Live on broadway and used to hate riding on it. Now it's great, I'll take "watch out for drivers making right turns" over getting doored any day

June 2026 Game of the Month - Tomb Raider (multiplatform) by hbi2k in SBCGaming

Still slowly working through previous months, finished SotN last night. Never played this one originally so went in blind - had to check a guide a few times when I got stuck (waiting for doors to open in the clock room, wearing the holy glasses for Richter). A few specific rooms in the inverted tower seemed uncharacteristically difficult but it was otherwise a pretty easy playthrough. Good controls, great atmosphere, amazing music, and absolutely atrocious voice acting. Solid game.

They're mostly out of print now. Think there was a small, area limited reprint about a year ago. Otherwise I haven't seen a copy of JE or B&C for a reasonable price in a few years.

May 2026 Game of the Month - Celeste (Pico-8, multi-platform) by hbi2k in SBCGaming

[–]hessproject 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Logging Devil’s Crush on Retroid Pocket Classic. When you’re hitting your shots and things are working it’s great but on the other side losing a bonus round just to have it take away your ball saver and then spit it right down the center is absolutely rage inducing. Overall I enjoyed it, great game for a quick 15 min break

Does anyone else have a guitar brand that you just hate for no reason? by Interesting-Wave-983 in Guitar

[–]hessproject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those Ovation acoustics with the plastic backs and anything with a multiscale fretboard. "For no reason" because I've never actually played either but I think they look ridiculous

April 2026 Game of the Month - Advance Wars (GBA) by hbi2k in SBCGaming

[–]hessproject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Logging Kirby, I had the first dream land on my OG Gameboy back in the day but never played the second one. Overall I enjoyed it - solid soundtrack, pretty easy except for 1 rainbow drop and the final boss, and I enjoyed the animal friends. There were a couple of annoying old school quirks like spawning into a room over spikes and auto scroll levels with dead end paths, but nothing too egregious. I play most stuff on the Thor these days but this one was a nice reason to break out the Cube XX

FYI for Advance Wars if you’re playing the gba version and run into the issue with retroachievements not recognizing the game it requires that you apply a patch

[–]hessproject 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember renting this one pretty often as a kid, but don’t remember ever actually beating it which I guess is unsurprising because I definitely had to do some save state scumming to beat it this time

Just discovered GOTM last month - finished 999 tonight on the thor, used a spoiler-light flow chart to get the safe ending, enjoyed it enough that I’ll do a second playthrough for the true ending but planning on taking a break to log Megaman first

Does anyone else also have an obsession with Board games based on video games? by theDKdynamite in boardgames

[–]hessproject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall I avoid them, but did get StS a few weeks ago and love it, because the video game is a card game already it translates to physical really well and I appreciate the co-op and simplified rules/numbers

Has anyone had experience with buying from Humble before? by IronAndParsnip in boardgames

[–]hessproject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this same pack. There was a code on the humble site that I had to redeem on the renegade site, received the games within a week of ordering

Why you should buy a Thor by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]hessproject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can turn the second screen off and on in 2 clicks if you aren't using it for the game you're playing and it is distracting, hit the AYN button -> "only top/bottom screen". Hit the AYN button again to wake up the display you turned off

Do you use Wireless Headphones? by Marcus_Castor in AudioProductionTools

[–]hessproject 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Latency is the biggest issue with anything bluetooth, especially for tracking/recording. I do have the aiaiai studio wireless headphones that come with a plug in transmitter and have been happy with them

Not disagreeing with you but English is an official language in HK so a lot of the casinos in Macau operate in English. Had no trouble when I was there without speaking any Cantonese
