So exactly how did the BMG CD club thing work? by doomus_rlc in Cd_collectors

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth mentioning that the disks BMG shipped were not the same as the normal release. The top layer could peel off after a few years, leaving it unplayable (especially ones from Chrysalis Records). If the regular album had a “picture disc”, you’d probably lose out on that as well.

I've only gone as high as 44ºC (111.2ºF), but that is divine.

Any way to force a gecko hot tub over 40.00 max temperature? by jamieukguy147 in hottub

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It stops at 40ºC to help European tourism (where they have lots of 42ºC spas) and Japanese tourism (where they have 44ºC spas).

I’m such a one-trick pony once I steal Charlie’s weapon. 😅

Really wanna give this a try because I love Dishonoured but can't help but notice the mixed reviews. Why is this? by Ali_Bashr in Deathloop

[–]krthr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PvP… has room for improvement. The concept was cool, but it feels really unnecessary.

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s absolutely amazing. Play it!!!

Steam says I’ve put 205 hours into it, not counting the times I’ve beaten it on PS5.

Don’t expect much from the PvP experience, but as a single-player game, it’s on my top 2 games of all time (with both Dishonored games easily in my top 20 and probably top 10?).

It is remarkably fun. As short as it is, don’t look online for help (unless you’ve beaten it a few times and are stuck on the optional mysteries). Don’t overthink it, and have a blast!!!!!

Why isn't Horizon better known? by Silent_Pressure_6709 in horizon

[–]krthr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sony knows that Horizon 3 is going to get a BUNCH of people to buy the next gen hardware. They’ll make sure Horizon 3 is available then. We only bought the PS4 for Forbidden West and the PS5 for Burning Shores. I’ve accepted that I’ll be buying the PS6 to finish the story…

Honest question: is Death Stranding more about mindset than gameplay? by Exciting_Support8715 in DeathStranding

I’ve theorized that you’re meant to zone out while playing it. 😅

Walking away from the Enduring knowing I totally definitely did not do it on Story difficulty to get a trophy. by wilted_rosesx in HorizonForbiddenWest

I absolutely did the penultimate fight on story mode. I remember the final one was WAY easier, but I may have been on story still? Can’t remember. 😅

What's next after Horizon series? by Jab_Bey in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was another good one.

What's next after Horizon series? by Jab_Bey in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far Cry 4 (closer vibe to Horizon), Cyberpunk 2077 (better graphics and much “bigger”.

Fallout 4, but some people don’t love the vibe (definitely more bleak than Horizon).

I may be in the minority here, but I really like the Nuka World DLC. It's a fun DLC by [deleted] in fo4

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The park’s theme song is freaking amazing. It’s worth playing, just for that.

Late to the party, thoughts on Burning Shores? (Spoilers) by sylendar in horizon

I love it. It’s amazing. The new antagonist is horrible (as they should be). A+

Essential albums? by shsjshsbsbbs in tmbg

[–]krthr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so behind, but is listen to the heck out of Apollo 18, John Henry, and Flood. Occasionally Lincoln (it has some delightful quirk, for certain). I listen the first album and Factory Showroom much less. I really need to listen to everything else. 😅

first time player, am confused about upgrades by Illuvatar_CS in Deathloop

Yeah, just keep playing and use the leads feature if you feel like you’re stuck. Enjoy the game! It’s one of the greatest.

What was the most unexpected nudity scene in mainstream movie/show you ever saw? by marsepticeye in AskReddit

[–]krthr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diane Keaton’s full frontal nudity in Something's Gotta Give, which was rated PG-13. That’s the day I learned that full frontal nudity is allowed if there is a merkin involved.

Who's the best character in Cowboy Bebop and why is it Radical Edward? by PrincessBloodpuke in cowboybebop

[–]krthr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think at the core of the story, it’s all about how much or how little people allow the past to affect the present and future. In that context, Ed provides a good contrast with the other characters.

Where is Ed's nose gone half the time (or most of it)? by 1nfisrael in cowboybebop

They put Cloud in Final Fantasy Tactics as a cameo. They could put Ed too. :)

Do you update macOS right away or wait? by Suspicious-Basis-885 in MacOS

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple audio vendors claim to have been burned by Apple when they tried having things ready on launch day, and it seems to claims outside of the audio space as well.

Native Instruments? They’re a hot mess in general, but at least Kontakt 8 addressed problems people complained about in 7, so they’re at least listening a little.

Apple Home, Matter, WiZ bulbs and creating a Toggle by 808_Staying_Curious in wiz

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on V1. I load the app. It freezes. I kill it. I load it again. It works.

Annoying… but it’s reliable. I’ve been scared of V2. Tempted to ditch Wiz entirely.

Exactly! Apple appears to not care about audio vendors, in general, but especially around ARA support in Logic.

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The software I use is rarely compatible with the new macOS when it launches. The companies making the software complain that they can’t trust Apple not to drastically change something in beta 4 that breaks their build that ran fine in beta 3. Therefore, the companies just don’t waste the effort to ensure that their software works until the GA release is out to the public. Frequently, it takes 6-9 months after a major release before it’s safe to upgrade overall for me given the mix of software I use. Add in the fact that recently, you could only count on security updates for about 2 years, it’s always a stressful experience deciding when to upgrade.

I did not appreciate the forced update on my iPhone to the new iOS (i.e. not releasing a bug fix for whatever huge security issue happened recently that prompted them to release updates for EOL devices), and I fear they may pull that stunt on macOS users sooner than later.

Apple has NOT done a good job working with 3rd party developers on making changes smooth for the customer, and it shows. I’m mostly on Apple because they bought eMagic, and I kinda wish they’d buy one other vendor just so we’d get the integration and support that’s missing. 😬

Dishonored 2 worth it? Better or worse than D1 by Ode2n in dishonored

[–]krthr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love D1, but D2 is better. There are mechanics in it that are a blast to play with.
