This Or That?

Write a song, so I get to decide the content of this song.

N64

or

PS1

N64 is a nice console with nice game but...

PS1 was the history's GOAT. It was maybe the second time I feel so enpowered with a hardware, second only to the computer itself.

While I could download light games (at that time) and run it on my computer, downloading ISOs and burning then on CD-Rom, or simply buying very cheaply in the pirate store around here made me have access to hundreds of games, in an age I had basically no money, and SNES. Mega Drive and N64 cartridges were incredibly expensives for a boy.

Obviously PS1 over any other video game console. I actually still play PS1 games despite having access to PS4, Steam and Switch nowadays.

So

carefully watching a video lesson taking notes, spending like 30 minutes for each 5 minutes long video

Or

watching the very same video leasson at twice speed without any notes.

If it's exclusively one of these, it's this because it wastes less time and you can use the rest actually studying.

If it's a practical question, reference material is better than lesson videos once you have bare concepts. For software/tech, practice is better than any video. For other fields, use flashcards(physical or software like Anki) for spaced repetition to memorize facts effectively.

Admit Nickelback is actually enjoyable music

OR

Order a fruity mix drink in a group of beer nerds

Nickleback is good music.

Play station 2

or

Game Cube?

PS2 had FFXI... But Gamecube had a lot more games that I cared about, like Super Smash Bros. Melee, Fire Emblem PoR, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Luigi's Mansion, Legend of Zelda Master Quest, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Eternal Darkness, and Metroid Prime...

Damn you for asking this question, Mrs. Niflheim! Respectfully!

I guess I go with the Gamecube though. It's more enduring, as mine still works, whereas my PS2 started to bug out around 2010 and can't even watch DVDs or Blu-Rays that have more than 13 chapters/sections for some reason, freezing up on any that do. And I moved over onto PC for FFXI in 2011, anyway.

Plus, you know, with PS2 I always had to hear about the whole, "You're holding the group back because you're on PS2 and don't have / can't have Windower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111"

So Gamecube.

Say your favorite new age pop singer

or

Say your favorite new age tech piece/software that didn't exist in the early 2000s.

Bro, I just wanna play some Gamecube.

Favorite new tech? ChatGPT. All the new AI has been hilarious to watch in action. It's made us even lazier and I love it. Kids trying to use ChatGPT to do their homework for them and getting wrecked for it. Mids not even using ChatGPT to do their work also getting flagged as if they did. I love it. Low level computer programmers having their gravy train come to an end because now AI can replace them. Wonderful~ I'm not saying it's a good thing, because it's horribly Orwellian, but it's still my favorite. Like your phone listening to your conversations with people in real life. Suddenly you start getting ads for some game it overheard in conversation.

Buy new laptop

or

Fix old laptop? (Needs the battery replaced and a new back panel because the old battery swelled).

if older than 3 yrs, probably a good rule to just buy new. Aging of the other components means you likely don't want to stretch them another 4yrs beyond current age.

A week on a cruise ship or a week alone in a cabin on The Front Range...not much decision for me just curious about others.

Alone in Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea! I meant Trailer Park Boys Cruise!

Metallica

or

Slayer

Metallica, slayer is just lame.

Dr. Pepper

or

Coca-Cola?

Dr. Pepper

Ride the Lightning

or

Master of Puppets

Master of Puppets ONLY because Orion

Captain Caveman

or

Danger Mouse

Captain Caaaaaaveman

Post 4 times back to back

Or

Edit your post dramatically changing it every 10sec for 1min

Post 4 times back to back.

Darkwing Duck

or

Scrooge McDuck

Well, Scrooge was part of my childhood, despite my favorite Disneys char being Donald Duck.

So, in the gym, what you dislike the most?

Someone asking to share the pulley with him just so he can use both pulley (and changing totally your own pulley config)

Or

Seeing someone using the bench you need only to place the cellphone/water on it?

Seeing someone using the bench you need only to place the cellphone/water on it

Spend a day as a bird.

or

Spend a day as a fish.

Oh Bird. Easy.


Watch all the election coverage on Tuesday;

Attend 5 Town Hall Meetings. In a row.

Given the lack of hours in a day, and the physical inability to process all info at once, 1. Is technically impossible. But assuming it applies to just ‘watch one channel’. 1. Hands down.

1. Attend a city council meeting and ask questions
2. Attend a school board meeting and DONT ask questions

Attend a city council meeting and ask questions, I have to many question to not ask them of my school board, I am sure I could find a question to ask my city council.

You suffer a severe bout of mid-life crisis do you:
Become a fisherman
or
Become a farmer

I know already answered, but damn you destroyed my comparison, BRAVO

Become a fisherman. Being on a boat is more fun that plowing the fields. Though my wife might be mad about me being out at sea.

Harpoon a whale

or

Javelin a mammoth

Plus it's highly frowned upon to garden while completely hammered complaining that the potatoes aren't biting that day

Javelin a mammoth, as it is not currently illegal... or maybe it is but I am still going for it.

have your computer go all bicentennial man on you

or

have it go all 2000 a space odyssey on you?

2001 space odyssey cuz it's like a simon. beep bop boop bop.

Pink Floyd The Wall

or

The Who's Tommy

Who?

Anyway I pick PINK FLOYD!

Square Enix

or

Ubisoft

Square Enix of course, FF ftw, especially FFXI and Stranger of Paradise. I also enjoyed Last Remnant(basically SaGa) very much.


As for Ubisoft, I only played Prince of Persia trilogy in early 2000 and assassin's Creed 1 + AC origin. I find their games generally too easy and not technical nor complex enough for me. I generally enjoy more input complex action games like dmc.

I also find assassin's Creed super repetitive so meh.

If it's Square Enix v.s Capcom it would be much harder to decide for me. So many good action games from Capcom.

So......

Square Enix

Or

Capcom? :D

Capcom made Mega Man. Capcom wins at everything.

Automatic volume increase?

Sail - AWOLNATION

or

Du Hast - Rammstein

Du Hast, though lately their song I like most is Dicke Titten.

What Price Loyalty?

or

A Feast for Gnats?

A Feast for Gnats! Robelllll Akbellllllll is the coolest 8)

Truck

or

Car

My Ford Ranger lasted over 10 years and was very useful for moving things around, but I'd pick a car today probably.

Capcom and SE though, that's a real tough one.

Print books or audio?

Print books, I do listen to audio books on my commute but I would prefer printed books because the specific type of books I want to consume there are so many more printed then audio (that is probably true for all genres)


Go to japan for free and as long as you like but you can never learn the language (and if you already know it you forget it)

or

Instantly learn Japanese but you can never go to the country?
