  1. Most of the girls I know tend to lean more towards purple. Some of the girls I know only go with pink because they're afraid of being called lesbians or seen as a tomboy. It's toxic femininity. Yes guys, women have the same thing too. Hell, I used to know a girl who would only wear dresses and skirts for this very reason.
  2. I have all 5 PlayStation consoles at the moment. But if the past 2 years are any indication, ending the PS4 so soon would be disastrous for Sony. People are having to rely on luck and accident to get a PS5. That's how I got mine. Someone was selling it on Craigslist, and I got lucky as hell. Unless you're willing to pay $1,000 at an online store like Walmart.com, you're shit out of luck. Forget for the moment the fact that PS5 is completely reverse compatible with PS4. Putting a halt on games for one system to make people play games for a system they can't even get their hands on is as stupid as it gets. Unless all of a sudden the microchip shortage ends, and they can get back into full on production of the PS5, they're only going to hurt sales. And in a seriously debilitating way.
  3. I like the movies, episodes 1-6. After Lucas sold it to Disney, the entire franchise was destroyed to nothing but a money grab. Hell I refuse to watch Return Of The Jedi on anything but VHS, since they replaced Darth Vader with hayden fucking christianson at the end on the DVD's. And I left his name uncapitalized intentionally. I absolutely hate him and his pathetic attempts at acting. Aside from him, episodes 2 and 3 were good. They would have been better if they replaced him with a rabid monkey. Hopefully the remake 2 and 3, with someone WHO CAN ACTUALLY ACT.
  4. I have no problem with handhelds. I play on my Switch and GBASP all the time. The only reasons I use a GBASP instead of the original GB is practicality. The GBASP is backlit and uses a charge cord instead of batteries. So I save a shitload of money using it instead of replacing batteries all the time. Hell, I would be lucky to be able to afford the gas just to go get them.
  5. Yes. All but exclusively. There's a small handful of games on newer systems that I play, but aside from them, I game from the N64 era and back all the way to the Atari 2600.
  6. In Link To The Past, you travel back and forth between the Light World, and the Dark World. Ganon is trying to build up his power to take over the Light World. he has found the Triforce of power, and turned the Golden Land (where the Triforce was held) into the Dark World. He hasn't managed to take over the Light World, despite opening a portal between the two, at Hyrule castle. It's a great game, and I highly recommend playing it. I started writing a walkthrough (thought it was a review) and posted it here. It's probably lost to time, so I don't know where to find it, as it was sometime last year.
  7. I was talking to a Gamestop employee yesterday, and he said that they get the Series X in on occasion, but usually get around 2 of them. The Series S is readily in supply virtually everywhere. The Series X, for whatever reason, is not. Why, I don't know, unless the X takes different components than the S. Excluding disc drives, for the sake of conversation. Maybe it's the design. I hate it personally. A damn concrete block is not something I find attractive. At least the S has a decent design.
  8. This sounds suspiciously like Zelda: A Link To The Past on SNES. Can you give me some examples how it's different, and a solid reason to get off my ass, dig out a 3DS, and play it? Assuming I have it. I'm a huge fan of the Zelda franchise, but I'm not some fan chick who has to say that they're all great. There have been a few that I hated, but for the most part I have loved them all. Especially the original. Best in the entire franchise if you ask me.
  9. I'm a hell of a lot more aggressive than you are. I get violent. If you want to talk shit, you should at least have the decency to do it out of earshot. If you do it around the person, you open yourself up to getting hurt.
  10. Also, dimming the sun would make winters more ferocious. It would kill millions in each country because humans are simply not equipped to deal with such winters. The entire world would be facing Antarctic conditions. Millions of animals would go extinct due to not being able to survive outdoors. It would kill off millions of species of flora as well. Doing such would simply be giving the planet a rocket booster aimed at extinction. As for North Korea, they will shoot it down if they feel like it, illegal or not. They're not a part of any international treaties, so they have little to nothing to fear that would stop them. Kimmy's arrogance and narcissism would dictate whether he would destroy a satellite. If he did get caught he would just make up some lie, like saying that it was spying on them. Even the DirecTV satellite would be fair game and it's in orbit permanently above Texas. It doesn't circle the globe, it stays put. I know that because I used to have a job installing satellite TV for them. Weather satellites would be fair game too.
  11. Ave As @Shagger said, if you have any questions, all you have to do is ask a staff member. You sound like you have a good situation at home. Making sure you have family friendly games due tot he age of your child, is a good course of action. If you want something more adult oriented, you could buy a cartridge and just keep it where you child won't find it. That is unless your interests stick mainly to, as you put it, "kiddie games". The forum is well educated on the gaming industry, so you should be able to find answers to most everything. Everyone here has their specialty. Personally speaking, I'm viewed as our classic gaming expert. So if you want anything from Atari 2600 era to PS5 era, there is someone who can answer your questions. Ave
  12. One of the four siblings of the Titan Pallas and the eldest Oceanid, Styx, Kratos was, for the Ancient Greeks, a personification of brute Strength or Power. His brother and both of his sisters were embodiment's of similar traits. Zelus represented Zeal, Aspiration, Emulation, and Glory; Nike was the personification of Victory; and Bia of Might and Force. Hesiod describes them as “wonderful children” and recounts how they earned their status and reputation. Namely, when Zeus was preparing for the Titanomachy, he tried to assemble as many allies as possible, by promising whoever fights with him a divine office and appropriate rights. At the advice of her father Oceanus, Styx was the first one to join his forces, bringing with herself her four children. Zeus repaid her by declaring that, from then on, all gods will swear their oaths by her sacred waters and that Styx’ four children will live with him forevermore. Consequently, Kratos and his siblings have no dwelling place but Zeus himself, i.e., they are aspects of his personality and authority. There's a hell of a lot of debate there. Some say that each pantheon has completely different Gods. Others say the Gods are the same, but revealed themselves differently in each culture. The only thing I know for a fact about that, is that the Romans adopted the Greek Gods, and simply renamed them. The Gods may protect you, they may not. You have better chance of being in their favor if you swear fealty to one specific God. That God will probably show favor to you. I'm not sure entirely sure what you mean by "defense" in this situation. But I'm going to take a shot and say that atheism is a good attempt at it. They will neither favor you nor dismiss you. They most likely won't even notice you, and therefore not make Themselves part of your life. But this is all speculation, as if you don't believe in Them, They would obviously have no effect on your life.
  13. Your uncle needed to be tied up and beaten with a baseball bat.
  14. Myself, I am both Hellenistic and Satanic. But for this discussion, I'm going to focus on the Hellenistic part. God Of War is the only one that actually features and of the ancient Gods. That said, it also does a piss poor portrayal of Them. It twists around who They are, and what They are. The name of the game refers to Ares specifically, yet He has little appearance in the first one, and virtually no appearances in any of the others.
  15. Considering the difference in graphic quality, and the fact that I haven't played RDR1 anywhere near as much as I have RDR2, I can't come up with a valid comparison. It's like comparing Zelda Twilight Princess to Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link.
  16. With the exception of the bulldog, our dogs are all very well behaved. Typically, Bella (the bulldog) is well behaved too. But when she starts chewing on something that is NOT a dog toy, she gets a scolding. A firm one, but not an angry one.
  17. I once again have to give my vote to RDR2. The amount of detail, and accuracy of plants in the game is stunning. They got pretty much everything right.
  18. I would give my vote to Castlevania SOTN. I learned a hell of a lot about swords from playing the game. Sure, a lot of them are purely fictional, and only thought up for the game. But I did learn a lot there.
  19. Our bulldog decided the previous one was a chew toy. She also destroyed several of our cartridges as well. The games we lost were Dead By Daylight, Mario Odyssey, Paper Mario Origami King, Skyrim, and South Park The Fractured But Whole. I didn't like South Park, so I'm not missing that one. But the others have me a bit pissed off. That's a lot of money to replace them. @Rain Dew enjoyed a couple of them as well, so we need to get the cartridges instead of DDL, so that we can both play it. If it was different, I would just buy them as DDL's but she wanted them too. I already have 123 DDL's. I would prefer to have a few physical copies of some games. In total we had 23 carts, but now we're down to 18.
  20. Try his, or @Yaramaki instead of "IT".
  21. RDR2. Javier sings all the time in camp. Arthur sings a decent amount when he's out on his horse. Here's a video I recorded from the game. I'm not the best with Spanish, so I posted it in the hopes someone could eventually tell me what the hell he's singing.
  22. I uninstall games if I lose all interest in them. I have probably done that with 30 or more games on my iPhone. I have tons of games on it, but the majority just hold no interest for me anymore. I do keep some of them around though, if I decide I want to play something different.
  23. I have to go with YouTube. I've never used Twitch before, but I know my way around YouTube, and how to get things done there. So I'm just sticking with what I know.
  24. I've been playing and replaying it for a couple years now.
  25. I finally got a new Switch a couple days ago. It took about a day and a half to get all my digital games redowloaded onto the new one. But it's up and running, and I'm enjoying it. I got another Switch Lite, if anyone is curious about it. It's the blue one.
