  1. I haven't thought about that, but I do need to move my system to a better ventilation area. I have a sound bar right behind it blocking air flow.
  2. That sounds like fun; I am interested in some RDR2 gameplay.
  3. I used to be into nonfiction books like history, philosophy, health, science, psychology; but it has become strictly fiction now. My brain requires entertainment and to be taken to another world. I will rub my toes on my rifle while I read fantasy. Reality I know what is coming; a reminder; war; mayhem; genocide; fire; destruction; I'm breaking away into fantasyland. The real world is ice cold. I sip my tea and take in the wonderful thoughts of fantasy. That swallow was bitter; a quick reminder of war to come; I keep reading...Beautiful worlds, interesting characters; but tomorrow I may have to fight. I turn the page. Dragons and castles; magic and heroism; true heroes; the righteous; where the righteous has a clear definition; but in the real world I am faced with too much stupidity. I ponder the beautiful world I just read; and a split second thought creeps in that I may have to fight a war; a war to protect the good; I keep reading; it is peaceful; yet there is violence; the distinction between good and evil is clear; that barrel is cold; soon it will catch fire; it will have to protect me; it will cry and leave black powder stains in its wake; the real world becomes a war; a war that never should have happened if people had any conscious morality; but I will defend what is good; the day is coming; I turn the page; oh yeah; monsters and magic in a beautifully made up world; creativity that leaves me imagining it as I lay to sleep; it could be tomorrow I fight a war; but tonight I dream about better places; war... fantasy... war...fantasy...reality...war...reality...fantasy... fiction...nonfiction...war...oh god help us all...
  4. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Flynn now should face a court martial for calling for a coup. In the U.S. military, anyone that commits or promotes treason could get military justice whether they are retired or not. A colonel has offered to take him in. I don't know whose decision it would be. But Flynn no doubt incited treason. And now he denies it after being caught on video. Flynn also plead guilty for making false statements to the FBI and trump pardoned him. The guy should be in prison. If the laws won't take him down, let the military justice take him down. Fucking disgrace.
  5. And no, I'm not against protecting oneself and others in a pandemic. I'm talking of mass extinction of humans by a cataclysmic event out of our control. I don't think a virus will eradicate every human. There shouldn't be any of us left standing. Completely wiped out like the dinosaurs.
  6. I think the human animal should be eradicated. Not for political or racial reasons or done in any murderous way. But because of parasitic reasons, nature needs to eradicate us.
  7. I don't know, I think lizards and frogs feed on mosquitoes when those vampires are in full mayhem, which in return birds, rats, and snakes feed on the lizards and frogs.
  8. Immortals and Valhalla looks like a sweet bundle. You probably know my take on Valhalla, it's a bad ass game. I probably would have gotten the bundle if it was available at the time, cause Immortals looks pretty fun too.
  9. I just bought The Last of Us 2; I'm excited!
  10. You could get a sniper rifle and put you in a tower. Or mount a machine gun on top of an assault vehicle. Rip some bandits to shreds and let the mist of blood freshen your skin on a hot summer day.
  11. They should have a state of the art VR war game that the countries play and will go on how ever long it takes till one surrenders. I can't think of the prize for winning or what you lose if you surrender. But they will have real world stats and arsenal to imitate in the game. Maybe the losers should be jailed for 10 years, so your freedom will make you play your best.
  12. I want to be reincarnated and try this life all over again. Definitely would not want to be a ghost forever. Actually, it would be amazing to see how the world turns out. I changed my mind. I want to be a ghost to witness history.
  13. 1000 posts! I'm about to pass you up @DC
  14. In case you thought I was crazy, here is what we are facing in the U.S. Former trump national security adviser, former Lt general, QANON supporter, Michael Flynn gave a speech this weekend in Dallas, Tx and said the U.S. should stage a coup like Myanmar. The crowd cheers. That is treason plain and simple. https://www.businessinsider.com/michael-flynn-said-us-should-have-a-coup-like-myanmar-2021-5
  15. At first I thought, you can't be serious. But sure enough some republican states are now signing bills into law that would use hydrogen cyanide, which was the same gas used by the Nazis in extermination camps. And another republican state is allowing the use of a firing squad. Currently what is used is lethal injection and the electric chair. The chair seems pretty barbaric too, but I don't know what to think about the republican new fascination with firing squads and gas used by Nazis. This seems to me a clear warning sign of the direction republicans are running towards. Almost as if they are trying new things for in their minds of what is to come. Mass incarceration and genocide maybe? They have been obsessed with rushing the killing of death row inmates. Maybe some deserve to die for the things they have done. But this direction of execution is scary. To witness this simmering in their minds is scary. Because at what point are they gonna cross the line and execute prisoners that doesn't deserve it? It's very disgraceful to say the least. We should all be very concerned by this.
  16. I would go on foot. I can't stand noisy donkeys. They sound like freakin dinosaurs, as if I knew right? I swear you can hear donkeys miles away. You probably should have secretly encoded the question donkey or elephant. (blue vs red). But elephants take up all the room and resources if you know what I mean. A giraffe would be difficult getting around some places, under a bridge or barn, even trees if you wanted to go through woods. But I would probably end up choosing a donkey so I can see over its head.
  17. Do you believe there is systemic racism in the USA? I don't think you understand how deep racism is here. I myself comes from a white family. I'm Hispanic and look white with Hispanic features, Hispanic from Spain, not Mexico. My mom is white. My sister is white like your everyday white girl. I was raised with them two. It's even hard for me to imagine what people go through that don't have white blood in them. I've gotten beat up by cops twice. Once on a school morning when I was still in high school. And another later on before the age of phone cameras. I was singled out of a crowd, shoved to the ground and beat up by cops in a crowd of white people, who were near a construction site and police were trying to clear the area. I had no clue what was going on. I was just talking on my phone minding my own business. So if my features are enough to create violence, anyone darker than me is so screwed in this country. I ask you to sympathize a little more. BLM may have its faults, but the oppressors have even more. And the past administration has turned 60% of whites into nazis as that is the percent that voted for the outright bigot a second time. And we have a civil war brewing in the face of racism we haven't had since our first civil war while blacks were fucking slaves. So I ask again, can you show a little more sympathy? I can understand where you come from being white. Like I said, I grew up in the white environment and have witnessed the ignorance of it in my own family and friends first hand. My own mother denied racism existed in the neighborhood we lived in. She told me to dress better, get clean cut, and stand up straight. But never acknowledged racism. So it ate away at me for a long time. I began to get anxiety and think something was wrong with me. But I realize now, this whole time they were racist. And when I got a Mexican girlfriend, I finally was able to talk about these things with someone who was familiar with it and sees racism firsthand too as she lived in the same area. WTF are people to do at this point when politicians are now actively working against them and falling in step with white supremacist views?
  18. This is AC Origins I played tonight. This picture says a lot. You have an assassin in armor a foot away from a vulnerable flamingo. And it sits there in the water knowing it can spread its wings any moment. And to get this close I have never experienced in wildlife in any game. His hands are raised like it's gonna strangle it. The assassin is dangerous, but he is curious and so is the flamingo. When humans interact with wildlife. What happens next is up to the human. Since I'm controlling Bayek, I respect its life. I left in black and white because color is even more dramatic. You saw it here first in case someone wants to claim it. I took a hundred pictures in this moment. I love this stuff. They created it. I caught it.
  19. $4.99 it's available GOTY edition. Think I'll get it; anyone else play it? https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP1018-CUSA01939_00-SHADOWMORDORGOTY
  20. Aww good point of not caring about unionizing their workforce. That's the key I think and usually companies that are against unionizing favor poorer work conditions. Walmart and Amazon are two big examples of anti-unionization and abuse of employees. I think it's time gaming companies start talking about this because too much bad shit is going on.
  21. This really is a disappointment. You just never know what goes on behind the products that you like. I fully respect the team and they deserve better leadership than what they have. I’ll take the Chlamydia because I’m not gonna stop playing AC games. But if their leadership isn’t going to make serious changes, that will ultimately affect the team and their product just as stated in the video. I wouldn’t think it’s grounds for a boycott unless they were donating their money to a bad cause. I fully support their team and as employees, they need to support their coworkers and stage a strike or talk about it with reporters or an outside ethics source. Cause it seems their HR and leadership aren’t doing enough even after their past attempt for change because the problems continue. And that in itself is proof enough of a toxic workplace. Only if employees come out in public and talk about these things, then the leadership will get the spotlight and hopefully resign. We should never just look the other way, and those that are always in a state of denial lets these things persist. And denial is just another name for ‘cancel culture’ conspiracy. All allegations should be investigated. And just as the guilty need accountability, so do falsifiers (Karens).
