@ThanosReXXX no i figured you were implying she's attractive still, I was just doubling down on that 😉. I'm with you, latex suit Britney was the bees knees. As was stewardess Britney from toxic was just as good.

Edit: how could I forget "I'm a slave 4 u"?!?!?!

@Anti-Matter - What Thanos said. It’s a double entendre. Brittney doesn’t want you to hold it against her that she’s coming on so strong, and she also wants you to hold your body against her (because it feels like like paradise).

@ThanosReXXX - Time is money. Imaginary units of value. We measure our mortality with it. We use it to coordinate and bring order to our lives. We measure the sun in the sky with it, but Earth doesn’t spin once in 24 hours, it spins and spins. It’s just a human contrivance as an attempt to bring order to the chaos of the natural world. A squirrel gathers nuts by instinct and through sensing changes it atmospheric pressure. The wind got cold, not because it’s now fall. Our dependence on a false measurement takes us further away from our natural selves. I track time all throughout the day because it brings me peace, but not because I actually believe in it.

@Tyranexx - I know the smell well. Rank! You guys do it right. Assault all the senses.

@Ninfan - WHAT? STOP YELLING!

@ThanosReXXX Ah okay thanks. Yeah that comment is the one where I best expressed my frustration with the negativity surrounding the game.

@HobbitGamer - You never know when that bmx bike ride might take them a little too far from home and into unfamiliar territory. That’s when Junior has their back. Learn to read maps kids. It like algebra, you’ll never use it, but learn it anyway.

@NintendoByNature Yeah, the stewardess bit was nice, but I kinda meant that other suit...

@bimmy-lee Well my friend, isn't that just what I said? Our flawed understanding of whatever the passing of moments is, and our desperate need to bag and tag it, so we can safely tuck it away without ever having to worry about it haunting us again. Boxes and categories are comforting. In that respect, we're actually ALL nerds...

@Heavyarms55 You're very welcome. It was definitely a "yeah, what he said" moment for me. Kinda saved me from having to do my own, text wall version of a rant...

@HobbitGamer Is that an anti-lisp that you're sporting, or something?

@ThanosReXXX - Haha, yes, I guess we all are in that respect. And I suppose that is what you said. Whether we have a minute, a day, or decades left, I just appreciate filling a slice of it with good conversation with good friends. Even if those friends are folk I’ve never met.

@bimmy-lee Yeah I think you got the same idea as me about the concept of time, in that it can only be understood existentially. If we were all immortal and didn’t die, time wouldn’t be a concern. That’s why we are “in a rush” and “free time” is so valuable.

I also remember reading about cultures which saw time as a cyclical process (seasons pass and return, decay and birth) instead of historical linear one, so time is largely a cultural concept as well.

Deep stuff there. 🤯

@bimmy-lee We definitely do try to assault all the senses. We have plenty of visuals, noises, smells, touch in some areas (strictly props and other effects; guests can't intentionally touch us, nor can we touch them), and even taste if someone is really feeling adventurous.

The two actresses that were in that kitchen area this evening claimed that they had a couple of guys actually try to TASTE the secret sauce.

@bimmy-lee Much appreciated. (tips imaginary hat)

@NintendoByNature Truer words have never been spoken...

@NotTelevision Linear or cyclical, whichever way you look at it, what we have labeled "time" is still very much and undeniably a passing of successive moments. If what we call time would not exist, then we would not age, seasons would not change and we would be able to freely travel from here to our past and our future, which is obviously not the case, so we seem to be "trapped" on some kind of temporal plane that only ever moves in one direction from our own, personal point of view.

And the GPS and travel log system built into our brains keeps track of it all, and that's the only way we'll ever be able to "travel back": in our minds. Provided of course that nothing happens to us, which might influence or erase these memories altogether...

@Tyranexx A couple of guys trying out the (rotten?) cat fish horror soup sounds an awful lot like a frat boy's bet to me. One of those where thinking about stuff before you do it is often pushed to the side...

@Tyranexx - Oh no! That nearly makes me sick. Why would anyone smell that and then want it anywhere near them? And then decide to eat/drink some? Sickos. Thanos is probably right, teenage dare or college guy bet. Seems like they could come down with a case of bubonic plague from ingesting that stuff.

@NotTelevision - I love the term “free time”! It makes no sense at all, and yet we all use it and know exactly what it means. I use it all the time. I agree that the importance of time and how we fill it is a cultural issue. I’m from pure blue collar stock. My grandpa clawed his way up from poverty to middle class. Time was money to him. Period. He was either making money or at church giving it away. He tried to pound that philosophy into generations of his family, but it didn’t quite stick with me, though I see the value in a hard day’s work.

A circle is my favorite shape. While I rarely see it in the natural world, it’s always seemed like the shape of what drives it. Really interesting that other people also view time that way, I’ll look it up. I’ve always seen it that way as opposed to a straight line. When a family member in his mid 20s passed away, everyone was sad because they thought he was too young to die. That he had more time left, but I didn’t see it that way. He had the time he had. The circle closed, became complete, and then he had to go. I will now sing Circle of Life...

@bimmy-lee Yeah there you go. Last time I heard that song it was on the radio in the car, and everyone started singing in an exaggerated Eddie Vedder style “yarl”. Not sure what provoked it, but now I keep hearing the song in my head that way. 😆

Was it Tokyo Mirage Sessions....? That prompted talk about Britney? So, I really shouldn't get that game, then? I never played it before & don't have any Wii to get it for

@NotTelevision - Haha, wow that’s cracking me up. “Oh it’s the ciiiirrr-cole, oh yeah the ciiirrr-cole of liiiifffeee, yeah, oh y-y-y-y-yeah (blistering Stone Gossard guitar solo circa Ten)!!!”

@BruceCM - I think it was TMS#FE! It’s amazing the leaps we make around here. It was a WiiU game, and there are English language uncensored versions floating around the web. I haven’t played it either, but it’s supposed to be a really good game with a good soundtrack. Based on the gaming interests you’ve shared, it might be something you’d enjoy.

I used to be heard this DDR 3rd Mix song until i realized it was a porn song when i grew up. 😳

But the song is still good to hear despite of the controversial lyrics. 😆

Speaking of surprising song meanings, Butcher Pete (featured in Fallout 3 and 4) is not about a gentleman working at a meat market.
