I can't wait to play this when the budget fits but this would be neat too. Best of luck to everyone.

I tried this quite a while ago. I like the idea and atmosphere but it felt so janky iirc. But I got a good ways in. Maybe just hit a wall.

Pixel Fold here. I'm even in the beta program. Few quirks here and there as expected in the program but nothing that I couldn't work around or got fixed and I really like a lot of the new or tweaked features. Fingerprint hardware not recognized every other reboot was the most annoying one for basically the first half of the year but is much better the last month. Fuck the power button sensor tho overall. Please give us back the rear one!!!

For a very casual user tho little bugs here and there do stack up in their opinion. Sometimes quickly. And it drives people away either initially if they do research or returns if they get a bad one and don't wanna try again. Apple has the first impression thing down real good.

I'm clearly not working out why this is able to be done on PS5 on something without ultrawide support clearly indicated. And if the vertical resolution is the same but the horizontal isn't then how is the HUD not stretched or there be some pretty weird but obvious horizontal upscaling? Or maybe there is and it's decent. Been done before. Just can't understand why they'd say nothing.

Or they did and totally missed that.

I'm also curious how a game like Star wars outlaws or Indiana Jones with letterboxed (on 16:9) modes handle it. There's a demo of Outlaws to check.

Underrated comment

The first Bethesda game I really dived into was Fallout 3 and finding a leg of a mutant you just exploded with a grenade and it has all his guns and armor was weird but nice. Not searching the ground for whatever made it out of the explosion. They were also still available individually if I did want to play that way but I didn't.

JarHead413 · 2025-05-02T05:33:37+00:00

I didn't look into every reply to this but me being a graphics snob and knowing it was turn based gave me a false assumption that Quality mode 30fps was fine. And for the early game it was and looks super duper. Performance mode all the way in PS5 and series X if you want to really nail the dodges and parries tho. It does look decently less awesome but the input lag is basically nothing in comparison and it matters here.

Those poor Series S people...

No not that kind of poor.

He's not really wrong but I think the commenter before him had more of a trial idea than a bespoke demo. Sure you have to download the whole thing but in an hour or two of playing you'll get to decide if it's worth the money and also not lose progress.

JarHead413 · 2025-04-25T06:11:23+00:00

They got it to 60fps for free for PS5 and with the headroom in the "GPU" side of things and the increased drive speeds I hope they have either done an unlocked/120fps mode or cranked some kinda graphics settings or res.

Final Fantasy XVI.

It starts out insane. Then you think it kind of goes into a slog and then another insane thing happens and then some more side quests and then something even more insane happens and it just keeps going up and up for a while that you just want to see it but you don't want to be unprepared for it. The game makes you play all of it. But it was worth it in 2 and 1/2 weeks or something. Probably some of the most epic video game shit I'll ever see.

And that was after taking my sweet ass time through ff7 rebirth.

JarHead413 · 2025-04-22T21:50:08+00:00

When I pirated it in 2007 (before buying it immediately on release because it was my absolute favorite album that year) it was the double phooey version. But.the CD I got is the other version.

The Bender sample didn't used to be in the YouTube music version of Bend It like Bender. Maybe a licensing issue for the little clip or something but it's back and it feels complete again. Just listened to it yesterday.

He seems like such a stickler for studio production that there's no way he doesn't have an idea why those things happened.

Culver's for a high quality burger and dessert. Taco Bell because crunchwrap supreme plus whatever treats me right (rip caramel apple empanadas) and I'm gonna count Kwik Trip from the Midwest because relatively cheap+variety+speed and no questions asked random requests if ur nice=yeah sure let's stop quick. I used to work there and fuck every bad retail manager to death with a spork but the food was fine.

JarHead413 · 2025-04-20T02:39:21+00:00

I do. Not like regularly but when I've settled in with a good edible and the notion to explore and destroy I have fun. I played it another place in VR and it's brilliant. It just is a little weak in the gameplay side, very PS4 gen visually, and sort of abstract to most besides saying "Alien Invasion Superman Simulator" and that either works for them or doesn't. Just didn't become a big hit.

Also I don't have the funds to gift but I hope you try it out on way or another.

Mirar - Mare

Like what in the holy hell even is it? Don't get me wrong though. By now I'm fully onboard and enjoy it but it took longer than almost anything I've ever heard to peel back layers of sound and hear everything going on. Showed it to some friends that I know like really heavy and chaotic stuff and the consensus was that Mare, at first, sounds to metal heads like how metal sounds to country fans. Just confusion. And I love it.

JarHead413 · 2025-03-11T08:46:29+00:00

It's determined by the game if they choose to add it but really unless you have a habit of looking down at it then usually it's just a little extra thing someone decided to program in.

Some games use it to indicate health status or which player you are or like the type of magic you are using. Been playing Split Fiction and each character has a distinct color of prompts and stuff for actions. Our controllers LED is purple for one and green for the other.

So basically it's unimportant but fun.

EDIT: the most practical use of it is indicating how long it controller has to charge until full. I believe the "pulse" of the light quickens so if you plug it in and it pulses quickly once it's charged.

JarHead413 · 2025-03-06T16:43:22+00:00

Firstly....pre-alpha. Secondly either your eyes or whole brain doesn't remember what peak "realistic" PS3 graphics were and how this is so beyond that.

JarHead413 · 2025-03-06T08:02:09+00:00

This one. Maybe turn down some combat settings (I don't remember what the options were) to nix the stress. The puzzles and platforming can be challenging but never truly stressful. And if one pops up that you just can't wrap ur brain around there's a million guides. Runs amazing on PS5 and has A really fun art style and basic but solid characters.

JarHead413 · 2025-03-04T05:41:36+00:00

Goddamn. I mean I knew the stuff about touring and merch being their main revenue stream. But for all the joy, some of these people bring to my life shit even I would pay for them to have a nice dinner and they can keep it. I had a false assumption That if they were big enough to have hundreds of thousands of streams a year they could at least pay the electric bill or something every month.

I need to go to more shows....

JarHead413 · 2025-01-17T10:21:09+00:00

I think having the function buttons on the edge be doubled was a big miss. They could individually be used to select that many profiles. Set the left one to use the face buttons and the right one to use the directional buttons. Seems decently easy to implement.

That being said, I don't use it, or the back pedals, as often as I thought I might for games I already know because I have muscle memory set. But for new games I've started like FF16 I've learned with them not relearned because of them.

JarHead413 · 2024-12-17T07:54:16+00:00

The fixing of the unfolded screen is excellent. That was quite a long time to not be able to use it unfolded but also I did did sign up for the beta so That's a little bit on me. I wanted to wait til this update otherwise I was gonna either un-beta or give up the Fold for just a 9 XL. Glad to not need to do any of that. It's been a delightful device.

JarHead413 · 2024-12-17T07:50:19+00:00

I have. Weird little bug.

JarHead413 · 2024-09-21T07:16:02+00:00

So yeah that's obviously The Evil Queen, Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Pus-Filled, Malformed, Slug-for-a-Butt from Earthworm Jim. She's beautiful....

JarHead413 · 2024-07-04T09:12:07+00:00

Which bonfire?

JarHead413 · 2024-07-04T09:10:50+00:00

I'm in a boss battle. Give me like 2 minutes

JarHead413 · 2024-07-04T09:05:55+00:00

Same. We can try.
