  1. Seems common courtesy is out the window.  Today (ish) 2 employees at work quit.   One lady (almost 50) didn't show,  sent a text to quit.  At least she sent a text...Then a kid (Gen Z?...Younger than a millennial) just didn't show up as often happens.  No biggie I guess,  in the grand scheme of things.  I should be in bed a few hours ago...And I don't feel like going outside in the darkness and yelling at clouds in the night sky.

      The restaurant business is definitely a hard business and to have people leave you high and dry on top of it would be awful. I agree, no one in that line of work gets paid as much as they should for how hard you all work. :(

  2. Just got my first 13” crt television since I was a kid (With wood grain!). Can’t wait to hook the Atari up to it, but I threw my back out lol, can barely walk or sit up. Might be a few days.

      I remember those shows (intro songs are now playing in my head lol) and definitely played a lot of NES on ours as well. 
       

      As for the back pain. Thanks for the tip! I have looked up exercises on YouTube. They were too painful to do at first. I could barely find a position that didn’t get a sharp excruciating pain, but I did manage to do some of them once the pills kicked in.

      Thanks guys, the pills for the pain are starting to kick in a bit now. Hopefully it won’t be long, never had this happen before, so not really sure what to expect.

       

      I did get a chance to turn on the T.V. With nothing hooked up to it and just seeing the static alone hit me with an unexpected bit of nostalgia. It definitely does feel different looking at those screens and turning those knobs.

  4. Just beat Bowser in Super Mario Odyssey. SMO has entered my personal top 10 ever, easily. Absolutely brilliant platformer, and this post-game content could keep me occupied for a couple of months. Wow!

     

    Time to shift gears to an RPG for a change of pace, though: Ys VIII. 

  5. Screw it. Pitfall is a damn tough game. It appears very simple, but requires pin point accuracy. I don't think I've ever completed all 20 minutes.

      Either can I. I've always had a hard time with the scorpion. Feel like you need to be pixel perfect

  7. Did the Atari Homebrew game “Dungeon” ever have a box release? If so, does anyone know if this is something that may be restocked eventually?

      Thank you :) I would love to have that poster and map as well. Beautiful art and love your design on the game. I’ll definitely be asking him about it.

  8. My mom passed away this morning.  She was not only my mom, but a friend. 

  9. Any North American ZX Spectrum fans out there or am I the only one?

      Haven’t got to try one yet but have been watching YouTube videos on the old computer. Also the ZX Spectrum Next looks very cool. Would love to have one.

  10. After three very long frustrating nights, I just killed the largest bug I ever killed!! He was a sneaky bugger, almost didn't even see him. But I got him, and man it feels good. ?

      That advice could have saved me a lot of headache ?
