I tried Scourgebringer though Gamepass. Seems to be a fun game. It was difficult at first, but after learning the controls and playing a while it got a little easier. I managed to beat the first level

I'm hyped for the 2020 games I already have! But most of them EA games and I have usually wait till a EA game has achievements till I start playing them and they don't yet.
Just looked into Kynseed. Looks amazing.

Always Sunny creator new show Mythic Quest is out.

On Appel TV+.

bleh
Man, I hate this transition to 100 different TV services and half of them being shit in Sweden. I rather pirate some of the shows if good than have to pay 10€.

On Appel TV+.

I got apple tv for free because I upgraded my iphone and its such a bad service.

I had to google Mythic Quest because at the time Apple TV+ didnt list it on their show list, then when I got it in required me to enter a credit card to verify I was 18+. The episode selection is also a pain in the ass to use and the whole thing feels really clunky.

Mythic Quest itself was fine though but almost every time they transistioned to a new scene they randomly put in scenes from Ubisoft games like Assassin’s Creed or For Honor. They never fit whats going on and Ubisoft has absolutely nothing to do with the characters, location or plot.

Episode 5 was amazing though. It focuses on a completely different group of characters and follows them through a 20 year timeframe where they found a studio and have their first game blow up as the creators struggle to maintain creative control of its IP. Came out of nowhere and was really well done. Its a very different shift from the main series tone though as it heavily relies on Drama rather than Comedy. But Episode 6 goes right back to the regular cast.

And players.

It would also be cool, buy not necessarily if Valve also added player count to the view count. So you know how many people are watching the stream and how many people are playing the game. Of the game by chance had multiplayer elements or something that would be useful information.


And wow 10k people are watching? I'm guessing that it's just a rebroadcast? Since it doesn't show the Chat option and I don't think there is any commentary.


I have been suspicious of just how high the number of views for some of these games is.

I'm still under the impression that some devs just get bots to tune in and get on that section of Steam.

I think you just need 200 views on average to get on that part of Steam.

It's a nice marketing tool though

I've played a bit of Underhero, part of the current Choice, because I've heard it's a hidden gem and yes, it's very charming and good so far.
I like the combat. It's timing and stamina based. You can attack whenever you want but it costs stamina, and without stamina you can't dodge. There is also a little bonus damage if you attack with the beat of the music. You dodge by either jumping or ducking before an enemy attacks (depending on their attack) and successfully dodging regenerates extra stamina.
Outside of combat it's a 2D platformer where you can explore and find and coins and treasure chests and probably secrets. Also has side quests and stuff.
It's neat.

I just learned that RCT3P is no longer on Steam. It was one of my favorite PC games as a kid. I do have it digitally on Origin (I didn't really know much about Steam at the time and just got it on Origin in 2014 since it was on sale at the time, I use to have the physical edition of the game)

I don't know what I did, but this appeared at the top right corner of my screen. Any idea how to make it disappear?

Edit: Ctrl+Shift+O to toggle Radon Overlay (Alt+R for the settings).

The Xbox app started downloading FFXV



Can't wait to play it around the next year.
Its worth it. There is a lot of cutscenes and all of them are pretty good quality despite the story being a mess. It was ambitious as hell so enjoy it when done downloading.

Also don't forget to watch the anime episodes and kingsglaive movie prior to playing. Both are prequels to that mess of a story. The anime stuff is on youtube irrc the other one you might have to rent or find some streaming service that has it.

I need to start playing Blade Runner so I can follow the GBE playthrough of it (and listen to the Watch Out For Fireballs episode on it). Iceborne has put everything on pause, for now.
I’m at odds with myself where I want to just keep playing Blade Runner winging it but I also want to see what clean stories can be made by doing the right stuff.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into the anime and the movie.

Desperate attempt #121 to organize my digital shit : devs, can you please stop using MY personal space for YOUR shit ? When I try to clean my 'Documents' folder and find bits and bobs of installed games, I'm not laughing :disapproval-blob:
Save folders for some games, Windows fucking Powershell, Adobe shitty digital editions...
Will I have to make a 'My Documents, and My Documents Only' folder, damn it ?

Is this a joke to you ? :cryblob:

I am almost done with DQB2, I think I am about 90% done with the story mode of the game.

I got the game on release for PC, I didn't really start to play the game until the beginning of January. So it has taken me over 1 month to finish the game.

Steam had me at 137 hours so far and after taking AKF time, I at least have 130 hours or so in the game.

I should be done with the game by the time that DXM releases on Steam, I think I will also get the Azur Lane game since it does have a 20% discount, you get the Deluxe stuff if you pre-order the game and it seem that the only way to get Neptunia in the game is to buy the game during it's first month of release.



Also how much different was the Japanese version of GTA SA compared to the western version?



Also DSFix got a mention

Final Fantasy XV... was quite a ride. A short ride. Not that I was gonna waste my time on "this".
To stay polite, I think I should talk about the good points in the game:
-Music's good.
-It even starts with Stand by me and that's cool.
-...
Yeah.
Calling the ten years long project a failure is indecent. Failed games have reason to be bad at least. They're not purposefully made to be as shitty as they are.

Very "funny" to see how everything fell apart because of Square Enix's leadership, and how it's still the same people in charge while Tabata was the scapegoat, and Nomura went on to shit up Kingdom Hearts 3.

I am so fucking afraid for Final Fantasy VII... but hey, at least there's one good aspect of the episodic format! They can(t stretch a 12h game over a hundred! ... or can they? Because if it's the same 1998 MMO-like level of game design, it's going to suck.

I just launched a Firefox plug in to detect duplicate bookmarks. I have never used it and have leftover bookmarks from ADSL early days.
152 000 bookmarks. 2112 empty folders. This could take some time :sweaty-blob:

Edit -


A little nervous, but it feels good :cat-pizza-blob:


What is the recomended soft for duplicate files ?

In case you were wondering if "Corruption 2029" was a timed exclusive or not.

Finished Nioh. Didn't do DLC content yet, I'm good with the main stuff for now.
I found it pretty amusing how the reverse difficulty curve really kicked in for the last region in particular. Pretty much defeated all the bosses and previous-bosses-that-are-now-just-sub-bosses on the first try. Blinding Shell + Sloth + 3 extra lifes is such a hilariously broken combo.

literally what
Err, literally no idea :shrugblob:
I have no earthly idea how I could have ended up with so many duplicate bookmarks and folders. I mean, toying with my browser file structure is not a habit of mine.

Edit - I mean I could hypothesize that this included backup every 'x' year, and some badly thought out re-importation (thinking the process would overwrite the files). But even then...

If you look at the duplicate bookmarks:


You can see that you have an "important" folder for last year, which you proceeded to archive in the "old" folder. :cpc_lol:

And you actually kept both folders. Things can grow fast if you are into infinite recursion, etc. You need to delete some stuff at some point. :cpc_kappa:

I'm just playing it without looking into stuff. It's a lot more breezy that way, and it's a healthy exercise in keeping my maximalist tendencies in check. I was watching GBE's playthrough last night, and Alex just kept telling Vinny what to do next. That didn't seem particularly fun. The Nancy Drew and Contradition series, where they were actualy trying to figure stuff out organically (even if it meant getting stuck), were much more interesting to watch. In the same way, I think doing a guide-less playthrough is more interesting than following a checklist. Afterwards, learning of the different things that might've happened is fun in its own right. That's why I'll be going through the WOFF podcast on it. Rather than doing another run, I'll vicariously play through the game again from their perspective, and they'll definitely also cover all the stuff they didn't encounter themselves.

Err, yes and no. The "Old" folder is when I said fuck everything and put every bookmark in it, Then I have indeed re-bookmarked the bare mininum.
But that doesn't explain what I saw when I got deeper in :fearful-face:
...
Duplicate bookmarks that can have 20-30 clones :fearful-face: :fearful-face:
And no, I can be peculiar, not logical, or what have you, but I sure as fuck never bookmarked 30 times the same exact webpage.

Let's take for example the "giraffe kissing its newborn" page. Yeah, I maybe over-bookmark. But 30x "giraffe kissing its newborn" is super weird fetish territory.

Edit - Let's be accurate, people. I only have 24 giraffes.

Played a small bit of Wolcen before everything gets wiped on release and price increases. It's really good, gonna use it to wait for Diablo 4 (unless Blizz fucks that up too).

Nice! Let us know how the Windows port is. I really, really enjoyed FFXV, nearly got plat for it but moved to other games so i need to go back and play the Episodes sometime soon. I understand some people's issues with the game but it clicked with me so well.

Have fun.
