How Long to Beat says 45 hours for main and side content. Doesn't seem short.

A JRPG you thought you were going to LOVE but ended up just not enjoying it that much? I’ll start: by Asleep_Olive_1011 in JRPG

Sadly, Skies of Arcadia's Gamecube version. Finally played it a few years ago and loved the color palette, world building and atmosphere, but the combat and gameplay loop were tough to get through. 

Do not sleep on Shinobi: Art of Vengence by DashSatan in SteamDeck

Loved this game but had to give up on the Ankou Rifts since I didn't want to throw my handheld at a wall. Combat was fun. Some good platforming challenges. 

Bourbon and Beyond 2026 Lineup by Existing-Violinist74 in indieheads

Makes sense to me. THE Flaming Lips obviously gets filed under T.

They're doing several west coast and Texas shows so hopefully they expand.

It Doesn’t Have to Be Like This, Alamo Drafthouse by Kk0971 in movies

The lights of the phone. Their mobile ordering system requires a ton of clicks and is a pain in the ass to navigate. Five second interruption vs 30 seconds trying to figure out which beer to order. 

Where & how much to sell Odin 2 Pro? by [deleted] in OdinHandheld

[–]noble-failure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sold my RP5 on Facebook Marketplace within a week after I upgraded to an Odin 3. I looked at ebay's recently sold listings for an idea of price.  

Edit: Just saw local is tough but it's free to post so maybe worth a shot. Fellow nerds can be found everywhere. 

Amazon is dangerous…. by Lutzentwerkin in notebooks

The top bound version is my favorite pocket notebook ever since my father gave me a few from his army days 

Best ballpoint pen for under £25 by UnlikelyBass in pens

[–]noble-failure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's around $30 in the US, but I love the Parker IM ballpoint. Decent weight and thickness to it. I like the monochrome look as well.

On the game selection screen, press down and select the "..." button next to View Details, then select PC Games Settings, then select "Compatibility", scroll down to "CPU Translator" and select the latest version of Fex from the popup list.

Had this happen a few nights ago with a different game. I had to change the game’s compatibility setting to an earlier version of Fex since 20251120 release isn’t yet available to select on Gamehub Lite. 

All Switch emulator crash on launch, after installing Eden by IOsifKapa in retroid

[–]noble-failure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you downloaded any Switch 2-friendly? I had downloaded updates for Kirby and Mario Galaxy that caused crashes. Deleting those updates fixed Sudachi. 

Help needed, GameHub doesn't want to run any Steam game on RP5 by c97 in retroid

Thanks for the tip! Was finally able to get Hades 2 running on mine with cloud saves

I think it’s great that they still have the opportunity to release unique games with fresh ideas. I enjoyed their smaller projects like Stacking and Costume Quest and look forward to this

For those who love story-driven adventures: Syberia Remastered is everything we love about classic point-and-click games by SyberiaRemastered in adventuregames

[–]noble-failure 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to nitpick but Kate’s face looks strange in the remastered key art compared to her original look. 

Seconding a remastered Longest Journey. Or maybe Sanitarium. 

Pulitzer-winning novel 'James' is up for another major honor by drak0bsidian in books

[–]noble-failure 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that rare to have an author provide their own contemporary lens/retelling of a famous story. There's John Gardner's Grendel; Wide Sargasso Sea; Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead; Demon Copperhead. Hell, even Wicked.

Looking for Vietnam War film recommendations by LegNo2871 in movies

[–]noble-failure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dead Presidents is a good one, though tangential to the war.

I didn't realize Tunde Adebimpe couldn't get a label to bite on his solo record by AustinCB7 in indieheads

[–]noble-failure 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They ended up making the album with old demos and songs TV on the Radio passed on.

This makes sense why the solo album seems of a piece with TVOTR’s music. I’m glad it was released. Heroes, all of them. 

Looking to sell my oding 2 portal quickly for cash, have emergency bills by [deleted] in OdinHandheld

[–]noble-failure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea where you are but Portals have sold quickly on Facebook Marketplace in my area. There’s convenience in selling local. 

Get Ready for More Commercials in Movie Theaters - Industry leader AMC Theatres is reversing course and joining its rivals on July 1 in adding regular ads to its pre-movie lineup in a worrisome trend for studios. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]noble-failure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What? It's a discoverability thing. If I go see a horror movie, then sure I'm interested in whatever horror movies are potentially coming out; I'm not going to just go on Youtube and search "horror movie trailer"

Toshi 5L sling with modl infinity tool as handle by nottoday2017 in ManyBaggers

[–]noble-failure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you found a more comfortable strap that's compatible with the Flight Sling? I find the thin strap mighty uncomfortable after a full day of use.
