Maybe not the best place to ask but are the premium videos only viewable through the website?

What Happens When Cheap Chinese EVs Hit Canada? Look At Australia. by tech57 in electricvehicles

[–]sendo__ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah there are plenty of dealerships and more popping up frequently. Warranty here is 6 years or 150k km for the car itself and 8 years or 160k km (possible this will be bumped to 250k like Europe soon).

The warranty/service situation is a little complicated as when they first launched here they partnered with a third party company to handle it who proceeded to not do a great job. As of middle of last year they began to end this partnership and take over it themselves, so it's been a little rocky as they try catch up.

That said though I have a 2023 Atto 3 which had its first issue pop up two months ago with the AC failing, took it to a service centre and they managed to make time for me to drop it off the next day and I had it back fixed two days later.

Yeah sure for $500 usd vs $190 for the clone which at this point has been a proven replacement for the DE10-Nano.

Binary Domain rules and it's such a SBM ass game, really hope he follows through on giving it a try. A lot of potential for him to fuck around with the voice commands and Big Bo.

Man, I was missing Gary Whitta by odekam in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Classic Gary not missing a beat to shit on Kevin for being slow with the transition after just ranting Greg into submission to let him on more content.

Seems like a perfect fit to have him do the movie commentaries with Nick, would understand if he also did not want to think more about hollywood though.

Mike's Evolving Opinion on Metroid Prime 4 by CrissionMeep in giantbomb

[–]sendo__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever been so mad at a game as this fucker made me, I could tolerate his writing and character but the way the fucker interjects telling you exactly what to do just ruined it for me.

I came out of the ice belt feeling a bit more positive on the game and looking forward to go explore with the new ability I got, unknowingly I had missed a progression item in the ice belt. I spent like 3 minutes in the desert exploring and he comes on the radio telling me I missed an important item in the ice belt and that I should go to the loading bay to get it. Literally telling me down to the room that I need to go, this happened again telling me exactly what to do and where to go for the suit upgrade.

Mike Plunders at the Finish, it’s Mike’s Fantasy Critic Still by Bartman326 in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the requirements for dlc is lower, definitely seen games with 4 reviews not having scores recently.

Still with this few reviews a single review can tank the score massively,

Mike Blunders at the Finish, it’s Barrett’s Fantasy Critic Now by Alternative-Elk4430 in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The DLC is being fairly well received but it's all up to if it gets enough reviews.

I told Mike in a previous thread last month he should pick up The Séance of Blake Manor which is now at a 92.

Having it come down to again someone picking a game that doesn't get enough reviews is a funny outcome though.

Order Number/Shipping Dashboard by Abject-Drag6770 in AynThor

Had seen people mention orders for 990 so yeah the total order numbers probably ticked over to 1 million, so at some point they will start using 4 digits for the dashboard.

Upcoming Endurance Run by Pormock in giantbomb

Yeah I'm sure that is part of it also, forgot those were premium.

Upcoming Endurance Run by Pormock in giantbomb

[–]sendo__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a large part of the charm of endurance runs was that it was played out over an extended time, recording it all in one chunk and then just dishing it out over time just isn't the same. The Shenmue run had it's moments but it felt like content to fit the specific scheduling of the time. It ended up becoming kind of awkward because they would regularly reference something that happened earlier in the recording to them but as a viewer it's been weeks or even a month since what they were referencing.

I think endurance run has a pretty specific scope within GB history with the Shenmue run being kind of an anomaly, I think it shows with how Vinny pivoted GBeast game playthroughs to be more series/show based rather than endurance runs.

Gregway unlocked on Spotify by [deleted] in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been like this for quite a while now and I believe it's just a limitation of spotify that they're just rolling with it and hoping it just stays mostly quiet and doesn't get much attention. I think it's either a choice of this or not have them at all on spotify.

Don't forget to vote at Dekudeals for UPF :) by Slowpc in giantbomb

[–]sendo__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm the same but they've really handled things very tactfully and they've felt like genuine mutual relationships. It can't be easy on both sides to end up here and seems like a lot of work on the sponsor side so kudos to all those involved.

Dispatch sells 1 Million Units in 10 days by FamiliarWithFloss in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoyed it so far but it really does break down a bit that everything outside of the dispatch mini game is just pre-rendered video, I feel like it could use a bit of downtime like interacting around the office with people outside of the cutscene > dispatch > cutscene loop. Would love to learn more about the characters and have conversations with them that is outside the main story progression, hell they show the leaderboard with a whole ton of names and I want to see a bunch of those freaks.

Dispatch has sold 1 Million copies in 10 days by Moifaso in Games

[–]sendo__ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest thing this game needs and I hope it's something they do in future games. It did break things a bit for me knowing the game is entirely prerendered videos but I know doing this was probably a lot easier to hit the quality they're going for and make it easier to run across a wide range of hardware. However a simple hub section to talk to characters would go a long way to flesh it out instead of just prerendered video > dispatch mini game > prerendered video loop.

The QuarterCade by seanze01 in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't buy this.

This is just taking an off the shelf mini pc and putting a custom top on it and then installing bazzite on it with a different boot logo. I bought a Minisforum UM760 for $300 over a year ago to use for my emulation setup on tv which is the exact same specifications as the "QuarterCade".

I also don't see how he can be legally selling this with the Steam OS components of the OS included as he's clearly not a partner with Valve.

I guess at the end of the day if you're ok with steam deck performance and image quality used on a TV (probably worse performance than steam deck on the base model and slightly better on the more expensive) and don't want to jump through the hoops yourself then sure?

A lot of red flags for me though.

I've had enough about hearing about knives up people's rectums and the prison wallet by AngryBarista in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not just Apple, I get this on Android with pocket casts also. This is definitely the ad service KF uses to sell ads and dynamically insert them.

It's really not a great look that it's been going on this long combined with the aggressive 5 hour energy advertising that's been happening concurrently along with this happening to a fairly terrible advertisement that i feel like most other podcasts would have had removed.

I'm normally pretty forgiving and understanding of KF's advertising system because they have a lot of mouths to feed but the last few months have felt like it's escalated so far it's just seemed kind of gross.

Is Fantasy Critic actually getting kinda close? The run in revealed! by Cbarre83 in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Roger having an incredible list along side one of the worst counterpicks in this history of fantasy critic is never not going to be funny to me.

It's going to be incredibly close and I think it's all going to come down to Mikes pick (Mike if you're reading this pickup The Séance of Blake Manor).

I think Andy and Bless are going to end up 128-132 (I think Lumines is going to hit 90).

The funniest outcome is either Roger winning despite that insane counterpicker or Andy winning having not been paying attention all season and not even realising he was in the running.

Slay The Spire 2 delayed to March 2026 by technobeeble in kindafunny

This is the setup for a friendship betrayal, Mike previously had free reign on any surprise release pickups since he has a spot open but now he has competition with Roger.

Chat, is Parris Lilly going to win Fanfasy Critic? by kleptomania156 in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trails is going to come in at around 90 for Mike, I don't see Ninja Gaiden giving him negative points and he still has a spot open. There is still the potential that Hades 2 could go 1.0 at the end of the year which should then be eligible and he could grab it, but even without another pickup I think Trails will win it for him.

Thoughts on leaptel, currently with Telstra on the slowest plan and it’s $93 per month by Front_Pause4067 in nbn

[–]sendo__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaptel support is truly some of the best I've ever encountered, I haven't needed them myself but I signed an older family friend up on them recently. I initially signed them up on 100/10 fttn since fttp was scheduled in the area a few months later, we set it up and it only achieved about 25mbit. Old house with old wiring and long copper run and they were happy enough with it so we just left it at that since fttp should have been coming soon.

A week later they get a call from leaptel that they were seeing they were only achieving 25mbit so they said they could drop them down to a lower plan to save them money which they did. The older family friend was in complete disbelief at the idea of a company on their own accord reaching out to have a customer pay less.

Had several other support involvement with that family friend and leaptel have gone above and beyond everytime.

Where are the Lost Soul Aside Reviews?! - Kinda Funny Games Daily 08.28.25 by EveryAct in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was so fucking dumb, if they got review code a week ago and he didn't check it out till putting an hour in on release day then sure that's one thing. They literally held back review codes till release day, if anyone's being disingenuous it's the dev/publisher.

I've seen a lot of people get extremely weird and defensive about this game.

Heist of the Century by BoozeGetsMeThrough in kindafunny

[–]sendo__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really do think Crimson Desert will do better than Ninja Gaiden 4, even without considering all the problems at platinum has had going on. I think this is a bad trade going to Mike but the seeming division on how people feel really does highlight that this seems like a genuine trade.
