– I haven’t played Rayman 1 in a long time
– my Rayman 1 disc is scratched to the point music skips and some levels don’t load properly
– What makes it worse is that the disc was in mint condition back when I first got it

– ugh, I was such a careless child back then.

--[edit]--
+ my Rayman 1 disc works just fine after I polished it with toothpaste!

I told you that toothpaste actually works. :P

I have a lot of scratched Saturn games that I got for free, I must polish those too.

It depends on the paste you use and the method you use to polish it though. Some pastes are very abrasive and make the problem a lot worse.

Ohh! I just used some (gritty) Sensodyne paste. I thought more grit would be better. Looks like I was wrong. smh

It's better if it has a lot of scratches, but then it's best to use a finer paste to try polish the majority of the light scratches the grit would have created. I used a lint free cloth for cleaning my classes while I polished the discs with the light stuff. It will take a while and in my experience I had to water down the light paste a lot and lean a little harder, though I strongly recommend against too much elbow grease if the paste is gritty.

Hey! At least you didn't try those ridiculous scratch cleaning methods where peanut butter or even a banana peel is used. Don't ask me why those methods exist. I have no clue.

+ I've had that TV on overnight and it's still working. It probably just works for me because I'm Steo and I'm great. :mrgreen:

I think there's still no proper LineageOS for my phone so I haven't even got to try it out.

+ Had a lot of fun last night drinking and playing older games.

- Hungover.

+/- I spent an hour pushing potatoes through a sieve to make mashed potatoes. It turned out pretty well though.
+ I’m so much more focused on my plans for today and I ended up getting much more done this day than I’ve had in a long time. I think in the end I really did need the Concerta after all. :hap:
