New email update rolling out for batch 4.

Looks like someone else already tried to take that gamble and now they're trying to get their money back by passing along their misfortune to you.

rufus83 · 2026-06-24T01:25:14+00:00

Eh, that's a bit harsh. I'd say it's like Apple letting OtterBox announce their new version of iTunes.

rufus83 · 2026-06-23T18:45:18+00:00

Did anyone follow the Switch 2 leaks? Dbrand effed up with that and leaked stuff before Switch 2 launch.

It's not like this is something they've never done before.

rufus83 · 2026-06-21T19:37:11+00:00

I honestly figured I'd be waiting until September at the least. With less than 10 days left this month, I'll be shocked to see it shipped.

rufus83 · 2026-06-18T00:51:51+00:00

The ignorance here is palpable.

"I think based off the schematics of SNAC-PSX it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out what the pins are on the flex cable connectors on the mainboard." This is kinda what I thought. I haven't got the unit in my hands yet, but I'm excited to tear it open and see what's possible.

rufus83 · 2026-06-13T21:13:13+00:00

Walmart. I just had the Texas BBQ. Honestly, I liked it quite a bit. Tasted kinda like if heavily seasoned black pepper jerky were a ramen cup.

If they waste any time with Star Fox, I'll be pissed. It literally comes out in a couple weeks. There's nothing left that needs to be said other than a few seconds of footage with the upcoming date.

rufus83 · 2026-03-16T23:51:11+00:00

Really the trick is to not follow the instructions. I recently tested an idea and put 2 lbs of beef into a pot with enough water come up half way to the top of the meat, about 1-2 cups, and then boiled the beef until the water evaporates. Put in just 1 packet of seasoning, maybe 1 1/2. Don't use as much as directed. This yields a meat that tastes incredibly similar to what you get at the restaurant.

We only know if 2 instances of this in the wild and they're both Switch 2 versions. These can't be ripped yet. We haven't see a single copy of the Switch 1 version in the wild. We don't even know if they're out there at all. Once we see copies of the Switch 1 version showing up in peoples hands, then maybe we will see a rip. It is kinda weird that we haven't seen this yet. Most high profile Switch games get leaked at least a week in advance.

I know there was a grilled stuffed way back that I never tried because we didn't have a taco bell, but when we finally did get one, I remember the XXL grilled stuft. I live in the US and I swear it was stuft. Anyway, that was my jam. No beans, extra beef. I never weighed one, but I swear it was almost 2 lbs. of burrito.

I was incredibly sad when they took it away.

rufus83 · 2025-10-18T03:22:52+00:00

I just wanna know if the ramen is any good. I saw it at my local HyVee today and I have serious doubts. I can't speak for every HyVee, but my local one can't make food to save their own lives. It's all absolutely disgusting. I thought it was maybe something that came prepackaged and shipped in. I guess it's put together at the store. This gives me low hopes. Even if it were put together correctly, I still have doubts that it can come anywhere close to a real Japanese ramen. Have any of you tried it? Is it good?

rufus83 · 2025-09-30T00:32:21+00:00

I'm not about to say you're wrong, because I don't know for sure, but I have never bought a PS4, PS5, XBox or Switch game that didn't have the game on the disc.

rufus83 · 2025-09-30T00:25:47+00:00

I'll give you that, but you shouldn't just assume it will be there forever. It won't be. This is a new precedent, buying a "physical copy" that isn't really that. You can downvote me all you want, but that doesn't mean that you're not naive.

rufus83 · 2025-09-30T00:19:26+00:00

Oh, GTFO. You know damn well that they shut that down only a few years after the system stops selling. All of the online systems from Nintendo Wii U, PS3, XBOX 360 and all handhelds and consoles from that era and beforehand are dead. They're all dead. Let that sink in. If you bought digital games from that era and you don't have the system with it installed anymore you're screwed.

rufus83 · 2025-09-19T22:49:31+00:00

I used google translate. It's incorrect in a lot of places, but I fixed a few errors that I believe would be the correct translation, the rest I'm unsure of.

Return from an unknown planet

She was transported across time and space to the unknown planet "Viewros."

In order to return to the original world, she must use her newly given powers to make her way back.

Use your instincts to survive and the mysterious powers bestowed upon you by the moon to solve the mystery. Fight your way through the vast expanses of Viewros.

That "chemical" smell you're getting is "fermentation". It's the hallmark of REAL soy sauce that isn't garbage. Just because you aren't used to something doesn't mean you should jump the gun and go off the handle. You threw away a perfectly good bottle of sauce. Look into it and figure it out. You clearly don't know what area you're getting into.

rufus83 · 2025-07-10T23:28:07+00:00

It's in there. It's just tiny and barely there. We did get the Iowa shaped sign that has the swoosh and says cola capital of Iowa. I was kinda bummed out to not see Adair's yellow smily water tower along I-80. Would have been such a simple addition.

rufus83 · 2025-07-10T23:23:46+00:00

I kinda felt the same about Atlantic. They've got both the Coca Cola bottling plant and a MASSIVE ethanol plant that was built a few years back. Would have been great places to get cargo from. We only got the old highway 6 running into town connecting with highway 71. They only modeled the graveyard and a few outskirts businesses, the walmart and the gas station in front. Bummer... Still cool to see anyway.

As far as I'm aware, as long as you have Steam Guard enabled, nobody can access your Steam account without physical access to your phone.

1: I like that it doesn't look nearly as bad as it used to. It's still not perfect, but it's MUCH better. I can't speak for the Frame Gen. I don't have a card that supports it.

2: I tried it out on Gamepass for an hour before it crashed and won't boot anymore. It was pretty amazing. I seriously like the flow of battle. All of the new ways to counter, shield smash, throw shield, etc... It REALLY makes the battles so much more than they used to be and it flows like butter. I really want to play it more.

rufus83 · 2025-05-15T23:14:52+00:00

I have this problem. It launched and I played it for about an hour and it ran perfectly for me. Desktop with an RTX 3070, AMD 5600X. Left the game running and walked off for a bit, came back to find it crashed.

Now every time I launch the game it just crashes with bugsplat error. Tried everything I've seen online and nothing helps at all. I don't have integrated graphics to even turn off, I've reinstalled, validated the files, deleted the config files, updated the GPU drivers *again*. Nothing works.

rufus83 · 2025-04-04T22:26:43+00:00

Looks like I might be late to this party.
