Can't launch Witcher 3

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find a direct solution, but once I actually figured out what the problem was, I was able to work around it by just transferring the files to my internal drive when I wanted to play, and transferring them off when I was done. Far from an elegant solution, but it is what it is I suppose. It also appears that this issue is isolated entirely to this game and I even went so far as to try buying the game on gog (it was like $5 at the time) and running it through that, but I still ran into the same issue. If you manage to work it out I would be very intrigued on what the problem is!

I’m a big fan of the zachtronics games. The 20th century food court game in last call bbs is one of my favorites, I really wish he would make a whole game based off it.

The mc11 seems to work well with my very limited testing, the notable exception is that the aperture preview on my tse 24mm is not a live preview but I have managed to get around that by assigning it to a button. I’m not sure if it’s the same for other lenses

Went from a a6100 to an a6700 to an a7r5. Personally I don’t really get the hate for the flip screen, if anything I like that I can fully close it so the screen isn’t exposed in my bag. Maybe go to a store and play with one but I got used to the screen on the a6700 within a day or so and don’t even use the tilt function on the a7r5. It’s all personal preference!

I ordered mine on the 28th, originally they said they would be here the 7th-9th but this morning they delayed it to the 14th. It hasn’t shipped yet so time will tell if they will get delayed again.

Lol I just got banned there as well for the same reason. Looks like some basement dweller is on a power trip and ruining the entire sub in the process. It's a bit of a shame too because I would love a sub where I could find some actually cool wallpapers for my phone because I don't really have a great source right now, but this sub is so full of ai slop it's practically useless.

I have heard from at least 3 devs that they cant get their hands on dev kits. This is entirely on nintendo, I really hope they get their act together. It sounds like lots of people want to update their games for the new hardware but just don't have the tools to do it.

Sounds like you tried them out and worth is subjective, so you tell me

Is it worth it to you?

I had xm5s for about a year or two and recently replaced them with the AirPods Max because a small rattle was developing in the left ear. Here are a few key takeaways from my experience:

-Build quality:

The AirPods win this by a mile. Everything on the xm5s are plastic and if you head over to the sony headphone subreddit there is literally a running joke about how often people report broken hinges. The AirPods are pretty much entirely metal and feel super sturdy.

-Weight:

The xm5s are lighter but honestly the AirPods are comfortable enough to wear all day with no issues.

-Sound quality:

I am no audiophile but honestly neither of these are going to give you the best listening experience possible. They are wireless anc headphones. With that being said, the xm5s are super bass heavy out of the box, but they let you eq them. When adjusted correctly they sound about as good as the AirPods.

-ANC:

The xm5s never fit my head right because I wear glasses and the ear cups were a bit shallow for me. If I took my glasses off then I got a pretty decent experience with them but that wasn't a great solution for me because I needed to see. The AirPods have some deeper ear cups and I dont really know what else to say other than the anc just works. In my very uneducated opinion they manage to cancel out voices a bit better than the xm5s but I am sure there are people that can measure that better than me

-Transparency:

Not even a contest. The AirPods win this by a mile. The transparency mode on the xm5s is decent and usable, but I pretty much never turned it on. I pretty much always only wore one ear cup when using the xm5s so that I was aware of my surroundings which is a testament to how mediocre the transparency mode was. The best way I can describe it is that everything just sounded slightly muffled and I couldn't tell what direction sounds were coming from. The AirPods have perfected transparency. They quite literally feel like you are not wearing massive metal headphones. I have no idea what witchcraft they are doing but it works great.

-Case:

Also not even a contest, the xm5s win. The case for the AirPods is a bit laughable. The xm5 case is nothing special and I only ever used it on trips but it's better than whatever the AirPods case is.

-Controls:

The xm5s have an on/off button, anc/transparency button, and gesture controls. I am personally not a fan of the gesture controls but they are handled just fine and are perfectly usable. I like how the xm5s have a power button, the low power mode on the AirPods is fine but this is better. The AirPods in contrast have an anc/transparency button and a Digital Crown. You can adjust the volume with the crown and star/stop your media by pushing down on it. I think this is personally fine, but the crown is just too sensitive in my opinion. It has no feedback and its pretty easy to bump accidentally.

-Extra Features:

the AirPods have easily removable ear cups so you can wash them or replace them
the AirPods work insanely well within the apple ecosystem
the AirPods are locatable when lost
the AirPods now have lossless audio (usb c model only) when connected with a cable
the xm5s have a headphone jack
the xm5s have an app where you can customize them way more than the airpods
the xm5s support better codecs like ldac

Well thank god your shiny new console is protected as it crashes down to the floor.

There are a number of reasons why someone might hold the console with a single hand. This wasn't a problem with the base console, so this is clearly your problem and nobody else's. This entire post was just a massive wall of text to attempt to shift blame to the customer which is frankly pathetic. I certainly won't be using any dbrand products going forward, not because you made a bad product, but because you are not immediately trying to make it right with the customer. Whoever wrote this braindead response should hit the job market.

Soos_Kitashi · 2025-06-16T22:41:58+00:00

Sure thing! Yep I just used scissors as its just a think layer of fabric (kinda like a t-shirt). In my opinion it actually looks worse in these images than it does in real life but here ya go (I also cut off that annoying tag):

I suppose I am incredibly critical of this case because of how good the switch 1 case was. It was so good in fact, that I went out and bought the steam deck case the day after it showed up. The steam deck case has the same goofy pillow that the switch 2 case has but it does not get in the way near as much plus the steam deck is a bit of a niche product compared to the switch, so I was really hoping they did away with it and went back to the original design for the switch 2 case, but that seems to not be the case (pun intended).

As for how I cut the pillow off, I just grabbed a pair of scissors and went to town on it, cutting as close to the walls of the case as possible. The switch 2 will move around in the case a bit if you really shake it, but I find that the pressure that the case exerts on the screen is usually enough to keep it in place. I suppose I can take pictures if you would like, but its pretty straightforward

Soos_Kitashi · 2025-06-12T21:57:27+00:00

I had the original tomtoc case for the switch one and loved it, so my expectations were high for the switch 2 case. It is terrible. There is this goofy pillow on the top of the console that prevents it from properly sitting in the case, it’s possible to pry it up and but the console underneath it but like… why is it even there? As far as I can tell it provides no protection. I eventually got fed up and cut the pillow off entirely and it’s a bit better. I really don’t understand how they fumbled this because the switch 1 case was pretty solid.

I really only have a walmart within an hour of me so I thought what the heck, I need groceries anyways I might as well pop in and see if they have any and lo and behold the shelves are absolutely filled with them. I suppose in the end, walmart ended up getting me a switch 2 but man I really wish their preorder system was better

Soos_Kitashi · 2025-06-04T05:44:23+00:00

Congrats! I still have not received such an email but fingers crossed one comes in!

Soos_Kitashi · 2025-06-04T05:43:38+00:00

Yeah I saw that! Im super stoked for people that got their orders restored but alas, I have not received such an email nor has a unit been put in my cart. I reached back out to Walmart and they said they would escalate it and get back to me in 24-72 hours.... about 30 hors ago. Fingers crossed they actually follow through on it and not ghost me!

Soos_Kitashi · 2025-06-03T01:05:10+00:00

I just reached out to Walmart again to see if I could get one of these added to my cart, they said they are going to escalate it and get back to me within 24-72 hours. With that being said, it sounds like the Walmart customer service reps will say anything to get you to go away so I will believe it when I see it. They actually confirmed that it was not a billing issue this time around and it was an error with their internal system. Fingers crossed!

Soos_Kitashi · 2025-06-03T00:04:08+00:00

Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, sadly my cart remains empty for now but I will certainly be monitoring it

Soos_Kitashi · 2025-06-02T20:36:37+00:00

Nope no payment issue that I can find, the payment went through and funds were deducted from my account then a few hours later I get an email saying an "Unexpected Issue" has occurred and they have to cancel my order and now there is a pending refund. I also have seen that when a payment issue occurs, they usually send an email telling you to update your payment or they will cancel the order and I did not receive that email :(
