Sure, but it’s a start. It’s certainly better than trying to keep them on my laptop. And I do hope to add more forms of data backup/storage as time goes on. It’s taken several hours ripping all those games and I’d hate to lose them all.
I also have an external 4 TB SSD that I keep most of the games on (excluding the PS4 games because they simply take up too much space).
That’s what I’ve been doing. Been collecting various PS1-4 games on top of GameCube, Wii, and Switch games over the past year to rip and save digital copies for myself. Then I play them on emulators.
I have roughly a few hundred so far and plan to expand it further.
I have a NAS with two 8 TB drives in RAID to back them up and it’s already over 50% full. I want to start collecting OG Xbox and 360 games in the near future, but I need to get jailbroken consoles for them.
It’s a classic. Sadly, I couldn’t find it. I think I first saw it in 2012-13.
I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I’ve been tempted to get a set for it because I think it’d be funny.
Edit: I’ve also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED’s into the nuts so they’ll light up when I brake or use the blinker?
Alternatively, you can contact/ask the people who wrote the paper if they can send you a copy. Usually they’ll gladly send it to you for free. I don’t believe they get any of the profit from the journal subscriptions/purchases. So they have no incentive to withhold it from anyone.
I keep this in my phone for whenever those thoughts hit.
They make pretty reliable trombones, too.
There are a few sources you could check. One place is nopaystation.com. There’s another good source I’m aware of, but I’m on mobile and don’t remember the specific link.
I ripped my own copies of Motorstorm 1 & 2 and it’s pretty great on RPCS3. Would recommend.
If you want to rip copies yourself it’s not that difficult to do. You don’t need a jailbroken PS3 to do it, just a compatible Blu-ray drive from RPCS3’s compatibility list and a program called PS3 Disc Dumper or something like that. Through that method alone I’ve been able to rip over 110 PS3 games since November '23.
I recently jailbroke my Wii and ripped all my current games, so this is surprisingly relatable to me right now.
I also got a low firmware PS4 to jailbreak so I can rip those in preparation for ShadPS4, an up and coming PS4 emulator. Bloodborne is running on it now, though it’s still far from playable.
I am in this picture. I excelled in school almost all years and graduated in the top ten of my high school class. Then I went to an engineering school and got my ass handed to me. I managed to graduate after 5 years, but it was a struggle and my GPA was noticeably worse than high school.
Your collection of toy cars reminded me that I loved Hot Wheels as a kid in the '90s and early '00s. And I would often have to get more whenever we went to the store. Or at the very least see what they had. Luckily they were cheap so my parents were ok getting 1 or 2 each time.
I was also really good at remembering what ones I already had, so I knew at the store what ones I didn’t have.
It’s been a long time since I counted, but I amassed over 300 cars by the time I grew out of them.
This is exactly why I bought a low firmware PS4 to jailbreak. So I can start ripping my PS4 games for this emulator. I am excite.
My brother and I never stopped calling it that. And he owns one himself. Luckily not one that needs a recall.
It’s a Ford Taurus, so the engine is pretty common since they put it in just about everything: Taurus, Edge, Flex, Exploder, etc. They also have a bored version that’s 3.7L. Those were in the F-150, Mustang, and some Lincoln vehicles.
So this tuning info could be useful to a wide range of people.
I forgot to mention that the tune uses regular 87 octane. No need for premium to hit those numbers.
I see your brutalist butt plug and raise you my dildo rock.
I had my car dyno’d and tuned back in February. It has a naturally aspirated 3.5L V6. The tune bumped peak crank HP from 288 to 306 and torque from 254 lb-ft to 278, which is on par with the 3.7L variant of my engine.
While the peaks only gained 6 and 9%, respectively, other areas saw even bigger gains. For example, below 4000 rpm most of the power band gained 15-20 lb-ft over stock. And above 4500 rpm, the torque continues to rise rather than plateau which I’ve noticed in hard accelerations.
Another interesting thing is how much smoother the power band is compared to stock.
This was a bit pricey, though, and I see why most people don’t do this often. All told, it was about $2500 to do: Pre-Dyno inspection, HP Tuners ECU, set of step colder spark plugs, putting it on the dyno, etc. Honestly, would do again and would like to do in the future.
I wonder if they’re trying to run a custom OS on their vehicle, too.
This is from the channel Some More News for those curious of the source.
I always like watching their videos; I would share them with my friends and family more often, but I feel some of their skits would put some of them off. Otherwise I really like what they do and recommend people check them out.
