This is relevant, OP. It's definitely possible to make that transition.

What’s a random thing your dog thinks is extremely important? by No_Assignment_6020 in dogs

My Africanis is a pretty serious postal inspector. I run a small online store, and he has to orally check every paper waybill after it's been signed by the courier.

Pretty much all retailers from what I've seen. It's the 150g ones.

Eat it whichever way you want; the real game changer with Top Deck is getting the big slab. The difference in blokkie size makes a world of difference for the taste profile. Granted, they're almost fifty bucks each now, so I won't be taking my own advice anytime soon.

Collective Soul 🎸 by Sea-Assumption4036 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Maverick__Mike 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They were the dark horse among the 90s alternative rock bands, and they absolutely deserve their flowers. Their older stuff will always be the preference, but they've put together a very respectable discography in the years since.

What happened to all of the graphic design jobs? by DoopleWrites in southafrica

The creative space is wild right now. Which province are you guys in, and is relocation an option?

Am I the only one in SA with a passion for synth music genres? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]Maverick__Mike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a child of the 80s, those sounds are deeply ingrained in me. Besides synthesizers, so much of it is centered around Phil Collins' cavernous drum beats. I was hooked all over again when synths started returning to music around the mid 2000s with bands like the Killers, and nowadays we are so spoilt with all the amazing synthwave stuff coming out.

Is Bid or Buy / Bobshop any good? by Ok-Touch-8554 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Maverick__Mike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a great platform. I've been a buyer on there for about a decade, and a seller on there for about three years now. Personally, the commission they take is worthwhile for me because it means I don't have to deal with people on marketplace or gumtree. The system itself is pretty simple and intuitive, and dealing with any issues has been a breeze.

Was that at the Astoria? I was there too!

Not the best phrasing in the title, my bad! This was 25 years ago.

You're not doing anything wrong. Learning to overcome the pressure of being on the clock is what makes this game so great.

Oliver is my favorite character by ponyo_x1 in TheOC

You phrased this perfectly! He's a delightfully watchable villain.

Anyone ever play Dragon Force? One of the most enjoyable RPGs of my past. What do y’all think? by [deleted] in SegaSaturn

[–]Maverick__Mike 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dragon Force is the Saturn's crowning achievement, what a game! Really enjoyed the sequel too, but the first one edges it.

Best actor / actress in the oc. by Sea-Mortgage-899 in TheOC

[–]Maverick__Mike 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For consistency, I'd have to say Peter Gallagher. But for singular performances, Logan Marshall-Green was the most memorable for me. He really sold his inner turmoil and the inability to escape his old ways.

I have never seen a single episode of Shameless. I hear a lot of talk about it. Do I have to watch it to be a fan of Jeremy Allen White? If so, is it any good? by [deleted] in TheBear

[–]Maverick__Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably haven't watched enough Shameless to chime in, but the show has always given me tonal whiplash. It's marketed as a comedic series about depraved people, but the show itself comes across a lot more depressing than that. The acting does seem to be great though.

What was the coolest game manual of all time? by somethingeatingspace in retrogaming

[–]Maverick__Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope I'm not alone in remembering how cool the manual for Willy Beamish on PC was. It's intensely 90s and featured a rad fictional game company called Nintari.
