#

the post doesnt explain it well or at all,its for a match thats aleady been finished and the cheater has been banned,if it happens mid match the match is just negated entirely,nothing happens

#

this is a p good thing they are adding,since usually its not standard for games to compensate you for a unfair loss even after the cheater has been banned

slim thorn
#

oh it's retroactively applied to all past matches with the cheater

bronze abyss
#

mhm

slim thorn
#

neat

bronze abyss
#

wish other games did it since valorant in a way benefits the least out of it just cuz of how good the anti cheat is to begin with,i think i only seen 1 match get terminated myself and cheating hasnt ever been an issue in the community

Hi

#

Oh Professor Layton games are not coming on Steam

arctic fern
#

i love the story of the layton games, i hated the increasingly tedious puzzles in each game tho. a few puzzles are fine, but i jsut got bored of them

#

yes i know they're puzle games

dire gate
#

Hopefully this one has better puzzles than the last one

gaunt marten
#

I play Professor Layton for the puzzles and would like it with less story

slim thorn
#

I should probably try Layton again, I remember enjoying the tiny bit of Curious Village I tried but I can't even remember what prevented me from finishing it

#

not being on Steam is probably why I haven't gotten to it

dire gate
#

Layton series was traditionally Nintendo exclusive, except the last one which also released on phones

#

Oh and some old games got mobile remake too

#

But except for mobile releases, it is basically a Nintendo franchise

I low-key prefere the PS1 graphic for some of those textures, but also, the game actually working with modern hardware without having to resort to black magic and goat sacrifices will be a huge plus.

I was running low on goats

Hopefully it'll have an option to toggle between original and remaster like most modern remasters do

random steppe

That would be nice

Ghost of Yotei having a female protagonist is pretty cool

Changing protagonist is a good way to avoid the contrivance of having the mc forget everything they can do between games

lol fair enough

ah wow, I've never seen that consistent a negative score

dire gate
#

You die early like Concord, or you live long enough and become Overwatch 2 /j

light gate
#

Overwatch 2 shouldn’t exist.

#

Shoulda been a spinoff or gamemode.

bronze abyss
# bitter stream oh dear, what have they done now lol?

Consistently fucking up tank balance,a couple OP supports that yet to be properly nerfed(and play like dps more like not support),some are still salty bout the pve,and some are arguing bout bringing back 6v6 which is like hell nah leave that shit out the game fshy

#

All of those add up enough that the game will pretty much permanently be in this spot no matter they do something or not

light gate
#

Wasn’t the entire point of Overwatch to 6v6?

bronze abyss
#

Overwatch 1 yes but not 2

light gate
#

Well no wonder the fandom is pissed.

bronze abyss
#

6v6 is majorly problematic and leads to extremely bad metas

light gate
#

Just make it a game mode.

bronze abyss
light gate
#

Like this is Blizzard mostly shooting themselves in the foot.

#

What are they trying to even accomplish? Overwatch 2 on the phones?

#

Cuz PvE makes sense in that regard.

bronze abyss
#

Overwatch 1 but with 2 for extra attention cuz its a “new game”

#

And it worked,it revived the game surprisingly enough

light gate
#

Not that I liked Overwatch 1 tbh

#

Games were super toxic, and often got kicked for ‘not using the right character’.

#

Also tended to crash randomly and drop me out of sessions.

dire gate
light gate
#

Yeah, that is a toxicity community issue.

bronze abyss
#

The only way to play ow is to mute txt and voice chat unless youre also gonna participate in the toxicity

light gate
#

Yeah and at that point, would rather play anything else lol.

visual hill
#

6v6 just feels too hectic when you look at it

#

it's like 16v16 in TF2 or CS

#

(having a lot of VFX will do that...)

light gate

Its probably hectic because of the map design.

I played console its not

#

Controller id say is sometimes even better for building since you dont have to compensate for drift or lack of mousepad space

light gate
#

Well I’m free to disagree because I keep mixing up the inputs and the aiming can feel imprecise.

#

Lol, I have the opposite problem with the mouse.

bronze abyss

Well that stuff thats stuff is fixable with effort and playtime

#

Hmm, I'm curious if Ubisoft will release AC:Shadows in Japan or exclude Japan

astral steeple
#

OK now this is neat

#

More games need to do this

little badger
astral steeple
#

Honestly

#

I love all the maps from 3 but I prefer the weapons and physics and gameplay and engine from reach overall way more

#

Like all of 3s maps but inside reach as dlc would have been the best halo game ever

arctic fern
#

good news! MCC has that

astral steeple
#

I thought mcc straight up used the original engines

light gate
#

It does, idk what Meganought means.

#

H3 is still H3 in MCC.

arctic fern
#

oh i thought the maps were ported to other games tho

astral steeple
#

Nah

light gate
#

Everything is fragmented.

astral steeple
#

However

#

There was a dlc disc that let you play a couple maps from 1 and 2 but in reach itself

#

Never 3 though

light gate
#

Halo 3 still plays well though.

astral steeple
#

The combat evolved anniversary edition disc

light gate
#

Hilariously enough, I finished playing it yesterday.

#

Or replaying it…

#

(I played H3 too much in the Og 360)

#

But yeah, MCC is fragmented. Each game has its own style and configurations, they aren’t all running on the same engine.

#

H1 is running the original engine from the anniversary stuff, H2 is running the anniversary H2 release too, H3 is OG, Reach is OG, and H4 is OG.

little badger
light gate
#

Not all can do that

#

Some are just OG

#

Also interesting that Halo 5 is still missing

astral steeple
#

Halo 5 is super underrated

#

I prefer it way more than infinite

#

The multiplayer that is

#

Haven't played the campaigns at all

#

For most of them

river veldt
#

i played a tiny bit (2 minutes) of Halo 3 with @sour hill the other day and it was fun i played as the Arbiter which was exciting cause we had only played Combat Evolved and for some reason there's 2 Master Chiefs in that multiplayer campaign rdsnrk

slim thorn
#

I only play the campaigns and 5 is one of my favorites because it does so many unique things with the movement and squadmates that 1-4 don't

static bluff
#

The campaign for halo infinite was very fun

slim thorn
#

Infinite is the only campaign that bored me

static bluff
slim thorn
#

but that's probably because it's so similar to certain parts of past campaigns, and so repetitive; it'd likely be much better for someone who hadn't replayed 1-5 as many times as I did

static bluff
#

That makes sense. I played Halo 1, 2, and infinite

slim thorn
#

oh yeah so you never experienced the brute encounters in 3, that would make infinite look way better

#

another example is that the grappling hook was nice, compared to 1-3, but coming off of 5's movement it felt downright pitiful

#

it was also disappointing on the story side that infinite basically threw out the cliffhanger 5 ended on for a sort of soft reboot that mostly repeated things we'd already seen in 1-5's stories

sour hill
#

Halo is extremely nostalgic for me and I like playing them, but tbh they're not the most exciting games mechanically

quiet swift
slim thorn
#

I'm curious what counts as "mechanically exciting" in a shooter these days

#

personally I've played very few shooters since the genre got overrun with multiplayer, I think just the two modern Dooms

gaunt marten
#

Classic doom is mechanically exciting

#

Highly strategic with a focus on positioning and weapon choices

minor plover
#

this is why playing through Whispers of Satan cold starts every once in a while is one of my go-to gaming activities

dire gate
#

Can Ratchet & Clank count as shooter

minor plover
#

one of the later levels, you get weapons in this order:
SSG, berserk, shotgun, plasma, rockets, chaingun, BFG . That late chaingun makes me appreciate it so much more.

gaunt marten
#

Sure! It's not mechanically exciting as a shooter though

slim thorn
gaunt marten
slim thorn
#

I did try Chippy and liked what I played of it but have had no desire to go back to it. I think "pure" shooters just don't hold my interest any more.

wind stump
gaunt marten
#

Halo doesn't go as far as classic Doom does in the focus on positioning, since it has an unfortunate third axis.

little badger
dire gate
#

You linked two Star Wars post

slim thorn
#

the tradeoff is that vertical cover and grenade arcs become a thing

#

so I'm not sure I'd agree with positioning being less of a thing

#

especially on the higher difficulties positioning is almost everything

little badger
gaunt marten
#

I did not play Halo on higher difficulties, so I can't really compare them

slim thorn
#

tbf I never played the classic Dooms, on any difficulty

dire gate
#

I still wonder if Ubisoft will release AC Shadows in Japan

gaunt marten
#

I think Doom 2 is a game you should play, even if you do not enjoy it.

little badger
gaunt marten
#

We're talking about the focus on positioning and weapon choice.

#

Any game can be difficult. Not every game can be difficult in an interesting way

little badger
#

Oh right.

slim thorn
#

a big reason why I played the modern Dooms is that they looked difficult in an interesting and different way

#

in Doom the enemy projectiles are mostly slow enough to sidestep, so the combat flow is one of constant motion and constant snap judgements about which directions to attack and move in to keep the right balance of you dealing damage and their damage not reaching you before you can kill them

#

in Halo projectiles are faster, MC and enemies die faster, melee less powerful, so (on a sufficiently high difficulty) the focus is on approaching each room carefully and positioning yourself so you're dealing enough damage to kill an enemy without being in too many enemy lines of fire at the same time

#

Doom isn't the kind of game where you'd use a grenade to force an enemy to move out of cover, but Halo is

little badger
#

In halo The AOE of the plasma grenades was big even behind cover.

gaunt marten
#

Oh

#

In classic doom the focus is not on positioning, but in positioning over time

#

You want to be in specific spots at specific times to manipulate enemies

slim thorn
#

true Halo Legendary players all have PTSD from dying to chains of uncollected grenade explosions, and always throw a grenade the moment they max out so they can pick up the next one

gaunt marten
#

What feels really good is getting enemies to infight with each other in just the right way so you can spare your precious ammo

little badger
#

On higher difficulties they will rush you more quickly forcing you to move

minor plover
#

when I played DooMII as a teen, I didn't really get it. I just sorta ran around shooting things. As an adult, I'm very deliberate about my movement, positioning, and especially repositioning in order to create better attack angles, infighting between enemies, etc

slim thorn
#

particularly the Keyes mission in Halo 1, where the Covenant cruiser is overrun with Flood, there are several encounters where on Legendary the smart move is to try and predict which enemy faction is winning and try to "help" the weaker side from a safe position so both sides are mostly dead by the time before you have to wade in

little badger
#

I like that on halo 1 you could just kill the hunters with the pistol quickly as it was OP rdsnrk

gaunt marten
#

Makes sense

#

In doom it's a core mechanic

slim thorn
#

which they pointedly fixed in 2 lol

little badger
#

I remember that rdlol

slim thorn
#

I always misjudge that if I switch between 1 and another

little badger
#

They buffed them a lot on infinite

river veldt
#

i replayed Doom 1 recently

#

the first three episodes i mean

gaunt marten
#

There's that one video essay that put my thoughts on classic doom very nicely

river veldt
#

it's way better than i rememebred

gaunt marten
#

Doom 1 has better level design. Doom 2 has better equipment and enemies.

river veldt
#

hmm

#

maybe

gaunt marten
#

Modded doom 2 levels have the best of both worlds

river veldt
#

i've always preferred Doom 2's levels

gaunt marten
#

Did you play Eviternity yet?

#
DoomWiki.org

Eviternity is a 32-level megawad for Doom II using MBF-compatible source ports, created by Joshua O'Sullivan (Dragonfly). It was released on December 10, 2018, the 25th anniversary of Doom's release, alongside the OTEX texture pack by Ola Björling (ukiro), which the WAD uses exclusively.

minor plover
river veldt
#

no not yet

#

i did make the mistake of installing 100,000 Revenants though

gaunt marten
#

Well Eviternity 2 is out so now is the time

gaunt marten
#

Revenants do not infight. I would not fight 100k revenants

minor plover
#

Doom 1's levels use the limited game elements really well. Doom 2 has a bunch of levels that are just kinda like "idk we built this big expanse of nonsense"

gaunt marten
#

Doom 2 has great levels and levels that are pretty boring. Doom 1's levels are all similar in quality

minor plover
#

but yeah, megawads that use those elements well are where it's at

river veldt
minor plover
#

there are like 3 total levels out of the 34 in WoS (not counting the ridiculous credits level) that I don't really enjoy. The rest are all solid to fantastic.

gaunt marten
#

Oh they changed the fuckers so they infight

river veldt
#

i tried running this on my Steam Deck and it almost melted but it was really funny

minor plover
#

suspiciously few tracking projectiles

slim thorn
#

speaking of the 3rd dimension, check out the Silent Cartographer level of Halo 1, the latter half where it's all Forerunner interiors is great at forcing you to account for verticality in how you approach every firefight, frequently you kill enemies or they kill you from above or below

gaunt marten
#

But verticality is the enemy

slim thorn
#

verticality is a tool

gaunt marten
#

Of the devil

slim thorn
#

if sticky grenades are wrong then I don't want to be right

gaunt marten
#

Sticky grenades are not verticality.

river veldt
#

they are if you throw them up or down

slim thorn
#

I mean one of the common tactics in that level is sneaking into the upper part of a room and getting easy grenade angles on not-yet-alert enemies you normally never get in the outdoor free-for-all firefights

gaunt marten
#

I am looking at a video of it

#

It strikes me that I won't appreciate it unless I actually play the game

#

I played like half of Halo 1 on a low difficulty before I stopped playing on my Xbox

slim thorn
#

which is fair, the lowest difficulty makes it pretty easy to just mow down all the enemies without thinking tactically (and that's fine, difficulty levels exist for a reason)

#

and a lot of this stuff is fun because of the decision making process it leads to, which a video usually can't fully capture

river veldt
#

i feel like i haven't really appreciated Halo 1's gunplay yet, i feel kind of sluggish and only being able to hold 2 weapons keeps throwing me off

gaunt marten
#

Good thing I paid uh

slim thorn
#

coming from Dooms that is entirely reasonable

gaunt marten
#

sixteen dollars to buy the Master Chief Collection on launch

#

And then proceeded to never play it

slim thorn
#

if you've ever played a cover shooter like Gears of War, trying to use those habits in Halo is probably a better starting point

river veldt
#

ive played 4 games of Black Ops 2 deathmatch does that count

astral steeple
#

They need to remaster gears 2 lol

slim thorn
#

probably not, PvP in most shooters including Halo is way more frantic and twitch-based than Halo PvE/campaign

river veldt
#

ough

slim thorn
#

which is much of the reason I'm bad at and don't enjoy PvP

#

now I want to play Halo again but I've got ten other games I "should" be playing instead

gaunt marten
#

Good idea

river veldt
#

i think i will play some Elden Ring today

wind stump
#

An important thing for better longevity is to get a controller with Hall effect analog sticks. It's a newer analog sensing method that lasts longer (less chance of stick drift) and is seemingly more accurate

PlayStation pro and anniversary Editions are now live for pre order

gaunt marten

A waiting room for preorders?

Why not just preorder?

little badger

They only have a certain amount of the anniversary and it’s to stop scalpers 1 per customer

gaunt marten

But a waiting room won't stop scalpers

#

Scalpers will just wait with multiple devices

If they wanted to stop scalpers they would take everyone's orders and then silently reject scalpers

sage iris
#

this game is the current best multiplayer fps game and no one can change my mind about that

#

I freaking love this game

little badger
#

Is the battepass a reasonable price

sage iris
#

oh yeah, this game has possibly one of the least predatory monetization strategies too

#

it's great all around. My only complaints are that the dev team has no idea how to balance the game in an interesting way

little badger
#

I’ve watched gameplay before it does look fun.

sage iris
#

you should play it, it's a ton of fun

#

it's extremely chaotic and exhilerating

little badger
#

I’ll probably play it one day

#

Do they ever do ltm’s?

bronze abyss
#

they do

little badger
sage iris
#

They did

#

But not much anymore

#

They used to have some incredible LTMs in s1/s2, but s3 only had "community events" which are pretty lame

#

you just have to reach some milestone as a community and they reward you a skin

#

S1/S2 special events were awesome though, they'd add custom game modes and reward you stuff for playing them

bronze abyss
#

the old west mode was still probably my fave

#

most fun i've had in the game,and also gave the best outfits

sage iris
#

that was pretty cool in hindsight, yeah. They also added that solo bank it LTM

#

bunny bash was pretty fun too

bronze abyss
#

s1 was so peak i miss it

sage iris

lowkey shame they removed the turret vegas variant from that solo bank it LTM

bronze abyss

from soundtrack to balance and gameplay it was the most fun

that was fucking insanity, but I loved it

a nuke was c4 placed on explosive arena carriables that could one shot nearly anyone

sage iris

this ain't COD chief

not just nearly anyone, it would one-shot entire TEAMS

I remember we were playing together with you and solar and we got one shotted from like 50m away by a heavy with a nuke

#

so dumb

bronze abyss

i wasnt sure if it could one shot heavy thats why i p much said nearly anyone

bronze abyss
sage iris

they were nerfed pretty early though yeah

and the rest of S1 was PEAK

like actually PEAK

little badger
#

What is the most op weapon right now

sage iris

still the best in the entire game

little badger
#

Or are the weapons all balanced at the moment

bronze abyss

they should make the soundtrack selectable by season in the settings or something id 100% be rockin season 1 all the time

bronze abyss

tbh I think it's good that they don't let you do that cuz then it would make it less special

bronze abyss

true but like im a nostalgia whore kinda

i would kill to have it back

problem is it wouldn't feel the same

bronze abyss

the balance just changes sporadically

anyway imma go speedrun work so I can get on faster

nerfed and then outright killed by a second nerf

for like no reason

still salty about that

they did sorta nerfbuff it though in S4, I wanna see how it feels now

Ah

it was a brutal damage nerf. And then later they reworked AOE damage in general to also do less

#

so it fucked up the CL-40 even harder

little badger

#

I know they are at TGS, I don't know on which presentation

sage iris

they bumped the damage back up to S2 levels (actually 7 points higher even) in S4, but lowered the shooting speed quite a lot

Might still be a lot better, I wanna try it

Is the TTK fast?

not as fast as valorant or cs

no i accidentally googled nn64 and it gave me that answer, but google had realised i'd typed the wrong thing, so it corrected for the actual search and even the AI did that. so i dont know why it was still getting nn64

the source was literally just "google"

@toxic seal I just saw that Ace Combat 7 is like 90% off, I was always considering buying it, but I heard that it's not universally loved by its fans; You're the "ace combat person" I know in this server, can you tell me some pros and cons about the game

toxic seal
#

Pro: Feels very Ace Combat, enjoyable story, fun super-planes, post-stall maneuvers very fun when you can pull them off.
Con: Story and missions don't feel long enough (it is thought that some of it was scrapped when development was delayed), tech tree progression probably the worst in the series, most DLC not even close to worth it, post-stall maneuvers difficult to actually initiate making high-difficulty playthroughs even more difficult as they are pretty much necessary to out-fly enemy aces.

#

Despite that cons list being longer I still recommend it, especially at the 90% off deal

little badger
toxic seal
#

Multiplayer is also awful but Ace Combat has never been about multiplayer and it's always been awful

dire gate
#

Yeah I don't think I'll ever play mp

#

I am slightly doubtful if my computer will run it fine, but 90% off is good enough that I can buy and keep it

#

Is the Season Pass worth it? The bundle with game+season pass+top gun thing is like 80% off too

little badger
dire gate
#

It's like a 10 years old pc

toxic seal
#

I'd say it's worth it if you're just now getting the game. It will make it feel like you're getting more of a game with more content from the get go. If you've had it since release, DLC has been released in such a slow drip feed at huge fractions of the original game price that long-time owners definitely feel more ripped off.

little badger
#

Ah right

toxic seal

It should play fine even on a 10 year old machine. I played it in 2019 on release with a 3rd gen Ryzen and GTX 1070Ti which was enough to max settings at 1440p 144Hz

now that "remaster" means something more like "a remake with fewer changes" rather than "redo the master recording/release build/etc process", it's kinda up to marketing which word to use when

can even combine them, like how the standard version of RE1 these days is a remaster of a remake

to me, it's still unbeaten on how good its movement is

#

classic Doom movement isn't bad but it has much more limited skill expression

#

I feel a big part of how satisfying a game's movement is, whether being skilled at it makes you move significantly faster

#

Tribes also has pretty interesting movement, with lots of verticality, it's less about doing crazy mouse movements and more about strategically using the terrain to land as smoothly as possible (and ski as fast as possible)

fair, what I've seen of Quake seems Doom-ish but twitchier which doesn't appeal to me, and the time I tried a Tribes game was kinda fun at first but ultimately "this is the tutorial before multiplayer" so it didn't hold my interest

second protip: leave a box on your farm where you can drop tools you don't plan to use (like you're not using your watering can or pick when you're fishing) so you have more inventory space

They have a very similar problem to what the old pachinko cutscenes had which is that they're CLEARLY using the data from the old game and the animations don't quite adapt too well to the higher fidelity visuals and they even have the janky weird lip syncing so it ends up looking like some weird Gmod animation

I was mid-air and grabbed the jumping piranha plant with yoshi's tongue. I got hit by one of the dinos which released the piranha plant but now he's no longer over his pipe lol

unreal idol
#

He fell into oblivion

#

I still don't like that crafting table prop though, or how instant the crafting feels, rather than having a cool effect to make it stand out more. It works fine in-game without any effects, but it feels too cheap in movie form.

wind stump
#

you can tell this was pitched off the back of the mario movie

green fulcrum
#

Nah, it's been in the works for over 10 years.

#

Long before the animated Mario movie.

#

Which is why I'm so baffled by how cheap everything looks, from the props to the set designs to the costumes.

#

Mario performed well, made a billion iirc.

#

And Arcane performed admirably too, even if it's a show.

slim thorn
#

there's a very big difference between being good and performing well

little badger
#

Yeah mario did good

slim thorn
#

I think we've had examples of all the combinations at this point

#

though in this particular case I'm expecting mediocre performance and low quality since all the fans of the game seem to agree it looks meh or worse

#

and that kind of unanimity usually is a factor in the box office, although of course it can't totally negate brand recognition

little badger
#

the borderlands movie should’ve been re done as they released it to streaming platforms and DVD very quickly.

#

I mean shit I might go see it just for the meme

#

I saw emoji movie in theater. We were the only ones there so we got to talk shit the whole time

slim thorn
#

yeah, that kind of thing is exactly why I expect non-awful financial performance

little badger
#

It will probably make it’s budget back and maybe a bit more

holy shit i just beat un squadron

that game is hard

Could have gotten more, but I am also trying to train my EML aim

#

Did you already finish the story?

dire gate
#

Yes I finished all 20 missions+3 SP missions

random steppe
#

Dude has all the cinematic timing

dire gate
#

I am somehow curious if that music always matches up the timing or if you have to be very lucky

#

I realized that mine will also line up perfectly when I heard the line from Count and the music timing, so I could fly right behind the bird

random steppe
#

It's set up so it lines up yeah

dire gate
#

I did pretty well with the mission and got S rank first try (although I played with the easiest difficulty)

#

2 missions I have major problem with were Cape Rainy and Dark Blue

#

...pretty obvious rdwut

gaunt marten
#

Worst class in the game, whirl, ends an encounter on turn one

#

This setup generates 9 mana, deal 9 damage to all, and kills whirl

bold sonnet

So like a self destruct

gaunt marten

Yeah

hmm

#

im not sure if this type of chat is allowed on manechat, maybe its best to go dms?

#

i've got it working on mupen64plus since im on linux and project64 doesnt run on linux

cinder hatch
#

I use windows

steep flax
#

it shouldnt matter that im on linux and your on windows imo, since the emulator should load the rom itself

cinder hatch
#

Can you show me how you done it since it worked for you?

steep flax
#

ill send you a dm

gaunt marten
#

This run has been the wildest run in a long time. Everyone in the team has era or can do formation reliably

gray flower
#

me: oh christmas is coming up, I should ask for one of those backbone mobile contro- oh god what is that price

#

literally why is this so expensive still, 8BitDo should make one of these I'd buy it

gaunt marten
#

I would just use a PS4 controller through bluetooth

gray flower
#

Yeah but I like having something that kinda makes the phone like a little game console

#

I use a lot of phone emulators

#

There is probably a cheaper option for this but the backbone is the one I see everywhere

#

Oh razer made one for mobile and it's only like $34 brand new on ebay

bold sonnet
#

It's very good I recommend Kishi

gaunt marten
#

But attaching the controllers to the phone doesn't make it look like a traditional console

bold sonnet
#

My old phone is now like this

#

Runs so many consoles from the past

#

And can cloud game current

toxic seal
#

Aww, it looks like a Switch had a little baby

visual hill
# bold sonnet

nice, I have a Gamesir X2s which works in a similar way, but pairs better with foldables

#

it looks like this, notice how it expands upwards instead of downwards like 90% of other controllers would do

#

it's way more comfortable this way

#

it's also small enough to fit in a pocket, so I can carry the phone in a pocket and the controller in another

visual hill

beautiful snes colourscheme

Ooo this is interesting never seen a foldable as handheld before

it's pretty great, I played Riptide GP Renegade during vacation with this

@dapper cedar yo! for Black Ops 3, have you used the T7 Patch before? I was considering re-installing and using it just to be safe, though I've heard Activision patched the RCE stuff? Any idea if that's the case?

dapper cedar
#

aye i run t7patch alongside the game always now

#

there's a way to set it up so it'll just launch alongside your game, once i'm on PC will send the details

bitter stream
#

oh that'd be lovely

#

i'll wait for your details, and get the game installed in the mean time

What a cool idea for a game! And your shops name taffyLOL

yeah it's been making the rounds on YouTube
people love the cardboard crack

#

I've seen some gameplay of that. 9PM is when the magic happens (or 8AM).

wind stump
#

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

#

I'm decently sure that a card like this is a 1 in 10k pull

hasty patio
#

That's the highest card I've seen on that low of a shop level.

wind stump
#

oh god damn it actually is the highest rarity of card

gaunt marten
#

Pretty sure this is just a digimon

i am tempted to sell it now, but it is also trending upwards in price

Frustrating to see this sort of automatic ad replace the nice game art.

bitter stream

well that sucks

imagine paying 700$ for a PS5 pro only to be advertised at starlightwheeze

fickle garnet
#

First they get rid of custom wallpapers, and now they get rid of the game art on the homepage. What's next, the ps5 gets rid of games?

#

The long foretold tale of ps5 has no games may come true after all

why do they taunt us like this

No I don't.

Well, in specific regions then.

gaunt marten

All of these can be turned off in all regions

light gate
#

I get Office 365 ads whenever I use Windows 11 every once in a while.

#

Hate that Oobe.

gaunt marten
#

That's true! Sometimes Home editions of windows do get ads that versions like enterprise or pro don't get.

light gate
#

Pro does get but allows you to turn them off after setup.

#

Thankfully…

#

And now that I think about it… doesn’t the Xbox also get ads on the dashboard?

#

Usually like a block or two.

#

Like idk, console ads are everywhere regardless lol.

gaunt marten
#

Ads should not be anywhere

light gate
#

Yeah, but companies refuse to listen and customers just eat it up.

gaunt marten
#

You should have to go to an underground ad dealer if you want to learn about new products

light gate
#

lol

#

“I got your McDonalds ads right here! Its the real deal!”

gaunt marten

Yeah
