Before the pandemic, I used to do bar crawls with my girlfriend and invite some coworkers, eventually we would eat at one bar to keep from getting sick but most of the bars we just got a drink, soaked in the atmosphere, and moved on. Other than those, I don't regularly go to bars.

That shit is fucking weird, especially when they're alone. That damn thing is off as soon as I'm no longer required.

Games have enjoyable writing but yeah, sorry, even the ones claimed to have "good writing" are about as deep as your average Marvel popcorn flick. I enjoy video game stories like I enjoyed Choose Your Adventure type books as a kid, it's not material that's gonna make you question life or your values but it's a fun story you can usually influence in some way. A video game story just needs to be good enough to make me want to keep killing things.

Agreed. I think if we would have gotten stimulus checks back in August or whenever it got shut down again, and someone would have had the balls to tell him to lay off on the crazy Twitter ravings, I think he could have won again. Dude was just determined to look as stupid as possible all through election year.

"Nice guys" are usually only nice because they think it's a path to getting sex. As soon as they're rejected, the niceness is quickly gone. Women like a man who is polite and a good person but doesn't put her on a pedestal as The Queen and act like her servant; dude still needs to be a leader and put his foot down and have confidence in himself. But for some reason, confidence is a "bad boy" trait now, and that's stupid.

If we brush under the rug false reports and staged hate crimes and destroying a person's life because they used a black hairstyle in Animal Crossing and policing every word under the sun, hardcore liberals are very sane people. Yes, "both sides" do have extremist issues, but the right is in a worse place right now.

He has the same appeal that Bernie Sanders does, spouts off a lot of grand ideas with no substance that people eat up.

Yeah, I love it. I love being by myself, I love alone time, I love doing things my own way. The only annoying part about it is, people that think introversion is the same thing as social anxiety or being lonely. Many people like me, I love to hangout with people but I restrict social interactions pretty much only to the weekends, or just one day a week. Some people don't quite understand it but I'm always upfront and tell them I like to be alone.

It's good to be casual

Season 1 was funny as hell and it's kind of sad no one ever talked about it. IMO, season 2 sucked ass, though, not nearly as good as season 1 and I didn't finish it; had no idea there's a season 3 now.

Forced "girl power" shit is as stupid and cringey as obnoxious alpha male/bro shit. My girlfriend thought the scene was lame as hell, as well.

I would laugh my ass off if someone said that about my mom. A woman that can't have a sense of humor about that is a woman I don't need in my life.

I feel like rappers just diss Eminem these days to get easy mainstream attention.

Only times I wear mine are in places that I'm required to wear one. As soon as I'm out of a store or off of work, the mask is off.

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey. I always wish there were more games in the Ancient Greek times, and the world in this game is beautiful but that's about it. I'm about 30 hours in after jumping back on and off it for the last two years, but the endless "get quest, clear camps, repeat, repeat, repeat" got so old so very quick.

"Those who need it" sounds like an incredibly broad, undefined criteria.

I mean, duh? Did you just find this out in your high school history class?

If anyone told me to call them "ze/zir" I would do everything in my power to avoid that person. It's not my obligation to make you feel special.

Terminator. Stop rebooting it or whatever they're doing. Let it die.

Usually it's people who started out in love or maybe even married out of obligation (had a child together), and then after years and years they just drift apart and the passion isn't there anymore. Or they get bored of the same person and feel a need to explore what's out there. By that point, divorce could be a very messy thing so they keep it on the downlow. I've known some people who married as teens or young adults, and by the time they hit 30s, they've grown into two very different people who don't care for each other anymore, or feel like they missed out.

Who the fuck pays $15 for 5 pictures that are censored???

It's a really new thing, from my understanding invented by a woman who merely suggested it as a small, fun thing but it exploded on social media as some "all-out blow up the world to announce my son/daughter" thing for attention.

Skimming through the review, it sounds pretty reasonable. It mostly sounds like someone who wanted more depth to the world and factions, and didn't like how the main story felt "urgent" but you could dick around for awhile (honestly, this is something the majority of open world games struggle at, so this is no big deal to me). The bugs thing sounds pretty bad, but even Witcher 3 had a good amount of glitches I could ignore.

They said what I wanted to hear though, that the side missions were a lot of fun.

My pick will be 3rd Rock From the Sun. I don't know if it was really popular, but I watched it as a kid.

How would "blind playthrough" make a blind person feel excluded? I think it's kind of offensive to think people with disabilities are so soft and fragile that they can't even acknowledge a phrase (that's not even negative or demeaning) that alludes to their condition.

I think there's still some very good book covers, and I do totally judge books by the cover. I don't know why they sometimes go for the minimalist, generic covers. Seeing covers like that, just makes my brain think it contains a generic story as well. Maybe there's some data out there that shows people are more prone to buy the boring ones, who knows. A book with some well-done or even simple but elegant artwork makes it feel even more amazing.

There's data available online showing that in these types of games, the vast majority of players choose the male.

I've always preferred hand writing but it also cramps my wrists/hands really bad. As for the PC/console stuff, play what you fucking want to play on and don't give a fuck.

No, I never was. I was usually a bully, sometimes.

His response gave me a good laugh

I thought Godfather was boring as hell, but I have zero interest in mob/crime/gangster type movies.

All of the superhero movies are ok popcorn flicks, but I think people get way too obsessed with them. Some are worth another watch, most of them are just by-the-numbers action flicks.

The Shining is a great movie until you read The Shining, then it just seems hollow and dumbed down.

Ever since the Xbox 360 and the red ring of death debacle, I like to wait a little while before purchasing new consoles, now. Plus, there isn't a single new game I want to play on the new consoles.

Probably just Tom Cruise, dude is a total whackjob but fuck his movies are great and he's a hell of an actor. I don't really pay any attention to celebrities in real life, I figure they're all a bit nuts. I watch them for their movies, I don't care about their lives or their opinions.

I don't mind it much in RPGs; but in action games, fuck that. I don't want to craft shit in God of War and Tomb Raider, let me kill shit and solve puzzles.

I don't really know how the internet defines "toxic", it seems to change it's meaning pretty often to just hate on certain characteristics, but the way I see it is:

Mean Girls types. Women that bully other women for not being pretty enough, or girly enough, or whatever.

Women in the workplace that berate and hold down other women. I've worked with a lot of women, and my girlfriend has as well, there's constant conflict and I've had female bosses that just shit on the lower level female employees. My girlfriend has had experiences with older women bullying her specifically because she was younger.

I don't know if this fits the meaning, but some women love to talk down to you like a child, or lecture you. They do this to men and other women.

And also just general passive aggressiveness women do with each other.

I feel like men that claim that women can't be toxic never have much experiences around them. They can be major assholes just as well as men.

You have to suck it up, either doing something entry level, volunteering, or just doing seasonal work can help you out. Right now, everyone is hiring for the holidays.

I'm hoping that the world will one day soon be sick of the phrase "sparks outrage on Twitter". Twitter is like listening to that constantly negative and bitching coworker at work and pretending everything he says has value

Hell no. Acne, uncontrollable boners, caring about being popular, being awkward in all situations, having no money; the only age I'd ever want to stay at is maybe late 20s/early 30s when I have my shit together and I'm not old enough to be "old" yet.

I'm guessing it is if you're 20 years old and don't remember "hanging chads".

It's mostly filled with fear-mongering BS and complete negativity, and most of it is stuff that has no effect on your life but to bring you misery. It's not bad to take a glance and stay up-to-date, but most people are binging on it 24/7, and that's an addiction rather than "staying informed".

My mother loves the news, devours it all day, and always has to call and tell me about how this person over in another city died or there was a puppy that was killed by teenagers over in who-the-fuck-knows or what the devious liberals are up to now. It's just stuff to get agitated about that you have zero control over.

Sports games are usually the most fun to play, some of my best memories are with sports games. It's just a dumb thing to say. Sports in real life are definitely more fun, but it's not always an option, like late at night, when the weather is poor, when you can't get a lot of people together, etc. Plus there's more to it than just playing, such as managing your favorite teams.

Pretty sure it's only the HOA offended by it, sounds like everyone that's normal loves it. Thank God I don't have one, but from everything I've heard, HOAs are angry, miserable old people that want complete control of your home.

My house is pretty much filled with nothing but TCL TVs at this point, no issues with any of them either.
