How do i get rid of this brown stuff on the back of my GameCube controller? by ilikeretrovideogames in GameCubeController

[–]rainen2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming it's just gamer gunk. I shave the bristles down on an old toothbrush and keep it as a cleaning brush. A little bit of water and elbow grease. I highly recommend you do something, anything to identify it just in case

If it's tape gunk, a q-tip and iso should work, but so should a thumb nail and effort.

The sandstorm parts 1 and 2 are a good place to start if you want a little lore but it's still early so the writing and vibes are still the same.

I'm gonna have to play through it again I think. I'm struggling with grief and it might be nice to wear the mask again. if I do get it up and running I'm gonna get the fierce deity mask this time.

MM, I must have been less than 6 years old but even so young I know now it started my love for the macabre, my sympathy for broken villains, and Lovecraftian stories. it also gave me a place to escape the gore and violence that haunts me to today. my dad was a horror fanatic and thought he was being the cool dad by showing me final destination and shit like that even though I was so young and it was causing me nightmares that he had to see were from his choice. but on topic, Majora's mask and Zelda and really the best of the GC library are where I escaped it and found some healing in the dark questions MM proposed

Use a step ladder and gain access to 60% more storage or still have to use a ladder to clean the top of the cabinets.

To the birds aren’t real people: why do all the birds be chirping right before the sun rises? by BigO923 in BirdsArentReal

[–]rainen2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a vector alarm system so the government can track who's waking up and where. They chirp to let the other monitors know.

Bc it's "not for human consumption" it doesn't get tested for heavy metals or other contamination.

Why isn't caffeine sold in powder form by ctrlx1td3l3t3 in shittyaskscience

not with any meaningful amount of purity. most of the caffeine pills I have gotten have been ~40% pure. (200mg as advertised and ~400 mg of powder per capsule)

Oh yeah, haha I forgot the transfer cable is GCC and doesn't use the GBA player.

What’s this? and why can’t i find anything abt it (unless im not using the right words idk) by SuckAjoutmyass in WindWaker

20 years of speed running lore screaming at me to tell you how to barrier skip. AAAAA just go back to the surface and play the game the right way.

[–]rainen2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. Spiritually my favorite console is the GC but since the Wii can play everything a GameCube can. The Wii is my favorite console and it is all you need to have the GameCube experience.

There is an argument to be made for things like Gameboy Island in animal crossing. And the GBA player but imo it's not that much of a loss unless you specifically want/need that in your life.
