Yeah the fact that the basic 4x LMB into RMB combo is basically the only combo you can do kinda blows. The abilities do mix it up, but only a little. I hope it gets better since I’m only like 7-8 hours into the game and there’s still new stuff being added to the combat, but it does make a really bad first impression.

I still have a hearty backlog tho and I know Like A Dragon is waiting so the horizon is looking good. And I’m gonna buy Expedition 33 this Christmas sale.

Just bounced off of Elden Ring again. It’s a good game but idk starting a fresh playthrough just feels like a slog. And jumping back into my overheated character feels boring. I should remove it from my “favorite game” section on Steam but idk what should replace it.

Another game I’m way more into than I thought is Final Fantasy XVI. I’m not a huge FF fan and have gotten a lot less interested in turn based combat as I got older, so I really like this direction FF is heading into.

Clive and Sid’s VAs sound like 30 years older than their characters and the amount of cutscenes is quite overwhelming, but I’m invested.

I had it on my wishlist for quite some time and the reason why I finally pulled the trigger was a short 50 sec video of someone annihilating a deer with the power of god.

Mostly what I do is have anxiety about not knowing what to do since no project ideas come to mind and then feeling guilty about not doing anything.

Doing more game dev helps, but my mindset of not doing something because better projects already exist definitely keeps me from programming a lot.

Had the same gut reaction but then realized it’s basically only 1 year ahead of schedule. It REALLY doesn’t feel like the PS5 has been out for 5 years now.

I don’t know what’s worse, knowing that this image exists, or knowing that it ISN’T AI generated and someone really thought this looked good.

If you like this type of game and want more I recommend the YouTube channel Kirk Collects. He covers boomer shooters a lot and this game was also in his latest roundup. https://youtube.com/@kirkcollects

Home server is actually a RasPI

Sigh

I don’t rember where I heard (must’ve been a TV show) it but it always stuck with me when a character said “yes offense”.

Everyone in this thread: happy with what they have and got bills to pay
Me: ok cool I can actually stay under 400€ nvm the fact my backlog bigger than Beverly Hills

Ahh that game is so great but I hate it and can never get far in it. It both scratches a itch that almost no other game can yet is so exhausting to play I can never keep at it for more than a couple hours.

Bro people are already jizzing their pants at the reveal this is set in Japan, you can get way more out of them than $120. Base game won’t be under $70 for sure.
And also like 2 tiers of advanced access (maybe 2 and 5 days).

Prolly gonna happen with advanced access

Please don’t let this be $80, but I’m afraid that this is likely what it’s gonna cost :/

My fav tidbit about this game is the Wikipedia section “development”. I quote:

Konami felt it had become overly westernized

Bitch you the ones that took the IP away from Team Silent and gave it to western devs who had no clue what to do with it.
Now they smell there’s money to be made and are cashing in.
And they are cashing in hard. I will never buy a $80 game.

• Suit for Hire
• Dagger Directive
• Peripeteia
• Bright Memory Infinite
• Cruelty Squad

For image gen I don’t have a good use but it is very complex which means sometimes I can just lose an hour or 2 fumbling around in a complex network of nodes.
What I found fascinating was how strangely good the results were when I created an image, then fed the result back as input, and repeated that process.
The only useful thing I used image gen for was creating references for an artist to create a PFP for me that looks rad as hell.

As for LLMs, also not really. I think about 90% of the time LLMs either give a useless or just wrong answer. I can’t seem to find the thing that LLMs are supposed to be good for. One thing all LLMs I tried have failed consistently at was finding a movie from a vague description I gave.

Amogus but you have to pay $5 per match to get the color you want and $10 for a chance to become impostor

At this point I’d rather play CoD than ubislop assassins creed 43 here we go assassinating again

Not my fav but to post something different: dir en grey - shitataru mourou https://youtu.be/TLXtwCViVQk

Again?
