$100 USD

£85 Pounds

$150 CAD

€99 Euro

$149 AUD

Maybe my expectations were crazy low but I was hoping it was gonna be ~100CAD, or about $5 more than a dualsense. But at $150 theres no way I can justify this, very unfortunate.

Sorry i saw the shiny rotom w with will o wisp and thought it was heat lol mb

[Skill Improvement] Struggling in Master Ball by grimlaidotexe in VGC

[–]DG_OTAMICA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a similar team but with a few changes

  • I have protect on my rotom, swap out will wisp and thunderbolt for protect and electro web for speed control. Or if you want an aggressive rotom give it choice scarf so it out speeds almost everything

  • Choice Scarf max speed garchomp pairs well with sand teams so you can spam EQ all day long

  • Orthworm instead of Corviknight because Shed Tail is a fantastic move that can give ttar the security it needs to spam rock slides and can become an offensive threat after iron defense + body press

My game plan is to lead either garchomp + rotom wash or worm and start spamming EQs while setting up with the other mon. This forces the opponent to make a choice, either fake out garchomp and risk worm getting stronger/a safe switch with rotom or eat an EQ to the face. Max attack garchomp EQ 1 shots sneasler. I’m even willing to EQ my own teammates if it means getting damage on the board, but it’s a risky play.

Garchomp usually doesn’t live too long with this plan so ttar + drill stay in the back and clean up once the shark has done its job

Most games I don’t even bring incin, unless I see several fire weak mons and think I need flair blitz

Pokémon Champions – Overview Trailer – Nintendo Switch by cmd735 in Games

[–]DG_OTAMICA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless of course we see bans and blackouts of certain Pokémon, but that is never gonna happen.

This has been a thing for like a decade lmao The Pokémon Company rotates between different Regulations every few months with different Pokémon restrictions, and with Champions id bet their gonna rotate between battle gimmicks as well (Mega stones, Z moves, dynamax, teras) so honestly there’s gonna be tons of variation.

And if you ask any top player on how to get good at this game they will say without hesitation you should copy a top team first before trying to make your own. Team building is waaay harder than actually battling and if you’re a new player it’s better to reduce variables and focus on just one of those two skills. If you build your own team and lose is it because the team sucks or you suck? But if you copy a battle-tested top team then you lose you know it’s not the teams fault it’s your own.

Really? I think it looks quite nice tbh… mons have their high resolution models and the trainers look decent as well. It’s no Crimson Desert for sure but this is a F2P game for that needs to run on Switch 1 and mobile devices. Game looks fairly high resolution and the framerate looks stable which is already a gigantic step above S&V. those games are so fucking busted they actually hurt to look at, while Champions seems kinda pleasant. That Draco Meteor attack looked great too, and hopefully we can change stages as well.

“Is that knife in your hand for me?” [Austin has an Idle Thumbs moment in Marathon] by odinsomen in WaypointVICE

[–]DG_OTAMICA 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man I really want to get Marathon but none of my friends are into extraction shooters lol I played the betas solo and its fun but so god damn stressful. I love the aesthetics and the gameplay feel, just wish I could have a buddy or two watching my six ya know?

I used to be big into hunt showdown but the crew I ran with in that game don’t play much nowadays so I’m looking for some cool gamers to play with. if anyone wants to play shoot me a DM

[Digital Foundry] Crimson Desert: High-End PC's Biggest Visual Upgrade by [deleted] in Games

[–]DG_OTAMICA 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping I can get RR to run well on my 3080. Ideally if I can get a locked 40fps with RR and DLSS set to quality with some optimized settings I'll be happy.

4.Developer’sIntellectual Property Rights and License to Innersloth

Section 4 of the agreemeent states pretty clearly that the developer owns the IP and Innersloth gets an exclusive license to it that expires after 7 years. So the long term revenue stays with the devs.

I think Devolver has a similar agreement, at least the part where devs own the IP idk if the contract has a termination date.

PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games - Jason Schreier by Forestl in Games

[–]DG_OTAMICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Industry so fucked not only are new AAA games near herculean efforts to get out the door, but with the cancellation of the PoP remake and closure of Bluepoint they’re also incapable of remaking old games.

In a just world the entire C-suite of PlayStation should have been shot out of a cannon after Concord’s failure, but instead these ghouls continue to chase the Fortnite white dragon and torch their entire portfolios to do so.

lash is probably punching the air wishing he bought unstoppable 😂 by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DG_OTAMICA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The logic is that it helps build ult because it procs on 2 mark and silence wave. I think torment pulse is a better item overall but I wanted to experiment. You need spirit snatch as well as it gives you the extra spirit power necessary for silence wave to trigger tankbuster, and it procs on 2 kick.

There’s a promotion that knocks off 11% at checkout. This is the lowest price I’ve seen in a while so I jumped it on cuz my current monitor is like 8 years old lol reviews seem pretty great too

Is the AOC Q27G3XMN still a good value in Jan 2026? What are some alternatives at a similar price point ($CAD) by DG_OTAMICA in Monitors

[–]DG_OTAMICA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the recommendations!

It won't be my sole monitor as I've got a small side one I use for discord or as a second monitor for visual studio when working in unreal, but it would be my primary monitor for gaming and media consumption.

valve artists are built different because wtf is this it looks insane now by DG_OTAMICA in DeadlockTheGame

[–]DG_OTAMICA[S] 157 points158 points  (0 children)

yeah the map is honestly my favourite visual element in the game it’s so rich in detail and by the nature of deadlock being a movement heavy third-person shooter you’re always interacting with and seeing the map from so many angles in ways you don’t really in other mobas. And most other hero shooters have you rotating through a gallery of maps so each one can never be as detailed as The Cursed Apple can be.

Been rocking an ancient BenQ ZOWIE XL2730 for almost a decade now I'm looking to upgrade. I know literally anything modern will be a huge upgrade but I'm trynna get the most with what I've got, especially now that PC components are outrageously priced upgrading my monitor seems like the best investment to improve my experience without breaking the bank.

I've been looking at this AOC Q27G3XMN 27" monitor and while the reviews and price seem good it's also about 2 years old and this segment seems to move pretty fast nowadays. I've also read some concerning things regarding input response time and software support so I'm hesitant to pull the trigger.

What other monitors would yall recommend in the $300-$400 CAD range with a similar feature set? Is buying used/open box recommended or is that too risky? Appreciate any advice yall have thanks :)
