WebDom and Mr WebDom are both Level 40 players in Pokémon Go. (The top level.) They have been known to go out and ramble specifically to play the game.
1) Do you play?
2) Why? (Or why not?)
3) If you play, what Level are you?
Also, I’d be interested in hearing how many of you play video games either on a gaming system or your computer.
Back in the day, OMWC had to play his video games on a cave wall. It took quite a long time for the screen to refresh.
Wast ist Pokémon?
My first first!
Thank you, thank you.
I was drunk for my first.
Were you still able to achieve a “happy ending”?
Pokemon go to the polls!
I like snakebite and ski free and tetris and Wordscape. I don’t know what Pokémon is.
1st place on Wordscapes for the last 4 weeks.
I’m kind of a big deal and I have the crown to prove it.
No on the Go. Never got into console gaming, and I strenuously resist using my phone for anything but a phone.
PC gaming, yes. Mostly first person shooters, I have an embarrassing number of hours on Borderlands 2. Now Borderlands 3 is available on Steam, didn’t like it as much as 2 initially, but it’s growing on me. And Sid Meier’s Railroads, which appeals to my sense of optimization.
#metoo The overwhelming majority of my Steam library shows around an hour or so per game. Some games have been played for 20 – 30 hours. Borderlands 2 however, is approaching 2000 hours. The third installment was on sale so I nabbed it a few days ago. and I concur, it’s growing on me.
Don’t play. I have done geocaching before though. I don’t do video games. I have PS2 but didn’t play much and isn’t even hooked up.
1) No
2) Not a gamer
3) See 2
I’ve tried to get into games over the last 40 years, but with the exception of some stand-up arcade games, it’s just not my thing.
2) (Or why not?) I don’t smell chordite, octane, or lipstick on the subject

I played Super Mario and Link on Nintendo but that was about it.
Same. Did computer games when I was younger, later PlayStation/Dreamcast and then back to Wii but all just fizzle out after a couple games.
I like to poke Mongo.
Mongo pawn in game of life.
Thanks, sheriff Bart.
Awww….Mongo straight!
No.

I play the original Go, not Pokemon Go.
Of course, I haven’t been able to get beyond 5 kyu. 🙁
Hey Ted, watched The Vanishing over the weekend. You were right. Original better than the remake.
I bought my son Pokemon cards when he was a little kid. That kid is 25 now living his life and won’t return a phone call. I blame Pokemon. Or it could be he is my son and comes by ignoring his father naturally.
Mine’s 26 and spent 90 minutes on a call with me today; it’s the best thing that happens to me most weeks.
But he’s very mature. From 15 to 20 he could be pretty distant; for that matter, we were both learning a lot about ourselves in those years. I think he enjoys status with me now that he’s got some hides on his own wall; I like that part as well.
Like you, I wanted to be left alone at that age (for that matter from 11 – 30); from sprouting nuts until I was changing diapers, I didn’t want advice or opinions or money, so I enjoyed distance and my own counsel. I suspect that men come around at different ages.
That is my hope. I didn’t talk to my Dad for months at a time between the ages of 19- 24. My clan is an immature clan though. Some claim I never grew up. My old man figured out a cure though. When I built my shop on the couple acres I purchased he bought the lot next to me and built a house so I couldn’t avoid him.
My sister described those years”
“For about 6 years I thought I had completely failed as a parent. But it comes back around eventually…”
Harry Chapin hated Pokemon, too.
*does the woosh over my head gesture*
That kid is 25 now living his life and won’t return a phone call. I blame Pokemon.

1) Do you play?
No
2) Why? (Or why not?)
I don’t even know what it is.
“What?” was going to be my last point, but I ran out of time. 😉
No, even though I have Pokémon blue and yellow cartridges somewhere in my gaming cabinet.
I played it a little bit right when it came out, but lost interest shortly thereafter. Maybe if I knew people who played, it’d be different.
I used to game more than I do now. PC mainly, but I have a PS3 and a GameCube, too. I’ve been trying to teach my daughter how to play Mario kart, but she’s not quite to the point of being self sufficient yet.
I tried to do it on my flip-phone and couldn’t get it to work, and I don’t have grandson to call to ask how to make it work.
I play on PC, because after building an editing computer that could play all the games I didn’t see a point in dropping money on a console. My current build has gone through 2 console generations and is just now having problems with new games. Looking into a new PC build right now as soon as I get this unemployment and
Cash for ClunkersObama MoneyzTrump Bux money thing squared away.The last time I played a silly game I ended up married, took 12 years to finish the game but in the end I was the winner.
I do play Minions on my phone too. It’s a mindless distraction.
I’ve never played, not really a gamer. Most video games leave me bored and/or frustrated too quickly to get any good at them.
The only exception is Civilization. About once a year I crack out on that damn game and lose a full day.
I sometimes play a lot of civ, then I get pissed I have to keep making all the decisions. Learn to be self-sufficient you bastard civilization! Free Markets!
Nights in grad school, playing Civ, one more turn, one more turn, look up…. the sun is coming up.
Nope. After my time.
I will play solo RPGs and some of the more masochistic games like Sekiro or Dark Souls. Something I can pick up and drop quickly. I don’t have the time for soul sucking games like Civilization anymore.
I tried the MMO thing when it first started back in the 90’s with Ultima Online. I learned to hate gangs of Koreans from that experience. Never did it again.
I put many (many) years into WoW. ?
Then one day, I just dropped it. I decided I was done with it and haven’t been back.
God what a Timesink, glad I left, Gave away all my gold and stuff, kind of fun to be free..
I play Disc Golf, air, exercise, you know, life…..
/and BEER!
Pokemon Go?
No.

Ready Steady Go
First comment:
In my car, and every car since this came out, I have 1 CD labeled “POLICE CHASE” with only this song as a track and it’s there just in case I’m in a pursuit of any kind. So if I’m ever your Uber driver and I suddenly put this in, shit’s about to get sideways.
I was expecting something more in keeping with the Pokemon/Japanese thing.
Walked with kids when they played it a bit. Usually ended up on brewery patio while they walked around.
Play world of tanks a bit when I get bored. Pew pew.
I was a Beta tester! Really fun for a long time, now, not so much…
Pokemon Go? No. Never played. I have no interest.
For computer games, I used to play RPGs, adventure games, and some strategy games. I haven’t played any in a while.
The last time I played was when I downloaded and player the opensource version of “Axis and Allies”.
Somewhere on my computer I have the “Quest for Glory” series downloaded from Good Old Games for a bit of nostalgia. I first went through them when I was in high school and college. This time around, I finished the first two, started the third, then put them aside.
I’m the only one who bought the line about Pokemon Go being a CIA fronted surveillance tool, so never let the kids download it or played it myself? Guess I’m more paranoid than I thought.
Yes
1 – No.
2 – I assume it’s targeted at folks who grew up with that franchise. I did not.
3 – n/a
I play games on both console and computer. Mostly old-school platform type stuff, adventures, puzzles. Not “hard-core”. No interest in the big pew-pew and RPG games that seem to rule the world.
Fuck Sununu
Gov. Chris Sununu said he’ll present a comprehensive plan Friday to open parts of New Hampshire’s economy while extending New Hampshire’s stay-at-home order past its May 4 expiration date.
“We are planning to flex open around certain sections of the state where we can open in a smart, phased-in approach that is always putting public health first,” Sununu said during a news conference Wednesday at the New Hampshire Fire Academy here.
We’ll see how this affects the Reopen NH rally on Saturday.
If you are “always putting public health first”, that means you will never reopen anything.
Chris is the Jeb of the Sununu clan.
This explains much.
For other video games, yes. I have fond memories of my father dragging me to the arcade next to the PX when I was six so he could play Space Invaders. I started with Donkey Kong, B.C. Quest, Pacman, that sort, then moved on to Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox. When I had the time (as in didn’t have kids) the husband and I did a lot of co-op play with the hubby in stuff like BioShock, Fallout and Portal. Now we rarely have the energy or time.
A friend of mine is putting together a small, retro arcade in the back of his restaurant. Maybe someday he can return to normal business so folks can enjoy the arcade.
Walmart sells those small cabinets. If I had more money and space I’d probably have a few of those.
I have 80’s era Centipede and Ms. Pac Man in my basement. The youngsters still love them.
*jelly*
That game is really good at raising my ire.
trackball!
Yeah, what are greatest trackball games of all time? Does Tempest get included though not technically a trackball?
Tempest had a knob.
Not the same.
Heh.
/”You know who else…?”
Probably Reactor and Missile Command. Although, I’m sure there’s love for Golden Tee. Just not from me.
From the last thread, regarding tense households. Go buy a small, thoughtful trinket from Amazon for your SO. See how much goodwill a small gesture brings. In lieu of purchasing something, do something unusually different to be nice to them. Small gestures of thoughtfulness go a long way.
You know what I’ve found helps smooth things over better than anything else? Sex.
Falls under the “something unusually different to be nice to them.”
Be creatve.
Yes
This may work better for the female of the species than the male. Just sayin’.

No to all of the Pokémon games. It never appealed to me.
Otherwise I have been a avid gamer since I was a wee lad during the 1st console generation. I’m still a fan of coin opp and pinball.
I play console games almost daily to unwind at night. Computer based gaming stopped for me in the Quake era. Consoles are more fun on the big TV.
My TV is another computer monitor, so I can play it there if I choose from my PC.
1) No
2) Not a gamer
3) See 2
Both my grade school kids each have their own Nindtendo Switch and play incessantly but it doesn’t intrigue me a lot.
I specifically avoid shooting games because I can imagine getting accustomed to some kinds of reactions which would end poorly should I react that way in a real world situation while armed with real hardware back in the US.
Schizophrenics make the best Pokemon Go players.
Happy warriors.

Didn’t know it was still around.
When it first came out I tried it out – like I’ll do with just about anything. Being a Masshole there were Poke thingies everywhere and it was amusing for awhile. We moved to this little Montana cow town and the Poke population was limited – maybe four in the whole town with the next town 30 miles away. Didn’t install on the new phone.
You’ve temptedd me to reinsall and see if this little place has become more infected.
Have been a gamer of some sort since Space Invaders. But last console game I played with any seriousness was the 3DO system, last century. Before that was Intellivision and then Sega.
Been playing PC games since Wolfenstein and Doom on my 486SX25, mostly Shooters and RTS.
Got 1000’s of hours in Borderlands, Halflife, and Command and Conquer properties.
On Fridays, I play ‘7Days to Die’ in co-op with my nephew, cousin, and step-dad. Sometimes til 3 in the AM.
Wife calls it ‘date-night’.
And no Pokeyermom. Except maybe on pornhub.
1 & 3: No, NA. I’m aware of it, but just not my bag.
2: Oh, lord, do I ever play PC games. Since I was 10, on a 286 with a CGA monitor. I own 569 games on Steam as of right now, and probably something like another 50 not on Steam. Mainly RPGs, strategy games, and action/adventure games like the Assassin’s Creed series. Used to play a lot of shooters, MP and otherwise, but not so much any more. I used to love Elite: Dangerous but I don’t have the time for it anymore.
Yes, I’m a goer.
Wink wink, nudge nudge
As to playing games, I have an X Box 1 that I used to enjoy playing on but haven’t touched it in over a year. I have only played the shoot people games. The last time I was overseas and living in a camp we all played some shoot people war game I don’t remember. We connected over the wifi and it was a hoot. Picture a camp in the bush with no roads in the middle of nowhere with a hundred tents with a bunch of oil exploration type of derelicts, half of which were playing, ranging from helicopter pilots to filthy drillers sitting in their tents staring at computer screens trying to virtually kill each other. Much yelling and cussing was thrown into becoming a storm for a few hours. It was a great team building exercise and always the discussion at breakfast. “Hey, you cunt, you shot me!”
my employees don’t want to return to work because they’re making more from unemployment
I don’t understand this part:
One employee who makes $20 hourly told me she is making $30/hour on unemployment.
There seems to be some dyabeetus on this post.
Dammit. On the bright side, I now know who clicks on links.
https://www.askamanager.org/2020/04/my-employees-dont-want-to-return-to-work-because-theyre-making-more-from-unemployment.html
The feds are giving a flat $600 per week on top of the regular state unemployment benefits.
That I get. How do you “make $30/hr” when they are just giving you money?
Is anyone else excited for shit to get real on 5/1? Rent is due.
My God.
Shelter in place becomes shelter in shelter.
It’s going to be like the Warriors where all those gangs yell at each other.

Let them eat cake. This is CNN.
The illness is death, Crusty. How can the cure be worse than the illness if the illness is potential death?
My kid didn’t have his own phone when it came out, so he used mine for it, but that summer we were living in a place that didn’t spawn much, so it got pretty boring for him to collect the rat things. We went to NY that Aug and in two days there, he got more creatures than he had in two months near our apartment. But then back home he was done, and didn’t play it again. I’ve played myself a few times just to see what it’s like and it’s still on my phone, but that’s all I’ve done with it.
I’m not much of a gamer. Early on I found it very frustrating and would get stuck or bored, so it wasn’t something I picked up. I play one one of the girlie “candy crush’ clones on my phone if I’m super bored and want to do something with my hands, but otherwise, nope.
“Fruit Ninja” with my ass parked on the toilet.
That was my jam.
Jugsy has a PS4 and the only games I have for it are DOOM, and MLB. I havent played either in a couple years. Since baseball likely wont start till July, I just may dust that one off.
If you dig up TECMO Bowl, gimme a call.
This?
Dude, you’re old.
Straff, let me tell ya (to enlighten the others), back when I worked in a game store in 90-91, TECMO Bowl was THE most highly sought-after game cartridge. Hands down, money-in-the-bank, gold mine if you had it.
Fuck, it was like having vintage Star Wars figures or vehicles new in box.
In his opinion and order Wednesday, Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher Murray said constitutional rights are “subject to reasonable regulation by the state.”

Everyone is fucked. The idiots who think this is a good idea just don’t know it yet.
“But the governor determined that severe measures were necessary, and had to be quickly implemented to prevent the uncontrolled spreading of the virus.”
Well, that certainly sounds reasonable….
Oh, here’s the money-shot:
“He acknowledged the residents’ rights as important but added “those liberty interests are, and always have been, subject to society’s interests — society being our fellow residents.””
Just who the fuck does Judge Christopher Murray think he is, anyway.
Fuck.
I’ve seriously been having violent fantasies about these assholes lately. I can’t be the only one, and eventually someone is going to act on them. Mutters something about tree and a rope.
I cant say it enough daily- “Les aristocrates à la lanterne!”
My state motto is Sic semper tyrannis and yet, we put up with this.
I have been thinking about which tool I would use if these clowns cause me to head back to the US to uphold my oath to defend the constitution. After the dynamic movement is over and we are dealing with the punishment phase it seems a nice SKS would be ironic as it was often the tool of choice during communist revolutions for guarding and rounding up counter-revolutionary prisoners. It also has a nice, long, pointy bayonet which is useful for “motivating” and “influencing behavior”.
I’m usually pretty stoic about this stuff, but holy shit. My rights are not subject to convenience. I’d expect this judge to be slapped to death on appeal, but who knows these days?
My partner’s colleague/friend was visiting us in LA. She’s a math professor who works in the Netherlands. She was totally addicted to Pokemon Go and was very excited to search for certain Pokemons that exist only in America. So, I’ve seen enough of action on her phone and she was very happy to give all the details. Like walking in Santa Monica and then she has to stay in one spot to fight a bunch of Pokemons. I almost downloaded the app, but then she left and I completely forgot about it.
Never a goer.
My brother and I got a shared Christmas gift of an Apple II/e when I was 10ish. We had a game called Wizardry(?) that was super simplistic turn-based RPG that I played the shit out of. On and off player of PC flight sims and MMORPG’s through my 20’s and 30’s, especially heavy during semesters where I was bottoming out and failing/withdrawing from all of my classes or other times when RL was sucking balls. Now I do a little console FPS’s as therapy for my CTSD (Current-Traumatic Stress Disorder) resulting from witnessing the destruction of what was once the greatest nation in human history.
I liked the Wizardry series.
I think we played a few of the later ones, too. But the original one I must have gone through at least 10 times. Then we learned a cheat code that you could do at creation and make a full party of level 99 badasses and roll down the dungeon to kick Werdna’s ass in under an hour. Good times for this Aspy/introverted kid.
I played the first one, which I enjoyed but never finished. I had a collection from Sir-Tech of the first four or five. That disappeared a long time ago.
I played the two David W. Bradley Wizardries. “Bane of the Cosmic Forge” and “Crusaders of the Dark Savant”. I liked both, but I think Bradley should have had someone looking over his shoulder for some of the script. The writing fell apart at the end of both.
All of them were good games.
Never heard of the later ones. In more recent times I did a little WoW and quite a bit of Dark Age of Camelot (mostly solo even though it is an MMORPG). My family got me on that one so we could all play together, but they kept changing servers, changing games, re-rolling characters, etc. I just wanted to get good and build my character to play with the big boys but the game evolved into being impossible to compete without guild help.
“Crusaders of the Dark Savant”
Played the fuck out of that one. Forgot about it.
Story fell apart well before the end. Just ended up leveling my characters so high that my wizard’s “Nuclear Blast” destroyed characters that you were never meant to defeat and caused the game to dead-end.
ie. To advance to the next step you have to get character X to give you the key. Well character X is smoldering puddle who never gave me a key.
Fuck you, game!

Tetris, matching games like Jewel Quest, solitaire card games, and bird flinging.
All my simple little games got really bloated. EA ruined Tetris. Jewel Quest is bloated. So is Angry Birds.
Used to play Tetris for hours at a time then you’d go outside and fruitlessly try to fit buildings together in your mind.
My dad kept a Nintendo Gameboy in the bathroom specifically so he could play Dr. Mario while he was on the toilet.
I posted this in the wrong thread: https://www.ebay.com/p/1108000870
Haha, I bet if I actually entered my father’s bathroom again, I’d find that gameboy still there. Those things were pretty indestructible.
Exactly.
Ahh Tetris.
A friend in school was a 3.5 year honor roll student with a 3.5 GPA at school.
He got a copy of Tetris that last semester and failed two courses. He wasn’t allowed to graduate until December and commissioned in the Army 6 months late.
He told me it got so bad he’d lay down in bed and dream about blocks falling from the sky and get back up and play all night.
You guys are gonna fuck it up.
Love you Mojo. You chose the correct vowel.
It’s looking good so far. Don’t be negative.
Puppies?
Pustules.
It’s SF day, after all.
No spoilers.
The tension is palpable.
plpaleble.
Almost bursting at the seams.
Heh I was gonna try to steer it in that direction.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I did my best.
You did. I blame Nick.
Nick had a Dan Quayle moment.
Ya know, I almost finished it off just to be an a-hole, but then I thought, “well, it’s a layup after me, so no need.”
Then I check back and see that?!
Disappoint, I haz. ☹️
lol. I tried to play along as well.
I used to play a lot of video games but it turned into an unhealthy habit, so I stopped. I had a problem putting down the controller before I had beat the game.
is Pokemon Go still a thing?
I’m still remembering your kids’ obsession.
Completely over it.
Same for me. My obsessive nature led to one too many sleepless nights or lost weekends to complete a game, so I had to put the PS3 away and I’ve never been back to it. My girls will occasionally mention some of the kid vid-games I played with them when they were young, which were great fun, but what spare time I can find goes to writing, fitness, and piano. Reading when I can, but it’s been a while even for that.
I, too, have this issue – I’m a obsessive/completionist at heart, so I can all too easily get sucked into something.
I had to quit playing Subnautica because I was having weird dreams about it. Same with Borderlands 2.
Battle Zone. Great arcade game.
Doom 2. The classic.
That’s it. South Park was right about Pokemon.
Stargate > Defender.
Change my mind.
And if you miss Battle Zone that much, waste some time here- https://my.ign.com/atari/battlezone
If I’m not looking into a viewfinder it’s not Real Battlezone!
Chinpokomon!
The original one was brilliant. Haven’t seen that episode yet.
It’s not from an episode, it’s from the game ‘Fractured But Whole’.
One of the bestest, funniest game series in a good long time.
Also, agree on both Battlezone, and the viewfinder being a necessary element.
My little brother was still playing Pokiman Go a few months ago, but his 2 yr old son prefers for him to play the augmented reality Jurassic Park game to feed goats to the T-Rex. That kid is awesome.
Is the kid’s name Dexter ?
No. But he is named after Indiana Jones.
My sister showed me the blanket she’s making him for his birthday, it’s a T-Rex wearing an Indiana Jones hat carrying a Shankara Stone, which can be flipped inside out to gold like when the stones are brought together.
I think you mean ‘Sharon Stone’. And, you probably don’t wanna flip her inside out.

I’ve been driving my five year old around to play and he’s level 15 now.

Nope, not a PokemonGoloid. I’ve been known to delete Solitaire from my computers because I get fed up with how addicted I become to it.
The only PC game that’s ever tempted me was Clash of Clans, and that was just because the commercials were so damn cute. I resisted the temptation, in part because I suspected that the game would be a let-down in comparison to the animation in the ads.
Perv!
Now, see? How can you not love this?? I would watch this if they showed it on TV on Saturday mornings or on Adult Swim!
No Pokemon.
I farm. Way too much.
I’ve played some Nintendo-Zelda, Mario, MarioCart. Older games, nothing current.
up, up, down, down, L, R, L, R, B, A, start
Nope across the board for me, at least since college.
Grew up with an Intellivision but only had 4 games for it.
Played Myst in college. Liked it. Finished it on one Saturday though, and then what?
Mom mailed me a Tagamuchi or whatever that digital pet thingy was that you had to feed. She sent it to me in Sweden in a joke Christmas stocking because I couldn’t come home.
No other electronic games for me.
I dead-threaded this:
Just attempted to go for a nighttime walk with the spouse, she freaked out that I wouldn’t wear my mask (steams up my glasses), despite literally – _literally_ – not another soul in sight.
Words were exchanged. This should be a fun 24 hours.

I blame myself.
I blame her! I’m on your side! Fight!

Thanks, though this was some “fancy” custom mask a local company is making – it’s too big and the top edge can’t be rolled down like that.
I will, however, try that with the other mask I have, next time I hit the grocery store.
The rolled up tissue works better for me when I use that sort mask. Gets a better seal for the gap I think.
Clever. I’m gonna have to try that.
Surveying several local households finds the female of the species is far more freaked out about this pandemic than the male.
I haven’t played poker in 8 weeks because of this.
we have also managed to fight about the stupidest things ever, though.
There were people in your area without masks around 6pm tonight. I wonder what will happen a week from now.
It’s a sad confirmation that my wife is a bit of a Karen. More than a bit, perhaps.
Again, masks in crowded stores doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me. Masks when there is literally not another human in sight is just dumb.
No love for Leisure Suit Larry?
OMG Much love for Leisure Suit Larry. I played Strip Poker on the Commodore 64 a few times before that, but Leisure Suit Larry was the first game I actually giggled over.
Looking for Love in all the wrong places was an early game I paid way too much for.
Tetris Plus on the PS1. There was a little professor who would explore different areas of the worlds like pyramids. You had to clear all the rows for the professor to escape before the bladed ceiling came down to crush him.
Tetris!
Extreme G3 was a futuristic motorcycle racing game. The bikes could break the sound barrier and the game would make a quiet whooshing noise. The speedometer would top out at 999 mph and you could drive upside down through large loops.

That’s an eclectic mix…
I played Tank Battle on the mainframe in the 70’s. Played Adventure on a TRS-80 (but never finished the game).
I’ll play solitare on my phone while waiting for the wife.

Not lying – I got a little teary reading that. Well. Said.
Great rant, TBH.
Except it – Freedom – really is that hard. That’s the part we forget or miss. If you’ve got the Freedom-thing in your veins or DNA or personality or whatever, yeah, it seems like a no-brainer. But the truth is that people who choose Freedom are almost always people who are self-sufficient and/or believe in self-sufficiency. Too many generations have been taught that the world, the govt, their neighbors owe them something. At it’s core, that is a belief that others exist to serve them. It’s a belief in slavery, but outsourced through government and dressed up in a lot of horseshit philosophy and economics (by Progs) who have been firehosing that bullshit through public schools to generations. This is the all-too-predictable outcome, unfortunately.
/rings cowbell.
I’m so irritated and it bothers me. We’re in Michigan and getting the full boot right now. My solace is that the wife and kids are turning into little libertarians.
Used to have a patch on my biker vest: “Freedom isn’t free”
It’s not a hard and fast rule but I notice that veterans (all branches, combat or not) tend to cling to freedom just a bit more. The sudden realization on that day, holding up my hand and swearing to defend the Constitution, that the whole thing was real and suddenly I wasn’t a 17 year old kid but perhaps someone with a duty and an obligation stays with me to this day.
Let me fix that-
“Too many generations have been taught that the world, the govt, their neighbors will take care of them o̵w̵e̵ ̵t̵h̵e̵m̵ ̵s̵o̵m̵e̵t̵h̵i̵n̵g̵.”
It comes back to trading liberty for safety.
I’m pissed. But, I’ve been pissed for a long time at the abuses of government. The checks and balances that were supposed to protect us from over reaching government failed long ago and this situation is the inevitable result.

Visited with my oldest sister today, I’ve stayed away because she is actually the kind of person that should be in isolation. Lung and heart problems and always sick. But she was receptive to me visiting and has been isolating this whole time and is getting sick of it. She’s the one who cut my hair. Anyway, found out in the several hours I was visiting her and my oldest niece have leap frogged me in my hatred of the state, and have been watching some youtube show by a Q-Anon believer. Rational people seem to have gone the way of the Dodo. It’s fucking nuts.
I havent seen Tres Sr since mid-January (as an Old Dude™ he had his obligatory migration to FLO-rida for 6 weeks). But he got back here right when everyone was freaking out. He’s 80, diabetic, and smokes 2 packs a day- but this weekend even if it requires EPA Level A double envelope suits, Im going to see him.

I saw that news in another article that quoted one of the pro-ban officials claiming that the books could harm children.
Really?
I saw Jason Bourne kill a man with a book once.
I think I read Catch-22 in High School but I don’t really remember it.
To Be FAIR: banning books has a long tradition in the U S of A
The teacher took my Playboys!
Anchorage, AK has been bluing for a very long time and is basically a mini Seattle or Portland at this point. As always, those fuckers spread like cancer and have now made their mark infesting the Mat-Su Valley (my home). Fuck if they don’t destroy everything they touch!
I’m not really getting it…how is removing a book from the curriculum banning? No mention of removing from libraries. I read lots of books that weren’t in the curriculum as a kid.
The reasons the board members used are indeed stupid, but sounds like they are just avoiding having to actually teach. Doesn’t seem politically motivated to me.
If you want to know the answer, turn to page 174. Or, if you don’t want to open the door continue reading.
Ha I remember those books! I used to play the game then read the book the whole way through.
Also, I remember through most of my life how progs always mocked Christian conservatives for being the banners of books. I guess SJ issues are just so important they had to flip on that, too.

I X-boxed for 6, 7 years. AAA games, a fair number of hours. Mostly RPGs, a few shooters. Probably my main form of entertainment. I just . . . stopped shortly after moving to Tucson.
Mrs. Dean is fascinated by iRacing. Wouldn’t be surprised if we get some kind of gaming rig for that, someday. Once we have it, who knows?
I’ve only done iRacing once. The rig was at IMS, and I sucked at it. Zero grip.
Speaking of immersive aims, I’m curious about DCS. I’ve seen some videos of guys doing VR setups to fly their jets, and it looks quite realistic.

Ozy, did you ever have to do this? I came across it last weekend and thought of you.
You are correct, sir.
I abstained from video games for about a decade. I stopped playing in 7th grade until about 6 months ago. I would only play when at friends houses during that time. I had the mindset that I should be productive with my free time. I also once spent several years not listening to music because I would be better off thinking on my head. I have been trying for years to get out of my puritan-work-ethic mindset. I bought an xbox on black Friday and have been playing through the new Wolfenstein games.
If I didn’t shut my mind off I’d be a monster. I hate everything everyone else does. I don’t want to outlaw it, but I want them punished for it…If I were made king of America and weren’t a libertarian, but went on how much I hate everyone else, it would be worse than any caliphate.
It’s a probably a good thing that I don’t have all of the Infinity Stones at this point in time. I wouldn’t be quite so random, but prolly off a lot more than 50% based on recent poll data.
My ancestors were Coppocks – I’m ready to go full John Brown on some of these people.

Elon Musk from Tesla’s earnings call:
“To say that they cannot leave their house, and they will be arrested if they do, this is fascist,” Musk said, ignoring the fact that people can leave their homes for essential business and exercise in California. “This is not democratic. This is not freedom. Give people back their goddamn freedom.”
ignoring the fact that people can leave their homes for
essential business and exercise in Californiathings the State has deemed acceptable.Nope, not fascist at all.
I recall I was never a fan of this Musk guy. I don’t remember why.
He triggers all the “grifter” signals. But when he’s right, he’s right.
Not the hero we want, but we’ll take it.
Not a fan, but he grew up in apartheid ZA, so he may understand a thing or two…..blind hog, truffle, whatever
I’m a big fan. Wouldn’t want to work fan but some things he really has figured out.
He wanted to put a rocket in space so he went to the Russians, whose price was too high. So he said, I’ll build my own rockets and make them reusable. And he did.
And I love my car.
Im not a fan cause he’s a grifter and knows how to push the lefty buttons of the FedGov and get some ca$hi$h.
I’m not taking anything away from him- he went to Wharton, has a degree in Physics, and was working towards a PhD. Dude aint stoopid.
Musk is worse than Gates or Jobs; in being the money behind ventures but getting credited for being the gains, and also was a lot quicker to soak up public funds than either of those other asshats were.
but getting credited for being the
gainsgenius.Yup, when it comes to musk, that’s what gets me. He’s a huckster. Granted, a huckster who knows how to get shit done, but huckster nonetheless. Every time I meet one of his fanbois, it’s the same story… they see him as a wizard. He does magical things magically fast to build products that work by magic.
That said, I like SpaceX, I don’t have a reflexive hate for Tesla, and I don’t dislike the guy. I just don’t like his technophile fanbois.
*sniggers* You’d never want to sit at our table, anyway! *sniggers again* (I keed)
Go, Musk, go!
Fucking fascist Orange Man Bad who is governor of California!
As much as I don’t like Musk’s grifter style he did a great job for libertarianism in SpaceX. Off course, it will be meaningless in the long term because people are morons, but still.
Too subtle?
Yes. I don’t remember the dialog well enough to remember what comes next.

I have almost that whole thing memorized. I think I might have said this here before, but my TBS SgtMaj was on the drill field with Ermey when Ermey was just back from Vietnam and still a Corporal. The SgtMajor said he was a Sergeant at the time, but he had good things to say about Ermey – who also has a bit part in the lesser know “The Boys of Company C.”

Finals week is almost over. I have a report due and an exam on Friday. Then I’ll catch up on grading over the weekend. There is no graduation ceremony but I never planned to attend anyway. I’m looking forward to the stage in life where I don’t need to do incessantly work on assignments and study for exams.
I didn’t go to my college graduation, and I don’t even know where my diploma is. It was a wasted decade. Wait, it didn’t take anyone else that long?

I’ve been a game nerd since before computer games were worth the effort. I *love* a good game. Wasted too many hours in college playing Street Fighter II in the basement arcade. Also lots of hours playing…I don’t remember the name of the game…in the computer lab. Still burn LOTS of hours on Civ 5. Mostly because I’m not sure my home setup will handle Civ 6, because it’s way outta date. Though I guess if I could pick up a rig for < $700, I could do that…and totally would, because I've played *every* iteration of that franchise, from the original to now.

All the lamp post and wood chipper jokes may actually come to fruition. Not that I would condone such a thing. HI PREET!
Are you fucking kidding me? We have been under lockdown here since March 16. The beach a few blocks away from me is open, but that is federal land so I imagine this doesn’t apply. I’ve been there everyday with the kids, it’s keeping us sane. I loathe that greaseball fuck. Closing beaches has seemed to me one of the more ridiculous of things to close.

Both myself and wife are allowed to work under the state orders. Man, what a fucking shitty sentence that is to write. Worse if we weren’t, but screw the allow. That’s tyrannical. We had one camp that refused a refund and said they would credit us. No way, I’m not talking credit for a year later. Who knows if they’ll be in business? We ended up disputing it to the credit card.

Pie’, serious question: Do you know any other Romanians who are politically inclined toward libertarianishness?
There are some out there… I mean you find them on the internet. There are/were some libertarian or libertarian-ish blogs. Personally? I know one or two who are libertarian leaning, one or two who say they are but have several slips.

Well, it’s Forensic Files time for me and XY.
Not P-Go, but I’ve played other iterations–cards, one of the GBA series, Pokemon Ranch on the Wii (not an actual “game”), Nothing as of late.
Not interested in chasing a dragon–video or otherwise.
Yep, I have quite a few consoles and games, but haven’t played an actual game in a few months. I actually use the main console to stream Twitch, so I can watch others play, and not have to deal with the frustrating parts, and watch people who tend to be more entertaining than most television.
Can’t do computer gaming–I already sit at a computer for 8+ hours a day; I don’t want to sit and try to W-A-S-D/arrow keys while sitting 2 feet from a monitor. “You know, you can connect console controllers to-” Pass.
I didn’t know Pokemon Go was still a thing. My son was crazy about it a few years ago but no longer. He only plays three games, but he plays them obsessively – Fortnite, Minecraft, and Astroneer.
I had a few consoles in my younger days – Sega Genesis, the first PlayStation, the first XBox – but mostly all I played were war games and sports games. Bill Walsh College Football ’95 on Genesis, 989 Sports hockey and Golden Tee Golf on PS1, NCAA football and Medal of Honor on XBox. My son has a PS4, but I rarely play anything on it. The only thing I play much anymore is Supremacy 1914.

Christ.
“Fuck off, this is a free country. Get off my land before I call the real cops and have you arrested for trespassing and impersonating police officers.”
What a pair of assholes.
That’s why I wonder if it is faked. Seriously idiots don’t know they have access to all names associated with and address? It is public information.
She could be a renter… Cops don’t have automatic access to all public records at the drop of a hat. They may be able to look things up, but, it isn’t a given.
Plus, if she mis-identified herself to them, then they got her good. And, it looks like that’s what they wanted.
Aaaah. I assume they can look up who is paying the gas bill at X address and know.
They might, if the utilities are gov’t owned (::shudder::), although, even then, it might require more than just a “I need it for a report” excuse. Otherwise, I’m sure they’d need a warrant to get that info.
I can think up some other things that they could use (vehicle reg, maybe), but, even they can be hit-or-miss.
if she mis-identified herself to them, then they got her good.
Buddy of mine decades ago got caught driving on a suspended license and smelling of beer with a truck bed full of empties and when asked by the trooper who stopped him gave his brothers name. Took him years and a whole lot of money to get out of that one. He did it though. Now he sells real estate.
Ooooh….yeah, that shit sucks, especially for the person whose info was used. It can be worse than identity theft (which it, sort of, is). I hope he’s making some bank these days.
If you haven’t yet, do NOT read into the twattering responses. Not because there isn’t support for her (there’s plenty), but because the copsucking is juuust enough to make everything sour.
No I didn’t. I am sure not on Eric’s feed but the original. I was joking about this a month ago, now I fear for it ever going back to what it was. New normal can bite my ass. Old normal sucked, but this really sucks.
Yeah, “old” normal offers/offered a level cof comfort that people want. This “new” normal can do that, too, given enough time.
But, the shitty parts of the old have made the new more possible, since so many people were giving up liberty for government security.
Like Mo has said, the water is getting hotter in incremental steps.

I’ll say this–at lest many of the students want him back. In fact, when has there been any statement coming from college people that is remotely that positive regarding sexual behavior? Here recently, seems the only thing said about peoples’ sexy time habits, in and around colleges, has been screeching.

Last time I saw a bunch of Pokemon Go players, it was in a local park…and they were…shall we say…non-threatening on a bad day.
So, I’m thinking of driving to New Hampshire just to get out of this place.
Damn…that’s desperation.
I have not left this house to go further than to take out my trash can for the past two weeks.
Like ya do. Not that it sounds particularly bad…
NH is the closest place that has not gone completely stupid.
Just a two hours drive. Each way.
Might just go saturday.
Not bad. Hell, if there were a place 2 hours from here worth going, I’d go. Sadly, the only possible answer there is LA, and not even good parts of LA.
I’m going to try again to get some sleep.

Pork Chop.
It came out perfectly cooked and was delicious.
Oooh; an excellent choice!
I’m running low on meat products in my house. I’m down to two more packs of pork chops, a duck breast that’s been frozen for a while, and something marked as “Beef bacon”. I’m out of regular beef, chicken, and fish.

B: Stealing from the neighbors is bad.
iii: I prefer food that is actually cooked.
Poached eggs are like dining on an eyeball and that is a sweet call-back, UCS!
I remember the craze from a couple of years ago because I almost ran people over while they played. No, I don’t play because if I started playing video games again it would become an all-consuming obsession and Glibs is enough for me right now. Defender nearly ended me circa 1981. I have a low tolerance for addictive experiences.
Enough is enough. Beer and Ciggies and Glibs, Oh My!
Thats me Festus….low tolerance for addictive experiences. Always struggled on how to word that…thank you.
It never sounded right to say I have an addictive personality

GT, I saw your replies late to yesterday’s g’mornin’ song and yes, it was raining which gave me inspiration. We’ve had the yin of sunshiney, mild days in these parts for the best part of a couple of weeks, and now we’re into the yang of constant showers, never letting up for long enough to do anything useful outdoors (on the property, of course!). I enjoyed your LBM selection, too.
I’m going in a completely different direction today.

You poor bastard.
I’m trying to calm down and Not write a response that starts with “Look, you stupid bastards…”
To be fair, they’re not stupid, just stuck doing work outside their comfort zone, so they keep coming back to me with questions they shouldn’t have to ask.
Mind you, I don’t know the answer, but can at least figure out where to dig it up.
Oh great, it’s something we tested and fixed back in october getting broken again.
I should not be looking to drink this early in the workday.
Just identify as being in Pie’s or JD’s time zone.
A few jobs ago, I kept a world time zone map handy for the cubicle neighbor who constantly asked, “Is it five o’clock yet?” I’d tell her where in the world it was 5:00, especially if it was in one of the cold climates she preferred. (Siberia was a fave. Big Doctor Zhivago fan, IIRC.)
I have to keep my official communications professional.
My emails are subject to FOIL requests.
*that is meant as a reason why I’m disinclined to identify as being in another time zone.
“1 person has dead after fatal strike on I-75”
I has sad for this person and their loved ones, but also for the headline writer.
Walking on the interstate… there has to be more to the story.
Maybe he was striking for the right to life? I’ve noticed kids playing a car game with their vehicles lately. It’s like “Tag” but with machinery. Two or three assholes playing it were right in front of me tonight and they kept slowing down and changing lanes to block each other, slowing traffic down and being a general nuisance. I get being cooped up is driving these people bonkers but when I was young the game was “How fast can you go?”
“Tag” with Social Distancing. Not saying it’s a good idea…
It was OK when they were playing hide and seek in the empty parking lots but this new thing is a bit much. Someone is going to get beaten. Beaten badly.
I’m sure they all had a good laugh when Grandpa roared by, blaring his horn.
Oof. Double tapped.

Put’s on Ben Shapiro gloves – I agree!
1. No, I played it briefly when it first came out, but it didn’t stick with me.
2. Was never into Pokemon. The novelty of the way the game worked held my interest for a bit.
3. Been a gamer since I first got an Atari 2600. I play mostly on the PC with the exception of playing the hell out of Rock Band 3 with my sister and her family over Xbox Live. (I am pretty good on the drums). On the PC I play mostly strategy games (Civ, Stellaris, CK2) or Tabletop Simulator, or a mix of random titles (No Man’s Sky, Invisible Inc., and Oxygen Not Included are in the current rotation), but very few shooters anymore. I’m not interested in PvP shooters, which most of them are now. I loved the Call of Duty games that ha single player campaigns to play through; my dad and I would each play them and compare notes along the way.
