I lost my Switch about 6 months ago, and at this point, I have given up hope. So, I decided to look on ebay for Switch tablets. On my search, I ran into this listing: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/133130590500

I understand that it is a bid, but there only seems to be 18 hours remaining. I also don't really care about the issues, as I have a kickstand that was disconnected from my switch. I just want to know if it is safe to go ahead and buy the tablet, as I don't want to get scammed.

That will end up selling for double that price, if not more. Don't get your hopes up.
Just watch the listing, and how much it goes for, then you have a good idea of the price range. Take that knowledge and find a deal. There are plenty to be had, just make sure the seller has a good rating and LOTS of previous positive feedback.

1. You do realize that usually the real bidding only starts 1 or 2 hours before the item runs out, right? This will probably start rising soon.
2.good job in telling a community interested in theses products. That will probably drive up the price even more. If you're the seller: we'll played. If you were genuinely interested in getting it: good job increasing your potential bidding rivals

If the seller has good ratings, it's unlikely to be a scam.

But as people pointed out, price will shoot up in the last couple hours.
Its probably better to keep an eye out for a good buy now price.

Holy shit! I found a great deal on a video game console, that's also an auction! I know what to do, I'll tell a giant video game forum about it, and link them to the auction!

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
