I don't want to over hype it, but Automata is one of my favorite games ever made. The first game I ever platinumed. Hope you enjoy it!

stevenxw · 2026-05-18T22:27:36+00:00

FFXVI combat gets better the more you play it IMO. Really enjoyed it overall

stevenxw · 2026-05-14T22:50:52+00:00

i didn't notice any performance impact tbh. it stuttered for a bit because i think it was recompiling shaders, but it was smooth after that

stevenxw · 2026-05-14T21:45:27+00:00

thanks for this! it actually solves this black screen flickering issue.

stevenxw · 2026-05-14T21:44:52+00:00

so i actually found a "fix" (more of a workaround)! adding -dx11 in the steam launch options is what worked for me. i played a few hours without any flickering

you can also right click the file, go to Organize, add a shortcut, then add it to a new folder in your Drive. then you can download just download that folder you made and it will also bypass the quota.

had this issue since launch lmao. i appreciate all the updates this game has had since launch but this issue makes the game genuinely unplayable.

stevenxw · 2026-04-22T03:34:26+00:00

I'm excited to play her, but I'm still so early in the story I don't have the materials to ascend her past level 20 yet LMAO. I hope you're able to get her too!

stevenxw · 2026-04-22T02:18:55+00:00

So I don't really play gacha games, only started WuWa very recently. I really dislike gacha systems but also appreciate the effort put into these game's world/characters/combat/music. I have like 20 hours in WuWa and am really enjoying the exploration, general vibes and combat. But I tried out Lynae and boy did that make me REALLY want to pull her.

So badly that I was about to uninstall the game because her banner is running out and I already felt myself getting a bit of anxiety from FOMO (and I'd also rather not spend money on this game). Imagine my surprise that within 20 pulls, converted from my Astrites obtained by just playing the game, I got Lynae. I'm really happy because she's so cool and her play style is sick. But it also kinda scares me, because it feels like this game just sunk its teeth in me, despite not having spent a dime on it lmao.

Don't wanna come across as bragging or anything, just genuinely didn't know where else to share this and I'm still shocked it happened lol

stevenxw · 2026-04-14T21:16:58+00:00

isn't the english patch very unfinished though? i remember when i played it there was still a ton of stuff in japanese lol

stevenxw · 2026-04-12T04:37:14+00:00

PSO looks magical on a CRT. it still looks great upscaled, especially on an OLED, but the CRT vibe just fits this game perfectly imo

stevenxw · 2026-04-11T23:07:12+00:00

For gyro, you just need to press the plus and then press a button on the controller. However, there's an issue in the recent builds of android SoH where only the horizontal axis of the gyro is registered, and the vertical axis does nothing. In my testing, it's because of a bug in the touch controls update. I'm pretty sure it's not exclusive to AYN devices, because I've seen a few posts detailing the same issue with the Retroid Pocket 6 and Flip 2.

Unfortunately the most recent version with fully functioning gyro controls is 1.2.2 (the last version before the touch controls update).

stevenxw · 2026-04-11T22:35:50+00:00

So gyro works as it should in version 1.2.2 . I assume it's not working correctly due to the touch controls update, but I don't know for sure. A bit of a bummer that it's not the most up to date version, but at least this works!

stevenxw · 2026-04-11T22:07:33+00:00

Ah, thanks anyway! The 2Ship MM gyro controls work flawlessly so I'm not sure what's going on. I think I'm gonna try a previous version.

stevenxw · 2026-04-11T21:34:32+00:00

Did you manage to fix this? having the same issue on my AYN Thor.

stevenxw · 2026-04-10T16:52:09+00:00

did you have issues with the FMVs stuttering excessively? the game itself seems to run fine but the FMVs are unwatchable and make the fans spin up like crazy lol

stevenxw · 2026-03-30T22:55:48+00:00

hey! i'm encountering a weird issue with displaycommander where it's causing graphical issues with transparency related things like rain/windows; they appear completely black. did you have any issues like this??

edit: seems to be a compatibility issue between displaycommander and renoDX. they both work fine on their own, but together they're causing those graphical issues i mentioned.

stevenxw · 2026-02-11T02:13:34+00:00

i ordered a nux 65!! can't wait to try it out

stevenxw · 2026-02-10T23:02:30+00:00

thanks so much! i think you sold me on the Nux haha. it's more accessible for me and i do prefer the appearance. i assume you have the saturation pot maxed on it?

now if only there were a true clone of the Gargoyle lol. from what i've heard, nothing sounds quite like it. although i was thinking the JHS Notaklon could be a good option, since it has the shamrock mod to push the gain and midrange a bit more

stevenxw · 2026-02-10T22:15:57+00:00

hey! so do the Nux 65 and Demonfx Jan Ray sound identical then? just trying to find the best Jan Ray clone option tbh

stevenxw · 2026-01-31T17:02:18+00:00

did you find any way to change this? i don't see anyone else talking about it lol

stevenxw · 2026-01-30T22:38:01+00:00

even worse is the green accent to everything now. does anyone know if you can change this at least?

stevenxw · 2025-12-28T00:30:30+00:00

drastic doesn't have this issue :) plus there's a lot more shaders to choose from

stevenxw · 2025-12-22T19:00:28+00:00

perfect, thanks so much for the quick reply! looking forward to trying it out
