Olá maltinha,
Sempre fui um membro das famílias Nintendo e Playstation, desde miudo que em casa havia sempre uma consola nintendo e/ou playstation. Por outro lado, nunca dei a devida atenção a Xbox, nunca tive nem conheço quem tenha.

Sempre tive apenas jogos físicos, e não planeio mudar isso. Com esta mudança de rumo da playstation, e vendo a xbox a tentar atrair os fãs da playstation para lá, confesso que eu próprio começo a ficar intrigado e não deixo de fora a hipótese de a próxima geração de consolas cá em casa ser da familia xbox, se houver disco nela e na ps6 não.

Posto isto, queria começar a investigar e conhecer melhor a consola da Xbox, mas já fui a uma fnac grande (forum coimbra) e a 2 wortens medias, e não só não há consolas xbox expostas como nem sequer existe um espaço dedicado à consola e/ou jogos dela, como existe para nintendo e playstation. Isto é normal? A consola é tão ignorada em portugal que nem compensa ǎs lojas ter expositores delas ou de jogos delas?

Queria pelo menos sentir um comando dela na mão para perceber se é confortável, mas começo a achar que se nem se encontra facilmente à venda é sinal que seria uma má decisão comprá-la..

I understand that a bullet shot to the air might have a bigger speed when it comes out of the gun than it’s terminal velocity when it comes back down. But at what point does it consist of a life threatening risk? Does it depend on caliber/weight? Is it never a risk? Since it’s a common law enforcement practice, I suppose someone already did the math on this..

So, basically my city is fining me for littering with the “evidence” of an amazon box they found on the floor with my name still in the address label. I know for sure that I put it in the recycle container, but someone must have gone through the container scavenging or something and threw it in the floor.

I tried explaining that but noone cared, and my options are to pay a ~300€ fine or take them to court and potentially pay 10-20x that.

I don’t have that kind of money hanging around, so I’m thinking maybe just pay the fine and then print a lot of dummy packages with the city mayor’s name in the shipping label and throw them all over the streets, see if the fines apply to him as well.. I’m afraid of getting caught in some camera and worsening my situation though.

Any other ideas?

Hi, not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I have now a considerable collection os old consoles and games (spectrum, NES, Master System, etc) and I’ve been displaying them in my office at home. I have some questions regarding game and console preservation, and I’d like to hear how other people do it to see if I can improve my storage conditions.

1- I’ve heard that if we have an air purifier in the room, there is less dust in the air and it’s easier to clean the collection and less exposure to dust if we have consoles out in the open. Does any of you have one that could confirm if this is the case?

2- in my office there is a home server that usually does some heavy processing at night (cheapest energy), and it increases the room temperature to about 30-35°C. Do you think this temperature can have a negative effect on the games and consoles?

3- Any other tips or quick wins I should do? I’m looking for a UV filter adhesive to put in the room’s window, but for now I just try to open the curtains as less as possible.

I’ve seen this apparently new genre name being thrown around and would like to understand better exactly what it is. From wikipedia I understand it was bourn with the game Demon’s Souls, which I never played (maybe I really should), but the description there is a bit generic (games “known for large worlds filled with enemies and emphasis on environmental storytelling”).

Would for instance Horizon qualify for this genre, or does it have to be set in a dark fantasy theme? I love RPG games, but usually don’t go for dark fantasy. I think the last one I played that’s maybe dark fantasy would be Diablo, but not sure it’s related.

Thanks in advance

I was thinking these days that I sort of miss some rpg features from the old days, like geting to name every character, having a camp to spend the night with your characters and you get to talk to them and learn a bit more of their backstories (chrono trigger; breath of fire; etc..)

Do you ever think about these things? What other features do you miss?
