What's a Food Fact That Completely Blew Your Mind?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I’ve always hated almonds. Cashews are good, but my favorites are pecans and walnuts. -
One that I got on my Switch is like this. It’s called Goblin Sword, and the graphics are a dead-on match to the graphics on Sega Genesis. They’re not like anything on Nintendo, only Sega. The game is fun, but its downfall is that it doesn’t end. It just stops. So it’s more of a time killer than anything, instead of a real game.

Is it ethical to use misleading trailers to promote a game?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Gaming Forum
No, it’s not. A misleading trailer simply says that the game is pure shit. I’ve downloaded a few games on my iPad that looked great. But when I go to play them the entire thing is literally 100% not what the trailer showed. The only thing they have in common is the name. It pisses me off, but when I see that, I just delete the game and move on. Now imagine if a trailer for GTA6 showed you starting off with a gold Ferrari, but you actually start off with a rusted out Ford. Every GTA gamer would be screaming for Rockstar’s blood. Not only is it bad business, but it’s a big “Fuck You” to the ones who would shell out the money for the game. -
Until I was introduced to RDR2, no. But now I bawl my eyes out when Arthur dies. I hate Micah, the same as everyone else. I feel an emotional connection with Arthur. In the Van der Linde gang, I’ve found the family that I didn’t have growing up. When it all collapses, I’m devastated. Which is why I tend to not go past chapter 3 anymore, assuming I even take it that far. You can see Pearson feeling like me when he looks at the gang photo he has hanging up in his shop in Rhodes. He misses it with every fiber of his being. And I do too. I can barely play the epilogue, because it breaks my heart. I’m probably too emotionally invested in the game, but I honestly can’t help it.

Being payed to game is the dream of every gamer. If I could get paid for playing RDR2, or Zelda OoT, I would be on them every waking hour. But as @Scorpion said, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. Which is something that even us as gamers most likely don’t realize just how much of that it truly takes. So while it’s a dream, that’s probably where it should stay. I can see burnout being a very real problem.

Do you have online gamer friends you’ve never met offline?
The Blackangel replied to Kennysplash's topic in Gaming Forum
The only gaming friends that I have online are the friends I’ve made here. While we’ve never gamed together, we’re still friends. And I highly doubt that we will ever game with each other due to my dislike of online gaming. -
An animal that I would love to have as a pet capuchin monkey. They’re so playful and smart that I would have a lot of fun with it. I would get one, but @Rain Dew won’t let me. BITCH! Another would be a capybara. The problem there is that we don’t have the space and environmental requirements to support one and keep it healthy and happy. The rodent is my first totem. I have 6 rats, but a capybara is the biggest rodent on earth, and I just think it would be a great playmate. Until I piss it off. Then it’s a fight for my life. They’re POWERFUL little shits. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any others. @Rain Dew can probably think if one that I’m forgetting.

Have You Ever Had a Food-Related Disaster in the Kitchen?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I remember that. We had to get Dante the hell out of that room fast. To let everyone know, Dante was our blue throated macaw. He loved calling everyone “asshole”. Technically, he was my bird, but he bonded with @Rain Dew fast. He hated men. He also wasn’t a fan of me despite being a woman. He tore me open several times. -
Which Nintendo console had the most impact on your childhood?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Nintendo
Easily the NES. It has the best games. Originality was the law of the land. Every game was taking a chance. It could make or break you. More often than not, it wasn’t a huge success. But developers were willing to do something different. -
Is the Super Bowl Still the Biggest Sports Event in the World?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in Sports
Here in the states, yes. It’s the biggest sports event. Further out, no way. I give the World Cup that distinction. Considering that the entire planet has a soccer team from every country, nothing is bigger than. Soccer is no where near as popular here as it is for the rest of the planet. -
What's a Food Fact That Completely Blew Your Mind?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Apparently it’s not much different than condensed soup. A can of water and 3 or 4 noodles. It’s more broth than anything. -
Have You Ever Had a Food-Related Disaster in the Kitchen?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I was fixing break one day and was getting flour to make the gravy, and suddenly @Rain Dew yelled out “Fire!” I turned and the grease in the skillet had caught fire. I didn’t think, I just grabbed the skillet and ran for the door. I got a ton of grease all over my hand. I had second degree burns all over my hand. Just a hair worse and it would have been third degree. You can still see the scars to this day. -
Would you rather live in a futuristic world or a historical one?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Historical. All my life I’ve wished I was born 150 years earlier. -
I can’t even figure out photoshop.

What's a Food Fact That Completely Blew Your Mind?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Shark fin soup. I know people who have tried it, and I’ve read reviews online, and everyone says the same thing. It has no flavor and almost no texture. Which makes me wonder what the hell is the point? You can’t taste it, and almost can’t feel it. I’ll stick with chicken noodle, thank you very much. -
What's the weirdest habit your pets have?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I had a dig once that LOVED to play with skunks. I never figured out what the hell was wrong with the dumbass dig. While I’ve personally never been sprayed by one, I’ve smelled skunk enough that it honestly doesn’t bother me at all. I actually kinda like the smell. I guess it reminds me of simpler times. -
One of several things I wish I could do is draw. I’m the only person on earth who fucks up a stick figure. I’m looking for an art teacher who can teach me how to draw. I can teach myself a language or instrument. But learning to draw requires a teacher for me.

Shoes vs. Barefoot: What's Your Preference?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
I grew up barefoot. I had shoes, but if I could be barefoot, I was. I went to school barefoot a lot, and even tried going barefoot to work. But that was shut down fast.😢 -
Goats?

Let’s leave the water temple out of this one. What is/was the hardest task you ever did in OoT? Was it collecting the tunics from the free side? Getting Epona? Or was it sneaking past the guards to meet Zelda? For me, it was the final part of the trading game to get the Big Goron sword. Getting from Lake Hylia to the top of Death Mountain was a pain. Even with Epona. In the 4 minutes given to do it, you have to exit the goofy lake guy’s house, jump on Epona, race across Hyrule field, run through Kakariko village, get to the vertical climb, take the time to kill the tektites on each ledge, make it to the Goron on top of the mountain and speak to him to finish it all. When you get to the top, he’ll use the eyedrops you brought him, and get set to work fixing the broken blade you brought him. While we’re talking about difficult tasks, has anyone ever actually beaten the shooting games, or followed Dampe through his grave in less than a minute? I’ve been playing this game since it dropped, but I’ve never been able to do it.

What game(s) have a boss in a part of the game that is immensely harder to beat than the final boss in your opinion? One of them for me is in Diablo II. Easily it’s Duriel. It’s harder than Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal. I’m not sure why, but that damn daemon is a bitch to beat. I never had a problem with any of the other bosses. Eventually I had to cheat my ass off, so I started creating armor and items that pretty much made me invincible just to beat the damn thing. It’s a good thing the expansion pack doubled the size of your stash. I put them on when I got to Duriel, and then just put them back in my stash after beating it. Has anyone else come across a boss that was harder that the final one?

Have you ever been "addicted" to a PC game? Which one?
The Blackangel replied to killamch89's topic in PC
The only two that come to mind for me is AOE2 and Diablo II. When I got those, it was like my hand was glued to my mouse. There just wasn’t enough hours in the day to play them. @Rain Dew actually told me to get off the computer because I’d been playing for something like 16 hours once. I was obsessed. Luckily I was able to survive.😋 -
We have all seen the remake of Link’s Awakening. But what other games would you see with updated graphics, ala Link’s awakening, but remain exactly the same game. I think it would be interesting to see Zelda II remade. I don’t know how they could go about doing it, but it would DEFINITELY be a trip. But that’s my first choice. Blaster Master would also be a mind blowing one.
