    Nice.

    That really sucks when some folks simply can't just move on with life. They talk about how crappy the forum is, the staff, community, yourself or whatever. They say they don't care.  .....but then they keep sending nasty PMs, posts, threats, etc. throwing a fit and blame others for being childish, rude, power hungry, etc. ....essentially, we are all the problem and they're fine.  There is just no reasoning with some people when they get to that point no matter what you do so there is no alternative than to help them move on.

    If I had that much of a problem with a forum I'd maybe have one departing post with suggestions/remarks (if that) and just leave.

    Luckily, it doesn't happen often around here as the community generally pretty mellow, friendly and just cool.

    ....but yeah, my day is starting out just fine today.  :)

    The thing is, he was on the forum for a good few years and was one of our most chill, least confrontational members. Then he started complaining about being harassed on YouTube, at which point a couple of those "trolls" appeared and showed me proof of him killing animals, stalking actresses he worked with, doxing people and their relatives, making death threats, and even threatening to bomb a police station. There was even a podcast where the guy outright admitted to all of this.

    Needless to say, I couldn't risk anyone in my community (however small it may be) inadvertently raising his ire and suffering any of this, so I banned him. And he's been trolling the site (and attempting to troll me) through VPNs and duplicate accounts ever since. With my minimal online presence (that is, no YouTube videos or social media accounts revealing my face or real name) and with an entire country and ocean between him and I, I'm at far less risk of any IRL retaliation than anyone else on my site.

    Supposedly, if your channel is for kids or "kid friendly" the comment sections will be removed. I don't watch any channels like this to know if it happened. 

    I do know that there have been a number of changes with Sony but that has to do more with Sony than Google/Youtube.

    Seems you're right. I just checked the Totally Spies! channel and the comment sections on all the videos I looked at are disabled. Granted, they were mostly filled with comments about how hot the three protagonists are, but I digress.

     

     

     

     

     

    I like that show. Don't judge me. 🙉

    This is the funny thing about today's society. Favoritism is what saves you from past mistakes. We have all made mistakes in the past be it as individuals, groups, or companies. We also have to consider how different it is today compared to when these "mistakes" were made. So many things way back when were normal and everyday things that were acceptable at large and most of this stuff would not be acceptable today. 

    It's simply a matter of a continually evolving society. Things that are acceptable today might be considered totally out of line in 50 years' time.

    UPDATE:

    Kean, I put this in the wrong sub forum, sorry I meant to put it in rdr2 story mode.

    2nd UPDATE:

    I found the answers in a Newsweek article, the items I asked about below will be available in story mode after 1/21/2020

    Here is the link.

    https://www.newsweek.com/red-dead-redemption-2-update-115-expands-story-mode-adds-new-single-player-missions-console-1477195

     

    So as of the pc release of the game there have been items added to the game including treasure map quests and trinkets.

    I am wondering are these also added to the console versions of the game or are they pc only?

    I watched a video on the Elemental trail treasure map for example, this wasnt in the game last year, but I wonder if it was added to the ps4 and xbx versions of the game or not.

    Can anyone confirm?

    These are already in the console versions (well, the PS4 version, at least). I've done the Elemental Trail treasure map and have all the newly-added weapons and trinkets.

  5. Normally, I wouldn't be worried. This is the same shtick Iran been doing for decades now. They start their grandstanding and threatening as if they think the world is afraid of them, cooler heads prevail and call the bluff, then NATO and the UN gives them some small concession that's ultimately meaningless or insignificant and they back down. But "cooler head" is a foreign concept to Donald Trump. For Christ's sake, this is the same guy who said we should try having a president for life here in America.

    Highly unlikely the US and China will ever go to war, though. Both economies depend vitally on each other.

  6. Not as much as I used to. It was a real bummer for me when they stopped making new vehicles and weapons available in Story Mode, especially as some of the best new cars came after that (the Dominator GTX, Ellie, and Imperator, for example). A lot of people can't seem to comprehend this, but it was fun having these new toys to play with and not have to grind missions or buy shark cards to afford them.

    I feel kinda bad.  I had two people level 15 and below come into my camp.  They proceeded with taunts and the usual.  I waved and was nice but it kept going.  So I fired a few warning shots.  When that didn’t work, I lowered my flag and shot both with dynamite arrows.  I may have been a bit harsh, but was getting annoyed.

    Yes, you were. And you're a terrible person because that was me and my developmentally disable twin brother who you scarred for life.

    Nah, just kidding. But I would have used fire arrows instead.

    Jingle All The Way deals with the insanity of shopping for Christmas. I don't count the others as Christmas films. I am a bit stubborn with what I classify into these kinds of genres though.

    Oh, come now. Don't you see the sheer Christmas joy in the Dark Knight's face?

    Online.....  My own vehicles and CEO helo, etc.

    The OP doesn't say what cars he's talking about, which is why I'm pointing out that the radios in the story mode protagonists' personally-owned cars will sometimes default back to the individual protagonist's favorite radio station.

    ....so yeah, was playing a little tonight and it seems the radio stayed tuned to the stations I had set them on in the vehicles I had been driving.

    Were you driving Michael's Tailgater, Franklin's Buffalo, Trevor's Bodhi, or random vehicles you jacked off the street?

    This is something I wish was included for the story mode at least. It would help if you need to stretch your dollar a bit more. I accidentally got a gun I didn't need nor want and had to earn the money back.

    In all fairness, accumulating money in this game isn't a difficult or time consuming task.

    I wonder why that is. Do think it is simply the fact the cell phones are so popular these's day's?

    It's because getting the phone out of a girl's hand usually requires a cutting torch.
