The Blackangel

Has anyone else wondered how this started? The only thing I can think of is that some woman named Karen was bitching out some employee wherever the hell she was, and when asked for her name she told them it was Karen. From there it begins as an inside joke. Then it’s picked up by other people and snowballs from there. I wonder about weird shit like this. Maybe it’s because I’m weird.

When I’m playing RDR2 and come across a dog in the game, my yorkie tends to get in a fight with it. It’s actually kinda cute.

Evan Williams, white label. It’s just as strong as Turkey, but has a richer flavor and goes down smoother.

I can deal with snow as long as I have 2 pair of sunglasses. I’m so damn photosensitive that I often have to wear sunglasses inside. But to get back on topic, I will always prefer the rain.

If we have a future where we still exist, then the movie Surrogate is where we’re going.

I can definitely see a lot of these games and their copycats in my mind’s eye without effort. There’s a few that I’m not particularly educated about, but that’s mostly just because they’re areas of gaming that I absolutely hate or just no interest in.

First off, you can’t ignore the fact that Nintendo pretty much saved gaming in 1983. Here (western market)the NES didn’t even appear on the market until 1985. If I remember correctly, it released in 1984 in the east under the name of Famicom. It revolutionized gaming by jumping from the 2 bit graphics of systems such as the Atari 2600, all the way up to 8 bit graphics. The angles, and interactive background was beyond anything gamers of the era could have imagined. It also gave rise to Galoob who created the Game Genie. The Game Genie was a lifesaver for some. It was required for me to actually beat Mike Tyson, after years of trying and failing. It gave an inkling to where gaming could potentially go if companies used up-to-date hardware, and kept a highly skilled arts department. In short, if it wasn’t for the NES, it we wouldn’t be talking, as we never would have met and several friendships would never exist for the same reason.

There are two demographics in this country that are both in extreme danger. That is Hispanics and transgender women. The level of hate and intolerance towards both is almost at a “kill on sight” point. Adolf absolutely HATES both. But first and second place seems to be shifting. It was initially transgender women who were first in line too receive the abuse, with Hispanic people in a close second. Now it seems to have flipped. Anyone with dark skin is in danger. I know some white women who had kept a tan all their life who are refusing to tan anymore. There are multilingual in this country who refuse to speak Spanish anymore. I have quit learning Spanish for this very reason. We allowed a psychopath to seize power in 2016. When he lost in 2020 he ordered a treasonous domestic terrorist attack. Now we allowed another reign under him. He’s been convicted of 34 felonies, and his sentence was probation. Had that been me (or any random citizen) they would have built the gallows in my front yard. Just take this video for example of what they’re doing.

I fully believe that people should be encouraged to explore religions. Find what you truly believe independently from religion. Then explore religions. If you find one that lines up with what you actually believe, then explore that religion further. If religion matters to you that is. The problem with religion is titles and forced belief. Also, has anyone ever noticed that everyone believes the same thing as their parents, and coincidentally enough, it just happens to be the CORRECT religion?

I hate having my picture for two reasons. 1) I find it invasive. 2) I ALWAYS look like shit in pictures. I’m absolutely not photogenic. I’m photosensitive as hell, but that’s another topic for another time.

I would say either Skyrim, or RDR2. They still have a heavily dedicated fan base. TLOU2 seems to be in the running as well, but since I’m unable to play it, I really can’t comment.

All things considered, it’s pretty difficult to repair them. The electrical components, like capacitors and resistors, have changed so much that it’s hard to find parts for a damn near 50 year old system.

After releasing the Switch, it’s crucial that Nintendo keep up on it. They’ve introduced a hybrid system, and with the gaming demands of the times, they can’t slow down. Which is why I think they’ve shot themselves in the foot.

In this solar system, if you don’t count Mars, our options are limited to moons. There are several of both Jupiter and Saturn’s moons that astronomers think may be able to harbor and sustain life. But considering their distance from the sun, there would have to be extreme colonization measures taken prior to trying. Decades, possibly centuries of research and development in equipment is what it would take before we could even think of putting anything in motion.

The hurdles to it aren’t what we should be worried about. It’s what the robot does after it starts learning. In today’s world, The Terminator and The Matrix aren’t just movies. They’re a very real possibility for becoming real life.

LEAVE CLASSIC MOVIES ALONE. I’m still pissed off that they had the audacity to disgrace Nosferatu, and Beetlejuice. It’s enraging.

In the 80’s and early 90’s, country music was genuine. It was in line with what the lives of its fans were like. I grew up on a farm and the music talked about things I knew. Now, however, it’s nothing more than another pop genre.

I’ll give up the movies. It’s no big thing for me to give up my movies, but I gotta have my music.

Hiking. No question. I’m not a beach chick. I have no interest in being out in my bikini with a bunch of pervy guys staring at my chest.

Taking pictures. I used to be into photography when I was younger, but I absolutely hate having my picture taken.

There’s two things that I’ve been terrified of my entire life. Getting diabetes and/or Alzheimer’s. Both seem to run in my family. I don’t want to get to a point where I don’t recognize the people I know best. I don’t want to have to count calorie intake or amounts of this and that in my food.

Too many. I’ve sent texts to my best friend that were meant for @Rain Dew more times than I can count. I’ve had other SNAFU’s often but that’s the most common one for me.

I’ve always been an Amazon, so it wasn’t really an issue for me. I’ve been over 6’ tall since I was a teenager. But now, due to the chair, I’m closer to 4’ tall. The only real issue I had with the controller wasn’t the overall design. It was the D-pad. They included it, and it was only a part of a very tiny amount of games. The vast majority of games didn’t use it in any way. To be honest, the only game I ever came across that actually used it was South Park. I never saw another game that used it.

@Rain Dew has the external disc drive for her PS5 Pro. I don’t know if it’s PS1 compatible, but I highly doubt it. I looked at the online store (can’t remember the name at the moment) and if I’m reading it correctly, you can download it on there. My question is can you still exploit the same glitches. Also, I just wonder if the 99 Luck code still works.

Definitely. I’ve always been a major fantasy nut. Which is why Zelda has been my favorite since its inception. The one game out of that genre should be obvious to everyone. It’s easily RDR2. I’ve never been into westerns after playing Custer’s Revenge when I was little. But since marrying @Rain Dew and joining this forum, my horizons have severely expanded. There’s shell of a lot of games that I absolutely love, but if not for VGR, I never would have known that they even existed.
