Better this time, largely because I figured out how trams work.

Think I'm gonna try a third time and space a proper grid out.

You can always download it and then immediately uninstall the EGS app if you hate it but it's worth it for this game

It's got gorgeous art and incredible music and surreal writing and a cast with plenty of interesting queer characters and you can romance a bat and get a third eye installed and assassinate a sun

I rarely ever mod my games outside of fan patches to fix bugs but I'm looking for games that have some quality mods.

Project Reality for Battlefield 2 comes to mind. That's a quality mod that's now it's own standalone game.

TIL, after years of playing Stardew Valley on-off, that Pierre apparently has quite the (well-deserved) hatedom.

I've been looking at the Chinese Android/Linux emulation handheld scene for a few years now and while I think these things are really neat I've never bought one. They've always either been too expensive or too compromised/crappy with no middle ground.

The RG35XX H from earlier this year was pretty close- it had a horizontal form factor, Bluetooth, Wifi, a full set of buttons and analog sticks, decent build quality and performance that could easily handle everything up to PS1 (and could stretch just a little bit beyond that), and could be bought for less than 70 dollars. I hated that it had those in-line shoulder buttons a lot of these Chinese manufacturers love and I wished the screen had been just a bit bigger.

(To be fair, I wouldn't mind a device that could readily play DC, N64, PSP and even the Saturn, but that sort of performance seems to cost at least 130-150 dollars and would most likely end up costing about 200€ in Europe)

This new RG40XX H looks to be the exact same thing as the 35XX H but with a 4-inch screen and stacked shoulder buttons. If it's not horribly more expensive than the previous model I might finally end up getting one

especially with the new update, it seems completely impossible. I've tried the macao strategy, but now portugal wants me to cede the entire fucking state of guangdong! yeah i banned opium but now i have to get that whole fucking state back! is there another way?

Let me rant for a bit about something silly.

Okay so like you might have noticed I'm on a bit of a Monster Hunter kick lately because I finally got around to playing World. My experience so far has been good, with me having played since Tri it's been somewhat easy to solo my way up to master rank only using sos flairs to farm monsters faster when I get bored with the grind and everyone I've played with online so far has been super cool.

Anyway having beaten the game and unlocking the expansion I've been finishing up the remaining HR quests I reached the FF Collab quest where you fight a Behemoth. I don't like the collabs for the most part so I just wanted to get it done for completions sake. managed to solo the first Behemoth fight "The Legendary Beast" but it was clear that there was a certain way you're supposed to do the fight, so I decided to look for advice before I attempt the second fight ""He Taketh it With His Eyes." Reddit had a few posts about it so I took a look to see if there was any good tips.

Good lord the people on the Monster Hunter Reddit are a bunch of obnoxious whiners. The comments I saw on posts where people were asking for advice to beat a monster were about 5% actual decent advice and 25% terrible advice and 70% people complaining about lower rank and unskilled hunters not knowing how to beat a boss.

Now, this pisses me off, because the whole gameplay loop of Monster Hunter is YOU USUALLY SUCK BEFORE YOU GET USED TO THE MONSTERS TELLS, IT'S PART OF THE JOURNEY. So if you're going to play this kind of game cooperatively with online strangers, you're going to get people who are fighting this thing for the first time, and complaining about them not knowing the gimmick of the monster is IMO stupid and missing the point.

People are so obnoxiously great man theroried and hyper individualised that the idea of teamwork has become this competition of who can be the most individually perfect rather than a cooperative exchange where someone playing might suck a little today so they can get better and pay you back by sucking less tomorrow.

It bugs me because while I'm good at Monster Hunter now, I remember back when I first played Tri I started out terrible.

Anyway, my point is I hate the "Everyone sucks but me" gamers who turn everything into a pissing contest. I just had to get that off my chest.

EA kills Dead Space after a turn to co-op action schlock guest-starring microtransactions fails to result in bazillions of sales

Years later, some former devs announce a spiritual successor. After initial fan hype gets dinged by ongoing negative press for the in-development Callisto Protocol, EA suddenly announces a Dead Space 1 remake, deflating Callisto Protocol's hype even more- who needs a spiritual successor when the original is back?

Callisto Protocol finally comes out. It runs like shit on PC, the story sucks and people hate the gameplay. It fails to sell enough to justify a sequel

The Dead Space remake comes out and by all accounts is a success. The disappointment of Callisto Protocol is quickly forgotten and people are excited for the future- DS2 remake next?

EA decides the remake didn't sell enough and the devs are shuffled off to make more Battlefield or whatever

A year or two ago it seemed like we were in the middle of a huge survival horror resurgence but I'm not sure if any bigger franchise outside of Resident Evil has actually seen any kind of tangible success. The Alone in the Dark remake crashed and burned this year and took down its developer with it. I'm interested to see how the Silent Hill 2 remake does

There are some insane deals this year
