I still haven't played The Final Season, despite being one of the people who purchased the whole thing before they went bust. Not sure why.

Bad fonts seem to be the norm for PC VNs, though. Steins;Gate was also bad about this, only really fixed with the fan patch

Seems like it's mostly a thing in games that get ported from consoles and aren't handled by PC VN publishers.
Can't recall it ever being being a problem in any of the games I've played from Sekai or Mangagamer for example.

$200 for glasses?! Damn. :blobnerd:

The prescription (aka doctor visit) cost about $50USD, it cost $70USD if i wasnt to get my pupils dialated.

The glasses themselves with some decent lens cost $100USD but I plan to get some blue light filtering stuff since I am going to be in front of a screen for 8 hours for my work. And my eyes have been getting tired and watery lately. The whole reason that my glasses broke in half is because I was rubbing my eyes since it felt like their was something in them and they fell shortly after that.


The glasses plus the blue light filter lens Should be $150USD and my glasses typically last me 2+ years so that's not a bad price



Oh and Valve figuring out other ways to make more money. Will Steam trading cards go up in value?

Don't make me reinstall it. I thought I was done with this game. I'm just going to spend a day modding it and then play it for one hour before dropping it :p.

This sounds cool.

Today, we are announcing Project: Mara, our new in-development experimental title that explores new ways of storytelling, and we’re excited to share the first details with you.

Project: Mara will be a real-world and grounded representation of mental terror. Based on real lived experience accounts and in-depth research, our aim is to recreate the horrors of the mind as accurately and realistically as possible. Project: Mara will be an experimental title and a showcase of what could become a new storytelling medium.

Since joining Xbox Game Studios in 2018, we’ve been hard at work on our upcoming multiplayer brawler Bleeding Edge, our new recently-announced innovative R&D project, The Insight Project, and of course Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II. These projects will continue to drive our development goals for the next few years and will help shape Ninja Theory’s vision for our future.

Yeah, sorry that's what I meant. The people porting them clearly don't give a shit about font work (with few notable exceptions), which is insane as that's the single most important thing for VN games. What other challenging programming task is there in a VN? Drawing static 2D backgrounds?

Walking Dead Season 2 was too grim to the point of boredom.

Season 3 is good IMO, and you can even get a positive outcome from the plot.

Alright, so here's the deal with Utawarerumono on PC:

Pros:
-Good keyboard and mouse controls, button prompts for KB/M, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4

Cons:
-internally capped at 720p/30, although output resolution can be changed.
-Text looks like this:



Check that image fullscreen to see the issue.

It's rough, folks.

Dunno tbh, the files themselves should be similar enough for the games to recognize them.

Thanks for the AMA link!
I wanted to ask an obscure rendering question but given the volume that's happening over there it seems like it would almost certainly get buried :p

I wanted to know if ALyx means future Half Life titles would be VR focused as well or will there be ... flat (is that the right term?) titles in the series as well, but I don't want to sign up for reddit just for that

I haven't even played episode 3 yet, and I've owned all of them before they were delisted, including S4. I want to play them, but keep forgetting they exist.

I'm glad The Final Season of TWD enjoys the middle of a 9th page on Steam's global top sellers. I wonder if people from Skybound expected it to be treated like a new release?

These are the remaining 2009 games I plan on playing over the next couple of days, afterwards I'll be diving back to 90s games and making my way up to the 2000s. Thing is, First Person Shooters can really really drain me, much like RPGs, so I'll be skipping some FPS and RPGs going up and go back to them once I feel relaxed for another FPS or RPG.
