Recommended 3080? JFC.

Most people think it's early release so they haven't optimized it graphically. The i5 v 3080 just doesn't make sense otherwise. They're just such different classes within their respective hardware categories.

I honestly don't give a fuck about graphics, so unless they are offloading a shit ton of physics calcs to the gpu, I can't imagine that sticks. I would be happy with a Minecraft monotone sky and ground. I care about the physics.

also, the install size seems to indicate this is uncompressed graphics as well. There's no fuckin way you should need 60 GB for a goddamn game like this.
 
XBox Game Pass on the Switch?!?

Desperation to try to get the Activision deal past regulators in the US and EU (which it absolutely should not).
 
I don't understand this and the more I think about it the more it pizzes me off. This isn't a AAA FPS. It's a physics simulator. Why the hell did they release it with such high specs, half of Steam doesn't even meet them? I don't want to drop $2,000 on a new PC every five years. That's why I liked games like KSP. 98% of the game was spent in the goddamn construction building.

it's just so irritating. This is the only game I've looked forward to since RDR2. And the funny story about RDR2 is that I bought it the day before my wife and I started dating. I've played that game like three times total.
 
Where have all the second hand Nintendo Game Boy games gone? Twi different 2nd hand store chain near me has a very limited selection of GB/GBC/GBA games. Like a dozen games and that's it.

I bought a back-lit modded GBA a year ago and have slowly been adding old games I never had (thank you ShopGoodwill.com auctions), but can't find any local places that carry the old games. I recall them having cases of games a decade ago and now nothing.

Also, Jesus Christ when did Zelda: Links Awakening and Metroid II become worth so much?

Disc Replay seems to have a constant flow of vintage games through their Orland Park store. Is that one of the places you looked at out your way?

Yep. The Naperville location has the "better" selection, but it's mostly the shovelware games. The Lombard location had littereally six GB games. Huuuuuuuuuuuuge selection for every other system at both locations.

Half Price Books was my other source. Both the Plainfield and Bloomingdale locations had no GB/GBC/GBA games when I checked them. The Bloomingdale location used to have a full cabinet of them.

I bet you’d have better luck on FB marketplace or the Craigslist version. People know the shops will pay a couple bucks for the game and then sell for $30. Why not just sell for $25 directly to the buyer?

I'm just gonna have to remember to check those every so often. I was looking at a few of the Goodwill auctions and wondering if I should just scoop up some bulk lots and piece them out myself, but I'm lazy.

Or you could just, you know, download them and play them on a Pi

Ahead of you on that one. Kinda. I have a whole bunch of ROMs from games I was remotely interested in and wouldn't consider buying a cartridge of and I have Retro Arcade on my laptop and GB/GBC/GBA emulators on my phone, but there's just *something* about playing certain games on the original hardware I grew up with.

Plus, I haven't found a handheld Pi device that I like. Or they try and do too much.
