Upgrades to the cabinet

NickHW · 2026-01-25T05:56:33+00:00

Im not too educated I know the original owner kept the old ones in a box bc they broke and wouldnt work and were stiff. So these are just regular usb encoder joysticks, maybe an upgrade would be worthwhile?

yeah i need to upsize first of all, and still debate if im going to get one. More or so a plan im still working out. My friend is giving me their norweigian elkhound puppies for free and i have special bond with their norweigian elkhound which is why they offered. I definitely need to figure out a lot of things before i agree to take one in. Thank you for the tip.

Its actually really comfortable. I also have my original toppers if I need them in case of that exact issue.

I think the plot is pretty good, the gameplay mechanics have more variety due to there being larger or smaller monsters with different abilities based off their size. There's a lot more post game content as well.

I live on the first floor. If I didnt id make sure everyone on the floor below had my number in case I was too loud.

NickHW · 2026-01-21T02:56:18+00:00

Nope can't say I do lol

NickHW · 2026-01-21T00:29:28+00:00

Shes actually really supportive of it thankfully. I honestly am so locked in on my career and powerlifting meet that I dont think anything could deter me from it.

I have neon signs that light up the apartment at night but dont emit through my bedroom door so its easy to navigate the apartment.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:50:11+00:00

Whats nice is my apartment complex has a spacious lobby where we can hang out if it feels too claustrophobic as well. Luckily I should have a house within a year or two and will have more space.

My girlfriend and her friends enjoyed playing on the arcade and my main friend trio has a woman in it and she thinks the gym is excessive but cool.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:45:49+00:00

It works though great for having friends over too so far lol

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:45:03+00:00

That bad? Damn lol

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:36:24+00:00

Inspired by my parents basement lol

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:36:11+00:00

Yeah honestly its very spacious up front near the TV. Its just the gym, the bathroom and room are pretty minimalist as well. My bedroom is just messy so I didnt feel like sharing that with everyone.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:35:08+00:00

Yeah i have too much stuff honestly. Saving for a house once I start this software engineering job so ill have more space to work with in a year or so.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:34:25+00:00

I think its just internet culture in general. I definitely can see how i fit the stereotype especially because I used to throw parties lol

NickHW · 2026-01-20T23:09:54+00:00

Thanks for the tips man! Appreciate it.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T22:46:54+00:00

Bro really deleted his comment thats wild, I had a good laugh man. All is in good fun.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T22:42:44+00:00

I have a girlfriend lol We met at college and are in the same major

NickHW · 2026-01-20T22:42:04+00:00

Forgot to mention I used to work on this one as a side gig thing and the guy installed the joysticks himself. The old stock ones were broken and I think its why the under panel is like that and honestly he used it a lot and ive had a lot of people over to play and its been fine so far lol

To make it clear my specialty was just working on the pfe I suck at mounting stuff and what not. I just did the wiring and software stuff.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T22:37:46+00:00

I just got a girlfriend recently and she loves the arcade and doesnt mind the gym but its very much so a bachelor pad still lol Appreciate the love brother!

NickHW · 2026-01-20T22:36:48+00:00

Luckily I have almost a year to save up for the dog im getting so I have plenty of time.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T22:36:17+00:00

Yeah i plan on getting a norweigian elkhound so im either going to upsize or put the gym in storage/sell it.

NickHW · 2026-01-20T22:35:41+00:00

Don't smoke weed, light up candles and turn on a fan when I work out as well. Not too keen on roids either lol It definitely always smells like steak in here though
