I know it's gonna be difficulty and if people here don't want to do that, no problem. However I ask all of you to at least reduce the amount of Twitter embeds here. I cannot stand Musk anymore after his nazi salute. Nazis deserves no attention and now the richest man in the world has done a nazi salute and has an office in the white house.

So even if Twitter can't be banned here, I hope all of you can work at at least somewhat reducing the amount of Twitter embeds.

Nazis are scum of the earth and they cannot have a single chance of becoming social acceptable again.

I covered Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC port for RPG Site on Steam Deck. It is playable, but drops below 30fps in busier areas despite the big visual. cutbacks. Put in over 25 hours into it on Deck including boss fights, summons, open world, etc.

Pretty much what I expected. The Deck will be great for doing side stuff in the open world but I'll try to use my PC for whenever I'm in towns or doing the main story.
Come on GMG where's my FFVII Rebirth key? :tired-face:
Also this.

I was very much against the idea that using twitter meants supporting Musk or his "Anti-Woke" bullshit, because generally speaking, there's no such thing as ethical consumption blabla, but since he straight up did a Hitler Salute yesterday and the US government itself going full Hitler now at lightningspeed, i've definitely started to feel different about the situation and finally made a Blusky account.

It's actually crazy how FAST it happened that saying anything moderate like "Nazis bad" became controversial.

Especially with how much mainstream media immediately decided to side over to fascim now too.

Like, you can directly see the comparison in how much legacy media is downplaying Musk and Trump in germany the last 2 days, compared to how critical it used to be of them for the last few years, as thought they are already complying in advance, and this is literally a different fucking contintent.

Im not doom sayer enough to give up, but i do think one should be ready for the rise of facism everywhere now

For the past several weeks, the algorithm in Twitter's For You tab has become so insufferable, that the kind of contents I've curated for years has effectively been suppressed. It's all American politics, political memes and rage bait despite my best efforts in adding the keywords to my blacklist. I can no longer spend my time blocking and filtering this shite instead of discovering and enjoying the content I like.

I think it's time to call it a loss, too. :flare_pout:

The discourse around veilguard was one of the most bizarre things I’ve seen in gaming, people who didn’t play it declaring it be one of the worst games. While it was actually pretty good, sure not amazing on the whole but it was still in my goty list.

If you are a fan of a specific mechanic and playstyle in a game series and the next game doesn't do any of it, you can rightfully proclaim it is a worse game even if you didn't play it. (and anything I read about it and saw examples of, did paint a picture of a mediocre game to me)

it doesn't help that just saying it is a bad sequel in the series or just a bad game gets you thrown in with the chuds or people throwing things like "tell us how you really feel" or "we know what your hidden agenda is" at critiques of the game.

I best Veilguard and honestly though it was about a 7/10 game
Personally, I think that's kinda the problem. EA is a big publisher, Bioware is a well known developer, and Veilguard is an AAA title that costs 60€ (+ 20€ Deluxe DLC). 7/10 shouldn't even be near a game like this. Even if I were to limit myself only to western style rpgs released on Steam I can probably find multiple titles that costs less and are better received
Money doesn't grow on trees, and I'm not going to spend it on a 7/10 just because Bioware made it

I only got to play Veilguard via family share (that breaks soon) and I found it decently okay perf aside due to my PC at that time.

This coming from a guy who couldn't get into any of the older games. The simple character creator was perfect for me tho lol.

Yeah it's a big problem. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if a big factor in the uneven quality was it was in development as a GaaS for a long time before becoming a single player RPG but overall I can't imagine EA is happy with the final results, especially if they look at the acclaim and critical success of Baldur's Gate 3.

But that’s the thing, the series doesn’t even really have a specific game style. One thing it does consistently is change.

Glad the rebirth port seems to have turned out well. Most everyone says any stuttering is very minor and only when entering a new zone for a few seconds.

Remember my tips post and change some of the settings in the video. I saw one reviewer mention how the combat felt like it was resisting their efforts to switch enemies during attacks and all I could think was "nooo he didn't know about the combo targeting setting".



Come on GMG where's my FFVII Rebirth key? :tired-face:
GMG confirmed no keys until launch day due to the pub's orders.

No preload hurts though. Not gonna be fun for some people downloading 155 gb tomorrow.
