  2. fallout 4 update seems to have drastically reduced the draw distance on xbox series x,

      Oh wow it's out!? Very cool, but at the same time... that sucks. I'll check it out.

      could be because I don't have a 4k tv and maybeit doesn't actually leave performance mode,

      annoying as I turned off fps boost for the better draw distance, and personally I'd rather have draw distance than 60 fps or 4k

  3. A little something from Monsieur Bangalter:

  4. Job interview tonight. I haven't had to take a second job since 2020 (when I first started at the company I am at right now.) Will do this as long as I have to. Shouldn't be too bad considering it's not too intensive and I have plenty of free time to be able to take a second job

  5. Sometimes I wish I lived in a different country where they sell stronger over the counter drugs, without the need to see a doctor and get a prescription.

      not sure what country you live in but you can blame it on dumb****s who abuse medication. it's funny they'll tighten up regulations and make you jump through a million hoops but other objects that help facilitate death. not sure what those objects would be, you would have to use your imagination of course.

  6. Just got Mr. Run and Jump. It's lot of fun and a bit addictive. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out!

      Can concur. Even with save states, I've had fun with it. Just need to pick it back up someday.

      Thanks for your reply @r_chase! I'm glad you enjoyed it too. I really appreciate your positive feedback. :)

  7. Playing my VCS on live radio tomorrow night! What games/sounds shall I unleash this time around on the FM airwaves?! :rolling: Also getting HSW back on..

    1. PlaidMouse

      PlaidMouse

      That's awesome! Two of my favorite things together: Atari & radio! Since you are soliciting requests, here are my recommendations:

      1. Space Invaders (lots of recognizable sounds from that game).

      2. Secret Quest (if you have it; it's got a lot of fun background sounds)
      3. Dragon's Descent (fantastic homebrew by @Revontuli with lots of great music and sound, perfect for FM)
      4. Dig Dug (Taizo Hori's shoes make music when you walk. Should be a lot of fun for the radio!)
      5. Solaris (Lot's of trippy sounds in that game)

      What FM station will you be on and at what time? Would love to listen live. :D

      Edit: Just looked to the side and saw that you broadcast on KXSF 102.5FM and KPCR 101.9FM. I'll try to be more observant next time. ;)

      🎵Secret Quest and...Congo Bongo🎵. Repetitive thou not annoying. 😂

      You're preaching to the crowd dude. Your synopsis is shared by millions and millions. Suck it up, it isn't all about you. LOL J/K Hope you get over whatever hurtle in front of you. If it makes you feel any better, there are bigger hurtles you probably and hopefully won't ever have to jump, so there is that.

      Ahh... Stormtrooper dogs.  Can't see anything out of those helmets. Missing the fire hydrant too... what a world

  16. Got ‘Final Lap Twin’ for Turbogrfx HuCard to play on the Analogue Pocket! Nice!! Ordered ‘Afterburner 2  - PC Engine’ straightaway.

      You did if you were smart!  I have it on the Wii!  + also the update/remake of Alien Crush is on there...Yes those are Fantastic games (and JAKI CRUSH for Super Famicom is Legend as well!)...Highly recommended!

  17. Over the last few years, I've come to realize that I don't actually like JRPGs, despite some of my favorite games being in said genre.

    1. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      It's a reconsideration from "I like JRPGs...except for _____, ____, or games like _____," to "I really only like about 5 games in this whole genre"--turns out I've pretty much hated 99% of them the whole time.

    2. GoldLeader

      It makes sense...I just hadda try out some different emojis..

  18. Great article regarding former Metal Slug artist remembering how the Neo-Geo was so popular, that people would commit crimes just to have it. 😮

  20. Here's gameplay only of a game I thought would be perfect on the VCS: 80s Overdrive. Throwback arcade racing on a stock 8GB VCS in ChimeraOS.

      Don't have Jon swing by and say, "It's time for you to go on your diet."

  22. AEMT coding done (fixes/feature adds excepted).  Finally got my extra CXSTICKs ... so now onto building a "proper", custom, CX40-themed, "arcade" controller for THE400 Mini that'll be recognized AS a CXSTICK (since it'll be using the board from one).  Thinking transparent orange-illuminated button surrounds and black concave (HAPP or IL) buttons ... not sure on the stick part itself yet ...

      Was it really '87??   (I mean I saw the date there, but...)

       

      That used to be on I thought in the afternoons...Like Summer in the early 80's,  along with Tom & Jerry,  although it was probably just the earlier version.  In fact it had both versions of Woody Woodpecker too,  including the early one ('40s?) where he had the big orange legs...

  24. I've decided I just need to go for it. Started putting maximum effort into my PC repair business this weekend. If I don't force this to work I'll be stuck at Walmart the rest of my life. 🙄

      A guy around here works out of his home, advertises in classifieds, and yeah,  his name comes up in internet searches...I've had him fix hard drive issues, memory leaks, re-install Windows, put in new CD Drives, etc.  He is always cheap, always professional, and always busy as hell!  If you know your stuff,  it could be a really good gig for you.

  26. I'm in a Rodney Dangerfield mood today, RIP. Thought up more one liners he could use if he we're around today.  "My wife's cooking is so bad our kids go running around to the neighbors and beg for leftovers!"  "One time I had a piece of meat that I could't eat so I tossed it to the dog...he tossed it back!"   "Awhile back and I put my plate on the floor for the dog and he bit me!"

      was it the pump or something else?

      It's definitely the pump. New one came yesterday but someone shipped a 120 instead of a 240. New one should be here in the next couple hours. Then it's just reassembly.
