Are both good chairs?

Aeron is largely considered THE best office chair from all I've seen on it. Way out of my price range, even if I could technically swing it, I use standing desk / treadmill / sofa too interchangeably with sitting for it to be worth investing in.

I really like my $200 IKEA chair though, after I got better wheels on it (it was only like $140 when I bought it a couple years ago, yikes): MARKUS Office chair, Vissle dark gray - IKEA

I tried Dead Cells on Switch with that trial it has and it's almost unplayable for me due to how the jump and doge button has switched places (no pun intended) compared to the PC version which Im playing with an Xbox controller. Also Im not liking how small everything is compared to playing on PC with a bigger screen at 1080p.

I remember when the Switch launched how I used to buy some indie games like Isaac and Stardew on there because I expected to travel around with my Switch. However in reality I only play my Switch at home and when I have to travel somewhere I take my laptop with me regardless where I already have all my indie games in my Steam llibrary and my laptop can tackle them all so I stopped buying indie games on Switch unless they are exclusive.

Looking at the eShop today it's without a doubt a shitshow and observing how few success stories from indie devs on Switch there are now compares to at launch is understandable (like Scourgebringer). From what I understand, the Switch eshop charts are by units sold, not revenue like Steam meaning there's a reason theres so many 90% off games there, it is truly a race to the bottom there.

I feel bad for people who don't know about DekuDeals because the eShop is a laggy, slow mess.

I cant' fathom the devs don't let you crouch or dodge in the game.

No framerate over 60 and no FOV slider, eh? Seems like quite a downgrade from the previous ports.
Click to expand...
well previous releases were remakes (Kiwami 1 and 2) or ports of modern game(0)

these seems to be simple upressed ports of old games
The PS4 release of this collection offers Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 with a 1080p presentation that stays fairly close to a steady 60 frames per second.

Arbitrary resolution support is included and each of the games can be cranked up to 8K (assuming your hardware and display can accommodate this setup). Obviously, the games’ assets were never built to be seen at such high resolutions, but the option is welcome all the same. The resolution bump provides a material upgrade in image quality over the console presentation, though it makes some of the lower-quality effects stand out like a sore thumb (character hair seems to have weird halos/blur and street light glare flickers wildly).

tbh i expectedmuch worse than this givrn the age of these games

Thanks for bringing this one up. The game was already a complete nope due to their laughable, 2010-like 30 fps is cinematic statements, but this just brings it into heinous territory for me. It's rather infuriating to me to portray abusers this way, whitewashing their decisions to inflict hurt by painting it as a "it's just another perspective, evil is relative" cheap bullshit. As if people don't have a moral compass. Or, y'know, cries and tears don't somehow register for some.

Edit : in more positive news, Distant Worlds 2 is looking amazing! I can't wait to try and get lost in its complexities.

Are all 3 Yakuza games ported by QLOC? That would mean that Lab42 is (well, probably) still working on those 2 or 3 unannounced games.

Shadow drop in around 12 hours or so, they did the same in the past, do not worry, it's shitty but always happen when it's not a brand new game.

For what it's worth, old Yakuza ports (not sure about 7) and Catherine were all released at 4pm CEST (that's in 3h30m).

NVidia what are you doing....

Buyer beware: Nvidia has at least 28 variants prepared for the mobile RTX 3000 GPU stack

The ridiculous number would not really be a problem for end users if OEMs actually respected Nvidia's guidelines and provided clear info with the official specs. Unfortunately, very few OEMs are currently doing this, and we are seeing wild spec variations that allow lower-priced SKUs to...

The ASUS Strix 2021 seems a great fit for me, but those CPU concerns have me weary, and I'm really interested to switching to a Ryzen CPU :blobweary:

I know about that.
I refered to the price conversion for us Indians as been fair this time

SEGA put a lot of hiked prices last 2 years. So I'm happy for more sane prices this time.

20 per game is laughable, 30 for all three is more defensible in my opinion.

Also, I'm really all over Distant Worlds 2, I couldn't get into DWU due to the presentation but this one is really, really looking good and closer to what I'd want out of a galaxy-scale 4X than Stellaris was.

Awful regional pricing here. Holy fuck SEGA $20USD is not fucking $30CAD.

The Yakuza games are the ONLY ones they price this bad and theres no reason for it. Catherine, Bayonetta, Puyo Puyo, and Vanquish are $25cad (and Persona 4 $24cad) but the Yakuza games are $30 each like wtf.
