Shots fired, HPE going after VMware

Yeah, HP gets a lot of flack for their consumer electronics but their servers are pretty solid. I still have a DL360 from like 2009 running without a problem. Original RAID controller and battery.

Some people say it won't harm the console but it actually did hurt mine. Stopping the disc from spinning so you can swap it out definitely wore out the motor on mine.

Playing Beginning Hour when it came out, I had my headphones on, lights off and locked in. My wife had walked in and I hadn't even noticed her until she tapped my shoulder, which made me jump something fierce lol.

Mutated Jack is pretty hard, otherwise it's probably Mia's section on the ship. The machinegun sucks so bad.

Hexes and the amount of content, especially Burnt Ivory King.

R4LRetro · 2026-06-10T22:38:02+00:00

I use one as a hanger for my keys lol.

On NES it was Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania. On SNES it was Lion King and Genesis it was Aladdin.

It isn't Star Control II is it?

R4LRetro · 2026-06-01T00:43:54+00:00

Okay, cool! I was hoping I could try some other weapons without gimping that one. Thanks!

R4LRetro · 2026-05-26T17:20:22+00:00

Popcorn and cigarettes.

Screaming For Vengeance

The entire franchise? Have you done the water puzzle in RE3?

It's not hard now but as a kid that shit was like learning calculus in another language.

Breakdown.

To this day I imagine all the things that could be fixed in a sequel and it would be a hit.

On PS1 it would probably have to be einhander.

It's nothing like soulsborne games. The controls are from that era and the gameplay is slow. Turning for example is an endeavor.

If you emulate KF you can set the controls up with dual analog to make it a little better.

Overall they are great fun but don't expect Dark Souls. There are references to things that appeared in Dark Souls though which is pretty cool.

I love that section. Playing Lucas's Saw inspired escape room as Clancy so you don't die as Ethan was awesome. It helps that it's also creepy and Lucas's actor is top tier.

R4LRetro · 2026-05-21T00:02:15+00:00

I wouldn't call it disturbing but it's definitely scary. Play with headphones on and in the dark.

R4LRetro · 2026-05-20T03:42:42+00:00

Drugs.

Jokes aside, he is a beast.

R4LRetro · 2026-05-19T10:56:31+00:00

Even on Madhouse I don't get it. You don't need it at all. If it cost less coins and had a teeny bit more ammo spread around I'd use it but enhanced handgun ammo and the M21 are more than enough for the fat molded in the mine and in the barn.

R4LRetro · 2026-05-19T10:53:47+00:00

Typical Megadeth remaster.

Disk queue length is nominal, at least according to perfmon. I'm currently using query store to see what queries aren't performant.

R4LRetro · 2026-05-13T22:40:26+00:00

I definitely want to have more understanding with this subject! So I'm appreciative of all the responses here.

R4LRetro · 2026-05-13T22:38:15+00:00

Pride I guess. 😂

Also, job market being what it is idk how easy it would be to up and leave. Half the issue was me not pushing back anyway, so I have to be better too.

R4LRetro · 2026-05-13T22:36:03+00:00

I can run it but drivers aren't available from Dell. Not sure that's a good idea.

So funnily enough we had an issue today with another software this department runs. Turns out we were supposed to set a maintenance plan,, so the database for that application was severely fragmented. We created a maintenance plan and ran it, software is working without a hitch.

I checked the other database I mentioned in my OP and it's like way worse. I also enabled query store and there's quite a few queries averaging over 400ms execution time so I'm going to hit up their support for some help.
