  1. Factorio looks like one of these games that I wouldn't like playing, and while they're from a different genre, that is also true for games like Magnum Opus or Human Resource Machine. The former which was recommended to me and sits mostly unplayed in my Steam library (although I finished the achievements for the mini-game in Magnum Opus, which locked me out of a refund by way of playing more than two hours), the latter my boss once showed up with on his tablet at work. I don't mind puzzle games, or games that need serious thinking, but I really don't want my games to be my job with a different UI. HRM was probably the worst offender, it's basically a visual coding platform disguised as a game and has you develop quicksort for its final level, or at least it does so if you want to have a good score for the level. Speaking of games that are like jobs, has anyone ever made a 1st level support simulator game?
  2. I know this was not a serious question, but the answer is that, while seppuku was seen as a sort of socially idealized response to losing one's face, in reality it was not practiced nearly as much as popcultural depiction would suggest. Especially not when looking at its usual depiction as a way to evade the disgrace of defeat. You're not going to win any wars if all your samurai (or even just the officers) ritually kill themselves after losing a battle, after all. Oh, and the practice was limited to the aristocracy (i.e. samurai). The OVA also seems to be an adaptation (of a sort) of an Edo period novel, so that would track. Was my first reaction to seeing the image. "That looks an awful lot like Tsukikage Ran."
  3. I generally go with the Alucard aesthetic. So, like, the boy version of @Bartimaeus' goth girl.
  4. So, do you still like shrimp or has Dennis Quaid managed to turn you off?
  5. There was way too much combat in the game even when there were all these massive bugs making it easier and shorter. I dread to think of playing it now, really. I'm good with my first playthrough, read the other ending slides, that'll suffice. For a long time.
  6. So whatcha all posting this Hamas propaganda garbage for? Clearly all the death and destruction would stop if Hamas just surrendered unconditionally, and they'd all be treated super well by the IDF. Unlike the hostages.
  7. Anyone else get this feeling of "oh, don't worry, he just wants to play" right before a dog bites someone's arm off whenever Bruce tells us to not worry about what Trump says? He just wants to play in the White House, after all. That reminds me of a joke. What's got four legs and an arm?
  8. How does one "accidentially" do the romances when every interaction that leads to a romance has ginormous red heart as interaction symbol? I mean, really, having a negative opinion of video game romances (Iron Bull + male MC is complete hilarity though) is fine, but you can't do them accidentially Inquisition or Veilguard. They're marked with a giant warning symbol reading "don't click if you dislike romances", after all.
  9. I'm pretty sure you're onto something big here, have you considered making YouTube videos for the Manosphere?
  10. 's not just that, the Arch-Militant's Versatility should only have stacked up when switching between different attacks, but it did for every attack after using Wildfire. Combine that with stacking extra turns through multiple Officers and the busted damage bonus from being adjacent to your characters, and enemies would be in a world of pain really quickly. Every stack of Versatility improved damage and your weapon skill, which in turn made hitting enemies with bursts from across the screen viable. It was so silly that Argenta's best weapon was the autogun with its insane burst attack - but I kept on using the bolter because it was more appropriate.
  11. Well, look at that. Gains over the 7800X3D look pretty good, but Steve's chart shows that AMD is doing an Intel here now that moving the cache around increased their thermal headroom. Gains in performance of the 9800X3D come from a pretty steep increase in power usage over the 7800X3D: On the flipside that doesn't look like there's a Zen 5 bottleneck. The increase in performance just comes from using more power on a similarily performing architecture. The CPU is, of course, still more efficient than Intel CPUs in gaming due to their much higher framerates at a still lower power budget. Again this is something that will never change for gaming until Intel - or any other competitor - can get a gaming focused CPU with equally large caches out there.
