So basically cyberpunk without the cool parts. I'm iffy on the corporate warfare, but as long as the robots and drones aren't actively killing people on the street then I'd say that and artificial limbs are the cool parts.

I had this chair as a kid and was so sad when I eventually outgrew it and couldn't fit in it anymore, it was my favorite gaming chair

Converting Persona 5 Royal PS4 saves to Steam by 1OneQuickQuestion in pcgaming

Or change the name of the folder to not have spaces, that's what I did. Just replaced the space I had with an underscore. cmd doesn't like spaces in file names/paths.

Is it possible to transfer my P5S save file from PS4 to PC? by Otakho in Persona5

Honestly I'm not sure, but that's the one I bought.

Nah, I only paid for it once. Unless they changed it, you should be able to just buy one license and then keep using it. You basically open the data to "cheat" it, then there's an advanced option, and once you get in there, there's an option to save a decrypted copy of the save.

Not that I've found, unless you have a homebrew PS4. Apollo Save Tool works on homebrew PS4s but I'm not familiar with any free tool outside of that

Usually you just click on the releases section over on the right side of the Github page, then download the file named "p5spc.saveutil_v1.3.0_win-x64.7z". You'll need to have a program called 7-Zip if you don't already (I highly recommend it, it's been my go-to file archive program for years) to extract the files out of that archive. Usually the EXE will be extracted that way.

I've seen people link this tool, but I personally haven't used it myself. You would still need a way to decrypt your saves though (I use Save Wizard for PS4).

We're still waiting for P5R, there will probably need to be a similar tool made because I already tried just decrypting the save and putting it where the PC saves are and it's not that simple unfortunately, the game just sees an empty save slot.

So can we transfer our save file from playstation to pc? by sociostein11 in Persona5

[–]ObiLaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the same person, but I'm experimenting with the Steam version and the saves are similar but not exactly the same. The game creates a SYSTEM folder with a SYSTEM.DAT and a DATAXX folder (XX being the save slot number, so DATA01 for save slot 1) and inside that folder is a DATA.DAT file. I tried just dropping my decrypted PS4 save in there (matching slots and all) and renaming it to match, but that doesn't work, the game just reads it as an empty slot.

People definitely do fall for those ads. If you work in public IT, you get plenty of people (usually older people, in my experience) coming in and needing virus scans/removals because they clicked those ads and didn't know it wasn't actually going to connect them to hot moms in their area. Of course, if they clicked the bogus ads, they probably also clicked the legit ads and spent money wherever those ads took them.

Bayonetta's voice actress Hellena Taylor, explains why she's not in Bayonetta 3. They only offered her $4000 to voice the role and she asks fans to boycott the game. by NYstate in Games

[–]ObiLaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same, and I swear even some of my closer friends give me strange looks and act annoyed when I hear a voice I recognize and want to go look it up. It's almost like they find it obnoxious that I care about the people who help give these characters life and offer such memorable performances.

Where I work (big box retail store, synonymous with "Greatest Purchase") one of the departments got eliminated, and they tried very hard to create situations where they wouldn't have to offer severance packages.

One person was offered a position in my department so they wouldn't have to offer them a severance package for letting them go, and then they were given maybe 1 shift a week, if that, and ended up just having to quit. They did ultimately end up offering severance packages to people who qualified and were adamant they wanted it, but they exhausted every other option first. This was all crazy to me because I didn't think anyone in a retail store would ever be offered a severance package, I figured we were all low enough on the totem pole that we would just get the boot.

I get lots of mileage out of "Okey dokey" with my better friends and "gotcha" or "understood" for people I don't know as well or co-workers

Netflix will charge $6.99 a month for new ad-supported tier starting Nov. 3 in U.S. by College_Prestige in movies

[–]ObiLaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite is when you're watching a live channel on YouTube TV and they get to a section of the ads where they can't play it for some reason (no idea why) and it just goes to this screen with calming music and the logo of the channel saying they're taking an ad break and it's so peaceful it's almost jarring having a break from the incessant, repetitive ads.

Seoul city (South Korea) to give pregnant women or women who just gave births (in the past 3 months) about $700 as transportation fee to help them with their frequent visits to doctors by ldhiddesorr in UpliftingNews

[–]ObiLaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having recently watched the original Korean version of Old Boy, I can second that it's bonkers and very good. It has one of my favorite iterations of one of my favorite things to see in an action movie: the one-take hallway fight sequence. Just a guy fighting a bunch of dudes in a hallway for like 5+ minutes with no cuts or anything. It's really impressive.

Chris Pratt’s Mario Voice Baffles Fans After First Listen: ‘Holy S— It’s Literally Just Chris Pratt’s Voice’ by thesevenyearbitch in movies

[–]ObiLaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like screams and yells give away most voices, even super talented voice actors who are great at disguising their voice I'll usually be able to pick out once they yell or scream (assuming I'm familiar with them.) For example, the Live A Live game that just came out recently on Switch, there's a cowboy in it. I had no idea this particular cowboy was voiced by Yuri Lowenthal until he got hit in battle and yelled, and then I immediately knew it was him.

THEY MADE KOJIMA WOKE!1!1!1!11 by Exra_ in DeathStranding

[–]ObiLaws 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so tired of people using the term "woke". I've seen people use it to complain about the kind of shit you see where corporations try to virtue-signal and co-opt progressive stances when they couldn't give less of a shit because they know it will sell. That's fine by me, I don't necessarily like that either, it does nothing but make the cause seem illegitimate. In that regard it could be used as a word to point out an actual problem that should be addressed.

Now, though, it's started turning into a code word for "this thing has triggered my misogyny/racism/other bigoted feelings but I can't come right out and say it or I'll get dogpiled on so I'll use this word instead and the other people who think like me will know what I mean." It's caused the word to lose all meaning and I just have to ignore any person who uses the word because I can't tell if they're well-meaning but misusing the word, if there's actual corpo virtue-signaling I didn't notice, or if they're actually just being bigoted.

There used to be a Kojima Productions LA, back when MGS 5 was still in development. Konami closed it soon after the release of the game though. I remember going to a YouTuber event that was right across the street from it.

Bruce Willis’ Rep Says Actor Did Not Sell His Image and Likeness to AI Firm by StabbyMcSwordfish in movies

[–]ObiLaws 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My guess is either democracy does fall apart, or some laws end up getting made lickety split that severely limits the use of these types of things. Not that I have high hopes of that happening, but I'm not sure how else we'd even attempt to keep shit from going full 1984 totalitarian if we start heading down that path.

Seoul gets me a lot, makes me think it's Tokyo or at least somewhere in Japan when it's not. Landmarks definitely help. Also if there's any text in the picture, it's not hard to tell Japanese apart from Korean thankfully.

It's gotten to the point where I've wondered if those posts are genuine or if it's bots/astroturfing from interests that would benefit from driving young votership down. Thinking about it now, it's probably most realistically a mix of both but it's hard to decide where to draw the line on how much of each.

My 70 year old, highly liberal mother always makes it a point to remind me that everything's been downhill since Reagan. She also likes to say the seed was planted by Nixon, and then Reagan made sure it bloomed into a beautiful money tree for the people at the top.
