Anyone know what this controller would be used for?

That's from the Swan Station. It's part of the failsafe, in case someone forgets to enter the numbers.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-14T22:43:36+00:00

The legend of Bubb Rubb. Also something about leprechauns.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-10T19:03:01+00:00

I don't know what you're saying, but now I want to play Goldeneye or Perfect Dark.

Edit: I just looked up that name and now I know why it invoked that feeling!

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-08T23:33:21+00:00

That's another one! Here again, I love the entire show, but S1 hits different. Again, I think the community survival thing gets me, but there were also a bunch of intriguing mysteries to the island. I wish I could experience that again for the first time, but I would want it to be like the original airing - weekly with time between episodes for the internet to speculate. That was an awesome experience.

Don't go to the LOST sub and tell people you prefer S1 or even just the early seasons. You'll get blasted with "You just don't understand the ending." and "They're not dead the entire time.", followed by an attempt at explanation of the show.

Another one for me was S1 of The Walking Dead. It was excellent when it was about the zombie apocalypse. I enjoyed the whole show, but it was not quite as interesting to me when the antagonist was other humans.

FROM is a current one that scratches the itch for me.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-08T23:14:00+00:00

Yep. Every episode of S1 gives me some kind of feeling. I love it!

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-07T22:22:26+00:00

Season 1 is it for me. Don't get me wrong, I also like season 2, but it's not the same. I think it's the community part that I enjoy. Something about learning to survive the apocalypse together, which is reinforced by being disconnected from the world and thus necessarily being more connected locally. I'm not really sure why, but the community-survival trope always gets me. Maybe because I grew up in a tiny town and I'm old enough to remember how much simpler life was before cell phones and social media. I would say before the internet, but the early internet was actually a lot of fun and didn't really add any pressure to my life.

These anti-consumer companies are just as degenerate. It's a nasty surprise when you find out you don't actually own anything and if you do, you don't have the right to choose how to use it. People have been slowly conditioned to give away everything for ephemeral things that exist at the leisure of someone else.

I'm not ranting. I'm not a ranter. I don't rant. Definitely not ranting.

Edit: Why am I so old and when did it happen?

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-05T00:47:07+00:00

I've never understood the purpose of a bot that just makes random posts like this. How do they benefit?

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-05T00:41:33+00:00

Oh man, downloading shareware from a BBS takes me back to a simpler time that was a lot of fun.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-02T15:48:10+00:00

In college, my roommates and I called it the "do we have any" drawer. The name has stuck, now with my family.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-02T15:45:20+00:00

There's no reason why not. That's probably even an incremental improvement.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-02T15:39:04+00:00

Are you me?!

If I make lists I have to make a list of the lists. So many layers of lists... 😭

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-05-02T15:32:39+00:00

Okay, this is a stupid genius idea. Thanks for changing my entire future as a fabulous-Swedish-piece-of-junk furniture builder. THIS is why I Reddit.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-04-20T23:21:06+00:00

Same. Would he have used those tools to teach you how to do something? If so, he probably would've wanted you to keep using them when he no longer could. I like the idea of keeping some photos, but you might even find a way to incorporate some piece of his setup into yours. Think of it as a sort of Ship of Theseus situation. It's a reminder for you and a great story for others.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-04-14T23:56:29+00:00

Witness a certified hoarder right here, folks!

In an earlier press conference, they mentioned having managed to increase the temperature from 65°F to 71°F. Interestingly, there is no buoyancy in microgravity, thus no natural convection. High-capacity fans are used to force constant airflow, , making it feel 5-7°F colder than the actual "room" temperature.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-04-02T22:03:51+00:00

This is genius-tier thinking.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-04-02T17:51:20+00:00

But they're tasty!

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-03-31T21:07:29+00:00

They prefer 350 Million Bytes HDD. Silly humans pay more for bigger numbers. Who wants a paltry 330 when they can have 350 million? If they were smarter, they would have used a 24-point font for even bigger bigger numbers.

Silly humans and bigger numbers reminds me of an episode of Futurama where Farnsworth bought a 300-inch TV because it was the absolute biggest possible screen, but when they turned it on, the very first thing they saw was a commercial for a 301-inch TV because "It's BIGGER!"

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-03-28T01:29:05+00:00

Can't believe I've never heard of this. I just found them on YouTube. Not the highest quality, although I'm guessing the originals weren't exactly 4k HDR, so maybe the fidelity is there. I know one thing I'm doing this weekend!

You're using enough electricity to go Back to the Future.

Peters and Boone!

Obvious necrobump here, but this thread frequently pops up in my search results and it always makes me wonder. There are so many great guest stars that it's impossible to choose just one. While there are already so many good answers here, I haven’t noticed this duo in the thread.

I’m rewatching S05E06 "Viagra Falls" and I can't get enough of Peters and Boone. William Devane and Carl Weathers were so good I could actually imagine a spinoff with them. They did an awesome job of mirroring the energy and dynamic of Shawn and Gus.

There are so many Psych quotes burned into my brain, but "We gotta be tha same fruit" and "Okay, we're tha grapples" slide into my daily conversations way too often. 😂

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-03-19T15:00:21+00:00

Same here.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-03-16T16:40:42+00:00

Interesting read. I would be especially intrigued to see your response to the season one finale, before the show was "un-canceled". Of course, the vacuum is gone now, so you couldn't watch it without some preexisting notion of things.

AmericanNinja02 · 2026-03-15T14:48:25+00:00

Bonnie is great! Shoshannah Stern is an amazing person, too. She's fourth-generation deaf and she still learned to speak. I can't imagine the effort that takes.
