Ok, I think I have already said this like 6 times so this will be the last time I will talk about the Nvidia leak this way. There is a number of games that are present and there's a number of games that aren't present on the leak (want to check? THQ event had 6 games and not all 6 were on the leak) so we already know that the full list lacks quite a few names by default, why is that? because we don't know what's the criteria behind the entries, most likely those are linked to contractual obligations between Nvidia and the partners which means that one potential explanation for the absences might be that not all games are Nvidia partnered, it could be a completely different reason but we simply DON'T KNOW.

Does that mean that if a game is not there it doesn't exist/has been canned? No, it doesn't mean that because the list doesn't display all games to begin with so we can't be sure about why a game is not present in the list or why is it there (can you explain me Mario+Rabbids Uplay? I sure can't) so yeah, this doesn't mean Bloodborne is canned, is not real or whatever, it means the list is just partially aware of the industry content.

Also, once again, take leaks and rumors always with grains of salt and just remember them but try to not actively look for them day after day, if it becomes an obsession it won't be worthy, WAIT AND SEE, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, internal and public delays are a common thing lately and Sony in particular has been affected by this A LOT, so don't expect them to announce things again until they are 110% sure they can get that release date.

So yeah Shahem just wait and see, you just saw a glimpse of what's POTENTIALLY coming (as the deals can always change) so just wait until the time comes, Uncharted is already confirmed and we have a potential announcement pattern ready from the IRD, so yeah, let's see what's the dynamic in 2022.



Also, covid fucked up things a lot, which has been reported by industry people and journalists a shitload of times. I mean, according to the leak, GoW was suppose to release in june or whenever it was this year on PC.
By the InitialReleaseDate data from GOW Steam on Nvidia DB the IRD was July 2021 which makes sense but if you remember the delay for Ragnarok came in June so if Sony wants to do a cross-promotion to get a marketing arc for God of War it makes sense to delay the port that is directly linked to a sequel and just announce Uncharted which doesn't have a new entry in the horizon (which makes sense, yuraya)

Who was on the original guest list?
KSON onAIR.
A VTuber that some elements of the chinese fanbase have a problem with due to youtube's country categories for stats.

So PLAYISM are saying they had a tentative line-up which was released too early and upset some Chinese fans and someone on the Chinese SNS put up an apology which then pissed off the rest of the world and now they have to deal with a ton of angry people and trolls and assholes. Yikes. I think those tweets were about as much as they can do tbh. It's a shit storm at the moment, let's hope it dies down.

Their streams on youtube were being hammered with dislikes yesterday and it's a week until the show. lol.

Due to the constant Bloodborne doomposting, I have decided to cancel Bloodborne and in its place you're getting a PC port of Destruction All Stars, you're welcome.
We need to go further back! Instead of Bloodborne you're getting PS1 ESPN Extreme Games and Battle Arena Toshinden 1 ports, and you'll be happy about it!

😜

If they keep it up i'll make sure they get Chibi characters from Bloodborne, Uncharted and Persona in Garfield Kart and the cutscenes will be CANON! Chie and The Hunter talking about Lasagne to Nathan Drake for 5 minutes after every race.

I really need to stop both pre-ordering and buying new games unless they are on a deep sale for a while. Currently I have Deathloop, LiS 3, Carto, Ender Lillies, Omori, Eastward and Orcs Must Die 3 of finishable games to play.

Seeing that Geforce leaked thingy, Im unsure if I should continue with Demon's Souls and Returnal, because if I understood it correct, Sony plans to release them on PC, right?
At the pace of the games being released, just continue playing them on PS5. I don't see a reason not to.

Based on Sony's current pace of 1 game a year I wouldn't get your hopes hopes up. Unless something drastically changes.

EDIT: Not trying to bash, COVID ruined a lot of stuff

Nah, knowing some people will be boiling in their own piss knowing that PC users will be playing Bloodborne using trainers amuses me.

I'd never go online with a trainer turned on though, i'm not a total dick. I don't find it fun to go and ruin anyone else's game.
I wouldn't play a game with a forced online mode anyway probably as that kind of game wouldn't appeal to me in the first place i reckon.

I rarely play online or with online features enabled in these games anyway. I was the person in watchdogs that when i was invaded would just go and stand in the middle of the road or somewhere obvious or i'd just go about looking for the puzzle pieve or whatever collectable i was looking for. Poor invaders expecting a fun and exciting chase and there's me not giving a rat's ass. lol.

That's not exactly true though, i did do the hide in a store window with the mannequins thing a few times. That worked more than you'd imagine.

Firmly awaiting to see if Im receving a promo key for Kena on EGS otherwise I will buy it on PS5.

Honestly though, I should just get it on PS5, I will most likely forget I have it even if I get a EGS code for it. :p I stopped asking for codes for EGS exclusives because I kept forgetting I have games there.

Yeah, there's some games I wouldn't have enjoyed nearly enough, or at all without using a trainer.

Day's Gone, for example

Hey guys, I'm adding non-steam games for the first time and playing with the grid images/banner etc.
Is there a way to set an image for the "recent games" panel?

yes, after playing it'll appear, right click, manage, add image

go to steamgriddb and get an image from there, you'll want the old style steam ones

Does anyone have any knowledge are articles on why games like Deathloop or Souls, using P2P systems for online play have such terrible lag most of the time.

But then there are very mainstream fighting games using P2P which work almost perfectly. Is it reliant on developer knowledge of netcode within the game?

Is it a specific issue for these games that try to emulate the "invasion" system of joining someones in progress game?

Phew...... that Pfizer shot took me down a little. Pain in the arm, a lot of headaches.... but no superpowers... :(

He hustled everyone into believing he had his finger on the pulse of the indie market.
He was somewhat convincing at first... until Steam changed their privacy policy and it showed he had no idea how to adapt his model. I also think there is some degree of "inertia" with Patreons where it takes a lot for them to stop pledging.

Well, he conned the one guy that mattered and apparently is somewhat good at it since he still has a job at EGS :p

I find it funny how there is a lot of abandoned Steam stuff on Twitter. Maybe Valve just forget the passwords or something but I'm guessing that they wanted to sort of so what Sony and MS do. But it was just to much work. There was at a time a Steam Twitter account for different languages and in a way that could be useful but at the end of the day (unlike PSN, eShop, or Xbox Live) Steam is just one store and the only difference around the world is that some games in some regions are region locked at the request of the publisher (dev) other wise what's on sale in the UK is the same as what's on sale in Korea and Brazil. The discounts are the same (the currency value is different how ever)


Steam support has not used Twitter since 2017 and there was even a Steam
Hardware account that was made in 2017 and it only had one tweet that was about the Steam Controller and if you had issue to let them know for bug fixes and that was pretty much it.

I want to what kind of stats did upset the Chinese users?
Something that hurts papa CCP?

Sometimes it's just stupid that the Chinese netizens need to be political about everything
Youtube had Taiwan listed as a country in the viewer stats list and it was all that was needed for a bunch of people who were looking to start trouble anyway to kick up a fuss and drag a big crowd along with them. Only, the troublemakers used it as an excuse to go after the VTuber not Youtube itself. As you can see there's still people looking for any tiny reason to stir things up again even now a few months later.

It's actually already been nearly 1 year since this whole thing started, and it was even self inflicted by the chinese users (Taiwan being in the top of the statistics due to chinese users using VPNs to watch the streams).

Illbleed might be the most bizarre game I've played

The second to last sequence involves the following
  • You turn into a Cowboy Toy (obviously inspired by Woody from Toy Story)
    Your owner dies, and your sex doll girlfriend gets buried with him
    In trying to rescue her spirit, she gets taken to Toy Hell by Sonic the Hedgehog
    You meet a Buzz-Lightyear inspired character who says to go to Toy Hell, a toy has to be buried with their dead owner
    You get a new owner and then kill them with a laser gun so you end up in toy hell
    You kill Sonic
    You rescue your sex doll
Umm, ya. :frogreview:

Pretty funny tho! :face-with-tears-of-joy:

I've mostly stopped caring about, most things really. So bloodeborne doesn't bother me.
Deltarune though, that's the real shit.
