Endless McMansion suburbs are super depressing. You know the homes built around post mid 90s that all have those trendy subdivision names that have nothing to do with the landscape around. They feel like population deserts even though you know people live there, but probably have several rooms they don't need.

Then any place that is smaller becomes all trendy and thus overpriced to the point you pay more per square footage.

Urban planning is soooo behind in the USA.

In production it was Mario 5. Miyamoto calls it a Mario game.

It would really help in this inflated housing crisis to be able to find smaller homes like 2 rooms with a yard.

At least locally it's you either get a home 3-4 bedrooms or get a 1-2 room apartment. Owning and renting right now is so absurd especially with how little REAL wages have stagnated.

I know there's condos, van life, trailer homes, rv parks, etc...

I mean overall though it would be nice to have rows of tiny homes you could own and be geared toward the you ger population who on average is going to have less kids.

I never went back to beardless after 2014. I just trim once every month or so. So much time saved not having to shave. Women dig the beard too

Yeah been lurking here since 99. There is nothing like a good ole traditional forum. I've discovered so many forums and ways to communicate online over the years. I oddly keep coming back to this place. It's like my virtual hometown I can always go back to that hasn't hardly changed.

My goodness she is so hot in The Voyeurs

I know McDonalds gets a bad wrap for being unhealthy and prime example of corporate fast food conglemerate. However, I've eaten food from there so long and never had a bad encounter with it. I can't say the same eating at a lot of other establishments.

I really hate to say this, but you pretty much have to give up on these people. They're too far gone. It's really sad because I have family members similar to that.

I know it's very sad and it's how I feel too. For rest of my life I will look at that person differently and probably not be around them.

And my family member still tells me of how there's a whistleblower video out there exposing the vaccine killing 45,000 and how they won't get a shot. This family member got back from going to a funeral too...

That background sound is the sound of Trump's 2020 run

Yeah thank you for someone doing an actual service to me personally. Just blindly telling a service member thank you for your service is awkward af. I know several people with military backgrounds and they all say it's super weird for people to randomly tell them that.

It's just the funniest thing when people say this to military members who literally just have another job like anyone else, except they went to boot camp.

Try original Banjo-Kazooie. It's more slow paced and focused on exploring. R&C games are more of a hybrid of third person shooter and platformer.

It just makes sense

Actually eating with mouth open makes you taste food better. Perhaps it's an evolutionary trait to help humans detect the right food. So keep eating with mouth open for the sake of nature.

This happened with Lil Nas X with Old Town Road. A bunch of country purist douchebags outright excluded Lil Nas X because he wasn't "country" enough. We all know it meant not "white" enough though. Old Town Road is as much country as any Like Bryan song is "country".

Same thing happened with Macklemore over Best Rap Award. In general, white rappers get a lot of backlash from rap purists.

Then you have black artists doing pop music, but then ones who give awards just want to place in hip-hop/r&b category only because they're black.

I make electronic and video game music mainly. I work with all kinds of rhythms and styles. If I want to make a cumbia song, Jpop vocals, mariachi brass, and a gospel choir I can do whatever the hell I want.

If "Latin music" is any music genre based around Latin backgrounds like salsa, reggaeton, merengue, latin pop, cumbia, norteo, etc... then ANYONE is allowed to make it and then recieve an award if it's good enough. Now if that category is solely used to give awards to only "Latin" artists then it's already a stupid award because music has no boundaries.

How about this

1. Award shows suck in general
2. Categorizing people into boxes suck
3. Music genres are a free for all. Gatekeeping a genre is stupid and racist in itself.

I always knew my instinct. He already had the most punchable face. He's in a special punchable face category up there with Ted Cruz.

I love the more alternative vibe with the album

I have basically forfeited to this same mentality. With my experience working, hard work has never paid off. Whenever I have worked hard I am met with even more. So many jobs make working efficient impossible because they want you on their time. You finish early then they will give you more BS tasks. You do a perfect job then they expand your responsibilities without extra benefits or more pay. So after awhile it seems futile to push oneself over the threshold of what you will be rewarded for.

Smart work is where it's at.

Sounds like you suck at interviews. Youre supposed to come prepared with stories about your experience. Those questions asked can easily be turned into a story about your past experiences. But you are not prepared and thus not suited for employment

I was prepared and had an answer for every single one by improvising because I've had a variety of job experiences in a short time period. When interviews just boil down to the most generic corporate BS then it makes me think that company sucks as well. So if they think I did bad, then I probably think they did as well. It's more about chemistry.

A lot of times there are multiple interviews. You have the hr interview where you go through what you did and then a focused interview with people from the team who test what you know.

That could be true, although the person who interviewed me said they lead the team I was applying for. I've already went through a recruiter before too.

Welcome to the corporate world

Yep it was the most "corporate" interview I've ever experienced. Sucked the energy out of me by the end.

95% of the questions were the typical HR interview questions you can find just searching a script. It felt super fake. I even had a question about if I use social media and which ones... What role do I normally have in a team? Tell me one time you helped a customer? How do you take negative feedback?

Literally no questions were about my expertise in the field or experience. It felt so disheartening just how much of a facade interview was.

No wonder so many people can't get into fields they pursued as a career. It comes down to just playing the part and being a smiling team player that probably spouts off social media quips with a following...

It's all about colour bass, melodic riddim, future riddim right now that's super fresh. At this point it's even moving away from what I'd even call a dubstep subgenre to be it's own unique main genre.

It's broken down into all kinds of subgenres and fusions

Brostep
Riddim
Purple
Post-dubstep
Drumstep
Metalstep
Deathstep
Minatory
Melodic dubstep
Colour bass
Neurostep
Tearout
Briddim
Melodic riddim
Freeform bass

It has influenced so many genres. The sound designs crept into a lot of modern production. Dubstep is very much alive. The popular form that got big around early 2010s brostep phase started to lose popular appeal. A lot of those artists moved on to genres such as future bass, trap, and more.

You can find all kind of variations and experimentations if you dig deep enough. Wakaan label is a good start if you like bass heavy genres such as trap, dubstep, glitch hop, etc...

This gen needs a straight up PS2 era style GTA without all the bloat of modern open world games.

I don't fucking get it.

What about the modern Republican Party is supposed to be attractive to the average worker, again?

Average workers think they are future millionaires and get caught up fighting amongst themselves. Instead of fighting with the elite/politicians, they get the trickled down bootstrat mentality that says lower class don't deserve equality even though they themselves are on the low end from the perspective of the elites.

Add that with the whole puritan/evangelical Christian mentality of hard work, cultural warfare on social media, and mass media exaggerations then you got a population fed on distractions to stop them from asking questions.

It should totally be set in the early/mid 00s as a nostalgic mashup satire now that we are 15-20 years removed from that era. I mean original already was, but now it could be like how Vice City was to the 80s when it was released. Now the 00s can be summed up historically easier.

I beat half of the games thanks to Game Pass and Xbox Gold weekends.

My list might be considered filler by many, but how else should unbeatable games be considered done? I just go by a personal goal post.

Sports, battle royale, mobas, etc.. where you play matches between opponents I simply put on my list once I have achieved a victory. So yeah, Madden and Pokemon Unite could be considered beaten in 15 minutes on my list.

Simulation, survival, etc.. games with no real ending and can go on and on are a little trickier. I just feel like when all the modes have been explored and played with it counts. Now some games like this have a background story you can do like No Man's Sky. I only counted that once I reached credits.

Arcade games, incremental games, and games with an addicting repetitive cycle I just have a stopping point if game starts looping and the end is this impossible challenge. A lot of incremental games can go on so long and just a new coat of paint is applied once you reach a new unlock.

So yeah, I beat 172 games. Even if you don't count all these games it's over 100. If you play 40 hours a week and each game is 8 hours on average you could get to 160 games in 8 months.
