  • When I was a kid my friend had a Super Nintendo and we used to play each other in SSF2, Mortal Kombat 2 and Killer Instinct. We then got into Mame and other CPS2 and KI specific emulators to play the arcade versions at home. This was way before I knew anything about actually playing the game, frame data and all.

    I then took a break and really actually got into Fighting games as a typical '09er with Street Fighter IV. I played Bison and was semi-competent (A rank in Ultra, but never went to tournaments or anything).

    Then came SF5 and I really didn’t like it. Stopped playing again, but always kept watching EVO and other big tournaments.

    So I’d say SF4 series is my favorite. I never really touched 3d or anime fighters. I tried getting into MVC3 when it released but that was just sensory overload for me lol How about you? :)









  • Easily notification light. People always say “oh, it’s totally obsolete with always on displays”. But with a notification light I could focus on other stuff and the blinking light got my attention better. With the AOD, I always catch myself glancing at my phone. Also, the light’s color clearly indicated which app caused the notification. I had White for calls, Green for Whatsapp, Yellow for the ebay app, Red for GMail and so on. “You can do all that with an OLED screen! It only lights up the pixels that-” Can you, though? All apps that I tried were utter garbage. Buggy performance, very battery hungry and very cumbersome to configure. I don’t know if custom firmwares actually have that feature in a usable state nowadays, as I cannot root my phone anymore without losing core functionalities like online banking.

    Yeah, everything tends to go to shit with time. I miss my Galaxy S2.
