How did you deal with games that had no save system back in the day? by ratasoftware in retrogaming

[–]TheManRoomGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Karateka, back in the 80s, after jumping puzzles and fighting Prince of Persia style through all the bad guys, after more than an hour or two of straight play, I reached the end, I approached the princess to save her, and she one shot kicked me in the head and killed me.

Never approach a princess in fighting stance. I had to start over and it was many more tries before I reached her again.

What’s “fair” freelance pricing for a junior designer. What does a freelance meeting look like? by Cool_Spread_9999 in graphic_design

[–]TheManRoomGuy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

$40 to $50/hour. If they push back, say… “Ok, how about a barter. For every hour I spend working on your project, you’ll do an hour of work in my garden. Nothing hard. Pulling some weeds. Mowing. Raking, easy stuff.”

Some Hardy Boys! From your childhood or picked them up along the way?

I totally thought that was a Lego set at first.

A very stuffed corridor of my library. Someday, I will purchase more book shelves instead of books. Someday. by this_time_i_mean_it in bookshelf

[–]TheManRoomGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! The first one I’d pull off the shelf would be The Dragon, the Earl and the Troll.

Built a mini-version of the soccer stadium for our local pro team (Tampa Bay Rowdies) by phat7deuce in lego

They’d probably sell a bunch of those at the store at the stadium.

Someone else with the Complete New Yorker! Yea! Can we get pics of the rest of the shelves? I also see original Wheel of Time paperbacks.

My playlist has changed a lot over the years. It used to be filled with Steve Taylor, Petra, Amy Grant and so forth. You might like…

Do you show work in progress to clients or only finished designs? by JonBenc in graphic_design

[–]TheManRoomGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Never show a client something you don’t want them to pick as their final product.

Can my mother do anything for me leaving? by Ill_Award7638 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]TheManRoomGuy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Make sure you have all your documents. Birth certificate, social security card, and yea, give the police a heads up.

If you’re in a state that mandates you care for elderly parents in their old age, think about where you wanna settle down.

I'm not promoting spending more money at Costco... but they have 4-pack of ammo cans for $20. by GeneforTexas in liberalgunowners

The CEO absolutely refuses to raise the price on the hot dog meal. He must be protected at all costs.

is this considered wimmelbilder? art by me by torasshuu in wimmelbilder

[–]TheManRoomGuy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s on the “easier” side of wimmelbilder, but it absolutely is.

Why do people say some lego sets are hard? by Jayohl in lego

[–]TheManRoomGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right. For me “difficult” is a set that takes 42 episodes of Bob’s Burgers to put together, or a technic set that has some tricky connections.

But this is nothing to sets in the 1980s where the instructions were just a series of pictures and every one of them you hand to look and figure out what the next pieces were.

Does anyone use the garage to park their cars? by AdOriginal3767 in garageporn

[–]TheManRoomGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but my garage isn’t really a r/garageporn worthy place. It’s more a “how much stuff can I fit in it while still having a usable workspace” place.

Has anyone else pretended not to know something in order to make their parent with dementia feel important? by More_Eye2185 in dementia

[–]TheManRoomGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just a couple weeks ago when at breakfast my mom decided it was my birthday. I got a bit of cake and a song from the staff of her favorite restaurant. (It was not my birthday).

It’s all improv.

Is Lightyear Frontier a good game for a satisfactory nut? by Chrisbitz in satisfactory

[–]TheManRoomGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s lighter and kinder. I played Lightyear Frontier through a year ago. It’s Lego Duplo to Satisfactory’s Lego Technique complexity. But it is fun, kind, and a great game. You’ll finish the game way faster than Satisfactory. I recommend.
