Re: Random Thoughts Thread
Yeah, I have own the house for about 5 years and I think the roof was replaced about 5 years before that. So, 10 years out of a roof is near the time to replace it. I feel like 10 years is pretty short. We had to put a new roof on our previous house, but it was twenty years old. The roof on our cur...

Re: Streaming music
I also buy CDs. I hardly ever stream. My job is generally pretty mentally taxing, so I can't really listen to music at work too often. I mostly only listen to music in my garage on a cheap wall-mounted CD player while working out late at night. If I'm working out at more reasonable hours, I'll liste...

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
Like doing a Christian film that framed the ideas of people being inherently good and that men and women are equal as "lies", not to mention a film where the idea of Christians being "oppressed" while non-Christians are petty and cruel is depicted as a fact. I'm not a big fan of...

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?
I think Lucy Lawless would have found a career even without Xena. She has a modicum of charisma and talent. Xena eclipsed Hercules spectacularly, and there's few doubts about why. I'm not sure she would have. I've liked her in everything she's been in, and in my opinion she had one of the best cele...

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
And made worse by the fact that the minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation. We haven't had an increase at the federal level since 2009, when it was raised to $7.25, which adjusted for inflation is the equivalent to $10.55. So that means that $7.25/hr today is worth LESS than it was in 2009. A...

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
"A bit" doesn't begin to describe. Between this and what stuff like cars cost these days, I have no idea how anyone affords anything. I'm arguably cherry-picking, but if you compare the 1984 Toyota Camry base MSRP to the 2024 Toyota Corolla base MSRP and adjust for inflation using the BLS...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I own this one. Do you want me to post pics and write up a description comparing to other handheld consoles? It isn't one of the newer ones, however. I think the one anapan linked is the newest. I'd be interested in a fully write-up, but the thing I really am most curious about is the how happy you...

Re: Genre of the Month (APR 2024 TR) - Pleasant Puzzles
This topic didn't get a lot of traction since the forum was down. This is probably the most appropriate thread to discuss graphic and text adventures. They are possibly my favorite game genre, and they are generally just a big collection of puzzles tied together. I remember playing King's Quest II a...

How are the d-pads, thumb-sticks, and buttons on the newer handhelds?
