My heart. It hurts but it feels good at the same time.
Looks good.
I want bacon and eggs. Someone please bring me bacon and eggs.
I'm vegetarian...what do I get?
Facon (fake bacon) and eggs?

As bacon can be made without pig meat/pork...that is one egg 'dish' I'd love to try even though I don't like eggs lol.
Umm do you like soup?
^I think that's a hash brown

This was mentioned earlier, but it just popped into my head and I couldn't quite recall the details. Cheers.

I wish veg food was generally this good...most days I just make some rice, maybe a lentils dish, maybe some salad-cum-curry dish and eat that. Breakfast is almost always just a sandwich or cereal.

Seems like FXAA is the best AA solution for the witcher 2. It took my eyes a while to get used to the softness of the image but i'll take it over the messy jaggies everywhere without it on. I also disabled the sharpening filter because it's pretty annoying and doesn't really help matters.
And now for the congratulations to CD Project Red, who made a much better game with W2 compared to the tedious, slow paced, and mechanically simple W1. I was really dreading starting W2 because the first witcher game was just such a frustrating bore that I couldn't help but feel adverse to the notion of playing W2.
However, this game is legit great. The story has moves briskly compared to the first, the game's battle system now has a better dodge mechanic and a parrying system that is enjoyable with both adding some depth to the shallow clickclickclick conflicts of the first game, and starting with a handful of magic abilities leaves you with a lot of options right from the beginning.
The game just started opening up in chapter 2, with what appears to be the first real town in the game. I'm still somewhat concerned that this game will be filled to the waist with too much backtracking, an issue that plagued the first game, but so far so good. I finally gained access to a notice board so I have a handful of quests to explore.
Speaking of quests, I like that the journal is constantly updated as quests move along and the general conceit that it's being filled in by another character adds, well, it adds some character to the journal entries that make them more enjoyable than just the standard in-game wiki style of entries that most RPGs use.
So, the tldr version of my initial W2 impressions: it's damn good. It's always a good sign when you have trouble putting a game down before work and all you really did was get rid of some rusty swords, grab your medallion so you could see if there are any herbs about, and make some Falka's Blood for your blade. If this keeps up, I think i'll be preordering W3 very very soon

I've been following a vegetarian diet for some years now and I've found out about some really tasty stuff, such as seitan and tempeh so I'm not complaining too much, only thing you have to spend some time researching recipes on the web or books.
As for breakfast, cereals are quite good for all I know, and you may also drink some soy/rice milk if you feel like it.
Personally, I'd just ditch FXAA for SMAA. They're largely the same in terms of anti-aliasing efficiency, however the latter imposes no discernible texture blur.

Are there only Russian guides showing in Valiant Hearts because I technically have a Russian version or are the Russians the only people posting guides for the game?

no. It tastes like fake-on.
The latter. Guides are app-based and there's only one app for VH.
Didn't really need a guide for this game. The puzzles were relatively simple, for the most part. For the couple times I got stuck for a few seconds, the "carrier pigeon" hint system was enough to get me moving again.

Dunno, don't care, so long as its meat that ain't pork, it tastes gewd~

Believe the 2nd one. I don't have the game and only see one non-Russian guide published.

I still haven't fully grasped what all of the AA's in a game refer to.
usually just throw that shit somewhere in the middle and call it a day.

I never stated I was going to use them. I just noticed an absurd amount of Russian in my overlay and investigated. The puzzles are easy.

I tried using SMAA but it didn't work for whatever reason. FXAA did, though, and I'll take a small bit of softness over how terrible it looks without it. Sucks, but it's better than nothing.
Apparently Firefall is coming to Steam at the end of the month. If the name sounds familiar, it's probably because you've read this article on the game's troubled existence, which basically means that the upcoming Steam release is a last-ditch effort to squeeze some money out of it.

hide your water-based mammals
arma 3 is great you guys
between this and divinity I don't even need my backlog, fuck the police
Arma 3 is great. Breaking Point and other mods are amazing. Altis Life and a host of other things truly are awesome.

No way, that's what espanol means????
welp
you win again Russia, you win again
this russian trading shit is the biggest con ever, got us pre ordering games we never would otherwise >_<
How many keys is Shadow of Morder going for?
Strange, it's worked in every game I've attempted to use it in.... mind you, I haven't tried The Witcher 2.
The first one maybe, the others seem complicated. I tend to avoid dishes that need things added after being cooked.
My menu on NG+ is mostly Beer + Coffee + Chicken Breast + Steak + Fish

Is there any hype for this game? The initial reveal seemed pretty sweet, but the E3 videos didn't do a WHOLE lot for me. I'll probably pick it up down the road though.

seems like it's going for ~$30/13-14 keys. Not bad if you want it day one but (at least for me) steep for a game that can either be really great or just meh.
