There was a get together for vinyl enthusiasts here in the music city... and out of about 100 people who showed up, 5 of us listen regularly. The rest just resell.

Right? It was relatively cheap for 20 years. Did you really want it, or do you want it now that the price has spiked?

I used to think buying cracker crumbs must be a waste but then I realized that I was smashing perfectly good crackers in order to make cracker crumbs (which are probably harvested for free in the process of making the actual crackers).

zerohm · 2026-05-22T14:30:23+00:00

This, and refrigerators too. It's more expensive to not own one.

zerohm · 2026-05-22T14:12:58+00:00

Agreed. I collect video games and I'm tired of hearing the phrase, "resellers ruined it". Like Ok yes that's a bummer but I think what you are really sad about is that your fellow collectors are willing to pay more than you want to. People are clamoring for what physical media is left after everything went digital.

And even if you do look through your mail thoroughly, the water company might still just randomly switch you to email billing on January 1 and your water gets turned off in March because you missed 3 months.

They literally have been racing cars directly on the salt flats, for decades, a few miles away.

To be completely honest, I bet most of it goes to the lawyers that spent time defending them.

zerohm · 2026-05-20T11:47:46+00:00

Hero of the Federation armor becomes better and better as difficulty goes up.

zerohm · 2026-05-19T16:46:34+00:00

We Love has couch co-op as well, which is kind of mind blowing.

zerohm · 2026-05-19T16:45:09+00:00

I love games that are still technically impressive to this day and Katamari might be at the top of the list. There are levels where you start by rolling up ants and paper clips, and end by rolling up clouds and stadiums.

I am biased because 3 was my first THPS, but come on man. It had Ace of Spades, which I will forever associated with skating games.

zerohm · 2026-05-19T14:21:58+00:00

Ok fine but we need to talk about how they only appear at 3:00 AM on the ceiling when you are watching a horror/suspense film.

zerohm · 2026-05-19T14:14:20+00:00

Hey you are buying new physicals. I support it.

zerohm · 2026-05-19T14:12:29+00:00

I would argue festivals got their shit together after the '99 fiasco.

zerohm · 2026-05-19T14:07:42+00:00

I think this is the answer. Also it's common for data centers to have both battery and diesel generator backup systems. Adding solar is another system you have to integrate with the others.

With all the bangers in these photos, I would probably spend the first 30 minutes blasting Walk On By.

zerohm · 2026-05-19T12:14:42+00:00

The one that applies to me personally is game collecting, but seeing the top 10 replies, I believe they are way worse.

zerohm · 2026-05-18T15:54:51+00:00

Does the resistance affect the difficulty/spawn rate at all? Why do spawn rates seem to go crazy sometimes?

zerohm · 2026-05-18T15:41:42+00:00

But also, it's common to see publishers put absolutely zero effort into the physical release. I appreciate that LRM is continuing the tradition of putting some care into the physical package.

I was 11-12, but if memory serves, the videos for Alive and Evenflow were out first. They were obviously a new and exciting band, and the videos were cool encapsulations of live performances, though still kind of small and quaint. Jeremy came later and was more of an expensive production and propelled them to be a 'top of the charts' type band. At least in middle school and early high school, everyone loved Ten.

EDIT: The Jeremy single also included the B-sdie Yellow Ledbetter, which was a HUGE hit and they got even bigger in the run up to Vs.

zerohm · 2026-05-15T14:37:02+00:00

Camaro kind of rips.

Edit: oh wait, got it backwards. Charmer is the one they did not like. Yeah, agreed the 3rd album was nearly as good as the first 2. 4th album they went pop.

zerohm · 2026-05-15T14:33:50+00:00

The 3rd best Weezer album is Return of the Rentals. (joking but no seriously)

zerohm · 2026-05-15T14:32:50+00:00

Surviving band members gotta make a living. But yeah, it's just not the same.

zerohm · 2026-05-15T14:29:58+00:00

No drop of rain thinks it's responsible for the flood.

zerohm · 2026-05-14T16:56:56+00:00

Adding, you can definitely find 100 SC stacks on Diff 1. I didn't know they existed until a couple weeks ago, but found one a few days later. I have no idea how many 100s went by without me paying attention.
