Happenstance Posted September 15, 2022 Posted September 15, 2022 I need to take a look and see what kind of modding scene the Yakuza games have on PC these days.

Do you use many mods in general? I occasionally look into them, but always end up getting put off by the potential faff and then never bother. The only thing I persevered with was the Resi 4 HD Fan Project, as that was just too good to miss out on. It was relatively straightforward to install too. Most of the Yakuza mods I’ve seen are model swaps, like switching Kiryu with Haruka. I’m pretty sure someone fixed the Ono Michio costume in Yakuza 6 too, so you can always wear the proper one with a gigantic head. 1

Main ones I've used over the years have been for Skyrim, Star Trek Bridge Commander and the Persona 4 Golden last year. Oh and I did try a load of the realistic graphics mods on GTA V which were pretty impressive. 1
Aperson Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 It got overshadowed by the Nintendo Direct, the State of Play and the Tokyo Game Show all happening around the same time, so I'm just going to leave this here, Freedom Planet 2 recently came out on Steam. Of interest to @Jonnas but also to anyone who like Sonic games because this game has been getting glowing user reviews from those who've played it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/595500/Freedom_Planet_2/ There's currently a 10% discount on Steam. It isn't coming to Switch until next year though, or any other console for that matter. The game has been in development for 7 years. The guy who made Sonic Mania, Christian Whitehead, designed the engine behind this game and its probably the closest you're ever going to get to a Sonic Mania 2, even moreso than Origins. Its about more than twice the size of its predecessor with even going fast through it setting you back 9 hours or so. 1 1
Jonnas Posted September 18, 2022 Posted September 18, 2022 Thanks for reminding me about Freedom Planet 2! The game's looking crazy good, and I'm glad that seems to be, in fact, true! Sad thing is the terrible timing for me. I'm busy with a lot of stuff in life, in the middle of a couple other playthroughs, and it's also been pain to play anything on my PC lately (it takes forever to boot, among a bunch of other flaws). As such, I'm tempted to get this on Switch when that version comes out... Or maybe I should just get a better PC already. Regardless, I'll pick it up as soon as a good opportunity clears up. 1
Happenstance Posted September 30, 2022 Posted September 30, 2022 Anyone ever used Gamemaker to try and build a game? I'm in another one of my creative kicks in the mood for a project and was thinking about trying out Gamemaker through Steam.
Happenstance Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Looks like the Steam Deck has switched from preorders to Buy Now with shipping in 1-2 weeks.
Happenstance Posted October 7, 2022 Posted October 7, 2022 Official dock is now for sale as well so I got my order in for that.
Ike Posted November 26, 2022 Posted November 26, 2022 I know the site says 1 - 2 weeks, but does anyone know how long it is likely to take for the Steam Deck to arrive after ordering?

Mine arrived about 5-7 days after my pre-order was processed. So I'd imagine that you won't be waiting long 1

Not directly using Game Maker but I have been using something called GMEdit to code for Rivals of Aether for the Steam Workshop's modding.
martinist Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) I am also being sucked in by Vampire Survivor. Was recommended by a friend. At first I didn't think it was all that great but I went on one hell of a run in the Library. Was getting so good that the screen was flooded and i was only getting chicken or money from chests. Now I can't stop playing the damn game. Edited January 7, 2023 by martinist

Ike Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 The Steam Deck is on sale with 10% off to celebrate its 1 year anniversary.
Dcubed Posted April 2, 2023 Posted April 2, 2023 So... TLOU Part 1 on PC is a steaming trash-fire of a port. That's not cool. What's even more super not cool is Naughty Dog trying to throw Iron Galaxy under the bus when they only worked in a minor supporting role (the port was primarily done by Naughty Dog in-house, with Iron Galaxy providing some minor support work)... Fucking shameful behaviour all around. They rushed this out before it was ready because they wanted to cash in on the TV show's success. Don't drag poor Iron Galaxy through your mud!
martinist Posted July 15, 2023 Posted July 15, 2023 (edited) So i just upgarded my ram from 16 to 32 GB and repasted my CPU. I had a hell of a time getting in there though thanks to that black rock pro 4 i've got sitting on the CPU. Overhangs the ram so i had to rip that off of there before slotting them in. You ever try to reasemble that big freaking cooler in a closed case without taking out the monthrboard? Think i sweat half my body weight getting that thing back in. Thinking about switching to an AIO in the future. Much more space in the case after that. Edited July 15, 2023 by martinist rewording, spelling 1
martinist Posted July 16, 2023 Posted July 16, 2023 And a day after installing that ram my BIOS corrupts and i have to reinstall windows. I've lost practicly everything.
Happenstance Posted August 7, 2023 Posted August 7, 2023 Got caught up in the hype and bought Baldur's Gate 3. Really looking forward to playing it.
Dcubed Posted August 15, 2023 Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) So I just found out that this is a thing... https://www.acer.com/gb-en/spatiallabshttps://store.acer.com/en-gb/acer-ds1-monitor-asv15-1b-blue-ff-r1wek-001 Acer have just recently brought out a range of autostereoscopic PC displays and laptops, and it's actually available to buy commercially! It's not some sort of fancy prototype pie-in-the-sky concept device, it's a real thing that you can buy and use with your own Windows PC today! Oh baby! That's the good stuff! It's basically exactly like the New Nintendo 3DS screen, complete with eye tracking... except that it's a 4k display that can show S3D content in full 1080p resolution And in a shocking move, they're actually working with game developers to give games a proper stereoscopic 3D makeover. And this isn't just your typical PC gamer shite that I'm not interested in... because they've actually given the full S3D treatment to the likes of Octopath Traveller 1 & 2, actual good games that I would actually care about! If you know anything about me, you know that I fucking love stereoscopic 3D! Right now it costs a bomb, but I really hope it does well and we start seeing larger versions of the display, prices come down and more games get the S3D treatment. I'm really happy to see someone push autostereoscopic 3D tech once again, I've missed it so much with the Switch. Acer does what Nintendon't! Edited August 15, 2023 by Dcubed 2 2
Glen-i Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 And here I was thinking you couldn't make Octopath Traveler look any better... I approve massively of this!

I… I bought it… (got it on a discount at least) I just tried it out… I just saw the greatest avocado I’ve ever seen in my life! This thing is the real deal! It works exactly as advertised! I cannot WAIT to play Octopath Traveller 1 & 2 on this thing!! (But it’ll have to wait until Saturday). God it’s SO fucking cool! I LOVE it! Edited September 21, 2023 by Dcubed
Dcubed Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!! It works just as well as I was hoping it would! Like a little diorama come to life Yeah, if you crave the 3D experience again; I massively reccommend this screen! I gotta try out some Virtual Boy and 3DS games on this thing... 2
Glen-i Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Look, I'm all for bigging up how awesome this is (Because it is), but it kinda defeats the point if you show it off with a 2D photo! I really don't need to play Octopath again, but it's so tempting!
