It's not a fair question. There are games that are unplayabe.
Yeah. that's true. And how do we even define "game"? Where's the line? I think the criteria for an all-time-worst list should be that it was a licensed game that was sold in stores (or on Steam or something like that.) But it's still often a grey area.
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde on NES is really bad, and so is Hong Kong '97 on SNES, but I only played those because I watched the AVGN episodes and wanted to try them for myself for a laugh. Because of that, I'm not counting those. I want to make a pick that was something I played organically, discovered it "in the wild", so to speak, and didn't know it would be bad.
So, I'm gonna say... Realm of the Paladin, and '90s PC rpg. It was so bad it sucks. It was so f*ckin' suck it F*CKS. ROTP absolutely could have been Nerd material.

Zombies,... are legit braindead things. Soldiers would easily kill them before they could win anything
Wow. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you could not be more wrong. The zombie apocalypse is one of the most plausible (and probably inevitable) scenarios when it comes to doomsday fiction. But we need to define "zombie", because that's a pretty vague and unscientific term, and depending on exactly what type you're talking about, it may or may not be plausible. Old school zombies may be less plausible, but the modern zombie, such as those from I Am Legend, 28 Days Later, and World War Z are incredible plausible. What we're talking about there is simply a very fast acting, very contagious virus that turns the host into essentially a super-charged late-stage rabies case. Do realize how fast that would spread? No, soldiers most definitely could not just easily kill them before the virus could spread and get out of hand.
Look at what we all just suffered through. Covid was the most benign and mild pandemic that mother nature could have cooked up, given all the potential viruses on the menu, and it still wreaked some proper havoc and f*cked things up pretty good. It could have been orders of magnitude worse. It was a dress rehearsal for a far worse pandemic, and we failed miserably and spectacularly. Using the dress rehearsal for a stage play analogy, the whole world face planted, fell off the stage, and knocked ourselves unconscious before the opening line. I'm not sure we could have done a worse job. Now imagine if covid was essentially an ultra fast-acting mutation of rabies that caused people to become raging cannibals within minutes of infection. You really think we could just stomp that out before it starts?
A World War Z scenario is not only realistic and plausible, but it seems to me that it's inevitable if we survive long enough. Eventually, nature will cook up a virus like that. There's no reason to think it won't. It's only a matter of time. Our only hope is actually getting our act together before then and being prepared with real, durable, effective pandemic preparedness plans, and hopefully even some kind of adaptive vaccine that protects against pathogens that are as of yet unknown.

AMD, mostly because they are more Linux friendly.

I watch The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That's my sick movie. Haven't seen it in a long time. Which is good.

Because it is. But that doesn't mean that we can't enjoy it while we're here. Unfortunately, not all of us are so lucky.

I admired and respected Jeric more than any person here. So tragic.

Many things, but today I'm just gonna say... my facial hair. All body hair, actually. I wish I could make it all stop growing forever. I'd just prefer to be smooth.

I am waiting... for the next BIG THING.
Other things I am waiting for include, but are not limited to:
- the next pandemic
- games on my Steam wishlist to go on a good sale
- Yellowstone supervolcano eruption
- Avatar 2 to come to Disney+
- planetkiller asteroid impact
- Risk of Rain Returns
- total economic/societal collapse
- Dune Part 2
- malevolent AI takeover
- Tomorrow
- my own death
- a PS5 with a bigger hard drive would be really nice. (825 GB?? THAT'S IT???! C'mon, we need more!!)
- Humanity to wake up and stop trying to destroy itself and the world (but I'm not holding my breath)

Well, that changes everything. My life will never be the same from this moment onward.

I remind myself that I'll be dead before I know it and then my troubles will be over.

Well, no, but I'm not even sure what it's supposed to mean, really. Imaginary germs? Specifically from the opposite sex? I dunno... why be afraid of imaginary germs when there's plenty of real germs to be afraid of?
Wasn't there a House scene where House tells a kid that cooties are real and it's called chlamydia? I mean, that certainly sounds like House.

Oh... I dunno... off the top of my head... I guess... probably helping my friend put a lift kit on his jeep. I don't even know what a lift kit is. I just handed him tools while he worked. :/

Not sure if I can pick just one favorite, but off the top of my head, a few of my favorites include James Rolfe, Ryan George, Jack Douglass, Beau of the Fifth Column, Rhett and Link, and the greatest Pony fan creator to ever live, DWK.

OMG, like Hide and Q! Oh, that's brilliant! I love it. And they could have used the greatest unused episode title ever: Discorderly Conduct. Oh, what a missed opportunity that was. I think I like the idea of Twilight getting the power and thinking that through logic and organization, she can use the power to make the world perfect, end all fighting of any kind, make everyone friends, etc, but learns that opening that can of worms just leads to a snowball effect of chaos no matter how organized you try to be or much you think through each decision, and she begs Discord to undo it all. That could be good, I think.

I don't like my nose, but I can live with it. What I really hate is my smile. Looks like a goblin.

Easy. Friesan. No contest. Arabians are pretty good, too. They'd be a distant second.

Believe it or not, I wanted to be a roller coaster designer when I was a kid. Now? Well, now... I just want to be... dead...

How about we get a chimp and barbecue some shoes? Maybe I'll be a blue piano *ominous tone*.... for Easter...

If you break up after any loving relationship was established, you will most likely never be friends the way you were before the relationship.
Stipulated.

I really wish you'd try. I mean, a lot depends on your compatibility and life situations/goals, etc, but if you line up well on those things, I really think it's worth the risk. When one finds the right person, the transition from friendship to romance should leave the friendship part intact and undamaged, but I completely realize that if the romance fails and a breakup occurs, the relationship can almost never be reverted back. Once merged, the friendship usually cannot be excised from the romance without damaging it. It's a one way transition. I get that. But as someone who has desperately longed for a romantic partner from when I was old enough to be self-aware, and who is now 37 and never been on so much as a first date, and who is a broken, destroyed man who will absolutely die alone and a virgin, and who struggles every minute of every day to cope with the gnawing loneliness and devastating pain of knowing that there is no hope, and that hope never even existed in the first place--as that person, I firmly believe that it's worth the risk for you to take the shot. Many of us don't even get a shot. I hate to see someone let theirs slip away. But I realize that for many people, they feel that the platonic friendship is of more value to them in its current state than a romance would be, so each person has to decide what's right for them. But I sure as hell know what I'd do.

Young? Nothing, really. Old? Everything. I'm not that old, relatively speaking, but I feel like an ancient f*cking corpse whenever an adult youtuber says that their favorite nostalgic childhood game is Halo 3. Like, god dammit, WTF?! Uh... that's so depressing. How am I so old that adults today grew up playing Halo f*cking 3??!

I am terrified of violence and flee the scene as fast as possible as soon as I hear so much as a raised voice, so that would be a negatory. Throughout most of history, the measure of a person's worth (and in this case we're basically talking about men) was their ability to face physical danger and violence without flinching. Cowardice has traditionally been the greatest sin one could commit in many cultures, even if it's just a case of wisely avoiding needless danger. I personally think that mindset is stupid. There are more important character traits, especially in today's world, than not backing down from a fight.

Is neither an option? I'm no leader at all, but I also go my own way and don't follow others. I'm not really good with authority or conforming to what others want me to do. I work best alone.

I don't always eat donuts, but when I do, I prefer Krispy Kreme chocolate.
What games are you currently looking forward to?
in Media Discussion
I love games. I used to play a lot, but my gaming hobby stalled and kinda went into hibernation for many years. I've had a rough time for a long time--lotta setbacks, lotta trying issues, lotta work. I'm not gonna go into any detail, but for about the last decade, I've basically played no new games and have just been trying to keep my head above water, dealing with a lot of sh*t, especially mental health. I'm finally at point where things are looking up, paths are clear, and I can start playing games again. I've got a huge list of must-play games that I am really looking forward to. That's an understatement, really. The promise of playing all the games I want to is the only thing that's kept me going these years. I've missed out on so much, and it's not like I'll ever be able to "catch up" or play everything I want to, but it will be fun to try anyway.
Games on my to-play list include, but are not limited to:
My greatest fear at this point is just some societal collapse or catastrophic climate crisis that will end my ability to play games before I can make a dent in my list.
