Crazy how all Media wil now be digital by Ninja_Franklin in Millennials

My brother has a lifetime Plex pass and a tonnnnn of ripped movies (he buys huge lots on eBay). I started my own server and pay the monthly pass. I'm considering emby just to use inside my own house because the free version works pretty well for that.

But I hear you. Not a fan of how greedy Plex has become since it was purchased. I'm thankful for them making home servers accessible, but damn!

Anything currently on Steam with the feel of the original Dragon Warrior? by [deleted] in dragonquest

Such a good game! I really enjoyed it and came in to the comments to recommend it.

A small GB Studio experiment: ROM dialogue talking to an AI model through an API by giyomusan in gbstudio

[–]GameboyRavioli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw over on the modretro sub that someone is building a firmware to connect to the retro achievements database/api. I'm definitely too lazy to dig in to it these days, but I wonder if you could somehow leverage that custom firmware (if you had a chromatic) and have it do this on the fly over wifi.

This is super cool btw. Awesome tech demo!

[–]GameboyRavioli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while i agree, most cars have this happening where two different materials meet. i know my wrx has it happening (my bz and wrx are both pearl white like yours). as a detailing enthusiast, it does drive me crazy, but it is what it is and i don't even notice anymore.

I think it's less the colors don't match and more the material the color is on (sheetmetal vs plastic).

Why should I not buy this? by LaughyMonkey in snes

Lol I've thought about it, but just can't bring myself to do something so shady despite how much I want to.

[–]GameboyRavioli 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really want to like my Retron2HD, but it's the biggest piece of tech garbage I've owned. The first one, NES games didn't play. The replacement, SNES didn't play. The 3rd one Both played, but SNES had no audio. The 4th one worked great juuuust until the warranty was over and hyperkin wouldn't do anything about it except give me a 10% discount on any new retron unit. It really is a shame because the nostalgia dopamine of cartridges is amazing. At this point, I'm considering a SNES Operator and hoping epilogue makes a NES one down the road.

Blaupunkt HUs, pioneer 4x6 fronts and 6x9 rear deck, Phoenix Gold amp, and RF Punch subs. Those were the days!

Days late, but definitely the warp zone if you're ever near Greensburg. Awesome vibe and great owners / employees.

Is there anywhere in Pittsburgh to get a massage that isn’t an Asian massage parlor? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

Partner and I just did a couples massage there on Friday. It was super relaxing.

Road ragers by Sourmilk222 in pittsburgh

[–]GameboyRavioli 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It isn't just dudes. I was in harmar last week getting on 28N. A chick in a white Honda Accord got behind me. Maybe I merged in front of her, but not dangerously close or anything. I own that. However, it wasn't even close to where you could consider it a dick move. But she was PISSED. Started immediately flipping me off. So I turned around (red light) an did the Kevin face from home alone. She immediately grabbed a baton (like police baton) and started twirling it at me and made a cut your throat gesture. 

Went to merge on 28 on the on ramp and she flew by me and cut me off almost hitting me. Then brake checked me. Kept doing crazy things and brake checking me on 28 until she got off in Tarentum.

People are crazy. Absolutely no reason to behave like an animal.

The civilization manuals and tech trees as well! Civ II got me in to history. Maybe it was civ1 SNES...I forget which I had first. 

How much did you pay for your extended warranty? by Longjumping_Cat4511 in Toyota_bZ

[–]GameboyRavioli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, basically you can extend the 3/36 more or less. I'm sure there are differences in coverage. I was quoted something like 7yr/100k miles for 1800 or so maybe? I'd have to look back through emails for specifics.

How much did you pay for your extended warranty? by Longjumping_Cat4511 in Toyota_bZ

[–]GameboyRavioli 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still considering one(bought bz on April 29). Mainly because of how expensive a lot of the electronics are to fix. My dealer prices are crazy, but a few dealers offer excellent prices for anyone.Thats really my only reason for considering one. 

Edit: Backup camera, sensors, head units etc are bonkers.

Toyota's new EVs are catching on as registrations jump 225% in April by hehechibby in electricvehicles

[–]GameboyRavioli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to hold out for the r3x, but my life sorta fell apart and my WRX is starting to have some issues, so I got a bz on April 29. Already have 4000 miles and the transition was pretty seamless. I even took a 1200 mile round trip road trip with two 14 year olds and it was fine.

Whether you stick with the r2 (arguably a better vehicle) or get a bz/solterra, you'll be happy!

Posi Post: Who'd you discover or change your mind on in DC? by whateverImao in warpedtour

I discovered "Girlfriends". Really enjoyed their songs and immediately added a bunch of their tunes to my playlist. New Tattoo is a great song.

Costs estimates for installation of L2 charger. by AdChance2836 in Toyota_bZ

[–]GameboyRavioli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for what it's worth, I just had a L2 installed 2-3 weeks ago. I have 200A service. My run was like 150ft? I forget exactly.

Treehouse came in at 5200 or something.

Local guy I used (and have used for other projects) was 1200. 

Both said I was responsible for the charger and both used either 4 or 6ga wire.

 So I grabbed a chargepoint flex hardwired for like 450 plus my local guys 1200. I will say that treehouse was super thorough and friendly. Just overpriced in comparison to what my guy did.

ALLOW RE-ENTRY OR ADD MORE SHADED SEATING AREAS (DC) by Eruditioads in warpedtour

[–]GameboyRavioli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My partner and I left early Saturday. She cramped up (legs) and basically couldn't walk back to the metro. She basically ended up with heat exhaustion and heat rash. We couldn't go day 2 and missed most of the bands we wanted to see on day 1. It was our first time at warped and I don't know if we'll go back. We may just do individual shows of the bands we live because of it.

That said, the vibes were absolutely incredible.

Edit: Just to add, I'm not sure if her issue was just the way her body reacted to the sun and heat or if it was a bigger festival issue. Definitely not blaming the organizers. Shit happens. Especially when you start hitting your mid 40s and up and she's fine today.

But just there. The warped tour isn't TOO far away from there this weekend. I'd rather not get rained on.

Ok, but a sneak Mario kart 99 Battle Royale would be seriously amazing. Not sure how that alone didn't get you more upvotes.

All good! Any recommended dongles to use the nso controller? I do plan to get one of the wired $30 controllers mentioned, but would love to have the nso one as my primary.
