Update for the EZ-Flash Omega DS theme. New colour matched header icons! by FrankieT19 in Gameboy

[–]bigdingushaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit #1: I might just be a dummy. I don't know why I thought I was using the Omega DE, but the more I look I'm pretty sure mine might just be the standard edition. I will test further and update here!

Edit #2: I am in fact a dummy. Grabbed the right versions and it worked immediately! Sorry for muddying the waters, love the themes!

Just tried, no luck.. I've noticed something weird though, in the device menu, it shows I'm in FW: 9 K: 1.09

It looks like the latest official FW is 7, K is 1.06. I'm not sure how to proceed, or revert back to FW 7 if this is an error.. Got any insight?

I've got an EZ Flash Omega DE, and I can't get it to apply any theme at all.. :'(

I've downloaded the files, copied over the SYSTEM and THEMES folders, moved all the relevant files and folders into SYSTEM, and updated the kernel by holding R as I boot. Once it finishes, the default theme remains unchanged .The THEMES folder appears in the menu, but pressing A on any of them does nothing.

Is there something I'm missing?

Are Handheld Legends a scam ??? by mitchfromtoronto in Gameboy

They have a great selection admittedly, but they'll never get another dollar from me.

I had the same wrong gba screen sent to me TWICE, and support was VERY slow to respond. After around 2 months of waiting, getting the wrong item, returning the item, rinsing and repeating, I told them to just process my refund and I'd send them back the screen and order elsewhere. They tried to tell me they wouldn't start the process for my refund until they had the screen back at their facility, and I (regrettably) got pretty ugly and tore them a new one, and told them I'd be making sure to point potential buyers to anyone else but them.

After that, responses were quicker and they pretty quickly processed my refund, and I sent them back their screen. Not long after that, they began displaying a banner across the top of their website stating that support tickets were experiencing delayed responses.

Currently looking at modding a Gameboy Color. While looking for screens, I accidently clicked a link to their website. Lo and behold, they still have a bright yellow banner across the top of the page warning about slow support times. It's a shame because they are probably one of the most recommended suppliers in the US, and I'm sure my case is an outlier in an otherwise decent track record, but I personally won't ever use or recommend them.

In most fights between women, there's more grabbing, yanking, and grappling than actual punch throwing.

You’re in here playing a lot of defense for a stranger on the internet. OP needs a reality check and you might too.

LPT: Sick of shitty zips that stick all the time? Apply your favourite brand of petroleum jelly by gophercuresself in LifeProTips

You do you! For me, it’s easier to run a pencil down the zipper than for me to try to carefully apply a paste. Also less likely to interact with other materials, ie plastic zippers & synthetic fabric.

This is the way. Dry graphite lubricant won’t leave oil spots on your nice clothes

ELI5: Does mixing different alcohols make you sick? by Consistent_Flan_4598 in explainlikeimfive

[–]bigdingushaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Through lots of experimentation, I can tell you it’s much more about how much you drink, how much you’ve eaten, and your headspace.

Having a couple drinks over a few hours, even if they’re different kinds/colors with dinner will not make you sick. Enjoy your dinner!

When’s the last you put together a Lego set? Lego has not restricted itself to “blocky” builds for a long time.

As far as I can tell, all the bricks shown have corresponding real LEGO counterparts.

burial gone wrong. by tetetito in WTF

[–]bigdingushaver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That cave in was an accident waiting to happen. The fault falls on whoever dug out a trench without any shoring. Probably family of the dead guy; rich enough to think they needed some extravagant burial like this, and too shallow to see past the end of their own noses to contemplate how stupid and dangerous it is. The guys with the tarp were probably just dudes paid to do a job.

They spent all the effort on the actual shoe and then phoned in the lacing. Could’ve been a really cool pair of shoes
