The Blackangel

It's not an addiction, it's a lack of options. I'm stuck in a wheelchair because I'm disabled and unable to work a job, so I draw disability. That in and of itself leaves me with the entire day to try to fill. Hence, I play video games more now than I used to. At this moment, I'm completely burned out on gaming. It doesn't matter in the least what the game or platform is, I don't want to play it. I'll get back to my old self in a few days, maybe a week or two. But when your entire day is nothing but empty time, you look for things to do to occupy that time. If I feel the itch, I'll get back to writing. Maybe I can finally fix my first novel, or just write a few new shorts. Most likely though, I'll just be bored as hell and not want to do much of anything. This is not a life worth living. But I would rather be the thorn in the worlds side than give it peace.

Is that a response to me?

There are no updated graphics on a PS3. You have the exact same graphics for the game that you had on the previous system. The graphics are written in the disc not the machine. As for which one to get I say get the slim. The original one had a lot of issues running PS2 games. It overheated, and often the hard drive would completely crash. The slim still has backwards compatibility with PS1 games, just not with PS2 games.

There are more assholes with zero knowledge about something that will insist on educating you about it when you are actually knowledgeable about it already. For example someone here who was born in the 2000’s and has never encountered a NES in their life in any way whatsoever, then trying to educate me about the system. There’s too many arrogant pieces of shit like that in gaming. It’s why I game alone, and a part of why I can’t stand online gaming.

When it becomes entirely 100% about the money instead of about the games.

RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 SPOILERS RDR2 did it for me. At the end I was wondering what the hell I accomplished. With pretty much everyone either turning on each other, or ending up dead or going their own way. The gang broke up completely and it all seemed for nothing. There were no bonds left.

The family atmosphere in RDR2. Something that didn’t exist for me growing up.

RDR2. I’ve been playing it for about a year, maybe a bit less.

This will take a hell of a lot of thinking for me as 99% of the games I play are linear, and don’t offer the ability to make choices. But that’s normal for classic games.

Zelda has had some pretty radical changes. Both to Hyrule and Link himself. The last time I remember him wearing his traditional green tunic was N64. He always had a different outfit after that from the games I saw, not counting GameBoy and the Links Awakening remake. Not to mention that one wasn’t in Hyrule, nor was Majoras Mask.

I’ve seen romantic relationships in countless games, but I can’t think of any that really offered more than those same two options. It was always either get married, or go your separate ways.

That would be a bitch of a choice. I’m obsessed with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, so never being able to watch them again would be a killer. I could still watch Johnny on 21 Jumpstreet though, right? It’s not a movie, it’s a TV series. As for Tim I would be limited to a couple shorts of his. Vincent is a short he did that I love just because of how creepy it is. He got Vincent Price to narrate it, which just adds so much. But to get back to topic, I would have to choose to give up movies. The games mean more. Psychologically speaking. They’re more engaging and with nothing but empty time, I need something that occupies my ears, eyes, and hands or I start having severe anxiety attacks.

Considering that I have nothing but empty time, I game the entire time I’m awake. The amount of hours I’m awake every day varies, but from the moment I wake up, until I go to sleep, I’m gaming. I have very few options to keep myself occupied, which is why I have so many games on my phone, and keep my Switch nearby all the time.

I use Energizer rechargeable batteries. It saves money and they don't end up in a landfill. I'm environmentally conscious, but I'm not some lunatic eco-nut.

1) RDR2 2) Goblin Sword The rest of my games I've either beaten a billion times over the years, or not beaten at all. Those are the only new ones I have to list.

The library here does it, but I never got any games or movies that way. I usually just went in to check my email and work on a website I used to run. Other than that, I never really went to a library. I knew how to use microfilm and the card catalog since that was all we had. But I didn't spend a lot of time there.

And upon that reach in, those hands need to be chopped off. Maybe then they will get an idea how the rest of the country felt.

I guarantee that Adolf has copies of our most top secret files stored somewhere like Adolf Tower or somewhere else, smuggled out. Most likely his crotch goblin Adolf Jr. was told to hide them. It most definitely includes launch codes as well. He will sell them to the highest bidder. North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, or some group like Isis. Then he will take refuge in Putin's ass to hide. But his best friend being Putin, he may just give the files to him as an "I love you" gift. There's no telling what he has copied and smuggled out. We were fucked when he stole the election in 2016, and we've gone downhill into the ninth layer of Hell since.

This looks like something that is going to be more of a problem than it's worth. How often do people run their finger along the side of their phone when using it without realizing it? Damn near every single time. So you could be talking to someone when your phone starts expanding, causing you to drop it, and WHOOPS, now you need to take it in and get a new one, because this one broke. Again. This is as stupid an idea as I have ever seen.

I think I posted that on the wrong thread.

Given that of all systems that are going right now, as a gaming system Nintendo has been around the longest, and feel superior to the others. PlayStation didn't come out until the N64 was out (Nintendo fucked up there) and Xbox didn't come out until a couple years later. So they're kinda the OG of gaming, since Atari and Sega are out of the console market. Also Nintendo has been around since the 1889. They were originally a playing card company. So that's one hell of a superiority complex. As a video game company, they're a beast and virtually untouchable. They're also a big baby when something doesn't go their way. Given that they're 132 years old, maybe they're more senile than a baby.

I don't know if I would call it hoarding. Given what happened in Washington it might not be a bad idea to stock up on things like this to avoid the crowds. Things in my town exploded when it happened, and I'm not willing to leave, because I know I will be a target since I have a Biden 2020 sticker on the back of my car. I know I would end up shooting someone. I carry and will defend myself with lethal force if necessary. So I'm staying home unless I have no choice. Which means I need to have as much to entertain myself as possible.

Are you fucking serious? If it's time for me to shut down Zelda for a while, I need to be penalized for that? How does that make any sense? If I save and quit RDR2 for the day? Am I supposed to lose all my guns and horses just because I chose to do it and wasn't killed off? This question is bullshit.

I had an uncle that despised the very notion of gaming. He was southern baptist and decided that any and all gaming was a path to worshiping Satan. He worshiped his church. Not worshiped AT his church, worshiped his church. Anything and everything about his life revolved around that hell hole. When he would come around I would say things like "Hail Satan" and "Fuck jesus" just to piss him off. He tried forcing his shit on me. I went off on him one day because he made a comment about Muslims worshiping a statue, which is bullshit. They're not allowed to even draw a stick figure if it represents Mohammed, yet xtians kneel before a wooden crucifix and pray to it, a well as having pictures and effigies of christ all over their homes and places of worship. There were other things I said but they're irrelevant. If I had any games that directly or indirectly related to Satan as a protagonist in any way, I would have made sure to play them in front of him at every chance. I did make it a point to read the Satanic Bible whenever he was around. But his worm eaten corpse has been in the ground for a long time now. Good riddance.

I never played RDR either, only RDR2. But unlike you I love RDR2. I think it's a great game. To each their own. No game is going to be loved by 100% of all gamers. The only Elder Scrolls I have ever played is Skyrim, and I've barely put any time into it. I need to get back on it, because I was enjoying the hell out of it. I just got sidetracked by other games. With Assassins Creed, the only one I have played is AC3. I have the first 3 AC's but haven't played 1 or 2 yet. The other games you mentioned I have never played anything in their respective series.
