I wonder how much debt Sony offloaded onto them before shutting them down.

I’ve always liked the storm in the Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC from Mass Effect 2. It takes place on a ship chasing the sunset on a planet with a really slow rotation, and there’s a massive storm at the terminator. It looks amazing.

As an actual game it was pretty terrible. Unique skills only being learnable by a single person, multiple nested menus to perform basic functions like equipping something, lots of questionable things like overtuned traps and trap rooms in low level areas.

I mean, it won anime of the year in 2023, and best English VA performance too. The story is flat out phenomenal. You’re doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a fair chance.

It was huge in the Ancient Gods 1 and 2. That one ghost enemy that would possess and power up others you had to hit with the microwave beam for example.

I’m hoping they move away from requiring specific weapons or mods to counter specific enemies. Stoked to learn more about Sentinel Prime.

All Sony had to do was make account linking optional and give a cosmetic to those who linked, and there would have been zero issues.

Ear plugs and an air horn would probably do the trick.

At least they give new players aetheryte tickets to teleport directly to the waking sands now. No more teleporting to Horizon and taking public transit like some kind of peasant.

I think this can go either way. Some actors have done a lot of voice work and it shows, and others have a much more wooden performance than what you’d get from them if they were on a movie or tv show instead. Peter Dinklage voiced Ghost in Destiny 2 and was so poorly received that Bungie hired Nolan North to rerecord all the existing lines and voice the character going forward.

I grew up watching Dragon Ball. It was my first introduction to anime and helped shape my childhood. Rest in peace Toriyama, your work touched many lives and you’ll be missed.

I bought so many games on sale after I got my first grown-up job, that just ended up sitting in my library while I played the same 3 games. I bought a Steam Deck 6 months ago and it’s been great for clearing out my backlog. I love being able to play games sitting in the recliner instead of at a desk.

This happens though. You can open a can of condensed soup or cranberries and it will pour out in the shape of the can because it’s all congealed together. Canned foods are usually pasteurized in the can and have a lot of preservatives and emulsifiers so that can help “fix” the texture for long term storage.

I started with Jerboa for a few months but I think I’ve settled in Connect now. If I had to pick between Jerboa and Boost though I’d pick Jerboa.

Thanks for that, I found some great looking shows to watch.

The episode where Frieren talks about mana suppression she mentions doing mana exercises, and after 1000 years that’s why she has so much. Fern has been training the same way for like 20 years now so she probably has a pretty huge mana pool compared to the average mage. She also only uses basic attack and defense magic, so she’s almost like a demon in that she’s mastered a single specific talent. In this case that talent is rapid firing dozens of basic attack spells at once.

I’m replaying Doom Eternal right now and I feel this so hard. Even with ammo upgrades and judicious chainsaw use I’m constantly out of ammo. Really makes me wish for a melee weapon that doesn’t have limited fuel or whatever.

I find turning off motion blur and screen shake/weapon bobbing really helps for me. Assuming you have the option that is.

I keep taking breaks from Baldur’s Gate to play action/fps games. I can only handle so much turn based tactical gameplay at once.

I’m taking a break from BG3 to replay Doom Eternal. I got the DLC for it a while ago and never played. I also need the space back on my Steam Deck lol so I need to finish it so I can uninstall.
