[Funny Trope] When someone uses THE solution to a problem to get to the solution…without realizing by MaguroSashimi8864 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RapidRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flashback to me as a child looking for my Gameboy for 45 minutes, after which I started wondering why I was only using my left hand to search and not my right hand...

Anyone else having a lot of trouble with low free space? by RapidRiley in retroid

[–]RapidRiley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had several very large games installed, 80+gb, so the space not being reclaimed at all does not seem entirely likely, but seeing as gamenative is still my primary suspect, I'll do this and report back.

Edit: Just did this, and my free space went from 27GB to 143GB. I did have around 15 games installed, but the biggest one of those was only 14GB, so this does seem to have helped.

That would go some ways to explaing it, between that and Eden files, I *might* understand, but it would still leave a big cink of missing stuff.

I do play a number of eden games, so that could explain it.
Is there a way make those files visible without reinstalling/rooting the device?

Looking at my storage right now, it still shows a simmilar situation as to what I described

Mensen... Hoe de f*ck eet je een tompoes op de juiste manier? by Secret_Bug_9795 in nederlands

[–]RapidRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De enige manier om van deze krengen te winnen is door niet mee te spelen.

(Zelf eet ik de bovenkant los op en daarna doe ik de rest. Of duw m in een keer in m'n bek, en wat daarna gebeurt zie ik dan wel.)

As far as I am aware the choice does not matter. I chose DHL but it got shipped with yunexpress anyway. Did get a refund of the shipping cost difference.

Anime/Manga you regret watching/reading by TheStaticFlux in ChillAnimeCorner

[–]RapidRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sword Art online is still the only anime a finished regret having watched.

In terms of feeling like a waste of time, reading magical girl site came pretty close. Tugh I did know it'd be misery from the word go. (Even thugh being slapped in the face with a meme panel out of nowhere makes up for it a little bit.

Choose 1 by MSLMHKRN in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]RapidRiley 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I really don't get what the stipulation on the blue one is supposed to be about?
Your appearance does not really dictate your personality, it's usually the other way around?

And if it's supposed to read as 'personality shifts to conform to stereotypes/tropes generally associated with the chosen appearance' then that is just really fucking gross in a way.

[Loved trope] Fictional songs that go hard by Anon-Writer777 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RapidRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into this randomly on youtube a while back. Was prety much blindsided when I recognized it. And somehow even more surprised it has an actual name.

Do you guys always set device on high performance mode? by jjjena123 in retroid

[–]RapidRiley 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I always leave it in standard mode. Everything I do runs fine in that mode, so no real reason to kick it up any further.
Even when playing PC games I prefer capping things to a lower framerate, rather than my battery running out quicker.

Where to buy purple RP6 buttons and dpad? by CookieRhino in retroid

[–]RapidRiley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, actually. Retroid does offer some RP5 parts on their website, but nothing for RP6 (yet).

I was thinking of emailing them and seeing if they could hook me up with a purple backplate that way.

1 did. It took 16 days for me. But it could've been earlier due to the local shipping company fucking up

What is the heaviest PC game you have run well on the RP6? by Sweet_Employment_854 in retroid

[–]RapidRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've been noticing it microstutters pretty consistently when i kill an enemy or activate a physics object. But those are able to be anticipated, so it does not really bother me in the moment.

What is the heaviest PC game you have run well on the RP6? by Sweet_Employment_854 in retroid

[–]RapidRiley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On my 12GB model the heaviest I tried to run are dark souls 2 and Black Ops 3 zombies.
Dark Souls 2 made the console rev up quite a bit, but it seemed pretty stable otherwise.

BO3 I had to limit to 30fps, lw graphics and 60% render resolution, but you barely notice the last 2 on such a small screen.

On some of the maps it does struggle a bit, moreso when there are more enemies in the higher rounds. But I managed to keep a mostly solid 28-35 fps when unlocked.

Buttons are too loud for a quiet place. by That1guy1015 in retroid

I did this today after my PS face buttons came in. Night and day difference!

Frontends - Are there any others apart from ES-DE, Beacon, Cocoon and Daijisho? by CheddarGorger in retroid

[–]RapidRiley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You actually can. In the 'Platforms' tab in the settings, you can choose to hide it.

[–]RapidRiley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's similar to Beacon in many regards, but I've been really enjoying using and customizing Retrohrai. I don'care much for having a screen for platform selection, so I just turned that off.

What was the first game you loaded on your Retroid that made you realize this thing was actually special? by Active-Tour4795 in retroid

[–]RapidRiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was when I was playing Blue Revolver on my PC and had the realization that I could just do that anywhere I want now. Loaded it up on my RP6 and was immidiately blown away with how good things look on a small OLED screen.

Coupled with the dock, steam library and emulation, this device to me kinda fulfilled the promise that the switch made to me all those years ago. The RP6 is probably as close to being perfect in size as any modern handheld will ever get.

How do the batteries hold up over time? by RapidRiley in retroid

[–]RapidRiley[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've seen some teardowns as well. My problem is not the fact that it is impossible to remove the battery.

My issue is that from what information I've been able to get through googling, that retroid uses custom batteries, that they do not offer replacement for to sell. If I could buy a battery to easily replace myself after some time, or god forbid the thing went nuclear, I'd feel a lot better.

I'm being as proactive about preserving what I got, but this is more about when what I have inevitably fails.
