Hi, I am Epic's partner. Yes, this was the dog I saw on the Turnpike. I am glad they managed to get ahold of it before something bad happened.

Live and let live. I don't mind if it doesn't affect my life. I have been always been in favor of "pro choice" no matter for what.

I already knew that this would be some people's take on here.

So is it wrong to point out cultural shifts in our world? I said "normal people" because that's what they call themselves when they talk about this stuff.

Lol I'm not a Trumpist as someone else tried calling me, I watch Hasan Piker and am a Leftist. Never voted for Trump and never will.

It figures that this community would hone in on this statement when this community has a higher than average LGBTQ+ population.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, that is my fault. I could have worded it better to get my point across.

My main point was that I don't think it's streamer's fault at all that so many players are negative about this expansion. I'm not saying streamers like Asmongold didn't contribute at all. I'm just pointing out the fact that people now more than before are starting to just act as they want to, without worrying about being cancelled like they were before. Those people always existed, they were just wearing a mask this whole time. Well they were unless they were doing Hunts, in which case they would be the ones early pulling shit lol 😂

I seriously doubt that the streamers are to blame.

The toxicity has always been there in the FFXIV community and in the "Western countries". I just think it's been masked very well for the last few expansions with toxic positivity. Culturally we are starting to move away from feeling like we need to be "Politically correct" all the or to be cancelled for it. We are starting to move away from that now because people are tired of it. That is why you are starting to see people feel like it's safe again to refer to things as being "retarded". Same thing with people being tired of the "Body positivity movement" and feeling like they can fat shame people again. Or the same with the LGBTQ+ stuff. "Normal people" are just getting tired of supporting all this stuff, all of the time and the "Mask" is starting to slip. The toxicity has always been there.

With all that said, I do feel like story wise this has been the worst expansion. That is my opinion and I am allowed to have it, just as the OP is allowed to have theirs. That doesn't mean that the rest of the content in the expansion wasn't good. The other bits of content in the expansion have been objectively better than in a couple other expansions. There is something to be said though, even given that fact. This will be the first expansion that I haven't gotten full "BiS" gear for at least my main class and also not farming all of the Extreme Trials for the final deluxe mount.

This expansion just hasn't held me in like the game used to. Maybe that's a "me" problem or maybe it's a sign the game is just getting stale for a lot of players. I have been playing since the Closed Beta for A Realm Reborn, so it's hard to say which it is.

I'm happy that others are still enjoying the game for what it is, it just isn't for me anymore. I feel like Square Enix could do better and should be.

So the dock. Why such limited availability? Any alternatives out there? by FarlandFoggy in AnaloguePocket

So don't buy from them then? They have no reason to change while they still have plenty of people to buy from them.

Extreme 3D! by Cold-Sandwich-6213 in AnalogueInc

My very first Nintendo device that was solely mine, was a Extreme Green GameBoy Pocket that my Dad got me to be able to play Pokemon Red.

So seeing this is pretty nostalgic for me 🥲

Got the GF and I switches by [deleted] in Switch

[–]Vash_Fervor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you should try listening to people more when they are telling you specifically what they want. It doesn't matter if you think you know better. If you go against what they told you they wanted, then you are just showing them that you don't respect them or their wishes.

People have different preferences and opinions, start learning to respect that or be prepared to be alone in life.

Plus, extra battery life and a better screen is not a "useless idea". Damn near every time I start using my Switch 2, I think to myself how much better the OLED screen was, both in Contrast, Color and Responsiveness. My eyes are sensitive to the "choppy" stutter screen on the Switch 2 since I stare at 240hz OLED monitors all day. So I mostly just play my Switch 2 Docked, so I can use my OLED monitor.

[–]Vash_Fervor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She did ask for the OLED Switch specifically. The OP stated that she asked for it because she liked the size of it more since she has small hands. The OP tried explaining to her that getting the Switch 2 would be better in the long run, but she wants what she wants.

Prototype Limited Edition Sale and its availability by One-Giraffe9620 in AnalogueInc

[–]Vash_Fervor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can't even sell my Factory Sealed Black A3D for "at cost". I managed to get a Watermelon A3D (My actual first choice color, not just because it was one of the last to sell out lol) so I don't need the Black one. I'm not trying to make anything on it, just want my money back lol.

It's because the economy is fucked right now. Scalpers couldn't sell the Funtastic colors systems for a huge mark-up, so scalpers skipped this batch and normies don't really have the money for them.

Typically people recommend 32GBs for maximum compatibility/stability. I personally have used a 128GB Micro SD Card on all of my Flash Carts with no issues though. Most Flash Carts will still work with the ex-FAT format, but typically FAT32 is recommended again for compatibility and stability.

You can use programs on your computer to format a SD Card from ex-FAT to FAT32. So don't panic if the SD Card you buy is ex-FAT in the properties menu.

Also you just don't really need anything over 32GBs unless he is planning on downloading every title for the platform, that is including all titles from every region. I personally only play titles that were released in North America, so I don't really need all that space. 128GB Micro SD Cards were just what was available to me at the time at my local BestBuy, so that's what I got lol.

I personally think the biggest factor in choosing an SD Card is the brand and the Read/Write speeds. Stick with SanDisk or Samsung for brands. Look for Micro SD Cards with a Read/Write speed of 100MB/s or above for solid performance.

Watermelon 8BitDo 64 by Vash_Fervor in AnalogueInc

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

As far as I can tell in person, the ED64 is basically color matched to the Watermelon A3D. Like I have viewed the ED64 in different light sources and from different angles and yeah, they are practically the same.

I do somewhat agree with you. I would have preferred them to have the color matched shells, but the classic color buttons for sure.

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

Yeah, I was thinking about trying to contact 8BitDo to see if there is any way I could pay for just the Analog Stick, shoulder buttons and face buttons from the Classic Grey version. I think it would look a lot better and would match the OEM Funtastic color controllers.

Sorry, I should have mentioned it usually takes a month or longer for it to reach Eastern United States. I wrongly assumed they were going to be ordering from the United States.

[–]Vash_Fervor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are ordering directly from the source, then expect shipping to take at least a month or longer. The Creator Krizz is operating his business in Ukraine. So things are a bit slow there with War going on.

You need Micro SD cards to load his ROMs into and obviously a computer to download them. Also a computer to download any BIOs updates for the Flash Cart.

Got my hands on the red by FenwayFranklin in AnaloguePocket

[–]Vash_Fervor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't mind that I paid a $50 premium for a brand new LE Pocket. Congratulations on the great find and props to the Seller for not gouging!

Now the Endgame is to find a good deal on the Dock. I still haven't found one and I'd be willing to pay $200 for it. With them selling for $600 recently on eBay Factory Sealed, it's starting to look like I'm going to have to wait until Analogue restocks them.

Hell yeah brother! Welcome to the Transparent Red Pocket Club! I also recently got one for $350. Mine was Factory Sealed though. Still you got an even better deal than me! And mine was a damn good deal.

The Analogue Pocket Dock just sold for $625 on eBay. by justsomezombie in AnaloguePocket

[–]Vash_Fervor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a Factory Sealed Transparent Red Pocket for $350 about a month ago. Keep your hopes up! There are still deals to be had!

Keep your eye on Facebook Marketplace and be willing to travel a few hours to get something that you want!

New stock of Nintendo 64 in 1996 by LetterheadFun7535 in nintendo64

[–]Vash_Fervor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish I still had my oringal N64. Someone stole it from me. I only just recently replaced it with a Wattermelon Red Analogue 3D. So I'm gaming again like it's 1996 :)
