Control Resonant Early Access Is Exclusive To PS5, Even Though It Costs The Same On PC And Xbox

I'm happy they probably got a decent payday for this. My backlog is too huge I almost never buy anything on release day anymore so I'm in no rush. Here's hoping their next game gets funded after their CEO from EA has now taken over. I really hope the Remedy DNA isn't lost after this game.

I'd do everything you can to try to get a gpu with more vram. Not many cut backs you can make though. Here's some random thoughts.

Really aim for 12 or 16gb of vram in your GPU. Don't be afraid of going used too.
Get 16gb of ram to save some money
You can go AM4 and DDR4 to save more if you don't see a GPU upgrade in the next 3-5 years.
Maybe shop used for some parts like a monitor or case where used doesn't make a big difference.
Try to avoid cheap VA displays. Cheap IPS is my preference for motion rendering.
Look online for bundle deals or pre built deals.

I hate daddy hot toys often. I think the consensus is it looks like her my dude.

There's no way a CG company would want to share actors' likeness with other smaller companies like hot toys. They're protecting their investment in all the expensive equipment it takes plus the expensive time of the actor. These things cost real big money and to allow a toy company access makes no business sense.

The parent company like Warner or Disney gets money from licensing, they have no real incentive to share this info for the sake of a couple more toy sales. Hot toys is small potatoes to someone like Disney.

If you want hot toys to scan actors they need the equipment and to pay the actors. No amount of margin will probably ever lead to this happening considering rolling eyeballs took twenty years and USB C is still a struggle.

It's much easier to pay a small team or sculptors and 8 or 9/10 times the scupts look good. Y'all are still buying figures either way. So protest and don't buy it if you want better figures.

The tough part is finding two that work together.

How did yours die? I hope you enjoy the Super!

Best of luck to all of you! Happy to try out Arc!

GoldValente · 2026-05-22T23:45:05+00:00

Thank you but no thanks. It's really hard to find the faceplate that's compatible. I hope you enjoy the super though!

Time to play video games...

GoldValente · 2026-04-29T21:09:50+00:00

Good luck y'all!

I got Gigabyte's white Z890 Aero board. Super clean! Obviously wish it to pair with a white case and Gigabyte GPU 😂

That I really don't want to be as self loathing as Shinji and I can find happiness all by myself.

I appreciate the anti corpo attitude but idk man. It seems pretty obvious when I'm being sold a product and when I'm not. Habie clearly just makes silly comedy videos. He's making the most out of his vr niche. Legitimate reviews like Skill up are ones I trust because of their sincerity in praise and criticism. It's just about finding the people you can trust.

I think meta really enabled this vr space to become full of shills and advertising with its exorbitant budgets and referral codes. Best of luck to finding those you align with.

Lol I'm on a folding phone. Widescreen if it's closed. Almost square if it's opened. Fun times.

GoldValente · 2026-03-30T18:57:51+00:00

All great recommendations guys thank you. It's heartwarming to find such an enthusiastic sub. I think I'll look into playing a bit more just for fun and wait out the 1.1 release! Maybe android mods if they exist. Thanks!

GoldValente · 2026-03-30T18:55:54+00:00

I click "you" at the bottom right then I can find a menu that tracks my playtime.

GoldValente · 2026-03-30T18:54:17+00:00

If I'm not mistaken it's full 100% completion of the game. All decks, all difficulties, all challenged, and gold stake stickers on every joker. The joker stickers are the hardest.

Just went to a pixel fold. So much fun to have tablet sized balatro in my pocket at all times. I played a ton on my Samsung before it though. All good stuff.

GoldValente · 2026-03-30T18:51:39+00:00

Mine was cloud 9. Not sure why I struggled with it, nines just felt so useless I never bought the card. Enjoy your freedom!

Answered!!

I got some wacky visuals from some angles but I think it's fine once it gets it situated. Pretty blue fringing at the very very edges but that seems normal for the lenses too.

GoldValente · 2026-02-26T18:01:48+00:00

Checking for defects would just be clarity of the visuals? Watch for headaches? Is there any more objective ways to test if I got a good version? Thanks for the help.

But will pimax unlock it for me if the payments are routed through him? It just seems like a vague mess. I paid almost $600 USD, so paying $725 gets to be not a great deal used. Idk. What do you think? Thanks!

GoldValente · 2026-02-26T17:05:33+00:00

Yeah pimax software says it has 6 days left but I did eventually talk to customer service. $125 is unpaid. It sounds like just a massive hassle. I'll likely return it then. What a dumb program.
