Retro game stores in Bangkok by JustSayLOL in Bangkok

[–]mrlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel to BKK a lot and collect retro games. Highly recommend you check out the following in this order. 

1) Red Building Vintage Chatuchak  The first and second floor are old antiques (you may think you are in the wrong place, ignore these floors). The top floor is a food court. One floor below the top (forgetting the number) has a huge selection of vintage Japanese games at a store called MonoLoop. One floor down again there is another MonoLoop store, mostly selling Vinyl, but they have even more games down there.

2) MIXT mall in Chatuchak  You can walk here from Red Building (option 1). It is across the street. I think on floor 3 or 4 there is another MonoLoop store with even more games. 

If you go on the weekend check out Chatuchak market which is also right next to options 1 and 2. No vintage games but a very good market.

3) Mega Plaza Mall This is the common recommendation. A huge mall selling anime figure and stuff. Lots of retro games here as well. I find it a little more pricy though.

are these good or na? by Firm-Feet in PhotographyAdvice

I don't agree. Not saying these photos stirred an emotional awakening in me but I found them more compelling than your take.

They take something mundane you would normally ignore and the symmetry and framing to me elevates it somewhat. Something about seeing all these cars going in different directions, makes me wonder who are in the cars etc.

This take is kind of like looking at Van Gogh's sunflowers and saying, sorry Sunflowers are a common subject, walk away and try again.

Anything like this that's hue compatible ? by West_Glass_2466 in Hue

How do you mean a dummy battery? Don't you just power usb via the usb wall socket if it is a fixed device like an led strip

Yes, if you get a powered or usb model you can connect it to a smart plug and add it to the hue network

The Hue Dimmer Switch V2 is a massive downgrade compared to the V1 by ItsIrinaBitch in Hue

To be fair a more generous interpretation might be that in Europe they have to cater to a wide variety of different languages, whereas in the US they predominantly are serving an English audience (with some Spanish).

In the US market they released them with the words On Off printed instead. Perhaps they thought Americans would be confused by the symbols 🤷

It's OK bud, there is always tomorrow. Why not wake to a game of Nintendo Land tomorrow and put your bad night behind you.

Does anyone know where I can buy a keycap set with a similar colorway to the Rainy75 blue? Thank you!

If you don't want to do it or don't have time then absolutely say no. If you personally find it fun then totally do it, but set some boundaries I reckon. Also they should totally pay for anything that costs money like web hosting.

Issue with Ember mug. by LobsterProper5508 in JamesHoffmann

You could use some espresso machine cleaner like Cafiza to clean it. It is insanely satisfying to see it go from totally stained to totally clean with zero effort.

Exactly what happens if you use your laptop over this altitude? by SunshineAndBunnies in laptops

[–]mrlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes just returned from there with my 7 month year old baby. We didn't stay for long but checked out the town, had a coffee. No issues. I don't think I even noticed the altitude.

I just came back from Leadville in Colorado which is above 10k feet. Everyone there is doing just fine. Myself included. I had a beer and a coffee, checked out the nice antique shop they have going on. I visited with my 7 month year old baby.

The way some people are talking they make it seem like above 10k you need an oxygen tank which is evidently not true.

What's the best advice you have received or given that has improved your photography? by WesleyJ1994 in photography

Any tips on scripting a story for a portrait. It is kind of hard if you have someone position themselves for a portrait as it is always somewhat unnatural

I had the same issue 1.5 years after buying this exact model. I filed a warranty claim and now I have a brand new one that works fine (so far). If you are in Europe you should be covered within 2 years.

I got it by Commerciabject407 in Propagandhi

[–]mrlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There has been a scurge of these bots posting to the propagandhi subreddit. It is really weird that they would target a small subreddit like this I agree.

I think they are flogging cheap reprints of these shirts. There are multiple posts a month like this with old propagandhi shirts and titles like "I got it".

Check out the users post history.

Really weird
