Hey @ogo79 , you still doing that livestream for Games Done Slow where you’re playing all the Genesis Sonic games without ever running?

@HobbitGamer @Morpheel I'd be interested in trying it co-op. I haven't had anyone to play on Switch with. Do you have discord so we could more easily chat and set up a time?

I don't have discord but I'd certainly love to play online with you guys

@ThanosReXXX Honestly, I think I would've preferred some of the broadcasting hours in parts of Europe (Other than the late ones you mentioned, though I would've skipped EA anyway). That way the events wouldn't have been interrupted by work. XD My schedule was quite interesting last week, but I managed to fit most of the presentations in that I wanted.

It's to the point where I'm now listening to/rewatching some of my favorite Treehouse segments at work. I'm almost dying for more Astral Chain and Luigi's Mansion footage now. XD

@Tyranexx Well, in your case, I don't think watching live presentations at 2 or 3am would be very helpful, considering you'd probably have to do another 9 to 5 that same day...

I'd never watch them at work, though. Want to enjoy all of it in the comfort of my own home, so in that case,
I would just watch all of them later. Wouldn't want to be caught jumping up and cheering for some cool announcements, only to be laughed at by my co-workers...

@Morpheel It's parade-like. It's a festival. More importantly it has a balloon.

@Tyranexx One can always count on family-friendly Disney to have entire sections tripping on acid.

OTOH this is precisely why the film remakes are a slap in the face to the classics.

@NEStalgia - Can you imagine a live action Pinocchio? How could it not be a horror movie? Especially when a living puppet and a bunch of wayward youth slowly morph into donkeys as they drink and smoke on Pleasure Island. That sounds like a place Chucky would spend all his down time when not terrorizing Andy.

@NEStalgia "More importantly it has a balloon"

So do all these youths nowadays, who are addicted to nitrous oxide....

Although, come to think of it, that's exactly in line with Disney's acid-filled pink elephant trips, so who am I to judge?

@bimmy-lee That sounds basically like a documentary of Woodstock.

@ThanosReXXX I thought the whole N2O abuse thing was so last decade? I always get squeamish I'm going to get raided someday as I actually do purchase N20 chargers for food use.... It probably looks suspicious but it's legitimately for creams, mouses, and geletainized dessert foams. Plus the things sound like ammo crates in shipping...

@NEStalgia I’ve seen a few folks on Live Pd get busted with the small canisters of NO2.

Imagine a real life Fantasia. Pure nightmare fuel.

@HobbitGamer I think CANISTERS are regulated. The food ones are the little capsule sized thingies. Anything larger is medical use only. The food ones are certainly not illegal, you just feel like you're going to get picked up as a criminal when buying them in quantity (it's way cheaper to buy by commercial packs.) Of course any kids spending the food-charger prices on their nitrous highs would probably be better of buying LSD....it's got to be cheaper. The markup on those things is outrageous.

@NEStalgia Well, I don't know about the actual situation in the States, but over here, it's now been promoted to party drug #1. In some public areas, such as city squares and parks, you can often find an empty capsule or two lying around.

I think the popularity has risen over here, due to all those funny home videos featuring American kids coming back from their visit to the dentist, saying and doing all kinds of weird stuff, and of course, that looks like "a lot of fun", so Dutch kids have to try it as well...

Over here, most dentist don't use gas for patients: they just stick a needle in your gums, to paralyze you locally...

@NEStalgia Yeah, i meant the little cylinders. Whippits is what it's called I think.

@ThanosReXXX I typically work 8-5, though I get an hour lunch and can move some of that time around. As long as I'm getting in at least 40 hours, my new job is pretty flexible. For example, I could take a half hour lunch and get off at 4:30 if I wanted, or work extra one day and leave a bit early on Fridays (which I typically do).

My coworkers to my knowledge are okay with it. A lot of us normally headphone up during the day, and I was pretty open about why I was taking an early lunch a week ago. I even put up a sticky note asking not to be disturbed during my lunch hour unless there was a huge software emergency or the building was burning down or something. XD

It also helps that my manager is into gaming as well. As long as we get our work done, nobody minds if we're listening to and/or watching music or video footage online so long as it's not anything illegal.

@NEStalgia Trippy as they are, I find segments like that pretty awesome from an animation perspective. I never really understood the implications of what led to that scene as a kid; I didn't realize Dumbo and Timothy were drunk, I just thought they were tired and acting goofy or something. I had a pretty innocent mind as a kid.... You could say I was a bit sheltered until my teenage years. Heck, I'm still learning new stuff on occasion.

@Tyranexx Well, sounds to me like you have a pretty mellow work place. Back when I was still working for someone else, most of the internet was pretty restricted, so no weird stuff, obviously, but also no games, music videos or anything like that. I could only access the odd IT-hobby and news sites.

This wasn't the case at all the various jobs I've done in the past, but purely looking at the numbers, it was how it worked in most of these places. Of course, once the smart phone era came, there wasn't really any need anymore for me to use company internet...
