Only recently started watching the Sneaky Pete series on Amazon.

Cool name dropping in Season 1 Episode 7 with regard to the Sega Saturn.

And then, you know what she did?
What?
She showed up with a brand new Sega Saturn. You know what that is?
No, what's that?
It's only the best goddamn video game console ever created! And she played with me for hours.

Sneaky Pete is clever, funny and terrifically cast.

I'll check out that Fortitude series. Cheers. :)

I don’t even know where to find Amiibos anymore, with Toys R Us gone. None of my Targets carry them anymore

Wal*Mart, probably. But don't buy that crap. If you want plastic video game figures, go all in and buy Figma stuff, and get your RFID tags from China.

Yup just when I thought I was out they pull me back in.

I just need to desolder the two legs underneath and stick a new one in

I found some close hits by looking up IEC320 C8 AC Power Socket Connector. Give it a whirl, and see if anything matches what you need.

Anything at all would help him, but of course he's full of excuses, always a chicken and the egg sort of thing.
"I can't get a job because I need this or that and I can't get this or that because I don't have a job." He wants to do what I do, sell on Ebay and Etsy. Predictably he never gets off his ass to try. Instead he bugs me to sell his stuff like I'm some sort of money making genie. Every Wednesday he calls begging for a ride to the local food bank at which point I realize I'm just enabling him. He pays no rent and has few bills. Combine that with no motivation I don't think he is every going to get out of that place. It's depressing telling a friend I've watched sink slow to go away because they've become a parasite but at this point I'm gonna have to shoot Old Yeller.

Many of these individuals use manipulation and excuse to get what they want because it has worked so far. I'm an equal opportunity dick. If I have to work and have responsibility, you don't get a free pass. Use all the guilt and emotions you want but that mind power is useless with me. There is a fine line between helping and enabling.

Is it just me, or has the Genesis Does! subforum become a technofile fest? I miss the days when such talk would be reserved for Tech Aid and Blast Processing.

Been given an Asus laptop - good specs, appears to be working, etc. Except for one thing - the harddrive is failing. It's semi-new as well. Tried taking it apart, and the thing is nasty cheap. There is no back panel to pull the drive out - you have to literally de-assemble the whole laptop, and pull it out. It's also made of wobbly, cheap plastic. Not gonna bother, lol.

I think I'll get a drive, hook it up to USB and turn this a crude, makeshift desktop PC. Do all my office work on it, etc.

That and Insert Coin have been like that for ages.

Doom Eternal now coming to all 4 platforms. 3 consoles and PC. Game looks insane with the new gameplay trailers.
