A new UI theme would be cool
Lamarr the strelok replied to NightmareFarm's topic in Questions & Suggestions
The UI is fine for me. OP I don't know about Windows but in Linux you can get different themes for the OS or browser that'll change the appearance and color of some things. -
Content-related deal-breakers in deciding to play a game?
Lamarr the strelok replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Interesting.I guess I've been lucky and havn't been frustrated by Quick time events. Not too many games I play have many of them though.And I thought it was only me that gets stuck in games.I admit I can be dumb in games sometimes but it is frustrating. I love the modern tomb raiders but I have the walkthroughs bookmarked.I generally don't like puzzles.Lemme rephrase that: I f***ing hate puzzles in games.Online requirements for single player games is a no go for me.Which sucks because I wanted Far cry 6 on PC but gotta get it for PS4 now. And Ubi sucks so I'm gonna get it used.I guess I'm a prude but I don't like much nudity in games either.And since I love animals more than humans I only kill animals when I need to.And parents be VERY careful about killing animals in games when kids are watching and make sure they have proper compassion for animals.This is very important for not having a fucked up kid when they grow up. -
What's the absolute worst game you've ever played?

Why Does 40% Of Gen Z Identify as LGBT?
Lamarr the strelok replied to The Blackangel's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion
I usually don't bother with these types of threads. Sorta like talking about particle physics to a toddler.MK Ultra didn't have anything to do with being straight or gay.I'll give you an example of toxic masculinity. It's when a piece of shit blames a woman for getting raped because of the way she dressed. There are plenty of other examples but I'm not doing your fucking research for you.And alex jones is real news to you? He's too busy worrying about paying the parents of a massacre he denied even happened. But that makes sense because it seems you're obsessed with testosterone.The right just loves being told how tough they have it.So emasculated.Poor things.You've been watching too many boner pill ads.I'm a straight white dude over fiddy and I still have plenty of testosterone.Bigly. I didn't even bother watching the original vid because I'm sure it's a skewed poll or whatever they pulled out of their ass.The thought of choosing your sexuality is just silly.I would LOVE having a debate with a republican but they've slowly lost their fucking minds over the years.I'll end here because the dude may already be banned and I'm wasting my time. -
Sony, You Idiots! PS5 Price Increase Announced
Lamarr the strelok replied to Shagger's topic in Gaming News
Speaking only for myself but yes modern Rockstar/take 2 are especially greedy.And yes I'd put them in the same category as EA as far as being greedy.No corporation is your friend, but they're both especially greedy.With Sony pulling this crap I have to add them to the really greedy category also. -
Sony, You Idiots! PS5 Price Increase Announced
Lamarr the strelok replied to Shagger's topic in Gaming News
I've had the PS 1 -4. It's been my favorite console.Now,fuck 'em. Always online for the new Gran Turismo , The doubling of their sub service I was on. 70 dollar games. I'm in the US so there's not a price increase but it's just shitty.I'm having fun with my PS 4 and pc but IDK what/if my next console will be.I'm at a bit of a crossroads with gaming now. PC parts are overpriced and Sony pulls this bullshit.I'll be using my PS4 and my PC for a good while.Christ you gotta be pretty bad if you make Microsoft look good by comparison.Sony is getting too greedy lately. I can feel their arrogance and if they keep it up they'll fuck themselves with this BS. -
Linux, Unix, Dos. What the hell is the difference?
Lamarr the strelok replied to The Blackangel's topic in PC
VERY generally: UNIX was invented in 1969. Linux was invented and was partially based on UNIX. DOS was (pre windows 95) windows.Parts of UNIX were free but Linux is fully free. You used to have to pay for Windows. I'd suggest going to wikipedia and check out UNIX, Linux, and DOS. Even if you're not tech savvy you can learn some stuff by reading the articles on them. You'll probably learn some stuff you hadn't known before. There are and were some seriously smart people in all 3.Some parts of that tech are still in use from that time,albeit they're updated to modern specs. If you're a tech geek like me this stuff is awesome. -
I didn't watch the main video and seldom watch that hack Dr. Phil. I'm not a perfect parent at all but if that was my kid His console would be taken away and he'd be pulling weeds in the yard for a few hours every day for a while . The important thing is it's worthless parenting. And the kid didn't just start that shit at the age of 12. He was allowed to do this type of shit from about the age of 2.I've seen this kind of worthless parenting and it's ALWAYS the parent's fault. Kids' job is to try getting away with everytrhing and it's the parents job to discipline their kids and not allow a kid to run their household.Your kids aren't your friends.They're your kids.Make them listen .

What's the absolute worst game you've ever played?
Lamarr the strelok replied to harleyqbx's topic in Gaming Forum
Just....wow. That's just terrible.And even considering it's age the sound is like they got 2 samples of a dog and enemies voices from a 20 dollar casio keyboard. I've heard of how bad this game is over the years but again, just wow. -
What's the absolute worst game you've ever played?
Lamarr the strelok replied to harleyqbx's topic in Gaming Forum
I was thinking you guys and gals were maybe being unfair to older games because of their older tech. Then I saw the Veronica video and changed my mind. That game looks like it's a ps1 game.Duck hunt had better weapon handling. None of the guns even have a reticle! It was so bad I couldn't help but watch the whole 28 minute video.The actual game is longer than 30 minutes though right? Just hilariously awful. My worst game I've played is from Atari called you are empty. I got it for PC when gamestop had pc games on disc.My PC exceeded the requirements but it would crash often during the first screen before the game even started. I was able to play it a bit and it was sorta cool but the game would just crash almost all the time.It was so bad I didn't even bother bringing it back to gamestop. I bought it for under 10 bux.I still have the disc and box for it and it's so bad I had to keep it. I think I've seen more doors in that 26 minute video of Veronica than I have in over 40 years of gaming. Just awful. -
OK I've heard of a hookah.It's a kind of water pipe to smoke pot in.Also called a bong here. Never heard of shisha.I thought it was a drug.

Smokers have been treated as lepers for decades.What the hell is Shisa? Also the scary 'mainstream media' regularly has stories about the opioid crisis.That's a you problem if you can't find reliable news.

Virtue signalling.It used to be you just felt good for a little while if a woman breaks a glass ceiling or a mentally disabled person gets a little victory in sports.Nope you're virtue signalling. Narcissist is a better known word than it was 20 years ago. People like Elon Musk and others have made the word more recognized. Being PC dates to a bit more than 30 years ago at least.There was a show called politically incorrect 29 years ago. I agree it can go too far but it's interesting where it came from.It's simple really. It's one group of people insisting they want to call other groups of people certain names.They don't want to call black people African Americans.They don't want to call Asians Asians.They don't want to call disabled people disabled people.You can figure out what they do want to call them.

I forgot my AC .It's gonna be super hot tomorrow and I feel for anyone without AC.Even with a fan high heat is miserable.

Since politics has been a fucking grease fire here in the Usa,I havn't paid much attention to UK politics. Boris seems more like a dipshit than someone who is malicious.I don't know of any of his policies .As for his homophobic etc comments, I don't know how often he says that shit but we've all said something stupid before and learned from it hopefully. If I was a voter I would be curious of how the candidate looks at race and other things.And there is a difference between saying one dumb/racist thing every 30 years and consistently degrading gays or minorities,etc. I am NOT implying Boris is a raging racist as I don't care enough about UK politics to explore it. It's hard to look into someone's heart.

Blackangel and DC: I can only speak for my self but I was planning on joining Resetera but they require a different email provider so that was out. Then I thought they must have just a shitload of stuff I may not really be interested in.So I did a Yahoo search for video game forums and VGR was one of them. I checked out a few others but chose VGR because I liked the conversations about games here.Iwas very picky about what forum I was going to join.I'm on the north side of fiddy and been playin teh vidya games over 40 years so I don't need any foolishness . I must go yell at some clouds now.(god im old)

Yeah smoking is just part of my life unfortunately.Nicotine addiction sucks.I don't mean to brag about it.

It might be just me but it seems general gaming topics are sorta hard for me to find.I've been here a while and still get confused.I'm sorry I can't describe exactly what it is.And it may be my mediocre internet but sometimes trying to post, the text cursor doesn't show up and I'm unable to type anything. I don't have that problem with other sites but I eventually get it to work. I've been on forums for quite a few years and the search for this site is easily the best I've tried. I only put in a few words of the thread into the search and boom there it is.You have politics properly in a different section so that helps inclusivity.I've had a good time here.

EDIT: I'm speaking of the USA. Sorry, we Americans think everything revolves around us.

Meh.I Can't really say much if this thread isn't in the debate section.Politics and the rise of twitface et al are a lot different now. Lady part laws have recently changed as well.

First I thought I was too old to understand NFT/blockchain.Then I thought maybe I'm too dumb to understand NFT"s/crypto.Now I realize I was wrong on both counts and NFT"s /crypto is just a scam.I have really enjoyed the last 3 Tomb Raider games and a couple of the Deus ex games were fun too.I'm glad they got away from Squeenix.If they go hard into crypto they will eventually come down hard.They have some dumbasses in high places at Squeenix.

Sony plans to end the PS4 by 2025
Lamarr the strelok replied to The Blackangel's topic in Gaming News
I've only had my PS4 for 2-3 years and been having a blast.There is a difference because I don't think MS or Sony had the kinds of parts problem going from one gen to the next. 2025 will be PS4's 12th birthday so that's a long time for tech.And it may not be 3090 performance but Miles Morales looks freaking gorgeous on my 55 inch tv @ about 6 feet away.It will be quite a while before I start wanting a PS5.I game on PC too so that helps I guess.
