If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing

The best tutorials are ones that are fun to play both on your first time and subsequent playthroughs

Something like portal, hollow knight or hades

Okay, but slowing everybody down by five seconds doesn’t smooth anything at all. It just shifts the curve five seconds to the right

I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds

I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It’s an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution

Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don’t make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there’s a money sink somewhere

Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn’t a good sign

They’ll do anything but make a persona 6

With the new fantasy life game releasing, I’ve started playing through the original 3ds game

I was worried it might not hold up well to modern standards, but no, it’s even better than I remember

I was expecting to disagree with the list at some point, but I’m finding it increasingly hard to find a reason to

This game was one of the games that defined my childhood. I was so surprised when I found out it was getting a sequel, let alone that sequel actually being good

Concerned ape said he wouldn’t be updating SDV any more, or at least until haunted chocolatier was out, so I thought it’d be a good idea to dust off the old mod collection and start a new farm

BL3 was so mediocre for me I regretted spending 15 hours playing it, so yeah I doubt I’ll be forking over any amount of money for a BL4

a deep dive

20 minutes long

Not very deep then huh

Dear god…

I’ve been playing through Drayano’s Storm Silver, a rom hack of Soul Silver. It adds a bunch of pokemon and fixes the levelling curve while making it a little more difficult.

Best way to play IMO

Subnautica and Hollow Knight spring to mind

I feel like you shouldn’t release a date if the game isn’t in ready for release. After releasing the date, all that should come is polish and minor bug fixing

I second this. I’ve played it with three mates now and they all loved it

Make a big “uh oh” hole

I agree they’re partially at fault, but to deny the part the company played by creating artificial FOMO, sales, and gates is barbaric to say the least

It needs more regulation, I agree. Particularly for premium currencies (which thankfully the EU seems to be doing something about)

I had an argument with a guy who was in a shared friend’s discord server about this. He was adamant that, if somebody spent too much money on a game, then it was all their fault. Despite me going over several (clearly manipulative) tactics, all he said was that people who fell for these must be stupid and that they deserved it

Yeah later on he was kicked because of other (Similarly dickish) reasons

As much as I dislike the hero design of OW and UI clutter, the cartoon-esque art style was always something I respected it for

Graphics like that don’t age

Swapped to Linux last week. Currently dual booting. Over the coming months, I’m going to slowly transfer all my stuff over as well

It’s honestly insane. I zipped up a bunch of files (mainly emulation and modding) to total around a terabyte. I moved it to an external hd and then to Linux, and it only took about an hour to unpack it. I’ve never had something unpack so fast

For a smaller scale example, I had a ~2GB file that unzipped in about 10 seconds as well

Sure, it took me 15 minutes to scrounge around online trying to figure out why my .rar file wasn’t unzipping properly, but after that I saved all that time and then some

Swapped to Linux mint a week ago, and is it just me or does it unzip files like 20x faster

Don’t hate new assassin creed games for being woke

Hate them for being bad games, like the rest of us

This is long overdue

EU taking some big strides rn

If I put on the settings wilds needs to run 40fps+, then yes it absolutely looks worse

Wasn’t the last saints row game a really bad reboot?

That’s not what I was saying. I was criticising them releasing a game, charging full price for it, promising the game’s full features to come out later, then moving on to a sequel ~7 months later

Okay, but the first game didn’t even release with all its content

Don’t get me wrong, it was a good game, but we should really get a bit less used to buying unfinished games at AAA pricing. This is especially true if they’re going to move on to a sequel this quickly

Remnant 2. I’ve heard that remnant 1 is better, but never played it

I played about 15 hours with a friend and honestly found it to be a very annoying experience

The combat never felt satisfying, and reminded me a little too much of destiny 2. By this I mean that all the shots from your guns sounded and felt like you were roughly sneezing on the enemies, and the ui felt too “clean” for what was supposed to be a more gritty game

The layouts of the dungeons felt nonsensical, such as in that one British town setting, or absolutely mind numbingly boring, such as in the futuristic open desert one

After my time playing, it felt like I was making no story progress (besides the characters sometimes saying “wow where’s that one character we saw for all of ten minutes”), and it was never clear how I was supposed to progress. This is in stark contrast to dark souls, where this is an intended and relishable experience

These devs have my respect

MHW pc version is atrocious. I have 32gb ram and a 2070, runs at 50fps on lowest settings while looking like ass

World both ran better and looked better, it’s amazing how a company can backtrack on progress so easily

shifts eyes to 600gb on my external hdd

Haha yeah so right bro yeah haha

Now, I like a good romance here and there. Who doesn’t?

That being said, games like Sonic 06 are very good examples of why romance isn’t welcome in some places

Look, cyberpunk ended up (after some years) being a good game, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever trust them again
