Status Updates posted by S1500

  1. Is there a way to switch back to the classic forum skin? This new one I feel like was made for people with severe vision problems.

      I generally hate change, but I confess I like the new look...I wish Status Updates were the same as before, but you can get used to things pretty quickly.

      Hold ctrl and - to reduce the size of everything on firefox.  I had to use that on another forums to reduce the font size.

      The updates used to specify the user's status update. Now it's just "a status update". A little bit of a downgrade. 

  2. Where's the "My content" forum link? That's like the only one I use on here to use the forums.

      In the "My Activity Streams" menu at the top, Albert added a few links which perform the job that "My Content" used to; the closest one would probably be "Content I Posted In."  The forums are still rebuilding, however, so the results you see there will be incomplete until that process is finished.

      That is also what I miss the most...(But Jaybird is right,  that's similar)...

      Change. It's what's for breakfast!

  3. Getting merch rung up at Sketchers. Lady just automatically tries to enroll me in the rewards program. I say "I'm opting out". Consent, it's what's for dinner.

      @Eltigro King Sooper's? (Possibly called Kroger's). I do that one too...

    3. Eltigro

      @GoldLeader Nope, but I used to have a Kroger card. This is for Brookshire's. According to Wikipedia, they're just in Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

      ^Cool...Interesting are the parallels...Save on gas & groceries, nicer than WalMart...

  4. Parallel universe news: Alex Winter will star in Cyberpunk 2077

  5. Are you proposing what I'm thinking? We're going to break INTO the prison?

  6. 15 years from now, AtGames will release a SD card compilation featuring the personalities of your favorite AtariAge personalities.

  7. Deactivated my Twitter account. It's nothing but male bashing, hair splitting and saying the N word 300 times a day.

      I try to be selective in who I follow, but it always ends up with mudslinging on my feed(even if I'm on their side). Then you get twitter users who like some of the dumbest posts ever, and you can't filter likes. You can filter retweets, but not likes. So it shows tweets I wouldn't be interested in seeing anyway.

       

      The Ben & Jerry's twitter feed is awfully political for ice cream.

      Bubsy traffic on twitter is fun and civil for the most part.

  8. After 2 failed swapmeets + Facebook marketplace, I did the right thing with the Retro Gamer magazine collection: threw them in the trash

  9. (watches Black Mirror) aand I never want to play a fighting game ever again.

      I only saw the first episode and it crushed my dreams of becoming the PM of Great Britain. I just don't feel that way about swine.

    2. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      I've never seen Black Mirror and I already never wanted to play a fighting game again... am I ahead of the curve? lol

  10. My Sony laptop doesn't read PS2 discs, yet my HP laptop does. How's that for irony?

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      To be fair (are we allowed to do that?) the Playstation division operates at a huge remove from their laptop division. I thought they spun off the VAIO line? https://www.engadget.com/2014/07/01/vaio-returns/

  11. Got my Phillips Dreamstation today, but I don't know where to put the game in.

      The meta-game of tracking your AHI by syncing it via Bluetooth to your phone is way more rewarding than any Pokémon sequel.

  12. In the 2001 movie "Bully", there seems to be a MK ripoff made just for the movie.

  14. Garage sale coming up. It will be refreshing to get rid of my old games I have zero desire to finish. Gotta de-clutter.

      I'm doing my best to simply wreck the planet and drive civilization into an absolute hellhole so that I don't have to buy any VR to play Fallout VR.

      We got the original Vive VR and it still works fine enough :P

  16. The Tim Hortons are leaving the twin cities. I only went once and didn't like the customer service, doing things their way. No, I don't know what a dang "double double" is or whatever.

      Yes. I lived in Toronto in 2004-2005 and despite a hortons on every other corner, I loved the coffee, ice caps and maple donuts. Ice caps sometimes gave me brain freeze, of course. I've bben planning to check out the ones in the Twin Cities, but maybe best I didn't.

    3. GoldLeader

      Bummer! I'd only heard good things in the past, but I'm a diehard Dunkin Donuts fan. They died out then came back to Colorado but not Wyoming, had people camping out when they first opened!

      Maybe it's like when Budweiser buys out a small brewery, then cheapens all the recipes, making high alcohol versions they then water down and quality suffers...

  17. "When I said hey, let's make a Sonic the Hedgehog movie w Jim Carrey as Dr Robotnik" I didn't actually mean it.

      I just watched the trailer. My goodness, this looks worse than I could have imagined. Perhaps it is being pitched at someone forty-five years younger than me.

    4. frankodragon

      frankodragon

      I think they should rename it to "Hideous the Hedgehog" instead. Sponsored by Atari.

  18. The Hyperkink X91 controller isn't bad at all. Nice & compact.

  19. Sometime I'm going to run out of TV shows to watch, and I'm gonna have to do that TI-99/4A podcast.

      It's 2019 and you can watch just about anything from the dawn of television with a press of the button. It's now impossible to run out of TV shows. (or music, or video games, or movies for that matter)

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      ^Wow! They really don't wanna hear your podcast!

  20. Watching "Bumblebee" and of course the Atari 2600 in the house is playing pong. At least they got the Transformers themselves right.

      The 2600 had Pong of course, but it was a different version.

  21. I feel like Picross could easily be ported to the TI-994A.

  22. That new flying motorcycle prototype is straight outta M.A.S.K.

    1. GoldLeader

      Tracker's gonna lead the mission...

      I've not seen it...The question on everybody's mind (I assume)...Is How we doin when compared to Galactica 1980 or Mega Force?

  23. Best episode of Japanology ever:

    1. NE146

      NE146

      Nice.. @18:25 is really the first good & clear footage i've ever seen of how I remember things to be... i.e. wall to wall SI cocktails. :) Thanks!

  24. I'm on the fence of Octav1us on YouTube. Good topics, but some videos are really over-produced.

  25. The torrent file I downloaded for games for the Amstrad is over TWENTY THOUSAND FILES. Even I think that's excessive.

      Does it work with files that are 98% identical, like dumps with differences in trivial unused bytes?
