| Topic | How on Earth |
| Hyyr 11/28/18 5:27:05 PM #47 | zebatov posted... I wish I was older at the time the original consoles released so I could have started sooner. I actually have a few good games for the SMS. I mostly preferred RPGs, especially back in the day, so I bought games like Phantasy Star & Spellcaster for the SMS. When I bought the Genesis console I also bought the 8-bit converter, so I didn't have to leave the SMS connected to my monitor. Sega has always had some quirky things with their consoles. The SMS (and the genesis converter) had the pause button located on the console for some crazy reason. The Genesis only provided stereo audio out a headphone jack(!!) In connecting the Sega/Mega CD systems, this headphone jack had to be connected to a mixing port on the back of the CD unit. Crazy! And don't get me started with the 32X, anyone who had the misfortune to purchase one knows what a nightmare to connect it up was (I called it the "potato"). At least the Saturn was a more conventional console, though it was rather limited in games I liked (Shining the Holy Ark & Panzer Dragoon Saga, though I have a lot more than just those). The Dreamcast- easily the best-looking game system by far (on my high-resolution system) until the first XBox came out. (Even the PlayStation 2 did not have progressive-scan output for games for some reason). The Dreamcast's VMU units were cool, and it was the first console to have DLC for any game that I know of (Skies of Arcadia, had to use the web browser to download the patches onto a VMU, still have those files!) All that, and more, all the while I was playing the other systems as well. Sega was certainly a big part of my personal gaming past. |

| Topic | How on Earth |
| Hyyr 11/28/18 4:36:50 PM #38 | I still have in my collection of legacy gear (all purchased new at the time): -Sega Master System (two actually, one bought used) -Genesis console (original "three-chip" model, plus the 8-bit power base converter) -Sega CD and Mega CD units (both modified to play both OS's -Sega 32X (what a turd of a device however, only have a few games for it) -Saturn (easily the least-played of all my Sega consoles) -Dreamcast (first 128-bit system made, first also with progressive-scan 480p output I believe) I also have a Game Gear that I was given (essentially a portable SMS). I have been gaming since 1975 (first console was an Atari Super-Pong) |

| Topic | Why do they call it circumcision instead of male genitalia mutilation? |
| Hyyr 11/28/18 4:08:01 PM #104 | Anisoptera posted... The "benefits" really aren't that significant to justify it. Basic hygiene and safe sex is good enough and UTI/phimosis is pretty treatable. What a load of shit. What does a female know about male circumcision anyway? Probably even less than a male who was never circumcised. As a male who was circumcised when I was 36, I probably have more insight than most men about the procedure. Though it has been many years now since it was done, I still feel a certain amount of resentment toward those who made the decision not to snip me as a tot. However, in defense of my parents, it was indeed their decision to make. I understand this. They just made it for the same misguided reasons many parents make when taking the cheap way out. When I finally did get it done, it cost a hell of a lot of money and took me out of work for a full week. I really could have done without the whole mess, but the results were certainly worth it. I cannot help be infuriated when I hear the cop-out excuse "oh, I'll just let him decide...". |

| Topic | What do you guys think of Resident Evil 4? |
| Hyyr 10/05/18 3:57:32 PM #56 | Destroyed the Resident Evil franchise completely IMO. -It wasn't a Resident Evil game except in name. -It wasn't survival horror at all. -It wasn't the 4th of anything (Code:Veronica was the 4th Resident Evil game). I still consider this game to be my worst video game purchase of all time. |

| Hyyr 10/03/18 7:41:26 AM #49 | Yes, with every paycheck I receive the government seizes a large chunk (about 40% total) to feed the various welfare states. I don't have any left after that for voluntary charity, however. |

| Topic | Are you registered to vote? |
| Hyyr 09/26/18 10:06:29 AM #27 | Kyuubi4269 posted... Voting requires agreement Voting also implies consent. By voting, one is saying that they consent to be governed by the idiots in charge. Ergo, if you vote, you really have no reason to complain about the sorry political state this country is in. By voting, you are agreeing to "play by their rules". |
| Topic | Are you registered to vote? |

| Topic | How do you feel about the police? |
| Hyyr 09/25/18 6:46:59 AM #56 | BADoglick posted... Yet I never see any 'good cops' saying 'hey maybe we shouldn't kill so many dogs, beat our wives, or steal money from people who haven't been convicted. Maybe we shouldn't stick up for off duty officers who commit premeditated murder by slapping them on the wrists and intentionally failing to fully investigate them? Maybe we shouldn't rehire officers that were fired from other departments for unethical practices?' 'Good' cops won't cross that thin blue line in order to purge their bad apples, so in my opinion that means 'good' cops don't exist. A few bad apples ruin the bunch, and they'd rather stew with some rotten apples than maintain their integrity. Like I said, 99% make the rest look bad. |

| Topic | This 15 y/o Kid is DEAD after he Fell FACE First into a BOAT PROPELLER!!! |
| Hyyr 09/13/18 9:28:38 AM #33 | The Popo posted... The father seemingly fell, and right into the throttle, unfortunately. It wasnt a reckless act by the driver, just a worst case scenario of awful luck: It is still an act of carelessness by the father. I am not saying it wasn't an accident, but it was avoidable. If someone died on my boat in such a fashion, I would certainly be the one to blame. Also, every boat I have owned (three) have had throttle locks. If the throttle is in neutral, I had to press a button/lever to enable the forward gear. The boat must have already been in gear (or had no throttle lock). Both are dangerous, especially if the motor is running. I don't know if such throttle locks are required by law, however. And because they're much shorter the RPMs do have to be fairly high. I had a reading teacher in middle school that lost a leg to a boat prop while water skiing. My current boat has a Volvo Penta Duoprop. Two counter-rotating props. I shudder at what would happen to anything made of flesh that got caught in them while at speed. They can push a 6,000 lb boat at 35mph. Fortunately the only things I have hit with them is water and underwater logs :(. |
