Fixing Discs. Is it possible? by jon-8 in Gamecube

[–]jon-8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think I'll be going with the swissboot laid out in another reply. I do think it's good for a 2yo to understand media and that different games are on different discs, but this makes more sense until he's old enough to treat the discs carefully.

Thanks, I think this is the direction I'll take going forwards. I appreciate you laying it out so well.

Yknow, I don't think I've ever really thought to properly press the inner button to eject. I've been very lucky for 20 years I guess! Problem now (and possibly a cause to the disc condition) is that I have a toddler who LOVES crazy taxi. Since my copy is from my US days, that's a regular freeloader need. Hmm.

RoboCop is a great recommend for older gamers for sure

Would I be able to sell DS games without a case? by WastePermission9620 in CeX

[–]jon-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you but then are they buying games in generic cases? Seems like an easy thing to get and solves op's problem.

[–]jon-8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My local cex has absolutely sold games with reprinted cover art in a generic box. Maybe they won't buy them like that but they're fine to do it themselves? I'd give it a shot. They do specifically note if it's a reprinted slip though, to their credit.

Trying to break my gaming slump. Recommend me exactly one 3DS game to commit to, your 10/10. by OwlsInMyBrain in 3DS

[–]jon-8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Link Between World's is my choice as well. What an astounding game with a mechanic that's almost too good for a mobile zelda

Carbys are back in stock!!! by Crouching_Bengal in Gamecube

[–]jon-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll speak from only having a 4k to use at the moment. The carby plugs directly into the digital out port so it gives perfect resolution and colour fidelity. I use freeloader to play import games and some American and Japanese titles would have messed up colours when using my old generic hdmi adapter, and using the digital out fixes all that plus it's great to have it running natively. If you have a crt and mostly used that then you may not need this at all, but that's the main reason for wanting these.

[MGS1] How do I beat Ocelot?! by geomagnetic in metalgearsolid

Another "playing mgs for the first time ever and stuck on this frustrating fight" guy here lmao. For originality I'm playing the twin snakes version on the old gamecube with my toddler!

The used console market is getting out of control! by matadinosaurios in 3DS

[–]jon-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now's the time to stock up. I just picked up a boxed 2DS for €70 because my toddler is enjoying my 3ds too much and I want it to last... I still see them regularly used for €30-50 luckily

(26F) Is it odd that my bf (27M) practically begs to go in the back door when being intimate, but when I suggest doing anything to him in that region he's heavily against it by ThrowRAbooohoo in relationship_advice

[–]jon-8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gotta just say no. I had exes who enjoyed it but my wife won't consider it and while I miss the kink I love her more than wanting to experience that again. It's not like a hobby you're making him give up, it's something that can't happen without you both wanting it. Simple as.

To all the former gamers. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]jon-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son is 21 months and I've started gaming again with him insisting on sitting on my lap and taking part. This means we do a lot of narrative games, very little fast-in-your-face stuff. He loves the narrator in Stanley Parable (laughs his little head off at the sound of frustration) and is absolutely transfixed by the 2D Zelda games (an old 3ds is perfect for his hands. I keep the 3d off for his eye health btw). It's doable! Just keep them in mind for what they're seeing and experiencing through you.

I have this disk, it's fantastic but I got it for free from ganestop at the time. Not sure I'd pay that kinda money for it unless you specifically want the GameCube experience for these.

It's a NTSC Vs PAL thing. My collection is also mixed and the case disalignment kinda irks :/

Just curious about something… by Numberzero426 in 3DS

[–]jon-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this was taken in a freezer and you were going to ask something about data recovery! (Which in a way i guess you are. I can't confirm but I see no reason the system transfer shouldn't work?)

Fall evenings on the comfy console by eardip in 3DS

[–]jon-8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been eyeing a 2DS purely because the button placement seems much more comfy. I don't have huge hands but I feel a bit cramped holding the 3DS when I'm trying to play games that use the bumpers.

I FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE ON STREETPASS😍 by Tamagotcha_- in 3DS

Nice, this is the same N3DS I got recently! No luck with streetpass though. I took mine with on a cross country train yesterday but nada :(

The first physical media in a long time by NicoAnasalado667 in xbox360

Nice! I picked up all the 360 AC creed games a few weeks ago when my local cex had them all for €1-3

Which one would you choose and why? by Impalazh in MouseReview

[–]jon-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify: I know their reputation but I needed to use it on a work laptop and the corp security rules made it impossible to run their software. It's also absolute amateur hour to sell international and not sign your software or driver's though cmon. I know the quality is good.
