Cobra Kai

Kobra Kai wins the Internet today I think!

Right? Was hopefull for the PS5, so I could get rid of my 1-4, but doesn't look like that's happening. I'm done, I done have room or bandwidth for more consoles!

What service is Amazon not providing?

Do you use Prime Video? If so, they're providing their services.

They are not providing 2-day prime delivery on any goods they deem non-essential. That is a major component of the prime fee, and the primary reason I pay for Prime. I am not discussing Covid19 and the good of humanity. If a service is paid for in full, compensation is due to services withheld, much like the auto-insurance example.

I looked through and tossed my public school records recently.  Totally a misspent youth.  Luckily i did the Army before college to straighten up a bit. 

I had to do Saturday detention for a month -- 8 hours a day, but it wasn't because I was bad.  We moved in the middle of the year, and my old school started 2 weeks later, so I was 10 days short.  The law said you needed to attend a certain number of days to graduate, and I'd have been short.  The principal said if I go to Saturday detention for a month, he'd pass me for the year.  I just did all my homework, papers, projects during that 32 hours.  

@jd_1138  Sounds like a good way to do it, getting homework done etc.,.  But  Damn, that must have sucked losing a month of weekends.  We had one Saturday school day to make up for a snow day once in grade school and I couldn't stand it!

I've always considered you a very essential person.

After "non-essential businesses" closed down, my sister and her husband found a giant line at the (usually desolate) liquor store...Inside, the owner said "This IS an Essential Business!"      Hell Yeah it is!!

Now they look to be too expensive to reacquire. I rode my PUCH moped to KMART in another town to buy them one at a time. Ah, memories.

I have a Nelsonic Pac-Man watch, but instead of the buttons it has a tiny joystick. Plays a decent game of Pac-Man, too!

My cousin had that one! I played the crap out of it. I remember it would leave an indentation on my thumb.

That article talks about nerds staying home for days at a time. I think I've gone at least 6 months without leaving the house many times over the years.

I have no issue with sports being cancelled because: A: Idiots were jumping quarantine to go to sporting events and, B: I can actually enjoy listening to my vintage radios while working on stuff both inside and outside the house. Ohio is sports obsessed and weekends are almost endless games with hours of droning pre and post-game shows.

And the geeks have inherited the earth...

Wow, it's nice and sunny, but really windy. It's never fun raking in the wind, but I got it done. Old leaves, pine needles and pine cones mostly.

Good Job!

Even after 3-4 days in the 50's here, I still have a mini glacier in my front yard that resists melting... and now it's snowing again...

What kind of pizza? When we do frozen pizza, it's either Drafthaus and Lotzza Mozza these days. 

Haha, just a cheap Tombstone. Sometimes if they are on sale, a Digornios or Screamin Sicilian. But I won't spend more than $5 on frozen pizza. We have great Italian pizza in my town at many places, so if it's not cheap frozen pizza, it's $20-25 for a quality pie.

Looks like a muskrat is essentially a smaller version of a beaver...    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muskrat

Dang.  Everyone beat me to the muskrat love references. 

Glad it got out OK!  Was it going in or out?  I hope it didn't cross the yard, then get stuck on the other side haha...We had muskrats where I used to work in this pond, and once I saw one cross in front of my car and I wasn't sure what it was because it looked like a big beaver, but with a different tail, but pretty sure that's what it was...Also I always used to see these much smaller ones in Sloan's Lake in Lion's Park.

I was about to pre-order the Evercade with all the carts each of the past two weekends before backing out.  It seems like a cool gadget but then I look at the retro collections I have on my Switch or 3DS and I begin to question how often I would touch them.  I look at the retro games I have on my TV based consoles and I don't touch them at all.  At this point, I'll hold off and keep my money in my pocket.  There isn't a single title so far on the Evercade that I MUST HAVE that I don't already have.  There is some 16 bit stuff that I'm a bit interested in, but not enough to make a purchase. 

If I had some spare dough,  I'd probably want one.  Nothing to spare at the moment though, esp. with the NT Mini coming out in July one last time,...and the fact that I rarely play handhelds even though I have a lot of them...Hmmm.....May get one later on in life...I like their multicart approach and think the price point is pretty good.

Etsy or...?

Nah, a place called PosterGlobe on Amazon. They have a few hundred game posters, most 12 x 18, or marquee size.

OK, But you also have to take the talking dolphin!   (Was that the right movie?   Been forever)...

Deal! lol

I always categorize Street Fighter and its ilk as "VS. Fighting Games", and Final Fight and its ilk "Beat-em-ups".  It's hard to get the proper nomenclature figured out.

Just like shooters are now retroactively shoot 'em ups

Yeh, I guess Golden Axe was and still is my go to "walk along and beat people up" games.

There's a very fine line between classic rock and the origins of country.

That is a groovy song, man!

Michael Bolton's another. He had a handful of hard rock albums, rubbing elbows with Kiss and Ozzy. Then made a hard transition into pop/AC in '87.  I remember seeing one of his early videos pop up from time to time on Headbanger's Ball, which was always very weird.

Preach!

It's like I always say 8BITDO is Awesome!   Hyperkin is Awesome!  Retro-Bit is Crap!

Now I have to buy the 8bitdo Genesis wireless controller! Honestly, the Retro-Bit controller itself it pretty nice, but the hassle of reconnecting the dang thing every time I power up is super annoying.

Amazon's stock ticker is AMZN.  And I Highly recommend it!!  

Hope you aren't getting headaches wearing the old prescription!   

I'm 51 and have had progressives for about 6 years.  Fortunately I've had the same prescription the past 3 years.   Presbyopia truly sucks since the sides/peripheral vision is always unclear now, and I have to direct my head straight-on to see things clearly, like reading smaller signs while driving.  Even if I get laser/lasic .. the bifocal/reading problem wouldn't  get fixed.   I will say my own anecdotal experience --  both I and wife went to Walmart optical first to save money, but those progressive lenses were CRAP compared to going to a real eye optician . My 1st pair, from Walmart optical, if I moved my head, the floor rolled like waves of the sea!   My 2nd pair on (from my usual family eye doctor) were much better quality.   I now get digital (they scan your eyes).  Other than the side-view blurriness, I don't even think about it most times.  

Costco has a good optical department -- their lenses are high quality and include anti-scratch and anti-glare coatings in the very reasonable price. They don't take insurance but that's OK because they're cheap anyway. They have some fashionable frames and are happy to fill another doctor's prescription. I've been happy with them for my eyeglasses needs. 

Now that I have IOLs (look it up) I kinda miss their glasses department. 

Yeah, definitely have this running headache from the strain of an old prescription. I'm prone to migraines anyway. I usually pay quite a bit for lenses because I have to have every amenity for my job (UV protection, anti-glare, scratch resistance etc..). I get nice quality frames too because I like the light weight and durability, they can get banged  around once in awhile. Unfortunately I didn't break them because of my job, although I'm not sure the boss would have compensated me anyway.

I loved Metal Black ever since I emulated it on MAME.

Nice, on what system did you get that compilation for?

PS2

Congrats, that's a hard game.

Yeah Good Job!   I've never put in the time...

I did it a few years ago.  I remember REALLY sweating that final battle, but pulling it off.  My advice would be to play in an emulator so you can leverage a save state.

Or get a Game Genie.

Never have to worry, bout liverwurst, or waterbeds, too!

See Demi more.
