    The Blackangel got a reaction from killamch89 in Has anything ever offended you in a game?   
    That is something that has boggled my mind ever since I first heard about it. You're playing a graphic war game, where the point of the game is to kill your enemy who is being played by someone else most likely. It is violent and blood is flying as your comrades die. That is fine with everyone, yet calling someone a wimp is over the line? You can kill with impunity, but you better make damn sure you don't call anyone a wimp.
    Yeah, makes perfect sense.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from ZandraJoi in What did you want to be when you were a kid?   
    Astronomy has always been a passion of mine. I absolutely love it. I have several seasons of The Universe on DVD and watch, and rewatch it constantly. I got a telescope last year that I'm still reading the instructions on, because I want to make sure I know everything REALLY well before I get it out, so that I don't screw it up. It was an $1800 telescope. And the powerpak to run it was another $200. The powerpak was an optional nonrequired thing. But when it's charged, I can run the telescope a lot longer. This is even powerful enough for me to see Andromeda and exoplanets as well.
    I'm dying to get it out, but need to feel comfortable knowing how to use it first. And with as dumb as I am, I may be wrinkled and gray before that happens.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from ZandraJoi in Do you speak a language from a TV show or movie?   
    Klingon is so damn big and popular among Trekkies, that there is actually a Klingon dictionary and other books that you can buy to learn it and become fluent in it. I've never been into Star Trek myself, but I do find it odd that a fake language has garnered such a fan base. I could be wrong on this next one, but I think the same thing has been done with the language from Avatar. I don't remember exactly what the language was called.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from killamch89 in Are you a thrill-seeker?   
    The word "thrill" is one of the few words that is completely open to interpretation. For me a thrill is a hike in the woods. Or sitting under a tree and listening to the sounds of nature with a light breeze blowing over me.
    But I see what you're question is asking, so I would say that some of the stunts I've done while snowboarding might count. Inverted corkscrews is one of the more dangerous. 1080's take a good amount of airtime, strength, and speed. Backflips are surprisingly simple. I've raced 4 wheelers. The pic below is mine and the kind I raced. I'm also a paranormal investigator, which can be rather heart pounding at times.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Family sedan in Are games ever going to be so photorealistic they're confused with real life?   
    Either way, I just hope not. Photorealism would only take away the reason of playing a video game. It's supposed to be an escape, not a tryout for the KC Chiefs, or entry into the Indy 500. It's supposed to teleport us somewhere that the most advanced weapons are swords and bows. It just removes all enjoyment to me. If it's going to do that, then it may as well all be moved strictly to competitions. It's no longer enjoyment anyway. Because by that time, they won't be worried about making a good entertaining game. They'll only be worried about the graphics of the shit game they're about to release.
    Photorealism will be the downfall of gaming.

    That’s not even all my games. I didn’t list PS2, 360, Game Cube, Wii, DS/3DS, or Game Gear. There’s a few other systems here that I don’t really play much anymore, but I can’t think of what they are at the moment. Anyway, from what I listed above, I have more Mario Kart games than anything else, so that would probably seem to be the obvious answer. But in all honesty, I kinda like F-Zero a lot. Pole Position is a lot of fun too. Grand Prix and Indy 500 have always been a great time.

    In Florida Desantis has flat out made mask mandates illegal. He has threatened to withdraw federal funding from any school district that opposes the law and mandates masks anyway. And any town that mandates masks is going to get fined more then the town can afford. Also he's the front runner, ahead of Adolf Jr even, for the radical right bid for the house and then the White House. If he gets any seat higher than Florida's governor, the entire country is 100% fucked. I don't give a shit what party he is or claims to be, his bullshit on Covid and masks will kill us all. Florida is already at maximum capacity in hospitals again, many of the sick being children. They're experiencing an average of 58 Covid related deaths per day. PER. FUCKING. DAY. This is a man who isn't even qualified to run a lemonade stand, let alone an entire state. Especially one that is also a popular tourist destination.

    The Blackangel reacted to Reality vs Adventure in 52 House democrats from Texas have arrest warrants for leaving state to protest voting restriction bill   
    Please, show us all proof of election fraud. Show me where there is a lack of volunteers to keep polling locations open. Oh, you mean death threats that republicans constantly send to election workers? You are completely delusional if you think they get rid of polling places because of a lack of volunteers. That is a new one. Your ass must hurt from pulling that load out of it. Let's be specific with Texas now. The state has some major cities with Houston the 4th largest in the country. To decrease the number of polling sites because there aren't enough volunteers is either a blatant lie or an ignorant fib. You are religious right? Pray to your god on what he thinks is right about our situation in politics. Ask sincere heartfelt questions about if what you support is morally right. Pay attention to his answers. Just pray on it is all I can say. Hopefully one day we can see eye to eye. Ask God for wisdom. Pray with all you are. Don't pay attention to anybody for a little while. Just pay attention to your inner self and God. An honest prayer could actually save this country. I have found a link in Harris county which is the Houston area and how the polling sites are divided and who got more sites and who got a decreased number of sites. Explain to me why Republican districts that are dominantly white got increased polling sites, and democratic districts with diverse ethnicity got decreased polling sites.

    The Blackangel reacted to Lämmchen in 52 House democrats from Texas have arrest warrants for leaving state to protest voting restriction bill   
    I'm glad the bill passed. For those who insist there was NO election fraud at all haven't been paying attention. There WAS election fraud, just not as extreme as some people say. But there is documented election fraud from the 2020 election...it's just that CNN doesn't want to air it.
    Increasing polling places means needing volunteers to run it. There is a lack of volunteers all over to keep polling locations open and we need to encourage the Millennials to start volunteering more to work the polls. No one is prohibiting voters from voting. Wanting secure elections is not prohibiting people from voting...unless they are illegals who shouldn't be voting. Or people who want to vote multiple times.

    I'm not an American and don't live in America, so this is not coming from a political bias, just from an observers perspective.
     
    I wonder if you would still be saying there was election fraud if Trump had won. Somehow, I doubt it even though the election happened under same conditions. Do even have the slightest idea just how unprofessional, disrespectful and flat out childish that narrative is? It is literally a spoiled brat whining and moaning because he didn't get his way. This would be completely ridiculous if, for example, a perspective prom queen threw a hissy fit because somebody else won the crown, so how much more ridiculous is it when Trump and his supporters are behaving this way over an election? Given they way that Trump and his supporters have behaved since they lost the election as grown men and woman, frankly they should be embarrassed. And you, the one pushing this narrative, have the balls to have dig at millennials over this? Like it's younger peoples fault when it's Trump and his supports behaving like spoiled brats? I wish that you could see just how ridiculous this looks.

    Depends, In general, beach all the way. The sand, the surf, the waves. Being not far from the ocean makes me feel cool with the air, 10mins drive away in fact. However, being a native also, near the Yorkshire moors, also I can't swim anyway. If swimming is in the cards, my pansy ass is choosing pool 9/10 times.

    I get it often. Typically it's a lyric or two, and I can't for the life of me figure out what song the lyric is from. But often I'll be doing something and a song will start playing in my head and won't leave no matter what I do. There was a day a couple weeks ago that I had to watch a 5 minute YouTube video more than 20 times, because the god damn song wouldn't shut the fuck up and kept me so distracted that I never could see the god damn video.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Withywarlock in Autistic kid gets into trouble for repeating lines from Red Dead Redemption   
    The child would be so mercilessly bullied and tortured for his autism, that I would have to wonder if he even would make it out of there alive. Those places are no joke. They're as bad as prisons that adult offenders are in, but just with a younger demographic. If he has to be incarcerated, put him in a hospital institute. A place where he would have a chance of being treated with some level of kindness. But in them you're ignored and left to your own to pass the time. The most severe thing he could possibly deserve would be maybe being grounded and having to give up RDR. At least give it up for a little while unless his parents decided to take the game away permanently. But at this point it would be a moot point to take it permanently.
    But all in all, he needs a talking to. Not a felony charge, and not incarceration. If his parents are having difficulty finding the right words, there are counselors that are trained in these areas.
