PLOT IDEA...What if time traveling was possible. We invented it long ago except the technology and its existence was lost in time. It didn't run on computers or circuits but a different form of technology. It's not magic...but just an lost form of energy. Suddenly in the middle of a UN meeting with all world leaders...a rift opens. o:!!

#

Through this rift comes soldiers of a time long past. Technologically wise they look...almost pre-iron age. Yet one of their soldiers shows just how strong they are by destroying a car with ease. Instead of your usual "Destroy everything because why not" the UN building and the surrounding land are just...warped away. o: Including all the worlds leaders at attendence.

#

And in its place is a giant beautiful tree with flowers of all the colors of the rainbow and those never thought possible. The pedals slowly fall and spread through out the city and lands. Bringing in the end of everything we know and cherish. A sickness infecting everything and everyone in contact. Slowly turning them into a mysterious stone like substance.

#

And as the years past the stones break. Revealing not a human but some sort of machine or...Golem like thing? It's clearly not human anymore. They begin to scoure the lands but the thing is...they don't seem to want to hurt anyone.

#

Their actions are bizarre and rather frighteningly unknowable but they don't seem to pose an inherent risk. It's just now they're here. The survivors have to content with their existence.

#

I wanna think of them like those Japanese nature spirits with the funny faces c: that kind of design

#

These guys c: Kodamas

And I dunno what else because I didn't get that far into my nap

#

Did anyone else see that Seagate is making this new modern HD that is supposed to hold like 172 TB?

vernal gate
#

My main issue with mechanical drives of that size is that they tend to be "SMR", and not suitable for RAIDing.

#

Great for a security system though.

woven badge
#

-lip smack-

#

I'm not smart enough to computer talk with you

#

But they said something about 2D/3D technology I dunno

vernal gate
#

Probably meant SMR, I'd have to look at whatever they released. The problem with SMR is that writes are fast in a short burst, yet not sustainable long term.

-- Or, put another way if you wanted to rebuild an array where a drive dies, the question is how long it'd take to write back 172TB. {a really really long time}

o w o BUT I MEAN WHO NEEDS 172 TB of personal data? Lol

Hm hm

#

I see

vernal gate
#

Basically, it's as important to how much data you can store, of how long it'll take to repair a degraded array.

woven badge
#

Now if I installed this HD into my computer how many Furry Bytes can I store?

vernal gate
#

If it takes months, then the probability of another failure is very high. {while the array is degraded}

#

But but what if you had...2 HD? o:!! One to back up the other one lol I dunno

#

So

#

Not RAID Shadow legends?

vernal gate
#

Beyond that there's RAID5, where you can lose one disk (of multiple). RAID6, 2-disks.

#

RAID7, e.g, ZFS 'z3'.

open geyser
#

tbh I'm storing everything cold, the only time I say its pretty useful if u have big projects/libary like video editing

vernal gate

#

Trust those genetic codes get...LONG

vernal gate
#

Anyway, if you want a massive volume, a RAID array is the way to go, especially if you need protection against failures.

woven badge
#

I want massive POOOOWERR!!!

vernal gate
#

More disks grants more speed, there's also RAID 0 (striping), which can be mixed with other modes (like mirroring). Speed, redundancy, some mixture -- whatever you want.

#

I need my CPU being on par with Tyler Crews with power and strength

vernal gate
#

Either way, the problem with those large drives is write speeds, since when a drive fails and has to be replaced-- then you're in for a world of hurt potentially if that's not thought of upfront.

woven badge
#

Pffft~ I'm clearly a NPC noob. c: I have not thought of that upfront.

For you have the power of the Geek Squad at your very finger tips!!!

Most people don't. Heck, alot of NAS products, such as Western Digital, have sold "SMR" drives under the WD-RED {intended for NAS} name.

If it helps...I've been building computers with my pops since I was just a USB memory stick

Now I've grown into the PC tower that I am!! I HAVE not learned much of those younger years haha

vernal gate
#

Honestly, things keep changing too, though the basic ideas are the same.

#

In ye' old days, common knowledge was that hardware RAID controllers were the way to go.

woven badge
#

See I don't know the technical words

#

But we knew to have two hard drives in case of failure lol

vernal gate
#

Today, nobody does that anymore. It's all about filesystems that integrate RAID functionality, since doing it at the filesystem level lets you do things like integrity streaming. {know if files are intact, store hashes--}

#

We just...didn't know exactly the specifics of what we were doing

vernal gate

Everything went software based instead.

BUT WE FIXED COMPUTERS DARN IT

#

The amount of Windows 98/97s and Windows XP I've gone through

#

Yessir. Everything now and days revolves around some sort of software.

Your computer itself isn't strong enough? Just run the program through the cloud on a computer that IS strong enough

The requirements for running what exactly though? o:

woven badge
#

The fact that most of societies software can be ran on a mobile device is evident that computers don't need to get much stronger outside of data centers/professional reasons

vernal gate

Language models are to the scale that they require "hundreds" of gigabytes (or even terabytes) of video memory.

#

Either way, whenever you're talking at this scale, the problem is less that those models are closed source -- it's more that consumer hardware is simply not enough to run them.

anyone can confirm that 537.58 from nvidia is the (last) most stable version for ampere cards?

#

in avr. with d12 games I see ~3-5fps difference, biggest diff. from some users ~10fps - ...ofc there are some improvements too, but i only see some old games with 1-2fps - most ppl wouldn't care and for sure it depends on hardware/settings but i didn't even know that some ppl stopped at 537.58..
...well, I'm staying on my version (551.61) as long as it works and no a major update is needed (I would still be on the older version if I hadn't cleaned up my graphics drivers ~2months ago)

hearty schooner
#

I recommend u installing the new Nvidia app to get d-one driver update

#

app compatible with 2010 to 2024 Nvidia graphics cards

open geyser
#

I dont like the new all-in one app ^^

#

thats why I avoided the beta for the new interface back then

#

personally I would say its only worth it for users with new lovelace (RTX 40xx) cards - had no issues when my ampere were the most recent GPU (updated every time), but now i get some minor issues with artefacts (and I checked partly if it not caused by memory with e.g. memtest86) ...its caused by specific nvidia drivers (technically also a chromium issue)
...this is a general issue since they released last GTX series

#

but thx for the reminder

#

OMG I just checked the changelog, looks like I get finally a fix (another one promised, here we go again)

#

tbh idk if thats because I only see it now.... but buying nowdays new hardware is not only expensive, but u can also take so much perf. or even damage ur hardware just by getting the wrong drivers of manifacture... and I talk about basic setup, not the oc/uv or lets install random third-party apps for optimzation community

what i want to upgrade from.. lol

woven badge
#

Why and I mean WHY do you have so much fcking RAM for no reason?

#

You do not need an upgrade for simply playing games.

#

If you have no intention to be a streamer, video editor, server host, software engineer, anything like that you do not need an upgrade.

#

Any game you play should perform well. Any lag spikes are due to your ISP/modem or running waay too many unnecessary programs at once

#

I have a computer I have not upgraded since...I believe...2014? Somewhere around there

Still plays every game I can find perfectly fine.

Galaxy AI arrives on 2021 & 2022 Samsung Flagships on May 2024

Concerned devices:

  • Galaxy S21 Series
  • Galaxy Z Fold 3
  • Galaxy Z Flip 3
  • Galaxy S22 Series
  • Galaxy Z Fold 4
  • Galaxy Z Flip 4
  • Galaxy Tab S8 Series
#

There is, however, a catch.

Devices launched in 2021 (like the Galaxy S21) will only be entitled to two features.

The first is none other than Circle to Search which allows you to select an element on an image to research it.

Magic Rewrite is the second option that will be introduced on these models. It should help you change the style and tone of your messages via the Samsung keyboard.

#

For their part, smartphones launched in 2022 will benefit from the same Galaxy AI features as the Galaxy S23 FE.

A notable option will therefore be missing.

The S22 and others will in fact be deprived of Instant Slow-Mo.

This option allows you to add a slow motion effect to certain sequences of your videos already captured.

they're treating it like pgr

only actual thing it has over genshin is wall running

but its not like tof launch

nah i saw pgr ads in places

tof was skeleton team and barely any competition at the time to start

this is giant risky team

and a ton of stuff this year

i literally saw pgr ad yesterday in my webcomic reading app

the one im most hyped for is the least similar though

then 100k per day

prolly

something like zzz even if its a mess

wuwa's diff over genshin are literal downgrades in every way outside of wall running but meh

lament prairie
#

ive seen all that

including staying on the leak discords etc

#

the dev notes make some changes

#

but given how badly off the stuff was

#

small changes wont cut it

#

making echo farming 30x worse than genshin artifact grinding

#

and more required

#

then patching that so its only 4x more annoying

the changes to wuwa at best is like putting a band aid over a stab wound

tepid owl
#

yup

lament prairie
#

gi or ww you get ppl shouting at you and telling you to leave

#

its worse than bp/ngs in that regard even

#

and bp/ngs ppl only turned around 9 months after launch

#

when it was far too late to change anything

tepid owl
#

some stuff too behind the scenes i will literally go show issues to my contact directly at times

#

stuff gets fixed

lament prairie
#

overhype+stubbornness can kill games

tepid owl
#

yeah

magic wharf
tepid owl
magic wharf
#

is bp even coming to global after all the shit? fenrirkek

lament prairie
#

all of ags other games arent going great

#

and throne and liberty is the single worst mmo ive ever seen

#

and what they just put out beta of

tepid owl
#

shit was really annoying when i streamed the cbt and ppl kept telling me go play the stupid shit melee charater instead of the range stuff i wanted to play because parry bs is needed and its poorly desgined

lament prairie
#

bp was delayed for global in part due to it

lament prairie
#

isnt helpful

#

balance issues havent really been talked about at all

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

char balance is all over the place even for a gacha

#

but ppl talk about stupid stuff like ui and font

tepid owl
#

meanwhile most hyped character for wuwa is a rectifier user

lament prairie
#

meaning this kinda stuff doesnt get fixed in time

tepid owl
#

the character the ppl want

#

is a ranged unit

#

that has the same problems as the guns

lament prairie
#

||dark rover||

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

the initial cast is getting like no buzz

#

compared to other gachas

#

and theres also been no outfit uh... unintended reveals lets say

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

so they might not even be doing any

#

gi/hsr really doesnnt

magic wharf
#

like, what did you expect

lament prairie
#

ppl go oh they can improve chars

#

and im like

#

yeah they can add new ones 6+ months later after all these banners are done

#

that wont help

tepid owl
#

but yeah lot of ppl gonna pull the second character banner waifu character

lament prairie
#

thats far too late

#

with the like 20 games coming out this year

tepid owl
#

and just see how ass it is to play rectifiers cuz content is so badly desgined for ranged

lament prairie
#

it does have some good stuff to it but cutting through the signal and noise to whats actually there

tepid owl
#

like why even make 2/5 of ur classes ranged

lament prairie
#

instead of what people are just overhyping etc about

#

is a pain

tepid owl
#

if u ain't gonna design shit with them

lament prairie
#

like im not as pessimistic as reinx but

#

if launch goes badly i dont see it recovering

#

the market conditions are just way too different

tepid owl
#

to be fair i heard pgr launch was a disaster

lament prairie
#

launch might still go well

tepid owl
#

but they fixed it

lament prairie
#

it cant survive off pgr numbers

#

pgr had like 0 competition too

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

theres an insane amount of stuff out this year

tepid owl
#

tbh they need it to flop but in a way where they can still actually scrap shit and fix it

lament prairie
#

including hoyo's biggest one same week potentially

lament prairie
#

they went for a giant team

#

there was a whole firing scandal a while back

#

it looks like they're pressured to rush and make a return

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

with the localizer stuff

lament prairie
tepid owl
#

i feel really really bad for the localizers for wuwa

lament prairie
#

and i was like geez i know twice that amount

tepid owl
#

70 hour time crunch work weeks oof

lament prairie
#

tbf these games blur into eachother

#

and ww is no exception

#

if we're talking about how ads will go

#

like say what you will about initial tof it being mmo, sci fi, char customize etc stands out

tepid owl
#

tbh i wonder though how many times stuff like what happened to trails in the sky SC's translator situation has happened in the industry but gets ignored

lament prairie
#

and again that was 0 competition pretty much

#

if you have like 12 other games pumping out ads

#

that look similar

tepid owl
#

though that shit was so scuffed where that translator literally almost took his own life

lament prairie
#

and also there's zzz which if it goes hsr ad amount

#

will drown out the airwaves from beta 3 in a week til launch

lament prairie
#

if they make a mistake like mislabeling the pre reg rewards again

#

post launch

#

ppl will flip out

#

if they said 200 pulls instead of 20

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

instead of just typo'ing a ton elsewhere and on stuff that doesnt matter as much but still main vids

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

its really annoying as i want it to do well

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

the more games like this the better

#

competition should encourage games to improve

#

and means you can flip between each for

#

constant new events story etc

#

but they keep making the same blunders but even worse

open geyser
#

huh wait, now I get the notification last year

lament prairie
tepid owl
lament prairie
#

bear in mind this was just over a month before launch

#

that is not enough time to hire and organize people

#

and the beta stuff was fully machine translated and had wrong descriptions

woven badge
#

BRRRRUH Has anyone noticed netflix released some prison reality tv show? Lol

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

they're doing an nda localizer beta atm

#

but this is so late

woven badge
#

Talk about the most dystopian show Netflix could release lmfao

tepid owl
#

there was a lot of placeholder stuff in there

lament prairie
#

you cant really have people testing stuff with so much wrong data

#

the beta was super weirdly stingy too

tepid owl
#

yup

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

well thats what im saying

#

they put it in the single worst release timing

#

even naitan wouldnt have been this bad

#

and again this isnt considering how crazy fans and cc's will go

#

we all saw how that went for tof

#

and that was back when they were more sane

tepid owl
#

also i heard something about cc program for hsr ppl getting stricter or something

#

in terms of needing more exclusivity

#

not quite sure but yeah i don't follow the stuff there

lament prairie
tepid owl
#

if anything i end up blocking a lot of hoyo shit to keep my recommendations clean

lament prairie
#

as otherwise they lose the limited slot leak beta etc access

tepid owl
#

yeah which is a huge blow

lament prairie
#

you have to cover hsr stuff without being negative

#

to retain it

#

but the implication on top of that

#

is very clear

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

ppl are vastly underestimating hoyo draw

tepid owl
#

^

#

hoyo can live off name alone they can release actual dogshit at this point

#

and ppl will buy it

lament prairie
#

hsr kinda doesnt have an open world as people have come to understand them

#

and very simplified combat

#

still does astronomically high numbers

tepid owl
#

tbh open worlds suck most of the time

magic wharf
tepid owl
#

they are generally poorly handled in most cases and amount to nothing more than being a ticked checkbox

magic wharf
#

also most open world games have completely pointless open world

tepid owl
#

yeah

lament prairie
magic wharf
#

so it's even good when company doesn't go for open world

lament prairie
#

i think the main issue might be the designs and story pacing though

#

those will put ppl off before even getting into balance or other big issues

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

blergh

#

i really want it to do well

tepid owl
#

shits super forced and actively gets in the way of any enjoyment

lament prairie
#

but kinda feels like bp where i was super hyped for it then the more and more i learned and closer the time got

tepid owl
#

same with the copying of genshin progression systems

#

y'all complain about joltville balls

#

but that stuff got nothing on character upgrading in those games

#

at least joltville crap could be completely ignored with 0 consequence

magic wharf
tepid owl
lament prairie
#

theres a part in the story of ww

#

where you get 15m of cutscene

#

walk 3 steps

tepid owl
#

yup

lament prairie
#

15m more cutscene

tepid owl
#

just like genshin

lament prairie
#

walk 3 more steps

#

nono

#

genshin is bad with pacing sometimes but

#

this is a whole different level

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

you have to remember paimon wasnt annoying at the start too

tepid owl
#

but yeah wuwa pacing was pretty bad too

lament prairie
#

and the 5* standards were super wanted

magic wharf
#

who cares, if cutscenes is good then it's good

lament prairie
#

theres too many qiqi's for ww

#

and even qiqi wasnt a qiqi in gi at launch

tepid owl
#

yup

tepid owl
lament prairie
tepid owl
#

at most only memorable part in wuwa story

#

was lighting engine breaking

lament prairie
#

ppl keep going oh theyll fix it later

#

and add to it later

#

but by then itd be too late

tepid owl
#

and making jinsi glow like the fucking sun

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

and yes ik tof story is a mess but its at least not omnipresent

tepid owl
#

u can also skip it if u want to

lament prairie
tepid owl
#

it won't get in the way of playing the game

lament prairie
#

ppl keep saying the scar bit makes up for the slow start

#

but it super doesnt

#

its just traditional saturday morning cartoon villain speech

tepid owl
#

nothing does man

lament prairie
#

that is clearly going to go nowhere

#

not gonna get into spoilers ofc

tepid owl
#

yup the shit also ends immediately and abruptly too

#

u end up arresting the guy in the end if i remember correctly and all is done

#

ends like its nothing

magic wharf
#

tof story is so bad i can't even remember a single good dialog or scene, well aside from that one when we climb tower of fantasy

tepid owl
#

and then u look at jinsi with the broken lighting engine

#

as she shines brighter than the fucking sun

#

at night time

lament prairie
#

i mean i saw a lot of bugs that break game but

#

idk how frequent they are

#

so ill be overly generous and assume most of those will be fixed

magic wharf
#

god i wish that tower of fantasy present in open world miacrying

tepid owl
#

funny thing too is wuwa pc client

#

isn't only pc client from kuro

#

with same bug

#

pgr has had same bug for almost a year

lament prairie
#

yeah ik i played pgr a lot

tepid owl
#

still no fix

lament prairie
#

but it has to do massively better than pgr did given scope

#

its not like tof where they start with small skeleton team

tepid owl
#

game literally breaks itself every time i boot it up

lament prairie
#

they are making a really risky move

#

and i hope it pays off

#

despite all the red flags

tepid owl
#

and not letting me change graphics settins until i get into game menu

#

is a major issue

#

like at least if its gonna break let me fix it

#

when i streamed wuwa at start on day 1 of cbt

#

shit was broken for my screen

#

for first 30ish mins

#

until it let me fix it

#

u can't see it cuz of how i have obs hook into game

#

but it looked like a disaster on my screen

#

though pgr is like that too every time i boot it up

lament prairie
#

yeah dont get me wrong im not saying the issues you had werent massive

magic wharf
lament prairie
#

im just being way too generous and assuming enough will be fixed etc

#

but even with that

#

there's fundamental issues on top

tepid owl
#

i have no hope my issue will get fixed

lament prairie
#

that they havent shown they'll address yet and could break the game

tepid owl
#

because pgr has had issue

#

for literally 10 months now

#

same issue

#

so i have no hope

#

sure diff game engine but like god damn

magic wharf
#

and the call me a doomposter annahmmbella

#

this is what real doomposting looks like annahmmbella

lament prairie
#

this is feedback on fixes

#

about people that want the game to work

#

and have played pgr a lot

#

you want to see actual people causing issues etc

#

you should see launch

#

it'll be tof's misinfo/harrasment spam launch x20 with how bad some of the big gi cc's have gotten since

#

there's only so many bp's, ngs's etc you can go through before you lose patience with people that will defend literally everything

tepid owl
#

yup

lament prairie
#

if you want a game to do well you kinda have to call stuff out occasionally

tepid owl
#

^

magic wharf
#

well, i remember a ton of clips with cheaters fucking up streamers in tof when it launched, it was not rly gi cc's problem shiroderp

lament prairie
#

it has to go super well at launch

tepid owl
#

with wuwa u can literally legitimately call it a genshin clone to the extreme degree

lament prairie
#

people get so annoyed at you if you say stuff needs to stand out more

#

''hey the char's could use a bit more color and variety''

#

''omg we're not painting the whole place rainbow''

#

ironically it has some pretty serious issues with brightness

#

the screen flashes way too much

tepid owl
#

at same time though if u just mindlessly copy stuff without taking in mind what made the original successful then oof

lament prairie
#

not the best example but a recent one

#

watch that in fullscreen

#

ofc my eyes are a bit more sensitive than most ppl's but even pgr didnt go that overboard with flashing

#

every 3 seconds

tepid owl
#

yeah its annoying

tepid owl
#

press echo skill for each of the jumping thing

lament prairie
tepid owl
#

spam leftclick to swap to other character

#

use that character's ult

lament prairie
#

oh i thought you meant like obs etc

tepid owl
#

then swap back for more leftclick

#

no

#

i was talking about player input

lament prairie
#

the combat is very strange

tepid owl
#

its like barely anything

#

from player

lament prairie
#

and not in a good way

#

the balance is all over the place

tepid owl
#

it looks like more is going on

lament prairie
#

there are some good parts to it

tepid owl
#

than it actually has

lament prairie
#

but if you dig down

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

there is a ridiculous amount they need to fix

#

before launch

#

so stuff like hiring localizers only last month is so dumb

tepid owl
#

the combat has serious issues that need fixing

lament prairie
#

talking about them gets you shouted at

#

or talking about char balance

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

its always omg itll all be 100% fixed before launch shh

tepid owl
lament prairie
#

bet those same ppl say the same thing 3 6 months later

#

''omg its still early''

tepid owl
#

that's why i was like they need at least another year

#

to actually make fixes

lament prairie
#

then later on ''why did noone call this stuff out''

#

like with bp/ngs

tepid owl
#

since the foundation is broken

#

and everything built on top needs another look through

lament prairie
#

i wouldnt say that long but launching the same time as literally the biggest similar game

#

from the largest studio

#

is insanity

tepid owl
#

tbh that won't matter

#

but yeah

#

even if they delayed a month

#

it won't change shit

#

the core issues are still there

#

and an extra month won't be enough time anyways

#

another excuse i've seen was that the cbt2 build was from december

#

but like if that's truly the case

#

why they only seriously ramping up now

#

why not also give a more recent build too

lament prairie
#

they were barely testing anything as is, more so if thats the case

#

especially with how stingy they were during it

#

usually you give pulls so people can test stuff

tepid owl
#

or just straight up give all the stuff needed

#

even hoyo gave ppl the shit they needed during their cbts in the past

lament prairie
#

they should have

#

but beta had payment options and rebates

tepid owl
#

so u didn't have to even go through the bs crap

lament prairie
#

so i think they're going greedy

tepid owl
#

yeah lol

#

and like u look at every tof cbt

#

for global

#

how many times have i had to pull for shit to test?

#

answer is none unless i wanted some weird pepega cope from standard banner that i didn't have

#

they just give u everything to test

#

how u expect ppl to test ur shit

lament prairie
#

anyhow i nap now still hope game goes well just i dont see it recovering if launch is messy and theres a few red flags even if some stuff i like

tepid owl
#

if u don't give them the stuff u want to test

#

actual clowns

lament prairie
#

ik you're way more pessimistic about it but ofc have also actually played it

#

someone poke me with pv link when its up for 4.0 im lazy

proud python
magic wharf
tepid owl
#

cuz like everything else was basically fucked and broken too

magic wharf
#

some companies do different cbt's for different stuff

tepid owl
#

yeah test missing content that doesn't have shit implemented

#

and slaps u with placeholder missing stuff

#

nice

magic wharf
#

cuz if you try to test everything in one go, you'll have cyberpunk 2077 on release

tepid owl
#

well the cbt2 was pretty pointless in of itself cuz it didn't really look like they wanted anything tested

magic wharf
#

that's just how it is for most games

#

it's more like ad than test

#

if that's the case, real test usually done inside company

#

by "professional" qa groups

#

talking about cyberpunk, one of those groups responsible for poor game release zekek

proud python
#

cyberpunk was super buggy but it lived up to its hype

magic wharf
#

you can even say that real cyberpunk release is when DLC came out

proud python
#

maybe we are talking about diffrent cyberpunks

magic wharf
#

game was literally downgraded on it's initial release

#

a lot of stuff was cut off, 80% perks wasn't working

#

cdpr is literally sold a half baked product with a promise to patch it later

#

same shit as nms did

tepid owl
magic wharf
#

also i don't like how they made some enemies in "fixed" version of the game evade everything except tech weapons

#

it ruined my revolvers only playthrough miacrying

magic wharf
tepid owl
#

its just what's been going on as a whole for a lot of the bigger games out there

magic wharf
#

when you don't have time or money to release finished product - just slap that live service shit on it and sell it like that zekek

tepid owl
#

yeah they be doing that shit too

#

or some cases slap even more bs on top to make experiance worse

magic wharf
#

quadruple A live service slop zekek

tepid owl
#

don't forget the ugly pepega woke shit they put in too

#

i still don't get why they have the stupid obsession with making ugly female characters with chracteristics that make them also partially look like men too

#

so it just looks like shit

#

and they be like yeah u gotta play as this

#

and look at it the entire time u play

magic wharf
#

dw, stellar blade will save us

tepid owl
inner pilot
magic wharf
#

they actually doing it with a lot of games

#

except bloodborne zekek
