Took forever to get through the buggy Eshop but N64 NSO controller ordered. There will be a war for it next family get together XD

The price is hard for me to justify. Think I’ll just get used to the bit great layouts of the pro controller

word on the street is that they're gonna fix the "iPadOS is still a mobile OS" problem at WWDC next month! window-based multiasking, etc. Might be M1 iPads only though? We'll see.

That said, for me, I work on computers all day every day, but my work sorta requires a desktop. What I want out of a mobile computer is "couch usability" which the iPads have in spades. I just wanna read/browse/shop/doodle/video call/occasionally photo/video edit (Lumafusion is incredible on iOS/iPadOS) that kinda thing. Nothing major at all.

Let's hope so, it's a waste having a M1 Chip just for iPad Os.

Yeah nothing beats an iPad in "couch usability"; my ipad mini was more comfortable to use in an couch and bed, while my macbook air its just usable on a couch.
I still though about upgrading my ipad mini 5 to the mini 6 (mini 5 has huge bezels and it makes a difference) but they had to get rid of the headphone jack! Seriously, you have more than enough space for it, why get rid of it? I could use a dongle on the usb c port, but it wouldn't be ergonomic to use in landscape mode while watching videos/tv shows (first world problems).
But i'm happy with my change; i have a minimalist mindset and i'm happy with turning 2 gadgets into one and all my gadgets having usb-c charging 😁 (Macbook Air, Switch Oled and smartphone).

This has already started almost all games from big publishers coming 2023 or later are 'next-gen' exclusive and some games that were announced for old gen has been announced they are not releasing anymore for the old platforms.

You are right. I should have probably focused more on the gameplay aspect. It feels like we have seen mostly just teaser trailers at this point for most games or just announcements with "we will have more information to show soon". I'm excited to see stuff shown as SGF and other platforms coming up. Only Sony and Bethesda have released "next-gen" stuff to this point. I'm ready for my PS5 to really flex its muscles.

Been dealing with terrible anxiety and dark thoughts today (due to me discovering this morning what appears to be petechiae on my lips). It'll probably last until I get the lab results on monday. To try to ease me up, I played quite a bit of Slay The Spire today. But after so many hours, I start to get sick of the game, feeling like I saw everything it has to offer me and got tired of its... ugliness, for the lack of a better word.

So was wondering if you guys knew other good solo deck-building games on the Switch ? It's a genre that I find soothing, but I'm also open-minded to laid-back life simulators and stuff like that. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

I'm obligated to recommend Shadowverse Champion's Battle to anyone who's thirsty for some card action. It's a TCG RPG that's built and balanced perfectly.

Also try: Monster Train, Yu-Gi-Oh Rush Duel. Fore more "laid back" stuff Wingspan is perfect. A card/board game where you attract birds by having a desirable garden.

Can’t they just send to the shipping address and give you a time if it needs signature at delivery? Seems like this shouldn’t be that hard for them to accommodate since it was their error in the first place.

I wish you the best and hope you manage to clear your mind until you get the results from the lab.
Monster Train is a great deck building game if you haven't played it yet. And it's a prettier game than Slay the spire.

Monster Train

Also best of luck with your results. I hope it's nothing to worry about in the end.
 
I know I haven't been here for quite some time, life got really busy. But I do remember that the last time I have been here, one of the last things I did was continuously whining about how I want a Xenoblade 3, pronto.

Miracles do happen, wishes come true, guys.

That being said I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Thanks a lot, guys. Bought Monster Train and, after a suggestion of my editor-in-chief, also SteamWorld Quest which was on sale. Now I’ll have plenty of stuff to keep me occupied if I can’t find sleep tonight !

they should make a Yakuza card game tbh
 
So I have a script running on the Famiboards server that is checking the NA eShop once per minute for any sign of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition being in stock. It will send a text to my phone the moment it goes up.

How would everyone feel if I set it up so that it automatically posts a thread the minute it goes up for preorder?

Is using a bot for information (as opposed to automatically purchasing) within the realm of reason, or do we feel like that takes it a step too far?

I think that'd be ok
 
I'm convinced the board at Sony Interactive were like "We will appoint the next person to walk into this room as president" and Jim Ryan stumbled in with his pants halfway undone saying "oh whoops this isn't the bathroom"

like, Jim Ryan is video game executive Mr. Bean

"Respect" my ass Jim.

Jesus, can Sony just find one executive who's not a total shithead? Jack Tretton, Andrew House now this. Come on.
Click to expand...
What was up with Tretton or House? I genuinely don't know

In any case, Shawn Layden has been very vocally progressive and good on twitter, so at least there's him

What the genuine fuck?

...yeah, like my mind is split much like what you're holding in your hands. Great to hear that not all is lost, but why the fuck are they going to destroy your stuff if they're the ones who fucked up? You gave them your new address, you haven't moved the physical location of this building...what the hell? Why is the onus of rearranging delivery on you for their fuck up?

Get your shit back first but I'd be investigating a chargeback to get compensation for that nonsense.
 
See, it's not that I stan Nintendo. It's more that I just despise the competition. And they keep giving me reasons.

Tretton was super unprofessional, his hostile "fanboyesque" comments during the interview were super annoying. Especially when targeted Nintendo. Stuff like calling Wii a lollipop or "I'd be ashamed to play Nintendo in public". Generally unlikable guy.

House was just a bad president. Responsible for closure of many studios, including Evolution and Zipper.

Layden was good actually. Respected fans and the whole Playstation legacy. Complete opposite of Ryan (especially now after we found out he had shitty general views).

If you are a high executive in almost any big company your morals are probably not the best, in PS case they have just got a lot of them that haven't even tried to make it private.

Man, coming up with dozens of random NPC names based on limited world building mythology you have in your head is not as easy as it sounds.

Filamina Quackenbush can teach you expert dagger skill if you'd like.




Also fuck Jim Ryan.

I might actually use a few of those if you don't mind. I'm particularity fond of Quillion Vallumbacher.

I might be the only one who watches impractical jokers as my “don’t want to think” background show.
 
As a man, Jim Ryan clearly has the best points and most knowledge to share on the topic of abortion rights /s

Fuck this dude.

The only valid difference in opinion here is whether to impeach the justices who lied under oath, expand the court, or impose term limits.
 
"Respect other people's opinions on abortion" Fine, then you respect people's rights to get one. It's that simple.
