Why is it so many people insist on S-video when other video connections are superior?
Are there really any?
Iāve never heard of any people asking for S-Video; Iāve always thought it was the connection type that you fall back on when you donāt have RGB or Component.

Itās mostly on facebook and YouTube comments, people act like S-video is needed when RGB mod is an easier project
So, I think I convinced my wife to let me upgrade my cell phone line and put the Note 9 I currently have on her line. Weāve been with T-Mobile for around two years now, and thereās no real plans to change carriers. I ended up deciding to pick up the new OnePlus McLaren 5G edition after a crapton of research between it and a Google Pixel 4 XL. The only other phone I was considering upgrading to was a iPhone 11 Pro, but since Iām leasing the phone through T-Mo; the initial payment for the iPhone is too rich for my blood. For $100 less, Iād be losing wireless charging (which Iām kinda okay with), but Iād be getting 256gb of UFS 3.0 storage; versus 64gb on the Pixels and the iPhone 11 Pro.
It really all depends on my wifeās EOY bonus tbh.
Managed to pick up a used BenQ GL2460HM in good shape from local classifieds for $65CAD (about $48USD). This screen joins my two gaming screens (both BenQ RL2455HM monitors); if you count my main 60" TV and my custom arcade cabinet, I can practically run a tournament/event at my house! 
In all seriousness, been wanting a proper screen at my modding table to do my testing when I mod/clean consoles. Iāve been using an old Dell 1907FP (19" screen with 5:4 aspect ratio), but it only has DVI and VGA inputs, and doesnāt have any built-in speakers. Been an old Composite/S-Video-to-VGA converter (definitely laggy) and a pair of external speakers, or an HDMI-to-DVI converter (no sound that way). Happy to finally have that replaced.

I hate how the sneaky perspective on the photos for that casing make it look MUCH thinner than it actually is.

Yep. Itās official.
Mad Catz is dead.
Random question: whatās the most compact/smallest joystick lever thatās available these days?
I kind of have an urge to build a really slim/thin joystick, but it doesnāt look like the LS-33 is available anymore?

arcade shock seems to have them, but only with the PCB 5 pin connection. The .187 connection doesnāt seem to be available
and these bad boys
Both are made for shallow cases

Thanks!
I checked both Focus Attack and Paradise Arcade Shop, and neither had the LS-33 listed.
Already aware of PS-15s as I use them in one of my casings already.

May your Christmas be down right fierce
Hee hee, Bungholes.
Happy new year everyone!
Iām starting to become interested in those emulation handhelds from China. A lot of them are crap, but there are some good ones. I might end up just getting a Vita, but I really donāt want to carry an additional cable. The last one in this video looks promising, it uses parts from the Vita.
There are alot of promising handhelds made with Raspberry Pi compute modules you may want to look at.
I would build one myself if I was good with my hands. There are some nice ones on ebay with GBA shells, but theyāre way too expensive.
