Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 29, 2023, 07:29:18 PMI played Andro Dunos on the Neo Geo. I just ran across this on Amazon:
Andro Dunos 2 - Nintendo Switch
Has anyone else looked into this game? If so, what are your thoughts. It was never my favorite, but I'm a shmup addict.
Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Hopefully they'll be mitigated soon.

PC Gaming and Platform Discussions - Steam, Battle.net, UPlay, Origin, Etc / Dead Man’s Draw
Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 29, 2023, 12:17:53 PMDead Man's Draw is not a new title... but I have played it for years now.
It's a simple pirate themed card game that changes based on traits equipped by the computer opponent and yourself. It has pretty good action sounds and addictive music. It's not a super complicated card game. I've enjoyed playing it quite a bit over the years.
Have any of you played Dead Man's Draw?

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: Getting my hands dirty wit...
Last post by CreepinDeth - May 28, 2023, 08:17:52 PMThis topic has been really tempting me to get one. I actually needed a new budget laptop for work purposes and unfortunately need Windows for VPN software. Settled for an Acer Aspire 5.
I plan to kind of treat it as a chromebook. Do everything through the Google Suite and leave the internal storage clear of files as much as I can. I love Google Sheets. It's gotten to the point that Microsoft Excel (although much more powerful) feels bloated to me.
@retro junkie Let us know how the Wacom works. Would be good to see a cheaper alternative to an iPad/iPad Pro.

Last post by retro junkie - May 27, 2023, 03:06:38 PMThere is definitely a big difference in the performance of the ASUS over the Lenovo. The ASUS has an Intel Celeron 64bit CPU vs the Arm8.2 32bit Lenovo CPU.
I can see the ASUS as a business Chromebook and the Lenovo for the classroom. Just the styling and build alone gives me those feels.
I really like and enjoy the Google Office suite. I was working on some spread sheets today and it seemed, to me, to be more user friendly than Microsoft Office.

Last post by retro junkie - May 26, 2023, 10:40:41 PMMy Chromebook Journey
There is definitely a learning curve in using a Chromebook, and I am still learning.
I guess I have committed myself to the ChromeOS ecosystem. I found this refurbished ASUS 17.3" Chromebook on eBay, the ASUS Chromebook CX1700CKA-DH44. The seller has a bunch of them, still selling them too. They are manufacturer refurbished with a 2 year warranty. I looked it up and found out that this model was released last year, and it is supported until June 2030. At $99 with free shipping & handling, I couldn't resist. This is a good deal. I received mine today. You might as well say they are brand new condition.
One big plus is that I have a drawing tablet, ONE by Wacom, that works with the ChromeOS. I even was able to install Krita the drawing program that I use.
I helped my Wife to set-up the Lenovo Chromebook today for her to use. I need this ASUS 17.3" screen. The size of the built-in eMMc hard drive is really irrelevant when you can simply add whatever you want with a flash-drive, SD, or an external SSD. Which at some point I will do. It will be fairly inexpensive to just add a 256g micro-SD to the ASUS, which has a 64g eMMC.

Last post by retro junkie - May 24, 2023, 03:37:36 PMI haven't yet. It is on my "to do" list.
We still do not have a local theatre.
DIsney+ will need to put it up for viewing.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 24, 2023, 12:26:22 PMNo one else saw this?
It's crazy to think The original Guardians of the Galaxy was released in 2014... time sure went fast. I remember watching the original like it was yesterday and we went with the original movie crew (now everyone has moved away). lol... man time sure goes fast
@Grindspine @mastermario @SpartanEvolved (et all).

General Discussion / Re: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quan...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 24, 2023, 12:24:22 PMI really like the movie. The Darren part was sort-of weird... it was funny... but it was a bit weird. I agree with what you thought... I sort-of thought the same things. At the same time, I wasn't sure where they were going with the movie.
There were a few other parts I thought didn't make a lot of sense... but I figured that followed along with the Quantum Realm being an odd place.
Implications are massive for sure....

Last post by CreepinDeth - May 21, 2023, 06:38:38 PMFinally saw it this weekend. Overall, on its' own, it felt like the worst of the Ant-Man trilogy but the implications for the MCU are MASSIVE! Definitely required viewing just because of that. And just to be clear, I don't think it's a horrible movie, just a little weak. I think the dialogue was a little rough and a lot of it fell flat for me but it still had some really good moments.
