Okay, a question about a PAL Dreamcast.
. . .
There's one game that made them to start over and over again, like the whole starting animation thing and all, like every once in 5 or so seconds, until I shut them down and let them be for couple of hours.
I did some talking to them after that and there hasn't been any problems like that afterwards, though I haven't played that particular game after that episode.
I did play couple of hours with just a short pause since there was a fingermark on the disk and I tried to get rid of it, could either of those be the cause..? I tried to be gentle with the fingermark but I might've messed up with that, I'm not really accustomed with fingermarks... the game crashed thus I checked the disk and found the fingermark to begin with.
Anyway, my question is, do I need to worry for them and try to find some technical help or are they safe?
I'm such a newbie with technical difficulties... please bear with me.
Even when I'm not that interested in bears...
You know, there're many synnonyms for bear in Finnish, I suppose it was about some belief about calling it by its name, bear...

The Dreamcast especially the PAL version is so delicate that you could sneeze and it'll be busted, both the console and the cases. It is one console that you have to treat it like a baby.
As for your problem, it could either be that your disc needs a clean. Clean it with a slightly damp cloth should remove the fingermark. If it still has issues resetting then you would have to open your console up. I can't remember exactly but it involves the power supply on the console and its pins. Remove it and put it back in. Even someone who doesn't trust myself with electronics at all could do it.
It could be down to the game. Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi had dodgy print runs. I gave up getting Ferrari F355 Challenge to work on mine despite that I had about 4 copies that I tried.

Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it!
How lucky it's especially a PAL thing... One of those things I suppose.
That's good to hear, I was getting a bit worried here. I suppose as long as it doesn't involve anything more complicated than the power supply I should be fine. I suppose it seems like it's probably about the game(disc) but if that doesn't work I'll try and find a guide for that power supply fix. Thanks again! 😄
That sucks, especially when you've put in a lot of effort to accomplish something like that. 4 copies, jeez.
This makes me wonder how cool it would be to have some sort of Dreamcast collection for newer consoles, though at the very least some of the games are on Steam and there are the Gamecube etc. versions but then again my computer isn't really for gaming but well...
Yeah, the game cases are something else, like why they chose that kind of hard easy-to-crack plastic in the first case...

You know, one of the bigger things I've been thinking about lately about the cancellation of Archie Sonic.
There was this one large thing that was left all open without a conclusion.
...
What was going to happen in that last Off-Panel?
Or has someone told how it would've ended and I didn't know since I've been hanging on other fandoms with the little spare time I've got.

So, the effing Cyprus with sexism gets to finals but not freaking Darude!
I'm sad for the fact naked body sells over meaningful lyrcs, but well, they really like to look away anyway.
Â
Well, at least Iceland got finals...
-
Darude's 3rd in row for performing, comes pretty soon I assume.
-
Okay guys, this is the thing;
If you want to see Darude performing on Eurovision finals, today's the day to vote for him, since it's the semi finals and he's on the 1st one. Stuff starts in about less than 15 mins.
I dunno though how many in here are interested, but whatever. Yes, he's the one Finnish committee decided to ask to perform this year.
No, he isn't performing Sandstorm. His buddy sings about looking away instead.

And also, hi, I'm here again, it's been ages hasnt it?

You know what's fun;
This song reminds me a bit of Sonic CD's Japanese soundtrack.
It just sounds a bit similar. Not in a bad way, it's kind of curious.

Hi @Kiah !
Here's some pics, some are from this winter, some from last winter. I can try to find more of those I took last year but my archival system's a bit complicated so it might take a while... sorries. 😅
Anyway, here's some!
From last winter:
This is from a stream bench. Since it doesn't really get that frozen, the snow keeps "falling" on it like that.
This was my test how well the snow would support my weight on March. That old dog footprint on the corner can tell there's been few cold nights between that and my own footprints. It was kinda neat.
A somewhat close picture of few snowflakes. Few of them are actually captured pretty sharply...
-
More:
This one shows somewhat well how there was actually somewhat deep layer of snow around. Young trees look practically like branches stuck on the snow.
This picture is a bit older, I think there's something funny with the fact how large trees are all around the somewhat urban area...
And here's a cute bird, this time a Great tit from March.
It was singing pretty loudly.

Hi there man!
Yeah, too long I'd say, I'm not even too sure how long I can stick around this time either. 😅
It does when it snows. This December was a good one but sometimes the Christmas has been completely dark since no snow.
Tonight there was a thick snowing and people were still shooting the rockets...
So, more pics, these are from this winter actually.
And here's a cute little Christmas apple; male bullfinch!
The colours aren't the best but it's a male.
Gee, they're still shooting when it's past the time already, they should stop at 2AM...

Nice pictures! Thanks for sharing! We haven’t had any decent snow...yet. Wouldn’t expect anything else from this wacky Virginia weather here lol. When we do get some snow I’ll do the same and take some pictures 🙂

Well yeah, it's a shame, it feels like I'm ignoring my friends but life is like that sadly.
Well @Kiah the wackiness has grown pretty usual around here too. Last summer was way hotter than usual and spring in 2017 was all over the place, it was warm, then snowing, then warm, then cold... it's crazy.

The struggle is real trying to maintain life in general let alone with balancing friendships in the mix. It’s hard but it isn’t optional when you think about it.
It was literally 60 degrees Fahrenheit today. Customers coming in the store with shorts on had me both laughing and shaking my head. Â

Christmas went already, but still..
Hyvää (myöhäistä) joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta!

I now declare this bazaar open.
It's a fun little thing they show on TV every new year...

Hi to you too @Kiah ! Long time no see! 😂
Managed to squeeze some free time, kinda funny how I managed to post that ~1 min before midnight!
You know, it's snowing like no tomorrow and it's a bit too windy but they're still shooting the rockets like no tomorrow...
I hope my place won't burn down.
...
The snow pictures are coming btw.
I'll just do a bit tweaking after I get my social life sorted for this night. 😊

Guys; I might need to be out of here for some time, yet again. Too many exercises and all that jazz. I hope I can come back around Christmas at the very least.
So, well, do take care, I try not to get too crushed under everything.
Human pancakes aren't that tasty anyway or so I've heard. 😄
And the first song that came to my mind was;
Don't read too much into it though. 😉
