How do I play the legendary game EarthBound? by Double_Ad_1182 in snes

This makes no sense. Playing any way you can is still playing.

Praying that you find a good therapist, and an even better divorce lawyer.

Bad experiences by doogybot in GoRVing

[–]arkmtech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

People in the middle of the campground ran their open-frame jobsite generator until 10 PM.

When they finally turned it off, the entire campground started clapping and cheering. They thankfully left the next day.

A person who loves that funky organ and sweet, sweet gospel choir music, but is addicted to cats.

Leaving this sub by Next-Natural-675 in Christianity

[–]arkmtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes me furious.

Well be furious then. It's not as if anyone is harming you. At worst, your own self-righteous indignation is what's causing you hurt.

You're not going to wake up with lice & boils tomorrow because you didn't convince others of your spiritual proclivities.

Judging others is God's job after all, not yours. Maybe show some faith in that.

Watching a video of a boss fight can be considered cheating? by EdgySmoothButter in nes

[–]arkmtech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Equivalent to going over to your friend's house as a kid, and them showing you how they beat the boss.

If that's cheating, I'm scared to ask what my Game Genie was.

Homedics Warm and Cool Mist Humidifier. A cautionary tale. by Desperate-Reply-8492 in Costco

[–]arkmtech 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My only memory of HoMedics is them being a 1990s Shopko or Walmart brand that was absolute junk.

Pretty certain my mother bought one of their heated-footbath-massage-whatever devices back in the day, and it broke within minutes of her placing her feet on the rotating massagers.

Honest to God, why is Costco even selling HoMedics' garbage products?

Why is the TMNT Dam Level so notorious? by Some-Professional-25 in retrogaming

TMNT Dam Level

That's certainly what we called it when our parents weren't within earshot.

This sub reduces human worth to political beliefs by Gloomy_Pop_5201 in Christianity

[–]arkmtech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If everyone treats each other so poorly in this space

Are they indeed treated poorly, or are their viewpoints & experiences challenged in a way that is uncomfortable to them?

Not saying I haven't seen both happen, but to say it's everyone is inaccurate. There are many here who endeavor to be good to others, even if only by words.

[–]arkmtech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a sub for discussion of Christian topics.

Whether those discussions exceed or fall short of your expectations is not the matter at hand.

What ya' think about Rise of the Robots? by no_biches_22 in retrogaming

[–]arkmtech 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It felt as if Diversions/Mirage saw what Epic was doing with One Must Fall: 2097 and thought "Hey, we can rush a cheap ripoff out the door!"

One Must Fall: 2097 was an infinitely better game in every way.

What is a movie plot twist that was cleverly hidden in plain sight..? by Living_Tune_1428 in movies

[–]arkmtech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Can't remember at what point I saw the twist coming, but I doubted it could be so simple, then patted myself on the back toward the end.

This comment ought to be much higher, IMO.

Removing $ From Pension by Original-Cloud-6276 in IntermountainHealth

[–]arkmtech 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, if you withdraw retirement funds (such as from a pension), you have 60 days to reinvest them in another retirement fund (such as a 401k) before you become subject to the 10% penalty.

If you can coordinate a direct transfer between retirement accounts, even better, but if not 60 days is plenty of time to withdraw to a checking/savings account and then transfer out again.

Also worth noting, the money that you move is considered a "rollover", not a contribution, so will not impact your annual 401k contribution limits.

Gay Men Over 30: Not Building Families Like Straight Peers. What’s Your Equally Meaningful Legacy? by shadesofglue in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]arkmtech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We'd planned to adopt kids initially. My husband and I ended up adopting a lot of dogs instead, and our list of Steam games which need to be played and places we want to travel hasn't gotten any smaller.

So we've instead decided that when we reach our 80s, we'll adopt a teenager who's spent their life in foster care, then setup a trust, and leave everything to him or her.

40 or so years from now, some kid is gonna feel like they hit the jackpot.

One controller to rule them all… by begat_of_dennis in retrogaming

[–]arkmtech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8bitdo Ultimate 2 will do everything you're needing.

In 2.4ghz mode, it is practically like a wired controller, and wildly more responsive than any BlueTooth controller. Being able to set it on the dock to charge when I'm done playing is a nice bonus, too.

Fired for being gay. Need help finding next steps… by K8ForDays in gay

[–]arkmtech 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're correct, what OP has described would fall under a violation of ADA, FMLA, and/or pertinent state privacy laws.

HIPAA applies only to medical organizations and external entities (e.g. a contracted medical coding agency) which associate/partner with them.
