Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 28, 2026, 08:39:14 AM@retro junkie Now that's pretty cool. I dig this - Black and White as well! That was my favorite version. From the back, it almost looks like they include the color as well lol... which imo would be cool to have both.
I have cancelled Disney+ as well. Prices went up, I was laid off last year for several months, and we recouped money from a few services. After I found a new job, we did not pick these services back up. Everyone once in awhile... we might do 1 month to binge something and then cancel because we get digital credits with prime (where you have to buy digital items). I only have Prime right now.

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Nintendo 3DS - What a Craz...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 28, 2026, 08:33:44 AMQuote from: retro junkie on February 25, 2026, 02:32:19 PMedit: and I really got into the fact that I could pull it out and take a 3D picture wherever I went. Love the camera feature on these things. Yeah I know it was poor quality, but it was still a thing.
I completely forgot about the 3D picture LOL... that was a really cool feature! This many years later, they could've made a camera and hardware to make that much better. Still... that was a very unique feature (IE I don't think I know of anything else that did it).
Remember the VR cards? We need a topic on those. That's also something of the past.
As I mentioned in the Nintendo Stops Production of the 3DS thread, I wish there was a newer smaller (thinner basically) 3DS that came out. Even the 3DS had a fairly thick shell (reminds me of a Tommy Boy quote lol
)... and a thinner shell these days could be achieved maybe with bigger improved screens. #23

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 28, 2026, 08:26:49 AMWhat about you @Mai Valentine, @targetrasp, @Kinikko ... did you ever get into the Xenoblade series?
I remember many getting into the Xenoblade series many years back. It was a highly sought after game.

PC Gaming and Platform / Brotato - Have you played?
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 28, 2026, 08:08:53 AMI recently bought Brotato on Steam and haven't played it a ton yet. @targetrasp and I were talking about breaking it out multiplayer to see if we can do achievements.
This is a run and gun style game in the same vein as Smash TV and Total Carnage... and other games of that Genre (I would consider Geometry Wars Galaxies very similar as well). You run on a "square" floor and have to avoid mobs coming at you from all directions. You end up shooting in all directions like the mentioned genre examples. There are plenty of achievements, the graphics are pretty good, music is fitting and the action is extremely smooth and satisfying. The price sits at about $4 ... or $8ish with all DLC.

Overall this is a cool game. Have you played it?
Thoughts, comments... Post it up!!

PC Gaming and Platform / Re: Revisting Left 4 Dead 2
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 28, 2026, 07:54:30 AMWe should get a session going again with @CreepinDeth @mastermario @SpartanEvolved @Grindspine @MegaDrive20XX @targetrasp and @Jack (I think was interesting)... and wondering if we could get a few others as well to get a session going.
It's been several months. I've had a lot of personal stuff since late December and time has been killed. However, It would be awesome to get a session or two of this moving forward

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 28, 2026, 07:06:04 AMI ended up picking up Kirby's return to DreamLand Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch. I got a small deal... but paid more for it than I wanted. However, I've wanted to add this to the collection for a bit

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 28, 2026, 07:02:48 AMWoot woot @SpartanEvolved - RE9... that's insane they are on 9 now. I think we played RE5 or RE6. One of them had the keyboard controls that you literally could pass the stupid staircase level. That was rage inducing.
What is awesome about RE9?

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Re: AI Cleared out Western Dig...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 27, 2026, 05:28:21 PM@CreepinDeth --> I 100% agree with you there. At my old job, we were writing a lot of data on the local machines to send to the cloud and actually surpassed the max lifetime (TBW - Terabytes Written)... and it caused errors.
Back in the day - 2013... I had 2x 2GB or 4GB (cannot remember right now) WD Black Drives for my steam games (all games in library installed and ready to go!) ... and also other installed games. However, it was mostly Steam and Battle.net games at that time. I only used my SSDs (before NVMEs) for the OS drive.
This is a good pattern to follow though... even though newer NVMEs are probably better in terms of longevity... it's still a concern.
