| Topic | Finally Watching Parks and Rec. Love this show. Spoilers |
| saspa 09/08/18 1:55:03 AM #18 | Well yeah, I mean if you're watching backwards that's quite a leap. The idea is to trudge through the first 6 episodes, which aren't even that bad, just more like the office (so if you like *that* kinda humor then yeah) and afterwards enjoy the rampant improvement in season 2, and then afterwards be blown away by just how great season 3 onwards becomes (I'm assuming, stopped at the beginning of season 5 after all) --- |
| Topic | What's a good excuse for when you're too tired to hang out with a friend tonight |
| saspa 09/07/18 1:34:59 PM #7 | Orthopox12 posted... Just tell them you dont feel like hanging out. And stress rescheduling. Not everything needs a made up excuse. Very true. I've done that. But he's also a bit of a... well, his feelings get hurt easy and he's extra sensitive at times. Sometimes I think, I don't want to lose him as a friend, other times I think I need to tell him that I don't like going out at night (nighttime is for sleeping) and that if he wants to hang out with me, we can do it during the day and that's it. Which he'll say no to. --- |
| Topic | What's a good excuse for when you're too tired to hang out with a friend tonight |
| saspa 09/07/18 1:30:16 PM #4 | Some more backstory: he's nocturnal, a nightowl, while I'm diurnal, a morning person. He likes to stay up all night, while I like to sleep early and wake up at 5-6 am. I can't remember how we became friends because we're polar opposites but we just are, it's one of those things out of movies/tv shows. Also he actually has a skin condition which is why he doesn't go out in the sun. I forget what it's called, it's the one that pale people get, photosensitivity or something, where exposure to sunlight can actually cause skin problems, which is part of why he's nocturnal. I however am as brown as dark chocolate (the 80% cocoa kind) and need sunlight near constantly. Sometimes I just marvel at how different we are but he's just a really sweet, good looking guy. --- |
| Topic | What's a good excuse for when you're too tired to hang out with a friend tonight |
| saspa 09/07/18 1:17:29 PM #1 | I just want to sleep at 8 pm, that's right 8 and wake up whenever I wake up, hopefully not for a good solid 10 hours. I like this guy but I don't want to hang out with him when I'm not even at 100% to deal with him. --- |

Everyone knows that there aren't any new users here on some niche board of a dying website, everyone here is the same 20-25 users. --- |

| Topic | *Buys 4 TB hdd* *Actually only 3.6 TB available* |
| saspa 09/07/18 4:03:09 AM #20 | Zikten posted... They should just make them bigger then they are advertised as. Use the extra space for the needed shit. And then when the extra shit is dealt with, your left with......the advertised amount Nah I can't expect them to do that, because then they wouldn't be screwing consumers. Actually I wonder if what they're doing is legally correct or if people can sue them? Technology is different, but I remember there was a case where people were measuring cereal from a certain company and all of it was less than the advertised amount by several grams, so if a cereal box purports to have 100 grams they measured and it was only 95, or less, with every single box. They apparently were able to make a case out of it and may have won. So it makes me wonder if this can hold true for storage space. --- |
| Topic | *Buys 4 TB hdd* *Actually only 3.6 TB available* |
| saspa 09/07/18 3:40:30 AM #17 | ^ ^ Not just that. I want to get an mri of those 2 users' brains; how is their thought process to post that and not to post it's 2018 and we're no closer to a petabyte hdd? I legit am wondering how their brain works. It's just... it's utterly bizarre. --- |
| Topic | *Buys 4 TB hdd* *Actually only 3.6 TB available* |
| saspa 09/07/18 3:22:31 AM #12 | The other day saw a fricking demo was 20+ GB. 20 freaking gb! Honestly I think that's insane, even regardless of the fact that I made a huge technological leap, having previously been comfortable with all my old stuff from mid 2000s era. It's just way too high, and storage space isn't keeping up, and I'm surprised it's not something the mainstream talk about. Of course they just automatically sync their data with the cloud and don't care about any of this so it's a moot point I suppose. --- |
| Topic | *Buys 4 TB hdd* *Actually only 3.6 TB available* |
| saspa 09/07/18 2:51:11 AM #7 | Yeah I think I heard something like that too. It's really annoying. I was already pretty surprised/annoyed that we haven't reached petabyte levels of hdd yet for purchase considering how we have all this super duper HDness and 4k and all that other mumbo jumbo. So just when I made my peace with that, now I am reminded that actual storage space is way less the more you purchase. Still can't believe there aren't 1 petabyte hdds yet. Or even 500 TB as a start. Hell I'll take 250 TB at this point. I mean my god are we really supposed to delete data and redownload it again? Like it was the 2000s? Like 10+ years haven't past? Sigh it's quite frustrating. --- |
| Topic | *Buys 4 TB hdd* *Actually only 3.6 TB available* |
| saspa 09/07/18 2:37:34 AM #1 | What the fucking fuck fuck. I mean come on companies, that's too much of a scam. I would accept as low as only 3.8 TB available, but half a terrabyte complete gone? That's nearly 500 GB that I could have put data on. What the hell do they need that 300-400 gigabytes for anyway? I mean it's too much of a ripoff. Anything less than 3.8 is not good, especially when we're talking terabytes here. --- |

| Topic | 11 photos from Captain Marvel and it's not just pics of her |
| saspa 09/05/18 4:15:45 PM #6 | I was ambivalent about how Kree looked in agents of shield. I wonder if Skrulls, which look super gross animated, will look like in live action form. Also the whole concept of Skrulls is terrifying so it will be interesting to see how they handle it, the skrull kree war, and possibly secret wars? --- |
| Topic | Metal Gear Solid was released 20 years ago on this day. |
| saspa 09/05/18 4:07:44 PM #34 | Wasn't gonna comment but Every Time I see this topic I think "how is the first one so good, so enjoyable, even as a non shooter fan, while the rest are hot steaming garbage?" I mean a game is truly special when you like it despite disliking the genre of gameplay it presents. Not so much the sneaking around which is fine (though of course clunky in comparison to the sequels) but the shooting (which is even worse and again improved in the sequels) But even with the sequels offering technically better gameplay, they're just a chore to play. From their story, to their nauseatingly long winded codecs, not to mention cutscenes that I debate skipping since I'm just checking my phone anyway (which I started to do by 3, having had enough of their blabbing) But MGS 1... there's just something about it. The soundtrack that everyone keeps posting, the codec conversations, the je ne sais quoi aspect of it all. Freaking Liquid Snake and that amazing voice, which we pretty much never got to hear ever again. The members of foxhound. It was just some really good stuff. And it's weird because mgs 1 was basically a remake of metal gear 2 which was a remake of metal gear. Kojima made the same game 3 times but I enjoyed every one of them. Then mgs 2 hit and even appreciating it on the meta level about video game sequel analysis, it just started getting weirder and less fun from there. MGS 1 really is a great game though. They never were able to capture that enjoyment feeling until mgr revengeance rising with raiden, which is ironic because kojima didn't even make it haha. --- |
| Topic | ... I have too many TV shows and movies to watch (let's not even get into games) |
| saspa 09/05/18 3:34:35 PM #1 | Before it may have been acceptable since that's all that was going to be occupying my time, but now that I have a life I don't know when I'm going to watch all these new shows and new seasons of shows, as well as older stuff I've put on the backburner for a later date that still hasn't come. We're talking hundreds of hours of footage. And that's just for media to watch. I may not have as many video games, but the games I do have might offer even longer time for me to sink into. I usually don't mind that at all, but there is a downside to watching something 3-5 years after everyone else has watched it and moved on, or playing something 7 years after everyone has already played it and discussed it. Sometimes you want to be able to join in the discussions. --- |
| Topic | How are the smartphones with the home button removed? |
| saspa 09/05/18 3:29:48 PM #7 | Maybe because I'm old(er) but they definitely suck and I can't understand people saying they don't miss them. It's incredibly annoying to need to swipe up every single time on my s9+ just to be able to then press on the home button, and with no physical button I can't open the phone quickly unless I click the power button which is not as conveniently places as a home button which you can press with your thumb while holding the phone (you have to "long press" now to open the phone and it's even worse than it sounds in practice, if possible) --- |

Don't get me wrong Chris and Ben are the greatest thing to happen to the show and I love them way more. But I still will never get the overwhelming frothing at the mouth that internet people do over Mark. I mean he's white bread sure, but I still chuckled here and there. Mostly when other characters play off him like Ron, Tom, and of course Andy. All very true. I mean after all he's a city planner, so he's not part of the parks and rec group. He's not really main cast material so much as recurring character material, like joe the sewage guy. --- |

None of the bands on the soundtrack were well known. No lady gaga, eminem, jay z, kanye west, one direction, beyonce, madonna, or any mainstream pop artist. --- |
| Topic | Is Legacy of kain worth playing today? |
| saspa 09/03/18 2:21:19 PM #21 | DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC posted... saspa posted...The first game Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is still my favorite because of its more action rpg elements combined with symphony of the night/zelda style top-down dungeon gameplay. It's the best one. And dat voice acting good god. Yeah, the only good puzzles were actually the boss battles with the other vampires. That was the most memorable thing gameplay wise. Also that's literally the best part of blood omen what are you even on about? I literally go to the menu and click on the items again and again just to hear Kain describe said items. Like the heart of darkness. Janus Audron. Squee that voice gives me goosebumps, I love listening to it. I don't understand not liking listening to it again and again. It's the best part. --- |
| Topic | How to enjoy indie music without a friend saying I told you so? |
| saspa 09/03/18 2:17:13 PM #1 | A friend listens to indie music in the car, and I was scoffing at it because indie music is not mainstream music. But now I'm kinda getting into some of the songs but don't want his gloating face of I told you so expression so what do? --- |
| Topic | Finally Watching Parks and Rec. Love this show. Spoilers |
| saspa 09/03/18 2:07:37 PM #7 | pegusus123456 posted... I think Mark gets a lot of hate because he was the straight man character (which is usually boring anyway) and was only part of the show when the show was relatively bad. Brendanawitz? More like Brandanaquits! Lol that always makes me laugh and I don't even care if it's stupid. But yeah that's fair, I get the association. --- |

| Topic | In local news, finally figured out why I feel bloated. It's the white rice. |
| saspa 09/03/18 1:14:09 PM #1 | I always feel bloated after lunch and we eat white rice 6 days a week. Tried different foods like chicken fajitas with brown tortillas. My stomach actually feels empty like I didn't just eat. Usually with white rice it feels like I can feel the food ballooning in my stomach. The white rice is cooked with a ton of corn oil so that's also a reason, it's not cooked healthily like how they do in Japan with the steaming or that other thing where they put it in water and then eat it directly, like some kinda porridge or some such. --- |
| Topic | Finally Watching Parks and Rec. Love this show. Spoilers |
| saspa 09/03/18 12:37:09 PM #1 | I stopped watching at the beginning of season 5 (no real reason, just waiting for the series to finish) and then 6 years of delays later I'm finally gonna finish it, but rewatching from the beginning of course. Lol the cop Leslie dates in the beginning of season 2 is Louis CK. Back then I wasn't really aware of stand up comedians so I'm eager to see who else I recognize as well as jokes I didn't pick up on the first time. Also I'll never understand the overwhelming hate for Mark Brandanowitz. Don't get me wrong Chris and Ben are the greatest thing to happen to the show and I love them way more. But I still will never get the overwhelming frothing at the mouth that internet people do over Mark. I mean he's white bread sure, but I still chuckled here and there. Mostly when other characters play off him like Ron, Tom, and of course Andy. Speaking of I don't dislike Tom anymore like I used to, and I can't wait when he gets even better in the later seasons. Ooh can't wait for Jean Ralphio. Overall I'm excited to finally marathon this show. Been a long time coming! --- |

| saspa 09/03/18 11:04:36 AM #18 | Isn't there a brightness setting? I always tend to play with high brightness settings on any game anyway, but that's just me. It's been a while since I played it but I remember making sure to listen to conversations to tell you where to go, like Nuprator's keep etc. --- |
| Topic | Boy the first Uncharted game sure is unfun |
| saspa 09/03/18 10:47:44 AM #9 | That's kind of a weird opinion because they're all basically the same. 2 does have more polish and more blockbustery setpieces than 1, which is all over the place (while being short at the same time) but otherwise they're not drastically different. The gun mechanics are probably worse, but I played on easy anyway since I just wanted to have fun. --- |

| Topic | Is Legacy of kain worth playing today? |
| saspa 09/03/18 10:13:18 AM #9 | The first game Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is still my favorite because of its more action rpg elements combined with symphony of the night/zelda style top-down dungeon gameplay. It's the best one. And dat voice acting good god. Soul Reaver is also good but ugly as sin, due to the ruined world. But still doesn't stop it from being ugly especially on ps1. It's more straight up action adventure and zelda-ish but like 85% of the puzzles are block pushing based which is what drags this game down. Also that voice acting, my god it's amazing, and tony jay is in it too. Soul Reaver 2 is the last good one worth playing. Beautiful, fun puzzles, and of course incredible voice acting. A little on the short side though. No comment on Blood Omen 2 and Defiance. --- |

I keep imagining this stupid movie with luke wilson and uma thurman every time I hear the name. On the other hand I do know better than to judge a show by its title after having watched Selfie (and most of ABC's shows) --- |

I do remember watching The Flash on an airplane a few years back and thinking "huh, I kinda like this. If it wasn't tied into that stupid arrow show's universe I'd probably give it a complete watch" . But Jane the Virgin so far is definitely likable. 17 episodes in and once I finish the first season I'll have an overall impression ready. --- |

| Topic | My phone does not last long in battery anymore |
| saspa 09/02/18 1:02:09 PM #10 | @Vol2tex Well I'm not the best person to ask since I made a huge jump from an s5 to s9+ . So naturally I hate it, since the lack of buttons or just a button is incredibly annoying. And I just can't seem to get rid of the vibration completely. Like when the phone is off and I hard press the area that's supposed to be the home button, it gives a slight vibration jolt and I fucking hate it. I hate any amount of vibration. I hate the edge screen design, it's stupid as hell. I hate the subtle changes compared to the old phone and how I keep having to google how to get everything exactly right the way I like it when it comes to smartphone screens. I just hate nearly everything about it. I'm something of a luddite, but only in terms of liking the simple things like browsing and watching youtube and whatsapping. The battery lasts longer but that's not really a testament to the phone so much as the fact that it's new. Same with the speed, it's not really a sign of the phone's quality so much since it's brand new compared to a sluggish 4 year old phone. Otherwise, I'm sure for people who are not me, they'd probably love all the extra doodads and gizmos the phone comes with, if you're into that sorta thing. --- |

| saspa 09/02/18 8:05:18 AM #4 | No, arkham knight was poop. Origins was really fun and just happened to be glitchy, but I didn't mind it since it didn't seem that bad on the ps3 and I had the complete edition with all the dlc so yeah felt good. Not sure what is there to say in "arkham origins 2" but I definitely would like more arkham games, as I personally don't get tired of these awesome games, even arkham knight didn't sour me on the experience, although it sure as heck tried with the story and the car's major gameplay role. --- |

I have this really obscure soundtrack that I want to use as a ringtone but short of recording it straight from the DS's crappy speakers, I don't think there is a way I can really get it online.

Soo far, my Note 8 is a year old and seems about the same. Hopefully this is true for other phones. Got me an S9+ . All I can say is we'll see. I really only impulse got it because it had 6 gb RAM which I thought was hilarious because it means that my tiny phone has more RAM than my giant pc. Let's see how well it does on the battery front (I'm not optimistic) --- |

| saspa 09/01/18 6:11:21 PM #6 | Zikten posted... Love is an Open Door is nice but it's tainted by the twist ending later that makes you look back on that scene differently The great songs throughout the movie are actually the very thing that betray the fact that Disney obviously didn't have a real script going while making the movie and kept making changes and revisions, hence them changing the villain of the movie and then planting their feet with their message of not being too trusting which just makes me roll my eyes considering the rest of the movie. It's just an excuse that worked in their favor with the twist and how people actually bought it. --- |
| Topic | Let it Go is the famous Frozen song, but I like Love is an Open Door way more. |
| saspa 09/01/18 6:06:19 PM #3 | But then again that whole movie soundtrack is great, though it's a shame what a waste of screen time and song the damn rock trolls was. Waste of precious minutes and their entire presence/song could have been cut for more development of the characters and maybe fine tuning the obviously gone-through-development hell-and-several-rewrites script. --- |
| Topic | Let it Go is the famous Frozen song, but I like Love is an Open Door way more. |
| saspa 09/01/18 6:00:40 PM #1 |  It's just so... catchy and upbeat and likable. I honestly don't know why the other one is that much more popular, but then again I don't really care for ice queens. I'm more into the boy x girl meet cute aspect of every disney movie, from once upon a dream in sleeping beauty to, like... the iconic a whole new world of aladdin. --- |
