Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Nintendo 3DS - What a Craz...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 25, 2026, 12:28:41 PM@Grindspine --> It definitely was cool on Mario Kart 7 (I have a lot of fondness for this 3DS Mario Kart), Metroid 2, OOT and MM. Animal Crossing had some neat aspects to this as well.
@retro junkie those are awesome 3DS consoles. I have the Blue one as well. I believe that was Gamestop exclusive? Maybe not... but I remember going in to Gamestop and picking up another 3DS lol. I'll post up a picture of my 3DS (not XL) Zelda that came with Ocarina of Time.
The 3DS was an awesome platform... I have the same "strong feelings" for the 3DS. I had a lot of good times ... especially multiplayer with my son. When I would drop him off at school... we would play Mario Kart DS (and I believe 7) here and there just having fun before he went into school. We played Animal Crossing New Leaf a lot... amongst other games. I had the pleasure of being able to play 1 awesome night of Zelda Triforce heroes with my Son and 1 other random person that was trying to play online... It was one in a many chance that occurred because so many people weren't playing anymore.
Why did you like the system so much? Same for you Grind?

General Discussion / Mortal Kombat at the Olympics
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 22, 2026, 05:56:57 PMLOL did anyone see this? I only saw it because it was a top story on one feed. It looks like they did a Mortal Kombat Skating routine... with original 2 Unlimited Mortal Kombat song.

2 Unlimited was a highly regarded Techno style group back in the early 90's. Here's the original:
IMO... it was pretty cool they did this at the Olympics. It was cool to hear 2Unlimited again as well... it's been a long time.
What do you think? Thoughts, comments, post it up!

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: AI Cleared out Western Dig...
Last post by CreepinDeth - February 20, 2026, 09:49:21 PMThese days, I definitely recommend even just having a 1TB spinning hard drive in your system. I use mine as my download drive.
If I have anything to download, then it goes there. That way I'm not wasting write cycles on my NVME drive. This should help it last longer.
Also, if you like to record any game sessions, I would also put recordings there. Depending on how you setup OBS, or other recording software, the files can eat up a lot of write cycles. I'm not sure if this is fine for streaming though. I don't stream so I can't say for certain using an HDD wouldn't hurt your performance.
If a file is something that I would like to keep permanently, then I'll make a copy on my SSD.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 20, 2026, 03:44:09 PMQuote from: Grindspine on February 18, 2026, 09:53:23 PMI snagged a 6TB WD Black 7200 RPM spindle drive for mass storage and a WD Black nvme drive (technically now under the Sandisk name) for my new PC just in time.
@Grindspine - Yeah you did... I'm not sure the 7200 RPM drives will have stock issues... but that NVME... I wouldn't doubt that's going to get hit hard.
I really don't want to see a 4-5x on NVME pricing as well as RAM. That's going to be insane... INSANE. I'm glad I just happened to snag my more powerful gaming laptop last September 2025. I was going to balk and wait until this year. I'm glad I pulled the trigger ... lucky really.
