| Topic | What is your typical breakfast? |
| Dikitain 04/15/21 1:17:34 PM #9 | 2 fried eggs, hard set, with kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. 2 strips of thick cut uncured bacon, heated to just under sandwich quality doneness (still slightly chewy, but mostly crispy). 1 large banana Glass of iced tea, either with a little lemon or peach juice for flavoring. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Dikitain 04/15/21 1:10:14 PM #14 | No, I am a tea drinker, and I can't stand hot beverages unless it is really really cold. And no, I don't like cold brew coffee. It is even nastier than hot coffee. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... |
| Topic | what draws so many trans people to gaming? |
| Dikitain 04/14/21 2:24:40 PM #18 | Seems pretty odd considering the amount of stuff you hear about online communities for games nowadays, but back when most of them were kids (assuming they are 20-40) gaming was a pretty inclusive. I didn't matter who you were, as long as you liked the same games you got along fine. Most of my friends in school came from tons of different backgrounds but as long as we could sit down and play some Quake together we got along just fine. Can't really say that for most other activities. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... |

| Dikitain 04/13/21 11:37:34 AM #7 | keyblader1985 posted... The game basically rivals Kingdom Hearts II in terms of the longest prologue ever (if the game still holding your hand counts as prologue).Pretty sure FFXIII still beats it with its 20-30 hour tutorial. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Have you ever had a video game item of yours stolen? |
| Dikitain 04/12/21 10:40:50 AM #5 | One of my friends borrowed my PC version of Final Fantasy VII, and "lost" disks 1 and 2. Never got them back. Also got my original gameboy stolen on a class trip in middle school (I think it had Pac-In-Time in it). I didn't really care since I had gotten bored of it by that point. Turns out I got a Gameboy Pocket next Christmas anyways. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... |
| Topic | How many steps do you usually take a day? |
| Dikitain 04/12/21 10:35:15 AM #11 | I have been doing a walk around my block every day since the work from home has started. It's just under 4 miles, so around 8,000 - 10,000 depending on how much else I pace during the day. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

Speaking of That 70's Show, does anyone remember That 80's Show? I think I only watch the first episode, and the only memory I have of it was thinking the main character's sister was kind of cute (in a 80's valley girl kind of way). --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | I unapologetically like Big Bang Theory and don't get the hate |
| Dikitain 04/11/21 6:10:20 PM #23 | I never really understood the hate either. As someone who grew up with sticoms, it does everything that a million other sitcoms from the 80's and 90's did as well. It takes a single premise, repeats the joke for 8 - 10 seasons until people stop thinking it's funny, and goes away. That is literally the definition of a sitcom. I mean sure, nowadays sitcoms aren't nearly as common as they are now but that doesn't mean that one show is automatically the devil incarnate. I honestly have a lot more hate for shows that try to hide that they are sitcoms like The Office or Community. Not Parks and Recreation though, I liked that one for some reason (probably Chris Pratt, dude is hilarious. Oh, and of course Nick Offerman). --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... |
| Topic | What's your first memory? |
| Dikitain 04/10/21 3:41:40 PM #29 | Either one of two things, can't remember which came first: 1) Having breakfast with my parents, and pouring a whole bottle of syrup on my father's pants. 2) Christmas 1986, I got my first wrist watch (which I hated and almost never wore) and a Cabbage Patch kid I named "buddy" who looked almost exactly like me. I carried that doll around everywhere with me for like the next 3 years. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | How many of the rarest video games do you own? |
| Dikitain 04/09/21 10:03:32 AM #27 | The rarest game I own is probably The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. I own a few Atari 7800 games that are somewhat rare, but not by that much. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Hawaii banning plastic eating utensils. |
| Dikitain 04/09/21 9:40:35 AM #39 | I always found the concept of a straw to be stupid anyways. Unless you are a young child or are physically incapable of drinking normally you should never be using a straw. That's what lids were invented for, and you are going to be sucking down a hell of a lot less bacteria using one of those. As for plastic utensils, eh. They are somewhat convenient but I could live without them. Just don't replace them with something that falls apart anytime it gets wet. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Were you ever bullied back when you were in school? |
| Dikitain 04/08/21 8:21:44 PM #23 | In elementary and middle school, yes. In 8th grade I fought back against my bullies and so throughout high school I wasn't really "bullied" per-say, just ignored. Well, except for the time after Columbine where someone thought it would be funny to tell the guidance counselor that I was looking up how to make bombs in my programming class. That was a fun time until my teacher had to basically tell them "no, he wasn't and I have the browser history to prove it". --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Dikitain 04/07/21 11:58:51 AM #6 | THEGODDAMNBATMA posted... So I installed the SSD, and when I checked for it in My PC in Windows it didn't appear. So I went into my BIOS and found that my M.2 port wasn't enabled. I enabled my M.2 port, but after that the computer refused to boot to Windows afterwards until I disabled the M.2.Did you check your boot order after enabling the M.2 port? That can sometimes cause your boot order to change because your BIOS adds the new drive as the first thing to boot (a hold over back when computers used to boot from disk instead of an installed drive). --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | You have to speak in front of a crowd for one hour... |
| Dikitain 04/05/21 3:25:13 PM #34 | Retro PC video game engines The 6 topics would include: Build Engine (Duke 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood, etc.) Z-Machine (Zork 1-3, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and many others) ID Tech 0 (Wolfenstien 3D, Noah's Ark 3D, Rise of the Triad, etc.) Adventure Game Interpreter (King's Quest 1-4, Space Quest 1+2, Police Quest, etc.) ID Tech 1 (Doom, Hexen, Heretic, Chex Quest) SCUMM (Basically every adventure game made by Lucas Arts in the late 80's and early 90's) I could probably go in chronological order, but this would be a good order as far as complexity. I guess I could combine the FPS and Adventure game ones at least. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... |
| Topic | Do people REALLY like Pepperoni on their pizza that much? |
| Dikitain 04/05/21 10:43:33 AM #17 | I usually don't like pepperoni in general unless it is on a pizza. Adds just the right amount of spice (and crunch if you get cup and curl) without overpowering the rest of the ingredients. All the other meats are either too bland or too overpowering. Best pizza by far is pepperoni and mushroom. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job! But I still don't know what to put here so...yea... |

| Topic | Have you gotten your COVID vaccine? |
| Dikitain 04/03/21 7:41:45 PM #23 | I don't think I am eligible because I am not in the age group and while my job is considered "essential", it is something I can do from home indefinitely. Considering people like my 80 year old step grandma can't even get an appointment yet I think I'll wait a bit before looking. Edit: Apparently I am eligible since they just opened it up to anyone 30+, but I would need to make an appointment a month and a half in advance, and I would have to drive 30-150 miles to get it since I can't do it at a pharmacy. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Job loss |
| Dikitain 04/03/21 2:47:02 PM #8 | The contracting firm I was working for had to lay-off a few people back in September, including one of my friends from a previous job who I still talk to regularly and one of my team members. While I do think it was partially their fault, some of it was the company they were contracting for (The one I currently work for) promised to spin up two more teams for projects, only to cancel that after they had already hired a bunch of college graduates. Even though I wasn't even close to being considered as one of the people they were going to get rid of, it still convinced me to start looking for full time positions since I had already been laid off back in 2019 at a job I worked almost 12 years at. Well, that and I had no desire to work on the project my team was getting ready for. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Mail-in voting |
| Dikitain 04/02/21 9:25:16 AM #4 | I am honestly surprised that online voting isn't a thing, never mind that it probably should have been the norm by now. I mean, you file your taxes, renew your license, and apply for just about every government program under the sun online, yet for some reason the most important thing to any government functionality still has to be done in person or by mail. Then again, the government is always about 20 years behind technologically from the private sector so I really shouldn't be at all surprised. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Do you support youtube removing public dislike numbers from videos? |
| Dikitain 04/01/21 10:15:42 PM #17 | Pretty sure Youtube is doing it only because their videos (and crap videos from big corporations) are getting massive amounts of dislikes, not because the feelings of an independent content creator are getting hurt. Hell, most of them will say they use dislikes to gauge if they should change the way they make their content or if they should keep doing what they are doing. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Dikitain 03/26/21 9:59:12 AM #48 | I have pretty much played all of the Mario, Zelda, Mega Man (except 11 and some of the Battle Chip games), Final Fantasy (except 11, 14, 15, and Tactics), and Assassin's Creed (except the latest) games. I guess take your pick which has the most games, just because I can't be assed to try and count them.

Every big company was a start up at some pointAnd that happens to what, 1% of them at most? Even then, half of them don't even retain their original owners by the time they become big.

Difference was that movie was awesome (even if the Bruce Wayne parts were completely different from how he should be) so the critics were completely forgotten.

Right now my mom's ashes are sitting on a shelf in my spare bedroom, so I guess I visit that once every couple of days when I go into the room for something or to clean. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Super Mario 64 Sucks... And Here's Why |
| Dikitain 03/13/21 7:59:16 AM #60 | adjl posted... Actually, Galaxy was the start of 3D Mario's shift to being more platforming-oriented. Each world was smaller and more linear than in 64 or Sunshine, with more focus on interesting platforming than exploration. Galaxy 2 took that a step further, then SM3D Land and World were basically pure platformers. Odysssey then took the subseries back to being a collect-a-thon.And I think the big distinction of what made the Galaxies and SM3D Land/World way better then 64 or Sunshine was it made the camera much better. The player didn't have to control it, it was always in the optimal position to tell players everything they needed to know. Sure, you could manipulate it a little if you wanted, but you never had to stop every few seconds and re-adjust it. Even Odyssey I can give a pass to because while it did kind of go back to the collect-a-thon, it at least did it in a fun way. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Topic | Super Mario 64 Sucks... And Here's Why |
| Dikitain 03/11/21 1:57:47 PM #37 | I always felt it sucked, but I am pretty sure my reasons aren't even addressed in the video. I think it sucks because I think every 3d platformer from the 90's and early 00's suck. They all have the same problems: Slower gameplay than their 2D counterparts, difficulty based solely on camera angles, formulaic boss fights, and an over-reliance on "open" levels with multiple objectives. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

| Dikitain 03/08/21 7:30:45 PM #33 | Not really a "new" thing, but since the Yakuza Remastered collection has made it's way to PC, 2021 basically has become the year of Yakuza for me. Making my way through 3, going to play 4, then 5 after. Then pick up and play 6 once it comes out later this month. I have also heard rumors that since Judgement is coming to a bunch of systems in April that it might make it's way to PC as well. Would love to play that one. Also, my comic book reading oddly enough kind of slowed down last year, so am catching up on that. Got a couple of old Vertigo stories I am going through, then plan to read Punisher from the 2010's.

That said, it is about 20 minutes from my house so I don't go that often (although if I ever go back to working from an office, it will be on my way home).
