Re: Soapbox: Here's How I'd Fix The Pokémon Series

DanTheSausage

Pokemon needs to grow up or at least have a game for grown ups. The only challange the games offer are competitive online battles between breeders. At that point just release a colosseum game with perfect stat pokemon for everyone...

The concept needs to evolve and sheed this "pure" image.

Re: Nintendo Has Released A Free Online Japanese Magazine Full Of Game Ads And Adorable Art

To advance the switch, they need to leave the tegra behind. They can't reach "mobile" high performance with a 5.5y old soc, while having good battery life and thermals.

A more premium switch model, with increased performance while still retaining all current games and maybe improved per game performance with updates.

Personal wish would be a PSVita clone switch mini with full features.

Playing it on PC rn. Controlls are epic with kb/m and it's lot's of fun. I only now have a bot of trouble with the lack of a map but i'm like at the maybe third 6-seals gate.

Best part is what is hardly mentioned in reviews: options! until now, i have 3 stages of mass and every stage has 3 different sets of abilities. Allows you to play more diverse. Also the control ability is amazing if you do it right.

Re: This Sealed Copy Of Super Mario Bros. Just Sold For $114,000

People need to know that collecting can be more than just have all the games, card or coins, whatever one collects. I doubt a gaming enthusiast bought that game to preserve it for all eternity. Highly likely that it was bought as an asset, since it's something you don't have to disclose in the US tax thing (since it's a game).

That one unpopular dude that bought the rights to some meds and made em 1000x more expensive also revealed that he does this, but he invests in magic the gathering cards (reserve list cards).

Re: Nintendo Reiterates Plans For Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Data Workarounds

DanTheSausage

Nonsensical BS. One of the games with a lot of rng, personal investment and an endless timesink doesn't have a way to back up save data... Ofc, nintendo won't do much because it will definitely not hurt sales...

So big burns nintendo did with the switch for me: No Bluetooth, No backup for my most important games, no patching up some joy con functions in games for the lite (SM:O) and no TV dock function on the lite.

Re: Alienware's Impressive Switch-Like Concept UFO Wins Best-In-Show Award

DanTheSausage

I love how 95% of all reports on the UFO call it switch like and compare it to it. Dude, ever heard of the Razer Edge Pro? A windows tablet with a nvidia GT640LE and a i7 3517U. 999USD, had a detachable controller, a extensive dock and a keyboard. Pluss hot-swapable batteries. Thing was mad.

The UFO is the second coming of that thing, but hey, "switch like" gets more clicks.

Likely this will sell for 1000usd. The i7 CPU alone are like 380-400USD for any system integrator, even dell. If they plan to go with a eGPU dock, it will cost 2000 or more.

Re: Ninja Thinks Pro Players And Streamers Who Cheat Should Be Treated Differently

DanTheSausage

First: No, just because you are any from of content creator, you shouldn't get a get-out-of-jail card.
Second: As a "pro" and "influencer" and just as a human with brain, one should know that cheating is forbidden.
Third: If he had any brain, he would have contacted Epic and asked for a collaboration in this, even call it education in how to spot a cheater. But no, he had to be a lil' crybaby about the fact, that he went and ruined the experience for others just to make money.
Four: Stop asking for better treatment, the world is already unfair in many regards and moneysacks and influencers get away with way to much. At least leave gaming alone.

Re: Rumour: Nvidia's New Tegra X1+ Chip Could Make Switch Performance "Up To 25% Faster"

DanTheSausage

Rumour has it that the "Switch pro" will feature a SD 8CX due to much higher performance at the same power consumption. This rumour was backed up by the fact that nintendo was hiring programmers to create a switch emulator, so you can keep playing switch games made on tegra basis on the SD8CX.

It wasn't specified if the X1+ is getting a 25% increase in GPU or CPU performance, with the first being a bit more important. Also the biggest bottleneck for performance is the bandwith and memory speed, which causes the lags spikes in links awakening (loading stuff, not graphics), which is not adressed in just a clock boost.
