Yeah, unfortunately, Winnie has long, strong, masculine hands that can snap your neck in seconds. But you still have to admire how long and strong and masculine they are. I hope my words don't offend Xi

Jokes aside, it's pretty damn sad how one country can have so much power over the entire world.

It's funny how a Taiwanese Dev team shows more cowardice than the brave HongKong citizens.
Cowards (indeed easy, you are right)
 
I noticed a weird thing, sometimes my laptop gaining and a few days later losing several GBs of HDD space without me installing or deleting anything. Never encountered anything like that before, is it a normal behaviour or should I reinstall the system?

Yesterday I turned on my pc as usual, it didn't respond. After trying different sockets and all the tricks on the book, the fucker wouldn't turn on. The most logical conclusion at this point is that the power supply has just broken down.

So first thing this morning I took the pc to a repair shop, the guy picks it up and connects video, power and internet. He pressed the power and it worked! He was very kind as he didn't charge me for his time.

I went back home, plug everything in, power on aaaaannnddd it didn't work. :cryingwhyblob:

At that point I realized that the only thing I haven't tried was to use a different power cable. I found one and that was it! It was the fucking cable, can you believe it? What are the probabilities of a power cable failing?

In the end it could have been so much worse, crisis averted

I guess this will teach them to insult the great motherland with their evil, separatist propaganda. Hopefully they will learn now to value their heritage and make a game that explains people how there is no such thing as Taiwan, but merely a past and future province of greater China and how fortunate they would be to be united under a great red flag and the watchful eyes of Xi Dada.

Hey guys just to start this week in a good mood I'd like to remember y'all that Konami could release Suikoden 2 on digital platforms any day - but they won't.

Eh, it will take far more than that to kill my mood. Just saw a doctor at the hospital and it turns out I may (hopefully) live many years more, and whole. I saw people at death door in there, it was my first visit to the hospital since the death of my father (and the death of a part of me). And to top it all, girls (and boys) are so pretty in the summer.
The doctor was a cutey, and I shared the trip back in the tram with a stunning Sinead O’Connor styled girl.
Life was good today. Girls are pretty. I should try this thing called a social life.
I love you all and I should learn to love myself a little more.

And since we are in the anime thread, mono no aware.

Suikoden 2 is on PSN. Only playable on PS3 and Vita but better than just PS1.

In Dota Underlords, getting the buffs from 4 trolls that gives extra attack to all your units is quite powerful. Just have to be fast to get it. Several times I've been loosing and gone down to 30 in health and then suddenly go on a winning streak and end up 2nd for the whole match.:D

When Windows 10 updates your PC it leaves files around for a bit in a folder before deleting them and also with certain updates it leaves another folder to allow you to roll back if it all goes horribly wrong. They can take up a noticeable amount of space.

I'm still using Win7. Might be an internet cache or something similar, I noticed that hdd's free space goes back to normal after I download something from Steam or other clients.

Instabuy as soon as it comes out. I love the Pilgrim Adventures and i'll buy anything the author puts out. I've bought everything so far and i've not been disappointed yet. So glad to see them getting increased recognition!

I can thank ME for 2 things, it drove my business up at my computer repair shop and it caused me to install Windows 2000 on my personal machine.

I keep reading that Kid Icarus: Uprising is a great game. I just finished chapter 11 and Im very bored. It seems like a really fun game, but it doesn't click for me.

Played a couple of hours. The story recap is very superficial but it wasn't hard to get back into it. I forgot how much I enjoyed managing the caravan, already had a couple of pretty extreme situations where every decision counts. It really sucks when you make a bad call and lose a ton of people. I think I'm doing well overall though.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I also just played an hour or two.
Do you mean the part where they cross the chasm? That was super intense, really liked it. I went from about 300 people (with Fighters) and 60 Varl to about 150 people and 40 Varl, that was brutal. I did make some bad choices, though.

I really don't like the combat of these games, I feel Banner Saga is the reason turn based combat has a bad rep. Super slow, and with long periods of boring things, which you can't ignore though since small mistakes will bite your ass many turns down the line.

Yep, that's the part I was talking about and also the

before that.
I quite like the combat, I'm a sucker for srpg's and I don't have any major issues with it, I agree it's slow but I like the animations and the sound effects.

That's actually a great apology. They still held responsible and didn't solely blame Indivent for the cause. Also, its cool that they're still re-releasing the game in the future.

It is sad that they feel to have to apologize for such a non-event in the first place...

Any ladies here? This might be of interest to you.
The project presents an exploration of consent and the politics, tactics and practices of the male pick-up artist and seduction community. Through the format of a dating simulator, players experience the practices of several prominent seduction coaches (aka pick-up artists). In the game these pick-up gurus attempt to seduce the player using their signature techniques taken directly from their instructional books and video materials. Pitting players up against six prominent seduction coaches who are vying for their attention at a bar, the game provides the opportunity for players to explore the complexity of the construction of social behaviors around dating as well as the experience of being a femme-presenting individual navigating this complicated and often dangerous terrain. It is accompanied by a musical score thoughtfully composed byXiu Xiu.

Dunno if it's successful in its aspirations but yeah.

What do you think of the game so far? I might give it a read tonight after I finished MLU.

I tried to play Phantasy Star 2 just to make myself more knowledgeable about the old-school JRPGs, and I gave up after half an hour, Seems like games from 80s in general aren't my cup of tea, because I had the same issue with Starflight, I simply have no idea how to play them.

I don't blame you. Not only the game is hard, but the amount of grinding needed to get by some bosses is obnoxious. There are a number of romhacks on RHDN to mitigate some of its archaic design, but ymmv.

I haven't put enough time into the game by any means but iirc, DSR resolutions can be detected by this game, so if you have a decent GPU, this is an alternative.

'twas me.
But I don't think I can help you here :/
I didn't use Special K, just downsampled with DSR, applied some post-processing effects with ReShade and filed the somewhat blurry UI under "this is a remaster of a PS3 game, can't have everything".

If the devs decided to self-publish the game to not make deals with the devil then it's a great news that should shut the hell up some people in the media. But if they want to suck more money out of the devil, well, then it's a different story.

yeah ... that's why i'm not sure if it's good news .... because on one hand - Private Division might've tried to force them to go egsclusive - and that's the reason why they aren't publishing them any more

but on the other hand - maybe epic bought them out (just like they did with DONTNOD and Twin Mirror) in exchange for egsclusivity

You guys worry too much. ;)
Do you honestly play all these games (or do you, like me, just want to buy them, so they remain unplayed for ages)? :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I have so many games in my backlog, and with so many cool games launching every month, why should I be worried about a game being EGS exclusive or not?
I keep interrupting or dropping games due to a lack of time (awesome games like Grim Dawn, Yakuza 0, Bloodstained, and many others), and some I'm yet to even start playing, so frankly, I couldn't care less if the game is EGS exclusive.

Since I already have a few games pre-ordered for later in the year, I'll be making an increased effort to play the games I already own, and buy less games.
I mean, I'll still keep buying DLCs like pinball tables, and smaller games (especially point and click, FMV games, and shmups, which are genres that most people never bother supporting, not even "indie friendly" Tim Sweeney), but I'll be cutting down on "big" games.
