Funny@sh.itjust.works•Might be breaking an NDA by posting this but I got invited to the "ebay kitchen beta" and everyone needs to see this
2·2 months agoIf they signed an NDA, I would expect ebay to suspend the account if caught. There are different ways that could happen. This assumes this thing is even real.
We’re up like 20something yen/litre compared to February 1st (costco 132 -> 153 and it’s 10-20 yen cheaper than local stations).
If local stations are 165/litre and 3.785412 l = 1 US gallon ~> 625 yen/ US gallon ~> $3.92 USD / USGal in my area of northern Japan using whatever my browser thinks is today’s exchange rate (0.0063 yen per dollar). I suspect Tokyo is and the big cities are more expensive, though not by a ton.
I live in Japan and haven’t heard of this, but I’m generally allergic to most social media. I’ll have to ask my wife when I get home if she’s seen it.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•The Elder Scrolls 6 is "still a long way off", says Todd Howard, but development is his "everyday thing"
221·6 months agoI’m hoping they sell the IP to someone who competent who will realse solid games and not cashgrab, but I think I’ll be dead before that day comes. I have zero plan to buy it when it comes out despite enjoying Skyrim and Oblivion

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•MMO Shutdown [New World] Spurs Review-Bombing As Fans Slam Amazon's Greed
1·7 months agoI had to Google as I thought this was another mmo from when I worked in the industry. I guess this means names are a bit generic (I got out of that industry in 2013). This is not one I’m familiar with. (I used to work on fan sites and tools to plot mob locations and quest items on maps and the like. Not the bad ones that had account/currency selling and such; we banned those people)
Am man. Am not athletic (was never great at anything and a number of places in my body are now metal). Am not bothered at all by the question. My answer would probably be endurance running, though I did enjoy shot and disc.
I’m a xennial so very much grew up without cellphones at all, let alone smartphones. They occasionally pop up in my dreams.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Death Stranding 2's vtuber cameo is only the beginning of more anime girls appearing in your favorite games, Hololive CEO says
61·10 months agoTo me, it’s about the voice and avatar on screen and not the content. They never fully match (I am super sensitive to sync between audio and video) which just puts it into super creepy and inhuman on top of the weird (to me, anyway,) animated avatar (and I don’t just mean Japanese-anime-style either; I’ve seen robots, more photo-realistic, etc.).

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Do you still play any PC games on a physical disc? Or, when did you last do that?
2·10 months agoI literally cannot remember the last time. This PC doesn’t have any optical drives and I’ve had it for like 7 years now. I did use a USB optical drive once to install a driver for something. I can’t even remember the last game I purchased that had a physical disc, honestly. I haven’t bought a game requiring a disc since living in Japan so that’s definitely a decade. Probably around 15 years, if I had to guess, and maybe even longer than that.
“I’m going to put a device in my pocket and have it cause me pain over events that don’t impact me or if they do impact me, will almost never be improved or helped in any way by that alert” sounds like a really dumb way to be to me.
Dude, what a gnarly bunch of dweebs like, you can’t use that language, doy!

Some of them (the Finnish ones I saw) just had the bottom being the rack, basically, so at least that had dripping and airflow. Having an actual board below it would be a terrible idea, I think, heh.
I’ve always wanted the version built into a cabinet, but I live in a high-humdity area and that just screams of mold issues. Why not the version as pictured in the open? Earthquakes. Still, definitely at the point in my life that it’s awesome at least in theory

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090
3·11 months agoI wish AMD had something like CUDA that my video rendering software used so I could stop using nvidia.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090
4·11 months agoI’m on a 2080 or 2090 (I forget which). I thought I’d upgrade to the 40xx now that 5090s are out. I looked at the prices and absolutely not. The 5090s are around 500k JPY, and ordering from the US would work out to about the same with exchange, tax, and any possible tariff that exists this week. Salaries here are also much lower than in the west as well on average even for those of us in software.
4070s are still around 100k which is cheaper than last time I looked at 250k ish.
Price aggregator site in Japan if you want to play around: https://kakaku.com/pc/videocard/itemlist.aspx?pdf_Spec103=500 On the left, you’ll see the cards to select and the prices are obvious on the screen.
That would definitely keep me from buying it; I can’t stand those sorts of games. I did like the first two, though, and still have the CD for the first one kicking around.
