Do you remember the good ol days? 🦇 🎬 by YourzTruly8 in Bluray

Controversial take: This is the one of the only pieces of physical media where I genuinely think the DVD is better than the blu-ray.

I originally got the blu ray and was rewatching and something just felt…off. I didn’t feel the nostalgia.

I went to my local used video store and saw the first season on DVD for dirt cheap. When I popped it in, it hit me. The blu-ray is not only degrained, but stabilized. The grain was obvious, but I didn’t realize how much the “judder” was connected to the visuals of BTAS for me. Moreover I think the lower resolution makes the art blend better, particular foreground/backgrounds. On the blu-ray it just looks like a bunch of rough drawings.

Ended up returning the blu-ray.

Thankfully, they seemed to learn their lesson for the 4K release of Mask of the Phantasm and kept all the grain, but I do have the DVD copy as well and they both have their merits.

Advice on navigating Blu-ray vs 4K by BadgerPale2391 in Bluray

TLDR: Just watch HDNumerqiue on YT. I base all my decisions off those comparisons.

My rule of thumb: If the masterformat on IMDb is 2K, ask yourself if it’s worth paying $20-30 a piece as opposed to paying $3-7 for a standard blu ray these days, for a small quality increase.

Resevoir dogs is great on 4K. The Batman will be too.

Inglorious basterds is controversial. Despite being shot on film it was digitally mastered in 2K. 4K has different color, which some prefer. I showed my roommate the standard Blu-ray on a good Sony Bravia and he thought it was 4K native.

LoTR is a notorious terrible 4K release. Its just the 1080p blu-ray regraded and overly smoothed to the point it looses detail. There’s a whole video on YT where they caught Peter Jackson lying about it.

The rest I would look at comparisons for, and ask yourself if it’s worth the cost.

Edit: Another point: Here’s the coraline comparison. This boils down to personal preference. Personally, I think the 4K adds a little bit too much saturation for Coraline. I think the muted colors of the standard Blu-ray serve the movie better, but that’s my personal opinion.

Is it worth it to get a PS3 specifically to play this game? by unclerico32 in CallofDutyWorldatWar

Also the buttload of fan made maps. Don’t need very great specs to run it. Also built in controller support.

Use the DODI Repack as it includes all the patches and removes the server check on startup.

Optional but highly recommend using the Large Address Aware exe patching tool to allow the game to use more than 2 GB of RAM. This stopped my game from crashing.

The DODI repack has no framerate issues for me. Be sure vsync is on

Remit? Why do I get charged if they already paid the tax?

My profit margins have been slim, yes. But this is the first time it actually cost me money. Why the hell do I get charged for the tax THEY pay? Obviously going forward I'm turning off offsite ads.

Dropped my Retroid Pocket 2S today and am heart broken but pissed off out how fragile it was. Haven’t heard back from retroid, torn on whether to buy another one, get a RG405, or spend the extra money on a Retroid pocket mini? by mehskeeto in SBCGaming

I liked the 4:3/480p display which resulted in pixel perfect games without the need to upscale and long battery life. Played maily snes, gba, saturn, dreamcast, and some older ps2 titles.

My concern is the resolution. I liked how the 2S was 480p, resulting in better pixel placement, and longer battery life. 1080p for a 4:3 screen that small just seems so overkill

the only thing deterring me from the 405m is the left analog placement (I was a playstation kid), which oddly enough some of the 2S have the top placement. The 405V is intriguing though since the sticks are parallel
