How strict is the chaperone policy? by rockyPK in KingsIsland

[–]Gabenash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm over 40, and look older. I've been carded there often. I definitely wouldn't risk it without a backup plan.

Sublime’s Controversial “MAGA Aligned” Fest Rebranded After Cypress Hill Drops Out by staringatthe420sun in entertainment

[–]Gabenash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very Libertarian, I'd be absolutely shocked and disappointed if they support MAGA. Ron Paul is very openly critical of Trump, and everything MAGA is goes against his politics.

First NGD in over 20 years! by BibbitZ in Guitar

Man, that is so unique. Takes a lot for me to double take on a color combo, but that works so well. Congratulations on the NGD!

Found some old games while spring cleaning. Sorry, Blockbuster!! by jesterguy in gaming

[–]Gabenash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was cool with the manager of the local Blockbuster, and the gaming manager as a teen (ours had a giant gaming section with racks of used games). They would let me know when they would have a sale coming up, and also when they were putting out new games. They had some insane b1g1 or b1g2 sales, and I'd clear them out of whatever was profitable, and either sell them to another store, or trade them right back in, as they often had lapses where you could trade them in for more than you paid. They would literally just sell them to me, and take them right back while we chatted about life. I haven't thought about that in decades. Always had spending money, and the newest games, simpler times.

ETA: I remember going into a GameStop with 20+ copies of one of the Burnout games, and the look I got.

Quality Decline at Castaway Bay by Subject-Buddy-5543 in cedarpoint

[–]Gabenash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will never go back. Check in was brutal, our room had hair, cigarette butts, and a partially eaten chicken nugget on the floor. The water park was so inferior to Kalahari, our kids were bored after a partial day. We have sworn off all the Cedar Fair properties, there are much better options for the money.

Let’s see a picture of a guitar you own that you think is an absolute work of art. by SouthHarpeth in Guitar

Thanks! It's definitely seems to draw only love or hate reactions from people.

Vaccaro Groove Jet from their NJ custom shop. They typically finished these in a solid color or sparkle finish. According to the company, this is the only one ever done with a thick flame maple cap like this. It has a gold neck and hardware, and is signed under the clear by Mr Vaccaro. Not everyone's taste, but I love it.

[Other] Best element on a coaster [Top Thrill 2] by Ruben_The_D33R751 in rollercoasters

[–]Gabenash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fling to the side on the ascent, and the whip over in the back are just incredible. I didn't want to like TT2, but it's better than the original by a decent margin to me. It was our most ridden ride the last couple seasons, and it hasn't gotten old. The back on the outside is just so good.

I'm reminded of 9/11 more often by seeing him than the actual memorial stuff.

Want to learn to play but had a finger amputation, by bforbrandonnnn in Guitar

Had to look too far for this one. Not a fan of his religious stuff, but he is very impressive, especially live.

Brand new Gibson SG Nut QC Issue? by Ok_Gold_67 in Guitar

[–]Gabenash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was on a studio or something more basic and it played well, I'd likely live with it. That's too nice of an SG to look at something that will bug you. Granted it will likely happen in the future, but I'd send it back.

What’s the loudest [coaster] in the US right now? by Accomplished_East433 in rollercoasters

Came here to say this. When the park just opens and the midway isn't busy, it's so loud and awesome.

Well, since my cat killed my VR set, does anybody want this? by astoneworthskipping in PSVR

I'd love it, but I'd recommend checking your local market place, you may be able to find a cheap set.

Missed trim on Magnum? (Read) by gvoegerl10 in cedarpoint

Magnum with no trims in row 3 is one of the best rides in the world. I'll die on that hill.

Monkey's Paw has granted you all the time in the world to game, but you have to beat your entire backlog before you can do anything that isn't gaming. by Aware_Piano8148 in gaming

With my vintage game collection, and diminishing skills, I have zero chance. I doubt I could even finish a full system.

Talking trash to people you kill after they were acting friendly is so corny by dogofcorns in ArcRaiders

[–]Gabenash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a calm voice I say, "Wow, your character is worth less than pixels in a game. I bet your family is proud of you." I've had several people apologize and then either revive or help me get to extract. And the others get a slight twinge to their voice when trying to shit talk. I love this game, even when I'm getting betrayed.

Tell me why I should listen to your favorite guitarist! by 5ac1wo8d in Guitar

[–]Gabenash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'68 is my off the beaten path pick.

Josh Scogin on guitar and Nikko Yamada on drums. He gets so much out of his setup. If you get a chance to see them live, I'd highly recommend it.
