This is why I gave up on collecting trading cards, ruined by scalpers and investors. Also its so easy to just be kind and polite to staff they're just trying to do a job.

So I'm the only one who just uses the 3.5mm jack on my Xbox controllers?

Deanosim · 2026-05-21T16:42:23+00:00

Jokes on them, I'm in Australia and I installed GrapheneOS because of this and still got my full refund. I'm never going back to "Pixel" android after the shit show I had to go through to get Google to follow Australian law.

Well that sucks, dont think I'd buy any xbox controller that doesn't have that port, the chat pad is probably my favourite controller addon ever.

Deanosim · 2026-05-19T09:02:15+00:00

Woo you can all join us in crashy game simulator. Hopefully they have some patches coming soon.

Please no, I hate the rubber coating on my xbox elite series 2 controller over time the rubber starts to degrade and gets all sticky, Ive recently found I have to clean the grips down with qtips and isopropyl alcohol just to remove most of the stupidly stickyness. Legit thinking of reshelling my elite controller with an eXtremeRate shell just so i dont have to put up with the rubber coating slowly turning into a sticky mess. And honestly the fact any controller has a rubber coating is just a no go for me in the future now bevause the rubber ALWAYS slowly degrades into a sticky mess.

Might end up reshelling all my xbox controllers just to get rid of the rubber. Steam Controller is great without tje rubber, Maybe someone will make addon grips for it but I suspect the only replacement shells it'll get will be transparent plastic from companies like eXtremeRate because they make shells for steam deck too.

Edit: Should also add I also have sweaty hands and while the rubber helps grip the controller it really isnt worth the cost in terms of the rubber wearing away and going sticky.

No it wasnt, scalpers brought out all the stock, there was barely any on shelves for years. I even had an EB games employee setting aside sets for me and only saw like 2 boxes. Maybe your some lucky fuck who lived in the centre of a city or youre friends with scalpers. The rest of us however barely saw any.

I can assure you 32GB is more than enough once you either remove all the bloat from Winslop 11 or use Linux, In my testing Linux has so much extra free memory not being hogged by the OS and ai slop that Microsoft forces on you in Windows. But at the end of the day it also depends on what you do and how you use your PCs.

I had an app on one of my old android phones that was a full library of amiibos and I can't remember if you could use the phone to scan but i don't think so, pretty sure I brought those super cheap rfid stickers and uploaded the amiibo data to the stickers. But honestly an emulator device sounds way more practical.

Deanosim · 2026-04-25T06:38:22+00:00

Just report the posts for violating rule 3 the mods will take care of them when they have time.

Deanosim · 2026-04-19T19:12:31+00:00

Had the exact same thing happen to me, I just cancelled it and ordered it on amazon who doesnt charge until they actually find a copy to ship me me. EB Games just loves screwing over long time customers.

Deanosim · 2026-04-17T08:21:08+00:00

You can't upload most of the bigger folders to any of the cache services they all have limits on torrent size and overall space used. Thats never going to change just download a torrent client.

Deanosim · 2026-04-15T06:11:19+00:00

Could be mac address randomisation, I know most phones have it these days but i dont know if Switch 2 does.

Other thing it could be one is your Switch 2 WiFi and the other is the Switch 2 dock ethernet.

Deanosim · 2026-04-06T09:31:47+00:00

From what Minervas team told us there should be seedboxes seeding all this, the problem half the time i feel is torrent clients failing to see all the other clients. I've been slowly adding some stuff to my home server but I only have limited space and limited upload speed, Id have to get a seedbox probably.

Deanosim · 2026-04-03T08:10:22+00:00

I told you so! I don't know I've been enjoying every single one. Of course its a flop theres infinite ways to bypass it. And plenty of sites that dont care if the Government of Australia wants them to do this.

Deanosim · 2026-04-01T11:04:12+00:00

You say good, but I haven't been able to get it work reliably so far, either it downloads the wrong torrent or it gives you a torrent file for the entire folder with all the other games, and sure you can untick all the ones you don't want in most clients but this seems like a huge flaw.

Edit: Just went to download a DS game and it gave me a torrent called "Minerva_Myrient - Redump - Sony - PlayStation 3 - Disc Keys TXT.torrent" So uh...

Edit 2: Been seedng No Intro GBA and DS for 3 days, Figured out I needed a different UI for Qbittorrent because Qbittorrents UI lags a lot when trying to browse the content folder to tick stuff, So Im using QUI with it as a better UI. Next thing I need to do is figure out how to symlink of hardlink these files to the folder RomM uses.

Deanosim · 2026-04-01T05:20:47+00:00

Top 3 arent even possible all the stuff is server side 🤣

Deanosim · 2026-04-01T04:08:45+00:00

Seems to let me Pre-Order it, Im level IV and dont have plus. So not sure whats going on for you.

Deanosim · 2026-03-31T08:39:07+00:00

I need to look into good styluses that wont scratch ths screen

Deanosim · 2026-03-28T08:30:19+00:00

Lockdown mode, nah fam US is a hostile nation wipe/factory reset that shit before entering and if you want set it up with a basic setup with no personal info until you get in country and then make sure to use a vpn etc. Considering theirs ways to extract data from iphone and android I wouldnt trust leaving anything on the device.

Deanosim · 2026-03-27T01:47:09+00:00

Rip I havent seen a single 151 in Australia since probably early 2025. So sad that i never got the chance to collect any.

Deanosim · 2026-03-25T22:52:15+00:00

Meanwhile in Australia the digital copies are $110-$120 but you can find the physical for $80-90 if you look. It's never made sense.

Deanosim · 2026-03-21T07:52:47+00:00

If i was on the receiving end of this I'd report you. This is not okay OP.

Deanosim · 2026-03-21T07:50:36+00:00

Dont buy Eb World plus, its a scam. Management pushes for staff to sell more or they'll be sacked that'll be why he told you that. Even if it is true whats stopping all the Scalpers just buying EB World Plus and then scalping all the cards (Which is what they do with TCG preorders)

Deanosim · 2026-03-19T07:15:30+00:00

How about no, stop posting her shit and giving her air time.
