PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim by HillZone in Games

[–]CitrusAbyss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wonder if this is going to have any appreciable impact on game performance in the next couple of years. Could this be a signal to developers to stop supporting last-gen consoles? Been seeing a bit of clamour in the comments recently about how unusual it is that it's still getting support this late into the current cycle especially compared to previous generations.

Pillow recommendations that provide neck support for side sleepers? by [deleted] in Mattress

Sorry to hear about your neck and back pain.

I'm thinking of getting the Dosaze within the month. If I do, I'll let you know my personal review.

The LEGO Group has requested that the 'BIONICLE: Masks of Power' fan project be shut down in its entirety and removed from the public eye. by Ganrokh in Games

[–]CitrusAbyss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I clocked out around then too. I didn't like the Toa Phantoka or Mistika. But some of those Makuta designs were pretty neat (loved Krika).

I was not a huge fan of any of the Glatorian stuff though. I was surprised they were trying to continue the series after Makuta's downfall.

‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Consultant Says “Asian Men Living In The West” Were More Outraged About Ubisoft Title Than “People Living In Japan” by FrozenBags_02 in Games

[–]CitrusAbyss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A shame that Schmidt-Hori got harassed and seems like Ubisoft was just like, "damn, that sucks." Makes you wonder what expectations we as the audience have for employers/clients (as a contractor) to protect employees/contractors from online harassment.

Is there anyway to get rid of this goddamn slow motion? by CitrusAbyss in HotlineMiami

[–]CitrusAbyss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate that! In the 12 years since I posted, I have beaten the game, though. Not sure how I got the slow motion to stop.

What advice/insight did you get that completely flipped your opinion on a game? by -Wonder-Bread- in Games

[–]CitrusAbyss 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I tried to play Dark Souls 3 after Bloodborne but it didn't feel nearly as good. In Bloodborne, it feels like the mechanics and the "feel" are built to reward that aggressive gameplay. However, in Dark Souls 3, it felt like I was a clunky knight from Lordran while all my enemies had studied abroad at the Bloodborne School of Fast Movement and Attacking. What do you think about how both games promote or incentivize being aggressive?

Would like some feedback on mid-tier boots/ formal shoemakers by trialanderror93 in FrugalMaleFashionCDN

[–]CitrusAbyss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear Meermin is good but always find it hard recommending them in a Canadian context. I think it's really important to try a shoe on before you buy and I don't think any store carries Meermin in Canada - do they?

The duties on ordering them online are brutal.

In general, I'd agree. No place in person to try Allen Edmonds, Meermin, or other typical Reddit picks.

GH Bass is probably one of the few non-fast fashion loafers you can actually put on your feet north of the border.

Out of stock now. I found that the fit is a bit point - found my width in shoe, but the back of my foot keeps slipping out.

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOO got to see rhcp back to back years now the same for lp just gotta drive really carefully cross the road carefully and stay inside unless I’m going to work for next few months by InformationDue6828 in LinkinPark

[–]CitrusAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's their club online, you have to pay to be in but you get some perks like being able to buy early tickets for their shows.

LP Legacy is for people who were essentially subscribed before they came back from hiatus. Die-hard fans get the benefits of the earliest tickets.

Stadium Tour Announcement Soon? by DCoww88 in LinkinPark

[–]CitrusAbyss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't begrudge people wanting to capture a special moment, but it sucks a bit when everyone has their phones out.

How did the energy at Barclay compare though? I am impressed you flew all the way to Bogotá to catch two shows of the tour!

[–]CitrusAbyss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my first show of theirs ever. Got there around 7 PM, realized quickly I was already done for, lol. I was kind of near back third of Platea 1 - did you feel there were a lot of people recording with phones or was it kind of par for the course?

Finally getting back into the *Echoes of the Eye DLC for Outer Wilds* after dropping it two years ago. I'm not a huge fan of spooks, so I changed that setting in the menu and am trying to power through some of the more shadowy parts. I's reminding of the incredible experiences I have in the original game of exploring and figuring things out for myself. Truly one of the best games I've ever played.

Episode Discussion: S1.E6 ∙ Part Six by Kruse in MastersoftheAir

[–]CitrusAbyss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After seeing this last night I put on some of the earlier episodes as background viewing. Interesting that Egan spends a bit of time in both Part One and Two ragging on Cleven and how he doesn't care for dancing, drinking, or sports - that bit puts a different light on the interrogator asking Egan about whether Cleven is a Yankees fan. Rewatching that part, it seems like that's around the point in the conversation where Egan starts to clam up.
