Hey 100 how are your thoughts now this far into FFX?

I was going to play again but the unskippable cutscenes pushed me to actually play FFX-2 for the first time and I'm liking it. I miss Blitzball though.

you can beat it in less than 2 hours. $15 is stretching it, I feel $10

X-2 has the distinction of being fun, goofy and extremely easy to become OP in like the first three hours.

Or get a certain setup going overnight and have giga White Mages that can do everything.

Details? There's too many good games so I'd like to blitz through this.

You know how they sell very average quality t-shirts for literally $500? That's the same as NFTs. The fashion industry has been keeping scams and money laundering in front of us all this time. It just got more obvious when it applied to blockchain jpegs.

Not looking forward to the cyberpocalypse where they get the bright idea to use Picross implemented NFTs to trick people into thinking they're good (NFTs, not Picross. Picross is good.)

It's only going to get worse, people can't afford anything so they're going all in on anything they think will make them rich. Kinda like lottery tickets except that's real money.

I'm playing Vice City the minute it unlocks and I'll post my good as hell opinions on it.

Kept going back and forth between Switch or PS5 and realized there's no way in hell the graphics will look any better between 4K or 1080, but I WOULD play the hell out of it in handheld mode at work or whatever.

Now if I could just get an OLED.

Let me know how it is, I'm living vicariously through you here

e: I wasn't going to get an OLED but I'm probably going to with the Deck being delayed.

ok i bought gta and have only played 3 so far but it doesn't seem great. the resolution is sub-hd in handheld mode and it doesn't even come close to sticking a solid 30 fps, which is disappointing to say the least for a game this old. the new character models are meh. they don't look very good but the old ones didn't either. the vehicle draw distance is still pretty bad and traffic visibly phases in a lot. the new control scheme and targeting system is good and it feels like they've subtly improved the overall vehicle physics as well, although it's still pretty goofy. i also appreciate that they added a gps route to the minimap. overall though it feels only marginally less phoned-in than the existing mobile ports. i really love these games, am glad to have them on switch, and will definitely play through them all, but i wish rockstar would give more of a poo poo about preserving them in the best state possible. imagining a gta remaster with the care and attention of a nightdive release just makes me sad because we'll probably never get one

I was gonna buy it but I'm gonna get SMTV instead. Seems the wise investment atm

I picked up a Split Pad Pro today at Walmart, let's see if it's as good as everyone raves about. It looks comically oversized on my Switch, none of the pictures I'd seen prepared me for how thick this controller is in comparison to the Switch unit.

its so good. rests so great in your hands

Speaking of the Split Pad Pro, I bought some Binbok rgb knock-offs from Nyxi Gaming, and I love them.

Bought KOTOR, have never played, hopefully the combat isn't as poo poo as some of you make out.

its hard to explain but the binboks have a large base like where your ring/pinky is at, it's kinda uncomfortable for me so I've stuck to the Split Pad which goes from top thick to thin at the bottom of the grips. like the bottoms are quite bulbous on the binboks.

Yeah it's still a fun sandbox when you're bored or high or something. I'll load it up and do like a mage quest or two and bail. or just wander around until I forget why I was doing that anyway.

Though with the same, the new Animal Crossing DLC has consumed like 20 hours of my life the last week

Playing the switch in handheld mode with the default joycons is causing me hand pain, especially in my right thumb. What are some good replacement joycons, particularly for any folks who have had a similar issue.

Hori Split Pad. Satisfye is nice but it still uses the joycons. Get the Pad for max comfort.

I got a 8bitdo Pro2, but I find it less comfortable then my Switch Pro, but it's hard to articulate how/why, it feels subtly smaller or something, or maybe it's just the stick placement or the shoulder design? I don't even have big hands.

I like the Switch Pro controller more too. I've totally Kramered into this thread but for comfortable hands Split Pad Pro is the way to go over Satisfye. I have both and the joycons just aren't comfortable no matter what grip you put on them.
