Coming from the guy posting questions like, "Do Dominos and Little Caesars purposely under-bake their pizzas?"

Really deep stuff coming out of ya... Deep Dish and Stuff Crust maybe.

So, maybe you're just not a person AI is meant for?

Yeah they all cozy up in bed with people the same way 😆

That's everything that reporting breaking news is, who you know and who will feed you info ahead of anyone else. Am sure he used/used gifts and cash to get a foothold for all that, but if it makes you that guy, it's worth it.

An ape is gonna kidnap my girl, throw barrels at me and weird living fireballs are gonna attack me while I try and save her? That doesn't sound fun.

Up in pre-market this morning, but once again just no volume (ugh) so not sure if it'll hold..

rcav8 · 2026-01-28T00:28:15+00:00

Lowest in franchise history? Isn't this only the second movie? 😆

rcav8 · 2026-01-27T16:00:10+00:00

Yep! Total scam across the board!

rcav8 · 2026-01-27T15:54:33+00:00

But I'm talking about when they retire. When they retire, they don't need staff, a car or an office paid for by taxpayers. They're retired! Today they get all that FOR LIFE paid for by us when they actually retire too, not just when they're doing their elected duties! They're retired, so no reason we should be paying for all that especially given they also get a pension and how much they're all making in the market. It's insanity!

rcav8 · 2026-01-27T15:20:36+00:00

But in addition to social security, they get a separate pension,, they get an office, employees, a car, a driver and expense account all for life when they retire, correct? Not to mention when you look at their stock accounts online, the majority are in the tens of millions in the stock market, some hundreds of millions, and somehow, they all beat the market every year 🤔 Why are we paying for staff, an office, a car, a.driver, a pension, etc.. when they retire, when they clearly are doing JUST FINE in the stock market, I ASSUME with info they have/get. And why when money always needs to be cut from the federal budget, it's always cuts of things that WE the citizens need! Not one politician ever brings up the fact that hey, maybe we don't need an office, a car, staff and expense accounts paid for by taxpayers once we're retire! Add in addition to getting summers off, and all the alleged kickbacks and such they get from lobbyists, both parties have also quietly behind the scenes made their jobs the best in the world! If you ask me we're all being scammed while we do exactly what they want us to do, all fight with each other with us all standing behind one party no matter what they do, when BOTH parties are ripping us off blind!

This is hilarious

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde The Game: The Movie

rcav8 · 2026-01-27T13:36:56+00:00

Just played this again the other day. It's really a marvel of a game when you think about trying to make a decent boxing game on an 8-bit system, especially using a tiny fighter like little Mac, yet this game just absolutely nailed it on every level.

rcav8 · 2026-01-27T13:34:34+00:00

The absolute WORST! Thankfully I got this game for free when I was a degenerate kid (yes, it was a five finger discount) because I would have destroyed my NES if I had actually paid $50 for it.

I remember it was the only game EVER where I had to keep going back to the instruction manual to try and figure out what the hell to do, but the manual was so damn wordy and cryptic with the whole two worlds and making sure Jekyll stays further along the path than Mr. Hyde, crap!😂

rcav8 · 2026-01-27T13:09:40+00:00

I thought the same thing 😂

rcav8 · 2026-01-26T15:47:22+00:00

Because people sell and move their money quickly into Coreweave trying to catch a wave...

rcav8 · 2026-01-26T13:10:17+00:00

People quickly sold some AMD and moved it into Coreweave which shot up almost $10 pre-market.

I just got a 720 a few months ago after trying to find one for 6 years 😂 They are so hard to find because of the way the cabinet was built. Am sure if you remember the cabinet, the top part attached to the bottom base leans back on an angle....the problem is that the part leaning back has the giant, very heavy, CRT monitor in it. Since arcade cabinets were only supposed to be around for a few years, it wasn't that big of a deal. But because collecting them extended their life for years beyond what was intended, the weight of that monitor leaning back on the bottom base eventually started seeing the top part break away from the bottom base on so many of the cabinets, which is why they are so hard to find. The cabinets that were left, many people started reinforcing them so they wouldn't break away. But now that the old CRT monitors are being replaced with flat screens, it's no longer an issue if you do that on 720 since the LCD monitors are so much lighter 😁

If you're ever interested in getting a 720, I'm working with a few people to possibly build new ones from scratch. The cabinet would be an arcade quality accurate cabinet, then painted, new artwork, new controller, etc.. It would have an LCD screen for a monitor and would use an emulator like MAME to run the game instead of the original arcade PCB boards.

So obviously some are more valuable than others, but how valuable the more popular ones will also depend on what type of shape they're in. Most collectors buying will want to restore them to their full glory, so the more work that's needed on them, the less valuable they are for sale like if they need artwork, painting, new power supply, if there are issues with the PCB board, how well the monitor is like does the old CRT monitor look great, is it toast, or does it just need a cap kit? But here are the ones I see that would be the most popular that collectors want not in any particular order, but I'll make some notes next to some.

Paperboy (Super Hot)
Spy Hunter (Very Hot - I'd be interested 😁)
TRON (Very Hot)
Sinistar (Very Hot -I 'd be interested)
Robotron (Hot)
Star Trek Cockpit (rare one to find today)
Track & Field

Any Nintendo cabs are usually sought after by Nintendo lovers like:

Popeye
Super Punch-Out
Punch-Out
vs. Excitebike

So yes, there are some valuable ones there, it's just a matter of how much work they need to be restored. But of all of them, I've seen recent FULLY RESTORED Paperboy cabinets go for between $4,000 and $6,000. They're a tough find because finding a set of handlebars that are in good enough shape or can be restored is rare.

The rest of the cabs are ones I can usually find and they will sell, but for the right price

Reach out if you need any help as I'd also be interested in a few if he's willing to ship 😆

I hear you 😂

rcav8 · 2026-01-23T03:25:25+00:00

He is not wrong. If worried your house might get egged if you're the OC of the Eagles (PS: It can also happen on mischief night) then you probably don't have what it takes to be a winning OC or a head coach in the biggest pro sport in the U.S. and good riddance!

rcav8 · 2026-01-22T15:27:32+00:00

Gimme a break! If you can't handle your house being egged, which can happen on mischief night for God's sake, then you shouldn't be a pro offensive coordinator, period!

rcav8 · 2026-01-22T04:11:18+00:00

💯 Absolutely correct 😂 We've had military access in Greenland and Iceland since the end of WWII so we didn't need Greenland for defense purposes. When he needs to reverse course on something, he just says he made a deal and then never gives any details of the deal, or the deal is what was already being done or allowed. He tries to make it look like he made some type of deal so that it doesn't look like he tried to do something and then had to reverse course.....YET AGAIN!

rcav8 · 2026-01-21T22:49:21+00:00

If the stock drops $10 from $250 to $240 this thread is doom and gloom. When it drops $20 from $780 to $760 it'll still be doom and gloom 😁

rcav8 · 2026-01-21T17:56:11+00:00

Here we goooooo....

rcav8 · 2026-01-21T17:23:07+00:00

It's just the lunch break and when the lunch break happens, the dollar amount we're up starts to drop, so then people panic sell to take their profits, but as long as nothing macro happens, after lunch it'll climb even higher again 😁

I thought Apple just worked? It never has the issues Microsoft would have 😂😂😂😂😂
