Bubble Bobble online

Nope.

Just started playing it a few days ago because my kids wanted a Wii & Wii-U for christmas.

It's a good game if you like the other Mario games, but a bad game if you really like the Paper Mario games.

Exactly my point when it comes to school shootings. We waste resources across the board on something that is incredibly unlikely to occur in most places.

Some places do need these precautions. Most don't.

94% of school shootings occur in public schools and only 6% in private. Gun violence is an issue in places, but it isn't anywhere near across-the-board in the US like everyone makes it out to be.

101 school shootings in 2 years. it happens all the time.

Using your 101 number:

98,755 public schools
101 shootings
2 years

(101 / 98,755) / 2 = 0.000511% chance of a shooting happening in a given school per year

Lol. Michigan deserved to lose!

Number of mass shootings in The United Kingdom for 2022:

ONE! One mass shooting if you can even call 1 dead 4 injured a mass shooting.

The UK has had SIX mass shootings this CENTURY and 28 since the start of the 20th Century.

Just when the hell is the US going to ban guns?

Congratulations, you are on par or worse than Kansas, Louisiana, Utah, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Washington DC, Arkansas, Arizona, Mississippi, Iowa, Nebraska, New Jersey and Alabama according to this source:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/811541/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-state/

These numbers don't look quite right, but I suppose it all depends on how you define a mass shooting.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


705 in a population of 333, 287, 559 people and 19,000 cities isn't really as big of a problem as the number seems. If it was a small country or confined to a single state, then yes, it would be a gigantic issue.

Another example is that there is about a 0.0003% chance of a school having a shooting in the USA, but the running joke is it happens all the time.

When you look at the big picture, there are much more concerning issues.

I never said mass shootings weren't an issue, just that they aren't really as frequent or as big of an issue as it seems considering the size of the United States. I randomly picked automobiles and drug deaths and they are far greater than gun deaths considering 60% of gun deaths in a year are suicides.

Really not that scary when you compare to other numbers in the USA. The US is huge.

Given a choice, I would prefer driving a manual.

However, I have my car for the next 20+ years and it isn't a manual, so by the time I'm ready to look for my next car I'm sure manual vehicles will be hard to come by.

I think the Sonic movie was the only movie released this year that I liked. I didn't even love it, it was just ok.

Remember when you couldn't open a window on a warm summer night without getting invaded by bugs?
Remember when your parents drove you somewhere and bugs kept splatting on the windshield?

Both of these happened here this summer. . .

Can't speak specifically to one movie, but I did a google search of greatest comedies for each year.

It seems like 2008 or 2009 was the last year with multiple 'good' comedy movies and it gradually gets worse and worse as you get closer to present day.

Not very scientific, but I'd say something like Role Models / Step Brothers / Tropic Thunder.

There are many comedies from previous years that are much better IMO.

Literally everything said in this thread applies to both sides.

Anyone who talks about how bad the other side is can't see the trees for the forest.

1 million isn't a lot in the grand scheme. Keep your limbs, get a decent job and you'll have that when you retire.

People who think small dick energy actually has anything to do with having a small dick probably have insecurities about their small dick

This is like saying people who think the f-word slur has anything to do with being gay probably has insecurities about being gay.

People that know what small dick energy means focus on the energy part.

Very insecure people that don't know what small dick energy means focus on the small part.

SDE is not disparaging or body shaming people for having small dicks. Come on, people.

This post reeks of Fat Chick energy.

(we just add energy to the end and it makes it ok, right?)

Things that are ok to make fun of people for:
Small dick
those who can't get sex
Edit: I think Furries are also on this list.

Earlier today, actually.

Octopath Traveler. I've beaten it 3 times already and easily sunk a couple hundred hours into it.

I have it for PC now, though, and I prefer playing it there.

14.

Yes.

That latter part I doubt is out of a place of hate. A place of misunderstanding more likely. They probably feel the child would have a terrible life. Toss up between that or they just feel it would be too much a burden on themselves

All of these excuses can be used to decide to abort a child you know would be homosexual as well. You are ok with that, yes?

I feel the opposite, in fact.

Desktop is superior in every way. Laptops are very limiting and the keyboard & mouse is always garbage compared to a desktop keyboard & mouse.

The greatest JRPG there has been and may ever be, is Brave Dungeon.

The entire plot is "busty bluehair wants an undefined macguffin", and that's it. Murder things and make the numbers get bigger.

Seriously, posts like this are what makes swimming through the other crap worthwhile. Played and beaten two runs of this already. This game will stay in my regular rotation. Appreciate it!

Contra (NES). Level 5 I think. . .

The only one I can remember seeing is Saving Private Ryan.

Old news is so exciting!!one1!!!

The Empire didn't lose in the original movie, the rebels were just able to destroy the planet-killing space station.

I don't play games on my phone.

I never cared and it never came up in conversations with friends or family.

I always felt that if I got gifts at Christmas from "Santa" it was just a bonus. If not, I wouldn't have cared much, since there were gifts from others.

Feels good to no longer have to carry cash around or worry about how much is in my bank account. Plus I am able to build credit with each purchase that I pay back in full. Kinda regret it took me so long to get on the credit card train.

You still need to do this.

My advice would be to not get a credit card and just get a card that pulls from a checking account. That way you can't spend what you don't have.

Zero doubt it was a better time.

Don't play reborn. Get the good version of the game on PSX or SNES.

Whats going on with Chrome? I heard some part of it was shutting down or something

Chrome will be trying to kill adblockers this year because they get advertising money. Since Edge is based on chromium, that leaves the door open for Firefox or Brave to be the new browser of choice.

Welcome to 1965.

I haven't wrapped anything in a decade or more.

It is all cards and if it won't fit in the card it goes in a bag.

It is going to be a big year of changes. No more Netflix and no more Chrome (or Google in general)

Don't know what to tell you. Closest thing you will ever get to the real thing, so plan on shelling out the $1200 for a used one.

It isn't. I owned the real thing and already sold it long ago and have no desire for another.

Meh, not really great selections, IMO.

I get the most play out of my Donkey Kong arcade game.

Been on the wish-list for a while.

Only games I've been looking forward to more are Octopath Traveler 2, 8-bit Adventures 2 and A Frog's Tale.

Not sure why anyone thinks this is a bad thing.

I worked for about 40 years, and the worst jobs I ever had were the ones with nothing to do, where you just had to stand around and wait.

More work means time goes by faster and the day is done before you know it.

So much this. Jobs where you are looking for things to do are the worst.

Appreciate this link. Don't know if it is the greatest game ever yet, but it scratches the itch and has better gameplay than Chained Echoes so far.

Hah! Playstation? Gen X is too old for that.

Try Arcade machines, Atari, NES, and maybe SNES.
