Wii games on WiiU look good enough on my 60 inches to me. Obviously you can do the upscaling and get all the bells and whistles but I don't know if these games would benefit from it at all. I like the slightly soft feeling as it is

I have quite a few consoles from most of the generations and honestly Wii is my favourite. I love playing Wii games, I love the idea of playing on this console and I love collecting for it. I think I actually have 3 or 4 Wiis but I use my WiiU for the HD (I do have a dongle for the Wii as well). There is no video game updates every time you put the disc in, there are no trophies or gamer score, no communities, social media features, ads. You boot it up and enjoy. Because it was so much different from what was on the market, developers couldn't simply port games onto it. They had to develop with the console and its hardware in mind and that's what made it special. I know that on paper Switch is just a better Wii as it has the best of both worlds (it has motion controls and its beefy enough to play more demanding games) but as the focus is mostly to catch up with the other consoles, I think it lost a bit of that magic.

Hi guys

I can't remember the tile of this film, or even if it's real (?!).

70s style/theme but modern. Bunch of people (some popular well known people) got invited to this genius/entrepreneur's house. They each got served a cocktail that was perfectly tailored to them. Then they went on this psychodelic trip and the whole thing went to shit.

Anyone? Please its killing me! :D

Hi guys, I recently took a trip to Italy to see my friend who purchased a 1997 Mercedes about a year ago, which is extremely comfortable and pretty reliable - he swears by it. We got into a chat about advantages, reliability and comfort of the older over newer cars and he got me kinda excited to get into classic motoring. I currently have a 2017 Honda Civic for which I pay a pretty penny every month (its a lease) and my contract runs out in two years. I started looking around for a classic alternative I could maybe get outright cash in hand or with a little help from a financing company. I see a lot of Jaguars XF and X-Type on the streets of UK, I looked them up on autotrader and they can go for anything from about 2k to 10k depending on the milage etc. - still about 5k less than price sticker of my Civic. So here is the question - is it worth looking into? What models/makes I could look into? What should I be aware of? Any tips? Tricks? I’m looking to expand my family in the coming years so a 3 doors sports car are out of the question :) Thanks

Comm System Advice (self.motorcycles)
submitted 4 months ago by CoachDom to c/motorcycles@lemmy.world

Hi guys I just bought an HJC I71 helmet and because its a bit tighter fit then my previous helmet, I wont be able to use my IsoTune earphones anymore. I looked into getting a comm system for this purpose and a guy at my local shop recommended Cardo. Im split between Freecom 2x or going down the integrated route with HJC 21b. Can you recommend any of these or advise against? Thanks

First Big Bike (self.motorcycles)
submitted 8 months ago by CoachDom to c/motorcycles@lemmy.world

Hi all

Im happy to report that I recently passed my full motorcycle license. Ive been riding for a good couple of years on my 125 and im itching really hard to buy my first big bike.

Found this Suzuki Bandit very local to me and I was wondering if maybe somebody could advise.

Im having second thoughts because its a big engine and because its pretty old.

I was thinking about trying to get this bike down to 2000

Thanks in advance

Hi all

I recently picked this game up with three of my pals and we are enjoying the little voyages so far. Looking for the burried treasure, fighting off some skeletons and even some sea warfare (only fougt PVE so far).

I was just wondering, is this it? There is no weapon/character progression apart from the skins from what I can tell. We have not seen a single player run ship out in the sea (saw some twice in a port) so we are wondering is this just a very repetitive PVE? Can't be since this game is going strong since 2018

Thanks

CoachDom

P.S. I play on the High Seas

Hi all I currently have a Honda Civic 2017 (a regular one) but I always wanted a Type R. Looking at used cars market in my country, they are a bit out of my reach at the moment :D Could you recommend any other Japanese cars, that could scratch that itch but not destroy my wallet? Have to be family friendly too as I expect kids :D Cheers

Hi all,

I bought a Sinclair ZX81 on a garage sale some days ago for around 12 USD as a non-tested item as the guy said he had no wires to even try and run it. I have a couple of RF cable kicking about from my Atari 2600 and ZX Spectrum, so I have this basis covered.

According to the manual LINK it takes 9V 700mA unregulated (I'm not sure what it means) 3.7mm jack power supply. I have a 9V DC 1A jack power supply I bought for the Atari (it's not an original one - a unbranded one) and I tried to use it, but to no success. Manual tuning my TV same as with Spectrum and Atari, and no signal.

I was wondering if maybe the power supply is not up to spec? I was thinking that maybe 1mA is too much to power it up? But I went online to look for an unbranded ZX81 power supply and they are running 2A so I'm not sure what's going on here.

Is it busted? Or should I get one of those unbranded power supplies that say they are made for ZX81 to test it?

Thanks :)

WTF are Keanu Reeves and Madonna doing there 😃

Correct answer is sitting.

Three scenarios:

No legs folded - standing

Rear legs folded - sitting

All legs folded - laying down

I get that it was delivered with bugs and server issues. I get that it wasn't what was promised to the players. But being toxic to the devs? Fucking get a grip. You don't like it? Get a refund. And probably don't preorder in the future.

I, for one, support Just Stop Oil. Any form of fighting, raising awareness or disruption to tackle the global warming and pollution issue that so many of us shrug off. We take too much for granted.

Growing up in Eastern Europe I had a romanticised picture of USA and I always wished I grew up there.

Only until years later I realised how privileged I was not having to worry about the student debt, medical insurance and gun violence...

In my experience, old age only amplifies person's traits - if you were nice, you are going to be extra nice because of all the stress leaving your day to day. If you were a cunt, you are going to be extra cunty because now you will be blaming people left and right for all the errors in your life. That's my experience though.

It's such a shame - I used Reddit for many years and found so many helpful people that helped me with many things - fixing my motorbike, improving my 3D prints or saving my plants. I hope we can establish similar kind of community in the Fediverse.

I guess that's what we get for trusting too much in a company - decentralised open source software is way to go. Even if somebody in this particular instance will go fucking insane and will decide to raise it to the ground, whatever, the project lives on and you can just go somewhere else.
