| Topic | Goldeneye as expected has aged terribly |
| MagnusX 01/29/23 2:21:16 PM #12 | I love that "attempts at Facility on 00 Agent" is a stat to compare with friends on Xbox. 2h16m played, first five levels done on 00, two cheats from those five. Music is still fucking amazing but def hearing compression. I wonder if it's the same files as the cartridge. I love the updated gun images but don't get why they didn't do the same for ammo/etc. |
| Topic | Only people who were alive during the early days of the internet can post ITT |
| MagnusX 01/29/23 1:28:31 PM #61 | I recall connecting with our first 33.6k modem. DSL was mind-blowing in high school. My fibre connection stills fills me with wonder tbh, recalling how long it would take to download garbage quality mp3s (Napster, LimeWire, BearShare), or the horror of trying download a 10 minute 640x480 porn video. We also had a literal yellow pages esque book of web addresses with our first computer (a 386 which I literally still have in a closet in my house). I WISH I kept that marvel of a book. |

| Topic | Bioshock: Could Rapture have worked? *Spoilers* |
| MagnusX 01/29/23 1:07:01 PM #2 | A completely self-sufficient underwater city, with libertarian governance? Lolno |
| Topic | How many different jobs have you worked? |

| Topic | If you were a wrestler or something, what would your entrance music be? |
| MagnusX 01/28/23 10:33:17 PM #21 | I'd love something like dredg's A Walk in the Park, but their Long Days and Vague Clues might suit better. Green Jell's Fight is perfect. https://youtu.be/kwmYCZU3-Mo https://youtu.be/ZGwGmt2MTuE https://youtu.be/ro-Ab3o-01U |
| Topic | Spaghetti-Os, yay or nay? |
| MagnusX 01/26/23 9:32:56 PM #5 | Yay when I was a picky eater as a child, giant nay as an adult who loves food. |
| Topic | Last new-for-you movie you watched? |
| MagnusX 01/25/23 10:44:40 AM #21 | See How They Run a couple days ago. Period piece murder mystery with loads of tropes, not great, not bad. The Menu a couple days before that. Surreal commentary on modern consumption, that's not a horror movie until it is. Weird and very good. |
| Topic | How many influencers have you met? |
| MagnusX 01/22/23 10:37:40 AM #7 | Thankfully zero. Influencers are not a type of person I care to spend time with. |
| Topic | Do you play D&D? |
| MagnusX 01/19/23 12:42:01 PM #70 | I theoretically enjoy playing it, but not in reality. Didn't really try until an adult and my job is shift work, so I rarely had the same time free that my teacher friends did when we played a campaign last year. I also don't enjoy the actual rpg elements and would rather just listen to everyone else talk - I want to absorb a story, not create it - but do love the combat. |
| Topic | Got confirmation from reputable psychic that I'm spiritually connected to a girl |
| MagnusX 01/18/23 6:36:50 PM #54 | Smashingpmkns posted... Psychics aren't real but ask her out anyways. |
| Topic | Whats your side hustle? |
| MagnusX 01/17/23 5:17:32 PM #15 | Nothing, thankfully. We both have 35 hour/week union jobs, she makes double what I do, and we have no kids, so we're quite comfortable as is and there's no need to work after working. |
| Topic | So I'm watching Are You Afraid of the Dark. |
| MagnusX 01/17/23 10:14:43 AM #19 | Well shit, I dont know how I missed the movie entirely. Will have to check it out sometime soon, thanks! |
| Topic | Would Guitar Hero be alive and well today if they didn't make so many? |
| MagnusX 01/17/23 10:08:59 AM #28 | Couldn't care less if GH still exists because they flooded the market and RB4 is alive and well, releasing new songs every week (picked up Groove is in the Heart two weeks ago). They recently got bought by Epic, who also bought Bandcamp, so I imagine there will be a constant stream of dlc for a while yet. I have over 1600 songs in my RB4 library and play with my regular Yamaha ekit. HMX, uh, forever! |
| Topic | So I'm watching Are You Afraid of the Dark. |
| MagnusX 01/15/23 5:03:48 PM #5 | I I have all 6 seasons on my media box. Big fan, even if it's def for kids. Don't think there was a movie. |
| Topic | People who wear their shoes inside their house |
| MagnusX 01/15/23 3:15:40 PM #23 | voldothegr8 posted... Do you people never clean your floors or something?Cleaning a house is enough work by itself, no need to track dirt all over the house. Americans are weird. |
| Topic | Do any of you care at all about the story of hunter biden's illegitimate |
| MagnusX 01/15/23 2:42:38 PM #15 | Tyranthraxus posted... No who gives a fuck about that shit what are we British royalty |
| Topic | People who wear their shoes inside their house |
| MagnusX 01/15/23 2:25:58 PM #6 | voldothegr8 posted... How is it the ones wearing modern footwear are the barbarians?Your house must be as dirty as a cave if you're wearing shoes inside. |
| Topic | What do you think of the Black Knight Satellite conspiracy theory? |
| MagnusX 01/13/23 4:49:34 PM #12 | Exactly the same as any other conspiracy theory: it's fucking stupid and you need education if you believe it. |
| Topic | What happened to the best basketball player from your graduating class? |
| MagnusX 01/10/23 10:17:49 PM #42 | Hockey was all that really cared about, maybe volleyball. I didn't care about either and I have no idea who played what sports, especially 20 years later. |
| Topic | Think of a Canadian Band/Musician |
| MagnusX 01/08/23 8:45:20 PM #39 | Medussa posted... Other:Legit one of the best music acts in Canada, period. Got a setlist and one of Jules' drum heads from the last show I saw. Need to pick up Formentera for sure. |
| Topic | Think of a Canadian Band/Musician |
| MagnusX 01/08/23 7:59:48 PM #35 | The Tea Party was my gut reaction, Crown Lands once my brain caught up |
| Topic | Is it still everybody's dream to live in America? |
| MagnusX 01/08/23 5:12:52 PM #20 | Canadian here and there's absolutely no fucking way I'd ever contemplate moving to the US, blue state or not. |
| Topic | Do people still hoot and/or clap at a restaurant when something is dropped? |
| MagnusX 01/08/23 5:11:30 PM #9 | Only time I ever heard something like that was in the university shared dining hall, but that's 18-21 year olds tasting freedom for the first time. |
| Topic | I'm REALLY enjoying Trek To Yomi. |
| MagnusX 01/08/23 3:53:37 PM #3 | It was the first game I played when I got Gamepass in October. Really enjoyed the presentation, from the screen ratio to the black & white/sepia look to the film grain to the film reel ends when trying to leave a required battle. Interesting story. Got all the achievements in an couple days. |
| Topic | Apparently the Canadian economy is in big trouble in 2023. |
| MagnusX 01/07/23 9:34:01 PM #6 | K181 posted... Yeah, nobody's clicking on that thumbnail. |
| Topic | Tunic is finally on sale for the Switch |
| MagnusX 01/06/23 12:14:41 PM #5 | It's fucking amazing and rewards you for trying things and learning. Felt like a genius as I figured out stuff in the manual. Don't look up anything. Played on XOne though, can't comment on the Switch port. |
| Topic | How you doin ketchup with your fries? |
| MagnusX 01/06/23 12:12:40 AM #10 | Heartomaton posted... Ketchup is gross. |
| Topic | How many times you got COVID |
| MagnusX 01/05/23 10:48:44 AM #9 | Once. Pretty sure I got it at a Rage Against the Machine show at a festival last July, though we did attend the previous week of shows. Was on the front rail the whole day and was crushed for their entire set, had dozens of people bodysurfing over me and had lots of other people's sweat one me. Could have been asymptomatic before or after because of vaccines, but only got sick that one time. Thankfully the vaccine worked as intended and I basically just slept for a week. |
| Topic | Are brown eggs really healthier than white eggs? |
| MagnusX 01/05/23 10:42:59 AM #2 | No difference |
| Topic | Are you excited for Hogwarts Legacy? |
| MagnusX 01/05/23 9:00:04 AM #23 | Nope. I enjoyed reading the books as they released, and watch the movies every couple years, but haven't wanted to play a single HP game yet. Can't say I give even a single shit about Legacy. |

| Topic | Is Tyler Henry (the medium) legit? |
| MagnusX 01/02/23 6:46:34 AM #9 | EmbraceOfDeath posted... Psychic powers don't exist. |
| Topic | I'm just now finding out that Disney+ has deleted scenes |
| MagnusX 12/30/22 10:23:12 AM #7 | Not all movies have deleted scenes as extras. For example, I borrowed the recent Planet of the Apes trilogy on BD from a friend. Second movie had a glitch and wouldn't play a specific scene, so I finished watching the movie on Disney+. Only extra is a trailer, so I popped the disc back in to watch the behind the scenes. |
| Topic | What are some good New Years movies? |
| MagnusX 12/29/22 5:00:49 PM #9 | 200 Cigarettes is a staple for me |
| Topic | Are you a bigger fan of LTG or Boogie? |
| MagnusX 12/28/22 10:40:04 PM #3 | Where's the neither option? |
| Topic | Do you agree Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the best Beatles album |
| MagnusX 12/27/22 10:10:26 PM #13 | It's def top tier, but I think I like Rubber Soul, White Album, Abbey Road, and Let It Be more. |
| Topic | The perfect girl, but she's a born-again virgin waiting for marriage. |
| MagnusX 12/27/22 9:39:15 PM #12 | K181 posted... No. Sex is an important part of a healthy and mature relationship. For the right person, I wouldnt have minded taking it slow. But waiting to see if youre compatible sexually until after marriage is about as nonsensical to me as not having a conversation with someone until after marriage.This, plus the born again thing. Don't think I could be with a person who believes in things so drastically different than I do. |
| Topic | What kind of wallet do you carry? |
| MagnusX 12/27/22 9:30:45 PM #48 | Lost_All_Senses posted... I took the slip out my wallet like 5 years ago and just use that.This, but more like 10 years. I dislike how big most wallets are. |
| Topic | If you've cancelled a streaming subscription, why did you do it? |
| MagnusX 12/27/22 12:26:34 PM #14 | Amazon Prime. Only subscribed to get free next day delivery for ear plugs during a music festival out of province. Watched a bunch of stuff, cancelled before the first payment would kick in. Already subbed to Netflix, Disney+, and Crave with HBO, no need for more. |
| Topic | Your biggest show/movie disappointment of 2022 |
| MagnusX 12/27/22 11:56:26 AM #15 | Uncharted. Didn't expect an intelligent movie but it was still boring and dumb. |
| Topic | Does your work penalize you for staying over shift? |
| MagnusX 12/27/22 6:47:11 AM #4 | There's no penalty other than sane coworkers telling you to go the fuck home and stop working for free. |
| Topic | Super cute girl on 1st date: I was at the Capitol on January 6th. |
| MagnusX 12/26/22 7:30:00 PM #2 | 0% chance that I finish the date |
| Topic | Whats the most intensive game you play on your phone? |
| MagnusX 12/25/22 9:51:30 AM #9 | bo_danvers posted... I don't play games on my phone. |
| Topic | Which Type of Game Controllers Do You Prefer? |
| MagnusX 12/23/22 8:52:22 PM #9 | I hope those saying Switch/Nintendo don't mean the JoyCons because godamn those are complete shit and waaaay too tiny for my entirely average-sized hands. Xbox and PS controllers are pretty much the same imo but since my daily console is the XOne that got my vote. |
| Topic | I own three dragons now. |
| MagnusX 12/23/22 8:33:54 PM #27 | Anyone who buys an NFT is absolutely fucking pathetic. |
| Topic | Why do people hate Brie Larson, again? |
| MagnusX 12/23/22 8:22:43 AM #12 | Mr_hulk88 posted... Fucking lol. She was hated because of pathetic opinions like above from insecure men. |
| Topic | Men of CE what jewelry do you wear and how often? |
| MagnusX 12/21/22 5:57:22 PM #23 | A smart watch. A tie clip if I'm working a management shit with a tie. Other than that, nothing. Not a fan of jewelry/accessories in general. |
