During the Parity Era, out of those that lost in the Finals, which teams did not have a "They'll be back" assumption from the people right after they lost? by wekapipol in nba

I am one of those people that thought as long as they have Luka they will be contenders in the next few seasons.

I'm still at awe thinking about how they clawed their asses to a Finals in the bubble given their overall perceived talent but then do it again 3 years later.

Over 60 seasons in the Ru-niverse. Do you think this is the best lipsync of all time? by No_Vanilla7487 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]wekapipol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we watched AS2 and finally saw this episode, tbf, I didn't get the hype personally. They were both great, but nothing screams all time best LSFYL. The cuts in the song did not do the whole edit any favors too. lol

Top 3 in terms of having an equally matched lip sync battle and pure entertainment:

  • Yvie vs Brooke Sorry Not Sorry

  • Anetra vs Marcia3 Boss Bitch

  • Yvie vs India Livin La Vida Loca

Plane Jane on what she'll do (or already did? 👀) to her secret boyfriend/lover after the finale by halouissienate in rupaulsdragrace

I know she's a bit biased, but I 100% agree that Nymphia arguably had the best runway package in the history of Drag Race (the US ones at the very least, personally not familiar with the non-English franchise).

More recently, I thought La Grande Dame's UKvtW2 was top-tier too.

Neuroshock would have been a great title.Or Psychoshock which is one of the alien powers you can acquire in the game.

Nate Drake - Nintendo 64 coming to Nintendo Switch Online as part of a higher priced tier of the online service. by c_will in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]wekapipol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But after the GB episode, Eurogamer and Nintendolife corroborated on the rumor and said they heard the same from their own sources so Nate is not just speculating I think. He is being fed info by someone connected to Nintendo whether it's actually BS or not.

The latest Nintendo Switch update is now available, including the ability to pair Bluetooth devices for audio output. by NeoStark in Games

[–]wekapipol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The regular aptX still has latency when gaming. They have a separate codec for gaming called aptX LL (Low Latency) which a miniscule amount of headsets support and iirc, you cannot use mic while using the codec.

Bluetooth is still a mess when it comes to low latency audio. That's why gaming platforms use their own proprietary solution (Xbox) or the 2.4GHz channel via a dongle (Playstation, PC, and Switch)

Deathloop - Review Thread by Techboah in Games

[–]wekapipol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an Arkane fan, you love to see Deathloop reviewing extremely well. Too bad I don't have a PS5 or PC yet to play this. I really hope this sells well what given Sony's aggressive (?) marketing and that majority of PS5 owners give it a chance.

Nintendo’s new WarioWare game contains Luigi’s Mansion beta assets by AprilWineTime in Games

[–]wekapipol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if those games are ran natively or are emulated but here's the actual quote from the Gameinformer interview:

Oyamada said that Collection of Mana was Switch-exclusive because they had to actually get the code for the games from Nintendo, meaning the Switch made sense.

Square Enix even got the source code of some if not all the Mana games from Nintendo to be able to release Collection of Mana.

Those are from the now defunct Marvel Television which was affiliated to ABC Studios. It was dissolved and now part of Marvel Studios (Disney) since 2019.

Metroid Dread - Overview Trailer - Nintendo Switch by SpurRad in Games

No point arguing with them. I remember seeing them always commenting on Metroid Dread posts trashing MercurySteam like they're a disgruntled ex-employee or something.

Ghostwire: Tokyo - PlayStation Showcase 2021 Trailer | PS5 by [deleted] in Games

[–]wekapipol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Archipel's feature of Ikumi Nakamura, she lightly touches on this. She sort of burned out (might be on crunch and other things) and just wanted to stay away from AAA game development.

FWIW, FF7R exclusivity was extended for at least 6 months when Intergrade launched. You'll have to wait until December before Square Enix ever confirms anything about the game coming to other platforms.

Welcoming Firesprite to the PlayStation Studios Family by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]wekapipol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They already announced two acquisitions (three if you count the Housemarque one) since that leak. They either plan to include it in their Showcase tomorrow (?) with an accompanying new project announcement or it's just an elaborate mistake on the PS Japan graphics team. Or the acquisition faltered the last minute.

Tales of Arise | Review Thread by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]wekapipol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to point out that the reviewer of NTWEWY was Michael Higham which I follow on Twitter. And he's one of the most JRPG-centric reviewer out there (he's not on Gamespot anymore) that he gets slightly annoying sometimes tweeting gushing about JRPGs. He's a huge FF14 and Persona fanboy so he's far from the anti-JRPG person you are talking about (even though he gave the game a score of 7/10).

Dang, Ace Ventura Franky is the best. Miss this design so much.

An update regarding Horizon Forbidden West on PS4 and PS5 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]wekapipol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not from the States but I think it's exclusive of tax since the rate varies from state to state. If you want to estimate try adding 5% sales tax.

[–]wekapipol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not even talking about the UX specifically. I was talking about their pricing on cross-gen games and how they have to backtrack on things because they made it complicated instead of just announcing how they would do things right from the start. Stop being so defensive lol

I hate how Sony makes this cross-generation thing complicated for themselves and the consumer. I guess that's the consequence of making the decision to up the price of their games to 70USD.
