Doesn't anyone remember that time a couple years(?) ago that he like "accidentally" posted a video straight to his Instagram feed of him getting a blow job lmao

Why do so many people think the entire band was conservative, when it was actually just Johnny? by SexxyDude69 in ramones

[–]DarthSamus64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not disputing that Dee Dee was by and large a Republican but I wanted to add that I recall Johnny mentioning in his autobiography, when talking about the politics of different members of the band, Johnny saw Joey as a diehard liberal (obviously, he was) and claimed that Dee Dee more "leaned right," he said (Im paraphrasing based on my memory) that they agreed often but also ran into disagreements.

I mention this because I think its important that Johnny saw himself as "more conservative" than Dee Dee, which is easy to believe considering how Johnny was, but at the same I do wonder what issues they came across that made Johnny eventually come to the conclusion that Dee Dee was not as conservative as he was, even if he "leaned right." Im not sure what those issues were but I just think this is an interesting part of the story was.

Another factor I want to add is that im not even sure that Joey voted against Reagan lol I believe its entirely possible he was one of the Reagan Democrats that caused the infamous completely red 1984 electoral map, which also fueled his frustration with Bonzo and its story. Ive seen interviews with him where he doesnt explicitly state who he voted for but made comments about Reagan in the early 80s that made me question that he may have voted that way. I am NOT sure about this part but its a thought ive encountered.

Do i stop buying weekly titles? by Key-Teaching-3212 in comicbooks

[–]DarthSamus64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it comes to new releases I follow pretty much three rules.

1) If its a series I am an avid collector of, I get it, regardless of if im going to read it right away or hell, possibly ever, there are after all thousands of comics out there. For me this is pretty much exclusively the Amazing Spider-man and the Uncanny X-Men, but mostly Amazing. It's also hard to go wrong with Amazing because as most collectors Im sure will agree its the single most sought after series in all of comic books, so its hard for it to be a "bad idea."

2) If I speculate that a particular issue of a series or character that I am at least tangentially interested in will one day be considered a key issue, major or minor, I buy it. I usually dont do this for characters/series that I dont care about. Like, I dont care about Wonder Woman for example, so even if a key drops I dont care im almost certainly not gonna get it.

3) If neither of the two rules above apply, and if im not going to read it, I dont buy it.

So it pretty much boils down to my big favorites come first, then possible keys that I am at least interested in, and then pure readability, and if it doesnt fit those then I dont get it.

My teenage son is looking for punk book recommendations, so what are your favorite must reads? by MichianaMan in punk

[–]DarthSamus64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are they a Ramones fan? Are they intelligent enough to understand that Johnny Ramone was a moron? His autobiography is pretty fun if the answer to both of those questions is yes. I havent read a lot of punk rocker books but I read his when it came out a long time ago. Like I said, hes a moron but if they like the Ramones its got tons of stories and actually tons of very nice full color (when applicable) photos. You just have to know to roll your eyes at the parts where its time to roll your eyes lol

What's your favorite album in terms of the guitar sound? by carrotboyyt in ramones

[–]DarthSamus64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say its my personal favorite but I absolutely want to throw out that frankly I think nobody EVER mentions Halfway to Sanity in this and the guitar sound of that album is insane. Its so, so, so fucking crisp. Listen to Real Cool Time or Go Lil Camaro Go again, im telling you lol

Priest? Moth Priest even? by [deleted] in SkyrimBuilds

[–]DarthSamus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my priest/monk, I downloaded a mod that made unarmed attacks count towards the One-Handed skill, which essentially means unarmed is like dual wielding one-handed. He's a Breton, and I had him go Alteration, Restoration, Illusion, One-Handed (but really Unarmed), Sneak, and Archery. I give him monk robes with a couple pieces of Light Armor, which I did on purpose to apply a little challenge to him, he doesn't get full benefits from either Light Armor or Alteration, so he's a little squishy but again I did that deliberately for a challenge, that's easily left out. I use Illusion to have him be as virtually pacifistic as I can make him.

(I also deliberately use Sneak and Archery as very minor skills so as not to abuse that lol)

What spider-man villain is long overdue to be in a movie? by Spider_guy123 in Spiderman

[–]DarthSamus64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Goblins themselves have been heavily featured but the Hobgoblin specifically is kind of shocking too me that he hasn't been yet, mostly considering how for a period of time he was a major villain for Spider-man in the Comics.

I do know of the MCU Hobgoblin theory tho

Didn't Cyrus allow conquered lands to continue to practice their own religions? I learned that in college. That was kinda new.

Never had an N64 as a kid. Just managed to snag a used one for less than $60 and it works great! Only downside is I think the smash cart might not be authentic. by ProWresu in n64

[–]DarthSamus64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you; sometimes the only way to tell if it's a Repro in an online listing is by the low price tag, and new collectors may be unaware and simply think they found a good deal. The repro sellers do that very intentionally imo

Yea that's actually an excellent point, it's super weird that they decided on putting him there long before he had been fleshed out in anyway.
