Early Sunsets

I've got a gold collector's edition Zelda: Ocarina of Time cartridge for N64, which is fairly rare. Those sometime sell for close to $100 on eBay. I also had a yellow Donkey Kong 64 cartridge somewhere, but I'm not really sure what happened to it. Those are uncommon, but I don't know if I'd call them rare.

Usually I only use a walkthrough if I'm completely stuck on something, or if a game has so much complexity that there's no hope for me to figure out anything on my own. Terraria and World of Warcraft come to mind.

I guess it depends on a few factors. Certain games (like racing games) are much better on console. I know you can plug a controller into a PC, but unless you're using an emulator for an old console, a controller kind of kills the main point of using a PC, and having a controller out in addition to a mouse and keyboard makes things feel really cluttered and in general is just a pain. Consoles are also great for their simplicity. You just turn it on, go to your game library, and start up a game. Using voice comms on console is a lot easier, too. No crossing your fingers and hoping Discord cooperates. Of course, there's also the fee you have to pay to play multiplayer games on console, which blows. That's the main reason I stopped playing console games for the most part. I prefer PC for most of my games (excluding Forza), mostly because games just run smoother and better on PC. A PC is also easy to upgrade down the line when things start getting outdated and games become too hard to run, which is a bonus. And then obviously there are all the PC games that can't port to console because of their control scheme, or at least wouldn't port very well. A mouse and keyboard has way more potential given the number of buttons compared to a controller. League of Legends comes to mind as a game that would be basically impossible to play on console, and the Terraria console port really doesn't feel great to play.

My favorite is First Suite in Eb by Gustav Holst. The second and third movements in that song sound great and are so much fun to play on bari sax, especially the bari / tenor duet in the second movement..

First I'd ask if they're drunk or joking. Second would be to tell them they've made a horrible judgement error.

Nacho cheese, followed shortly by sweet and spicy chili. Spicy nacho is also really good, and cool ranch is okay.

I really only use it for my signature. Other than some of the capital letters I can still write and read cursive, but honestly it seems kind of pointless.

Not especially. I tend to get the same thing every time I go to a restaurant, though I have tried new things the past couple times I've been to one.

How I got into MLP was a little unusual. There were a few points where I had the opportunity to start watching the show, but it took a few years for me to actually commit to giving it a fair chance. Freshman year of high school (2013) during one of our summer practices for marching band, a friend of mine asked if I'd ever seen MLP and showed me the Smile HD video. I ended up watching the first three episodes on Dailymotion then stopped (good job me, stopping right before the first good episode). I wanted to like it, but the first few episodes were meh and I didn't feel like putting in the work to find more. A few years later I had an online friend who was into the show, and she's actually on the forums, though she hasn't been active in a while (@Storm, I think. We met through the Warrior Cats Forums). She referenced it on a few occasions and made me an OC at some point (think I might still have it kicking around somewhere on one of my old hard drives). Someone else in that circle of friends apparently didn't like me very much and ended up driving me out of the group, otherwise I may have ended up watching the show sooner. Senior year of high school two more of my marching band friends asked if I watched MLP because of my email avatar (it was a dragon. It wasn't a character from MLP, but I guess the art style was kind of similar). I didn't really watch it at that point, but I'd actually completely forgotten about it by that point, so that kind of put the show back in my memory. Once I got to college, one of my half-sisters let me use her Netflix account since campus was a few minutes from her house. I was scrolling through the children's section (because animation is miles better than live action imo, plus they're just more fun) and saw MLP on there. I didn't watch it at the time, but I filed that away. The football stadium at my college was being torn down at the end of the football season so it could be rebuilt. The marching band had a storage room under the stands for our instruments, and we were cleaning out the room after the last football game so everything could go in storage while the stadium was rebuilt. Before we left everyone signed the walls, and on one of the walls was a big drawing of Pinkie Pie (notice a theme with marching band and bronies yet?). When I got back to my dorm room I decided to give MLP another chance, which lead to me binging every episode out at the time. That was November 2018. I joined the forums the next January during winter break. I wanted a place to go where I could be around other people who enjoyed MLP as much as I did, and I've never liked using things like Discord in big groups (I always end up lurking and never actually saying anything. Forums feel a bit more like making blog posts than talking to people, so it's easier), so I searched My Little Pony forums and ended up here. Nearly two years later and I'm still here. Doubt I'll ever leave.

I want to get Rainbow's cutie mark on both hips / upper outer thigh regions. If the pain ends up being bearable, I also want a giant pair of black pegasus or angel wings across my back (goodbye, wallet). I've considered others, as well - probably a UV reactive Fullmetal Alchemist one that runs all the way from my right hand up to the right side of my face. Invisible in normal light, but glows under a black light (again, RIP my wallet if I ever get that tattoo).

World of Tanks. I don't really have anyone to play it with anymore, and it gets super boring and stressful to play alone. Most multiplayer games are like that. Also MechWarrior 2. I found a way to play it on Windows 10, but I can't get it to work properly with the joystick I have, which is mildly upsetting. I think it's a bit too recent for the game. We're talking late 90's coding, so things often aren't just plug-and-play.

My first one was a Nintendo 64 that I recently found out used to belong to one of my half sisters, before she gave it to us. I'm like 95% sure it still works, but all of our controllers are broken. It even has a Gameshark, which was really cool to use on the off chance it actually worked. Usually it didn't, but it was fun when it did.

Dan's videos are always great. Just a dude (often with friends) fucking around and doing whatever he wants.

We didn't have internet until we got a Windows XP computer and DSL when I was about 6, I think. Before that we had an old Windows 95 machine, and I used to absolutely love playing MechWarrior 2 on that thing. I'm obsessed with mecha now because of that (western mecha. Think big, slow machines with an entire battalion's worth of firepower. The hyper-mobile eastern mecha are cool too, but not really my preference). Anyway, I'm going on a tangent again. When I think "old internet," I remember my days on the original Warrior Cats forums in elementary school, back before it was shut down and the Warrior Cats Roleplaying forum replaced it. I absolutely loved it there. So many good memories of talking to people and roleplaying. I remember a food fight roleplay I used to be in. It was a strange amount of fun. The new forums are alright, but there's like nobody on anymore. It's not quite dead, but at any given moment there's only about fifteen to twenty people online, compared to when the average used to be in the hundreds on the original site. Granted, this was back when forums were much more popular and Discord didn't exist. but still.

I've always thought living creatures (including humans) were disgusting, so given the chance and funds, I would replace as much of my body as possible. Having just a brain attached to a robot body would be cool. Not a pseudo-human body, but something that's obviously mechanical. If you're getting a robotic body, you should go all out instead of trying to make it seem like you're still human. On the level of just prosthetic limbs, if they were at the point where they were just as good as natural limbs, I'd still love to replace as much as possible. Being able to repair broken parts in a matter of minutes or hours rather than wait and hope they heal would be convenient.

When I close Twitter or the forums, stare at my screen for a few seconds, and unconsciously open Twitter or the forums again.

I'm a big fan of the Advanced Warfare edition Xbox One, but the Halo 4 edition Xbox 360 was really cool, too.
