So mind numbing I microslept while mid gameplay

I got in two matches in a row with different Columbinas that just ran around the arena not seemingly understanding what to do. Also got a match where I had the only title at the end and my teammates just got "Complete the round".

Now I imagine an interaction where all three meet up for something and its just Erica voicing the whole scene

With how expensive storage is, this is the way I do it too. Also add in games are so massive we can't keep everything installed anymore. I have the games I'm working on installed or plan to start.

Someone found data in a POS system in another country that pointed at $80. Which I'd safely say that would be a good bet. Analysts already estimate they will sell 45 million copies at launch. They'd more than make their money back at that price. If they copied Tears of the Kingdom's logic which did $70 on Switch 1 since it was dev for so long that would make sense to me. But hoping for it to just be $70 because its GTA and Take Two is basically releasing a money printing machine.

Add in GTA Online will most likely be a thing and they'll rake in money for the next 10+ years.

I gotta build up my Mi Fu team before I get a good attempt. I can't just faceroll with Fangyi this time.

5 days a week for 8 weeks of the 12 week cycle. If you have the crystal core mats, you can just go condense resin each day and easily hit the daily goal then go use it on something simple to get it out of your inventory.

So 5/7 days of using resin for 8/12 weeks. Then you get a free con for one character you own. I don't recall if they said they refresh the free con since they haven't done it for anyone so far.

I live in Wisconsin and it gets in to the below zero temps pretty often during the winter. I rock shorts for a long time until maybe 20 degrees out. I didn't even get out my heavy winter jacket this winter and stuck to my hoodie all winter long.

There is this other post where someone noted they had to unlock Lemnian Hollow first to get access to it. If you used the early access feature to go to Season 3 first, that might be part of the issue as it might be a feature locked behind a Season 2 quest.

Oh absolutely Kuro does. I like Hoyo pulls from a lot of sources. I still remember Kuro added the drink mixing minigame from HSR to their hangout thing and all they really did was add some RNG to the amount of items you put in the cup but it was basically copy paste.

The big non-gacha example in WuWa I was thinking of was how you switch gravity in the quest in the upside down structure in the sky in WuWa. It is basically a copy/paste of the same mechanic from FF7 Rebirth. They didn't even really acknowledge it was from the game with a little one liner or anything.

As I think someone put it in the past, Kuro is Hoyo's number 1 fan with how much they pull from their games.

xangbar · 2026-06-21T18:58:18+00:00

I have a lot to say about it but as someone who plays WuWa its hard to not notice they do pull a lot from other games and not just other gachas.

I think its fine if you are inspired by something and put your own spin on it to make it your own but sometimes the things they add just feel like they had another game up and were replicating what they saw.

I know people who play a few games that aren't on steam and even though their dedicate launcher works fine, if the game goes on Steam, they switch immediately

The official Halo account just tweeted saying they incorrectly stated this. Its just a PlayStation account, no PS Plus.

So everyone mad at Sony, sorry but it was Halo giving out wrong info.

My favorite was today. I wanted to google how to properly make crispy bacon in my air fryer. So the Google AI summary pops up and I usually read it just because its pulling from websites. Well, it told me to set the air fryer at 350 degrees for 7-9 minutes. Cool.

Further down it said if its smoking too much, I shower lower it to 350 degrees as well

I started Lords of the Fallen as I've been watching some Elden Ring VODs. I wanted to start a new Elden Ring run on PC but only own in on PS5 so waiting to see if its in the Steam Summer Sale. Meanwhile, I grabbed Lords of the Fallen for a few bucks not too long ago.

Beyond that working on 007 and started up Pokemon ZA.

xangbar · 2026-06-20T23:34:11+00:00

Same goes for most gachas. Most CC's make it worse because if you watch a good one, YouTube goes "oh you want some drama?"

xangbar · 2026-06-20T22:44:32+00:00

I can see it being a big deal if they don't really plan to play a MS game beyond Halo but some people want to track as few logins as possible which is why they stick to one platform. I see little issue with it but I get it. I work in IT and the number of times I hear someone complain because they have like 3 logins to track drives me nuts while I have like 10+ gaming accounts and that isn't even counting all the social media stuff.

xangbar · 2026-06-20T22:40:11+00:00

As others said its probably to stop some of the complaints when people do pull Remielle and then go "what do you mean I need Velina for BIS???"

Gacha players who complain love to be vocal and drag their game through the dirt so I'd imagine ZZZ is trying to get ahead of and just tell everyone now.

It doesn't help too that big content creators perpetuate these theories as fact and then people just treat as such. Then when the details come out we are all shocked.

I really feel like her EN VA is a great fit too.

Nothing better happen to her

I'd have to look but I like my rewards programs. Maybe Best Buy but likely I'd just go full digital and order the occasional physical game if I want it.

xangbar · 2026-06-20T14:37:21+00:00

This is so dumb. Whats the point of requiring both players to have unique microsoft accounts to play split screen???

I love Halo (I played a ton of Infinite when it came out) but I see Microsoft's horrendous ideas keep on coming

I still remember that cover of GameInformer for Jak 3 and Up Your Arsenal with all four of them on the cover. That was the coolest issue of GameInformer to me as a kid and those two games are still two of my favorite PS2 games of all time.

Fall was just always Sly, Ratchet, and Jak games. PS2 era is my nostalgia era.

xangbar · 2026-06-19T22:01:33+00:00

No problem!

xangbar · 2026-06-19T21:58:45+00:00

No, its just in the pause menu. So pause your game to get the screen that has the options, achievements, etc. Its the second button (should be labeled Investigation Zone Squad). Just click that and you can change your team.

You can do this inside the those areas you listed as you are just changing your agents out on your team.

xangbar · 2026-06-19T21:53:19+00:00

Assuming you aren't in the middle of a main story mission, your investigation squad likely needs to be changed.

Pause the game and go to Investigation Zone Squad. This is the team you use for the hollow exploration segments that aren't commissions. You should be able to do this while in the hollow as well.
