Because they're trying to brainwash people into thinking stupid shet.

Fat is good.

I told this one girl off so badly today. Stupid Generation Z

I'm 26.

Buddy's right. The 8-bit era, particularly the NES days, were when true gamers were born and pixels transformed pimply geeks into men. Games nowadays don't turn you into men. When I acquired my PS4 a few months back, it came with Uncharted 4, and the game is basically holding my hand telling me what to do and if I fvck up and miss a jump, I can just start over from the checkpoint. My NES: Classic Edition isn't even vintage NES. I had an NES passed down to me as a kid from one of my aunts who grew up with it, and I know you're not supposed to be able to save at suspend points and reload your game from there during boss battles on the original NES. Kids need to stop listening to Drake, listen to some gangsta rap, stop f***ing being obsequious, white knights (if a girl is b-tchy, you get right back at her and put her in her damn place), and basically just learn what it is to be a man, because I see a lot of scared cowards in today's generation of 18-25 year olds!!!

That's what I'm saying. You're not overworked and you'll have enough to get by. No need for this full-time BS. All of those employers who buy into that hierarchy are lame brain sheep.

If you can just get by and pay the bills at bare minimum, it's the best way to be. I don't get sucked into all that status BS and whatnot because it's not important. I'd rather work some BS part-time gig for 15-20 hours that pays the bills and gives me a ton of free time than have some BS career-track job just to try to impress. Impress whom, baby? Nobody really cares, it's about just meeting your needs to live comfortably and happily. I used to want a serious career-track job, but seeing how employers are pussies and act like the fake scrub judges on reality TV shows, I say fuck 'em. If you win the lotto or some kind of crazy, inordinate amount of $$$ somehow, you can go back to them and curse them out and act big and bad if ya want, and it won't matter (except for their shattered egos lol)

I feel that references aren't as important nowadays as they used to be because of people quitting all the time and former employers giving skewed accounts of an employee's actual work habits/attitude. They were probably relied on more thirty+ years ago than they are today. The employer can just forego them and assume the risk anyway, and that's what they really should do.

Haha that references thing is tough. There was an SAT job with a well-known company for which I was extremely qualified for (excellent scores on the teacher's exam for the job), but because they couldn't get in contact with my references they told me that I needed to provide them with new ones, but I didn't have anybody else to give them, so they ultimately didn't hire me, and I was like, "Ah whatever. That's f'ing dumb to be honest."

I need to teach them how to grab the stick and put it in drive. They're young and inexperienced right now.

It's for a full-time driving instructor position. I have to take my instructor test tomorrow (road test and then I have to explain the car to the person administering the test and have him drive while I monitor any mistakes being made). I'm really drunk right now and need to squeeze in some sleep before 8am.

90, 95, 100, 105, 110 Can't be stopped. Won't be stopped. Gran Turismo Style. Life is good.

Just beat it. Ah what a game. Honestly, I did cheat once because I forgot how in the seventh dungeon you have to feed the guard a piece of meat that you buy from a shop in order to progress. Seriously how the F would anybody know to do that? I know he says, "Grumble... Grumble.." to signify that he's hungry, but that's not a normal American way to do it, also that meat looks like expensive health to most people playing an RPG. You really must have needed Nintendo Power to get this ish done back then because I don't see how the hell you're gonna find out some of these things on your own.

Anybody else down?

That the NES is truly the best video game system ever. Lots of high quality games and they were made to be challenging instead of holding your hand like a lot of modern games tend to do.

Sadly true. I remember when I was a stud and getting all the girls to fall for me before I came to the ASMB, and then I just ended up being a social pariah thereafter.

Oh shet...

I uncovered about 5-10 rupee ones, 4-5 potion/medicine ones, and probably close to 10 shops. I just spent four hours going through every screen bombing walls that looked like they'd be designed to hold secret places. This game must have driven people crazy back in the day.

Welcome to the club, Athena. Grab a drink, a controller, and hang for a few. This is the figure things out later house.

Wow I'm a fool. I was angrily going through the rock puzzle thinking it was like the Lost Woods and I kept going up and I found Level 5. No wonder. Just beat the level and got the flute thing. Now I remember what to do with it, I think I have to play it at that lake without the fairy. Wow... I spent four hours blowing things up and buying bombs over and over and it was because I didn't complete the fifth dungeon with the flute in it. K, I think I'll be fine going forward. I must have honestly uncovered all of the secret entrances on the map. I'm Zelda'd out because of that mess.

I didn't get the Spectacle Rock hint (9th Dungeon, think it's the final one), maybe that comes in the later dungeons, but I found Dungeon 9 by spending an hour running through the map and randomly bombing rocks that seemed like they could have secret entrances. I'm still having trouble finding the entrances to Dungeons 7 and 8, but I'm not going to cheat. I know the fairy clue is a key to one of those, and I think it's at the lake that's missing a fairy, next to the one that has a fairy, but I went there and bombed the heck out of it and got nothing.

I hate when you get to the part where you have to find the final few dungeons. I've spent two hours looking for them, and I refuse to cheat. I beat this game long ago, but I used a Gamefaqs guide at this part. I can't remember exactly what needs to be done. Otherwise, I don't think it's that hard of a game.

You've done it. Here you are. It took a lot of effort and swagga, but you got that cute brunette to meet up with you. You beat out fifteen other guys for her time because they were a bunch of duds, but you were a beast, the real deal, the H-bomb dawg. So here you are. You sit down, and already she's digging your charm, but then something happens. She starts to probe you and look for all kinds of problems. She doesn't consider this date to be the prelude to a night together or even more dates unless you're straight up perfect. You can do two things at this point: 1) Play along and wait for her to notice the first fatal flaw, 2) Call her out on the spot. We won't do 2 because we'll give it some time, but if you do choose to follow path #2, you're just gonna bluntly say, "Listen here, honey, don't f with me. I expended so much effort to get you on this date while you just logged into the OKC app and looked pretty and you're NOT gonna ruin it with your nitpicky BS before the ship leaves the harbor!" (slams fist on the table drawing the attention of everybody else in the restaurant and causing your fickle date to gulp because she's been figured out) Path #1 well you wait for that moment when she's nitpicking and already thinking about logging back onto OkCupid and you do something similar except this time you say, "I know what's going on here. Don't even think about logging back into OKC after this date and trying to hook up with somebody else. I'm your boyfriend. Right here! Right NOW! And we are going to enjoy this dinner date while it lasts!" (Force a smile here) Got it? Go get it, alpha dog!!

You've gotta learn what the game's all about. Right now you're just throwing the darts with a blindfold on.
