I've participated here before, but who says i can't double dip :^)

Recently I got a good handful of older games at the thrift store,
NFS:MW(PC), Battlefield Vietnam(PC), Counter Strike(xbox), Crimson Skies(xbox), Xiii(xbox), Namco Museum(xbox), Max Payne(PS2), Dead to Rights(gamecube), ATV Quad Power Racing 2(gamecube), Madagascar(gamecube), Battleship(Gameboy color), Tekken 3(ps1), Cars race-o-rama(ps3), Destiny 1(ps4)

sometimes i deliberately buy old shovelware because it's a fun novelty, don't @ me

as for hardware, the list is smaller, but not much less significant
A yeston RX 550, the one that's single slot and low profile.. and pink
A Gigabyte g1 gaming motherboard, that comes with an i5-4460
a 1tb crucial ssd
a 16gb kit of ram for my main pc, so i can max it out before i go ryzen
an extra 8gb stick of ram so i can have 16gb in my alt pc

Next month i'll get myself a sapphire pulse rx 580, literally just for the aesthetics and that "new graphics card unbox" feeling

These just came about 5 minutes ago. Hopefully Atelier game dialogue isn't changed in Europe. The right is a multilanguage Asian release of the Dusk trilogy (Japanese and English), it was about $150 CAD. Lulua was only about $30ish for the PAL copy. Couldn't find a US physical copy. Nelke was something like $40 CAD. So mostly cheaper than the eShop. Came in about 3 days, though I had to pay $40 for shipping and another $35 for duties.

I wish more games shipped with English translations. I know it's a port of older games, but if a game is digital only in the US I'd rather order the Japanese version and have English added through an update.

A heckin' 900 quid mattress (£800 after a voucher code). It was supposed to be the best one for back pain (I have, like, a normal amount of back pain, but my wife has like over the top crippling back pain, so hopefully this will help). Honestly so far it's amazing.

When it arrived it was smol

But after unpacking it soon became LORGE

Gadget wise, the last thing was probably the Thermal Grizzly kryonaut thermal paste I got for when I clean out my old PS4 Chonky Boi. It's been massively noisy ever since I bought it used, hopefully scraping out all the dust and re-pasting will help.

Won an auction for a first gen iPad Mini for $45. I introduced babber to Kid Pix deluxe on my iMac G3 the other day, and ever since she's been obsessed with coloring on phones and any screen she can find and stuff, so decided to find a cheapo tablet that I don't really care if she breaks/fucks up for coloring and learning and such.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
