Everything I hear about this game makes it sound more and more half-baked. Haven't tried it myself since the anti-cheat doesn't work with Linux and there's no way to disable it even though they've pretty openly said they're not going to do jack shit to punish cheaters, but there's no reason you shouldn't be able to…

Actually, I think a new Melty Blood is some of the least surprising news of the year. French Bread’s been pretty open about wanting to do another one at some point, and with the source material finally getting its long-promised big-budget reboot this summer, it only makes sense for a new Melty Blood to follow.

Frank, which is definitely not just a clever diversion from that $1.3 billion lawsuit or anything, will Frank Frank Frank Frank Frank.

I think I left Persona 5 two-thirds of the way through, for 6-8 months, before finally coming back around to finishing it. That’s probably about as long as I’m willing to go for any game that has an actual plot to it, because my memory is awful.

NieR Automata is a must-play despite feeling a bit janky at times, but if the Windows Store build is roughly the same as the Steam build I’d advise caution. The PC port had some serious framerate and stability issues that never got patched; even on a GTX 1080 I had the framerate drop into the single-digits for no…

I think the review that calls it a “perfect companion” to BvS and Man of Steel really says it all - it might be a more coherent mess than the theatrical release, but it’s probably exactly what anyone would expect from a Justice League movie by Zack Snyder.

Jesus Christ, how many times does Torchlight’s corpse need to be beat down and pissed on?

As long as Abrams’ involvement is largely hands-off in terms of plot and direction, this has the potential to be pretty great. And even if he gets more involved than I’d like, it’s still gotta be ten times better than another Snyder flick.

I tried it but it’s pretty weird even for a reboot. Easily the most boring Holy Grail War I’ve ever seen.

Hasn’t really been years, the creator’s been doing minor patches semi-regularly. The difference is that they were being uploaded to places like the Internet Archive rather than NexusMods, due to the author’s apparent beef with them.

And yet somehow the PC version still doesn’t allow splitscreen, in any modes. Hard to imagine the franchise would be a tenth of what it is today if people couldn’t group around a TV and play for hours at a time, but 343 doesn’t really seem to care about that.

Is the localization for Ys IX actually decent this time? I usually don’t have issues with NISA on the translation side of things, but my god they butchered Ys 8 so badly. I’ve heard that the retranslation is a lot better, but I also know that NISA rarely learns from their mistakes, so I’m in no rush to give them the…

Version control isn’t hardly the main issue; remember that Git only came about because multiple other versioning systems that already existed simply weren’t a good fit for the scale and scope of Linux kernel development.

Yeah, I’ll take a hard pass on this. The Snapdragon 888 and 5G would be a nice upgrade, but 5G’s not even available around here yet (well, except through T-Mobile, but it’s basically wideband LTE) and the 855 still handles whatever I throw at it.

What If... there was a timeline where Marvel Studios had the X-Men rights from the start? We could be doing an Exiles series by now. But I’ll take this, I guess.

If Breath of the Wild was hitting a consistent 30FPS for you, I think we were playing very different games.

Depends on the manufacturer. Samsung still has a whole software suite for it called DeX, and for a time it even allowed you to run a sandboxed Linux OS on top of Android. Sadly the Linux functionality got killed off before it ever got off the ground, but with recent updates you don’t even have to physically plug in…

Being that this is a full Windows PC and not an Android TV device, it’s actually a lot better for native gaming than the Shield TV. The UHD600 GPU is more than enough to handle Dolphin and a good amount of PS2 games via PCSX2. Hell, there’s a video of a guy running Breath of the Wild halfway playably (15-20FPS, which…

Might be worth noting that while the specs on the crowdfunding page do mention M.2 SSD support, the device clearly can’t use what most people would consider ‘standard’ M.2 drives - at roughly 60mm per side, an 80mm long 2280 SSD wouldn’t fit in the box. More likely, it only supports 42mm SSDs, and even then it doesn’t…

Flash is a buggy, vulnerable, resource-guzzling piece of trash, but for archival purposes I’d much rather have a final version that’s completely sandboxed and restricted from network access instead of simply being told ‘no, it’s gone forever’.
