Any budget minded persons interested in getting into PC gaming take note of AMDs newest APUs. 2200G and 2400G ($100 and $160 respectively). A pretty capable PC can be had for console prices. https://www.techspot.com/article/1579-overclocking-guide-ryzen-3-2200g/ Most games 1080p between medium and very high settings with good performance. Sadly RAM prices are just absurd and Ryzen likes its RAM, faster is better (but the gains are small). A couple sticks of memory will probably be the most costly item.

Yeah. The FMA wasn’t great. No pacing, and too much crammed into the time they had, and it still only tells part of the story. The acting was hammy but I think that’s from trying to imitate anime acting which just doesn’t translate well. I mostly had it on as background noise but even then didn’t bother watching the very end.

Yeah I’m down with this. Never got to play it while the servers were up.

This is about to get Clockwork Orange real quick. Strap you down hold your eyes open and force you to play. Alternatively I know of a good screenshot LP of the original that does a great job of showing off everything.

@martinist When you go to bed, take a water bottle with you with ice water in it. You’ll thank me later if you do. Because ummm. Vomiting water is, well not good. Not good at all.

I’ll be honest I kinda skimmed the Gen 6 write up. I actually found 6 and 5 to be a bit of a trudge. I never even came close to finishing Black. In gen 6 (don’t recall which version I had) I did finish the story but I just couldn’t hardly care about any of it. Gen 7 I actually found to be extremely refreshing to the series. I don’t think I’d call it unambitious even though I agree Z moves are about just nuking Pokémon, I don’t know that it takes away from strategy though (well I suppose it unarguably does actually). Sometimes you get into random encounters that you just can’t be arsed with I appreciate it for that in a way. The island trials and lack of gyms though I think is nice. The formula isn’t really changed from the gym trials, but it feels different enough to put a fun new spin on it. I find Aloan forms fun as well, I just wish there were more of them. It’s a bit silly that only 18 (2% of all known Pokémon) evolved slightly differently due to location. I like Gen 7. The locations, the change from gyms to trials, the quality of life improvement in ride Pokémon. It’s good stuff. Now to the nitty gritty, back in the sprite based days it was an accomplishment to have every Pokémon possible as following you on the overworld, and done away with due to memory and whatever. Well, in the new world of 3D everything where all of the Pokémon have 3D models that can just as easily be overworld or battle.....where the fuck are my follow buddies?! sidenote; I’ve never played Gen 3 or the remakes. Back then I was “too cool” for Pokémon (god school is fucking bizarre). Luckily by Gen 4 I was basically an adult and had my own money to just buy what I wanted.

Bought it regrettably. My advice, don’t use the remastered soundtrack (they tried way too hard to jazz it up and added more instruments and notes) and the voice acting is...not great. Only a little bit in but Randi is very flat. I’m probably one of the few that won’t slate the graphics though. They’re simple and safe and different from the original 2D, but perfectly serviceable I didn’t realize it from the screenshots but the minimap is actually the original graphics. I figured it was just a comparison photo stuck in for press photos originally. On the other hand the shopkeepers dance has been fantastically preserved through the remastering. Enjoy this low quality gif. https://i.imgur.com/CqMWYJE.gifv edit, fuck me why can’t I figure out how to embed a fucking gif anymore?! Will BBcodes work?! I’m old and crotchety and miss vbulletin. https://i.imgur.com/CqMWYJE.gifv[/img] nope...don’t care. Off to play and drink.

About a week ago I googled it to check the release date and a CNN headline put a sour taste in my mouth. “Black Panther is for film what Barack Obama was for the presidency” I’ll see the movie eventually but that sort of writing/headline/comparison is just vile. Edit, also oddly the movie isn’t out until tomorrow in the US.

Man, know what would be cool. A disclaimer towards the level of canon of a particular piece of media.

I’m inclined to agree, just keeping my optimism in line.

Bloodborne 2 is a maybe I’d say. There is some speculation that Shadows Die Twice could be a Tenchu reboot of sorts.

Disney had copyright law changed on account of a mouse. They’ll do what they want same as they always have. And as already mentioned in the thread it’s highly unlikely that this exclusive contract is ironclad in EAs favor to where Disney couldn’t break it under certain parameters. Hell they could probably successfully break it just because of loot boxes and claim defamation of their intellectual property (gambling towards kids).

I’ll definitely jump on that shit. Those games were actually quite fun. I played a good portion of the original some years ago. 8-9 years I think? Still very playable of a platformer.

So, no ones mentioned it here, just saw on a stream of Celeste that Theo actually does have an Instagram, and it details some of his life prior to the game. In fact, the posts go back to May (I think) 2017.

@Shorty How kaput is your head gasket? https://www.amazon.com/Bars-HG-1-Blown-Gasket-Repair/dp/B003RGIWO0 Could be a cheap temporary fix. Key word is temporary. Follow the instructions (obviously) but it’s pretty simple, dump it in your radiator and it cycles through finds the leak(s) and flows through them and seals. If the gasket is far too gone though you’ll likely not have much luck. And regardless if it does work it’s not permanent. An actual metal/cork gasket isn’t permanent so...yeah. Worth a try maybe, just to keep the car mobile for emergency but still not in use.

Doom on switch might not be a proper indication you’re unable to use traditional dual stick controls, especially comparing to Metroid Prime. Metroid is a slower more methodical type of combat, and Doom is high speed high intensity twitch combat. Also (I only did portable mode) Doom on Switch was very hard for me to play compared to on PS4 with a more proper controller. Though I suspect on the Switch I would be able to play fine using the TV and a pro controller, so if you have used that method and still find it to be a no go, then you’re probably right.

Well I’ve heard that the Dutch traditionally use ice skates to get around in the winter anyways.

Put me in Dual Analogue camp. With some caveats, none of that look spring shit. That was probably the hardest bit to get to grips with on the GameCube for me. Motion controls worked but I’m just so over them really. I’m not opposed to them being an option for those that prefer but, I certainly don’t prefer.

Just pick a series and start. Near as I can tell it’s all just a big setting but multiple different series focusing on their own characters. Think Harry Potter vs Fantastic Beasts. Same setting different stories. You’re just jealous, I think... Nostalgia?

Wooooo rick flair! Also Belagio. With an E. Thanks Oceasn 11. I thinj. Also i read (on jindle) instead of audio book becauae i do it at work. Im private to a fault and fuck letting other people know thinks about be. Things about me. +* also I dont care to care tk bother to carry my earbuds with me. Wow that sentence is sure to be a chore to parae. Parae, parse! Fucjing autocorrect was readingy rk turn that last kne into anothee failure. Have fun in Vegas I guess. Injjow people that have gone and wnjoy it, but Ill nevergo. I dont do crowds and i dont gamble money.

Enjoyable series, I occasionally rewatch firefly, less often Serenity (it suffers from the time gap and movie format). A further series would be fun to watch but I don’t pine for it overall I’m quite alright with what was received. No plan to read any of it though, that’s not the medium I wish to experience it. At the same time though, fuck Fox. They needlessly killed (well I suppose it’s not truly killed anymore) a series that had a strong start and potential.

Searching whiskey (dunno even why i did) is a good way to find this thread. Almost inexplicably the posts are mostly mine and martinist. Anywho. Yeah man whiskey. And been watching Better Call Saul. Its. I dont know. Better than i expected. Better than Breaking Bad I thinj (but I also think BB was grade a shit writing after season like 2 ish. ) Ive been enjoying it though and fuck if i have any idea why. Also reading discworld books. Grand times.

At least you have public toilets up in Scotland, silver linings and all that. I don’t know man, I’ve seen Trainspotting.

Bumpitybump. Just saw this on PSstore, completely forgot it was happening, much less next Thursday. ......also forgot it was $40 :/ I love the game but dunno if I can justify it. I probably will...
