Sour cream and onion juice shake

That was not a dash cam. Dash cam's have a much higher resolution and quality video. That was cell phone grade video. Also, the fact that the camera went flying upon impact was a dead giveaway. And from what I saw, I think he intentionally hit the guy in front of him. It looked like he wasn't trying to even slow down. If that's not the case, then why the hell was he filming it with his fucking phone???

I haven't gotten one yet. I'm just not sure which is the best one to go with. I hear a lot about ExpressVPN, but I just don't know, as there are a lot of recommendations for others.

If you go with Citizen watches you can get some that are ECO-Drive watches. They're solar powered, so you don't have to worry about batteries. Any watch and jewelry shop will tell you they're worthless, because they will lose money replacing batteries. But that's bullshit. I have 2 and have had them for several years. No issues at all other than deciding which one to wear. The other watch is a battery powered watch, but I haven't replaced the battery in it forever, because it goes through batteries quick as hell. Either that or I was getting batteries that were already more than half drained when I took it in to get a new battery put in.

Nintendo games have become too easy according to Nintendo Enthusiast
The Blackangel replied to Kane99's topic in Nintendo
As sad as it is, it's a fact. Games are becoming easier and easier. It seems that if you want an actual challenge from Nintendo, you're almost forced to become a classic gamer. That's no issue for me, as I already AM a classic gamer. Don't get me wrong, I have games such as Skyrim and Witcher 3 on my Switch. But the games Nintendo deals out such as Mario and Zelda, are sadly simple. Once I got the hang of how BOTW worked, it was so simple I got bored with it REALLY quick. I haven't played it in a few months now. I got to Kakariko village, and thought "This is it? This is the game? This is boring as hell." If Nintendo would simply put out a game that is a challenge from the beginning, and forgo the bullshit training then I would be more interested in their games and stop looking through indie titles. I've been thinking that the most challenging game currently has to be Mario Maker 2. At least there you can create your own levels to make an actual challenge. Just check the new Cinemassacre video. -
Characters that exist in video games but can't be seen
The Blackangel replied to Patrik's topic in Gaming Forum
There’s theories that it’s a giant that’s hiding up there. That’s more credible than a bunch of sentient rocks. -
I enjoyed Jamaica when I was there. I wanted to go to Rose Hall, but didn’t get the chance.

Would you want to travel the world in an RV?
The Blackangel replied to ZandraJoi's topic in General Chat
Bigfoot is more of an asshole. When I was living in Colorado, I saw him one day and he flipped me the bird. Luckily it was cooked this time. -
5 dogs 9 rats 2 birds 2 dragons 18 kids in total, but my niece claimed one of the dragons, and I’m trying to find a good home for the other one. So it will be 16 soon.

Mine is a bit smaller than yours. It’s a Celestron NexStar 5se. I have no issues with it, and can see nebulae in detail, as well as our solar system. I can track exoplanets well with it. I’ve watched a couple minor asteroid collisions. They weren’t anything big or uncommon. It was in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. So it was just a days work in the belt. I’m looking for a good solar filter to study the sun, but I’m not in any kind of rush. My favorite nebula is The Pillars Of Creation. If you can’t tell, I love astronomy. I always have. When I was a kid, there were often meteor showers in the summer. Most were roughly around 3:00AM, so I would set my alarm to wake me up to watch and then I would fall asleep in the yard watching the shower. Something related to astronomy that is number one on my bucket list is a trip to the arctic circle, (north Alaska most likely) so I can see the northern lights.

I have a Celestron Power Tank, but I only have it to run my telescope. It can power several things and even be used to jump a vehicle, but I don't use it for any of that. Just my telescope. It's technically not a generator, but it does provide power when it's charged.

Would you want to travel the world in an RV?
The Blackangel replied to ZandraJoi's topic in General Chat
I would like to have an RV and be able to travel in it, but I wouldn't want it as my permanent home. I need a house that doesn't have a steering wheel. I have lived in a trailer before, and I love them. They can be a little cramped depending on size, but they're great homes, and the bills of living in one are super cheap. If I wasn't in a wheelchair, I would be looking for one now. I don't have the money to have a ramp built so I could get in and out. So I'm kinda screwed there. Either way, I want a place that isn't going to go anywhere and doesn't have an engine and transmission. -
We have the same. We record a lot of shows through our DirecTV DVR. We don't always remember to change the channel at the right time to catch the show, so we set it to record and watch it later. Also I'm always watching hockey, so that kinda blocks Love After Lockup.

Characters that exist in video games but can't be seen
The Blackangel replied to Patrik's topic in Gaming Forum
There's someone, or something in a mountain in RDR2 that talks to you when you're in the right spot. You can never see it, but it's friendly. It talks about being alone because it's different, if I remember correctly. You can only talk to it a few times, and I don't think it's until chapter 4 that you meet it. The fact that if the mountain itself isn't sentient, this thing not showing itself irks me, because I what to know what the hell I'm talking to. I've looked all over that damn mountain, and found nothing.😠 -
I have Hispanic family, and they were scared to death to vote in the election. The Hispanic and black community here had been getting threats to not even show their faces on election day. So I drove them to their polling place, and went in with them, armed. Afterwards, I drove around town taking twists and turns to make sure no one was following us, and then took them home. I stayed with them for the majority of the day, and nothing happened. The sight of a gun on my hip and the pentagram on my back window was possibly what scared them off.

There will be a lot of their nazi soldiers going around and making vague but clear threats to all the Democrats they can find, warning them not to vote. "Bad things can happen." And their nazi tactics will unfortunately work on a lot of them. They will be too scared to vote, so they stay home. The ones that tell the nazis to fuck off, will have to deal with things that can't be traced to anyone specific, so they will be shit out of luck. Security systems are useless, because since everyone is wearing a mask, you can't really se much of the face. And spray paint over a camera will stop that shit. Kill them. I want the entire republiKKKlan party dead.

Racist, criminal, bigoted, entitled, fraudulent, prejudice, should I keep going? They are making it so they can throw ballots in the trash if they don't agree. The only ballots that will be cast in Georgia now will be the ones for republiKKKlans. All Democrat votes will be thrown away, run through a shredder, and/or simply burned in a barrel except for a few so they can make the claim that it was a "fair" election. Democrats are under attack. We need a strong alliance to fight back, and we fucking need it now.

In this post @StaceyPowers asked what everyone thought were the most philosophical video games. My answer to that question got me thinking. Do you ever see things in games that aren't blatantly obvious, but have to take a special perception to notice? Something like a character in pain, but who hides it extremely well. Things that most would never see or notice. There is a running question about whether Bill in RDR2 is gay. He was given a dishonorable discharge from the Army for deviancy, and I think attempted murder. Homosexuality was considered deviant and a disease back then. It wasn't removed from the mental disease list until 1973. Then there are his actions in camp and interactions with characters that add more fuel to the fire. This video goes into it. Warning there are possible spoilers. So do any of you notice things that aren't spoken?

I would say there's a lot of philosophy in RDR2. The constant struggle between right and wrong that Arthur feels leads to an intense inner turmoil within him. He's leading the only life he has ever known, and loyal to a fault. But he questions it within himself as to whether he's doing the right thing or not. He knows he's surviving by committing crimes. But he wonders if there's another life. And if he could live that life while remaining loyal. Or even live that life at all. He wonders where he would be if Dutch hadn't found him as a child. He wonders where he would be if Mary's family had accepted him. Basically, he just wonders where he would be if things were different. And it tears him up inside, because that's something he can never know.

How often do you save over saves by mistake?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
That would depend on the type of save system a game has. If it's something like Zelda OoT and previous Zelda games where you only have 3 files to choose from, then it doesn't really happen. You cant overwrite a save file in that style. If it's like RDR2 where there is a list of files that you can play, then it happens too often. Often enough that I now keep 1 and on a rare occasion maybe 2 save files. I turn off that autosave bullshit. All it does is interfere with game play and usually either gets me killed, or costs me the animal I'm hunting. Depending on the animal, sometimes it's both. But that's related to needing perfect hides for crafting. So unless I'm at a point that I don't have interest in a certain file, then it happens too much and sends me to PissedLand. Where the drinks are triple price, and the fights are every 30 minutes with assholes you don't even fucking know. -
When video games feel more real than RL
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
How so? I don't feel like I'm repeating anything. So I don't see how in any way they could be similar. -
Illogical in-game situations that make you laugh?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Do glitches count? If so I can relay MANY such situations. -
PC series that you want to show up on console?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Age Of Empires II and Diablo II. That would be pretty sweet. Of course the cheat codes for AOE would most likely not be available, and I wouldn't be able to script and create my own items for Diablo II. But it would still be awesome to play them again without having to dig out the computer I was using 20+ years ago.
