Re: Video: Will Switch First-Party Games Ever Get A Permanent Price Drop?

Got a Steam Deck a couple of weeks ago and it's really opened my eyes to the difference in value between PC and console gaming. Today, I bought a Resident Evil bundle that included 10 Resident Evil games including the remakes of 2 and 3 for under €30! A "sale" price for the likes of New Super Mario Brothers is always about €40. It's ridiculous.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Has Leaked And Is Fully Playable On The Steam Deck

@BloodNinja Fishy? All I'm saying is if you turn on your Steam Deck, go into desktop mode, go into Discovery (the app store on desktop mode) you will find Yuzu readily available to install. It's then a simple matter of right clicking on Yuzu and selecting Add To Steam and voilà, Yuzu is available in your Steam Deck. Yuzu might not be available on the Steam Store but it is readily available on the Steam Deck, it's how the guy on Twitter has Xenoblade 3 running on it. These are all facts, nothing to be suspicious about

Anybody know where I could pick up a Sonic the Hedgehog ceramic bowl? I've been looking online, including the Sega shop linked in this article but can't find one. The closest I found was a noodle bowl but the cost including shipping was very high. Looking to give it to my son as a breakfast bowl.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Hey, try this, it worked for me:

Go to System Settings > Internet > Internet Settings.
Select your wifi network from the network list.
Select “Change Settings.”
Scroll down and change DNS Settings to “Manual.”
Set your Primary DNS address to 8.8.8.8
Set your Secondary DNS address to 8.8.4.4
Select “Save.”
Back out and retry the download.
If this doesn’t work, or it somehow creates new connection issues, go back to the network settings and change the DNS settings back to “Automatic.

Ah. Sorry man. Very strange that it would work for one person but not another. Just to let you know the steps I followed in order were, clear the cache in system settings, restart the Switch, follow the steps I posted above, clicked on the download on the home screen, after the error click Continue.

Hope you get it sorted soon, I was pulling my hair out because I had just bought Hades and Crash Trilogy and they wouldn't download! 🤬😂

Not downloading for you either? I just tried the following from Lifehacker.com and it worked for me:

Go to System Settings > Internet > Internet Settings.
Select your wifi network from the network list.
Select “Change Settings.”
Scroll down and change DNS Settings to “Manual.”
Set your Primary DNS address to 8.8.8.8
Set your Secondary DNS address to 8.8.4.4
Select “Save.”
Back out and retry the download.
If this doesn’t work, or it somehow creates new connection issues, go back to the network settings and change the DNS settings back to “Automatic.”
