All Things Gaming

What would you say if I told you I used to beat TMNT turtles in time on the hardest difficultly without cheats? Once you figure out you can get extra lives for points and that you get the max, 3 points, when you throw the enemy into the screen. Oh that game was so much fun when we would rent it from blockbuster as kids!
Remember Chrono has a game plus mode that lets you bring a finished game inventory to a new game to start a harder alternate story line. Really cool shit back then that you don't see much anymore

Lol oh them good old days

My other favorite SNES is super Metroid, it's what they based that new Metroid dread off of. This game is the definition of metroidvania.

I meant the TMNT game from the NES! Shit is impossible! Yeah, not too many games(if at all) allow you to bring an end game character to start a new game on a harder level.. Nes games were rough, way harder IMO to go through games nowadays!

I used to save old computer CPU I’d built. Took a bunch of early ones and made a picture.

Gave a lot of old systems and consoles away. Stopped hacking them after the 360. We have a few generations hooked up. My son plays them all still. Randomly gets in the mood.

I’m mostly on the Steamdeck and PS5 when I do feel like playing.

Too bad all of em r intel lol I was influenced by my professor to only buy AMD, Hippy Cali guy. Looks pretty cool though, good enough to frame and hang IMO!

Thought I'd throw a pic of my current toy......She's getting dated already! AMD 5800x with a rtx3080 for video. I built it a few years back with all hard line but sprung a leak and replaced with soft tube stuff.
I play mostly fps stuff...Doom, Metro, Crysis and tons of others.

Doesn't take long for them to get dated lol I only have a ryzen 5 3600x and an amd rx-5700 xt gpu. Those hardlines were the worst part of my build even though I have a monster of a tower case. I had a dual custom loop, 1 for the gpu and one for the cpu, way overkill. It's now in shambles cuz I went w colored coolant and didn't change it for 18 months or so and it gunked up the whole system. Got a new cpu block, and probably need to get another GPU block. I also did use some soft, just in the back compartment that you don't see. Hard went into the back that I connected the soft to and from the dual 360mm rads.

The most recent AMD cpu's are fine with air coolers...it's crazy how chill they are! I built a 7600x3d with a rx7900xtx for a buddie recently and realized other than for gpu's water cooling is no longer a big performance advantage.
Still look cool as hell though!

Yeah, I did it purely for aesthetical reasons, that and too much time on my hands lol Then there's the noise reduction which isn't really a thing anymore I think?

There's still advantages with gpu's there I would think. That's the power hog these days. The rx7900xtx was definitely noticeable during gaming.

Unfortunately I gave a lot of older computers or parts to friends and family. When some returned them years later I’d gut them for the CPUs. Didn’t do it with the AMD or Cyrix back then.

Probably be worth more now than it was new.

Currently, started playing ARC raiders.

Walking up to duos, saying "friendly" then shooting them in the head off-guard.

Lol.

Hell fuckin yes.

Definitely.

AiO coolers and heatsink/fans over the cpus got pretty good, but damn, something about a properly configured/set up watercooled desktop is just aesthetically pleasing.
