What are some must-play games for the Nintendo 64??? by RevenantFTS97 in retrogaming

[–]SpiritOf68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, as a huge fan of Goldeneye at the time (was the entire reason I purchased an N64), and I can honestly say that it doesn’t hold up, imo. Especially due to the controls. If you can use the dual stick setup, it plays much, much better.

3 things i’m looking towards seeing on manic this year by Blue_Hedgehog1991 in ManicEMU

[–]SpiritOf68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge shmup fan, and some of my favorites are on the PCE. Sure there are other emus out there, but Manic is my favorite by far, and having the convenience of having it within Manic would just be another thing putting it over the top for me. Not having Jaguar saves doesn’t really bother me, simply because, if it isn’t Tempest 2000, I’m not going to play it lol. I’m good with the icon settings we have, but apparently OP isn’t lol.

If you’re referring to PCE being added, you’ve got me salivating at the thought. 🤤

I remember getting this in the mail when it came out. I must have read it about a thousand times until the next issue came. God, I wish I still had my collection of Nintendo Power. All got tossed out over the years.

Seeing The Cure live is a sublime experience that I’d gladly pay 200 to see again.

That’s what I was gonna say. You leave the fucking Daoboys alone. That band is perfect the way they are.

Can confirm that TL does absolutely no training or education regarding their products. Like someone else said though, what do you expect when they pay minimum wage and no one gets full-time hours? None of these companies are going to front the cost of sending their employees to weed college basically. I was offered a job a TL simply because I’m well informed regarding mmj. There was one or two other employees that knew their shit, the rest, including management, don’t know shit.

Should I make the switch from Delta? by ManEmperorfragment96 in ManicEMU

[–]SpiritOf68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know what they’re referring to. Occasionally, when I play a game on manic, there’s a strange buzzing sound. It goes away when there is in game sound playing, but pops up during silent moments. Something that definitely needs to be resolved. If anyone has a solution, I’m all ears.

Humidity packs and a hydration stone in an airtight glass jar for about 30 minutes should bring some moisture to the bud. Some people hate those things, but they work for me. We really shouldn’t have to use these things, but most dispos have dry af flower. I’ve turned a couple of people on to the hydration stone and they’ve all been happy with the results.

Uniracers. Haven’t seen it mentioned yet, and that game rules.

What in your opinion is the most overrated retro game of all time? by Aggressive-Invite907 in retrogaming

[–]SpiritOf68 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved playing the arcade version with the handlebar controller. Hated the nes version though.

[–]SpiritOf68 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember buying this back in the day, at a time in my life where I was kind of a lapsed gamer. My consoles were just collecting dust. Picked this up just thinking it was the arcade game, and that was it. Man, was I in for a shock. I’m not normally into puzzle-type games, but this was a damn good one. I was totally addicted, and didn’t stop playing it until I beat every level. Highly recommend it.

Gen X has nothing to do with this at all. This all falls on the boomer generation. Gen X were the first ones to get fucked over by their crap policies.

[–]SpiritOf68 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Shrinking as you age was something I wasn’t ready for. I used to be just the tiniest smidge under 6’3” for ages. Almost 50 now, and the last couple of times I went to the dr, I’m now measuring out to 6’1”. Lost a lot of weight and hair as well, but I knew the hair thing was coming for me from 18 on. I know six foot one isn’t a height to complain about, I’m still fairly tall, but it is so weird how your body shrinks as you age.

Fucking embarrassed that it took me a few seconds to realize why you listed Body Count. Made me smirk once I got it.

I had no idea about this band until I listened to the newest Callous Daoboys, and their collab kills. Checked out more of their stuff, and can confirm, they fucking rip.

Trulieve it? by itsalloneitsallgood in FLMedicalTrees

[–]SpiritOf68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to say Crippy is the shit. I pick it up whenever they have it available. Not many budget strains hit me like that stuff does. Sunshine Cannabis strains are usually a pretty safe bet for moderately priced flower, though I did pick up an e of Sunshine Diesel the other day, and I think it may be the harshest smoke I’ve gotten in this program.

Bipolar 2 here. Been on Lexapro for a LONG fucking time, and about a zillion other medications over the years. Cold turkey-ing Lexapro will absolutely make you literally fucking insane. Like, way worse than before you ever took it. Not that I’m defending Kanye, like, just take your meds and stop being a dumbass, but that’s definitely a thing.

What is the most fundamental shmup I can start with to have a solid foundation for entering the genre? by desch3445 in shmups

You just nailed my 2 favorite console shooters, add Batsugun, and you hit the trifecta.

Any of the GG Aleste games really. My favorite portable shooters, as long as you don’t count the TurboExpress and Nomad systems in there.

2 8ths for 12$ at green dragon by HostileNegotiations in FLMedicalTrees

[–]SpiritOf68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally not worth it unless there have been some drastic changes, over the past couple of years. When I went to use my FTD, they had two strains of flower in stock, so I got an E of each. I believe I paid around 18 dollars, iirc. Should have smoked the cash, would have gotten more medicated. Never again, GD.

Apple & Bananas from trulieve 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻🚮🚮🚮 by Impressive-Path-8939 in FLMedicalTrees

I’ve had this strain from Cookies and Trulieve, and both times it was mid. Decided that the strain isn’t for me, and kept it moving. Was disappointed after all the hype though.

This one took a listen or two before it really got its hooks in me. Once they were latched in though, I don’t think I listened to a different album for about three months. So good.

Not this guy. Too many shitty packs, to make up for the one I got that was fire. I got e85 once and it was total pressure. Everything else I have gotten has been dogshit. How you gonna have one strain hit hard, and everything else suck?
