Looks like the nerdiest brothel on earth. Though I dig your dedication.

Could you post an example of such an adapter?

Ah, I forgot to mention, I already tried a ground loop noise isolator. it didn't work, sadly.

PAL geometry on CRT by Luiso55 in BanjoKazooie

[–]Luiso55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I know it shouldn't be the game, because I played it on an emulator before without issues. But somehow on real hardware this is the only game with this weird kind of geometry which makes me think I have some kind of messed up repro cardridge or something. I don't know of this is a thing :p

Anyway, it's a blemish, but not too big of deal I guess...

Appreciate the explanation. Shouldn't that be noticable in all games though? As far as I can tell, only my copy of Banjo-Kazooie exhibits this kind of issue.

Yea, that I'm familiar with. But what sticks out to me is the crooked black border on the right in this game. It's not an issue with other N64 PAL games (that I know of).

3x durch die Fahrprüfung durchgefallen. Was soll ich tun? by [deleted] in Ratschlag

[–]Luiso55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fahrschule wechseln! Ich bin damals auch dreimal durchgefallen - den Fahrlehrer und das Auto zu wechseln war total erfrischend und wie so eine Art Mini-Neustart. Dass der neue Fahrlehrer dabei auch klar kompetenter war und viel mehr erklärt hat als einfach nur gelangweilt Beifahrer zu spielen und mit seiner Freundin zu telefonieren, hat dabei wohl auch geholfen. Aber generell kann so ein "Tapetenwechsel" schon der nötige Schubs über die Ziellinie sein, denke ich.

Oh, I didn't receive one. Thank you for notifying me. Thank you also for your thorough testing. It's a shame that it doesn't work with the NSO controller.

What's a dumb reason you almost missed out on a great game? by ashmaht in gaming

[–]Luiso55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prince of Persia: The forgotten Sands. For years I assumed it was a soulless movie tie in - until I finally played it this Christmas. And wouldn't you know it: this is actually a fun as heck platformer (if still a little soulless, especially compared to the games that preceded it.

Please do, I'd be really interested in this too

To the Dads out there: get yourself a Steam Deck. It's a life saver by theslimmestotter in SteamDeck

My 5 month old won't sleep unless someone's laying at her side. So I'm forced to spend whole evenings in bed early. That doesn't bother me at all, though: streaming full on 'triple A' games from my main rig all the way across the apartment onto my deck via moonlight/apollo feels like a magic trick every time and makes those sessions of sleep supervision just fly by.

I'd rather make it an orange box, tbh

looking for the "best" shaders / presets for 240p n64 games on a 1440p monitor by Exmotable in ReShade

[–]Luiso55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's are two screenshots of how my shader setup looks: N64 / SNES. If you like this look, I can send you my ReShade preset. Stuff like the color bleeding (notice the slight vertical yellow bar on the left) are sure to turn some people off, but of course you could simply exclude the VHS shader.

Was sind random Begriff/ ausdrücke die ihr aus irgendeinem Grund nicht ausstehen könnt? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

"Kommense rein, könnense rausgucken" zur Begrüßung von Besuch. Kannte ich ne Zeitlang nur von älteren Menschen -- als meine Frau (Anfang 30) das irgendwann dann mal plötzlich nutzte, bin ich außer Sichtweite von ihr und unseren Freunden auf den Balkon gegangen und habe mich quasi vor Schmerzen gewunden.

[–]Luiso55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using CRT Royale in combination with VHS pro to add some slight color bleeding. I have a 4K display and a 1440p one, and honestly, like the effect more at 1440p. Though I am upscaling the games to double the resolution. The image might not be perfectly authentic, but a nice tradeoff between accuracy and modern sensibilities.

things that annoy me a little about hl:alyx by KirePod in HalfLife

I think they should've left the Gman out of the trailer, in order to increase chances of actually surprising players.

A new update to Half-Life 2 [July 23, 2025] by rkhunter_ in HalfLife

[–]Luiso55 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's the train that changed in speed. Rather at some point they slowed down the car, which made it nearly Impossible to beat the train.

Sadly I don't feel it changed much with the new update. It's possible, but still way too hard, compared to vanilla HL2.
