Thread: BREXIT |OT| A minister always pays his debts
Gotta be honest, I'm not exactly jumping for joy considering the shit show Labour is up against. It took high profile government resignations to get that two point lead, as well. Is this the sort of whack ass victory we're taking as a big seismic shift now? Christ alive. Yes, I think somebody more centrist with wider appeal would do better.

Thread: BREXIT |OT| A minister always pays his debts
Of course I want Labour to be anti Brexit - when an overwhelming majority of the Tories are pro Brexit and yet 48% of the Electorate voted it, I don't know why the party would align themselves against it. Labour wards were also far more likely to vote remain than Tory wards. Further, eight out of ten polled card-carrying Labour members oppose the party leadership's opposition to a second referendum on a Brexit deal, for instance. This begs the question - if Corbyn isn't serving the people in the wards who voted remain and he isn't serving the Labour members, who exactly is he bloody serving? Other than himself, and his Eastern-European stoked Euro-skepticism? You didn't ask for a name btw, but Dan Jarvis or Chuka Umunna would be good candidates as far as I'm concerned. It'd be great to see David Lammy on the front bench, too, but there's a long list of good people including many of the 52 front benchers Corbyn has seen resign in his tenure who'd be extremely useful in the current fight against the Tories. It's a bollocks sort of stat, by the way, but an amazing thing is that in a poll of a few thousand people on the streets of the UK last year YouGov listed key Labour figures and asked public if they recognized them, if they liked them. Every single Labour politician came out with a negative score, with more people saying they disliked them than liked them, but Corbyn was dead last with a -40% score. Dan Jarvis was -1%, btw. It does carry that the more well-known you are the less liked you are, but Corbyn and Miliband both had toxic scores, though since that poll was taken Miliband's fucking about as a celeb post-politics appears to have raised his stock with the general public a lot. Just dismissing this as "anti Corbyn nonsense" misses the point, I think. It's real, impactful stuff.

These people need to realize that as we're steered further and further into a disastrous Brexit without a 2nd ref or public vote on the deal and as the NHS and BBC are being gutted that they are absolutely complicit in what is happening, because Corbyn stand up to them even if he wants to. He's the wrong man at the wrong time, and in turn it has made the party as divided and as weak as the Tories. It's not going to necessarily be a very popular thing to say, but the party needs a different leader (and some policy alterations to follow that). Somebody a little more center left without the enormously divisive history/baggage/ammunition for the opposition Corbyn carries who holds up an actually staunch anti-Brexit stance would, I think, be able to pick up an enormous number of socially conscious middle-drifting anti Brexit Tory voters and quite possibly even get one or two hugely anti Brexit Tories to betray and cross the aisle. The problem is when you ask those drifting voters in the middle you need to win an election which they feel more uneasy about - Maybot's instability or Corbyn potentially being "Full Commie" (even if he patently is not), a lot of them say the latter, especially older voters. Blair was obviously a shit and did some terrible things - he's arguably a war criminal - but his center left, borderline 'soft tory' party got them over a decade in power which did an enormous amount of social good in Britain - it's just overshadowed by the war shame (rightly) and the fact that all that has now been undone by the Tories... and some genuinely dog shit decisions around things like rail and public transport. Anyway - even a party a bit more left of New Labour would've by now I think fully undermined the Tories and probably would've won May's snap election - but Corbyn is just too divisive to be realistically electable - and if he did get in it'd be by a hair, not with the majority you'd need to make sweeping changes. In this sense Corbyn is the definition of a pipe dream, because even if they gain momentum next election and get in, it's not going to be by enough to actually pass anything. I think the truly sad (and dangerous) thing is that Rees-Mogg is probably more electable than Corbyn when push comes to shove. In many ways he is the Tory Corbyn - the man who most represents the absolute furthest reaches of the party to the point of almost being a caricature - but the difference is all about those middle voters. While I think Mogg is a contemptible toff tit who doesn't have any idea about what normal people worry about or live through, he has what I would've called the Boris Factor, before everybody woke up to what Boris is - where an awful number of those middle-of-the-road voters think he's cute, bumbling, old fashioned, and therefore quite likable. Corbyn meanwhile just sets off mad alarm bells about reds under the bed for many of those same people.

Thread: Octopath Traveler Review Thread
If you did that you'd be limited to four of the eight stories, since when you do a character's story they have to be present in the playable party. Also, the game assumes you're going to be tackling all stories on and off a bit, so if you tried to do just four characters all the way through, the jumps are like - Level 5-10 for Chapter 1, Level 22-25 for Chapter 2, Level 28+ for Chapter 3... which means, broadly speaking, if you only did four and nothing else you'd probably find yourself under-leveled and have to do some grinding to get to the right place level wise to do those four's next chapters. Whereas if you do six or even eight chapter one stories, you'll then be more suitably leveled to take on chapter 2... but then you have to grind the four of the cast you use less often. Does that make sense? I feel like I've just gone cross-eyed.

You could definitely be more proactive but it's always going to be an issue. Your first character is in the party, though, so they will get mega powerful and tanky over time regardless of class. RE the grinding - I've been playing it a lot in bed and while watching TV for the grinding, so it'll be decent for that, yeah. If you set the cursor to remember in battle you can then obviously one-button most grindy random encounter battles after the first turn where you set attacks up to match enemy weaknesses.

The main character stories are honestly pretty short (45-90 minutes per chapter, several chapters per character) so long as you're the appropriate level, tbh. Grinding takes up a lot of time though, as there's no EXP share between characters who aren't in the current party and each character be present for their own story beats, when means inevitably you hit a situation where you need somebody to be level 25 for their Chapter 2 and you have to grind them up from Level 10 or whatever.

Thread: Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition |OT| Gone Gold
It's a balance concern as well, 12 new characters is a lot of even if they all share the same normals. It would've been cool if the dolls had ended up like Bowser Jr/The Koopalings in Smash - one character with multiple distinct skins, but ultimately all the same character - but they gave them all those unique specials and so that's not a doable thing now. It's perplexing to me the dolls aren't being used in Extra Battle though. Why always Shadaloo Soldiers? I feel like Decapre would be a great freebie bonus character at some point if they wanted to do it, though. I guess they wouldn't do it out of the blue so the next chance would be the next full AE-style relaunch of the game now.

Thread: Could Blue Point Games pull off a Final Fantasy VIII (8) Remake?
The problem with the PS1 FFs is that the original code/background renders/etc are lost to time. This is why the PS4/PC/Mobile ports of 7 and 9 are based off the PC version and emulated, and why while they can sharpen up the 3D models the backgrounds will never be higher resolution than 640x480. Basically, doing touch-up remasters of those games is very difficult. To do them you'd have to re-render every background from scratch, which would be an enormous amount of work.

Thread: Rumor: SFV Season 4 Cast Leaked
Capcom has given away quite a lot of free content in SF5 when you think about it - so I could believe that part of it, tbh. What I don't believe is that this season won't have a single SF2 rep - they are going to do Honda to reunite the original 12 world warriors. He's the last one now. And I just don't see the point in Q - he's just a Balrog (Boxer) clone/alike when it comes down to it, so they'd have to change him significantly... which is what it seems like G is gonna be, similar ideas executed in a very different fighter. This feels a lot like a decently educated guess, though. Sodom and Viper seem like likely inclusions and obvious choices - we know Sodom was in planning/development before even the vanilla game was released, and Viper is the only character of import who isn't playable who mysteriously has an all-new design in some character story modes - plus her mechanics just seem like they'd naturally lead to quite an interesting incarnation in SF5. Makoto is the highest ranking character from the popularity poll not yet in SF5. I feel like those three "fit", plus Honda - which'd leave space for two more.

The above is true, but I'd not be surprised to see the remake will probably go down the opposite path and double down on her death being a fated event that has to happen for the world to survive and so on and so forth. Certainly the rest of the compilation leans in on that, and while we know this game won't be canon to the compilation that series was built by a more similar crowd to this game, whereas I've a feeling (based on interview snippets etc) that the attitude to death in FF7 was probably more from Sakaguchi than anyone else, even if the idea a death was from Nomura.

Well, I mean, to be fair - as soon as they have private time she says he's not like the man she knew, and then goes as far as to say she's going to have him removed from captain and that he needs help, and she probably made the first move to initiate the first time they met and he rolled with it, one would think. The dialogue in bed is the biggest red flag of all we have prior to the reveal, though: "All these months I have ignored the signs, but I can't any more. The truth is, you are not the man I used to know." "Of course I am." "I'm not like the rest at Starfleet, blinded by your victories. You lied on those psych evaluations, and you did it so brilliantly that you fooled everyone. It's worse than I even thought. Your behavior is pathological." He only escapes all this because she then gets captured.

I think the funny thing about this episode is that it really turns matters around on Saru - he immediately feels like captain material, and it feels like a natural place for them to go that'd be 'new' - a non-human captain of the main protagonist ship. It depends, right? That slave-owner analogy is flawed because Lorca is, as has been demonstrated, . He's been trained, and from the looks of it is an expert in espionage and subterfuge, and even in things like resisting torture (we see an Agonizer scar on him early on, so he's clearly been in the booths before). From this we can assume he'd be better at controlling his impulses. Indeed, even Tilly is able to step up and do the reverse in becoming 'Captain' without getting rumbled (albeit briefly) and she's somebody with like a tenth of the resolve.

I think in pretty much all forms of genre fiction like this evil geniuses can do this sort of thing quite well, that's just sort of a given, but... We even see Burnham, against all her starfleet training, do the same in reverse anyway. The difference with her is we see her soul-searching in her private quarters. We don't really know if Lorca was furious or frustrated or seething at pretending to be goodie-goodie when he was in private, and he was certainly up to loads of non-Starfleet shit anyway, from us seeing him eating Kelpian in the prime universe to keeping a hostile lifeform aboard the ship and essentially torturing it, etc etc. The warning signs were there, and wasn't the entire point of Lethe, episode 6, to demonstrate that he was constantly riding the line? Somebody who knew the old Lorca was on to him and had pledged to take away his captaincy already, so I'd call it believable, honestly.

Well, he was a character with an evil alignment pretending to be good.

Thread: RTTP: Street Fighter V
It's a good game now. Regarding speed, it's pretty bloody quick on PC in terms of loading etc. Like, literally, it's about two seconds for me to go from a match back to training mode, then while in training it searches for a new match. PS4 load times are still pretty slow comparatively though, but still improved over vanilla. It's worth keeping in mind you can skip the VS screen animation by hammering start, which improves time-to-match quite a bit as well. RE colors - it's just they want you to play, and spend fight money. You can get colors through survival, but you can also buy them from the store with FM (not real cash), and you can also get colors from the loot box/gacha purchases, which also gives you consumable items to use to make survival easier. This stuff is all weird as it feels like something they'd use to squeeze money out of people, but since you can't spend real cash it's really just encouraging you to play more, complete the FM missions, etc.

We also nerded out about the idea for a CPS2 machine. One thing they seem keen to explore is actually working with the rights holders/publishers of the original products, too. Hopefully that comes through.

For what it's worth, the officially licensed conversation with Taber came about when I asked him if these consoles, like vinyl, need to begin driving software reissues/reprints. Iam8bit did SF2 recently with Capcom's blessing, but with carts becoming rare and expensive and batteries dying on many save driven games, like vinyl with music it may be time for iconic classics to be reissued. He said that'd require the rights holders, obviously, and that led to us talking about the idea of a licensed machine. It also linked in to a chat we had about CD based systems. Like, even if the hardware could support it for Saturn, Dreamcast or PS you'd need the bios... Which would need to be licensed, as that's software. This is why emulators for those machines online would never include the bios back in the day; it was how they'd keep it legal.

I mean, I love the idea, but contracts are rarely so flexible. Marvel also would surely want to avoid any confusion, and with Netflix now doing brand-new cinematic releases like Bright... well, is Bright a TV movie, or a movie? In terms of budget, cast, perception and marketing it's certainly a fully-fledged movie, right? So the line of what is a 'proper movie' is being blurred by the digital services... and what I'm saying is a Marvel Movie on Netflix would be broadly regarded as a Marvel Movie on Netflix, which would lead people to associate it directly with the MCU, and this is where the contracts seemingly get very restrictive. The MCU brand as a whole is obviously incredibly valuable to them and they want to keep that 'pure'.

Enormously uneven quality thanks to poor quality control and poor communication, mostly. They tend to make decent-quality sets in terms of presentation, and I think that's part of why they get away with it - a lot of VGM vinyl buyers are in it for the collection aspect only, and that's fine. The Last Guardian vinyl set shipped with some truly shameful problems with surface noise and stuff though, and it was a widespread problem. That's the sort of thing Data Discs recalled a whole release line of records for, but iam8bit just kept on trucking as if nothing had happened. That's why, mostly. It depends what you're after, basically.

Thread: Canto Bight (Star Wars) vs Stormbreaker (Infinity War)
Would be curious to see the two side-by-side, but the Canto sequence seems like it's a lot, lot longer. The big difference, though, is that the Canto sequence has no real pay-off in the end - there's no moment that comes directly from that sequence that makes it worthwhile, except for possibly the final scene before the credits. Stormbreaker has a few different key pay-offs that are enormously heroic - the arrival into Wakanda is one, obviously, but equally good is moody teen Groot finally 'waking up' and doing something significant, etc The thing is - and this was a realization that hit me like a lightning bolt the second time I saw IW - these big team-up movies aren't really anything. I think this is where Ultron failed, actually - it tried to have some greater themes and ideas and there was actually no room for it once you'd done the character moments of these heroes interacting and established the greater threat. IW isn't really about anything, it doesn't really have a theme - but I suppose the point is that it doesn't really need to, because there's all these ancillary movies whose themes feed into it - that's what makes it so successful. I don't even think not being about anything is even a criticism you can level at IW at this point, because it's not intended to be. I have no problem with it, fwiw - I loved Infinity War and saw it three times - it's just a thing about how these films are structured. I wonder if Avengers 4 will have more actual substance, given it's going to be juggling a much smaller cast, which theoretically should make some room.

I mean, in defense of this - Hulk is one massive impact, right? The attempt to take him down on Titan is the opposite of that - for one, Hulk is aiming to injure, they're aiming to subdue. For two, Hulk is a huge, singular force, whereas the attempt is more death by a thousand cuts, with five different heroes working together to just restrain him long enough for Mantis to put him under. It's apples and oranges, I think, as in that segment they don't hurt Thanos any more than Hulk does - they just briefly immobilize him and get close to getting the gauntlet off.

It's not helped by members of the cast or even people like Simon Pegg going around in the wake of TLJ saying "yeah, this wasn't the original plan, it was very different", obviously. People will be hung up on what could have been for years, and is not a phenomenon unique to the Star Wars fanbase. (IE I'm a bigger Doctor Who fan than Star Wars fan, and that fan base is terrible for that too to the point where show runners & cast members are briefed to not talk about what could've been or anything not nailed down as certain in interviews because it'll become gospel on a wiki somewhere). I think what-ifs are interesting from a creative standpoint (one day it'd be very nice to read in detail both George's treatment for 7-9 and JJ's original overarching plot for 8/9, for instance), but at a point people need to let go and accept the bloody stories we have.

Yeah, that's true, and fair. I just think Disney will let JJ do whatever he wants, though. Johnson has creative control over whatever he wants over on his own little Star Wars playground for his trilogy now, after all. I just think Lucas/Disney is big on giving over creative control within the scope of each individual project, that's all. I commend them for doing that, too, as I think if they were as constrained about that stuff as it appears Marvel Studios are TLJ probably would've been a very very different movie. With that said, I think JJ is too intelligent a storyteller to actually want to change Johnson's work - I think he will find a great way to bring it home in keeping with what TLJ establishes, and the less desirable segment of the fanbase can cry about it all they want.

To be honest, while I don't think they'll actually do it... is there really anything to stop them from changing Rey's background? Yeah, so Kylo says that they were nobodies and Rey believes him. So what? He might not know, he could be lying to fuck with & manipulate her - he's a dick. That's established. JJ can basically write what he wants, and he could totally revert to his Ep 9 original plan for Rey if he wants her to be a Kenobi or whatever. Nothing in TLJ sets that in stone, and if TLJ is anything it's a demonstration that you don't have to take everything from the previous movie as gospel. Like, what happened with Luke is not something you can change, but Rey's parentage is just a couple of lines and nothing firm at all.

Johnson completely tossed out JJ's ideas for 8 and he was perfectly happy to return for 9. I don't think you take on & make a franchise movie like this without knowing how much control you actually have when push comes to shove, which is why you get things like Trevorrow departing 9 or Wright leaving Ant-Man. I'm sure JJ will have just as much carte blanche to do what he wants as Johnson had on 8, even if it means retconning or going against bits of 8. I don't really care what the piss babies say though, so I hope (for instance) JJ finds a big role for Rose that's more than just Lando levels of involvement in ROTJ, etc.

I'm not campaigning for it, fwiw - so I don't need to give it up, as such, but I'm saying narratively if that's a path JJ wants to take they absolutely could take it, that's all. I will say that in the films there is a definitive tonal difference, though, where her being 'nobody' and from 'nowhere' in TFA is played more as an ooo spooky mystery, whereas in TLJ it's played straight as the truth. I think that's just also a difference in film makers too though, where JJ loves mysteries (those Lost instincts, ey) and Johnson likes to challenge expectations rather than provoke speculation. I do think Star Wars desperately needs to move away from being the story/saga of one family, though. As far as I'm concerned I hope 9 kills Ben and then we're rid of the whole Skywalker clan (and any connection to Obi-Wan, too) for whatever they choose to do next.

Thread: Octopath Traveler: Preview Thread
The guys behind I Am Setsuna sat opposite me in an interview once and enthused to me that it was going to be a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger. Like, the devs can think what they want, reality is a different thing. RE Octopath specifically - I'm about 25 hours in and I think it's pretty great, though one major thing is really dragging the game down for me, which is delivery of aspects of the story. It doesn't feel like FF6 at all, though - aesthetically it has similarities in its visual attitude/identity/delivery, but in real terms it doesn't play like it and the story is handled in a way that is in many ways the absolute antithesis of FF6's strongly-developed, closely intertwined ensemble. Even if you just take that quote from that interview about it being gameplay-descended from FF6 it's just... not, though. That doesn't mean it's bad either! But to be fair if you're going to evoke a game as classic as FF6 (and for Setsuna before this, Chrono Trigger) you'd better actually be on the money with the comparison at least in terms of design if not quality. The comparison seems flawed to me, but Octopath has a really interesting identity all of its own. If you're really gonna compare it to an FF systems-wise, btw, the closest is 10 by a country mile.

Thread: Octopath Traveler: Preview Thread
Oh yeah, it's a direct copy, but in pretty much every other sense I think it's a swing and a miss on the CT comparison front. Even combat, direct rip as it is, isn't anywhere near as good feeling. Lost Sphear is a better second attempt, though it's still a ways off. My point is really more to say: it doesn't really matter what a dev (or anyone else) says the influence is, it's what's there that matters. It can be a useful shortcut to help someone understand if you'd like a game, though. Mind you, Setsuna is a thousand times more like CT than Octopath is like FF6. Which brings me to... Whatever Jason's response was and whatever you make of its tone, after like 25 hours with the game I don't know what to tell you other than whatever their intent was, it doesn't really resemble FF6. To my eyes the battle system - completely different, closer to FFX if you really want an FF comparison. Progression - see previous. Story - delivered in a completely different way and with a very different style/tone. The area where it skirts closest is in visual identity - the design of the world and the art style that delivers that definitely evokes that look - but even then it's still pretty far from it, I think, just due to how the game uses things like character animation on the field etc etc. Mind you, I don't know why this is something everybody's getting hung up on: the game is still really fun and interesting imo (something Jason might not agree with, but that's how opinions work) - though some of the areas where it is interesting don't quite work... but the embargo really prevents me from getting into the nitty gritty of that. It's still worthy of your attention regardless. Like, a colleague of mine asked me on twitter earlier today if he should definitely pick up Octopath given that FF6 is his favorite game of all time. My answer was just - wait for the embargo and read some reviews and get a real good idea of what the game is in-depth, as the 'it's like FF6' shortcut isn't actually a very helpful or accurate description, regardless of what the developers say. The fact my answer wasn't an immediate yes should speak to where it stands compared to FF6 in terms of similarities. I think it's gonna be a good thing in its own right, tho.

Well, to be fair to IO the point is to have large locations that allow for a huge amount of variety for the contracts, elusive targets, etc etc. There are vast parts of levels in the 2016 game that aren't even used in their main missions that then get used in genius ways in the alternate takes on those levels. That's harder to achieve in smaller levels. There's something really satisfying about seeing a level you already know well in a whole new light six months after launch thanks to some new piece of live content, I think.

Well, Luke himself hits the nail on the head at one point in the season when a guy shoots at him and he says "everybody wants to see is the myth is true, huh?" And this makes sense, tbh. Are the viral videos faked? Is he just a mega tough dude with an over-the-top reputation? Maybe he got lucky and it spread? It's easy to believe why people wouldn't believe it's true until they see a bullet bounce off themselves, tbh. Or at least... it is if you take these four shows as their own enclosed thing. It becomes a lot more difficult to believe if you actually try to accept they're in the MCU, as with all the other shit that's happened in New York alone you'd think people would take more supernatural shit at face value.

So, yes, they are a different height than the classic ones. The reason that's cited in 5x03 is of course that's the episode covering the new, taller design. It wasn't the sole reason for the change but given they specifically bring it up it was definitely a factor.

While the BBC has never commented on it, we've had a few clues over the years that it is true, like RTD saying he had to "work a Dalek in" to the specials year (which ultimately manifested as the brief, one-scene Dalek cameo in The Waters of Mars). The fact that every year Moffat has squeezed one in somewhere (the decapitated one during The Wedding of River Song during Series 6 and the brief Kaled/Dalek war scenes in The Pilot in series 10, for instance) suggests it's probably a real thing. After all, if they're off air for too long, the seemingly quite greedy Nation estate probably sees a drop off in their toy revenue, ha.

I mean, you only need to look at ten-plus years of history for an answer to this anyway - Christmas episodes always bundle with the series, and are always produced as part of the following series' block. So The Christmas Invasion was produced as part of Series 2 and shipped as part of that DVD, The Snowmen was part of Series 6 production, etc etc. The only exceptions have been when a Doctor/team has been departing - both The End of Time and Twice Upon a Time were tacked on to the previous series' production cycle, so... surely the same deal here. If Chibnall's crew do a Christmas Episode (which I'd honestly expect - Moffat said part of the reason he stayed for one more episode was to keep the continuity of a Who Xmas episode, because once the show misses that slot once it'll be easier for the BBC to not reinstate it), it'll be attached to Series 12 production-wise, it'll be the first episode of that next production block and have DVD placement to match. And if there's no Christmas episode there'll be ten episodes on these discs, as that's how many are in Series 11. So we're losing two episodes this year, though each episode will be 5 minutes (ish) longer to clock in at 50 minutes each. American/international viewers may or may not get those extra minutes, as they might be cut for ads - previously Doctor Who was often cut from 45 to 40 for US broadcast by trimming gaps and removing a scene or two - not sure how they'll marry that to the extended length.

He's definitely gonna do it. Matt too - Matt's even said in interviews he's looking forward to doing it but is waiting for the thumbs up from the BBC. I reckon we'll get a series with David and Freema and then we're going to get Matt/Karen (assuming her newfound Hollywood success doesn't keep her away? She seems the type who'd make time for it though), then they'll loop back around for more Tenth Doctor stuff. There's a lot of weird shit about the movie. Like the original characters, Grace and Chang - they belong to Universal/Fox, who co-produced the TV movie, the BBC. That's why there's never been 8th Doctor audios from Big Finish with his 'original' companions. Like the Doctor Universal wouldn't own The Master because he was an existing character, but the TV movie was still a black hole licensing-wise for many years. I didn't even get a home video release outside the UK until 2010(!) because of the rights problems.

I assume based on some teases in the prose of the Day of the Doctor novel that Moffat is going to to the silence stories next, as there's a few prods and nods to that storyline being a bit incomplete, and a 'deleted' chapter missing from the book where it's implied you've read it and immediately forgotten thanks to them. I wonder if RTD will do another? I assume Gatiss must be doing one, I bet he can't resist. I'd love to see Cornell do Father's Day, too...

I'm more amused that he's doing it at all, to be honest, given how much he's shit on DW and Thor even in recent weeks. He must have another sofa to pay for (this is a reference to how, on the fucking for Thor at the Premiere, he told three separate outlets he only did the film to pay for an expensive new sofa). He's perfectly entitled to charge, though. I'm just astonished he's willing to do it at all - like 12 months ago he called conventions a "shameful stunt" for an actor to do.

I imagine it's going to take it being mentioned in the show first..

I just accidentally caught a rerun of Last of the Time Lords on TV, and boy, you really can tell RTD was rushed/ill when he wrote that. What a mess that last ten minutes is. Strong emotional core, like, but an absolute pig otherwise. I think the most baffling thing of all is how once the finale begins they teleport the Doctor and the Master to a cliff-edge for no reason other than for the imagery of them standing on a cliff, except it was clearly pissing it down based on the way David's hair looks and how much they've had to wash out the scene in order to make it play... and then there's like six lines of dialogue there and then teleport back?? It's so mad. I do miss this era of the show, though. It's easy to forget how crap and TV it looked compared to Series 6 onwards (I adore its obsession with small-scale crowd reaction shots to the alien threat), but that's really part of its charm.

The interesting thing about unleashing the restoration team on the new series, or at least the first five series of it, is that there's oodles of Doctor Who Confidential interviews that have huge unused chunks in the actual shows that are presumably archived somewhere. There's also stuff like the website podcast commentaries, some of which are absolute gold mines, that're now sort of lost (they can be dug out of the website, but not easily) so there's a lot of stuff that can be republished easily enough.

I don't really mean the actual shows, since the cut footage from the shows was mostly just music video montage rubbish - I just mean that say every time they sat down with RTD they would've shot 15 minutes of talking then only used 3 to 5 minutes of it in the episode they were talking about, and the same for all other interviewees. My point is so long as it hasn't been trashed there's a lot of lovely unused behind-the-scenes and interview footage about for that era.

The point is that they're supposed to look like the target novelizations from the 70s, which these are essentially a spiritual revival of... so if they look 70s, it's Mission Accomplished! The modern re-issues of these novels look the same, retaining the same artwork but feature the same logo/author/title treatment as these, so it's in keeping with the rest of the set. Weirdly, my main issue is that they've just chosen promo shots of the actors to use at random, so that's clearly a Series 2 Rose on that cover and the Tennant picture on the cover of The Christmas Invasion is one of him looking older from The End of Time, but hey-ho.

That's a fair viewpoint, I think, and an interesting one. I'm far more about the emotion than the rubber suits, so I'd take a Father's Day with a naff CGI monster but a really strong, heartbreaking and rather brutal emotional core over clever, scary monsters. (Probably my largest 'issue' with Moffat's era - which make no mistake is excellent - is that he's great at being clever and scary, but much less adept at being heartfelt.) Sometimes those streams cross, of course, like with Human Nature, and that's when you get the best episodes of the show. I think Doctor Who still does plenty of characters like Van Statten though when push comes to shove. Is the guy in Thin Ice last year any less of an evil capitalist pig caricature?

I even think World War Three is a really good episode, tbh. The hardcore "fuck Blair" tone of the episode hasn't aged brilliantly (although, for the record: fuck Blair) but that's an episode that's incredibly brave - to take a drama-sci-fi-family series like Doctor Who and lock all the major players inside one room for almost an entire episode.

The entire Slitheen plot is a pastiche of the Iraq War, complete with the (ultimately false) claim that the (fake) alien ship has "massive weapons of destruction that can be deployed in thirty seconds", which is more or less exactly fingering Blair's claim to the commons that Hussain had "weapons of mass destruction that could be deployed in forty-five minutes", a quote that by 2005 was infamous for how wrong it was. The whole second half of the story is a parody of Britain and America's rush to a preemptive strike based on false information. I always thought that line was a on the nose, personally, given it's a near direct quote, but I get what he was trying to do. That and, er, they deliberately (and this is by RTD's own admission) kill a PM who looks like Blair. As per him laughing about it in The Writer's Tale, he insisted they get someone who looked like Blair because he was very much anti-Blair (he's no Tory, though - he just hated Labor's lurch to the middle). At the time of broadcast it caused a bit of a stir in the papers, with some of the angrier papers like the Mail decrying it as an unpatriotic breach of the BBC's impartiality rules and other papers claiming it was a brilliant mockery of real life. It's not so much subtext as, well, text - and text the writer has tacitly admitted to and spoken about, since that episode was really the first time Doctor Who as a show ever made a definitive political statement, though of course it's made many since.

I don't really remember Hell Bent that well, but all the flash forward stuff is in the diner, right?

He is in a desert at the end when the diner-TARDIS disappears, but I honestly assumed they shot that stuff pick-up while they were abroad for either the Zygons or Gallifrey, cos the terrain looks very similar to the Gallifrey stuff just without the orange tint.

RTD's logic not just on post-regeneration was that in general you have to be killed by something instantly, basically. So if the Doctor were shot in the head, that'd do him. In the time war Daleks racked up plenty of kills with one-shots (incidentally, this is why the Dalek that shoots the Doctor in The Stolen Earth only scores a glancing blow, thus allowing him to regenerate) -- so anything that doesn't kill them instantly gives them a chance to start the process, and they then need to remain safe while the process takes place. I'd assume largely the same applies to freshly regenerated, really, it's just that the healing doesn't cost an actual regeneration.

I think while the description is obviously reductive, Moffat's answer is reductive in another, different way - he dismisses it probably because he thinks it takes too simple a view of his work, but the flip side is by dismissing it out of hand, well... it dismisses that... it's true, really. The fairytale stuff comes from the format of Moffat's series early on: we often see the Doctor through the eyes of the companion, and to Amy he a fairytale figure because for years she wasn't even sure if he was real or not, imaginary friend, etc etc. "He was just a story, a game," as Rory said, like most fairytales. This carries through to very, very much of that series and really comes to define Smith's Doctor. What is he in his last story to the people of Trenzalore if not, y'know, a mad fairytale come to life? When you get to the scenes of him doing Punch & Judy and playing with the kids this is really very clear. Compare this to Rose (this goes for Donna and Martha, too) and what the Doctor is, well, it's pretty matter-of-fact, but the memorable difference, at least among fans, is that RTD's era is a show where the Doctor sits on a sofa and watches Blue Peter during an alien invasion, a show where he gets slapped by the companion's mothers, a show where a pivotal character beat for a major character takes place over a chance encounter as she washes her underwear in a launderette. I think one of the best scenes of that era is just Jackie and Mickey talking absolute crap over chips in a dialogue exchange that's so blisteringly mundane, dull and silly that it feels absolutely real-- This dialogue is where the kitchen sink drama talk comes from, and people don't talk like this in Moffat's Who. They don't even talk like it in Torchwood or Sarah Jane, or at least not nearly as much - it seems like it was a specific decision by RTD to ground the show for a really broad Saturday night audience, whereas SJA didn't need it because it was for kids and Torchwood didn't need it because it was for sci-fi fans. Obviously there's crossover between the two - we have The Lodger in Moffat's era and we have the Doctor as a legend woven throughout RTD's era, but I think the comparison is absolutely real. I think Moffat's show ultimately moves away from it - the fairytale thing is specifically a Smith thing and even more specifically mostly an Amy/Rory thing - but it is very much real, and it's a defining pillar of that era. It's reductive because there's a lot else to it, but the 11/Amy and the River stuff is all fairytale, and that's fair enough. The same threads are throughout like Moffat says, but they're handled in different ways- like the Doctor dropping in and out of Amy & Rory's life is a fun game, but with Rose and Martha it's depicted as some awful, life-shattering stuff for the people around them. That's where the kitchen sink stuff comes from, really. We haven't had a character like Jackie in Moffat's era, and she is basically a soap opera character. She could walk onto Albert Square tomorrow and she'd fit right in.

Sure enough with the Toclafane -- but the flip side is that the entire Master series 3 plot is made possible by the most simple kitchen sink drama in the world - a mother concerned for and interfering in the life of her daughter. This is the thing, and this is the difference, really - RTD's series was often driven, in the background, by that sort of soap-opera like drama. All the stuff with Martha's mum and dad is the emotional rock of what Martha goes on to do, and the episode goes to pains to make a point around them because they're ordinary and don't understand the stakes or the reasoning for their own suffering in the way Martha, Jack and the Doctor do. Much of the previous episode is dedicated to them - to their betrayal, to their imprisonment, and crucially to the fury that it cooks up in Martha even towards the Doctor. My point, I suppose, is that the story is absolutely driven by them and that kitchen sink family-and-friends stuff. It's the lifeblood of the show, in a sense. The legend and fairytale stuff comes late on and is barely telegraphed to the point where the episode was derided as being terrible (I disagree) a lot at the time because of the deus ex machina ending. Moffat's endings are rarely like that, but part of the reason why is how he writes. When the crack opens in the sky of Trenzalore and the Doctor is rescued, it feels earned - but the flip side is that the kitchen sink drama-esque scenes we get with parents and a grandma we never see before or since are pretty throwaway in the same way that RTD's conclusion is throwaway. Vitally, nothing about the conversation with Clara's grandmother and parents actually set her in motion - her path is already decided, it's clear - but the scenes are only there to demonstrate where she is and that the Doctor has truly, properly sent her away. It's a different sort of tone - they're basically focused in inverse ways.

God, I couldn't disagree more. Rose, Dalek, Father's Day, The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances, Bad Wolf and Parting of the Ways are all-time classic Doctor Who episodes, every one. Like, Van Statten is an irritating side character but that's sort of the point of him, right? Likewise for Adam. Christmas Invasion is brilliant too... and then in series 2 I'd say School Reunion, Girl in the Fireplace, Impossible Planet/Satan Pit and Army of Ghosts/Doomsday are all absolute classics too. Secretly I have a lot of love for Tooth and Claw and Love & Monsters too, though I know those are polarizing in a big way, so ey. The production value is very rocky and series 1 and 2 are home to two of the worst episodes in New Who (The Long Game/Fear Her), but I honestly still think they're amazing TV with some really brilliant, snappy writing. There's an energy to those first two years that is still unmatched, really, though everything else improved in kind around it. Every RTD year was better than the last, but I still don't think 1/2 are bad, really.

These are great. In fairness, and playing devil's advocate, mind -- Eccleston's series was a show coming back and was building off zero momentum. Everyone after him has an unfair weighting of the top ten numbers too, as they all did a few Christmas episodes each and those make the top ten because it's Christmas Day. The fall from 11th to 18th is pretty modest though, that's quite good. Really hope Jodie can mark a Tennant-like jump again.

In an amazing twist of stupidity, today's papers are reporting the creators of the character of the Brigadier are considering legal action against the BBC for featuring a character related to him in the Christmas Special. In many cases, early Who creations had their rights retained by their writers (most famously Terry Nation & the Daleks) and so permission has to be gained to use them or do anything new with them - unlike with Kate, permission wasn't obtained. So dumb.

Mind that the point they're making about show format has little to do with casting though, as while I believe what you say about Capaldi even with Smith as the show went heavier in that direction the UK ratings shifted accordingly. Series 5, his simplest, and the most like the adventure format of RTD's era, is well above the rest.

They did do about the same amount of international filming, but in Capaldi's era it was generally more subtle than the "look! an international location!" stuff in the Tennant/Smith eras, really. Like they went to Tenerife to double as Skaro in Series 9, but given what it was you never really had a chance to think of it as being an international location (indeed a lot of the time you could mistake it for a matte painting at a glance thanks to the CGI Dalek buildings grafted onto it), things like that.

I mean, this too is a result of the decline in interest/live viewership/etc. When the show was pulling numbers equal to or even sometimes better than stuff like Strictly in the Tennant years the BBC would go out of their way to ensure it maintained a normal time slot, only ever moving it for things like the sport, which of course can't be moved. When it was one of their very biggest shows the BBC would also try to avoid putting it directly against, say, the X Factor lest its audience get damaged, but now the audience is down regularly they throw it in the way of shows like that on the regular. With the live UK audience at sometimes as little as half of those days now and the press no longer at fever pitch with the show as their darling, its slot has become more expendable which is on one hand understandable but of course sucks ass. I think it's absolutely key that the next series has a regular, steadfast time slot - and back at 7pm, where the show thrived previously.

It hasn't been shunted around day-of, but it's been all over the place since about series 7 - bumped back as far as not long past 5pm. The issue really is that they change it week-to-week - basically, Doctor Who has gone from being a schedule-setter, where it aired at 7pm and the BBC fit other things around it to one of the shows that fits into the schedule around other shows like Strictly Come Dancing and the like. Hopefully the show gets some of the zeitgeist back with Jodie and can wrestle more of the schedule back as a result. As for reality TV, well - it's weird, really. If you're not a Brit, UK TV is still as such that there are really four 'main' channels (two BBC, two not) and while people have access to hundreds of others, a lot of the 'core' ratings war is between those four, especially on a Saturday night. ITV, the BBC's main rival, is awash with reality shows, and throughout the entire revival of the show the X-Factor has been Doctor Who's biggest menace, and it was something RTD's production team actually would try to get away from, as it has such an enormous footprint it'd hurt Who to go out at the same time as it.

UK TV is split into a few 'bits'. So, like, there's the pre-digital, terrestrial TV channels - BBC1/2, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5. All 5 of these are supported by the government and taxes - the BBC entirely (thus no ads) and the other three partially (they have ads). By getting government money they agree to serve public interests - so that's why the BBC is so magnificent and must be protected, because it's not so driven by what sells. That's why the BBC can afford to spend outlandish amounts on things like Attenborough documentaries even if the figures don't add up, because their remit includes instruction to educate as well as entertain. Then there's freeview, which adds about 100 more channels that resemble US TV more. All that's free, and then of course there are paid premium packages like what you guys get with even more premium high-end channels. There's actually UK versions of most US channels like Investigation Discovery or SyFy and so on, but unless the government dismantles the BBC (which the current right-leaning government would rather like to do, methinks) Doctor Who probably won't end up anywhere else aside from reruns (and RTD-era re-runs are a staple on a few freeview channels). It's a weirdly complicated thing, the BBC, because the British public own it. So there's an argument in their remit about - for instance - anything major continuity wise should be broadcast free, because it'd be wrong to do a Who movie for instance and require people to go and pay to see it in order to keep up with show continuity. When BBC stuff has gone to cinema (like The League of Gentlemen), it's been a show the BBC aired that is owned by its production company... but the BBC owns Doctor Who. The BBC is going through some really interesting changes right now, and it all has quite a lot of meaning for Doctor Who, though it's not really clear how the impact will play out. There used to be the regular BBC which was all about public service and then BBC America, merchandise, DVDs and stuff like that were handled by BBC Worldwide. The main difference was that the BBC was commercial, but Worldwide - this was a way for the BBC to commercially exploit its properties without the thought of money poisoning the decision-making process in the BBC proper. Right now Worldwide is merging with the main program-producing part of the BBC, so for the first time ever those two ends will meet - and as one of the BBC's most profitable, internationally sold and commercially viable shows it could potentially mean big changes for Who in a couple of years. We'll see! Ratings still matter to Who because it's an enormously expensive show and that sort of use of taxpayer money has to be properly justified, but I really hope the BBC remains 'pure' and safe as it goes through transitions. It's tough times for them as they have more stuff to do than ever but the government has frozen how much money they get every year for ages now. I hope it can maintain its current form or something close to it for a long time to come, as I think part of why Who is as brave and as magnificent as it is comes down to its unique structure as a publicly-owned broadcaster.

Ratings news: 6th for the night with a little over 5.6 million, and it beat everything on ITV! That's great, though it is in part because it was a diabolically bad Christmas spread on TV anyway - Who was IMO by far the most interesting thing on. Good to see Who within striking distance of the day's biggest, though, and beating Corrie is a pretty big win in itself. AI is 81, which is fairly low - most other things were in the 84-86 range, with Mrs. Brown's Boys scoring a wholly undeserved 88. Anything over 80 is considered good, however. I feel like Capaldi's era has always scored a few points lower than it should've, but also this was quite introspective and subdued, and self-referential. Fully expect we'll get a very self-enclosed Christmas special next year in a Voyage of the Damned vein.

I'm wondering, is the "sometimes, children can hear the name" thing the most significant thing a Doctor has ever said that was taken directly from the actor? That entire little speech is lifted almost verbatim from an answer Capaldi gave at a comic con at some point when someone asked him what the Doctor's name is. What other examples of this do we have?

Yeah, I always wonder what Dicks makes of that. He must be proud. It's a shame he hasn't had much involvement with the modern show - he wrote the novelization of a Sarah Jane Adventures episode, and original 10/Martha stories with the Judoon and the Lumic Cybermen, so he obviously does keep up with it, or did. I suppose he's in his eighties now but maybe he'll contribute once more at some point, I hope.

Regarding the companion group and the dynamic of a group, I think Moffat's vision of the show put the story as more of The Doctor's story than the story of the companion. The most obvious version of this is found in terms of their introductions... Take, say, the introductions of Rose, Martha and Donna versus those of Amy, Clara and Bill... Rose and Martha are introduced similarly - we meet them, see their job, and the Doctor enters stage left and turns their life upside down. With Donna it's a bit different as she'd been previously introduced, but when she joins the crew in Partners in Crime she spends most of the episode alone, and much of it is seen from her POV as she hunts for the Doctor. Amy's introduction is interesting because it also introduces a new Doctor, of course, but it's worth noting that the show opens with the Doctor, and it is him. Largely this is true for Smith's whole run - things happen to Amy and Rory around the fringes of the Doctor's life, but he drives absolutely everything. Clara's a weird one, like Donna, because of the fake-out introductions, but if we look at The Bells of St. John, her actual introduction, it opens with the Doctor again. Here he is - random phone call - who is this woman? In a sense, the situation is flipped compared to Rose and Martha - the companion is the mystery, not the Doctor. Bill is interesting as there's no build-up - she meets the Doctor in scene one - but again, it plays as him being familiar, and that's that. Part of that is to do with the show being on air for so long... I think it's difficult to act as Series 3 and Series 4 did now, with no pre-titles sequence, playing the first half of the first episode like 'Rose', with the Doctor not the focus. Anyway, my point is - this is what I think we'll see a bit more of. Back to a group focus, back to a focus, hopefully with Jodie as something of a mystery that plays out over time. We'll see, but I think Chibnall is more likely to be on the RTD end of the scale when it comes to featuring slice-of-life companion stuff than on the Moffat end - and the companions will get their chance to save the day, because a lot of kids look up to them as much as the Doctor, to be fair.

I don't think this is entirely fair as the show still has great AI figures and good audience figures, and Capaldi is arguably more critically acclaimed than Smith was - but it probably is fair to say that the BBC probably want something more RTD-esque, and I think that's what we'll get. The main thing I'm curious about now is the format of the show, and I'm sure they'll talk about this in the new year - if they're going to do something more or less serialized than we've seen before in the modern show.

The hardcore are usually wrong in that sense anyway, in that the highest-ever score for the show goes jointly to The Stolen Earth & Journey's End (both 91), episodes a lot of fans consider self-indulgent and wanky. And, of course, the ratings record (post the 70s, anyway) is held by Voyage of the Damned, which is also wildly hated by fans (and imo, wrongly - it's just a silly, fun romp) It's one of those funny things though, where I think if you listen to the fans you'll see the AI/ratings crumple over time, because they do hold the show and its creators to a general quality level across the board. But you need to break free of their considerations often around that, because when you do... it leads to those episodes.

I feel like it could still be Ben Foster. It depends on if Chibnall wants to do something all-new, but if he wants a continuation of Gold's sound and he doesn't want to do it any more, Foster is the next obvious step. He did Torchwood, which of course Chibs co-ran, he arranged a lot of Murray's work for the concerts and other shows like Confidential, and he's been stepping up as lead composer on some higher-profile shows - his work on the modern Thunderbirds reboot is really, good.

Rory always gets fucked over - he wasn't even in that montage in The Doctor Falls, while Jenny and Vastra made it?! Well, the victory lap has to be taken as what it is, I think - The End of Time isn't the end of Tennant's run, it is the end of Doctor Who. Sort of. The excellent Eruditorum Press blog touches on this... that at one point, the end of Tennant's run was just to be the end of Doctor Who again for a while, wham, bam, done, see you in a decade, or something. The plans changed, and fans still aren't sure who deserves the credit for that, though it seems pretty likely it was a near-miss born out of RTD being terribly ill during series 3 and the show nearly falling apart during the latter half of that series. But the structure of the final stretch of The End of Time is arguably all about that... The funny thing is I think Moffat would've liked to have indulged this sort of thing too, but his departure has been so stretched out (by his own admission, he'd have been gone 18 months ago or more if it wasn't for him wanting to ensure his replacement was in place and already underway before he left) that a lot of the things he'd have done in his version of this, like a final goodbye to River and Missy, and the Doctor dreaming of all his companions -- he's done already. In DWM production notes he's said it's one of the reasons he decided to bring back the first Doctor for this episode - it was the one new, exciting, defining thing he could do.

It's definitely not mandatory, though it is fairly interesting, since he'll be the first show-runner we've had since 2005 who that hardcore. That can work both ways, for better and for worse. The one thing it'll stop is that Moffat and RTD both recycled a fair few ideas from Big Finish. There are quite a few stories from their era that are based on or harvest ideas from Big Finish stories they liked, and in some instances, like Dalek, entire episodes are literally adaptations of Big Finish stories. Same for the Virgin New Adventures novels - I forget the name of the pub, but there was some pub in London near that publisher where Moffat, RTD, Paul Cornell, Mark Gatiss, Matt Jones (The Impossible Planet), Nick Briggs etc etc used to hang out, and of course many of that group went on to have a huge part in the revived version of the show - and of course Lawrence Miles, part of that group but also a bit of a tit, never forgave RTD or Moffat for never inviting him to write for it. So, it doesn't matter at all - no doubt somebody from BBC Worldwide will be keeping him appraised of the plot lines in BF to avoid crossover, and hopefully Capaldi's departure means we are now two eras removed and Briggs can pick up the phone to Matt Smith. What's more interesting, broadly, is that we're getting our first show runner who comes from outside that Doctor Who supergeek world, from outside the group of people who still lived and breathed the show when it was off the air in the 90s. That's interesting, as it's sure to mark a tonal shift, innit.

Chibs is unlikely to want to write for a companion he's never written for in his first scene, though, surely? I strongly suspect the final scene will be very End of Time-ish - some fevered monologuing into a landing or a crash. I have this theory that the Doctor might never get to say goodbye to Bill - like she might leave him when he's unconscious, and then when he wakes up and finally begins to regenerate she's gone. Will Clara show up? Hmmm... RE set reports, god, does anyone remember the most idiotic wing of the fanbase freaking out about the captured-from-a-distance audio of Matt Smith in block 1 of series 5? It was that shouty "I am the Doctor and you are the Daleks" speech, and Outpost Gallifrey was on fire with fury. "He doesn't know how to say Dalek!!!" Hahaha. Amazing times. Everything seems much calmer around Jodie's set reports...

Yeah, the picture is a joy to see...! Matt getting all grey there, too...! Ha. Cool to see Freema still involved from time to time, too - I still have hope that given that Chibs hired her to work on Law & Order UK when he was running that show (poaching her out of appearing in Torchwood Miracle Day) we might see her in a UNIT episode or something during his run... Maybe one day, hey-ho. Hey, Eccleston is a lovely man and is currently on one of the best and most socially progressive shows on TV at the moment playing a very difficult part, and during promotion for that show he's doing some fabulous outreach... But that doesn't mean it isn't a bummer that he's still so determined to not be associated with Doctor Who that he won't show up to this for a Red Nose Day auction. For me at least in this instance it's not to do with any sense of fan entitlement since I really could not give a damn if he ever comes back for a multi-Doc, or Big Finish, or ever deigns to do conventions - that's a perfectly valid decision to make an an actor. It's perfectly fine that he didn't do the "good luck" call to Jodie that Tennant, Smith and Capaldi did, too - again, up to him. We have his excellent run which is plenty - he gave a lot to the show. I just wish he'd entertain doing the charity breakfast, even if it just means Skyping in as Capaldi and McGann did - since no matter how much he wants to disconnect from the show it's a really good cause. I mean, I know knee-jerk overreactions are sort of your MO in these Doctor Who threads, but is saying it's sad to see him missing (and Tom, for that matter, but he's now and he did the previous one) really elevated to the level of ? I didn't say fuck Eccleston for not turning up, I said I was sad (or I thought it a shame, whatever) to not have him there.

The problem is really those characters, to be honest. Scarred from the struggle of writing the Eleventh Hour (which is, let's be fair, fucking incredible) Moffat felt like he wanted to surround Capaldi with familiar faces to support him, which is exactly what RTD did in The Christmas Invasion. I can't imagine episode without Jackie, Mickey or even Harriet Jones, but I absolutely can imagine a version of Deep Breath without those three - which is why, like you say, the show could easily lose fifteen minutes and be fine. Also, weirdly, I'm really not a fan about how the victory moment for the Doctor takes place from Clara and the others, whereas 10 and 11's first victories are in front of their companions, almost to reaffirm to them, and the audience, the Doctor's status. Anyway. Yeah. It wasn't a great start, but things sure got better!

This is mad though, as really for all intents and purposes the fake-out scene is the real 'regeneration' and then he has a quiet, contemplative scene afterwards - but this is really just the inverse. Tennant has that sort of scene earlier in The End of Time before he gives himself over to fate, basically, raging and then giving in and all that. Smith just had that scene at , but let's not act like his regeneration was remotely subdued. Eccleston's was, though - a kiss, a contemplative speech, gone.

I dunno that I'd really qualify that as milking the regeneration itself, because surely what people were talking about (or at least, the way I interpreted it) was how the moment of change is presented - be it explosive or more subdued. Ultimately, RTD had an opportunity Moffat didn't, which was that when he wrote a post-regeneration introduction Rose was arguably the most popular part of the show and certainly critically Billie was regarded as the reason why the series even 'worked' at all, so he was able to give over an episode which really isn't actually about our new Doctor until the last fifteen minutes - the first three quarters of it are all about Rose. I don't really think it's milking, but it's a strong narrative technique - you, like her, spend the episode longing for the Doctor to arrive, and so when he does you don't question him. Whereas I think the scripts of both Deep Breath and The Eleventh Hour are building blocks where practically every scene exists to convince you a little more that it is the Doctor until, at the end, you accept. By the logic of milking these are both different ways of milking the regeneration anyway, from "I'm still cooking" and seeing the outfit gradually come together to the who-am-I struggle - every regeneration has its version of this, but I think the goodbye is more interesting to consider than the hello, tbh. But RTD's situation going into Series 2 was hugely unique and Billie really was once-in-a-generation in a Liz Sladen style, so I don't expect to see that sort of take on regeneration for a while, certainly not this one. By his own admission Moffat probably could've managed it had Karen stuck around, but Clara didn't have the klout necessary really - she hadn't been around for very long at that point, which was why he stuck in the Pasternoster gang and stuff. It's the same melody that then basically expanded to become that piece, yeah. It's not the same music/arrangement/etc though. A bit like how, say, the piece that plays when Smith is regenerating (the big regeneration & speech, not the aftermath in the TARDIS) is a passage lifted form the piece that plays in Series 4 when River dies/lives (which I always thought was a nice thematic touch).

I've believed for a long time aside from the very ill-considered blowjob joke (and the cruelty of that 'life' - I don't feel like it's in the Doctor's character to even bring somebody back in that way even if he could) I think Love & Monsters is actually one of the best crossover sci-fi and slice-of-life episodes of TV ever written - it's just let down by the above and by the monster design (which, to be fair, game from a nine year old). If we're talking worst episodes, btw, the worst episodes of New Who are Fear Her (shit) and In the Forest of the Night (hilariously shit). I always wonder what on earth happened with the latter, because it's just awful. At least with Fear Her we know that it was a combination of Doomsday sucking up all the money so there was no budget and Stephen Fry's script falling through quite late so it was fairly rapidly written. There's a lot of really dubious distinctly average stuff, though, and it's usually a 'theme' episode like Curse of the Black Spot, Kill the Moon, etc. I think Series 7a is probably most guilty of this in that I think that production decree that every episode should be able to be sell-able in a single like "Dinosaurs on a spaceship! Robot in the wild west!" meant that they all fizzle out in weird ways. Even Asylum of the Daleks, which is a good episode, sort of squanders its core concept in that 'the daleks too insane even for the daleks' amounts to ones that are, er, a bit broken. The difference between 7a and 7b in quality is enormous.

I'd completely forgotten Chibs was exec producer on Law & Order UK - I wonder if this makes a run-in with Martha more likely during his run? Chibnall of course famously sort of sabotaged RTD's plans for Martha, where she was to appear in both Torchwood: Miracle Day and Sarah Jane Adventures by offering her the Law & Order role specifically because he was impressed with her Doctor Who turn. She backed out of the Who universe projects for the Law & Order shot (and RTD wrote about it a bit in The Writer's Tale, saying, y'know - he'd do the same thing!) - he clearly rated her highly, so... hmm...

I think for year one he absolutely will clean slate, but I can see one or two people sneaking in ala Sarah Jane into the rebooted show, more and more lore relayered in. We're now twelve years removed from the RTD era's beginnings, and by the time Chibnall's first episode airs we'll be thirteen years out, and a full decade out even from Martha's first appearance - so I think we're starting to creep to the point where somebody could show up again, tbh.

Moffat himself talked about this in his DWM column around the 50th/when Matt left (and it's been talked about at comic con etc since) that's when all those pictures were first printed - during the 50th fever - but Moffat scripted a "pirate-like" look initially once Smith was cast, but then as soon as Smith started trying on costumes it went in a completely different direction. They tried on loads of stuff, but that look was based on what Moffat scripted, like how RTD scripted the leather jacket even before Eccleston was cast - but that one stuck as it was key to his vision of this damaged version of the character etc etc. The tweed was all Matt - he wore tweed to his audition, and despite producers/Moffat trying to steer it away, it absolutely stuck. Quoth Smith: "For the first meeting, I went in a tweed blazer, which is why he wears a tweed blazer. I thought, ‘Well, he’s old, so I’ve got to make him feel kind of professorial.’ I had a tweed blazer which I loved and which, obviously, I can never wear again! I was really annoyed at the time because I thought I looked really cool in it." This sort of back-and-forth between the writers and the actors is the way of the show, though. RTD didn't want Tennant to have the overcoat, and used to write him taking off the jacket into scripts very specifically to make sure Tennant couldn't sneakily keep it on for most of an episode (this as per DVD commentaries & podcasts from Series 2). He seemed to warm to it over time, though.

Yeah, in one of his (often very candid and excellent) DWM columns. Moffat's a good writer who came a cropper of schedules, struggles to find a stable production team, and arguably his own being too in demand with Sherlock etc. Like, I think there's a problem in the fanbase that goes in two directions - one being unnecessary vitriol (IE he's a hack fraud, or whatever - no, he kept the show alive for many years and actually introduced it to a whole new audience abroad, though to be fair the success of Torchwood on BBC America helped to lay the groundwork) and the other end being the writers being beyond reproach where you can't even discuss certain aspects of the show. We've had this debate before, though. Discussion, dissection, criticism =/= hatred, fwiw. Lots of nice things are said, too! And hey - I'm the guy who will stand up and defend Love & Monsters, so we all have our crosses to bear. That costume note is really just intended not as a malicious attack on Moffat but just an interesting wrinkle in the history of the show - once he cast a young man (after to cast an older man) he began to envision a younger Doctor that was more swashbuckling and trendy with a costume that looked like it fell out of a H&M catalog but with added quirk. I don't even think that's a bad direction - and honestly, bits of Jodie's outfit feel like that. But Matt steered it away from leaning into the youth and we ended up with tweed and suspenders. It's meant to be a fun note, the sort of thing fans can chew on and wonder what might've been.

Hahahaha. Incidentally, since this brings up Class, I wanted to mention I felt it was really awful (and sort of indicative of the loss of oversight Moffat had in his later years) that Capaldi appeared in that show. It was a YA show, a teenage show - much the same as Torchwood - and the logic was the Doctor, the TARDIS and the Daleks could never appear in Torchwood because kids would want to watch it, completionist. Class occupies much the same sort of space as Torchwood, with blood splatter, swearing etc etc - and if you're eight and a Doctor Who fan you probably shouldn't be incentivised to watch it, but an appearance by the Doc is always sure to do just that. Just a thought.

Considering the Japanese collection was this exact same release originally and they simply delayed it to replace the US versions/ROMs with Japanese versions after fan anger/outcry at Japan getting versions of the games they don't recognize, it is very safe to assume it'll be exactly the same game but with the Japan-correct builds. Not sure how Capcom USA outsourcing is 'lazy', though - they're essentially a publisher, aside from the Dead Rising team up in Canada and QA people they don't have any in-house developers to use. That aside, this was, in a sense, their collection to make afaik - Street Fighter is fairly unique in Capcom in that the Street Fighter IP copyright is registered to Capcom USA, whereas everything else is registered to Capcom Japan. I always figured that's why you see a greater level of collaboration between East and West on SF development-wise compared to something like RE or MH, too.

I've also got an Aqua Terra in blue with the blue crocodile leather strap for more dressy occasions. Occasionally I break out a Seiko SRPA29 - useful for when I'm worried about wearing a more expensive watch as it's a lot cheaper - and a Huawei Watch smart watch that I've sometimes worn for work events when stuff is really busy and the smart aspect would be useful. I also wanna express, as in the post above, my love for the basic old Casio watches. I still have two versions of the same Casio watch that I wore from about age 14 until about 21 - one metal strap, one leather. I'll never let those go; they're wonderful little pieces. There's only really two watches on my 'watch bucket list' right now - the Moonwatch and a Rolex Sub. The Moonwatch is the cheaper, obviously, so that's my next target. I also really like the Omega De Ville range from the 60s, but finding one in good condition at a good price is rarer than I'd like.

Surely the powder must be running a bit dry there? I feel like next year might be the ideal one to take a breather, reinterpret some classics, then come back with another newcomer (or more than one) in S5, which might well be the last. Viper and Sodom feel obvious, as Sodom we know was considered for vanilla and then dropped, and Viper is one of the few characters to appear in character stories (with a new design, no less) who isn't actually in the game proper.

It's obviously key to keep expectations in check, but ever since the cinematic story I've thought we're probably due Decapre as a free bonus at some point. She's way too close to a 'real' character. It's worth noting that as per datamining sometime in December when they dropped one of the prep-for-AE patches, they patched it to support more characters - as I recall, it upped the number of potential slots in the back-end to 54. That's enough for through season 6(!) and ten more than USF4, but most notable, I think, is that it's a weird uneven number - it's three more seasons plus two spare slots. As soon as I saw that I thought... they must have this planned out, right? Like, assuming the game is successful, even if they don't yet know the characters they know how many seasons they want to do (and 6 would line up with SF4's lifespan) and so those extra two stand out, and make me think at some point - paid or free - we'll get a couple of 'bonus characters'. I do actually think there's a strong chance we'll get characters monthly now, though. They clearly have their act together a bit more than before, and I think it'd be better for the pro tour if the season was 'complete' before the halfway point in the season. Plus, if they do this they can focus the back end of the year on fanservice cosmetic content like stages, costumes and music, all of which make bank for them.

I think at mid-level Silver/Gold tier play it can be pretty useful in the sense that you can use the grounded dash variant to dash in, land a throw and then gain control of them on wake-up, and it can be used to extend combos in some cool ways, but it's nowhere near as versatile as VT1.

I think this'd be a cool way of doing Honda in SF5. Give all of his moves high amounts of grey life damage, but then give him a V-Skill that's very easy to land, does little actual damage but can act as a 'converter' to turn the chip into real damage. So then his flow becomes pressure/grey life damage >> V Skill. Or maybe he only has that high grey life pressure when he's in V-Trigger, something like that.

There would be one thing fundamentally different, at least, which is that with the poison there's actually a reward for hitting someone then playing keep away, as the damage tick-down continues until they land a hit on you. With Honda, you could make it more of the opposite, because with the grey life thing you'd have to remain in their face at all times in order to stop it from recovering. It's the inverse of the poison mechanic.

Like Smash Bros, it's really difficult to compare DBFZ to any of the other fighters due to the sheer power of the IP involved. SF5, MK and Tekken are the trifecta of games that can be analysed together, I think. I don't think DBFZ really impacts SF or makes Capcom rethink SF - the path for SF is to stoke SF2 nostalgia and Capcom knows this - see all of SF4 - they're just spreading it out a bit more with SF5, but I'm sure we'll get Honda next year and they'll make an enormous deal out of the original 8 being together again, etc. I think the harder pill for Capcom to swallow is that DBZF proves that they can't blame MVCI's failures on maybe there not being a taste for a licensed fighter in a Japanese style - DBFZ proves that Injustice's success isn't due to being grim-dark and Western - they just fucked MVC up.

I believe this too, but I think they'll also quash a good chunk of the 3 lore, like Chun retiring to train kids or whatever. I think there's no way in hell they make a game without Ryu, Ken, Chun, Cammy, Zangief, Dhalsim and at least one of the 4 kings now. That's like the unshakable foundation at this point. Some of these characters need new reasons to live, mind, since with Bison dead and the Dolls rescued Chun and Cammy have both had their revenge, for instance. I assumed for a while that they were leading up to either an all-new second cinematic story or a retelling of SF3 within SF5 at one point, but somebody at Capcom told me that at least for AE the costings didn't match up to do a second cinematic story since it was apparently quite expensive. I hold out hope they might still do that with Super SF5 or whatever they end up eventually doing when they no doubt do another soft relaunch packaging of the game in another two years.

The main thing that I like about these DLCs is the fact that in the menu you can then choose what you want on a per-mode and even per-character basis. I tend to have everything turned on but randomized, so for instance in a fight vs a Ryu there's a chance it'll be Ryu's SF5 theme, or his SF2 theme, the stage theme, or one of a few story mode tracks associated with Ryu. You can turn stuff on and off at a granular level, so if you despised a particular character theme or arrangement you could make it so you never hear that specific theme. One thing I'm curious about is if the SF2 pack will be updated for Blanka and Sagat, if they'll patch those themes in for those two for people who own that pack already. I think if you're playing a lot it's the sort of variety that can help keep you sane, honestly. Any SF3/4/Alpha music DLC would now be an instant purchase for me.

Thread: Battlefield 1 |OT| "A Farewell to GAF"
I'm not really excited for the idea, either. I think I miss current day weaponry. Sure, I could always boot up BF4, but the community sort of died out in Oceania (minus a couple of 64 player conquest servers). Being down in the mud in Trench Warfare is something to behold with BF1's fidelity, and I'm sure a WW2 game would leave a similar impression, but man I want to fire some M4's.

Thread: Cyberpunk 2077 is still in a pre-alpha stage
To be clear, I wasn't implying any inside knowledge on the release date or anything like that. However, it is a fact that Cyberpunk 2077 being in Pre-Alpha state does not necessarily mean we'll have to wait more than two years to play it. As pointed out already, several games were in Alpha state only half a year before launch or so, not to mention that different studios use the Pre-Alpha, Alpha, Beta terms in very different ways. I think that the game will be out between late 2019 and the first half of 2020 at the latest, and it won't skip current generation consoles if they can help it. It wouldn't make any sense financially to do so.

I'm not saying the game doesn't have issues or shouldn't be improved. Of course that's true. My point was that user reviews don't seem to be a real deterrent when it comes to sales, as Ark and PUBG (and others) have proven. Hopefully, Crytek can do an even better job and use the sales revenue to refine the game a lot.

I never said anything about whether or not it would affect most movies, only showtimes. Regardless, it could be applied to every movie opening weekend and I'd still argue it's a ridiculous deal. Tthis is (or less!) for theoretically a movie a day. In most markets, a single showing recovers the entire cost, if not 50%+ in others like San Francisco. Most people don't see movies opening weekend, so I'd argue it's not just a valid alternative, but most people's modus operandi. Pretty much this.

Sadly this is where I'm at.

I was hoping MP would have added the ability to reserve seats in response to AMC, but they made a much worse change instead. AMC is still a right dick though, and I'm going to miss the flexibility of MP--especially since the Popcorn at the AMC Metreon is room temperature garbage.

The specific amount of 120 was, but I'm pretty sure that wasthere being 100+, which is what I believe MaitreWakou was referring to since he also mentioned "4 dungeons" which is one of several other details we had mentioned then

Thread: The Incredibles' animation has made me scared to rewatch older Pixar titles
Jaws doesn't even appear on screen until 80 minutes in, and even then, mostly in quick glances. Otherwise it features real people; Incredibles is full of rubbery people the entire way through and looks dated as a result. There's nothing inherently wrong with that at all--I think it almost makes it more interesting in some ways--but I would argue it has aged worse visually (and far faster) than probably almost any pre CGI film.

My experience has been different, although we went all-in on the feeling scale with no numbers at all (which I think is what the person you quoted was suggesting). Sure, there will always be a few idiots arguing about what numbers the "scores" translate to, but the fact that they can never seem to agree makes me happy. It probably helps that we never published the full scale (there was no need to since it's not an actual ranking, and also so that we can add or change them if we need to) and we don't give a shit about not being on Metacritic. We are on OpenCritic, which let's you opt out of number conversions.

Sure, but you'll never know when you've reached peak-enjoyment. In your situation, as soon as you've given out the top score, there's no where to grow into to provide the level of nuance you already mentioned when depicted as a number.

Complaining about C++ is almost a performance art in the games industry these days but I have yet to see anyone seriously make inroads into replacing it. I think the situation would have to get a very great deal worse before there was enough momentum built up to start moving off it. High performance computing still (often) uses FORTRAN and that language practically spits in your face every time you run the compiler. That's how much power inertia has.

Thread: Trailblazers - Announcement Trailer (F-Zero x Splatoon)
Thanks for the feedback you guys. Feels great to finally talk about our game! Don't know where the F-Zero comparison came from - it wasn't from us, although I'm flattered by it! Regarding speed, most futuristic racers rely on speed as a core part of their gameplay to make it exciting. Trailblazers isn't really like that. We are about second-to-second strategy, first and foremost. Our core gameplay and track design tenant is about giving players real strategic decisions to make every few seconds. The game throws decisions at you every 5 seconds or so, for example: do I drive on my paint and boost now, or instead paint a fresh part of the circuit and get more boost for later? Do I take the left or right split-route, based on my knowledge of which one was captured on my last lap? Maybe I veer off course to paint off-line for a teammate who is coming up fast behind me. Do I paint over the enemies colour now because I know there's a bad dude following me closely, looking to overtake... But if I paint, that cancels my boost... giving the other guy the potential to drive smart, avoid my paint and boost around me. Do I blast the guy in front of me with a forward-firing paint attack, or save my paint supply to cover the big straight at the end of the circuit? Anyway, you get the idea... We're injecting a level of strategy into the core gameplay that's pretty different to other arcade racers. Speed is obviously a factor in this, but it's not the only thing that makes our game fun. Hope that goes some way to explaining our thinking! Ben (Supergonk)

Thread: Indie Game Development |OT 2018| Come, help, learn, show and tell!
Whelp, my November project is no longer a single month project. :) I was really hoping to make my self-imposed deadline but unfortunately some personal things came up and I just couldn't find the motivation nor energy to work on it for a few weeks. But this weekend I finally got some motivation to start working on it again, so I spent the weekend trying to figure out where I left off and completely re-doing my architecture to be less gluey and hacky. I also realize that I hadn't posted anything new before I decided to take my hiatus cause I was focusing on my deadline, but the game actually feels like a proper cohesive game now which is nice! Some of the things I got done before my hiatus include a game-over screen with some dynamic witty banter depending on how well you did, adding a game timer for extra motivation, and changing up the scoring system. Ah, and some enemy guys that patrol around and moving platforms. And a main menu... and some sounds my friend at work made for me since I'm 100% dreadful with everything audio related! At this point according to my little task board I've got to figure out a gameplay tutorial, fix some animation logic, finish adding a better 'jump charge' indicator, and add some more platform groups so the level generation algo has a bit more to work with. I had a single-player build on my phone and let some people play around with it on my hiatus and the feedback was pretty good! It was a lot of fun watching them play it, and the overall reception was really positive apart from a few people wanting it more apparent how much jump you've charged up, which I was already planning on adding. If you work with Java daily picking up c# should be a piece of cake! At a previous job of mine C# and Java engineers would swap projects if needed since they are so similar; they could get up and running very quickly without any hassle. Also worth noting that you can use custom DLL's with Unity projects, so if some parts of your code base absolutely need to be C++ it's always a possibility. I'd highly recommend just downloading both, trying them out and seeing which one you like best/will fit your needs. What works for someone else may not necessarily work for you, so taking a test run to see which feels the best to you is always a great starting point. I'm not super familiar with the post proc system, but I think you can specify what layers you want each post-proc layer to affect? The camera trick might work too, unfortunately I haven't really used the new post proc system yet so I can't really speak from personal experience :(

Yep! Macbook Pro here and it works great for everything I need. So far haven't run into any issues with any of my Unity projects with it, working in both 2D and 3D. And another mini-update on my goofy little jumping game, actually made quite a bit of progress this week... albeit a bunch of small things. First off I added support for moving platforms now. They're fully configurable in my little editor tooling so that's nice, should be able to re-use the waypoint system for one of the hazards I have planned as well which would be ace. I also did a quick test of my game state/game settings manager by making a quick player 2 configuration and throwing two players into the settings to see what would happen. Surprisingly enough, it worked with however many players I added in there pretty flawlessly as long as they have spawn points waiting for them. No errors or anything, so I'm glad I future proofed that. And last but not least I added artwork for the invincibility pick-up, finally. There are still some low-hanging fruit that need to be taken care of, like 2 hazards and lots of artwork, but at this point the biggest thing is just level design and lots of play testing to make sure everything is balanced and I've got the hazards and pickups to a point where they keep things interesting. I'm hoping to just put my head down, spend a couple days focusing on level design and balance so I can get a test flight build out to some of my coworkers with just the single player mode enabled so I can get some external feedback. We'll see how quickly I get distracted, though :D

Gawww, everybodies progress and projects are looking killer. Great work everyone! Was able to get a bit of progress on my little endless jumping mobile game over the weekend, not as much as I'd like but you win some you lose some. Some kind of invisible plumbing stuff was completed so I can pretty easily compose gameplay by tweaking some variables in a Scriptable Object, so that was pretty sweet. Then I also updated my platform group helper script to allow for visualising eventual hazards and pick ups, and best of all it now handles loading previously created platform groups so I can tweak them easily! I also kept cracking on my initial (and hopefully only) implementation of hazards/player pickups. They're supported by my platform group creation script as well as my level generation script, and I've done it in such a way that I can add new ones super easily. I went ahead and added 3 to get me started: bonus points, invincibility for a few seconds, and a jetpack one that shoots you upwards at speed for a few seconds. I still need to add some 'active state' visuals for the pickups (like a force field for the invincibility), but glad that I was able to get some good first ones implemented super quickly. Contemplating whether to add visualisations for the jetpack in my platform group creation script so I can work it into level design with exact measurements, but if I want to keep this as a September-only project it may make sense to stop endlessly adding more functionality to my editor tools and start actually focusing on getting some content added.. Also a bit noticeable in the above snippet is I've refactored my screen shake script to use perlin noise for a bit more even distribution, so hopefully its a bit easier on the eyes. Next up is 'active state' visuals for the invincibility and jetpack pickups, support for moving platforms, and two more hazards: An alcohol one which will apply a fun shader that will make everything all wavy and a deadly bird that flies back and forth using some sprites I already had created for a different game. After that I swear I'm going to start working on level design/content. Maybe.

Thread: Indie Game Development |OT 2018| Come, help, learn, show and tell!
In the interests of speeding up creation of platform groups/sections for the vertical levels in my goofy little jumping game I tweaked my platform creation editor script to allow for visualisation within the Unity scene view, editing in the scene view, and snapping all platforms to the 16 pixels-per-unit pixel grid. Very happy with the result. These get saved to asset files which get read by the level generation algorithm, which then generates each group on-demand using the pool of instantiated objects and the meta data from the asset, namely each platforms width and x, y position. Also fleshed out the first hazard a bit more. Need to finish up adding support for placing these in the level generation algorithm, but that shouldn't be too hard. Still need to add some particle effects to it, particularly the warm up state but pleased with it for now.

Thanks much! They can be very fiddly and boring/repetitive to make due to the unity editor API but afterwards it's very rewarding, particularly if it's something that really speeds up your iteration time.

Thread: Indie Game Development |OT 2018| Come, help, learn, show and tell!
Hopefully the youtube embed is working otherwise this post will look super goofy :D I feel like every single post I did in the previous thread was about a different project, so I'm continuing that theme with yet another new project I've been working on for the past week or so. It's not to the level of the rest of your guys' content, but it's just a super simple mobile jumping game that I'm trying to get done before end of month, polished or not. Idea being maybe if I give myself an end date it'll force me to stick with it. I started out last week by blocking out a simple level generation script that grabs a list of pre-configured platform groups/sections and then returns a giant array with randomised group selections. From there it just iterates through one section at a time and adds triggers for loading the next/previous section and unloading the current section so I can use object pooling. It's using 3 or 4 really short/crappy groups currently so I could test the loading/unloading triggers easily, so there isn't much variation in the groups currently. One of these days I'm going to set aside to just make longer more considered sections. Over the weekend I dabbled with shaders to make a little rainbow trail thing for the player. There's a collider that wraps the trail, idea being in local multiplayer you will have to avoid the other player + their trail, so it makes it a bit of a battle to stay up front. I also added a spooky fog that chases you up as well as some quick little UI things. And yesterday I did a lot of tweaking to all of my scripts to try and get more pixel-perfect visuals, so lots of updates to everything to only move things in multiples of the active pixels-per-unit value. I also added screenshake and blocked out one of the hazards that will appear in some of the sections; a full-width beam of death. It's not much but at my current pace I should be able to get a semi-completed thing by my deadline of end-of-November, so I'm relatively pleased with it. Hoping to get more of the hazards sorted out this week as well as start focusing on creating actual designed segments so I can stop using my placeholder platform groups.

This! I know a couple people who have ran into a lot of problems trying to adapt pre-packaged character/movement controllers to how they wanted their game to feel, and it wound up causing more trouble than it was worth. They're good learning tools though, and I'd absolutely recommend just playing around with some of them and looking at how they're made so you have a good understanding of how they work and the different approaches you can take to make your own that suits your needs. Also, goes over creating your own 2D platformer physics and handling collision yourself and it's excellent. It might also give you a better idea of how Rigidbody's work under the hood!

Thread: Europe-ERA, are you ok? It's snowing...
Plenty of times in the US I saw full sheets of ice from the roof of cars sliding off with the wind on to incoming traffic, as well as a flurry of snow blowing from it. I completely agree. I'll up it one more tho. Only in Troy NY did I ever experience the wrath of me shoveling my car out nicely, clearing sidewalks, while most neighbors would not, and saw cars rock themselves out of the snow where they were parked to park on the clear spot I had just shoveled. The fury. They didn't shovel at all... just go park where it's already nice and clear. Glad this doesn't happen where I am at so far. Finland seems to be pretty good at adding the gravel and sand everywhere, and they keep the roads nice and clear. I don't stumble on my way to anywhere because people didn't shovel their sidewalks. So good.

Sadly at release it won't have any pro enhancements. Except for the default standard of games running better on the pro. But I'll push to see if we can add some down the line as an update. The game is pretty immersive as is in VR. But the tangible nature of the controllers really make for a wonderful experience. Add a friend to coop and the feeling of isolation is gone and it's a lot of fun. Deffo the best way to play the game. Not sure what you mean about the floating hand. But you can hold ok to any surface, including your partner to float around. If you're ever visiting you should drop by. =) It's a pretty small team but it's also one with a lot of experience and diversity. So it makes for some fun dev and ideas.

Thread: PCVR Game Discussion Thread - A New Era of Gaming
ah, that's tough to say... i think its a bit more shooting than anything else. Horus Station is kinda big so traversing the ship would be second time-consuming thing. Puzzles are simple so i would not think those are a time sink. There is quite a bit of narrative embedded into the station, so if you do explore and pay attention you'll probably get a better payout when it comes to understanding whats going on. There is a dev diary coming soon i think about the design, i'll post it here when its out. I think it talks about this. EDIT: To add an example. We have a preview of the first act where our designer flies by the whole main part in around 20 mins. But most people that have play tested the game have taken around an hr or a bit more. Some people do like to inspect and read things, others might have a different pace. In coop it'll usually be pretty long exp as well.

We had a thing where with any jitter, or getting to close to a wall would bounce me back involuntarily, that would bring a major headache. So i can understand that. There are just a lot of little things that might add to the feeling. Also the speed at which you move might trigger it. Messing around with values of the game did that to me quite a bit. From too fast, to the sudden stop of flying into a wall. I dunno if i can stand more now that i am used to it, but i do know that Horus was made with that in mind so its lesser to an extent. I like the teleport mode tho but its a bit jarring.

Are you new to VR? When i first started to work on VR i think the first couple of times i got the worst headache ever. There is a ramp of endurance that i had to build up. Now its not a problem. DS was designed to minimize the nausea feeling with the locomotion we use, so it might just be your sensibility to using the design. That, or maybe the pressure of the headset on the bridge of your nose? I know when i started using the headset, depending on the one it would get some uncomfortable feeling until i got used to the hardware.

I guess its just a known issue of the tech. So i am not really sure how dependent of the model this is and so on. You would have to look for your specific model and see if there are lots of people complaining about it. Choosing a new TV like this is such a chore haha. The HDMI cable should have the info on the box or the information. Where are you buying from? Those ones i linked are pretty good and they work with everything super well, so at least they are vetted. I am sure you're super excited to get the TV already. :D I have to say that Dolby Vision is quite a looker. Even on Netflix with the slight compression, it looks pretty amazing.

At home we have some blinds... but i still leave a soft flannel blanket on top when i go to work if its a super sunny day. haha. The time i noticed i had gotten some stains in it i freaked out. Pixel Refresher worked on my set, but not sure if that is an option that works all the time. Specially if its an overtime stain. Amm... as far as the HDMIs it all depends. as long as it supports the 2.2 handshake and is good quality any kind will do. These are pretty good and i've had no issues. They're also sturdy. Whenever you have HDR outpout your TV should let you know with a prompt that its running in HDR. Which TV do you have? I have the LGC7, i don't think it tells me the resolution change tho, and for me to get information on the screen i have to use an app on the phone since they ditched the info button on the controller. Which is super dumb. Apps like Amazon Prime do let you know what you're streaming so that is always nice. When you go to settings you should be able to see those options.

Do you have a source for the not playing on the tv? is there any particular reason? i have not heard this before, maybe they want you to have someone calibrate it before being used? When i got mine I had to wait for my move to deliver my gaming stuff so I only had access to youtube and netflix and i used to that semi calibrate the tv. Once i got my tv and consoles i set up everything properly, but no idea how much time i spent on the tv before that happened. Something that you should be aware of that scared the crap out of me on the TV was sun stains. Just try to not leave the tv in direct sunlight or where sun bounces hard on to it. I just refreshed the pixels and that did the trick when i got an aura but it scared the shit out of me.

Thread: Magic Leap One augmented reality goggles finally revealed
A little context first. I've tried and own most of the major VR stuff and tried HoloLens both at its reveal and later at its first E3 showing, but not since. The headset is by far the most comfortable and the Lightpack solution slipped into my jeans pocket and I forgot about it after a few minutes. My sense, keeping in mind that I could compare Magic Leap side-by-side with anything else, is that it looked much better than an overlay. Certainly much better than any AR experienced through a phone. In terms of HoloLens, there's quite a gap between when I saw the two, but I feel like Magic Leap offered a more substantive visual. It felt more real, if that makes sense. I didn't get to try any Magic Leap games, which was a bummer, but the stuff I did try was very promising. It's also worth noting all of this took place in a very, very controlled environment. The demo room was large, dim and free of real world distraction.

It's amazing how racist some old cartoons are. Equally amazing, how they weren't (at least publicly) considered racist at the time and shown to kids. I grew up watching some of this sort of stuff without having any idea. Shows and movies like Song of the South, Heckle and Jeckle, Popeye, Dumbo, Jungle Book, some Loony Tunes. The key, though, is that most people these days get that yes, this was some super racists shit. There's a reason Disney buried Song of the South. And it was a good one.

Hey everyone (but MutantMagnet :/ :\ :<) Thanks for the kind words. I think Variety's decision to expand to full-blown gaming coverage is fantastic. I start Monday. It may have been lost in the PR that went out, but I'll continue to oversee big semi-regular features for Rolling Stone, like my GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE ON MAGIC LEAP'S UNVEILING (coughMutantMagnetcough) :D :D In terms of Glixel the brand. I believe it won't live on at Rolling Stone and it's not coming over to Variety. Social channels will maybe stay alive though. Worth noting that PMC owns both Variety and Rolling Stone.

Thread: Wristwatches |OT| Keeping time with class
I am a huge digital watch nerd. Well, I'm not huge (yet) but my nerdom for digital watches is. While I love mechanical watches (my great grandfather was a watch repairman long long ago), my interest in digital watches started when my parents decided to give me a Casio GM-10 as a sort of sorry-we're-getting-divorced present. It was stolen shortly after I moved from S. Korea to Texas, but I owned it long enough to fall in love with the Casio design and in particular watches that did things beyond telling time. I have a pretty substantial collection of smartwatches and a few gaming watches. (I also wrote a fun story about the long, long history of gaming on your wrist back when I was at Polygon.) These days I'm also into hybrids, which are often mechanical watches with some neat low-end smart watch features. I absolutely love the Kronaby watches.

I finally finished the main game today, and had an absolute blast the whole time through. I found one other tiny bug; where I got stuck while looking at a postcard and couldn't exit. Luckily, I made a save of my game and that forced me out of the item view, and back into main gameplay. I played the majority of the game on my TV with the Pro Controller. Kind of seems silly to play this version of the game on the big 4K TV, but I didn't even care; I was having too much fun! Still pretty amazed to see how well this translated to the Switch. I've bought all three of Bethesda's ports, and have thoroughly enjoyed each one.

I must say, I am enjoying the absolute heck out of this game. I played Wolf2 on PS4 to a point last November, but because of the initial difficulty weirdness, and the fact that I just don't think I was in the mood for it, I flaked out about 30% of the way through. Got excited for the Switch release after listening to the soundtrack nonstop, and now I'm about 70% through the game and loving every moment. I have a 4K TV en route to me today, so it probably have made sense to get it again for my PS4 Pro, but a good game is a good game, even in 540p. :-) I just can't stop playing, and am having a grand ol' time.

Thread: If all the major Sony titles are "the same" what do you think they should do next gen?
I'd like to see more vibrant, creative games. Games that feel that they've been brought to life from a comic book. Ratchet and Clank and Spiderman feel that way, but we've lost a lot of cool, colourful titles like Wipeout, Motorstorm, Jak, Sly Cooper, etc. I think they're sitting on a gold mine with some of these IPs, and they should be looking for ways to leverage them with third party developers.

Thread: Understanding What's Happening on Screen: What Issues Do You Encounter When Spectating Esports?
I'm working on an article that's writing about video game spectatorship from the perspective of usability and understandability. Anecdotally, I often hear people report issues that they encounter following what's going on on the screen. One of the bars go to in Brighton often streams matches from the Overwatch League, and despite various improvements, people still frequently report difficulty understanding what exactly is happening at any one time. Similarly, I've heard people struggle to follow the action in Rainbow Six Siege. I've always found things like fighting games easy to follow. Particularly games like Street Fighter and Tekken, which don't have a myriad of hidden bars and systems. Although spectators might not appreciate all of the mechanics behind a combo, or special move execution, they can easily get an understanding of what's happening on screen. They can tell who is winning or losing in an instant. But within other genres, like FPS, where each player has their own perspective, people experience more difficulty keeping track of what's going on, especially those that are new to the game. With this in mind...

I find even CS and similar have their issues. Yes the action is inherently more readable because the maps are quite clear, but in some instances everything happens so quickly that it's inherently difficult to give the spectator a clear perspective of everything that's going down. I've seen rounds before where I've watched the player I'm spectating get shot, then suddenly it's all over. Everyone on one team is dead in a moments notice.

Thread: Why are there no famous indies similar to Mario 2D?
I think the closest things are games like these... Rad Rogers Giana Sisters Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood Shovel Knight Mickeys Castle of Illusion Rayman Origins & Legends LittleBigPlanet series In general I think indies who want to make their own games want to make slightly more ambitious titles. I don't mean to say that in a way that discredits the Mario games, but often indies have a story to tell or some epic plan for their intertwining level design. I'm not saying it's easy to design traditional Mario styled games, but I think it's more challenging to design a good metroidvania. Backtracking is a pet peve of many players so to design a game which interlinks and flows naturally, affording good pacing is inherently difficult.

Posted my impressions before and they were quite negative, but I'm coming around to the game. Having a lot of fun with the overall world, and love exploring. Doesn't bother me so far that I need to do sidequests in between main missions, particularly because there are so many of them, and you can do all sorts of other activities too. I really like avenging random people online, I think it's a neat feature that adds a fair amount of replayability to the game. The visuals still bug me a bit. Even on the PS4 PRO and ONE X, there's quite a bit of aliasing. Not sure why they couldn't afford a good AA solution. I'd sacrifice framerate for it, if needs be.

It's more about the general presentation of the game. I personally didn't find BOTW stutters and freezes during combat, the framerate may be inconsistent, but I wouldn't say it stutters and freezes, at least now for me. In AC the issues are more persistently glaring, such as generally poor animation. Heck, on one of the early cutscenes on a sidequest with a child, I had a torch out before the cutscene, at the start of the cutscene there was a floating torch in front of my character, for a moment, which then extinguished. The game is just full of weird jank like that, that I personally, just haven't seen in other games. As for Watch Dogs, I don't know. I found it to be pretty polished overall, bare in mind I'm playing all of these on a PRO, and overall found Watch Dogs 2 kept a good framerate. It also features consistently good animations, and generally top notch visual presentation throughout the game.

Thread: Assassin's Creed Origins |OT| Stalking in Memphis
So, in terms of stealth I haven't played the game all that much. There are obvious pros and cons to being able to OHK people, regardless of their level. I imagine players that enjoyed AC for its stealth gameplay, and don't appreciate the RPG mechanics, would have preferred a game where they could just focus on what they enjoy. An issue, I would say. Is that while you can take out a camp of higher level enemies in combat, simply by avoiding their attacks, to my knowledge (bearing in mind I'm not too far into the game) you cannot take out the camp, via stealth. This thereby, biases the players playstyle towards all out combat, because while hard to take on tougher foes, at least it's possible (unlike stealth, where you don't kill them, and they reveal you). Either way, I have not felt that this games stealth was remarkably better than that of its predecessors (but not explicitly worse either). Something else to bare in mind is that I skipped Syndicate and Unity. I'm not sure if the game does have better AI. In my experience I've already had a tremendous number of issues with AI pathfinding across uneven, rocky surfaces. Yes, I do think what Ubisoft output here is technically inadequate. It doesn't meet the standards of the triple A games that are popular in the market right now, titles like Breath of the Wild, Odyssey, Horizon, GTA, and even some of Ubisoft's own like Watch Dogs 2. In terms of content and scope, it's all there in Origins, but the polish isn't. One of the most obvious examples of this are the games animations, they stuttter, slide and generally lack the weight and pacing that they should posses, it looks like they're using crudely cleaned up motion capture data, and that just isn't something that happens unless your game is rushed out of the door.

Thread: Assassin's Creed Origins |OT| Stalking in Memphis
Playing this on a PS4 PRO and it really doesn't look all that great. Perhaps the biggest problem is the general visual inconsistency. Even though some objects look nice, others look awful or poor. It's not just texture resolutions either but things like animations, which often stutter as if they're using motion capture data which hasn't been cleaned up appropriately, or clipping, where your outfits clip into the environment, appearing awkward. Even if some of the game looks decent, when taken holistically, it just underwhelms. It doesn't come close to games like Horizon. Heck, even if we ignore how bad it often looks in motion, it falls far short of looking anything like what games like Horizon, or even Ubisoft's own Wildland's offers. It seems as though Ubisoft's engines are faultering, struggling to keep up with the rest of the industry, at the same time, their development studios are stuggling to push out new titles at the rate that's expected of their franchises, while maintaining a high level of polish. Ghost Recon Wildlands', Assassins Creed, Far Cry 5 all have their share of issues. In general, Far Cry 5 (which I played at EGX) gave similar vibes, with underwhelming technical performance. Technical quality aside, story and gameplay just seem okay. The reinvented combat system is nothing to rave about, it's a lock on system that works, but visual fluidity is often cumbered by the aforementioned awkward animations. Stealth is the same as it always was, perhaps a little worse now, since you can't always OHK a guard due to level based differences between you and him. I mean, overall the game is fine. It looks okay despite some occasional jankiness, it plays well enough to be enjoyable, and the new RPG systems add compelling depth to the games progression that wasn't present in the previous entries. It's worth playing if you like AC, but it doesn't represent the progression that the series really needs right now if Ubisoft want it to remain relevant.

I imagine a lot of users avoid using it to discover new content, and only use it to buy games they're already aware of. The stores poor usability likely causes Sony to lose millions of $ per year.

Best counters are Makoa, Androxus and Jenos, as they have moves that pass through the shield. You can get an incredible amount of damage through his shield with Androxus by using reversal on Terminus' ultimate attack. 3000 damage right back at him, and he'll usually die all over again.

Thread: Your controversial gaming opinions?
It's just my opinion but, for me, it has a really high skill ceiling with the timing based boost mechanics, and the way that boost can be stored briefly. Mario Kart touched upon similar mechanics with double dash and ds, which are the best MK games, but the waggling to boost always felt a little crude, and in general, I just preferred the timing based mechanics of CTR. As far as graphics go, I think CTR looks pretty nice. Less smooth than Diddy Kong racing perhaps, but it has a lot more detail. Comparing it to Diddy Kong Racing, the tracks are also a lot more intricate, and the game itself, has much more mechanical depth. Diddy Kong is a feature packed game, but the handling model isn't especially good and there's no intricate mechanics for advanced players to enjoy moment to moment (no drift / boosting system). Additionally, the powerup system isn't all that much fun either, with a set of useless weapons at the lower tier that need to be powered up to have any major effect. Diddy Kong's weapons lack the catchup mechanics that CTR and Mario Kart do (the blue shell and similar items) and that makes the game inherently, far less accessible. If someone is worse at the game, they are just worse at the game and they're going to suffer in 12th place for it. In DKR if you're in first you can just focus on the blue balloons and run the same lap over and over again till you win. It just doesn't have the same dynamics as these other kart racers. One game that doesn't come up in this comparison very often or at all is Speed Freaks on the PS1. I think that game is also better than MK64. Really fun, really nice graphics (probably better than any of the games we've listed) and in general it's just got a lot of personality.

Thread: DatingEra - This isn't like one of your animes
My girlfriend came home upset last night, I was playing some online video game at the time and didn't initially notice she was upset and made my housemate answer the door to her. As soon as I saw her though, I could tell something was wrong, so I dropped out of my multiplayer game and told her to talk with me upstairs. She was upset, feeling that she's being bullied at work. I sat with her for a couple of hours, tried to cheer her up and whatnot, mostly just by listening to her and being affectionate. I went to make dinner for us both after that, and during dinner she decided to tell me that she loved me. I haven't said this to her yet, and I didn't know what to say. I do like her, but at the same time I don't think that everything is perfect with our relationship. I kind of get the impression that she uses me from time to time. Like, sometimes I'll have had a bad day, come home from work and she'll want me to cook dinner for her. I do it, and she'll complain that something wasn't right about it, or something like that. I've spoken to her about this type of thing, but I'm not certain I can feel like I love someone that treats me like that on a pretty regular basis. I told her that I have treated her as though I loved her since we met, I asked her if she felt loved, and she agreed, and I told her that I just didn't want to say it until I felt everything was right with us, explaining those issues. She said she felt embarrassed and wanted to take it back, said that she felt vulnerable and I made her feel safe, so she said she loved me without thinking. I didn't really pay much attention to this. I don't think you can really undo what you've said in that kind of circumstance. In any case, when I left her to go to work this morning she said 'I do love you', so I don't think there's any ambiguity there. Truth be told, I'm happy with her, I enjoy her company, but I don't honestly know if I'll ever, consistently feel like I love her. Sometimes I feel it, but it's not as easy as it has been in relationships in the past. I suppose the thing is, although I make her feel loved, she doesn't make me feel that way - the way she acts, doesn't make me feel like she cares for me at times. Ironic then, that she said it first.

Thanks for the reply. It's something I'll have to think about. She can be really kind, in the past she's made dinner for myself and 10+ friends, but in general those gestures are more isolated, coming from her. She displayed a lot of passionate and emotional affection, but not physical in terms of going out of her way to do something nice for me. I don't mind looking after the girl that I'm with, especially emotionally, but I'm not really interested in running petty errands for her and whatnot. It's in fairly stark contrast to my ex, who used to do things like write little notes and sneak them into my pockets, made sure she took care of everything if I had a hard day, etc. I'm not sure if it's right, or wrong to expect that type of thing, but generally I expect to take care of my partner, and the same in turn. Actually, I don't think whether your damaged or not really has a lot to with it. While my ex's were all damaged in certain ways, they were all very different in terms of how they behaved, how caring they were, etc. Everyone's different and they respond and recover from their trauma in different ways.

Quite a while since I've spoken about this, but I took the girl (Amy) I've been seeing to meet my family last weekend. It's quite a way away and I don't see my family very often so it's kind of a big deal for me. They've only seen one of my ex's before and that was the girl I was engaged to. Anyway, Amy had a really good time, my mum and her got on quite well. We had a conversation afterwards, about how I'm supposed to be moving away to Canada, and neither of us really want to be apart. We talked about it at length and I suggested I would delay my application and wait for her to get a Visa herself (there's no reason she isn't eligible for one). We've started living together too. She's been at my house for the past 20 days or so, and we're both really comfortable being around each other without any major issues. So we're going to get a flat together and save money to go travelling in South America. I'm sure some of you think this sounds silly, as I've only known her for 3-4 months, but I've made a lot of impulsive decisions in my life and none of them have lead me anywhere that I didn't want to be. Not all of them have been the right decision, but I've always been able to figure things out. Staying in Brighton an extra year isn't going to kill me, I have my dream job here and my colleagues are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and I'd like to go to Montreal with this girl if everything works out. If it turns out that we don't get on after a few more months, and living together doesn't work out, I can adapt and change my plans. She's a nice girl and I like her a lot. She's happy to travel with me, wants children and a family just like I do. She plays video games I like, enjoys the cinema, cartoons and various TV shows that I like too. Similar taste in food, music, and she's generally kind a kind hearted person. She's also strong willed and has a mind of her own, which I really like as this was something my ex lacked. Hopefully I'm making the right choice. I spoke to my work about it, and they were actually much more supportive and understanding than I expected. They told me it was all good and that they were happy for me, but to also ensure I keep pursuing the opportunity. I do still want to go to Montreal, and I'm not throwing that away for her, I'm just accommodating her into my life.

Conversation about self harm went better than I anticipated. We were in a bar and mid conversation she pointed at my arm and said, what are these? Did you used to self harm? It was a bit of an awkward place to talk about it, not private at all, but I didn't want to lie. I said "Yes, that's what they are, I used to cut myself". She smiled and told me that she did too. Down her legs, but the scars have healed. She said it was a fashion thing because she was a goth, I said that didn't make sense. Girls cut their legs to conceal the scars, not because it's fashionable. She smiled and hugged me, and we carried on with dinner. She seemed really happy that evening.

The girl I'm seeing was having issues with her wisdom teeth last night, lots of pain. I'd not seen her like that before, and she was kind of closed off at first, asking me to leave her be and simply curling up into a fetal position. I talked to her about it, and told her that I was used to looking after people. Like my mother did for me when I was a child. She couldn't sleep as a result of the pain, so I got her pain killers and stroked her hair for 2 hours to help distract her from it. She was pretty enamoured by my support. Like she'd never seen anything like it. Isn't it normal? If someone you're with is in pain I'd always do anything to try and make it better for them. We actually ended up having sex a little while after. In my experience sex is actually a really good painkiller.

It doesn't take much 'thinking' to decide to be speculative of someones responses when a pose a scenario where they have only one viable response. Not to say it really matters though, I would just remain cautious of any signs that they were becoming attached to me if that wasn't what I wanted. Many of the women I've been out with didn't have anything at all in their Tinder profiles. I wouldn't think much of it, though I do find it easier to connect with people that have details in their profile. I've also not encountered a bot on Tinder. I wonder if it's based on your location / where you're searching for partners? Or maybe I just don't swipe on those kind of profiles.

If you ask her out over a telephone support line you could probably lose your job. As a support technician I'm sure you have access to a lot of her details, her number, her address perhaps, etc, none of which she has given you so that you can try to initiate any romantic advances. Situations you're in create things like this: where the guy clearly gets the wrong idea, and breaches the woman's privacy. How do you to bump into someone by coincidence? That doesn't make much sense to me. I guess if I was in that situation I might give her my personal number and let her initiate something if she's interested. But I wouldn't make an advance, and I wouldn't to bump into someone and call it a coincidence.

I don't think she's necessarily conflating the two. Obviously she does have less experience, but I think that often just makes it easier to feel, that doesn't mean that those feelings aren't genuine. Two of my long term relationships started with the girl telling me she loved me within a month of us dating, and both of those relationships were pretty healthy (breaking up after two and five years, because we both wanted to go in different directions with our lives). Either way, if you dismiss how she feels, treat her as if she's inexperienced, and that her feelings are wrong, generated only as a result of her inexperience, then it'll likely turn out pretty badly for both of you.

What else would she say. If I get knocked back by girls they tend to say they aren't looking for a relationship right now, and I tend to tell them I'm relieved because I wasn't either. Inversely, I've had girls do the same to me, when they were looking for a relationship and I've expressed not being interested. I'm not saying that what she said isn't necessarily true, but I wouldn't take things like that at face value. If she wanted a relationship, by expressing that you didn't, you place her into a position where her doing anything but agreeing makes the connection between the two of you feel inequal.

I find it's not just about the fear of rejection with women but the fear of failure in life generally. It's better if you can let go of your inhibitions. One of the things that helped me with that as a kid was skating, getting used to falling over in public if I made a mistake. It helped me not care about what people think, or whether I fail. Will Smith's advice is somewhat generic in that video, but it's pretty on point. You have to live at the edge of your capabilities, at the point where you feel uncomfortable, because that's how you grow and adapt.

You have to start seeing doing better as success. Take dating for instance, let's say you're an anxious person. If you find yourself really anxious on your first date with a girl, then if you can reduce that feeling of anxiety, and talk a little more freely, then that's a win. If you connect with the girl, that's a bonus, the point is that you're developing in a forward direction, you have to learn to take gratification from that.

Do you mean another dating app? OKCupid is pretty popular, and in general I found it easier to talk to people on there. Less hookups on OKC, more people looking for relationships (in my experience).

With that said, I got more dates from tinder, just because there are more people. The people on OKC are in my experience, easier to strike conversation with, but there's just a lot less people on there than there is on tinder. Yeah, feel free to share your experiences here.

Still seeing that girl I mentioned before. Still planning on leaving Brighton to move to Montreal. Still don't really see any possible future for the relationship. Both of us aware of this, and growing progressively more attached to one another. It feels kind of messed up to pursue this, and spend so much time together, but I'm having a good time with her. I enjoy talking to her, I enjoy playing video games with her, I enjoy sex and intimacy with her.

We actually tend to talk about it to some extent, every time we meet up. There's no ambiguity that if my Visa application goes through successfully, I'm going to leave. Are you sure a relationship can't be a good thing, even if it'll hurt in the end? Short term relationships aren't a terrible thing to get involved in, as far as I'm aware.

It doesn't mean it's a hard market for dudes at all. It's actually hard for girls too. The reason they have 70% match rates is because the majority of men I know that use tinder, swipe right on every single girl. This then makes the whole 'match' system' useless for women. It doesn't mean they like you, it doesn't mean they want to go out with you, it doesn't mean anything beyond that they saw your profile. The girl might have 370 messages waiting for her, but any guy she messages back has also messaged 370 different girls (on average, in that scenario). The guy will only decide if they actually like that girl, once the girl replies to the message, because then the girl is interested, and then the ball is in your court to decide if your even interested in her. Quite a few of the girls I was going out with over the last few months talked to me about how useless the app was, in detail. The girl I'm seeing at the moment, showed me her tinder, she had 170 messages that just said 'hey', 'hi' or other copy and pasted shit. I asked her why she replied to me, and you could see, I was one of like, 2% of guys, that actually wrote her a personalised message. She described it as 'you seemed normal compared to the rest', and I didn't go into detail on that, but I suspect it's because I made an effort to relate to her in my first message, based on information on her profile. By swiping right on every girl, men effectively take control away from women on Tinder, as they only have to reply to those that are interested in them too. Women have the effortful minefield of actually looking at profiles and figuring out if they like the person, only to match with everyone and have none of them really mean anything. You can even get apps that will swipe right on every girl, and send pre-configured messages. This is more painful if you're an unattractive women, because you have several hundred matches and messages, and none of them really mean anything.

I ended up messaging Amy some more today, after she messaged me asking how my day was, but I guess I was a little negative. I was talking about how I might be moving away, and she was saying how she finds it confusing, but she's trying not to get attached to me. I told her I can't do that, I can't spend time with her and not get attached to her. She asked me if I wanted to stop seeing her, so that I don't get attached. I kind of ignored the question and answered something else she'd asked at the same time. She asked me if I wanted to see her tomorrow, I guess I didn't really reply. I mean. It's not like I ignored these questions for long, maybe a couple of minutes, I was going to reply to both of them... Either way, she called me. She sounded a little tearful. Said I was acting weird, and asked if I wanted to stop seeing her. She was stuttering a little bit as she was speaking. I told her I did want to keep seeing her, and that I was sorry for being weird. That I didn't mean to make it seem like I didn't want to see her, that I wanted to see her tomorrow. She seemed to cheer up / stop being awkward, we talked about Canada for a bit. She talked about how she would want to come too, but she talked about being worried that if she left, she couldn't come back, because she doesn't have family here. She joked that I should marry her. We ended the call, I sent her a message telling her that hearing her voice puts me in a good mood.

Something I would note is that ever since I started speaking to her, I told her I was moving. Within the first 20 messages or so, I made this clear. I didn't wait till she seemed attached to drop it on her. She knew I was leaving, and she chose to date me, exclusively. She chooses to spend weekends at my house. I'm not trying to hurt her, I do enjoy my time with her, a lot. And there is a L on my end. If I grow attached to her and I leave then that's going to hurt me too.

Well to be honest I would say I'm already pretty attached to her. I wouldn't spend 4/7 days of the week with her if I wasn't. I'm just as bad as she is, really. I shouldn't have started dating someone knowing I was planning on moving, and she shouldn't have dated someone that made it clear they were moving away.

I meant to reply to this sooner, sorry man. So, it really depends on your own personal taste but I find just being outgoing, and going to as many events related to things your interesting as possible really helps you meet new people. Just go into everything looking to make new friends, and you'll find you have lots of people to talk to, and then occasionally you'll meet a nice girl and you can try and approach her. Again, this is me, but I go to lots of gaming events and meet people through that. I go out with people from work, meet their friends, I go to Street Fighter tournaments, and gaming expos, I go to retro gaming nights at bars in town (there's quite a few that host this in Brighton), and it's easy to relate to people at those kinds of places because you have a shared interest. But for me, I have used a fair bit of online dating and like you said, cast a wide net. What I would recommend if you're not getting results is trying to do something to address that. I probably swiped over 3,000 women and got matched on 173 of them when I was using Tinder, but even if I was getting less, it'd still be productive, it just means it would take a little longer to find someone nice. The most important thing is just not giving up, and you don't have to spend much money to do that. I mean there's no real reason to spend money on something like tinder, except maybe on tinder gold if you live in a big city and want to swipe more. Obviously, you can also approach girls in bars, and clubs, but personally I've never done that and I've never had trouble finding a partner. For some people it makes sense, but for me I think it's hard to relate to people in those kind of places. A lot of girls there are looking for a one night stand and similar, and it's more difficult to discern what they're looking for, because some aren't even looking for dating at all (at least on tinder, the girls are usually single, for instance). Plus, personally I personally just find it faster to sift through people with online dating. Is there anything you could do to improve your online dating profile? Definitely try that too. Try some new photos, maybe go to the gym and work out, etc.

Well, I guess leverage isn't the right word, but in general I find sharing intimate things, personal details, makes me closer to that person, and them inclined to share things of their own, making them closer to me. I didn't mean that in a negative way, though usually I've found that with girls, if I do talk about things like that, they like the idea that they're the only person I talk about that type of thing with. So often if they're not immediately freaked out by it, it actually makes you closer. I just try and flip things into a positive generally, rather than a really terrible experience, it's a way to connect with someone. Sometimes, even help someone. With one of my ex's, who self harmed herself, it helped her a lot that I could understand it.

She's also asked a few times if I'm broken / damaged in any way. I say no, but she's said she kind of wishes I were because she likes having someone to support.

It's 100% a thing. I know a lot of girls that deliberately seek out partners with damaged pasts. Self-harm, depression, all sorts of shit like that, and try and 'fix them'. I think in some ways, these people expect that by fixing them, their partner will be more attached to them. Most of the girls I've been with have been really into that kind of thing, to be honest. I guess that's why I ended up moving on? If you're damaged and you fix them, then their self esteem is likely much higher, and they have the motivation to pursue what they want. With my ex, she helped me through depression and some other stuff, but after that, I guess I didn't feel like I needed her anymore. She was dependent on me, but I wasn't dependent on her... these type of people, I guess they look for a relationship where both partners will be co-dependent, but by 'fixing' their partner, they end up with a very one sided relationship which just doesn't work out. Nevertheless, I do quite like being with girls want to care for me or fix me.

Sorry if I caused confusion here but I didn't tell her I might be leaving with an intent to make any sort of 'play'. I made that fact clear to her on the first day I started speaking to her on whatsapp, I've always been transparent about it, I had just not mentioned it here before. When I first told her that she said 'well that gives me a few months to get to know you then xx'. Obviously, it is likely has helped escalate things a lot faster as she's aware I likely won't be here forever, I'm not oblivious to that.

So here's something that's always on my mind when dating, that I'm not sure how to approach with a new partner. When I was younger, I used to self-harm, so my right arm is covered in scars. In my experience, eventually, a girl will ask about this, and I don't want to lie. I wonder if it's better to bring it up, as if it's something I want to share, rather than wait till they notice and ask? Also, does anyone have any experience with a partner with that type of background? Do you think it's likely to bother a girl? It was quite some time ago, more than 6 years ago. My ex used to get really upset about it, every time she really looked at them, she used to burst into tears, and talk about how she wished she had known me before, so that none of that would have happened - I don't think she ever really understood, but at least she did not judge me negatively for it. In general I do like to share this type of thing, because it puts me at ease once I have, but I also worry that it could scare someone away.

Yeah, I was thinking that while I typed things out. With that said, the girl I'm currently dating, her father tried to kill myself when she was younger, and she walked in and found him. So ideally. I don't want her experiencing any PTSD related to that. So if she did get a little scared by it, I wouldn't blame her. With that said, as you say, it was a long time ago. With my ex, despite being really nervous about talking to her about it for the first time, I guess I actually leveraged it as a way to be closer to her. As if it was something that only she knew about me - making her feel as if she was my confidant. That's not really true since I've always found that talking is what actually made me a lot happier, even if it's just to reason out my own thoughts, but I think people like that kind of thing.

So I had a good time with Amy over the last couple of days. I had breakfast with her yesterday, and we hung out throughout the day, went to a few bars, and then in the evening I took her back to mine around 9. We just hung out in bed, watched television, had sex whenever we felt like it, and slept. Probably stayed in bed for about 20 hours before she and I had to go (I went to go see friends in Portsmouth, and she had a night out planned with her girlfriends) I think it's going pretty well. Something I didn't mention before, was that I actually don't necessarily plan on staying in Brighton. I might move to Canada soon (in the next few months). I think that could be one of the reasons she's a bit worried about falling for me. On the night we met up she spoke to me about this briefly, talking about being worried about falling for me, because I'm going to move away. I told her not to worry about it, and she said 'I know how to protect my heart'. When we were hanging out, she was often cuddling up to me, and during a couple of points I noticed her humming a song - it was Elvis', 'I can't help but falling in love with you'. She didn't generally hum anything, so I thought that was a bit weird. I got her food, and other stuff, so she didn't need to leave bed. I made her breakfast for when she woke in the morning, I knew her new shoes had given her blisters so I went to the shop and got her some plasters, as well as some icecream as I know she likes it. She mentioned "I'm so happy right now" a couple of times. I got a taxi back to hers, left her there and went to the station to go meet my friends. But before I was about to get into the taxi she grabbed me and we made out. Then she walked away, for a moment, turned around again, and grabbed me, and made out. She did this three times before I told her I needed to get into the taxi... not sure what to think of that, it was a slightly odd but felt good.

I get bouts of depression but I've learned to cope much better. I used to administer some cognitive behaviour therapies to patients on the stroke ward where I worked, and just reading a lot about it really helped me apply it to myself, and where I can I try to challenge my own negative thinking, and that keeps me going. But I have bad days, and I have to explain it to girls I'm with because my right arm is covered in scars from self-harm inflicted when I was younger. It might be harder to break out of that spiral of negative thinking with bipolar, I don't know. I've not worked with anyone with bipolar and I don't have it myself, but I guess reasoning away my negative thinking is how I try and deal with it. For instance I'm meeting this girl later today, we've been talking all over Christmas, chatting on and off, lots of phone calls, but there's part of me, in the back of my mind, that's constantly telling me that I'm not worth her time, that she doesn't really want to go out with me, that I generally have low value, as a human being. I have to sit there and say to myself, 'Why would she be going out with you if she didn't want to spend time with you?', she wouldn't say yes, she wouldn't smile when she sees me, she wouldn't spend the evening cuddling me, if she didn't want to be there. Then, thinking like that can help me get back on track... Sometimes it can be really crippling though. It's not just with dating of course, it's with anything, it was the same when I was doing my PhD, I felt like I didn't deserve to be there, that I was worthless and I'd never measure up, and it's hard to deal with that sometimes. For me, it's just about finding someone that's understanding of that type of thing. That's why I tend to date girls that have had quite a rough life, because they tend to be able to relate, they don't freak out about the self-harm. I tell them I'm not depressed anymore, but I used to be, and that sometimes I still have bad days. They tend to be pretty understanding of that and it doesn't really impact my dating or relationships all that much. I mentioned before that the girl I'm dating, her mother died when she was young, her father tried to commit suicide and left her to care for herself. My ex, she was orphaned when she was born, abandoned by her mother. The girl I dated before that had ran away from her parents as soon as she was 16. I find people like that, are very understanding, but also very strong, because of what they've been through. I don't know if any of that helps you but sometimes I know it can help just to hear about the experiences of others, so I thought I would share some of mine. Feel free to talk about anything you like here, I'm sure many of us are happy to listen or offer advice if you need it.

If a girl tells you she likes watching TV shows do you dislike it because you watch TV shows too? Gaming is as broad as any entertainment medium, listening to music, watching TV, reading. Just because they like doing the same type of activity doesn't mean it has to overlap with what you're doing. Just because a girl likes to play games, doesn't mean she has to play games with you, etc. With my ex, we used to have seperate TVs, and we used to play different games. She often played things like animal crossing on her 3DS, I would play Rainbow Six Siege on my PS4. But it was nice that we could both relate to what each other was doing pretty easily. That's just my perspective though, I'm not saying yours is wrong. Either way, I don't just date girls that play games, but if they don't like games, I won't date them. However, my profile on tinder, okc etc, always states my job title, and most girls aren't going to swipe right if they aren't at least okay with video games. On most of my first dates the girl has asked what my favourite video game is, it just tends to come up.

If I was an accountant I wouldn't be going home and being an accountant some more, though (not to say some might not have that inclination). Do you find yourself want to talk about accountancy with your dates? I think some people are different. Some people have their job, company, etc closely align with their sense of identity. Others don't. I think it's fine to be either, but if you're the former, then it's difficult to separate the two. It's like if you're an artist, but your other half didn't like your art... it means they don't like something that's a huge part of who you are. I don't really care if they're interested in my job specifically. I don't want to talk about the specifics of work most of the time. I don't want to talk about playtesting logistics, qualitative data analysis, behavioural observation, interview techniques, etc all that often. But at the heart of it, the subject of our research and my interests, is video games, that, I want to talk about. With that said, I do date girls that don't play video games - just so long as they don't hate hearing about them. Because I will talk about them from time to time, just as I'd expect them to talk about whatever they're into.

I feel like I'm gradually fucking things up with this girl. I mentioned earlier about my general anxiety in relationships, and the thing is, I tend to call / contact her a lot more than she does, me. She's always happy to talk, but sometimes she's a little flaky. I confronted her about it on the phone today, and it got a little awkward. I was having a pretty bad day today, I guess that's why I was talking about depression on here earlier, but I was really looking forward to meeting up with Amy. She called me from work today and asked if it was okay to cancel. I told her it was fine, but we called again later in the evening and I spoke to her about how I felt. I asked her if she actually wanted to meet up at all, and why it is, that in many instances when she does call, it tends to be to tell me she's blowing me off or something like that. I didn't say this to her, but if we arrange to do something at 7, then I plan my time around that. I clear my evening, and it to an extent, it hurts if someone just cancels like that. It feels as if they don't really value my time. She didn't really say anything, she just explained she felt tired and that she did still want to meet, that's why she rearranged, but she just needed to do some things (she mentioned some feminine stuff). She asked if I didn't want to meet her, and I said I did, and then she said we'll meet tomorrow then. I said that sounded good, but in general I figure I shouldn't have mentioned anything.

We've been on about 10-15 dates now, over the last 5-6 weeks. I know I overthink things, for sure. I apologised to her and said I was just having a shit day. With that said, it is annoying if a girl arranges a date, then cancels right before you're supposed to meet, especially if you've booked places to go, and things like that... maybe it's just me...

I think this stuff is just over thinking it, like I was, really. I guess I encouraged you to do that by describing it as if it was a big problem, but I think I was wrong for thinking too much about it. In the 5 weeks we've been together she's blown me off on two dates with the reasoning that 'she's tired and has things she needs to do' and always rearranged for the next day. I suspect, if anything, that's just a genuine reason. It's just me being an idiot. She said she'd come over tomorrow morning instead, I shouldn't think about it any more than that. For what it's worth, the dates have escalated pretty naturally, to sex and intimacy, and emotional intimacy, and no, we don't just hang out and talk about work or hobbies. Oh, and we are exclusive. I've just had a bad day. I lost my wallet yesterday, and I woke up in a terrible mood this morning, and then I guess I was thinking meeting up with her was going to cheer me up, but she cancelled and I just didn't react in a great way. I think it'll be okay.

It's not quite the same, because of how people often perceive the weight question. It's often seen as a sensitive subject, it relates to their self-esteem. In reality, the height question is arguably more offensive, because it's not something you can change. It's not something that might have stemmed from a lifestyle choice or anything like that. It's simply your genes. So to be dismissed because you're genetically inadequate relative to their standards (which admittedly is sometimes the same with weight) is pretty iffy. Both questions should be okay really. Why waste either persons time. If it's a big deal for either party then it's just easier if they know. With that said, I'd never ask a women her weight, or her height. It's usually well represented in her photos. If it isn't, then her photos were likely disingenuous, in which case I'm not interested anymore simply because she lied.

I don't really agree with this. I think it's perfectly fine to have an aesthetic type in mind when dating, and it makes sense to look for people that fit that. In either case, it's unlikely you'd ever know if it was your height that turned them off. Even the girls who have asked my height, have only asked 'out of curiosity', and when I've asked 'Why, does it matter?' they've said it doesn't. In reality, when I've pried later, they explained that it did actually matter, and they'd be very unlikely to date anyone shorter than them. Obviously, they've only been honest about that because at that stage, it doesn't matter, I'm taller than they are. In most cases, a girl won't even by that open. She'll just ghost you or tell you that she didn't really feel a connection, etc. In general, a girl doesn't want to hurt your feelings, so she isn't going to tell you that something you can't change is why she isn't interested in you romantically.

I don't think I could ever really ghost anyone. Like sometimes I just don't reply to one message and if the conversation dies then no big deal, but if they were actually trying to contact me I can't avoid replying. I'd feel bad, it doesn't really matter who they are or what they've done, I'd feel bad ignoring them. I'd much rather just confront the problem, personally, I know ghosting is seen as an easier way out of awkward situations but for me the idea that I just left someone without some type of closure that they might wanted is far more emotionally painful than the awkward conversation I could have with them.

The only time I've come close to ghosting anyone in the last few months was a Spanish girl. We seemed to get on well via chat and she asked me if I wanted to go out sometime. I said that sounded good and she told me she'd let me know when she was free on Monday. She didn't let me know until Thursday, and but then asked how I was. She sent a follow up message asking if I wanted to go out, and I didn't reply. She seemed sweet. Really upbeat and happy. Just thinking about it makes me feel awful, but I'd just started dating that Amy girl. Amy saw one of the messages on my phone when she was in my room and made a comment 'another girl?', and I just deleted the contact.

Bear in mind that it wasn't me with the issue. I was just offering my perspective. I know things like dinners, experiences etc are different. I wouldn't buy outright gifts for a girl like he did. Even if you have a lot of money, you get much more value out of it by spending your money on things that grant you access to shared experiences. Giving material gifts doesn't do much to bring most people closer together. And you're right, I'd never ask for it back.

The girl I'm seeing is the same height as me in heels. It's fine, but she mentioned that she'll wear shorter shoes when she's with me, because she likes to feel smaller. In general, it is a good feeling when she's a little smaller. When she's wearing flats she rests on my shoulder, it's cute, and just generally feels better, than when we're the same height...

I didn't say it was a random girl I just met. It's the girl I've been seeing over the last 4 weeks... the one that I've been playing video games with... the same one I bought Okami HD for. Her name is Amy. Are you surprised that she likes video games? Is it utterly unbelievable? Also, yeah it's not actually that hard to find a girl that's into gaming. My ex used to attend the gaming society at University, so I met her through that. I go to lots of video gaming events, etc, and you can meet girls there... but even on tinder, like there are plenty of girls on there that like games. On OKCupid you can filter by 'video games' and see what comes up (often nothing useful, but quite a lot if you live in a highly populated area). For what it's worth, I met Amy on tinder, she had a long bio, and listed video games as one of her interests. Yeah I really don't get it. Fuck, my sister loves the Witcher 3 too. I suppose she isn't real either? She even owns a load of Witcher 3 merch (mostly unofficial stuff I think). Most of my female friends like games. It's not a coincidence, people are drawn to people that they can relate to. I relate well to people that talk about games - and even if they're not quite the same type of games that I like, a lot of girls do like games, I don't know why that would surprise anyone.

Are any of you making new years resolutions related to dating / relationships? I changed myself a lot for my ex, so I'm making a resolution to kind of, undo all that. If that makes sense. When I met her I used to spend quite a bit of time going out with friends, drinking, and whatnot, she didn't like alcohol (because her mother abused her while drunk when she was young), so I stopped drinking. I wanted tattoos, but she really didn't like the idea of them, so I didn't pursue the idea. I used to want to go to the gym and focus on that, but she didn't really care about how I looked, and preferred I spent the time with her, so I didn't bother. My sister is my personal trainer at the gym now, she's really into fitness stuff, so it works pretty well. Going to resolve to keep at that, and it keeps me in touch with my sister, which is great. I've started saving tattoo designs I like, and I'm going to get a quote for one sometime this month - then start saving to pay for it. Drinking again, with my friends in Brighton was actually part of what contributed to the breakdown of the relationship with my ex and I, so I've got that one covered. But in general I'm resolving to work towards pushing myself into the direction I wanted to be, and away from the direction that she moulded me into over that 5 year relationship. I think it's a good resolution and working out at the gym has obvious health benefits.

Yeah, this. Just talk to her and don't be weird if she doesn't reciprocate because I'm sure you both want to retain the friendship. I tend to. For me, I think compromise is a big part of a long term relationship. You both mould to each other a bit. She certainly changed for me too, she became more feminine, she engaged with my interests that she might not otherwise be interested in. A more practical thing, but I have a bad back and my ex took massage lessons to learn how to help me with that - changing yourself in certain ways can be a really good way of showing how much you care about your partner. I don't think it's always bad, but I do think some of the ways I changed myself for her was bad, and I think that's part of what made me discontent with the relationship in the long-term. Undoing those changes was just my example. Someone might have a resolution to date more, use tinder, try something different, etc.

People do. I remember with my ex I was with her for 2 weeks and she bought me an imported Soul Sacrifice Vita with a load of games, for more than £400 as a birthday gift. It's relative to the amount of money that you have access to. For her the cost wasn't that big of a deal at the time and it was a very thoughtful gift as she knew I wanted the game and the custom Vita looked great. With the girl I'm currently dating, I've probably spent about £500 on her over the last month between restaurants and Christmas gifts. I'm not super wealthy but I have a little excess per month so I usually put that into whatever I'm focusing on at the time - in this case, having a good time with a girl. I wouldn't get her super expensive gifts though, I'd rather focus on spending money on experiences that have potential to bring us closer together. Like day trips out, and things like that. I wouldn't resent it if the girl and I didn't work out though. I have a good time at the restaurants I take her, etc. I don't think it's appropriate to ask for them back, but he would care because even though he has money, the expense was relative to caring about the girl. Spending $400 on someone that doesn't care about you, that you're not going to speak to, is a waste of money, regardless of whether you're 'loaded' or not. He's being 'thoughtless' as you put it, because at this stage he doesn't care about her happiness anymore. The gifts were thoughtful, because at the time, he did. Also the last line of your post is kind of ignorant. If it was a $50 trinket that he could 'barely afford' then it wouldn't be meaningless because he would have obviously struggled to get together that gift. It's cliche but in general I think it's the thought that counts which is why when I gift I tend to buy small, thoughtful items that show a girl that I listen to them, that I care about how they think and feel. Gifts that show I think about them, and that cause them to think about me (things like books and video games are good for this, because as a girl plays / reads them she'll often come back and talk to me about them).

I prefer places that have alcohol as I think it helps to have a drink sometimes, so I don't usually take girls to coffee places on a first date, but that's just me personally. Otherwise, it sounds fine. At the end of the day you just want to meet and see if there's any connection there. I wouldn't go anywhere that looks tacky / cheap either. So, that cuts out most chain coffee shops and restaurants. But, not every girl will care about that kind of thing.

Meant to reply to this sooner but I've been busy travelling back to Brighton. I can see what you're saying. I mean, it's just based on my personal experience. I guess it wasn't fair to say that in general, I find female advice better, there's a lot of things I ask my male friends for. But personally, for me there's been a lot of things that happened in relationships that I didn't really understand. I had spoke to males about it and they just gave pretty generic advice, like when my relationship was breaking down with my fiance, I explained that to a couple of male friends, and they just told me to stick at it and try and make things work, wait for her feelings to return. Then I explained it to my sister, and she explained how I acted earlier on in the relationship likely caused my partner to move away from me as a means of protecting herself (I told her I didn't want to marry her anymore, and we needed to work things out). My sister just explained things in a way that made a lot of sense, and actually gave me something I could have acted on (though by that time, I had given up on the relationship too). Same with dating recently. Quite a few times I've had weird interactions with girls that I've not really understood, and mentioned it to male friends who have offered no good advice, then I mention it to a female and they're like, 'oh, she's behaving like that because of this, lots of girls do that' and it's something I hadn't even considered. But you're right that it's probably just a personal thing (as it is for you with men). For me, I just tend to be quite close to a lot of good women, and they're very open with me about their feelings and relationships, so that helps me be open with them. With guys, I'm not so close to as many guys, particularly regarding their relationships and dating, so they're not as open, and don't offer as good advice. When I speak to friends they're often more interested in bragging about their sexual encounters. Many of them have spoken to me about not really understanding my perspective in relationships, and the fact that I don't fear commitment like they do. On the other side of my life, speaking to games industry folk, many of the more senior people have have wives / partners and they've been together for a long, long period of time, so it's hard to get good dating advice from them that's relevant to today. Many of them have never used Tinder or anything like it, for example. One of my housemates is really helpful though, his names Martin, he's a gay guy and I can speak openly with him. He's pretty good with fashion too and I often ask him how I look before going on a night out, date or whatever. He's a good friend, I remember when I was on my third date with this girl I'm seeing he took me to one side and cautioned me not to fall for her because he can tell I get attached quickly, and he doesn't want me to get hurt. It kind of made me well up a little bit that he actually thinks about things like that - I think that's the sign of a really good, supportive friend, and I just don't have many male friends like that.

I'd ignore the last couple of pages at the very least... In general I've found asking females in real life is much better than of the advice in this thread. Most of my friends and family are female and in general I think that's a better resource than members of an online, gaming forum. In honesty I think asking for relationship advice from guys broadly can be pretty poor, I find a lot of guys have an ulterior agenda to support their own egos, so they often give the advice that they think the ideal male should do - as if it's something they do. A lot of stories from males (not necessarily here) tend to be works of fiction too. So if you have that kind of resource in real life, take advantage of it before coming to ask anyone here for advice. I would say that I find those issues mentioned above are much more prevalent in other communities though. If you actually use communities that are specific for dating, such as a dating subreddit, then it's just packed with guys looking to support their own egos, spouting weird shit that they likely don't have experience with. In other cases, advice often feels copy and pasted out of a self-help text book, some members are guilty of that here, and in general it neglects the individual differences of the couple the advice is being applied to, often missing the mark. Ask what she would want a guy to do, etc. I really enjoy doing that as I feel it also brings me closer to my friends to share and support each other. Women do it all the time, but I don't think men do it as commonly. Dinner and a movie doesn't sound so bad. Just deal with watching a movie you're not that interested in, it's not that big of a deal? You could ask her to grab a drink with you and then if drinks / dinner don't go well, just abandon the movie? I mean, if you don't get on over dinner and drinks, it's not going to get better over a movie, so you might as well bail. Or you could just be a friend, because she'd probably appreciate just having someone to see it with.

Personally I won't date someone unless we have both complimentary personalities hobbies in common. When I was chatting with girls on tinder, some of them would say things like 'I don't really like films', and I just dropped the conversation there and then. They might have been lovely but I see watching movies, and playing games to be a pretty big part of my life and I'd want to share that with a partner. I'm used to long term relationships where most evenings would involve doing something with my partner, like watching a film, or playing a video game. The girl I'm dating at the moment, we've played through What Remains of Edith Finch, Life is Strange, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy together. I think if she wasn't into the same things, I'd just get a little bored with her company over time, and my hobbies would become a divide in our relationship - especially if I go on a binge of a new video game or something like that. My sister is the same, she doesn't date guys that don't play video games. Her current boyfriend hooked up with her after he offered to let her play the FFXV demo (she didn't have access to it at the time, for whatever reason). With all of this said, I don't have any aesthetic criteria for a woman. Like the guy above was saying his friend was looking for a hot blonde with double Ds (though that description does, incidentally fit the girl I'm seeing at the moment). In general I would say that I find women attractive and I tend to fall for their personality and shared interests.

I think people hoping their partners might become interested in their hobbies might become disappointed. It's easy for them to accept those hobbies in the short term, start of a relationship, but in the long-term it's easy for those activities, particularly if it pulls them away from the partner, to become irritations. I know a lot of guys, who's girlfriends explicitly dislike them playing games. For me, at least, that's not a pleasant situation to be in.

The problem is it's not something a lot of girls are open with at the start of a relationship. Like they might accept that you play games, and just shrug it off, but a couple years down the line they're complaining because you want to spend a day playing a video game, etc. And it's easy for that to go from a minor, to a major irritation. Ultimately, the guys I know have to settle for not playing games very often when they're at home. Fitting their gaming time around their partners schedule. I think it's much better if you can guarantee early on that that's an experience you can share with them. I guess it depends how important your hobbies are to you though, and how much of your time they take. I don't spend a huge amount of time playing games at the moment, but I appreciate having the freedom to do that when I want to.

I was talking about before they're your 'partner' really. In at least my experience in the past, when a girl has fallen for me it's not been uncommon that she will overrepresent / lie about things that she likes / is interested in. I remember when I was younger one of the girls I got together with pretended she liked Street Fighter IV just to get closer to me. She talked about video games that she liked, and things I could relate to, at the time, just for the sake of being able to relate to me. A few months down the line it became apparent that she wasn't genuinely all that interested in that stuff, and playing video games became a barrier. I agree with it being important to have separate lives though - though for me that's my work (and related social life), skateboarding, gym and fighting game tournaments. Video gaming is a more passive activity that's not something I just pick up here and there, but something that's closely interrelated with my sense of identity.

If I was drunk and tired I'd probably just sleep next to her or on the sofa or whatever, personally. Hate the ride back home after a night out.

Neither would I, but if I were making out with a girl and realised she was too drunk I'd just keep my trousers on, tell her she was too drunk, and that we should just sleep. I guess it might be harder to control yourself if you put yourself closer to that situation though, but I've never had an issue sleeping next to girls after a night out, just for the sake of having somewhere comfortable to sleep.

So I wanted ask you guys for an opinion. Finished chatting with this girl tonight, she went to bed, or to play The Witcher 3, one of those two (she said she had to sleep but I believe she's playing W3 in bed). Anyway, we spoke on an off throughout the day and she initiated the conversation, I generally like talking to her. She left me with the message "Okay, call or message me tomorrow if you want xx" The thing is, I don't want to intrude on her Christmas unless I get the impression she actually me to give her a call. Partially because I see Christmas as a pretty private thing, and partially because I guess I don't want to seem overly fond of her. I certainly wouldn't pick up calls from most people on Christmas myself, and I just spend the day with close relatives usually. So I don't want to intrude on that time with the people she's spending it with (her Uncle and such), but I guess I do want to speak to her if that's what she actually wants.

Well I don't know where you met her but the thing is if it's tinder or whatever she's probably talking to a lot of other guys who she's interested in too. So unless you push for an actual meetup she'll likely to get bored / occupied with other things and stop replying. You won't really get to know a girl via messages alone. I don't know if you've been out with many girls that you've met online, but you quickly realise that the online messaging portion of your communication doesn't really give you that much of an indication of who they are. All you need to do is use that online messaging period to quickly figure out if there are ways in which you can relate to the girl (if you like the same type of movies, books, music, etc) then lock in a date - the only reason you need to do that former part is to ensure you have something to talk about / relate over when you meet, so as a worst case scenario it's just a friendly conversation, and not super awkward. It's not really a sign of anything. If you just message a girl for a lengthy period of time, most of them will end up in stagnant conversations that don't really get anywhere, until someone just drops off and stops replying, or they'll be more engaged with a similar conversation with someone else that actually locks in a date. As for the timing of her responses. It seems normal to me.

I went away for Christmas the other day, leaving the girl I've been dating back in Brighton. We messaged a few times, but hadn't spoken to her in a couple of days. I was kind of doing this deliberately, just to give her some time to herself. I called her last night, while I was longboarding in the park. She was crying a little when she picked up, she said she gets upset at Christmas, because it reminds her of things she doesn't have, and memories from the past. She doesn't have a family, her mother died of cancer when she was young, and she walked in on her father slitting his wrists when she was a little older. I ended up longboarding around while using my headphones to talk to her for about two and a half hours. It was nice to talk to her. She said she was worried she was getting emotionally attached to me. Before I knew it I had been all around town on my long board, 15 miles or so. She said I cheered her up. I didn't really do anything, I just listened to her and talked about my sister quite a bit. I'm glad she ended up feeling a little better though. I think it's a good sign if I can cheer her up without explicit effort.

It is sad, but a lot of the girls I've dated tend to have been through trauma like that, my ex was an orphan too. I find it makes them more interesting people. This particular girl has been working and taking care of herself since she was 16 years old. She's stronger and generally more interesting to me than most women. As for the bolded, I don't remember. I think I just told her not to worry, and that I like spending time with her. I told her I'd give her a call on Christmas day - she said 'You know you can call me whenever you want Joe' and generally seemed pretty happy to be talking to me. We talked about a lot of things. She was saying she wished she was with me, and I reciprocated those feelings. She spoke about children, how many she wanted, and asked me questions related to things like that. Where she wanted to live, what kind of life she wanted to have. She asked me if I had children, would I want to stay at home and look after them, or whether I'd expect my partner to. I guess those are pretty serious questions - in general we want the same things. I imagine talking about Christmas just got her thinking about family. In the end I kind of got tired and ended the conversation, because longboarding for two and a half hours wears you out and I just wanted to go to bed. I'm going to head back to Brighton on the 27th and she's going to spend a couple of days at my house before we have to go back to work in the new years. I like spending time with her and I'm having fun doing that at the moment. No big deal if things don't go anywhere long-term but either way I'm having a good time right now.

... Right, whatever. The drinks thing was something I found funny, not a big issue. I wasn't at all saying that I expected anything in return. i don't know where you got that from. I took her to a restaurant instead. I paid for dinner, no expectations. Prior to that post I said if someone wasn't emotionally invested over a long period of time, I would leave the relationship and find someone else. I didn't say that I expected anything from them, I simply said that if something wasn't right for me, I would not be willing to stick around. I don't see how that's unreasonable and it's never been a problem for me in long-term relationships prior. Where did I say I was the perfect date? I also, wasn't being critical of her, if anything I just found the situation funny. I took her out, and we had a good time, and then went back to mine. What was wrong with that exactly?

Man this girl... She's broke, since she's spent all her money on Christmas shit. I suggest we go out anyway, say I'll pay. Says she won't let me pay, because I've paid for too much. She then suggests going to a cocktail bar, because it's '2 for 1 cocktails' and she'll take the free ones... It doesn't work like that. It just doesn't. If I have to buy full priced cocktails all night, so that you can get free ones, then that means I paid for yours.

Not very long, just two weeks. But we've been out together 7-8 times in the past 2 weeks. She won't come to mine tonight because it's too far for her to stay over and easily get to work in the morning without getting up at 6am. She has a few times previously, but it's a pain, because I have to order her a taxi at 6am in the morning (which is expensive) and we both have to get up super early. -- We ended up meeting at the cocktail place. I said I wanted food and took her to a restaurant instead. We had a good time. I gave her a christmas present. Okami HD and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks. She seemed to love them, so I'm pleased with that at least. Hey man. I went through a super similar experience like 5 weeks ago, splitting with my fiance of 5 years, and while I was heart broken at the time. I got over it super quickly. I used Tinder to date all kinds of women. As you say, it was a breath of fresh air getting to meet new people. I went out with about 9 women in the past 5 weeks, across 20+ dates, and among them I met a nice girl, who I'm dating exclusively at the moment. I'm a lot happier now than I was in the final year of my relationship with my fiance. I don't know if things will work out with the girl I'm seeing right now, but I love getting to know someone new. The intimacy is pretty good too, as it became pretty stale with my ex. Hopefully you find a similar experience.

Yep, there's no way I'd meet up with that girl.

I'd suspect she may be looking to rob me, or something like that. I've heard of girls doing that on Tinder, with their partners. Be cautious at the very least Vego.

Just me personally, but after being attached to a girl like that I would want to distance myself from her, but I'd never turn down friendship. Why not just leave her alone for a few weeks / months, date someone else. Your romantic feelings will likely disappear, and you can be friends, if you want that.

Yeah I don't know. It's not that it's a problem that it's someone else. It's just for a moment it felt weird. It feels weird to be lay in bed with someone, waking up with someone, that isn't the person I've been with for the past 4 to 5 years. It wasn't as though I wished it were her. It just reminded me, of the same feeling, like a flashback, to being in the same place with an ex. As far as falling in love goes, I've only been in four long term relationships and all four of them fell for me within a month. One of them even told me they loved me within days, and that lead to a 3 year relationship. I think everyone is different over a year is a bit too long for me personally. To be honest if a girl wasn't ready to say the same thing back within a month or so of myself feeling the same, I'd exit the relationship and find someone else. I spent enough time with my ex telling her I loved her without her returning it and there's no chance I'd be interested in going through that again. I'm not saying I expect someone to return it, or that I love this girl that I'm seeing at the moment (not at all, to be honest). Waiting a few weeks, months, or whatever is one thing, but potentially years, is another. It's a big deal to me, it really shapes my decisions in the rest of my life to know if someone is committed in that way, so I feel like it's something I need to know, within a reasonable span of time. The way I see it, based on my conversations with this girl, she equates love to dependence. When she becomes dependent on a guy, when she feels she can't live without them, that's when she loves them, and that's why it takes her so long. I don't necessarily think that's a good way to be, but still, I do like hanging out with her, at least at the moment, so I'm happy to see where things go. I also think it relates to how your partner escalates things. Her ex was the only long term relationship she had, and he didn't enjoy physical affection, touching, and things like that. So it may have been harder to love him. Besides, I may move to Montreal within 6 months. That's kind of part of the issue for me. I don't settle down in a city for more than a year typically. So if I'm going to ever do so, I need to know where I'm at with a girl, I need some form of commitment from them within at a very minimum, under 12 months, sometimes sooner, else it just doesn't fit into my life. With that said, at the same time as saying she doesn't fall in love within under a year, she does say some wacky stuff sometimes. I've only known her for two weeks and when I mentioned Montreal she suggested she would want to come with me.

Never been in that situation.

What makes you think anyone here isn't doing other things they like? I mean, this isn't a dating forum. Presumably everyone here is a video game enthusiast, which is a hobby they likely pursue, at a very minimum. I play video games, skate, practice bouldering, watch a lot of movies, and spend a lot of time with friends at bars, etc. All the while I still have time for dating, without really feeling like I'm giving up anything else. Not to mention, my work is a huge part of my life. I spend a tremendous amount of time outside of work thinking about it, reading about it, watching videos related to it, etc. I don't see how dating prevents anyone doing any of that. Even if I'm with a girl, dating, I just integrate her with that stuff. I play video games, get them to watch movies. Sometimes girls have asked me to teach them things, one of my ex's I got together with because she asked me to teach her to play Street Fighter IV. The idea of sacrificing personal interests to date seems ridiculous to me, heck, I don't even date girls that won't play video games.

Was due to meet the girl I've been dating today, and she seemed keen to meet up but then changed her mind. She said she's in a bad mood, still on her period, and just wants to go to sleep. She said she'd still come out if it'd upset me that she didn't - I said it was no big deal and we rearranged. She said she can do tomorrow instead, and encouraged that option by saying that if we do tomorrow, she can stay with me for the whole weekend. In general I think she seems pretty keen, and her lack of enthusiasm to hang out today was just generally feeling under the weather. Also, it's interesting how women speak about their periods. Of course, it doesn't bother me at all, but many of the women I speak to are reluctant to talk about it, and sometimes seem to think guys will find it disgusting. This girl decided she thought she could talk about it openly, because she knows I was raised in an all-female household and would likely understand. On whatsapp I can get to know them a lot better than on tinder and it also gives me an indication of whether they'd actually be interested in talking to me. People on tinder just stop replying very easily, because you have them within an app where they're bombarded with competition, etc. The way I see it, you want to get them out of that environment as soon as possible. 3 messages isn't a hard rule though. It's not really about wanting their number, it's about wanting them to focus their attention on you, somewhat, so that you have better odds of even getting to know them.

Never bothered me. Ex's always talked to me about what was going on, how they felt, etc. Probably is due to what she said, the way I've been raised by women means I don't think of that type of thing in the same way. It's not like I asked for the info either, she volunteered it, I guess she felt comfortable doing so with me. It reminds me of that Ted talk you (or someone else) posted earlier. 'A call to men' or whatever it was. I've never had an upbringing that really enables me to relate to anything that guy was saying.

I get that, but it didn't seem like she felt embarrassed. I also think how the guy reacts to it, is a big reason why women don't disclose. A lot of women that I've been with have said that they usually don't talk about it with guys, because they know that guys don't like it. I don't think many women are embarrassed by it, at least not more so than they are worried about how guys will react, and if they are, having a guy that's happy to talk about it only helps alleviate that. In this case, the girl explicitly noted that my background with an all-female household, and mostly female friends, made her more comfortable talking about it with me. My ex's didn't feel embarrassed talking about their periods with me either. In general I've always made an effort to be understanding, and welcome whatever they want to disclose. I always imagined that helps make me closer to my partner - making them feel more comfortable with me as a whole. And, I know it wasn't about the story of the guy, but what I mean is, by being raised by women I've never really had much awareness of that perception of manhood. He talks quite a lot about it in the talk, but I think a lot of it is taught by fathers. I think not having had my father around has its advantages sometimes, as I don't doubt that those expectations, the idea that men don't cry, the idea that men should control women, etc would have been instilled into me, by him. My mother used to call me the 'man of the house' when I was young, but I must admit I never really understood what that meant.

I think the movie being bad is the least of your concerns really. Movies are bad first dates because you can't really talk or get to know them. If anything, you can laugh and talk over a bad movie. You can't do that if they're engrossed in a great movie. Not that I advocate talking at the cinema - afterwards is ideal.

That girl I mentioned spent yesterday and most of today with me. Not really sure how I feel about her after spending more time with her. I do like her, I think she's a nice girl, and I enjoy being intimate with her, it's fun... but beyond that, I don't know... I don't think she's at much risk of falling for me either. Which I guess puts me off - I spoke to her a lot about romance and love, and she was saying that she's only been in love once, and it took her over a year with that partner to feel like that. For me, that's weird. If I really liked someone I could totally feel like I was in love with them within a few weeks, and if there's no prospect of her being on the same page then I think that's going to be a pretty unenjoyable relationship. But I like her being around. I enjoy the intimacy, touching, cuddling, stroking her hair, I wonder if part of that is having only left my ex partner recently. When she was lay on my chest after sex, I couldn't help but imagine for a moment that she was my ex. It felt the same. Her warmth, the embrace, it felt good to feel like that again but I don't know if it's anything more than that. Oh, and I integrated video games into the evening by playing Everything in the background and sticking it on autoplay. She enjoyed Alan Watt's philosophical lectures that feature in the game and thought the way that the animals move was funny. This is everything for those unaware It's a pretty cool screensaver for your PS4 / PC, because it plays itself if you don't press anything. I think we probably watched the game play itself for a few hours.

Just to clarify I wasn't just talking about you here. It's quite common that other people in this thread behave pretty poorly too. What dating site was that? Sounds like junk. Personally I would always push for a number, but I've only moved conversations from Tinder or OKC to whatsapp/texts/calls. Just something to bare in mind: religious beliefs are a common turn off so turning a girl down for Church has potential to be received poorly unless she aligns with your relgious beliefs. I guess it depends how important that side of your life is for you, and if you've already clarified that with her. I stopped dating the other girl I was seeing after the 4th date or so with the other girl. I think you owe it your partners to let them know if you're involved in multiple sexual relationships - so that was a big factor for me, when I started sleeping with girl A, I told girl B that I wasn't really sure I was ready for a relationship, and asked if we could just be friends. I've kept hanging out with the 'just friends' girl, we watch movies and play video games together. The girl I'm actively seeing romantically. I've not really talked about exclusivity with. I'm just guessing she isn't seeing other people based on the fact that she tends to give me an account of her day, every day. She tends to call me, or I her, etc, just doesn't seem all that likely that she's with someone else - though of course I could be wrong, so I'll approach it explicitly sometime. At some point I'll tell her, 'I want you to be my girlfriend'. If she asks what that means then I'll explain I'm talking about exclusivity. I've vaguely told her that already though. We had a conversation at a restaurant along the lines of: Me: I like you, I want us to hang out more often Her: You want me all to yourself? I smiled Her: Hmm... you usually get what you want, don't you? Me: Well... yeah. Her: Let's go to yours, after the meal She's also used the term boyfriend / girlfriend a few times, saying stuff like 'if you're going to be my boyfriend, then x', but like I say, I'll bring it up more explicitly at some point. This isn't advice, this has just been my experience over the past few weeks. Take what you want from it, even if that's nothing at all. I usually move the conversation to whatsapp within 3 messages Then I usually ask a little about their interests, generic shit, then ask them for a date, within perhaps 20 messages. Sometimes I let the conversation drag and in those cases the women usually either case me out, or just stop messaging back.

Unrelated but why on earth are you guys sending emails to your dates? I also think some people have some pent up aggression in this thread. Everyone here is trying to help others, offer advice, etc. There's no sense in using language like 'wtf is with you' and calling each other terrible people. You can also disagree with each other without being condescending. This. Why reply to a girl that doesn't reply to you in 9 days? You could arrange dates with 9 other girls in 9 days. She seems barely interested, it's a waste of time.

I don't really get this article. It seems to equate being a 'nice guy' as lacking confidence and being disillusioned by relationships in movies/television. You can be a nice guy without being afraid of rejection, lacking confidence, or only wanting to get into her pants. I guess I don't really like the term nice guys here. Just seems like a really long way of telling guys to take control and be open with how you feel. I don't really see how that marries up with being a nice guy, or not, and I general I think a lot of this self help stuff is really long winded common sense.

Well, the reason I say it was stupid because I worry it damaged my hearing a bit. When I was 16 or so I used to put music on through my headphones, max volume, usually metal and other crap. It's not healthy to do that. I get what you mean though, a lot of people listen to, like, relaxing music and whatnot. I remember when I was young, I used to think it was really cool to fall asleep while listening to Metallica's Enter Sandman, played on a loop. haha.

Somewhat odd sequence of events today. I wasn't due to meet this girl over the weekend, but then she asked if we could meet because she wanted to see me before I went away. On the day I was due to meet up with her, I was in town and I sent her a photo of where my friends and I were (in a desert store, eating cake). She replied to me, asking if I wanted to meet up, but I didn't see any of her messages or anything like that. Then just after I walked out of the store, I saw her. She acted a bit annoyed, as if I had ignored her messages. And she was pretty off with me in conversation. I didn't intend to ignore her, and I actually bought her a box of chocolates while I was in the store. I didn't mention that to her because she seemed a bit irritable and I didn't want to have that conversation in the street, in town. I spoke to her via whatsap afterwards, asked her if we were meeting up later, she said she wanted to but she just wanted to stay home. Said she's on her period and she's feeling unwell. I posted a sad face. She started sending a series of photos, which ended up escalating to a couple of photos where she was topless. I did not prompt her to send those in any way. I just told her that her previous photos were cute. --- Not really sure where I stand with her generally. She knows that I like her, but I feel that it was a bit weird that she just abruptly appeared at the same place as me in town. Then she seemed offended that I was surprised to see her and missed her call (wasn't as though I kept her waiting long, it was like 15 minutes or whatever) which seems a little silly. I understand if she was unwell, but can't help but shake the feeling that she cancelled our meetup because she was annoyed at me.

In Cat Pee's case he had reason to be suspicious since he suddenly had a load of matches from the same courses at a University. But in general, I do agree with you. As I say, I don't have any reason to be suspicious of women generally, I've not seen anyone horribly misrepresent themselves. Some women do use filtered photos and whatnot, but usually I'll move the conversation from Tinder to whatsapp within a handful of messages, then on whatsapp I'll ask them for photos a little later. If I'm pretty chatty with a girl I'll often send her a photo of what I look like first thing in the morning. In most cases, they follow up with something similar and I think it gives a more genuine impression of what they look like.

Vertabim "You wanna' do something Monday maybe? x" "I know you have your friends over and you're busy... I don't know, I want to see you xx" That's fine, that's what I wanted to hear really.

I would just go for it if she works in a different department personally. I imagine it would be easy to resume a working relationship if things did turn sour. Just don't make it awkward if things don't work out. I guess it depends on you though. If you're the kind of guy that can't see your ex walking around on a daily basis without acting weird about it, then it might not be a good idea. Personally I've never left a girl without establishing a friendship first - how you end relationships and how you provide closure is likely a significant contributor to any feelings of animosity afterwards, so how you deal with that may be something to consider. Think worst possible scenario, she's fickle and ditches you after a few weeks or whatever. Would that create an awkward work place environment for you? If yes, then perhaps don't bother. But if you're good at moving forward then maybe it's not an issue.

So I went on a date with that girl I was talking about most recently, last night. We've actually seen each other for 4 days straight. It was a nice restaurant I paid, she was worried that it was too expensive before we went, so I didn't wanted to ease her mind that I'd pay for whatever we had. The previous couple of 'dates' we had we just spent the night in my bedroom, so I wanted to take her someplace nice just to show her that I don't just want to lounge around in bed, eating pizza all day really. I've not really taken a girl to a place like that before. The girls I've been with in the past have all been university or college students and I think when your'e in college there's a mutual awareness that you're both poor, and you're not going to drop a couple hundred £ on dinner. That's always been my experience in the past, anyway. We made out outside the restaurant and on the way to the taxi rank, and then she headed home, saying she wanted a good nights sleep. Aside the date going generally well, I was kind of enamoured by the whole experience. I didn't have a wealthy upbringing, my sister and I grew up in a counsel house (state funded housing) raised by my single parent mother, and we just scraped by never went anywhere expensive or fancy. I don't blame anyone for that, but it really placed what I was doing into context, and I imagine, made me appreciate the experience a lot more. I ended up calling my mother (particularly as she'd been trying to get hold of me for a few days), and promising to take her to a fancy restaurant sometime in January. I don't really know where things are going with the girl. We're seeing each other often and I think we both like each other, but at the same time, I may move to Montreal soon (she knows this). I'm going away on business for most of next week so I won't see her for a little while, but nevertheless I'm finding myself to be really happy since leaving my fiance a few weeks ago. When I was with her and our relationship was breaking down, even when I knew things weren't working and I knew it wasn't right for us to stay together, at the time, I didn't understand how I'd ever be happy again outside of that relationship - I got over that super quickly, and I'm happier than I've been for the longest time. Not because of Amy (the girl I've been seeing most often recently) either, but just because of everything I wasn't doing when I was with my ex. I wasn't meeting people often, I wasn't going places, and I almost feel like I had stopped developing as a human being while I was with her.

I missed my stop home on the bus yesterday, by quite a bit. Had to get off at the wrong place and walk back for 30 minutes. The same thing happened today. Not quite as bad, but I missed the stop. At first I thought I was just tired, but thinking about it I realise I was thinking about the girl I've been seeing. I think I'm falling for her. That really scares me, because I worry I'm just going to get hurt. Almost tempted to push her away. Jesus. I've never done it, but I imagine you could use google image search to track photos. Girls also often link their snapchat on tinder, for whatever reason. With that said. I've never done it, and don't recommend it. I've never met up with a girl that wasn't what she said she was. I don't see any incentive to 'stalk' anyone. However, if a girl did look me up, it wouldn't bother me. I don't have anything to hide and I'd understand if she was trying to avoid being conned by someone that wasn't who they said they were.

I think it's really easy to make a large, but logical jump ahead in an effort to get people excited. However, in reality the reason other hardware manufacturers aren't producing something like this, is because they're too expensive, and consumers haven't caught up with the existing VR market. Occulus and Sony will produce gen 2 HMDs in the coming years, and in all likelihood they will be more appropriately priced, and better supported than this has any chance of being.

I think the problem is if she just doesn't want you as a sexual partner, rather than not wanting sex broadly, then she's likely to leave you later, dissatisfied with the relationship. So if you can't resolve that, then it won't work in the long term. So it's obviously something you need to address, one way or another... I think Sygma's advice of reminding her of your value, isn't terrible, but I would recommend simply trying to talk it out. Perhaps she's asexual? If that's the case then you can still have a conversation about what makes you happy in a relationship, and see if she'll meet you half way, etc. If she just doesn't want to have sex with you, then she probably doesn't view your relationship in the way that you want her to, and the only way to change that would be to change how she thinks about you. In that respect, reminding her of your value could be a good idea. Both as a sexual partner, but also just generally. Do things spontaneously, surprise her, be romantic, see how she reacts. If I were having trouble like that in a relationship I'd probably take her on a weekend in Paris or something like that, personally - if I couldn't resolve it, I'd think about how important the relationship was to me. Personally, I wouldn't be satisfied having sex once or twice a month - especially if the girl is unsatisfied with those moments too. So I'd struggle to sustain the relationship. In that regard, yes, flirting, and showing that you're valued by other women would place some strain on your relationship, but at the same time, if the issue isn't resolved it's not a relationship I would want to be in anyway. I would probably be open first, romantic second, take Sygma's advice third, then give up and find someone that makes me happy.

Yeah I would just teach them if you're willing. However, there's a big distinction between lacking intelligence, and the absence of knowledge. An intelligent girl might not have been to university, yet she's intelligent, cognitively developed enough follow an explanation of a complex theory, or piece of research. In contrast, a girl that lacks intelligence likely lacks the tools to process that information quickly, she may find herself lost in conversation, and she won't appreciate the information you supply. She may seem enamoured at first, but she's likely to become bored of being dispensed information that she has little appreciation for, or deep understanding of. In general though, I like talking about girls about things they don't understand, and I think they like it too. When I talk about philosophy and psychology, they always seem interested. The girl went out with last week remarked that I made her realise that she's never seen anyone particularly intelligent before - and noted that she liked it.

I'm unconvinced she's not interested in the subject. The girl I was out with yesterday even mentioned nietzsche independent to anything I said to her. I live in Brighton.

It's not about being dominant, or not, really. With my previous partners I was definitely the dominant person in our relationship, but at the same time we felt equal. Also, women I've been with before tend to be feminists, which I think is good - I tend to connect progressiveness with intelligence (as does emprical research) - so this is just a little different for me. I don't think a woman needs to be a lawyer, fireman, police officer etc to feel like she's equal to a man. Most women I know aren't like this girl at all. Perhaps I just hang out with hipsters and whatnot, but it's just not what I'm used to. I don't have an issue with it, I'm just not used to it. As it happens, that's near enough what she's said. She also rationalised it as women being biologically designed to look after the home, have children, etc. It doesn't really bother me if that's what she wants, but I would never want to be the guy that made or contributed to a woman feeling like that.

I tend to date women that are a little older than me personally. Often one or two years older. I find those women are more interesting broadly, less likely to mess me around, and also know what they want in life. Otherwise, they're the same age or a couple years younger. Generally I wouldn't date a woman more than a couple of years younger than me. I don't want to be a teacher or father figure - obviously that's not always the case, but just speaking from experience. Younger women tend to randomly decide they want to be an artist who lives in Italy, and random stuff like that. I don't want to be with someone that hasn't developed a firm sense of identity that they're likely to uphold in the long-term.

One thing I guess I'm not too fond of with this girl I'm seeing is that she's really into gender roles. She wants to cook, clean and look after her partner, and she expects her partner to be dominant, and generally control her to some degree. It's not altogether uncommon that I meet girls like that, though they don't tend to express those feelings unless you become quite close. Nevertheless, I'm not certain it's something I'm entirely comfortable with. I've only been out with her twice and she's already offered to come round to my house and cook on more than one occasion - but she says that's just how she shows she cares. Am I wrong to be a little unsettled by that?

I'm just talking about having a good understanding of what you're doing / reading the situation - that's what I feel I really don't have. It's not that I'm not looking for women to date - I've been using tinder / OKC and just speaking to them. In my opinion, it's not really about the specific things you say, how you approach things, but who you are - how you act from moment to moment - and you can't really plan that. I find women are attracted to INFJ personality types (Myers Briggs), so even though I'm a quiet guy, they seem to like the fact that I'm pretty caring, and willing to let my intuition guide me through a situation. I'm really open with women I speak to. I tell them what I want from life, from them. I tell them I want two kids, a house in Canada, a dog. I talk about moral philosophy, nietzsche, obscure psychological theories. A women I went out last week had me explaining how an MRI machine works. But it doesn't seem to scare them away - all of those things that on paper I'd traditional avoid, that make me who I am, I find it much better to embrace those rather than worry about whether I'm reading the situation correctly, how she's going to react, etc. It's the same when asking a girl out. Obviously I don't just outright ask a girl a at a bar if she wants to go out, but I'm not afraid to speak to them either.

Yeah just ask them about what they're interested in, then ask them why, what makes them passionate about that. What that originated from, tell them it's interesting, talk about how it relates to you, where possible. Exchange with them, the same insight into yourself - ideally, they ask for this from you too. The only time you're going to have trouble with this type of conversation is when the person you're talking to is boring, because they don't have anything they're particularly interested in, or passionate about. Even if I'm not explicitly interested in something I'm always interested in hearing about what other people are interested in. If it's their passion, then that makes it interesting. If they say, hypothetically, they're into writing music. You can ask so many questions about that. What got you into writing? What inspires you? Regardless of what they say, act impressed, tell them you're really interested. Tell them you've never met anyone doing that before if that's true, etc. The thing is that women get compliments all of the time, but they rarely have men take a genuine interest, in their interests. Male and female interests often, fail to overlap too significant. Fuck, look at the differences in average info on OKC profiles (note, this is from 2010 so it's outdated, but stressed the same point). It's not that many of those things aren't interesting to me, it's just that I don't know much about them. It's also about picking things they may be less secure about, and telling them that you find it interesting, or cool, so that they feel more comfortable with you. A girl the other week showed me some of the lyrics she was working on, for a song for her band - she said she wasn't very confident, I took the time to interpret the meaning, explain my interpretation to her and tell her I enjoyed reading it - she said it cheered her up that day. I'm not inherently interested in music, or soppy love lyrics, but it can be interesting, especially in conversation with the right person.

Changed my tinder pic to the same one I have here. I think it looks alright? A few of the girls I've been talking to on whatsapp seem to want to meet up. Asking stuff like if I come by there area often, etc, but at the same time, since I'm already busy seeing a few other people I don't want to meet up with anyone else right now. Feels a little awkward just ignoring their advances, and kind of makes me feel bad because obviously I haven't been open about the fact that I'm seeing other people (though I would if they asked). Currently have about 4 girls that say hi to me and encourage conversation every morning, but ironically, the one girl I'm hoping to go out with soon hasn't been replying. I was supposed to meet her today, but I dunno, if she's not replying on whatsapp I'm not going to go into town and wait at some bar for when we arranged to meet. In general, I find if you can get a girl to chat with you on whatsapp you can get a date 100% of the time. If they gave you their number then they like you. That's just my experience so far. Glad you think it was helpful man. Hope you get a second date :)

Yeah I doubt this girl I was supposed to meet today is going to turn up. I messaged her yesterday to confirm we were meeting, she said yeah, 6pm sounded good, but then I messaged her again this morning and haven't heard anything back. It's now 5pm. I guess I just shouldn't turn up either? It's out of my way, don't want to waste my time. If she can't be bothered to reply then she probably wasn't that into me. This was the girl that got sort of freaked out by the fact that I split up with my fiance 3 weeks ago.

Not to be cruel but that rationalisation just sounds like a means of resolving cognitive dissonance. I'd try and reapproach your photos, etc. Every town has a fair number of eligible women, within your age bracket. You don't have to tell them you're an older, graduate student either. You can always tell them what you aim to do or what you were doing before, and approach getting additional qualifications to enhance your career, a little later.

You can definitely do well with women without really having a good understanding of what you're doing though, to be fair. Personally I don't think you have to understand a hell of a lot if you have the right set of characteristics, most of which you can intentionally foster. I don't know what a good ratio is, but since I split with my fiance the other week, I've been out with 6 women, 5 of which on second/third dates. I haven't really felt like I've known what I was doing, or 'had a good understanding of how it goes down' with any of them. Honestly, I've just tried to be myself and not think about anything. I've asked for advice on here a couple of times but I've found it really difficult to follow because I have to think about it and that's not really how I work, I tend to just get through life on my intuition. It helps generally being a nice person, not being after one thing. I don't know about you guys, but a lot of the women I speak to act as if they've had a hard time finding anyone pleasant. Some of the women I talk to speak about their general experiences with tinder and whatnot, and it sounds like an absolute nightmare. The woman I went out with yesterday was describing how her last Tinder date just sat there and told him about his attempted suicides while looking at the floor. It helps a lot to be a psych student I find, generally. Almost every woman I speak to seems to have some connection to mental health or psychology that she wants to talk about. Three of the six women I've been out with in the last week want to be some sort of counsellor or therapist. One of the women I went out with had a stroke when she was young and her life-long complaint is that people don't understand stroke, how it affected her, and people that suffer today. It can be very easy to connect with people if you have the right background. Sometimes I worry that my work in the games industry puts women off though. They don't really understand it, and they also get a little irked when I tell them I can't tell them what I work on, and explain non-disclosure agreements.

I ended up being honest with a girl I was dating about when I split up with my fiance (3 weeks ago) and it kind of freaked her out. I kind of fucked up a lot on that date to be honest, ended up being a bit of an ass on occasion, for instance, while I had had a few drinks, I remember being very dismissive her thoughts on Freudian psychology and dream theory - I don't agree with what she was talking about, at all, but by being dismissive I think it made her more defensive and less comfortable. Either way, she still made me 'pinkie promise' to see her over the weekend so we'll see how that goes.

Yeah I get that part, I guess my situation is trickier since I am seeing other people, and the problem is that this girl that wants to take things slow or possibly not take things anywhere at all, that's potentially a waste of time whereas I could just develop a more romantic relationship with someone else. If I do that however, that cuts off all possibilities of developing anything with her. For me, I she's a good fit for a relationship, but it is a drawback that she doesn't play games (there's only one of the other two girls that I'm dating that does). It just so happens that it's the girl that plays games that's appears more attracted to me too. So I feel I'm likely to end up pushing in that direction, but it's a shame because I really dig the other girl and I'd have loved to explored that but, I just don't think I'm willing to wait and see what she wants to do, and miss other romantic opportunities with girls I also really like, in the process. In your position I feel it's less complicated. It absolutely makes sense to just go along for the ride and see what happens, while also keeping your eyes out for other romantic opportunities.

I don't think long distance is a big issue with an end so clearly in sight. If you guys don't want to lose each other and give up on the relationship then you should just work through that period. Even if things don't work out, you've only lost a little bit of time, not a whole lot. That's just my opinion.

This girl I've been talking to from tinder is attractive, and pretty forward. After we were talking about where we live, she casually mentions "Oh, I can walk there in about 30minutes". I guess she's expecting me to invite her over? We have a date arranged for Saturday anyway, and I'm pretty busy till then. I just ignored her remark and turned the conversation in a different direction. I'm not really interested in a casual hookup (and she claims, neither is she) but inviting a girl over to my bedroom for a first meeting would probably turn into that. Scrapbooks can be really romantic. For my ex I gave her a book that was filled with loads of our early, romantic memories, photos, receipts of places we went to early on in our relationship, etc. She really loved it. I filled in like, the first year of our relationship and told her to spend time filling in the rest as we go. Even now we've split up, she's said she can't bare to get rid of it. Lovers is a good game but there are two reasons I wouldn't play it on an early date 1) It kind of looks like you're trying too hard to play something romantic, which I think is a little cheesy in a video game context. If she came over to play video games she was probably hoping to have fun, and if you load up a game she's never heard of called 'lovers' I think it just has potential to make things slightly awkward 2) Lovers is hit and miss. Some people are bound to like the strategy but other people just won't get into it With my ex, the first game we played together was castle crashers. It's fun, mindless, but it's also easy to put the controller down and make out.

Some updates. So the girl I went out with last week, the one that I really liked. I'm seeing her again for a third date tomorrow. But she's been honest with me and said she doesn't really know what she's looking for, and she's just out of a long term relationship. She doesn't know if she wants to date, but at the same time, she does seem to want to spend quite a bit of time with me. I don't know what to think of that, but whatever - I'm going out with her to see Paddington 2 (someone kill me; to be fair this is my fault, I picked the movie, but I didn't want to see Daddy's Home 2, or Battle of the Sexes either). The thing is, she doesn't know what she wants, and I think (despite what he profile says) she doesn't really want a long term relationship right now. I get the general impression she doesn't really know what she's doing with her life, and that she would be quite distant, which I wouldn't appreciate in a relationship. I'm still happy to hang out with her, I think she's a really cool person, but I feel that were just going to end up as friends. I met another girl on Tinder (Amy). She's pretty attractive (between a 7 and 9 out of 10 depending on which photo you look at), and she plays video games. She's currently playing Horizon. I ended up ignoring Sygma's advice and chatting with this girl a lot - just because it's not my style I guess. It wasn't that I didn't find the advice valuable, it's just that if a girl starts talking to me online, I really enjoy chatting with them and for me, it's a good way of making the first date feel really comfortable and easy. I find that helps for both of us. I can totally see how it could be a romance killer, but if you're chatting with the right person, that just doesn't seem to happen. We're meeting up for a date on this next Sunday. She seems pretty into me in general. For instance tonight, we were chatting for about 3 hours on whatsapp. We video called for a bit to make sure we were real people, in general it felt really good to talk to her. I definitely felt that over the last few days, I've been developing a fondness for her. She's just a nice girl, and she wants a lot of the same things I do out of life. At the same time, I have another date next Thursday. She's okay, but really hard to judge until I've met her. She hasn't spoken to me that much (which is fine, obviously). I guess my concern is that I'll be in a slightly more serious position with one of these other two girls, by the time I even date this girl, which is just going to distract me on my date with her. I cancelled another date with a girl on Friday. Stuff is just getting too hectic and I don't have time for it. She seems like a nice girl but less appealing than the other three.

Hmm, I disagree with the one hour drive. You could easily spend every weekend with your partner with an hour drive after work. Heck, some of my colleagues partners commute for 1 hour, just to get into work, and then drive back to their partners in the evenings. That said, I would never deliberately seek out a relationship like that. It's just a pain, and it does put strain on the relationship.

Talk to them, figure something out. The girl I was out with the other day lives 10 miles away, not a huge distance, but she wants to move to the town I live in. So it becomes a non-issue. Obviously, it depends where it is. If it's 1 hour away and neither of you can ever see yourselves moving in each others direction, then I agree it won't work, but that's often not the case. I just wouldn't dismiss it generally. You can usually figure out if someone would be willing to move for a relationship pretty early on in conversation, and go from there. If they're really career minded and came to x place for that, then they're unlikely to move, etc.

It is, but I've often found the reason people often hesitate to move is because they're career focused, and want to keep their job. But at the same time, they're often willing to travel to work for an hour, so that's often one way in which a lot of couples compromise, by moving in together, narrowing the distance to each other, but increasing the distance to work.

I don't know if this is serious advice, but it really depends what you're looking for. Don't get a tattoo if you're hoping it will attract a long term partner "Women thought that the men looked healthier with a tattoo, which supports the biologists’ theory. However, tattoos make a man look more or less attractive. Women thought tattooed men would be worse partners and fathers than men without tattoos, perhaps because tattoos signal impulsiveness and a propensity for risk-taking — hardly the characteristics most women prioritize in a long-term partner. Both men and women agreed that a man with a tattoo looked more masculine, dominant, and aggressive."Quote is from a Summary of the Article from Psychology Today.

I get what you're saying. Particularly because all of those statistics don't mean much to any individual, but when you're talking about attraction you're talking about playing averages. Substantial bodies of empirical evidence usually hold more water than anecdotal advice from forum goers in terms of understanding those averages, and how they're influenced. I wouldn't make a decision to get (or not to get) a tattoo based on that research, however, the point is that there isn't strong evidence to suggest that tattoos have any really meaningful benefit in attracting a long term mate, and dispensing that advice (almost as if it were a universal truth) seems a little silly to me. And yes, if you want to read most current journal articles, you have to pay for access. Here's the summary that was on . Personally, I read journals through my sisters University access.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking to be honest - and yeah it really does kill the momentum. The only thing that gives me some hope is that by "I'm busy for the next couple of weeks, I'll let you know" she might mean that she's busy over the next couple of weeks but she'll let me know when she's free, within that time as opposed to I'm busy over the next couple of weeks I'll let you know after (but probably not at all). Also, does it not seem weird that she would initiate a text after our date saying she'd like to see me again, if she actually didn't? Hard to understand why there would be an incentive to do that. I'm probably going to go out with a couple more girls this week. One named Laura, another, Rhiannon, but neither of which seemed as interesting as Marnie (the girl above). It might sound odd, but I liked her neurological abnormalities. I liked the way she very twitched slightly when she demonstrated a more expansive vocabulary (she had a mild stroke when she was young, and experienced aphasia at the time). That kind of thing is difficult to find in a girl, but for me, them being different in some weird and unusual way is a pretty big deal breaker.

Don't go somewhere too quiet, because the surrounding conversation helps yours not feel too award. At the same time, don't go somewhere too busy or loud, because it can be difficult to talk. You likely want to go to somewhere that overall, presents itself quite nicely. You don't want to take a girl to a dive bar, even if she's into that, because it gives a bad impression. I often find places like Cafe Rogue (not sure about international equivalents, but it's a chain in the UK), are pretty nice, and if you're unsure if a girl doesn't want to drink, having cafe into the title of the bar does help. Pic below is an interior of a Cafe Rogue, but I think it's a pretty good example of the kind of atmosphere I'd like to achieve with a first date. It's a nice place, but not too quiet or explicitly romantic. Just my personal advice though, other people obviously do things differently and even then it depends on the person you're going out with. One of my housemates took a girl to McDonalds, and they clicked really well because she was the kind of people that likes McDonalds too, and it acted like an icebreaker.

I went on a date with a girl today. She lives in the town nearby. I got her to pick a place for us to meet, as I'd never been there before so I figured she'd know better. When I met her at first, I was pretty stunned as to how attractive she is. Bearing in mind I haven't dated for 6 years, I guess I'd forgotten what it feels like to be attracted to another girl. Anyway, she had a real natural beauty to her. For a moment I felt intimidated by how attractive she was, but just approached her and acted pretty normal. We seemed to get along pretty well. I think a big part of it was because when she was 22 she had a stroke, and right now, she works for a charity trying to ensure people better understand stroke. She has no real symptoms anymore, but you can see hints of her aphasia every now and then. You can see it's just slightly more demanding for her to access her vocabulary at times, she says it makes her tired to talk for really long periods of time. We spoke for about 2 and a half hours, then I asked if she wanted to leave the bar and get some food. I wanted to give her an opportunity to leave really. She was happy to come and eat with me, and we spent another couple of hours at a burger restaurant. She got her wallet out to pay half of the bill but I offered to pay, for the meal, £25, not too bad but not cheap either. I mentioned that I should get home sometime soon, since I took the train to get there, and she checked the train times for me (my phone ran out of battery). We kept talking, and she walked me to the train station, despite it being the opposite direction from where she had parked. We hugged, and I told her I wanted to see her again. She smiled and said 'yes' and we parted. On the train ride home, she sent me a text saying: "Hey it was really nice to meet you, I had a really good time. It would be cool to hang out again sometime :)" How does that sound guys? I think it went pretty well. --- This date was really good for me, it's made me feel a lot better about everything. I arranged this date with a girl on OKC one day after splitting with my fiance, and at the time I was worried that was too soon, that I shouldn't be messaging other girls. But it made me realise that there's plenty of people out there, and even if it doesn't work out with this girl, there's always going to be someone out there for me. Before I went out with this girl (Marnie) I would have still wanted to get back with my ex, but I don't want that anymore, it helped me move forward.

Have a date on Sunday - though only split with my fiance last week so as I said previously, may not be the best thing. Seem to connect with her pretty well on an intellectual level though, she works for a stroke charity and she's passionate about that, I have a masters in neuropsychology, and I used to work on an accute stroke ward. Have 3 other dates lined up for the following week or so but thus far I've just asked if they want to go out, and when they're free. I'm pretty good at initiating with girls but pretty nervous with dates and stuff. Most of the girls I've had success with in the past I've just got them to play video games with me, and eventually we end up making out. That doesn't work universally, as not all girls want to play video games. I disagree. I play games and chat about games at work as part of my job, at work for leisure (during lunch) often hang out with friends in town at gaming bars, or with friends that just bum around town and 'slack off'. I often have friends over just to randomly skate around town and not do much of anything. I've curated my life deliberately, so that it matches my interests so closely so that work does not often feel like work. That isn't to say I've not worked hard to get where I want to be, or that I don't work hard at work. But ultimately if I feel that if you really push for what your passionate about you shouldn't have to feel that you've had to and start tolerating activities / work that's unenjoyable. Work feels like play, then I go home and play some more.

When I was with my fiance we used to play games all the time. While it was something I loved at first, something I really wanted in a girl, it got a bit irritating after a while. It often meant that I didn't really get all that much time alone. I used to play a lot of comp shooters, but she's not competitive so she would complain a bit when I played those, because she knew she couldn't play ranked. At the same time, she was also pretty bad at the games, so if I was playing ranked, I didn't really want to play ranked with her. I tried to tell her if she would put in the time, we could play some ranked, she kept going on about wanting to go to the Lighthouse in Destiny, but I told her if she didn't play regular Crucible, she'd never get good enough to go - she didn't put in the time to get better and acted jealous when I played with my friends. I get it, because it was something she really wanted to experience, but it was irritating having her expect that I would carry her through. It was the same with the Raid on Destiny. She didn't want me doing it without her, but at the same time, she didn't put much time into the game to level up and whatnot, so I ended up being weeks behind friends. If I did something like that, early, without her, she'd often complain about it quite a lot - it would often end up ruining the experience, because she'd mention it every time we play, in a little passive aggressive manner (like if I asked if she wanted to do a Strike, she'd note how I wanted to play with her ). Sometimes it's good to have a good deal of separation. I don't know if I would want to be with a girl that close to my hobbies again. Definitely very much a first world, and quite geeky problem to have in a relationship though.

Cheers, talking about it with people has been really helping me, including here. Ended up going down to Portsmouth to meet four of my friends for the weekend, just chilling, it's helping. I did something fairly stupid following the breakup yesterday too. I started talking to a few girls on tinder, and ended up asking a few (3) out on dates. I didn't expect them to agree, but they have. Is that poor etiquette? Should I cancel on two of them? Should I cancel on all of them since I just got out of a long term relationship yesterday? Or should I play it casual and just have fun and make friends? I mean, it's just drinks so far - doesn't have to mean a lot, is it okay to just go out and have fun with it? I mean, I did it, thinking it might make me feel better - I don't know if it will.

Nah, you'll meet the right person. Eventually you'll meet someone where it doesn't even feel like you need to do anything effortful to make things work. I met one of my ex's by offering to teach people how to play Street Fighter IV, a gaming group page. Just be confident, and optimistic, and things will work out. Gay bars are flooded with attractive women, and typically there's less competition from other men, than straight clubs. It's easier to meet girls there. I live in Brighton (lbgt capital of the UK) and my housemates pull girls on nights out at gay clubs pretty much every time we go out.

A lot of people don't mix in sex homogenous social circles.

The lines between gay and straight clubs are pretty blurred, to be honest.

Unfortunately, not really, no. We'd been trying to repair things but she'd not been putting any effort in to communicate. When I confronted her about it, she just said it was because she didn't want to fix things, and didn't see things getter better, etc. It didn't feel that there was much I could do to convince her. In general, than anything else, it was the distance that made things impossible. Even though we'd see each other for a weekend and repair things a little, get a little closer, a little better, by the time I'd next see her and we'd feel more distant than ever. We used to have issues from time to time, when we lived together, but we were always able to resolve them, but that dynamic didn't work when we were living apart.

Thread: Spyro The Dragon Reignited Trilogy Leaked - With Boxart (Update: screenshots too) [PS4/XB1]
I guess most of you haven't played the Skylanders games. But they were developed by Vicarious Visions and Toys for Bob, alternatingly. Toys for Bob created the series with the first game, and Giants, and then alternated with Vicarious making Swap Force and Super Chargers, and Toys for Bob making Trap Team and Imaginators. . In general, I got the impression that Vicarious were a much more talented team. The Skylanders games that they produced were considerably better designed, and far less heavy handed with how they communicated to the player. For instance, it feels like Trap Team stops you every 30 seconds to pan the camera or something, while Swap Force avoids taking control from the player, and is a better game as a result. Not to mention that Vicarious tended to produce Skylanders games that looked a lot better than the ones produced by Toys for Bob. The step up from Giants to Swap Force is incredible, and that was driven by Vicarious Visions. While Toys for Bob's later entries in the series do come close (like Imaginators) you still get the impression that their not as technically capable, and their games don't look quite as nice as those produced by Vicarious. As a result, I'd be interested to see how this remake turns out. I never got the impression that Toys for Bob had a firm understanding of what made games, and particularly platformers fun (Skylanders itself, played like 3rd rate Diablo until Vicarious Visions added a jump button in Swap Force). I wonder if they will put emphasis on the correct mechanics in the remaster, I wonder if the game will feel quite right, and i wonder if their studio has the technical ability to produce a remake at the same quality as Vicarious Visions' Crash Bandicoot Trilogy.

That person you speak of, likely an executive producer, would have been aware of the state the game was shipping but also aware that their team was pressured for time. Almost every game ships with 100s if not thousands of bugs, and that person would have emphasised prioritising the more damaging, high frequency issues first. At the same time, the executive producer is not in charge of the development schedule. It's their job to ensure that the game is produced to as great a quality as it can be, within a certain time frame. Either way, the point is that suggesting it's the responsibility of one single person is unfair. Yes, someone would have been supervising the development of that mission but video game development is much more complex than that.

Although many of you guys seem to be complaining about the frequency of enemy spawns, I can't say I had that issue myself. Maybe it's because for the most part, I avoided the roads, and had a habit of walking around the world. In general, it felt like it made more sense. You're a wanted man in the mostly hostile environment. I didn't feel the frequency of enemy spawns was unusual, it gave me the sense that the Peggies were the majority, not the minority, within this universe. When I did drive, I just wanted to get from A to B quickly, so I just ignored the hostile vehicles. In general, I felt like the acquisition of new quests felt organic. As I made an effort to explore new locations on foot, I often discovered quests and NPCs directly, but was informed of others by NPCs and notes that I found. Likely contributing to this, I never sought to complete all of the quests available, so I didn't find myself deliberately searching for people to speak to, and I just took what I found, as it appeared.

I played some of the arcade multiplayer last night. Someone was stood on a roof with infinite grenades, throwing them at our spawn point. I looked in the loadout options and neither team had a loadout with infinite grenades available (not even sure this is possible). I guess this is just a bug? In any case, a weird and frustrating experience. Managed to get pretty good at the actual gunplay in arcade though. As headshots one-shot kill and bodyshots do next to nothing, once you get used to it you can easily take on a few players at once, because the difference between the time to kill of someone that's only aiming for headshots, and someone that's aiming for bodyshots, is insane. No guarantee players make maps with decent loadout or fun loadout options though. Same, to be honest. Really enjoying it, but only half way through. The only issue I've experienced is that one of my missions says its incomplete on the map screen even though I've beaten it. It registers as complete on the log though, just the icon for it still appears. That, and I have lots of problems with the arcade mode. The usability of the toolset is terrible, and the core mechanics for PvP just aren't that polished.

I've been messing around in the arcade, particularly the PvP stuff. I kind of like the way it encourages you to just play random maps and whatnot, just a bit of fun. However, the way weapons work and feel in multiplayer is just horrible. I guess it's the really tanky enemies that go down in one headshot that makes it often feel like sheer chance when an enemy goes down, or doesn't. Aim assist awkwardly sticks onto targets but because they're not moving like in the campaign, it's not helpful, it drags you away from moving targets Overall the gunplay just feels off. Making things worse a lot of the guns / mechanics just feel really unfair / weird. Instantly killing melee attacks that initiate a forced animation, shotguns that inconsistently one-shot kill, snipers that do the same. Grenades don't kill, they knock you over into a fixed animation. Hitmarkers also don't appear consistently, sometimes it's even difficult to tell who's on your team, because their coloured silhouette doesn't appear. I get that it's because most of these mechanics were just carried over from the campaign, but as it is it's as if they took inspiration from the design guide of multiplayer don'ts, and put it all into Far Cry 5's PvP. Multiplayer matches just aren't fun for me, regardless of the map or map design, and that's a problem. It's all good and well having and impressive toolset for map creation, but what good is any of it if the gameplay isn't enjoyable.

Would be more fun than it is if it didn't carry over the unresponsive controls from the base game. But if you didn't notice the input lag, then you'll likely have fun with it. It's also kind of irritating how much it relies on explicit marking of players. Because the maps are clearly, not designed for PVP, they have to use the drone system and a central tower (that players can activate to see the opposing team) so as to centralise gameplay. In general, it feels like it would be better if it were designed with PVP in mind from the ground up, and objectives could have been used to centralise gameplay without excessive use of the marking system.

Regarding the post above about characters to start with... Characters to avoid when you start playing: Characters that depend on map knowledge (like Fuze, because it's important you know what's on the other side, when you Fuze) Characters to play when you start playing: Characters that help you build map knowledge, like Twitch, as you get to drone around and explore the maps, in a reduced risk environment. None of the characters are that complicated, the barrier to this game is learning the maps, spots where people hide, and how to approach peeking, etc. I wouldn't worry too much if you do end up playing the more complex characters - because none of them are all that complex, but at the same time you could get over the more long-term learning barriers by picking characters that help you learn the maps faster. As for defenders. I don't know, the same rule applies, but I don't know which defenders help you build map knowledge faster. Arguably someone like Kalplan, because you have to explore all of the buildings entry points to try out your traps etc.

Strix is ridiculous sometimes... It's just frightening to play against him. One moment it'll be 5 vs 5 then suddenly your team will be 2 champs down without any warning, and you're wiped. I don't think he's broken personally. I mean maybe this is because I play this on PS4 but there are a lot of characters that counter Drogos really easily. He's extremely powerful but I'd say he's also perhaps the easiest champ to kill. He has slow mobility and no escape. Cassie can roll away, Victor runs etc. Furia, Lian, Strix, Kinesa, Victor, Tyra are all pretty good counters to drogos, they can output similar DPS on a single target to him and they all have hitscans with no significant damage falloff. A lot of flanks destroy him too. Maeve for instance, I find extremely difficult to hit with Drogos on console. Movement speed Lex is impossible to hit too. The rest of the flanks are probably a pretty even matchup, again this is where the lack of a meaningful movement utility to escape hitscans really hurts drogos. Characters like Cassie can escape someone hitting her on the flank and put the fight back into a position where she's at an advantage, but Drogoz struggles to do this against hitscans. Some people like the forward boost on thrust as you can use it to get over and away from your opponent, but it doesn't work at high levels of play.

People really overrate Lex's auto-aim ability. It's literally only worth using to finish someone off instead of reloading. 1100 damage in 1.4s is not a lot of damage at all. It leaves Lex really vulnerable, and deals lower dps than his default attack. If anything, the fact that he doesn't have a good damaging ability is what makes Lex a fairly mediocre Flank. His slide is okay as a getaway, and his justice mechanic (wallhack stuff) is neat, but he doesn't have anything decent to help secure a kill (e.g. Bucks slow) or to finish someone else with (Maeve burst damage). Drogos only has to get one shot on Lex while Lex is doing his stupid 1.4 second attack to even out on damage.

Except Buck is great, Pip is pretty mediocre. I wouldn't say Pips bad but I think generally teams do better with a more focused healer, and I think as an off-healer Furia can deal more damage while also healing more consistently. Pip and Buck both have pretty weird kits because they were designed for the original Paladins. Where the game featured huge maps necessitating movement abilities that allowed heroes to travel great distances. They did rework Pips kit, and transformed him from a damage roll into a healing roll but in trying to retain the aggressive character that he was before, they made him a bit of a weird hybrid between support and flank. Playing him as a flank is inefficient, because he doesn't get bonus credits for flank kills, he gets bonus credits for healing. So if you're picking him as a flank, you're better off playing any other flank, and playing him as support, well, you're better off playing other supports. That's why people rarely pick Pip. He has some advantages though, small hitbox is good for avoiding snipers compared to other healers, and the AOE on his primary is good for spreading cauterise across the opposing team.

Managed to rank up from Bronze V to Gold 1 over the last handful of days. Even at gold one though, people don't seem to understand that team comp matters. It blows my mind that I'm finding myself in matches where we don't have frontlines or supports. The last game I played, I had first pick so I picked my regular character, Strix. None of my team picked any supports, or front line champions. We lost the game. 4-0. Sure, I picked Strix and I could have played Support or Frontline, but it's easy to assume that your team will make the appropriate picks. If I'm down to the last two and we don't have a Support or Tank, I'll pick support. Fuck, pick a support then trade with me if you have to. --- Also, what determines who gets to chose to pick/ban?

Yeah. It can be a long waste of time too. Like in one of the recent games I had we were able to stop them pushing the payload all the way, but not strong enough as a team to capture the payload to begin with. Therefore, it was pretty obvious that we couldn't win. We just got slaughtered whenever we got near them. On the 3rd round, as they got close to pushing the payload to our base, our tank just gave up and stopped playing. I guess she wanted it to end? We'd been in a game that we clearly couldn't win for 15+ minutes, it's frustrating. I joined her. I wanted it over and done with, and there was no point in continuing with the bad comp and one player down. --- Problematically, in these situations players don't even buy the right items or adopt the right strategies to compensate. If you've fucked up and started a match with no supports then you need to buy cauterise and focus on taking down the supports. But they don't, they just play the same crappy strategy they normally do. I like that Paladin's doesn't allow hero switching but this really necessitates careful champion selection, particularly in ranked play. What do the load times matter in a multiplayer game? You have to wait for everyone else to load before the game can begin anyway.

In my experience, those are slow on any platform largely because the game is making calls to the server every time you do something in the menu. Even if you run everything super low it doesn't function at light speed on PC. For example, even when Frostfangs plays on the absolute lowest setting, it takes a few seconds to load up a view of a champion. In Frostfangs video It even takes LONGER to exit out of a game when set to the lowest settings Than it does when played on maximum settings I would think you'd be looking at marginal, if any benefit / difference on the Switches internal vs external storage. It certainly makes no noticeable difference on my PS4 Pro with SSD vs my regular PS4 without SSD.

Seem to be on a losing streak tonight in ranked. Very frustrating. I feel like I'm playing my role very well relative to the level of play I'm at, and yet it just isn't cutting it. Whose are these losses? I'm aware that technically, we're a team and therefore it's our teams fault, but I think identifying weakness is at least an interesting takeaway. In this first one, I think it's Cassie. Cassie should be topping the team DPS total and that's quite a lot of deaths on her part, at least relative to her contribution. Here I think it's all of them. It doesn't make sense as to why any of them were dying that frequently, unless they were funnelling into battle one at a time. If you die more than 15 times in a match then you probably just didn't have a strong presence in the game. Knowing when to pull out, where to position yourself, etc. is key to not dying, and these guys didn't seem to have a good handle on the overall flow of the match. I didn't want to play Drogos but my team mate picked Strix and then didn't want to swap. I think Mal'Damba was at fault here. Also none of our team bought Wrecker therefore the shields from Barikk and Ash were quite hard to deal with. I picked caut off the bat, most of them bought caut or deft hands. I asked the Fernando to pick Wrecker and he said no, that wrecker was useless and bought bulldozer to deal with Barikk's turrets. I told him it was a bad decision, but I'm not 100% on that. I think Wrecker would have been a better bet to take down Ash and Barrik's walls.

Man, Drogos is so good. His Salvo is incredibly powerful. Combine it with a combustible shot and you're dealing over 2K damage in an AOE. That's better than many characters ultimate abilities, and you have it on a 20 second cooldown (much lower with the right perks). I think he's the only character I can easily carry a game with. I buy cauterise, and wipe out the enemy supports without breaking a sweat. I often play other damage characters but it's hard to put the pressure on and confirm a kill with a lot of them if your team aren't supporting. For instance it's easy for Seris to go invulnerable after you deal some damage, or Ying to teleport away, but Drogos doesn't have to deal with that, he wipes them off the map. You can use coins to buy some of the palette swap skins. I'd say it's worth spending on those before you consider using them to level up your character.

If you watch pro matches it's often that 4/5 will pick caut or wrecker. Decisions that should influence which you pick Screenshot from the opening of a pro league game () Supports often like to buy cool down reduction in particular, because it means you can get more healing out onto your team, but generally speaking if you're damage or flank then caut/wrecker is almost an essential first pick. You outright lose games if your team don't get their purchases right early on.

Play of the game in Paladin's is always such ass. It doesn't seem take anything into account other than the kill/damage frequency. So often ends up in really crappy situations like Tyra dealing a significant amount of damage with a grenade, while getting a kill, or Victor spraying down two people. In my last game I got a quad with Strix, and it got beaten out of play of the game by a Victor triple Spray. Sure, whatever.

Yeah, but it doesn't really bother me there to be honest. Just seems like right now, I either have really close games or get absolutely steamrolled, and when we get steamrolled my team don't do anything to compensate what's happening. They either run right back in as soon as they respawn (and die) or quit playing. I don't even mind losing if I can have a good game. Potentially learning something and having some fun in a close match, but as my team mates tend to lose spirit as soon as we start doing poorly, it just snowballs into a loss where there's nothing interesting happening anymore.

Other than obvious stuff, like pick caut/wrecker depending on enemy team composition. Try to pick heroes that fit your team comp. If you have last pick of hero you have quite a bit of power to counterpick, etc. If you're one of the first picks, the odds are that someone may explicitly counterpick you so be cautious picking champs that are super vulnerable to specific strategies (e.g. if you pick Skye, don't be surprised if someone picks Strix to reveal you for the entire game).

It would be great if auto-purchasing just bought caut/wrecker depending on your opponents team composition. I'm guessing 90% of players have auto purchasing on, because I can't see any other explanation as to why no one ever makes the right purchases. If the opposing team is running 2+ supports or frontlines then Generally speaking healing champions can do more healing, than any champion can deal damage. Therefore, irrespective of how skilful you and your team are with your champions, you won't outdamage their healing/shielding. The only exception to this is if you know your team already have those covered or if your character isn't suited to spreading caut / dealing damage via wrecker (e.g. someone like Maldamba isn't that effective at spreading damage or dealing damage to shields).

Strix a lot of fun. Sometimes hard to make enough of a difference if your frontline isn't present though. The game I was playing above, I was having no trouble picking people off, including their supports, persistently, but they had Terminus, Seris and the new healer (forget her name). My team had Grover and Khan but Grover was persistently sat on a rooftop throwing Axe's at people, as opposed to supporting Khan. Grover players can be the worst. Yes, his Axe does more damage over a long distance, but that doesn't mean you should sacrifice your supporting role to play a pseudo sniper.

Yeah I've found Zhin can be ridiculous on console for some reason. I don't think he's too threatening of a character generally but you don't need to be especially accurate with his sword swipes to hit something. Whereas in contrast, due to dual analog aiming, a lot of people have trouble hitting you. Additionally, if you use his spinning attack (I forget the name) to pass through an opponent, you get 400 damage plus an extra strike for free, simply because console players cannot turn around fast enough. Same with Evie too. Shoot them from one side, teleport behind, shoot them again, teleport back (wormhole). You can get 1600 damage for free, and by the end of this situation they're usually disorientated and weak, so they'll just try and run away - you can finish them off as they run or fly at them pursue, and kill. Super easy. I've played more games than that with her now though, stats aren't updated for whatever reason. Still that 5.3 KDA comes from console players not being able to react to high-mobility characters, particularly at mid levels of play. With this said, whenever I play other Evie's or Zhin's, they're pretty free. Evie's tend to be straight up awful on console, and Zhin's are easy to deal with if you just pursue them when they billow. That's their only escape gone, and billow isn't too fast unless they have the movement speed card.

It used to be the case that you could spend coins on the small chests, most of them would contain cards (the card unlock system is now gone) but sometimes you'd get skins and whatnot. It felt like a decent reward for playing. However, now there's next to nothing to spend your gold on. As I said above, you can also spend your gold on levelling up your character. Though, that doesn't really get you anything interesting, and it costs a lot just to gain a small number of levels. You can also buy the master rank stuff that you get (master rank emote, and obsidian skin) but you have to unlock that by hitting the appropriate rank with the character. Currently I have 400,000 gold. It's really annoying to be honest because I used to own most of the skins, but they revoked them and gave us a gold refund.

The other option is to buy the battle pass then just buy the remaining levels at the end of the season. You can buy one battle pass level for 70 gems. So if you got to level 30, you could buy the remaining 20 levels for 1400 gems. Not really a good option though. Honestly it's quite manipulative. The XP requirement escalates per level making it both increasingly difficult for players to hit level 50 and difficult to determine how long it will take. This is intentional, to leave a large number of players short of hitting their target. Players are likely to see their time as a sunk cost. Therefore, their time is held ransom to the cost of whatever remaining levels they have. I'd argue that Battle Passes are about as manipulative as loot boxes to be honest.

Why on earth did Hi-Rez think that if you disconnect the bot should spend all of your money? Why? The AI don't do shit, they walk in a straight line to the objective and die over and over again. Any player replaced by the AI typically ends a game with 0 kills and 1 or 2 assists, 20+ deaths. I get why putting an AI into the game might help players feel like they have a full team, but if by making purchases they're actually hindering the match should the player return. Tried for 2 days and it just didn't work. Missed out on the sale because of it seemingly. Can't purchase the next bundle on PS4 either, must be broken for PS4 users? The PS4 version of the game seems straight up broken anyway. For example, the loading screen only covers 1/4 of the screen, with the other 3/4 filled with empty black space. The game crashes on a semi-regular basis, and there are so many weird bugs and glitches related to individual characters. I was in a game last night with a Khan who had some weird visual glitch where he was filling the screen with weird green particles. As Strix, it was almost impossible to get a good view of what was actually happening and what I was shooting.

There were times where I used his ability on zone, and when timed right it would guarantee we captured that zone, which is more impactful than any other vehicle on the field in my opinion, but the huge amount of time between using Rush and building the next one, I feel very vulnerable / almost useless.

I'm still interested but for me there hasn't been anything really exciting release recently. Not a fan of DBFZ, I don't like Dragon Ball or the faster paced fighting games like Marvel generally. I like the neutral game, zoning, footsies, etc. SFV delivers on that to an extent but it could be a better game. Fighting Ex Layer looks janky, low budget and I don't like the art. The most interesting new fighting game in in the last 10 years was Blazblue, and I followed that for a while but dropped off with all of the reiterations.

Thread: Why women criticise sexualised character designs (READ OP)
Purely anecdotal evidence, but my sister, who typically avoids western rpgs, bought Dragon Age Inquisition because it was 'one of the only Western RPGs with a good story and characters'. She also liked the Witcher 3, but the most part isn't interested in Western RPGs because they are more combat rather than story orientated. Something to bear in mind, is that the wrpg and jrpg labels are pretty arbitary. What we see in the data is that women find games with a story focus, appealing (the ratio of women playing 'Interactive Drama' and 'Atmospheric Exploration' is close to 40%). As for Assassins Creed syndicate. It might have benefited from having a women as a female character, and if I recall, she was also central to the games marketing. Whatever it was though, they decided not to take the same approach with Origins.

That's not because they are biased to employing male developers. It's because the gender split on game dev courses is like 10/90 in favour of male. In general, there are very few women in the tech sector. It's a huge issue, and yes it does influence game development. With that said, there are a fair number of women in game dev, that sit in marketing, production and management roles. Again, it goes back to an issue that's likely rooted in societal attitudes towards gender across childhood development.

Thread: Why women criticise sexualised character designs (READ OP)
Just wanted to weigh in on this, and hope my opinion isn't controversial. I think a big part of the reason you see a lot of sexualised designs is that in reality, video games aren't made to target everyone. As a user researcher I get to see a lot of the marketing side of video game development, and it's not uncommon that a game developer will assign a persona of a user that's a 20-40 year old male (obviously this is just an example, and will vary quite a bit, sometimes the target audience will be female, particularly for mobile games). The game is then designed to attract that audience of players. Some of the criticism of sexualisation in games operates around the assumption that games are made for everyone, but this isn't true. And I would imagine that the reason genders aren't given equal representation is likely that this contrasts the data that the publishers have, suggesting that their target audience likes sexualised female characters. This is particularly true for Eastern developers, who in my experience, describe the sexualisation as an issue that only impacts their Western audience. Personally I think many of the issues that we label as sexism stem from how boys and girls are treated in early childhood. Not just video games, but the tech industry in general is marketed towards boys, and not girls. Girls have to deviate from the social norms of their peers if they want to play something like video games. It's not just video games either, and sexualisation of women isn't at the heart of the issue - if I think back to playing Pokemon, Magic, or Dungeons and Dragons at school, those are all activities that were marketed towards males, and a girl would often need to deviate from the social norms of her peers, if she wanted to play with them. I think those social norms for females are curated by the toys and whatnot, that are marketed towards them, and I think this is a the root of the problem. Why would developers start making games for women, if our society teaches women from an early age, that games, and activities analogous to them, are not designed for them. Note that boys toys are analogues with activities we see in popular video games, girls toys are not. I think this is at the heart of the problem. By the time you're looking at these mainstream video games like Street Fighter V, League of Legends, Paladin's etc that are featuring sexualised representations of women, the target audience has been exposed to the same type of experience for the last 15 years of their lives. Shooters and action games are played to predominantly male players, and it is this way, because males are taught to like this type of experience from an early age. This then, leads to the sexaulisation of female characters, because in honesty, the reality is that many males do find those designs appealing. I would argue that it wouldn't be this way if we had more gender overlap between the activities both sexes of children enjoy. This, I argue is the cause of the issue, and the sexualisation of females we see in, for example, Dead or Alive, is just a symptom of it. Getting the developers to adjust their representation of women doesn't remedy the issue - in Dead or Alive's case, the only thing it would be likely do would be to negatively impact the comercial performance of the game. This isn't to say that I feel that any of this is the way things should be, just giving my opinion on why things are the way they are.

Thread: Why women criticise sexualised character designs (READ OP)
It's not the same in film, though. The Avengers movies, for instance, are actually targeted towards both men and women. Thor for instance, arguably features more scenes with sexualised male characters, than it does female. Here's some data from The Avengers 40% male, 60% female. It's not split that way across individual games / platforms across the video game industry, and is directly analogous of how it's not split evenly, across the tech sector. In general, I think film is pretty nicely portrayed for both men, and women, even from an early age. While I would argue that girls cartoons are pretty bad, but films targeted towards kids accommodate both sexes pretty well. Look at Dreamworks and Pixar. There films are very much, gender neutral with their marketing. Kids are exposed to that content in film from an early age, it's not outside of the social norm for a girl to watch the latest Marvel movie, as it would be for a girl to play the latest Call of Duty.

Thread: Why women criticise sexualised character designs (READ OP)
He just linked data from the Quantic Foundry survey of 270,000 gamers, and you're rebuttal is a survey with a minimal, 1000 player sample size. Alongside some other arbitrary infographics. I get your point but the data you presented is meaningless. I don't think anyone is using that data to suggest that women couldn't be interested in certain games or genres, however, I do feel that the data indicates that there are likely issues beyond the sexaulisation of women in games, that make the genre unpopular with women. For example, going back to what I was saying above, I think the gender designation of childhood toys, and how many boys toys are direct analogues to male-dominated video game genres, is likely a significant factor and arguably a huge part of the issue.

This is just a thought but something I always wanted to do on GAF, but never even got around to suggesting was attempt to create an OT dedicated to gamedev career development and mentoring. Do you guys think that would be possible here on resetera? The intent of the thread would be to give provide a little bit of info about the various pathways into the games industry, and provide forum readers a point of contact in various fields, where they could ask practical questions about the industry and help other gaffers both understand the industry, and what they need to do break into it. It would require a list of industry members willing to take on a few mentees, and the OT creator could act as a gatekeeper (preventing mentors being messaged by everyone on the forum). Thoughts on that idea? Are there enough people working in the games industry, across various fields, to make something like that work? I'm a User Researcher working in games, so I'd be willing to volunteer advice from that angle.

You'll probably want a Pro Controller, but that's an extra $80. Still it's an extra controller for you and your fam, and it's one that you may prefer to use for a lot of games. You may also want the HORI play stand to make handheld mode more enjoyable. A screen protector is also highly, HIGHLY recommended, especially since this is for your daughter. are the best, and super easy to apply. For long trips an external batter is also great to have. 3. Steamworld Dig 2, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Captain Toad, Snipperclips, Pokemon Quest, Pinball FX3, Super Beat Sports, Kirby Star Allies, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and Overcooked are all games you guys would probably love, and most of those you can play together! 4.

Thread: Fortnite Live One Time Event [Happened]
In my honest opinion, no other game is doing F2P better than Fortnite. You don't have to pay a dime to play the most popular game in the world, and you don't have to pay a dime to partake in these unique live events, evolving story threads, and map changes. When you DO pay for a Battle Pass, you not only get rewards right up front, but it also unlocks tons of new challenges and milestones to work for all season long. I love that it doesn't just give you stuff. It gives you much, much more to do. Non-paying players also have challenges to unlock and work toward throughout the season, but those who are willing to pay for the Battle Pass are likely the players who play much more frequently, and their willingness to pay and play is rewarded with even more reasons to play. In the end, it looks like everyone is getting what they want, and the rotating modes keep things fresh. I've played Fortntie for months now because we report on it so frequently -- it was just a part of my job -- but now I consider myself a fan. EPIC is doing such a great job with this project.

I wouldn't say casual per se, but definitely more streamlined. The gameplay is tailored to encourage more aggressive, faster matches, which is perfect for me. Heroes also have fewer abilities. Each "champ" will have a main attack, two abilities, a passive ability, and an ultimate. Each character also has a ton of slots you unlock over time, into which you insert items that augment things like their attack speed, cast speed, total health, magic points, magic strength, attack pierce, etc. These augments are such that, at high levels of play, two players using the same hero may use them in vastly different ways. The main gameplay loop is the same. Three lanes, multiple towers in each lane, jungle and jungle enemies, and powerful items you purchase throughout the match as you level up and get gold.

West of Loathing has been really enjoyable so far. I woke up my wife last night laughing out loud at the writing, and I'm the type who never laughs in movies or shows or games; something about this humor just resonates with me and the writing is so cheeky. It is a bit slow-going, but the RPG elements are tied in uniquely and humorously, kind of like what you've seen in the South Park RPGs. For the price, I think it's one of the safest buys on the eshop right now. Just Shapes & Beats continues to entertain, surprise, and challenge me. I love it very much. There are so many Super Mario references and obvious inspirations in some of the "boss fights," and some of the songs are such over the top bangers. The constant mash-up of audio visual spectacle and bullet-hell challenges have had me glued to the screen, headphones on, with bated breath.

I also suck at literally all racing sim games because I have no idea how to tune my car for specific event types and I cannot drift to save my life. Forza Horizon and Mario Kart are my jam, anything more serious or demanding than that I do not handle very well.

Thread: LTTP: Final Fantasy Tactics. Why haven't I played this sooner?!
I'm right there with you OP. I'm a bit of a faker because I played this when I was a kid, right after VII, and I loved it so much but only got about five or six hours in and never beat it. Ever since then, though, I've always claimed it as one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. I bought it again on PSP but the slowdown during battle made it unbearable. Now I have it on my phone, where it runs perfectly, and I really need to finish it this time. I've always been very impressed by the writing, and I know the story has many hidden meanings.

It looks like the trade-in value for Pro members at GameStop is roughly $18 for the pink, and about$16 for the green. So, per pair, you'd get about $34 of trade in credit. Assuming you pay about $29-$30 per pair at Walmart after tax, is this even worth it? In the end you're coming out about $5 on top. Do I really want to spend $75 to get about $90 of GameStop credit...

Just take your time. Grind a bit. Use your abilities more liberally instead of waiting to store up overcharge. You can always exit the dungeon, go sleep at the inn, and then go back and pick up where you left off. Get as far as you can in the dungeon going all-out in battles, exhaust that MP, go back and sleep, walk around and engage in battles on the world map for a bit, go sleep, and then go back to the dungeon. A little grinding never hurts!

Thread: Battle Chasers Nightwar |OT| Now on the Switch
Huh. Well that seemed unnecessarily combative. As for me, I enjoyed the game very much, but didn't hesitate to point out what I considered to be minor, but obvious, issues. Unless a launch day patch corrected all of this, the frame rate does drop noticeably while in exploration sections / dungeons. A few of the early game dungeons show noticeable drops, particularly the sewers underneath the tavern. Undocked, the resolution and aliasing are a bit muddy during these segments as well, but again, not to an extreme degree at all (just noticeable). My other gripe -- again, a minor gripe -- was loading times. There are many, and they can be pretty long. Going in and out of dungeons, and even initiating many battles. Sometimes combat starts instantly, and sometimes a loading screen pops up first. Otherwise I've enjoyed the game very much, and have spoken highly of it.

My tv does also have a motion plus kind of setting that is supposed to smooth stuff out, I wonder if turning that off would help. I'm pretty sure it's already off, though... I'll have to tinker with stuff when I get home from work. I play many other 60 fps games though and have never had any issues. Rocket League and Fortnite are two I've played recently, for example, and I haven't had any issues with framerate. Edit: really sorry for bumping the thread with this. Y'all should be talking about the game and how much fun you're having! I will say I have been enjoying the music very much, and it's been kicking my ass.

Okay I brought this up in the other thread but I need to know: Is anyone else experiencing / talking about super inconsistent frame rates when the notes stream down? I'm playing on a PS4 Pro and I've tried with Boost Mode off and on. It's legit throwing me off. I'm very rhythmically oriented, and I get into a deep groove watching those notes stream down. I kind of blur out my vision and rely on the rate at which they fall down to know when and what notes to hit. When the frames start slowing down and the note prompts start dragging it messes me up, and it's maddening. There really is no excuse for this not being 60 fps 100% of the time, but no one else could corroborate the issue in the other thread.

Not too shocked, to be honest. I could see them censoring it even if it was a guy and a girl. I think it was less to do about it being a lesbian kiss and more to do with the fact that it crosses over into "making out" territory, and you can see tongue going into mouth. I'm not sure what Disney XD typically allows when it comes to that kind of thing, but tongue-in-mouth does seem a little off-brand for a Disney channel.

No doubt they just saw a huge influx or trials go live and, if I were in charge, I'd want to make sure that all of those people see some awesome games join the lineup right afterward so they can say, "Wow, this is going to be so worth it." Forza Horizon 3 would have been a great addition, for example. Either way, I'm subbed and plan to stay subbed; I just think it's strange that Xbox didn't take this chance to hook that two-week trial crowd.

I'm having a great time so far, and can say with confidence that I vastly prefer the new controls over mobile. I do, however, wish that they would let us use the touch-screen to select specific items in the store to buy. It seems like you have to select an upgrade path, and then when you have enough gold it will auto-suggest one of two options and you have to pick one of those two, is that right? Have y'all figured out a way to browse around and select any item you can afford at any point in time?

Thanks, I know that you can pre-determine your item upgrade path beforehand, and I know that you can turn auto-purchase off, but as far as I can tell once you're in a match it still only allows you to select one of the individual item upgrade paths, and then decide between one of two items at any given time, as opposed to choosing literally any available item that you can currently afford with gold on-hand. The latter you can do in the mobile version, and I'm used to kind of tweaking my build on the fly that way, but on Switch I've yet to see how to do that.

Left on the d-pad does indeed bring up the store and, while it *shows* all of the items, you cannot select individual items. Tapping them does nothing with the touchscreen, and you can only navigate up and down entire upgrade paths, not individual items (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If it's anything like the mobile version, your first few matches will be against AI opponents as a way to kind of "round out" the tutorial, and then it moves to pure PvP.

I've had to break out healing items for pretty much every boss I've fought, yes. Honestly, I like it. I'm the type of person who hoards items and never uses them. I've found that Octopath both showers me with healing a boost items, and also demands that I use them generously when needed. That seems like a pretty good balance to me! Kind of in the same way that SMT / Persona games actually force you to use buff / debuff spells for bosses, when typically, those types of spells just go to waste.

When I booted everything up it still showed up as having no battery, and ended up dying after about half an hour. Do these charge obnoxiously slowly, or do I have a faulty Move controller? This came out of the box, new.

Thread: PlayStation VR |OT| Virtually A New Era
Hey guys! I'm a spoiled brat, and so incredibly lucky, because Sony sent us the Skyrim PSVR bundle and it ended up falling into my hands. So obviously I have Skyrim to play, but I've recently put in so many hours into Skyrim on Switch I'm not sure if I can bring myself to start yet another new file. I'm wondering what you all consider to be the best games to play using the move controllers. I'll probably pick up Superhot. My wife and I also had a lot of fun with the play room. Any can't miss suggestions for me while I'm willing to impulse buy?

Thread: Pocket Rumble Switch Edition | Pixel-Perfect Pugilism (OT)
I think I honestly prefer playing with the Joy-Con directional buttons. It's easier for me to tell when I'm holding straight down vs down diagonal for attacks. I really love this so far. But holy SHIT the AI is such a try hard. This is the only fighting game I've ever played where I feel like I need to go play online to stop getting my ass kicked. Usually it's the other way around. I hope they update the game to add more variety to the difficulty.

Wow guys, really? OP, definitely reach out to them on Twitter, and definitely call customer support again. As soon as you encounter someone saying that they can't do anything about it, firmly request that they escalate the matter and demand to speak to the next most-senior rep available. If the points are gone, then this can definitely be traced back to the transaction and the employees who lied to you can definitely be held accountable. It may be uncomfortable, but you may need to go back to the store in person and ask when a manager will be in, and then go talk to them directly.

Thread: Arena of Valor |OT| 200 Million Players, Not Enough Warriors
I asked a Tencent rep that very question during an interview, and from what I can tell, I think they're going to keep the mobile and Switch versions and accounts separate. Since they are really serious about this being a competitive game, they were thinking that cross-play wouldn't be a good idea, because players on mobile could cite unfair gameplay advantages to those able to use a controller (or vice versa). Basically, since this is going to be an esport that Tencent pours money into, they want to make sure that everyone is playing on the level, which means keeping controls the same for everyone.

I have found that ERA is generally averse to admitting that mobile games can be great and competitive games, which is why this has largely flown under the radar. Many of us have been talking about it for a while, though, and honestly I think it plays even better on Switch. I think people will come around once it actually launches. It's a fantastic game, and Tencent has already shown ample support for it on mobile. It is ongoing, and concluding soon, so no. They'll probably do another one, though, or else announce a launch date in the near future. They already had a major beta phase in Europe.

Damn, sometimes I hate this player-base so much. After a 5-win streak, and a fresh rank up to Silver II, I got on a team with 3 people who all wanted to pick marksmen and we had one warrior. No mage, no real tanks... So I picked Grakk, who I rarely play. I couldn't choose my main because the team was so unbalanced, but no one would switch. I kept sending messages, but everyone thought they would be the ultimate badass marksman I guess. Well, our team got rocked, and everyone spread out everywhere doing their own thing, and the other team was of course perfectly balanced and working together. I had 6 deaths and didn't accumulate much gold. Our Valhein had 5 deaths and only had 1K more gold than me, but at the end of the match multiple teammates reported me, and my credibility ranking just took a hit for the first time since I downloaded the game. I know it's not a big deal, but I was absolutely infuriated. I'm still fuming, and wish I could appeal those reports somehow.

Thread: Arena of Valor |OT| 200 Million Players, Not Enough Warriors
Great advice, thank you. I wasn't angry with my teammates because I died or because I had to swap roles. Like I said, our primary marksman died just as much as I did (five times), so I wasn't embarrassed or anything. I was just upset and felt targeted. I got reported, I assume for feeding, when I was just trying to do my best with a character I didn't know how to play, and comparatively, I didn't actually die very much. Admittedly, I should have just stuck with Chaugnar. His damage output is minimal, but he's obviously still tanky and could have filled the "warrior" need well enough. I also play Chaug pretty conservatively. I poke with my abilities and dive into team fights sparingly, only when my ult is ready to go (because it negates controlling effects and allows me to spam an ability for a few seconds). Playing a more aggressive role I felt more compelled to get involved in team fights because I knew everyone else in my lane was squishy AF. I got involved too much and got targeted most of the time, so the issues soon fed into each other as I was soon underleveled with few items. This is my first MOBA, and I'm still learning how to deal with team composition and roles. Playing almost exclusively with randoms I find that I take it upon myself to make sure we have a balanced team, when I know that shouldn't be my concern and mine alone. I definitely should have picked my battles more wisely or stuck with the character I knew. I'm also comfortable using a couple of mages, but in this instance, the last thing we needed was another squishy champ.

FYI: the interview will take me a bit to transcribe because the spokesperson was a little difficult to understand. I'll have it up on Monday or Tuesday. For the sake of this thread and discussion here, I will go ahead and disclose that, according to Tencent, a lot of the finer details about the Switch launch are still in the air and under discussion. He did mention that the positive North American response has been welcome and that the team is wanting catch up the US market to where Europe is. He said that the mobile test servers were prepared first in Europe, and so the Switch test servers were also prepared first. After the EU Switch beta concludes, they'll make a more concentrated effort to do everything at the same time. He did not have a solid window to offer me for the US Switch beta or Switch launch. He also said that Tencent is still trying to decide if accounts will be shared between Switch and mobile, and if there will be cross-play between the two, or if they will make those accounts completely separate. He said the team is concerned that by sharing accounts and servers between the two versions, it could lead to complaints about unfair advantages on one platform or the other. They have not made a decision in that regard. I also asked about pricing on the Switch -- whether they would keep the same free-to-play / in-game purchases model, or opt for a premium one-time purchase model. He said that Tencent focuses on monetization last, and that gameplay, balance, controls, and roster all come before that discussion. He made it clear that monetization is something they're not concerned with figuring out right at this moment; they just want to get the gameplay right in all of its facets. He also said that, at this point in time, the DC Heroes are seen as a permanent part of the Arena of Valor game. He wasn't concerned about any future licensing woes.

I've thought about this, actually. The 'A' button could initiate your basic attack. There are only two abilities and an ultimate, right? Let's consider using your first ability. Simply hold down the left trigger while you aim with the right stick, and release the trigger to use your ability. Click in the right stick to cancel. Same with the second ability and the right trigger. For your ultimate, pull both triggers at once. That leaves you free at all times to keep moving with the left stick, and aim with the right stick. I assume targeting will work the same as it does on mobile. You can adjust parameters in settings that will adjust your targeting priorities between minions, towers, and heroes.

I'm working on this as well. The downside is, when playing tank / support, my teammates seem to get really mad at me when I don't rush in and absorb the abuse of the enemy team on their behalf. I know that's what a tank does, but I'm not going to rush in and get killed every time they want to make an advance. I poke, retreat, poke, retreat, rush in for a couple quick abilities, retreat... It's like they expect me to just rush in and act as a magnet.

I would assume that, if you were looking to play tank / support, that any arcana you've saved up should still apply. My tier III arcana for Chaugnar has been pretty great for Grakk as well. Ability damage, high HP, and high DF and magic DF. Actually, now that I've spent so much on tier III arcana for Chaugnar I feel pretty locked into that role. I feel like I'd be gimped picking a mage or assassin -- even though those bonuses are so small compared to the items you unlock in the course of play.

If anything, I typically see too many people trying to drive up the middle. We're definitely witnessing the flattening out of a learning curve at the moment. For many people, and for myself, AoV is our first MOBA. As for the Road to Glory, that will stick around. I'm fact, it caps out at two hero unlocks per day, if I'm not mistaken, and Road to Glory is the only way to unlock those heroes; they can't be purchased. It adds a really rewarding grind for newcomers. I quite enjoyed the constant unlock gratification.

We have a new home! Thanks so much for making us our OT, Zackat. Come join us, Era -- this really is one of the most polished games you'll ever play on your phone. Highly addictive; very competitive; extremely generous with its free heroes.

That's terrible. As someone who has personally wrestled with burnout in an extremely fast-paced work environment, I honestly can't even imagine how he must feel. People deserve to be happy in their work.

I have DropMix and four of the expansions (rock, electronic, hip hop, and pop), as well as one of the random booster packs. One of the expansions (rock) I haven't even opened yet. I love the game, but I never have friends over so I very rarely play it. I may part ways with it. I'm thinking about putting it all together for $100 shipped. That's what the base game costs at retail, and this will come with 69 extra cards (in addition to the 60 base cards). If anyone is definitely interested let me know, otherwise I'll probably just hold onto it.

Thread: Xbox One X Enhanced Games: All Titles, Platforms, and Details
Here is some detail about the work we did on our indie title DANGER ZONE for Xbox One X. We're a tiny team of seven but we're big Xbox fans so when we finally got the performance we needed to get the game running on Xbox (thanks Epic!) we wanted to be there at launch with some Xbox One X improvements. The game will run in native 4K on Xbox One X. In the Settings you get to pick between two options - "Best Quality" or"Best Performance" Best Quality - this setting runs the game at 30hz in native 4k (if you're the lucky owner of a 4K display!) - ALSO if you're still rocking a 1080p display - choosing this setting will supersample the 4K render to your output resolution and give you the sharpest possible image. You also get dynamic shadows enabled. Best Performance - this runs the game at a super smooth and silky 60hz at 1080p resolution. You don't get dynamic shadows enabled. The game doesn't support HDR yet. The reason for that is because the engine that we use, Unreal Engine, didn't support HDR at the time we were finishing the game and submitting it. We use SSAO and SSR as well as Temporal AA, the game renders the HUD in 4K regardless of what setting you choose. And if you boot the game during the Christmas holidays, we put up a tree, put some presents under it for you and play a spectacular 'muzak' version of "Jingle Bells" for your aural listening pleasures. (That comes from being inspired by N64 "Super Mario Kart" all those years ago where the title screen went Gold when you got all Golds - so we wanted to change the game depending on the holiday season!) Hope that fills in the gaps on the front page. Hopefully, if small indies like us can make the effort on Xbox One X then surely all the big teams can do the same!

Thanks for your kind words. "Revenge" was a mixed bag for me personally speaking. It was probably the textbook example of 'messing up' at the time. It came together very very late. And it probably looked a bit too brown and yellow in the end. That said, it does go like "shit off a shovel." And some of the courses are excellent, particularly Steve Uphill's ones. Thanks for being a Dangerous Golfer. A small, but elite band of men and women. Every purchase made by players like you goes *directly* towards our small development group. There are no publishers, middlemen, or shiny suits involved. So thank you for your support! Stay tuned to our website where we'll list any time our titles our on sale. We mail our mailing list every time there is a promotion. But I think there's a good little game there for twelve quid. And the game has got updated twice with more levels since it released. I've paid far more myself for games that received nothing. As the developer, we make seven pounds out of that twelve pound price point after the store owner takes their cut. Not a lot of people realise that, and we hope that our pricing is affordable to most. Each level took close to a full day for me to make. That includes throwing away ideas that didn't work and also iteration time. Each one averaged about seventeen hours. There's a level called "Semi-Conscious" in there - and I can remember playing it 579 times as I added each part to it during the day. I don't think I can play that level ever again. (Maybe there's an Xbox One X in "The Good Place?" ....Janet...?) Still, it's better than digging a ditch as they say.

Mauro - as I don't work for Electronic Arts anymore I really can't make a comment as to what they may or may not do. I have no say in any of it. Black came out on bc Microsoft actually own the rights to it on Xbox formats IIRC- I think I can remember some sort of buyout deal for Black that was done. Maybe even Xbox Burnout 3 as well. But I deleted all of my emails from that period of my career now so have no way of checking. But maybe it was time limited as it popped up in their Vault I noticed. I hope B3 turns up because I'm a fully paid up lifetime member of The Lazy Generation. Would hate to see my membership fees be squandered in vain.

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
Mofo2 has the right answer. Use rtings. They straight up suggest to max brightness in a bright room, which works wonderfully for me, but their recommended brightness settings are great advice in general. I think on a per input basis you can then tweak from there; I like to use some of the filtering settings on the built in Netflix app for my kid's shows. I mean, if you have a history of extreme input lag sensitivity or are a semi pro fighting game player or love to play max speed Beatmania, look elsewhere. But for the games I've tried so far it's great? It's the loss of a frame @ 60 so for most players I think it's not even noticeable. My SNES Classic and Switch run fine. I'm possibly on the less sensitive side of the problem though.

Thread: NYT: NYC Subway built the city. Now at a projected $100 billion — the city must rebuild to survive.
The London/NYC comparison is interesting. Here in Singapore (a city-state/island, so somewhat comparable to Manhattan), the amount of total track is half, with 119 stations and buses covering the gaps. But ridership overall is very close, coming in at about 1 billion/year rough average. I'd say SG is extremely advanced compared to NYC in that it's mostly automated with a card-based system and extremely cheap fares (you pay by distance using fare-debit cards, not by arbitrary zone). But Singapore has substantial advantages in government infrastructure and spending to build, because the population depends on it. Cars are actively discouraged. Montreal is an interesting comparison as it's clearly in much better health than the NYC system, but shares similar problems in terms of infrastructure fatigue. The new trains are nice but the cost and stations are definitely suffering. The Pink Line proposal is interesting but I'm not sure any government would survive the debt taken on to build it. No, because the available land doesn't exist for the most part - the Government would have to begin a repurchasing program. NYC is one of the world's most expensive cities, and then you have to factor in the issue of weather. Digging underground is costly and would shut down parts of the transit system, but it is relatively protected from the problems above.

Did anybody ever run into a PPC+++? I never saw one of those, and only one heat exchanger. One of my friends at work also has two gauss for some reason; likely a bug of some kind... King Crab was definitely an exciting find for me, too, although functionally I find the Atlas to be a much better choice. The 'Crab is just too limited on slots and too fragile in that I can't really find a good alternative to a stock config. I admit it's still fun to just run up the middle and see if you can break some legs, but you tend to need a stock of AC/20++ and +++ to keep it functional.

Honestly rendering is not the problem. It’s data and Unity. Which means CPU. It can be butter smooth and then stall like crazy on my 970. Second to last story map just had huge stalls everywhere, like it needed 8GB just to load and the CPU needed another 2GHz to breathe. Absolutely still enjoying it though. Every time you get that next 10 ton up mech it feels like your strategy is totally revitalized. Had flashbacks to the original Mechwarrior when I ran into that Battlemaster.

Thread: BATTLETECH |OT| Kill the meat, save the metal
Interesting to see all of the balance discussion here. I've had a pretty good time rolling a lance with two AC/20 mechs (hey, I'm midgame, Orion is the biggest mech I've got!) and a Trebuchet to fire missiles. Honestly have found the AC/20 super useful because the game loves to randomly throw in 65-75 ton mechs and the AC/20 (well, especially the AC/20+) is good for killing an arm in one round (usually have a few helper M/Lasers...) Have actually instakilled two Thunderbolts because the AC/20 did lethal pilot damage. I would agree on LRM though, honestly their hit rate is just ridiculously high. Even at 50% may as well fire. I think the best way to approach LRM/SRM balance is strictly accuracy countermeasures; either general mech ECM is better and the accuracy rate is lower, or cover becomes a lot more effective. Hunchback was incredible through the medium/heavy days, though. 9 M/L + Multi-targeting is great for wiping the field and once you start handing over M/Laser+ or ++ things get spicy. (Although, I have an AC/20+++ now?)

Lots of weird lag even on my 3 year old rig.

A really great finale to this chapter of Dishonored.

Fastest way to troubleshoot: 1. : press volume up (and release), press volume down (and release), then hold the side button. ...if that doesn't help... 2. Backup to iCloud 3. Erase all Content and Settings (this will wipe your phone to factory default) 4. Restore from iCloud upon restart ...if that doesn't help... 5. Erase again, but this time don't restore. That's the Apple Store script. It sounds crazy but wiping your phone fixes a surprising number of issues. They pretty much will make you go through these steps before doing a repair or replace.

Yep, as GS says do a factory reset 1. Erase all contents and settings 2. Restore from icloud 3. If that doesn't work, then erase all again and try fresh Those problems shouldn't happen (and don't on mine) but 99% of the time weird iOS issues are because the OS install is broken, which unlike windows tends to be completely silent when it's happening. Any genius bar will force you to go through those steps before issuing a replacement. EDIT: I should say that on past phones, I've had surefire "sounds like hardware problems", like the touch screen failing and the battery dying at 45%. They could reoccur at random, frustrating as hell. As difficult as it is to hear, most of the time this is iOS silently being screwed up. You don't see the fail messages because those occur in system logs only accessible by using a terminal application; there's no popup. Sometimes nothing on system either. It's worth a shot before heading to an Apple Store or outright replacing your phone.

More glass, more screen, aluminum construction. OLED or not, if your whole front face is a screen, by definition weight is going to go up. This is why the iPhone SE is around ~114g. The glass is both for aesthetics (see: iPhone 4) but also to support Qi charging, which will work through cases up to a certain thickness. Certainly they could drop a fair amount of frame weight by switching to plastic, but then the build quality of the unit would feel (if not be) noticeably worse.

Screen is definitely smaller; think of it as a very long 7. But that length is perfect because it just makes portrait mode even better. Websites, email, the stuff you do 90% of the time, feels better, because the screen space dedicated is maxed out. In a text-layout situation like resetera or most other websites, the amount of content you can read feels the same as a plus because it stretches that much farther. Videos look fine to me - the superb OLED screen quality certainly helps - but I admit that I prefer to zoom in, just looks more impressive to cut off some of the image by the screen and notch rather than leave it blank and hold the phone that much closer to your face. The three best demo apps for screen quality I've seen are Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, GNOG, and, of course, just the live wallpapers section in IOS. AC in particular looks unbelievable.

Almost there? I sincerely doubt it. Current LG prototype Transparent OLED displays are lower resolution and around 60% light transmittance, which is the big problem - how are you going to capture competitive camera images? With an array of cameras in the "notch" there's just too much dependance on emittance and transmittance of light. There's also the earpiece to consider. Apple has the money and R&D to figure out something, eventually, but I really doubt it's within the next 5 years. For now, the API handling is just smart consideration that maybe the "notch" has a different width in the future, or gets moved to a forehead (Galaxy-style). And since Apple isn't building the display themselves...they might be stuck waiting for Samsung or LG to come up with the right idea first. None that I've heard of...:/

Cancelled my first day preorder (2-3 weeks) because for whatever reason the Singapore Store had a bunch of day two stock, so just re-ordered on the spot. Only twist is that it was online orders only - they had a massive line outside that was purely for pickups, and employees were turning away people trying to just walk in and buy. So, classic early iPhone purchase scenario, but I already paid for it? Love the phone so far though. Face ID nearly flawless for me and the ease of use it offers for some apps is amazing. Only 100% obscure gesture is force-closing apps, but I understand why it’s (comparatively) obscure too.

Defenses are meant to burn resources hard, because each wave kills the placed defenses and you end up using guns a lot. Basic Tips: 1. Upgrade your armor to add ammo storage, should be an option on any blue. Assault Rifle in the primary slot is popular because you can go rifle + Bow. 2. Complete edge defense of FOB is too expensive. Can probably shrink it a bit and try to funnel enemies instead. At each of the cardinal directions I recommend having an "opening" in the fence and then use ramps so the enemies walk up and then fall off at the other side - this makes it easy because they take quite a while to stand up. 3. Use grenades to kill mortar enemies, it's either that or burn ammo. 4. Usually you want to go into a defense with some objects on your item equips, like metal fence or barbed wire. Use them to block a few paths to buy time while you guard the rest, or to patch up if you're doing FOB defense. 5. If you feel you're lacking the right gear, go container hunting...there are usually better weapons and base defense recipes to find.

If you know you have fences, the spear is great. But the bow's risk value is so low it was by far my #1 weapon across the entire game. You can 2-3 shot most enemies without being in danger, whereas without the fence, the spear is still mainly a risky melee weapon. Very early in the game the spear still wins out because you're extremely ammo limited, but once you have a pouch or two, your ammo count skyrockets and the ammo types kick in before you get something similar on melee, as well.

Society Game is basically Survivor, so if you like that, you’ll like SG. The second season adds some powerful Genius alumni, and some of the challenges become a bit Genius-esque, but ultimately the show is about mixing power with thinking, whereas Genius is all mental+social. Crime Scene is brilliant, but obviously has very little to do with Genius except the casting. Jims is right; it’s honestly shocking it hasn’t been adapted in the US. It would honestly be the perfect format to take a few high level celebrities and make a great “variety” show out of. Netflix could do it, even.

Beyond that you’re looking at a full screen replacement, because the digitizer and panel are all one piece. You can shop for independent repair but the screen cost is pretty locked down so not sure if any savings to be found there. If you want a new unit that’s a great down payment though, so just weigh if you want a fix or a new unit. Apple sells discount refurbs too.

Z9D is a LED display. Samsung's QLED is named because they use a quantum dot painting technology to improve backlight output. It sounds like the longterm plan for Samsung is to apply this to OLED (so, QOLED). In principle QLED should always be brighter than LED but of course it also depends on the screen array, backlight quality and array, etc. All modern LCD displays are LED - in the past, LCDs used a lamp backlight system (such as fluorescent) as opposed to LED lights. OLED skips the idea of a backlight entirely because the subpixels themselves are light-emitting.

T- HDMI "thing" is likely because Sony has always paired a specific chipset (Mediatek) with the X1 Extreme processor. The A8F uses a newer revision X1 that seems to solve this problem, but it's an issue also for the A1 (OLED) and X900e. I won't lie, it's a bizarre catch to have when LG and Samsung just go full bandwidth on everything, but my X900F was also dramatically cheaper than the LG OLEDs and Samsung Q series, so I can't really argue too hard. For the non full bandwidth inputs, I read somewhere that you can still run HDR, but only 4k30, so probably would be reduced color depth HDR? So it's pretty comprehensive for HDMI 1.4 devices (of which there are a lot) or 1080p devices like Nintendo Switch, PS3, Wii U, vast majority of laptops, etc. If you definitely have 3+ full bandwidth devices (UHD HDR Blu Ray, Xbox 1 X, Apple TV 4K) the mitigation plan would be: a. Soundbar with HDMI 2b port switching b. Receiver with HDMI 2b port switching (if you have a HT setup) c. Monoprice 50 dollar 2b switch. (Another step for your devices, but not awful) None of them are ideal solutions but there you go, if you're in that boat already. - I don't understand how you can call the X900F bulky but honestly, wall mounting is the best. Certainly if you want "non bulky" you should get the Q7 or Q9 with the breakout box, because everything else on the market is about the same size. - The Android build is slow, for sure. But it's not like running 3.0 or something. 99% of the time you use the TV to watch stuff, not browse the menus. And where it's actually really great is you get access to Google Play. Want VLC, Kodi, etc? Well you don't have to rely on the TV manufacturer for any of it. Don't get me wrong - I would have bought the C7 or C8 if they were in my price range, but...the X900F perks are pretty good.

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
So...the SEK3500 is a breakout box replacement kit for Samsung TVs, and it supposedly gives HDMI 2 + HDR? I can't find exact specs on it. Well, if you want HDR you need to make sure the cable going from your console to the box is HDMI 2.0 18Gbps ready. Beyond that this looks like it might be an RGB limited/full issue? Have you tried tweaking that? Yeah, sure, use HDMI 3 to your receiver as that will give you ARC and then connect your devices to the receiver, provided that receiver supports HDR and 18Gbps HDMI (HDMI 2.0a or b). The manual is really easy to find, but it's called "". Make sure both your receiver and the input port on the TV setting are both to "Enhanced HDMI" which is what you need for the full 18Gbps bandwidth. As mentioned the X900F saves HDR and non HDR per input separately. So you can tune SDR and HDR each. RTINGS suggests setting brightness based on your room lighting - more room lighting, more brightness.

Wall mounted Sony X900F or Samsung Q7FN. I really think you should see off angle in action - it’s not like some TN PC display where the colors flip. Anyway, any modern OLED or LCD will be ridicuously thin and minimal bezel. Get a pro wall mount install and your TV will be rock solid. Even decent Wall mounts are built for double the weight of a lot of TVs these days, so as long as it’s installed properly on the wall you’ll be fine. The Sammy also has a breakout box for all the inputs if you really want to go absolutely glued to the wall.

Haven't tried the passthrough yet. I know there is a soundbar menu setting that enables HDMI 2 full bandwidth (needed for HDR) and that I see separate listings on my TV for the soundbar menu and the HDMI slot, so in theory that part is covered. I imagine TV volume is still controllable using ARC, but something I need to try first... Check the RTINGS settings page. Brightness should be set according to your room lighting. In my bright living room I do use max brightness as it doesn't crush details, but even the 65 brightness setting looks good. Honestly though little to change out of the box except to make sure your console inputs are set to Game Mode picture setting, and if you have both PS4P and X1X, they should be using HDMI 2 and HDMI 3 since those are the high bandwidth ports.

(X900F) Accessing the Picture Adjustment menu takes a variable amount of time based on what you're doing with the TV. If I just switched to 4K HDR, I timed it to 3 seconds, but then its loaded and smooth. If I accessed the menu system recently, it loads almost instantly. Using the Action menu seems to speed things up too? If I just turned the TV on, and haven't accessed the TV menu, then yeah, I'm guessing it takes awhile to load settings. The Sony Sets backload everything so you can launch the TV and change inputs almost instantly, but then you need to wait on the other bits. Compared to the 2014 models it's perfectly smooth. But yeah maybe compared to LG it's bad? I don't need to change settings everyday, so don't notice it much

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
I bought the HT-X9000F a few weeks ago. It's the most impressive soundbar I've ever used, but whether you should buy it or not depends on your situation. I basically just use it with my PS4 Pro, OTA Digital HDTV and then Netflix/Kodi/Youtube/VLC through my TV. Positives - Sound capacity is really impressive - even at default it's just a lot better than a traditional, cheaper bar like the CT-290 or whatever. - Near perfect ARC/HDMI-CEC with Sony TVs. Boots up fast, syncs fast. - Not cheap but still cheaper than the Z9F - Boomy wireless sub - Obviously fits perfectly under the X900F, since that's what it was designed for Worth Noting - If you end up not hearing the difference between Atmos and Stereo, it can link to your TV through bluetooth. (Sony TVs can, dunno about LG). I haven't tried this at home but the IT show demo unit I played around with worked identical to ARC. Turning the TV on also turned on the soundbar, TV remote controlled the volume, etc. - HDMI 2 passthrough. So if you want something with 100% access to the soundbar and can't lose the HDMI input on your TV, this does the job. On my Sony TV the passthrough device shows up on the input list, which is cool. YMMV on other sets. Drawbacks - 2.1 unit only. If you want a center channel go for the Z9F. Personally if I really need enhanced voice clarity I just press the VOICE button on the remote, but ultimately more speakers is better. I would say the drawback on a center channel with soundbars is ultimately that they are all so squished together. I guess it adds some clarity but I used to own one of those 20+ channel Yamaha monsters and this sounds worlds better. - I believe you also need the Z9F to go with the optional surround back speaker pair (which are an additional cost, by the way, listed as $200 on Sony's website, dunno about Amazon) - I wish I could say ARC is bulletproof but I did lose it once. Ended up just unplugging the TV and soundbar from the wall for 30 seconds and then everything behaved after. Not sure if it was the bar or TV, but power pull did the trick. - Last thing on the "you should buy the Z9F list" is that the Z9F supports 3x HDMI, while this supports only one* (1 port is ARC in, the other is for the passthrough device, Z9F is 1 ARC + 3 out). Again, not a big deal for me because I don't want to attach 3 more HDMI devices and juggle two remotes to do all of the input switching. But in theory it's there.

Well the sub booms and the sound feels very rich to me by default. I mean it feels room filling to me and my volume is only at 40. Some surround is there because that’s just how virtual stereo works with your ears, but it’s rarely going to be as abrupt as a rear channel pouring directly into your ear. The V Surround is pretty good but probably depends on your room a bit.

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
Well, as a new X900F owner I can tell you the relative perks and problems of that. - Really superb HDR max brightness, SDR brightness is not best in class, but it's top 10. It's really good. - Local dimming works fine. - Per input settings, 4K latency is great - Google Play Support: Sure, there is youtube and Netflix there by default, but want VLC, Kodi, etc? Go for it. They work great, and there's an ethernet port if you don't want to WiFi it. - Patched to support Dolby Vision now, I think? - Really pairs well with the X9000F soundbar, if you like that. (Interestingly you can HDMI CEC pair with bluetooth speakers!) Compromises: - I'm told UI is rather slow, though looking at RTINGS basically it's LG and then everyone else. It's miles faster than my 2014 Sony was at launch, I guess. - 40ms latency on 1080p, though that's a bit more than 1 frame at 60hz, so nothing noticeable to me. - Only HDMI ports 2 and 3 are full bandwidth, and one of those is ARC. This is weird, though in practice not a big deal because I don't have 3+ 4:4:4 devices. Ultimately, if you can get a significant discount on the Q7FN or Q8FN, those are probably the direction you should go, because I don't think there is a thousand dollar price difference to be found in quality or features. But as Sony TVs go - and for me this was almost 50% cheaper than the OLED models - modern ARC support is nearly perfect, Google Play saved me from using external boxes and the PS4 Pro experience has been fantastic. Hell, there's a Netflix button right on the remote - usually, we ignore that stuff, but for my family it's very useful.

I just don't think there's a substantial advantage. Maybe you like the Sony X900F the most, but I can tell you right now I don't notice, say, $500 vs the X900E. Or the Q7FN. Now, if price is the same, I think your priority is really "what is the most comfortable for me to use" or "what makes my viewing experience easier?" What I love about the X900F in this regard: - Can switch inputs immediately when the screen turns on. Don't have to wait for the full bootup process. - X9000F soundbar using HDMI CEC + Arc smoothly turns on at the same time, no lag on waiting to change the volume. - Super easy to install Google Play apps. Had VLC and Kodi running in minutes, pretty much unplugged my Mac Mini on the spot because now my family can access those apps using only the TV's own remote control (which also controls soundbar volume thanks to ARC). - Big white Netflix button on the remote lets you skip all menu stuff and jump straight to that. - Supports bluetooth keyboard + mouse. I literally just turned them on, sync worked without diving deep into menus. Rarely need to use them but some apps, like Kodi, do have some weird menus where I'm not sure if a button on the TV remote will right click or just straight up exit. So it's there if you want it. - Per input picture settings and a clearly labelled game mode. Just had to set my PS4Pro input to Game Mode, max the brightness, and that's basically it. Follow RTINGS for more detail, of course, but I didn't have to relabel each input to get special settings. (That being said, you can write custom labels per input, which is useful to tell somebody what HDMI to switch to) - No ads. Apparently the Samsungs have those built into the UI? - Minor point, but none of the inputs are recessed. In some setups it's just a lot harder to plug things in when there is no clear route "out". I see the Q7 (not the Q8?) has the breakout box though, which to me is the best possible solution. Samsung basically has the only "wall portrait" TV because the breakout box allows the TV itself to be completely flat.

I have the 900F, which is fairly similar to those in 1080p60 lag (40.8) and even going from an 800b (with sub 20) it's unnoticeable to me. 40 is a bit more than 2 frames at 60fps, right? So that means basically 1 frame versus most faster competing solutions. But then I don't notice an obvious off-axis brightness issue either in my (admittedly bright) living room. That's how tropical locations work, I guess. As always you may have personal sensitivity that is greater, especially if you spend a lot of time with Street Fighter or rhythm game input timing. But in games like Horizon, Odyssey, Xenoblade, etc. it's been completely fine for me.

As I said, I don't have an Apple TV. On any iOS device the switch penalty is true. On TvOS, I stand corrected - . In which case you still need to make one account per region and still need to setup payment on each, but then as they're both active you can switch without penalty. The trick is to remember which one you have active though as the store will only reflect the active user. Anyway, it's good to know. The iTunes world is mostly useless in this part of the world but having multiregion access is a compelling case to buy Apple TV again.

I don't have an Apple TV, but this is really an iTunes question, and the answer is that you can't switch regions. Instead, you have to make a separate account per region, login to that account, and then (for paid content) either use itunes cash cards or a CC from that region to pay for it. (Sometimes PayPal can be used). There is no way to merge accounts, and converting an account from one region to another is a problematic, one way move where it permanently erases ownership of anything that can't carry over. Switching iTunes accounts does not affect your iCloud login or App Store login - it strictly affects iTunes - but there is another limitation: when you login to a new account it locks you out of switching back and downloading owned content for a certain number of days (Varies per region). In the case of Canada/US my experience was that if I switched to my US account I could switch back but couldn't redownload anything I owned for 30 days.

Finally got the X900F (or XF900 depending on your region) and soundbar (the similarly named HT-X9000F) last night. Just barely did setup, so not much in the way of picture impressions, but: - Compared to older thin TVs like the W800B/C which mount bottom-justified, the mounting holes for this are basically dead center. It was easy to mount though - just remove the 4 screws and go from there - you won't need a spacer because the back is flat. - FWIW the soundbar still mounts the same on the wall as the CT-280, but maybe a half cm wider. Luckily the hanging holes are big enough that it just fit, anyway. I may end up getting a contractor to set new holes though, as the lower hanging TV means there isn't much of a gap between the two. - Bezel on the X900F is clearly thinner than the B series, although not that it matters much, a tiny bit less trim at 55" is negligible. It's small. - Awesome to finally have a local digital tuner. Probably the first time in 10 years where the channel buttons actually have become useful again. - The soundbar is supposed to be easy to setup, but struggled for an hour until I finally did a factory reset of the soundbar. Now Bravia Sync is fine and everything is happy. - There is an enhanced HDMI mode if you want to do a full passthrough on the soundbar, which is a good idea because only HDMI 2 and 3 (ARC) support 18Gbps bandwidth. - Interestingly, Sony actually promotes the use of Bluetooth as an alternative to ARC. Both the TV and soundbar must support A2DP (which these do) so if you want to free up HDMI3 this is a legit way to do it. The quality level seems pretty high but I don't have the tools to compare it to HDMI ARC, which is also making use of compressed datastreams to support Dolby Atmos/DTS-X. Considering a soundbar is hardly a 7.1 Klipsch rig they may end up nearly identical. Either way, you get full Bravia Sync which means TV remote control and synchronous on/off. - The soundbar is actively cooled. I can't hear it without my ear pressed to the back, but I guess that's why the manual says not to shove it in a cabinet. I'll try "VERTICAL S." and of course a bunch of 4K content this week.

Agreed, but I would say that HDMI 2.1 is not going to arrive next year in perfect condition. Expect incomplete implementation (this feature works, but that feature has bugs, or the inevitable "Samsung changed something in the spec for reasons", only some ports on some TVs supporting it, and straight up "this would be great but the panel itself can't use it". And with the exception of eARC, you need new cables. Actually you need new cables for that too unless you have HDMI cables with an ethernet channel already. Long story short, I think we have probably 3 product cycles before the problems sort themselves out. By then we should be talking about things like PlayStation 5. RTINGS writes a pretty on DV that basically says it's useless right now, unless you have the best of sets, and HDR10 will support some of the same things later anyway. I think it's not a given that Sony will support DV, but also that I don't think UHD is a given either. We'll see, but generally speaking developers just don't have the gear to do DV work. As I mentioned after replying to you, I just bought the XF900 (X9000F here) so I feel fairly comfortable upgrading now and letting the TV market sort itself out with new technology in the meantime. The viewing angle thing is not that big of a deal to me (sure, you lose brightness on an angle, but it's not like TN where the colors reverse) and it's a really great looking LED set. I think if you need one right now the XE900 is probably a great deal too, in that it should seem like a big upgrade for you. I guess it just depends how badly you need one now versus next year.

Go 55" if you can. The screen size jump to 55 is the single biggest improvement you will see since all content is not 4K. It does sound like OLED solves all of your problems, so if you're okay with the panel lottery and some image retention now and then, it's not a bad idea. But if you want to go full trouble free, then LED is the only game in town. LG makes IPS displays where angle is not a problem, but I can see they're not your favorite company right now. I don't think DV is a dealbreaker, but if you're big on UHD Blu Ray, maybe down the line? But I don't think of these sales as now or never. After World Cup will be Back to School, or Black Friday, or Pre Christmas, or Boxing Day - every country has a variety of them throughout the year. I can't speak to the price because I can't really comprehend the currency. For example here in SG, TVs are just...arbitrarily a lot more expensive. The XF900 is $1000 cheaper in Canada and yet we have roughly equal currencies, which means there are retail controls that really change the market. Certainly something like the QF7 would be interesting, or the LG SK9000 in a big bright room, or the B7 if you are okay with trying OLED, but it REALLY depends on your particular market. Price parity on the B7 to the XF is pretty impressive. I would have bought that on the spot here, but my family living room is far smaller than yours. Honestly speaking, if you're set on something now, the B7 is going to give you the best value by far. If you buy the XE90 and then go back to the store, the B7 is still going to seem like an improvement, and that's saying something. But I will say if you're not at 55" yet any set at that level will seem like an improvement.

Generally LG uses IPS, so the last few years their LCDs have been go-to for big rooms where viewing angle is key. Brightness suffers as a result, though, so they are typically behind Sony and Samsung for general use.

They think the NU8000 and “it’s so bad it shouldn’t be there” dimming array competes with the 900F, at least over here. I guess I’m set on the latter now. Too bad TCL doesn’t exist here.

There was some kind of 3 year warranty, but it's been on the floor for probably at least six months? The built in front firing speaker was honestly pretty compelling, but I don't think I would throw more than 2 grand at a used product. I will say though, I was pretty impressed how the salesman immediately pointed me at the C8 and loaded RTINGS right on it, unprompted :lol Yeah, in Singapore generally you can't find TCL/Vizio, and the dollar to dollar is about 1.5x more but some things like TVs are just more, period. Best "advertised" price on the 9000F here is $3000, but at a local shop I can probably negotiate down some. C7 and C8 are both $4200+. At that amount it's almost bridging the gap to the Sony OLEDs... I really am enamored with how good OLED looks on the C7 and A1, but I don't have a dark room for it and there's definitely the kids/netflix factor. I did the whole Plasma thing back in the PS3 era (Pana TH42) but I think sitting out the image persistence might be a good idea for next time somebody leaves the TV on or paused for a few hours. And I'm wall-limited to 55" so that rules out some of the crazy stuff anyway.

I’ll own all platforms regardless and don’t usually play multiplayer games anyways so it’s not a big deal for me. However, they should be cautious not to fall back into arrogant Sony mode. What happened with Xbox One and Microsoft could happen to PlayStation again.

Thread: Is Driveclub worth getting in 2018?
See, now this is an interesting post to discuss. I think, at the core, they are indeed both racing games but the structure has a dramatic impact on the experience. Track based racing is designed around specific events that you select from a menu - you spend time playing and mastering these events. Typically, each challenge feels fairly well crafted (when done right) and offers a specific challenge. This is what I love about games like Ridge Racer, PGR, Sega Rally and the like. It's very focused and designed around mastery. Open world racing games, however, drop you into a large map with things scattered about. The game's are typically designed around exploration and just driving. You spent a LOT of time driving between areas. If you want to focus on track racing, there is an additional layer to deal with. When done right, such as in Forza Horizon 3, it can be engaging as the world itself is interesting enough to support it. I think there is a large difference between the two, however, as you really cannot get the same experience in each. The open world aspects make it very difficult for those just looking to run and master races and tracks. At the same time, those that want to explore a world naturally won't find that in a track racer.

I disagree. Horizon is awesome but very VERY different. It's an open world style game. Driveclub is focused on crafted tracks instead. For me, DC is still one of the best racing games of the last decade just in terms of the overall experience. The sense of speed, excellent handling, Hybrid soundtrack and beautiful visuals all work together to create something very memorable. If only there were a 60fps version of the game out there. Horizon is great too but the open world aspect can be tedious sometimes when I'm just looking to master a track and race.

Thread: The initial reaction to Silent Hill 2
I dunno, I was around on GAF at the time and I seem to recall a positive reaction overall. Silent Hill 2 and ICO were released on the same day and I bought them both at the time. Spent the afternoon playing ICO then the evening playing Silent Hill 2. It absolutely blew me away. That first run through Silent Hill 2 is one of the most memorable gaming moments in my personal history. I'm not sure anything could ever recapture that feeling - of that specific time and place. It was perfect. Silent Hill 2 also released at a perfect time for me personally - I had only just discovered horror games in the past year. I mean, Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark I had played but I never found them terrifying. It started for me with the original Thief in late 98 - some of the stages I found terrifying. Thief 2 as well. Then System Shock 2 which left a huge impression on me. ...after that, a friend recommended Silent Hill 1 and I loved it. Silent Hill 2 became one of my most anticipated titles as a result and, well, the rest is history. I also loved part 3 in its own way. It was different but still a great Silent Hill experience.

EAD did produce amazing games for N64 but...it's a small library. Very small. I think Rare was extremely important to the system's success and lasting legacy. EAD is on top but I feel that Rare is just behind. Honestly, that's just not true. It's not even about "console wars", rather, the quantity of great games that stand the test of time. History has proven Saturn to be a great machine. I will agree that the North American and European lineups are not spectacular (they're good, but not great) but if you look at the library as a whole including Japanese games...the Saturn is packed with classics. If you think Saturn is a piece of junk, you're simply missing out. All three systems from that era have plenty of great games worth exploring but I think a lot of folks have missed out on Saturn's best.

Thread: Digital Foundry: Wolfenstein II on Switch
I agree 100%. The Vita never came close to matching the PSP in terms of pushing beyond expectations. There were some impressive games on there but it wasn't as cutting edge a machine as PSP in its day. Not even close. Again - you need to think about the origins of the game on consoles of that era. Borderlands 2 is often a sub-30fps game on PS3 and 360. Wolfenstein 2 is a mostly 60fps game on PS4 and Xbox One. Borderlands 2 on Vita is how I'd imagine more ambitious games of the PS4/XO generation would wind up on Switch. A PS4 game that's barely hitting 30fps isn't going to translate well as it suggests a lot of overhead to deal with. Wolf 2 is just a really well optimized game.

Yeah, this argument that "it's cel-shaded thus not imrpessive" is really silly. Should we say that same of Breath of the Wild? Of course not. Borderlands 2 was definitely a somewhat demanding game for its time with some of the largest maps I can recall in a UE3 shooter. There are some huge areas there and lots of action on-screen. Just for my own curiosity, how old are you? I'm just wondering if you were around for the PSP launch or not. I feel like that would absolutely distort one's view of it. I'm 36, for the record.

Thread: Digital Foundry: Wolfenstein II on Switch
This is pretty silly. The PSP (especially) and the Vita absolutely fell into the same category as Switch at the time of release. Switch is a more versatile system due to its focus on docked/handheld (something you can do with PSP...but not at launch). Were you around during the launch of PSP? It was absolutely amazing at the time and set a new standard in what you can expect from a handheld system. Many of its early games still look remarkable to this day. That said, things were different during this time. The PSP received PS2 class ports and the types of games we're seeing on Switch today (like Wolf 2 and Skyrim) weren't really ON consoles back then. Thus, the PSP library is more focused on racing, arcade and other such titles...but all of them were a huge step up from any other portable experience of that era. These ports aren't anywhere near the best looking games on PSP either but I think they DO hold up nicely (though, for a couple of them, overclocking is admittedly required for optimal performance). I'd argue that something like Tekken 5 on PSP is as impressive for the time period - it came out in exactly the same time frame as Wolf 2. You gotta remember this is the PS2 era - seeing a high-quality 60fps 3D fighting game on a portable system was as insane back then as seeing Wolf on Switch is today. Ridge Racers in 2004, which is an original game, is still more impressive to me than just about any other portable game in history keeping mind its release date and what it was doing.

I consider Dreamcast part of that generation and having Dreamcast ports on a mobile device at that point was really impressive. It's not something we had ever seen before. That's why PSP was so impressive. There hadn't been anything like that before. Not even remotely close. Switch feels like a continuation of what Sony started in 2004 but done even better. Were you around during that era? Again, I'm not sure you're remembering just how insane it was to see 2D fighters like that on a portable. That's my point. Too many people here lack the proper perspective to understand this. It looks silly by today's standards but that's not what we're talking about. It needs to be considered in its original release window. I'm not sure why this needs to be a battle - it seems that some folks balk at the idea of PSP impressing to the same degree as Switch but it absolutely did and then some. They're both very comparable system in their time but the Switch is simply better executed. There were already console style games in the mobile space when Switch launched, however (even if they weren't nearly as impressive) while no such thing existed when PSP launched. This is key.

Thread: Digital Foundry: Wolfenstein II on Switch
Eh, I think the issue is that PSP often just received brand new games based on franchises that originated on PS2 (or earlier) and that was often the most impressive. Midnight Club 3 is pretty nuts, though, as it's a massive open world driving game on PSP with motion blur and reflections intact. Outrun 2, while not perfect, is kind of amazing in that it originated on Xbox arcade hardware - they even found a way to simulate the reflections and specular highlights. The two GTA games are interesting as well - they are new games but also basically ports in that they feature the same city maps and visual design as the PS2 games. It's simply a collection of new missions and a new story. Having an open world game less than a year after PSP launched was impressive as well. The AAA console space was *VERY* different during that era, however. There were console shooters but, aside from a few like Halo, most weren't that impressive especially compared to what we were starting to see on the PC. It's not really a comparable time period. The PSP launched in 2004 - that was the year that Far Cry, Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 all shipped. The Xbox ports of those games, which was the most powerful console at the time, are similar in quality to the Switch port of Wolfenstein 2. That's how far ahead the PC was during that period. There simply wasn't a chance in hell that you could pull that off on a mobile device like PSP. It wasn't time yet. That kind of undermines your arguments as it suggests that you're judging things by eye rather than actually trying to understand what's going on below the surface. Borderlands 2 is a large scale Unreal Engine 3 based first person shooter. On consoles of its day, Borderlands 2 struggles to maintain 30fps (Xbox 360 and PS3). That's what they were porting to Vita. In comparison, Wolf 2 is a 60fps game on consoles of its day...just something to think about. That port of Borderlands 2 is really bad, though. I'd say something like NFS Hot Pursuit is more inline - it took a huge hit to visuals but it offers the same gameplay as the console titles. It's one the most technically ambitious racing games of the last generation - to the point where Criterion had to push beyond the regular 360 libraries. It's using low-level tricks in a way that was rare on 360.

Guess what? DF today is not the same as it was in 2013. We have completely changed our approach to everything and my analysis of this game is absolutely inline with everything I've been doing for the last year or two. You don't get to decide what DF is. If you're going to talk shit, you better have some examples (of content I've produced) so we can at least understand what you're talking about. You cannot talk about ports of a game while ignoring the hardware in use. These videos are designed to provide opinions based on our findings while trying to highlight where a game succeeds and fails technically. This is the worst version of Wolfenstein 2 but it also happens to be impressive - which is to say, I do not believe anyone could do a much better job. The issues with this port are due to limitations of the hardware. Any improvements from this point are likely to be very minor. They've pushed this platform really hard and it's super fascinating. DF videos are not competitions and they are not buying advice. If you want to use them in that way, that's your prerogative, but that's not the intention behind them. If this were a competition, the PC would be crushing everything but that's just not interesting to me. I want to see great results achieved on limited, fixed hardware. I have no idea what it is that you're looking for other than to bash the Switch or any other platform just because. It sounds like you want us to come out and say "the Switch version sucks!!" which is just an ignorant thing to do when you understand what the development team has to work with. Again, you cannot separate the platform from the work. Doing so is foolish, ignorant and disrespectful.

Thread: Digital Foundry: Wolfenstein II on Switch
A little bit but...Wolf 2 is a much more demanding game than Doom. Doom has a lot of slowdown on Switch. Pre-release builds of Wolf 2 were dreadful on Switch - like, the simplest levels were in the mid-20s. Things were shaping up to be a disaster in some ways but the final game? It's nearly a locked 30fps about 90% of the time. It's just a few specific scenes which struggle but it's otherwise very consistent and smoother than Doom overall despite being a more technically demanding game. It's a "miracle" in that same way that a three-point shot at the buzzer is - obviously it's hyperbolic wording but it's designed to highlight how much of a surprise the final package is when considering the shape it WAS in. Pre-release software is usually shakier, obviously, but this was worse than usual - they came a long way in a short time. I think that's pretty impressive.

Man, that would have been interesting. It would either have needed to be entirely new games or it would be one of the worst ports you could imagine. UE3 is bad on Vita and we saw how it turned out on the more powerful Wii U. 3DS - I mean, they’d really have no choice but to make a different game. That alternate game could have been OK, I guess.

Thread: Cyberpunk 2077 E3 2018
That’s my question. Most games are either first or third. Why is this suddenly a problem? It’s a first person game. Witcher 3 was a third person game. They’re different things. Dishonored, Doom, Prey, Deus Ex etc - all first person. It’s how they were designed and it’s great. I’d rather they concentrate on great first person camera work and animation than sacrifice quality to support both.

Thread: Cyberpunk 2077 E3 2018
I know some people want this but I just don't think it would work. The game is heavy on first-person animation a la Crysis, Dishonored 2 and Mirror's Edge. Those games wouldn't feel right in third person. The combat wouldn't work, I feel. It's just not a third person game and it would require an insane amount of work to get right that would be totally different from FP mode. It's like asking for a first person mode in an Uncharted game - it just goes against how the game is designed to be played. I really hope they do not compromise their vision by shoehorning in a third person mode.

Thread: Analogue Super NT - orders and shipping(Now you're playing with SUPER POWER)
One thing I've found interesting is that the 4K OLEDs upscale 720p and 1080p with a touch of softening on hard pixel edges that's primarily visible when viewing at close proximity. This has the added effect of slightly softening edges when using scanlines in a way that almost replicates the subtle fall-off you see with a real CRT. I never liked using scanlines on the Kuro as it produced a somewhat dirty image and never looked great but on this thing, scanlines look really elegant and clean. It's also a much brighter display so scanlines do not have the same dimming effect. Compared to my PVM, the normal scanlines look surprisingly close. Here's a still shot from the review I'm positing today. I filmed that off of my 20L4 PVM and was surprised at how close it gets. The colors on the off-screen side are slightly off in the filmed footage (not yet good enough with the camera to nail the colors when filming a CRT). The Super Nt shot is from the 720p mode with normal scanlines.

The OLED scales 720p much like 1080p and, with pixel art, it really looks very similar. 1080p is slightly sharper with scanlines disabled but I feel, if you're using scanlines, you'll want to use 720p. If you're not, go with 1080p instead.

Thread: Analogue Super NT - orders and shipping(Now you're playing with SUPER POWER)
Regarding Rendering Ranger R2... I have a repro of the game (obviously not a real cart - way too expensive) and it works inconsistently with the Super Nt. When firing it up initially, it always crashes after the title screen, but if you re-run the "run cart" option multiple times, eventually it will get into the game and play fine. Seems like some sort of DMA bug perhaps? It's very weird. It's also a strange one to comment on since I'm using a repro rather than a real cart. I'd assume the real cart has the same issue but I cannot say for sure. The thing is - Higan's default timing sucks for actually playing. Both Higan and the Super Nt have their own methods for playing games at the correct refresh rate but neither is optimal for playing games, I've found. I'll show them, of course. You can disable v-sync on Super Nt just as on Higan to get the correct speed. My primary goal here is to focus more on actual playability - getting the best experience on a standard flat panel display. The only way I've found to do that with Higan is D3D with exclusive fullscreen. You get occasional audio pops but completely fluid scrolling with no skips - which is the objective here. Who the heck would ever want to play a SNES game with screen tearing or skipped frames? So those are basically two issues and it's good that both solutions offer perfectly accurate speed options for matching the original refresh rate - and it's better than they each offer a way to get around it and enjoy games with smooth performance.

Yeah, I believe Dying Light is worse on Pro with boost mode enabled and on (possibly) Xbox One X since it causes this issue to appear more regularly. It’s likely a double buffered game which means it’ll jump to 60fps when it can hit that target.

I'm not familiar with these guys but...their frame-rate graph is completely incorrect. Not only is it showing tearing where there is none but the readout makes no sense. If you flip through frame by frame you can see that, when it's reading in the mid-40s, the game is still delivering one unique frame followed by a dupe frame with perfect consistency so that readout is not correct. It's 30fps.

It really doesn't make sense to slam the Switch, though. You have to judge it within its own constraints. Did the developers do a good job for the hardware? It'll never match the other consoles. It's not a pass. I'm really not sure what you guys want. "The Switch version is inferior again. It's a waste of money. Why would anyone bother?" It's less powerful hardware, guys. Significantly less powerful. That's why it's so interesting - I love seeing developers squeeze what they can out of lower spec hardware. Compromises are always going to happen - but which compromises are made will vary. Some people said I was way too harsh on the Switch version in this video...others say the opposite.

Thanks for the heads up. Has anyone noticed this with other games? I'll try to assemble a list and see if it impacts other games or just Daytona. Any extra info will help me build a case. I'm fairly sure that this was a mistake, though.

That’s the hardware blur - which always looks better disabled. There’s another AA pass which can be disabled which does tend to result in super pixelated and dithered 3D games. You can disable the first with a hardware mod and the second with an Everdrive. Deblur is such a great feature.

Thread: Mental Health ERA |OT| You are not Alone
Man, it's been a bad week for me. I've long struggled with health anxiety issues (I could probably list 10 random thing which triggered this in the past year alone) and it's hitting again. I've been down and burned out in general the last few weeks (barely wanting to do anything, losing interest in work, getting super angry or sad at the drop of a hat) and now I'm feeling "slightly off" - like I'm looking through a screen door. It's like being slightly dizzy but not really. It's once again sent me into a spiral of feeling horrible and thinking about death. Has anyone ever managed to overcome this obsession with health anxiety, death and the like? I mean, an example - I had a small sore on my nose, which turned out to be a clogged pore, but for a few days I was convinced it was some kind of horrible infection that would spread and kill me. Not logical at all. My pain threshold is super low as well which makes things ever harder. I've dealt with this kind of stuff off and on for 15 years and have yet to fully beat it. Now I'm flying out tomorrow for a show which feels like bad timing but maybe it'll actually help (as getting busy seems to improve things). Really sucks, I gotta say.

Thread: Time to buy a new Monitor - UHD or Ultra wide?
I've been using a 38" 3840x1600 monitor. It's an interesting compromise as I was looking for a larger size and it offers the pixel width of 4K while also supporting 75hz with OLMB. Surprisingly, this mode looks amazing for games. It produces an image similar to a CRT monitor with visible flicker - it's not noticeable or uncomfortable while gaming and it greatly eliminates blur. The issue I ran into is that they just don't make large monitors with super high refresh rates and resolutions - at least when I was shopping around. 34" is just a little too small for me.

I'm a computer programmer by trade - studied this in college and spent more than 10 years working in IT for various automotive companies doing all sorts of things. It was interesting but I didn't really love it. Now, after leaving the States in 2013, I work entirely for Digital Foundry and I love it! It's very satisfying work that is also way more demanding than I would have ever guessed. Most projects involve scripting, recording, editing in Premiere and AE, filming, playing + capturing, reading lots of white papers and documents etc. It's really quite rewarding to create video content entirely by yourself while trying to entertain and inform people. The only downside is the significant number of hours required by many projects - especially those that I care about the most. Lots of 12+ hour days and often weekends to keep up with the demands of the internet.

I try to use them at work whenever my workplace will accommodate.

Thread: Magic: the Gathering |OT| Core Set 2019 - In the midnight hour, she yelled "Core! Core! Core!"
Tying Brawl to Standard is what makes it appealing to me though. I have no interest in playing Standard due to the monetary investment for so many cards that I will never use again once they rotate out of Standard. Brawl allows me to crack a box or two for home drafts and then throw together a whole bunch of decks, which -- while not perfectly optimized -- are still fun to play. Brawl feels a lot closer to the kitchen table Magic I used to play before I got old enough to buy my own cards, and I love it for that. I'm not sure how excited I will still be come rotation in the Fall, but I imagine I'll just buy a few boxes of Return to Return to Ravnica and make do with that.

I just bought Lanota. The game is pretty good if you're into music games. Quite a few of the tracks are catchy too. I don't like how much movement there is though. It's actually enough to give me motion sickness. I also think it detracts from the overall gameplay experience. Still enjoying it but I usually get annoyed once they start using the rotating and movement stuff in stages. Wish that wasn't a thing. edit: played about 6 songs. I'm absolutely wrecked.

Thread: MoviePass Discussion
I know a bunch of people who are super mad about the recent change but I really don't see it being that big of a deal. I know the biggest argument is the freedom to do whatever you want with it, which is not at all the way I ever looked at it. I always looked at it as: movie prices are usually around $15 in Chicago. As long as I see a single movie in a month it's already cheaper. If I see two then that's pretty damn awesome! Since I got my MoviePass in December I've been to the theater 26 times. Which I'd consider as a lot. I generally only see 1 or 2 movies a year prior to this. The only movie I ever had a repeat viewing of was Black Panther (saw it 3 times). In February, April, and March I saw no more than 4 movies in each month. Even if MoviePass were to disappear tomorrow I definitely got my money's worth. The only thing that I think doesn't make sense is that new subscribers can only see up to 4 movies AND they can't do repeat viewings. With such a limitation already in place you should have the ability to see the same movie 4 times if they wanted. For unlimited users I can see why they made the limitation. I'd personally love if I could see a movie twice. Despite that, I'm still getting some value based on my most recent viewing trends. I definitely do not want to see the service disappear. But there is something funny about how people were like "this is so awesome, it's way too good to be true, MoviePass is gonna die!" but now they are trying to do something possibly more reasonable and those same people are like "MoviePass should die!" Even if you do pay out of pocket for a repeat viewing of a movie, at least where I live, it's still cheaper to have MoviePass.

I am stupidly addicted to this game. I seriously have put more time into it than I should and I haven't spent any real money yet, thankfully. Currently have Tifa, Squall, WoL, Cloud at 50. Almost got Terra, Vaan, and Zidane at 50 now too. Everyone else is between high 40s and near 30s. I've actually been having a lot of fun with Yuffie and got her currently to 45 STR and 39 LVL. Ended up getting Yuna's staff in the ticket pull last night. She's so ridiculously OP it's hilarious. I love it. edit: Rebuffing Malboro in the co-op battle as Yuffie is way more fun than it should be

The only way JW2 gets salvaged is if JW3 has like a 15 year time jump, and dinosaurs roam wild, attacking humans at random, and it follows a small group of people throughout, as they get picked off one by one. Almost a 28 days later meets jurassic park. And it ends on a downer. No one saves the day. Maybe one or two of our protagionists makes it out alive - but the message is - this is their world now, this is what we must do to survive. Dinosaurs are now the apex predator. Not us.

Just finished. Wonder why they felt it was worth releasing as a half-season, let alone dividing it with that ending. Kinda a weird half-season.. The S4 recut being fresh in my mind has made me kinda feel 'meh' about the storyline this season, it is so meandering, I was hoping for more quick time jumps to get out of the corner they wrote themselves into. The perceivable age difference of michael cera in episode 1, from the 'punching' scene S4 footage to the new S5 continuation was jarring as hell. Kyle Mooney is the worst addition to the cast, not sure why they even bothered with him. Buster was criminally wasted in these episodes, but was the best part of any one he was in. There were some good moments, and I hope the second half turns it around to make this first half pay off.

Thread: The Orville |OT| Open this pickle jar for me.
I felt it strange that she killed the captor as well.. All of his established motives throughout the episode seemed pretty clear up until the end: 1) He rescued her from the crash site while she was unconscious, using the rationale that she would have died/been eaten if someone else had found her first...2) He brought her food and told her to eat, since food is a scarcity around here, he gave her a fairly hefty portion and could have easily made her starve. 3) She prompted him with requests to let her out to find her kids, saying that they could be in danger. He already knows this because4) When she hurt herself, he came running asking "What happened?" -- She then requested her medication, she played on the fact that he was alone, touching his hand and basically implying that she might get with him if he retrieves her medicine.5) When he returns with the medicine, he is unarmed (well, he had a weapon, but it was not drawn), has zero intent or motive to harm her, yet the doctor stabs him. SHE takes the first strike. If you were the 'captor', and you found an unconscious alien life form that also had a weapon on her, and brought her back to safety, would you not lock her in a safe space until you determined her motives and her intent? Yes, it's perceived by the viewer as her being imprisoned, but how many of you would willingly trust a stranger, especially in a war-torn post-apocalyptic scenario blindly? From his perspective, and rightfully so, he went out of his way to rescue a crash victim, keep her safe, fed, and healthy (agreeing to go out and risk getting her medication), only to be murdered by the person he rescued. The doctor straight up killed a dude.. I get she did it out of fear, but as a viewer, she was not morally in the right.

I get this point of view, but if you put yourself in that scenario, and everything you've known about your home world, and the situation that has unfolded to get you to the point where you have a fallout bunker and are fighting to stay alive/healthy, if you came across another healthy individual, you'd more than likely want to keep them around. Think about it this way: Everyone else out in the wild is sick, has boils, and are eating each other. He comes across another healthy individual who is not suffering from any of these effects. She is either A) Like him and has her own fallout shelter or B) Not from around here. So, he probably figured she fell into the latter category, informs her of what is going on and why he's keeping her in 'a safe place', and then basically implies that it's pointless to even try to go out and get them because nothing survives long out there. Everything in his being knows that if they were in the woods overnight, they're likely dead. If not, then infected with a virus that to him, there is no cure. I get the notion that him keeping her there was wrong and crossed him into being an 'enemy' in her eyes, but to him, he's afraid that she isn't prepared for what's out there, and is simply trying to protect her from falling into the same fate as everyone else out there. There aren't likely many 'healthy' people left in the world. There's survival instinct, and then there's rational thought. If the world was a viral nightmare, you'd likely be relying more on your survival instincts at that point (especially depending how long it's been since you've seen a 'normal' person) rather than being like "yeah, I should let her go.. she's the only other healthy female i've seen in years, but yeah sure, she's got kids that are probably dead.. have fun, good luck, don't get space herpes." I mean, look at LOST, same thing when they found Desmond in the hatch... there's isolation and then there's the thought of being the only survivor.. It fucks with your head.. I don't expect anyone would think clearly after something like that. Objective arguments are fine and well, and having never been in that position myself, I don't know what I'd do... But as an observer, the 'captor' was just trying to save her from the world he lived in... whether she knew that, had the time for it, or not.

Thread: AVENGERS 4 | Speculation Thread (open Infinity War spoilers!)
My theory (Spoilers for IW, obv.): Avengers 4 will be a Tony Stark Revenge plot. After seeing Peter die in front of him, he returns home to find that Pepper has also vanished. This sets him on a course to find Thanos and, more specifically, the time stone so that he can reverse what happened (As evidented by Strange saying that "this is the only way" prior to his death). In Infinity War, when Thanos wanted the Soul stone, he had to sacrifice Gamora. My over-arching theory is that, by the end of Avengers 4, Tony will have to make a similar sacrifice to use the time stone: He will need to reverse time so far back, to the very beginning (Iron Man 1), so that everyone lives. But in doing so, the life he knows, the people he's met, and the bonds hes formed, never come to pass. The price he pays is losing his love (Pepper), his friends (Avengers), and his fortune (his business). This allows for Marvel to reboot / tell alternative storylines within the MCU and not be bogged down by existing contracts or actors who are done with their roles. The big hole in my theory is that it potentially erases the entire MCU in one fell swoop, and makes all the previous films essentially non-existent. So while not iron clad, I think some form of Tony's sacrifice will require him to not be a part of what he has built.

Thread: Tesla Model 3 |OT| Shoot into Space if Old
Picked mine up from the Toronto International Centre on Thursday, this thing is absolutely gorgeous, and fun as fuck to drive. I had zero panel issues, no cosmetic imperfections, it was literally a perfectly built car. The only thing they did was forgot to plug in my rear-trunk interior LED light, which was totally fine because I replaced all those LEDs with the brighter ones from RPM Tesla. For anyone curious: this thing feels familiar, it handles very similar to my Mazda 3; albeit with much more pep. It was a fairly easy adjustment to get used to how the Tesla drives. The centre screen takes about a day to acclimatize yourself to. I bought a bunch of stuff for the car before I took delivery: 5 LED upgrade kit from RPM Tesla (2 for the trunk, 1 for the glovebox, one for each front-door puddle light) 2 LED upgrade footwell kit from RPM Tesla (Makes the footwell lights blue, and its beautiful, picture below). "Matrix" 3M Centre console wrap from RPM Tesla (picture below). Knock-off "Premium Pedals" for Model S/X. They fit on the 3, too. Weathertech trunk and trunk mat from tesla's online shop. And now, for some pictures! Overall, extremely happy - the delivery experience was a bit rushed and unorganized, but they're doing 223 cars a day in an 8-hour window, so I'll forgive them for that one. AS FOR THE TOUCH SCREEN. Opening the glovebox is as simple as pressing the car icon, then 'open glovebox' - it's stupidly simple and takes no time at all. Likewise, climate control is pressing the fan button (or up and down arrow for temperature), it's arguably faster than turning the three knobs that existed in my old mazda 3. It took me about one day to get used to the centre screen, and now it's so absolutely incredibly simple to navigate and get to what I need when I need it. The only menus you'd ever need to 'wade through' are the ones you'd do while parked. All drive-critical functionality is at worst one click deep. For everyone bitching and complaining about how a touch screen is going to ruin all the 'easy access' of the physical buttons you're used to, I have nine simple words for you: Shut the hell up until you've actually tried it.

Thread: Tesla Model 3 |OT| Shoot into Space if Old
All model 3s. At the international centre. They are trying to get as many delivered as possible before elections. Think critically for a second about what you actually fiddle with WHILE DRIVING. 1) radio / music - it has a physical button on the wheel to change songs/stations and modify volume. Changing inputs is one button away - same as a traditional vehicle. Or it can be done via voice commands. Which is tied to a physical button. You can even search for specific artists via that. 2) wipers - it has auto wipers or variable speed persistent on the touch screen (it’s on the top menu basically, immediate access), but guess what? There’s physical buttons on the left wheel stalk, too! 3) high beams - auto lights as well, but also a physical presence on the left stalk too! 4) turn signals - physically on left stalk 5) hazard lights - physical button above you by the dome lights. 6) navigation - all done via touch screen .. or, holy fuck, voice control! Which is activated by pressing in a physical button on the steering wheel! 7) switching gears - physically on the right stalk. Same with autopilot and cruise control activation. Deactivating is as simple as tapping the brake. — Am I missing anything that you need to do - while driving - ?? Everything that is mission critical has a physical presence in the car. None of that relies on the touch screen. The only items you use the touch screen for is climate control, and it’s one press of a button on screen. It takes the same level of attention to do that it does in a regular old car with knobs and dials. As for the “lack of staying power” - Pontiac doesn’t exist any more, but you still see their cars on the road. The charging infrastructure that exists outside of tesla, can all be used by Tesla’s via the various adapters. If you’re worried about aftermarket parts, I’m sure they exist or will exist should the company ever go under. But I think it’s pretty clear they’re on their way to sustained profitability. Don’t let unfounded fears keep you from embracing the future. The iPhone analogy is absolutely perfect - it’s the same feeling getting my first tesla that I had getting that first Gen iPhone. This is the future. A lot of people cried wolf at the longevity and reality of the iPhone only to be proven wrong about how much of an impact it had on future products from not only Apple, but other manufacturers too. I think the model 3 is the catalyst for a similar change in the auto industry. Literally everyone I’ve shown my car to thus far was initially sceptical of the Centre screen. And once I finished showing the car and taking them for a ride, they were all amazed at how simple it really was, and how clean and wonderful the interior was. You have to experience it to fully understand how much the simplicity in the cabin makes a difference.

Via voice control if you wanted to, yes. Otherwise it’s touch screen. But it’s very easy to do. There’s an up and down arrow you can hit to quickly change the temperature, or you can tap into a fan icon to get more ingrained.

Thread: Tesla Model 3 |OT| Shoot into Space if Old
Keep in mind I haven't yet picked up my car, but the process right now in Ontario (Canada in general, actually) is a little backward. You put the $1000 down for your initial reservation. When you configure your car you put down a further $3200 (These are canadian prices, remember). Your order/build does not move forward until you put your $3200 down. At that point, your reservation page updates with a number of items required to take delivery: 1) Are you financing via tesla, or a bank, or paying with cash? (you select one of the three) 2) Are you trading in a vehicle? 3) Your vehicle registration address/info. 4) Your insurance info (I uploaded a copy of my CURRENT vehicle's insurance, as you can't really get tesla insurance without your VIN), this step is purely so they know you have insurance on your current vehicle. As I said, deliveries are kinda backward / hectic in Canada atm, so it took about 5.5 weeks from configuring to when I was assigned my VIN number. My 'delivery estimate' was 4-8 weeks, so it was still within that timeframe. We got word that delivery associates were phoning people in the initial delivery batch, and I was anxiously awaiting a call -- that didn't come right away. So I called the location that was closest, and spoke to a delivery specialist (Option #4 on their touch tone system), who told me that I should be expecting a call in a day or so, seeing as they had lots to get through. She asked me if I was financing or trading in, and I said yes to both - so she activated those two areas on my web portal and I applied for financing directly through the website. I was approved within the hour and then the emails began. A financial specialist from Tesla in california emailed me, CC'd my delivery advisor, and we went through the various term lengths and interest rates. Later the same day, my delivery advisor asked me to take photos of my trade-in, provide odometer readings and various other stuff about it, and they came back a day or so later with a preliminary estimate. So right now, all my financing is in order, I have a quote for my trade-in, and I'm awaiting news on my delivery date. He said that they hope to have all information regarding the order, financing, etc, squared away approx 3 days prior to delivery, so I can literally show up, sign papers, and drive away in the last week of may (or sooner, depending on vehicle transit time).

Thread: Tesla Model 3 |OT| Shoot into Space if Old
They Delayed US orders so they can also delay the 200,000th car delivery in the US until after July 1, so that more people can take advantage of the tax credit. I'm in Canada and my window moved up from "Late 2018" now to "Mid 2018", which makes me very happy, as I'll be getting my Model 3 likely before July now. If they pass 200k before July 1, the tax credit in the USA would go down to $3750 on Sep 1, and then $1825, and then gone. If they deliver car 200k after July 1, Tax credit wouldn't get halved until Jan 1 , 2019. If you think about it, it's the smartest move Tesla can make to get as many people in the USA the full tax credit. Right now, they're doing 1500 or so cars a week, by March (Q2) they're going to be upwards of 2500 cars a week. In September, they should be well on their way to 5-10k cars a week. Now look at the tax credit. If you can get what is essentially 30-50k cars a month from July 2018 to January 2019 (approx 240k total if you median it to 40k a month) to consumers at the full tax credit, versus 4k a month until june (16k cars approx) and have the tax credit start halving / phasing out for the second half of the year, what would you choose? More money in your customer's pockets, and the more likeliness people will hold on to their preorders if they know they get the full tax credit. Most the people cancelling/complaining are basically being "greedy". Yes, you could have your car sooner, but clearly you don't give a flying fuck about the rest of the country and the other 400k people waiting in line. You want your car and your tax credit now, I get it. But at the end of the day, the delay to after July 1 helps not only Tesla, but it also helps everyone waiting in line save just that much more. I get there are pre-existing Leases that people don't want to renew, or have cars that are on their last legs (myself included!), but there's a rationale behind their shifting deliveries to Canada and I've outlined it above. ALSO ON THE FLIP SIDE Ontario, which is the biggest provincial economy in canada, is having an election on June 8th, in which if the liberal party loses power, the $14,000 EV rebate might vanish overnight. Tesla delivering to Canada between may-July may ensure that we don't miss out on our provinical rebates. I'd fathom that all of canada's reservation backlog can be cleared out with one to two months of production... as is evidenced by EVERYONE who preordered in canada having the same delivery estimate, even if the pre-orders were on day one (pre-reveal like me), or 6 months later online.

Well. Let’s hope their Q4 financial reports show a major uptake in manufacturing and deliveries. Let’s also hope the Liberal govt stays in power in Ontario come June. And finally, let’s hope Canadian deliveries start prior to “Late 2018”. Can’t wait. Now I just need to decide on a color: Blue midnight Silver White Still can’t decide.

What a fucking shit movie. Everything up until they hit mainland was fine. The moment they got to that house it went downhill. The image of the brontosaurus on the dock was heartbreaking and incredible. But then it turned into a literal greatest hits of iconic shots from previous films done by a horrible cover band. It’s literally South Park’s member berries brought to life. Hey you liked when the girl from the first movie hid in a cupboard and closed the door in the nick of time to fool a raptor? Check. Hey remember when they had to reboot the system to turn on all the lights? Check. Remember when they had the shadow of the raptor in amongst fake versions of the same animal? Check. Remember when they had to climb up a scaffolding (in this case an emergency ladder) to avoid the raptor? Check. Remember when the female kid stood in terror against the wall and the male hero had to come and grab her to get her moving again? Check. Remember that hunter guy from JP2 who only wanted to get a T. rex head for his wall? Well now he likes teeth. Check. Remember when raptors tapped its toes once in the original film and then once in JW1 for a great callback? Check check check check check check. The list goes on and on and on and on. It’s aggravating. And then we have the characters. A dinosaur vet who has never seen a fucking dinosaur in real life. A nerd stereotype who serves literally zero purpose. Then we have Owen and Claire - why even split them up in between films? He had zero moral quandary about going back to the island at all, and they ended up kissing anyway. It’s lazy plot for the sake of plot. And then Zephram fucking Cochrane as not-John-Hammond-but-it-basically-was and his cloned daughter. L M F A O. Can we talk about the villain for a second? ALL THAT FOR $150m?!?!? It probably cost more to transport the fucking dinosaurs back from nublar. It’s Austin powers’ Dr. Evil level of stupid. And, finally for the sake of my blood pressure: Indominous Raptor... Ok. So. The Indominous Rex was a mix between a T-Rex and... a raptor... So they added... more.. raptor? And got.. that. Ok then. So the message of the film seems to be: fuck dinosaurs. This tech is gonna be used to clone PEOPLE! And ok, cool message, but the granddaughter/daughter cloning serves zero purpose to the plot of the film other than to let the girl go “hey they’re fake like me!” And press a button. I think I honestly hate this movie. And I LOVE the franchise. Goddamnit.

Is it fine during game play though? Sometimes some of the blurred overlays look I can't imagine they were intended to look that way. Especially the crate type selection on the crate opening screen (I know this isn't technically 'in-game') but it looks like some weird inverted oil effect. Not very Pretty. In game, I feel like the HDR takes on whatever its last state was. So if during the loading menu it ended as dim, all your in-game HUD will be dimmed too. If you're lucky and the loading screen ended as bright, your hud will be nice and beautiful and so will the game. It amazes me that this passed CERT in its current state.

I love how maul is gonna be such a WTF moment for anyone who didn't watch clone wars or rebels. ALSO. Clearly there is going to be more.. I wonder if disney is gonna take the marvel playbook and have the next few 'star wars stories' play out as their own little chronology. The eventual Obi-wan film could easily have solo on tatooine. Likewise, "solo 2" could easily have an ewan mcgregor cameo, or even a larger role. I LOVE that they're fleshing out maul back into the cinematic universe, and not just the television universe.. The fact that they weren't afraid to include him might just open up a ton of doors for further stories here. And here I was thinking this would be the first star wars film without a lightsaber.

Bunch of people move into a house, they do competitions to become head of household. That person nominates two people, a set number of people (The nominees and randomly chosen other houseguests) compete for Power Of Veto, winner of that is immune from eviction for the week. If it's one of the nominees (or if the winner chooses to use the POV on one of the nominees), HOH has to submit a new nominee. House then votes on who they want to evict. Evictee goes home. After a certain number of weeks, evictees become Jury Members and go to a jury house instead, they all come back on finale night to vote FOR who they want to win. Mind you, throughout this whole process, production (particularly in the US version) meddles like FUCK in the background and anything that is "America's Vote" or "left to the fans" is usually 100% bullshit and is manipulated to achieve the most drama and ratings-favourable outcomes that CBS wants (Like someone getting voted back in, or a secret hidden veto for someone who is for sure going home and that everyone hates, etc).

Watched the first episodes of Both Godless and Mindhunter based on the chatter in this thread. Initial impressions for anyone looking to do the same: GODLESS Episode starts slow, there are characters and events that don't get interesting until the last 15 minutes or so of the episode, once they solidify all the connections and you can start putting the timeline together. It plays with flashbacks to tell the story, and by the end of the pilot episode, it feels very promising. It also makes me want to play Red Dead Redemption again. Side note: Is the church at the start of the first ep the same as the one from Westworld? looks very familiar. MINDHUNTER This was great right from the start. Engaging opening sequence and introduction to the style of the show. Groff is so strange but personable, I love the supporting cast, the story is thus far intriguing, and can't wait to dive in deeper to this. Both shows have good pilots. Will def. watch the rest of them both.

That's such a BS excuse for lazy storytelling. Plenty of other shows have done flash-direction based storytelling much, much better than they are here. When certain characters and actions aren't given a timeline point of reference due to one of three characters that visibly age or de-age (robots, they don't age!) not being in the scene with them, it becomes increasingly difficult to place certain moments into the proper place (or even estimated place) in the timeline. It doesn't help when an entire episode (last night) seemingly takes place in a memory (but actually doesn't!? or does it?) because they made the screen flicker to black when they asked a character a question, and used it as a transition piece to move outdoors for the rest of the episode. I'm not hating on the show, just saying they're throwing so much out at once that it's becoming a bit of a chore to follow. I'm getting current-season Walking Dead vibes of "ok, enough shoot shoot bang bang, wtf is going on".

That's why they call me evil! But for real, yeah, even with the added frame rate and general power improvements at 1080p, you probably won't notice a handful of frames here and there, especially as most games generally try to hit a smooth frame rate (even if its' 30).. going from 30 to 34 frames, or even 40, in spots where it might stutter at 24-22 during load or stream-ins, isn't gonna be like "Holy shit this upgrade was so worth it!" like viewing content in 4k or HDR would. Was I generalizing/marginalizing the upgrades on 1080p? Yep. But I bet if you had them running side by side (Og bone and XBX) in 1080p, you'd get the same results as the pepsi challenge when dealing with an end user (and not a forum-goer like us!).

I had a similar issue with my OG Xbox One, and it had to do with Wi-fi Interference. The original Xbox controllers used their own version of bluetooth/wifi that had problems with some 5ghz bands. I also had my Airport Express right next to my xbox which would cause frequent disconnects. They apparently had fixed this issue fairly quickly, but perhaps something similar may be happening here? See if your console is close to your wifi router and give it a bit of extra room. It may alleviate the issue.

If you have an existing xbox one at 1080p, you won't feel a difference at all. The $100 discount seems .. low? I traded mine at EBGames (here in Canada) and got $200 off the price of the One X, so even there it feels like you're getting the short end of the stick. At best for you, a One S would be a worthwhile upgrade, but even that is negligible. You're not utilizing 4K, you're not going to see much benefit at all, and being strapped for cash, its def a need vs want right now. I'd hold out until you're in a better financial position, or are in a spot to utilize the extra power of the console.

Thread: Xbox One X |OT| The Scorpio King
Yup, HDMI Cables with the 4K/HDR generation have been an absolute nightmare. I have a Marantz NR1607, which supports HDCP 2.2 and HDR, but my cables were not high enough bandwidth for it to maintain connection. Was getting constant flickering, HDMI snow issues, and random cable failures due to lack of bandwidth (even though they were all 'high speed' HDMI cables). Even the ones that come with the original Xbox One and PS4 couldn't handle it. I ended up getting these (3 ft) (12 ft) and all my problems are solved. I'm running a VIZIO P75-C1 for my TV, it supports 4K and HDR, and all that jazz.. but there are a number of settings on the XBONE X that are confusing me: Of all the Hz availabilities, should I be turning off 24hz and all that, or just leave it on as default? How bout the Color Space? Standard or RGB? I've read that the RGB depth has added colors, and the TV auto supports it, so I calibrated based on that. Same with Bit depth? I've maxed it out at the 12-bit setting, and it still displays, even though I'm pretty sure the TV maxes out at 10bit. Anything else I should be looking for setting wise to make sure I'm getting the full range? I ran the "insects" interactive demo, and HDR/4K were clearly visibly making a difference. Just want to be sure I've got the settings done right 100%.

If Germany somehow manages to spend 2% of the GDP then the german army would instantly be the third largest army in the world. The world doesn't want Germany to have such a huge army and neither do (we) the germans want to have such a huge army. We would literally need to coat our army vehicles in Euro bills at this point to meet the 2%

PlayerUnknown's Battle Royale was first introduced in ArmA 2 in the year 2012. I guess the "PUBG franchise" already made the first half of the decade? So it's just another half decade to go until you will recognise it as a game? Funny that you mention Counterstrike. Do you know how long it existed before it turned into a "game" by your definition? On topic: there are valid reasons to give it a 10/10 but personally I would have went with a 9

Counterstrike, Quake and Unreal existed way longer than 2003-2004. Also PUBG is already huge in the eSport Scene (even tho it's more on the Show / Entertainment side and less on the professional competitive side). But I don't see what any of this has to do with the fact that the game is huge, that the "franchise" exists already since 5 years and that it is simply a fun (and valid) game.

Wenn die Aussagen zu den Sondierungs-Protokollen so stimmen, dann muss man sagen dass die FDP sich vielleicht gar nicht mal sooo schlecht verhalten hat. Dass die Partei den Punkten zustimmt, und dann ein Herr Ch. Lindner auftaucht und im Alleingang alles abbricht... #EgoPosterBoy. Wenn sich das Bestätigt dann gibt es hoffentlich entsprechende Konsequenzen. Erfahrung sammeln: 1-2 Wochen. Meistern: niemals. Falls du dir selbst erstmal nur Erfahrung beibringen willst dann nehm so etwas wie Kubuntu. Wenn du dir direkt die harte Kante geben willst: Debian ohne fancy-clicki-bunti Nutzeroberfläche.

In Case and Bot I wish I had more time or budget to do a full notebook with notes and things written down etc. That would be cool. There was also an idea to emulate something I saw only a game or two do: if you are away from the game too long, when you come back, there is a small cutscene putting you up to speed where you were and what's happening.

Hey can you add my little game to the list? :) is the sequel to Murder in the Hotel Lisbon, a PnC Adventure game released in 2014. We are aiming for an early 2018 release. Someone has been killing passengers on the express train from Lisbon to Porto, every single day since Tuesday! Someone needs to stop the killer! Once again Garcia is not up to the task (was he ever?) and reluctantly calls upon his old friend and his strange flying sidekick: the mythical Detective Case and the unmistakable Clown Bot. Together, they will board on the express train, bother everyone by asking annoying questions, pick up everyone’s belongings and call them clues, drink and eat for free at the bar (because they are working after all!) and if all goes well, find and stop the express killer. Oh, and they have to babysit Garcia’s kid because his mom is in Porto and Garcia is busy and since they are taking the train to Porto they might as well take him with them. What could go wrong, right? Time for you to board on a brand new adventure filled with humor, cases (this time many cases!), mysteries, and even more characters now than ever before! Will you be able to gather clues, solve the puzzles, succeed the trials, and find the culprit before reaching the final station?! Thanks!

We launch on the Lot's of work to do and still bugs to iron out but it's coming along nicely. Putting a trailer together is always one of my favorite parts of promoting my games. This time I got the budget to hire a voice actor from Fiverr and to license the cool music I used. Also changed some of the shots to better match the timing and music. The Clown Bot flying shot was the one that gave me more work as animating something like this moving in pixel-art is a bit hit and miss. Turned out ok I think :)

Hey fellow devs, quick question here about Steam and social awareness of your brand / game. I am trying to understand if "wishlist aditions" of your game by a player is a good indication of a purchase when it launches. I mean, how much of a percentage do you expect from your audience to actually buy it? 50%, 25%? And, of course, if anyone has actual numbers, it would be great :)

I figure there is a percentage of people that do that, but how much? I do see it on my older game on Steam whenever we go on Steam Sales is when the wishlist gets used by players. Oh well.

Hey guys. My first post here in the Indie Game Development Thread. I am really happy to start sharing the work (here in resetera) we have been doing for the last 2 years (in between client work and other things) of the sequel to . It's called and the Steam page is up here -> It's the typical sequel. I kept what worked and added new stuff as needed. Listening to the fans helped in shaping the new game as well. Here are some screenshots and don't bother watching the teaser, it's the most stupid thing I could think of doing (even though I love it).

We put up our game at 25% on the Steam Summer sales.[/QUOTE] If you buy it, you might want to hold on a bit before playing as we will roll out update 1.06 at the end of Steam Summer Sales. We moved to Game Maker Studio 2.0 and with it added more support to current chipsets and other silly computer things. We also adding support for controllers. As a curiosity note, and considering my game is already 4 years old, we are getting more sales from China than anywhere else. Weird but cool. On a side note, the Steam browser game is really weird. Are you guys really playing it to get (even) more games?

If you're playing as the 'friend' you won't unlock achievements or trophies, but your progression will stay so if you pick up the game it'll pop the achievements you've earned. You can also pre-load the friend trial at anytime, so no having to wait until getting an invite etc.

Thread: Normalisation of 'plus-size' risks hidden danger of obesity, study finds (Read OP)
I'm a bit late to this thread, but I think a huge part of the battle is convincing people that 1) they can lose tons of weight by cooking their own food, 2) it isn't hard/time consuming, and 3) it doesn't have to be expensive. As someone who lost 35lbs and has kept it off for over twelve years now (from 140+lbs to 105lbs) even after having two children, I'd be happy to share some of the cheap-but-good-and-easy recipes I use (like baking your own bread sans all the sugar you get in store bought versions!). I get that it's boring as hell to think you can only eat boiled chicken/rice and the like and cost is a concern, so as a bit of positive direction from all this, why not do a recipe jam with other posters? Approaching cooking your own food like a chore can kill your motivation, while turning it into a creative activity can help you lose that weight and boost your mood. Win-win!

I'm 5'3.5, and it might seem tiny by today's standards, but I'm hardly miniature. I'd have been above average in the '70s or even '80s, I'd warrant. It's not, actually. At 5'3.5" I'm still in the healthy range (just). But that's why all this sizing stuff is so crazy. I'm not super skinny yet I have to find 0 or 00 sizing in the US to fit, and in the UK a size 4? But they don't carry that anywhere, and they list size 8 as 'S'. It's absurd. There was an article on this a couple of years ago and it showed that Brigitte Bardot in the '70s was a size 8. Today? She'd be a UK(?) 0.

Sorry, I worded that wrong. I didn't mean that the average woman was that weight, just that there were so many people way skinnier that it feels big. Yes? It's exactly what I said, I'm in the healthy range 'just'. And I never related BMI to clothes at all. I never even brought it up, you did. I just said that the sizing has changed like crazy over the years, in part due to vanity sizing and it's made 'small' something not really small anymore.

You can cook stuff yourself that tastes way better than a McRib and is cheaper (stretched over a few meals), but it takes effort and people will make all kinds of excuses to not make an effort. It's ridiculous the lengths we go to tell ourselves x, y, and z is too hard. Anyway, I'm not directing this at you (unless you're arguing this for yourself?). I'm just frustrated because I run into this same argument with my sister. She's always been pretty hefty, but recently she blew up to over 200lbs and she's only 5'2". In part it's due to medication she takes for her transplant (though it's supposed to stabilize after a year which she is far past), but mostly it's just her shitty eating habits and excuses. She's got gestational diabetes now and STILL eats at McDonalds because she's 'hungry/doesn't want to cook/it tastes better/it's convinient' BS.

Thread: CricketERA |OT1| "Weird, a bit random, not what I was expecting"
My feelings as well. I really like that about the Aussie sporting mentality. I think the punishment handed down from this will definitely send a message to anyone else contemplating the same. Was Warner really that disliked? I mean before all this. I know he was a bit of a hothead and a jerk in the past, but he seemed to have settled down after wife/kid and seemed solid generally. I liked him well enough from what I saw anyway. Haven't followed cricket as closely as before since moving to England, though. Yeah. When I thought it was only going to be a one game suspension or some other slap on the wrist I was pretty disappointed, but this seems about right. Harsh, but right. What they did wasn't anything much for some, but it seems to have done some serious damage to the sport's image/integrity, so I think it's fair. This will stay with Warner and Smith for the rest of their careers, but they deserve another chance to come back from it (if anyone's willing to have them). :( Man, that hits me. Like, I'm glad they're really stamping down on this thing, but it's painful to see someone so destroyed, especially if it's true that he was mostly just covering for Warner. I really liked Smith and I hope he's able to get some of the respect back eventually and return properly.

Cons: Get caught Get demoted Get fined Taint integrity of the sport Taint reputation of team Taint personal legacy Ruin career Embarrass self Embarrass country Etc., etc. With all the cameras around you'd almost certainly be caught, so just...why? I haven't been following this test/the sport very closely this year, so maybe I've missed some all-consuming need to win this game, but it just doesn't seem to make any sense.

So you think it's endemic. Like diving in soccer kind of? They just see it like strategy. I guess Smith did say everyone does it for 'advantage'. That's pretty effing lame. Makes me not want to watch it anymore. A bit of sledging, fine, that just seems to be a guy thing in sports and can be ignored, but the level it's gotten to (the pettiness, the wife thing) coupled with apparent normalized cheating is just a huge turnoff. I don't like the burn and raze it to the ground approach that seems to be the popular option these days, but I don't see how they're going to correct this now (i.e. keep/bring back fans) unless they let the 'leadership' group go. Am I overestimating the damage? Are people OK with just a few suspensions/fines? I know Faf seemed to have gotten past his own cheating instances just fine and still plays. I don't know if I'll tune in again except for T-20 now, though.

I really hate sneaky stuff like this and diving and have always found it strange that ppl are cool with it. I know it probably only results in a slight advantage if any, so is that why you're ok with it (in general)? Are you of the same opinion as bomma man, then? About the legality point?

I feel the same. It just doesn't make sense to me on any level. I'm not even Australian (my husband who is introduced it to me), but it hurts. Smith was the last person I expected to do something like this. I guess I completely misjudged him. That or they had him do it as insurance in case they got caught they could chalk it up to the 'young fella' making a rookie error or something trying to help them win. I don't know, but agreed that it'll colour his entire career from here on out. Damned shame.

Awesome. Thank you. I just wasn't sure because it's a nicer place than your typical pub, it's Cheshire (and they seem big(?) on tipping here), and the bartender sent me a freebie because of a pest at the bar. I still feel like I should do something, but at least I know it's generally not the norm, which is reassuring. Cheers! It's just confusing because this area always seems to have a 'tip' line on the bills, so I never know what to do. As I've just moved to this town too and it's fairly small, I don't want to leave a bad impression since I'll be coming back quite a bit.

I didn't think anything odd of it at the time, but the only guys who were interested in me were always at least 10 years older. I briefly saw a 27 year old, a 29 year old, and had a couple of dates with a 36 year old when I was 17 and then 18. I was already in college then, though, so it didn't seem so weird.

Pre-34 they'll try and delay you for as long as they're able so that the lungs can develop to a fair point (they were hoping to keep my sister going a few more days to hit that milestone, but the baby had other ideas), but yeah, generally it's you pop, it's game on in the next 24 hours.

It's not just you. I don't think about my personal health so much, but my mortality is in neon lights right now. The idea of possibly checking out early and not being able to protect my kids/see them to adulthood haunts me. It's hella weird and scary. Of course, worrying about losing them is 1000x more scary. :( 25? Mine's 2+ and likes curry/a bit of spice, so when she asked to 'smell' the chili spice (she 'helps' cook) I stupidly took the lid off for a sniff but instead she inhaled a bunch. I felt horrible. The next day I gave her some of the fresh pizza I'd made for dinner. It had chilies on it. I was the worst mom on the planet that day too. :(

The lists they give you are absurd. I understand the need to be cautious to a degree, but they just lump everything on a 'danger list' if there's even the tiniest chance a problem might happen. It's like they're trying to make an already tough time even more joyless. -_- I don't want to encourage you to take unnecessary chances (like eating some back-alley poke), but if you go for a second, you'll might find yourself rolling your eyes at all the restrictions you followed during round one. Just use common sense and avoid the bigger problem foods, I say*. *I've been known to eat questionably fresh things without noticing and have a cast iron stomach. Take with a grain of salt. EDIT to add: Sushi is back on the OK list, btw. It's all flash frozen in the states, so parasites are killed off. Just make sure you get it from a decent/clean-looking place.

I mean, I know all that since I've carried two babies to term. I'm just annoyed as the one subjected to these lists by both doctors and the general public. The looks I'd get for buying cheese or ordering a steak medium rare to say nothing of the actual comments you get. Like I said, I understand why they give you these lists (why wouldn't you try to minimize as many risks as possible?), but I personally find them over the top. Your likelihood of getting a dodgy cheese is certainly far, far less than your chance of getting into a fender bender (in terms of death you are 126x more likely to die in a car accident this year than you are to die of Listeriosis, apparently). They'll be jamming pregnant women in stasis tubes next to minimize all the risks soon :P. Additionally, as you said, advice varies from doctor to doctor. My Australian midwife even recommended beer every now and then if I felt like it. I think the info is great to have, but the fear mongering that comes with it is all a bit much. It made for a stressful and un-enjoyable pregnancy on top of everything else for me with my first one. I was quite a bit more relaxed with #2 when it came around. But, of course, I'd only recommend people do whatever makes them comfortable. I wouldn't want anyone getting sick because I encouraged them to eat some parma ham.

Have an update on the whole weight affair. We got an urgent referral from our GP to go to the bigger hospital since he couldn't see anything wrong with her and we were there for 7 hours doing exams, blood tests, etc. As expected, they too have no idea (blood normal, is happy, seems healthy at least), and they want me to go dairy free to see if she has an allergy (though she has no other symptoms). What joy. I tried the same with Mia when she was super gassy as a baby and it achieved nothing but my own misery since the morning latte is the only thing that keeps me going through the day, the only thing I look forward to after these horrible nights, and the only thing getting me out of bed and functioning. They also wanted us to try dairy free formula to see how she'd respond, but as I mentioned before, she won't take the bottle and wouldn't even after they had me make her wait for three hours to make her extra hungry. Instead I got to listen to my apparently underfed baby cry for hours because she was hungry and I wasn't allowed to feed her. Then they told me I could either stay over night for observation (impossible with another kid) or come back again and they would next use feeding tubes to force feed her and test different formulas. I negotiated one week to see if cutting the dairy from my diet would help, but that failing, it's back to the hospital for feeding tubes. Wahey. Thanks, chica. The house isn't exactly pristine, but I try not to leave caked food on the walls at least. I'm sure my husband would understand if I let it slip more, but I think the mess would only contribute to the overall poor mood. I won't dwell on it, at any rate. Food-wise, almonds were part of the shakes I was drinking and I'd put pistachios on the plain oatmeal when I made it. I'd love the no-bake recipe if you have it handy. But, not sure I can have it now ('dairy denied' as mentioned above). As for Emma, just cross your fingers for me this week. Last chance, it seems. Cheers for sharing your experience. Hoping we see a similar outcome. She is having plenty of wet nappies and all three doctors that saw her said she was well-hydrated, alert, etc., but they're not satisfied and she's past 10 weeks now with no improvement. I've tried supplementing, as I mentioned, but she won't take the bottle whether it has formula or breastmilk. I have no issues topping her up with whatever if it'll help, but nothing is working. We just got two more types to try and I had some small success with the Mam bottle this morning, so hopefully I can start doing this at least twice a day to add to her intake. For the feeding and weigh-in, they had not done that yet, but I imagine they wanted to had I stayed over night for observation. The health visitor will be coming (again) and bringing her scale this time, so I'll ask her to try it then. Sadly she won't take it. They've given us new formula (Neocate?) and I've got some new bottles, though, so fingers crossed. All that would be possible...if I didn't have to mind a 2 yr old (makes pumping nigh impossible more than 1-2x a day) and baby would take the damn bottle. :/ Sorry to hear you guys had to deal with that, though. As much as I didn't care initially about breastfeeding (lukewarm about it, really) it's pretty demoralizing when it doesn't work or work as it should. Everyone keeps looking at you, expecting things or pressuring or there's this lingering implication that you're doing something wrong or don't care enough, etc. The whole thing just sucks. I'll look into the domperidone, though. Thanks, CD.

It all sounds awful. I'm sorry, Tb. I think my husband has similar pangs of helplessness because there's not a lot he can do and has to leave for work as well, and I know that can take a toll on you even if you're not directly at baby ground zero. But(!), this is where a nanny/babysitter-type person will really help. If you're worried about how to sell it to your wife, remind her that she deserves/needs time to focus on her own work for your future (not just for immediate relief from the situation) and that having a trusted option to watch your child opens up many doors, time for you two as a couple being an important one. If she still balks because maybe she worries that it still comes off as a self-ish or frivolous spend, you can always point out that you to vet someone because you may have an emergency some day. A vetted sitter would be essential there. Anyway, wishing you both luck and relief. Feel free to vent any time. I sure have of late. ^_^; Thanks, man. I'm really hoping this is what they meant and not the kind you see in ICUs. As for the allergy, yeah. I never considered it because, well, she hasn't really shown any signs except gassiness which is not exactly uncommon in babies...

Tbm, how about just getting a regular sitter to watch your daughter for 3-4hrs/day during the week so that your wife can focus and have some non-crying time? Lots of older folks have free time and fairly cheap rates, or you could even enlist a college kid for some part-time work (maybe put up an ad suggesting childcare majors, etc. get a preferred baby rate). It wouldn't bankrupt you like childcare/daycare and it might be enough to get her over this rough patch. As a mom who also worked from home, I completely empathize with the strain and stresses of never having time to focus on your own work, much less free time. Even just a few hours a day/week of her own time would do wonders for her mental state.

I don't suppose anyone has/had low weight gain issues with their babies? It's really starting to do my head in. As part of the system here in the UK, you have your baby weighed a couple of times after birth by health visitors to see how they're doing along a growth chart. Emma started on 50th percentile line and gained really well in the first couple of weeks but has since just gone completely flat. Her 'arc' is more like a rainbow and she's dropped to the 9th percentile at this point (10 weeks). They keep having me come in week after week to weigh her and for the last few weeks I've done everything I can to up my supply and make sure she's full (pumping, fenugreek pills, teas, lactation shakes, eating oatmeal till I feel sick, tried topping her up with pumped milk, formula, etc.) and when I went in today to have her weighed after all of that...she'd gained nothing. Not even an ounce. She seems perfectly healthy in all other respects (we've had 3 evaluations now). There's no tongue tie, no latch issues, she's like a hulk during tummy time, alert, happy/smiling, doesn't act as if she's hungry, etc. It's incredibly frustrating, especially on such shitty sleep. I just don't have the energy to keep doing the 2 mile hike to the clinic every week on top of everything else. They want me to eat more and pump 6x(!) a day now, but it's a struggle to even pump twice a day with a very active 2 year old, 2-3 hrs of sleep a night in pieces, keeping everyone fed and the house from falling into complete squalor. Anyway, I'm mostly just venting. She's currently a medical mystery, apparently, but the health visitors keep riding me and it's stressing me out. Next visit is to the big hospital. Yay... I'm super jealous of your kid sleeping through the night so soon, but I feel ya on the toddler. I'm scared to switch over from the crib for that very reason. Sorry you guys are having such a rough patch with the sleep. It's def hard to go back to crap after full nights again. Fingers crossed for your guest visit.

Today is Mia's first proper day of nursery school! Aaaaand she's already out sick. The mere two trial days before were enough to fell her. :P We started our daughter on sweet potato puree (and some other purees) at 4 months because she was super keen and had no issues. Sweet potato is great because it has lots of iron which they don't get enough of in just breast milk around that point. Makes nice, little, easy to clean cow patties when they poop too! She was also holding and gumming chicken legs to death by 6 months? Having no teeth didn't seem to stop her in the least even though I was a bit anxious at first (nothing hard/crunchy allowed until teeth arrived though). Apparently my husband was eating chicken at 4 months according to his mom... *___*

It's pretty common. Both parents are tired, mom still probably feels pretty ugh physically and mentally (especially if the mom is breastfeeding), etc. It's understandable that relations would drop off. But...it can be a pitfall for couples if you lose that intimacy and all focus is put on the baby. I was pretty worried about that since I'd seen it happen to friends so I put in a bit of effort even though I was fried to hell. I made it a goal to aim for at least 2x a week and it really paid dividends for us. I'd say 3x/week was the pre-sleep training average in the end? It's something to talk to your missus about, though. Ask how you can help to get her some extra rest or just offer (an hour to herself for a bath, a nap, taking over some duties, etc.) and/or express how you want to do stuff as a couple/want her to feel special so make her dinner, get a sitter/help for even an hour to just do something together, send her off for a massage/spa... <--in general, not just for sex, obviously. Also, make sure there's nothing else putting her off like physical pain/discomfort. That stuff can linger for months and really kill any desire. Basically, it's not selfish to bring it up or want sex, but it definitely takes extra effort post-kids and can be kind of awkward to discuss bc you both feel weird/sleep deprived. Also, if your 4 month old only wakes once a night, count yourself lucky! ;) As for tricks, all I can suggest pre-6month sleep training is to load him up with solids (puree bc bed) so he won't wake up from hunger. It's prob just habit, though. Thanks. :D It's actually really fun. I open a beer and chuck on a podcast and let my imagination run wild. Good times. Thanks, chica! And awwww about Charlotte.

Hmmm, it's probably not powerful enough to do everything you want to do, but it's the only telescope I have any firsthand experience with (and still might work for you), but I got a National Geographic 76/350 Compact Telescope for my husband as an intro telescope. It's easy to operate, portable, and powerful for what it is (inexpensive). Might be a good starter one since your kiddo is still pretty young. You can always upgrade when/if he shows a greater interest. And if it gets busted it wont break the bank.

Pretty cool that he's so keen at this age. Hope you get a lot of mileage out of the scope, whichever one you choose. Tell me you're going to recreate constellations on his ceiling with glow in the dark sticker stars, too. I loved that stuff as a kid. Will probably do it to my kid, interest or no. :D Sounds pretty rough, peppermints. Sorry you guys are having such a time of it. Sleep deprivation is some next level torture for sure. I know it can get pretty dire when nothing seems to be working and you feel like it'll never end. We have friends in kind of the same sit. Kid slept beautifully for months and then stopped cold and they've been nursing her to sleep, through constant wake-ups, and bed sharing since (at 13 months now). One half of the couple isn't emotionally ready for sleep training, though. They've been sleeping in separate beds for months now and I think they're hitting a breaking point too. Anyway, you're probably sick of people telling you it'll pass, but I don't know any 18 year-olds that still need to be rocked to sleep, so somewhere along the line it does end. Probably? :D Advice-wise, can I ask what kind of sleep training you did and how long you guys tried for? Since you guys are close to the weaning stage (1 year)(if that's your cut-off), this might actually be an opportune time to do a big overhaul. Establish a whole new routine and yank the sleeping thing back into a solo thing. I know you're asking for resettling techniques, but it sounds to me like the only way to break the cycle is to go whole hog. If you do just want to try resettling stuff, though, do you guys use a sleep app at all? We used that as a sleep association 'trigger', and kept it at half noise when ours went down, then slowly raised it to full if we had to resettle her. That plus a bit of pressure (hand laid on chest) seemed to do the trick sometimes. Maybe give that a go?

The app is just a free white noise player with a bunch of options on the iphone named "White Noise Lite." By 'trigger' I meant that we start it every time we go into her room to put her down and now just hearing it go on works like a sleep trigger bc she's associated it with bedtime. As soon as we hit the button she starts rubbing her eyes. :) So, DL it and start switching it on right before you put your son down, but have it at half or a lower volume. If he wakes, do your reset (go through whatever routine/feeding you have for bedtime/to get him down again), then raise the volume on the app right before you put him down again. It takes a few days to establish the sound as part of their sleep routine, but once in it helps signal '' and might help you settle him more quickly or in one go. It may or may not work for you as well as it did for us, but hey, it's free and painless to try! Good luck!

Well, it finally happened. 40w+3 'Taco' made her entrance, heralding in the first snow of the season. Round 2 was lightning fast and props to Macclesfield Hospital for having a waterbirthing room with in-built entertainment. Yes, that IS a disco ball. Yes, it rotated. Yes, they had a selection of funky music that was available. The storm-bringer (Emma) pictured below. She was born the day before the move which made things very, um, challenging, but so far this place is brilliant, so maybe that eviction was the best thing that could have ever happened. Yay, fireplace!

Sorry for double post! Hoping its cleared up at this point, but man that sounds tough. My sister-in-law's kid seems to be sick constantly and doing the round the clock screaming/puking thing and I can't even imagine. Hope your kiddo is OK and your sanity intact, Slek. Any time you want to pop in and just write down how you're feeling or talk through any of this stuff, please do. I'm a woman, but we have lots of dads in here. While there's nothing I can say that can even hope to touch on the scope of what's happened to you and your wife, many of us have experience with loss on some level, so you're in good company. Don't hesitate to share.

Thanks, emag. I say go for it! I need more 2+ kids company as I brave this fresh new hell. :D (Just kidding. It's not that bad -so far-) Adoption's also a possibility, but remembering the few threads we had on that topic, it sounds extremely trying logistically and emotionally. A wonderful thing to do, but man they make it tough for you. Thanks, yo! Cheers! And we did. We're all transferred over to the new place, nice and cozy. Only thing left now is fighting it out with an increasingly dodgy rental agency on the old place... Thanks, chica. She totally looked like an old Asian dude who'd had about 20 beers under his belt that first night, though. As for the move, just glad to have survived it. Thank god my mother was here. Would never have managed it otherwise. Feel bad that her whole trip was essentially packing and waiting around for Taco rather than relaxing with her grandkids, but she definitely saved the day. Thanks, Septimus! And wahey on the name~ It's, unfortunately, featured in the top 10 lists for ages, but it's just so classic-sounding. Short, feminine without being over the top, works in Japanese (for us), etc. It won out in the end despite the list thing. Was partial to Elora, too, though. Happy to hear it didn't last too long. I think 3 days is about as much as any sleep-deprived parent can take before going off the edge. For the sickness average, though, that sounds insane! Mia will be 2 in a few months and she's been sick... 0.5 times. I say 0.5 because she only threw up once and I'm pretty sure that's because she'd been jiggled in the Ergo too long. Is that like a daycare kid average? I heard that's what gets them.

$7000? Nefarious! I thought that didn't count for 'classic' (common)(heh) names. I'll have to measure her by her sister and see what happens. I'm with your wide, though. A one "m" Emma looks kinda lopsided. Hahaha. Can't win, right? I actually feel like you're spot on that "Henry" will be the next royal baby. Maybe you should take out a bet on it? Did you find yourselves () liking names that you found out later were featured heavily in the top picks lists? I wonder what it is that steers us towards those names at the same time. I loved Olivia, Ava, Sophia, etc., and then found out everyone and their cousin were naming their kids that. Before that I adored Aden and found out the same thing. :( Stupid brain! I'm really dreading when this happens to us. We've had such consistency since I did the training at 6 months that it's always a shocker when she cries in the middle of the night. 90% of the time she settles herself, but having to do resets always makes me nervous. The nights after those my husband and I are on psychic pins and needles dreading hearing the cry that means a pattern is starting...

No dice. We found out on Friday and wrote immediately, but the agent (the owners are in Australia) said that the owners have already made their plans and bought tickets, etc., so they don't think any extension would be a possibility. How "unfortunate," they can help us set up viewing appts/find suitable options, etc. (for a fee, of course)... Basically, we're on our own. :P Thanks, yo. We'll manage (we're international/moving pros), but I think my husband is going to have a panic attack. If I have any complications like a C-section, then I'll join him, but for now I'll just tell myself it's a chance for a better kitchen. Or something. Makes Japan look appealing right about now, though. That you, Soul (name change?)? 'Preciate the kind thoughts. No friends (being a preggo who has a kid and can't drink has not been a great selling point in finding friends) or family to speak of, sadly. Husband's family is in Australia, mine's the states, and we're in England. My mom IS coming over for ~2ish weeks for the birth, but she's quite frail, so heavy-lifting/packing might be beyond her. Good thing I've been doing my daily squats, eh? Fly you over for some beers and we can lock the kids in the backyard?

Yeah, it's pretty lame. Can't say they knew, though I doubt that would make much of a difference, tbh. Since they're overseas and removed from it all, so to speak, it's all been very impersonal/business-like. I don't mind that, but it does leave the impression that our circumstances wouldn't mean much to them since they have their own family/international move to worry about. As for sleep schedules, we're still chugging along (knock on wood) with the sleep schedule I put in place following the 6 month training. 7-7, sometimes 7-8 if we're lucky. The time change only seemed to throw me and my husband off. I just reset Mia's by half hour increments until we were back on track and nothing changed, thank goodness. Can't say the same for naps, though. While I can basically get her to literally put herself to bed (I started a new routine a month ago where she sits on a chair and drinks a mug of milk, then we walk upstairs together since I can't carry her in my state, she turns on her rain app, then I drop her in bed) she hasn't really gone to sleep. She'll sit and chat to herself despite going in rubbing her eyes and declaring "IN THE BED" like a dictator. Dunno. Think I've pretty much lost them for good. Is 20 months like some kind of cut off for naps? I though I'd get these till she was at least 3 or something... :( That was some high quality milk, though! But, yeah. It's kind of a mess. However(!), the husband just sent me a really awesome-looking place that he's booked for a viewing tomorrow. It's in some random village at the edge of Cheshire (aka, nowhere near our current place), but it's got 4 bedrooms, is detached, AND has a kitchen island all for just a bit more than we're paying here, so fingers crossed. If for some magical reason it checks out and accepts pets, maybe I'll be excited instead of exhausted.

Thank ya. It's kind of do or die, but I hope whatever desperate choice we make here is a halfway decent one. Rushing into longterm lets never turns out well, though. :/ Congrats on pulling out the "adult" voice. How old is your kiddo? Thanks, Sept. It's definitely a bummer, but I guess at least we always did anticipate moving not too long in the future. Hugely pregnant or not, I couldn't even imagine living somewhere 25+ years and then being told to leave. That would just be a blow to your core that I'm not sure you could come back from. Makes me really sad to hear that. :( But, yes! Must focus on the kitchen and the little island it has. C'mooooon, random place in random village! It was suggested to me that I should have Mia tag along whenever I went so she could get used to the idea and the place, but I haven't been myself in...5(?) years... No one mentioned when I should start bringing her, but I was thinking around the 2 year mark because she has some teeth now. Kind of relieved you haven't yet either, tbh. ^_^; OK, now I'm scared... We use children's toothpaste (not sure if there's flouride or not), but she tends to just suck or chew on the brush half the time. Every now and then I flip her upside down and give them a good proper brush, but hadn't been fussing too much about it. She only has her top front and bottom four atm, and they look fine, but... -_-

I haven't had cavities since I was...12(?), so aside from a cleaning every now and then because of insurance stuff (lack there of a lot of the time) in the states, I just never went. It's been a bad tendency that's carried on into late adulthood even when I have insurance/money now, I guess. Like with hospitals, I've just never gone unless I couldn't stitch it up myself. :( But, how does one go with a kid? She can't sit in my lap while they do their thing. Do people hire a babysitter for an hour or something or to join them at the office...? Maybe. :/ She has been having that mug of milk every day before bed lately now, though. Ugh. I don't even know how any of this works in the UK. By the time I figured it out in Australia we moved. Time to do what you're going to do and call around, I guess. All I want to do is sleeeeeeeeeeeep. Good luck to us both. Keep me posted on how it goes for you. If #2 will just wait a bloody week, maybe I can get us both taken care of while my mom is here.

Housing update: Looks like we may have found a place! It's pretty far from here, but it's everything we've wanted from a place, minus the extra commute. Just waiting to see if our application checks go through. If they do, we're planning on moving...in the next 2 weeks... Guess it's time to buy a baby wrap to strap kid #2 to my back. :P Sept! Kitchen islaaaaand! Book your ticket now. Cider will be served~ Hmmm, well, that involves the husband which is part of the problem. It'd be no issue if I could wrangle him in, but he's even worse than me when it comes to doctors or dentists, plus his job is super high pressure and time off is incredibly difficult to wrangle. He's really done their heads in refusing to travel internationally right now. :P That's why I was wondering about a 'solo' parent attempting this. My mom made it here in time (after missing her flight...), though, so maybe I can schedule the check-up while I have an extra pair of hands. Sorry to hear that RD. It's tough not to share the news when it happens. We had a similar thing with our first go, although we'd warned family it might not stick. Was still a shock when it actually didn't. :( Drop in any time if you want to talk about it more. It's something a lot of us have gone through, so you're among like company. My husband has and it made him pretty sad. He knows it's because I'm with her 24-7 and he only sees her briefly in the morn and at night/weekends, but I can tell it hurts him pretty bad sometimes. It's just one of those time things. It'll pass, but in the meantime, you can try and just carve out "Daddy" things if you have the time. Mine does the teeth brushing and grocery shopping with her now. That seems to have helped a lot.

Thanks, guys. Paperwork just cleared and the contract is signed! We move...in 4 days. I'm still hauling the bowling ball. My due date is today. Doesn't feel like anything internal is moving at all, though. Hahahahaha...ha... We are so fucked. :D A bit. We had 'electronics' issues where instead of reading or playing or engaging with Mia, they had a tendency to just whip out their phones and show her pictures even though we'd made a point of trying really hard not to have people do that. They've pretty much had to be the second parent to my sister-in-law's kid, though, so I think they're just fried on kids at this point, but it was still kinda bad. So, what I did to make it not be me telling them to stop behavior was to frame it like we'd been bad and we needed their help to remind us not to do it. That served to warn them that they shouldn't do it either without making it weird. Seemed to work. Maybe try that kind of reverse tactic?

Notice out of the blue. There's nothing malicious or 'fault'-related about it per se - the owners have just decided to move back from overseas and want to live in it now - but we've been here almost 2 years now and the time frame they gave us is absolute minimum. :/ We had been on a long term yearly lease, but they never sent a full year extension to re-sign so we'd been paying month to month, which makes us suspect they had this in mind, at least. Would have been bloody nice to know. I'm due in 2 weeks IF I don't pop early and I already struggle to just watch kid #1 physically-speaking, so I have no idea how I'm going to pack this place up. We're both frantically searching for suitable places, but even a 3 bedroom terrace (i.e. cramped as all hell) here is ~$1750/month and that doesn't even include council tax (another ~$250ish/month on top). There's no way we'll find anything halfway decent local. Sigh. My husband's already miserly paternal leave (2 weeks of his personal vacation time) is going to be spent on this now while I get to tackle Mia and the newborn instead of healing up. Wahey. I'd be pissed if I wasn't so tired.

Hey! I kind of did, but here I am. ^_^ And great to see you made it too! The name/ava change is going to mess me up, though. I'll try to transition it in my head, but I'm pretty hardwired to posters' tags/avatars (I'm old and resistant to change). Any plans to transition him out? Gonna get really tough later on (usually, anyway) from what I've heard if they get settled into bed-sharing. But, when it comes to sleep, sometimes whatever works is what's best for everyone's sanity and health~ A bath in with your newborn (initial few weeks) like a charming first, an idyllic memory, one of those stock photo moments of bonding... It's not. Don't do it. Don't even think it. Didn't have it with my first, but had something similar last night. I think in the end it was just the pelvis splitting (which is excruciating) and a hot bath/water bottle and bed rest helped calm them down. Best thing is probably just bed rest and making sure you have your bags ready to go (<--just for your own peace of mind even if they stop).

17lbs at...4 months?! Mia didn't even hit 20lbs until she was ~17 MONTHS. Wow. At that rate he'll outgrow the playpen before he's half a year old. :) But, anyway, if it works for you guys, go for it~ I hate to say it, but that does seem to be the broad case among everyone I know who has a boy vs. those who have girls. We had a couple of playdates with my husband's friends while we were in Australia and the difference between the two was incredible. The boys were whirlwinds of destruction while Mia would just try and offer them things and/or play quietly. Now that Pete's walking (ruuuuuuunning) I imagine you guys have to have everything on lockdown and are probably mainlining coffee. I don't think I'd be able to manage that at all right now. Do you guys think you will eventually go for a second? Sadly, I'm more trepidatious than excited for #2. We'd always planned on having at least two, and given my age it makes sense to get it taken care of sooner rather than later, but man...I don't feel ready at all. For terrible two stuff, I've heard tanties are linked to frustration over communication a lot of the time, so that could be why you guys are getting it so rough right now. My friend had similar with her son (he didn't really start even saying basics until he was past the 2 yr mark) and he would have meltdowns pretty often. But once he started in earnest everything smoothed out. Did you guys find that was the case with Nick's brother? Mia gets frustrated when she can't do complicated actions after a few goes at it and stuff gets thrown, but she's only really melted down once. She wanted "up, up, up!" and I was too tired to do it bc of baby #2 so my husband had to carry her and she puddled into a screaming mess on the floor. Gave us a good laugh, and when he carried her (still going at full volume) an older woman who passed us called out, "You go! Work it, Dad!" :D To add: While we've been mostly spared on the tanty front, my kid's the kid dropping F-bombs in public and mispronouncing "clock" at the top of her lungs, over and over and over again... Congrats(!), and don't stress, it's not a given. Some people get kids that sleep through the night from the get-go, others have it fall into place later, and some of us sleep train. There are (usually) options. Until then, there's always the liquor cabinet and dark corner to rock in as an option. :)

Cheers, Xagarath! I I'd say yours is right up my alley, too. Hey, maybe that's a good 'middle-aged' strategy. Book exchange with fellow authors? :D Thanks for the rundown on the giveaways. For smaller authors, even patchy results are something, though, right? I'll have to check out librarything and see if I can't do some kind of push maybe right before the final chapter of Dead Leads is published so that I can tie it to book 2's release. Instafreebie sounds interesting as well. Even if it doesn't translate to high sales, people can get a taste of it. That might work well for getting people to hang around for a second book. Is that something you've thought about for your recent release? I feel you on the bloggers. They're so tough to get eyeballs from. I'd kill to get a video review (that's not from a missionary who hates swearing). I did see in GoodReads that there's a review request section () that seems to have recent/some activity from bloggers. Maybe an option? Will check out New Writing North! So... 1) Media push to funnel readers to book 2/older release - 'Celebrating' the release of latest book by giving away first one on Twitter, FB, related book sites - Tie it to a holiday giveaway (Halloween, Father's Day, etc.)? 2) Book exchange with other authors to get fresh reviews to rekindle some momentum 3) Er... I need more coffee. :D Do you have a Twitter, btw? Unless we're already connected? My brain is dead after months of baby. Welcome from one whose book is about ghostly possession to one whose book is about more grounded possession! Had no idea there were so many fellow horror lovers in here. As Xagarath said William Gibson is your man. He pretty much set the tone for a lot of the genre. Read Neuromancer, Idoru, Count Zero, etc. Some of my favorite books. Screenplays sound much harder to market/grab traction because no one generally reads those for causal pleasure. If you've got media accounts, though, why not get some friends (or Era talent?) to read some of the scenes and record them. Then you can showcase those in timed releases to entice people to read the whole thing. You could do video, or just audio, or if you've any drawing talent, maybe storyboard scenes and showcase those? Congrats! And judging from Amazon and GoodReads, you've got a fair number of reviews already, especially with zero marketing. How many were you expecting? I think for most self-published authors, even getting a few is cause for celebration. What's your strategy moving forward?

Yeah, that must have been pretty awkward. Any weird reactions? And I completely feel you on the coworker thing. It doesn't sound stupid at all. Since I was essentially picked up to be a 'beach book' type novel by my publisher, the books I've done are a bit comfort food(?)-esque, so I worry that it'll impact what people think of my localization work. I wonder if any author ever stops feeling embarrassed about their stuff. Anyway, keep us posted on how the launch, etc. goes! Really keen to hear a detailed experience with promos and adds. My publisher did a giveaway on GoodReads and one of the winners was a woman named Kailey. She gave a very and awarded it two stars out of five. I was a little shocked at first until I read it. She's apparently a missionary and uber religious. She hated the swearing and drinking in the book (which are basically two of the MC's main traits) but seemed to really like everything else. It's actually one of my favorite reviews because in spite of absolutely detesting those bits (which are frequent) she still enjoyed it enough to finish the whole thing. It was really fascinating.

Right? And such a low review score will undoubtedly interest potential readers who are on the fence, and when they read the text, well... Hopefully they're not so dismayed by swearing and booze! I did think it kind of hilarious that out of all the people who could possibly win my book it had to be a missionary. Absolutely do it! One of the things that's really challenging once you start marketing it is what to use for content that's going to be interesting and not just the usual book talk. Tying the stuff you present to images is a must (because people seem more drawn in by visuals than text) and having it be locations from your book is a particularly good angle. You'll get tons of mileage out of it and have a bunch of different ways you can push it (a tour of Loch Ness or the castle, commentary on the beers in a pub that your character drinks in, local landmarks, things that inspired passages, etc.). Take a million pictures of everything and anything. And, yes, head off to Dunoon. I'd love to see it again in all its dreary glory. :)

Yup. Horror/dark comedy/slightly sacrilegious thriller with an alcoholic main character. what a missionary is looking for in a novel. Apparently she really liked the cover so entered it on a whim. And yeah? I've been interested in doing more giveaways to try and get the book out there a bit more, especially since it's been out for a while already and I'm not sure how to get people to give it a look at this stage. Reviewers seem to prefer new releases or upcoming releases. What's a 'middle-aged' book to do? :P It's also a bit tough because my publisher is the one in charge of that stuff, so I can't just hand it out willy-nilly. Would you recommend librarythings, then? I just had a look and it seems I actually have a review on there already! (Neato.) The goodreads one certainly made a lot of people add it to their 'to-read' list, but I only got two reviews from that it in the end. I had no idea they charged now, either. As for bloggers, that's definitely an option. A bit tough, but even getting one response feels amazing. One of the blurbs on my physical edition came from a blogger who reviewed it after I mailed her. Do you have a list or anything of who's good to send books to? I just flailed around looking for suitable reviewers when I did it, so that might be something we could all compile and add to the OP. Anyone want to brainstorm on 'middle-aged' book marketing strategies? :D

It's been ages since I posted, but the baby is a few months old now which means I get my 2 hours of freedom once a week to write again. Thanks to that I was finally able to finish another chapter of Dead Leads and send it off to my editor and illustrator for the magazine. Wahey~ Hope to post here more from now on. How's everyone doing? Status updates? :D Never. It's always embarrassing to read your own stuff afterwards, and then you think of others reading it and get more embarrassed, and then you think of others reading it that you know in real life and drink yourself into a stupor.

You're a machine, Timu. A goddamned machine. Thanks yo. It felt good this weekend, anyway. Now that we're back to the week, though, I'm only getting ~4hrs a night in <1hr chunks again and it feels like my head is going to shatter into a million pieces. If I write anything it'll be a note explaining why I threw my child into the sun... And holy shit at that word count. It'll be a stretch for my second book to even hit 60k. What are you writing, War and Peace the extended-extended version? O_O Hey-hey~ That sounds super exciting. What part of Scotland? What's the book about? Please say ghosts. You can do it!

Thread: Fitness |OT| A New Era Begins
Fitness experts, may I ask your advice? I have a family reunion coming up in 3 weeks and I'd like to tone up the butt/thigh area (more) before we go. I've been doing 50-100 squats a day for the last 2 weeks and there are definitely improvements, but if anyone had any moves that in their experience got good results, I'd love to know. Naturally I know that 3 weeks isn't going to net a makeover and I'm not expecting that at all, but given my weight/size it isn't hard to get visible results with a little more work, so I thought I'd ask. If any of those moves happened to gently help out the abdomen too, that'd be great. I can't do much there yet because all of the muscles are still weak/stretched, but I'm sure they can handle a little exercise by now.

Thread: Fitness |OT| A New Era Begins
Shame. And I had such modest hopes for 5 weeks of squats. :P Well, I'm ~105lbs and 5'4" in height, so I'm not worried about my diet except that I need to eat more which is easier said than done when my 2 year old wants to eat anything I make for myself. As you guessed, I'm a mom who recently had her second child, so my ab muscles are in a state, but I've been back to my average weight for a few months now. I'm just a bit skinny weak? Skinny soft? Sadly, sprint in the park aren't really an option unless I go at 8PM and skip dinner, my only decent meal of the day. I was hoping for something more bite-sized that I could squeeze in between naps like the squats. I do get plenty of walking and pushing a stroller because I don't drive so I hike the kids everywhere (baby strapped to me, toddler in a stroller). I'm not in horrible shape, just lacking tone, I think. What if I did 200 squats a day instead of 100? :D

Thread: Fitness |OT| A New Era Begins
And all those instagram squat accounts people post had me so optimistic too! Bummer. Maybe I'll work in some of those lunges you mentioned. Ab-wise, I could certainly do push-ups. My arms look all right (there's definition/they're firm from all the baby lifts), but I'm definitely lacking in strength and if it'll nudge the abs a bit too that wouldn't be a bad thing. I don't think I'll be able to do the ab wheel for a while, though. For weighted loads, I truck the kids out almost every day, and M-W-F I'm hiking them to the 2yr old's school which is just under a mile away + shopping later. There's no lack of exercise there. I lost the 30lbs I'd gained during the pregnancy in a month and a half. I heartily recommend kids for anyone who wants to lose weight. In fact, I'm happy to rent mine out any time. ;) For #4, I'm wounded. J/k. We'll see. I'm not the most motivated of people when it comes to working out (I prefer to just play soccer or something), but I might have more free time when the baby ages up a bit. Maybe 2019 resolution? And burpees? You madman. Thanks for all the detailed advice, VC!

Thread: ELEX is one of the best RPGs of 2017
I picked this up on Xbox after reading through multiple threads on it. I'm ~7 hours in at the moment, half way through level 8, playing on normal difficulty. I'm playing on an X so aside from the occasional stutter due to streaming / loading as I'm moving, the game performs well as-is. It's a weird game in that movement is rough, combat is really basic and kind of annoying (I'll circle back to that), stat allocation is pointless on its own instead acting as a restriction for weapon use and allowing purchase of skills and abilities, inventory management is mediocre at best, and there's a lot that is never explained, e.g. I have the potions skill, but I can't see anywhere that I can actually craft a potion in the UI -- I assume there's a crafting table somewhere that I have to find, much like campfires for cooking. So all that out of the way, the world is cool and fun to explore (I'm a sucker for post-disaster worlds), the factions are interesting so far (haven't dealt with the outlaws a lot yet), the interconnected nature of your actions and responses does matter in quests, the mix of easy and deadly creatures is (semi-)fun to feel out as you travel, and the jetpack is great to use. All these factors make the game a lot more compelling and interesting than I thought it would be. I recently was playing Fallout 3 again (IMO better than New Vegas and 4), and Elex has that same "yeah, it's not perfect, but does it really matter?" vibe that I love so much about Fallout 3. So back to combat - the basic timing system isn't bad, nor is the idea of stamina management, but the penalty of losing stamina on being hit along with health, means that you're doubly penalized for mistiming, which slows combat dramatically. Combat ends up not as a nice ebb and flow but this really conservative 2-3 attacks, pause to refill stamina, 2-3 attacks, pause, maybe special attack, repeat loop. On top of this you've got stunlock / juggling in the game, so when you have to fight more than one enemy at a time, if they leap and their timing is offset, you're juggled to death by multiple hits or knocked completely out of stamina, limiting your options for combat extremely. Same with grenades or any explosive - hit, knockdown, hit again, bounce, hit again, bounce, death. I'd say that PB nailed the role playing (i.e. playing a character and making meaningful decisions as that character) and world building part of Elex, but the mechanical aspects of what RPG means (to me at least) aren't great in any way shape or form. I can see why reviewers would harshly criticize it when it goes up against games with much more understandable and explainable skill systems and deeper (more varied) combat mechanics. For a small team, it's still one hell of an accomplishment to create a world this rich. Hopefully success drives more investment in refined skills and combat in the future.

Thread: The Pinball (digital and physical) ERA |OT| Full Tilt
Totally agreed! Bad (underpowered) flippers or an unwaxed table can make pinball a very, bad experience. I'm fortunate that I worked in an arcade for a while during college years. It was a small operation where we serviced the games ourselves, including waxing tables and replacing worn components, so I got really familiar with pinball mechanics, wiring custom harnesses and JAMMA adaptors, CRT degaussing and servicing, etc. I think a lot of people that buy a pin underestimate the work that goes into upkeep, especially any of them with complicated mechanical parts - the Addam's Family Thing hand, and Chuckie's face in Funhouse were big headaches when they started acting up. Things like High Speed - both a good table (crazy when newly waxed!) and relatively simple mechanically - are always nice to find.

Finished the main DLC story last night and have most of the side quests completed. This is the only PS game I've earned the platinum in and likely will be the only PS game I ever platinum, until an eventual sequel. Overall, it was a great side-adventure for Aloy and added in some nice reaffirmation of what happened in the main story - now I really just want the story to move forwards instead of sideways. Only bugs I encountered were a few T-pose blinks in conversations, Aloy's fascination with selling bluegleam even in the middle of raiding the bandit camp, and weird day / night transition pops during battles. The snow (plus long nights) could make it hard to see, especially at night, even in HDR / 4K. Great game, great DLC.

I would say it is just a case of learning the track, it is a long track so 8 seconds there is equivalent to 1.5 or so at any other track so you aren't too far off. If you are still having trouble after a few more laps maybe have a look at a youtube video or two and see where the differences are.

Especially weird considering an Italian won the round at the Nurburgring... Asking here as well, anyone got any experience with using the Fanatec CSL Elite with GT Sport? Considering a change from the G29.

You slid and I knocked you straight then you slid again and I had nowhere to go! Umm does the weight not relate to the overall weight of the car, eg if 100% = 100kg 105% = 105kg? Am pretty sure that is how it is so my car was actually overweight for the race, am happy to have my points taken off regardless if that race counts, or make sure it is correct the next time. Yeah if you look at the video here you can see as he reduces the weight reduction number the weight of the vehicle goes down, so while I was 4% up on power I was also 5% up on weight :/

Will see, I tested the actual settings and did a 1.54.3 so that was half a second quicker than I qualified last night. I had 2 laps of fuel left at the end so reckon I can run at 4 if I was to do the same strategy. To be honest if we do a rerun I think I will thrown on softs and do 5 lap stints.

In regards to other classes I would love to see DTM and SuperGT back in, both those classes run to broadly the same rules now so would be a great group of cars. I would like to see some GTE cars as well. Together these would bridge the gap between Group 3 and 1.

So that is a Group 3 road car, which harks back to homolgation specials. These are road cars that were specially built to racing regulations so a manufacturer could race in that series. In GT Sport there are some road editions of these, namely some Group 3 and Group B cars. These have some of the extra aero parts etc and more performance but aren't actually Group 3/B cars.

I agree there can be too many dives but there are also far too many issues of people just turning in and causing contact, sometimes you have to accept you are being passed. Also the one move rule is not the case for all race series, in NASCAR for example if you try that you are just going to get dumped off at the next corner.

I would honestly have no trepidation licking and sending a pass into that corner, it's the first braking point after the longest straight on the track, it's THE passing point on the track if anything, especially with a bit of a slipstream. Contact still sucks for those involved of course. I also recommend the radar as well when not racing with fuel use on, helps with those moments when you aren't sure where people are, as Bradley said the lack of peripheral vision doesn't help either.

Man CLR, you are just that wee bit too quick :P Great consistency, well done :) In regards to the incidents here is a replay of the start from my perspective, imo there was nothing malicious just difference of metres in braking distances and I guess reverse grids are always going to throw those up. Just need to be a tiny wee bit more careful:

The problem here is in race two Bradley going off was caused by lag, you can see in both the videos that both myself and experienced different things so in reality it wasn't the fault of either of us, but Bradley was the one who came of worst in the race. Who slows down in that case? I thought I was disadvantaged as I took an impact and lost two spots, Sejanoz thought he was disadvantaged as he thought I hit him into Bradley and Bradley was totally disadvantaged as he was sent off track. If something similar happened again I know I wouldn't be slowing down. Obviously if I make a mistake and knock someone off I will, and have in the past, wait.

Umm, can I get a confirmation of what the next race is? I thought it was the KYM and Honda at Tokyo but I saw some people mention Dragon Trail? Personally I would go with no damage, I don't mind a rolling start either but am also ok with keeping it as it is and going with a standing start. But hey, look at the F1 race at the weekend, even the best can get it very wrong and they don't have to deal with racing over a network!

Thread: Gran Turismo Sport Community Thread: Racing Leagues, Time Trials & More
So, I need to start paying more attention to things, didn't realise no setups were allowed so any practice I had done was moot. In all honesty the Honda was terrible over kerbs so the last half of the lap was a bit of a nightmare, however the car was still pretty good in the fast corners which ended u saving me in race two.... Qualifying was nice and close think 4 tenths or so covered the top 4 which is always entertaining. Race 1 Made a good start and then you can see what happened haha, Got a run on the inside then I should have lifted but didn't so CLR and I ended up at the back. Had a fun race following him through the pack until I made a mistake again and he left me behind. Fought through to 7th by the end. Race 2 I got a good start from 8th on the grid and managed to get to the lead by the end of lap 1, from there it was relatively uneventful until I made a mistake through the penultimate corner and picked up a penalty. I managed to lose a bit of it which lost me a bit of my lead but the rest I was able to get rid of over the next few laps. The last 8 laps was then just trying my best to old the lead lol, DHC was crazy fast compared to me but I was quick on corner entry on the sweepers so was able to retake the lead a few times at those corners. The second half of the lap was all about getting a decent exit off the corners as DHC was all over me. Very fun race and was delighted to be able to take the Honda to a win.

Yup. And the corner is just slightly not flat so very easy to run wide especially in a rear wheel drive Beetle. The first corner is something else as well, so hard to judge so very inconsistent. And then we have the fast bit towards the end of the lap, it is juuuuust flat, like 1 time in 5 for me so far.

Thread: Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite |OT| Hit, stunned, deterioration, now reset
The illusion of 'netcode getting worse' is very unlikely to be a change Capcom made. The much more likely reason is that the playerbase is shrinking, and so the number of quality connections it can find for you at any given moment is lower. This, obviously, increases the odds of having to play in a suboptimal connection. Just my opinion on the matter.

Thread: Let's look over Koei Tecmo's Switch support
Hi Dmiz, Honestly that question is hard to answer as a lot of fans of the series have differing opinions of what they consider their favorite. Not a fan of the time crunch and feel like playing at your own pace? You might prefer Atelier Sophie over the rest as it allows you to do things at your own pace. Prefer the character development and relationships of characters? Escha and Logy would be your thing. Want a more open world with some time crunch (only for the first part) and more at your pace alchemy then Atelier Firis might interest you more. Fans of the series tend to love the exploring, resource gathering and creating the best items through alchemy. Depends on what you're looking for in the Atelier world :)

We are doing that with Switch since we have an actual rough estimate of an average amount of copies that will sell. Phantom Breaker will probably be shipped soon after the sale as well as Senran just due to us working on that ahead of time.

We told people Super Hydorah was coming to Vita most likely later but we couldn't comment too much since it wasn't even ready for Vita at the time. Even the publisher/developers told people. ROM Vita came out of nowhere and we were pretty keen on not doing it originally, but everyone here asked for it, so I guess we shouldn't do it? Dariusburst Vita was never ever signed and wasn't kept secret, it wasn't until people starting asking about Vita that we realized we hadn't even signed it. We were under an agreement after that, that if the PS4 did well we could do Vita.

BadLand's release is canceled worldwide. Any orders for that release will end up canceled and unfulfilled. Before anyone gets upset, we didn't have anything to do with that - the developer came to us after everything with BadLand had already gone down. I'm unsure when BadLand will have the listings taken down from retailers, but I imagine it will be soon unless they want to anger their distributors.

I don't know where you are getting some of these numbers from. The price increase as a whole for all platforms is now $15 over the digital price vs $10. We had been taking a hit with every Vita release since we launched when compared to PS4. Vita and Switch are pretty on par with costs. We started off with price parity and we are ending with price parity.

Any older titles we have signed will most likely maintain the old pricing schedule. As well as some games that would increase in price too much if we added the extra $5. Like that Vita game that could be 8K units, I rather take a hit on profit than be stuck with all of them...

Going to nip this price drama in the bud. Yes, one reason is that Switch carts costs more than PS4 discs but not more than Vita really, since Vita maxes out at 4GB. So price parity is something we wanted and our developers wanted. The other reason is ESRB fees are starting to have a bigger impact now and people have been telling us for the longest time they would pay more if it was to help with the fee. So here we are... We have to pay more ESRB fees if we do multiple platforms, so there is a real cost increase.

So we could do this. Instead of listing 70% of the stock during the first batch we could just do 50% and still leave it at 2 per customer to see if there really is demand. If there is we can list the other 50% during the second batch and change it to 1 per customer. That way seems the safest without us being stuck with a ton.

When you get an ESRB rating, you own it for life. Since we do 1 print and done and only for certain platforms, it doesn't make sense for us to own the rating. You are also liable for that rating too. So for example, I do a PS4 release and then the dev works with someone to do an Xbox release and that version has something they didn't disclose or they didn't follow all the rules 100%, I would be fined for it.

Skullgirls statement thingy 5,010 copies were produced in total - which covers the ~3,500 which were sold, the developer and our promotional copies, and overage for replacements. The roll of stickers for numbers 0001 - 2000 ended up not being entirely usable, so copies that were sent out are all labeled 2,000 - 5,500, IIRC. Getting a new roll of stickers would have caused another two-week delay which we just couldn't afford at this point.

EAS has the benefit of being in China, materials are much cheaper. I don't feel like Signature Edition offers more, but that's my opinion. The box for Oddworld is awesome, the whole presentation is miles above what I see others offer typically. Majority of our fans are super excited about it and feel the $65 price tag is fair. Sorry some of you don't. Charging only $10 more does not even pay for the cost to make the box and have it assembled. We made a real effort to step up our game on future CEs starting with this one.

They're 50/50, some blame is game choices and some is userbase moving away to other consoles. It's definitely not like it was 6 months ago though. I have faith some of the bigger titles we have will draw some more customers back. But I do truly believe some have just plain moved on from Vita. But who knows, maybe when people see our announcements it will cause them to dust off their Vita or go buy another one. If the Vita is going out soon I want it to go out with a bang! Just had a childhood friend I'm visiting this weekend tell me he doesn't collect Vita anymore and mainly uses it if he wants to replay old Final Fantasy games. Hoping when I tell him about Munch he gets hyped again though since he first introduced me to Oddworld!

I think its for several reasons and by most likely in this order... 1. We released too many games at once! 2. The slow down happens to be happening when a lot of AAA CEs and games have been coming out as well as being during the holidays. This personally affected me as I had like 4 CEs shipped to me in a two week span and none of them were cheap... 3. More competitors and older ones stepping up their output.

PAX South was much slower with us not having a variant. Typically when we announce a variant we get a huge line formed as soon as the doors open. The secret to a successful event is having an exclusive, it's why pins are so big right now, booths with them get a lot of traffic. I don't feel like an LRG pin is enough to drive customers though. They usually get a pin for playing a game or buy it due to being a penny arcade pin.

Yes as of right now it's as it was originally intended with Vita and PS4 having separate stories.

Thread: Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
Yeah, I'm not being pessimistic just realistic. Like I'm worried some of the things I have personally planned for the Vita could backfire due to support dropping. I LOVE the platform and want to keep it going as long as I can, but I can't force people to keep their Vitas or convince Sony to support it more. I think it's a little crazy for people to be upset with my comment as it's just me sadly seeing the writing on the wall. I'm still going forward with my big plans and huge runs that are even at the peak of our success, are scary. I just want you to know that I may end up being bankrupt living in a house with furniture made out of Vita cases. But it will be my choice and no one's fault, just how the market shifted. I have big games coming that I'm hoping will have more worldwide appeal so help sustain their size and plans. Right now LRG's biggest audience is still mostly the USA, so with these, I hope to hit more countries that are still fighting the Vita fight as they will be only physical English version in existence for Vita.

What fat on Vita? The only thing in hindsight that is maybe considered that to me is Nova-111 and that's just based on the fact that no one who missed it asks for it and that it doesn't move often at shows. Mecho Tales actually moves and is requested.

Actually, we firmly believe a release like CS being a Japanese Vita game could have sold way more units a year ago. I'm not a fan of Strictly Limited Games name either, it's way too similar imo. I've had developers think it was us or playing a joke. But that's just my opinion. Right now I'm grateful to see games we passed on still get a physical release from someone else. I'll be having a call this week to see if we can announce our localization project soon.

I'll investigate USPS mail innovations, other companies we deal with use it but for some reason, our customers seem to have it the worst when it comes to tracking. Thanks for all the support. Just got in a custom Vita case with our logo on it. Holds 12 games, has a spot for charging cable and obviously your Vita. It's a nice hardshell clamshell case with zippers and a ring to add a strap or charm. Next up is to make a Switch case.

Thread: Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
This is what we are trying to communicate, this mentality. If people are "cherry picking" Vita releases then we are definitely going to slow down on signing new Vita games. The MOQ is too high to take chances with Vita as well as the COGS. We have already had to drop our run sizes to what is manageable and some Vita releases take longer to sell out than PS4. You combine that with Vita "die-hards" telling me they are now on Switch it makes absolute sense why other companies stopped supporting it. Our goal is to do it until there is either A. No market, or B. Sony says stop. I love my Vita and still play it more than Switch right now, so if the true Vita fans keep buying from us then everything is okay! One of the games I signed has a huge run but it's something no one would have ever thought we'd pull off. So I have faith that Vita will last at least until the end of this year, optimistically until next year, but statistic wise it's not looking good which saddens me.

Thread: Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
Woof, my personal Twitter is not news. Might lock it soon if this keeps up... I was more referring to there being a crap ton of releases from us, AAA and rivals. Definitely, acknowledge that we are mostly to blame, but even I'm broke keeping up with normal releases like DBZF, MHW, SotC, Dissidia Nt, etc... Regarding Friday's sale, it was actually a success for us. We've already started conditioning ourselves to not sell out instantly since that probably will be the case on Switch with the amount we are printing. I can say for sure though that Vita sales are definitely going down though. Even with bigger titles. We have some huge ones coming out and a few localizations coming but Vita is definitely a shrinking market. I keep getting messages from previous Vita fans saying they are going to buy our Switch stuff instead, going forward. I've even seen journalists who claimed to be Vita diehards switch to the Switch. We are going to keep pushing it as long as we can but we can see why others have dropped it. =(

I didn't miss your point, I'm sorry you feel that way. We are no longer doing developer editions or collector edition variants. We've been told having a variant is okay by the majority of our fans as long as it's reversible. We will still have show variants because it helps pay for the booth and travel. We don't like selling things when they aren't in hand, sometimes the dates we list are actually way overestimated. We rather tell you something is farther off and ship it to you quicker than the other way around. With as many games as we have signed, we have to keep the dates we promised developers. We can't predict how long something takes to manufacture as the time it takes seems to constantly change now versus when we first started. We have promised to make 2018 much better in terms of communication. We acknowledge that it was spread everywhere. The main sources are going to be the website, mailing list, twitter, facebook and our forum. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience and losing you as a customer.

Thread: Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
Just going to clear it up one more time. We signed a lot of games back in the day because we never imagined we'd hit a point where everyone wanted their game to come out at the same time. That coupled with the ESRB delaying a lot of releases caused us to get into this mess. It is 100% our fault for not having a backup plan or realizing this was going to happen. Some games got canceled, some were too far along to cancel, some already paid for ESRB ratings, etc. We think Mecho Tales is a great game. We understand why people are upset, we've taken that to heart and won't be doing any more "developer" editions. When we say we "forgot" it's because a developer has typically "disappeared" or is busy at the time. We didn't forget that we signed the game, we only forgot that they would want to come out by a certain time because they've failed to spark any conversation with us after we had to delay it with the ESRB, which can imply to us that they need more time. We never rush our partners into a release. We are developer focused and want this to be painless and stress-free for them. A lot of times we will email a developer steps on what to do and they will start working on them without responding back to us, so we get caught by surprise when they turn out to be ready to go. Sometimes it's 100% our fault and we forget to follow up. We have taken steps to prevent this from happening going forward in 2018. We spent an entire week working on a rough draft for a release schedule for most of the year. We are committed to making next year better for developers and customers. We love our fanbase and are going to make sure we don't lose sight of how we got here in the first place.

We aren't doing developer editions again. We signed this long ago, so long ago we forgot. Discussions happened, ESRB happened, and this was what we could compromise on. 2018 does not represent this release strategy as a whole. This is not going to be repeated. Part of this comes from an added cost that wasn't there when it was signed. There is literally nothing I can say to make anyone understand or happy. So I'm done commenting on this. ='(

Claire is on two platforms so it can make it's money back easier. At a small run of 2,000, it's harder for the developer or us to make any money with the costs of goods plus the ESRB fee. We would essentially be breaking even, and that's not how a business should run.

This is a lesser known game, we didn't want this game to not sell out. It's $29.99 to help combat the low run, ESRB, and make the developer some more money to continue working in the game industry. It might not be ideal for you or some others, but for us helping a developer be able to afford to stay in the industry and continue making art is one of the reasons we got into this business. Most developers live paycheck to paycheck if we print too many copies and they don't sell out that negatively impacts the developer. We are also taking into account last Black Friday when we sold Stealth Inc, it sold very, very slowly. Which is why this is a lower run. We've added extras to make the $29.99 seem worth it, if it's not to you, then I'm sorry. Others seem pretty excited and we are too!

Thread: Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
The game is set at $29.99 for the following reasons: 1. The print size was low enough to where in this case the ESRB fee would have made this release impossible. 2. The game has an awesome manual which added to the costs. 3. The game comes with 5 trading cards. 4. We wanted to help support the developer. We don't plan on adding a fee for the ESRB costs as we said we don't want to do that, but for super small runs, it's required or else no one is making any money at all. To be fair my Twitter is constantly tweeted at by people saying they'd pay more to help fight the ESRB costs. It's only 2,000 copies because we've seen a lot of our sales slow down lately. Could be due to holidays, but regardless we don't imagine this selling out that fast. We also want Joe's game to be a success! It's still in manufacturing because Sony seems to still be behind right now. When we put Nex Machina on sale we had ordered the game over a month ago and still didn't have a ship date yet for example.

The hold order limit was reduced to help prevent larger orders going missing in the mail and human mistakes. Nice comparison using my Doctor appointments against me! ;) We thought we would have most of these games in time for the sale, but production is still a bit slow. We are definitely trying to speed up our shipping speed though, I seriously agree that it fell off the deep end for a bit in terms of speed.

The new limit is $500, but if customer support hasn't contacted you, then your order might not have been a "high risk" order. Also, again some of these games might be here sooner rather than later but it's safer for us to say December.

I mean no auto exposure. But to me this makes no sense. This sounds like you got a bad TV that achieves higher nits by scaling the whole panel. You might be able to disable this in the settings but then it will probably never achieve the brightness necessary for something like the sun.

But movies do the exact same thing. Only difference would be that the exposure is usually shot by shot so it might not be as obvious to you? As long as we are watching content on a TV this will be necessary as the eyes can not adapt to a 2m rectangle in front of you when lets say watching a night scene in a well lit room. Without an exposure change you wouldn't be able to see anything.

Thread: Nier Automata has "fake" HDR on Xbox. Please Devs, don't make this a thing.
I get what you are trying to say but images that are captured with a camera to show the difference HDR makes on a SDR screen make no sense. If anything this just proves that the tonemapper of whatever camera this was shot with is far superior to that of the TV / film (which honestly it almost always is). Most games are already created in a "HDR-Ready" way these days as PBR has become standard practice, but if there arent constant reviews in HDR during production details like light / glow intensity, material response in the highlights, grading, exposure etc. might not look good once you see the whole range. In addition to this the game needs different output curves for SDR and HDR, with the HDR curve never being the simple job everyone expects as there isnt a decent standard and the consumer needs enough control to make the image look good on his horrible 200nits TV. Another showstopper is exposure. While some studios have started to do fixed exposure in HDR I personally think that makes no sense and the exposure should be mastered in HDR and then offset in the SDR tonemapper. Something that obviously cant be done after the fact.

I find a lot of the negativity for this game to be quite disheartening as it is often aimed at a lot of things that I enjoy very much and that have been absent from games for many years (no tutorials / trial and error, sandbox PvP gameplay, focus on atmosphere and world building without xp bars or rewards on every stone you find).

Thread: It's 2018, is The Wire still the best TV show ever made?
As mentioned, it's probably the first seasons scores dragging it down. Season one is still incredibly entertaining, but it's decidedly more uneven than the later seasons. The magical thing about it, though, is the show uses that unevenness as a place to grow from. The unlikable things about the characters from season one are directly brought into the light and addressed as they're growing. The show is built on a foundation of about five characters and takes place over a total course of ten years, and each character by the end is so shockingly different from the one at the beginning, but with a distinct through-line that makes it clear they're still the same person, but defined by the intervening events of the show's four seasons. The thing about HaCF is that it's about computers and such for sure (every season is satisfying to watch as an enthusiast because they touch on various real tech developments from 1984-1994 in pretty accurate ways) but it's less just about computers, it's about the people who are compelled to be part of the next big things, the people who want so desperately to build, to create, to be on that bleeding edge. No single show captures the struggle, suffering, and absolute thrill of what it means to be part of the driving force of the future. Even knowing that somebody will come along to do the next big thing after. And the people you're in the trenches with then can just as easily by your best friends or worst enemies, and this show understands that incredibly well. I don't think any show has handled the concept of time in a storyline so well either. Rarely have I seen a story that handles the feeling of seeing someone who has been both a confidant and tense rival years and years after you both interacted and the storm of conflicted but faded feelings that brings, or the feeling of looking back at who you were ten years before and coming to terms with all you've done and all that's been done to you in that time. Halt And Catch Fire is about trying to stay in the moment, to try to catch the future and hold onto it, about the relationships that are created and destroyed in that process, and about the way that time is both cruel and kind to our relationships and our dreams. Definitely give it a look if you get the chance!

Thread: B the Beginning |OT| #2 Netflix Original Anime from the Creators* of Kill Bill
Just finished Episode 6, taking it at a fairly slow pace in between other things. All in all it's fairly entertaining; the characters are solid, if not remarkable for the most part, though I enjoy Keith Flick's scenes especially (as tired as the cliche he belongs to is), the text overlay they do for his thoughts is a very nice added effect to give the impression of just how much time he spends piecing things together. The biggest I'm not sure about yet is the evil clown villains. With ep. 6 we actually learn who they are in a general sense, but I still have no idea much about their motivations besides doing bad things. I'm hoping we get more from them in the second half of the season. A big highlight is just how good the dub's been. This is one of the best voice casts I've heard in a while. All the main cast feel very well acted. Compared to other shows recently I'd say it's currently a fair bit behind Devilman and great leap ahead of Darling in the Franxx.

As I read and understand it, Charlie's spirit/soul was primed over time by the grandmother to receive Paimon. Whether it was a last minute change of plan after her death or always the plan to get her spirit into a male body (which they said was Paimon's preference) is unclear. But ultimately, Charlie's spirit went into her brothers body when he fell, and they finished the ritual so that the brothers body and Charlie's spirit became host to Paimon's will.

Amazing just how little the new cards are in circulation (I know the reasons why). This whole week of playing well over 100 games I saw 1 Magic Archer, 1 Royal Ghost, and 1 Hunter. No Zappies, no Barbarian Barrel. When such cards do turn up, it is so infrequently I mentally say “oh that’s right, that card exists” every time. On the flip side, seeing Double Prince decks a lot.

It will probably mean one less Hog swing on a Hog / Ice Spirit combo which I think will be a big nerf for those decks. Maybe one less shot from Mortar decks too where Ice Spirit gets heavy use.

Overall, I think these balance changes will help me. Am running Miner, Princess, Musk, Giant, Valk, Minions, Arrows, and Fireball. Pretty old school deck. Hog Rider nerf is a welcome change for me. Plenty of times where the Hog gets just one last swing in before I take it out which I think will be less of an issue now. Goblins damage being reduced will help me overall, especially which me having a Giant as a main tank. And I'll be leveling my Giant to 11 in the next day or so as well, so a double win. Ice Golem often ties up my Valk and/or Minions and the reduced slow effect will help a little. Arrows and Fireball being nerfed against the tower sucks but in the scheme of things I doubt those particular changes will impact my overall strategy and win rate. My main problem deck seems like it will remain Golem beat down variants.

Thread: SensorTower: Pokemon Go has made $1.8 billion, still making $70 million per month
As a Google spinoff company that created the platform on which Pokemon GO sits, they will be doing just fine and I imagine probably have a rev share/royalty of between 30-70% on net revenues. That's a wide range reflective of a lack of insight into how easy it may have been to get TPC/Nintendo across the line, but at the bottom end is what a solid developer should expect for a royalty on a third party funded project anyway and at the top end its closer to a licensing deal which is the model Niantic were pursuing. Any number in that range is going to have left them with a ton of cash. On top of that, they are the publisher of record with Apple and Google, so all of that revenue is going through their bank accounts which will have some residual financial upside which will be quite meaningful at that scale, especially if they are reporting and paying out royalties to TPC on a quarterly basis.

Thread: Wild Wild Country - The most insane documentary I've ever seen
Finished watching this last night after a couple of nights. I didn't find it overly sympathetic to the cult as some suggest, so much as almost everybody involved just having their bad traits come out (though the doco did move past the criminal activity pretty quickly). The Antelope townspeople over-reacted to "change" right out of the gate, lacked any kind of understanding, were very judgemental, and advocating violence. The cult for their part developed a massive persecution complex, exaggerated the nature of every challenge to their efforts e.g. "they are trying to destroy us", and developed egos and power trips which ultimately manifested in attempted murder and mass poisoning. Hard to say whether the cult would have ended up where they did in terms of militarization and criminal activity without them and the townspeople (and the State) feeding back and forth off each other and escalating the situation. I suspect yes, eventually, but it wouldn't have been as fast. Was good at least that all those guns on both sides didn't amount to any deaths. My favourite was the jokey (ex?) mayor of Antelope who approached the whole thing with a sense of amusement. If more people involved had his attitude I think things would have been a lot smoother. I felt kind of sorry for the cult lawyer. He was still drinking the kool aid today. He seemed like he just needed to be hugged more often.

Finally had my dinner at Atelier Crenn in San Francisco on the weekend. 14 courses across 2.5 hours combined with champagne and the "mid range" wine pairing for one (split between myself and my girlfriend). Was heavily seafood based which isn't my thing typically, so a lot of courses didn't hit for me, but great overall experience and some of the dishes were exquisite. Think I'd try somewhere else at a similar price point before I returned for sure. Also, got to Luce and Alexander's Steakhouse while at GDC, both of which I'd been to before, so I was a little spoiled for great dining.

Have just stared watching Chefs Table on Netflix, about 4 or 5 episodes jumping around. Great insight and inspiration around cooking and food innovation if almost completely devoid of practical instruction and tips. In related fine dining news, I also made (and paid for) a reservation at Atelier Crenn, a two Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco for March. Will cap off the end of my week at GDC nicely as well as being the one year anniversary dinner for myself and girlfriend. Might be the highest rated restaurant I have ever been too and quite pricey, but hopefully worth it for the experience and only being in SF a couple of times a year.

I don't know sometimes it feels like throwing at a dart board will deliver as good a prediction as anything. It should, but I'm not 100% certain on how this package will be categorized yet.

I remain one of the most bullish analysts in the industry on Switch, Pokemon and Smash. Leaving them off the top 10 list in a year with games like we have this year isn't downplaying any of them. Especially since we don't have digital in the tracking for Nintendo, Pokemon having two games (which always impacts its rankings) and the Dec 7 release for Smash. All will be very successful for a very long time.

Don't see it happening this year, but would be happy to be wrong. FC5 is open world, multiplatform, has more content drops coming and Ubisoft are masters of timing promotional pricing. I still see GoW making the annual top 10. Guess we shall see. Bundle sales are excluded from the SW charts. People buy bundles for the hardware, not the game. The game in a bundle is more a GWP.

Performance by both SoD2 and GoW was very good, but overall software was down YoY because Injustice 2 launched a year ago to big numbers. The most impactful game of May was probably Fortnite, and that itself has far bigger and more reaching long term potential impact on the industry than either GoW or SoD2 but we don't talk about it because it's f2p and therefore not on the chart.

Thread: NPD May 2018: State of Decay 2 #1 software, PS4 tops hardware charts
Hmmmm... okay let me see if I can try to clear some things up. - Retail physical sales of video games actually grew last year, and I have them forecast to grow in high single-digit % this year. So while there are significant challenges ahead for all of retail, "retail is dying for games which everyone knows about" isn't true, at least not yet. Maybe 5 years from now it's a different story, but the death of games physical media has been greatly exaggerated. It's just that digital growth has been so massive that share is shifting because the pie is getting much bigger. - There is no way of separating a sale for Xbox Play Anywhere content between a purchase on a PC or on an Xbox One. It's the same code, the same unique product identification number, it's the same product. I'm pretty sure that Microsoft has by platform usage stats they track, but in terms of the transnational purchase, there's no way to strip out platform of purchase in the transnational data. If another company wished and/or could do the same, build a shell on another platform which ran the exact same code and product, then those transactions would be treated similarly. - The idea that, in the future, companies would somehow limit the ways in which people could pay for content is, frankly, absurd. Finding more and easier ways for people to spend money is the way this goes. More options, more paths to engage, more opportunities to spend. - The video game market is not zero sum. - Sometimes the gaps between ranked titles can be very small. Sometimes a #1 selling title can sell over a hundred million, sometimes it doesn't break ten million. The relative ranking of a title tells you very little about the actual performance or relative scale between titles. Some misplaced assumptions in some of the arguments being made. Shrug.

Everything matters, to different extents, in regards to how a launch performs. No one thing is THE thing. Quality, marketing, promotion, streaming, box art, pricing, distribution... I mean if math could be done to backwards engineer a sales number it would have been done already. DS:R currently ranks at #21

"They" think it states what the best-selling SKU in the market is, which is quite meaningful, especially for those looking at velocities and optimization. Sure, reorders will be made as stock sells through. I don't get the shipping argument. Labo in the context of a big box retailer isn't more expensive to ship or move than the average product. That seems... oddly specific a complaint.

How many streamers streamed Sea of Thieves or SoD2 because of having it in Game Pass? How many sales did those streamers help generate?

It's not easy to quantify. And Fortnite is certainly an outlier in terms of the impact it is having. Headsets/Headphones are not up 2x without Fortnite, nor is hardware as strong as it is currently. So I think the potential certainly exists for Fortnite to meaningfully move the Switch needle. We'll see with June data, but I'm expecting a significant bump because of Fortnite and the GameStop trade in program.

You caught why I added that line! Yep, even assuming a small digital share... Switch software sales are doing very, very well. I think so. I dunno. It's a weird thing. Won't really know until holiday. Don't know.... I'm curious on this as well. Having a 94 rated game >>> Not having a 94 rated game. The Pro GoW bundle did very well, and PS4 continues to thrive. Is GoW directly causing this? Maybe. But I mean it's really impossible to boil down purchase motivators to one thing like a light switch. Always a combination of factors. For members of the digital leader panel, yep. Only major pubs missing from digital are Bethesda and Nintendo. What do you put there instead? Spangenberg is already playing every day, which is gross. Until Tatis/Urias are ready not much we can do. Wouldn't mind trading Hand and some pieces for a young 3B though.

Heck, I'm not even sure I agree with all my predictions. Yep, video game stuff should be fun. We have Title and Item in the hierarchy. Items are individual product/platform combinations. For example, God of War PS4 Collector's Edition and PS4 God of War base edition are individual Items. Titles roll up the Items that are in the same product family... so all God of War versions roll up to the God of War Title. If it's the same game (outside of potential DLC/MTX) then the Items are rolled up together to a Title level. The Pokemon games are each considered an individual Title, and are therefore tracked separately. There's no perfect way to categorize everything in the games space, and of course it's getting harder to do so over time.

I'm very interested in this too. The data suggest that Fortnite has had a big impact to PS4 and Xbox One hardware in 2018. But not only that, it reads pretty clearly to me that Accessories like Headsets and Game Cards have also been pushed higher this year by Fortnite. Will this carry over to Switch? I think it should, but I won't get any read until mid August due to the database upgrades we're putting into place. And even then June data will be noisy because of the strong trade in promotions at GameStop. Cheers. But really, after sitting in front of some of the execs I've had to in order to advocate for a forecast or show what happened with a title's performance? Like I said, I do this for fun.

It's a massive achievement. Just don't think Smash has the time in market to get there, particularly without digital counted for the chart. I'm a huge believer in it though, should do very well.

Round 2: I do this for fun too. At 6AM. Shrug. It is. I've been looking for something, anything, to disagree with you on for over a year now. Today is not the day I'll find that thing. Yep, I'll do another prediction results post then. Well, I mean, I also create models and do lots of math. =/ I still think Labo is an idea with huge potential. But my assumptions in regards to the marketing and promotional push did not meet market realities, at least not yet. I'm wait and see at this point. Makes sense. And none of the margins this year have been particularly large, with the exception of God of War month. It's super tight with all 3 platforms doing well. Cross ownership rates are high too, which suggests to me that each box is becoming differentiated enough that they're far less directly competitive than in previous generations. It sure is. Well ahead of my early year predictions, with a fantastic slate ahead. PS4 is having an exceptional year, will continue to do so. It's more a hobby than a business. I'm an analyst, been doing forecasts and predictions for over a decade now. I just used to do them for my publisher employers, now I do it in the big wide world. If all I did were the monthly summaries and the media release around results the gig wouldn't be all that fun. Yep, made this list in accordance to current reporting rules. If those rules change (we add new publishers to the panel, for example) I'd update the list. I have projections baked for the missing digital data, but went with the straight reporting rules for this list.

Alright, let's do this. First off, thanks for everyone's comments and thoughts. I appreciate the feedback, especially those that challenge assumptions and force me to think through things differently. Thanks! Second, a prediction is not a forecast is not a prophecy. A forecast is a calculated result of a series of assumptions. And the forecast is only as good as the assumptions, which are almost always not reflected in reality. And a prediction is a specific subset of forecast that has even more assumptions, of even higher potential error. I know I'll get at least some of the predictions wrong, because my set of assumptions will end up not working out as I anticipate. Such is life. I'll start with these, and then I'll go back to find a few more that are interesting. It's real good. Life's too short to drink bad coffee. Grind your own beans. And while I use a drip on the daily, a french press is tough to beat. Nah, but if I did it would be one of those new paper straws. Plastic gotta go. Primarily I go with decay rate. Games generally sell fewer copies over time, with the exceptions of seasonality and big price discounting. However, when you look at a franchise or genre or even super genre, it's pretty easy to come up with averages of what that decay rate looks like. If a game decays at a slower rate than one would normally expect for that franchise or genre, that shows good legs. Potentially. But God of War is currently sitting at 94 meta and released in a great window. If that game were at 84 and launched mid-November, we wouldn't be seeing the performance we are. So God of War is, imo, an unfair bar to set for Marvel's Spider-Man. It's exceptionally difficult for a game to have the kind of development success the God of War team achieved. I obviously think Marvel's Spider-Man will have a fantastic 2018. I have it pegged as the best-selling superhero game in more than a decade, and the highest ranking superhero game since the old Spider-Man The Movie games published by Activision back in the day. I don't hide from them, and I'm not worried when a prediction doesn't work out. Just means I made some bad assumptions. Getting a prediction or forecast wrong isn't a problem. It's only a problem if one cannot recognize where they goofed up in making that prediction or forecast. But yes, my early year 2017 forecast did have Xbox One outselling PS4. My assumption was that, with the Xbox One X, a slate of first party titles would launch in support. That didn't happen, so my forecast was wrong. But again, I know why it was wrong. Funny part is I then brought my early year 2018 number for Xbox One significantly lower because I assumed very little 1st party support, and since then Xbox One has been on absolute fire because of State of Decay 2, Sea of Theives, Game Pass and the Backwards Compat efforts, and I'm wrong now the other way. But again, I know where my assumptions were off.

Well, the issue with the top 10 list is that Nintendo is not a member of the Digital Leader Panel, so we don't track any digital point of sale data for Nintendo published products and I'm trying to construct what the yearly top 10 will look like given NPD reporting rules, for better or worse. And yes, each Pokemon Let's Go version is tracked separately.

Yep. It's a meaningless game designed to drum up fan interest in the summer. Not having a player from every team kills that market's interest in the game. No one's going to not watch the game because Blake freaking Snell ain't there. But Toronto as a market would likely not tune in at all if no Jays were present. They should go ham with the fan service. Have an old timers all star game during the week with the softball game and the hr derby... go nuts with it.

The souvenir grinds is the worst thing that's gotten into MLB The Show... perhaps ever? It's all just so blatant and depressing. The fun of The Show is playing baseball, not spending hours flipping between programs trying to read how much an Indians hat is worth in trade and the shop trying to max purchase power. My heart sank when I saw the new career arcs when I should have been super excited, especially with guys like Johnny Bench in the mix.

Personally, I'd like to see progression gated by playing baseball things. Not just games and stats, but maybe some skills challenges in practice mode for these players? Home Run Derby participation, zone hitting challenges, pitch recognition challenges, or perhaps even situation based statistics (get X pinch hits in the 7th inning or later), that kind of thing? I mean, I guess you could just call those things time grinds. I get it. I get that the souvenirs encourage purchasing stubs with real money. Trust me, I get that. But I'd love to see more creative ways to separate me from my money. Buying stubs to do this souvenir grind just feels kinda bad. It's a bummer.

TBF, H2H can be miserable. I'm certainly not opposed to the idea of certain programs highlighting certain modes in the game. One of the things I love most about The Show is that the programs force me to use players I wouldn't normally use. That 2011 Matt Joyce is one of my most used players this year, something I never would have done without the program structure. I've never touched the practice mode. If there was a program that made me go to that and do stuff I'd probably learn to be a better player, heh.

There's something... I dunno just a bit wrong about The Show giving you the Impact Veteran version of players like Ruth, Doby and Torre to start with. I imagine for a lot of The Show players this will be their introduction to players like Doby. And to imagine that people will start with the end of career, mangled knees, bronze rated version of these players that were MVPs and some of the best players of their eras is a real bummer. Well on my way to a bunch. Basically unlocked all the players that require a couple souvenirs and exchanges. Now, just have to play the game, and somehow find a way for Chris Carter to have an RBI and a walk in the same game. Which may never happen. $100. Selling dupes of diamonds/golds to fund the other purchases. I'll put 300+ hours into this thing (almost hit 400 last year) so it's good value for me. Shrug.

Sure. They likely had an even better chance of bringing in a good return last year and didn't. I don't see the contract or another year on the arm helping Hand's value. Guess we'll have to see who gets desperate, or perhaps the Pads actually think they're getting close or are trying to justify the Myers and Hosmer contracts by trying to force a window? Who knows.

Been reading this book where the author interviews old ballplayers. One laments how soft today’s players are, how much technology has hurt the game, complaining about how everyone swinging for the fences is awful and how kids dont even like baseball anymore. This particular interview is with Sam Crawford, who played for Detroit in the 1910’s in an interview done in like the 60s. Book’s called The Glory of Their Times. Good stuff.

Franchy Cordero is not a good outfielder. Cost Tyson Ross his no-hitter. Today, he was slow to react to the ball and then didn't even dive for it when he had the chance to make a play. At least they didn't go total Padres with it, but dammit the franchise has never had a no-hitter and TWO really good chances this year blown by the same bad outfielder. Still a fun player to watch, has big upside, but someone help that guy learn how to play the outfield!

They have perhaps the best player to ever play the game, all-stars everywhere, Ohtani, etc etc. They could be hurt by injuries and fall out of the race but complaining about a team being ‘mediocre’ with that roster and that payroll and that team’s willingness to spend is laughable. Let’s get real here. I mean, some of y’all sound like Jays fans a couple years ago complaining all the time when they had one of the best teams in baseball. Of course most of them don’t post anymore becaue the Jays are terrible but still... 16-10, 4th best record in the AL and people talking about mediocre just because they’re getting knocked around a bit for a game lololol

You don’t want your pitcher of catcher fielding a pop up in that area. Hosmer is a gold glove fielder and supposedly the captain of the team and that ball is his. The fact no one called for it and no one took charge is on all of them, but Hosmer is supposed to be the leader of the team and he should have at least communicated he couldn’t get there or see it. Just a disastrous play and there’s really enough blame to give to everyone, but Hosmer should have made that catch.

Hi. The advisory for June 2018 sales data will release on Tuesday, August 7th. We are undergoing a data migration to a new "Combined Global DecisionKey Dataset" which sounds neat when said but where the acronym leaves much to be desired. The media advisory will continue to focus on the US market.

High visibility exclusives have greatest impact at launch, pricing has greatest impact at tail. But both are always meaningful, the extent of that meaning varying a bit month to month depending on what new titles are released and what price promotion occurs. Other factors like seasonality and cross-plat releases come into play too, as well as lots of other things. People always want to simplify into their being just ONE thing that matters, which is nonsense. Everything counts. Well, almost everything.

So my Super Nintendo went kablooey a while back and have been looking for a replacement unit (I have a nice little CRT tucked away in a cupboard) but I really am tempted by this thing as I have a whole bunch of my carts from when I was a young man still laying around. I'm having a real moment here of whether or not to get another SNES or buy one of these things... the wrinkle I'm having trouble with presently is that I have a Retropie so I'd be kinda doubling up on a HD ready setup.

Import gaming was like witchcraft... you could do it by shaving some plastic off your Megadrive case. When they started region locking it got more difficult (and expensive). SNES needed a dedicated import machine to do so was even crazier... never forget playing Mario Kart at 60hz for the first time... couldn't go back after that.

Does anyone know of a surefire way to disable shaders? I tried overriding everything with by going to the retropie config from the menu but nothing seemed to stick. Best I managed was to enable stock.glsl with zero passes but something still feels off like input delay. Googling has not been super helpful...

Has anyone had any luck getting a Madcatz SFIV TE stick working? It's recognized (shows me that it's connected and what the hardware IS) but stalls halfway through configuration, I can't get it to not assign buttons to a function - the bit where you hold any button to not assign a button to a function? Turbo is not active. Very odd. Google is not being particularly helpful as everything I can find is related to before support was added.

I'm sat on like 10k right now after levelling and equipping dudes. Deadpool is sat levelled at around 30 because I can't afford to bring him up to viable levels. Same with Thor. Basically any good B-team guys are sat there waiting for a cash windfall so I can level them into a decent secondary team. It doesn't help that I'm levelling faster than I can keep up with - I'm level 56 (or thereabouts) and my highest level guys are 54 :/

Thread: ParentERA |OT| What To Expect When You’re Not Sleeping
Took a 300+ mile journey last week. We stopped in a town mid-way for a picnic and they had a great play area for the kids to run around in and punch themselves out. We also had the iPad for the eldest so he could watch a movie. It worked pretty okay. Planning is everything!!! We looked into where we could stop, made sure we had the right movies downloaded and made sure the timings were right ahead of time. The youngest napped on both legs of the journey - we started a little before his first naptime. The eldest napped after the park so it was quite an ok journey. Alas I don't have any advice for the escapist, we had a few instances of that but he understood quite quickly the dangers and knocked it off (also the iPad helped immensely with this :D ).

First kid was kinda tricky, she had one in mind which was a no-go for certain reasons, we compromised and later I realised that it had the similar issues to the first but by then was too late. The second one was a finger in the air moment and we both loved it. Everyone else is kinda "WTF?" about it but we love it, and it suits him wonderfully. Real explanations require a specificity that I probably shouldn't share, I guess? I dunno, nobody else is so... XD

Our first was a terrible sleeper. Suffered from colic so it was rough for a long time until he could roll over onto his front. He still wasn't great at it until he was in his own room and then the trouble was getting him off to sleep. He's been a champion sleeper for a good 18 months now and even gets up at a reasonable hour thanks to a Gro Clock (seriously, it has been such a help!). Our second has been great at sleeping for the most part but he's starting to teethe so the troubles are coming back but we at least know what we're doing this time. I'm still tired, tho! XD

Yeah, it's a neat mode... on paper. The waiting is pretty awful and I don't think the map particularly suits it either. As for the challenge, it's get a kill as Iden and the Senate, they don't have to be together. I got the challenge after doing like 10 games of it. I couldn't get a kill as the Senate to save my life... very frustrating. Iden I knocked out in about 20 seconds XD The real kicker was the kills with Luke and Rey on the field... thing is so patchy about tracking it and Luke still needs a buff to his saber combat, his glowy stick is quite ineffective compared to Rey and Yoda.

At least one new map in a new location. No indication on what mode that will be for. I'm hoping we at least get some new Han Solo skins (their website already has pictures of A New Hope Han so that has to be coming...) and maybe Qira as a new Hero? I guess if they're doing that they'd also need to do a villain for balance? Not sure who from that movie would be up for it... maybe Paul Bettany's character?

Dude, before he got his nerf a patch or two ago I could carry an entire team of lunatics with Chewie. It was almost easy. He's still a total beast with the right cards, but you have to actually work for it now. The easy mode beast is now Bossk. You don't even have to try, it's utterly ridiculous.

Yeah, you get a whole... two. Interestingly they're holding a 'Coffee Machine' chat on their forums presently about how they've handled crafting parts. From the sounds of it there's a lot of them still out there and they're bouncing around ideas on how to deal with that such as converting them to credits among other things. A recurring point is that how adding points doesn't level your ships/troopers, greatly diminishing their value (I completely agree with this point) and how this wasn't communicated as clearly as it could have been. So there seems to be some possibility, moving forward, that further changes are coming down the pipe. The fact they don't level your character is so ruddy silly, you're effectively capped from spending them in various ways meaning you have to grind the levels out anyway - making it kind of moot unless you really simply must have a very slight boost in 'progress'. I should have read the fine print more closely :/

Lando feels super underrated in HvV, I went on an absolutely ridiculous tear with him last night. I don't think I lost a 1v1 with a saber hero the whole match and my cards are pretty garbage on him. On another note - is this the update where my parts get converted to points? I'm gonna have like 30 points to dump into guys and I am super itching to get on that shit.

Mostly, yes. It's a bit uneven at the moment (at least if feels that way coming out of the old one) but once they pony up all the points you're owed from the crafting parts you may or may not still have you should be able to boost up your guys who are sitting a little lower on the ladder. I played a few games last night and it seems I got thrown into pro city, everyone was super high level! I retreated into some really even games of heroes versus villains which were super fun. Iden is actually a really solid character now, which is nice!

What a shame :( I checked in quickly after the patch but have been going to Monster Hunter for my fix lately and haven't touched it since. I mean there has to be a Solo season, and that's out in like 10 or so weeks? I wonder if we'll get the rumoured Clone Wars season between then? Have DICE said anything in the meantime to give us any hope?

I feel like Lando is actually still one of the better blaster heroes in HvV - you have good snipe potential, his stun/scan thing is great and the smokescreen when you're not the target is pretty invaluable, doubly so now saber heroes can't do their closing attacks on you. HE IS NO CHEWBACCA THO.

Not anywhere near as far reaching as I would have hoped on those changes. Guess I'll have to see how it shakes out - villains outside of Maul still feel like they need a massive buff to bring them in-line with heroes, though. Chewbacca is a fucking beast.

No, he's definitely not OP - but he is slippery as all hell but super susceptible to half decent blaster heroes which the Heroes have in spades. Phasma, Bossk and Fett are nowhere near the levels of Finn, Solo, Leia, Lando and Chewbacca and it kinda sucks. Villains need Dengar more than ever :( This is also super disappointing. Villain ships are also lightyears behind Heroes. I like that Versio is Poe-lite but they're still way down - they don't even really have a tank like the Falcon (x2!!!) - I know Fett is supposed to fill that hole but, as anyone who flies that bucket will tell you, that's not the case at all.

The point is that you have to be super on point with those units to score the kill against a Wookiee whereas the Wookiee has to put in a fraction of the effort to retaliate successfully. Hell, I think most of us here have experience of taking down Wookiee's with good ability use and aim but that's simply not possible when stuck in chokepoints where one or two Wookiee's can hold off a whole team seemingly indefinitely.

The HvV challenges were nice if only to see that mode populated with ACTIVE players. Got the challenge in 5-6 rounds. Was absolutely wrecking fools with Chewbacca and Maul. Overall, though, the sides don't seem particularly balanced. Villain blaster heroes are nowhere near as good, on the whole, as the Heroes. Had a Kamino match where the Heroes went full blasters and just absolutely melted us without even breaking a sweat. Hopefully that will improve when rolling gets its day under the nerf bat. Real tired of maverick team-mates not regrouping and just trying to go ham on 4 guys at once and losing us the game, though. A post kill reset would really help bring some additional balance to it... or even an on-screen message saying "REGROUP!" might wake some folk up. Yeesh XD

The wall of silence is probably the biggest factor in fostering such a negative attitude presently. I'm still really enjoying my time with it but even I'm succumbing to a bit of negativity due to the uncertainty of the state of the game - there are some definite balance changes needed as well as some anxiety regarding what's coming next. Where is my Obi Wan? T_T With that said, the only multiplayer challenge I have left is the kill 500 dudes with hero characters. GA is so unpredictable in terms of being able to get and then roll with heroes and HvV is a complete crapshoot when rolling solo. Finn is absolutely disgusting in that mode XD

Pretty much every HvV match I go into on PS4 has farmers in. Usually only two, and usually only on my team but last night there was one on the opposing team. I just quit out, not worth the headache. I've written the mode off until it gets fixed, which is a shame - every mode in this game feels like a potential winner (yes, even GA is fun, even when losing!) so writing the one mode off where you can actually be playing the fun characters is a pretty huge blow. I haven't unlocked a Hero character in forever because in the other modes I prefer to spend my points on stuff that can contribute earlier rather than at the end :(

I love the Officer class so much. Super fun sniping snipers with a pistol - I currently only have the second pistol and a single upgrade unlocked which changed it from a "this gun is terrible" to: 3 hit kills on pretty much everything other than a shielded Heavy, Wookiees and Heroes.. Star Fighter Assault is sublime but could do with some buffs to Imperial and Droid ships - First Order Interceptors are pretty beastly with the turrets so that feels fine. I wish the GA maps weren't so "pick up this thing and shoot that thing" and a little more unique on a per-map basis but it's fun regardless. I really hope that in the future we can get more Scarif/Death Star styled game modes that munge everything together into a nice, if disjointed, whole.

Thread: Solo: A Star Wars Story |OT| Ron Shot Last [SPOILERS]
I really enjoyed the shit out of this movie. I thought Alden Ehrenreich was fucking great. Emilia Clarke was great. Donald Glover was REALLY great. Paul Bettany was great. Woody was perfect. The story was cool, just the kind of Star Wars story I've wanted to see on the big screen since reading the Marvel Comics back in the 80's without lightsabers or any mention of the force at all. The Maul thing at the end was the only "Eh?" part. Not because he was back or the VO but because it felt very much like Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man, except it had the opposite effect on me and I rolled my eyes a bit. Doubly so when he fired up his lightsaber... can we not have one fucking movie without one? Anyways - would love to see a sequel. I wholeheartedly bought into the entire thing. Was also super surprised that Han shot first... that was cool and made me laugh. A lot. Really enjoyed it.

More linear and structured please... The fully open world balance is a really hard thing to get right and often ends up feeling too empty for me. I guess the Zelda games are a good example; I really didn't care for BotW because of how wide open and barren it seemed. I prefer having my games designed with a solid, natural flow of progression and narrative in mind... Doing it that way most likely saves a lot of dev time as well.

A real masterpiece and a beautiful experience, one of the strongest examples of games as an artform I've yet seen. This was my GOTY for 2016 by a huge margin, and will stand as one of my all-time favourites. After such a long wait I can't believe it still managed to exceed my expectations. Totally understand the gripes about the controls, though. They definitely could use some fine-tuning and as a result it's not a game for everyone. A real shame that they got in the way of an otherwise stellar achievement.

Yeah, I knew that and the fact that she had to change her name because I guess Hollywood execs have the mental capacity of 5th grade playground bullies? No big surprise there I guess. That's why it seems so weird she would be fine with her significant other being an absolutely racist douchewad. I mean it may help his brand, but wouldn't it just hurt hers as well? The idea that a POC will turn on their own community as soon as they have a bit of success is one of the more disgusting 'fuck you got mine' aspects of American culture, but it really is not that uncommon.

So you're saying she might be re-branding as 'one of the good ones' now that she has realized we live in a post-racial society and the real racists are the ones calling out racism, which will subsequently make her a symbol for all these alt-right cucks who are racist against everyone except...asian women.

The cynical side of me thinks this might just be a 'Fuck you got mine' moment as she already has a pretty decent profile now and the issues that she used to be willing to fight for probably don't affect her quite as much. I don't really care either way, but considering what she has stood for in the past, it really doesn't make sense. And let's please not give Logal Paul any credit. Wasn't the apology video just about the suicide forest stuff? I don't remember him apologizing for the other dozen or so racist as fuck acts he did while he was in Japan.

Kellogg's just shot themselves in the foot. I don't know how much the rest of you know about snack food social marketing (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is over at Wendy's where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in the snack food biz, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance. What this means is the snack food connoisseurs, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase either flavor combined or otherwise, nor will they purchase any of Kellogg's other products. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Kellogg's has alienated an entire market with this move. Kellogg's, publicly apologize and cancel the entire Pop Tart brand or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Thread: How much national pride do you have?
On a scale of 0 to 100, probably something like a score of 3.5. I used to be a bit more naive in my youth, but even looking back I don't know why. I was born into a single mother home who had to basically work two jobs to barely provide for me, my father was a deadbeat that the government wasn't too concerned about chasing down for child support etc., and as a nation the U.S.A. does its best to keep the poor from having any sort of upward mobility or even just normal quality of life that should be expected. I just count myself lucky that the USA is still better than a large of number of countries, so I was privileged to be born there, among other things. Also, grateful that I ended up living in Florida (was born in Kentucky) which allowed me to go to university basically debt-free without having to join the military or something.

He can't really stop being a world-famous actor, and even if he is being innocuous someone could easily just assume he is using his fame to try and get their attentions and accuse him of creeping etc. But yeah, he's definitely over-thinking things and hopefully not legit projecting shit.

Oh man I spent a lot of my young life living in Southern AL and the Florida panhandle (split between Mobile, Pensacola, and Destin), and this sounds like the worst idea ever. I've actually been to that Oyster Bar called Florabama a couple of times and it's always been a sort of surreal experience. The first time was on a trip with my mom and her friends when I was in middle school. During that trip I witnessed the glorious Mullet Toss event in person. A true cultural monument, I tell ya. I almost got hit by a guy parachuting down onto the beach as well because I wasn't paying attention. Only reason I didn't get ran over by the guy was because some other guy actually tackled me out of the way and saved my ass. I went back with some friends like 10 years later when partying with some friends and it was just as terrible as I remembered.

Generalizing is never a good thing. However, considering gun laws are one aspect where the USA vastly diverges from other sane countries, a decision by a state/city official to allow someone who has shown blatant disregard for gun safety to continue going around locked and loaded ( with a BADGE and off-duty!) is a pretty good example that America has completely lost the damn plot. If you came into this thread expecting everyone to be singing America’s praises then I really don’t know what to tell you.

Thread: Amtrak train derails onto Interstate 5 between Tacoma and Olympia, WA
I'm not afraid of trains or anything haha. I live in Japan and am posting from a subway as we speak. Amtrak has just shown they have kind of poor standards and have shown incidents of negligence in the past. Cars are of course more dangerous when you look at the statistics. However, Amtrak is pretty terrible compared to other leaders in the industry. I don't think Japan has had a fatality from a train accident since like the 70s or something? That's how it should be.

Damn I somehow completely forgot about this one. It actually happened right before I first came to Japan and my relatives were all worried about it so not sure how I forgot. I think the previous statistic I said about there not being fatalities since the 70s was only in regards to the Shinkansen maybe. Or maybe it was just FUD that I read somewhere.

Thread: Amtrak train derails onto Interstate 5 between Tacoma and Olympia, WA
After a quick search it does look like a much less severe derailment happened in 2000 as well, but yeah until those two most of them were between 1940-1965. That's the sort of track record I want to see, and it's doubly impressive when you consider the amount of trains and people they are moving absolutely dwarfs something like Amtrak. I'm pretty sure the train system in Tokyo alone handles more passengers per day than Amtrak does in an entire year!

Thread: Amtrak train derails onto Interstate 5 between Tacoma and Olympia, WA
I don't live in the US anymore, but if I did I would never ever set foot on an Amtrak train again. When I was a kid, I traveled on an Amtrak train with my mother (I can't remember the exact line but someone between Alabama and Tennessee I believe- I was like 7) and about halfway through the trip the entire train jostled for a bit and then came to an abrupt stop. It wasn't bad at all but definitely surprised all the passengers. I decided I was going to run to the front and see if I could find out what happened from the conductor or whatever. Turns out we had plowed completely through a double wide mobile home that had been stuck on the tracks at a crossing. Could have easily been a worse scenario I guess as it ended up just delaying us for several hours as they cleared the tracks, but it shook me even as a kid.

I spent at least one entire summer just trolling everyone else on that board thanks to the fact that Broly was insane in his movies and gave me a ton of ammo for shrugging off everyone else based on power levels alone.

I would agree with you on the bolded if both cases dealt with the same parties and his stance was dependent on the actual constitutional issues. The problem is that on the whole he seems to be okay with giving leeway to corporations, while not giving the same to private citizens. It's so transparent with these people that the content of the cases/issues doesn't actually matter, just who they are going to affect. I mean, you don't even have to take the second example into consideration to consider that. Anyone who wants to nix net neutrality because it infringes on the first amendment rights of corporations are trying to directly trample on the first amendment rights of normal citizens. So yes, just like almost every other Republican under the sun he is a walking contradiction that happens to always lean towards corporate interests.

Thread: BATTLETECH |OT| Kill the meat, save the metal
The RNG has been pretty damn nice to me so far. As is my norm with these types of games (X-Com etc.) I usually savescum a bit in the beginning to at least get a core team and start going full ironman once I am in the swing of things. I went into that dropship destruction story mission with just 1 heavy and 3 mediums and had a tough enough time (2 pilots dead + 1 mech cored) that I decided to reload my save in the last system and grind a bit. One of the first missions I ran into was a 2 and a half skull assassination that was literally just a Stalker and a Spider. I obviously just ignored the Spider and focused on knocking down the Stalker over and over until the meat was dead. I had not expected much salvage and only had 2/8, but the 3rd piece actually fell into my lot as well! Praise Blake! Once I was able to add that tank of a machine into my primary lance, I started rolling over missions with ease which reduced my repair costs a ton. I now have two mechbays full of mostly Assault/Heavies and the game is starting to open up a lot more. I've only lost one pilot so far now that I decided to go all-in on this run. Indiana was a fearless new recruit who had the perfect skillset for my shiny lostech Highlander. And on his 3rd mission he bravely held a narrow pass against 4 heavies while the rest of the lance cleared out a medium lance and and a base. A lucky hit to the head ended his heroic last stand, but not before he took out 2 of them and stripped armor off the rest.

That just comes down to different content. A super serious Yu Yu Hakusho would just be plain bad. It gets a bit dark at times but it never really gets as dark or mature as FMA. So there is never really a need for those performances. I will agree that the performances in FMA are probably better, though I've only heard them in passing as I still prefer the JP voices for a lot of characters. I think what sets YYH apart so much is that it is honestly better than the original JP script, which is fairly flat and boring. They do inject a lot of extra humor and change dialogue lines up compared to the original Japanese, and it all works for the most part.

Yeah, those two are great but I don’t think you can make a case that they are actually better than the original Japanese voices. It just comes down to preference. Both have stellar quality in both JP and EN. I was mostly pointing out that YYH dub is one of the rare cases where I feel like the English version is far better than the original. The original Japanese isn’t terrible, but it’s very forgettable and the writing/dialogue is where it really falls flat. The dub injects a lot of much needed personality into the characters. Even random throwaway characters have some personality.

I have actually been rewatching it and switching between both voice tracks and it’s crazy how often one of the great one liners from Yusuke is literally just a NANI!!?!? in JP.

Recoa in Zeta is the one that really bothers me. How many times does she switch sides? Regarding the newtype stuff, I still think 0083 does it better in a way. 08th is easily one of my favorites but Shiro is still a shonen style “genius” character. He never struggles and is basically good at everything. Kou is a sucker at the start and gets styled on over and over. And even when he does get skills at the end he’s doping himself up to stay in the fight and shit. Always liked how gritty it feels at that point in the story.

It really depends on how much time you want to dedicate to it. I personally think it's better to watch the full series, but it's not a must. The movie trilogy gives you more than enough basis to watch the rest of the UC stuff. I would personally choose one or the other and then move into some of the OVAs that are based in the early UC timeline such as War in the Pocket, 08th MS team, and 0083 Stardust Memory. The recent Origin movies are also highly recommended. From there you will want to move into Zeta and if you are still interested continue on into some of the post-Zeta stuff. Whatever you do, don't watch the Zeta movies though. Unlike the original trilogy, they are nigh unwatchable and the series is the only way to go.

Thread: ERA, are any of you considering leaving the US now?
As with most places, it can vary from school to school. I used to work in public schools here so I saw both good and bad ones. Overall though, there is a very serious lack of teaching independent critical thinking in Japan which personally bothers me. A large majority of teachers revert to rote memorization because the entire system is based on a fairly archaic system of entrance exams that are forced on the kids at an early age. On the whole, both systems have very large failings so it's kind of a 'choose your poison' situation IMO.

Thread: ERA, are any of you considering leaving the US now?
Yeah, I am a bit worried about this as well. My wife mostly uses Japanese in the house, so our kid's English exposure is limited as work keeps me from spending too much time with them outside of the weekends. My wife and I also fall into the habit of speaking to each other in Japanese too often. Need to break that habit... My son can understand my English fairly well at this point, but still doesn't speak it at all outside of simple phrases. Probably going to start putting him in an English program as well in the next year or so just like you decided to. Hopefully it's not too late at that point.

Thread: ERA, are any of you considering leaving the US now?
I started living in Japan about 10 years ago, but was honestly planning to return to live in the States with my family eventually. I hoped to time it for when my eldest son entered middle school, as I think that's the point where most Japanese schools go to shit. After everything in the last 5 years or so, I just decided to apply for Permanent Residency here (fingers crossed!) and am looking to just buy a house in Osaka. I'm not going to put my son and daughter in schools where 'lockdown drills' and such are becoming the norm. Earthquake drills and such are already scary enough, but at least Japan takes such natural disasters seriously, unlike gun violence in the U.S. That's just one thing that bothers me on a long list including but not limited it to: Healthcare costs, Ignorant populace with too much power thanks to outdated electoral college and gerrymandering etc., job stability, and the ever increasing wealth gap. Japan has its fair share of issues, but I feel like the positives outweigh the bad for the most part.

Well, there is the point that he is literally the only person on that school trip that is interested in the science. It's not like they retroactively ret-conned him into being a nerd or something. Also, going organic would have it's own logical shortfall that would have to be made up. Do you give him that are useless and can't actually shoot webs, therefore nixing his most iconic trait (web-slinging)? Or do you just asspull and say that his forearms are transformed into actual organic web that don't actually exist in nature? This argument has always just bothered me because the entire logic of the claim is based on a complete misunderstanding of how spider-webs actually work. If the argument basically boils down to "his powers are biological so he should get organic web shooters as well!" then I want them to point out these organic web that exist in nature. To my knowledge, the only similar feature is in ground spiders which can do shotgun style blasts to catch prey.

You know what I mean. While it is all pseudoscience at best, the idea of him getting the proportionate powers of a spider makes scene mathematically. It’s not that they are actually stronger than humans of course, it’s just how linear size/scaling works. So from our perspective, even every day spiders (and other arachnids and insects)do seem super agile and strong because of their speed and ability to lift way more than their weight. That is where the entire basis for his power set comes from. So, it’s pseudoscience but the creators were drawing from specific spider traits for his power set. I was just pointing out that web shooters are literal fantasy and even the pseudoscience they were using wouldn’t easily explain. Of course they could have just made it up as a new thing. Spiders, for the most part, don’t have anything resembling a web shooter. Peter Parker did not invent mechanical web spinnerets, he invented web shooters. Maybe all the organic web fans hail from Australia. If there is one place on earth where spiders can zip around on their webs through the air like spider-man, it’s fucking Australia. Of course I am probably giving the creators too much credit anyway as I remember in his origin story called spiders insects at least once.

Okay, I am at work and couldn't listen to the audio. This makes a LOT more sense. I was wondering how the physics of it worked and started looking at Wikipedia to no avail. No, they don't. Or most of them don't. Spiders spin webs then slowly manipulate them to build webs. Ground Spiders can do shotgun like blasts of sticky silk to catch prey, but as a trade-off they can't build normal webs which is why they are called ground spiders.

Thread: Organic Webshooters > Mechanical
You aren't 'wrong' in that it's technically possible to apply logic that since his powers are biological then he should be given organic webs. Which would mean he could spin webs, not shoot them. There is a big difference there. Spiders tend to spin webs, and then just let wind and gravity do the work for them when creating webs. Which would basically make web-slinging an impossibility in its current form. I guess he could spin up a web first, then climb up to a building, anchor it, and then swing down. Not quite as exciting, huh? I mean, this entire discussion is an interesting thought experiment, but I worry for anyone who actually thinks a change like this would improve on the character. If some of you had a say in Spidey's creation back in the 60s, you would have probably managed the amazing feat of sabotaging what was to become one of the most iconic and popular characters on the planet.

The irony in this post is palpable. Neither of the explanations are more convoluted than the other. In one you have to suddenly assume that he would develop a biological power that doesn't have an actual counterpart in nature. And in the other you have to assume he is just really smart and can invent things. Both of these are leaps of faith, although I personally see the latter as being more logical since spiders don't actually have web-shooters. They have web spinnerets. If you want to completely fall on logic for this discussion, the only logical choice for a biological web ability would be one that spiders actually have, spinnerets. Also, the only other ability that is tweaked for dramatic effect is the spider-sense. All of his other powers are literally the proportionate abilities of a spider. He doesn't get Superman level super-strength from the bite. He gets the proportionate strength of a spider.

That would probably require him to also invent a time machine. I think the web-shooters were part of his shtick while he was doing the wrestler/talk show stuff before the whole Uncle Ben shit went down. Dan Slott gets a lot of haters out there, but on the whole his run was excellent IMO because he actually tackled a lot of these little issues with the character. One of the themes during the whole Superior Spider-Man arc is how Doc Ock feels like Peter Parker has completely wasted his potential and actually sets out to correct a lot of those mistakes.

Completely different context and message. The web shooter thing is not supposed to just show him as a clever, quick thinking fighter. It's supposed to show that he has the potential for a genius level intellect, but unlike basically every other Marvel super-brain he lacks the resources and situation to really put it to use (until the recent Slott run). The web-shooters are one way to exemplify this trait, because he is creating what is basically a space-age industrial strength material in his spare time during chemistry class.

The thing about painting him as a conman, is you have to think what he would gain from this accusation. The JP games industry (which is obviously his main career) is a very small and connected industry and even if he is 100% correct in these allegations, this might not end very well for him in regards to future jobs and such. Basically, even if he is 100% right in this case he doesn't have that much to gain but has a lot to lose. Just my 2 cents.

Nothing to announce atm! In regards to input lag, I had a friend in the FGC who uses a high speed camera to research this stuff break it down to me once. He said there were a variety of factors that make a certain amount of input lag unavoidable on modern consoles. The biggest factor is obviously the type of monitor and will vary from type to type. That plus a bit of emulation overheard means that most games of this sort will have 4-6 fps of input lag. Some other factors that supposedly add to it are controller processing times (especially wireless) and HDMI switchers etc.

Thread: Audio Era: Because Sound Matters
I'm not a huge audiophile, but I absolutely cannot live without some sort of barebones 5.1 system at least. I convinced my parents to buy a crappy all-in-one Sony system from Best Buy when I was in high school and took that with me to college. The sound quality deteriorated at an astonishing rate, but it was still better than stereo! When I got my first 'real' paycheck about 10 years ago, one of the first things I bought along was a surround sound system. I was still using a 21" monitory and decided to buy a 5.1 system over a new HD TV. I ended up buying a TV from a friend who was moving soon after anyway. That first system I bought was a fairly nice Denon Amp/5.1 combo system that set me back about $450-500 bucks. It actually lasted until very recently, and I am pretty sure one of the capacitors when bad inside the amp or something. It started making a buzzing noise that sounded like really bad ground loop (which ended up not being the issue after eliminating as many factors as I could). I had just gotten a bonus from my company, so the timing was good and I ended up buying a 'used' (bought but never used) Sony HT-SS370 system. It's a bit out-dated now, but was an improvement over my last one by quite a bit, especially in the convenience factor as I used to just have 3 optical ports to run everything through, and the new Amp has HDMI pass-through and such. I need to get a new pair of 5.1 headphones sometime in the near future. I have a pair of the Sony PS4 headphones from years ago, but they were one of the models known for kind of weak build quality and are almost in pieces at this point. They still technically work, but the plastic above the cups is busted so they won't sit right unless I rig them up with some tape or something. They are too far gone to bother though.

I grew up in a poor household with only my mother supporting us, and never had any medical insurance until I enrolled into college and at least got some bare bones coverage at that point.

It's not just about actually stopping the vote. I understand that they are blocked because the fillibuster has been nuked. However, they should at least try their damnedest to sway public opinion against this bullshit. That's what I am talking about. Instead the majority are probably going to roll over and give up without even trying. If they tried to do at least something, even unconventional, to delay or stop this vote then more people would have respect for them. Instead, they are more worried about us being civil to literal nazis.

And I would say that only caring about the consequences brought on by a mass murderer when it 'directly afflicts you' isn't very healthy and shows a lack of empathy for the victims. Kind of ironic considering what you are arguing here. And it's not really about revenge. This man managed to brainwash people into an apocalyptic cult and coerce them into a mass murder plot. The world is better off without him. Like I said, I agree that in cases the way Norway treats its criminals is the way to go. However, let's not even pretend that the situation with Breivek is anywhere close to Shoko Asahara. Breivek was a crazy individual who acted on his own. Asahara is a man who managed to brainwash thousands to his cause and is much more dangerous even behind bars just because of his influence.

Possible? Yeah, I will bite that it might be possible to nullify hundreds of AT-AT blaster bolts, despite the fact that we have never seen force powers work on anything bigger than handheld blasters. However, I just don't feel like it is plausible. You have to make several leaps of faith to get to that point. I really do feel like the entire point is to drive home for the viewer that Ben is completely unhinged, while also forcing you to also hope against hope that he survived (if they didn't already catch the hints he wasn't there.)

Thread: I just Watched The Last Jedi, why was it controversial??
Most of these are not comparable in any way however. Just look at the sheer number of shots being fired. Even force super speed couldn't cope with that many shots. You would need god-tier speed force level time dilation powers to do it. And that's not even going into the fact that (I am not an expert here) normal hand-sized blasters have nowhere near the destructive force of AT-AT blasters. I feel like the AT-AT blaster bolts are going to be a LOT more powerful. The leap in logic that others have managed to stop handheld blaster shots, so Luke should have been able to stop artillery sized blaster bolts is insane. It's like seeing a video of a samurai splitting a BB bullet in half and then just assuming he can also stop howitzer cannons with a sword. While it is not COMPLETELY out of the realm of possibility, there really is no precedent in the main canon for a force user being able to stop such an onslaught. Also, Kylo doesn't believe that Luke could survive the onslaught out of any sort of logic. It comes from a place of fear and insecurity and was meant to showcase that.

That was probably worded badly. Of course you don't need precedent for force powers. If that were the case, he wouldn't have been able to pull off the force illusion. I was just pointing out that all of the precedents he threw out to defend the idea that he could survive don't actually match up as we have never seen anyone stop anything with the destructive force of an AT-AT blast, let alone dozens of them. In that last comment you quoted, I just wanted to make clear that although it may be in the realm of possibility, the argument he is using to push the idea was a bit weak. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter because what we got was far more interesting than anything that others have put forward.

Nah, real talk but Cima is just a knock-off Haman and that would mean cutting out one of the most glorious death scenes in the entire Gundam IP. The entire issue with the Nina/Gato plot is that there are minor plot holes as a result (why doesn't she recognize him from 100m+ away in the hangar etc.) but as a whole it works for the story IMO. 0083 is great because it's not about some reluctant but altruistic hero who is forced to defend his friends and ideals like 90% of Gundam series. Kou is just a petty jackass who wants revenge for being styled upon by Gato. Adding a story beat where his girl is actually longing for some of that Nightmare of Solomon mojo just makes it more personal and interesting. It was handled sloppily though. The recent 0083 manga does a much better job in that regard.

I am generally against capital punishment for normal crimes, especially because there isn't a perfect justice system out there and innocents can just as easily be put on death row. However, this is a monster who carried out a terrorist attack on innocents just going about their daily lives.

If I remember right, right after he was hunted down and arrested for the sarin attack his followers sent a parcel bomb to a politician and ended up blowing off the hand of an office worker. The government has done what they can to snuff the cult out, but I still believe there are a few thousand active followers out there, though they are supposedly monitored very closely. I have a lot of issues with the Japanese justice system and how capital punishment is handled here, but I really do feel like everyone is better off without this mass murderer around to inspire anyone.

I've actually started playing this a bit after my brother got annoyed at some of the recent decisions with Destiny 2 and asked me to join him. I'm still not completely sold on it, but I am having more fun than I did when I first picked it up years ago. The weapons still lack the oomph and wow factor that you get with Destiny IMO, but hopefully I can get more loot to make that better. I ended up dropping some money on platinum and picked up the Mirage bundle + Nova warframe. Mirage seems cool but I really don't understand how to use the toolkit so far. That final disco ball move is pretty useful though. The weapons that came with the bundle are the real highlight. Nova warframe seems a bit underwhelming.

I used my first batch to get Beatrix, who is one of the few characters I didn't manage to pull despite burning a ton of tickets on her. Not sure how to use the other batch of tickets. It would probably make more sense to use the ticket to get a dupe and push Beatrix or another 6 star character to 7 stars, but I would rather go with someone new and just grind for tickets to upgrade them to 7 star later. I was going to pick 2B but I guess collab characters aren't included in the ones you can choose. Makes sense I guess. I am leaning towards Balthier, Sephiroth, or Merc Ramza.

I hate TLJ as much as the next guy, but this is absurd. It's absurd because Disney would never consider it, because they could never possibly raise $600 million and because letting rabid fans do something like this would be a colossal mistake, both story-wise and PR-wise.

Seeing that Motion Matching require a huge amount of motion capture data to work properly, I don't see indie games using the technology at all, even mid-tier games. I think Unity's trying to move toward larger studios, as evidenced by their recent push in rendering technologies and hires.

Obviously, it all depends on the game's scope and you could make it work if you nail it the first time around and the data is good. But if you want to iterate, you'd have to book again and renting a motion capture studio is kinda expensive.

I just noticed that most TVs don't seem to support 1440p natively. Those of you who do a ton of PC gaming on your LG & Samsung sets, what's your experience been like? I'm buying a set primarily for living room PC gaming, and my GTX 1080 definitely won't be pushing 4K60 on everything. I was planning on running 1440p/60 for most things, but that doesn't seem possible with a LG OLED? I haven't been able to find a ton of anecdotal experience with this kind of setup/situation. It looks like the X900F is my best bet if native 1440p/60hz matters?

How does OLED retention compare to plasma? I've had a Panasonic plasma for 10 years with no retention issues whatsoever. Just required the slightest diligence around static images. I figure if I treat the OLED the same way it'll be just fine.

Awesome, good to hear it. I do have a PS4 Pro, and I'll be picking up a UHD bluray player, but most of my gaming is on PC. Very little desktop time for me, too. I currently have all of my inputs going into my receiver, and then just the one HDMI from that going into my TV. No handshake issues on my 1080p set, but like you said, it's probably highly setup dependent.

Pro controller helps immensely! Totally worth the investment. I was kind of in the same boat as you, where certain parts of the game were just too daunting. The nice part about this game is that every single progression-blocking boss can be facetanked or cheesed with the right builds. Soul Master is probably the last “difficult” required boss you have to defeat through actual skill, although certain charms and tactics can make it much easier.

Yes and no. HOTS is probably a wash as far as a profit-making venture goes, especially compared to the Hearthstone/Overwatch cash cows. I'm saying this based on how large their development team is, compared to my (limited) understanding of their metrics. The development overhead required to sustain a content pipeline like theirs is huge, and while I'm sure it's still pulling in respectable revenue, it's unquestionable that their resources would be better spent elsewhere. I personally think any other company would've pulled the plug years ago. In HOTS's case, the loot box formula wasn't about making money, but about utilizing the gambling formula to improve retention and excitement. Also, I don't have access to their metrics, and Blizzard isn't sharing them publicly, but I do have a few friends who are/were on the HOTS team and it's been pretty grim there. EDIT: Made a few edits for clarity.

Sorry, it's really all I can say. I don't doubt that Blizzard could've put out something amazing, but the cards seemed stacked against the HOTS team from the beginning. I'll just say that it's very much an old boys' club and politics rules everything. Yep. Just want to caveat this by saying I'm not a Blizzard employee, just a guy who worked on some MOBAs previously and hears things from friends currently/formerly at Blizzard working on HOTS. I also want to say that I didn't mean to just come in here and crap on the game, I ended up playing it for a year and genuinely enjoyed it, but I'm not optimistic on the talents of their design team.

Yep, I remember LeagueGAF :) Fun times. But yes, that's a pretty good analysis of the skill breakdown in HOTS. MOBA fundamentals will take you very far, and the rest of it is basically mechanical optimization. I think this makes for a much lower skill ceiling, because the game is missing a lot of the macro decisionmaking you'd find in LOL or Dota. For example, positioning is still important, but trivialized by mounts and smaller maps. Sorry, I don't want to dwell too much on the financial aspect because (1) I can't bring up any data to show you, and (2) everything I'm saying is surmised from their development trajectory and hearsay from Blizz employees that I know. However, I do think we should consider how Blizzard would handle a failure. Would they close up shop, or try to turn it around? My expectation from a branding perspective is that they're more likely to attempt a repair than to call it quits, and that's what I think is happening. The same thing is happening with Starcraft 2, where they're taking a flagging game and basically trying to reinvent it. You have to understand that from a business perspective, you don't just dramatically change your business model (SC2 going F2P, HOTS going to loot boxes) if everything is swell. The potential for disaster is huge, which is why I think they were already prepared for disaster, and hoping for a turnaround. I can't remember if I was told this particular piece of information during a job interview (which would be NDA'd) or during a conversation with a friend (which wouldn't). So, staying on the safe side :)

Overall design, with gameplay systems being the biggest culprit, and UX being their biggest strength. So, things like mounts, talents, objectives, leveling, comeback mechanisms, etc. Everything is basically funneled towards a goal of compressing and flattening the experience. Case-in-point: what's the biggest difference between gameplay at level 10 vs level 20? The death timer is dramatically longer. To increase the stakes, they depend on removing you from the experience. While death timer is a big deal for other games, it scales much harder in HOTS because things like territory control, map positioning, and vision are trivialized.

Ironically, the League engine is the oldest of all major MOBAs, and Riot has spent the past several years trying to improve it piece-by-piece. I wouldn't consider the engine to be HOTS' biggest impediment though. I'd say it's their design team and their lack of understanding for what makes MOBAs interesting, leading to some of the highest churn in the genre.

Thread: Heroes of the Storm |OT| Ded Gaem Outlives Forum
Churn refers to players quitting the game, and it's a metric that developers look at to determine player retention. By design, HOTS is a flatter experience than other MOBAs, meaning there's lower highs and higher lows. The overall skill ceiling is also considerably lower. This leads to HotS players hitting their personal skill ceiling much faster than in other MOBAs, as there aren't enough auxiliary systems in place for them to grow. This is why HOTS 2.0 was focused entirely on retention mechanisms--it was a desperate attempt to improve their retention and reduce churn. It did not work as well as they'd hoped, because their designers don't understand that retention mechanisms don't make up for a low skill ceiling.

League of Legends doesn't have voice chat or clans, has less onboarding, less retention features, and a more aggressive monetization, yet it has much less churn and much higher retention. HOTS' in-match UI is quite good and actually removes the necessity of voice chat. When HOTS was released, I considered it to have the best-in-class UI, and I actually used it as inspiration while working on UX for LOL. And no, I'm not equating grinding with low skill ceiling. Being skillful in HOTS is a very different, less involved affair compared to other MOBAs. It focuses primarily on mechanical execution, much less on macro-decision making.

I mute everyone on multiplayer games now, and use a different set of usernames. So yeah, lesson learned. This is why people with public-facing jobs maintain professional accounts separately from their private F&F accounts that they do stupid shit on. Saying and doing stupid shit while still representing matters of the company (e.g. talking about your job) on your public account absolutely should result in consequences. Being off the clock doesn't absolve that. These firings aren't some earth-shattering precedent in the industry. The industry has always been like this.

It works for the 90% of the devs who choose not to engage with players on a professional basis. Larger developers have strict social media policies that forbid official discourse with players they know Joe and Jane Dev can't handle their shit without social media training. Even with mandatory social media training, e.g. at Riot Games, people are still fucking up constantly, . If you know you're the type to lash out and take criticism poorly, why engage at all?

Absurd that this is being twisted into some GamerGate anti-women nonsense. They may have played a part, but don't give them the credit. It's standard business to severely employees who disparage the company's image either directly or indirectly. The "straw that broke the camel's back" in these situations usually is the trigger that gets the employee fired; there's usually some amount of stuff going on in the background the public doesn't know about. I know of one prominent Blizzard employee who was let go because of a snarky forum post he made. I myself was reprimanded and asked to give a public apology when I called a teammate "worthless" in a match of LOL. Plenty of other examples I've encountered.

You're right. You shouldn't be praised for poor work. However, I think ERA is trying to be a safer place for developers to partake than the old place, where banning people like Dennis Dyack was considered a badge of honor. It's not constructive to call for someone to be fired, even if it was an exaggeration, because it makes the community seem hostile.

Warframe is a fully-realized F2P GaaS, which means their development is highly dependent on running a good live operation. They're respondent to data and player needs because their business model is dependent on it. Destiny, on the other hand, is still a traditional boxed product. I'd imagine that the most important metric for them is units sold, and they're kicking ass there. It's not until they get DLC attach rates to compare to D1 that they'll start thinking hard--or at least, that was likely the plan before the media blowup. Chalk it up to a difference in developmental methodology.

If the goal is to make players switch weapons, then the design needs to justify that. In D2, if you have two equally strong primaries, then the energy weapon is always going to be more useful. In PVE, it takes down shields. In PVP, it deals bonus to supers. There's no justification to switch in the middle of a PVE battle against a shielded enemy because you can generally kill the enemy faster than you can switch your weapon. This leaves the only real reason to switch in PVE to be "I ran out of ammo". In PVP, it's just "I need to cover a different distance".

This is only for PVE, and it doesn't make an appreciable difference outside of DPSing bosses. The game is balanced in such a way that it's always going to take X hits from low ROF weapons to kill something. Meanwhile, in PVP, energy weapons are strictly superior as they deal 10% additional damage to roaming supers. Yet another important aspect of balance that Bungie NEVER communicates anywhere in the game, and doesn't even make sense, considering Guardians also have shields. It's really pathetic that basic mechanics like these have to either be datamined or discovered through extensive testing. It's more balanced in that it makes every player well-rounded. This means that players cannot specialize into roles, however, and removes their weaknesses. Every player is equipped at every range now, which leads to homogeny.

I'm not making excuses for the community being "toxic". Bungie has always had the opportunity to engage with the constructive members of the community. That side of the community has always been open. I've seen good and bad community management, and this definitely falls on the bad side. There's a lack of transparency, trust, and good faith engagement on both sides, but it's up to the developer to "be the bigger person", because it's up to them to maintain their playerbase, not the other way around. The community should never be held to a standard; it's up to the developers to shape their own community. That's always been the case. Anyway, I don't want to flood this thread with too much negativity or derail it any further. I can PM you some firsthand examples of how developers I've worked for have handled similar situations if you're interested. Personally, I'm still enjoying the game a lot and playing every day, but nearly all of my friends quit just 3 or 4 weeks after starting.

They also never tell you about Heroic triggers for public events, even though anyone can look it up online.

I've been on both ends of the stick, and getting chewed out by players does suck. But from a PR and community side, there are easy ways to address that--the least of which would be to acknowledge that players are being heard, or that changes are coming. Bungie could've chosen to control the narrative, but they opted for silence instead, and let the community assume the worst and fester. As a result, sentiment has been in a long decline. Players have been posting their grievances for months to no acknowledgement. Hotfixes and patches go by that don't address even the most basic issues. So now we're at where we're at, and it's definitely not the community's fault.

Wanted to speak to some of these points individually, because they don't line up to my experience in the industry. From a branding perspective, they are absolutely a singular entity. I'd argue that of AAA developers, there might not be any company more singular than Bungie. They don't try to publicize rockstars, their player-facing communications are diegetic, and it seems only a few employees are authorized to speak to the public, and only after marketing has filtered the messaging. I can't blame a particular designer even if I wanted to, because they have no visibility. Kind of referred to this before, but I doubt most of them are allowed to speak to the public. Obviously this should never be done. But the majority of criticisms I'm seeing on places like Reddit are legitimate. And we're only at this stage because of the lack of communication for months.

The other day, I went to the Well of Flame on Nessus just for kicks. It's an absolutely beautiful area that the campaign doesn't take you to, but there were no other players there. And why would they go? It's barren. Just look at Ubisoft's open world sandboxes--you enter a new area and your minimap is unshrouded, new activities pop up, you get XP, a new fast travel point opens, etc. What do you get in Destiny? Absolutely nothing. The goal of a progression system isn't just to increase the lifespan of a game, but to incentivize players into doing what the developers believe will be beneficial to their experience.

Again, you're getting the completely wrong takeaway. I wasn't saying to drown the player with activities. I was saying to use the progression system to incentivize behaviors like exploring. For example, there's a lot of scannable objects in Destiny 2. Having a centralized list to track which objects you've scanned would be an example of this. Destiny 2 has nothing of the sort.

Thanks for the clarification . As far as I can tell, damage output and total health is based entirely on your current Power level.

I'd stay away from store-bought preworkouts supps. There's a lot of junk in "proprietary mixes" when the main active ingredient is caffeine, and a lot of supplement companies put illegal/unlabeled substances in their mixes. The FDA actually has a list here (), and you can see, there's a lot of stuff that shouldn't be abused hiding in your supps. You can get better results running your own ECA (Ephedrine-Caffine-Aspirin) stack at a much lower price, with no surprises. That said, if your body is able to handle it, and you're lifting for aesthetics, there's not much downside to having some caffeine prior to a workout, since the base metabolic rate increase helps with burning fat.

Does anyone else get GSync kicking in when using non-gaming applications? When I use Unity Editor, it kicks in and my screen flickers a bit. Same with Sourcetree. My GSync is currently set to work on windowed applications, which might be an issue, but I really don't want to give up alt-tabbing seamlessly.

Ubi's depiction of Montana is gorgeous for sure. I'm finding that I don't have any "WOW" moments, outside of the game just being a technical and artistic marvel in general. Coming out of AC: Origins' vast desert landscapes, I feel a bit underwhelmed. The map actually feels small to me, although I wonder if I'm just spoiled by how huge Origins and GR: Wildlands are. But then again, after cruising around 2/3rds of the map, I can't help but feel everything feels a bit samey.

Money is quite easy to come by if you get the perks that double your hunting rewards and increase backpack size, and just go hunting for a while. The bigger problem is that there's nothing worthwhile to buy after you max out your starter weapons, because they're already the best weapons you can get. After finishing the southern area, I'm hard-pressed to continue playing. The story isn't particularly interesting, and I don't enjoy the locale as much as FC4's Kyrat. The skill and weapon progression is nonexistent, and I don't feel any more powerful than I did when I started the game. Combat is a pushover if you go the stealthy route, and even more of a pushover if you just use Boomer and Jess. The fishing was kind of neat for a bit, until I got the mission rod and suddenly it's a pushover too. I'm looking at the other mission rewards and asking myself why I would care to earn a certain vehicle when they're all the same, and I can just wingsuit or helicopter my way to wherever I want to go. When I started playing it blew my mind how anyone could give this game a 65/100 but now I'm wondering if that was too high. I stopped playing AC: Origins when this game launched, but I'm really excited to just jump back into Egypt.

Hey :) Yeah, if you recall you can eventually reach levels 2, 4 and some later ones right from region one, so they are all connected in a way. It blew my mind the first time when I realized that one of the other entrances was right above the place where you start the game. And since you earn new abilities in each region to access others, it fits the genre nicely.

Congrats, this is easily one of my most anticipated titles, so glad you were able to see it through to the end! Myself, I'm FINALLY releasing a second game! Never Stop Sneakin' will launch on the Switch on Dec 14th (North America, Europe will follow some time later). Coincidentally, it took me 46 months to create Dust:AET, and 23 months to create NSS. Half the time. I wish I could say that trend would continue with my third game, but I highly doubt it. This has been a very interesting, experimental game for me, and I accomplished a lot of personal goals. Hope you all enjoy it!

I've actually been working on a couple different projects, NSS just happened to be the one closest to completion (by a WIDE margin). I also wanted to have a relatively quick turnaround between announce and launch, mainly because I knew my announcing anything not named "Dust 2" would be contentious. I figured it'd be easier for some of my fans, rather than announce NSS two years ago and have them waiting on that. The reason I fast-tracked NSS was because I really wanted to create something completely different than my first game. Granted, once again I misjudged how long it would take, but I'm really happy with the result. That said, I'm also excited for the other stuff I'm working on, and next time I don't plan on playing things so close to the vest.

Hey Orioto, I feel you. You know, I also came at this as an artist, it's the main reason I picked up programming. I did go through a couple failed attempts trying to work with others, which is why I just went solo and have been doing pretty well ever since. Have you considered picking up the tools yourself? They've never been simpler, and you'd make a pretty dangerous combo doing art, design, and programming.

Maybe this doesn't come across in the English, but the subtext here (as I understand it) is that Haruka doesn't become a idol because she wants to. She's doing it because Kiryu is pushing for it because he believes it's the way to ensure she has a successful life. It's clear she doesn't really want to in Y2, but Kiryu gets it in his head that this is the thing for her, and this mindset carries forward to Y5. She's just trying to make Dad happy and emulate the infinite gumption she sees in her father, but realizes the price is too high.

Definitely for me too. I can't listen to the ending theme without tearing up. It's not so much out of sadness, more about the magnitude and completion of such an epic story. One of the most influential and best-loved games of mine. The soundtrack is incredible. The ending theme always makes me cry, for similar reasons to the Xenogears ending. Heh. I didn't cry to that, but it's always been a poignant memory from that game. I love IoG. It's got a totally unique atmosphere to any other game.

I love how I found the game in the first place: I was browsing through a second-hand game section of a newspaper (called 'Loot'), and someone was selling a load of games. I read the name 'Terranigma', and without even knowing a thing about the game, something just clicked in my head and said 'you have to buy this'. I literally discovered one of my favourite ever games just because the name sounded good to me.

I've run one of these for about 4 years. We started off monthly, then after a few years went down to quarterly, and now 'whenever', with one big one a year regardless. It wasn't due to attendance that we changed; it was mostly down to my work schedule, though event frequency does impact many behavioural patterns from attendees (numbers per event, time people leave, what they bring, etc.) I can give you more detailed feedback if you'd like? They've not, but that's a great idea. I'll give it some thought.

We've been doing this already for a while now. We get a very modest number of people watching, but it's still good. We then turn them into YouTube videos, and get a modest number of hits on those too. So I would recommend this to others also. This is a great suggestion. I'll definitely consider this, cheers. Some really nice high-level concept ideas in this. Good luck with the project. We fell into doing The Siege and the Sandfox, as the artists had just been making the assets as a hobby project, so we shelved our 3D project, adopted them, and started work on the game. Part of why we all went indie (we're all from AAA backgrounds with around 10-15 years' experience each) was so we weren't beholden to market trends and pushy business departments. However, after we started the project, I've certainly been doing market research. I have a database of all titles similar to ours in some way or another - already out and in development - with details about their Metacritic score, release date, platforms, launch price, players, owners (taken before Steamspy went down), and more. There is a freedom and joy to making what you want, and as trends are so rapid to change, and games so long to make, it's very hard to research pre pre-production and get any data that will be reliable come completion of the game.

Well thanks for joining! Be sure to say hi when you're online. We can talk Xenogears in Off-Topic. I've just ordered the Fei figure! Chucklefish are our publishing partner. So they've funded part of development and are assisting us with publishing. We (Cardboard Sword) are doing all of the development. As I've commented before much earlier in the thread: time is a horrible comparison metric. A team of 4 people working for 1 year is the same as 1 person working for 4 years. And then what about hours per day? Someone could have a full-time job, but a short commute home and live alone and get 5 hours per day work done on their hobby project, or someone could have a full-time job and an hour's commute each way, and two kids and a partner and only work 1 hour per day on a hobby project. Then there is mentality; some people are just workaholics, some need to swap activities every hour or so. That's not necessarily discipline, that can be hormones, innate traits, all sorts. If we judge ourselves based on sweeping assumptions of others, we'll never come out on top. Go easy on yourself. It doesn't matter if you take a year, 5 years, 30 years or whatever. Just making a game is pretty damn cool. This looks great. Everyone loves an air combo! Keep up the good work. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens... or completely uninteresting and just disappointing. I get why they did it, but there will be ramifications.

Marketing: I was considering Discord for a while, but had written it off earlier in development as it better suits a more community-driven game, or a game with persistence of some kind (e.g. Descenders for community, Stardew Valley for persistence). Our game is a single-player story-driven Metroidvania... However, I have seen more and more people talking about Discord, and figured it may make a good tool as another form of delivery platform for what we were essentially doing with Facebook and Twitter: sharing updates and screenshots. I figured it doesn't really matter if those that join are chatting every day or not. If we can grab a few extra people, simply because it's their preferred channel for engagement, then it's been worth it, right? So I set one up, (shameless plug incoming) which you can access . It would be cool if any of you joined. Has anyone here set-up/ran a Discord server, or is part of one, that may be able to offer suggestions and feedback to help me keep it alive or improve it? Any thoughts on using Discord in this way? Looking swell. Another impressive-looking project from a solo dev. I'll give you a follow.

Nice idea. Followed. Thanks very much! We'll have a new newsletter coming out soon, with some exclusive screenshots, if you wanted to or anything... Really great start. Some shading would improve it I reckon, but then the more detailed you get, the greater the risk of drifting ( ;) ) too far from the intended style. Still, I think there's a middle ground that can be met and would improve this. What scenario are you pitching in? (Face-to-face presentation, sending in a deck, Skype meeting, phone call, etc.) Regardless, I would suggest that you make it quick and exciting, highlight a Switch-specific feature for huge bonus points, and be sure to show pretty pictures. Looks swell! I'm looking forward to seeing those gifs.

Thanks, and thanks for the feedback. This is something we're already discussing actually, both from a technical standpoint, and artistic. Thanks guys! Neither, it's an issue with the material actually. Please ignore it as it will be fixed soon. I forgot that was in there! Imagine all the teams out there with more than one person. For example, if a team has 5 people, working on a game for 2 years, that's 10 man years' work. 1 person working for 1 year is 1 man year's work. A lone programmer after a year's work is going to have FAR less to show than 10 years of cross-discipline work. If you're going to be comparing yourself, make sure you're comparing something similar. 1 artist's 1 year of art will look better than 1 programmer's 1 year of code, but that programmer's 1 year of code will be much more functional than 1 year of art. Also, Xenogears name reference? *nod of respect for Xenogears love*

Aww, well thanks. We do have two artists and an animator though, and those two artists in particular started our game as a hobby project several years ago, so the art's had a lot more time on it than the rest of the game (and they're bloody talented too, but don't tell them I said that!) Well take that one in, absorb it. It's so easy for people to shrug off praise, but then allow themselves to languish in self-doubt. Many people do this to themselves, including us with our art that you like so much. This, in my opinion, is the correct approach. Our game looked so good off the bat due to there being so much art done before we even started the project as a team. But art assets can be updated on top of a functional game. I spent around 6-7 years working in AAA, and trust me, many games look like ass until a large way through development. 'Make a good game first, then make it a pretty good game.' is the phrase I'd use if I were to invent one on the spot which kinda sums up my sentiment but also has some slightly amusing word play in it....

I'd suggest not straying too close to Claptrap. With the mono-wheel, yellow colour, and the [X] panels looking like it's been pranged a few times so a bit worse-for-wear, you may find criticism for originality. The TV screen probably isn't enough on its own to break past that. Is the cube shape a requirement for design mechanics? Is there another colour or shape or feature you could use to better uniquely identify it? This is the most important point I'd suggest. As you learn more and more, it is easy to get overly ambitious and end up scaling too far, to the point where you don't finish things. I'd suggest writing a list of what you want to achieve, then strictly make that. Then, as you're making the current thing, take notes about what teased your ambition, and then try those for the next project. That's damn cute.

So, I mentioned before that we've added . I just wanted to share our first-released screenshot showing the actual results of all that effort, and welcome any feedback: And here's a comparison shot: It's not just that these are excellently animated, or that they're extremely charming, or very creatively invented ways of character movement for the situation, it's also that they seem to give you greater freedom in design, offering additional player positioning not often seen. Things like squishing up against the wall, and a little extra time off a ledge before fatal descent. I could be wrong, but that's how it seems. Are your inventive animations leading design, or is design leading a requirement for inventive animations? This is such a cool application that this modelling method enables. Just make sure you allow bandaging of the knee. I hear it's oft an adventurer's downfall when victim to bow-flung projectiles... I think you're gonna need more than just a cross, mate... This looks awesome and terrifying.

Our Lead Designer Chris did a short talk recently on AI in our game, but it's (hopefully) generally useful for AI and 2D game AI considerations. . These animations look great! I love that you can kick the spike back, and that the enemies are pacified and cute after being defeated. What a clever idea.

I'm no coder, so don't take just my advice, but I would offer the following: If you want to develop skills that might have wider reach in development, and create a skillset that will better benefit you for potential employment, then I would suggest Unreal or Unity. If you have the liberty to take that extra time (e.g. part time job, living at parent's, etc.) then it is probably worth it. However, if you're just planning on boshing out some prototypes, then use whatever's quickest.

Each game has a different style, and normal mapping won't suit all styles, but when it does, it really does add a lot. Cheers. Yeah, we do have a team so it made it more feasible. Our artists started the assets for our game as a hobby project years ago, so they are ahead of the project schedule, which has allowed them the liberty of time to undertake the mammoth task of doing this process. Thanks :) Thanks. Definitely a lot of work, but yeah, we think the results are worth it. Your stuff is looking great too, judging by what you've recently shared.

I concur with the above for engine choice, and portfolios being the best route in. Regarding jamming with a team at uni, I think it's a great idea. I'd make the following suggestions, though these are simply my suggestions, I'd love to hear if people disagree: - Make a small-scale game - Re-make that same game from scratch - Make a new completely different game - Make Version 2 of the re-make of the first game This way you can slowly increase the features of game 1, implement what you learnt from each production process, apply new skills from game 2 to game 1, start adding in refinements and optimisation. Also, working on adapting an existing game by returning to it with more experience, is a skill often used in the games industry, for porting or making sequels. Be sure to avoid being too ambitious. Having unreachable goals leads to things fizzling out. It's far better to start and finish something small and easy, then iterate, than it is to begin with a MOBA or online FPS etc.

Oh, well thanks for giving it a watch, and for the compliments. I hope it helped you in some way. We plan to do some more Paper2D live stream tutorials in the future too. Paper2D has been mostly great. We've had a few problems, and made a few changes to dramatically increase productivity (copy&paste across tilemap layers for example), but otherwise we're getting on with it just fine. We have purchased the plugin too, which has saved us a load of time and is very cheap. Worth taking a look at, certainly. We tried normal mapping our sprites early on but didn't get satisfactory results. One of our artists then decided he wanted to try hand-painting normals to get similar effects to what you've posted above. It took him a lot of time, but the results turned out great: I do appreciate your position, making this difficult for just you though. Unfortunately we're not aware of any tool that might achieve what you're after ourselves, hence having to spend so many man hours doing this. Good luck with the rest of the project though.

We've been contacting universities, especially games courses, to arrange play testing sessions. They seem really up for it, as the students get some cool experience, feel part of the game, and get to ask you questions about actual game dev. We're doing 2D AI for our game. Ours is a stealth game, so the main considerations revolve around that. I'm not involved directly with the AI code, so can't help you myself, but of Impromptu is doing our AI, and he has .

I agree with Blizzard. Also, one always learns something when prototyping. Be it better knowledge of a tool or engine, or a greater understanding of design, or more. It's worth pursuing. Just make the exercise cost as little time as you can, in case it does fail. So yeah, use shit assets you make yourself, or buy a dirt cheap asset pack from one of the engine stores.

It really feels like the end of an era to launch this game. I showed an early version of this off to a small set of people at PAX Prime 2014. The guys at Sukeban made it so much better between then and launch, and I have learned so much about development and publishing and all of that in the last year, if not the last few months in general. I wonder what it will be like to fully reflect on this time. I hope this all works out and that I get to take a vacation. I feel like we've been bashing away at this for ages. Thank you everyone for being so patient and waiting on both Sukeban and myself to deliver the kind of game you wanted. I hope that I can keep bringing you new and different things to both Vita, PS4, PC and Switch as we move forward. its because it's Nashville ;)

Supporting Europe for games doesn't seem to be worth the work or PEGI price. I'm just gonna put that out there. Y'all are too busy buying PC simulation games and Creative Assembly stuff. I get a lot of requests for European releases, but when we did one none of you showed up to buy. It's a PS4 _and_ Vita game with cross buy and under 10 euros and no one showed up to buy it. Totally shocked.

PEGI is quite expensive. I cannot afford it for a while. EU users need to buy more games if they would like future support. This is really our first time out, so we are still learning how to do marketing and everything. I made a lot of assumptions about how things would go on console to be totally honest! Wouldn't be an issue if it was free like digital-only ESRB or Brazilian rating

It's crossbuy. Hearing EU players ask to be supported and then not showing up to give that support back is a little frustrating.

I dunno, I'm having fun supporting Vita, but I am in a special position on my toolchain that supporting it right now isn't a massive challenge for us. We're also shipping on other platforms alongside it. Power can be a huge issue for games not planned to run at a very tight minimum spec. Sometimes the available horsepower on modern machines can spoil you during development, and going back to optimize for 128mb of VRAM is unreasonable (when a game might be too far gone already)

Playism did the translation. I implemented all of their changes myself into the code-base. I am the publisher for this game on PS Vita, and am licensing it to Playism. A Japanese release was always planned, so working with them has been favorable. The expectations were self-imposed. :)

We have many CMs in 505 Games. Each one of us handles different games. I'm working with Remedy on P7 and another title which is being developed by Limbic Entertainment for which there is little information at this point in time but expect an update soon on this. At this point in time this is what is out there. ---> Bloodstained is being handled from the community side of things from our US office, we have a new CM which is looking after the title. I'll encourage him to subscribe to the forums so he can give you all an update on things to come :) (I'm in the UK office) He joined the team quite recently as well. If there is something we can communicate, trust me we will :) And we take feedback really seriously at 505 Games. I know this sounds as a cliche and you hear this a lot but the team at 505 Games really value the feedback from the community. A good example is Portal Knights where a big percentage of the new features were based on community feedback

A quirk I've run into with my X. On my 7 Plus, running iOS 7, when I would AirPlay something--anything, regardless of app--it would show up in the 'media' portion of control center. That doesn't appear to be the case on the X, for some reason? This morning, for example, I'd been playing a Netflix movie for my kid to be distracted by in the morning, and when I AirPlay'd MSNBC to my Apple TV, the Netflix app was still the one in control of the 'media' part in control center, despite no longer being in control. Anyone else?

Hard to say "public eye" when its such a niche title. Its really, really good but may be too hard for your average non game-forum-visiting player. Even in the visual, which I love, Metroid and Castlevania have visual hooks thats are much more mainstream friendly. However, a bit of hyperbole in this case is good because it will lead more people to try the game.

It would have to be a direct sequel that reivents its gameplay completely so that its groundbreaking by todays standards. Theres too many comparisons with old games, even your SSH gets compared to Chrono Trigger when its not realistic or fair. FF VI was the biggest RPG of its time that reinvents the genre with a cast bigger than its predecessors and reached a new level of epic storytelling. THATS the legacy not the minute stuff like Magitek and whatnot.

Thread: The Art Pub - Show off your work & help each other out!
Hi! This is nice! I did a paintover on the left side I think you did a nice job with keeping your light direction semi consistent but I think you could have taken it further in order to add more depth, thats most noticeable on the shadow being cast by the nose or how I went a lot darker in order to define the cheekbones. In the future I would suggest spending a bit more time on making the mirrored side more unique so it doesnt look so copy-paste. In terms of painting technique, for the skin tone you added more black in order to go darker. Unless thats done on purpose I would shy away from that in the future and would urge you to always add color to your shadows by varying the hue. I started with going with a richer red to add some volume and for the darkest parts I added blue. It gives you a more natural, fun look. For the beard you actually played with some purple tones so I think instinctively youre already doing it, you just need to think about it a bit more. Another thing I wanted to point out is depth, notice how I separated the beard elements with darker values in order to make the piece less flat. This guy has a nice chunky beard so you want to push those shapes and get the most out of them. You added a bit of rim light to the robe, its not a bad idea but make sure youre consistent and add it to the rest of the piece. Cat came out pretty cute :) This is a good piece, fun shapes! I think you can be a lot more playful with color -and- depth, seems like youre holding back a bit on that front. You have some great shapes that would probably work pretty well in a world of warcraft esque style!

Thread: The Art Pub - Show off your work & help each other out!
Harro, you have a good level of skill and your output is pretty nice so I can get a bit more specific with my feedback :) First, the concept. I played XIV as well so I can see what youre trying to convey, The piece has good energy, the characters are well drawn and theres a good level of detail! It reminds me a fair bit of my own work a few years ago. I redrew the layout to go a bit further with what you had: First, the mobs. By adding more of them and giving them something to do, you are giving the drawing a reason to exist and a story to tell. Now it looks like your Lala is trying to get somewhere running past these little guys who are just trying to mess with you. By drawing them on the foreground, middleground and background the illustration gains depth! The background. You can see I lowered the grass line to a more steep diagonal. This helps create more depth and diagonal lines are good if you want to sell a more action based shot. The action itself. The chocobo was redrawn to be a bit more 3dimensional given the camera view and reposed to make a bit more sense with the action. Raising the claws and increasing the dust clarifies what the animal is trying to do, more dynamic leg angles increase the sense of movement and raising the head and opening the beak increase the drama and makes the drawing cooler to look at since its not "default chocobo face" As for the Lala, this new pose makes it a lot more dynamic, bending the arm slightly at the elbow gives it a nice dynamic curve, lowering the head makes him look more driven, making the hair react to the speed adds storytelling and dynamism as does lifting him off his seat slightly (little fella bounces around more!) Now onto colors, this is where you need the most time thinking about your approach, I think Your art has a nice rendering quality to it and it seem,s like you spend a lot of time getting details just right. Thats a good thing! However, you need to start thinking big picture and realize how much more you have to gain by really exploring your light source and exploiting it, even if it hides some of your details. Adding depth will really take your work to the next level. So, the KEY thing is that you implied the whole scene was backlit (due to the sunrays coming off of the chocobo on the left side of the image. Thats a good thing so now the entire illustration needs to follow that cue, that means that yes, your two main subjects will be mostly IN SHADOW. Now, its important to note that shadows =/ SUPER DARK DARKNESS. It just means that we need to delineate our darkest areas with our highlights and use all the available colors to their full potential. I started with adding the light direction to the clouds by adding a shadow to their left side, that lets you know where the sun is. Then I added the CAST SHADOW to the grass following the same direction which then informed the dust cloud shadows after that. Once I got to the chocobo and lalafell they needed to be heavily altered since they looked like they were being lit from all directions. Like in the other critiques when I added shadow I did NOT add black, but rather a saturated dark red and dark blue. I took care to make sure cast shadows were strong as well (his leg casting on the feathers, the wing on the leg, etc, push your shadows further!) THEN I went in and added the crucial element to make everything pop Rim lighting! Look at the edge of the weapon, hair, pants, feathers, face, feet, pouches. I went with a saturated yellow or orange for the most part and used that to not just hit the rims but to add extra texture to where they lay. It really helps make everything feel 3D and separates the elements with a nice sense of depth. Notice how now you can clearly look at the reins and know which one is in front and which is behind whereas before you could only tell because of the lineart. You can also clearly tell which leg is closer to the sun than the other. Everything is a lot more consistent and ties the illustration together even with my sloppy rendering (only painted this for about 10 minutes) If I were to give you an overall critique, it would be to integrate your characters into your backgrounds more. It doesnt mean you need to draw a castle, but even a grassy field with some foreground details like rocks and bushes would help, try to take your storytelling to the next level (I go in-depth on that subject on sinopiasaurs critique, so give that a read!) Secondly really work on your values and dont be afraid to paint over your nice detail work. You do some good stuff so Im looking forward to see how you progress!

Thread: The Art Pub - Show off your work & help each other out!
OK, I didnt get to every character, but mostly look at Supes, WW, MM, Flash and Hawkgirl a lil bit. This is, again, super quick but the main thing I focused on is building up your characters. Your work is very, very airbrushy and youre not necessarily enhancing the lineart yet. Your job as a colorist is see where the pencils want you to go and really push them to the next level. You are adding basic shadows and basic highlights but they're very light and very blotchy, you should be sculpting these characters with your color work and using a more textured brush would be a good start. Notice the work I did on Superman's face and how it follows the lineart and makes him look a lot more 3D without taking the inks away. You also need to take some liberties and not be too anal so I went ahead and added some rim lighting atop the inks where it made sense. You need to go darker and lighter in spots in order to get a better sense of contrast, wonder woman is a good example of that where I went darker with the cape and really separated all the elements. With Martian Manhunter I darkened the space behind him so he would pop and did a once over with a dark blue to really accentuate his abs and darken his face to sell the mood. With Flash I again added the dark blue but played with those yellow highlights to accentuate the speed force, I also darkened the Superman "S" behind him so Flash would pop more. As a whole you need to take bolder decisions. Your colors right now are a step above "flash is red so Im gonna add red" which is fine for a beginner but you need to start thinking about moving on to the next step and I think the key steps are: more texture, less airbrush and more dramatic lighting where you see more shadows and highlights. I dont know your process but it would help to make a value thumbnail at a small size before you start your rendering. I think this came out a little harsh and its a little late so I dont feel like editing, lol. You do good work and you should be able to get a lot better very quickly so keep at it! I hope this helps a bit :)

Thread: The Art Pub - Show off your work & help each other out!
What you are saying its fair, but please keep in mind that a lot of beginners say the same stuff when facing a critique. Its OK to want to go for a global illumination look to your art, but you should spend the time learning how to properly apply a light direction before hand, otherwise youre bending the rules before you know them. If you want to go for a flat art look, thats fine and good but as soon as you imply a light direction (which you did) anytime you have blatant contradictions its going to make the art look bad so keep that in mind. Conceptually I am going to disagree, I dont think adding custom elements and personality speak towards affluence. Look at many Ghibli films or other reference and youll see money usually comes through with finish, polish and cleanliness. Pretty much everything I added to the store can be made to look like junk and garbage that nobody wants to buy, but it still tells a story. I also subscribe to the theory that -everything- should look interesting. If its not meant to look like the store heroes would stop by then all that means that the store the heroes WOULD stop by is even more impressive and interesting. Anyways, feel free to disagree. Thanks for the reply :)

Thanks! Early August for EVO so I gotta get busy. It takes me about 3 days per illustration when I get down to it, the hard part is finding the time. What can help you spot proper value quickly is to make a new layer in color mode and fill it black. That gives you a proper grayscale image without having to go through all the menus (I assume you know this, but Im sure other people dont, lowering the saturation all the way to zero is NOT a proper grayscale image, that will give you the wrong values)

Ok lets do this. First a very basic paintover. Your painting technique aint bad, you will get better through practice but the number one thing you need to worry about is light direction and really be consistent with it, if you dont work on that now you will really struggle later. Your painting has about 3 or 4 light sources, the bench has light from underneath, the flower pot from above, the building from the front aaand the windows have none. PICK ONE and be consistent, even if you it makes you paint over some details you wanted to keep. Once you get comfortable with it you can start adding some bounce lights, but for now focus on the basics. Oh you also need to add some reflections on the glass if you want it to show (they way I did it was rushed and not well done so thats just a quick example) Now onto the meat of this piece, the concept. Its not a bad start, you have some storytelling going on and when you pay attention you will find what you were describing. However, you need to go much further. Here is a quick redo of the same idea: And a breakdown You should treat most of the elements here as an opportunity to tell a story. Ask yourself questions as you draw like "what kind of bench should this be? What kinds of plants? How -many- plants? Wouldn't a magician have some kind of unique door?" You are leaving a lot of room for a little extra detail that can really tell your story right away, having those flyers and the lamp helps the story because it hints at a more modern time, adding the vines on the top of the image gives you a sense of time, adding extra flowers gives you a sense of care, adding an extra table with more trinkets gives you a sense of wonder. Just making sure the pot has a small design on it instead of just plain ceramic can do a lot for you. Oh btw the pole above the door is meant to hoist a flag which I didn't draw initially so you wouldn't miss the lamp behind it. That will look cool because it gives you a flag (!), extra depth (!!) and a chance for an extra lightsource in a dark part of the image (!!!) Your initial concept was a bit one dimensional, when you design a magic store then the store itself -is- magic, not just the items on display. Even the window frame should be more than just a plain frame. Drawing wise you should also be a bit more playful, notice how the vines on the pot (top left) now has longer vines that may layer on top of the flyers, or how the magics sign is now thicker and overlaps the windows (would be casting a shadow) You have decent ideas, just keep trying to push the envelope and remember to always try to tell a story. Execution wise stay consistent with your light sources and don't forget to add more highlights. Hope this helps!

OK, so this was a good reason to post this, thanks for getting my ass to do something lol I've put together 5 of some of my most popular pieces in their original black and white format. You can download thse and use them to practice your digital painting skills! They are high res printable so this is something I could (and probably should, lol) charge for, but for now I'm going to ignore that because I know it can be hard to find work to practice coloring with and if I can help someone get started that is enough recompense for now. Since Im potentially going to get this art stolen by people, please do me the favor and: -Give credit if you share it online, or at least promote the ERA art community! is a good place to refer people -Dont print it in order to sell it -Dont act like its your art lol -Show me your work! Would love to help :) You can download the .rar with all 5 files (I tested the link on a browser I wasnt signed up on and I was able to download it, but let me know if you cant) For your reference, this is how most of these (sans Hanzo) looked when I was done. I try to keep my lineart open ended so that I can manipulate the light source as much as I can when Im rendering. I usually just set these on a multiply layer at 60% opacity and go from there.

Torso and hips you want to draw their alignment really early to set the proper balance (meaning, draw the spinal cord line, then the shoulder line then the hips line). Proper distance is usually one head distance from chin to nipples (females) bottom of pec (males), one head down from there is the belly button and one head down from there is the crotch. As per "how to draw them" on males you want to break down the pectoral into three muscles that taper at the shoulder, The best way is to study the skeletal strcuture, then a muscle diagram and then see it on a naked model to understand how much skin covers shit up ... after that its just draw 30 of them in a row, 1 minute each and I bet youll see some progress.

Square ratio always works well.

Otherwise I work on a 16:9 ratio for mockups since thats just widescreen format and its adaptable enough. Honestly though, I typed all that and I still just kinda wing it

Mark Lenders was his name for us in Spain! Even as a kid I recognized the many, many issues the show had: terrible pacing, complete lack of realism (which is ok) and the sheer ridiculousness of Japan winning the world cup ... but it was still a fun ride. Recently Ive been playing the mobile game and have been re-reading the manga for research purposes (I have a soccer IP in mind I want to develop) and the fact that it was made as propaganda for the Japanese youth to get into soccer is so, so obvious and in your face that you cant help but laugh when you see the ridiculous heights they elevate Japanese soccer to. Thanks, Adam! Life is indeed good right now, sorry to hear that you havent been happy with your situation. Thank you for the kind words. For professional advice, its always a good idea to have a clear goal in mind. If you just want to be in videogames, find a job that you could do at a beginner level and get your foot in the door. If your goal is to be a really high caliber, hirable artist, then attaining a high degree of skill in one area before you diversify is also a great idea. Figure out if you want to be an experience/UI designer, or a character artist, or a world builder, or an illustrator, etc etc and really push your limits, then a path to an industry job will follow much more naturally. I enjoyed the brief time we hung out in NY and could tell you were very conflicted with your priorities at the time so I hope you have found a pocket of space where you can really grind on your skillset.

Use this thread to post doodles, challenges, photos, 3D work, illustrations, fanart or anything in between! (btw that sweet piece is by Orioto, buy his prints !) In this thread, it is extremely encouraged to help and motivate other posters when they share their work! Sister threads: Some good art related Twitter accounts, (, hehe) Moving forward we'll be merging with the excellent , which has a fantastic OP (thank you, Wulfric) that Im pasting here: Welcome to the ResetERA Art Study Thread! This thread’s main purpose is to help the ERA community improve their art and get a better understanding of fundamental concepts. We hope that this thread will inspire you to take up art as a hobby, or perhaps even a profession! Our goal is to provide you the necessary nudges in the right direction in order to flex your creative muscles and become more familiar with the visual arts. Introduce you to the supplies you will need Introduce you to basic art concepts and resources in a structured manner, enabling you to study on your own and at your own pace. Contain a library of online tutorials, videos, books, and reference materials. A casual space to help answer questions, or provide constructive critiques when desired. Due to the nature of art and art references (particularly anatomy), be aware that some links may not be safe for work. Please browse using proper judgement. Please give the same precaution when posting. When it comes to art, there will be times where we are naturally threading between artistic nudity and malicious content (or even pornography), and that fine dividing line is really blurred. I can’t really say do this or do that, since we are our own artists and it’s our expression, but please ask yourself if an artwork is appropriate enough to be posted in a public space. First things first… being good at art is not a talent! Being able to draw is relatively the same as learning to write, in a sense that it’s something that you must practice and sharpen. Drawing is a skill, and you can only be as good as the amount of time you put at it learning and doing. "But why do other people grasp it quicker than me?" you ask. It’s because some people already develop those foundational knowledge and skills even before they are drawing. What I mean is those people understand many concepts such as how light works, how shapes work and many other things. It just happened that they went to apply things they already know and understood on the canvas. In a sense, they began learning earlier than you may believe. To get started, all you really need is a pencil and some paper. A variety of pencils (check out HB, 2B, and 2H) and an acid-free sketchpad from your local art supply store will suffice. These does have some limitations, but it will do the trick to get your hands and eyes accustomed to drawing. However, it doesn’t mean that you can buy your way to improvement with better supplies. Other tools like charcoal and pastels will allow you to do things that a pencil cannot. Kneaded erasers (which come in gray or white) will be easier to work with than the classic pink eraser you used in school. When you become used to how graphite pencils work, other options like charcoal, conte crayons, and ink will help you explore drawing with different techniques. A word about straightedges: They are nice to have, but are unnecessary when you are starting out. Through practice, you can draw straight lines, organic curve lines, and perfect circles and ellipses if you get into the habit of using your elbows and shoulders instead of your wrists. This is one of the most important foundational skills to have and you will use it for drawing, for both traditional and digital. You’re in luck. Parka Blogs has been reviewing art supplies and sketchbooks for several years. They even review tablets and scanners! It’s definitely worth taking a look here to find something you can add to your Christmas wishlist.

Not bad, Noe! I think you could push the leg in the foreground further so it can distinguish itself more from the back leg value wise. The bounce light is a nice touch but since its being used uniformly throughout (the forearm in the front is receiving the same amount of bounce light than the arm in the back) you are not getting the most advantage out of that technique

Saw the movie this weekend and I loved how it shows you how different a movie like Predator or Alien could be if treated from a different POV. These kinds of movies are always shot under the perspective of macho glorified violence or under the terrified victim. Here we see a different angle, something that tries to go a bit deeper and not as simplistic as "alien entity just wants to murder your ace" I wanna say its almost like a pacifist take on the genre, but thats not quite right. Really left an impression though.

I didnt mind Canto Bight on both viewings. It fleshed out Rose, introduced shades of grey to the SW lore, added some visual flair and adventure moments to the story and setup the post credits scene. Sure, its not perfect but the degree of criticism it receives is a little hyperbolic for my taste.

Playing Tales of Phantasia remake on PS1, never released in English but the fan translation is really good. -Redone spritework is among the most impressive 2D work in ANY RPG. Tremendous. -Very fully featured! Despite being the first game in the series it already has all the trademark elements of the series (VA, convos, AI customization, cooking, etc). Dunno what was added from SNES. -Great attention to detail. Interacting with cooking stations, chimneys, custom tilesets for towns, custom room and bathroom details. Just awesome.

Wasnt really moved by anything that happened, didnt buy into Han , Lando doesnt do anything, the characters are slaves to the plot, Enfys was barely in the movie, the Maul reveal felt entirely too out of left field ... Nothing outwardly bad but instead of a well constructed tale the movie seemed more focused in filling up Han Solos wikipedia page than anything else and it kept taking me out of the experience.

Thread: Indivisible: Valkyrie Profile/Metroid, Indiegogo, PC/Mac/Linux/Switch/PS4/XB1 - Update thread
Thank you, HadesGigas, for the original thread. Indivisible is a RPG by Lab Zero, the makers of the hit fighting game Skullgirls! It ran a campaign in Indiegogo a while ago, hitting their $1.5 million goal. In this thread we will keep up with the updates to the game as they get ready for release. The game get a physical retail release at launch, but only in a Standard Edition. You can still preorder and donate towards the game through That is also the only way to get the physical Collectors Edition Campaign Video Anime Expo 2017 Sizzle Reel For Indivisible, Lab Zero has once again partnered with a legendary Japanese game music composer: If you don’t recognize the name, Kikuta-san is responsible for the amazing soundtracks to Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu III (Secret of Mana 2), Soukaigi, and Koudelka, among others. Samples: Thanks to reaching one of the Campaign Stretch goals, Indivisible will have an animated intro with a dream collaboration by none other than famed Studio Trigger (Little Witch Academia, Kill la Kill) and Titmouse. Some Pre Production art from Trigger Here is an illustration by the great Yoh Yoshinari The total budget for Indivisible is $3,500,000. If we raise our goal of $1,500,000 or more, 505 Games will provide the remaining $2,000,000 we need to complete the game. So, effectively, up to the initial goal your contribution is worth more than double. And the more we raise beyond the initial goal, the better the game gets and the better the publishing arrangement with 505 gets for Lab Zero. To be clear, this is not a campaign to “gauge interest” – Indivisible’s budget represents a more equitable funding split, where your support directly influences not only the game, but also the post-release benefits Lab Zero receives. Indivisible will not happen if we don’t hit our goal. But should the campaign succeed, Lab Zero will have a better outcome than we would’ve gotten through a more traditional publishing deal – that’s the risk we took, and we feel it’s a worthwhile tradeoff. Additionally, this represents the complete budget for our entire vision of Indivisible. If we are lucky enough to be in that situation, we will not be adding additional gameplay content to the core game as stretch goals As such, all additional content funded through stretch goals will be released in post-release updates.

Thread: Cristiano is a goat
Im a Real Madrid guy and Id still take Messi. Cristiano is a very, very, veeerryyy good player but the feeling of danger when Messi has the ball anywhere past the midfield line is a step above. As far as greatest of all time, its hard to tell. We forget how dominant Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Di Stefano and even Zidane were. The way soccer is played now with more games, more tournaments and more super teams make the trophy argument kind of null. Its also not on Messi for not having any international cups, luck plays a husge factor in 11 vs 11. For my money, Zidane is the greatest player I have seen live

We're at the point where we don't think we can support 32-bit any more, just because we need to access more than 4 GB of RAM. In the final game, the plan is for multiple levels to be loaded at a time so there are seamless transitions between them. Less than 2% of Steam users are using 32-bit Windows. Even if we thought we could make it work, it's still we have to do to support a very small and diminishing segment of the market. It also doesn't make sense to do additional work for the Backer Preview if the final game is going to be 64-bit.

"Not fully?" Can you send an e-mail to , because it should definitely be fully localized into German. We haven't populated the game with NPCs yet. That's to say there won't be a lot of NPCs in the more natural environments, like the jungle, desert and caves. But areas like Tai Krung and Iron Kingdom should feel more lived-in in the final game.

I think his project is different than ours, and more focused than ours is. But maybe we'll consider some kind of notice, like "This is a work of fiction, inspired by the cultures and mythology of the world." No one here seems to think we really need to worry about that, though, because this doesn't take place on Earth, etc.

Yes, it's Flash. It's far too detailed to animate by hand, and doing so wouldn't really add much to it. And judging the complexity of this monster's animations from the Idle state isn't exactly fair, or a good way to go about it. The Manote Thiha boss from the prototype was also animated in Flash, BTW, and most people are surprised when we tell them that. It's just more obvious here because the monster's base design is so clearly segmented.

It was a rough campaign - 60 days instead of thirty, and I was honestly an emotional wreck for most of it. After Bloodstained and Shenmue 3, the media mostly stopped covering crowdfunding campaigns, and between the prototype you're DL'ing now and everything we had designed our campaign to generate a lot of media attention. Things improved a lot after we got the prototype out on PS4, because that was a first and thus newsworthy enough for the media to cover. Our fans were even more awesome than usual, though, and did everything they could to generate attention for the game, and I think that played a big part in getting us over the goal and funding the stretch goals we did.

You are hardly the first person to say this, haha. It was a pretty constant refrain during the campaign. We went with IGG because we had success with them on Skullgirls, and they promised us a lot of promotion and support if we went with them again, as well as grandfathering us into their old rate structure. However, what we didn't know was that IGG hadn't been working on it's brand image at all. And in the intervening years, because of a lot of bad campaigns that wouldn't fly on KS, their public perception was that they were "shady," and that all of their campaigns used the flexible funding model. So we had to do a lot of educating the public about the platform while pitching the game, too. But our community helped out a lot with this, because they're overwhelmingly happy with how we handled the Skullgirls IGG campaign. And the promotion they promised never really materialized, either.

That is pretty much why we don't bother doing it, even when it would be "easy" like in this case. And complicated palette sectors aren't exactly "easy," either - it has to be pretty precise and it still adds a lot of work, especially if we're talking smaller details. Parasoul's hidden glasses, for example, were apparently a bit of a nightmare to clean up.

Launch date parity, yes. Probably no Switch-specific additions. The game is extremely menu-light and touch screen would probably be a slower and less efficient way to navigate what few there are. And historically we've never done anything with rumble because Mike doesn't like it, and I expect that will be the case here on all platforms.

So we originally started talking to Kikuta WAY back in 2011 when I was at Reverge, the original Skullgirls developer. I was going to lead a project there, and wanted Kikuta to score it. We contacted him through 8-4 and he agreed, and we used a track off of his album Alphabet Planet on the pitch video. But that project was never signed, and Reverge is dead now. When we started pitching Indivisible, we wanted him again. Because not only is his music awesome, he has the ethnic range this soundtrack needs. We approached him again, this time through Scarlet Moon Productions, and the rest is history!

When we signed him, I said the general sound we're looking for was "Secret of Mana-like melodies with Soukaigi's lushness." Obviously I'm biased, but I think the soundtrack is going to really be something special. I really liked the music in Skullgirls, but I didn't listen to it while working all that often. Indivisible, on the other hand, I probably listen to it more than anything else. Really can't wait until we can reveal some more of these tunes. I've been having Jon tease a few of my favorites on the animation streams lately, to give our most devoted fans a sneak peek.

I think it's a huge deal that this is Kikuta's first full RPG soundtrack since... some Shining game that never came out here? And we're talking ~2 hour of Kikuta goodness, thanks to that first stretch goal. And I frequently listen to our game's music while I work, like... for fun. So does Mike. And I have to tell you - when I met him and got dinner with him last TGS, I was just barely able to contain my fanboy. Super nice guy, was fun to talk to. I walked him through the entire game's story so he understood the emotional arcs, etc. and said at the end it was fantastic.

Ultimately that's up to 505. It looks like they do have some games up on there, so not sure how exactly they manage that. If you care about DRM-Free, though, there is a DRM-Free PC option for the physical collector's edition. This is something I would like to do, but it's really going to come down to how much music we need for our game. There's also the fact that anything like that will be subject to approvals. And if we have good places to actually, like, use it in the game.

I will say that I kind of wish the opposite was happening, at least a little. As near as I can tell, Skullgirls backers are among the happiest crowdfunding customers, if not the happiest. We had almost zero complaints from the campaign, and considering how small we are, we delivered on the fulfillment better than some much larger campaigns. While of course a lot of Skullgirls backers showed up to crowdfund Indivisible, the press really never mentioned any of that stuff.

1. We don't have it running on the hardware quite yet, so no word how the performance is. For what it's worth, we consider this game playable at 30 FPS, unlike Skullgirls. We're going to strive for 60 FPS, of course, but no guarantee that we can do that without bumping the res down, etc. 2. BackerKit Customer Service should be able to help with that pretty easily. Since you're already paying shipping and everything is going out in one box, it shouldn't bump it up again. Also, if you do, please send an e-mail to indiegogo (at) labzerogames (dot) com and I'll make sure you get the bonus Lab Zero shirt.

1. No way to change the FPS counter position, as far as I know. I'll mention it. 2. Dhar's D. Atk is basically "Earth Install" - adds Earthen power to his next attack for more damage. In the final game, every character will have quick tips and full move lists to explain everything in detail. We're going to have to fiddle with the specific to get it to feel right, but I guess the idea is that whatever Iddhi you have left is halved, probably with some limit, and then you need to fill it up again to revive Ajna. The Iddhi drain would likely be percentage based, so you're always going to get the same number of "heartbeats" before she dies even if you if you don't get any Iddhi. Trying to find the right balance of "this shouldn't be too easy if you don't have a healer" and "making a choice to finish the fight first."

We almost got full more character info UI into the Backer Preview, but basically decided to save it just because it was another thing that would have delayed thing. Currently the plan is for each character to have a "hint sheet" giving you a high-level overview, and a more detailed "move list" that goes into the real nitty-gritty of their mechanics. I think that might actually make a pretty good development update post, so I'm going to think about revealing those pretty soon!

Enemy blocking / guard break is coming, but we haven't had a chance to implement it yet. Some of the things you suggested aren't planned, because we're really trying to let players play with the party they want as much as possible. So things like specific monster / elemental / Incarnation match-ups aren't on the table right now. Some Incarnations might be able to respond to some things better than others. For example, we're thinking that Qadira may be able to block magic unlike everyone else.

Releasing the crossover characters was a decision both for scheduling purposes, but also so the game can stand on its own before characters from another IP invade it. And a fun way to mix up a New Game +. I mean, 9 crossover characters is a sizable portion of the total playable cast.

Looks like their system chokes a bit if you try to distribute too many codes at once - takes around 10 minutes to put out 4000 codes, and there are over 20,000 Steam codes. Everything should be set except for Steam, which is still rolling out, as it has the most codes by far.

The game will get a physical retail release at launch, but only in a Standard Edition. You can pre-order the Collector's Edition now through the BackerKit pre-order store, here: It'll look something like this: All the art will change, most likely, but that's the general packaging concept, etc. that's been approved.

Looking at the old art, really the main change was growing her into her arm. The body / arm size differential was much greater before. Nothing about that said "average" to me - she always struck me as being tiny, and I think she is more "average" now than before? (Had the art in here originally, but without a way to shrink it I thought it was kind of obnoxious.) Also, if you hadn't seen Sangmu's updated design from the stream, she got significantly chubbier.

Final stretch goal (Multiple Endings, Bonus dungeon) was always intended to be released in a free post-release update. All of the characters you see there will be released as playable characters, also post-release. The current thought is that they'll start coming in from a dimensional portal in Ajna's Inner Realm. There may be a very loose sort of "crossover dimension" story, which will culminate in a boss fight. The rough plan is to release three character packs post-release, each with three characters every three months. The final pack will include the final boss battle. And we're targeting a simultaneous release on all consoles.

Yes, you can get the Backer Preview. You'll just have to get it on PS4, Steam or XB1 instead. While I sort of understand this sentiment, there really isn't any story content or anything that I would consider "spoilers" in the Backer Preview. It's made up from whatever assets we had available at the time, so not even the monster placement is going to be the same in the final game. It exists entirely to test out systems, look for bugs/exploits, and get feedback so we can improve the game.

I agree with you in terms of the timing from the console launch, but since the PS2 launched 7 months after Dreamcast in the U.S. and sales declined almost immediately after that, then being discontinued a year later (which you already stated, for a moment I thought I was just plagiarizing you lol), that's where I get the end of lifecycle from.

To be fair, I don't think Sato-san said that the Switch isn't a good fit for the Yakuza series because 1 & 2 HD failed on the Wii U. He mentionned the Wii U game only because I mentionned it in my question (I was only using it as an example of a Yakuza game being released on a non-Sony console). He does seem to think that the Switch isn't a good fit for the Yakuza series. But for other reasons.

There are a few newsworthy bits: -Kazuma won't disappear completely and we may see him again someday. -They're often asked about a City Hunter Yakuza spin-off. Daisuke Sato thinks that even though City Hunter also takes place in Shinjuku, the characters don't fit in a Yakuza game as well Hokuto no Ken's do. -Daisuke Sato would love to create Binary Domain 2. The decision rests in SEGA's hands though. -When I asked if we'll see Shun Akiyama again, Daisuke Sato was pretty coy about it and answered: "why not." There are a few fun bits in the interview.

During my first (and so far only) trip to Japan back in December 2015 a few fellow journalists and I ended up Kabukichô by luck. Thanks to the Yakuza games, I showed everybody around even though it was my first time there (took everybody to the batting center). Realizing that I was about to see Yakuza's real life locations was quite a trip. It was during the day and we never felt in danger. There was just one old dude who stopped us and used some hand gestures to ask us if we were looking for sex but other than that (and the sometimes explicit shops) it was as if we were in any other neighborhood.

It was probably the Plat that took me the longest in part because I made some mistakes along the way (like opening lockers with Haruka and doing my first run on Hard thinking that it would also unlock the Normal Trophy). Having to finish all the Coliseum with all 4 characters also took a very long time. It took so long that I stopped playing Yakuza 5 for more than a year. At one point I almost thought that I would never get Yakuza 5's Plat.

As the father of a 5 month old girl, the Haruto stuff hit me pretty hard in Yakuza 6. The karaoke song "Hands" that you unlock after finishing the main story almost made me tear up. The Yakuza team really doesn't get the credit it deserves in the West. I already posted this in the Yakuza 6 discussion thread but I also wanted to say it here.

Very interesting read, thanks! Yakuza 3 is one of my favorites because of the orphanage stuff. I think that it added a lot of depth to Kiryu as a character. And also because it rang true with stuff I’ve been told about growing up in an orphanage. That being said, I finished my first Yakuza 6 play through today. It took me more than 50 hours (I did all the substories, all the Clan Creator missions and Clan Creator-related Trophies, all the baseball games, and a lot of elements from the completion list). I have 88% of the Trophies, I’m just missing the Legend difficulty Trophy and the “Peak Kiryu” Trophy (get him to Level 300). It took me a lot less time to get this far than in previous episodes.

Just got Yakuza 6’s Platinum Trophy. Clearly the series’ easier Platinum to get. Took me 58 hours total. No Trophy was frustrating to get and I enjoyed the experience from beginning to end. Pro tip: make sure that Kiryu’s stats are almost maxed out before you start your Legend run. That way, it’ll be a walk in the park, even without the Golden Gun (which isn’t in the game).

Today, I asked Yu Suzuki what he thinks about Yakuza.

He seems to like Nagoshi. I think I heard him call him “Nagoshi-kun” but I’ll have to check my audio file.

Done with the Akiyama Coliseum fights! Only Shinada’s left. I just found out that I haven’t chosen the right upgrades during my original playthroughs so I don’t have the ability to regain some health in exchange for heat. So I had to beat the Komakis in order to be able to go to Level 25. That was a pain as I don’t like Shinada’s fighting style. Now I have to go up two more levels in order to unlock the health regen ability. 99.40% completion. I hope it won’t take me too long to finish up.

This year, Gameblog will hold its 2017 Gameblog Awards ceremony at the Moulin Rouge (yes, that Moulin Rouge). Our readers get to vote for the Reader's Choice Award and Yakuza 0 is on the list. As I am part of the Gameblog staff, I can't vote. But if you guys want to support the game (or any other game on that list), you can do so here: . The ceremony will be streamed online on December 19th. I tried my best to get Yakuza 0 nominated in the Action-Adventure category but it faced some strong competition this year and Yakuza isn't very popular in France (because of the lack of French subtitles).

Made the switch from the old forum (used to be "backflip" there). Glad to find everyone here. I managed to get 0's Platinum Trophy and the car chase on Legend difficulty almost made me give up. The only Platinum Trophy I'm missing is 5 but I'll probably never have time to go back to it (I did my first playthrough on Hard and thus I have to go through the story two more times and still have Akiyama's Colisseum fights to finish and they're too much of a pain). Spent like 25 minutes on Yakuza 6 at Paris Games Week and I loved it. Can't wait to play the full game.

The Golden Gun is usually pretty helpful when doing Trophy runs in Yakuza games. Since there are 4 characters in Yakuza 5, what kind of strategy did you use to do your Extra Hard run?

Me and my wife talk about this. From her perspective, ripped abs and oiled pecks are a male gaze fantasy, not a female one. She cites these images of Hugh Jackman, quite often: They're clearly marketed at different demographics and demonstrate the difference in general appeal. My wife's biggest man-crushes from video games are actually characters like Fenris from DA2, Regis from TW3: Blood and Wine, Kaz Miller from MGSV and - more recently - Connor from Detroit: Become Human.

Nintendo have been cutting their own groove in the industry for the last decade or more - I wouldn't expect them to enter the main competitive space with PS, XB and Steam and start chasing flagship western AAA properties (which appears to be the trust of the argument here). For me, the Switch makes way more sense when you accept it for what it is - and it's great - but demanding it to be something else is a quick way to feel frustrated.

Okay, my wording was wrong here - I was mocking his excuse that 'it was something we all said as kids', as in yeah, people do say dumb mean shit when they're too young to understand the ramifications. It's not an excuse for being a total shitbag when you're old enough to know better. This was not in anyway a defense of this asshat. And he shouldn't be retiring shitty-ass behaviour like this just because he's worried about his bottom line. He should be doing it because it's the right damn thing to do.

Totally agreed. When and where I grew up a base level of general homophobia, racism and sexism was just the norm. If he grew up in a similar sort of situation I can understand, we don't choose where or when we're born. But that's no excuse for a grown-ass man, who lives his life on the internet no less, to still be behaving that way decades later. That's not to say it's okay to be that way as a kid and if I heard any young person speak that way, I'd call them out. It always shitty, but when you're a kid you can at least say you didn't know better. His fucking excuse is dumb.

Thread: Dark Souls 1 seems to be looked upon fondly? I can't help but criticise it for all its flaws.
Remastered was my first time playing through DS1, having completed DS2, played two thirds through DS3 and platinumed Bloodborne. I can say it's among the best in the series and despite having some obvious signs of age, it's an incredible game. I even kinda love The Demon Ruins, for just being so obviously broken and incomplete that it's just amusing. It also has the most straightforward and unambiguous story that makes reasonable sense without reading 300 item descriptions and consulting Fextralife - after the general obtusity of latter games, it was actually rather a breath of fresh air.

For clarity all of the dev work is done in tandem on both PS4 & XB1. Both get submitted to 1st parties on the same date, but the fact of the mater is that the certification process on one platform for submissions and releases takes longer.

I've bumped our Steam dude about this again - I had been told that it would be the case that you desired so I'm checking up on that now. Unfortunately I can't comment on whether DRM will be removed at any point from any of our titles due to the sensitive nature of DRM discussions overall. Generally speaking though, in the Life is Strange team, we do always take our playerbase and community into consideration when making decisions and we don't take difficult decisions like this lightly. We always want to ensure that there is a very good reason for what we do (and in this case, a number of people in the various Denuvo threads have already guessed that reason, but they have unfortunately been ignored by others). As a side note - Denuvo was removed from BtS with episode 2's launch, in case you did skip that for that reason. That's not an indication of policies or anything we would do in future, but more an observation that we can indeed "think pragmatically" as you had requested.

Thread: Time to buy a new Monitor - UHD or Ultra wide?
Main question you have to ask yourself is how much you like to play older games. I had an ultra wide for a couple of years, it quickly became a secondary for me, I just play too many older titles that aren't supported. However, if you're only interested in bleeding edge latest releases, you should be fine. It's actually pretty damn cool when you the software supports it.

As I'm wrapping up Jack B. Nimble for Steam I went into planning mode on my next game (codename: ND1). And I'll be honest, I'm not entirely happy with the timescale that I've mapped out, especially based on how long previous projects have taken. My question is, how do you all feel about committing to long development cycles? Have any of you cancelled something you're passionate about just because you feel it would take too long to make? One thing I'm beginning to consider is partnering up with somebody - probably a blueprint expert, but not sure yet. For those interested, here's a bit of media from it:

Thanks for watching and wishlisting :) Regarding other platforms, I'm a little limited by the engine I use. There's currently an iOS port out there, which I plan to patch with some updates that I made to the game for the Steam version. Other than that though I don't have many options that won't cost me a bunch of cash as there aren't native exporters for suitable platforms (see: Vita and Switch). So for now PC & Mac will have to do. Speaking of which - I finally added the last of the required features to the game!

Yeah, I mean the biggest problem for me is that I don't to ship it. This is technically for fun - I'm only selling it to cover the Steam Greenlight fee. So I've just been polishing whenever I get the chance. Unfortunately because the core game code is so awful I wasn't really able to expand the game a great deal (outside of content). The iOS version? It did okay. It obviously didn't cover the time involved to build it (or Adobe bills) but it covered the yearly iOS fees, which was the goal. So that's cool. And I'll be honest, I'm hoping that the Steam version gets enough sales to cover the yearly cost of keeping the iOS version on the App Store. I'm just happy for the game to exist :)

I have one real task left to do on Jack B. Nimble, but I'm out of energy again :( Shipping a game that has been "in my life" for so long is so fucking tiring... especially when I know that not a whole lot will come from it (other than achievement). In other news I have just agreed to work on something with a friend... it's exciting to finally collaborate on something, so I feel that has something to do with my dwindling interest in my own game.

So I've spent the last couple of days porting Jack B. Nimble to Steam. It's going pretty well and I've just got a handful of tasks left to do while I wait for Valve to review the Steam page again. I say because they rejected the first attempt because my game's website () links to the game's itch.io page. This is something Valve say is classed as competition, even going as far as to call out the fact I reference that the game is available on iOS. I've looked around and found that many, many games use their itch.io page as an external website and numerous games even call out other ports within their Steam trailers. Was I just unlucky or are Valve becoming strict? Anyway, rather than just moaning, here's the capsule image for the Steam store :)

Yeah pixel art with normal maps can lead to some really odd results. While possible, it's not an easy process. Currently I'd say that the character sprite and background art are completely different art styles.

Just going to chip in on this - I'm in a similar situation (as the parts I've quoted). was never going to make money, but I didn't think it would. My only financial intentions were to cover whatever costs I could to support the . And it is a hobby. If I were to "bet the farm" and go all in on indie, there's absolutely no way I'd make a game like Jack B. Nimble, or rather I'd have made 5 or 6 of them at a lower quality with free to play model, rather than premium. But this is a hobby. I feel it's important to determine if you feel your game development endeavour is a living or a hobby. They require very different approaches and switching between the two compromises the design of your project. I realise I may have missed the original point here, but here's two cents either way. I've seen a lot of people lately sharing depressing postmortems or doom and gloom "indie is dead" articles. And it's not. It's just the bar has been raised. Good isn't good enough. If you're not making something extraordinary, leading the way or perhaps have prior success, then expect financial failure. Sorry, I wish I had a little more time to flesh this out - basically just some thoughts I've had for a Jack B. Nimble post mortem I don't currently have enough time to write :)

It's not a style that particularly resonates with me. However, if I was to try and be objective and offer critique, it would be that the character appears too clean in comparison to the detailed and gradient filled level art. Regarding the gradients, I feel they're not quite working. I'm struggling to understand the depth in each of the art elements, particularly the desk(?). I like the colours though - I could see these blending and popping with a little light bleed or bloom. Also, hello! First post, etc.

Thread: Cancelled and Unreleased Appreciation Thread
I highly doubt that EA will attempt reviving the franchise in anything like its traditional form, at least for PC. The series, and RTSs in general, never moved a lot of units relative to what a modern AAA game needs to justify its development. When EA closed Victory Games, it also laid off a lot of people who had been the vestiges of Westwood and had handled all of EA's strategy game output through the 2000s as EALA. I don't think there is an appetite creatively for, or a business case to support, reviving RTS development at EA in the near term. I expect EA might use the C&C IP for future mobile titles; seems like it would be a natural competitor to take on Mobile Strike. A longer shot would be licensing the IP out to Petroglyph to do something with, bringing it full circle, but I doubt EA is interested in that as the upside is marginal for them at best.

They run a smart business and at least in my experience struck a good balance between letting their studios operate autonomously while also providing high level direction and support. Jon Van Caneghem, the GM of Victory Games, was recruited personally by then EA CEO John Riccitiello and by virtue of that we had a lot of support early on. There were a lot of challenges throughout development, and we got caught up in some strategic changes - "Bioware Victory" and the F2P shift - that complicated matters. Ultimately, I don't think the numbers worked out (or ever really could given past performance for C&C titles) for EA to be interested in continuing development. It was painful at the time given how close we were to release by that point, but it seems like EA was intent on unwinding all of their non-mobile western F2P investments. Ended up biting me again on Shadow Realms :(

Thread: Cancelled and Unreleased Appreciation Thread
Hah, no worries. By the time we announced Shadow Realms the project had been in some stage of development for two years and the team felt pretty confident we had found the fun. There had been and still were questions around the IP, the positioning of the game, how it fit (or didn't) in Bioware's portfolio of titles, but the core gameplay loop was satisfying. People who got hands-on time with the game versus those who were just reacting to the trailer/gameplay videos had a generally positive sentiment, something that was borne out in focus groups and smaller playtests we had conducted. The morale of the team was pretty high, especially compared to my experience on C&C, and we felt good about what we were making at that point.

Thread: Do the terrible events today make you question the narratives of terrible events in history?
That's likely true of the public US education system in many areas, but I was lucky enough to attend (Jesuit) Catholic schools that didn't shy away from the US's legacy of systemic racism and oppression of minorities. There are schools out there who are teaching people who are lucky enough not to have live that legacy every day, to recognize their privilege and work towards a more just society. As outrageous as contemporary events have been in the United States, reading history has been a good way to maintain perspective when things seem hopeless. If you haven't had much exposure to other narratives of American history, I'd give "A People's History of the United States" a read: .

Dark Forces 2 is one of my all time favorite games, and I would love nothing more than another take on the Kyle Katarn story. For what it’s worth, I think there is better chance that Respawn’s or EA Vancouver’s game is in the Jedi Knight vein than we ever get a “KOTOR 3”.

Thread: The Job Search and Career Thread
It's usually a single payout that's something like one third of your annual salary. Because that could be quite expensive, though, some people think companies tend to avoid external recruiter candidates unless they're really desperate, and/or they low-ball them because of the increased cost. Additionally, even though the system is setup in a way where it's in the recruiter's interest to negotiate a higher salary for you, in reality they can still make more money (and reduce their risk of non-payment if things don't work out) by quickly placing more candidates, so maybe it's actually in their best interest to take low-ball offers and move on quickly. It's something to think about, at least.

No, they shouldn't cost money. Don't ever pay for that. Generally what happens is you talk with a recruiter who looks over your qualifications and expectations and then presents you to whichever of their clients that might need someone like you. The agency gets paid a percentage of your salary after you've been employed for three months, usually. It's done this way, I think, because it then becomes in their interest to negotiate a better salary for you so they get paid more for the placement.

To be honest, I kind of don't. Like, yeah, I'll spend plenty of time with games I like, but I don't feel bad if I buy something I don't end up liking or even playing (though to be clear, I'm not going out of my way to get that stuff) because I feel like I'm supporting my industry.

I read the rest of your post, but I didn't want to quote the whole thing. If I were you, I would move. I don't think your situation at your current company will change in six months, and I think they are just pulling your leg by telling that so that you'll stay for another six months before they tell you again that there's no budget. I wouldn't worry about the other place consisting of mostly assholes, either. It probably won't be the case, and even if it is, you don't have to stay there, either. You can just bounce after a while and take the higher salary.

This might be a fucked up thing to say, but I feel like The Cracked Podcast has been on the uptick in quality since Cracked laid almost everyone off. The shows are back down to an hour (whereas it almost ran for three before and felt super bloated), and the topics and guests have been more interesting. Seems to me like Brett Rader was probably the cause* of the quality drop before, since now he's gone, and things are sounding better. *Alex is still way worse than Jack as host, though.

I think the general consensus of what the biggest problem with this season here is that there were just too many people on the show for career/exposure purposes. I don't know if that's because there were more Americans this time—especially in the audience, and maybe that's what they think we want to see, based on our reality shows (which is what I see whenever I watch The Bachelor; no one is there for love, so whoever gets to be the bachelor for next season is the real winner)—but I definitely also felt that this season felt too "American" to me in a way I couldn't really put my finger on.

I think it was the fitness girl with the short hair who allegedly got told to leave, right? She was there for like no time at all, didn't really spend time with anyone, and then suddenly she got a phone call and left. And yet she was still more compelling that Wez.

Personally, I found Taishi to be more and more admirable as the series went on. At first, I was just like Kentaro ("he's insane"), but Taishi grew on me as a main character, especially in his interactions unrelated to his pursuit of love. Possibly this is due to how ass many of the other cast members were, though.

Just tried Ample. It tastes even more like oatmeal than Soylent (and, in my opinion, worse because it has way less sugar). I do kind of like that it comes with the powder in a bottle so you can mix it yourself, so maybe I'll try using milk instead of water to see if it improves the taste.

Make sure everything has CEC and just set those up to control the TV and audio. Sony TVs are nice because their menu can accommodate lots of HDMI inputs if they have CEC (they just show up with their device names instead of their port number). Welp, you're boned. No CEC on that.

It's probably easier to have a tangible group to blame. And if you do that, of course you choose the one with the lowest population so you can afford to lose their support.

So, having just moved from LA to the Bay Area, I've noticed that there seems to be a slight cultural difference in terms of perception of Asians. Here, it feels more integrated, whereas in SoCal, there's more a sense of "other," despite it being miniscule. On the other hand, it feels a lot more corporate here. Whereas down there, people would ask, "What do you do?" Here, it's, "Where do you work?" Like, your identity is tied to whichever megacorp employs you. Also, like every other car is a Tesla here.

They want me to start on April 9th, so I guess sometime before then. When do y'all have availability? How's busy season going? Worst case, I will probably be back most weekends for the first few months, since it's looking like I will go first, and my wife and son will come up later.

Ten Ren teas are generally good. My mom looked the fancy, really expensive ones, but I have no idea what those are called. There is one where the whole jar is silver, though.

Speaking of which, I was watching some pair figure skating, and NBC's coverage felt borderline jingoistic. "It's a great thing that the US team is ahead of China." Huh? "Here is the Israeli team. The US is still in the lead." And then they cut away into a replay of the American pair. What? Like, I know NBC coverage is ass, but it was never shit. Right?

Went to Tokyo Disneysea today. Here's a shot of the entrance plaza from the train station. Here's a shot after getting in. Toy Story mochi. It's a neapolitan set: one is filled with chocolate, one vanilla, and one strawberry custard. Seafood pasta set from a restaurant Another shot from the train station Triton's Castle Not Agrabah. Looks like it, but it's a generic Arabian theme. Unpainted Threepio parts Overall, the park is like a better put-together version of California Adventure. The theming is on point. The rides, however, are kind of ass. The waitress are longer, and the rides feel slower. Narration is completely in Japanese. Here's something I got from 7-Eleven just now.

Speaking of books, I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend Barry Eisler's John Rain series. The protagonist, John Rain, is a half white Asian-American who operates in Japan and actually gets plastic surgery to look more Asian to blend in. That aside, though, it's also an incredible suspense series.

I'm down. As you might remember, one of the problems we had at GAF was that a lot of posters felt it was a-okay to throw around casual racism toward Asians. I think them being able to pop in here and see that we really don't like that could help them understand that it's not okay. Also, we tend to get a lot of people who come in and are like, "Hey, I'm Asian but never knew about this thread," so it'd be good to get them in here, too.

I worked with someone who did coke (and other stuff) in the past. He was a cool person who suffered a lot of personal trauma all at once, and he turned to the nose candy, and it made him a completely different and unbearable person. I ended up helping him get another job so he could leave us alone. He's clean now, but we don't really talk anymore. One thing about your friend, though, if he'll still listen to logic: if he's all about money now, one thing to address is that the coke is going to drain the shit out of his finances, as he's going to need to buy more and more to get the same high.

The thing is they just have so much more leverage on internal candidates, since they know your current salary and know that what they'll offer you is better than what you currently have such that you will probably accept. Realistically, when it comes to a raise or promotion, your choices are just to take it or leave it, and they know you'll probably take it. I did it. I have a friend who did it, too, and we are both now making a lot more than we did before. That said, I wouldn't necessarily say I recommend it, but the amount of time I took to do interviews in the month or so that I was off likely would have gotten me fired if I'd taken it on company time. I also felt like I interviewed better, as well, since I didn't have to squeeze them out during lunchtime or something.

One thing I've never liked about this show (and lots of other shows, really) is that incredibly powerful beings will show up and just throw people around and/or use soft punches on the main characters, even though we've already seen them instantly kill things that are supposed to be stronger than the main characters previously. Like, Michael shows up and just backhands Castiel and shoves Sam into a wall. Just kill them, dude.

I like this season more than last, actually. While the Men of Letters is an excellent concept, it kind of falls apart in execution whenever they try to do anything with it. I think a major problem is that, for a group with so much knowledge and tech, it makes no sense that they would be wiped out. I also like that they adding a lot of new lore that no one knows about (even if I do have some quibbles about some of it). I think the only thing that isn't too my liking is that we hardly see regular monsters and new monsters anymore. It's just angels, demons, and the common werewolves and vampires. They haven't needed to do research in some time. Also, regarding the angel situation, what about reapers? Or are they not angels again?

I don't know. I thought that was a good-ass episode, even if it is light on the supernatural elements. It was a tad predictable about the blood, of course, but fetch quests are always kind of lame. Anyway, here's what I think will happen at the end of the season: Jack will fuck up Michael but will stop short of killing him. Then Michael will use this opportunity to really mess up Jack, but he will be killed right before he lands the final blow by Lucifer or Gabriel (I'm leaning Lucifer). Jack will then choose to stay in the alt-world to help out the people there, and we won't see him again. He's just way too powerful an ally to have around. Mary will probably also stay.

The thing is, Lucifer would have known, but perhaps he didn't really want to kill Gabe. That aside, though, here's what I'm thinking: "Asmodeus" is really Gabriel, and the fucked up dude in the cage is Asmodeus. His mouth is sewn shut so he can't tell anyone who he is. That's how Asmodeus can shapeshift like that, despite Lucifer never giving him that ability, and Lucifer is/was too weak to see through the ruse. That's also why he isn't afraid of Lucifer, who should be leagues and leagues beyond him.

Also, the actor looks a lot like Richard Speight, Jr. from certain angles. But yeah, it wouldn't be the first time ol' Gabe cosplayed as something that's supposed to be quite powerful but actually way weaker than him, and the first time, Castiel couldn't see through his trickster disguise, either. It's just that I don't really see what his motivation is here--particularly in wanting Jack to free those whatever things from the depths.

Oh yeah, so also, it looks like we might have some more clarification about the limitations of the Colt. Demons obviously know about it, and they also say that only an archangel's sword can kill an archangel (which isn't actually true, but I guess as weapons go, sure). So we now have two possibilities for the list of five things in Creation it cannot kill: 1. Archangel 2. ? 3. ? 4. ? 5. ? 1. Lucifer 2. Michael 3. Gabriel 4. Raphael 5. ? God and The Darkness obviously aren't part of Creation, so they wouldn't be on the list. Other possibilities include Death, Leviathan, and maybe whatever Asmodeus is trying to dredge up.

Well, going by season 5, we only knew that it can't kill Lucifer, and we had to guess that applied to the whole class of archangels, but now it seems to be confirmed, work Asmodeus and Ketch saying that only an archangel's sword can kill an archangel. And yeah. I'm not so sure it can't kill Death anymore. Regarding Leviathan, though, I think it's a strong contender for being one of the things because God had Metatron inscribe a whole tablet just to lay out how to kill them. I doubt He'd go through all the trouble if other things could do it. I do wonder if the Hand of God artifacts could be more powerful, though. Lucifer sure thought they could kill Amara, at least. I think of the weapons we've seen, their power ranking should shake out something like this: 1. Hand of God 2. Archangel sword 3. Death's scythe 4. The Colt 5. Angelic arsenal, including the Spear of Destiny 6. Angel blade 7. Ruby's knife

Yeah, that's new and kind of dumb. Even Lucifer was blocked by warding in season 11, and I don't want to think a few carpools of angels are stronger than him. This was as stupid as Metatron blowing away holy oil fire. But with all of these parallel worlds, it seems like archangels ain't shit anyway, if there are tons of them in other dimensions. I wonder if there is still only one God or one Darkness ruling over all of them.

Totally forgot about that. But God can revive angels and probably whatever else He wants, though, so He must have at least power there. "Nothing comes back from [the Empty]," but Castiel does a few times. Plus, if even a lesser being like Jack (who is albeit extremely powerful) can wake someone up there, I don't see why God or Amara couldn't. Maybe archangels are just heavy sleepers? Me, too. There are so many avenues to do it this season, too, given the Empty, Jack, and the alt world.

The thing is, that's nonsense, too. Sam and Dean are human. When they die, they'll enter the Veil, and then a reaper will take them to Heaven or Hell, as would happen with any other human. So they would actually still be around and be accessible if they are needed, as we already know that angels, demons, reapers, etc. can revive people whenever.

I really hope this new Death is temporary, much like non-Mark Pellegrino Lucifer. I wonder if archangels go to the Empty, actually. Remember when God said in season 11 that He couldn't just instantly revive archangels because whatever reasons? Seems like it wouldn't be a thing if He could just go to the Empty and just wake 'em up. Or maybe He just didn't feel like it and lied about it.

Wow, this was a damn good episode. S11 quality, easily. I can't say I'm too excited for Cas to be back already, though. We were finally getting some Sam-centric episodes, and I'm afraid it'll just go back to being the Dean Show, feat. Cas for another decade. But yeah, how about that Empty thing, eh? Looks like we get another being at God's level, and it seems like reapers know about him. Hopefully he wakes up Gabe. And I guess Death, if he really is dead. I think it's something necessary to tie up a loose end. Like, it's been established that everything goes somewhere when it dies--even monsters go to Purgatory. So it makes sense that angels and demons would go somewhere too when they die. Presumably other things go there, too, like Leviathans that actually die. Dick Roman is probably there.

Seven letters. ...Jessica? She'll need to start with a high base salary, so no game industry for her. As for popular names, my name I think is pretty popular (although baristas like to spell it every possible way, except correctly). It's not so bad. I think because of that I'm pretty comfortable using top ten names for my kids. I don't know. I think anonymity will be at a premium in the future, so a popular name will at least have that edge.

Yeah, it's definitely time to go. We waited until he had pretty much a full set of teeth, but the dentist actually said we should have gone earlier. If possible, try to find a dentist that specializes in pediatric care; it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Yeah, we were also told we should have been doing that, but of course we had no idea, so we didn't do it. Whoops. The dentist did say that we need to be brushing his teeth regularly, with toothpaste, though. We have Crest for Kids or whatever it's called. Brush twice a day with about a rice grain's sized amount of toothpaste. Dentist recommended morning brushing breakfast (so the fluoride lasts longer), and don't let him fall asleep with a bottle in his mouth, as the milk can leak onto his teeth and cause problems. Breastfeeding he says is also not okay, but we kind of didn't listen. Some online research indicated that it might actually be okay, since the nipple doesn't leak unless it's being suckled. There are also two important sources for fluoride: topical and systemic. Topical is from brushing with fluoride toothpaste, and systemic is from fluoridated drinking water. Be aware that reverse osmosis water filters will remove fluoride, so that's something you might want to check. Our system is RO, so I'm a little concerned that he isn't getting enough systemic fluoride, which plays a role in growing healthy teeth.

If you have the new diaper in hand already, just quickly hold it over his penis. Don't worry about the urine falling down; the diaper is absorbent enough that that won't happen (or it already did, and you're doing laundry). Otherwise, if the old diaper is still on but just open, just close it as fast as you can.

If I were to guess, your next session will consist of a panel of interviews with people of various levels and disciplines, which will require a lot of people's schedules to sync up before it can be scheduled. That's most likely why it takes so long. The only thing throwing it off is the "soon," which could possibly be a bad sign (as opposed to a set or even vague timeframe when you should hear back). I've read that it's good practice to ask about next steps and when to expect them in each interview. But, really, there no way to tell what's really going on. I'd give another week and follow up.

I think it's situational. In my experience, if they come to you with an opportunity, it's worth it because that means the company hired them to find someone and they found you. But on the other hand, I've never had luck when approaching them, and I don't like ceding control to them regarding where they apply me to. They're paid for by the company, so they don't take your pay. It's worth keeping in mind that they are incentived to move as many people as possible, so they might not have your best interest in mind when negotiating compensation.

I mean, I did it, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. If you truly are miserable, though, it could come through during your interviews. The silver lining is that you also get a lot more time to focus and do interviews. I'd recommend getting your certs while you're still working, if possible.

I've done a few of these recently. I think the biggest thing is to have in your head at least three or four stories from your experience regarding things like critical thinking, conflict resolution, great successes and failures, collaboration, pushing back against management, and so on. Personally, I would write these down. I never look at what I wrote, but it keeps it fresh in my mind. Also, while there aren't going to be many technical questions on hard skills, remember that there will still be some, so don't neglect them as you prepare for the behavioral stuff.

When you do this, you should copy all the questions from other people who interviewed for the position from Glassdoor and then . I've found that they never actually ask me any of those questions, but it helps a lot for prepping for their questions in general, and you might be able to bring in some information from one of those answers you wrote down for something else.

I wasn't expecting to leave my job the way I did and felt/feel betrayed by my former boss. I also have a wife and son, so there's extra pressure on me to get something as soon as possible.

Thank you! Congrats to you as well! It'd be from LA to SF, so it's not too far, and the company does provide a generous relocation package. They want to move things along very quickly, though, so the logistics will be tough. I'll probably have to go up before my wife and son, and then we'll need to figure out what to do with our house. Plus, we have dogs, so that's another thing to deal with. Group as in group of applicants? Or do you mean you'll be talking with a group of interviewers? I have no experience with the former, but if it's the latter, most likely one person will do most of the talking, but try to at least address everyone.

DMC3 is chronologically before all the other games, though. Dante and Vergil are young and inexperienced then, but by the time DMC4 rolls around, Dante is 100% fucking around, and nothing is a threat to him. Heck, it's telling that the final boss of Bloody Palace is him! Yeah, I think it doesn't help that Nero's DT brings out a huge spirit that follows him around while using Yamato. It's not hard to see that it's Vergil in spirit form.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, since there's another human who's still alive. Most likely scenario in my head is that the game opens on a demon outbreak, Nero swings into action, and then that scene happens. Nero starts with the new arm so you don't start at full power, and we see him losing his arm via flashbacks.

Despite the absolute inventory management system, I really liked Xenoblade 1. I never ended up finishing it, though, because it felt like, at a certain point, they just tried to dump every single JRPG subsystem that exists onto the player, and I got overwhelmed by it all. There are individual growth trees, skills, equipment, gems/accessories, freaking crafting, lots of characters, character relationships, side quests, town building, random treasures, etc. It was just too much.

There was that early thread ("early" being like a week ago) that asked if you often used "guys" as a catch-all term to mean everyone, and I said I didn't. But since then, I've realized that I actually do and just never thought about it, and now I try not to for real.

So, I know FF6 isn't the first to do it, but it really is the one for me where all of the characters started to feel same-y. I think of it has to do with the magic system, where everyone can learn every spell, and magic is far and away the most useful thing in the endgame (barring ridiculous things like X-Strike with Atma Weapon). It feels like, even though there are a lot more characters, your party setup doesn't really matter, unlike with, say, FF4, where every character is very distinct.

Can I just say that I'm waiting for TPCi to respond regarding it being banned. There have been episodes i nthe past that have been delayed beyond their initial airing order. For example: XY078: Lights! Camera! Pika! was skipped in the west and not aired until months later until between XY089: The Frolicking Find in the Flowers & XY090: Tag Team Inspiration! We have no evidence at this time of it actually being banned and it's shoddy journalism and work to say it is at this point Also, there was an Advanced Generation episode banned globally and a Black & White pair of episodes banned globally, with another delayed.

No. The anime seldom makes reference to the remakes. We have titles up to mid July. We still have many Ultra Beasts, the Poipole Arc, the Necrozma arc, the Poni Island trials, the Alola League to get through, plus Ash & Kiawe filling out a team for the league. There's not enough time. There's space for 18 episodes, assuming no breaks. If they did nothing but this at an accelerated pace, they'd still not make it. The next year will still be Sun & Moon, in which they've already returned to Kanto. Then it'll move to Gen 8

I'm of the belief that maybe the original idea for Let's Go was intended to be on mobile, as that sort of style fits mobile well. However, Nintendo obviously wouldn't allow for a full fledged Pokémon game to be on mobile. Ishihara has thankfully said Gen 8 will look great graphically so fingers crossed.

Random encounters aren't necessarily bad. Hell, technically this is random encounters. A Pokémon spawns and has X% chance of being Kakuna or Oddish or Caterpie etc. and then will leave and a new one spawns etc. So it's still random encounter, we just see it spawn before encountering :) I'd be happy if this was an element from Let's Go that carried over to Gen 8

The anime is irrelevant to this. I didn't go back and forth with Manaphy either. All I said is that technically you got the event for it before Diamond & Pearl. It was the same with Magearna too A Pokémon is part of the generation from which the first mainline game it is available in. Therefore this Pokémon will be from Generation 7.

Yes, the way that the anime, a marketing tool for the games, marketed something ahead of a game launch is bloody irrelevant to the inclusion of a Pokémon into a main line Pokémon game. Or maybe I'm basing it on something else. Rather than go in for an attack why don't you consider that?

If we didn't know Gen 8 was coming next year, I'd probably be jumping in with the doom & gloom. However, seeing as how my nephew struggled to get into Gen 6/7 (to the point I wrote this for NintendoLife , even suggested catching Pokémon like in GO, though I wanted wild battles still), I see it as a necessary evil to increase the userbase as even though people bash Game Freak for having such a view, kids do have lower attention spans and even some lower capabilities than when we were young. As long as the casualisation doesn't invade the core core series and remains in the Let's Go core series, I'm happy.

In 2015 they absorbed mobile company "Koa Games" so that could have helped but, according to their own website (), they had 143 as of April 2018 However, I believe this is an error on Eurogamer's part. They probably said 300 are working on the game. That'd include staff at Nintendo who help with netcode etc., and staff at Creatures Inc. who do the modelling not to mention the localisers at Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International.

The community is so welcoming to a point.

During that weekend, they increased Tauros spawns, brought Kangaskhan over, and brought the Unown letters W, O, R, L, D & S to be around the Anaheim convention center and it was INSANE These are all people playing GO around the Convention Center just as the event ended. There were raids continually cycling (the Legendary Birds were in their final week so all 3 Kanto ones and Lugia were possible). I did a raid with Game Freak staff, people ran when an Unown spawned around. It was constantly lured. It was great. I would not be surprised if they do that again

Yeah you just need to compare the events of this year to the events of last year. It shows there's a lot of do. Adventure Week 2017 had increased Rock-type spawns and a new hat Adventure Week 2018 had increased Rock-type spawns, new shinies of Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, Kabutop & Aerodactyl, Special Rock-type Raid Battles, Special Field Research focused on Rock-type Pokémon and special item boxes to encourage people to spend money to keep playing. This was compounded by the release of Shiny Ho-Oh as a Legendary Raid battle chance which also caused people to do more Raid Battles.

I mean it all depends how the data is being framed. After Summer 2016, it dropped to around 60m MAU. If it went up to 75m MAU, which is still impressive, then the title is still accurate. PLUS, it's no surprise that May 2018 did better than May 2017. They have gone full hog in the events, to entice people to pay & play, with their own special bundles. Shiny Legendary Pokémon have been a thing which have majorly got people buying Premium Raid Passes. Plus Community Day encourages people to get out and go, with a special item bundle for more. It's a devious and genius thing Niantic have done. It encourages play and it encourages pay.

They’re being used in VGC competitions. Seriously though due to how VGC works with teams and builds constantly being cycled, the likelihood of full shiny teams is minimal and is often an indicator. The majority of VGC players do unfortunately break the rules but unless it’s blatant (illegal move, ball etc) their hack check just can’t pick it up and their manual hack check has had so many errors itself in the past that I had to notify them of that it’s not really easy to spot

The VGC community is generally accepting of rulebreaking, hence the amount of people who hack. It doesn't matter if they're "indistinguishable", it's still against the rules and I have little to no respect for anyone who does it and those who attempt to justify it. Rules are rules and to be enforced. It sucks that Alberto did it, and he should have known better but it is what it is. Seen so many people jump on the guy who reported it. The notion of "snitches get stitches" is ridiculous. Was it a dick move out of jealousy? Perhaps. However, rules were broken and the fact that cliques are a thing and try to stop rule breaking being reported and jump on those who report it is a bit silly

CP is just an indicator of stats and is heavily weighted due to a weird calculation. There are numerous instances where a more useful Pokémon has lower CP

Na. It was loved after ORAS hit. 2015 had CHALK (Cresselia, Heatran, Amoonguss, Landorus, Kangaskhan). 2016 has Kangaskhan often teamed with the Primals too. However, when Sun & Moon hit, Parental Bond got nerfed from the second hit being 50% to 25% and Power-up Punch was ripped away from it in the VGC meta causing it to be a lot less viable.

Unless you plan ahead for it or are ridiculously overleveled 10+ levels above the previous boss you just faced, plus stat boost in each stat (which is already ridiculous). People who didn't know of it and didn't plan ahead get wiped

People were expecting lots based on nothing. This wasn't a "relaunch" I think that'd be for games like Pokémon and Animal Crossing where the ability to backup and reload your saves would break your game. Pokémon and Animal Crossing already have similar restrictions on the 3DS (you can't load a backed up save that's older than your current one) and so forth, on Gamecube you couldn't move those saves to other memory cards etc.

I do think too many people are sleeping on the classic games element. Included in the subscription we have these classic games, with added online features, all for no extra cost, with more to be added regularly including SNES and probably more consoles. That's huge and would have been worth the price alone in my view. It's pretty much what we've wanted for a long time, just wish it didn't have the dripfeed, but I get why.

He's not even a week in his new position. And they do that, hence Bayonetta, Metroid Prime etc. Nintendo just want to show the games being at their top form really. Nothing wrong with that. I'm personally fine with it. I actually get sick of games being announced and it being years and years before anything comes of it. Remember the 2015 Sony announcements people went crazy about?

2016 & 2017 nailed it when you look at the reactions to what they showed, look at how packed their E3 booth was and various other things. 2018, as was said, had the most discussed elements be from Nintendo's reveals. Try actually considering E3 for what it is, a trade show, not an internet ego competition. Not everything has to cater exclusively to you. When did I say that? I'm just saying your facts and logic was flawed.

Nintendo treat it exactly like a trade show. They hold closed doors briefings for media and business partners. They have places to try upcoming products. That's what a trade show is, not live presentations. Look at how E3 was. The pomp and circumstance of the "live presentations" with endless canned cheering and buzzwords is not a trade show. That has been capitalised upon as the Internet progressed because they knew fanboys on Internet forums like this lap it up. It has nothing to do with press or business. Also, UX updates etc. are irrelevant to a trade show where they show their upcoming products and belong in Directs etc. Come on, you're just clamouring for reasons to be negative now.

Nintendo manage to publish at least 1, if not 2, titles a month for the Switch, many of which are developed in house or overseen inhouse. At least 2 of these a year are big titles. Not even Ubisoft or Activision have this level of output and you're telling me it's not enough? Nintendo are doing fine and are keeping up.

But how many of those titles are Sony made, and Microsoft made? You're splitting hairs here. You're wanting Nintendo to not just be Nintendo but to cover the realm taken by Activsion, Ubisoft, EA etc. which is unrealistic. If Nintendo's production pipeline is struggling? How the hell is Microsoft's doing?

Let's Go is mainline. Don't quibble with that. Game Freak say it. Nintendo say it. The Pokémon Company say it. Just because you don't like it or its mechanics doesn't mean it's not mainline. Ok, let's go back to X & Y. 3DS was at 42 million as of December 31st 2013, which is a bit higher than the projected 37 million by end of FY. In the two and a half months from launch to that point, X & Y had sold 11.1 million units.

The treatment of the characters in and around Halo 4 would make Geroge Lucas the new Shakespeare in comparison. It's a damm mess. And yeah, Didact isn't dead, comes back, uses a half dozen Composers, Chief and Blue Team beat him, composes him. It's as much as a resolution as actual Halo 4 ending. It's a mess. And come Halo 5 it's all ignored. Completely. And this isn't some b-team or side characters. It's damm Chief. And the main Halo 4 protagonist.

I can't quite tell what I'm "supposed" to be doing or if I'm over-thinking things, so I've never crossed the hump where it just feels natural. Maybe someone here can help me understand better - Since people love gyro controls once they get used to it, I'm realllllly looking forward to getting over the learning curve.

Thread: The Americans - S6 - The Final Season of the Keri Russell / Matthew Rhys spy drama - FX Wednesdays
I love that this finale was everything that I hoped for yet nothing I expected. The scene with Stan and the Jennings was just incredible. I also loved Paige's decision in the end - she finally stood up for herself and made a decision to control her own life. There's nothing for her in Russia, and she's willing to face the risks of staying back in the US even if she might get in trouble with the FBI. Also: I get why no one hurt or killed each other in the garage. Sure, Philip and Elizabeth were ruthless killers throughout the series, but they were always doing so because they thought they were fighting for what's best for their country. By the last episode, that excuse was no longer there. Before that, they would kill for their country and/or for self-preservation, but at that final moment in the garage, their only excuse for killing would be for self-preservation, and it would utterly destroy Paige and Henry along the way. In addition to Stan, who's genuinely their friend.

That's not in character with the show at all. I'm expecting the show to end on a muted and more ambiguous note, much like the entire show has been so far. I doubt there will be any big revelations or deaths of major characters. It'll instead focus on the relationships which go up in flames, and perhaps even Stan and others remaining suspicious without any conclusive proof in the end.

Man, serves me right for trying to find a free / different way to watch this show. I don't expect to get a commercial-free experience while watching the show for free of course, but I was willing to pay for a month or two of DirectTV Now or SlingTV at ~$30-35/month to watch The Americans and a couple other shows. But I forgot that even in the world of paying a lot of money for cable it still comes with ads, regardless of whether it's through Comcast or an over-the-top service like these. Plunked down $25 to just buy the season pass outright. Started watching with no ads immediately. Ahhhhhhhhhh

But that defeats the entire purpose of NPD, which is to give the industry sales numbers from North America which are as accurate as possible. Not to give people on message boards fodder to argue about which exclusive sells the best. The more digital sale information that's available, the better. Regressing and going back to retail only doesn't help anyone - especially not the industry members who pay for that data.

Thread: Starbucks is eliminating plastic straws from all stores
Even with plastic straws, using them with hot drinks is a really stupid idea. It's extremely dangerous to slurp up hot drinks with a straw, and Starbucks will not give you a straw with any hot drinks today. Yes, I'm absolutely serious. Disabled customers and others with any sort of special needs undoubtedly make up a significant portion of Starbucks' customer base. Big corporations like Starbucks regularly use consultants who know how to design their stores and systems specifically to ensure that customers with all sorts of different special needs can easily navigate their stores, buy their merchandise, and use their products. The idea that Starbucks would institute such a massive change across the world, and take those customers into consideration, is extremely unlikely.

A perfect "final exam" in which you used everything you've learned previously to execute in one final sequence, built up with a ton of drama along the way. Trial and error isn't inherently a bad thing as long as you can restart instantly, and as long as the whole sequence from beginning to end isn't too long once you know how to beat it - exactly what Ori did.

I have absolutely no insight into this specific listing or anything anyone is doing from either company to fix this if it needs to be fixed. But usually publishers are entirely in control of what they publish, where they publish it, and when. Most storefronts offer tools to developers to configure exactly what they want to configure. So if this listing is a mistake, then it comes down to whether it was a mistake that Nordic themselves made, or whether it was a mistake someone at Microsoft made, before deciding what happens next or if anyone should be compensated for anything.

This is how I understand it too, but I hope it doesn't end up coming back and being a problem again. It would be annoying if the show basically ignores the protomolecule on the Roci for an entire season except for it being used to have Miller communicate, only for it to conveniently end up becoming a massive problem at the worst possible time later.

Man I love this show so much. Everyone mentioned how great every character is, but no one specifically mentioned Ashford. I love how they subverted my expectations completely with Ashford. Yeah he did shitty stuff at the end but I’m so happy he respected Drummer, genuinely did want what’s beat. I was completely expecting mutiny and I’m so happy it didn’t happen.

Man this season is killing it. I love the attention to detail, and even the quieter moments on the Behemoth were so good! Can someone remind me what the previous "speed limit" was inside the ring, and what it changed to? I may have mis-read but I thought the change was so huge that it would squish even people who were buckled in.

Man, watching this show in glorious high-bit-rate 1080p (or maybe it's even 4k?) in my season pass after watching the live version from SyFy is a total revelation. I watched one episode of The Expanse through PlayStation Vue, and another episode through YouTube TV on Xbox One, and it looked just Ok in both places. But even worse was that both only stream the show in 2.0 stereo, which just makes the whole show feel "smaller". And it's tinny / compressed 2.0 stereo too. But watching on Amazon or Microsoft Movies & TV on my Xbox - it just looks so damned good. A best part is no "FORGET YOU! FORGET YOU!!!" coming from Holden.

Imporvements have stagnated a little bit in the last couple weeks but that's the nature of early access and software development - sometimes attempted fixes have unintended consequences and end up regressing other things.

Finding weapons is a lot easier than finding a vehicle, and the advantage you get from finding a vehicle (especially very early in the game) is substantially higher than the advantage you get from finding the best rifles.

The nature of software - especially unfinished software in preview - is that your experience can vary substantially from those of others due to a variety of circumstances. Whether because of which Xbox device you're using, or whether you're on Ethernet vs. Wi-Fi, or where you are in the world, or which servers you're connecting to, or how strong and fast of a connection you have, or otherwise. It's legitimately possible for you to be 100% correct about your impressions while other people are 100% correct about never having significant problems with bullets failing to register when you shoot someone. If it's so bad for you that you consider it broken, even considering its Preview state, that really sucks, and I hope you've asked Customer Service for a refund. Or I hope it improves for you soon. But I personally have played for 15-20 hours now including getting one 1st place finish after 9 kills in a single round, and while I certainly have issues now and then with unnaturally low frame rates or rubber banding, I can confidently say I've never once experienced an issue where I clearly shot someone and that shot didn't register.

PhysX is a generic hardware-agnostic licensable API that any developer can use for any game, just like Havok and others. There's no reason not to use it on AMD hardware. It's just that PhysX can also be simulated via hardware on NVIDIA chips, but that doesn't make it worse than Havok or other solutions on non-NVIDIA hardware for basic stuff.

I wouldn't call Game Pass on PC today an "exploit". It's completely intentional and fully supported that Play Anywhere games like Sea of Thieves, Gears of War 4, and State of Decay 2 are available to Game Pass subscribers on PC. But at the same time, it's true that Game Pass hasn't really launched on PC today. Game Pass is not marketed to PC players because there aren't too many PC games available on the service. You're still obviously welcome to subscribe to the service if there are enough Play Anywhere games which interest you, and you'll be fully supported along the way in terms of technical ability to play those games, but Microsoft isn't acting like Game Pass is intended for PC gamers right now.

Couple follow-up questions: 1) Could it be that megabits vs. megabytes is what you're seeing? Megabits is what the UI shows for speed (mb/sec) since that's how ISPs advertise, while the download size is shown in megabytes (capital-MB) since that's the common notation for size. So if you're downloading at a speed of 60mb/sec that translates to 7.5 MB/sec in download size. I believe the PS4 and Steam both show MB/sec instead of mb/sec. 2) If that's not the issue, which UI surface are you looking at - the Games & Apps collection and download queue, or the store itself on a particular game's description page? They all pull from the same underlying data but there could be a display bug hiding somewhere in one or both of them. 3) Finally, which games are you seeing it with? All or just some? With that info I can follow up with some people to see if there are any known issues around download speed display.

Just FYI, it might take a few minutes for the download on PC to get underway since it needs to process a bunch of stuff first. It makes it look like the download is "stuck" sometimes, and it can sometimes happen in the middle of a download too. Resetting the store or running PowerShell commands won't fix this specific issue. You'll be able to confirm if you're running into this issue by opening Task Manager and looking for or using a lot of CPU / disk resources. The workaround to this particular issue is to just let it do its thing and wait a few minutes.

Yes. Specifically, the Xbox One X has always done down-sampling by default on 1080p TVs for all games which render at higher resolutions. The X was also designed from the outset to make every game load faster and run better by default, regardless of whether those games were further enhanced by the developers. There is no boost mode or down-sampling option because they're always there automatically on the X, and there's no reason to ever disable them.

If it's anything like the PS4 Pro version it'll offer both options - enhanced visuals or high frame rate. I just finished the game on PS4 Pro and preferred Enhanced Visuals since the game doesn't really benefit from increase frame rate much, while its presentation was absolutely stellar and I didn't want to reduce that. Even on my 1080p TV.

Thread: Instant Pot thread
It's time for a brief discussion on ! For whatever reason, it seems like these recipes are all over the place. Some recipes recommend twice as much time as others. I'm very close to sea level so the conditions aren't out of the ordinary. For example, says 4 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, 5 minutes for hard-boiled eggs, at high pressure. But when I tried those timings I ended up getting eggs where the whites aren't solid at all. The entire thing was just a gooey mess inside including the non-solid whites. After much experimentation and browsing, I finally found this which worked perfectly: 1 cup of water, 12 minutes, low pressure, drop in an ice bath when done. Perfect eggs!

Thread: Microsoft please fix your patch sizes
On Xbox One, all game and OS updates will automatically download in standby. If you're not seeing that happen - and you're not in Preview, where things work a little differently - feel free to reach out to Xbox Support or even just DM me any time and I can pass along a note so we can get to the bottom of it. Again - things are often different if you're in preview. When you're in the preview program, updates aren't just released more frequently, there is also a shorter amount of time between the update's release and the time in which it is pushed to everyone and you need to install it before using your console. And while I know this thread is about game patch sizes, not just OS updates, they do affect each other because if you're installing OS updates more frequently, it means that there is less opportunity to automatically download the game updates in the background.

The Expanse is a show about a relatively near-future where humans have colonized Mars and a few other areas of the solar system. All of the technology used in the show is very realistic, there's no "warp drive" or anything like that in the show which conveniently solves transportation problems, and it mostly revolves around the political machinations of three primary groups of people:New discoveries throw the tepid balance between the three factions out of whack, and people get caught up in things they don't understand. But the way they handle technology in the show, political movements, dialog between characters, and other areas is extremely well written and really refreshing compared to so many other shows.

I think it's more of a need for Brooker to work with some more people on ideas and scripts to prevent the next season from getting too homogeneous. The "Cookie" stories are getting a little played-out.

I can only speak for myself of course, but I personally think that the CW's promotions are absurdly terrible. My wife and I watch only a few shows on the CW - Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Whose Line is it Anyway, and Crazy Ex Girlfriend. Whenever we're watching those shows and ads come on for other CW shows, they all look . Even something like Jane The Virgin which I hear is great but I've never watched is advertised horribly. But the superhero shows especially are just so unappealing in every way they're advertised. The acting looks like crap. The story lines the ads try to promote all seem cliched and overwrought. The effects they show look absurdly cheap and laughable. And the editing and music which pulls them all together makes them seem like they're pulled straight out of two decades ago. I completely acknowledge that these shows might be good. I'm only speaking about how they're promoted and what my wife and I think every single time we see ads for them. Superhero fatigue from endless Marvel/DC movies doesn't really help either. And I'm sure other people think the exact same thing about Crazy Ex Girlfriend, considering its terrible live viewership ratings. So the CW is not doing itself any favors.

The only HDMI issue I (thought I) had on my Xbox One X is when I would start getting flashes of static every time I tried to watch Netflix, HBO Go, or anything else which activated HDCP. But then it turned out to be a problem with my receiver, not my Xbox at all. And simply power cycling my receiver fixed it. So it might be worth checking on whether your receiver is acting up too.

I think it simply depends on what you use more. I like my PS4, but I honestly believe the UI is one of the worst parts of it. Managing my game collection is a pain in the butt, it's never clear to me which games are installed vs. which are in my library but not installed, and installing stuff from my library takes way too many clicks and screen transitions. Then there's the settings UI. I still don't get why downloads and updates are buried under "settings" so I always forget where to look. Settings themselves are really difficult to navigate. Friends lists, chat UI, and adding friends is just "off" to me and I'm not used to how to do it, and on and on. I'm sure I'd get used to everything if I used it more, but in its current incarnation, the Xbox One UI is absolutely fantastic IMO. Especially what the team did with the guide.

I got my 55" LG OLED B7 last Friday and spent all weekend playing with it - such an incredible TV! Everything from 1080p content to 4k to HDR content looks stunning. I understand that I should use the TV's apps instead of the Xbox apps since the TV supports Dolby Vision. Is there any Dolby Vision content I can try outside of Netflix? I haven't (yet) upgraded my Netflix plan so for Netflix I only get 1080p / SDR for now. What about on Amazon Prime or YouTube?

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
I finally take delivery of my B7 later this week. I plan to hook up my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X directly to it and pass the audio via optical to my receiver, since my receiver doesn't support 4k / HDR, and then the rest of my devices which don't support 4K or HDR will be hooked up right to the receiver. Is there any good tutorial anyone can recommend specifically tailored to the B7, including what all of the settings are? For example, I was reading about 4:4:4 support and apparently on the B7/C7 it's called "HDMI ULTRA HD deep color". I've also read a bunch of scattered stuff here about automatic brightness limiters on the LG OLEDs, and am well aware of the image persistence or burn-in concerns, and I don't think my own usage patterns will cause problems. I'm more just looking to understand which settings I should focus on, what I should try configuring, etc.

Thanks all.

The "public" in this case is Trump's base. The law doesn't care.

You’re right to a point but it’s amazing how many delusional half-cocked “foodies” will go bankrupt trying to create nouvelle cuisine and farm to table elegance when they could be making bank selling sandwiches. Restaurants are a shitty business and the plainest proof of that is that celebrity chefs rarely invest their own money and often act as licensors rather than chefs. Literally much safer to put your money in an interest bearing account.

I have a feeling Kavanaugh is going to withdraw. His money issues are likely the tip of an iceberg that neither he nor the GOP want to expose. How come a grocery store can get a background check on an employee in two days but the GOP can't seem to find anyone who isn't a dirtbag (pitchers' mount)?

And Britain is only mildly more dignified in terms of leadership and planning right now, than the US.

This kind of thing has been bothering me for a while - trying to apply rational descriptions to the actions of trump and his people - as if Trump just genuinely likes Putin and is ignoring advice because he disagrees with it. He's ignoring advice because he is highly compromised - to such a degree that he paraphrases Putin rather than inject his own thoughts. He's terrified of whatever that kompromat is. It must be incredibly bad - but that could also just be colossally criminal tax returns rather than some pee soaked snuff tape. But whatever it is, it is deciding our policy towards Russia.

I was once ejected from the rooftop pool at the Hyatt Regency Shinjuku, initially for having a shoulder tattoo of the St. Andrew’s Cross flag (Scotland) and the legend, “Scotland Forever” emblazoned under it. The pool lady insisted I wear a giant band aid to hide it, because “Tattoos are for criminals and are very dirty.” THEN it escalated to the fact that I was not wearing a bathing cap. Which was absolutely bizarre, since I am as bald as a dolphin. I complained to management and they said she was new and didn’t know about how gross gaijin are.

I'm not even touching the racism aspect because it's more likely than not, but most pools are especially concerned with because of the number of vectors they can carry so I'll just say that socks and hats are not equivalent in this setting. That's why so many pools have small disinfectant pools you have to Wade through first. Brought to you by the Athlete's Foot and Wart Society. I have never in my life seen someone wearing socks in the pool. I would assume they were hiding something.

Thread: The Republican Party has not been taken over by racists and fascists
I think there’s an ever-shrinking cadre of people who maybe had an idealized vision of what being a republican meant - George Will, I think is a genuinely honest example of that, but it’s becoming ever-harder to find another example - Romney might have been it, but he kissed the ring, was humiliated and STILL continues to pretend that the Trump administration isn’t an incompetent Manchurian experiment simply to secure enough Trumpers to get him a Senate seat he literally feels entitled to. John McCain - flushed his legacy down the topilet by vacillating between fighting against Trumpism, but supporting most of it with his vote. Lindsay Graham almost flipped - but was very obviously offered something, blackmailed or paid off a few months ago. Not ONE republican is doing anything about Nunesm McConnell and the like. The only people saying anything (Flake for instance) have nothing to lose, and still aren’t standing up to this. Every day that goes by, Putin gets fantastically more than he ever dreamed - because he underestimated how wretched and vile the GOP has become - and how cheaply it can be bought. It’;s very obvious that fundraising and the NRA are both deeply compromised - and crimes (Nunes being an easy example) are happening IN PLAIN SIGHT. The Dems are still clinging to the false hope that the GOP can normalize - but all that does is fuel the both sides nonsense - the media as usual is pretending that things are OK - frankly the media is complicit in what is happening to our democracy, and that’s working in Putin’s favor too. Unless a lot of people actually end up in jail after this, then we are on a path that could easily turn into a spiral, very quickly.

A nice easy bit of math for those folks would be: We’re going to give you $77 - and we’re going to inflate the rest of your bills by two or three hundred bucks and oh yeah we’re going to offshore or automate your job next year.” Be great if people realized that they don’t have to be a republican permanently - if the GOP is being shitty, the only way to alter it is with your vote. If you want the old party back, vote against it once or twice. That’s how you can make your vote powerful. It’s not a football team where you support it through thick and thin.

The wealthy intellectuals you’d hope would drive for moderation have instead embraced the reality that left to its own devices, the GOP was doomed to demographic failure, but they see that it can be extended, perhaps indefinitely, through nationalism, racism and extreme court-driven gerrymandering. But that’s a nonsense for the average voter. If only those who genuinely, meaningfully benefitted from republican tax policy voted, they’d lose in the greatest landslide and lop-sided vote in legit political history. The numbers would look like the North Korean election.

The title contains one term I object to - which is “we” - as if there’s some new plurality of rational dissent. What ultimately drives the “controversy” about Last Jedi is a temporary (I hope) abberation. First position: There is no controversy and it’s just a typical movie where a lot of people liked it and a reasonable number of folks disliked it because it just wasn’t their thing, or reasonable run of the mill movie complaints, or because they imagined it going in a different direction than it did. Big whoop, that’s art after all. Second position: A group of organized brigaders, defined by loneliness and malleability, working themselves into an misogynist and racist froth based on imagined sleights and agreed upon outrages that is then expressed not just in organized critical response, but actual organized doxxing and attacks on individuals.

Thread: Bicycle ERA |OT| This Is Why
I got in a crazy argument with someone at work about this. Middle aged guy in not great shape was looking to start mountain biking in the summer. He’d never done it before and was last on a ten speed steel road bike more than a decade ago. So I suggested some easy rolling trails and parks to learn the basics of cadence, braking and tabletopping, etc. And I suggested he look at a decent quality hardtail with front suspension, because: A) On an $800 Trek or similar hardtail, you could ride practically any trail just fine. Certainly every single beginner course. B) If he didn’t like it, the hardtail would make much more sense as a commuter/cruiser C) If he got into it - he could upgrade or start a collection. My other colleague went nuts though, and was exasperated that I wouldn’t recommend a full suspension Trek/Cannondale/Scott etc. And honestly I think there’s something to be said for learning what terrain does to suspended and rigid bike geometry through your body. There’s good muscle memory lessons to be learned from feeling those impacts and geologies.

Thread: Annihilation |OT| A Shimmer Out Of Space [Spoilers]
Thanks to Ghos for pointing me to the real thread! Oh my god. That was unexpected and astonishing. While it had a bunch of genuinely dread-filled scares, I can’t think of it as anything other than pure sci-fi, and one of the most genuinely alien “aliens” ever put on screen. In fact, I love the movie’s message that it might not actually be an organism at all - but a phenomenon - like weather or gravity. And I can’t tell you how giddy I was when the movie didn’t end at the lighthouse. What happens from that point on is INCREDIBL:E. Full disclosure: I had a flicker of disappointment when the eyes changed color (dumb horror trope) but even that was a powerful twist//inversion of the trope - because it reframed everything that happened with the reflective biped: She didn’t defeat the Shimmer at all. The Shimmer finished its evolution/conquest/matching/alien-as-hell process - like some sort of refracting chrysalis, and emerged as those two. It won. It used the flash grenade (and the remaining parts of her) to clean up its mess so it could move onto it’s next stage, whatever that is. I think on reflection, it shits on Interstellar and the Arrival in terms of its portrayal of something legitimately and truly alien. I think it’s a masterpiece and it’s easily in my top ten sci-fi of all time. I need to digest more and rewatch. I shoulda bought it and not rented it, but the three star average gave me pause. reading this thread kind of shines a light on why some people didn’t like/get it. I can see that. In that regard it’s kinda like A.I. This is head-canon, but I was speculating that some part of the process (the bruising seemed to come from nowhere, remember) was creating amnesia about something that happens as soon as you enter the Shimmer.

Yep - I LOVE that. When writing sci-fi, I am often forced to align with convention because it’s comprehensible - and bluntly games need bipedal analogs of the protagonist for symmetry - but I often tell people that the Star Trek school of bipedal human analogs doesn’t even make sense on Earth, where the spider just over there in the corner is fantastically different to a person. Creating an antagonist with no relatable moral compass or motivation is something that’s typically reserved for natural disasters like Twister or Deep Impact - which of course you could argue is precisely what Annihilation is.

This is literally the most dangerous advice I've ever seen on the subject. Go see a specialist and get soft tissue examined with MRS before doing anything that requires weights. There are multiple causes of back pain and your specific injury or fault will require specific physical therapy. Sure it's possible deadlifts might help you but they might also exacerbate the issue depending what and where the pain is. And pain can express itself in places outside of the injury. For example my L4 L5 Saturday and stenosis can cause pain on my right or left hip creeping down either thigh. Get imaging and specialist opinion.

I am incredibly lucky I bought when I did. Got a bargain in Wallingford 15 years ago and moved into an even bigger bargain when the market tanked. Pure coincidence. Now I have something like 90% clear equity and will be mortgage free in a few years. Zero insight or skill involved and I paid it forward by telling my best friend about a ridiculous bargain across the street. But the housing crisis pales beside the cougar crisis - I've cycled there before. It's tragic and the guy who ran is probably a million times braver than me but if both guys had stayed and yelled and thrown things they probably would have spooked it - cougar advice is different from bear - they tell you to fight back and not play dead. And never run unless you have an exit like a vehicle. So awful.

Rent a kayak from Agua Verde and paddle around the houseboats, then have tacos and margaritas at the restaurant when you come back. Go to the Museums (Asian, modern art, pop culture etc).

Ha the salad is actually the reason I ordered tonight. I can tell myself I just had salad - ignoring the fact that it probably has more calories than the pizza. I add mama lils peppers and it's perfection.

Actually, that one is high on a nice corner, probably has spectacular views of the city and is directly in front of one of the most desirable elementary schools in the area. It's only a block away from the 5, but probably feels completely different than the horror shows on 5th. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but that might be a bargain. I don't know who owned it or lived there, but I met a super nice dude who was working on it for a whole summer and he really turned it around. Also the only african-american neighbor I "know." It's going to be loud though. White noise from the freeway is something people get used to. Depending on the wind direction, we can sometimes hear it from our front yard. Edit: How do I activate Dark Mode and is there a mobile mode?

Moon and Durkan have equally terrible ideas about how to deal with homelessness that do more to generate new homeless visitors than they do to deal with the specific sets of radically different problems that create and in some cases, encourage homelessness. They need to deal with those issues, not the blanket term. We need better mental healthcare. We need better addiction treatment. We do need more affordable housing, but that's a pipe dream for 99.999% of the homeless regardless of how "affordable" a two bedroom condo in Ballard is. We need to acknowledge that most of our homeless are not the poster-child of a single mom with two kids struggling to get by. They're folks with real institutional issues and that homelessness is an effect, not a cause. Job One: Get the police to crack down on the heroin dealers that run these encampments. remember the crack epidemic in the 80s? Where we threw thousands of addicts into the criminal justice mill and created more harm than good? We did that because they were black and we are a fundamentally racist society. Heroin and opiate abuse is an issue that predominantly affects white people, and so it's a "health crisis," and in America we deal with that by bankrupting people and tossing them into the streets. Housing access and affordability ARE a crisis, but we need to split that off from the other root causes and drivers. We need to deal with it surgically. /rant

Thread: Jonathan Blow is designing his own programming language for game development
I grew up with Forth, Fortran, cOBOL and BASIC. I will say that a deep understanding of BASIC isn’t as useless as I assumed it would be since it’s very easy to understand basic logic flows and debugging principles. I used to edit and create BASIC games and Apps for a computer magazine in the early nineties that came with a covermounted tape as well as pages of (Amstrad) BASIC users could type in if they had the patience. Simple typos could cause the entire program to fail and we’d run checksums against the finished code time and time again , but were at the mercy of Ventura and Quark text box overflow . Also I lived alongside dinosaurs.

Thread: Audio Era: Because Sound Matters
If you are getting a soundbar for fidelity there's a lot of decent options -- but if you want one for positional information in games - and Atmos effects - Yamaha is the only brand I've had experience with that actually works in terms of placing the audio in the right locations - but their Atmos bars are really expensive. They work great but it's not a cost saver and it's really only rational for folks who want simplicity or can't place real speakers. But the YSP models really do work - I use one in my gaming setup and positional audio is perfect -footsteps intended to be above and behind you - sound like they're above and behind you. Looks like Yamaha owns a lot of patents on reflective audio. But real speakers make more sense if your setup permits.

I was at the time not eligible but pretended to be a German coder from the Amiga demo scene. I was wearing a small plastic hat. Anyway he showed the video to some of his girl friends and one of them said that the German demo coder was undateable but still the best of the bunch. Later I married her and put a baby in her.

They are expensive as shit to license - and some of that is because they only expect to sell it once or twice. So it basically needs to more than pay for itself - which again is why they amortize over so many ideas per shoot. The advent of cheap, good, augmented consumer photography is going to threaten that market though, just as youtube does TV/studio monopolies.

My mother-in-law has me car shopping for her, which is fun, but I could use some ideas. In my opinion Grandpa should stop driving soon, but his eyesight is decent and he’s not senile, just losing some of his instincts. He drives slow as shit too and rarely takes the highway, so he just needs to drive granny to the doctors and the odd errand. She doesn’t care about brands, but she’s severely arthritic and needs a car with easy passenger seat access, which for her is higher than a sedan and lower than an SUV. Currently she has a 2017 Forester and finds it a bit too high for her to get in. Five or six inches lower would be perfect. Guess what measurement is never included in car specs? I’m going to have to go to dealers and measure. But this is what she needs in the vehicle. Budget - anywhere from 20-40k I guess. 1. Automated safety features - pedestrian/obstacle detection, lane assist, lane departure warning, comprehensive camera/radar for parking. Potentially automatic parking, although they’d be too scared to use it. 2. A hatchback or liftgate to put her wheelchair in easily. 3. AWD What’s weird is that Acura’s wagon would have been perfect, but bizarrely doesn’t have AWD. She also wanted a car without leather, but I explained that with all the comfort and electronics features she wants, that’s actually hard to avoid. Nobody is selling loaded vehicles without leather. Honda stopped making that blobby crossover, which would have been perfect if it had up to date drive assist features. So anything I’m just spacing on?

She isn’t really up for - or well enough for going around trying them which is obviously unhelpful, but I have driven a couple to her for her to try. But we already figured out that just knowing the sill heights is a pretty good indicator. I keep forgetting models that would fit the bill - yesterday remembered the Volvo V60 has all her requirements - waiting to hear back from their tape measuring salesman! Looked into getting the Forester lowered too, but I think she’s formed an irrational hatred of the car, and gave it to her daughter (who is psyched to get a free car out of nowhere).

Thinking of picking up a Cannondale Carbon 2 Quick tomorrow. I’m going to add a stem riser to bring the handle bars up a few inches, because of a back problem and personal geometry preferences, a comfier Serfas gel seat with nut buckets, and an under seat bag for phone and one tube. One bottle cage. And that’s it. The bike is 20 pounds even, so it’ll be the lightest I’ve ever ridden, but not enough for me to notice except when lifting onto the bike rack.

Thread: Bicycle ERA |OT| This Is Why
So the good news is that I transferred almost all the equipment I want from my old bike, to my new bike. The bad news got doubled though: I tried to take the stem riser from my Gary Fisher, but it looks like they stripped the post tube bolt when they installed it, because it just won’t come out.Spins like it has been loosened, then seizes up again at the end (and yes, I am spinning anti clockwise). So I gave up on that for the moment. Then I remembered I had a stem riser on my mountain bike - so I removed that and the spacers (oh yes, I need about four more spacers for some reason, even though I haven’t lost any. Now here’s the nightmare: When I removed the riser and handlebars, the fork and stem bearings/washer thingy came out of the stem at both ends. And I have no idea how to reseat the whole mechanism. Nothing I did manually made any difference, and when I looked it up online, the guy had three really specialist tools to do the whole assembly (which looked really simple with the tools). So I started with three working bikes, and now I have one. Just wondering if the simplest thing is to take them to the dealer and pay to have them re-sat.

Thread: Bicycle ERA |OT| This Is Why
Those metal railings aren’t a closed loop, so they rotate the bike to get it off the railings lock and all. Think about those toys where you try to guide a hoop over a twisted metal rail without touching the live rail and setting off a buzzer. Well, sometimes they aren’t closed loops - which is how you got the loop on in the first place. EDIT: Just watched higher res video - that loop IS closed. So I have no idea.

Thanks! Here’s a pic of the upper section - where you can see the bearing ring is just not seated in there correctly. Whatever’s below it (cup?) is still there - it’s just that ring of bearings. The problem is identical on the bottom end below - the bearing ring just loosely falls out when you take the weight off it. Nothing is missing - it’s a closed loop, as it were. And when trying to rescrew the post bolt doesn’t seem to pull the two ends together, as I expected it to.

Thread: Bicycle ERA |OT| This Is Why
Thanks for this. I at least now know what to go look for. Nothing is missing or damaged - if this makes sense - I never fully removed anything that could allow the bearing rings or any other components to fall off - basically there’s always been something on top of it - and I do get the distinct feeling that if it were just all seated and firm vertically, the final bolt would secure everything down through the vertical. It’s really difficult with one set of hands tho!

I think a lot of assumptions and snobbery prevent folks from using Hybrids as “gravel bikes.” I’ve done the AIDS Ride and multiple Backroads vacations on Hybrids and finished in the first ten and five percent respectively, with a happy butt, wrists and knees. I think some folks think of therm as “compromised” but I feel the opposite - they are laser focused on comfortable quick touring. My Gary Fisher Mendota is going to be my distance bike forever. I never enjoyed the road bike handle position.

I don’t understand the vitriol that brexiters have for Scotland considering the idea of a referendum to undo the harm brexit will do to that country. They voted to remain. Their vote effectively didn’t count. They want to be part of Europe. The hypocrisy in being angry at a country voting to leave a geopolitical institution is pretty weird.

I’m similarly white and educated and damn lucky - a fact that was never more obvious than when I first lived here on a H1 visa, there was a typo on my computerized records that meant younger less experienced customs agents weren’t familiar with the flag or how to clear it, so sometimes I’d be sent to the crying room for secondary screening. The rooms were invariably filled with crying older women of Latin and East Asian origin- often waiting for a relative to come save them. The agents would take one look at me and stick my passport at the front of the queue because they assumed my paperwork was going to be quicker and easier to resolve. But even on the fifteenth or sixteenth occasion, I’d be terrified and helpless feeling - I can only imagine what those (usually) women were going through. This was back in the day too, when things were less intense. Immigration to the USA is difficult and stressful and expensive. And even then,I never resented illegal immigrants because anyone with eyes can see that they’re an essential part of our service and agricultural industries. I couldn’t walk a mile in their shoes. You want a ten dollar avocado or a thousand dollar motel room, then keep building that wall.

I don’t see how you can guarantee a job in a capitalist economy and constitution. That others range from trivial to feasible, but you can’t guarantee even a government job in a country that has literally abandoned normal infrastructure projects. “Reading and writing” sounds extreme, but the judge is correct - and I imagine lots of other countries we consider civilized would have roughly the same gap in their constitutions. No reason we shouldn’t amend it tho. But I bet religious home schoolers would object to ANY kind of basic standards.

Everything was polluted and hot. Moved to LA - where I was the ONLY person walking between LaBrea and LaCiengega. Except the cast of Miracle Mile (you should watch) Moved to San Francisco, which can vacillate between 100 degreees arid and 50 degree fog, within a single linear mile.

Nothing Nothing wrong with not grabbing an objective if you’re better serving your team by doing things you’re good at. I give a lot of thought to random team behaviors and lots of things are excusable that wouldn’t be if you went in with friends. I tend to grab the ball and flag because I’m better at dodging and jumping and frustrating players than I am at shooting or ad how strategizing. It’s probably a frustrating look to strangers, but I tend to do well so it might be a wash. I will say that the single worst possible behavior, in some ways worse than betraying, is berating strangers for not being good enough. I probably encounter that jerk every five or six games. “None of you idiots have mics, leave the sniper alone that’s mine, why didn’t you protect me, wah wah wah “ It INVARIABLY makes the team play WORSE, and nobody wants to help that guy. I’ve even sent polite messages after the game noting the negative effects if that kind of commentary. You can probably guess how most folks react. Funniest thing about it is that guy tends to never finish in first place on his team anyway.

Not a Designer, so the following is my observation/opinion as a player - with regard to ADS - I consider "true" ADS to be a form of lock on/snap aim rather than zoom/visual accuracy assist. But to the " the counterargument is that if you did remove it, it would feel like a convenient "standard" for shooter controls had been removed. I'm not demanding like it, but you can't look at a null response and gather from that that they actually . Often silence is a form of assent, and obviously we do deeper research than just observing the dead numbers. But again I personally don't ever think of Halo's zoom effect as ADS. Other weapon changes are vastly more meaningful to the gameplay. I probably play too much Super Fiesta tho.

I genuinely believe there's more money to be made at a dollar or two for Neo Geo stuff than $7.

Thread: JurassicERA |OT| A New World Rises from a Fallen Kingdom
Yes, yes I do. Despite all of Jurassic Park 3's problems, it is still my favorite entry in the franchise (for a variety of reasons). A couple of things really hampered it: - The script being tossed 5 weeks before shooting. They should have waited for one they were truly happy with. Didn't even finish the script during production. - Keeping the raptors in the movie besides a cameo. Jurassic Park 3 was about moving on to new, different never before seen things and yet the Raptors and that whole dumb plotline bogs the entire movie down. To me, the Spino parts were mostly great (considering how last minute they were) and the aviary part was great too, and they were new to the franchise! (Although the aviary is straight out of the book). - Nonsensical character decisions because of the script. Why in the hell did Billy survive? - Odd cutting. To me, this is most apparent during the Spino river attack with the long shots of the kid on the phone trying to find his mom. That looked like a clear cover up that they did not have enough attack footage. So yes, I would more than welcome a "new" Jurassic Park 3 that actually tries to change the formula up because I think there is plenty of room to play in that pool. Could have also slow burn mixed in the genetic experimentation angle too. I actually liked World and Fallen Kingdom, but I do find myself wishing the third movie would strip it back, go smaller and try something different. There is nothing inherently wrong with bringing back the old dinos. But the new dinos just feel like cameos aside from the hybrids and the Mosasaur. From my view, the old dinos should be the cameos. The T-Rex is no longer impactful because we see so damned much of it.

Also: I don't find the whole "dinosaurs are loose on the mainland!" thing impactful at all since Lost World already showed how that would play out with the Rex. I still maintain that is the absolute worst addition to the franchise other than the gymnastics raptor bit because it completely undermined any future movie from doing it full scale. And that is absolutely how I felt about Fallen Kingdom, upon seeing the animals released on the mainland, my first instinct was "Oh here we go with the Lost World again"

In the supplemental material all the Site B dinos were moved to the main island and then Sorna was destroyed. Even the Spinosaurus was allegedly moved but apparently it did not survive for whatever reason. I expect them to retcon this at some point and bring the Spino back. Or a new one. Hopefully one bigger than the one in JP3, which was still on the small end. The JP 3 Spino was still not even close to fully grown, only at 46 feet max. Spinos generally closed in at least 49.2 ft, if not 59.2 feet. You can see in this piece of supplementary material which dinos are alive (black) and dead (red):

Thread: JurassicERA |OT| A New World Rises from a Fallen Kingdom
I'd argue its partly because the Dilo is pretty much the most inaccurate dino in the entire franchise. Spielberg sized them down (though they were sized back up in World) and added the stupid frill. The other part of it, as others have said, the "medium sized" predator space has a lot of competition in the JP franchise. If you look at what else they've used predator wise that is the same size (roughly) as the Dilo is supposed to be: JP - Velociraptor, Baryonyx (book only + movie promotional material), Dilophosaurus JP 2 - Velociraptor, Carnotaurus (book only) JP 3 - Velociraptor, Ceratosaurus, Baryonyx* & Suchomimus* (*replaced by Spinosaur just before production) JP: W - Velociraptor JP: Fallen Kingdom: Velociraptor, Allosaurus (multiple, all juvenile), Baryonyx (for real this time!) , Carnotaurus (ish), Indoraptor The Velociraptor being as popular as it is kind of displaced all the other medium sized predators (and predators in general because it seems like they HAVE to appear) from the franchise until Fallen Kingdom, where they started to be used much more. That's arguably the "best" part of 3, they were not afraid to leave the T-Rex on the sidelines aside from the cameo to fight the Spino (and even that movie has way too much Raptor) TLDR: Like someone else said, Raptors.

Thread: People on resetera with significant others - how did you meet him/her
My fiancee was ready to get engaged after 6 months of dating. She knew I was the one that she wanted to be with (she's in her late 20s). I actually sold my parents house about 6-9 months into our relationship and decided to move closer to her neck of the woods (also gets me closer to work) and then she moved in when I did. After 6 months of living with her, I knew her good and bad habits inside and out. I'm in my early 30s and both her and I have the same wants in regards to number of kids, timing of kids and we are on the same page about virtually everything. While cliche, "when you know, you'll know" is apt for how her and I both feel. It also helps that both her and I are very experienced with what we don't want. Her and I actually thought it would be good to get married on the day of our first date, two years later, so we actually went ahead and planned all of it before getting engaged. While I did playfully torture her a bit with the engagement, we got officially engaged 2 months ago. I could not be happier with her.

They actually cover this in the movie. This "generation" of Indoraptor that you see in the movie has a piss poor temperament because it was raised in isolation (which is why Wu kept saying he was a prototype and he is not to be sold). The whole point of Blue is for FUTURE Indoraptor generations. Wu even says that it may take a long time before they get it right, to which the villain says something to the effect of "sounds like a lot of money". Blue is extremely important to the future plans, the current Indoraptor was likely going to be destroyed once Blue was "captured". It was merely put up for auction to gauge future interest in the product line. Take issue with that explanation all you want, but it is very well explained during the movie.

Thread: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom |OT| The Park is gone [Open Spoilers]
My fiancee wanted to go see this again and since we have Sinemia, we did. She really, really likes this movie (we did a marathon watch of the whole franchise prior to seeing Fallen Kingdom) and likes World 1 and World 2 a whole lot more than the original trilogy. I can see why too, she did not grow up with them like I did, and her entry point to the franchise to begin with was World. To her, the CGI in Jurassic Park 1 looks absolutely ancient (and it does, although it held up for a long time) and the plot was a little too plodding I think. She doesn't remember much of Jurassic Park 2 and 3 (to the point where she didn't remember the Spinosaur) but she remembers all of World 1 and World 2. I still love the original movie for what it is (although I do think it is inferior to the book) and Spielberg kind of bastardized some of my favorite Dinos. With that said, my personal favorite movie in the franchise remains 3 cause I love the Spinosaur and I embrace the pure camp territory of that film. Upon a re-watch of Fallen Kingdom I kind of wish they dropped the Indoraptor. I like what it did, but when I was watching the movie earlier today I wanted more of the Baryonyx and Allosaurus, especially the Baryonyx after it was supposed to be the main villain in 3. I also found myself thinking they could have dropped the whole mansion plot into its own movie and left the island escape as its own movie and fleshed them both out more into full fledged movies. To me it would have made complete sense that the Dinos are brought to the sanctuary island at the end of World II and then World III would have dealt with assholes capturing them and trying to auction them. I can't decide if what we got instead was truly the best way to go with the narrative. All that said, I still enjoyed The Lost World the least out of the 5 films (although I don't think its the worst directed, if that makes sense, to me that is World 1), especially since it is such a massive step down from the book for me. I'm interested to see what World 3 brings, but hopefully Trevorrow gets the boot. From my perspective, Fallen Kingdom looks so much better than World and is directed so much better than World. Wish Bayona had full reign.

Can we just admit the best part of this movie is the Baryonyx running around smacking his head on things and getting burned by lava. I really did enjoy that dino and wanted more of him because he was the most entertaining bit.

Really, really liked it. Having just marathoned the whole movie series the month before I thought it fit right in with the rest of them in the "enjoyable" camp. This movie made me wish even more than the San Diego section of the Lost World did not happen, because I can only imagine this ending would have been more powerful if it was an actual "What if?". To me, the horribleness of the T-Rex in San Diego kind of took some of the novelty out of it. My girlfriend cried multiple times throughout the movie, and its rare for a movie to do that. I think the Baryonyx was my favorite character, shame we didn't get more of him. I thought the movie worked best when it was playing up the horror side, although the Indoraptor being an almost literal mustache twirling villain was a bit much.

Shudderwock's only problem is the excessively long animations. The deck itself isn't really uber powerful. At most it is uninteractive, like quest rogue or quest mage, since how you play really does not matter since its a battlecry combo. You just have to kill them before they go ham. I hate uninteractive decks in general.

It's a goofy combo, but quest mage that finishes the quest, drops Alexstraza then 5-6+ apprentices (2 innate, 2 simalcrum, 2 from arugal) can just pay 8 for two pyros for lethal now if they are bored and want to do it. Sure it has no real practical implications, but fun for science!

I feel the same. Mackie also tends to playfully troll. It would not surprise me if he did that to Frosty though and Frosty didn't get it/wasnt in the mood and it turned combative. However, they have interviewed together a bunch of times so I'd assume they are usually on the same wave length. I don't think it was Mackie. Don't think we will ever know though since everyone will squash it.

Hela taking place of Death makes very little sense. Especially since Death, the cosmic entity, is already established in the MCU as being a being that exists. Hela and Death are on very different planes, and this early Thanos story (Infinity Gauntlet) only works if it is Death, who is much more powerful than he is and basically ignores him. As for Hela, whether or not she is dead is kind of irrelevant, since she's Asgardian and Surtur caused Ragnarok. But I don't think she's gone for good if they want to bring her back.

Thread: ADD/ADHDera, let's share coping mechanisms
Diagnosed at 19 with ADHD (but clearly had it since an early age, parents were weird about medicating). Was medicated for a few years but haven't been on Concerta for years now. Thought many times of going back on it but it is rather pricey. Lists have been tremendously helpful as OP points out. Music is definitely really good at sort of keeping that distracted part of my brain focused (EDM, stuff with as little lyrics as possible). Since it's been so long since I last was on medication there are a few questions I guess I'd like to have fielded by people more recently medicated. -Are there any better low-intensity medicines that have developed in the last decade that people would recommend? -One of my larger fears about Concerta was long-term effects relating to general focus & anxiety. Anybody seen anything about long-term medication use and its effects? -Is there any medication that you can get without therapy or visits to a psychiatrist? Was one of the more annoying restrictions on previous medication requests. For my case, hyper-activeness, lack of focus-- fish oil has been completely useless. I think it's probably better for people with memory issues?

Hm... It's not just me reading these threads, I know a good amount of our office does, as I imagine more places in the industry do as well, I just decide not to lurk. Working in any creative practice I think you gotta be at peace with the idea you open yourself to criticism with a public work. Whether that's the original game, the port, the translation, the packaging design, the marketing, etc. Games truly are a interdisciplinary collaborative work that rivals nearly any creative endeavor. At the end of the day, and sometimes this is hard to see through the smoke, most of us here to do a good job and not just pick up a paycheck. Equally so, I've tried to be as open as I can while juggling corporate responsibility and professional decorum. We need to hear from players so that we know what we are doing right as much as what we are doing wrong, so I know there's been some tough criticism, but that is instrumental in improving and moving forward (except for the 'pls die'-type posts). By the by, my policy is never open up until 10-20 years after or death of the company.

I know how much this means to everyone involved and that there are, rightfully, disappointments from our fans in the initial reaction, but we really are trying to be as honest and transparent with everyone, while still keeping our obligations to our partners like Falcom in what we can and can't divulge. We are reading and watching as much feedback as we can in our day to day, and appreciate that people are still showing interest. Thank you, -Travis Shrodes Marketing Supervisor, NISA

Thread: Yakuza Community |OT| No Yakuza here officer
Hey guys. We've pretty much confirmed on our streams that the Yamashita songs didn't make it into the Western version. I know for many of you that's a major letdown, and we absolutely are not deaf to that. I got my first #nosoubounobuy sent my way on Twitter not that long ago, and while it's disheartening, I understand where the sentiment is coming from. So let me do my best to recap what we've said about this across various platforms for you guys, since it seems some of this information got lost to the ether. Note that what I'm telling you here is pretty much all I can say, because discussing licensing, which correlates to a game's profitability, is generally a dicey-ass topic for "the localization" guy. Let's start here, because I think sometimes people do actually get confused by this. Some gaming companies pay popular artists to license their popular songs to put inside their games. This has been happening for years, and while maybe it wasn't the first, Final Fantasy VIII's "Eyes on Me" by Faye Wong was arguably one of the biggest and most impactful games to do it, at least for games made in Japan. But "licensing" is not as simple as "Hey [popular artist], we want your song. Here's 50 bucks." No! It's more like, we want to use your song and release it in our game in Asia, North America, and Europe, we want the right to put it on our soundtrack, release the game digitally, and nowadays, let players record their footage of this song over their gameplay and upload it to their own channels! Oh, and we want to be able to do this for the rest of the game's natural life, and perhaps even when we remaster this game in ten years, we'll need that too. How much? The figure for all that would be astronomical. That's basically a buy-out. At least, for an established, well-known artist. An up-and-coming artist might be more affordable? I couldn't tell you. And bear in mind, the music industry in Japan is not the same as in America. It's different in ways I'm sure I'm not even qualified to speak on. So things start getting left out. Okay, how much for just this region? Okay, we don't need it on our soundtrack. Or, okay, we can't afford to pay you [astronomical fee], but what if we give you a cut of every game we sell? Ah, very good then. Negotiations by professional negotiators and lawyers (not localization dudes) are finalized, contracts are signed, songs are put into games, share blocking is placed over scenes that use said song, digital rights are negotiated (or not), and the issue pops up all over again for remakes and remasters down the line. So that's it, in principle. If I've made it sound easy, I've done it a disservice, because it's not. Very. Ask any Japanese person if they've heard of them, the answer will probably be yes. I've been told he's essentially the Japanese "voice of Christmas." So perhaps a solid equivalent Western, and you don't have to like this, would be Michael Buble. It's important to stress - had you heard his name prior to his appearance in Yakuza 6? And remember, even if you had, I don't want to burst your... bubble... but you are the 1%. Yes. Yes, it's probably cheaper to negotiate a package deal. But there's a wrinkle in that logic. Cheaper does not equal . Like adding fries and a drink, the cost goes UP when you start including more regions. And per above point, does it make sense for regions where nobody has heard of the artist to pay that cost? Is the game going to sell enough to cover that? Questions that go beyond me, obviously. YES, every game. The numbers get ran. And if the numbers are making the game run the risk of being REJECTED in its entirety, well.... Would you rather have a Yakuza game with replaced music, or be in this thread asking why Yakuza stopped coming West? We believe it's the former, but if it's the latter, just let us know by not purchasing the game. That's the surest way to get the point across. I hope we're right, personally, because I love this damn series. The SEGA sound team. Shoji-san did Y0, and I'm actually not sure who did Y6. It just appeared one day. ...Licensing is a little different than us objecting to content and replacing it. But you can see it how you want to see it, I guess. If you go in expecting it not to be, because it can't compare to Yamashita, no. If you give it an honest listen, maybe you'll like it. Our fourth generation PR man, Jacob, IM'ed me one day after sitting down to play and said, dude, the music is so good! And I looked up at his screen, and he was on a scene with replaced music. I said... Oh. That's good to hear. He was new, and didn't know this was even a thing yet. So there you have it. I hope this helps!

Thread: Yakuza Community |OT| No Yakuza here officer
See, this is why I do my best NOT to post in here, because this is thread to shoot the shit about Yakuza in, and when I show up, I end up hijacking it. As much as I love reading about people being happy with the games, you shouldn't feel like you can't talk shit about them here, or even decisions we make on the loc team because you know I'm reading it and might jump in like a jackass and get all defensive. (I won't do that.) I only chimed in on the music because I felt like that's one area that's needed clearing up for a long time. If you have questions, you can always hit me or Sam on Twitter, or stop by during our streams that we'll resume at some point! BUT, I don't wanna be a jerk and leave the questions hanging, so I'll answer those two and then poof, smoke bomb! Cool? We collate feedback from reviews and those user surveys you can take via the live tiles into a doc that's a pain in the ass to drop what I'm doing and write, but ends up being a great tool for discussion around the game's reception and performance. (In the industry, this is often referred to as a "postmortem.") This doc gets sent up through management and ultimately to the dev team. The topic of stronger women has come up from both reviewers and players before, and it's very evident to us that characters like Miss Tatsu or Kaoru Sayama are well received in the West - so this makes it into our post mortem, and the dev team can do or not do with that as they please. We actually are listening! The whole discussion around the importance of the subtitle coming out of Japan hit us pretty hard. Nagoshi-san talked about that period at the end of "Song of Life." signifying closure on Kiryu's arc, and even though we couldn't use it here (We tried it out, but it just ended up awkward, and nobody even remembered to put it in) we felt like adding the subtitle to the series in the first place carried roughly the same weight. It's not indicative of a trend moving forward or anything, it was more to give Kiryu the sendoff he deserves.

Feel free to check it out here: . Game receives a significant performance bump when played on an X1X console. Xbox One version is single-player only but Steam version supports 4-player co-op! I developed these games over 2+ years as mostly a solo developer with no budget.

Thread: Monster Hunter World coming to Steam with August 9th release date
I don't know how the whole doom 'n gloom started, but I can assure you there is absolutely nothing to worry about with regards to optimization and performance. From a purely performance perspective, our min spec / rec. spec is generally set on the conservative side to ensure there's enough headroom. As you pointed out, the game is based on our proprietary MT Framework engine. If you're familiar with any of our other games using this tech, you'll know what to expect in terms of performance profile, tweak options, and high scalability that can be adjusted to fit your needs.

Thread: Monster Hunter Community |OT| A New World, A New Era
As a Capcom guy, I’ll be dabbling on all three platforms. ;-) I’ve only started playing the series from 4U, but it’s been quite a revelation in terms of overall depth of the gameplay. I play with my 12 y/o son on and off over weekends, and it’s been quite fun. Finger cramp is real, so I ended up getting one of these . Such a life saver.

I can not recommend it enough. Go for it. Make sure to get Version 2 — the one I linked above. Difference between Version 1 is the finger rest position for your index (or middle) finger. Version 2 has a much better and natural placement. Feels so gud in hands.

Not ignoring this question, just don't think I can answer it properly since I've been primarily playing on PC, and not console. The times I have been playing on console has been on a PS4 Pro, and frame pacing wasn't any different than other open world games that I'd played on console. It didn't stand out to me as out of the ordinary from what people would be used to.

So, I haven't spoken to the team about this specific issues, so I'm going to speak in general terms here - Based on the last 50+ games I've launched, development teams after release shift into priority bug fixing mode. If this indeed turns out to be a widespread issue, then it'll turn into a priority, and more resources will be poured into fixing that. Sorry I can't be more helpful, trying to answer things as best I can w/o sitting with the dev team.

But doesn't he imply that he's over that now? It seemed to me like he was saying he enjoyed aspects of the good ol days in terms of the courting of women, but has now backed away from that after realizing it's probably not a good thing to do anymore. That's how I took it. “Now? Now you really can’t pursue someone further than, ‘No’. It’s like, ‘OK, cool’. This line alone, at least to me, implies he's on board with the "no means I'm not interested" straight up. He even says, "Ok, cool". As in, "I'm done asking". Am I reading this wrong?

I've mentioned this before in other threads, but I don't think this will be a real "origin" movie for the Joker. I hope they do some weird story telling where things don't line up and you may only notice it at the very end where we find out that Joker has been the narrator the whole time talking to some doctor in Arkham (I'd even stay away from Harley all together). That way we don't know what's really true and it's just a fun story which doesn't cement any real origin for him.

In regards to Infinity War; we have to remember that the past like 4 episodes all happened in the span of like 2 days. This entire arc could be taking place last fall or earlier this year. And with IW being moved up a week, that also hurts them a bit. I hope they do have an episode planned to deal with the fall out from IW though. Even if it's the 2nd to last or last episode of the season.

I always look at time travel stuff like this... The characters we're watching are considered the "Prime" characters. Whatever they do affects everything else. When you see other versions of them from different times (past of future), they're stuck in the time loops which only the Prime characters can do something about. There has to be some kind of base line starting point for the time travel stories or else, like you said, nothing can technically be done and everything will happen the same way every time.

Is it really that much to ask for Coulson to ask someone why the Avengers didn't stop the end of the world? Or that we see Stark, Hammer, Roxxon, AIM, or any other Marvel tech/construction stuff in the scraps? I get less and less interested in the show the further they stray away from the Marvel universe. I don't need to see Cap show up, but you can't tell me Coulson wouldn't even bring that up?

Yeah, it's starting to lose me as well. I'll stick with it till the end, but good god I'm so bored. It just feels like it's up it's own ass half the time. And we don't need 75 minute episodes, please stick to the one hour. First season was so cool and different, this one feels like CW shows in their 4th/5th seasons with no budget. Everything is in hall ways and one location. The best part of the episodes is when Farouk is on screen. And I don't know if this is deliberate or not, but their use of sound is driving me up a wall. Everything is just a little too soft spoken and quiet and that's just one of my triggers.

Her costume also offers no protection... It's literally just latex/spandex. Gambi gotta come through with keeping her color scheme (albeit toned down a bit) and the pattern design, but just give her a more insulated and protected body suit. And a real mask. I know we already have the pic of her in her final suit, but it's not all that great and looks so far removed from what she picked originally.

In my head cannon, BL takes place on Earth 3 with Supergirl until proven that it's not. On their Earth they make comics based on the real heroes like how it was done in Logan. We know there are other heroes on their Earth from that news cast.

Just finished watching (had to get through Supergirl, The Gifted, and the Flash all tonight) and hot damn this shit is hot. I was entertained from start to finish. Didn't think Cress was gonna be all that great, but I've turned around on that one. What makes me a little mad is that this show is a little "too" good, haha. Like, I can't see this world in the same world as Flash, Arrow, or Supergirl. They feel so tonally different. Even how it's shot is just so much better than the other CW shows. It LOOKS like a high quality show and not a lower budget shot in a Vancouver warehouse type of show. Of course the first seasons of Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl looked way better too. Once you get past that 1st season they seem to lower the budget, shoot on location less, and keep everything to the same 3/4 sets. If they EVER do a crossover with the other shows, I really hope they get the show runners/directors from Black Lightning to helm the show thing. I'd love to see the other CW shows look this good and feel a bit more real sometimes.

It appears Cool Greg was spending "too much time" in the bathroom on the plane and they kicked him off thinking he was probably doing drugs. Tim came to his defense and they kicked HIM off cause they said he was intoxicated, even though Tim says he hadn't been drinking. So, because Cool Greg looks the way he does, they just assumed he was using in the bathroom when in fact he was having stomach issues from being anxious about flying.

I watch every Morning Show live while I'm at work and then later in the day will watch whatever video they upload to YouTube (Monday GamesCast, Tuesday is nothing now which sucks, Wednesday Party Mode, Thursday X-Men in Review, Friday GoG). When I get home from work, I watch Games Daily while I make dinner and play some video games. It's just such a part of my routine now it makes me kinda bug out if I miss something, haha.

Nope, I just skip past them or don't care enough. It's two ad reads per show usually. Dunno how else they're supposed to do them, they need the money to keep making content. Would you want them back at the beginning of the shows? I think most people get sick of them cause it's the same ad reads for like two weeks straight and they can only adlib so much to punch them up a bit.

I don't think Greg has any idea about the stuff going on with Boogie. This is the only place I even see him get mentioned with that "both sides" gif. They talked briefly about Max during the stream today, but just said all they know is what we know and they found it odd that it's been radio silent from all parties since the news broke a few weeks ago. Seems they're just going to move on with their own stuff and will address it when there's more information to talk about. It's a little eye opening to see how news that makes the rounds on this board doesn't populate among the masses as much as we think it does. When they brought up Max, almost the whole Twitch chat didn't even know something had happened. We live in our own little bubbles.

The hyperbole in the comments is getting out of hand. I still have no idea why people bitch about ads on a free YouTube video... Ads that you can literally skip by scrubbing forward, it takes 2 seconds. Are these like 13 yr old brats that have had everything given to them and they've never had to wait or earn anything in their lives? Fucking hell, those people piss me off so much. They start off with Animal Crossing and go for 15 minutes. The show literally starts at the ONE MINUTE mark... That also includes the GamesCast intro animation.

I knew that artwork was legit from a few weeks ago. If you look at all promotional art for the Marvel and DC movies over the last few years, they all look like that and have that same rendering style. It's kinda photo real, but has this CG quality to it. No fan art is going to replicate that and no good artist is going to waste their time trying to fake real art.

They had 3 display kiosks set up for BP and new releases, all that was left was regular Blu-Ray and Steelbook Blu-Ray. However, at the 3rd kiosk they had 5 4K Steelbooks left, so I just got one of those. I even asked if they had any more in the back and the guy checked and said no.

The X-Men uniforms will totally be closer to the Captain America Age of Ultron look and NegaSonic's from Deadpool. Base blue/yellow undersuit where needed, with exterior flare pieces to separate them out. The blues/blacks/yellows should all match across the entire team. I doubt Wolverine will look like the Alex Ross image above, but he probably won't be as muted as he was in the X-Men movies. I could see more of his 2nd X-Men: Evolution look for him (but maybe with the mask?).

Whatever they do, I'm sure the Marvel costume department will knock it out of the park. I've loved pretty much every costume in the MCU. I think they've done enough by now that they know what works for the actor while bringing in the colors/patterns/iconography that the fans love and will appreciate.

Does Peter have the black eye at the beginning of Homecoming when he's talking into his camera describing the airport fight? Cause I just remembered the tag for Civil War where he has a mark around his eye due to Steve "bullying" him. If he doesn't, then tsk tsk Sony. That's another continuity error your people missed (along with the 8 years thing... which we now know is even more BS since Tony stated it's only been 6 years since the first New York attack).

Yeah what? Those aren't negative. They're just not OMG THIS IS THE BEST MARVEL MOVIE EVAAAA!!!! I didn't think this movie was gonna get a crazy high RT score or average score, but it'll be good. I think it's just "too big" to be a critical darling like Black Panther.

I'm using it as a descriptor of what they are right now... I realize once the deal goes through they're all "main line" at that point. Also, I don't know what 3 other movies are coming out when, so it was just easier to group them as so, in addition to an X-Men/FF/Deadpool movie.

Once they get FOX, they'll have to put 4 a year out. Can't leave those rebooted X-Men and FF films waiting every other year. Year 1: 3 main line MCU + X-Men Year 2: 3 main line MCU + FF Year 3: 3 main line MCU + Deadpool/X-Force Rinse and repeat. And don't forget, they could totally pull those FOX characters into the main line MCU movies as cameos as well to keep them in peoples minds so the wait between a stand alone X-Men film doesn't feel so long.

I don't know of any theatre in the US that allows you to reserve seats without paying for them when you do it. You can return the tickets before the movie and get your money back if you want. They just ask that you do that at least 24 hours before the start time so they have some time to re-sell them.

Unless she shows up in Avengers this year, she ain't hitting a billion. Wonder Woman took the air out of the sails of being "the first female lead superhero movie". She's also not as well known as Wonder Woman which will ding her a bit. Wonder Woman also had incredible legs and I don't see Capt Marvel doing the same. I think she opens bigger than WW (like 110-115) and ends up around WW's numbers or (IMO) under a bit.

We didn't get Deadpool or Infinity War trailers, but the Ant-Man Wasp trailer was met with the normal musings and the Venom trailer had like no reaction except for people that knew what it was already and kinda of let out groans. I didn't hear anyone go, "Oh wow a Venom movie???" after the title popped up. Actually, now that I think about it, the trailer doesn't even end with the word "VENOM", it's just the V, then a quick pops up. So if you're not paying attention you still wouldn't know what it really was.

Yeah, I like AoU as well, but most of those shots are not great nor do anything special. Having some lens flare and energy blasts don't equate to a good shot. One of my most hated scenes (looks wise) in Ultron is that scene where Tony sees all the dead Avengers... it's so fucking dark you can't see anything. I saw it twice in the theatre and both times I was trying to look around the frame to find everyone and I couldn't. Even on Blu Ray at home, same issue. Whedon doesn't know how to light his movies in a visually pleasing way.

One nice thing about the Avengers Assemble cartoon is that the team consists of pretty much everyone on the Avengers now...

The other good thing is that when both Caps are in the field together they call each other Army and Air-Force... it's kinda cute.

They're moving to 4 movies a year, count on it. They have too many characters now to only have 3 movies in a single year. Actors aren't going be waiting around and getting younger having to wait 4 to 5 years in between movies. My bet is.. 2020: Guardians Vol 3 2020: Black Panther 2 2020: Doctor Strange 2 (This breaks the 4 year rule, but there's no where else for it to come out so it has to be 2020 unless they're not going to make sequels and just put the character into other movies) 2020: Fantastic Four 2021: Spider-Man 3 2021: Ant-Man 3 2021: Deadpool 3 2021: Captain Marvel 2 2022: Uncanny X-Men 2022: Black Widow 2022: Fantastic Four 2 2022: New Character

BTW, some of the LEGO sets for Black Panther and Infinity War give some spoilers I guess, but nothing too crazy. The BP sets kinda give away some things what will probably be in the scenes of the movie that we already know about. The Infinity War sets (none have pics yet) give away battles and a potential plot thread for a main character.

LOOOL, I knew you guys were gonna post that pic. But seriously, that was the one rare exception in regards to the movie tie in sets. They've been pretty spot on since that Iron Man 3 set. And like I said, nothing in those sets seems too wild or out of place, just has some accessories/characters that weren't shown in the trailers that take place during certain scenes they have shown in the trailers.

I'm kinda hoping that the Deadpool 2 after credits tag is Hugh Jackman (off screen) yelling out to Wade "Are you sure this is gonna work?" Wade keeps egging him on and saying "yes, of course" Hugh walks into frame and he's wearing a busted ass yellow/blue Wolverine outfit that looks so shitty and home made, just for Deadpool to look at the camera and go, "There, you fanboys happy now?" I don't want to see an awesome Wolverine outfit just in one Easter egg scene knowing that we'll never see it again. I like the idea of "giving the fans what they want", but in a totally funny and dumb way.

So we're all pretty much expecting the Infinity Gauntlet to explain how to pull the X-Men/Mutants into the MCU without any issues, right? That during Avengers 4 someone uses the Gauntlet to fix whatever Thanos fucked up, but ends up creating a slightly different universe where Mutants have existed since forever and now follow the general hero explosion of the last 20 years? So we can still have Magneto being around WW2 and Charles forming the team in the 90's. Can't wait, let's do this!

Yep, that's going to be their biggest hurdle if they try to incorporate Mutants proper into the MCU. How do these people with powers go undetected for years with how prevalent superpowered people have become the previous 10 years? Either they use some Infinity Stone mumbo jumbo to soft reboot the universe and say that Mutants have always existed and that the X-Men have been established for years or they do what you say and have the Mutant X Gene just start to become active in the past 3-4 years with very few Mutants around and all hiding in secret or thinking they're InHumans.

Isn't that just a list of teams he will and won't go to? It's not a No Movement Clause. The Bernier signing is exactly the length and amount I figured we'd give out. Vanek at 1 year is whatever, but the 3 mil seems a mil too high. Would've liked to see Green come in at under 5 mil, but meh. So we have 10 forwards signed now and 9.1 mil left plus Franzen's LTIR reserve money. Larkin is probably gonna get close to 5 mil a season and Mantha close to 3. What does AA do? Stay and get around 3 mil or leave and get 3 mil somewhere else? We still have room for one of Zadina or Rasmuussen.

The changes from NHL 2003 to NHL 2004 were actually quite big and for the better. However, the biggest issue with 04 was that the D-men would constantly rush up the ice and get out of position and there was nothing you could do to fix it. No matter what your sliders were set to or patches they released, they never fixed it. NHL 2005 was TERRRIBLE. They essentially abandoned all the good things they were moving forward with in 04 and went with the big hits/picks/interference system which killed the whole game flow. Honestly the last few NHL's have been "good" games, but they've been in a rut for a while and need to really revamp their engine.

The whole reason I got into video games was to work on the NHL series. I've come close a few times, but never pulled the trigger. I was OBSESSED with hockey games back in the early 2000's. I was even a mod/admin on the old 2Khockey.net boards. I have every single one of them and know most of all the differences between versions down to options and controls. But with only EA putting out a hockey game now a days, my interest has waned. EDIT - NHL 2002 and NHL 2003 had the breakaway cam that slowed down the gameplay, added a heartbeat sound effect, put a vignette around the screen, and played Default's "Deny" for some reason as you skating towards the goalie...

Anyone have an issue with crushed blacks while using the hbo go app on the ps4 with the LG C7? It doesn’t matter what picture mode I have the TV set to, only that I have the Black Level set to Low. If I turn it to HIGH, it allows me to see everything, but the picture ends up being super washed out. Every calibration setting I’ve found online says to keep the Black Level to Low, so I don’t know if it’s just the app or something else. The PS4 says it’s in the 4.2.2 color mode while this is happening since the app doesn’t put the tv into HDR mode, if that matters.

Thread: Black Panther - Great story but didn't like it
I actually liked it despite filmmaking flaws. The idea behind the movie is greater than the sum of its parts. Also, link to the Era BP thread mentioned in OP? When others tell me they didn't like it, and they site the story, it makes me think if there's possibly a disconnect between the individual and compassion for humanity. I'm not saying people aren't compassionate, but in terms of being in a place in their life right now where they can't feel the non-fictional tragedy this movie is presenting. Maybe because these people have personal conflict that they can't relate. And hey, I'm white so it would be wrong for me to say I 'feel the pain', but there is a powerful impact to a superhero movie taking a second to tell the audience, "yeah we're using a real-world tragic scenario that is still a problem in the world", and asking others to to feel that in order to understand the motivations behind nearly everyone.

Yes, there are still compromises, but I feel this is a device that makes the sacrifices that are most logical for the current state of the industry - freedom from tethers and (especially) cost are going to open doors for lots of new users and applications, and where the users are the developers follow, which means we will get lots of new, innovative VR apps and games. VR really needs this, there is only so much that can be accomplished in the "premium" space where the development financials just don't justify much beyond investment - at some point you got to turn investment into market. With the Go, an actual self-sustaining ecosystem is a realistic possibility because the device is "good enough" and, crucially, affordable enough to attract a new audience. That's my hope at least. :)

Thread: PCVR Game Discussion Thread - A New Era of Gaming
We thought so too, but it was not - we tried every possible combination we could think of, and we fully implemented and tested them all. For one thing, having to hold the gun meant that you could not grab on to the environment with that hand, which with the Echo games movement system had a big negative impact on your ability to exploit the environment. Then there is the issue that free floating objects in 0g don’t stay put - you knock them over or let them go and move away and getting back to them becomes a huge chore. At the end it was not fun - so our designers went with this approach, as it lets the player prioritize skill mechanics that feel more rewarding instead of frustrating.

Thanks! To be clear, chucking stuff at other players is awesome, and you can still pick up and toss objects. Also, you can "grab" behind your back and throw a grenade into your enemies, which is highly satisfying. ;)

Thread: It has been sad to see Stephen Colbert turn into a hack
I miss Colbert Report and his old actin' days of Strangers with Candy and stuff. His show was genuinely terrible before Trump was elected, and honestly I don't think he would have lasted much longer before that. I remember the last show I was watching pre-Trump days and he set up an act for almost ten minutes of him holding a Captain America shield as Chris Evans threw a tennis ball at him. Then they showed it in slo-mo. It was like them wanting to get viral hits like Fallon but not having a clue how to set up anything like that. Now it's very low hanging fruit and he basically sleepwalks his way through each night with the easiest of jokes. Seth Meyers is easily better, no question.

Thread: Why in-game achievements aren't widespread on the Switch?
Achievements/Trophies are fantastic. I cannot praise them enough. Those who compare them to "lazy game design" are completely misinformed. Here's a few reasons why I enjoy them from both a player and dev perspective: -They get players to do certain objectives they would normally skip. For instance, the easy tutorial trophy- many players skip tutorials altogether and can miss key details that they would have otherwise known via the tutorial. This is a nice way to nudge them into it without having to resort to locking game modes or content away at startup, something that negatively impacts the experience for those who are not playing for the first time. -They can show players fundamentals that the game would otherwise have a hard time relaying to the player. I was playing Gran Turismo Sport last night and I saw one of the trophies was to spend Mileage points on upgrading cars, something I didn't know existed until I saw the trophy despite dozens of hours in the game. Similarly I've seen trophies that describe combos or player moves where I've thought, whoa, I can do that? This is much more rewarding than having a little tutorial bubble appear. -It gives the game a little bit more weight in terms of progression. Getting a bronze for something that takes an hour, vs a gold trophy that you get at the end of the game, makes it all feel more final and adds to the accomplishment of beating the game. -Trophy/Steam Achievement rarity can be a great easy way to get some stats from your player base as a dev. I've seen low rarity on some achievements that I thought were easy to get, and this told me that the game wasn't surfacing the mode or playstyle appropriately or in a way that players were paying attention to. -They add fun challenges that would otherwise not fit within the structure of the game. Using my game as an example, I wanted to do a special achievement that unlocks if a player plays a level in an exact style. This would be awkward to put into the game since it wasn't built for extremely specific scenarios like this, but as an achievement it was very easy and fun to do. -They show up on friend's profiles and are another simple way to surface your game to players who don't know anything about it. There is certainly such a thing as bad trophy/achievement design. I think a lot of the older Uncharted games, where you had to kill people with a specific gun so many times, leads to endless grinding that is not fun at all. Similarly, trophies based on difficulty can be tricky and leads the player into sticking with a difficulty level that may be unfun for their skill level and might discourage them from continuing to play (I was thankful to see God of War skip the difficulty mode trophies). I'd say any trophy that requires grinding can be a slog, and I'm guilty of that as well. Anyways, just my two cents. I hope Nintendo adds them because there is absolutely ZERO reason, NONE whatsoever, that they shouldn't be in there. They are great for everyone, and you can turn them off if you disagree.

What does that make Forza Horizon 3, which sold less than half of what Gran Turismo 6 did and a little more than half of Sport? Turn 10 announced this week that they aren't making Forza 8, and instead are working to improve Forza 7 which had lots of launch issues.

Thread: Why women criticise sexualised character designs (READ OP)
There's one thing that I feel like pointing our about some of the terminology in this thread, specifically the term "objectification". Videogame characters are ALL designed to be objectified. That's one of their key purposes and is a knock on effect of having had someone sit there for hours carefully modelling them, texturing them, rigging them and animating them. They're literally designed to be looked at. Be it, Batman and his famously labour intensive cape or the the painfully buxom girls of dead or alive beach volleyball. The issue is not objectification on it's own, it's all to do with context, balance and intent. If we want to move games out of the domain of teenage boys (which to be honest I think we did 10 years ago for the most part) then we need to realise this. Personally I have no problem with Cammy wearing a thong as long Urien is also wearing one, however imagine if the male characters in 40% of all your games dressed like this for no reason. You might find it a little, boring/ridiculous/uncomfortable/demeaning.

One of the coolest looking character designs I've seen (male or female) ... Was dropped in favour of a more curvaceous and "sexy" model. They even have some dream sequence bits where she's walking around in a negligee for christ sake. I'm sure it makes sense narratively, but it's such a shame they replaced this model. I ended up not playing the game because of it. Not because I was so outraged by BEWBS (I'm not) but because I was disappointed they'd switched out one of the best designs for one that just looked fairly generic.

That's awesome! I wish we had Sephora in the UK. Getting one-on-one time with a MUA is invaluable. I'm thinking of taking a class at MAC, but it's £50 per 90 min session. It's redeemable against product but still expensive.

Thread: Celeste |OT| Straw-belay
Anyone else find it weird that the game revels so much in the death count? I'm really enjoying the game more than I expected, and I enjoyed seeking out all of the strawberries in Chapter 1. It just seems strange that the game let's me hide the speed-run timer and use assists but it won't hide the death count.

Thread: Help - can't finish games any more!
Try not to worry about it. I’ve spent 15 hours of Dead Cells, and it’s lots of fun but I can’t beat the first boss. Pretty obvious I’m never going to finish the game. I found myself unable to progress in Yoku’s Island Express because I found navigation a chore and I often couldn’t find the next objective, so I’ve given up. It’s a shame when games are a mismatch for completion, but most games are about more than the ending.

Thread: SNES Mini Classic Hacking | More games, more borders, more gooder.
Every time I see SNES games played at non-4:3 ratio I die inside a little. It’s like all the folks that think Street Fighter 3 sprites are supposed to be wide and dumpy. I guarantee that no SNES developer was designing their art to be viewed at 1:1 ratio. I did a lot of Amiga artwork in the 90s and dealing with the art ratio was just part of the process.

Anyone else bump off this after a short while? I'm finding it so hard to navigate the world without any sort of guide or signposts for basic route finding, and I don't know what my next objective is. Admittedly I find this to be a common with most Metroidvanias. Once I become stuck I'll backtrack and be completely lost for a long time. Yoku makes this worst because the pinball makes the routes especially strange.

You're essentially starting a new contract, but yeah that's all you gotta do once you get the green light. You can use the Apple website or the Apple Store app to check as well.

Shame Zo didn't get the triple double last night. His shot selection was solid and had a lot more confidence. Sucks we have all these injuries as we'd probably be close to 40 already with BI and Hart back.

Thread: Is Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack any good?
The battles and animation are awesome, but like others have said... everything else is pretty meh. As a standalone, it's a decent spectacle, but you'd get more out of it if you've gone through the mainline UC series prior to it (OG, Zeta). And even then, you might still be disappointed of how they handled the characters.

Thread: New Gundam Breaker - Announced for PS4 - 2018
Started GB3 last night and can't go back to New Kusoge Breaker. Like, wow, what a difference. GB3 (even more so than the previous games) lets you go nuts right from the get go versus consistently fighting the controls in NGB. I don't know why I skipped out on 3 to begin with, but it's so much more of a palette cleanser after jumping into NGB. I've started on the DLC missions first before tackling the story... whoops! But at least I'm picking up some dope parts to build with before jumping in since my GB2 cloud save doesn't seem to work. :( When I'm online, I'll hit you up.

When not compared to any of the other games in the VS series, Versus Force is a solid game. It's the Citizen Kane of Gundam games compared to New Gundam Breaker if we had only had those two to compare against. xD And speaking of Breaker 3, my copy should be arriving today haha. I'll continue to push through NGB until I platinum because it's a pretty easy game and I'm a masochist, but these are my sticking points as to why it's a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge kusoge:That's not counting the multitude of other reasons that have been mentioned before. :)

Developer: Intelligent Systems; DeNA; Nintendo Genre: Strategy RPG Platforms: iOS App Store; Google Play Release: February 2nd All Regions Price: Free with In-App Purchases Requirements: iOS 8 and up; Android w/2GB RAM. In the far reaches of the Outrealms, the two nations, The Kingdom of Aske and the Emblia Empire fight in order to uphold their ideals and protect their sovereignty. The MyUnits of Fire Emblem Heroes, Alfonse and Sharon, summon assistance from legendary heroes of Fire Emblem from across the gate to form a band alliance called the Vice Brave. Alongside these heroes, you are set to defend Aske from invasion and conquest by Veronica of Emblia and her own band of heroes. (CV. Suzuki Tatsuhisa) Prince of Aske; Specializes in Red (Swords) (CV. Maaya Uchida) Princess of Aske; Specializes in Blue (Lances) (CV. Saori Seto) Extradimensional Shopkeeper who finds herself in Aske as their Commander; Specializes in Green (Axes) (CV. Rina Hidaka) Princess of Emblia who manipulates Heroes she summons to invade Aske. (CV. Shinichiro Miki) He's hot. That's pretty much all we know. HOT OLDER BROTHER ON A HORSE BLUE MAGIC HORSE ANGRY GREEN DRAGON And all the other heroes that can you can potentially bribe to join the Vice Brave. Alongside the Vice Brave, you will be traversing map working to rout the Emblia forces all in strategy RPG style. Like in past games, you can choose between a Normal, Hard, and Lunatic difficulty map to attempt and use your tactics to traverse the battlefield and attack the enemy. The missions will be subjected to a Stamina cost, and you will be able to attempt more by waiting or spending Prisma Orbs to go and battle again right away. When choosing to attack an enemy or when being attacked, you will be subjected to the weapon triangle, to see whether your unit is at a disadvantage or not. Follow the colors and you will be okay. Each character will also have their own unique set of stats, support skills, passive skills, and a unique ougi that will activate over a set number of turns. For those who are busy on their commute, an auto-mode is also implemented so that an AI can move for you. At the moment, there is just AI PvP. Actual PvP will be considered to be added at a later date. Like most other smartphone games, there will be events to maintain player base and interest. These will be announced over time. Tower of Training and Arena can be used to go gain experience and level up your units. Your AI PVP where you go fight AI units. We recommend that you do it with a party of Lv. 40 and at Lunatic, and prioritize getting a full 7 win streak. If you can't, then getting a full 7 win streak is more important. You get FEATHERS for scoring at least 4,000 points, ranking, and for defending. A rigged popularity tournament where you can choose your vote and battle with who your favorite character of the pool is and hope they win for rewards. Here you can go and review a summary of all the heroes in your possession From here you can adjust your party composition, learn skills, equip skills, level up, promote units, merge units, and delete units. 2* Upgrade: 20 Feathers 3* Upgrade: 200 Feathers 4* Upgrade: 2,000 Feathers 5* Upgrade: 20,000 Feathers By partaking in story maps and missions, you will be able to collect insignias and feathers that can be used to limit break and upgrade your Heroes' rarity and stats. You can also do this through stacking multiple copies of the same Hero. You can also gain feathers by deleting characters you don't want. As you level up and upgrade your units, they will unlock new skills to help you in battle. As of March 13, we are now able to go sacrifice our formerly useless characters and use their dead remains to feed any other hero of YOUR CHOOSING. How it works is through Skill Inheritance option, where you can sacrifice a unit into another and let them inherit up to 3 SKILLS that are learnable and passable at their respective star rank. As such, some skills will be locked out and unable to pass down because they are only available to 5 star characters. Some skills are also nonpassable, such as unique weapons, class specific skills and weapons (red/blue/green), and type specific skills, (Ward Fighter). Dragon skills are all interchangeable. You can earn Prisma Orbs to go spend and go bribe heroes from other worlds to join your cause. You can spend real life ¥¥¥¥¥ and $$$$$ to go bribe even more heroes if you choose to do so. For every consecutive gacha draw, the orb requirement goes down First Time: 5 Orbs Second, Third, Fourth Times: 4 Orbs 5th Time: 3 Orbs Quote to see Friend ID Google Doc.

Unfortunately, none of the OW crew are really considered optimal for SBR. I've done it with Paikuhan, who is probably the best one out of all of them for the mode since his passive drops their DEF and his SA greatly lowers attack. Which SSJ3 Vegeta did you get?

If Dokkan's been consistently good at anything, it's the soundtrack. Sure the usual themes get boring after three years of them, but the unique battle themes have been on point for ages. Jiren's new track sounds like a Final Fantasy final boss theme, which is super fitting. And Arale's theme is one of my top faves. It's so weird that it's associated with her. Also been putzing around with the RoG and Potara teams. While not having all optimal units for them, they can absolutely still wreck face without a sweat, especially AGL Rose who's aged extremely well with his passive. Have had no issues tackling the UI Dokkan event with both teams, too. RoGPotara

I ran with this until stage 30: - SSJ4 Vegeta - EZA SSJ3 Goku - Rainbow SSBKK Goku - Caulifla - Rainbow Super Vegito - Whis With Whis, I would always aim to have him be at least in the 3rd rotation since that's when I tended to be low enough hp wise for his passive to kick in. I'd also have SSBKK Goku and SSJ3 in the same rotation as they shared the most ki between them. But yeah, Caulifla can be a crap-shoot, but it's nice when her passive kicks in. If not, switch her some an Hybrid Saiyan. This team was not at all viable for stage 30, though.

You really shouldn't have too much issue with that team unless some of your units aren't relatively high in the orb department. I'd rotate the UI Gokus since they're the weak links of the teams until you drop under 50% health or when he gets his dokkan. Have Rose/Zamasu and SSBKK Goku/VB on rotation is what I'd also say as well.

Kefla's cool, but too reliant on PHY orbs. You can't rely on her for consistent offensive output or defense with her medium dodging passive. Although orb changing provides nice support for someone like LR Vegito Blue in a Potara team. Hopefully she gets a dokkan that pushes her dodging to high. And like what Noray said, there's loads of overlap with Realm of Gods.

Followed my heart and did another multi from the 2018 stones we got and finally got UI from the Christmas tickets! Ended up pulling another Gogeta, SSJ2 Saiyaman and AGL GT 17 (new) from the multi as well. I’ve already rainbowed Gogeta, though... :S

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, my SA10 INT Gogeta at no dupe 55% activation is much better than my rainbow STR Gogeta in pretty much everything outside of DEF. Just his passive alone having the 120% ATK boost guarantees it eclipsing STR Gogeta with his +7000 ATK passive. Dat power creep! It will be interesting to see if STR Gogeta gets included in the Extreme Awakening System down the line.

We just work so well together and know each other so well that it's easy and funny to give shit, but I don't want it to become the relationship or have people think that's how I feel about him. Except for the upcoming X-Men: The Last Stand Review. He deserves all the shit I give him there for his terrible movie opinions. Greg

I love it. I wish its puzzles were more well integrated, and that the mini games were less crusty than they are, but the writing and art and overall mood of that game are, to me, still unprecedented in most ways. No game looks like Full Throttle or sounds like Full Throttle. The melancholy ending was the first like it that I had ever experienced and it’s stuck with me too.

The Waypoint story on Police Quest 4 is a good read if folks haven’t checked it out yet. It’s about the internal fallout and public reaction to Ken Williams bringing in the former chief of the LAPD (the one who presided over Rodney King and the LA riots in the early 90s and then refused to resign in what seems like the douchiest way possible) as the new celebrity cop for Police Quest. I didn’t really follow Sierra games growing up and was just young enough to not really grasp the entirety of what was happening with the LAPD when the Rodney King video came out, so I had no idea about any of these connections. It’s a pretty crazy intersection of classic gaming and American culture at large.

That’s the magic of 25 more years of being alive, growing up, and playing dozens of adventure games between then and now. Also you probably had a bunch of it memorized? (Adventure game puzzles somehow stick really firmly in the brain in my experience.) I do wonder if those old games were actually way harder and more involved than new ones, or if what’s really in play is that I was 12 when DOTT came out and I’m 37 now.

Personally, despite the puzzles, exploration, and narrative-driven motivation to continue, I’m worried every moment that I’m playing Silent Hill that a game-system-driven enemy is going to kill me, so it doesn’t occupy the same space in my brain as adventure games. (But you’re right that I do enjoy Silent Hill and that sort of game for many of the same reasons as adventure games! I’m just in a totally different headspace while doing so.)

I’m excited for Lamplight City. It got a new trailer yesterday and is looking nice. It really shows off the elaborate and satisfying pixel art character animation: And , the description of how investigation and working through each story works sounds very intriguing. Sounds like there’s a lot of possibility space in each case and you’re supposed to take your own tack when determining how to solve it, as opposed to just completing a traditional single fixed puzzle chain.

Though I think this recently changed, for about its first decade of existence the Telltale Tool didn’t have any automatic pre-streaming, and loads every asset on the frame the game requests it. So for all but the absolute newest Telltale games, every voice line, texture, animation, etc, load from 0-100% into memory on the frame when they start playing.

Haha I think the reason I said - the dumb aesthetic similarity I allegedly have to David Cage - is why that became a joke on Idle Thumbs. That gif got me so hyped. The establishing shot is a lost art in point and clicks I think. When I think back to Loom and the first two Monkey Island games (and Full Throttle come to think of it!), some of the most striking moments are when it will cut to an epic painting to establish the next scene. Related to establishing shots are cutaways - another lost art I think. It was so damn cool that Thimbleweed Park just bathed itself in ominous and enigmatic cutaway shots. Neil Cicierega was a long time member of the AGS scene in the late 90s/early 00s and it warmed my heart to see he was going to work on a new game project after so many years away doing music and videos. I hope he finishes this. The mood in what little has been shown is great. Haha cheers, that post is all too nice :) I never really saw this thread’s equivalent back on GAF, really happy to know this one exists here.

Yeah that’s the manatee one. I think it wasn’t the best choice to have a manatee in a Monkey Island game - wish it was just a giant sea monster if we had to go there - but the whole team made the most of our own ridiculous early-on decision haha. It’s also the first game I worked on with Sean Vanaman, who wrote that episode. (After that we did episode 5 and Puzzle Agent with Mark Darin, then Walking Dead S1 and Firewatch together.)

I don’t know if Telltale’s Wallace & Gromit is even available for sale anymore but I really liked the 2nd and 3rd episodes at the time. (I worked there and did user interface and menu design on them so I’m biased though.) The most terrifying news in my career was hearing we were getting the Monkey Island license. I still have mixed feelings about it but am proud of a lot of the work we did on Tales of MI. That game targeted the WiiWare download store which made sense at the time because the Wii was a huge deal, but it meant some very not-great technical things, like the download size of each episode had to be tiny. Led to some disappointing things like the character model reuse. One of our goals that I’m proud of, was to try and leave the Monkey Island characters in a better place than we found them. For instance in the original games, I neber thoight Guybrush was an actual buffoon all the time, I think he’s actually pretty competent and determined, and just everyone ELSE thinks he’s dumb. By the later games it seems he’d been rewritten to actually just be a blundering clown. Really wanted Tales, by the end, to put him back in the role of a genuinely determined and passionate adventurer who is misunderstood by a world who doesn’t get him. Similarly with LeChuck - by the end we really wanted him to seem dangerous again. At the end of MI2 in the tunnels he’s so scary, but he got slowly de-fanged over the sequels. Elaine we wanted to try and return to a position of being self confident and secretly in control of the situation even if enacting her plans put her on the razors edge of harm. I don’t think we pulled Elaine off as well as Guybrush and LeChuck at the end, but I’m glad in the end (My background: I was a fairly junior designer on Tales of Monkey Island, but I got to direct episode 3, and co-design and direct episode 5. Worked at telltale from 2006-2012 starting as a forum mod and web designer, ended my time there as creative director on Walking Dead season 1. Before that I was a news writer at Adventure Gamers, ran Mixnmojo.com from the late 90s to mid 00s and also used to run samandmax.net RIP that site.)

Thanks for the thread! <3 Re: NeoGAF, we kinda just ran out of time, we weren’t intentionally avoiding it or anything. JJ and I were mods there literally from day 1 (I think he was user #6 and I was #14), and also on regular GAF before that; obviously seeing it burn down was tough to watch, but the beautiful thing about it (as Resetera has shown) is that it was always about the community first. Which is why it felt so natural and easy to move over here. Both of us helped out with giving the crew here advice in setting up Resetera too. I’m super happy to see it thriving, and glad to see we have a home here for the podcast as well!

OK, so: Maybe there is something deeply hidden in here that'll blow all of our minds. I'd be thrilled. But if there is hidden endgame content, there are no hints that it exists at all. When you beat all eight stories, there are no icons left on the map, and no hints that there's still anything left to do beyond the side quests and optional jobs. The credits roll after you beat your main character's story. So we're talking about something that's very, very well-hidden, not some pivotal second half of the game or anything like that. It'd be a bummer if it were, say, locked until you finished every single side quest.

The world map is sort of composed of three rings, like an onion.

I think this is wishful thinking. As you play through the game, you can look at the world map and see regions you haven't unlocked yet, which are covered in a fog of war but connected to the rest of the world via roads. When you've beaten all eight stories, as I have, the world map will basically all be unfogged. There are no dangling roads or secret regions to find as far as I can tell. I even spent some time poking around some of the perimeter areas to try to find one.

No, I think I still would've been extremely aggravated by the repetition. As I wrote in my review, even the bosses are sometimes clones of one another - every single Chapter 2 boss is identical, with two minions that lock off the boss's weaknesses until you defeat them. When I talk about repetition, I'm not just talking about the dungeon layouts - literally 31 of the 32 chapters are the exact same thing. You go to a town, do some Path Actions, watch some cut-scenes, go into a dungeon, and beat a boss. The routine gets so damn old. Combat being as good as it is makes the game feel like far less of a slog than it could have otherwise, but the repetition is no small thing.

It is a fact that the stories are entirely standalone. There are a few references and shared NPCs across the stories, but the stories do not intersect at all. You're probably thinking of the optional vignettes that you can watch during each chapter, which is the only time that your characters interact.

Polygon's article is a good example of how the game can be extremely charming for its first few hours (the writer says he hasn't finished it all) but once you've played through all 32 chapters, the repetition really gets at you. And, to answer a question many of you have, there is no epilogue or final chapter, despite the misinformation that was floating around. The stories do not intersect at all. Nintendo tells me there's some sort of post-game content but couldn't tell me what it was or how to unlock it, so we'll see what that turns out to be.

No, there is not a world of difference.

Thread: Octopath Traveler: Preview Thread
Let me be clear. This guy : "Towards the beginning, it's a series of vignettes that tell individual stories that hold up on their own, followed by huge payoffs that deal with the ensemble cast." That is 100% not true. It is misinformation. Whether or not there is some sort of bonus when you've finished all of the characters, this is a game about eight entirely different stories, each with a beginning, middle, and end. To say "towards the beginning, it's a series of vignettes" and "followed by huge payoffs that deal with the ensemble cast" is entirely misleading, no matter what may happen post-credits. By all means feel free to drive yourself crazy hunting for clues that there's some big mystery here, or you can just listen to someone who has seen the credits of the game and is telling you that the characters' stories all end on very conclusive notes, wrapping up their tales and hitting the emotional beats you'd expect from endings. I wouldn't be totally shocked if maybe you unlock some sort of tough dungeon after beating all eight, but each story has an arc of its own. You will enjoy them far, far less if you are just waiting for them all to intersect. And with that, I'm done posting in Octopath threads until my review is up - see you guys then.

Again, I've seen the credits roll. If there something after beating all eight -- and there's been no indication that there is -- it's not going to suddenly change the nature of this game, which is about eight separate stories. What people don't seem to be getting is that the characters' stories are all entirely standalone, with beginnings, middles, and (conclusive) ends. And now I've gotta get back to work.

Just to be clear, as I've said before, what's most offputting about Octopath isn't the lack of an overarching plot, it's the fact that each story pretends that none of the other characters exist. Every time you do a new chapter for any given character, you'll only see that character in all the cut-scenes -- nobody else will appear or talk. (The "banter" scenes are short, optional, and take place outside of the main story.) Considering this game is about eight people teaming up to travel the world (why? it's not clear), this is really fucking weird and unsettling. I understand why the designers did it -- there are too many possible party permutations, and you could even just be playing as that one character -- but that doesn't make it any less bizarre. Despite this, to repeat again because few people here seem to be listening when I say this, I am still very much liking the game.

When the map has both characters' markers in the same place, that just means that both chapters are located within that same city. Not that they interact.

Random fights don't take too long once you've got a full party, and in fact, they feel more meaningful than your average JRPG random encounter because you have to be thinking and paying attention the whole time. Can't just mash the A button. I really, really like the combat system. Lol @ people in this thread acting like I hate this game because I said lines like "could be an instant classic" and "the official Final Fantasy XVI may still be quite a few years off, we firmly believe that it’s already arrived under a different name" were hyperbole.

Is this a joke? In the first 20 minutes, you're alternating between parties of Moogles to defend Terra from a gang of invading soldiers. Within the next hour you're stealing uniforms from merchants and soldiers, zipping through an underwater tunnel, uncovering the mysteries behind a ghost train, and feeding raw meat to a wild kid in order to convince him to join your party. Soon enough you're participating in an opera and stealing an airship. The game is constantly throwing new ideas at you, and although the combat system doesn't change much, nothing about the game feels repetitive because there's so much variety at every turn. Octopath Traveler can be summed up as: Go to a new city, enter a new dungeon, fight boss, repeat. It's nothing like FFVI.

I am about 20 hours in, doing Olberic's Chapter 3 as we speak. I've done all of the Chapter 1s, and 5/8 of the Chapter 2s. One other thing I haven't mentioned is that party members who aren't in your active party (of four people) don't get experience, which is a real pain in the ass. My main characters are Olberic, Tressa, Cyrus, and Ophelia, and they're all around level 30. The other four characters have been sitting in my reserves, so they're all under 10. But when I wanted to do Primrose's Chapter 2, which has a recommended level of 20-something, I needed to take her out of the reserves and put her in my main party, so she was just useless for that entire chapter because she was so wildly under-leveled. By the time I had finished it, I think she was only like 15? Again, this game has a lot of structural problems. OK, I have to get back to work. See you guys later.

From the getgo, Final Fantasy VI is a barrage of character interaction (none here), gameplay variety (also none here: you're just going through dungeons and fighting bosses), and strong narrative surrounding one compelling central villain (none here, at least so far). This game is absolutely nothing like that.

One of the fundamental strengths of JRPGs is the way characters interact, grow, and talk to one another along the journey. It's disorienting to play a game that has none of that. And unlike, say, SaGa Frontier, you don't get unique party members for each character's story -- you just have your eight main characters, and that's it.

Yes, not only can you choose which chapter to go through in any order you'd like, you can pause each one, go do something else, then continue where you left off. So you can either do all the Chapter 1s, then all the Chapters 2s, etc. Or you could do a couple of Chapter 1s, grind for levels, then do a couple of Chapter 2s. Or you could hypothetically just do Chapter 1 and 2 and so on with only a single character.

Look, as one of the biggest FFVI fans on the planet, let me just say that from what I've played so far I'd advise relaxing with the "all time classic" stuff. At least wait for proper reviews -- ones from people who don't worship at the altar of hyperbole. It's not that this is a bad game, but the repetitive structure and lack of party interaction are no small thing.

The reason to go around and do all eight characters is because the Chapter 2 level recommendations are in the 20s while you'll be around level 10-12 after getting four. So you can either grind for levels or you can go do all eight Chapter 1s.

I have talked to dozens of developers about this, at both first- and third-parties, and the widespread belief is that Sony is targeting 2020. I say "probably" because with hardware, everything is subject to change at any given time (Microsoft launched the Xbox One in November 2013 even though they were ~6 months behind schedule). But if you spend the next year obsessively checking this thread and looking for 2019 clues in job listings and shit like that, you're just gonna drive yourself insane.

I just think any attempt to top the lightsaber fight from The Phantom Menace, on Tatooine, with just Maul and Obi-Wan, would never hit the mark. That's why Filoni handled it the way he did. It's perfect as is. Maul's arc ended so well already - and fans of the TV series already know that.

hmm, a little bit perhaps, but seemed like a stylistic choice overall and worked for me fine in Laser IMAX. also - I assumed L3 would end up as the Falcon computer based on all the lines from ESB where Han makes C3PO talk to the Falcon.... they also tied droid brains into I think the Last Jedi novelization as Black One has a droid brain that hasn't been wiped in a long time. When things like that hit the books, it's usually a tie in to something a filmmaker wanted to do --- and with the Kessel Run, the game of Sabacc and everything else, it felt like a lot of the lines about and around the Falcon would be referenced here. I also think it's funny that they had to retcon Corellian Spike... the Force Awakens describes the gold dice as the ones Han used to win the Falcon in a variant of Sabacc that uses dice AND cards. No longer :)

no, Lucasfilm has desperately been trying to get to summer because you don't have weather / holidays potentially hosing you. They realize people may not keep Star Wars the annual holiday tradition forever. Episode IX was scheduled for next may until JJ demanded more time to come on for the movie. They want to be in summer with good weather. Winter storms could devastate a Star Wars opening.

Thread: Board Gaming Era |OT| (Mostly) Unplugged Gaming
the game went through a really rough spot between Set 2-> Set 3... pretty unbalanced. The first 2 sets were fueled by speculation and you couldn't find it. now it's been stretched out forever between sets, which I largely believe due to excess stock of Set 3 and Set 4 laying around on retailer shelves. Essentially retailers had been putting in insane orders hoping to get 20-30% of their order (at best)... and then at Set 3 and Set 4, those orders were 100% shipped, and suddenly there was a giant glut of product. it's a pity because set 4 is really well designed and the game is in a really good place right now - and it looks like the future sets are going to only continue that Some other warning signs of I've noticed: 1. No kids playing 2. The amount of space a collection takes up... the dice just add a ton of space requirement to the game.

not it is, but like Meowth was like a 70% chance or something. Now it's like 35% and Rattata is 35%. (pulling those numbers out of nowhere) So your odds didn't really change, you just get more variety in the "common hatch" slot.

I think it's why you see a lot of community oriented games industry people flame out or move on to other things in the industry or outside of it. it takes a toll over time, for sure. Some can compartmentalize that differently than others

So if I have this correct: The budget-priced movie-tie-in Ratchet & Clank game we made (which got an 85 metacritic and is the most successful Ratchet/Insomniac game of all time) is making you concerned about our biggest production ever? ;-) I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

I haven't followed the later models - but this was actually the recommended setting by calibrators because going from TruMotion 0 to Trumotion 1 doubled the motion resolution of the television on the 6 series - I believe. Or something like that. Anyways, it's not the usual TURN ALL TRUMOTION OFF on the 6 series OLEDs.

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
We have a Z9D in the office, and it is awesome and cool, but I don't think the extra brightness is THAT much better than the blacks of the OLED. In a proper viewing environment I'd still take the OLED. That said, the Z9D is a good choice, and if it's a particularly bright room, it might be the better selection. It kind of goes back to when I used to sell Plasmas, people would want them on walls with windows and wondering if it was bright enough / glare issues. That may not be the best application. I will say overall, the combination of Dolby Vision and OLEDs has made for cinematic viewing that eclipses a fair number of my actual theatrical experiences in recent years, which is kind of the first time I've actually thought that despite chasing it for 15+ years now

I've played a bunch of classic games via Framemeister and via SNES Classic. no issues there either. it's just not a problem. like, right now, my TV is paused and has been for an hour, I'm not worried about it. I woulda been on my Panny Plasma, but I've done it enough on this TV I know it's not an issue. my only major advice is use the ISF settings and not VIVID etc. If you're in torch mode you're far more susceptible to image retention.

I've had an LG OLED for 2 years. I've had games where I've put 100 hours in. I've watched tons of stuff like CNN or ESPN with static tickers / logos on the screen. There's NO burn-in issue. I have literally left my TV on a paused image for HOURS, on a couple of occaisions, and had no problem. Yes it can sometimes retain imagery for a brief period - but in full color programming, you can't see this for very long or at all. It's been a complete non-issue. Don't set your TV to Vivid, don't be irresponsible with static imagery, and honestly, don't even worry about it that much

Thread: Waypoint - "We Asked Nintendo, Microsoft, and 12 Other Devs How They Deal With Crunch"
It's fairly typical in a lot of studios. When they need to ramp up contractors are brought in on a short term (anywhere from 6 months to over a year) basis. EA, Activision, Sony all do this. With more heads, you can distribute the workload better and you minimize crunch. There is also a reliance on outsourced development houses, sometimes in the US and others like Virtuous in China that make their bread and butter on being able to provide high levels of quality with good turnaround rates. Obviously you can't ramp up on a dime, and this takes a lot of planning but a lot of studios have been doing this for the past decade (and even longer) in order to keep up with production scopes.

Thread: Anyone remember when you could start a game and it would just work?
It can be very expensive to ship a game with game-breaking bugs, and even then you really can't get away with this. When you submit a game to Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft you are essentially paying money to rent their QA teams to test the game and make sure it doesn't fail their checklists. This can be a huge cost (like $20,000 per submission) for a larger title. And just so you know, there were bugs that shipped before internet patches were a reality, but they were often fixed in subsequent printings of the games. Just not publicized like patch notes.

Thread: Chrono Trigger is on Steam (Fan patches now being released)
Oh hey everyone! Glad you liked the article. Also looks like you've been following along with Jed's mod tools. Good stuff, he did the same for FFVI. From the looks of it, the double set of in game assets presents a problem. If *EVERYTHING* was double scale, or *EVERYTHING* was single scale with a shader applied, it would represent a fairly straightforward opportunity for a clean modding solution. As is, it's... complicated. If everything was double scale, you could just create mods to pop in cleanly refiltered or perhaps even redrawn from scratch in HD sprites for a "true HD" mod. However, because they're mixed in along with original res sprites, the only non-super-complicated solution seems to be putting pixelated (non filtered) sprites into the double scale assets, and at least recover some integrity that way. I haven't checked too closely yet as I've been busy, but this may still present a problem with "mixels" as the game might very well be sloppy about keeping the double-scale sprites on a double-scale grid, so sprites could get misaligned. And then there's still the UI elements to content with. I think with Jed's tools and other efforts a fairly respectable version of this game is possible, but it'll still probably fall a bit short of what could have been. Promising, though.

Alright. next up, text legibility. Because presently the function screen utilizes the ERA purple, any light color will work. Because we flip from light neutral gray to a dark neutral gray, legibility will be key for notifications. A couple of our options: Basically, we can do either white, or a very light purple / pink. It may not necessarily read as "pink" with general use regardless. Anything darker, and it's difficult to read in the lower content screen. Thoughts?

Yeah, you read that title correctly. After s fair amount of time, a little hand wringing, and a kind of a weird DM to Cerium, here were are. I've had no shortage of requests for an Era dynamic theme, we just finished up with E3, we're in the middle of some other stuff, but now seemed like a reasonable time. This is being conceived, first and foremost, as a community project. Something to help ease the doldrums of summer (seriously, who actually plays videogames, anyway?). I will consider any constructive input that you folks want to give. Our mission will be to create a premium-quality dynamic theme that will feature much of the proprietary programming I've developed over the years (it was kind of strange to write that).

Depends on your role but I know many who crunch at T10 and work weekends when needed. They were better than most but the trade off to that is the amount of creativity allowed and what amounts to tuning an experience vs building one up from scratch. Also correct that gaming pays less at MS but often requires more hours.

Thread: Petty and/or irrational reasons you're turned off from games
Bad UI with no options to turn it off. Timers added for no reason that have fail states. I don’t mind having them for those who want the challenge but they should be optional. Artificial difficulty, meaning things are just scaled against the player vs actual skill required in being better at mechanics the game offers during gameplay. Poor save systems. Oh I can’t stop here? Welp I’m out. Online required even for single player. No bots for offline play in mp games.

Yup, its also to appeal to more than just sim racing fans as there are not enough of that target audience to satisfy the costs of development and stay in business. People get a kick out of seeing a car they own or have driven in game.

If you like The Horizon side of the Forza franchise then you should seek out other more arcade racing games. Have you tried the Forza Motorsport series? GT will be closer to that ie simulation driving on real tracks. Very different than a horizon game.

Thread: I went to an arcade today
I'm aware of that, just saying in general these type of games were more prominent when I grew up in arcades and consoles. I really miss the Ridge Racer series as well. There was also an amazing off road game I used to play in the arcade as a kid as well but I can't remember the name of it. I play across all platforms so of course I am always for content being available to as many people as possible regardless of ip ownership. I think you will see more of this in the future with content being released on mobile or publishers like Microsoft happy to have things like Minecraft be available everywhere. Nintendo has also released things exclusively overseas like Mario Kart VR, and content on Nvidia Shield.

This is correct. Forza Horizon 4 will be available on game pass at launch. Previous Forza games have not been added to the service. FH4 is the first Forza post the announcement of all first party titles debuting on game pass. However Forza Apex , I believe is free to try and is basically a scaled down Forza Motorsport 6 with exclusive challenges. Forza Horizon 3 has a demo available. If you’re a fan of arcade racers you’re doing yourself a huge disservice not checking out the Horizon series. Caveat: I worked on the Motorsport series.

Thread: Kotaku: GW2 writers fired after Twitter argument. GG pressured firing.
It’s just one reason I steer clear of social media. When I saw this story break I was kind of shocked as I have crossed paths with Jessica before years ago. It’s a small industry. For people who think her reaction was odd , as a minority woman who has been in gaming as long as Jessica it really is true; I have to always be ready to defend my position much more than my male colleagues despite my experience and accolades. I only mention this because if that has happened to you over the years you can be somewhat mentally stuck and if you’re not careful every piece of “feedback” can feel like yet another attack no matter how nicely it’s worded. In fact the “nicer” it appears can be even more triggering. It’s tiring to stay quiet , most of us have for YEARS. I assume she has gotten more outspoken over the years. It’s important to recognize this within yourself , it’s how bias is grown within justified or not it filters all your interactions. That might mean pausing a few days before replying or apologizing if you misinterpret someone which happens a lot on social media and within the workplace. It also might mean recognizing you are not in a place for meaningful back and forth and ignoring comments. Twitter probably isn’t the best medium for what she was sharing given her past interactions on the platform where it seemed she felt under attack. That too can affect how one reacts. I think as a developer working for someone else you have to decide to either engage with customers and non customers or not. Either way you are representing the company. MMO fans especially have always had strong opinions on the game. Most developers are the opposite of PR and don’t have others running their social media accounts to provide screened replies. Developers tend to be very emotionally charged when speaking about their work. Her response wasn’t the best but I’ve had harsher ones I’ve said in person lol. I think the bigger issue is whether her interactions broke policy at Arenanet or was the “uprising” which included many non Arenanet fans enough pressure for Arenanet to terminate two long time employees. As others have said I tend to believe this was an opportunity Arenanet used to do something they always wanted to do anyway but lacked cause. Even though Washington is an at will state, companies tend to be very careful when getting rid of employees. Can you imagine Steve Jobs on Twitter and his reactions to “designers” giving him feedback on product launches? I wish he was around today because the meltdowns would be amazing.

I totally agree with this, even my youngest brother noticed the same thing about the friends set. I think they would be much more popular not forcing that color pallete on everything. Its fine to use when it makes sense but it seems very forced on some of their better builds. I think the very same thing. Luckily I am still focused on getting a few sets I missed so not really ready for custom MOC work yet. I look at the mall Jang built and I would love to know how much that cost as well. When I went to brickcon this year in Seattle, saw lots of amazing layouts with custom everything which no doubt had to be pricey. I'm sure many people build over time which helps break up the costs but still. Awesome work! This set is definitely an example of a set they dont need to force that color palette on to be successful imo.

60th anniversary freebie is one alot of people will be shooting for. I have about 140.00 of credit and I think I will apply it toward Assembly Square to qualify for the promo. After that I will be taking a lego wallet break. No reason for me to buy any new sets until they are closer to retirement and discounted. Amazon seems to discount to 20% then 30% - 40% for most sets if you just wait a bit. My most recent purchase: I was able to get Kylo Ren's Tie Fighter from Target for $40.00 after price matching Toys R Us. So this year was full of lots of learning for me but I think I have a system that wont leave me homeless lol. I will be keeping an eye out on Lego Shop exclusive freebies but all in all I did quite a bit of catch up last year. Now I have a ton to build. If anything I want to grab a few more retired creator houses and early 1990s lego system sets.

Speaking of no room for Lego. I spent all day yesterday breaking down sets I have not had time to build. Basically broke down boxes, put all that would fit inside one of the bigger sets empty box. Took each lego set , threw the bags and instructions faces toward the front in ziplock bags. I was shocked I even go the Ultimate Spiderman Web Bridge in one (2.5 gallon). I then took those bags and put them in storage containers. I ended up with one container full of speed champions, the others mostly city and some super hero. I think I easily broke down around 40 sets. I still have quite a few bigger sets I can break down to save room. How does everyone else manage storing sets they haven't built yet or sets they break down after building?

Just starting to build my lego city out. Starting out building out the neighborhood. Built one of the retired Lego Homes I got from this year's Brickcon: I then realized that the recent creator sets really require you to buy more than one and somewhat create your own modulars. I understand why Lego did this, so try to keep the creator series more affordable and save details for the bigger modulars. Boy it really complicates when trying to build a city. I also am not a big fan of the cars in the older creator sets. I love speed champions but those are of a completely different scale. My city may just have big cars lol. I think my first custom modular will be Corner Deli, I grabbed 4 of those sets on sale. *my wallet is sad* I also really want to get the rest of the older creator houses , so I guess I will hit up bricklink. The next one I want is The Apple Tree House Also realized I need road tiles, and more green tiles since the newer creator sets stopped using the full size tiles Which I guess also goes to them keeping prices down. I will definitely share pics once I have more than one thing built lol. Just getting a table for this took me months. Hoping for some down time over holidays to make more progress other than hoarding sets.

I'm not big into star wars but I do follow what resellers think on various sets to help decide how to prioritize when to get sets without going completely broke. This Hoth set just doesn't seem to be a "good" one for those who actually like the theme. It will also most likely see another price drop, so no harm waiting imo. I know resellers picked up a few of these but only in modest quantities, they don't seem to be concerned about availability of the set and seem to think it will get cheaper before it "retires".

Thread: LEGO ERA |OT| Rebuilding One Brick at a Time.
Sadly I saw all over the internet lego "fans" missing the point when it came to the women of NASA set. It just reminded me of the people not getting black lives matter and screaming all lives matter. On the bright side it was the number one seller in the toys section on amazon and was showing as back ordered on the US lego shop upon release. Also saw lots of men buying the set for their technical wives and/or daughters. As a double minority working in tech I will be grabbing a few of these sets. i totally agree , we need these sets because if we didn't there would be no ranting , it would be treated like any other set. Disappointing to hear about Jang but not shocking as I encounter Jangs all the time in my career. They seem nice , competent then one day they slip and let their true feelings come out.

So what is everyone currently building and/or hoarding? For me Building: Ultimate Batmobile I got for my birthday back in August. I love vehicles so could not resist multiple vehicle builds combining into one. It's a fun build so far but I've been so busy it's taking me a long time to build. Hoarding: old school lego system, town, racer sets. Recently got some mini shell racers and One of the old school spyder Porsche racers.

After taking a pretty long break from VR on all platforms (about 3 months) just due to not having free time and nothing really jumping out at me, I was waiting for this patch for what seems like forever. It does not disappoint. As others have said they pulled off quite a feat here. I am super impressed with their default comfort options, as well. This is coming from someone who spent almost a year working consulting with Oculus VR on a few projects. So I have a deep understanding into the many issues around comfort, and accessibility the industry as a whole is facing and actively trying to solve. As a huge wipeout fan, its amazing how natural the game feels in VR. Almost as if it was meant to be in VR all along.

Well its either a bug that didn't get fixed or prioritized for the build (yes sometimes as a developer you have local fixes ready to go and you are not allowed to check into the main build for various reasons) or it was done on purpose to see its effects on player progression. Its that simple imo. Hope they fix this as it would help immensely on many fronts.

I know many have wondered why DICE hasn’t pushed a progression patch. The patches for bugs you see are usually done before ship and were deemed not important enough to risk missing the ship date. Given the attention the progression issues have gotten and how deep it’s integrated into the game , there is no doubt multiple solutions being talked about and evaluated from a development feasibility POV to a legal one. My guess is they need approvals from executives at EA, Lucas and Disney and other stakeholders who are OOF due to Thanksgiving. Even if they as developers know what they want to do they have to jump through internal hoops and at this point there are many who want to be looped in and have opinions as well. Not giving an excuse just sharing from my own experience shipping a Star Wars game.

Having a blast thus far. Bought it to support my fellow artists in the industry and boy did they deliver. I don't like Star Wars other than Vader (I have a thing for villains) , so I have no real loyalty to the brand. I just loved the first one so much for being a much more light- hearted BF type game. I cant believe there is no galactic assault in arcade mode, if any mode belongs there its that. Hope they add it soon. I dont have any cards equipped so when I do get kills , I hope the other person feels bad they got killed by someone with NO cards equipped lol.

That was going to be our team’s focus. Internally at big companies it works pretty similar to if you were pitching a publisher from the outside.

No as I mentioned before they sold people on one thing but the business pushed it in a different direction. This happens all the time especially at bigger companies. It was a huge hit on morale which is why most gaming focused people left the group as soon as they could once it was clear things were not headed in a direction they expected career wise.

Sort of. At times the business requires something and they look around and go why not that team? Some leaders are able to talk their resources out of it, other leaders can't as they have nothing else for their teams to do. Some leaders see it as an opportunity to further themselves by agreeing to do what noone else is willing to do at the company at the expense of those under them. At a certain point you may have lots of people under you, budgets get cut, so its either shift your resources or they get laid off. That is a big challenge at a company like MS where gaming is not the core focus of the company. The other thing is people have careers just like any other medium. Kinect was interesting but moreso for people who were devs, and UI/UX. If you were an artist or a game designer those type of games just don't translate well when it comes to your portfolio and experience. Kinect games were driven by tech, so while your other industry cohorts are working on new high fidelity art for next gen you are doing KA. Just doesn't add up. Now some people didn't really care, as they were somewhat done with their careers (gaming, film), and were fine with trying something new. I worked with Daniel. Super smart guy. He left MS before the kinect train began. He was part of the 1vs100 team only he was working on another game that was in production at the same time. It was pretty cool, but was never released. Daniel was very adamant that MS was going the wrong way by always focusing on marketing the same type of games like Halo/Gears. Not everyone is into to shooting up things and he really believed in making games that were different. The 1vs100 team was also a really special team, full of people willing to take a different view on what gaming could be.

GS alum here. GS worked on many Kinect related initiatives including Kinect Adventures, Kinect Funlabs,etc. We were an incredibly talented team full of carefully recruited industry veterans (people from god of war, mass effect , films like spiderman,etc) The initial plan was we were to just help the Kinect initiative and thus we shipped KA. We were then supposed to move to a new ip on the next Xbox (which would become Xbox1) Instead we worked on additional Kinect content, then had to help our publishing side with Kinect Star Wars. Then GS was broken up into multiple project teams. We focused on interactive tv initiatives then hololens. As the project teams grew they were simply branded. Not full blown studios the way Good Science initially was. As hololens became the focus , gaming subsided and many game focused people left. The branded project teams mostly were prototype teams. Eventually the entire group (NEXT) was moved out of the Xbox organization into Windows. As of today the entire group has been disbanded and work moved to other teams per reorganization announcements you can find online.

I see this a lot. You are not abusing free trials. When you sign up you give your data away and companies like Amazon begin tracking your every move within their ecosystem. This is valuable to them. Not to mention that many who sign up for these trials won’t remember to cancel them or will decide the benefits are worth their while which is a conversion metric they can track. Free trials drive business otherwise companies like Amazon would have scrapped them ages ago. The old adage is true nothing is free , especially when dealing with businesses. I remember when many had similar sentiments regarding Netflix trials. Netflix is doing just fine and still offers trials. Others are right that Prime is pretty big in the US. It’s a great set of games they are giving away especially if they are drm free once you download them from the client. Not everyone cares about achievements,etc in comparison to being able to play a few games for “free”. I assume no steam keys for now because their client goal is set up to focus around and stream to twitch and in the future they want a more gamer centric storefront streamers can push sales thru. Interesting to watch but I don’t see why anyone would be confused in others showing interest. As long as developers are being compensated for their content, options are a good thing.

Thread: I just Watched The Last Jedi, why was it controversial??
My biggest issue with the movie is the way it discards so much of what was set up in Episode VII. I'm assuming the throne room battle in TLJ is roughly half-way through the movie, so at halfway through the trilogy Snoke is discarded and the whole mystery surrounding Rey is just a big "it's nothing" burger. Flynn is wasted, Luke is dead... Where are the remaining characters going? All that's really left is the showdown between Rey and Kylo for Episode IX and the path the story took to get there was kind of... for nothing? And contradictory. Going forward I hope they outline a story arc for future trilogies as the approach they took with this one was not successful. I don't think there's anything that Episode IX can do to "'fix" it. The other small stuff (humor, Leia space force powers, etc..) I can overlook even if I'm not 100% sold on them. Oh, but Canto Bight was awful. Easily the worst part of the movie for me.

Thread: Fortnite for Nintendo Switch is up on the US eshop
I wish there was some type of tutorial for this game. Even just a quick, 2 minute, here are the basics of building type of thing. Although, with as large as the maps are I suppose you can just go into games and spend a significant amount of time teaching yourself. Still... I find this game somewhat intriguing... I just don't have the time to get deeply into it unfortunately.

Thread: Fortnite for Nintendo Switch is up on the US eshop
I just checked this out. I've never played any other version, but nothing about the game gave me the impression it's a terrible port. Looked decent (undocked) and ran fine (fairly steady 30fps). Netcode seemed solid as well. Seems like a fun game, but not sure I have the time to dive into it properly.

Thread: [New York Times]: In Denmark, Harsh New Laws for Immigrant ‘Ghettos’
This story is completely anecdotal, but it's a bit relevant and I also find it funny. My girlfriend was born in Denmark, but moved to the U.S. when she was one year old. We were in Denmark last fall visiting her family and during our trip we spent an evening with a married couple who are friends of my girlfriend. Over dinner politics and Trump came up and the two Dane's had a great time laughing about Trump and his wall along the Mexico border. This is all fine. What blew my mind was that they then immediately transitioned the conversation into complaining about all of the middle-eastern/Muslim immigrants and what a problem it is and how it must be solved etc... The irony was astounding. They sounded *exactly* like Trump supporters who want the wall built! I just laughed to myself on the inside and didn't comment. I don't particularly enjoy discussing politics in public and certainly not over dinner with people I just met two hours prior.

Yeah, it could be a lot of fun--especially for multiplayer. Imagine a sort of Mario Kart power-up system (random) with all kinds of variations on the grappling hook ability. Of course, you could also make rewarding the power-ups skill or event based (as opposed to random) as well. Either way, maybe something to think about :) Ha! ;p

This looks pretty cool! Is there any skill involved in using the grappling hook that grabs the chests? And what about power-ups/abilities for the grappling hook? Something along the lines of an auto-target hook that automatically grabs the lowest chest out of the air without the need to be in the chest's "lane?" Things like that could add some additional depth/fun to the game. Especially the multiplayer. Not criticizing the game in any way. I just immediately had these thoughts while watching the game play video :)

Well, like I said, very generally speaking... lol This looks fantastic! And yes, making the environments feel alive and lived in goes a long way! These look great! I think the 60 pixel height sprite would work perfectly fine for a modern game, although if you were using a 640x360 native canvas you would have a large viewport--meaning a lot of the environment around the player would be visible. We ended up going with a 480x270 pixel canvas for Bushiden as we felt too much of the surrounding environment was visible/exposed using 640x360 with our sprite sizes and tile sizes. The only drawback there to me is that we can't scale evenly to 720p. Anyway, it all becomes a balancing act and you are smart to be thinking about this now and doing tests.

Thanks! We just aren't currently supporting 720p. The only thing that bothers about that is a potential Switch port, but there's plenty of development time left to find a solution. The PC version offers a variety of resolutions (all even scales of the native res) and then we offer a "full screen" option which will scale the game to whatever resolution your monitor is. Only a monster would use that option if their monitor resolution isn't an even scale of the game resolution though lol. 960x540 on a 720p screen is acceptable in my opinion. And who knows, maybe we end up using a 640x360 native res. It would only take me 20 minutes or so to implement that.

Thread: Indie Game Development |OT 2018| Come, help, learn, show and tell!
Thanks, guys, but that's not really what I'm getting at. I don't have any issues implementing the lerp function for camera movement. But when your camera is following your player as the player moves you are essentially changing the start and target positions of the lerp every frame. Which... is sort of incorrect usage for the lerp method. This is also why the lerp produces the laggy camera (assuming the time/percentage value is not too high). I think this explains what I'm getting at nicely: So... just wondering if anyone has taken this into account or if everyone just changes start and target value every frame and adjusts time/percentage value.

Thread: Indie Game Development |OT 2018| Come, help, learn, show and tell!
Question for those of you who have implemented a camera and used a lerp or smoothstep function for moving it in a 2D game... How did you handle the fact that the target is (or can be) constantly moving? I suspect most people haven't accounted for that and are happy with the results. However, that's technically not how a lerp function should work as the start position and target position should not change until the lerp is finished. Yet, that is not ideal for a situation where a character is moving and the camera is following using a lerp method. Have you guys just fed the lerp method an updated start position and target position every frame (as the player is moving) or have you implemented something more complex?

How is Instagram for promotion? We are still working at building awareness of our game and I think we have most of the bases covered, but we don't have an Instagram account. Is that a worthwhile time investment? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for gaining exposure on Reddit? I don't use it much, it doesn't make as much sense to me compared to a traditional forum like this, and most of the gaming-related subreddits I've found make it pretty hard to share/gain exposure for your game. On the development front progress is going extremely well right now and we are super excited with how everything is coming together.

Thread: 52 Games. 1 Year. 2018.
Reserved: Game #1 - Cat Quest (completed / Platinum'd) This game was originally a mobile game (Android/iOS). I've been seeing it for months but I couldn't play it because I need real controls! Finally it came out on PS4 and I actually loved it. Pretty neat little game. Fun hack/slash and dodging mechanics and the Gamebros made a cool world that was pretty funny and didn't get in your way too much. I dug the bits of lore in there, and the simple RPG grind. Overall took me about 10 hours to platinum (most of my grind was getting all equipment) and I'd definitely recommend it. Especially if you have some down-time and want some quick pick-me-ups. Game #2 - The Sexy Brutale (completed / Platinum'd) What a cool game. It's like a stealth puzzle roguelike. The story is nice, but kind of predictable near the end, but still played out nicely. The mechanics are great, and the power ups you gain work really well in this world Tequila Games created. After a while you get a good feel on which characters are where, what they're doing, and it really adds to setting up this day you keep repeating, and why it's so important, and why things happen the way they did. The platinum grind is ok. I just followed a guide to get all the cards/invitations which took less than an hour. I recommend completing the game beforehand, though. You'll need the abilities anyway, and you'll have a better time getting around the Sexy Brutale! Game #3 - Batman: The Telltale Series (completed/Platinum'd) This game was good, not great. I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes. The story had me hooked and I was really invested in the changes they made to regular Batman lore. But the "twist" in episode 4 didn't sit well with me. It seemed like it was made for shocks instead of making a good character arc, and it made episode 5 have an extremely rushed ending. It was unsatisfying to me. I loved the Joker, though. It makes me want to play season 2. The game ran fine in early episodes, but episode 5 was really bad for me. Stuttering everywhere, voice/lip-sync issues, and the game crashed for me right at the ending! Luckily, it had autosaved not too far ahead of this moment, but still...

I got in at $235. I really like the two designers on the project, so I'll be keeping the pledge. The $5 increments is weird and I while I don't completely understand it, I imagine that the reason is the mini costing a good bit to produce, space it takes up at whatever factory is pressing them, and since only a certain number can be done at a time, the amount of "belt time" they have to reserve for each pressing of it.

What's up AustinEra? I just moved here for a new job. I'm staying up in Round Rock near Brushy Creek. Went to an indie wrestling thing this past Saturday called Party World Rasslin' and it was magical. What cool stuff/ food/ whatever do you all recommend? (outside of what is in the OP) Do we ever do AustinEra meetups? edit: I went to this place called The Rolling Rooster and it was amazing. The best fried okra I've had in my entire life.

Not only that, but the reality is that it's going to be much more difficult for Comcast to put in a bid that is that much better than what Disney is currently offering, have the same approval guarantees, and have the better longterm outlook that Disney has. I simply don't feel they are going to be able to pass muster in terms of what they would potentially be able to put together.

Thread: Sea of Thieves |OT| A Rare Treasure
Last night, my daughter (12), who at one point hated pirates, became one. We spent three hours playing Sea of Thieves together, and our experience isn't one I'd trade for anything. It was a silly and ultimately fun adventure that took us across the seas on the hunt for.... chickens. That's right. Our first voyage was to go find two chickens, a white chicken and a red speckled chicken. After grabbing the animal cages, we set off towards an island we thought might have chickens, and I promptly ran us over a reef. We sank. We laughed. I taught her about ship repair so that it hopefully wouldn't happen again. A kindly merman teleported us back to land, where a new ship awaited. Same voyage active, we went back towards the island, only this time with much less running over a reef. After arriving at the island, which indeed had the chickens we needed, I was side tracked by a flashing light on a nearby island. Swimming to it, I came across a message in a bottle, which gave us a bounty for two named skeleton pirate captains, along with their location. Thinking that may be too difficult, we decided to go turn in our chickens instead. Only we were accosted by a crew in galleon while on approach to the outpost we had to deliver the chickens to. It was a sad day for our sloop, and chickens, as both ended up on the bottom of the sea, along with myself and my daughter. We took some amount of solace in watching over of their crew members get eaten by a shark right as we perished. Now chickenless, we took a new voyage for yet more chickens and set sail to the Chicken Isle, thinking for sure it would have chickens. Guess what? It doesn't. A nearby island had one of the two chickens we needed, but for this request we needed to find the elusive golden chicken. We decided to check the island that had the bounty targets, because why not? Upon arriving, we were attacked by hordes of skeletons. Eventually we strategized the shit out of things, not even AI cheesing, but just leveraging the games systems in an interesting way. Back on the previous island, we'd found some barrels of gunpowder. My intention with these was to find a galleon, sneak them aboard, then shoot them to sink it. Instead, we lined a path that was visible to our ship's cannons with them, and I lured the enemies to the path while she fired the cannons at the barrels. Our plan worked! Both skeleton captains dead, were took both of their skulls and chickens to the outpost and got a sizable gold reward for each. It was just a great time, with her asking if we could play more tomorrow. She had a great time using the sails, being the one to drop the anchor, and call out what she saw from the crows nest. Sea of Thieves is not a game for everyone. It's story is really just the world that's presented and whatever ones players generate. It's doesn't have level based progression or more powerful unlocks or loot that gives you +5 to shooting. Those things are great. I love those things. WoW and Diablo are two of my favorite games ever, and their core enticement is the acquisition of better loot. Sea of Thieves isn't interested in that. It's interested in keeping a level playing field and having any of its progression be in the form giving you more cosmetic options. I've seen complaints about lack of structure or direction, and there not being enough to do. The former is true, and purposeful. The latter result depends on how engaged you are with the act of pirating in general. If sailing around to islands, getting some form of item after an engagement of killing skeletons, catching animals, or finding where X is to dig up treasure, then bringing it back isn't what one wants to do, I understand. It's a lot of fetching, and if gold that you turn into cosmetics isn't enough of a reward for you, you may want to look elsewhere. Griefing exists and is an understandable frustration if you don't know how to work around it, and playing solo, while possible, is not the best way to play all. All this said, I had a pirate adventure with my daughter that no other game allows, and it isn't something I'll forget. I also know it won't be the only story we have, either.

You guys were actually having the conversation I was coming to ask about. I went to Best Buy with the intent of buying a 4k Blu Ray player, but didn't because I already have a One X, and I'd really only be buying the player for Dolby Vision, which seemed silly for a number of reasons. 1) As mentioned, I already have something to play 4k HDR movies. 2) I'm currently trying to reduce clutter as is by going digital streaming when possible. My question was going to be about streaming 4k and DV, and it seems like it's fine? I mean, I still may very well end up with a player and The Matrix come Tuesday, but it's a lot to spend if streaming works nearly as well quality wise.

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
The processor doing the upscaling for older content is mainly what I was looking at, but it seems like the B7 isn't a slouch in this regard either, and I don't know that the difference is worth the extra money. Thanks for the advice.

Bought the 65" B7A last night. Gets delivered Friday morning. Guy at Best Buy tried to sell me expensive AudioQuest HDMI cables for "the best quality." That's still a factually incorrect thing, right? I've always understood it to be, but maybe that's changed.

Now that I'm looking at OLEDs, I know I've asked about the value of the c7 over the b7, but is there any reason to go with the c8 over the b7? rtings still rates the b7a as their best TV, but some of the processing that the c8 does seems interesting.

Anyone have thoughts on this TV? It's right at the tip of my price range at $2500, and is the size I want. I just can't find any information about it other than what is on their site. Are LG IPS generally OK for things like input lag?

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
NO CURTAINS OR BLINDS! My neighbors have to see me watching TV naked. :P (I'll be getting blackout curtains as soon as I get there.) Is the x850 kind of equivalent to my KS8000? I think it looks great. I'm leaning towards size. You'd recommend the Vizio over the Sony? What significant differences are there that would make you choose it? Just wondering, because I don't know why edge lit is a bad thing. I wish more places carried the P-series. Doesn't seem like many places do and only have the E-series. I've gone from projector to a 67" LCD before, so I totally get the shock. I've just never really done much measuring of "optimal distance" but did find the 67" small for a while before adjusting. Thanks everyone for the help so far.

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
Television ERA, I need your opinions! I currently have a 1080p projector that is at 100" for the screen size. We're moving and the new house isn't going to be able to properly support a projector setup (rental, can't exactly drill into the ceiling, etc.), so I'm going to be buying a 4k TV. My budget is ~$2500, and I'm currently considering either something a bit older but bigger (75" Sony x850) or a little smaller but more feature rich (65" LG C7). When it comes to the space I'm going to be filling, here is an image. Unfortunately, I don't have exact measurements and I'm not actually there yet to measure it myself. I'll be setting up the room similar to the image, so my guess is roughly 8-10' between the couch and the TV? Which way would you guys lean? The only thing I think I'd really miss from the x850 is Dolby Vision, potentially. My only 4k experience is with a KS8000 that I currently use for gaming, but that's it. Halp? I'll take any and all recommendations.

Thread: Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now
So due to where we're moving, we're going to replace our 1080p projector with a 4k TV, and we're also going to ditch our current old audio setup and get a dolby atmos sound bar set up, specifically the Samsung K950. I know the N950 is out in 2-3 months and supports DTS-X, but it's literally going to be $900-1000 more than I can get the K950 for right now. Since I've never had DTS-X, it isn't something I'm going to miss, really, and my thought is get the K950 and put the extra money into a better display than originally planned. Any thoughts on this (that aren't 'get a receiver and speakers instead')?

Last vinyl purchased was Metal Slug and I'm hoping the rest of the series get a vinyl release from DD. I started collecting vinyl roughly 5 months ago and it has grown to about 25+. I picked up Dark Souls 3 over at Think Geek, so in the coming weeks I'll be grabbing the other two. I am looking to buy older vinyl from games and flexi Japanese releases mostly. I love the obscurity! I have about 3 flexi discs of compilation tracks, but that's it.

Thread: Why is Gamergate support still so prevalent in gaming communities?
Because "culture war" is a real thing, and it is amplified by two equally powerful actors: paid disruption groups (ie Russian ops in 2016), and bored, disenfranchised youth. Look into Chanology's battles against Scientology to understand the etymology of how these sorts of online ops began, and then look at the story of Kathy Sierra being badgered relentlessly by online mobs all the way back in 2007: Some players in these efforts are entirely disingenuous, and even politically motivated. Others are bored kids who get indoctrinated in the same ways that insecure gang and cult leaders have bolstered their ranks for decades. The root of it all is a strange and sad humanity that is hard to make sense of, because that's usually left to the harassed and abused victims--who should NOT be responsible for undoing painful online assholery. Thus, I encourage you to TAKE A STAND when you see aggressive, dehumanizing idiocy and appeal to decency, especially if you have the bandwidth to do so. The teenager you save today may be the world-changer of tomorrow's online society.

Thread: The controversial ArenaNet firings of Guild Wars 2 writers (READ OP)
Jessica hopped on Twitter today to address the issue and offer what I think is a really important point: ArenaNet's actions, and tactics, were on their face more disrespectful than anything Jessica said to a member of the community. A selection of her posts: Full thread: ArenaNet could very well have redirected this conversation and clarify how a slag aimed at one uninvited Twitter comment, even if you want to call it unprofessional, was NOT equivalent to an attack on all fans and all outside criticism. (Which is the narrative that the mob began to immediately carry and make a game out of.) ArenaNet bought into that false narrative and reinforced it. Props to Jessica for continuing to be vocal about her perspective in the face of so much armchair criticism all over the Internet (not specifically aimed at commenters here, btw).

I haxored some games onto my nephews' SNES Classic when I gave them one for Xmas, and I found that their fave games were a) anything with Star Wars, no matter how shitty; b) any games they could play reasonably well against a grown-up--thus, Tetris with their mom, Super Mario Kart and Super Bomberman with me; c) Super Mario over Sonic. Nobody told them which way to lean, with each series' 2D classics loaded on the same box in the same directories. That's just an unscientific observation.

Thread: LocoCycle is currently free on Xbox One
Every Twisted Pixel game since Splosion Man has been saddled with what I call Twisted Pixel Bosses. These sometimes appear as mini/final bosses, and sometimes they're chunks of an on-rails level, but either way, they force the player to repeat roughly 6-9 times an identical pattern/dodge/vulnerability combo. Each repeat usually takes a while, too, so these drag on and on. You get stuck doing the same task over and over because they didn't bother building any interesting mechanics. Lococycle is riddled with this. Gunstringer and Wilson's Heart, too. Damned shame. They're clearly a funny and talented team in terms of coaxing colorful VFX performance out of hardware (360, every Oculus platform), but Lococycle was the nail in their coffin for me. They have a new VR game at Oculus in the works and it's... well... I dunno. Could turn out great, and it's certainly ambitious. But I'm not ready to pass judgement yet.

exactly. after proving that out, I then sideloaded benchmark apps using ADB, then navigated them with a combination of a connected mouse and a LOT of squinting (the benchmarks were all meant for 2D screens, and Oculus Go renders those kinds of images very weirdly). this required enabling "developer mode" with the smartphone Oculus app. yes. a small, tolerable light will bleed in through that opening if you don't bolt this thing super-tightly to your face. so, either accept light bleed or make the raccoon-face effect more intense.

update: by using the Oculus smartphone app, you can tell an updated Xbox One controller (the ones that added Bluetooth) to pair with a Go headset. I just tested this to play Pinball FX 2, and works fine. (I hate using the Oculus smartphone app, however, as it requires having GPS turned on. sickening move on Oculus's part. I deleted the Oculus app as soon as I got my headset working during the testing phase, since it otherwise doesn't require a connected phone's app to turn on, update, etc.)

Oculus Go's menus don't include an exposed way to connect Bluetooth devices. Worse, while I was able to get a computer mouse working by connecting it with a micro-USB hub, I couldn't do the same with an Xbox One gamepad. Connecting the XB1 pad that way freezes my Go headset every time. Boo, hiss.

No fan. (I'm not sure I've ever tested a commercial VR headset with an internal fan.) As a light headset with a nice nose opening and ear openings (no headphones, remember, it's all "skull bouncing" sound), Go's natural heat dissipation is actually quite good. I had friends put this on and report heat and foggy lenses at first, only to find those issues receded quicker than they expected.

Thread: Once-hyped games that are now completely forgotten
Let's take this all the way back to 1993: Eternal Champions was a huge one hype-wise, coming right after the six-button Genesis/Mega Drive pad had shipped for SFII:SCE. And... it was such a wet fart. Clearly, it had an art budget, but the fighting was laggy and sloppy, with shitty button detection; the art design was way too cluttered to see any of the action; every character had a stupid look and stupider concept; and the sound and music were the exact abomination that gave MD/Gen music a bad rap for years.

My thoughts: start placing blocks and going for obvious 2x2 squares. Then eventually, you'll get one single color sticking out. Get into the habit of placing three-and-one blocks onto those. Get used to not only doing that but recognizing when you have an opportunity to do so. Then find a way to get a few of those one-block peaks scattered around your left and your right. Then leave some "flat" space to put any two-line blocks. The good stuff is when you get into the right headspace to manage 3-and-1 pieces, two-line blocks, and criss-cross pieces whenever they appear. Slap each on their best stack, then do so more quickly each time to chain more multi-block clears. Then turn the music up.

I also promised to take points away from people who don't even post in this thread, so Cream is taking a 50 point hit. If you ever show up in this thread, blame RADRAD.

However, if the new poster uses the secret word in their post (that I will PM to Ithil) so that I know he brought them here, he will gain points. Ithil will continue to get reply points as normal.

You guys, we've got a serious problem. Despite my attempts to mess with Ithil and despite being able to take away quite a few points, he did get Cream to come in here and say so he got a shit ton of points. I have unexpectedly given him a tremendous lead. So, here's what I'm gonna do. If your username is Ithil, and you make a solid post, I'm going to give you 5 points. For every 5 posts by a member Ithil, Ithil will 5 points. This rule is in effect for an arbitrary undecided amount of time., Ithil. Oh and as a warning to the rest of you. If Ithil is still winning by the end of this rule, then they get 100 points.

(First off topic thread on ERA, be gentle) It's a new ERA, but not one that is exempt from age old questions. With your help I'd like to continue answering a question as old as time. For as long as there have been reaction pics, there has been the claim that there is a perfect Simpsons gif or pic in response to everything. During the most obscure and specific conversations someone always manages to weasel in a Simpsons quote and there's always one surprised person who says what we're all thinking. "Man, there really a Simpsons pic/gif/quote for everything". Well let us all join hands in this new ERA and ask ourselves, Post any topic or thing and see if someone can fittingly reply with Simpsons.

Am I misremembering, or did the dpad control scheme on Wii U require you to hold Y to run, while in the Switch version the dpad automatically goes to run speed and has no walk option.

In the Wii U version Y was used to run, roll, and pick up/grab things. The triggers were used for ground pound. You can flip the controls around on this version, but neither of the two options matches the Wii U original. It's baffling.

I remember using L and R to ground pound and break out of the jet in the intro, hit bosses, etc. And in the same control scheme, picking things up with Y, just like the SNES games. Maybe the part I'm misremembering is using L/R to roll, and I'm remembering it as Y like on SNES. I looked up the Wii U controls, and the dpad controls are what I remember them being, with the one exception being it says L/R were used to roll and ground pound.

Technically that's not Mega Man. X is an entirely different character. He'd be a great echo fighter, but he's not the same silhouette. He's taller and leaner, and he's moves would need to be replaced with Mega Man X moves.

I always include a pic, and in the title of the item say whether it's loose or CIB, then grade it based on the condition from there. An "acceptable" loose cart has label rips or tears, scratches, dirty, etc. That's different than a good condition loose cart. Same with a CIB copy. I think "acceptable" as a broad term for loose isn't helpful.

The vitriol on this board and at Reddit has been pretty outrageous. I honestly expect better from here but am more and more frequently being disappointed by how some outliers are acting on this board in general. Thankfully that one joker a few pages back was banned. Doug, you gotta remember that even when you see more negativity than not, it doesn't represent the whole picture. Your games are slowing down sometimes sure (and recognizing those patterns is smart), but they're always selling out. You put out products that sell, and they sell in the thousands while you hear shitty remarks from maybe a couple dozen. Remember that. You guys have passed a threshold of popularity where before you were surrounded by dedicated and loving fans, but over time you've gotten bigger and more noticed where that isn't gonna be the case anymore. You're well known now, so that means assholes are gonna start coming out of the woodwork. You don't need to tell those people to fuck off by voicing it either blatantly or subtly on boards or social media. No, you can tell them to fuck off in a louder and more resonating way by not giving them your time of day, and continuing to produce and distribute a successful run of products no matter how vile they get. (Of course, continue responding to upset fans who truly have a respectful reason to be upset) We love ya Doug/LRG!

I'm also speaking from the position of someone who released what a lot of people considered to be the worst Xbox One game of the year with the original GunWorld, and has more than experienced the difference between constructive criticism and vitriolic hate. Not all criticism LRG gets, even on this board, is constructive. Look back a few pages to the member who was banned (if his posts are still here) for reference. I even make a note in my post to say that they should continue responding to the criticism that comes from a reasonable place. So yeah, I am speaking from a different position than most of you, I'm speaking from a position of a person who's been in their shoes before both as a dev and elsewhere. But I'm also a long time customer of theirs as well, and responding to truly constructive criticism is where they should consider stopping. Responding to vile hate-spewing nonsense and giving it the time of day isn't good for LRG, and more importantly it isn't good for the emotional health of people like Doug who have to see and read that shit every day.

Sorry to hear about that! The game definitely has some rough edges I don't shy away from. I made it alone, and I was the only QA person ha. There's a lot of improvements that have gone into my next game based on what I learned making SGW2. Just insane improvements to responsiveness due to just better skills. I was actually analyzing movement and collisions in Mega Man on a frame by frame basis to improve the code for my next game lol. Gimme any feedback you have though, parts you liked, parts you didn't, and what things you think you wanted to enjoy but maybe fell short. It's vital for improving my future games! Thank you for playing it! Edit: I actually speedrun Super GunWorld 2 as well, so check me out on Twitch sometime if you wanna see more of it from another player/the devs perspective.

Thread: Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
So one interesting thing in there I want to comment on. Controls in SGW2 are "precise" to a fault. I struggled during development getting responsiveness to feel right, and something I learned while experimenting to improve it was that many of the best platformers (this is seen in classic Mario games, especially in Mega Man, etc) had this concept of breaking precision to make things "feel" more precise even if they're technically less precise. Like jumping at the edge of platforms like you mentioned. In SGW2 it always counts to the pixel to make sure a ledge is below you when you jump, but it doesn't factor in for things like reflexes or potential latency on a tv, so I and many others had to adjust their timing because it felt like we were jumping at the edge of a platform when we may have been a few pixels off. What a lot of classic games did was essentially create a buffer, like something that says "oh the player pushed jump, but they're not on the ground. Were they on the ground within the last few frames? Ok, let's jump anyway". This concept carries to other things like if you jump as you're just about to touch the ground, but you're technically a tiny bit early, the game will buffer those inputs and say "ok, as long as you touch the ground in the next 5 frames or w/e, we'll jump as if you were on the ground when you pushed jump". I avoided things like this in SGW2, but found when I studied Mega Man and Castlevania down to the frame, these were exactly the sort of deceptive tricks that made the games feel so damn responsive and precise. I implemented my own version of them in my next game and it's a night and day difference. I'm a massive Mega Man fan, and have recreated portions of Mega Man 2 in my new code base and it feels so close to spot on. I think it's gonna go over really well for people that found fault with SGW2.

I should state that's not *exactly* how that stuff works, but it's a good way to explain it. Yeah, as you dig and learn more you find there's lots of tricks you can pull off to make something feel satisfying. My mistake with SGW2 was being too fixated on "true" precision in terms of movement rules. Not only does the game have rough edges, it ended up hurting it in the end. Some people adjust, others simply don't like it.

It's not just ERA, it's almost unanimous. Critically and publicly DDIV has been kind of smashed all around. I'm a huge fan of retro games and still play them regularly (probably more than modern games) so DDIV wasn't as offensive to me as a lot of other people. But I did think it didn't even manage to be as good as the older games. DDIV feels like a retro throwback that misses the point sometimes, it allows the retro style to bring a wealth of disadvantages without feeling like it brings forward enough strengths of those games or takes advantage of modern design to improve on what worked. I guess it's too retro for it's own good, while at the same time kind of missing what was actually fun and stripping what wasn't. That said I'm still getting it, because I love Double Dragon and shit I have Bubsy 3D so I'm not opposed to owning games I don't think are great.

Super GunWorld 2 the patch. Vanilla GunWorld 2 had several updates between when it launched on Xbox One in May of 2016 and the release of Super GunWorld 2 on PlayStation 4 (all Xbox One and Steam versions of the game and their stores were replaced with Super and previous owners were given Super for free). There's a pretty dramatic difference between Vanilla GW2 and Super, and a lot of it comes down to art, difficulty rebalance, and additional polish. For best idea, I'd reference the Metacritic for GunWorld 2, and then look at the Metacritic for Super GunWorld 2 and compare scores. Actually, for anyone curious I personally think this is the best review of the game out there. It is honest, hits hard on some of the games flaws, but also highlights why it's worthwhile for the people it'll appeal to.

I will say as both a LRG fan and someone who (finally I'm able to say this) has worked with them as a dev, they seem very aware of communication issues and invested in addressing it. I think it's pretty safe to expect changes and consistent improvement from these guys as time goes on. They genuinely care about what they do and the fans they have.

I feel like responding to this one because I don't like the implication it gives off for both myself or Limited Run. I like Josh and Doug, the majority of my interaction has been with Doug and he's also the only one I met in person. The first time I met him in person was at E3 this year, nearly a year and a half after first speaking with Josh about doing this game and almost 6 months after the digital PS4 release. To imply I got any sort of special treatment regarding this release because anyone at LRG is friends with me is a bit disingenuous. That isn't to imply anything negative, it's just that our relationship thus far has been strictly as professionals/peers. Although Josh, Doug, I'd like to think that we be friends. I'll mail you a letter. Check yes or no. Outside of that, it really is a matter of the ESRB thing (which blindsided every dev that was currently signed but unreleased) and recent sales slowing down. The rest of the stuff is minor. I did put more effort into our manual than many LRG releases did, and them wanting to support small devs like me is less about personal friendships and more about what their mission statement as a company has been since the beginning. Mirroring the comment made by LRG here, ultimately I've been seeing a tremendous amount of excitement and positivity for this release. More so than I was anticipating considering how criminally (in my opinion) unknown Super GunWorld 2 is. I think there's going to be some disappointed people as-is with many LRG releases because this is a niche game, but anyone that's been looking for a solid old-school Mega Man style game is going to come away happy with something they might have never known existed otherwise. My game is so unknown, it never even got a final score on Metacritic (although the trend based on existing reviews and ones MC doesn't count is that it would have scored favorably....better than Mighty No 9 =P)

Thread: Limited Run Games |OT| Sweet XOXO for Digital to Physical Media
I mean this in the nicest, most reasonable way possible, but I promise you this is a case of you trying to see special treatment or something skeevy where there simply isn't. The reply from LRG here in this thread was exactly the reasons behind the print count, price, and what's in it. I'm not sure what you're implying by a "bunch" of bonuses. The game has some trading cards in it (that weren't a thing when they signed the game, that's entirely their decision) that they stated pretty openly were added in an attempt to add more value to the package. That's it. Not because they like me, but because of the exact reason they said. There's elements of the deal with LRG I can't discuss, NDA stuff, but if you're referring to the bigger/more detailed manual as a bonus that's not the case either. Every LRG dev partner has a choice about creating a manual, and how far they want to go with it. The manual isn't something I just get a bigger one of just because they feel charitable, that money put into printing those manuals gets taken out of what I will make. Some decisions changed and things happened (like the ESRB nonsense) that threw a wrench into a couple things with this release. I won't begin to act like I know all the details, but I know these guys are super open, very transparent and honest, and this is a case of there being nothing more than what they've told you.

I'm pretty sure the price jump is because of the recent ESRB nonsense. By the way all, I'm the Super GunWorld 2 dev. There was some concern on my end about even being $25 when the core game costs $8, but there's been some pretty low priced games released at $25 on Limited Run and that's the minimum price they're able to do for a release. You're more paying for the luxury of having the physical copy than anything else for games like mine. As far as that's concerned though, there's a fair amount of content in the game. It's not massive, but it's comparable to the vanilla Shovel Knight in terms of length. There's more to the game than most people realize within the first hour. I actually have long felt that the $8 price was underselling the game and it was worth more than that, but the original game had a poor reputation so I remember purposefully undercharging for the game (in terms of my perceived value) as a way of enticing people back in who hated the first. The Metacritic for Super is trending to be pretty darn good, but we never got a 4th review to give it an actual score lol.

At this point no. I'm concerned I wouldn't even recoup the costs of the devkit, let alone the actual time it would take to do the port. If I knew I could use the Vita as a viable platform for my next couple of games, then I'd do it just knowing that in the end it'd be worth it, but I won't be able to bring any future games to Vita either. It's a bummer, because I actually wanted to put it on Vita to begin with, it'd be a great fit.

I dunno, Anduin turning out to be evil would be lame. He's been portrayed as peace loving and not a warrior, uncomfortable with the role of battlefield commander. If anything, it would be better if his arc was that he's just not a great leader, and definitely not the battlefield commander his father was. Making him dark just because Garrosh was portrayed that way, and then Sylvanas got painted that way, is kind of a lame reason. Making him also dark in some way lacks nuance. Making him too idealistic for this terrible world, and a failure of a leader whose people lose faith in would be far more interesting. Maybe the Alliance story could evolve into players trying to keep the Alliance together as smaller splinter factions start to lose faith in Anduin's idealism and naivete. That way, it gives Anduin something he needs to prove both to himself and others, and we give him an opportunity to grow into the successor he's meant to be.

Finished the first season a couple nights ago. Absoilutely brilliant. I asked my dad how much of the book the first season covers. His answer was "About 20%. They could easily get 5 seasons out of this." I thought it was interesting that starting out, I cared more about the current day plot more than the flashbacks, but as the show continued, I ended up caring more about Gaitonde's story than the current day plot. As a man of Indian descent, the show really spoke to me in a number of ways. The hindu/muslim animosity is real. Great to see a kickass Indian show on Netflix. It's very atypical in the Indian drama space. For crying out loud, there are BOOBS in the show. People in India have burned down theaters over less.

I mean, it being misleading is...kind of the point? I was a little disappointed that they put the message in there saying there is more game to play, but if you want to sell a game to large audiences, you have to expect that they're going to take everything at face value, and put down the game at the credits.

That's what I love the most about playing multiplayer games. Playing and connecting with my friends.

This article is a bit confusing. It's reading to me that he started Feminist Apparel because he was once that person, and regrets the person he once was, and wants to help fix it. Or am I reading that incorrectly? His actions in this case are ridiculous, clearly. Lying about stepping down and then firing his staff shows he hasn't really changed. But, should he have stepped down if he was once that terrible person, and his company was an initiative to become part of the solution? (before he glassed the entire office, they didn't know he was still that person, presumably)

I'll probably be uploading a few of our best matches to Youtube later today. It's got an odd system, but it's actually not THAT complex.

We're always up to help. Btw, anyone using Guiding Star in PvP? I got it from Dead Orbit a couple nights ago, and it's damn good in Crucible. Moving Target, HC Rounds, 720 rpm and 52 round mags. It's fantastic.

Thread: Destiny 2 |OT| Guardians Make Their Own Fate
It's possible this is the case, because I like D2 a ton more than D1, outside of some glaring issues that are still fixable. I thought a lot of what D1 was trying pre-Taken King was just plain not good. After Taken King, I enjoyed the game a lot more, but still found the game to be a huge grind, but not in a good way. Destiny 2 over steered in certain aspects, and oversimplified certain things (some good, some not so good). I certainly like the base game a hell of a lot more than base Destiny 1. My issue is that Destiny 2 offered easier ways to get loot, which is great, but without a truly diverse or particularly large loot table. That's an issue, that rears its head in multiple ways (eg. lack of overall longevity, constant duplicates, no real reason to do certain pieces of content due to gear redundancy). I do think part of it has to do with balancing gear to meet balance in Crucible. I wouldve been happier had they kept the mad-cap perks for exotic gear and weapons, but made said perks only activate in Crucible, or only activate in PvE, depending on what said perk is. That way you get your crucible gear with its cool perks that work in crucible, and you get your PvE gear that has crazy perks that don't affect balance in Crucible. Then, even if you have your PvE gear that's largely the same power and stat between Nightfall, Raid, Vendors, etc., you can differentiate with niche perks that help especially in the path you received them from (eg. an exotic NF perk that rotates elements on your power weapon to meet Prism, or an exotic Raid perk that gives you the ability to do...something cool that's specific to the Raid). This is especially an issue for armor over weapons. While I think weapon perks right now are pretty boring, non-exotic armor just has no perks. Outside of cosmetics, there's no real reason to build an Iron Banner set, a Raid Set, and a Exploration set. (I do that anyway, because I love dressing up paper dolls) Add some cool little perks to gear, AND add the ability to make sets that I can switch to quickly with a click, and I'm a happy camper. Just my two cents. A lot of it can be added and changed with time, and they're clearly watching.

I'd be happy with that. I still think Dawnblade and Voidwalker need work. Makes no sense to increase level but not PL. That means you'll be getting new gear that's just the same as your current gear, but stuck behind a level barrier. Then when you put it on it's...no better than what you had. of course they'll raise PL, but it won't be much higher. The upper barrier implemented in the game right now is 350 (though nothing drops that high right now), and they probably want to slowly reach that barrier over multiple DLC packs. It's likely we'll either see 310 or 320 be the max for Osiris.

Warlock jump has become a joke amongst the people I play with. It's fucking awful. You get great control upon descent, but forget doing anything useful on the way up. I will say that that Rift is AMAZING, though. I just wish Dawnblade and VoidWalker affected Rift in any way. The only class that does is the bottom perk tree for Stormcaller. Arc Soul is so good that it's basically the de facto Warlock sub class for the Raid. I only play VoidWalker in PvP because Nova Bomb is way better than Storm Trance against other Guardians.

Depends. What PL are you? Past about 270, the best way to level is stick to Powerful Gear milestones. Everything else will continually drop gear that's useless to you (outside of weapons you might want to use in Crucible). Swords require power ammo. A team that commands power ammo is going to mash you, whether it's a sword or a rocket launcher. It would not be any different against a team where someone is constantly running around with Sins of the Past.

How the hell did those dungeons take you 6 hours? Also, the dungeons design is great, what are you TALKING about? Just because you don't like turn based, doesn't mean is an across the board negative. Plenty of people love that. If you want a REALLY bad dungeon, try the first dungeon in Phantasy Star 2. Or really, any dungeon with teleport pads. This is spot on. I play JRPGs for the combat system and dungeons, so this makes a lot of sense. Granted I played on DS, but I loved Crystal Tower and World of Darkness. I haven't felt so much tension in an RPG since. That said, I never died anywhere in the dungeon, but man oh man, was beating the game such an insane relief. I can see dying in there being soul crushing, but conquering it gives you an insane feeling of accomplishment.

Thread: Black Panther and the Importance of Inclusion
If I can tell a story of inclusion myself: I'm Indian, born in India, but I grew up in the West. Growing up, I watched all the big 80's cartoons religiously. The only cartoons I can think of that had Indian characters at all were Johnny Quest, and MASK. MASK had a character named Ali Bombay, and of course, because I'm Indian, I clung onto him. He was so cool! He had a green motorcycle that turned into a copter! But I also got into my head that I could never be the hero of my own story. I would always be someone else's sidekick. That, I found really sad. Everyone wants to be the hero of their own story. I grew out of that perception as I got older, naturally, but when I became an adult, that stuck with me. I don't want any kid growing up thinking they can't be the hero of their story. Imagine how much of a motivation killer that can be. "I can never be a leader. Only a follower". I find that reprehensible. THAT is why inclusion is so important. Just like I love to see black people in leading roles, I want to see more Indians in leading roles, being powerful, having agency, and not being just a sidekick.

I honestly think some people just don't know. During Tempered fights these days, even in rando matches, at least 2 flashes get shot the minute he does nova, because enough people know you can do it. I mean, at this point, he's the easiest for seasoned players to fight, given that his nova can be flashed, his escape can be flashed, etc. We keep locking him down and beating the crap out of him.

I'm surprised you didn't hit 49 after finishing the story. Did you skip doing all the optionals? When I finished the story and finished the two post story assignments, I shot up to 52. You augment at the smithy. Once it's unlocked, you can either augment weaponry or armor. Augmenting armor removes its previous upgrade cap, allowing you to upgrade its DEF further. Augmenting weaponry, however, adds one of five augmentations to the weapon permanently: Attack up, DEF up, Health regen, Additional Jewel Slot, Affinity up.

We've only fought it once, so I'm sure one our second or third run in with Kushala my opinion will change. Vaal is just not an issue anymore. We straight up farm it now.

Thread: Ori & the Will of the Wisps: Moon Studios aims to 'perfect Metroidvania genre' - Preview & Interview
This is so silly, I never actually said that. I popped into the Hollow Knight OT when it first launched and gave my early opinion after playing it a few hours and felt like the pacing was wacky - It takes a long time to get started and on your first playthrough through Hollow Knight, you're doing a lot of backtracking without having learned anything new or gotten a new item or anything. I felt like the whole 'You can't see yourself on the map at first' thing felt like needless padding. And I think many people agreed with me on those points. But again, that was MY experience and overall I still liked the game. Then I kept playing, got more stuff and eventually thought it's a great game. I think some people thought it was outrageous that one dev would pop into a thread and give his opinion and hey, maybe it is? I dunno, I'm just a gamer like other folks here and don't see why I can't give my 2 cents. I'm always interested in knowing what other devs think about the games we're making and having a little more discourse in that regard isn't a bad thing. But when it comes to comparing the two, I don't think it makes a ton of sense. Ori is heavily platforming and level design focused, whereas HK kept things much closer to the Igavanias with a lesser focus on actual level design, but a stronger focus on enemy behaviors, combat and it had some Dark Souls influences like losing 'Souls' when you're dying, having obscure little NPCs in the world, lots of bosses, etc. sprinkled in. I think people just like these little wars (Amiga VS ST, NES vs. MS, etc.), but I don't think we should take a part in that. I just think it's cool that there's more going on with Metroidvanias now than there has been for the last decade or so, since a lot of people were starved for this kinda genre and it's cool to see actual 'competition' happening again where the developers of various games can inspire each other to take things further. And that's our goal for WotW - we listened to you folks and try to take things a lot further than we could've before. So chill out, let us do our thing and hopefully that'll result in us shipping a great game that you folks will love :)

Thread: Ori & the Will of the Wisps: Moon Studios aims to 'perfect Metroidvania genre' - Preview & Interview
Btw, since I saw some people talking about Backtracking and the question came up how we’re approaching that, here’s my thoughts on it: I think there’s good and there’s bad backtracking. I always kinda have a bit of the feeling that some developers design their games with backtracking in mind not necessarily because they truly get what makes backtracking fun, but simply to follow ‘the formula’. The way we design with backtracking in mind is that we actually design levels that the player will backtrack through numerous times, meaning, for example, we might first design a level with the idea in mind that the player will have to traverse the level from left to right with a certain set of abilities. We try to make that fun and challenging. Then we know the player will probably come back to that area at some point, but now he’ll probably have learned that other ability. So the way the platforms are laid out and the structure of the level has to also has to be designed to take that into account - So that traversing from left to right and from right to left will feel like playing 2 different levels, even though it’s the same area you’ve passed through before. And then you also think about secret areas and making sure you have a good chunk of challenges in earlier parts of the game that you can only come back to with late stage abilities, etc. In terms of level design, we’re spending a crazy amount of time on every single level to always account for these kinda things, to keep an area fun, even if you’ve already run through it before. You should always have new ways of interacting with the world, so that even areas you’ve already been to still feel fresh when you re-visit them. And yeah, we also feature quite a bit of hidden stuff in WotW that players won’t find on their first run-through :) I do see a lot of designers designing levels by just placing platforms with some obstacles or some enemies on them and calling it a day - It can be a bit frustrating if players then think that design-wise, it amounts to the same thing. It really doesn’t though. A lot of our design-language is very Nintendo-inspired and I think in the end we’re making the right moves. Again, I hope people don’t see this as ‘Thomas Mahler is shitting on other games’, it’s just that level design is insanely important to me and it’s its own art to design good levels. There’s a certain way we design at Moon that I’m super proud of and I hope people see that once they get to play WotW :)

Just because we decided to drastically improve the combat system doesn’t mean we didn’t have a go at further improving the platforming aspects :) Ori and the Blind Forest had an extremely strong focus on Platforming and that’s still true for Will of the Wisps since the way you traverse levels will again be very ‘Ori’ - Only now the way you deal with enemies and the likes will be much more varied than before. Design-wise, our goal is for all the stuff you can do to really work together, so that you can also use combat moves for platforming and use platforming within the combat, like in the way you dash away from enemies right when they show their tell or dash into the enemies and then immediately queue into an attack, etc. I don’t think we’re taking anything away that Blind Forest had, so no worries.

It’d be a Metroidvania. Waluigi would gain more and more abilities over the course of his journey and then take down Mario and his whole gang. It’d be beautiful.

Thread: Ori & the Will of the Wisps: Moon Studios aims to 'perfect Metroidvania genre' - Preview & Interview
It’ll be very interesting to me to see how people will react to the story this time. We definitely did try to make the world whole and to elevate what we started with Blind Forest to a whole new level. We actually hired Alexander O. Smith (if you don’t know who he is, he has his own Wikipedia page ;)) a while ago to help us with the writing process, he’s working on Ori and our yet-to-be-announced project. We finished writing the overall storyline last year and at our Team Retreat there’s already been lots of tears. We never consciously try to tell sad stories, but since Ori is all about telling these allegorical tales, I think it’s easy for people to identify with our characters. And don’t worry about us copying others too much - we always look at what happens outside our team, but I don’t think people will make many connections to Hollow Knight and the likes. I was already surprised that some people thought we copied HK simply cause we now have more NPCs in the world that Ori can interact with - HK wasn’t really our reference at all when it came to that. I wanted more NPCs even in Blind Forest (mostly cause I loved what ALTTP did with simple characters that gave you some clues and so on), but doing that the Moon Studios way with all the required animations was just way too expensive. But this time we were able to do it and do it in the way we wanted :) Our combat system for example is much deeper and much more intricate than what any other Metroidvania has done so far and I think people will objectively be able to agree with that. Every single one of our weapons has their own animation set, it’s an animation-commit combat system where we control timing based on the actual animation frames. I don’t think it’s even fair at all to compare what 2d games before WotW did with WotW in that regard since we’re obviously using super advanced tools and built everything upon a super strong foundation. Most Metroidvanias including HK trigger a simple animation and spawn a little effect when you press the attack button - we obviously went way further than that. I don’t feel super comfortable talking about this stuff since I’m one of the developers and it could quickly sound like I’m downplaying other games that came before, but this is just how art develops: Someone does something and then the next person pushes that even further and further - I still think in terms of platforming Ori is one of the best games out there in the genre and this time the goal was to do the same for combat... and everything else :D

I thought Metal Gear Solid (PS1) was hugely influential. I never thought much about the sequels. Was hugely hyped for MGS2, but everything after MGS had this insane Kojima weirdness that I’m not a fan of. MGS4 and 5 were mediocre games in my opinion. Kinda feel like Kojima is another one of those designers that peaked in the 90s, much like Cliffy and Jaffe.

Yeah, you’d think that Technology should’ve made it much easier nowadays to make a game like that, but that’s only true for things like actually getting things rendered on screen, etc. - Design-wise, you’re still on your own. It’s probably similar to film or other arts: You rarely see films that get made that are as good as The Godfather, even though cameras are much better and easier to handle today than they used to be. Technology didn’t make it any easier to write a great novel, etc. (maybe a little more convenient, but the words still have to come solely from you).

Thread: Why are there no famous indies similar to Mario 2D?
Also, if you play with numbers, it actually becomes even more clear that for an indie developer, copying something like Mario can be really goddamn difficult to achieve. For example, a ‘room’ for Ori usually takes our designers between 1-3 days to bring to final - And I’d like to think that we’ve gotten pretty damn good at it. A room in Ori is probably only half or a quarter of the size of a level in Mario Bros. 3 in terms of scale. And this estimate is just for the design blockout, we’re not even talking about art yet. That’s usually another 3-5 days to set dress and that’s if you already have the art tiles painted. Since Mario usually has more simplistic art, let’s be very optimistic and say you can finalize an entire level in a week - that’s for design AND art. That’s probably an extremely optimistic estimate since really getting something to final can be super hard and you’ll re-work things very often in the process of making a game. So the actual number would probalby be more like 2 weeks, but let’s be very optimistic just for the sake of it. A world in Mario usually consists of around 10 levels. Let’s say there’s 8 worlds - We’re now at 80 levels. So just to put the levels together, you’re looking at 80 weeks of work, 1.5 years of work if you work every single day in a year without taking any vacations. That’s 1.5 years of work just for levels and we’re at an extremely optimistic estimate. If you now factor in that you also have to design and program all the mechanics, enemies, bonus stages, bosses, powerups and so on, I think it quickly becomes apparent that a small indie dev that only has 1-2 designers would have a massive task ahead of them.

Thread: Why are there no famous indies similar to Mario 2D?
Because you assume that it's easy enough for an indie developer to just make a 'Mario-like' game that could rival the stuff Nintendo did - even the stuff from 30 years ago - and I can tell you it's just not. Mario is all about good level design and level design is an artform that most designers out there just haven't mastered at all. We've had designers with tons of experience go through our tests (everyone who wants to work at Moon Studios has to do a quick test so we can check their skills) and a lot of them just aren't that great at designing spaces in the way Nintendo can. It's actually an incredibly rare talent. There's tons of designers out there who THINK they can do it, cause it looks oh so simple, but once they actually have to sit their butts down and design in that way, a lot of them suffer and stumble their way through it and the result more often than not leaves a lot to be desired. I would bet that there's way less than 100 people in the entire western gaming industry that understand design in that way. Compare the indie output in terms of platformers from the last 10 years to games like Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World - if you understand a thing or two about design, you'll probably notice that there's a huge gap in quality between them. This is really a field where technology doesn't help you at all: Just cause we got better computers doesn't mean that anybody will do the design work for you and even though you'd think people have studied Nintendo's output and the way they do things over the years, most of them can't deliver on anywhere even near that level of quality. If you look at the current AAA industry, I think you'll see what I mean: None of the big AAA games truly bank on good level design because (and this is me saying something controversial that really shouldn't be) most of these studios don't really have designers that are all that great and that could make successful games that are reliant upon good level design. The way most studios handle level design is more about spectacle, working a lot with environment artists to create 'interest', using open world terrain tools so that they don't have to labor over every inch, etc. - All the successful western AAA studios make games that work despite, not because of their level design. This is also why most western devs out there still love Nintendo's output, cause they're clearly better in many regards than they themselves are and there's still a lot to learn from them. Here's my super controversial bet: Even if you'd take the absolute best designers from places like, say, Naughty Dog and task them to create a game as good as Super Mario Bros. 3, I'd bet that they couldn't do it. You need a certain breed of designers that understand design on the level those Nintendo folks did and that kinda talent mostly doesn't exist in the current industry.

Thread: Why are there no famous indies similar to Mario 2D?
Yeah. Way back in the day at Disney, from the time you were hired as an animator, they understood that it'd take you about 5 years to create your first good animation that'd be usable in their films. That was just the time it took to learn the craft. I'd bet that even a good designer who worked a couple of years in the industry would need a good 3 or so years before they'd be able to create a level that'd actually fit into a Nintendo game. There's an art to designing interactive spaces that most western AAA Studios just don't seem to be interested in learning, so they make games that work even if they don't feature great level design. In the indie space, it's very obvious which designers actually understand what they're doing when it comes to level design, simply cause they've been doing it (and failing at it and learning from it) for years and years and now they understand the craft. You got folks like Matt Thorson who can sit his ass down and create a platformer that immediately becomes a critical hit simply cause the guy spent so much time honing his skills in that space, making games that are completely reliant on good level design. I'd say the same thing about Edmund McMillen: He went through a period of making shit games until he finally learned how to do it right and showed that to the world by making Super Meat Boy. Whoever Yacht Club has on designing levels for Shovel Knight is a damn good designer in my book. I'd humbly suggest that we know what we're doing at Moon in regards to level design, also just cause we've decided to make games that rely on good level design and we've been learning and trying to master that craft ever since. It's really tough finding designers that can deliver on the level of quality we need simply cause you don't acquire the right skills by working on modern western AAA games.

I would. I never had that much fun with the PS2, to be honest. And that was after the sensational PS1 that had tons of games I loved dearly. I’d honestly guess the PS2 love is a lot of nostalgia and that the folks who love their PS2s are just the ones who were like 6-12 when the PS2 was in their prime - so they automatically have some crazy love for it, is that possible? I remember that for years the console didnt have any good RPGs and it’s the console where Square’s output went to shit. The PS2 took a long time to really get going (at the start the Dreamcast still had easily the better software library and since the PS2 was awkward to code for you saw ports that lagged behind the Dreamcast visually and perf wise) and looking back, there’s maybe a handful of titles or so that I’d really wanna get back to. NES, SNES and PS1 had way more timeless classics in my opinion.

On the latter, I’d assume they have to charge up-front simply to be able to actually afford putting the amount of machines they’re making into production. Analogue is probably still a tiny company and doing what they’re doing isn’t a cheap endeavor.

Thread: Ori and the Will of the Wisps - E3 2018 Trailer
Hard to answer at this point, but remember that we still have to have the game running at 60fps on the Xbox One S, so while we are adding a lot more bells and whistles to the visuals, we’re balancing that out by just optimizing the hell out of the game. We had Unity Source Code access for a while now and use the scripted render pipeline to our advantage - goal is to run all the scenes at 80-90fps with a locked 60fps on console, so that there’ll never be a perceivable drop in framerate. Yup, that’s the goal. We’re never gonna ship a game that only runs at 30fps, mostly cause we ourselves don’t enjoy what that sacrifice does to gameplay. We’re generally in a pretty good spot perf-wise already, but there’s still some nice optimizations left to do :) I dont get where all these faux facts are coming from. We haven’t announced support for platforms other than Xbox One and Win10 yet (which are obvious ;)), but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Truth is, we’re still trying to figure all of that out ourselves! Hm, maybe you read my comments as way more inflammatory than they actually were meant to be. I shared my initial opinion on Hollow Knight back then after playing it for 5-6 hours and thought the pacing was all over the place, which I still think is the case. Pacing-wise, I don’t think Hollow Knight works as nicely as Nintendo games have in the past and I also thought we did a better job on that in Blind Forest than HK did, but hey, that’s just my personal opinion :) And hey, I did post again after I had completed Hollow Knight and thought it was a great game overall. Was it perfect? Nope, far from it, but it’s definitely a nicely put together title and I’m eager to re-play it on Switch now again. To me, Hollow Knight and Blind Forest aren’t all that comparable - Ori’s platforming was way more elaborate, whereas HK focused more on combat and bosses. Truth to be told, we didn’t really consciously copy anything from Hollow Knight. The Spirit Shard system we have in Will of the Wisps is just a natural evolution of the Ability Tree we had in Ori and the Blind Forest: Since the game is quite a bit more open now, we wanted to tie getting abilities to the exploration aspects more, so we got rid of the ‘In order to get this ability, you have to have these other abilities already!’ Thing. Also, the Spirit Shard System allowed us to introduce upgrades, which turned out to be super cool, since it gives the players even more ways of really honing in on whatever they deem fun. For example, one thing we showed in the demo was the ‘Splinter’ shard, a super useful shard for players who use projectile weapons and spells, since it enhances how many projectiles get fired per shot. If players invest more and more into that shard, the results can become quite crazy, so while you only shoot a single projectile with the Spirit Arc at first, with a fully upgrades Splinter Shard, you actually shoot 5 arrows at once. There are tons and tons of these shards in the game, so I’m hoping that players will come up with super crazy ways to play through the game again and again and watching people play the game on streams should be more enjoyable since every player will now be able to pick their own very custom way of playing it :) On the combat side, we had tests of Ori using ‘weapons’ as far back as 2012 - James did a bunch of animation tests back then, but we decided in the end to really focus on the platforming for Blind Forest and came up with platforming abilities that’d be used for combat as well, which is how Bash became a thing, etc. The same is true for the NPCs and the Quests: Those things were already discussed during Blind Forest, but were cut cause it was super expensive to add those things in a way that’d hit our ‘Moon Studios Quality bar’ - So since we’re doing a sequel and the budget is a lot higher than Blind Forest’s budget, adding NPCs and meaningful Sidequests was super high on the list of things we wanted to focus on this time around :)

Let's get to it! Yeah, of course :) Quite a lot :D So here's the thing: We all liked the Soul Link System we had in Blind Forest, apart from one thing: When players forgot to create a save, sometimes they had to re-play 10-15 minutes of stuff they already did... So we're still kinda looking into that one. Another thing that makes the return of Soul Link a bit more difficult is that this time we're allowing you to customize your buttons and it's tough to give up a button for this system... There's things that are similar to that, but Sein is with the Spirit Tree. Not sure if I can say at this point - We love for people to have physical versions of Ori, so we'll see :) Nothing's set in stone yet - We honestly don't really know at this point since we're just heads-down on making something great, but we'll do our best to make all the communities happy. We just (finally) released the Naru and Ori plushies a couple of months ago - I'd LOVE for more plushies and action figures and so on to happen, highly depends on Microsoft, but they also love the Ori IP, so I'll definitely try to see what we can do :) Well, like with everything we had in Blind Forest, we're trying to up the ante even more - Wait and see what we have in store this time :D So far so good! It was helpful that we started developing WotW with a good, strong base and we have some crazy talent in the team now - We've got Chris, who worked on Rayman, we've got Milton who single-handedly made AM2R, we hired animators from Pixar, Blue Sky Studios, Riot, etc. - It's pretty crazy to see where we are now compared to when we shipped Blind Forest. Haha, no worries, I'm happy to answer whatever questions might come up here :) And thanks for being an Ori fan, we're really trying to create something special, something that'll stand the test of time. I'm also super interested in hearing feedback on what we've shown this E3! Yes! We have more characters in the game, so there'll be more themes and Gareth is hard at work, but I figure he should just answer this question.

Thread: VR has completely lost it's appeal to me, anyone else with same experience?
Chicken and egg problem. It’s an extremely small market at the moment, which means most developers can’t afford putting proper dev resources behind a title. Right now you have to assume that even a Smash Hit VR title would maybe sell 100k units and it’s hard to make the business make sense at that point. We have a VR concept that I think would be amazing and could be super addicting, but there’s no way we can put an entire team behind it simply cause unless we’d get extremely lucky, we’d probably never make our money back. I haven’t seen any VR games yet that’d make me really want to buy a VR headset just for this or that game - that’s probably why you lost interest.

Thread: Indie Game Development |OT 2018| Come, help, learn, show and tell!
I sometimes get a little free time to work on personal projects. Ported this older project of mine to Switch a while ago and yesterday night kept going on it a little, mostly optimizing the code and getting it to run at 60fps on Switch: Would be fun to actually keep going on this at some point. I always wanted to see another Kart Racer that mimics things like Diddy Kong Racing again :)

Thread: Indie Game Development |OT 2018| Come, help, learn, show and tell!
I almost never get to post into indie threads anymore since most of the stuff I'm doing nowadays is secret. But I thought this would be cool to share: Nintendo sent us some Switch Devkits a few weeks back and to learn how to use em, I spent an evening porting my old 'Super Turbo Drifters' project to it. Was super fun, my hats off to Nintendo, the dev environment for the Switch is pretty damn simple to maneuver! Regarding the video: This shows one of the ripped tracks from Mario Kart 8 (wanted to test how my driving controller works in a 'real-world example'. This is completely unoptimized with lots of inefficient code running in the background without me adjusting anything for Switch and still it runs at around 30fps, which is neat :)

"There’s been a lot of confusion over whether Octopath Traveler’s eight stories overlap or lead to some sort of epilogue. After finishing all eight, we’ve seen nothing like that. It’s not clear whether the game contains any sort of bonus endgame content—Nintendo says that it does, but the publisher could not tell us before publication what that content is or how to access it, only saying that it was “a matter of completing the storylines and some side quests.” - This is from the Kotaku review.

Well, for starters, the 50% both, 30% portable-only, 20% docked-only information was from an official financial report so you can question the accuracy of their data, but if they're outright lying that's illegal. There's also the evidence available to all to see that the Switch is selling incredibly fast and that even late ports are selling better than on other platforms which certainly suggests that people are using the major unique feature of the system.

Actually, you got that reversed. According to a study Nintendo did on the Switch's demographics, about 20% never take it out of the dock, 30% only use it in portable mode, and 50% use it in both modes. So for 80% of Switch users, the portability is a feature that is used.

Thread: Nintendo eShop - July 2018
Cosmic Star Heroine is currently at a 90% user score on Steam which admittedly isn't as good as Shovel Knight (96%) or Hollow Knight (94%) but is at least in the same general ballpark. Hardly any Metacritic sites reviewed the game at launch (due to me getting codes out to reviewers late plus the close proximity to Persona 5's release date) & the game was very buggy at launch (which has since been fixed). I expect the Switch Metacritic score for the game will be drastically better since the game is built for portability, it has all the fixes & improvements we've put into the game since the initial launch, and it's a fantastic port.

That's always the risk at going all-out with nostalgia. Like with our own game, the immediate connection most people make is Chrono Trigger, but it actually draws from a lot of different classic games (plus our own ideas) so if someone's expecting an exact CT clone, they could be disappointed. With Octopath, you're right in that FF6 is the most obvious connection (they've specifically mentioned FF6, plus the sprites are very similar in style to FF6) so someone expecting a FF6-2 could end up very disappointed, while somebody just in the mood for a good RPG might really enjoy it.

If I've had a bad day or have a history of receiving similar tweets, annoyed could easily turn to angry. For me personally, it would have been less annoying if it had just been one tweet along the lines of "I disagree and prefer branching dialogue trees."

Thread: Which genres have stagnated the most?
I actually find it hard to go back to a lot of SNES RPGs because I feel like the genre has improved a lot since then. The combat in games like the Etrian Odyssey series, Persona 3+, and Octopath Traveler (judging from the demo) is exponentially deeper & more strategic than the bare-bones, slow-paced systems used in games like FF6 & Chrono Trigger. There's generally a lot more to do outside of combat as well from the sim elements of the Persona series to the alchemy in the Atelier series to using path actions to uncover & solve sidequests in Octopath Traveler. Also, the writing in your average RPG these days is so much better than the average game of the 16-bit era (most games didn't even try to have good writing & many of them were rendered practically unintelligible thanks to poor localizations).

Thread: Reggie: Hollow Knight on Switch is selling "exceptionally well"
Due to its size, I view it more as a better Wii U (able to play anywhere in the house without worrying about losing the signal) than a better Vita/3DS (kind of clunky to take it with me on errands), however I did just travel to Korea last week and it was super nice to be able to take it with me (I used it to play the Octopath Traveler demo some more; would have played other games too but I'm participating in the Grandia RPG Club). Love how nice games look in portable mode. The lack of a proper D-Pad is a weakness, but livable. The kids really like Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Labo. My main problem with the system is I wish I had more of a reason to use it. I did not like Zelda much at all (dislike the combat, dislike how it feels like it takes forever to go anywhere or do anything, my favorite part of Zelda has always been the dungeons, and well, I think I just don't think I like open-world games unless they have cool superhero-style movement like Gravity Rush or infamous) & Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was a big disappointment (I hear it gets better later, so I'll give it another shot sometime). My favorite Switch game for the longest time was Has-Been Heroes (really cool lane-based roguelike) & I've enjoyed some other indie games on the system like N++, "Totally not Castlevania 3," and VOEZ. I enjoyed Mario Odyssey for a couple weeks & Splatoon 2 is a fun game to play periodically when I'm in the mood, but mostly I've been neglecting the system in favor of other systems. This looks like it'll change soon though - I loved the Octopath Traveler demo & there's Hollow Knight and other indie games I'm excited to play on Switch. After Octopath Traveler, there's not much of anything big I'm looking forward to for the rest of the year (already imported DQ11) so I plan to use the downtime to catch up on a bunch of indie games I missed ideally on the Switch.

Mario Odyssey was also a hit (there's an easy mode which buffs your life total & has various other modifications to make it less frustrating).

Most every preview is saying that the individual character stories are all separate with some optional Tales-style skits you can watch where different characters interact with each other. There is a rumor that if you complete everyone's story that you unlock a finale that connects everyone together, but there's been no confirmation that this is not someone just making things up.

Thread: What would a game need to be a worthy FF6 successor?
One of the quotes from an Octopath Traveler developer was that the game was designed as a FF6 spiritual successor and although it looks like it'll be a fantastic game, one that I'm personally excited to play more of (enjoyed the 3-hour demo so much that I probably spent a good 7-8 hours on it), I don't think it'll quite scratch that FF6 itch. It did get me thinking about what a game would need to be considered a worthy FF6 successor and this is what I came up with. 1 - The presentation needs to be top-notch. At the time, FF6 had some of the best graphics & music for an JRPG around and so ideally, its successor should follow suit. But if the developer wanted to try to ape FF6 visuals style to really hit home the homage, well, that's another option. 2 - A large cast of playable characters with no definite lead. Although there were characters more important to the plot than others (Locke, Edgar, and Terra are way more critical than Gau, Umaro, and Mog), there's no real main character. This is emphasized a few times - early on when the game split into 3 scenarios when your party splits up and later on when you lose everyone and start over with just Celes. 3 - Characters play very differently. From Edgar's item-based abilities to Sabin's moves that require fighting game-style inputs to Relm/Strago/Gau's movesets which all are monster-based in different ways, the developers didn't skimp in programming unique ways to fight with and power-up your characters. 4 - Character backstories. Yeah, there's a few throwaway characters, but most characters have a reason for teaming up with your party & you get to explore their motivations, both through the main story, and through sidequests that focus on them. 5 - A villain you love to hate. Before Sephiroth, there was Kefka. Interestingly enough, Kefka is actually the in the game, with more dialogue than even Terra! The game gives the player plenty of opportunities to interact with & see Kefka's villainy so that it's all the more rewarding to finally take him out at the end of the game. 6 - Structure. FF6 uses a very common structure in JRPGs - it starts out linear and becomes more non-linear (more sidequests) as the game progresses. However, it takes this one step further and features a major fake-out ending partway through the game that results in major changes after (revamped world map). A worthy FF6 would most likely need to do something similar to really match the feeling. 7 - Memorable setpieces. At a time when most JRPGs were fine with the "Town, Dungeon, repeat" structure, FF6 was more ambitious. From the river raft to the opera house to Locke's escape from South Figaro to the Ghost Train, the game is jam-packed with memorable scenarios. For that matter, the game starts off with the player piloting mechs - something that would have been a major selling point in most games (see Xenogears) but is just a random gimmick FF6 throws out a handful of times. 8 - Drama. Things get dark. Major characters can and will die. Though there are lighter moments and you can avoid some bad stuff based on your actions (like Celes' attempted suicide doesn't have to happen), it's not all fun and games. 9 - Secrets. From little ones like hidden items scattered various places (clocks!) to big ones like entire dungeons that are easy to miss, FF6 doesn't skip on the hidden content. Some of it is even story-focused like Shadow's dreams. 10 - Fun transportation. Chocobos. Airships. Ghost Trains. A castle that can submerge itself underground. The Serpent Trench. In FF6, you're going to be travelling all around the world & you're going to be doing it in style. So there you have my list. What do you think a FF6 successor would need to have? Are there any games that have come close in your opinion?

Thread: What would a game need to be a worthy FF6 successor?
The entire premise of this thread is that I design RPGs & hearing FF6 brought up in regards to Octopath got me thinking about what it would require to make a game now that was lauded for similar things as FF6. It's clear from playing the Octopath Traveler demo that they're not trying to copy FF6, but that they're doing their own thing that takes some inspiration from various classic games, including FF6. When we were designing Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 4, FF6 was brought up a lot. Looking back, we really missed the mark there, although I think we made a decent game anyway (just far from what made FF6 great).

Thread: I miss Mistwalker
Yeah, there are 9 jobs (shadows) - 1 job for each spell type (Sword, Black, White, Support, Barrier), a tank job (Guardian), 2 warrior jobs (Monk, Assassin), and the Generalist job which increases how many skill slots & accessories you can equip. When you get your shadow power (very early in the game, you must have stopped right before it), you start of with access to the Sword, White, and Black shadows. At set LVs, you get to unlock an additional shadow job until everyone eventually has access to every job (unlocks are specific to different characters so you can customize each character to your liking). Equipped jobs gain XP which leads to LVs and at set LVs, they gain new skills which can be equipped (you start out with 3 skill slots and gain more via the Generalist job). Skills can be a new active ability (like being able to cast black magic) or passive boosts. All in all, it's a fun system and on the harder difficulties, things are challenging enough to make it worthwhile to dig into it.

Thread: How do you people manage a large backlog?
I have a spreadsheet with 4 categories that I update every once in a while: 1 - Games I'm actively playing or want to play in the near future, along with an approximate completion % & listed in order of priority. Currently: Octopath Traveler (Finished Demo), Grandia (60%), Tokyo Mirage Sessions (60%), Dragon Quest XI - Mandarin edition (10%), Pillars of Eternity (0% - got gifted it by a friend recently) 2 - Series I would like to complete. Currently: Trails (SC - 80%), Ace Attorney (Justice for All - 75%). 3 - Chill games - these are games I like to play where completion is of minimal importance or irrelevant. Currently: Path of Exile, Splatoon 2, N++, VOEZ 4 - To-buy list. Exclude games in the series category. Also, excludes games that get instantly purchased the moment that they're out 'cause I'm super-excited about them (which is rare these days - maybe 1-3 a year). Currently: Hollow Knight, Into the Breach, Gravity Rush 2, Mario + Rabbids, Puyo Puyo Tetris, Bravely Second Note, this list doesn't remotely include every game that I own and haven't played since that way lies madness (and many of the games I own, I have no desire to play since I got them in a bundle with something else). I've found this system works well for me - I have a tendency to jump around from game to game and not finish anything so keeping track of my progress helps me to focus better there. And having a list of games I want to buy is eye-opening since I frequently find that for a lot of games, after the newness has worn out, I decide I don't actually want to buy the game in the end.

It had a solid selection of Action/Adventure/RPGs like Legend of Oasis & Dark Savior. And it had numerous games in genres that Sega platforms had traditional excelled at like arcade ports, sports games, and fighters.

In replaying what are in my mind, the best 2D Mario games - Yoshi's Island & NSMBU - I noticed that there's just a boatload of content in there. Practically every level has a major gimmick to it that isn't seen elsewhere. So you've got a large content creation burden along with a large design burden and it's easy to see why indies gravitate towards smaller self-contained challenge room platformers like Super Meat Boy and N++. I'm guessing they were referring to the modern Giana Sister game rather than the old one that was a blatant Mario copy-cat.

Also, I gotta say as a creator of RPGs, good dungeon design is tough. It's really difficult to make something that isn't just a main path with occasional side paths for treasures. Puzzles are tough to do well since you want them to be interesting, but if you make them too hard, then people get stuck and people don't like getting stuck on non-combat stuff in RPGs (admittedly, they don't like getting stuck there either, but at least there, you can grind your way out).

Thread: Any JRPGs with truly great dungeon design?
Replaying Grandia recently, I was surprised at how good some of the dungeon design is. There's a good bit of variety from the ghost ship to the End of the World (which is a giant wall so the entire dungeon is mostly vertical) to various ancient ruins. Good number of basic puzzles and secrets, along with the occasional enemy ambush. Some difficult mazes as well. I think the reason why it's rarely held up as a sign of great dungeon design is because the camera isn't very good which makes things more confusing than they should be and there's a fair number of filler dungeons as well. I haven't replayed it recently, but I remember at the time thinking that Paladin's Quest (SNES RPG, known as Lennus in Japan) had good dungeon design. There are a few reasons why it isn't mentioned as much as other great SNES RPGs. One, it came out about the same time as Chrono Trigger and so as the prequel to a fairly average game by a smaller company, it got overshadowed. Two, unlike other popular SNES RPGs, it hasn't been rereleased digitally - you can easily play Chrono Trigger, FF4, FF6, Earthbound, SMRPG, and others these days, but to play the original Lufia 2, you either need a SNES or you need to emulate it.

The demand is that it's a classic game with high replay value that still doesn't have a good portable version. And given that it originally came out on the Gamecube and it has since been ported to a gazillion different platforms, it can't be THAT hard to port it to the Switch as well. The difference is that Capcom has already ported other games to the Switch including 2 games in the Resident Evil series (3 if you count the RE7 streaming edition) but hasn't ported the no-brainer choice.

I haven't played Persona 5 yet (a 100-hour JRPG that's not appropriate for kids just isn't getting played in my house these days unless it's portable), but on the hardest difficulty levels of P4G, the combat has both flash & depth, especially when you're trying to maximize your shuffle time chances. Especially the bosses - most of them have more advanced attack patterns than you find in the vast majority of turn-based JRPGs. There's a lot more to the combat than just hit the weaknesses and win. Honestly, I think combat & gameplay in general took a dive after Persona 1. They dropped the melee/gun weapon aspect in Persona 1, along with the positioning, and there's an over-emphasis on combo magic in Persona 2 making the whole thing feel even more unbalanced. I also remember the menus being particularly clunky. Like combat in Persona 1 isn't exactly great, but somehow they made it even worse in the Persona 2 games. It's a shame because the story & characters are generally better in Persona 2. The Persona 2 games are desperately in need of a real remake (not the minor upgrades that the PSP version brought) or a non-interactive version (like an anime TV series).

The gameplay in Blue Dragon is fantastic as long as you bump the difficulty up (which requires a free DLC). The job system, the combat itself, the encounter design, all excellent.

Thread: I miss Mistwalker
Although surprisingly enough, a lot of the JRPGs that the Switch is getting aren't really 3DS/Vita style. Xenoblade 2 is a sequel to Nintendo's premier home console RPG series. Mario + Rabbids is a SRPG collaboration between Nintendo & Ubisoft. Octopath Traveler is a throwback JRPG collaboration between Nintendo & Square-Enix. Lots of indie JRPGs (Cosmic Star Heroine, Battle Chasers, Earthlock) that primarily target PC & home consoles. It is getting some of the old portable JRPG stuff too (home/portable cross-platform stuff like Disgaea, Atelier, Ys, and The Lost Child) but it already seems clear that the Switch is getting much better JRPG support than Nintendo's systems have in the past.

Thread: What are the top 10 best Gameboy games of all time?
Here's my top 9. Couldn't decide what to put in the 10th slot, but if GBC games that still work on regular GB count, I'd stick a Dragon Quest Monsters title there. In no particular order: Final Fantasy Adventure - I actually like this one better than it's more popular sequel (Secret of Mana). Great chiptunes, good visuals for the system, and simple but fun Action/RPG gameplay. And oh how melodramatic the story is. Final Fantasy Legend 2 - Climb the tower! Final Fantasy Legend 3 - It's a Saga game with a time travelling space ship! What's not to like? Zelda: Link's Awakening - One of the very best 2D Zeldas. Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 - Wario's first starring game is still a good one. Kirby's Dream Land 2 - Way better than the 1st game Tetris - It's Tetris. Game Boy Donkey Kong - A Donkey Kong puzzler with a lot of levels Pokemon Red/Blue - It's Pokémon.

Might I suggest the Siren series as well? It was created by the creator of Silent Hill & is the best of the old-school survival-horror series around IMO. It's a little tough to play the entire series though - Siren 1 is available on PS2 or PS4, the Siren 1 re-imagining is on PS3, but Siren 2 is only available on PS2 and not in all regions (just Asia & Europe, though it'll work on an emulator if you import a disk). Also, it's quite difficult, although they tone things down as the series progresses.

Huge fan of the first game (bought it for PSP & then got the one w/upgraded visuals for Vita), but what I'm hearing has me leary. Poor performance on the portable system, stages too big & camera zoomed in too much, and not having tower info are all problems I wasn't expecting to hear about. Also, one of the reviews I read said that there's only 15 stages & most of those are just previous stages with different enemy layouts? If true, that's a huge downgrade. Also, is there no medal challenge mode? That was one of the best features of the first game and I haven't heard anything about it for the sequel.

Thread: The ERA RPG Club Plays: Grandia
I'm up to the volcano now. A couple thoughts - I forgot how mana eggs tended to be clustered together - like right after the giant wall, you get 4 one right after another. Justin & Feena have all magic, Sue has everything but wind. A couple of tips - get Sue water magic ASAP and then go fire -> earth. She can get 3 weapon + element skills (Water, Fire, and Fire + Earth) very early on compared to everyone else and those are FANTASTIC for building up XP. If you abuse those skills to gain LVs, she becomes a BEAST. She actually deals more weapon damage with her long-range bow than Justin in my game right now thanks to her high bow & earth skill levels. Environmental traps (like poison floors) that are near restore points or dungeon entrances (go back to the town inn) are great for getting those water skill levels up. XP for each heal use decreases as the skill levels up so you'll want to keep using more advanced heal spells since the more advanced the heal spell, the more XP it gives. There's enough mana eggs to give everyone every element so if you're thorough with your exploration, you don't need to worry about that. Also, when characters leave permanently, you get special books placed in your item storage that will give skill levels to another character. The amount given is 1/3rd the amount the character learned (so for example, a character who leaves with LV9 Water magic will get you an item that gives +3 Water LVs). The story is great & I love how Justin & Feena go from friends to something more. And I love how camping makes things feel like an epic journey.

Thread: The ERA RPG Club Plays: Grandia
Finished Disk 1 the other night & got Rapp. The mermaid scenario was fun. The forest you meet Rapp in not so much. Some of the dungeon design is great, but it's generally dragged down by the poor camera - makes me appreciate how much camera movement has improved since the 90s. And I take it all back - water magic for Sue is a trap! Go fire, then earth with her, and just get her mace skill up high enough to learn the fire+earth skill, and then focus entirely on her bow skill & magic. The problem with water magic with Sue is that, yes, she gets a good mace+water skill and once you get it, you can pump her water magic up high, but water & maces don't do much for her stats (all defensive) and you don't need the high-level heal spells that early in the game so just give water magic to Justin/Feena. Fire magic on the other hand boosts Sue's act speed (which she desperately needs) & Earth + Bow both boost her strength which combined with her bow range overcoming her weak running speed turn her into an attacking powerhouse. She has a fire weapon skill that generates weapon + fire XP fast, plus a weapon + fire + earth buff skill that can be spammed and generates a moderate amount of XP with each use so you can get her bow/fire/earth LVs up really high - towards the end of disk 1, she was dealing more damage than Justin.

To anyone else reading this, don't do this. Sue's rather bad without any mana eggs and there are 18 mana eggs in the game and you only need 14 mana eggs to max everybody out (4 for Justin & Sue, two characters that start out with 1 mana egg already unlocked, and then everybody else either starts out with all the magic they can use or can't use magic). Even if you want to save mana eggs to max out everybody else faster, you should still give Sue a couple eggs.

Replayed up to the mine yesterday. The translation is better than I remember (like the Lunar games, there's lots of inter-party dialogue & like the Trails games, there's tons of NPC dialogue) & the dub is worse (though I've heard even worse). Combat is super easy so far, made easier if you regularly get advantage. I don't think the first boss even managed to get a hit on me. Makes me wish that the Grandia 2 Steam release had been a mega-hit and they did a remaster of Grandia 1. Clean up the writing, redo the dub, combine the strong points of the PS1 & Saturn releases, reduce combat downtime & load times, add some difficulty options, and throw in the Japanese-only expansion pack.

Now I feel old. When I saw Iwadare on an Ace Attorney credits list, I thought "Wow, it's Noriyuki Iwadare of Lunar & Grandia fame!" If I ever got the opportunity to make a 2D retro-style Grandia spin-off, I'd make Justin's mom the protagonist during her Lilly the Skull pirate days. I was planning on putting Grandia-style meal sections in Cosmic Star Heroine, but since the game went so far over schedule, they ended up getting cut. You can still see the remnants in a few places in the game where the characters sit down & discuss things at a table (this happens in the API base at the beginning of the game, Lauren's apartment, and on your spaceship), but these scenes are sadly non-interactive. Also, we did Grandia-style timebar knockback in our Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness games. I'd like to go full-blown Grandia-style combat w/character movement in a future game, but that's more difficult than what we did or what Child of Light did.

Siren 2 is so good - more variety & creativity in missions (like a character who is blind and has to use enemies/dog to get around), not as brutally difficult as the original game, while still having a huge amount of content like the first game. It's a shame it never came to North America (only Asia & Europe) since I think it's the best game in a fantastic series. Besides the Siren series, I really like the Resident Evil series (REmake + 2-4) and Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (which is buggy & has some weak segments, but when it's good, it's amazing). Also, I really like Parasite Eve 2 which is kind of a cross between a PS2 RE game and an RPG.

Besides the visuals, the combat system seems really neat (combining some of the best aspects of Bravely Default with a break system like Has-Been Heroes) and it looks like it'll be plenty beefy with 8 main playable characters and a nice mix of linear & non-linear content. Mostly it seems like it's a great attempt at fusing nostalgia with modern aspects. If the demo is any indication, there's some difficulty scaling depending on the order you do things. Like the first origin quest assumes you have 1 character at LV1, whereas the second origin quest you have 2 characters at around LV5, etc. You're not playing 8 LV1 single-character scenarios.

Thread: Has the demo sold you on Octopath Traveler?
Looks like it'll have a lot of depth if you really want to dig into it. Basically, it's like a streamlined Bravely Default combined with a streamlined FF13 break system. To go into more detail: It's like Bravely Default minus the Default. You get a boost point each turn automatically (up to a max of 5) & you can use up to 3 boost points in a turn to boost any move. So like an attack could hit multiple times, a chance-based move could have a higher success rate, etc. I feel like this is superior to the implementation in Bravely Default for two reasons - one, it's faster-paced (you only pick one move no matter what, whereas in Bravely Default you could pick up to 4 moves in a single-turn) and it's more player-friendly (since you automatically get points instead of having to build them up with defends). It's like a streamlined FF13 break system. Every enemy has 1 or more guard points. Every hit you make with a type that they're weak against (weapon types + magic element types) makes them lose a point. When they lose all points, they go into break mode briefly which means they're stunned (skip their next turn) & take more damage. I feel like this is superior to the implementation in FF13 because it's much more transparent & easier to plan around (whereas in FF13, you just switched to your ravagers and crossed your fingers). To go along with that, characters can simultaneously equip a weapon of each type that they're able to use and you can freely switch between them in combat just by pressing left/right on the attack command. Another thing I haven't seen a lot of people mention is the class system - when you get enough job points to unlock an ability, you can choose from many different abilities, with each successive ability costing more job points. So like with the merchant girl, I had her get a dodge move first (places a buff on her that makes it so the next physical attack against her is guaranteed to miss) but I could have gotten a group wind spell or a healing ability or an ability to summon mercenaries into combat at a price, etc. You can also get passive abilities that you can equip into 4 free slots - it looks like passives are unlocked based on how many total abilities you have in your job. Anyway, I really enjoyed what I played in the demo - there was a decent amount of strategy even with my solo character (using dodges to build up boost while avoiding damage, trying to take advantage of her steal money ability in boss fights) although that'll vary depending on which character you start with. It looks like combat will be a lot of fun once you get a full party if you like strategic turn-based JRPG combat.

Played about 5-6 hours now (restarted) and seen 5 of the 8 openers. Still liking the gameplay & the various classes & character abilities are interesting (although some more than others). Music & visuals are both quality. The main thing I'm a bit worried about is the story pacing - it feels like every story sequence takes like 50%-100% longer than it needs to take with a lot of dialogue that feels repetitive, and a lot of slow sprite animation flourishes between dialogue lines that don't feel like they add much to the experience. I'm also a bit worried about balance - this feels like the kind of game where a lot of the time you're going to be grossly overpowered or underpowered for the content. That's not necessarily a deal breaker since that kind of game can be fun too, but I'll have to see how it plays out in the full game.

Made the mistake of playing the demo (went with Tressa). Waiting until the end of next month (for payday) is going to be tough now. With Tressa, definitely make sure that you use her steal money ability on every enemy in boss encounters as the amount you get can be huge. The success rate increases as the enemy's HP decreases & you can boost it further with boost.

For our next game, Rx Machina, I'm thinking of using a LV-Up system similar to FF12 (which I believe is also similar to DQ11 but I haven't played it yet) and was wondering how people felt about that kind of system (I will confess, I've barely played any of FF12 & DQ11 isn't out in English or Chinese yet). Large grid (maybe 10x10) with each slot having an ability, stat bonus, or passive ability. Each character gets their own unique grid. Each LV-Up lets you unlock one adjacent slot. For abilities that appear multiple places on the board, the first one unlocked gives the character the ability and multiple unlocks boost the ability's strength. There will also be an activity in town during the sim segment that you'll be able to use to reset boards if you want to respect between missions. I'm thinking this would allow for a nice bit of customization without getting crazy complicated like say the Sphere Grid from FFX (with all the different paths, locked doors, and requirements for specific items) or Path of Exile's system (which is simple but HUGE).

Right. If you want more CRPG talk, talk about CRPGs. And if what you say is interesting, other people may join in. And like for me, I play much more JRPGs than CRPGs, but some of the JRPGs I love are border-cases (like the Etrian Odysey series & BoF: Dragon Quarter). And if people were talking about CRPGs that sound interesting, I would definitely make a mental note to check them out later.

Thread: Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion |OT| Metro Exodus
I'm very anti-multiplayer & Splatoon 1/2 are the only multiplayer-focused games I love. I have yet to finish the single-player modes of either game, not because they're bad, but because the multiplayer is too fun. This DLC is tempting me to buckle down & finish the story mode though since the DLC campaign sounds awesome.

I agree with you here as well. The approach they've taken here (pixel art combined with 3D visuals & modern effects) is far from the only viable approach. I like Octopath's style, but I also love traditional high quality pixel art.

As someone who makes RPGs with retro aesthetics, this is worth emphasizing. People have rose-colored glasses & if you want to capture the nostalgic feelings they have for classic games, you gotta match their memories not the reality. Like with our most recent game, visually, it's closer to a Saturn or PS1 game than a SNES game due to the higher resolution, expanded color palette, high number of animation frames or major sprites, and absence of tiles, but reviews always compare it to SNES graphics. And every one of our previous games has been called an 8-bit game regardless of their visuals.

Thread: Cosmic Star Heroine coming to Nintendo Switch in August (Digital + Physical)
It's not that interesting of a story. When the Switch was first revealed, I emailed Nintendo expressing interest in releasing the game on the Switch. I got a form letter back saying they weren't ready to accept applications but to sign up as a Nintendo developer (for Wii U / 3DS) which I did. For months, I periodically contacted Nintendo - I eventually got responses from actual people instead of generic form letters, but they were always vague non-committal "try again later maybe" responses. Talking to other indie dev friends, I heard that Nintendo generally didn't like to work directly with tiny indie devs and that our best bet would be to release through a publisher who was already approved for Switch releases. We were contacted by a major publisher who wanted to release the game for us on Switch, but the terms weren't great (mind you, they weren't awful either) and we'd have to port it ourselves. While we were debating whether or not to sign up with them, we were talking with LRG about our physical releases and they offered to port & release it for us with very favorable terms since they wanted to also do a physical release for it. They did all the porting work (although they asked us questions periodically & we were able to offer a suggestion that led to fixing an error that made the start-up load times longer than needed) and that's the story. :) $15 USD. That's precisely the reason why we're launching in August. Didn't want to compete with Octopath Traveler and by then, people who pick up Octopath at launch should be finishing it up & hopefully looking for their next RPG.

Preorders still count as sales when it comes to creating the Top 30 Best-Selling lists (All & Digital-only) so if we managed to break onto one of those before launch that would be HUGE. There's also the possibility that even if preorders aren't enough to break into either top 30 list that preorder sales could be strong enough to convince Nintendo that they should include the game in their general indie game marketing plans. I believe that LRG may be providing an option for people who would like to turn their PS4/Vita order into a Switch order so contact them and express your concerns.

They didn't just test it on Switch, they did the actual porting. We've also discussed them handling the XBO port but that'll be after the Switch version is out. As long as it doesn't do worse than Steam (and I don't see why it would - it's a great fit for portable, there's less competition, review codes are going out in plenty of time & it's a high quality port that isn't buggy like the PC version was at launch), I'll be pleased. If it does noticeably better than Steam, I'll be ecstatic.

Thread: Cosmic Star Heroine coming to Nintendo Switch in August (Digital + Physical)
Still too early, but between the digital & physical versions, it looks like we have a good shot at breaking even which is about all we could ask for from a Vita release in 2018. However, because of all the optimization that I did for the Vita version, the game was easier to port & the performance on Switch is fantastic (quick load times & steady 60 fps with only minor dips when loading/switching maps). So even if the Vita version "only" breaks even, the fact that it helped pave the way for the Switch version means that it should make it well worth the effort. The game hasn't been an amazing seller so far. Total combined sales for all platforms is under 100k. However, I'm confident that if Cosmic Star Heroine is going to succeed anywhere, it's going to be on Switch - it's a perfect fit for the demographic, it's a very high quality port, the game excels in a portable environment, there's not a lot of turn-based JRPG competition on the platform, and the game is already done & approved so we have over a month to try to build up hype. I'm obviously biased, but the game is sitting at a 90% user rating on Steam with over 200 reviews. People generally praise the innovative & tactical turn-based combat, the brilliant soundtrack from Hyperduck, the fantastic pixel art, and fast pace of the game.

Thread: Cosmic Star Heroine coming to Nintendo Switch in August (Digital + Physical)
Hey, I liked the RPGamer review - yeah, they didn't care for the story, but they gave us high marks in visuals, music, and combat system (my baby). I think the big sticking point for a lot of people is the tone & pacing. Although I spent a lot of time analyzing Chrono Trigger to see how it handled character movement & combat positioning & Phantasy Star was a big influence for plot & setting, I gotta admit, when I think nostalgic JRPGs, I think the Lunar games and I tried to emulate their mix of serious & silly. The result is a game that's more of a cheesy celebration of over-the-top sci-fi/fantasy pulp than the serious game that some people wanted. I feel the Freedom Festival scenario is a good litmus test (and I'll be vague here to avoid spoiling it for people who haven't played the game yet) - it starts out as an homage to stuff like Chrono Trigger & Xenogears, then events start happening & it just gets more and more over-the-top ridiculous. And some people see all this and think "Awesome!" and others think "Stupid!" And both responses are valid because different people want different things from their games. As far as pacing goes, one of my pet peeves is RPGs that are too slow & have too much filler. Like, one of my favorite games of all-time is Persona 4 Golden, and man, that game would be even better if they sped everything up a bit & cut some of the fat. I will admit that I maybe went a little too far in the opposite direction with CSH, but better a game that leaves you wanting more than a game that's too long. Anyway, everyone's welcome to their own opinion, although saying that you feel duped implies that people were lying to you because they like us rather than that they just had different opinions. The game has a 90% rating on Steam and it's not like anybody there cares who we are. Oh and here's a recent review of the Vita version: - I think it expresses both the strengths & the weaknesses of the game rather well.

Played DQ11 Chinese for a couple more hours. Some more thoughts: There was a simple stealth segment. Was pretty easy and if you fail a segment, it just means you fight a battle. There was also a Crash Bandicoot style "Run down while a giant thing chases you" segment. Really easy and I thought it was funny that other monsters were running away too (metal slime!). Got my second playable character. Thief-type - boomerangs, daggers, and thieving skills. Had trouble reading the first boomerang skill until I realized that they had written slime phonetically in Chinese (does extra damage to slime family enemies). Didn't know that there were multi-character unite moves, but that's cool. You can only use them when both characters are in glowy mode. This would be a difficult game to play through without some language ability - for example, there was a segment where you need to give a kid a couple items that's really easy if you read what the kid says, but would be rather difficult otherwise. I've had fun with the two "world" maps I've been too. Lots of different monsters to fight (or avoid), some secrets to find, and just generally pretty. Switched the camera system from free roam to cinematic in battles and I like that better since running around in combat didn't seem to do anything useful. Load times aren't bad. Maybe 3-5 seconds when switching between maps (and the maps are large) & nothing besides that. I think I'm heading to the first honest-to-goodness dungeon (not counting the tutorial dungeon or the stealth/escape dungeon), so I'm excited for that.

PSN point cards purchased! Also bought a notebook to write down new characters so it can double as Chinese study. Now to try to wrest the TV away from the kids long enough to download DQ11 (said it requires 30 GBs, but I have a pretty fast Internet setup). Here's a quick breakdown: DQ1 - The original. Only 1 vs 1 combat, tiny world with only a few locations. DQ2 - Much expanded sequel. Three character party with multiple enemies in combat. Drastically bigger world with lots of places to explore. One of the harder games in the series. DQ3 - This is the first one that's really popular even now. Big world, first game in the series with 4 character party. Make your own characters, plus a basic multi-class system (at a certain location, you can reclass which drops you down to LV1 but you get to keep your spells & half your stats). Has some fun connections with DQ1. DQ4 - This is the first game in the series with more of a story focus. There's 5 chapters - the first 4 chapters each focus on a different character (or characters) and then chapter 5 finally reveals the Hero (or Heroine) who then recruits the main characters of the previous 4 chapters to fight the big bad. A popular game in the series. DQ5 - The first game that wasn't on the NES and the one that introduced monster recruiting to the series. Has a generational aspect to it - at one point, you marry one of the main characters and then later, there's a time leap & you join forces with your children. One of the most popular games in the series. DQ6 - Has a class system and a dual world setup. One of the nicest looking SNES RPGs around. DQ7 - It's DQ6 but bigger & more complicated. Set party w/class system. First game in 3D (PS1). DQ8 - First game on the PS2. Set party w/skill points. Really nice graphics & a big 3D world to explore. One of the more popular games in the series. DQ9 - On the DS. Make your own party. Lots of post-game content. DQ10 - The MMORPG. DQ11 - PS4 & 3DS with a Switch version coming sometime in the future. Currently only available in Japanese & Chinese with an English version scheduled for sometime next year. My personal recommendation for a FF fan to jump into DQ would be either DQ8 (PS2 or mobile) or DQ4 (DS or mobile).

Okay, played about an hour of DQ11 now. Spent the first few minutes flailing about while I had to remind myself that confirm/cancel are reverse the NA norm. Graphics are basically better DQ8 which I'm cool with. One of my 3-year-olds was super excited about the dog that shows up early on and spent the entire time telling me to chase & find it. So no comments on the music's quality. I'm really pleased that the Chinese font is easy to read. First "dungeon" is basically a super-easy tutorial. They give you 2 non-controllable allies, one of which automatically heals & restores your MP so I don't even know if it's possible to lose. Story is nothing special so far, but there have been more cutscenes than I expected. Even in the linear areas so far, they've still managed to hide some secret treasures here and there. I'm not surprised, but I'm still a little disappointed that saving is still tied to churches. Looks like you can opt into some self-imposed restrictions like no running away in combat for higher difficulty. Really excited to play more. Looks like I'm about to get my first taste of the world map.

Halo has a relatively narrow demographic (primarily US, primarily 16-35 males) and has been rapidly dropping in relevancy. Maybe at the height of its popularity, but there's no way it's beating out something like the Minecraft Creeper or an Angry Bird for non-gamer recognition these days. As far as indie games go, I'd guess Freddie from FNAF would be the most famous with maybe Shovel Knight in 2nd place. Although I swear that for 6-12 months after the game came out, Undertale characters (especially Papyrus) were everywhere online.

A year or two ago when SteamSpy was still able to access info more easily, I was paying close attention to Steam indie releases and generally speaking, selling 100k or more in your first month placed you in the top tier of indie successes. Selling 250k on a single platform in half a month places you in indie mega-blockbuster status. I don't need to imagine.

If you've been following our progress, you know that we've wanted to do a Switch version for quite some time, that we've been looking into working a publisher to get it on Switch, and that we weren't planning on announcing anything until everything was finalized. We submitted the Switch version to Nintendo at around the beginning of the month & passed Nintendo's final approval process right before E3 so it was the ideal time to announce it. I apologize to anyone who ordered the PS4 or Vita version who would rather have a Switch version. On the plus side, neither version oversold (they were pretty much right on par with expectations) so if you want to sell them later, you should be able to at the bare minimum recoup your cost, if not make a profit.

Timing aside, the "all sales are final" is a key part of LRG's business plan. They're a tiny company & their profit margin is low (since after production/shipping costs, most of the profit goes to the developers/publishers of the games) but they manage to thrive because they minimize their risk. Opening up the floodgates to mass refunds whenever a new port is announced is the kind of thing that could put them out of business. Same thing for a lot of indie developers (us included) - most of us teeter on the edge of staying in business & not and trying to convince people not buy our game now but wait for a better version that may come at some later date isn't a great business plan.

CSH sold about 5k on PS4 physical & about 5k on Vita physical. The regular editions sold more than the CEs. Any speculation beyond that is just that - speculation.

To answer a few questions: There are regular & collector editions for both PS4 & Vita (so 4 SKUs). The regular editions are $30 and are open pre-order. The collector editions are $65 and have limited quantity. Kickstarter backers will get an email with info on how they can order the collector editions in advance. If a substantial number of kickstarter backers order the collector editions, we'll up the quantity. The regular editions are $5 more expensive than standard LRG releases because they include a 60+ full-color manual.

LRG has a specific quantity that they're planning on for the CE, but if early purchases from KS backers are higher than expected, they'll up the quantity so non-backers still have a chance to get one.

I've been told they'll be in the game cases. The content of the two manuals is the same, but the regular editions have standard PS4/Vita instruction manuals whereas the manual in the CE is setup more like a Working Designs SCD manual (so larger to fit the SCD case & I believe they're going to do some fancy foil stuff on the cover). EDIT: From LRG's twitter account: "The manual is formatted to fit the long-box case and will feature high-gloss thick stock for the cover with foil elements. Our printer has been given some Sega CD Working Designs manuals for reference."

I'm really excited to play Octopath Traveler and loved the demo. However, we've seen in the past that Amazon video game sales charts aren't a great predicator of overall success. I'm really rooting for the game and hope that it brings a lot of turn-based JRPG fans to the system who a month later will be looking for more turn-based RPGs to buy. ;)

I don't remember the exact game, I just remember that there was a game I was rooting for that got up high on the Amazon sales chart and then when we got overall NPD sales data, I don't think it even charted. But if preorders for the game are showing up high on the eshop itself, that's certainly a good sign. Right now, my main decision about the game revolves around whether I'm going to buy it as soon as it launches or if I'm going to be more responsible and wait for the end of the month when royalties come in.

Thread: Octopath Traveler making waves on Amazon. Why?
Seriously. After 1.5 years in North America, the PlayStation 1's RPG library was pretty much Beyond the Beyond, Suikoden 1, and a butchered localization of Persona 1. Wild Arms 1 came out a little later and FF7 finally hit at around the 2 year mark. All this from what is commonly considered one of the best systems for RPGs of all-time. Most consoles have really weak RPG libraries for the first couple of years. That the Switch is doing as good as it is in this genre already is impressive. Nobody's buying a $60 turn-based RPG with retro-pixel-based visuals and not knowing what they're getting into. Doubly so given that there's been 2 big demos for the game already - one of which lets you play the start of the game for 3 hours. And ebay is flooded with used copies for every major release a few days after launch. That's just how used copies work.

Thread: Dark Souls 1 seems to be looked upon fondly? I can't help but criticise it for all its flaws.
Bloodborne is really good and was the first game that felt like a worthy Dark Souls sequel to me. With that said, it's a shorter & more linear game with drastically less build options than any of the other Souls games (and what builds it does have lack variety) which really hurts its replayability. Dark Souls 3 just never clicked for me. Coming after Bloodborne, it felt like a step down with combat, while still not having the size of Dark Souls 2 or the fun interconnected design of Dark Souls 1. And I get that they wanted to make weapons more interesting, but ditching the spell system from Dark Souls 1 & 2 with a generic MP system was a big downgrade in how fun & interesting magic was. It also felt like they ramped up the combat difficulty a lot faster than the other games like they assumed anyone playing Dark Souls 3 had already played the previous games. One thing that I think gets lost now is just how well designed Dark Souls 1 was for replayability. There are all these different weapons & spells, each of which lends itself to different playstyles which encourages replayability, but also, there are so many secrets scattered throughout the game's levels that when you do go back to replay with a different build, there's a good chance you'll find brand new secrets that you missed the last time, including entirely optional areas. Throw in the fact that certain one-time enemies have a chance of dropping special equipment and different playthroughs can feel very different. In contrast, the later games tended to be more linear, but also the later games came out at a much more rapid rate. There was nearly a 2.5 year gap between Dark Souls 1 & 2, but then these games came out on a year schedule (2014 - Dark Souls 2, 2015 - Bloodborne, 2016 - Dark Souls 3) so there was less incentive to really dig into each one since even the shorter Souls-style games are fairly long.

I think SotN did a lot to innovate the genre. And I agree that HK might be seen as the latest great IP in the genre and that is a big achievement. As time passes however the less radical games in the genre tend to get obscured. In HK's favour, the audiovisual design is so strong that it might actually make it a lot more relevant than many other recent Metroidvanias. It's harder than many modern metroidvanias, but compared to Super Metroid and SotN, it's not hard at all :b

I feel you OP. My favourite games of recent years were all competitive multiplayer games. You just don’t get the same tension and high from SP games. As I get older I have less and less patience for common issues in SP games such as bad writing and filler content. None of which exist in MP focused games. Of course every once in a while an SP game is just so well made that I can’t put it down, but mostly it’s about MP games for me now.

Plenty of reasons. Let’s Go seems to have an art style closer to Go and the strategy behind that and the simplified catching and battling is to cater to Go players, lapsed fans and kids new to the franchise. You are being emotional if you really think that this isn’t a business move but a plot by thr directors of GF to ”ruin” your experience. If the 2019 title wasn’t in development you’d have a point :b

This is a personal opinion and you are completely entitled to it! This is business strategy analysis and in my opinion you are completely wrong. There is a real need for "soft reboots" every now and then when a series bloats to the point where Pokemon is (over 800 designs!).

GF runs a business, if for whatever reason gen1 evokes the strongest feelings among fans and non-fans, they will continue referencing those designs. They don't "pander" to anyone, they use their strongest, most recognizable designs as the backbone of the IP.

Like any real personal growth and improvements, getting fit takes effort. Effort means struggle, discomfort, time and failures. Some people adapt to these feelings better and some people just can’t do it. In this age of free and accurate information about diets and excercise it just comes down to how much any given person wants to be healthier. Shaming people is not productive, it’s not like a fit dumb person starts to read more if you just shame them on their lack of knowledge for example.

You are right in that MCU movies aren't for me. I used to like many of the more 'auteur' style superhero movies like the Raimi Spiderman trilogy and Nolan Batman movies. V For Vendetta and even Hulk by Ang Lee were interesting to me. The MCU style of blending everything together to a grey goop is very unattractive to me. Infinity War was entertaining because of actual stakes and the fact that they didn't really have time for any filler between all the different characters. Iron Man was also pretty fun before the final fight, but that's an ancient MCU movie by now. I watch all kinds of movies all the time to keep my mind open. (I know this will sound crazy to MCU fans lol) Just wanted to clear that one out since there seems to be a lot of bad faith in this thread.

I think the highlights for me were the wool women with spears, the villains premise and the african influences in set/costume designs. Everything else from the plot to the storytelling and especially the effects were garbage. I endured it because a friend wanted to see the movie to the end, I think I would've dropped out at some point if I was alone. If it's any comfort to you I couldn't finish Dr. Strange. Nah I think it's ok to disagree with "most moviegoers" just like it's perfectly fine to disagree with "most music listeners" about what is good and what is not.

Mario's abilities and movement are great indeed, but the level design offered close to zero challenges in the story progression (not that I expected any super hard levels).

Thread: Super Mario Odyssey |OT| RSVP: Guests of the Bride
Took my time with the story, finished yesterday. The end sequence was great, though not very challenging. I think I’m in the minority when I say that some of the worlds weren’t that good, the forest area with its bizarre music choice, the snow kingdom that was just flat out boring to explore and the water kingdom that barely had any platforming going on. All in all this is a mario game with the least focus on challenging platforming and sometimes it felt like a chore to just roam around looking for collectibles without any challenge. Despite the lack of challenge I enjoyed the creativity and the polish this game offered, it’s much better than 3D World, but for me the Galaxy games offered better challenge, better music, bosses and themes.

There’s a big difference in adult and child ignorance. Also in their juridical status and mental development. A child could grow to be a sane person even if their racist dad put a MAGA cap on their head. Or they might grow up to be a racist. Saying only one outcome is possible is false.

Thread: What’s up with kids and MAGA hats?
No. I vastly prefer Obama to Trump, but the logical fallacies are plain to see. For example my art school teacher back in day hated Obama (for the drone strikes) and called us naive brats when we tried defending him. He would've likely thrown us out of class if we wore "hope" merch. For him Obama wasn't any better than George W. Obviously Trump is so bad that any previous presidents look great in comparison, but that doesn't make everyone who buys his merch a racist nor a nazi. That is a really convenient and b&w way to look at things. I would never defend any form of discrimination. If you honestly feel that everyone arguing against labelling these kids as nazis in this thread are being racists, then I don't know what to say.

I want to make sure I am coming across clear, if the MAGA symbol/hat is used as a hateful symbol by enough people its meaning changes. So if the situation in US is indeed like you guys argue, then there's no defending wearing that stuff. It's not ok. But still there's a difference in being ignorant and hateful. It's sad if an ignorant or hateful parent buys their kid that cap but that kid doesn't turn into a racist in that very moment. If they learn what it means and still continue to wear it, then they have made a conscious choice towards all the bad things the symbol represents. Calling out the symbols and educating people helps them to trash the symbol.

It's almost impossible to create a compelling movie without "human drama". All the best sci-fi movies explore the unknown whilst having the limited human experience as the lens we see those events through. The movie even alleviates this with Lena drinking water and placing the cup in front of camera. The same shot where Kane's glass was bloody in the beginning of the movie.

Man this was a disappointment even though I tried to lower my expectations. It was great seeing a diverse cast and set/character design that celebrated black cultures, but everything beyond that: the plot, the writing, the action, pacing and the CGI sucked. The movie was a total chore to endure... the last big battle was comically bad, armored rhinos??? What :D The last train fight looked like 90’s cartoon CGI my god what happened there? Some scenes honestly reminded me of the star wars prequels because of how badly everything was composed, kinda like the Odin scenes in Ragnarok. Even the music was disappointing, I expected way more classic hip hop references but most of the time you had generic fantasy choirs. Wakanda theme was great at least.

Thread: New Nintendo president Furukawa: “considering various possibilities” for 3DS successor
If people feel it has a drought then that’s how it is. Mario Tennis and Sushi Strikers might be polished games, but they really are game types that fly under the radar for many people. For me the only exciting exclusive game is Pokemon for the rest of the year and even that is leagues below games like BotW, Odyssey and XC2 in terms of how strong it seems as a title.

It's a very low-costed card and would be played in many decks. A 1-mana 1/3 that basically draws you cards each turn is nuts. Way better than Mana Tide Totem, though it obviously doesn't enable combo decks like the totem does.

It's not easier. If you play Eel, your deck is premade so it's active every time. Valet is only active after you played a 3-mana card. And Valet is one of the most powerful cards for its cost, so Eel being 1 damage weaker doesn't mean it's not strong.

Yeah Runes made secret mage a top tier deck. Creeper just makes tempo decks better, call to arms might the most powerful card since it has made Murloc Pally godlike again.

The Darkness is not a competitive card. Like even if some deck could use it consistently, it doesn't have charge, it's a dead top deck mid-to-late game and most decks can easily deal with one huge minion. It's a fun concept like most timmy cards. Shredder was a neutral. You can't compare it to a class card (which tend to be "undercosted").

You don’t have to go all in on Kingsbane guys. It’s a fine card for early game and a fine draw with one buff, it really doesn’t matter what that buff even is. Bonus points for added durability in control stalemates. If rogue can play lifegain buff one day Kingsbane becomes potentially a busted card.

Just looked at the final spoiler. Damn Candleshot seems legit! Cave Hydra is undercosted, but too bad it's a board control card. Kingsbane can be a win condition in the right deck, love the design. Cavern Shinyfinder is nuts. How the fuck is this 2-mana? Hooked Reaver holy shit! Another great demon with Vulgar Homunculus. Kobold Librarian, one the best cards for warlock ever. Dark Pact, definitely playable. Carnivorous Cube is insane if you hit a deathrattle with it. Might be too slow for constructed still. So many good commons for arena... like I can't even remember any other set having this many legit filler commons.

Raza is still a problem since if you have played him, you don't even need a blowout turn from the DK battlecry, you just slam him ASAP to start milking the hero power. If you have not played Raza, you do need to think about when you play Anduin since you lose healing. He can be nerfed from two sides, from my stream watching experience it's the OTK that triggers most pro players, not the battlecry turn.

Retro is an amazing developer and whatever they touch seems to turn into gold. Still it's easy to understand why people get dramatic over this leak, Star Fox has been a B-tier IP for a long time, it's hard to get excited over it when there are so many mediocre titles within the IP. People need to remind themselves of DK though. That was another dead IP and Retro blew it out of the water.

My bad, I meant us viewers. They tried to drama up some of those deaths, but the characters were too minor for me to give a shit :b Harrelson was a bigger character, but so one dimensional that I was glad he's dead and not appearing in any of the sequels.

There are differences in how realistic human faces look even when they are based on scans. I'm not a huge fan of how Nero looks here either, but I understand they have tech and direction based on REVII here. Uncharted 4 is the king of realistic facial animations and they are much more stylized than the stuff we see here.

I guess I’m depressed. I manage a lot things, I work in a great company with awesome people, I have a few friends, I excercise and eat pretty healthy... but under it all I have a growing sense of emptiness. It can all be traced back to my breakup with my ex that I was with for 8 years, love of my life etc, the usual story. I still love her I guess even though I’ve had relantionships after her. Something about that person changed me and the breakup broke everything. I want to see it all through and live old, but every time I pause to think in between my activities I get the sense that I already lived my life and the one doing all this is just a husk or an automaton. I have no dreams or ambition. Without dreams and hope and passion, you aren’t really living, just existing. Bah I have it great compared to many, but felt good to write something.

If it would be only about "our animal nature", we would still eat bone marrow after the lions and hyeenas had their fill. Society and moral standards evolve all the time in fact today faster than they ever had.

Hint to all oled players, you can adjust your netflix subtitles from their website. The pure white burns your eyes out in HDR content.

Yeah low resolution crap did look better on my old Plasma, but it was also smaller and in the end that old stuff is always gonna look worse than native content. I'm watching Sopranos on 720p (or lower, who knows when it's HBO nordic) and it's fine on my C7. Much better than my friends good Sammy LCD in fact.

Dunno. Some footage/game seems to get blacks crushed in low no matter how you set your brightness/contrast. It can’t be right to accept crushed detail right? Nvm I read wrong

Though not exactly "the male equivalent of bayo", Dante in DMC3 made a lot of my teenage male friends uncomfortable and some of them actually hated the story because of him. It was probably the hair, boyish looks and the nipples in the opening cut-scenes.

Not necessarily a "flaw", but just the vision they had for the look of the game. Not every developer wants/needs to cater to HDR. They wanted a really light and soft look for MH and HDR just doesn't jive with it.

I’m curious too. I put in the Rtings settings and then watched all kinds of footage. With black level set to darker I just increased brightness to see if there’s detail in the blacks and indeed there was, quite a lot actually. So I set the black level in the brighter mode and then set my brightness lower until blacks were deep but not crushing any detail... You can check from the PS settings what resolution it’s pushing. In the video/audio - output info or something like that. I also got a prompt when using Pro on the TV and it works fine. I didn’t even need to mess with the deep colour HDMI setting at all, in fact I think it’s greyed out for me.

Thanks, I didn’t mess with the white balance or gamut as they adviced this in their page. I just turned off all processing except dynamic contrast for HDR and took their basic settings for contrast/brightness/oled light as the starting point. So I’ll just trust my eyes :) And I played Uncharted: Lost Legacy yesterday... this is the HDR benchmark experience. Even more than something like Stranger Things 2. Like I had to stop every minute of that game because I couldn’t believe my eyes. Everyone with a HDR set owes themselves to try it out.

They could be bigger for sure, but the overall feel is still very athletic. Just from a visual design point of view the trope of having a relatively weak/slender individual piloting mechs/power suits is pretty common and makes sense. I have nothing against the SNES design (where Samus was closer to a stronglifter), but also nothing against this route since I've always gotten the image from the games that the power armor is the source of her power. The heels look dumb as fuck.

Yes you are trying to argue how a few inches of more muscle would explain jumping 10 meters, which is absurd. I don't disagree on the fact that the slimmer Samus is there for the male audience, but I do on the fact that she needs to be more muscular to operate the magical (yes magical) power armor.

I never said it was a mech suit. It's partly biological and operated and maintained by her force of will. And most of the stuff happening in the games would immediately crush a human, no matter how strong. In the SNES game manual they say that Samus is a really big woman (90kg) and very strong, but that build seems to have since been dismissed in the canon for whatever reason. Also I don't know in which circles you guys hang out in, but that image of zero suit samus is an image of an extremely fit person. Not a stronglifter or anything, but still.

Intent matters the most and should be quite clear when playing a game. Just the key art alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Plenty of women and men like to dress in skimpy clothes and in a way that supports their best ’assets’.

2B isn’t a secret, didn’t her designer openly say that he creates characters that fit his fetishes. Now that said her design has more layers than that (like most designs), the pretty clothes and plentiful skin are a clear and cool contrast to the barren world of the game and the enemies. One could argue her clothes are explained in the lore of the game but that is just secondary, superfluous and added later to tie things together. The designer intention is clear here, she is meant to look sexy and exciting. Now those ’blades’ if I understand correctly are some kind of magical beings? Practicality is not very important in my opinion if that’s the case.
