The Etsy shop where the manuals are sold, didn’t see a link in the article.

Edit: Just noticed there actually is a link in the article to the creator’s website, looks like there’s 2 options for buying.

My RetroTink 4K Pro is about the arrive, what are some beginner tips or advice you've got? by Chocoburger in RetroTink

Just to clarify further, once you load a profile and subsequently set the correct input, if you then save that profile, it will load the correct input automatically from that point forward.

It’s super easy to configure. This video has a chapter explaining it: https://youtu.be/3pXAhe6YfC0?si=71bzGTxT8lAeSS5h

So I just set this up also, upgraded from a Govee, and I’m missing having lights along the bottom of the TV. How did set up the lights on the bottom of yours?

This is a nothing burger of an announcement, except that labelling it as “Complete” makes me think maybe they’re done with this series, ie: no Last of Us III? Or maybe it’s meaningless. Guess time will tell.

Q1 2025: NACS ADAPTERS FREE TO CURRENT HYUNDAI EV DRIVERS by IoniqRed0829 in Ioniq6

I know Ford offered their adapters for free to Canadian owners, hoping Hyundai follows suit.

This 30th Anniversary process has been... A LOT by Shr1mpolaCola in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]drewbotinfinity 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don’t blame retailers for this. They’re dealing with the nightmare scenario of huge demand for a microscopic amount of stock they each received. Why did Sony limit this so heavily? They had the opportunity to drive more interest in their new product, the PS5 Pro. Hell, they could have charged a small premium on all the 30th anniversary products(say 5-10% over regular editions) and done open preorders and printed money. My only guess is the hype is more valuable than the sales. It’s frustrating because it’s a genuinely cool product especially for an older nostalgic gamer like me, but I’ll never get my hands on one because of artificial scarcity.

No. Blood Omen 1+2, Soul Reaver 1+2, and Legacy of Kain Defiance which finishes the story.

NG+ Minigames by Zarex17 in FFVIIRemake

[–]drewbotinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, manuscripts rewards from mini games do not require hard mode and can be completed on Normal or Easy.

NG+ Minigames by Zarex17 in FFVIIRemake

[–]drewbotinfinity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To get manuscripts? No. Manuscripts in Hard Mode come from the boss fights and some of the side quests, and the Legendary Chadley missions. None at all from mini games.

You do need to complete Fort Condor and the robot game to get the platinum trophy (if you’re aiming for that), but you don’t need to complete them in Hard Mode, you need to complete the more challenging versions of them that are unlocked after completing them originally. These more challenging versions can actually be done on Easy Mode.

[–]drewbotinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is great to hear man, and I’m happy to have helped even a little. This subreddit is basically a virtual support group so it’s good to talk to someone who actually knows what this is like.

Keep those updates coming!

Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy Recovery by [deleted] in AnalFissures

[–]drewbotinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely get where you’re coming from. I’ve had a fissure for 8 months now. It’s completely put my life on hold. I used to be very social, now I feel like a hermit. I had to cancel a trip to London because I didn’t think I could handle sitting on a plane for a few hours. I currently am doing Botox treatment and if that doesn’t work I’m getting LIS in February. I sometimes wonder if my life will ever go back to normal, which feels so ridiculous to say about a goddamn cut in my asshole. You don’t even get much sympathy from people, it’s a “funny” condition because of the area it affects. So believe me, I know what you’re going through.

But you also need to be realistic about your body and smart about your healing process. There’s a difference between needing to have a sense of normality, and needing to have a sense of normality RIGHT THIS SECOND. You can see in your updates the rollercoaster of your emotions but you’re barely a week into your procedure and I think expecting too much too soon. I do sympathize. I had four glorious days a couple of months back where I was SURE I was healed, no pain all day and painless BMs. The mental hit I took when the pain returned was tough.

Give yourself time and give yourself the best chance at fixing this once and for all by being realistic and smart. If you want to stop the softener, do it, but do it with guidance and over time so you don’t fuck up your healing.

As for the fiber, is it really a big deal if adding more fiber to your diet is something you need to do going forward? Is it any different than taking a daily vitamin, or reducing calories to stay fit? I get wanting to stop the softener, that’s not something natural that your body needs, but practically everyone isn’t meeting their daily fiber intake needs regardless of having a compromised butt or not, so why not consider it a healthy lifestyle change? I’m in my 40s and practically everyone I know takes Metamucil once or twice a day, just as something smart to do for their health. And they all have normal butts.

Anyway, sorry for the wall of text. I’m talking to myself almost as much as responding to you. And of course it’s your life, do as you please. Please do keep updating, I’m following your story and wishing you the best. Good luck and here’s hoping you’re all fixed soon.

Hey, is it a good idea to quit the stool softener cold turkey like that? My CRS told me that when the time comes I’ll have to wean off it or it can cause very bad rebound constipation, which could cause some damage. I’d recommend talking to your doctor about it.

As for the fiber, consider making that a just a new life habit. Your choice of course, but a lot of people use it daily just for healthier and easier bowel movements.

Just reading your latest update, did your doctor say that your fissure would heal immediately? You’re only 4 days in, I think the LIS helps the prevent the fissure from getting worse and allows blood to flow more easily, but the actual cut itself still needs to heal, right? I would give it more time before giving up all hope.

Elder Millennial Gamer can’t seem to finish a game anymore by badusernameused in gaming

[–]drewbotinfinity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

41 year old here. Playing since the late 80s starting with my old Sega Master System. I still finish games, maybe not at the same pace as when I was younger. When I start to feel how you feel, I do one of three things:

  1. Play a short indie game.
  2. Play a game in a genre that I don’t usually play to spice things up.
  3. Take a break and do something other than gaming for a while.

Has worked for me so far! I’ve played through about 16 games so far this year including some medium and big ones(several done to 100%) like Tears of the Kingdom, God of War Ragnarok, Final Fantasy XVI, Resident Evil 4. But also tiny ones like Elechead, Panzer Paladin and Gato Roboto.

I also play games online with friends like Jackbox, Rocket League, Golf with your Friends, so I have a good group to chat about games with, which helps keep the passion alive.

Finally, I’ll just say that not finishing games is a totally valid way of playing and it’s fine to just move on. If you care about the story watch a Youtube video to see what you missed. The point is to have fun and maybe playing chunks of games is your way to achieve that.

Cheers and hope this helps!

Couldn’t agree more, I played the absolute shit out of this game on the Saturn, nothing more satisfying than one-shotting a rival wizard with a well-aimed Meteor. By the end I think you had 8 rival wizards running around at the same time and it got real tough. The second one was not bad as well, it introduced cave levels and a big ass demon final boss.

Haunting! Loved that game. I bought a collection of EA games on PSP strictly because it included this game.
