why would you look forward to this

It's a joke. Because it's literally been the same story through the last 4 decades

There's literally a "throwback" station that plays nelly and juvenile - as if we actually should be missing that

I just don't like the Tales combat system at all - turn-based or bust, baby.

What the fuck

He's right

Also - I bought Diabo on PSX and played it for dozens upon dozens of hours, I bought Diablo 2 brand new - as well as its expansion, and I bought Diablo 3 the day it was released. I've played all 3 games extensively (save the Diablo 1 PC expansion) -- and Diablo 3 is literally just a better version of Diablo 2 in every single way. It has the same grinding itch - but it does away with permanent stat decisions that can be bad for novice players, makes it so you can respec your character whenever you want, added a much better balance between the classes, and gave you a toooooon more content and difficult content.

There really ISN'T any reason to play 1 or 2. 3 has everything they have and more.

Then you're playing the wrong genre

Diablo and Diablo 2 disagree.

Is this a joke?
Diablo 2 is all about ridiculous grinding to get crazy rune words, perfect item rolls, etc. just as much as 3 is.

I pictured Jay Sherman

Just the first Robocop film alone is better than the entire Terminator franchise, and Robocop 2 is better than probably the majority of Terminator films.

But Terminator would win in a fight probs.

Or rather the meat industry because they know it could kill their business.

Except it would never happen in our lifetime. Meat > vegetables in terms of taste/flavor.

Some meat substitutes taste better than the actual meat. Ex: chicken nuggets/tenders.
But for the most part the actual meat version tastes better than the mock meat - but you're fucking joking if you think that meat tastes better than vegetables.

I use this. It works great after 3 years still. Just make sure to take out any mr. tuffy tire liners or else the friction and heat will give you spontaneous flats.

As far as I know it came with its own quick release rear axle, in fact it had to because it was steel and there's more forces and stuff. That's relatively easy to swap out honestly.

As for what a quick release rear axle is, it's one of these.

Those help you take the wheel off the bike quickly. If they're designed for quick release, it means the attachment point can fit one of those nicely.

As for needing something to prop up your front wheel, you don't need one, you can just use a giant roll of duct tape like I do.

One of those basically.

Looking at your bike you have a fixed gear bike, so you might not be able to get the most out of a trainer, but it's something. For me changing gears on my bike also changes the resistance for me on a fluid trainer. It also appears that you don't have a quick release on your bike, so I'm not sure how you might be able to put it onto a trainer, but I think you should be able to. Also, I'd recommend clipless pedals because the upstroke while pedaling really helps you go faster and train other muscles too, BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARY, if you don't care about that stuff or you're trying to save money. If you're aiming to just move your feet then you're fine.

Thank you for the advice. I think I'd want something cheaper than that right now. Are the ones I'm seeing for under $100 probably not able to work with my bike?
I also have never seen one of those quick release rear axles before, lol. As for being a fixed gear - I'm pretty sure most of my friends always rode fixed gears, and they're the ones who I first ever heard talking about trainers. So there has to be a way, I guess? I can understand, though, how a fixed gear on a trainer would be less of a workout - since the workout from riding a fixed gear is mostly from having to manually pedal up hills/slow yourself riding downhill.

Ride in the winter. You don't need that garbage.

That's not the point. I don't live in area right now that's particularly good for biking, and I don't like going to the gym - even the 24 hour one in my apartment complex. I'd rather just ride my bike indoors while i'm watching tv or something - because it'd at least get me bike ready for when I want to ride outside, unlike an exercise bike.

why tf so many people get mad at vegans and vegetarians just for existing

"cause man, they're always harassing us and acting like they're better than us!" - addressing a vegan that they're currently harassing.

This is less cringy than most anime opening songs, tbh. Usually they're a guy trying way too hard over bad nu metal

I don't even know what 75% of those games are.
I'm getting Sword/Shield, and my gf wants the Mario/Sonic Olympic games.
I've never played any games under any of those other franchises.

I want to buy a trainer online. Today - if possible.
This is my bike:

I see some of the trainers specify they're designed for "quick release rear axle" (no idea what that means)
I also notice some of them come with something to prop up my front wheel and others don't. I have a carpet - so I don't know how much that's going to matter. I also want to know how easy it is to put one of these together

The points were the passive buffs and stat increases

Classist af. Very basic understanding of social interactions - particularly with the opposite sex. Like to talk about human attraction like we're wolves. No concept of counter culture. Hard libertarianism

Put NES at 3 and N64 at 11 and we are about the same.

I know putting NES so low is controversial - but even being a kid and growing up with it before SNES came out, the majority of the games were way too hard and not really enjoyable to me. I really always hated platformers, too.

In retrospect the only games I have VERY fond memories of are Dragon Warrior 3, Super Dodgeball, River City Ransom, Side Pocket, Tetris, and California Games. Even though I kinda liked Super Mario 2 + 3, Megaman 3 + 5, Battletoads, Street Fighter 2020, etc. - I sucked at platformers and they pissed me off more than anything.

This ranking is strictly games for that console that didn't exist in the US on older consoles. So this isn't a dumb "PS2 is better than PS1" argument (even though literally the only reason it's "better" is because of backward compatibility). In that argument Dreamcast is basically near-GOAT since you can emulate so much - but it's faaar from GOAT if you're judging it strictly by ITS games.
So some of these systems I have limited experience with, but I'm at least familiar with their flagship releases.

1. SNES
2. Nintendo DS
3. Switch
4. Gamecube
5. Gameboy Advance
6. Wii
7. Gameboy Color
8. N64
9. NES
10. Gameboy
11. Wii U
12. Virtual Boy

Do you have Amazon Prime? There are lots of good movies on Amazon Prime right now.

Yes Prime is also an option.

The Barn (2016) - if you like '80s pastiche. This is actually a great example of it.
Event Horizon (1997) - sci-fi horror film
Tales from the Darkside (1990) - the best anthology horror film, imo. unofficially "creepshow 3" to a lot of people
Society (1992) - kind of schlocky, but amazing practical effects. regarding the social elite literally "absorbing" the poor, without spoiling too too much.
The Church (1990) - great Italian horror film.
The Love Witch (2016) - '60s technicolor pastiche (how uncommon is THAT?); also kind of feminist, too
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986) - a great sequel for genre fans; much more tongue-in-cheek
Paperhouse (1989) - amazing children's horror film about a kid transporting into his drawings when he's asleep
High Tension (2005) - the onset of the new french extremity to most peoples' definition, although stuff like baby blood, the piano teacher, ma mere, etc. existed prior to this film.
Black Christmas (1974) - the first "slasher," and much more entertaining than stuff like Halloween imo, too.
Return of the Living Dead (1985) - more fun than the Romero trilogy, imo.
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (2016? Cause it's a remastered version) - contemporary classic. sleaze that actually garnered lots of critical acclaim. based around real serial killers
Return of the Living Dead 3 (1993) - underrated sequel only really loved by genre-fans. zombie love story! very '90s
Sleepaway Camp (1983) - better than Friday the 13th, imo.
Sleepaway Camp 2 (1988) - fun sequel if you're a genre-fan
House (1986) - schlocky haunted house movie that had a million sequels in the '80s/'90s.
Ghoulies 2 (1987) - I don't think Amazon Prime has the original. I know one of the other services does, though? A really fun sequel - but veeeery Full Moon pictures. corny, schlocky fun.
Eat (2014) - kind of low-budget, somewhat poorly made newer film about auto-cannibalism. about a struggling actress who becomes a masochist. kind of like a gory, more sleazy version of Starry Eyes. I love this movie, though, and think it's highly underappreciated.
Chopping Mall (1986) - fun, corny '80s movie about killer mall security robots.
Mirror Mirror (1990) - corny haunted mirror movie. super '90s with a manic gothic pixie crush actress in it.

Do you have Amazon Prime? There are lots of good movies on Amazon Prime right now.

They have an amazing selection of good films right now.
Everything below I'd recommend. Serious recommendations for typically non-horror fans in bold, genre-nerd recommendations in italics.

The only one on there I'd ever watch more than once is Nightmare on Elm Street

I have a DVD collection of them that my brother bought, but the DVDs don't work for some reason. When I was putting it back, I noticed the Alias DVD was next to it and started watching that again instead.

that's lame they didn't work!
1-4 are all totally worth watching.

Butter and milk in my mashed taters, precious

those are important, too - but the sour cream is arguably even more important than the butter or milk.

Good luck finding burrito-sized corn tortillas that don't disintegrate.

Flour is fine for burritos, but burritos are gringo crap.
If you want good Mexican you're getting soft tacos on corn tortillas
