    Give-away GBAtemp 20th Anniversary giveaway - WEEK THREE - Win an Analogue Pocket - 24hrs remain!

    I'm looking forward to the Analogue Duo more but I still plan to get a Pocket. May as well, since I have practically everything else at this point...

    Steam walks back decision to ban visual novel after fan outcry, Chaos;Head Noah now available

    Good. Now if only they stopped banning other stuff, and started cracking down on all the low-quality garbage.

    Man who hacked Nintendo servers pleads guilty to charges, agrees to pay $250,000 in restitution

    Wouldn't be surprised if the CP was just 2D stuff, given how ridiculous the laws have become. Regardless, though he obviously deserved to get slapped down for hacking, especially after a warning from the FBI (I doubt most people get a warning, though I suppose it's different because he was...

    Microsoft reveals the next-gen Xbox console name as the "Series X"

    Aside from this little thing called "subjectivity", I happen to like mini-ITX enclosures, and sometimes a plain, black box with minor embellishments is all I need. But contrary to that, I have builds in larger PC cases (NZXT H500 and the giant Corsair Obsidian 1000), and more I'm going to buy...

    Pokemon Company continues to pursue Sword/Shield guidebook leakers, court allows for subpoena

    Absolutely pathetic. There's still no proof, at least publicly, that these people were under NDA. Don't Nintendo have something better to do, such as kissing China's ass more?

    Microsoft reveals the next-gen Xbox console name as the "Series X"

    Looks like a nice, simple little box, but Microsoft's marketing is STILL bloody awful... Still, all their games are now being made available on PC (and Steam, as well), so I still have no reason to buy an Xbox.

    The Pokemon Company has filed a lawsuit against those who leaked pre-release images of Sword/Shield

    Fuck Nintendo and fuck Game Freak. Those idiots can't make a good game. They lied multiple times to their customers and were finally exposed with hard evidence (which some morons still deny). They're only suing to try to prevent the bad reputation they've been accumulating over the past few...

    Hardware Urgent Help Needed with Xbox 360 S Resistor

    Update: I fixed it! Woo! It was precarious and God only knows how good the solder joints were (they didn't look good at all), but it works and that's all that matters. I found that there are some little solder joints just north of the resistors, but the other side goes straight to the CPU/GPU...

    Xbox's Phil Spencer discusses toxicity in gaming and how to combat it

    Perhaps, but "being mean" isn't a reason to just start banning people and punishing them. You can mute and block people. Use that instead of having a nanny state (or company) looking out for you. This is how we end up with shitty legislation that makes society into a bigger shithole than it...

    Hardware Urgent Help Needed with Xbox 360 S Resistor

    I tried lightly scraping before I posted this thread but either they're too thin or just very fragile because I'm not getting much of anything, unfortunately. A bit late now unfortunately since I've removed the resistors already but I appreciate the input nonetheless. I think my soldering iron...

    Hardware Urgent Help Needed with Xbox 360 S Resistor

    It's not. It may look ugly, but it's not dead. It was working fine before I knocked off the connection I'd made (clearly already weakened before I even removed the resistor from what I can only assume was heat damage from the heatsink). It's just that one trace that needs to be joined up, so...

    Xbox's Phil Spencer discusses toxicity in gaming and how to combat it

    Censoring people because they said mean words and hurt someone's feefees is always an issue.

    Hardware Urgent Help Needed with Xbox 360 S Resistor

    I've been trying to fix this blasted Xbox 360 Slim for ages now and finally came across a fix that involves replacing resistors R4D3, R4D4, R4D5, R4D6, R4D7 and R4D8. I saw a recommendation to bridge the connections instead if you don't have correct replacement resistors (I currently don't but...

    Nintendo announces InkyPen for the Switch, a subscription based comic book service

    Between Marvel Unlimited, Comixology Unlimited, smartphones, tablets, and multiple other services, I really don't see the need for this. Putting aside what is at least an apparent pattern of Sony copying Nintendo, the PSP actually did remote play many years before the Wii U came out, albeit...

    Nintendo announces limited Nintendo Switch bundle for Pokemon Let's Go

    "Comes pre-cracked and pre-bent so you don't have to worry about when it'll inevitably happen to your Switch."

    PlayStation systems reach 500 million sales, limited PS4 console announced to celebrate

    That looks pretty cool, but Sony are on my shitlist lately, and I hate these limited-run items because they're almost always scalped like crazy. The grey PS4s were handled... better, I guess? It was a lot harder to get one but also technically fairer. Regardless, this will be a shitshow of...

    The beginning of the end for freeShop - first party titles no longer downloadable

    It was inevitable after the recent changes, but still a shame. As I've said previously I used it to download out-of-region updates because Nintendo gives zero fucks about making sure all UK/Europe games and AU/NZ games play nice with updates even though the games are technically the same region...

    Hardware Fully black 3ds (Rare?)

    Seems to be the "Clear Black" one in @froggestspirit's link - Japanese-only. Japan always gets a ton of limited edition Nintendo consoles that the rest of the world doesn't. That'd also explain why the 3DS interface is in Japanese - it's a Japanese model.
