The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

I spent half an hour just pulling weeds and selling it back for shells and I feel so calm. I don't even think about the virus.

I need to find a game that chills me out like that.

They should replace Star Tours with an updated version of Body Wars. One where there are different missions inside the human body, as implied in the original pre-show video. Or even different shrinking adventures to other inner spaces.

Ahh, no.

Some neat plans for a quick service restaurant planned to replace Monsanto’s House of the Future. Was supposed to have a rising stage (like the Tomorrowland Terrace) encased within a curtain of water.

That's a concept that very easily could return for a future Tomorrowland remodel.

I'm a huge game fan and have everything from Atari 2600 to now and I'd honestly say that the types of games we enjoy (your tastes in games seems to mirror mine) are very rarely made.

I play my older systems more than the new stuff. The switch does have a ton of independent games that suit us, but its hard to find what the good ines are since there are so many.

Game design philosophies are a lot different now vs what they used to be. I bought the last generation of consoles at launch but so few games appealed to me that I may miss out on the new Xbox and Playstation.

Although I own a genesis/cd/32x I recently purchased a genesis mini and modified it to add more games as well as game gear and master system games and have been having a blast.

I also did this with an arcade1up cabinet and now have about 1300 arcade games at home that I can play on a cabinet. Very fun.

My dad and I are big fans of older games and I have been wanting to put together a cabinet with him as a way to spend time together both during the build and after while playing it. I know Arcade1Up Cabinets only come with a set amount of games, did you basically flash them all onto the 1Up system or did you have to install a new OS for the cabinet to be able to add more games?

Can't stop thinking about this new LEGO pirate set. Reminders me so much of the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock from the early days of Disneyland. Seriously considering putting aside the money and buying this for $200.

If you do, put a can of tuna inside so it can really be The Chicken of the Sea

Prince Charles test positive for coronavirus. He, and his house staff of 30 will be isolating themselves.

That just proves that the shape shifting Reptilians are not immune to it either. The Queen must be on the outs with the Illuminati.

You probably all saw this, but in case not..



I love the Dapper Dans, so it made my day!

I get it. I feel the same way about the Cheshire Cat Mad Tea Party Funko pop.

I do not lol, I’ve probably spent 10 days at SeaWorld parks in the last ten years.

That is indeed strange then

Im guessing you tend to go Sea World in early July ?

Yup. Actually this month was the first time I had gone to SeaWorld at a time other than early July. In hindsight I’m particularly glad I went in case they don’t reopen.

Totally hooked on Animal Crossing. As a responsible leader, I should build the lighthouse next. But... but.... buuuuut...
