I'm make sure to periodically shake my head when watching John Q. to let people know I don't approve of Denzel's character's actions in the film.
I began to explain I mostly collect for Playstation and Sega consoles, as those were the systems I had the most interest in.
I don't remember the exact response, but the tone of his voice suggested he was unimpressed with my choice of the first two Ratchet & Clank games. "The real money was in Atlus games. Have you heard of Persona?" Despite answering "yes", he proceeded to give a surface level explanation of it to me as if I said nothing at all.
As the man continued to yap at me, my guard started to lower and the realization of what I was dealing with struck me to core. What stood before me was a Type of Guy(tm) that those of us who collect and play retro games have heard stories of but have never personally seen. Like a serial killer that was never caught and walks amoung us.
. . .
When I see Nintendo Quest, I see that same Kind of Guy: the vapid collector with too much time and money on his hands, scooping up games not for play but to keep in their suburban dungeons for years until they're ripe enough again to resell. I see a bunch of nerds who want respect but deserve nothing but contempt.
If the Japanese game got retranslated or a different script there's a chance of that happening, but they're not going to do anything special for the English release and include 2 scripts with it, I don't think. Fan mod could happen I guess.
He has small hands.
Also, are people still doing the "says a lot about you/your internet browsing habits" in response to the fucking awful shit being forced on us via ads, recommendations, etc. on the internet?
'cause that was never true and it seemingly even less than true now.
If "the algorithm" knew me at all it'd be showing me CRTs, women in anime plugsuit outfits, and 45 minute gameplay-centric analyses on games and PAX talks titled "episodes where the Pokemon animé got weird". Instead all I'm getting is "communism is evil" YouTube videos and AliExpress ads for LED lights and women's yoga pants.
Soldered in a battery holder and installed a new battery for my Dreamcast for the system clock. That went well and it's still holding a charge and the clock's working still hours later. Then I did the same for 6 Pokemon games: G/S/C, Green, R/E (no sapphire sadly). The Pokemon ones were trickier. GBA carts have less room for clearance and also I couldn't solder the battery holder feet to the pads as easily for some reason. But now I'm done so I should be good for Pokemoning in the near-future, yay.
It's the music equivalent of Reddit liberals using Harry Potter as a political cipher.
Oh yeah, he he was married previously to Omar Khadr's sister who is a guy that the Canadian military tried to pin charges on for blowing up a military medic or some shit with no proof and the Khadrs' dad is some diplomat or something. Very spooked up situation.
Just received a DM from a now-deleted account u/DeepPost saying "follow the Mario".
Rushing to put away the disposable gloves, hammer, and heavily-scented candles I had out so the internet repair guy doesn't think I'm a serial killer. Very unfortunate sequences of events just happened. Also, I didn't hear him pull in and people come to the side-door rather than the front door here for some reason, so I greeted him from inside the dark house from a slightly-open window like a freak.
