Guessing from the context about that clip since I can't really see it (annoying how there's more and more stuff twitter wants you to sign in to see; I'm still not interested in making an account for that; probably never will)... yeah that's an instant disqualifier for me if she's that hateful about her dude playing videogames.  That's one thing I'm not budging on one bit... it's my favorite medium of entertainment, so no way in hell I'll stop playing games.  "There's the door."  She can kindly get the fuck out and stay gone forever if that's how it's going to be.  
 
My best friend from college definitely got a good one; she happens to also be at least casually into gaming, so there's been plenty of times we've all been playing something like Phantasy Star games, Halo, Gears of War, Borderlands games, etc.

sheeeitttt, I regret not getting into a fight when I was a kid...back then, with my generation at least... that was when you could get away with beating someone's ass.  A kid of today might actually get arrested as a result (even if the kid was a victim and retaliating against a bully)...or somehow the parent(s) would get charged... it wouldn't surprise me.  There were some folks I remember having such a deep hatred for... I wanted to just go full savage mode until someone else pulled me away from them....fighting thuggery with thuggery.
 
...and that reminds me; if I had a kid, then oh yeah there's no way in the world I'd want them in public school systems.  I'd do whatever I have to get done to afford sending them to some private with little to no "thug-life" garbage infestation.  I would not want my theoretical son or daughter being in school with the same kind of gutter trash I had to tolerate.  Well, I'd already be in a good position by just not being in Memphis in the first place (goddamn 3rd world shithole passing as an American "city")....that's already a huge improvement right there.
 
...another randomly disappointing thing about Memphis, btw... as a kid I thought it was so cool at first that we got a pyramid in the city!  Fast forward to now...you know what's there?  BASS PRO SHOPS.  They have some cool shit like a modern-day pyramid... and somehow it becomes a Bass Fuckin Pro Shop.  Of all the things it could have become... it's like imagine some other cool landmark, like you had a fancy castle or a golden Taj Mahal-looking place...and years later it just becomes a Kroger.

 
MASK again....that marathon is still on....
The required educational segments at the end of each MASK episode are funny... one of them was in a junkyard, and Matt's son Scott found T-Bob hiding in a fridge so of course that was the "lesson of the day"----Never hide in an empty fridge, there's no air in there!  T-Bob seemed disoriented too, like he almost died..... even though he's a robot so he would presumably not require air to breathe.  

Currently on "Shout Factory TV" streaming--- M.A.S.K.! I didn't know they were showing this too... this "channel" is so good, that particular smart-tv is always set to it if I'm not playing games on there.  They're often showing marathons of Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai/Power Rangers stuff, Mystery Science Theater episodes, old sci-fi and horror movies, and a lot of other things.
 
This takes me back... unfortunately I didn't have many MASK toys...just the green motorcycle driving character with the "Lifter!" mask power, and I think Matt Tracker's car.  I always wanted "Switchblade" with Miles Mayhem the most... that was the coolest of the vehicles....sadly I never got that one.  
 
*This is the first time I have seen the show since back when it was new... the voice acting performances on here are terribly bland, like all of them are just phoning it in....some sound like the 1 take is the very first time they saw and read the lines.
*ohhh I forgot how hot the redheaded woman was on the villains side...niiiiiice
https://mask.fandom.com/wiki/Vanessa_Warfield
Well ya know what that means----if for whatever reason Disney or WB ever decided to make a live-action version of MASK, I wonder what Black actress they'd get to play her.
 
*ah yep and now I'm remembering how annoying Matt Tracker's son was. I realize now he and T-Bob were set up to be the comic relief characters but it was just tiresome... Matt would tell his son to "stay here" while they handled things...but his son would always try to watch the battles or get involved somehow (while T-Bob is all like "uhhh I don't know about this!"), ultimately getting himself into trouble.

A&P on one of our favorite issues once again
 
I love how there's some of a certain ideological side that seem to think no one would try to take advantage of the situation (*like with gaining access to women's locker-rooms and bathrooms... "Oh all I have to do is say I identify as female and I can get in there?  I don't have to prove it in some way? Sheeeeeitttttt...")

Huh? Okay I guess.
 
Here is the alternate ending in case you haven’t seen it.
 
 
 

Oh it definitely is....so here's part 3
 

^Oh I can't wait to see how she somehow manages to get "probation"....or maybe 3 or 4 years in prison + community service at best.  
If I were the father of that kid, this joke of an American legal system would be the least of her concerns.  
 
Back on my nostalgia trip----
Another great thing about this older stuff like Battlestar Galactica (and American Werewolf in London the other day)... it takes me back to that time when there was still "high stakes" in a story, and not every scene was about 6 seconds away from a joke or "witty one-liner" like we're getting in the typical superhero shows/movies of the past few years (*this has become so annoying...if most of the characters aren't taking anything, even the most dire situations seriously, why should the audience?).  Battlestar starts off with a bleak situation for the human race....and you see characters dying... people like the newly sworn in President of the colony having to make some tough choices in hopes of assuring their survival against a seemingly unstoppable enemy.
 
...after watching Werewolf in London recently---first time I've seen this one all the way thru... I now agree with my friend that this was definitely the coolest-looking werewolf on screen, even though you don't see that much of it; mostly closeups on the face and head.

Battlestar was an awesome show, every season was great except the one that took place during the writer's strike.  That one had some really goofy episodes.  I think it was S3?  Either way, it was a really awesome show and Admiral Adama's testicular fortitude made him one of my favorite sci-fi captains.

I'm way late on this but yeah... Battlestar Galactica is indeed as awesome as I was expecting... I always suspected this show would be exactly my kind of thing; I just never got around to watching it until now.  Oh yeah this is already worth the money.  This "series collection" on dvd was 60 or 70 bucks at Walmart.
 
I'm remembering now there was a "Live Arcade" Battlestar game back in the xbox 360 days that I played that was fun... it wasn't anything that sophisticated or deep; a simple space shootemup kind of thing if I recall, just with that name/IP slapped on there.  
 
Anyway, yeah---great opening episode, action, the special effects for the time (cgi for the spaceship/combat scenes, and certain "Cylon" visuals) looked pretty cool.  Also, as per the usual rule of tv shows and movies, the lineup of hot girls is solid as well.

This Ukraine situation isn't new. It's been going on since 2014. It started when Russia stole Crimea from Ukraine. No one did shit about it. Obama didn't do anything about it for two years and neither did Trump for the following four years. Putin saw that no one did fuck all about him taking Crimea for 8 years and decided that no one would do anything if he took the whole thing. Only reason he didn't end up being right is the Ukranians didn't roll over for him. The assumption by NATO and the rest of the world was that Russia would steam roll Ukraine. So no one wanted to stick their neck out for them. The Ukrainians slapping around the Russia's showed that A) They were capable of fending off Russia and B) Russia's military was far the the juggernaut believed.
 
I hate to make the comparison because it means nothing since it's carted out all the time. This situation reminds me of Hilter and the Nazi's. Before WW2, Germany kept crossing the line and no one wanted war. So, instead of doing anything about it, Europe just appeased them and moved the line. This happened for years until finally Germany invaded Poland. Putin and Russia have been following the same modus operandi. They've been doing shit for years. They'd get hit with some sanctions, which hurts the citizens, but the people in charge could careless. He invaded Ukraine and it made all of the former Soviet bloc countries in NATO nervous. They knew if something wasn't done, Putin, like Hitler before him would keep crossing whatever line was set for him.
 
Side note: I'm not the biggest fan of Trump but I agree with him about NATO. To borrow a Bill Burr line "When they are going to pick up their end of the couch." Even as a teenager, Yugoslavia comes to mind, I was perturbed that the US was expected to fly across the Atlantic and do something about it. When the rest of NATO could figuratively and literally drive there. It would be like if something was popping off in Mexico and the US expected their NATO allies to handle it when Mexico is on the US border.

Yeesh things are looking scary. Not trying to start anything. Just genuine question. Do ya think this would've happened on Trump's watch? They seemed less Bolden to do such things. And he was even improving relations with N.Korea, and getting on other NATO members to start carrying their weight military wise

So I saw #national divorce trending on my twitter feed so I'm like...What the hell is this about?  So I click on it and of course it's some dumb shit that MTG said.
 

So many good acquisitions lately for the movie/show collection...
I also found 4k American Werewolf in London recently, then earlier today I found the complete Battlestar Galactica (*it's the later-era one that I think was on SyFy some years ago)... and a 3-season collection of Gummi Bears.  I was there to get that Battlestar collection; the Gummi Bears dvd was a pleasant surprise I wasn't even on the lookout for....and that was cheap at just 10 bucks.
 
I was watching my 4k version of The Matrix earlier today....of course it looks incredible....also took me back to those old memories of seeing it for the first time in the theater; I was there on the debut weekend and the audience hype level was off the charts, right from that first action scene they hit you with that features Trinity.   The marketing campaign for that at the time was pure brilliance too, as it was everywhere but they left it a mystery.... I still remember they included Morpheus' famous line in the trailer-- "No one can be....told what the Matrix is....you have to see it for yourself."  
 
It was a surprise that my Dad loved this movie as well; I always figured he would be far too annoyingly cynical and overly critical to enjoy something like that.
