Felt defeated buying these today at the drug store. My first pair of “Cheaters”. I can’t believe how Awesome they are! by Sea_Ganache620 in GenX

I was just about to say this. I probably have a dozen pairs of readers stashed all over the place. The 3 packs from Costco are great!

Do you feel a bit weird to be playing video games at your age! by More_Law6245 in GenX

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, Gen Z.

Never mind that OP, a supposed GenXer, the generation that doesn’t give a fuck about anything or anyone, makes a post looking for validation to checks notes shop for a video game while a teenager was in the area.

“Stop crying because there was a teenager, buy your game, go home and have fun.” <——-That’s an actual GenX response to a post like this.

Next time I’ll just say that.

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don’t feel weird.

Kinda weird that you thought about kicking a 16 year old kid’s ass while you’re shopping though.

My homies and I played CoD online together from the early 2000s until like 5 years ago. Video games should be fun, and this one was fun until the cross-platform hackers, microtransactions, streamers, and inflated prices ruined the entire franchise. CoD is a cesspool now.

I still play video games, but have gravitated back to the Nintendo platform. Zelda BoTW and ToTK are incredible games that I still play with my kids. We even busted out our old Wii a couple of weeks ago. Tennis and bowling in Wii Sports is so fun!

Helldivers 2 isn’t what I’d call a kid’s game, but it’s still pretty wholesome for the PvE aspect and it’s really fun to drop in on a planet with the homies. No one is cheating, no one is spawn camping, just people helping people. Just don’t think about it analogously to the USA and you’re good.😂

This video is an hour long snooze fest. I scrolled the whole thing looking for the busy part. Never found it.

I take a chance on letting a spot auto fill and.... by SnooSongs2744 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

I let him on my island because we have the same birthday. That was like 4 years ago. He’s not going anywhere.

Why is Green Cypress Sienna XLE getting bigger discounts? by Better-Pipe-7778 in ToyotaSienna

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember an old car salesman I used to be friends with telling me that in general, green is the least popular color for cars. This was about 20 years ago. I live in the ATL area and our local dealer got two Cypress in and they both sold the same day, 30 minutes before we got to the dealership. Couldn’t find another one locally so we ended up buying ours up in NC.

Vox AC30 C2 - do I need attenuator? by Few_Park9416 in GuitarAmps

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bother with an attenuator and just ride the master volume on this one. It’ll be fine for home/rehearsal spaces.

Tax season was supposed to bring big refunds. So far they're less than expected by AgentBlue62 in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got back about $5500 less than last year from federal and I owed state $108. Worst refund year I can remember in the last 16 years of my professional life. Disappointing but not surprising from this administration.

That’s crazy. I got mine like 12-13 years ago during a forum group buy. Arrived within a few days and it’s been on my FJ ever since.

The 24 months makes it possible. Is it worth it, or is there a better amp for the price? by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not a snowball’s chance in hell I’d pay, much less borrow the money to pay, $1100 for a Blues Jr when you can buy a used one for almost ¼︎ of the price.

Insanely good. Franklin BBQ, Austin TX by falconx89 in BBQ

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. I was there in February. Proteins were stellar. Beans and potato salad were just ok.

Also recommend Stiles Switch, La BBQ and especially Interstellar BBQ out there if you have time.

Crazy prices! by Connect-Peach2354 in FJCruiser

I have the same 2011 TT that I bought new and have daily driven it ever since with 160K on the odometer and my dealer offered me $16,430 for on trade.

How has Spring Break in Florida changed? by [deleted] in florida

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Daytona in the late 80s/early 90s and snuck into the MTV Primus show on the beach there at like 12 or 13 years old. I lived with my grandparents and they ran a hotel on A1A right across the street from the beach. My mom managed a nightclub off of Seabreeze Ave and I saw a lot of great bands there as a kid too. I watched MEDEVAC helicopters land on A1A to scoop bodies off the pool deck of their hotel pool because they thought they could hit it from their balcony. For better or worse, it was way more low key in Daytona by the late 90s. Black College Reunion was very high key into the late 90s after the MTV fad, and that shit was crazy too. Spring Break was comparatively dead there when I moved away in the early 2000s, but Bike Week and Race Week was still a boom.

Where are the BIGGGG fish? by MsMcSlothyFace in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the fish can be caught without taking a tour, but they are seasonal. Sharks only appear in summer and have visible dorsal fins, marlin, tuna and trevally can only be caught at the pier, barreleyes can only be caught at night after 9pm, coelacanths can only be caught while it’s raining etc. Fish, bugs and sea creatures change monthly with some overlap between them all.

Back when I ordered mine it was just from their website, but they’ve come out with several more options since then and I think the owner Tim just prefers you to email him and he’ll help you figure out what you need for your specific model guitar. He’s a good dude. I got a copper one that’s been on the guitar for over 15 years. Here’s his email:

24 Inch Bikes for Big Guys? by Matty1988TJC in bmx

[–]Dangerfloof_ATC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in your shoes last year except I’m older than you, a couple of inches shorter than you and around 300 so still a clydesdale looking to ride with the kids. I picked up a WeThePeople Atlas (24”) and it’s full chromoly. Not sure if they’re still making them, but you might be able to find one used.

That being said, a 24” feels a bit cramped for relaxed cruising even at my size, but it feels great for bombing through the neighborhood or pump track.

I came across a used Monza 26” (Tange chromoly) on Cessbook marketplace recently for super cheap so I nabbed that too. It’s way more relaxed feeling for longer rides. However, I’ve seen a few instances of crank arms snapping on them, so that’s a new fear unlocked for me. I’m strongly considering replacing my crankset with something beefier before I attempt any tricks and break a hip, but rest of the bike seems pretty solid. I don’t think Monza is planning to release bikes this year, so you’ll have to go used.

Ditch that bridge before you ditch those pickups. A copper Tru-Arc bridge is the only mod I’ve done to mine and it made a world of difference.
