Oh no the Jewish fee fees

Meanwhile Palestinian babies are starving to death in bombed out hospitals.

We can't have big booty threads anymore but blatant antisemitism is a-ok. What a wonderful place this site has become.

There is a Christmas short that is also good in the "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas" anthology movie where Max thinks his dad is an idiot for believing in Santa Claus. Kelsey Grammer does the narration, maybe you guys have all seen it? For a direct to video Christmas special it's really good.

I think it's cheaper to manufacture if the vehicle has more glass. So they come up with a "feature" that actually cuts corners and upcharge you at the same time.

I think it's probably OK as general small talk but I wouldn't bring it up. Now, of the girl is getting super personal with questions pertaining to how many kids you want to have and when you want to get married that might be a red flag for me.

dq didnt get great until dq3 imo. 1/2 arent worth playing today

Nah, I got both those games last year at my local used game swap shop. I played them back to back, DQ1 is just a grind fest but maybe worth playing for the history. DQ2 is amazing for how improved it is. Once you get the ship it basically turns into an open world RPG. It's properly hard, too, unlike the 1st game where you can just grind yourself up in levels and keep making progress.

The NES game is where it's at, you actually get encounters like this...You'll never see this in any of the remakes.

Most Millennials probably wont own a house anytime soon. Where do you live?

Maybe Gen Z... Millennials had every opportunity to get cheap real estate with the cheapest mortgage rates ever seen, which is a combination that will probably never happen again in our lifetimes.

Have you guys seen Sandler's newest movie "Spaceman"? I thought it was pretty good but, like many of his movies, it had mixed reviews.

The only scene I remember from that movie was when Sandler's character had his butler whack his foot with a fireplace poker.

It's fine to blame & condemn Hamas for their behavior but there is no equivalence between the two at this point and bringing it up feels like it's deliberately in bad faith considering the sheer magnitude of the war crimes the IDF is currently committing.

Israel had made peace and given Hamas what they've wanted over the years. Hamas just uses the down time to build up weapons, dig tunnels, and wait for their chance to break the peace. I don't know why people think the IDF was going to let it slide this time. After 9/11 the USA invaded 2 countries and we didn't get nearly the backlash Israel is facing.

It is strange seeing so many people sympathetic to Hamas here. Maybe we should go back and post pictures of what they did on October 7.

I ran over a yellow jacket hole and they got angry and chased me inside the house, one got stuck inside my baggy T-Shirt and kept stinging me until he died.

I pay a guy now. He works for a regular landscaping company during the week and makes pocket money under the table on the weekends. $65 every two weeks to mow, blow, and go. He has a commercial zero turn so he gets it all done in like 45 minutes.

Because it's not that damn hard. What is this confirmation bias shit where a literal dude who works in a warehouse goes "this is too hard" and now the ENTIRE INTERNET thinks this comfortably easier-than-average game is some omega level Pantheon of Hollowness garbage?

I mean gracious, its own predecessor was a much harder game.

It's a hard game compared to the original, but I agree that anyone can beat it with a little practice. However, half the Internet thinks the TMNT dam level is boarderline unbeatable and it makes the game one of the hardest on NES, even though that level is pathetically easy compared to areas 4-6. Sometimes I think the casual NES gamer has no concept on what is *really* hard.

What about this board? Can we talk about sex there? Marriage/home life/careers/etc..

I was showing off Soul Blazer and Castlevania IV a few years ago to my young nephew. To him, the Gamecube and PS2 were the consoles he remembers. He was shocked that SNES games on a real CRT TV (with inky blacks and the subtle blurring effect to mask the low resolution) combined with an external audio receiver/speakers looked and sounded so good. He didn't believe me at first that I was showing him games from the early 90s.

I don't like how you have to backtrack to kill useless no challenge enemies because you don't have the right sword when you first fight them. Other than that it's a great game with fantastic music.

At least you actually have the option to backtrack and retrace your steps for missables, something you can't always do in other games. And there are only maybe, what 3 or 4 items you are intended to backtrack for? Some metal enemies in the 1st and 3rd worlds, and some spirit enemies in one of the temples of the 2nd world.

The music is good, even if I wish there was more of it. The map music is awesome, but most people never sit and listen to it because it takes like a few seconds at most to select where you are going.

One thing this game really nails is the fun magic system, something Terranigma falls flat with. If only the regular enemies were more of a challenge instead of just appearing out of portals and beelining slowly towards you.

I've replaced a starter on a newish Honda Accord and it wasn't that bad. I'm not a very good mechanic but it was a simple bolt on part. I remember it was dusk and the biggest problem was having my Wife shine a dim flashlight in the engine bay so her car would be ready for work in the morning.

But we were poor then, these days I wouldn't think twice about paying only $100 in labor to have a professional get it done.

I would order Five Guys and then maybe Chipotle later in the week, and then all the credits would be gone just like that.

Bowling the crab alive is probably what intrigued me. That and he's making ramen using some portable electric flat grill.

I would assume a grill like that is all you can use in the sleeper cab of a truck.

Shin ramyun is great, I never thought of having sausage with it. And damn, that was a lot of green onion. I usually just drop an egg in the water for the last minute it's cooking, it makes the broth like an egg drop soup. Then If I have some fresh green onion I'll use like one sprig of it.

I hope it's facesitting

What a wild ride lmao

good episode tbh

I just got around to watching it.. It was pretty good and you could tell James was just trying something different by filming all his reactions with the suposed "new" phone he just got to play the game on. His laughs looked genuine like he was just having a good time throwing together a more simple episode that just reveled in the sheer rediculousness.

pazzy posted...

I'd say he is about the same. He's generally a decent watch, but sometimes an episode is a dud.

Not all videos are winners. He does more with the entirety of his site but unfortunately most people don't give it enough attention.

I think people are pointlessly harsh on YouTube content providers sometimes.

The last couple episodes were really good, Goonies and FFVI. Other than that, I don't really have any good memories from 2023 videos except Kid Icarus which was another excellent one.

Since when is a mid 40's man going bald such a surprise and big fucking deal. "Yeah, that's why his videos suck now, he's getting old at the same rate his viewers are!"

On the other hand, I get why people at the very least wish James would come out and make some changes to his AVGN character's persona. They actually make some really good, ultra-realistic hair pieces these days. Combine a high quality toupee with a good barber and no would ever know. The problem is, he's let his hair go for so long it would shock the viewers and he would get even more ridicule from the CinemassacreTruth brigade.

Having it for dinner. Definitely better than the chicken strips.

Really? Their chicken strips are top tier fast food strips. One of the only places I know of that serves them with hot gravy, too. Yum.

I've done that before. I've even stored coffee in my tank bag but the cup had to be the right height to snuggly stay put when I zipped it up.

Awesome, something to watch tonight. I feel like the Goonies episode was only a month or so ago and it was pretty long so I assume this one is a more bite sized AVGN episode.

Rad Racer

I was actually playing Rad Racer 2 last weekend and me and my friend beat it.

I remember when it first came out the Mexican Runner did a stream of it. I believe he started with Squier level and I think he was surprised at how badly he was having his ass handed to him.

He must of kept practicing, though, because I just checked and he has a 22m49s speedrun clear on Legend difficutly, good for 3rd place.

Only in video game form. I have a billiards game on Switch that has Snooker in it. Turns out Snooker is pretty cool. But I'll probably never have an opportunity to try it in real life. But its a lot more interesting than standard pool

Yeah, I have an 8 foot table in my basement and it just *barely* fits with room all the way around. Most pool halls around me don't have a snooker table unless they are in an old warehouse or something where space isn't an issue. Also, it's a harder game to play by far, so it's not as popular. Maybe 1 or 2 pool halls in my city have one. The Dave and Busters near my house has a 10 footer, but I'm not sure how it plays compared to the real 12' table.

Drunk_Cobra posted...

At the risk of looking dumb, it's literally just pool/billiards right.

Different rules, bal size, pocket size, table size. No numbers on the balls. 12' x6' table. Other than that, similar game.

I bought some for my kids recently, thinking they were still a "hip and cool" quick solution for lunch at school or even on a weekend at home. I always thought they were great.

Then I tried one myself and was disgusted. Did my tastes change or have they done so much cost-cutting in the past 20-30 years that they barely resemble what they used to be?

Rooting against Israel in a conflict with Iran is some primo brainrot

Even Jordan is helping Israel shoot down the drones/missiles, or at least it's being reported in a blurb about 3/4 down this page.

Lets be honest, not many countries in the middle east like Iran at all.

Likely be game of the year for me. Defect was my least favorite character and i love scythes so i definitely like how things are looking.

I just fooled around with Defect today and ended up with this deck. I beat a few of the elites in 1 turn, and the heart in 4 turns. I didn't put the rest of the deck because of file size limits, but I also have two Seek cards, two Zaps, and two Holograms, all upgraded.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/2d1e6fdb.jpg

Yes it's only Accession 1 but I just put the game on my phone and I'm working my way up the rankings. Defect has the most unique builds and is the most fun for me. Ironclad and the Silent have like 2 good strategies each.

Looks like shit, but I'm not surprised journalists love the safe, take no sides civil war movie about "neutral" journalists. It'll be interesting to see how the general audience's reaction compares. I like this blurb from one of the negative reviews on Rotten Tomatoes:

Im assuming it doesn't explicitly mention Trump because the author doesn't want it to only be topical to the current political landscape and could be watched in different times and in different countries. It's a warning to all, present and future.

I'm sure there is a wink and a nod to Trumpers anyway.

I haven't read the reviews yet but I'm going to see it.

I wouldn't tip delivery guys dropping off one thing. But I would tip movers who are working for you all day.

Yeah, my rule of thumb is if they have to come in my house to do something (like when I had my dishwasher installed a few months ago) they get a tip. If they drop something on the curb and leave, no tip.

I do. Usually $5-10.

I like it with broth if it's good instant ramen like Shin.

Cheap stuff I always drain the water out.

Or you can buy Indomie noodles, which specifically tells you to mix the FIVE seasoning packs together on a plate/bowl, then put all the drained noodles in and mix it. If you don't have an Asian market, my Kroger has it.

Taco Bell has lost their Goddamn minds with these prices. $3 for a Doritos Locos taco when it takes like at LEAST 4 of them to fill you up. Yeah, you can get a combo deal but it's still over $10. They used to be cheap but I can seriously get better food for cheaper at a real Tex-Mex restaurant or food truck here in the area.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/3fe5ab9b.jpg

Oh, and I'll also add the the real tacos come with maybe a tablespoon of meat and of you're lucky maybe half the lettuce and cheese are in the shell.

There was a total eclipse that ran right through the USA 7 years ago and I don't remember anyone freaking out. WTF changed?

Wow, look for pier runners and put them on tik Tok? They don't even put them on YouTube anymore, any of you think it is wrong to post those videos, maybe blur out their face

Oh yeah, and it's mostly middle-aged women, I've noticed. Just type Pier Runners on YouTube and there's probably hundreds of examples.

I don't much care for cruises or the type of people who go on them

Like regular people? Its one of the few all-inclusive and somewhat luxurious vacations a person of middle class status can afford these days. I actually have 2 cruises booked this year.

Some people like to wait on the top deck right before the ship leaves port so they can watch for "Pier Runners" as they are called. Then they film them and put them on TikTok or whatever so other people can shame them.

Literally advocating committing war crimes. You can't attack Russia for blowing up the Kakhovka Dam then support Taiwan doing the same. Not surprising coming from the Israel apologist who think that their war crimes are excusable because they go to the polls every few years.

I'm sure drowning millions of civilians would endear you to the rest of the world. You think that the Chinese are that stupid to not recognize the strategic importance of the dam in a war and enacted preventative measures?

What I think or or don't think doesn't matter. I merely suggested it was a strategic target in war time, and if Taiwan is attacked it would resort to asymmetric warfare to defend itself and it would do whatever it could to repel the invaders. I actually don't think they would do that unless China threatens nuclear attack or their backs were against the wall.

Did I advocate war crimes? Why are you putting words in my mouth? And Russia seems to get a free pass to destroy dams and power plants in Ukraine as they please and they are the agressors, not the defenders.

China is never going to physically attack Taiwan, they can't afford it.

Russia can't even come close to steamrolling Ukraine and that's a land invasion. All Taiwan has to do is lob some missiles towards the Three Gorges Dam and China would be brought to its knees.

In fact, I don't even think they need to hit the damn, I think they can attack damns further up the Yangtze river and the cascade of water flowing downstream will do the job for them.

I don't like to dig into the obvious "hur during human beings have sex" stuff, but it did have me wondering about the specific legalities of consent. Like....if the other girl doesn't like the husband or whatever but God that's dark.

Or what if Brittany wants to get married to another man (or woman) and they have to make it all work out?

Anyway, I just remembered this thread because I heard Abby's new husband has some baggage, apparently.

Destroying a diplomatic consulate is a literal violation of the Geneva Convention.

More like only Israel has the ability to get away with blatant war crimes. Well, and the U.S., however the world/UN could do far more to Israel than the U.S.

Yeah, Hamas killing 1000 civilians including children and babies as a surprise attack makes them freedom fighters. Why aren't they being tried for those war crimes? Jesus Christ. All Hamas has to do is turn over the hostages and the cease fire will begin.

I'm done with this thread.

Also, believe it or not, but Israel is a democratic liberal country. They have free elections, freedom of the press, woman and LGTB rights, etc...

Also, every country relying on free trade through the Suez Canal is being attacted by the Houthis.
