My work has finally blocked gbatemp. Category: Games

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 worse is the next job I'm shooting for will still have me out on ships... as a civilian. Sounds cake to me (compared to what I deal with now), but I will still be a slave to their network rules.

damn it.

at college (I went to a conservative christian college) they blocked chat-roulette, and this one guy on my hall got it unblocked, claiming its "the only way he can keep in contact with his family"

my school blocks it, but i just use an ssh tunnel and an open port on the school network to get past it.

Or that. I'm actually at school right now, but I leaked the password to the non-restricted teacher network, so I'm not using a VPN ;)

And if anyone from the faculty sees this... Hi. How ya doing ?

Might I say... GOVERNMENT computer? Plugins, extensions, and VPNs are out of the question. I can't install anything and can barely get a portable browser to run through the firewall. (not that portable browsers do a whole lot for me, considering the firewall logs everything anyway).

Google translate? Yea... might work, somewhat (mangles the formatting of the pages with the old ass browser versions available to me) but it complains that the site is already in English.

Locked down to shit. Baseline image for when things get hairy (virus (very rare), HDD crash, etc). That's why I'm such a fan of Acronis Trui Image on my home computer. Should anything happen to my system drive, I'll never lose more than a week of porn surf... err... data.

    @BigOnYa, and since the default emulator is below average i downloaded some "replacements" like snes9x for snes games for example
     +1
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And I also have my ps3
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
     +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
     +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
