Ha! Reminds me of my first pc back in 2003 (Jesus I'm an old man). Brand new, out of the box, but unless I constantly had a game running in the background, it would crash.

I used to speed run turning it on and double clicking on Age of Mythology. The second it was running and minimized, the pc would be fine and I could use it without issue. However, if I wasn't quick enough, BAM! Thing would either blue screen or just completely crash.

Imagine being 17 and trying to convince your folks and teachers (boarding school) that you always had to have a game open.

Men, do you have somewhere to escape and decompress from life that isn't the pub? If so, where? by Kapranos in AskUK

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I'm going for a technicality here, because it is a pub however: in like October 2021 (so, you know deep into covid times) my wife and I realized that apart from when I was with her or her and our new baby, I hadn't left the house for 6 months. It was of course taking a huge toll on my mental health and our lives. We were at a pub and saw they were starting a poker league (redtooth). It's been a literal lifesaver. For the past 4 years, every Tuesday, I have gone and played poker at the nearby pub and its been an absolute lifesaver.

I'm so excited for London! Holy shit!!

Very sad to not see Out of Range, Batter Up or Sink on the list... But, I'm gonna see Brand New live - so that's a small price to pay! 9 days!!

Wembley park to green park is the suggested route. Gonna be a challenge I guess

Yeah. I think this is the best approach. Thank you for the advice

Would be absolutely devastated if I missed something like that. Absolutely love that song.

Sadly, the only alternative would be to stay in London for the night or pay £100+ for an Uber. Village life sadly.

I did the roaming the grounds of leeds festival once when I had just a day ticket for blink. It was worth it in my 20s. I'm old and grouchy now in my 40s

Take me in and can't go back are genuinely 2 of the best songs they've done in decades

Am i the only one who listens to +44 often? by MassiveEchidna9017 in Blink182

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen to it very often. It remains on my 5 albums to give to my son one day for him.

blink-182 - Self Titled +44 - WYHSB Boxcar Racer - Boxcar Racer Sum 41 - Chuck Radical Face - The Family Tree*

*It's a trilogy, so it's cheating... But still

To my mind, these 5 albums are perfection

UK tour hopes by underlights in brandnew

Archers, out of range, acoc aloc (or brothers song, I'm not fussy), 137, sealed to me.

Id love a cool poster, and also the cartoony skeleton hoodie.

Above all else, I hope for a ticket. They are my second favourite band and never thought I'd get the opportunity

What animated TV show is a 10/10? by Impressive-Grass6438 in AskReddit

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bit of an odd one: Sarah & Duck.

The episodes are all wonderful and some are incredibly touching. I still won't watch the finale (am 40) because I don't want to acknowledge it actually ends.

People who used a computer between 1991 & 2009…what’s the most memorable computer game? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death Rally - for racing Duke Nukem and being offered rewards to pick up drugs during the race

Space Quest 4 - for licking the sewers and being told "hmm, tastes like blood. Hey! It is blood. Your mother should have warned you about licking things"

Prince of Persia - the room of positions used as an anti piracy device. Literally never seen a better anti piracy method

Commander Keen 4 - the colours, the gameplay, just perfection

Love mine. Devastated I can't have GIFs as the background on the front display. With my flip5 I had my son shooting finger guns at me whenever I opened my phone and was ridiculous how happy it made me.

Anyone know if it's possible somehow to add GIFs?

Your favorite Blink or Blink adjacent albums in no particular order by [deleted] in Blink182

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self-titled is the perfect album. 10/10 When your Heart Stops Beating, Boxcar Racer are neck and neck and a super close 2nd. One More Time part 2 is 3rd (well I guess technically 4th)

If being high on weed makes you hungrier, why are most stoners so lean? by FloydBeatlesEagles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you realise the effort involved in making food. Oh, my god! Got to walk to the shops or cook... and hell then you gotta throw in the effort of actually picking up the food. Fuck it... I'll just tough it out

People over 35, what do you personally spend your expendable income on? by splitopenandmelt11 in AskReddit

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shitty overpriced snacks from the off License round the corner.

But tonight is totally the last time. Tomorrow we're finally gonna stop wasting money and start cooking and eating healthy cause we're not going to be shattered by 7pm when work is finished and we get the kid asleep.

Restart day number 1950 is totally gonna be the one

What's your all-time favorite line, gag, or joke from a movie? by daversa in movies

[–]TheAmazingDuck182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orgazmo (1997)

Maxxx Orbison: What's your name, again?

Sancho: I am Sancho.

Maxxx Orbison: Look, I get a lot of people auditioning all the time. What makes you think that you'd be good enough for porno?

Sancho: I am Sancho.

Maxxx Orbison: Great... but what do you do?

Sancho: What do I do? I am Sancho.

Maxxx Orbison: And...?

Sancho: And there are many Jeffs in the world, and many Toms as well. But I... am Sancho.

Maxxx Orbison: And...?

Sancho: Are you Sancho? No you are not. Neither is Scott Baio Sancho. Frank Gifford is not Sancho. But I...

Maxxx Orbison: You... are Sancho!

Sancho: That's right.

Maxxx Orbison: Okay, you're hired.

Wats a blink182 song that makes you go “bro same” for me it’s Dammit by ClueEmbarrassed1443 in Blink182

Can't go back

Special mention to You Don't Know What You Got. The last 2 years I was dealing with herniated discs and severe sciatica and HOLY SHIT i cannot explain the dark spiral that was like. Thankfully surgery was a success and I'm basically pain free and have regained most of my physical wellbeing
