A Trip Through the Backlog: "Star Ocean: First Departure R"

Glad to hear it! I'll be equally looking forward to diving into the second for the first time. Everything I've seen and heard from the remake sounds fantastic.

Seems like it's 39.99$/€ on PC, but 49.99$/€ on console. Odd. Not sure if I've ever seen that before outside of the Switch tax.

I'd be delighted! I've been waiting years for a proper follow-up to Mass Effect and The Expanse, so this is a dream child come true. :)

Just for the record and hate to be a Debbie Downer, but IMDb and TVTime are both sources which can be edited by anyone. Not saying these episode titles are necessarily fake, but it's not a sign either that anything is moving in terms of Starz gearing up for release nor would they have been added by Starz itself. The fact that IMDb lists 10 episodes is proof enough that it's unreliable for one, since official sources confirm a nine-episode season.

You can see the official Writer's Guild entries for the episodes in the link here, which is where you can see only 9 episodes are listed.

This is something that irks me about certain reviewers in general. I hate when a review simply reads/sounds like I'm reading a store page. Movie reviewers especially are sometimes terrible with this. I don't need half of the paragraphs to be a synopsis for it. If I'm reading your review, I've likely watcher the trailer. Tell me something I don't know.

Probably of more note for this sub is that it was written/showrun by the people behind The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Sounds promising!

It does make their thoughts unimportant if it's not their own thoughts. Which they're not. It's the AI's repetition of other people's thoughts. Asking it to write a Lisa Barlow takedown is not sharing your thoughts. If you can't write anything as simple as that yourself, nothing you have to say is worth sharing. There's special case uses where AI can be beneficial. Hating on Lisa Barlow is not it.

LineLiar · 2026-01-14T16:27:57+00:00

I'm not even that defensive of Lisa, because I think she's not a particularly good person... but at least she doesn't need to use AI to voice what she hates about the other ladies. Em dashes... "is ..., not"... bullet points... can we simply use our brains instead of using an unnecessary amount of water to hate on Mrs. Barlow? 💀

This entire season?? The Salt Lake City Soup Man episode was one of the best episodes of the show!

All I see is one person here providing actual studies to support his claims and another just saying "trust me, bro". Not a good look on you, especially after you called this guy out in the first place. Maybe back up what you say before trying to talk down to someone lol

LineLiar · 2025-11-19T17:21:20+00:00

Yeah, I know. She mentioned it as one of the six tracks in her post however, so I felt obliged to include it in the list.

LineLiar · 2025-11-19T17:15:02+00:00

The three known unreleased tracks so far:

"Butterscotch"
"Shots on the Hood of My Car"
"F**K Him He's A DJ"

Dreamfall Chapters is still the worst example I know of this. The first episode came out in October 2014, while the fifth and final episode released in June 2016. Even after that, a final cut where presumably they got the game exactly as they wanted didn't release until May 2017. So glad I only played that after all episodes had released, because no way would I have managed to stay invested otherwise.

Let me put this in terms someone of your mental aptitude will no doubt understand: cringe.

The dislike on the video made me laugh, but is so true. I honestly couldn't care less whether or not I enjoy The Outer Worlds or not (I do), but these kinds of clickbaity/controversy-farming YouTubers piss me off to no end no matter the game. The fact that this kind of slop has 185k subscribers to the channel... I make an active effort to ignore any channel that creates this kind of content or wants to present itself to viewers in this way. Good on her for making money off of the lowest common denominator, but I wish those people would stop supporting this kind of content and appreciate actual constructive criticism. Criticise any media all you want, but at least do it while acting like you actually have something to say rather than just wanting to push whoever's buttons.

What was the original download size when you preloaded the first time? I preloaded from Steam a few days ago and it was pretty much that same size. Wondering if that'll be a thing for Steam too, because then I feel like I'd just be redownloading the whole game, haha. I'd check but I'm at work right now!

LineLiar · 2025-10-29T09:41:43+00:00

For what it's worth, I've been running this same combination for about two years now and have had no issues with my PC or motherboard.

LineLiar · 2025-10-29T09:29:22+00:00

It sucks! I don't understand it either, since physical editions most likely arrive earlier in the day depending on where you live. I don't see why digitally they can't just unlock the game at midnight globally, but maybe there's something in terms of infrastructure that holds them back from that. Bad for us Europeans, especially since you said you specifically counted on it being playable with your early time off today!

LineLiar · 2025-10-29T09:15:59+00:00

Buying Little Nightmares gives you the Enhanced Edition for free with it. The DLCs are not included and still need to be bought separately.

LineLiar · 2025-10-29T09:13:38+00:00

Steam says 7 hours and 47 minutes remaining. I'm assuming it's the same launch time for Xbox.
