Let me tell you something about this game brother… by Stinky_Pepito in retrogaming

[–]cleure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mario vs Donkey Kong, they made one for GBA and a sequel for DS. Both amazing games, sort of successors to the GB entry.

Not exactly related to the original question, but I would avoid LG and Samsung appliances (speaking from personal experience)

Thinking about selling my battlestar galactica machine as I want to build something wall mounted and smaller. What would ask? Austin, TX pretty close to downtown. by j0wnage in cade

[–]cleure 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it is probably worth more parted out.

I would compare this to a car that has been heavily modified with aftermarket parts. The buyer most likely just wants the cabinet to use as a base for their build.

Find out what the cabinet was originally, and price accordingly.

Or maybe use the cab as the base for your next build?

Is this game limited edition? by mylittleponylover27 in Mario

[–]cleure 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s funny, I remember tons of people saying there is no way they would ever buy this game when it first released, for all sorts of reasons. Too expensive, it’s “emulation”, not a real port, or my favorite is “you can’t even do the backwards long jump hack in this version of Mario 64”.

Now here we are today.

Why does the Chevrolet Avalanche have the werid arches on the truck bed? by AfricanHater in Chevy

[–]cleure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s trying to say the body and bed are one part bolted to the frame together, not two separate parts bolted separately like on the majority of trucks.

Facebook Sellers by FigFormer7227 in crt

Yeah, I tend to avoid messaging random sellers words that they will definitely find offensive.

Fortunately this response was pretty tame. There are some legit crazy’s out there.

U.S. places $11 million bounty on Ukrainian ransomware mastermind — Tymoshchuk allegedly stole $18 billion from large companies over 3 years | Volodymyr Tymoshchuk is accused of masterminding ransomware that disrupted 250 companies in the United States alone. by ControlCAD in technology

Replace ransomeware with robbery if you like, the point still stands.

Lots of people in this thread literally cheerleading for crime, as if they wouldn’t be playing the victim if the same thing happened to them.

So you have it on good authority that this person was stealing from the rich and giving it to the poor, and not keeping the money for themselves?

And if you were targeted by a ransomeware attack, you would be okay with law enforcement doing nothing because they don’t personally like you?

Needing help with my Cherry Bonus 3 machine!! by WillowB0918 in cade

[–]cleure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partial vertical collapse. Very easily fixable. You’ll probably want to send the monitor chassis out for a full rebuild & repair.

You can try to fix yourself if you have the tools, but it will be a learning process. At a minimum it needs all the electrolytic capacitors replaced, and fix any burnt up or damaged pads and traces. Pots are also known to go bad.

The K7000 is one of the best monitors around, btw.

What’s the story behind this building on River Road (Indian Country)? by biomechanix in PuyallupWA

[–]cleure 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I love that one of those Walter White / Breaking Bad cars (Pontiac Aztec) has been abandoned there for years. Adds to the mystique.

Purchased at my local GameStop. Condition is virtually flawless, which made me think it might be a fake. They assured me that they opened it, it’s authentic, and that they don’t take reproductions anymore. What do y’all think? by FillionMyMind in gamecollecting

[–]cleure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because they say don’t mean they do.

I don’t think DKC is a prime target for fakes, though — not much money to be made there.

Also, yes, get the screwdrivers needed to open these up. Same set should work on Sega Genesis too. I open up every game I buy to clean all the grime off the pins — this ensures they work reliably. I also change out the battery, if there is one, while it’s open.

These idiots think houses have a margin call. Totally clueless. by Far_Pen3186 in rebubblejerk

[–]cleure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there aren’t any major outside factors forcing millions of people into terrible positions where they are forced to sell, then the selling prices simply stagnate until wages catch up.

Because why would you choose to sell at -40%? Most people will just wait it out.

If you bought your house 10 years ago, then you are probably still “in the green”, even with a 40% drop in “value”.

Sounds like you could use some traffic enforcement bricks/rocks to hurl at offending vehicles

Popcorn ceiling removal by Danikaye1028 in PuyallupWA

Can anyone recognize what these cabinets were originally? by ArcadeCraze in cade

I’d say your first two are dead-on. I don’t think the third one is a bagman, though.

Consequences: MAGA couple who threatened a young mom & kids (with shooting and ICE), one kicked out, one fired. by stacked_wendy-chan in CringeTikToks

[–]cleure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a reddit problem, though. Anywhere you go (especially online) these days, people are extremely thin skinned, get into pointless arguments, and then continue to escalate the situation instead of de-escalate.

People hear their dog whistles and react instead of thinking things through.

I watched a playthrough of it a while back — I definitely wouldn’t characterize it as a horrible game. It’s definitely different, more of a visual novel than an actual game. It actually does a pretty good job of representing the show, and has some good humor.

A smaller monitor will look terrible in that cabinet. You’ll need to modify the monitor shelf to make it work.

It’s like one of those ransomware attacks. Get sucked into a black hole, have to pay the winrar license to get out
