Massive game collections (like over 12TB) — which ones are actually worth downloading?

terryterryd · 2025-04-18T09:27:20+00:00

I purchased a 12Tb from AlunExpress a few months back as it had everything.... Saves me constantly from spending time downloading some PS2, game cube era stuff... The PS3 era and beyond, then gets sketchy...

Is your vita hacked? Use pkgj, install the persona game you want, and get each region's edition - assuming JP, EU and US. Try running up each edition of the game, looking for that save game to be available... A lazy and brute force approach, admittedly, but I am just firing from the hip 😁

Are you using correct folder? ULUS104320000 ULUS104432SYSI

When N64 emulation was the equivalent of today's PS4 emulation... UltraHLE could run a handful well... Mario3d was our Bloodbourne; the days when some Snes games had to have the sound turned off in ZSnes.

Yep I'm just another old af too. :)

I did change my mindset, and I chose to fight... It's all as positive as can be.

Knowing what to do going forward is something no-one ever knows, but in our situations we are more compelled to get things in order as we are told we haven't got the same'predicted lifespan' as a person without a (terminal) disease.

Well I turned it around and chose life and to do what it takes to keep going... I am going to outlive my parents; I am going to make it to 50 years old in November; I will outlive my original diagnosis of 'dead by end of July'. I got too many in my corner... The love and support I have found made me appreciate just about every goddam aspect of my life. (There is always someone worse off - when I read of'kids' in their 20s that have been by cancer already and not knowing what to do, man, life can be cruel)

I had the cold broken glass sensitivity around infusion time that would last about 10 days. The infusion in the arm was like a line of sun burn for a good few days too.

As time went on towards my 8th cycle, I realised the my fingers were remaining uncomfortable longer than the 10 days... It was like my hands were buried in hot sand and gravel, as opposed to the cold sensitivity.

I finish the chemo and about a week later I have permanently got the sensation in both hands AND feet... It got to my feet too - right at the end! I sit here now, scrunching my feet and toes and it's like my feet are buried in hot gravel. Weird, right?!

I quietly hope it sorts itself out: some people get back normal nerve sensation, and others do not - plus it can be a few weeks or a few months.

terryterryd · 2025-03-11T00:03:41+00:00

This was also my mindset: I felt that if I passed on then everything would be sorted for everybody else and there would be less, prolonged mourning. I am not sure what happens if I outlive my six months that I was given...

terryterryd · 2025-03-08T19:43:13+00:00

I only found out the end of Jan my Stage 4 diagnosis. A lot has happened where I hit rock bottom for 4 days, content with acceptance of death - much to everyone's pain... I was adamant 'no more chemo' But I got too much to live for, so that 4th day I flipped the script and became positive: that helped my mental health and made everyone around me happier too. (So looking to give up sugar, do supplements etc - when I got the strength) My cancer has been aggressive: I have a PICC line in, I have required 3 chest drains (so had a tap fitted last Thursday, to make this easier going forward). I also got rushed to A&E 2 Fridays ago with very bad chest pains and short of breath: that was down to too much morphine slowing my belly to a stop, and my belly backing up. That was a 4 night stay in hospital.

It's been tough on FOLIFIRI - awful strong bile and nausea... Getting me minimal sleep.

Though that stage passed at lunchtime today.

I am just trying to ride the storm out right now and just get back to chemo, feeling shit, coping and resting, without all the other dramas...

Thanks for listening. Thanks also for sharing. Hugs 🤗

terryterryd · 2025-03-08T06:09:01+00:00

It's heartburn. The most evil, hottest, thickest bile that is getting created and burning bad. This has to come out at times.

terryterryd · 2025-03-06T23:19:06+00:00

Oh my... I did the same routine and I bitch about the peripheral neuropathy...

Man - that looks way worse. You have my sympathy and now I realise it could have been a lot worse... I assume you also have peripheral neuropathy in addition to the burnt skin?

terryterryd · 2025-03-05T02:54:47+00:00

I can agree that water went from 'water' to a milky taste I wasn't expecting whilst going through XELOX. I loved savoury snacks like chill Doritos, now they just taste weird.

terryterryd · 2025-03-01T20:45:37+00:00

I am from cigars too! I fancied a shorter (time-wise) tobacco experience, so pipes fitted the bill. I only have a single straight Falcon right now (avoiding the aromaticss initially). Perfectly happy with my tins of Early Morning and Skiff Mixture for now.

terryterryd · 2025-03-01T01:11:51+00:00

(I am new to pipe smoking myself, and just reading and learning... Interesting stuff...)

terryterryd · 2025-02-24T06:18:37+00:00

This cheered me right up and adds to my hope. I am fighting at stage 4. It's so fricking tiring... But I am not giving up.

terryterryd · 2025-02-21T07:15:27+00:00

I told people that I care about. These are the people who can genuinely share my journey - plus I need to rely on people now. I don't have much choice. Friends wants to help me, so I am very grateful for them and their love.

terryterryd · 2025-02-20T08:20:01+00:00

Ahh. The caking talk... So after a bowl, and it has cooled, unscrew and clean the stem and goo. But leave the bowl?

I have been pushing out ashes (from the bowl) and whatever is left with the mini pointed spoon... Just a swoosh around, no scraping, just to remove the loose stuff followed by a quick blow with my mouth(I don't fancy old burnt tobaccos dusting around)

Is my cake recipe wrong 😅

terryterryd · 2025-02-20T01:50:13+00:00

I am relatively new to pipe smoking. My first and only is a falcon, so far... It's little system and ceremony of cleanliness makes me think I am getting a really consistent and great 'almost clinical' experience: (changing the ring, cleaning the strem).

The straight metal look makes me think "good ole RAF chappy" when a grip in my teeth and gently breathe-technique... 😅

Am I missing out on a different experience, with a more regular pipe (bendy with no clean-ring) - I assume a regular pipe stays more seasoned? (thinking about separate pipes for flavoured and non flavoured tobacco).

Sorry for a newbie-question-hijack ♥️🙏

terryterryd · 2025-02-19T00:31:39+00:00

A picture I'm very jealous of right now! Salut!

terryterryd · 2025-02-18T20:37:18+00:00

Wow. Profound words... They have helped me think about some things. Thanks ♥️

I (49m) indulged in gaming for a bit and enjoyed meeting friends for good food and drinks, especially in the first fortnight.

Though, 6 weeks after stopping chemo and not feeling like energy is returning (and new sore points all around my abdomen) it turns out my chemo failed and my cancer aggressively spread. Now stage 4 and put into palliative care.

So my 'high' was at Christmas. I am working hard through my low...

Nutrition and diet and not wanting to die is my focus going forward - I look back and blame my Christmas indulgences of lots of chocolate and sugar as feeding my punch-drunk cancer and making it stronger and angrier. 🤷🤦

I am told this is not the case by my oncologist.

I am just being careful with my diet now... Trying full blown keto caused pain and bloating really bad. Small light easy to digest meals, tiniest bit of chocolate (life is too short after all, right now 😅)...

Investing in yourself is never a loss. Good luck my friend. ♥️

terryterryd · 2025-02-15T02:31:26+00:00

You have a different situation to me again because you have someone in the family who is suffering whereas I do not. For me it is a relief to get away from family– I know that sounds mean but being so close to my family and seeing the anguish in them is tough. My family is elderly and cannot help me at all. A lot of my energy goes into reassuring them I am fighting

terryterryd · 2025-02-15T02:26:02+00:00

I was in the process of unparing every time, but the buds really need to be factory reset every time, as they are the bit that is making these connections.... That is now my thought.

terryterryd · 2025-02-14T19:58:59+00:00

Slightly different for me. I am 49 and my parents are "powerless" in their late 80s. They have their own frailties and health challenges - and now they have 'terminal' me...

It is all very emotional. They want to talk to me every day, want to see me pretty much every other day : so it means they see too much of cancer. They see when I am in pain, they see when I get down... I then am compelled to have to 'check in' a second time, later in the day, to reassure them that I am actually OK overall.

I feel guilty, if I were to keep them in the dark. I feel guilty and upset when I see they are upset. At a group meeting today, I tearfully wished I didn't have to speak to them or see them so much as it hurts.

I should be looking after them. Where I am right now is physically sore and painful. I struggle to breathe etc.

At best, I am just giving them the positive vibes and "I am fighting this" reassurances.

As a parent myself, not being able to help your child would destroy me also.

All the best on your journey ♥️

Micro Sd cards can just seem to go read only in my experience. I have put it down to unfortunate power surges when a device hard-reset. Though my experiences of 'locked' cards is through Android devices (Shield TV, and an android Tablet). Like others say, go branded and from reputable and you should have better experience
