Re: Upcoming Games / Gaming News
Unplug the HDMI cable on a Friday night and use an RCA connector instead, then off-handedly mention the picture quality throughout the weekend. Replace HDMI on Sunday night. Then switch back to RCA on Wednesday, but then back to HDMI Friday afternoon. Then switch to RCA Sunday night. "Honey, have you noticed the TV acting strange over the past few weeks?" Do this for two more weeks BUT DO NOT use the same schedule any particular week so that it appears to be erratic. You will get a new TV within a month.CopperTom wrote:Unplug the HDMI cable.bune wrote:I'm still trying to swing the 4k tv upgrade by my wife. she agrees the picture is amazing but cannot see the logic in replacing something that works.

It's getting ported to the PS4 next year, and I'd like to give it a shot, too.tragabigzanda wrote:Disco Elysium looks like something I’d really love playing, yet I don’t see ever having the time to play through.

I've never played a Pokemon game before. Should I check out Sword or Shield? I'm curious!
