  1. The Wife got me The Outer Worlds and Civilization 6 for X1. Probably the last modern games I'm getting for awhile. Not into it as much, the classics just keep drawing me in.

  2. I'm taking donations for The Human Fund. Please be generous!

      Insuffient fund to dispense to humans.

  3. Amazon is recommending an anime to me I've never heard of: Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie (4K). It's from the early 1980's, and looks interesting. Chances of me liking it? I like Royal Space Force, Fire & Ice, Appleseed...

    1. x=usr(1536)

      x=usr(1536)

      It's fun.  Dates from around 1983, IIRC, and definitely fits with the type of anime that was coming out at that time.  Not sure that it's one I'd spend money on owning, but if it's free on Prime give it a shot and see what you think.

      That was turned into a Sega CD game!

  4. Got lucky today. My boiler went out, and the only repair was changing the thermocouple for the pilot. My boiler is around 70 years old, so I was freaking out earlier, not prepared to spend that kind of money for a new one!

      Love those inexpensive, easy solutions.

  5. The Impossible Whopper only tastes like a real whopper because its saturated in beef grease from being cooked on the same grill

      It's better than the real Whopper because you don't have to choke on it to be able to sue.

      BK doesn't cook anything on a grill. Their stuff is steamed after being freeze-dried.

      mmmmm . . . saturated fat

  6. My BLT drive on my computer just went AWOL, and I have this big project due tomorrow for Mr Kawasaki. If I screw up, he'll make me commit hari-kari

  7. Listening to Huey Lewis on an 80's station. Realizing how much I don't like that band. It's ridiculous Huey Lewis and The News made it past bar band status.

      To each his own,  I think they have their moments,... if ya haven't heard it in a while it's better...I could Never stand Wham, but there's people that love them, while I'm like Stop telling me ta "jitterbug",  I kill you!

      @Kobra Kai I'm sure he would, LOL, or at least think he did.

  8. Tina Turner is pretty hot as Auntie Entity. 

  9. I've always had to rake Maple leaves every year, so I know the hard work involved. So a big shout out to my fellow leaf rakers out there!

    1. jd_1138

      jd_1138

      Don't rake.  Get a bag for your mower and mow 'em up -- way easier.  If your mower doesn't have a bagger option, buy one that has a bag.  I only paid $60 for a barely used Murray with a bag.  Or you can leave the side chute closed on it and remove the bag, and then it will mulch the leaves.  But I only deal with the leaves in the 60 foot by 80 foot fenced in backyard, so it will be clean for our dog.  I leave the leaves on the side lawn and front where they fall.  They shrivel up and become food for the grass.  I just dump the bag from the mower over the fence to the side yard.  We have 3 large maple trees.

  10. Sometimes I get a kick out of people who think they're posting a PM and post it as a personal status update instead so everyone can read it

      Random Terrain

      Reminds me of when somebody posts a question in a forum, then never posts again to let anyone know if their problem was fixed or how it was fixed. I call them Squat Dumpers. They squat, dump, then walk away without looking back.

      People confusing writing on someone's profile (or wall) with PM's... is that because they're so used to Snapchat or Twitter? I know you can PM in Farcebook, but not sure about the other two. Refuse to use 'em.

    4. KaeruYojimbo

      KaeruYojimbo

      Twitter has Direct Messages, which I think are like PMs. I don't use it enough to know what they are or how they work. My mother-in-law has developed the habit of sending group PMs on Facebook to everyone she knows instead of just making whatever it is a public post, but then posting extremely personal and private things that no one else needs to see as public posts.

  11. After almost 10 years, I'm revisiting Fallout 3 again. Still a great one!

  12. I'm not sure I like the Dreamcast version of Hydro Thunder over the N64 game. The audio actually really sucks.

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Agreed, the Midway games seem janky on Dreamcast, but polished on N64, despite the lower resolution. SF Rush 2049 on N64 is really nice. 

  13. I didn't realize Epson and other home printer manufacturers send out firmware updates disguised as security updates, so that they can invalidate 3rd party ink cartridges. Now I know. I will never update a printer again! I don't use mine enough to realize this was actually a thing.

    1. DrVenkman

      DrVenkman

      The hell of it, many of those are legit security updates designed to prevent someone from hijacking the device to use as a snoop/traffic logger on your home LAN. It's just that that they roll in the crap that lets them disable 3rd party ink and toner cartridges from working at the same time.

    2. Tickled_Pink

      Tickled_Pink

      Sounds like I'm lucky enough to own an Epson printer that's too old for them to seemingly worry about. If they had their way, I'd have had to chuck a perfectly good working printer because the waste ink reservoir was apparently full. I did buy a spare but never installed it. I've reset the page counter with a third party app and everything's tickety-boo. I'll replace the reservoir once it becomes obvious that I need to.

  14. Went to an Amish country store this weekend, you would not believe the deals. A big bundle of string cheese with about 50 sticks for $5. Its pretty far out in the sticks but worth the trip

      There are different levels of Amish.

      Correct. Nappanee Amish are level 8. They are hoping to get to level 9 but the boss is really tough!

      We have a couple of Mennonite stores around us- the quality of the food is always FANTASTIC and the prices are crazy reasonable.  Just remember to bring cash.  :)

  15. Firing up the grill maybe for the last time this year. Got some Asian BBQ marinaded pork chops...mmmm! This weekend it's cooling down quite a bit.

      Enjoy!!   I'm getting my sprinkler blow out done right now, and tomorrow they say we'll get 4-8 inches of snow!

      Grilling out ourselves tonight and yeah, may be for the last time this season too. Cheers!   ?

      Whether you say grilling out or barbecuing, it's always one of my favorite ways to eat. Here in San Jose, the weather starts to take a dip sometime after my birthday. October 18th. Every year it's nice on this day and not too much after it starts to cool down.

  16. Great name change!

  17. Time for a name change! I never really liked Nuclear Pacman all that much, but I was stuck with it. Finally decided on something I like more.

      I found the understated nuance of "Armrippers 2: Burning Triceps" to be very moving.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      And the climax of "The Right to Bare Arms",...I mean,  who saw that coming?  That was a twist for the ages!

    4. GoldLeader

      Arm?? Twist?   ?

  19. Amazon has a really good deal on the first 3 Rambo movies in 4K. $12.99 ea/ with a $3 coupon on top of that. So each one is only $9.99 at checkout. I grabbed them.

    1. Keatah

      I remember when they used to charge premium-prices for movies on the latest hi-res formats. Can't do that anymore!

       

  20. I'm interested in getting some of the emulator discs for the Dreamcast. I've seen a Colecovision disc, is there an  Intellivision set?

  21. Take Me Home Tonight is a great song...

    1. save2600

      Be my little baby... wait, that didn't come out right!  lol

  22. I played some Giga Wing tonight for the DC anniversary. 

    1. Zoyous

      Zoyous

      The game with scores so high I don't readily know how to pronounce them!

    2. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      I pulled out a couple games... Tee Off and Sega Rally II... ended up just playing one round of Tee Off and turning it off.  It was getting late and the noisy Dreamcast was giving me a headache.  lol

  23. Been trying to beat King Of Dragons solo on SNES. I have a good shot at it with the Warrior. The Dwarf is a no-go.

      I *want* to say I beat it in college.  I know I had the game, and I distinctly remember playing quite a bit of it.  It was a long time ago, though, I have no idea which character I used or if I even did get to the end...

  24. Thinking about signing up with Takl as a provider

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Looks like Uber for chores. What's the $$ split like?

    2. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      Well I'm still in the process of registering and the background check. I'm waiting to upload pictures tomorrow after I shave and stuff. It's only a fee of $2.99/month if you actually get work that month. TAKL takes a %5 fee if you do instant payment, but it looks like no fee if you do a standard payment (3 business days). Really not bad, it looks legit.

  25. It's gittin, it's gittin, it's gittin kinda hectic
