Cleaning out the fridge with this one, quite tasty though

I absolutely love seeing things like this . Could you imagine if things like that could talk , man the stories you’d hear. 

Yeah I often think about that too.

If I go out hunting for games, I love seeing all the other old junk people gave lying around, from days gone by

Hi Alex, do we know each other or not?

Also, if you decide to sell some cartridges, I might be interested

Perhaps he meant “console games collection”? Hard to imagine people buying multiples of each type of consoles unless they own a shop. More than likely he’s right up there with the title of “owner of the biggest gaming collection”.

 

That would make much more sense than what he wrote.

That penne looks quite nice!

And whipped this up for lunch today, sort of a continuation from last night's meal.

Heading to Chili's tonight for dinner with a group of guys from my church, so I won't be cooking anything else until Monday's dinner. 

Well his tweet says he has the largest game console collection. That's the part I'm curious about.

@themisfit138: that looks really delicious, not sure I'd want to be raising my own animals to source the meat though.

Tonight's meal is in, a homemade lo bo gao (radish cake), air-fryed broccoli with Parmesan cheese, and some noodles.

I know several of us enjoy cooking, well from pics posted in the discord chat.

Let's share what we've been cooking and eating here.

I've started taking a huge liking towards homebrew and indie games, I think Battle Kid was the one that did it for me. Since then I've played a handful of other homebrew games, some which I quite liked, others which weren't my cup of tea.

I've got too many games as a whole, so if something isn't doing it for me, I'll move on to something else. It's not that the game is necessarily bad, it just might not be to my personal style.

If I think the game is quite enjoyable, then yes, I'll generally try to complete it.

Just gonna hazard a guess that another bidder might be Notch (creator of Minecraft)

Will be funny though if this goes to like Jeff Bezos or Steve Ballmer

ONE OF US. ONE OF US. Love it. 

Lol, how does he know he has the largest game console collection though? 

Well the price wasn't exactly a steal, especially for local standards, but it was more than fair. I do agree though that the quality of these really does shine, it's definitely one of the better parts of my collection and honestly something I couldn't pass up.

One of my best finds though? Nah, the Sega protos were the best by far, I still feel tingly just thinking about it.

Does anyone here collect Gamate games? Anyone have any for sale or trade? If so, I'd likely be interested.

I've always been interested in the Gamate, an obscure handheld gaming machine that made its way around the world in the 90s. I had gathered a small collection of games locally, whatever I stumbled upon, but the games are quite hard to find in my area, and as a result, I only found about seven or eight of the 60 or 70 games released. This made the Gamate something I wanted to collect, but also something that was more passive for me.

Whilst on holiday in Florida a few weeks back, I received a message from a local guy that @OptOut and I personally know. He messaged me saying he found 35 Gamate games, all CIB, and asked if I wanted them. Of course I did!

After opening with a terrible price of $1000 USD, I managed to get him to drastically cut that price, and last night I was finally able to drive over to pick these up from the guy.

I'm stoked about the quality and condition of these, and am really excited to add more to the collection. I hope I can get this set mostly complete by the end of the year

Or, you know, just don't eat the part of the chicken that stomps in shit all day and cannot possibly be adequately cleaned...

 

Hahaha, it's funny seeing you write that sentence

Yeah, tried that once.

Definitely not something I would ever try again.

It's good to use the chicken feet in soup. Everything will boil down , and the collagen is good for inflammation.

Canned bread?!? Wow, never heard of it before!

I've had shrimp crackers many a times here.

Have it your way man. I asked a serious question but no worries about trying to legitimately answer it. No one says you have to. I was just curious.

I certainly will. I'll be voting against hate.

Voting against hate? Come on bro, never once did you guys give Trump a chance, spewing all sorts of hate towards him since he became president. I guess that somehow doesn't count though?

You told me earlier I should look at the big picture and not just think of myself and my own benefits, or those of one nation. Let's just take a brief look at the situation.

Trump has brought much closer ties between Taiwan, a democracy, and the USA. Likewise his stance with mainland China has hurt it.

So what? Just look at Hong Kong. Better yet, look at Xingjiang. I personally cannot stand behind such actions, and much prefer to support the free country of Taiwan, over a power such as China that abuses its people via reeducation camps, organ harvesting, censorship, lack of freedom, etc. Stop looking at trendy "problems", and expand your view to look at real issues.

You are cherry picking one instance and one example. That's nice but you have to look at the picture as a whole. And Trump is not helping every other American as a whole. And he's greatly hurting people from other nations as well. How is it noble to "help" one nation but hurt another? That's not a good leader. 

You wanted me to ask myself my own questions. I'm not sure the point you are trying to make so I'll do it.

I greatly care about other people. I have compassion for others. I try to put my own best interests aside and think holistically about society in my daily life and when choosing my ideals, and especially when it comes time to vote. So, there's my answers. I'm still not sure what you were getting at. 

Hahaha, need to look at the overall picture bro. For the record, I greatly care about other people. I have compassion for others. I try to put my own best interests aside and think holistically about society in my daily life and when choosing my ideals, and especially when it comes time to vote.

I hope you can do so as well, and look at the big picture when you vote.

@BriGuy82 @drxandy : I'd gladly try all of those , by now I'm brave. It's funny, because I used to be a picky eater as a child and teenager.

I understand your take here. His actions and policies have personally benefited you. It makes sense to enjoy that. 

Other people have not benefited from his actions and policies. As a matter of fact other people on the planet have been greatly hurt by them. 

So my question is, how do you weigh it? Do you not care about those other people? Or do you care, but not as much as you care about yourself and your own best interests?

I'm not trying to be snarky. It just seems like a really selfish take on things and I'm honestly interested in your opinion on it.

You ask many questions, but I think you should self-reflect and ask yourself these very same questions, and then post your answers.

Take a look at the coronavirus going on right now. Taiwan is excluded from WHO, how does that affect the Taiwanese people? Already, Taiwanese cannot fly to Italy or Philippines due to this. Some Taiwanese were bullied in Russia because of the virus. Yet for all intents and purposes, Taiwan is not the same as mainland China, and while China has hundreds or thousands of virus cases and deaths, Taiwan has had maybe 17 cases thus far.

What does this have to do with Trump? Simple. His stances on Taiwan have been helping the island nation as a whole, not just me personally. The situation with China is a large one, and although its not at your doorstep yet, it could easily spiral out of control in a negative way. Trust me, Trump's stance on this I'd also helping you and every other American, whether you know it or not 

I remember back when the trade war with China first started happening, this real dinky town about twenty minutes from @OptOut started receiving tons of orders for socks , hahaha.

Chicken testicles, chicken feet, duck blood, duck heads, pig blood, stinky tofu, snake soup, snake bile mixed with alcohol, fish eyeball, pig gums, bone marrow (forget which animal the bones were from), fried crickets, mouse meat. This is just a quick summary of some of the delicious foods I've tried locally.

Wow, there's actually a pro-Trump person here?  I'm impressed. 

I live in Taiwan. Trump has definitely helped Taiwan and it's relationship with the USA more than any other USA president has, since 1979 or whatever the date was.

Yeah, Trump isn't presidential in the way he acts. Yeah, he's an ass. Sure, he's corrupt. But what about the rest of the lot? They're just as corrupt, and also a bunch of wankers too. At least Trump is doing things.

blah blah screaming “Raise Taxes Bad!!”

 

We can guarantee higher education as a right for all and cancel all student debt for an estimated $2.2 trillion. To pay for this, we will impose a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street speculators who nearly destroyed the economy a decade ago. This Wall Street speculation tax will raise $2.4 trillion over the next ten years. It works by placing a 0.5 percent tax on stock trades – 50 cents on every $100 of stock – a 0.1 percent fee on bond trades, and a 0.005 percent fee on derivative trades.

If Wall Street can be bailed out for several trillion dollars, 45 million Americans can and will be bailed out of the $1.6 trillion burden of student loan debt and we can provide free college for all. Some 40 countries throughout the world have imposed a similar tax, including Britain, South Korea, Hong Kong, Brazil, Germany, France, Switzerland and China.

No thanks. There's plenty of people out there who wanted to go to a better university, or for more schooling, who didn't due to not being able to afford it. Those who were in that position and went ahead with it anyways should have made a wiser decision at the time. If we start forgiving student debt, we are just slapping those in the face who made sacrifices and wiser choices, and rewarding those who didn't.
