Man I love the Backstreet Boys. Always a delight when one of their songs plays on the radio.

My big sis, currently working far from home, is coming to visit with his hisband this saturday for Chrismas, due to my big bro's work scheudle she decided to visit this week rather than actual Chrismas, but since she gets to visite two days, is a good trade

That's a wonderful sister you have!

Thanks a lot

Still hoping to walk a mile by the end of the year. I used to average 10 a day.

WHAT!? Were you a career marathon runner or something!?

Me and my dad seldom went out for a walk but when we did, we often averaged 4km, which isn’t wild I know, but I miss going to those “walking zones” (they don’t exist where you live, they’re tiny asphalt streets (they’re sorta like parks… yed I’m doing parentheses within parentheses) where the sole purpose is to walk on them, maybe Jog, listen to music, sit, etc. if those sound a bit unorthodox, kuwait seldom has proper pedestrian zones (I used seldom twice, I bet I sound very smart… hell yeah a second parentheses within a parentheses… now the parentheses is longer than the message outside of it. I should become a writer /j))

Yep... I enjoy myself a good walk as well. That's how I keep healthy (I average 5 KMs a day).

That's crazy! 10 in a day? I couldn't even do 5 lol

Lmao same, I always thought that I would sound cool using words like "indelicate" ooh, and prudent (I don't even know what it means)

If I remember correctly, prudent is “acting with or showing care and thought for the future.“

Ah I see, I heard that it also means "decision making" or thinking before you act or something

Same, wild how much "if you've got time to lean you've got time to clean" keeps your ass marching around.

I had a good routine going since I was unemployed. Walking is what we were put on the planet to do anyway by process of elimination, right? Taking a closer look it might have been 5-10 a day. Lately on a good day I make it about 500 feet before the pain becomes too much.

For what it's worth, I'm very glad it's not @ATenderLad's reason. That's humbling to read.

Hey at least you're going out there, just gotta keep at it.

I imagine most service/retail jobs hit numbers close to that, I didn't even notice till a coworker with a step tracker started recording our average shifts.

FM radio. It’s one of my niche interests. I just like having one around listening to weather forecast, talk shows or 80s music.

There aren't any good stations in my region. It's all either "christian" stations or they blast horrible music. Lots of ads all the time too.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Sup, everyone? Hope you are all doing well.

Have you guys ever tried to write a story or something? I did once, suddenly a surge of motivation took over and i wrote a short story by hand based off a dumb joke i used to tell when i started college. One year ago i tried writing a novel or something but i made the mistake of imagining myself writing on my computer and cringed so hard that i haven't tried again but might do again some day.

 

[TotallyNotMar]

Hey so since I'm still new to using a forum I meant to ask what should I do if I want to blog about a specific game, should I make a new post in the General Gaming Discussion about said game or is that considered bad netiquette?

I have published several, mostly as one-offs. They got really good feedback, but I wasn't interested on continuing.

You have to lose the fear of embarrassment if you are gonna write, though. Can you imagine how ridiculous the pitch for things like Harry Potter and Redwall must have sounded to a publisher?

Please go ahead and do that. If it's a console game, it should go on a console subforum, however (SEGA talk, Nintendo talk, Sony talk...).

I would love to read it!

Thank you for the info! The game I'm planning on looking at is actually a steam port/remaster of a old PC game called Severance: Blade Of Darkness! I'll go into more detail when I make the post but I've been wanting to try it since I was a teen but didn't know what it was actually called lol.

General Gaming Discussion is fine, then.

If it was the original version, I'd say it'd be better off on General Retro Gaming :)
