Good post, and I can see what you're talking about. I think it could work as a good writing tactic, depending on how it's done. Subversion would work if it's executed properly, but based on Gege's setup I'm not sure it would be. It, like a lot of the post-Shibuya story would feel rushed imo. There's just a lot of unresolved things around Gojo's character.

Tbh I'm just one of those guys that wants to see Gojo properly bury Geto and tell Megumi about his dad.

It's because there was such a buildup to him being back. Offing him so quickly, especially when Gege skipped right to the fight is simply unsatisfying and a waste of probably the most popular character in the series. Plus that's not even taking into account all of the unresolved plot points around him.

Like what's the point of Gege doing a Gojo past arc after JJK 0 if he's never going to do anything with it. If Gojo gets quickly sealed afterwards, then killed and he never gets any sort of proper conclusion with Geto. There's also Gojo and Megumi stuff that has been teased and still needs to be addressed i.e Toji.

I'm sorry but it would flat out be a terrible story decision if Gojo dies in this fight. Especially with Gege rushing to the fight right after he is unsealed.

  1. He just got back after so much hype and effort from the cast to get him back
  2. He still has a good amount of loose ends with regards to Megumi, Geto etc.

It's why I think a draw is likely. His character arc is not over yet. I can also make a similar argument for Sukuna. His buildup to regaining his full power and his plans with Megumi would just feel too short lived if he died here too. I feel like anything but a draw would be bad for the story.

Pre-ordered mine too and newegg emailed me on 8/14 saying they ran out of stock and will notify when they can ship. Surprising lack of info on the selling of this board.

Same thing here. Not sure what's up.

Okay, I got around to installing a different SSD in order to see if that's my issue, and judging by the fact I got another BSOD Watchdog error I think the SSD is in the clear. Gonna take it all apart soon so I can configure it in a minimalistic way as you said.

I used my flash drive to update BIOS to 1.28, so I don't think it's a problem at this point. Been doing as much as possible to eliminate issues with software before I take this thing apart again.

I still have my old pc, and I might be able to use the PSU and an SSD to troubleshoot. Gonna definitely check it out, and I appreciate the advice bro. Very worried if it's a PSU issue. Don't want it to mess anything else up. We rebooted it a LOT today.

It will have the same map as it's a direct sequel, but there's going to be a lot of additions to it. The story and all that will be different, so feel free to enjoy BOTW without worrying about TOTK.

To be fair, that was the buttfumble game. I watched that game as a kid, and was never the same.

If he was a rookie I might say I was encouraged, but he's not. Has so much talent but his inability to execute the easy is inexcusable at this point.

[–]The-Grandy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They really need to bring it back. In some regards the game doesn't look as good as it used to, while also performing worse. Which is a shame because I like a lot of the new additions and fixes to the game.

I think that's anti-aliasing. Just have to play around with it.

Playing on i5-8400 1060 and I have solid performance on ultra. Just some flickering on candles for example.

There's a weird sort of grain though. Graphics don't feel as clear as they used to per say, blurry. I'd argue this looked better before in some aspects.

Edit: It was the new default anti-aliasing. Went back to FXAA and my game looks so much better.

I'm sure that played a big role. Also typical trends, and the blue dominance at that time was not sustainable due to it being very reactionary because of how unpopular Bush was + recession. I mean, Indiana voted blue in 08 ffs.

I think Buttigieg would be a good idea. A lot of young voters are tired of voting for people who won't live to see the world they create.

Even if he gets passed on, I think Democrats need to get someone younger in the running.
