  1. Just got an OLED Switch. What kinda games should I get eh

      @Corby it's the newest model Nintendo Switch.

       

      As far as games. Breath of the Wild, of course! That way when BOTW2 is released, you know what's happening.

  2. It's weird that I sometimes consider the N64 to be a bit Retro.  Yet I still think Modern when I think of the PlayStation,  even though it came out first...Probably the cartridge thing.  Or the PlayStation's proper D-Pad placement.  I guess what I'm trying to say is...Hell, I don't know what I'm trying to say...

      It must be due to a personal generational link. I honestly feel like most people consider PS1,GC, and OG Xbox retro, so that's how I refer to them. Anything PS2 and up is not retro to me, although some under 30s individuals would disagree with me.

  3. No section for GameCube so I figured I would mention it here. PicoBoot GC is a new mod to auto run Swiss (or any other HB I think) at launch. It's pretty easy to install. The hardest part is potentially ruining the thermal pads, but new ones are cheap and should probably be replaced anyway.

      I found a video that was pretty clear. It looks like 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm depending on the chip.

       

      I know YT isn't popular around here but I found this one useful:

  4. I want to play a game. It’s called WTH is this? Going through cases of video game stuff, some

    of which I have…NO clue what it is. 
    Can you help?

      That is a remote sensor extension for set top boxes that control other devices. You set those sensors to point towards the IR reader on the other devices, like if you have a tivo-like device that changes tv options (power, sound, channel). The device would send a signal like it was a universal remote pointing at your TV.

  5. Currently in a "trade war" with someone who highly over values their end because it's available on ebay at a higher price than I am asking, but won't consider the fact that even though my end is listed as lower, it runs a higher value than theirs on ebay. Genius.

      Figured I should clarify that this was someone trying to trade me locally. I had posted my "new" Galaxy 3ds everywhere for sale and some dude tried to offer me stuff. Then when I said I wasn't interested he asked what I would be. So I told him an early model Switch and stated I would do a straight trade. He said his switch was worth more than that and pointed to a live listing that was currently a BIN of $300 for the console. So I shared a sold listing that had a price tag of about $350. He didn't seem to think that mattered since my listing was for $250. 

  6. Opened a couple 2600's to swap an A/V mod from a non working unit to a working one(hopefully...it'll be my first try at something like this, wish me luck...).

    Not joking-one of the boards smells like foot, really, really bad(not sure why I bothered to smell it...).

    Is that common, or was this one possibly stored in a fish market or something?

    1. Dopy25

      Dopy25

      I think they all smell like that. Usually worse when you put some alcohol on it. haha

      My bday was last month. My coworkers gave me a card that on the cover says:

       

      "Dear autocorrect, at no point in my life have I ever meant 'Ducking'"

       

      And on the inside says:

       

      "happy forging birthday and all that carp"

       

       

       

      I'm with you. I hate auto cucumber...

  8. Checking the mail is so stupid when you get no mail. Why can't they just put a slip of paper that says "You got no mail today." on it when they deliver it?

    1. Dopy25

      Dopy25

      If you sign up for "informed delivery" you can know there's no mail before there's no mail.

  9. My mother bought a new perfume. It sticks to clothes and smells like the devil's ass crack. I don't know the name of it but I want it filed under Crimes against Humanity for creating this monstrosity. 

     

    My clothes, my bedding, all ruined! it's still lingering in my room, faint traces of the demon from hell. 

     

    Jesus christ it stinks.

     

    here's a visual companion: 

     

  10. Gotta love it when you suggest using a search engine to someone who asks people for absolutely everything and what you get in return is a bunch of angry but not quite comprehensible words.

  11. So-the person on TV that tells you about the rain and stuff, that's a Meteorologist, right?

    Guess what someone who studies Meteors is called.

    Go ahead, guess...

    Yeah, they are Weatherologists.

    Go figure.

      Sounds like the person that made up those names was a proctologist.

  12. Spencer Elden, the baby in Nevermind's cover, just sued Nirvana for child abuse.

    1. Dopy25

      Dopy25

      Found multiple sources claiming he was never compensated. I think with Nevermind selling millions of copies, the roughly 1.5M he is asking is totally reasonable.

       

      I think the abuse part is intentionally over the top to grab attention, but I still think dude should still be compensated.

  14. Newest Member: "HS Comp Science Teacher." Wonder what that person does for a living.

    1. Dopy25

      Dopy25

      I imagine competitive science is just a fancy word for magic. So like Hogwarts or something but they're not allowed to use that name.

  15. I sent a well-packed and addressed TurboDuo to Colorado Springs for repair.  It went to Denver, Pittsburgh, and is now lingering in Massachusetts. WHY!?  USPS can sure give me anxiety.

      I had a delivery carrier decide they didn't want to deliver my package this past Saturday. It went out for delivery, then went back to the hub for "No Such Number". Thank glob it was still at the hub Monday when I was able to call. I had to go in to pick it up. Sure enough the label was 100% accurate, unit # and all. Carrier was just a dipshit. Not the first time. At least mine was worth less than $10. Sorry about your duo. I know you just got it. Hopefully all is well!

  16. Which classic 1 player game would you like to receive a multiplayer mode? I personally think some split screen Tomb Raider action would be fun/weird.

    1. Dopy25

      Legend of Zelda. The whole four swords or triforce heroes thing doesn't count. I really hope Nintendo figures out that co-op with Zelda would be spectacular.

  17. Who is the most iconic video game boss of all time?

    1. Dopy25

      Dopy25

      I wanted to argue this would be Gannon but I think you're right. Most iconic would imply most recognizable and I am sure more people would recognize Bowser due to the consistency between games where Gannon's form has considerable changed many times.
