In releasing what seems to be little more than an improved version of its popular Switch console, is Nintendo repeating a mistake from its recent past? in c/[email protected]

[–] Vinny_93 1 points 9 hours ago

This is pretty much the Nintendo equivalent of the tick-tock thing Intel used to do.

They'll get away with it because they'll release a new Mario Kart, Mario Party, Zelda, Metroid, <insert the rest of Nintendo's IP here>.

Something that may save it is if they make it a full fledged media center with Dolby Atmos and HDR10+/Dolby Vision support and have it run streaming apps natively.

Buuut I suppose Nvidia will use this chip to release a Shield 2 or something.

For me it was because I loved Boost for Reddit and when spez did that thing back then the dev pivoted his app and it retained all functionality so it was pretty much seamless for me. I bought the app (twice) for the ad-free experience and I launch the rocket (for a small fee) every now and then.

I use Boost and I like it. But I've also heard good things about Voyager

How is your week going? in c/[email protected]

[–] Vinny_93 4 points 11 hours ago

Not bad actually. I'm trying to get back to work and I've already had two good half days this week. Today my wife has to go to the hospital and we got a new couch yesterday. Tomorrow I am going to a Blanco White concert with my mother.

How about you?

Not to mention that the games actually worth playing will never receive any meaningful discounts so forget seeing Mario for half price

What? Ukraine is a pretty large country, living in it doesn't mean you're some nuclear monster now

Edit whoops I missed the actual joke

Feel like I'm slipping (just a vent) (self.mentalhealth)

Hey welcome to my ramble of the day.

Lately I've been very aware of how every day I accomplish a little less and have more trouble getting through an evening without drinking.

Christmas is coming up and I'm spending it in Switzerland with my brother-in-law. All good, you'd say. Except both me and my wife are running on fumes. We are both super tired. We've discussed skipping it but we cannot do this to my mother-in-law. She doesn't often get both her kids together and she's had a rough year.

In any event, looking at my progress over the past few weeks I feel like I'm doing a little worse every day and just that realization is making me kind of depressed.

So before I get all kinds of recommendations, here's my current game plan:

I've registered with a psychologist (not in the USA so insurance is not an issue)
My employer knows of evening and they are very supportive. I haven't been working since beginning of September)
I intend to take it very easy in Switzerland and try to relax around the other days of Christmas as well. Beginning of January will be super chill for me.

Thanks for bearing with me. I really hope to improve in the next year.

Having bad moments vs having good moments (self.mentalhealth)

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to read. I've been feeling bad for some time now and figured now is a good a time as any to share.

I am having a pretty serious issue with activating myself lately. I've been sidelined from work since the beginning of September. In this time I've been speaking to several healthcare professionals and colleagues. I'm currently in the process of finding a therapist.

I've recently drawn the conclusion that I do not sometimes have bad days, I'm pretty much down every day but I have moments that I'm fine. The fine moments are getting more scarce though...

Today I am writing to you because my mind does not know what it wants. I can't decide if I wanna call my friends and have a beer or if I want to curl up on my bed and cry.

Anyway, that was what I wanted to share. Thanks for reading.

Hey all, I've narrowed it down to 3 options: AKG K371 (at €149) AKG K361 (at €104) AKG K182 (at €69)

Use case is just at my desk. I have CX Wireless for on the road and wireless listening.

I like a full low end and defined, crisp highs. I mostly listen to soft easy listening like Mazzy Star or rougher rock bands like Evanescence, Bad Omens etc. I also listen to melodic electronic music.

I've read a lot of reviews and I can't really decide on the soundstage. For this I've chosen AKG because I have the K512 mk2's now and I've been very pleased with them.

As for comfort, I need them not to clamp after an hour or two. I don't mind having to pause every now and then.

Any other recommendations welcome.

But bottom line, I think 69 for the K182 is a great deal even though the K3x1s might be better cans.

Green or red? Mid-range gpu decisions (self.buildapc)

Looking to upgrade my trusty 1070Ti. I use my pc for RPGs (Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy) , VR fps (Alyx, Arizona Sunshine) and VR simracing (F1 23).

Deciding between ASUS Dual 4070 (@ €600) or ASUS TUF 7800XT.

Benchmarks don't really tell the whole story because they rarely include DLSS3, but the games I play don't really support that anyway. TUF is a better cooler, but bulkier.

I can also just not buy anything and wait for the 4070 Super to come along.

Thoughts?
