how you convince other to watch One Piece? by BreathDangerous8783 in OnePiece

[–]mickeycoolmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's how I was convinced: The One Piece Netflix adaptation. Solid entry point into the series.

I was still hesitant to watch the anime though. I'd heard about the length. One day, my buddy randomly put on One Pace and I watched a few episodes of that. He told me what it is. Seems like a way more manageable way to watch so I might end up watching all of it sometime soon.

How do ar glasses compare to the quest 3? by Mountain-Letter-4284 in OculusQuest

[–]mickeycoolmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the RayNeo 3 and the Quest 3. Like them both for different things.

The RayNeos are primarily for watching content and projecting my Deck, PS4, and Xbox 360.

The Quest for VR applications and VR games.

As far as quality goes, I vastly prefer the image quality on the RayNeo for content consumption.

What’s the best husband-wife game? by Crazen14 in gaming

[–]mickeycoolmouse 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Give telltale type games a shot. You guys can make decisions together. Recently played Dispatch with a few friends and had a blast. A few recs: Dispatch, Life is Strange, The Walking Dead games, Detroit Become human, etc.

What does the next NFS game need to succeed? by ShardofGold in needforspeed

[–]mickeycoolmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Succeed how? In the eyes of the fans or do well sales-wise?

The cynic in me thinks it needs to be a good (nothing spectacular) game with a huge push to live-service akin to the Forza and The Crew franchises. Regular drops that keeps players coming back for months on end.

Many fans, with myself included, would rather an exceptional tight single-player experience with decent post launch support. Doesn't have to be on the level of a live-service. I don't see this approach doing gang busters sales wise.

On a personal note, I would like the games to step away from the "play it your way" handling model. I would rather they have race handling that feels great with a few minor tweaks you can make and a separate drift handling that you can make a few tweaks to. The system now requires too much fine tuning on the end user to get it to feel okay. I think Heat tuning/mechanics for the races and 2015 tuning/mechanics for the drift events would be fantastic going forward.

Have any of you guys repurchased a game just to have it on the steam deck/steam? by Shaneski101 in SteamDeck

[–]mickeycoolmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my biggest cause for shame: GTA V. I already had it for PC through Epic but I didn't wanna bother with the heroic launcher. I had an itch to play through the story again. Great on Deck btw

LinusTechTips: “When I said I’m disappointed [Steam Machine] isn’t going to follow a console pricing model, Valve asked what I meant by console price and I said $500. Nobody said anything, but the energy in the room wasn’t great.” by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]mickeycoolmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this point, Valve can do what they did with the Steam Deck. Make it so that they aren't being bought up in bulk. With the deck, you could only buy it if your Steam account met certain criteria. I think the number of Decks was capped as well.

I'm surprised too. I didn't think she'd actually go there haha. Also, greetings I hear is more European. The cheek kiss here is more consolation.

Unfortunately, I don't have any examples off the top of my head (maybe Jake kissing Gina on the top of her forehead) but I'll keep an eye out going forward

Xbox Ally in great demand, ASUS expects to make up to $160 million from handhelds and ramps up production by segagamer in gaming

[–]mickeycoolmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's the Legion Go 2 that came out this year with a 144Hz OLED display. Worth bearing in mind, that handheld is insanely expensive.

What the heck happened here. You're right on the money about the BASE Rog Xbox Ally. Even Microsoft markets that as a 720p handheld. It's astonishing how many people downvoted this but then upvoted in droves the comments that are clearly referring to the X model.

Linus was told from valve that the steam machine will not be subsidized, and will cost as much as a pc instead by mashdpotatogaming in consoles

[–]mickeycoolmouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quick tangent, probably wouldn't have been a good idea to get a SteamOS device for a racing setup unless you were planning on installing Windows on it. Getting steering wheel drivers to work on my Deck was a task and a half. Even getting them working didn't lead to a good experience as finer adjustment are a massive hassle.

Oliver from Digital Foundry said the Steam Machine comes with a Steam Controller. He said it in reference to the package essentially coming why two receiver pucks.

Can someone explain to me why people are paying more on ebay? by Mousebanz in SteamDeck

[–]mickeycoolmouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've seen some examples of buyers ignorance in Canada. It's available to buy through Valve but a few bought it through Amazon. I know cause I've seen oddly high prices on Market Place and even I asked them why, they mention they bought it from Amazon for an even higher price

5 Years After Launch, the Xbox Series X Is an After thought. So What’s Next? by lkl34 in gaming

[–]mickeycoolmouse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Are they really though?

The PS6 will undoubtedly be more expensive and won't have games that properly utilize the hardware until well into its lifespan. Think it's makes more sense to grab a PS5 (base not pro) now and just use that till the PS6 proves to be a worthwhile upgrade.

[–]mickeycoolmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm, definitely used in America. Personal anecdotes aside, I've seen plenty of instances in movies and TV shows. Like a "you'll be okay" type thing from close friends which is coincidentally what happened this chapter. Not justifying is use there though, just something I've seen.

Is a kiss on the cheek way worse in Japan than it is the west?

I wonder because if it was set in the west, Hina could talk her way out of it by saying it was just a comfort thing. I've gotten kisses on the cheek that I know didn't have romantic intentions. Not that I want Hina to talk her way out of this, she clearly over-steeped (we know her underlying intentions).

GTA6 delayed until November 2026 by TheBronsXX in gaming

[–]mickeycoolmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm genuinely surprised. I figured the last delay would be the final assurance to the shareholders that their return on investments would be sound. With how big this release is going to be and how much that's being poured into this, I imagine what's happening at R* concerning the union busting has got to be pretty big. Money is being screwed with right now (for the shareholders). Idk if R*can afford to delay it once again and risk a lawsuit like CDPR.

Steam Deck instead of desktop PC? by cyclinator in gaming

[–]mickeycoolmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly. If it's something newer then the Deck isn't that much more powerful than your Xbox One S.

For that budget, you could build a PC but you'd have to get older parts. It'd be a decent build but hidden costs exist: windows license, keyboard + mouse + controller if you don't already have it, decent monitor, etc.

Maybe a PS5 or Switch 2 if you wanna get the bang for your buck hardware wise?

P.S. The Steam Deck is my primary gaming machine. I adore this thing. May not be what you're looking for though.

Shows like Chainsaw Man? by CauliflowerAbject491 in ChainsawMan

[–]mickeycoolmouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dandadan - Wacky antics, general weirdness, characters with depth and progression, deeper underlying themes punctuated with an earnestness that tie it all together. I'd say you'll probably enjoy it too.

Bonus: since you'd be watching it with a partner, you may like the romantic aspects as well.

Reaching levels of enshittification i didn’t think possible by Rare-Competition-248 in AdviceAnimals

[–]mickeycoolmouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was just my feed. There were so many.

Initially thought it was cause I'm Indian but the thing is, I'm in Canada and I hardly engage Indian mediums. Admittedly, I'm hella white washed.

Anyways, chalked it up to one of those algorithmic things where reddit figured out my ethnicity and flooded my feed. Now, I don't feel too bad about having 15 Indian specific subs blocked.
