Wow, I never noticed the fast forward feature on my Steam copy. Doing a google search it looks like they added it to the config launcher. I have played quite a few older games with fast forward like FF12, FF9, (if only X had it at the time..) and it really helps get through those games (again) without taking forever.…

I have been having a similar debate with myself but it is either start with Cold Steel 1 (PS4) or Trails in the Sky 1 (pc). I am actually pretty far in Trails in the Sky 1 from a couple years ago. I really enjoyed the game but I got distracted and it ended up being a game I put off revisiting because of having to…

You can disable Cortana entirely in the Local Group Policy Editor. Open run and type gpedit.msc and navigate to Computer Config—>Admin Templates—>Win Components—>Search-->Allow Cortana (disable it). That will not change with Windows updates.

That would be an interesting twist. I think the word traveler is referring to the player. The player is traveling 8 paths. Otherwise, yes it would be travelers as each traveler is on 8 paths. This is of course assuming you even unlock all 8 characters at the start and play through with them all - but that seems to be…

To my best knowledge, this simply means opening a console, laptop, etc cannot itself void the warranty. In order for the warranty to be voided the manufacturer has to demonstrate that something you did caused the problem. This protects the consumer - let’s say I upgrade the hard drive in my laptop and then 3 months…

I read a theory of the movie saying the movie is about cancer. I think this is not accurate at all. Cancer is more used as an example rather than the rule. The shimmer is a prism which seems to be merging all DNA together. Think of it as creating an ultimate organism (eventually). The old dies and new is born…

I agree on that - although I can see why they changed it a bit for the movies (new) themes. I really enjoyed in the book how the biologist was in her own world and how that echoed into her relationship. In book 3 I almost feel like her journey with the owl was somewhat a way of showing the kind of relationship she…

I agree with your points. A few things I thought were missed opportunity:

I finished the books before the movie came out and loved them - although book 2 was kind of slow. What really got me going was all the theories and explanations people came up with after reading the books. If you Google “Southern Reach explained” there are some excellent reddit and goodreads threads with pages of…

That deck is barely even T3 and fluctuates not even being T3. It is not even considered a remotely strong deck. Also, that deck tends to rely on oracle/vanish to wipe your cards out while it builds the weapon. The oracle removal should help you see the deck less on ladder. It is not currently a popular deck anyway…

I know you can get third party ones and it is different than the Switch. However, Nintendo branded ones are still way more expensive. They know certain consumer categories will purchase them and probably some retailers will push them as well. I was stating Nintendo wants to sell as many of them as possible - no that…

The drive while docked could easily work. There would need to be a Switch app that lets you toggle games between ext and int very easily. That way the drive can be more of a storage device to put games that don’t fit on your card and you dont play regularly. Of course I doubt that happens. Nintendo wants to sell as…

I would jump on a remaster. I am a huge Mistwalker fan - LO is my favorite game. I originally played this on Dolphin emulator and it looks nice and crisp but ended up having some emulation problems and crashes. Probably fixed now. Then I picked up the collectors ed on Ebay and never got around to getting back into the…

Any fan of JRPGs should be welcome to review this game. That is the target audience and we all enjoy a variety of styles. If you only care what fans of the series think - that might be well for you - but doubtful the majority of people interested in the game will find it as useful as a more objective review.

I am not really sure from a dev design viewpoint, but I always viewed permadeath as basically a “game over”. I always started the last map/battle over when someone died. I got through all FE games (GC and onward) without anyone dying (with some save reloads of course). I think starting with the Wii version you could…

Yeah the 360 version was super choppy too. Be nice to play that at a solid frame rate on PC when you get the laptop.

Just curious - why Last Remnant? Is that one of your favorite games you play often? Or you in the middle of a save and want to finish on a better system?

Did you play Pillars of Eternity? That game was great in the style of BG..down to the lore and characters. For me Divinity was definitely a step below that game. They came out around the same time so they do get compared. I liked the Wasteland/Fallout 1-2 type gameplay of Divinity. It was a nice change from classic…

Remote play works well for me but after playing the Switch the Vita screen doesn’t cut it anymore. Been meaning to try and setup remote play on my Android tablet for awhile to get a bigger screen.

It is similar. DA:O has a deeper customization than FF12 gambit to my memory. That was one of my favorite things about DA:O -especially with how you interacted with passives.
