    Getting a little addicted to video games is normal, even for men in their 30s. What’s not normal is peeing on prostitutes in a bed Obama slept in.

    Tinyface McGhee is trying to dictate who is weird? Talk about pure deflection. That clown is basically in a villain group for talentless weirdos (along with Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Tomi Lahren, Matt Walsh, and Steven Chowder).

    And after all the weird shit Kirk and company have pushed over the years, they are gonna have to do a lot better than Walz being hooked on playing a games console.

        They still working though? Battery damage? I can’t imagine the next scandal, lol

        I found a couple of my old VMUs a while back… Luckily the batteries didn’t leak and they worked once i found batteries to try em with! The Dreamcast really was awesome 😌

      Exactly. But the reality is the republicans would attack whatever side paints him in a negative light. If Walz was attacking video games the republican spin would be “first they’ll take your guns, THEN they’ll want to tell you how to spend your free time!”

      Same, lol. I thought this was a post to make me think he was more relatable and cool. Cause that’s how I felt after reading the first paragraph. When I realized who was making the post and his take on it, all I could think was, why is this guys face so small relative to the size of his head!

    Wow! They’re really struggling to attack him! He’s gotta be squeaky clean if this is the best they can do!

      My favorite was that he came out of retirement after 9/11 to rejoin the national guard, but somehow his second retirement was timed to skip out on a deployment.

      (My real favorite part of that is they have Corporal One-Term from the Public Affairs office trying to cast shade on a 24-year veteran).

        And they say this while ignoring that their guy dodged vietnam because of made up bone spurs.

        Trump is absolutely the weirdest and they want to be just like him

    Walz is the guy who will join your 3 man group in Phantasy Star Online at 2 AM to go take down Dark Falz.

        Ultimate Dark Falz was one thing (3rd form putting your buddies voodoo doll in its mouth so damaging it damaged the player), but Ultimate Olga Flow, yeesh. My brother and I loved that first form, then that second one was always rough.

      Walz manages to save your quarter from getting stuck behind the frame for the top display of the arcade cabinet, and lets you have next.

      Damn those were the good old days… Setting up my PC as a run through to fool the Dreamcast into thinking my DSL was dialup internet. I played PSO and Shenmue so much my family hated it.

        DSL

        I did some shenanigans back in the day to fake a local network for my xbox 2001, so we could ‘LAN’ with others over the internet, mostly 2v2 deathmatches. I remember you neede cross-over UTP cables, and we had to learn what that meant. What did your DSL/Dialup switcheroo give you ins PSO and Shenmue? Just regular old multiplayer?? or something like pokemon trading over the link cable?

          Dunno where op was but in the UK at least it wasn’t possible for the longest time to get the Dreamcast to use a flat rate dial up because Sega did a deal with British Telecom. This made multiplayer pricey af… I know this because my dad was not amused at the £230 phone bill I racked up in the first month of PSO 😅

          I did similar for the Xbox lol, and I live in the states, so everything worked fine in both DC games for me.

          I was surprised it was that simple, because these days it wouldn’t be as easy. I remember being super safe trying to avoid the save corruption called NOL.

          For anyone reading not sure what NOL’ing was:

          When the code is enabled, you withdraw a certain item from your bank depending on which slot you want to target. The victim’s character then reloads as one of the game’s NPC characters. NOL is NPC 00, so she was the default chioce and thus became the generic name for all NPC overwriting. The victim would then have to turn off his Dreamcast to avoid having his character destroyed permanently, and doing so would instead cause him to lose all his unequipped items, since he didn’t save.

          Auto-save NOLing could either be accomplished by waiting to NOL somebody until he had already entered a teleporter, so that his game would automatically save at the end of the loading screen and destroy his character permanently on its own, or by combining a NOL code with a teleportation code that would forcibly send the victim to another floor after overwriting his data. Once the save is complete, the victim has to delete his character and start over, since his class, level, and inventory are forever replaced by that of the NPC. It was quite common on Oberon, which is why most people would play in locked teams on other ships to hide from the people who used those codes.

          Various other codes were also created to improve the efficiency of NOLing other players, such as the “bank reach” code that allowed you to merely face the direction of the bank counter and press the A button to access it, which would allow you to immediately NOL other players after entering a team, instead of having to spend time running from the Hunter’s Guild to the Check Room. Other codes would allow you to load your character data at the Telepipe locations instead of the Hunter’s Guild when joining a team, so that you would be closer to the bank and not have to run as far.

    I still have my dreamy in the office.

    All it’s ever used for is the odd Quake 3 game; for people to play Metropolis Street Racer on it when they ask what console it is; and serving as a reminder that I really need to set a week aside for playing Shenmue III.

        Also there is so little context to this. What counts as “addicted”? Was she just mad, that he wasnt spending enough time with her? Was she maybe just generally against playing video games? Or was he actually addicted? We will never know and its also completely irrelevant information.

      Also there’s like good weird and bad weird. This is good weird. Bad weird is having your name on Jeffery Epstein’s flight logs.
