Well, crap was maybe too strong of a word but they're nothing to write home about and not very precise (–4 to +10 seconds). OP seems attached to historical value, and if you ask me there's more interesting vintage watches to buy for that money, and some watches that will hold their value and aesthetics way more than PRX, which is all the rage now and will probably get old pretty fast.

Go for the second hand speedmaster from a reputable seller. This is the one you want and will eventually buy. If you really want to know more than you should about the watch, get the moonwatch only book. This is the bible that will help you to check everything from every version ever of the myth. Even if you don’t buy at the end, if you’re a geek I can assure you you’ll dig the content. The movements in those Tissot watches are crap, you’d be better get a serviced vintage in the 500-700 euros range than those glorified fashion watches in my opinion.

The conclusion here is that we’re all someone else’s normie I guess.

Hasn’t the whole fast food industry been based on this for decades? I always start salivating in advance when considering going to BK or McD and it's ALWAYS disappointing. Still, i'm always coming back. No more than once or twice a year, and it's still too much if you ask me, but I always seem to forget how much a betrayal those pictures are. That's good (fallacious) marketing to me. I don't know who this Seth is but he really seems like he’s never been through much.

US market was huge and US subsidiairies could impose their very own vision to HQ. It’s been the case for a lot of vg companies in those days. Check Capcom. Plus everything must look badass in the states, especially as the Genesis (Megadrive) was king back then there and looked way more mature.

Puzzle Bobble, actually, is definitely one of the more iconic Neo Geo title. If you open it, you may have a surprise. The game was such a success that Snk itself had to butcher other, less successful games (essentially Power Spikes II if I remember correctly), to produce conversions/bootlegs and answer to customer's demand. It has one of the best replayability of the system, it's very fun playing versus, plus, girls absolutely love it. There have been many sequels, but none live up to the original despite the additions, and they’re all more or less unnecessary.

I've been a fan of Beos philosophy since the Personal Edition but never had the occasion to run it on steel as I was too poor to have two machines back in the days, and now I miss login/password prompt at boot on Haiku. But i'm following it closely and I hope i'll be able to install it on my X220 for a web/mail machine !

Thanks for the link, this is exactly what I'm looking for as i've never been able to work with cataloguers like Lightroom or iTunes.

Never been a fan of editing photos, especially as I have difficulties dealing with the infinite possibilities. I just stick with default output from the camera and just fix backlight or some minor adjustments required. I'm a big fan of Foveon sensor (sigma dp, sigma sd) and lately fp and BF, it helped a lot as they really know color and I love how they deal with it. I also shot and process black and white film, and appreciate the "deal with film/developper characteristics" approach too.

Check your local classifieds for « DY » laptops, you’ll find a lot of hp computers for this exact reason !

Very happy with my units, set up through Home Assistant. Teardowns confirm that ikea has been able to put a great quality sensor for such a low price.
