I had been collecting games and systems since I was 5, I'm 33 now. Since the PSP days, anytime I could mod a system this was the site I went to when I wanted info. From the Wii to the Wii U, Vita, PS2, 3, 4, mostly the 3DS (I had the Majora's Mask edition) and I was even about to bite the bullet and dive into modding my Switch. Unfortunately my entire town burned down last week, with my entire collection in it (as well as a hearty bluray collection, and my PCs. I always browse even when I don't have any specific reason to, just to see what is going on in the different scenes as a bit of a time killer. I'll still browse, because it's something to take my mind off the things around me, and hopefully I can get back to collecting as soon as I get out of this mess.

So, thanks to the community for existing, and being here when I need you.

I kinda understand. I lost my collection in a house fire 6 years ago. After I got my home affairs in order, I got back on ebay and started replacing everything I lost.

I'm guessing insurance would repay you for your collection, at the current market price?

I didn't have insurance at the time. We were staying with my girlfriend's mother for a short time before we got our own place. We weren't staying long.
Fuck, she wont claim it for you? I mean dont you technically have to have insurance? Most places dont even let you rent without proof of renters insurance.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
