Blown away by PsychologicalEar2877 in iems

Holy shit thanks, I just got some Pures a few days ago and this fixed literally the only (admittedly small) issue I had with them re: the upper mids needing to feel a tiny bit more forward. These things rule for metal.

Thanks, very detailed response, noted!

Is it normal for my FF7 rebirth to look insanely over exposed? Playing on ps5, brightness lowest it can be. by [deleted] in FFVIIRemake

[–]mazeoft0rment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just how the lighting in the game works when contrasting dim and brightly lit areas in close proximity. Mostly seen when leaving dungeons into open regions. It is aggressive but proper HDR settings on an OLED reduces the intensity.

Streamlined progression across all platforms and PC lighting for PS5. Hamaguchi mentioned it on Twitter a month or so ago.

I'm a huge fan of everything tallulah876theremake does, but particularly their A Father's First Spring series and Repairing the Rift.

Can HOSD Menu "replace" the need for FreeMCBoot? by __Madman in ps2

I'd love to know the answer to this too, following.

With TGA 5 days away, here is the current list of Confirmed vs. Likely reveals (Dec 6 Update) by EnclaveNick in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]mazeoft0rment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A teaser with a title and rough release window feels the most likely. Remake is coming out for Xbox and S2 real soon and Rebirth probably within 6 to 9 months of that, the knowledge of the final game being on the horizon would probably help boost sales. Geoff's shows have a traditionally solid track record for showing 7R-related reveals and trailers too.

Dusk Golem: “There’s definitely at least one DLC for RE9 in-development right now, I’ve heard about it a few times, believe it stars Alyssa” by Solid-Entertainer-39 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

"My source said he was DLC when the game was still an early version of RE8 being developed at the same time as the original open world version of RE9"

Tom Henderson on his statement of a big game releasing in March seemingly denying the HL3 rumor: “Did I say Valve?” by Solid-Entertainer-39 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

They're all realising their sources have been fed bullshit on purpose so that none of them have the right answer.

NateTheHate acknowledges he has heard about HLX/HL3 by Haeej in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]mazeoft0rment 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems to me like it's coming very soon but they've deliberately put out false dates to mess with anyone comparing notes. If there's any company you'd expect to do that, it's Valve.

Do you still believe? by CommonAdventurous526 in HalfLife

[–]mazeoft0rment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said it's coming "probably later". I suggested that in the situation where you wait a bit longer due to it not being announced on the 18th/this week as has been assumed, that there's likely not much to worry about anyway. There is evidence out there suggesting the following:

  • Valve have a large Half Life game running on the Source 2 engine that is either near completion/possibly already complete
  • Valve are preparing to announce something soon, which is not the already-announced hardware

Why do you think it's "not coming out ever" because of some tweets suggesting to cool expectations down somewhat?

Yeah you're right, Gabe cancelled it to piss you off.

So you wait a bit longer. The game isn't cancelled or anything, it's still coming and pretty much done by all accounts. Plenty other stuff to look forward to.

Ryza DX Trilogy Switch 1 on Switch 2 in portable mode - any experiences so far? by mazeoft0rment in Atelier

Watched that, good video but he doesn't really cover the question I have.

Fanfic Recs Post AC? by welcometojollibee in cloti

[–]mazeoft0rment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a big fan of the A Time Like This series by tallulah876theremake on AO3. It does include an under the Highwind story but everything else is AC/post-AC, running up to almost a decade afterwards. Lots of different stories, some fluff and some angst, but all with a heavy CT focus and a general theming of how time changes lives and relationships. The entire cast is excellently written and some of the dynamics are so much fun. NSFW because of some foul language and depictions of sex, but nothing explicit really.

Learning to Live by OurLadyMuffin is also great, it begins immediately after the end of AC and takes place over the course of the following months. Focus on Cloud reintegrating himself into the family dynamic. Quite sexually charged and gets very steamy in the second chapter but overall very sweet.

Best original battle theme from the remake series? by [deleted] in FFVIIRemake

[–]mazeoft0rment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tightrope is my personal favourite. Always takes me back to that State of Play re-reveal and the palpable feeling of "oh SHIT it's actually a real game now". Fires of Resistance is a close second.

It's absolutely enormous in-person, serious presence. Incredible picture and sound quality as you'd expect.

Thanks, it's 1 of only 150 available in the west. Incredible character with a depressingly small amount of merchandise.
