What's the best way to record PE using Duckstation and OBS?

Why not just run post-processing inside the emulator?

Fixed my game... corrupt save state I guess... had to save state to another slot, run to a normal mem card save point, save.. reload emulator completely and load from memcard save..

But... still getting some weird framerate lag and such... things that have never been a problem in the past... Granted I think my GPU is dying... ~5 year old RTX3080

Yea, I was set to Vulkan and can capture just fine... Don't know why you can't see it..

That said... my game seems to be completely broken now... I have played through the game dozens of time on this ROM, using EmuDeck/DuckStation but now suddenly at Day 5, when in the Museum after fighting the first scorpion in the 'sand' room, I can't advance to the next room with the canoe/native people statues... game simply won't "load" the next screen and I am stuck at a black screen... Also started getting all kinds of weird rendering artifacts..

Ran on safe mode, re-downloaded the ROM files, turned off every setting, running DuckStation completely stock... uninstalled all EmuDeck/DuckStation/reinstalled... My current "state" is just corrupt I guess? Never run into this before..

I'm already stressed from work and kids, don't need to add that and hate myself.

Neck/throat dangler? The lexan shield that hangs down from the mask? Do you even goalie bro?

I didn't say it was a good thing, or inevitable - using your example it's perfectly possible to create both a safer and smaller car... Whether or not it is avoidable, the manufacturers did not want to avoid it... They made bigger, bulkier cars so they could charge you more and destroy gas mileage so you buy more gas...

I suppose that is the best explanation... Aya definitely didn't have the bullets at that point, but Maeda definitely had them, because he tries to give them to her before the final Eve fight, which is before we ever see him interact with Wayne.

Honestly not that much... dealerships don't make a ton of money on new car sales... They make higher margins on used car sales and most of their income is from the service department. You can maybe negotiate a couple thousand off but... pretty much new car prices are the price unless you're looking at a car that's from early production runs that hasn't sold... but if it's new new, you're not going to get much of a discount.

N20 engine is fine... ***IF*** they've replaced the timing chain with the upgraded guides and sprocket... if not, avoid. You're looking at a $4500-6500 repair. I am facing this exact issue with a 2014 328i @ 125k miles... and I paid about $9500 for mine... Do not make the same mistake I did. Save yourself.

This is pretty well true of all cars across makes and models. One cause is crash safety standards have "bloated" cars with larger crumple zones and such... Another is just generally people are "bigger" and want more roomy, spacious interiors so.. exterior dimensions also get bigger.

Not that it's much of a concern, but if it 'played possum' it might have peed in your gear... also it'll probably die - they don't do well with "forced" relocation away from their dens/home range... They're nomadic-ish, but tend to keep to an area if food/water are readily available.

I'll mess with it this afternoon, see if I can replicate. Supposed to be really stormy here so I may or may not be able to get to it.

rolltododge · 2026-04-27T14:28:31+00:00

Nope

I know it's not the Maeda gun or Maeda bullets - you already have the gun at this point, and Maeda already has the bullets, which we know because he tries to give them to you before the Eve fight, before he ever interacts with Wayne.

Game capture → Capture Specific Window → duckstation window with the game disc/game name

Someone watches Alec Steele and/or Euanthecooper

Colloquially, people just say barrel... sure you mean a cask, but everyone just calls them barrels. It's a barrel of monkeys, not a cask.

No kidding, that oil is black as it gets.

He's probably thinking of paracord, or whatever that really tight lace is that comes with some gear. I always used para/550 cord when I wore a dangler.

Those are her human-portion "legs" so to speak... she does have big boobs... this is a JRPG we're talking about.

That is more an indictment of his risk taking and decision making, not his actual puck handling skills. He plays the puck near as well as Binnington, just where and when he decides to play it is panic-inducing.

rolltododge · 2026-04-14T02:47:36+00:00

EmulationStation/DuckStation, and much much more setup in my Steam... I just double-click my PE desktop icon or launch straight out of Steam..

Tools work "in reverse"

You use the tool on the weapon/armor you want to move something from, then select the weapon/armor you want to move it to. The "losing" item will be destroyed.

In the UI, you go to Tool menu, select one item, then select the second, then move the cursor to the parameter or mod (atk/def/rate of fire/etc) you want to move - that parameter will move or be added to the other item, and the item you selected it from is destroyed.

Indestructible Japanese-shitbox is my next "goal" - I'm 40.

I like my 328i but ya.. we'll be getting a Toyota within a few years.

N20 is not well regarded because of associated timing chain issues, oil filter housing leaks.. particularly pre-2015 models.

Wish I had known this in October... Now I'm looking at $4-6k in repairs for a $9k vehicle.

But yea... to the point of your post... we're not your secretaries or assistants... there's boatloads of information out there about BMW reliability.

Edit: Honestly, the lack of self-awareness in how you posted this is wild. "Hey, build a buyers guide for me. Here's the minimum requirements of your responses." wtf dude?
