@gaunt marten You know a lot about Boneraiser, what do the different characters do? Like what's the difference between the starter class and say Sinned Deamonologist?
dire gate
Wow LBR
gaunt marten
Uh
The starter class specializes in relics!
They get more of them
While the deamonologist specializes in demons!
Demons are raised by merging two third-level basic boners
To figure out what each class does, you just need to look at the screen for which you buy souls to upgrade that class
wind stump
Souka! Thank you!
Ahhh, and each hero has their own upgrades
No wonder they all felt samey, they're all unupgraded, lmao
gaunt marten
Yeah, you gotta collect souls to upgrade them. The souls are dropped by the same enemies that sometimes drop relics
In each game, grabbing a soul allows you to create a demon, a giant, a meldus minion, or other types of special minions
And after you're done, you can spend those souls to upgrade your character
You can hold up to nine out of the game at a time, and may also upgrade with gold if you have no souls
So with each session you may upgrade no more than 12 items in a hero's screen at once
wind stump
heee, the potato boy can manifest a pumpkin and blow up people
gaunt marten
That's 9 from souls and 3 from 3333 gold each
The bro summoner is great. I recommend the pink fire bros
Get two of them and you can merge them into a massive one

Not sure if this was posted before, but they released an alpha for the new Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader RPG, and some folks have put up their impressions already. Based on what I've heard from multiple videos, the performance needs work (as is to be expected, since it's an alpha) and the space combat could be sped up a bit, but the story-telling, atmosphere, ground combat, and general gameplay are all great.
It also seems to be fairly open-ended, as most CRPGs are, giving you lots of wiggle room to explore and gain experience, and also discover new territory. There's quests and a main quest, but it also feels somewhat like you building up an "empire" of sorts where you can recruit other allies and gain resources to keep going.
As for my own impressions judging by what I'm seeing so far, the game looks amazing graphically, the combat (ground and space) looks acceptable for me, and it looks fun to play overall. Definitely waiting on the full release for it, but it's gonna be an instant buy.

Is This Video's Title Misleading?
light gate
It's a theory, so yeah.
Basically with paraphrasing "Steam Deck is a handheld but runs PC games, so it might be outdated compared to a console"
river veldt
Lol what
light gate
Because "PC games don't focus onto one set of specific hardware, and games are usually not designed just for Steam Deck"
But "There are Steam Deck verified titles which help alleviate this, but don't always count on it."
So yeah, that's the gist of it.
slim thorn
craggy vine
I hate that video
dire gate
Well I kinda get the point
light gate
Yes, but its assuming that the device is already ancient because of the new hardware that's out.
And that's not how handhelds work at all, and if there is a demand or market share of it... there will be more support.
Just because a handheld can run PC games doesn't mean it'll be out of date once a year passes by, it'll be out of date once the company discontinues the model.
dire gate
Steam Deck imo was, is, and will be in an awkward position where it's basically an emulator which is also handheld
But the extremity of the video's idea is...yeah it's extreme
light gate
Ironically PC gaming wasn't like that.
It started with a simple question... "Can this PC run this game?"
dire gate
Steam deck has a very specific target audiences
I honestly think it doesn't really have competitors, it just depends on if Steam Deck itself is good or not
craggy vine
One thing I prefer pc gaming for is that you don't have to upgrade for ages. It can last longer than a console depending on what you play.
Like how my cpu is from 2014 and still plays games fairly well
rose rose
The PS4 is from 2013 and is only just beginning to fade out of full support
craggy vine
Okay maybe using 2013 pc hardware today would be a stretch
visual hill
top-tier 2013 PCs (i7-4770K + GTX 680 or 770) can still play recent AAA games, but you have to make a lot of compromises
craggy vine
Wait
I have an i7 4770
Is it 2013 and not 2014?
And at the start of this year I gamed with a quadro 4000, eqivilant of a gtx 480. Coming from very bad integrated graphics, it was great.
Recent AAA games on base PS4 have a lot of comprimises too to be fair. And cyberpunk never really ran on it.
craggy vine
Oh
I use a 2013 cpu in modern games!
It is no wonder why my sister's $1k laptop with an i5 outperforms mine
Except for the gpu. 2070 super wins over 1650
God my pc is so imbalanced
quiet swift
I had a 4770k and a 1070 and it ran stuff at 1080p just fine, and I'd had the stuff since... 2014 or 2015. But I had opportunity in jan 2021 to upgrade and I did so to be more future-proof. My 5600x and 3070 are doing just fine at 1440p

it's very easy, you only need to place 3 blue portals (can't place orange portals at that point)

You know, I'm starting to get a sudden weird thing where, I actually kinda want 60 fps over 30 fps and better graphics
Just feels that much better
I think what also helped me want that is when I realized Vsync was on in minecraft, turned it off, and then suddenly felt what 100s of fps feels like compared to 60
visual hill
I do recommend capping FPS if you disable V-Sync to reduce power consumption
you usually don't gain much from having more than double your monitor's refresh rate
rose rose
meanwhile I'm more than happy to sit at 40fps.
30 fps can feel a bit janky but 40 and I'm totally happy.

This doesn’t make it less wrong!
I wonder if there’s some sort of genre coalescing going on that resulted in this.
E.g. it saw that Mass Effect was (weakly) tagged as a space sim, but if it used that tag it could combine it with Elite Dangerous into a single genre entry
So the primary genres for mass effect got knocked off

in my case, until recently I had zero familiarity with RE before 4, so seeing what the originals originally looked like is part of the point

because RE4 severely lacked horror
Wtf are you on about those creatures you had to kill with the uhhhhh heat vision scope were terrifying

I mean sure but that doesn't mean the entire game was like that or that it didn't lack horror
by the time you get to those enemies you're already on the island, the least scary place in the entire game, literally just an action game shooting gallery

I was scared quite a few times by chainsaw man at the beginning
And that part where you're in the house with Luis (?) was pretty scary

I hate them
Iirc I had to look up how to kill them because I didn't have the heat vision scope

I wonder if they’ll still have what I find most disturbing in the game, the weird unexplained bag

I forgor that RE4 was ported to everything ever made
It's like Doom

I also hope they actually do more with the story now

There's a lot there to do with Leon and Ada as well as Krauser that the original game doesn't do at all
as well as a pretty good opportunity to go a bit deeper into Leon's not-yet-alcoholic but still trauma ridden mind
The original game didn't do much with the whole ''I'm turning into a plaga?'' thing, I hope they do it with the remake and they kinda tapped into that with RE3's opening about Jill having a nightmare where she turns into a zombie
because of course she would have that dream every night since the incident

Leon my baby boy
Have you seen those videos where someone animated RE4 characters dancing to jpop music

also fun fact Leon was meant to have a sick monster arm and monster powers originally

Now we know why Mario Kart 7, a 3DS game, received an update after about ten years. It turns out that Nintendo has been patching a RCE vulnerability in their first party 3DS, WiiU and Switch games which allows an attacker to send a payload to unmodified systems to install custom firmware.
Their first party games which have direct peer to peer multiplayer are the vulnerable titles.

good guy nintendo i guess? once they were aware of the issue, they fixed it

gaunt marten
good guy nintendo i guess? once they were aware of the issue, they fixed it
Nintendo is more than happy to fix those bugs because they directly cut into their profits (they allow people to install custom firmware and emulate)
rose rose
Of course in this case they allow someone to force random other people to install custom firmware
mossy flume
In this case it’s also a safety issue
rose rose
Which is definitely bad
mossy flume
Which is the key problem
Nintendo doesn’t usually go back that far for CFW holes, but in cases where it can be used for malicious purposes such as unknown people hacking the cameras and microphones remotely? Yeah, they’ll patch that.

I finished Serious Sam 2 a second time today, gotta appreciate the dual wielding for making it a lot more palatable

I mean, who would even care to do that to others on a 3DS in 2022/almost 2023? I would imagine the biggest concern to Nintendo is the potential to do easier piracy on the machine using the exploit

plenty of people would care to do that in 2022.

astral field
Traditional movie and television producers and directors do not respect other mediums. It's extremely blatant. Comic books got the same treatment back in the 90s and early 2000s. They get a little more respect now, because $$$, but you often see directors completely changing things without respect for the themes of the originals, see Superman.
fresh bane
The stigma that something isn't a legitimate form of art or hasn't reached it's peak unless it has a live action film needs to go the fuck away
Not only because it super takes away what makes that thing good in the first place in most cases but also because we have been repeatedly shown that cinema/tv directors not only do not understand the source material or the appeal of the source material, they actively do not care and actively shit on it most of the times
It's baffling that it just keeps happening every single time

At the end of the day, because they don't respect other mediums and don't consider them a legitimate form of art, they feel that their vision of something is more important than that of its original creators.
They feel justified in fucking with something because theirs is more valid, in their mind, and will be better appreciated by people who know what they're talking about with respect to art. It's monumentally entitled and stupid.
The reason it keeps happening, unfortunately, is that they make a lot of money doing it. There are millions of people that will just throw money at movies for... really no reason. I've pretty much stopped watching movies because of how pointless it all is and how little I want to support the industry.

I don't fucking understand why they keep making them it makes no sense to me
A while ago I was even hearing talks of a Devil May Cry tv show???
Devil May Cry, the franchise that is all about actually playing the game

my favourite movie (that isnt star wars) is My Neighbour Totoro and I can't see it working in any other form besides animation
fresh bane
I mean it has a cool story and all, I like it and I think it's good, but the point isn't the story it's the fact that you can do a bunch of cool shit, and in live action too? that would be horrible
river veldt
i think more video game adaptations should be animated
fresh bane
something like MGS I can see happening but even THEN, MGS has a very distinct and appealing gameplay that a lot of the feel would be lost in a tv or movie adaptation
like yeah hurr durr kojima just makes movies they're not games, yes it's a funny joke but it's not actually true
they are legitimately good games
Yes even MGS4
MGS4 is actually really really good

like Arcane or (and I'm biased about this) the Super Mario Movie look amzing because they're animated and it feels much more faithful to the source material than if it was live action

dire gate
"Is there any successful adaptation that has been made?"
"Resident evil"
"Oh ffs"
river veldt
Super Mario Bros (1993) is really bad but also has a weird sort of charm to it
does Dragonball Evolution have a charm or is it just straight up bad
river veldt
oh no
fresh bane
just bad
dire gate
Honestly, live action Super Mario isn't that bad

God, the last movie was such a failure I literally actually didn't hear ANYTHING about it
they released it and the world kept going like normal without acknowledging it at all
river veldt
ok if live action Super Mario wasn't based on Mario it would be a semi good scifi action comedy movie
