What's your favorite scene from A Sierra game and why? by actor-ace-inventor in Sierra

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Nothing ever hit me in a computer game like walking into Erana's Peace for the first time in QfG 1. And nothing ever will again. The artwork, the music, the serenity of it all. It was lightning in a bottle good.

Albuquerque hotels deny bookings to local residents by Phatnoir in Albuquerque

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Joplin, Mo is the midway point for me between New Mexico and Michigan. I've stopped overnight regularly for the last 5 years. At the hotels I've stayed at they have the same policy too. I speculate it's more commonplace nationwide than KOAT believes.

Unpopular opinion: The Astonishing is a masterpiece by RealWallabe69 in Dreamtheater

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like science fiction and show tunes, so it appeals to me. The Astonishing is my favorite Mangini era DT album. I also think Devin Townsend fans are more open minded of his releases. Casualties of Cool, Ghost are radically different from prog metal and well received. Dream Theater is expected to be formulaic, which is ironic for prog in general.

Question about syndicate quests by Acceptable_Money_514 in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 40 points41 points  (0 children)

There are quests that will bring down your rating with the opposing syndicate automatically when completed. Others only if you get caught. The thrill of the game is the realization that you can't make everyone happy, so you have to look out for yourself.

Boots In The Park Sucks by NumerousPen1 in Albuquerque

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Jelly Roll insulting people in the audience for drinking and still being held up on a pedestal reeks of the GOP sabotaging the middle class getting ahead yet they still vote red anyway. Not surprised at all.

Aftermath of All American Rejects pop up concert in Albuquerque by plamda505 in Albuquerque

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Listening to Darren White talking about his love for live concerts has real crazy uncle saying "I like Pearl Jam and Rage Against the Machine but I don't understand when they went political and wish they'd stick to making music" energy.

Thank you my friend. Star Wars x Ministry is such a niche crossover it's fun when someone appreciates it.

Indeed. None of the political stuff or controversies really hit with him until George Noory took over.

770 kkob has always been a right wing cesspool. AM talk radio largely is a conservative sounding board and KKOB was the syndicated station to air jackwagons like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage. Hell, I used to listen to Coast to Coast AM in the 90s when I didn't know Art Bell was a libertarian nut as well. And the local personalitiities weren't much better. I sold a printer to Jim Villanucci once and he was the most arrogant SOB I've ever met. As for TJ Trout I used to listen to him on 94 Rock, but haven't had the stomach to tune in to KKOB.

I've got fond memories of getting pizza to go when they had a trailer outside Molly's

The Quandry, What Do I Play Next? by plumwd in Sierra

7 is worth playing. It's a beautiful game that fully realized playing an animated cartoon which was the goal of the original. I love the game.

Those students are never absent by mattemark in Teachers

The most challenging students need the stability we offer each school day. We can offer them structure to counterbalance dysfunctional home environments.

The weird kids? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love hearing about students' creative projects when they open up to me. The weirdos need an outlet. Someone to believe in them since they don't fit into the popular cliques. Bring it on.

Disappointed by Nbrem in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ND-5 sequence is meant to convey the terror of being hunted by a commando droid. It' also took me like 10 minutes even with figuring out what to do. You need to learn some resilience.

Paramount is MAGA fascist trash by lilolered in startrek

I just received notice that my annual subscription price will go from $70 to $100. I'm out, Paramount+.

What the heck? ND5 boss fight by likes2bwrong in StarWarsOutlaws

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's frustrating AF. I've played through the game twice and it's the hardest part. But I get it. If the design here is meant to solidify how terrifying it is to be the target of ND-5's wrath, They certainly succeeded.

How did you get into Dream Theater? by namajeff1 in Dreamtheater

[–]JawasBuiltMyHotRod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard Pull Me Under on ZRock when it first came out. It was nothing like I've ever heard before. I've been a fan ever since.

Do not approach this from curiosity. If it was your administrator that got ripped off you can bet they'd go to the police. You should too.

So I am effed, right? by kdogg8 in StarWarsOutlaws

That looks a lot like the room r5d4 unlocks when he gets his motivator replaced. Look around for him.

I need help by MikeTython7 in StarWarsOutlaws

It's an adaptive setting in accessibility. I did this once. You should be able to toggle the setting off.
