I got sudachi right when all that shit went down with yuzu. Had to mess with the settings a bunch, but once it got dialed in it was running really well when I was playing Tears of the Kingdom

That’s so fucking weird to drop a remaster or remake like that so suddenly with no advertising or announcement. Something about this still doesn’t feel right in my gut, so I guess I’ll believe it when (if) it does drop. I don’t even know if I am going to buy it if it’s real, I have more faith in the modders behind Skyblivion than I do in Bethesda to actually do right with their IPs

Nintendo really had their thinking-caps on tight when they decided that a third of the N64 controller was always inaccessible

I think the PlayStation 3 is old enough now that some people consider it to be “retro” (ugh 😩). But the PS3 was notoriously difficult to develop game for, thanks to it’s unique architecture. This meant that games that were on multiple platforms looked worse and ran terribly on the PS3 since the devs didn’t have the time or resources to optimize their games on the system. Even first party devs took nearly the entire consoles life span to properly utilize the hardware with Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, and maybe Guerilla Games’ Killzone 3. Overall, it’s really disappointing that Sony made such a powerful console that was such a pain in the ass to dev for that no one really took advantage of all that power

Some friends and I play multi-world randomizers together. Randomizers modify a game so that important items/unlocks are in different locations or are obtained in a different way. I usually play Ocarina of Time and a randomizer changes all the “treasure chest” items found throughout the world, so instead of finding the bow in the Forest Temple (where it should be in the game), it could be found behind a rock in a cave in the middle of the field. I constantly have to ask myself “What items don’t I have yet?” and “What areas do I have access to that I haven’t searched yet?” It turns the game into a kind of puzzle game. There is a website we use called Archipelago.gg that lets you connect randomizers together. I can play an OOT randomizer and my friend can be playing a Pokemon Emerald randomizer, and when I open a chest I can find items from his game and he gets a gym badge, an HM, or something else dropped into his inventory. And it works the other way when he beats another trainer, he could get one of my items and I get some rupees, or a hookshot dropped into my inventory.

Gamers are truly the most oppressed class

So… COD is planning on doing what Battlefield: Bad Company 2 did 14 years ago?

Congrats, I guess

I didn’t need to be hurt like this today. Why would you do this to me?

I love playing randomized OOT. If your a casual player and don’t have the location of every chest memorized, I would strongly suggest using a map tracker, I used Emo Tracker. It lets you cross off any chests you have already found, and it will show you what chests are available to you with the items you have.

I’m just excited to see what name they are gonna officially pick for the new ‘Xbox 720 Series XS SSX Tricky Triple-X’

Just sent

There is also a google drive link on Free Radical Archive’s discord if the Hidden Palace link is down. Unfortunately I am away from my pc and can’t verify either right now

Me having my first ‘open world’ experience with TES Oblivion and not enjoying it until my inner monologue suddenly switches from “I don’t know where to go. I don’t know what to do” to “I can go anywhere. I CAN DO ANYTHING!” and then I am slaughtered by the guard for trying to kill the nearest random peasant.

Looks like all the games you’ve listed are games where you can spend hours just to grind to the next level, or are filled with mundane fetch quests to keep you busy. If you don’t want to take a break like someone else suggested, you could try to play a single player game with a definite ending. Even if it’s a short game that is only a couple of hours long, you might just need something that has a final cutscene/boss fight and then the credits roll.

Not really sure what games might interest you, but look into Turnip Boy Commits Tax Fraud for a short, 4-6 hour long fun adventure. Or TUNIC if you want something similar to a Dark Souls esque experience, without getting all sweaty and try-hard

I try to make something that looks good (or at least doesn’t look like random static) by running pictures I’ve taken through audio editing software. There are some extra steps that go into it to “trick” the program into importing the picture as if it were a sound file, making sure the header (information that tells your computer that this is a picture) doesn’t get fucked with, and then exporting the data in a way that it will be saved as a picture and not an mp3 or something else.

On the rare occasion I do bring it up, I can literally watch people’s eyes glaze over. Until I show them a picture

Edit: internet is really bad right now, will reply with an image when I can

Edit2: picture was too big at 7MB. Hopefully a screenshot of the picture doesn’t look too bad
