  • What movie(s) did you watch 10+ times and offered something new with each view?

    Jump

  • When I was a teen I loved all their stuff, including the shows... but I get what you mean. Numerous times I've tried introducing it to friends only to be met with blank stares because they didn't quite understand the comedy of it. Sucks to be them.

  • I've watched that probably a dozen times just for my favorite part... "Alright, I AM the messiah..."

  • Any people here orphaned with living parents? what did your life turn out like? What were some of the stuggles, or some of the positives?

    Jump

  • That was my thing too. I vowed to myself to be there for my kids and not be like my father. My oldest daughter has Cerebral Palsy and still lives with me, and that helped me focus a lot on the more important things. She is doing well (it's a milder form of palsy) and has a job she loves. My other daughter bought her own house nearby a few years ago, so I also help her taking care of the place which gives me lots to do. I'm in my 50's now and have some health problems from all the stupid crap I did when I was younger (turns out we're not indestructible like we thought when we were young) but we're all happy, comfy and safe and that's what matters the most.

  • I guess it turned out ok. My parents were never married and because of my dad's temper I lived with my grandmother until grade school when she died. I then lived with my real parents for two years, and then with my mother and her new bf for a few more before I ended up in foster care at the start of grade 6. ( I had run away from home and was living on the streets when Child and Family services picked me up.)

    By grade 12 I had been in 10 different schools and 6 different foster homes, so I learned to not trust people much. I was a hyperactive kid (now they say I have ADHD but in the 80's I was just "hyper") and got in a lot of trouble over the years. One of my foster parents ended up having a nervous breakdown, I ended up in a youth jail, and was living on my own at 17. Later ended up in a provincial jail for getting mad and putting a cop in the hospital.

    But then came my daughters, the first of which was born in 93. It settled me down a lot and made me start caring about things, and helped me focus on being less destructive. If it wasn't for them, I'd probably either be in jail or dead.

    I wouldn't change any of it though. It was chaotic but fun overall and I learned a lot over the years.

    Ubisoft Says Monetization ‘Makes The Player Experience More Fun’

    Jump

  • Sadly I did. Bought the first 5 far cry games and some expansions because I wanted to show my support. Far Cry 6 didn't work on my old assed PC because of the DRM so I pirated it instead (TY Empress and Fitgirl) and it worked like a charm.

  • I'm about 80 miles from where I was hatched. Moved away when I had kids because I didn't want to raise them in Winnipeg (Canada) because.. well.. Winnipeg.

    It'll always be my home town, but I now live in an area with a population density of 7 ppl per square mile, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. (The loudest things out here are the birds, and it's nice and peaceful.)
