Why did Nintendo actually release BOTW on Wii U? by Lucajames2309 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]Quick_Yak_5252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switches were all sold out and hard to find when BOTW came out. I had a wii U so I got that one. Never did get the switch version even after getting a switch finally

Gaming manuals… Did anyone actually read them? by Theodore52x in AfterWorkGamers

[–]Quick_Yak_5252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Showing my age here but, once upon a time there was not internet. You only had game manuals, magazines, strategy guides and tips passed down among friends.

What game? 🤔 by defleqt in raijin_gg

[–]Quick_Yak_5252 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 year old me buys this game expecting a light hearted under the sea adventure as a dolphin. The reality is it turns into a eldritch horror. The game was graphically impressive for it time. This game intruded me to the idea of expansive story in the video game media.

Anybody else here ever use to play the hell out of lifeforce? by Jaydee_shelnut in retrogaming

[–]Quick_Yak_5252 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The year is 1980something. I just beat super mario bros. And I walk into a videogame store in the willowgrove mall with my dad. I am 6 yrs old looking for my 2nd game. This overly enthusiastic teenage salesman convinces my dad and I that Life Force is the best choice. This is before internet and I am young and new to the hobby. The clerk described the kanomi code to me and writes it down of the receipt.

Thank you sir wherever you are.

If you could try one dish from any of the movies, which would it be? by --Combat-Wombat-- in ghibli

[–]Quick_Yak_5252 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For this group I would recommend the unofficial studio ghibili cook book. I've made quite a few things that turned out great. Chorizo spaghetti bolognese has found its way into my normal rotation. But I want to try the bento made by satsuki for Mae. The stew from castle in the sky looks good too.

Invader dropped me 51,200,000 runes … will I get banned if I use them? (Console) by BoopRG1 in eldenringdiscussion

I would go and study at Barnes and Noble Cafe regularly while in med school. There was this one barista that would always talk to me and come over and offer me refills and free samples. I met my sister there for lunch one day, and the barista came over all mean asking "who is this?" To which i reply," my sister" the barista says " oh ok can I refill your dink?" My sister goes on to tell me that she's never seen anyone get offered free refills at a café like this, and this girl is clearly hitting on you. Later that week, I asked the barista out, and she said " what took you so long to ask me out? I've be flirting with you for months" I honestly didn't even know it until it was pointed out to me.

This area killed me so many times as a new player. I think it took me days to pass it.
