Obviously the answer wouldn't be CRT. Those are big and bulky, hell I still use a CRT for my old game consoles, thing weighs like 50 lbs for a 22 inch television.

IPS has low color properties so your more or less getting a display with faded pictures. It was used more in the 80s, and had heavy viewing angle problems.

CCFL is an older version for LCD monitors. Using Florescent lights rather than LED lights, they weighed more and used more power.

LED lights are the most modern of the 4. They are brighter, last longer, don't give off heat and cost significantly less to run and buy. They can also be seen at almost any angle evenly.

pretty much anything other than LEDs aren't used much today. You might see CRTs still being used in hospitals, but they are being thrown out every day in favor of something slimmer and more modern.

I thought Fear & Desire was generally considered a bad film?

Personally, I'd say that David Lynch is somebody who's never made a bad film, but at the same time I know there are many people who would say that he's only made bad films, so...

I love Lynch but that film with Nick Cage in 92 forgot the name, was a crap film.

David Lynch made Dune which was a terrible movie. Also your looking for Wild at Heart.

lol you guys would hate being with me at a Subway. I usually get lots of lite mayo and extra pickles on my favorite sub.

That's because Subway ingredients taste like paper and pickles are among the few things there with any flavor.

Anyways, I don't like coconut.

Subways absolutely gross. I only go there if there are no other options. What annoys me more is that we have 2 other sub take-out places here Quiznos and Mr. Sub. Quiznos is still expanding but somehow all the Mr. Sub locations are getting taken over by Subway and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

They have better sandwiches than Subway, they actually serve Mushrooms which I love on subs for some reason, and they have the Santa Fe Spicy Chicken which dwarfs anything Subway sells.

If Kevin Smith had stopped making movies after Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back I would have said him... we all know how that went down afterwards.

I know its animation, but Hayao Miyazaki? I can't think of a bad Miyazaki film atm.

Mcdonalds had the Spicy Buffalo Poutine, which I absolutely loved.

Seafood, more specifically Salmon. I can't stand the taste of Salmon.

Avocado
Melons(except for Watermelon which I absolutely love)
Cilantro(I'm in the percentile that tastes soap)

EDIT: Dill Pickles. I'm fine with Sandwich Pickles.

Its pretty bad when even China realizes that Coal is a dying industry, and has switched to Green methods.

One little hint I got from a buddy which seems to never work for me as every girl despite being 20 years old wants to be in a serious long term relationship.

Find a sex buddy. Doesn't have to be someone you see yourself with long term, just makes yourself more comfortable around the opposite gender.

She was meh. Maybe a 6/10.

Look, maybe your standards are too high. I'll give you some solid dating advice from a wise old man.... Ken Titus from the show Titus.

When I go out drinking, I don't go for the 10. I go for the 6 and drink until she's an 8.

I'm 32, no kids, no girlfriend, you don't see me complaining about it. It will happen. There are some people who don't end up having kids until their 40s hit. You'll find someone. Don't let one bad, or even a hundred bad incidents get you down.

What makes you so sure I'll find someone if I've been going out to raves and nightclubs for the last 2 years and haven't been laid once? I only make friends. It seems to me that the ship has sailed and it's all downhill from here.

I haven't been laid in 4 years, get on my level. The one chance I had to screw a woman the past 4 years she ended turning psychopath on me. Instead of "why don't you come back to my place" it was "I want you to get me pregnant". Meanwhile.... this was the 5th date.

that's a girl I can really get behind.....while my enemies attack me from the front.

I sit at home and watch movies alone, does that count?

I accidently pressed japanese on installation, need to figure out how to change it to english in game. Can someone lead me through this process?

Just noting that I didn't post the first one for anyone not paying attention.

and that's a fair point. While it may be a cost efficient to work with smaller youtubers, hers is a very small channel. If she were say.... 150k followers I could see her opening up the lines of communication for maybe a discount in exchange for social media presence, but not asking for things for free.

It's not unreasonable at all.

I started getting offers from hotels when my Instagram was only at 10k followers for a free stay in exchange for 2 IG posts and a blog article.

Dear god I need to switch career paths.

I just gave the hotel 5 stars for this because why not.

What is wrong with people that they think "social influencer" is a "profession" and that they are entitled free things for that?

More like "social influenza" am i right lol

If the person was someone like.... Casey Neistat, I could see it working in their favor as the guy has over 6 million followers on Youtube, plus his other medias. But someone who has less than 100K? At least get over 500k then you can talk about getting maybe a discount.

Hell, I think Casey would pay for the accommodations, though he probably gets a complimentary breakfast or something.

You clearly have no fucking clue how marketing is done nowadays.

It's way more cost efficient to work with a bunch of small influencers that add up to a large audience than working with a single top level influencer.

Once when I was working my previous job I laid down to go to sleep around 12, with work at 8. My alarm clock is one of those that shines the time on the wall so you don't have to wake up and look right at it to see what time it is.

I looked at the time, it was like 12:05, I turned for what I thought was a split second, looked back at the clock and it was 7:30 and it was starting to get light outside.

Worst sleep of my life. I nearly fainted at work I was that tired, but unfortunately my boss was an asshole and wouldn't let me go home early, even though I explained that I was about to pass out from exhaustion. Had to wait 8 hours to go home, and passed out as soon as I hit the bed.

Another time I was driving home from another job, nearly passed out on the road, but somehow missed my exit by 20 minutes. I'm still surprised I didn't drive off the highway from that one. But now, if I'm feeling tired, I'll pull off to the side of the road and take a quick nap instead of going any further.

So.... instead of getting a windows update we have to win it out of a loot box now?

Thick>Thin>Fit>Fat

Now, that said, if the woman is 240 lbs and a little extra then yay.

I'd rather Alexa just update to actually have video game music on it rather than me having to load up a folder to play VG music.

thanks for the response. Can't say why I was asking that question, as its kind of a legal kind of thing.

legit question, I'm trying to figure out the answer to.

If a cashier purchases something while they are on their break, are they now considered customers at least for the time being until they get back from break?

Turns out it was my fault on that issues, I put in the wrong number. That said, the number they gave me lead me another cell phone company who is probably owned under them.

I'm just going to go and talk to the people at the kiosk tomorrow instead. Get it done in a couple minutes instead of bouncing around using up my minutes.

talks to an employee online, he assures me everything is going to be fixed up, I just need to call this number.... proceeds to give me a number to a scam artist giving away free cruise ship tickets.

story of my life. I'm definitely going to talk to the guys at the kiosk about this.

yeah, my phone was supposed to have been paid off back in July, yet I'm still getting the old plan on my phone 100 minutes a month for 29. Yet their 30 a month plan gives 500 minutes a month.....

Yeah.... I need to get this shit checked out. Something wrong here, I think I'm getting screwed. I just checked their website and it says 500 minutes a month free for 30 bucks. They told me I only get 100 free minutes last time I was at the Kiosk a couple days ago.

I don't have a lot of money, my job unfortunately has cut my hours from 48/w to 12/w(yes I've bitched and complained at them because of that, they refuse to up my hours), and yes I'm in the process of finding another job and quitting this one, as they still owe me money.

and we don't have Verizon up here in Canada apparently. No, I can't afford 40 dollars a month with taxes. I already have enough bills as is.

and every other phone carrier that charges you for incoming calls. Started a new job last month and had a ton of incoming calls from my employer letting me know of job sites they wanted me at or things they wanted me to do.

checks my phone bill.... 40 dollars over the limit, I made barely 3 calls last month spanning 2 minutes each, as usually I text.

Its a sneaky practice and honestly, I might see if there are any providers that don't do this bullshit.

they are to me, damn near paid 75 bucks for my cell phone bill last month as they didn't give me any indication that I was going over my minutes.

9 was a pretty amazing game. It wasn't without its problems. Zidanes trance was pretty useless, and I thought the final boss was a little out of place, but still a fun experience.

Though I have to say I don't like the newest version of the game on Steam. The menu system is just messed up in that version.

I search up Metallica and it keeps shuffing Ozzy into the playlist while saying that it cannot find Metallica. I'm sure it will probably be the same for other music, so is there any ways to fix this problem?

Also, Chrono Trigger is, and will always be, the #1 SNES JRPG.

um no. barely top 10.

Contrary to popular belief, are you aware SNES doesn't really have that many RPGs? Especially if you take Japanese only games out? CT is in the top 10 almost by default, even if you're not a sheep that thinks its #1.

Doesn't have many games? Ignoring Japanese only games, there are more than 20 rpgs out there for the snes. Now, that said, CT would get in the top 10 because of how good it is, but there are a ton of rpgs for the snes out there, only overtaken by the PS1 due to longevity of the system. 11 years compared to 8 years.

If you get her pregnant, go and see Dr. Acula.

Is the combat similar in the XIII sequels, or did it change?

kind of similar, but more refined as the games went by. Though 13-3s was garbage from what I remember.

Oh, I know. They also defend FF12 like Nintendo fans defended the Wii.

12 was much better than 13 though and I enjoyed 13 quite a bit (Sequels, not so much).

see, I'm the opposite....kind of.... I enjoyed 13, and loved 13-2, but hated 13-3. 12 was garbage though, as I've previously said, I can't stand it.

but I don't feel that it's the direction the series needs to take.

and yet it is

agree to disagree. I hate the new action rpg system that they took, and I finished the damn game. Hell, their crowning moment didn't come until the very end with the Pitioss Ruins.

FF15 is just another example that they are willing to release an unfinished product if it means they will please their Publisher overlords.

Its bad enough they did it with Final Fantasy 14, to the point where they had to hire on a brand new staff to redo the entire game and issue a public apology for its badness, but to release another Final Fantasy game which had huge chunks of the game missing from it, all because they gave up on Tetsuya Nomura for Hajime Tabata, whose accolades include FF Type 0, and Crisis Core. Not to mention he only worked on off games prior. None of which were amazing.

Even Nomura came out and said that FF15 took a direction that was away from his vision of the game. The guy had a hand in both FF6 and FF7s story, which are both critically acclaimed. He hasn't had a story role since those games in any of the final fantasy games, which is a shame. Clearly the guy knew what he was doing.

FF2 wasn't even that bad of a game. Sure the mechanics were a bit strange but it was still better than the worst FF game FF3 for the NES.

bump

No.... Kresnik was right, FF12 was one of the worst Final Fantasy games to date. Terrible storyline, god awful graphics even on a tube tv, and a cast of characters I honestly couldn't give a flying fuck about.

It suffered from the same problems as FF15 does. The wrong characters are highlighted as the final villains of the game, over complicating the storyline instead of having a flowing storyline. I mean we have Vaan who is the main character. He should have been a super bitter character pissed off against the empire because his brother was killed off in the first 2 minutes of the game. But no, instead of we get a whiny character who doesn't even mention the above 99 percent of the story, save for 2 very small parts of the game.

It could have been amazing, had Basch been the main character, it kept the airship system from the 9 below games, and Vaan was a character who had to learn to get over his hatred over the entire game.

My best friend growing up was a midget, 3'9. He would much rather be called Midget than a dwarf. You can make fun of Dwarves more than you can make fun of Midgets.

looking specifically for sleeves, giant deck boxes and the like. Don't need cards....any more cards lol. Just accessories.

Also not looking for counters, or dice as I can get them at my local dollar shop.

FF6 and Terranigma I can agree with. I'd probably toss in Tale of Phantasia as my 3rd.

turn-based
airships
overworld
moogles(the fat bears, not the skinny ones)
team turn-based(3-4 characters, all usable unlike in FF13)

Thought of another one for an entirely different reason. The Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth+. I have almost 4,000 hours put into that game and I still don't have everything unlocked. RNG Jesus take the wheel.

I've heard Ragnarok Online was quite the grind-fest.
