[cold anvil]

wukong

this is only possible on ps5 models before mid 2022 that haven't gotten any firmware updates at all

idrc about ps5 modding tbh

switch 2 modding is going to be fucking amazing

it's gonna be the 3DS modding scene all over again

[manic owl]

it is truly crazy what it can do with a bit of tinkering

[cold anvil]

I loved my modded 3ds, Ik I probably said this like 50 times but Im still upset it combusted one day. I was like the one person who actually played games on their modded 3ds too

I would bring it with me to high school since it's so easy to carry around

and the teachers would let me play on it whenever I got school work done

[manic owl]

mine had a codec issue , still got my og 3ds that works flawlessly

suprisingly it stopped the random inputs

[hardy merlin]

But I can't pay with my Steam wallet on GMG

[vital wren]

Talking about steam wallet, is it possible to pay the controller with it?

I would assume yes, but I wanna be sure

[hardy merlin]

Eyup, I sold my CS skins to pay for it
Same with Deck

[vital wren]

I hope I am able to get myself one

[hardy merlin]

Now there's reservation system in place, so you will

[vital wren]

If it works out
It starts at 7 pm for me if I am not mistaken

Finally will have a reason to play HK and silksong

Was kind of annoying playing with keeb

[sinful cobalt]

in the next few weeks

[vital wren]

I am fine with waiting on it

[hardy merlin]

I wonder what's the "game console" import they got is
At this point it may be Machine, Frame and may be Deck restock

[fringe salmon]

more likely the controller no?

[vital wren]

But I would appreciate it if my monitor would arrive soon when I order it again

[fringe salmon]

or was the controller shipment listed separately

[hardy merlin]

Controller was listed as "Wireless PC controller"
These ones are listed as "Game console"

[vital wren]

It doesn't matter to much, but I would assume the steam controller is usable outside of steam too?

[hardy merlin]

On Linux yes, on Windows no

[vital wren]

Fuck windows

[fringe salmon]

nah thats on steam not on windows

they should've added xinput fallback or something like that

[vital wren]

Oh I see

Anyway fuck windows and steam

[hardy merlin]

I mean Linux can handle it because of kernel drivers which expose it as DInput or Xinput with xpad
But yeah, they could make Windows driver as well, be it with translation to Xinput or Dinput

[trim rock]

And I remembered a couple days ago that Global Steam Controller was a thing waay back in the day for the OG roller, and now it has evolved to https://github.com/Alia5/SISR
I'm sure within time it'll be quite usable, and of course other such projects might exist

[fading spade]

The Steam controller has managed to unite Xbox, Sony and Nintendo fans into all coming together to hate on the steam controller

[vital wren]

Why?

[mellow garden]

They're just jealous we get to rub our pads while gaming

Only PC gamers can locate the...

[fringe salmon]

the chort?

[mellow garden]

Chort

[fading spade]

Nintendo fans are shitting on pc gamers who said the 99 dollar joycons are overpriced and how the same PC gamers are buying the 99 dollar steam controller even though its the same price of the joycon

Sony fans are saying its worse than their Edge...is that the name?...pro controller even though that controller is like 200 dollars

Xbox fans think its like a regular controller with no touchpads or gyro or back buttons just like the xbox ones are and are saying its overpriced due to lack of features

[mellow garden]

But where is the clyteum located?

[fading spade]

they are jealous of the steam controller's chongle

[fringe salmon]

https://x.com/rora_VT/status/2052261723076497861

RORA | MOON JELLYFISH VTUBER 🌙🪼 (@rora_VT)

How chort from ffxiv probably feels with all the attention rn

X · May 7, 2026, 5:38 AM

[nimble current]

99 dollar joycons are overpriced if its shitty pot sticks that will wear out and start drifting with use

[fading spade]

typical xbox fanboys

[fringe salmon]

some random people not liking something doesnt mean theres some united hate front

[hardy merlin]

Open hate website
Look inside
Hate

[nimble current]

also fanboys aren't known to be fully developed up there

like unironically simping for billionaire corpo product in these times makes you a bit speshul

[vital wren]

Ah I see, I don't care
Imma gonna order it and enjoy it

[small comet]

so all those people jumping and praising the steamcontroller are speshul?

[fringe salmon]

also the "hateful xbox fanboy" in questions seems to be someone who just likes xbox and has the opinion of if you enjoy a thing ignore the weirdos that have an issue with it?

this seems very much like a made up issue because he just said its a tad expensive in his opinion

[small comet]

i can get behind that opinion

[nimble current]

I mean, if they see it as some kind of weird parasocial token of faith and trust in their favourite corporation then yeah a bit

[fringe salmon]

scrolling down further, is this now an xbox fanboy liking ps5 games? is this legal?

[nimble current]

there's fanboys and there's people who just thinks the controller looks neat and wants to have one

[hardy merlin]

Steam controller is superior because it has correct stick layout, unlike most controllers on the market

[nimble current]

xbox being so dead the fantards are branching out

[vital wren]

That I can agree with

[fringe salmon]

I think its just someone who enjoys gaming and says things at times, not even a blue check to farm engagement

[nimble current]

personally I find most controllers terrible but at least the steam one looks adequately sized for larger hands

and they avoided planned obsolescense crap like sticks that'll wear and drift

[vapid lintel]

Steam Controller is the only one I've ever used that has a proper mouse implementation and isn't cantankerous to type with

I don't hate controllers, I hate how bad most controllers are at anything other than button mashing, auto targetting, aim assisting handholding gameplay >_>

[hardy merlin]

Gyro aiming

[fervent shell]

[hasty belfry]

I tried gyro aiming in BOTW, didn't like it that much but I only tried to get used to it for like 20 minutes.

[nimble current]

yeah gyro is more of a bandaid fix for a fundamentally flawed aiming control to me

[unique bane]

can u use steam controller on PS/Xbox?

[nimble current]

its still a bit ass

[trim rock]

On those things the controller will just be stuck in lizard mode, so as a mouse and very limited keyboard

[vital wren]

I am pretty sure you can't

[hardy merlin]

I played a bit of TF2 on flick stick+gyro, it was really cool

[unique bane]

ughh then idk why would I want steam controller hmm

[vital wren]

For steam games

[unique bane]

like?

[vital wren]

Like every game you have on steam?

[hasty belfry]

I bought it I might use it as a mouse in bed or in the couch, we'll see. It will replace my Xbox Controller on my PC at least and the Xbox one can go back in the box.

[fading spade]

Can use the steam controller on games that don't natively support controllers

Especially if you use the touchpads as a mouse
Can play rts games that way once you map the controller to keyboard and mouse inputs

[unique bane]

what about Path of exile?

[fading spade]

Yep

[unique bane]

Or idk some VR games?

[fading spade]

Yep
The controller has an IR light on it so it's trackable by the steam frame vr headset

[unique bane]

meta quest 3 ?

[fading spade]

Idk xd

I don't have anything from meta

[hardy merlin]

Since when Meta Quest is compatible with anything
There's a reason it's cheap

[fading spade]

True xdd

Well not so cheap here

[unique bane]

AI says its usable somewhat

Hmm might get it ig

[fading spade]

Maybe lizard mode ?

Where it acts as a mouse and keyboard

[hardy merlin]

Valve invests in their own ecosystem and their PCs, so it makes sense to make their stuff compatible with those
They won't really care about supporting other consoles or VR sets, but they won't mind if some community project will make it work with these

[fringe salmon]

tbf if they can they should make it work with quest or other headsets

vr needs more than just a bit of a push with a new headset

[fading spade]

Maybe the steam frame controller would work?

Afaik those are regular Bluetooth to the headset unlike the controller

[trim rock]

Controller also can work with normal ol' Bluetooth

[fading spade]

Yeh true

[trim rock]

And if it's anything like the OG controller, that'll just again be in lizard mode if you do it with your phone or I imagine VR headset running Android

Unless you use the Steam Link app!

[fringe salmon]

frame controllers dont need to work those are just like normal quest controllers

but if there is use for a controller like the steam controller in vr they should push that more

[hardy merlin]

I kinda feel like Frame is more of a push towards Steam on ARM than in VR
Playing Steam games on phone, locally? That'd be something quite big

[trim rock]

https://gamenative.app/

[fringe salmon]

steam on arm will happen if SD2 ends up using qualcomm instead of an amd chip

dont need something extra complicated with spatial gaming for that

[trim rock]

People will probably easily find the download links once the Frame is available

you can easily carry 100

and who would carry 300 heavy for a wingman 3 stacks of heavy was already overkill

Oblivion is my 2nd most played game now but it's getting worse and worse, after around 40h I started getting random crashes and now it happens quite often.

[hasty belfry]

Kinda sad, I have only dark brotherhood left so I'll suffer through the crashes until it's over

A lot of older Bethesda games rely on mods to purge savegames from various things.

Fun Fact:

Nintendo released the Game Boy Advance in the US in June 2001 for $99.

In January 2002, seven months later, Nintendo announced it would lower the price of the Game Boy Advance to $79 as a result of production efficiencies and to spur mass market adoption.

this isnt some super long out of stock thing forever

[fast iron]

saw an S15 one i might cop ngl

[cyan pewter]

s15s are one of the cars i wish i could own but its not so easy or cheap in the states to get one

[fast iron]

its $35 on amazon right now

[cyan pewter]

from who?

usually the models are around $20

[fast iron]

from the one you told me, inno

[cyan pewter]

unless its uhh inno64

ah that makes sense

[bleak pike]

True

[fast iron]

tbf idm, it does look pretty. ice

[bleak pike]

@lone oasis you gonna scalp?

[cyan pewter]

yeah thats about right, my lbwk f40 was closer to $40
but my secret mk4 supra was closer to $20

[fast iron]

i did see that one but my pc is mostly black and white

[cyan pewter]

it just depends

[fast iron]

so the silver s15 would look better

[cyan pewter]

i wanna get the gt3 cars that minigt recently released

rexy and roxy 992 gt3r
m4 gt3

[fast iron]

like G82 M4?

[cyan pewter]

amazon only has roxy

[cyan pewter]

[fast iron]

i really would love a silver e90 m3

[cyan pewter]

minigt might have one but im not sure

[outer pollen]

reserved it c:

[vapid lintel]

Fingers crossed

[cyan pewter]

youre telling me i missed the senna f1

green veilside rx7 is kinda sus

[fast iron]

that is so nice

[fast iron]

the huracan and the 919 look really good

[cyan pewter]

yeah theyre not bad

[cyan pewter]

i wanna get my hands on the new lbwk aventador but i dont think thats sold worldwide yet

[fast iron]

which aventador, like the newer svj?

[lone oasis]

Scalp what?

[cyan pewter]

i think its just the normal aventador

[fast iron]

thats actually sick

idk if i like the carbon hood

[cyan pewter]

im a huge aventador fan and yet i dont have any models of one

[bleak pike]

Steam controllers

[cyan pewter]

the lambo v12s of the aventador generation are some of the best sounding imo

[lone oasis]

I only ordered 6 of them

[cyan pewter]

and specifically also the v12 in the 812sf

[fast iron]

most def

i prefer the 2012-2014 aventadors over the svjs

[cyan pewter]

launch control is also so aggressive sounding

[fast iron]

for sure

the aventador is the only supercar ive ever sat in, and it really is something

[cyan pewter]

ive sat in a murci when i was a kid
it was just in some random 1 car garage on my way home from school

[fast iron]

murci sv 🙏 🙏

[cyan pewter]

back to s15 for a second

[bleak pike]

So yes

[crystal plinth]

Congrats Mark 🙂

[cyan pewter]

and a lil bit of italian

[fast iron]

the stock one is beautiful

LaFerrari is insane

have you ever seen a P1 in person? pictures dont do them justice

[bleak pike]

Cars literally do nothing for me.

[crystal plinth]

I woke up after nap and wanted to check here if you got one

[lone oasis]

Nah, I didn't realise they were coming g today

[crystal plinth]

Also to check if mine had shipped yet but no 🙁

[cyan pewter]

i shouldve went to the ny auto show

[bleak pike]

They came out the other day

[lone oasis]

But i do have the previous one and soon I'll connect my TV in the living room to my pc, so might have to get one

[bleak pike]

Today is just reservation

Because they went out of stock

[lone oasis]

Ahh, then definitely not for scalping 😂
You want to buy some pokemoney?

[fast iron]

i think the craziest thing ive seen in person was a 24/30 huayra bc

signed by horacio too on the hood

[lone oasis]

I came across this in the parking lot today, this is extremely rare in the netherlands

[cyan pewter]

the laferrari is definitely the peak of what i saw outside of a car show

[fast iron]

beautiful impala

[cyan pewter]

22b

[fast iron]

so nice

my first car was a legacy wagon, the tails remind me of those years of subaru

[cyan pewter]

this was the day i landed in japan

walked out of the trainstation on the way to the hotel

[fast iron]

reminds me of this legacy wagon i saw after a hike

[cyan pewter]

i have a bunch of posters from my visit to the lbwk store i still havent found a frame to put it up yet

i also kept the bags because they look nice

[fast iron]

i would too ngl

[cyan pewter]

the designs are cool

[fast iron]

i like the red one

[cyan pewter]

its different on the other side

so its kind alike a 2 for 1 deal

[fast iron]

thats sick

[cyan pewter]

some of the nicest people ive met

[fast iron]

how long were you there for?

[cyan pewter]

only a week and i went to 2 lbwk stores in osaka

[cyan pewter]

the 2nd one i went to in osaka was a 20 minute walk downhill away from the nearest train station and they gave me a ride back to the train station afterwards which wouldve been 20 minutes uphill

when i was visiting it was like 30-40 degrees (-1c-4c)

[young hill]

this car has aimbot

[young hill]

what do you mean

it is not like it drives into crowds of people

[cyan pewter]

mustangs are known for spinning out leaving meets which is 100% a skill issue

[young hill]

correct me if i am wrong there is switch

for traction control

so it seems like a choice

This trailer hits hard lol

[cold anvil]

OH BOY!

RE9 spoilers, new gamemode seems interesting

[cold anvil]

ok what the fuck is wrong with the vram usage, I'm on all normal settings with no raytracing and dlss on quality 😭

[young hill]

Looks like a gpu heavy game

[young hill]

How much vram you got?

Oh

Never mind yeah...https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1relo65/resident_evil_requiem_often_uses_8gb_of_vram_at/

[cold anvil]

The issue is that this wasn’t happening before lol

[stiff fiber]

Well apparently things look bad for marathon

I wonder if the game will close

[cold anvil]

Whats up with marathon?

[stiff fiber]

But oh well I already had 100 hours of fun for 40 euros

[stiff fiber]

The player base is not a lot and sony reported they lost like 600 millions with bungie

Honestly bungie is at risk

[cold anvil]

Honestly if you reach that dollar per hour threshold you’re good enough. You got your money’s worth

[stiff fiber]

Yeah I guess so now I kinda like the game just wish it could last for some years

But anyway I will play something else

As you said I already had my money back I guess

[cold anvil]

I think marathon released at a bad time, the negativity towards that other game that I forgot the name of most definitely carried over to Marathon

Obviously not as impactful but still damaging nonetheless

[stiff fiber]

Highguard

[cold anvil]

Yes that game

[stiff fiber]

Yeah live service game are hard for editors

I feel either it is a huge success or it disappear

Except hunt and tarkov

No crazy success like fortnite

But still games that last years

[compact oriole]

shoutout to the finals

[stiff fiber]

Oh true

[cold anvil]

That kind of success is only replicated once a decade lmao

Before Fortnite it was Minecraft

[compact oriole]

ye almost nothing was as big as fn and minecraft

roblox

[stiff fiber]

Issue is how much you invest and you get in return. Sony invested more that 200 millions for marathon and currently peak daily there are 15k players

[cold anvil]

Very underrated in the live service space

[stiff fiber]

Issue with finals is you cannot play solo

Otherwise I would play it

Even if I prefer extract shooter

[compact oriole]

it has more modes now. like tdm or rush from battlefield

[cold anvil]

Thats more of a modern studio problem tbh

[stiff fiber]

You can play solo?

[cold anvil]

Just do fills

[compact oriole]

no

[stiff fiber]

Well I dont like playing with strangers tbh

[compact oriole]

time to socialize

apart from br and extract what other games have solo modes..

[sinful cobalt]

Finals is a fun game indeed

[cold anvil]

I don’t think of heard of like evil despicable people on The Finals

Everyone is either mute or chill

[stiff fiber]

I am always afraid in these games I will be insulted for not being good

[compact oriole]

bro its just a rando being mad

[cold anvil]

One thing I hate about randoms though is when they get too comfortable and send a friend request

[compact oriole]

lol

[sinful cobalt]

i mean thats kinda rare, sure it happens but it happens more in CS/Val

[stiff fiber]

Dont laugh but I did it on marathon I was playing solo usually the game is shoot on sight I talked with another guy and we decided to go somewhere where there is good loot. Going there another guy start to shoot at us we talk to him he join us. And finally a fourth guy joined. Almost all the lobby was there. Turned around we all exfill with some good loot and I asked them for being friend. None of them accepted 😭

[young hill]

maybe you accidentally flipped a setting forward or game got update to be a tad bit more demanding🤷‍♂️

[cold anvil]

THE BIG EVIL SETTING THAT MAKES MY GAME RUN LIKE SHITTT

[cyan pewter]

almost no one talks in the finals

[stiff fiber]

I will have to try it then

[cyan pewter]

you just do your own thing and if your teammate goes down just walk over and revive them

[stiff fiber]

But is it a BR?

[cyan pewter]

no

theres a 3v3v3, 3v3v3v3, 5v5, and maybe other modes

[cyan pewter]

its just an arena shooter where you have to cash out a box, your loadouts are determined by what you choose in the menu or can be changed in game

[stiff fiber]

Oh ok

Not sure I would really like it but I can try

[cyan pewter]

theres 3 class. all with different guns and equipments

[stiff fiber]

Oh I see

Embarks did this game

[cyan pewter]

the more games you play, the more credits you get to unlock other stuff

[stiff fiber]

You like it?

[cyan pewter]

i play from time to time

[sinful cobalt]

i just wish the game isn't 80GB

[cyan pewter]

still have just under 100 hours in it but i think its good

though the balancing between some weapons is questionable

but thats just the nature of having such a variety of weapons

[stiff fiber]

Yeah

I stopped playing arc recently

Will come back end of the year

[cyan pewter]

heres a clip from a while ago
https://medal.tv/games/the-finals/clips/kxUxz9F8A5wvOni16?invite=cr-MSx2ZGUsMzM3MTkzMzA&v=134

its a bit loud

[sinful cobalt]

i need to learn and use medal or some sort of clipping software

[cyan pewter]

just have it auto record your sessions

[young hill]

this mode is actually good for once

just came out this month

[stiff fiber]

The game seems very nervous

[cyan pewter]

yeah its kinda fast paced if you run in and just try to solo everyone tho there are quite a few ranged weapons

defintely a lot of pressure to keep the cashout in your control tho

[stiff fiber]

I can imagine

I have to try it it is just that I need to download it

Now tbh apart from extract shooter I am not really into fps

[sinful cobalt]

so i just do that?

[stiff fiber]

I cant wait for fragmentary order the new game of the tarkov creator

[cyan pewter]

i dont even remember what i was called

just launch some game and see if it auto records

oh wait its right there

[cyan pewter]

might be a bit hard to get into then but at least its free

[stiff fiber]

Yeah

I am not used to such fast paced games

[cyan pewter]

for sure

the main skill you need is tracking tbf

tho you can get away with just running explosive weapons

[stiff fiber]

I know what will cure my addiction and calm my nerves

[cyan pewter]

ah yes i should mention that pretty much everything is distructable

[stiff fiber]

What are the soldier you revive or invoked or something?

[cyan pewter]

these?

[stiff fiber]

Yeah

[cyan pewter]

theyre teammates and have a marker above them

[stiff fiber]

Oh

[cyan pewter]

you can see the enemies too

but they wont have the marker obviously

just the color of the enemy team

[stiff fiber]

Yeah

I will try it but 80go I will probably have finished downloaded it by monday

I have to get internet with fiber

[cyan pewter]

like this one
orange team's dead teammate

[sinful cobalt]

imagine

[onyx wadi]

I found peak gameplay

Granted it's a fanmod, not actual vanilla gameplay but still

You also cannot criticize the gameplay if you can't tell what is happening to criticize.

feel like they've been making strong implications lately about getting a 1.0 release candidate out within a not too distant future though and that's concerning

Holy heck, Dead as Disco is freaking amazing
Especially when it "clicks" and you style on enemies to the rhythm without thinking about it, it's great

This is my this week's obsession and I will cream about it

[fading spade]

OwO

[mellow garden]

Never goon

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/wlcxwzeCqUU

[maiden tulip]

It looks fun but are there accessibilty options

In the full game

[hardy merlin]

Hum? As in?

[hardy merlin]

It does have beat indicator if you mean that

Also I just kicked K-pop princess ass

[fervent shell]

good job calsy

[young hill]

denied the london greeting dere a few times

[maiden tulip]

Yes and like can i make the game a bit more forgiving with inputs

I was able to play hi fi rush after tweaking the accessibility options a bit but im just worried that this game may not have any and that im stuck with a game i cant enjoy

😬

[red bronze]

i've never seen that villain before, what's his name?

[maiden tulip]

I have some small issues with my nervous system and getting timing right on things is really really difficult for me it's why i avoid rythm games unless they have accessibility features @hardy merlin

[young hill]

Legion London meme outfit

[hardy merlin]

It plays quite a bit different than Hi-Fi Rush
Counter window is huge, like a second at least, dodge is a bit smaller, but still big, but overall game is very forgiving about that, it's more about jamming to the beat than being strict to it
You can try demo, it's like a half of first chapter and endless mode, plus it's the same version as full game now

[maiden tulip]

Guess i'll give that a shot

[red bronze]

i see thx

[hardy merlin]

Ayyy

Is this like those people who would like up for a PS4 then trash it in front of people

[fading spade]

All the comments seem to think that this is a scalper who got fucked over by Valves new qeueing process and therefor cant resell it as expensive as they wanted

[vapid lintel]

It's rage bait and engaging with it in any capacity feeds it, so don't

[hardy merlin]

Okay, it may be both Machines and Frames

[fringe salmon]

what makes you think its both

[hardy merlin]

a lot

[fringe salmon]

maybe its just the frame and no machine

[hardy merlin]

nooo, i wan gabecube

[fringe salmon]

since originally the plan was to launch the frame first

[hardy merlin]

That would make sense because of better parts availability, and that Controller firmware got update ironing bugs with Frame, and mobile app has now also login to Frame option, and Steam Big Picture has already Frame metadata, but not Machine one
But I wan gabcube still

[verbal nymph]

Ooo, frame

[fringe salmon]

but frame is something nobody guesses the price of or cares but for the machine people go bonkers so its funnier see people think it could even come close to 1500 lol

I just like to see the chaos

[verbal nymph]

I want frame to be $700 or less

[hardy merlin]

For ARM integrated device that seems reasonable

[fading spade]

I think this is the frame
They don't call the machine a console
Emphasizing that it is a PC and it's priced like one too

[hardy merlin]

That's only for import reasons
Steam Deck was also named as "game console"

[fading spade]

Oo??

Aren't consoles taxed more though?

[fringe salmon]

no

[hardy merlin]

IIRC all consumer electronics are taxed the same

[fading spade]

The tariffs though

[fringe salmon]

no

also both of them are consoles in the sense of using parts to assemble a pre built hardware package that they sell

[fading spade]

Machine is basically a console experience though
With benefit of going into desktop mode when needed

hand to hand combat in my childrens card game while on a motorcycle show???

yugioh 5 ds is one of the more enjoyable versions imo , card wise and anime wise

[little cape]

yugioh died after 5ds

[manic owl]

https://tenor.com/view/yugioh-5ds-yugioh5ds-gif-24598114

[little cape]

too bad it became OTK cancer with terrible card effects and ruling

feel like they need to remake the whole game again

[manic owl]

my oponent when i only take 2 moves to summon junk warrior by cheesing junk synchrons

[manic owl]

like genuinely i think 5ds had the most fluid plays at least video game wise its pretty good, i never really played the cardgame ... i wonder if i should pick up some cards for cheap

[little cape]

stardust dragon and archfiend dragon designs are very nice icl

[little cape]

yeah it was fun

i didnt like xyz cards (iirc that was after 5ds)

and 5ds Synchro summoning felt like fusion summoning which i enjoyed a lot back in the day

[manic owl]

yeah i think so the games do go chronological

[manic owl]

should i just buy a tin for like 18€ for fun? or do i just buy a single card for 40 cents

[little cape]

yes

[manic owl]

Did both lol i just think the tin is neat and yugioh is not as dogwater scalped as pokemon

[green dune]

You will be in for a rude awakening.

[manic owl]

I bought a dragon deck from a thrift store for a few bucks

A few of the cards from it

Love how this one gets darker

Here is some numbers

[green dune]

That deck is very bad, might even be illegal.

[young hill]

The deck I bought have like 60 cards

The top pictures are from that deck

Bottom four are stuff from years I collected

[green dune]

Some of those cards are like original or near original prints.

[green dune]

Magic cards.

[young hill]

Yeah😄

I have had some of these since I was 8-9

So like 2008-2009

I also had Japanese cards

Might still have some somewhere

So that is what

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/05/physical-game-fans-beware-digital-downloads-hit-an-astonishing-85percent-on-ps5-ps4-last-quarter

[hasty belfry]

A bit misleading but still, digital is big.

A lot of titles are digital only like indies and such.

"Most people" play like FIFA and COD and that's it, there is no reason to buy stuff like that phyiscal it is worthless in 12 months anyway.

I'd like to see numbers only for single player titles that isn't gamekey card shit or disc with no data.

[small comet]

in general a lot of people buy digital out of convenience

just look at how much steam makes

[hasty belfry]

Yeah, Steam is shit too.

Love "convenience" when you swap game like once every 50 hours.

[small comet]

well the conhvenience is you just click virtual stuff and it happens and installs

no fiddling with dvds, blurays or gameboxes

its the same reason we switched to other media

floppies were too fiddly compared to cds

cds too fiddly compared to dvds and so on

[hasty belfry]

Digital releases later, is more expensive, can't be sold or traded, for movies etc streaming is worse in every way. It's just shit all around.

[small comet]

idk about later or more expensive

last i checked digital is usually the same time and the same price

[hasty belfry]

I also get my discs 1-2 days before "official" release

Digital is always 15-20 euro more on release

[fringe salmon]

think I played 5 different games in the last 48

[small comet]

idk where you shop but hook me up

i love sellers breaking their embargo

[hasty belfry]

Any store in sweden?

[small comet]

and giving me discounts

[fringe salmon]

and yeah idk where you are that digital costs more

[hasty belfry]

Pragmata 100kr more expensive on Store
Requiem 300kr more expensive on PS Store

[fringe salmon]

makes no sense either since the retail box and burning costs actual money vs providing a download

[hasty belfry]

Like what do you meeeean

???

[orchid prism]

Monopoly Kronor

[hasty belfry]

Digital more expensive in your fake kroner currency as well 😛

[fringe salmon]

you can buy pragmata physical for cheaper than the 60€ steam price?

[hasty belfry]

Yes, you could pre-order Pragmata physical for 50 euro.

[small comet]

inb4 this is some eur -> sek conversion to avoid people abusing regional pricing

[fringe salmon]

yeah no thats not something normal and idk someone just doing a sale or something

[small comet]

anyway the only time i can get a physical cheaper is its used

[fringe salmon]

or abusing regional pricing somewhere yea

[small comet]

comapring eur to eur

[hasty belfry]

Looked at UK store and Amazon

Requiem more expensive digital

But I don't know any local websites for UK to compare prices so could be cheaper elsehwere

[hasty belfry]

No sales, regular price.

[fringe salmon]

just because its not listed doesnt mean its not a sale

[hasty belfry]

Sales are when I get Pokémon Z-A for 25 euro physical and it's still 70 euro digital.

[compact oriole]

right. 60€ isnt on sale

it has to be 60% cheaper to qualify as on sale

[small comet]

yes

also do the physical editions even include all languages?

It's the default price for every store, what do you mean sale???

[topaz aspen]

I love physically collecting games. Its a shame so many games nowadays need always online

Or the physical purchase is just a digital liscense with a cardboard box

[hasty belfry]

I consider this physical price to be expensive, it's been 349krish for a while, it's 769kr digital.

Like the only time digital MIGHT be cheaper is if digital is on sale and physical is not.

[compact oriole]

or just buy a key

[fringe salmon]

nah we're not adding in shady key sellers as a legit comparison point

[compact oriole]

i checked amazon here and its not nearly as cheap

shady

[fringe salmon]

https://isthereanydeal.com/game/resident-evil-requiem/info/ cheapest legit requiem key is 52

[compact oriole]

whats legit even mean. my link was legit and its 38

[topaz aspen]

arent most just stolen credit card washing?

[compact oriole]

there are a lot of em ye

[fringe salmon]

either that or abusing regional pricing etc.

[small comet]

or review copies being sold

[compact oriole]

depends on which store you buy from

[fringe salmon]

hence I only count something like isthereanydeal that only lists stores that have legit sales contracts

[compact oriole]

i never buy the ones that are basically markets for people to put up their keys

[fringe salmon]

so you know it wont have any grey area

[maiden tulip]

https://gonintendo.com/contents/60690-original-star-fox-artist-says-the-character-designs-in-star-fox-on-switch-2-are

[compact oriole]

if the key can be activated in your area, its not a gray area

[fringe salmon]

thats not how that works

[hasty belfry]

99% of the time yes, it's been a while since there were local releases like nordics only having Swedish, Danish, Finnish etc.

[small comet]

finnish isnt a real language good joke

[hasty belfry]

Waah

[compact oriole]

if it can be activated in my area, thats exactly how it works

[fringe salmon]

if I use a website where I know 80% of them are bought by shady means like stolen credit cards, its doesnt stop being shady just because it works?

[small comet]

no becuase the aquisition of the keys is the gray market not if you can activate them

[compact oriole]

????????????????????

[fringe salmon]

I'm not saying you are being scammed, thats not the issue of those sites

[hasty belfry]

Publishers rather you pirate it than buy grey market keys.

[small comet]

its like saying "well i can put this suspiciously cheap and without a box coming car radio in and it works so it cant be gray market"

[maiden tulip]

@hasty belfry digital be cheaper now on the eshop

[hasty belfry]

That's from Nintendo though, not retailers.

[fringe salmon]

this just isnt a logical conclusion

[maiden tulip]

Well the retailers stinki

[small comet]

yes but 99.9% of sellers on those market platforms are legit just buying keys, gifts or accounts with stolen credit cards, sell you review keys or abuse regional pricing to get accounts/gifts

[topaz aspen]

yea, Im going to stick with humble bundle or steam

[maiden tulip]

why would i buy a digital game from... a physical store @hasty belfry

[topaz aspen]

digital discounts sounds like a mindfield

[compact oriole]

bro read

[hasty belfry]

We're comparting pricing who the cares about digital?

[small comet]

no you read what quin has actually said... he only considers key websites that have actual contracts with the publishers

aka they arent market places

[maiden tulip]

I do as i'd rather save 15cad

[fringe salmon]

then why do you link a price from a site where that happens

[compact oriole]

no, he said that being able to activate keys in your region is a gray area

[maiden tulip]

greenman is nice for that

[fringe salmon]

????? no

[hasty belfry]

Ok, but you're only "SAVING" if you buy from Nintendo and you only want digital so how are you saving again?

[compact oriole]

i didnt. that shop isnt a market

[maiden tulip]

Because before the games used to cost the same physical vs digital?

[fringe salmon]

I said being able to activate a key means nothing about the key being acquired by legal, illegal, or shady grey area means

[small comet]

no he said its still a gray area even if you can activate the key

[hasty belfry]

No, physical was always listed as 10 more from Nintendo.

[maiden tulip]

Like when i bought pokemon it was 85cad physical 85cad digital

[maiden tulip]

Not in canada

[compact oriole]

ye but i already qualified that those arent shadily acquired keys

[hasty belfry]

I don't live in canada

[fringe salmon]

why the fuck do we argue about canadian prices for someone paying in kroners

[maiden tulip]

Well i get a discount and i'm happy

[small comet]

i get the feeling you nordic people are just cucked with digital prices

[maiden tulip]

Hopefully this rolls out to other regions

[fringe salmon]

discount no this is the physical edition costing more

[compact oriole]

there some weird tax shit in sweden? hows digital that much more expensive

[hasty belfry]

I dunno I get tax baked into my price right away instead of being scammed at checkout 😮

[small comet]

thats a US thing but ok

[maiden tulip]

no it's not

[fringe salmon]

it literally is

[maiden tulip]

Price was 85 for both before, now we get a 15$ discount for buying digital

[fringe salmon]

I can not be bothered being told on a weekend that nintendo is starting to be a generous company lmao

[maiden tulip]

idk about you but i dont give a fuck about a box of plastic sitting on a shelf

So i'd rather save 15$

[hasty belfry]

Digital has always been like this but battle.net is taking the piss with regional pricing

[small comet]

literally most of the world pays the price they see on a price tag in a store lol (red means vat and blue means no vat)

[maiden tulip]

it literally is a price drop for games if you don't mine buying digital

[maiden tulip]

This graph is wrong

[compact oriole]

its never been consistently cheaper here

[maiden tulip]

Tax aint in the price in canada

@small comet

Only is for gasoline

[compact oriole]

what

in canada no price is final until at checkout?

[maiden tulip]

Yep

[compact oriole]

food in stores arent shown with taxes?

[hasty belfry]

Like take this: That's basically almost 90 euro, how much is that for you guys?

[maiden tulip]

Yep but a lot of food items are tax exempt

Some arent

[compact oriole]

organic vs processed?

[maiden tulip]

But no you see the taxless price no matter what

[maiden tulip]

Its even more complicated than that

If i buy a cooked rotisserie chicken warm i pay tax on it, if i buy the same exact cooked rotisserie chicken but cold i don't pay tax on it

lol

If i buy a pack of muffins depending on how many muffins are in the box i'll pay tax or not

[compact oriole]

[small comet]

it keeps loading forever so i cant even tell you

[maiden tulip]

Yes its that odd

And it varies by province on top of that @compact oriole

[hasty belfry]

We used to pay in euro but during the pandemic they swapped to regional and added 15% on top for good measure.

[buoyant osprey]

Star Fox remake is $64 for digital and $81 for physical in Norway

[small comet]

well regional would mean its adjusted to like average income or some bs

[hasty belfry]

@buoyant osprey Physical Star Fox 50 euro

[small comet]

so high income countries pay out the ass

[maiden tulip]

enjoy breaking your mind reading this

[small comet]

for example turkey was a popular regional pricing abuse hotspot for steam people. cause games were uber cheap there

[maiden tulip]

@bleak pike cough cough

[small comet]

like you could buy games for cheap (this is requiem on steam) in ukraine for example

or you pay with dongs

1.4mil for requiem

[buoyant osprey]

Is it actually physical?

[small comet]

inb4 gamekey card

image in the listing at least doesnt mention it

[maiden tulip]

Ye

[compact oriole]

bro what.. theyre finally making a new star fox game after having it be dead for who knows how long and its just a shitty remake?

nintendo

[hasty belfry]

Ofc

[maiden tulip]

most people never touched star fox in their lives

[buoyant osprey]

You vill accept ze remake and you vill be happy

[maiden tulip]

Unless you're a dumb furry like me

who played all of them since childhood

[compact oriole]

im pretty sure star fox used to be a massive ip back in the snes and n64 era

[maiden tulip]

Like literally most people know fox as "that character from smash"

Ask people around you

They're literally gonna tell you i know him from smash but that's it

[compact oriole]

everyone around me knows star fox idk

[maiden tulip]

Starfox just never really was as popular as people think

[maiden tulip]

Ask em if they ever played a starfox game

[compact oriole]

both games sold 3m and 4m copies respectively in the fucking 90s

those are insane sales today now imagine 30 years ago

[hasty belfry]

Star Fox Zero on Wii U is kinda mid as well

[maiden tulip]

Yeah and then we got adventure and a few games that never really sold

[buoyant osprey]

Silent Hill in a nutshell

[maiden tulip]

I love adventure but most people didnt vibe with it and it was a flop

[compact oriole]

i played adventure on the gamecube. didnt finish it tho

was really fun

[ivory dune]

Justice for Peppy

[maiden tulip]

Like people make fun of the whole

It's master chief from fortnite

Meme but it applies to other kinda dead franchises as well

Starfox is one of them

As much as i love the games most people only know him from smash

[compact oriole]

ah also this is the 3rd remake apparently..

[small comet]

no hes that character that does an aileron roll when he should do a barrel roll

[maiden tulip]

I really enjoyed the 3ds one

Which is the best version of 64 imo

[buoyant osprey]

I really hate this lol

Same with Fatal Frame 2

[compact oriole]

remaketendo. all im hearing since switch 2 is how theyre rehashing all their old crap

[buoyant osprey]

And soon RE1
