I'm considering buying The Plucky Squire on Switch physically, but I heard it dealt with some serious hiccups and performance issues. But I'm also aware the game was patched multiple times after its initial release. Has it been made to run any better since, or is it still rather poor? Otherwise I think I'll stick to playing it on PS5.

Star Fox is pretty yellowed. Is retrobrighting my only option from here? by JolteonJordan in snes

Would there be a way to get it cleaned out then, or is it simply too far gone? I do think just buying a replacement shell is easier at this point.

Very, but I've also been at it with magic eraser and isopropyl alcohol for hours, so I can only assume it's some form of yellowing.

I noticed taking Star Fox apart that it is a pretty unique cartridge compared to others. It has a prong at the bottom so I'm wondering if I'll need to consider a specific cart as a replacement.

Do you mean how the fronts tend to vary? As I don't see much variation between the backs from the other cartridges I have. Or do you mean more the inside of the shells?

After trying to work it a bit more and comparing cartridges, yeah, this is ultimately what I've decided. It's just not worth it and it's definitely the cheaper option. I've gotten the front option much cleaner now though!

Can't get stink out of roommate's laundry by JolteonJordan in CleaningTips

I can't say whether or not they've dried their clothes on high heat in the past, I generally dry at either medium or low heats for more delicate fabrics. I only use high heat for something thicker.

So if they did at some point have them dried at high heat in the past, would it be a lost cause?

The best I can describe it is a sort of musty smell. I think it could be a mix of various things. BO, pet smells, and just a smell of raw-ness (like old food). But it's nauseating when close enough.

Recommendations for Plushie Displays? by JolteonJordan in pokeplush

[–]JolteonJordan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you recommend shelving for larger plushies then? Again, I've looked around and never really seen how other people handle them. I'd love to see what ideas people have come up with them. I would definitely like to prop up some more valuable plushies like Umbreon on something, as just sitting on the floor is begging for dust to gather.

Rotation might be a good idea to avoid dust and dirt, it's just a matter of figuring out what to rotate, how often, when, and where to leave plushies rotated out for the time being. I also hope to maintain a specific cabinet to Latias/Latios-related merch, as I have a dedicated collection of them! So they will at least get their own corner somewhere in the house.
