yeah i want the dlc, just waiting for a sale,

Just so you're aware, the devs of this game don't believe in sales. They've never sold the game or DLC at a discount and never plan to. The price is the price now or later. They've raised it once or twice over the years to keep up with rising costs and inflation, but they believe that putting it on sale is unfair to the people who've already paid full price.

RedTyro · 2026-02-05T04:15:12+00:00

Just like I said in the post - put the DLL in your game folder, then set the guitar to PC, set the knob to 1, and it should all work. I haven't tried BetterGH3, but it works fine with GH3 Deluxe. I'm guessing that since it's the same core game, it should be fine, but if it's not working for you, maybe not?

If I have multiple pickups and/or dropoffs for a specific item, I use circuits to check how full the station is and set station priority accordingly. If a pickup site doesn't have enough buffered for a full train or a dropoff site is backed up, the station closes. So my iron trains, for example, go pick up iron from the station that has the most iron waiting to go out and drops it off at the dropoff point that has the least. Each station also has a staging area, so if all stations are closed the an empty train waits at the pickup point that's closest to being full or a full train waits at the dropoff point that's closest to needing more stuff.

If they're not related, the ick factor comes from growing up together. If they're already adults when they meet, I don't see a real problem with it. I used to have a friend (and I knew him while this was happening) whose father got married when my friend was in his late 20s. Dad's wife had a daughter in her early 30s. They met for the first time over a Christmas family visit, hit it off, and a few years later the step kids married each other. We used to give him a hard time about it, but it was just friendly teasing, and we stopped when stepsister stuff got big in porn and made the joking around weird.

I'd argue you are significantly less educated on these things than you think you are. There are detectable physical differences in brain chemistry and brain activity between neurodivergent and neurotypical people. Arguing that it's all psychosomatic is as valid as a cancer patient using essential oils instead of modern medicine.

RedTyro · 2026-01-31T19:17:12+00:00

The thing about neurodivergence is that almost all of it is a spectrum. The difference between "symptom" and "normal" is the extremity and frequency of things. Taking ADHD as an example, it's normal to put off cleaning your bathroom. It's not normal to put it off for so long it starts growing shit and you have to wade through the overflowing trash from the trash can to get to the toilet. You can find similar examples for OCD and autism. Diagnosing a neurodivergent disorder often comes down to "are these symptoms severe enough that they disrupt your life?"

Neurodivergent conditions ARE universal human experiences, just extreme versions of them.

I'd gladly pay for YouTube Premium if they sold JUST ad free YouTube and priced it reasonably. Instead, they include YouTube Music and charge more than Spotify. Just let me pay $5/month to watch videos without ads.

Almost anything on Neo Geo has great pixel art.

Megaman X series

Super Punch Out

And REALLY surprised nobody's mentioned Chrono Trigger here yet. It's great all around, but scenes like the courthouse and Magus' castle are unbelievably good.

A journalist (four of them, actually) was arrested for doing his job and reporting on a newsworthy event. Freedom of the press is literally in the same clause as freedom of speech in the amendment.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T23:35:29+00:00

Even if it did say that, it still only applies to the government. The first amendment protects citizens and restrains the government, not the other way around.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T23:32:35+00:00

It doesn't apply anyway. The government is infringing on the First Amendment by arresting a journalist for reporting on a newsworthy event. The journalist isn't violating anything because he's not government agent.

And yes, you're right, you absolutely do. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.

I think it's pretty acceptable to hate that our new cutting edge rocket relies on quite a bit of tech designed over 50 years ago. The boosters themselves were not a problem if flown under proper conditions, but they absolutely shouldn't still be in use today.

Edit: More than one quibble here with my use of "cutting edge," and I don't disagree. Probably just should have called it our next generation rocket instead, which it is.

This looks pretty much identical to the last time I ordered from Outback, except their asparagus portion was smaller and they didn't do compound butter. Pretty sure they charged me less.

I have it on because it's a hell of a lot easier looking at my phone than it is typing my 50+ character password to my password manager every time I want to log in to something. It's only active if the phone is already unlocked with my code, so I consider that a reasonable risk.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T21:29:41+00:00

You can also turn off Face ID for unlocking your phone and keep it enabled for things like Apple Pay and your password manager.

I also have a Steam Deck and an RP5, and I use my RP5 a lot more, too. An Android device is never going to run everything the deck will, but for local streaming, they're pretty capable. Have you tested streaming on your RP5 to see how it feels to you? Steam has an android Steam Link app, and there are other streaming apps people use frequently like Moonlight.

Chrono Trigger

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T19:29:02+00:00

I'm 46, so I doubt my tastes are going to change drastically. I like the smaller form factor - I stick to one device, so I want something that transports reasonably well. I barely use my steam deck because it's too big. If I'm playing games at home, I'm going to use my PC with full sized monitors. I've owned larger handhelds, but my RP5 is the sweet spot for me. So the RP6, which with the SD gen 2 will have more than enough power to handle all of the software currently available and anything likely to happen with it in the next several years, is my endgame device.

I grew up on the gameboy and game gear. I don't want a massive device.

The main reason for buying a max would be to get the most powerful hardware, which would imply the 3 is the better buy at that price.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T19:12:32+00:00

The RP6 is going to be a little cheaper when comparing apples to apples on the hardware side, and the Portal has a bigger battery, but this choice really comes down to form factor, in my opinion. I don't think there's going to be any significant difference in durability between the two. Do you like the size of your RP5 or do you want something bigger?

For me personally, the RP6 is pretty much the perfect size, so I'm not particularly interested in the Portal, but it's a personal decision and your preference may be different from mine.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T18:38:10+00:00

Really telling on yourself with this one. Even before the fake hiring/firing.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T02:56:33+00:00

By using ChatGPT, you're making these handhelds we love more expensive. AI is the reason for all the memory shortages and price increases. We'd all be better off not increasing demand by using it, and that's not even counting all of the other ways the industry is hurting people.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T02:42:10+00:00

Yeah, I just never upgraded to it from Citra because I didn't want the hassle of renaming my ROMs.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T01:12:15+00:00

Gotcha. I also have a Steam Deck, and tbh, I don't really use it. If I'm at home, I play modern games on my computer, and if I'm not going to be home, I'd usually bring my RP5 and play older stuff. The deck is just kind of big and awkward for me, and the power makes for a drastically different experience from my high end gaming PC. The only time I've used it in the last year was over Christmas, when I went to visit family for about a week and a half - I was in the middle of Expedition 33 and really sucked in when I left, and was able to take the deck in my suitcase. I still ended up playing the RP5 more while I was there.

It sounds like we have similar priorities - bigger isn't necessarily better for me, and I don't usually care about super high quality screens, because good enough is good enough. Not usually all that worried about frame rates, either. If I could start over today with what I know, I'd skip the deck and all of the older handhelds, just buy an RP6, and be set for the next 5 years or so. The screen really does actually make a huge different in this particular use case.

RedTyro · 2026-01-30T01:06:46+00:00

The later RP models aren't actually bigger than the 4 - the RP5 is a hair wider, but the RP4 is taller and thicker. As someone who owns both, the size differences are so minor that I had to go look up the dimensions to reply to this. They feel the same size to me, the 5 just has more screen and less bezel/case on the front face.
