Right even if they were the same age, his behavior was manipulative and predatory.

On the tap water: It depends actually. As long as there are no unsealed components, batteries, etc. then this will not hurt anything. Warm water may also remove bits of excess flux from the PCBs which in some cases might be beneficial. (at least with some types of flux) Provided that they are properly dried off…

And? That’s on the purchaser to do the research if whoever is selling it off doesn’t know. It’s still his property to do as he pleases. If he is doing it to sell it off, then yea be upfront about it or don’t do it at all. But if his goal is to keep it, it’s his to do whatever he wants. It’s not up to the “community”…

I’m a collector and self-styled historian of video games, and it’s always been less about what’s on the outside than what’s on the inside - IE: the games. As long as the cart still works, it doesn’t really matter what you do to it IMO. Also, if your vintage game has an internal battery for saves, you’re probably going…

How is this so damn hard for people? If you want to resell it later, leave it alone. If you want to collect and keep, do whatever makes you happy. People just HAVE to put on their nerd glasses and start “AAAAAACTUALLLYYYY” the hell out of everything. Get out of people’s business.

Reading these angry comments like:

I read the whole (unredacted) interview. I know we all know this, but...I just can’t believe this clown is POTUS.

Yeah this is like 300% fake.

Yeah, not buying this. Unless he pulled the monitor toward him with his hands and even then, it’s a pretty perfect circle..seems bullshit.

Lucky for him this isn’t real. I mean...I can’t imagine it is. A perfectly head shaped hole? Throught the screen, pcb and the plastic in the back? I don’t know about you but I don’t think my head could punch a perfect hole through layers of flexible plastic...on a monitor that is just sitting on it’s stock stand.

Yep! As someone with years of experience in repairing laptops and monitors, the LCD panel itself is enough resistance to stop a headbutt. Also, an LCD hit like that wouldn’t get a nice clean hole, it would just shatter into shards.

All LCD’s have a metal casing and glass layer to spread the backlight.

Thank you for this comment.

Gita, thank you for this--and particularly for taking the time to collect opinions from the broader fanbase.

I personally find what Jontron had to say during the “debate” (if such it can be called with a straight face) absolutely repugnant, on both a (personal) moral level, and as someone who is reasonably well-versed…

That airfreshener is not up to the task.

This might sound crazy (what doesn’t these days), but I sat down for a perfectly innocent bowl of chicken soup, and suddenly saw.. well.. *everything*

Bush may have been an idiot and woefully inadequate, but at the bare minimum I could acknowledge he was a decent human being. Hell, I was starting to come around on him the years since he left office and became an endearing old goober, but Trump is rotten to his core. The fact that 50 million of my countrymen either…
