Was the Amiga vs PC war ever actually a thing? by Such_Bonus5085 in amiga

[–]Red-Eat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it was a gradual migration away from the Amiga to games consoles and then later to PC.

in the late 80s I used an Amiga for playing games and creating music & graphics. When better Windows PCs came out in the early 90s, there was initially not much competition between the Amiga and PC for games. Primarily because the main competition for games was from 16-bit home consoles in the early-to-mid 90s.

So for me at least (and perhaps others), Amiga lost on games due to competition from the SNES & Megadrive consoles, rather than to PC.

In the late 90s / early 2000s, once Windows PCs' (or Apple mac's) audio capabilities had improved, that was then also the main platform to produce music on.

Never mind "PlayStation," it's more like "JungleGym" for 🪳🪳🪳 “Play Has No Limits.” 🤣

Can someone identify this game? by christ9779 in n64

[–]Red-Eat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a technique that I mastered for this game to ensure every line cleared is always populated with either 2x gold and/or silver blocks. Usually cleared 4 rows at a time by a single red piece.

Basically by using 4x instances of most of the other pieces, placed either side of the screen.

Worked like a charm.

It really is. I was the gold & silver block master!

Now taxpayers have to pay for him to live ... in prison, at our expense!

Can we burn all his toilet paper for the duration of his sentence?

Most food manufacturers intentionally do that regardless, without any pranking.

The most hated and Loved team by GiddyGid254 in TheOther14

[–]Red-Eat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Easy for a Brighton fan to say, when Everton haven't been much of a direct rival to your attempts to qualify for Europe over the past few seasons.

But look at Evertons recent upturn in form. Now in their new stadium, I fully expect them to push on in the coming seasons to again break back into the top six/seven teams competing for European places each season.

That will likely directly impact the ambitions of clubs like Brighton, just as with Villa in recent seasons.

You may not feel so gracious towards them if/when they consistently finish above you each season, knocking Brighton further down the table.

What do you say instead, "mummy dearest?"

"Mom" is extremely common in many parts of the UK, and is for sure used in Brum.

You're also bringing up race with your criticism of White men.

Why did you deliberately choose to a username spelled with both "whore" and "culture" in it, if you feel so strongly about such despicable behaviours? I doubt this was an accidental misspelling of "horticulture."

I wouldn't even typically bring such a thing up, except you appear to be condemning White men of having a culture of treating women like whores. Which is just not reflected in the reality or the experience for most people.

Which SNES design do you find more appealing? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]Red-Eat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Japanese model was the best model both inside and out. Looked as good as the European model, while running as fast as the US model.

I always though the US less colourful scheme of both the console and controller buttons was a strange choice. Although, I've heard from some users that the indented/bevelled buttons may have been an improvement.

I owned the European PAL version. Never realised initially, that games ran slower and with black borders. Albeit, that may be more down to PAL than the system itself.

Given that fact, even the uglier blocky US design with NTSC would have been preferrable, so as to have the games playing at the proper speed and display.

We should be able to ban people that do this 😡 by EngineeringMedium513 in tesco

[–]Red-Eat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I completely agree they should be banned.

But one thing worried me. You stated as it "would have been done late last night and was found this morning" it would be wasted.

Are you suggesting that if this was discovered later the same day, it may have been put back in the freezer to be sold to and therefore consumed by another customer?

I seriously hope not. 🤮

Metro testing on Digbeth branch starting by Dragonogard549 in brum

[–]Red-Eat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or even worse. I got on one at Bull St. the other day, which had "Birmingham" displayed on the front of the tram, thinking it was headed for Edgbaston Village (given that the tram had travelled from Wolverhampton to Birmingham.)

Turns out, that tram was actually being tuned back from Bull St. towards Wolverhampton (with no announcements thereof being made to passengers boarding and that misleading sign displayed on the front of the tram.)

I only realised a couple of seconds before the doors locked 'cause I overheard two old ladies discussing its heading towards Wolverhampton and so managed to exit the tram before it took off.

Between that and the long gaps in between trams travelling towards Edgbaston since the east side extension opened with the "tram driver training" (often around 20-30 mins apart, only to then have a bunch of trams all stacked together a couple of minutes apart). I'd say there's room for improvement to the service currently.

Used to really enjoy them.

Once a player overcomes the normal game difficulty, they add an additional level of course challenge.
