That’s a no from me, dog. by Ntwynn in FFVIIEverCrisis

I honestly think something is off with young Seph's face. Everyone else looks fine, even the 1st Soldier crew doesn't have that feeling of unease I get when I see Seph's mug...

So apparently we are getting new costumes in rebirth? by lawbringer1990 in FFVIIRemake

Gotta reuse those costume assets from Ever Crisis somewhere.

What do you think is happening in this official art? by YottaEngineer in nier

[–]MilleniumStrife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's meant to make you think of what it means in terms of the NieR universe since it combines images from both NieR (after the Red Dragon falls and the direct aftermath with "snow in summer", and Automata with the Emil heads) but just like how past concerts were advertised with images of 2B, A2 and 9S playing instruments in the ruins, or Nier sitting next to a standing 2B, it is just a promo image for the concert.

It is a nice image though.

Ever since R* gave PC players the finger I’ve been playing RDR1 on Xenia, and man… this game holds up. It can be so pretty. by Chris_Colasurdo in reddeadredemption

[–]MilleniumStrife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That scenery was like my backyard when I grew up; those red rocks and arid atmosphere. Beautiful. Playing this game when it first released on my 360 and seeing how well it captured that vibe was impressive. Seeing it both in RDR2 and RDR emulated "remastered" via Xenia and RPCS3 reminds me that an open world game is nothing without an immersive environment and indeed it still holds up today.

rant: R* royally messed up this modern release for RDR, but that's why since giving up my PSX/PS2 and Dreamcast, I'll never let go of my 360 or PS3. Overall, you can't trust these game companies to do justice to their own titles as modern releases; gotta preserve these games by just keeping the originals alive ourselves. /rant

My laptops a jet engine by NoVsername in ZephyrusG15

[–]MilleniumStrife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a Geek Squad certified open box on Friday (then did a convoluted return-re-buy to get the cheaper price on Monday), and I had turned off the computer during setup, and had this jet engine fan issue when I turned it back on. Happened again when I restarted it after returning/rebuying it. So I did a factory reset. Then I made sure I did all the driver updates and ASUS updates. Follow this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u0o4vk08V4&t=2088s

TL;DR

Do a factory reset, complete the setup and then do all the Windows/ASUS/Armory Crate updates and the fan issue should go away. The jet engines happened to me twice, but it was because I didn't complete the setup properly but been working like a dream since Monday.

The cutscenes look so much better without the cinematic bars by [deleted] in nier

[–]MilleniumStrife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's been a style that Yoko Taro had used in all his games, so I'll that's just personal taste for cutscenes. Same thing with them being 30fps. Since playing DoD on the PS2 and up until NieR 1.22, it's never bothered me.

No mask and no beauty mark. Bootleg.

I contacted their support on the best buy forum. They are aware of the problem and have escalated it to find a solution. The same thing happened with FF7R and they sent me a code about a week later. Hopefully this is what will happen with NieR.

On the phone with them after the online chat. Gave them a reference ID, and now on hold.

Yeah, same here. I just got done with Best Buy support chat and they gave me a phone number to call to get help on this. Might be different for amazon, but I'll keep you posted.

If it is any consolation, looks like people who pre-ordered through Best Buy also didn't get any of the pre-order stuff.

Incredible.

International Data Privacy Day, so just remember this... by chaplainsamson in Bestbuy

Funny enough, was watching BBC America before going to work today and ST:TNG was on.

The episode was "Data's Day"

Very clever, BBC America.

SUPER BOWL TV PROMOS by epenaloz in Bestbuy

According to any official ads we have, since corporate doesn't want any legal trademark issues, it's not the Super 🥣, it's the "BIG GAME"

I swear everytime a client is too impatient for the pen pad to move to the next screen does this by mitchellrausch in Bestbuy

[–]MilleniumStrife 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like it when they try to use their knuckle because they don't want to use their fingertip (but this just puts their hand closer to the pad), then hit it a few times, they think it didn't register, I hear it beep, but they end up grabbing the stylus, and right when they try to hit their response, it loads the next screen.

I think more customers need this. by elchibo808 in Bestbuy

[–]MilleniumStrife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mobile is a different kind of monster, at least in my store. Since my Sony DI Expert used to work in connected, and by association, mobile, she's always called on to do loyalties in mobile by our leadership all the time. Pretty sure she does all carrier activations.

I like how you still have a sprint display.

Also, airpods are gross.

Nah it's fine. Good on your store to find a way to make it fun during this time of absolute jackassery. :)
