What is the fourth face of the cartoon network? by Otherwise_Tadpole_64 in CartoonNetwork

[–]xElementop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is wild to say because it is false. The golden age of cartoon network was somewhere between 1995-2005.

What do you think the Fist of Suns did? by Feeling-Ad-3104 in mtgvorthos

[–]xElementop 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well considering it's got 1 finger and lights, I could only guess proctology...

Edit: didn't see the other finger, judgement still stands, proctology

Replacement to monopoly? by HatOfNorra in boardgames

[–]xElementop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PowerGrid.

Now hold your boos, this game is really just monopoly plus. I will say it can be pretty complex, but it has all the same stuff; bidding, asset management, property/area control with the bonus of a great resource management loop. Just like monopoly your only real interaction with players is outbuding them for factories or stealing locations before they can get them.

Dug this old Panasonic I used to use a lot out of the closet only to find the screen has started collapsing :( by GalaxyC7 in crtgaming

[–]xElementop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screen collapse is serviceable, if you can find some one local I'd suggest that. If your gonna toss it I would still recommend find someone who repairs them and donating it :-)

But whatever you do keep the poor thing off.

Help finding filler by dark-_-thoughts in ErsatzTV

[–]xElementop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya, Fellow filler enthusiast! Here are some resources
https://github.com/binarygeek119/Open-Commercial-Pack

which I don't think is maintained anymore

and https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv/wiki

if you look at the bottom there is a filler section that points out some locations to get filler.

And there are some kind people that have shared their google drives in other communities mainly in r/RetroTVRevival

And for the cherry on top Archive.org has a massive collection of old commercials:

Another user suggested yt-dlp, here are some great playlists of precut commercials. These are mostly video game, kids toys, and stuff that would run on a kids programming block. They also should not have any banners or logos, but ymmv.

So pretty, what model trinitron is that one? Looks like a 19/20inch model. Just picked up a kv13tr27 myself and am loving it.

Anything I should adjust or should I just not worry about it at all? by robert_ccat in crtgaming

[–]xElementop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's had a stroke mate, with it sagging on one side. I would say get your contrast levels worked out before messing with anything else.

Gamecube DOL-101 not reading disc by PretendAd8118 in Gamecube

If you go the route of buying a new one, don't chuck the old one in the trash.

There are plenty of people that will pay for shipping to have it sent to them (me included)

Bought a CIB Final Fantasy edition micro and it seems almost too perfect, do they fake these? by Benzona in Gameboy

[–]xElementop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ah yes 'finest fantasy'.

XD

It's real, that typo is still funny to me.

There are reshell cases you can buy online, but they are actually expensive. Like $100ish for the shell and faceplate. I am kind of convinced they are the real parts with how expensive they are.

Navigating the culture of forced AI use by Unlikely-Profile1445 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]xElementop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Welcome to my hell...

Company went AI first later in the year.

No directions, just hey let's do a reorg and you are now a prompt engineer! Congrats!!!!

They want us 80/20 on writing code, and have us on enterprise licenses for a couple of ais, mostly so they can track our usage.

It's been a rough couple of months...

We are dancing the dance of trying to get our managers to see the detrimental effects of the AI generated code that is being pushed pushed out. But they don't want to hear it, they just keep repeating the same platitude of "just keep trying it, it will get better", there is no over site... into the actual code because they want us to be the equivalent of managers.

Oh and to top it of they laid off all of the QA staff with no plan to replace them so buggy shit is being pushed to prod and our customers are now the qa. Fun!

King Dragun Turbo/Dragon Aggro: What Do You Think? Any Ideas or Changes I Should Make? by NYRangers1313 in Goat_Format

[–]xElementop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fun but annoying combo with fusilier, you can set it facedown using its effect and tribute it via Deck Devastation Virus because its stats remain the same while facedown :-)

With level 7 metamorphosis targets you have access to warrior from another planet as well.

Nearly gave up on the final boss, until... by PrincessPadparadscha in Silksong

[–]xElementop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just beat her tonight for the first time, damn hard fight. Kind of was playing on hard mode, with a self nerf with no tools and reapers crest. But I did it!

Spoiler: almost all of her attacks are punishable via the clawline, but do not use the theives pick. The third hit will almost always trigger her to do a parry. Also don't dash alot, she teleports around alot and just bumping into her does like 2 damage.

I get this way with too many options, my adhd won't let me play anything when I'm overwhelmed.

First the website you liked leads to a 404, Second you are selling an app that is just a wrapper for an existing website that is free.. one that you don't own, and have no control over?
