I dunno, I don't play 18+ VNs, with the exception of Saya no Uta, cause people nagged me to play it and I didn't know it was.

Saya no Uta is dope. I didn't know it was +18 either, but it was my first VN and I loved it.

IIRC JAST sold their translation to 5pb for the releases after PC, but kept the rights to the PC version.

On the basis they sold it, can't we assume their translation was legally theirs?

 

[Hektor]

Aaaaand, finished firewatch.

So how soon is soon on that jast bundle?

I guess the contract JastUSA has with 5pb now (which in my experience with jap. companies) I guess 5pb now owns the translation...

Beat and delete yo. Satisfaction guaranteed every time.

Looking back on that, it sounds like a creepy hotline slogan.

Have you played (and more importantly, finished) Pony Island?
Not saying anything else for fear of spoiling, but... You might want to.

 

[Soulflarz]

"soon"

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Next 2 days I guess.

how long did it take you?

The thing is, the only AA option is "ON/OFF".

That is unfortunate. Since you're not Nvidia you can't try forcing other AA. Hm, honestly though, on closer look models etc don't have unusual jaggies, it's the cell-shaded lines. Don't think AA would change that much. Maybe I look pedantic but in truth I love how the game looks in motion.

Aaaaand, finished firewatch.

Man, XCOM2 and now Firewatch. One could say you burn through games

A little over an hour left on my Undertale giveaway..

[Hektor]

That was quick..

It was a bit over 3 hours. That's like half of what the dev said. But well, i'm okay with that.

Game itself was cool, altho nothing truly special imho.

The wildness and the atmosphere was top notch, especially at the very beginning when the place is completely new to you, the banter was also very entertaining but the rest, mhm, the exploring isn't really there simply because the forest just isn't very big.

You've seen pretty much all of it in the first 1 - 1.5 hours and from there on out you're mostly just going to the same places again.

The story,

Spoiler

while thrilling for the most part also ended a bit meh.

I don't regret buying or playing it, but i wouldn't wholeheartedly recommend it either.

how long did it take you?

A bit over 3 hours.

Another tl;dr on this topic:

So basically this guy Torsten gamified your workplace to dangle a paid position in front of you to get more productivity while you're trying to make a better front end to work with, and when the whole thing backfires on him he gets 2 people let go and then Valve HR basically tells you (after doing 10 years of free work) to fuck off?

It really makes me feel that Valve really is how former employees describe it, like high school with cliques and people backstabbing.

You can actually remove the contour, but the problem remains, since hairs, faces etc. still look strange:

Overwatch's new mode, new progression system (loot crates), and more revealed



As expected.

I'm fine with it, can't wait actually, now I only lack the friends to play this with.

Not good news. The fighting stick market will certainly suffer from seeing MadCatz leave the market, if that's what's going to happen.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Can someone tell me why Steam keeps redownloading ENTIRE games after copying a backup? Before, it would discover existing files then download the necessary patches but now it just redownloads the entire game.

I've searched and found a few "solutions" that didn't work at all for me.

The final bosses in Cave Story+ are total bullshit. 4 freakin bosses in a row without save and healing points between them.

Naogaf is giving me a weird glitch. Many times each session on PC the window goes all the way to the top or bottom after entering a thread. It's super annoying as it loses my spot. It can happen when I click on a page number or the new posts arrow.

 

[the_firewithin]

for those who have played some Firewatch what is the save situation like? how often does it autosave or can we manual save too?

It autosaves a lot, but it also supports manual saving.

You mean

the 4 hatched dragons on the way ot the exit?

 

[Knurek]

Misery, the two doctors and the core.

Those are manageable (took me, I dunno, 10-20 tries). Especially when compared to True Final Boss, which I simply couldn't reach most of my tries - that secret level is truly the Dark Souls of indie platformers.

[Ucchedavāda]

The intro made me fucking cry.

Damn you Jake, Chris & co! Remo's subtle soundtrack really adds a lot to it, especially in the intro, it tucked on my heartstrings.

Yeah, I can understand that.

Spoiler

I don't know if your choices (in the intro and in the dialogue) ultimately make any difference, and I'm not sure I care whether they do or not, but they do a damn good job of putting you in Henry's shoes

.

This has been one of the first games in a long while where I've been snapping off screenshots. Just the view from your lookout is amazing:

Too bad I have work tomorrow, as I'd love to finish it now, but it'll have to wait a little bit.

for those who have played some Firewatch what is the save situation like? how often does it autosave or can we manual save too?

There are frequent auto-saves, and you can save at any point as well.

 

[kagamin]

What.

huh?

launching it makes it scan for updates, or something

Apparently one of the ads causes this.

After giving up I saw someone going there and killing on the first try and got so maaad.

Others in that thread from different STS' are questioning, aren't sure this story though. So who knows.

Valve would never agree to lessen the experience of their users just for monetary gain! Now, if Nvidia offered to make hats for them, that'd be something else.

 

[Stall19]

Well my haul for the lunar steam sale ends with Grim Fandango, Mark of the Ninja and Sonic Adventures 1 & 2. Figured it's best not to buy any super long game until I start getting into that backlog. Man I've only started PC gaming for a little over 2 months and I already have over 50 games on there. Yikes.
