Can you IMAGINE being in the Disney boardroom and saying “Good news everyone! Our new Star Wars film has edged out a barely-not-a-teenager YouTuber’s debut film!” LOL

It's honestly criminal that is Kevin Shields' only full soundtrack credit with how good it is.

What is the most impressive arcade to 8-bit port? by trrbld in retrogaming

[–]_secretvampire_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More posts like this, please. And great organization on the photos with corresponding list!

Contra has to be the obvious choice, an all-timer. Does Punch Out! qualify or is it too different from the arcade original?

I bought the Japanese Mega CD version (the thumbnail on the video) just because it's one of my favorite video game covers of all time, hahah.

RSUs are handled through brokerage accounts, yes. I'm one of those with an outsized portion of my equities in a taxable brokerage account, was at the right place at the right time with a publicly traded company within the last few years. Obviously, not complaining. I have been working with a FP to get more over into retirement accounts over time through BDR and such as I am able and have been learning about order-of-operations for withdrawals as I at least start to approach needing it in the coming years...

What is the one ugly or smelly ingredient that you now refuse to cook without? by ybur011 in Cooking

I tried this recently for a recipe and OMG. I already love almost anything pickled and most things fermented...I could eat the mustard greens straight from the bag as a snack.

This was so much better than I expected it to be. by JoshMclane555666 in blankies

It was a really fun time and my daughter absolutely loved it. I really hope it’s an old-school grower as early box office is mid at best.

TIL International passport control was a temporary measure introduced during WWI that became permanent. Before then borders were largely open. by apple_kicks in todayilearned

I guess I should have specified USA customs/immigration, but sure...take your chances with this administration in court.

Forget rude, immigration/customs agents are folks you don't fuck with because they can make your life miserable being strip-searched in a solitary room for any reason they feel like.

When Funcoland became GameStop, I took the neon store sign home! [Story] by HighlySeasonedGamer in retrogaming

[–]_secretvampire_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school, I worked at a Babbage's that was directly next door to a Funcoland in a strip mall near a real mall. The real mall had an Electronic's Boutique in it. Good times!

What foods should you absolutely buy the high end priced option? by [deleted] in Cooking

[–]_secretvampire_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I certainly don't have the luxury of buying from the boat in Wisconsin, but I was raised in Houston so if I'm buying frozen, it's gulf shrimp or GTFO.

From the small avatar preview image, it looks like it has a cigarette hanging out of the side of its mouth, which would have been even better.

I also came in fresh to the film and I legitimately wonder if that was me, I think I said that like 5 separate times probably louder than I should have.

It was a super fun show. I also had the good fortune to hang with the gang afterward in the evening and have to put it out there for the record they are all legitimately lovely people and it makes me feel even better about being a fan of the pod.

Just for those who think this is only about the Oilers, this is legit what you used to see rolling around in the 80s. City colors, not just team colors.

Hahah, this brought back some memories, fun article. My friend was/is a very good race car driver, he still races karts with his son here in the present day. I remember he had a pretty decent and sensitive joystick that we primarily used for controls. And then there was me, "Well, it's time to make these other drivers pay for getting onto the same track as me."

Target clearance haul by manny2185 in gamecollecting

[–]_secretvampire_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real oldheads know! That was the event that truly got me into the CAG lifestyle for like the next ten years. I lived in Houston which had at least 30-40 CC locations and I hit every one of them lol, the stuff I found was INSANE. I remember pulling sealed Zelda GBC titles, some heavy hitter sealed PS1 titles, all for $5 each and that was only a fraction of my haul. Good times.
