Gaming I have a 40-50 dollar budget, what should I get?

[linuxares]

Can maybe a site like this one help you? https://esho.pw/

Here you can see where the game is cheapest and then switch region on your Swtich to where it's cheapest. Yes, your games can still be downloaded from your eShop account after your turn it Canadian again. This is how I saved a lot of money for Sonic Mania.

Dude, I tried to use tin foil. Between the trying to figure out the tin foil and getting the tin foil out of the Switch after it got stuck, that took hours. I did this on a Switch I knew was patched just to double check. It was very stressful. Don't use tin foil. get a jig.

If you don't want to pirate, why not just wait until you have saved up more so you can buy Octopath Traveler or whatever other big game you want?

Then you didn't follow the instructional video, I did and it worked flawlessly.

i'd say go for used games, growing up poor I realized that getting used games was the best option( also you can Jack Sparrow them if you'd like)

Where are you getting your games? Japan? In the US, we have Gamestop and they rip people off. Used game prices are higher than new games on sale. A used copy of MK8 at Gamestop is 56.99. I bought a brand new copy today from walmart for $44.99.

How about Terraria?

Hey I have a question, the first N game feels really sluggish, like doing almost anything feels like my speed goes to 0. I thought the game was about being really smooth and feeling the flow of it. Does N++ have that? Am I just bad at the game? Or does it feel different than in other platformers.

N+ and N++ are far more refined experiences than the original game. Just figured it'd be worth pointing you to that one since it's the only readily available "demo" lol.

OH gosh no, never buy from Gamestop. Hell I've never bought from them and I know better not to touch them lol. Well you see, there are a lot of accounts on IG that advertise selling video games related items (they do so for free) and a lot of people sell their new bought games for a cheap price/trade for other games after finishing with them. I got Mario odyssey for 10$ three weeks after release, been playing ever since and it's in perfect condition. There are websites and forums that do that sort of stuff like K**ji(I think you know which one, I'm not sure if it's against the rules to mention sites like those)
Side note though, the sites and IG accounts I spoke of are those of middle east. I'm not sure if there are similar ones for Canada but search up just in case.

Except you have to fuck with a buggy fw and time consuming and inconvenient conversions, transfers, installs, blah blah blah.

I can walk to a bus stop and take a cheap ass almost free bus to somewhere close to where I wanna go then walk the rest of the way, but why would I when I can drive up in my lambo like a boss.

sxos ftw.

Sure, walking to china makes the airplane pointless aswel.

1. Download the NSP
2. Install the NSP
3. Play the game

If this is as difficult and as inconvenient as you're claiming, then you're both doing something wrong. Also, what's "buggy"?

What if I don't want NSP but XCI or both?

Not to be a rude mod or anything but it sounds like OP is wanting to buy games rather than downloading them.

With such a high sales tax, I hope your income tax is low, at least. Problem with high sales tax is that it penalizes the rich and the poor, equally. It basically forces the poor to only buy food, that's all they can afford. Income tax is fairer, as the more money you make, the more you pay. Of course, that's if we leave tax evasion out of the equation, which is something the rich enjoy doing.

my paycheck is basically minimum wage so i dont need to do any tax returns i get every month 620 euros after taxes monthly not weekly since there is no week paychecks here.

in our country the tax on everything but food is 23% only food an water are taxed at 13 and 6%.

Shouldn't your minimum wage be a lot higher than that?

 

[pedro702]

nope minimum wage is 580 euros here i get 620 with everything taxed because i win 580 plus 50 euro extra prize every month and food stuff that isn't taxed. on our paycheck we still get deducted 11% for social security but no other taxes because i make to low, everyone with bigger paychecks gets additional taxes obviously.

If using XCI files instead of NSP files is worth paying $30 or so because NSP files are too hard for you to use, then you should pay the money. However, for most people, NSP files are just as easy to use, and they're free.

It should also be noted that free custom firmwares are likely to get XCI support in the future.

The Walking Dead has a really good story which I can take anywhere, it really makes me start appreciating the concept of the Switch.

i would love to have only 23% of taxes. Here in Brazil you get 33% of tax on your salary, then every product is taxed twice, the seller is taxed when selling a product and the buyer is taxed when buying that product. I believe that in the end of the day, if we add all the taxes that we pay, it would be like 60~70% of the total income.

Alright, my budget changed from 40-50 to 20 for some reasons so I decided to get another game. Though I have money left over so if N++ goes on sale and I can get it, then i'll buy it.

I got SpiritSphere DX for those of you wondering...

mmmm I wasn't huge on SpiritSphere. Looked great but the content just felt lacking. If it had some sort of short adventure with an overworld, it'd have been great, but it's just like it has Smash's Classic Mode and that's it.

 

[ScarletDreamz]

Dragon Quest Builders can do the job.

That or

a 128gb MicroSD + a jig, for around $36 + ReiNX [Free].

Yeah I do wish at least the regular match could do 3 CPUS (so doubles but with one human), or have more arenas. There's no just regular arena except the church, but that's supposed to be the scary place in the game, you know?
