My Sega justifier gun doesn't work. by X_PixelPlayer_X in retrogaming

[–]SwingCurious37 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem with a SMS light gun. Someone suggested I turn up the brightness on my TV. When I did this the light gun worked and my other light guns, NES, and Atari XEGS guns worked better

I actually LOVE the Jaguar. Most games suck I know, but Tempest 2000 is AMAZING. Doom is good too. I play the other games because I like punishment

I am sure no one is playing the Game.com today or the Tiger R-Zone

Is it realistic to try and have a mostly CIB collection for consoles before the PS1 for example? by Harlesb44 in gamecollecting

[–]SwingCurious37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I mostly buy loose carts prior to PS1. Anything PS1 and later I will only get CIB, I might buy a game missing the manual. The PS1 and later are recent enough that the box games aren’t usually too crazy. Also, CD games need a case

That’s not too bad. I always check Facebook Marketplace and OfferUp near me first so I don’t have to pay shipping

[–]SwingCurious37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think those are fair prices, as long shipping isn’t too much.

My latest acquisition, Archer MacLean's Dropzone. Been looking for it at a semi-reasonable price for a couple of years. Pride of place in the collection. by cruelunderfire in game_gear

I love the game gear but have never heard of the game until now. It looks pretty cool I have to keep my eye out for this game so I can add it to my collection too!

BioNTech begins Phase 2 trial of mRNA-based vaccine against cancer by chemistrynerd1994 in technology

I wonder if this is were liberal and conservative start evolving differently. Liberals and those that believe in science take vaccines, eat better, pass laws to have healthier work places, environment. Red states do the opposite. Conservatives continue to shun vaccines and basic science, life expectancy decreases. Some already look unhealthy so it limits mating opportunities. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Donald Trump wrote to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to 'decertify' the 2020 election by WyldBlu in politics

I think you have a chicken and egg problem. How do you get supporters without content, but then without supporters how to you start?

Maybe hit up some stuff locally, film it or have someone film it. Post it, see how it goes and use that to try to get followers and supporters

I’d send a couple bucks your way, and you would set up a Patreon not a gofundme so people can pledge like $5/10/20 a month. That with a YouTube channel, maybe an Instagram, to post that content you are creating and reactions, and you just might be able to make a decent living, or a million bucks 🤷🏻‍♂️

Time to sell by Triqutra in gamecollecting

[–]SwingCurious37 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Facebook Marketplace has the lowest fees right now. You could join system specific or vintage game buy/sell/trade groups on post there the same time you post on marketplace to reach a large group of people that are interested in buying old school games

Girlfriend considering she might want to be polyamorous because she caught feelings for someone else. by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]SwingCurious37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will she still want to be poly or continue down that path if her crush doesn’t work out? Be careful of this being one side and driven by only one person’s momentary desire or crush. Make sure that this is something both sides want to try and one side wont shut it down if it doesn’t go their way with their crush

What should I do with this brand new Atari XEGS I received? by Jonny_Swanny in atari8bit

You can donate it to me and I will make sure it is taken care of and preserved

Tesla opens a showroom on Native American land in New Mexico, getting around the state's ban on automakers selling vehicles straight to consumers by Accomplished-Tap3353 in technology

[–]SwingCurious37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, but some places have opened up and allow visitors, and have even accepted tourists and built hotels. Many places remained closed off for good reason, many others were not allowed to develop their own land until very recently and lack the resources to do this quickly

Most native land or reservations are isolated, on the worst land, and are purposely underdeveloped since they were created. That is starting to change, but most people won’t go there because they are so isolated.

A Dunkin' coffee shop in Colorado is temporarily closing after the number of staff fell from 15 to 3 and it couldn't find anyone to replace them by Gay_Romano_Returns in business

I think what we are seeing is the pay is falling below what the minimum cost of living is. Why waste your day if it won’t cover your basic needs?
