      And you forgot to call it the NINTENDO Game Boy Advance, oh boy I'm so mad now!!!!

      Yeah, yeah. I know I was probably being overly critical, it's just my biggest retro gaming pet peeve when people call the Game Boy a "gameboy". =P

  4. So yesterday we were at sam club, and I was standing outside a walk-in freezer, waiting for my mom to pick up fruit (I was in shorts, there's no way I'm going in there). I was bored and started doing the floss dance. Afterwards I look behind me to see an employee who looked around 50-60 trying (but failing) to do the same, then switching to some other dances before getting back to stocking shelves. I kinda got a small chuckle out of it. It kinda made my day. :)

      Everytime someone mentions flossing, apart from dental care I am thinking about Flossy and the Farmer (NSFW, look it up at your own discretion).

      All dances today are stupid. Dancing stopped being cool a few months after I got old. Same with music, movies and video games.

      Wow, an entire multi-forum platform on retro-gaming and that topic has never been mentioned before! I'm shocked. SHOCKED!

      Do you have any Alexa, Siri, Cortana etc active that could pick up your conversation, or would just about any app be eavesdropping?

      I like it. Lessee, It's a dog in a hoodie with a cup of coffee right? I mean if ya want it to be better, He needs a flannel, probably plaid, cuz it's not That cold out...And I'm pretty sure he needs some Coffee Mate and Splenda in his cup, but maybe that's just nitpicking ;)

    3. Trip2018

      Minor corrections: He's a dingo, it's tea, coffee shops tend to be cold.

       

      I do like that interpretation tho :)

      The SpeakJet chip is copyrighted. Someone would have to pretty painstakingly reverse-engineer it to emulate it.

      I killed a snake with a lawnmower (accidentally) this Summer, so I left his headless, and still moving body out for the hawks (Or maybe a hungry cat)...My plan seemed to work since next week it was gone :)

      Is there a document somewhere that describes using INPT0-INPT5 as outputs? I've used SWACNT to set SWCHA as output, but I couldn't find a way to set INPT0-5 as output. Thanks!

      Pretty sure I've seen a wedge shaped foam pillow that would be easy to turn into a 2600jr.

  17. I hacked princess rescue and replaced mario with luigi.

      If you eat healthy and scale your caloric intake to an appropriate level, great. FWIW, at 45 I find I have to do way more work just to keep my body from falling apart, let alone "keep it tight." I am in the best shape of my life, but it's a lot of work.

    3. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      You're still a kid, Trip. You don't have enough experience with weight gain/loss, just the benefit of youth.

       

      You'll totally understand when you're older.

       

      Don't waste your youth in front of a screen, you can do that later.

      @BydoEmprie, that's what I meant. I am still in very good shape, but it doesn't come "for free" anymore like it used it, and like it does for a young'un like Trip2018.

  22. My sisters logic: Always gets chicken tenders. Refuses chicken restaurant for no reason other than she's not in the mood.

      Chicken tenders... I was thinking about the kind of "chicken fillets" some women use to stuff their bras but perhaps your sister doesn't do that.
