Matt Walsh claims anime is """"Satanic"""" but has no proof

HEY GUYS WHO WANTS TO BE THE ONE WHO STRAPS HIM DOWN TO CHAIRS AND MAKES ME WATCH THE ENTIRETY OF EVA and END Of EVA and all that assorted garbage,

If he thinks he's down bad, wait until he watches EVA, motherfucker will be simping for 30 years+ for a teal coloured clone with barely any personality besides being child like.

We ought to get banpuncher on the case and have the aussie give him so real ass drain bamage. Nearly coming to fists with a bogan at a wal mart parking lot over the last Wii U is not a system of governance but goddamn Aussies are down baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad and willing to fight at the drop of hat which is perfect for alt right shit head like Matt Walsh. I want his rotted soul to feel getting trucked by a bogan on cocaine.

Hey what do you mean Team Fortress 2 or Banpuncher is accurate depiction of aussie what do you mean? aussies are born with that level of irony poisoning. WWE is not the most optimal form of governance in aussie but go off king

Getting 100% crates in Crash 4 is wild. The first two levels are fine, but then the third level... :sweaty-blob:

You've got 2 crates hidden in sneaky spots, just barely visible (and one can get blocked off, requiring a level restart). 2 crates hidden high up, just out of sight of the camera (one becomes missable if you break the box below it without knowing). Crates on a hidden side path. Crates that require knowing how to slide jump before it's been taught. A tricky bonus level. Several crates that become unreachable if you break the ones below them improperly.

I'm loving this, but I suddenly understand why people have been malding over trying to get 100% completion in this game. If they're already this rough on the third level, I can only imagine how nasty it'll get later on.

Only 30 fps in consoles. Running to cpu limitation already this gen or not? Will be interesting to see the DF analysis.
It's not as bad as plague tale on paper at least, but yeah things are ramping up pretty quick in gaming. It's one thing to need a mid gen console refresh but what are PC gamers going to do? If these games keep stressing 3000 series gpus that only leaves us with the horrendously priced rtx 4000s to upgrade.

Also, for what is worth, on SteamDB's discord server, a user found that indeed TWEWY is within GMG's backend, so yeah, it's real. We don't know when or if they are going to launch it but looks like a leak a la Octopath Traveller 2 and Triangle. Why?

Because why would GMG have TWEWY on their system when they do not sell EGS S-E keys even if they are partners? as a matter of fact, GMG is an authorized one and they likely just got the information so I would say there's a chance it's happening soon. AND OF COURSE, because we live in this cruel universe, it will release in October too lol

(last part about October release was a joke)




Speaking of things coming to Steam (allegedly) Looks like Rockstart introduced new Steam configuration to Definitive Edition games via last patch. So yeah, this one seems to be coming to the platform too at some point, perhaps year 1 next month? we shall see.

I enjoyed TWEWY on the Switch, so looking forward to a 3D sequel to it. I hope the soundtrack is still as captivating as the first one, and I'm really interested in finding out how they translated the touch screen controls to actual gameplay with buttons.

I've been thinking about getting HITMAN 3 for my Deck and finally play through the entire trilogy. So I was glad when it suddenly appeared on sale a few days ago and picked it up immediately.

I tried to do the Hitman 2 profile export thingie, but it just froze on me (as many others have reported on reddit) and Idecided to just skip it and start from the beginning.

Not that it matters that much, since I played the most in Hitman 1, and that progress never transferred to Hitman 2, where I begain replaying the Hitman 1 levels again a few years back. So there really wasn't a lot of progress to transfer to 3.

I know a lot of the Hitman 1 -> 2 issues arose from IOI going independent, but they really have managed to make everything as convoluted and hard to fix as possible.

IOI can burn for all this shit. It's really unfortunate that they have a genuinely good game or I wouldn't give them a second thought.
How is Hitman on Deck ?

One would think that all the publishers decided those stupid decisions for IOI, but they have made stupid decisions for all three games themselves...
Asides from that Hitman games are great. I need to buy Hitman 3 some day

I feel like TWEWY releasing after more than a year and a half increases the chances of KH as well.
It hasn't been more than a year and half, Neo TWEWY was released on EGS on late September last year.

When it comes to KH, it's not just about Squeenix, there's also Disney.
Or maybe Epic went with a longer exclusivity period for that one.

Like Frogwares. The community keeps leaving them the benefit of the doubt but they prove on the regulart that the issue is at the very least not only on their partners.

Played the first chapter of plague tale 2 and it crushes my PC. My 3070 can barely maintain 60fps at 1440p/high settings with dlss on quality. It's pretty disheartening to already run into something that makes the 3000 series seem out of date.
Weirdly it feel like my 2060S is doing alright, with DLSS of course, but damn my CPU gets taken to a back alley and beaten so much in this game, got to the market with the amount of characters on screen and fps drops heavy, rats same thing (which is a problem with a game about rats).

Wait, so Silent Hill F is actually a game?
Seems hinting to Sakura or whatever was the name with that one with the flowers

Historic low on Sephonie, one of my favorite games of the year.


It's a niche title, but if it works for you, it's fucking magical. The game does a solid job establishing tone thanks to its distinct visual style and killer soundtrack, but then it hits you with the writing. At certain key points in the game, you get these stream-of-consciousness explorations of the protagonists' memories. They drift between large-scale political topics and deeply personal moments, drawing attention to the ways the world influences people and shapes their experiences and identities. It's phenomenal writing, and manages to be intensely evocative of really specific emotions.

Mechanically, it's a somewhat clunky platformer, but one with more depth than the jank initially suggests. You parkour your way through the island's surreal caverns, using a sprint system that increases your speed and opens up wall-running at the cost of limiting turn-speed. Along the way, you find and "link" with creatures in the island, which occurs in a laid-back puzzle game. There are also oodles of collectibles, including a whole new class of them unlocked in the postgame. I've been playing it for a while now, and taking in the atmosphere while hunting for secret items has been a great time.

Like I said, it doesn't have broad appeal, but I want to signal-boost it regardless, because it's a really unique and well-crafted game.

The market tanked my performance. I was holding 60fps with DLSS up until that point but that part made me cap the game at 30.

I need to go back to Sephonie as I was enjoying it a lot but the amount of games releasing this year made me stop playing so I could focus on other games.

What's your CPU ? I get the feeling my 2600x isn't gonna do it anymore, myself.

But I also get this weird juvenile resentment towards manufacturers and their new mid-end hardware priced at high-end level. So meh.

There's a rumoured Silent Hill project codenamed Sakura. This is basically saying "Sakura is the Silent Hill F that showed up on the Youtube stuff"
I knew. Just trying to be funny (as well as being too desperate for a new SW game) :rolleyes:

if Silent Hill: The Short Message is shadowdropped today (which seems a reasonable possibility given that it's already been rated in Korea), I hope it's on Steam as well as PS5. Fully expecting it to be a PS5 exclusive, though.

also, grain of salt but the rumored Bloober Team-developed SH2 remake is gathering further steam. I've actually liked Bloober's horror games despite their flaws, but the discourse on this one will be pretty interesting (The Medium in particular got a lot of backlash for how it handled themes of trauma and abuse).


and finally, apparently Annapurna's rumored SH spinoff is developed by No Code (Observation, Stories Untold). Honestly more interested in this one than the SH2 remake or the new mainline game.

Gonna wait for it to get cheaper or in a bundle, but definitely looking forward to playing this. I quite liked the devs' previous game, Anodyne 2, despite some clunkiness, though I didn't finish it due to finding the (I think) final section overly drawn out.
