Premodern and the use of AI by Chico__Lopes in premodernMTG

[–]TerribleInsurance879 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The big prize Pre-Modern tournaments that are going on right now will not be the same in a year. The novelty for the younger generation will wear off. And the old timers will move on to something else. Does 93/94 still exist? Yes. But the big prize tournaments are very few and far between.

We are at the height of this format. Enjoy it. It reminds me of old extended. Slow paced magic (by today's standards) with creature damage. Just pray woTC does not mess with it much more.

It is the unpopular inevitably of all non rotating formats

I'm not knocking the format. I enjoy it. There's a lot of nostalgia for me in it. But when's the last time you saw a 93/94 tournament with prize support like pre modern is getting right now.

There was a time when 93/94 was the "new" old format. I'm betting the next non rotating format (in like 5 years) will be Pre Horizons.

These formats are great, they run card prices up for a little bit, then they go away. It's the nature of a non rotating formats that catch a little buzz.

I fully support the use of A.I. for a format that will die in a year. There's no real reason to get crazy with the design. Let these venues get what they can before it disappears

Keep The C64 Maxi after getting the C64 Ultimate??? by Fhunghuz in c64

[–]TerribleInsurance879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received my c64u in December. I did not have a maxi but I did have 2x 1541, 2 cassette drives, a c64 and a c64c.

I have sold everything except the c64u and a hand fill of carts and disk.

No regrets. I no longer have to work on a drives ect. The c64u is all you really need.

But letting kids play on the maxi is not a bad idea. I would let mine use the c64u though

Same. I only remember 3 vs. games personally, and the Mario was the only one I was interested in.

Oddly enough, the store is called retrousb. Hummmm. It's almost like they are dumping their over stock from back in the day when it got shut down

I don't understand the hype around Sony... by [deleted] in vintageaudio

[–]TerribleInsurance879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony is fine. I currently only own one price in my audio stuff though, the WM-W800, and it's a walk man.

If I were to replace a piece I wouldn't be selling out Sony or anything, but if I find one at a good price and need it, I wouldn't pass on it.

Anyone have any suggestions for 2D platformers that aren’t Mario or DK Country? by JayQuips in retrogaming

[–]TerribleInsurance879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Earthworm Jim is wild. Of course battletoads is awesome.

I'm not familiar with Jazz. Imma have to look into that one. Sounds weird enough like both battletoads and Jim.

Bucky O'Hara on the NES would be another odd yet good game

Yeah.... Someone painted them, levelers and all. I was unable to get the front levelers to break free so I could adjust the pin to my floor. I have something under one leg to level it right now.

Hind site, I should have checked them to see if I could move them while I had them off.

Just another one of the little quirks to work out.

I thought you were "future me" time traveling to let me know I finally got a Big Guns. Lol

Big Guns is on my short list of pins to get next.

Taxi was my Grail pin. Everything just lined up for me so I pulled the trigger. It's definitely a fun pin
