General / Re: Best Video Game Rental Memories

« on: June 19, 2023, 10:30:46 am »

Never rented a game until Redbox was offering them. The rental store that was in my hometown closed long before I had got my first game system. Others were just I guess too far away.

Only real memory I have renting a game at redbox is that I rented Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 before it snowed and the next day after it stopped snowing I was Shoveling out the driveway just so I could go return it.

Well... been too busy playing it to write anything about it.

I've just been having a blast playing it. The Hyrule's bigger, and it's neat seeing what similar and all the changes that have happened during the time gap between BotW and TotK

I love finding amusement in the little thing new features bring. Like how you can Fuse a Mine Cart to a shield and shield Surfing makes you Hyrule's Pro Skater and actually grind Rails.

Only complaint is I don’t like X being Jump. I just wish Run(B) and Jump(X) were reversed. Yeah I can swap them in system settings, but it doesn't change the button prompts on screen  so there were quite a few times I went to open the glider, hit the button shown on the screen and fell to my death.

General / Re: What studio acquisitions do you predict we could see this year and why?

« on: April 16, 2023, 01:46:26 pm »

Activision bought King games (Candy Crush Saga) back in 2016 for 5.9 billion...

So maybe 1 billion for Rovio isn't bad, but it looks like they really only have Angry Birds as far as IP's go.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent- It's entertaining. Laugh out loud quite a few times especially the LSD scene. Just a good solid famous actor is in over there head movies... Which I feel I've seen a few movies with that kind of style before but the only other one I can think of is My Name is Bruce. Overall it's a recommendation to at least see once especially if you're a Nick Cage fan

General / Re: Yellowing screens of moderns handhelds?

« on: March 28, 2023, 10:28:52 pm »

Sunlight is my first thought for that

plastics are known to yellow over time though I mainly know this happens to epoxy resin

It might also be plausible the backlights are starting to go though I would expect them to dim more then yellow outside of say some form of blue light filter. Which I don't believe any system has.

Maybe broaden your search for answers to more then just handheld. I'd imagine it could also be a problem with phones, tablets, computer screens, etc.
