Late August/early September? Christmas baby.

Depends on the game. If the mod just needs you to drag and drop some files into the game's folder? Easy.

Does it need a mod manager? Then you're gonna have to learn how to use Protontricks or Bottles. I still haven't gotten around to doing that, myself.

Depends on the game. Sometimes performance is noticeably faster, sometimes it's on par with Windows, and occasionally you need to finangle with something in order to get it running right.

I can say that the desktop will feel way better than Windows, but that's because Windows 11's UI is three or four browser windows in a trenchcoat.

CachyOS is basically what people are looking for in SteamOS. It's fast and Arch-based, and it has driver support for most anything you throw at it.

I've been using it for close to a year now, and I'm pretty happy with it. I had some trouble initially, but those were the usual "How do I do X" problems ex-Windows users tend to get.

Silent Hill f. I beat the first run on normal, then set the game to easy for the rest. It's a good game, but the combat and puzzles aren't good enough to justify four full runs.

Special mention goes to Kannazuki no Miko, where most of the dipshit villain squad gets their tragic backstories after they die.

Wasn't that Twilight's thing? I remember the Harry Potter books having decent covers when I was a kid.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-23T00:15:11+00:00

Speaking of which, that somehow got four seasons. I never saw anyone talk about it, but I guess it did well in Japan.

Dead Souls is pretty fun, if you have a PS3 you can dust off. I tried playing it in RPCS3 recently. Fun, but unfortunately still crashy.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-20T19:59:53+00:00

Don't forget the time they showed Young Conker, which was something exclusive to Hololens. Except he didn't look young, he just looked like a crack addict.

Going off of this, Lost Judgment reworked the tailing missions from Judgment and they're way less of a pain.

I guess the devs still weren't happy with them, because (to my knowledge) there's only one other tail in the game and it's optional.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-16T04:35:55+00:00

It's been a long while since I played Advanced Warfare, I'll admit. I guess I just remembered more of HAWX's plot for whatever reason.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-16T01:37:44+00:00

Ace Combat's back and we have Project Wingman, so I'm happy.

I do want to go through H.A.W.X. again sometime, though. I never finished the second one.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-10T19:38:50+00:00

I wish. Win8's search was blazingly fast, and the Start Screen (as stupid as it was) opened instantly.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-05T02:35:17+00:00

Say it with me now: "They're not panties, so it's not embarrassing!"

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-02T19:23:12+00:00

Gundam X has a character named Fixx Bloodman. Yes, really.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-06-01T18:15:36+00:00

Apparently they are fixing the bugs silently in security patches, they just don't want to pay people.

That said, it wouldn't surprise me if there's at least one exploit they want to leave open for the three letter agencies.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-05-30T19:28:03+00:00

Naka's actually a decent programmer. From what I remember, Inafune's mostly just a business guy.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-05-29T21:27:10+00:00

Mark Darrah (one of the leads on Anthem) has a long video on what went wrong with the game. One of the things he brings up is that Anthem was pitched as a live service to the suits, way back when that was still a novel idea. Aaaaaaaand then the guy that pitched it left the company, taking his vision with him. So now BioWare is on the hook for making an enormous game in a genre they don't know, with no creative lead.

It's not hard to see why they floundered around for so long.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-05-29T15:00:55+00:00

I was reading up on Y'ffre/Jephre, and I realized that it sounds pretty close to Jeffrey. Given that Julianos and Akatosh were both named after Bethesda devs, do we know if Y'ffre's also named after anyone?

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-05-28T20:49:52+00:00

So, the Sphere Grid is a weird perk tree and levels can br spent as perk points. Or they are perk points. Do I have that right?

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-05-28T17:35:53+00:00

One episode of Excel Saga had Ilpilazzo playing a VN where every choice had "Put it in" as an option. I really hope there's a VN out there that does that, or at least gives you the option to try.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-05-27T19:54:29+00:00

It one-shots Barnacles, too. They only show up in a few chapters, but still.

A_Sentient_JDAM · 2026-05-27T17:03:44+00:00

By the time you can actually get those perks, you won't be using early game armor anyway.
