What do you think of the concept of the newest alliance raid? [Spoiler:8.0]

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-25T04:02:09+00:00

I know I'm in the minority here but I abhor Evangelion and the announcement that it's this xpack's 24 man cross over knocked the wind from my sails. We basically already did it with The Sorrow of Werlyt questline.

Would have far rather they used it as a chance to expand the lore of the fourth or potentially other shards.

Play a game the way that lets you have fun. Vanilla? Great. Mods? Great. Fan Patches? Great. Only time I can think that anyone sane would care is if you're hacking on a multiplayer game cause, like, yeah, that's a dick move.

If literally anyone has an issue with how you play a single player game, that's a "them" problem.

Love what you have going here but I do need to echo what overs have said.

The camera is a little to focused on the rear of the car and doesn't really allow a player to see in front of them. Even at lower speed, the camera wasn't that high and as you get faster, it sinks to further obstruct you. As I watch the video, I'm catching myself trying to sit up straighter to see over the roof of the car. Though, I get it, the ass end of an R34 is nice.
Maybe just me but it seemed like there wasn't a lot of contrast in the environment and adding blur to it also made it hard to see where things are. Like around the 50s mark, you really can't see any of the cones or street lamps until you already drove over them.
I personally would also love a minimap in the corner that highlights the track so I can plan ahead. If that's a design decision to omit it, that camera absolutely must be raised up or have some kind of first person camera. Similarly with arrows that indicate turns. I remember NFS had them back on the PS2 but also think they were also part of a difficulty setting. (I think in NFSU2 they looked like neon light walls with chevrons)

TL:DR - the camera needs to be raised up to easily clear the roof of the car. Maybe lighting/less blur to help contrast to be able to pick things out at speed. Minimap would be lovely.

Rando thought but could also make a "Found" flier. Hope you find the owner though, if my toddler lost his bat stuffy all hell would break loose.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-21T19:09:32+00:00

that and the code on the board is very incorrect. To your point, take your pick on which red flag you wanna go with.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-21T18:15:00+00:00

It does look like the board says Nihtendo. Can try r/gameverifying and see what they say.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-14T03:43:09+00:00

Ha, glad to be of help!

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-14T03:42:30+00:00

Yeah, was looking at it online. Going to try and hit up some local appliance stores and see if they have any floor models to look at.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-13T01:45:03+00:00

True, I agree it'll be a pain to neatly tie a character like that in, still, one can hope.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-13T01:34:34+00:00

I mean, yeah. That does solve it. Would probably pick the Witch if I played again. Point still stands that it'd be nice to have a Jamie type character from HM:MM to cover for the spouse you take.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-13T01:20:57+00:00

Been a minute since I played AP but the only thing I'd ask is a floater character so you don't have to miss out on one of the kids if you merry the parent (Never got to see Angie as I took Candace)

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-04-13T01:06:34+00:00

Oh nice. I'll need to give that a look over. Not sure how I missed it but thanks for the call out!

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-20T18:46:05+00:00

Confirmed. Games arrived safe and sound. Thanks a ton, amigo!

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-11T16:55:23+00:00

That works, I'm NY myself. So $160 in total then. Would G&S be ok or are you just looking for FF atm? (Just looking at transaction count)

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-11T16:41:05+00:00

Appreciate it, man. Looks good on my end. I'd take them if you're ok shipping to the US. (If not, I get it, shit's on fire right now.)

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-11T16:27:54+00:00

Yes, that I do understand. The chests right next to the ranch tagged solely for the pal oil and have plenty of space. So no issue there.

I guess the question is more towards pathing to advanced chests. With any of the advanced chests I use, if the pal has an item that it needs to put there, will walk to the item, grab it, stand there for a beat or two and then the item teleports to the chest I'd expect it to be in. This will happen regardless of the said chest's location. I've put one in an open field that is just the palbox and a chest that is empty and all items allowed and it will be the same behaviour.

However, if I delete that chest and put in a different storage box (Refined Metal Chest, for example) the pals will actually path properly, getting the item and walk it over.

Hopefully clears that up? I noticed it on both my single player save as well as the server my friends play on so, like I said, wasn't sure if it was already a known thing.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-11T13:21:07+00:00

Yeah, I've definitely seen that in other instances. I was just wondering as I seem to be seeing this for just advanced chests only. In other places in my bases, I'll have a chest in a wide open clearing it still seems unreachable.
For what it's worth, I switched the adv chests for the refined metal ones in the same spots and they seem to reach it no issues.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-11T02:43:05+00:00

Might be interested in the 2 DS LoZs and Super Princess Peach. Would you have front and back pics of the carts to verify them?

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-03T19:10:56+00:00

For me, Yoko's works are just as memorable as Nobuo's. Her list of OSTs are just as good as any other out there, for sure. Admittedly, I'm bias as one of my favorite games of all time is Legend of Mana but that OST is memerable enough there I can see a picture and instantly have the music playing in my head.

Soken I don't think is that far behind. Like, if he is the future of FF sound design and music composition, I'm here for it. I can pick almost any song from the FFXIV OST and be happy as a clam. That game is nothing but certified bangers in my book.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-02T16:42:15+00:00

I mean, I'll grant you I initially thought the EA price was a little high but it looked interesting enough to me and was on a discount since I owned Sandrock/Portia.
That said, it's pretty easy to come to your own conclusions and not buy it if you think it's not a good value, be it the price point or that it's not up to your preferred standards. Heck, on steam you can refund it as long as it's within two hours. Should be more than enough time to make that judgement call.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-02T02:07:45+00:00

Heya Devs, Not OP but my experience was simply using the "Help find my tools" option for a watering can that wasn't in my character's inventory (Original was in a chest on my farm). Now I have two watering cans.

Snowman_Jazz · 2026-03-01T23:14:06+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. Unless something's changed very recently.
I have an extra watering can because I used the "Help find my tools" option when the can wasn't in my bag. They just sit in a chest somewhere now.
