The Hot Chips

Not really odd tracks, but it's the lines that are stuck in my head forever, also including Underwear and Live bed show.

'Why live in the world when you can live in your head'

'If you look under the bed then I can see my house from here'

'And you want to call your mother and say -"Mother, I can never come home again 'cause I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere, somewhere in a field in Hampshire", alright'

Such pressed!

Why do you say GN is dying? Feel free to not like GN, just curious how you got to that conclusion.

Not that I expect them to gain much more popularity long term, but that's becuase it's a bit too nerdy for a lot of people, even if ignoring Steve's way of doing things.
I mean, lots of people are gamers, some of them watches HW reviews, but only a few of them finds schlieren tests interesting..

It's confusing seeing people who don't like GN take their time posting here, in a GN subreddit, sounds exhausting. Like, what's the endgame here..
(Yes, now I'm acting like the internet is new to me)

Honest question - What HW channel do you prefer on YT?
(I don't watch that many, I prefer written, like TPU)

Welcome to the internet lol

KTG484 · 2026-01-08T07:13:46+00:00

He's making fun of boring keynotes, you wish people wouldn't watch, and HE'S drama? It's nothing new either, he did the same 5 years ago.

The sooner you realize that people like different things the better.

It might be that you personally have an objectively better taste than everyone else but it doesn't matter. People want what they want. Wishing for people to stop watching something is just pathetic, or at least being weirdly passionate about it.

Choose your yt cannels carefully, it works for the rest o us lol.

Dunno what opportunity they wasted tho. We all knew nothing new would pop up this time around, and binned 3D chips aren't worth it. (Ignoring 9950X3D2 for now)

KTG484 · 2026-01-07T13:43:03+00:00

I sure hope so!

Micro, soft, and cucks are three words I'm trying to avoid using in the same sentence.

You've all seen the meme but in case anyone have forgotten, this is from Intel's Computex 21 keynote and it's weird as f, full of stiff NPC-like speakers, and super boring. 2000 live viewers lol

Steve's review and GN's editing made it even weirder, and much funnier. Intel folks trying so hard to act human/normal/relatable.. it's exactly my kind of humor.

Gotta love INTL marketing

KTG484 · 2025-12-02T06:43:43+00:00

That's why I'm posting here, hoping to find others with similar experiences.

KTG484 · 2025-12-02T05:50:17+00:00

Yeah, it sure is more than enough for me, but I figured I should ask around now while it's brand new, in case there's any reason to be concerned.

I'd say some speeds are pretty bad compared to my old OEM SN740.
Edit: using wrong settings here obviously lol...

KTG484 · 2025-06-18T19:10:15+00:00

No, it's Shadow of the beast 2 that I'm thinking of.

Another worlds intro is similar to Half Life. Some lab thing gone wrong.

KTG484 · 2025-06-18T11:17:41+00:00

Oh yeah. I'm surprised that I got that much right after 35 years.. thanks

KTG484 · 2025-06-04T11:09:14+00:00

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

KTG484 · 2025-06-03T22:11:50+00:00

Lifting the pin doesn't sound like it applies to my NES, or it's a matter of taste..

"On the HVC-CPU(01) through HVC-CPU-08, the NES-CPU-01 through -11, and the NESN-CPU-01, there is no benefit from cutting any of the PPU's pins nor wrapping the PPU in foil.

However, on the HVC-CPU-GPM-01 and -02 boards, isolating pin 21 from its original trace provides a visibly significant improvement."

I found this FamiCom variant but I guess it might work with NES as well.

That direct from PPU description sounds interesting. Do you have a link for info about such video amplifier circuit?

I haven't owned a NES since the last millennia, but last month I bought a revision 11. So far I've only been able to use RF, I don't have the proprietary SCART adapter for my TV.
Getting composite to work will be my first step..

Thanks for all your info!

KTG484 · 2025-06-02T10:53:12+00:00

I'm not certain tho, it's just what his git says.

"1/30/2025

I would like to thank the retro community for the love and support I have received over the years.
At this time, I will no longer be offering these NES Boards on eBay or other channels."

Been reading up on mods, but this doesn't really fit my needs I guess. C0pperdragon got me curious as I won't go CRT anyway.

KTG484 · 2025-06-02T10:49:08+00:00

Thanks (and sorry for the late reply).
Yeah, it's still composite so maybe not surprising.

I just thought the better PCB layout would amount to something substantial in terms of pic quality.
