I dont care, if they have a game I want, at a fair price, in reasonable condition, I dont see why I wouldnt get it from them

Most of the problems are with their consoles who they claim are fully refurbished but usually arrive in a horrid state especially for the price. Even when buying games from them you are typically paying more than most other sites that sell games.

So really they seem to try to sell to people that have no fucking clue about what old games/consoles should cost or Grandma's who buy it for their Grandson and also have no fucking clue what they should cost. Grandson asks Grandma to buy him a Super Nintendo and she finds Dk Oldies by happenstance so there ya go.

They also typically don't ship consoles with the normal controllers made by the manufacturer so you can get some jank ass controllers if you buy from them.

Wow being team DKOldies when they have also ripped you off with subpar products. Umm is this a case of Stockholm syndrome?

Even if DKOldies make some funny or cute videos that doesn't mean shit if they are charging a high price for stuff then usually delivering not even the base level of what they should. There are also countless stores out there that also offer this stuff, it's not like the only place to get a Pokemon Gold is from DkOldies.

There are some pretty great mods for the game including one that really feels like it was made by the main developers where you play the bosses of the game. Now obviously you can't typically play these on console but if you do play Slay the Spire on PC or any number of PC handhelds you can utilize them.

I assume the developer might be working on a new game though, we just haven't heard about it yet.

You have to watch the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie so you aren't lost when you watch the new one. Both movies have strong story ties connecting them, though they haven't mentioned it much.

Looks like if you go by homicide rate San Fran is by far one of the safer large cities, if you go by just violent crime it's 40% above the national average which still puts it below many very big cities.

The need for car ownership will never change until public transportation improves 10,000%. I am 68 years old and until 2 years ago when my car was destroyed by vandals and made unrepairable I had owned a car since 1971. The only reason I haven't starved to death is thanks to New Hampshire caring for it's elders more than any other state I know of. We have a community action program (free with voluntary donations) for elderly and disabled people to get to doctors and groceries and the like. Without that or a car I'd be dead now.

A lot of that shit is chicken or the egg scenarios, also I will point out in the modern world many areas have grocery delivery services. Now some small town in bum fuck nowhere might not have that but you can easily order groceries from a good number of grocery stores and they will deliver.

But yeah public transportation is heavily not a thing because of the car culture in America. Some cities do have a reasonable public transport and obviously larger cities typically do, but since so many in America buy cars and invest heavily into them it never becomes a major focus.

DeSantis is a real piece of shit, his selection process for finding his wife from what I heard on John Oliver's show was to take possible dates to a restaurant and gush repeatedly about Thai food but call it Thigh food over and over, if any of those dates dared to correct him he would eliminate them from having a future relationship.

You have to be a completely egotistical chauvinist pig to have this policy. So even those that believe in what DeSantis says still could find him a jackass based on that alone.

They are pretty damn great, and really trying to limit mushrooms to one type only is odd. There are a ton of variations, it's similar to asking if someone likes pizza but then only claiming that a pepperoni pizza counts.

Difference is people actually want heroin and cocaine, nobody's smuggling food colouring.

If food coloring had the same affects that heroin and cocaine did they would.

The thing is they already make a version without the banned ingredient in the rest of the world.

This is just a classic case of candy companies don't want to pay say $10 more to manufacturer a huge batch of the candy. They will skirt costs anywhere they are legally allowed to do so to generate just a bit more money.

theres probably all sorts of stuff people eat now that in a couple decades people are just gonna be like holy shit that used to be in energy drinks

I'm sure though with science now compared to the late 1800's when heroin was first introduced we do know a lot more about this stuff. Also many scientists and doctors have already warned about the dangers of energy drinks in general.

Kinda blows my mind that this was never an issue in the past, reminds me of the time when they would put a bit of cocaine in Coca-Cola. There also was a time when heroin was sold as general cough medicine.

If this was actually happening they would keep it under wraps at all costs, the last thing they want is a panic that some alien/human war would break out.

If I was that bad with cash in general, I would use purely credit/debit. Cash is a bigger hassle 9 times out of 10 anyways constantly having to worry about change back and dealing with a lot of random lower value coins/bills.

You make 10 purchases with credit/debit and you don't have to deal with shit meanwhile 10 purchases with cash only looks as good if you have near exact change every time.

I take pretty damn long walks almost every day, and even on days when I see quite a few people they almost never try to talk to me. So really if you want a time when no one is on the street/sidewalk you have to go super early in the morning like 3-5am, but if you don't care as long as no one approaches you I think most times work.

The only way NK would start world war 3 is if China got involved, if they sent a single nuke at us we would blow them up back to the stone age. The entire country would just be a wasteland of nothing.

You should see the pictures of what Hiroshima looked like after it got hit with one nuke back at the end of WW II and realize that is only a fraction of what a modern nuke can do.

All of the above!

Mountain Dew is the healthier choice for once!

To be fair milk shakes in general are horrible for you, though they are typically more filling then a soda. If someone drinks a shake of the same size as a can of coke or something, odds are they feel fuller longer.

It's why soda is so bad you can just chug it and it doesn't typically offer feeling full. It's also pretty rare to see someone constantly drink milk shakes but a soda drinker will likely have at least a few a week if not at least a few a day.

It is a toss up between Return of the King, Braveheart, Gladiator, and The Silence of the Lambs. I really like Unforgiven, The Godfather (I and II) and Parasite as well. It should of been Pulp Fiction or Goodfellas as they both should of won for their respective years.

It wasn't a surprise Forrest Gump won it was a cultural phenomenon when it came out. Sure over time Pulp Fiction has proven to be the more noteworthy film but that took quite a while. It might be the most popular role Tom Hanks ever did especially if we go by on time of release.

This coming from someone who has Tarantino in his top 5 greatest directors easily.

Can an employer just deem their employees as tipped salary?

I thought it had to be a job where tips were common for that to happen like working as a wait staff at a typical sit down restaurant or something. Like if I run say a plumbing business and my employee receives a tip on average of 1 in 50 jobs does that mean I can then claim they are a tipped employee? Seems like a pretty damn ridiculous thing to me in that case, if you are receiving tips all the time sure maybe there is some leeway there but tips that are super rare should not trigger this.

He said he deserved a tip because he's "on call 24/7 to make sure the house is maintained." idk about you but I've NEVER had a landlord respond immediately to an emergency lol

If you live in an apartment complex you can get true emergency response if something crazy is going on, but it's never the landlord that shows up here. If a landlord lives on site and does all maintenance I guess there is a chance he might truly be available 24/7 but I doubt that.

Outside of bug bites which almost every human on the planet has experienced, I have had a goose act aggressive towards me. I swear geese are some of the most aggressive animals on the planet, they just aren't as deadly as say a hippo or croc.

Not wide enough

Well disc is a variant spelling of disk so it could go either way, since both words effectively mean the same thing. It's almost how colour and color are both correct technically though you typically see colour if you are in Europe.

a lot of people really like the "common man/woman" in politics but the fact is, while your average politician ain't too bright, the "average man" is significantly dumber. And with Greene, it's apparent.

I wouldn't claim she was anywhere near the average person's intelligence. She might be one of the dumbest people ever put into a position of political power. She easily claims the title of annoying though, she appears to go out of her way to try to stick it to the libs by being annoying bitch.

Go and ask people that have been fired from jobs like that, It typically comes without any warning.

The game is just giving you the most realistic experience possible.

Game looks pretty damn great, I imagine it will really push gaming PC's on release.

They are pretty damn nice and look far better, unless you are the type to need to stuff a billion things into a wallet. The one I have has slots for cards and a small area for cash, I like it alot.

The thing that really gets me is lately I've been hearing a lot of gambling ads and they always end with "have a problem call this number!" at the end and it always annoys me because anyone who hears that ad and goes "oh wow I'm hyped to throw my money away!" has a problem. Literally everyone they are aiming at with their ads has a problem.

Gambling is not always a problem, if you are the type to blow say $100-200 a year on gambling it likely doesn't become an issue. It's basically like saying everyone that enjoys a beer is an alcoholic.

My stepdad is a huge fan of betting on sports but he never bets huge amounts so he loses like $10-20 a game at most. He can easily afford that so even if he blows $200-300 a year on gambling it doesn't affect him. Someone that is losing say $5000-10000 a year on gambling has a major problem and it could destroy their lives financially unless they are making mad money.

It's been around for 20 years but they haven't had new episodes since what seems like 2018.

Evil is really the only word to describe them, but they're only doing their jobs in the systems we have set up.

Which is to be as evil as possible or be replaced by someone better at being evil.

Yeah, the only thing they have done though is do everything in their power to make tobacco look as good as possible and used money to leverage to ensure it remains legal.

Shit for years before they had to put the label on packs about the dangers they would constantly say they felt it was not damaging to human health. Pretty damn bad when they sang the tune of "Smoking is perfectly safe in my opinion!" For decades even as studies were showing the damage it did for years.

Steaks across the board have gone up heavily at nearly every restaurant I have seen. The price of food in general has risen quite a bit over the past 3 years but prime cuts of beef have gone up the most.

How many oranges have you eaten today? Yes/No

I don't get why everything needs to have 5 options. Or why responses need to talk about things that aren't asked about in the question.

Why doesn't your poll have at least 5 options?

Stop apologizing whenever your kid interacts with me like they're some kind of burden upon the planet

Yeah, he has down syndrome, I could tell, my day isn't made worse off because I interacted with a grown man who wanted to show me his hot wheel

Some people might get more annoyed so they likely just default to apologizing, there are assholes out there that would be incensed that anyone came up to them for something like that. The average person likely isn't going to make a huge deal about it, but that doesn't mean everyone does.

I have a feeling Switch 2 or whatever they will call the successor console will be announced soon, even if it does come out that doesn't mean Switch support dies immediately.

Typically there is a year or two period where both consoles will be supported, crap PS2 sold very well and for years after PS3 came out you could still find new PS2 titles.

If you had a subscription to Nintendo Power back then, you could have rented one with three games for three days for a reasonable price (I think $29.99). That is where most of the ones on the market came from, because I doubt many people wanted to go out and buy one after renting it and having to deal with all the crap.

That is how I tried it out.

I picked mine up from Toys R Us about 4 or 5 years after it came out. They were fire selling them brand new in the box for like $70. I was curious what it was like so paid that price, even at $70 it felt a bit overpriced. I assume it was just back stock that Toys R Us had that never sold that was sitting in a warehouse for a few years.

Turns out that buying them at that price would end up being a steal because now a new in box one has way more value on sites like Ebay. Even used they go for like $170 or more and that is if they are nowhere near mint condition.

Right, sorry fellas had a Mandela effect on how the VB was actually used and thought it was put on like a pair of goggles.

I have a feeling a good portion of the internet has never used one, the thing came out in the mid 90's, and it was taken off the market pretty damn fast. So even those that were alive when it hit might have never used one.

It didnt strap to your head

If you did attempt to strap one to your head using any means it would likely cause neck strain, the thing was damn heavy and that was why Nintendo didn't have it come with one.

Virtual boy is the worst one by a landslide, even if you can put up with the constant headaches it also requires a really odd way of sitting to play it you have to set it on the table then like kneel in front of it or have a very high table that allows you to use it while sitting down.

The hoops you have to jump through to use one is ridiculous.

High School DxD is a pretty solid show but it certainly caters to a certain type of anime enjoyer.

It's a luxury service that is designed as such, doing it on super rare occasion is not a huge deal to me. Obviously if the money is a huge issue then yeah never do it, but it's meant to cater to lazy people and people with money to burn. For those that get the service on a regular or semi-regular basis I mean.

I really enjoyed shows like My Hero Academia, Dr. Stone, and Hunter x Hunter, some other good ones are Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer.

Kill la Kill is also great but be warned it really does a ton of fan service with very skimpy outfits.

Water is a tremendously good conductor of electricity, it's why they advise not having any electrical devices plugged in and turned on near a bath or other source of water. Urine contains plenty of water so yeah, it can cause some of that electricity to hit the person that is peeing on it.

Those that have Alzheimers typically have a easier time recalling old memories for some reason. So that is why they might constantly talk about the good old days or tell old stories.

I remember watching one of these in the cheap theatre, and nearly everyone in the theater was cracking up throughout the movie. These are the most unintentionally funny movies ever made, especially if you don't take them seriously.

I had no idea that a theater could have been primarily a crowd that watched the films in the so bad it's good type.

Bacon is a more modern pizza topping as a kid in the 80's I never saw bacon on a pizza I also don't remember it much in the 90's feels like from the 00's onward pizza companies started pushing it more.
