| Topic | My husband has been much better |
| BlazinBlue88 03/07/21 2:36:46 PM #14 | That's wonderful Cleo. Hopefully he keeps at this pace of helpfulness and doesn't fall back into old ways. I assume you're letting him know how much this extra effort on his part means to you. Maybe that way he'll continue being mindful of these things. My wife and I always make it a point to praise each other for things even if it's something that's expected of us. I always thank her for the meals she makes us and she always thanks me for the cleaning/mopping around the house. That way we know the other isn't take the little every day things for granted. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 03/05/21 1:47:04 AM #197 | MabusIncarnate posted... I could see that for sure. For some reason one of my favorite go-to games when drinking was Rory golf, or NHL online games. I'd get up the next day and see my record is like 7 wins better and didn't remember playing them.I did really enjoy Sleeping Dogs. It's what a Chinese GTA should have been. Yakuza has always been about showing off the city and how it evolves from game to game. It's a small, dense map with tons to explore. I love how in depth it gets with its mini games. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 03/05/21 12:15:31 AM #193 | MabusIncarnate posted... I started Yakuza 0 last night. I thought the phone booth was the only way to save in this one, but if there's a menu option i'm gonna feel dumb. I guess I just assume and rely on auto save in most games anymore I really don't manual save anymore unless I feel like there's a turning point I might want to go back to.I've only played 0-4 and some of them rely on phone booths and others let you save anytime through the pause menu. I'm not sure which does which. MabusIncarnate posted... Guys there's a CRANE GAME in Yakuza where the fuck was I when I was drinking i'd play this shit for hours.I do enjoy the crane game. I know this isn't something you want to hear but the Yakuza series is my favorite game to play drunk. Perfect level of simple but complicated gameplay. --- |

Learned the hard way Yakuza has no auto save, lost a good 2 hours of progress, nice.Yeah and some of the older games require you to visit phone booths to save. Thankfully the newer ones allow you to save anywhere. Which one are you playing? --- |

Also how do you find out what your damn gf's ring finger size is witthout spilling beans and puke everyere?Tattoo a ring on your finger? I know several guys that did that cause the work in a factory and can't wear their wedding ring. Honestly my ring doesn't me. I got used to it really quick and now I feel naked if I leave the house without it like my watch. Also you could always snatch one of her rings when she isn't looking. Another thought is to go pick out rings together. That's what my wife and I did. But there also wasn't a proposal with us. We just decided together to get married. --- |
| Topic | Antifar's official thoughts on Yakuza Kiwami |
| BlazinBlue88 03/03/21 11:19:05 AM #17 | If I remember correctly, the whole Majima Everywhere thing wasn't in the original. Doe posted... I finished Y0 a bit ago and started Kiwami. And honestly, there is more chemistry between Kiryu/Nishiki/Mama and interiority of Kiryu's personality and humanity in the first ten minutes than there is in the entirety of Yakuza 0. Kiryu and Nishiki's relationship didn't feel lived out at all in 0. Closest they got was baseball and buying the suit. Kiryu was always pushing Nishiki away and I get why but it clearly hurt Nishiki so bad. Nishiki barely smiles one time in that game.Agreed. I felt like Kiryu's personality took a backseat in Y0 cause they were so focused on Majima. --- |

DarkRoast posted... The biggest irony of the BD/HD-DVD format wars is that in the end - none of it mattered, because within a decade people were ready to ditch physical media itself.Good point. I remember the VHS/DVD thing lasting a while but BD/HD-DVD was over in an instant. --- |

And I learned what morse code was. It sucked but I can't say every single thing about it sucked.Yeah. That's cool you learned those two things just from one meeting though. We didn't normally do more than one lesson per meeting. Granted we were a very small (~8-10) member troop. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 03/02/21 1:03:29 PM #37 | JACKBUTTMOMMY posted... Thats not really true. They need all the help they can get. A background check is part of the process. Maybe becoming scoutmaster or assistant scoutmaster wouldnt happen over someone who does have a son in the troop, but you could still be a member and have a role.That's interesting. I might end up looking into it then. I was also an Assistant Scout master for a few years in my old troop once turning 18/getting Eagle so that would help in my favor. --- |

Then the instructor made fun of me and called me a frog because I was the only french guy in the group.That's really fucked up and I'm sorry that was your experience. Local troops have a lot of freedom in how they run their meetings. I've seen several bad troops like that but the number of good troops out there outweigh them considerably. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 03/02/21 11:48:32 AM #21 | Drpooplol posted... I'm so, so disappointed in the organization in allowing this all to happen. I was in the Boy Scouts growing up, and it was an incredible experience for me. The leaders we had are some of the best men I have ever met. I feel a lot of shame that so many children were hurt by the organization that was so beloved to me.I feel the same. I've thought about becoming an assistant scoutmaster again but it wouldn't fly unless you either grew up in that troop or had a kid in the troop. Just a random adult male attempting to become a leader would throw some red flags. Having a kid is probably the only way I'll be able to experience Philmont again. Though by the time they'd be of age, the BSA or Philmont might no longer exist. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 02/26/21 7:06:48 AM #12 | @MabusIncarnate when I played BotW on Switch, a lot of motion controls were turned on by default and they were so wonky they drove me crazy in some shrines. I actually turned them off in the options menu and my life got exponentially better. Also Ni Nu Kuni is a solid game. It took me a while to get used to the battle system but ended up really enjoying it. The story is great but the acting from the main characters are flat and awful. The art style was one of the main selling points when it came out cause they were done by Studio Ghibli. They're the anime studio that made Spirited Away and tons other anime movies that are highly regarded. Disney does own the rights to sell their movies in the US so you weren't too far off. --- |

Alright, called Optimum up again, told them the situation, that I've confirmed there's no issue with my equipment, and the guy said he would need to update something on their end since I'm using my own modem and router.Considering you're using your own equipment, expect 95% of the time they'll just blame your equipment and refuse to help you. I'm in IT so I'm able to do enough troubleshooting before hand so they don't question much when I call them. Also thankfully Verizon now lets you purchase their routers to own so I can have their equipment but not pay the rental fee. --- |

| BlazinBlue88 02/24/21 2:34:53 PM #6 | That really sucks Cleo but at least he's taking care of a number of other things. I was expecting to read how he's too busy sitting around not accomplishing anything. I'm sure pre-pregnancy, responsibility was eventually divided but he certainly should take on more during these 9 months. I don't even understand the laundry issue considering how simple it is to do. My wife and I have our set of normal responsibilities but when one is sick or whatever, the responsibilities shift more towards the healthy person. --- |

LostForest posted... So now an Optimum tech came this morning, pokes around the utility closet, and tells us "Ooh, you guys should upgrade your speed." And said that with 20-30mbps, we shouldn't be able to stream video or play games period.Yeah this is complete BS. That more than enough for gaming and streaming(you can do those things with 10mbps). That tech had no idea what was wrong so he said to just throw more mbps at the issue. Also I've never heard of a modem or router power cycling itself because there was no internet connection. Considering your replacement also did the same thing, don't rule out an electrical issue with the outlet. Try moving the equipment somewhere else in the apartment and test. --- |

A couple weeks ago he said he would give an important announcement, which of course led to speculation about new projects. The actual announcement was that he had been planning to take a break from the weather reports, but he saw all the positive comments he was getting and it convinced him to keep doing the weather reports.That's wonderful. --- |
