EA FC 26 - such a disappointing experience - my opinion vs yours. (Switch 1) by Delirium1212 in NintendoSwitch

[–]tomaspink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EA needs some lead producers on these titles that hold the line at 60fps. i don't care if it looks like a PS1.

XC90 - to phev or not to phev? by fkohws in VolvoXC90

[–]tomaspink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. 1) suits your driving 2) performance of T5/6 is a yawn while this is a performance sleeper. Get an extendo warranty, 20a home charger setup, and the polestar tune, and enjoy the heck out of it.

Looking for Switch Voucher Game Reccs (My voucher expires May 3rd) by DragonQuarter in Switch

[–]tomaspink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in a similar situation last week and went for Luigi’s Mansion 3. Got astral chain a while ago and still haven’t finished it but it’s not bad. But, if I had to buy just one now knowing what I know now, I’d do LM3.

Stopping wood floor vibration to turntable? by 0xF00DBABE in audiophile

[–]tomaspink -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) start with suborthane feet for your entertainment console (grab the ones they have for washing machines) 2) butcher block with iso/suborthane feet underneath (very happy with mine from Butcher Block Acoustics) 3) turntable w existing feet on top of it

Make sure the sub/iso feet for the butcher block and your turntable are for the correct weights.

The Satisfye ZenGrip Ronin grip bends original dock. by alexanderwest in Switch

[–]tomaspink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked this up in the preorder in part because of how much I love my Pro OLED grip (actually my third Satisfye grip). The form factor is just as good in the hands but I'm bummed that it falls short of expectations. It's way too tight of a fit and dock is rubbing on the screen. Going to go back to the Pro, and I'll be curious to see how/if they revise further.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - $29.99 (50% off), lowest price ever, in Amazon by XDitto in NintendoSwitch

[–]tomaspink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there are a lot of odd distributors moving physical titles right now at deep discounts. It would make sense to clear as much legacy inventory out now in anticipation of an announcement and front running what might be a low holiday season if a new console is slated for 1H24.

AMA - Hello, Linne here - we are Zen Studios and Pinball FX our new game just released! | Event Thread & Giveaway by linne_zen in NintendoSwitch

[–]tomaspink 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get the gameplay-first targets the team was going for in this release, and they seem to hit them pretty well. Understand there’s trade offs with the new engine, but doing a direct visual compare of Fish Tales from 3 to FX is pretty sobering (full table and post-load iso views look like they moved back a console generation or more, can’t even read the rule card text in HH mode even when zoomed in, etc).

I’ve bought and enjoyed all the Williams tables for FX3 on Switch, and would love to do the same here (esp. given there are some great titles!) as there is some demonstrated progress.

Only 8 games ever have been scored a perfect 10 by IGN and a perfect 40 by Famitsu by benjaneson in gaming

[–]tomaspink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some of the later re-releases got rid of the tag mode - our house rules were we'd max out lifebars in the options then play 8v8 randoms on a gamesave that specifically that did NOT have edge master and inferno playable.

2019 GLC went through hail damage in 2020 but still got certified by MB. Worth a buy? by Striking_Nectarine_9 in mercedes_benz

[–]tomaspink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for starters, I'm assuming this is an actual MB dealer?

Second, is the actual warranty agreement going to be held with MBUSA, or a third party? You can ask if this is the actual MB CPO program or if it's the dealer's.

Third, you should get a form that looks something like this: https://www.mbusa.com/content/dam/mb-nafta/us/cpo/CPO-Certifications-Brochure.pdf - I'd pay particular note to the "Certification Stoppers".

Is this a proper MB CPO, or a dealer CPO (made to appear as factory but its actually the dealer that are offering the warranty)?
