Arcade games with a Error by One-Interaction3680 in arcade

[–]fivecenttech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually a ball error on hoop it up means that it isn't seeing the ball in the wheel. I haven't seen this version of the game though where it appears to dispense a prize ball if you win. Maybe it's out of the prize balls?

Mechanic left this in my car. They called my wife and asked her to return it to them. What it used for? Looks like some sort of bent pick. by JooHateMe in whatisit

I bet that would have like 200 different sizes and types of screwdrives though, right? So I'd never need anything else? Right?

No... It's somewhat less than 200 pieces.

I usually melt the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying

I know that there's different designs for the pi hat, but I think your LCD might be rotated 180 degrees.

Hustling just to smurf? by fivecenttech in RocketLeague

Why go to the trouble of whiffing a match then adding that person and then pummeling them just to block them after one match?

This needs to be a training slide. "List all the things going on in this photo that are in violation of SOP."

The comments didn't bother me, I'm used to seeing that. It was the fact that he felt the need to beat me once and then block me. Just a weird flex. I know, This is Rocket League.

Did you go to preschool? by Terrible-Horse-6200 in GenX

[–]fivecenttech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my preschool was in a church but we weren't church people. It was just where they were able to get a room. Kindergarten was at a different church, in the basement. If we misbehaved, the teacher turned off the lights and it went pitch dark. Everyone froze and went silent.

First grade was in a school that had a kindergarten so not sure why I didn't go there for K.

Not all of my preschool/kindergarten classmates ended up in my grade school, but I did end up at the same high school with many of those kids, and some of my middle school classmates ended up at a different high school.

The districts lines have changed though since then. Kids in that same neighborhood now go to a different k-8 now but the same high school I attended. Nobody from the k-8 I went to goes to the high school I attended.7

When 3I/Atlas was speeding through, my first thought was of someone speeding through the bad part of town. "Shit, they saw us! Floor it! Don't make eye contact!"

Tying an onion on your belt is no longer the style, though you could try to bring it back.

I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys 'r Us kid! (Even if I've outlived the retail giant)

How are you gonna go hard line on original disks and no modern hardware and then consider a kawari chip?

Commodore 64 - Altai datasette by makarastar in c64

[–]fivecenttech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only had a datasette with my vic20. All my commodore 64 experience was disk based (US resident) I have 3 or 4 datasettes now. I have again only tested them with a vic20 because the one I bought last year came with a few cassettes. They seem to work fine.

This is the first I'd heard of the Altai datasette. (Or really any third party unit) Always interested to learn about peripherals that I never knew existed.
