Marvelous/XSEED will probably bring over Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town, Rune Factory 4/5 and No More Heroes 3 eventually. Just gotta be patient
I know it's just that I need some announcement right now haha

I mean, I know for a fact about a few things coming soon but knowing them doesn't make me feel better, I WANT THE ANNOUNCEMENTS NOW!!!!
 
If these numbers are correct, is it worth to upgrade from my 5820k 4 ghz or should I wait and see what Ryzen 4000 will provide?


Im talking about gaming performance.

Because when I upgrade it's either gonna be only a RTX 3080 for me or the whole computer.
 
Hopefully I will be able to get some Japanese games, and damn, I would love some announcements coming from Square-Enix or SEGA :(
I have 25 Steambuckeroos that want to be turned into anime.
Hopefully Atelier goes on sale, but it's probably a 50/50 chance knowing KT.

I need to find a spreadsheet that don't choose some random new typeface each time I add a line.
LibreOffice is slowly killing me. Never found where to set a typeface for the document.
...
OT ? Nope, I was adding the must buy to next month budget !
I'm a good boy now, I try to plan ahead.

So this month the two big releases I watch are Xenoblade Switch and Satisfactory.
But nothing is set in stone as Xenoblade bored me to tears the first time I tried it some years ago and Satisfactory interests me, but not sure I want to give the dev the... satisfaction :fashionblob:

I've been working with Libre for a year now, here's my review:

Can we as a species for the love of god just go back to OpenOffice or something
 
Some interesting articles about vikings and how, being seafaring folk, they did travel beyond Europe and interacted with other civilizations

Eh, my last adventure was, being royally fed up with the frequent manual updates, finding the auto download setting. I felt stupid but it was so good. It worked maybe one time :confounded-face:

Indeed.
 
I’d love some insider knowledge on where 7nm is at Intel, but it’s impressive that they’ve managed to take 14nm so far - further than I thought possible. Not to say that it’s a worthy ambition.

I recently switched to FreeOffice, after running into issues updating a couple of Spreadsheets, and so far it seems to work better than LibreOffice:

But note that you need to register for a free account and that it will occasionally beg you to upgrade to the "pro" version.

I already knew Vikings were traders but this was still fascinating to read. Thank you for linking!

A wild Deadly Premonition Switch discount appeared. 50%, making it 14.99
Unplanned purchase, not sure I would like it, but the perspective of playing the game without a 'How to not nuke your save' guide is tempting.

Nice! Was waiting for this. Haven't started a new game since i finished Alyx. Just been playing Squad everyday. Hopefully there will be some nice discounts, i wouldn't mind playing another Atelier game, since i haven't played one since the Arland trilogy on the PS3, but knowing KT, i bet the games won't even be discounted.

Initial Gears Tactics Impressions: I'm not sure I like it.

negatives
  • I miss a tech tree and a over-world map.
  • I don't like the random nature of equipment.
  • Equipment screen is uncomfortable, needs to many clicks and lacks information. Typical console UI in a PC game problem.
  • It's hard to recognize some enemies quickly. For example "normal" drones, and drones with shotguns that have automatic close quarter melee strikes. That's a cardinal sin in a strategy game imo.
  • You sometimes need to slowly creep forward, constantly over-watching. It can be a bit monotone.

-/+ Story is what it is. Doesn't blow me away so far.

positives
  • Surprisingly difficult at times.
  • Graphics
  • Performance
  • Sound (outstanding!)
  • Overall gameplay is mostly fine

It's not a bad game, but I'm currently happy that I've not paid 70€ tbh. Something currently doesn't click.

All that I know about Vikings I learned from Vinland Saga



It's a must watch/read, especially in a place filled with Isekai series that are pretty much carbon copies of one another.


Also I'm a bit disappointed in that GW banner. I was hoping something of the quality of the Steam Awards. You know the one with a pixelated GabeN selling you stuff in his store. Now that was great.

I have to say, the anime is great but if you like it, I strongly recommend reading the manga. The pacing of it, the art, everything about it elevates it to much greater heights than the anime with perhaps a couple exceptions.

The village's pillaging and mass grave was haunting in the anime.

Starting tomorrow you can buy a 2B avatar for VRChat from Square Enix for 10000 Yen.

No, seriously.
Are also selling a 9S one.

Also isn't VM4 starting today (Wednesday?)

Also are you sure, last I checked I thought it was $20USD for each one

Seriously. The fact that VRChat has a really simple lighting model makes it so much worse. This is slightly south of a hundred freedom bucks.

You would pay the same price for two times the result of half a decade's hard work for anything from 10 to half a thousand people, also called AAA games.

The Vikings TV series is good too and I plan on watching it some day

Vinland Saga is great too though.
 
Im gonna play and finish AC Vikings with 1 month UPlay+ then Im gonna buy it when it's cheap as hell.

I don't expect a Steam release so that's my current plan.

Uplay added NOK currency to the store some weeks ago so 1 month of Uplay+ is cheaper now for me than in the start when it was in euro.
 
Gonna check out Streets of Rage 4 on game pass to decide if it's worth a purchase. Not that into beat'em ups, but game looks great. I did play Scott Pilgrim game on my PS3 and liked it though.

I feel sad for PS Plus owners. A leak a few days ago said may's Plus games would be Dark Souls Remasterd and Dying Light.

Well...



Interesting like/dislike ratio.

Me not deciding to resub my Plus sub when it lapsed in january keeps being a good decision. Only thing I miss is perhaps Crash Team Racing MP. I thought I would miss Plus exclusive discounts, but turns out I don't care for that.
