I play at 1440p on a 4k display and it looks fine enough. The whole setup is a bit clunky but I dont have space for both a desktop setup and game consoles around it so this will have to do for now.

I finished Bugsnax on my PS5.
7/10 is the best that I can give the game. It took me 2-3 days to beat the game. I doubt that I will ever touch it again. It did have some nice moments here and there.
One thing that I did find confusing because I'm not use to it is pronouns. There is a character that uses they. For a long time I kept thinking that a group of people was being refered to. The characters are not human so it seemed like they were talking about another group. You don't see the character too often, I just thought that there was a splitter group along side the main cast or something.
The controls for the game were irritated at times. Also if the game chugges when you increase the FOV then why make it an option? (I don't think that's actually what was causing the problem.
Now to decide what game to finish next.

Is this the remake of the first one ? If so, I will gladly try this much lauded series.
Should I bite on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro ?
It was one of the best sellers in France some months ago, but as usual if you skim Amazon reviews it's the second coming or the worst product ever.
No no, I'm on topic ! I totally plan to stream to it

Yep, you want to start with Prelude to the Fallen.
Prelude to the Fallen -> Mask of Deception -> Mask of Truth
... while certainly stupid, Nintendo's not actually stupid/edgy/fortheplayers enough to name a console "Pro".
Ha. I completely forgot about that dumb ass name. But wouldn't it be doubly stupid to have a Pro controller that isn't for the "Pro" system whilst also inevitably having accessories that will be only for the "Pro" system, all under the same naming convention? Then you have Sony's Pro console. It seems like a very un-Nintendo name, despite the controller existing.
They named one of their consoles for "New" so I don't expect their naming conventions to make much sense.
It's a silly name but I've always thought it cleverly functional Perhaps a vestige of the Wii U's poor branding. You intuitively get the point of how it relates to the other models. Or at least that's my impression. In my mind, Pro is too cold and raises more questions than it answers.They named one of their consoles for "New" so I don't expect their naming conventions to make much sense.
I have exclusive footage of the second time starting the PCNew Build.
Whaddaya Think?
RTX 3090
Ryzen 5 3600 (Plan to replace with one of the Zen 3's when they're more widely available)
32GBs of DDR4-3600
Two Samsung 980 Pros @ 1TB each
1250W PSU
And topped it off with that beast of a monitor right there. 4K, 144Hz, HDR.
Everything I could ever need and want.
Averages in the 60's in Cold War at 4K with all RTX features turned on with DLSS.
DUDE
The Medium is more expensive than fucking Square Enix for the same USD$ pricing.
Also does this dude know how markets work? Price is supposed to reflect the purchasing power. Why do you think games are still at same USD$ tiers (like $60 for premium games) in USA?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (Max) long-term review
Xiaomi makes a ton of mid-rangers, but the Redmi Note 9 Pro has consistently stood out in the past few months, attracting consistently high interest. So...
Reviews are good but be careful as i dont think they have support for google play apps
Some android apps mighy have issue running on them if they coupd be installed on there at all.
Can't I go full android ? By rooting or whatever it's called ?Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (Max) long-term review

Oh, a good one : I wanted a 4 months plan. To benefit from the 4 months plan I needed... an SMS confirmation
So full price in one go and a guarantee that my switch will be sold soon to offset this shit

Fuck that noise, canceled and will buy through my phone provider.

Not been playing much over the holidays. Kind of just stopped playing Cyberpunk and now i think ill wait for a few patches and start again.
I got the dlc for Jurassic World Evolution and even though that game has a fair few issues and can be a bit frustrating/tedious at times i find myself really enjoying it. I hope there is a second one coming with some improvements. Its a lovely looking game at times and there is something about a game with dinosaurs. Shame there aren't more games with them. Especially management sim like ones. I think the only other one i can think of is Parkasaurus
Which looks alright but a bit too cutsey for me. There was another one i remember being developed with a more realistic look but i cant remember its name.
EDIT...............
I found it. Prehistoric Kingdom.
Looks good. Hopefully out this year.

It's part of the RGB setup.
It was so popular and so many people bought it, Steam just couldn't handle the stress on its database, so they needed to stop it from being sold.
Ok, my phone provider will sell me a mobile, but I have to do an sms confirmation.
That's it, throwing the towel.
Brave new SMS world ! I can't fucking buy a mobile because I need a mobile to do so. Sane.

Guess it's a funny omission of some sort of "upgrade to a new model" shop they have which doesn't take in account people switch phones when they brick...
Monster Hunter Rise looking pretty good, the footage they showed today looked really crisp, I don't think that was the Switch version, will be curious to see how the demo they are releasing today compares to the footage on the stream.
- Update on Phonegate -
My bad, it's on me, it seems that I am so fused to the Internet that I hadn't thought about just going in one of their stores.
After some time asking myself if I was really that far gone, I remembered that I traditionally don't buy hardware, especially phones, in store because last I heard the 14 days to change your mind doesn't apply.
So I planned to go there now, after a meeting I talked about in another thread.
Turns out in these covid days you must schedule a meeting.
That they have no slots until tomorrow.
That I will need several official papers to buy A.FUCKING.PHONE
And, I kid you not, that they will update me about my time slot by SMS. I nearly blown a gasket when i read that part, but oh god, there is an email option.
Am tired.

You know about the required blood sample, urine test, and six forms of identification, right?
I guess it beats the answer from my bank when I asked them how I was to buy a mobile when they ask for SMS confirmation to validate the purchase.
Their answer ? Go to the bank, make them change the phone number to a close friend, make purchase, go back to change phone again.
I mean, son. I am disapoint in your solution generation skill.

Don't forget matching the iris to their databases. Can't be too sure these days...
5 games down, let's see if I can clear 2 or 3 more games this weekend~
Playing through Megaman X6 in the Legacy Collection, I promise to never ever talk shit about X7 again
What the fuck is this level design
What the fuck is this level design
There is a fan patch/project that changes up some of the nonsense in X6, but yeah....overall it's among the weaker entries :/ Wonderful soundtrack though.
Wish I knew that beforehand, I'm just trying to get the damn bugged achievement so I can move on and never play this sordid mess ever again
I almost threw my controller on the wall at the last bit of Metal Shark's stage
I should also play through X Legacy 2 games some day
Can it be found in the Steam community pages?

The fan patch is for the actual PSOne version of the game, so I don't know if you could apply it to the PC version

I can't wait until Jan 20th. Literally nothing in my life will change but at least my mind won't need to worry that the US president is actively trying to burn the country down anymore.
Thankfully, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is so pretty it's almost possible to forget about the news. Honestly, this game is beautiful. Truly stunning artwork in this game. Everyone should see and play this. Its amazing.

I don't think it's necessary, but IMHO there's no reason not to play it first. They are very similar games, and while most would agree that Will is even better, Blind Forest is great as well.
Good to know. now to get past my fear of sucking at metroidvania's and im set
Damn, the LEDs they put on gamer gear are impressive.
