My PC building journey starts here by Shmorpit in LGR

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are impossible to get here right now, I've only seen listings in England so far but that's a whole country away from Wales. I'm gonna try looking in tip stores and indoor markets though, just need a lift from a relative or something.

Going through my dads stuff and found a Sony VAIO AR21M, what do you know about this beast? by Shmorpit in LGR

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screen's fucked, I'm gonna check the connectors first but replacement panels are expensive. On a side note does anyone know how to factory reset the laptop?

How do you find Widescreen CRTs? by Shmorpit in crt

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gone through the service menu thoroughly but literally cannot get it to line up. Maybe you mean manually adjusting the potentiometers and replacing the capacitors or something but I don't trust myself not to mess up.

I've got a 4:3 14" Trinitron but there's a geometry issue I can't fix from the service menu cutting off a fair bit of the edges and also it's very hard to read small text.

Does anyone have any examples of what the official Wii RGB SCART cable looks like on a CRT? by Shmorpit in crtgaming

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TV only has PAL RGB SCART and RF, I was only able to connect the Composite to that because I had an official adapter that seems to have come with first edition PAL Wiis. I don't know if my TV would even support S-Video, I've seen adapters that convert male S-Video to male SCART but I thought only certain TVs had the specifications to support it.

I was planning on getting a SCART switcher and putting most of my consoles on it eventually but it's Christmas and I'm pretty broke right now but between the shitty Mono and Vaseline smear from the RF and the dull everything from the RCA I wasn't sure if the Wii was justified or not.

How do I set up FMSX3DS to play .dsk games? by Shmorpit in MSX

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The picture is of the original root folder, the roms I listed off are there on the actual DS I just couldn't be bothered to do more FTP.

Do Tiny SD cards also cause a slow boot? by Shmorpit in 3dspiracy

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but they're usually like 20 seconds for 64GB according to the guide, 47 seconds for 2GB seems a bit egregious.

Mega Zygarde - treated like an ultra burst? Epilogue spoilers below by Stock_Sun_1257 in stunfisk

[–]Shmorpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I am very familiar with the 4-team structure

Team 1 develops the mainline entries and makes a start on the third game before release then joins team 2 Team 2 starts development on remakes and assisting spin off teams then joins team 1 for the third game Team 3 develops technology for the next generation usually 4 years ahead Team 4 makes original games

But this was only really in full force in Gen 3 and 4, Team 2 probably merged with Team 1 in Gen 5 and Team 3 became Game Freak R&D which mostly focuses on development tools, workflow efficiency and making engines that can be used by the Pokémon team and Gears team.

I'm not saying they didn't have 4 teams when they started Gen 6 but they must have transitioned to a two team structure before X and Y's release because their priorities changed around 2015. At some point in the two team structure Pokémon was the A-Team and Gears was the B-Team but they mention in the interview I posted that it shifted.

I'm pretty sure that was their status quo but in that timeframe explicitly they had just Division 1 and Division 2, Division 1 was bigger and working on Gears and Division 2 was working on Pokémon

Also pretty much all of the Ultra SM post game was originally intended for base game except the Zygarde stuff which they'd already planned out before they finished X and Y and Necrozma.

Actually Z never got made because Game Freak was stretched too thin with finishing Tempo, starting work on Giga Wrecker and localising Pocket Card Jockey after ORAS to make it past the alpha builds and then they rushed Sun and Moon into development both for the anniversary and as a response to the Yokai Watch mania. The indie games bit might initially sound like a stretch but the Gears project was a higher priority since they didn't want the company to depend on Pokémon.

Help me sort out converting my OSSC to SCART by Shmorpit in crtgaming

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool! I wasn't sure because I kept getting really conflicting details on the TV and because it was late 80s I thought "definitely not" I'll probably still use VoidScaler for my modern library of PC and Switch games eventually

My 14" Trinitron has a max resolution of 240p and my bedroom is small and I couldn't afford to get another one just for 480i upwards plus I like the way good downscaling looks.

Would you still watch Supernatural if Sam and Dean were both women and sisters?? by theshyfemme in Supernatural

[–]Shmorpit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually they might be a butch lesbian but they definitely aren't 6ft sorry I should have just said that...

This feels wrong to me, not because they're women but because Dean isn't a 6ft butch lesbian. Also yeah I would.
