Club forums? Where did these come from? Suddenly they are at the bottom of the main page for me, I never knew any of these existed.

Not well known, but the official active ingredient in Viagra is "Mycoxafloppin"

Fresh Thyme Market's 2% milk has an orange cap and label. Chaos, I say!

@Cebus Capucinis I've always thought it was light blue for 1%. And I just discovered this handy chart via Google images, which seems to confirm my expectations, for me it has always gone red, blue, light blue, and pink.

A friend of mine wants to donate some older games (Wii, PS2) to charity and make sure needy kids actually get them, any suggestions?
I mentioned how Goodwill cherry picks and just puts the good ones on their auction site.- Show previous comments 2 more

That's a dilemma I face as well, as I have some old board games I'd like to give away in the same way, but just HOW do you find actual kids that would love to have them? A couple of options I've considered but haven't tried, 1) talk to some local churches, they may have a good handle on some families that would appreciate such a gesture,2) local boys/girls club?
Do not give them away to Goodwill, or Salvation Army type of store, unless you don't care what happens to them.

Main PC crashed tonight. I was ticked, that never happens! Then I look at the uptime - 450 days. Guess that's not too bad for Windows...
That also tracks back to the day we had our breaker panel replaced so the power was off half the day!

High of 60 today. Then tomorrow through Thursday night, up to 10 inches of snow and a low of 5. Weather here is bipolar.

Just realized Kenny Rogers was a Nintendo fan vs. the other handhelds. From The Gambler: "If you're gonna play the Game Boy, you gotta learn to play it right."

Holy cow - I have always had 18+ allowed on Steam and am no prude, but this year's discovery queue has some outright hardcore porno games.
Game engines have probably just made it easier for these accomplishments for smaller developers.
Anyway, back to some demo videos...

@Rick Dangerous if you must know, the one that made me go "Holy crap!" for the fact it exists and is on Steam was "Operation Lovecraft: Fallen Doll"
Beware to anyone easily offended! This ain't no Custer's Revenge!

Finally got through my post-30+ year playthrough of Zelda 2. Only 2 games/1 retry. (Don't ask how many savestates...)
Now deciding what's next. Metroid, SM2/3? Do I dare even try Ninja Gaiden, which I never managed to beat the final boss back then because the 2nd to last was so awful?

Dear Micro Center, can you stop emailing me about writing a product review? I only bought a friggen SD card.

I have my cell phone number set to 867-5309 in the company directory for obvious reasons. Someone just sent me a message saying "I tried to call you at 8675309 but didn't get and answer." OMFG.

I don't remember Zelda 2 being such a M$%^$%#@^&ing B*%^h back in the day. I remember it being fun.
My new playthough is becoming painful. Thank the modern nerds for savestates!

Select Cancel the first life/magic and go for the attack upgrade. Those Bubble skulls are killable(Lots a stabbing) and worth 50 exp points. Find exp bags. Every 6th enemy you kill will drop a potion/exp bag. Once find a 1up on the overworld, don't collect and remember the location. You'll need it for the Great Palace. Remember where red potion in palace are, they respawn upon leaving/entering palace. One town folks don't know which way is east or west telling you where Payapa Palace is. I am not Error.

FedEx woes continue. Now they have my Tron Arcade1Up. Says to be delivered today. However this morning it left St. Paul, MN, which is two states away. What?
-
FedEx delivered my wife's Christmas present to the wrong place. Tracking says "Left at leasing office". We live in a house.

Just finished Legend of Zelda (1st quest) for the first time in 30+ years - buying the new Game and Watch gave me the urge to play it on an emulator all the way through. How nostalgic!
And of course I used all the online maps I could - I am not going to brute force all the secrets me and my friends forgot all those years ago!

AWESOME!!!
Been about ten years for me.
Me and my then 4 y/o Grandson got mebbe a good 1/3 of the way thru, a couple of years ago.
I had confidence that my(original)battery wouldn't fail, short test runs had worked out fine.
That was a disappointing day, for sure...
Even worse-I have an Everdrive, just wanted to do it on the real thing...
I've changed/evolved my tastes recently, but SNES Zelda was my "favorite game ever" for a couple decades.

It's neat, super small, but playable. Feels a bit light, they could have added some heavier materials to make it seem less cheaply made.
Also for the price I would think they could have at least included some maps and instructions. The only included instructions is how to plug it into the charger, and then 4 pages of legalese in multiple languages. Nothing on how to use it at all.

Spotted the new Zelda Game and Watch at Walmart today, so I picked one up. My Amazon pre-order didn't even have a ship date yet, so that's kinda weird. Guess I will have an extra one soon.
Neat little gadget! (Didn't get the SMB one, so this is my first.)

Upgrading to a new phone tonight. I know I'm going to hate it simply due to old man syndrome. Had the current one for 5 years, which is definitely a record.

What kinda phone you going to? I usually keep a phone 2-3 years max. $200-$300 Android phones usually are only given security updates for a couple years and only get maybe 1 OS upgrade if you're lucky.
I did have a Moto E ($120) for a year then upgraded to a Moto G ($200) and had it 2 years. Then I bought a refurb Google Pixel 2 that I thought I'd be able to use a couple years, but it was a lemon and had to return it. Then I went back to a Moto G for a year or so before getting this Nokia 4.2 2 years ago. It's on Android 10 and sadly last Security patch it got was 8 months ago.
-
I went from a Galaxy S7 to a Galaxy S20 FE.
I don't really worry about security update availability, because I don't install many apps, and don't go browsing unknown sites.
And yeah, I was heavily annoyed last night while in old man mode just due to all the notifications that started streaming in for all the apps I hadn't yet uninstalled or disabled. And of course all the needless UX changes that aren't needed. <shakes fist at cloud>

At the art dealer I learned that people into Baroque were out of Monet.

Anyone here an expert on IIS SSL bindings? Google has been useless for my issue.

I asked a friend from England how his July 4th was today. It was all in good fun of course.

Garfield sucks. Heathcliff is way better. See video.

@thanatos I like Heathcliff a lot. In fact, one of my favorite books of all time was a Christmas edition regarding him that I still treasure for years called, "Heathcliff's Night Before Christmas".
