It's Saturday night, I have no date, A 2 Liter bottle of Shasta, and my all Rush mixtape. Lets rock.

My teeth hurt from looking at that image.

Seriously, how are they going to get through that whole box of cookies without some milk added in?

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look at this fancy cunt with the expansion pak.

The cover actually fits on top of the expansion pack.

Source: I went and looked at my N64 😄

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Right on the front of the console, with the red banding. The system didn't come with it. It was only needed for one game (DKC64), which it came bundled with.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

:/

Until I zoom right in, it looks grey like the game cartridge in that photo. I'm mistaken on its size, could have sworn it took up the covers space.

It was required for more games though. Majoras Mask for example.

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

The photo is of a jumper pack, which did come with the console. If removed, the console will not power on...

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

The people upvoting OP and downvoting you have no clue what they're taking about.

The photo is of a jumper pack, which did come with the console. If removed, the console will not power on. It is NOT a 4MB expansion pack...

All the jumper pack in the photo does is bridge the pins so the console turns on.

Needs smash Bros and 3 more controllers.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And maybe 3 friends, optionally.

[–] occhionaut@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just throw all my extra controllers in the dryer at low speed. LG kicks my ass real good

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

lmfao, nice

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 17 points 1 year ago (5 children)

You had me until those nasty cookies

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Those cookies are absolutely disgusting. I can't help myself but eat like the whole container.

Just sugar cookie frosting crack.

Then I end up convulsing on the floor from sugar overload.

[–] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Diabetes can lead to amputations, and too often does. Be careful.

[–] jjagaimo@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

I hope they amputate my head so I can stop eating them, sure way to stop the addiction

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

But If I'm amputated I don't have to work anymore and I can eat more sugar cookies and N64.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The cheaper cookies allowed the splurge on the vastly superior glass bottle Mexican Coke with real cane sugar.

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Calling them cookies is an insult to all other cookies.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You're wrong, but that's okay. You're allowed to have wrong opinions.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thank you, sir/madam. I know these cookies are controversial

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I fucking love those but my diabetes doesn't.

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The only cookie that melts in your mouth. I swear the dough is just densely packed powdered sugar.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Boutta get diabetes tonight

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Take me there

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My jam was some Zelda, sour cream and onion chips, and a 2 l bottle of either diet coke or cream soda. This photo filled me with so much nostalgia.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

A case of grape soda id drink through twizzlers and ocarina of time

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Majora's Mask... Summer Vacation....

Oh my god ...

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

You might be joking, but I'd have that every night, retro consoles never get boring!

[–] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Buckle up, it's gonna be a Rainbow Ride!

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I really wish old consoles didn't usually need old TVs to work well. I used to have a N64, NES, and PS2, but I sold them all because I was moving and didn't want to schlep the absurdly heavy 2004ish plasma TV I had to play them on.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Brother, have you heard of our lord and savior, emulation?

Outside of a few weird edge cases, everything up through N64 era is easily emulatable. PS2 is... okay for most popular games but still actively being worked on.

There's even video shaders if you want to make it look like your old boxy TV. A lot of games from that era have graphics made with CRT screens in mind.

Here's the wiki maintained by people from 4chan's Emulation General thread.

Edit: I get the preference for original hardware, but if space/money are limited, it's a more than passable alternative.

[–] DarkSirrush@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When was the last time you looked at ps2 emulation? Less than ~~2%~~ 1% of all ps2 titles are unplayable, and everything that I have tried playing works great.

Also, every Nintendo console works amazingly well, and the switch actually sometimes has performance improvements on some games.

PS3 emulation is doable on a good PC, same with Xbox, though I haven't tried any newer generations than that.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My plan is to never move again. I have a couple of CRTs for retro gaming that would be a huge pain to transport.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I rock my old Apple color monitor for my old consoles. The same one I’ve been rocking since I was a kid. Gotta smack it from time to time. I’ll change the capacitors one day.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you were about to get fucked up there’d be a copy of Mario kart 64 and more than one controller😏

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Mario Kart is nothing. Bring out the Mario Party. You may never see the people you're with ever again.
