I’m a 911 operator I think I would enjoy that. Even if it’s not cool. Sounds like good, honest work, and I like a job where you walk the floor, something that I’m currently missing. I have enjoyed jobs refurbishing computers, un /loading trucks, and picking warehouse orders. Standing and /or moving all day can be good for you, if your employer is not an asshole *cough cough Amazon* balance and appropriate rest and conditions are needed.

wow. I’ve blacked out on alcohol before, didn’t know it could happen on energy drinks. Very interesting how the human body and mind handles and reacts to different things for different people.

BTW. Thanks for this little tidbit. Very interesting; I never would have thought that was how they did those.

I’ve never seen these before. Pretty cool. edit: LOOKS COOL

haha, we are all new here! Good to see ya.

Rum! Tell me more

I have never gone to the gym. Exercising for its own sake is a big turnoff to me. But I stay active other ways. As for food. I don’t like soda, so that’s an easy one for me. I avoid fast food; only get it a few times a year. I check ingredients and avoid versions that contain sugar. It’s in a lot of places you wouldn’t expect, and really unnecessary. I also limit how much meat I eat, and have been considering portion sizes in general— Now it’s one egg, or one sandwich, or one egg sandwich at a time, instead of two. All that did me ok, but this year I wasn’t really liking how I looked. I decided to start weighing myself regularly, and found I was gaining weight. So I made these changes. #1 substitutions in stuff I ate often: Egg whites instead of eggs. Whole grains instead of pasta. Barley and oat groats are my favorite so far. #2 cut out stupid snacking. It’s ok to eat for fun when you’re not actually hungry... once in a while. Not every day. Lost 30+ pounds and looking better.

Hmm... Lots. I suck at video games. But there’s a few mentioned here that I have down, so I don’t feel too bad. Favorite: maybe Rolling Thunder. Most recently: Crystalis and Guardian Legend. Something not on NES: BloodRayne.

I do. But there was no reason to say or think anything about it unless one’s opinion was, or could be taken as, not overwhelmingly positive. Which would then get shouted down because “the founders are good guys /from our community”

I don’t know. This has never been even close to a problem. I am also asking how the hell. Something wrong with you guys

Way to go! So cool that you were able to make it happen.

dude. Way too much thought into this. I know that’s like, your thing. But just lean forward and reach back. That’s already more anatomically explicit than I care to get in this venue, but I’ll just say the fulcrum principal should take care of your objection here.

Sounds like a bookmark function to me.

I also see the seconds counting on NA, logged in to the non-vintage site. On the front page. Is it possible to load it with the page, and have it continue counting from the load point, without JS? Pegged to local machine time? Maybe hard to keep accuracy....

Awesome, I love those. My dad mail-ordered a box set of 8 or PD (or banned) tapes out of some catalog when I was a kid. They had three cartoons each, and every one is permanently imprinted on my brain. They were SLP, so each cassette probably contained about ten feet of tape, lol.

Something one note. LoZ treasure chest or Megaman death are too long. Keep in mind this is something you might hear over and over again when there’s a couple of hot threads going on. I agree something like a Mario coin, Zelda rupee, or Metroid (or Megaman) gunshot. But in keeping with the all-original nature of the site name, mascot, etc., it would be best to have something original and not remotely copyright infringing. I’m not a chiptune composer like some people here, but I might be able to come up w/ something when I’m home.

I do, ’cause when you shave your legs … the shaving cream is like soap, right? I kind of always shave my legs.

That’s a pretty impressive sprite for 2600. Put the link with no extra stuff. like this but without spaces https :// youtu . be / w0I5E3XKN7A The forum will automagically embed the video.

Lots of Ensiferum. Black metal from Finland. Folk-y, ancient warrior type stuff. It makes me really happy and joyful.

Any sci-fi series you'd recommend? I'm really into apocalyptic/dystopian sci-fi. The longer the series the better IMO. Also wow...you have a LOT of CRTs...any reason why? I’m not much into series, myself. I like to read a complete story and move on, rather than a story that goes on forever. Kind of the opposite of you, lol. This is why I stopped reading mainstream superhero comics. Have you heard of Philip K. Dick? I would recommend if you like that kind of world-building. He was prolific, wrote a lot of books and has a distinctive style. I got into collecting old TVs some time ago... one of those things you get into accidentally at first. Now, I keep them in rows on a big shelf. Jacked to the same signal. Good for parties. Watching music videos.

Oh, look... a double post. Here we are.

I don’t know

Nope. Didn’t see anything like that and felt .../discover/unread was closest to what you asked. Have a look at .../discover (without /unread) which shows more kinds of activity. Still not exactly what you posted about, though. @Gloves what is the difference between articles and blogs? I would think blogs would be a series of articles, but there are posts in blogs, and nothing yet in articles, so that must not be how it’s supposed to work. I’m glad that you want to get more focus on that kind of more formal, long-form content. I checked the front page of NA rarely and sporadically, because that matched the publishing schedule. Looking forward to what people come up with, and I will consider trying my hand at some writing.
