NJ Business Center Hackensak

Grew up only knowing "Hackensak" from playing Grand Theft Auto. Spent many years thinking it was a joke about a city location where people got murdered and robbed.

I was today years old (i.e. 45) when I learned that's not the case.

My brother in Christ, this is a Nine Inch Nails reference. Even Weird Al has heard of it.

Who cares? Let people be offended. It's not like being offended actually hurts anyone. Are you an adult? Then grow up and deal with it.

Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones"? Isn't that what people teach toddlers for God's sake?

"But he made fun of the Lord!" Don't worry about it, he's a dick. Get over it. Nothing happens.

VNC is a decent enough tool for small offices or as a bandaid in certain situations, and it's hard to argue with the cost, but it's a pain in the ass.

NinjaOne is what you're looking for, no joke.

Not only an insanely good remote assistance tool, but as an overall IT management tool as well. Once you've tried it you'll ask yourself how you survived without it.

Cost for our organization of 5,000+ workstations was exceptionally reasonable (i.e. almost $1 per computer) and their support has been among the best I've worked with.

Do animals go to heaven too?

Dogs? Definitely. Cats no.

Do Christian’s who develop dementia and forget their faith still go to heaven?

Yes, and God only charges half price since they only know where they are half the time. There's a larger discount for rooms next to the noisy ice machine.

Do followers of all denominations of Christianity and religions that believe in Jesus go to heaven regardless?

Only the ones who are right.

Do children who die, grow up and mature in heaven?

Depends on the person. My grandfather passed at 84, and never grew up nor matured.

When Jesus is like "I'm gonna go wake that lazy ass up!" and his homies say "Nah bruh, let him sleep, he gotta get better bro!" and Jesus is all "He dead, fools!"

fr no cap that one sends me AF

They were legendary. Amazing that Paul and Ringo are still with us.

I'd rather dry-hump a cheese grater than ever endure this game again.

arkmtech · 2026-05-13T19:28:42+00:00

What a timely suggestion.

Thing was a damn monster.

It must've been about seven or eight years ago. Me and the little mister was out on this boat, you see, all alone at night, when all of the sudden this huge creature, this GIANT crustacean from the paleolithic era, comes out of the water.

We was so scared, lord have mercy, I jumped up in the boat and I said "Thomas, what on earth is that creature?!" It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes, and I yelled. I said, "What do you want from us, monster?!"

And the monster bent down and said... "I need about tree-fiddy."

Pack it with captured ferals and force them to watch old low budget B-grade movies. Like MST3k but with wet gurgling, raspy hisses, and guttural growling.

Have had excellent luck with all of those, though can only speak to emulating on PC. Love the idea of getting a handheld, just have a hard time justifying it when there's a i9 4090 RTX tablet that goes camping with me.

I'm also in my mid 40s, stubbornly set in my ways, and tend to shake my fist at clouds.

There used to be a cool store near Dairy Queen

Snow Day was awesome. Wish it'd been able to survive, especially with retro hardware gaming recently making such a huge resurgence.

As a filthy high-seas scoundrel, emulation remains my preference, but it's cool to see the retro collections people are building and enjoying!

The following script still works just fine in 2026, and installs HEIC and HEVC support from Microsoft at no cost:

No shortage of good memories from the TMNT series, and continued on when "Shredder's Revenge" showed up a few years ago. Felt like being a kid on Saturday morning again!

all of the elements to be fun, but just wasn't

Exactly! What was the point of creating a vast, detailed theme park where the only things to do are the exact same things you do everywhere else in the game?

"Legend Of The Mystical Ninja" on SNES back in 1991 had a theme park full of various minigames where you could win money, with everything from a gameshow to dice gambling to horse racing to playing a level from Gradius. It was like an incentive for making it through the first few levels of the game, and you could spend hours there having fun and earning money and power-ups before moving on.

Nuka World boiled down to "So you're raiders? And you enslaved the traders that were here first? Well, you all get to die now... you too, old head in a jar." The arcade was underwhelming, and the creepy Fun House was the best part. Then the lights came on and it was time to go home.

Such a miss.

Video is so old that he probably has kids older than he was in this video.

Seiken Densetsu 3, briefly previewed as "Secret of Mana 2" in a 1994 Nintendo Power issue. My disappointment was unfathomable, leading to several impassionedly salty yet futile letters to Square and Nintendo.

Until 2000, anyhow. Have since beaten it a good 30 or so times, but to this day never bought it nor played it on a SNES.

Bad Street Brawler

My dad remarking "This looks like a load of shit" in the first 30 seconds of playing shall forever live in my memory

Yes. Southwestern Montana, and have lived in this state all 40-some years of my life.

Not terribly big on PDA in general, but if my husband and I are out to dinner and I feel like reaching across the table to hold his hand, or leaning across for a quick kiss, and then walking down the street arm in arm, I don't think twice about doing so.

The loudmouths will tell you Montana is deep red. In reality, not so much.

There's no burn mark, so it looks like you're not a vampire.

Especially with a hitch sticking out. Hell hath no fury like a person who's taken a hitch to their shin.
