| Well, next weekend is Valentine's Day. And I need to confess, actually hate this holiday. Why, you may ask? Because in my perspective it's so fake and forced. I don't consider it to be a real holiday at all, but more of a fabrication of the Hallmark company as an excuse to pressure people (men in particular) to buy their crappy chocolates and overpriced greeting cards. Secondly, I honestly don't believe in the concept of "true love' or "love at first sight". In my experience, such things don't exist. I can't recall a single moment in my life where I was romantically interested in anybody. Thirdly, I came to the realization a long time ago, that 98% of the time, romantic relationships of all types only end in pain and misery. If you don't believe me, just ask the countless people (Again, most of whom are men) who got screwed over by their supposed love of their life, be it in court or in general. To clarify, when I say love, I mean specifically for someone outside my family. Of course I care for my parents, siblings, nieces and nephew, etc. but in a different way. For example, my family has a friend, who I will call Steve. Steve works as a computer specialist, and makes good money. He's perhaps the smartest person I know. But simultaneously, he's also the stupidest. I say this because he has been in I don't know how many relationships, and they always end the same. See, Steve has cancer, and is absolutely terrified of dying alone. So every woman he's ever been with takes advantage of him for his money before eventually stabbing him in the back. Then he'll cry about it to my mom for three hours over the phone, before going straight to the Internet to find another one, and the cycle repeats from there. This man is willing to be in one fake relationship after another with blatant golddiggers, just so he won't be alone when he dies. Now, is that not the saddest, most pathetic thing you've ever heard? And he knows it too, but refuses to listen to reason. To all the married ladies reading this, be honest. If Johnny Depp showed up at your door and said he wanted to marry you, you'd drop your current husband faster than he could blink. Wouldn't you? Guys, you'd do the exact same thing if it was someone like Pamela Anderson. My point being, if you're in a relationship, and someone better comes along, could you really say no? |
| Any Pokemon fans reading this? I just watched a video detailing the absolute epidemic of lowlifes scalping Pokemon trading cards, like literally buying up entire stocks to resell and assaulting people over said cards. I mean, I used to be a big Pokemon fan myself, but this is just absurd! I know I'm kind of late to this party, so to speak, as this has apparently been going on since COVID started. Let me tell you, I had pretty low faith in humanity before, but this pretty much broke the camel's back for me. How pathetic can you get? Over a children's card game? I feel bad for any kid that just collects them as a hobby, only to have their hopes dashed by these scumbags. If you're one of these people, I can only say you are without a doubt the lowest form of life on this planet. Enjoy scalping cards in order to pay your rent to your mothers that let you live in their basements, losers. |

Childhood Guilty Pleasures When I was a young kid, I used to love the original Power Rangers. But now, looking back, I see how corny and ridiculous it was as a show and can't help but think, "How was I a fan of this?" Are there any cartoons/shows/films you used to love as a child, but now as an adult, you're like "oh man, this is embarrassing. I actually liked watching this?" I won't judge anyone for their answers. We were all young once, and we all have embarrassing memories we wish we could forget. Feel free to share your entertainment of choice from yesteryear. |
| Perry Mason. I didn’t get control of the TV until we had cable. So, there was children’s tv programming? Thank you Law & Order for procedural…can’t get enough of that…26 years. I guess tv is…dead? I can’t find any RCA ports on the flat panel to hook up my VCR.  You guys know I live in a bunker, right? |
Twiga  , for a bit, Inspector Gadget came after The Space Giants, so we watched that, too. Again, I watched it because of my brother. The weird thing is, I'm the older sister. I guess there wasn't anything better on in the mornings. Lol |
Wanna Hear a Joke? A Frenchman, an Englishman, an Irishman and an American are all captured by a terrorist group. The leader says to them "The bad news is we're going to kill you. But the good news is we are a fair people, and are going to grant you each one last request." The Frenchman: "I want to hear a thousand orchestras playing the French national anthem." The Englishman: "I want to hear a thousand choirs singing God Save the Queen." The Irishman: "I want to see a thousand Irish dancers performing the Riverdance." The American: "Kill me first." |
BIG BAD WOLF is Lucky  - Any chance Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps will get married in the upcoming sequel? |
| So, funny story: a few weeks ago I was babysitting my 7 year old niece. She says to me "So what are we gonna do today?" I couldn't resist, and responded "The same thing we do every day, try to take over the world!" I knew she wouldn't get the joke, but I just had to say it anyway. And guess what she said next? "Okay, lets do that!" LOL |
| ThunderX - That's awesome! Congratulations! Yes I have been busy, mostly with personal stuff. Sorry for the repeated delays on the campfires, it can't be helped. |

| Hello friends. May I ask you for advice? I have been playing video games as a hobby since roughly the age of five. I don't regret it one bit. But lately, I've been starting to think how it's been distracting me from being more productive. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually considering cutting games from my life all together, so I can focus on other more important stuff. I have a bad habit of procrastinating, and I hope this will motivate me to break it. Anybody think I should go through through with this? I know it's really up to me, but I still would value your input. |
Attention TCG and RPG fans! Anybody have experience in developing trading card games and/or tabletop games? Or at least know someone who does? If so, please contact me, because I'm currently looking for partners to help with an idea I have for such a product. I have a concept for a sort of sci-fi fantasy, tabletop roleplaying/trading card game, but no idea how to go about making it a reality. If anyone is interested, please message me and we can discuss the details. If successful, I will be sure to share any due credit and profits with said contributors. |

One day, it changed.
I met a woman just as broken as me. Neither of us wanted any kind of a relationship. She had been hurt more than she could count - and I felt no one could love me because that is how my family treated me.
That was forty years ago.
Love does happen—even for broken people.
