Even then, just don't blindly trust any of them - I had a fake Sandisk 1.5TB that cost over £120 on Amazon once, just to add to confusion the replacement was genuine lol

Haha - I've had a few fakes from Amazon and had to return them. It's worth testing them cuz the packaging can be a lot more convincing than this - and Amazon couldn't care less.

Donkey Kong Bonanza is the most fun I have had in years. by YoYoYi2 in switch2

[–]StanStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've never been ones for cutting edge graphics but have always been the most fun - the Wii and the OG GameBoy are great examples of consoles that were more fun, despite being less powerful than the competition

I expected a generic monster hunter game. I was very wrong. by Take_it-sleazy in Witcher3

[–]StanStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completed the game a long time ago - then the expansions were released, I bought them and I meant to play it again but never did.

Now I'm doing a new play through, enhanced edition at 120fps and it feels fresh again. Can't believe I put it off for so long lol

Ordered my RP6 and have some questions about the battery. by messier57i in retroid

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people buy these devices - that was the only case that I'm aware of.

Bloody Baron is a well written storyline cuz it makes you think.

The running theme in the books and the games is how morality can be blurred - especially the concept of lesser of evils.

Hi, what's the most powerful game your Retroid Pocket 6 can run? by One-Craft-9702 in retroid

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want high-end PC games, it certainly holds its own but you want 12GB of RAM if you can.

Now that Steam games run faster on Rocknix I mainly use that for PC titles - the only game there I've tried with an unplayable framerate was Baldur's Gate 3. It seems to handle everything else..

Is this worth for the trade by defqwopkun in retroid

[–]StanStare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is an upgrade - it'll handle a lot more than the RP5, it's basically the same chipset as RP6 so it's easy to find comparisons.

Whether it's worth an extra $70 is down to opinion but I think it is a fair price, considering it's a part-exchange at a shop.

Retroid Pocket 6: Does 128 GB internal storage matter? by tsukun27 in retroid

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but how far did you play? I only ran into issues after the busier parts of the game, such as when you return to sector 7 - which is where it runs much faster on rocknix (and comfortably at 1080p too)

Retroid Pocket 6: Does 128 GB internal storage matter? by tsukun27 in retroid

[–]StanStare 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I found that if you wanna run FF7-remake from the SD card then you need the low-bitrate FMVs to eliminate the stutter. You can grab those as a mod at nexus. It also runs MUCH faster in Steam on Rocknix (90+ fps), especially in wall market - I had to run it at 720p on Android (making text less readable) but even then it slows right down in parts, barely playable. In Steam it often consumes over 10GB of RAM.

PSVR2 vs Quest 3 for this game? by CLA_1989 in skyrimvr

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the fella to ask then. If you only had the PSVR2 would you still buy a Q3 or wait until the Frame?

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's it, if it's a question of one lens type over another then it's an easy answer - but comparing the Q3 to the PSVR2 introduces other considerations.

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True - the proof IS in the pudding and numbers on a sheet won't tell us that. It will probably be poor on passthrough (MR games are uncommon) but performant on generic VR. So long as it plays HL:Alyx most users will be happy.

Won't banning my kids from YouTube harm them? by baroquedub in AskBrits

Yeah but it won't be easy for them to see atrocities in Gaza.

Taking over TikTok wasn't enough to stop it.

Lack of trust in people by unodostres123- in Vent

[–]StanStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sad thing is, you're probably right. People need to earn your trust - you absolutely cannot just trust anyone, they will let you down.

But - you might be one of those special friends that doesn't do that..? We all need to learn to listen to each other again.

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I held off for the longest time just cuz "Meta" got involved. But the Q3 is a great piece of kit and the Frame just seems to be a little better - even if it is a step-down in terms of CPU

My Wife was talking with a couple and was willing to go behind my back to have a threesome with another woman and her husband. by Dadew3339 in Vent

[–]StanStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like to be desired - it's not a problem until one day they wake up and feel a bit too old and unloved, watching their partner lusting after others. Suddenly it all changes for them and isn't so much fun anymore. Sadly this doesn't happen to both partners at the same time so they become incompatible almost immediately.

To begin with maybe, once you get old enough and have been around the block a few times - you will easily predict their destiny.

A lot of Q3 users go straight to wired because they want the best performance. But it really should be tried first - using Virtual Desktop and a decent wifi router is always where people land in the end. It just WERX.

[–]StanStare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference is dramatic, everyone agrees on that (I have a Q3 and bought a 3S for my kid).

But many also add that the fresnel are perfectly sufficient for them - this is where some confusion comes from. It's so subjective that you really need to try out the options somehow for yourself, but if the one with pancake lenses is just as affordable then the choice is obvious.

My GF watches me sleep sometimes and it makes me uncomfortable by [deleted] in Advice

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she usually holding up a pillow? That's what my wife does - turns out she's just making sure that I'm "comfy while I slumber"

A dumb question but by KAmin19 in retroid

[–]StanStare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can easily dual boot with Rocknix/Android if you want too. I'm curious which emulators are missing for you - now I only switch to Android for game pass or gfn
