- Comment on The fact that some humans can shove an entire large pizza inside themselves is both amazing and terrifying 1 week ago:
I worked at a pizza buffet back in high school. There was a guy who would come in from time to time and eat 6 whole pizzas. He would wait for us to put a fresh pepperoni out then just dump the entire thing on his plate.

For those of us that pooped before smart phones, there was a book series called Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader. I could totally see them have a section dedicated to this.

Same here. I just really hated Wano. I might go back now that the arc is over.

Blue Powerade slushy from Sonic on a hot summer day is the GOAT
- Comment on If I wanted to, hypothetically, guarentee that I shit my pants 2 to 6 hours from now, how should I do it? 6 months ago:
I lost 7.5 lbs in one night due to that stuff. I went to the doctor because I kept having diarrhea. Turns out I was so constipated the only thing that could make its way out was liquid. I drank a bottle of that stuff and 45 minutes later…well…you know that one scene from Dumb and Dumber? Yeah, that was me for like an hour and half straight.
- Comment on Men over 30, have you ever been in a legit confrontation with a stranger? 7 months ago:
I coach youth soccer, so yeah, I’ve had a couple of confrontations. Usually I can stop them pretty quickly. It helps that I’m a 6’1" 220 lb male. The worst (or stupidest) one I had was a parent trying to sit on the kids side because there was no shade on the parents side. I told him he needed to move and he refused. I explained to him that only coaches and players are allowed on this side for player safety. He told me he was a coach, so I asked to see his coach’s card. Which of course he didn’t have. I told him he needed to move or the game would be forfeit and I would call the police because he did not have the proper background checks to be near the players. He moved, but moved behind the goal. So he technically wasn’t on the players side. You know like something a 10 year old would do, not a grown ass person.
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 7 months ago:
Not frustrating until the last level of Portal 1. I still feel bad about never finishing it. But that last level was brutal. Maybe it’s time to dust off my 360 and give it another go.
- Comment on Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch? 7 months ago:
I agree that forcing you to create an account for a single player game is stupid and annoying. And they only do that on the PC version. However, I can never recommend RDR2 enough.
I bought it because I had just finished GTA V and wanted more. Some told me RDR2 was like GTA with horses. But it is so much more than that.
It is now my favorite game of all time. I’ve done 2 complete playthroughs on PS4 and recently started another on PC. Once I finish the PC playthrough I plan to start messing around with some mods.

Satriani is the GOAT, and I would have loved to hear that. Maybe someone could do a fan edit.

Thanks for that, I sincerely appreciate it. It can get frustrating at times, but I try to think of it as more of a challenge.
- Comment on Public domain and self-sealing 10 months ago:
Pretty much. It started out with yamok sauce (whatever that is), then to stem bolts, a few other things until they traded up for some land. Nog was mad about the land and kept calling it dirt, until it turns out the Bajor government wanted to buy it.
- Comment on Looking for advice on a kid/tamper proof retro gaming experience 10 months ago:
I wasn’t aware you could do that. I obviously, didn’t give him root access, but I also didn’t lock it down enough to prevent him from still breaking it. This sounds like a good quick solution.

The Evercade look really cool, and his birthday is coming up, so it is tempting. Does it allow you to add custom roms or create your own carts?
- Comment on Looking for advice on a kid/tamper proof retro gaming experience 10 months ago:
I’m all for letting him tinker. With Retro Arc I was able to export the configuration and import it back in when had messed it up. However, it has other issues many around the controller, that would cause issues on reimport. He would get too frustrated with it. I’ll definitely check out Open Emu and see if that has a better experience. Thanks!

- Comment on Every time I'm trying to decide what new show I should check out 10 months ago:
I’m the opposite right now. Grew up on TNG, just finished SNW and Lower Decks and now I’m watching DS9 for the first time.
- Comment on Have you tried LocalGPT PrivateGPT or other similar alternatives to ChatGPT? 10 months ago:
I’ve played around with a few of them. I’ve found LM Studio the most robust and user friendly.
- Comment on Public domain and self-sealing 10 months ago:
I’m watching DS9 for the first time, just watched this one last night. I thought for sure they would end up getting taken. I love how it turned out.
- Comment on Does the rest of the English speaking world generally understand what an American means when they say "soccer", or does it help to clarify by adding "football"? 11 months ago:
I’m an American who lived in England for a couple of years. Due to American media the majority of everyone understood what I meant when I said things like soccer, trunk or hood of a car, fries, etc. Words with different meanings between the two could get confusing like biscuit, chips, or pissed.
Since soccer doesn’t have another meaning I never ran into someone who didn’t know what I was talking about. However, when saying football in an American accent some thought I was referring to American Football by default.
I can only remember one instant where someone did not know what I was talking about. That was when I asked someone at work where the dumpster was and I got a blank stare. I explained, the big metal thing outside for trash and they were like, “oh the skip”

I did buy a house in 2008. January of 2008. Two months before the market crashed. It took me years not to be upside down.
- Comment on Recommend a game for me to play with my partner 11 months ago:
My wife is not very spatial, but enjoyed playing coop Portal 2, for a little bit. Once we got to the stage where I was just telling her where to go or stand the entire time we stopped playing together.

That makes the Sulu reference now make sense now. I was wondering what that was about.

I feel you. The first link I found was to Reddit and wasn’t going to post that either. Glad I found it somewhere else.

- Comment on What moment from a video game made you cry? 11 months ago:
When I was in the final mission of chapter 6, on my first playthrough, my wife came in to tell me it was time to put the kids to bed. She took one look at my face and the tears rolling down it and put the kids to bed without me.

- Comment on How have you related pseudonymous online work/activity when applying for jobs? 1 year ago:
That’s why I have multiple accounts on platforms. One for professional stuff and one for personal.
- Comment on I'll never not want to 1 year ago:
I’m so sorry to hear that.
But on a lighter note, I glad to see I’m not the only person with dogs that lay next to their beds instead of on them.
