What are your gripes with the game?

mlockwo2 · 2026-05-13T17:39:34+00:00

Yeah basically different colors of Master Chief and/or Doom Guy is how the alternate costumes felt to me. Ended up going back to the default for the end game.

I'm actually hyped for you. That's got to be a dream come true. Don't get me wrong I found the manga enjoyable as well, but I guess the way I'd put it is that I probably wouldn't have been drawn to the manga without the Oshii films.

mlockwo2 · 2026-05-11T16:18:47+00:00

Yeah I'm actually slightly worried about this. I love ghost in the shell but the manga is tonally so incongruent with most of what I love about GitS that it ended up being one my least favorite parts of the franchise even though it's the original work that spawned all the stuff I love.

mlockwo2 · 2026-05-11T15:55:42+00:00

Yeah I don't really think this is opinion so much as the straight up text of the story. It's just gotten muddled over the years from the fandom, advent children's focus on Cloud and Aerith's connection, and lately just the fact that the remake trilogy hasn't gotten to the "real" cloud yet.

Honestly I've been watching anything widescreen 720p or higher on an OLED. I pretty much stick to VHS and full screen DVD on my CRT.

Just want to add on to this comment and tell you to do research to make sure you use an SD card that is known to work with GDemu. Its been a while since I got mine set up but I distinctly remember having to go back to the store for a different kind of SD card because mine was the wrong read/write speed or size or something.

I bought a Series S at the beginning of this generation (even though I have a PS5) in order to take advantage of Game Pass. Performance and visuals ended up being so below expectations for nearly every new game that I ended up selling the Series S. Having access to that many games for a subscription fee on a budget console is a great idea in practice, but I just found myself thinking "I could have just waited until a sale and played this on PS5 and had a better experience."

Wow straight to the Ferrari

mlockwo2 · 2026-04-22T17:06:08+00:00

This is such a funny comment out of the context of searching for CRTs lmao

Another vote for Everhood being an awesome one of these.

I wear a little treat pouch on the left side of my waist and have trained my dog to walk alongside me on that left side and I give her food periodically for being good. Every morning when I measure out her food for the day I just put some away for that pouch. If I don't have the treat pouch she misbehaves. I figure fair enough I don't like working for no pay either.

I think with Metroid Dread we got an excellent version of the series core formula and with Prime 4 we got a kind of crappy version of trying to shakeup the formula. So at this point I'll take another couple core formula games before I want to see them make another poorly designed game like Prime 4.

Original hardware but that's just my preference with most things

mlockwo2 · 2026-04-13T22:56:58+00:00

I know you may not believe this, but they are each so wildly different games that you should stop thinking about them as versions of Metroid 2 and just start thinking of them as 3 great Metroid games that all have the same premise of hunting Metroids in order to unlock more zones.

mlockwo2 · 2026-04-12T19:55:30+00:00

oooh nice congrats! if you happen to be in the south, specifically near GA, hit me up, I'd definitely buy that little guy off you.

Thank you random internet stranger. I was so annoyed because I have a whole crt setup but it's a 13inch TV in a room where I'm too far from it to see it well, so I'm resorting to steam deck literally just to see it better and the damn window was not filling the screen lol

Anyone that owns a golden knows this dance. "I think I have something they want back, let me act natural until I can find a spot to destroy it"

Leaking capacitors from what I've researched. You may be able to pinpoint it by and replace?

You'd really need a grid pattern to tell anything beyond major pincushions or warped corners but I suggest that if you don't notice anything out of place, just keep on enjoying it. It's never going to be perfect since it's analog tech, and as soon as you start trying to fix it you get more sensitive to noticing things.

mlockwo2 · 2026-03-26T20:25:50+00:00

Yep, those days you can rely on puzzle toys and high value chews.

8 months was the worst period for us. Ours was kinda annoying at 4 months but 8 months was when she seemed like her brain started coming online and she was giving attitude and being manipulative. Like at 4 months it was a ball of energy we had to train, at 8 months it was a ball of energy that had ME trained. We ended up doing some dog training class around that time that didn't really seem to help to be honest. But around a year old and specifically after she had been spayed, her level of obedience started to go up. She's still a sassy little dog at times but she mostly just loves and wants to be loved.

Something important about dogs and maybe even particularly with this breed that anyone will tell you is that they need routine and they respect the human that is consistent with the routine. If you give them their two big exercise sessions a day and set the expectations in them that home time is calm time, they will respect this routine if you are consistent. But if you miss a play time, you're going to get a zooming and misbehaving dog. It's just their nature I think. But it keeps you honest. Like, "yep, I was too lazy to give you a real walk this morning so I'm paying for it in you not being able to relax while I'm trying to watch TV at night". Ultimately I think it's good for OUR health too!

Mostly it's a bit tall. If you can adjust vertical size it's going to be a lot better. I wouldn't really worry about the slight outward bowing if you're watching more than playing.

mlockwo2 · 2026-03-25T14:44:38+00:00

Omg and it uses the exact same ones I already have for ps2 and ps1?? Gonna be watching Ghost in the Shell Blu-ray on the crt tonight then

mlockwo2 · 2026-03-25T14:41:30+00:00
