  1. You know me so well. Yep, this is the best option in my opinion. If you only plan on emulating from the 8 and 16 bit eras though you can get an SNES controller and a converter so you can plug it into USB. Don't go with a USB SNES knock off controller though, in my experience they're cheaply made and just suck all around.
  2. Winco Brandy "Fancy" Cat Chow. Cats hate it but at $7 for a 12 pound bag you can't beat the price
  3. There's a 0% chance that Nintendo will ever allow there to be a legal port of any Zelda game (or Mario or Metroid) on PC ever.
  4. It usually takes for frickin' ever for them to get around to actually sending you your money. Like 2 months.
  5. How does one practice pure non-sense in a professional way?
  6. The difference being that it could take years or even decades for a disk rot to set in. A VHS tape could degrade over the course of a few dozen viewings.
  7. There's some seriously creepy shit in Witcher 3 but I'd agree that it's a more worthy purchase than either Fallout 4 or The Division.
  8. If you thought Fallout 3 was too scary then you probably won't like Fallout 4, you especially won't like the sidequest where you investigate the Witch Museum in Salem.
  9. Mass Effect is a weird one for me. ME1 was my favorite and actually brought me back to gaming after I'd more or less left the hobby for a few years. ME2 felt like the first act of a larger story that didn't really pay off in my opinion. I found the characters to be boring scifi stereotypes, the cooler characters either come in really late in the game like Legion or you can barely interact with them like that bounty hunter guy. ME3 probably had the best gameplay of the three but it played like literally every other 3rd person shooter that came out around that time and that ending, good god. I've decided that for Andromeda I don't care how much hype there is, I don't care how highly reviewed it is, I'm not buying that game until it goes on sale for less than $30 at some point in the future.
  10. Assuming you don't have a data cap, downloading from Steam is usually the best option. Buying steam keys through a third party is somewhat risky IMO but I know people who swear by it. The DVD to Steam thing is usually more trouble than it's worth, only do it if you really want a physical box for your collection or something. Half of the time you'll end up having to download the game anyway and if you're buying the game second hand there's a chance the key won't work for you at all.
  11. Basic water treatment is probably enough but straigh up sewage in the water though isn't natural. It can act as a fertilizer and can result in what's known as an algae bloom which is bad news all around. Here's a good wiki article on it if you're interested https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algal_bloom
  12. I try to keep well hydrated which helps and if I get a headache anyway I take the maximum recommended daily dose of Tylenol all in one go cuz I just don't give a fuck anymore.
  13. People are selfish and care not for the future. If people really sat down and thought about what a fucked up planet we're leaving for our children and grand children, they might actually have to modify their behavior. It's just easier for people to live in ignorance. Also humans are subject to confirmation bias. They are endlessly skeptical of climate science and ascribe malicious intent to the climate scientists themselves, funny how they don't apply the same skepticism to the information that happens to align with their preconceived notions about the environment.
  14. Assuming this technology were even possible I forsee three problems 1) The added nanomachines would make the water extremely electrically conductive. Not exactly what you want in a water loop as I understand. 2) How would these things be powered? Radioactive decay? Not sure that's something you'd want sitting on your desk. Converting waste heat into electricity? Doubt you'd be able to get enough power out of it to produce a noticeable amount of light. Teeny tiny batteries? Can batteries even be scaled down to the atomic level? 3) How exactly would these things communicate with one another? Onboard wifi or bluetooth? What kind of processing power would be required to control trillions upon trillions of tiny RGB nanomachines and keep them all in sync? EDIT: 4) The RGB lights would introduce another (likely significant) source of heat into the loop A simpler solution might be some sort of iridescent or polarized molecule that changes color when exposed to different frequencies of non-visible light. With some of the breakthroughs in materials science these days I wouldn't be surprised if that's actually made possible at some point in the near future.
  15. Yeah, Vizio isn't nearly as crappy as it used to be. Also if you don't mind buying used pawn shops are an excellent place to go for cheap AF TV's, sometimes you'll even be able to get a good brand name for next to nothing.
  16. I feel like some PC gamers get too hung up on stats and benchmarks, whether the game is playable or not far too often gets lost in the weeds. Like Deus Ex Mankind Divided is a great example. Does it run at a crappy framerate on even the beefiest of rigs? Of course, but in my mind that's just one negative point of criticism that can be fairly leveled against the game. Overall it's a great game so the poor frame rate doesn't matter as much in the end, especially since I don't feel that it greatly detracted from the overall experience. To some people though that one point is everything and OMG SQUEENIX DON'T CARE ABOUT PC! WAH!
  17. NOPE! The pretty colors and landscapes and dinosaurs are kind of neat if you're in, shall we say, the right state of mind. That didn't stop me from getting a refund through Steam though!
  18. His next video will probably be a twenty minute rant where he complains about all the dead pixels on his screen.
  19. Apparently if you want to play it in 1080p you're going to need 16 gigs of RAM which seems insane to me.
  20. OMG YES! Roach sucks to ride through towns and will get hung up on the scenery really easily which is super annoying. I also know exactly what you're talking about with the lag issue, it can make the controls feel really unresponsive sometimes.
  21. A used wired Xbox 360 controller is like $15 at Gamestop and they're tanks, unlike the garbage Xbone controller. What game is it that you're playing? It doesn't have keyboard support at all?
  22. Like 9.5 or 10. I hated it when I first bought it but going back to it I love it. The only thing I really don't like is that the majority of puzzles in the game are solved by just turning on the witcher senses and following the red line which is super lame IMO but they're still better than the utterly pointless puzzles in Skyrim which are really only there to waste a few seconds of your time.
  23. On tops of the desk. There's a little cubby hole thing built into the desk for a computer tower but my Full size ATX tower is too big to fit in it.
