    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'How Long Do CD-R Last as Archive Medium? (small analysis of one case)'

    People just assume that CDs = Old and equate "Old" with "Bad" or "obsolete," and typically only end up selling or donating them because they would feel bad throwing them out. Though, that happens more often than I'd like. They're probably not as stable, but I'm typically using them for the...

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'How Long Do CD-R Last as Archive Medium? (small analysis of one case)'

    There's a reason why I still buy up any CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs at every thrift store and yard sale I find. I've gotten spindles of 80+ discs for as cheap as $0.50 USD, and they work fantastically for burned copies of games for any disc-based console, but I always keep the RWs for data...

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'My consoles'

    Three years later and still no pictures.. What a fool I am. Most of my stuff ended up stashed away in boxes in the garage during a move this March/April, and it's all pretty much hidden from me as my roommates reorganize the garage on a bi-weekly basis. It's still in there, as I'm slowly...

    Wow, I can't blame you, lmao. Some of these consoles just absolutely refuse to mod properly.

    The Most Stubborn Xbox

    Some time in early 2022, I bought an original Xbox from a local shop dirt cheap, untested. Not only did it work, but so did the DVD drive. "Great," I thought, "this will be my new daily console!" As time went on, and I got into the Insignia beta, I grew concerned for the 20-ish year old optical...

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'reasons why someone might write code in java'

    OR because they need to integrate it with some legacy bullshit that only works with Java. Like Minecraft!

    STRAY'S QUEST FOR HER ARONI [PART 2]

    In the beginning, there was pasta If you've read the previous entry of this series, you'll know what the basic idea here is. If you didn't, and you don't want to, basically I'm making macaroni and cheese recipes until I find my signature one. Last time we tried topping some boxed aroni with...

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'STRAY'S QUEST FOR HER ARONI [PART 1]'

    @UncleJay Huh... Big mac-- WAIT A MINUTE That is interesting, though. I always wondered where that originated and why. Oh, that's actually not a bad idea. I'm working on my recipe for the next blog entry now, and it might work out with what I've got in mind.

    STRAY'S QUEST FOR HER ARONI [PART 1]

    The Introducteroni An inside joke with my friends and I is that I occasionally drop "aroni", or "eroni" as a suffix into words with a similar vowel. For example, the, uh.. header up there. It's become so ubiquitous with me, that my friend TJ and I wrote a song about it, which you can listen to...

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'Why playing Pokemon is way better sped up'

    Huh, I'll have to try this. I played through most of the Pokemon games when I was younger, but haven't revisited anything before gen 5 in a few years just because of how sluggish the pace is, but I've been getting pretty nostalgic for gen 2..

    What kind of battery did you use to replace the one in there? Normally they have LiPo batteries, but those are always bound to bulge eventually.

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'Stray's gamer AMA'

    @banjo2 Not yet. I usually play with a pro controller, and I haven't used my joy-cons since my left one broke (can't afford to replace it right now), and the last time they had drift, I just sent them into Nintendo for repairs. When I replace the leftie, I'm gonna do it as soon as they start...

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'Stray's gamer AMA'

    @ChicoPancho I like the Switch, although I do think it has some flaws. Its presentation is bland, joy-con drift stops me from really endorsing the console. It does have some of my favorite games of all time, though. And as of Sonic, I have a lot of good memories of playing the games, but...

    Comment by 'StrayGuitarist' in 'Stray's gamer AMA'

    @Sophie-bear I'd have to say, through a lot of debate, it's the original Xbox with the N64 and Wii literally just a millimeter behind. It was a huge staple of my childhood, both messing around after school on my own with JSRF, Path of Neo, and Colin McRae Rally 04, and hanging out on weekends...
