Has anybody ever tried to make a holy dynasty before?

Like, y'know, not murdering your children, being incestuous, or blackmailing the pope? Just being an actually faithful and honest line of rulers? How easy is it to hold a realm together without being a tyrant?

Are cracked solder joints worth fixing?

My 27" Quasar CRT has some issues with the image shaking up and down, and occasionally drawing only a thin line horizontally down the middle of the tube. These are apparently telltale signs of cracked solder joints. It can be fixed temporarily by hitting it, and then it's good until I turn it back on, but I feel like I'll eventually damage something with all the percussive maintenance lol. I don't know anything about soldering or electrics repair, so these are my options: 1, learn how to repair the TV as a complete noob; 2, buy a new TV (which is always hard nowadays); or 3, do nothing and keep using it. Are there any risks with option 3? It generally works fine besides the occasional shaking.

TL;DR: Should I learn how to repair the TV, buy a new one, or leave it as-is?

Thanks for any help!

PS2 originals or PS3 collections/remasters?

Do you guys prefer to buy original PS2 games or the PS3 equivalent? I'd rather play games like MGS3 or Shadow of the Colossus for the first time on PS2 but PS3 is so much more cost-efficient and generally just easier. Thoughts?

My PS2 collection ~1 year in

It's been growing at a snail's pace, I'm still pretty proud of it though.

No OG Xboxes in my area

Basically title, I can't find any original consoles in my area for less than like $200 lol, everybody seems to "know what they got".

What are some recommendations for securing an OG Xbox for less, around $75-$100? Do good deals still exist for these guys?

Thanks!
