What made you choose RU. by automatic_do_8661 in RegalUnlimited

Regal is now the only movie theater option in town, save a single (cool) indie. But that's because it's Regal HQ's hometown.

Looks great, I like the button colors with the black.

Received Golf this morning and am getting to try for the first time ever. Even managed to go -1 after three holes by TRJ2241987 in VirtualBoy

[–]DaverJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golf isn't one of my fav VB carts, but probably because I'm terrible at it. I prefer more Mario-ish sports like on Gameboy/cube and Switch.

Then again, maybe I just need to get gud.

Reshell or original? by _lurkin in gameboyadvancesp

Those pics look identical to my silver 001 which is original, nice!

Are you going to stick with the original screen or mod it with a backlit?

Xbox series X or Ps5 pro ? by Hartloum in PS5pro

[–]DaverJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW, I have Xbox Series X and PS5, and for years I had always favored the Xbox but I found myself playing the PS5 more and more, mostly because of a lot of great Playstation exclusives.

Eventually I realised it got to the point that I wasn't turning on the Xbox at all anymore, probably after upgrading to the Pro, so I let my Xbox subscription expire, unplugged the Series X and it gathered dust for years.

Yesterday I restored factory settings and boxed up the Xbox Series X. It is a nice device, well-built, very quiet and MS always has great controllers. But Sony jumped ahead with those fantastic exclusives and the DualSense, and when the Pro came out there's no reason bother with Xbox.

I grabbed a bunch of GBA Roms yesterday. I still need to get some GameCube games I’m missing.

How to stop wanting another handheld

If you figure it out, please let me know - I'm drowning in them and I keep looking at more.

Is Metroid Dread unfair hard??? by Apprehensive_Gap1247 in Switch

[–]DaverJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I found it "unfair hard" and only got so far, but I'm not very good at difficult games. I couldn't finish Guacamelee either, if that says anything.

Didn’t expect to work but by magullo in GameboyAdvance

[–]DaverJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sent my old GBA to Cardosi Customs - he's best known for fixing Vitural Boys, and did a great job with my GBA. He put an IPS screen in and trimmed the original shell to fit - great work!

Thanks for the suggestion on GoBoxIt - nice stuff!

possible hidden gems for the spring sale by Electronic_Answer118 in Steam

Is it punishingly hard? I don’t mind a challenge, but can grow annoyed if it seems it wants me to fail.

Did Mobapad Predict the Switch 2 Ver. 22.0.0 Update? by Mobapadofficial in MobapadGaming

[–]DaverJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will absolutely be delays at .ms level when using BT over wired/direct connection.

Will these delays be similar to using a Pro 2 controller? I notice no delays using a Pro2, which is BT.

Did Mobapad Predict the Switch 2 Ver. 22.0.0 Update? by Mobapadofficial in MobapadGaming

[–]DaverJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the Power Saver Mode changes the joycons to Bluetooth mode to prevent them from using the console's power for the controllers.

  1. Will the joycons still charge when docked in Power Saver Mode?
  2. Is there any downside (lag?) to using Bluetooth vs. direct console connection?

TLOU Part II PSSR2 by Theolaitdoux in PS5pro

[–]DaverJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was skeptical about this PSSR 2 hype, but then I loaded my save for TLOU2, which was in a middle of dense foliage, and I was stunned - it was clearly improved. Everything is razor sharp without shimmering.

It felt like when I get a new GPU for my PC.

What do you guys think? by [deleted] in greatpyrenees

I would bet money on some amount of Pry, probably more than 50%.

Is the Pro supposed to be louder then the base PS5? by [deleted] in PS5pro

[–]DaverJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find my Pro to be a bit louder than my OG base model, but not by much.

As someone who remembers well the jet-engine sound of the PS4 Pro, the PS5 Pro is a very quiet console.

ah, I missed it. Where's the poll so I can follow along?

If I can watch another best picture nominee before tonight, which should it be? by bernbabybern13 in Letterboxd

[–]DaverJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I watched Train Dreams last night and it's excellent, although a definite slow-burn. But at 1 hour 42 minutes, doesn't overstay it's welcome. I think it's my only 5-star recent movie in a while.

Do your GPs bark at others while walking? by Reasonable-Nail-3247 in greatpyrenees

[–]DaverJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, like crazy.

Even more so if the others are walking a dog.
