  • oh definitely. Games just felt differently back then. It was rarer for games to hold your hand, too. Not to say that that was always a good thing, sometimes it was quite annoying I guess, but maybe it was part of the reason games felt different. Combined with having to find stuff out on your own, you literally were on your own, yeah.

    There are many things though that make this era of gaming special, this one is just something I often think of.

    The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games?

  • No, not quite. 60fps (or 50fps for PAL regions) was basically always the target for 2D games rendered at 240p, because it was easily achievable with the hardware and looked way better.

    When 3D games started to appear with the release of the PS1, Saturn and N64, 60fps was often out of the question because the hardware wasn't powerful enough.

    Interlacing doesn't really have anything to with that. Interlacing just means that of the 480 lines of resolution, only half get shown on screen every frame (always the even or uneven ones). Since the image gets rendered in 480p anyway, it doesn't matter whether or not the game gets rendered at 60fps or not.

    Except when using field rendering, which was popular on the PS2. There, only the lines that get shown that frame get rendered, which is why it only works at 60fps. Maybe that was what you were thinking about?

  • I actually like that left-right motion. It means that its harder to drift and get a speed boost. Not just holding a button like in most other MK games. I imagine its better on a dpad than an analog stick though, so I guess its still good that they moved away from it.

  • I don't know, it's cool that there's finally a use for the port, but just being able to use Bluetooth controllers and having a few audio enhancements isn't really something most people waited for, I think. The price is also kinda high for that.

  • I recently bough a new flashlight, a Wurkkos FC11C to be exact. It's pretty good for the price, and it really can't hurt to have a good flashlight around. I made a post about it in [email protected] about it, and there are some other posts too.

  • That's funny, I've actually been playing through it for the first time recently. I played NEO 2 years ago and loved that, and I definitely love the og game too.

    Really cool and creative game, both from gameplay and story. And mate, the music, its fucking art. Like the rest of both games, yeah.

  • Just 10$? That sounds almost too good to be true. Are they of the same quality?

    What do you mean with better batteries? Just ones that are of higher quality than the supplied one?

    A light like this does seem useful for power outages and the likes. I don't have a backup bag or anything, but now that you're talking about it, I probably should. Maybe not for 72h, but something smaller can't hurt. I guess I'll start looking for some other equipment that could be of use.

    And yes, the lowest setting is really good. According to the manual, it can last for almost 21 days. And it's definitely useable at that brightness, too.

    I'm finally one of you guys. I bougth a Wurkkos FC11C 2 weeks ago. I never owned a quality flashlight before, it's insane what you can get for 26€.

    And yes, this is the halloween edition. They just had that on their site when I wanted to buy the flashlight, so I thought why not. I think it looks pretty funny. It was technically delivered on halloween as well, but I wasn't at home at the time. That's why I only have it since last saturday. Anyway, it's a pretty nice flashlight, really bright for the size:

    It just feels so nice to use and gives you the impression that you have something high quality in your hand.

    Also thanks to y'all for making posts in this sub. Looking aroung this community let me to get this flashlight. It's n

  • Thanks for sharing, just tried it out. It seems really well made, especially since its the first version. It even has a built in PDF viewer. Not bad. I might actually replace Material Files with it, which is what I was using until now.

  • Yeah, its absolutely not a space problem. The Samsung S10e has a headphone jack, a SD card slot, and has a 5.8" display. Its way smaller than the vast majority of phones today, yet it has all of these features.

    I think we all know the reason apple removed it was because they can sell you the worse product for more.

    Gamecube, PS2 and Wii just chilling in the evening sun. This picture just kinda happened, I thought you would appreciate it too.
