Cheers. Most graphically intense game I play is going to be Total Warhammer 3 anyway, and you can't see the fine details playing like I do. So it'll last a good while.

How much overhead is there in running a dual monitor setup, on that note?

She basically turns into a Morph Ball. How very Metroid-like.

That's one item on the "Nintendo E3 2021 Leak" from awhile back that's true. Now to wait till next week to see if the rest of those rumors pan out as well.

@Sci: It was like a sardine with a more gelatinous texture. I think it'd taste best grilled. Is it a fatty fish? Felt like I was getting some nice fat with the skin.

Always reminded me most of catfish. A nice medium kind of fat.

Depends completely on what you want.

If you are fine with two 32'' 16:9 monitors, the best WQHD monitors (i.e. 2560:1920) you can probably get are two Dell S3220DGF 32'' monitors. Here's the the review on Tom's Hardware. I got them for 700,00 Euros together back in September 2020, they are currently at about that price from at least one seller in Germany (Cyberport).

My current set-up are two 38'' ultrawide 3840x1920 monitors, which cost me together a fat 3000,00 Euros.

Between that, there are tons of different price ranges and sizes. I fear you'll have to do some research what fits you best. Unless you also want to enter the ultrawide market, I can definitely recommend the Dell 3220DGF. I only changed because I had wanted to buy ultrawide monitors in the first place and the ones I got now (Alienware AW3821DW) simply didn't exist last year in September.

Persona 4: Blasted (literally) Naoto's Social Link out. Still my favorite girl in the game. The rank 10 event, on the romance path, always seemed poorly worded to me.

► Show Spoiler

She asks if the faux baritone she speaks in is to your liking. The correct answer is to say, "I prefer a higher pitch," instead of, "You're fine as you are." I understood the thematic point being made here, vis-a-vis her acceptance of herself, her resolve to live like that, and her desire for Yu. The specific phrasing is what seemed off, and then again with the school uniform event later. But I finally learned how it was in the Japanese. It was a first person pronoun issue, where Naoto was using "boku," the informal male form, and she was asking if Yu would prefer she use a more mature, feminine pronoun. Which makes _perfect_ sense with her issue with being young and female initially. Faking a male voice isn't quite the same thing.

Also, just got to the big event at the hospital.

Namatame really did deserve to die for what he did. That its the Bad Ending is kinda silly, though that it requires the PC to believe the bullshit on the TV like everyone else has, even though we all know its bullshit at this point, is good writing. But he factually did kill Nananko, and he won't be punished, so even with the lingering questions about the greater mysteries, no one would convict Yu, Yosuke, and Kanji for murdering that fuck.

Naoto's also further best girl for being the only one to propose how to deal with him.

I'm so out of touch. What are Vtubers and how do I properly watch them?

From what I understand with what little info I know, someone makes a video playing a game or having a conversation or something and runs a program with an anime character that responds to the dialogue track, then posts that up. Is that the gist of it?

I also know that there's something called Hololive that holds half the characters you'd find in Danbooru. So does Hololive come up with these characters and people use their likeness in videos, or does Hololive make their own videos with their own characters? Do certain characters have their own official channels? I know of the pirate girl and the sharkgirl, but that's it. I want to be in the know but don't know how to go about it.

[Alienmorph]

Oky, so long story short, Vtubers are streamers who use mo-capped avatars, yes. There's both independent ones and companies who are like talent agencies that own or sponsor multiple ones. The biggest ones of those are probably Hololive and Nijisanji, but there's a few others. As to where to find them, either Youtube or Twitch. I mostly watch the english branch of Hololive on YT and a group named V-Shojo on Twitch. But as for who I'd recommend you to watch, depends by your tastes of course.

[SciFlyBoy]

Okay, so it's a variety of people making content using those avatars. And every channel has their own avatar. Okay, I'll go from there. I'm watching the debut video of Gawr Gura right now...

Then after, go watch her half year's celebration stream, where she riffed on her own debut lol

[Alienmorph]

Okay, having watched the Guardians of the Galaxy stuff... so first of all, it's so obvious it was meant just to be like the Avengers game, and that they reworked it into a singleplayer thing to salvage it. The general style and the gameplay look so similar. But if it works out, I'm not complaining.

Second... what the fuck is wrong with Gamora? I know that big boobed characters are "problematic" now, so she was never going to look like in the original comics, but couldn't at least make her look a bit like the live action version of the character? She looks ridiculous with those pectoral-sleeves things.

The man, the myth, the legend.

[magnuskn]

I don't think there was a single game I was excited for at this E3. Poor showing. Sad.

[Vol]

Eh, wasn't that bad. Granted, I watched none of the shows, only these trailers. There are games I actually want to buy, and compared to some recent years, that's markedly better.

[magnuskn]

Shows again how everybody got his own taste. There was nothing which really scratches my itch, i.e. good strategy games and RPG's or some impressive space sim. Since it seems that I've fallen out of love with MMO's (still no desire at all to get back into WoW, enter any new game or even get back to World of Tanks), there's another entire section of gaming which I've lost all interest in. Ah, well. For the moment I'm still deluged with titles I've yet got to play, i.e. Subnautica Below Zero, Mechwarrior 5 : Heroes of the Inner Sphere, the new TW:WH2 lord pack later in the year, as well as Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, when it comes out and after I return from Paraguay in September. I'm finally finishing up Pathfinder: Kingmaker (in the last dungeon right now, which is kind of a slog). And Mass Effect Legendary is on hold for the moment, because of the lack of MEHEM, although I might finish off part two after I get done with Kingmaker (which will be probably this evening).

Still, would have been nice to get a good perspective for the future. As for titles which come out later in the year, I guess the only one to be really excited about will be TW: Warhammer 3. Of course that is a game which will probably keep me playing for hundreds of hours, so there's that. I hope the primary campaign will be more fun than the Vortex campaign, though. Of course we all wait for the release of the Immortal Empires DLC. ^^

Spent yesterday marathoning on Ratchet and Clank Drift Apart. It's the first true PS5 game I've played and Ratchet and Clank are always stupidly good looking games. Needless to say, it's a very visually impressive game.

The writing is still on point for the most part though I could have done without yet another Dr. Nefarious as villain sequence. He gets stale if he is used too much. Other than that, I have no complaints. The new characters Rivet and

Kit

are well done. There are more I haven't encountered yet, such as whatever Captain Quark's dimensional alter ego is.

It does a strangely worse job than other games in the series about making it clear when you can't complete an objective yet and need to come back later. I've wasted a rather large amount of time trying to do things I simply couldn't do yet and the game gives you no indication what the problem is. I've also encountered a couple of mostly minor bugs, which is pretty much unheard of for R&C games. I think I can count on one hand the number of bugs I've found in these games after playing pretty much all of them for 15+ years.

They always subtly mess with the controls between installments which was really throwing me at first, but I finally got back into my old rhythm after an hour or two.

They simultaneously made the levels more open and did away with the really onerous horrible fetch quests of the "bring in 100ish moonstones" variety which is a nice combination.

The jokes seem a little staler but that might just be because I'm older and grumpier and not because the game is less funny. There's still a lot of cheesy fun. A pirate yelling "Arrggh! I should have worn me rubber booties!" and/or "Stay grounded, me hearties!" when I shot him with the electric gun got a chuckle anyway.

Overall, the game lacks a tiny bit of polish for what I expect from R&C and there's some "been there, done that" but I'm still having fun. They haven't really messed with their core formula in years, but it's a really good formula so there's not much to mess with. It's neither the strongest or weakest in the series so far. (I'd give that to Up Your Arsenal and A Crack in Time which are borderline perfect games as the best and the assorted knockoff noncore series games like All 4 One they made in the early 2010s as the worst). 9/10 or so for this one.

[Deano]

Saying the right things, hopefully they redeem themselves.
