I just don't want the store to ever go away and lose all those free games.

Nintendo's deals are officially announced (and start the 19th), so it's a good time to get this thread started. Retail offers - My Nintendo Store - Nintendo Official Site WWW.NINTENDO.COM Find where to buy Nintendo Switch games, systems, and more. Stay up to date with the latest video game deals from Nintendo.

More FFXVI. Just got the Berserker Ring. Fun how they gradually take off the training wheels using accessories. Still loving the game this far, not buying into the hate at all.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy I moved to Simplifi so far. It sounded like the most robust cheap option ($3-5 a month), and now I feel like I have my finances better mapped out than I did with Mint. The goals part is a less intuitive to set up, but has a feature I really like. You can designate amounts from any account towards them, and shows that as a line item underneath these accounts in your overall listings.

Bit the bullet and signed up for Simplifi. Which isn't that simple, truly, because no budgeting app is. Overall, does what I need it to do. It's got some quirks and isn't as straightforward as Mint, but does a nicer job of letting you map out longer term expenses. Most accounts imported okay. The few that didn't (fidelity, huh?) I could enter manually without too much trouble.

Should still be a great portable machine with that spec and performance quality. We've seen rumors of DLSS3 being supported. That could just be pie in the sky given the chip it likely is.

Anyone try Simplifi? That’s another one I’ve seen floated around as a decent, low cost alternative.

I never post new threads here, but this is worth calling attention to. It really doesn't need to be said after TurboTax, but fuck off Intuit. Mint was seemingly the only free budgeting app worth using (... spreadsheets aside). It's being gutted and merged into Credit Karma, without the budgeting, goal setting, bill calendar features, etc. Presumably because people mismanaging their money helps bolster Credit Karma's buisness. I've started moving to Fidelity Full View since my investments are mostly there. It handles budgeting by category in the way Mint did, without some key features (support for bills that show up annually, every few months, etc). But since it did a shit job importing two of my banks/cards, I also opened an account at Empower (Personal Capital) for a bigger picture of cash flow and tracking credit card balances. The budgeting side of their web app is garbage though. You can't set budgets by category, only a total monthly amount. I also used a spoof number via Google Voice to avoid marketing calls to upsell me on investment products. Contrary to what the internet says, you don't need to take a call to open an account and use the app. Any budgeting app recommendations? Everything else I've looked into costs a monthly fee, takes too much babysitting, doesn't link accounts well, etc.

I actually really like the look of this, wish it wasn't mobile.

Heard good things about this. Let me know if you try it.

So sorry Xi. Taiwanese, not Uyghur.

Technically, AMD employees a warehouse full of workers in China that do upscaling calculations in real time with abacuses.

None of the FSR implementations are AI driven, at least not in the way DLSS or XESS are with neural networks. FSR1 is mostly about edge sharpening. Some swear by it on the Deck's screen, and Nintendo has had limited success with it in on Switch (ToTK, Switch Sports). I'd still rather run a game at native. But even FSR1's look is preferable to some of the FSR2 implementations on consoles lately, looking like artifacted messes by reconstructing from too low resolutions. There's some real growing pains with UE5 games especially.

Wasn’t there a Vita remake or something?

What would be the best way to play the first game these days? This remake is reviewing well.

Fewer entries than I hoped for. If anyone still wants to vote I’ll be trying to compile the list over the weekend.

@Ominous What gets me is that people who post on forums still tend to be marriage and parent age now. The last thing I want to teach my kid is “poon is a prize.” I’m sure any woman he’s with or after would find that flattering.

There was a now deleted post where he made fun of another person here directly. No idea if it was an actual photo of them he posted, but it appeared that it might be, and that crosses a line. Even in response to this thread (and others) getting clowned on here.

That doesn't exactly total a dozen, or 10 either. We're going to see more of their established studios working on GaaS games in some capacity. TLOU is on ice, but there's likely more in the works.

Who says their GAaS projects are all from newly bought (or formed) devs? Either way, I don’t think it’s a smart move for the console manufacturers to go down this road. They’ve traditionally been risk adverse in the space to not risk tarnishing their brand, with flops and/or bad practices. The 3rd party publishes doing it don’t have to sell a console. Plus with these games inevitably on PC sooner, how much does it really benefit their platforms?

Couldn’t there be more to it than just that? I think about them selling the PS5 Digital for $400 after the Series S announcement.

Gotta vote properly if you want it to count. You've played more than 2 games.

FFXVI, took down the first big thing, to keep it vague, but still having a great time with it.

Bump for a final reminder! Get your votes in before the end of the month.

Great video from DF as always. I want to see a console equivalent video next with where it has and hasn't delivered compared to games running on other engines. On that note, we haven't seen much in the way of open world UE5 games either.
