I've played through nearly all Metroid games. Even sort of did speed runs in Dread, getting down to 2h7min before the world record wasn't much less than 1.5 hours (before the latest methods of sink and skew...)... but I have never played the Gamecube. So I have never played Metroid Prime, even...
Japan is weird about things that are deemed "popular". Seemingly mundane things disappear off of shelves if it is featured in a TV program. One particular bottle of Suntory Whiskey (there are many) called "The Yamazaki", recently won a Best single malt whiskey (in the WORLD) award...
Looks like a lot has happened with Provenance Emu for iOS the past few weeks. Nothing much seems to have changed in Switch land since I was in Manila a while back. Only thing really catching my eye is the Bayonetta 3 release. Although... I've yet to play through the first two to this day...

Walking through Akihabara today and thought about the Yen rate right now… best (for US$) that it’s been since late 1998.
Synology 4 bay (420+) NAS
4 Toshiba 10TB 7200rpm NAS drives.
¥166,724.
Charge in USD? $1,192.06.
Just a few years ago, the rate hit 100 and even lower. I just saved better...
Out in town this time. At the current exchange rate, I’ll end up paying less than $321 for it, and it’s the one with a white dock and white joycons. Wonder when I’ll find the time for my second attempt at an install.
Slowly but surely getting my micro-soldering skills... acceptable. Unfortunately, I suck at using solder wick. After messing up my first job, and replacing my dat0 connection, I popped off the clk and cmd connections. Silly me, trying to clean up the board first, and solder got on that huge...
Ruined the first out of sheer stupidity. Never even attempted to install it. Now... I'm trying to fight the urge to attempt an install without having all of my tools yet. Still waiting for a decent PCB holder. Sure I have ways to handle it, but ordered one of these things as suggested by one of...
Damn it. 8 hours in. No watching videos or spoilers. I got stuck in the area where the crossbombs are, to I did a thing with a flash spark, or whatever it's called, and ended up getting the radar pulse and crossbombs... and now I'm stuck. The only possible path (I don't have the spin attack yet...
Experience wasn't that exciting. Not tweaking any settings and using a Nimbus controller, there was way too much lag for my liking. It seems N64 is *nearly* full speed most of the time, but controller lag even in NES games is a total deal breaker. Plays flawlessly on my iPAD pro, which I can...
Never could get it working in a VM. The pairing process, although mostly connecting over the network, uses some weird Bluetooth mode that simply is not possible in a VM. I want to see in-person these (Very few) people who say they've made it work from a VM.
Anyway, I got an Oculus Quest 2 as an...
Had to get a bigger card for my Switch. I don't put any CFW/homebrew stuff on my official card, so at the moment, 200GB is more than enough. My other 200GB card, however, is pretty much out of space. So... I grabbed a 400GB card from Newegg (the price made it much more desirable than a 512GB...

It's been so easy keeping up with console hax (although... I always seem to find out about PS3 updates elsewhere... been using CFW since the beginning, when I had to buy a USB thingy).
Anyway, I have one more deployment before I retire, and I'm going to be in the dark between ports. What's...
guys, this sounds unhinged, but someone (i forgot who) saying they'd want to make their left 4 dead team wario, samus, captain falcon and nester gave me the idea for a quick round of fuck marry kill/bed wed behead
i gotta say fuck captain falcon, because he's hot (no homo), marry samus, because she seems like good wife (or as BigOnYa says, wifey) material, and kill wario, because he can't die, so killing him won't really kill him
My state has put a heavy tax on vape juice, taxing any juice with nicotine by the weight/oz. So to get around the bs, my local vape store only sells 0 nicotine vape juices, then they also sell straight nicotine in tiny bottles, and you mix it yourself to your 0% juice, lol
