General Discussion / Re: Happy Birthday Retro Junki...
Last post by retro junkie - March 13, 2025, 04:36:34 PM@BLUEVOODU how do they pick something out for my birthday? 
At one time many years ago they started asking for a list of the things that I would like to have, being that they wanted to get me something that would be awesome, to me, I guess. So I make out these lists ahead of time for them. I do not intend for it to be so much video gaming stuff, but they know I really like that kind of stuff. I make a large list, so that, I cannot guess what they got me. I have named the list,"That horrendous gift list, 2025!"
Talking about how old something is, I was playing a new homebrew game cart for my Gameboy Pocket, and suddenly I realized just how old my Gameboy Pocket was......................

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Getting my hands dirty wit...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 12, 2025, 07:08:34 PM@retro junkie man... I lost track of this post again. That's great you have it working... and these days, I will say you have more patience than me lol.
That's awesome it's working again. Good deduction as well to the problem. so... still thinking of Linux as your daily driver like @CreepinDeth ?
I have been using a MacBook lately as a daily driver. I should make a topic on this. TLDR, some life events happened recently... so I'm working with this right now. I can say, I am able to use Linux, Windows OR MacOS for my daily driver LOL. Still not 100% on the iPad... if it had visual studio code capabilities (without haven't to do it remotely...), I think the iPad would have a potential to take over some tasks. I was using the iPad integrated with AWS Cloud9... but they have since decided to kill the service. I still have access, but it will eventually go away. Therefore, I'm looking for something else.

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / One of the coolest levels - Sa...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 12, 2025, 11:32:21 AMI was talking with @targetrasp a couple weekends ago... and was reminiscing on a few mind blowing games. Essentially... it's been a very long since a game REALLY immersed or blew my mind. I think the last game was the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. That experience was pretty crazy.
While it's not super mind-blowing in the same way, this level is absolutely awesome. The level "Beat the Heat" is from Sackboy for the PlayStation 5 (PS5). Sackboy is a platformer style game. The Song played is Jungle Boogie by Kool and the Gang. The song is looped in a very awesome way to match up to actions in the level. The effects are matched to the groove of the song. For example, fireballs in different parts of the level are shot to the beat of the music. I was in awe of the stage... it's one of the coolest I've seen in a long time. And the song... it's just an epic song.
Check this level out below:

General Discussion / Re: Walmart & Best Buy-No more...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 12, 2025, 11:20:49 AMWe still visit a Best Buy here and there. It's usually just to pick up a controller or something. We used to go here and there to check out the steel book collections LOL. Yes... I'm steel book junkie 
As far as the Switch, I swap the games out and don't really care. I get the convenience of digital in that scenario... it makes sense. But, I still want the physical media and just get up to change the game out. The only difficulty in my case is finding the game case... lol.
We also visit GameStop's a few times a year (at least) to check out what's there. There are times they have old retro games... and it's cool to check in on some of their gear. I've found some cool steelbook finds and other things by randomly visiting (though we have had many busts on the visits as well). It's just fun to visit.
CD's - I do what I can to get both the mp3 and CD versions. It is harder to keep all the physical CDs... but even more-so, media players are disappearing. IE on computers, laptops... etc. Forget it on iPads or other mobile devices where MP3 prevails... for logical reasons.
The thing I don't like about streaming services and digital distribution styles... they can remove content forever. I know they can remove a product from shelves, but if you buy it (have the money to buy it)... you don't have to worry about that EXCEPT the player for that media - which I question its existence over the next few years. We will see.

General Discussion / Re: Binge-Watching Shows - 202...
Last post by mastermario - March 12, 2025, 09:55:49 AMQuote from: mastermario on February 22, 2023, 08:43:02 PMLet's see...lately (last 6 months or so) I've watched:
- Wednesday
- Jack Ryan
- Jack Reacher
- Tulsa King
- Mayor of Kingstown
- Upload
- Yellowstone/1883/1923
- Andor/Obi-Wan
- She-Hulk
- Better Call Saul
- Severence
- Peripheral
- Welcome to Wrexham
I guess after putting it in writing, maybe I watch too much TV.
Updates -
Reacher Season 3 is good except they have a British actress attempting a Boston accent (why?) and it's so bad it's distracting.
Need to watch Severance season 2.
Every season of Tulsa King is great.
Welcome to Wrexham is still good.
Any Star Wars show since this last post sucked.
Cobra Kai final season was solid as well.
