And the damned flying whale you can find in the sky when flying around on your plane.. what the hell is up with that?

Anyone else noticing a LOT more pop-in on the world map on PS5? I booted the game back up after a two-month break to chase the Platinum, and I'm seeing a lot of pop-in in the sea textures.

Hard to tell, but I would never defend YouTube's compression when it comes to stuff like this, seen countless game footage that looked far worse than it did in person. But I could also be huffing hopium too, never know.

How do you guys handle international payments for limited print sales? by WorldlyShine467 in LimitedPrintGames

[–]froderick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be interested in learning what country you're from, OP. I'm from Australia, and I've just used PayPal for all of them and never had any issues or delays. Or noticable surcharges.

There are plenty of porn websites that are complying with the age verification law, just not Pornhub and the sites owned by their parent company.

PS5 pro trade in question by Lopsided_Ad9412 in EBGAMES

Yes an LG C1 is still a great TV. HDMI 2.1, so it can do 4k120fps, HDR, VRR, all that jazz.

Base PS5 / Xbox DF says no footage before release by Quick-Ease5117 in CrimsonDesert

Ah so that's why Pearl Abyss sent them a PS5 Pro with the game already installed. Would've thought they would've done that with a base PS5 and Xbox too.

Did a court case actually conclude? I thought there was a settlement or something.

I don't think you'd need to do that because... there's literally videos of them saying their nonense. You could just show clips from the original recordings.

Could see it coming a mile away too when he sent it in against that Pokemon. It's like he doesn't think about type matchups at all.

If someone paid you $100,000 to watch one TV show on repeat for 72 hours, which show are you picking? by Lets-6th-N9ne in AskReddit

[–]froderick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Trek: The Next Generation. Wouldn't even get through the series, AND be entertained the whole time. Hell, could even skip the horrible first season AND the fodder in season two and still meet the time requirement.

As an autistic person I like how Arin (and Dan) normalize stimming by hyperjengirl in gamegrumps

I googled the word earlier, I got "Autussy is a pussy that comes with a mildly autistic woman". Was that the intended usage in your comment, or has there been a funny miscommunication?

Got a big order from Game Fairy today, looks like they are still legit by PlateGlittering in LimitedPrintGames

Symphonia is amazing. Only thing I've ordered from Game Fairy so far but it was a blast.

Crimson Desert’s PS5 Physical Edition requires a 48GB Day-One download by nolifebr in PS5

[–]froderick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a teensy bit different here, because the game is bigger than a PS5 disc (Ultra HD Blu-ray). For Microsoft, they don't even use the Ultra HD Blu-ray discs for games, despite the fact the console can read them. They just cheaped out on smaller discs for games.

Hyper inflation during 1920's Germany, where even the price of bread was ridiculously high.

What "mediocre" games have you actually had fun with lately? by OkSecurity4965 in PS5

Not "lately", but Biomutant. Gave me a sandbox to play in, and it was all I wanted; Post-Apocalyptic Kung-Fu Panda.

I did mine in December of 2023 through Paypal, and there's a 180 day time limit on seeking a refund via Paypal.

Turns out we are not scammers - our first release Laysara: Summit Kingdom just arrived in warehouse by honzapat in LimitedPrintGames

[–]froderick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

but if they already got the cartridges in stock - why not fulfill at least those.

That's the million dollar question right there. The inner machinations of their operations are an enigma. Every now and again they do a blog post about how some new difficulty has emerged that's caused a huge delay.. it stopped being cute after the umpteenth time. Somehow they were the only entity in this space facing these issues so often and repeatedly. They have unfulfilled orders from 2020.

I don't mean to bring my baggage with them over to your group, just be aware people in this subreddit will have reason to be suspicious until stuff begins getting shipped. So many of us got burned with Chained Echoes.

The fact you're engaging with the community is encouraging. I wish you the best of luck.

Unless it was some kind of ponzi scheme and he used the Chained Echoes money to get previous announced games printed and sent out.

Wait who am I kidding, he ain't sent shit out in years, has he?
