I honestly cannot remember when I last watched a movie. However, in the last week I've binged two seasons of Star Trek Discovery.
Thanks for the input. All good points, and what your saying is pretty much where my brain is at at the moment. In terms of sunk cost, there is a slight complication because I'm in the UK, so I will have about £50 to pay in import tax when it does eventually arrive.
I see the screen as being both a plus and a minus. The aspect ratio looks great for GB and GBC games, but less useful for GBA and 4:3 consoles like SNES and NES. The 4:3 screen of the Anbernic, despite being only 640x480, works create with those consoles and is a nice compromise for all platforms. Using the GarlicOS I can get nice interpolation on the GBA/SNES/NES and perfect integer scale on most others. The black bars seem more ugly on the Pocket to me... although that said, I just checked my order and I've ordered the black one, so I think the borders will be much less egregious than on the white.
Realistically I use my MegaSG and SuperNT for playing carts, and the MiSTer for everything else. So what I imagine happening is that I will use the Pocket for GB and GBC carts, and probably continued to play GBA games on one my modded GBAs for the aspect ratio.
I'll probably keep my order open for now, but if something else comes along I want to spend the money on, I may cancel it!
Thanks!
Good luck! I've subscribed at least. And I see there is an update to the MegaSG jailbreak firmware, so I've got value already!
Someone with more recent experience can probably answer better. But I went a good number of years ago, only because I was driving to Bournemouth and it was ok the way (sort of). It was BUSY and both inspiring and disappointing. Would I go again? Maybe, but probably not at the height of tourist season. Also it's about 100 miles from London, so it will take a good chunk of your day. I think you'd need to be in London for 5 days to a week to justify the day trip. But, that's just me!
My getting old moan is that my hands barely function when I wake. I used to think it was because I lie on them, but apparently it's a form of arthritis. No doubt brought on my 30 years of work in videogames development. Luckily my SO has brought me a cup of tea to wrap my creaking hands around to warm them up and get them moving again.
I was raised with it! Tom was my doc, and Leela my companion. That said, I think I'd struggle with a complete watch. Best I ever did was about 13 years ago I had swine flu and was ill for two weeks, and blasted through all Jon Pertwee. Those first season ones with the 7 episode stories see did drag, but it all picked up when the Master appeared.
Thanks for the in depth comment. It's great and much appreciated. I'll definitely go back to it. Currently about 2/3rds through a playthrough of FF6, so once that's done I'll get back to Cross Code!
Agree that Stray is very good. It's not too long either. Shame about BioShock, but they are always on sale. Also I think the collection was a monthly game back in 2020, some of us may still have it.
