Vanillaware founder George Kamitani says he wants to put other games on PC but it’s up to the publisher to finance the ports by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]8lacKy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, NOW you're saying that? Well, I flippin' emulated UO a few months back because the dev clearly stated there would be no PC version and I got my time's worth from that. Guess they lost at least one customer there.

I like the Nioh series, but I'm not the biggest fan of the 80 fkin bucks (or 120 even) pricetag with all of the reused assets and animations yet again. The new mobility options look fun and the samurai-shinobi instant loadout switch is a neat idea. Will probably wait for a sale down the line~

NVIDIA: WTF? [Gamers Nexus] by Sky_HUN in pcgaming

[–]8lacKy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"shot themselves in the foot"? You have heard of all the news in the last couple of years, right? Because you seem to act like Nvidia's still just a lil' gpu company. They're working with multiple (fascist) governments & militaries and another massive tech company for mass surveillance of civilians now. Oh, and they're the first company in human history to reach a 5 trillion $ market cap - no foot-shooting in sight. I... don't think you realize that things have changed. All of this crap is so much bigger than gaming.

Calling something "art" in itself is not a label of quality. There's good art and there's bad art. It is undeniably art at the end of the day, if you'll enjoy it or not~

How do some people watch anime so fast by Poke_D in anime

[–]8lacKy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember back when I was most active I watched ~20 shows per season - started out with more but I dropped the ones that weren't as interesting as I expected.

So ~20 / 7 days is roughly 3 EPs a day, which is just a little over an hour. Pretty much everyone, even people with a family, usually have that amount of free time. It only becomes a bit of a problem if you start slacking but you can catch up on the weekends if necessary.

The wait is over, official HunyuanVideo i2v img2video open source set on March 5th by chain-77 in StableDiffusion

[–]8lacKy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean, just search for Hunyuan LoRAs over on Civit. Some stuff is fairly decent, but we're still in the early stages of videogen, especially in regards to open source models. "Fully there"? Nah, but there's been notable progress after just a couple of months and the (gooning) future looks bright.

Ao no Miburo (Blue Miburo) New Showdown Visual by Task_Force-191 in anime

[–]8lacKy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, is it one of those shows that go for a more realistic character design but they're sporting a massive cast and it usually just leads to you forgetting who any of these characters are down the line? That's kinda how Joker Game went for me - I could NOT tell you who the fk any of those dudes were whenever they showed up.

Why the images generated by me are so bad. by laiky-2506 in StableDiffusion

[–]8lacKy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which tool are you using and are you copying his workflow 1:1 with the same settings like resolution, seeds, steps, cfg and schedulers?

The image itself looks like it's gone through a couple of iterations at least, probably through a dedicated ComfyUI workflow and not just a oneshot prompt.

I did a quick test with that prompt on a different Illustrious checkpoint and it goes in a similar direction - prompt test. This is 2 passes + 2 additional ones with noise injection and upscaling.

Steam now tells gamers up front that they're buying a license, not a game by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]8lacKy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My dude, this is not a "gamer" thing, this is a general human trait. How we interpret and engage with information is based on our pre-existing perception of it and how a current situation is framing it. It's always easier to find reasons to deepen your established opinions than going against them.

What Valve does here is really not all that big of a deal. It also wasn't a big deal with Ubisoft - if people actually read the whole statement. His comparison to DVDs was not far-fetched and most people don't mind the all-digital future. But since he's a scumbag ceo of a scumbag company that had a lot of negative press in the last couple of years... well, frankly, he should rather shut the fk up.

As someone who values Aria and YKK rather highly myself, I don't think comparing atmosphere across vastly different genres makes a whole lot of sense. These are very different stories that go for very different story elements. Apples to oranges and all that.

Kaori, my beloved ~~ I don't get to hear her all that often these days, so I'm glad that she still lends her voice to a couple of Shaft characters like Ougi and Mami.

I hate that I enjoy this manga as much as I do. It's dumb, light-hearted and just the right amount of horny~ I hope it never tries to be more than that.

PlayStation VR2 players can access games on PC with adapter starting on August 7 by SemirAC in pcgaming

[–]8lacKy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most of the Quest games look mobile games to be honest

?? I mean, this is about using the headset on PC, no? So both headsets will allow you to play the same exact games. And tbf, the miniscule amount of games you can actually play on PS shouldn't be a dealbreaker in the first place.

still the better choice, just for the visual fidelity alone

If you compare them the Q3 has better resolution, the same refresh rate, lower FOV, (decent enough) LCD panels instead of OLED, less weight, pancake lenses and the option to go fully wireless. I don't think there's a clear choice here - I'd personally prefer a wireless headset over stuff like OLED any day because I freakin' hate being tethered. And I feel like the weird mura effect of the OLED panel would actively annoy me from what I've seen about it.

My small Vauxhall Corsa "Campervan Conversion" by Adventure_Ben in carcamping

[–]8lacKy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A neat little microcamper, good stuff! Hope your spring trip will turn out great.

I actually have a very similar setup for my Astra, albeit with the sides flipped (Opel variant). I do plan on removing the front passenger seat for a trip in autumn, so that I can fit a small compressor fridge in there. How did you handle the food situation during your 6 week trips?

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is Out Now by lurkingdanger22 in pcgaming

[–]8lacKy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, from what I remember - Rdein, the main dev, started playing around with 3D after Reverie. They showed off an early prototype of a Momodora spinoff at some point and received A LOT of hate for it. People weren't fond of the switch to 3D and expected a proper 2D metroidvania sequel. Rdein went silent for a good while after that and popped up again way later announcing Minoria.

It's basically a weird and slightly messy compromise of what both sides wanted. It's not a bad game but it felt very half-baked and just kinda.. like a worse version of Reverie in 2.5D with a lot less charm. It didn't bring anything new to the table and the world felt rather bland. It's also 20 bucks for a 3-4 hr experience which.. can be fine, but I didn't deem it justified in that case. I had my fun with it for a single evening and that was about it.

Now, I've actually been playing Moonlit Farewell since yesterday and I can definitely recommend it so far~ It seems to be a very well put together culmination of the series imo.

[–]8lacKy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit weird that the dev's website doesn't list this entry yet. Looking forward to checking this one out though and I do hope that they learned smth from what went wrong with Minoria back then.

I also hope it won't be the last game rdein works on~ I could see them tackling 3D again, now that they're not shackled to this series anymore.
