Lurker > Hexenherz

Seeing Lion King in theaters and then getting the soundtrack on cassette tape on the way home.

Hologram/holograph colors on a lot of things (toys, bookmarks, just random stuff).

Goosebumps books

"Adult"-style programming for kids on Nickelodeon (AYATD, Hidden Temple, All That and other shows that typically never had a kid version before)

Also I remember some crazy awesome toy shop in a mall in Southern California that looked like the set of a sci-fi show or something, but that's probably just a false memory. It had a platform you could stand on and spin yourself on. There was also a VR arcade (probably a different mall) where you would put on a VR headset and walk on a treadmill to navigate, that was ahead of its time. I don't remember the game being any good though.

Things had vibrant color still.

Watching music videos on MTv (I got hooked on that Madonna song, Speed of Light or something like that).

The big band and swing revival movement.

Hit 99 hunter in rs3 last night, felt good go be done with it

I wish photobucket would finally just delete the account I had for it. Too many fucking emails from them warning me that my account is de-activated and will soon get deleted. For like, over a year now, it feels like.

Fucking do it already.

Pretty sure it's been at least four years, I recall receiving those emails during the pandemic. And they went from relatively normal warnings to straight up threats.

Yeah but ot or st

I think so but I'm stationed outside the state so they waive it

Biden has a dog and I'm a cat person, he's going to have to work double hard to get my vote

I miss photobucket before it turned into an emotional blackmail machine

99.9% credit card but I do use cash for tips at a select few rare places

No, I'd just try to have a normal conversation and try to understand their perspective.

I have had people over the years make Hitler youth jokes about how I look and that pisses me off a lot.

Time to get rid of "ostrich". New name for 5 under is gonna be "jailbird"

I thought the Ally was pretty much the second most well known handheld PC (after the Steam Deck) tbh.

Well I knew the asus rog, didn't realize it's the rog ally fml.

I'd choose that over Lenovo for sure

I would drive one if I lived in a country where it made a difference. But then I'd probably just use public transportation and get a regular car for rental if I wanted to travel anywhere so

Never heard of the Ally

Idk dude if I'm going to be dating someone, even if it might only be a few dates, I'm not gonna put time and effort into setting up dates with other people. Might not be single but also gonna explain that I'm seeing someone and am not available at that time

You can actually see the monster in the well if you stop the frame quick enough.

It uh... It doesn't look particularly good. It's some kind of humanoid snake monster... You remember how in Bird Box they didn't want to show the creatures because the design for them was so hilariously bad, that Sandra Bullock literally couldn't act the scene out without laughing at the absurdity of the monster design?

Yeah, it's that bad.

What if the rope is actually the snake

I had no idea some states required front and back plates until this year, lol. My state has always been a back only one.

I had the opposite revelation last year, that not every state requires two plates.

So "what if we made A Quiet Place, but slightly different"

Lol that's what I thought

Also the rope stops the unknown thing? Come on sounds awful

sold my tesla stock so can't vote but if I could that'd be a NO from me dog

Along those lines I recommend Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo

Absolute bangers of games and the best in the genre for sure. They don't hit that nostalgia note for me though

Also not *city-building*, but if you liked those old school management games like Theme Hospital and Rollercoaster Tycoon you should check out Two Point Hospital, Two Point Campus, Parkitect and Megaquarium.

Never played Caesar 3, but Pharaoh is awesome. The remaster is basically a graphical update which retains the original art style and all the original obnoxious city planning idiosyncrasies.

I tried Children of the Nile for a little bit, it gives similar vibes but is a little simpler I think.

You might like the Anno series, though it has a bigger emphasis on managing supply chains to advance. In some games it's not so bad but the latest (and best one) kicks my ass hard.

The Tropico series is fun too. Only stick to the even number games though. 2 is dated but works well on modern systems and has a totally different setting and gameplay focus - you're a pirate king on a pirate island and you have to build your settlements around the concept of keeping your servant labor scared and compliant while at the same time making your pirates feel free and rowdy and wild

I can't choose. Some are pretty meaningless to me (I don't care to see howbsomeone cares about me and I don't need a waypoint if I have GPS navigation).

But unlimited fuel / car never breaking down, and fast travel... those are both really useful

Maybe he'll rebrand SpaceX to S and Tesla to Y and PayPal to E because middle school humor

i played a few hundred hours of gta 4 online, but never gta 5 online, oddly enough.

4 was hacked to shit so i just assumed 5 would be really bad too but it sounds like i missed out

5 Online was a ridiculously complex experience. When it launched originally, about a month or two after 5 came out, it was a little more basic - you could buy garages, buy apartments/houses, modify cars, but most of the money and experience earning activities were instanced matchmaking things (ranging from PvP death match to car races to PvE missions like in the main game).

But they've added so frigging much now. There are heists that comprise multiple planning missions culminating in the actual heists, all sorts of businesses to buy and operate (like an arcade and you can buy more arcade machines that you can actually play), a submarine with cruise missiles and submarine dock and helipad, a night club, you can buy a hangar for storing and modifying aircraft and run smuggling operations out of it, you can run drug and money counterfeiting operations, a chop shop, an underground gun smuggling ring.

Many of these businesses also come with their own special operations centers that you can drive around and run more missions out of.

And a lot of the stuff has splashed out from the instanced content to open world content, so you can steal someone's car as they're trying to deliver it to a seller or destroy someone's helicopter as they're trying to drop off stolen medicine.

It is absurdly well developed and fun with friends in closed sessions but good luck in the public world.

Last time I played there'd be some modder or other who would spam a cash service message and then crash your game. And 98% of the time if you try to report a modder, their mod intercepts the hacking message and you die and then the game crashes.

Man this has been a surreal experience. There weren't any real changes since Sunday, I went through the whole range of emotions and said a lot of things I wanted to say to her and have just been sitting here for the majority of each day. At some point I started having these naive thoughts that maybe she would actually end up recovering somehow just because her condition wasn't really worsening.

Today though the catheter bag has gone from the same yellow it's been in to a cranberry red color so I know it's getting worse.

I'm also confused by how it's all playing out, she hasn't eaten or had any water in over a week now and that just seems unreal.

I feel like a lover lol I've been so spoiled with modern MMOs that even in RS3 I never took the time to really learn the new mechanics. I know it's probably easier in 3 than OS but I still feel dumb and overwhelmed with it all

I always try to claim free games where I can. I even just recently added World of Warships to my Steam account just so I could get a paid DLC that was being given away free.

I like big numbers on my Steam account.

Too bad they did everything else wrong with that game, at least on PC.

Never experienced anything so beautiful and well crafted yet so tainted by malicious modders. I would probably play nothing else but GTA Online if I could just play in peace

I was always curious about gear switching in RS (and it is probably different from OS and 3). Like do you just carry a second set of gear with you and manually click each one to switch over? Or are there hotkey's like in other games.

Only 98% certain this is a troll topic based on the conspicuous timing of the only response from TC.

Please let this topic go into the ether

No one is born Christian.

There is a lot of stuff I hate about this topic I'm out

I was playing recently, too, made it through the first few levels and realized I was just barely getting by and not collecting anything...

Never did play the others as a kid but I have to hope they are better.

idk, he should have just stopped, right?

Sounds like he did.

Article makes it sound like the area was super busy and the guy was probably a little confused about what he needed to be doing, especially since cop hand signals can be absolute confusing garbage.

Only way I can listen to that song

https://youtu.be/DkPday5mB4s?si=C5QUF_zZI4VGSTZc

Barely remember any Oasis song now and I had many of their albums.

I only learned about city pop last summer but something about it feels very comfortable and familiar (only thing I can think of is anime opening/credit songs or maybe soundtracks to late 90s/early 2000s games like Sonic?)

The standard rate of $9.99 for Proton gives you more than just VPN though. You also get email, calendar, cloud storage, password manager, email alias creator and manager and brrach detection. All of which is encrypted and accessible from your phone, tablet, computer, whatever.

The email alias feature is great. Mozilla offers something similar (though you have to pay for more than 5). The idea is that if one account is breached, they just get a bum email address that you just discard and generate a new one.

And they have historically given extra perks to subscribers over the years. As an early adopter I got extra storage space, more simultaneous VPN connections than I'll ever need, etc.

Oh. Sci fi game is called Endless Space

I have that and 2 but never touched either. Apparently not alone there either since the achievements earned drops to like 13% after the first few in each game lol

I wonder if they had this up like 100 years ago if people would be trolling each other, too

I wanted to get into this game but I just couldn't stand it.

Glad I'm not alone then.

Well thanks. Already paid for it tho rip. Only got 2 cheevos too

I miss my childhothat show, it was fantastic

So fucking sad. How does a 10 year old even think about things like this?? Why didn't the school system do more? Why didn't the parents do more if they knew he complained almost two dozen times bit there was no reaction? If that happened to my kid and the school didn't do anything about it I'd file a lawsuit and get my kid into a different school.

Fucking tragic. Kid looks like a normal kid.

I thought it was going to be based on the show.

Same and I got excited.

My big dream is basically Witcher 3 but in the Supernatural universe. Driving a classic car around between cities, hunting things, making demon traps, exorcising demons.

Maybe the main character would be one of the other Yellow Eyed Demon-touched kids (now a young adult) who is getting into the world of hunting. You could use traditional weapons and equipment to forego your demon blood powers. Using the demon blood powers would require certain sacrifices though (for instance, maybe instead of exorcising a demon you consume the blood of the possessed person instead).

And of course there would be classic difficult decisions to make - do you kill a hunter to save a family of werewolves that the evidence suggests hasn't killed anyone? And if you do, maybe one of them DOES go rogue and give in to the lust for human flesh and you end up having to put him down several hours later.

I mean the whole universe is great for a game. Maybe you start out with some dumb shack where you can only store a minimal amount of supplies, but at some point you can defeat a den of vampires to claim some larger house. Maybe you can sell your hunting trophies if you need cash for supplies, or display them in your car and house as decorations.

Ugh never going to happen. But I wish it would
