The obligation to stay on Facebook for things like this is so frustrating at times. It feels like LinkedIn, where I have it because it's the only place to get some information.

I've recently gotten into model building, in the sense of buying those sheets of pieces that need cut out and snapped or glued together. like this

The issue I have is that I'm not really into most of the things they make models of. Most model kits in this style tend to be classic cars, military vehicles, or anime/Gundams. Not that there's anything wrong with those things, they're just not particularly interesting to me.

But I can spend hours just browsing the model kits on websites like big bad toys

I'll be honest I completely forgot about the Chinese instructions because I set mine up quite a few years ago! That's a good warning to add on there, thank you!

So I'll preface this with - here's an example of how it turned out for me. Chuck E Cheese I'm 1994?

A big part of saving VHS tapes is that you can only save what the tape still has, so if the tape was poor quality already then you can only pull so much out of it. But if this kind of quality is reasonable for you, then this was done very easily.

I used an I-O Data GV-USB2 Video, they run about $50 USD. I recorded the video through OBS, which is a free program. Just plugged VCR into the I-O GV-USB2, hit recorded on OBS, and hit play on the vcr.

All of the upscaling is great but I think the cost-quality difference wasn't worth it considering the low quality of many of our home movies anyway. You can do better than what I have, and if it's worth the cost then absolutely go for it. But for 50 bucks I saved all of my family's old home videos on a hard drive and burned them to dvds and that's more than good enough for me.

Hey now. York isn't THAT bad, even though a Google search for "York PA" has a video called "York Pennsylvania Sucks" as one of the top results...

To keep it soiler free, the specifics don't matter. I read fan translations of the manga Attack On Titan because I got tired of waiting for the anime to be dubbed or released or whatever. So I finished the series a long while ago.

My brother has been watching the anime as it gets released. I've been saving memes I found about it and after the next section comes out I'll send them to my brother.

Well. One time I over estimated how far the anime had gotten and sent him a couple memes of events that he hadn't seen yet.

Now that I think about it, I also spoiled Hereditary in about the same way, through memes. I sent a couple in a group chat that reference

forgetting that one person in the group chat hasn't watched it yet but was planning on watching it soon.

I have a 100% positive feedback on ebay as a buyer, so that's cool I guess.

I haven't driven for Uber in years, but I was a 4.93 (last I can find. I looked for an old screen shot).

I was around Elo 1100 in Age of Empires 2 for a while, but I'm sure I would be lower now (and honestly 1100 isn't impressive. It's barely above average, but it's the only other rating I can think of).

And this made me realize that I'm not rated in many situations on a scale beyond "Hey good job"/"this could be better".

I'm not sure why there would be an argument at all? Most Christmas groups talk about food, music, decorations, other traditions...

Not usually a ton of actual arguing.

That's why !christmas@lemm.ee exists! I realize it's only me for now, but maybe someday I'll have people join me.

It is hard to just start conversations on your own but it really is kind of how you have to do it.

Absolutely this. As if browsing Popular on reddit wasn't bad enough, but I really only look at my subscriptions on Lemmy

Necessity, multiple times. I had incredible luck out of college - and by that I mean that places I worked at kept closing or getting bought out by other companies and doing major layoffs. I kept going back to my fast food job I had in college because it was better than nothing. I went back 4 separate times before I found a job that didn't close within a year.

So it wasn't exactly by choice!

Killer Instinct, arcade and SNES Killer Instinct 2 (arcade) which was kind of ported as Killer Instinct Gold (N64)

Those are my top tier without a doubt.

Bloody Roar : Primal Fury was absolutely excellent as well.
