Wife's put me on a spending ban LOL.

All I've got is Q1 and 2, and UT2004. Wish I could remember what I did with my original UT GOTY edition. GGGGRRRRR. Sold it no doubt or gave it to a charity shop or something mental back in the day.

Probably against forum guidelines I'd assume.

I'll check Archive.org and see if it's on there.

We should chat more in PM about stuff.

EDIT: It's all good. I've wishlisted it on Steam and will keep an eye on prices. My spending ban will be over soon enough

Sorry not been Much Action from me as of Late. In Self Destruct mode at the Moment my Head has Decided it Doesn't want to Play Ball so a lot is a Struggle at the Moment (I Know it sounds Sad but Please try living with it yourself and getting back to me, No rhyme or Reason needed!) I think I am ok but then BANG! i'm not ok at the moment I need to Realise this

All the best to you mate.

I'm sure you are already, but in case you're not, professional help is the best kind of help.

You don't have to struggle alone.

The only closest way I can relate, is my wife recently going through anxiety. And 100% no rhyme or reason as you say. Life was and is going great. Nothing to worry about, yet in the middle of the night, she'd be up wanting to vomit for absolutely no reason other than a brain fart causing all kinds of dark thoughts out of nowhere.

Professional help and the right medication, which she's coming off of very slowly, are the only things that returned things to "normal".

Good luck.

Yeah I am Under Professional Help Buddy which is in Fact why I have Taken a Break from Tech Related Things at the Moment it was Advice to Focus on Myself more than Projects etc and When I Start to Feel better in Myself again is when I Slowly start to Dive back into it.

Anxiety is the Worst I can Completely Relate to your Wife's Circumstance and am Glad that it is Easing up

Like you say that is having the Right People Around and Realising yourself you need a Little Extra Help

Thank you for Your Support and The Sub to My Channel :-) New Content will be up there Soon when I feel a little more up to it :-) Plus my DJ PC is Currently Loaned out to a Friend so her Kids can Play Fortnite

Been watching your Videos Dude despite being told to Leave the Pc Alone

Keep up the good Work!. Have you Watched CRG (Casual Retro Gamer) Channel? Right up your Street Buddy the CD32 Arcade Controller He makes is Phenomenal! Like you he made me feel very much Part of this Community dropping me A shout out in a Recent video He made. I only wish my Brain allowed me the Confidence to Create Such Great content! I know I don't have to be on Camera but something about just being behind the Camera doesn't allow the Person to get to know You Yourself (Does that make Sense? or am I Overthinking it?) I have made Dramatic Changes to my Man Cave while Taking a Break and now have Space for a Arcade Cabinet :-) I have a Plan to buy a Cabinet with a good Screen but Gutted out to Put all of my consoles into but hidden. Problem is now Controllers it would look Hella Ugly with loads of Wires and Controllers hanging out of the Front. Does anyone have a Idea? Sorry not x86 Related

You could look at using raspberry pi or Pandora box...

I know this buddy and thank you for pointing this out I do truly Appreciate it

Perhaps I should be more Clear in that the Arcade Cabinet is to Hide My games Consoles All in one Place and in Something that Suits My Man Cave which is Very Arcade like :-) (Now anyway). I live in a bedsit and the Amount of Stuff I own really is a Struggle to not look a Complete mess when on Display which is Depressing! (Practicality is key at this Point)

lesta_smsc · 08 September 2019, 02:53

You want a universal adaptor then so you can wire one controller to all the consoles!?

haha cheers mate. And yeah I watch CRG as well. The Irish guy. Love the joystick project.

Another good channel I found recently is "David retro games played badly". He's another one with a nice simple format, targeting his personal memories.

Re you overthinking making videos, no you're not overthinking it. You in fact have a good understanding of what it is. It is "public speaking" which is well known for being the MOST FEARED thing. I'm not kidding.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/b...ear-more-death

So your fear is actually only natural.

In my life I've had to present training workshops for a living, and even had to do a Keynote (I didn't realise I was the keynote speaker which is amusing in itself).

But some of the workshops I did,.....in fact MANY were done online, which I guess makes the move into doing these vids a little easier.

Forget the "masses" as let's face it, when you begin, they dont exist.

Instead concentrate on the 1 person watching.

Treat it more like a Skype call to a friend or family member.

Again, due to my family all being in the UK and me being in Aus, this is something that I dont find natural but have had to get over and just "do it" to stay in touch.

So mate, if you really want to do it, when you're ready....i'd suggest....

1) Maybe start with you being OFF screen
2) Maybe even start with JUST gameplay and not speaking at all?
3) Records a few you dont even intended to upload. You may be surprised and opt to upload them regardless.
4) Maybe do 2 player, so it's you and a mate. This can make it easier to be yourself.
5) Just have fun and DO NOT give 2 shits what anyone thinks.

Finally got around to properly setting up my ‘rig’, which in reality a very unassuming looking small form factor dell desktop from the early 2000’s.
I’ve gone for a voodoo graphics (not voodoo2) primarily to play Screamer 2.

What are the showcase games for voodoo 1, stuff that really shows it off and that you just cant see or play anywhere else? Or where the 3dfx version is superior by miles?
I already have Unreal which is really impressive.
Anything else from that era I should look at?

Fissuras · 30 September 2019, 00:41

Tomb Raider I and II are great with 3dfx. Tomb I is a pure MSDOS game (I see it as a bonus), while II is a Win95/98 only.

edit: Try also Descent: Freespace
