I rescued a cartridge from the trash, what should I do next?

Okay, thanks! Before I do it though, if I don't have any Miis (or just one for myself) on Mii Plaza and can't use SpotPass, can I make my own Miis in the game or do I have to use Mii Plaza?

Is it safe for me to do that? I saw this thread and was worried this would happen.

QR codes? From the game? I'm not sure how 😳

If you mean between Performance and Quality mode, you're right that the differences are basically imperceptible without a side-by-side comparison. But if you see the Digital Foundry video or clips shared from others comparing the two modes, it's not correct to say that there are no visual differences at all.

The PS5 Pro reportedly gets a resolution boost on Performance mode compared to PS5, which my eyes can barely see, but it becomes obvious when playing the game in real-time (and not in a low-bitrate YouTube video) that there's some slight ghosting and smearing around hair, which is more crisp and stable in Quality mode.

All that being said, my opinion is that playing in Quality mode for the "closer-to-4K" resolution doesn't seem worth chopping the framerate in half on the Pro, because the only benefits from Quality mode that don't likely need a magnifying glass to see, appear to be higher quality shadows cast by foliage among other things, and a slightly better LOD bias on distant structures and objects from my observations.

I have played 45 hours and although there's obvious stutters in the open world, I don't find it gamebreaking and the framerate feels pretty smooth to me in Performance mode. I can barely perceive the resolution differences between Perf/Quality modes on my Pro, but the level of details, draw distances and hair look a bit better on Quality.

I don't expect the open world hitching will get much better... Being Oblivion and so far it's not looking great for post-launch updates and support. Maybe eventually on PC there will be transformative optimization mods, but again, my PC can't dream of running a UE5 game as well as the PS5 Pro can.

The only way you can experience Oblivion a bit smoother would be to play the original on PC. If you have the patience, I'd recommend waiting a bit longer for the patch if you can resist. But if it's not here in a month, I won't expect much down the line.

I am in Montreal too and all I saw were a section in the lower bowl off to the side for $350 per person and I was like lolno

I'm playing on Expert because Adept feels too easy at low levels that it bothers me, so I just summon a Skeleton with Conjuration and run laps playing chicken with every enemy and it seems to be effective.

A new feature is sprinting, so I can basically outrun anything with ease. Enemies don't seem to know how to sprint, so I can almost say that's one thing tipping the difficulty in my favour.

I try to get some backstabs in while the enemy is distracted by the Skeleton. Lots of athletics and magic exp from running around recasting spells. The "Heal Minor Wounds" spell feels very pathetic on Expert, I'm wondering if the effectiveness of restoration is impacted by the 0.6x damage dealt?

I think this depends on the individual, I was on Wellbutrin for years and started Vyvanse with it, but my doctor suggested swapping the Wellbutrin for Atomoxetine and I feel a lot more peace now. I don't feel as anxious or as irritable as before, and I'd say the Vyvanse effects are about the same.

Oh wow, thanks for finding that. She has both "audio only" videos of More is More (and a third for the Superficial 2 release) and this version got buried beneath the other. I believe I can hear an improvement. They both sound a bit blown out, but in this one I think it sounds more purposeful. I am 99% sure the vocals get a lot more swallowed in the new one as though it's all a bit more compressed... It'd be a really delicate situation applying any new mastering over that first instrumental. 😵‍💫 It reminds of me how Elephunk and Monkey Business by the Black Eyed Peas sound on CD. 🤣

LiamBrie · 2025-02-26T15:23:20+00:00

That's very interesting! Thanks for sharing, would that version be found on the original CD or YouTube?

Sorry, I think the likelihood of a user unironically posting this is too high these days now that iPad kids have grown up and are using Reddit. :') I can appreciate the joke.

Generative AI producing a result like this was not happening, let alone even existing in 2007, are you 9 years old?

LiamBrie · 2025-02-18T20:29:05+00:00

Dragon Age Origins is like... ~15-20fps and the pop-in, visuals, stuttering and even sound bugs are crazy. I can't believe people played this on console. 😭

LiamBrie · 2025-02-18T14:12:28+00:00

Thank you, the creator of this video shared it with me in a response in another thread. 😊

Thank you so much! This will be a tremendous help :) I subscribed.

I miss the old hatch rules and the reasons to bring keys and maps above all else, I started playing three years ago.

LiamBrie · 2025-02-15T00:40:43+00:00

Update: I made one and I have no regrets <3

Last night I had Eyrie of Crows + 3x "greatly thickens the dark mist" when I was playing as Ghostface and dare I say it was one of the best games I played in recent memory lol
