WTH, it turned into a Zelda vs. Horizon thread? GAF is weird sometimes
2 amazing games too, but of course the internet works under the Highlander Rule.

Hey, wait a minute! YOU were the one that won the Might & Magic X key! Take that, I'm adding you as a friend on Steam! ^_^

Is the full version of Slime Rancher better optimized than the demo? It's a lot of fun, but even on my far-from-bleeding-edge gaming laptop (GTX 860M 2GB), it shouldn't be this hard to get a game that looks like this to hit 60fps.
That's... not surprising :|Umbrella Corps

its the impression I got from what he said from knowing him, and from his reply, I was right.
or were you supposed to quote me trashing Xanadu and fucked up? Because if so, I havent played Xanadu, its just way too easy to trigger this place with some games. That being one of them
edit: tried the Slime Rancher demo, it's cute AF but I was already bored 15mins in :/ I guess farming games just arent for me (I also got bored of Stardew very fast)
Was a joke.
Yeah its a fun relaxing game you can play at times. I recommend it. They did add a new mode that adds challenges.
I love SDV but I can only handle so much of it either and I still recommend it.

Ha, never had it recommended to me! I consider myself lucky.
If a Dino Crisis reboot ever exists Jaw will be recommending it to every single user and alt account on Steam.
what if you had a nickel for how many people mention it?
Yes, let's mention Ace Attorney instead and get wbacon to convince Capcom to port the series to PC.

I was considering Lionel Mandraking the shit out of Games&Girls for you, GAF.
So I watched a Let's Play.
Holy shit. It's so horrible that I can't bring myself to watch it again to do commentary. Even funny commentary.
It is literally if the "I Am A Gamer" guy made a dating sim.

The dude was probably upset there was no Nep-Nep dating sim and decided to make his own.
Speaking of dating sims, I just got started on that Scheherezade one you raffled off. It actually seems pretty complicated with lots of stats, more like Long Live the Queen than a run of the mill choose your own adventure. But so far I like the protagonist, I like the art deco and jazzy trumpets, and the plot is wordy but it's a visual novel so what do you expect? I'll post full impressions once I get an ending.

Tekken 7 tempts me every day, but I know it'd just end up in the backlog so I'm simply waiting for a good price on both the game & the DLC. Especially if I can convince some friends (who don't play fighters) to get it as well.
The heat got so bad the fan on my GPU died, and I was forced to use my backup of a GTX 650. I'm now enjoying finding out what modern games that shouldn't work, that actually do.
DOOM looks awful and I have to mess with the FPS with VSynch, but it's playable.

Scrooge didn't make his fortune buying whatever he wanted.
No. Not at all. It absolutely maintains the spirit of the previous games, and while it's maybe not quite the best game in the series, it's absolutely a worthy entry in it.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Once about 20 years ago I bought a PC at auction that was "damaged beyond all repair in a flood". This was a huge Gateway PC back when people thought those giant 4 foot tall towers were cool. The lower 3/4 of the whole thing (so about 3 feet of it at the bottom) was completely covered in sludge like it had been dropped in a river. I got it for super-duper cheap (I think around $10) with the intention of just using the case and scraping the rest.
I spent five or six hours cleaning up and getting all of the sludge off and thought to myself "I wonder if this is really as bad as it looks or if it could be salvaged?". I did some basic troubleshooting before replacing the memory module with a new one and it booted right up! The power supply must have been off when the flood hit, and obviously it had "dried out" for a week or more before I even got it.
I used it for 4 years until I passed it on to a friend of mine that needed a PC.
Bottom line: some PC components are tougher than you think they should be.

So I've been playing more Unexplored, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that it got a graphical overhaul recently. Compare these two Heroes and you'll notice something shocking:
That's right, the Hero now has an eyebrow. Unprecedented; I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it for myself.
I've been trying to do a cloak-only run for an achievement/unlock, but it's tough. I got really close and achieved the goal once... in the wrong mode (so it didn't count) which, uh, was entirely my fault but still sucked. I will complete it eventually!

...Wow. Here I am thinking that if I touch computer parts wrong it will be damaged beyond repair. Like, "oh god my finger slipped and now the computer's probably borked" levels of reflexive fear.
One day I'll get used to working with computer hardware... I hope.
(Also thanks for uncapitalising shaka brah in the title!)
Managed to get in an hour and some of Cold Steel yesterday. I already feel right at home.
The music.
The IQ.
The performance.
The NPCs in town.
The music.
So good.
The dub is fantastic btw. I've watched an undub of the beginning on Youtube to compare, and there's like only one of the japanese voices I think I prefer over the dub equivalent so far (Alisa). On the other hand, I also now there's Koyasu later on....
But dubbed Sara alone is amazing and the additional voiced lines were already noticeable in the beginning, so I guess I'll stick with the dub.
Gonna restart on hard though, as I've heard normal is a cake-walk and hard is basically TitS on normal. It'll probably take me only a quarter of an hour to get back to where I was anyway ¯\_(ツ_/¯

_/¯I once had heating issues on my computer and had to have the side open, and I had to move something in the case, can't remember what but I had the computer on and I used a screwdriver, I tried to carefully do it but I slipped and slid the screwdriver across my GPU and heard a huge pang and yeah it totally fried... Funny thing though, I tried to play dumb and get it exchanged at the store but they no longer had the same model so after waiting a few weeks I got the next version of card instead.

Alright, I'm sold! A jrpg with an actual good story, characters and no grind? I cannot resist it.
I'm going to buy it during next sales or any bundle that has it. Will start with Sky like you recommended.
Thank you for the recommendation and explanation! Minus fire emblem, I haven't played a jrpg for years! I'm excited.

Since you know a bit about computer "cleaning", is there something I should regularly do to remove dust in my computer case? Sometimes, I read people do this kind of stuff, but I never do, and I'm worried it would ultimately lead to a component heating too much due to the dust.
Madventure
Member
I know you didn't ask me but you can go to any hardware store/office supply/target/amazon and get some compressed air dusters and just go to town with it as long as you hold the fans in place so they don't spin freely while doing it
That's basically what I do at least every couple of months

I was browsing my discovery queue, and about to skip a game which looked like a mobile port, when suddenly...
Thanks. Do you use a compressed air duster only for the fans? Or do you use it for everything in the computer case, and mention holding the fans in place because it is necessary to effectively clean this component?

Glad to hear it! It's honestly my favorite JRPG series - the writing and especially worldbuilding are virtually unparalleled, not to mention the excellent music. Be sure you do side quests and talk to NPCs, too - it's well worth it.
