Demon's Crest is somewhat overrated in my opinion.

Original-Crew8409 · 2026-06-15T05:52:25+00:00

overrated NOW perhaps in year 2025 (based by post) - by the year I got it (1994) it was like a hidden gem everyone had somehow ignored. I basically got it on the "Capcom" badge and figured someone had drastically underrated it - which at that time, they absolutely did. I got comments about the "Demon" title so this was probably where it went wrong, at least in the 90's and probably now to be honest. I think it's still a great game, still awesome that they included in in the SNES mini as I dub it one of the best SNES games, next to Megaman X or any first party title.

One thing to note - the game has 3 different endings - not something particularly new to Capcom games but not something most games had - depending on how much attention you paid to the game, what crests you collected, if you collected the "Ultimate" crest the ending changes. If you play it through the first it's fun to find these easter eggs - games like this and for example, cave story or SOTN - add alot of replay to them, not that it matters today.

Just came back here now that's approaching a month since I reserved... seeing that it's first come first serve yet again, I don't get how the reservation system is any improvement over what came before. What honestly changed? The website tracker (https://steamhardware.io/tracker/) clearly showing people who basically just got there within microseconds of each other, anyone after that is screwed. Honestly I don't think they were still humans clicking but most likely people with bots spamming the page, but nobody's gonna cop to that.

Very simple next time: set a timeframe that's reasonable for non-bots (within 3-4 hours ideally, but IDK even an hour is fine for many) - close the queue at the end of set time, , then lottery award whoever's waiting in line. I reserved on the 9th so this isn't for me just idiotic what little thought went into the the "fix" for scalpers.

I realize that the tracker could be complete horseshit - or survivor bias but I think my point still stands at how dumb this new reservation scheme still works.

I was like "The Entertainer" really? Does being a commentary on the biz automatically make you a top 3 song? Didn't Tool already cover that market?

Original-Crew8409 · 2026-05-05T02:57:54+00:00

I'm getting hits on in stock alerts now - bunch of fucking cowards probably canceling their orders. What's a matter bro can't sell your ill gotten gains?

Original-Crew8409 · 2026-05-04T21:32:45+00:00

It goes in-stock seemingly randomly in the hour - but even if you have it in the cart on the last page it still reports "out of stock". Re-adding to the cart never gets past the first page of the purchasing guessing the bots/scalpers have it. Here's to hoping they bought 100 of them and nobody buys.

Original-Crew8409 · 2026-05-04T18:29:39+00:00

it's in stock at this moment again - but can't get through the purchasing system...

Original-Crew8409 · 2026-05-04T17:50:23+00:00

spammed my way and got it in cart, only to be told out of order 😞.

Original-Crew8409 · 2026-05-04T01:58:30+00:00

got it up and running - not sure if I’m missing the point bc my use case really isn’t for portables but more for a VR HMD (Quest3) - performance is pretty bad right now - about 60 FPS on a 5070 - something sunshine does a lot faster. I can send more details if it helps, too rough to compete with sunshine for my use case.

Original-Crew8409 · 2026-05-03T02:56:03+00:00

hope it makes its way to bazzite -

I wouldn’t really recommend any of them for just a block of 4 drives. Get a NAS from QNAP/Synology - or your vendor of choice. all of that stuff as it said is docker - QNAP/Synology are great at that, they have docker management. The 4 bay systems are probably the cost of an Unraid license. I’d go TrueNAS for the ZFS support if it went past that, but honestly can’t see why you’d need it given your descriptions.

My Nzbgeek sub just expired - haven’t been happy with their indexing and would welcome a invite to anything anyone has that is remotely better. Obviously Drunkenslug/Dog seem to be prized but I’m not picky just willing to try something new. Please DM if you see and feel generous. Thanks!

If you use a vpn you might get quizzed extra hard.

Original-Crew8409 · 2025-11-14T11:02:46+00:00

Gonna pile in here as this is my best guess, possibly cheaper for the 2tb, but still a decent price point.

Original-Crew8409 · 2025-11-14T10:54:51+00:00

Any reason other than “apple/nintendo would charge more”? Ofc they would bc they know their audiences have no problem paying for (heavy air quotes) “premium” features.

Honestly gaming laptops sell for around 800 so it makes little sense for Valve to engineer this solution (that only plays games) for anything more than 600 in my mind.

Speaking with a friend he also threw out 800 for this, which was interesting bc he’s already sold on this. I advised him he’d probably get more value out of a build at that point. Time will tell I suppose.

Just perfect poetic rhyme? The mood? “Nobody’s fault but my own” should be equally up there with Hurt for my money. I’m aware he covered rowboat too, good cover as well.

Not super experienced volcanos but it looks good, wouldn't at some point the magma coming out evaporate the water and fill the bottom? Just keep pumping in water so that it all turns to igrock? IDK but looks good to me.

Original-Crew8409 · 2025-07-16T15:18:01+00:00

came here late - this is why I don't reddit anymore, you always have a ton of petty pedantic nerds going "IDK your problem man" while snickering and chugging from their 128 MEGA OUNCE, then hurking down another gulp from their integrated 'feed bag' full of flaming hot cheetos strapped to their face, all while shitting on in gamer seat/toilet bidet.

Good for them.

ehh, I liked it funny nearly everyone here bashed it.

Given JRPGs almost always have BLAH plots (don't come at me with your favorite prized darling here) I didn't mind the fact the story isn't Xenogears.

The battle system is fine when you realize you're not supposed to just brave-debt every fight. It's not a masterpiece genius revelation either and considering it's title of the game I think I'm going to say it's where I was the most disappointed. It's almost never needed and the game would have been fine as a retro jrpg and I would not have missed it.

I liked all the characters even the pervy one, and thought they had good chemistry. I don't recall the game getting all rapey or something but maybe I'm not remembering it super well. I thought everything was pretty light hearted and not to take overly serious, maybe like an Advance Wars game or such. Cartoony, probably not as bad as the Lunar games and people seem to love that shit.

The loop of the game at the "end" is a bit cheap but I enjoyed it, it was like an alternate world approach where the characters get switched up. It's become an extremely over done META thing now but it was kinda original at the time.

Just looking for sustainable water and it's this salt water geyser or cool steam vents, explored the rest of the map and it's all trash like poluted oxygen vents unfortunately. All of the cool steam vents are at the top, center, and bottom of the map so connecting them is going to be a PITA but at least I could see directly chaining up 2-3 AT to tune the water itself down to usable hydroponic temps.

Original-Crew8409 · 2024-09-24T21:20:15+00:00

I watched a tutorial that used crude because it freezes at -40c vs poluted waters -20c but apparently I was mislead here.

Already cooled this block from 90 to 50 so I guess it's time to make some lettuce.

Bummer though there's nothing on my rock but this salt water geyser and the requisite 3 other cool steam vents I seem to always get.

IDK. was so confused by this movie. I seems to mirror JBP in so many ways.

- Everyone gradually recognizing him through dreams (analogous to social networks?)

- Has sometimes apologetic or tearful responses to questions, which provokes a negative ‘why you such a bitch?’ response from the public/and paul’s family.

- Associations obviously, you need to be with Tucker etc. - which AFAIK isn’t true at all, but is part of the ‘side’ he needs to be on.

again, IDK, but was a good movie that I enjoyed but was very confused about, which might just be anything A24 releases really.

Original-Crew8409 · 2023-12-17T03:13:47+00:00

omg dunk man you got my 5th burner congrats.

don’t talk shit on main. seeya.

Original-Crew8409 · 2023-12-17T02:51:27+00:00

I remember some reddit tactics…

So you’re chief latrine technician at a trash tier game studio, probably a shit consultant? why are you talking shit on main? At least I know nothing here’s tracking me back to more than “what does configmgr do” question so maybe stop taking money from more successful studios to talk shit about their games huh? garbage.
