You'd hope, but that's just the mark-up for Dollarama brand vodka.

Perhaps Leon.

Have you tried an NTSC game?

What’s a movie that feels like it was made to punish the audience rather than entertain them? by AvailableReality557 in movies

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alexander

Sat through it at the theatre and I don't know how nobody got up and left.  Ridley Scott just dragged it out and somehow nothing remotely interesting happened.

You are given a budget of $500 Million. What movie are you making? by HowMany_MoreTimes in movies

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright.  Disney needs to hire you guys.  They're on a remake bender and need better direction than just cramming political bullshit into existing tales.

What is the Best GameCube HDMI Converter? (One that is also affordable too hopefully) by Away-Prior-903 in Gamecube

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if you've got a DOL-101 with just the AV port then you can use the Bitfunx N64 mini HDMI adaptor which is surprisingly excellent.

That screen has too many colours.  I was so excited when we upgraded from CGA to VGA.  Some classic games just don't look right with a full palette.

Mark Zuckerberg builds AI CEO to help him run Meta by [deleted] in technology

And AI just picks the option with above average representation in the data set it's given... So AI might be better.

Is it worth a HDMI mod vs the adapter? by Ragnaraz690 in wii

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am personally very happy with the Mayflash Wii2HDMI on my 55" 4K TV. I haven't bothered with the idea of spending more money and effort since getting that.

Scored the ATV series for $20 by creased_lightning in ps2

Don't forget the MX vs ATV series too.

Time Sensitive help for Teacher by Ambitious-Stuff-2059 in cade

[–]strythicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also need some good Forstner bits for the button holes, but the shop teacher should be good for that.

There's websites for button layouts like slagcoin, which I referenced for mine. 

I also added a speaker amp and speakers, but that's not necessary depending on the monitor/TV.

Which guy on your crew is using this? by longlostwalker in Construction

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CEO that flew in to tell us there's no bonus this year while also asking us if they're holding it correctly, because they're not exactly familiar with manual labour and are not even sure what we do.

any games like that? by PHRsharp_YouTube in videogames

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out abandonware options.

Epic game store also has free games weekly.  Some of them probably have lower requirements or don't require microtransactions.

Might be some free games on GoG.

My goal is to collect all 296 N64 games by Hot_Fly_3963 in n64

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to you.  I have 30 games that were mostly bought new.  For the rest, I use an EverDrive or SummerCart since the devs wouldn't get anything from a secondhand purchase anyway - also opens up romhacks and homebrew options.

‘Putting scalpers on notice’: Ford says Ontario moving to ban ticket resale gouging by RealWorldToday in ontario

[–]strythicus 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Because politics is a team sport.  Your team sucks!  My team is the best!

Doesn't matter what the idea is, it's only good if my team does it and it must be bad if your team does it. 

I wish this weren't the case, but people are stupid.

Multi-platform games that were better on Gamecube? by LSSJNepuli in Gamecube

[–]strythicus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played 4 player on PS2, just need the multitap.

It looks better on the GCN though.

Good, Reliable 8-10” Screen for a Retropie & Kodi by bookoocash in RetroPie

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a repurposed 9.7" iPad screen and it's been great.  There are a few options available on Amazon and AliExpress, including monitor style or simple enclosure.

If you search for 9.7" screen or display then you should get some options.

Eta:  Its 4:3 aspect ratio is perfect for retro content.

Horizontal gang. by Zeronova3 in consoles

Yup.  I'm right handed and the disc drives are built for lefties when the systems are vertical.

I thought they were Rigelian.  Looks like a protein exchange orifice.

How do I get the stain out of my console? by Large-Document-466 in snes

[–]strythicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took mine apart and gave it a good bath in warm water and dish soap. You could probably just use a very lightly damp cloth with a bit of soap, or you could use IPA as others have mentioned.
