I for one am not willing to feed a milk-bone addiction, no matter how good a boy he is.

Wendy’s puts your order in a cake now?

These gimmicks are getting to be a bit much.

I did lots of stuff with them back in the day besides games! Rendered some space ship flybys in Imagine, made custom icons for everything on my workbench, ripped sounds and quotes from my favorite movies, even ran my own BBS for a couple years.

But whenever I turn it on these days it’s just playing a few games and listen to some MODs. It’s just a nostalgia machine now. 😁

Yes I still have it. Repair of the motherboard was attempted but failed. Then I sent pics to the premier repair guy overseas. He said it was too damaged to repair, unfortunately.

I'll probably part it out at some point but I haven't had the will to fully dismantle it yet.

Still have the first computer I bought with my own money, and it still works. It's an Amiga 500 from 1991. I fire it up and play ancient games with it once in a while, on the ancient 1084s CRT monitor.

Also had one of the super rare A3000T's but unfortunately the battery corroded the motherboard while I had it stored away. I didn't even learn about that problem until researching what had gone wrong with my beautiful Amiga tower. C'est la vie. At least I was able to get an image of the 120MB SCSI hard drive, which I can boot up in an emulator and relive the glory days of 1993.

I still use my Zune HD for tunes in the helmet whenever I go skiing. 15 years old and still rockin'.

That’s nvts.

I’m struggling to understand why you felt the need to post this hot take in a retro gaming help thread.

Eventually, if you’re lucky, you’ll get a good one that teaches you some tools to help yourself.

I’ve had several and have seen everything from ‘amazingly helpful’ to ‘collecting a fee, didn’t even listen’.

Finding a good one is 80% of the battle. Sadly I haven’t discovered any shortcuts there.

Only a recommendation against. I bought a KitchenAid KODE500ESS double wall oven and apparently it comes free with a whole pile of regret.

The upper oven glass exploded while cooking baked potatoes the first week I had it. Shit happens but the hoops I had to jump through to get a new oven were just ridiculous. But I did eventually get one.

The glass on the bottom oven exploded right before I sold the property less than a year later. It had never been cooked in. I opened the door to check it and closed the door (normally) at which point it detonated itself.

I had to threaten KitchenAid with CFPB and my state attorney general to fix the second one under warranty. They wanted $900 before they caved because “oven glass is not a functional item and not covered under warranty”.

Just don’t buy from them. They are out to screw their customers.

Doom 2 totally ripped off Doom. Barely any changes.

Not sure why Doom devs didn’t sue.

Acting on your principles isn’t always easy.

Fine, you’re only half crazy.

Intelligent people tend to lean left. We’re not really interested in becoming ‘average’. Go to Facebook if that’s what you’re looking for.

I don’t know for sure but I assume it’s similar to ballistic analysis; you can get a good idea of the origin point based on all the detected interactions the ‘projectile’ had with surrounding matter.

This is the way.

If I could upvote this 50 times...

Look, there are some things I can overlook in a relationship.

But eating a bag of lays with half a bottle of heinz ketchup poured on it? WITH A SPOON? 🤮

ITT: Turns out a lot of fitness advisers didn't have dads.

That and she couldn't keep her mouth off another guy's dick.
