Plain marshmallows on their own are fine.

Hands down absolutely nothing worse than peeps. They somehow manage to make twizzlers taste like ultra gourmet candy.

  • Some Pokemon ROM hacks where the difficulty spikes were not too harsh

There are definitely some good pokemon fangames on PC that aren't super difficult from what I remember.

  • Pokemon Hidden Place ( Spanish fan game with English translation IIRC )
  • Pokemon Bizarre ( another Spanish/maybe Portuguese ( I don't fully remember ) one with English translation ). Has some memes here and there but it's manageable.

Most other fan games I could think of are either too long, have a good amount of difficulty, or have some sort of QOL thing preventing me from recommending it.

They're gonna be in my backlog for a while, but earlier I got Kerbal Space Program 1 ( with DLC ) all for less than $15USD before tax and the Steins;Gate visual novel for something like $3.99 before tax. Would have gotten S;G Zero as well, but I am low on funds as of now.

I personally think smaller scale 2000s collect-a-thon games like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger hold up pretty well. Never knew that specific series existed until maybe a year or two ago and I gotta say, it's pretty good and runs real smooth on Dolphin on my Steam Deck ( and coincidentally better than the legitimate PS2 copy I have ).

I personally also think the PS2 Star Wars Battlefront games still hold up well enough. Love the lack of monetization and lack of online play because I hate competitive play as a more casual player.

Those games are definitely pass my recommendation checklist due to the amount/quality of content, and/or replayability level.

Another couple games that pass that checklist would be Final Fantasy X ( I never finished it, but had been enjoying it all the way ) and Sly Cooper 1 ( due to the time trials for each non-boss level adding a good amount of challenge and length ). Both on PS2.

Favorite and least favorite strategy games: Shogi

No real reason. Just something I picked up one day out of boredom on mobile and really liked. It's also my least favorite because I suck at it and sometimes make really dumb mistakes.

Favorite chance game: basically anything where there's a roll of the die, a swish of a card turning over, or a clip of a coin. I love randomness, so I don't have a problem with games of chance if I'm not betting anything.

Least favorite: gonna have to agree with OP on this one.

I may hate Sintendo for their practices, but anybody willing to steal from local libraries immediately go to the top of my list of people to hate.

Had to do a quick conversion search to make sure roughly how much that would be, and I could have a day like the fairly recent day I bought a pawn shop acoustic guitar, pack of picks, and a guitar stand maybe around 10 times.

I could also, probably, head over to a CD shop I really like and buy probably close to 100 CDs ( probably much less than 90 because tax, but that's still a lot ).

I could go to an electronics shop and get their opinion and help on upgrading my desktop motherboard, alongside upgrading to a used, few years older ( probably 2020-21 because I don't do much that would kill it ) model graphics card if I could find a good one somewhere like eBay.

I could try to collect a physical copy of every single non-arcade, launched in America Sonic game on console. Console not included for some of them because they're too expensive or I don't care about them for the case of anything past xbox360 or ps3. Though, I imagine the Master System titles would be pretty expensive, so IDK how that would go.

Either that, or I would love to cheap out and just pay some people who are willing to do a copyright infringement by making some Tails plushies based on his SatAM/Adventures cartoon design/personality. Would probably be a lot cheaper and just as cool. Fulfills my hobby of having a ton of plushies/stuffed animals and be Sonic related, so bonus points to me.

I could wait for the next Steam sale and get tons of games to add to my backlog but never actually get around to. Even with my somewhat picky nature, I'm fairly certain I'd find tons of games to purchase.

I could probably get even better headphones than my already pretty good quality beats to really up my music listening. Pair that with a pretty good audio playback device and I'd be in heaven... or accidentally make myself deaf and wanna die.

I could get the remaining manga from the Bakuman series I like and, depending on price and volumes, probably get the remainders of Soul Eater ( I think I've only got maybe volumes 1-2 ).

I could buy a metric ton of snacks and foods from a nearby import store and an Asian market.

Hell, I could probably take a couple lessons for that guitar I bought so that way I can learn the proper way to play.

Edit:

I could also expand my dice collection and playing card collection. I would love to have a ton of decks of cards. Especially some ones where the cards are different shapes, like these little leaf shaped cards I currently own.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I think these manosphere "men" should be put in daycare. They're clearly not mentally old enough to be adults, so maybe making "dude daycares" for them wouldn't be the worst thing on the planet.

GG! Easy match! If the players are anything like the actual software, they're slow, extremely unresponsive when you need anything critical done, and will crash out of the lobby before the game ends.

Since I am an absolute idiot who doesn't know what happened back then in order to rake in money off of things like betting ( either legal or illegally ), probably just ( assuming I have 'em ) listen to CDs on my CD player and hop on computer and hope I have any good games.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

I haven't seen it in years, so I could be misremembering things, but The Golden Girls.

 

Less than $15USD for all of it. Only $3.99 for Oblivion and $2.99 a piece for the CDs.

Luck be what luck is and luck was good.

 

Steam deck (LCD model) will, at no point, turn on unless plugged into charger or hooked up to the dock, regardless of how much battery is left. No response when trying to do things like booting into bios or anything else. Works perfectly fine when plugged in, docked to TV or standalone. No feedback at all, either, from buttons or trackpad haptics either when unplugged.

I've done a bios/firmware reset thing while plugged in and let that go for a while, following the advice of a Steam community forum (not sure whether the blinking power indicator thing is supposed to stop blinking when it's done, but I definitely let it go for longer than the forum post was saying). Went through the process of going through and enabling the main channel OS updates as well through dev settings and updating didn't fix it.

Have taken the backplate off and everything looks fine (I'm not an expert on mechanical things, though) and thankfully no spicy death pillow.

Any advice? At this point I'm even willing to back up anything important and do a factory reset if I have to. Also, if need be, I have a photo of the internals just in case I need to show it (again, not good with electronics on the hardware side of things).

 
 

Item was $4.50 for a used CD and checkout surprised me with this incredible deal! How could I say no to adding $99.99 on to the total?!?! /s

 

Mostly asking because I've never used these before due to never needing to. That, and I have a few old disc based PC games that I'd love to be able to straight up boot without the game disc. These are games I could just pirate, but I figure I already own them in disc, so I'd rather see if there are any reputable places with no-disc patches. The places I've looked in the megathread don't have what I'm looking for.

Closest they have is either a link to the game on another platform in the case of My Abandonware due to it being sold, or a link to just straight up pirate the full thing in the case of Magipack Games. I've also done some digging on the Internet Archive but have yet to yield results (probably because I suck at finding things there). Still gonna keep looking there, but any helpful info would be much appreciated.

I don't think I can share the game names, even in DM, due to the rules here, so site mainpages are my best shot.

 

I've never ripped CDs or DVDs before for any reason and am curious how this works since I have some stuff I wanna see about backing up but am nervous about ruining the disc. I've tried looking this up, but every time I do, I obviously am searching for the wrong thing because I have never found the info I'm looking for.

 

Linux noob. Just got a pair of Skull Candy Push Active XT bluetooth earbuds. They pair just fine with my setup but no sound comes through them. I found many different posts on various forums and nothing helped.

Using the inxi command I pulled some info I think might help, if it's needed. (I don't know if any of this is needed to help fix this issue. I've only been using MX for a little over a week and have never really done a lot of under the hood Linux maintenance before, but am more than willing to learn to fix this issue). If there is sny other information needed, I'm willing to edit this with any of that information, if I can find it.

Got a copy of Borderlands (EU iso) from the r/ROMS megathread and found out there is securom verification (which I have absolutely no experience with) as part of the installation process.

Closest I have found to a solution to bypass so far after some brief searching was one "Generic Securom 7/8 by Virusek" off of the "LOSTFILESARCHIVE" github page, which leads to a 404 page (even on the wayback machine).

Are there any programs or patches you would recommend to bypass this god awful drm?
