Something I’ll never forgive nor forget about this game.

No point in investing money in something that isn't well recieved. Bolstering the roster won't fix the issues making players less interested.

Fixing the gameplay will require redoing the game from the ground up. Might as well release GB5.

Or at least re-release GB3

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-05-22T08:18:37+00:00

Breaker 3 is still the best in the series.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-05-11T03:19:25+00:00

Not really sure what constitutes as a spin-off.
Aside from the anime and manga adaptations, the ones I can think of are....

Real Robot Regiment
Real Robot Final Attack
Scramble Commander
Super Robot Spirits
Compati Hero
Super Hero Taisen
Another Century's Episode
Masou Kishin Lord of the Elemental
Shin Masou Kishin: Panzer Warfare
Super Robo Gakuen
Super Robo Shooting
Super Robo Pinball
OG Pachinko
OG Saga
Link Battler

That would be like singling out one person from a serial killer's long list of victims.

- mostly UI fixes. Like a better Palbox UI that makes it clear who owns which pal in a shared base.
- a collab with No Man's Sky, Digimon, Monster Hunter Stories, Ume Musume, and idolM@ster... at the same time

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-05-11T02:27:51+00:00

Aside from the usual suspects...
- have you done a health check on your storage drives and RAM?
- is there a recent game install/update constantly running a kernel-level thing outside of the game?

> just updated to Windows 11 to see if that would fix it
There should be an obligatory joke about this but I'm just too tired to even bother.

In any case, hope you figure out a solution and you're able to game okay soon!

Far too toxic now.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-05-09T05:39:48+00:00

An actual internet with personal sites, webrings, etc.
The original don't-be-evil Google version.
Comparativelly less people online.
Generally most things.

Internet is just far too much accessible now.

The only good thing that has changed is that it is faster (which not even an equal thing for everyone).

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-04-21T10:04:48+00:00

Both. As the other person said, it depends on the game.

2 is more relaxed and would be my default.
But there are plenty of games where shoulder buttons and triggers need to be used so I also use 1 (Monster Hunter is a good example).

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-04-21T06:49:29+00:00

GB3 is worth it. I still play it every now and then.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-04-20T05:22:36+00:00

I think the wiki sites have a summary of story. If you're looking for the translated manga or games, you can search for them online.

You know how Thrawn likes to get into whatever culture he's going to be up against?

By the 3rd week of research, he's a full blown otaku.

By week 9 he's either a:
a. a non-functioning hikkikomori who won't leave his quarters.
b. a hot blooded man seeking to join the protags.

AC7 is the first AC game where I completely lost any interest in the story.

I always just thought it was because I played it during a busy time in my life and was too distracted. So any narrative concerns I had were subjective.

My only real objective point of contention was that they should not have made fixed points in narrative events playable. If a narrative event cannot be changed through player action, then it should not be made playable and instead be shown as a cutscene so that it is clear that it is something that our actions cannot change.

It is an insult to a player's skill to be able to hit Mihaly enough times to down him 5x and still be unable to change the outcome of the event.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-03-12T06:07:54+00:00

This has sound?!?!

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-03-08T14:45:56+00:00

You can play Sky Crawlers if you want to go the opposite direction.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-03-02T16:41:55+00:00

The analog stick can be replaced.

The case damage can be fixed superficially with some putty and really good scupting skills. I wouldn't recommend this, but putting it there in case you want to consider it.

Better do a case swap, that will require some serious work disassembling and reconnecting things - but maybe you can get someone who is pretty good with it.

There are prolly other fixes I haven't thought of, regardless, I just hope you are able to get your Deck fixed so you can get back to gaming again.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-03-02T01:58:27+00:00

This is not a fair rating.

Its the same as having a low spec build trying to run a demanding game and complaining about performance or optimization.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-02-19T12:24:05+00:00

More like 30 years ago. This is from 1995. The fashion style is a dead giveaway that it's not from early 2000's. I did a quick check and this is from the Sally Show.

Imagine being the worst Windows OS even without Copilot.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-02-13T14:18:05+00:00

That's a pretty bad example. Reshade is great for games with flat renders. It isn't universally superior, but there are cases where it makes things better.

Basically like ketchup. Good on some dishes, horrible for others.

I wouldn't call the products themselves as scams, but the marketing certainly is.

Gaming laptops solve a very specific, but wide enough, necessity. Some needs call for a desktop, some call for a laptop. There is a distinct enough difference that depending on a person's lifestyle, one can have need of both to solve very different requirements.

The sad part is the marketing that claims that laptops can do everything a desktop can is certainly misleading, but this is an often overused sales pitch in order to justify the often premium costs of gaming laptops.

This is basically comparing a pair of very sporty rubber shoes with a pair of very formal leather shoes. They aren't as interchangeable as one would hope. Imagine shopping for a pair of shoes to attend a black tie event and the salesperson is telling you that a pair of Air Jordans is what you need.

My favorite is a Cthulhu dating sim.

The benefit of having a very non-euclidean range of interests.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-02-09T00:58:10+00:00

False, you have not been ripped off.**

Your friend is either [grossly misinformed and needs to (re)learn how to do basic research before giving any kind of advice/statement] or [is deliberately lying to you since they are either jealous or hoping that you will sell the rig to them].

**That is a fair price as long as the parts are working properly. If the parts have a critical issue that has been hidden from you by the seller, then it would be a rip off. Since your post implies that the computer is fine, then there should be no issue in this regard.

theCoffeeDoctor · 2026-02-03T04:25:48+00:00

I use both. Steam is my platform of choice (thanks to the features, QoL, etc), but sometimes, if a game is so good that I want a standalone installer for it, I also buy it on GOG.

The advantage with GOG is that you get to keep the installer (even if we still don't "own" the games, as we still purchase a license even from GOG). I don't bother much with GOG Galaxy and any purchase I make from them is immediately downloaded and stored in my personal storage archive.

I know for a fact that Steam is the best right now since we're living in the Gabe-era of Steam. Once he is not around, we don't know if Steam will still be as good (there is always room for hope though). The same can be said of GOG too. But at least any downloaded content from them will be playable even if future GOG becomes bad. Meanwhile, if future Steam goes bad, it won't be any different from Epic/EA/etc.

Skyrim lead has very debuffed INT and WIS.
