    Console Suggestion for Local Co-Op / Splitscreen

    I feel getting a Nintendo Switch OLED is your best bet. Since you have no budget restrictions, just get a OLED (possibly second-hand at around 16-18K INR) and get a second joy-con. Each joy-con has two parts which can be used sideways for two players, so two joy-cons will be sufficient for 4...

    News Lies, Bribery, and Manipulation: Nvidia doesn't give a ****

    You can watch the Hardware Unboxed video, linked at the beginning on this thread. Steve talks about it as a part of their backstory.

    News Lies, Bribery, and Manipulation: Nvidia doesn't give a ****

    If that was the case, they wouldn't be setting up misleading previews with well-known media houses such as Digital Foundry (for the RTX3080), GamesRadar and PC Gamer (for the RTX5070), and Tom's Guide (for the RTX5060 8GB); or blocking driver access for independent reviewers to not be able to...

    Your favorite Android Launcher ( Paid or otherwise ) and why ?

    Well, I'm running v7.0.57 on Android 13 flawlessly. So, going by that, it should have no qualms running on the later versions.

    Shocking 5G mobile data consumption on Jio.

    Recharge with an additional 51 INR (True Unlimited Upgrade section in the Jio app) on your number and get that 1.5GB/day 299 INR plan converted to the base 5G Unlimited 349 INR plan. Also, why were you charged 400 INR for the SIM? A new SIM should only cost the plan you are recharging, which is...

    Moto Book 60 + eGPU | A capable portable gaming setup | My thoughts

    I wouldn't even touch Motorola with a ten-foot pole, and at 60K it's basically throwing away your money for nothing. They can't even provide proper service support for their phones and this is a laptop we are talking about. For context, Samsung has been making laptops for more than a decade...

    Your favorite Android Launcher ( Paid or otherwise ) and why ?

    For people who are concerned about Nova Launcher's data collection (like myself), just use the last stable release before the buyout, which is 7.0.57. You can get the APK here (praise sideloading): https://nova-launcher.en.uptodown.com/android/download/106924071 Since the day of the buyout, I...

    All OS Which team are you on - iOS or Android? And, why?

    Oh, man. The N97 brings up so many good memories. I was in middle school when it came out and the occasional trips to Nokia showrooms to check out the N97 and N97 Mini, along with the N86 and E63 were a treat, expecting one day to own any one of them. Well, ended up with a 5233 and that thing...

    All OS Which team are you on - iOS or Android? And, why?

    I come from a Symbian background and having used S60v5 for years, Android was the closest replacement that I could use. The two things that absolutely seals this operating system as my primary driver today and for years to come: 1. Proper file manager. 2. Unique apps like Poweramp, Redreader...

    News Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Highlights (FromSoftware Exclusive, Sakurai Returns for Kirby, A camera!? and much more)

    Oh man, don't get me started on Nintendo exclusives and their prices. While I support the idea of exclusives because they help sell the systems, I don't like what they are doing with the prices. Back in the day, Nintendo would come up with 'Players Choice' or 'Selects' line-up (similar to...

    News Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Highlights (FromSoftware Exclusive, Sakurai Returns for Kirby, A camera!? and much more)

    It's part of Nintendo's modus operandi. I mean, the history speaks for itself: the SNES sold less than the NES, the GameCube sold less than the N64, the WiiU sold less than the Wii, the 3DS sold less than the DS, and the GameBoy Advance sold less than the GameBoy. And in all of these cases, the...

    News Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Highlights (FromSoftware Exclusive, Sakurai Returns for Kirby, A camera!? and much more)

    It seems like nothing is going according to plans for Nintendo (thankfully), and its President (Doug Bowser) just did the unthinkable 'Don Mattrick' switcheroo: saying people to buy or stick to the Switch 1, if you do not have money for the Switch 2. Can't believe we got this tone-deaf quack...

    US is Nintendo's largest market. A price increase in the US means less sales forecasted in America. And to recoup the lost sales, the other markets might also get a price increase. Only time will tell.

    News Nintendo Switch 2 Direct Highlights (FromSoftware Exclusive, Sakurai Returns for Kirby, A camera!? and much more)

    Not any more, my friend. Just in: Also, GTS is mainly well-known particularly for among PlayStation circles, titles, and preorders. Back in the day, they used to have a PC section selling digital keys, which they pulled the cord in 2023. They even shuttered the Switch section end of last...

    Well, sadly, my experience have been exactly opposite. I have been a part of many groups, most notably Nintendo India's official Discord server, and seen many reseller websites dealing in Nintendo stuff (such as Nekavo). What I have found is that - getting good deals on games including used, is...
