      Does anyone know the make and part number  for the potentiometer knobs on atari video music?,  Since I  got it working, I want to replace the  missing potentiometer knob on the left contour pot

      Anyone else order ALIEN ABDUCTION today?  In the morning before I'd slept (acid reflux messed w/ me all night), I tried and it said Available Later Today...Returned and got the Collector's Edition ordered this afternoon! (#199)  I wanted the additional ROM for the Harmony cart...I know there's been some drama surrounding this game,  but the screenshots I've seen look Killer!  (Haven't watched it in action,  Don't want to ruin my Joy of Discovery!)

        @jd_1138 holy cow, 5 to 6 times a day BEFORE taking fiber? People usually talk about taking fiber because they're constipated. Didn't know that fiber also fixed the hyper poops.

        @Random Terrain - I feel ya. Am an LPN, and a family of nurses more educated than me, but still...I don't have a lot of faith in the doctor medicine. Have pain that would equate their treatment, but no thanks, y'know.

        @Rogerpoco, yeah "Super Enzymes help to optimize the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and protein" so they're not really considered medicine. I haven't noticed any negative side effects (taking them since 2015) like we can get with actual medicine.
      5. GoldLeader

        Whoops a Dog!  I somehow started the Acid Reflux Thread!  I appreciate all of the advice.  Usually I take Famotidine and have no issues,  but I forgot and was out with friends.  One beer and too much Mexican food later,  **BAM**  It hasn't happened to me in a while,  but yeah, it was rough...Also had been sick (food issue) earlier in the week, like throwing up sick so I was still recovering...No worries as I'm better now and the system is getting back to normal...
      6. GoldLeader

        @Random Terrain I'm gonna try those Enzymes!  One thing I already have in my cupboard is Papaya Enzymes,  and then I am a fan of Pineapple too (Sometimes fresh sometimes canned),...I was about to get it on Amazon,  but I'm sure our Natural Grocer's probably has it right now,...After my friend leaves I'll swing by tomorrow...

      My $50 (mostly boxes/manuals, no floppies, but still) Amiga haul today. https://social.sdf.org/@deepthaw/112622284861542776 Why isn’t game art this good anymore 
    • Random Terrain

      It seems you can't change the lives of beggars in Fable 2. You can give them hundreds of thousand of dollars, diamonds, and all kinds of food. They'll just sit there begging forever no matter what you do. You can even have a beggar follow you to a different town and leave them there, but the beggar will be back at the same old spot.
       
      I heard that AI will soon let you make your own games just by telling it what you want. When "soon" comes, I'm going to have AI make a game where you can have a real impact on all lives in the game. Fable 2 was almost there, but it didn't go the rest of the way. (Fable 3 took away the wheel of interaction, so that made things worse.)
      1. GoldLeader

        I'd just give the beggars all they want,...And then if they don't change,  I'd hit'em upside the head with my sword!
         
        (That'll teach e'm!)
      2. GoldLeader

        OK You can probably tell I've never actually played a Fable game,  but fear not,  I do have one or both downstairs in a milk crate of XBOX stuff my friend gave me,  so...Some day I will
      3. Random Terrain

        If you like freedom of interaction, Fable 2 is better than Fable 3. In Fable 2, you have a whole wheel of options.
      4. Jess Ragan

        Some things are just fated to happen. Remember Bill Murray in Groundhog Day? He couldn't save the beggar no matter what he did, either.
      5. GoldLeader

        (just looked them up)  Oh,  I only have the first one...Don't have an XBOX 360...
