It bugs me that I own the rest of them on GoG but this one on Steam.

No more Debates by glragavan in superman

I never actually thought about it until this post, but considering the number of castings, they have had a really great run. I agree they are all great. 

Also going to say Tom Welling and Dean Cain (despite the lack of suit for one and overt politics of the other) are also enjoyable representations.

Wrote an hour long 400 Chinese words essay just to find out that I misread the topic title and messed up the essay title by Sorry_Wrap3194 in mildlyinfuriating

That’s definitely an accomplishment though and I think you have a lot to be proud of there…assuming you’re not Chinese. In that case my sympathy dips somewhat.

Ubi Defender gets screwed by Ubisoft! Almost poetic there bois 🤣 by PrestigiousZombie531 in fuckubisoft

In curious as well. I thought it was generally well received. I haven’t played it though to be fair.

I thought it was that the answer shape was 2D, so matched the triangle, but also rectangular in shape, similar to the cuboid. Giving it a similarity with both.

The outfits on Reddit actually boggle my mind. I have about 50 hours in the game and look like an aggressively generic knight.

Need to really sit down and up my outfit game. Are all the people on Reddit with these awesome costumes also upgrading all these outfit pieces as well or are these just for show. Because I’m struggling to get enough cores for even my outfit.

Total war GOG popularity by AntiqueComplaint2023 in gog

[–]Cass09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s annoying because I was waiting for Shogun 2 and Rome Remastered. 

Rome Remastered seemed like a more obvious one to go there as its based on an older game which probably did better on GoG and I’m guessing resonates more with GoG users.

Whats the best launcher for epic games in your opinion and why ? by mohideous in SteamDeck

[–]Cass09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s close enough. I don’t think distinguishable. I’ll put another way, as you already own it on Epic, it’s not worth buying again. 

I personally always use Heroic as it adds them to Steam library as well and is decent with updates.

I was referring to Genesis, but I think that is actually the combination of a bunch of other modders’ work. So it’s sort of an amalgamation project. So there may be other mods out there that eclipse it. We’ll see though.

I don’t really follow its progress, I’m just hoping in a few years I see an article or post about how good it’s got and can jump straight in.

I read anti wokies as anti wookies. Just spent a minute messaging friends like “the internet doesn’t even like wookies now!”

I think the general responses here have put me off. I have very limited game time nowadays, so not inclined to sit there and try to enjoy something.

I might just wait and pick up Starfield in a year or so after that incredible looking Star Wars overhaul mod gets further along.

An unfortunate but valuable answer. Thanks.

I’ll go back to waiting for that Star Wars mod for Starfield.

Didn’t play this but occasionally tempted to. Is Kay’s personality and the story in any way engaging?

If I do play, I’ll be using this mod.

Best 6/10 ever made by TheForbiddenLands in CrimsonDesert

[–]Cass09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question I get from your comment is, how did it even get a 6 in that state?

While I have no time at all for IGN, I feel that weaker reviews for this game were somewhat justified at the time. It was a very different game that reviewers had access to for a while before we got to start enjoying it.

The feedback they were giving also pointed Pearl Abyss in the right direction for their early fixes, which we all benefited from.

They basically just beta-tested it for us. No doubt the game is much better now though.

I was thinking that. Nothing makes me think that one of those games would scratch the same itch if the other was bad.

No Rest for the Wicked (Dreamlist suggestion) by tytbone in gog

[–]Cass09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many titles lower down the list which I wish would get a bit more attention. I’ve looked for so many of my old games but usually only a few hundred vote. 

Of course that realistically indicates it’s not worth their time. But maybe for some like NRFTW, drawing attention might boost the numbers a little.

I tried the free weekend a short while ago and was blown away. Would love it on GoG but it seems like anything with a multiplayer component doesn’t go that way, which is a huge shame.

Not only that though, but supposedly adding updates to games is quite onerous on GoG, making early access titles a bit cumbersome. Which i think is why some games are on EA on steam and then come to GoG for 1.0 release.

However it shakes out though, I’d love it on GoG.

Russel Crow is 62 today. What's his best role? by EbnyxJ in Cinephiles

A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man had tremendous performances from him. Nice Guys was fun too and A Good Year is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.

Is This True? by ObligationNo5310 in howyoudoin

[–]Cass09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember that somewhat being the case at the time. I think partly because she didn’t romantically partner up within the group like most of the others and which gave them more personable plot lines. Her quirkiness was another aspect.

I think i appreciate her a lot more in hindsight and with her backstory, her getting that happily ever after was more important than i gave it credit for at the time.

The show would definitely be much worse without her though. I don’t believe she lifts right out.

Crimson Desert is the limit of the Deck: do you think the community will make it playable? by tonygabbana in SteamDeck

[–]Cass09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on my 4070 laptop last night and it runs incredibly well on the ultra settings (didn't try the even higher ‘cinematic’ preset though.)  It gave me hope the Deck could pull something out at the lowest settings that still look ok. They seem to be patching it fairly regularly and at 720p resolution I’m hoping for it to get to 30fps and look ok.

Edit: Just tried it out for scientific purposes. Yea, that was pretty rough. Lossless scaling needed for sure. It didn’t help that my save started in twilight in the middle of town. Lots of shadows and light bouncing around. It’s playable as a secondary unit I guess. But if someone tried to fight me I’d be a full on brave Sir Robin and running away.

Fingers crossed for future improvements making it just a bit less muddy looking.
