I think avoiding words like "low" might help. "Normal", "Better", "Even Bettter" instead of "Low", "Normal" "Ultra" might make things a lot easier psychologically for people.It's always strange when (some, obviously not all) people play console versions and switch to performance mode (or whatever it is called in a given game) and then are perfectly happy with their smooth experience... at 1080p with medium settings (as an example). Of course there's nothing wrong with that! But if you suggest that they could lower the settings to that same thing on PC and get the same or even better performance that's a no-go.
It seems like there's this strange psychological hangup here where it's fine for the developer to lower settings for you, but if you do it yourself that's somehow painful.
That said I think I'll be fine on my 12900k / 3090 without lowering them too much

WHAT THE FUCK
I REMEMBER THEM WHEN I TRIED TO PIRATE SCRIBBLENAUTS UNLIMITED WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND SAW PEWDIEPIE PLAY IT
HOLY FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I don't think I've ever been more hyped for a game in my entire life. At least, I can't think of a moment like this.
When the Deck pre-orders went live I couldn't risk grabbing one due to not knowing what my financial situation would be in November/December. Well it turns out it would have been great in February. Threw down a pre-order last week instead. So I may get one sometime next year...
VI is out. Since they're all using the same engine, diagonal movement/scrolling is still bugged.

Release v0.35-beta-ff5-ff6 · noskill-io/ffpr-tool
This is an initial release for FF5PR. The speed values appear to work differently, but it may also be environmental on my end. This is a first attempt. Note: this appears to work for FF6 as well, t...

That said I have no Idea when I'll get around playing VI.
"Turbo" mode helps me a lot in finishing I - III. The combination of the fps unlocker mod plus Memoria (which gives you a toggle for game speed increase) makes mob fights goes in an instant.

Looks like CDKeys came through got my key for Elden Ring and I'm currently preloading.
My all-time pre-release hype began and died with Pac-Man (2600).
Not even joking.
As I always say, at least I got it out of my system early.
Opening of FFVI is bringing so many memories back.
Praying I get that Steam Deck email on Friday lol
Valve will probably send out emails in weekly batches so make sure you set up your notifications/alerts through your email/phone so you don't miss a message. I have a feeling a lot of people might not respond in the 72hr time as most don't check their emails often enough these days. I imagine many don't use steam emails as their personal important email too.
So so very tempted to buy the collection. Might be cool on the Deck as well, not that I've bothered checking if they are playable.
It's a From Software game. It will rather beat the shit out of you
Quick test for an asshole:
1. I hope I can get on Musk's billionaire exclusive flight to Mars next year.
2. I hope my alder lake and rtx 3090 can run elden ring.
If you tick at least one of those, there is a high chance you are an asshole.

Me reading about how everyone already got their Elden Ring keys while I still don't know if mine will even arrive this week

Steam :: Steamworks Development :: Announcing Steam JRPG Sale 2022
Enter your discounts now for March 14-21
I'm hoping for a new historical low for Scarlet Nexus and MonHun Rise in the JRPG sale. 
Elden Ring ready!
Now to see if I play it with my current Resident Evil hyperfixation. Also if my CPU (and mostly my shit motherboard kneecapping my CPU) can handle it.

I fell for the hype too. Hopefully my 1080ti does okayish at 1440p/60fps?
Edit: Does pre-loading on Steam still take forever for the game to de-encrypt on launch?
At 255Mbps, is it quicker to DL from scratch or better to preload?
Got my Elden Ring key this morning too.
The game has been getting great reviews but I worry about the PC port. I guess we'll see how it goes.
I live in Cali so...

And hopefully Nvidia drops a new set of drivers. As I recall, many were suffering stutters with the Valentines game-ready drivers. (Which included Day-0 ER fixes...)
2017: Horizon 1 released a few days before Breath of the Wild
2022: Horizon 2 released a few days before Elden Ring

I'm not sure how but I will try to get 1440p @60fps out of my 1070ti somehow.
Russia's invasion started. Hopefully Ukraine can resist this.
I hope it's over soon with the least casualties possible.
No idea what the outcome may be but in the end common people like us always suffer. After2014'sneo nazi coup that brought down the elected Ukrainian government just to further western/NATO interests at the Russian borders, the whole world should have worked towards an independent Donbas and other Russian speaking territories under the condition they don't join Russia rather than pretend fascists have anything in common with western/EU values (maybe Orban's values) and deserve our support and hand Putin this handy excuse of a marginalized Ukranian Russian speaking peoples under constant threat and embargo from their own so called compatriots and Russia's financial aid the past 8 years being the one thing keeping them from becoming, like Palestinians, hostages in their own cities. I can't believe there were no real efforts for de-escalation, rather seemingly the opposite with how things went down, as if failed US/EU/UK politicians hoped for a war that would unite people against an external threat under their own leadership and banners and justify already derailed economic/energy crises to stop their downhill trajectory after severe failures in each and every field. Fuck wars, this one and all the other ongoing conflicts that have murdered and displaced thousands of people around the world all because some people are greedy and play power games on our backs and we allow it.
It was all a ruse, nothing has changed for mankind the past few centuries, greedy savages as ever.

I have about 30 hours into cyberpunk now and I feel that's enough to make a judgement on the core of the game after 1.5 came out. A lot was said how they really needed about 2 more years to have the game ready to ship but honestly I don't think much would have changed if that happened. This is still just an ok game at best, just nowhere near as buggy or poorly running as it was. But the game still has so many structural flaws that stop it from living up to the insane hype it had, like a world that's one of the flattest and static worlds I can remember. There's really not much to do in the game other than drive from mission icon to mission icon and, to be fair, the missions are pretty good and salvage the game from being complete shit.
For a sequel I'd like them to stick with night city even though that will probably be seen as a controversial or "lazy" choice by a lot of people. But to me there is so much room to make the city feel fresh despite reusing its streets and buildings. Focus most of the effort on making the city feel more alive, add more things to do on the side, add more friendly NPC hangout missions (do NOT do what GTA IV did), add more interiors to explore. The bulk of the effort for the sequel should go all into these types of things and maintaining the mission quality the first game had. Also give the NPCs some physics because in this game I run into them and my car goes through them and they just fold over like someone's first Unity engine project.

Current world order needs war because dealing with internal sh*t costs politicians more in popularity. And picking and choosing what is right and what is wrong depending on big powers interest will never end up well. For example when Kosovo declared independence 13 years ago it was immediately recognized by Western countries and we saw 0 talk about preserving borders of Serbia and respecting international law. Why? Because Kosovo has one of the biggest US base in Europe there, because country is poor and politicians very corrupt but full of natural resources that can be exploited. And for 13 years negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo offered excuses for many highly paid jobs for diplomata while moving nowhere and ignoring all things that Kosovo didn't do that was negotiated between countries.
So when you open Pandora box like that of course that other big power will use that and do the same. I have no doubt that Russia had a lot to do with populating Donbas area with their people for years and then pushing them to declare independence, just like US and west did with Albania and Kosovo. And West was just poking the bear since then instead working to make things right because west doesn't care about Ukraine they care about their self interest and that is again natural resources and possibly to have military close to Russia.
Add to that whole another level of corrupt media, false reportings and stupid people and you get what we are getting every few years around the world.
Russia: We are invading Ukraine

I thought that is something more spicy like Crash 4
For some reason I just bought Elden Ring. Fextralife's review convinced me... but I'm pretty sure that I will be terrible at it and never finish it!
This will be my first From game.

Well, it is likely, I guess MS will want to put SP content on Steam to maximize the benefits so I kind of expect Crash 4 and Tony Hawk to come, some others too perhaps.
Eh even if they decide to do that it won't come before 2024. If everything goes according to plan they will take over ABK in 2023 and it will take at least a year before they do something. I just hope that if they decide to do something they will remove stupid always online sh*t from both Crash 4 and THPS 1+2

Well, maybe some of the smaller stuff will come sooner to give Bobby a few more bucks.
