Until yesterday after finding one at a yard sale, I never knew these were a real thing and not just a creepy movie/toy/game prop. Turns out they were a toy in the 1950's.

Guy Mann posted:Someone made a doohickey that lets you upload a ROM for A Link to the Past and randomizes the location of all the items except for small keys. It's theoretically possible to get an incompleteable game but is apparently surprisingly workable for someone familiar with the game. I can link a bunch of the races I've watched(so far) that are really good if you'd like. There's a few that are just incredible, including one where a dude straight up just catches up to his opponent in tiny increments over the course of the last half of the run and overtakes him in the final ascent towards Ganon, winning only like 15 seconds ahead of his opponent in a nearly two hour race. There's also plenty of races where someone gets completely poo poo on by their more skilled opponent and eventually has to be told to stop because they've been going for too long and won't finish for another few hours probably at the rate they're going, which is always a bummer both for them and to watch.

My mom was monstrous at tetris and Dr mario. Never beat her at them back in the day. Dad's game of choice was snes star fox, he loved that loving thing, I think he even beat it which I was never able to do.

He keeps getting all the bait out of the trap I keep setting without tripping it at all, he's basically the Jerry to my Tom, and has set up a nest above my bed area somewhere in the crawlspace, so I get to hear him occasionally scream because did you know squirrels like to scream? because they do.

I've had issues like that in the past, not with squirrels but I remember there being raccoons in the attic when I was younger and we had to get an animal control person to get them out. I don't suppose that's an option for you with the squirrel, is it?

There's videos of what happens when you put a june bug in a hamster cage(hamsters eat beetles in the wild sometimes and june bugs are a healthy snack for a pet hamster). Turns out hamsters can instantly switch into prowling predator mode too. It's great.

I'll ask here too in the offchance someone here might know(and it's a much livelier thread than one in SHSC) my printer arbitrarily started doing this today: (addresses and poo poo blanked out with green blocks)  It does this, consistently, even after replacing cartridges, for everything, when set to grayscale. When set to color, it prints a solid black sheet of ink-soaked paper. No settings have been changed, no hardware has been hosed with, and it was printing perfectly fine two days ago. What causes this? It doesn't seem to be hardware fuckery since it prints the actual label just fine, except black/magenta/yellow/cyan stripes inverted to what the printout is supposed to be. I don't want to print any more test sheets as, you can likely see, it wastes a SHITLOAD of ink. Any help would be appreciated, I gotta ship a bunch of stuff today and this cannot continue. edit: the printer is an Epson XP-320.

Yeah I just said gently caress it and pulled the backup printer out, an old Epson stylus photo 820. It has never failed to work, but the ink used to be impossible to come by so I stopped using it. Seems like there is now multiple places that sell dirt cheap refills for it so gently caress those Epson 320s. A shame since I've still got a fair amount of ink for the 320s, oh well. Maybe I can sell the two broken ones for parts and include the ink to get a decent amount for them. Edit: I wouldn't say all printers are cheap poo poo, but newer ones most definitely seem to be. Maybe they're going for manufactured obsolescence with newer models, the photo 820 is a tank.

Spoderman posted:Any laser printer made by Brother is good, just choose the one with the features you need and do some serious soul searching as to whether or not you need to print in color. If you need to print in color once a month or something, just go to Kinkos, you'll save money on toner/equipment and get a higher quality print than you could ever get with a home printer. If you need to print in photo quality color every day for your job, you may be stuck with an inkjet. Otherwise, get a laser printer.

Easily one of the most enjoyable manga out there, especially if you like to binge read (since there's nearly 900 chapters now) but also is currently in its strongest arc in at least a decade.

precision posted:okay so i just got to the part where the guy with the accent i can't place (the video linked by invictus about one piece) Franky is a shipwright cyborg powered by cola whose design was inspired by Ace Ventura, who doesn't believe in pants and gets extremely emotional towards touching backstories. He can breathe fire, shoot his fist like a grappling hook, and his personality is influenced by the flavor of soda you give him. Tony Tony Chopper is a reindeer who accidentally ate the Human-Human fruit, making him a Reindeer-Human, which caused him to be exiled by his herd for being a freak. He was adopted by a lovely hobo doctor who lived in a tree and after a really loving tragic backstory decided to take up doctoring. He developed a medicine that lets him transform into a variety of different attack/defense forms, manipulating the devil fruit's ability. Brooke is a gentlemanly skeleton swordsman musician with an afro who was killed along with his entire crew fifty years ago, but since he had eaten the Soul-Soul fruit, his soul came back to earth to come back to life a second time. He couldn't find his body in time though and it had turned into a skeleton by the time he did, so now he's a skeleton man instead of a normal man. He heals by drinking milk. He's also a big perv, but is gentlemanly about it. Capone "Gang" Bege is a mafia boss who ate the Fortress-Fortress fruit, his entire body is a fortress. His whole pirate crew lives inside him and can launch or shoot out of him to attack like some kind of horrifying advent calendar. He values family very highly but is very ready to backstab any allies he may have in the name of treasure. These are four characters of at least 800 named characters. Some may only show up for a panel, but there's hundreds that are recurring. The entire world of One Piece is interwoven so well, it doesn't always follow the Strawhats, it constantly updates on the state of the world as well, which helps in giving the series a much grander scope. It's worth noting that most of the biggest mysteries still have not been answered, like what Devil Fruits are, or what One Piece is, things introduced in the first chapter. But the focus is on the adventure, not the answers, so people don't mind not knowing until Oda's ready to tell us. Also, Oda realized his series was really long so he put the entire series online to read for free because he understands some people can't afford 80+ volumes(but asks that you buy it if you can afford them), he's a really cool guy. One Piece is good! bloodychill posted:I can't get past the Michael Jackson-meets-Pinocchio vibe the characters have going. precision posted:bone is fuckin' amazing It's so drat nice.
