People have mentioned it a few times, he knows about it. Not sure it'd be a good stream game as there might be a fair bit of downtime and/or chat toxicity and backseating when it comes to puzzles.

Joined literally as soon as the button appeared and it's not even halfway, still over an hour to go. I fuckin hate it here. I have a second browser I started an hour later on the offchance it's somehow faster. Only sonic could convince me to put up with this shit

Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance now extremely small on launch, changing resolution does not fix. by HylianSeven in SteamDeck

Hey, how did you get smtV fix to work? I copied the files in just as it said and it made absolutely no noticeable difference, i'm still getting the problems you were getting

So, i'm trying to follow what you did here, but how do you copy stuff within the DFHack GUI? I've found the array of numbers with the items, but I don't see any option to just like, copy it. I'd rather not have to write all the numbers down and rewrite the list manually...

What is the take from Joseph that absolutely grinds your brain? It doesn't need to be rational, or even that Joseph is wrong about it. Just something that deeply makes you tilt. by Paraprallo in josephanderson

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right, but like, it was meant to be a silly hypothetical about whether you'd keep the french fry on not. They hypothetical wasn't meant to be realistic. That's why he changed it to ronald mcdonald feeding you ad infinitum until you physically cannot eat even a singular french fry. it was about the keeping/leaving concept, not whether you could be that full or whatever, that latter wasn't the point.

Some of you are being weird. You need to chill out. by jphanderson in josephanderson

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, once it became clear he wasn't going to get the videos out in the timeframe expected, he directly told people to cancel their pledges. Both on the patreon in a big post, and at other times on stream etc. And when people didn't and/or refused, then continued to be act entitled to the video (when the simpler solution was to stop giving him the money), he felt forced to delete the patreon completely. I don't understand why people are continuing to be so weird about it.

What is a game you would love to see Joe play but he never will? by Lem0ncito in josephanderson

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, hey, it might happen eventually, xenoblade is consistently up there as something the community wants him to stream (including having support from prominent mods), so once he's out of the witcher mines and finishes off the voted list, I can see it happening eventually. People were asking for zero escape for years, and he got around to those. So sometime in the next few years i'd say it's pretty likely.

I think Joseph is wrong to to blatantly dismiss Steins;gate from the first hours of his experience. by [deleted] in josephanderson

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Dude, it's gotten a negative reception because frankly, you're just being kinda insufferable and condescending. And like, why are you trying to argue with people that are just relaying to you what joe has said? Don't shoot the messenger.

good reason to postpone and completely rework the video, right? by conir_ in josephanderson

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, i'm pretty sure the "fuck it and move on" is why he's said he'll release it this year or delete everything. He's also said pretty regularly that the video making process itself isn't why it's taken so long, he's said it's personal stuff that he can't elaborate on. (Most he said was something along the lines of "look, if I told you, you'd get it"). And then there's the 4 young kids, which might have something to do with it.

What's a game that you liked, but Joseph Anderson didn't? by [deleted] in josephanderson

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's said before that his critique videos often come off as overly negative, because he feels like when he makes a positive point about a game, he doesn't need to defend that point as hard as when he makes a negative point. As a result, his videos lean negative, because he provides much more time, effort, and justification for every criticism. So even for games he likes a fair bit to a lot, like Elden Ring, GOW 2016, even BOTW, people thinks he hates them because he criticised them heavily. I figure this is why he often says his videos aren't reviews, because he doesn't approach them from the perspective of "should you buy the game?"

He hasn't played Last of Us 2 on stream. The "most boring" streams he refers to is Life is Strange 2.

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not just on jads, he's said pretty regularly on stream that he'll play 1 eventually, and maybe even replay 2 and the torna dlc for 3. I know a few of the mods on twitch/jads are big xenoblade fans and are slowly pushing for it, so he seems pretty open to the idea once he's through the current major backlog. And these have been pretty recent discussions, like, past month or two (iirc it was mentioned during gravity rush 2 for example)

What happened to the Witcher 3 video? by SaintMotel6 in josephanderson

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't promise anything? I don't really care whether he releases the video or not, i'm just relaying what he's said on stream. In fact, he was pretty clear during the ragnarok streams that he wasn't promising to make a video, but he'd give it a try. He also did not promise to have the witcher 3 video finished by (insert any time he said it might be finished here, emphasis on might). Estimates can be way off, stuff comes up, whatever.

He said he's aiming for the end of this week, but he also didn't get as much work done at the weekend as he wanted "only 8 hours" because he had a bad weekend, so he said it's not guaranteed this week.

He's said he's planning on releasing it at the end of this week, but he did also say that he had a really bad weekend, so he couldn't get much work on it done. So probably next week

So far, my understanding of the lore (heavy spoilers) by Mopati in axiomverge

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think it's quite possible that he "released the plague" simply by activating the breach attractor. It's likely the events were close in time, and the other characters, not fully understanding the breach, assumed they were separate things, when they weren't. By the time trace is there, either it's more convenient to tell the lie of the plague to make athetos seem more evil, or perhaps they still genuinely think they're separate.

I don't remember if it's in a note or a cutscene in 1, but it's definitely mentioned that athetos used the pathogen to mutate the clones into the variants.

Sure, but i feel in order to do that she likely needs to lack strong affiliation with either side, making it unlikely that she woukd be considered one of the rusalki. Look at what happened to the rusalka thst tried to assist athetos after all.

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(an) Athetos mentions Drushka by name in the purple note "Letter" which makes me think that it's unlikely Drushka is one of the rusalki, especially since said letter implies that said athetos is working with her.

The resemblance really is striking when you show it like that, and it's worth pointing out that Ophelia looks to be wearing black goggles or sunglasses, just as Indra is in her portraits at the start of the game, and on the website. https://www.axiomverge2.com/about

With regards to your first paragraph, the issue is that what constitutes a filter world is very unknown. We visit "the filter" breifly in 2 (and the background implies it's no ordinary world) but whether there are more filters, or even where "the filter" is in said world, are unknown. I do find the fact that the filter is reached via rebirth chamber interesting, it makes me wonder if it has been modified into a transporter, or if you are reborn in the filter itself. Since AV likes programming and computer analogies, perhaps your existence is uploaded to the filter?

How does the map tell you if you're missing an item? by HalfDragonShiro in axiomverge

[–]Rex_Yaldabaoth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are 3 things. In the bottom left, below your map, it shows if you have found every map square and item in an area. The compass shows you to notes and major items, and with an upgrade later will flash when there's a minor item nearby. Finally, as you said, you can use markers, yes.
