Just use duckstation to emulate MGS1. You can have the original 320p image if you want, or use the wide-screen hack, perspective correction (no warping polys) and texture packs for a more modern experience. Why people pay for these half arsed shitty emulation collections is beyond me.

Jabbawacky ,

Yeah, and with duckstation it doesn’t even need work if you use the controller/bigscreen UI. Press menu, video, and check the options you want. Done.

Jabbawacky ,

Yep. I’m moving this month and not renewing.

The New 8bitdo Retro Keyboard shipped early. Small-ish Male Hand for scale. (midwest.social)

I can try to answer any questions, but it doesn’t seem like the 8bitdo Ultimate software is availible for download yet. Im not big into mechanical keyboards, this is actually my first, so I don’t have much direct comparison experience to other keyboards....

Jabbawacky ,

Same, plus no UK ISO layout options.

Jabbawacky ,

Yep, it’s just a bit frustrating really. All they need to do is throw in some extra keycaps into the box.

I just cannot do ANSI. there is no reversing 30 years of muscle memory.

Edit: I mean, I can do ANSI. and other layouts - I have an original Famicom keyboard I love. But for daily use, especially work…no.

I was shown it by a mate, along with soulseek, in like, 2006 or so when in sixth form. It was way better than what I was using at the time (IE)

At least that’s what I remember, pretty sure that was the date. I remember soulseek was before by a bit actually as we used it for trading At the Drive In and Mars Volta tracks

I’ve carried on using it because of plugins, adblocks, privacy, etc.

I’m the biggest Xenoblade geek around - what the fuck at your later part (not at you). If you mean Future Redeemed, that is absolutely 100% tying up the entire trilogy (and also tying in Gears/Saga/X as much as Takahashi could do), and yes - there are multiple monados (A’s, Alpha’s). Shulks is a replica, but the other two are literally split from Ontos’ original. Matthew’s gauntlets are also arguably a Monado too, powered by the Pneuma core, and I would also argue that N’s sword of the end is also a Monado, based on the Logos core.

I had enough with the Xenoblade community back when XB3 launched and the usual culprits who also run the wiki absolutely laughed anyone out of the room who suggested those statues in the city were of Shulk and Rex. I mean, the descriptions and look made it obvious to anyone with a brain (and FR proved yes, it was them) - but no, these things have to be spelled out in black and white and made 100% obvious apparently otherwise it can’t be true. It’s sad, frustrating, and goes against the entire philosophy of the series.

Jabbawacky ,

I can’t stand listening to them. 99% of people doing these videos, any videos, on YouTube have no concept or idea of how to actually talk properly to an audience. I don’t want to have to skip through someone fucking mumbling in an indecipherable accent to find what I need.

Give me written instructions/guides. It’s faster, I can re-read easily at my own pace (fast!) and I don’t get annoyed by someone’s nasally voice. Yes I’m an older one too.

Jabbawacky ,

As long as they don’t mess with his lines in the eventual RE5 remake.

complete global saturation!!!

Jabbawacky ,

Age of consent is 16 here in the UK bro

He’s still a cunt

Jabbawacky ,

There’s no defence here, just correcting someone who seems to be defaulting to the USA law

I literally said brand is a cunt in my comment, what more do you want me to say? That he’s a total cunt? He’s still a rapist regardless if this is all true.

Jabbawacky ,

Oh

In that case sorry dude

Jabbawacky ,

It’s so obviously fake, yet exactly the kind of thing my mum would see on Facebook and believe.

Jabbawacky ,

Yep. I’ve played many similar nonogram games where I’ve realised there are multiple solutions - which means it’s not been properly planned or tested. Broken, basically.

I’ve never had that issue with picross, a series I’ve been playing since the GB original in the 90s.

Jabbawacky ,

Making mix tapes and later mix-cds too. Best way of sharing music back then.

Wish I still had all of mine

Jabbawacky ,

People forgot about the similar pandemic in 1919 or so. Everything repeated, including the anti-vaxxers.

So yes it will happen again and again. As will war, and everything else shit yet inherent in human nature.

Jabbawacky ,

Well, I saw [email protected] was US only. So I blocked it.

That’s pretty much the extent of my involvement in moaning/bothering about politics here.

Jabbawacky ,

Local co op games never left, as long as you have a Nintendo console or a pc to emulate up to and including Switch.

Jabbawacky ,

Wtf. What the fucking fuck?

My medications, and I have a lot (migraine prevention - zolmipitran), are covered by the NHS standard prescription charge. £12 I think. I get them delivered to my door. If I had leukemia, that med would be the same price, same capped £ figure. Inhalers and insulin meds - same price.

£12 is nothing nowadays. And if you are unemployed or on benefits, or not an adult, you get them free.

Best of luck to you, but seriously what the fuck at your country

Jabbawacky ,

Fuck the fucking fuck right off with that fucking shite.

I have limited time on this earth and I am not spending a second of that intentionally eating bloody insects. Jesus fuck.

Jabbawacky ,

I think in this case specifically, it was due to the threats and shit that were being thrown towards the judge and jury by the church of Scientology. The sentence is to send a full message to the church that no, you fucks cannot get away with these things anymore.

I’m glad he’s been put away, not just for the rapes, but the murder of Cedric Bixler-Zavala’s dog (from ATDI/Mars Volta. Masterson raped his wife, and two of Cedric’s dogs were poisoned after she came forward).

And from the article, way lazier than I thought it would be. He’s just got an Analogue Pocket and he’s running it through the dock via HDMI. I have an analogue pocket and a Game Boy Camera. I could, and have done this. I used to do this back in the early 00s with a SNES, Super Game Boy and a video capture card during the MSN messenger days!!!

I was expecting him to actually have something cool and technical, like wiring up proper video out to a Game Boy, but no. Just a hipster writing as if a million people haven’t already done the exact same thing.

Edit: fwiw I have actually added a native video out, VGA and composite to a stock DMG game boy before. Used a bennvenn board with a cpld. Maybe I was the true hipster all along

Jabbawacky ,

Then the iPad is waaaaay behind everyone else. Like, 20 years.

Jabbawacky , (edited )

I just use Yuzu rather than my switch. Can’t beat 4k60fps+

Jabbawacky ,

? I buy all my games and rip them using my launch Switch. I then enjoy playing them in 4k60fps instead of using the dock, with the saves synced via wifi so I can go back to handheld after.

Emulation does NOT = piracy for fucks sake.

Jabbawacky ,

??

Of course they are. Because - you can buy the fucking things second hand or lend them to people!

Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun?

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

Xenoblade 1 is over a decade old and launched on the Wii. While it is an important game, and was mind-blowing at launch, the sequels surpassed it imo.

Skip 2 and go straight to 3. The gameplay is a combination of both titles and the battle system is FUN. By the end, you’re changing classes, 7 team members at once in battle - switching between them at will, 12 arts available to each member at once, chain attacks and transformations into massive mech-like beings called Ouroboros where you can really fuck shit up. If you install the rebalance mod it’s even better, battles are fast and if you don’t keep up you can get fucked over quite bad. Or you can just go YOLO and just punch things with the fighter class loaded up with attack gems.

The story is very strong (endless war between two nations where the lifespan is only ten years (born at 10, die at 20), and your life is replenished by taking others) with some incredible voice acting from the UK cast, the world feels alive - full of warring factions and roaming armies, and the quests all actually mean something now (help any colony and you gain their leader as a computer played party member, as well as their class and weapon that you can assign to other team members and level up through use). The game runs a dream on a good Yuzu setup in 4k 60fps too.

The great thing about Xenoblade is that you can arguably play the main games in any order and still enjoy the full story. XB2 is super horny, has a fucking terrible menu system and has a lot of it’s own issues, despite it still being a very very good game. But there’s a reason Xenoblade 3 was nominated for Game of the Year at the game awards, you know.
