Patreon plugin for subscribers seems to be working properly now! Hopefully I won't have to upgrade people by hand anymore... I am now taking suggestions for long-term site improvements. What kind of features would you guys like to see? What kind of things do you feel current FGC sites are not providing? Blogs? Tournaments? Player ranking system? Wiki? Streamed events? I will be doing research into different ways to possibly expand the site in the future.

Did you know? In Asia the big cockroaches FLY. 🙃

That's ok. I'm here to say it instead. WHERE YOUR ETHERNET CABLE AT?

I like Retroarch. If you take the time to set it up the way you want you have one centralized place where you can manage multiple emulators/rom sets/saves.

I look forward to command grabbing your Cetrion.

No no no. Once you get over the hurdle you will see the light. It's worth the extra effort!

His card could also be thermal throttling.

Yeah something really isn't right. @GetTheTablesif you wanna troubleshoot over Discord some time let me know.

Your system can run the game comfortably at max settings. You don't need to set it to medium at all. Something is wrong -- maybe you don't have proper drivers installed?

The mirror reveals the true darkness that lies hidden deep within your soul.

Yes that system is more than enough to run that game no problem. Post screenshot of your current graphics settings.

Please post system specs.

The over-the-shoulder off-angle cab footage really makes it.

Don't forget the OP and ED compilation:

Hover over the thread title. If it says 'Click and hold to edit title' then you can edit it. If you need help changing a thread title let me know. This is the MEGASHOCK+ subscriber support thread btw.

I've turned on benefits for current subscribers. Increased avatar file size limit for MEGA Elite members. Still no word from the plugin author. Hope he gets back to me tonight.

Alright I'm on the case. What do the kids like these days? I'm throwin' out all these fighting game themes and putting in Among Us/Fortnite/Warzone. I gotta figure out a way to add gacha/loot boxes to the forum too.

If you have everything safely backed up then just turn the computer off. If the drive gets fucked it doesn't matter. It sounded like your drive was dying anyway. Order a SSD and get that PC working properly ASAP.

You can only embed external images from a secure site. Most major sites and services (like imgur and discord) use SSL and are secure, but if you're grabbing the image from some dinky blog or something then it may not be. You can tell a site is secure because you will often see a little lock icon in the address bar next to the site address. URLs for secure sites start with https:// (note the 'S'). If your link only shows http:// then it probably comes from an insecure site and won't embed.

How big is the drive? Do you have your important things backed up? If you reboot while chkdsk is actually doing something you can fuck up your drive.

The PC is a powerful tool. The added power comes at the cost of added complexity, but honestly it's no big deal. In regards to fighting games there is occasional weirdness with controllers, but for the most part it's a non-issue. Steam can translate almost any controller to xinput, which is the standard for PC games. Your PS3/PS4/Switch controllers should work just fine once you set the Steam controller mapping up. Alternatively, if you own a stick with a xbox (xinput) mode you will pretty much have 0 issues. A respectable PC will cost 1.5-2x the price of a console, but you'll be able to use it for years and upgrade it over time. With consoles you buy a new machine whenever Sony/MS/Nintendo tell you to. With a PC you can choose when/what you upgrade based on your needs. The added cost is balanced by having way more control over your experience and how much money you want to put in/how long you want to use your machine. Probably the biggest perk of a PC is the raw performance and game library. With a PC you get access to emulation, as well as the ability to play lots of legacy titles on Steam/Epic/GOG/etc. The idea of a 'remaster' is really a console thing, since a lot of them don't look any better than the PC versions of the same game released many years ago. There's no need to wait for a remaster to be sold to you when you can play the original with newer hardware any time you want. There are also many games that only have life on PC because they are either never made for console or were originally made for consoles that nobody uses anymore. I wouldn't recommend a PC to everyone and the new consoles are certainly very powerful, but there are definitely advantages to owning one. If you want to just play games and not worry about anything then console is still the way to go -- but if you want more versatility, power, and the ability to do other stuff (like streaming/content creation) then a PC is a no-brainer.

No worries -- Patreon is sending me notifications when people sub. I have a full list of active members that I can see through Patreon. Linking accounts is just so that the forum plugin can detect your pledge and grant you subscription benefits...but it's not working right now so the linking is kind of useless atm. Hoping I can get that plugin working by tonight...

He's no Kano though. 😤

Working with the plugin developer to get things sorted. If things don't work out I'll just do it by hand. Thanks for your patience! 🙏

I am in contact with the plugin developer. If I'm not able to solve the problem I will manually upgrade you and everyone else who has subscribed.
