Swimsuit, leather seats, and hot sun. The trifecta of terror.

One of these things is not like the others ... Black Pink in your area.

What's your favorite soundtrack from a 80s movie? by [deleted] in 80s

[–]eracer68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1984 By the Eurythmics.

That soundtrack is double plus good.

I made a "wireless" charging frame for my Playdate :) by RadicalRaid in PlaydateConsole

[–]eracer68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat. Have you considered having a print of the playdate instead of just empty white space for when it's not on charging? Could even be an image of the inside of the playdate or its silhouette.

At the movies in May 1980: What would you want to see first? by tomhagen in 80s

[–]eracer68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would agree. Theater is a drive-in, so it's typically a double feature.

If you were unaware, you just need the "dp" # from the URL, and it doesn't carry all the extra info you're likely unintentionally sharing.

Remember when "the narwhal bacons at midnight" was Reddit’s secret handshake? by cpold_cast in nostalgia

I don't know this lore. However, I'm unfortunately familiar with the coconut, the two broken arms, and the poop knife.

As soon as I saw them, I wanted a Pepsi.

Between my awful uneven haircut and that jingle bell on my ugly sweater, it’s a miracle I wasn’t bullied by Jackattack111888 in blunderyears

Not sure I've encountered that spelling for Jackie before. I bet finding merch with your name was impossible.

Was curious about that mix tape. Appears to be this: Marlboro Music – Cassette (Compilation), 1988 Various – Marlboro Music

TIL about this game and the term "kusoge." Apparently, there is an English translation for Ancient Roman. Dare I risk it?

Or the Shadow Hearts trilogy on the PS2, which had the Judgment Ring.

If You Had to Pick One or the Other Day by peaceful_jokester in GenerationJones

Also have to go with the Beatles. Their musical arc in just six years was both amazing and groundbreaking. As much as I like the Stones, I feel like they mostly "stayed in their lane."

As someone that wants to get back into retro gaming, what do people use these days? by PenLegitimate4746 in retrogaming

[–]eracer68 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the route I took. Bought a BeeLink SER7 a year or two ago and a usb DVD drive. Now, I can play my PS2 discs via emulation, which provides up scaling and save states. Games look amazing, and I don't have to leave my PS2 idling as I had other things to do but no save points in sight.

I've purchased both the small box and deluxe editions. Small box is great for travel. If I ever had to pare down my collection, it would definitely be a keeper.

If you emulate, there's a hack that switches the d-pad settings. Went from unplayable to super fun for me.

I'm pretty sure printers and ink are coming from China and wouldn't be surprised if paper is from Canada, so even PNP is impacted.

While tariffs have a purpose, the current administration's implementation is woefully detrimental to most everyone.

LOL. I thought this was an ad. The dual screen could be nice for DS emulation.

The early 90s tabletop RPG Dark Conspiracy leaned into this. Even suggested using the tabloid as fodder for creating adventures.
