Still chilly confirmed
I tried jogging last night and it was interesting to say the least.

I imagine your lungs were just a burnin' breathing in that cold air
I started GoW today and got stuttering, slow camera movement and tearing. game was running at 90FPS, i have G-Sync monitor so none of those should be happening. Then i checked Windows display settings and for some reason stupid Windows reverted refrash rate to 60Hz instead of 170Hz XD I switched back to 170Hz and now everything is buttery smooth again.
I may be lttp on this but I had no idea that A Summer's End was getting a sequel??
After reading through an entire thread on Troy Baker and his NFT thing, A thought occurred to me.
A brand newscam, scheme, investment opportunity!
Are you afraid that someone will right-click-save your expensive NFT?
Better get NFT2 !
We take your NFT, and make an NFT out of the NFT! Just see them try to funge your non-fungible-non-fungible token!
So get on the train now! This will save the world as we know it! Only..... say 1000 non-fungible-non-fungible tokens available.
If they run out before you manage to buy one, keep an eye out for our next project.... NFT3... But that's a secret... SHHHHH...

Finally beat him! As pissed as I was earlier, I have to admit that this was an amazing boss fight.
I'm not sure you correctly understand how DLDSR works.
There's no "hooking into". The games render at higher resolution, just like with regular DSR, the only difference is that the AI-driven downsampling process is designed to give you a better final quality per rendered pixel than the regular DSR method.
The fact that there's no game-specific hooks limits what it can do, but it also means that it's universally applicable which is a big advantage.
Fake edit: I see that you realized this yourself in a later post -- I'm leaving it up here since it might clarify things for someone else.
Congrats! Hell of a fight. It also took me significant effort to figure out and then nail its timings. It reminds me of Ornstein & Smough with how it's this major sink or swim moment. It's also where the game's systems and combat flow finally clicked for me. I found everything after that a little easier because I started to understand what the game expected of you. It's still uphill fuckin struggle, but at least you can kind of gauge the hill from afar
Dear Sega,
Please turn to cabared side activity from yakuza into a solo game.
You can recruit girls by playing minigames like darts, snooker, golf, whatever you have lying around it's fine.
No combat unless you put in a 'bad customer' mechanic and you have to kick them out.
Thank me later.
Sincerely,
kio

I’ve been thinking this so long! A yakuza game without the combat and crime stuff, just all the social and side stuff.
i even started writing down a game design document for such a game haha!
Well, this used to be in Windows kernal code, so yeah, could be anything

; Invalidate the processor cache so that any stray gamma
; rays (I'm serious) that may have flipped cache bits
; while in S1 will be ignored.

That last phase lightning swipe can be dodged but you need to get up close to him to his left side like you about to hug him.
You have to do it fast to basically dash forward when he starts to telegraph it.
It really was tough and imo one of the best bosses FROM ever designed because up to that point you really can play Sekiro like a souls game and then they let you know you not doing that shit anymore.
People say Bloodborne made their combat faster and more offense oriented....and then Sekiro basically ramped that up 10 folds lol.
Oh hell yeah.
This video is amazing. I gasped at 5:00.
Dude is a great analyst with a great sense of humor. (Plus cats!)
I have to admit that I found Thief 1 and 2 very dated when I played them. And in addition it felt very convoluted in some of its later maps designs

Can't understand having nu-Deus Exs so high, they're so streamlined and simplistic in every way and barely feel like immersive sims with simplistic mission map design that doesn't really have many systemic/AI interactions of the kind seen in the Looking Glass & Spector games and thankfully the upcoming Gloomwood.
Agree with most of the OK stuff though, but that's mostly due to their age, they were doing crazy shit before the tech barely allowed for it and they're cool for it even if I'd never play something with Underworld's current interface and keep hoping for a modern version of it, though the game underneath still has issues.
Equally baffling to see Thief 2 high and 1 low, they're basically the same game, even if Thief (Gold in particular) has a few less than great levels, overall stellar.

Yeah, this fight really forces you to play aggressive and use parrying at every occasion you can. If you start playing this like a Souls battle (dodging/waiting for the perfect opportunity), it becomes crazy hard. But when you figure it out, man the flow of that battle is incredible. It feels almost like a dance.
I'd be curious to go back to DS or Bloodborne after finishing Sekiro and see how differently I would fight. Because yeah I agree that Bloodborne really forced you to be more aggressive but it's nothing compared to this.
100% agree. Never understood the love the most recent Deus Ex received, especially concidering the legacy tied to the name those games carry.
It's been a long time, too long even, but doesn't T1 have somewhat mandatory combat sequences against monsters or am I misremembering? That might explain it. Other than that I always thought T2 outshined T1 in every single way.
I think shelving it as being better in one's memory is pretty apt but it doesn't get all the way there.I have to admit that I found Thief 1 and 2 very dated when I played them. And in addition it felt very convoluted in some of its later maps designs
At release Thief felt like a gameplay revolution on the scale of Mario 64. It completely recontextualized what you could do in a 3D space.
That's not to contest it's must-play material for the modern gamer. I can see the roadblocks.
Heck the series even has a redemption ark with T2.
The Dark Mod freeware is what you should be playing today anyway to meet all your Thieving needs.
Fans are in! Got some Noctua redux things, at the highest RPM of 1700. All the nice new fans are the exhaust while the older ones that came with my cases are the intake, so it leans a bit towards negative pressure.
Resi8 looks kinda ridiculously good for how well it runs. Really love it so far - it's so so different from 7 but it nails the direction it's taking.
Most of the monsters you can avoid/stealth around still, some of the humanoid ones can even be knocked out like humans, the few that don't imo do a nice job of shaking up the formula, like fire elementals that are lethal but your water arrows make short work of them or the zombies you can just run past if they aren't blocking the way to somewhere you need to go but the level also provides pretty effective tools against them with sanctifying your water arrows etc., the levels that were bad had bad level design rather than bad enemies imo. Yeah Thief 2 is better, but still. It was a pioneering game anyway so hard to fault it for doing things one might not expect from a pure stealth game, there weren't really expectations back then, it set them after all (and 2 doubled down on the best stuff).

right tried to start my replay of yakuza 0 but looks like i'm not in the mood, oh well time to find something else
Few hours into new Supraland and it's feeling like the right time.
Presentation has seen an appreciable jump and the whole vibe has this physics-sandboxyy Talos Principle-lite feel.
Soundtrack makes exploration feel more immersive than my memory of the original World is fun to traverse.
See lots of opportunities in-world for the Post Credit content the store page touts.
Big thumbs up..

I didn't like Deus Ex Human Revolution much either, in both gameplay and map design perspective, sometimes the map makes no sense at all. The game plays bad with bad shooting, it checks all the boxes of what makes it an "immersive sim" but didn't excel at any of them. I remember trying to follow a sign and not use an ingame map in the city and the dumb sign leads to no where but a fence that blocks your way, they literally just put that shit there for show lol.
I enjoy Arkane games much more, only dilemma with their games is that upgrades are often tied to exploration, on paper that's a good thing since it encourages you to explore, but kind of breaks the whole "Try getting through this level in a different route" perspective, because you're not going to skip over areas in risk of missing an upgrade.

I have two external HDD's hooked up to my desktop 24/7. Now i am looking at them nervously. Especially since the older of the two has started to disconnect and reconnect from time to time. (Maybe 2-3 times a week.)
Guys, you won't believe this. But I think God of War
is a good game
I enjoyed Human Revolution a whole lot. Easily my second favorite Deus Ex. And really it was amazing because when it was first announced and being shown people thought it would be the son of a bitch of the earth. It seemed as cynical then as NFT SHIT is today.
But it's in a very different tier than the likes of the original, or Thief 1.

Oh damn, you're awesome! I knew there were ways to force higher resolutions, but that required loading in cheat engine every time you start the game.

New fans have absolutely helped with the thermal situation. Before my CPU was getting up to 74 C, now it's consistently staying below 60.
I wanna get to one of the open areas in Metro Exodus PCEE to see how it performs, since it seems to run at a very playable 80-100 FPS on my system in the opening areas. But it keeps freaking crashing, every time I launch it crashes in about 5-10 minutes. I don't even want to play it yet, I want to go through all the earlier games first, but I neeeeeeds to know how well my GPU handles it.
EDIT: Looking in the files, I find a separate benchmark program! Awesome.

You can be like me and buy Monster Hunter Rise and God of War, then think you should just take a quick peek at the Project Zomboid update and suddenly you have played 4 hours and have barely played anything else.
Project Zomboid is just so good. It has become the ultimate zombie survivor game and continues to get better and better I am just amazed at how deep the simulation is at this point. While I am playing it, I cannot think of anything I cannot do or experience. It feels so true to what you would expect during a zombie outbreak.

How much yen as I live in Asia and refuse to spend more then the states for a game. No way should a game here be more expensive here, due to buying power and such, then if I use my card in the states to buy a copy. Capcom had been raising their regional pricing here, I first noticed it with MHS2.

Definitely cheaper than on steam here. Almost down to Elden Ring level.

THIS is the game I was just wondering about (The original not this sequel). Just added it to my wishlist.
Welp one of my Twitter replies went viral yesterday XD Notifications won't stop coming XD

Totally agree with Prey being up the top of the list, that game was great fun.
I think the problem with Deus Ex for me is that the more modern ones can never recapture the feel and sense of new wonder that the old ones did and so they wont ever be held up as high. I personally really liked HR and MD (only actually played about 5 hrs of MD, keep meaning to go back to it). I will admit though that games getting dumbed down a bit doesn't really bother me, I still found them to have enough variation on tasks etc.
Please also share them here too

Liking Rise so far. Maps are very vertical & full of paths with great vistas & stuff but still quick to get around with loads of shortcuts, natural or with placing giant wirebugs in specific spots that launch you large distances, fast travel to camp/sub camps returns too. There's dynamic time of day in the untimed expeditions which is neat. It sucks there's only dangos to eat but you still get to customize the bonuses, oh well. I hope there are more standard looking armors for all tiers though, not all fantasy ninja. Gameplay wise I can't quite get the hang of the wirebug moves yet, but the basics work good as ever, it has its own twists to the helpers in and out of combat with sending them to missions for items and what not, the Village is small and to the point (yet still has fast travel points to just anywhere you need) and it returns to the old solo story progression that likely ends before getting past Low Rank with separate meant for multiplayer hub missions that you can still solo and probably go to High Rank (and I guess with Sunbreak eventually G rank as usual). I'm starting to get into it.
Yeah, you can reach the bridge high up in the first shot below. Yeah, you could be at the top of the (different) waterfalls in the next two screenshots. Yeah, you can reach the structures at the cliff side in the next one. And much more. That's the first introductory map at that, going by the second they get more involved.
I don't get the trashing its graphics get vs World. Stuff like foliage are toned way down and you can see the polygonal edges of the terrain but it's still pretty close, textures are mostly sharp (not that World's were perfect) and the map design makes up for it. World would have needed some reductions if it was their first RE Engine Monster Hunter and they tried to have the wirebug stuff which give you crazy views of huge sections from anywhere coupled with the vertical design allowing you to get to tops and peaks overlooking damn near everything below. It's much less demanding too, I couldn't quite achieve 60fps in World but this goes to 90+ maxed with 150% ss with ease. I only have minor graphical complaints of things that aren't optional, like the angular baldie heads in close ups (maybe I'll just put some hair on), the texture of the pitfall traps, the half-rate animation of stuff in the distance and there's a weird lod thing like a faded shadow lifting around you as you approach areas, but it's not too noticable if you aren't looking for it and World had its share of weirdness with its dithering.
