im on a 12 day streak :y:

10 for me. 13 total. 100%.

No issues yet. Played for about 6-8 hours over the weekend with no issues so far.

Nothing too crazy

iBUYPOWER - SlateMR Gaming Desktop - Intel i7 11700F - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB - 480GB SSD

Thats a damn fine rig, especially landing a 30xx series card in the shortage. I thought about buying a premade rig this time around with the shortages but in the end I just bided my time over the course of like 7 or 8 months until I could land all the parts I wanted at retail value. Finding a brand new 3080 for 700 bucks was like looking for a needle in a haystack the size of Mt. Everest and then finding a golden ticket instead. I was very close to just buying a prebuilt with a 2080 Super or something.

I ended up with over 3 grand in this PC but it should last a looooooong time so I think it was worth it. The only area I really don't throw all the loot at is my monitor. Yeah I could buy a 120hz 24 inch 4k for like 700-1000 or whatever they cost but I'm happy at 60 frames locked on everything so I just got a 50inch 4k60 TV with HDR for like 250 lmao. First test I gave this PC was "can it run unoptimized af Cyberpunk 2077?" Runs it in native 4k, 60 frames steady, everything cranked to ultra and doesn't even break a sweat. Love my consoles but there is nothing like high end PC gaming.

I'm also a filthy pirate from time to time and the Great Sea of PC is much easier to navigate than the Console Straights. Don't have to void your warranties and potentially brick your system to run bootlegs, or more importantly as it's what most of my piracy is, emulators. I love emulators and going back and playing all kinds of old niche games I'll never play otherwise. Found some of my favorite games ever by just going through random rankings lists online and giving things I'd never heard of a try. Terranigma comes to mind, that was a damn GEM on super nintendo and nobody played it. Chrono Trigger is my favorite game ever...but I never made it past like half way in Chrono Cross back in the day for some reason. Went back recently and bootlegged it and found an HD texture replacement pack for it, cranked up all the weird emulator settings, and it ended up looking almost like a ps2 game in detail with no high res and no jaggies.
Was very nice. WOOOO LATE NIGHT SEPH RAMBLINGS.

Oh yeah, the reason I came here. So...I know gaming turns into a gambling addiction for people, especially with GACHA games. Well...I have a GACHA game addiction. But not the gambling bit, weirdly. I am addicted to wasting endless amounts of idle time manually grinding GACHA games just to prove I can be a king even if I'm F2P. I'm pretty damn boss in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and Bleach Brave Souls, never spent a dime. This has led me to my latest curse: Megaman X DiVE. It is by far the most grindiest, tedious, gambling-encouraging GACHA I have every come across. You hit the wall FAST in this game. Maybe an hour and a half in at most. And I mean THE WALL. It is terrible. And I love it and I can't stop playing oh God somebody help me.

The only saving grave in this game over FF and Bleach is that it is typical Megaman. It plays just like you think it would other than the different characters having different special moves. Getting a good character is still key because of those moves, but it's still megaman. If you are skilled enough and have enough to patience to deal with bullet sponge bosses, you can progress a ways past where you are currently ranked. You have to be damn near perfect and be ready to spend a long time dodging those same patterns on the bosses though.

Yeah, I may have underestimated it's capability. Ran final fantasy 7 remake (the new ps5 upgraded version) on ultra settings at 120 fps and it didn't hitch or lag in the slightest. I am very happy right now.

Bruhhhhh fuck me!


2 weeks ago I deleted The Witcher 3 off my PS4 to fit a couple other games on it. I was just taking a small break from Witcher 3. I put it back on today to continue some hardcore playing and my save file is gone. I looked everywhere. Looked online for tips. It's just gone. I dont know how I did that. Probably about 45 hours of gameplay and I was not even halfway through the base game part. I was just having a blast. Farming items and armor and doing side quests.


This is legit heartbreaking.

damn.... should have saved it to the cloud bro.






Finally bought Breath of the Wild and starting that journey. Holy schnikes batman, its far and above what I ever expected. They're just like "go figure it out" kinda like the first Zelda.

Ya


Well, I'm restarting it. I love the game a lot. At least I know what to do.

I've tried to replay it a few times, always get a few hours in..... and just can't.


So much to do, played it to death when it first came out and just burned myself out.


Blood & Wine DLC is great.

There's something about Breath of the Wild I can't label.......


The sounds, the environment, just the "overall" everything about the game feels amazing. I want to KEEP exploring, find more, do more. It is incredibly unforgiving, and I forget that often, being a Zelda game.


I am going to play the HELL outta this game. I am NOT getting all 900 korok seeds tho :|

I think it was last year I said Cyberpunk was probably going to be the only game I'd play or was exited about until the next Horizon. Now that we are a week away I am once again excited to play Horizon after indeed not really playing much since Cyberpunk.

Also sad because now I'm not really excited for anything until the next Mass Effect which won't be for like 5 or 6 years at this rate.

Breath of the Wild is pretty amazing.


Cyberpunk, on the current gen or high-end PC plays phenomenally well. Albeit still lacking a lot of the shit they touted.

I took launch weekend off to play Horizon 2. Wanna play that now!

Needs me my horizonz

Just finished Mass Effect 2. Great game. 2 people ended up dying i think. There were two caskets at the end. I know Thane died escorting Chokawa and i think Zaed died. Both where the 2 that i failed loyalty quests with.

I can't decide what I had more fun playing. ME2 or Witcher 3.

i think witcher 3 is the best game of the last console generation. me3 is an easy 10 but i dont think its the best of its gen... probably would give that to TLoU

I didnt play the Mass Effect games when they came out.


I might be wrong, but playing these games back to back to back like I am , is amazing. I love the entire story. I know it's not the greatest story ever, but the lore and the continuation into the next games are amazing. After I played ME1 I had so much nostalgia for catching up with my old squad members. When I get to see Garrus in ME2, one of the best bits of game play I can remember. I was bummed about the Ashley stuff in ME2. Cause i banged her in ME 1.

I just killed my first Diablos in MHW. 31 minute fight. I had to piss like a fucking race horse for 25 of those minutes but there was no pause. I got him though boys!

i love ME1 the most of the 3 but ME is an all time great series. i dont throw around 10/10 lightly at all. but imo witcher 3 is a game that transcends rating systems. its on a whole other level. to have that much content thats THAT polished...its unheard of. its a game so good it makes you want to rethink how good other games were.

What system? I can fuck some shit up in MHW

I play on PS4. I'm only a HR 9 so far. Wish i had a way to get more appreciation tickets so i can get some of this layered gear i missed.

Tickets come from Arena quests usually - have to go to the Gathering Hub for that. It really is an amazing game that rewards knowing your prey.


I'm MR400-500 last I played

So I finally popped Fallout 4 GoTY in. And did a bunch of research on mods and downloaded a ton of them I liked. Nothing too cheat. I'm not sure how to use them cause i'm fresh out of the vault and just found Concord ( if that means anything to anyone ). But really love the game so far. Cant wait to start building my settlement.

If you like the settlement stuff, then Sim Settlements is a must have mod for you.

I have that stuff. I just dont understand how to access it atm. I'm in a spot called Concord and its obvious i cant just start building shit i guess. I got a dog though. That's all that matters.

It means you're about to meet Preston "Another settlement needs our help" Garvey. Sorry in advance.

So i got to this point and it was dark and I couldnt see shit so i quit. lol



Maybe try tomorrow.

turn on a pipboy light or 2x check one of the mods isnt for the environment to make it "true dark".

Horizon: Forbidden West

I've never been obsessed with any game like Elite Dangerous. The game mechanics are so deep you kind of need a manual to play it.

I spent a few days just exploring deep space and mapping undiscovered planets. When I got back I sold it all to the Earth Defense Fleet and made about 50 million dollars, which is a lot for a new player and chump change for the really experienced ones with billions.

You can just be a space trucker or you can dive into combat. So many directions to go. There are explorers who spend all their time jumping from star to star out in the unknown galaxy. Feels like 5 or 6 different games in one. It's a really easy way to lose 4 hours.

Eve Online is way more serious business with even more depth.

I've heard stories.

In ED a group of players kidnapped people and forced them into slavery. So that was neat.

I never was interested in EVE. Seemed like a money sink.

No Man's Sky is my preferred space exploration game. I don't think the gameplay is as deep as Elite, but the worlds you can explore are more interesting.

Yeah, there's planet level stuff, but it's mostly very similar. I have more fun jumping from star to star and shooting probes at interesting looking planets.

Right now I'm taking passengers on sight seeing tours.

I dont normally buy digital games, but Playstation store had a 75% off weekend deal and I know these games are either not physical release or they are super expensive like Limited Run Games.



I grabbed Salt and Sanctuary for $5.39 and I got The Coma 2 : Vicious Sisters for $4.
