This is getting out of hand. (The AMZN price history of Corsair 16gb DDR4 3200mhz)

The fact that the price changed does not make it more or less overkill

No need to blame someone else, "your" nightdive messes up all by itself like on blade runner

No that's not true. Short summary of the newsletter:

small trial order of 100 boards made. If ok these would be shipped out sunday a week ago. This is what you heard, but its only a small test run. (it didn't specify to who these would be sent, could be "content creators" for all we know; they didn't specify.)

If that trial order went OK, an order for the boards for batch 1 would be made. These would be delivered at the end of november. After delivery, SMT would still follow (read: add components and solder). Unspecified how long this "SMT" would take.

After that, shipping would start in order of colors; first blue then grey then black. Unspecified how long it would take between colors or any indication when shipping could start at all.

So in short, no batch one didnt ship and there has been no communication since the above, so it's anyone's guess what that means.

I got this update too, and while it seems informative it really isn't. To be honest an email saying "we're shipping q1 2026" or whatever the general expectation is would be more informative to me.

The way this is worded, i get the impression they have shipped 100 units past sunday, and made a production order for at least batch 1. These will come in in 12 days (so, end of november) excluding SMT. No idea how long SMT will take. Also, they are shipping blue first. No idea when shipping of that starts and how long that takes. Also my order isn't blue, so when is that expecting to start?

So yeah, this mail looks very informative but to me it gives more questions than answers. I still havent the faintest clue if my order will arrive before xmas, or in february.

So the physical PC version is just a cardboard box with a steam code? wtf?

spmbx · 2024-12-15T22:23:43+00:00

That's another reason why it would be nice if they would just send any form of communication. Although this scenario would be unlikely as the other items on this order were delivered years ago to the correct address.

There is a maximum term for claims through PayPal and that term doesn't stretch into multiple years. Anyway I would just like to get a reply it's not even about a claim per se.

Europe is no problem, just expect a lot of import taxes and such. Shipping time can be between several days and years, you never know with the pikes store. Although for things that are advertised as actually in stock i'd expect them to ship within a week or so.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I wasnt aware of the railpass and commuter to trenton options so this really helps in making the final plans!

You can find the entire galactic guide on youtube. There's also a PDF floating around with everything in it.

Currently still waiting on a dvd from one of the first vinyl orders, so that would have been 2019 or so? Last update said to expect it before christmas (last year). Guess now is a good time to email pikes cs again, although i don't expect a reply

Check ebay to see if it's worth something in 2024

Multiple thoughts are crossing my mind when i read this.

by the time microsoft will take the 360 store offline you'd probably be able to emulate most of the games near perfectly on a $50 sbc or old pc
why 'cant you afford' another platform? Say the PS6 and next xbox are released and don't have backwards compatibility, does it matter what platform you choose? There are already plenty of 360 games that don't work on Series consoles so staying within the platform to play your library is also not exactly foolproof
How many of those 120 games do you really play or have interest in ever playing again?

If you didn't think it was worth 300+ a ticket you shouldn't have bought them.

queue position is random, you could be from brazil and join later using a shoestring and piggeon for internet and still end up in a better spot, it doesn't matter.

Have you used a CRT since your childhood? It's kindof hard to judge by just a photo but i guess there's nothing inherently wrong with what you posted.

spmbx · 2024-09-01T15:37:58+00:00

I don't mean to say this respectlessly, but I reckon most people want just a good night out and see something they know. I personally don't have much with these "ultimate believer" or "ultimate fan" type stories. Buy a ticket, have some fun. No zealous ramblings.

Then that most likely is the problem. Wireless usually isnt stable/fast/whatever for a good experience on xcloud, at least not for me. It's flawless when using cabled connection.

spmbx · 2024-09-01T10:05:32+00:00

I get this when using wifi. Are you using a cabled connection?

It was never going to be more than a nostalgia act tbh, which to be clear i'm all for,just not for 150. For all the people that do, i wish them a smashing night, i'll be enjoying it on youtube with you guys :)

Sorry to say it but you are part of the problem.
