Re: Streaming music

That's just it. They are not investments. You are paying monthly to rent music. Same as streaming services for movies and TV shows. They can add and remove features and content as much as they want, and happily auto charge you for it each month.

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

Worth noting, I pointed my OGX to a public SNTP server to fix the time issue without a clock cap 8) I saw the ability to do this in various dashes, but I guess my preference is to always set the time locally. Those caps are like $1 so it's not a big deal. Thought I'd mention 2 other notable HDMI so...

Re: Ninten-Drawer - A New 72-Pin Connector for the NES

I think it's really cool, but I don't know if I want one at this price point. I mean, it would be nice to have, and of course I like modding consoles. But I don't mind the death grip that my aftermarket pin connector has, And at $50, it's more than an impulse buy for me. I'd have to REALLY want it. ...

Re: New Forum Themes/Styles Feedback

I just saw a non Backloggery image in someone's signature, so I think images are working and the issue is on Backloggery's side. Another thing I just noticed with quotes and Milk... Usually when I have a reply with one or more quotes, I use an extra line break between quote and my reply to make it e...

Re: I bought a 3D Printer!

Can you use something like a craft knife to successfully sever the supports? It's a pain, but it might give you the amount of precision necessary to get the job done. Probably. Yesterday, I just very hastily jammed a small flat head screwdriver in there to try and snap it off. I didn't realize how ...

Re: My poor, poor Dreamcast. Will you ever be OK?

Just some minor stuff with my Dreamcast... I finally got around to cleaning one of my controllers and installing that cable thing. https://i.imgur.com/VyJN8IZ.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/C9GRSAY.jpeg I didn't bother cleaning my other controller though. After I got my first one cleaned up, side by side ...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

I decided to take the dive and buy a 3D printer! https://i.imgur.com/qfpz7c5.jpeg The above pic is of two fan mount adapters and 4 feet for the bottom of the Xbox. The Xbox has those rubber feet that hide 4 screws. So it's a little annoying every time you want to open it up and put it back together....

I bought a 3D Printer!

I just got my first 3D printer, the Anycubic Kobra 2. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rzzmBHEtL._AC_SL1500_.jpg https://store.anycubic.com/products/kobra-2 I got mine from Amazon during a sale price, for $209. I just noticed it's back up to $299 on Amazon, but it's still $209 direct from Anycu...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)

I had a rough work week, so I didn't really do any gaming at all (too tired at the end of the day). But last week I did blast through Tony Hawk 3. I didn't know how I felt about THPS3 at first. It just seemed kinda blah, like more of the same, but with different music tracks. But after playing it fo...
