Yeah, if I ever did that, I’d rather take it to someone who knows what they’re doing. I have little experience soldering and I don’t want to destroy something in my Dreamcast by accident.
- Comment on Built to last 7 hours ago:
Okay, now I know why my Dreamcast keeps asking for the time and date every time I turn it on. Always wondered, but never checked because it worked regardless.
- Comment on New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI 20 hours ago:
Okay, but when can the law straight up ban companies who don’t comply with the law from operating in the state instead of just slapping them on the wrist and telling them “no” the same way a pushover parent tells their child “no”.
- Comment on Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response) 2 days ago:
Rivet from the latest Ratchet and Clank game.
Why? Two words:
Big Hammer!
I swear it looks bigger in game, but I haven’t played in a long while, so I could be misremembering.
- Comment on Is it me or does it seem like review bombing on Steam has become so much worse recently? 4 days ago:
I have not seem this happening because I don’t check reviews when 99% of the time the reviews are spammed with people giving the most useless review that tells you absolutely nothing or a bot wrote it and it’s the most factually inaccurate piece of shit you’ll ever hear.
I honestly wouldn’t be too opposed to Steam making reviews possible only after refund policy to prevent abuse. Really try and keep the trolls away and bots away, at least from paid games.
- Comment on What's your greatest "gaming high" you've been chasing ever since? Please take care not to spoil anything, if you are going to be story-specific. 4 days ago:
Sitting on a couch in the basement, table thing in front of it, little CRT on top, PS2 plugged in, playing Star Wars Battlefront ( either 1 or 2 ).
Either that, or being on a different couch in the same basement and playing Sonic Mega Collection, the game that turned me into the big Sonic fan I am today. That game, specifically if there is a marathon of one of my all time favorite shows on TV that I can switch from game to cable and back. Well, we had a weird CRT with radio, so press the button twice for game or whatever else you had plugged in, but that was a very minor thing. Happened once during a pokemon marathon middle of the day middle of summer vacation and never again since.
Definitely a tie between those for me. I don’t necessarily try to reach that high because I know I’ll never be able to recreate it unless I can find those exact couches, design wise, those exact TV models, and buy my childhood house and remodel it to make the basement look exactly like I remember it. That, or get a replica that is uncannily close to my memories.
- Comment on Motion sensors in high-performance mice can be used as a microphone to spy on users, thanks to AI — Mic-E-Mouse technique harnesses mouse sensors, converts acoustic vibrations into speech 6 days ago:
From the fact that DS is retro and my bag thing came with a DS even before DSi was out or from my essentials?
The essentials are lightweight and barely add anything to the overall weight of my bag.
Can’t help if the DS carrying case thing makes you feel old, if it’s that. It’s just an old thing I have from my original DS that I ended up breaking as a kid.

I wouldn’t have a clue about any of that since the last time I used a macbook was over a decade ago, so I’ll take your word for the quality.

Then maybe I’m a masochist because my laptop bag basically always has a little old DS bag thing where I store my USB hub and USBs, with my wireless trackball mouse always right next to it. I consider those essentials to my workflow.

Forgot steam devices have trackpad. Yeah, can’t speak for the steam controller track pad, but the steam deck one is like the only exception to the rule.

Now I need to know whether or not they did this testing with trackball mice. Hopefully they’re safer from these types of attacks.

What kind of masochist would ever want to use a trackpad? Nothing against people who actually do, but I absolutely HATE trackpads because I have had a long history of not having a good time with them.
- Comment on YSK: Little Free Library is a group that promotes local access to books on a more micro level, to build a stronger community of readers across the world 1 week ago:
I have seen a few of those around in my city and even some version of it at the college I attend. I wholeheartedly think these are great, so long as people don’t abuse them. I’ve never seen one being abused here, but I can guarant in some regions it has already been abused.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 week ago:
For the most part, majority of my music is locally stored across my phone, desktop, and laptop. I’ve got a small growing collection of CDs as well.
For a bunch of stuff I listen to ( mainly vocaloid in this case ), I cannot get an official CD, so best I can do is download them off yt.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 2 weeks ago:
I cannot think of anything outside of the not so humble Australian cunt for single words. That or LLMbecile ( one I heard here ).
Though, when talking to others, a classic “Mr. Rodgers would be disappointed in you.” is always an option.

- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a huge deal. It also gives a little more to the dev, so in the end I don’t mind.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 2 weeks ago:
If I had remembered this was coming, I might have waited a little bit to see if Maze Mice was gonna be on sale. Either way, nothing I’m desperately craving to buy, so I’ll probably see if any of the games on my wishlist go on sale for a good deal

Ever since getting a copy on Steam and not being able to bring my save over, I have found that my win ratio is 0. It was never high to begin with, but it’s cratered with 0 wins.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Dev Gearbox Asks PC Gamers to Wait 15 Minutes for Shaders to Compile in the Background While Playing After Reports Indicate Recent Update Causes Stuttering - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, in the 15 minutes it takes to see if changing the setting caused any performance issues, I can easily just boot up Maze Mice and get through roughly 2 rounds with zero complications whatsoever. No need to change any settings from default or wait absurd lengths of time just to play a game without stuttering and other performance issues.
Also, your game is piss poorly optimized if you can’t get shader compiling working properly without tanking your experience in game.
- Comment on Finally got a Gensis (Megadrive) after years of wanting one! 3 weeks ago:
I wish I had a CRT for the one I got back in 2020. Genesis/mega drive, in my opinion, is such a cool system… at least the first model design. Love the ability to plug in a pair of headphones and play games without bothering anybody in the middle of the night.
As for games, I’m pretty basic because absolutely I love 4 out of the 5 Sonic games I got on here: Sonic 1-3 and 3D Blast/3D: Flickies Island. Spinball is the frustrating one ( mostly due to me sucking at it and the controls not being as fluid as the original trio, IMO ). Though, not including those, my next favorite would be the only other title I have but haven’t played much of: ToeJam & Earl.
As for phaser gun, no idea because I have no idea what games even use it, let alone how many. Could be cool to keep as a collectors thing, kind of like how I have some official controllers that don’t really work and I can’t use. Or it could bring in a little money if you don’t want to go overboard on spending more just to get any other things you might need/want for the console. No idea how much that phaser could bring in, but even a percentage of what you bid being brought back into your pocket is money saved, as I see it.

Was wondering what which city. As soon as I saw which city, Bellingham, I was immediately disappointed. Moreso than I already am with them.
- Comment on Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds 3 weeks ago:
I don’t have the money and much equipment for it, but I’m a little bit of one. Ever since I got a pretty damn good quality pair of bluetooth headphones last Christmas, I have absolutely wanted nothing more than to use them on everything because sound quality is divine.
I crave high quality sound because I listen to music and videos way too much for my own good.

The fact that, if I remember correctly and it’s true, that tardigrades can survive absolute zero temperature is insane. I don’t know any other living thing that could survive that cold of weather.

- Comment on Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, 100GB is already 80GB over my allotted games software download maximum. Any game over 20GB, more likely less, if I wanna accept the download, because I need that space for a million other things, is more than enough for any optimized game.
Maybe if these freaks just actually tried optimizing ( or at least letting the devs do their job instead of micromanaging every single second of their lives ) instead of being mentally deficient people, they could make a game at a reasonable storage needed amount.
