That was a great game. Hmm… still have it lying around somewhere - wonder if it will run on windows 10 :thinking:

Oh I always thiught it was like Teamspeak or a more group friendly version of Skype. Even after using it once or twice. Didn’t know one could actually spend time there outside of a specific purpose.

While we are on social media for young people: I don’t understand what reddit is and how it works.

Reddit is wild. You can find anything and everything

Probably too wild for me. I’m starting to lose touch with the internet stuff. And I’m much younger than you’d think when someone says stuff like that.

Red alert is great but my jam was Tiberian Sun.

I confess that there’s now enough skin from my forearms jammed into the canvas of my sandbag that I had to take the cover off and let it air dry. Smelled like a fucking corpse after my last use…

I also confess that American tourists may be my least favorite to encounter abroad. Not because they’re necessarily the worst, but because there is such a hard dichotomy for their behavior. Americans abroad either (a) feel like they own the place and are entitled to special treatment everywhere or (b) are the nicest people you run into. I encountered a dead even amount of each archetype on my recent trip to Iceland and it was infuriating.

I always found British tourists to be worse. Americans are usually very friendly, they just have no indoor voice.

I confess that I am quite shocked at the lack of athleticism in some people is quite shocking

I was attempting to teach a friend how to squat today. He literally could not do a single bodyweight squat to depth and could barely do 2 pushups

I improvised and had him do squats supported by a dip bar with heels elevated on 5lb plates and some lunges

I confess that I have to go to Las Vegas next week for some training, and for once I’m looking forward to it.

It’ll be nice to get back to travelling again.

It’s been a while, but I did a LOT of traveling around Europe back in the day and I always just told people I was Canadian. Problem solved.

They’re worse than English soccer hooligans.

Those spoiled Westerners and their high standards :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
Anyone who thinks AMERICANs have trouble w/ indoor voices has NEVER spent any meaningful amount of time with groups of middle aged Chinese women.
Even my mum (two masters degrees +25 years living in the states) and her friends (some of them own skyscrapers in Shanghai and multiple yachts) has trouble keeping their voices down

“One of the most embarrassing episodes came two years ago, when a 15-year-old Chinese tourist carved his name on ancient bas reliefs in a temple in Luxor, Egypt.”

:joy: :joy: :joy:

Even local Chinese here can’t stand it when China Chinese talk at normal volume.

Here’s an interesting story:

I don’t really notice US tourists talking really loudly. But I’ve seen some with balls of steel.

Personally saw an American dude getting restrained by mostly Chinese dudes in a small pub when he tried to fight a light skinned Filipino dude who looked Chinese. I couldn’t tell the difference myself because of the lighting.

The American was ALONE.

He was yelling “Chinese pig!” while being restrained. People were too confused by this to even get angry so no one took the opportunity to beat the shit out of him even though it would have been EASY. Half of them were probably gang members. It was the Filipino dude who took the opportunity to take a few swings at him while he was physically incapacitated but the Chinese PUSHED HIM AWAY.

How do you get angry at someone this crazy with balls this size lol? I think the gangsters admired his balls too much to beat him up in a group. They just “escorted” him to the exit of the building once he had cooled down. “Street rules” and shit.
