both of mine are about the same, basically everything is except the 2DS LL. yeah it's not that noticeable in games but it's hard to unsee it after that bootup...

how are your screens looking? mine have turned yellow :/

hah i wondered if you were responsible for that. well, it's pretty cheap, i should probably still get the "cash out" of my bank account

uh. i may also have to order the argument with points. i have an epic problem (it's not owning the argument on vinyl)

good idea but i'd probably wait for love plus 2 plus

it's great, but we hit a brick wall somewhere in act 2 and need to summon the willpower to do some grinding

not sure you'll get to it in a month but did you play clair obscur?

28 other NBA GMs watching that game: "shit"

to say nothing of the million other insane things about that game, i think that might be the single best rookie playoff performance i've seen in my life

if you're really just going to use it as a camera, get an oppo or xiaomi flagship from a couple of years ago. xiaomi 15 ultra or oppo find x7 ultra would work. 1" sensor on the main camera plus excellent 3-4x-ish lenses that also work for macro

i believe PS5 and switch 2 were also the same

engage barely even had a story so i feel like i'm ready for something a little more three houses-adjacent

i just reserve three columns at the edge of the screen for it and play normal lumines on the rest

as a tokyo resident, absolutely not. singapore maybe

yeah would like to try side-by-side. in my experience DSi is clicky and lite is super mushy. i remember trying to move diagonally in metroid prime hunters when it came out and just giving up on the game altogether because it hurt my thumbs. DSi LL is the best DS!

don't sleep on john otto!

sam byford @multicore.blog · 04/04/2026

wait what are you comparing this to. i found DS lite diagonals torturous and was relieved to upgrade to the DSi when i accidentally destroyed my lite in a sink

i'm not sure i noticed any difference myself, but in any case i agree with chris that it's pretty solid for what it is!

sam byford @multicore.blog · 03/03/2026

is it the same thing as the previous silver one? i was confused when they were sold side by side for a while but now i only see the blue ones

sam byford @multicore.blog · 19/02/2026

really liked the first but didn't finish it. now i have to because there's another

sam byford @multicore.blog · 16/02/2026

seriously. i got the cardboard one too and inexplicably it comes pre-assembled in a giant box of its own. which meant the shipping box for the both of them was *huge*

sam byford @multicore.blog · 24/01/2026

yeah 100%, feels like it was made for me!
