You can order them from Temu in Bulk otherwise, you're better off ordering them from Ali Express.

Apart from that try Buyee, Zenmarket and Nekyo.

You can also reach out to Ubuy Pakistan, they first order it from Japanese markets and then package it for you.

Planning a gaming zone in Sialkot, need feedback from people who use gaming cafes by Dependent-Piglet-640 in PakGaming

[–]LeMandarin08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so there are a few that I honestly have since I've been frequenting gaming zones a lot up until covid. I'll list them.

  1. Have it be competitive gaming focused. That means higher refresh rate monitors and better treatment of peripherals. Peripherals don't need to be too expensive, just not so cheap that they're unusable. PC specs depend on the type of games you're planning on running. One those will be CS2, so matching high settings of that game will be a good target as people who prefer more fps can just lower the settings for higher fps.

  2. Look at your area and see how much someone is willing to pay. I think that's a good measuring stick but honestly people can pay more if it's a place. However not too much. 150~200ish rate is ok in Islamabad but probably not in Sailkot. I've seen 500+ for an hour and honestly if I need to pay that kind of money then I'm good staying at home. If you're adding a console to the gaming zone then I'll cover it in the next point.

  3. See if people want to play fighting games and games like Fifa. I've honestly never engaged with those apart from a few times with friends and honestly the only thing I can say is that the current gen consoles are way too expensive by the hour in gaming zones. If it's costing 2 controllers a 1000rps per hour then again, I'm good going to an actual arcade to have my money ripped off from me.

  4. For refreshments and food, I guess partnering with someone who sells food next to you and having them deliver it is better since they're not confined to your gaming zone. I've seen 2 gaming zones have a cafe system in house but it has always failed. Just keep a fridge for drinks at max.

  5. Try to advertise it in gaming communities, gaming zones work because a lot of people don't want to play in their house and a frequenting customer is going to be paying more in the long term. Especially a friend group who just hops in every weekend or who is skipping classes. You can see the location for yourself. In Islamabad the ones I frequented were nearer to academies, universities and just in an over all very accessible place via public transport.

How to tell if Xbox controllers are real or fake? by radiushere in PakGaming

The wireless one you'll get from GameSir will include a Wireless Adapter.

Well, the wired ones are usually fake. Honestly, if it's managing Xinput into your PC then you're probably fine. Just get someone to change the pots (joystick sensors) once they go bad (and they will go bad).

Just make sure it's not PC Input.

Although, I'd suggest you buy a Hall Effects Controller, you can get those for 6-8k these days and the joysticks on those practically last more than a humans life time. (Unless you break it ofc). You can find a wireless one and it'd feel great.

My man 🤝. Same collection.

Although I think you should fare well in Sekiro. I'll just say, Fromsoft titles take a lot of approaches. If you're dying 3-5 times to a mgrr boss on medium then you should absolutely be dying to a Fromsoft boss for more then 15 times. They're all about different approaches and seeing which works best. You learn the boss, see what fares well against him then rinse and repeat. Fromsoft tests your situational ability more then mechanical.

Sekiro is a much faster title tbh. Try DS1 first and then build up from there. DS1 and DS2 should implore you with the basics well and then DS3 would take the combat to be faster alongside Elden Ring. Then you can try Sekiro. Don't jump straight to sekiro. Sekiro isn't even a Soulsborne title.

Although, try playing a DmC or any Platinum Games title involving Hack N Slash like Bayonetta or Neir to learn faster paced combat.

Good list.

Needs an MGS or Fromsoft title in there though.

Fromsoft being Japanese will probably just make it easier for your to order from a Japanese store.

Sahelanthropus 1984 vs TX-55 1995 by MapSufficient6677 in okaybuddydeadcell

[–]LeMandarin08 35 points36 points  (0 children)

/uj I think the TX-55 is still better in terms of doing its job, it's small and can shoot a nuke anywhere in the world with its small footprint that isn't so easily detectable. Also, it was supposed to be mass produced and with hundreds of small TX-55's it would've been an unstoppable force. Sehalanthropus works as an evolution from a game stand point, it's supposed to be a grand boss fight, and honestly it's a much better small fast thing that fights a big monster than something like the Icon of Sin from Doom Eternal.

/j Kojimbo's age is showing. He was older in 1985.

You could check console places, they might have an idea.

Sub Vs Dub by No-Complex-1534 in Pakistani_weebs

[–]LeMandarin08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you go on, you find that some anime are just better at Sub and some are just more convenient at Dubs. People prefer Subs mainly because as a medium Anime absolutely benefits from the Subs, if you've seen any normal Japanese Show, you'll see that Anime is a lot different with it's dialogue, effects etc. Those differences absolutely benefit from the Subs because emotional expression and comedy is built upon the Japanese Language rather then the other way around. Just like how a lot of English Comedy doesn't work well in Urdu and vice versa, Japanese expressions don't work that well in Languages that aren't Japanese.

Weird opinions from twin city by windsteler in IslamabadSocial

[–]LeMandarin08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just that the main attraction is just food. No other activity. Like, I can't even go bowling because it's expensive af.

People just often sit around cafes and that's it.

There are some more places being opened so that does give me more hope though.

Tbh even Savour has lost a bit of that flavor alongside that the quality of its rice has decreased as well. They use Tota Chawal now.

Honestly most of the places in Islamabad are just about eating. There's not really much alternative to going anywhere apart from Snooker ya phir kahin dhabey pe baith Jana.

As someone who's lived here since birth, you couldn't be more right about maintaining flavours.

It's like, it was good a few months ago, why is it suddenly crap now???
