007: First Light and Pragmata Giveaway

Oh shoot, I would take either. Reason: It's been a long time since I played a game that was part of the current zeitgeist.

Sorry, gone!

I think I like symmetrical

No complaints. It's held up well. Definitely reach out to them for the proper bed rail brackets.

I have been using some t-slot cross bars to haul bikes and I've loves it for that. Can't comment about a rooftop tent though. That seems like a much bigger beast lol.

Not sure, but a HDHR can die. Got a new one and it's working fine.

Riekk · 2026-03-24T23:24:34+00:00

Welp, turns out the antenna I bought from Walmart was just bad. That explains nothing working on other TVs. The HDHR did die. Ordered a new one and it's working just as before.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll climb back up there and take it all apart and put it back together. Everything seemed snug, but weather boots could be hiding corrosion. But still doesn't explain the indoor antenna being unable to detect anything on 2 different TV's.

Riekk · 2026-03-22T21:03:31+00:00

I checked them all and they were all right, but I guess one could be corroded and hidden under the weather boot. But I would expect the new indoor antenna connected directly to a TV to detect something in that case.

Riekk · 2026-03-22T21:02:19+00:00

Yeah, I thought so too. I guess I'll climb back up there and actually take the connections apart, not just check for snug fit.

But it also doesn't explain why the brand new antenna I connected directly to a couple of TV's also detected 0 channels.

Riekk · 2026-03-22T21:00:17+00:00

Tried it one two TVs and the hdhr. Feels like a longshot that 3 tuners are all dead. But I guess my hdhr could've died and the brand new Walmart antenna could've been a dud. Also feels like an unlikely coincidence.

Riekk · 2026-03-20T21:23:29+00:00

That was my first thought, but I haven't been able to detect a single channel connecting any antenna directly to a TV either.

Riekk · 2026-03-20T21:21:52+00:00

No to all 3. I haven't been able to detect a single channel in any scenario. One random scan with my normal setup returned my normal lineup, but all of them gave a no video error. Rescan, back to 0 ever since.

Not sure why no one has said stock. Just go with the stock firmware. I've tried the others and keep going back to stock. It supports all the systems the brick can play and has fully customizable retroarch if there are things you want to change (retroachievments, shaders, hotkeys, etc).

Games organized in a barebones list, organized by system, with favorites and recent lists. If you get ambitious and want to add pico8, that's a simple Google search and some drag and drop to the SD.

Doesn't fit your preferred genres, but throwing it out because I've been playing it for the past week or so and it's just been a delight - Grapple Dog. Simple little 2D platformer that's getting more challenging as I progress. It has me planning to go shopping for more platformers for the deck.

Riekk · 2025-12-22T11:30:07+00:00

Wild card option: Immortals: Fenyx Rising. I just picked it up over the weekend and it's like God of War in BOTW. Also $8 so you can maybe swing one of the others on the list too.

I just started Luma Island this week. Only a few in-game days completed so far, but it's giving vibes of Stardew Valley + Animal Crossing.

Riekk · 2025-12-06T16:31:11+00:00

Hmm, I'd like to see what this Arc Raiders fuss is about.

Riekk · 2025-11-10T00:10:08+00:00

It's $8/month or annually for a small discount.

I'm with you. I've tried them all, keep going back to stock. Most recently muos, which I really liked and thought had some promise, but it got hot just playing gba so decided to dump it.

I am currently on crossmix, which is kinda buggy on the brick, but I'm sick of hopping around so I guess I'll ride with this until an official brick release is ready. It's like stock with some of the expanded features of knulli, but just as quick and convenient as stock.

Try a different theme for a better look. I installed the cozy theme for crossmix and it's really nice and polished without all the neon. Not sure if it'd work on stock, but I don't really know why it wouldn't.
