Absolutely yes. It’s timelessly good. I played a bunch of the post-SotN Castlevanias on GBA and such and even with the more advanced systems and everything, none of them hit the same. It’s insane how well they nailed it on their first go.
Ready Player One. It’s a terrible movie that adapts a terrible book, but for some reason the vibe just entertains me and makes me feel comfortable. I don’t know either.
Seconding this. Use case is a big part of the decision. Is dual screen DS/3DS important? Do you want to play past PSX and into GameCube, PSP games, etc? Are you going to be playing more widescreen or 4:3, or even some of the weirder ones like portables with non-standard aspect ratios? Are analog sticks important? How important is pocketability? Do you want HDMI out and the ability to connect a second controller to “consolize” the device? What kind of headphones will you want to use, if any, Bluetooth or wired?
This is why I don’t watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The writing is brilliant, hilarious satire that I think America is far too stupid not to take as an instruction manual.
My favorite example was when they gave all the top LLMs a task to figure out how many circles in an image were touching. Every single one failed miserably at this task that would have been trivial for a 3 year old.
Unless the answer was five. Because of the Olympics logo.
Disregarding sampling bias and other effects, sure, 1,245 is enough for a statistically significant representative sample. You can’t do a lot of subsampling or cohort analysis from it, but if you just want to infer the behavior and attitudes of “Americans” and you sample that many Americans effectively enough, you’re fine.
But practically speaking, no. You’re not going to sample that many Americans effectively enough. Polling is a shitshow these days.
