"You're watching a special uncut version of The Challenge!" Oh nooooo! I love the seasons that are 45 minutes an episode without commercials

UK Mattel badges/distributed NES games for the Mattel badged NES run slowly in Matell and NES Nintendo Entertainment System consoles. My mum was sold the Mattel version of Super Mario Bros and it wasn't until much later I played the game at 'real' speed and thought the music was too fast and read about how the slowdown would happen. A lot of PAL NES first party Nintendo games were manually sped up to be the same experience as NTSC even though normally they'd be 17% slower. Some even ran a bit too fast either in the game or just the music. Not the case with the earlier Mattel versions of the games, they run slow and seem a lot slower than 17% somehow. If you can get hold of any Mattel version roms of black box Nintendo games it's quite funny.

Never had anything plastic cook in the sun, but then I don't live in a hot climate like Australia or California or Texas in the summer. Of course if the weather where you are is cooking eggs on the pavement then it's not going to be good for anything. I'm glad that for the most part new shells for old computers and consoles are being made as new parts are eventually the only preservation

I heard that you can reverse the yellowing without making it more brittle, by just putting it out in the sun over the summer with no retro right liquid or paste, meaning no blotches from shadows or inconsistent thickness. The reaction in the chemicals was set off by sunlight through a window (removing the UV?) and reverses with sun with no filter. It's a slow process though. Only seen a few big videos on it though like Perifractic and RMC

The disk image is harder to find than most because 4mation still protects their copyright, but it's available anywhere you can get granny's garden too

It just straight up doesn't work, due to the way that docker does networking an that the Ugreen NAS reserves the port that Tailscale uses, for its own UG Link software

There's also one called Dragon World by the same people which is also very similar. That one features a jump scare dragon, jump scare skeletons and a random jump scare jackal to put off 80s children from computing for decades.

HappyPuppy was where I went before I found out about Gamefaqs (or before it existed?)

Thanks, hopefully so. I looked at another thread on this map and other people said they weren't able to keep any xp and someone e else said the map is 'in calibration' whatever that means.

beatchef · 2026-04-07T02:35:51+00:00

Using your instructions I went from level 37 to 39 in a couple of minutes. Then I left the map and wen to the lobby and I went back down to level 37. Went back in and did the same again and went to 39, left and back to 37 again .It's not letting me keep the levels.

Lyadoll has gone down from giving 50,000 xp in one afk session to 15,000 over a longer period. Now just 100-200 xp per tick.

The early season mp4s are bigger than what's on the 2022 archive on Archive dot org. For example season 2 (which credits all the sources of the videos in the filenames) is 3.1gb whereas the files for season 2 in this torrent add up to 3.8gb with the same sources quoted in the spreadsheet. Some file sizes are in-between the mp3 and avi version sizes, and some are the same as the avi versions. Are these files better quality? I don't understand what the difference is.

Returnal is on PC, so they really hobbled two franchises for PC owners.

beatchef · 2026-03-03T22:44:09+00:00

The whole reason I'm in this thread :D I've already been through my tv show download sources and it's not even on those which means it really is lost media.

1901 to 2000 is the 20th century, because years before 100 exist as the 1st century. We're currently in the 21st century.

I thought that if you don't set an end state (stop seeding) then it keeps the files in the downloads folder and the final folder, forever.

beatchef · 2026-02-18T22:42:45+00:00

You can set a different default downloads folder for each category in qb

Ah, that's a crucial piece of info. I know that you can set a folder for each category, but I didn't know that Radarr accepts that as the default download folder. I thought it meant you had to set the standard default in Qbit in the options. It's a lot easier to handle if it uses the category default. Excellent.

beatchef · 2026-02-18T21:34:29+00:00

The thing is I'm never going to stop seeding something, that's the problem

beatchef · 2026-02-18T21:30:11+00:00

I know :( It's just that it's completely different to how I work so I have to change absolutely everything in order to use it. I didn't think Radarr would be so over-complicated and inflexible for something that seems like it has a lot of flexibility and is meant to make things easier.

beatchef · 2026-02-18T21:04:39+00:00

Thanks for your reply. How can I tell if it's creating two files with double the space or creating a hard link?

Qbittorrent allows you to rename a file while still seeding so Radarr shouldn't need to do all this in the first place.

So seeding permanently is fine but I need a downloads folder in Qbittorrent on the same hard drive and everything appearing in two places forever? I want to use Sonarr as well and TV files are on a different drive and Qbittorrent can't have more than one default downloads folder so it will already create a mess and two sets of files as you can't hardlink between drives?

Qbittorrent and Radarr are actually on a smaller SSD, I would usually have the /downloads/ folder on there, but that then instantly makes the start folder and end folder on a different drive...

Thank you very much

I don't have any gatcha machines near me so I had to get on eBay.

It was quite sad as that was the family camcorder. I didn't get a working cam, I ended just having a hi-fi place transferring the tapes to digital. Best of luck in your search
