Cleans up very nice. You can run this in 1080p also without much of a difference. 720p cleans up nice, as well.

I've worked in IT for 15 years now (on/off). I've worked at every level and in many different areas from software, hardware, to governance and infrastructure.

I was auditing the Knowledge Base of my current company the other day. I noticed one SME/author called a scrollbar "the elevator button" in a document I was proofreading.

Never saw/heard someone call a scrollbar "the elevator button" before. I made the revision to "scrollbar" a few times with a sensible chuckle :guilded_lol:

Luckily I know how to edit video. Any video I upload that is something of mine I will make sure to export it into a "file size friendly" compression. I'll use something like a "Twitter 720p" preset, which keeps larger videos to smaller MB file sizes. It varies depending on your source material, of course, but it drastically helps.

This not only helps the host, but also anybody trying to play the file (quicker load times/no buffering).

They always roll these things out first under the guise of "protecting children/teens", which is total BS.

Just like the stupid lockdowns and "vaccines", DO NOT COMPLY. DO NOT submit your bio metric data to these demons. Just say goodbye to Discord for good.

This goes beyond your personal data, this is to destroy privacy as a concept. They are using these platforms to coerce people into accepting government surveillance and an incoming social credit score via AI control.

2026-02-08T18:51:48Z

Recently got Wren in Phantasy Star III. I did remember to buy him a weapon before you find him in that dungeon (has no equipment and is level 1).

What I did forget is he is a magic/tech user (offense) in PSIII, which is weird. I leveled him up to 7 before the next dungeon (where I get Lyle) and I have him focused on the Gra spell.

Also, the overworld music gained a third layer of sound. Can't wait for the band to be complete with 5 party members and the drumming kicks in! :rashdance:

2026-02-08T03:14:32Z

I am replaying Phantasy Star III, my first new game in many years.

I applied just one ROM Hack for double walk speed, and I think it greatly improves the gameplay because PSIII has slowwww walk speed.

For this one I chose the classic Gens emulator. Gens has great graphic rendering options, and the default setting (shown here) really cleans up a ROM.

From my original 90s Phantasy Star IV cartridge with my original 90s Sega Genesis.

I captured this with one of those cheap Amazon RCA to HDMI boxes, then recorded the gameplay with OBS.

Side note: The battery on this PSIV cart for the static RAM is still good. I last checked a few years ago when I recorded this clip and my original saves from the 90s are still there.

RE: https://retro-gaiden.com/@helperfren/115873996196871992

I also posted this to Gab last night and I got a couple "femboy tranny" trolling accounts pushing their BS worldviews in the comments.

I equally apply this logic to any pro-WN-1488 account and block them if they're pushing their BS in a video game post. I don't believe in the false "left/right" paradigm.

One thing I learned over the many years using the internet and socials? It's more likely some government intel spooks are behind these accounts. They want you to interact, so I just block.

The Panasonic 3DO launched in 1993 with a huge $700 price tag. Poor sales lead to them lowering the price one year later in 1994 to $400, but too late, it priced itself out of existence by 1996.

Panasonic 3DO @ $700 in 1993 is the equivalent to $1500+ today.

These are the top main console prices in 2025:
- Switch 2: $450-$500
- PS5: $450-$650
- Xbox Series X: $600-$800

I looked into stuff a while ago and it finally made sense why Torba went all in on their own AI years ago instead of focusing on Gab TV. The dude is yoked up with technocrats like Peter Thiel, (probably gets funding from them, too)

Totally see Gab as a honeypot to collect data from dissenters. Plus, I cannot stand that "Christian Nationalist" dividing "left- vs. right" garbage Torba and those in his circles spew 24/7. Not very born again at all.
