Two items for my Amiga 1200.... Tsunami 1230 Accelerator (going to test against my TF-1230) and an Indivision AGA MK3 Scandoubler. If I like the Tsunami 1230 better, then I will probably sell my TF-1230 and my TF-530. I do not like the TF cards, at least in my experience they have some quirks about …

I just noticed something I'm suspicious about from another conversation on here and I'm curious If I can tell if you are anything younger than Gen. X by how you answer this question. No cheating. What do you call the sounds a modem makes when connecting to another modem? Cacophony. LOL. I'm not …

Finally snagged some DDR5 2X16GB 5600Mhz C36 from Corsair. Been waiting a while. Now after I get my move done this winter I will be able to get my 12900k build started.

Not really playing this yet, but I just bought Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar for 99 cents on GOG's Winter Sale. I did install it and check it out and it looks like a full-on modern remake of Wizardry 7. I'm impressed and the reviews have been pretty good, so I look forward to playing …

Got an i9 12900k and a Asus ROG Strix Z690-E. Couldn't stop myself. Now I just need to source some DDR5 Ram. Good Luck to that.

I just finished Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire and wanted to share some final views about the game. Some of it well be rehashing my previous ideas but I thought posting them all in one place wouldn't hurt anyone. It was a good game, but it wasn't a great game and I can definitely understand the …

Even if we routinely deal with old hardware. Back then you absolutely needed the hardware aimed at enthusiasts and you had to upgrade your gaming rig more often than today, but that enthusiast's hardware could perfectly (optimally) run the games from the same year. Admittedly, my memory may be a …

I don't think it's true that you needed two years newer PC than the game itself to play optimally. I think our memories about 'gaming back then' is a little distorted by the decades. Even if we routinely deal with old hardware. Back then you absolutely needed the hardware aimed at enthusiasts and …

Hopefully emulation will continue to get better and better or we will see a surge in do it yourself boards based on reconfigurable chips that are recreations of that old hardware. As you say none of this stuff is going to last forever. Personally I stock up on items while I can. I hope things are …

As someone who never played the original Deus Ex until about a decade after it released (when I found a copy of the GOTY Edition at a toy store for 5 bucks) I've only ever seen it run at a consistent 60 at max settings. Same with a lot of other famously demanding games that I didn't get around to …
