@BLUEVOODU Cuphead is for masochists. I dig difficult games, Cuphead is something beyond.

This is a great description of Cuphead, @targetrasp.  There's probably no better way to explain it.  We are trying to platinum trophy the game and are getting somewhat close.  I think 1 level left on Expert.  Fighting the Devil, the Mermaid lady, the robot and the crow (bird) are the worst on expert LOL

PC Gaming and Platform / Re: Brotato - Have you played?

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 12:06:56 PM

I've been enjoying the game quite a bit. The game play is pretty simple but the massive amounts of weapons, items, and characters make the game. Finding out what synergizes and the God-like scaling when a good build gets completely broken by some RNG keeps me coming back.

I agree!  We need to play this again soon, @targetrasp.  I need to figure out the builds a bit better.  We were rolled on one of the games LOL.  I had an issue with my build and never seemed to get the items I really needed. 

Might need to research the builds a bit more.

PC Gaming and Platform / Re: Battlefield 6

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 11:46:15 AM

I'm awful at battlefield and get frustrated with it quickly. I even purchased the Battlefield Edition Xbox one S when it game out and might have played that version once.

I understand this frustration @targetrasp ... I really do. There will be games where I do pretty well... then there will be MANY MORE games where I cannot seem to do anything or get anything done (always wrong place and wrong time).  I still enjoy the game... it's just really frustrating when you're constantly getting killed and fast.

Cloud Gaming / Re: Status of Cloud Gaming - 2...

Last post by trkorecky - March 17, 2026, 09:05:27 PM

I have experience with Xbox Cloud and Stadia. I played a few minutes of Forza Horizon on Xbox Cloud and was not impressed, latency was terrible even on a controller.

Stadia was great though. I played some Assassin's Creed Odyssey when it was Project Stream, and I shipped a game on it. They really cared about latency and it showed, gaming was actually pretty viable there. It also worked out super well during pandemic development as QA could click a link and play the game instantly. Unfortunately Google was Google, so they shut the service down.

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: AI Cleared out Western Dig...

Last post by targetrasp - March 16, 2026, 09:57:26 PM

was wondering what was going on, was looking for some larger Seagate drives to add to an SSD raid array and amazon didn't have much.

I figured AI would take over the world something akin to Skynet, instead it's going all Sun Tzu on us - victory is more than battle tactics - its logistics and sustainability of resources.

Last post by retro junkie - March 16, 2026, 10:52:45 AM

I tried to get into this series back when I was working, but it required too much of my time. I haven't tried it since I have been retired. Need to put that on the list. I have it for the 3DS and the Wii U.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Region Free N64!!!

Last post by retro junkie - March 14, 2026, 12:52:11 PM

Well I decided today was the day. I have been meaning to convert my main N64 into being region Free. I have had the plastic piece to do the trick since last year sometime.

Off with the old original.....

On with the new region Free.......

The nubs above those holes matched the game cart that they wanted you to use with this console.

Works great!!

I wasn't thinking when I ordered the part. I should have ordered the milky clear-ish part, but, it really looks okay. A non issue with me now that it is done. The new part does not have any nubs to restrict what carts you can use with the console. It gives me the freedom to use only one console and not have to switch back and forth.
