Jurassic Park on SMS.

Yo yo yo.

You're not wrong.

Oooooohmuhgooooooood we geeeeeeeet iiiiiiiit.

Ah shit I clicked it.

Is that why this is what's being advertised to me on Amazon lately?

The point of the screenshot is, and you may have forgotten this, but on your first playthrough Leshi just up and decides you're doing too well and pulls a full table of Grizzly Bears with boosts that make it near impossible to pass.

*ahem*

Currently playing Guardian Force on Sega Saturn. Trying to get a 1CC on it, need to learn/memorize the game first.

Acromage? Cuz FYI: ArcoMage HD

Just watched; I need to see about some of that filler stuff. Seems like it'd be handy for the toolbox since there's definitely pitting going on, assuming I've got the terminology right there.

I drew people like this as a kid, cuz stick people were so blasé:

Easily one of the best games I've played in recent years, and I stay pretty up to date for the most part. It's an absolute masterpiece.

I'm not opposed to doing what needs done, assuming the skill and tools required aren't insane. Do you have any tips on what such body work looks like, or where I might start looking into it?

Finished up for the day, here's the removable shelf cleaned of grime and such, before and after:

This is exactly why I posted this, very handy! Thanks, I'll do this 100%! I'm on the "clean it up" phase right now, doing a drawer or two today. Will order this or something similar so it shows up before next weekend. Any good brands you'd suggest for primer and paint? I was looking at Rustoleum.

The plan is to scrub the shit out of it and then do exactly that. No sand blaster sadly but I can put in elbow grease.

First thing first, those grimy and squeaky metal slider things. I cleaned em up nice. Not sure next step here, whether I need to grease em back up, or if WD40 is the move. Again, I know Jack diddly, so it's a matter of research and/or you all tossing me advice! Before and after shots:

So I'm not the handiest fellow around, but I do like to try. I like using my hands, getting a bit dirty, fixing stuff up, stuff like that. I'm trying my best especially with the new house to take on a more frugal, reuse mindset. My neighbors ended up upgrading their own toolboxes and asked if I wanted their old ones. Naturally, free stuff is free so I said yes. They ended up giving me a quite tall toolbox on wheels, and a more regular sized, if a bit big, toolbox. The regular size one is the one I'll be talking about here today. The toolbox is Beach brand which I understand to be quite sturdy, and it does seem to fit that bill so far. That said, it's old and well used, showing signs of wear and some rusting. My intent is to do my best to bring it back to as close to "good as new" as I can, turning the free thing into probably an expensive thing lol. But it'll give me something to do with my hands. And that's where I turn to you all. I plan to document the process here, and I'm hoping some of the handier folks (I know you exist!) might give some tips, suggestions, product recos, etc.. Here's how she looks to start:

Yeah I'm not a fan of the waits with Kickstarter and similar, especially when one impacts the other (I backed something on Indiegogo expecting to get it in March this year, but apparently there was also a Kickstarter and those backers are first in line...). Hopefully someone sees this and responds, but I'd go double on your comms and send the company another message on Kickstarter and/or twitter/whatever to be like "hey I made this thread, any news on famicom version being sent out?".

Have you contacted them through Kickstarter itself? Frankengraphics hasn't visited VGS in over a year now, so the ping is probably floating in the aether.

This guy is in the game: IYKYK.

I didn't want to steer the discussion so I let others do the talking for a bit, and now I feel like it's been enough time to put this out there - IMO vote how you FEEL about the thing, as YOU experienced it. Seems people are doing that. I don't know The Simpsons of today, it's something else entirely in my mind. When I say The Simpsons, like many others here I'm envisioning the first let's say 10 seasons. Which let's be real, is a hell of a run for anything. It was an absolute phenomenon, and it'll stick with me for my whole life as something cherished which I could easily revisit any time (thanks, dvd collection!). Love it.

Too slow, muh man!
