Last post by targetrasp - March 21, 2026, 10:39:24 PMThere's been some time pass since I've attempted to play Cuphead, and when I did I was trying to play it with my kids (who were very young at the time). That may take some of the frustration out of it!

Last post by targetrasp - March 21, 2026, 10:36:57 PMhaven't touched it. I've made peace with the fact I may not make it back to Metroid ever again.

Last post by targetrasp - March 21, 2026, 10:35:17 PM@BLUEVOODU my desktop has two 8 tb drive striped but has support for 4. I was going to buy 4 matched drives and use those 8 tb drives for something else.
If parts become affordable again this desktop will get repurposed into file storage / htpc when I build or buy something more current gen.

General Discussion / Boss Monster - The Board Game
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 08:43:17 PMI saw Boss Monster by Brotherwise Games on Amazon... and it piqued my interest. I haven't been as involved with board games over the years, but something bout this one looks really cool. It could be the Super Nintendo appeal of the box lol

Cloud Gaming / Re: Status of Cloud Gaming - 2...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 02:05:33 PM@trkorecky great to hear from you! I hope all is well!
I hear you - the latency has been one of my main concerns. It can happen even with GB Internet. I have shied away from most Cloud Gaming, though I would like to try Amazon Luna as I have Prime. Their selection was a bit limited... but I'd rather see if it's a good fit and decent with latency.
As far as Google Stadium, I really wanted to try that. It was a bummer they pulled the plug. I'd love to hear about the game you shipped!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 01:45:23 PMLOL - That's a great way to put it, @targetrasp!
So far, I don't believe there's been any improvement and it appears to only be staying at the elevated price level with limited stock... or getting more expensive for certain products.
What was your SSD Raid Array project for? and which raid? Yes... nerd level please

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 01:09:55 PMQuote from: targetrasp on June 30, 2024, 08:21:23 PMSimple... Games like Faxanadu can be completed with a simple map, Metroid gets pretty insane. You've either got a great memory and sense of direction or you really put in some time, either way very admirable.@targetrasp Did you ever make it back and beat this game? lol
Still haven't finished it, I actually forgot to go back to it. I got wrapped up in a big change at work.
@Grindspine - yeah... you definitely had to put time into it to keep some of those corridors straight on the NES version. I didn't have an issue at all with the Super Nintendo or GBA versions. I did get a little lost in the Game Boy Metroid 2 Return of Samus... however, with some time, I figured it out. Part of the problem was dropping the game for many months and coming back to it.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: Region Free N64!!!
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 01:07:29 PMGreat post @retro junkie! This might be one of the easiest mods I've seen for making something region free ... outside of something already being region free.
It has been about 20 years since I've messed with any of this. I have a converter cart of some sort that I used to play the Japanese version Bangai-O for the Nintendo 64. By the way... Bangai-O is an amazing game... might need a topic on this.
At the end of the day... it's just the "nubs" that keep the region from working right? I couldn't remember. The silly things companies did. I never totally understood why they locked regions - outside some of the technical issues that could happen between some of the regions. But US / Japan, AT THE LEAST, doesn't make sense.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 21, 2026, 12:53:18 PMPokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is now on Nintendo Online for the Nintendo Switch 2. The Gamecube game player is only on the Nintendo Switch 2 at this time. I didn't really play this for the Gamecube and am not as familiar with this title. I do plan to try it out on Switch Online.
