OCD would be if you felt compelled to do that every time it happened and if you don't then horrible things will happen.

Which is exactly what goes down. If it didnt, I wouldnt waste my car rides thinking about meaningless crap that makes me feel bad. >_>This isnt even the primary or worst manifestation of it tbh. Fun things in life:

Constantly deleting and re-entering passwords before logging in anywhere

Interrupting reading or pausing games to handle intrusive thoughts.

Not eating because the fear that beginning to eat with trigger intrusive thoughts

Closing/reopening doors, closests, windows, or flipping switches or turning on and off the car ignition multiple times, or walking backwards out of doorways i already entered only to enter them again

Handwashing after my hands touch anything

Throwing away untouched food and going hungry because some trivial non-detail convinced my brain it was contaminated

Backtracking in video games and repetively replaying parts I already completed, or discarding save data, because i didnt handle intrusive thoughts properly and by accepting that progress it would be like accepting those thoughts

The slightest whiff of gas triggering panic attacks

The insane thought that, if i left my bottled drink in the car while I was in the store, some maniac could have broken into the car and poisoned it

And the list goes on. But please, by all means, tell me more about the mental illness that has plagued me for the last 20 years of my life >_>

that's not ocd. that's just called being over analytical. there's another word for it but I don't wanna get modded

Im stretching for humor, but I actually do have OCD and it plays a pretty big role in my social anxiety. Though it usually comes after the social interaction as my brain is constantly trying convince me that everything I did was terrible. >_>

In any event this topic was meant as a joke. In real life, it wasnt a wal-mart, but a college campus. And I didnt have this thought process during the encounter, but during the drive home. Hahahaha

Huh... I've only heard good things about it, really.

it's the exact same game.

I mean exact same one

same locations. same uninspired character design. same lame dungeons.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different Digimon game that came out recently (last couple years).

Cyber Sleuth was the one everyone loved. Hackers Memory is the sequel, Ive never heard anyone talk about it.

Between them was Next Order, which is more simar to the original Digimon World than a jrpg.

Who is this guy? Why is he talking to me? Do I know him? No...pretty sure I don't. But does he know me? Is he going to be insulted if I dont remember him?

Oh! I'm wearing a Millenium Falcon t-shirt. I totally forgot. To be honest I just through this on. Should I talk to him? Is he expecting a conversation?

That doesnt make any sense! We're in the parking lot of a Wal-mart! He's leaving and I'm going in. A conversation would be inconvenient for both of us. But still, if he took the time to compliment my shirt, it would be couteous to acknowledge him.

But what do I say? Do I simply agree that Star Wars is cool? Or do I say something specific? "A lot of people think Return of the Jedi is the weakest of the trilogy, but I always thought everything on Tatooine or after Vader abducts Luke is outstanding, with only a slight lull when they first get to Endor"

What? No! That wont make any sense, how does that logically flow from a Millenium Falcon t-shirt? Maybe "Han Solo is the man!"

Why'd I even come out today? Or at least wear my Junes t-shirt. Nobody in this city knows what Persona 4 is. Though if a stranger were to strike up a conversation based on my shirt, I wish it were Persona instead of Star Wars.

Oh no! We're about to cross paths! Gotta think of something to say!

"Um...okay."

Just go for it. Worst that can happen is that she says no. And even then, getting rejected is a lot better than spending time pining after somebody because you're too afraid to make a move.

She either likes you, and will say yes. Or doesnt, and all the waiting and pussyfooting isnt going to change that. So may as well face it head on.

And even then, getting rejected doesnt mean someone is out of your league. Just means she didn't see it. There's 7 billion people on this planet, no one is gonna be a winner all the time.

Its illegal but you'd probably get away with it for a while.

If you just use those pennies to make exact change, they'll probably be given back to customers as change.

Granted, after a while a few of those pennies will make it to the bank, be rejected, and then the cops will start interviewing everyone the cameras saw paying exact change. And then youll be in jail because you were too cheap to pay 4 more cents for a Milky Way.

All-Star Superman is the perfect story for Superman. WB are idiots for not doing a real adaptation of it.

Hes literally the most powerful he's been outside of omnipotent interpretations and its still a super interesting read.

Really kills the "but overpowered" argument. Though tbh I preferred the animate movie since it flows better, but I guess it wasnt originally intended to be read in one sitting. Reads a lot better as a continuing saga.

I can totally relate to Batman.

You know, the neurotic man who cant let go of his obsessions and is eternally plagued by the existential dread caused by a life of constant failures, always wondering if he's made the right decision or if his actions just made everything worse. The kind of neuroses that cause you to isolate yourself and keep everyone who might care about you at a distance.

That and being a CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation and a master of martial arts with a bod that would make Prime Schwarzenegger jealous. Thats totally me.

Superman though is lame. He just looks at life with hopeful optimism and tries to believe in the innate goodness all humans are capable of if they try. Like, who can relate to that in 2018?

Youre given 50 million dollars in unmarked bills.

But to get it, you have to walk up to a car in the middle of rush hour, shoot and kill the driver, and kidnap the 10 year old chinese girl inside.

That girl will be the Chinese Prime Minister's daughter. He, in conjunction with the LAPD, will send two officers after you. One is skilled in kung fu, the other is hot headed and unpredictable.

If you can evade capture for a week the 50 million is yours.

Tbh I put a good amount of time in one of those Activision Atari collections for the PS2.

Yeah, I know, Amazon fixes everything and thats fine, but it sucks when I go into a store and the MSRP for a collection of old Ms Marvel (Carol Danvers) stories is almost fifty freaking dollars.

Pretty much all the marvel collections are like this. Id think it was some sort of conspiracy to get people to just use Marvel Unlimited, but even before that dropped I was finding Deapool trades for 40 dollars.

For reference, DCs collections of classic runs (Wonder Woman by Rucka or Perez, Batman by Neal Adams, Flash by Waid) are under 30 per volume.

Gosh. I miss the old DC Showcase/Marvel Essentials collections. It lacked color and any sort of special content but it was a cheap way to enjoy some classic stories. >_>

Specifically the "Murder in _____" games. Warcraft 3 was really good at doing a "creepy" atmosphere when it wanted,and those games used it to great effect. Really simple "survive and try to guess who the killer is" thing.

The DnD games were really fun too. One player would be assigned dungeon master and spawn monsters/items in an impromptu campaign.

And the "mini multuplayer online rpgs" were also stupid fun.There was a Final Fantasy one with a broken password system, but if you played it properly it was really fun. There was also a Pokemon rpg.

It was generally really interesting to see how players developed these interesting fangames in Warcraft. There was a great one based on the YYH Dark Tournament.

Not to mention the countless tower defense and proto mobas. (Personally I hated Dota and still dont like Mobas, but they were fun enough if a friend wanted to play)

Terrible shame Warcraft 3 went the way of the Dodo. The custom games were probably one of my fondest memories from high school.

When I worked in restaurants I remember regulars having preferred seats. If the seats were empty, we'd give it to them.

I cant imagine ever asking a customer to get up and move to a different seat because somebody else wants it though. No regular is worth that awkwardness.

Though the couple hadnt even ordered yet, so I'd also say theyre being ridiculous for escalating such a non-issue to this point. Should have just left the restaurant and told everybody what a shitty manager it has. No restaurant is worth that, either. >_>

They are ridiculous for escalating and not the person that called the police over this issue that shouldnt have even been an issue in the first place because the manager should have never asked them to do such a ridiculous thing?

The manager was an idiot. And I'd love for him to be fired for it. But if you argue with idiots, well...

You realize that youre pretty much advocating that they, at best, comply with stupidity and at worst comply with stupidity mixed with racism and other potential discriminatory factors. Not sure thats the best option here. They were paying customers, they had a right to sit where they were sitting, the manager is 100% in the wrong here.

Youre reading far too deeply into a comment that wasnt a condemnation (my fault for using "ridiculous" so flippantly), but bewilderment at why anyone would waste their energy on somebody who clearly isnt worth it, for a chance to give them money, when the alternative of "spend your money elsewhere and tell everyone you know" has the same result with less headache.

I apologize if I implied the customers did something that justified that behavior against them.

"Yeah the manager was an idiot, but why didnt the black guy just take it and give up his spot for a white man?"

Yeah...fuck that

Im sorry. Why would you give your money to a shitty reataurant run by a shitty manager who would do shitty things? Thats when you realize the restaurant isnt worth your time, and you go literally anywhere else.

Its astounding, the level of intelligence people must have, to read a post calling the manager crappy, and then take an off-hand non-jab about customers, which also revolves around the premise of the manager being crappy, and assume:

A) that I actually feel the customers are at any significant level of fault beyond "why would you do that?"

And

B) having established my history in restaurants, that my criticism is based on their race and not having seen countless customers and the poor way they handle things.

Congratulations.

These people were not the one who called the police. But yeah when it black people.. we have to find a way to blame them for something.

I never said they did. But let me illustrate my point.

You have just exposed yourself to being as worthy of effort as that manager. In this situation, this is what you do:

I thought it was agreed upon that it was the worst for comics as well.

90s DC was amazing. Jurgens Superman, Morrison JLA, Waid Flash, Kingdom Come.

Also Vertigo got started in the 90s.

Some good Alan Moore and Frank Miller stuff too.

People rag on the 90s edge but there was a lot more too it than that. People just remember the worst because the lows were REALLY low.

Its a toss up between 2 and 3 for me.

MGS has always been entwined with social and political commentary, but I think 2 was the best the series ever was at that. Also it basically perfects the formula from the first game. Only downside is that the orange place was an underwhelming setting.

3 is basically the best James Bond video game ever made.

Justice League wasnt terrible, but it can feel schizophrenic with how forced the Whedon bits are. Not that they're bad. I appreciate most of the stuff he added, but it doesnt flow naturally with Snyder's vision.

People rag on Steppenwolf but he wasnt any more or less interesting than any other superhero movie villain. Like, he's easily on par with 80% Marvel villains. And the lore his presence creates was interesting.

Tbh, as much as I hate Snyders take on Superman, the opening about the worlds reaction to his death was great. I think theres potential for a great DCEU with Snyder's involvement, but he needs to be limited to like, cinematography or something.
