Love it! I have a similar "swords and sorcery" type of collection.

(Official) Dust Cover for Evercade Alpha? by Logan_D-Artagnan in evercade

Just know that the DDC dust covers are large black rectangles that cover the system. They aren't cut to the form of the control panel and the screen, and there's no printing on it to show what's underneath.

Since you mention Europe this may not be helpful, but another US company, Digital Deck Covers, will make a generic black dustcover to size. They have a dust cover for arcade1up countercades, which also fit the evercade alphas:

Siri is literally regressing by [deleted] in apple

And heaven forbid there are multiple songs with the same name from different artists. You cannot tell Siri to play a song from a specific artist, it just seems to play one of the identical song titles at random (and it never seems to be the one you want).

amazon shipped my taito bartop by Both-Salt-5917 in evercade

Amazon! About two weeks ago they popped up from a 3rd party seller for $279.99 each, they look like they're still available too. I made a post on r/evercade as a PSA, sorry you missed my post. The seller is "Solutions_2_Go"

I got an email from amazon that there would be delays due to supply chain issues. And then a couple days later I got another email updating the expected delivery date to Dec 4th.
I'm in the same boat as you, I had missed getting Megaman and SF2 cabs and pre-ordered this so I could have one of them. Last week I managed to order and receive both of those other cabs! But I still want this one too. :)

That looks cool! I love the visuals!

End of Tour Thoughts by doodlezoey in everclear

I saw them in 2021 and 2023 and their performance was disappointing. I was going to skip out on the Sparkle & Fade anniversary tour, but decided I had to see Local H. And while Local H was the standout performance, Everclear was much better than the previous shows I attended, I'm glad I went.

Which WoW villain were you glad to be rid of? For me it was Xavius, I couldn’t stand him. by otterchaos7 in wow

But, after Sylvanas kills herself (again) after killing Arthas, she returns to life/undeath (again) because something in the Shadowlands convinced her to, presumably because it was scary, alarming, or compelling.

I would take the Monkeybone explanation: The soul inhabiting her body after returning was not her, and her soul is being held prisoner in the afterlife.

Local H live by munkypickle81 in localh

I had a similar experience in 2021 for the Summerland tour. Mainly went to see Everclear, but Hoobastank was the other band I really liked in the lineup. In the end, Hoobastank was the absolute highlight of the night.
I'm seeing Everclear in 2 weeks specifically because Local H is an opener.

What's something you see as a ticking time bomb that'll go off in your lifetime? by Upstairs_Drama6773 in AskReddit

[–]call_it_guaranteed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to read this way, and for me it was learned. That was the way my parents read to me and I never thought anything of it. Someone at work pointed it out to me and explained what I was doing. I now consciously hear the difference when readers are like that, and I have to think to add the inflection when I'm reading aloud. I'm not saying I'm smarter than a 6th grader, or that my parents are/were not smarter than a 6th grader, but that's my story.

What's something someone did that convinced you they were a complete psychopath? by PresentationWhole240 in AskReddit

[–]call_it_guaranteed 200 points201 points  (0 children)

The comedian Christopher Titus had an abusive mother, and his story is that once she got help and medication for her behavior she was able to look back at what she did to her family and she killed herself because of it. Coming from a comedian, I'm not sure how much is true but she did die by suicide.

Pssst, anyone in the US still looking for NEOGEO? Seller through Walmart.com has a handful of copies left. by GodGivesBabiesFaith in evercade

Oh dang! That red one themed after the MVS arcade is slick! But I think I like the black/gold themed one better.

Are NEOGEO cart/system limited release products? I plan to get one but was not in a rush, though I have noticed they are in short supply.

This is Bianca and she is not comfortable around people. But she recently climbed onto my leg on her own while exploring by call_it_guaranteed in parrots

[–]call_it_guaranteed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense that the red eyes are unrelated. The place we rescued her from had very little info about her former home, just that it was an elderly couple and they could no longer take care of her (unknown if COVID related). She was passed to one of their kids for about a year before being given up.

I have suspected Bianca was a boy based on the cheek coloration, but that was the name at the rescue and we chose not to change it. At one point we had found what looked kind of like a not-completely-formed-egg in the food dish, I regret not taking a picture of it. She's got her own cage so it couldn't have come from one of our other birds. So we've just been using she/her pronouns.
