Why does, upon a F5, the site insists on putting me back to some old post on the page ? Can I change that behavior ?
It lightly drives me up the walls.

Not the only site that does that, so it must be a Firefox thing ?
Because the post number is in the url probably. It is the default and would be the same for every browser I think. You need to click on the page number or remove the #something if you want not to have that behavior :)

I understand, but is there then no way to automatically be placed at the last displayed post and not at the top of the page ?

Personally I've gotten used to "reloading" the page by just clicking the post number of the last post on the page, that brings you right to the new stuff if there is any.

What Ascheroth and Wok said ^^. Alternatively, you get a notification when someone posts next and you can use that to go to the first unread post.

I've reached that time where I kinda need a break from FF 12 (I usually always need to play something else after playing the same game for 20-30 hours, there are very exceptions).
So I figured I'd jump into my itch-library from the one BLM bundle-to-end-all-bundles and play some short stuff.

Just played A Short Hike and that's an easy 10/10 game if I ever saw one. Pretty, great music, full of adorable characters and super fun exploration and traversal in a map that has just the right size. Finished it in one sitting.

Also put a bit of time inta Lenna's Inception and so far it's a very fun Zelda-like.

So, :timinator: exclusivity confirmed?
I don't think so. The issue is that many people are pre purchasing a supposely early access cd key on several websites. I haven't made a search for cd key sites but I take the message as a "warning".
Early access release date should happen this month hence the tweet. I bet they will announce the date next week.

Gave it a try and it's weird and surreal and intersting, but also pretty janky.
And it just ate like half an hour of playtime because apparently it just ignored me saving and the autosave was busted too. Fun.
Kinda want to see the story through, but probably not in its current state. I have better things to do than waste time on games that don't even save reliably.

I'm guessing that there is no way to get into the beta for fall guys anymore?
----
I got an email for DD physical sub and they had codes for the beta but in under 2 min they were already redeemed

It's that moment of the week again :blobeyes:

WEEKLY GLOBAL TOP SELLER.


Well, this week's winner is clearly Microsoft with not 1. not 2 but 4 games in top 10 seller, that's IMPRESSIVE, no need to say that they are banking big time on Steam.

Destroy All Humans debuting in number 3 is something really interesting.
aside of those examples nothing really to highlight but a few observations.

Both Death Stranding and HZD are peculiar cases, let me explain, both are always in good top 10 position BUT only in European timezone, when we are sleeping both drop big time so, here's the thing, I think both are banking really well in Europe (and maybe Asia) while not so much in the US and south america and that's why one is tenth and the other isn't even on top 10.

Next week should be interesting. :dualbladesblob:

Maybe there is a lot more to it, but I do wish that they had used the new Steam system. Maybe in the future more devs will start to use it.

This game always looks to me like somebody combined four different card games in to one picture.

It's so busy looking o_O
Nah this is final boss stuff, involving me properly utilizing the game's mechanics. The game is easy to understand and once you figure out its ins and outs, it becomes a nice test of wits.

Finished Mega Man 9 and that will be the third game in the Legacy Collection 2. Only the tenth game left to beat

Apart from the graphics MM9 is a downgrade. Mega Man can't even do slides and charged shots in this entry. Kinda disappointing. But at least the difficulty went up instead. The previous games have been easier and easier for each new game

I also have been doing the challenges in the collection, so far 20 challenges completed with gold ratings

With MM9 beaten I have now finished 33 games this year.

Fall Guys is pretty great, fun as hell, but they will probably have to pump out new courses at least once a month to sustain a user base, I played about 10 hrs, I'm not bored yet, but almost there, they need to release crossplay as soon as possible.

Perfect answer. I love Larian! 😍


I was thinking about playing some of the classic megaman games. Which one would you recommend?
Go for the release order. If you want easier Mega Man games I would say that 7 and 8 are the easiest games in the series. Everyone says that 2 is the best game, but I would say that 3 is my favorite. Most probably this is the one I played the most when I was younger. (I only had 2 and 3).

Just play through all the games. They don't take much time to beat. And if you want to be like me: check the boss weakness :D

About that:
I have the suspicion that "PC" has a more heavy anchor in Europe than in America. While Consoles were strong everywhere, computers like the C64/Atari seemed to be more accepted as gaming machines in Europe. Not just western Europe by the way, but also eastern Europe. Key factor there was the ability to copy games easily. Sounds bad, but "pirating" was the only means to get games over there and cartridges based games too rare to be of significance. And it wasn't even illegal, I remember markets where people copied and bought pirated games. Pretty much looked like farmer markets, just with diskettes and cassettes instead of vegetables. Wasn't official either, but people knew where to go.
I have no idea or explanation why computers sold strongly in western europe though. But for example: the C-64 is just as famous and beloved in germany as the NES in the u.s.

I'm not saying that europeans didn't buy consoles or people on the other side of the ocean didn't play on computers. That would be nonsense. The widespread cultural status could be different though and kids growing up with a Computer could be more likely to transition into PC gaming, instead of focusing on console gaming as adults.

This idea crossed my mind the first time I noticed that this forum has a notable amount of non u.s. members. Which is an irregularity for english speaking gaming forums. The mayor difference is that this forum is more PC focused. Which wasn't planned, just something that happened.

I just realized that if 2B from NieR Automata appears in one more game, she will have stared officially in 10 games already.
SINoAlice (as a char)
Soul Calibur 6 (as a char)
Final Fantasy XIV (as a char)
Spelunker (as a char)
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (as a char)
Gravity Rush (as a costume)
Monster Hunter Z (as a costume)
Phantasy Star Online 2 (as a costume)

+ Automata itself of course, making 9

It'd just be fair if her 10th appearance would be in Super Smash Bros

OH I FORGOT NIER REINCARNATION

So she's already made it into 10 games throughout 3 years.
