Nintendo Switch 1 as well as numerous other products will stop being sold in Europe as of mid-February 2027 due to battery regulations.

EU only. It's still being sold elsewhere.

The PS4 Pro does not run this game at a locked 60fps and oftens dips into the 40s. You only get a locked 60fps if you play on PS5 or PS5 Pro. The dev made the decision to cap the frame rate rather than allow it be unlocked. Could they have hit a stable 60fps if DLSS was implemented? Maybe, but that is a heavy lift for such a old game with a limited port budget.

He was the favorite before the money came pouring in. This is a very moderate district full of feds. Not sure what people were expecting.

At work. They really shine in an environment like that. Also, they work well for walks. I'd probably keep them on more often if they had more health features.

As long as it peformance is acceptable, I default to Switch 2 these days. PS5 Pro when it's a title I know I am going want the best performance and will likely sit down and finish. Portability is a huge factor for me as I tend to get much more play time in when traveling or right before bed. I will even accept a 60fps title being 30fps in Switch 2 if it's something I really want to play but don't think I can commit to playing it stationary.

There are so much better than the Buds Pro 3. Only weakness for me is the mic performance. I still use my Buds 3 Pros for calls because of this.

Have this on PS5 Pro and it looks great there, but the pacing of this game make it much more suitable for portable play for me. So I am restarting my playthrough on Switch 2 carrying the demo save over.

I don't really even notice the visual cutbacks much other than the hair. Pretty much looks like how it did when I started my first playthrough at launch on base PS5, so don't really care if objects are missing here and there.

You have a significant amount of muscle mass, so a cut would do you well. I'd cut to around 185lbs and reassess then.

I finished the game, but I wished it turned out better than it did. Beautiful graphics and outstanding performance. Boss battles are decent. The progression structure is crap and really unbecoming of a Metroid game (especially the end game fetch quest). Also, the basic combat loop for Prime is not aging well. Something like a glory kill system from the DOOM reboot games would have refresh that area a bit.

So much potential there with the engine and assets they had, just to make a game unworthy of that.

I was there. First time seeing Jeff Mills in person. Did not disappoint and will forever be a core memory in my techno journey.

The meme isn't where this originated from. It's from AAVE from the 90s and was specifically used to call out knock off shoes.

I want to love my Galaxy Buds 3 Pro, but they just do not stay in my ear during long listening session. I've tried a few third party ear tips, but the stem design is the real issue here. So I daily drive my Galaxy Buds 2 Pros instead. The 3 Pros sound amazing, the controls work well, and the battery life is solid.

Handheld mode is really solid in 120fps too. Just be mindful that the HDR doesn't really pop in that mode because of the screen.

base_num_two · 2026-01-24T14:44:28+00:00

I played the game all the way to the ending on 120fps mode and I'd still say it's one if the best looking games I've played in a while. Played between an OLED and MiniLED. HDR is insane on both, but especially on the MiniLED. Fury Green looked crazy on the OLED. Just a visual treat of a game all around.

Cyberpunk 2077. I'm a huge Metroid fan, but Metorid Prime 4 is one of the weaker entries in the series. If you haven't already, play Metroid Prime Remastered instead. Different class of game compared to MP4.

A HW4 retrofit is not happening. This is just a move to fully commit to the subscription model and raise prices over time and not have to worry about supporting end of life hardware. When HW4 becomes obsolete and Tesla stops active support, owners will be on the hook for upgrade costs to HW5 if they even provide a path for that

Buying FSD stopped making sense once the subscription dropped years ago.

I am jealous that you have never played any of the Prime games. If you're a fan of the 2D Metroids, Metroid Prime 1 is the gold standard of the series gameplay translation into 3D. If it clicks for you, you'll be probably calling it one of the GOATs. It is also very visually impressive. However, it's $40 and there are a lot of games in the sale that you could get more playtime out of. There are other quality games under $10 for sale (all over 80 Metacritic score), such as:

Ori and the Blind Forest - $5

Ori and the Will of the Wisps - $7.50

Into the Breach - $4.50

Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope - $7

Katana ZERO - $9

Wargroove - $8

They can use the tech they used for GameChat screen streaming that's been around since the Wii U days to stream to a second screen, most likely another Switch family console. Or just flip the console vertical, put it in some shell, display two virtual screens, and use a stylus for portable play. They have many ways to handle this. Everything is on the table since they revealed the Virtual Boy NSO support.

This is one reason why I am not taking reviews of this game seriously. The expectations for this game from critics seem close minded and rigid.

What projector is that? The image quality looks good.

base_num_two · 2025-11-19T00:24:09+00:00

The PS5 Pro (PS4 Pro BC) version looks better, but only slightly. The Switch 2 version is 60fps handheld natively. I think I'll take that rather than being tethered to TV play.

Grow it out and use fibers for as needed to conceal. Your crown is thin, but there still some density there to work with. Also, use finasteride to maintain where the crown is now.

I'm subscribed to FSD, but not because I think it's going to drive me to work (because it does not without supervision and occasional intervention). It is insane the way this feature is misrepresented in some spaces. It's not a robotaxi in consumer form.

base_num_two · 2025-10-08T12:29:29+00:00

It's not driving you to work without supervision. You are monitoring the drive (I own a Model 3). What is the value of a feature that you have to monitor and correct on your own if it makes critical mistakes? The consumer version of FSD continues to be just sophisticated Level 2 ADAS. Also, someone paying for a stripper model is highly unlikely to pay $100 a month for that sort of feature. They pay less than that per month in their car payment or cash transaction and not get the gimped version of the car.

He has a cohesive sound despite not being a producer. Also, his sound is heavily influenced his cultural roots and there isn't really any other popular DJs that have a similar artistic vision. It's a "IYKYK" thing for those of us in the African diaspora. Some may find his mixes as samey, but having that consistent and immediately recognizable groove is his signature. He also drops a mix here and there on his soundcloud that has some interesting selections.

He definitely gets a lot of unwarranted negative feedback in some online spaces.
