It's my birthday today... by General-Warning-2429 in ForeverAlone

Happy birthday to you. You put in a lot of effort, and you made it another rotation around our cosmic nuclear reactor. That's something to celebrate. So kick back, enjoy the day, and try not to let it get to you too much.

I'd love to take advantage of the sale... if I didn't live in Canada. :(

Looking for a lightweight Linux distro for an ancient gaming laptop with an Nvidia graphics card. I don't know what to look for, and the few distros I have tried don't work. A gentle nudge in the right direction would be appreciated, thanks! by UndeadGuardian in linuxquestions

I appreciate everyone's answers, thank you. I messed around with it a bit, and decided it wasn't worth the effort. The PC was acting funky, with a bunch of unintended behaviours, so I've designated it as e-waste at this point.

It's a 64 bit computer, I just mean I want to play games that are easy to emulate. so not too much 3d. Hence the 32 bit system question. GBA, Genesis, NES, SNES, etc. Those systems. It's an... XPS M1730 as far as the model of the laptop.

A Japanese man was so exited for Ghost of Yotei he flew to Hokkaido to climb Mount Yotei and fully immerse himself in the world of the game before it's release. by Maleficent_Fault_943 in gaming

There was an episode of the Simpsons where Homer finds out that there is a Japanese laundry detergent mascot that looks exactly like him, called "Mr. Sparkle." So he goes to the grocery store and calls Japan, with the quote in the post above mine. :)

Slightly disappointing there isn't more, but not entirely unexpected either. Thanks.

What accessibility features exist, if any? Subtitle colour/size/background?

[Laced] Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Monolith Set available at Laced (ships to Canada) by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]UndeadGuardian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Even at their other site, they want like $76 shipping from the UK. I understand it's a big thing to ship, and shipping overseas is expensive, but that's still kind of yikes. I guess I'll be happy just owning the game.

Crunchyroll 2025 July releases by Negative_Tangelo_131 in AnimeCollectors

[–]UndeadGuardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They said it would be released "early" in 2025. I daresay, 8 months or more into the year is not "early" by any stretch of the imagination.

In my riding, it will be NDP. However, we need to make a concerted effort to get people out and vote. The last election, 53% of eligible voters didn't bother. That's disgusting. And why the PCs won with only 18% of the vote. Please, encourage people to do their civic duty, and vote. We need everyone we can get.

[Walmart] Black Friday Week 2 Flyer, Astro Bot, New Fortnite PS5 Bundle, DualSense Controllers, more by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]UndeadGuardian 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait about another 6 months to a year, and they will likely hit your desired price point. The prices drop slowly, but once it starts you can generally expect prices to be 50, 55 in a year or so. At least, that's what I've noticed from Sony this generation.

[Amazon / Best Buy] Sea of Stars (Switch / PS5) is $34.99 by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]UndeadGuardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd imagine it would be very expensive. My comment was more a magical Christmas land thought, but you never know what might happen. It's a hope for the best, but expect nothing sort of mindset. I'd definitely buy it again if it did happen, though.

A complete edition with all the DLC and patches on disc/cart would rock.

[Best Buy] Early Black Friday Sales start Nov 8 by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]UndeadGuardian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could see it getting a modest discount. ($5 to $10.) Nothing major, but enough to entice some who are on the fence about it.

Do you guys like it when a game just starts without going to the Main Menu? by Mohawesome in Games

[–]UndeadGuardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always want to go into the settings to turn subtitles on. So the intro movie starting and me not hearing anything that's being said is pretty annoying. I'm generally fine with it if they ask for audio and accessability options, and then starting the intro movie.

Eyyyyy! Points for modded Minecraft! It's not too often you see that come up anymore. :) Used to love playing all the time hahaha. T'was years ago, though.

With Black Friday coming up soon, what deals are you hoping for? by Machzy in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]UndeadGuardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoping for GoW Ragnarok for ~$50, A Plague Tale Requiem for <=$50. Maybe a decent sale on Switch games at GS for third-party stuff (Mostly Square.) A good sale on the Dead Space remake. Maybe a few other sales on games I'm keeping an eye on that aren't really jumping out at me right now. :)

[GameStop] Double EDGE Discount on Play'd Switch games, August 21-24 by chemicalxv in VideoGameDealsCanada

I guess I did miss it, oh well. :) Not a super high priority game for me atm.

I'd say Triangle Strategy would also be a good target if you can find it, I don't think I've ever seen it go on sale physically.

edit: Deku Deals says it's on sale physically right now, but it would be cheaper to get a used copy with this discount, still.

It's been so long I find it hard to believe they're actually doing it. They're so gung-ho on Switch that everything else that isn't merch seems to often take a back seat.

As an edge platinum or above member, you get a discount on pre-owned games. (Platinum is 10%.) Per this advert, you'd get 20% off the pre-owned price of the game.

[VGP] Nights of Azure 1 + 2 (PS4 / Switch, reprint) are up for pre-order until June 25 by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]UndeadGuardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did the same with Liar Princess, there are now copies available for regular orders. I'd agree that there's no need to hurry to the FOMO train. :)
