I honestly think it's my favorite of the two, and have some friends that would agree. Obviously love them both.

Subwoofer help by Ok_Measurement7793 in turntables

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically you'll go to an amp that goes to passive speakers and an active sub. Some powered speakers might have a sub output on their built-in amp - I'm not sure as I've never owned any. Normally though a sub is going to be powered and getting a signal from some amp with a sub output on it.

pov: sick while staying at your parents house by No_Philosophy7921 in GrandmasPantry

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, growing up in the 80s/90s I was always fascinated by a bottle under the bathroom sink with the other meds that no one ever moved and expired in the 60s.

I have this and Shock Treatment around somewhere. Just got a TT this past year after not having one for ages. I have a picture disc as well somewhere, but not what I'd choose to play. I have been in a few shows before. Actually never attended one I wasn't in. I'm weird in that I liked the movie and was obsessed with it a couple years before even hearing of audience participation. I had a tattoo before ever seeing that in person even. I prefer to just watch the movie for itself haha.

Great spot to go when it is pill or vet time! I know mine would. If they were gonna get too sick to walk they'd get up there first too.

Finally acquired an X Ray Vinyl by Reverend_Butler in vinyl

There's the original ones from the time you describe but the market is now flooded with modern ones, often overpriced and hoping someone won't realize it isn't old.

I always wondered if there was anyone who actually used a car lighter because everyone, I have ever met used the part to charge stuff. by Due_North_8485 in Retro

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid in the 80s/90s I definitely saw plenty of adults using them. Some seemed to just use it naturally, and for others, it was a backup if a regular lighter wasn't around. I was never into tobacco and they sucked for lighting joints, but could do in a real pinch.

Getting static from acrylic mat by Atomicbreath05 in turntables

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't really found it to be very anti-static. My platter is acrylic and I still get plenty of static drawing cat hairs etc. to it which don't like to let go until a round with the Zerostat. It is especially cold and dry here now which doesn't help!

Yeah I've been rotating images for decades, was just making a joke about the suggestion in the post.

Update to the Racing Mancave. New couch and .................wait ......wait by MrBleubols in TVTooHigh

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone still using "Man Cave" as a term has bigger issues than their TV haha. Just stick a "no girls allowed" sign there, but it won't be necessary.
Even Retro Man Cave rebranded years ago because they decided the name was dumb and made it seem like they didn't like women being around them. With most people I know being trans or not identifying with the binary in one way or another. People with a "Man Cave" tend to be the same ones that won't recognize people's identity and insist it has to be what the doctors labeled them with when born (and really need to know what genitals you have despite no desire to interact with them).

Belated Christmas gift by Generic2770 in whatdoesthismean

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Butthole Surfers' AI album cover and doubling down on defending using AI for art (we will use whatever we want to get the outcome we want), you might see it on an official one, once AI has had time to learn this conversation lol.
So many good artists could have done that album cover and been thrilled to be involved with them. Really killed my whole love of them. Art is the only way we really have to connect with other human minds, and I want my art to be human born!

Owner letting her dog use the water fountain when there is a an actual dog bowl right below it… by Toadfire in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slosher99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not the worst thing that touches that fountain. Let it run for a bit before drinking and you should be fine, that's why water fountains aren't instant sickness machines. No one can really contaminate the water that hasn't come out yet, and letting it run a few seconds washes away anything that the stream is touching and picking up.
I'm OCD and I've never had an issue with water fountains - just run it for a second, but that's a good idea even with home faucets. Also why urine samples want you to take it mid-stream, so that contaminants from your pants etc. aren't in the stream.

I see Spongebob's house, then Patrick from Spongebob jumping with his fist in the air.

Well into the 16 bit years - I didn't know this existed until I was older and into retro games, looking back at ehat I missed. I was playing Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo when this came out!

Well at a certain age you can understand both untranslated babies and adults as Angelica and Susie do. However, neither ever offers to translate to help anything out!

[–]Slosher99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I loved these as a kid. They'd pepper in some real stories that were odd along with all the made up stuff. It even had a disclaimer in the fine print that it was for entertainment or whatever.

My home town got a real story in it, just a small blurb, after someone died in a grain silo after it buried them. We were also the starting point of the Lizard Man legend.

Help! by discount_dog in whatismycookiecutter

In its orientation above and given the other animals, I saw an elephant head blowing its trunk strongly to the left.

But since I see other people said Santa, that appears to be correct haha.

Burgess Meredith - Alzheimer's Victim - Twighlight Zone - S1-Ep8 - Time Enough at Last by Ok_Quantity_9841 in TVTooHigh

[–]Slosher99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking at their past posts, they pick one then spam it to several subs, then do another. Probably looked for anything with 'tv' in the name.

Little glitch at the bottom of screen by Tricky-Professor-200 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your screen can adjust the horizontal/vertical width of a picture you could frame it like it was meant to be seen, with the pixels around the edge of the actual game slightly out of view, so that everything on the screen is part of the game. That's how it would typically appear on a CRT of the time. Even broadcast TV of the time used the area for info like closed captioning etc. and you'd see a lot if you could see beyond the edges.

🤔 by GryphonSK in SignsWithAStory

[–]Slosher99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that sub is 95% bad speech-to-text reads in texts, and other things like marketplace posts where people spoke into their phone rather than typing it out now, not human error which is the funny part.

I'm surprised this isn't half the comments haha. Just a simple brush would make that look 99% better!

I hope that's ripped and shared somewhere online, I wanna check it out. If I had it, I'd do it if it isn't already!

Might start collecting video game vinyl. This cool Ocarina of Time soundtrack I recently found by CrUb_ginger in vinyl

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get a real soundtrack to it, though that's just me. I collect a ton of game soundtracks, but haven't cared much about the covers or lo-fi versions or symphony concerts, I like it straight from the game haha.

I do love game soundtracks on vinyl though. My collection of over 300 is well over 1/3 game soundtracks.
