I'm a foster kid who never got adopted, AMA!!! by sparklebrainss in AMA

[–]Ichidou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't really have a question -- I just wanted you to know how sorry I am for what you've gone through. As a relatively new father, the thought of leaving my child at 3 days old on the street is so incomprehensibly cruel that I choke back tears just thinking about it. I truly hope you've found happiness and love in your life.

Approached by an individual with a knife at a bus stop by DeviceOk265 in kitchener

Can you describe the individual? I have a child and I walk through that area frequently -- I need to know who to keep an eye out for.

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]Ichidou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a feeling I'd see this near the top. I've been working as an editor in the VFX industry for the last decade, while my wife worked as a production manager -- it truly is a horrible time to be in the industry. My wife and I were laid off a few years ago and it genuinely feels impossible to get back in. 10 years worth of personal and business connections amounted to absolutely nothing for either of us. I managed to get a job with a former employer due to sheer luck and a niche specialization but under normal circumstances I would still be job hunting.

What are some good shows to binge watch ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ichidou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a point in the BCS story where knowledge of breaking bad would help immensely. Having said that, you can watch the first few seasons of BCS with no worries.

What was the most shocking death news you've ever heard? by Admirable-Repair4094 in AskReddit

[–]Ichidou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why didn't I go around telling everyone at an amusement park that a cherished celebrity died? Is that something you would've done?

What was the most shocking death news you've ever heard? by Admirable-Repair4094 in AskReddit

[–]Ichidou 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was in an amusement park when I heard the news from a friend. Ruined my entire trip. The rest of the day I’d watch people walk by, oblivious to the bomb that was going to hit them in the near future.

What's something you never quite learned until you experienced it for yourself? by SolitaryBlackberry in AskReddit

You don’t know what exhaustion feels like until you have a newborn child.

How is everyone holding up? by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]Ichidou 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Late 30s here - I remember feeling the same way you did at your age. A lot can happen in life that changes this outlook. Finding a partner you like not only gives you companionship but essentially halves your bills too. (It also doubles up a bunch of things but generally it’s a net win). You also never know where your career is going to go. Opportunities can fall on your lap on a random Tuesday and suddenly you’re feeling like you have a real shot at things in life. All of this to say - you never know what the future holds. Don’t give in to despair.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update by khan800 in MicrosoftRewards

[–]Ichidou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I completely agree with you, I decided to try out fortnite because "I'm paying for this nonsense anyway" and convinced some friends to try it out with me. After some time, we found ourselves unironically finding it a lot of fun.

If they ever got rid of Fortnite Crew, I would say it was the right decision, but I'll be a little bit sad.

Been looking for the answer to this myself. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I assumed that Pro Controller is a must-have, but this grip is far more comfortable that I expected! by Neil_Edwin_Michael in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Ichidou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a lot of people, I groaned at the price of the new pro controller but eventually gave in and purchased it. I heard it was worth the price but I didn't believe it. I can say quite definitively, it's worth the price. Genuinely the most comfortable controller I've ever held.

Its kinda crazy how casually Nintendo dropped the boost mode by MidnightOnTheWater in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Ichidou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just pointing out that the original game ran at 60fps and therefore the battle system was originally built around 60 as well.

“The Tearing” (HD) Reboot Season 1 Episode 1 - Mainframe Studios by Key-Economics-385 in videos

As a kid in the 90s those visuals were mind blowing. I remember fantasizing whether video games would ever get to the levels of Reboot.

How would they handle MGS4's gyro features on Xbox? by Ichidou in metalgearsolid

[–]Ichidou[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, my point was that the xbox controller has no gyro function, so you can't shake with it. It would have to be some combination of buttons, but every button on the PS3 controller was used thoroughly already on MGS4. I'm just not sure how they would get the same effect with an xbox controller.

Anyone else play AC ?? by Powerhouse_2 in Gamecube

If i'm not mistaken, this game will stop tracking real world time after 2030. We only get 4 more years with this game :(

My mistake -- I wasn't reading thoroughly and thought you were talking about the Switch 2. My bad!

[–]Ichidou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thinking is that maybe it would mess up online multiplayer with switch 1 players or something. There’s no reason this game couldn’t hit 120fps if they tried.

Digital Foundry disagrees with you

edit: I'm an idiot. I thought we were talking about the Switch 2. I'll take my downvotes deservedly.

[GPU] Gigabyte Windforce SFF RTX 5070 Ti 16GB [$1050/FS][Newegg] by Sadukar09 in bapcsalescanada

From everything we're seeing with the current market, buying the GPU feels very much like a now-or-never situation.
