>what's that? your IBM is giving you some trouble, son?
>my first step would be to replace all the caps on the entire board
>...what do you mean there's no evidence the caps are causing the problem? they're going to fail eventually any way so you might as well
>what do you mean you don't want to commit to such a drastic first course of action before ruling out potentially simpler fixes? If there's anything I've learned in my 50+ years doing this, it's that the problem is always caps, sonny
>you want to keep the board in as original condition as possible? what are you some kind of poofter? off with those caps, chump
>ah you found some corroded traces on the board? I told you that'd be the problem
>WAIT YOU USED TAP WATER TO CLEAN IT OFF? ARE YOU INSANE? YOU JUST DEPOSITED SIX GORILLION MINERAL PARTICLES ON YOUR BOARD THAT ARE GOING TO SHORT IT OUT THE NEXT TIME YOU POWER IT ON!! YOU SHOULD HAVE USED BRAKE CLEANER OR SOMETHING!
>oh it didn't explode? well you'll be sorry about those minerals one day...
>what's that? the floppy drive won't work reliably? that's an easy one. just replace all the RAM, that'll fix 'er right up
>oh you've already determined the RAM is not the problem? you've mentioned this multiple times? well those chips are notoriously unreliable, it's possible they could still be the problem. I'd replace them all anyway
>ah, the drive head was just dirty? well it could have been the ram...
>what? the keyboard isn't working reliably? IT'S THE RAM!!!!!!!

>remember some game you liked as a kid

yfw you realize the reason Nintendo's been mum about a Twilight Princess port is that they're working on a Twilight Princess DX and the rumors of a Zelda remake in the works is it.

Yup. I'm thinking we're back.

Romancing Saga 2 vs. 3?
Which do you like better?

>where did you learn to fly?

These are the most emulated retro game consoles/platforms on the Steam Deck, according to a 2023 Steam Deck survey.

What the fuck were they thinking with the thwomp placement in this game?

So, I did an experiment with an AI Voice Swapper to dub the FF8 Possessed Edea speech, using FFXIII Lighting voice for her (Hank Hill stars for a cameo as Deling).

Would you like to actually see (mostly retro) games being re-released with the added option to switch voice acting on\off?

You think companies, with all the budget have, cop you out by not adding it to these games that could benefit from it or, at least, at a further motivation to try them again?
