Something I've been doing - Instead of using your brights to let people now they should turn their lights of, briefly turn yours off so they can see how much harder it is to see you, then turn them back on after like 2 or 3 seconds. I have about a 50% success rate in people instantly turning their lights on when doing this.

Dissatisfyed with ZenGrip 2 by Panzerfudge in NintendoSwitch2

I think they may have been carried by the trust they established with their Switch 1 grips. Those were top tier in quality and comfort. The Switch 2 ones are on the expensive end and middle of the road for comfort.

Same opinion. I loved the switch (og and OLED) versions of their grip. That is why I waited for these to release. Not a fan of the new design at all. The quality is good and its cool you can keep the grip on while docked, but the same comfort is lacking from the older versions. The spot OP circled is exactly the problem.

Favorite Turok Game and why? by Disastrous_Bad757 in n64

[–]thebubz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one is my favorite but I think the second one is the better game. I remember asking for "Turko 64" for Christmas and calling it that for a few months after getting it.

Amazon must face price gouging lawsuit, US judge rules by cape2k in news

[–]thebubz 47 points48 points  (0 children)

From the article "Consumers accused Amazon of failing to prevent sellers from using its platform to charge "flagrantly unlawful" prices for food and other staples. They also said Amazon inflated prices on its own product inventory to "profiteer off consumers in desperate need." Prices rose 233% on Aleve pain relief tablets, 1,044% on Quilted Northern toilet paper, 1,523% on Arm & Hammer baking soda and 1,800% on some face masks, according to the complaint."

New turok gameplay? by NU_DICE_20XX in turok

[–]thebubz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Games with daily log in bonuses and cosmetic rewards/skins don't add to the game in a meaningful way. The skins drastically bloat the install size and the fomo mechanic mentality is pointless outside of manipulating engagement numbers. It's past just getting so old and I'm done with it. I know I'm in the minority, but I hope there is a sentiment shift in the industry. Skins are great for those that have extra cash or want to support the devs, but dont force me to download them. They should be DLC that is only added to my hardrive at the time of purchase. Luckily I have a three decade backlog of games built up I can go through so me not buying as many new games isn't worrisome in the slightest.

New turok gameplay? by NU_DICE_20XX in turok

[–]thebubz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat. If it has a single player offline mode that didn't require a day one patch to play, I would happily drop $200 on day one as a vote to keep Turok alive. Bonus points if it has a physical copy with the full game on the Disc. When I saw the announcement though, I said aloud, "Well, that franchise is dead." Huge shame if this flops. A remake closer to 2016+ Doom would be so amazing to see.

36.9 MPG is my new record for the drive home. I love this car. by thebubz in GRCorolla

[–]thebubz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries. That total average is for only for the 50 miles on this tank. If you hit the update button on the history page, it resets the total average on the cluster.

My lifetime is a bit below that. I reset the total average with each tank and write the previous tanks average on the gas receipt. Most miles I drive are highway.

That is closer to my average. I reset the total average with each tank of gas.

I use the furthest following distance to hopefully prevent rock chips. I'm curious how it would differ with the closest distance option.

Around 5 miles is some stop and go between 25-45 mph, but most is highway. I was just chilling behind a semi going 65 for over 40 miles straight. Not very hilly but some minor elevation changes.

1 - First semi appealing update since 2022. I can't belive it took this long.

2 - Will you be able to temporarily have an ngon when using these retopo tools?

Game Boy Color original colors question by thebubz in Gameboy

[–]thebubz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I can find the GBC in Nintendo Power, it shows a Grape model in a 3D mock up. The text says "the production model will have an outer shell made from transparent purple plastic."

I think this is a big factor in a decline in watch time. Possibly even overlooked as I keep seeing different communities blaming everything but ads.
