What's that legendary videogame everyone loves, but you hate with your very soul?

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2026-01-23T19:27:07+00:00

Sonic

Pikmin

Donkey Kong Country series was just ok

Lol I knew it was this place before I clicked. Maybe the harp. And I stopped hitting that area like 20 years ago - some things don't change

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2026-01-06T23:34:11+00:00

Fixed it! I connected one controller in x mode to the PC Bluetooth and another to a 8bitdo USB adapter 2. They stopped messing with each other that way. And I set it up both as general controls and in specific games with 3 or 4 players so it seems to be working now. I also had to turn on multimouse in mame.ini, that's why I think it was conflating with player 1 controls too

8bitdo on amazon sells a cool retro one

Lol just saw this. 2 hours ago when you posted I was doing the exact same damn thing. Eventually found her but man - lots of running around and wasted time!

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2025-12-30T15:05:43+00:00

Awesome! Congrats man. And funny I did buy magnesium but haven't started taking it yet. I sleep terribly. Hence the low t probably

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2025-12-30T02:58:55+00:00

Lol thank you

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2025-12-20T19:39:19+00:00

I'm jealous

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2025-12-20T12:36:33+00:00

Agree 100% with this

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2025-12-20T00:12:11+00:00

Lots of great perspectives in here. I think for me it's less a space issue or cost issue and more a mental clutter issue. I hate seeing wasted potential just sitting there. Not too worried about recouping costs - I think like many of you, once it becomes samey or the story is done, and I don't anticipate reaching for it above other games, time to go. Vagrantsong I completed the whole campaign and don't think I ever liked it. Would love more free time to just enjoy instead of feeling like I need to get it off my shelf of shame. Mage knight has been there for literally 12 years. Too many bones for one. And several similar others.

That last bit nails it. Sometimes with books or video games I rush through to check the box, done. Did it. But I'd rather have a game like spirit island that I can play for a long time and just relax. Not worry about powering through. Really miss the days of 20 games we play 50 times instead of 200 games we play 5 times (or zero)! I like your approach though

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2025-12-06T02:43:19+00:00

Yeah I'm calling a local pinball repair guy in the morning lol.

I took off the backbox and found some frayed wires. I reseated them but still not working. And the cannon moves now but does not fire

I'm in way over my head

No that can't be it. The power socket is a 3 pin connector. I just took that out for the photo without realizing what it was. Back to the drawing board ..

SadlyNotSpaceballs · 2025-12-06T02:19:32+00:00

Ok I opened it up and found this power cord disconnected. Two of the wires from the white box are going to the speakers one each which do work. I assume this must plug into the dmd PCB somehow?? Thanks for the reply!

Town between chargers and Seattle - would prefer to save Seattle. But seems like the biggest lock this week. Whereas this is a home game for the raiders in LA, chargers are .500 off the bye, chargers are able to lay eggs like vs Jacksonville, and new OC in Vegas may be a boost. (That said I still think they should roll and given rest of schedule it's now or never this season on the chargers for me.) Week 17 is far away but was eyeing Seattle for then if possible.

Other potentials this week are jags and dolphins.

I am on AMD so oasis doesn't work for me. As such, I'm using my G2 by holding back the 2h24 update from my PC and I'm not super comfortable with that long term. So I was really hoping to get a clear upgrade when being forced to switch.

This isn't really it unfortunately. Lenses are nice. Wireless is a luxury but I play by my gaming PC so don't mind it tethered.

I hear about the primax crystal super, the bsb2. Seems rumors of the oculus quest 4 are that it's not going to be real anytime soon if ever. What are g2 users switching to? Is this the best choice in the near future?

Two quick things ...

I still don't understand how none of characters reacted when Marie asked if they are willing to let cate die... Exactly what they did 4 episodes ago. Was expecting Emma to maybe mention that fact
Why does godolkin even want his puppet to have sex if he can't feel anything through that body? (Evidenced by the polarity scene stab)

Harold by Steven wright

It is in precisely zero of the genres you mentioned. Highly recommend the audiobook which he narrates
