Quick reminder for folks who are interested. What are you expecting for this year's show?

 

TL;DW: Switch 1 games that struggled with framerate now run much better on Switch 2 via backwards compatibility. Batman Arkham Knight ran at an abysmal ~20FPS on the original Switch, but now runs at a stable 30.

Magic in every single souls game drops off in the late-game. Especially in Elden Ring, magic doesn't deal enough damage to justify standing still, casting, and managing your FP bar when every boss is charging straight at you.

The only one of these games where you can magic 'til the end without suffering is Dark Souls 2. Therefore, DS2 is the best souls game. I rest my case.

Indeed, I'm probably not going to permanently make the switch until lemm.ee goes down but I'm feeling good about piefed (:

Makes sense., something as huge and expensive as Signal can't run entirely on donations.

Is it out yet? Last I checked it was a demo only.

Slightly offtopic but it would be great if I could see the contents of each comment in the notifications page rather than have to click on them one by one to read what someone said.

I love Berserk but uh Schierke having a weird crush on Guts definitely treads on the sexualizing-young-characters trope

Definitely. People need to understand this tech isn't for the average person, but there are still a lot of people that would definitely benefit from it. If you told someone scientists are researching drilling machines to your bone you'd get similar WTF responses, but that's how modern limb replacement works.

What's damning is how the most harmless subreddits is now full of astroturfing. Television subreddit? Suddenly the top article is praising some show you never heard of. Meme subreddit? Here's a meme about some music video or hot new product. Game subreddit? Here's some random cosplay girl that's only here to advertise her social media.

I don't remember who said it but there's a general rule that if your subreddit has over 500k subscribers, it's already full of bots and dying. Any mainstream sub is insanely astroturfed.

And don't get me fucking started on social media twitter accounts. HAHA GUYS CHECK OUT THIS FUNNY MEME SHARED BY #WENDY'S!!
