I don't remember my first game or anything like that. What I do remember is my dad coming to pick me up to take me to a movie and we ended up playing Civ2 all day without realizing how much time had passed.

Now that I've had a few days to process the movie I think the things that I didn't like about it overshadow all the things that I did. Maybe I'll go see it again this week to see if I like it better on a second screening or maybe I'll just go watch something that I know I'll enjoy and just move on from Star Wars

I also thought of voting with my alt account but decided against it I'm pretty sure I'd be found out since I doubt anyone else has even heard of Sword of the Samurai- Looking for a new monitor

I'd argue that coloring between the lines is exactly what he was trying not to do. TFA colored within the lines; TLJ sought to scribble all over the page. Not really spoilery but I'll tag it just in case and now that JJ has the reins again...- NFL 2017-2018 Season

TLJ makes me worried about Rian Johnson's own trilogy. It was a beautiful movie but I didn't care for the direction most of the various subplots took. I know he had to color between the lines that JJ left him but still. :/- NFL 2017-2018 Season

I don't like any of the Bethesda type games. I hate the play style so anything built on it is a nonstarter- The Obsidian Community all-time top 106 games (poll) - CLOSED! See new thread for results

Star Wars. I didn't much like it.- SW: The Old Republic - Episode VIII (May RNG Be With You)
Did you actually find players to complete the group missions with or are they soloable by now? I finished them when they launched and everyone was doing them, but getting a group together must be hell these days. When I was leveling, the heroic missions were soloable, but I stopped doing them after awhile since I was constantly over leveled for the content. I don't know if they are soloable when their level cap is close to your characters level cap. All the planetary heroics are super easy to solo and now that everything has level synch you'll never be more than a couple levels higher than the planet- SW: The Old Republic - Episode VIII (May RNG Be With You)

You also don't have any voter ID laws. They tend to be in more prevalent in redder states- Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition
I don't think it hits all that many people but the people that it does affect are disproportionately left leaning. I mean look at that article I posted about Texas, a concealed carry license was a valid form of ID but a student ID wasn't. I think we can guess which way those voters will likely lean. Getting an ID isn't a herculean task for the vast majority of people but those that will have the most trouble from voter ID laws will tend to be from very specific demographics.- Movies You've Seen (or would like to see) Recently

On voter ID requirements I have nothing against having to show ID to vote in general but the aim is usually not to ensure people are who they say they are but instead to suppress the vote. It'd be a lot better if they had some kind of ID card that they could issue to everyone starting at like 16 or 18 and every X amount of years after. Also, to be able to get them/update at a lot more places like schools and hospitals so that access is not an issue. But instead a lack of access and shifting requirements are the point.- Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition
You don't need an ID for most day to day things and it's not required by law. Imagine, if you will, a world where you are now too old to drive and too poor to really travel anywhere so you don't renew your driver's license and you've never had a passport. Maybe you still work but now you rely on public transportation or friends/family to get around or maybe you're done working so you have even less places to be. ID is not required by law and if nothing you do on a daily/weekly/monthly basis requires one then why would you even bother? This is exactly what happened with my grandma. She probably lived the last 15 to 20 years of her life without any form of ID because it was more of a hassle to get an ID than to not have one simply because she didn't need it.- Posting A Funny - The Thread
