Unfortunately it is! It’s become an expensive scene.

BG2 > TotK, but it has nothing to do with hardware

Sure, but the difference is that VLC can’t execute code, and if you change the file extension to MP4 then a media player is going to try to open it.

So yeah it could contain a virus, but I think getting hit with that code is almost completely impossible.

Yep 4 was really good! Looking forward to 5

The system here uses infuse, it just connects to real debrid instead of your own network share

Your system is the one I use too. The major difference is, as you say, this outsources everything. I prefer to keep my own copies of my content, while this streams it and requires more fees to access the services.

I always find it to be one of the easiest to revisit. I’ve played it on NES, GBA, PSP and more recently the Pixel Remaster. It’s just a solid game all around, even if it is basic by most standards.

Agreed, as cool as this looks, anything without a numpad is a no go for me - I use it daily

Because it’s easy? Why wouldn’t you? If I had an Xbox sitting around and it was an easy option that performed well, I’d give it a shot.

I pushed through vanilla to get to Heavansward, because that’s where everyone said it was a truly astounding narrative experience. Got through it thinking… that’s all? Got maybe 1/3 into Stormblood and burned out. At this time I can’t recall a single plot point from any of it except for dragons trading their eyes around like Pokémon cards for magic power. I sometimes feel like getting back into it to see the hype for Endwalker, but I worry I’ll be just as unimpressed, and have to put massive time in just to find that out.

I just never got it - I’m a huge FF fan and have played and loved every single game multiple times… 14 just does not do anything for me, from the gameplay to the characters, setting and story. The raid mechanics are fun enough to not feel like I’m wasting time, and the music is good. Am I just missing something?

Theft is always justified, then, clearly!

Still plays good too! The controls are so fluid while being perfectly responsive. Some of the most intensely difficult platforming challenges remain totally fair.

As far as we know, Gordon Freeman’s character traits include… long, awkward silences and the ability to climb ladders using only your feet. I love Idris Elba, but I think almost anyone could play Gordon.

I have so many fond memories of playing my modded PSP. Everything from NES ROMs, to PS1 native emulation or Crisis Core, I even used it as an MP3 player with an aux cable in my car before there were better solutions, or watching Futurama on my breaks at work. Back in the day there was no single device that could do all of this. Even now it’s so comfortable and the buttons feel so great compared to newer handhelds, so I just replaced the battery and started replaying Puzzle Quest.

Soo they didn’t get sucked in, they were drawn in and couldn’t resist, and rather than becoming monsters the shape of their bodies was deformed. It really hits Junji Ito’s delicate balance of too silly to be taken seriously, while deeply unsettling at the same time.
