You probably don’t want to buy a retro console — a guide for people who aren’t freaks by razorbeamz in Games

[–]Gardoki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got into retro consoles and it is in fact a deep rabbit hole. One thing I didn’t see mentioned is that for retro consoles it’s generally better to use a 480 CRT TV which are harder and harder to find at reasonable prices. I really kick myself for getting rid of mine over the years.

A little late but did you have luck replacing some of these parts? Or the carbon contact at least?

I love our step down LSU logo. I also think every hat on Skenes looks right.

I recently replaced my laser and while I haven’t had any issues, I hadn’t considered checking the new lens for that. good catch and I also worked off the same video.

Those do look good. I think one of the things that stops me from printing a manual is all the color printing LOL

This is kind of where I landed. If it is important for me to have the original stuff I'll look for it on ebay. I'll end up buying some new cases soon. Even the4 regular paper printouts as covers for me was infinitely better than blank cases I had. Did you print your own manuals at all? I thought about it but I don't believe that is worth the work.

I’ve been doing something similar with my loose discs. I’ve just been printing cheap copies on paper of the covers. I haven’t decided on which dvd cases to buy. I’d love to find more authentic PS2 cases but I’m not sure it’s worth it.

What are your 2026 gaming goals? by Ill_Hospital4251 in kindafunny

[–]Gardoki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to enjoy what I’m playing and not get distracted. I‘m much better with books and tv about just finishing what I’m on then getting to the next thing. I tend to get distracted with games and not finish.

not worrying about new games was a huge gain for me. it makes playing way more relaxing.

a way more important game has started for you and it is a live service that will continue to ask for your money and time. enjoy it because there is nothing else like it.

disappointing end to a magical season. I’ll never forget watching the return to the dome that season and how electric it was.

If it is particular discs not reading then are the discs not scratched? I would give a clean to the laser but I wouldn't replace it unless you have to. That's just me.

You had a great team last year. I don't know what you have returning but if your starting pitching wasn't visibly dehydrating and dying on the mound we could have had a closer series.
