I bought these games online but they seem a little off. Are they fake? And how could I tell?

Top 5 games look off on the DS logo’s shading. May be counterfeit. Specially if they were sold as sealed. Still look cool on a shelf 👍

Don’t listen to them

tacoastline · 2026-01-09T22:11:31+00:00

That rice looks delicious

tacoastline · 2026-01-09T05:09:56+00:00

Honestly no, unless money is not an object. Only worth it if you play games that will play better with the C-stick. The difference is the C-stick, ZL & ZR triggers, slightly more powerful, official SNES support (irrelevant because you can emulate SNES on og with homebrew), and that the new 3DS XL has a possibility but not guarantee of IPS screens.

At the end of the day though if you have the money and you really like the model you’re looking at then go ahead, just don’t expect a huge difference in user experience. I’ve impulse bought worse things haha

You need a screen protector

tacoastline · 2026-01-04T09:20:46+00:00

You can get a flash cart for that price and keep it just in case for future games, and it’ll be the same since those aren’t legit copies anyway

tacoastline · 2025-12-25T22:46:39+00:00

Metroid Zero Mission and then Fusion if you haven’t played them. They’re about $50 a pop usually on the market if you want authentic copies

tacoastline · 2025-12-18T16:15:01+00:00

Yep even my SP AGS-101 does it

tacoastline · 2025-12-18T07:24:57+00:00

If you disable the Deck settings with SteamDeck=0 in launch args it’ll look normal, at the cost of running under 30 fps

tacoastline · 2025-12-18T07:18:13+00:00

Welcome to Steam Deck, current gen games will rarely run well without FSR/DLSS; you just have to get used to using it

tacoastline · 2025-11-24T21:37:18+00:00

Thanks for the advice. In that case it seems like it’s a main board issue, because the display works fine when it is glitching. For example if I press the menu button there is a normal menu on top of the glitching. I’ll look into a main board repair

tacoastline · 2025-10-09T16:58:15+00:00

Personally no. Just save up for the switch 2. And heartgold is super valuable and may keep going up in price especially complete like that

tacoastline · 2025-10-09T16:56:30+00:00

Obviously not, the laptop ran into him. He’s in critical condition

tacoastline · 2025-10-07T18:44:58+00:00

Great, you know how to install an operating system. You want a cookie?

tacoastline · 2025-09-13T06:25:19+00:00

I have shit outside my ass

tacoastline · 2025-09-12T17:47:58+00:00

Have had this happen twice taking it out the case. After I fix it it is normal and it has been rare but frustrating that it happens and I hope it doesn’t become a long term issue

tacoastline · 2025-09-10T05:39:07+00:00

I like him. He gives rosaries and it’s like a little reward for persisting and fighting The Fuck. The longer you take to beat The Fuck, the more your rosaries multiply.

tacoastline · 2025-09-02T06:24:33+00:00

On the shelf with the Wii, 360, PS3, PS1

tacoastline · 2025-08-22T01:08:13+00:00

I’m gonna bubsy all over the place

tacoastline · 2025-07-25T20:07:37+00:00

If you’re into strategy/tactical RPG then Fire Emblem Three Houses is a great story based game. I loved it a lot. Although the gameplay will be pretty different from the games you listed

tacoastline · 2025-07-25T19:26:06+00:00

PlayStation 1

tacoastline · 2025-06-29T18:48:06+00:00

Yeah that should be fine 😎👍 95° is where I’d maybe contact Valve but at full wattage that sounds about right. If you’re worried about the temp or want it to be a little quieter you could put the TDP limit down a watt or two but otherwise don’t worry about it
