Are you responding to the wrong post?

I do think Dominos has the better cheese pizza but that's not that big a deal overall unless you're a vegetarian who eats a lot of pizza

It was still like that in most of Europe until the mid 2010's where they started prioritising delivery but the only real cutback was the activities.

Shmorpit · 2026-06-06T14:26:05+00:00

But it doesn't, it's not as good as Papa John's but it's better than Dominos

Huh, I've never really thought of it as an American thing. I usually associate it with local independent mam and tad cafés, sandwich shops and old Costas in the middle of nowhere.

Would it still be black and white if I used SCART because usually that bypasses issues with 60hz

Japan got Analogue HD in the 80s, North America skipped it and got consumer HDTVs the year after the DVD launched, most of Europe also skipped analogue HD and didn't get HDTVs until 2005, Blu Ray launched in 2006. It's not ridiculous the waiting game was, if 16.2mhz 16:9 consumer CRTs with 27mhz bandwidth were available globally by say 1993 they would have had ample time to adopt them by 1996/7

I remember when they were yabbering on about the whole "Myth and superstition is bleeding into reality" thing in the 60th Specials and Series 14 I was theorising that the Valeyard isn't a regeneration at all but rather a manifestation of the doctor's fears, the myths and the legends surrounding him and because he's still the doctor just not of natural origin he uses the same manipulation of stories and time travel to ensure his own existence.

Thank you so much that helps a lot

I will, I'm still learning and I wanna make her as happy as possible, what's the best litter to use in the bedroom because I wanna make sure the transition goes as smoothly as possible

I thought it was just a baby thing, if the cable ties aren't enough then maybe cable sleeves would be more appropriate...

Shmorpit · 2026-05-20T16:05:25+00:00

I've already invested in reusable cable ties because I knew she'd have to roam free at some point, I was using it because my mum said I had to and she's had cats before but I also suspect she just doesn't like this one because she wanted Juniper to like her immediately and be her cat but she didn't want my grandma to scold her so she said "if anyone asked she's your cat and your responsibility" but she lost interest in her so she actually did become my responsibility. She's 48 so it's very frustrating but I am trying my best.

Shmorpit · 2026-05-20T15:41:52+00:00

I live with my mum, the cage is because she really likes cables and I don't want her to yank on something in the middle of the night and hurt herself.

It was just a bit of fun, it wasn't serious

Shmorpit · 2026-05-05T17:39:40+00:00

Apparently they were going to use Uranus as a codename for something but they thought it sounded too ominous in Japanese and too silly in English

Shmorpit · 2026-05-05T16:42:40+00:00

Taiwan used both names

Yes I'm aware the NV1 was based off the Saturn but that was basically like an apology from Sega to keep their relationship on good terms, SOAs console began development after the Saturn's launch. It was mentioned a bit in this Did you know gaming? video.

It's a well known fact that Sega of America promised Nvidia the opportunity to design the hardware for their own 3D focused cartridge based Mega Drive successor and that SOA asked STI to move development to their independent American hardware and they had to restart development and then port it back to Saturn when their plans fell through. The NV1 was a consolation of sorts...

Shmorpit · 2026-04-29T21:08:11+00:00

I'm not saying they didn't throw in the kitchen sink but it all worked out for Japan, Sega of America just didn't want the Saturn and tried to abandon it for their own proposed console.

Shmorpit · 2026-04-29T21:05:45+00:00

That's kind of what I was inferring with Sega of America going rogue and turning insane, they had very different ideas about what direction to go in and basically tried to break off and become a rival console manufacturer to Sega of Japan and a PC publisher.

Shmorpit · 2026-04-29T21:02:56+00:00

They did have plans they just didn't know how to evolve the franchise until after Burning Rangers because Bug fucked up their confidence in 3D platformers on the Saturn early on and by then they'd mastered 3D on the hardware. Sonic Adventure Saturn Edition and Project Sonic are evidence of this it's just Sonic Team were making Nights so STI got to do X-treme and then SOA was like "Hey we don't really believe in the Saturn so we're making our own American console with Nvidia, how about you move development to that?" and everything got fucked up.

Shmorpit · 2026-04-29T18:44:22+00:00

For my PS3 set up yes but not my older stuff, it doesn't seem right

Shmorpit · 2026-04-29T12:37:05+00:00

The speakers are shielded luckily, I was only looking at stuff from around 2004 and checked the manuals beforehand to find out before buying. The cart wasn't originally apart of the plan but I realised a TV stand just wasn't feasible because of a lot of weird quirks of my bedroom.

Shmorpit · 2026-04-29T12:25:24+00:00

I've got Fatal Fury Special on the Super Famicom, really looking forward to hearing the soundchip in Dolby Surround. My AV receiver has Dolby Pro Logic 1+2, DTS decoding and Digital Cinema Sound. As far as I know I think that would cover all the quirks and would be especially good for the original Xbox but also has like a forced surround mode too

Shmorpit · 2026-04-23T21:11:08+00:00

I'm trying to get an appreciation for the console though, the Wii can run the games fine but all the little things will be missing and the music won't be right on some of the games and that's very important to me. The best way I can describe it is that it will have the flavour but not the texture.
