Your responses are saying "I have no interest in you whatsoever, please stop trying to talk with me."

Surprisingly, the one near me is still going to be open. I will continue to never set foot in it.

Does IDW publish them?

Because I am really starting to hate IDW as a comic book publisher. I used to like their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, then when they started splitting it off and producing a million different sub-series I stopped caring about it. Actually told my comic book store to stop pulling them for me after they ended the main series because it got to be too much.

Wonder how many people still have one of those? And more importantly what they look like after 20+ years of use.

Also amazing how expensive recliners where back then. I think I got mine for like $250 brand new 6 or 7 years ago.

I have no problems, I'm perfect!

But seriously, probably not.

This is one I played and liked as a kid:

They remastered it recently, which is supposedly a little better (I haven't played the newer version so I don't know for sure):

I could have invested that money or made better use of it at the very least.

Compared to some hobbies, video games isn't really a "I could have invested it!" thing. It is so minuscule vs. what some people pay on sports, cars, boats, planes, or other hobbies. Besides, the whole investment thing is BS anyways. Like the people who say "Don't pay off your mortgage early, you can invest the extra money!". The math behind it is so far fetched once they try to explain it to you.

Just enjoy your hobbies and avoid making stupid big purchase. A $60 once every week or two is not breaking the bank unless you don't make enough money to justify it, which considering you aren't homeless and hungry (I assume) isn't the case.

Billionaires will gladly pay people smarter than them millions of dollars to avoid having to pay the government hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Once you realize that, you understand that the secret to personal wealth is to be one of those smart people conning the billionaires.

All except 3, 11, 14, and 16.

3 because the final dungeon is such a slog. I like grinding but it gets too much for me. Probably should pick up the pixel remaster or 3D version since it supposedly fixes that.

11 and 14 because I don't play MMOs

16 because it hasn't released on PC yet.

Clearly your constitution is low and you need to level it up by ordering a party pack of supreme tacos next time and not stopping until they are gone.

I went to the Ben and Jerry's factory as a kid, so I am sure I tried whatever crazy flavors they had. Can't remember though.

Usually when I get ice cream, it is the lactose free kind so my options are limited.

I don't think there is much that law enforcement can do since most of the scammers are in other countries (mostly India and China). Outside the jurisdiction of all but international courts (which really don't have any power in the first place).

I don't think you are going to find one that matched the popularity of console platformers simply because PC wasn't as popular when they were in their heyday. But if you want to list classic ones, I would throw Commander Keen and Jill of the Jungle in there as well.

Duke Nukem 2 is, in my opinion, the best DOS platformer.

Probably a "I'm gonna call 911 for everything" person.

Most handymen and laborers prefer cash because it lets them fudge income for tax purposes. No paper trail means you can underreport.

I am kind of surprised that (non-certified) checks are still a thing. Most places refuse to take them for major purchases and everyplace that does usually allows credit/debit cards which are way more convenient. I have used the same book of checks since 2012, and it is still like half full.

Unless you like getting hacked, updates are a necessary evil for having connections to the Internet.

Rome, 4,341 mi away.

I haven't carried cash on me since my trip to the west coast last year, and even then, half the stores didn't accept cash. Even though they "are legally required to do so".

I'll probably have some on hand for the comic book convention I am going to in a couple of weeks. Doubt most of the vendors will have tablets with square handy.

In another scenario, I am a former computer technician, and I've moved on to a different well paying career, I have so much money I don't know what to do with it. I've had a lifetime of fiddling with computers and I'm done with it at that point, I have enough money to just skip putting the thing together altogether and prefer to pay someone else to do it for me.

In my experience, those are usually the people who spend upwards of 5 figures on a build every 2-3 years and upgrade to the latest and greatest video card when it comes out. So a pre-built is pretty much a moot point because they can't keep up with how powerful they want their PC to be.

I am still using the same PSU from like 16 years ago in mine.

And a lot of my friends have similar experiences. One of my friends is on his 4th build and is still using the same PSU from early 2000's. Like, seriously, those things never fail.

But yea, once a computer hits about 5-6 years old, I know I am replacing the HDD. Although I have never had an SSD fail on my yet. Oldest one is about 10 years old, and it still works. My work computers are even worse, never had a HDD last more then 4 years on one of those.

Yellow posted...

So my computer starts turning off during an intense video game, especially when I set the graphics to high. Great, that's just the PSU dying. Pretty obvious issue/fix. One day the computer just doesn't turn on.

Actually, my first thought when reading that was overheating or connection issue which...

Guys... The graphics card power cable wasn't plugged into the PSU...

Turned out to be right. PSU is usually the last thing to die on a computer. I am still using the same PSU from like 16 years ago in mine.

What about StarCraft 2?
I plan to go through that one as well. Hopefully by Warcraft 3 Blizz realized these games weren't accessible enough to all players so they toned down the difficulty.

Played Wings of Liberty (the free campaign), never bought the other 2 campaigns. Wings of Liberty is basically as easy as Warcraft 3, although it has been several years so I can't comment on comparing the two that closely.

Yea, I beat Warcraft 3 (and it's expansion) pretty easily. I could never get through WC 1 due to the completely unfriendly user interface. If any game needs an enhanced edition, it is that. Also beat WC2, BtdP, and SC 1. Brood War I got up to Zerg mission 3 or 4 and basically had to cheat the rest of the way through. Never went back to beat it legit.

No. That is pretty much the entire appeal of Pro Wrestling for a lot of people, myself included.

To be fair, they did overturn my moderation without me appealing, so they might just genuinely be confused about the confusing ToS

The rules about what and what not to mod where pretty vague when I was doing it. I can't imagine what they are now. Unless the mods where having a discussion about something specific, you were pretty much told: "Uh..yea..clearly you understand the TOS enough to become a mod sooo...just use your best judgement..."

The trend in my area seems to be putting wealthy neighborhoods into poor areas for...reasons? IDK, it just seems odd seeing McMansions sprouting up next to the meth lab near where I grew up. Or putting expensive loft apartments less than a mile from where someone gets murdered at least once a week.

Yes, both of those actually happened.

Yea, if they want home owners to move to newer technology for that stuff, it really should be done as some sort of tax credit or energy efficiency program. Not when we are going "FUCK, I HAVE NO HOT WATER!!!"

You got a deal, mine was $3500.

Well, mine was $3500 twice, then eventually one of those was refunded. Because my town requires permits for new water heaters and this was during covid when no one was manning town halls, I had to buy it again from a company who didn't give a crap about waiting for a permit before installing it.

Speaking of, that was 4 years ago and I still haven't gotten the permit for it...LOL!

I'm not much of a sex-haver I'll admit, but how many dudes are fucking every day anyway? Having one day off doesn't really sound like that big of a deal

Are you the guy who said he gets wet dreams after like two days? That sounds like some sort of condition. Maybe a totally harmless for all I know, but that definitely ain't normal

Yea, that's me!

IDK, I must be a "over-producer" or something. People think I am weird that I can have sex like 4-5 times a day and not dry up at all.

There is a Rochester in just about every state in the US, but I haven't been to any others.

I have been to both Rome, NY and Rome, Italy. Also, Charlotte NC and Charlotte NY, although they are pronounced differently.

NY also has a Greece and Mexico, but I haven't been to those countries.

The worst think about getting a vasectomy is just not being able to have sex for a day.

Well, that and the smell of burning sperm as they weld you shut after.

Coffee is the devil's taint sweat.

Probably one of the best adventure games. Just the fact that it randomizes who is and isn't a replicant every playthough makes it pretty much a different experience every time you play it. Plus having 12 endings.

Which version should I play?

Since you have both, stick with the original. Enhanced Edition has some issues apparently.

Own my own house, and I don't have a mortgage. All I pay is property taxes.

^This, although my home value went up about $50K this year, which made my property taxes go up another $600 for the year.

Yeah, that alone makes having a sex and sexuality board a bit iffy. I was never on the board so I have no idea how spicy things got over there, but even having a discussion about sex with someone that young is a good way to end up on a watch list.

The last topic I posted in (literally an hour before they shut the board down) was essentially some guy asking if he might have symptoms of testicular cancer.

Real dangerous content there.

You know you have class when you store your various liquor bottles on a window sill.

It is pretty telling that as "Draconian" as GameFAQs was with their moderations and censorship, I can count on one hand the number of boards they shutdown in the almost 25 years between when the message boards became active and when Fandom took over. They have at least tripped that number by my estimation in the last year.

Play any of the Madden games from the last 10 years or so, they have more complex RPG systems than most modern RPGs.

i've seen feeds of boomer men who had nothing but porn shares on their page

Could be that their KIDS used their google/facebook account to log into porn sites.

...not that I have any experience with that or anything...

I own a black car, and that is most definitely blue.

There are tons of different shades of blue, but cars that are black are pretty much all the same shade of black. There are no variations. And that care isn't anywhere close to what black cars look like.

Both are great, but I would give it to Alien just because it was so different compared to the other 70's horror movies. Aliens is, for all intents and purposes, just a standard action movie.

When you play a game from Quantic Dream, you pretty much expect a dumb story and quick time events. Complaining that the game is giving you a dumb story and quick time events is like peeing in the corner of your bedroom and complaining that your room smells like piss the next day.

Although I will say that in general, the newer a game is, the more it expects the player to want the game to be stupidly easy. I was almost shocked at how ridiculously hand-holding Beyond: Two Souls was compared to Heavy Rain, and how easy Heavy Rain was compared to Fahrenheit.

9 was the least memorable for me.

I beat the game twice (once for all of the side content and main story, again for the "under 20 hours" weapon), but I honestly couldn't tell you anything about it outside of one or two story beats.

Meanwhile, I beat 4 once, ten years earlier, and can pretty much recite half the story from memory. And that was another one I never really cared for.

The more I think about it, the more I consider professional sports to essentially be the billionare's version of welfare.

They aren't cars, they're human beings. You don't window shop and kick the tires to see which one you want to take for a test drive.

Once you get used to the hole, it is difficult to wear any without it.

Wearing some right now, and it is annoying not being able to just whip it out to pee.

A new Startropics would be awesome!

I could also go for a new Wing Commander game, as in a story driven, mainline series one. Not just space combat.
