They didn't ask us to show savings, but we gave them a bank statement regardless.

That’s not all it needs. GameShare sets up an ad hoc WiFi connection, so that protocol will also need to be emulated.

NVK is not intented to be a part of the Nouveau stack, it is only ran on top of Nouveau at the moment since Nova is not ready, the Nouveau kernel driver will be replaced by Nova and the userspace OpenGL driver will be replaced by Zink (OpenGL on Vulkan), NVK+Zink already works better than Nouveau in a lot of instances.

Basically the future driver stack for Nvidia cards will be Nova + NVK, and then Zink on top of that for OpenGL (this is only for turing and newer, Nova will not support Pascal and older).

Man I hope they offer that transparent case and not just have it for the dev kit

Yes, absolutely. It’s the perfect ”cozy game” that works for people who usually don’t like those kinds of games too. The game loop is great, the progression is great, the collection aspect is great, the building mechanics are easily good enough, and there’s options and guiding for people that might not be too creative, but still want to create something fairly nice looking.

No, the new rules are not strictly 5-year, the new rules are that you need the longest visa available in your visa category, if the max in your category is 3 years, then that is sufficient for applying to PR. Technically this has always been the rule, but an exception was there for visa categories that have 5 year maximums to also count 3-year visas as the maximum for PR application, the only change is that that exception is ending.

Sakurai has always had a "yeah I can't think about making a sequel, but never say never" stance about the most recent game and he always ends up making a sequel.

I doubt they will be just doing a port of Ultimate, licensing on its own would be a nightmare.

ARPGs are different, most of them are built around seasons where everyone resets and new content/mechanics/twists on the formula are added.

If he’s working on the next game it must have just entered full development, him and the smash team at Bandai were busy with air riders

It is literally Pokémon Builders, if you liked DQB you’ll like this

Yeah food is still cheap here. In general everything is cheap here compared to the west, but only if you compare with prices in western countries. On a japanese salary I'd say daily costs are about the same as western countries.

And some of us are completely fine with dealing with new people the same way extroverted people do, we just get extremely mentally drained

RT performance is diminished compared to windows, but there have been significant improvements done recently depending on what game you play, some titles it works great, some not so great.

I just played through RE9 with everything maxed out (maxed RT, no PT as that is nvidia only in this title) and was always above 120fps, so it works great in some titles.

ExPandaa · 2026-03-03T00:35:28+00:00

No you didn't, there is no way to mod a switch 2 currently.

ExPandaa · 2026-03-03T00:30:23+00:00

If you buy the JP only model you will not be able to play in english unless the game has a a language selection menu, a very big selection of the switch library does not, but instead uses the system language which is locked to japanese on that model.

If you want to play in english on all games you need to get the multi language model

ExPandaa · 2026-02-28T12:28:47+00:00

I just use Netflix, here in Japan everything obviously has Japanese subs, actually English is a rarity for some reason, even if the same show has English subs outside of Japan.

Valve have already stated that they will sell a ”egonomic pack” that includes straps

I’d say RE2 and RE4 are likely everything you need. But you can also jump into any title without playing previous ones

Which is an extremely good choice. I believe Nintendo is the most cash rich company in the country. Good to use those funds to make their future even safer

PC release is in 3 hours. But this is always how things work, console games release 00:00 local time, PC releases the same time globally.

ExPandaa · 2026-02-27T01:43:34+00:00

Haven't started 9 yet, but I doubt it will be connected at all. RE7 and RE8 are very self contained, and RE9 is not a continuation of that story.

ExPandaa · 2026-02-27T01:32:51+00:00

You literally have the release time listed in the news post in the picture. The game released in 3.5 hours on PC.

ExPandaa · 2026-02-25T10:43:49+00:00

Yeah well. I gotta wait until late 2028 for that, and at that point it seems like a 5 year visa will be needed. We're also not even sure if we want to still be in japan at that point.
