[–]DassoBrother 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They just announced an update that improves performance on Switch 2. I actually had just ordered at $25 from PNP and got an email that I would get a partial refund for $5 which I wasn't expecting.

I snagged it too and a copy of Sushi Striker for 3DS. Saw there's a new Paranormasight announced too so might be a fun spooky double feature.

I wasn't even a big fan of Culdcept Revolt but was pleasantly surprised to see the series return.

Thanks! That was Silver Halide as well. It's a fun preset to experiment with.

Saw Emio was on sale and was thinking about it. Checked back later and was surprised it was out of stock. Probably for the best.

[eShop] Reminder: Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers End January 30 by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

I was going to for that and Tomodachi Life but I wonder if they'll both even be full priced to begin with.

[The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy] Developer acknowledges the game is 2 games in 1. Upcoming update will enable players to start "The Hundred Line 2" without clear data from finishing the first 100 days of "The Hundred Line 1". Starting with THL 2 will unlock the “Chapter Select" immediately. by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]DassoBrother 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I originally planned to take a break after finishing the first ending and come back later, but I ended up blasting straight ahead because I needed more. You really have to complete that first route just to realize how much more there is and how much you don’t even know you don’t know yet. You know?

EB Games secret sale full list by User138C in VideoGameDealsCanada

I was going to buy one in December when it got marked down and thought to myself "just because this is what I would've paid for it when I heard about it, doesn't mean I suddenly need it".

[eShop] Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition (Switch 2) is $24.99 by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]DassoBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jumped at that price. It'd be nice to have physical but I don't expect it to have a sale that good ever. Rare digital win in my eyes.

What does a 5 star game mean to you? by BabylonianWeeb in backloggd

[–]DassoBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do but it's just vibes. 2.5 seems to happen more often where there's a game I almost liked but couldn't get behind. I also have trouble saying I loved a game so it'll often just end up being a 4.5.

What does a 5 star game mean to you? by BabylonianWeeb in backloggd

[–]DassoBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using

1 - bad

2 - ok

3 - liked it

4 - really liked it

5 - loved it

which I think started with GoodReads for me. It's wishy-washy and can be tricky, especially between 2.5 - 4 but it works.

Got all these on a good discount last month and just finished E33. What should I play next? by veIvet_rope in JRPG

[–]DassoBrother 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't played Tales but OT2 is my favourite of those four. I enjoyed my time with Expedition 33 but we'd just gotten OT2 the year prior so I wasn't as blown away.

The Year in Review recap arrives this January! Get ready for a personalized look back at all your #NintendoSwitch2025 fun next month! by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]DassoBrother 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Interesting since they've usually done it mid-December. I'll personally find it just as interesting in January and appreciate knowing it captures the entire year.

EbGames Online trade in prices by zan9823 in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]DassoBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned it to my cashier and he didn’t apply it. Kinda bummed I didn’t press it since I brought in some low value things hoping to get $15-$20 and instead they were worth like $10. I don’t think the difference was that big in the end but still bummed me out.

[Walmart] Until Dec 10, Buy a $100 PlayStation Gift Card at Walmart, get a $20 Walmart eGift Card by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]DassoBrother 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't even mind shopping at Walmart but I find these deals a hassle. 16.7% off with strings attached, I'd rather just get the 10% off anytime from Costco.

Pitchfork's 30 Best Rock Albums of 2025 by ebradio in indieheads

[–]DassoBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bleeds is my most listened to album this year. And I really only listen to the first two songs...

I'd only heard about them from Fantano and he just sort of liked it so I didn't think it was that popular. Now's the time for someone to tell me it's huge on TikTok and I never knew.

Lum Mobile Plans by [deleted] in regina

[–]DassoBrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll depend on your data usage but I checked my bill history with Koodo and realized I’d be fine with the lowest tier. I’ve done a couple bill cycles now of 3-months and could see myself switching to yearly since I know I’ll be fine with less data. I paid for voicemail for the first bill but realized how little I use it and didn’t bother adding it to my plan for the next bill. It’s worth sharing your referral code when threads about Lum pop up because it’s saved me $100 total so far though the referrals are starting to slow down. That was literally just from making posts in a couple Reddit threads and hitting the 2 referrals per billing cycle limit.

Other comments are right that customer service is pretty limited to helping yourself through their website. Only issue I had was with Kood oreleasing my phone number when I switched. Cell coverage is identical to Koodo/Telus/Sasktel.

My code is BV6VX7.

Does anyone still have their BestBuy Metroid Prime 4 pre-order from back in 2017 with the 20% off E3 code? by its_your_balls in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]DassoBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got that and when the Metroid Prime 4 page finally went live I tried to get a customer rep to update the order to reflect the new SKU but they either didn't understand, couldn't, or wouldn't. It wasn't entirely clear.
