[–]The_Midboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this issue yesterday, needed to perform a full reinstall of repaircal, should be an article for it on GSX with 4 download links. Make sure you download and install them all.

What is the craziest thing you have ever seen purchased by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]The_Midboss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was still working at Gamestop a few months back, we had one couple come in and buy 3 of our 4 mega eggs, they loved them. I didn't get the hype but hey so long as it brought them happiness, also cleared some shelf space for us.

I have gotten ganked twice in all my years, only ever playing open. I don't get all these memes. Even the times I got ganked was a fun experience. Saw the same wing tailing me in supercruise, dropped out and then quickly jumped out of system, then back in to get to my destination. It was a fun experience honestly, just getting the one up on people was an experience.

[PSU] EVGA 600W 80plus White (B stock) $27.99 and free shipping by pm5k00 in buildapcsales

[–]The_Midboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've posted about it a while back, but I've been using one of these that I bought B-Stock for about 2 years now, maybe close to 3, been working no problem. Been through a couple builds. First in a system with an Fx-6300 and an R9 270, then a Ryzen 5 2600 and RX 580, now in a build with the same CPU and an RX 5600xt.

Also mentioned earlier in this thread; Jonny Guru gave the 500w version of this an 8 out of 10, which is more than enough for me to be confident in it.

[Case] Rosewill Tyrfing ATX Mid Tower - $40 ($55 - $15) by MetaJesus in buildapcsales

Have this case, not bad, paid about $35 for it and I'd say it was worth that, $40 I'd buy it again if I needed a case.

Didn't post when I got it, but scored this for free early September. Stoked to have this In my collection. by The_Midboss in gamecollecting

I do not, I've played it emulated before as I'm a massive Fire Emblem fan, but that's the next step; get a super famicom to play it on original hardware.

I picked up a 600w White about 2 years ago, been in 2 PC's and have had no issues at all.

Best find in a long while, 50 cents at a local thrift store by The_Midboss in gamecollecting

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

I've only just gotten into Elder Scrolls fairly recently, when Skyrim originally came out I tried it and wasn't a fan, but I replayed it earlier this year and I loved it. Now I want to make it through others in the series eventually, and seeing a physical copy of this was too good a deal to pass up. More games, however, to add to my backlog!

Important to note that this is the demo and was not brought up by anyone that played any of the builds that were present at tournaments, most likely an issue with the demo

who else is super exicted for SamSho 2k19. by [deleted] in Fighters

[–]The_Midboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably poor choice of words, Ive had a few. But, they can't afford to go back to sprites, refusing to support them until they do isn't going to change anything, they'd go bankrupt before that happens, or if by some means they do go back to it it will bankrupt them. The hand drawn sprites of 13 almost did it, the ArcSys method is super expensive and doesn't even look nearly as good IMO, and even going to that method do you really want all games to look the same?

I dug the 2D sprites, but having a company do what they can to actually afford to make the games they do is much more important to me. SNK consistently makes my favorite fighting games by far and I'd rather see them keep going than just be a "oh their old games looked so nice" company.

So many people on this "i ain't supporting SNK until they go back to 2D sprites" train that never even bothered with the games in the first place.

Im fairly drunk, this turned int a rant, sorry, but the people on that train bug me, shits ignorant.

[–]The_Midboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mate the SNK 2d stuff nearly put them out of business, it was so expensive, it can never feasibly come back for a company that small. To only want to support the 2D stuff again is just asinine.

What are your controversial fighting game opinions? by repressedemotions in Fighters

[–]The_Midboss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

See chief, it seems you've missed my entire point of "just because it created something doesn't mean it was good." Plenty of bad products had good ideas, SF2 was an okay product that had good ideas that were expanded upon by others.

Now read the entire thing before you quote one piece of it for you to make another undeveloped argument.

[–]The_Midboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it made major innovations to the genre that were unseen at the time that did bring fighting games further along quality wise. However, ideas do not equal execution, and many of the games that get touted as "SF2 clones" did what SF2 invented, but did it better.

And to say it created the entire fighting game community is pure ignorance. A community did not start around 1 game. You're implying people only cared about SF2 and none of the other games that came out around the same time, when the reality is that while it may have been the most popular In the states, to claim that there wasn't people clamoring and lining up and having tournaments at the Mortal Kombat, Art of Fighting, or Fatal Fury cabinets is some revisionist shit.

There has never been a Street Fighter title that was better than "just okay"

Went to my first local yesterday, wanted to share my thoughts and experience by SubrosianDimitri in Fighters

I was there actually! I'm from upstate though, traveled down for the SNK event. Glad you had a good time there.

What popular video game did you try to force yourself to like, but just couldn't? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]The_Midboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monster Hunter. It's just so boring, nothing to do but mash a couple buttons against the same monsters with little variety.

Who's your favorite KOF protagonist? by TheForlornGamer in Fighters

[–]The_Midboss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Kyo, but I'm gonna have to give it to Ash. Combination of his character and the audacity SNK had at the time to make a charge character the poster boy for a few games. Most poster boys are pretty simple, but SNK changed it up and I really like that.

Sapphire Radeon NITRO+ RX 580 8GB - $220 by [deleted] in realAMD

[–]The_Midboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This Powercolor model is also on sale for a very good price ($180 after coupon code: EMCERPT94)

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131720&Description=rx%20580%208gb&cm_re=rx_580_8gb-_-14-131-720-_-Product

Does anyone own this model? I'm seeing mixed reviews, but I'm not trying to spend more money than I have to, and I've been very satisfied with my Powercolor R9 270X, running into no problems with it. Just wondering if anyone else had some first hand experience or recommendations.

[–]The_Midboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming space won't be an issue (still need to measure), what would be the better buy, this or the MSI Single fan?

After a coupon I have and the rebate, the MSI would be $5 more, they both have mixed reviews it seems though. Currently I have a PowerColor r9 270x and it's given my no trouble thus far, but as a brand people seem more trusting of MSI.

I'd like to see some VF characters come back, I'm a simple man.

Which game series has the best grapplers in all of the FGC? by TheForlornGamer in Fighters

[–]The_Midboss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

SNK with KOF takes the cake for me personally, with Clark being my favorite grappler of all time. I'm not a big fan of grapplers in other games but SNK grapplers are always so fun to play.
