Why do people find it so hard to believe when I tell them I don't drink? Yep I get this a lot too. John Mulaney has a good bit on how people pretty much forget any kind of non-alcoholic drink when at a party or whatever. |

That is an awesome find! 😁
I love the dramatic writing for the "hidden gusset" - like it's a super secret move only accessible in this attire.

LP LP F LK HP - Satsui no walker texas ranger I think that command is what initially unleashed all the Chuck Norris jokes 😁 The dark power of abundant chest hair and seemingly impossibly tight wranglers is channeled through cowboy boots to deliver a soul shattering blow to unprepared opponents thinking they were only going to see a bad 80’s action movie. So the question that follows is: Can Chuck Norris design a pair of pants so tight that even he could not wear them? 🤔 |

Complicated answer to that question. The answer is yes, pants too tight for even Chuck to wear are possible, but by sheer will and chucktermination, and by channeling his inner Braddock, all trouser limitations go missing in action, and thus arises Norochi CHUCK! OSU!  |

"Overcomes adversity of trouser limitations" would look awesome on a motivational poster...or resume 😁

IGN has a top 100 games of all time article again, some interesting picks and a fun list to revisit some great games from the past few decades! My favourite part of these lists is how personally people take the picks and how mad they are that game x didn’t make the cut, along with the subsequent huge, multi message arguments for or against the slighted title. It’s also fun reading peoples complaints about the site and how easily bought their high scores are.
How dare IGN writers have opinions or feel it necessary to write articles about games on a game site or get paid to at their mortgages! 🙂

Every time someone's favorite game isn't #1, a piece of their soul gets absorbed 😁
It's like the "quickening" between video game fans. There can only be one!
People also can't seem to separate how they experience a game from how others do or how one can experience a game differently depending on when they play it. Sometimes people can play a game at like exactly the right time in their lives for it whereas others may not get it at that "best" time and not enjoy it as much. I think that Red Dead 2 is a better game than Red Dead 1 in a lot of ways but Red Dead 1 came out exactly when I would have enjoyed it the most. I'm not having the same experience with Red Dead 2 as I did with Red Dead 1 (mostly due to not being able to put the time in) even though there are parts of Red Dead 2 I enjoy a lot more. So like what is the better game? I don't know. I feel like I can't even answer that. I just know I personally had a more fun time with Red Dead 1 due to where I was in my life. So even though there are parts of the sequel that I thought were better, Red Dead 1 is almost definitely going to be higher up on my own personal "Favorites of all time" list than Red Dead 2. That kind of nuance is often lost with discussion of these lists.
A similar dynamic exists for FPR vs. FPW. FPW is a better game in almost every way but FPR came out when I was at like the height of my Fire Pro and e-fed participation so I feel like I had a lot more fun the first two years with FPR than I did the first two years of FPW. That being said, there would never be a time when I'd choose the FPR game itself over FPW if I had the option to play either. (Giving me FPW in 2005 would have meant I'd never see the sun again). I prefer the FPW game as it is in almost every way but I'd put the FPR experience much higher. Granted, FPW is a much clearer "objective" upgrade to FPR than Red Dead 2 is to Red Dead 1. But if we're talking "favorite games" of all time, I could never separate experience and mindset I had playing and enjoying the game from the game. I'd say my time with FPR and Red Dead 1 affected me much more positively and deeply than FPW and Red Dead 2 due to various factors.

People really don't get subjectivity anymore. What they like is the best thing and they must be validated because that thing is there life and anything negative about it tears down the core of their being.
Yeah timing is such a big part of how a game hits you. For the first like year I had a fpw I barely touched it and then all of a sudden there were so many things I was enjoying doing in it and often I could do it while doing something else which is great for how little time I have now.
Also there are so many games out now I would have loved 4 years ago but now I just can't even think about spending that kind of a time on a thing.

Oh yeah, for sure, timing is key. I had all the time in the world for Skyrim and RDR, less for the uncharted games, Last of us, Spider-Man and stuff like that, but man, now i’ve barely touched a controller for anything more than Netflix, a quick race in Forza, or a rocket league match. I started Witcher 3 in December, got distracted by something, a few months later started RDR2, then a huge but very good change happened in my life which left me laughing at how I once though I knew what having no time for this or that really meant!
Besides a lack of time, I find the complexity of games can put you off going back after a distraction takes you away for even a few weeks. Remembering controls, where you are in the game, all of that can make you just tap out!
So yeah, timing can certainly leave a game with a huge, glowing aura of nostalgic bliss when the responsibility/expectation planets are aligned, or it can just be another unpolished turd on a shelf collecting dust and mystifying you as to why everyone loves it so much. 💩
