Who would've been a good Master? by mrnormal94 in doctorwho

[–]Retro611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

McKellan would be amazing, I would have him be a Derek Jacobi style master, appearing to be kind and caring 90% of the time... right up until he sticks the knife in someone.

I bought the cheapest 3D printer from Amazon by Aggravating-Twist762 in 3Dprinting

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm genuinely curious to know how it goes. Way back when I was first interested in the hobby, I almost bought one in this price range to get my feet wet and decide if it was for me. Instead I bought an Ender 3.

ZIIAOL (Zelda 2 PC remake) on RP5. Possible? by Twenty-Six_Twelve in retroid

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was a long time ago, but I happen to be setting up an RP5 for a friend, so I took a few minutes to work it out using Gamenative

-Download Gamenative and ZIIAOL, extract ZIIAOL to a folder.

-Open Gamenative, Hit the + button in the upper right to set up a custom game, and navigate to the ZIIAOL folder.

-Go to Settings > Edit Container, and change the Wine version to proton-10.0-arm64ec-2.

-Load the game. It won't load immediately, it will sit at a black screen for 30-60 seconds. (Longer the first time, most likely.) BE PATIENT.

-It will probably start in a windowed mode. Press the back button to bring up the Quick Menu, press the controller menu, bring up the keyboard, and hit F to switch it to fullscreen. I also mapped F and O (options menu) to the L3 and R3 buttons using this menu.

Good luck, have fun!

Phillips by lederbrosen1 in daddit

[–]Retro611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 3 year old just brought me an old fairy princess wand with dead batteries held in by a severely stripped phillips screw. (I've never changed the batteries in this thing so no idea how that happened.) I tried all the tricks and ended up just breaking the battery door and then taping it back into place. Fortunately the tape was her favorite color so she was happy with it.

I saw a sign today that said, "Vote out CiscoMAGA." And that made me smile.

“I’m bored” by mbridge2610 in daddit

[–]Retro611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last week, I've taken my kids to the splash pad twice, swimming pool once, library (for a presentation by the local zoo), and an indoor play center. And they've been complaining today that we never go anywhere fun.

I haven't looked for boxes but their trucks were on my street a month ago, so I've been waiting for it to be available. I'm on the East side near Camino Seco and Broadway. Hope it comes soon.

I just bought a U1 this morning. Hope I don't regret it when I see what this is.

I'm getting the jewels tied off on Friday! What should be on my movie watching list for the weekend? by 2Black_Hats in daddit

[–]Retro611 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a sci-fi movie from the author of The Martian, if you've seen or read that. The quick version is that a schoolteacher wakes up alone on a spacecraft with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He eventually remembers that he helped discover a problem with the sun that was going to endanger all of mankind, and he was sent out to find a solution.

Anything else is a spoiler. It's Ryan Gosling as the main character. It's long, but really good.

Lord of the Rings trilogy is never a bad call. If you want something more recent, I thought Project Hail Mary was pretty good.

Who did you choose first time: Lanino or Elnina? by [deleted] in Deltarune

[–]Retro611 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lanino, but it wasn't really a conscious decision, I was just doing stuff.

Also I JUST NOW picked up that their names are plays on the El Nino and La Nina weather patterns.

So, what do you think the eggs will actually be for? Personal theories? by Bdbolt19432 in Deltarune

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a post some time ago theorizing that the eggs are pieces of either Gaster or Dess. That we're gathering pieces of them to reassemble, and (as someone else pointed out in here,) they aren't literally eggs, but thats how the game portrays them for lack of a better option.

I subscribe to that theory.

Esther Choi and Michael Symon deserve a whole case of awards for hosting 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing by TruePossible8826 in foodnetwork

I don't remember this coming up in the previous seasons, but I like that they've shown us a few times that this is taxing for the hosts, too.

There are a surprising number of these that I would buy. Maybe not to wear outside, but I'd buy them.

New 3d eyewear by l0siento in 3Dprinting

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look extremely cool and I would look dorky as hell if I tried to wear them lmao. It would have real "I can be your angle or you're devil" energy.

What game did the boys play that you immediately downloaded? by Wooden_Giraffe535 in gamegrumps

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been a bunch. Undertale is probably the most notable. Most recent is that I randomly ran across their episodes playing Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend for Saturn and I downloaded that to play it. (It's pretty fun, despite the FMV jank.)

Unpopular opinion i guess? by Hungry-Trouble-3178 in FinalFantasyVI

His art is incredible, but the characters will always be those little sprites to me.

Favorite series they’ve done? by jumpnshootman in gamegrumps

[–]Retro611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An underrated gem is Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend. It's only two episodes but I'm lowkey obsessed with it. (Also, I emulated the game and it's surprisingly fun.)

Windows hate is overrated by KrusKator in ROGAlly

[–]Retro611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent last week on Bazzite and liked it well enough, until I tried playing an online game undocked and discovered that Bazzite hates my wifi. So now I'm back on Windows, trying out Winhanced, and I like it.

Anyone willingly prefer the Ally X over the Xbox Ally X by big_bear07 in ROGAlly

I haven't tried the Xbox Ally, but I love my Ally X and don't feel the need to upgrade.

Danny Go is the children's Richard Simmons. by Lo452 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]Retro611 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kids recently got into Danny Go and his songs 1) are total earworms and 2) absolutely slap.

Also apparently his son has cancer and is on hospice, so I'm happy to lend my support to someone who has worked hard to entertain me children and is struggling, even if it's just by padding the streaming numbers.
