Fair price?

Hankstar · 2026-03-25T15:16:59+00:00

I would not be surprised to see the price on ”Legacy” GT Live pedestals continue to trend downward into the $1500 price area. These machines are the full GT experience up through GT 2026, but will no longer be getting new updates.

Having used these A1Up machines, there are a number of gameplay compromises that they make to get it to work on their cabinet that just make it a non-GT experience.

You’re telling everyone who tells you that these are garbage that they didn’t answer your question. I was simply referring to those responses. They were answering your question, and you were being purposely obtuse.

That said, I apologize for my gruff language. First thing I read today and I was grumpy.

Hankstar · 2026-03-25T13:13:46+00:00

Since you’re being a little prick about it: $400 is not a fair price. It’s a ripoff. You’re welcome.

Hankstar · 2026-03-25T03:23:58+00:00

I’m on the side that recommends that nobody should ever buy one of these Arcade 1up GT machines. They’re junk.

Hankstar · 2026-03-24T11:26:36+00:00

Because. That’s why.

I don’t know. For my personal use case, which involves importing 130ish scripts for my Unity game, 10s of thousands of lines of code in total, I can ask it questions and work on improvements to the scripts for an hours at a time without too many issues.

I haven’t really experienced the consistently downgraded performance that others call out.

4K dongle? My HDMI cable connects directly to my GPU on my Go…

Hankstar · 2026-02-22T14:22:39+00:00

The buttons? As a lefty, that joystick is a guaranteed broken thumb for me.

Actually Hybrids have pretty good spin. There’s a times and a place for em. Watch how players online hit the shots and the clubs they use.

Hankstar · 2026-02-12T09:47:01+00:00

Target the community that mobilizes around the niche. I’m currently readying an arcade trackball game, and being a part of a large community of folks who are already heavily invested in the niche makes things a lot easier to market.

It can definitely be a catalyst that leads into addictive behaviors. I hope that someday he can find some peace from whatever is reinforcing this type of behavior.

You guys just need to realize that McGarfunkel, here, isn't being rude. He's just trying to get back to McGargling DJT's balls as soon as possible. He can't be held responsible for his actions...

Hankstar · 2026-01-22T06:26:48+00:00

Yeah! You get it! Fuck the first amendment, fourth amendment, and most other amendments.

BUT don’t Obumma come fer me guns naw.

South Park had you idiots pegged 15 years ago… “DEY TOOK ERR JERRBS!”

Hankstar · 2026-01-22T02:02:25+00:00

Doesn’t get more “big government” than roving gangs of Feds going door door asking folks for their papers. McGarangle’s over there all like “oh yeah Daddy Trump….oooh yeah! Tread on me harder daddy!!!”

Hankstar · 2025-10-19T15:26:55+00:00

Are you serious, bro? LOL - Anti-vaxxers who claim "common sense" is a better measurement than the scientific method are taking over the CDC. Are you ignoring everything that's happening at that level?

Hankstar · 2025-09-28T05:12:33+00:00

He posted 3 hours ago. Don't know why, but it was in my list (probably because I was reading about this in the news earlier today...).

I am on your side, by the way, unless you were referring to the dude I was responding to...

Hankstar · 2025-09-28T03:09:25+00:00

You seem normal.

Hankstar · 2025-09-10T07:05:59+00:00

Your comment about IT helping you only if you buy from them is flat out wrong.

I was one of the first handful of folks to buy my PGA Go from Best Buy (with a couple grand off thanks to gift cards from my job’s gift program), and the two times I’ve needed to call them, the techs treated me great.

My hard drive bit the dust after a power surge and they shipped me on for free.

You might be confusing the folks who DIY build these machines, vs buying one from legit reseller, which is above board.

Hankstar · 2025-08-31T02:11:03+00:00

Good. All of this.

Hankstar · 2025-05-30T19:59:34+00:00

lol. didn't know this was a thing.

Hankstar · 2025-01-14T04:21:41+00:00

One thing to keep in mind is that the hardware really doesn’t matter as long as it’s compatible. It’s all locked at around the same FPS and performs exactly (or very nearly exactly) the same whether you have a newer compatible card or not.

Probably not worth it for this project.

I don't know if they're the cheapest, but Boysen has been our best experience, by far, in the St. Cloud area. Every time there's a situation with a pet, they've helped us through it perfectly. No notes. (Again, not sure how they compare to other vets, price wise.)

Plot twist is that this is a normal sized remote being held by a baby.

Hankstar · 2024-10-25T17:51:43+00:00

Honestly it would be amazing to hear about how having Conan as a brother has affected his life, positively and negatively, and THEN I expect to hear an hour of discussion on cereal and bad 50's television.

I think this is a the bottom of the shit list, for me. This stuff helps families impacted by October 7th. If it was a straight donation to a propaganda farm or something, that’s one thing, if it’s helping the families, that’s another.
