jshackles I'll try to PM you a list of games you could add to your Extra Life playlist. I'll be aiming for games that are short, but you can disregard any games you've already completed and beaten.

Things I learned today: CD Project Red are extremely lazy devs who don't care about their customers, are in bed with Microsoft and only care more about future titles and crappy card games.

Lovely, Microsoft closed down Skype (London Studios).
Will start making another client. Skype for Life
Makes almost as much sense as UWP for games does.

I feel like that headline is misleading, it sounds like they want to unify the mess that is the Skype platform. As the article mentions, there's like 5 or 6 different platforms for Skype right now, some very divergent, and they are going to develop a new one that sounds like it will replace many of the old.

Considering I have to use Skype for business at work, Skype at home, and Skype mobile on my phone, all for various contacts, I would welcome a less splintered software :p I never really liked Skype in the first place years ago but I am but one voice in the sea of people I contact.

the process for Pro updates are apparently simple enough for one person to do.

Why would Witcher 3 even need a PS4P patch?
It's not like the potato, netbook level CPUs will let the game run at 60fps refresh rate.

Apparently Sky Rogue got a new update with a heavy interceptor when I wasn't looking.

All this PS4 Pro idiocy is...honestly I should be able to write a fucking prose about it.
The thing is just an upgrade from one 'computer rig' to a slightly stronger one; stuff PCGamers have been doing for a decade, and now console peeps are acting like it's some kind of revolution.

If you don't mind me asking, what is the process like? A dev just needs to release an update file or the sort for a game that is Pro compatible and then the console will enable the performance enhancements etc?

I have been looking for the answer to a stupid question but could not find one online, so I am asking here just in case some expert in cheevos would know.

I have 36 "perfected" games according to Steam, i.e. games with 100% completion in terms of achievements. I would like to know which games are these. However, if I look at astats.nl, only 35 "perfected" games are detected, and the total number of achievements is 4076, including achievements which are obsolete, instead of 4097 (Steam count). So I am looking for some demo or game with less than 21 achievements which would explain the difference. Is there a tool/script to do that? Or any insight regarding what to do with a script language like Python?

One thing that I suspect is that astats does not update all the cheevos, but prefers to detect recently played games and only updates these. Say you do not visit astats for a long time, then some games will never be updated.

So a resident evil 7 VR Demo truck is going to be hitting numerous states. If anyone finds the actual schedule please post it. Raleigh is only an hour from me so I think I'll make the trip to go play it.

It'll be the lantern demo that was playable at gamescom

In the "No patch for Witcher 3 for PS4 PRO thread." It's becoming worse and worse so would advise you not to enter it to keep your sanity.

I don't understand why it escalated this high honestly, why do people seem so quick to jump to conclusions based purely on their skewed opinions?

Bloody Baron.. First time I regret my "one save" for RPGs, I know I'd go back and choose differently that I'd spend most of the time replaying but damn, the choices in Witcher 3 are harsh.

I have millions of saves for all my RPGs, because I'm a very fickle person.

Hard + no vita chambers works. It's easy to watch your first aid kids just disappear in a hectic situation. I'm also playing with a gamepad and aim assist off (I always turn it off).

I'd have too many and would spend all the time doing choices differently if I'd let myself do that anymore, having one save keeps me progressing, normally I'd lose interest in the game at some point if I kept redoing quests so I've noticed now I actually finish some of the long RPGs.

best quest in the game imo

Very emotional and had many twists, it was great. I have high expectations as it's fairly early to the game that there's something that can rival it later on, just got to Hattori.

his wife turned back into a human and died immediately afterwards and the baron subsequently hung himself

I don't even save to redo choices most of the time, I just save because I have "save more than I need to just in case you never know" syndrome.

Left pretty bad aftertaste in my mouth too, but no backing out at this point. Just hoping there's chance later in the game to redeem myself, I want
the crones and that mare fiend
to taste my steel.

is it safe to update to the windows anniversary update yet?
Click to expand...

Forgive my lazy question, but is this much-vaunted anniversary update an opt-in thing?

I've received update scheduling prompts on both of my Win10 machines, with overnight reboots and whatnot, but I've seen none of the supposed woes associated with this update (junky Start menu items reappearing, Cortana bullying her way back into being, etc).
