Pre-ordered Tales of Arise on steam :blobcheer:

It has been years since my last preorder for games. Don't fail me, Bamco.
I played through Berseria, my first tales game, a couple of months ago. The story and gamepaly both were really good. Arise is looking good so I'll probably get it not too long after release maybe.

I did not even have to use to a support bracket for my MSI 3070. It's heavy but it does not sag to any dangerous degree.

RTX 3090s are heavy beasts and support brackets or stands are a thing for a while but not something joe bloggs like us have had to consider... until now.
It sounds insane but yeah, most of these high-performance video cards have huge lumps of metal to help cool them. It's possible that it's just the mobo that's dead but given how fragile and sensitive these RTX cards are i wouldn't be surprised if both card and mobo are dead.

I'm in the same boat of not wanting to pay for subscriptions, but I've been getting Gamepass free through just using Bing's reward points thing for the past full year. I'm gonna have it all the way until Feb next year, and I still am just getting sub time faster than it takes for it to expire.

Oh dear god. Is the screw you put in the case not enough to support it?
...Welp, I know what to get whenever I get my 3080. Don't care if that might not be heavy enough, I'm not risking it.

Here are the hero abilities/music selections for Rider 1 and Wing Gundam and Black


:birbwiggle:
I have no idea why they decided to make a Compati Hero blobber, but to those people...thank you. Two of my favorite things combined. :frogheart:

I have a stupid grin on my face half the time while playing this. The biggest surprise, is the game is legitimately good :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Four pages already? :mion_peek:


Thanks lashman for your hard work as always~ :flare_mogu:

Hopefully, I will be able to finish Azure this month. I didn't detect any signs of burnout yet (even though the in-game clock is approaching 200 hours --bless turbo mode--) so I will be continuing with Cold Steel III immediately after.

Almost Humble Choice Day. Lets throw out some guesses:

Yakuza 4 Remastered
GreedFall or Plague Tale (I hope Humble goes with GF, since PT is going to be free on EGS)
Ring of Pain or Carto
Neo Cab (It's been bundled before, but I'd like it)
Monster Sanctuary?

I don't think Yakuza 4 will be this month. I suppose they will space the episodes out more.
Just my 2 cents, I have no idea about their offering.

Yesterday I mentioned wanting Dragon Quest Pixel Remasters but I just realized they pretty much already exist. They've just been mobile-only for the longest time. I've even had the first one on my phone for a while lol. I also completely forgot that DQ1-3 got ported to Switch a couple of years back. It looks like they're also on PS4 in Japan but only the Switch version made it over here. I guess Nintendo might've paid for exclusivity...

But yeah, you know what could help Dragon Quest gaining a foothold in the West, S-E? Actually fucking releasing them on most platforms. I mean, shit, I actually care and even I forgot these versions existed. And to think a few years ago I was actually optimistic that they would eventually release them on Steam... :confused-face:

Switch version HD sprites are trash though.

They look weird as fuck, yeah. But I love Toriyama's art style and they recreate it pretty faithfully so I kinda like them. I'd gladly take those versions if the alternative is just not getting the games at all. At least they're not egregiously bad like the old FFV-VI remakes where I simply couldn't bear to look at them lol.

Not only that but the actual monster portraits have this weird illustrated look.

Okay wow, yeah this fucking sucks lol. The screenshots I looked at only showed a slime and the effect wasn't as noticeable on a cute little blue blob.

oh man, I checked the steam download folder setting and had a big question what "Kostenlos" ("free of charge") in that context means. Free to play titles?
...
...
...

They fucking mean "Frei" ("free") as in the available space on the drive!
congrats to the german translation team then :face-savouring-delicious-food:
I had never actively looked at Humankind before, and it actually looks very neat (but also like it will eat tons of time).
yup this genre is pretty damn addictive . Their Endless games were pretty good and clear improvement from game to game. Great to finally see Amplitude Studios take on Firaxis with clearly historical game.

Maybe it's too soon for Y4 since we just got Y3 but it's possible. I'm sure we'll get them all eventually till the end of 2022.
Plague Tale has been a recurrent guess for the better part of a year now but maybe it'll only happen closer to the sequel release date.
Banner Saga 3 is also something that should eventually show up. The first 2 games were featured in monthlies in the past.

My random guesses are Katana Zero, Below, Inmost and Othercide.

We talking Dragon quest in here? Yay!
Time to post the beautiful screenshots of the Switch version:

Yum-yum, the game world tearing at the seems, the lovely character sprites that wouldn't be out of place in the mobile Final Fantasies (look at the fucking horse!), and of course, the font is shit but that's just the SE touch.

And of course, my pet peeve with the franchise: only the SNES version of DQ3 has animated sprites. Because animations are hard.

I also think it's too early for Yakuza 4, but I'm sure it will come eventually.
Greedfall and Plague Tale are also games I've been exepecting for a while, so maybe now is the time.
Really no idea what a headliner could be. Maybe Resident Evil 7 finally?
Outer Wilds?

And in terms of smallerish indies I have even less of an idea. :grimacing-face:
