I love my Prelude. I paid $2,700 for it. I could sink another $10k into it and I'd have a perfectly good Prelude worth $6,000.
One of these days when I can stand to be out 10 grand, I'll fix it up. For now, I'm just enjoying it as it is. It looks like butt, but it runs good.
I've seen too many videos of people launching Wiimotes because they weren't wearing the strap. The Wii was around right as CRT was on its way out so I wonder how many LCD and plasma panels died this way.
Just a carryover. You reference communities here with an exclamation point. For instance:

Gotta swing 'er wide left then hard right for a turn on those tight city blocks.
I hate to be the good time ruiner, but unlike -40, it's not on the nose.
Still, really cool that it's as close a conversion as it is.
This was more of a one-off. My wife wanted the projector for other projects, but she was testing it out here. We usually throw these vids up on the TV, which is just out of reach for the both of them. But the TV is only 65". The projection was probably close to 12' diagonally.
Anyway, to answer your question directly, none.
Still rocking my Nintendo Wii! I mostly play GameCube games on it, but I do have Brawl, Mario Kart, Skyward Sword, and Galaxy 1 & 2. For GameCube, I have Sunshine, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, NFS Underground 1 & 2, Double Dash, Thousand Year Door, Melee, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, and Burnout.
It's also got Homebrew so I play SNES on it too. Been running Earthbound lately. I loved Undertale, but all this time, I've never played Earthbound, despite knowing about it for the last 20 years. I even snagged NES Monopoly, which is the only way I could get my wife to play Monopoly with me lol
Anyway, I needed batteries for my keyboard and it takes some 8 hours to charge them (good old nickel batteries, hey?) so I robbed the batteries out of my Wiimote. I need to put them back already.
Or, at least, what it does.
What's a good wee without a little target practice?
I've done this with my dinner table several times.
I packed all my shit this morning. Coffee beans, grinder, mug, lunch, silverware, laptops, earphones, I was on it. I got to work, unpacked my stuff, and that's when it hit me:
I have coffee. I do not have a K cup to put my coffee in. Work doesn't stock coffee for the Keurig. So I have my coffee, but I have no way to make it.
I went downstairs to use the vending machine. I'm okay paying $3.75 for a NOS. Jammed my card in, pressed the button, and waited....and waited...and waited........card declined. The card reader then said cashless was out of order. I'm broke, but I'm not that broke.
Whatever. I just took the elevator down and hit up a local coffee shop a short walk away. $6 for a 12 ounce latte before tip. Yay, I guess? The coffee was damn good and I'm finally awake so I suppose it was worth it.
Mondays are my only day to come into the office. I work from home the rest of the week. They're not usually this chaotic, but man, this morning has been a fucking train wreck.
Thorin turned 11 years old in June. He's definitely less playful than he once was, but he's as lovely as he's always been.
He certainly sleeps a lot.
We social distance, usually wear masks in public, and stay up to date on our vaccinations. But all it took was one lady with a mean cough on a two hour flight a week ago to ruin that...or so we think.
The timing really sucks. I had plans for my weekend.
I see the Westin Seattle, I photograph the Westin Seattle.
And in case you don't know:
Give it a listen if you like indie rock.
At least, I thought it was that one when I shot the picture
I've wanted to visit Seattle for years. But up until recently, we've always been suuuuuper broke. Finally, a decade into our careers, we're both in our early thirties. Considering kids, not planning for it, not rushing it. We didn't get to travel in our twenties, but in the last few years, our combined incomes have beaten inflation by a pretty good margin. My wife because she's unwilling to settle and looks for a new job as soon as she feels undervalued. Me because my workplace has been investing in its current staff and doling out regular raises.
I've been telling her for years I want to visit Seattle. So for Christmas, she surprised me with Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins tickets in Seattle. Then she arranged accommodations with this awesome view of the Puget Sound pictured above, a rental car, and lots of things to do. On her own. She just wanted me to pick out a few places I might want to eat. She did like 99% of the work of planning a vacation.
All of this following last year when, for my birthday, I got to buy a car I've been wanting (a manual '97 Honda Prelude) and a new GPU to replace my R9 290.
All of that, and she's the one that chased me. I wasn't even in the dating pool. She approached me. Said I was cute. Asked me to help her move into her new apartment eight years ago.
Now I'm in fucking Seattle because this woman loves me so much she plans out entire vacations and concerts for me. I just sat on the balcony with a cup of coffee before she woke up and cried. She is so good to me.
If only I could! Someone turned on the PlayStation 2 graphics. But here's the view my wife and I were greeted with last night.
Foggy, cold, and rainy with a hot cup of coffee is legitimately how I could start every day. Dreary weather is my heaven. Anyway, we're gonna see what that Ublic Market Center is about before we go home.
Solid van all around, and it has VTEC.
Post-wipe is when I'm at my lowest.
Now he has to learn the art of carrying stick.
Hell yeah! I've had mine since last summer. I had a 4 speed auto in high school and college, and I always told myself that if I could do it again, I'd get it with a stick so that's what I managed.
What gen Miata? I've been wanting to drive an NB for a long time, but I can only realistically afford to have one 20+ year old car at a time lol
