| Proto_Spark 01/17/23 11:21:06 PM #20 | What about the next Steve Blackman? https://youtu.be/X21QdVK_Zps?t=115 |
| Topic | So is The Last of Us just another zombie apocalypse or what. |
| Proto_Spark 01/17/23 3:29:45 PM #18 | creativerealms posted... So same as every Zombie Story since Night of the living dead?well, every good one. But the Last of Us isn't like, a super-unique story or anything, its a pretty generic one that is just told really well. |
| Topic | Shouldnt you buy all limited run games and resell them in a decade? |
| Proto_Spark 01/17/23 12:04:02 AM #8 | LordMarshal posted... Theres tons of shit ultra rare expensive games. Go get a copy of cheetahmen..... There are also plenty of ultra rare games that have no value. I don't think you're getting that rare =/= valuable Just because Limited Run makes limited runs of physical games, it doesn't mean that it'll have resell value in like 10 years. |
| Topic | Shouldnt you buy all limited run games and resell them in a decade? |
| Proto_Spark 01/16/23 11:56:52 PM #6 | LordMarshal posted... Because no one wants "Spidersaurs" that means itll be that much rarer and expensive... But it won't have any resale value if nobody wants it. You can find plenty of retro SNES games for dirt cheap because nobody cares about them either. |
| Topic | Shouldnt you buy all limited run games and resell them in a decade? |
| Proto_Spark 01/16/23 11:50:13 PM #4 | I think it really depends how much you think a PS4 copy of Spidersaurs will actually be worth in 15 years? Will there really be a market for Switch copies of Ayo the Clown? There are plenty of retro games from the "retro" eras currently that nobody cares about. If its a game you really enjoy, then you should definitely do it, but its also entirely possible most of these games will have effectively no value beyond you personally liking it. |
| Topic | a video debunking "go woke go broke" |
| Proto_Spark 01/15/23 1:09:16 PM #9 | Video title obviously should've been Why "Get Woke Go Broke" is a Joke. |
| Topic | Do you get motion sickness, and are you a woman? |
| Proto_Spark 01/15/23 1:07:01 PM #31 | I've gotten a little motion sickness if I'm in the car for a long time, especially if I don't really have anything else to be doing during that time. It isn't enough of an issue I would really consider it a problem I have though. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 49 |
| Proto_Spark 01/15/23 1:04:04 PM #3 | Grandma bouvier is gonna get slaughtered so hard they might have to kill her character off. |
| Topic | Do you believe that the Earth is overpopulated? |
| Proto_Spark 01/14/23 3:48:54 PM #16 | We can handle all the people currently alive and then some. The problem isn't that there are too many people, it's that we don't want to do anything to deal with the people we have. We have an unsustainable way of life and don't want to change that. |
| Topic | I'm sick of people hating on the Last Jedi. It's been 5 years, people! |
| Proto_Spark 01/14/23 3:41:45 PM #24 | I liked it, but I'll admit I haven't seen it since the movie came out. The Rise of Skywalker IMO did so much more damage to the franchise than anything TLJ could have done, but we're harping on the one that listened to people and tried to be different. |
| Topic | Do you think highly of neil degrasse tyson? |
| Proto_Spark 01/13/23 5:04:05 PM #5 | He's like Bill Nye with a little less self awareness. He's a fun educator and makes learning about complex topics seem cool. That said, he was dumb enough to think people would like a video where he explains the scientific inaccuracies in Star Wars. |
| Topic | Furious about DC new pregnant trans joker? Then the jokes on you |
| Proto_Spark 01/13/23 12:56:34 AM #11 | Honestly, that sounds like a really fun story. A perfect silly one-off story to do something new with a fun character. |
| Topic | Joe Biden won't run in 2024 now right? |
| Proto_Spark 01/12/23 10:17:22 PM #8 | Unsuprised_Pika posted... The Trump ship is sinking fast. Nah, once Trump and DeSantis really start going at it, Trump will end DeSantis and the republicans will fall back in line. The repubs want Trump to be sent to prison more than the Democrats do, because they'll never win again unless they can get someone less boisterous - but that chaotic charisma of Trump will kill any "normal" people they try to replace him with. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 47 |
| Proto_Spark 01/12/23 5:10:49 PM #3 | Lindsay Naegle is... a really boring character. I get why she's there, but they could also have literally a random filler character in there and it wouldn't change anything (except maybe the one joke where they see her all the time). Santa's Little Helper 100% |
| Topic | Are hardcore gamers/speed runners admirable or dorks? |
| Proto_Spark 01/11/23 4:29:36 PM #4 | Anyone who cares that much to have a crazy interest in something like a video game is pretty admirable to me. Whether they're dorks or not pretty much depends on how likeable they are when they talk about it. |
| Topic | Eh I can see the benefits of the Date/Month/Year over Month/Date/Year |
| Proto_Spark 01/11/23 1:44:11 PM #5 | I get it, but I'm still always going to just read it as MM/DD/YYYY instead. |
| Topic | Remember when nerds had a meltdown over Linkle? |
| Proto_Spark 01/11/23 1:41:51 PM #4 | I would love bringing Linkle back. She had a super cool design and the focus on Crossbows could be a really unique way to change stuff up. Hell, just including Linkle in like a "Are you a boy or a girl" way when you start the game could be a really fun addition. |
| Topic | What's the last marvel movie you've watched? |
| Proto_Spark 01/11/23 1:40:00 PM #51 | Captain America: The First Avenger. But that's just like, the most recent MCU movie I watched, but I watched it like a month ago. As far as the most recent one... probably Spider Man: No Way Home. The last marvel movie of any kind was probably Morbius. |
| Topic | Did your stance on Joel (Last of Us) ever change? |
| Proto_Spark 01/11/23 11:30:03 AM #66 | g0ldie posted... sorry about that; I just feel like people know at this point, so it doesn't really matter, but I guess it couldn't hurt to so from now on. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 45 |
| Proto_Spark 01/11/23 1:42:14 AM #21 | When comparing to basically any character less important than Abe Simpson, I think I'd vote for Lurleen. She's been a big part of a lot of classic episodes. But You got to go with Raging Abe Simpsons (And his grumbling grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish") |
| Topic | Stephanie McMahon steps down and leaves World Wrestling Entertainment |
| Proto_Spark 01/10/23 11:49:04 PM #77 | Yeah, this tells me Vince is 100% coming back solely to spite the people who tried to oust him. I imagine we'll see HHH and the non-Tony Khan leaving soon as well. Heck Maybe Vince just sells the company to some rich idiots and ****s off himself, knowing he built the whole kingdom and then burned it down when someone tried to take it away. |
| Topic | Your thoughts on final fantasy 12? |
| Proto_Spark 01/09/23 3:33:38 PM #36 | It was the first one I actually beat. I liked it enough, though I don't think I could tell you very much about it. I haven't touched it since like 10 years ago or whatever when I actually finished it. I remember the two characters that were like childhood friends accidentally called into an adventure, there was like, an exiled princess and the knight who stayed loyal, and then the other guy and the bunny were pirates. Nothing about the plot, but I do generally remember the characters. |

| Topic | James Cameron becomes first director to have three films pass $1.5B Box Office |
| Proto_Spark 01/09/23 12:30:17 AM #2 | Isn't he also the first one to do it twice? And the only other guy to do it twice were the Russo bros, and that was mostly because they got to do the Infinity War + Endgame combo. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 43 |
| Proto_Spark 01/09/23 12:22:16 AM #7 | Itchy and Scratchy? Agnes gets old pretty fast. She's used for like, 4 different roles so she's around a lot, but she's also only ever used for the same thing and it gets old fast. Itchy/Scratchy is also very one-note, but they're never important enough to hurt the overall episode. |
| Topic | [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] |
| Proto_Spark 01/09/23 12:17:11 AM #14 | 3 is never a good choice, why is it always the one I pick? |
| Topic | Do you watch Twitch? |
| Proto_Spark 01/09/23 12:16:38 AM #23 | Once in a while, but a lot of the stuff I used to watch on Twitch are also starting to occasionally stream on Youtube too (IIRC they are willing to give a bigger cut of stuff like subs/chats/whatever than Twitch does) so I've felt less and less of a need to go to twitch. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 42 |
| Proto_Spark 01/08/23 12:09:26 AM #17 | Kamil posted... Was that really Kearney's real last name? Also I can't wait to see Crazy Old Man vs like I dunno Moe next round and get obliterated. I am strangely really into these polls even though I haven't watched the show much since season 11. Whoever wins this one is gonna be competing with ****ing Mr. Burns. We might as well let them both go now. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 42 |
| Proto_Spark 01/06/23 8:18:30 PM #3 | I like the recurring jokes about how old Kearney is. But really this is another one of those "really neither should advance" but do because of needing to get to 128. I guess Kearney |
| Topic | The Last of Us on HBO - no spores |
| Proto_Spark 01/06/23 4:32:46 PM #53 | Ooh, that is a bad creative choice IMO. Spores were a great way to really hammer home Ellie's immunity bit and easily make a situation more tense. I guess they aren't completely necessary, but they were easily an important part of the game. They don't need like full episodes, but I don't really think it would have been anywhere close to a problem to come up now and again. Though honestly, with how TLOU was basically structured like a TV show anyway, any big changes will probably feel like they're for the worse regardless. |
| Topic | My new job changed my offer letters amount in adobe. |
| Proto_Spark 01/06/23 10:16:16 AM #5 | Did you download a copy of the offer letter they first sent you? That one wouldn't be changed. If not, then you really should have. Having a copy of everything is also important for you. |
| Topic | Whatever happened to Kanye? |
| Proto_Spark 01/06/23 10:13:16 AM #10 | It's not like he's really ever been well-put together. This is from 2009: https://youtu.be/0RMdwA8GWB8 |
| Topic | What's your first memory of a gay couple in an entertainment program? |
| Proto_Spark 01/05/23 7:33:02 PM #22 | The episode of That 70s show where the gay couple moves in next door and Red has a huge problem with it until he talks with them for 5 seconds. And then he kicks them out of the house for not liking the Green Bay Packers. Because they're from Minnesota, they were born this way! |
| Topic | Sony announces new accessible PS5 controller |
| Proto_Spark 01/05/23 1:20:45 AM #36 | Xbox has had a similar accessibility based controller for a while and it looks just as weird, so I feel like I can't really comment on the design. If it works it works. And I've seen some really favourable reviews for the Xbox one, so good on Sony for finally doing one for the Playstation.

| Topic | The perfect woman but you have to take her to a Nickelback concert. |
| Proto_Spark 01/05/23 1:17:38 AM #22 | Live music is pretty much always a blast. Especially if its for a really big band like Nickelback. And if they're gonna be as big as they are despite all the hate they get, they're gonna have to be hella fun live. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 40 |
| Proto_Spark 01/04/23 11:54:21 PM #9 | After a lot of really minor characters, this one is actually kind of tough. Wolfcastle has some amazing moments, but Mona is the driving point behind several of the show's best episodes. I want to say Mona, but she is and was never really used for jokes, which makes me think Wolfcastle wins this. |
| Topic | Best Simpsons Character Tournament: Round 39 |
| Proto_Spark 01/04/23 2:30:08 PM #11 | Sarcastic dude gets a lot of really good one liners and Otto's schtick got old... really fast. Also the messed up origin story of the sarcastic old guy from Lisa The Boy Scout has stuck with me more than basically anything Otto has ever done. Though I imagine Otto wins this because most of the sarcastic old guy doesn't get nearly as many moments until well into the "post-classic" era of the Simpsons where most people stopped caring about anything going on. |
| Topic | Any of you own a Fossil or Shinola watch? |
| Proto_Spark 01/03/23 11:29:28 PM #14 | TheValiant posted... I've got like 10 Fossils with dead battery that I bought at Goodwill for $2 each. Worth less than a $2 bill. Funny thing is, there's a thrift store nearby who knows a watchmaker who fixes theirs for free, but they won't introduce me to him even though I told them I'd pay him. They think I'll donate my Fossils to the store if I don't find a cheap watchmaker. Fat fucking chance! If all they need is a new battery, you can probably replace them yourself for cheap. You might need to fine a tool of Amazon or something to help properly take the back off, but its usually not actually that tough to remove. |
| Topic | Any of you own a Fossil or Shinola watch? |
| Proto_Spark 01/03/23 11:21:25 PM #10 | GranTurismo posted... wow, 3 months? but the store will change your batteries, every 3 months? doesn't seem all that likely I want to say the issue is trying to use a watch battery to do so much. I imagine just connecting to my phone's bluetooth probably saps a decent amount of power. If I don't really use any of the smart features it might make it an extra month or two, but like, 6 months at the most. 3-4 months has been pretty typical for me. It was like the first gen or something, that's why there's a lifetime replacement warranty. The current ones have an embedded battery like other smartwatches IIRC. |
| Topic | Any of you own a Fossil or Shinola watch? |
| Proto_Spark 01/03/23 10:30:14 PM #8 | I have a "hybrid smartwatch" Fossil made a while ago. It's pretty cool that the watch will like, tell me who's sending me a text or something while still being a totally normal watch, but the problem is that it runs on watch batteries so it dies in like 3 months. Though if I bother going to the fossil store there is supposedly a lifetime warranty on it. |
| Topic | Goal: start reading consistently again |
| Proto_Spark 01/03/23 8:16:38 PM #13 | Grady Hendrix writes "horror" novels that can be summed up as "the best Goosebumps episode" and are really fun reads. I usually read one of his books in under a week when I finally pick one up. |

| Proto_Spark 01/03/23 2:08:22 PM #14 | literally who? I guess Luigi, because he's like, around more. |
| Topic | imo, I think Transformers will be movie of the summer |
| Proto_Spark 12/31/22 7:27:37 PM #5 | Are we in 2007? Its been a very long time since I've seen anyone interested in the new Transformers movie. |
| Topic | What is your favorite dinosaur documentary? |
| Proto_Spark 12/31/22 5:02:41 PM #18 | Apple TV's Prehistoric Planet is pretty good IMO. But I mean, the definitive one is walking with dinosaurs. |
