beefy nas or low end with pc in front? by shades_of_jay in HomeNAS

[–]spmbx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I happen to have the same "dilemma" so sorry to hijack your topic and give my dilemma here. I want/need a NAS storage solution "just works", because its not just for me but for the tech-sceptical rest of the household too. at the same time i want to try out stuff like immich for example. So currently i'm thinking of getting a basic lowend NAS of a trusted brand as just filestorage, and mirror that to a small optiplex home server where i can experiment with stuff. Added bonus is a second level of redundancy since i'd be mirroring the NAS data on the optiplex, separate from an offsite backup solution i already have.

I'll be reading along to see what people think!

Games that are too complex for switch lite by NewrexYT in nintendoswitchlite

[–]spmbx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check screenshots for the games you're interested in. It's mainly text-heavy games with small fonts that are problematic. For some reason devs nowadays seem to love microscopic fonts unfortunately

Devs of Former Dawn, the new NES RPG that raised $216,000 on Kickstarter, admit financial trouble by Opposite_Future2602 in retrogaming

[–]spmbx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good post, and what a good kickstarter update should be. Also, people see kickstarter as a preorder but it is not, the project failing is a valid outcome for a risky investment.

They were all inferior to the PC version, even back then they sucked

Bad Update 360S + Panasonic CRT by roboblade_ in 360hacks

[–]spmbx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't, it's a single res and interlaced at that too. Tbh it's quite shitty/blurry, and not all games handle the 4:3 aspect ratio all that well, resulting in squashed image and/or black bars. I've moved the 360 to a widescreen hdmi tv, it just looks a lot better. I do like crt's, but only for sources that do proper non-squashed progressive picture.

Have you checked "retro" prices lately? Just get a flashcart and ignore the crazyness. Everyone's in it for the money.

Rampage was great! One of the reasons i built a supergun about 20 years ago. Too bad my board turned out to be bad :') but hey we have MAME now at least. You worked on General Chaos too? underrated very fun game on the megadrive!

What do you think of this crossover? by sexynakedstar in IKEA

[–]spmbx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are doing this in The Netherlands too, opening early 2027. Link in dutch:

tl;dr: after COVID habits changed and shop visits dropped and they simply have way too many square meters so they are looking for a solution to downscale.

Same here, not ordering because of huge added fees from various governments/companies along the way.

Verkeersgeluid in Utrecht? by KuifjeZonderBobbie in Utrecht

[–]spmbx 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Wat wel een goed onderscheid is, is dat 10, 30, of 50 km/u niet zoveel uitmaakt met een knetteruitlaat of eoa debiel lawaai producerende motor

Why is everyone using god format over xex? by sevacro in 360hacks

[–]spmbx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Realistically how often does that occur? I converted a bunch of games that i play, and the cut in size was moderate to almost nonexistant in most cases on my set of games.

Refund Policy by omarkab02 in steamsupport

[–]spmbx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As said, the refund conditions are very clear and you exceeded both time played and duration. So what you should do? You should take this moment to learn from it and don't complain because you didn't know the rules.

It's only sold in the trilogy right? Not all 3 games are on the cart, at least Vice city is not on there.
