I still think that there will not be enough hardware in the Switch 2 to have any meaningful use of DLSS.

We getting 180 upscaled to 720.

I heard we getting 320x240 upscaled to 4K. It’s so good in fact that it even makes up for the 1.33:1 aspect ratio and renders in widescreen thanks to AI creating the rest of the image on the fly!

No batteries needed, system uses body heat through controller to power the system!

I can tell you’re biased against Nintendo because you’re underselling the true power of the system in a really unrealistic way. Got’em!

I always buy Nintendo systems in the end, don’t play them as much as I used to but there are a few Nintendo franchises I need to have in my life. Super hype for Metroid Prime this year!

It seems the refund system at Xbox has changed.

I got a message they don’t allow refunds for digital purchases that have been played or used.

Yet for another game I did get a refund and I DID briefly play that. Very odd. I barely ever ask for refunds but a while ago I tried it for a game I had played for about 15 minutes and the refund went fine.

I could swear it was their policy too, that you can at least play for a hour or two.

Was the purchase pass 14 days after it was purchased?

The purchases were from yesterday. It’s quite weird.

It’s the two Slap em All games of Asterix and Obelix and the third was a side story game of River City, I played that for barely five minutes (but it was used nonetheless) and that got refunded, the two Obelix games didn’t and we didn’t even play 5 minutes of Slap em All 2. And I think we played 30 minutes of the first one.

These are situations I wish they still had decent chat support. I remember the Xbox One era and how damned good the USA chat support was. I just checked and now you can’t even send them a message if it’s about a refund. This shit really got a lot worse, unfortunately.

And apparently there’s also in the policy you can do this two or three times a year. So it’s weird it’s not working for me.

Do you guys think valve will put steamdeck on sale this week because of them being at CES? Very tempted to pull the trigger on one today but not sure if I should wait a few days

Waiting a few days can’t hurt but I would be surprised about a CES sale if they werent on sale over the holidays.

I think it’d be best to wait and see what’s announced at CES. There might be better devices out there running SteamOS.

Is there a good mobile app for tracking upcoming games/platforms/completion?

You may have heard of Couple of Fools, the Playstation gamer who was gifted a Series X, and found he enjoyed playing on it. Well, after being attacked by grifters on X, a certain Phil Spencer chimed in.

Yep, I know the guy. It was beyond embarrassing how the stables reacted to it, I’m just calling them what they are now. It really shows how some folks just don’t have a life. But good for him!

Possibly the Switch 2 joycons.

Dayone on this site ! It’s up there on this very page.

I also heard about Backloggd which looks more like what you’re looking for but I don’t think there’s an app yet.

Possibly, it was the 9th last year that they announced it.
