The Blackangel

Goats?

Let’s leave the water temple out of this one. What is/was the hardest task you ever did in OoT? Was it collecting the tunics from the free side? Getting Epona? Or was it sneaking past the guards to meet Zelda? For me, it was the final part of the trading game to get the Big Goron sword. Getting from Lake Hylia to the top of Death Mountain was a pain. Even with Epona. In the 4 minutes given to do it, you have to exit the goofy lake guy’s house, jump on Epona, race across Hyrule field, run through Kakariko village, get to the vertical climb, take the time to kill the tektites on each ledge, make it to the Goron on top of the mountain and speak to him to finish it all. When you get to the top, he’ll use the eyedrops you brought him, and get set to work fixing the broken blade you brought him. While we’re talking about difficult tasks, has anyone ever actually beaten the shooting games, or followed Dampe through his grave in less than a minute? I’ve been playing this game since it dropped, but I’ve never been able to do it.

What game(s) have a boss in a part of the game that is immensely harder to beat than the final boss in your opinion? One of them for me is in Diablo II. Easily it’s Duriel. It’s harder than Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal. I’m not sure why, but that damn daemon is a bitch to beat. I never had a problem with any of the other bosses. Eventually I had to cheat my ass off, so I started creating armor and items that pretty much made me invincible just to beat the damn thing. It’s a good thing the expansion pack doubled the size of your stash. I put them on when I got to Duriel, and then just put them back in my stash after beating it. Has anyone else come across a boss that was harder that the final one?

The only two that come to mind for me is AOE2 and Diablo II. When I got those, it was like my hand was glued to my mouse. There just wasn’t enough hours in the day to play them. @Rain Dew actually told me to get off the computer because I’d been playing for something like 16 hours once. I was obsessed. Luckily I was able to survive.😋

We have all seen the remake of Link’s Awakening. But what other games would you see with updated graphics, ala Link’s awakening, but remain exactly the same game. I think it would be interesting to see Zelda II remade. I don’t know how they could go about doing it, but it would DEFINITELY be a trip. But that’s my first choice. Blaster Master would also be a mind blowing one.

Easily the first Zelda game on NES. It’s a pure masterpiece, and the greatest game in the entire Zelda franchise. The first time I started it up, I was instantly in love with it. I still can’t get enough of it to this day.

I would love have to seen more of Alf. Green blood, eats cats, and cynical as hell. I loved the show. I had the entire series on DVD, but one of our dogs got ahold of it, so I have to get a new copy. But since it ended in the 80’s, don’t want it getting revived. The attitude in Hollywood is completely different than it was in the 80’s, which means that all they would do is completely fuck it up.

We all have to figure out what will be done with our bodies after we die. It’s a fact of life. I’ve always wanted a funeral pyre. Throw in a short wake if you want. A pyre is legal in Colorado (or it was) so I would want my body taken there. If that’s not an option when I die, then I just want to be cremated. I don’t want to be buried. Being as claustrophobic as I am, I just can’t stand the idea of being locked in a box, dropped in a hole, and have hundreds of pounds of dirt thrown on top of me. I could never rest if that’s what was done to me. Stack up a bunch of concrete blocks, douse my ass in lighter fluid, and strike a match. That would be my favorite.

A mohawk. It was an idiotic decision. A woman with a Mohawk?🤢🤮 My hair will stay long forever.

I would be surprised at even that. Putin is already laughing at him and talking shit. And you can’t trust Kimmy any further than you can throw him.

What the hell is marmite? I’ve never in my life heard of it. I thought you were talking about some kind of stone. But it’s kinda hard to eat a rock.

I don’t know who is aware of this, but Adolf has been attacking our neighbors. He’s calling Canada the 51st state, giving them a command to become part of America. He has already deployed soldiers to the southern border. He has said we would use military force to take over the Panama Canal. And he has already talked on the phone with the Danish prime minister demanding that they turn ownership of Greenland over to us. In doing this, he has turned every last ally of ours against us. The European Union is preparing to go to war against America if needs be. They will help the countries Adolf sends our military in to invade. He is going to start World War Three as soon as he demands invasion. He is already issuing orders having everyone with a dark complexion put into concentration camps. Families will be torn away from each other, and never find each other again. He is calling Native Americans not actual citizens. He is essentially saying that anyone who isn’t white with their heritage being 100% of provably European descent is an illegal criminal. Anyone who is brown, yellow, black, red, or any other color of the rainbow has to be kicked out. He is going to cause millions of lives lost, and trillions of dollars worth of destruction. Washington DC will most likely be reduced to rubble, and rightly so. If he wants us hated by the entire planet, he’s 95% of the way there. As soon as the first bullet is fired, everyone will converge on America, and we will become a third world country. I see us being divided between Mexico and Canada. Each country getting 25 states. The United States Of America no longer exists. We’re not united, and the states are nothing but attack zones for him to white wash.

If it’s something that a religion has used for hundreds or thousands of years in a religious aspect, then I have no problem with it. If you’re just citing that as an excuse to get stoned, then there’s a problem. I don’t like people disgracing their own culture for such a reason. I can’t remember if it’s the Apache or Navaho who used it, but they used peyote in a religious way. They have done it since LONG before white people came to the Americas. So it’s absolutely obscene to try to stop them from continuing their religious practices.

I don’t see religions getting along. The Abrahamic religions have basically been at war with each other since their creation. They call each other heretics and demand conformity to what they think you are required to believe. There is a religion that I hate everything and anything even remotely related to it, but that’s because through my entire life I have gotten nothing but abuse from those people. Now take other religions than the Abrahamic religions. Hindu, Buddhism, Jainism, Satanism, Hellenism, Paganism, tribal beliefs, and all the others that I’m missing. They actually do tend to get along for the most part. But that’s doesn’t mean they’re friends when it comes to religious practices. I honestly don’t see peace between religions. So many of them are completely intolerant of the fact that not everyone bends their knee to each other’s imaginary friends. Until we can abolish religion and just believe in something bigger than yourself, there will never be peace.

Landing on an asteroid isn’t like it’s portrayed in the movie Armageddon. You have to time it perfectly to do it. Then you also have to have a new kind of spacecraft to haul the results of the mine. Now the vast majority of elements in an asteroid is iron, which is not particularly in high demand. Finding an asteroid to mine is pure dumb luck. The NASA budget for finding asteroids and anything of that nature that could be a threat is practically nonexistent. Armageddon at least got that right. So if they don’t have the means to find any asteroids to mine, how are we to mine it? And who are you going to send to live on it and actually do the mining? Astronauts? Coal miners? And who is going to be able to afford to pay them? The American government is already 13 trillion in debt, so we can’t afford it. Just to emphasize that it’s 13,000,000,000,000. Twelve zeros. And how many people would be willing to leave their homes and families behind to work in space? Potentially for years. There's no practical way to do this.

Sassafras. Dig up the roots in winter when the sap is all down there in them. You can make some of the best tea you’ll ever have. All you have do is throw a little bit of the root in a pot of water and set it to boil. Take your ladle to give yourself a cup, and enjoy.

I could have meals every day without having to be in the kitchen myself. That’s my problem. I live to eat, but I HATE cooking. Just ask @Rain Dew about my appetite. She’ll tell you that I’m a bottomless pit.

This kind of thing is playing with fire but not having a fire extinguisher. People who start reporting anyone they didn’t like or who did something they themselves wanted. There is no way this could possibly work, without in turn causing more problems than before.

I would jump at the chance to have a robot to cook for me.

The N64 controller was certainly unique. But despite its shortcomings, it is what gave gamers the first taste of full 360° view and control in gaming. Personally, I always held the middle prong in my left hand, with my finger on the trigger button. I held the right prong with my right hand so I could use the buttons. It showed us what gaming could achieve. The previous system was 16 bit graphics. The N64 was, as the name implies, a 64 bit system. The standard design of controllers is pretty much set. Nintendo likes to experiment with its systems and, unless someone was specifically wanting to take first place in the uniqueness category, Nintendo has that one all to themselves. I honestly liked it. No, I didn’t like it. I LOVED IT.

The only kind of sustainable fuel we could have for this kind of thing would be if we can harness the power of ambient solar radiation, then convert it into energy. Now we’ll discuss the destination and travel specifics. We’re going to go with a moon, because it’s literally 100% impossible to go anywhere in the gas giants. So that said, not counting Mars, the nearest mooned planet is Jupiter. It took 546 days for Voyager 1 to reach Jupiter. But it needs noted that Voyager was moving at a speed of 38,210 mph. Which is more G’s than any human body could survive. At the fastest speed survivable it would take 5-6 years to get there. Even longer if the planets are at their furthest point. Then it starts at roughly eight years. So unless cryogenic freezing is fully harnessed, I doubt there is anyone willing to spend years on the same ship the entire time. And just to offer a bit of context, we have half of cryogenic freezing figured out. Just not all of it.

No Inter planetary travel is nothing more than fantasy. It will be a decades before we could even begin to think about such a thing. Possibly even 100 years. The technology and resources required is astronomical. We simply don’t have the requirements to do it yet. And I doubt we will live to see such a thing.

Game prices should stay in one place. If someone wants exclusive content, they have the right to pay for it. If someone else doesn’t want it, it’s not right to make them pay for something they’re not interested in. It’s flat out corporate abuse. If that’s where the world is going to, then I’m done. I will not be gaming again on ANYTHING modern.

The government interfering in gaming would be a disaster waiting to happen. They would start banning everything that made them feel icky. The American government would remove everything game they would refer to as “woke” which is fucking bullshit. The only games left on the American market would be be games to force xtianity down everyone’s throats. We have the rating system for a reason. Government intrusion would destroy the gaming industry. If the gaming industry loses the American market, that’s it. The entire market would crumble completely, and everything since 1983 would have been wasted effort.

I’m not an Xbox gamer. I’ve just never been a fan of the system. Despite that, it seems to me that Xbox is on its way out. Everywhere I look, people are talking about either the PlayStation or Nintendo. I never hear anyone talking about Xbox. At Walmart, the Xbox section is tiny. Virtually nonexistent. PlayStation and Nintendo have huge sections by comparison. It also seems (correct me if I’m wrong) that there is little to no support from Microsoft for the Xbox. I don’t want to see it disappear. As a gamer I want to see more platforms in the market, not less.
