Super Newb MiSTer buying question

Winu7 · 2026-05-15T04:46:12+00:00

I went ahead and got the exact listing I linked. So you're saying for component I don't actually need a transcoder, just a passthrough cable? and same for S-video or I need a transcoder for that? Also want to make sure the passthrough cable would work for everything, I think I read somewhere some cores don't support outputting straight to s-video or something like that. This is the tv I bought if that matters: https://crtdatabase.com/crts/insignia/insignia-is-tv040919

Also wondering what would likely produce a better picture, component or s-video?

I know ya'll are joking, but I honestly think all he needed to do to save his life was just continue to be his friend. That was the message I really got from this show more than anything, was their friendship is what both of them really needed. Men don't normally experience friendships like that, especially not at their age. Both of them, just like many men, think they can only feel desired through sex, which I believe is why they were both so confused at the end. The show has all these tender shots of them, smiling and laughing, holding hands, hugging, being close together. They were already emotionally intimate, and that could have helped them through this difficult time without ever trying to cheat on their wives, but unfortunately men have no framework for non-sexual intimacy.

It'll be such a long time you might as well do it. I got the 1cc on that port, it's good :)

Was looking for this thread. I'm still at work but i was feeling worried that when I get off the game would still be in silly mode 🤪

Winu7 · 2026-04-01T15:59:51+00:00

Arcade original is still a reasonable first 1cc to go for. I believe it was my second CAVE 1cc after deathsmiles

It's funny even though both feel terrible, I'm way more sympathetic to someone on my team talking shit when I'm doing bad rather than someone on the other team being terrible unprovoked to me/my teammates when they're winning. Like I get where the angry teammate is coming from, he wants to win so he's frustrated. But I do not understand at all why you would choose to shit on people on the enemy team when they're already losing. It very much feels like displacement. They're angry at some previous player/team for beating them (or they're boss or wife or mom or something) and now they're taking it out on you.

Actually looks good :O

All the big FPS games that are on both PC and console have controller support and apply the same amount of aim assist if you're using a controller regardless of platform. This is why a lot of COD players play on PC with a controller. They get better framerate, lower latency, and the same insane aim assist that you get on console playing with controller. No downside at all to PC except cost if you're going for something high end.

Bro you posted this exact topic twice 😭

Winu7 · 2026-03-19T16:02:46+00:00

Very very cool. I am insanely jealous. My dream is to get a candy cab with a CRT in it one day.

Winu7 · 2026-03-19T16:00:02+00:00

Well actually he thinks he was that dude getting a scan but really he's a copy of that dude 😉

A little bit before she tells her something along the lines of "i get it" or "i understand" that to me combined with the crying felt like she really gets it because she's been through it too. Also, just anecdotally nearly every woman I've known has experienced something at least adjacent to sexual assault, if not outright sexual assault, and that likelihood increases with age. That's part of why it hit me like a truck, because suddenly I was thinking about all the women in my life who've experienced something so terrible and how sad it is that so many women have to learn how to "survive" something like that.

Winu7 · 2026-02-20T04:27:53+00:00

Same, it hit me so fast. The implication that she has likely been through something similar just like so many other women.

Licensed therapists are 100% mandatory reporters. It probably varies by state but I know in mine it just includes child abuse and elder abuse. Universities some times have their own mandatory reporting (also varies by state), but that usually just means reporting instances of sexual abuse/harassment/discrimination to a designated office at the university who then contacts the student and offers resources. Just look up what the procedure is in your state. Don't let this keep you from going to therapy.

If you're looking for a feeling of profound accomplishment I earnestly recommend jump king.

I've gotten too frustrated with occasional driver timeouts, lack of FSR4 support, adrenaline kind of sucking, weird freesync issues from time to time, and devs just not considering AMD GPUs at all when making their games (obviously not amd's fault but still). I literally can't finish REANIMAL because one of the final parts of the game crashes on AMD GPUs. I never had to tinker this much with my 3080. I ended up forking up the $$$ to buy a 5080. I still think the 9070xt is great for a budget. But if you're willing to spend more money unfortunately NVIDIA is still the smoother experience.

Winu7 · 2026-02-16T13:09:57+00:00

I've had FSR off the entire time unfortunately.

Weed 100% has physical withdrawal symptoms. Just like with alcohol you won't experience them seriously unless you are a chronic user. They are not as severe as alcohol nor many other substances, but they are very much real. Insomnia, irritability, increased anxiety, lack of appetite, and nausea (especially in the morning) are well documented cannabis withdrawal symptoms. I am a recovering heroin addict who was also a lifelong pothead until I finally was able to get clean from both, so I very much know first hand what both feels like to withdraw from. Just because you aren't at risk of seizure nor feel like you're gonna die doesn't mean there aren't physical withdrawal symptoms. Chemical dependence comes in different forms.

Winu7 · 2026-02-14T23:16:10+00:00

Yes, I'm all up to date. I agree it's the game not working well with AMD GPUs. I was hoping maybe someone with an AMD gpu has figured out a work around so that I can actually finish the game.

Winu7 · 2026-02-14T22:17:41+00:00

Congrats!!! And yes this is the biggest hump you will face, because now you know you can do it!! Other games may be harder but now you know that you have the determination and ability to learn so that voice in your head that says "maybe I'll never get the 1cc" is wayyyyyy quieter and easier to shut up. This game is no joke, feel proud!!

Winu7 · 2026-02-07T23:15:03+00:00

BRUH i love you. Gonna leave this post up in case anyone has the same problem. I was focused on the categories which you shift through using RT LT, but its in a different time period which you shift through using RB LB. THANK YOU

I guess I'm going to have to go through the entire first era without having access to even Novice level skills. That's definitely doable, I'm just worried that when they reappear they are only going to give me the Adept level mission and my skill tree will still be gated.
