- Comment on Anon misses flash 4 weeks ago:
I remember a lot of dating sims.
One of them started with a guy in a bathroom shaving and playing techno music before going to find a date.
They had funny as heck endings like the girl spinning on the ceiling fan at the end (During sex). Just crazy stuff.
Anyone remember what they were called? I swear I had them archived but I can’t find them anywhere. I think there were 20-30 of them from the same creator.

- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 1 month ago:
I avoid big channels, anything more then 20 people or so and I go to a smaller channel.
I made good friends over the years on twitch.
- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 1 month ago:
Twitch is a SOCIAL website, you chat with the streamer and they chat back. All these ads do is interrupt the conversation and it’s SICK to me. It ruins the entire experience. I don’t mind the pop up small ads, but the full screen ads with sound just trashed the entire conversation. Always seems to happen when I ask a streamer a question then BAM 6 full screen ads when the streamer starts to answer me. No, I’m not paying for turbo or a sub, I’m f*ing broke right now.

- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 1 month ago:
When I had my wallet all setup, I like to take out all cards and get a photo of the front and back of all cards.
If it’s ever stolen then you can see the photos for the phone to call and report stolen and the card numbers too. You also know what was in the wallet too.

- Comment on Where do you find deals? 2 months ago:
I mostly find movies and shows at thrift stores. We go to different ones each week. Yesterday one of the stores had all the media on sale for $0.50 and some of it like VHS was $0.25. I ended up with about 30 items for $10.

- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 3 months ago:
I think it’s one of the most lazy ways to make a video, and leeching off more popular content.
They are not transforming the content enough to be free use.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 3 months ago:
Sometimes I find it fun to watch a game I will never play, but I also get to chat with the streamer so theres that too.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I can see maybe the parent of a child seeing games as unproductive.
But as an adult it’s a good way to unwind like listening to good music or watching a movie. As long as it’s only for a few hours though, as games can go on and on and on. Some people over do it, and some people have even died from lack of food or breaks.
I really enjoy games, buy them whenever I see them at the thrift stores if I don’t already have the game. Now I have many thousands of games, and no worry about the game companies taking them away from me because these are physical.

- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 3 months ago:
I bought some gold a few years ago, the price has gone up quite a lot since. I invested in small little pieces recovered from a lake somewhere. I figured it’s easier to barter with a tiny piece than a huge coin or bar of gold. It’s only a small part of my portfolio. I decided to invest in a mix of stuff, as you never really know the future. A little bit of cryptos, gold, silver, bullets, canned foods, solar panels, batteries, rain catchment and containers, etc. I also worked on my survival skills, tool skills, crafting skills, etc. it’s a huge way to barter with people when you have skills they need. The biggest thing I invested in is raw land in the middle of nowhere. The land has an RV and working on systems to gather water, power, etc. 99% of the stuff will be solar powered, but we do have a diesel heater, it doesn’t use much fuel as we only use it when it’s really cold.
I think gold is just one of the many things needed to survive if things collapsed. If it’s even needed. It’s just one of those things that makes me feel better as an insurance / just in case. But I feel the other things I have done will make a bigger difference if it ever comes down to it.
