🧀Son of Suzy Creamcheese🧀 I bought a New 3DS XL (SNES Edition) not long ago and I ended up returning it because I just couldn't deal. It might be because I'm so used to my DSi XL or it could be that it actually was defective, but both screens had this kind of shimmery, oily look to them that I hated. Also the display just seemed fuzzy and soft and I didn't like that either.
But I'm also the kind of person who gets annoyed at choppy compression on DVD's that nobody else seems to notice. I think it might be because the resolution of the 3DS isn't that big, but the screens on the XLs are. I did have to get used to that as well as I switched to the new XL from my original launch model. Though I wouldn't describe it as oily. You might want to try out a smaller model. They do generally look better. I still like the XL though, because it's more comfortable to hold something large in my hands. My original DS as it aged got that, then I bought a DS Lite in 2015 that was supposed to be unused but the bottom screen had that same weird greasy filter, there's something they put on the screens that get discolored over time. You're supposed to peel that off. My DS lite still looks great, as do all my other handhelds. The D-Pad on the other hand...oof.

With some Googling this is evidently a known issue linkReally makes the touch screen gimmick not worth it considering this was the long term result.

Well, I wouldn't say it 'isn't worth it'. It might be a problem on some DSs, but I've never had the issue on any of my models, nor has my brother (who owns like 7 DS/3DSs).
If anything, it's stupid they abandoned it with the Switch, now that there's no other screen to compare it to.

I don't think that link is about whatever it is that you experienced. That's just saying that the bottom screen is a little dimmer than the top screen. The touch sensor absorbs a little bit of light so it isn't surprising. Whatever happened sounds like an outright defect.

Played through 9: The Last Resort. That Robert de Niro Co-Production with the famous voice cast that immediately sank the company for being too costy and releasing when the dream that Adventure Games are gonna be the big cinematic experience of the future was dieing. It is very avant-garde, in that every screen is a dense assortment of weird and out there visuals, which of course doesn't always help in figuring out what to interact with, in which way, and what the hints are and what's just decoration. I still mostly enjoyed myself, but got really burned by the ending stretch, since the game's finale is a string of awful puzzles. The last monkey king organ puzzle took me already way too long to piece together. Then that it followed by a truely atrocious shooting gallery segment - FPSes and such where dethroning Adventure Games right quick at the time, but I'll never understand how that led to many shoe-horning in one out of place action part, no one's gonna be more intersted in you point and click for just that one and the people who got the game for being a point and click don't want it in there. And the final puzzle is another prolonged organ one that is just the worst.

I've been wanting to play that for over a decade but it stubbornly refuses to get a re-release on Steam or GOG (the trouble probably stems from the Robert de Niro connection, who probably owns the rights and probably doesn't even remember the game exists) I absolutely love the artist, Mark Ryden, who contributed the game's art, it's really criminal the game has yet to get re-released.

Ugh, don't ask me what source exactly I got it from, it's been sitting on my computer for a while now. Can't imagine it being too hard to Google, though. Conveniently even came in a pre-setup Dosbox-launcher and everything.

Movie Sonic looks hilarious!
Also: "brand personality" - Bless those PR folks...

How in the fuck does that Sonic look 10x worse than my extremely low expectations.

The forward facing art doesn't look too bad. The issue is that he doesn't have unique poses, they are using poses similar to the other Sonic models it looks uncanny there. The movie model probably look better with its intended setting.
If I had one major complaint it is that he should be wearing gloves. Why would the artist think that he has white fur hands?

There's also the issue with the eyes. That's the weirdest looking part. It just reeks of some executive being like "Merged eyes look weird" and totally ignoring almost 3 decades of relatively consistent design.
