If you already have a capable PC, use steam link or sunshine. Both work well, sunshine better for Linux, but works perfectly fine to play PC games on your couch with a controller.

and then it would mail a request for the audio file to the developer.

🤣🤣

Omg their stupid ass 4x normal price proprietary memory sticks lmao

Shareholders gotta eat!

Give users ability to host their own like other games, RUST, L4D, etc.

Tax write-offs like Batgirl?

Enshittifying

These things used to be funny and irk me a little, but everyone is on their phone and dealing with life, your mind read it the right way, who really cares.

Not when $ is involved, fuck everyone, gimme my dolla!

Requires internet always it seems.

I’ve always had good experiences pirating games, starting with no-cd cracks in the 90s. Showed me games did not have to be in the drive to work, so they lied off the bat. No thanks. I’ve paid for hundreds of games I’ve never played, I will not pay for Nintendo games/devices or other shady, scummy companies.

Dan Bongino!

That’s Black Mirror Season X

Oh no. Anyway.

This is a very specialized job, your avg joe is not going to do it. Also, in the many years I’ve been in IT, I’ve never even seen a video of a platter reconstructed and get data off it.

Sure, but if we’re repurposing a decade old machine, I doubt a 1TB drive is required. Learn to live within 256 or 512, those are not super expensive. And don’t need nvme, sata is perfectly acceptable.

SSDs are cheap enough, no sense in using a 10 year old mechanical drive to save $30.

Bud, if you put that platter back together after I snipped it, you deserve every bit of data you get off it, 1000%

They’re recyclable snipped.

Mine, sure. I replaced 15 desktops that day, no fucking way.

Snip

Yeah lmao. Wipe one drive at a time with a USB connector. No thanks. I don’t have bulk drive operation equipment and then it ties up a computer doing the work.

They’re 500gb mechanical hard drives with financial data on them. Snip and done. No time wasted, not reusing them.

I won’t even give hard drives when recycling a computer, I pull and smash myself. Last set of old drives I cut in half with bolt cutters.

Exactly. If they want to block their network, fine, but to not allow you to play physical games you bought, fuck that. I’ll never give Nintendo another dollar. I have a steam deck and hacked switch, fuck them. And I share all their rooms on soulseek, including switch roms.

If they think you’re doing anything they don’t like, they can remote block you from Nintendo networks. Which I’m fine with, but it prevents you from being able to reset the device or play local games.

So anything you bought is now useless and unplayable, they got your money, so fuck you.

I was going to get one second hand to dick around with until this. I’ll stick to PC and steam link.

And brick your shit (without refunds) for the slightest discourse against Nintendo. Fuck Nintendo.

Pirate it. Fuck Ubisoft.

Agree. 3 got me back into single player fps at the time. Blood dragon was just extra icing.

They’re all on archive.org, can use jdownloader2 to grab them all quickly

.iso format, same thing.

You don’t NEED new stuff to play games. My computer is pushing 8 years old, I just upgrade the nvme or graphics card when needed. I got a refurb 3070 last year for $450 with warranty, can get one on Amazon now for under $300 without warranty. You don’t need 64gb to play games, 16 is plenty and you can get motherboards that use ddr4 fairly cheap.

Look around, second hand market is fine, just very the parts. This 3070 will last me a few years minimum.

Same. Looks good, but not for me. Nephew loves it.

Pirate 🦜🦜 time

I love new Vegas, but none of the mods I found fix the 1gb memory leak error. Crashes so often, it’s unplayable for me.

Feel like you just want to argue, I’m gonna leave now.

And by proof, show that they are not making profit on sales of the hardware. I assert they absolutely are and will just for $$$.

Weird you’re defending $175 parking lmao.

Unless you have insider information/proof, this is just speculation and I don’t believe it based on their past greedy little money grabs. They’re going to milk it until everyone has one. There are people who have multiple switch 1s, different switches for certain games, colors, modded ones, customized ones. The list goes on. The goal is to extract money from your account to theirs any way possible.

I mean, $7/month just to backup your games. Why is there no local way to copy a fucking file?

As far as Disney, don’t care. Unless there is armed security guarding your shit, $175 is just extortion.

X (doubt)

They’re too greedy to let things go at cost now, they know parents and fans will get it anyway. Look at parking alone for disney world, like $175.

Greed has ruined companies. Nintendo won’t sell bubble bobble for NES, I have to find a used cartridge or do without. They don’t sell nor support it. So I use a rom and they cry about that. They don’t get it both ways, fuck Nintendo. I’ll never stop seeding/sharing my massive rom collection, switch games included.

Force a bunch of people to buy it now and never play it, adding to their collection of unplayed games. And to pocket money off past games again.

I never saw a major performance difference, but being able to switch windows without the game possibly crashing is great. Especially in single player games, sometimes you just need to pause and check laundry, or check email. Alt tab and good to go.

That’s the benefit I use it for. Some games force minimize when you tab off and they can crash when you try to tab back to them.
