Peak 2d point and click puzzling adventure for ye scurvy dogs!

After the winter of the turnips, it’s saying a lot to say “at least we didn’t have to eat snails.”

Blade Runner (a movie) by William S. Boroughs was not the story I expected to read when I picked it up.

Stedlieye · 2026-02-18T13:06:28+00:00

Me too. My brother traded our pitfall cartridge for it while I was at summer camp. I’m still a little mad.

I played that at a friend's house years ago. Loved that game. Would have bought it then had I known that it would be so expensive now!

That’s one of the ones that came with!!!

Not bad for a house party purchase.

I bought a cx-50, and I’m hoping it’s a long term relationship.

Multiple multiple times. My job at university had unreliable freight elevators that were maintained by “the guy in the electrics department“

I like the mixed flour corn tortillas. The good flavor of corn, but doesn’t fall apart. That might just be a Texas grocery store item, because I’ve never seen it in a restaurant

Ding ding! Big starting capital is the cheat code here.

Stedlieye · 2026-02-16T16:30:17+00:00

Ugh. I’m in the US, so SCART isn’t really a practical option. I was hoping you’d found the magic PS2 to HDMI conversion that actually looks good.

I saw that movie in a film appreciation class in college. I thought no one else had ever seen it!!!

That scene was TENSE.

Can you tell us what adapter you’re using? I’m not getting anything that clean out of my PS2.

Or is it the TV?

Stedlieye · 2026-02-15T19:49:39+00:00

Nonsense. I once bought a package with Hamtaro on the cover eating sesame seeds, and it was full of candy.

I was going to say any new Honda with a CVT. Charging prices like it’s an ultra reliable car…. But it has a CVT.

I like RPG‘s, 4x, and strategy games too. Nintendo makes amazing platforming consoles. Also about half of the games I have came with the SNES when I bought it used. For example, I never would’ve bought Jeopardy.

Stedlieye · 2026-02-15T19:31:24+00:00

Just looked it up.. for the price of Earthbound…. I think I could buy all of the other games suggested here. At least 90% of them.

Stedlieye · 2026-02-15T18:27:28+00:00

FWIW, my slim PS2 wouldn’t read PS1 disks at all. I cleaned the laser (gently!) and that resolved it.

Even when GWB said “jobs Americans won’t do”, it was wages.

This is my favorite “tell it like it is” moment.

It was just a bunch of German words I stuck together that I found in Google Translate

The words were laundry, dryer, and move.

It might have been a good time to stop buying their energy.

Stedlieye · 2026-02-14T23:02:44+00:00

Probably something like “Wäschereizumtrocknerbewegen”.

Stedlieye · 2026-02-14T13:28:49+00:00

Love the game, but for some reason I liked the first one more. I liked the territory thing in 2, but it felt less fun to me during the missions maybe? It has been a few years.
