Me too. I feel gross giving Nintendo money, but at least I split a family plan with a bunch of friends

caseyweederman,

And a JPN N64 to play import games without having to drill out the region lock blocks!

RightHandOfIkaros,

Well yes, if you are paying Nintendo to rent games you already own physical copies of.

wheeldawg,

You would’ve been more correct to just stop after “paying Nintendo”. Giving them money is bad, period.

Let them fade into obsolescence.

    I’ll stay on Switch 1 and steam deck until there is a significant drop.

    The Switch never went down in price after 8 years and neither did the games. I don’t think that’s happening until Nintendo makes a console that can’t run Switch 2 games.

    That’s true.

    wheeldawg,

    It is a really simple mod to make. Any modder could do it, most likely, using original controllers even- the only thing stopping it is Nintendo themselves and their copyright. Using a 2.4ghz connection would be much better than Bluetooth as well. That’s something Nintendo would have to implement into the console most likely, although I can see that being doable.

    Plus, their controllers are only really “good” for nostalgia reasons. They’ve been improved on in every way by others.

    IMO they haven’t done anything good for the industry at all lately. I’m not saying the other consoles have either, I think they’re all shit. Mainly because of exclusives. Fuck that entire concept at it’s very core.

    Hardware exclusives, OS exclusives, etc are all bad.

    Nintendo is going the extra shitty mile with the way they handle copyright in particular, but the entire console industry is corrupt.

    If there is a machine with enough computing power to run a piece of software, it should be able to do it, period. That is the technological ideal that should be aimed at. Not the “how much can I charge for the ability to play this game” idea.

    RightHandOfIkaros,

    I agree with you, but I also recognize that saying that to someone that clearly enjoys Nintendo products would be incredibly mean. So while I also imagine what I said could be seen as mean, it is far less mean IMO than just blanket dropping the entire company.

    Like, I used to love Nintendo. But when Iwata died and Fils-Aime left NoA, Nintendo changed for the absolute worst. I could not hate Nintendo more, actually. Still, I try to not be super mean to most people that like Nintendo products.

    samus12345,

    I feel the same way - I absolutely loathe current Nintendo’s business practices, but I can’t deny they make fantastic games. So if someone can afford their premium prices, more power to them. I’ll be interested to see how Nintendo does this gen since they’re pricing out the casual market that’s made them successful in the past.

    wheeldawg,

    Not sure how that’s mean.

    If I said “you’re a stupid idiot to give them money” then sure. Saying it’s a bad idea isn’t mean.

    I hate it when games force you to fish to get to 100%. It just isn’t fun to do in most games

    Edit: spelling

    mriswith,

    Then you come across a game like Far Cry 5, which is mainly about gunning down fanatics, like most Far Cry games. But it has surprsingly good fishing. Although it’s mainly down to the enviroment, the actual fishing mechanic isn’t amazing.

    It captured that feeling of standing on the bank of a lazy river, seeing a deer through the foggy reeds in morning, as fish catch insects on the surface. Or watching over a mountain lake as the sun sets in the distant mountains and a bird circles overhead.

    TheFriendlyDickhead, (edited )

    I don’t know if I simply didn’t understand the mechanic right or gave up to fast, but for some reason I never warmed up to the fishing. I just stood there and wobbled the fishing line, but nothing bit. I have basically 100% the game, the only thing I skipped was the few fiahing missions. But if you have tips please feel free to tell me, mb I will go back :)

    mriswith, (edited )

    The basic fishing rod is basically a scam, in that it’s almost impossible to catch anything but the most basic fish. The “natural rod” you can buy from vendor takes 2 out of the 3 stats on the basic from 2->4 for almost nothing. And some fishing spots have an upgraded rod already.

    As for how it works: It’s basically like fishing with a spinner. You throw it out and slowly reel it in as they swim towards lure/bait, and you pull/click as they bite. Then you pull the rod opposite the direction it’s swimming and try to reel in a bit at the same time(if it’s swimming towards you, just reel). As the line turns from green to red, you stop moving and reeling in to let the line “cool down” before doing it again until it’s at the shore(I often recommend standing a little bit into the water if it’s shallow, since standing too far back will prevent catches)…

    There’s also different bait depending on wherer you are fishing; Mountain lake bait wont always in a river.

    And once you have a hang of the basics, there are two quest chains that give you high level fishing rods.

    I usually Google whether fishing is necessary. I think for FF15 and Sea of Stars it wasn’t so I didn’t bother.

    nudnyekscentryk, do zapytajszmer w Płatność NFC po roocie

    KernelSU + moduł Play integrity fix i wtedy działa Google Wallet (do momentu aż Google nie zaktualizuje fingerprintów i trzeba poczekać 1-2 dni aż deweloper PIF puści aktualizację ale to się zdarza circa raz na 3 miesiące)

    A bez tego alternatywą jest płatność samą apką: w ipko można używać po prostu swojej karty poprzez NFC bezpośrednio w apce niezależnie od Google Wallet, natomiast apka mBanku pozwala na Blik Zbliżeniowy. Oba na tą chwilę nie narzekają na root i odblokowany bootloader.

    The stories about that dude are so good. The sheer pigheadedness of some players. Like the guy who spent like 8 hours fighting that boss instead of just walking around. he eventually won, to his credit.

    I gave up after a couple tries on my first dude, but when Margit kept kicking my ass I restarted as a sorcerer. Killed both of them with the trusty pew-pew magic pebble.

    who, do games w Starting today, Heroic Games Launcher is indexing their Discord server

    A flimsy band-aid over the real problems:

    • Locking an open-source project’s community behind a corporation’s private service & license terms.
    • Using a real-time chat platform for long-lived information storage.
    ifmu,

    Agreed. But it’s a good intermediate step.

    dustyData,

    It’s not. It’s not even a bandaid. Answeroverflow has a bad indexer and the search is useless. In my experience it produces no information of value whatsoever because all it throws back are messages devoid of context unless you read hundreds of lines of some randos conversation. God forbid the conversation lasted several days, you are better off asking chat again.

    fmstrat,

    It’s an intermediate step, but not a good one.

    If you’re indexing the content anyway, move the whole thing to a forum since it’s the same amount of work. Indexing inside Discord is just wasted hours as more and more items will continue to pile up.

    Discord is absolute trash for this type of thing, and when intermediate steps are likely the same amount of work as migrating your community, why bother other than the claim of “it’s where people are already”?

    Oh wow, Xbox 360 Minecraft. That just unlocked some childhood memories. I no longer have a 360, or I’d gladly be playing it too. I guess I could look into emulators instead.

    I vaguely remember seeing mods for Java edition that exist to bring old nostalgic Minecraft elements like the whole Xbox 360 UI and the old janky ass world gen to modern versions. I really ought to look into them at some point.

    Xenia runs the whole thing well for emulation. I was able to get Wii U edition to run smoothly on low end hardware, but Xenia and RPCS3 to emulate it has only really worked well on my mid tier desktop. I’ve heard of the modpack you’re talking about but have never gotten around to trying it unfortunately. Everytime i think about it something comes up lol
