Californication

It only makes sense if the probability of nuclear war is higher than the probability of the downside of holding the stocks.

Playing the Genesis Joe and Mac. This game is so good. I actually feel it's the closest game to Alien Soldier because it requires precision and is essentially a boss rush. I've been playing off and on for weeks and finally made it to level 7. I kind of suck, but also it's not easy. Better people than me should speed rush this game.

I've got to try an original Saturn. I've got a wireless one and it just feels, okay. For the this new modern Saturn controller, my issue is the weight. It doesn't feel solid like the nice 8-bitdo Sega wireless controller. Curious if the original Saturn has a better weight to it. (I also kind of don't like the sound it makes when I press the buttons) Again, the modern one isn't a bad controller I'm being nitpicky.

It's Play Asia that gets a bunch of the same licenses as SLG

I'm with Kguillemette the Xbox 360 controller is the most comfortable controller I've ever used. Really feel stupid for getting all my cross platform games on the PS3. #toolatetoturnback

Flimsy pre-text meaning people should not be upset that the cops continue to murder black people for no reason? First amendment to the constitution protects freedom of assembly. If you think these protest were wild you should read about the protests that got us the 40 hour work week and child labor laws. Last couple years was nothing compared to those protests.

Yes. If you want a sealed copy you can buy the game again for $15 in a year or two.

Donald Trump was the most useless, incompetent president we've ever had. He damaged our relations with multiple international partners and even now the jagoff is putting out pro-Putin messages that are essentially anti-American. I do not understand how anyone, any where would define Trump as a strong president since he failed at nearly everything he tried to do. The only thing Trump was successful at was destroying the U.S. govt. from within because he is a parasite. Putin is making the move now because the U.S./U.N put Russia in an uncomfortable situation and Putin responded. I think it's fair to blame Biden on not finding a diplomatic solution and for allowing the U.N to push as far as they did. But this strong/weak president argument doesn't make sense.

Just to be clear I did not say anyone forced Putin to do anything. I am saying that US/Nato created a situation that Putin could capitalize on.

You are talking about the U.S. and Nato like they are some positive influence on the world. You do realize the U.S. starts more wars than any other country, right? Russia isn't in Nato because they don't believe it's in their self interest. This is all a game of power. The U.S. overthrows governments and starts wars all over the world because it thinks it is maintaining/increasing it's power. Russia is doing the same. I am not sympathetic to Russia, this is the way of the world and the U.S./Nato escalated this entire situation.

Nato is a political device. The inclusion of Ukraine is a threat to Russia.The U.S. was ready to shoot nuclear weapons when the USSR was planning on going to Cuba. This is a very similar scenario. Agreed, Russia should not have invaded Ukraine. The point is the U.S. and Nato created the situation that Russia would have to respond to. Edit: also, it's really weird to see someone use the words simp and victim blaming when talking about international politics, just saying.

The size of Nato in Eastern Europe has been a concern of the Soviet Union and Russia for decades. Senior George Bush promised Mikhail Gorbichev the U.S./Nato would not go into Eastern Europe. The U.S./Nato planted the seeds for this entire conflict.

Not sure if I've ever agreed with Phart010 before, yay 2022! That is pretty well said. To continue, China is doing great, they have no reason to rock the boat with their steady growth. I mean it's not impossible, but the talking point is annoying since it is complete conjecture and it doesn't add anything except fear and mis-direction to the state of things. Someone said CNN was pushing the China nonsense. At the end of the day, the U.N./U.S. planted a flag they weren't going to stand up for by using oil sanctions. This is a win for the arms industry, and a loss for everyone else.

@ViKiNgThat's pretty cool. If you ever come across Alien Soldier or Battle Mania 2 (loose) or Gaia Seed or Harmful Park (ps1) and you don't need them, they've all been on my list way too long.

Wow. I've been looking for a loose copy and haven't seen one less than $500.

Both of those messages tie in with Republican themes. I think your getting tied up because both of those messages are bad things. But both of those are tried and true arguments for turning out their voters. I mean it could be a one-off, or a trial balloon, if you hear it in other places then it's a campaign.

I mean ya, they keep their people afraid/angry to keep them motivated, but you'd think that messaging would have to take a long journey to get back to blaming the Democrats. Nothing else to jam up the news cycle maybe, it just seems like such a weird cue to Republicans. Like it falls under anti-war as far as limiting the U.S./NATO supplying Ukraine with weapons, it's pro-russia and I thought they generally use Russia the way they use China. I mean at that recent confirmation hearing the Republicans essential called that female nominee a Russian spy. Idk

Who is that messaging for though? Why do his handlers want him to put out that message, I don't see what the goal is.

There's a standard, but there is also a 2,000 print C/E. Mmmm kind of expensive. https://www.pixnlove.com/nintendo-switch/904-sturmwind-ex-collectors-edition-switch-9782371881372.html

Pistachio and Walnuts. Fun fact - Walnuts can help keep cholesterol in check.

I like that game, but got stuck trying to find the boss stage.

Put it there is a way to play as cool contra clone. That's gotta be OP. Glad I got that European pre-order (though this is supposed to hit Euro Brick and Mortar.)

Pretty good gaming the last few weeks. Beat Strikers 1945 Saturn. Beat Parodius Da SFC - just kept throwing quarters at it. Got to the final boss on Sukyugernyai Saturn. Finally beat the level 3 boss on Tatsujin Sega.
