All Things Gaming

Oo love this

Been wanting to do a wall mounted liquid cooled ryzen system
They are pretty! I went w ryzen myself. Wall mounting would be cool! How would you wall mount it? I'm assuming you would fabricate(or gut one from a case) a plate of some sort to connect all the hardware to and hang it? Or buy like a smaller, lightweight case to hang? I think connecting the components on some sort of plate and hanging that on a wall would be sick! No hiding anything, just everything out in the open!
 
Hell yea dude I loaded one up some years back customized menus and shit was pretty into it for about 6 months....need to get streets of rage remake (dos game) to work with two controllers....need to fire it back up soonView attachment 93838
Nice! The thing I really like about those are that they r soo portable! Small and easy to bring w you

thought they looked cool, efficient use of space too, not sure exactly what materiel used but yea.

Those r sick looking! I bought a 70lb thermaltake 900 tower so I'd have plenty of space for 2 custom loops, not hanging that on a wall lol If I had seen those, I would've went a different way!!
 
Well that and the crazy amount of retro games lol
@moe.red uses the raspberry pi in his grow setup I do believe...I don't know what he has them doing but I thought it was pretty sweet when I seen it....what you using those pi's for moeski broski?

I thought he was using arduino? I am probably very wrong as always lol. I wanna guess he uses them to automate his nutes and maybe for his probes that monitor the water conditions in real time?
I just have one Pi5 and basically have used it as a game emulator. Used it for a few hrs learning a miniscule amount of coding and would like to dive into python. I like the fact that it's Linux and would like to dive into that again as well. I loved the command prompts over GUI, made you feel more like a hacker lol. Yes, they have newer versions of Linux that use GUI, but I prefer the commands

I just hit brick walls trying to learn python, or any coding language.

He might be I just seen a pi mentioned or maybe just noticed one in a pic...either way yea pretty cool stuff he does
 
So I've been without power and bored here and there so I thought I'd look to see what kind of emulators I could find. Downloaded some super Nintendo games but most games take precision....so the I remembered turn based rpgs...PS1 had the best ones ..found duck station emulator...got a couple I always wanted to o try...but now I'm thinking about syncing this controller to my phone....may end up back on the super Nintendo

But damn pocket style with save states may be the only way I could find time to check out some old games I wanted to try...sitting down at a TV and finding peace and quiet isn't an option anymore
My favorite turn based RPGs are on SNES, finish fantasy 3 (6 in Japan) is the RPG pixel art at its peak. I love the story, it's really good. Amazing intro in SNES mode 7 too.

Chrono trigger is the next best turn based on SNES.

The final fantasy story is darker than the more kid friendly story in Chrono trigger. Both are good, but barely a year goes by that I don't pick it up and get blown away again by the opening narrative and how cool it was to almost not have a main character that is forced on you. Lol sorry I could go on forever about the merits and current playback value of that game.


For any die-hard enthusiasts software emulation will never be pixel/timing perfect, hardware emulation via an FPGA chip like the one in Mister is 1:1 exact. But of course it's expensive, semi difficult to configure, and yada yada. I don't have one but will probably get one at some point. Currently only emulate switch at home and use a pocket device when I travel for retro gaming.

Yeah I also love the pocket devices, they are really cool!

Chrono trigger! Totally forgot about that rpg. I dove into Zelda of course and FF3. Also tried some super nes emulated games but gave up on TMNT shortly, that game is fucking hard! Gonna have to try some Chrono now, thanks ;)

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 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.

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!

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. 🤔
