And just saying, if it’s the 72 pin connector, you don’t need a new one. Just pop yours out and bend the pins back out. It’s very very easy, honest to God there’s no reason to get a new one. I have new ones in my closet, probably 20 of them, but I’ve never really needed to use any of them.
If you don’t want to fool with that PM me your address and I’ll send you one.
Oh man they’re so so so easy to fix.
My childhood NES had a capacitor go out recently and the color was off. It still worked it was just ugly.
I have like 10 of them so I just swapped my case, but for some silly reason it’s like I don’t feel connected to the “spirit” of the machine because of it.
I’m going to have to order new capacitors and you just reminded me.
Get that thing fixed. It’s so so easy.
Can you believe my original ps1 is still rocking hard with zero adjustments?
My ps2 is currently dead, but it was because I used thicker wire than necessary when modding it a thousand years ago and I need to just heat up the solder a bit.
That console is a nightmare to disassemble/reassemble though and it’s been down for around 15 years. I’ll fix it one day.
It blows my mind that gen z is old enough to be stuck in this mess with us.
The only chance I ever had to own a home was taking over the one I grew up in from my parents. I couldn’t raise my kids there though. The neighborhood went from being a nice little mining town to meth as currency town.
Good luck you guys. Maybe y’all can work on the boys following Andrew Tate off of a cliff and get this world going in the right direction.
Shit, in 40 years us millennials will finally be old enough to hold elected office. Hahahahaha
With a boombox sitting across from a radio?
I have no idea how I tolerated that with my cheap Koss portable cassette player. I was just happy to have the songs though haha.
I remember watching my mom sit and type code for games from magazines. If she made a mistake you’d know it. “MOTHERFUCKER!!!” rang through the entire place.
Me too, either old enough or poor enough. I had nothing but tapes and records until I seen a kid with a Discman at school and I HAD TO HAVE ONE. My mom got me one for Christmas finally and I had already traded up for every Nirvana CD, just had them there waiting.
I jumped to burning CDs as quickly as I could because I always wanted to be one step ahead with tech.
It’s crazy how far behind I am now. I always buy used phones, haven’t updated anything in my pc since 2014ish, still rocking a 2009 Mac Pro for music production.
I have, eh, how do you say? Got old? :(
700mb was insane back then. I had a 6gb hard drive.
My mom and my girlfriend bought me an 80gb hard drive for my birthday and I couldn’t believe I had so much storage.
I still have it because I don’t want to lose what’s on it, but that ship probably sailed. It had mechanical failure about 20 years ago at this point.
I remember this being a DVD thing. By the time I got a dvd burner though mine supported both.
The RW issue with CDs was that a lot of older players couldn’t read them.
Do you believe in aliens?
LLM sings a goofy Reddit thread song from 20 years ago.
“I believe in aliens, you sexy thang.”
I am a straight man. I have lived as a straight man all my life. I have only been with women.
Yet, I was somehow bullied for being gay in high school until I just dropped out. I mean, there was more to it than that, but that was the reason I vomited when I seen the school sign.
