    Gaming Do you recommend any GBA games I dont have?

    I'll plug for Shining Soul II again. Great Diablo-like with good replay value with lots of little secrets and quirks that have kept me engaged with it off and on for almost two decades now, despite the lackluster story. And if you've got buddies with copies, the multiplayer for it is a great...

    Hacking Widescreen AR Codes for Star Fox Assault?

    It's been a while, but I don't recall any of the two or three codes I've found previously doing a great job with that. And I distinctly remember they'd all cause the game to crash (on both Dolphin and real hardware) on the 7th mission, the Corneria one, either during or right at the end of the...

    Hacking Widescreen AR Codes for Star Fox Assault?

    Back when I first posted this in 2015, there were none lol. I have long since found them, but thanks.

    The annoying bit of that line for me has always been singling out just Ninty. Like, there's so much more one could consider. Sure, Nintendo are dicks, but what of the handful of large publishers that weasel out of paying US Federal taxes?

    TO ALL GAMERS: We need to finally end this debate.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed every console I've owned, great to just pick up and play something with little to no fuss. But I feel PC is the better platform for gaming, given the astronomical amount of native titles spanning decades, emulation for older (and even some current) consoles, easy access...

    Homebrew How to use Cheats with GBA Virtual Console

    Like I was mentioning earlier, I wouldn't suggest loading in .CHT files directly, GBAATM doesn't seem to like it all the time. It's simpler to find CodeBreaker/Libretro cheats (GameHacking.org is a good resource for those), give them a quick formatting pass in a text editor, and copy-paste that...

    Homebrew How to use Cheats with GBA Virtual Console

    I think some titles only have the file written when actually saving in-game, not just starting it up and turning it off? It's been a bit since I dumped my saves.

    Homebrew How to use Cheats with GBA Virtual Console

    In this case, you want your cheats to be in CodeBreaker format. In my experience, they're the only ones that work with the patcher, from what I recall. There's lots of conversion tools online that should be able to change their formats, or even standalone software like AR Crypt and CBA Crypt...

    I genuinely just did not let the sugar dissolve enough. The mixture felt somewhat grainy the whole time, though I'd hoped that the final pop into the oven would have smoothed it out more. Also didn't help that I wasn't using the right kind of brown sugar and was substituting. All lessons for...

    Tried making caramel corn myself the other day. Actually, first time trying to make caramel at all. Did okay, popcorn wasn't burnt from making it stovetop and the caramel flavor was close. But it was more brown sugar-coated than actual caramel, the sugar crystals didn't dissolve enough lol

    Skyrim Switch save transfer to PC/steam Skyrim SE?

    Not Switch-specific, but I was able to dump my Xbox 360 save and use it on LE back in the day (it'll load up on SE as well). With that, the actual save file itself was in a container the 360 liked, so I had to dump that and then use software to explore the file and get the real save out of it...

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
