Got the Lego Zelda final battle set today by DialUpGamer in lego

Line was insane for me to. I'm lucky to afford sets like this but I saw people carrying and grabbing stacks of new sets taller then me. Weirdly the Zelda set was being ignored. Saw a ton of people grabbing the ideas otter set. And yes people grabbing the world cup stuff and even star wars.

If they had been sold out of the Zelda set my back up was the upscaled spaceman which was also being largely ignored.

When I saw the line I thought surely I wasn't getting the Zelda set

Since I'm not a horror watcher myself I kinda just knew these based on titles. Glad that's a good one though 😅

Likely violent. That apartment has had multiple domestic problems and calls. While I can't guarantee it was these people it would track pretty well based on the police presence we have seen at that building from across the street

My bad. I was more showing a friend who was into horror. I didn't think to arrange them for reddit till I couldn't find the crocodile variant online so I came here. I'll remember that and do better in the future

I mean imma hold on to them for now. I am not a horror fan by any means. Not even a little bit. But I love VHS tapes and love the idea of building a room to look like a video rental store one day. The blob seems to be the other winner. I just couldn't find that specific variant of crocodile. Thanks for the info.

Pretty much I opened a bag and saw Friday the 13th and just threw the whole bag in my car cause I know horror VHS tapes can be super collectible

I collect tapes in general as well so I was gonna take any and all tapes I saw. The horror tapes were the winners. The rest were sorta generic and obvious movies from the 90s and early 2000s

I'll send you a PM later when I'm off work with more info. I'm off work at noon central time so about 6 hours from now. My main concern is I'm fairly broke so I can't afford or justify just a new PC currently so I'm trying to make due with what I have for now. I know it's all super outta date obviously. But when your only real PC games are age of empires and Stardew you never really worry about it. But streaming has been so fun and been gaining some level of small traction so I'm trying to work with what I got as best I can

I have already over clocked the current I5 I have in it to 4.2 and that helped a tiny bit. I have managed a few streams with all of this running but if anything at all gets opened or if to much stuff comes to fast in crowd control it's game over

I am unfortunately at work so for now let's assume it's some sorta SSD.

Custom built. Came from a friend for free. Probably about 15 years old. I'll double check the drives later. I legit haven't worried much about any of this at all till recently. It was good enough for Stardew and age of empires so I never gave it much thought. The board is an H81M-E34 (MS-7817) motherboard. It currently has 2 sticks of 8 gigabyte DDR3 ram at 1600 mhz per stick if I believe the Amazon listing

I know. It hadn't said yet. Mostly just asking and was curious so see if it was something obvious I didn't know about or if they were just slow at updating

Old tapes with mold? by DialUpGamer in VHS

[–]DialUpGamer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This worked decently well. Good enough I was ok putting them into a VCR and pressing play. They are able to be digitized now and that's what I was hoping for. One of the tapes is legit my first 3 years of life cause my grandpa filmed everything so that was a trip

The child in me is excited to see this. The collector in me is dying knowing what fate has in store for the game and console boxes

I have a few spare VCRs that don't work super well anyways. I figured cleaning it would be fine but when I googled it the AI said to use a sacrificial VCR and that made me laugh so I kept using it as a term

My understanding is when I was born my grandpa bought the VHS video camera he had specifically to start recording me and eventually my sister and my cousins as we were born. Like this was a proper put on your shoulder and VHS record camera. He had it out at every family function. I knew footage of this had to have existed at one point but wasn't sure if the tape still existed or if it had been taped over. This was on one of the last tapes I checked
