    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shortie in Would you like to see a Nintendo Switch 2 announced?   
    In a roundabout way, they have already released a Switch 2 with the Oled. But that’s a matter of opinion as it’s just a slight upgrade to the Switch and not at all a new console. The same could be said for the Lite as well. With a new Switch, (or console of any kind) the have pretty much shot themselves in the foot. There’s not much of anything left for them to do, or even place to go, with the exception of VR. They have released a lot of different consoles since the NES, with only 2 serious flops. Those being the Virtual Boy and Wii U. They have done home consoles, motion control, portable, and now a hybrid between home and portable. So I don’t think a Switch 2 is a realistic option unless it somehow ties in directly with VR in some way. There’s nothing they haven’t already done at least once. So a Switch 2 would have to be some kind of monumental system that would completely revolutionize the gaming industry. Something like how they saved the industry in the 80’s.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shortie in What was the last thing you ate?   
    Actually, it’s been recommended for a while now that we have 6 small meals now instead of 3 bigger ones.
    All that crap said, the last thing I ate was a couple chalupas and chicken quesadillas from Taco Bell.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Dismal_Bliss in What game are you currently playing?   
    I'm bouncing back and forth between FF8 and RDR2. Two games that I absolutely love. I've been playing the epilogue, trying to get all the challenges done. I have a couple completed, but I still have a lot to do and a lot of stranger missions to finish.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Dismal_Bliss in Do you remember your first ever console?   
    Colecovision. I remember playing it all the time. My favorite game was Ladybug which is really similar to PacMan. I know I had 2 other games for it, but even after looking through a list of all Colecovision games, I can't remember what they were.
    I didn't appreciate it at the time, and now I really regret it and wish I still had it.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shortie in Do you sleep in bed, couch, or easy chair?   
    I sleep wherever the hell I fall asleep. Once I'm out, a hurricane wouldn't wake me. Just ask @Rain Dew She will DEFINITELY confirm that. She's tickled my feet, thrown water on me, drug me out of bed, and tons of other shit. None of it has worked. And my feet are so ticklish that I CAN TICKLE MYSELF. That's thought to be impossible by most, but I'm the weird one here, so it's real.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Knight Plug in What would you say is the worst horror game you played?   
    I would say pretty much any game based on a horror movie. While they may be fun to play, they're usually pretty shitty.
    For the record, I LOVE HORROR GAMES!

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shortie in Which console is your least favourite?   
    I grew up playing the original Game Boy. But that pea soup green and lack of actual light to play it on was a problem. The biggest problem though, was the rate at which it went through batteries. For that reason alone, I now play on the GBASP. Because I can just plug it in and recharge it.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shortie in iPhone 15 overheating   
    If I was to get one, I would wait a while they address some of the design flaws, such as the overheating. The only thing I know about it is that it uses a USB-C cable instead of the cable that Apple products have always used. Which would kinda piss me off as we have had to buy several of them over the years.

    Boy Meets Boy

    Those are the modern(ish) shows that come to mind for me. There are several 80's shows that I would list, but could never be matched. Also in today's political climate, it would be hard to even do the shows justice as they would be overly limited. Especially shows like Alf.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Knight Plug in Will you be picking up the iPhone 15?   
    I’m the exact opposite. I tried an android a few years ago and it did not meet any of my needs. The only thing it could do was text and call. There was no personalizing of any kind. I couldn’t download anything. The battery held no charge. It was just an entire piece of shit. It’s been iPhone only ever since then.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shortie in Keyboard typing wrong characters   
    When my old ones needed cleaning, I took them apart, put all the keys and the frame in the dishwasher but left the electrical components on my desk. I would let the frame and keys dry overnight, then put it all back together. The keyboard I have now, I wouldn't be able to do that with. I wish I could.

    I have listened to a bit of it, and I like it. Which is weird because I absolutely DESPISE the bubblegum pop bullshit that we have to suffer through here. I'm a metalhead for the most part. Underground metal mostly as well as underground rap.
    Pop makes me want to slap the shit out of whoever wrote the damn song. Yet I like KPOP.

    My method of cleaning keyboards involves using compressed air to remove any dust and debris from between the keys. I then use a disinfecting wipe to clean the surface of the keys and the surrounding area. Its really effective!

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shortie in Will we being seeing the Nintendo Switch 2 announced soon?   
    When it comes to announcing any kind of release date, it would be a fool’s errand to actually put any real stock in whatever date they give. These days, everything in gaming gets bumped back at least twice. Many things get bumped back more than twice.
    For what it’s worth, a lot of gamers consider the Oled to be the “Switch 2” if you will.
    For my opinion, I honestly don’t know where they could really go from here. They have VR, and have released a hybrid system which is one of the most popular Nintendo devices ever. So if you ask me, they have kinda shot them selves in the foot.

    I have owned every Game Boy version, as well as random attachments like the Light Boy. I still play it to this day. But I played on a GBASP, since it can just be recharged instead of having to buy batteries all the damn time. I loved it as a kid, and love it now.

    The Blackangel got a reaction from Shagger in Shagger Says: GameSir T3S Wireless Controller Review   
    I've never trusted 3rd party controllers, simply because they have never lasted. Within a month to two months it was trashcan filler. But after reading this, I would be willing to try it if I was to decide to get a third party. One nitpicky thing, is that to me it looks more like the PS5 controller than the PS4 controller. But that may just be me.
    It is really interesting to hear someone speaking positively about third party anything. That said, I can't say much else because, while I have seen a few things about it, I haven't used it. So I'm not allowed an opinion on performance. I've never owned a monkey, so I can't comment on their behaviour. Same thing.
    Either way, great review.

    The Blackangel reacted to Knight Plug in Community Chat #1   
    Sadly, I lost my mother on the 9th. My family are going to file a lawsuit. The paramedics who attended to her at home stated that nurses had overdosed her on drugs. The NHS in the UK is just an utter disgrace now, and so not trustworthy.
    To make matters worse, the buggers are harassing my sister at the home, seemingly to retrieve a log book with a record of her medication because they know they messed up, big style.
    Unfortunately, as my mother lay in hospital, she couldn't receive dialysis again. She was also frail and unresponsive. They also signed her off from dialysis too, which she never agreed to, but the staff from the hospice intervened. My uncle and siblings attended to pay their respects.
    The 9th was also my sister's birthday. I have two sisters with the same birthday, but they were born in separate years. So, yeah. That certainly sucked.
    The funeral is planned for next week. Going to be a celebration of the life of the most wonderful person in my world, with an obituary, music and no black clothes allowed. Mum was a person of colour, after all. She wasn't a fan of dreary things.
    But yeah. It's sad how you cannot even depend on these health specialists.
    Rest in peace, mum. ❤️

    Are you strictly wanting sci-fi, or are you open to other genre's? I'm looking at my library and will list the ones that stick out to me most before posting my entire PS3/PS4 list. I'll post some trailers after that.
    That said, the main two from PS3 that stick out for me are Thief and Dante's Inferno. God Of War is a great series, but we all know what those games are like, so I don't think a trailer is necessary in any way. Which Infamous games have you played?
    From PS4, despite them being horror games, I would highly recommend you check out the Dark Pictures Anthology. Little Hope and Man Of Medan are my two favorites in the franchise. Actually, I recommend everyone check them out. But then if you want only sci-fi, you could start out looking at Star Wars just as a jumping off point, and consider games that leads you to.

    Ave and welcome. It's always nice to see "new faces" so to speak.
    This forum is very inclusive, and considering the population, there is never a question that can't be answered by at least one person. Gaming styles and preferences are all covered. For example, I am the resident classic gamer. I play the old stuff mainly from the N64 and back. But I also know RDR2 inside and out. So someone, somewhere, will know the answer to what you're seeking.

    If you want an awesome horror game, you should check out Layers Of Fear: Legacy. There's no combat in it, as it focuses more on the psychological terror aspect. If you've ever seen Rose Red, then you'll have an idea what the game is like. It's available on just about all platforms, so you should be able to get it no matter what you prefer to game on. I just went with the Switch trailer because it was the first one to pop up.
