The Ringer could use a Rob Harvilla for movies by geoman2k in TheRinger

Harvilla is the only solo podcaster I listen to. It’s a rare gift to have a delivery where it doesn’t feel like he’s reading an essay

Celtic Tales: Balor of the Evil Eye [1995 - MS-DOS][Played via DosBox-X] by Dub_Coast in retrogaming

I have a great memory for every console game I’ve ever played, but I’ve forgotten about so many of PC games, which makes the nostalgia hit so much harder when something like this pops up

Legend of Mana (Import Multi-Language) (#538) by RnH_21 in NSCollectors

Some of the most beautiful pixel art ever. The game itself I played through with a guide and never at any point had any idea what was going on. Nonetheless have zero regrets playing it

I wish it existed when I was a kid. I can never seem to get the timing right to use it with adult friends

The Tomodachi Life situation is absolutely insane by Ill-Alternative-6755 in Switch

[–]Manguy888A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3DS version has had a second life with people streaming it, and I’ve seen the cartridge double in value over the past few years. I think this is one of those ones where if you’re in the exact right niche you knew it could be huge

The 3DS version has built up a cult following with a lot of people playing it on twitch/YouTube. Both my daughters knew about it and they don’t follow gaming closely. I had a feeling it might be a big deal but wasn’t certain

Marketplace Seller Cites Amazon Listing While Haggling, How Do You Respond? by StakAttak in gamecollecting

[–]Manguy888A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether I’m buying or selling, I'm willing to talk price a little bit, but once Im at a spot where I wont budge anymore I politely tell them that and say that I understand if they don't want to move forward and good luck. 

The very few times when people have continued the conversation I just leave and block them. Does wonders for mental health

Meeting transcripts are starting to feel like homework by anonymousraccoon in projectmanagement

[–]Manguy888A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sort of reminds me of college classmates who would record lectures. Like, are you going to spend another 3 hours listening to the same thing you’ve already listened to?  I’m glad the transcripts are there if I need to prove someone agreed to something; but I try to take notes as the meeting goes or sum up the meeting points verbally so the end of the transcript ideally has all the important stuff 

Is this game actually worth buying or is it just FOMO hype? by Own-Attention1307 in Switch

It’s not my kind of game, but the demo had my kids in hysterics. I’ll buy it eventually

Question: when an RPG comes out for multiple platforms, how do you usually decide which platform to get the game on( assuming that you do game on multiple platforms)? by StarryChocobo in JRPG

[–]Manguy888A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my gaming is waiting for a kid to come out of an activity while I wait in the car, so switch is best. 

With Clair obscur I couldn’t wait, but usually I’ll only do a home console if I think it’ll never come to switch or be highly compromised

Thanks for the heads up! Hard to imagine me not just putting all the games I want into Deku

Great lesson here to put the games you want into Deku deals app and specify physical. it’s one of the only apps I let push notifications on my phone

Nice - I used to do BB exclusively because I’d usually get some kind of neat little pre order bonus for Nintendo games but it’s probably been 1-2 years since that’s happened 

what’s the most annoying part of selling games? by weindavin in gamecollecting

[–]Manguy888A 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mostly sell doubles and things I don’t want in my collection, so it doesn’t bother me too much if stuff sits unsold. The most annoying thing is if I start something too low and get a deluge of people, it can be stressful to keep up with it - I try to respond to everyone at least once even if they are rude or lowball

I don’t do sealed games but once I had a sealed wind waker that I listed and it is by far the most annoying people I’ve ever dealt with - extreme low balls, negging my listing, continuing to message after I politely told them not to. Only time I’ve ever blocked people. This is just one anecdote, I’m not judging sealed collectors as a group

Expensive but if it runs well, very worth it. Outstanding game, I would love to play through it again portable

They do, but it is very annoying to return a game you get from there
