@RedderRugfish - Hmm, that is interesting. It sure doesn’t seem like a battery issue. I have the THQ wrestling games that glitch when you use a created wrestler in career mode. It’s been a while since I initiated it, but I believe that wipes save data all the way to the file I was using on the save card, so I always keep a master file. I’ve never had a problem re loading it though. As much as I love the 64, I will say that I’ve probably had more save trouble with it than any other Nintendo console.
I kinda forgot I’ve previously done some surface level reading about the Dex Drive and decided it wasn’t worth the limited use I’d have for it. Your reply reminded me of that. It’s cool to have the external capabilities at least if you have a lot of games and saves.
@HobbitGamer USSR used states, and that was a more accurate use of states, as they were each "sovereign" states.....except they were generally forcibly held states.
I've never heard of Russia itself using states. With that much land it would make sense, but I haven't heard of that if so.
China on the other hand gets into so many titles for a given spot of land I don't know what you'd even call it. Their Provinces would be close to a state, but then there's like 3 levels of sub-jurisdiction below that. Exactly what you'd expect from a behemoth bureaucracy though.
....Well, the last few days were a living nightmare for me, I wasn't that active on the site in general. Had to take a bunch of random stomach medicine to clean myself out, most of it caused me to throw up. But it's FINALLY OVER WITH! I can have some normal food again! xD
...anyways I'm back, I'll be lurking and stuff as usual .>_>

Are the stomach spray conversations over?
I really had to suppress some retching while reading that, and if some stranger did that to me, I'd have his head, once we got out of the ride. His next ride would be to the hospital. I'd only make exceptions for friends or family. Or for kids. Adults, not so much. They should know better.
Fortunately, I'd never find myself in such a situation, because other than the odd wild water ride, and things like the mine cart ride in Disney, which doesn't make loopings and corkscrews, you'll never find me in any roller-coaster. So, also quite fortunate, that I'll never have to show that side of myself.
As for the typical dad things discussion: I could add SO many instances to that, it isn't even funny anymore. Like the other examples, losing keys and glasses are standard fare, and a specific thing that my dad always needs help with, is the "mysteriously" disappearing weather widget, and some other apps, from the home page of his smart phone.
Something to keep in mind here, is that he lives alone, isn't exactly tech-savvy, and has hands the size of coal shovels.
I visit him every other week, or every week, depending on whether or not he's home or in his summer residence (small community garden house, which is a lot closer to my house than his actual house), and then I get to fix things for him again, because he has literally no idea how it always happens, and of course, he's absolutely sure that he didn't do anything wrong...
I tried discussing that with him once, but talking about his own ineptitude with devices like these, can only carry on for so long, before it starts to annoy and eventually anger him, so nowadays, I don't even bother anymore, especially since it doesn't even take a minute to fix things again, so I just do it anyway. And knowing that, regardless of his denial, he actually DOES know who's the real culprit here, is enough for me.
@NEStalgia Aren't states just basically the same thing as provinces or regions? In the Netherlands and Belgium they have provinces, in France provinces and regions, in England they have regions, and in Germany, they actually also have states, and I could name plenty of other examples from around the world, but all of them are more or less the same, so I'd assume the same goes for your side of the pond. States = regions = provinces. Well, by and large anyway.
And like in all other countries, the individual regions/states/provinces, obviously are autonomous to a certain extent, much like all the individual municipalities, cities and towns within those regions/states/provinces are, but in the end, all of them obviously fall under one, national government.
Besides, what would the use of a central government even be, if all of the separate regions/states/provinces would just be able to have some kind of complete autonomy, that may or may not go against that central government? That's what voting and elections are for. Don't agree with the government? Start voting and see to it that the representative that YOU want to see in the government is selected.
If each of the individual regions/states/provinces would always be completely sovereign, then entire countries would fall into chaos, because no law would ever be passed, and it's more than likely that hardly any of these states/regions/provinces would ever come to any agreement with the others, concerning things for the good of the entire country/nation.
P.S.
Just my view on things, not looking for another exchange of text walls. Luckily, politics aren't allowed on here, so this is as far as I'll go, concerning this topic. Just wanted to add my two cents.
@ThanosReXXX Also interesting about Germany using "state." I wonder when they started and when the whole world decided to butcher the meanings of words.
State/country/nation are synonyms. They all mean the same thing. A state is not a political district. It's an autonomous sovereign entity. Germany should not have states. Germany is a state. It is not the same thing as a province, which is a political subdistrict.
The US very specifically used that term (and apparently so did Mexico, though I don't know a thing about the historical nature of states in Mexico), and the reason is in the name "The United States". And "The Union." I.E. the US structure (originally) was a structure of autonomous states - nations..I.E. New York and Virginia were two independent sovereign entities. All were members of the Union and agreed to share common functions/policy/etc. The US was not supposed to be a "state", it was supposed to be a union of states with common representation. Thanks to the results of the Civil War, then folding into the events of WWI, it somehow became accepted that states were little more than political districts of a single nation. It's all a butchery of both the meanings of words, and the written law of the constitution. The EU model more properly imitates the original design of the US. Individual states as members of a union, with a common set of defense, economy/trade/policy etc. I mean it's not a coincidence the EU was more or less designed based on the US (original) design, which obviously was itself a European design. Though the EU model is tailored for the distinct cultures of the European states and thus doesn't provide a common foreign representation, allowing each state it's own foreign emissaries, and so on. We just completely obliterated the design around the turn of the last century and turned it into a single actual state with a bunch of political sub-districts we confusingly call states. Heck, you're from a state that identifies as a republic (then again so does North Korea ) ....didn't you get the memo? CA and Texas are probably the only two states that proudly hold onto the idea of sovereign statehood.
Common reassignment of the meanings of words drives me up a wall. Especially when it conveniently repackages centuries of history and intended purposes of things into a soundbyte to dispose of.
@bimmy-Lee finally beat the game. Let me tell you. That took alot of out of me.
Side note for any of you guys..
I'm still not sure how multiplayer for wolf Youngblood works. I bought the game. Can someone download the trial version and play the entire game with me? If so, Second part, does anyone want to download the trial version and play the game with me?
@NEStalgia Meh, it is the same. At least structure-wise. And remember: the US is still pretty young, compared to pretty much most of the world, so the evolution of states and their interactivity (or lack there of) has hardly stepped out of infancy.
Take the Netherlands for example: originally 12 provinces, culled down to 7, 7 provinces, now divided up into 12, and all of them completely autonomous during most of the middle-ages. Only in times of war, calamities and so on, did they work closely together, and decided upon things for the good of the nation as a whole, but other than that, pretty much the same as your idea of states. Only since the late 1700's - mid-1800's did it turn into a Dutch State as a whole. Before that, it was the covenant and/or the Union of the Seven Provinces.
The Frysians are still sovereign, by the way: they have some kind of special status, because of their separate language and so on, which is not a dialect, as in other regions of the country.
@NintendoByNature Nice. Did you feel a little mentally worn out and empty once that was over? I do when I beat a game. As for Youngblood, that's exactly how it works. (remember the seed version of Starcraft? it's like that, but the whole game) I'll have to download the "Buddy" version now, I suppose. Never played a Wolf since 3D, but I'm willing to give it a go with ya.
@Joeynator3000 Colonoscopy. That's the word you were looking for you'll never look for again.
