  1. Porn browsing: looking at orbitz.com's travel deals which are now 40% off. 

  2. If I'm gonna be couped up, I might as well make that TI-99/4A podcast.

  3. Suddenly everyone is using this virus as an opportunity to post condescending messages to wash their hands, like some snooty parent. C'mon you were posting memes last week.

      I AM a snooty parent ?

      I just spit in my hands and wipe them off under my arms.

      I've always adhered to the rules set out by Del tha Funkee Homosapien, m'self. 

       

  4. With classes being canceled in colleges, we are one step closer to the Ready Player One world. We just need OASIS.

      I think Liam and Noel rather shoot themselves before reuniting their band.

  5. Let's be safe: no more than 1000 twitch viewers in the same stream.

      Shouldn't be too hard for 99.9 percent of them who are just pretending others actually give a shit about anything they are doing besides wasting bandwidth.

      That sounds stupid enough to actually happen.

  6. It's official: I am Captain Slow against a bunch of Stigs in 32X Virtua Racing.

      As long as you don't "go Turbo", everything probably is fine.

      Poowwweeeer!  (I don't do a very good Jezza impression.)

  7. If you have a pet that runs a risk of running out the door & away if someone opens the door, I question your pet's loyalty. Maybe they want to go and join a band or something.

      My PET is sitting on its table in the livingroom for many years now. Actually it is more a hassle for me to move it than I fear it will move on its own.

      Some types of small dogs are less intelligent than mosquitoes, though, so I don't know if they even have a concept of loyalty.

      When I was a kid, we never had a fence at our various houses.  So we'd let our dogs out, and they'd do their business and come back in.  One of our dogs, Benji, a cockapoo, he'd sometimes go roaming. I remember once we saw him at the park a mile away.  I told him to go home, and he did.  I still miss him.  We had him 14 years from 1977 when he was a pup until 1991.

       

      My current paranoid self would've put him in the car and drove him home.  lol.  But I was only 10 and didn't drive then.

  8. Doctor Who is a show that just keeps retconning itself into pure nonsense.

      doctorclu

      I've heard an uproar over the current episode.  I think Doctor Who needs to take a break for another ten years and come back.

  9. In Audacity, what's a good effect to make it sound like you are speaking over a PA system/speakers?

  10. Home Shopping Club+ a premium, subscriber-based video streaming service where you can get access to exclusive items to buy only on there. 
     

  11. I would totally play this if it were a real game.

  12. The cruise ship industry might not be much longer.

      The industry will never go away. The quarantine experiments and inconveniences will go away. Especially in this fast-paced world. Everybody has forgotten about the 737max crisis and are going about their business just fine.

      I'd really like to do some of the music cruises some day (Keeping the Blues Alive, Monsters of Rock, Jam Cruise, Cruise to the Edge, etc).  Hard to justify the cost but it'd be a blast.  Cruises aren't going away any more than airports or travelling to China.

      I took an Alaskan cruise with Norwegian about 10 years ago.  It was really a great experience - quite enjoyable!

  13. Where do I download the latest version of MAME that has the Windows GUI frontend? It's been a while.

      I dunno I just use Mame 64 and it seems to come with a GUI...

  14. One rabbit hole that's not fun to go down: wrangling BIOS files so Retroarch actually starts & doesn't crash on your favorite console. 

  15. We'll be right back with more stuff!

  16. So I'm at a loss here. For retroarch for Windows, how do I exit a game, and return to the main menu, and NOT exit out of the emulator entirely? Strange.

      I always forget that too. On a controller with a bunch of buttons, it's L+R+Start+Select and there's a keyboard trick as well. I usually just whack ESC until it quits then start it again because it's not intuitive or memorable.

  17. Internet Explorer is the Sears of web browsers. Just stop failing...

  18. I found Bira Bira and SUMGUY. They run a coffee shop in a small town in Iowa now. 

  19. I've been to two club events that were Star Wars themed, and they both failed to play Meco's "Empire Strikes Back" disco song. What a missed opportunity.

      Hopefully they at the very least played Ewok Celebration.

      When I was a kid I remember roller skating to Meco's Theme from Star Wars,  Did they play that at least?...I never knew they did Empire Strikes Back haha...I'll have to look that one up.

  20. The ebay prices for Super Cassette Vision consoles & games make you think these things were made out of uranium or something.

      Or...Sometimes people put up Ridiculous Buy-It-Nows that don't really reflect current market prices...Always seems to happen when you're actively looking for something, and you still remember a (much Better) price from earlier...

    3. S1500

      So far, the prices I saw in stores were better than on Ebay, ranging from 80 to 120 bucks. They are over 200+ on ebay so far.

      For the system, or for a particular game? I don't quite recognize $200 for a SCV base console.

  21. Crap deals in Tokyo: A 1up Arcade(Pac man) for $600, or a loose 2600 Surround car for $32!

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Damn!  (Hopefully there's also some decent deals?)  I'd say buy some Famicom or PC Engine games and call it a day!

  22. I'll be jonesin' for a cigarette, but Wednesday night I'll be in Tokyo. Aww yeah. 

    1. Random Terrain

      You smoke cigarettes? That's so 20th century. All the cool kids smoke crystal meth these days.

  23. Whoa whoa whoa.....it's Rizzo!

      Jerky Boys reference?

  24. I miss the quick dialog for making status updates. Also, I'm enjoying The Outer Worlds.

      THE OUTER WORLDS is great. I'm playing it on PC though the latest patch has made my game stuttery as crap (Core i7-6820HK and GTX1070). It was running silk smooth before this past week. Oh well. ? I hope it's not a sign of my save getting corrupted or something - I'm probably 70% of the way through or more and I don't want to start over.

      MrMaddog

      Yes, that and having my response instanly appear...

       

      Plus Outer Worlds is awesome, whenever I get a chance to play it.

      The bug where status replies don't appear right away is fixed in the new version of the software (thankfully).  I'll update the forum software early next week.  Don't want to do it over the weekend in case something goes catastrophically awry, as I won't be able to get support on the weekend.

  25. On a  fair weather day, I can make a huge gust of wind start. How? Start pumping gas. Boom, temp decreases by 12 right there.
