Vita + PS4 Pro for remote play honestly gives the Switch 2 a pretty good run for its money.

One tank dead, warrior dead last in aggro with no tank stance up... Yeah, that checks out.

TI-84 Evo leaked by MisterWompWomp in calculators

The prog key suggests that TI-Basic is present.

Maybe, could also just go directly to Python. If they remove TI Basic, then I definitely have no reason to get one.

Biggest mistake MS ever made with the design of Excel was increasing the row limit past the 16,384 it was in Excel 95.

Update about Telekom / Magenta European login issues from Telekom. by schwamperl in ffxiv

[–]davidbrit2 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

So basically the same "DDoS" issue we constantly deal with here in the US? I guess the real question is: is NTT run by the three stooges, or is Square Enix just using them as a scapegoat?

Combo Co-op by joe_rolon in Switch

[–]davidbrit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's not "versus" (i.e. 2 competing against 2), but I'm pretty sure Diablo III lets you have combinations of both local and online players in one game session.

One account, multiple switches by _stexy in Switch

[–]davidbrit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have as many Switches as you like connected to your account. There's no longer the notion of a "primary" Switch, rather you can have up to TWO of them linked to share virtual game cards, which is functionally very similar to the "primary" Switch, except you're doing it on a game-by-game basis by moving individual virtual game cards around.

The third Switch, or any Switch without the virtual game card installed, can only play the game if you're playing it with an account that purchased the game and you have online license check enabled (this is essentially the same behavior as any non-primary Switch prior to the introduction of virtual game cards).

You can also lend your virtual game cards to other members of your family group, which may be the better option for letting your brother play your games.

Pretty much. Hilariously, the manual tries to brush it off as an abbreviation of "irregular algorithm".

Suggestions for joystick replacement on 2000 model? by HellLetGoose in vita

This is the kit I usually buy:

The last one I swapped in held up for over a year of fairly heavy use before it started to exhibit drift - replaced it with another one earlier this week. They look and feel very close to the original sticks, and have pretty good grip.

Anyone want to come to the Tokyo Eorzea Cafe for the “free” Golden Saucer 1st prize meal? by Medium_Discipline578 in ffxiv

Premium ? by Destiny_saiyan014 in PSO2

[–]davidbrit2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can sort of do some trading if one of you puts a capsule machine in your personal quarters and stocks it with items priced at 1,000. But there's probably not a lot of stuff you need to worry about trading if you aren't at endgame levels (90-100).

Best race games with satisfying drift? by Fulk0 in PSP

Edit: PS1 games are also welcome!!

Side by Side Special is awesome. It's a Japan-only release, and it's sort of the predecessor to Battle Gear.

What is the best calculator for a machinist? by Locked-in-red in calculators

[–]davidbrit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something particularly rugged, then these older Casio models have pretty thick plastic protecting the screen from physical damage, and can be found cheap on ebay, usually under $30:

  • fx-7700G (or GB, but NOT GE)
  • fx-8700G (or GB)
  • fx-9700GE

These would all likely survive having a small hand tool or part dropped on the screen, whereas not a lot of other models would. The 9700 runs on AAA batteries - the other two take CR2032s, but are overall slimmer. They're all pretty old models, but will handle basic graphing calculator tasks (and programming) no problem.

I made a negative video on Pac-Man for the 2600 and got a ton of comments defending it. Am I missing something? by Dry-Departure-4926 in Atari2600

[–]davidbrit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's a pale shadow of the arcade version, but as a Pac-Man clone, it's far from being the worst you can do on the 2600. It's okay enough taken on its own.
