I think I might just get a steamdeck. Which afaik allows you to emulate nintendo games as well…
Its not like Nintendo is gonna release a new and (good) F-Zero
Yeah emulation on the deck is extremely easy through EmuDeck if you go that route (and you should it’s a great device)
I think you’d need to do a bit more work if you want switch emulation, as I think emudeck removed those installers.
a new and (good) F-Zero
F Zero 99 was really good, can’t believe it didn’t convert into another main game.
Honestly with the way Nintendo currently designs games, I wouldn’t want them to make another mainline F-Zero game. Mainly because the two best F-Zero games (X and GX) run counter to their current trend of “you will have fun the way we say you will” game design.
Though it is pretty funny that the best F-Zero game wasn’t even made by Nintendo, it was made by Sega.
It us but it’s also the snes f zero. 3D dammit!
is really good, it’s still live and getting plenty of updates
i have one of the older models of steamdeck and it emulates most switch games pretty well. the more recent ones can run a bit crap and certain games that run bad on the switch already (like animal crossing new horizons) also run bad on the steamdeck
so if u get a newer one it’d probably be as good as an actual switch lol. i highly recommend it. mine is only starting to show mild wear and tear now and ive been using it for 1-5 hours everyday for the last 3 years
The hardware of the new steamdeck revision is almost identical, I think it’s just a die shrink and oled screens generate a bit less heat. So generally the improvements would be in battery life, with some very situational performance improvements (basically anywhere clocks drop due to thermal throttling).
yea it’s a pretty marginal upgrade in terms of real performance. excited for future models though
I have some performance issues with certain Switch games on my Steam Deck OLED for sure. Sometimes switching between Ryujinx vs Yuzu helps but not always
Not to encourage you to buy a switch, but FZ99 is really fucking good
does anyone remember back in like 2011 when people on 4chan were making fake coupons to get free playstations and shit? i got so many free hotpockets. was always too scared to try with the bigger ticket items but the coupons i tried all worked.
I can’t imagine it working on a big ticket item. When someone walks out with a TV and the employees walk up and meekly say “plz no steal” it’s not always bootlicking like a lot of people on here oft assume but also a way of employees simply covering themselves in case the boss notices and decides to go looking for someone to blame. No-one is worried about losing their job over a hotpocket but giving someone a playstation in an obvious scam is not easy to explain away.
Remember stealing comes with no consequences as long as you don’t get caught.
big if true
I’ve yet to figure out how to Jimmy those sliding glass case locks without being super obvious but when i do I’m getting a fucking switch
if you know how to get the switch out of the store, you can get an employee to unlock it for you and get the switch out, have a friend nearby who when youre walking up to the electronics section register with the employee comes around and says “there you are! mom and dad are up front checking out already, we need to go”. ask the employee if you can run it up front and pay for it there. if they say its not allowed then you’re no worse off for it but if they hand you the switch and you know how to get it out of the store you’re good
The imaginary visual of a greying man with a beard saying “my mom and dad are checking out i need to go” as an excuse almost makes this worth it
Oh I have a similar method for trading cards I’d have to do this at a spot in willing to burn
bricks, while unsubtle, are effective
Yeah, that’s one for when you never plan to be in the city again and have nothing to lose
A plan for every occasion!
Also these days i figure a brick wouldn’t get through the 2in plexiglass boxes they use now
Are you speaking from experience? Because from my own experience a lot of glass is brick-proof. Wouldn’t be the glass in the windows of your house but glass where anything behind is particularly valuable or high-risk yes.
If you hit hard enough, nothing is brick proof
That’s easy to say. Believe it or not, most humans have limited strength, and if someone can’t break glass it’s not because they’re not trying hard enough.
If you really want to break glass that’s designed to be tough to break you need strategy not brute strength. Try tapping the top two corners of the glass and then the middle of the bottom of the glass, in an upside down triangle. You may be able to collapse the glass that way. Obviously you need a hammer/similar and a strong enough swing, and that is likely not enough for glass that’s designed to withstand attempts at smashing. But the corners will be the weak points if you want to try.
I am flippantly joking.
