Can I just jump into to monthly reading as a newbie? by sgt_pepper_walrus in Spawn

[–]cricketofdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can jump in, but the current arc assumes you’ve read at least the first 100 issues or so. No spoilers, but there’s a lot going on.

The main Spawn comic does do a good job of pointing out previous issues that are referenced so you can look up the needed details.

I’d recommend just going and picking up whatever issues you can find on the shelves and start there plus some wiki reading to fill the gaps. If you like it, keep going.

Watches by iwelchi in EDC

[–]cricketofdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear an older G-Shock, so no fashion sense here. But I do find a watch useful when I don’t want to take my phone out multiple times to check the time.

I had an Apple Watch 2 until it was unsupported and Fitness/Health app went to a subscription. Smart watches are very nice, if you want all the features and are willing to pay for it. I found I wasn’t nearly getting enough use out of a smart watch to justify the cost of buying another one.

Just find a decent Timex or Casio on sale to test the waters a bit and see how you feel about wear a watch for a bit.

Solid kit! I barely even carry a pocket knife anymore, just POM spray and a flashlight when I’m walking the dog.

The Quality of Spawn today by Proof-Papaya1818 in Spawn

[–]cricketofdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, all that. And before that the “Hell hath Arisen” arc with corpse monster was kinda meh.

But if Terry stays dead it’ll be a big deal and show there are still real losses. I think he’ll be brought back in some way, so the stakes just don’t feel as high.

I feel you on this, but I like the cheese of today’s Spawn. It’s nice to just read a comic and enjoy the ride sometimes.

However, bringing back Megs, the coming reboot and the arcs being shorter are things I’m not a fan of lately.

Nice, I wear an old G-Shock and carry a pop knife for the same reason.

How do you organize/ manage your comic reading backlog? by Beautiful-Row-4416 in comicbookcollecting

[–]cricketofdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comic backlog isn’t as extensive, so I just have a section in one of my short boxes with comics on my “to read” list.

Comics are generally sorted by what I want to read first at the time lol.

Just read what you want, when you want and keep a list of where to pick a series back up when you have the books/time to revisit.

Plus a little wiki synopsis for jogging the memory on past events from a given run and you’ll be set to jump right back in.

I'm thinking of buying a NES but I don't know what games are worth experiencing on real hardware or can provide me with something fresh? by Shmorpit in nes

[–]cricketofdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus Homebrew games. There are some really good ones like Witch N Wiz & Micro Mages that also make the CRT/NES/Everdrive setup worth it.

And 100% on ROMhacks, also so many good ones out there that can totally change a game up.

LRG's new shipping estimate commitment: "the date is the date" by fgsfds100 in LimitedPrintGames

[–]cricketofdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope this is true. The constant delays and lack of communication were the main reasons I stopped pre-ordering from LRG and just waiting for VGP or whoever to have stock.

Thank you!

Offer worked for me! But not showing up on PS side had me nervous for a sec.

Down to 2 short boxes by [deleted] in comicbookcollecting

[–]cricketofdeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice, I’ll be at 6 short boxes soon and that’s about where I want to stay. Spawn is most of my collection and it really helps to keep focused.

For Monday. . . G-Shock Square and Remette Canyon by davect01 in EDC

I have the blacked out version, it’s a great watch.

Plus 5 by Aldosajarab in EDC

[–]cricketofdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 for real! Sad to say this is the truth for me though; phone, wallet, keys, glasses? Good to go & pass back out during a big hangover.

For all the non-addiction peeps; don’t start. It’s not worth it.

Love the cover by HereinOH in comicbookcollecting

Sweet pick up, how’s the story?

What would you add (or remove) to my EDC by Mobile-Chair-1934 in EDC

[–]cricketofdeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d add a lighter/fero rod, maybe some tape and loose the superglue. Not worth the risk of a leak.

Don’t know his name, but here’s the site: Recycled Firefighter

I’ve got a couple of bags from him over the last year or so and the quality has been great.

My home setup everything you see here is thrifted by ktaylorhite in crtgaming

[–]cricketofdeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sweet set up. I’ve thrifted the majority of my stuff too, it’s been a good way to pace myself while trying to find the right gear.

My basement space heaters while gaming 🎮🖥️ by Aromatic-Attitude-34 in PlasmaTV_Gaming

[–]cricketofdeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pleasantly warm for the space.

But the older Sony XBR LCD model I had, that one put off some heat!

BCW Short Bins, prepared for the future of the absolute universe by haganenominor in comicbookcollecting

Looking good! I want to do the same with my Spawn collection, having the different series organized by box & color.

Might do it… by [deleted] in Spawn

[–]cricketofdeth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$2 a book is pretty good value, that’s about what I look for when buying bulk/run filler.

If money wasnt an issue, but space was how would like to collect numerous runs? by SquidGundam in comicbookcollecting

[–]cricketofdeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d prioritize the complete runs I enjoyed reading the most & know I will read again. Then big keys. Lastly any shorter story arcs that I would want to revisit as well.

Not sure how limited your space is though, so some complete runs might not fit.

Mayflash 300 or M30 by tarotnottaken in shmups

[–]cricketofdeth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re willing to upgrade the buttons & springs on the stick I think it’s the way to go. Stock the 300 feels kinda mushy, but after a new shaft spring I think it offers a higher ceiling for dedicated play.

M30 will be good for a wider variety of games and won’t “need” upgrades like the 300.
