the answer was scorpions even though it was really ELO I formatted correctly but it was a re-used key from another trivia raffle so it must have kept that answer?

lol

Ah, yeah, that's what happened. The MB code is identical, so the old answer carried over.

thanks Ozium

I would have made a trivia giveaway by now if Steam didn't decide to region lock everything.

NB tip: The 60fps option could possibly be bugged. I know it was for me. It caused many issues, including some that made it nearly impossible to wall run. Just remember that if you run into any control issues.

Thanks for the tip.
JaseC said:
It seems there was an issue with Ozium's giveaway. ELO was the answer after all (from what Ozium has told me it seems ModBot pulled the "answer" out of thin air) and TheAutomator was the first person to correctly-but-technically-incorrectly guess the answer.

Edit:

Finally ModBot turned sentient and the highest form of intelligence to boot! Jokes and mockery.

I for one welcome our new artificial overlord.

I have been playing BLOPS3 multiplayer with a controller on PC as I dont have a desk yet and I feel like it puts me at such a disadvantage. I still get 2nd place on my team usually so I guess some people just suck.

guys I finished Final Fantasy 7 on PS4. All JRPGs should have a 3x speed boost mapped to a button
Click to expand...

no, or else you run into the issue of trivializing the entire game like FF7

FF7 is trivialized when grinding takes no time at all at 3x speed and you can effectively mindlessly grind to clear the game.

Basically the faster you speed up a fixed speed battle system the more likely you are to make no one care about the battle system. See: everyone breaking bravely default and level grinding mindlessly at 4x speed.

look at any stream of people playing it or anyone retelling their souls stories, you'll find hundreds of stories of ppl shaking after finishing a boss, heart racing, being so close to ragequitting, throwing controllers and all kinds of fun shit that comes from how stressful these games are
Click to expand...

Er, this is an exaggeration, of my 5 real life friends who have played souls, only one finds it stressful, two find it challenging, and two find it "okay difficulty" and moreso a thought puzzle.

Lots of people who play games a lot do not shake/ragequit/throw controllers. :x

Does that speed up the entire game (Soundtrack etc.) or only the animations?

Animations (it was the first thing I asked him, if it ruined the OST lol)

Soundtrack stays the same while everything else is speed up. The in game clock still isn't effected by the 3x speed either

That's kind of what I'm getting at- you break a large amount of JRPGs if you suddenly can fight mildly underleveled enemies and roadkill them in a flash to gain tons of levels. It's why they don't let you speed up the entire game normally.

I was literally half asleep on my bed just pressing the x button over and over without even looking at the screen

x?
D-did they
I...is X confirm now? O.O

(and I don't mean for FF7. Meant that it's bad to apply 3x speed to every jrpg, you'd break SMT instantly)

Steam really needs to enable the option to have the steam framerate counter be active during big picture mode. I play a lot of games on my 4K TV and the steam controller is a great option for that but it's bad for tweaking because you can't have the framerate counter work during forced bpm. So you have to alt tab out and use fraps or riva or whatever.

Dead Space 2 holds up really well at 4K.
