[dreamy ferry]

i did infact drop all those discs in my hand on my foot and have to retake the picture

[edgy oracle]

i use to have all the discs too

[dreamy ferry]

i use an asus external disc drive

and it works perfectly

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-SDRW-08D2S-U-LITE-External-Burner/dp/B00BGJ8GPU/ref=asc_df_B00BGJ8GPU?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80814161489193&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584413736750383&th=1

this is the one i use

but really you can use any i think

aslong as it reads discs

it should yes. but if its really REALLY old it might not. for instance my sims 2 works perfectly but theres no way to get the sims 1 to work i dont think. but thats not the disc drivers fault, my pc is too modern.

and you just plug and play

what games are you planning to run exactly? which discs

sims 2 will work, im pretty sure gta 3 will, prince of persia MIGHT but its quite old, im not sure about civilization

its worth a try, plus disc drives are ALWAYS handy to have

i literally keep mine on my desk plugged in at all times

[broken quiver]

You just get an external drive. It has a USB port. Plug and play. Maybe install the driver (comes with device)

[sleek vapor]

ea really charging 30$ for some century old games

[torpid mango]

Just waiting for my Nintendo Switch I ordered to ship, I'm finally gonna have something to game on in the absence of steam deck.

[stiff hill]

You get the regular or oled?

[torpid mango]

regular because of the price I found it at

I only paid $168.11

[stiff hill]

it’s fun! If you need game recommendations lmk cause I have quite a few

[torpid mango]

I already have a library from my past switch lite ownership, but sold it a few years back

but wanted a Switch again

I ordered a Pikachu controller and micro sd card for it, those are in the process of shipping

the switch itself comes with eevee/eeveelutions hori pad joycons, a dock, power adapter, and hdmi cable.

so I'm set for handheld and tv play

already have 2 game purchases in mind for March

@stiff hill would you recommend The 2 major Zelda titles that came to the switch?

[stiff hill]

If you like wide open world then BOTW and TOTK are really good. Personally I’m playing echos of time right now

But I do have both titles I just get stuck

[torpid mango]

I'll add them to the list of future purchases, might wait till I have a Switch 2 to get them.

[forest scarab]

Fire Emblem games are great

[torpid mango]

My current March Purchases is Pokemon Sword and Yugioh Early Days Collection

[torpid mango]

I prefer the warrior variants and I already own both.

[forest scarab]

I bought FE Engage on release and I still have to play it

Need to finish current singleplayer game I'm playing and maybe then

[stiff hill]

I tried fire emblem games I could never finish them

[torpid mango]

I want to get into the Xenoblade series

[forest scarab]

I binged fire emblem three houses when I had to go into quarantine for 2 weeks

Gotta do something when locked inside of a hotel room for 2 weeks

[stiff hill]

I think for me it’s just the combat style i personally don’t like with FE

Or the chessboard like fighting

[torpid mango]

I'm limited on what turn based titles that interest me

[stiff hill]

Same

[forest scarab]

My all-time favorite game is turn based so I'm fine with that kind of combat :P

[torpid mango]

One of my all time favorite Nintendo series is Pokemon, so Coromon, Nexomon are titles are of interest. I own Coromon on pc, and Nexomon I actually have a switch version of it that I purchased.

I'm hoping Legends Z-A pulls me in unlike Legends Arceus that didn't look like my cup of tea.

so I hope we see gameplay at the next Pokemon Presents in February

[forest scarab]

I dropped arceus like halfway through

It was just so boring

[torpid mango]

I wasn't interested in the attacking mechanics of fast or slow.

[forest scarab]

The concept was great, execution just...

Empty ugly looking world with almost nothing really to do

[torpid mango]

and if it also revolved around completing the pokedex, then I also wouldn't be interested as I like only catch my faves.

I haven't decided if I'm gonna buy the dlc for Pokemon Sword, but I might.

[stiff hill]

personally not worth it

I didn’t go back after finishing the main game

If it had been included and not dlc maybe

[torpid mango]

I'm playing through the dlc in the gba recreation of Pokemon Sword and Shield

[stiff hill]

I like pokemon but I miss when we were able to dress up and suck like in was it black and white?

I forget which game it was

Cause ik it was on the 3DS

[torpid mango]

x and y

[stiff hill]

Yeah I love x and y and it played it the most

[forest scarab]

I never had a 3DS so I skipped all the pokemon games for that

[torpid mango]

Pokemon Y is my favorite sixth gen game

[forest scarab]

Platinum is my favorite pokemon game and I'm still upset they refuse to release it for the switch

[stiff hill]

I had X and I dug the hell out of the character stylization

I also had too much money in that game too

[torpid mango]

of seventh gen I only beat Pokemon Sun, didn't play the updated versions

[broken quiver]

Quarter of a century. 😆

[broken quiver]

Oh what happened to your steam deck

[stiff hill]

I’ve played almost all the Pokémon iterations but like sword and shield had the least stuff in it

[torpid mango]

it randomly shuts off so I don't risk using it.

[forest scarab]

I've played every pokemon except for BW2, XY, SM/USM

[broken quiver]

I recommend fire emblem and Xenoblade Chronicles

[forest scarab]

What if you were just out of battery :^)

[torpid mango]

I own the Fire Emblem titles that interest me

[broken quiver]

Oh I can't unicorn overlord. As you can tell I'm a fan of jrpgs

[torpid mango]

I can't believe that likely I'll have my controller and micro sd card before my Switch

[broken quiver]

Nice! Mine is also used. A friend sold it for $100 cdn during the pandemic. Haha I got a friend discount. 😄

[torpid mango]

that I ordered seperately

[dreamy ferry]

pengin

[forest scarab]

I have rarely used my controller for switch as I mostly use it in handheld mode :P

[broken quiver]

Honestly the pro controller is my favorite. I can only compare it to the Xbox one Xbox 360, PS4. And that steam one. Forgot the name. Lol (not the deck but the controller)

[torpid mango]

mine comes with eevee/eeveelutions hori pads and the dock and the other required accessories to hook up to tv.

[broken quiver]

Nice nice

Nintendo has good games

[forest scarab]

I use an 8bitdo controller

[broken quiver]

My next handheld will be a Windows one, I think

[torpid mango]

and the controller that I purchased was a PowerA - Enhanced Wired Controller for Nintendo Switch - Pokemon: Pikachu Grey

[forest scarab]

I'd like to one day get a windows handheld

[broken quiver]

I'm going to wait until my steam deck or laptop dies. 😂

My laptop (non gaming) might die soon. I'll give it Max a year. Lol

[forest scarab]

It's not something I'd use a whole lot though so I'll wait on getting something like that :v

[broken quiver]

I just wanna play my free epic Games and mods easier. I heard there are ways to get it on the deck. But... Nah. Lol

[torpid mango]

I might get a rog ally z1 extreme with an upgraded ssd

[broken quiver]

Nice

I'm going to wait until something dies. Lol

Some new models look good

[torpid mango]

but I could always switch that to a Switch 2 purchase

Probably gonna get Diablo 4 for the Switch 2

[forest scarab]

I tried diablo 4 on gamepass but can't say I enjoyed it :(

[torpid mango]

I enjoyed what I played of it on gamepass on geforce now

which I'm gonna finally re-up my subscription on geforce now tomorrow

supposedly we might be getting a Nintendo Direct next Wednesday

[forest scarab]

[broken quiver]

😭 why can't i just buy sims in USD. so it's $29.99 in the US. In canada, they priced it to be $54.99. but with our exchange rate, it actually should be 43.62. wtf am I paying extra $10 for

😭 i think i'll wait...

or try to figure out how to not pay in CDN lol

[steel niche]

vpn maybe?

[torpid mango]

or EA hates Canada

[broken quiver]

yeah they killed bioware lol

[steel niche]

or depending on where u might be able to buy a key

[broken quiver]

one of my classmates used (?) to work for bioware told me it was a lot better company before EA bought it (yeah i'm old) hahah

[steel niche]

as all companies got by EA

[broken quiver]

OH you're right. i can see if a third party seller has it.

[steel niche]

Maxis is suffering

[broken quiver]

cuz yeah $10 premium is crazy

i know I would like these games anyways (so i don't need a refund) hahahahhaha

[torpid mango]

I just bought another switch controller with hall effect joysticks for the lovely price of $55 seperated into 3 monthly payments from Amazon.

[steel niche]

yea i notice the price diff on books and its crazy sometimes
70 doubloons on a NOVEL

[steel niche]

is this good, i cant tell

[torpid mango]

yes it is good, joy sticks will not drift

[steel niche]

ive never paid that much for a controller, but tbf i never get stock ones

[torpid mango]

but I'm not paying all of it at once, I make three seperate payments

[broken quiver]

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+pay+steam+games+in+USD&oq=how+to+pay+steam+&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqCAgAEEUYJxg7MggIABBFGCcYOzIGCAEQRRg5MgcIAhAAGIAEMgcIAxAAGIAEMgcIBBAAGIAEMgcIBRAAGIAEMgcIBhAAGIAEMgcIBxAAGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgcICRAAGIAE0gEINjE1NmowajmoAgCwAgE&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:32d595ff,vid:Xiff5iaVP4U,st:0 ooo

i can just ask. lol

😛

it's not like i'm asking to pay in a third world country

I get better exchange rates on my credit card

(but before i change, i want to see if there is a discount for cdn) lol

[torpid mango]

I'd see if there is a cheaper option if possible

[steel niche]

you can always just see what the price will be if you do try to get it in usd, but you might find better prices from keys

[worn wolf]

Okay, I'm done with my final one for the day 🤣

[steel niche]

and since its a popular game, youll prolly find them

[steel niche]

love the boots

platforms 🩷

[broken quiver]

yeah i just checked cyberpunk and it's cheaper after conversion...so it's just EA hates us

[torpid mango]

for a sketch that looks amazing

[worn wolf]

Yeah, my hand is done now 🤣

[steel niche]

which sims are you looking for?

[broken quiver]

OH WAIT. NVM it's cheaper in CDN. i got the price wrong

😅

HAHAHAHHAAH

i thought it was 29.99.

it's cuz i wanted sims 1 &2

🥸

[steel niche]

lmaoooo

[broken quiver]

sorry EA

hHAHAHHAHAHAH

wow. i can't believe i am apologizing to EA

😅

i also can't believe i'm just throwing them money

nostalgia 🥹

[worn wolf]

What ea expects:

What ea is getting:

[steel niche]

nostalgia is very addictive lol

[worn wolf]

(That's all, I'm not uploading anything else)

[broken quiver]

I can get the bundle...or 3/4 of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. HAHAHHA but honestly i'd probably play sims more

[steel niche]

this meme can also work with
what i want in my bank account:
what i have in my bank account:

[steel niche]

but what brings you more happi

[broken quiver]

🤣 Sims 4 is free anyways. lol. i don't need an extra copy

[worn wolf]

...it's free for a reason, js 👀

[broken quiver]

tbh right now, roots of pacha. lol . i'm honestly just going to collect this game hahaha

[steel niche]

why do they even have that in the bundle...?

[broken quiver]

maybe they want oldies like me to get into sims 4. they should give people a copy of sims 3 lol

[worn wolf]

I don't think anybody who played the older games actually likes sims 4 tbh

[steel niche]

right
well not on the oldies point

[broken quiver]

well it works well on the steam deck (i played sims 1 the most. lol)

i just threw away the cd cuz i needed space... like 4 years ago

what is this Hello Kitty Island Adventure...??! it looks kinda like animal crossing

[steel niche]

the thing is, 4 has so much potential... with mods

and when it works...

[worn wolf]

Most stable and better graphics are literally the only 2 better things about it. Build Mode too, but it's it's not a building simulator

[steel niche]

essentially, yes

[broken quiver]

i should tell my friend. she's a fan hahah

[worn wolf]

I have like 10gb of mods and I still get bored much faster than I do with older games 🤣

[steel niche]

i want to get it but im holding off rn

[broken quiver]

wow it won so many awards (hello kitty)

it's steam deck verified 🥹

[steel niche]

oh yea i agree

and mods still cant fix a broken game

[worn wolf]

Yup

[steel niche]

it came out yesterday on pc

[worn wolf]

The foundation of it is broken

Because literally EVEYTHING they gave us, literally everything, is only there to affect emotions. Nothing else

[broken quiver]

i didn't play sims for like 10 years...

[worn wolf]

Like take the traits for example. All they do is make sims uncomfortable or inspired or whatever

[broken quiver]

even though i bought sims 3. lol. anyways, after i got a deck, i played sims 4. it was ok.

[worn wolf]

Lifestyles? All it does is affect emotions

[broken quiver]

but then i got the sims 3 collection (crazy sale) and... yeah i realize so much is missing

[worn wolf]

Milestones? Affects emotions

[steel niche]

thats why i realized that even if (god forbid) inZOI comes super wonky, it's most likely easily fixable bugs

[worn wolf]

Career progress? Affects emotions and gives us extra $$ and maybe a few socials here and there

[broken quiver]

I probably won't be able to downgrade inzoi so it would play on the steam deck. it's hard for me to turn on the PC. i'm lazy. lol

[steel niche]

its built on an engine with lots of support, ease of access, and actual documentation

[tulip sand]

Well duh, its a brand new game that does not have spaghetti code, duct tape, and gum to keep it afloat like Sims4 lmfao. It’s hanging on by a lil thread

[broken quiver]

inzoi would have to be really good to get me to go to my dark basement and turn it my PC on. heck i might move my PC tower lol

[worn wolf]

Well, it's #6 on steam rn, so hopefully it lives up to expectations

[steel niche]

yes but sims 4 was a game clearly not built for long term support that was converted to that after the fact

[broken quiver]

so far, I like what i see

I don't want it to dumb down requirements

cuz that would be the issue that EA had. lol

[worn wolf]

Also, i wasn't that excited when I watched sims 4 promo vids as I was when I watched inzoi 🤣

[broken quiver]

at worst, i can just turn on my computer 🤣

[broken quiver]

tbh i was half paying attention to the franchise. I was so addicted to it before but after a while... idk. lol

[torpid mango]

supposedly they throw in some stuff froms sims 4 in the sims 25th anniversry bundle

[steel niche]

my issue is that sims had been doing it for so long and yet somehow 4 doesnt really take anything from the past installments

[broken quiver]

i get into moods. i haven't been feeling like playing a life sim lately (except for inzoi)

[steel niche]

like why ruin a good thing

[worn wolf]

Yeah, same. I actually thought i outgrew it until I stumbled upon life by you and my passion reignited 🤣

[steel niche]

ohh thats why its included

[worn wolf]

I mean... they based it on an alternate timeline, so that should've been the first red flag

[broken quiver]

mine did until i saw some of the videos 😅

[tulip sand]

Sims4 was also suppose to be a multiplayer game with its code name; Project Olympus. MMO frfr

[worn wolf]

Yeah, they threw in grunge revival kit and that sports kit

[broken quiver]

at first it was fine but as it progressed... :/ i was still looking forward to it but i was going to wait for a few years

[tulip sand]

I’ve noticed that like for what tho? Nobody wants those damn kits

[worn wolf]

So far it's looking like inzoi is a strong contender, so im excited 🤣

[broken quiver]

I play pixel games so graphics isn't a must for me. it's gameplay.

[worn wolf]

That's why it's free 💀

[tulip sand]

To Pixelia?

[worn wolf]

Oh yeah! To pixelia seems super promising

It's a pixel life sim rpg

[broken quiver]

well i can't play it now, i wasn't a backer but i play a lot of pixel games. right now...farming one (roots of pacha)

[tulip sand]

It’s coming out in March/April I believe. That’s what the developer said.

[worn wolf]

Same time as inzoi 🥲

[broken quiver]

honestly i might play that more than inzoi cuz i can play it on the go lol

ugh i want a next gen handheld hahaha

[tulip sand]

At least we got To Pixelia & InZoi to look forward. It’s gonna be Stardew valley, but life sims oriented

[worn wolf]

I'm hoping I can play inzoi offline, cause I got an 18 hour plane ride in April 🥲

[tulip sand]

Prob on the Switch 2 u can.

[broken quiver]

i also am looking forward to that other one... uh forgot the name

i think it'd play well on a handheld

[worn wolf]

Paralives is coming this year too 👍

[broken quiver]

YEah that's the name

❤️ made by fellow canadians hahah

[tulip sand]

I was in Canada frfr. Like two wks ago

[broken quiver]

ooo

was it cold

[worn wolf]

I didn't know they're Canadian 🤣

I live in Canada rn yall

[broken quiver]

yeah from quebec i think? maybe montreal

😮

[worn wolf]

It was -10 for like a month straight

[broken quiver]

nice nice

[tulip sand]

Yup, Paralives studios is in Montreal, Canada. Their developers also

[broken quiver]

it's going to be high of -20C where I am on monday

[worn wolf]

Ooooooh 🤣

[tulip sand]

U could’ve went to their Comic Con that was last yr. Why u didn’t go?!

[worn wolf]

My gf's sister is in Montreal rn getting bottom surgery 🤣

[worn wolf]

It's an 8 hour drive 💀

[broken quiver]

how about a train?

[worn wolf]

6 hours

[broken quiver]

sigh. lol

if it was 4 then i'd go, if i were you

[worn wolf]

They should've come to my city, that's where the action is at

We host the largest anime exhibition in North America

[torpid mango]

eyes Canada being much colder than southern usa this coming Monday

[worn wolf]

And if any big celebrities come, it's always my city

[tulip sand]

Where? Vancouver lol?

[broken quiver]

are you from the south? i heard it was snowing or something ridiculous

[worn wolf]

No, toronto 🤣

Vancouver is BORING

[broken quiver]

don't you have comic cons in toronto?

[worn wolf]

My gf's friend moved there recently and says there's nothing to do

[broken quiver]

???? eat

[worn wolf]

Yeah, i didn't go last year cause I was in Mexico 😅

[torpid mango]

Northern Arkansas and it been above freezing since this past Wednesday

[broken quiver]

vancouver food is so delicious

[tulip sand]

Dude, hell nah?! Why Arkansas outta all the places?!

[torpid mango]

I have family

[broken quiver]

how did you all drive. did they plow the snow? put salt on the roads? lol

[worn wolf]

That's not enough entrainment. Here in Toronto we have karaoke bars, pet cafes, cultural sites, countless parks, arcades, and claw machine arcades

Vancouver has nothing

[broken quiver]

I live...in alberta

[tulip sand]

All, gotchu. My bad, I understand. Stuck in the Deep South too lol

[broken quiver]

🤣

[worn wolf]

Then you literally have nothing 💀

[broken quiver]

I know people that fly to vancouver to eat

[tulip sand]

U know what? I’m moving there?!Gotta place for me or nah, just kiddin btw 🤣🤣🤣

[torpid mango]

we didn't get snow since a little since Saturday before last

[worn wolf]

Also, the largest theme park in Canada with the second tallest Rollercoaster in north America is a 20 minute walk away from me 🤣

[tulip sand]

Alberta is lit, and Calgary. The best places I’ve been too

[broken quiver]

we have a lot of outdoorsy stuff. like everyone camps (except me)

[broken quiver]

calgary is fine. i live in a smaller town lol.

i used to live in calgary

[worn wolf]

Yeah, my parents got a lakeside cottage in Northern Ontario for that 🤣

[broken quiver]

we don't have those here. people have trailers or tent lol

[tulip sand]

U must be in the deep countryside. Vancouver is like the city of New York than Toronto

[broken quiver]

and lots of people ski in the mountains (except me)

[worn wolf]

Super pretty

[torpid mango]

I'd probably want to live where you're at during the summer, but not winter.

[broken quiver]

no i live in a city just...small lol.

[worn wolf]

Yeah, we got a kayak, paddle boat and a jet ski

[broken quiver]

but if i win the lottery, i'm moving to quebec city <3. also small town but feels so safe. food is great

[worn wolf]

Oh, and those small jeeps that you take off roads, whatever they were called

[worn wolf]

I've been there! The waterfall was great

[tulip sand]

U speak French? I know Quebec and Montreal are French speakers

[broken quiver]

lol jeep doesn't offroad well. for work, my coworkers ruined the undercarriage (or maybe we didn't have one that had high enough clearance). a lot of people have trucks here

[broken quiver]

no (just a beginner). but i'll learn 🙂 with my lottery winnings, i'll get a tutor

[worn wolf]

It wasn't a jeep, it was that small car that is basically a motorcycle with 4 wheels

The name slipped my mind 😅

[broken quiver]

oh those things... i never drove one

quad? or something

[torpid mango]

I have to live somewhere where they primarily speak english lol

[broken quiver]

i was there when they had a firework festival. best fireworks i've seen

google translate is great

[worn wolf]

I just lie on the grass across the street for that cause the amusement park always hosts fireworks shows 🤣

[broken quiver]

oh nice

[worn wolf]

It wasn't a quad, but looks like it

[torpid mango]

last time I was in Canada was the summer of 06

[broken quiver]

oh you live by wonderland?

[worn wolf]

YESS 🤣🤣🤣

[broken quiver]

i went on that scray... behemoth? or something

i remember yelling at my cousin "why did you pressure me to be on here", when we were at the peak

[worn wolf]

Behemot is 2nd scary. Leviathan is the true nightmare stuff

And we recently got the Yukon striker, which appearantly is worse 🤣

[worn wolf]

It's behemoth but MUCH taller

[broken quiver]

... no thanks

[worn wolf]

Yup, that's what I said 🤣

[broken quiver]

do you have an annual pass?

[worn wolf]

Yup, we always get the platinum season pass that comes with free food 🤣

[broken quiver]

this is in.. i think yorkdale or something (?) i forgot

[worn wolf]

It also gets us into Halloween haunt and winter wonderland

[broken quiver]

nice. so if i was hungry for snacks, i'd just go

ooooo that sounds fun

my sister used to l ive in toronto

(high park)

[worn wolf]

Yorkdale is part on north york, wonderland is in vaughan 👍

[broken quiver]

oh by the giant outlet

[worn wolf]

Well, I'm talking about full meals 🤣

[worn wolf]

Yes,, vaughan mills

[broken quiver]

wow. so you don't ...even need groceries

[worn wolf]

Yup 🤣

You get 1 free every 4 hours

[broken quiver]

taht is so good

[worn wolf]

Plus, free parking

[broken quiver]

i'd totally abuse it

[worn wolf]

So premium is worth it 👌

That's why we buy it 🤣🤣🤣

And it's not even that expansive

[broken quiver]

how much is it

[worn wolf]

A wonderland ticket is $60 and a full season premium pass is $120

So 100% worth it

[broken quiver]

that is so cheap

lol

[worn wolf]

Yes!!

[broken quiver]

i think a day pass at disneyworld is like $80 american the last time i went (5 years ago)

[worn wolf]

Damn 💀

Yeah, i never went to Disneyland and I don't want to either

[broken quiver]

i hate hte line ups. so i vowed never again. it's gotten so congested

universal studios ftw. they have solo lines

lol

[worn wolf]

Cause $80 and you only get to ride like 4 rides (because of all the lines)

Also, Niagara falls is only an hour drive away, and it has even MORE attractions

[broken quiver]

there's nothing here except affordable housing

[worn wolf]

Yeah, that's where Alberta shines 🥲

[torpid mango]

There is a theme park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Six Flags in St. Louis, Missouri, a theme park in my hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, then one somewhere in Oklahoma.

[worn wolf]

Yeah, but how far do u drive to each location?

Cause the ones I mentioned are day trips 🤣

[torpid mango]

the farthest one away is my hometown one

[broken quiver]

it's full of rollercoasters, right? i remember seeing ads and it looks scary

[worn wolf]

And didn't a kid like.... lost something on one of the rides? Or am I thinking of another theme park?

[broken quiver]

💀 i think someone died on a rollercoaster in my city

[tulip sand]

The best states to live in man?

[torpid mango]

and I haven't been to many amusement parks

[worn wolf]

Damn 💀

[torpid mango]

oh the closest amusement prk to me that is like 2-3 hours away is Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri

[broken quiver]

i didn't know - i've actually been on that roller coaster (years later) haha

[worn wolf]

Idk if anybody died at wonderland, but wouldn't be surprised if they did

Cause damn

[broken quiver]

mine is about a 30- 40 min drive but it's a not a big amusement park

[worn wolf]

Specifically the leviathan 🤣🤣

Living next to one has pros and cons

The cons are the traffic

[broken quiver]

oh yeah i got no traffic

[torpid mango]

I'm gonna make a trip to Silver Dollar City in 2026

[broken quiver]

i went to work (dt) in like 30 mins today

(but it was like 5am in the morning) lololol

[worn wolf]

Oh yeah, i heard u don't even have a subway 🤣

[broken quiver]

after work... sigh. snow was making everything an ice rink. i think I took..45 mins? lol

[broken quiver]

oh we do. i dont' use it. it's full of homeless doing drugs (and there's no stop in my neighbourhood)

[worn wolf]

So.... same as every city 😅

[broken quiver]

urs too?

gah

[worn wolf]

Anywhere there's a subway, there's that

[broken quiver]

😦

just hte last 5 years ugh

[worn wolf]

I've got some horror stories I'm not allowed to share on a sfw sub, so I prefer the go train

[tulip sand]

Wait wha?!

[broken quiver]

yeah. they don't get arrested or anything. lol

[worn wolf]

Nope

[broken quiver]

no one does anything

they're scary cuz they're unpredictable. like they 've thrown people onto tracks

[worn wolf]

One time, one stunk up the ENTIRE cart

I only had like 2 stops, but I was still gagging

[broken quiver]

i'd have gotten off

😦

[worn wolf]

We actually had it happen 2 years ago here

[broken quiver]

i think i prefer taking a bus lol

[worn wolf]

Of course, there are good parts too

We had a rave last year, and on the final train somebody brought a dj booth and threw an after party on the subway 🤣

[broken quiver]

my boss asked me to move offices... so i could get free parking but i gotta drive out of town (which is like 20 mins away from my house cuz i live at the border). i don't think i'll do it. haha but free parking is tempting when it's so scary in my city

[worn wolf]

Bruh, it's only 20 minutes 😭

[broken quiver]

but i gotta drive.. on highways

lol

[worn wolf]

My mom drives my brother to school for longer than that 🤣

[worn wolf]

Snow?

[broken quiver]

i think once i lose my parking spot, i'm bussing

[broken quiver]

yeah

[worn wolf]

Yeah, we don't really have that problem here

[broken quiver]

I work beside my gym. if i move office, iw ork beside a police station lol

[worn wolf]

Cause my parents live in an area with the highest land tax in Canada, so the roads are always cleaned 🤣

[broken quiver]

i mean it's safer...but nothing to do

[worn wolf]

Yeah, i get that 😅

[broken quiver]

nice. we have giant pot holes.

i think i ran over like at least 10 on the way home

[worn wolf]

My mom works downtown in the Scotiabank Plaza, and she goes to planet fitness during lunch 🤣

[broken quiver]

yeah i went to the gym at lunch. it's great

🙂

[worn wolf]

Yeah, our potholes also get fixed real quick

I work from home, so idc where I am 😅

[broken quiver]

our temp swings like crazy in the last 5 years

it was above 0C last week? now it's going to be like -20C on monday

[worn wolf]

Canadian weather was always bipolar though 🤣

[broken quiver]

no it is recent

well at least here...

before it was just cold...

now it's warm/cold. honstly i prefer cold. i hate driving on ice

[worn wolf]

Bruh, back in 2015 it was beach weather on a Tuesday and ski weather on a Friday

[broken quiver]

2015 is recent for me

😌

[worn wolf]

Me too.... but it's literally a decade ago 🥲

[broken quiver]

anwyays i was in toronto during a NYE...and it was like 9C and i was like wtf is this weather??! lol

[worn wolf]

This year it was -15

[broken quiver]

it's usually way below zero here but...now it could be warmer than 0C

[broken quiver]

i was alive/playing Sims 1 when it came out

😆

[worn wolf]

So... 1996? 🤔

[broken quiver]

heck i might have bought all the DLCs i can't remember

now i have them all 🙂

[worn wolf]

Wait, if u bought them.... are u a 70s baby? 🤣🤣🤣

I'm just old

lol

[worn wolf]

Bruh 💀

Nuh, i was born last century too, I get that 🤣

[broken quiver]

lol

last century ...

[worn wolf]

I was alive during sims 1, but only started playing when sims 3 came out

[broken quiver]

lets just say i'm a millennial. lol

[worn wolf]

Would've played sims 2, but my parents didn't know it so I didn't either 🤷🏼‍♀️

[worn wolf]

I'm dating one 🤣

[torpid mango]

I'm turning 36 this year

[worn wolf]

I'm turning 26 in a couple of weeks 🫡

[broken quiver]

being old has its perk. i have a job lol

[worn wolf]

....even though I still get id'd like they're checking my passport 💀

[worn wolf]

So do i, grandpa 🤣

[broken quiver]

😔 i'm stilling taking courses

so i'm a student still haha. i get student discount

[worn wolf]

Well, you're never too old to study 🤷🏼‍♀️

[broken quiver]

It's just so hard...

[sweet nymph]

Idk about that a couple of days ago it snowed at 6 and everything was a couple of inches deep

[broken quiver]

i feel like my memory has gotten worse

[worn wolf]

No, it's just hard to get back into it after you've been out of practice

[worn wolf]

If it snows in the evening, it's clear by the morning

[broken quiver]

yeah it's getting easier... i have taken like 7 (?) courses so far in my program.

[worn wolf]

Nice!!

[broken quiver]

now i just dont' care as much LOL

i just need to pass... i don't need to get such a high grade

i'm learning not to care lol

[worn wolf]

Tbh, employers don't really look at your grades, just a diploma 🤣

[broken quiver]

i'm already employed lol but i'm doing this for an upgrade

🙂

[worn wolf]

Unless you're planning to work a job that might off people (like a doctor), you're good 🤣

[sweet nymph]

what do you call the person that graduated medical school with the worst grades?
||a doctor! ||

[broken quiver]

lol a med student told me that

🤣

[dire karma]

[tulip sand]

U use TikTok

[worn wolf]

Not really

Maybe sometimes

[tulip sand]

Heard of RedNote?

[worn wolf]

Ah, the Chinese one

[sweet nymph]

ironically I got 3 years left of Canadian work experience to become a professionally designated computer engineer...

[turbid gate]

I used rednote while the usa tt ban was happening, it was lovely, but soon got bored of it just like tt

[wheat merlin]

I still have REDnote installed on my phone. It's great. 🙂

[cunning jacinth]

don't you have to agree to some Chinese Party diatribe before using it? not like a EULA but a manifesto

[broken quiver]

Couldn't you be a software developer without the designation? Does the p.eng matter in the industry? Cuz then you wouldn't need to pay dues. I'm just curious.

[cunning jacinth]

Manor Lords.

easy life, conquest goal, 3 years until raids.
3 groups of 18 beat my 19 rookies and 5 retinue and oh no my game crashes

I don't understand Manor Lords

[broken quiver]

It's supposed to be really good

[cunning jacinth]

it is. I'm not.

[broken quiver]

Oh lol

I am considering medieval dynasty... but then I figured i should... finish Skyrim, lol

It's been in my library for years

[cunning jacinth]

manor lords > dynasty imo

maybe I didn't get far enough into the latter tho

[stiff hill]

everyone obsessed with that game

[cunning jacinth]

to be fair I've played it like.. 3 times ever and never challenged the BBEG

[sweet nymph]

yes it's nearly completely useless

however it lets me brag to people I'm a software engineer, then legally correct them when they say I'm not a real engineer.

[broken quiver]

Lol I think Canada changed the ruling and allowed software engineers to call themselves engineers without the p.eng

[sweet nymph]

https://www.peo.on.ca/public-protection/complaints-and-illegal-practice/report-unlicensed-individuals-or-companies-2#software

Still kind of illegal

If you don't like a tech company you can report them and get their job postings taken down.

[broken quiver]

Oh really. Haha. I thought they changed it. I guess they didn't

Anyways: Samsung Files Patent to Ditch Bluetooth in Galaxy Buds https://search.app/Uama1yaEBafeTc9YA ?? Bluetooth is going to be obsolete? 😂 Oh man I'm feeling my age. Back then we'd use an earphone jack.

[sweet nymph]

I can't believe they're trying to patent the concept of using a Bluetooth connection to establish another connection.

[broken quiver]

Oh yeah that too. That's going to be weird

If they're the only ones with it, how will it connect to devices

[sweet nymph]

there's so many BS patents floating around, companies will try to patent anything they can think of.

if Samsung wants to turn this into an industry standard, they'll sign a cross-licensing agreement with everyone in the industry.

If you have a bunch of patents it's easier to force other companies into the standardization process because it's a mutually-assured destruction scenario (well we all have patents covering UWB, so none of us can do anything unless we agree to license to each other)

[broken quiver]

sigh. kinda sucks though. i guess this is how they make money

[sweet nymph]

well it's a local maximum for the IP system

If you don't do this, you're going to get sued by companies that did.

And if you can't countersue for violations of your own patents, you'll always be losing money on these lawsuits.

the really innovative companies realize this and acquire patents for deterrence reasons so they can compete on tech.

[sage tendon]

Someone have already experienced random leaving from discord server? sometime i loose a server idk why i'm not banned

and another time i'm banned but never talked in

[shadow sluice]

im wanting this month to go by fast i hope they release the game for free on steam has any one herd if they will yet i really need to know lol

[sleek vapor]

[unreal stream]

This game could be $200 and I would pay cash

[steel niche]

[ionic jewel]

@civic basin Man you really like your tuners ey?!

[earnest ice]

Does anyone know if Inzoi will also be released for mobile devices? According to what I saw in a video by a YouTuber, it is possible that it will be released for mobile devices.

[stiff hill]

No it will be on pc for early access

[earnest ice]

Ouh

Thanks 😊

[stiff hill]

With its current graphics req it is unlikely to come to mobile

[earnest ice]

Although I doubt I can play Inzoi, it asks for many requirements which I don't have yet :">

[earnest ice]

But is it possible to create a different version of Inzoi for PC but for mobiles not as much as the one for PC but still have a mini version?

[stiff hill]

Not sure. But if they did in the future it would be very limited imo

[earnest ice]

Well still, I hope it runs well on PC, but I also have a doubt: Will it be released for consoles or only PC?

[stiff hill]

PC only for now. Console may come later but there is no set date

[earnest ice]

Were you able to try it when it had its free trial?

[stiff hill]

Yes , it was the limited character creator back in august

[minor nymph]

hi hi

hi i cant find the mod to the sims 2 beta lighting here please help

[cunning jacinth]

Hi, have you tried the Sims server?

[subtle shard]

why cant my v ever look this good?

what am i doing wrong ??

[stiff hill]

thats probably mods imo\

cause im p sure that hair aint in the game

[subtle shard]

even with mods my v never looks this good... nexus kind of sucks when it comes to finding particular mods

[stiff hill]

it could very possibly also be editing

[subtle shard]

yep i was going to say that.. really good editing

[grand musk]

Hi people, how are yall doing

[worn atlas]

Depends on the context

Sometimes it means men love men ( gay) and some means Multi-level marketing

[plush acorn]

I bought them and I'm having Zero issues 👀

[broken quiver]

Oh really

Nice

I didn't even install it. I had buyers remorse. 😅

I kept seeing YouTube videos that it's so buggy

[stiff hill]

I think it’s people computers specifically . Cause I’ve also had no issues with 2

[broken quiver]

Ohhhhhhhhh

[stiff hill]

people probably trying to play it on ancient PCs maybe

[broken quiver]

I guess I should have tried. Ah. I'll wait for a sale. Maybe lol

I am still good with sims 3

[sleek vapor]

Their portion sizes so small but it's so good 15/10

[sleek vapor]

Nah this would never full me up and i would be pissed because they cost around $10-20

that is insane. I joined a family and have only 685 games lol. I am still overwhelmed.

EDIT: LOL oops ok i have a lot too. i thought I only had 200 (that was my own games

i have this bad habbit of collecting games...

[limpid flame]

hi all, roughly how much will the game cost?

[stiff hill]

No set price yet. Tho the game will be paid

[limpid flame]

thank you. im excited at the same time.. there is FEAR lol

[stiff hill]

lol it’s ok

[quaint island]

I’d save 60-70 bucks just in case

[crimson brook]

Back when the sims cared about the details

[crimson brook]

I'm guessing $60

[exotic narwhal]

[quiet perch]

Two options: be amazing or watch your company lose money

[quiet perch]

Hi

[sleek vapor]

Thats a rumor

[crimson brook]

Yeah

[sweet nymph]

i love how $60 games have been the standard for 30 years

despite the cost/quality of video games going up and inflation lowering the value of $60

when my dad had an Atari 2600 that cost the equivalent of $960 and the games were the equivalent of $100+

[broken quiver]

🥹 with the weak canadian dollar, it has increased to like almost $100 for us lol. anyways, indie games ftw. lol

[cunning jacinth]

dw. USD too, soon.

[broken quiver]

can the usd drop?

[cunning jacinth]

$70 for base game, $100 for full game

[broken quiver]

our dollars is measured against the usd

ohhh

[cunning jacinth]

sorry :/

[broken quiver]

you mean inflation...yeah might happen

[cunning jacinth]

greed™️

[broken quiver]

honestly when i go to the states, your stuff is so $$$. it's the same number, but the currency is 30% higher (now like 40%) lol

i was in boston last year...i saw the price of bubble tea...and said nah. i'll have it at home. lol

[crimson brook]

I wanna go to canada

Idc if I'm broke there

[cunning jacinth]

make USA the 14th province, please

at least take the midwest

[broken quiver]

i think the americans make more money. most people try to immigrate to the US

[broken quiver]

LOL NGL i don't know how many provinces are there in canada

🤣

[shy silo]

No real cause what is this timeline I want out 😭

[broken quiver]

i've only been to a few...

I felt like to beat up the customer or smash his TV during screen check.

[marble mist]

Haha, I feel you. Much cheaper here in Canada. I'm currently on a trip in China and I'm even more shocked here by how cheap some things are 😂 I can definitely gain a few pounds if I stay here too long

[broken quiver]

Nice nice. Oh did you spend the new years there?

[sweet nymph]

would take home probably like $60k more a year if i moved to Texas

[marble mist]

Yeah, I also arrived when they had their first major snow storm haha. Left Canada with snow, arrived with more snow lol. New Years is pretty cool over here, I'm going to try to do a Vlog for the first time, but I doubt it would be good xD

[broken quiver]

Lol I think that's ||almost my annual salary 😅 ||

[raven aurora]

Nah don't

Canada is fucked

[broken quiver]

Lol my parents watches Chinese vlogs. Just people walking around and eating. It's because they haven't been back to HK or guang dong in years.

It's kinda nice to see how a different country every day people live, without the media slant.

[sweet nymph]

tech industry is wild

Smartest move if you can't go to the USA after grad is to work at a USA tech company and have them move you.

[marble mist]

Agreed

[broken quiver]

Is it still the same these days, with ChatGPT? I've been reading the news. 👀

[sweet nymph]

Probably even more so honestly.

The best talent is still in the USA because higher wages and greater innovation.

to give an example, Americans will push back on flawed requirements or get into arguments if they think the project is going to fail.

in much of the world there's more deference to authority, so they'll just silently do a bad job rather than speak up.

[broken quiver]

Ah yeah I noticed that cultural difference when I was working in design. (Also on some workers who weren't born/from Canada)

We often outsourced work

[sweet nymph]

ChatGPT can replace the second type of programmer that just mindlessly implements requirements. But it doesn't have the broader context of "I have the domain knowledge to see that if this breaks, your entire business will fail, and you don't have any backups"

[broken quiver]

It's quite dangerous then

[sweet nymph]

definitely

but still very useful

[broken quiver]

🤣 I was trying to get ChatGPT to check a finance calc for homework. It spouted out nonsense that looked like it was right. After that I didn't use it.

[sweet nymph]

try Deepseek or o1

slightly better at that

still makes mistakes but thinking models are better at math.

[broken quiver]

I am. I mtl foreign webnovels. It gives less garbage even if its always busy

Honestly that's what I use chatgpt for. Translation tool. Lol

[forest scarab]

DeepL is better for that as it's created purely for translating

[broken quiver]

ChatGPT would just make up stuff not even in the novel

[sweet nymph]

presumably you're iterating on the results

[broken quiver]

Well with Chinese... It's hard to read. I don't need accuracy. Just something readable

[sweet nymph]

chinese is weird syntactically

[broken quiver]

Yup. Actually I learned Chinese before ... 😅 I honestly should be reading them in Chinese but... Effort

🤣

I'm like a kindergarten level

[sweet nymph]

do the translations fit in the text boxes

[sweet nymph]

me when I learn hsk2 vocab and can convince Chinese spam calls to stay on the phone for exactly 2 minutes

[broken quiver]

With ChatGPT, I gotta break it or else it makes stuff up. Deepseek tends to be ok though

[broken quiver]

I use.... Google screen call.

It provides a live transcript

[sweet nymph]

Every minute is $1-2 of free Chinese tutoring

So I view myself as scamming them.

And it's also a great way to test myself.

[broken quiver]

When someone starts talking in Mandarin I know it's a scam. Haha. My family is Cantonese and honestly no one calls me in Chinese

[cunning jacinth]

10 and 3 territories innit?

[broken quiver]

Haha idk. 🤣

I think back in the day it was 2 territories. Then there was another one

[cunning jacinth]

US with Guam, honestly.

[ionic jewel]

Well ladies and gentleman 👒 🎩!! After 12+ hours straight of KCD2 I'm bored

[cunning jacinth]

you aren't doing it right smh. I'm still on a quest to find a dog

[ionic jewel]

LOL, just kidding! I can't get enough. 😳

This game combines Skyrim and RDR2. It’s a polished medieval dynasty without the city building. It’s fun and immersive as hell!

[ionic jewel]

I got pebbles back and I had to get my money back that I sneakily put in that beginning chest in the game prologue 😌👌🏾.

[cunning jacinth]

PEBBLES IS BACK?

[ionic jewel]

They thought they were going to take ALL my money

[ionic jewel]

😳

[ionic jewel]

Ma bad bro

[cunning jacinth]

I'm running around in stolen clothes and hunting sword lmfao

I think we need to teach Henry not to ride horses. he always ends up grieviously wounded

[ionic jewel]

The bandits there stole some of it but I still have over half of what I put in there. I just wish I put the WHOLE 1400 🤦🏾‍♂️

[ionic jewel]

**Horse riding is pretty terrible. Its like driving a tank 😆 **

[cunning jacinth]

you might be further than me

think I only put like 5 hours in

FOR NOW

oof

[ionic jewel]

Yea! Take your time bro. No rush enjoy it!

[ionic jewel]

My goal the entire time was to quickly obtain high-level gear and collect my money from the chest to secure my first place to stay. Along the way, I aimed to level up my speech and agility. I intentionally ran while overencumbered, dealing with fights as they came, which was quite fun. Now I’m just a blur running around with all my items in the chest in my room lol, keeping only the essentials. 😌👌🏾

[feral acorn]

I need the game to release right NOW

[stiff hill]

same

[sleek mica]

That room is so mf cute

[broken quiver]

Nice! I'm going to wait for a sale... And after I play the first one. Lol

Have you all played the first one? It is was free on epic games in dec (?)

[ionic jewel]

I sat on that game for years before actually playing it because my PC couldn't handle it at the time. I upgraded my GPU, but I left the old, outdated CPU in there, which bottlenecked my system.

I still couldn’t play it until recently, when KCD2 was released. Now that KCD2 is out, I’ve logged more hours in it than I did in the original KCD! 😂 It is so well-optimized, and the timing of the release of the override settings for DLSS4 in the Nvidia app couldn’t have been better.

There’s an "experimental" setting in the game that lets you push beyond ultra graphics 😳. I’ve been hitting over 70 FPS on DLAA (ultra) and over 50 FPS on DLAA (experimental).

Put it this way: even my girlfriend noticed a difference in the experimental settings, and she knows absolutely nothing about computers!

They made the CryEngine weep in this game 🔥👑🙌🏾

Lol

[broken quiver]

Nice!

So the second one might be better optimized

Yeah my CPU is like 6 years old

Might be my bottleneck .

I think I might be able to play things on mid settings. Haha

[ionic jewel]

Understatement…This was fps I got while recording “8k” footage on the Nvidia app.

[broken quiver]

Wow

[ionic jewel]

Honestly, this couldn’t have been a better time for you to jump on. Lucky 🍀 duck! Lol

[broken quiver]

Nice computer haha

[broken quiver]

Most of my gaming is on a steam deck. 😂 My computer just collects dust. Waiting on inzoi

[ionic jewel]

No, but seriously... I believe it's a mistake to upgrade a GPU for better graphics performance while keeping an old CPU, especially when playing CPU-intensive games that involve significant AI processing. Ya dig?! Lol

[sleek vapor]

Aye man someone explain to me how rdr2 is $15 yet the ported version of rdr1 is $40 can someone make it make sense

[ionic jewel]

There's nothing wrong with that; the Steam Deck seems solid! I'm jealous! I haven't had a good handheld device since the Game Boy Advance.

[ionic jewel]

Two ✌️🏾 words!

[ionic jewel]

Supply…

[ionic jewel]

Demand

[broken quiver]

Yeah that's why I got a mid GPU. I went from a 1060 to a 4060. 😅

[ionic jewel]

Emphasis on demand 🤣…kinda like Sims 4 expansion vs Sims 1/2 re-release ha

[broken quiver]

I bought a i9 so it's not that terrible. But probably is my bottleneck

Lol typo

Heavily modded Skyrim kept crashing on me. So probably is my CPU. I had 32 gb RAM

[ionic jewel]

That's a solid GPU, and once again, you lucky! 🍀 🦆 You got in at the perfect time with the RTX 40 series, where the DLSS 4 technology allows you to run games at higher fidelity while using less VRAM. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Do you ever play the lottery? 🤔

If you win, I want half! 😆

[broken quiver]

Lol I have won stuff last year. Not a lot... Haha better than nothing

[broken quiver]

I regret not waiting for 4070 super. Was getting this for lby. But whatever. It is what it is. Haha

I'm going to play mid graphics until my computer can't handle it. Next upgrade is probably both GPU and CPU

Or just CPU. Lol

[ionic jewel]

People often underestimate the increased demand they place on their systems with mod lists. I love Vortex and Wabbajack, but have you considered the sheer volume of mods you're adding to a game that hasn’t been graphically optimized in over 10 years? 🤣

I've added about 500 GB worth of mods to that game. That's equivalent to five copies of Skyrim! 🤣

[broken quiver]

Yah I tried novlus. 😂

I think they had a reduced version. I didn't try it

[ionic jewel]

For KCD2 you should be SOLID!!

InZOI on the other hand!

[broken quiver]

Hahaha

I'll play mid settings

[ionic jewel]

Yea, U5 don't mess around. I think people underestimate how CPU intensive this game will be with how much they mention GPU.

[ionic jewel]

You are in better shape with the DLSS 4 upgrade. I am 99.9% certain it will be fully supported. It would be a misstep otherwise, and they are already collaborating with Nvidia on ACE

**Time for some more KCD2, peace **

[broken quiver]

I'm playing rdr2. 😆

[sleek vapor]

cant even play it man all it does is goes to a black screen or it crashes

This is what i hate about pc gaming

I would play it on the ps5 but rockstar is too lazy to give it a fps patch

I updated my drivers aswell

[broken quiver]

Oh really? I'm playing on the steam deck,

[sleek vapor]

o

ive tried playing it on steam deck but it keeps jumping from 28 to 10 fps

[broken quiver]

Oh? Seems OK for me haha. Maybe I'm not where you are. I'm at the prologue still... restarted it cuz i took a break and forgot

I remember trying it on my pc. The performance was similar so i switched to the deck

[broken quiver]

Interesting article

So chaos was the secret sauce

I wonder how inzoi will be then.

Got my Nintendo Switch! Installing games as we speak.

first thing I did was install my 256gb micro sd card that I got.

then had to set everything up, had to use the screen for one option when it came to the disconnected hori pads since they don't work wirelessly.

it came deader as a thumbnail lol

had to charge seperately from the dock before it powered on

after all this spending I'm good for the month lol, just have enough to get by.

[cunning jacinth]

as one does

[torpid mango]

the micro sd card was a convincing fake, came in packaging and everything

so disappointed

[raven aurora]

2?

[torpid mango]

the og

Switch 2 isn’t out yet

[broken quiver]

Oh from Amazon? Yah it's risky. I only buy from Amazon or a retailer with lots of reviews

Or get it from like Best Buy (not third party)

[cunning jacinth]

help I want to play KCD2 but I'm still a horrible swordsman

[torpid mango]

I'm a horrible swordsman to lol and I only own KCD1

[dreamy oracle]

I can List Why People Owns/Possess the Macro Keyboards

1. They can Type Bad Word in One Press Such as Delay Delay Delay & then I Quit after the Morale Completely Destroyed by Screaming Machines
2. They will Power Trip & Act like [Forbidden Korean 🇰🇷]
3. Order66 & Orwell-Like Behavior
4. Dogmatic Behavior that'll Issue Ultimatums with Finger on Macro Button Excessively

It was from ebay, but last night purchased an Amazon Basics Micro SD card which have stellar reviews for use with a Switch.

[torpid mango]

stupid capitol one chrome app leading me to an ebay listing

tomorrow will be a better day once I can finally install a micro sd card that I can expand my list of games installed on my Switch from the titles I own.

[hushed flower]

[sleek vapor]

imma see

[sleek vapor]

$70

[cunning jacinth]

so I'm playing KCD2.
I have my horse. I'm searching for my dog
I have taken 3, maybe 4 paths to get to a certain NPC
EVERY TIME, I have found the same shield/axe + sword duo bandits
the axe guy is too armored. I hate life.

[sleek vapor]

YO THIS GAME IS BEAUTIFUL HOLY FRICK

AND I GET TO HAVE MY OWN CHOICES

HECK YEAH

[cunning jacinth]

currently hate it bc I've locked myself into an unwinnable fight I don't want to walk away from
they're... bandits!

and dude has a random weapon. first it was an axe, now it's a sword. and he's good with it

I'm just trying to beat him to get his shield smh

[obtuse linden]

hi

[raw oak]

inzoi

[lean sluice]

Yoooo

[turbid fable]

Is there anyway I can get this game early as I’m a game dev student and wanted to use Inzoi as a reference,dw if not

[stiff hill]

No you’ll have to wait till early access is out next month

[kindred patio]

I remember back in the good ol playstation home days we had the opportunity to make movies using the "film camera" and we even got to build sets and stuff. I hope this has that. I miss playstation home!

[vital zinc]

so many good games coming this year I think gta 6 even

[gloomy furnace]

Has that been confirmed?

[vital zinc]

yeah even ign posted it

[gloomy furnace]

Ah fair then we hope it’s not post boned again 😭

[swift quiver]

"Hey there, folks! New here, can't wait to experience all the freedom you can't have in real life , but you can get a dog pet?

[copper urchin]

Salut j'aimerais juste savoir si le jeu (à sa sortie complète éventuellement) on aurait la possibilité de Rp comme avec gta et FiveM

[vital zinc]

yeah ign said it

[torpid mango]

I'm also excited for Lost Soul Aside and the psn requirement was removed, that is coming day one on ps5 and pc.

[chrome herald]

https://tenor.com/view/scooby-doo-shaggy-hey-gif-24047300

Hey! Hey! Hey! How's everybody doing?

[torpid mango]

pretty good, installing games onto my new micro sd card on my Nintendo Switch.

[chrome herald]

Good for you 👍.

[torpid mango]

this will be day 3 with my Nintendo Switch I purchased and day one turned out that I possibly had a bust on my micro sd that I originally ordered. But I ordered a new micro sd card to replace it Thursday Night and got it today.

Inzoi will have to wait to be purchased until I have a working gaming handheld pc

but already got games planned to purchase to keep me preoccupied while I save up for a new gaming handheld pc.

[wheat merlin]

Oh man... childhood memories. 🤗

[torpid mango]

that had to be Scooby Doo 2, haven't watched the movie, sucks that it flopped.

know I loved the original live action Scooby Doo

[chrome herald]

I'm glad to have brought them back. This is a thing I do every time I enter a new discord server, it's how I say hello to everyone.

[quartz thorn]

[wheat merlin]

The first Scooby Doo movie. The airport scene I not to surd if it's Brisbane or Sydney because I spotted Qantas at the background.

I haven't seen any recent movies filmed after security check since 9.11.

[broken quiver]

You're getting a handheld PC to play inzoi? IDK if any would work. Maybe the new Gen

[chrome herald]

The gif I used is from Scooby-Doo 2 Monsters Unleashed, the bar scene.

[torpid mango]

I'm getting a handheld pc to play my current library mainly, and I'm sure I could get Inzoi to work on the gaming handheld that I plan to get. I'm also not ruling out waiting for the console release.

Though my next pc purchase is gonna be TLOU Part 2 Remastered

The handheld pc that interests me doesn't release till May anyways and I plan on getting it then.

[broken quiver]

There's a bunch of new Gen handhelds that are making me wanna spend money. Lol. If inzoi can run on it and doesn't look like a pixel game, maybe I'll consider it. Maybe lol. Tbh I'm very happy with my steam deck (og)

[fossil wharf]

When does inzoi pre-sale come out?

[cunning jacinth]

!cd

[rigid sundial]

Meow~
Early Access will release <t:1743205500:R> on March 28th, 2025

[sly token]

[cunning jacinth]

[crimson brook]

From is a good show if you enjoyed lost

[sterile ether]

[carmine tendon]

[mossy summit]

This is perfect. I'm waiting impatiently ❤️

[zinc fable]

Hewoo

Is march 28th right the game is coming on early next month ?

[mental geyser]

Oooh can't wait 😄

Kinda wish spring break was early but oh well

[mossy summit]

😁 Absolutely

[warm berry]

Is there a way to get the beta / demo now? Or i just missed it and i have to wait until the release?

[stiff hill]

Unfortunately not as e-a release is scheduled for next month

[zinc fable]

I really hope inzoi runs well some youtubers i watched was having a lot of perfomance problems in the game

[finite dragon]

Will there be separate profile because i want to play with my brother on the same PC but with our own inzois

[sleek vapor]

Create a different profile

[finite dragon]

Yes

I want two profiles on my pc

One for me one for my brother

[crude flare]

Hey,
Do someone know the difference versions of the graphics cards?
I would like to buya 4070 Super for Inzoi, but it exists in Aorus, Gaming, Eagle, Windforce and "DUAL EVO” and the price is different but I do not see the difference between them all

Thanks!

[sweet fjord]

[crude flare]

Ooh thanks!

[sleek vapor]

The only difference is design, they all perform the same

[crude flare]

Thanks!

[lone beacon]

Will everyone have access to the early release?

Does anyone know?

[stiff hill]

Early access will be for everyone

[ancient cliff]

has the price of the game been discussed yet?

[stiff hill]

No set price yet but is known that it will be a one time purchase

[ancient cliff]

thanks

[exotic narwhal]

Hello

[cunning jacinth]

I almost know this song better than the artist lol

[obtuse linden]

cant wait any longer

[rocky vector]

Does anybody know if Inzoi will support steam remote play?

[steel niche]

unknown
only things that are absolute about compatibility are in #faq or directly on the steam page

[rocky vector]

Okay thank you! After investigating I see that it will support steam remote as every steam game supports it. I just tested it with several games that don't have the wordings "remote play" on the store page of those games. Remote play supports all 200+ of my steam games

[dry blaze]

Would this specs be enough?
AMD Ryzen™ 7 7735HS processor and Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 graphics

[shy marten]

I didn't know you were an RS2014 Chad. Is that a good way to learn to play? I have it and a guitar but haven't played in ages. I don't know how to play and someone told me learning through that game would just make me a human jukebox instead of actually helping me learn.

[limpid flame]

I second this..

[crimson brook]

I'm almost done with the first season it's crazy

[limpid flame]

same here missed the demo/beta release so now we need to wait for the early access release on March.. i can't wait too uggghh

[limpid flame]

oh yes it is.. it's a good show to binge tbh.. now waiting for the S4

[crimson brook]

Does the show get crazier as the season progresses

[limpid flame]

Definitely, mind boggling

[cunning jacinth]

I learned everything I know from the game. it’s not supposed to be a perfect teacher but I know LOADS more now.
