Sorry, I copied and pasted that from my notes.
I got my Gamecube after launch with Wave Race Blue Storm.
I think blue laws were mostly a bible belt thing in southern states. The thought was you should be in church and keep the sabbath day holy instead of shopping. It used to be that stores were closed all day. The laws were slowly rolled back. It changed that grocery stores could open at 1:30 (after most churches were done). Then everything was open all day except beer and liquor stores. Now pretty much everything is open like a normal business day.
I looked up the Sunday Blue laws for Colorado. We did have that here for a while, but it was only restricted alcohol and car dealership sales.
If you go to Google.com today, they have a playable Halloween themed Pacman browser game. Pretty neat.
Sold 2 of those. Regretted it later.
Oh BTW Capcom just did this special video for RE9:

They seem to be going in hard on the Switch 2 version with an amiibo, special Pro Controller.
Also they are doing a triple pack of RE7, Village and RE9 for $90
Re9 by itself is $70
I do want that Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2 Pro Controller.
When I lived in Texas we had blue laws. Then I moved to Florida, and it was the strangest thing that they no longer existed. The idea that I could buy alcohol on a Sunday was kind of mind-blowing. Also, that I could buy it before noon was pretty incredible too.
Yeah, I just recently watched the video for it on Nintendo’s YouTube channel. Coming out January 15th. Will likely pick up the upgrade myself. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve played that game. My island is probably in shambles by now.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 with several enhancements to enjoy, including:
Improved resolution (4K in TV mode)***.
Mouse controls with the right Joy-Con 2 controller to decorate indoors, create Custom Designs and even compose hand-written bulletin-board messages.
Locate residents by calling their names using the in-game megaphone item and the built-in Nintendo Switch 2 microphone.
Join 12-player sessions for online sessions if everyone is playing the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
Play with friends via CameraPlay****. Connect a compatible USB camera (sold separately) and see their reactions in-game while exploring your island together.
Nintendo Switch 2 players can purchase digital or physical versions of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of the game when it launches Jan. 15 for $64.99 MSRP*****, and if they already have the game for Nintendo Switch, a paid upgrade pack****** will also be available for $4.99 MSRP. Pre-orders for the paid upgrade pack are available starting today on the My Nintendo Store and Nintendo eShop.
And both versions of the game will receive new features to experience*******, including:
Resort Hotel's Grand Opening: A resort hotel is opening on the pier, and it's run by Kapp'n's family. To bring in guests from off the island, you'll help out by decorating guest rooms and more. Plus, find new furniture and clothing at the souvenir shop and dress up mannequins with outfits that guests can wear.
Making Island Life More Convenient: Want a fresh start? Resetti is on hand with a convenient Reset Service to help tidy up your island. Additionally, you can now upgrade your home storage to hold up to 9,000 items, and store trees, shrubs and flowers there, too.
Slumber Island: Players with a Nintendo Switch Online membership can design and save up to three islands and play with friends online. Select the size and layout of the island, build and design it collaboratively, access your inventory and decorate, plus invite residents from your home island.
Collaborations: Collect Nintendo items like the Ultra Hand and Nintendo consoles in-game to add some classic flair to your island. Nintendo Switch Online members can play select classic Nintendo titles in-game when interacting with specific Nintendo console items, too! Special LEGO® items will also make their debut with this update. And use select The Legend of Zelda and Splatoon series amiibo******** to invite certain characters — and unlock various items inspired by those series.
New island experiences await when both the free update and Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition launch Jan. 15.
Still haven't played New Horizons yet.
4k is nice on Civ 6 since I'm able to see much more of the map, but it not really any sharper or more detailed.
Using that data, we can see that with a 50-inch screen at 10 feet distance, the subjects of the study wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between a 1440p screen and one at 8K resolution. The calculator indicates that for a 50-inch 1440p display viewed at 10 feet, only 1 percent of the population would notice the difference between that image and a 'perfect' image. At 4K, that number becomes 0%; naturally, 8K would be the same. According to the scientists, all three resolutions would look broadly the same at that distance.
---------
1440p resolution looks 4k ish to me. Or at least good enough that I don't care.
This better be 1 key card to play all 3 games.
It would be asinine to have separate key cards.
For me I have a 65" tv and my chair can be 5ft to 8ft away, at an angle.
But 4k is more than good enough. With videos I can clearly see the difference most of the time in video quality. But then some videos are exceptionally clean looking at 1080p so that leads me to believe the camera capture quality and compression is a bigger factor.
With games though, some games can still look incredible at 1080p. I've seen a lot of previews and reactions recently where people have thought a game they previewed was a higher resolution that it actually is and a higher framerate than it actually is.
I think a perfect flat line when it comes to frame pacing is key and no dynamic resolution scaling drops.
I kinda wish I'd ponyed up for the 65". Bigger screen likely would be easier to see the 4K difference.
