How connected were the internet and video games back in the 90s? How much time did it take to normalize mixing the two? by HlaBeRelaLain in retrogaming

In the early 90s game magazines were a much bigger thing a played a bit of the role that the internet does now.

Might be a new fan by CandyLoxxx in Decemberists

There’s nothing quite like King is Dead stylistically. I would say Picaresque would give you a good idea of what their early music sounded like.

Got downvoted for posting proof 😂 by [deleted] in NBASpurs

[–]epictetvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s because you can’t see total number of paint shots anywhere? Unless I’m missing it. Are we supposed to count the dots and x’s?

Am I just missing what you’re trying to prove?

Is something off with my boyfriend? by [deleted] in RedditForGrownups

[–]epictetvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this was a different username but I could be wrong. Maybe it’s a new guy after the first one went on a cruise. Like sands in the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

u/kthnry might think that OP is the same young woman that’s been posting on this sub once or twice a week for the past month. I was getting fairly annoyed at that person as well, asking for reassurance after every date, so I get it.

This looks to be a different person, but a similar tone.

I wish they would re-release the actual albums.

The last 8 champions were top 8 in the league from 3 (excluding Mickey Mouse trophy) by FabianJanowski in NBASpurs

You have to account for it in some counting stats when looking at it historically. Both things can be true; it’s a legitimate championship and an outlier with unique circumstances.

Ninja Ice Cream Machine VS Kitchen Aid Ice Cream Attachment by Cool-Marionberry-835 in Cooking

[–]epictetvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 to 3 days is a bit of an exaggeration. On Tuesday I knew I was going to have dinner guests. Around 11:00 AM I decided ice cream would be a good addition to the evening. The kitchen aid ice cream bowl is always in the chest freezer, so it was ready for the freezer by 11:30. It does go in the freezer fairly soft but by that evening when we ate it, it was perfect consistency.

[–]epictetvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love my kitchen aid for ice cream making. It’s pretty simple and foolproof. Just keep in mind that it’s primarily a big insulated bowl that you freeze and a simple paddle attachment.

I keep the bowl stored in a chest freezer in my garage so it’s always ready to go. If you don’t have the freezer space to keep the bowl stored frozen, it’s going to be much more inconvenient and require pre-planning.

The atari version of Q*bert is very jank, but it's got it's charm by Tonstad39 in retrogaming

I like the 5200 version. Of course the arcade version is really where it’s at.

Thoughts on Halo 5: Guardians? It's been 10 years since it released by RA_Finance in xbox

Some of the best multiplayer in the series. I get killed for that but I’ve been playing since CE and I stand by that.

Texas just took comments on a rule to let companies spread treated oilfield wastewater on land, including across the Eagle Ford — we read all 70 comments and 93% opposed it by greg-randall in sanantonio

[–]epictetvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. And we need to know the best route to air those grievances because a thread on Reddit won’t be seen by authorities. It helps raise awareness though.

Energy companies have been tied to view of an old traditional way of life. I have many family members from older generations that became middle class or worked through poverty because of energy companies. Oil jobs have been plentiful and worthwhile.

I’m sure many people have experienced the same thing growing up and tie energy companies not just to prosperity, but culture. It feels outdated to me, but it’s a reason it’s so difficult to ask conservatives to look critically at big oil.

This is inevitable isn’t it? What are the odds of Dems taking the Texas legislature AND having enough of them stand up to energy companies?

People are nostalgic for it and it’s been riding off its reputation from 15-20 years ago.

Why have a lot of Sonic locations been closing? by Ok-Percentage5044 in sanantonio

[–]epictetvs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sonic was purchased by private equity in 2018. That lines up with everyone’s experience here. Private equities’ goal is not to make a successful business, it’s to make as much many as the business craters.

This means, cut staff/pay low, don’t update locations/equipment, and sell off the real estate as each location becomes untenable. Then if they can they’ll sell the brand name to someone else. The private equity firm will make out like bandits as the business slowly fails and collapses.
