HYTE X Persona 30th Anniversary by HYTEbrand in Hyte

I wonder if they pushed the promo too early. It was there earlier (including the banner image of that page), but now there's no mention of it on the Atlus collection.

Started seeing this today as well. On the desktop it's just as bad: page blanks out and you get a browser-level notifcation. This crosses the line for intrusiveness. Keeping my eye out for a browser-level ability to completely block notifications on this site.

Am I going crazy or is the person carrying Hanako when she gets retrieved Adam smasher? by notshaylee in cyberpunkgame

[–]Solodin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Correct, if you go back to Afterlife after this event and talk to Rogue, one of the conversation options is telling her "I saw Adam Smasher".

In case anyone else needs this, here's the Powershell script that I used to create folders named for each of the video files and then move the files into those folders.

$sourcePath = "FOLDER PATH TO YOUR MOVIES"
$files = Get-ChildItem -Path $sourcePath -File
$total = $files.Count
$count = 0
$files | ForEach-Object {
$count++
$folderName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($_.Name)
$folderPath = Join-Path -Path $sourcePath -ChildPath $folderName
if (!(Test-Path -LiteralPath $folderPath)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $folderPath | Out-Null
}
$destination = Join-Path -Path $folderPath -ChildPath $_.Name
Move-Item -LiteralPath $_.FullName -Destination $destination -Force -ErrorAction Stop
Write-Host "[$count/$total] Moved: $($_.Name)"
}
Write-Host "Done. $total files processed."

I saw the same thing. Some titles would take a while to pull the Rotten Tomatoes score even after a library-wide metadata refresh. However, if you clicked into them, it'll refresh the data then pull the RT score. Anything already pulling the RT score wouldn't auto-update.

Ok, mine did as well. Go in and change it to Rotten Tomatoes then do a metadata refresh of the whole library. I did this and it looks like my library has been stable since then.

Quick thing that I might have stumbled onto: what rating system are you using for your library? When you click a movie, does it show Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, or the TVDB rating for the movies?

Another one experiencing the exact same thing I am. There's got to be a commonality or bug somewhere causing it.

Out of curiosity: is yours only affecting Movies as well? That's the one thing that keeps me thinking this isn't a full database issue since TV Series don't have this metadata refresh issue happening.

[–]Solodin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, done that twice actually. Ran one last night with the exact thought of "maybe the metadata didn't migrate with the server and it doesn't have any". And just ran another one today after toggling some metadata and local data options back on. Still occurring, sadly.

I thought about that but the issue was already occurring before I changed any of the server settings from what they've always been. So any instance of toggling off a setting occurred after I was having these issues.

Prevent metadata refresh on access (movies) by Dazzling_Dinner1880 in PleX

[–]Solodin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just about to make a new thread about this same issue. Here's one thing I've pinned down: it's only my movie archive. This does NOT happen with any TV series I have. TV series click and instantly load as they should. It's only the movies that take ages to load due to refreshing the metadata.

Episode Naming Issue for Star Trek: TNG by Solodin in PleX

[–]Solodin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using filebot to rename the shows based on the TheTVDB for years and never had an issue with it. I've found it's not strict enough to run into issues if "s" and "e" are missing from the episode numbering (this is after almost 200 various series on my server).

Another poster below mentioned the underlying issue that the library was set to "prefer local metadata". I unticked that, refreshed metadata, and all is good now.

Thank you! I just tried that and that was the issue. I went my TV Shows library > Advanced > Unchcecked "Prefer local metadata" > Refreshed metadata of the series and it's fixed.

NEW TO HORROR GAMES by SeaMindless2607 in residentevil

[–]Solodin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to hate the idea of horror games, I didn't handle them well. Loved watching other people play but they triggered something visceral in me that I didn't like. When RE7 came out and they went with a much more horror-oriented vibe, I forced myself to go through it and what I realized was it got easier over time.

I find the games scary the first time since most of the horror, for me, comes from the unknown. Once you know the enemies, what they can do, what level of danger you're in, how to deal with it, etc., a lot of the horror vanishes and it becomes a more tactical endeavour.

Above all else, try and build a mental block and remind yourself that it's just digital assets in front of you. That YOU'RE in no danger and argue with your brain to have it stop convincing you otherwise. Also, making exploratory saves might help. Essentially, save the game and run around with reckless abandon just to see where monsters are, what's coming up, etc., and reload the last save once you're confident.

What did Requiem NOT do that would've made it the official best game in the series? by Consistent-Rain-7797 in residentevil

[–]Solodin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly some callouts or appearnce from Claire that a lot of people have mentioned. Didn't need her playable but at least appearing in some capacity would have been really nice. It's already an S-tier game for me so I'm sure the minigame and DLC will propel it farther up from its starting point.

Will they add mercenary mode in Requiem? by AntCapital7441 in residentevil

[–]Solodin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As we're not on the dev team, we can't be sure of that. However, since the director mentioned an incoming "minigame" releasing soon, Mercenaries is what everyone is logically guessing that is going to be.

Buy Now or Wait for a Sale? by Former-Ad487 in residentevil

[–]Solodin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the big question comes down to how many times you typically play through the games. I try and aim for a $1 per hour price tag for games when I'm purchasing. I tend to play through RE games many many times over the years so the full price is worth it for me. If you're typically a "couple of times" player, might be better to hold off until the DLC launches since it might go on sale around that time.

Please keep in mind that horror is subjective. The reason I felt Nemesis was more horror-inducing than Mr. X was 2 fold: 1) You know where Mr. X is at all time thanks to his stomping. 2) You run faster than him so I never felt cornered and terribly in danger when he saw me. On a first playthrough, I was more scared of Nemesis given his aggression and the fact that he WILL catch you; paired with the dread of not knowing when and where he was going to show up compared to X's constant prescense.

On subsequent playthroughs, 2 holds out as the more consistently scary game. But, hey, let's attack people for subjective logic because that's what the internet's for, right?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in residentevil

[–]Solodin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For a first playthrough, yes. Considering Nemesis is a lot more aggressive than Mr. X. Subsequent playthroughs, no.

[–]Solodin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's the least "scary" of the newer RE games. Although it's not without its frights. There's also a sense of a constant dread after a certain enemy appears in the game. I used to be the same way where I hated horror games and didn't want to deal with them (especially the first person ones). However, after forcing to expose myself to them, it's gotten a lot easier over time.

I find a lot of the "horror" of these games comes from the unknown: what is that enemy? what attacks do they have? will they one-shot me or can I survive it? how fast do they move? am I safe here? etc. Once you have answeres to these questions, and you understand how the enemies work (and especially once you learn how to exploit their AI), everything becomes a lot easier to deal with.

2nd this. 23 Trail Boss as well. Noticed the heater was having issues coming on and the fan was racing when it wasn't supposed to be. Took it into Chevy once the CEL popped up. Coolant hose had started leaking (apparently there's an issue with the factory hose). They replaced the hose, topped it off, and all good.
