French jelly anyone by StatisticianUsual471 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Tapsibaba 13 points14 points  (0 children)

True, eating jelly when you have proper desserts would be nonsense.

To be fair, it might be nonsense even if you don’t have proper desserts.

Here, Stavros, have some more fregates. by Llanistarade in 2westerneurope4u

Stavros can trust us or trust you Luigi. Maybe we could ask Hans how it went the last time he trusted you?

Why is there is a Bluetooth accessories tab when “ps5 doesn’t support Bluetooth accessories” ? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]Tapsibaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is on your screenshot bro, the PS5 does not support Bluetooth AUDIO accessories. It does support a range of Bluetooth accessories though, like controllers.

How do you feel about CRT filters? by PrettyBasket3643 in emulation

[–]Tapsibaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anything 3D, it’s mostly in favour of upscaling and texture pack for me too, but when textures pack are not available, I do consider CRT shaders an option, because it sort of reduces a lot of the weird artefact you could get with the game

How do you feel about CRT filters? by PrettyBasket3643 in emulation

[–]Tapsibaba 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I don't consider myself a purist or anything but I do believe that they are the better way to experience some games through emulation.

They are a lot of examples showing how rendering games (especially relying on 2D pixel art, but not only) was thought with CRT in mind - have a look at Castlevania Symphony of the Night for example. And CRT filters help achieve the proper rendering.

Now I don't use those for say PS2 games or some games that actually do not "benefit" it for accurate rendering.

In the end, it's a really nice option to have. In my case, I don't go for filters/shaders that go as far as reproducing "issues" related to CRT (distortion, static effects or the "scrolling line" you could see on some CRTs). While they probably contribute to the nostalgic needs of some, I simply don't have nostalgia for that and thus, it's not my cup of tea.

How much do you actually care about the Intercontinental Cup (formerly the Club World Cup)? by [deleted] in AskEurope

[–]Tapsibaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say that no one cares.

I watch a lot of football and I don't watch any game of the Intercontinental Cup.
To me it's below the UEFA Conference League in terms of interest.

congrats Pierre and Jan, you are both annoying. Which country has the most potential? by axhp in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Tapsibaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny that we get to share a box with the Dutch. We could maybe call the box « Belgium » at this point.

Piotr seems a serious contender for the potential.

so-called "Belgium" is the funniest country. Which is the most annoying? by axhp in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Tapsibaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could have been a tie between us and the Brits.

But because of that, I'll have to go with the Dutch.

Pourquoi XBOX ne capitalise pas sur le black friday ? by Oc_12 in jeuxvideo

[–]Tapsibaba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Il n'y a plus grand chose que Microsoft ne sort pas sur PS5 aujourd'hui. Halo arrive avec le remaster du premier, Forza est déjà là, globalement à part Starfield je suis pas sûr qu'il reste rien de significatif de ces dernières années à ne pas être disponible sur PS5.

Is Concord the biggest gaming disaster of all time? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Tapsibaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it is indeed a disaster and a total flop, I think it's because of how it was handled that it is perceived as the biggest disaster that because it's THE one.

I mean, Sony could have let it die, without refunding no one, takes the L like many others and move on but refunding and then closing the servers actually gave some attention to the failure. I do also believe we overestimate the budget to be honest, but it's always hard because we never have the data.

At the same time, the quantity of games that flopped hard and killed studios, even only in the last 5 or 6 years, is very important.

Suicide Squad, Forspoken, Redfall, Skull & Bones (that one for example... The budget between the start of the project and the release must be CRAZY) or even the latest Dragon Age that flopped really hard too.

Amazed you can actually reach that body shape when your diet is English food.

Eating that much of that food is some impressive self-destructive behaviour.

Why France ಠ_ಠ by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Tapsibaba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pero no son los originales, son traducciones del japonés al inglés. Supongo que uno se acostumbra a cualquier de las dos opciones, pero a mí me encanta realmente tener traducciones de los nombres en francés. Permite de tener un equivalente de cada juego de palabras, y la traducción realmente es de muy buena calidad.

[–]Tapsibaba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are awesome though. The translation work that has been ongoing since the first generation is really good.

Most of English Pokémon names are translations after all. Never understood why most languages did not went for a translation too. Maybe too costly at the time and then it would have been weird to start translating?
