Well, as an atheist I’m not a huge fan of biblical names either
Man, that’s a stupid name. Poor kid permanently tied to a pop culture reference. Two, if the Loki is referring to Marvel. Naming a kid is not an opportunity to express yourself. If you want people to know you like star wars, get a tattoo. Or a bumper sticker. And then I’ll judge you. But leave the kid out of it.
Wow, that’s a steal.
I’m exaggerating here, I only have about 200 laserdiscs. That’s just a portion of my physical media collection. But I do really enjoy them. My toddler calls them “big movies” and we’ve watched Bambi I don’t know how many times. And hell yeah, Jaws and Aliens! I have the Criterion release of Silence of the Lambs, and that has also gotten a lot of play time.
I don’t know if I can pick a favorite artist, my tastes are too varied. There’s a ton of good suggestions in this thread, so a couple album recommendations I have that I don’t see are:
Mannheim Steamroller - Fresh Aire II
Rheostatics - Melville
They had those keyboards in my college labs, too. And those monitors. It’s not bad for a membrane kb. And I like how they look, which is the big reason I did a Dell build. Well, other than the fact that I got the tower at a flea market for like, $20.
Oh, you can’t do shit on the internet these days. Lol. I don’t know of a single browser for it that supports https. I tried installing Steam on it, but the last client supported for it can’t connect anymore. I could probably still play some LAN games with it, but it’s really just for me solo.
I just got a Switch 1, I’m not ready for change!
I’d say anything college or later is modern to me. Probably why I still have a Windows XP gaming PC. XD
After a quick image search, yes. I love it.
That looks really cool. I like whatever style of architecture this is.
I could conceded that my wife and I may be a little uptight, but most of our group is atheist or at least agnostic. So, just an internal uptightness. Lol.
Man, I also miss having a group of board game buddies too. Most of us have toddlers or kindergarteners now, and free time is extremely limited. Later this month we do have a kid free game night I’m really looking forward to. I have some weird old ones nobody has ever played I bust out from time to time to break up the long-form modern games we would normally do, like Arkham Horror.
I mostly grew up with 2D platformers and racing games, but I don’t play them hardly at all anymore. I think part of the appeal of RTS and survival games for me is the freedom. There’s no path to follow, you just wander anywhere and do whatever you want. Games like The Forest, and Fallout 3, and Seven Days to Die are among my faves currently. And for RTS, I like Battlezone II and I’ve dabbled in some Red Alert. I prefer open world freedom in my shooters, too. My favorites are Battlefield 1942 and all of its fantastic mods, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (the original, not the EA one). But I pretty much play everything solo, with bots. I don’t want to play with internet strangers, and it’s rare I get people over for a LAN party.
If you want to try any old board games that don’t get enough love, I recommend Score Four, Twixt, and Touché.
Well, I guess it depends on your definition of fun. Concerts? Board games? Survival or RTS games? Work? We do those. I use edibles sometimes. My wife isn’t a huge fan. Nobody I know approves of smoking.
In my sphere, very few people use it. And it is mostly frowned upon. Primarily, if it’s smoked. It’s regarded as crude, and gross. I’d say edibles are more accepted, but you don’t talk really talk about it.
I didn’t get into blacksmithing until after we got married, so I guess I don’t know what she saw in me. I guess the fact that I’m not involved with anything in the lower chart probably has helps. Could also be my cooking.
Wow, that brings back memories. Discontinued in 2003? I guess we were among the last classes to enjoy its sugary goodness at lunch.
Yeah, I know what you mean. Just this week I got my XP machine out for the first time in months and months. There’s just no time anymore.
Getting my disc drives working was a bit of an adventure. I have a Dell E510 that survived the capacitor plague. But for some reason, the IDE controller is shot. Luckily it had two sata ports for the HDDs, but I ended up getting a pcie sata card and then two IDE to sata adapters for my disc drives. I’m totally surprised that it worked.
They’re back from the Bucket of Death!
