Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

:| Opened another Sega Genesis 1, I think I might cut my losses and junk this one even though it was the version with the serial port but the case covered that port. But there's something that bothers me on this one..

Nothing on the PCB board or the RF shield, but the inside on the lid had this stain...

So... trash it or actually work on it as a project? :|

How did the bread come out? Greasy?

I would never make one myself, but if I absolutely had to...

I'd probably cook the bacon in the oven before even attempting it. Cook it at 350-450 until about 3 min before you'd normally take it out. Just slightly wobbly, just enough to wrap the bacon around what you're trying to wrap.

I have only run Netherreap so far, and I hated everything about it. The first boss nearly gave me a panic attack because I couldn't see anything, and that's one of my fears. Jumping into nothingness scared me because of my intense fear of heights. At one point in the dungeon the whole screen looked like it filled with water, which triggered my fear of drowning. Yeah, I have issues. The last boss took way too long. I had the minimum ilvl to get in, I had to run around too much and couldn't reach the boss most of the time... The whole thing was awful. I never want to go back.

Moving out of stuff is what losers do!

I had a friend who once said "dodging is for pussies" 10 seconds before he got punched off the titan arena.
