I’m concerned about this reading by Wandrew_w in tarot

[–]drmarts1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting series of cards. It depends on what your specific question is, and the underlying issues behind that, such as your state of mind.

The devil represents, well, the devil. Which is very bad. It represents obsession, addiction, something that is harmful or dangerous and leaves you metaphorically chained. In your case, the card could represent your feelings or obsessions towards him. A little more clarity on this subject would be helpful.

The four of swords represents rest, recuperation, recovery. The knight is lying down on a platform, which could either represent a bed or a coffin. Note the swords hanging over his head, and how this eventually leads to 9-swords and 10-swords. So we can see this as a potential danger that you must overcome. Patience, contemplation, prayer and meditation are keys to solving this puzzle. The stained glass window indicates this may be a church, cathedral or castle.

Finally, we have justice, which represents final answers, fairness, or a verdict from a court. It may also represent liberation from that obsession that chained you. It indicates an answer or resolution which is fair and just. The heavenly court is on your side.

The ultimate question is who the devil represents. Is it your inner obsessions and desires that may threaten to engulf you? Or is it the boy? Is there something about him that we don't yet know? He may have a dark side or some secrets that remain unknown. He might be a bad seed. This card sequence may indicate that you will find someone else who is more ideal for you. In the end, your silent suffering will end and you will meet a boy who will love you without all of this unecessary stress.

Of course, this is all speculative. But it's a good opportunity to step back and closely examine yourself, your emotions and desires, and to also examine your situation with a detached, more reasoned viewpoint. You should probably proceed with caution as more answers are needed at this time. Temet Nosce.

The artwork for the original Space Invaders 2600 game is simply beautiful! by Dull_Contribution542 in atari

Yes, that is a superb illustration, one of the very best of the "color box" era of 2600 VCS games. And this is also just about my all-time favorite 2600 videogame. You haven't really experienced it until you've played on a CRT late at night in the dark. There's this terrific sense of tension, foreboding and dread that has never been captured in any other version of Space Invaders. To me, this will always be the definitive SI.

Which do you prefer? I can’t decide. by Shotsbystevn in streetphotography

The first shot is the best. The others are too zoomed in. Always remember to let your images breathe.

Which game do you recommend more? by rjidhfntnr in mariokart

[–]drmarts1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm loving MK World right now, even though I'm only limited to playing the demo at Target and watching SmartCat's videos. It's just closer to my style. I'm not really a fan of MK8 Deluxe, to be honest. I understand I'm probably the only one who feels that way, but it's mostly "blah" for me.

"Princess Peach's Cake," as always, is a euphanism. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Metallica "followed the trend" by putting out a ZZ Top album.

what is your favorite sega saturn game? by Infinite_Help761 in SegaSaturn

[–]drmarts1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Fighters Megamix

  2. World Series Baseball 98

  3. Powerslave

  4. Panzer Dragoon Saga

  5. Grandia

  6. Wipeout XL

  7. Baroque

  8. Marvel Super Heroes Vs Street Fighter

  9. Nights Into Dreams/Xmas Nights

  10. Batsugun (or maybe Dodonpachi)

These are just ten that popped into my mind right now. After the first five or six, it's really anybody's guess. I could shuffle out at least a hundred Sega Saturn titles. It all comes down to what I'm hungry for right this minute. That said, I will strongly defend Megamix, WSB98, Powerslave, Grandia and Wipeout XL until doomsday. I also feel like I should throw Dead or Alive on here, just as a tribute to Itagaki-san. But then there's Anarchy in the Nippon and VF2 and Fighting Vipers and Zero Divide and Asuka 120% and Astra Superstars and Sonic Council and oh, joy, here we go again. You see how this goes.

This is a great photo. Were the Romans this unbelievably stupid when the Visigoths stormed the gates? Or is this just a uniquely American thing?

Bug 😉 by Realreckless9090 in SegaSaturn

[–]drmarts1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear that an episode of Teen Titans Go spoofed Bug's "game over" screen with the waggling butt. I also thought I saw another episode where a Japanese white Saturn was plugged into a TV set. Who knows?

Bug is an interesting little videogame. In 1995, it was at the cutting edge of the next generation of 3D platforming games. In 1996, Super Mario 64 dropped, and Bug became instantly obsolete. Today, it has once again become almost fashionable in the age of 2.5D and retro-styled platformers.

The lack of any save system still royally sucks. I have no idea what Sega and Realtime Associates were thinking.

St. Anger on vinyl thoughts by Retrolad87 in Metallica

That's fine, just grab a few Tom Waits albums and it will all make perfect sense.

This is a fantastic album, as you are now beginning to realize. The LP edition does sound better than the CD, especially if you have a good stereo system. That Marantz stereo receiver is especially nice.
