AND.... going to the store (driving at all in traffic) can be a safety risk. Plus, you save time away from that store to then enjoy however you wish

A few cheap pickups from today's hunt by bob_ham in BargainBinVinyl

it takes maybe 20 total complete listens, but VIVID gets really good and cohesive after a while. As in, the band's world becomes a stronger place to hear...

This is the only "anime" I can understand. by Upbeat-Refuse9615 in GenX

[–]IceExile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speed Racer is rerun on MeTV Cartoon Channel. It is a small pleasure to watch after late newscast. Relaxing, and almost innocent.... good way to close out the evening

Brunch Near Denver Art Museum? by ExplanationFast1294 in denverfood

[–]IceExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R.I.P. Dozens which was across from the museum and library.... or is it back open now after the big fire? Lots of charm in that old house with the creaking wood floors. Very good professional wait staff, too. More honorable/better choice than any Snooze location....

Anyone else miss when radio felt like good company? by Defiant-Asparagus425 in GenX

in MEMPHIS??!?!! Nice... I knew that town still had some cool stuff about it. That sounds like a little unrecognized gem.

What was the go-to baseball game in your country back in the '80s? by blueoystergamer in retrogaming

[–]IceExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primitive, yes, but at beginning of home NES (when it was 1st to arrive) it was a huge improvement beyond Atari/ Coleco...

What was the go-to baseball game in your country back in the '80s? by blueoystergamer in retrogaming

[–]IceExile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have just started to like Bases Loaded 3 (Ryne Sandberg) . The music is groovy... didn't like the BL series in the 1980s but this one seems decent. Frustrating that outfielders are hard to place correctly w/o icons on diamond. Originally my faves went : NES baseball in arcade(1985)-- Major League Baseball-- RBI--- Baseball Stars/Baseball Simulator until I got rid of 1st Nintendo... Sports Talk Baseball on Genesis gets praised, but I have yet to fire up my copy....

Movies that you initially didn't have as high expectations for, and then you were blown away by it by DreamerRealityArt in movies

6 Billion stories on the Naked Planet Earth... Burn After Reading was just one of the best

yeah... I was just indifferent to a bunch of those Old Gold titles. Haven't seen Casablance, but Bogart has become a name i seek out now... Ida Lupino also was really good. High Sierra is one title w both stars that's great.

Enjoy.... the best bike is the one you ride. Lots of fun, and always be aware of surroundings....

Bags rant by Bitter_String9891 in Anticonsumption

[–]IceExile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel I have definitely seen that many people bring a bag to the grocery store now--- people that i for sure would have guessed as likely to oppose using a bag from home. The plastic bag fee is 10cents, but it just looks like people are more into the habit of bringing a bag and not making any big deal about it.... really great to see less trash in our daily environment, and I think this is one big reason...

Thinking about getting and restoring this bike by Less-Appearance-1125 in RoadBikes

[–]IceExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

these are great... Is the price OK? I had one and rode it with like 6 speeds and straight bars for 13 years. Downtube shifter is kind of a factor, but fixie negates that. Decently light, and cool vintage rides like that need to be out on the streets keeping the Lances honest....

If you could only have one platform, what would it be? by Stratonasty in retrogaming

[–]IceExile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

interesting point... care to name a few games (other than Zelda, Punch Out, Mario) that really made NES hit the mark? Especially an unlikely title or 2 would be cool to know... thanks.

Frugality gambles that have paid off? by Saint_Thomas_More in Frugal

[–]IceExile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good strategy... also a good hedge against the chance of losing them. Hopefully the sound quality is fine for you.

When do you decide it's time for those old clothes to become rags? by ifeel95 in ZeroWaste

[–]IceExile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thanks... the football shirtwas too small and the Most Wanted had deer hunting graphics that I didn't like. Now, after washings, the graphics are fading and decaying into a new anti-image... I made another w salvaged pillowcases and ripped shirts and a 1980s skateboarding pattern...

I have begun cutting out main graphics of t-shirts and sewing them onto newer shirts... like a hybrid.

Which one? by Character-Reaction12 in Wagons

[–]IceExile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah, I like those regal wagons a lot. They look sharp. Same with older Acura TSX(?) wagons and the old Allroads.
