I’m doing steadicam operating on a TV show. My new (to me) 2DS is keeping me entertained when waiting for the next shot.

    The 3DS Pokémon games are so much better than the newest ones on switch, it’s crazy. I recently got the two newest mainline games on switch to play with my little brother, and it’s just so bad compared to my long running play throughs of White2 and Y.

      Do you mean Scarlet and Violet? I largely agree, but the Blueberry Academy DLC was pretty good. It is set in Unova with a lot of Gen V pokemon added and references to those games.

      In general, I’d say that the SV main game is one of the worse ones, but the post-game is among the best.

      Gen 5 is still the best though.

      Arceus is great and I hope they don’t squash the life out of the new Legends game, thinking that the success behind their break from the formula was a new formula.

        If you want me to make you feel old the hardware was released in 2013, making it over 10 years old this year.

            While I understand your argument. I have my own philosophy for what is retro in terms of games.

            For me I don’t look at the system but the games. And for games it about 10-15 years after they were first released.

            Enough time that kids can be born and never see this game until now. While I wouldn’t call Pokemon Sun/Moon retro just yet. The 3ds/2ds has games on it that I would consider it retro.

            Its been over half a decade since Nintendo stopped making games for it, and even longer since people cared about it.

            The only time I will argue something isn’t retro is when its still on the store shelf and not in the discount bin.

          It hasn’t been that long since that happened though. It’s literally been less than 6 months since they shut the servers down. It was part of the previous Nintendo console generation ffs. GTA V released the same year as the 2ds. C’mon man, the 2ds is not retro.

    Awesome! Something I always wondered about 2DS, what do you do with it when youre in a situation where you might be quickly pulling it out or putting it away? With a 3DS its easy to just close the lid and slide it in your pocket, but a 2DS doesn’t have any way to prefect its screens in a pocket or bag

      If only closing it would protect the screen of an OG 3DS…

      Without screen protection you’d end up with scratches of two vertical lines and a perfect circle on the upper screen, the imprint of the lower screen border and stick.

        Wait, the OG 3DS has that too? My New 3DS has that problem as well. Crazy that they managed to repeat that design flaw.

      There’s a small switch Omni the bottom right called Sleep. When on it simulates closing the lid.

    That feeling when the 3DS is considered retro… And you still remember the NDSL being shiny hot new stuff.

          ARRI Alexa35, with a set of Atlas Orion anamorphics. Amazing image, great weight, strong as a rock. Flies like butter. This Red camera is too light for me. I want the weight for extra inertia and balance. Second choice would be Sony Venice2 with some Cooke series.

            You shoot HDE files on the Alexa35? My post team recently got back a mag that Premiere (even Beta) absolutely refused to read even after trying it run it through Arri’s HDE decoder software. Couldn’t get it to load on Avid either, but could just be lacking some weird extension. Had to make ProRes transcodes through Resolve which was painful af to toss all that quality out.
