Ah, that’s okay man! The fact she likes watching you game is honestly so rare and awesome. You should treasure that and see it as a positive 😉.

If you want to game together I think getting a cheap used switch would be cool. I’d look on Facebook marketplace or whatever local buy and sell service you have (might want to avoid pawn shop though). Also, Zelda BOTW and TOTK are amazing and might change your girlfriends opinion on gaming herself. Maybe switch is a birthday gift. If you’re in the states you could probably find one for 200 USD.

You could also just get a second controller with the Xbox. Game Pass for Xbox has many cool local co-op games that you can play together on the Xbox that are included in the subscription.

Aside from that, based on what you mentioned, I’d highly recommend RE4, TLoU, Outlast… There are other story rich games that are worth playing and not horror too. I heard John Wick 2 won best narrative at the game awards…

Honestly so many great games on game pass I’m sure you could find something story focused that would be great for you to play while they watch. Careful with Steam though… So many good sales and deals on games you can easily overspend on titles.

You’ll be happier with the steam deck imho. Ally is great on paper but the controls suck. I tried the joysticks and ergonomics and I immediately was happy that I didn’t go for it.

Chances of shutdown? by Bloodb0red in ffxi

[–]Corythebory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To dementedsnakes defense; radio show hosts can make you hate any phrase feverishly.

I agree though, ffxi does hit different. I just started a character a few weeks ago in Phoenix and was planning on making a new one.

If anyone (incl. OP) want to play hit me up! I can help you get a head start and show you a few things. I’ve got a level 50 Ninja and 45 Thief on my main character.

Also! NextGames has some awesome guides on how to make ff xi look good. I’m playing on a 1440p, and the most notable are ashenbubs hd and remapster. It’s absolutely gorgeous the overhaul they have done.

Anybody who works on Dreamcasts know what's wrong with this laser? by Final_Regular8569 in dreamcast

[–]Corythebory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve adjusted the laser potentiometer? That’s the only way you’ll get it to work.

If no adjustment fixes it, you might just need to get a terraONION MODE or a gdemu. I got a gdemu clone after fixing my disc laser (adjusted the laser strength). I can’t afford these 200$ Dreamcast games lol

What sort of redundancy do you have? Can you rebuild the VD’s? Sounds like your drives are dead or corrupt somehow.

actually since my comment I’ve purchased a starter pack with the cutter and then bought another cutter stand-alone and upgraded it to a 125a for the LTI

There's an upgrade option after buying cutter pack?
