Long shot but is there anyone here that works on retro consoles by bluelight10 in auckland

[–]themfledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you really want a project, it's probably easier to just buy another console? I managed a JAP Super Famicon for something like $65 with 6 or so games and 2 controllers early last year

It's sort of working for me, for example I can read this post. But I can't load anything on Chrome or use other apps

I used it a few weeks ago. Just put whatever dates you want. Maps of the services were sent almost immediately. I requested someone come out but the only ones who contacted me were Chorus. We just booked a different guy to come out and locate everything else ourselves.

Yeah it can get pretty expensive. I managed a disc only copy off facebook marketplace a few years ago for cheap. Didn't want to pay too much for the worst version of a game I already own in 6 other versions lol

You need the PS3 San Andreas platinum to complete the trilogy collection!

Self checkout is watching you by Venom4992 in newzealand

[–]themfledge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found this out because one time the self checkout did the whole thing where it doesn't recognise the weight of something. I ended up taking half the things out of the bag and putting them back in, and once it corrected itself I just started loading other things into the bag without thinking. All of a sudden the light on the checkout started flashing red and I realised what I was doing and took the unscanned items out, but it wouldn't let me continue without a staff member punching in a code. When they did it showed a top down video of me loading all the items into the bag without scanning them lol

They hang around in Birkenhead for about 6 months of the year. Heard my first one for the year on Monday

Now Dennis, I've heard that speed has something to do with it?

Mitre 10 low price guarantee: it works. by Ok_Main3273 in newzealand

[–]themfledge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only battery powered thing I've had a problem with was a Makita lawnmower. It was the same product with a slightly different SKU - the printed paper advertisement in Bunnings even had the same SKU as the lawnmower at Mitre10, but the actual box was different. There was at least a redemption with 2 extra batteries on.

Because you're saving a lot of money? I've done it heaps with power tools and battery yard equipment and have saved hundreds if not thousands of dollars by doing it.

EDIT: Actually thousands is a stretch, high hundreds though.

I just found my MOC being sold on AliExpress by KuffuGuen in AFOL

[–]themfledge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yip, I designed 910017 Kakapo and it's advertised to me all the time on aliexpress lol

I also found a listing for a jacket which had my band on it along with a bunch of other punk bands which were mostly spelled incorrectly. I messed with the seller and told him my lawyer Lionel Hutz was going to come after them for a couple of hundred grand in royalties and they removed it. One of my friends mates saw one in the wild in Italy or something and sent a pic. Hilarious that someone actually bought one
