    Tales of Arise

    I think DSWindows or whatever is keeping my prompts as Xbox. May try closing it out tomorrow and testing. Had to rush girlfriend to Urgent Care so interrupted my night of playing. Kind of inconsiderate of her tbh. At least I didn’t use a vacation day.

    Tales of Arise

    Yeah for sure, no doubt that is what I'll do also. Definitely the other ones had missable skits and stuff so you aren't remembering completely wrong. I just couldn't remember if Berseria changed it to be not as missable or if it was the previous one, blah blah

    Tales of Arise

    Was it Berseria or umm... now I can't remember the order, where you could buy the skits in post-game shop which fixed any of them being missable? I just relinked it b/c. Not sure he was trying to be definitive or just helpful to anyone new to the series. Hopefully it isn't bad info. But yeah, I...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Follow the White Rabbit was a thing from the 1st Matrix so it at least immediately felt like it belonged, to me.

    Tales of Arise

    I'm going in almost 100% blind. The only video / review / anything I've watched related to the game is the 8 Things To Get Started that Arekkz put out simply b/c I don't hate the guy and his videos are usually short and to the point. He also seemed to have edited the video to avoid any spoilers.

    Tales of Arise

    I dislike that everything is a web front end, if that is the way to describe it. For whatever reason I get broken links, very slow load times, and it just seems poorly implemented and a remnant of the past. Also dislike how things are organized when viewing game's store page. The links to...

    Tales of Arise

    Desktop or mobile? Personally I think they're both crap and feel very unresponsive and dated. More than that I was under the impression this was a pretty well agreed on stance and expected others to just agree and then I wouldn't have to come up with specific complaints :oops:

    Marketing an 8K console has to come from some out of touch team making decisions here. There are so many other ways to tout this refresh or whatever else you want to call it.

    Tales of Arise

    Can I just interject for one second and mention that it is 2021 and the desktop Steam application is fucking worthless. The Windows 10 app store may actually be better. Maybe not but it is neck and neck. Don't even start on the mobile app. At least it works most of the time. I'm afraid any...

    I know Steam controller reporting is wonky and most stuff will “support” a Dual Shock or Xbox one way or another, but I was going off this link before I bought today: https://steamcommunity.com/app/740130/discussions/0/3042732979948089765/ Was going to mention earlier when Vorph mentioned Denuvo.

    Went ahead and bought it on Steam. Should have a little time between everyone being sick and most work stuff being canceled due to Ida. Kind of enjoying the lull honestly.

    Loki

    The moon episode seemed like a better Dr. Who episode than actual Dr. Who for the last 5 years. The rest of Loki was just fine. Nothing more or less. It took me reading this thread to understand the blowback of his self-love interest and even then it doesn’t detract from the show much. My...

    Vacation Friends (2021)

    This vastly exceeded expectations based on the trailer, but was also disappointing because there are much better movies that follow this same formula. Had a good share of funny moments though. I have no idea who Lil Rel Howery is but we were both distracted and wondering if Kevin Hart just...

    Vigil: the Longest Night

    Yeah, I got that one really early and it felt overpowered to have it. The feather shooter one seems extremely weak compared. I'm guessing from the quest tracker and the couple with Red X it means there are missable quests. It is super bare bones though like you said.

    LTT did a video about the camera rig developed to do parts of the film. Haven't watched the movie yet but the video made me interested to see what was going on:

    Vigil: the Longest Night

    Kind of losing interest in this. It isn't bad but the dialogue has just taken me out. After one specific part you interact with two characters and their banter is just, "Fuck you!" "No, fuck you!" It is just bad. Maybe I'm being overly critical. It also has a distinctly "unity" engine feel...

    Oh for sure, it isn't surprising and makes perfect sense. It was just in all the commotion and excitement about putting it all together, didn't take that extra half a second to think about the power. Was all pretty funny.

    I did get a chance yesterday to test and make sure the planar worked without exploding and sending small blades everywhere. Turns out that having a window unit AC and the planar on the same breaker doesn't work out well. Blew the breaker about 50% of the time, was pretty funny. First test run...

    So, small shop update since nothing is finished yet and I keep finding stuff to distract me. Plus working 60 - 70 hours a week and doing hurricane Ida stuff now... but anyways. Never set up my DeWalt DW735 so decided to order a helical head for fun, because why not if I'm just being ridiculous...

    Rtings has a specific sound bar section (Soundbar Reviews: Best of 2021) they launched that may help you out if you haven't looked there yet. Some of the $500 range ones seem to be more centered around 5.1 and then you have some 2.1 with discrete satellites and a subwoofer in different setups...

    Did you dump TRU? It is almost hitting $0.50 at this point. I was sitting on all mine but mostly "lost" it due to the LP shifting towards ETH.

    Semi related question, maybe. At this point who can even tell… Looking past the pixel asset attached to the NFT address, and this whole conversation revolving around whether said pixel(s) can be copied, but not the address to verify mint and release, yada yada; Is there anything more uniquely...

    Vigil: the Longest Night

    Combat seems more similar to a Bloodstained than a Soulslike. Equipment and weapons have stats and other differences so I would say it is more RPGish than anything. Same with leveling and abilities, buying, selling. Upgrading and +1ing your stuff is soulsish but not unique to that game or genre...

    Man I just reinstalled Bloodstained. Guess I’ll do this one. There was another game released yesterday “Song of Iron” and while there’s a lot of praise for the one dude making a game alone there’s also a lot of reviews saying it is trash. *edit: Also, I've continued to trudge along in Grime and...

    No Man's Sky

    Was just asking a friend about the state of this two nights ago and he said what the thread says, just that it has come a long way and is actually pretty good. Seems to be the same $30 deal on Steam at the moment.

    For some reason the 1st thing that pops in my head as a movie / show with characters I hated, but a movie I enjoyed, is Very Bad Things. No idea how many years it has been since seeing that but I remember conversations in our group about how everyone in the movie was reprehensible. Then again I...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    ICE stuff is so hit or miss you almost wonder if it is a collection of people using a pseudonym. At the beginning he was rough, then got a little better around RotCG if I remember, but then just went back downhill. It is fun getting side stories in the universe but you gotta suffer through some...

    Hah, I can see that happening. I appreciate his channel and all his tests. Some of them are ridiculous and you’d never use a tool in the way he tests it but at least he tries to point out the absurdity of some of it. But sometimes I think people take that seriously and are like “Well I’m not...

    There are as many answers to that question as there are stars in the universe. Everyone has an opinion and a preference about what it best and way too many people are overly passionate about it.

    What did you just read?

    I think I'm going to start these tonight, thanks for the recommendation. If nothing else it maybe it'll get me back in to Charles Stross. Years ago I read the Singularity series and some of the Merchant, can't remember where I left off. Some of his umm... "hyper" sci fi was just insane stuff.

    Not necessarily. It is only a simulation or estimate. It is highly dependent on the trading and windows you set up and the ratios of things moving within them. Having said that it maybe isn't 100% accurate but it also isn't 100% crap. I mean "it depends" is a legit answer. You also have to...

    Rewatched The Martian last night. It wasn't nearly as good as I remembered. Over time book information and movie information got jumbled up in my head.
