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.

Microsoft - Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 / Re: Is the Xbox Dead?
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 20, 2026, 03:36:54 PMQuote from: XFaKToRX on February 13, 2026, 12:25:48 AMThere are so many other ways to play Xbox live now and making a console starts them in such a deep financial hole that it is questionable if it is truly worth it anymore.woot woot! Glad to see you come by MCMSOFT @XFaKToRX! I need to drop a text your way to say hi. It's been awhile again. And I 100% agree with this. Maybe they also saw the incoming pattern of RAM and Hard Drive Shortages (click those links to participate in those topics). I'm not trying to propogate conspiracy theories... but maybe they saw a trend and they said "let them fight this one out."
Quote from: CreepinDeth on February 18, 2026, 11:40:59 PMAs a platform, it's still alive. The Xbox ROG Ally is basically what the new "Xbox" will be. Pretty much a PC. You'll be able to install Steam and other game stores.@CreepinDeth --> you know... I do like this concept. Even more so as I read it again...
Quote from: Grindspine on February 19, 2026, 10:14:30 PMIMO, the 360 was an epically good console. Backwards compatibility with the OG xbox was key.@Grindspine --> My favorite Xbox was still the Halo Reach limited edition. I haven't bought XBOX anything since then. Just too much other stuff to play and not enough time anymore. My backlog reached a breaking point where I needed to really start playing older games. AND THEN... I just seem to keep playing Tetris 99 instead of other games

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 20, 2026, 03:29:45 PMSpeaking of Emojis @CreepinDeth and @retro junkie lol... Looking for suggestions on new emojis.
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/suggestions-comments-and-feedback/what-emojis-would-you-like-to-see/
Ugh @CreepinDeth ... the last thing we need is to rent hardware. There are MANY companies that do this. The company I work for leases their systems. IE my laptop is leased. You might as well be renting as leasing is a type of rent. You know... that would be crazy. Think if all of this was done just to get the hardware rental aspect moving forward...
@Grindspine --> cool call on the topic. I was meaning to get that posted:

man... that is such a gross quote. I need 10 vomit emojis as well... followed by a cry emoji because I vomited so much.

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Sony could delay PS6 release t...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 20, 2026, 03:24:25 PMWe have a few interesting topics going on right now... and interesting world situations that I might call a 1st for the gaming industry. Right now, AI is causing shortages for RAM and also hard drives. We have topics for both Ram shortages and Hard Drive Shortages (click the links to participate in those discussions).

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/sony-could-delay-ps6-release-to-2028-or-2029-as-ai-driven-shortage-sends-consumer-tech-companies-scrambling-for-memory-chips
I think it's crazy... although, I am happy the Playstation 5 will be viable for a longer period of time. That... I'm actually ok with. However, it sucks to push back the PS6 for the above reasons. I find it insane we truly are at an odd point in history and time. The disconnect with demand... just doesn't make sense to me.
What are your thoughts on the whole situation as well as the PS6 being potentially delayed? Would the delay really affect you? Thoughts, comments... POST IT UP!
