[quote]I'm using my Series 2, since thats all i know..IMHO, games like this were meant to be played via controllers[/quote]
People told me the same thing when I picked up Dark Souls. Felt horrible. Went back to kb/m and was much more comfortable.
Now, I’m not saying you’re wrong. All things equ...
re: Snakes - Why did it have to be snakes?
Posted by Joshjrn on 5/20/24 at 10:16 am
I consistently have a few ribbon snakes in my back yard. I’m genuinely surprised they haven’t found their way inside the house yet.
I think my wife would become vastly less receptive to my saying that they are good to have around the day that happens :lol:...
re: O/U on Number of "It's Hot" Threads this Summer?
Posted by Joshjrn on 5/20/24 at 10:11 am
I don’t like the heat, but I don’t mind it as long as we keep getting reasonably consistent rain. Having to consistently water my lawn in “the vegetation will swallow buildings whole” south Louisiana to keep the grass from dying was fricking absurd. ...

[quote]Broadband in 2005 was somewhere between 25%-30%. Total internet usage in the US in 2005 was 68%. Contrast to today, where broadband use is at 92% and total internet use is at 98%. Also, the first true smart phones (with customizable apps, etc.) came out in 2007 (first iPhone) - which on...

[quote]Technology is vastly different[/quote]
Is it, though? AOL rolled out unlimited Internet to the masses in I think 1997. The BlackBerry was released in 1999. MySpace and Facebook rolled out in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Hell, most American households are still accessing the internet with the...
re: I made pho and here is how it went…
Posted by Joshjrn on 5/19/24 at 3:00 pm
Everything I’ve ever heard about making pho at home is that it is not, at all, worth the effort. The restaurants get you 98% there with 2% of the effort :lol:...

[quote]Hard disagree. 2005 and today are very much not alike.[/quote]
I’m sure there’s some political culture war rebuttal, but from a general culture perspective: clothing, food, music, interior design, etc, are all much more similar in 2024 to 2005 than 2005 was to 1986. ...
re: What the homeless drug addict do with their food stamps
Posted by Joshjrn on 5/19/24 at 1:17 pm
So I have six seconds of a voice, without evidence, claiming they bought bottles of water with food stamps intending to pour them out and get money for recycling. I have two seconds of a woman sitting in a vehicle saying they dumped them out because they “were old, super old”.
Considering it woul...

re: Joe Rogan’s latest guest - Terrance Howard - it’s a doozy
Posted by Joshjrn on 5/19/24 at 7:53 am
[quote]I'm far from defending Howard here but it seems as though his point with the 1×1 thing is due to the system and taught/trained behavior. In essence saying math is man made and open to frickery as all things man made are. His point of multiply, it's meaning and how 1×1=1 does make sense in a wa...

[quote]It’s like the word “trauma.”
Both have legitimate use cases.
Both have been coopted by neurotic nutcases in their endless pursuit of sympathy and attention.[/quote]
I think "violence" was the first word I remember seeing coopted (e.g. offensive words are violence) that made me go "uh o...

[quote]I despise it .. but I’m trying to understand it. To me, it’s a made up BS therapy world word.
I believe it’s a term women use bc most can’t stand to be wrong and don’t won’t men correcting and or debating them when they know the male count part has a valid point.
That’s my experience an...
re: Make your case for the best Mexican restaurant in the BR area
Posted by Joshjrn on 5/18/24 at 10:37 am
[quote]Doesn’t really matter. I like traditional Mexican while the wife prefers Tex-Mex. We’re open to either option as long as the restaurant is good [/quote]

I would say probably the Satanic Temple, and because they generally go like for like, so I would say they go for posting ...
