I'm not even going to look for a picture of a horse in front of a computer made of chicken wire and wood slats. What kind of PC do you have? So many games don't even care anymore.

I've had a Macbook Pro for a computer for the last 7 years. Been thinking more and more lately that I want to get a gaming PC in the next couple years when I get back to working full-time and have a more steady income.

Maybe then I can finally play Phantasy Star Online 2

Love seeing people get upset when you prove em wrong then delete their tweet

This nikka was like "name a female lead super hero movie that isn't a team up" someone immediately said Buffy, he deletes his tweet and said basically "lol I didn't think it was a serious thing"

I have a 560ti and an Athlon II X4

which X4? I just did a check of the x4 640 vs a i7 920 and yours is just slightly ahead.

i have a 670gtx i7 930 and I can run 70% of new steam games at near max if not max. you should be able to run most of the stuff with no real problems, but maybe have to worry about AAA games.

I think it's the 640. I can run games fine but the computer is pretty slow now.

I think it would be an interesting take if Seamus was basically Doctor Aphra. Even stole the power suit.

Pokémon Uranium is legit. They do one super progressive thing right from jump: they ship the "are you a boy or a girl?" and let you pick between three character models, one masculine, one feminine, and one androgynous. Then the games just uses "they" the describe the player character.

That's so goddamn easy. Three character models and "they" and your game is immediately that more inclusive.

Guys, I just had this crazy idea. What if the horror icons of film took on the heroes of marvel and dc? Who would win?

First up, Jason Voorhees vs Captain America. Who would win?

"As a white mother to a mixed race child, I couldn't 'cope' with my daughter's hair"

There aren't enough emojis for bullshit right here. Like you had a whole 9 fuckin months to watch a handful of youtube videos. You ain't know what you signed up for?! What did you expect your kid to come out with blonde hair, blue eyes or something? Like holy fuck, you think black women came out the womb with knowledge on how take care of black hair? They had to learn that shit just like anyone else so this whole "woe is me" shit is so fucking annoying.

Agreed. I always thought to myself, is it bad of me that I side eye the fuck out of couples when I see them with an obvious black-mixed-black child with hair that hasn't been taken care of, where you can tell theres clearly damage to it.

Friday for example, I was out and waiting on the side for my food at a take out shop. I see this couple whom is clearly White man and Asian woman walk in with this little black boy. Didn't matter to me whether he was mixed or not, he was a little black boy and I looked at his hair and it was bad, I could tell from where I was standing his hair was dry and he hadn't had a proper hair cut/trim/shape up.

I felt bad for not saying anything, because he was scratching his head something fierce, but its not my kid, and you know how people get when you even try to suggest something, at least from my experience you look like me approaching someone and they get defensive real quick even though I'm just trying to help. I see little girls with their hair just in a pulled back ponytail and I know its damaging their hairline.

IMO, these people are probably the people that love the idea of having a "mixed child" but don't know how to deal with the reality of them when it comes to hair, and don't take the time to learn out of their unnecessary frustration.

Ugh. The info is out there. All the Google. All the YouTube. All the libraries. All the bookstores. The irony that they are willing to engage with black babies but not black adults.

I was at a Target in the newly expanded "Ethnic Hair" section. Most of the major natural hair companies were represented and Target had pics of the CEOs and Founders of the black owned (or originally black owned) companies. They are not fucking around. And I saw a white couple with a black kid in the aisle. I wanted to cheer...for them actually doing their job.

I think the problem is these parents don't even anticipate that there's going to be a problem. Many (I don't quite want to say most) white people are probably still unaware of the differences with Afro hair and probably just think we intentionally style it into afros. I imagine if they do notice a problem they probably think it's just their kids' hair and not a thing with with black hair in general. If they're not aware of the differences, they won't seek out help.

I think at the very least mixed couples should look for advice from the grandmother. But yeah, there probably needs to be some "Hair tips for mixed-race babies" thing going on.

On the subject, I actually started washing my hair daily. It's fine.

I think Nintendo is one of the few companies that could get away with doing its own PC game client like Battle.net as well as selling its PC games at retail.

I'm trying to get more into Marvel's Black Panther. I watched the discontinued animated series. What content should I consume next?

I would like to see a spin off like this but I think Marvel/DC would always win. Are the horror icons even that powerful?

Well, Jason is pretty much immortal, unless he takes on a magic user. Pinhead is a inter-dimensional demon. The aliens. Freddy Krueger vs Stephan strange would be awesome. Dream eater vs the sorcerer supreme.

Freddy is basically fueled by hell and you never know if you're in reality when you're fighting him, and Pinhead is an invincible GODLORD. Candyman is pretty powerful too.

I don't think I watched any horror movies growing up so I'm unfamiliar with their powers. I did not know they all apparently can loan powers from Satan.

How's it going? Trying to avoid all these burgers and dogs for the weekend, but they got me on the grill 😓

Also those icons are only powerful against average summer camp teenagers.

How do they keep stoping Jason anyway? Didn't they chain him up and toss him in the ocean?

lol Yeah, if there's one guy who's a lameass wimpy loser, it's the dude with the pins driven through his head to the bone.

Barker ended up writing him so that he became Godlord of Hell, until Lucifer killed him and got Hell wiped away. Even as he was dying, Pinhead still fucked everyone up.

I mean, when he first showed up, Jason was a klutzy idiot who would trip over his own feet. He just kept getting stronger and stronger every time he got killed. Jason is stupid. Friday the 13th is stupid.

Hey Fawful, you think Strange would be able to take on Pinhead?

Yes. Strange is OP just like Pinhead is. Strange takes on that kind of shit all the time, and Pinhead is a reasoning, intelligent being who will bargain. In some ways, Pinhead is very reasonable, unlike Freddy who is chaotic evil and Jason who is just a killing machine. All Strange would need is a bargaining chip.

He couldn't kill Pinhead, though.
