The Blackangel

My computer cost about $1800. The laptop I bought for @Rain Dew was $4000. I use a desktop, but she doesn't like them, and wanted a laptop. I got a refund on some things which put $31k in my account. And I wanted to do something nice for her, so I got her the computer she wanted.

This is kinda gross, but I would get something sturdy that you have little to no chance and put it close to a bathroom. I live in a 3 bedroom house, and have converted one of them to an office. The desks that you have been shown so far are great, but don't look particularly sturdy to me. Also if you're getting a PC for work and not for gaming, I suggest an all-in-one as they only take up the space that you're monitor would take. I have an all-in-one for those kinds of things, and I love it. It's never hooked up to the internet, and is strictly for things like my writing and whatnot. They're light weight, compact, and a dream come true if you're just wanting it to work from. I also strongly recommend you go with an HP, as they're simply the best for computers like this. This is a pic of one in case this is confusing.

That's not entirely correct. Some countries have come out of it, but it's far from over. There are many nations with lacking medical care that are still in the midst of it. If you're talking about Sony in general, they're based in Tokyo Japan. The PlayStation is made between China and Japan. They have no bases in Russia or Ukraine.

I don't recall the exact numbers, but I do know that the PS1 heavily outsold the N64. One of the main reasons was Nintendo's choice of keeping cartridges instead of going with discs. And the N64 was monumental to the point that just about EVERYONE wanted one. For a long while, it was like the PS5. Almost impossible to find one. But very quickly, everyone lost interest in it. I highly doubt that any console, past present, and future will ever outsell the PS2. The PS5 is selling at an extreme rate, and I'm not surprised that it has outsold the Game Cube. The Game Cube wasn't all that popular. One reason was the controller design. It was wonky, hard to find the correct buttons at times, and just flat out uncomfortable. Their decision to go with mini discs was weird also. I heard that the reason they did that, was because they thought that would stop piracy. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.

I don't bother. I still buy DVD's and only worry about watching them when I feel the interest in watching them. I don't really see a point in keeping track. There are some movies I've watched hundreds of times. Some that I know by heart. It just doesn't make sense to me to keep track of them.

This is what led to Rick Rolling a few years back. It was all about click bait. Click bait is annoying as hell to me. It's used on YouTube all the time. A video looks good from the thumbnail, but sometimes it has nothing to actually do with the video. And some I've seen are all about jump scares. You're watching something soothing, then all of a sudden some zombie looking image flashes up at you and screams. So to sum up, I hate click bait.

That's the problem I have with porn. The positions among other things, are something women don't do outside of porn. I don't know a single woman who actually enjoys the pile driver position. No blood flow = no orgasm. And no woman I know likes having a guy cum all over her face. I've also never met a woman willing to take a guy at both ends at the same time. And not all women are bi or lesbian, so don't expect us to all eat another woman. Also, anal is not common. I'm not attacking porn as a whole. I've enjoyed adult entertainment from time to time. But the positions and stamina it takes to keep going are things that an injury can put you out for years to come, or even retire you. If she's having a rod put in her back, I'm sure she is going to have to look for another profession. You have to be flexible in ways that a rod in the back would keep you from doing. She's probably having to look at office jobs now.

Palen Music is a good place to check out. I bought my electric guitar there. It's a Fender Squire. Their prices are great and they have a hell of a lot of equipment and instruments. I really recommend them. You can also check around local pawn shops. Most will let you test out the instruments and equipment before you buy them. You can also check out sites like eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist. You can often find good equipment there.

I know for a while that gaming will still be a multi billion dollar industry for years to come. But a curiosity came to mind for me. How long will gaming last? 100 years from now the "ancient relics" of gaming could be a major antiquity market. Look at the Atari 2600 and NES. They're already nothing but collectibles to the majority. Yes there are some who still play them. Myself being one. But I won't be here in 100 years. I was born in 1982. I wont see the age of 118. I'm 40 now, and with all the medical issues I have to deal with, I doubt I'll make it to 60. The type of MD I have is actually terminal. I'm sure a lot of you have watched Futurama at some point. @Rain Dew and I love the show. But in that time video games were full on VR. There were no actual consoles. So I'm wondering what the life span will be for gaming. Gaming (as we know it) began in 1977 with the Atari 2600. Yes there were games before then, but I'm not counting them for this discussion. That's 45 years of gamers, and includes a crash in 1983. So games have survived a lot. But how long can they keep that up? I'm sure at some point, gaming will become obsolete. Just when is my curiosity.

I would say pretty much anything on the N64. I have played tons of games on it, and leveling up isn't a feature that I have ever found on the system. Sure, in some games you can get improved items, but there's no leveling process or feature that I have ever seen on any of them.

My number one is Layers Of Fear. It's truly a psychological game. It's you going around in a creepy and haunted mansion. Remothered: Broken Porcelain is another one that is freaky, yet draws you in to a point that the world around you vanishes and you in another place and time.

I moved this topic to the Mobile subforum, as it was posted in the wrong board.

I found one that actually DID pay out. It's called Solitaire Clash. It paid me $7 for coming in third place on a game. So if you're willing to pay the ante, you can actually make a bit of money. It's by no means a replacement for a real job, but it can't hurt.

I grew up playing Atari 2600 and NES. I remember people freaking out about how realistic the graphics were on the NES. Everyone wanted one. Then SNES. Same thing. There was a kid in my math class that was selling off all his SNES games and system, to get money for the N64 when it came out. People were more than blown away by the graphics. It was the first system that offered full 360° game play. Those consoles, while completely innovative for their time, are all but forgotten these days. They are retro, or "classic" as I call them. There is also a large part of gamers that prefer the old stuff, me being one of them. I play a tough of modern games (RDR2 nut), but aside from that, I'm strictly a classic gamer. That rambling aside, all consoles will become retro at some point. As time goes on, consoles will be built bigger and badder until we just put a small chip to the side of our heads and are flashed into another world of complete immersion.

You can get them for cheap on Craigslist. They're going for half price compared to stores like Walmart quite often. It's where I got my first Switch as my dog ate my first one. Well, not "eat" in the literal sense, but decided that it was a chew toy nonetheless.

Have you visited many tourist attractions in the UK? Things like the Druids altar, Stonehenge and possibly Ben Macdhui?

What kind of games are you into? Do you have a preferred system from any particular generation?

If you could live anywhere other than Scotland, where would you want to live and why?

The 1993 movie was an abomination that should have been abandoned when the writers wrote the first line. That said, this movie looks really good. A cartoon is a much better idea than live action. There is so much more that can be done with animation. I mean Dennis Hopper sure as hell doesn't have the ability to breathe fire. To add to your questioning about Bowser's name, when the hell did Princess Toadstool suddenly become Peach instead? The first time I heard her name being changed was Mario 64. But when and why is what I want to know.

Where did you see that?

Mine is about 4 years old if I remember correctly. It's a gaming PC, so I have a fairly decent computer. I do need to take it in, as it's running so damn slow it would be quicker to walk to google headquarters and just ask them shit in person.

A lazy woman. We're going to be home. To us, it's just any other day.
