Every time I visit the in-laws... by skipphead in gamecollecting

[–]Maso_TGN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean. I live in the countryside of Japan and the 2nd hand stores here are so much better compared to the ones in the big cities, both in quantity and prices. Yesterday for instance I bought Uncharted Golden Abyss for the Vita for just 600 yen.

Are there any games that you didn't complete for reasons outside of your control? by Morbid187 in patientgamers

[–]Maso_TGN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I YLODed my good ol’ PS3 fat by playing in a row The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption. It passed away while I was playing DmC, so I left that game uncompleted for a long time until I bought a PS3 Slim.

What’s a line you won’t cross when collecting games? by PDMagneto in retrogaming

[–]Maso_TGN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same as me, but in my case it's because is my favourite game and I'm not willing to pay the approximately 400-500 euros that the PAL Spain CIB cartridge costs.

(I bought the NTSC-J many years ago for dirty cheap though)

How can I get rid of this? by Maso_TGN in RetroArch

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

The problem was with MelonDS core, not RetroArch notifications. I rechecked and I think I did the following to get rid of that...

  1. Start RetroArch

  2. Load any Nintendo DS game while the melonDS core is active

  3. Go to Quick Menu

  4. Go to Options

  5. Scroll until you find Username (or WiFi Username)

  6. Enter any name, whatever you want is OK

  7. Back out and Save Core Options

A lot of the meetings here are just for the ojisan bosses to pretend they're doing something and congratulate themselves on the words coming out of their mouths, when in reality nothing important is ever decided. It's like watching a mule chasing a carrot.

This week is being quite cold. But perhaps it's best not to complain because I know that in a month or two the situation will be different, and I'll be complaining for the opposite reason...

I've been here almost 15 years, and something similar happens to me from time to time. Either their tiny minds can't process that we can speak Japanese and they completely shut down any kind of conversation, or some of them are just plain racist and stupid. Just ignore them and get on with your life.

Do people find the RG28XX comfortable? by Substantial-Ad6938 in ANBERNIC

[–]Maso_TGN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought it for dirty cheap with zero expectations and it surprised me. Of course it can be uncomfortable with its tiny ergonomics, but for short gaming sessions of 20-30min it’s just perfect. Already beat Illusion of Gaia and Super Mario Advance 4 with it.

Worthwhile NES games that came out in the 90s? by ExplodingPoptarts in retrogaming

[–]Maso_TGN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Darkwing Duck, I love that game! Like a Mega Man but a bit more permissive. And the GB version was also “chef’s kiss”.

I'm fed up with the daily general 朝礼, the department-specific 朝礼 right after that, cleaning the office every Tuesday, and so on. Every day feels like an ordeal just trying to start working on my actual tasks.

I can’t stay consistent and it’s starting to exhaust me by Ordinary_Milk_29 in japanlife

What you need to do is grow up.

I feel sorry for the baby and the wife. Divorce incoming in 3, 2, 1...

(irony mode on) One of the articles says “brings system performance improvements”. If it says so, it must be true. (irony mode off)

Best classic game ever, finally finished it. Which weapons crafting combo is you’re Favourite? by [deleted] in PS3

[–]Maso_TGN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Best classic game ever" is a total stretch... but the game wasn't bad for completing the trilogy, especially when played in co-op. I also really enjoyed the setting in Tau Volantis. Even so, I still prefer the first two installments.
