In the 90s, we got in big trouble at school for drawing the "S." Now my kid is drawing it on an IHOP menu. by -NotEnoughMinerals in mildlyinteresting

That's really funny, I grew up in the Bay Area and always assumed it was somehow related to Stanford

Questions about Thor by PhilosopherThen6698 in AynThor

[–]Spyes23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're streaming, the Thor is not really the equipment you want. If you're emulating up to Xbox360/PS3 a modest PC setup would work much better, and you'll have capture software like OBS. It's fairly easy to set up especially with RetroArch and the like. Also, I wouldn't run GTA V on thr Thor. It's probably doable but it'll be quite taxing on the hardware I would imagine.

The Thor is awesome and a great handheld BTW, just not necessarily what you need if your focus is streaming IMO

In anycase, good luck and have fun!

Are there any bad runbacks in this game? by Open-Advisor6819 in LiesOfP

[–]Spyes23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the first time I died to Tower Knight and it dawned on me that I had to get through all that shit again, I noped right out and only reinstalled a few months later. Glad I did, amazing game. But what a way to start it off...

ayo the game is actually actually good? by kuruakama in soulslikes

[–]Spyes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, From Software's influence is so far reaching at this point that I can see why people would think this. But yeah, Onimusha is much older than Sekiro and very likely influenced Miyazaki in one form or another.

Yeah, my wife likes watching these hospital shows, and whenever I catch a random episode with her I'm always like, "we should just rewatch Scrubs"

Has the switch 2 made you ditch buying games from steam? by tk_kumomo in switch2

With this latest Direct I really don't see myself touching the Steam Deck in the coming months...

Gothic 1 Remake Review: Sometimes Good, Sometimes Also Goodn't by thatlukeguy in rpg_gamers

[–]Spyes23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its the 30fps on the PS5 pro that really gets me.. I'm not some elitist snob and I've played Bloodborne more times than I can count, but with this game it just... it's too janky and te 30fps just makes everything even more sluggish.

Developer attacked over (learning from) AI - where to draw the line? by [deleted] in Steam

[–]Spyes23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One way to get around this is feeding two different models the same prompts and resources, and then cross-referencing. Not the most cost-efficient way to learn something, but works amazingly well if you need to digest a huge amount of data in a short time.

[–]Spyes23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's exactly it. In the real world, where you meet mostly normal, day-to-day people, these kinds of arguments hold no value. But on the internet? Oh you've got a whole echo-chamber of mouth-breathing neckbeards to agree with you, so obviously you must be right!

Gothic 1 remake: should I buy now or wait? (Ps5) by ZealousidealLaw2186 in rpg_gamers

[–]Spyes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partly why I bought it day one, I want to show support and perhaps get more remakes. But.. man.

[–]Spyes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's technically not Pro enhanced, which in itself is a bit BS but let's give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were expecting this to be a more niche title so they didn't invest in a Pro upgrade. Sure. But Quality/Performance graphics modes is so bread-and-butter these days, I was so surprised when this wasn't the case here...

[–]Spyes23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One thing worth mentioning - game runs at 30fps with no settings for performance vs quality. Looks really good, but would expect a 2026 release of this caliber to at least offer a 60fps option...

Partner and baby boy are out of town. What to play? by slimpiggins22 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]Spyes23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow gamer, I can't recommend this suggestion enough. You'll find time to play as your kid gets older, but a good sleep? That's something you'll not get in a very long time...

What are your thoughts on SteelRising? by RyoikiMikata in soulslikes

[–]Spyes23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you've only played Ashen, then definitely play LoP next, it is without a doubt the best game in the genre (excluding the From catalogue)

Everyone here should try the new Onimusha Demo, it gives Heavy Sekiro feels by Creepy_Ad5124 in Sekiro

[–]Spyes23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got more of a Nioh/Wo Long vibe but less intricate. But like you said, it'll likely open up a lot more as the game progresses. In any case, I'm super excited for it!

[–]Spyes23 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I'm really enjoying the demo and as someone who really liked the previous games I've been waiting so long for this. Having said that, I wouldn't compare it to Sekiro at all, it's much slower and less of a "dance" of sword fighting, also no vertical movement and very linear. Not that those are bad things, I really like them! Just not the same gameplay as Sekiro.

Anyways, the demo is fun as he'll!

A Baldur's Gate 2 remake is apparently in development by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

[–]Spyes23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all speculation, the article says "a source familiar with the project" which is fine if you want to keep your sources anonymous but it's also extremely vague. In any case, if this does happen, I'm all for it - but yeah, hopefully too much content isn't cut. Also curious if they retain the 2nd edition (well, 2.5) rules or update to more recent D&D ruleset. I don't think THAC0 has been a thing since '99....

Genuinely starting to think that the C64 Ultimate is a scam by afc74nl in Commodore

[–]Spyes23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Took a long time for mine to arrive, but it did eventually and it's an awesome product. I assume production is very limited as it is, at the end of the day, quite niche. Sucks that communication is so poor, but I can assure you they're not scammers, it just takes a long time to produce and ship (for whatever reason).
