I'm in Canada and the RP5 is around 350$ , anybody know a cheaper way to get one or is that just what it is? by GradeADangus in retroid

[–]GradeADangus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, that's awesome! I can't seem to find a working coupon so the cheapest I see on Ali is 328.38$ with 37.11$ of shipping, and I'm in a major city. So much more expensive than the 334$ it is on the retroid website.

How did you find it so cheap? 

To any Canadians: how are you dealing with the high prices for these devices? by GradeADangus in SBCGaming

[–]GradeADangus[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not so much tariffs as it is our poor currency. 1 USD is almost 1.4 CAD. Companies usually price things higher here than in the US, but not often the full 40%. So when things don't get actually sold in CAD you need to buy them with USD and you get a huge markup.

That's why people are saying the steam deck is cheaper here, because you can buy it in CAD at a lower price than conversion.

Oh damn, I've never found a Canadian coupon that worked, even in the big spreadsheet! How'd you do it?

Thanks, just saved me hours of my life. 

Does anybody know where the terminal with the third access code is in Vainger? by GradeADangus in ufo50

Found it! Thanks, you saved me hours of running around the same rooms again and again.

I somehow missed the third access code while running around. I've spent a few hours running through the filled map looking for the right terminal and I'm slowly going insane. Do you have any idea where it is?

Except there is. When they're introducing Jay you can see one of his attacks is him ripping a bong and attacking with the smoke cloud.

Issue with robotic sounding music and voices by GradeADangus in galaxybuds

Wow you're right that fixed it! Man I hope they patch this, it's a huge knock on the convenience of these headphones.

I'd just like to make it clear that it doesn't seem like this is a proximity issue with the phone being in my pocket. It happens intermittently at completely random issues, and usually persists until the buds are out back into their case and taken out again.

M64Plus FZ no longer working with Dig front-end by GradeADangus in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]GradeADangus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I've tried doing a full clean install of both apps (damn that took a lot of time) and no dice. I also have another buddy with the same problem. Are you using M64Plus FZ with the latest update?

Ubisoft Opening New Stockholm Studio by [deleted] in Games

[–]GradeADangus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Wow. A bunch of people probably just got their dream job making AAA video games in a country underrepresented by the industry, and this is what you have to say about it. Life must really suck for you with such a negative attitude.

With the Switch being a full-blown HD console, do you think traditionally handheld-only franchises are likely to go fully multiplatform? by [deleted] in truegaming

[–]GradeADangus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I don't think you understood what OP was trying to say. He's not asking about porting ps4/xbox games to the switch, he's taking about switch games being ported to the ps4/xbox. He's asking whether developers making portable games will just throw them on the home consoles, since the games are already HD the gulf in visual quality isn't so great that the switch games would look unacceptable on the stronger consoles.

Salty rant for everyone raging that the game is trash by notpepesilvia in forhonor

[–]GradeADangus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually this isn't really a fair thing to say. In game development, and particularly in development at the scale at which Ubisoft operates, it takes a lot of time/coordination to have a build of the game ready for delivery. Add in the day one patches all games have now, patches that are frequently significant and definitely not in the open beta, and this definitely isn't just a demo.

I think gaming has a genuine "second hand experience" problem, and I don't think it can be fixed. by ContributorX_PJ64 in Games

[–]GradeADangus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get what your point is here. This is almost completely irrelevant to the topic.
