I was listening to dark side of the moon at 10 and having my mind blown

Yeah my first time listening to the whole album in one sitting was during a long night drive. It's a great album for that.

Outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg, the rest of Russia is like a third world country. Russia has way less to loose in a full on nuclear war. In a way, he would be bringing the rest of the world down to his level.

Call me cynical, but I totally think he would do it. Im just hoping he and his inner circle get assassinated before then.

That photoshop job on "Vulcan" Biden is what made us laugh the most. I just had to get a picture of this thing before I tossed it in the trash.

Look at what I got in the mail. At least Kemp isn't trying to be president of a New World Order!

Russia is lying to it's country about "de-Nazifying" a friendly, democratic country. Putin has brainwashed his people similar to North Korea and Iran. That's propaganda.

Ukrain is putting a positive spin on news reports and using disinformation to confuse the Orcish invaders in an attempt to win a defensive war. Is that also propaganda?

Can we really compare the two?

I just don't understand how we can have a conflict like this where there couldnt be any more of a stark divide between the "good guys" and the "evil empire" and you still have shills saying we need to sympathize with Russia. "But, but, BOTH sides spread propaganda!!". Fuck off with that.

We all know why they invaded, and they range from kidnapping Ukrainians to bolster their falling birthrate, conquering resource-rich land, and trying to weaken the evil "West". The same West that rich Oligarchs love to trade with, go on vacation, and send their kids to school to.

I barely notice gas prices now that they are shutting down my Wife's office and she can work from home full time.

Now, almost all our driving is just taking the kids to school and running to the store 5 miles down the road. We could probably downsize to one car, actually.

If you live close to one that's a great deal. A cup of hot coffee at Dunkin and Starbucks is over $3 now.

I'm glad my HOA saw this coming and took action quick. We updated the neighborhood covenants so you can't rent your house unless you live in it for at least a year. Also, we capped the number of houses that can be rented.

It is. Apparently, he started a singing career before he got into acting. I believe he and Frankie Valli were friends, also.

And what about Leonard Nemoy? I had no idea that record existed. His singing sort of reminds me a very lifeless and flat David Bowie.

Oh yeah, I have this album. People who write off Captain Beefheart after hearing "Trout Mask Replica" need to hear this debut album of theirs. It's basic blues rock with an eccentric twist. If it wasn't so weird it might of had some commercial success. And compared to a lot of 60s music, it isn't *that* weird. Some catchy songs on that record. Yellow Brick Road, Abba Zabba, Plastic Factory, Zig Zag Wonderer...

Imagine buying this and switching it out with a Beatles or Beach Boys album on your turntable in 1969.

It would probably take me months to get good enough to 100% F-Zero X.

And that's just one of the 300+ games.

Oh yeah, I forgot Kreese did that. Have fun catching up.

My Wife is huge on Outlander. She's read all the books too.

I think the first few seasons are on Netflix but it's a Starz show.

I dunno about train qualifications but keep in mind that these companies are understaffed for a reason. Its always $$$, but the specific reasons are either they choose to operate with a skeleton crew, or refuse to pay a decent salary and cant attract new staff, or dont provide the training

You know, that sounds like my job, and I make like 45-50K and I barely feel like I'm challenged since I've worked there so long.

My Wife makes 100K sitting at her computer desk working on IT cases in her queue and special projects with hours of conference calls in between. If I made 60-80K driving a Train and seeing the country I would be so much happier than her, I just know it.

I've always dreamed of working on the railroad since I was a little kid. Maybe I should look into it if they are that short on staff. I have a Bachelors (2.5ish GPA, don't judge) and a ton of warehouse experience. I could do it, right?

Do we know for sure yet if the new Symphonia re-re-rerelease is finally going to be up to the GameCube standard of 60fps battles? They said "enahanced graphics" on the Nintendo Direct.

Do you guys remember the outcry when even the Steam version was hard coded for 30 fps on both the battles and world map? (albeit at 4K resolution).

I agree with you but I'll add that the average person also probably doesn't realize being the Queen was probably more like being in prison. What's a "golden ticket for life" if you can't do what you want and have to maintain a certain image to the world?

I'm just wondering why it's a seasonal job. Death should be statistically even all throughout the year.

I was on LUE back in the early 2000s and lost my access after the incident.

It's definitely changed but it will stay around forever. I occasionally go to my local swap shop and buy an old NES game and this if the first place I'll come to for tips and guides. Sometime I'll find people on the game's message boards who are still active, even if it's an oddball game from 30 years ago.

Binding of Isaac might have the most replay value of the games you mentioned, but after all the post-post-post game DLC it might be intimidating for a newcomer.

I've never played Dead Cells but I've TRIED so hard to like DD and I've gotten frustrated so many times. The game trolls you, I got my ass handed to me by a miniboss that randomly spawns if you let your torch get too low.. It killed my A team so I just rage quit and I haven't touched the game since.

I'm not going to read that article because it will depress me, but it's crazy how often it's the father, stepfather, or mommy's boyfriend whenever a baby or toddler dies.

The cops don't even need to work hard, they automatically have a #1 suspect and it's almost just a procedural thing to connect the dots.

He's like the American version of "Mr. Bean", (except he talks a lot).

When I was a kid my favorite was "Earnest goes to Jail" with "Scared Stupid" second.

I had some Singapore curry rice noodles today. My local restaurant puts pork, chicken, and shrimp in it. It's $15 but I usually get 3 meals with the leftovers!

We are getting a Raising Cane's in my town... Of course it's right next to the mall at one of the busiest intersections where a Brewster's went out of business. It might be a while until I check it out since I'm sure it will be packed for weeks.

Has anyone tried Bojangles new chicken sandwich? I've seen billboards of it and it looks like they are trying to take on Popeyes.

Which should be totally fine. The point is equality and consent. Anyone should be free to choose whatever they want so long as it hurts no one else.

My wife is pretty progressive but it's weird how those "traditional gender" roles just fall in to place sometimes. Is it cultural or maybe just random chance? For example, I *always* drive when we take a family trip or even a quick run to the store. She does all the laundry because I space out and fumble around with all the different clothes piled up on the couch. I kill all the bugs and she screams at all the bugs. I do the yard work, she takes care of the kids and the dogs. I fix things around the house including changing furnace filters, light bulbs, hanging pictures, installing new light fixtures, etc.... She takes care of the finances including doing our taxes and managing the family checking account.

One thing I do is take care of the kitchen. Traditionally, people associate that with a "woman's role", but I don't think that's the case anymore. Men are chefs and masters of the grill all the time these days.

It's easy... but when I was playing it I felt like the combat wasn't really the point of the game. It was more about exploring, trying new things, and just enjoying the crazy and interesting world. The art direction, story telling, and music are all top tier.

My only gripe was that the whole mana system where different artifacts change the levels of mana is overly complex and not explained very well. However, you can pretty much ignore it and the game will unfold differently every time. You can try to min/max the placement of the artifacts to get EVERY side quest but whatever.

Marcos has had the same kind of thing for years... Its for people who are doing low carb or gluten free diets. My wife has ordered them a few times.

One of my coworkers was a Store Manager that rode the Blockbuster train all the way to the end. He tears up when he tells the story of handing the keys to the building to the contractors right before they started tearing it down.

I know it's not exclusive to the Switch but I've been playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 NONSTOP for the past several weeks. Such an addicting game, and I'm definitely late to the party on the whole DQ builders series. The Switch has a ton of good RPGS! Three Houses is worth putting some time into, it definitely is an acquired taste but the game has a ton of replayability.

I'm also looking forward to the new Dragon Quest Treasures game, which is exclusive and is coming out in a few months.

Breed dogs.

Did one litter this summer and made about $10K.

What took so long

This is why I've been playing more NES lately. The SNES library has a huge disparity in quality games. You have maybe 20-30 masterpieces and maybe 100 decent, fun games. After that, it's all shovelware and sports titles.

You could probably say the same about the NES but I'm always picking up carts at my local vintage game store and finding fun little games. I just bought Wall Street Kid last weekend and had fun figuring it out. I also picked up Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and I can't wait to play it and see how bad it really is.

Here's my Stinger GT. I got it tinted a few weeks ago and I'm probably going to KDM badging but that's all I want to do to it.

there was a season 1?

Yep, it premiered earlier in the year and season 2 was announced to be coming soon after.

This is rated Y-7?

Anyway... it's better than the first season. But it sucks that you can binge watch it and be done in a few hours.

Squiers are legit for a beginner instrument. Just make sure you have someone set it up for you.

This... Squires are fine. My concern is the amp. Those little combo amps you get in the cheap bundles sound so horrible.

I have a Warwick fretless, a Yamaha, and my Wife has a Stingray 5 string. I play through a Gallien-Krueger 400RB going through a SWR Goliath Jr. cabinet.

I don't play in a band anymore so I downsized everything.

How many other bands have a frontman that moonlights as a commercial pilot and flies their own jumbo jet around for their world tours?

Damm. Is it the same for Battle of Olympus?

This is why I have a physical NES with a CRT tv... Lots of those good games are still less than $15. Batman, Guardian Legend, Battle of Olympus, Willow, etc..

My local store has a copy of Batman:Return of the joker but it's $100. It's one of the few NES games that's expensive and good. Thinking about trading in some GC and Wii games for it

stuff like this just reinforces my belief that bartenders are tipped way too much. sorry, but they don't deserve a $2 tip for twisting the cap off of a Bud Light, or pouring a beer from the tap.

A $1 a beer and you're in the clear has always been my philosophy. I'll tip a little extra if I've been taking up a bar stool for a while.

This game is awesome. If it's shitty, so was a lot of stuff. We didn't beat all the games we owned, so I was fine playing until level 3. Everyone was impressed if u beat the damn.

It really was okay not to beat a game.

But not anymore, which is why I have to beat it.

Just make sure you have Raphael stockpiled with scrolls, and only bring him out for a boss or challenging section like in the technodrome.

Great (but flawed) game. I saw that video last week and it was fascinating that the author provides game genie codes to alter the swimming mechanics to make it easier.

He even has several codes that, when combined, changes the hitbboxes of the turtles to make the seaweed section more manageable.

I mean, if you know where the bombs are it's not hard anyway. This game rapidly scales up in challenge *after* the dam, like everyone's saying.
