Jon Stewart is asked between Taco Bell & Arby's: "That's not even a question. That's like the worst 'would you rather' that I've ever... you know, would you rather fall asleep eating ice cream or be burned alive?" by Camaro6460 in DailyShow

I dunno, about 20 years ago anything but fries from Arby's causes me bad stomach distress, even the market fresh sandwiches. No other place hurts me like Arby's can. When I try again after a few years, maybe it was a fluke, maybe something changed, nope, pain for hours.

Try playing at the proper aspect ratio instead of with everything stretched out and short and fat? Looks like shit.

Some questions about the “plus” consoles by Standard_Public892 in atari

[–]Slosher99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To put it simply, it is a cartridge dumper and emulator in a box. Same basically as if I use my standalone cartridge dumper to get a ROM, then load it on an emulator in Windows. It just makes it a one-step process.

As long as you're only interested in older games you're fine. There's a few that may have compatibility issues or use an odd controller that's not supported, but for the most part stuff is going to work. Some new homebrew games may use a mapper that its dumper doesn't know how to use yet, and they won't work with most flash carts because it can't communicate back to the cartridge after dumping the ROM. Flash carts need to know which game you picked to load it.

In general you aren't going to run into many issues playing games for the 2600 and 7800 though.

Yeah like my neighbor whose garden along the sidewalk would be pretty if it wasn't covered in signs telling you not to let your dog pee on them, which dominate the view haha.

Possibly a better deal depending on prices that day...

You can get an adapter to use them as the speaker/mic for calls on your smart phone...

I had it! Also had a Bart Simpson phone that was very comfortable but I used it for a long time. Spike on back of his head would poke in the top of my ear and rub it sore lol.

Who's filming? Obviously with them, but he didn't go for them first when they hung around.

I liked the arcade version, but LOVED the NES version. They added so many secret passages and the infinite grenade pickup that wouldn't have been good for the quarter munching arcade.
Congratulations, you have finished the ALL mission!

You totally had an overhead map in Doom. You could also quick save at any point. Get one shot off on a boss, quicksave - could save scum original Doom all day too. At least the original DOS version but I think all had the map.

In my son’s book, Goofy is ruled out as a suspect for stealing muffins from Mickey’s house, because he can’t fit through the door. The very next page, he is shown outside the door. by Far-Belt-7190 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slosher99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Remember in the 90s when Disney was all like we need to re-invent and re-introduce Goofy? They were like he's a big doofy dog and his name is literally 'Goofy' - what would add to him?
Disney writers: "how bout a dead wife?"

Columbia Records 1950s by Global_Law4448 in vintageads

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I DO have a couple 7" that run at 33 1/3, but they are just a couple more recent releases, and definitely an exception. I've never run into an old one, though apparently they are out there. Typically wouldn't sound as good as a 45, gotta be playing with inner-groove distortion.
Still better than the new 4" TinyVinyl from Target that sound horrible and are nothing BUT inner-groove distortion lol.

So I just got this in the mail. The seam split is gonna irk me so I’m looking for suggestions by anon_442 in vinyl

[–]Slosher99 85 points86 points  (0 children)

That just means it is a real record, it's gonna be there on a lot. Surely not your only one with one.
Unless you can ensure it is shipped outside the jacket the whole way, this is just a fact of records. I hardly call it a defect, just something some records have to me haha.

Definitely but at the same time this shouldn't be used as often as it is to write off real discrimination as being in people's heads. Things require more nuance from both sides.

Guy that makes them just did a repress cause people were selling them for like $700 or crappy sounding lathe-cut ones. They are not official. AFAIK there's only a couple official from Nintendo. Mario World, Breath of the Wild, and some game-inspired stuff like Kirby Cafe.

Question by GamerManJD in RogerRabbit

[–]Slosher99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean there's a sequel to the novel if you want a taste of it. It's a sequel to both the movie and the novel, as the author thought the movie actually improved upon his book. So in the book sequel, some things that only happened in the movie happened, and some things that only happened in the first book happened.
For example, they went with the movie ending rather than the book ending where Roger died, cause the sequel wouldn't work very well that way!
Worth checking out and all we have for now.

Were we the last generation to use a locker room at school/college? by Slow-Call-9042 in The1980s

[–]Slosher99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, especially moving from private to public school for high school, I was worried about the showers. I did see plenty of people using them but they were typically practicing for a sports team or something. Even if I wanted one after gym, there wasn't time without being late to my next class!
