    So my brother and I have started an accumulation of CRTs that would be ideal for retro gaming, and hoarding them into storage. The Trinintrons are super common, we're coming across those all the time. I know those are considered the best, but something we've noticed is you never see any Hitachi flat screens. Did they not make any during that era? We had Hitachi TVs when I was growing up, I thought they were common, but apparently not. I'm not even sure they made any flat screen model CRTs or at least we're yet to run across any.

    Oh I definitely am and have played through it many, many times, but as good as Resi 3 was it just didn't quite match the level of excellence that is 1,2 and Veronica. For me anyway. It's all subjective.

    I wish Paprium would get its own subforum so the Genesis section can be free for other conversation without that one overtaking everything.

    Well, I had to take a picture of my phone with the other guy’s phone...


    Annoying as crap, actually. It’s not like I chucked it off the roof, I dropped it from waist-height and it landed protective-case-side down, FFS.

    That's ridiculous! What are iPhone screens made of? Fibreglass?

    To be fair, I've never had an iPhone (or any other) display crack and I used a 3GS daily from 2010-2017. I always used a soft case with a display flip cover.

    Agreed. That Paprium bullshit is a total joke. It's never getting made and I would have thought that should be patently obvious to everyone at this point.
