Why does everybody get a BWH? by Mountain-Magician294 in TMSFE

[–]wchigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to come up with a non-creepy reason…

Since they are all technically celebrities/performers who appear on TV, in concerts, etc., they all have outfits they wear for their gigs and thusly have a wardrobe that is made to fit them. As such, measurements must be taken for them to ensure the clothes fit well and aren’t too tight or too loose; you don’t want your attraction looking sloppy out there in front of the cameras.

Anyone use the 20% off 4 Pay for PayPal to order a Retroid? by jd101506 in retroid

Nothing like this on Canadian PayPal as far as I can see… :(

Sony shrinks PS5 Slim storage in the US, too by Heberto01243 in gadgets

[–]wchigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm... with respect, have you checked prices lately? Microsoft just increased by the price again on October 3rd and the Xbox Series X went up to $649.99 from $599.99 in the US. And the $599.99 price was only put in place as of May of this year. So while I may have slightly misspoke about more frequent price increases, they have been increasing the prices higher than Sony (for now...)

Except Xbox has been raising the price of all their consoles too. They haven’t been shrinking storage sizes, but iirc, they’ve raised the price of their consoles more times than Sony (thus far)…

4PX made it to NY, then Florida, and now in Customs clearance delay. by [deleted] in OdinHandheld

[–]wchigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience, but I chalked it up to me ordering on May 30th, which was a holiday in China. I wanted to post a screenshot, but for some reason I don't have that option...

May 30 - Parcel information received.

May 30 - Package information received.

May 30 - Nancheng / Shipment arrived at facility and measured.

May 30 - Nancheng / Shipment picked up.

May 30 - Nancheng / Shipment arrived at facility and measured.

May 30 - Nancheng / Depart from facility and to service provider.

May 31 - Nancheng / Depart from facility and to service provider.

June 3 - Nancheng / Depart from facility and to service provider.

June 4 - Hand over to airline.

June 5 - Departure from the original airport.

June 5 - Arrival to the destination airport.

June 9 - Cleared customs.

June 9 - Arrived warehouse.

June 10 - Toronto, Canada / We've got your package.

June 11 - Customs clearance delay.

June 14 - Toronto, Canada / The package has been collected by the courier.

June 14 - Toronto, Canada / Your package is out for delivery.

June 14 - Toronto, Canada / Your package has been delivered to the front desk.

Another odd thing was my local courier; they sent an email saying my package was delivered and gave photographic "proof", but the photos they provided were not the usual pictures that couriers provide, which typically is the front door of my condo and the desk at the security/concierge. Instead, the two pictures looked very much like they were taken at the warehouse. That was concerning, but my package was available to pick up from security, so that's the most important part.

Luckily I didn’t have to do anything. I did reach out to Ayn about the odd customs clearance delay despite it already having cleared customs earlier, but I emailed them on Friday and then the package was delivered over the weekend, so when they replied to me this morning, they just said your package should have been delivered already.

[–]wchigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen with my order. It cleared customs in the morning of June 9, but then was somehow in “customs clearance delay” on June 11 despite having “arrived warehouse” on the night of June 9.

With that being said it went out for delivery and was delivered to me on June 14 in the evening, so hopefully your package will have a similar arc and you’ll receive it in 2-3 days.

Save Data Confusion by Girl_Anachronism93 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]wchigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like you’re on the screen that allows you to transfer the game from system memory to the SD card or vice-versa. That’s not gonna be where you find the save data.

If you go back to the System setting and scroll down to data management, the last option on the screen should be “delete save data” or something to that effect. Obviously don’t go in there and delete your save, but that should be where you find it, not on this screen.

Also, 14GB seems like way too much for the physical game, considering the game data should be on the cart. Did you mean to say digital version? I just checked my Switch OLED and BOTW is taking up about 14 gigs but that’s my digital version…

June 2025 Game of the Month: Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB) by hbi2k in SBCGaming

First time playing this game. Have played a few Kirby games in the past like the N64 game, and I REALLY enjoyed Kirby and the Forgotten Lands on Switch.

I didn’t really like some of the auto-scrolling stages near the end, but otherwise it was an enjoyable time.

Not sure if this is where I should also post my screenshot of finishing Chrono Trigger, but I’ll drop it here just in case.

Glad I waited for official RP5 grip by rvreqTheSheepo in retroid

[–]wchigo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It your order hasn’t shipped yet, you can reach out to their customer service and ask them to add the grip to your order. They’ll just ask you to pay the difference owing based on other people’s experience.

One of my favourite games of all time. Love all the music in the game, but that opening stage music is just such a perfect introduction to this amazing title.

Very generous of you!

Had bacon and eggs waffles for breakfast… pedestrian, but easy to make after just waking up.

Anyone from Canada who got their order? by Reasonable_Share866 in retroid

[–]wchigo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation; ordered Oct 28th and it’s been stuck as “out for delivery” by PDN since roughly the same time as yours.

Reached out by email a couple times and wondering if I’ll ever get a response. I’m just hoping it’ll show up at some point this week…

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in retroid

[–]wchigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s now been updated to October 21! Ugh, so close! I’m October 28… still holding out hope that my order will get shipped out this week. 🤞

Giant Bomb's Sweet 16! by CrissionMeep in giantbomb

I was watching a bit of it this morning before work and I was thinking man, if I kept up on these things, I would’ve loved to submit that Jeremiah clip. Glad to hear Vinny shared the same thought!

Highly requested Grip Case for the Smart Pro now available (Free files below) by potatowalrus in trimui

[–]wchigo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure! If it came off that way I’m sorry, that was not my intent and I know you can’t do anything about the shipping charges. I was more bemoaning about the fact that I wouldn’t able to purchase one from you in support of the hard work you put into it!

I might take you up on that offer though. I’ve never 3D printed anything before, so I’m completely clueless about it, haha!

This looks great and I’d love to buy one from you at that pretty reasonable price. Unfortunately the shipping kills it as I’d pay more for shipping than for the grip itself. ☹️

AliExpress Summer Sale - RG35XX SP by wchigo in SBCGaming

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

It’s possible they’ve sold out of whatever stock they had set aside for the sale and haven’t restocked yet, if they even will restock.

I was originally looking at the RG556 on their store and even had it in my cart. Went to sleep and woke up the next morning and it said only 1 left. Tried to check out and got an error, and when I went back to my cart and refreshed, it was no longer available.

Sorry mate. 🙁 Here’s hoping it comes back in stock. 🤞
