This raises another problem with those games which is the fact that power levels are scaled according to what's convenient for the plot. It's all over the place.

They put a lot of effort into the Mr. Gimmick! re-release. Achievements, speedrunner mode, online leaderboards, save/load, rewind, and tons of artwork. Pretty cool.
This doesn't add up, unless I'm misunderstanding something (I was talking about Lloyd's part in Hajimari, not about Crossbell arc games).
As for this, it may look like a big deal from outside, but in Hajimari it's resolved pretty quickly without the usual nonsense going on for hours.
Still kinda sad that the fancy 16 bit remake that was made for Japanese arcades isn't available here.
Welcome to ~A N I M E~
Speaking of anime, been watching Demon Slayer at the now-fiance's request. It starts interesting but then it quickly falls into typical fighting anime beats that really bore me.
That is why I shouldn't reply so early in the morning: I thought we were talking about Zero and Azure lmao.
I mean, a single viewing would be enough for any sane person.
I mean, as a Central Euro Slav, I like bleak things, but this was too much for me.
wow, they want Gylt to bomb on two platforms - that's some serious dedication!
With some hours on Threads, it looks more a Instagram itself alternative than a Twitter alternative.
I mean mostly accounts I follow on instagram have an account on Threads, but ToS are exactly the same as Instagram, some people are just "threading" the same pictures they post on instagram but without Instagram wall. And like thread account is attached to your Instagram account, comments or "threads" are just plain or not controversial fearing lose their Instagram accounts, in addition, since normally the Instagram profile is usually more personal, people avoid getting out of hand with what they say.
meh.

I dont really get why people are running from 1 bad guy to another bad guy, the hate groups that are on twitter is also on facebook and allowed to do whatever they want to... Was it really this hard for people to use Mastodon? Anyway im just glad that i left social media long time ago, my life got alot better without it.
It has nothing to do with one dipshit billionaire over another. It's because right now everyone can see how much of a fucking moron Elon actually is because he's very publicly driving twitter into the ground. People are just jumping to whatever viable ship they can before the one they're on sinks for real.
Many just want to follow specific content or people, and that content/people aren't on mastodon. Since threads shares accounts with instagram and instagram is very popular (more so than twitter), the transition from twitter to threads is easier, alot of the content many want to follow may already be there.
Though, atm threads is lacking even basic features, and while it's been said that those are coming in the future, it's not a good enough alternative yet (plus not available in EU yet).
People wanting to leave twitter is primarily because of how much Musk is making twitter more and more of a pain to use (last weekend's read limits, putting existing free features behind a paywall, and such),
I love the new twitter actually.
Only there i can see ads for highly illegal weapons disuised as "magic fun toy" and a community note pointing out how illegal it is

Oh yeah i dont mind people leaving twitter, i hope that shit gets burned down to the ground, but man its gonna sting hard if META takes over, they will have full power over social media with facebook, instagram and threads then. I do not trust Zuck one bit after they helped trump getting elected.
My haul this sale, and I'm planning to start TitS still this year.

Not to keep the off topic train running but I think there's another important thing on top of that: ease of sign up. People TRIED to leave Twitter after it reinstated a bunch of white supremacist accounts, to places like Hive (which was shady and largely failed to work for a lot of people, the app STILL doesn't work on my phone), Mastadon/federated (the extra slightly complicated signup deterred most), Cohost which has no app because going on the app store puts your NSFW support at the whim of Google & Apple suddenly, etc.
We may scoff at things like the fediverse being "hard" to sign up for but for the overwhelming majority of social media users, it IS. They never had to deal with finding and signing up for the right forum for you, or bulletin boards, IRC, even things like when AIM/Skype/etc. all coexisted. To them signing up for something is install the app, pick user name, done. And to a degree, I agree.
I have some other qualms with the fediverse but outside of Cohost (which again has no app so it's never going to be big) it's the most reasonable option out there and it sucks they couldn't have a simpler sign up process for even a bit to onboard a lot of people. I know the idea isn't for the Mastodon server to be the default but it largely is anyway and people that care more can sign up on their own server regardless.
The main thing I use social media for is following artists (some horny, some not), and the odd news / gaming news tidbit. For a long time, that was Twitter, SO many artists had a presence on there. Now most aren't on Cohost, or Mastodon, or Bluesky (which, eh), but I see a ton of them signing up on Threads because Instagram is huge and it's so easy. It sucks because I don't know if it'll ever be in a state which I could use it for my fairly trivial usage.
I enjoyed it quite a lot, have fun!Picked up Axiom Verge 2
I have not bought anything from the sale yet..
but il probably grab some indie games before the sale ends.

My steam deck arrived today, upgraded it to 1TB and now reinstalling the OS, let's hope no problems...
Agreed with everything you said, though about this last part, threads is supposedly getting fediverse support in the future, so unless I'm wrong, it may be possible to follow threads users through mastodon in the future, depending on the instance? (Not sure how that works).
don't turn the PC on
That is true, I keep thinking of it from the perspective of Threads users - they'll still be in the Threads app presumably (which is a hot mess), but it's true I'd be able to follow the artists then presumably. Maybe that'd be enough momentum to get the NSFW artists on fedi.
On an unrelated topic, my Steam discovery queue has been unusually terrible this sale. Normally there are like, 3-4 things at least a day I am really keen on, but this week has been almost 100% either F2P badness, PvP online only things, and sports games. Basically like the 3 genres I avoid. Never gone through my queue faster.
I thought it was worth full price. If you loved the first one, you may consider II a GOTY contender. Even haters of the first game love it. Just an all around incredible game.
Plug it in fully. It's really not that difficult

And to be clear you need to be sure. Don't push and assume it's good. Check that the connector is flush against the plug as far as it could be.Plug it in fully. It's really not that difficult
It should be common sense, but obviously is not.
Well it's not that it is difficult but I'm a very uh, anxious person haha.Plug it in fully. It's really not that difficult
So much that I cancelled the order for the 4070ti and ordered a 7900xt, oops.
I believe the recommended technique by PCI-SIG is to use a hammer and make sure the cable is at least a good 5 cm inside your GPU.Plug it in fully. It's really not that difficult
If you don't care about having a bad game in your steam account, the OT2 + Various Daylife bundle is cheaper than standard OT2
There is a similar bundle but with Triangle Strategy instead of OT2 and that one is even cheaper. Seems that SE really wants to sell some extra copies of VD
Yeah I am done..I don't care if I lose the legacy for humble choice..being not able to redeem keys for my purchase sucks ass.
I pay through my paypal which is set to my home address in the states...but shotgun king is like you can't do this in your region....

Yeah, I bounced completely off the first one on Switch but Octopath 2 is my current GOTY
Is there really any benefit now for HB choice being a "legacy" user?
I really wanted shotgun king lol

Sorry for your loss.
When was the last time a cable was reported on fire anyway? I haven't heard about that stuff in months.... Also I thought it was relegated to the higher-end cards too, like 4090/4080?(this isn't meant as an insult btw. It sounded less harsh in my head vs actual words.)
Edit 2: I found this very educational.
I think this issue is largely overblown and especially in a lower power card like the 4070 Vs. say a 4090. The final step to any PC build before sliding the covers back on your case is ALWAYS to make sure you cables are connected solidly, even before 12HVPWR was a thing!

Thanks again for this. Turning off my CPU's e-cores seems to have helped a lot. The game doesn't seem to like running in borderless fullscreen either, so switching to exclusive fullscreen helps to stay closer to 120 fps at all times but I haven't noticed any slowdown at all in over an hour since I turned off the e-cores. I'm honestly surprised it's taken me this long to run into a game with compatibility issues with Alder Lake but the fact that it seems so rare just makes it all the more baffling how much of a technical mess this game is. The game itself is pretty fun when you're not going crazy because it's running like absolute ass, though.I don't know what your system is but looking around the steam forums, people suggesting using special k or disabling ecores/using process lasso if you have a 12/13th gen intel cpu. might be worth a try, although the problem they're describing is stuttering, not an fps drop.
Advice on what causes stuttering? [Solved] :: STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN General Discussions
My specs are 3080ti i9 9900k and this game gets some pretty bad stuttering up toward the later half of the first mission. I am running at 2K res with DLSS set to Quality. Tried performance as well and doesn't seem to matter if DLSS is on or off. Edit: Bill Nye's solution via SpecialK injector...steamcommunity.com
Same stuttering / CPU e-core performance problems as Wo Long? :: STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN General Discussions
I'm v v excited to finally KILL CHAOS but I'm also worried this game will be a total stutterfest like Wo Long (which still hasn't been properly patched or optimized). It sounds like several steam players are running into the same frame-pacing problems. Can anyone with a 12th or 13th gen intel...

You're probably right. But I know me, and I know I won't be comfortable with it, and I'd rather that than torture myself for weeks.Sorry for your loss.

So the Old Total War games are really finally ditching Denuvo?
8 years later I will finally be able to play Attila

yeah people largely just want something that works, is easy to sign up for and use, and actually has the people they want to follow on it
people would be perfectly fine just sticking around on Twitter indefinitely if it wasn't for Musk actively wrecking the place, but he is so people are willing to consider alternatives but something like Mastodon just flat out isn't a viable one for multiple of those things people want
Instagram is one of the most if not the most popular mobile app, Threads will be huge even if it doesn't completely replace Twitter.
That being said, this was hastily put together and it shows lol

Lowest price and first time on sale since 2020.
So does this mean that Steam now has a bigger player base than PS5 in Japan?
Zero.
Not much benefit to pausing either anymore. Just cancel and resub when they send a good enough discount for a bundle you're interested in.
I'm SO excited for the new Mortal Kombat! Smoke was my favorite fighter in MK3, I'm so happy to see him return!
