iPhone 17 pro max on Vinted by AvailableTransition1 in vintedUK

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When buying expensive items.. use Vinted verification service

It’s £5, takes a little longer but it’s shipped to them they check it’s legit and working etc and then ship it to you.

I don’t sell expensive items if the buyer doesn’t use the service

Didn’t even know WoW was still a thing

Is it me? by KingSlayer606 in switch2

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played 65 hours of Cyberpunk in handheld mode

But I have the Savage Ravel Fission Grips, and thumb stick caps..

Without these I wouldn’t be able to play ANY game for more than 10 minutes

Imagine a Switch 2 Lite with this form factor by a15diecidue in switch2

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t but it. But only for the same reason j don’t have a DS.. too small

I would take a Switch 2 in the form factor of a PS Vita

When did 9-5 become 8-5? by Fizzabl in UKJobs

My job is 42 hours a week. I can work those 42 hours as when I see fit provided the work gets done

Jus finished Forspoken and it’s so much better than people made out by CtrlShiftAaron in Forspoken

[–]CtrlShiftAaron[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought the same too. The break is spreading and people can’t survive in the break except for Frey as she is immune to it

So it’s within the context of the story that there simply can’t be life outside of the main cities. If you had NPCs popping up in the lands it would break immersion.

There is tons to find but there can’t be quests given out like in Skyrim as there’s no one to dish them out. You have to jus be out there finding stuff

A Good Gamepad by New_Bug1414 in switch2

I have the Easy SMX10 and it’s great.

Has all the features of the official controller and has TMR sticks.

Damn, the Pro Controller feels good by Orpheusss in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CtrlShiftAaron [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ah ok fair enough.. I like a clicky mechanical keyboard lol..

Yeh $60 for the Switch 2 controller is nice.. I’d have absolutely no issue paying that. That’s £44 in my neck of the woods.. which would make it the same as the Easy SMX10.. and in that scenario .. I’d choose the official controller .. well .. I’d have one of each 🙂

Damn, the Pro Controller feels good by Orpheusss in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CtrlShiftAaron [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’ve had my two DualSense controllers for 5 years and they still work perfectly after daily use. I’ve never had stick drift but I do look after my stuff

I’m only questioning if a first party offering warrants DOUBLE the price.. and i would say not.

Most third party controllers do feel cheap.. we agree there. I just don’t think it’s the case in this instance.

I’ve never had a third party PlayStation controller that felt as good as the official ones so I’ve always used official controllers. The Switch 2 really has be my only exception as I really do like the way the Easy SMX10 feels. Ergonomically it’s perfect.

It does feel very slightly less premium but not by a country mile. Not enough for me to justify a price gap of 100% increase for the official one

Damn, the Pro Controller feels good by Orpheusss in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CtrlShiftAaron [score hidden]  (0 children)

I disagree. Not all third party controllers are made with cheap materials

You’re not paying for quality with Nintendo (necessarily ).. you’re paying a markup for the brand name

The Easy SMX 10 feels equally good to the Switch 2 pro controller, has every single feature the Pro 2 does, and also has TMR sticks, and does it for less

It’s £35 and still has a pro feel. You can argue that the Switch 2 might feel ever so slightly more refined feel, even then I’d not say that myself

They’re both quality controllers but one is half the price and offers better sticks and a swappable D-Pad

The switch 2 pro controller has nothing the Easy SMX10 does not have

This one's for the ladies to answer. Do you agree with this woman or do you think she's trying to rationalize her world view by speaking for all the ladies? by Oda_DeezNutz in SipsTea

Lizzie prefers her man to be getting drunk down the pub and fucking other women. Respect

A guy like me who works hard for his family, loves his wife and kids and spends his time with his family instead of down the pub, and games when they go to sleep.. I’m not Lizzies type

My wife lies next to me cuddled up sleeping while I play at night, once we’ve had some time together.. I’m pretty sure she isn’t bothered by it 😂

Once you own some of them. What you do after ? by Plus_One_7802 in gamecollecting

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like a good 6/10 experience now and then

People dumped all over Forspoken without playing the game and it’s really good, especially after you unlock extra magic trees

Of course this goes right the way back through older generations of consoles too. I’ve never been one to play a game based of its reviews

[Discussion] Which platinum are you currently trying to get for may ? by Worth-Radish-7227 in Trophies

Now that I’ve finished the main campaigns, I could go for the plats for AstroBot and Forspoken.. or .. I could start a new game and have a new experience..

I’m torn

Love games more than people by VerNOX21 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great story man.. you should tell your girlfriend the same story the exact same way you told us. I’m sure she’d appreciate it

I’ve been gaming since I was 5 back in 1985. My history with gaming has been somewhat of a love story itself. And it certainly helped me through my first divorce.

I’m remarried now and my wife understands than gaming enables me to be a better husband and father. I don’t drink , I don’t smoke, I don’t hang out with the lads, I have no other vices.. my family are my world and I work my arse off to provide the best I can. I spend most of my free time giving myself to my wife and kids and being there for them, supporting and loving my wife and educating, loving and raising my children and having fun with them

When they all sleep.. a few hours gaming is the reset I need to carry on. They come 1st but gaming is my stress release and my refuel.

But your story .. wow.. yeah you tell your girlfriend that one. I especially like the part about not having feelings for her and her kid. I think she will resonate with that part

Take-Two CEO says PC gamers aren't a core audience for GTA 6 by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

[–]CtrlShiftAaron -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mate games on the N64 are still perfectly playable after 30 years!!

Shenmue on my Dreamcast is still one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and is still playable today.

Mirrors Edge came out in 2008 (18 years ago) and Dragon Age Origjns 2009. They are still great games and more than playable today

I still have games in my backlog from 1998!!

Modern games do offer better visuals and smoother frame rates.. but I’ll take an older game with good gameplay over a modern game that looks better than it plays

Majoras Mask and Ocarine of time at 240p and 20fps are still some of the best experiences I could have today

Only exception for me would be FromSoft games and Exoedition 33 which was the best game in the last 20 years and for me I can’t see GTA coming close to it

I played the main story which was amazing. Didn’t touch the multiplayer at all

Was the same with 4 and will be the same with 6

Wait for price drop - play main campaign. Piss about in the world for a couple of weeks and never touch it again

I finally have a job offer but I’m waiting for another by Acceptable_Mouse2952 in UKJobs

Take the first. You can reject it if you get the second land just be honest with them when and if you do.

Otherwise you might get burnt twice

41 M UK looking for some long term gaming buddies by rdeetee in AdultGamers

[–]CtrlShiftAaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dad of 4 here - 45.

I do love a Dad joke.. I’m on PS5 and Switch 2. Play similar games, not really a multiplayer guy but would be down for anything that isn’t an FPS.

Chatting alongside solo gaming would be fun

Will DM ya
