OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[Striiker]

I actually got a few of the good mid tier promos from this team. Danilo, Neres, and Sorloth.

My storage is full of 83+. I need to do one of these SBCs. Maybe Palmer.

I bought Sorloth to try. Not as hard to maneuver as I expected.

Not to dissuade you, but I heard bad things about Palmer.

Yeah. I’m not eager to do any of them but I can’t open packs until I do one of them. I need a CAM and he has 5 star skills at least. Too bad they nerfed technical plus this year.

Lampard looks decent for an 86 and he can go into one of the evos.

anyone play grim dawn? any good?

Ha that’s ridiculous. I’ve never packed his gold.

Btw Palmer is pretty good so far. Plus the celly.

My luck is either horrendous or incredible. No in-between.

Oh nice. I assume you’re playing him at CAM? What’s your team looking like now?

That was a better pull than my entire 85x20.

I was running the 4213 but I don’t have great DMs. This is what I ran in Rivals. I’m probably skipping WL. I saw Rank 1 rewards that were ass lol.

Nice, you’ve gotten some really solid pack luck. Not the top elite guys, but a lot of good cards. Even the reserves are nasty.

I went back to the 4-4-2 and I’m not switching again.

That Xavi is tradeable and I think I missed the boat to sell again lol.

What roles do you put on the attackers. I find 442 crowded up front sometimes and the midfield wide open on the counters.

I’d set it up a little different if I had better options (chem requirements handcuff me a bit) but this has really been working for me since I switched back this past week.

Obviously putting “tactical defending” on instead of “advanced” has been massive too. I didn’t even realize my stupid ass was making the game 10x harder than it had to be.

Enjoyable to the point I forgot I played it and played it again with it taking a substantially long time to realize I played it before.

I switched back too and it's a lot better for spamming.

So my brother got me a raspberry pi with a bunch of games on it for Xmas. My son (6yo) and I have been messing around with it.

I made him try mega man X for SNES and while he was terrible, he loved it. He started making mega man out of legos after he was done playing.

@trostol it was good, don’t let that ringing endorsement sway you, especially if it’s on sale.
I think @JojoTheWhale put me onto it.

Now do battletoads, or the water level on the NES teenage mutant ninja turtles game. Break his spirit.
What exactly did he get you? I’d love an emulator thing but well I’m stupid.

He’ll, one of the lion king games is critically bugged on the stampede level. Either the sega or the snes version as per one of the devs claim it literally cannot be beaten.

It’s basically an emulator. I don’t honestly know how it works. He set it up for me.

Everyone kept saying this was the sweatiest WL of the year.

I was suspicious.

Hoooooly shit, they were right.

Yep. It’s a tiny PC that has emulators and ROMs (games) loaded onto a Micro SD card. I made one for my wife with somewhere over a thousand games on it.

Have him make me one

Cheapest way to go about setting up a legit one?
I have the nes mini if that helps.

Isn’t your wife in IT or something? She can absolutely do this without breaking a sweat.

Yes but her companies going thru some stuff. She modded a bunch of nes games on the mini but if I could get something hooked up to a diy arcade cabinet I’d be in heaven

The entire box is going to be 4” x 3” or so. You can attach it to anything you want.

I’m not sure what is and isn’t over the line, so here’s a tutorial I know is legal. Note to Mods: There are no ROMs on this site.

I’m one win away from promotion and getting my Rival points. I’ve only lost one game in Div 4. Purposely relegating myself on the last day of the season paid off lol.

If I get bored tomorrow I might play a couple Champs games so I can play qualifiers again. That is the only casual mode in the game.
