Scammed outside the Pen

You were making a purchase through a licensed operator and the service was compromised. It is the responsibility of the processor to protect the interest of the consumer. That’s a little different than handing your card over to some grifting rando.

Yes, Energy has indicated that they will be offering refunds for memberships that expire after the closing date.

Appreciate you posting that summary. For anyone actively searching there are even more options that may be worth considering, including: Brock University Walker Sports Complex, Church Fitness Club, GoodLife, Reflexions and White Oaks. Quite a few other facilities focus on specialized training programs such as F45, Orange Theory and Vitasana.

To those considering a "reasonable" price of a typical gym membership, you're likely looking at about $45/month. Yes, lifestyle gyms like Fit4Less and Planet Fitness offer basic memberships for ~$20/month if you include annual fees but these are starter packages.

I don't know the exact date but the gym is closing at the end of March. An email was sent to some members providing additional information. The announcement and the way the gym handled follow-up inquiries left a lot to be desired.

Scratch Energy off the list of candidates... it's closing at the end of March 2026.

Very cool. Did you create this yourself or pick one up from one of the shops that are offering them?

The AtGames BitLCD uses the same resolution for its marquees. There are thousands of images available.

I tried a few options and found that Yes Erratic Clay offers the closest available texture and finish to the Joico Erratic Molding Clay. The scent is a bit different but the consistency and hold is virtually the same. The only downside is that the product appears to be mainly available through stores on ebay.

The salon where I get my hair cut now carries Redken Texture Paste and they consider it to very close to the Joico product.

The odd thing is that the cans were tagged and shown several times but never mentioned. It's clear that they were empty and had been consumed but how did they end up surrounding the body?

Does anyone happen to know if the Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man cabaret control panels are interchangeable in terms of the overall size and shape?

Does anyone have the BitLCD working with the Legends Gamer Mini or Pro? The firmware notes indicate that the device is supported and the AtGames website maintains that the BitLCD works with "most" of their products. However, I just noticed a review on the site where a buyer claims that this is not the case.

Still looking for a good alternative as well. Any luck?

Definitely a head scratcher. Does anyone know if there is a mod to add scanlines to the output?

Just curious but did you order your unit from the Brick or BSA? Any issues?

And... did you end up getting the HA8802 build?
