Warning:
Ice Storm In Texas Leads To Deadly 100-Car Pileup.
Yes... 100. That is not a typo and that thumbnail below is a sample of the madness that are the icy Texas roads right now.
EDIT: it was actually 130 cars involved, despite the headline claiming only 100. At least six people currently dead (maybe more) and a shit load of serious injuries and a shit load of destroyed vehicles.
Stay home or you will be at risk for something like this:

Texas roads are fucked up right now. Extremely dangerous.

Isn't Paramount's service just a rebranding of CBS's service?

Yeah, CBS All Access is being rebranded as Paramount +.

It'd be Kybella. I'm not sure I haven't done the consultation. I read it can be up to $800 a syringe and depending on severity you may need 4 syringes. But mine isn't super severe. Most people tell me they can't notice whatever issue I have with my chin but it really bothers me.

If they want to do actual lipo I'm going to ask them to do my stomach too because once you pay for the anesthetic the additional services aren't that much more.

$800 is a good price (while some places charge a little less, most of those cheap places that charge less don't know what they are doing, so for something like this it's best to just pay $800 and get proper results). I've heard good things about Kybella so it should have some very good results.

i'm really concerned guys, she informed me while she was at work and she plans on keeping it, ok?

How much money do you have saved up for the child support payments that are going to kick in once her husband figures out that the kid isn't his and he ends up leaving her and she is looking for child support payments?

Sami Zayn is an anti-political extremist (and former WWE intercontinental champion).
Long story short: he hates ALL politicians (and if there are any he likes I guarantee he will eventually hate them in the future):

I recently had a political post marked as "offensive" and another mod overturned it.

This leads me to believe that some of the system works, is peer reviewed and they are at least trying to police themselves.

@F1areaGaman

Yeah, I think some of them are trying to be more fair since they realize that if they censor various political thoughts too much this place can turn into the censorship hellhole that is Resetera (and if that happens tons more message board users will leave out of frustration which will cause ad revenue to start dropping hard. That is when this place will stop getting top dollar ads like HBO Max and will start getting shitty local ads, which is what Resetera mostly gets with a FEW national ads like Amazon Prime video on occasion, which don't pay out as well compared to Warner Bros / AT&T / HBO Max stuff). It still needs improvement (gotta let people express their views more freely on the entire political spectrum from right to left and the middle. It also makes it more fun for users if they can debate various points of views freely), but some of them are trying to improve things.

Than why do we still have mods?

@Wii_Shaker

The site pulls in enough traffic from non-registered users who come here to check out the FAQs for various games and codes for older games. The traffic causes advertisers (like the HBO Max ads which pay out a nice amount of money) to want to pay money to advertise on this site. And this site still gets high profile advertisers (like the HBO Max ads being one example. We aren't getting bargain dollar store ads here).

As for registered users who use the message boards, while there is still a decent amount of people using the message boards, that number has been noticeably heavily declining. I think you already know the reasons why people are fleeing here and going to other websites (especially during the year 2020 where certain heavy restrictions towards certain users with certain opinions about certain events happening during 2020 have been put in place. People don't like being censored and would rather leave and go somewhere else to have more free discussion about certain things).

Finally, even if the website were REALLY, REALLY dead (no advertisers, almost no traffic from non-registered users, ALL the boards being near dead, etc) mods of some type would still be highly necessary to prevent sickos from posting highly illegal stuff and turning this site into something out of the deep dark web (especially with the ability to upload pics on this site into topics). Mods of some type are still necessary.

^THIS.
As someone who regularly watches most CW shows (see my sig below) it's VERY rare that I see CW shows live as they are airing on TV. 98% of the time I tend to wait the next day when the new episode shows up on the CW app for streaming and the vast majority of the time I will use my Roku to watch anything on the CW app on a big screen TV (on the rare occasion I'll watch the episodes on a phone if I am away). I don't watch CW on traditional TV (so I don't factor into their TV ratings), but I do watch them a lot on the CW app streaming on my Roku.

This is how most CW fans (like myself) watch CW shows:

Its too bad that their risky financial investments arent working out. They should try to look for other, more stable sources of income.

So if all these landlords decide to up and leave, what happens to the renters? I think it's at least 40% (probably more) of U.S citizens who rent. That's one hell of a homeless situation that's going to happen if all landlords decide to call it quits all at once.

Rick Astley for the win.
Never going to give you up... never going to let you down...
The origins of the "Rick Rolled" joke has to do with how a lot of people heard this song over the radio and assumed he was some 6 foot 8, 300 pound African American man:

@SavageGlum100 I barely know anyone who's played DragonView. great unique game

I never knew about Dragon View back during the SNES days (apparently it had a North American limited release on SNES during 1994). I found out about Dragon View when I got an Evercade this year and it was on the Piko collection volume 1. Dragon View is REALLY EXCELLENT so far. I'm playing more of it later tonight.

Sopranos (I finished seasons 1 and 2 and I'm starting season 3 on HBO Max) and Dragon View (a 16-bit action RPG that originally released on SNES, but it got rereleased this year on a cartridge as part of the Piko collection on the Evercade. I'm playing it now on the Evercade).

You are suppose to hold the Nintendo 64 controller in a certain way depending on what type of game you are playing. If for EXAMPLE you are playing a first-person shooter like Golden Eye, then you hold it the way seen in the first pic below (and there is the "Z Trigger" underneath which makes it easy for one's pointer finger to use it like a gun trigger, which was perfect for first person shooters).

If one is playing a fighting type game like, for EXAMPLE, a wrestling game (WWF No Mercy, WCW / NWO Revenge, etc) you hold the controller like the third / last picture below.

Some other games gave the option of using the way the controller is held in the middle second pic below (the Turok games gave players that optional control scheme to play their games in that way).

The Nintendo 64 controller was VERY COMFORTABLE and EASY to use if you used it in the correct way for whatever game you were playing. Most Instruction manuals and some games that had in-game tutorials or had the controls listed in an in-game menu would show how to hold the N-64 controller for their game.

^THIS.
The Nintendo 64 controller is an excellent controller. And Nintendo went out of their way to show people all the different ways to hold that damn controller. This below is an example. It came with the Nintendo-64 game F-Zero X. It seriously shows you how you how to hold the controller (this isn't complicated at all. If five year old me from the late 90's can figure this out, anyone can figure this out):



And as seen here from this 90's news program, this little 1st grader was able to figure out how to use the controller properly while playing Super Mario 64, even without reading the manual:

^THIS fucking abomination.
I own 24 different consoles and that Atari Jaguar controller is the fucking worst.
To compare it to other console controllers that have been mentioned, when the CD-i was rebranded as a video game console in 1994 (when it came out during 1991 with the "wand remote", it was branded as a multi-media device where while it did have a FEW games, but was NOT focused on games and the few games it did have could use that wand remote thing since they were more menu / point and click driven games. It wasn't till 1994 when someone brand new at Phillips took over the CD-i and rebranded it as a video game console and released more traditional video games on it like platformers, brawlers, etc. I even have the CD-i magazines from the 90's explaining this) the 1994 CD-i's that looked like consoles had these controllers which looked like three button Genesis controllers and they are wonderful and were ultra comfortable to use.

The 5200 controller, when it wants to work (WHEN it wants to work. LOL), is actually an excellent controller. Yes, you have to get use to the fact that it uses analog for it's stick, but once you do it's pretty good (aside from worrying whether the stupid thing is going to fail on you and you have to take it apart and clean it to get it to work again). Bottomline, it's pretty good when it works.

The Intellivision controller, while awkward as hell at first, is actually really good once you get use to it.

Nintendo 64's controller kicked ass. It looks weird, but it was comfortable and nice.

The Sega Saturn 3D controller is awesome!!!

But that mother fucking Atari Jaguar controller? Here's the problem with it: the D-pad SUCKS because it's incredibly hard on your thumb and it fucking HURTS your thumb. This is not noticeable in some games, but try playing a game that requires a lot of rapid, split second movements and you WILL feel the pain in your thumb. It's NOT a fun controller to hold after a while either. I ended up spending close to $100 on the six button pro Atari Jaguar controller (where the D-pad is noticeably improved) because of how horrible the three button Jaguar controller is. Also, the six button controller has six face buttons and left and right shoulder buttons which makes playing games far easier (as oppose to the three button controller where some of the commands are on the stupid number pad and it's a pain in the ass to look down and press a button down there while in the heat of battle).
