    Editorial Almost everything I hoped it would be - a week with the 2024 Zenbook Duo

    So let’s cut right to the chase: I really enjoy my multi-screened tech. Owning a Surface Duo, LG Wing, Zephyrus Duo, and even such an oddity as Crelander’s Celeron-powered X15, it should come as no surprise to learn 2024’s new Zenbook Duo was on my radar. After giving it a quick spin at ASUS’...

    The first retro emulator hits Apple's App Store, but you should probably avoid it

    With Apple having recently updated their guidelines for the App Store, iOS users have been left to speculate on specific wording and whether retro emulators as we know them would truly have a place in the great walled garden.

    Editorial Making Pokemon Emerald my own one tweak at a time - Scarlet's March of gaming

    In the month of March I had such lofty ideals, as I often do. I said to myself “I really want to beat Skyrim”, and I really did want to. I got the game downloaded, and as I sat through Brynjolf's iconic monologue in the ever-romantic horse-drawn carriage ride, a further intrusive thought...

    Editorial Masks, Mazes, and Marksmen - Scarlet's February of gaming

    February has been a busy gaming month for me, in no small part due to me actually picking up a few to review for the first time since November. It’s been pretty refreshing to get back into it and you should definitely keep an eye on the review section the coming days if you happen to have an...

    Editorial Pokemon, Pals, and Pain - Scarlet’s January of gaming

    2023 was a busy year for me. I got a new job, I moved across the country, and amidst all that I found myself playing fewer and fewer games. Despite time seeming to be stretched thinner as it rolls on, I wanted to put an active effort into playing a little more through this year, be it older...

    CES 2024 is well underway once again, with companies bringing their latest and greatest to show off at one of the largest events of the year for consumer electronics.

    Editorial Revisiting reviews - the tech I'm still using

    Having written reviews for GBAtemp since mid-2017, I’ve managed to accumulate a sizeable stash of games and random tech. Though I try to be thorough when writing the initial reviews, one factor I can never fully account for is how something will stand the test of time. There’s plenty of cool...

    Editorial Power at a great price - ROG Ally early impressions

    I haven't been quiet in my excitement for the ROG Ally since it was announced back in April. A powerful and feature-packed Windows handheld at a price that actually stands a chance at pulling people away from the Steam Deck? What's not to like? With the device having released just yesterday, we...

    Editorial The best Pokemon game isn't made by Game Freak

    In recent years the Pokemon series has seen some highs and lows. Since the transition to the Switch, fans have criticised each title for a flurry of reasons from graphics to performance, to a lack of a complete Pokedex. Having enjoyed my time with the latest games Scarlet and Violet, I wanted a...

    Pressing Ctrl + Return in Review Editor

    Very small thing I noticed, but when editing a review, if you press Ctrl + Return for example, in the intro box, the review will save and return to the preview layout. I had previously assumed this just functioned the same as pressing the Save button at the bottom of the review, but it turns out...

    Editorial Last year’s tech is still good - a cheaper look at the ROG Flow Z13

    Last year I was wanting a new portable powerhouse and I had my eyes set on two in particular, both from ASUS’ latest gaming releases of the time. These were the Zephyrus Duo 16, and the Flow Z13. Both were, and frankly still are, really cool devices that stand out from the crowd. On one hand we...

    Notifications don’t update without refresh since 20th anniversary update

    Howdy! Since the 20th anniversary changes I’ve noticed my notifications aren’t pulling through until I refresh the page. Wanted to gauge if it was just me with the issue or if something broke. For info, I’m referring to the notifications on the bell icon in oppose to push notifications.

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes demo first impressions

    The Switch makes me feel old. It’s been out for more than five years now with two revisions and so many fantastic games. Not only did we see three eras of Fire Emblem collide in 2017’s Fire Emblem Warriors, but three houses come to blows in 2019’s aptly named Fire Emblem Three Houses. Completing...

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
