  • It’s all relative. If i sit a few meters away from a 50 inch screen, then it’s roughly the same size as a phone screen held 30cm from my face. It’s just a matter of perspective.

    The level of detail i can see is the same. My fancy earbuds make the sound quality essentially the same if not better.

    The only real difference is i have to hold the phone to watch it.

    Well, most people… not me, I have a folding phone with a stand, so for me, i can comfortably put the phone on a table on the stand that’s built into the case and watch from there. Works just fine.


  • Absolutely fair. An 8 year old game should not cost $90 all in.

    I dont dispute that. I just think the article is misleading as there is a lot of talk about $90 switch 2 games, which turned out not to be true, and it creates anger that is misplaced. Even if the reality isn’t far from that lie.

    I do, however, think it’s an interesting thought experiment to come at it from another angle.

    Imagine the article was “8 year old AAA game and DLC at a huge discount” and the article said things like:

    • breath of the wild was ahead of its time on release
    • the graphics still look great thanks to the cell shading and art style
    • unique gameplay elements and a modern feeling combat system
    • vast open world with expansive storyline
    • on par with modern games
    • currently only $50 on this deal, a bargain considering everything you get for that price

    From this point of view i think you would agree that anyone would argue its worth more than $50 and that its a great deal despite being 8 years old.

    Nintendo games should definitely come down in price over time, but the point is its just so easy to spin something however you want if you use the right words.


  • Title is a bit misleading

    There are a few scenarios here.

    1. You own the game on switch and already have the dlc so pay nothing unless you want to pay $10 or have the switch online subscription for the switch 2 edition if you want the enhancements. For a total of $0-10 depending on your choice

    2. You own the game but dont have the dlc so pay $20 for that and then $10 for the switch 2 version unless you have the subscription for a total of $20-30 depending on your choice.

    3. You dont own the game so you buy the switch 2 version for $70 and the dlc for $20 for a total of $90.

    This is not the same as the $90 game lie thats being told, but it is painted that way. To get clicks.

    Paying $70 for a game and then paying more for an expansion is nothing even close to new. For example, Destiny 2 is free but if you want the DLC its gonna cost you between $150 and $270 depending on when you buy it as there are sometimes deals on.


  • You could try starting with some cable management and then maybe move on to more cable management.

    Seriously, at the very least why arent these cables behind your shelving instead of draping over the front edge? Thats crazy. Then you have a pc in the middle with cables going both ways. Is that a LAN cable coming from the right? Drill a hole and run that through the wall and either run it along your skirting board or get some trunking.

    You can even remove the skirting, cut away a small section from the bottom back corner of the skirt to create a channel for the cable.

    If i was you i would reorganize all of the devices, run all the cables in the same direction and as shown in another comment run them down the leg of the shelf and then across to the tv. And move the PC to the shelf. (Maybe the side of the shelf)


  • If a woman i wanted to date didn’t find me funny when i do goofy shit, then she would quickly become a woman i dont want to date.

    I can be immature without that being my whole personality. I am mature when it’s appropriate and immature when it’s appropriate.

    Just be yourself. You dont want to lock it all away to be in a relationship with someone who can’t laugh at a well-timed fart.
