^ "Smart" toilet when asked to flush says "Sorry Dave, but i've taken enough crap from you already" It then spews all your old waste material into the bathroom.
< Playing old games and watching old shows I never finished before to try to complete them, just in case life hands me more lemons and my lemonade maker remains on the fritz(having irl issues that i'm sorting out)
v Do you like chocolate(I mean actual chocolate, not the "other" kind)?

matterbandit: Joined a friend for my first eggs benedict brunch of 2020 at a table shielded by plexiglass "walls".
Whoa....some restaurants are getting heavy handed(with what I call "safety theatre"), it seems. Over here most places thankfully just wipe booths down and use paper[or disinfected] menus, and make people wear masks when not at their tables.

(That also reminds me of the "cones of silence" from Get Smart)

^ Not as much as that one fish from Spongebob, but still a lot.
< Currently stuck on Lego Last Crusade where the Jones have used a radio antenna as a bridge but it seems I can't get either of them to push the chair that activates the hidden stairs.
v What's the worst time -in game or real-life- where a simple solution stubbornly eluded you?
^ It was just now when I almost decided to think about and reply with a detailed answer to your query.
< I sometimes get bored of such.
v What do you find either boring or exciting? (answer either or both)
^ Exciting is a relaxing drive through sandbox games or walk through town; boring is getting stuck in a traffic jam irl or having to reboot from a computer crash.
< In fact, fighting the Thuggee whose given healing potions in Lego Temple of Doom is what froze my computer a few weeks ago; my Youtube watch-later list still hasn't recovered.
v GOG's Lego games aren't even a problem for my weakling computer, it must have been something that happened outside the game. Have you ever had a game interrupted by some other program acting out and if so, how bad was your worst moment?
^ Recently Windows 10 kicked me back to desktop a few times while playing in VR because of some notification. It took a while until I realized it was the notification system. I turned that behavior off.
Then I got kicked to desktop while being invaded by someone in Dark Souls 2. I had to turn off something else. Being kicked out of VR can be quite unpleasant, the invasion on the other hand was near a bonfire, so it was just annoying, but:
It's a fricking game starter for Pate's sake. This piece of sssssssssssssssssoftware isn't supposed to do these things without me explicitly telling it to do so. I hate it. I hate it, I HATE IT, I HATE IT!!!!
< I really do feel better now, still hate it, though.
v What do you really, really not like that much. (Please mind the community rules.)

^ Combining unpleasant fluids with pleasure is the biggest abomination to hygiene the world has ever known.
< During my week-long break from the Internet, I got into a Ratchet & Clank binge and have nearly 100%ed the original; if the hover-board races could just be finish-able, that'd be great.
v Speaking of R&C comedy, imagine THAT ^ being stated in one of those cartoons where they sneak sex jokes to a child audience.
^ Johnny is always leaving volleyball practice without putting up the equipment. Last afternoon coach kicked his balls off of the field.
< what?
v Think up an excuse. Quick!
^ I'm not a furry, I play R&C for the colorful graphics and witty writing!
< The Rift Apart girl will be playing Oppression Olympics, you heard it here first!
v What's the weirdest weapon you can think of; as in, describe what all happens when you swing it/pull the trigger/throw it.
^ Crossbow of Gummies. This magical crossbow shoots Gummy Worms, which upon a successful attack, will start draining HP at a rate of 1 per round (multiple gummies increase rate). The only method to remove them is by applying saliva (Standard Action), which will dissolve one gummy. A creature who has its HP is reduced to zero by a gummy attack must make a Fortitude Save DC 20, or is instantly transformed into a Gummy Golem of itself.
< Today feels like a Borderlands day. I haven't played much of anything in the past couple of weeks. Though I may decide on Heretic.
v Favorite old school FPS?
Post edited August 09, 2020 by ZyloxDragon
^ Quake
< also like Quake 3
v Would you purchase and play a 4K remake of Quake?
^ Possibly. But I'd need to buy a 4K monitor before I could consume anything remotely 4K. For now, wallet says no.
< I was ninja'd before I could state that NOFL was a fav FPS of mine. ;)
v What's your favorite "poor man's dinner"? Example: I love sherpherd's pie.
^ chicken-fried steak, fresh mashed potatoes, fresh boiled broccoli, and cornbread
< purple-hulled peas are tasty too
v Do you like Texas-style barbecued beef brisket?
^ Who doesn't like Texan food? It's awesome!
< Occasionally I will watch Townsends do old school recipes. They're simple and some of the ones I try turn out pretty good. I would have never thought to bake an onion since no restaurant I know offers it.
v Best vacation you've ever taken?
^ Cancun was not only fun, but the beach was beautiful and as I was sipping a perfect Piña Colada, I watched an iguana as he crawled by just feet away, checking me out as he passed as if to say, "You look totally chill brah."
< I wish that I had more opportunities to travel for fun and relaxation.
v What is something interesting that you heard recently or found on the internet?
^ Found this quote in the comments section somewhere on the intertubes. It made me teary-eyed because I've met said people:

"The loneliest people are the kindest,
the saddest people smile the brightest,
and the most damaged people are the wisest.
All because they don't wish to see others suffer like they do."

< I told myself I'd get so much stuff done during this pandemic lockdown... :/
v Is there a quote that stuck with you? Share it with us!
