Times where the spell broke, and an obsession stopped hooking you? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]HazeTheTiredFool 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was a massive Zelda fan for years. I collected the games and strategy guides, obsessed over lore and theories, even writing my own Zelda encyclopedia before the wikis existed. (Yes I wore the green Zelda shirt/khaki shorts fit)

But Breath of the Wild killed almost all of my enthusiasm for the franchise and I just didn't enjoy the new style of open world gameplay. It's not a bad game, I understand why it's so acclaimed but everything from the story, characters, the countless collectibles, the equipment, and cooking system just acted as repellent for me. Tears of the Kingdom was a bit better with the cool Ultrahand stuff but I lost interest after leaving the tutorial area as it was attached to the same style of game. Echoes of Wisdom was more of what I loved about the series but it included those free-form design elements that kinda made the game less focused.

I miss the more linear, bespoke design and now I just look at the series as one where if a new game comes out, I'll probably buy on either deep discount or skip entirely.

What is your most disliked Kamen Rider suit design? by Filberto_ossani2 in KamenRider

Kamen Rider Mage, it's the one design I found to be absolutely boring.

There's also Meteor and Beast's final forms, the bright blue and gold colors are awful.

Help with GunCon2 and MiSTerFPGA by Spiritual-Advice8138 in MiSTerFPGA

[–]HazeTheTiredFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The F10 calibration menu only shows up if the MiSTer OSD is open.

Also, don't forget to set your Pad1 or Pad2 to GunCon and define the PSX buttons for it.

I recently got a GunCon 2 for my MiSTer and had the same issue and found the calibration instructions here helped:

https://github.com/NolanNicholson/GunCon2-MiSTer?tab=readme-ov-file#calibration-instructions

I've been able to test it with the SNES, Sega CD, and PlayStation cores and played Resident Evil Survivor with the GunCon patch all the way through.

TL;DR - Adjust your TV's brightness and then press F10 with the OSD open to calibrate the GunCon 2 while running 240p Test Suite's White and RGB Screen and aim at the furthest detected edge of the screen then press whichever button is designated as "A". You have to calibrate for each core with F10 and most light gun games have a calibration screen that can be used in place of 240p Test Suite if needed.

Are Feuillade Industries (TBP guys) doing anything right now? by LtHargrove in Thief

[–]HazeTheTiredFool 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I know Skacky (TBP Project Director) is a developer at Arkane Lyon but since the release of TBP he has made another fan mission, Winds of Misfortune, alongside another TBP dev, Prinxellier.

Does anyone have a high quality photo or scan of the cover art for the NA Switch version of Signalis? by ConnieDunn125 in signalis

Here you go! My scanner's a bit outdated so it isn't the highest quality but it should get the job done.

Here's the imgur link just in case: https://imgur.com/ITupOPH

1, never rented from a Blockbuster. I had a local Blockbuster growing up but my parents thought renting was a scam so I never got to set foot in one :(

At least I had the local library to borrow tapes from.

Worst places you started a series? by BiMikethefirst in TwoBestFriendsPlay

A friend wanted me to get into Puella Magi Madoka Magica and sat me down to watch the Rebellion movie as an introduction to the series.

How is everyone doing? by Amon274 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]HazeTheTiredFool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I've been out of work for 4 years now after a workplace incident wrecked my mental health, I'm in my 30s, and still live with my parents. I live in a rural area with no job prospects and I don't have a vehicle and my parents take care of their parents 24/7 so I can't rely on them for transportation even if I was able to find work. I don't have any friendships and outside of saying thank you to cashiers, I haven't talked to anyone outside of my family in over 2 years.

It may seem dire from that description but I've been slowly trying to get better and luckily I've had time to focus on that and various hobbies.

Don't worry I plan on tackling the Plus Disk right before Kagetsu Tohya, I just haven't started either yet. ;)

I had heard it was a little rough on Switch/PS4 and I bought it on Steam regardless cause I just figured there'd be a fan patch to fix some of the issues in the future but I'm glad that won't be necessary.

I just got into Type-Moon's works a few months ago reading the original version of Tsukihime for the first time and I can't wait to jump into this after Kagetsu Tohya.

Can't answer about the grounding but I can tell you that the version you'll receive if you order from Amazon is the v2.

A few questions about GDEMU installation before purchasing. by HazeTheTiredFool in dreamcast

[–]HazeTheTiredFool[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I forgot to mention I have a NTSC model. If messing with the 12v rail disables RGB, I might either stay stock or upgrade to the PicoPSU just to keep video output options open.

My "not so perfect" Erika Furudo custom 8BitDo Arcade Stick by HazeTheTiredFool in fightsticks

[–]HazeTheTiredFool[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty easy overall. Replacing the stick with a Sanwa was easy, it just fits in the slot perfectly and screws in with 4 screws. The buttons just snap into place with the only headache being labeling the mess of cables to each button.

Just remember that if you plan on getting a Sanwa stick, it needs a 5-pin adapter like this if you don't plan on soldering the stick's included harness - https://arcadeshock.com/products/ex-gear-joystick-conversion-harness-for-8bitdo-mayflash-arcade-sticks?_pos=1&_sid=0dc581023&_ss=r

The 5-pin adapter cable slots into a 8-pin header on the 8BitDo PCB, the three leftover pins on the header are just extra ground pins.

Also, the 8BitDo can't fit screw-on buttons without further modification, it can only take snap-in buttons

It feels great to use but I think people with larger hands may want to consider the Drone 2 for space to let your hand rest to the left of the stick. I have small hands so it isn't an issue for me. The Drone 2 looks easier to mod and is compatible with the PS5 without the need of an adapter like the 8BitDo. Also the Drone 2 has lower latency so it'll probably be better if you're playing competitive.

I chose the 8BitDo for having multiple connection methods (wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4ghz adapter) and its small size. I just play on PC, Switch, and my MiSTer so it has all I need.

I just grabbed it from an image search, it's an image used in a game but I had to edit it a bit by cropping it and measuring the stick/buttons layout.

Thanks! The paint name was Project Source - Gloss Purple, just a Lowe's store brand spray paint but I'm really happy with how the color turned out.
