  1. They say a fool and his money are soon parted.

     

    So how did the fool even get the money?

      Plenty of fools have jobs. Trust me, I've worked with tons of em. They are always talking about new and exciting ways to light their next paycheck on fire.

  2. The bass in other peoples' audio devices is vanishing. Is it an equipment thing? Or is it a change in music preference with the decades?

      My very unscientific research shows that since dubstep swamped the scene years ago with swamp-assed raves, many producers out there have turned up the resonance knobs on their synthesizers. This can cut some of the low range out to favor a more shrill and drill kind of bass. It gives a wonky, trippy sound to music, but sterilizes that funky, bouncing bass found in more classic dance music.

  3. Never thought this day would come. Thinking of parting with my rare Colecovision CIB collection. Might be time to let others appreciate these items.

      My other hobbies involve some investment as well, so some extra money would help me enjoy those things (synthesizers and pinball). The pandemic killed my income, so I might shift some stuff around to things I can enjoy like recording music and playing my pinball machines, without having to dip into savings.

      One led to the other, so maybe a bit of both. I don't have the tools or experience to replace the controller chip in my rgb modded colecovision, so I haven't been able to play in a while. Kinda bums me out. I also have almost all the original releases CIB except a couple in the top ten.. realized I'm not sure if I want to chase them down, so maybe I can help someone else complete their collection.

  5. About to go play in my first pinball tournament.. I only found out about it yesterday. I wish I was more prepared.

      Just got home. It was a lot of fun. I got 7th place. I'll probably go next month.

  6. How does turn based gaming work? Do you just take caution into the wind and hope your character kills the enemy?

    1. WispFollower

      WispFollower

      It's similar to life in general- you wait for your turn, roll the dice, then live or die.

  7. Pat the NES Punk seems like an angry talk radio show host...over video games?

      Sometimes he talks about people doing stupid things or controversial subjects, so he gets a bit fired up. I enjoy his commentary, as he is blunt and honest while some choose to ignore or dance around certain subjects to avoid backlash.

      It's understandable if you don't feel like sharing why, so I'll just say, I hope you feel better soon.

  9. Working on doing graphic art for my friend's upcoming new Pokemon Go related website. I actually got paid $1,000 to design a logo!!! Most I've ever gotten paid to do just one drawing. Money will be used mostly to fund the printing of the 1st ish of my new comicbook which will make it's debut at SF Comic Con. Playing Simpsons arcade during breaks..

  10. Bought a "New" game from gamestop. Problem is, the disc is scratched.

    1. WispFollower

      WispFollower

      Unfortunately, gamestop is now well known for selling used games as new. I guess it's buyer beware with them.

  11. I think the best thing about older consoles, anything PS2 / GameCube / Xbox and back really, is that they never try to sell you sh*t. Every time you turn on a newer console the first thing it wants to do is connect to the internet then try to convince you to buy something.

      Sounds like someone has an impulse control issue..

       

      Just kidding, of course. I'm terrified of the day where we will see something similar to the episode of Futurama where they have commercials in their dreams.

      I have only played the CV version, and I really enjoy it. I always hear it is inferior, though.

      Grab him by the shoulders and get his front half in there. He will eventually try to turn around, and walk his back legs in.
