There's actually a science to pachinko and slot machines in Japan. stuff like odds, recognizing patterns and whatnot. I know a Japanese who can walk in a casino room, try a few machines and tell me which ones are actually winnable and which ones are impossible to beat (like, they are set to NEVER let you win).

i love it when he takes me gambling, as we almost always go home with more cash than we came in. he doesn't abuse it though so he can go back to casinos and not be marked.

Yeah, in Vegas, they watch people to see if they are counting cards,etc. Would you play this though?

  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    ngl, a Switch 2 feels like a more compelling purchase then a PS5 or Series X
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    By now people usually already own them that wanted one

    PC is beating console over all the ports console is doing switch won't ever pc port their own IPS at least not yet
  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    i know the Steam Deck can emulate some Switch games, definitely not perfect thou and probably is a killer on the battery life
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    SteamDeck will probably see a switch 2 emulator but not for years down the road
  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    maybe a future Steam Deck could emulate it lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Nah current one probably can at lower settings
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Both switch 2 and SteamDeck is on pair with a 2050 gpu

    how do you know?
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I'm like 80% the SteamDeck could run switch 2 games
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    Switch 2, my bitch.
  • UltraHurricane @ UltraHurricane:
    the Steam Deck is pretty powerful, but it's still based on 2020 era x86 laptop hardware only gets about 1.9 teraflops, the Switch 2 is estimated to be 3.9 teraflops, which pretty much makes it a portable Series S if you think about it
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    @K3Nv3,
    Switch 1 could run Sw2 games lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yes but at lower optimized settings a SteamDeck could probably run switch 2
  • Skv0ra @ Skv0ra:
    @UltraHurricane,
    without 4k lmao
