Any Candy around 29" is the perfect fighting game cabinet. I prefer most other genres on a smaller screen for easier peripheral vision.

Weird, I feel the opposite!

25 inch for a fighting game as it’s a relatively small playfield with large sprites and you can take it in all at once :fastlove:

SHMUPs on a 29 inch vertical so you’ve got detailed view of the area around your small sprite and plenty of screen for peripheral vision.

I guess the angle too. Fighting games are quite singular focus on one moving but short area where you're watching a sprite and anticipating movement. I find shmups especially hard to take in when I have a 29 incher all up in my face and stuff jizzing about all around me. :fastlove:

A wider FoV by size/angle/position eases me in.

Because it uses an algorithm based on your browsing history.

First time buying and selling on eBay in a while. Does anyone actually prefer the new fee structure? (Apart from eBay who are raking it in.) I don’t like it as a buyer or seller tbh. And waiting for the money for days, at the mercy of tracking numbers is annoying as **** too.
