Born gay/lesbian, etc? No. When you are a kid, you don't really pay attention to that. I mean sure you flirt with whatever gender you are into, but nothing comes to it until you get into the low teens. It's kind of the same way with the whole gender thing. Sadly we live in a world where the parents try to force it on a kid, who has no clue what is going on, and I don't agree with that one bit. I know that could be a controversial opinion, and I get it. I don't know of any person that is gay, that knew when they were 5 or 6 years old. It was around the teenage years. Which if that is their choice, more power to them. I have nothing against that. What is that saying? Live and let live.

Well to be honest, I don't think it can be repeated here at this forum, but if I had to choose something not as bad. It would be "It was one hell of a ride, there was some hell raising good times, but it's time for me to go." LOL.

A few weeks ago, it snowed. Maybe a few inches. Some areas around got more. As my work can be effected a bit by bad weather, it effected some places. More so it was icy too, and that was just annoying. Then it warmed up a bit, started raining (I live in Washington State, so it rains a lot here). Then there were a few cold mornings where it froze, and now it's warming up again, until next week, it's going to be around 35 degrees, could drop lower.

Last year, the girl I was dating, bought the chocolate ones, and I had a few, they were really damn good. I kinda forgot about Pocky's a bit, then I was at the store a few weeks back and seen they had chocolate and strawberry, so I bought one of each. They are so good. I wish I could find the Cookies and Cream ones around here. I don't know how the Green Tea ones will be considering I am not a fan of Green Tea, but overall. They are very good.

Well considering things have been slow lately at work, I don't have to be there until 5AM sometimes. Lately 4:30AM or so. I usually wake up 45 minutes to an hour earlier. Take a shower, and just relax. Sometimes I've set my alarm earlier, take that shower, and then see if I can get a quick 25 to 30 minutes of sleep. My job is about 7 minutes away so I leave here about 15 minutes away.

Well I would say the dough, but at the end of the day, everything on a pizza is important. Personally I don't mind a thicker dough, a thicker crust, and so on. I also never understood why people hate the pizza crust. If done right, it's so good, if not, still not bad lol.

Back when I was in high school I worked a entry level job cleaning the bakery/deli of the local grocery store. Worked there for 2 1/2 years, and then worked for the state during the summer, after that I moved on to mowing lawns, landscaping type stuff, and worked a holiday job, so there was some income coming in. Personally if you are in high school or looking for work, take what you can. Wal-Mart, GameStop, grocery store, and so on. It's $$$$ coming in, and while after a while the job can be a pain, and annoying. You just have to push through it.

My current job I make good money, and work mornings, ranging from 3AM to 10AM, sometimes later, sometimes 1AM to 11AM (more so during the holidays) and during the not so busy season it's sometimes 5AM to 10AM. I like what I do, but at times can be real ridiculous and not in a good way. That's of course the boss being an idiot etc. But the pay is good, it's $$$$ in my pocket, so I can't complain a ton. Not only that the benefits are VERY nice.

Back in November I went to a metal concert. King Diamond, it was a bucket list show, #1 on my list. As I am a huge fan. Well I did the meet and greet part, where I got to meet the band (which the band itself is legendary) and wow, that was a night I will never forget. To meet one of my heroes when it comes to musicians. To meet the KING. Was crazy. The show was even better.

My last phone, it went a year and a half and drained quickly. My current phone still runs pretty nice. Even when listening to music at work, it only goes down to 80%

Didn't really ask for much this year to be honest. I did get some gift cards, some money, have a NFL football jersey on the way, a 3TB external hard drive, and so on. Probably use a little of the money for the Winter Steam Sale, the rest I will save for a laptop I wanna buy, for about $1100.

Been watching a lot of horror movies lately, obviously it's October, and Halloween is next Wednesday, but the last movie I watched was The Collector, a very SAW inspired type of movie, there are traps and all of that crazy stuff, while the person setting those traps kills people himself, unlike Jigsaw making the people kill themselves or others. Tonight I will probably watch The Thing.

Doing alright, just going to enjoy the weekend, and work on my Youtube channel videos for the upcoming next few weeks. Last night stayed offline most of the late evening, was going to do some gaming, but decided to spend time with the girlfriend, today she is out with some friends at a work fundraiser or something like that, and so I figure I would do something productive today lol.

The other night I played a bit of The Punisher on MAME, before that I was playing Front Mission on the SNES, with a English translated ROM. That game is just amazing, very well done turn based tactical RPG.

Wouldn't you think locking threads would be a problem as well? I mean there are a ton of threads that have potential of being active, or bring some sort of conversation that are just locked now. I think that is another reason that this place is very quiet.

I thought they were teaming up with another site and redoing everything? What ever happened to that idea? I can't remember the site they were teaming up with, but I guess that fell threw. It's a damn shame, but people need to realize something here, these developers and publishers are allowed to this. I mean I am a huge supporter of emulation, but people need to know the facts, and what Nintendo did was not wrong, and for the record, THEY didn't take down EmuParadise, they only took down LoveROMS. EmuParadise owner got worried, and took it down, and I understand that. Nintendo isn't the only one that was behind this. Capcom, Square Enix, etc all were, you know why? You know the NES/SNES Classic? The nostalgia consoles that were released, that is your reason why. Do I think Nintendo and these companies should back off? Yes to a point, but at the end of the day, they can do it.

IgorBird122 : Yeah lol. I ended up drinking one today, so I am down to five more. I thought about having another and mixing some Jagermeister or some Tequila, but I usually don't drink booze on a week night unless A.) I am on vacation from work or B.) its some sort of special occasion.

IgorBird122 : I'd say 90% of the people going on about Waluigi are doing it as a internet meme, because that's technically what he's become, and it's quite funny I think. Although I think Waluigi needs an official platformer, that would be fun as hell I think.

I do hear a lot of ridiculous fake leaks/rumors for Smash, some are saying that Master Chief is going to be in it, the day that happens is the day Microsoft eats dirt, and I highly doubt that will be happening, unless Nintendo buys the Halo rights.

IgorBird122 : That is really funny. Yeah I never bought the games when I was younger used, I'd have to check mine and see if some of them are still on there with crude names lol

Right now listening to the new Retronauts Podcast on Super Mario Bros 2. Pretty damn good gaming podcast.

We live in a world that people think they are entitled to something. Now if you work hard, and you bust your ass, yeah you deserve stuff, but if you don't want to work hard and want the government to give you hand outs (like are last President did) it makes people lazy and they think they are entitled to what the person that works their ass off gets. That's not right. Then we have this outraged culture on the internet, you have SJW's pissed about sexism, racism, etc in video games, when 95% of it is blown out of proportion stupidity by them. GamerGate obviously was a thing that happened, and the GamerGate side won, funny enough 90% of the people supporting GamerGate moved on with their life, and say its' dead now, then you have another 10% that grasp on to it for Youtube views. Then you have the anti GamerGaters that continue to spew stupidity and bring the topic up, although what is really funny, a lot of those speaking out have been outted as real piles of trash.

As for what society is now, it's sad, now granted technically I am a millennial, I was born in 1988, but I don't feel I am part of that group. I work hard for what I want, I don't beg and plead for stupid stuff, and I am very anti SJW and anti censorship. Like it's been said, it's a way of life now, and it's going to be for a long time, and with Donald Trump is president, you have this same group still whining and crying that he's running the show. They can't face the facts that they have to deal with it. As for trolling, which was mentioned. Personally I like to troll, but there is a fine line between trolling, and going farther then that, with doxxing, and SWATTING being a huge thing now, that's too far, I don't think doxxing is a smart thing to do, and swatting has NEVER been the smart thing to do. But having a little banter with someone isn't going to hurt. Maybe someone's feelings, but I only go after the easily offended clowns on Twitter that whine and cry about everything. My thoughts? People need to grow a set and quit being cry babies. Not everything is sexist, racist, misogynist, etc.
