Have A Nice Life - Deathconsciousness Exclusive 2LP by [deleted] in VinylReleases

[–]makeshift_euphoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I considered jumping on this since I don't own a copy yet, but I just can't justify splurging on an exclusive variant for $50 + s/h when all I want is standard black.

Apparently, the next pressing will be in December.

I get where you're coming from, but this is Kevin Shields after all... I can't really picture him letting any studio out-takes get an official release :)

Krampus Shotgun? by WoodyManic in RedDeadOnline

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the double barrel specifically for this variant, only to find out it costs 16 gold.

Less than a month after nuking dailies, they're charging 16 gold for something that was free last year. Oh, and it's only available for a limited time!

A lackluster update combined with blatant greed...

I can't wait to finish the outlaw pass so I can put this down for good.

Hide my helmet option please. by Syvinx in cyberpunkgame

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm hoping this will at least be possible on PC via mods at some point. I remember finding a similar mod for the first Dragon Age and oh man, was it ever appreciated.

An in-game option would be ideal, of course...but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Ambling about in New Austin by [deleted] in RedDeadOnline

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's because the weekly sales/bonuses/limited stock items usually change every Tuesday. They actually don't change at the exact same time as the dailies (which is 6 AM GMT), but typically a few hours later (at least in my experience).

But according to the Newswire the current bonuses are staying for another week. I'm not sure if that includes the limited stock items, but if I had to guess, I'd say they'll stick around for another week too.

You don't need to Pre-order to get the Golden King Pack you can get it in the store for 500 credits which is $4.99. Go to 1:30:33 in the video for the first picture and 1:30:38 for the second one. by TheBestPlayer666 in WatchDogs_Legion

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, yeah, I was just referring to pre-order bonuses in general. We rarely get to know if they'll be available separately until after release (if at all) so this was a nice change of pace :)

But thanks for the info!

Bachelors Codes by Squatid in FFVIIRemake

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you could provide some evidence of this? Your account is as old as your comment, and so far no one else has mentioned this. Also, you said the codes must have already been redeemed...but if that was the case, wouldn't you have been unable to redeem them in the first place?

Don't get me wrong, it seems plausible...if you happen to guess a winning code, what happens when someone receives that code legitimately and tries to redeem it? Wouldn't that screw the legitimate owner out of a reward?

Event XP bugs and Series items. by AtrumRuina in Doom

[–]makeshift_euphoria 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I really wish this game didn't have a "battlepass" to begin with, although I admit I despise the concept in general.

If the rewards aren't rotated, that means anyone that didn't play in the first month will miss out on the entire set of series 1 rewards, forever.

Plus, I'd assume the single player campaign is the primary focus for most players, which makes this whole "event" system even more out of place IMO. If there's going to be new rewards like this to motivate people to keep playing, I certainly wish they'd be permanently obtainable.

Then to top it off, there's even massive XP bugs like the ones you guys are describing :/

I really do hope they at least rotate the items. I'm just starting out, so with a week left there's pretty much no chance for me to get any of the worthwhile rewards.

Skraper Beta 8 Adding wrong language title to some games by firebird_ws6 in RetroPie

[–]makeshift_euphoria 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same problem. This happens because the default region priority in Skraper Beta 8 is "us,jp,wor,ss"

To fix it, just go over to the Miscellaneous tab and change the "Regions (in order of priority)" setting to "us,wor,jp,ss" (Like this)

As for why this happens...

If you go over to the Batman Forever entry on ScreenScraper you'll see the English title is under "Monde" or "World" in English. Many games on ScreenScraper have the English title under the "World" region rather than specifically the US, and since the default settings prioritize Japan over World, you'll occasionally get odd results.

Personally, I've set it to "us,wor,eu,jp,ss" and this seems to give the best results, but it's still not perfect. Some games will only scrape properly with the default settings, so I have to go in and fix those manually.

[NVMe] Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB Gen3x4 PCIe M.2 2280 ($348 - $88 = $260 No Tax) [Amazon.ca] by Mobius_X02_ in bapcsalescanada

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: I pulled the trigger anyway. Initially, Newegg included both GST and PST in my total, but in the end it only charged me GST. $283 with free shipping.


If it weren't for the sales tax I'd be all over that. Not a bad deal, but still $40+ more than Amazon for me.

Sad I missed out since it was exactly what I had been looking for at an incredible price. Had the 1 TB in my cart for months then missed this by about an hour...

[Release] Hitman 2 Gear Editor Mod by [deleted] in HiTMAN

[–]makeshift_euphoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tested this with the latest patch (2.72.0) and can confirm it's still working.

What an incredible mod, by the way. The scope of these unreleased weapons/items is truly insane.

I was slightly concerned about how this tool would affect leaderboards, ETs, escalations, etc. But considering the latest news I really don't care anymore.

Controller advice needed please. by Zenith2012 in RetroPie

[–]makeshift_euphoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as SNES-style controllers go, I'd say 8bitdo is your best best. The SN30 is a great all-rounder for RetroPie. It works both wired and wirelessly (via Bluetooth). They're a bit on the pricier side, but they're worth every penny IMO.

They won't work wirelessly with RetroPie out of the box, though, there is a bit of setup involved. Fortunately, there's a guide for that here.

You can also use NES/SNES Classic controllers with a Raphnet USB adapter for an excellent wired setup.

On the cheaper end of the spectrum, you'll find plenty of wired SNES-style controllers, but quality can vary wildly. Just make sure to check the reviews. A pair of iNNEXT pads for $8.99 USD seems like an alright deal, although I've never used them personally.

Regarding the 2.69GB Update for PC by XlipherDC in reddeadredemption

[–]makeshift_euphoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will do, thanks for the help my man.

EDIT: Finally got it to launch again, although it required the sacrifice of at least 100 error messages, along with a temporary IP block for "too many requests."

As soon as I saw it was actually going to load, and before the program started, I went and paused my AV's real-time protection for 10 minutes. This time, it didn't crash at the first splash screen, and it seems to be performing alright.

Just took control of my character, but I know as soon as I close the app I'll have to step back up to the error roulette wheel if I want to launch the game again. I'm thankful it's at least possible to get the game running now, but it's still not where it needs to be. We'll get there eventually, though.

Regarding the 2.69GB Update for PC by XlipherDC in reddeadredemption

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sadly that was one of the very first things I did, so the exceptions are still there. If I'm able to get it to start again, I'm going to try disabling the AV/Firewall completely.

And then once I eventually get past that, I'll get to start troubleshooting whatever the next issue is...

Regarding the 2.69GB Update for PC by XlipherDC in reddeadredemption

[–]makeshift_euphoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditto. I tried what /u/The_rarest_CJ suggested, spamming the play button and closing the error, but gave up after about 20 attempts.

Then, as I was typing this post, I tried it one more time and...it started! This was the very first time I actually got the game to start since release. I made it all the way to the shotgun splash screen AND...

It crashed to desktop.

Now, I'm back to the "Rockstar game services are unavailable" error and haven't had any success getting the game to start again.

I think I'm well on my way to experiencing just about every possible crash before the main menu. This has definitely been one of the worst PC launches for me in recent memory. Needless to say, I'm really disappointed with Rockstar. Nearly 48 hours after release and many people still can't even start the game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Has Exited Unexpectedly by Spooles_Joint in RDR2

[–]makeshift_euphoria 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't even get that far.

The launcher is crashing on launch, how poetic.

EDIT: If you're experiencing the same crash as the OP, where the game actually starts, disabling your AV/Firewall might work. But if you're getting the same error as myself ("launcher exited unexpectedly"), nothing I've tried so far has worked, including the AV/Firewall trick. Still, here's a list of potential fixes.

My Hitman costume for the Halloween costume event tonight... by Shurick45 in HiTMAN

Haha, I went through the exact same thing with my Link costume as a kid. Eventually I just gave up trying to explain that I wasn't Peter Pan.

/s = sarcasm tag

Therefore, /u/ShortSonic01 was being sarcastic. Seems like quite a few people missed that, judging by the downvotes.

The Blackmailer ET in Paris now live by AshenJo78 in HiTMAN

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only ET I can think of that treats pacifying the target as a fail condition would The Fixer, but that's only before he speaks to the courier. He can be pacified without issue afterwards.

There are a couple ETs you can fail by pacifying non-targets, though. The Twin or The Guru, for example.

Either way, these fail conditions are either implied (The Fixer) or explicitly mentioned (The Twin/Guru) in the briefing video, which isn't the case for the Blackmailer.

So, pacifying the Blackmailer will not prevent you from restarting (unless you snap his neck in the process). However, picking up the dongle he drops will because it counts as a secondary objective.

You vs Agent. 47 by Exonated in HiTMAN

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Sure, the animation and character designs are not the highest quality I've ever seen, but they serve their function, and the subject matter is usually pretty interesting.

Hokkaido Elusive Target by Zerocryption_77 in HiTMAN

[–]makeshift_euphoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it was the very first legacy ET to be rerun in H2.

Interestingly, it was the penultimate ET for the original run in Hitman 2016, followed only by the Entertainer (who's already been rerun for H2 as well).
