  • I stick to my original statement bud. You’re just supporting the creators. There’s nothing wrong with that. If anyone tells you otherwise just hit them with something like, “unlike you I support content worth keeping around.”

    And enjoy the ttrpg’s my guy. I love to see a hobby I’ve loved for so long grow in popularity.

    I went stopped in Boston twice on vacation for a few days each trip. Aside from the white power shit that happens there I really liked it. It was filled with quaint little shops, the people were cool, the views were awesome, I got to huck a box into the Boston harbor. I would 💯 go back. Shit was a vibe.

    On the flip side, I went down to Salem to do tours and stuff and I fucking hated it. The only cool spot was a pet supply place where they sold homemade treats and dog food along with toys and stuff. I was high as fuck petting their shop cat for line 20 minutes. Definite 10/10. If you’re nearby get fucking blasted and go pet this lady’s cat. She was super cool about me not wanting to come in and look around. Just wanted to pet the cat.

    It was the New England Dog Biscuit Company. This was the cat. Go pet the fucking cat.



  • I had one seizure as a kid (febrile) and one very brief one as an adult. I had been awake for like 26-27 hours at this point. I went to work really early the night before and worked all the way through the day and finally went home around 10. My friends wanted to midnight release the second transformers movie so I went too. There was a trailer for one of the Harry Potter movies with a dementor flying over a city. I remember my eyes rolling back and convulsing for about 6-7 seconds. My buddy next to me looked at me and said, “dude what the fuck was that?” I responded with, “I don’t know, I think I just had a seizure.” We watched the movie I fell asleep, didn’t like it that much.

  • It’s a little expensive to get started doing, but backpacking is awesome. My favorite time is when I’ve got dinner in the pot, my hammock is all set up, I’m hitting my THC pen, and relaxing. The views are usually really nice too if you’re in a nice area or are willing to drive a few hours from your home. Campsites/Park entrance is pretty cheap and your gear should last. If you do all your shopping online it should look like this.

    Tent: ~$75 Shoes: ~$50-75 Backpack: ~$50-$75 Hammock (if you decide this over a tent): $40ish If you go hammock you want to get either a wool blanket and an underquilt which will be $50-$80 or you could just get a sleeping bag which will vary in price based on how awesome of a bag you need. You’re also going to want a bug net for the hammock. Get one that zips shut vertically. It can be a pain to get into the hammock with your phone, a meal, your blankets, and whatever else when you have no free hands and no head space. I think mine was like $15. I would also suggest one that has some sort of internal support frame. Mosquitos love me and I’m open tore up on one of my arms and one of my legs as they will bite me through the bug net and my hammock. They make sprays to keep them off your gear that last for long periods of time but I haven’t tested them. A water bladder: $20 You could get a filtration system, I carry like 5 liters of water. It gets really heavy. And a jet boil: $20-$30

    There are other misc things I would suggest packing to. Medical supplies (band aids, ace bandage, some sting ointment, Advil/Tylenol, common stuff that should be around your house)

    The rest is just food. Meals that don’t need to be refrigerated and if possible use some of your water. Soups are good if it gets cold at night. Take some vegetables and some bouillon cubes. Even some dry noodles and make a meat free chicken noodle soup. Or canned tuna and rice. I try to stay away from the dehydrated premade meals because there’s a ton of sodium in them, they are pretty expensive, and most don’t taste that great.

    Most importantly, if you decide to pick up the hobby, please be safe when doing so. Start with short hikes, make sure that you have a compass that doesn’t need Internet to function (don’t rely on your phone) have print outs of your map, and let people know where you’re going. If you go to an official park, talk with the people at the front office before embarking. They will know of any deviations on the trail, good places to get fresh water that you can filter/boil if need be, any problem areas in the trail, and most interestingly, what trails have the best views and will fit your skill level of hiking.

    I can send you links to what I’ve purchased as well as a short review of my gear as well.

    This is a semi spicy take but hear me out. He went on for like 5 albums about what a lonely piece of shit he was and that no one loved him and he was a horrible person. He even alludes to being a predator in Science Fiction. I think the song is called, “in the water.” While I would never condone what he did, his actions, in a way validate his music. Something that was often in doubt for me in that genre.

    The line I’m referring too is, “hide your daughters, the old men say. We were young once before, we know how we get our way.”

    I went to an Indian restaurant a long time ago with two coworkers on lunch. The waiter asked me how hot I wanted to which I responded, “just medium I have to go back to work.” It was chicken vindaloo and it was the hottest shit I’d ever eaten and enjoyed. I was sweating really bad but it was so good. I barely made it back to the office before I had to start shitting.

    I go back on a Friday after work. I tell the same guy, make it as hot as you can. It wasn’t nearly as hot as it was that day. I was mad disappointed. Still really good but I wanted it to melt my face like the end of Indiana Jones. Still burned my asshole that way. Defifinite 5/7. Would recommend.



  • Volition has been a long standing company with a slew of awesome games. They did a ton with THQ like 20 years ago that were amazing.

    Summoner is one of my favorite games to date. It didn’t age well, but the story was amazing.

    The descent games were intense as well.

    I couldn’t find it on their wiki page, but I’m pretty sure they had a hand in loads of wrestling games in the late 90’s early 2000’s. WWF no mercy, smack down 1-4 as well.

    As for saints row, I beat 1-3. The storyline to the first was unmatched by any GTA storyline. It was a shame to see them slink away from the original due to ridicule of being a “GTA clone.” The story was compelling, the voice acting outside of johnny gat was decent. The multiplayer experience offered far more than anything GTA had at the time. The best we got for GTA was in 2008 when they released their free roam multiplayer with GTA 4. By then saints row 2 had full coop.

    Case and point. You’re either too young to know this developer in their prime, too retarded to recognize the loss of a good developer (albeit they haven’t put out much in the last few years), or both.
