One of the only times I’ve been “happy” that I’m 40, overweight, and barred from re-enlistment/IRR/drafts.

I don’t know if your schedule supports this, but you might have better luck feeding him smaller meals more frequently! My vet said that the “ideal” schedule would be like 10 small meals a day since that would mimic how they eat in the wild but that’s pretty unrealistic for basically everyone unless you get an automatic feeder. And then they will just cuddle with the feeder instead of you lol.

At least they didn’t adopt Australian Central Western Standard Time (UTC+8:45)

Just a little murder, now and then. As a treat!

Did you have that goofy little flip-up LCD that attached to it?

I’ll admit i rarely used the machine fusing, I was just talking about the weapon inventory system. I’d just pick up sticks or whatever was around and slam the first “good enough” damage monster part I had to it and kept going. It’s a lot better IMO than having to hang onto all the good stuff and constantly be underpowered because “what if i need it for a boss?”

I gave it away years ago once dreamcast emulation became a thing, I was mostly just curious!

Primitive Technology would be so proud =)

Even with this they fall back on the god forsaken Digital Millenium Copyright Act (at least in the states). Since they encrypt the system, if you have a key from your own system then it’s assumed that you acquired it by violating the DMCA.

Seriously. They will get to it eventually, they probably just got distracted with suing the Tump administration for their tariff refunds.

do you know if there was a way to fix the Dreamcast laser? I was like 19 when mine started failing and I think I just kept turning up the voltage pot a teeny bit to fix it for a while until it eventually burned out.

None of the above, I started on the PSone.

prolly the PSone

The Switch is ARM (nvidia tegra x1) while the Deck is x86 (amd zen2?). There’s translation involved. Not saying that will guarantee a slowdown, but as @FireWire400 said, if the emulator is shit power won’t help much. My oc’ed ryzen 5600x could barely run switch BOTW at 15fps when it first released (though that was arguably still better than the experience I had on my Wii U… shudder)

PMed

edit: hint - try ‘firmware’ instead of BIOS in a search

FWIW, I think they did a much better job in Tears of the Kindgom. Your weapons still break, but you can carry around a basically endless supply of monster parts that you “fuse” to whatever base weapon you happen to come across and it makes them powerful again. Sometimes all you need is a stick to make a good weapon. Still annoying, but waaaaaay less of an inventory management sim IMO.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

Have you seen the music video he made during COVID? It’s pretty hilarious.

Robert Picardo might be the best actor on the show. I remember reading in an interview that he was a little bummed at first about getting cast as The Doctor, since he originally auditioned to play Neelix, but he quickly realized that he was actually gonna be the show’s Spock/Data/etc (which he previously assumed would go to Tim Russ). Then he really leaned into it. It’s such a great performance and he has such a great capacity to emote. On the occasions when he gets full on angry (like in Author, Author) he can be downright scary!

Quoting this from a slashfilm.com article:

Robert Picardo had a lengthy and storied acting career. He was a Joe Dante regular, appearing in “The Howling,” “The Explorers,” “Innerspace,” “The 'Burbs,” “Matinee,” and “Gremlins 2: The New Batch.” He appeared in “Star 80,” Ridley Scott’s “Legend,” the zombie cop film “Dead Heat,” and Robert Englund’s directorial debut “976-EVIL.” This was all mixed in with plentiful TV work and multiple appearances on stage.

Manual mode is so much fun! I the Thrustmaster T1600M that came with rudder pedals and a throttle, and i broke this plastic ring in the flight stick that keeps it from completely turning around when you twist it. I should have just used the rudder pedals but they kept slipping out from under me, and its hard enough to play that game in VR as it is lol.
