Did you file an insurance claim? I thought most insurers required a police report.

Yeah, I had to do that when someone drunkenly plowed into my car in my apartment complex like 15 years ago.

I even went and found the car that hit me on the other side of the complex, and still the police did nothing with it.

Did your insurance go after the guy? Wondering since someone on my block just had a hit and run on their car last night, but we got the plate of the car.

Not to my knowledge. Gave them the license plate and photos showing my car's paint all over their car and never heard from them again once they paid the shop.

Was one territory, south half was basically sorta civilization and the north half was weirdo proto-libertarians, criminals and snow farmers. Some con-man moves the capital way up north and so a bunch of wealthy families who owned all the poo poo by the train lines in the south said gently caress you and made their own state.

Going by the comedies and reality shows advertised during every single CBS / Fox football game, I really gotta disagree here man.

They don’t make guitar hero or rock band anymore do they?

Yeah, the plastic instrument fad crashed and burned hard like 5+ years back, which led to the double problem of there's a billion guitars out there for it, and you can get those for nothing, but the adapters you need for the newer consoles were made by a company that only made a handful of them before dying, so are insanely hard to get (this may be a solved issue, I haven't checked in years).

A beautiful story:

https://twitter.com/Bowl_of_Worcel/status/1480364129315659788

quote:

Here's the thread:

I have a Bob Saget story to share.

I never really met him. But in 2007 Guster was playing at the Boston Opera House. We noticed that Saget was performing a sold out show at the Orpheum down the street, and we thought it’d be funny to invite him to appear on stage with us...

..in some capacity. We reached out to his management to ask if he’d burst through a Bob Saget banner during our encore.

They told us to go ahead and make the banner. It was really homespun...

The encore comes and we realize we never even told Adam about the plan. We’re onstage getting the audience to chant “Bob! Bob! Bob!” so that Bob Saget might magically burst through this oversized sheet of paper, and I can see Adam getting super annoyed...

... he's strumming his guitar super aggressively because he thinks this is a lame joke, an exercise in anti-climax. That we’ll have our bus driver or our guitar tech burst through and then play a deflated encore after riling up the crowd with an unfulfilled promise.

Except Bob Saget actually burst through the banner. The crowd went fucken bananas. He hugged Ryan, shook the band members' hands, waved at the crowd, told Ryan “this is awesome" and walked off stage. That was it...

Many years later Ryan was hanging in LA with mutual friend Jeff Garlin when Saget showed up. After a while, Ryan asked him if he even remembers walking on stage at the Boston Opera House during the Guster show...

Saget lit up. "I got in a car which drove me to a venue, walked directly on stage, the crowd erupted, I walked off stage and got right back in a car. It was the best!"

It really was. RIP, Bob Saget.

Childhood PC games:

This terrible X-men game I had on our 386, lost it when our house got broken into and the pc was stolen... which worked out pretty well because we got a 486

But seriously, look at how bad this poo poo was:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J25t0owHsaU

A ton of Wolfenstein 3d. Dad knew you had to teach kids the right way to be, and that way was killing nazis.

Lots and lots of games growing up. Daycare I was at when I was really young had a commodore 64, so played a bunch of terrible games on that. Eventually ended up with a 486/100 in my room with a 1 speed CD-rom drive that was my primary pc until college.

Went to Hong Kong to visit family often. I'd go to the golden arcade in Sham Shui Po and buy tons of cds of god knows what. So many game roms, nonsense japanese games I had no hope of figuring out, old roms and so much pornography. Oh, and most of the cd's had tons of viruses, so I got really good at reinstalling dos / windows 3.1 / windows 95 and figure out how to get things working through those things.

Man that place ruled so much. They cracked down by the mid 90's and instead of this giant mall full of piracy, there'd be guys at the entrance of the place that'd ask you if you wanted software, and they'd take you to fake store fronts and eventually (kinda scarily) random rear end apartments where you'd get all the poo poo you'd want.

One thing younger people will not realize is that every old pc action game was awful because PC controllers were complete and abject trash until the xbox 360 came out. Just hundreds upon hundreds of godawful pieces of poo poo that were all terrible.

Flight sticks? Awesome, an actual controller that could move a character to the left or right in a proper manner? Impossible.
