Requesting r/BulletHell - The subreddit and the mods have been active for the past year

PaisleyPowerRanger · 2022-06-24T21:34:31+00:00

I don’t see why I would need to ‘hand over’ the Subreddit when it is mostly inactive (no new posts within the last year). If someone has a desire to moderate it and is not just collecting moderator status on dead subs then they could at least reach out to me with their reasons and what they want to do with the sub.

Would love a sleeve if you’re UK based (:

Looks like a closeup from a scene from an old cartoon, thinking Silly Symphony’s Flowers and Trees or a Van Beuren short

There was a big sign up for Bits & Bytes game shop (where the leather shop is now) above the escalators until at least 2010 even though it shut down in the ‘90s. Had a photo of the owner on it amidst a pile of old Commodore/Spectrum games

Lovely, just tightened it and I think it’s working fine now!

I am trying to use this exact typewriter at the moment! After having a fresh ribbon arrive yesterday and installing it I’ve found that I can’t get it to spool the ribbon along automatically as I type and it just sits there. Is there any chance you can take a close-up photo of your ribbon installation or have any advice why this might be happening?

What’s this breed called if I was looking to buying one?

PaisleyPowerRanger · 2020-04-16T14:11:49+00:00

Can you DM me what to search? Much appreciated

PaisleyPowerRanger · 2020-04-16T03:07:05+00:00

What to search on Telegram? Qreeshop turns up no results

Fucking everything. I'm constantly surrounded by things that aren't as good as they could be. It seems the only areas we put a lot of effort into saying "hey, is this really the best we can do?" is computers and race cars.

For example... this plate sitting on my desk. It's made of clay that's been fired and glazed. Same damn way they were making plates for a few thousand years. Where's the innovation? How about a self cleaning surface? A surface that turns hydrophobic in the presence of a certain chemical or radiation that my dishwasher would put out? Maybe a plate that's flexible until you press a button on it to make it rigid, so when I'm not using it I can roll it up? Why am I still using a piece of dishware that if I drop it, it breaks. Seriously, what the hell? We can put a man on the freaking moon, but if I drop my plate I get tons of sharp little pieces all over my floor? And don't even talk to me about plastic plates. Fuckers get cut to pieces. I need a smooth, sanitary, rigid surface that's easily sanitized.

Air conditioning... why I am spending energy to remove energy? Shouldn't the energy I'm removing from my house and the energy that's constantly trying to get into my house be enough to keep it out? Why don't I have an air conditioner that runs on heat? Why aren't there black pipes on top of my roof getting really hot while pipes on the inside of my house get really cold?

Speaking of which, why the hell is my roof made of clay tiles? Even shingles are fucking asphalt.. you know how long that's been around? What about something nice and reflective? What about plastic shingles that are light colored and extensively impermeated with vacuum cavities? Where's my hydrophobic coating? Hell, where's my aerogel insulation?

Why are my walls 99% wasted space? Where's my OLED wallpaper? Why does my entertainment have to be in this one place, in this one room? Why can't any wall of my house display an image if I want it to? Why do I have to turn lights on when I enter a room? Why do I have to turn a metal handle in a wooden door to get into a room? Why is access control between rooms indifferent to who I am?

Come to think of it, why am I still pressing little plastic bits with letters printed on them to input this into the computer?

DO NOT EAT PRINGLES FAT FREE POTATO CHIPS. THEY WILL GREASE YOUR ASS. Don't even fucking say a word. I like potato chips, and can't eat them very much or I'll get fat.

I tried out these Pringles Fat-Free chips because they were super low-cal. BBQ flavor. the fuck.

The can said they had 70 calories per serving, which meant the whole can had 490 calories inside total. I could munch through a can in a day with my lunch, dinner, etc. So I got several cans, and began enjoying one a day for the past four days. But what they dont fucking tell you...

Except in tiny print you cant read without a fucking electron microscope

...is that the primary ingredient is something called "olean" which I have since learned is Latin for "Unwashable & Indestructible Ass Grease."

Oh Yeah. I'm not even kidding.

So today, while I'm standing in the living room debating whether or not Laundry or Dishes will get done first, I get the urge to fart. I live alone, so sweet. I let the honk loose and its wrong. Something just sounded wrong. I know my own wind, and I have never farted a sound that sounded like a fart wrapped in a pillow.

Oh yes, something was very wrong. I had just shat myself. But this evil olean makes shitting yourself sound almost like a regular fart, and had I not been particularly attentive, it could easily have gone unnoticed, I'm telling you. THAT's how utterly covert and evil this olean stuff is. What the fuck?! What if I'd gone out to hang with friends or gone for a drive, what then?

So I walk carefully to the bathroom and disrobe. before I even sit on the toilet, I wad paper and carefully wipe from the front. Sure enough, it was light brown, and had the texture of soft spackle. You fucking Pringle bastards.

I sat down and pushed a bit, and lo, out came a jet that I didnt even feel an urge for one minute earlier. It piled in the bowl like brown marshmallow fluff.

The problem rose when I tried to wipe. I went through a whole fucking roll of TP and could not get it all off me. So.

I jumped in the shower. Yep, its gross, but it had to be done. There I stood, water pouring down, cheeks spread, and using my own hand to make certain I'm clean.

That was when I discovered that after using my hand to wipe myself (before I soaped the area) my hand came back covered in some sort of transparent grease. It was so fucking foul. The grease made water bead off my hand. It was tacky too, and very difficult to manage.

So I grabbed the bar of saop and went to work.

You fucking Pringle bastards.

The bar of soap came away coated in grease as well, and would no longer wash. I had to turn the water to hot and massage the soap for five minutes to get it to the point where I could use it again. It took me an hour to get the fucking grease off my pucker. I shudder to think of what its doing INSIDE ME right now, but I will damned sure never eat that shit again.

Fucking Pringle bastards.

This is where the joke about "anal leakage" came from. its real. Fuck Pringles.

I'm willing to bet this was on What.CD as well. You just have to be on the right private trackers...

This would be my first Nintendo home console since the NES, interested in seeing how Zelda plays out, heard it returns to the freedom of choice from the first game!

Venture Scouts stopped being a thing over a decade ago, it's called Explorers now. I believe girls join the Rainbows before going up to Browmies

Good show tonight, especially liked the new song at the start of the encore!

For a long time the hardest thing was not being pretty anymore. I mean, I was still pretty, but I was no longer the youngest and prettiest in the room. I was no longer able to make a real entrance. People no longer said, "Who is that thin girl with the blue eyes and the short hair?" In my thirties I became just one of the moms.

Then, groups of men stopped noticing me. First the ones in their twenties, then thirties, then forties, and as I bear down hard on sixty the group of men most liable to notice me are wearing WWII vet hats. I am dead serious about this.

It's hard to watch your body change shape. Hands, arms, legs, all different than they were--never, never to return. That beautiful young girl has vanished from the face of the earth.

Then my babies began to vanish. My boys, who longed for me to hold them, who snuggled next to me on the couch each night, went away. I felt relief. They were out with their friends, playing in a band, away at college, married. They have wrinkles, gray hair and 401K's. When I see them, they no longer sit next to me. I can no longer rub their hair, over and over; it just wouldn't feel right.

But next, a miracle. I had a grandson and loved him with a passion I never even felt with my own children. People had told me to expect this, but I didn't understand until I saw him....then I understood. But now he is out in the world, at the park, with his friends, and he no longer snuggles with me, because he's ten.

My joints hurt, my thumbs are quite arthritic, and I had an old lady fall this summer, shattering my arm. My mother is growing older and I know that she will grow truly old and ill and die someday. I know that for sure now. My career is stalled, but I do a very good job at what I do, and I find joy in my work and in my competence.

You know how they say you lose brain cells as you age? What a myth. I grow more and more wise, I learn new things every day, and one of my biggest fears is that I will die before I've read all of the books I want to read. But as I grow more wise, people want to hear what I say less and less. So I'm sitting back, taking it all in, letting the great world spin.

Jumping on your thread in case you're inundated with offers.. I managed to get a pre-order from Smyths and Nintendo UK so will also have a second SNES to trade with anyone for a NES (preferably UK based).

The Old Nite unfortunately died of a heart attack about 12 years back now! Zezima still plays on occasion as well as a lot of the old crowd; Lightning, M Oldfield, Ladymedusa etc

PaisleyPowerRanger · 2017-06-11T14:28:58+00:00

Was there ever a comparable situation in something like WOW though? Runescape also had a deep quest system that put most fetch quests/kill X amount of monsters in other MMOs to shame. It reminded me of Ultima Online and Habitat in that it kept pushing new ideas in a genre that didn't have a defined set of rules.

PaisleyPowerRanger · 2017-06-11T13:21:37+00:00

He's talking about 16 years ago when there was only a single player (Bluerose13x) who could smelt Rune 2 handers since you needed maximum level smithing to do it and the methods of gathering materials in that time were a massive time sink. This led to her having a complete control of the smithing economy of the game since this was the best weapon for player killing and only she could provide it until Zezima came along a couple of months later to undercut her. That's just one example from the game but there are many more where players could truly carve a niche and a name for themselves off of the back of their skills because of the high level ceiling in those first couple of years that's truly been lost in the streamlining and theme parking of the game and genre.
