Maybe you know the answer to this or maybe not, either way is ok.

When browsing this place in mobile, there is a sidebar, not always but you can click the thingy and it will appear! It's really handy. Is there anyway to make that sidebar stay permanently on my screen? And is there anyway to use it on the desktop version as well? Basically like Era's sidebar. I know many desktop users don't like it but... I really do, for usability and aesthetics.

Again if not it's okay! :cat-heart-blob:
Yo, ain't this girls frontline?

I didn't expect this, I thought CG would be publishing it on their own, good for Xseed the franchise has a lot of potential

edit: given the TL quality of their stuff the game is in good hands, also there goes the last game of the E3 lineup
edit 2: unfortunately only ps4 for now it seems, but I guess we can hope
Gah, PS4 only!? Guess I'll start hoping for a later port, because man, my PS4 hasn't been turned on in months and I really have no motivation to even hook it back up... :face-with-cold-sweat:

I'm not logged in on my phone, but basically if you click the Metacouncil logo on mobile version it makes this sidebar appear.
But if you are logged in, it's a lot more personalized and has a ton more options that would be handy even on desktop. Especially if I could just keep it open.

Ehhhhhhh! What a surprise. Those arrows are so tiny on my 4K TV lol. I been missin' them this whole time! o_O

(Though personally I would still prefer a side-bar Vs. Top-bar, but that's probably just me! I have width issues because my PC is hooked to TV. If I make MC or Era widescreen with the "toggle width" button it gets WAY TOO wide. On Era, it only gets 3/4 wide if you leave the side-bar and I find that is my happy-medium. On MC the bar is at top so this isn't an option and I have to leave the toggle width button off. )

It's totally fine, I don't want you to feel bad about it. I been browsin' MC all along just fine for quite a while already you know! :cat-heart-blob:

(I was just curious, and maybe it's something to keep in the back of your mind in-case the site ever gets a new skin.) ;)

i am pretty sure i read that the devs are interested in PC release for both of grandblue games but not at launch
Granblue Fantasy Developer Wants to Work on PC, Focus on Consoles

Famitsu published an interview with Game Director Tetsuya Fukuhara talked about Cygames’ plans for game development in the future.

We hear that on top of PS4 Fukuhara-san would also like to develop for PC on Steam. They have games like Project Awakening that are already being developed for PS4, and as a company, there is certainly a will to continue focusing on the consumer market [Editor’s Note: in Japan, the “consumer” market indicates consoles, often also encompassing PC].
Cygames is interested in bringing Granblue Fantasy Relink to Steam; new Interview outlines game Features | RPG Site

Famitsu: The 2 titles that were announced this time [Granblue Fantasy Relink & Granblue Fantasy Versus] are both coming to PS4. But do you have any plans to expand to other platforms?

Fukuhara: I think I want to expand to Steam (PC). For PlayStation 4, our company also has been working on internal developments of titles like Project Awakening among others. So as a company, we do have a certain flow on putting power into consoles.

Sims 4 is still a thing? They have so many addons to this crap I wonder what poor bastard is unfortunate enough to keep buying all of them.

Eh EA actually turned Sims 4 around quite a bit, it's pretty good now and it has a absurdly huge modding scene. Well worth the money, and it's model it's pretty much just like Paradox's

Any coupons on GMG that's either on the site somwehere or that I might have received in my inbox? Wanna pick up Octopath now that there's a trainer for it (I suck at JRPGs despite enjoying them). Still got that VIP discount though.

You can get 25% off with "E3" though Octopath might be excluded

This is the whole EA lineup? I don't give a crap about anything listed here. EA is a shadow of its former self.
Same here. And EA's line-up looks the same every year. I haven't installed Origin after buying a new SSD and I don't feel like I'm missing anything worthwhile.

Do EA really need to spend 30 minutes for FIFA and Madden, each? I feel like what amounts to roster updates and new shoelace physics don't warrant that much time. Do they truly have nothing else to show?

Well, EA has to hype that Street mode.
Duuno about Madden.

Street mode alone won't warrant 30 minutes - they'll show off social feature that likely aren't new for 15 minutes, talk about the graphics engine, show a bunch of trailers/bumpers with celebs/players to the usual sense of FOMO. Nothing of substance anyway, unless street mode is so fundamentally a different gameplay experience mechanically than regular mode. Sounds like the usual EA presser - a whole lot of nothing very loudly with star wars fan-baiting done very poorly

Oh I agree with you. EA conferences are a snooze fests anyway.

WIth "freelance" work, you never know what's gonna fall in your lap.

I already had to do Total War: Three Kingdoms and I was planning on They Are Billions going gold this month with Oxygen Not Included soon after.

But then HB sent me Void Bastards.

And the developer of Ancestor's Legacy contacted us directly to see if we were using their Saladin DLC. They thought they sent us a code, but they hadn't. I already thought highly of Ancestor's Legacy (I gave it a 9/10), but they are going in HARD, showing the fruitless slaughter of the Crusades on both sides. It's so intense, that they provide a warning in regards to the DLC that they're not taking a religious stance.

It's the kind of game I always wanted: what war looks like during biblical times. Very bold.

Oh, and then I'm on the list for Bloodstained.

June is busy, but exciting month for me, first week in.

Yeah I noticed this. I missed the opportunity to buy Sims 4 for free on my daughter's own account, but I'll get some DLCs for her.

It's also the best Sims game if you want stuff for POC.
