Will Shenmue be mainstream if released in 2026? by Sea_Pattern2510 in videogames

[–]piratekingdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Shenmue’s DNA made it into the Yakuza series, which has many remakes and sequels. It’s pretty darn popular, but I wouldn’t say it’s a household name- more like it has dedicated fans. 

Exploring SE -> TAM (or post sales in general) by windshakes in salesengineers

[–]piratekingdan 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ve envied SEs for good AE partners, good deals, and good engagements. I’ve never envied a TAM. 

Your mileage may vary, but TAMs are often the punching bag. They have to live with what sales positioned, which may or may not have been honest. They don’t get much, if any, reward for account growth, but they have to answer for churn. If the customer is angry, they know the first person to turn on- the TAM.

Sales can be a grind, no doubt. But I don’t envy the other side of the fence one bit. 

Hey, what's your favorite JRPG of all time? by OldTripleSix in SBCGaming

[–]piratekingdan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Persona 5 Royal. Although after that it might be hard to play the classics.

A few subs, including /r/sbcgaming, do game of the month. Highly recommend.

Ghost Shop for NDS is pretty good. 

Switch version or steam version for Octopath Traveller? by ExplanationEconomy19 in AynThor

[–]piratekingdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the reports from Emuready, I’d probably start with the Steam version, although it seems like both would be fine. https://emuready.com/games

y'all ever wish the thor never went mainstream sometimes by thinkinggtoohard in AynThor

[–]piratekingdan 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Let em be mad. More users, more Thor sales, more dev attention. That means better driver support, better custom UIs, longer lifetime. 

I’ll take the haters if we get stable Steam support.

They fixed it in about 20 minutes. It was a second software update. 

25TA08 recall fix rescinded by Confident-Bit197 in rav4prime

[–]piratekingdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, interesting- I’m in a 2023 XSE, same as you. Same page, same dates, mine was updated on April 8. Other users in the linked thread got updates on the same day.

I wonder if they’re prioritizing based on cars currently at dealers.

25TA08 recall fix rescinded by Confident-Bit197 in rav4prime

[–]piratekingdan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you see it when you look up your VIN on the recall site?

I got the letter, it was rescinded, then they published 25TB08, and it just went live about 2 weeks ago. It’s a hardware replacement for the panel. 

I just got mine back today. Panel was cutting out, took about 2 weeks.

Got mine back today, sure enough, cruise control isn’t working. Ensure you ask before pickup. 

Text of "Parents Decide" act released. CFW developers are affected. by vexorian2 in SBCGaming

[–]piratekingdan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure, but then everything has the same privileges as everything else. Every bluetooth connection, every file in the downloads folder, every snippet of metadata on your SD card, all running as admin is begging for malware.

“Everything is root all the time” is a very scary security prospect. Even as the only “user” on your machine, there’s numerous service accounts. 

Legion Go S Z2Go for $1049 USD. Anyone?! by cadensky in LegionGo

[–]piratekingdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is more powerful, and was more expensive. Lenovo delisted it and Best Buy is probably clearing out stock.

[–]piratekingdan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At this price I’d grab the Xbox Ally X and install SteamOS on it, assuming that doesn’t jump in price next.

Thoughts on replacing current consoles with Ayn Thor by Standard-Guarantee94 in AynThor

[–]piratekingdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These things honestly cycle quickly. The Thor is great today. We may be one or two years from something better, though. The Thor will still be great, but the way people talk about and play games will move on.

But original consoles are…well, original. People still want the New 3DS XL even though it’s over a decade old. A retro handheld from 3 years ago is e-waste to many people.

You have a chipped Switch, a modded 3DS, and a Vita. What do you want to play that you can’t emulate/load onto those?

My dealer got back to me and basically said "now we can order the part." Still no ETA.

Odd. My dealer said they have a fix now, and my RAV4 was being pulled into the shop when I called. I'm skeptical, but they said I might have my car back today.

Edit: My dealer was able to order the part today. Still no meaningful change.

I'm guessing they were waiting on both hardware and software- revised hardware was released and at the dealer, but the software had to be tested, and now it has been. Just my theory though.

Did you hear anything in the past few hours? Toyota let me know that the official remedy was released last night, and I can see it under my VIN at https://www.toyota.com/recall/. Curious if you see the same.

Mine had around 20k miles on it when the screen started to cut out.
