The First World Problem Thread...Voice Your Struggle

[LiveOVErdrive]

The main thing was the clock in Gold and Silver (day and night pokemon), and how they had Kanto in them too

I loved how Red/Blue was the champion in Kanto too.

And the radio.

And the poke gear in general.

And the 251 pokemon. Damn.

I was in the middle of shaving my moustache when the battery died. So now the right side's clean shaved and the left side is as long as it gets without shaving for a week, until the battery's charged (it's probably already enough to finish shaving but can't be bothered right now).

My vacation is now over.

Time to get back to work....time to be thrown back in the fire.

Same tho. Feels bad, man.

I agree, though it was red and gold for me. Loved gold.

Red and silver for me. Played the crap out of those games back in the day, though I was always a little bit jealous of the kids who had a GB Color My parents bought me the GB Pocket for some longer trip we went on a few years before, and when the GBC came out they just wouldn't buy me one 'cause I already had the black and white one. I loved having the Gameboy though, as I sat on a train+bus at least two hours every day, I had plenty of time to level up

Do I remember wrong or did the Red/Blue/Yellow versions not have proper color support though? Not that I'd cared since I didn't have colors, but anyway, I recall seeing someone play it on a GBC and the colors being pretty weird...

lol might as well be on fire. We have a few key people leaving so I'll probably be stuck picking up the pieces here and there on top of my regular job duties.

IIRC, red and blue had a different color per town or something like that. There must have been some basic color programmed in for the Super Gameboy. I might be thinking of yellow.

I Had the big chunky first Gen Gameboy, and all my friends got the GBC when gold and silver came out. I was so jealous.

On the GBC blue/red did not have full color support. The game had like a slight background color added to outlines depending on where you were. Idk about yellow. It would make more sense if you check out a YouTube video of someone playing through it on a gbc.

I had one of those nights. I typically buzz-cut my head with a beard trimmer with no extensions. One time, late Sunday night after a hard weekend, half awake, I went to trim my head. Ran out of battery with the whole back of my head left. And extremely uneven, natch.

I was just out of it enough to go full Crocodile Dundee. Grabbed the biggest fuck-off kitchen knife I could find and tried to shave with it.

FUCKING BRILLIANT!

This is why trimming your head while drunk is not recommended. Ever. Boy was my head a mess for a couple weeks.

I'm sure it's something in my DNA. Every older male relative I have has done something similar at some point. Glad mine's out of the way now.

Yeah, that's how I remember it. Anyway, I went all b/w so who cares

Yellow is the same as red/blue, just with Pikachu walking behind you all the time and being the first pokemon you get. Kinda like in the cartoon series...

Come to where the flavor is. Come to Salt Mine Country.

I played myself.

Just the other day I was admiring my pair of Beyerdynamic DT-770's thinking they must be the most durable headphones on the planet because I accidentally throw them on the floor at least once a day when I trip on the cord but now I just noticed that this piece that keeps the actual ear-parts connected to the headpiece came off.

Managed to snap it back but it keeps falling when I take the pair out of my head and accidentally twist the ear-piece. Really not eager to buy a new pair in this current (personal) economy. Especially since this is my second pair. The original pair lasted me for 10 years and I got these ones 2 years ago.

I am pretty sure I recall reading an Amazon review that specifically described that component is being susceptible to breakage in the newer models back when I was going down the headphone rabbithole.

Ironically, I settled on almost 100% plastic audio technicas

My fucking balls ache.

I had a vasectomy today, and now the local anaesthetic has worn off my balls ache like crazy. In trying to find a comfortable way to sit I have done something aggravating to my back, so my back hurts too.

Also, the surgeon who tended to my scrotum bore an uncanny resemblance to Stephen Merchant (the dude who voiced Wheatley from Portal 2) which made the whole process oddly surreal.

It gets better, bro.

Frozen corn and frozen peas. They were a way of life for a few days for me.

Before you do that, check their website for spare parts. I think they sell pretty much every component as a replacement!

Dude I was so FWP irked the other day; was on the road and went to go shave stuff but my trimmer was dead. Realized it had held a charge for like 8 months, couldn’t be mad. Also realized that I could have absolutely shaved half my shit and had it go dead and I’d have had to walk around like a fucking shaving lemming and was glad it didn’t happen….
