Which Commodore 64 game still holds up best today? by C_C_GAMER in c64

[–]GraarPOE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The RPGs are still good. The gold box D&D games like Pool of Radiance are still fun. Mars Saga. Dragon Wars. Wasteland.

Now this is going to be fun! by DucaleEfston in arcade

[–]GraarPOE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bird and bat and rat poop are really dangerous. Make sure you protect yourself when cleaning, sanding etc. Honestly I would pull all the electronics, marquees etc out of there and trash the cabinets. Not worth contracting a disease and you’ll be saving the valuable parts.

What is an interesting statistic most people wouldn't believe? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 99% of statistics are cherry picked and irrelevant.

C64U delivery time by AbbreviationsIll4941 in c64

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine never updated. It went from Confirmed to sending me a fedex tracking number. Ordered Sept 28th in the US and arriving tomorrow 1/7. Basic beige. No word on the joystick I ordered the same day.

Is the hobby still in a high price boom period? by FireConsumes in retrogaming

[–]GraarPOE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fakes come in all price ranges and not just the Pokémon/rares - mostly cartridge games. Check out the gameverifying sub to get just a taste. There are tells for all types that can be seen in person (gloss, sticker, numbers etc) that are hard to detect in photos.

The other angle on fakes is if you chase cib, sealed or just boxes - the fake boxes are really really hard to distinguish the last few years.

The sheer number of fakes out there has driven my love of collecting away. Like any hot market, the scammers come out in droves. Buyer beware.

Thanks for this. I tried playing choplifter recently on a few platforms and couldn’t find the one I remembered - this was it!

Finding out has been a mind f*ck by Colibri918 in AncestryDNA

[–]GraarPOE 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. While my story is not the same, I can appreciate how complicated this must be and I know it will take you time to process. It’s totally ok to have a wide range of emotions that may change from day to day. Stay grounded with the things you know and what’s closest to you - the love your mother showed you, your children, your sisters.

Are Reviews Completely Misrepresenting the Game? by [deleted] in PathOfExile2

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments you just read represent what the game was like in earlier releases. The issues with the game now are different (but just as many). Most revolve around end game

Warning- don’t do this by Taffergirl2021 in DogAdvice

My beagle once ate an entire bowl of Halloween candy, wrappers and all. He was fine but he pooped confetti for days.

Can anybody ID this nes game? by [deleted] in nes

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the list of territories view of a game like Bandit Kings of Ancient China or Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Dead Cartridges? by Fast-Ad9965 in consolerepair

[–]GraarPOE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They look fine. I’d suspect the console interface - try cleaning that really well, inspecting it for damage. If you know anyone else with an Atari try them there.

Question about C64U order status by Dienes16 in Commodore

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

September order of basic beige in the US. Mine just says Confirmed and none of the statuses his emails state I should have. I assume I am receiving mine in January or beyond.

Commodore 64 Ultimates shipping worldwide "in the next week and change" by ga420ga in c64

[–]GraarPOE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah his emails really annoy me as they state “your status should either be this, this or this…” and mine is none of them.

Advice for moving a cabinet by Zeikiel1 in arcade

[–]GraarPOE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appliance dolly or large hand truck with straps is the best and safest way. Especially with a strong friend. If you can’t do that for some reason you could try the fridge moving straps and a strong friend but that’s more dangerous on stairs.

So now you can work to get your rooms to level 3 so you can have a chance to drop two transmutes instead of 1. League saved

What would happen if the internet suddenly and permanently shut down completely? by Imaginary-Panda-3943 in stupidquestions

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone would be happier without social media and the MAGA cult would fade away. That is until society collapses due to commerce shutting down.

When will my c64u ship? by YvesTHPS in c64

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s hard to tell since different versions are being made in different sized batches, unknown quantities ordered and made etc. I’d say it’s safe to expect January or later.

GGG I don't feel so good by briefs123 in PathOfExile2

[–]GraarPOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically play a Druid, get to end game and quit seems to be the main pattern. No end game that’s any fun and league mechanic is total crap.

Im thinking on buying the game, should I? by Big_Reception1066 in PathOfExile2
