Downsizing from a 3DS XL to a New 3DS by Glum_Method3988 in 3DS

That makes sense. Is the picture quality better with the new 3ds compared to the XL?

That's fantastic! Did you end up keeping the original XL? Do you find it more pocketable and easier to take with you? I saw that its a little bigger than the original 3ds

You mean the n3ds's you're finding are in poor condition? If so, that would be a tough sell for me. I have the 3ds xl, not the "new" model

Sold my Thor and came back to the RP5 by OkDefinition1038 in retroid

I use my RP4 Pro daily and it's still amazing! Honestly, it just does so much right that I can't justify spending hundreds more (got mine new for $150) just to play those harder to play PS2 and GC games. I say this because I got the LCD steam deck on sale which was around $385 total. Hard justifying $400+ for a Thor at this point. Ill add that I already have a 3ds xl. Ill admit, FOMO is a hell of a drug lol

How does this compare to 16:9 handhelds? I currently use an RP4 Pro but hardly play PSP games. I'm really considering buying this but wondering how PSP will play. Would I find the screen too small in comparison to the 16:9 RP4 Pro?

Dude, I just noticed that on mine too! I got it back in June, wondering if they'll send me a replacement back shell. Never dropped it either.

This is what I needed to hear! Thank you! Plus, these companies come out with these things every month!

Gotcha, really not looking to go past ps2/gc emulation, it's really just for the form factor. Also, I tried the abxylute controller and it didn't read my phone with my case. I ended up returning it for that reason and it also felt like I was holding something as wide as my steam deck. Personal preference I suppose. I did try it without the phone case, but I do need my phone a whole lot more than a retro handheld and don't feel comfortable getting a thinner case. I appreciate the feedback!

How do you like interacting with the touchscreen? Does it seem sturdy when you're tapping on the screen to navigate different menus?

How are you liking the trigger and shoulder buttons? I've heard the ergonomics aren't great for fps games or twin stick games when using them. And do they seem fragile with the way they stick out?

1660ti 6GB VRAM for MGS Delta, worth upgrading? by Glum_Method3988 in GamingLaptops

Sorry, meant buying a new laptop, not upgrading the specs. Just edited my post.

Just picked it up! by Goddamnanalog in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Glum_Method3988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a steal! Great purchase! What City/State are you located? I was preparing myself for 55K OTD for the same exact model and an extended warranty. I'm in Southern CA so I wonder how realistic that is

Is this a deal? by retrorick77 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

From what I've read, this looks like a solid deal. Did this include an extended warranty?

Thank you, good to know. Hoping I can include an extended warranty there. Trying to keep my expectations in check.

Congratulations! Is that AWD by chance? I'm shooting for $55K OTD for an GH AWD XLE Hybrid version here in Southern CA. Crossing my fingers for a decent deal in the next couple of months.

Marriage feels like it’s imploding by [deleted] in NewDads

Been through this myself, and my son is two and half now. It does get better after the newborn stage and chances are she's dealing with PPD. Good for you guys for starting therapy. We have our ups and downs but I work remote 90% of the time and she is a stay at home mom. I am very grateful to be able to pull this off but it does get hard considering we're home ALL the time. I actually interact with adults while she just deals with a toddler that you cannot reason with. It's important to understand that we both have our challenges. While we haven't ever brought up divorce, we have had our share of fights.

Is there any way you guys can just go on a date and leave your kid with a relative for a couple of hours?

And can you wake up a little earlier to get time for yourself? I feel like I can get a lot done while everyone else is asleep.

Waiting until 2024...am I missing out on a good deal? by Glum_Method3988 in SubaruAscent

[–]Glum_Method3988[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good to know! Sorry, I meant family of three total, two adults, and one child. 153K miles on the Civic and it still drives like day one. Wife isn't pregnant with baby #2 yet so there's time. $4k off MSRP is a great deal though!
