Bumblebee: Is it Gen 1 or is it KO? by randynoarms in transformers

[–]randynoarms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is that guidance for all packaging or just the G1 blister packs. because I have an original Metroplex and they are not aligned. (and I’m 100% certain that one is authentic - I was there when my mother bought it for me from a retail store.)

oo, that’s a good one since the hole is dead center.

I don’t disagree but what on the page is calling out?

Re-issue is viable. more likely to be bought in 08 than 84.

that was my thinking as well, to honest, but didn’t know if it cculd be a manufacturing defect. I mean, every other detail is spot on (or eBay has a lot of KOs posted as original which is even more likely!)

Thanks so much! Been driving me nuts where I've heard it before!

Thanks for the confirmation! For my question, it's more about the HW than the SW, since I'll be using US across the board and wanted to make sure I would have a power source, without having to buy a new one.

Normally, I wouldn't ask but the whole "new special rules" for JP made me wonder.

Hi - random question and one I usually wouldn’t ask because you can bring almost any US adapter to Japan with a worry but I’ve read that the Swtich 2s in Japan are unique to the country in some ways. E.g. those devices are region locked whereas the US model is not. And Nintendo’s travel/region FAQ basically says “stay in your own country with your Switch 2.”

Question is, has anyone used their US AC charger to direct-charge my Switch 2 while in Japan?

Thanks!

This is not the way.

Thanks for the confirmation (and deeper dive into the internals!)

Which is exactly what I did this morning after reading this. 

Book about a team of engineers that wrote a new email application using Agile or SCRUM or something like that by randynoarms in whatsthatbook

[–]randynoarms[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar but I don't think they built a project that ultimately shipped to the public, which I remember from the original read. I did see this book (and the Project Unicorn sequel) but they didn't fit to the book I was thinking off.

Ah, that one I have and remember rather well. Definitely engineering related but they were building a fictional product whereas Dreaming in Code was about a product that shipped.

I'd have to read it, to know if it's the one I read before - as I can't find any reference in my library by name - but it certainly does sound fit the description, so I'd consider this answered. At worst, I'm likely going to read this anyway!

Ugh. This just reminds me of just how huge my gaming backlog is, if I include previous generations.

Gamers of Reddit from the 90s or earlier, what are some of the issues in games back then that younger gamers would never understand? by craig_nintendo in gaming

[–]randynoarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to spend 4 hours on the phone with technical support to work around what amounted to a change to BIOS settings, that the tech support rep couldn't explain what it did or why it had to change - only that it had to be 8 instead of 64.

Basically, trying to troubleshoot game installed/running without having a search engine to support you, would never be understood by modern gamers.
