  • I have an R36S which looks like the same form factor, and it is pretty uncomfortable all around. It is really small, and my fingers overlap behind the console when holding it. The shoulder buttons aren’t the worst I have ever used, but trying to use thumbsticks means holding it in a way that makes me feel like I will easily drop it.

    I don’t know if this is just because I have large hands / long fingers, but I personally find myself wishing for a PSP or GBA form factor instead, simply for comfort. Actually, even a GPD XD form factor would be really nice, but I doubt I could see something like that for the same price of $40 USD.







  • PSN being down is a tale as old as time. When the PS3 was out and before the PS4 was announced PSN had been down like at least once a month. It was well known as the least reliable gaming network. Even though Nintendo had their “Nintendo WiFi Connection” which was basically P2P and super garbage, it did not go down like PSN did.

    Xbox Live was vastly more reliable, likely because Microsoft has a better understanding of how to run a network, and they took the subscription money and reinvested it back into Xbox Live, growing and bolstering it to the point that it has its reputation for being the most reliable of the 3 gaming networks.




  • What is even the point of this? It doesn’t seem to say that it includes the ability to have your friends join in on your games, which is the entire point of LAN parties, so I have to assume that it does not have that feature. LAN parties aren’t about me coming to your house to watch you play a game by yourself, its about me bringing ny rig to your house so we can play a game together without all the added latency of being on the internet. We get extremely low ping and get to play a multiplayer game together.

    This just looks like a worse version of VR Chat but with the ability to stream my gameplay into the “game.”











  • “Modernism” is a term used to refer to art and culture from 1930s-1940s America. Searching for something like furniture or architecture in that style would mean you use search terms like “modern furniture” or “modern architecture.” Can that really be considered “modern” anymore?

    When the PS4 and Xbox One are no longer the “previous gen” I will be calling them “next gen,” as that is the term most associated with those consoles. Even after the consoles were released and well into their lifespan they were still called “next gen.”

    I call future consoles that haven’t released yet “upcoming gen” or “future gen” interchangeably.
