This started as a sleeper build, but I decided to mess around with the current hardware for a while. Windows 98 was amazing back in the gaming days… but it’s very difficult to use these days due to it’s age and it’s really difficult to find drivers. However, I… kinda got it working.

I used to pretend to only use mouse and keyboard, but the truth is: I use all these controllers on my PC. I’m constantly thinking about the ways we interface with our games… In the last video, I discussed what I think is the king of controller designs: The PlayStation Dual Shock and the Xbox-style controllers. These are basically the layout used by all modern games on all modern systems… they are a distillation, if you will. But, how did we get to this design? In this video, I discuss the elements that got us here and the innovations that gave us what we have now. I’ll check out the NES, SNES, DualShock 1, Xbox, and several other controllers and narrow it all down to what I’m calling, “The most important controller ever made.” —————————– Discord: discord.gg/vsCxNSD Twitch: www.twitch.tv/midnightdojo/ Twitter: twitter.com/teksyndicate/ For marketing (sponsorship …

It wasn’t quite as easy to navigate when compared to Windows 7, but if felt a bit more like a desktop OS… and then there’s Windows 11. We compare Windows 7’s features and ease of use with Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Check out the video and let me know what you think. Also, PLAY Hollow Knight. It’s amazing.

It’s easily one of the most beautiful games ever made, has an awesome soundtrack, and is dripping with style. The plot may be nonsense, but it’s beautiful nonsense that pulls on your brain. The style isn’t just skin deep. This game has character and it’s characters have character. There’s just character everywhere. The little bits of dialog from NPCs, the homages, and the ridiculous nonsense make this something special. Check out the video to see why I think this is worth playing.

Anime Rendering 101: Best HandBrake Settings Explained – H.265 & Opus
GET A VPN you scoundrels! teksyndicate.com/pia Anime rendering is VERY serious business… and that is why I have created this video to help you make the highest quality anime renders at the smallest file sizes. I use h.265 for video, opus for audio, and there’s several tricks to maximize quality. A note on opus for audio: Opus is not supported by every player on the market and some users have had issues with mobile viewing. I watch these files on an Android tablet using Jellyfin OR VLC and have never had any issues, but if you are worried, use AAC. Here’s my video on Jellyfin: Get HandBrake here: github.com/HandBrake/HandBrake/releases Discord: discord.gg/vsCxNSD Twitch: www.twitch.tv/midnightdojo/ Twitter: twitter.com/teksyndicate/ For marketing (sponsorship opportunities) inquiries email [email protected] Ask us ANYTHING: [email protected] Gallery… GRAIN vs ANIMATION!

The titles will tell you which preset was used (animation, grain, or none). Hope this helps! Ghost in the Shell 1995 (From the 4k Bluray) Neon Genesis Evangelion (Japanese Bluray)

Hardware is just a means to an end. So my first long-form video essay is on Elden Ring, and I think it’s a good topic for many reasons. First, as a newcomer to From Software games, I think my perspective is a little different. Hopefully I can help bridge a gap between the hardcore and the newbies. I had a few great experiences with members of the community… but many toxic experiences. I’ll cover that in the video. Next up, Elden Ring is one of the highest-rated games of all time. I think it’s a great game, but giving it a perfect score is extremely dishonest. I’m curious to know what you think of the video.

I have Tamriel Rebuilt and the preview data installed in my game, and if you are doing a play-through, I would not recommend the preview content.
