Topic | Disney's Encanto (now available on Disney +) (spoilers) |
Uglyface2 01/01/22 3:27:51 PM #18 | Its fun, not extraordinary. My niece loves it, probably because its new. She saw it several times in theaters and watches it on Disney+. |
Topic | Bi-yearly that only bad people use fireworks at home. |
Uglyface2 01/01/22 12:50:17 AM #33 | ChichiriMuyo posted... While I was driving home tonight someone shot off a firework and it went off right above my car. Many people who use personal fireworks are just assholes. BTW, this same asshole in my neighborhood stockpiles the things and sets them off at seemingly random times all year long. Not just holidays, not even just weekends. He'll fire the things off on weekdays with no regard to people who have to get up the next morning. I hope he burns his own house down. I'm told that's what happened to a certain young gentleman who had behaved inappropriately towards my oldest niece. No sympathy for him or his family. |

Uglyface2 01/01/22 12:02:57 AM #28 | Happy New Year to the lot of you. |
Topic | Tales of... |
Uglyface2 12/31/21 12:10:59 AM #57 | ...the Unexpected. There's a reference to it in Red Dwarf, and that's how I came to know of its existence. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075592/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 |
Topic | Do you ever wince at the sight or memory of a particular game? |
Uglyface2 12/30/21 9:38:47 PM #1 | Has a game ever displeased you badly enough that you recoil at the thought of it?
Vote
I was going through some of the game sales, and I caught sight of a couple of games that I truly did not enjoy. I had an internal gut reaction to them, as though the experience had caused me harm at some point. That's obviously an overreaction, but I was wondering if it happened to any of you. |
Topic | Best Day of the Week Day 5 |
Uglyface2 12/30/21 5:58:26 PM #9 | Thursday is the worst day. You've been working for three days, you have to get through Thursday, and you still have Friday ahead of you so it's not like you can sleep in. (Well, this week I can, I get Friday off because New Year's is Saturday, but most of the time.) |
Topic | Almost just died |
Uglyface2 12/27/21 10:43:24 PM #24 | I'm glad you caught an incredibly lucky break with this. |
Topic | Did any of you here attend chirstmas religious services? |
Uglyface2 12/25/21 5:34:11 PM #4 | No. I wanted to, sort of, but I slept late and missed it. |
Topic | COVID shots in demand again, it seems |
Uglyface2 12/23/21 11:13:40 PM #1 | I finally thought to schedule my COVID booster shot today, and come to find out that there aren't any openings through my provider (regional hospital system) until late January. For my part, I can't schedule anything that far in advance because of a mix of unrelated health concerns and our HR portal's limitations. I guess people are scared of this new variety. |
Topic | PSA: Tons of great Altus 3DS games on super sale right now. |
Uglyface2 12/23/21 9:25:16 PM #24 | It's so hard to go back to the 3DS, even though I kind of want to play some of those games. |
Topic | Best Mel Brooks Movie Day 7 |
Uglyface2 12/21/21 9:06:22 PM #7 | Isquen posted... I actually found Dracula boring beyond the coffin blood shower. The only part I liked was, |
Topic | Have you gone to the movie theater since the pandemic began? |
Uglyface2 12/21/21 8:24:40 PM #8 | At least a couple of times. One was for the RiffTrax riff of Hobgoblins, another was for Rob's Gone Wrong (or whatever it was called), and another was for The Adams Family 2 (my niece wanted to see it). |
Topic | Which of these indie games am I missing out on most? |
Uglyface2 12/20/21 9:29:23 PM #30 | andylt posted... Subnautica ran out of steam for me lategame but it holds its magic for a long time before then (haven't played Sub Zero yet, don't know if that's a better one to play or not). Not really. It's a smaller map (I'm told, I didn't play the two back-to-back), and it's more talky than the first game. I couldn't finish either game because I couldn't figure out which crevasse I needed to dive into to continue progression. |
Topic | BABE BRAWL: Dove Cameron (c) vs. Tia Blanco (Please NOMINATE!) |
Uglyface2 12/20/21 4:46:52 PM #2 | 4 to 11. |
Topic | Best Mel Brooks Movie Day 4 |
Uglyface2 12/19/21 9:26:52 PM #7 | I'm surprised by how few of Mel Brooks' films I've seen. I really need to do something about Young Frankenstein. |
Topic | Are you still on Facebook? |
Uglyface2 12/18/21 11:44:25 AM #2 | Oh, look at that. Part of my poll got cut off. |

Uglyface2 12/18/21 11:43:41 AM #1 | Well?

Im closing my Facebook account tonight (I want the people I spoke to to know Im leaving and Im leaving a message up for a day). Im just wondering about the rest of you. |
Topic | You think you'll ever get married? |
Uglyface2 12/16/21 9:20:36 PM #5 | The ladies generally didn't go for me and got upset when I asked them out. There was one who was interested but who I wasn't interested in and a couple of others I probably missed out on dating, but other than that I can't even get anyone to go for a coffee date, let alone marry. |
Topic | Settle a twenty year old argument. |
Uglyface2 12/16/21 9:15:10 PM #25 | It was unconventional and likely unappetizing, but far from "gross and horrible". |
Topic | What's, in retrospect, the silliest reason you've given up playing a game? |
Uglyface2 12/14/21 9:57:18 PM #83 | Kenri posted... IIRC there's a trick to it, like you have to run the bandage significantly further than it looks like. Or maybe you were forgetting to sterilize the area first. idk it's been years but I know lots of people found it tricky There was another game on the DS that was even worse about it. You were a cop assigned to internal affairs, and you needed to lift a fingerprint off of a gun, but the print was wrapped around the grip at an odd angle and I could never get the print off the gun. |
Topic | Do you have a ps5 yet? |
Uglyface2 12/14/21 9:49:53 PM #41 | Also worth pointing out that you might get in sooner than the site tells you. During my attempt (using mobile), it said it would be over an hour. I checked sixteen minutes later and got in. EDIT: UT1999 posted... i thought the sony direct one was where they e-mail you if you were selected or not and you didn't have to go to a website at a certain time No, the email tells you whether or not you can get in line. You do need to go to the website at a specified time. You can do it on a cell phone like I did, if needed. |
Topic | Oh god in cable company hell. |
Uglyface2 12/14/21 8:52:01 PM #7 | "Oh god in cable company hell." Was that the unreleased George Burns vehicle? |
Topic | Do you have a ps5 yet? |
Uglyface2 12/14/21 8:49:55 PM #20 | Seanchan posted... I guess Sony wins this round; they got me to buy a new console I don't really need. I've got a Series S. Once you get used to faster load times, it's hard to go back. |
Topic | Do you have a ps5 yet? |
Uglyface2 12/14/21 8:45:18 PM #12 | UT1999 posted... where did you get yours from? i was looking for one PS Direct. They sent me an invitation from the last round of sign-ups, and I got lucky. |
Topic | Do you have a ps5 yet? |
Uglyface2 12/14/21 8:29:07 PM #2 | I just got one. It doesn't want to connect to my WiFi (console is close to the router and there's nowhere else to put either of them), so I'm going to have to buy an ethernet cable. |
Topic | Who's your favorite Supreme Court justice? |
Uglyface2 12/13/21 9:29:56 PM #9 | Learned Hand. He made some awful decisions, but that's just a cool name for a judge. |
Topic | Waiting for pac |
Uglyface2 12/13/21 2:11:22 PM #6 | It got here at around 1:50. I think Ill take a nap. |
Topic | Waiting for pac |
Uglyface2 12/13/21 1:35:40 PM #4 | Im a disappointment to everyone, not just you. |
Topic | Why do the most popular baby names sound like they are from The Regency? |
Uglyface2 12/13/21 12:48:46 PM #9 | I have two nieces and two nephews with names on those lists, right down to the spelling. |
Topic | Waiting for pac |
Uglyface2 12/13/21 12:35:30 PM #2 | Im also displeased that Gamefaqs cut off part of the subject title. Mobile, I guess. |
Topic | Waiting for pac |
Uglyface2 12/13/21 12:33:45 PM #1 | Im waiting for UPS to deliver a couple of packages that require signatures. The app says that the truck with the packages left just before 8 am, and helpfully informs me that it should arrive before 7 pm. Im not well pleased that I have to sit by my apartment buildings front door and wait so that I can catch a delivery driver whod otherwise leave a slip stating that theyll leave another slip tomorrow when they miss me again. |
Topic | Jeopardy champ |
Uglyface2 12/11/21 11:59:48 AM #1 | Jeopardy is doing a special tournament right now, but for those unaware the main champion (when the normal show returns) is a trans-woman named Amy. Shes the first transgendered person to make the Tournament of Champions (shes won enough games), and shes damn good. I dont know if any of you could use a hero like Amy to root for, but she should be returning starting week after next. |

Uglyface2 12/10/21 7:51:09 PM #5 | Something about fairies or elves. |
Topic | Do you have health insurance? |
Uglyface2 12/10/21 5:15:23 PM #16 | ShatteredElysium posted... I have it subsidized through work (I pay like $60 every 2 weeks) but the plan isn't great. it would have been like an extra $200 every 2 weeks to add my wife to the plan and it worked out better just getting a private plan for her as she got better coverage than the plan I get at work. That sounds like a sweet deal. I'm paying $87 every 2 weeks, I have a high deductible, and if I had a spouse or kids the premium would go much higher. Better still, our premiums are going to skyrocket next year. I was pretty much forced to downgrade so I can pay the same amount for an even higher deductible at the same rate I've been paying (which would have been higher except that I get a discounted rate for getting the COVID shot). |
Topic | My brother committed suicide and passed last night. |
Uglyface2 12/10/21 5:11:37 PM #27 | I'm sorry for your loss. |
Topic | Ever been door-to-door Christmas caroling? |
Uglyface2 12/09/21 9:35:51 PM #3 | It was a long, long time ago. My uncle and my grandmother dragged me and a couple of other kids out. I don't remember much about it, except that at first I was embarrassed to sing and then I sang a song by myself. Anyway. |
Topic | Finally got a PS Direct invite |
Uglyface2 12/09/21 5:27:51 PM #2 | If everything went according to plan, then I've lined up a PS5 and a controller charging station. I went through the checkout process and I have a receipt, but I remember some of you saying that's no guarantee that you're actually going to get one because some of your orders were cancelled later. When can I start celebrating? Is this something where I'll have to wait until they tell me it's been shipped before I'm sure? |
Topic | What's, in retrospect, the silliest reason you've given up playing a game? |
Uglyface2 12/08/21 9:31:09 PM #53 | I started playing Tales of Destiny 2 on the Playstation, and the voice acting right at the very beginning was so bad that I stopped playing before I fought my first battle. |
Topic | How often do you see someone hot from far away, but when you get closer |
Uglyface2 12/08/21 10:30:46 AM #11 | Sometimes. Frankly, Im getting old, too, and I cant be bothered to complain. |
Topic | How often do you see someone hot from far away, but when you get closer |
Uglyface2 12/07/21 10:39:11 PM #2 | It hasn't happened in over 25 years. |
Topic | Finally got a PS Direct invite |
Uglyface2 12/07/21 5:12:43 PM #1 | I finally got the PS5 invitation from PS Direct. The downside is that it's on Thursday, and I'm scheduled off for tomorrow, and I couldn't take time off even if I wanted to because I have a meeting. That means I'd need to try to do this from my phone. Does PS Direct have a mobile app or something? It's worth a shot, right? |
Topic | what game should i play |
Uglyface2 12/06/21 11:04:53 PM #11 | Ryza's a pretty good game. It's maybe a little too fanservice-y, but you get over the underaged Ryza's itty bitty top that can barely contain her heaving breasts and booty shorts pretty quickly. |
Topic | Would you want to live to age 300 if Trump will be president the whole time? |
Uglyface2 12/06/21 11:02:36 PM #12 | No. Consider that most of that time will be spent at work, and 300 years starts to sound like a bad idea. |
Topic | Did you like the Star Wars prequel trilogy more or the sequel trilogy? |
Uglyface2 12/06/21 5:46:53 PM #43 | ST was fun in a popcorn-flick kind of way (sit back, don't think too hard, and shovel down popcorn). PT doesn't do that. |
Topic | He board 8 |

Topic | Is Devil May Cry (2001) a good game? |
Uglyface2 12/05/21 2:29:55 PM #16 | I never cared for it. Ive since avoided the series as well as Bayoneta. |
Topic | Which song do you like more, under pressure or ice ice baby? |
Uglyface2 12/04/21 9:08:45 PM #3 | I like David Bowie and I like Queen, but I don't like Under Pressure. Go figure. |
Topic | Do you own a gun? |
Uglyface2 12/03/21 10:42:38 PM #3 | No. I've said it before on this board, and I'll say it again: my history with my temper makes me not trust myself with a gun. |
Topic | Game of the Year 2021 Lists its time! |
Uglyface2 12/02/21 10:15:34 PM #29 | Time was I'd be able to do a full list and a write-up for each of them, but I guess I don't play as many games anymore. I can barely remember what came out this year, and of them I don't think I've played many of them. |
