Hablo de la PS Store en mi país (España).

Quiero comprar Ratchet & Clank para PS5; lo veo en sitios de segunda mano por 15-30 €, y una copia física nueva cuesta unos 45 €. ¿Pero en la tienda digital? ¡¡¡80 €!!! ¡Por un juego de hace 4 o 5 años!

También quiero comprar Scarlet Nexus; cuesta unos 15 € de segunda mano y 20 € nuevo. ¿En la tienda digital? ¡¡¡70 €!!!

En el momento en que nos veamos obligados a jugar solo a juegos digitales —al menos en PlayStation— ser gamer va a ser un infierno.

A lot of people tell me to wait for a sale, but what they don't get is that it makes no sense to wait for a discount on a game that's overpriced to begin with. Digital distribution is supposed to save a fortune on logistics, so why do they set such high base prices? That’s what I’m complaining about.

Right now, I'm focusing on my studies to land the job I want.

The keyboard on my five-year-old laptop has started acting up; fixing it would cost 80 euros, and given its specs (AMD A9, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD), I don't think it's worth the repair.

So, I wanted to buy a new laptop, but—my goodness—the prices are sky-high... I can't afford to spend nearly a thousand euros on a decent laptop.

That’s why I’ve been looking at second-hand options. I’d like your opinion on this one—keep in mind I *only* need it for studying:

HP ProBook 450 G7, 16GB RAM, Intel Core i5-10210U, 256GB SSD.

The seller says these laptops come from companies that used them for work and refresh their stock every few years (he says this one is likely from 2022–23) and that the battery health is at least 80%.

It’s 250 euros. He also says he can sell me an HP ProBook G8 for 280 euros, or one with over 90% battery health for 300 euros.

I don't know anything about laptops, so I need some help. Thanks.

I want to mod my Wii U—just for gaming.

The only hacked console I own is a PS Vita, and I use pkg to download games on it.

I was wondering if you could recommend the best shops for the Wii U; I only know about Nusspli, and I'm under the impression that it only includes games that were available on the eShop at the time.

Are there any "freeshops" for Wii or DS games on the Wii U? The last thing I want to do is download ROMs to my PC and transfer them via USB—I find that pretty annoying—so I wanted to know if there are any shops or programs that let me download them directly. Thanks.

Hoy me he acabado una serie, que no es anime pero sirve para explicar el punto, y su final no me gustó mucho dejándome mal sabor de boca.

Lo mismo me pasó con The Boys.

Con animes, Jujutsu kaisen, Boku no hero Shingeki no kyojin, Tokyo Ghoul o Black clover si bien no son malos tampoco son buenos.

Chainsawman es malo lo mires por donde mires. Naruto también.

Sobre mangas, por ejemplo Reborn no me gusta su final.

Mi pregunta es, de verdad es tan complicado hacer un buen cierre para una serie? Porque quiero saber sus opiniones, pero para mi el final es casi igual de importante que la trama media, porque al final el último acto es lo último que te llevas de la serie que tanto te gusta.

También creo que un final bueno puede mejorar mucho un trayecto malo. Por ejemplo, diría un manga pero no quiero hacer spoilers, así que mejor me abstengo, pero hay casos. Por ejemplo, Dragón Ball GT la gente lo tacha de mala, pero el final es muy bonito y deja buen sabor de boca.

Ejemplo de animes buenos con finales buenos tenemos a Psycho Pass temporada 1 tiene un final hermoso, igualmente con Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Quiero saber cuáles son sus finales favoritos de mangas o animes que consideren buenos de verdad.

My Thoughts on The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act

This is my opinion; I'm not saying it's the right one. If you don't like it, there's no need to insult me. If you want to debate, I'd love to. I hope that clarifies that.

Overall Rating

My overall feeling is a strange one: I can't say that I loved it, but I can't say that I hated it either. It left me feeling pretty cold and with mixed emotions.

I'd give it around a **6.7/10**.

I think its main problems are the pacing, some narrative decisions, and the way certain characters were handled, especially Jax.

The Pacing and Structure of the Movie

One of my biggest issues with the movie was its pacing.

Everything happens extremely fast. Many times I felt like I had barely processed one scene before something completely different was already happening.

For example:

* The characters are depressed and desperate.

* Pomni has a conversation with Kinger.

* Suddenly everyone is feeling better.

* Cut.

* Jax abstracts.

Everything moves so quickly that I found myself confused on several occasions.

There were even important plot details that I didn't fully understand during the viewing. Whether that was because it was subtitled or simply because I missed something, I can't say for sure, but some major explanations didn't become clear to me until much later.

I also feel that the movie lacks a strong central conflict.

Rather than feeling like a story with a beginning, middle, and end, it felt more like a long epilogue to the events of the previous episode.

The only real problem in the story is Jax's abstraction, and even that is never completely resolved.

Because of that, the movie felt somewhat anticlimactic to me.

Jax: My Biggest Disappointment

This is probably my biggest issue with the movie.

For years, we had been led to believe that Jax was hiding something truly dark.

The trailers presented him in a very unsettling way.

The creator had said that we still hadn't seen the worst thing he had ever done.

Everything seemed to be pointing toward him becoming the main antagonist of the finale.

And my surprise was that he wasn't.

Jax is important to the plot, but he never truly becomes the villain.

I expected to discover a complex backstory that would explain why he treats everyone so badly.

Instead, the explanation we received didn't really convince me.

My interpretation is that the movie presents him as someone full of insecurities, afraid of being vulnerable, and struggling with identity issues.

But for me, that doesn't justify many of the things he did.

One thing that especially stood out to me is that Ribbit, the person he opened up to emotionally, didn't do anything wrong. She treated him kindly. Even so, he chose to push her away and eventually treat her badly, damaging their relationship.

Because of that, I found it difficult to sympathize with him.

In the end, I expected a highly complex character and instead felt like I was watching someone who simply makes bad decisions and hurts the people around him.

---

About the Identity Theme

I want to make it clear that this is only my personal opinion.

The movie seems to connect part of Jax's conflict to themes of identity and gender.

Personally, I believe people should be able to do whatever they want without certain interests or behaviors being considered exclusively "for men" or "for women."

Because of that, part of the character's emotional explanation didn't resonate with me as much as the story probably intended.

That doesn't mean I think it's objectively bad writing. It simply didn't connect with me personally.

---

Jax's Redemption

Another thing that left me unsatisfied is that I don't feel Jax truly redeems himself.

Pomni manages to reach him.

There is a genuinely emotional scene.

He acknowledges his mistakes and feelings.

But in the end, there is never a real attempt to repair the damage he caused.

Because of that, I was left with the feeling that the character ends almost exactly where he started.

And for someone who had been built up as such an important figure for so long, I expected much more.

Additionally, when the creator said that we still hadn't seen the worst thing Jax had ever done, I expected something far more impactful.

The movie reveals that he pushed his mother and spent years believing he might have killed her, but later it becomes clear that nothing that serious actually happened.

Because of that, I didn't feel that revelation lived up to the expectations that had been built around the character.

---

Caine

The other big surprise was Caine.

When he appeared at the end, I thought he was going to become the true final conflict.

Instead, something completely different happens.

We discover that he has spent all this time going through a kind of self-reflection.

He acknowledges his mistakes.

He apologizes.

He restores the characters' real names.

And he helps bring the story to a close.

I didn't dislike the idea, but it also felt somewhat anticlimactic.

After seeing him completely lose control in the previous episode, I found it difficult to accept how quickly everything was resolved.

---

Things I Did Like

Not everything was criticism.

There were several things I genuinely enjoyed.

The main one was the ending message.

I liked that the characters eventually accepted their situation.

Instead of continuing to fight an impossible battle, they choose to build a life inside the circus and turn it into a real home.

I thought that was a beautiful conclusion.

I also really liked the moment when the group saves Pomni.

It was probably one of the most emotional scenes in the entire movie.

---

What I Would Have Liked to See

Personally, I would have preferred:

* Slower pacing.

* A clearer central conflict.

* A more antagonistic role for Jax.

* Stronger motivations behind his actions.

* A more developed redemption arc.

* More focus on the abstracted characters.

And above all, I would have loved to see Kinger and Caine working together to help or restore the abstracted characters.

It didn't need to be a major scene. Even a few final images showing them working together would have been a beautiful ending.

Conclusion

I don't think it's a bad movie.

I also don't think it's a disaster.

I simply believe that the middle portion of the series was stronger than its conclusion.

It reminded me that creating a great story is difficult, but creating a great ending is even harder.

Even so, it has been a wonderful journey.

I've followed this series from the very beginning, watching every episode as soon as it came out, sometimes even staying awake late at night just to see it.

So even if the ending didn't fully work for me, I'm grateful to have experienced the entire adventure.

This is only my personal opinion, and I completely understand that other people may see it very differently.

Before, when I closed the screen and reopened it, I entered my password and all my programs were right where I left them. But now, when I close it, it's like it completely shuts down. I haven't touched anything or downloaded any programs. This is really annoying because I use my laptop for my studies and I travel between the library and home, so I obviously have to close it. Opening all my files four times a day is exhausting. Does anyone know what's wrong?

I really want to play an arcade-style soccer game.

I was originally going to play the new Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road game, but... 80 euros seems like too much for what it is. I tried the Captain Tsubasa demo and found it quite fun (it reminded me of Inazuma Eleven Strikers), but I've seen some pretty negative reviews and a bad Metacritic score. Although I've also read some good reviews.

I found it at a really good price.

I should mention that I watched the first season of the Captain Tsubasa remake and I liked it quite a bit (even though it's not a series from my childhood). I didn't watch the second season because of the bad animation.

Llevo semanas que me cuesta dormir horrores. Me llegan a las 2/3 am y sigo sin sueño. Antes siempre me dormía a las 23:30. Pero ahora no hay forma. Y me despierto a las 6 am.

Se supone que es por ansiedad, pero incluso tomando pastillas no me duermo (me he tomado una hace una hora y sigo despierto). Tomo infusiones 3 veces al día, hago ejercicios de respiración, cuento ovejitas y nada...

Siento que me voy a volver loco de verdad. Así que los consejos de "cierra los ojos" podéis iros a tomar por c*lo.

I just finished Echoes of Wisdom for the second time, and I realized that while the 3D Zelda games (BotW, Totk, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword...) are epic, challenging, and emotional, the 2D Zelda games (which also have those qualities) are extremely fun.

Honestly, I have so much love for these games (A Link to the Past, A Link Between Worlds, Phantom Hourglass, Oracle games, The Minish Cap, Link's Awakening...) that it's overwhelming.

I just want Nintendo to release more 2D Zelda games and not just focus on the 3D ones or spin-offs like Hyrule warriors games (which I really don't like, to be honest).

P.S.: I'm not saying the 3D games aren't fun, I'm just saying that for me, the simplicity of the 2D games is more enjoyable.

Are there any modern games like Zelda: A Link to the Past, The Minish Cap, or A Link Between Worlds? I really want to play one, but I've already finished those games many times.

I'm looking for a 2D adventure game with a top-down perspective. I've seen Tunic around, but it's hard to find physically and expensive. Any recommendations? I'd prefer Nintendo Switch version
