Rather than troubleshoot and repair my broken NES I bought an #Opentendo board, bought new components (besides CPU, PPU, crystal) and recapped the power supply. Bloody thing booted up first time. I'm absolutely stunned that I managed this. I owe it all to @Voultar's teachings.

@CarlLefavre @SULLY10X Yep, this is called direct‑register locomotion.

Rest well in Valhalla, Burger Becky. Your contributions to the video games industry, and of course - DOOM - will live on with us here on earth forever

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@S0N1Cua @CoconutTwitch It'll be the same as every other popular electronic device these days - completely unavailable at launch, scalped to high heaven and then finally underwhelming.

@Windows @UrAvgConsumer Your company is so fucking lost in the sauce it's unreal. You stupid fucking bastards. You stupid cunts.

@JRanTheMan @QuirklessStoner Appearing offline isn't foolproof - if they visit your profile they can still see "Last played: Today" 😬

@GmanLives @AKblackandred I love the completely mismatched tyres. Incredibly fucking stupid and shitty poster.

Bumpgate repair. Bought these Gigabyte 9800 GTX’s as a pair - one working, one with massive artifacting that crashed on load. Heated the GPU die with heatgun, artifacts fixed but still unstable. Heated the whole card in an oven (lol) for 2 minutes. Now 3DMark 06 stable.

@KalsContent Oh my GAWD, ack-ACK-ack-accckkk.

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@SerebiiNet I regret wasting that time getting to rank K in season 1 now...

@JProlec @TheWapplehouse You know that Sting was the lead singer of The Police right?

@StarWarsCCG You have to play ROM hacks to find such advanced gameplay mechanics as “full teams” 😂

I genuinely think that AI is for idiots. It is for people who mindlessly consume things that look flashy and require no critical thinking. This clip is shit and makes no sense, but that's exactly why AI consumers love it. Stupid shit for stupid people.

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@S0N1Cua Same cooler as the 8800 GT I think. Nice looking card.

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@S0N1Cua It’s all about that clock speed, baby 😂

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@S0N1Cua Hmm, manual doesn't mention 1066 support. I will definitely try my E7500 and see if the slower quad-core is bottlenecking the GPU.

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@S0N1Cua What speed RAM you got in there? I only have 800 MHz. I think the only faster clocked CPU I have available is an E7500 at 2.93GHz. Could be worth me testing that. :)

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@S0N1Cua Interestingly my GPU scores are way lower 😮 I wonder why

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@S0N1Cua Same motherboard and GPU as my XP x64 machine :) I have a Q6600 in mine, will run 3DMark 06 to compare. I expect the faster FSB on the dual-core Wolfdale probably yields higher scores 🤔

[hosserUK @hosseruk]

@StarWarsCCG @CobaltGreen1138 Fucking true
