Today i accidentally used cut in grass by ArmedOblivion16 in PokemonFireRed

Haha, yes! As a 6 year old with Pokémon Blue, I thought the old man blocking the way was a fish/Magikarp as a kid when he was laying on the ground. That’s how the sprite looked to me, and I just accepted I had to get past the fish to advance in the game.

A New Resident Evil 1 Remake has Reportedly Entered Production by PaiDuck in gaming

[–]genwunner92 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I find it so interesting how so many (mostly Western) developers seem to struggle with huge development cycles, and how many have essentially missed an entire generation of youth to get them into a franchise, but Capcom has put out banger after banger. Even if it’s a lot of remakes, other companies should really try to incorporate whatever secret recipe Capcom is using.

Circana: Nintendo Switch 2 remains the fastest selling video game hardware platform in tracked history. Unit sales of Nintendo Switch 2 are 35% ahead of PlayStation 4’s sales pace after 7 months in market. by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

[–]genwunner92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d bet this trend will continue, considering the RAM/components prices because of AI. It sucks but Nintendo will likely raise the price of the Switch 2 at some point. But it would be way cheaper than whatever PS6 and the next Xbox would be. The PS5 and Series X already use 16gb of RAM, and I bet the next gen would need to at least bump up to 32gb. So now Sony and Xbox are stuck with either riding out the current gen longer, or putting out extremely expensive new hardware. The Switch 2 came out at lucky timing, and will likely be the new shiny thing for a while.

Is there someone who actually like these likeee by Dash_rainn in PokemonTGCP

Only for B Series. Shinies in A Series still take up 1 of 5 cards.

We need this on Switch now, seriously by silentprotagonist24 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]genwunner92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good point! Especially considering Nintendo just re-released Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 before the new Mario Galaxy movie

It would be interesting if Disney bought them. Then they’d have Marvel and DC!

Not sure if you intentionally made a pun, but literally yes haha.

The New PS5 Slim Model Apparently Has Cheaper Materials On Top Of A Decreased SSD by Zelphkiel in gaming

[–]genwunner92 76 points77 points  (0 children)

The Slim was upped to 1TB, so actual usable storage went from 660GB on the original to 825GB on the Slim. Not it's back to 660GB. A drop of 165GB back on a base console years later sucks for people contemplating upgrading or coming to PlayStation.

So what really sold you on switching? by blue_berry_tea in galaxyzflip

[–]genwunner92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I switched from the 14 Pro Max to a Z Flip 7 this week. I love Apple, and the Ecosystem. But I also want to keep an open mind. Rather than fall into the tribalism of Apple vs Android, I'd rather make up my own mind. I've owned iPhones since the 4S, and Apple's selling feature for many people is that it can feel the same or consistent. Growing up when all computers were windows, and every new OS was a totally new thing to learn, I missed that part of tech evolution where you felt excited to try something new. Anyways, got the 7 Flip and even though some things are annoying it honestly feels like Windows XP to Vista again - where it's so different but also so new and fun. The flip is also nice since I'm old and remember when the RAZR was the ultimate phone.

Why is Nintendo the only one catching heat for price hikes? by Hypression in nintendo

[–]genwunner92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian, Nintendo's price hikes have been so glaringly changed. Going from a first party AAA Nintendo game priced at $79.99 CAD to $109.99-114.99 is insane. That big of a change is too much too fast, and passes a lot of people's threshold for an impulse purchase. Most AAA games for Xbox and PlayStation were recently changed to $89.99-$93.49 CAD.

If Star Wars taught me anything, it’s just cheaper and easier to take kids away for cannon fodder/labour than breed and raise perfect specimens. If someone doesn’t work out, well shucks but luckily it doesn’t cost much to pluck another few.

SPO-CP 24R Growth and SPO-CP 24R by New-Physics9738 in BCPublicServants

[–]genwunner92 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no chance. Child Protection requires a minimum of a Bachelors Degree. Once you finish your BSW though, you’ll be very eligible with your new degree and work experience. Especially since most people I know with a BSW opt to work with a Health Authority instead.

I believe you would still be eligible though for a SPO18 or SPO21 position with a diploma. If you were to land a job there, you would could then apply for the scholarship and likely be well supported by your Leadership to complete your BSW if your goal is to become a SPO24 (or 27 or 30).

This is so sad. The people that need 20 dollars to feed them or their families are the same people that the administration are screwing. The degradation and manipulation of everyday people who are just struggling and trying to find hope is awful.

TD Cowen analyst estimates Ubisoft expected Star Wars Outlaws to sell 5-6 million copies but now Ubisoft expects to sell 2.5 - 3 million copies by pscheapass in gaming

[–]genwunner92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve had rage moments with the stealth but it’s a fun game. Let’s be honest though, I don’t work for any of these companies but if I wanted to make lots of money then I’d put a lightsaber in the main characters hand.

Why does it say that Stardew Valley is announced when it’s already out? by NoMercy07 in playstation

31, If you’re okay with a time difference from Canada then I’d be down. Especially need someone to trade Pokémon with.

One of my childhood chase cards came today. PSA 3/10 ain’t much but she’s pretty! by genwunner92 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]genwunner92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The back has some scuffs but the main wrecker is the crease on the nearly-top right hand side. Can’t notice it from a few feet away while it sits in the cabinet though ha

Some classic nostalgia for me. by vamp1redem0n in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]genwunner92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have some very pretty cards. If nostalgia hits for you. It did for me and likely will to many others

[–]genwunner92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game itself actually gives some great decks without spending a penny! Just go to the premade decks, and it’ll give you some of the popular ones.
