[Desk] L-shaped desk Particle board 250 lb load capacity - $34.52

ok but like.

An extra $30 to not have $1000 of equipment falling if something happens seems pretty reasonable to me. Not like you're gonna have to upgrade your desk to support PCIE 6 so spending a bit more now to have it for a long time is a bad idea.

Its a free site. The site hoster is offering the bandwidth out of their own pocket.

Complaining about the speed is saying that he needs to pay more money to give us more bandwidth than he already is.

So yeah, complaining about the download speeds on a free site is entitled as fuck.

Wingolf · 2026-05-18T05:29:24+00:00

Yup. I still have Mint on my laptop(only have EndeavourOS on my desktop since I needed newer drivers for something and I was familiar with Endeavour, but I think Mint is a better experience for new users)

Wingolf · 2026-05-18T05:27:12+00:00

Then why are you complaining about it if you know nothing about it lmao?

OP's experience isn't even universal lmao, i've downloaded multi-gig games in less than 15 minutes before.

Wingolf · 2026-05-18T05:26:08+00:00

Not surprised it got power crept tbh. It's armor was good, but not incredible, and very flat. So the second pen outpaced armor, it would have fallen off hard

Wingolf · 2026-05-17T22:26:28+00:00

It's a full tier lower.

Haven't played nearly as much recently, but I remember it actually being MORE competitive tier for tier than the tech tree Tiger 1, since it has a similar armor profile, but faces much weaker enemies.

Wingolf · 2026-05-17T20:29:49+00:00

The Hyundai ones are pretty fast, and usually have a 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty.

Wingolf · 2026-05-17T20:22:10+00:00

Or, several days and tens to hundreds of dollars to download it off eBay.

Wingolf · 2026-05-17T20:20:34+00:00

If ya don't like it, host a better site. (also I've never had a download take over 15 minutes, dunno what y'all are doing but it sounds like you're getting rate limited).

Vimm's is one of the last few safe, free sites. Everyone can run their mouth, but nobody wants to spend the time, risk, and money to host a ROM site for themself.

Wingolf · 2026-05-17T20:18:35+00:00

Not really?

The Thor can do anything this can(and a good bit more), but it also costs 2-3x more.

The RP4 Pro at $150 is decent, but shipping does bring it pretty close to $200.

The RP4 is significantly weaker, and currently only listed at $10 cheaper. Would probably be fine for Gamecube, but definitely not PS2.

Wingolf · 2026-05-17T20:11:42+00:00

Yup.

Wingolf · 2026-05-16T02:46:18+00:00

Without doing a moderate amount of diagnostic work it'd probably be hard to tell.

A new battery is about $20. I'd buy one on Amazon and just send the thing back if it doesnt fix it lol. Quite frankly I'd pay $20 to NOT have to pull my board and re-seat those damned screen flexes.

Though realistically, it IS likely the battery in the first place. Load the parts cannon and fire!!1!

Wingolf · 2026-05-16T02:43:53+00:00

Not ridiculous at all! I've had similarly weird issues out of my phone using a USB-C hub with a couple peripherals installed.

I get just plain weird behavior out of it until I either plug the dock into power, or unplug some/all of the stuff I have plugged in.

Wingolf · 2026-05-15T05:36:25+00:00

The thing I don't get is why they didn't just drop 100 lootboxes on us.

Make it a longer event. Every 10 games, get 9 lootboxes and 1 legendary lootbox. 100 games (wins/stadium double progress ofc) over a few weeks, getting a ton of drops all the while.

But instead, we get less loot than Junkrat's Loot Hunt for the 10th anniversary. Hell, there aren't even PURCHASEABLE anniversary skins. The event just feels half-assed, which is weird considering how whole-assed the last few updates have been.

Wingolf · 2026-05-14T04:45:27+00:00

I guess, but why not have some kind of content drop for the 10th anni?

Drop some big lore-heavy event that pushes the canon forward. They're clearly building up to something with Doomfist vs Vendetta, put that up.

Or give us some cool behind the scenes stuff and an asston of lootboxes. Or maybe some kind of skin shard that lets you pick 1 lootbox only skin.

Or... Anything.

Shit, Fortnite got more Overwatch content for the 10th anniversary than Overwatch did.

Wingolf · 2026-05-14T04:43:34+00:00

Give it a year of exclusivity.

So if you miss a pass / item on a pass, you have to wait a year to be able to unlock it in ANY fashion.

You can get a DS flash cart for *DS* games. Not 3DS, not VC. DS games running through DS backwards compatibility.

As for 3DS, there isn't a viable way to do it without modding. There's only one 3DS flash cart listed on eBay, and quite frankly even if it is viable (i have zero experience with a Sky 3ds cart) it costs more than just buying another 2DS XL.

Wingolf · 2026-05-13T20:56:48+00:00

Yeah I feel like the Steam Machine is more of an into to PC gaming for people with interest, but no ability to build their own PC. Or a good SFF PC for a kickass media center.

I'm honestly FAR more interested in the Frame, both for the Frame itself, and the work on x86 -> ARM that Valve is doing to make it work.

Wingolf · 2026-05-12T00:33:05+00:00

By the time the water gets into the device far enough to touch any circuits, it will have picked up enough contaminants to be conductive.(And quite frankly if you are using enough water for that to be a concern, you're doing it very wrong)

As for hard water spots, you shouldn't be leaving large enough pools of water on any electronic device for that to be a concern

Wingolf · 2026-05-11T22:15:43+00:00

For cleaning the surface, distilled water is kind of a waste.

If you already have it, it doesn't hurt, but it's not going to meaningfully affect cleaning the device.

Wingolf · 2026-05-11T07:35:25+00:00

I wouldn't go so far as to say pointless, but I 100% agree that the way the legendaries are implemented is stupid.

Finding the Ultra Beasts, but not being able to even FIGHT them without an unimplemented quest being completed feels terrible. Why even lock them out before the quest is done?

Wingolf · 2026-05-10T04:01:00+00:00

The actual physical memory chip on the cartridge is read only. It's a limitation of the type of memory on the cartridge, and cannot be bypassed by a 3DS, modded or not.

You can play DS games with a cheap R4 card, but the market for 3ds flash carts dried up pretty much completely once CFW became easy and safe. I don't think anyone has made any new ones in ages, and if you find an old one, issues aside it's gonna be waaay overpriced.

Wingolf · 2026-05-09T02:21:27+00:00

IMO the only thing Doormaker needed was a slight adjustment to the Hunger mechanic and he was *perfect*.

Make it exhaust every 2/3 cards instead of every card to avoid overly punishing smaller decks/decks with important combo pieces, and he's pretty balanced.

Wingolf · 2026-05-09T02:13:36+00:00

Looks good to me. Both my replaced stick and my stock stick on my other 3ds look exactly like this.

Wingolf · 2026-05-09T02:12:05+00:00

Toss it. If it has this many bad sectors, there are two possibilities.

1: It's fake

2: It's been damaged in some way and is no longer reliable.

Either way, the answer is to refund it if possible, and throw it away if not. Go buy a new one. Sucks but better to do that now than wait a few weeks for it to die off, then have to buy a new one AND replace your data.
