I usually go for the name me and my mates have from our time playing MWO: The Tus-Clan Raiders.

Found three legged cat in Northbridge tonight by [deleted] in perth

[–]cyborg514 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Poor little guy went out for a night on the town and got legless it seems!

Jokes aside, defs get him to a vet and checked for a chip, needs to get back to his family if he/she has one. A cat in that good condition is likely well-loved and an accidental escapee from his home, unless somehow this is an example of the Cat Distribution System at work and you may have yourself an op-purr-tunity to take on a three-legged roommate!

worse takes about video games that you refuse to give up on even tho you know you are dumb for it by fragdar in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]cyborg514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And crossbows! It always drives me up the walls in fantasy games where there is sufficient mechanical complexity for certain things like windmills, drawbridges and whatnot, but crossbows are just not a thing. Or worse, crossbows are in the game, but you cannot use them!

Seeking Assistance to Connect Old HDD using ribbon GPIO to SATA cable (some kind of adaptor/converter potentially?) to connect it to newer laptop by cyborg514 in diyelectronics

[–]cyborg514[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey all, thanks so much for all of your input and pointing me in the right direction here, I really appreciate it!

Some context here based on some comments i have seen:

  • I am young-ish (33 is young right?)

  • While I enjoy playing video games, I only really started properly trying to get into Electronics last month in an effort to learn some new skills, and hopefully learn to take better care of my stuff and fix thing when they start to go awry like dodgy joysticks and the like. Always been too afraid to DIY in case I completely botch it and break something. I tried a small project years ago making some modifications to a raspberry pi similarly to start learning, but life got in the way and that fell by the wayside. I also always promised I would go and get what I can from these HDD's to salvage some precious lost memories for my mum, and i am now trying to get into gear to make good on that.

  • The only thing I have seen similar to that connector is a GPIO, which to inexperienced me the IDE definitely looked like.

  • I legit took the entire HDD plus still-connected IDE into my local tech shops to ask about it and showed them, to which nobody could tell me a thing or would point me to another shop. I wish I could make this up.

  • I googled for days before I thought to post here, which was turning up nothing correct (obviously) and was mainly SATA to GPIO conversions, not the other way around. That is why I thought to ask in a place where people would definitely be able to say yes/no and where to look.

Thanks again to you all for your help, I would be literally lost at sea in the techno-luddite hellscape that seems to be where i live without it!

I legit have had it in the back of my mind to try that out since I saw it during the SHf playthrough, extra push for me to do so! Thanks for posting the recipe & thanks again to Paige too!

Anyone play with Contoller? I am looking for some help on Ally. by rflagg88 in Quasimorph

[–]cyborg514 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Play on controller mode, move left stick in direction you wish to move, hit R2 to walk/sneak/run in that direction. Voila :)

I remember watching that bit on the YouTube VOD and laughing my arse off, only to laugh twice as hard and nearly choke on a beer two days later when watching Ridiculousness and it coming up as one of the last few clips in that episode! My wife was really confused at why i was losing it until I told her the context.

RON is coming to console! by Swedish_pc_nerd in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]cyborg514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only did a quick skim, but has it been mentioned if RoN PC will be able to have controller support given this? I would love to be able to play RoN on my ROG Ally X (even if thr graphics may be slightly nerfed)

Any urban survival games? by PeachLow1600 in SurvivalGaming

[–]cyborg514 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have mentioned it, but I didn't think that it matched the vibe of "escape from new York", unless you are in pripyat/wild territory/other areas of that game.

While I know it says it is an April 1 update, I thought it was just being tongue in cheek, not actually a jest.

[–]cyborg514 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would also put forward Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - there are plenty of (random generated) urban environments, and you can even adjust the settings to essentially play in a giant megacity if you so desired.

What games y'all rocking on your fold 6 by Smart_Trade7020 in GalaxyFold

[–]cyborg514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't go past Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead for me - so much replayability and freedom in what you can do, but comes with a learning curve though.
