GAMERS LAIR

[WhatNitrous]

oo yay, dual monitor stand I have wishlisted might be mine then and who doesnt buy more pc drives on prime day?

I have 6 drives in my PC already, 2 backups in the original boxes, and a spare Internal BD-R idk what to do with since my chassis doesn't have a 5 1/4 bay...so me I guess

When it come to drives, I only buy from 3rd Party sellers on Amazon, which is normally against my religion (lol), everytime I've bought an HDD, Hybrid or SSD direct from Amazon I've had issues within a month, Newegg all the way for my drive needs or PC needs i particular, few rare occasions I'll buy from Amazon for a computer.

They have a long standing record for selling repackaged products (those returns they accept gotta go somewhere) lmao

Personal opinion/advice, however you wanna take it. For a monitor stand its a good idea though.

bruuuh. Im feelin the burn

I have a spreadsheet for keys I've bought for steam but didnt think to include games from everywhere

I actually want to know what game you thought it was, honestly.

You "bought"? You mean I could have made a automatic game tracking program and people would have payed for it?

My turn for a

I have completed the first two on NES and Sega Master System, the third one (Wanderers of Ys) on Genesis and it's PSP-remake when it was ported on PC ("Oath of Fergalia" or something), so I can say that it's good indeed but pretty strange in terms of fighting system - instead of clicking buttons or using menus you're just need to bump into enemies from the right (not like left/right, but like wrong/right) direction.
It's funny if you know what and how to do, but if not it's a freaking nightmare

The newer battle system has been vastly improved, although the enemies are still on the map, you bump into them now you get hurt...think a really badass version of zelda with multiple party members and skills to assign to four slots, plus an ultimate skill that decimates everything (usually) except bosses heh.

Much much better than the older versions for once.

i own no trail, but i want them, but they're expensive for me

Extremely good series, you could always use a PSP emulator for the classic Trails in the sky (or a jailbroken PSP if you have a PSP and a memory stick for it)...its easy enough to do. But those shouldn't really be too expensive if you catch a sale hoestly.

saddly it isnt complete on pc, i tried searching, so i could start from the correct chronological time

Really? Missing the japaese releases I assume? I believe thats what the fan-made versions are doing...such as the one I mentioned.

Playnite. I use it to track all of my libraries + emulated games. It lets you sort, merge duplicates, hide games, add notes, filter games by name/tags/features/etc. It has plugins to download Steam reviews, achievements, HowLongToBeat data, and much much more.
I've mentioned it before (but nobody cares or they're worried it'll steal their login info).

I thought Playnite just went through a whole situation where it was more of a pain than its worth, have you used it lately?

Idk the particulars unfortunately, thought you might?

 

[WhatNitrous]

Swat on the door or not

what stolen info

hehe

First you make perfect sense, then you confuse the hell out of me lol. I'm almost used to it by now.

Swat nowhere, I crush pests myself

Thats just useful...thanks for showing me the door. Wonder what happens if I knock lol.

I've no idea what you're referring to. Playnite didn't go through any situation. They just upgraded from version 9->10. A couple of extensions stopped working but that's about it. It was never a pain to use and I never stopped using it.

You must be confusing it with something else.

Well its open source like most of these things.

Thats always nice...and reassuring.

I believe @LuckyStrike1305 posted it with a picture, I just had no idea what it was about...maybe this will get her attention and she can explain.

Because personally

I think IG just sets anything with LEGO in its name at 16 silver.

Random thought from my long (completed) quest of Hobbit Hunting and the Star Wars ones that are obviously up now lol.

Interesting. I've never had a problem with any drives I've bought from amazon either SSD or HDD (I use both).

You "bought"? You mean I could have made a automatic game tracking program and people would have payed for it?

I was referring to game keys I've personally bought/paid for. I dont always buy them for myself but I defo keep track of steam keys I buy. I guess I just need to add sheets for Origin, and all the other game clients (or use Playnite like pygmy will remind me about again lol).

I thought Playnite just went through a whole situation where it was more of a pain than its worth, have you used it lately?

I actually thought it was Playnite that was no longer being updated/supported too.

Grabbed both, thank you.

How does everyone keep track of what games they have and where? I cant tell you how many times I've drooled over NFS Heat on steam, every time it's mentioned here... only to find, today, that I own it on Origin thanks to the link to claim the unlock-all-dlc. Maybe it was a Prime bonus (?) or was this the game that was $4-ish? (I think that was a steam game tho.)
Too many game clients/launchers, man.

Sign In heres your full list on steam, just use ctrl+f to find, it loads full list from the start. And what i have on other platforms i can put in "ignore/played at another platform" on steam

Interesting. I've never had a problem with any drives I've bought from amazon either SSD or HDD (I use both).

The issues is only with Amazon directly, and you've been lucky if thats the case...I mean you can tell 75% of the time you've gotten a repackaged product at a glance, and i'm talking everything.

I recently got a hair buzzer I could tell was purchased before, just as one example.

They rent clothes now, accept ANY return within 30 days, common sense says its not the best place to buy sensitive electronics tbh...but my experience personally made it concrete.

I've bought mechanical drives from 3rd party sellers on Amazon that have been in use for over 5yrs, but every single one I got from Amazon itself was making a death rattle within the 30 days and ended up being sent back, Western digital drives in particular...but they suck anyways and all their ratings come from being cheaper than other brands (again, just my opinion), you get what you pay for I suppose.

After those I absolutely refused to by an SSD from Amazon at all.

I bought one Hybrid SSD there, (which was a lack of research fools move --those are trash in the first place), and it started shooting sparks in my brand new rig after a month or two

I've been doing PC repair most of my life, so it certainly wasn't me...I built the same rig from the ground up a few months before that and it booted right up without a single problem.

Luckily is was a Toshiba drive and their warranty and service are top notch (slow, but iconic) and they agreed it should never have done that in any circumstance unless it got wet or something that you know would destroy a drive lol.

Anyways, thats my story there...I'm not gonna tell anyone where to shop or what to do, but if my experience saves somebody trouble, never hurts to share.

I was referring to game keys I've personally bought/paid for. I dont always buy them for myself but I defo keep track of steam keys I buy. I guess I just need to add sheets for Origin, and all the other game clients (or use Playnite like pygmy will remind me about again lol).

Ohhhh, wording confusion lol.

Just because you got a rundown on Playnite in detail doesn't mean somebody read the 300 pages in reverse to do the same...I'd never heard of it until recently when they mentioned it.

Repeating something after that much time isn't a waste and doesn't affect the lair much. Leave the goat alone

I actually thought it was Playnite that was no longer being updated/supported too.

Maybe that was it, again...I'm not sure so I won't pretend to be...and I'm too lazy to research it

Nice try< I win it`s too early, but for real it is 2 games with 2 version: old and remastered
P/S блять я имел в виду что выиграл это тоже раньше сука хуй пойми как по английски это писать ахахаххаха

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (2018, PC, officially in english

PC officially makes it past the first cut-scene now

Game was a nightmare for almost a year after release...then they hired a programmer "Durante" (ironic eh?) and he finally fixed it.

I had to make a C++ program to get the game to load without going into the task manager every time and changing the processor cores by hand...but I did beat it 9-months before most users could get past the second area

what do you mean??

I replied thinking they meant the Trails Of series, we were talking about both. In reality you might have taken the wrong series into account heh.

7 games win in september IG GA, and month is not over)
