Kazaam. I remember that summer of 1996 (I was 15 years old btw). My cousins and I (it was like 5+ of us) went to the movie theater to watch some rated R movie (I don't remember the name of that movie) and I didn't feel like watching that movie with my cousins so I decided to bail on them and watch a different movie and I didn't see anything noteworthy so I just picked Kazaam.

You might need one of those breathing machines for when you sleep. My dad's been on one for the last 10+ years for his sleep apnea.

Building up your cardio wouldn't hurt.

I absolutely hate being around other people/working jobs where I have to work with other people.

Same.

I think if I had a stay-at-home job I'd be in bliss.

Also same, only if I didn't have to talk on the phone with anyone ever and if I could work as little or as much as I wanted per day. Even better, just give me UBI and let me not have to work ever again.

My mental illness makes being unemployed a dream come true. Sure I'll have to wake up eventually, but that's a problem for future me.

Yeah, but multi-factor is so absurdly obnoxious that every time I'm forced to use it I genuinely wish an EMP would hit us and force us back 30-40 years.

LOL the one I hate the most is the website that has a "Remember my device to skip 2nd factor next time" option on login, yet when you go back later, it still forces you to log in with the 2nd factor (even though I have cookies enabled and even though I tried it on multiple different browsers). What is the point of the "Remember my device" in this scenario?

Also I cannot stand websites that force you to use SMS and give you absolutely no other option for two factor AND won't even let you turn off two factor.

Can't wait for Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie The Game.

Also, a really good trick for protecting a database: password length is way more important than complexity.

example: the second one is a vastly superior stronger password than the first one.

look into password haystacks if you want all the details.

It's safer to have 100s of unique passwords for every website you use that look like jumbled mess of misery of lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers, and symbols, (aka passwords you cannot possibly remember) and have them all locked inside an encrypted database protected by one really good long password you can remember.

It's safer to keep that database offline, but most people prefer the convenience of having it online to access it from multiple devices. I keep mine offline.

Good luck TC. Hope it isn't anything serious.

The 30s age range is when all our bad habits come to collect.

I'm 44 and feel just as healthy as I was in my 20s. I have been exercising daily since 2019 though and have always been eating fairly healthy all my life. Now mental health, I've been totally screwed since childhood.

44 years old, never tried it once.

No job, no money, haven't played SA, 4 or 5 yet (even though I have them).

I haven't watched The Simpsons since the Saiyan saga so I'm probably not going to understand wtf is going on in this movie.

I have watched entire games being played without commentary. Sometimes I just want to see the entire game without paying to play it, or if it's an old game that doesn't exist on any modern platforms anymore, or if it's a game I've already played through but just want to see if I missed anything or if another player plays through the game differently.

I recently watched a longplay no commentary of Police Quest: SWAT. It's an old game that still exists/playable but I just didn't want to pay to play it. I did play it once back in the 90s at a cousins house and recently remembered it so I wanted to just see the whole game because I remember it being creepy as hell.

question for some one who does not play minecraft do PC players ever bother with the DLC when every possible idea in existence is alreadly done by mods

depends if you play bedrock or java edition.

Bedrock edition is the one with DLC garbage and microtransactions for simple stuff like character skins, texture packs, etc.

Java edition is the true and only version of Minecraft.

44 and never been on a date in my life. If I did date, I'd be extremely picky about who I'd want to date. I will not date anyone just because they liked me or were attracted to me. I want someone that matches my personality, likes, hobbies, experience, etc. I'd just be too picky. So I don't bother.

My dreams most of the time are fairly mundane. It's usually just me living the same life I do now except in an alternate reality. The house might be slightly different or the street I live on might be slightly different, that sort of thing. Or sometimes I'll dream about being in school again except in an alternate reality.

Very rarely I will have a scifi esque dream about seeing weird planes, helicopters or alien ships in the night sky over my house.

Super super super rarely I will dream about actually having a girlfriend. Waking up after those dreams always puts me in a sad mood for about a minute.

Then there is the "can't talk about it here on gamefaqs" dreams. I get those a few times a year.

I had tons of fun playing through the Myst series going in blind. Riven was my favorite.
Playing through the Zero Escape Trilogy bind was a lot of fun.

I thought i'd be that. I was fully accepting of it. I embraced my status.

Well good job breaking that wall. I'm never going to get there because I have no job, no money, no friends, no social life, no transportation and I never go outside and on top of all that, I'm extremely picky about who I'd want to have sex with. So it's absolutely not happening for me. But I'm good with it. Can't always get what we want.

I'm not even that bad looking either because girls have showed interest in me (and in some cases, told me they were attracted to me) in the past. I just couldn't take the first step.

44 year old virgin here. Congrats.

Unironically me. For me it's like I would like a relationship but at the same time I don't feel like I deserve one because I'm the textbook definition of a total loser with negative one million self confidence and negative one million social skills and also don't really care to put any effort into fixing myself or finding someone so I'm just not going to bother. I've got so many issues that a relationship just simply isn't feasible for someone like me. I let my social anxiety rule my life.

Depends what I am playing. Something like Minecraft, Factorio, Stardew Valley, Terraria, Rimworld, I can do 5-6 hours a day easy. (unemployed 44 year old btw)

At 44 years old. I never get fever/headaches/pain so I never take OTC medication. It's been this way all my life. I'm sure that will change someday but for now I don't need meds.

I never skip an episode of anything (regardless of time of year).

I watched every episode of endless eight.

I've done absolutely nothing with my life in the last quarter century other than gaming and tv. No friends, never going outside, no job, nothing. I started daily exercising in 2019 and have kept it up to today as well.

I do not get bored of it. I wish I could live this way until I die.

I've got 527 games claimed for free totaling over $11k worth and I haven't played one yet. I've been keeping a spreadsheet.

I'm a 44 year old man child that never grew up and still enjoys every single repeated anime trope. I've watched over 18,000 episodes of anime so far and I'm not stopping yet.

It took me about 9 months to watch 600~ episodes of One Piece back in 2012-13 when it only had 600~ episodes at the time.

I live with my parents who pay:

$45/mo for 1 gbps home internet.
$79/mo for 3 lines and 1GB of shared data and one line gets road side assistance.

I still don't trust wireless mouse/keyboards or wireless headphones even though they all probably work fine now.

There are tons of tv series I haven't seen yet but a few off the top of my head:

Breaking Bad
The Sopranos
Game of Thrones
Band of Brothers
Six Feet Under
The Wire
Mad Men
Stranger Things
Squid Game
Fargo
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Twin Peaks
Lost
The West Wing
Scrubs
The Office

Movies, pretty much 90% of everything from the last 25 years. I don't like movies all that much.

I only bought 1 cassette and 1 cd in my life both the same album:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_(R.E.M._album)#

I've never listened to R.E.M. ever again since that album and since the mid 90s.

I didn't really like music back then and I was only just experimenting. Now I only listen to JPOP and video game music.

Are you in the US? If you don't have an income (or very low income, I'll have to look up the maximum you can earn), you should qualify for Medicaid.

I live with my parents and they make too much for me to quality for medicaid. Also the cheapest insurance I can find on healthcare.gov for my area is $470+ per month (which might go way more expensive up next year). Not worth it IMO. My dentist plan in comparison is $300 per year which my parents are okay with paying for.

I haven't been to the doctor in probably 30+ years. I dread what cancers I might have not knowing. I feel like I'm good though and my last dentist visit blood pressure reading was 106/77. I currently weigh 118 lbs (5'10") so if anything I'm just really underweight. I've been exercising daily since Jan 1st 2019 and have kept it up to today though so I feel like I'm good. I only get headaches like once or twice a year. I rarely ever get stomach cramps. I'm pretty regular in the BM department. I cut sugar consumption way down in the last 6+ years. I quit soda 20+ years ago and I only drink water. I've never tried alcohol in my life. I eat fairly healthy food only.

I should go see a doctor but I have no money no insurance so oh well.

I've never seen this series and have no idea what it's about. I assume it's good? Tag topic.

I got like 4 (silver, amalgam) fillings back in the mid 90s that lasted until 2020 when my dentist recommended they be replaced with composite fillings. I got them replaced and it's been fine so far. There wasn't anything I needed to do differently.

Granted I didn't go to the dentist from 2000 to 2020 and never flossed during that entire time. I've been going twice per year since and now brush and floss twice a day.

My dad (borderline type 2 diabetic at the time) used to take ozempic a few years before social media turned it into what it's known for now. It didn't work at all for weight loss but it did help control blood sugar a little bit. But while on ozempic, he never changed his unhealthy diet.

What did work was when he quit ozempic and started exercising and cut 95%~ of carbs out of his diet. He lost 70-80 lbs in about a year and now his blood sugar is perfectly normal and he is no longer at diabetic risk.

You said you were undiagnosed, right? If you can get a doctor's written document that you are indeed on the spectrum, then your chances of getting approved go way up.

Well I mean undiagnosed as in I probably have it but I'm not 100% sure. My mom showed me an episode of survivor from the latest season with a girl that is autistic and she had this big panic attack after winning a competition and she was crying and hyperventilating in an uncontrolled manner and it took like 10+ minutes for her to calm down. When I saw that, It looked exactly how my panic attacks are except mine last way longer.

But I don't have health insurance and I haven't seen a doctor in 25+ years. I've never been tested for it. I have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and depression, but that was in spring of 2000. I was on medication for both for a few months and I quit taking them because they made me feel worse. I've been happy ever since getting off the medication and don't really feel like I need to pursue disability checks.

The morale dilemma is, I don't believe I deserve to be on disability. I don't believe I am incapable of working. I just don't want to work. If my parents made me go to a doctor to try to get approved for disability, I'd be honest and say to the doctor "I don't believe I should be on disability because I don't believe I am disabled." And even if I didn't say that, I still believe that I wouldn't qualify. Aside from being a shut-in that never goes outside in public more than 3-4 times a year, I'm just a guy that doesn't work and lives with his parents. As long as I don't do anything stress inducing (like being around people or talking on the phone), I'm just fine.

I am lonely as hell though, but I can't possibly ever see myself in a relationship. 4 different girls showed interest in me in my school days and I was too scared to ask any of them out. As I am now, I can't stand the thought of dating. I have less than zero self confidence. I don't feel like I deserve anyone.

As for what I am going to do after my parents are gone. Hell if I know.

nocturnal_traveler posted...

Do you at least get Disability or SSI?

Nope. I don't believe I can qualify so I don't bother trying. If my parents believed I could get on it, they would have made me apply decades ago.

I'm 44 and still live with my parents. I never moved out.
I have a few cousins that are older than me that also still live with their parents and never moved out.
I have one uncle that stayed with his parents until he was 50+ before finally moving out. I have one aunt that stayed with her parents until her parents passed away and then moved in with one of her sisters that was married.

I don't want to move out because I hate the idea of working for a living. I have severe social anxiety and probably undiagnosed autism and I hate being around people so getting a job is just not for me. I also hate driving and I live too far away from businesses to walk and I can't bike either. I don't like talking on the phone either so stay-at-home jobs are not for me either. All I know how to be is a leech and my parents accept me for that. I have no idea what's going to happen after my parents are gone though.

I only like remakes that update graphics/music and fix bugs and leave everything else exactly the same as the original. I do not like remakes that drastically change the game.

I'm okay with like maybe one new level/area added to a remake that's completely optional though.

I only had field trips in elementary school. We didn't have any in jr high or high school.

I absolutely love romance genre anime but when it comes to games like harvest moon or stardew valley, I always go the bachelor route. Get all the girls hearts to max and then not marry anyone.

Never have never will. Also never heard of the term "waterfall" when describing sharing drinks.

Strider102 posted...

Speaking of Stardew Valley, the developer is working on version 1.7.

I thought the last update was the final one. I figured he would focus his work on Haunted Chocolatier. Okay I just looked up the news. Yeah he's still working on HC while working on SV v1.7. Sounds good to me.

That would be so cool to attend.

I replay S3&K and Mania every now and then. Such good games.
