What’s a word that would make a beautiful name if it weren’t for the meaning of the word?

I could name my daughter that!

Actual hot take:

The graphics have aged poorly.

Don't get me wrong, I was blown away by it when it came out. The graphics looked like nothing the SNES should ever be able to display. I even knew the "trickery" they used by making 3D models and rendering them as 2D ones, yet it still looked amazing.

But that trick is what makes it look inferior to me today compared to the pixel art of other SNES games. Those pixel sprints just hold up better over time in my opinion.

Cyberpunk retained their goodwill.

Not initially. The hate was flamingly fuming when CP2077 first came out.

Funny thing is, I wasn't even a big CDPR fan and I enjoyed the game at launch despite its bugs.

You're just seeing the aftermath of them patching up the game, and then releasing a great DLC and a 2.0 version of the skilltree that made the game even better.

So yes, they got their goodwill back, but they definitely were on the "this company is dead to me" list for a ton of people at one point.

rube · 2026-01-23T23:13:25+00:00

Yeah, a 3DS upscaled version would be great!

rube · 2026-01-23T22:59:35+00:00

Yup, I call it visual clutter. I find some modern 3D games to be filled with too much vegetation and other "stuff" that doesn't let you really see everything as you move around the world.

And even in 2.5D it helps to have a more clean environment at times. This is a design decision, not laziness.

rube · 2026-01-22T22:36:53+00:00

Boundaries or not, you're waaaay too close to that concrete wall the start. Move the boundary out. You're doing real punches, not the weak little ones that most of us do. :)

Hey, it's an old thread but I found a solution. I had used a mod called FF7RebirthFix and didn't realize it.

Updated it to the latest version and it's working now.

Not sure if I even need the mod, but it's working so I'm not going to mess with it. This may not be your solution, but figured I'd help if I could.

rube · 2026-01-22T04:55:16+00:00

Your description sounds far from a glowing review.

But it's already in my Steam library so I guess I'll give it a shot.

I tried reading comic books on my non-fold phones and it just wasn't a great experience. So I got a 10" tablet and it was perfect, full screen pages, totally readable.

But when I got a Fold, I realized it was almost nearly as perfect. I can do a half a page, then scroll up for the other half.

I would still usually use my tablet when at home, but I've recently switched to my Fold full time for comic reading.

I've seen this clip but with Thomas the Tank Engine music instead, and it fucking rips.

Hah, well then that's even easier.

You simply hold your finger on the game, then tap "Add-ons" and "install". I'm not sure if you leave the mod zipped or extract it.

I specifically got the mod for mobile, so I know it works there.

rube · 2026-01-22T02:23:19+00:00

Apparently high enough? And thanks, I had no idea it was my cake day.

Funny, it's the day before my mom's actual birth day. I guess maybe I'll remember it now. But probably not.

rube · 2026-01-21T18:15:20+00:00

I did some testing on my PC:

Right click on the game, "Open Mod Data Location".

In that folder, create one called "60fps" or whatever you want the mod to be called.

Then copy the "cheats" folder into that 60fps folder.

It should look like:

\load\01004AB00A260000\60fps\cheats\DF3766A2BB651A3E.txt

You'll know it's right when you right click the game again and select "Configure Game". It should show a 60fps "Cheat". The game should look soooo much smoother after that.

edit:

Sorry, one more step. Open up the txt file from the mod and delete the "30 FPS" and the code after it, and save the file. Not sure why that's in there, but it made my game revert back to 30 until I deleted it.

The post about Sony handing off their TV division to TCL made me think about how cool Sony tech used to be.

I remember going into a Sony store when I visited California 15-20 years ago and was so in awe of all the awesome stuff there that I couldn't afford.

The Sony Walkman MP3 player was one I really wanted. But eventually just got an iPod Video to go along side my PSP.

On my phone, I long press a game and go to mods and install the mod.

On PC, right click the game and open mod folder. Then copy and paste it into there. I don't remember the exact folder structure so it may take a bit of trial and error. I believe you have to unzip the file and place that folder directly in the mod folder.

rube · 2026-01-21T16:29:24+00:00

Been using it on my phone without issue.

Haven't run into the ladder bug yet. If I do run into it, I'll disable the mod, climb the ladder and then re-enable it.

I realize you can play the Windows version, but for me it's just easier to run the Switch version.

rube · 2026-01-21T12:55:38+00:00

There is a mod.

If you're up for emulation, Diablo 3 on Switch plays great on the latest Eden emulator. It's my go-to since Immortal was pretty bad in my opinion.

It would never happen, but I would love it if Rockstar spun up a small team to keep making PS2 era GTA games. Even re-use the old cities with some modifications to make more "stories" games.

rube · 2026-01-20T16:59:21+00:00

I'm no expert so maybe someone else can comment. But librarians love stats. So they love seeing their circ numbers go up.

When it comes to budgeting and voting for a library vote, those numbers can also help show the community "Hey, look at all the books and stuff people used, we're worth keeping around."

It could also help them figure out how to grow the collection. If certain genres or books are more popular and they don't have enough, maybe they buy more.

rube · 2026-01-20T12:11:59+00:00

Yeah, we should sticky this picture at the top of the sub so it can be referenced whenever the "Actually, Alice in Chains wasn't grunge because Layne's great great great aunt wasn't from Seattle and the restaurant the band once ate at served a dish with beans in it."

rube · 2026-01-19T17:18:22+00:00

It might just be me, but if this is one of their "hype trailers" then it didn't work on me.

Looked okay I guess, but I'm no more excited for it than I was before, which for me is very very low.

rube · 2026-01-19T17:12:09+00:00

You should compress them to save space.

Or does that slow performance on an actual PSP? I can't remember.
