What I wrote about this TGS week is still true 2 days later: I got to sleep and in the morning 6 new games suddenly "appeared" in my wishlist, and that's including only the ones which have a Steam page. I can't remember the last time so many releases got announced in so little time
If you noticed, there's barely anything from TGS 22 coming to EGS and GOG.

EGS doesn't bother me, not seeing gog is a bit of a let down, though with their slight change in strategy back towards older titles, it makes some sense
It took 15 years to convince Japanese publishers that Steam was a Thing, let's keep it that way.
I'm shocked. There are Xbox Series X on Amazon.
Never saw one available. Never.
Too bad I'm not made of money, this must be a nice piece of kit.

Guess who spent past 2 days doing R&D to reproduce this small part (it is barely 1cm in length) for a cheap nephews toy XD
Watch it having a pachinko minigame
I'm playing Like A Dragon, I have Ni No Kuni installed and Deathloop preinstalled. How the hell am I supped to play all of that before Persona 5 comes out!
Drop everything and play Fortnite
Deleted my epic account years back, so no can do!
I think twitch helped a lot PC market on Japan. Mostly japanese streamers play on PC (and then Steam & DMM).
of course Switch is another level xD, but I was really surprised with this.

Fuck you Sony and fuck the Playstation ecosystem. Im so glad I bought a Rift and bought all my VR games on Steam. I have a PSVR and thanksfully only used it for exclusives.
PSVR2 won't be Backwards Compatible with PSVR games
Confirmed on the PS Blog Podcast (around 29:20): https://blog.playstation.com/2022/09/16/official-playstation-podcast-episode-439-virtual-impressions/ Shame! Hope they plan to bring some of the big games over.

Megaton news
Surprised they are completely exiting the GPU business, like to not even entertain AMD or Intel
Like what in the actual heck
It is just funny/sad/whatever that as soon as the GPU mining crashes, they immediately exit.
Never saw a company commit suicide quite like this
According to the Video posted above, the GPU's made up 80% of their revenue, sheeshSeriously, like their PSUs are nice, buttttttt I mean....
Yeah the crypto crash and change is going to be huge to the GPU market.
One of the reasons for EVGA's decision was because of the Founder Edition cards. It basically leads to a big conflict of interest between Nvidia and the AIBs.
This is insane. I started building my own PCs a little over a decade ago and my current GPU is the first non-EVGA one I buy. In hindsight, I'm kinda glad I changed. Really hope their recent customers aren't going to get screwed on their warranty. That would be one hell of a way to go for the company with the reputation for the best support in the business...
This kind of news feels like the precursor to Nvidia showing their ass.
i would like to thank the tf2 community for being random fuckers, and putting a 10 dollar value on a virtual set of abs for the demoman which i had unboxed months ago, something which then sponsors 30% of Judgment, as well as makes my SSD almost completely full
Vtubers saved PC gaming confirmed
Having watched the video, this seems like a complex story, and the personal reasons of the CEO seem like a major factor here. It does feel pretty shitty to EVGA staff that they don't get to hear about this sooner, honestly.
That being said, I do wonder how Nvidia and its other partners will react here. I could see Nvidia doubling down on the Founders Editions and really trying to become more like Apple and control both the design and manufacturing and distribution.
|OT| - Media Content Creation
I'm sure many of us do lots of different kind of media, be it videos, music, be a streamer or even video games. Thought we would have a thread with general tips and such. For example resources to find online. How to best present and show stuff online. I can update this first opening post...

I am no expert but I strongly believe that this was a major reason that killed 3dfx, and would allow AMD to grow a lot, IMHO.
New game in the Bombshell/Ion Fury setting, cool but slightly confusing trailer - modeled after the DNF2001 trailer -- also featuring a character, location & weapon from SiN

I just now realised lashman also posted this. oops!
Reason: noted that lashman has posted it too, earlier...

"optical" refers to how the switches determine if they are pressed. With "normal" mechanical switches, you move piece of metal into the PCB to close a circuit -- pretty much how light switches work. Optical switches use optical measures, light being occluded I would assume, to determine when to actuate.
Aside from that, there are no differences. The things that make linear switches linear, tactile switches feel tactile, or clicky switches produce a click sound have nothing to do with whether they are optical or not.
That being said, I have never used a board that supported optical switches myself.
I am still reeling that Konami is actually releasing Suikoden on PC.
AND BEFORE SQUARE RELEASES FINAL FANTASY TACTICS LMAO.
What a world.

TGS has been such a wonderful time for Japanese games on Steam.
I'm so glad we have finally made it to the point where most JP games are just releasing day and date on Steam.

Update for those wondering the Steam Deck booth seems to be a smash hit at TGS.
It seems to be one of the more popular booths at the event.
It seems like they did a great job with the booth and in a lot of ways it's very different to all of the other both, seeing how all of the other ones are all "busy" in a visual sense (overloading your senses, and also having a lot of distracting stuff). Meanwhile the both pulls one in with one key visual being the huge Steam Deck (there are also side panels that have visuals that change as well around that huge Steam Deck that pull your view twords it. The overall process of getting in and out is pretty simple and seems to help move theine very quickly (in other words it's very well organized). As I have mentioned before the "open air" (cafe style) of allowing people to sit where ever they want also helps pull in eyes of what you will be doing if you go to the booth
In contrast it seems that the Facebook Meta Quest is rather disorganized and you have to wait for over 2 hours!!!!!!!!! So that seems to be a very frustrating experience even though they are advertising it everywhere like crazy at the event.
Also some stuff about the Deck in Japan, it seems that the price is a rather touchy subject. The Yen is weak right now and because of it Valve has to sell it at a higher yen value in order to be close to the USD equivalent and for Komodo to be able to get their cut as well.
Eric brushed this off in a way at the IGN interview and mentioned how he things that the value that the product brings is well worth the price.
Had the Yen not been in a bad spot and the thing was only like ¥5000 more than the Switch EL then the Steam Deck 64GB would be sell like hot cakes in Japan to those that are interested in getting into PC gaming and more importantly for those that are sick and tired of waiting to have the opportunity to purchase a PS5.
That is all for now.
Just a few more hours until the true test.
As of now it's been business day but starting "today" it's general public day where an average Joe who has purchased a ticket can attend the event.
