Grungie

I have, but it was one of those settings where I had to look for it, so if I was actually blind tested, I probably wouldn’t be able to A/B it properly.

That doesn’t actually improve the graphics, or fix the polygon warping that was mentioned earlier.

The PS2 literally does nothing for the visual quality of PS1 games. It doesn’t force the games into 480i, and if you use component cables, you have to go to composite mode on your TV if you pop in a PS1 game. Idk where people are getting the idea that the PS2 enhances the graphics of PS1 games.

It varies from game to game for me, and only on the Switch. The full 3D games like BOTW or Xenoblade, 10/10 experience on a big TV. The games that were made to be played with a portable in mind tend to hurt my eyes on a big screen. Something about the large UI elements and such make it rough on a big screen. Easily fixed by just playing in handheld mode tho.

That’s absolutely not true. The PS2 didn’t magically fix the texture warping on the PS1, it’s still present.

Iirc, this has been a thing for awhile, I remember being at county fairs and seeing them having COD competitions or Guitar Hero setups. One misnomer about the military (well I'm only speaking for the US military, can't speak for the others), is that just because you sign up, doesn't mean you go to war. Apparently about 10% actually see combat. A lot of the jobs are serving support functions, and a lot of desk jobs. The DoD is also pretty big in the cyber field, and not many 18 year olds can get realistic hands on experience, with actual industry recognized certifications (all paid for by the government). Most people go to college for several years, then intern, and then eventually actually get to work in a backshop. In the military, it's: "oh, you finished bootcamp, your X months training, and got your cert? Here's a multi-million network suite".

The texture warping was pretty normal on the PS1. The console lacked texture perspective correction.

The Master System was their 8 bit console like the NES. They’re kind of rare in North America due to Nintendo’s monopolistic practice that resulted in poor sales here. You'll see more Europeans talking about it, because Sega hopped over there before Nintendo had the chance to monopolize there like in Japan and North America.

I have thinks locally on my individual computers, but I also have a file server for backups, and also for things I use between computers.

I personally think it’s tacky, and the same with a lot of PC gamer design elements.

This is pretty much me in a nutshell It's technically not an allergy, but since everyone mistakenly calls it one, it's just easier to say it is. Certain ones affect me more than others, but I haven't really deciphered which ones do better or worse. I can still drink, but I don't do it often because of the body reactions. Sometimes I get red in the face very quickly, and people think I'm already hammered, and I'm only half a beer in.

Ngl, I thought you misspelled Backloggery, but then I clicked the link.

I’m allergic to alcohol

Panzer Dragoon, but also another game like Panzer Dragoon Saga.

https://backloggery.com/ Idk if this fits your situation better.

I wouldn't say I exclusively use it for gaming, but that is the majority of it's use. I prefer daily driving on my Mac.

I have both, wireless does have the slight advantage.

I own Grandia on the Saturn, but the frame rate is worse than the PS1 version.

I can still play OG Final Fantasy on the NES, but the PS1 version is significantly better. Half the game isn’t broken, and all of the spells work. The SNES remake of Megami Tensei is better than the NES version. Outside of better graphics, it has battery saves instead of using passwords.

Yeah, Panzer Dragoon Saga is one of my favs, but I don’t recommend anyone to buy a Saturn and then drop $1000 for it. It’s the one console where I own mostly imports, and modded it for burned CD’s. Not like Sega was gonna lose money on games they never re-released.

It would be pretty cool, especially since the Saturn is considered a “boutique” console with a lot of the east games locked as Saturn exclusives, and really expensive on the second hand market.

I’ve moved around a lot, and some major cities I’ve been to actually have dangerous areas, but some were “dangerous” for local standards. I noticed for more of the whitebred states, dangerous was code word for “black people live there”. One place I lived, people were scared of the side of town that had buildings built 20+ years ago, and didn’t have a Sprouts nearby.

A lot of that information is patently false. Most desktop computers and laptops ship with Windows. The exceptions are the Chromebooks, which run Chrome OS (a Chrome dedicated distro of Linux) and Apple's Mac lineup, which run MacOS (which is a Unix OS). The difference between an HP and a Dell computer is going to be what manufacturer specific software is pre-installed onto it. They usually come pre-installed with random HP, Dell, etc, software on it, but 99% of everything else is going to be Windows.

I know GameStop has some weird stuff like that for some reason. I remember seeing them do that for some 3DS games too for like Virtual Console titles, or even ones that had a real cartridge. I own a pretty good sized stack of Switch games, and the only download codes are for day one editions that have special DLC. His comment does kind of read off like this is become more frequent, but it’s either some weird GameStop shit, or I’m just not buying the games that are just download codes.

The hardest thing about building computers is the research and (if you don't have the disposable income) coughing up the money. The actual building process is really easy, and not in a "I've been doing this for several years" easy. It's building Legos, and kind of like a puzzle where if it doesn't fit, it doesn't go there, or you put it in wrong. Also don't build it on a carpet because static electricity.
