ShortFuse,

I will start calling my JSON Web Tokens impregnated goblins.

ShortFuse,

Worse: From a random citizen that was tried in a court of law and found guilty. The governor used his powers to claim absolution (or worser still: justification).

ShortFuse,

I have a PS5. Got FF7:R the minute it came out. Now I’m in a position where I want to play Rebirth so much I want to experience it on my best device, my PC.

It’s an Nvidia chip, so Switch Super.

Who am I kidding, if they followed Nvidia it’d be Switch AI.

ShortFuse,

While I disagree that the game was unplayable, I first played the game emulated at 4K@60K with AutoHDR (surprisingly decent) and it’s almost criminal how poor it looks on native hardware by comparison. The game scales really well.

Maybe with a new Nvidia kit we’ll get DLSS and Frame Gen. And I expect ToTK to get a new port.

ShortFuse,

Haven’t felt better.

Poor choice of words?

ShortFuse,

I had it about 10 years ago in Japan. It wasn’t that bad and basically a yogurt morir soñando like in the Dominican Republic.

Pocari Sweat was worse. It tasted like its name.

ShortFuse,

Here you go everyone: youtu.be/ICXltEUJ41U?si=gZnpuN8A85UKyjyC

Exactly what you didn’t know you were looking but, in the back of your mind, you really were.

I’m mostly enjoying it, but that’s after I spent a lot of hours modding the game to look great. I don’t mean installing mods I mean modding. (I’m on the Luma mod team). That means fixing the horrible compressed range that is terrible for OLED. Completely replacing the Hable tone mapper after multiple attempts allowing contrast to get properly ramped up. Finally properly fixing the ridiculous fog in shadows from the color grading. Last, I replaced the film grain when theirs just raises blacks and is more digital camera noise than film-like. That only took 3 months. I’ve enjoyed the technical challenge from doing it, but if this were a game that couldn’t be modded, I wouldn’t have given it a week.

I also just realized the best part of the game are the story missions. Not the side quests, not the activities or exploration.

The worst part of the game is it’s both all fast-travel: where you have to jump from planet to planet in a fetch quest; and it’s no fast travel where the game expects you to run on foot 2000km to complete a survey.

The story and characters have charm and personality and that’s time better spent. I think there’s some good elements there, but overall I don’t recommend the game. It’s a solid 7/10 game, but completely hit-or-miss if you connect with it.

ShortFuse,

I was punished for exploring. I ended up finding something that is not useful until the scripted event allows you to make it relevant. It’s the opposite of Skyrim where you can explore so much you can end up in Blackreach.

With Starfield you should stick to the script and never explore on your own. Only explore planets the main storylines have asked you to visit and never before.

ShortFuse,

If you believe multiplication goes before division then 1. 8 / (2 * 4)

If you believe multiplication and division are of equal importance 16. 8 / 2 * 4

SQL, Google, and I believe C++ and HLSL would say the latter: (16)

ShortFuse,

Champions of Norrath has ruined every single isometric RPG for me.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is meh to me. I acknowledge it’s technical, narrative, and gameplay achievements. I can’t get into it.

My backstory was the game is good and gameplay is immediately in your control. No rolling of dice, no pauses between moves. Just loot, aim, and kill. Hack/slash at its finest.
