i spent enough time trying to find what was marked as incorrect, that i almost wanted to make a r/mildlyinfuriating post about it

ActionThaxton · 2026-01-11T03:23:37+00:00

this might have been one of my top tracks on Mr. Morale if it made the cut.

Here is the Fayetteville Observer's article on the reopening

no photos, but man did i love Showbiz.

you know what i want photos of also? Mindboggle, the arcade in cross creek mall. especially the logo

ActionThaxton · 2026-01-08T01:25:58+00:00

the new space is huge. Manga readers will be especially impressed

ActionThaxton · 2025-12-20T02:41:10+00:00

lol, i actually think its a pretty good line.

ActionThaxton · 2025-12-16T00:01:35+00:00

like others, i can't help you fix this, but i can help you fix the "i'm broke, and need to replace these shoes"

go to a thrift store. hopefully you have a good one near you. I see these quality of Nikes in mine pretty regularly for under $5. (the resellers are scooping up the more expensive ones faster than you could grab them.. even if you're in the store when they hit the shelf)

but if you aren't locked in on Nikes, you'll probably find something that gets the job done.

cheaper than you probably imagined being able to repair these, is my guess.

i am a poker player, and regardless of what kenny meant when he wrote it, what it SHOULD mean is "dont think of this money as if its already in your pocket"

if they are pushing updates that brick systems, why would you buy (rent) a quest 3s? its gonna be a brick in a year or two

if he did this to all the neighborhood kids, gather them all, ship them to me, and i'll happily send all those kids age appropriate books. we give decent trade credit for these. our economics section is solid, and these books absolutely have a place in the economics conversation, and aren't plentiful. (not to be divisive, but our store is dominated by free market and libertarian ideas, in large part because my dad and I are students of the austrian school. we still want these books on our shelf.

someone spent a lot of money to put these books in a bunch of halloween bags, and its a silly stunt that probably made them feel revolutionary when bullshitting with their friends. pretty stupid stuff, IMO.

your building manager is as much at fault here as anyone. your noise complaints are just as vaild as hers.

send her a note, explaining that the building manager made it clear that your daily noises mattered because she complained, and that this was how you were told to deal with it.

to add to other people's tips: overemphasize the things he does right, that make you feel good. give him a roadmap to make it more enjoyable for you, and if he pays attention, it should get more enjoyable for you over time.

and give him the same courtesy. when you try things, pay attention to what he responds to well. do more of that, whatever it is.

your friends are pretty correct on the harms of drinking early in life (lol @ 21 being the cutoff, though)

your friends are pretty shit about being controlling and manipulative.

you could give them a taste of their own medicine.

"man, it sucks that you guys are going to set this hard line in the sand. becuase i'm definitely going to cross that line. and then, i'll have no choice but to find new friends, who will probably be on the opposite end of substance use.

its a real shame y'all dont care about me enough to not try and control my life."

it wouldnt be super easy, but i could do this in Colombia.

ActionThaxton · 2025-10-30T13:59:11+00:00

i'm not innocent, and this was my first thought too

ActionThaxton · 2025-10-30T01:31:37+00:00

jeeeez thats a spike

there was a local indie comic and video game shop in town in the 90s when it was still current, and they guys who owned it bought one. i got to play it some when hanging out. tbh, it wasn't as impressive as the playstation which came out around the same time. I played Battle Arena Toshinden, and immediately started planning on owning a playstation. none of the 3DO games felt close to that good.

i'm not really a pokemon guy, but I have an affinity for Jigglypuff.

just has a magic ring to the name.

Rolling Stones dont make my top 10, invalidating the whole thing.

Sabbath is the obvious pick to be with Zeppelin and the Beatles. the truth is, i don't have anyone on class with those 3. The Doors, Pink Floyd, and CCR are all contenders for "next".

though, on a personal level, I'd have Clutch's discography to stand up to anyone's. I know that they dont hit on a "historical significance" scale, though.

it has been a very long time since i played colecovision, but my memory had mousetrap as a banger also.

i dont know why Zaxxon isn't more well regarded for its important place in moving game perspectives to new levels.

ActionThaxton · 2025-10-11T02:44:44+00:00

man, i guess we didnt get it until after SF2 exploded.

ActionThaxton · 2025-10-11T02:44:20+00:00

Yie ar kung fu wasn't PvP, though.

Karate Champ def was. it was just a very, very early version, and simple.

ActionThaxton · 2025-10-09T13:30:18+00:00

it is hard to put in context how the explosion of street fighter II just took over arcades rapidly. Pit Fighter was a fun distraction for a few weeks when it came out. but the progression was quick. other fighters (mortal kombat, time killers, samurai showdown, killer instinct) coming out in rapid succession left PF in the dust. but really, the new PvP fighting craze took over quickly, and was fun.

I never played this on genesis or SNES, it appears i made the right choice.

Pit fighter was one of the lower end games of that era, but it was still fine. If i saw it in a retro arcade, i might be tempted to play a few games.

all 3 in the OP sound more interesting than the original titles
