If someone told me 3 years ago that in 2022 those big video game outlets could be praising a Valve hardware I could laugh in their face, but here we are in 2022 and the Steam Deck is breaking this barrier.

Konami, long-awaited.
May we welcome you then, to the church of Kawakami
Finally wrapped the game up and saw the credits. What an incredible adventure. I did the bonus semester with true ending and everything. Which I guess is the royal additions.
Its gotta be the longest game I've ever played. At least as a single playthrough of a singleplayer game. All I've played since it release and all on Deck too.
Its fucking crazy how much content the game has. They really did make 3 different long JRPGs and fused them into one game. All of it such high quality content too. So much story and gameplay stuff. All the characters and narrative. I maybe only disliked 1 dungeon and it was the cruise ship. And in all honesty it was still a decent palace. The other stuff was all great and boss fights. etc etc. The relationships and angles for everything was fun. The final boss fight went on for a bit too long and failing it was exhausting. Just brutal to restart it but overall not too hard tbh.
But yea lttp and all but strong recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it. Its up there with my favorite jrpgs of all time. Glad I held out on this title all these years to play it this way on PC/Deck. I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much via a PS4. Its way too long of a game for a living room environment and the vanilla version would have been missing a lot of stuff back then.
Its hard to even process everything after finishing it. Just a masterpiece really. You did good Atlus. Pretty pretty good.
Now about 3 weeks until Persona 3 Gonna chill and play something more relaxing for the time being.
P3 is actually one I played back in the day on the ps2 along with Nocturne. Only briefly tho maybe like only 10-15hrs but I don't remember shit. So excited play it on Deck next month.
MGS4 will get remade before it gets ported.Maybe they'll finally port MGS4 to other platforms.
I'm sorry, what?Last night I finished Trigger Witch, a very decent Zelda clone with the combat of "Enter the Gungeon". The story takes place in a fairytale world with elves, witches and goblins and stuff.
So I was shocked that the final boss turned out to be Joseph Stalin, who wants to add this fairytale world to the Sovjet empire (yes, seriously) to inherit it's magic.
I mean, come on...

Twitter rival Mastodon has rejected more than five investment offers from Silicon Valley venture capital firms in recent months, as its founder pledged to protect the fast-growing social media platform’s non-profit status.
Mastodon, an open-source microblogging site founded in 2016 by German software developer Eugen Rochko, has seen a surge in users since Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October amid concerns over the billionaire’s running of the social media platform.
Rochko told the Financial Times he had received offers from more than five US-based investors to invest “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in backing the product, following its fast growth.
But he said the platform’s non-profit status was “untouchable,” adding that Mastodon’s independence and the choice of moderation styles across its servers were part of its attraction.
“Mastodon will not turn into everything you hate about Twitter,” said Rochko. “The fact that it can be sold to a controversial billionaire, the fact that it can be shut down, go bankrupt and so on. It’s the difference in paradigms [between the platforms].”
This month, Twitter temporarily suspended the accounts of Mastodon and several journalists, after they shared content about the flight path of Musk’s private jet. Twitter also suggested it would ban links to rival social media platforms including Mastodon but later reversed course on the policy.
In a blog post in response, Rochko said this was a “stark reminder that centralized platforms can impose arbitrary and unfair limits on what you can and can’t say,” adding that monthly active users of Mastodon increased from 300,000 to 2.5 million between October and November.
Daily downloads of Mastodon rose from 6,000 on October 27, the day Musk acquired Twitter, to a peak of 243,000 on November 18, according to data from Sensor Tower. Usage of other smaller rival sites, such as Tumblr, has also rocketed.
Mastodon has similar features to Twitter but is made up of many decentralized, independently moderated servers. Users join one server but can connect with people on other servers throughout the so-called “federated” system.
Rochko is Mastodon’s sole shareholder and, according to its 2021 annual report, he paid himself €2,400 per month last year, a figure he said has since risen by €500.
Mastodon will continue to rely on donations to fund the platform. The site has more than 8,500 donors on the membership platform Patreon, through which it is raising over £25,000 a month. This compares with total earnings of just over €55,000 in the six months from June to December 2021.
According to data from Sensor Tower, the initial wave of new joiners slowed to 6,000 new daily downloads on December 9 but rebounded to 64,000 on December 18, when Musk restricted links to other social media sites on Twitter.
New users have encountered problems, with some servers struggling to cope with the increased level of activity and confusion over moderation policies on different servers.
Josh Cowls, a researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute, said Mastodon could evolve into a “satellite” platform to Twitter, “seeing greater use at times when Twitter is down, as well as in response to further Musk-related outrages.”
Rochko said his long-term ambition for Mastodon was to replace Twitter and other commercial social networks. “It’s a long road ahead but at the same time, it’s bigger than it ever has been.”

Its great fun.Any thoughts on how Wasteland 3 is compared to Wasteland 2?
If you liked Wasteland 2 it's worth a go. Great tactical RPG. I'm really hoping Microsoft is having them work on Wasteland 4 right now (but who knows if Microsoft feels like they need Wasteland now that they own Fallout).Any thoughts on how Wasteland 3 is compared to Wasteland 2?
