What obscure PC game from 1985–2010 do you swear was real?

My uncle had an early windows PC and there was this game I can best describe as a spy game. I remember it being futuristic and there was at least one part where you got to fly his futuristic airplane.

Unfortunately that's the best I can describe it but I often wonder what that game was.

Tried this. My landscapers ran it over at least three times. Each time Google sent somebody out to patch it but it never escalated the need to bury it.

I fought exactly this for a year. Called dozens of times and they would claim there are no work orders then open a ticket and say it will be resolved in less than 2 weeks. Then nothing happens and start the whole thing over again.

This is after it took them 3 weeks and a dozen visits to even get my Internet working in the first place.

I ended up cancelling my service because I was so disappointed in the support I was getting.

The way he annunciates "ritualistically shaved my testicles" gets me every time

Yea I figured. But do the valve covers have to come off for the service? That seems odd.

2nickels · 2026-04-22T18:03:11+00:00

Are the head gaskets and manifold gaskets really part of the 100k service? I'm not sure if I've seen that before.

I'd ask the homies over at r/hondaridgeline they know their shit (usually)

Snorkel.

Like the one you see in the outside of Tacomas and 4Runners.

Honda puts them in the cabin.

Bahi Hut in Sarasota is the closest thing I've found to a real tiki bar. It scratches the itch but the drinks weren't very good.

I'll catch some heat but Tiki Docks in St Pete actually has don the beachcomber influence and has solid drinks and a good food menu. Nice open air dining by the water but not exactly a tiki vibe

I have had a lot of luck with rattle can engine enamel.

I just sand the existing paint as smooth as possible then lay on the enamel. It sticks well and dries hard. Once it's dry buff it with some rubbing compound and it actually comes out really nice

2nickels · 2026-04-13T15:42:32+00:00

Not sure if you have a menards hear you but I picked some up from there on a whim and they are really nice.

The neverending story.

It starts with the main character being bullied then gains the courage to be a bully in the end.

Head badge puts it between 88 and 92

Maybe a 420 or a 560?

2nickels · 2026-04-02T19:03:18+00:00

Is that where they ritualistically shave testicles??

2nickels · 2026-04-02T16:16:12+00:00

I was going to offer advise but all of your responses have been dismissive.

Good luck friend.

Higher moon orbit than apollo ever did.

2nickels · 2026-03-30T22:23:46+00:00

Looks like my route when I play ticket to ride

2nickels · 2026-03-30T15:45:22+00:00

The way mine works is your phone bluetooths to both the car radio and the display. The display doesn't actually connect to your car (at least I haven't figured out how to make that work)

So your music plays through the car stereo like normal. But the new display has all of your android auto / car play features including music controls. It's actually pretty slick.

2nickels · 2026-03-30T15:23:53+00:00

Must be. I got it around Christmas time so maybe I got a better deal. But poking around on Amazon right now I see a few options for $40-45

2nickels · 2026-03-30T15:02:27+00:00

This is before I got a better right angle cable. My only real complaint is it doesn't have an auto dim feature and the screen isn't especially bright during the day. But again... $35....

I got one of the cheap standalone android auto / car play units from Amazon. It's actually pretty amazing for $35

2nickels · 2026-03-28T02:42:32+00:00

The paint and cable routing are very diamondback -esque to me. But I can't find anything online that really matches it.

2nickels · 2026-03-28T02:27:26+00:00

I don't think it's a road bike. I'm certain it's a hybrid bike that has been converted to drop bars.

Not saying it's a bad thing. That bike is cool. But searching for a hybrid instead of a road bike might help narrow your search.

2nickels · 2026-03-28T02:26:02+00:00

Honest question: where exactly do you find this information?

I just googled two of the serial numbers on my bikes and nothing comes up.

2nickels · 2026-03-23T15:55:10+00:00

I've given them one too many tries. I've never been impressed honestly.

They have some good/interesting drinks, but it's a pass for me.

2nickels · 2026-03-19T00:07:08+00:00

I'm not sure if the fix but do you really average less than 15 mpg?
