I know next to nothing about "gamergate" as I don't really follow the industry itself.

I haven't gotten overwhelming amounts of it in my various feeds. I guess maybe unfollow a few who tend to trend-chase?

I find that head-canon is way more important than actual canon these days... especially with legacy sequels everywhere.

True enough. Also I have the movie on Blu-ray... Serenity I think it's called. From what I recall a bunch of the main characters are dead so it's no use bringing it back.

Second one wasn't localized because I guess it was trash compared to the first.

Fun movies! Excellent audio.

I liked that show, but honestly I can't remember much about it. The main thing I remember is that Nathan Fillion reminded me of Drake from the Uncharted games. I'm sure that's not a coincidence at all being that Drake's first name is Nathan.

Oh that looks FUN to replace! By "fun" I mean "not fun"

No it's physically broken.

Oh nice! I looked at that and could not find RA10, I only found RA5.

OK guys thanks (it's a resistor ladder/array). I ordered some 4.7kohm and some 10kohm ones and we'll see if they work.

Thanks guys. Yeah I'm not sure of the value as it had no marking. The thing is physically broken, so I'm afraid I can't measure it. Might just take a chance with the 4.7k

I have no idea what it is

Does anyone have a spare working 9-pin chip (memory I'm assuming) like the one circled for a Sega System 32 arcade PCB? I specifically need the one that goes in RA10 but I assume they're all the same and this one was easier to photograph.

Man I loved going to these types of stores and browsing. Gave me a reason to get out of the damn house, lol.

What Sega did was just make the sound effects lower sampling rate and lower bit rate. Still uncompressed. So whereas PlayStation would have a 16-bit 44.4khz-sounding sound effect, the Saturn would play back that same sample at 8-bit 22000Hz.

I mean... yeah. Gotta love it

Yeah, leave it to Sega to screw up the dev kit. Not sure how they could screw THAT up of all things, but they found a way.

03.03.2026 10:24 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah not even close. Compare sound and voices on multiplatform games and there's no contest.

Gotta admit... when it comes to sound, the Saturn kinda sucks.

Why do so many Saturn 3rd party games play only in mono? Even if they have a stereo option... MONO!Sometimes the FMVs are stereo, but the game itself is mono. Case in point: Alien Trilogy. Many others.

Yes my console is set to stereo.

Where was your post on X? Must've missed that one.

Phantasy Star 2's music is... narcissistic????

NEW EPISODE!

Let's look at this Wii U thing.

Super cool, thanks! I never use the home page. I did check though and it seems to work even with it paused.

I don't even know what my watch history is

I remember! Gotta be honest though, the perspective of the dungeons here is not as well-drawn (or correct) as Phantasy Star 1's dungeons. They just had a guy draw them who understood "vanishing point" and nothing else when it comes to 3D perspective drawing.

Leave it to @YouTube to start ruining the basic subscriptions feed that I bookmark at www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions
Now it has "Most relevant" on top instead of latest, and there seems to be no way to switch it. I don't rely on clicking dumb bells or anything, this is what I use.

Any reason vs using the normal method? We usually put other smol things up on that rack.
