  I use Arch btw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe you’re vastly overstating the importance of this game and franchise. As I said, I think it’s a terrible series of games (and I’ve played them up to CS3), so there’s absolutely some bias here.

  Also, what does other people’s review have anything to do with how impactful or important something is to the medium? Does this mean that the Hentai game Mirror with ~96% positive, 85k+ reviews on Steam is even more significant than Trails?

  And if you look at modern RPGs built around serialized storytelling and grounded politics—Disco Elysium, Baldur’s Gate 3, even the way Persona 5 structures its arcs—you can see Falcom’s fingerprints everywhere.

  Please show me where those fingerprints are, because I don’t see them.

  Your only arguments for your statement in this thread are, that there are a lot of Trails games, and that the games are all connected. Comparing this to FF7 seems like a real stretch.

  If these games are so important, how about some examples of how they influenced gaming and their impact, either to devs or gamers.

  BTW I think the Trails series is garbage and has only one good game in it.

  Probably not worth it solo for $70/70€ right now. Gameplay is still supposed to be good, and while the story is supposed to be not as cringe as 3, you still get the outdated meme references and “fellow kids” stuff.

  If you got some buddies to play coop with, maybe? Chatting on Discord, making fun of the game, usually makes everything a lot better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite cutting the gags, Borderlands 4's PC specs say it still needs 100GB of SSD space⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s been a thing for a while now. Basically all the big, modern games, that are also on current gen consoles want SSDs (some are just SSD recommended on minimum specs, but required for higher specs). BG3, Cyberpunk, many of the Playstation Studios games, some Xbox studios stuff, etc.

  Hardware Unboxed recently did a video, if the drive speed matters (mainly about PCIe SSD speed) and tested with HDDs, SATA SSDs and NVME SDDs. They found that some games will give you a notice if they detect an HDD, but almost all will still run, even if the specs say an SSD is required. Most of the time, the initial load times will be loooooong with an HDD, but otherwise the games still work, although a few had graphical glitches because of slow asset streaming. Once you get to SATA SSDs, it starts to matter a lot less, and with an NVME you just want the biggest drive for your budget (like <10% difference for the initial load times, if at all, between PCIe 3.0 and 5.0).

  That’s what I was thinking myself.

  Nintendo might have still tried something, even with just the mod chips, just to try and strongarm someone into submission. However, distributing the games just seems incredibly dumb to me, and might be the main reason they were able to get this settlement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So looks like I forgot about at least one bench.

  :::spoiler spoiler First is in a house, that you need to pay to enter, with a bench and vendor inside.

  The ones I originally meant are below the Citadel, there are a few rooms, with two or three benches each, but you have to pay 15 every time to use the bench for a short time. :::

  Dunno which one of those you mean, that can be made permanently free, or if there’s even others I forgot or haven’t found myself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Worst bossrun so far was probably the judge which was only like 2 screens when you think about it.

  I think you can theoretically get the fleas to move in right before the boss room, but I don’t know how many of them you need to find for that to happen. Maybe killing the boss is also a trigger, so in that case this won’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  like benches that are locked behind a paywall, which you have to pay every time you want to access the bench

  I found this in one small area, which was probably done for the flavor, since it makes thematic sense there, but otherwise it’s always been permanent unlocks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the game is difficult, probably a bit more difficult than the first game (which I haven’t played in over 5 years, so I might be wildly off), but I don’t find it unreasonable.

  I know a lot of the time it’s my fault that I died, because I’m someone who likes to trade damage with enemies, which just isn’t really possible in this game, but I can’t stop doing it.

  As for runbacks, I think there are a few weird ones, that can be terrible, depending on if you found/unlocked the nearest bench, but otherwise I don’t remember anything truly awful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The excellent survivor-like Halls of Torment is getting a big DLC and free update⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I gotta come back to this game.

  I played this for a bit last year, while it was still in Early Access, and the vibes this game has are just fantastic. The look and music were just right for my tastes, it’s awesome. Gameplay wise, I didn’t find it immediately as addicting as Vampire Survivors, but still good, so I wanted to check back again after the 1.0 release, although I haven’t so far.

  Looking forward to the next final update.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wily FPS modders remake the original Quake from memory alone - imagine if triple-A remasters worked this way⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are similar projects for the old Doom releases, Doom: The Way We Remember It (also for Doom 2, TNT:Evilution and Plutonia), if you’re interested in these kinds of mods.
