So I tried out absolutely everything under $1k cdn and the GS Mini smoked it. But then there was a Taylor 24CE that sounded and felt better and got my attention. I tried out the GS Mini's ES-B pickup and it WAS as bad as online reviewers said. Then I tried a GS Mini with the ES2 and it was definitely "OK", but only just. Then I tried the 24CE's fishman pickup and it was absolutely amazing. Am I missing something? I thought the ES2 was supposed to be amazing. Still looking for the right guitar and I appreciate any advice. Not locked in to Taylor, btw. And ideal would be full size fretboard and mini size body if that's at all possible. Thanks in advance.

I know I'll be plugging it in, btw. But the electric one is so much more money than the base model. Thanks in advance.

If it's not on steam, but is an older game that still works on windows 11, that works too. We have dvd drives.

I've spent far too long trying emulators on different combinations of consoles, PCs, LCDs, and CRTs, but always turned up with stutters and/or input lag, so I've opted to just stick with CRT + OG consoles. But now someone showed me what settings to use (including freesync which works WONDERS) and I'm absolutely blown away. It has the "glasslike" feel of CRT even if the motion clarity may be bit worse. And the 2x scanlines filter is perfect! Anyone else see the light? I'm very excited about it! Never thought it'd come to this since I was a CRT fanatic. I'm using my PS5 controllers via Bluetooth which feels like it should be against the rules though, lol. They have less lag than my SNES controllers with USB adapter, unfortunately.

Shoutout to user Swirly_Eyes for the settings. Thanks again!

So my laptop is new and it's ticking like an old worn out hard drive (not terribly loud, but audible), but only when it's at a 15 degree angle on my cooling stand. If it's flat, it's noise-free. Should I be worried? It's still got 10 months warranty, so is this something I should get fixed? Thanks.

After my research, I think I'm finally off the fence and going to buy TDU:SC for ps5. I've waited it out. I know what shortcomings to expect. But it seems it's the best driving physics and location out right now, so I think it's worth it at this 80% off price.

Edit: Bought it. For 80% off it's worth it for me. By no means an $80cdn game, but I'm very much enjoying it. Driving physics for drifting is sooo much fun. Taxi missions and delivery missions super fun too. Better than the originals since you have to stay in your lane and such. I love the location. Love the test driving cars. Graphics are decent, but not forza 6 levels. Overall a great experience for the price, but not very polished in areas. Has a bunch of the quirkiness of the OG tdu which is fun to see.

I've been looking at the sales and the shrek kart, gigantosaurus kart, nickelodeon kart 3, etc look to be on super sale. We already exhausted CTR btw. Which game would you recommend as the next "new thing"? Thanks in advance.

It seems that now we have hdmi 2.1 as standard. We have atmos. We have lossless. Like where is there to go from here that'll promote selling new products? Back to 3d? I sure hope so.

Any game series you wish would come back in either a sequel or remaster?

I expected the easiest game to be easy, but man, I'm high on adrenaline after just beating little mermaid. That is NOT easy and I can see why we couldn't beat it when we rented it back in the day. Ariel isn't responsive; she takes a full second to turn around each time. And those stupid shrimp are awful. Sure, I did beat it in 20 minutes or so (with 2 or 3 game overs) at this stage in my life, but it was a stressful 20 minutes equal in stress to the Ripsnorter from sackboy. I've beaten battletoads, so I don't consider myself bad. Thoughts? PS: I'll be beating Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers next (another "easiest" nominee) to get a re-evaluation of its difficulty as well.

Update: Just beat Chip n Dale. I also consider that not an "easy" game. Heck, I got a "game over" on my attempt and I've beaten the game probably 7 times before. Definitely less stress than Little Mermaid because I was more practiced, but I'd rank it as even harder difficulty. The bears that pee on you are hard, the bees are hard, the space ship boss is hard because those aliens come out at you, The hat-throwers are hard, and especially the forced tight spaces with the fox guys with the plungers, and finally, fat cat's cigar is hard to predict. No non-gamer is going to pass this game.

I'd thought THE easiest game would be at least passable by my parents, but there's no way they'd beat little mermaid or chip n dale unless they got WAY better at video games. They've beaten mario 1, for the record. Next on my list is probably Ducktales since we couldn't ever pass it when we rented it, and it made the "easiest game" list.

I saw some people suggest Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers and I thought... that's a decently hard game, what gives? What are truly the easiest games for NES? Another was Loony Tunes... and that was hard as well. Little kid me didn't even pass that. Anyway, this post stems from a question I was discussing with someone that is, "If you had to play an NES game and you actually died when you died in game, but you're free if you beat the game, what game would you choose?"

I know most people want success, but who enjoys not being good enough? I sure do. Earthworm Jim on SNES at hardest difficulty kicked my butt yesterday. I look forward to getting better so I can show the game who's boss. Anyone else in the same (small) boat?

2nd person view is rare, so who did it best? (2nd-person is when you can see yourself from the enemy's perspective).
