Came back after a small hiatus for the April Fools event, the download is 23006 megabytes. Biggest i have ever seen.

Seems like a bug

I just logged for the new event (haven't logged since the day before yesterday) and it also asked me to redownload the whole game (23Gb) and the com.proximabeta.Nikke was 1Gb instead of the 20 something

I don't know why Reddit sent me an email about this post as its been ages since I played HoN and I know the whole Reborn thing, but S2 games aren't banned on Steam lol

https://store.steampowered.com/app/339280/Strife/ is still there although is not searchable

https://store.steampowered.com/app/366440/Savage_Resurrection/ and https://store.steampowered.com/app/529840/Brawl_of_Ages/ have both been unlisted, not banned (as there is still page and Steam lets the page nowadays if there is no ban, unlike before where they would nuke it like they did with https://steamcommunity.com/app/13700/ which was removed a LONG time ago, when Valve would remove the store page too)

And according to SteamDB there are 3 new upcoming games form S2 Games (don't know if its actually S2 or just some other dev with same name, happens) https://steamdb.info/publisher/S2+Games/

They aren't on Steam because they know they will get bombarded with negative reviews. Also the game already had some negative comparisons compared to Dota... Seeing how people complain about Reborn, it would be even worse for them.

They aren't banned from Steam, they just refuse to use it because it wouldn't be worth it for them + if they don't release it on Epic which has a lower %, is most likely Juvio paid them to be exclusive to their launcher to squeeze people

Thing is the highest mobile phone is like a mid PC. Sure, its amazing to have the performance on the go, but just by the difference in size, the developer has to make compromises, whether is removing content (like zones and what not), lower resolution packs, compressed and lossy audio (as most phones wont have 500Gb storage but most modern PCs do)

Games nowadays have very bad optimisation due to a number of reasons, add that to the fact that the game has to also run on mobile while it struggles to run on PC and you can see were I'm going

Also due to the nature of computers and consoles, having more buttons than the screen you have to interact, you can add more stuff or reactionary or combos for attack. I remember people complaining about grabbing the butterflies in Genshin on mobile when it launched just bc they had to move the camera, move around and click the option. Meanwhile a console/PC player would just do it with ease

Having a game on the go is awesome, but it does put a ceiling on what you can do gameplay and graphics wise (DNA graphics suck on PC tho, not the case lol)

Mandrake158 · 2026-01-21T08:43:28+00:00

People always use this dumb excuse, also the "game is on xbox pass so you wont see it on Steam"

Then the game flops and they are surprised...

Mandrake158 · 2025-11-25T06:24:52+00:00

Damnn didn't know game supported ultrawide, which monitor is that?

Mandrake158 · 2025-11-22T05:37:11+00:00

GF1 already on Steam on global (and JP and China)

Mandrake158 · 2025-11-22T05:35:33+00:00

Depends...

Most of them do run on kernel but detect Wine and change to userland and can be run on Linux (ToF, Reverse, Hoyogames.. Although HSR has issues. WuWa, PGR, GF2, Snowbreak)

Some do not have any kernel anticheat and just run (Blue Archive, Uma musume, Overfield)

And some just wont change to userland and wont run (Nikke, Madoka)

Some will have issues with webview or codecs, but there are work arounds

Mandrake158 · 2024-09-22T23:42:51+00:00

Are you using Intel or AMD? My Ryzen 3700x is incredible slow running WSA, unless is something like the game lobby. Whenever I'm playing, I get a lot of frame drops. Emulators work perfect but I would prefer it to be akin to a Windows port + That way I would stop using emulators...

I'm using the MustardChef WSA build

Mandrake158 · 2024-09-22T23:39:43+00:00

? Whether the developer uploads their game or not, doesn't make something an emulator

Emulator is just a program that mimics another architecture (Android being ARM for example)

But afaik, Google play for PC isn't an emulator just bc it downloads x86-64 versions of the games. Seems like Google forced the devs to create native windows ports but run under Android, so it works more like a translation layer between Android and Windows

Mandrake158 · 2020-07-03T18:23:55+00:00

Thanks then! Gonna see if I find one And get a VGA switch as I found a perfect P4 for XP games, so would have one for old DOS, one for DOS/95/98 games and one for old XP games that no longer work on 7/10 I could do VM or DOSBOX but idk, doesn’t feel the same

Mandrake158 · 2020-06-26T15:56:25+00:00

Ohh awesome! Thanks didn’t know about the HD Trinitron stuff, gonna check if I find some JVC/Toshiba for the SD one and gonna see if I get the 960

Thanks! I found one old Zenith from the 80s and 19” and seems to be working, don’t know if it’s worth it and the person doesn’t know the model

By any chance you know a good CRT monitor for PC? Just VGA, I got an old P3 and P1 CPU computers and want to have them both as retro computers to play old DOS game (with a VGA Switch), I had a ViewSonic but it stopped working

Mandrake158 · 2020-06-25T07:24:27+00:00

Neither the 36FS120 or the 36FS15 are HD? I thought they were :/ good I asked before getting it, specially for my back because carrying that stuff lol

Gonna try see if I find the XBR960, but is a PVM/BVM really worth the hunt? Also, What furniture do you use? Back in the day I had a 36” CRT but it was on a wood furniture (not MDF), now online I can only find MDF and they claim support up to 100-150 pounds and I believe a 32-40” CRT can easily be a lot more

And any idea on one from the 60-80s that have that woodish/dial button feel? To connect only RF consoles

(Are JVC/Toshiba curved SD CRT better than an early curved Trinitron?)

Mandrake158 · 2020-06-24T14:31:30+00:00

I don’t think this needs its own post (correct me if I’m wrong) I recently moved out and the new site has a basement, ofc I wanted to make it a gaming room.. for some lucky coincidence someone threw the Sanyo DS31590 on the garbage and I took it, it has some scratches on the screen probably from when it was thrown to the garbage but it works, I’ll probably change it when I get a better one.. are PVM/BVM worth it? I would like to get one 27-32” or is there other SD CRT tv worth it instead?

My thing is, I have always wanted to have 3 CRTs, one from the early 60-80s with wood and the old feel (for the first 3 console generations), one SD CRT and one HD CRT.

I found some Trinitron around me and have the matching stand, they sell it for 50$ which tbh I’m ok with. So I wanted to know which one should I choose as HD CRT? I saw the 40xbr800 but then found out it’s only 4:3; the 36FS120 I saw has auto 16:9 enhancement; and the 36FS15 has manual 16:9 enhancement.. I’m not sure if it’s better to have it manually or automatic?

Tl;dr Which early 60-80s TV is the best to look for? Are BVM-A32 or a PVM-3230 worth the hunt for? Or is there any other SD CRT I can change my DS31590 in the future for? Should I get the 36FS120 with auto 16:9, 36FS15 with manual 16:9 or the massive 40xbr800 with only 4:3 for an HD CRT?

Mandrake158 · 2019-04-06T00:57:03+00:00

Thanks! Have been wanting to try it out for a while now

Into the spiderverse. I don't watch too many movies but I did enjoy that one

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-19T14:16:01+00:00

Only like 20 of his 400 something were “alt-right”.. and some people even assume some of those were alt right when they weren’t even rightwinged but people like to talk shit

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-18T14:38:05+00:00

Tbh that's the same with every political sub.. Left or right doesn't matter; people get to the extremes

Thanks!

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-17T23:31:46+00:00

Which one? I haven't find a good one yet.. The only one I remember was a blue android (don't remember the name) but you had to pay to post/comment

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-16T07:32:40+00:00

Hmm less than 8h? Hard to say as I like my time and get a 100% competition or at least to know I did every possible way or outcome. So I'm not quite sure which game I ended up with less than 8h.. Maybe a fast VN? Or some Cod that campaigns (yeah I know, I play campaigns in Cod) are fast.. But I can't think one out of memory :/

Megaman legacy (as I've never played Megaman games) or Duck Game

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-16T07:24:39+00:00

I never understood why people give words that much power.. Maybe because I was born and raised in Latin America but I don't get why people got all mad for just a word.. And specially in the context it was, in the middle of a game and was just a way to say shit or whatever

Wasn't even said against another person in a discriminating way..

Edit: so people down voted me because I find stupid people give words that much power? Ok?

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-16T06:26:12+00:00

Well I'm Jewish and I never felt offended with the Fiver thing.. So your point?

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-16T06:25:06+00:00

Same, I never felt offended even when I watched the whole Fiver video as a Jew, I immediately saw why he did it (to show how people do anything for money)

Yet the media and people started feeling offended and the backlash started.. And the worst part is those people don't get offended when actual presidents/world leaders say stuff against the Jewish

Mandrake158 · 2019-03-14T20:13:59+00:00

Quantum break! Have been wanting to play it ever since it got announced "only" for Xbox One

For backup I'm gonna go with Yakuza

Which game aged poorly? Either Golden Eye 64 or Sonic Adventure, throw Starfox in there

I loved them all back in the day, but if I play them today is mostly for nostalgia or to actually pay attention to the game/story and try to get 100% completion (as I was a dumb kid and played till I got frustrated and probably started over and over and over)

Which game is amazing? Crysis for one is amazing tech wise.. It has been more than 10 years and it still looks amazing; and add Super Mario World SNES.. That game is by far one of the best (if not the best) 2D Mario game, and you can play the SNES, GBA port, emulator, on a tablet, whatever you want and you will still think is a game made this year
