    Regardless there is no point in creating a new thread when an existing thread exists. As I think you're starting to find out. If you want to talk about N64 simply start a new subject in the current existing thread, it doesn't matter that there is already 6 years of content in that thread as new posts will be bumped to the top and anyone interested in the subject can choose whether they add to it or not. Attempting to take away or compete with the existing thread is pointless and just adds to the problem. Imagine if everyone who had a particular subject of interest just created a brand new thread when a current one already exists, pointless.

    "VS" Threads, this computer VS that computer, this console VS that console....."VS" Threads SUCK. 🧐

      What's Better?:  You can keep reading GoldLeader's Status Update replies  or get poked in the head with something that's only kinda sharp?

      I'm tellin' ya, a game where Mario, Sonic, Master Chief, Pac-Man, the Landers from Defender, Q*Bert, K.C. Munchkin, Tron, and the Centipede all have superpowers and live together in a super high-tech undersea fortress and fight crime would be an awesome game.  Then on weekends they all party down Saturday Night Live style, and you get to go along with them. Also there are some aliens and shooting stuff and driving.  The Kerbal Space Program takes them to the moon, too.

       

      This is the game that Atari needs to make as a VCS exclusive.

      Hell,  They make THAT game and maybe I'll even buy one ;)

    Only if it's in Tommy's skull. He is getting all he deserves and maybe not even enough.

    just got a nice screen protector for my iPad mini. After taking about 40 min to assure not air bubbles or dust were present I managed to apply it, very pleased with result. Best of all with the stylus has a little drag now and matte finish so not so smooth like on glass, feels more like paper. Tested to make sure, hey I’m no pro but it’s honest art at least 😛to be fair I used the simplest drawing program, no layers or magnification, literally the same as drawing with colored pencils so I am pleased. At least I can make something without a reference. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      If it took 40 minutes, it probably was good that you didn't bite your lip in the process.

    "I am not going to go into the 'which machine was better' argument" Then why comment HERE? That is the point of THIS THREAD, so continuing a conversation about the questions you have asked would derail this topic. You should have asked your questions in a new separate thread.....................

      To celebrate Women's Day, upon the request from one of our female employees, today we lowered the volume on the lunch room speaker so she could hear what she was thinking. Wasn't that a nice gesture?

    Yeah, I don't believe this 😂If this was true the method would be talked about more and everyone would be doing it.

    Those symbols and lines sound like the simple boot screen of many arcade games of the time, it's normal.

    Pretty sure he finally transitioned into a rom and can only be contacted through emulation 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

    Who remembers? I recall being into tech as I am following these stories. Linux / Open Source consoles that never got farther than the prototype stages. Were they simply too ambitious? AHEAD OF THEIR TIME MAYBE? After all Valve proved Linux based gaming systems CAN be successful even though their first attempt also failed.

    😝🤷 Found two of these fellas sitting down on our lobby "help yourself" shelf. Any idea who this character is? Is he like a bargain bin version of some other character? I can't find any identifying brand marks on him. 😆

      Well, you could give one the smell test.  If it has that strong, plastic smell that many cheap toys have from China, then it's likely from a Dollar store.

      If you still use a landline grab the V-tech behind them.  Excellent phone. :)

      @Crash7 Indeed, I brought the figures up, this is the corner of my desk! Yes, we still use a landline because we get maybe 20 calls a year that aren't marketing or the wrong number 🤷‍♂️Landline plus Ignite Internet 1.5 Gigabit plan. All we need, we don't have, use or need mobile phones because when we are out and about phone calls can wait, our devices (her iPhone and my iPad Mini 5 and Android phone) can access Free Shaw WiFi with wide overage throughout the city. It's funny though because so many people, services and companies are STUNNED that we exist without mobile phones in 2024 🧐anytime we are asked for our cell number and explain neither of us has them we always get a pause or a deer in the headlights look from them, yes one CAN exist with mobile phone service, it can be somewhat inconvenient at times sure, and some react like we are Luddites or something, hilarious since my wife handles I.T. support for the provinces health authority and I been into tech since I first saw a pixel on a screen. It's about "choice" and not buying something simply because everyone else does. Now my wife DOES have an iPhone SE and for the first time this year, as we head to Mexico for a week's vacation, she has contracted an E-Simm service data plan just for the duration of our trip, this will cost bout $ 12 USD 😝

    Really WHO CARES? This type of stuff is endless I promise you, enjoy what you enjoy and ignore the rest. 🤷‍♂️
  17. OldSchoolRetroGamer
    Love this idea!

    😎 At my age for my birthday I asked only for a nice craft beer to go with a nice dinner. Had steak and mushrooms for dinner and got 3 cool beers😆 don’t drink much these days but it’s a nice surprise on my birthday and a treat. And for a snack one damn hot Pepperoni stick!

      Funnily @GoldLeader, my best (childhood) friend was born on 9/11, and my favorite movie director as well! But yeah, I often think it must suck. 😰

      What is March 14 then?

    3. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      I don't know what's official but a google search gave me: 

      How many National Pie Days are there?
       
       
      two different National Pie Days
       
      Many Americans savor a slice of the popular dessert, which is so popular that there are two different National Pie Days. It's celebrated December 1 in addition to January 23, which is the more popularly celebrated. But there is a little bit more confusion.1

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      MARCH 14th sounds good though 🤷🏻‍♂️😝

      Why do men celebrate March 14?
       
       
      Steak and Blowjob Day (sometimes Steak & BJ Day or Steak and Knobber Day) is a satirical unofficial holiday created in the United States as a male response to Valentine's Day and celebrated a month later, on March 14.

    Accounts and posts don't generally get deleted as that would screw up the forum every time someone made such a request, the responses and replies etc. You are not that integral to the forums, simply don't log in and hey it's just like your stuff has been deleted, out of sight, out of mind, return or don't 🤷🏼‍♂️Maybe you will figure out how forums and online communities work someday and realize you are the problem, maybe not, either way, Sayonara!
  24. OldSchoolRetroGamer
    If he does I suspect it will be pretty obvious considering his style and content 😏
  25. OldSchoolRetroGamer
    Agreed for sure though considering how much he was posting here I wonder what his next move is, he's been banned elsewhere so he may just have to stick to a personal blog 😂
