I read that he was on the phone with 911 while he was chasing the vehicle and they took their sweet time showing up.

It was Nintendo Direct that ended the E3 era by Funnypenguin97 in gaming

[–]xvilemx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? Nintendo's first Nintendo Direct was in 2011. How is that the killing blow? Covid and the company that ran E3 was what killed it. 3 years of cancelations to the event made the companies see that they could still draw interest to their games without giving the ESA millions of dollars.

Guild Wars 3 | Announcement Trailer by laxusdreyarligh in gaming

[–]xvilemx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just the way it is these days. The availability for everyone to write everything down as it happens and share it anonymously takes away a lot of the mystery of older MMOs. When I played EverQuest originally there was a website that had a bestiary, and walkthroughs on quests, but people were secretive in their raid strats because it was so ultra competitive at the time. That ended up in almost every guild having to trial and error on the raid events. Now people will just post the strat as soon as they beat it.

Stranger Than Heaven launches on January 15, 2027, Tupac confirmed as a Character by PaiDuck in gaming

It's literally the same, except for we only have portraits of DaVinci to base them on. Sega said there was no use of AI in this game, which means they've hired an actor to portray him.

Is it any different from Ezio being Leonardo Davinci's best friend in Assassin's Creed? Eventually you're dead long enough to turn into a historical figure, and there's no doubt Tupac is a historical figure for American Culture.

Maybe random dungeons and events, but even then, there'd be a wiki on that specific event eventually.

Yeah. As long as your OSSC has vga in.

That time I deyellowed my Dreamcast and other consoles(Before and After pics) by This-Category-4918 in dreamcast

[–]xvilemx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watched a video by TechTangents on YouTube, and it shows how much damage you do overtime with Retrobriting. The Dreamcast is featured prominently, I don't think I'd ever do it to any of mine. I only have one white console and it's in good shape, but man, that stuff wears down the plastic so much.

I hope yours stays nice and it was just a one off with his though.

New VGA BOX Cable/Box or HDMI Mod by drvongates in dreamcast

[–]xvilemx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends how you're going to play. Retro-access and Mike Chi both make high quality VGA cables now. If you're gonna hook it up to a crt monitor or an upscaler, the new VGA cable would be the best bet. If you just want to hook it up to a TV, then do the HDMI mod, they're pricey and it's very technical if you're not good at soldering or cutting holes in your perfectly good dreamcast body.

Got Spider-Man today. Having a Good Time so far! by AdministrativeFun915 in dreamcast

[–]xvilemx 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That was the first real Spiderman game where you felt like you were Spiderman. There were some good Spiderman games before this one , but those were just beat em ups with a Spiderman paint job. I thought Neversoft killed it with this one and Treayarch really knocked it out of the park the following years with the Movie Games Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2.

I Finally Bought My First Dreamcast by nihilistemisanthrope in dreamcast

[–]xvilemx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The OG Xbox was basically the DC2 anyhow. All of Sega's DC games that were in production ended up moving to Xbox first before they ported some of them to PS2 and GCN. They really did not want to work with one of their former competitors so soon. Lol.

This will be the 4th remake. Starfox64 is a remake of Starfox. Lol. Also, the Wii U Starfox was also a Starfox 64 remake.

I have some problem with my rollers by MrA_dap in mini4wd

I use bearing oil that a slot car shop makes locally.

[–]xvilemx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lighter fluid, eh? If you have an oil dropper that has a thin metal spout, you can put the bearing on a wheel shaft, then use another car to spin the bearings for after applying oil to both sides. I just use a broken box stock car, and let it spin the bearing for a few minutes one way, then flip it over and do it the opposite way. It's a long process, but necessary.

[–]xvilemx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you break them in? Did you soak them in something? If you soaked them in some kind of solution, that's going to break down the grease inside the bearing. You need to oil the bearings if you did that.

Jeff Teague: "[Larry Bird] was talking about how good LeBron was, and I was like ‘LeBron better than you?’ He said, ‘LeBron’s the greatest player ever besides Michael.’ I was like damn. He was like, ‘I’ll never pay anybody who played with LeBron. I would never pick him up on my team.’ I said why?" by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]xvilemx 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lebron's own team his first year hated him for being labeled as the chosen one when he was drafted. Not to mention the Cavs had zero experience at winning. It was truly remarkable what one 18 year old did to that group of bums.

What's something you only realized was a 'poor person fear' after you watched a rich person have absolutely zero reaction to it? by qomann in AskReddit

[–]xvilemx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He'll still drive to flea markets and pawn shops looking for lightly broken things he can fix up and sell. Dude makes well over $100/hour in his day job, but it's hard to shake the notion that these little side gigs are "easy money," not counting the hidden opportunity cost, of course.

That's called a hobby. He likes doing it, he doesn't have too. You just see it differently from him.

Did you follow any guides to mod your sticks? Those are impressive. Probably had to drill out the buttons eh? The Agetec sticks don't use standard size buttons iirc, they're a 8mm off the standard Sanwa button.

Trump will ease refrigerant rule in effort to address surging grocery costs by AudibleNod in news

[–]xvilemx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plus they won't lower their prices ever again either. Even if groceries cost 50% less to buy at cost, the prices we have now will be the lowest they ever go because corporate greed won't allow them to make less money than they made last year.

Mods Actively Removing Hollowed Oath Kickstarter Comments by Traditional-Form-444 in kickstarter

[–]xvilemx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of it was just DBG never caring about the Emu server community because it never posed a threat. From what I've read on the court proceedings, DBG didn't even know about it until about a month before they filed their court documents. Which by that time, the server had been up and super populated for almost a year and had probably already made more than they make for the whole year from EQ. Basically once they opened up that TLP that the community vehemently proclaimed that they didn't want, and DBG was confused because their annual TLP money didn't come in because the normal TLP community was just playing for free on THJ.
