They stopped the Russian advance on their own, long before any shipments of weapons arrived.

The fact they’ve been able to hold out this long against a numerically superior foe is indeed due to massive support from other countries. But if they hadn’t held the line in the beginning, alone, there wouldn’t have been anyone to support.

I won’t ever look down on them. They spilled the blood and cried the tears. All we did was throw them a bunch of surplus shit we didn’t need anymore, so that our MIC can sell us newer shit.

I just finished depositing a post-processed meal into the local liquid/solid biomatter waste disposal system, FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

Yes I still have it. Repair of the motherboard was attempted but failed. Then I sent pics to the premier repair guy overseas. He said it was too damaged to repair, unfortunately.

I’ll probably part it out at some point but I haven’t had the will to fully dismantle it yet.

Still have the first computer I bought with my own money, and it still works. It’s an Amiga 500 from 1991. I fire it up and play ancient games with it once in a while, on the ancient 1084s CRT monitor.

Also had one of the super rare A3000T’s but unfortunately the battery corroded the motherboard while I had it stored away. I didn’t even learn about that problem until researching what had gone wrong with my beautiful Amiga tower. C’est la vie. At least I was able to get an image of the 120MB SCSI hard drive, which I can boot up in an emulator and relive the glory days of 1993.

I still use my Zune HD for tunes in the helmet whenever I go skiing. 15 years old and still rockin’.

I SAID IT’S TIME TO TAKE OUR METAMUCIL.

I remember Parsec from a friend’s house but I didn’t have that one. I had Jawbreaker and Hunt the Wumpus, and the extended BASIC cartridge. I was a party animal back then.

I’m old enough to have saved and loaded data with a cassette drive (i.e. a random ass tape deck with a special cable attached to the computer) on a TI-99/4a. You had to set the volume level the same for recording and reading or else it wouldn’t read correctly. Get off my lawn.

Sorry can’t get myself in a tizzy over the tiny amount of money we spend helping people over the gazillions we spend killing them.

Stupid article.

That’s nvts.

Let’s add Pauly Shore and call it Weezing The Beetlejuice.

I’m struggling to understand why you felt the need to post this hot take in a retro gaming help thread.

All enemies, foreign and domestic

Jewish is an ethnicity. There are plenty of Jewish people in the world that don’t practice religion and are therefore not in a “Cult”.

Every American Jew I’ve known personally in my life has been a pretty chill person.

A lot more. Buckle up.

I have 5 static IPs, I’ll be fine.

Eventually, if you’re lucky, you’ll get a good one that teaches you some tools to help yourself.

I’ve had several and have seen everything from ‘amazingly helpful’ to ‘collecting a fee, didn’t even listen’.

Finding a good one is 80% of the battle. Sadly I haven’t discovered any shortcuts there.

Only a recommendation against. I bought a KitchenAid KODE500ESS double wall oven and apparently it comes free with a whole pile of regret.

The upper oven glass exploded while cooking baked potatoes the first week I had it. Shit happens but the hoops I had to jump through to get a new oven were just ridiculous. But I did eventually get one.

The glass on the bottom oven exploded right before I sold the property less than a year later. It had never been cooked in. I opened the door to check it and closed the door (normally) at which point it detonated itself.

I had to threaten KitchenAid with CFPB and my state attorney general to fix the second one under warranty. They wanted $900 before they caved because “oven glass is not a functional item and not covered under warranty”.

Just don’t buy from them. They are out to screw their customers.

Levar is probably the second most impactful person to my life that I’ve never met, right behind Mr Rogers. And maybe Bob Ross in third (for reasons unrelated to his painting).

You keep mighty company, Mr Burton.

Doom 2 totally ripped off Doom. Barely any changes.

Not sure why Doom devs didn’t sue.
