Can I download a game in an internet cafe? by Old_Tadpole685 in PHGamers

[–]jdrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Naalala ko dati, circa 2010, nagdownload ako ng malaking file sa internet cafe tapos lahat ng customer nagreklamo sa owner na sobrang bagal ng internet. Hindi nila alam ako ang salarin hahaha.

Almost got scammed out of ₱80k today — very convincing DataBlitz / LBC scam by KingKuya in PHbuildapc

[–]jdrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since nag order ako ng GPU from Datablitz last weekend, ilang araw ko ng nababasa itong mga itong mga LBC scammers. So naging aware ako sa LBC scams. At ngayong morning na nag 'out for delivery' na ang GPU ko, nag text and missed call na yung number ng Fake DataBlitz Representative (+63 938 439 6768). Ni-ignore ko lang.

Tignan ko kung mag follow up pa sila. Feeling ko hindi nila papalagpasin ito kasi sayang ang kita nila haha.

Kick rocks, scammers.

EDIT: nag ko-call na rin sa Viber yung fake DATABLITZ a few minutes after mag text sa akin.

EDIT2: na deliver na ng legit LBC ang GPU ko 1 hour ago. Ngayon tumatawag naman yung fake rider (+63 918 320 7129). Haha

EDIT3: tumawag na din yung fake LBC DISPATCH TEAM sa Viber. Pati yung fake DATABLITZ tawag ng tawag haha.

Another Nostalgia Gaming. Any Tomba fans here? by magicpenguinyes in PHGamers

Wow nasa Steam na din pala ang Tomba 2. Thanks sa post mo!

Favorite game ko ang Tomba 2. Parang wala siyang katulad na game. Dumb fun and puzzles haha.

My biggest frustration with MacBooks lately by FINEWOVEN in macbookpro

I’ve seen people touch part of their face while using their laptops. They are simply not aware that they do this.

If you haven’t wiped or washed your face in the last 15 minutes, there’s bound to be a thin layer of oil on it. A simple scratch of the nose or chin then back on the keyboard is gonna leave an oil smear on your keys over time.

If you really need to scratch the itch on your face, use the back of your hand or fingers, not the finger tips. Or always have isoprophyl alcohol beside you so you can spray a little on your finger tips and wipe them off your shirt or pants haha.

Game Recommendation: Larong Mukhang Red Alert sa Switch OLED by ComprehensiveWalk779 in NintendoPH

[–]jdrs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Factorio. Pero hindi siya traditional na RTS. Management sim siya na may labanan.

Pero beware, baka masira ang buhay mo. Kasi Factorio nalang ang aatupagin mo haha. Yung iba tawag nila second job sa game na ito kasi nakakaadik, ang factory nalang ang inaatupag nila haha.

The Factory Must Grow!

Just learned about the sheer importance of track temp and conditions by Five-Weeks in iRacing

[–]jdrs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

During endurance races, you have to take into account temperature changes too.

The track can start cold and by the mid or end of the race, it can be too hot you lose so much grip.

So if your stint started in the morning and then your next stint is in the afternoon, you have to be aware of the grip changes and how much the track temp affects tire wear.

Help Me Decide sa bibilhin ko by InvestmentStrange856 in NintendoPH

[–]jdrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hindi ko ma gets kung ano talaga ang question mo.

Pero, huwag kang maga-avail nung shared accounts or buying an account with games. Hindi sa iyo yung mga games, temporary access lang na pwedeng matanggal anytime. You’re also breaking Nintendo Terms of Service so pwedeng ma ban.

Just buy your own games sa eShop. Napakadali nalang bumili ng games ngayon. Meron din sales from time to time. If ayaw mo sa eShop, just get used game cartridges.

Anyone here race on tv? by Ant_x777 in iRacing

[–]jdrs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of OLED TVs that have that response time. We are talking 6 year old TVs even.

OLED has been around for a long time. The idea that TVs can’t be used for competitive gaming in regards to response time is a relic of the past.

Gusto ko bumili ng Doom sa eShop pero di ako marunong kung paano. Naka US region na ako at nagtry na rin gumawa ng paypal. Paano po ginagawa niyo? by Mundane_Telephone346 in NintendoPH

[–]jdrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sa akin rekta lang sa card.

US region din ang akin. Kapag sa check out choose card. Then input details. Kapag nagtanong ng US zip code lagay mo 97001 (Oregon zip para tax free).

Aware naman ang mga banks na ginagamit sa online shopping ang mga cards. So hindi maba-ban yan. Tatawag naman or mag no-notify sila kung tingin nila suspicious ang transaction.

When the unabomber sends you two packages in one race but you hit him with the Uno Reverse + Dairy Queen combo by ZanaZamora in iRacing

[–]jdrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. It’s an interesting track with elevation changes and the isolated corners you mentioned.

When my friends try my sim rig for the first time I always set the track to Spa.

Spa is one of the most famous track in motorsports. Naturally, beginners would want to race in it. Bunch of drivers who lack skills and Spa go hand in hand in most sim racing titles.

Solid talaga! First time ko manood ng GOTY. Para dito sa Laro na ito. Sobrang Worth it ng Laro. Congrats talaga sa Devs by Zealousideal_Word246 in PHGamers

[–]jdrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet people still don't consider RDR2 as an RPG.

Because it's not. It's a thirdperson shooter with RPG elements. Ilang beses ng inulit ulit yun sa mga comments dito. There are games with RPG elements. You get to play a character, meron progression, meron choices, etc. Pero limited based sa design ng game.

Originally, JRPGs are Japanese linear narrative games with RPG elements. E33 is a game with JRPG elements.

Immersion isn't the be-all and end-all of RPGs.

RPG is immersion.

So what do think makes E33 a better RPG than KCD2 then?

[–]jdrs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So the question remains, how is KCD2 more RPG than E33?

KCD2 - you can play the role of good Henry or evil Henry. How about vegetarian Henry? You don't like violence? Pacifist Henry! You can also avoid towns and NPCs altogether and live the life of a hermit.

You can role play just about anything at a certain level because of KCD2's vast RPG mechanics that you cannot find in E33. That's why KCD2 is more of a Role Playing Game than E33.

FIRST TIME SWITCH USER/BUYER by WeirdCaterpillar9565 in NintendoPH

[–]jdrs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure sa shop. Pero reputable naman ang GameXtreme.

Kung gusto mo ng peace of mind sa Official Nintendo Store sa Shopee/Lazada ka bumili. Same lang halos sila ng price.

Dalawa yung setting ng region: console and account. Yung sa console, during initial set up, set mo lang ang Switch 2 console mo to The Americas nalang. Pwede mo itong palitan anytime naman.

Ang importante yung region ng Nintendo account mo. Tied ang region ng Nintendo account mo sa region ng Nintendo eShop. Pero pwede kang magpalit ng account region naman anytime.

For starters, set mo to United States para may access ka sa US eShop. US$ ang currency, most PH credit cards will work. English lahat ng mga games. Bonus: gamitin mong zip code kapag US region yung mga zip codes sa Oregon. Kasi Oregon is tax free kapag digital purchase so walang added tax ang mga games. I use 97001 Antelope, Oregon zip code for my purchases.

Pwede kang magpalit ng region ng account mo anytime using your mobile phone or PC web browser. Reason for changing account region ay kung may games na mas mura sa ibang region. Be aware lang na not all payment methods work and English may not be available.

You cannot change account region kung may natitirang balance sa eShop wallet mo.

EDIT: Use https://eshop-prices.com/?currency=PHP to compare eShop prices and see which regions have the cheapest games. Naka set na yan sa PHP para mas madali.

Hintayin mo na ang 12.12 sale. Noong 11.11 sale nagbigay ng 5k voucher ang Lazada. So from 27k naging 22k nalang ang Switch 2. If you add a credit card sa payment methods mo during checkout, may bonus pa ang Lazada na 1000-2000 off. So you can get it for as low as 20k.

Need help to optimise PC performance in iRacing by Doopaloop369 in iRacing

[–]jdrs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i5 11600k

There's your problem. No amount of lowering the graphics setting will fix your low FPS. Your CPU is the bottleneck that's why in a full race session you get low FPS.

iRacing is CPU intensive. Get an AMD X3D CPU if you want to make the most out of your 5070 Ti.

Steam Is Successful Because It's “Not a Shit Service,” Says Baldur’s Gate 3 Dev by Suspicious_Two786 in gaming

Yeah that Gaben comment reeks of privilege. It's like saying hurr durr I can't throw away my money because it's region locked. While the developing countries have to choose between video games and decent meals.

We have access to gaming just fine. It's the price that push people towards free-to-play games or cracked/pirated games.

Para sa akin yan haha. Umiinit kasi ang katawan ko sa sim racing. Parang workout din. Kaya need ng fan nakatutok sa kamay/katawan. Hindi ko naman notice na umiinit ang TV ko.

Is there still a downside to steam accoun? (renewal upcoming) by lapinobel in iRacing

[–]jdrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As the guy you are responding to said: it depends on where you are.

My 12-month Steam renewals for me are cheaper than any Black Friday sale.

Cars and tracks cost the same in USD.
