fit em all up in there posted:I had luck with Newegg when I upgraded mine. See that's half the problem, you click on that and the default 'buy now' at least for me was a third party seller, not Newegg. Make sure you select the option to buy from an actual major retail seller not some random re-seller on their sites and you should be ok.

man nurse posted:The game is playable but this isn’t people being snobbish, the performance is out of this world bad. Like, really low frame rates with hitches and stuttering and crashes. thanks, crashing is a pretty big issue if it happens even a few times so i guess i'll probably wait for a patch or a big discount sale. Andrast posted:You have blessed eyes if fps like this doesn't look horrid to you it doesn't but you shouldn't take my opinion too seriously because i'm a massive contrarian whose library is 95% small budget indie games due to an irrational dislike of certain kinds of polish. like when I say contrarian I mean so contrarian that I think really high framerates look weird and too smooth, and it's not that I think that the inverse of that is ideal but it doesn't bother me much more either, it's probably near the bottom of things I care about. i don't expect anyone else to agree because it's a completely idiotic stance that's shaped by my personal background in another medium, that's why my questions were about whether it affected gameplay because it would have to reach something unbelievable like constant 3fps before that was the deal breaker for me.

Amazon mixes inventory from 1st and 3rd party sellers. Ordering "sold by Amazon.com" does not mean that you're getting authentic cards. Just go to Sandisk's site and order straight from there.

friends of mineral town seems to be pretty good so far. i'm still re-learning the rules. the controls are a little bit weird but once you figure them out it's fine. it feels like the game moves about 10-15% too fast, but this could just be because i played the GBA one a lot and maybe that runs slower than the game is supposed to for processing reasons. wtf is a fruit cow. cursed livestock

No it'll be fine. Preorder on the Lego website if you like but the more expensive sets are manufactured in enough quantity that there's plenty to go around once the initial rush has died down. Lego reselling becomes a thing once the sets are out of production, which is set dependent but usually they're available for 2 years at least.

I think they mentioned it'll be an exclusive in their official Lego shops and online store for the first year then released to general retail so that implies they'll be manufacturing it for a decent amount of time. Lego was getting heavily rushed during Covid 19 and even then they've replenished stock on the most popular sets, including a kickin rad hits right in the nostalgia update of an old pirate ship which made every adult Lego fan poo poo themselves and immediately buy it. This will be fine.

Endorph posted:The people doing the deadnaming are early 2000s rednecks who are presented as bad guys and who the protagonist constantly gets mad at for doing it. The protagonist does it once, is corrected, and sincerely apologizes. There's a few mishandles scenes (the character is sometimes misgendered and deadnamed when referring to past events) but this is because that is standard and accepted in Japanese, even among Japanese trans people, who refer to the act of transition in a much more then vs now way than western trans culture, which tends to present things as always having been their preferred gender and always using this name, unless those differences are specifically relevant to what they're saying. Thank you very much for the breakdown. This is much more cogent than the mass of (perhaps deserved) outrage on Twitter.

Lots of collectors are going to face immense conflict when the NES set goes out of print and is selling for well over a grand if you never opened it. A larger group of scalpers will be laughing all the way to the bank.

I would recommend checking out Super Mega Baseball 2 - the third one came out recently but they're charging too much for it, and the big change is the addition of a franchise/GM mode, which doesn't sound like what you're looking for. It's a great baseball game, you can create teams which is fun, and the difficulty settings are super adjustable. The Switch version runs very well too.

You are, however, getting Amazon's return policy, so there's that. I've ordered dozens of micro SD cards from Amazon for both Switch and digital camera, and I have had just one fail after a few years of use, possibly due to my own fault. If my experience is typical, then you should be fine.

Caring that the frame rate drops to 27fps when exiting buildings in Link's Awakening is not the same as caring that the game runs at a constant 11fps with tons of graphical glitches and oddities in DP2.

DP2 plays that PS1 / N64 retro feel very, very well. SMH if you didn't live through the single digit framerate generation.

It’s not a Switch game, but I’ve been playing Jedi Fallen Order on PC lately and it’s got me jonesing for some Metroid Prime news. The planet hopping, 3D map style, and general Metroidvania-ish design reminds me a lot of Metroid Prime 3. I’m really hoping for some sort of news on Prime 4 this summer but I really doubt it’s coming, so I guess I’ll keep getting my fix from Star Wars.

DF is definitely nerdy stuff, but most of the time they're praising technically impressive games or giving detailed rundowns on how a game runs across platforms, they're not the 60FPS police.

I’m surprised there’s no CrossCode thread! I’ve been playing it on PC and enjoying it a lot, although the dungeon puzzles are certainly an experience. Tricky, precise timing; it’s like if Nintendo hired Satan to do dungeon design for a Zelda game.

American McGay posted:Caring that the frame rate drops to 27fps when exiting buildings in Link's Awakening is not the same as caring that the game runs at a constant 11fps with tons of graphical glitches and oddities in DP2. i'm really bad at communicating with text and at this point i think trying to explain myself is causing more confusion but i really only meant to ask if the game had problems that would bug me specifically before i purchased it because other people's definitions of unplayable are different from mine, i don't know what else to say to make it clear that these are not general statements about what others should think. or is the opinion too unbelievable and needs an explanation? this isn't even my worst one. Fun Times! posted:What was the other medium you worked in that turned you off to high frame rates? i can't be concise for poo poo and really don't want to get into personal life story in a video game thread, but it's not frame rates that bother me, it's polish and i can vaguely extrapolate frame rates from that but honestly i'm pretty indifferent. i don't think knowing makes it more palatable though, like the most abridged/simplified way i can think to explain it is that i'm highly opinionated on visual art and love amateurish art that looks technically unskillful. so qualities that some people would view as negative are positives for me and that extends to music, film, etc. not when a game crashes though lol. e: wait, i realized what comment you're referring to. it's because high frame rates remind me of motion smoothing but it's not a very fair comparison since motion smoothing is worse and fucks with the image. but really it's just preference, low or high doesn't make that much difference to me. MarcusSA posted:I mean its not a long video and you could watch a bit of it and see but its not the standard pop in stuff. yeah, i got defensive since df is like the opposite of how i feel about technical stuff but they're not mistaken when they point out problems. yellowyams fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Jul 15, 2020 |
