I have a retro setup similar to Tusen Takk's but I think I'm about 5 years older and british so it has more old computers, less consoles... I'm currently trying to set up Raspple II on a PI so that I can stick it into my apple ][ and play all my games from disk images on SD card and load them over the network rather than fighting with all the old 5 1/4 floppies which are now 30+ years old. I can then play this superior version of Mario until my keyboard breaks.  .I'm also trying to talk myself out of buying one of these for my ZX Spectrum, and trying to fight the urge to buy myself a replacement Amiga from ebay since I seem to have lost my decent one.

I haven't used it in a few years, but I just softmodded my xbox 1 and threw a bunch of emulators on there. Entire libraries of games without getting up and save states anytime.

I'm done playing competitive games for a while outside of an occasional round of CS:GO (or goonmans) and Rocket League, so I picked up a copy of DQ8 and will probably stream it since I'm an awful nerd.

Welp, just had a guy attempt to drag my fiance out of her Jeep on her way to meet me to get our marriage license. Dude was raging because he couldn't pass her because of oncoming traffic and started driving erratically, they hit a stoplight and he gets out of his car and comes up and starts screaming that he's going to beat her rear end and tries to open the door. She gets away and he follows her for another 15+ minutes wherein he tries to get out of his car at every light. She calls 911 and I start ripping towards them as fast as I can go safely and get there just as the cops arrive and pull the guy over. They take down the information, hassle the guy a bit, and then let him go, telling us that she must have done something to provoke him. She's shaken up but alright and I'm still shaking a bit, but I'm mostly incredulous that they just let the guy go after some finger wagging. What the gently caress is wrong with people.

I made that decision years ago with the Xbox 360, and I didn't have to fiddle with hardware until I bought an Xbox One last year. I did, however, have to replace that original Xbox once due to red ring syndrome, but I replaced it with a slim that was on Black Friday sale or something. Even full price the things cost, what, $400?

The craziest poo poo is that this happened to me around 5 years ago in the same town, different vehicle, different guy. The cops responded and said the same exact poo poo. The guy that was being aggressive to me was literally trying to run me off the road by pulling up next to me in the lane for oncoming traffic and swerving at me. They said the guy deserved a break because he was a veteran that came home with some issues and I must have provoked him. Same line. Bunch of Barney Fife motherfuckers.

I used to have a pair of safety glasses with every power tool and a couple of spare pairs. After the move I seem to have lost all but the worst 2 pairs. Time to restock.

This exactly. If someone is willing to go off the deep end that badly over some small perceived slight in traffic, imagine when something worse comes down. I feel bad for his loved ones and I genuinely hope he gets some help.

They'll sit on it for a few months, then claim the one guy who would look into issues like that was out on sick leave and by the time he got back it was too late to do anything. If you want to pursue this I'd go to the media - nothing will get the department's attention faster than a segment on the 5 o'clock news about how their officers let a roadraging rear end in a top hat off without as much as a warning and proceeded to blame the victim.

Not to mention the purpose of a CCW is not: ilkhan posted:... you should need a coroner. But I've always been a fan of harsh justice. They specifically tell you to attempt deescalate the situation or separate yourself from the aggressor before even considering using your CCW. Stop itching for the day you need to use your CCW. She separated herself from the aggressor and called for help. The only time she should've used a CCW is if she had no alternative. This is part of why we are having all these police abuse issues, failure to attempt deescalation, failure to use necessary force instead of excessive, overuse of lethal force....

Roll the window down just far enough for his hand to get in but nothing else, roll it up once his hand gets in, drive off? I mean, while we're suggesting bad ideas and arguing about them with faulty logic... Also, yeah, the great part of someone getting out of their car to confront you is that you're still in your car and cars go faster than people. I'm in favor of guns and such, but no loving way is this a situation to use them in, this is where you get moving again, then look up the location of the police department on your phone while moving and drive there. Let the fucker melt down in their parking lot if he wants.
