Re: Patent Suggests Samsung May Create Its Own Foldable Handheld Console

Mommar

@N00BiSH I had a Samsung Z4 Fold for two years and now have a Z6 Fold. I love them. The wireless died on the first one after about a year and I had to get a replacement but since I paid the extra $200 for the Samsung coverage I had a replacement in three days. Samsung could do a better job getting them thinner and decreasing the crease in the middle (which I've heard they have greatly reduced in the Korea/China only Z6 Special Edition) but otherwise they've been pretty great. I like being able to multi-task and do stuff like do financial planning and look at accounts at the same time. I watch videos on it all the time. And it works fantastic for reading books/comic books... as long as you aren't in direct sunlight. I have also splurged and got the $2100 1TB model both times because I also DJ and I move A LOT of music onto the phone to preview while driving/traveling. The one downside, which Google addressed on the Pixel 9 Fold, is that the front screen while closed is every so slightly too skinny to be comfortable to use. The P9F has a screen that is the width of every other normal phone so you can whip it out on the go without having to open it up. My thought is if you're constantly go-go-go most of the Fold phones won't work for you. If you have time to sit the the fold is really useful.

There's also a rumor Samsung is going to try out a tri-fold (which is really a tri-screen, bi-fold) that will open up into a full 10" tablet which I would be all for if it were thin enough to

Not really sure about this weird "dust" issue people talk about. I live in New Mexico where dust is a way of life, never had a problem with dust or creases.

Re: Soapbox: Marvel Vs. Capcom Was The Unsung Hero Of The June Nintendo Direct

@EarthboundBenjy Due to it's combination of licenses it's already rare to release, not every one of these games has been ported to console either, ports have been flawed in some fashion most of the time, none of them have ever appeared on a Nintendo platform before either. And the sales debacle that was Marvel Versus Capcom: Infinite, with the Marvel decree of no X-Men (which this entire fighting genre began with), and a clearly half-assed art direction meant people rejected it and sales tanked and people believed Capcom would never attempt anything like this again.
