Video Games

Yeah I tried to beat this on SNES classic, with a constraint of Iā€™ll just use save states once per level. Still hard as shit, but gave the game the big middle finger when they dropped that.

Itā€™s annoying but imagine how much more it sucked in 1991. The tools and resources we have now are amazing compared to then when everyone was essentially running blind. This guy is a top player of this game and held the WR for a moment, but what heā€™s doing in this video wasnā€™t a thing you could do then.

thereā€™s so many games now you can play for fun guys

  • I donā€™t know, I think it might just be the stuff like the dam that was being powered from the main power source
  • The flickering is from the ship moving away from the supernova when it starts detecting it. Thereā€™s some stuff about it in one of the rooms. Thatā€™s what causes the stress on the ship and breaks the dam. The ship itself doesnā€™t get destroyed by the supernova, you just get pulled back by the twin project.
  • Yeah, itā€™s not a grand thing like the base game. The space station itself was so impressive + the mirror world that I can forgive any lack of grandeur on the ending.

Outer Wilds probably the number one game I am savoring to play, it was supposed to release for the Switch but got delayed and now Iā€™m not sure if it will ever exist or be playable on it. If not Iā€™ll just grab it on PS5 one day.

I guess I should have done a google image search.

Isnā€™t that Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis?

Welp, think the motherboard (or part of the motherboard) on my desktop (read: gaming) PC died today. Computer turns on, monitor turns on, but no HDMI signal. Tried a different cable, monitor, and video card. Nothing worked.

Itā€™s pretty old at this point (7+ years), so itā€™s not worth it to get a new one with similarly old CPU, GPU, and memory connected to it. So for now, looks like Iā€™m going to Frankenstein something from this one and a 6-year old PC that we donā€™t use anymore. Fun times.

Hopefully those ā€œbudgetā€ video cards that are supposedly being released in a couple weeks will be available and I can build something new. Iā€™m sure the assholes will buy them up within seconds.

Iā€™d try to get to the boot menu and see if you now have the same issue I do, wonā€™t display anything without seeing the boot menu first. (I had to swap out hard drives for the operating system a week ago (and also a ram stick failed, took me all day to figure out it was two things going bad)) Takes several tries for me to get that menu atm.

At least itā€™d make ME feel better if this was all from some dumb windows update anyway.

Pretty insane acquisitionā€¦
