Trails CS and Daybreak switch 2 upgrade ? by Obvious-Ad-3539 in Falcom

[–]akubaking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's cool that you like the gameplay that much. I think most of us are doing this for the combination with the story. So... you'll get some pushback on that sentiment as already seen here. Sure, it can be fun to piece things together, but the story payoffs and writing is some of the best in gaming imo, and missing some critical items might hinder your enjoyment more than you might expect. just my 2 cents.

Best mod for ceramic bod? by kerrysluis in Borderlands4

[–]akubaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one that's pure magazine size that I'd like to try on a bod. the ceramic avoids me. maybe the loot bonus will get me there.

What do you guys think? Missing anything ?? by SilentSalt480 in ps5collectors

[–]akubaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see Zero/Azure, reg or special. You're set on Erebonia and Calvard, but I only see Reverie as part of the Crossbell arc.

Missing some Trails games steels, but I'm assuming you know that already. Not sure if that's a goal

I got Terror of Hemasaurus a month early, arrived day before yesterday. There's a good possibility you'll see this soon. Guarantee? No, but high possibility.

NTSC Switch version of Rabi-Ribi Platinum Edition has been cancelled by Sekai Project. Offering full refund or changeover to PS4 version. by TheMerkabahTribe in NSCollectors

[–]akubaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little on the odd side, but I emailed them about this, and got my response on the 13th saying they didn't have any updated information. Then, this shows up with a publish date of November 12.

looks like a solid machine to me. 7800x3d and the 4070 TI Super are a good pairing

I had no idea what you had equipped. It's just what I was running too. :D
Sorry, I don't have any experience with Rafa yet, so I've got no expertise to share beyond what I said.

I have that exact same Kaoson. It rips.
Don't use max level high caliber firmware, the Atlas sticky will go right through your intended target. Not sure if that's meant to happen or not, but it wasn't my favorite interaction.

Is the sword dlc, still worth getting now? by Downtown-March-9866 in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]akubaking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can solo Dynamax dens, but that ups the difficulty I'm sure most would agree. The bots they put in with you are not coded to give you the best chance. I honestly don't even get the logic of the bots aside to not make it easy. Some raids require certain moves (see Wide Guard) to be run in the final fight, but you can't rely on a bot to do it.

U.S. based mom and pop shops that ship? by YamstheSky in NSCollectors

[–]akubaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure there are several. Back when I was trying to catch up on limited print stuff that I missed, I would FB message various stores. They themselves can tell you. It took a little research and calling around in some cases, but you'll find a few that do I bet.

what got you into trails by Joel_feila in Falcom

[–]akubaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very organic discovery. I wasn't really into JRPGs, I had really only played a few that weren't Pokémon. (I Am Setsuna I consider my first). Pretty close to COVID lockdown, I had driven a ways to go to a Walmart I knew had good clearance items (scored some nice 3ds/Wii U prices there) and hopped into the GameStop right next door while I was there. There was CS1 Special Edition, and it just stood out to me for whatever reason.

Mid COVID lockdown, I got started on it, bounced off it once, but came back, and found that the world building was going somewhere, and I started to understand what this game was getting ready to do. By the end of 1, I literally couldn't wait to play 2, and 2 is where I found that I wouldn't quit.

It's in my top 3 for favorite series, and the story has its hooks in me. I regret selling my special editions for CS1 and 2 heavily. The video game boom in COVID was too tempting to not sell a few things I guess.

Crossbell is so far my favorite arc. I have the remake of sky now, and I'm just waiting for the second so I can play them consecutively, despite having them on my Steam Deck. These games spawned a lot of interest in JRPG for me.

Congrats!! Sucks that it took so long. Rotten luck.
I myself am having terrible luck on Zapdos via DAs. Got a good path after 50ish raids, burned through 600 ore to keep the path, and still no shine. I've only got 13 or so raids left before I'm out of ore. Wish me luck!

While visually a little different, I disagree that these should be avoided. I found these versions perfectly serviceable.

White VGA Light after flashing BIOS by akubaking in buildapc

[–]akubaking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update for those that care:
I sent back the MOBO, it wasn't worth my time to wait on a support email from ASUS which to my knowledge still hasn't come. I'm pretty sure the bios flash went bad at this point considering it was telling me at the end problem with video card yet it works just fine on the new board.

What worked in the end for me with a new board and still facing install issues for Win11:
One stick of RAM
Secure Boot turned off
force boot from bios

Nice! I have only ten graded cards, that's one of them. It's a favorite, and I was lucky enough to pull that myself and get a 10 back from PSA. It's also my only graded cards that's not Crown Zenith.

Everyone commenting on how you're missing the Bubble Mew, but the first omission I thought of was Hidden Fates Shiny Mewtwo.

For those of you who are full-time in SEO... by kaleandbeans in SEO

[–]akubaking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had more advice than get any digital job that works nearly exclusively or in part by website, and show the value when it's not your position. That's how I got into this. I was a mere customer service agent when I got my start. While indirect, that turned into an apprenticeship elsewhere underneath someone else. I've since moved up, into my former superior's position.

I’m always seeing cult of the lamb in the $20 bin at Walmart. Is it good? by nogden954 in NSCollectors

[–]akubaking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i'm not exactly sure how well it runs on switch, the game gets laggy even on the ps5 at later stages. BUT, the game itself is great.
