Thanks for giving me a headache. Just what I needed this morning. But I get it, sometimes it's better to be direct, sometimes it better to be subtle/less confrontational.

Have you ever heard of public toilets not being free or encountered the situation personally? I must admit I charged $1.00 for my guests in Rollercoaster Tycoon to use public restrooms. Entrepreneurial spirit!

What in the world should be free of cost? Here are a couple initial ideas - Putting air into tires Funerals ATM products Feminine products Specifically sanitary napkins, tampons, menstrual products, etc

What’s inappropriate now, but was normal before the pandemic? I'll start - Coughing or sneezing in public places. Everyone hugging Feeling comfortable discussing politics, specifically China Keeping your individual health practices and preferences to yourself

How do you say "I'm not interested" without actually saying "I'm not interested"? I usually say "pass" or "I've got to go" or plain out ignore the person's question/solicitation.

What would you do if you were stuck in a 7 day time loop?

What are some games where the best thing was something other than the actual game?

What was the luckiest thing you’ve experienced in a video game?

What is your favorite video game where you play as the bad guy?

What difficulty do you play on when you first get a game? Does your decision demand on the game and your experience with previous iterations (ie Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc)?

If you were offered a PS5, an Xbox Series X or a high end gaming computer, which one would you pick and why?

Please share. I would think lying, gossip, and betrayal are at the top of the list.

For me it's Blockbuster, Hollywood, and Sears. Screw you Netflix and Amazon!

Is it family member or a friend? For me it's my immediate family (parents, brother, and Uncle primarily) and a couple friends. I'm introverted and keep a small inner circle.

For the sake of this question - dead or alive.

What popular bands or musicians or specific songs do you hear and think to yourself "how the hell did they ever make it big"? This may be controversial but I feel this way about Green Day. Less controversial - Ke$ha and Pit Bull.

Please share your reasons. It really depends for me. For example, I play games like solitaire, chess, and bridge to keep my mind sharp and engaged. I play sports related games like Madden and NBA because I am a sports fan and enjoy competing with and against my favorite players and teams. I play games like PUBM, Battlefield, and Call of Duty because shooters are fun and very social.

What's a game you refuse to uninstall even though you're done with it, and why?

It depends on your definition of friends. For example, I have plenty of people who I will hike with, play basketball with, play chess with, or grab lunch, but true friends - the ones who have my back and I can always count on - I have 2 friends.
