I wear a mask in public because I'm not a fucking moron and I understand what viral transmission means.

Fully vaccinated and this.

Not really into 1stP games, but since I really into the RE series, still will give it a try...

Funny, I love a good FPS, but think RE and how they leaned more into horror-horror in 7 might turn me off.

Oh wow I didnt know the release date was so soon. I just bought 2 and 7 in the Steam sale. I need to play those still

Started 2 last week after buying it in the sale as well, loving it so far.

Not sure if 7/8 are my style of horror, but they definitely look like good games.

Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry is dating that girl and he really likes her then finds out she dated Newman.. and not just did she date Newman, but HE broke up with HER!

such a good episode

newman says shes fine for you.. but I need a REALLY pretty face

Someone who judges people solely on past decisions would fit right in with the Seinfeld gang.

Nostalgia is gonna be king here but:
Melee
Ultimate
64
3DS/WiiU
Brawl

literally one of the best Strokes songs. favorite off of that album is "The Adults Are Talking" for sure. might even be my favorite Strokes songs of all time.

I liked Bad Decisions when it dropped, and its the weakest track on the album to me.
I think its my favorite album of the last decade and it made me rekindle my love of the Strokes.
I must have played that album cover to cover over 100 times already.

Loved the shrines in BotW, but I really wish the game had some dungeons that actually felt like Zelda style/caliber dungeons.
Even if just the four beasts were more like classic 3D Zelda dungeons Id enjoy it more.

Majora is still my favorite (and that one only had four real dungeons), but BotW is definitely up there for me.

well, if someone today continues to like and associate with bill "vaccines cause autism" maher, they can eat my shorts

I'm not saying give people a free pass if they're currently shitheads.
I'm saying if someone used to be a shithead but their actions today show that they are a better person I'm not going to judge them on their mistakes of the past.

I judge people based on who they are today.
If people only ever judged me on my mistakes of the past I'd only get worse and never grow.

well, there's way less star wars movies than MCU movies, so you should keep up your pace.

Yeah there are what... three or four?
Easy peasy.

Got my second jab on Friday.
Woke up with some body aches and a minor headache yesterday.
Drank about three times more water than usual and popped an extra strength tylenol every fourish hours or so. Other than wanting to stay on the couch after that I felt pretty good, and today I felt 100% normal and went kayaking with the wife.

Yeah, born and raised.
What rain did we get this year so far? lol
Best part of last year was staying inside for the majority of the time I usually question why I live here.

Idk about you but we got rain at my house once in March

The day after talking about how it never rains it sprinkles for all of five seconds near me and then it fucks off again.
Leave it to Phoenix

I can't imagine that.
I like sitting at a standard computer desk, and I just use dual 25" monitors that I switch between my rig I built and my work laptop with a kvm switch. Going to 32" or larger would be hell to me.

I think it's definitely okay to start with the first Cap.
For the most part I'd stick to release order as well though.

Last time I checked, marijuana was illegal for rec use in Minnesota, but you're ignoring the fact that he missed his court date for previously evading the police for a gun he didnt have a permit for.

Last I checked it was illegal to have a bathtub without feet in MN.
Something being illegal doesn't make it wrong. Especially a substance that will be legalized nationwide in the next 5 if not 10 years.

JixHedgehog posted...

I'm not justifying his killing in any shape or form but for his life to be that messed up at such a young age wasnt going to bode well for him or his family

Missing a court date and smoking a joint isn't "messing up your life".
You might not be justifying his killing, but you sure are harping on things that hold barely any weight. By stating these things about the kid you're attempting to paint him in a bad light without even knowing him. There are a million reasons to miss a court date.

Ogurisama posted...

Best episode so far imo
Im enjoying it, but i no where near as much as wandavision
I think it Warmachine was a regular in the supporting cast i would have loved it. Him being a smart ass is always great

I adored Wandavison, but the Cap storyline has been the one I've been the most invested in since The Winter Solider premiered. FatWS definitely takes the cake for me.
Can't wait to see what they do for the finale next week.

I haven't played VII, but he looks like Topher Grace had sex with a saltine.

Hell yeah, Cap has the best trilogy imo (with the first flick being good but the weakest)
I've gone through them all a couple times now because my wife likes to re-watch them.
We re-watched the Cap movies and last two Avengers before FatWS.

I laughed far too hard at "Tally-ho"

Oh, you're in PHX? Whaddup you ready for it to be hot as balls and have no more rain til next year

Yeah, born and raised.

I thought about driving down there to check it out, but I got my 2nd Pfizer yesterday and the body aches are keeping me on the couch.

I think we are gonna have little caesars and watch the new falcon and winter soldier

Not that it even needs to be said, but it was a good fuckin' ep.

I could only find one article on it right now:
https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2021/04/17/strength-unity-march-arizona-capitol-rescheduled-due-neo-nazi-rally/7268565002/

"A rally by a group widely classified as a neo-Nazi organization at the Arizona Capitol on Saturday was largely uneventful, with counter-protesters greatly outnumbering others in attendance."

They were denied a protest permit by the state and are promoting hate speech illegally.
Freedom of speech does not extend to hate speech.

I see no issues with blocking Nazi sympathizers

I snagged a Steam Link when they discontinued them for $5.
With decent WiFi or a hardline/ethernet connection it's great. Especially since my TV and computer are in separate rooms.

I lold at the reading rainbow vid, but that slingshot vid was so unexpectedly wholesome.

When I was in first grade one of the kids told me I wasn't allowed to play kickball with the rest of the class. I went to the same grade school as my sister who happened to be walking by and saw the kid giving me a hard time.
She was in 3rd grade and she pushed the kid up against a chain link fence and stared at him and said "... I heard you're not letting Drek play kickball huh? ....you're gonna let him play aren't you?"

The kid was freaked out and just said yes and ran away.
I didn't go play kickball with them because I didn't want to play with people that didn't like me, but what my sis did was pretty cool.

I will say I did the same joystick repair for my joycons two years ago and it may have been because I also took the time to replace the joycon shells as long as I was doing it, but the project took me a couple hours.

I imagine just replacing a single joystick is easier though.

Any sites like a Craigslist or an app like OfferUp maybe?

Though those require a meet-up generally so might not be what youre looking for.

Ive also had decent success in local non n pop used media/bookstores for this kind of thing, but as always YMMV.

Ive only ever made grilled cheese in a frying pan funny enough.

I put a tiny bit of Mayo on the outside of the bread and put a pat of butter in the pan. Then I use gouda, havarti, and a medium cheddar and cover the pan so the cheese melts faster than the bread toasts.
*chefs kiss*

I havent given these movies a shot since the 4th one with Christian Bale.
I didnt even find that one to be terrible, just boring as hell, which in some ways was worse.
At least I can have a stupid bad time with T3.

I rewatch Terminator and T2 every couple years and Im satisfied with that.

Adding anything other than cheese makes it a melt.
Melts are delicious, but theyre not grilled cheese.

Yeah thats been my last year, and it sucks too because my wife has to be conscious about it.

She says it doesnt bother her that much, but I know life would be easier if I didnt have to check fuckin everything.

Like, yeast is fine, but I have to watch out for yeast extract because that can sometimes contain gluten...

Zeus posted...

Something without gluten, probably? It wouldn't really be hard.

I phrased this topic in a way that was super confusing.
Ive been on a gluten free diet for one year due to the result of a blood test that my PCP did showing I had celiacs disease (it runs in my family.)
My GI doesnt believe that test was conclusive enough so theyre going to have me eat gluten for two weeks prior to an endoscopy which will confirm 100% whether or not I have celiac.

Essentially Im going to eat gluten for two weeks not knowing if itll be the last time Im able to or not and Im gathering suggestions for the foods/drinks I should have since it could be the last time I do.

With the new morbius movie there is a good chance for a blade reboot given how the two are in the cross hairs of dracula

dom316 posted...
Marvel already announced a reboot back in 2019. Mahershala Ali has already been cast.

True, but I doubt well see them cross
paths with Morbius being a Sony property and Blade being a Marvel Studios IP.
With the most recent Sony deal it would seem that Tom Hollands Spider-man may appear in both the Sony-verse and the MCU, but no other MCU in Sony and vice versa.

Where is this bookstore?

Central Phoenix, AZ
Changing Hands Bookstore/First Draft Book Bar.
Super chill place to have a beer or coffee with a book. One of the few places I end up striking up cool conversations with strangers as well.

Everyone says 2 is the best one, but I like the first one the most.
I actually watched them both for the first time a couple months ago. I still haven't seen Trinity however.

Ya got me.
They generally have stellar deals on tap too.

SunWuKung420 posted...

Provide an example.

If GF beers weren't shit I'd have tried those.

There's a bookstore that has it's own bar here and their beer buyer only buys good shit.

I would eat pasta morning, noon and night

Oh hell yeah, just remembered a local Italian joint I haven't been to in ages that that makes their own pasta daily.

SunWuKung420 posted...

Drink beer.

The basic bro in me misses a damn good IPA

LinkPizza posted...

Pizza. Though, tbh, Id probably keep eating it after...

After a year of gf and cauliflower crusts there is definitely a pizzeria or two on my list
