Tell me anything

yeah I think thatā€™s part of the problem because thereā€™s too much perusing. People selfishly blocking already narrow aisles with not only themselves but shopping carts they donā€™t need (has anyone ever filled a shopping cart at TJā€™s?) looking over all the treats taking their sweet time.

i lost a very dear friend today. you canā€™t know how much time you really have with somebody until itā€™s up. just wanted to say Iā€™m grateful to all of you here for making me feel so welcome in such a short amount of time. Iā€™ve never been great with people, this summer has been hard, and the atmosphere here has really helped me feel less adrift in an increasingly confusing world. yā€™all are cool as heck. thank you

Ok so nowadays Iā€™m playing game boy and people sooner recognize it as an aftermarket device. Itā€™s happened a lot this summer where Iā€™ve been playing a lot in public.

  • pointing at my gameboy thatā€™s an Emulator
  • ā€œHow many games ya got on that thing?ā€ Pointing at my Pocket Pikachu. He was confused when I said ā€œoneā€. I would hardly even call it a game.

Iā€™ve lived near a table bridge for almost a year now and Iā€™ve never gotten to see the mechanism in action. This morning as I was coming back from a run, the bridge was closed off to traffic temporarily, and someone waiting there for it to open with his dog told me it had just lifted, so Iā€™d missed it by maybe seconds. I said ā€œshoot!!ā€

I donā€™t know why Chris uses AFAB the way he does in this bit? I can see the hidden snacks at Farm Boy.

You gotta check out that DS; itā€™s got so many good ones. That Gundam DS looks pretty sweet also. Never saw that before.

My question was answered on Jeff Gerstmannā€™s podcast this week.

Oh yes. Ended up looking through the DS Appreciation thread for recs and decided to go with the DSi. Ordered a refurbished, re-shelled (with clear glacier) one that should be arriving in the next day or two!

Very excited, as itā€™s one of the few libraries left I get to try out for the very first time.

Iā€™ve recently been bouncing around the DS library myself. Thereā€™s some phenomenal hidden gems, but also some truly outstanding not-hidden gems as well!! Everyone was right about Picross 3D and Ghost Trick, for example. Possibly the best-ever in their respective genres. Lots to love in that little clamshell

I think itā€™s really cool that people are intentionally making 240p videos now

this sounds cool to me. What kind of videos?

I had my first experience with a Book-off carrying nothing older than PS4 games except for some DS and 3DS games, two shelves worth. No sfc at all even.

I feel like Iā€™ve seen the future (T2 skeleton on chainlink) and am reinvigorated to continue to scan the shelves that I can, while it is still even possible. Gonna start bracing myself when I browse bookoffs though. Hardoff I still trust.
