No, but I agree its one and the same. So lets say its a subset of the souls fanbase, how about that?
The ones that go "lol shields are for scrubs" or "youre not playing for real if you summon"

It's been two days since Sekai said The Hourglass of Lepidoptera would be pulled from sale "as soon as possible" and it's still up. I really don't think it's going to be yanked.
I wish I'd read that thread before buying a few spares, but, hey, refunds!
AMD so you get that warm, fuzzy feeling that comes with supporting the underdog.

Astroneer this month?
What is the release date?

Well we do what we can, I can't fix the drama in the "Souls Community" (or any other community for that matter), so I just avoid it and have fun in my own way.

Had a pretty bad experience trying to build my own PC recently. I had everything set up and it worked well for a day and the motherboard just ups and dies. More power to you if building rigs is your thing but I just don't have it in me anytime soon to reinstall everything for a fourth time.
Decided to go with an Alienware Alpha since it seems like it'll meet my needs just fine. The biggest issue I hear from owners is the slow hard drive speed but I have an unused ssd I can put it. Most games I play these days are niche Japanese games so I don't think future compatibility will be an issue.
I don't know why I'm writing this. I needed to rationalize it to myself, I guess.

I suppose that was for the brains comment a few pages back.
I dunno man, the soulsfanbase (and for disclosure, i count myself among them) is honestly pretty chill. I've made many experiences with nice people that helped me to 'Git Gud' when i started playing DS for the first time. It's a very friendly and passionate community.
But thing is, generally shitheads always stand out among the masses, and now that the souls franchise exploded there are a lot more people that just play the games and post here on NeoGAF about it, but aren't really part of the community.
And in regards to Bloodborne specifically, what my post was originally about, there is also the thing with it beeing a PS4 exclusive, which adds an entire subset of fanboys to the community, you can easy tell because bloodborne got the most newcomers playing it.
Even if building a system isn't your forte, it'd still be a much better idea to snap up the parts and pay a store to put them together for you (which shouldn't cost more than around $50) than buy a pre-built system. Something worth keeping in mind for the future, at least.
Yea I'll have to agree with JaseC on this one friend, get parts and get/pay someone to build it for you.

That sounds a lot better than the bang up job I did spending 3 hours on my first build, but I have to say it was fun messing around with all those sensitive components.
Every time I put a system together, I manage to cut myself on something, at least one component is a pain in the arse to install, and the first attempt at booting fails. Next time I think I'll just have one of my mates do the job in exchange for a bottle of booze.

Just one bottle? Give 'em a case at least.

Admittedly, it got kind of tiring that the first few minutes of every interview for a while there was her saying how to pronounce her name.

DONTNOD are pretty much the kings of atmosphere. I can't wait for Vampyr.
I can sympathise. I cut my fingers real good installing just a graphics card (my current one). I, of course, bandaged it right away to avoid getting blood all over the hardware... only to notice, right after I finally got it in place, that 2/3 of the cuts went unnoticed. I guess I have delicate hands or something, because otherwise I don't know how people do it.
Hardware upgrades are bloody business.

I just don't get it...
Did I miss something? Aren't the GE games slated for summer?
For some reason devs are still using Chromatic Aberration.

Why? why should they add CA?
I'm going to befriend that douchebag and then marry him and after don't talk to him for months out of spite.
I do agree that every RPG needs own Shane.
I still need to find out what he likes, he doesn't make it easy or even possible.
you could start with buying Stardew Valley, it can run on a toster, so you won't need a new PC for a while.
Why? why should they add CA?
I am not saying that they should add it it is already there for some reason.

I know, I meant why are they doing it? All games that have it should have a CA off option in settings.
"Artistic Vision" i guess
Or simply they are just using default UE4 settings that have CA on. Many UE4 games have it.Beginning any task with buying a game is sage advice.
CA always looks awful in static screenshots as you have time to linger on it. True if used in abundance or with an extremely strong separation effect going on it can even look horrible in motion but when used sparingly and in a context that might make sense it can be pretty swish. Crysis for example all the way back in 2007 used it for a few effects (underwater and getting hit by alien weapons I seem to recall) and it wasn't u til Crysis 2 that they went overboard. When some games use it in effects or HUD elements that are ment to have distortion going on it can work quite well.
For some effect it is ok to have CA. But today they just use it in game for everything. Even in real life it is not that common to see CA these days. When you slap it as camera effect on whole image it looks bad and annoying (at least for me) even in motion. At least devs should give us a choice because that effect is something that is not used for anything except for "Artistic Vision" or whatever.
To my friend JaseC:
So beautiful.

I think is troll because SE store site eu still "coming soon" ...
If you don't proceed, then you're fine. If you ignored the warning then you could potentially become infected (Assuming it isn't a false positive).
No, it isn't anything on your side.
Not sure why people are thinking it is today, but on the positive side they did push a new change to steam according to steamdb.

Well you could argue that like vinetting it's also being used to frame the scene and draw the players eyes to the centre of the screen. Which works great if that's where your action is and you have a fixed camera but when you have games that happen all around you and leave the camera orientation in control of the player there is no way to tell what tey will be focusing on at any one time. I mean a professional colourist doesn't just select a set of fire and forget, a one and done set of values when adjusting a scene. They go through each frame one by one and mask off certain sections, maybe even multiple sections at a time and that area can contract or expand as the scene goes on frame by frame. Only way to do that and update certain effects, tonemaping, even things like depth of field proportionate to the viewers actual focus on screen, would be to track where their eyes are looking (or to an extent a HMD with a fixed screen position for every player).
So kind of like that cool thing you posted about The Division where it adjusts the UI depending where you look and even gives you a quick look towards the edge of the screen. I mean that's a nice starting point to use that kind of tech but imagine if a game could sense where you are looking on screen, calculate the object you are looking at and then adjust focus on that so it becomes clear as day. Games have had dynamic depth of field before but based on a fixed point on your display. So just alter this point dynamically to where you are looking and boom! Something pretty fancy.
I didn't know I wanted this until you mentioned it. Plus with Stargates themself you have the perfect mechanic to go back to a hub based level select rather than the forced open world the recent LEGO games have gone for.

Glossing over the posts yours caught my eye and I was excited... Till I read it properly. At least the new star wars one looks cool though.
Talking about dream games, I'd love to see a Lego noire game with actual detective puzzles.
