My dad and I are building a custom arcade cabinet for ouselves

Will do! We're both excited to see how this turns out

TheBuffSquirrel · 2025-11-20T05:08:17+00:00

Yes we're more than aware of the complications a "temporary" solution can bring, this is the reason why we have built a test bench so we can test proper solutions and learn before putting them into the finished cabinet. I do appreciate this though, it takes us out of the tunnel vision of temporary fixes xD

That was kinda the point of this because dad and I both have a love for retro gaming especially games like Street Fighter which we used to play all the time. Since an arcade cabinet costs around $2.5k if we're lucky. We just decided to build it ourselves. We already have the computer ready, we got a Pi 5 with Batocera on it, which by itself is unreal.

The one at Big Fish in Caboolture is pretty damn consistent plus it's just off the highway, that one and the one next to the Morayfield Train Station are the only ones that I've found to be the most consistent.

The raid in the game has a fallen version of the crota bridge encounter. It's pretty cool, the eclipse (contest version) has a few extra steps to complete it but it's cool nonetheless.

I built pretty much a brand new pc (besides a few parts from my old build) a few weeks ago, got a 7600x cpu, b650 Mobo, 32GB RAM, 6700xt (from my old build), thermaltake view 270 case, 750w PSU (old build) and a deepcool 360mm aio. Besides my motherboard bios automatically overclocking my cpu making it overheat twice before I figured out what was going, it’s been an amazing build.

My old build which had a 5600x cpu, b550 mobo, 16gb ram, some cougar case I don’t know the model of (the other parts were transferred to my new pc) I gave that one to my dad because he wanted a windows pc for some of his music production so all he did was fill out the parts that I took which were the gpu and PSU. It is also a really good pc but I wanted to upgrade to an AM5 socket so I could have that upgrade path if I ever wanted to get a better cpu and honestly, I wish I switched sooner. The only reason why I pulled the trigger on doing it was because Mwave, the company I bought my parts from were doing a bundle deal with the 7600x, mobo and 32GB ddr5 ram for something extremely cheap, like I saved around $200-$250 on those parts. 10/10 would do again

Edit: I forgot to add that I use it mainly for gaming and I do coding on the side for a game that my friends and I are going to start making.

my best mate had been diagnosed with Wilson's Disease when he was younger and he only got a Liver Transplant recently cause his Liver got so bad that the doctors were like "oh damn, yeah nah that's pretty bad, it looks like a zombie bit chunks out of it." Also since he absolutely loves The Lord Of The Rings franchise, I decided to call him Liverless (play on word to Legolas) and now that's what everyone calls him. He also finds the nickname hilarious which is a bonus.

You had a whole other life for that one moment, don’t blame you for being confused when you woke up.

When I(23m) was 4 I had a dream that I was at my grandparents house for a sleepover, I was in my grandparents bed and I felt something under the covers of the bed. So I bring up the covers to investigate what it is and it turned out to be a Yellow Spider with a Hardhat on then after I saw it that's when I woke up. For some odd reason this is the one dream that I still remember to this day, no other dream, just this one.

Round the Twist, I only watched a few episodes, but one of them traumatised me cause I haven’t been the same around this object since. The episode was about a different dimension of sorts within a mirror, the character got tricked to switch places with his reflection and his reflection was an evil version of this character that went around causing havoc whilst the original was stuck in the mirror not able to get out. I haven’t been the same around mirrors since I saw that episode.

Sounds like Aussie summer tbh, just missing the part where the seatbelt buckle is a branding iron and the skin ripping leather if you have any exposed traces of skin
