Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Tommorow last day for eshop sale for uk. Picked up Octo expansion.

@Octane Says you...
The Mad Titan does NOT agree...

Besides, @ReaderRagfihs actually did already mention that game on the previous page.
So, no eyes of the hawk, then, I suppose...

EDIT:
Aaaannndd he beat me to it...

@Knuckles-Fajita Make a mental note to self: a human hand is NOT a chew-toy. I repeat...

@ThanosReXXX Hey, it's not my fault @ReaderRagfihs decided to put everything in alphabetical order, except for Bomberman! Eyes of the hawk went on vacation after the first pitcher; I blame the beer

@Octane
"Why a multiple of 12 though? What's wrong with 17 games, or 21? "

The reason i set quota number with 12 or 24 and multiple of 12 because it based on Maximum capacity of HORI card case for NDS, 3DS, Switch. (6 / 12 / 24)
It also did the same thing with console games (6 / 12 / 24)
If I set quota number with any number but multiple of 12, it will have some Empty spaces.
Quota of 17 / 21 don't have any relation with age rating.

@ThanosReXXX It's weird having a dog who comfort chews. But whatever. If it's my hand he likes he can enjoy it.

@ReaderRagfihs Thanks, great post. While supporting makers and sellers of counterfeit games is kinda scummy, is there any difference in performance between a fake GBA cart and a legit one? I think I've already bought a fake Castlevania cart, been a while since I tested it but I think it worked OK in my DSLite.

@Anti-Matter but why does V=Yes - what's the connection?

@gcunit
V = Approval sign.

Remember Glover for the N64?
Pretty unique platformer, the only one I can think of where you play as a glove.

@Knuckles-Fajita Don't get me wrong (and of course I was also partially kidding), I really love animals,
except just not to the point where I'll ever allow them to mangle parts of my body into unusable or
less functional appendages. Well, at least not of my own accord.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention hygiene, risk of bacterial infection. Dog mouths aren't exactly the epitomy of cleanliness...

@Anti-Matter That's not a V, that's a check mark, which (contrary to a V) has uneven sides.
V is for Victory. Or for The Voice...

@ThanosReXXX
Well, i cannot type a Check mark here, so i used V instead. 😅

@Anti-Matter There are emojis of it. ✅ ✔️ ☑️

Vacation's almost over, but I had a great time with the marvelous world of Danganronpa on my Vita. And I also slept a lot. So it was pretty great. I regret eating so much Mcdonalds though...

@Anti-Matter Aha, that's another thing entirely: not being able to type it (although you could copy/paste a check mark symbol from Microsoft Office Word: ✔ ), but you said that V is for good, which it isn't.

But you could of course also use a capital O for yes, or instead of V for yes and X for no, simply use Y and N for yes and no. Anyway, we know what you mean now, so I guess it's okay if you keep using V...

@JackEatsSparrows Great idea!

Never played Bomber Man on the GBA. My list of games if I remember (friend has borrowed them) are:
Minish Cap
Mortal Kombat Advance
Need for Speed
Ghost Rider
A Link To The Past
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission
Castlevania Circle of the Moon

@ReaderRagfihs
Interesting... thanks for the info!

So why for discussing resolution of images and games did we name the standard resolutions based on the pixel count of the horizontal axis, namely 240p, 480p, 720p and 1080p, but the second we hit "4k" it's not 2160p, but "4k".

Why did we change the axis used? Why is resolution suddenly named for the vertical axis?

Imagine displaying the resolution increases on a graph. You'd have all the points labelled 240p, 480p etc. showing the increase in pixels on the Y axis, but the point labelled "4k" would only show a jump to 2000 pixels or so.

It just drives me nuts that the standard convention was broken for the sake of marketing.

Then again, anything to sell you on something being better than it is.

"THIS TV IS 4k!!!"

And an idiot consumer would expect 4k in the same way they got 1080p. But its not in the direction they'd expect.

Not that they'd know. Consumers get told they want something and buy it.

Hey, the site was finally fixed while I slept! I went to shower last night, then came back and found that the CSS/styling was all borked. I thought it was something with Firefox on my laptop until I got the same results on my phone.
