    The Blackangel got a reaction from Smokey in Galerians?   
    I've never heard of it, but after seeing that trailer, I'm looking for it.
    Going by eBay, most copies are around $75 and up. I saw a couple that were about $60, but the vast majority were $75+.

    This is the first time I am hearing of this game. Was it a really popular game? Doesn't seem to be one that was really out there it seems with me not hearing about it. It does sound interesting though with the telekinetic powers & abilities instead of guns, especially since most games now tend to use things like guns.

    It was just Pong.
    Final Fantasy is one. I took this from Wikipedia:
    "Though often attributed to the company (Square) allegedly facing bankruptcy, Sakaguchi explained that the game was his personal last-ditch effort in the game industry and that its title, Final Fantasy, stemmed from his feelings at the time; had the game not sold well, he would have quit the business and gone back to college."

    I would add the ability to control my dog's farts. If I could turn them off, especially when I'm sleeping or trying to sleep, that would be the best feature ever.

    I totally get you. As I've said, I have 125 DDL's on my Switch. I've played maybe 10 of them. I keep getting games that look like a lot of fun, and are right up my alley. But after I buy them and they download, I tend to forget that I even have them, or what they're even about.

    The Blackangel reacted to Reality vs Adventure in Texas Paul just EXPOSED the dark truth behind Ron DeSantis' latest CORRUPT SCHEMES   
    I don't know what to say either. Haven't heard much about the hurricane in Florida, but I'm sure the rich will get better boats out of it. And to think that DeSantis voted against hurricane relief for New York and New Jersey for hurricane Sandy, but expects aid for Florida. Of course, republicans love to politicize natural disasters. Maybe DeSantis is distracting from something. Is it from the hurricane response? Well, DeSantis has been engaging in an all out culture war before the hurricane. He began all this during the Covid crisis. At one point Florida had the most cases and deaths in the whole country because he refused to comply with mandates and messed up all the schools and hospitals. He had government Covid funds to be used for hospitals, and while people were dying in the hospitals at max capacity, DeSantis still did not utilize the Covid funds to try and save their lives. Instead, he used those funds to write a freebie check of $450 to Floridians as a voter bribe. That free check is fucking blood money. There is an investigation where he also used Covid funds to bus migrants to Martha's Vineyard. And even now, DeSantis wants to investigate Fauci, who republicans obviously hate. Dr. Fauci is a modern day Galileo who went to prison for saying the Earth revolves around the sun and christians couldn't handle the science. While at the same time DeSantis obstructed Covid data to the public. 
    I don't think his culture war is a distraction. I believe it is all out fascism. Fascism ideology itself is one big distraction while all your rights get taken away. Here is a list of things DeSantis has done in Florida. After looking at this list, any sane person will agree what the motives are, which is fascist authoritarianism. Fascist I say? Yes. This is what it is and what DeSantis has done:
    1) Racist gerrymandering and voter suppression
    2) Anti riot bill with selective enforcement aimed towards liberal protestors with harsh punishments and it legalizes the terrorist act of ploughing your vehicle into protestors blocking the street. This bill has even caused concern for the United Nations saying that the bill violates human rights.
    3) Don't say gay bill bans any talk of gender or sexual orientation in schools
    4) Ban gender affirming care for trans under 18
    5) Ban businesses from choosing what they can invest in; they can no longer invest in anything woke such as the environment. DeSantis also abused his power to attack Disney for speaking out against him. He even wants the House republicans to investigate a cable company for making it's own business decision to no longer air Newsmax on the cable channels. Yes, DeSantis wants congress to investigate why a cable company has the freedom to make its own business decisions. WTF.....
    6) Ban African American studies; ban discussion of anything related to racism, slavery, segregation, civil rights etc. At the same time DeSantis displays hypocrisy by forcing all schools to teach about victims of communism in the classroom. Why not victims of slavery, racism, or segregation, or even fascism??? Clearly racist hypocrisy. 
    7) Ban books including Math books. Teachers now can get a 5 year prison sentence for having an unapproved book. 
    😎 Ban DEI in universities which is diversity, equity, and inclusivity. A proposed bill to ban any course, discussion, or anything related to diversity, equity, or inclusivity. Professors can now be sued for anything and tenure is banned. DeSantis has eliminated all liberal education board members and installed his own ideological lackeys to enforce white washing of education. University staff and students now have surveys that ask all about your personal political ideologies. 
    9) A bill is now heading to the supreme court forcing what social media can or can't do. A ban on social media being able to ban or suspend people no matter what and allow anyone to sue social media. 
    10) Ban abortions
    11) DeSantis unconstitutionally got rid of a judge for opposing DeSantis and determined to be unconstitutional by the court and still the constitution was too weak to allow the judge to get his job back. 
    12) DeSantis claims he has executive privilege to keep public records secret and executive privilege is not in Florida's constitution. 
    I'm probably leaving a bunch of stuff out. These are some pretty big issues that we do not need from anyone who wants to represent America. Attacking women, gays, trans, education, universities, elections, independent businesses, ethnicities, protesting rights, and on and on is clearly fascism. Republicans want a dictatorship. And why? All of this distraction to please a racist base and lose rights to please a bigoted base distracts us from their agenda of a dictatorship. Who is indoctrinating who? Democrats are not abusing the laws of government to ban books or block discussion of history or what courses you can take in college. That is the difference in that republicans are abusing the laws of government for their cheap racist and religious ideologies. Republicans entered very dangerous ground. They are a morally broken society. And they are bouncing from Trump and going with someone who they believe would give them a better chance at a dictatorship. Yes, this all sounds extreme and that's because it is.
    Look at this list. This isn't behavior or legislation from someone who respects our constitution and civil rights.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Reality vs Adventure in Safe to say future consoles won't have physical media/disc drives?   
    As much as I hate to admit it, I see things going strictly digital in the not too distant future. Possibly within the PS6 era, whenever that comes. Nintendo would be the only one I could see being a holdout. It would land a hell of a blow on profits for companies. Games are all on Blu-ray discs now, which Sony owns the patent to. So if say Xbox went to strictly digital, and stopped using Blu-ray discs, Sony would lose a shitload of money. I hope this doesn't happen any time soon, but I'm absolutely 100% positive it will eventually.

    With the way most companies are pushing digital over physical now it definitely seems like that is what we will see happen. It may not happen for quite a few years yet but over that time, companies will more than likely push digital out more and more so that people are ready for when that happens.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from LeoGrun in What have you found is your best method that works when bettering your gaming skills?   
    Repetition. Do it over and over until you find your style, and know how to use it. For example, with FF8 most people are either magic users or rely heavily on their GF's. Me, the way that works for me is physical attacks. I can kick some major ass doing that. I also know how to junction magic and abilities to the point that I'm almost invincible.
    So experiment, and repeat until you have your style down. It's what works for me.

    Yes they do feature online capabilities. First you have to have someone linked as a friend on both your Switch's. Second you both have to subscribe to Switch Online. Then you just link with your friend, and you both load up the game. That's how it worked for me when I subscribed. But I quickly unsubscribed since it was just an emulator, and nostalgia is 95% or what matters to me.

    Fox News has always said dumb shit about video games and how they cause violence or that it's a waste of time. I never take what Fox News says seriously, because they can't be bothered to do any research into the BS they spew about video games.
    I've seen many reports on Fox news about how video games are bad for our youth or bad in general. If they can't take the time to do any research, then I say ignore them. 
    What I hate the most, is how they try to pair video games with these school shootings and other shootings in general. It's just a joke at this point with how the media likes to point fingers at video games as being these things that teach kids to be violent.

    And trying to make colleges tell him everything about their courses and deciding for them what will and will not be allowed? One of the scariest things is that at the moment he's one of the front runners for the republiKKKlan nomination in the next presidential election.
    Anyone who's not a right wing bigoted coward should be VERY worried at the moment.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from killamch89 in The evil of the animal kingdom….   
    Macaws aren't built to ride around in cars. They need space to be free in. As for being a handful, they're on the same level of a 3 year old child. They typically only get destructive if they're not getting enough stimulation. They need attention, and they need things to do. They also need to have toys to play with. You need to keep them on a schedule as to things like bedtime. When to get up, when to go to sleep. They have the same emotions as people. Happy, sad, afraid, angry, content, etc. So yes, they are definitely a handful. If you have a bird, they will eventually bite you from time to time. My conure bites everyone who isn't me. Yet she still bites me from time to time. With a macaw, they will bite from time to time, but sometimes it's a bit different for them. They're like a baby and experience the world through their mouths. Unless the bird is angry or scared (or just a mean bird), they usually don't bite hard enough to do real damage. But if they do bite with intent, they can remove body parts. Their bite is strong enough to pulverize bone, and their beaks are sharp enough to shred skin. So you could easily lose a finger under the circumstances at that moment.
    I don't know if I have mentioned it (probably have) but we used to have a blue throat. He hated men but was ok with women. Except me. He loved @Rain Dew and was unwilling to give her a moments peace. Blue throats are an endangered species with an estimated 300-500 left. We loved him, but when Covid hit we couldn't afford him anymore. So we had to let him go. It broke both our hearts.
