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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
