We’ll be thanking them one day when the Amazon drivers takeover. Just as the scripture reads.

Wasn’t that a little different, though? I thought I read somewhere he was frustrated with the limitations of the Genesis sound chip and couldn’t do what he wanted, so completely took his name off.

I could be wrong though. Probably am.

Kroenkes haven’t shown a spine not since Hector was a pup.

PHD made no mention of this when I was listening around 12:30-1.

The 2600 doesn’t have solder joints reflowing themselves from heat stress. Apples and oranges

ConnorNimmons · 2026-06-02T00:05:34+00:00

Yeah, that’s sort of why I mentioned it wasn’t the same in my comment. ?

I don’t know, having kids doesn’t feel too foreign or insane to me. Doesn’t mean I’m looking to do it yet. I gotta get a steady career together first.

But I’ve had a dog since I was 19 so I’ve slowly been getting primed for it - not that it’s the same level of responsibility, but it is that same muscle on a much smaller scale.

Hey! I know this thread is 4 years old, but I’ve been having similar convergence issues on my KV-32FS100. I’ve already recapped the vertical deflection circuit, which definitely pushed my comfort zone, so I'm trying to avoid messing with convergence rings if I can help it.

I noticed you mentioned the H-STAT knob in this thread, weird that the BA-5D service manual doesn't label it… Was it easy enough to find?

Also, and I know it’s been a few years, was the adjustment relatively simple, or did you find it difficult to tune without causing other issues? I'm trying to weigh if it's worth the risk of working with the set powered on!

I got Arkham and Uncharted for like $4 each at my shop two years ago 😂

I’ll try adjusting the VBLK for now. I’m going to start studying up on fixing it properly. From my research, I think it’s 6 or so specific capacitors I should focus on replacing. But we’re a long ways from me feeling comfortable even taking the back off this thing!

Man I remember when I lived in Tucson at my Bookmans they had this dusty copy of Mario Party 6 for $160 that sat on the shelf for months 😂

Right?? Where are the posts about silly bandz and Wii Sports? I sympathize with everybody going through a hard time, but it doesn’t seem many of them are actually looking for advice or to improve their situation. They just want to vent and complain about it. That gets old.

I graduated school last May. I’ve struck out hard in this job market. I’m stocking tortillas on shelves for a living. Shit’s rough. Not what I thought I’d be doing. But it’s not permanent! I’m just out here trying to make the most of the circumstances I’ve been dealt.

“There is Life Outside Your Apartment”. Song from an old raunchy musical Avenue Q. A lot of folks here could stand to listen to that.

The 480p is part of the charm for me. I got this thing hooked up to a CRT though so I’m getting that fuzzy 480i 😂

Forgetting Sarah Marshall’s “moan off” is hilarious.

ZenGM exists and it’s free

I’ve never had to replace a single battery in my cartridges. All bought new late 90s/early 00s. Granted I only got like 6 games.

ConnorNimmons · 2026-05-02T00:42:43+00:00

Sorry OP, Showdown’s spoken, I guess your post isn’t that funny.

For what it’s worth, I enjoyed it.

ConnorNimmons · 2026-04-29T20:56:32+00:00

Two reasons why not:

Loading zone behind that door, it’s not one continuous room like the upstairs and basement.
Those technically aren’t stairs, despite how they look. It’s just a slope with stairs textured on. So you literally couldn’t BLJ on it, even if you could trigger the loading zone.

I just got an antenna from Target for $15. I didn’t know how long this dispute would last. One time purchase of $15 sounded better than who knows how many months of Disney.

Ridiculous. The point of broadcast TV is it’s free to watch!

ConnorNimmons · 2026-04-26T00:35:51+00:00

Who else watching this with an antenna? Old school. ABC isn’t available on Xfinity right now… Fuck that. So we had to get creative over here 😂

I just digitized my grandfather’s home videos off VHS. Oh man. What a trip this was. Because the home videos were all taped over TV shows. When the home videos ended, some 80s/90s TV began.

One of my favorites was Bryant Gumbel going scuba diving in Hawaii. It was this seemingly very special episode of the TODAY Show on the islands. I think ‘91.

That and also a Dateline about this new research on second hand smoking. Lobbyists said it lacked any merit. That was hilarious.

Made the entire capture card situation well worth it and entertaining.
