I know a lot of people are looking forward to this game and in a way I hope they get a great game. They enjoy on the other hand. I hope this is a huge flop for rockstar.

Sorry I meant to say wasn’t marketed as a game in the series.

I guess you’re right cause it was more of a spinoff not really a sequel.

It’s more of an action horror vibe instead of a survival horror vibe.

I think that game suffers as it is not as good as the first one. But it was not a bad game, I guess. I think I just had high expectations. Maybe it would have been better if it was marketed as a sequel to PE1

I loved PE1, but had trouble getting into PE2.

For those who may not know, the game was made to be a sequel to a book with the same name.

My understanding is that the book was wildly famous in Japan, but don’t make a big international splash.

I once found a used English copy on Amazon for $200.

So, just pickup the ebook. I started to read it, but got busy with my wedding and never finished it. I need to give it another go.

I can believe it. I imagine a potential employer would be concerned about that especially if it’s a work from home thing.

It’s too bad really, because it’s entirely out of your control for the most part.

I do all my work from home (free lance), but I always use wired Ethernet to minimize potential problems.

I decided to pull the trigger on bg3 maybe today or next week.

Depends on if I have time to play today.

Yeah! I’m wanting that game.

I have about $15 in steam credit, so I’m thinking of just pulling the trigger even though I have other games I’m actively playing.

Same as consoles. Sell at a loss to increase game sales and earn more on the backend.

It just sounds too good to be true. So, no critics have claimed downsides to this?

So is this a huge breakthrough that’s going to be adopted by ai companies across the board? Or maybe there is some downside.

I don’t know much about running this on my own computer other than using ollama. Is that what you mean about running it on my own?

I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but if I understand you correctly, I think the same logic can be applied to using n OS of choice.

I still think it’s an issue of priority.

I think it’s a good metric to let people know that the machine can hold its own and will likely be the kind of specs that developers will target.

I don’t see any problem with that. The worlds’s lore could just be told through different sets of characters eyes.

I don’t even pay attention to game lore anyway. So as long as gameplay is good, I’m alright.

Thanks, I did give that a try and didn’t have much of an opinion of it. I’ll give it another try though.

Thanks for this list.

I played the Metroid game and I love that series.

I’m not sure I liked smt4 too much, but I’m not familiar with the others. I’ll check them out.

I got a 3dsxl about 6 months ago for some Pokémon action, now I need something new.

What are your game recommendations?

What good are those 3 games you want to play if they don’t work on the OS you want to use?

It’s just a matter of priority, about 8 years ago, I just made the decision to not play a game if it doesn’t work on Linux.

For uncharted work on this yet? It’s the main ps3 game I’m interested in trying.

This is still a stretch. Don’t consoles also have issues like this? What about the red ring Xbox 360s? Didn’t ps3 have issues with Skyrim saves becoming corrupt?

Before the steamdeck my gpu was an rx 740.

I never needed to tweak settings on a per game basis.

Just go into game options and hit auto detect or select a preset.

It’s really that easy.

None of those are things people have to deal with except in very rare circumstances. All the driers are basically handled by windows update or are already in the kernel.

You do not need to do anything with antivirus these days.

Windows 11 makes you sign into an account, so do the consoles.

Pairing a Bluetooth controller technically is something you need to do, but let’s be honest. Is it really challenging?

I don’t think there is really much fiddling these days. It’s probably about as much as setting up a console.

If you build your own, then sure that’s more work. But people can buy prebuilt, laptops, or handhelds.

Console gaming is so anti-consumer. Who would prefer to use a console if they are even the slightest bit savvy with a computer?

I would have bought this, but it seems to have some compatibility issues with Linux.

I also own these games for GameCube, so I figured it works just be better to play my backups.

That is basically a list of, does your work require your body of not.

But I basically agree with the list, at least for a few more years. I expect robotics to quickly get better and start replacing some of the jobs on the left of the list.

Ok

I’d like to have a mod where I could play through the game as the knight and use the bad system from the first game. Just as a way to play it again for fun.

I’d guess that every manager was trying to implement ai as much as they could and now that people have had time to figure out how to use it most effectively they are using it less.

The time is great. I have an extremely long flight coming up next week.

I planned to save willing until then, but I couldn’t resist.

If it was, we all would have heard about it. Everyone says they are the ffvii of blablabla.

I don’t know why they thought they could get away with these prices. I’ve never even heard of this game before.

If the total cost was $20 and the dlc was included, I’d consider it…maybe

The price is insane. No way I’m touching it until it’s about $50 cheaper. It doesn’t even have regional pricing for my country which makes it extra expensive by comparison.

I just defeated him. He was a bit difficult.

I don’t know I could have upgraded the needle already, so I defeated him with the base needle.

Then I looked up where to use the oil and found out I could have fought him with 3 needle upgrades 😂

I hardly ever use the tools. They are full for me most of the time.

I have played through Hollow Knight twice so I am pretty familiar with this gameplay style and I did just recently played through Hollow knight again before this game came out. I agree this game is difficult, but it’s not that difficult. Every boss has a pattern that can be learned after three or four tries.

I think shen megami tensi didn’t before them. Dragon quest might have, but I’m not sure about that one.

I wouldn’t mind checkpoints before the boss even if it’s not a bench and more of a “retry” option.

But the annoyance of run backs raises the stakes of the fight a bit. Like, “Please let me win this time so I don’t have to do another run back.”

But I was annoyed at a particular fight that started without warning and I had not really explored the new area yet, so I didn’t have a chance to find a closer bench.

Yeah! Check out the impossible port videos by modern vintage gamer.

It really shows how well games could run on older hardware if devs cared to optimize it.

With that being said, someone is porting Mario 64 to the gameboy advance by super optimizing it.
