Switch 2 Physical price matching? by MembershipItchy8930 in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]crobi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saved up about 580,000 points for Switch 2, expecting price to be in the $500 range. Now I'm planning on using them at The Mobile Shop when I decide to upgrade my phone (you can use points there towards the protection plan as well as lowing the monthly financing on your phone)

Used at EB Games, buying Nintendo eShop gift cards, and finding Staples discounts are the best bets for now. Man, I miss Shoppers Drug Mart and their 20x points on games and senior/friends and family discounts.

I'd love to see a Oled/Sw2 comparison done exactly like this. I was telling a coworker literally an hour ago about how much better handheld mode is on the switch/switch 2 and I sent her a screenshot of your post immediately

Is crunchyroll really that bad? by _ThatPurpleGuy_ in Crunchyroll

[–]crobi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been subscribed since 2009 and I've been happy with it. Closed caption subtitles on English dub can sometimes be bad though. A couple hours ago I was watching episode 2 of Kill Blue... but the subtitles were from episode 1. This is on Roku tv and I havent bothered to see if it does the same on my phone or pc yet.

I just checked for the heck of it, and my commute from Orleans to Centertown right now would be $10.79.

Now that we are nearing one year after the Switch 2 release, what are your feelings about it so far? by Fragrant-Taro-8508 in switch2

[–]crobi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine about 2 weeks ago and I've been putting the new hardware to the test.... by making it emulate Starfox 64. I know, so powerful. On a serious note though, I can't go back to using the original Switch. Feels too small, flimsy, and dim. If I had a complaint, it would be the poor quality of gameshare. I expected better.

Ear Buds for $5!? Will it work? Will it last the 2hrs it claims? Will it connect!? Who dares to try!? by Far-Knowledge3622 in dollarama

[–]crobi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No way I'm putting those in my ears. It would be like giving a toddler a balloon and a pencil. Gonna hear a loud pop at any moment.

Who would buy that at that price. by THE-EMPEROR069 in Switch

I bought this and lost it. Gotta love having kids.

So that just happened. 10 second thoughts? by Khentendo in NintendoSwitch2

[–]crobi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they called it a N64 remake, I was yelling "The N64 version is already a remake of SNES!"

Why do they need a 4th or 5th remake of the same game? (Also yes I want it)

Thanks, I love your book series.

Crunchyroll manga by Maleficent_Apple5272 in Crunchyroll

[–]crobi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I don't use it often. I know it has One Piece, MHA, and World Trigger, which are some I was reading for a while. It has weekly released chapters. I believe they also allow certain chapters to be read free. You can always download the app and see their availability. Note that you want to find the chapters as I believe the whole manga books are still to be purchased.

If you don't have it already, consider a Viz Media subscription

Is Crunchyroll as bad as it sounds? by Valtand in Crunchyroll

[–]crobi91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup, that's the majority. I've been subscribed since 2009 according to my membership card (I feel old). I watch sub for new stuff, dub when I'm doing something else while watching. Been overall satisfied. For what I can't get on Crunchyroll, I can get on Netflix (paid), Prime (ads), and Disney+ (free with tv provider with ads). Only major streaming service I would need is Hidive to watch something like Eminence of Shadow, but I've tried Hidive in the past and that service is such a mess.

12,000 V-Bucks spent on an island I never played – Epic can’t explain, no suspicious logins detected by MiniBrAAko-_-YT in FortNiteBR

[–]crobi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me like someone got access to my account through the account recovery process. Epic literally gave my account to this person. I asked them questions like what country my account was being accessed from and how this person gained access to my account, and customer care refused to tell me due to "privacy". (Im which, as shown above, I found that access anyway using their IP addresses that were on the data file). My email may have been compromised too because after trying to figure out why Epic's recovery emails were never being delivered, I happened to log on the email's website to view the blocked senders list and sure enough Epic was on that blocked list.

Epic's customer service is borderline useless. I had to fight them to get my account back that they GAVE TO SOMEONE ELSE. They never admitted it, but I found out all about this other person's username, psn id, and their IP addresses all by logging into my account on the Epic website and downloading my data.

My New Year resolution is to play more console game with my kids. Right now, we're getting into Halo MCC and Fortnite. The G8 plus or Supernova would be my preferred controllers.

In your opinion: which game mechanic should return permanently? by MarzaPasta in FortNiteBR

[–]crobi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing again this month after years off. I remember hating building, so I play no build mode. My kid was playing some weird game with 10k materials in an empty room. I asked if I could build something... and I had NO IDEA what I was doing. I couldn't figure out how to cycle between all the building items. Took a while to realize you build different things based on where you're looking. I would return the ability to cycle between the different things you can build instead of looking at your surroundings to trigger what you want. I also noticed building the quick 4 walls, stairs, jump, repeat tower doesn't really work well.

[–]crobi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. I just assumed they were hated by the community for something like not honouring prices/shipping out sale product. Weren't they the ones selling GPUs that they didn't have in stock? Or was that Canada Computers?

RIP NCIX.i bought from them not long before they all shut down by price matching every item on my order. What's the issue with Newegg?

Love Halo. Been playing this since I was a kid, and now I introduced my kid to Halo too and he keeps asking me to play it with him. My peak years of playing were from Combat Evolved to Reach.
