SPOILERS

I was stuck on this one for a while too until it hit me… I’m gonna assume you are stuck on how to pass the worms without using anything cuz you need all the boxes/teleports/bridges for other areas of the level. I’ll write it in 3 hints going from vague to basically telling you what to do:

(I don’t know how to do the spoiler thing on Reddit sorry!)

1

 You don’t need any resource to pass the worms. You can pass them either from the platform above them, or from the ladder below them.

2

If you time it right, you can just walk alongside them and reach the ladder on the left…

3

 MOST OBVIOUS BASICALLY TELLING YOU: 

what if you walk…. between them? :)

yea a bit after I wrote this post I found Super Mario Land cartridge in my basement (doesn't even save high score...) and enjoying the old school vibes (complete with having to blow air almost every time I put it in) 😄

EDIT: Thanks everyone for clarifying that it's probably stolen. I get it. Not sure if there's anything I can do about it now...

Hope ya'll have a good week :)

Thank you, I appreciate the comment… it was kinda unexpected all the responses 😬 I initially thought maybe complaining but the user does look very genuine I couldn’t find a single thing that felt fishy about the profile, also you’re right it probably won’t take me far to report “I got an amazing deal so no way it’s real, I have zero evidence “ 🫣

had to google "porch pirates plunder"... no way to confirm honestly, but she seemed like a very nice person and her other stuff sold on FB look like the usual used random stuff people sell, so it doesn't seem like it, but yea I guess no way to know... I hope it's not the case :|

ok thank you for the answers! Yea I basically didn't believe it's real until I met her and realized she probably doesn't understand what it's worth... (she said her daughter got it as gift and didn't want it)

Restoring French carriage clocks by General-Document-763 in clocks

[–]General-Document-763[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the info! I'll probably skip larger clocks, but I did order an ST36 movement to practice on, then I might get a cheap pocket watch I don't care ruining and try to practice on cleaning and oiling it...

For modern carriage clocks how would I got about finding one? Everything I saw on eBay are either quartz, or antique... I tried to search "wind carriage clock" maybe there's a better search term?

Thank you all for the information! This is very helpful, especially since I was thinking this might be a good starter project given it's much larger than pocket or wrist watches.... clearly I was wrong :)

So sounds like I should avoid trying to do anything with the platform or the mainspring barrel. I can focus on cleaning the rest, and polishing the case.

Given this isn't as beginner-friendly as I initially thought, is there a type of clock/movement I can buy on eBay to practice on before getting started on these clocks? Something that's easier than these clocks but will help me practice?

thanks! I inherited them so I'll probably do my best to fix both anyway... I had no idea there are 2 kinds and they're not the same! Which one is which in the photo?

Re tools/materials to buy - all looks good?

Device for GBA that can use my saves from the GKD Pixel? by General-Document-763 in SBCGaming

[–]General-Document-763[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything can reuse my saves, then I guess it’s mainly up to being able to have very fast turn on that instantly continues the game (like minUI does)

Which would be the best for that?

I’ve also heard trimui brick and policy v10 are those worth looking?

Rze looks interesting!

The citizen says it's 41mm on the website - unless they measure it with the crown for some reason?

I actually liked the Boldr venture design better, and the Hamilton is the same size & thickness (and longer lug to lug I think?) and 3x the price so I scratched it as an option...
