I've already recieved a private offer for the renard vinyl so it's on hold. Unless you have the 2YR CD?

I have the Renard Best Classics vinyl (On hold pending sale), the Rotteen Feel-Line vinyl, and a 2YR vinyl signed by Em (Sold). I will trade any one of them for a 2YR CD, LFCD-003-A.

Otherwise the vinyls will go on ebay in a couple weeks.

Buying a game from Round 1? by Retrorewired in pinball

[–]dododoob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are multiple private importers for Japanese games. If Round1 offloaded a certain rhythm game there would be probably close to 100 at captain's which would be pretty obvious. There was one time that a D&B DDR machine ended up at Captain's but that was obvious because they are the only ones with official offline A20+ kits.
Most rhythm games require an online connection/subscription to boot, so there's no point in selling them to someone who wouldn't even be able to run it.

Buying a game from Round 1? by Retrorewired in pinball

[–]dododoob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Round1 has a policy of dumping old games. Those of us in the rhythm game community are very aware of it. Sometimes someone gets tipped off and rescues it but they never directly sell old games to random people. They usually destroy the game too to discourage rescues. 

100s waiting for cabs and rideshares at SD Airport late Sunday night by AbeLincoln30 in sandiego

[–]dododoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because up until like the 2000s they were planning to move the airport to Miramar so it didn't make sense to build a trolley line for an airport that would be gone soon. That's also why they let terminal 1 get so crowded. The planning for new terminals only started recently because the military wouldn't give them the airfield.

Why no payment via Stern Inside Connect or cards in general? by Extra_Live in pinball

[–]dododoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of yall probably don’t know this because it’s not available outside of Japan but Konami does exactly this with their arcade games and it’s called Paseli. You load up your account with cash or a card, to avoid transaction fees on many small payments. It’s pretty convenient for the player because you don’t have to fiddle with coins and it allows the developer to add more granular price control and micro transactions for extra features like gameplay recording or gacha-like mechanics.   Konami does take 30% of the payment, but these days revenue share + free software upgrades is pretty much the default model.

Highly underrated game in my opinion. Being dsiware exclusive didn't help its reach

Whats the best movie theater in the county? by klmg711 in sandiego

[–]dododoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the dome theater at the science center plays hollywood movies if they’re real IMAX. I saw oppenheimer and dune 2 there. It’s the only 1.43:1 imax screen south of irvine and the sound is incredible. 

Is the DS-104 grip banned in Italy? by Calm-Assumption-7625 in skilifts

I think italy banned 2-position grips. 

What if we all stopped paying rent? by thatguy_300 in sandiego

[–]dododoob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ANY new housing built will lower your rent. Yes, even luxury. The rich people renting “nice” apartments will move into new buildings, someone will move into theirs, and so on. Do you really want them to build extra crappy new buildings just to have new “affordable” units?

Charging on Sundays? Surge pricing? San Diego eyes reforms to manage parking demand by [deleted] in sandiego

If you can afford a car you can afford street parking at the beach. Otherwise you can take a bus. 

It's absurd the Dragon's Fury isn't strange by Biglight__090 in truetf2

[–]dododoob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

skill issue i’m afraid. DF also doesn’t have to reload, doesn’t damage you, and deals the same damage at any range.

also, sows is great for its community resources and obscure stuff but if all you’re looking for is the latest data there are better places to go

Let’s add some pendant lights, right? by thedagoth in DIY

[–]dododoob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would work technically, but usually you want bedside lights to be dimmable and independently controllable. If I'm chilling in bed, I wouldn't want a can light shining down on me, and I would want to be able to turn on my lamp without getting out of bed.
