Btw, since I was at the supermarket just now. The Gamepass deal Hektor posted about is really lame. You have to buy these terrible chocolate flavor cornflakes, and all you get is a mere 7 days of Gamepass. That's not worth my money. Also, you pay like a 3$ for a month of Gamepass anyway, close to the price of those cornflakes, so unless you have very questionable taste in cereals, that's not a smart deal

By the way, would you like to have console stuff posted here or should we create another thread since the last one disappeared.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood RTX patch is out.

And crap, due to Steam's changes regarding OSTs they're now appearing in my discovery queue, not a fan of that.

Maybe they'll add a way for the OST's to be filtered out from these queues (like there is for software, videos, ...).

So I've had a discussion on discord recently and retroarch came up;

byuu
(Some disturbing language in there, be warned)

Some of the people at the top (of the retroarch team) are anti-LGBT. While this is from 2 years ago, their stance hasn't changed since.
If anyone can provide any more info that adds or debunks this, would be appreciated.

Scrolling through that thread, and I see the N-word and some uh... "creative" language. Yikes.

I decided to try the netcode mod in SFV, I set it only against pc players and it was great. I played against Russian and Polish people which usually give me very laggy matches and everything was smooth. This is quite impressive, 4 years and a half later it seems like the only thing we needed was a person with netcode knowledge with a free half an hour :blobcheer: 😜

I just looked it up, since I forgot the sidequest in question. There's a couple of choices here. I'll just say to look a bit at your tools, specifically the crossbow thingies that shoots those plastic toys

I'll try it out later and make sure to use my network enhancing device since I gotta use wi fi at home.

I went back to They Are Billions Apoc mode.

I'm in that part where I have an excess of riches. I wish there was something I could put my Steam account into that would spit out how long each game would be to beat, and I could prioritize that way.

I know How Long to Beat exists, but /lazy

6 hours into FFVI I came into a bug that makes the airship (Blackjack disappear) that is required to access the other half of the game. Fml.

Starting up again and if the bug pops up I will quit FFVI forever.

I just got my new monitor, and it's quite amazing how much even browsing is at 144 Hz. Also GSync really is kind of magic. Going from 80 FPS to 100FPS and back (depending on scene complexity, and not erratically), and I had a hard time telling anything was going on (you do notice things being a bit less fluid when it goes down, but I really need to concentrate to notice). The only downside is that it's an IPS screen, and the black levels aren't as great as on a VA screen. But I expected that, and it's not so bad with some bias lighting or just not playing in a completely dark room.

Nah, they'll complain it's too much of a bother, and it's not worth the time to release anything on Steam any more. :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:


Yeah, it's a reference to a sequence of idiotic comments on twitter, that started with this post:
Damn, that whole thread is awful. Also the person in charge of that Twitter trying to make you feel bad with that "oh, you wanted us to crunch so we could get Steam keys out on time", that's an awful take that pretty much trivializes crunch. What the hell were they thinking.

I have one of the few VA GSync screens, and let me tell you, while black levels are great (which is amazing for 4:3 content or dark games), the motion clarity even at 144 Hz just about matches IPS panels at 60 Hz.

And I'll repeat again: they had... 21 backers who pledged for Steam keys!
That talk about "wanting them to crunch" to deliver... 21 steam keys is a load of crap. And, if me and other backers didn't pester them about the keys, you can be sure we would have waited far more than 6 days for the keys.
They launched the game on Steam, without even letting backers know when it was launching, or at least post something on the day it launched (or the day after). They did nothing, posted nothing. I managed to get a reply on twitter, they didn't even bother replying to direct messages on Kickstarter, or the comments section of their campaign.

Needless to say, after those tweets, they never got a single cent from me again. And, before that, I owned 90-95% of their releases on Steam.

Would you believe that a few days ago, I received an update from that Kickstarter campaign, telling backers that they are launching another campaign, and wanting me/us to back it? :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Yeah, right.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is so good. Outside of 3H it's my favorite Nintendo game released in the past several years
bought a Wii U just for Chronicles X And it was my only WiiU game I bought and played on it.
A bad decision financially? yes...

But...


basically one of the reasons I bought the game. OST can make or break a game for me. I couldn't care less for the other Xenoblade games

It's such a shitty thing to do (going with the "oh, you want us to crunch" excuse). If the person manning their Twitter didn't post that, people could maybe believe their story and think they were being honest (since outsiders to the campaign wouldn't know that the amount of people who pledged for Steam keys was so low, plus all the associated context). But once they posted that shit, it was obvious for me they were being disingenuous at best and assholes, more likely.

TLOU being voted the Metacritic’s best game of the last decade indicates that Metacritic sucks
Metacritic Users reviewbomb beloved Console game: "Metacritic users are trash, the reviews are worthless" ((except when the user reviews are positive))
Metacritic users vote beloved Console Game as game of the decade: "WOOHOO! YEAH! They know what the good shit is!"

Still contemplating wherever or not to go through Persona 5 after Im done with FFVI on PC.

Either it is because that maybe Im just gonna get the Royal version or a hope that P5 will release on PC.
Same thing with Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD. Still have hope for a PC version.
