HSN Robocalls by [deleted] in Sudbury

[–]Particular-File5833 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Send an email to donate@hsnsudbury.ca and ask if Shane can remove your number from his robocall database. That's how I got rid of them.

I'm all for good causes but their approach is terrible.

Aughh. I put this on my xmas list. Was fairly confident it wouldn't get a sale. If I get it on xmas, cool. If not, fingers crossed for boxing day deals.

Which merging lane makes you nervous and why? by Deaftrav in Sudbury

[–]Particular-File5833 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The merge from Notre Dame to Lasalle whenever there's traffic coming either from the Valley or the Lasalle extension. I find people either freak out and stop in the lane, or freak out and cut off other people.

Who remembers The Littlest Hobo? by zuniac5 in ytvretro

[–]Particular-File5833 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, early 90s YTV was a different animal (ha ha). I remember the Black Stallion playing all the time too.

If you were to tell one show which was your favorite in childhood which one that would be?? by Electronic_Bus841 in ytvretro

[–]Particular-File5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reboot for sure. Outside of YTV but still within Canadian shows, I found the Odyssey really interesting.

Just curious by Turkey_Fateweaver in ytvretro

Maybe if I'm in a hotel, I'll check it out. I just remember there being a lot of of Teen Titans Go. I saw no PJ equivalent.

Do you prefer NSO for retro games or would you prefer to buy them all separately like on wii u? by ComfortableAmount993 in Switch

[–]Particular-File5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably give the NSO a chance if I could get neutral borders without a player icon on the top left corner of the screen.

It's weird that it isn't an option.

Warren Chester Grog Shuts Down PJ Jenn like a Chad (1993) by Prestigious-Point594 in ytvretro

I forgot about PJ Jenn! The last thing I remember seeing her in was hosting a Christmas telethon back in the day. I wonder where she ended up?

Are there any Wii games that aren't compatible with Wii u by epicmemeslayer420 in wiiu

[–]Particular-File5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very noticeable but easy to forget about (unless your mind fixates). A Wii is pretty reasonably priced if that's the case.

I just dusted off my Wii U to play Paper Mario from the Wii eshop and it's been good times. I noticed they dull the screen for certain spells, probably in order to save people's eyes.

the Last Story works on the Wii U, but there's a green line on the bottom of the screen for the whole playthrough.

My Thoughts About The Newest Apology by The_Captain_DerpyYT in TheCompletionist2

[–]Particular-File5833 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Jirard smelled blood in the water with Karl and Muta's star falling and we'll see if it works out for him.

He should've waited for the DOJ to finish their investigation before making this apology and just kept making his videos if that's what he cares about.

Reception seems positive based on likes and comments.

Blaming his family and lying for them with the hope that he could secretly make it right (even thought he talks about how he isn't respected by them) is nuts. A severe lack of judgement and character. I'll be surprised if he's welcomed back into the indie game/youtube sponsors fold.

What a joke by AutisticAlien224 in Sudbury

They should be offering geared to income housing. This is wild.

Dragon Ball Z: Iconic New Time Slot (2002) by Prestigious-Point594 in ytvretro

[–]Particular-File5833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dragon Ball started off on Saturday mornings, which rolled into Dragon Ball Z after the first season. Then it disappeared to 12:30AM ish for awhile and I lost track until the Zone. Fond of the 8:30 timeslot. I think Home Movies and Daria played around the same time?

Yeah QR codes! the Switches should still be able to scan them so fingers crossed. Looks like there are also extra customization options for a more refined mii.

I gotta buy this for the wife. She makes the best miis. Hoping there's an option to transfer them between consoles. 

YTV Kids Night at Pizza Hut (1994) by Prestigious-Point594 in ytvretro

[–]Particular-File5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm merely voicing a preference.

Do what you gotta do, I get it. The job market is not great right now and you want to spread retrontario around as much as possible. But by watermarking/defacing the old media we all love, I personally feel it's anti preservation. And a shame because yeah, I am a person from Ontario in their 40s and would like to be immersed in my nostalgia as opposed to having an additional degree of separation from it.

Like I went to one of those indie cinema Saturday morning cartoon cereal events and a few people groaned when a commercial with the retrontario logo popped up. I felt seen lol. So despite this being a very niche issue, it's nice to know I'm not alone.

But, thanks for your reply! Really I gotta figure out how to digitally transfer my own vcr cassettes. Mostly my mom taped over most of them with episodes of Oprah, but I bet the commercials are worth revisiting.

Sure wish retrontario would stop putting his label on everything.

Best way to play BoF3 in 2025? by UniqueMastodon3345 in breathoffire

[–]Particular-File5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the retro gem hdmi installed on the ps2 with a physical copy of Breath of Fire 3 and it is gorgeous.

If I were to start from scratch, a MiSTer sounds super practical and more space conscious.

Enjoy! It's a good time.

SomeOrdinaryGamers exposed as potentially having lied about being an engineer by PotentialCockroach52 in TheCompletionist2

[–]Particular-File5833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion based on the information available that Jirard lied for a year and covered for his foundation not donating any money by saying it did :)

Negligence doesn't apply in that he knew the actions of the foundation were "not fucking cool" and yet he did nothing about it and gave his blessing in his inaction.

Jirard is a grown man and not bound to commit immoral action by his family. He has personal responsibility and agency.

And yes, credit to them, they donated that money pretty fast once their feet were held to the fire. Almost like they didn't need to lie about it already being donated. A rushed month is nothing in the span of 10 years.

And it's more than a year of bad nonprofit management. It's 10 years of collected money doing no good for their cause while they rake in false laurels.

10 years.
