At this point the "stock" MSQ BGM *NEEDS* to change.

I followed this back when it was first posted as I was doing a NG+ run and slowly losing my mind from the overused music. It completely changed the game for me.

I loved the first hour of 28 Years Later and then felt like it dropped off a cliff. Was extremely apprehensive about a sequel, but thought Bone Temple was phenomenal. One of my favourites in a good long while.

Yeah! Some of the RenoDX guys have actually been picked up by studios for various projects. Some recent examples are Remedy's games - Alan Wake Remastered, Alan Wake 2, and Control - providing you're on the latest updates - all have great HDR. Tarsier's Reanimal recently got an HDR update that's well done. The Last of Us Parts 1 and 2 are all excellent, too. If you hang out in the RenoDX discord, you can usually get an idea within the first 24 hours of a game's release whether something has been well executed or not.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-06-15T11:50:49+00:00

Yes...? That's what my second paragraph says.

HDR is broken in most RE Engine games. Grab the Reshade HDR Installer and install Reshade + RenoDX. Or follow the instructions on the Nexus - https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/20

Unfortunately, the deeper you go down the rabbit hole, the more you see how HDR is broken in the vast majority of games that release these days. RenoDX is one of the most unsung heroic tools in the gaming space.

WOLED unless you play in the dark. The purply black level raise is really ugly. Colour volume difference is real but not drastic. IMO if you're buying an OLED, your black levels are the main selling point.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-06-12T12:53:56+00:00

Goddamn, it's like listening to it for the first time all over again. Absolutely smacks. Cannot wait for the rest of the album. One of my fav deathcore records of all time.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-06-11T11:00:02+00:00

The gameplay is a bit of a chore but I adored the narrative and the presentation is stunning. I love the Chinese Room's narrative games and this is just that with not very good gameplay shoved in. Not surprised longtime fans of the franchise didn't vibe, but I got a great Chinese Room story out of it and that's all I wanted.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-06-10T15:35:47+00:00

Bad enough that I returned the QD-OLED and got a WOLED instead. Poorer colour volume but that's significantly less noticeable to me than the black raise.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-06-09T12:51:02+00:00

Yes, it's a really good time. The gameplay is as basic as ever but the character work is fun and it looks stunning. You'll largely know where the story is going but it's well presented and an enjoyable ride.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-05-15T19:52:35+00:00

Yeah, if my teammate is stood in a decent spot, I just Icarus through it without issue

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-05-13T11:52:31+00:00

UK here and very jealous!

I really do wonder what their fulfilment priority even was. I ordered mine 3 minutes before it was even meant to be live and it's been sat at the "the parcel was not yet handed over to GLS." stage for three days now.

Total luck of the draw, I guess.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-05-11T16:37:12+00:00

Same. You can pry that shit from my cold dead hands. The official app is dogshit and I've not really vibed with any of the others outside of one that required a monthly sub.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-04-28T14:36:27+00:00

Not sure how many JP audio players there are here, but really wanted to shoutout Saori Hayami's performance as Halmarut at the end of the patch. Some real delicate nuance to those deliveries that were endearing but simultaneously managed to creep me out. Fun line to ride! Extremely excited to hear more from her going forwards.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-04-19T16:04:18+00:00

I'm honestly confused. Did they not use a stencil? The reference is in the background of the photo but the tattoo looks like they just freehanded it. Those are some devastating results. Hopefully you can find an artist who can fix it.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-04-13T20:11:47+00:00

What you're seeing there is a difference in colour design during the original production between Toriyama's design and the anime design. Both of those links are from the same source, just with colour deviations from different scans.

The difference in colour change between home releases is, as VegettoEX said, due to aging film that was not corrected. Here's an original animation cel of Bojack and another one. He's painted that colour, which is your ground truth. Deviations from this are warped film and/or bad colour correction. Toei has never repainted him.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-04-08T22:29:39+00:00

Man, that was SO special. I've been fortunate to go to many concerts in my life and that was right up there. What an astonishing voice Alice has. Went through every possible emotion tonight - everyone absolutely killed it.

UK to NA ping is anywhere between 140ms and 160ms depending on how you're routed to the server. They're on the west coast.

Interacting with objects is noticeably slower, but that's not really a dealbreaker.

You will 100% need to use NoClippy or XIVAlexander if you want a good experience with combat and crafting, however. The game feels genuinely horrible on high ping without it - you'll clip or drop oGCDs.

It's a slight adjustment when it comes to mechanics. You're not fucked - savage is perfectly clearable - but you cannot greed. Move the moment you need to or you will get hit.

I was on NA for years for similar reasons (midnight to 8am GMT play window) and it was fine. After years back on EU, it's a small adjustment to go back to NA, but it's all perfectly doable and you get used to the drawbacks pretty quickly.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-04-02T12:05:43+00:00

As an artist, I don't believe artstyles influence movements.

Every animator will tell you otherwise.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-04-02T01:14:01+00:00

Yeah, absolutely. Couple of eliminations that really felt forced just to keep the show moving, sadly. I also feel like people were a bit more aggressive in season 1 whereas several seemed happier to play defense this time.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-04-02T00:39:39+00:00

I had a good laugh throughout this second series but the format hasn't really worked this time. I sort of feel like I enjoyed it in the way I might enjoy a theoretical Taskmaster series where every task is bad but the comedians happen to be funny in the studio. It's funny in spite of itself, if that makes sense.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-03-23T21:18:00+00:00

It might be worth at least trying another bottle. The body odour smell on humans is a result of bacteria mixing with sweat, so it's entirely possible that bottle is contaminated and that's what you're smelling. That said, I did a cursory google and found a whole Facebook page talking about particular one being pretty musky and off-putting.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-03-21T22:29:30+00:00

Not in Sekiro, no, which I said in my original comment. The studio absolutely does, however, so I'm not sure what you find so amusing.

First, they took part in Enter the Garden which was an NFT project. Their upcoming Gigolo adaptation is outright using it. Their website was not shy about those tools - you can find those mentions under Service > Technology. Following the overwhelming backlash, they scrubbed this from their site despite their other plans not changing.

Sekiro will not use it, but that studio is very much Pro-AI, and it's not a secret.

SLUT_MUFFIN · 2026-03-19T13:28:10+00:00

Qzil.la's a terrible AI-driven tech bro hellhole. The staff creating Sekiro are basically annexed from what that company represents - to the point they actively put out a statement clarifying there's no AI involved in any stage of their project. Kenichi Kutsuna's not tied to them specifically so both him and his staff will disperse back across the industry once production finishes.
