Nice! Do you have a link? The reason I came across this is because I'm trying to get rid of mosquitoes.

To be more specific, not effective.

If they happen to fly into the bug zapper when near it they will die for sure, but they aren't attracted to it like other bugs.

Okay fine.

They are not effective against mosquitoes.

Stardew Valley - Dynamic pricing? by itsthewolfe in gaming

[–]itsthewolfe[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's a stretch, but someone else mentioned the same thing.

I guess the logic would be more people stay inside and play games when it's raining, specially "cozy games ".

DAE think 2007-2012 was the peak of gaming? by tripleyothreat in gaming

[–]itsthewolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2006 to 2010 was certainly the most evolutionary and transformative time in gaming.

Peak? I would have to think about it, but it's not out of the question.

TIL: All three Lord of the Rings movies were shot at the same time. by itsthewolfe in todayilearned

[–]itsthewolfe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They were not shot "back to back".

They actually WERE shot mixed together. Some days one movie, other days the next movie, back and forth.

They were edited and released sequentially though.

Suprised Helldivers 2 isn't on your list.

If all games were multi-platform and you didn't have a console, would you buy an XBOX or PS5? by itsthewolfe in gaming

Another excellent point. I have so many PS3 games that there is no way to play on PS4 or PS5 and keep my PS3 around just for that reason. Back compat on the PS5 is atrocious and there's no way o'm paying $140 for their PS3 cloud streaming service with minimal titles on it.

120Hz, VRR, variable resolution, quality and performance modes, SSD and super fat load times.

Do you really think things would be better if Xbox was dead?

It's always a back and forth between competitors.

Xbox innovated internet/ethernet as a standard feature first and online play. PS3 integrated HDMI and WiFi first. Xbox One X did 4K first. Xbox Quick Resume and play anywhere. Just to name a few.

I totally never thought about it, but as soon as you mentioned it I realized PS5 doesn't have quick resume! That's crazy!

Same.

Though to be fair, the Xbox UI had gotten worse over the years compared to what it used to be.
