- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 1 week ago:
Battlezone II had force shields. They used your vehicle’s weapon energy. The shields used energy, and also taking hits would drain your energy. You needed a ship with fast energy regen to make the most use out of them. One ship from the X-Mod mod, the Jade Falcon, could actually regenerate faster than the shields drained. So you could keep them on all the time, and still shoot some. It wasn’t invincible by any means, but that regen speed plus the fact that the radar ping twice as frequently made it my absolute favorite ship.

You dry your balls first, then your ass. Then, you get in the shower. After the shower, you use the same towel again to re-apply your musk. Women love it.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 3 weeks ago:
I love headphones. I have quite a few very good pairs. And headphone amps. And portable headphone amps. Ive been in the hobby for about 10 years now, maybe a bit more. My hearing is still excellent (according to hearing tests I’ve had). Aside from my tinnitus, which ive had since I was a kid. Just be mindful of the volume levels.

Oh, I love the show. Especially the monster of the week episodes. They get really weird sometimes.
- Comment on Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍 5 weeks ago:
It’s efficiency. The subject matter is the frank n’ beans, who cares about the rest? Likewise, I would be perfectly content with receiving faceless melons flopped out of a bra.
- Comment on Velma can't math. 1 month ago:
I was making grits the other day. The can had instructions for 1 serving, and 4 servings. I didn’t want 1 or 4, I wanted 2. So, I wrote a quick interpolation program on my Casio. Once I ran it, I realized 2 is just double of 1.

Yeah, I’m with you on that. I will eat them in stuff, like bread.
- Comment on Banana 1 month ago:
Oh, I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Banana bread, delicious. Eating a banana plain, like an ape? Horrid.

The last thing we need is for them to develop nuclear capabilities…
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 1 month ago:
Like, romantically? Or due to your activity?
- Comment on Banana 1 month ago:
Easy. The taste and the texture. Awful.

Never. The audio equivalent of “Needs More JPEG”

- Comment on Why would I buy this? 1 month ago:
I can see somebody inquiring about the amount someone has, and if they would be willing to share any. Boom. On a list.

You’re painting that as if it is a bad thing. I’ve never understood the desire people have to be a part of a larger community.
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 1 month ago:
Never mind. I read some of their replies. You are correct.

No, they aren’t talking about for an interview. They are talking about going in someplace in a suit and asking for a job. My mother insisted I did this when I got out of college. It only took a few receptionists looking at me like I’m crazy to be reaffirmed that this was a dumb idea. Even places that did have openings told me to apply online.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 1 month ago:
I don’t know the difference. I pretty much live in business casual, but on the weekends I will wear a graphic tee instead of a white undershirt. Maybe I leave my button down shirt open. It’s what I would choose to wear in any instance I leave the house. I’m comfortable in my clothes.

Is it a Razer laptop?
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I gave up carrying that torch. Lol. I hoped I could jump-start it, but nobody else seems to be interested.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
Probably around the time they need to get serviced and it costs as much as a Seiko dive watch and takes like 6 weeks.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
I admire the engineering of the solar, tool. It’s really cool that the Eco-Drives don’t even look like they have a panel. Are the dials like, micro perforated or something? I’ve never taken one apart. And the fact that you can store them for like, 6 months and they’ll still have a charge is very nice.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
Sure!
Here is my SKX and an Invicta Pro Diver.
SKX has new hands, dial, chapter ring, crystal, date wheel, bezel insert, and crown. And I ended up doing an NH-35 swap on the 7S26. So basically, just the case is original now.
The Pro Diver has new hands, dial, bezel, bezel insert, high domed acrylic crystal, and I ground the crown guards off.

Hell yeah! Nice collection.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
You sure do! And I love them all. I love modding them, I love wearing them. Love learning about them. I’d say my Seagull chrono gets equal wrist time to the Breitling. I try to keep everything in rotation. Except the George Stockwell trench watch… I’m afraid it might be a touch radioactive due to the radium.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
True, but they are all insured and you can always report the serial number to a database so it gets flagged if it pops up somewhere.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 months ago:
Oh, let’s not add the Seikos to the list. I have plenty of those. SKX007, SRP775, and like 5 or 6 I’ve built with Seiko NH-35 movements. I have a watch with a Seagull ST19 movement. I have some vintage ones, like a Timex Viscount and an Elgin Sportsman. But all of those are $500 and under (mostly under 200) and I don’t look at them as dumb purchases.
