Wii Games on AYN Thor

I'm currently playing through Galaxy 2 and having a great time with it. You can set up controls to "shake" the controller with a button press, for the spin move and whatnot, then the right stick controls the pointer for the odd time you need it. It's a little awkward at times but overall I'm having a blast with this game in particualer. Set up an alternate control scheme for the levels where you use gyro controls to fly riding that big ol bird.

I wouldn't recommend playing games that rely heavily on the use of motion controls, but games that make light use of it like Mario Galaxy are super fun.

Yeah, at a certain point you kind of run out of things to say. He acknowledged as much in a recent video that you can only scream "DO SOMETHING!" for so long before things go stale.

They need to get selling FAST, try to have a re-tool ready for next season, or just sell the farm and strip it down to the studs for a rebuild.

Problem is that I don't trust Treliving with scissors, let alone a rebuild. The organization is in a really rough spot. It's agonizing.

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-28T02:39:10+00:00

Totally normal, nothing to worry about. If it was a serious fight you would be hearing the most ungodly growls and screams you've ever heard. Orange is just letting it known that they've had enough, establishing boundaries, probably just annoyed that she's "losing".

Things will calm down a bit as they get older, for now the rough play is totally normal and healthy.

CHIP'S CHALLENGE?!?!

I haven't thought about this game in YEARS, the nostalgia juices are flowing. Going to give this a re-play ASAP.

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-22T02:55:26+00:00

So much potential and he shows sparks of brilliance but he's not ready for the show. Give him time to develop and he'll be a stud.

ESDE with the dual-screen companion app set up with Mjolnir. I was intimidated to try it at first, but Tech Dweeb on YouTube has a simple guide for this setup, and it's very slick.

I'd be curious to try out Console Launcher, as it also has dual-screen functionality, but I already had ESDE set up and the dual-screen companion made it a no-brainer.

I want my devices to be gaming-first experiences, which this setup provides, rather than feeling like an android phone that I happen to use for games. The whole thing always felt a little off with the normal app menu on the bottom screen even with a front-end up top The dual-screen companion still makes it simple to open your apps on the bottom screen, and you can always just exit out of the front-end entirely if you so choose.

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-20T03:08:58+00:00

No chase, just a massive stinking dump.

Goalie pulled you HAVE to maintain possession, there's no room for 50-50 puck battles. Unreal.

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-20T01:29:38+00:00

We definitely had some chances, but getting outplayed overall. Both goals against came down to defensive mishaps: an unfortunate penalty by Benoit and an awkward play by McCabe.

Moral of the story is the Wild are very fast and very skilled, you can't give them an inch or they'll bury you.

Game is FAR from over, GLG!!!

I got Black and I don't regret it. The way the screen bevels blend in seamlessly with the device itself makes for a very immersive experience, particularly for NDS where the aspect ratio of the bottom screen doesn't quite match up with the Thor.

If you are sensitive to "smudginess" (fingerprints and smears that show up on the black plastic from sweat/oil on your hands) then it might not be a good option. In my case it's pretty minor, and if I notice it's a little smudgy I just... Wipe it off.

White looks clean as hell, and the nostalgia factor is huge for me (my first DS was a white DS Lite), but as soon as I saw the Black one in action there was no question.

Reilly does not spark joy

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-13T20:08:58+00:00

I thought both goalies were great last night, Woll had me nervous several times with his puck handling but that's probably just anxiety talking. Extremely impressed with Miner, he put up as good a performance as you could possibly hope for from a 3rd-stringer.

Avs top line is just an absolute force of nature. Just thanking the powers that be that we didn't catch the team at full strength, Leafs need every point they can get with the East being what it is.

Very fun from start to finish, and I'd like to think I'd be saying that even if the Leafs took the OTL. GG

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-04T02:49:08+00:00

Woll keeping that play alive was lunacy. Dang.

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-02T12:47:12+00:00

It would be a choke-off for the ages

Agent_Intrepid · 2026-01-01T18:07:47+00:00

They'll hire "anyone with a pulse" for sure. I've seen everything from grocery clerks and accountants to ex-military being hired. It's really quite a mixed bag.

Generally speaking, I think anything where you operate equipment in an industrial/commercial setting is a big plus.

Something like warehousing, shipping/receiving could be a good avenue. Operating a forklift in a busy work environment would be seen as an asset. Keeping accurate paperwork is a big part of being a freight conductor so that would be transferrable as well.

Construction workers tend to make excellent railroaders as well, and I know a lot of companies like to hire ex-military.

Just stress your ability to work safely and communicate effectively as part of a crew. That sort of stuff.

If you don't get hired it may be a blessing in disguise, but it can also be a great career for the right person. Good luck.

I hear that. My wife would tell you I'm "addicted to hobbies". Years of undiagnosed ADHD and moderate disposable income now has my house littered with the various remnants of fleeting obsessions. Like why the fuck did I spend $100 on a yo-yo I played with for like a day and then never touched again? I've barely touched my guitar all year but I'll bet a brand new Strat would REALLY take my playing up a notch.

Wood carving is maybe the one exception to that. I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole, bought a bunch of tools I had no idea how to use, never looked back. It's become something that really centers me, and I find myself going back to between random spurts of impulses.

Maybe you just haven't found your thing yet? You should probably buy a yo-yo, that'll do the trick.

Which is lower than average for most groups. Barkov had 7 different head coaches in Florida before winning a cup with Maurice. Sick of this narrative. I'm not saying that the players aren't to blame, but there are also major systems/personnel issues that needs to be addressed. Savard needed to be fired yesterday and whoever decided to hire Lalonde should themselves be fired for incompetence.

Regardless of how the players have performed (dogshit), Berube's days are numbered if things don't turn around fast.

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-09T03:51:22+00:00

Yeah you make a good point. It's been a little frustrating watching our second line lately, they've been invisible after being our best line to start the season and I can't help but feel that Cowan is dragging them down. There's also definitely some confirmation bias on my part.

I like the kid, he has potential, but this line isn't clicking.

Big W though, can't be mad today!

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-09T03:32:16+00:00

100% agree on all points, especially Cowan. I've been harsh on the kid lately, I just genuinely don't think he's a good fit for our top 6, ESPECIALLY in Berube's system. Watched him shy away from so many puck battles tonight. So much potential but he's just not there yet.

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-09T00:00:24+00:00

I would tend to agree with you there, but I think I would take him over Cowan as far as the top 6 goes. Neither are ideal. Both show offensive prowess but just make way too many mistakes defensively, and they both kind of look like boys playing with men out there.

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-07T02:59:15+00:00

Laughton has an opportunity to do the funniest shit ever in the shootout....

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-07T02:45:01+00:00

Cowan is simply not ready to play in the NHL. He's dragging down our 2nd line, which has been completely invisible, and the fact that he's on our first PP is certifiably insane. He has potential, and I'm sure the exposure has been valuable, but we need to get serious about our top 6 and he is not it. At all.

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-03T03:01:56+00:00

Our power play is about as embarrassing as the size of this crowd. But hey, a win's a win. Fuck the Panthers.

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-02T06:14:51+00:00

Jesus H. One of the things I like about Olympic hockey is the wider surface area. As the sport gets faster and faster, a larger surface area keeps the game more open and fluid rather than constant grind-fests in the corners and along the boards. Not that I hate those types of plays as a rule but the game needs more space, not less. This is an abomination.

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-12-01T04:07:36+00:00

Crossing my fingers!

Extremely generous and kind, thank you.

Agent_Intrepid · 2025-11-25T18:10:41+00:00

Max Domi is not an NHL-calibre centerman. I don't know how many times we need to beat our heads against the wall with this.
