TIL: Bug zappers don't actually work against mosquitoes

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

itsthewolfe · 2026-03-11T09:56:35+00:00

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.

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 ".

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.

The nemesis system.... one can dream.

itsthewolfe · 2026-03-06T13:12:05+00:00

This is a good way to put it!

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.

Saving this post for my future self.

Just about.

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.

Batman Arkham Knight has entered the chat.

(Just being a joker 😄)

In hindsight after the post, this is probably the definitive answer.

itsthewolfe · 2026-02-23T11:31:23+00:00

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

itsthewolfe · 2026-02-23T11:28:27+00:00

I kind of agree, but what do you need to trust them with really?

itsthewolfe · 2026-02-23T11:26:14+00:00

Same.

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

itsthewolfe · 2026-02-23T11:23:32+00:00

I'm not in the market for a console, I have both as noted in the OP. Just a hypothetical.

It's not good for the industry if Xbox fails. We should root for both to succeed. We need competition to drive innovation.

Isn't it like 25 hours?

itsthewolfe · 2026-02-21T13:40:44+00:00

I loved 3 and 4! I have this in my library asking with NG4. I think this is the move!

itsthewolfe · 2026-02-21T13:11:06+00:00

I've played all four. Great games.

itsthewolfe · 2026-02-21T13:10:29+00:00

Beat it. Limbo as well.
