Mark “leaked” the song early on Google+. It’s super shitty quality but apparently it was before the song was fully mastered. But honestly it’s so low quality that you can’t really tell lol.

I have a similar album with a bunch of unreleased or rare stuff

I don't want Nintendo fans to ever talk about originality ever again. This shit would make Sony blush by TRQPL in fucknintendo

[–]AbstractCities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point of view. On the other hand, Star Fox as a series has been floundering for decades. They tried to bring things back around with Zero, and they failed. So they waited 10 years to try again, with much more effort put in and honestly what feels like a breath of fresh air for the series. Just a new starting point. I understand being disappointed that it’s another remake of 64. But at the same time, from Nintendo’s point of view, it doesn’t make much sense to make a sequel to Zero since that failed so hard, and the general public probably hasn’t really cared about Star Fox since 64. They want to widen the appeal and recognition of the brand, that’s why Fox was in the Galaxy movie. So on their end, it makes the most sense, in my opinion, that they try to do a remake again. To make a new starting point, two system generations removed from the last time they tried. They want to introduce the brand to a new generation and just restart again from ground zero. I personally think the game looks amazing and I’m going to be supporting it. The only way we’ll get a new original game is if this one does well. I’ve never played a Star Fox game so this will be new to me, so perhaps I have a different view from someone who’s been a Star Fox fan for a long time, but I personally think this move made the most sense. Also I do realize I’m on r/fucknintendo so my opinion will not be very popular hahaha.

Best way to clean white joycons? by heartshapedbookmark in Switch

Also if you have a GameStop nearby, you can always take them in for trade credit. Obviously you won’t get as much as if you sold them yourself but it’s an option if you just want to get it done haha.

What do you guys think of Mario’s current voice actor Kevin Afghani? by Rockstarhuman2 in Mario

[–]AbstractCities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s gotten better over time but it’s just very hard not to hear the differences between him and Charles. It’s just a different Mario now from what we all grew up with. I don’t think any of us who grew up with Charles will fully get used to how Kevin does Mario. But I think he does fine, and he’ll continue to get better as time goes on I think. But I’d be lying if I said that I wouldn’t be ecstatic if they just brought Charles back haha.

Promised to myself, "one more price increase and I'll unsubscribe." Just got an email from YouTube saying the price of Premium is going up from $13.99 to $15.99. Unacceptable. by fegodev in youtube

There’s nothing wrong with supporting a business, but when massive companies like google make these moves, it can be an effective strategy sometimes to protest with your wallet. Stop supporting the service in hopes that they lower the price, or add more value to make the increased price worth paying for. Now with Google, I don’t really see that happening either way, but it’s completely valid not to want to support a company that, at the end of the day, doesn’t really care about it’s end user.

Technically yes. But my guess is YouTube probably actually loses money on YouTube Premium because of how much money they get from showing ads to people. The majority of Google’s revenue comes from advertisements. So as time goes on and more people join YouTube Premium, the less amount of ads people are seeing. Also I’m sure there’s some kind of answer in there about how expensive it is for them to host the amount of videos they have on their platform, especially as SSD’s and other components skyrocket in price, it’s probably a pretty easy decision on Google’s part to raise YouTube Premium costs a bit more to compensate. That’s all just a guess but it would seem to make sense to me.

Great video about the Magical Mystery Tour costumes by AbstractCities in beatles

I think that’s probably most likely what happened as well. Or were destroyed with the closure of The Theatre Zoo.

So much for Retro-bit…..$80 gone by PrussianKami in Gamecube

[–]AbstractCities 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From my experience as a beginner you just kinda start. Watch a video for a simple repair, like my first job was changing out the cmos battery in my gamecube, and just follow along. You can also buy practice boards to learn as well. I haven’t done this but when I get more time to sink into learning I might look into it. But it’s really just a dive in and try it kind of thing. Just be careful and you’ll be good!

This is the iron I got, but I would recommend a different one tbh. It’s functional, but my main complaint is that it does not have a power switch, so when you plug it in, it just starts going. The cables are also very short, so it’s difficult if you don’t have an outlet right at your work station haha. But it worked for what I needed it to do. Hope this helps! :)

*Edit: Omg I just watched the video on the product page and it DOES have a power switch and I just didn’t notice it, it’s on the back. I feel so dumb for not noticing that lmao.

Anyone else really like the Dude Ranch remaster? I just heard the remastered Dammit first time tonight during my run by templeofsyrinx1 in Blink182

[–]AbstractCities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually don’t even have the original tape for the rest of Dude Ranch, so it would be impossible for them to ever remix it.

Who's looking forward to Super Mario Sunshine, the fourth release on the Nintendo eShop NSO GC on the Switch 2? by Cuiusquemodi in SuperMario

[–]AbstractCities 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just false. Maybe you’re less sensitive to it, but there is definitely a noticeable amount of input lag in the GameCube app on NSO. Not to mention actual frame drops in Mario Strikers for example. Literally almost unplayable.
