- Comment on GTA 6 soundtrack reveal revives digital release debate 4 days ago:
I thought this was going to have more to do with license rights ending and it will be removed from the game which means it will no longer be the same game, but on physical games the original OST will always exist. But it wasnt, it just talks about the irony of them releasing a physical OST for the release instead.

My friend was preaching for weeks now that he absolutely has to buy this game, but already knew it was going to be booty and hated that he was going to waste money on this. Guess he was right.
- Comment on Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker? 1 week ago:
Haven’t played, but the more I hear the more I want to. Kind of broke for the next few months, plus these next few months are stacked with the most amount of games I actually want to buy in years… so this one may be left till a discount and then buy late in the year or early next year.
For reference I have only purchased like 1 game in the past few years and that was Clair Obscure day one of its release. So having like 5 or so games that I really want to buy in the next 3ish months is crazy. And yes i still play a bunch of games, just been ones a friend will let me borrow or the free games on PS+ which has been more than enough to keep me occupied.
- Comment on How common were video game scalpers in the 1990s? 1 week ago:
Not sure, but my experience is when I was a kid my parents told me later on that they couldn’t really afford to get me a console, but they were able to get one for a fraction of the price by buying one off the back of a truck which was a lot more common back then for lower income neighborhoods. Lots of stolen goods sold locally that way as long as you had the hookup. As for games the only thing I remember was in the 90s some of my asian friends had some awesome toys from chinatown. They had this adapter that plugged into the snes and it played games that were on cards which were basically copied roms so you didnt have to buy full games anymore. My mind was blown at the time. Idk about scalpers, but this was what I remember for that market at the time.

Yeah i read the same thing a while back. I was shocked when I read that it was way more different from the first to the point that it is emulating switch 1 games because its not compatible. So starting from scratch sadly.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 1 week ago:
This is officially the first Switch 2 release I am sad because I don’t have a Switch 2 and won’t be able to anytime soon… at least this fall is stacked with a ton of other great releases. Hopefully next year ill be able to get one.

Welcome to the current state of all video games. It’s more than a theme these days to rally people to hate on everything game related, it is it’s own group of people who have found a market to complain or make up controversies to get views and subscribers. It’s not just GTA its most games that end up having some crazy thing to complain about to stir the pot. I’ve been sick of this trend for years now. Anyone who actually loves games should always be celebrating a new release and not caring about stuff like is this game woke… thankfully I avoid most social media and don’t watch those videos on youtube, but sometimes i hit it by mistake or see some article online hearing about what preasure the game is facing.

This guy reminds me more and more of the rich guy in Silo. Specifically the last 2 episodes of the new season. Not gonna say why because of spoilers, but yeah I think that rich guy wanted the same thing this rich guy wants and one spoiler, it doesnt really work out very well for the people.

Thanks for the tip. I will look into this. Im sure my bank does a lot of things I know nothing about.

Onions, peppers, cherry tomatoes, weird block chicken cubes, and 1 random suasage.
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 3 weeks ago:
It’s exactly what my father does for places. He can’t stand these fees and if whatever service he is paying has them then a check will be sent. He says it’s what hes uses to anyway since that is how he had done it most of his life.
I love that mentaility and wish I could do the same, but sadly I just want it to be known its paid right away and also since i live paycheck to paycheck waiting weeks on end for random checks to be cashed will be impossible for me to not accidentally use some of that money elsewhere.

- Comment on Fogey-assed old dude says 5 weeks ago:
For me its following the top 10 most downloaded albums of the day, week, month from private torrent trackers! They normally know whats up. I tried spotify years ago and was very hit or miss on what it threw at me and didnt care for it. It almost felt like some of the suggestions were there for reasons other than it’s good and that annoyed me.
- Comment on YUM 5 weeks ago:
As someone who lives in 1 of those areas and visited Texas once 3 years ago I agree… I never had bbq ever like that before. Thats all we did for 3 days straight, bbq, brewery, bbq, brewery, concert festival at night. Best trip I had in a long time.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 5 weeks ago:
Oh I know, nothing really truly dies and I think there was a resurgance at one point, but I was more referring to when the default switched to USB at least for business model purchases.
- Comment on The legendary PS2 5 weeks ago:
That connection was around longer than people may think. My first job in IT was 2006 and I swear that it was still the standard for Dell PC’s with the keyboard and mouse that came with them. I wanna say it didnt really switch over to USB fully until around 2010.
I just remember the one thing I hated about it is if you didnt have it plugged in before starting the PC you had to restart once it was because it just wouldnt work unless it was seen at boot.

- Comment on [drugs] what does LSD feel like? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah i apologize, looking back on it some more your probably right. We got there around 2-3pm and did it almost immediately. I think the waves were done around 8-9pm do your right. I would say i could still feel it slightly for a few more hours after that but it was very minimal at that point and probably just intensified by alcohol and weed. Another plus for shrooms since they dont last as long.
- Comment on success 5 weeks ago:
Our dishwasher died like 3 years ago. It was leaking water as well we found out later. Havent had the money to replace it for years plus I dont wanna know the damage done and having it replaced could bring more issues i can’t afford… instead we got a smaller rv countertop washer and been using that ever since. Its to small to do everything but will do all the kids cups and silverware fine. I just got a sink full of bigger dishes just like this forever waiting for me to finish or I wash the ones i need right before cooking lol. Depression sucks.
- Comment on [drugs] what does LSD feel like? 5 weeks ago:
Only done it a few times with friends. First time was at a bachelor party at a semi remote cabin. Our one friend had experience doing it and even did recommended doses for each person. I feel like my experience varied from what others have stated here. It was great though, time is lost and the 2 to 3 hours that it lasts really feels like 6 hours have passed. Depending on how much you do can change what you experience. For me it meant things felt wavy especially if you get yourself into a small room like a bathroom where its extremely noticeable. Conversations are mostly nonsense and the littlest things trigger uncontrollable laughing that lasts for minutes to the point your crying and expect your jaw to hurt. Honestly a lot of the effects reminded me a lot of shrooms, but the high is more intense and cleaner if that makes sense. I didnt have any crazy revelations or changes in life, but you definitely feel good for the next week like your recharged and some worries are lifted. If I ever get the opportunity to do it again i would.

This is my wife… I then had to explain to her multiple times that yes you do like onions and also garlic. I know this because over 90% of the things I cook include one or the other or both!
- Comment on Playing Zelda Windwaker in 2026. Should I just emulate CEMU Wii U version or wait for decomp? 5 weeks ago:
Oh boy, this brings back memories… I forgot all about that but man did I hate that part. I struggled for a while because it was just so boring. I barely made it and this is when I was still powering through games. If I had to do that over today I would have put the game down and never came back. I also remember being one of the few people who did not like the game and it was mostly due to this part.

- Comment on BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just introduced the Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act — a bill to guarantee at least two weeks of paid vacation to every full-time worker in America. Over 90 other members of Cong… 1 month ago:
Don’t forget the psychological effect that it has on people that makes most people take less time off. Also the company can benefit from it by no longer having to agree to accrued time which means if the setup had people bankng time they would be paid out on it when they retire, leave, or get fired. This allows them to save all that money each person had been saving. If the company is willing to set things up like this you should always be asking how do they benefit from this change.
It’s crazy to think the majority or people working are all to young to know that at one time companies actually did try to come up with real incentives to keep its employees happy.
- Comment on Arizona teas at $1.59… we used to be a proper country. 1 month ago:
Almost all stores near me are selling them for this same deal. Quickcheck is the one that comes to mind. The funny thing that I found is that the food stores have had almost never ending sales for the cans now marking them at .66 cents a can now. It’s now the only place I will buy them. From my understanding Arizona wants the price to be .99 cents but my theory is since stores are now selling them for higher prices they somehow made deals with grocery stores to sell for less so that it evens out or the hope that people do what i do and just buy them for the cheaper price leaving the higher priced ones to sell less.
