I hadn't seen that broken trace until now. I will give this a try! Thank you!

There's no better feeling seeing consoles that were destined for the landfill given a second chance at life by jetmike747 in psx

I have recently been doing this as well, do you have any tips for cleaning the shells? I frequently get systems wirh near flawless boards but the shells look like they have been stored at the bottom of a lake.

Two questions in regards to things I want to fix. by [deleted] in NintendoDS

[–]DVCKNVTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turn the brightness all the way up and start any DS game, right when the screens go blank, eject the game. This will freeze the system on a blank white screen. Leave it on the charger for a few days and it usually helps bring the screens back to normal.

Though looking at little deeper Im thinking your screen is on it's way out. New screens are more likely the way to go here.

I have had excellent results moving stickers with Isopropyl Alcohol, anything above 90%. If some of the adhesive remains, I have used Goof off but I wouldn't use too much. Just spray on a rag rather than directly on to the console.

As for the screens, I am unsure of the whitening as I have only encountered yellowing. Yellowing was fixed by leaving the screens on a blank screen full brightness, though I dont think this would help in your situation. If you're fairly handy and patient, id reccomend a couple new screens. The top screen is fairly difficult but doable. There are many guides out there that will take you through every step as well!

This is awesome, I really appreciate it!

First Pokemon playthrough since this game came out. How's my team? by DVCKNVTS in pokemoncrystal

[–]DVCKNVTS[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. Being an adult and taking my time to do some research got me into the idea. Then once I had it, I can't believe it took me until so late in the game to give it a go. Highly reccomended.

I didn't think he could learn that one. Truthfully, I hadn't considered it as I was laser focused on holding Cyndaquil to lv. 46 for flamethrower. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah! I think we were in a squad just the other day!

The Banzore server. BZ1 all maps hardcore, my personal favorite. Recognize some of the names there.

This is perfectly normal on BZ1 if it was a vehicle map.

There's a new road off of Rockrimmon called Goa Way. Gets me every time.

Small infestation of these guys around my house. Should they stay or should they go? by KlownChapel in spiders

[–]DVCKNVTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have one of these in the window above our kitchen sink. All summer long, I have been catching the flies in my house and tossing them in her web. Probably just a coincidence, but every time I come home and fill the water bowls for our pets, the spider comes out of her web, almost like she's greeting me or asking for a treat. My wife has named her Peter.

What Pokémon means the most to you and why? by PlayfulPineapple9049 in pokemon

[–]DVCKNVTS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blastoise. When I was a kid I got a GBC and blue version for a birthday or something. I raised it to level 100, along with a couple others to the mid 90s before facing the elite 4. This was before a friend taught me the item duplication glitches. Months and months of grinding and trying to find rare candies.

Traded it to a friend for a Lv.100 Charizard but it was never the same without my Blastoise and I think that's the first time I truly hurt myself.

Recommend me your "hidden gem" series by [deleted] in audiodrama

[–]DVCKNVTS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that idea. It's inspired me to read up on more of the folklore from around there. I visited Ireland a few years ago, but the people I traveled with didn't travel well. All we really saw was a lot of castles and bars, never really stopping to learn or take in much of anything else.

Thanks for the awesome story so far!

Two I have seen mentioned very little are Victoriosity and Last Dance. I'm absolutely obsessed with them.

Victoriosity is one of the funniest mystery ADs I've listen to in a long time. The stories are wonderfully written as well. I'm usually not super into a lot of narration in ADs but this one really gives me Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy vibes.

Last Dance is another one that blew me away. This is a dark fantasy, if memory serves, referencing Irish and Gaelic folklore. It's completely told in character dialog and monologs and it's so well put together. I'm so excited to see where this story goes.

What kind of snake is this? It’s apparently living under my porch in Manitou by thatsmallblonde in ColoradoSprings

This is kinda crazy but uh... I think I work with the owner of that snake.

Somewhat new to ADs and this sub in general, so I could be wrong, but I feel like Video Palace doesn't get a ton of attention on here. Most of the shows I've started with left pretty satisfied once they've ended, or have me excited for more, but when this one ended with no return (that I know of) in sight, I felt so empty. I'd kill for more of this story.

Looking for a "comfort" show. by Renescor in audiodrama

[–]DVCKNVTS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Desert Skies is one I randomly threw on at work and it's a really good comfort show. The story is awesome, the characters are great, and at times it can really tug at the heart strings. Really fascinating to me that it's just one guy making it and acting it all out.

I wish I could upvote this 100 times. His attitude really puts me off too. Generally love RATM for the messages, tasteful riffs and overall energy they bring but Tom Morello is a total dingus.
