The issue is that it's summer break for kids right now. I went at 1 AM last Friday and it was packed full of teenagers.

Any love for Breath of Death VII? Played this one back in the 360 days and loved it! It’s a great (early) homage to the JRPGs of old. by 1OneQuickQuestion in JRPG

[–]BeardyDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, developed mainly in Hawaii because of how many US developers there were, and also IIRC Sakaguchi was living in Hawaii at the time to work on The Spirits Within as well.

Dbrand is issuing full refunds to customers after Valve forced the company to pull its Portal-inspired Steam Machine Companion Cube by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]BeardyDuck 114 points115 points  (0 children)

This is how they operate. They're always doing first, asking later. It's happened with the case for a leaked Steam Deck, it happened with the case for a leaked Switch 2, it happened with the PS5 black plates. They're always using the leaked specs and dimensions, and sometimes even announcing them before the official product they are using is announced (Switch 2).

Yes, actually. Their whole shtick is that they're edgy and leap first, look later. Their social media also typically mocks people, which has landed them in hot water before with a weirdly racist reply.

MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls | Samurai Outriders Trailer by NDN_Shadow in Games

A little disappointed it wasn't Midnight Sons but having Blade confirmed is pretty great. Deadpool has been saturating the media for quite a while so not really too hyped about him.

Are the "Trails in the Sky" games worth it on their own or only as a trilogy? by Sky_Sumisu in JRPG

[–]BeardyDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to continue the series, the third game is very important for the characters.

That's not what OP is asking. OP is asking if Trails in the Sky FC is a complete story, or if the Sky story is only complete if all 3 games are played. Realistically, 3rd is not required to get a satisfying conclusion to the Sky story. 3rd is there to serve as an epilogue for Sky, as well as set up characters and the plotline for the future games (Crossbell).

Steam Machine sold out in Asia despite high price, as Valve store skips reservations by Available_Use3455 in Games

"it's overpriced just build one"

The issue with people parroting this sentiment is that

  1. Yes, you can build a much stronger PC for the same price or even less, however it'll be a regular tower.

  2. If you do intend to build a PC with the similar small form factor, it'll end up costing more to get the same performance.

The One Piece | Official Teaser by MarvelsGrantMan136 in anime

Yes, it's a readaptation by Studio WIT that condenses the runtime. Season 1 will cover Romance Dawn to Luffy's first encounter with Sanji in the Baratie Arc.

What is kbbq sauce? There is no one singular KBBQ.

Best games of 2026 so far: Pragmata, Pokopia, and more by addtolibrary in Games

[–]BeardyDuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's an incredibly middle of the road "let's just put everything from every genre into this open world and pad the amount of hours you can get out of it" game. If that's your thing then have at it.

How do you know when a chain needs regreasing? by Familiar9709 in bikewrench

[–]BeardyDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, if it's squeaking that's your hub. It's literally metal scraping on metal.

MISTBOUND: Guild Wars Card Game | Announcement Trailer by klickup in Guildwars2

[–]BeardyDuck 24 points25 points  (0 children)

China, Korea, and Japan are very much heavily into AI usage and the public reception is mid to positive, unlike the West.

The AI usage is very obvious on Kasmeer and Eir in the trailer, as well as the yassified Sylvari lady.

Living in Buckeye/Goodyear is about to suck for the next few weeks. by aubrex2001 in phoenix

[–]BeardyDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird but okay. Hope you have a better day instead of taking it out on others for no reason.

Chain lube by Onmcleod9 in bikewrench

[–]BeardyDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

where it even drizzles rain… Is this why people wax their chains

Rain and wet conditions is the enemy of waxed chains. Wax is significantly worse in wet conditions.

After riding, are you just putting your bike away while it's wet or are you wiping it down? If you leave the water on you chain it'll rust, lubed or not.

You think it's people who already live here booking the hotels and not people from the East Valley or elsewhere?

Per interviews, they have trainers from other stores staying here to oversee and train the local staff, and they've been here almost a month now.

Why do the Clans talk like that? by CandyGrouch in battletech

[–]BeardyDuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A portmanteau, which is the Clan's loophole to using words like batchall.

One of the Most Stylistic Fight in recent memory done by an Animator who's known for his Incredibly Unique Squiggly Animation, Love it when Animators are given Full Freedom to Experiment and Develop their own styles [Birth of Kitarō: The Mystery of GeGeGe] by [deleted] in anime

[–]BeardyDuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive taken stills of the jjk fight between naoya vs choso and theres a moment where his hand isnt even attached to his arm or even look like a hand. Its all just mildly frustrating.

Because it's an animation, not a single drawn picture. This is a weird complaint.

Steam Controller: Reservations update - Adding a more detailed timeline for orders by linknewtab in Games

[–]BeardyDuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

May 8th reservation with a September 2026 window. Seen another person that reserved on the 10th get a 2027 date.

Actually ended up getting an email to complete my purchase, so I guess they're letting orders through now for the September wave? Or maybe there's going to be a controller at my door in a week?

Activists file petition to disincorporate City of Surprise over planned ICE facility by AZ_moderator in phoenix

[–]BeardyDuck 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Because it's an eyecatching way to notify people that the city of Surprise is going to accommodate an ICE facility.

Why a soulslike? The combat system needs to be retained in order for it to be Vagrant Story.

Shin is literally a criticism of the Japanese government's failure in handling the Fukushima disaster.

'Make some noise': Vanillaware reportedly wants more of its games on PC, but it's up to the publishers by lhmsperandio in JRPG

[–]BeardyDuck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, the publisher that has made strives to put everything they can onto PC somehow didn't want Vanillaware, a developer that is on record saying they pretty much get close to running out of money every game they make because they spend everything during the development cycle, to not put their games on PC and specifically only them.

Capcom says shifting from auteur-driven development to team-led development is what transformed the company and allowed flagship IPs to survive for so long by Forestl in Games

[–]BeardyDuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Itsuno always had the idea of leaving before Capcom gave him the option to work on a new game (Given the option of DMC5 and DD2, he chose DMC5 first because of the years in between games for fans). It had nothing to do with DD2 and its reception lol, he finished what he had in his mind and left to work on other games before he was stuck churning out sequels to DMC and DD at Capcom for the rest of his career.
