Oh, I know. And at least some emulators let you use the mouse as a faux light gun so all is not lost.

There are patches for the NES zapper games to make them work on modern TVs.

I am wondering if you are talking about capacitors. Like this?

If you use it to print defamatory comments about people it becomes a libel maker.

I am not sure what you mean by beans. But I have shoved some alligator clips into a battery compartment in a pinch. Two AA batteries in series are 3v so that is the voltage you would supply for that. Doesn’t come up much because I have quite a few rechargeable batteries around. I did recently find my old Tamagotchi and have been considering putting it on display somewhere after Frankensteining a power supply for it.

I am saying that. Just checked one that I have and it appears to be capable of supplying up to 60w. Give it a try before getting rid of any official adapter. Make sure the polarity is correct (most things besides music gear are centre positive).

You can get USB cables that output selectable voltages from about 1v-20v to a barrel jack. I just make sure the power requirements are labeled on the device and get rid of the bulky wall adapter. I have to keep a few weirdos like the N64 power supply, but I was able to free up a significant parcel of closet space.

Bring back? Do you currently not have the death penalty? That’s blowing my mind. I had no idea that was abolished in the US.

I am maybe in the minority around here. I am excited to play around with these games. Also, even though the narrator says you need to buy the accessory, I suspect the Labo thing or any of the cheap Switch VR headsets will do the trick, and that’s what I’m intending to use.

It’s pronounced Ke$ha Louise.

IT’S A TRAP!

Curled up in the corner of an empty room, clutching knees, crying, and rocking; “at least we stopped Poilievre“.

Yes, things could have been worse, but why can’t they ever just be good? Don’t we deserve that from time to time?

 

The Scanner Price Accuracy Code is a Canadian retail voluntary practice managed by the Retail Council of Canada and endorsed by the Competition Bureau. It was introduced in June 2002 as Canadian retailers were in the midst of updating their point-of-sale systems with barcode readers to "foster consumer confidence" with the new systems.

Full disclosure: I didn’t just learn about this today. I did just learn that it didn’t exist until 2002 which seems pretty late to start using barcodes.

Anyway, I have noticed a lot of stores have dropped out of the program or are bending the rules about what a posted price actually means (like if the price tag is on the shelf under the thing instead of actually on the thing). Sure, none of this is legally required — but still — don’t let them take this from you.

 

Like, do I bring spare clothing or do I take transit home as is and just explain to everyone that the blood and semen I am covered in is fake and then simply answer any follow up questions the police they call have for me?

 
 

The distinction doesn’t even translate to verbal communication and many languages are perfectly fine without cases. It is meaningless. Stop it!

 

Like, is it an eshop game at that point or some sort of worst of both worlds situation?

Does anybody have the MyHouse QR code thing that you are supposed to download? I tried for several months but the download was always at capacity and now the link is seemingly expired. Can a charitable community member just share whatever that is supposed to be with me? Thanks, y’all.

 

Like, from inside China to the outside, but a bilateral solution would be fine with me, too.

 
 

It seems like Funko pops shouldn't have stood a chance in a space so thoroughly saturated with collectible plastic characters from any franchise imaginable. And there was candy involved.
