If I got really stuck I'd quit, but only to come back to it a few days later. Having a fresh view on something that was stumping me helped a lot.

Hmm.. someone should probably make a NES/SNES thread or a nostalgia one so we would not clutter this one up.

Edit: Made one right here.

I dunno, this is keeping the topic off sensitive subjects. Let's keep going.

Anyways, favorite SNES game?

My parents knowledge of computers is better than that. Which says a lot, since my mom thought Chrome was a virus, thought putting the computer in a thermal box thing (you know, where you can keep your drinks cool) since she thought it'd help. Good news is, I have a new computer. Bad news is, ALL OF THE REACTION PICS and the pr0n :'(

My mom refuses to use Chrome b/c she thinks it makes the computer run slower. O.O
She just has a shitty computer.

To be fair, chrome uses a fuckton of RAM, as far as browsers go. If her computer doesn't have much memory, it could be a huge slowdown vs Firefox.

Not something I heard, per se, but...

I was looking at the faucet valve for the dishwashing sink, and noticed it was made by a company called American Valve. Then I saw next to it the country where the valve was manufactured: China.

...Goddamnit.

I always changed the controls before starting, so I always knew.

If I don't have a manual or a tutorial for a game, I just immediately press all the buttons just to see what each one does. It generally helps.
