Hold on.

Is Star Citizen _still_ not out?

Though I've had Bloodstained on my Steam wishlist for a while, and it's on sale now. Is it actually good? The only 2D games I care to play anymore are Shantae, and my impression is Bloodstained is a more difficult, complex game in the same genre.

Alright the story of Age of Calamity has reached a level of stupid that is so profound I am completely on board. I officially love this game.

Well yes, it is a Metroidvania, emphasis on the 'vania part in this case, of course. I can't currently play it because my PC is bing a bitch and at this point I'll just save for a new one rather than repair this one, but from what I've seen you're being spot on with that impression.

It's the spiritual successor to Castlevania, done in the style of games like Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia, etc. So if Metroidvania's are your speed, you'll love it.

You sweet summer child.

Every now and again, I see news about it pop up. A new alpha build, some new features, a new round of fundraising ships.

The process deserves multiple academic studies regardless of what happens.

Never played a Castlevania game in my life, funnily enough. But those recommendations are good enough for me! Also got Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, because I'm a simp for Harvest Moon games.

I knew there was a little chunk of meat in the tail going to waste, but no one ever told me, and it never occurred to me until now, that if I lightly bite and twist, it'll come loose. Which is comical, given my age, and that I'm quite good at extracting the meat from crab legs, which is considerably more tricky.

It's comical, really. But also annoying, because nobody ever told me I was wasting good shrimp.

I've gotten to the point with shrimp where when they leave the shell on the tail section in a pasta dish or something that I'll just eat the whole thing, shell and all.

I'd love to write a book with you on the things we've never been told, because I felt blindsided after most of my discoveries growing up. Mostly I suffered the hand waving from authority figures in my life, "oh yeah, well of course everyone knows that!"

Braver man than me. I'll eat a little shard of it, if it comes off during the process. But it's like gristle, I can handle a little bit, but a big, chewy piece that you chew and chew and get nowhere with, ech.

It really does keep happening, doesn't it? As if there's this immaterial field of common knowledge that everyone but people like us were plugged into. Or we weren't paying attention to the right things.

Boy, oh, boy the GPU market is fucked right now. 100%+ markup on pretty much all decent mid-range to upper-range cards. On the plus side, I got every other part at a very good price, all on the way. This rig lasted 8 years just fine, and the new one should last even longer. Just gotta get a GPU, whenever the miners stop blowing out the market.

Edit: Looking like an RTX 3060 Ti is the sweet spot for me. And they sold out instantly yesterday too, apparently. So if any of you guys know someone or see one in a store, let me know, and I'll reimburse you if the price is around $400.

Yeah, I've been wanting to upgrade my rig for some time and seeing as I am still running a 970 I really need to get something new.
This seems to be the right time to look into new GPU's.
I was gonna wait for spring next year to get a 3070 or 3080.

The main annoying thing is my motherboard can only take ddr3 RAM, which means I'll need an entire new PC essentially as I doubt my club hands can not destroy my CPU trying to move it off the current board onto a new one.

Which means a lot of money...
That I don't have but might have in the new year/january-february once my dad can get his money back to pay me back.

I beat Age of Calamity. I had a good time with it, and will probably do the last few side quests before Cyberpunk releases.

The story definitely goes some ridiculous places
► Show Spoiler


I liked it though. A lot actually. I like the characters enough that i was willing to deal with the repetition of a Dynasty Warriors game. Even after getting a whole game that is essentially just more time with the Champions, I still hope we get more of them in the sequel.

My 970 held up just fine this whole time, really. Started waffling recently, but I don't buy most AAA gr@ph1X spectacle, and could run a solid Medium to Med-Low if needed. But my new rig has a lovely CPU, so I want a good GPU to complement it. And then I saw the good ones are $1k+ (MSRP), so I set my sights to the 3060-ti.

Now we play the waiting game.

3080 is a big boy card. Why not pay double and get the 3090? Heh.

C'mon only...$1500 or so for a 20% performance increase!

But yeah. Unless the US Congress finds it in them to pay us honest folk a fraction of what we lost from their bullshit this year, I'm going for the mid-range. 3060 ti, bit worse than the 3070, but $100 cheaper.

I was reading reviews on monitors (speakers) from $80 to $800,000. The more money you pay the lower the performance actually increases. Above $500,000 and you're looking for a real specific difference in sound.

Yeah I am kinda proofing mine for the next 6 years if I can manage it.

Yeah I have got to look into monitors next after my upgrade so I can match what I'd be using for my machine.
IF I can manage 4k then maybe it's worth it.
