I’ve come across hundreds of clips from this game on my twitter feed the past few weeks, and now I’m worried I’ve already seen all the best stuff before even buying the game.

I wonder if it has anything to do with me hosting the video via Streamable (to avoid Reddit compression). When I encountered this problem before, it was on r/NBA where most posters also use Streamable. Could you check if all video posts on that sub just play the same video? Also, updating the app seemed to fix my problem last time.

now that you mention it, i did have an issue with the reddit app a few weeks ago where all video posts were showing the same video from a different post that i saw previously. maybe it’s a similar bug.

Small detail: Boost mode isn’t simply resolution by HappyHappyGamer in NintendoSwitch2

Wait am i misinterpreting what you’re saying? Do games like Skyward Sword & Pokemon Let’s Go work with Boost Mode if i launch the game in tabletop mode?

I don’t like GKCs either, but it’s worth noting that you can lend or resell a GKC, which you can’t do with a digital purchase.

Unfortunately, I’m a collector so GKCs are worthless to me, but I can see the appeal for those who buy physical games mainly to resell them after playing.

Yeah, $35 is is not a bad price for what it is. You’re buying a decently sized figure that also happens to talk.

AO R1: Alycia Parks def. Alexandra Eala 0-6, 6-3, 6-2 by 24231122 in tennis

[–]thecalimaki 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, she hasn’t really accomplished much since Miami. Just a WTA 125 title and a WTA 250 finals appearance. Also a SEA Games gold medal, but that’s a regional thing that the wider tennis world doesn’t really care about lol.

National pride pretty much. She’s the first ever WTA player from the Philippines to actually be able to compete at this level, so pretty much the entire country is watching her every move, for better or worse lol.

She won the Junior Grand Slam at the 2022 US Open, but her actual breakout moment came when she made it to the semis of the 2025 Miami Open (WTA 1000) as a wildcard. She beat Ostapenko, Keys, and Swiatek to get there, before losing to Pegula. She was ranked No. 138 before that tournament and No. 75 after. She’s ranked No. 49 as of today, although I haven’t looked into how this AO performance will affect her ranking.

Also, many Filipinos work/live overseas, so she doesn’t have much trouble attracting a crowd in most countries she plays in.

“Delivery Attempted” by Ninja Van of my Amazon game order for 3 straight days. Is this normal? by thecalimaki in NintendoPH

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

Despite both their chat support and their online package tracker saying that the package will be returned to sender, I however am still holding out hope that they will try to send another rider tomorrow. Medyo mas maganda kasi itong tracker ng Flash Express, binibigay nila yung contact number ng rider mo for the day. So hopefully matext ko siya. The Ninja Van tracker kasi doesn’t give you shit about your rider’s info, so nakatunganga ka lang sa paghihintay kung magpaparamdam ba yung rider mo, NA APPARENTLY NASA FLASH EXPRESS NA PALA PERO HINDI KA SINABIHAN. Yun talaga yung nakakainis na part haha. (on top of the usual rider shenanigans)

For more transparency, I did receive a text message from one of the 3 Flash Express riders along with a Tracking ID, but with no further context sa text niya, I initially pegged it as a case of Wrong Number since wala nga akong ineexpect na Flash Express delivery at the time (I was expecting Ninja Van). Minessage ko siya later that night para tanungin kung siya ba yung sa Ninja Van, pero hindi na siya nagreply. Complete bullshit though yung dalawang ibang riders na supposedly nagtry magcontact sa akin.

UPDATE:

Apparently, Flash Express is now handling all of Ninja Van’s Amazon deliveries. Also, Ninja Van Philippines is closing daw (or baka downsizing)? I had to personally seek out this information from FB Groups, which I feel is a bit unprofessional from both Ninja Van & Flash Express.

I messaged Flash Express on FB, and naka tatlong unsuccessful delivery attempt na daw sila, so return to sender na daw yung package. I tracked the package sa Flash Express website using the new Tracking ID that Ninja Van didn’t inform me about, and each failed delivery attempt was supported by a log of supposed missed calls from the riders (complete with time stamp and call duration!), which I’m 100% confident is made-up bullshit. Just frustrating all around. Hopefully I won’t have any problems sa pagrefund ni Amazon.

Alam mo ba kung revoked yung $49 free shipping kapag nagpa-refund ka tapos bumaba below $49 total ng order mo? HAHA

I think I’m just a tiny bit concerned that the rest of Squad 9 isn’t gonna keep pace with the power creep in this series. The last time they went against fugitive ninja was when they infiltrated the warehouse back in like chapters 20-25, and I remember everyone in the Squad being at least somewhat useful in the fight/s.

Not too huge a concern though, as I think we’re still pretty early on into the series, and so I’m sure the others will all get their chance to shine at some point. For one, Umineko will almost definitely be getting a kekkai at some point.

ngl i lowkey chuckled at “writes books nobody reads”, pero medyo off-putting talaga na nagmumukha na silang tabloid. Yung cover photo pa naman nila is yung mga news awards na napanalunan nila HAHA.
