General Discussion / Re: Games, Consoles, and Updat...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 02:31:29 PM@retro junkie - I have a few thoughts. How are the contacts on the system? Could it be a corrosion issue or something else with the physical cart? Maybe it's a physical damage of some sort.
Outside that, I'm not sure it would be an update issue. I guess it could be, but the only way to know is to try to update your 3DS and to see if it works.
What are you thinking of for 1st steps? If it's a cheap game, you might be able to buy a 2nd one in and see if there is an issue with that one as well. That would or should fail if it was an update scenario (though not 100% fallible).
BTW - My original DS did play online... I played Tetris online with it... and it was a lot of fun.

A Winner Is You / Sniper Elite 4 PS4 - 100% Comp...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 11:34:40 AMWhew... Sniper Elite 4 took a long time. @targetrasp and I chipped away at it for... 6 or 7 years, I Think. This game has several trophies that 0.1-0.3% of people have accomplished. It took replay after replay... grind after grind, but we both finally 100% platinum trophied the game a short time ago.
Sniper Elite 4 was made really well... with many well executed mechanics. There were some buggy and frustrating aspects, however, it played really well.
For me, this was one of those impossible to platinum games due to the time investment. However, it is 100% done and complete! Woot woot
I believe this game is platinum trophy number 16 for me.

Last post by SpartanEvolved - Today at 10:54:20 AMNintendo is anti consumer and gamers really need to boycott them. That plus the USB C encryption and bricking consoles remotely...

General Discussion / Trying out a New Theme
Last post by BLUEVOODU - July 02, 2025, 09:02:29 PMFor the next 4-7 days... or unless it gets annoying. It has light and dark features (top left by CHICKEN DINNER GAMING COMMUNITY).
Please let me know what you think. I DO notice the smiley set doesn't look totally right as you can see the white around the images. I probably will revert to the procurve theme again until I find something "right."
Thoughts? Comments? Post it up!

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / 2024 MacBook Pro - Using it as...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - July 02, 2025, 08:21:11 PMAt some point super early this year, I ended up receiving and using a MacBook Pro 2024... and have been using it as my daily driver since January. I was asked to write a bit of a review by @CreepinDeth and @retro junkie . I can now say that I can use Windows, Linux AND MacBook (MacOS) as my daily driver without issues.
It has the Apply M4 chip - 10 Cores CPU and GPU (4 performance, 6 efficiency), 16GB memory, and 512 SSD. I am running MacOS... no changes.
It really runs many processes well. I have at least 4-5 Safari windows open with 15 (at least) tabs each and several applications. If I run something like Starcraft 2 or a game on top of the processes while on Discord, the system still works but chugs a little bit.
Overall... it handles everything well and the Apple apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Notes, TextEdit..etc) are good enough to get by with most everything you need to do except some power applications. You can do resumes and about everything else you need to do on the standard day... within good reason.
Gaming - I haven't done a ton of gaming, but it the MacBook handles games like StarCraft, Starcraft 2, Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. Diablo 4, However, is still not Mac compatible.
Where the MacBook really shines... is audio. The MacBook has amazing sound for a Laptop. I was truly blown away. Nothing will beat awesome studio monitors or other dedicated sound systems, but the audio on the MacBook is absolutely better than all other Laptops I've heard (not saying others do not exist out there).
Most of my automation, infrastructure and testing utilities are setup and works as standard... Such as AWS Cli, VS Code, Amazon Q, Terraform, GitHub and many other integrations I use for my certifications and projects (and keeping up on cloud/automation skills).
Peripherals are a little odd... but I'm working through that. Such as, I have a decent Dell docking station with thunderbolt.. and the Logitech peripherals do not work exactly like the Native Keyboard and trackpad. I didn't install software and am still working through some of those things.
If you have questions, please let me know. Thoughts... comments, Post it up!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - July 02, 2025, 08:08:34 PMI get digital games... I do. There is a time and place for them... and many find them convenient. I like physical games for many reasons, for which you can see in many other topics on Chicken Dinner Gaming
However, the cases for sale with no games inside and only codes?! Unacceptable! The case state "Game Key Card Inside." There is no game card inside... just in case you didn't get that lol. How annoying is this?!
I know @SpartanEvolved has comments on this one!
