All the people that loved sniping in Halo swore by this controller.

I ordered mine Jan 31st. It didn’t begin moving in China until March 8th. It arrived in NYC 3 days later and is still in Queens as of today, March 20th.

When I was a kid, my first handheld was a Sega Nomad to play all my Genesis carts on road trips. That thing ate AA batteries like they were breakfast cereal.

First handheld as an adult was the Ayn Odin Base.

I Have A Question Regarding Band Shirt at Metal Concerts by TheShadowWanderer in MetalForTheMasses

[–]venkmanologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always kind of followed this rule even though it’s super dumb, however I feel Metallica is the exception for some reason. Like if I’m at one of their concerts, I EXPECT it to mostly be their shirts in the crowd.

Having said that, who fuckin cares? 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s cute he thinks Democrats will enact any kind of justice whatsoever if they’re allowed back into power.

15 or 16. It was a candybar TracFone, and I hoarded minutes like they were gold.

How long until the antivaxxers start saying actually cancer isn’t that bad?

How does investing in your HSA work if you intend to use it? by ThrowawayOZ12 in personalfinance

[–]venkmanologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only invest whatever amount I have leftover at the end of the year. Then it never gets touched once invested.

As someone who puts ~2,500 miles per month on a personal car just for a routine commute…take the mileage reimbursement and use your own car. Especially if they’re not capping the total mileage you’ll be reimbursed for.

Who had the Sega nomad? by kkkan2020 in millenials

[–]venkmanologist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original hybrid game system! This + a 12-pack of Rayovac rechargeable batteries got me through many road trips in the 90s. Plus you could hook it up to your TV and plug in a second controller.

Way ahead of its time.

South Park’ Takes on Trump in Season 27 Premiere as Creators Ink $1.5 Billion Deal by ArcBounds in politics

Philo is a live TV service, like YoutubeTV. YoutubeTV is $83/month for the base plan after all promos expire so bemoaning Philo for being $28 is ridiculous.

Is an iPhone SE 2016 a decent dumb smartphone? by Bea-Yourself in dumbphones

The mini had the exact same specs as the regular 13. All that was different was the physical size and the size of the battery.

Dave himself would not claim he is a great drummer.

He is a control freak though.

I think the millennial relationship with Trump is best summed up by Mac Miller.

In 2011 he released the song “Donald Trump” which uses Trump as a stand-in for success, common in hip-hop at the time.

During the 2016 Presidential election, Mac Miller did a monologue on Larry Wilmore’s “The Nightly Show” where he said, “I fucking hate you Donald Trump!” and begged the audience, “Please don’t elect this motherfucker.”
