He's infiltrating his Jefferies tube.
He has a history.
Wow, that's a steal.
I'm exaggerating here, I only have about 200 laserdiscs. That's just a portion of my physical media collection. But I do really enjoy them. My toddler calls them "big movies" and we've watched Bambi I don't know how many times. And hell yeah, Jaws and Aliens! I have the Criterion release of Silence of the Lambs, and that has also gotten a lot of play time.
I don't know if I can pick a favorite artist, my tastes are too varied. There's a ton of good suggestions in this thread, so a couple album recommendations I have that I don't see are:
Mannheim Steamroller - Fresh Aire II
Rheostatics - Melville
We used to have huge crowds, I've been there. I've campaigned with them. Huge crowds. We filled the National Mall. Millions of people. You should have seen them. I've spoken to them. Now, they're all gone. Where are they, I don't know. They were huge. Now they're so small. You should see them now. Wow. What a small crowd.
They had those keyboards in my college labs, too. And those monitors. It's not bad for a membrane kb. And I like how they look, which is the big reason I did a Dell build. Well, other than the fact that I got the tower at a flea market for like, $20.
Oh, you can't do shit on the internet these days. Lol. I don't know of a single browser for it that supports https. I tried installing Steam on it, but the last client supported for it can't connect anymore. I could probably still play some LAN games with it, but it's really just for me solo.
I just got a Switch 1, I'm not ready for change!
I'd say anything college or later is modern to me. Probably why I still have a Windows XP gaming PC. XD
I have a toddler that's starting to get into Disney, so I've been expanding my collection. Last week, I got the Masterpiece Lion King boxed set. I already have a lot (probably a dozen) Disney Home Video CLV discs, I think I'm going to try to get the CAV releases instead.
I got this when he sold his house to move to an assisted living facility. It's just been sitting in my garage for a couple years. Busy with the kid and all that. Well, we just got a little child trailer, and I didn't want to pull it with my mountain bike so figured it would be a good time to clean this guy up. New tires and tubes. Cleaned and lubed. Waxed. I thought it was trying hard to look like an old Schwinn, so I thought some nice shiny fenders would help out with that.
I have so many memories of going on rides with him, and of him taking it camping. I always thought it was a nice looking bike. I'll have to show him a picture of it all cleaned up next time I see him, I don't think he's ridden it in at least a decade.
Next on the agenda is new brake pads, and some retro lights. Any other suggestions? Maybe a white saddle seat, or different handlebars? I'm pretty sure its only value is sentimental, so the best suggestions are cheap suggestions. Thanks!
I can't stand the SpaceMouse Pro. They ruined it! Why would they swap the nice tactile buttons for stupid gummy membrane buttons? And why coat the whole thing in nasty soft touch coating that is going to turn to goo? We peaked with the previous generation of space balls.
Since I've been working from home though, it has gotten quite annoying to unplug my SpaceExplorer and take it back and forth to the office. It would be so nice to have one of those fancy new wireless ones. But that's not happening, since they ruined it.
So, I added USB-C to mine, instead. Now, I'll just have a cable at the office, and a cable at home and just take the unit itself back and forth. I can even leave a USB-C to USB-C cord in my case, in case I need to use it with my laptop away from my docks! If anyone is interested, I can share the STL for the little breakout board mounting piece I made.
Watch somebody post their Nuon collection now.
I have a fondness for the Game.Com. Most of the games are terrible, the screen is terrible, it's slow, and they try their hardest to just self-destruct. Mine is an amalgamation of 3 broken ones.
Here's an imgur link to my reviews of every game (except the elusive Wheel of Fortune 2), if you're interested.
Is that the well from The Ring?
