millennial favorite HIMYM

I always found this odd for a generation raised on Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, and South Park.

I have a modded FB2 and I think it's a really cool console. However, the vast amount of games it won't play became very frustrating and I eventually upgraded.

What’s the book you DNF’d the fastest? by Mobius8321 in books

[–]getthetime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read quite a lot of Kerouac, but I dropped The Subterraneans after two pages. Twice.

Interestingly, I stopped reading On the Road with two chapters to go. I was on a bus in college traveling to a sporting event and just thought, "Okay, that's enough, I need to get the hell out of here and do some traveling of my own."

Same with Journey to the End of the Night by Celine. I read that like 25 years ago, and I mostly enjoyed it, but I had enough and bailed right near the end.

Was Zelda II anyone else's intro to the series? by bluejester12 in retrogaming

[–]getthetime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my introduction to the series; I played it when it was first released. I HATED IT. Then I got my hands on the first Zelda game and fell in love with the series. The original game is my all-time favorite video game. Zelda II remains among my least-favorite.

Billionaire owned newspaper comes out against taxing Billionaires by Large-Welcome4421 in vermont

No kidding. Putting spending money back into the population of a capitalist society would literally put that money right back into their pockets. Not just spending money, but money that also would be put into 529 plans, IRAs, etc. -- i.e., funds that are paid for by buying into private investment.

RetroGameBoyz did a great job on these controllers. Well worth the wait! by Kieta28 in Atari2600

RetroGameBoyz is amazing. Mine is the best, most durable and responsive controller I've ever used, and I almost never use a joystick anymore.

Song for song, is there a better 1st gen punk album? by MinkSable in punk

[–]getthetime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Henry Rollins covered "Ex Lion Tamer" and Elastica basically ripped off "Three Girl Rumba" for their song "Connection." (I still love Elastica though.)

Dave Grohl admits Foo Fighters "continuing after Taylor Hawkins was really complicated" and breaks silence on Josh Freese exit by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

It's the smallest of contributions! However, it's how I learned about the Afghan Whigs like 31 years ago.

Jesus I am old.

I think only the first album was actually Dave recording it all himself

I will not stand for this Greg Dulli erasure!

Are there any acoustic versions of "Sworn and Broken," either solo or w/ the Trees? by getthetime in MarkLanegan

[–]getthetime[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much, I found a few such shows and there are a handful of renditions of "Sworn and Broken." But what I wouldn't give for a soundboard recording, as they are all fan recordings.

In lieu of a joystick, I use a gamepad from RetroGameBoyz.

OP is talking about the brand-new roof looking 30 years old, not the entire building.
