So is Xbox just dead? "Out of stock" in the biggest retailer in Iceland (and I can assure it's not because it's selling like hot cakes)

But biking games are always lame so eh.
ew, not transform into a bike.   morphball with a "speed" powerup.   the original metroid prime already had a "boost ball" powerup.  just needed to extend that to long distances.

This will be kind of insulting.

I played like 20 minutes of Lords of the Fallen, and it gives me that feeling of like "did the devs play their own game?"

At least on a TV.

It's a little frustrating to read anything.



Bottom right corner, the square and triangle are easy to see, but R1 and R2 are kind of hard to differentiate. 

Kind of goofily on my part, when I opened up the game, it had one of those agreement things, that is only controllable with the right stick.  I was expecting either left stick or directional buttons. But neither worked, so I became concerned that the game froze or something. 

I find it kind of frustrating when a game has a bunch of button combos, especially when they're hard to read.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Oct 10, 2025, 09:23 PMMy friend wanted to make a PC, so I've been looking at prices and stuff.

Prices are stupid

PC cases are even stupider. 
Just get a cheap bad case. Don't be like my brother. He cares about what his pcs LOOK LIKE!

Quote from: kitler53 on Oct 10, 2025, 04:36 PMSo in one of my posts i said this:

 "all this trailer did for me was tell me that the developers have no f'ing clue what the ethos of metroid is."
 

i thought i wrote it here but apparently not.  must just be a conversation i had with IRL people.  all i'm saying is going as far back as super metroid you could get a "speed booster" power up for the suit.  prime 4 could have easily added a "speed ball" form that allows samus to race though open desert areas in her morph ball and be consistent with the ethos of metroid. 

instead they went with a janky looking motor cycle.  like serious wtf am i supposed to make about the motor cycle being able to take out baddies when operated sideways?!?!
Yup if she transformed into the bike it would have been cooler.

I bought a ESR Cyber Tough Case and ESR Screen protector

For some reason cant re-size images so I'll just post my images from ResetERA

Oh that's fun with your name on the airpods.

I'll look in to better image hosting here.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Oct 10, 2025, 01:22 PMI was teaching a class and I asked my students what the new iPhone was.  I honestly thought it was 14 cause I remember watching the presser for it with my students years ago (Where they showed off RE4).  To my surprise we're at 17 now O_O
I'm impressed Apple hasn't switched to years yet. Sticking with 17 is kinda bold.

There's the old cartoon setting.  It preserves grain.  Try that.  I think it'll give the best result.

I don't have any live action with grain to test with.
