I would have bought so many EA's games if they have achievements. They really should add them like Star Wars Squadrons.

I have no idea that these two launching tomorrow. So good to see Ooishi Ryuuko has more work to do! The art syle is amazing.

Some more demo impressions for me.

Industria demo: Yep, can feel the half life 2 influence pretty much from the get go here, even though it's still early stages. This is now a day one perch for me.

Gloomwood demo: yep that's thief with guns. Going to give it some more time. and a couple more run throughs. Though fun has been had, but something feels a bit off right now. I think it's the idea that I'm given fps style weapons, but move like Garrett and am weak like him too, and it's incongruous to how I'm wrapping my head around playing. AM I meant to sneak about and avoid enemies or kill with impunity and the game doesn't give a good sense of what works best in a given scenario right now.

Speed Limit demo: need to get my controller charged so I can give this another go. with that. Keyboard feels awkward to play with.

Snowtopia: I suck at management and tycoon style games, but the slow pace and softer, cartoon-y art style definitely made this enjoyable. Going to try and get the wife to give it a go

Okay, so it looks like it's going to be a Switch Port then. 4PM PST is 8AM in Japan.

I have Nintendo Online so I am going to test it out. And it should only be less than 20GB?


These comments are confusing
 
Page is up, game will be out later today.

I wrote to the Art Sqool dev the same thing I wrote here. Didn't think it would amount to anything, but it seems GameSpot, Kotaku and other sites published articles on him a few days later and story picked considerable amount of steam. I opened twitter in the morning to find out that I have more than 500 likes from people who would probably hate me if they knew that I'm Muslim.

Next time guys you ought to tell me to keep my mouth shut.

I have been managing my game installs the last day and it's a pain.
In my desktop I have 2 SSDs one for steam gams and a smaller one for non-steam games.
Then I have an external SSD for games I also like to play on my Laptop or Surface when I dont have access to my desktop. And then an external HDD for old/big games I probably only play once a year.

At one point I wanted to delete everything and just have one HDD with one game installed lol - main problem is that my internet is so slow that redownloading takes so much time and I never know when I want to play something, and on which machine.

Anyone else having similar "problems" ? Seems like external is the way to go but of course you sacrifice speed.

It's always better to say what you think, can never control who will like what you have to say.

Not necessarily, There are portable SSDs, like Samsung's T5 series that are about as fast as internal SATA SSDs. They are even only ~20-30€ more expansive than comparable internal SSDs.

Samsung T5 1TB = 150€
Samsung 860 EVO 1TB = 135€

Problem is, your devices need USB 3,1 type C or A for that,

There are also NVMe to USB 3,1 kits and people make their own protable drives out of them. Though I haven't tested that out yet. But I can vouch for the T5 drives to be just as good as normal SSDs.

Unmetal demo was cool.
Basically Metal Gear MSX x Jokes
I launched it, didn't laugh at the jokes, but then the game threw some again. And then more. It was nice. Not sure about the long term interest.

By the way I got my bluetooth dongle, and after some tinkering it seems to work*.

But how ? HOW ?
How the ever flying fuck do you ship an OS where the user can set the whole power saving thing at maximum efficiency, and still require him to uncheck some option lost in a jungle of shitty menus to NOT DEACTIVATE IT when the OS feels like it ? :dizzy-face:

*had to unplug my mouse receiver to avoid interference. Or it was the strangely illustrated last usb port I have that is... strange. I seem to recall I always have trouble when I plug something in it.

That look good, thanks.
I actually have a 850 in an external casing but despite it being USB3.0 I can only achieve 45MB/s there for whatever reason. I guess a new casing will do the job better.

I've watched the DF video about raytracing on PS5.
It's funny how raytracing suddenly turned from: I can't see the difference to "wow" over night.

Nothing surprising.
"What I can't have does not exist [UWSL]or I would be missing out [/UWSL]".

I do something similar for exclusives on platforms I don't have (consoles) or don't want to engage with (egs).
For example, when Cold Steel was still not on PC I knew about it and wanted to play it, since I loved Trails in the Sky and assumed I would enjoy Cold Steel too. But since it was not on PC I chose to deliberately ignore it and not care about it, because well I couldn't play it and didn't want to constantly be reminded that there is this cool thing I want but can't have.
Difference being that I usually don't try to downplay those "things I can't have" since I'm aware they may turn into "things I can have " and then I'll care about them :P

So today on Steam:
Titanfall 2 (AT FUCKING LAST)
Outer Wilds
David el cajas games
Samurai Showdown collection

Not bad, huh? 😱

Titanfall 2 was so good, I'll definitely get it if it has achievements (doubt though)

Only played a bit of Outer Wilds on Gamepass, but it was incredible and will get it as soon as it launches on steam. I can't see a release time though.

Always happens, I remember reading on in 360/PS3 time on neogaf when people would say 720p looked the same as 1080p, hardly a difference.

Did the guys at DF ever say that? I watch most of their videos and don't remember that.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL not exactly

There's story but it happens IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHTS AND WITH LITTLE IN-GAME MESSAGES so you will miss most of the action and IIRC the TF2 campaign just names one of the missions from the first game and that's it so you won't need anything from TF1 to play it and understand what's happening.

It's been a while since my last proper video, so I made a Quick Look video about Persona 4 Golden PC port:


There is a few disappointing issues, but it's possible to fix them (huge thanks to Durante for pointing out on performance fix via DXVK, I hope I pronounced your nickname right lol). Never played Persona games before and I loved what I saw so far, still thinking if I should read the guides or go completely blind, don't want to miss out on anything important.
