They have pet frogs that they let chill in their home, also he doesn't seem so happy that his home was disturbed.
What song do you think he is dancing to?
God wasps freak me out. Parasitoid wasps especially, for whatever god damn reasons i fear they'll stung me and enject their eggs inside of me only to break out chestburster style.

How far have you traveled? Any cool places you found or discoveries you made?
>>4099
The furthest I've traveled was Canada. Canada was not particularly interested because Canada just seemed like America to me. I was not in Canada long enough to notice anything of note. Canada is still North America so there will be a lot of similarities.

Thats funny because i had the same problem for the most part
"well damn this is just like home"
To be honest though 90% of the traveling i do (which is only in state) is for serious reasons instead of fun. I think it would be diffrent if i found something cool to see of do.

I think visiting nature is more interesting than visiting urban areas because an awful lot of urban areas are similar with differences here and there. The scenic areas of a location show off the uniqueness of an area.
I traveled way out of town, into another state and found a type of cool, home made mini mall where it was like these little shacks but each with their own themes and goods, like one was a metaphysics shop with /x/ shit and another was a neat little gamer shack with rare games and another had action figures, toys and so on. I like finding new things you can't buy elsewhere.

I played some tennis and I lost every match. It was fun still, mainly because I am rusty at the sport. I suppose I'll get better with more playing.
There was this thing i bought at a yard sale called the "perfect pull-up bar" and i have to say it works pretty damn good. It goes in between a doorframe and you can do several diffrent workouts but pullups are the primary reason to use it. It took a few weeks but i started feeling results. It was nice to have the ability to climb stuff and do more yardwork without burnint out faster.

I have a pull-up bar somewhere in my room but I've failed to set up the bar properly. It has escaped me why I never went through with finishing it but I never did.

Here's a better alternative i found, and drink.
Electrolyte Drink
1 ½-2 cups water
Juice of ½ lemon
1/4 tsp real sea salt, Himalayan salt, or Celtic sea salt
2 tsp raw honey local
Pullups are the best. I can't do pushups anymore because of elbow pain. Pullups are immune to this problem for me.
As for diet, my breakfast most mornings is banana and almonds. Just eating less bad food in general is the best way to improve your health.
I like pinball, and I play it every chance I get. I went to a pinball museum a few days ago, so I got to try many tables.
>Jungle Queen (pic related from IPDB)
I had never tried a table this old before. I like the unique double flipper arrangement, and the playfield art is great. The chimes are pleasant, too. Tables from the '70s like this tend to be inclined less than newer ones, so nudging is more effective and it's harder to get the ball trapped on a flipper. I like the simple rules. It's fun to clear the drop target banks.
>Big Guns
I had to play this one when I saw it, because it was noted as being designed by Mark Ritchie, whose work on Fish Tales I'm familiar with. More on that later, maybe. This table features 2 cannons that actually shoot the balls through the air and onto the habitrails. Also, there's a little game in the backglass that uses a smaller ball. I haven't seen either of those features anywhere else. It's an exciting table with top-notch presentation in both visuals and sound. Also, this thing is a beast. It's so heavy that I found it difficult to get any effect out of nudging.
>Riverboat Gambler
I had learned some of the rules for this table in advance, so I had fun going for the various objectives. There are 6 main ones, and while I got each one at some point, I couldn't manage to complete them all in one game. There's a spinning wheel in the backglass for the roulette minigame, and some extra buttons are used to place bets on it. There's also a gap at the top of the right outlane that allows the ball to go back into the plunger lane, not only saving it but also giving another chance at the skillshot. I like that feature.
I played some other tables too, but those three were the ones I played the most. I might write about others later, or maybe I'll go into detail about a few tables that are more local to me. What pinball tables have you played?7 replies (and 6 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)
I was at the same arcade again, so I played most of the same tables, but I also tried a new one.
>Bone Busters Inc.
I don't know the rules to this one, but I gather it has a skillshot similar to the one on Big Guns. This one requires you to engage an upper flipper acting as a diverter, which is done with an extra button on the right. It seems to lock a ball if you make it. Other than than, I shot for the drop targets, which is easy enough with the left side flipper. I like the theme and the art, and the angled inlane structure is fun. This one tilts with no warnings, so it takes some finesse to save a ball. Maybe next time I'll take a look at the rules printed on the front insert.
In other news, I finally got the multiball on Fish Tales. I hit Rock the Boat a few times in the same game, so I got a decent score of a bit over 50 million. If I want to beat the 300 million default high score, I'll have to score some jackpots.
I got the multiball on Pin*Bot too, and I made some fun saves off the center post. I still didn't hit the strobing shot, though.
>>3175
I played more Bone Busters. I had wanted to try World Cup Soccer, but it seemed to be out of order.
I couldn't make much sense of the diagram on the front, and the sound effects weren't working, so I went off the playfield lights to figure out what to do. As I thought, the skillshot locks balls. A ball can be sent the same way from a left ramp shot. The center shot starts multiball with any balls that have been locked. There may be some other condition necessary, or maybe I just shot it a lot with no locks. The ramp actually sends the ball over a gap and into a hoop, so it only counts for multiball if it has enough speed to make the jump.
There's also a captive ball on the top left. I think it collects a jackpot, but I'm not sure when it's eligible. The most reliable way to shoot it is up the left side, just over the side flipper.
The drop targets appear to collect some bonuses indicated by the lights next to them. The right inlane affects these lights, making new awards available.
The shots on the right look important, but I didn't make them enough to gather how they work.
Despite not knowing much about the table and not playing any better than usual, I was awarded with so many specials that I played free for at least half an hour and left it with more credits than it had when I started. I never figured out why it kept giving them out, but it was being very generous. There even seems to be a triple special available as a multiball award.
I hope to try World Cup Soccer next time. The playfield design looks fun. Several of the tables had their coin slots blocked, so maybe it was just time for maintenance.
Anybody remember the flash pinball game based on this Nike Total 90 commercial? Seems like it's lost media today.

I'm so shit at pinball, perhaps i dont understand the rules or gameplay. Also for whatever god damned reason the fucking pinball machines at my arcade have this fucking high pitch screech that'll bust an eardrum, all of them do this for some reason. I played three machines that i can remember, alien pinball, deadpool pinball and vemom pinball.
the alien pinball allows you to choose two story modes, alien one or two. had a hard fucking time playing this one. deadpool pinball was fun, kind of like an rpg with a story mode, you have to kill mystique, sabertooth and juggernaut by doing specific things and its timed because they are also are killing deadpool arcade videogame style. venom pinball is neat because you get to choose a host and it changes the way the pinball machine is used like certian things are changed, disabled and you get buffs like extra pinballs or whatever.
>>3226
Also, alien pinball exists and it had a very novel idea for diffrent pinball types and reactions like rapidfire pinballs for an automatic rifle, and it played really cool music from the movies.
I like coffee but i dont like that i need to take massive shits in the morning after i had it, do you guys know any way to stop this?16 replies omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)
I drink every day up to two cappuccinos with shots of stevia yet I really fucking hate regular coffee and I don't get the appeal at all apart from the flavor. I should probably consider switching over to decaf as I don't see the benefits of using regular coffee in the slightest as a shower is really all I need to stay awake throughout the day, and if anything, I started to feel very stressed with caffeine in my system and couldn't get any work done at all so I am constantly trying to drink herbal tea to try and mitigate the effects which usually helps.
Do any anons here think that maybe coffee is a huge factor in contributing to the stress throughout your day?

to me, it helps because i usually have to wake up early and sleep late. especially around 2 pm is when i end up crashing so instead of coffee i switch to black tea.
I've been drinking chai tea, and it's been comfy. I like the strong spices and a very minor hint of sweetness and some milk.
I tried drinking this natural wake up brew of various herbs and fruits and it didn't feel very energising. one ingrediant that comes to mind was african maté. allegedly it's caffinated although i doubt it.
I've been drinking natural pai mu tan white tea
It has a nice floral smell and tastes sweet, nice to sip while reading a book. It is kind of funny because i was confused why the tea wasn't blooming while in reality it takes 5 minutes to bloom and for the tea to fully develop. the instructions printed and handdrawn on the back is correct, that you have to get the water temp to 180 and no higher or lower.
I fully enjoy white tea now, it cost 19 bucks but it was FUCKING WORTH IT.

Damn i got a figure of godzilla from the 2014 movie, what i really want is one of OG godzilla or mothra if they even sell those.
>>4084
There are quite a lot of those, though they seem to have hiked in price since I last remember. I think the Bandai vinyl ones are pretty easy on the budget and I think they've started making newer ones, but they aren't as high quality but still nice. Revoltech has a cool looking Mothra figure but it's pretty expensive now.
I got some new vinyl figures today. Forgive the awful camera quality. Pretty happy with these ones, Moguera and Megaguirus respectively. These are newer Bandai Movie Monster Series releases so they seem to have a more colorful coat of paint than older ones. I kind of like the paintjobs on older Bandai figures (see image 3). I feel they were a bit more stylish and detailed, even if not faithful to the colors of the monster in the movie.
>lego (fukin netflix) one piece
>lego pokémon
Lego always made decent pirate ships, Lego pirates, and pirates of the caribbean was wonderful IPs, dispite lego cucking it's own "violence is bad" rule, and shilling itself out to corperations instead of coming up with wonderful new IPS. Will lego one piece be cool? actually, maybe. Using bright, expressive bricks and cool action functions to fire little cannon balls actually makes me want a going merry for myself but honestly still, what the actual fuck? It's the same feel i had for lego prince of persia, like what are they doing?
Also considering the price of the lego sets nowadays jesus its going to cost so fucking much so i probably won't bother.
Lego pokemon, what the actual flying fuck? How in the god damn will this work? giant brick built sets for 200$? or hopfully recreations of in game locations like the pokemart? (that showcases in game map designs, as in the same exact layout of stuff from like pokemon red)
Other brands like megablocks actually made somewhat decent looking sets for like 20 bucks, i know lego is fucked especially from people from within working there, like the guy who made the actually kind of kickass lego dune set being forced to add shit to the set he didn't agree with, terrible practices, shitty bricks and wokeshit, it seems like a mixed bag. i literally am so confused to be honest, Lego pokemon doesn't make sense to me.
