And well on xbox and ps shit's been a thing for a while sadly

Denuvo is fine if implemented properly but most devs suck ass at implementing it properly

Stellar blade has denuvo and runs amazingly well

But then you have something like the capcom games who use it and are a mess

[quiet vault]

@EU rework this pls

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, whole DRM and copyright stuff needs to sorted out properly

waow

[proper basin]

Borderlands 4 requirements

[verbal nymph]

2070 minimum WTF

[orchid prism]

The requirements can't decide if a 3080 is enough or not. It does not exist in a 12GB version last I checked 😄

[nimble current]

better look a whole lot better than BL3 to warrant those system upcharges

[grizzled quarry]

6800xt recommended 😭

This shit better run over 100fps on my 6900xt

[little cape]

a 5090 will struggle

[pure bear]

modern gaming 🤢

[hardy merlin]

Oh well

Back to playing Terraria which I got for 5€ and already has 14 years of updates

[small comet]

ikr insane

although tbh i also spent whatever the ac shadows preorder cost

im just less confident in borderlands as a game than i was in ac shadows

you can also always get the collectors edition of BL4 that doesnt even come with the game at all

[novel umbra]

while I don't disagree, that is just DLC bundle pricing

at least the announced DLC looks more promising than BL3

[orchid prism]

That's one hell of a season pass then 😛

Even with a hefty 60 buck pricetag for a AAA game, that's another game on top (plus tip) for a season of DLC.

[hardy merlin]

70

[novel umbra]

yea not saying it is well priced

[hardy merlin]

Thanks to Nintendo and Sony games are now $70
Thanks to Nintendo and Xbox games soon will be $80

[novel umbra]

I expected bl4 base game to be 80

[hardy merlin]

Nah, not yet
But GTA VI surely will be

[orchid prism]

Thanks to Steam all games are now 50-75% off in a year from now, when I still don't have time to play through most of them. Thanks Valve.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUo1PgKksgw

[hardy merlin]

Fair

[orchid prism]

Besides I haven't given a toss about Borderlands since the first one. It got real fucking cringy with the side characters in 2-3 and I never bothered to give them a go 😄

[novel umbra]

2 and pre sequel are good

3 is ok

[hardy merlin]

[novel umbra]

and I refuse to talk about wonderlands

[hardy merlin]

Credit where credit is due though
Finally we have exact same price as rest of EU

@sinful cobalt

[sinful cobalt]

[narrow junco]

I kinda enjoyed it tbh

It was better than bl3 in my book

Yeah i just think the cringe dialogue is a lot more tolerable in that setting

[novel umbra]

I absolutely hated it

everything about it

classes all felt bad, the new gun types all felt inferior, the post game was atrocious

[narrow junco]

To be fair i am not a post game borderlands guy

[novel umbra]

even pre sequel had better post game

[narrow junco]

I just play the story and all the side quests/dlc

[novel umbra]

wonderlands post game was unironically do the same thing 100 times

or have a friend who already did it carry you through the last time once

[narrow junco]

From that pov it was ok, def better than 3 (tho i havent played all 3 dlc)

[novel umbra]

3 dlc was fine

unironically some of the better content of the game

[narrow junco]

I do think that the dlc i played

[novel umbra]

(not a high bar ik)

[narrow junco]

Were noticeably better than main game

Of 3

I honestly wish randy would just take his greasy little fingers off the franchise

I think 3 and everything after would have been better without him

[novel umbra]

wonderlands was made basically without him

afaik he officially had no role in that

[narrow junco]

Maybe thats why i felt that it was less shit than 3

[novel umbra]

nah that game is just much worse imo

only thing that makes it better than 3 is no "talk to lilith" and no ava

[narrow junco]

Ignoring post game (which i dont really care about and dont play) i think that wonderlands was a more enjoyable experience

Dont get me wrong, i dont think its like the best game ever or anything

It‘s like maybe a 6 or a 7 for me

[novel umbra]

it's like a 4 at best for me

[hardy merlin]

32G RAM

[outer pollen]

The future is now

[small comet]

3080 recommended gpu

yeah sure

at least its 64bit only

[maiden tulip]

Your price is actually the same as everywhere else, you just have taxes included compared to us/canada

[hardy merlin]

It's 6:30, go back to sleep

[maiden tulip]

Ms games were 89.99cad too xD

And nintendo only had zelda for 89.99, in the switch 1 era

[maiden tulip]

But no super 17 or android 21

Insane

[little cape]

yup

i mean im even surprised theyre pushing content out

because the game died so quickly

i still want ss4 goku from daima

[cold anvil]

what game is this for?

[proper basin]

borderlands 4

[cold anvil]

FOR THAT BOOTY GAME!?!??!

[fringe salmon]

idk why people are surprised, minimum is a 2070, games that appeared around the same time in last console cycle had a 2070 as recommended, its shifted one level further

[cold anvil]

I’d be able to run it just fine I just think thats absurd, The Last of Us part 2 remastered minimum was a gtx 1650

[iron oak]

@grave granite Im struggling getting used to my new pad should I get Kovaaks?

like will the sens and kt stuff help wuith that

[fringe salmon]

you mean the game that was running on a ps4? yeah

[iron oak]

I do notice that I am tensing my arm alot when playing which is interesting

[cold anvil]

Thats a terrible argument for a game that’s optimized well

Also no its not the ps4 version its the ps5

Also I just realized your pfp is a dinosaur I always thought it was patrick star

[fringe salmon]

but the base game was made for the ps4 so its a lot simpler to just add some more things without having changes that would completely blow up the hardware needs

its not like they made the maps double the size or anything

yeah its rak from tower of god

and I wouldnt really call it an argument or related to optimization, if you have a higher base spec aka ps5 over ps4 its just very likely you want a higher feature level so min specs increase

if its a worthwhile tradeoff or runs like shit we wont know till launch

An update from the Marathon team: https://t.co/ECtDI3Ayuv

X · Jun 17, 2025, 5:49 PM

marathon delayed

expected/10 after playing the alpha

[cold anvil]

Theres still no way the minimum should be a 2070, even oblivion remake has a minimum on a gtx csrd. Stellar Blade is also the same

Like I understand if theres a requirement for raytracing since its more common to have raytracing to be forced on

But even then it should be a 2060 as the minimum

[fringe salmon]

thats just not something we can even argue about without seeing the game

[cold anvil]

You’re right

[fringe salmon]

without knowing what the game does theres no point saying it should be able to do that on lesser hardware

[cold anvil]

Wait isnt the game going on switch 2???

[fringe salmon]

but as a general timeframe of where we are at in the console lifecycle it makes sense that min specs are going up

[cold anvil]

No for sure I agree but that high????

[fringe salmon]

is it that high though?

this console gen is quite a big jump from last gen as baseline

[cold anvil]

We are at that point where devs are pushing the limits of the current gen console hardware but I still find it crazy the minimum is 2070. But like you said we wont know until the game comes out on how it runs and why the spec req is that way

[fringe salmon]

I mean the 2070 is 7 years old

[cold anvil]

I feel old

[bleak pike]

Shocker

[buoyant osprey]

2070 requirement doesn't seem crazy to me with it being an old midrange card

[small comet]

are the 1080 owners complaining again?

[bleak pike]

minimum

Could mean anything

1080p:30

[small comet]

i dont think itll suddenly turn into a 4090 for 720p

[bleak pike]

For example

[bleak pike]

It's a UE5 game so it needs a 5090 minimum

[vapid lintel]

I got my new graphics card just in time for a rimworld expansion

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-professor-old-jt-gif-1708377881870450486

[fringe salmon]

Older? No it’s a year less xD

Unless you think bl1 was peak

I mean they have 4 entries, 2 of them are considered great one okay and one didn’t do well. I think if bl4 does well that’s a pretty good record and not a resting on laurels thing

How do we know that when the games not out yet

[hardy merlin]

I love how when you look at BL3 Steam page and don't know franchise the game seems quite interesting and exciting
And then when you play it turns out it's so unbearably boring

[fringe salmon]

I mean if they basically say they agree with the community they messed up with BL3 idk what else you can hope for from a company to say before the next game

Doesn’t mean it will be perfect now but that’s about as good as you can get

Well we can’t judge the action when the game isn’t out yet lol

[hardy merlin]

I'm just gonna say that after release of latest RoR2 DLC release I don't have any hope for BL4...

[fringe salmon]

Wasn’t the issue there that they refused to hire unity devs when they took that over and it showed? Didn’t keep up with it

[hardy merlin]

Dunno, but for the simple fumbles they made, and so many of them, I don't really care for them anymore

[fringe salmon]

I mean I think it doesn’t show much besides whoever was in charge of decision making for that messed up not much more but ig that’s fair to have as a reason to not respect much, but I don’t see bl3/randy bad as a good reason to assume anything about 4

[hardy merlin]

Sure, it's not like you'll have any less fun if the game wasn't updated for years

[hardy merlin]

But of course
BL4 may be shit, but it also may be very good
But I don't care anymore about them, I won't buy it either way, they've disappointed me too many times

[fringe salmon]

Fair enough

[orchid prism]

To be expected. Silly of people to think anything else would happen.

[outer pollen]

I’m surprised they didn’t brick the entire console

[orchid prism]

Doing that would give consumers legal recourse.

[outer pollen]

I thought they were allowed to

[pure bear]

TOS does not law make

[outer pollen]

Instead of bricking the console Nintendo should dox the people so their fans can do the job for them

[proper basin]

Release the Pikmin

[pure bear]

a punishment worse than death

[outer pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/pikmin-pikmin-4-pikmin-throw-throw-attack-gif-3805718717911208180

[orchid prism]

They can legally block you from accessing online services (which is basically bricking the device lets be honest, too dependent on access to the mothership), but outright bricking the device would definitely be a cause for legal action as a consumer.

[orchid prism]

Though I suspect with gaming increasingly moving to the cloud, we're going to see some class action suits against bans at some point. Cause it's removing agency for consumers more and more.

[pure bear]

imagine 20000 of those setting on you

[pure bear]

you will own nothing and you will be happy

[orchid prism]

I will steal your console and your games too.

[little cape]

[radiant talon]

Nintendo jumped the gun too soon. They should've waited until the return window has closed. These banned consoles will get returned

[proper basin]

https://tenor.com/view/pikmin-waterwraith-pikmin-4-gif-13735830314249459944

[verbal nymph]

Oh yeah, unless they have a policy not allowed console to be returned with a specific error.

[pure bear]

you just return it to the retailer

in person and then scoot

[mellow garden]

Someone in the UK had already won a legal action against Activision due to a ban in a Call of Duty game during the early access period.

[pure bear]

ofc if you try to send it to nintendo directly that might not go so well

[hardy merlin]

12 days? I'm surprised it took that long

[small comet]

not really imo. unless you mainly play games that need NSO you arent really locked out of anything

[radiant talon]

You reset the console so it boots on the setup screen. No associate is going to set it up and see if its banned

[orchid prism]

How are you going to download your games and patches, without access to the servers, Tony? Until the consoles can be hacked of course.

[small comet]

this is the real devil

[pure bear]

most games arent even on the cart

[small comet]

youd play cartridge games

[pure bear]

yeah but most switch2 games arent on those

[small comet]

and in this case just wait till someone makes a mig switch for switch 2 games

[pure bear]

you'd lose a good chunk of the catalogue

[verbal nymph]

[pure bear]

https://tenor.com/view/scott-the-woz-help-scott-wozniak-pictochat-nintendo-ds-gif-26269014

[hardy merlin]

Not yet
Cracked console is needed first

[small comet]

a hacked console isnt what made the mig either. apparently some leaked key or such did

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, but you still need CFW to dump games in the first place

[small comet]

if youd have the key you can do the same as the mig did and build an external dumper

all in all im not too surprised though given the fact that console certificate bans have been happening on switch 1 and all 3ds consoles as well

[hardy merlin]

In Switch 1 case, sure, mostly
In Switch 2... eh... that'd be very limited only to games that are fully on cartridge, for key-carts, NSO and patches you'd still want CFW
And given it seems there will be less and less full games on carts...

[small comet]

cant play nso even with cfw

[hardy merlin]

NSO games as in bought online

[mellow garden]

How is it handled on PS4 and PS5? I know that every so often you need a firmware update to even connect to PSN for trophies etc but does that also limit access to the patch servers?

[small comet]

unless they changed it no. my cert banned switch 1 still updates normally

[hardy merlin]

I like how for PS4 emulation you can download firmware... straight from Sony

That's because you can replace and/or upgrade the primary boot drive.

Same for the PS3.

Now we get soldered e-waste with PS5

[orchid prism]

That's going to be a fun challenge for conservation.

[mellow garden]

I suppose less people will care about that simply due to the inevitable PC releases.

[hardy merlin]

I mean... https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5/system-software/

[small comet]

ye

nintendo and xbox are the prob worse ones for preservation

[orchid prism]

The replacement of the SSD. Not the software side of things.

[small comet]

oh

that you mean

[mellow garden]

It would be fine if you could force a PS5 to boot from an NVMe drive

Or less of a problem, at least

[small comet]

well a general modern day issue id say with nand chips being soldered direct being more and more common

[hardy merlin]

With Xbox nowadays is easy
They don't have exclusives, you can ditch them completely, just get PC version

[mellow garden]

Even with PlayStation, the games largely end up on PC.

[fringe salmon]

Xbox doesn’t have timed exclusives they have timed late releases

It works with switch 1 games and upgrades

https://www.reddit.com/r/switch2hacks/s/80tIlQS3lp

[small comet]

and gets your switch 2 banned from nintendo servers

[mellow garden]

Argos must have a slow email system. Signed up for a restock notification on the Switch 2 Pro Controller and it’s already out of stock exactly a minute after receiving the email.

[small comet]

all those bots just buying it

[orchid prism]

Was about to say. 😄

[bleak pike]

Argos are just slow in general

But yes bots

[maiden tulip]

Well they can keep doing it using the mig switch

The reason why they got banned

🤣

[orchid prism]

Oh you can inject updates and DLC into it? That's neat I guess.

[maiden tulip]

Ye from what i know

But people are silly for just putting it in their consoles and thinking its gonna be safe from a ban

[small comet]

yes there is XCI repackers.

actually most of those are pirated anyway i assume and not dumped legit so they prob downloaded pre packed updates/dlc already

[maiden tulip]

so its like every free to play game ever now

cool mat

[outer pollen]

I bought it before the tournament happened

[nimble current]

they can probably just brick those consoles remotely via their serial no

[orchid prism]

It's going to be interesting to see if they do, and where the consoles pop up. Might try to sell them quick before news spreads or public SNs are posted somewhere.

[maiden tulip]

@sinful cobalt

[small comet]

uh yes they know which serial no has which cert theoretically so they could just ban them from the nintendo online servers

[sinful cobalt]

Donkey kong odyssey

[small comet]

oh its dk not looking like dk banaza

[maiden tulip]

He's fine design wise

[small comet]

imo the old DK designs are much better

like to the point i wont buy bananza

[maiden tulip]

because of a character design?

[small comet]

the entire game design

it just doesnt scream DK to me

[maiden tulip]

I'm pretty sure that's a load of bull and you weren't gonna buy it at all

[maiden tulip]

Breath of the wild didn't scream zelda to me

[iron oak]

I’d like to point out I’m too poor to purchase a switch 2

I’m accepting Venmo donations to help facilitate this life style
/s

[maiden tulip]

Odyssey didn't scream mario to me

[small comet]

yes i didnt buy that either

[bleak pike]

Feels clutch man

[iron oak]

Did you buy any Nintendo games…?

[small comet]

uh yes

mario party

[maiden tulip]

Starting to doubt he did

[maiden tulip]

...

[grizzled quarry]

Did bro just turn into a bird wtf even is fortnite now

[iron oak]

Oh yeah name one party Mario threw

[small comet]

oh and super mario 3d all stars

[maiden tulip]

dude bought a switch for nothing then

gg

[small comet]

hm yes nothing

[grizzled quarry]

Mario kart

[pure bear]

"now"

[small comet]

i shall disregard animal crossing completely

[maiden tulip]

He said he doesn't like the design of the tracks

Or whatever

[grizzled quarry]

200cc on Mario kart was fun asf

[small comet]

no i dont like mario kart period

i never played mario kart much

[grizzled quarry]

Some tracks were kinda annoying but for the most psrt they were good

[small comet]

except double dash that one was fun

but in general im no mario kart man

[maiden tulip]

Dude literally buys a switch only for animal crossing

[mellow garden]

Mario Kart is fine in short bursts

[grizzled quarry]

Mario kart on the wii 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[mellow garden]

[small comet]

well and rune factory

[iron oak]

Do you play satisfactory? You seem like you play satisfactory

[maiden tulip]

only way to please tony is to only ever make remakes

[small comet]

no just make good games

[grizzled quarry]

I wanna play more of this

[small comet]

like a zelda that is well... zelda

[maiden tulip]

So you want the same shit released over and over again with no evolution

[small comet]

no?

[maiden tulip]

Mario odyssey is a great game so is breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom

Just because they're a bit different doesn't make them not mario and not zelda

[small comet]

well to me it does

[maiden tulip]

Tony behavior like yours is why companies cash in on rereleases and remaster

Refusal to try anything different

[small comet]

well you see i wanted to love the ff7 remake

but the whole retcon was a bit too much for me

[iron oak]

You like pokemon?

[small comet]

up till like hmmm sword and shield id say yeah

arceus was also good

[iron oak]

Arceus was really fun. I liked scarlet and violet or pretended it was fun. Then I saw this video on how SV played with better performance and I realized SV wasn’t that good

https://youtu.be/xqSossW7hts?si=2hlu5K-40CsqZ5iF

this video for reference

[small comet]

i personally didnt buy scarlett/violette or the diamond/pearl remakes as they both didnt feel nice to play

[iron oak]

I’m hoping newer pokemon games are better

[small comet]

i like to try different.... i dont like to play shits on how and for what i fell in love with a game/series

for zelda it wasnt even really a shits on thing just... i didnt vibe with the whole shrine thing

[pure bear]

doubt it

people reward their slop with tens of millions of copies sold

why should they care

[small comet]

well given how sv was made i am quite held back on even expecting good from pokemon zaza

but my gf will prob buy it anyway so i can just test play it there

[pure bear]

like the polygons and textures on that shit are vile

what is this

[pulsar prism]

Yeah why improve when people are willing to buy slop ever year

[pure bear]

this looks like gamecube

[iron oak]

It was actually atrocious looking back

Worst part is I paid for the fucking DLC like a chum

[small comet]

thats the sad part.... i really liked the lets go whatever it was

it looked nice and played nice

and it put a nice spin on gen1

[pure bear]

lets go looked nice

one of the core issues of modern pokemon is

they made it 3D but they never actually embraced 3D

the battle scene is still static as fuck with fixed cams that require odd scaling

[small comet]

yeah the pseudo 3d from the ds/3ds era worked well with fixed cam

[pure bear]

the npcs still move in gridlines/diagonals and such

so what is the point of goind 3d if you arent gonna use your freecam and scaleable models and shit?

just make isometric then and do an octopath traveler kinda style

[pulsar prism]

Not only so the games look terrible they also run horribly as well and are riddled with bugs

[iron oak]

That’s probably the best way to put how modern Pokemon is right now

[small comet]

unless you own the switch 2 ofc then they run passably

[iron oak]

When Pokemon went open world I really hoped I could ride my Pokemon like in pixelmon from wayyy back then

[pure bear]

https://undreamedpanic.itch.io/gamma-emerald

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPCyVE7MZrE

this has actual charm and its made by a bunch of volunteers that are gonna get sued

[small comet]

ngl i feel like palworld was a better 3d pokemon than well 3d pokemon

[maiden tulip]

palworld is a survival game

[iron oak]

Pal worlds battle mechanics were really cool. Then Pokemon sued them 😦

[maiden tulip]

Nothing in common besides creatures and balls

[pure bear]

Pokemon is 3d rendered but the underlying game mechanics are still grid/tilebased

[maiden tulip]

Literally saying palworld is a pokemon game is moronic

[pure bear]

theyve never left that legacy, which is per se not a problem either

it just makes no sense to forgo that then

[iron oak]

Palworld is a creature collector aswell

[maiden tulip]

@small comet logic: botw ≠ zelda but palworld = pokemon

[pure bear]

or, hire the people necessary and give them the time to make the game they want

[small comet]

i didnt say it was pokemon.... i said it was a better pokemon than nintendos 3d pokemon

[pure bear]

dashi logic: it's nintendo i must suck their balls

[small comet]

please read

[maiden tulip]

Its so focused on survival and building

Like

[small comet]

i mean i mainly caught the pals... in palspheres and did pal battles

[small comet]

i really dont know if thats an issue at nintendo/gamefreak tbh

the time part that is

[pure bear]

well they release em very fast

[maiden tulip]

Creature collecting fun but survival and building was so important and the core aspect of palworld

[pure bear]

and they dont have much staff

[maiden tulip]

Creature collecting felt very secondary

[pure bear]

and i mean... the product speaks for itself

[small comet]

do we know staff numbers from soemwhat recently?

[pure bear]

something aint mathing

[maiden tulip]

It's not sucking nintendo's dick to state that fact

If the game was less focused on base building maybe i'd have vibed more with it. I did give it a try tho

[iron oak]

The ideal Pokemon game would be similar to how the XYZ anime was. Where you travel the country and camp being rooted into the environment.

[maiden tulip]

And even bought 2 copies xD

The creature collecting felt very rudimentary

[iron oak]

The pal aspect of palworld although secondary was something I felt was an improvement on how pokemon battling could be.

[small comet]

cant speak on how extensive the base stuff was since my friends did that while i did the pal stuff

[maiden tulip]

There are some nice elements

[maiden tulip]

Nico kept pulling me away from the pals and asking me to help with the base and stop fucking around

[small comet]

either way the pal stuff in palworld felt more pokemon than any 3d pokemon i played

and id truly hope its not some "you need to play scarlet/violet for 10hrs before it gets good" thing

[maiden tulip]

ah yes beating creatures with sticks is very pokemon like

[small comet]

i mean

[iron oak]

It did happen in the name

[small comet]

id honestly dig if thats how you start a pokemon

[iron oak]

Anime***

[small comet]

instead of "heres your pokemon"

is there even a pokemon game were you dont get given your first mon

[small comet]

heck that would actually be smth i would wish more games explore... a story and game based on an existing game in the series but from the villains side

where you just lose at the end of the story

[iron oak]

Imagine being the grunt of team magma to get your ass kicked by some 12 year old

[small comet]

in this case id hope theyd pick like your rival whos the elite 4 champ or smth. that way youd get an equally long story but just from a different perspective

[iron oak]

Definitely make a interesting story when you aren’t the center of the attention/ world

[small comet]

oh or a game where youre just some npc who basically experiences what the protagonist and antagonist do

although that might actually be boring

smth i also loved was nier automata and the 3 POVs you play... the 2 protagonists each and then A2 at the end...

that was also smth i loved and would like to see more for duotagonist games

[iron oak]

Would make sense though not every trainer would defeat the elite four

[hot spire]

ps1 textures

[small comet]

reminds me that the bl4 videos i saw of gameplay werent too interesting yet either

just gave me bl2 -> bl3 vibes

but then again it was limited time play sessions afaik

[hot spire]

bl3 was so bad i have no faith

[small comet]

i just hope that the franchises i love and that get new entries that dont feel like they belong will steer back into a (for my opinion) better direction. i dont want it to be like AC where i just have to bow down to "this is how all games will be now"

although i also got used to the new AC games at this point

[hot spire]

i mean idk why they didnt keep anothny on for bl3

[small comet]

isnt that the guy who doesnt like talking about bl2

[hot spire]

him and ashly are hey ash whatcha playing

he wrote tiny tina for ashly to voice

[small comet]

ye i just remember one of the bl2 people involved was on some podcast(?) or interview or such and said they didnt wanna answer anything bl2

[hot spire]

the first game had amazing gameplay and ass story so they hiered him to make it not ass

he did a fucking amazing job, and they treated him like ass

[small comet]

bl2 was deffo my fav entry

followed by tps

[hot spire]

he wrote for pre sequel too

XD

[small comet]

i dont even get why people hate so much on tps

[hot spire]

then they didnt bring him back for 3, even though 3 rides so heavly on stuff he came up with

he also did a lot for gow and gowr

hes really good at it

him and his sister are super talented

[hot spire]

a system FAMOUS for its super shitty ram bandwidth AND small storage space, has better textures

[verbal nymph]

It also has 4mb of ram btw.

[hot spire]

it could have had 32mb and not been any better at rendering games

the speed of the ram was the issue

also somehow we have WORSE combat than pokemon stadium

[small comet]

reminds me i need to get an n64 flashcart

i aint paying premium to get those old pokeman stuff

[verbal nymph]

This shit is soo empty. I can understand if it's 2016/2017, not soo much in 2024/2025

[small comet]

one of the few gripes i have with the modern pokemon games is that npcs still just walk up and down

unless i missed smth there

[hot spire]

the n64s ram was slow latancy wise, was only 9 bit wide AND was shared

[small comet]

also modded GC yes or no (i got a wii with GC in it already)

[hot spire]

only good for using accessoirs that dont work with wii

[small comet]

actually nvm i just realized the GC has gamecube player

[nimble current]

is that on a switch 2?

[hot spire]

wiiu/wii are easy to perm softmod, and do tons of shit

[small comet]

ye both of mine are modded

[hot spire]

gameboy player?

[nimble current]

looks pretty decent for a 2007 game

[small comet]

yes yes... my brain was stuck on gamecube

[verbal nymph]

I would assume it is, it'll be sad if switch 2 specific version just give you 60fps 1080p.

[proper basin]

it is a modern pokemon game indeed

[nimble current]

man

that's embarassing

[proper basin]

this is why pikmin is better

their favourite passtime seems to be in court against smaller developers and customers rather than make good games now

[proper basin]

if its pokemon, they dont really have to try hard to sell well

[orchid prism]

They can improve the FPS, but they can never put those godawful "not a motorbike or a jet fighter plane" mons back into the box.

[hot spire]

then do it on a handheld

This is soo sad.

jfc I feel old now. Thanks Toneh.

im in the process of selling my analogue pocket.... way too expensive for that

same dw

i thought it was newer

[hot spire]

you know what a gameboy player cost these day?

[small comet]

nothing cause my parents have one with disc

[hot spire]

a working gc+player+disk is worth more than a pocket XD

[small comet]

well again i have a free gameboy player and disc

my little brother just wants to keep the gamecube

[proper basin]

eat the gamecube

[hot spire]

also pocket isnt that expensive

[small comet]

and 150 bucks sounds a ton cheaper than 500eur or whatever the pocket cost me

[hot spire]

its permium for sure, but it isnt a ton

500??!

[small comet]

they wanted almost 100 bucks shipping and import was basically the price of the pocket itself

[proper basin]

holy moly

thats robbery

[hot spire]

mine was 200~ with free shipping ouch

[small comet]

i wish i would have at least gotten free shipping

the shipping provider sucked as well... the only update i got was "we are delivering it tomorrow" after weeks of silence

apparently resell value isnt too bad either

if the pocket would have been just 200 bucks id prob get a dock and just use it but yeah makes no real sense for me to keep

[hot spire]

yeah the dock is steep to me

not the handheld

220 for the handheld isnt terrible, 100 for the dock is hard

[small comet]

40bucks shipping to get the dock

black one is only 99bucks

but still

then import is another 20% or so so 120bucks for the dock

never mind whatever handling fee they will pull out their butt

id guesstimate id pay close to 200bucks

[hot spire]

with the import and shipping you could almost fly to us

XD

[small comet]

sadly not... i wish

i mean if i didnt get my pocket yet yes

then definitely

Game publishers be like: release ports of games that are years old
why are they not selling

https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/it-was-the-biggest-console-launch

The only new third party game is welp fast rmx and that's a digital indie game

Kinda hard to justify buying a game you already own again unless it's discounted or unless you're like the biggest fan of said game

• all third party games except 2077 being on game key cards probably doesn't help

Especially if most people filled up their storage by well loading up all their switch 1 library on the console

I was interested in hitman be ause i love that game and the gameplay style woulda worked well on the go and i own it on epic on pc so loading it on the steam deck is a pita but then i realized that they want me to buy the fucking dlc separately and that they still have the same online restrictions as the pc version when this is a PORTABLE console

FINALLY MY CHRISTMAS WISH CAME TRUE A HIPPOPOTAMUS FOR CHRISTMAS

[small comet]

the real bummer is i could only get 256 msd express

no 512 or 1tb

[maiden tulip]

They exist but they're hard to find

[small comet]

no as in they literally were all sold out online

they are now back in stock

but still

[maiden tulip]

Only like 2 stores sell them in canada and they're only available for physical pick up not online orders

[small comet]

only 2 more "professional" retailers have them online here

[maiden tulip]

I just bought a 256gb and was like guess i'll buy a 1tb down thenline when they're cheaper

[small comet]

ones a camera equipment store and ones a general business it store

[maiden tulip]

The official 256gb wasn't too bad price wise

[small comet]

and i couldnt bring my entire library from before which was slightly more than 600gb

[maiden tulip]

• best buy had a coupon

[maiden tulip]

Same, my library is around 700gb

I don't need like all of it downloaded at once tho and the switch 2 has good wifi

[small comet]

that is true

[maiden tulip]

So redownloading isn't too bad if i really wanted to play somethig

[small comet]

downloading is so much faster than on the og

[maiden tulip]

Switch 1 was so fucking slow

Its why i kept everything installed at the same time

I could barely get 30-45mbps out of it

[small comet]

i currently sit at roughly 220gb or so installed

[maiden tulip]

Switch 2 i can get 350mbps over wifi no problem

I'll just stick with my 256gb sd express till the 1tbs get like

Affordable

[small comet]

same

although seeing the prices on 512gb makes me worry about 1tb

[maiden tulip]

I did see a 512 in stock for online purchases but if i buy one i might as well buy the storage i need

[small comet]

this ones sold out again for another month

and this is just no

[maiden tulip]

Only 512 i saw here was lexar

[small comet]

found the lexar in the other store now

still ridiculous prices imo

[maiden tulip]

Agreed

Its why i'll just wait till they get cheaper

And just download what i play as i go realistically 500gb is plenty

[proper basin]

best deal i can get is the walmart branded 512

[maiden tulip]

256 internal + 256gb official sd i got with the coupon

[maiden tulip]

walmart?

[proper basin]

yeah the onn one

[maiden tulip]

Oh yeah

ok i remember now

they dont sell it here

[small comet]

walmart makes sd express store brand?

the fudge

[maiden tulip]

I know PNY makes a 512gb but i havent seen it anywhere

[proper basin]

they make a lot of stuff now, everything onn is theirs

monitors even

[small comet]

why is it so cheap and why does it feel like itll break in a few months

[maiden tulip]

Its probably just rebranded tho

Googled it

[vapid lintel]

Walmart has over 10,000 stores

[maiden tulip]

They're rebranded PNY cards

[small comet]

but pny themselves seems to have sane prices

weird they can sell a 512gb sd express for half of the competition

including what id estimate the pny one would cost

[proper basin]

they got more tha enough money to do that

[solemn grove]

Calm down

Is it weird if i took my switch to the gym

[maiden tulip]

The fuck you doing with it

[solemn grove]

How much is it? I just bought the onn brand from walmart, $70 usd tax included for 512 gbs

[maiden tulip]

Using it on the treadmill? Lol

[solemn grove]

Its the only way to do cardio without getting bored within 5 minutes

I have a big issue with cardio

[maiden tulip]

Wont your joycons get sweaty?

[solemn grove]

Oh yeah thats the one i bought!

[small comet]

the pny one will prob be 100-120usd

[solemn grove]

So regular price then

[solemn grove]

Damn youre kinda right it might not work then

[small comet]

hence i wasnt sure how walmart sells their rebranded pny for 70 bucks

aka prob like half the price

[solemn grove]

Idk either but i barely managed to get 1

They been outta stock but i somehow caught the last 1 for sale

[maiden tulip]

Maybe bring cheap third party joycons

[solemn grove]

Fuck bruh i thought i really conquered cardio

[outer pollen]

At minimum I need 1tb of storage

[solemn grove]

I mean i could always clean them after but i wonder if the alcohol would affect the joycons long term

[solemn grove]

Damn for what my 512 and 256 is more than enough ngl

And most of my games are physical carts anyway

[maiden tulip]

they have a matte finish already so probably fine?

If it was glossy i'd say nah

But they're matte

[solemn grove]

So im chillin or what

[maiden tulip]

Your games are all physical tho

[solemn grove]

I was gonna get the 1tb for $200+ but it was out of stock, and 512 gb for $70 tax included is just too good

[outer pollen]

But I like lots of storage

[solemn grove]

And more than half my games are physical anyway

[outer pollen]

Just do cardio at home @solemn grove with the Ringfit

[small comet]

where did you find a 1tb one

[outer pollen]

Ringfit went so fucking hard

[solemn grove]

The lexar one but out of stock obv

[outer pollen]

Wait

[solemn grove]

wtf is that

[outer pollen]

Ain’t no way

https://youtu.be/kdThIK1TC8g?

Wait maybe I should get the switch 2 for fitness boxing

[solemn grove]

Wait thats a game?? I used to play a boxing game on my oculus quest and it was such a good workout

Hold on i might have to buy this

[outer pollen]

I’d use the Ringfit after working out at the gym personally

[solemn grove]

This kinda goofy tho

What would i use for the boxing game tho

[outer pollen]

Just a game I’ve always wanted to get myself lol

[solemn grove]

I need to see someone actually play it

[outer pollen]

Which one Ringfit or fitness boxing they’re different things

[solemn grove]

Do you need the goofy ringfit for it

[solemn grove]

Fitness boxing

[outer pollen]

Fitness boxing just needs the joycons as far as I know

[solemn grove]

Bet ima see some gameplay then it might be worth

[outer pollen]

There’s like 5 different fitness boxing btw

[solemn grove]

So if its already a thing then im sure sweat isnt an issue long term as long as you clean it

No way they got fist of the north star too

Yeah im buying this shit

[little cape]

https://tenor.com/view/dio-the-world-power-charge-gif-7228945120027401562

[outer pollen]

It’s on sale right now on Amazon

[solemn grove]

Kenshiro the goat

[solemn grove]

Physical too??

Hold on

[outer pollen]

Oh wait Walmart

[solemn grove]

Oh yeah $35 on walmart and amazon

Ima look up some gameplay if its decent then easy buy

[small comet]

i couldnt even find it listed anywhere. their 512gb is already 200eur

[solemn grove]

https://www.gamestop.com/gaming-accessories/memory/nintendo-switch-2/products/gamestop-express-micro-sd-card-for-nintendo-switch-2-1tb/20008707-7005d463.html

Tbh the walmart onn brand deal is disgusting no one is beating it

But yeah lexar has 1 tb, gamestop also has 1tb but goodluck catching it in stock

[proper basin]

190 usd is crazy

[solemn grove]

Yeah but its even cheaper than lexar

The only good deal is onn, it makes all other prices look like a scam

[proper basin]

indeed

[small comet]

honestly makes me feel like onn is a scam

[proper basin]

i mean we dont know its durability that is true

[solemn grove]

Theyre all the same shit just rebranded lmaoo

Only like 3-4 companies make the express cards

Like the gamestop branded one isnt actually made by gamestop and the onn brand isnt actually onn either

And didnt nintendo use micro sd cards instead of an ssd because of durability? It’ll be chillin

https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/06/gog-now-ask-for-donations-when-you-buy-games/

Ah yes tipping when buying videogames

they can fuck off with that tbh

[mellow garden]

Enough to make me not use the platform

Aren't they on 88/12 split like every other platform that isn't Steam?

Maybe that needs to change.

[small comet]

they arent even at 1% profitability

i also dont really see how its bad to just ask for donations with a quite small box at checkout

if it was like wikipedia where its a top page banner everwhere lying to me then sure

[mellow garden]

Wikipedia is at least free

Now if GOG gave me all their games with the option to donate...

[small comet]

doesnt give wikipedia the right to act like they are poor... they have quite the amount of fund, they get quite an amount of donations and yet everytime they act as if i dont donate wikipedia might die

[pastel bolt]

optional donations are like the least predatory way to get extra funding, dont see anything wrong with what GOG's doing

[bleak pike]

Tbh I don't see an issue with it either

[vapid lintel]

Wikipedia has made hundreds of millions on their bitcoin holdings... 😛

[solemn grove]

I got it

[solemn grove]

Yeah you defo tip at those small takeaway cafes where they always turn that white tablet towards you asking for 40% tip with no option for 0%

[small comet]

you see

thats not a thing here

tips here are based on if i actually think you provided me with good service

[solemn grove]

Must be nice

[small comet]

i dont understand how tipping even is this normalized in the US as a way to pay workers basically
