I honestly have no idea, but I suppose it could be the lead. My own mother is bonkers and is starting to remind me of the crazy old mother from Requiem for a Dream,

I see you have met my in-laws. This isn’t just some boomer humor, they have truly transcended their Fox News addicted roots and now get really angry about aliens, chemtrails, and all sorts of bullshit.

Yeah, that is an accurate description. A couple four loko could make your evening into a Fear and Loathing style event worthy of legend.

I hadn’t even thought about that, it makes total since being derived from Greek. I am not fully on team octopodes.

Four Loko was the start and eventual downfall of many wild and ultimately regrettable times.

I’m not sure I’d call Outer Worlds “fantastic”, but I’d probably still call it “good” which still holds up against he higher up comment saying they haven’t made any good games since. It reminded me of the first Mass Effect game in a way, it was a KOTOR game with the soul stripped out of it. Outer Worlds was just FNV with far less soul and in space. I didn’t run into any bugs while playing on release though, which was a nice surprise.

That day one experience was the only thing that made it feel like a Bethesda game. I had that exact same experience in Daggerfall, Morrowing, Oblivion, and Fallout 3.

I feel like we were getting scammed in the US then. I, in the US, was paying over $20 for Atari 2600 games and over $50 for some fairly early NES games. I know Mastertronic was mostly for cheap Sega games

That was the first thing that I thought of as well.
- Comment on Miss me 3 weeks ago:
Not the point of your story, but when the hell were LPs and video games that cheap. I would think that any time that LPs were that cheap would be before video games even existed.

Yeah, those wasps are assholes, just not quite as much of assholes as yellow jackets. Weirdly enough, I’ve been stung by everything on this list that is capable of doing so including bumble bees. Bees hate me and I hate them, but I still refrain from killing them because we need them around.

It’s almost like the meme died and came back to torment the living.
- Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend? 4 weeks ago:
As I said, they sounded decent, very decent for the price, I just found them uncomfortable. Headphones don’t need to be expensive to be good.
- Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend? 4 weeks ago:
There was a string of IEMs, almost all of them Chinese brands like KZT, that were all lauded as “sounds better than $500 IEMs, only cost $10!!!” that were way over hyped for a while. And I bought many/most of them because they were so cheap and then usually gave them away because they were not the magic thing the hype insisted.
- Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend? 4 weeks ago:
In my case, It was the shape of the enclosure that caused me discomfort, not the tips. I have tried pretty much all of the meme IEMs, most of them didn’t work well for me, but I can still say that they sounded quite good for the price. Comfort is king when it comes any sort of headphone for me though. I usually prefer larger over ear headphones except when I am traveling. Right not my Etymotics are my go to IEMs.

I have that book on my bookshelf. It didn’t make me cry nearly as much as some C++ books.
- Comment on Double Dragon And River City Creator Yoshihisa Kishimoto Has Passed Away 4 weeks ago:
River City Ransom is one of my favorite NES games of all time. One of my most complete homebrew games (informally called River City Ripoff) was a persistent multiplayer game that was essentially the same game, but with a bigger world. I even used the sprites. I couldn’t ever release it for obvious legal reasons, but it was run to play with some friends when testing it. I wished they had made something like it when they were doing those Steam sequels.

I didn’t find them comfortable at all, but some people clearly do.
- Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend? 4 weeks ago:
I was really, really unhappy with my KZ ZST. They did sound good for the price, but they did not hold up at all and I found them uncomfortable for extended use.
- Comment on Which wired earbuds do you recommend? 4 weeks ago:
I own the er3se and they are my favorite. They have great passive noise isolation and don’t get uncomfortable really quickly like most earbuds/IEMs.

I imagine your circulatory system would be like a game of Pac-Man and the cocaine would give him the power pill. This seems easy, should I have been a doctor?
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, a single NES game was tough for a kid to save up for. I was usually able to do various chores around the neighborhood and be able to buy a game every few months. I distinctly remember that Zelda II was $52 and Metal Gear was $48 and I earned the money myself as a little kid. Those two games specifically were worth the effort. I’d have been pissed if I spent that hard earned money on Ghostbusters.
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 5 weeks ago:
I think you misunderstood the context actually. I was indeed young when I played E.T., but I wasn’t a fan of the game (or movie really) ever. The game was very very frustrating to basically everyone that played it and I hate it so very much. I was actually glad to see that the rest of the human race hated it once the internet became common, it made me feel more in tune with the rest of society. All that being said, I think Superman 64 is a worse game and I consider that almost an accomplishment in itself.

So what you’re saying is that potatoes are a helluva drug.

Not a high bar, but perhaps you’re right. I played a LOT more E.T. so I am for sure biased.

Good call on this one. Ghostbusters was such a shitty game.
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 5 weeks ago:
Ah fair enough, I guess that technically disqualifies it from the post. Regardless, I feel it was good to spread awareness of what a piece of shit it was!
- Comment on What was the worst movie to game adapation you've played? 5 weeks ago:
Total Recall was quite bad, as were most NES movie based games. Dark Man and Nightmare on Elm Street were also really bad. I loved the Nightmare on Elm Street movies as a kid, so I really wanted it to not suck.

I haven’t played it, but man, that screams “bad game”.
