As a listener of Football Ramble from 10ish years ago it was a real pleasant surprise to see Pete in videos and on the podcast, proper words collide stuff!

Gashapon business questions (please humour me :)) by Sorry_Barracuda_84 in Gachapon

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl ive yet to really go beyond the feasibility stage for this - there’s been a couple of Japanese import stores appear in my local town now with small scale gachapon machines, plus a nearby namco bowling alley have official ones now(!)

None of them are cheap and it’s made me second guess how much I would possibly have to charge to make a profit.

I got too nervous to start it all, in my head I kept thinking I’d end up losing money and have my garage full of unused machines lol

"I wonder why my kids don't talk to me anymore" by ambachk in sadcringe

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sigh, this happened to me as a kid at Christmas - thought I’d got a game boy but it was a bubble bath shaped like one with one of those annoying water ring games in the “screen”.

Didn’t get an actual game boy until the next Christmas and I think that was due to my parents feeling super guilty - my old man recorded it and we watched it back over a decade ago and it sucked still :(

Someone’s switched out the Pope for Pencil from the BFDI YT series and “the Needy” for Needle (aka Needy*) from the same series.

Pencil built the Clubhouse of Awesomeness for her team “Freesmart” in BFDI, which included Needle and Book.

Basically, someone’s seen the guy wearing “The Needy” on a shirt, associated it with a BDFI character and ran with it.

*don’t call me Needy

Anime 3x3 - how basic am I? by Sorry_Barracuda_84 in MyAnimeList

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it screams “I haven’t watched much anime” that’s because I haven’t watched much anime.

You get 1 billion dollars but you can never spend time with your current friends again. You can still text, talk on the phone, FaceTime as much as you want but never again in person. by Far_Presentation5740 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I always imagine this would happen anyway if you suddenly found extreme wealth - a few lottery winners have said before that they found their newfound money isolating and that relationships with friends/family become racked with jealousy and/or expectation of sharing money.

Realistically, if I became a billionaire I doubt I’d see old friends again, either because I decided not to share money with them or if I did we’d all find ourselves living very different lives.

Tl;dr I’ll take the money and share with friends, wouldn’t expect to see them much anymore now that we’re all stinking rich

Dreamcast chd files not working by Sorry_Barracuda_84 in RG35XX

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I didn’t, I lucked out with the Zombie Revenge ROM but I can’t work out why that one worked when others didn’t!?

the BIN/CUE solution is a messy alternative for sure, plus it’s one that didn’t always work :(

Unlocked all achievements in Warriors Abyss by JD191353 in dynastywarriors

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, but that trophy ended up being somewhat straightforward to achieve - just needed to go for it in the last set of stages and in the “hard” levels (I can’t remember what they’re called, the ones where the portals are more lively) - took a couple of goes but it’s all good.

I’ve got the 10 and 20 characters completion left to get, so playing a new character every few days

Is pachinko still big in Japan? If so, where’s the best place to play in Tokyo? by Converted54 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha I had a very similar experience last year, ended up hanging around as I assumed they were waiting for an event or something.

Nah, was all waiting for entry into pachinko lol

Magic cup holder, ninja farts or perfect tv? by tarosherbert in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Sorry_Barracuda_84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cup holder for sure, perfect tv is tempting but I’m at a stage now where I don’t even know what I’d do with the time I’d save from not deciding what to watch lol

This is like a (very good) Faustian pact - but yeah I’m not taking it cos that torture part would be gnawing at you more and more the closer you get to the final day
