I totally expect there was some infighting between business units that led to that.

Par for the course for a lot of Sony poo poo, or at least it was. My parents stopped buying sony electronics because of the weird proprietary poo poo that was annoying to replace if it was lost. The memory cards really are highway robbery though, ridiculous.

I just spent two months without my Vita because I lost the stupid proprietary USB charging cable and Sony in their infinite wisdom decided to discontinue them, so the only seller in the whole of Europe that still had a stock of OEM cables lying around is in the UK and they managed to gently caress up my delivery address so I had to wait one month because it was the holidays and it could have been "held up" until the seller got the cable returned due to the wrong address, and then wait for the second cable that just arrived recently. All because Sony is poo poo.

Welcome to untested firmware updates. That problem is hitting tons of people for no good reason.

Also, some reports mention that something gets stuck on the OS background and it keeps draining the battery during suspend/rest. Restarting the Vita should fix it.

Looks like someone grabbed the rights to Umihara Kawase, and it's coming back to Steam. Sounds like it's safe on PSN, though I wonder how they rights transfer might be handled.

Degica did as announced earlier today. Was surprised only the Steam one got taken down during this period; both the 3DS and Vita Kawase games stood by just fine. Wonder if Code of Princess will be taken down at some point, though, since Degica doesn't seem to have bothered with getting the rights for that one.

In NA, you mean. Agatsuma published the game in Europe themselves. Wouldn't be annoying if they hadn't made it eShop only, but oh well. It isn't that great a game anyway.

I played SS up to level 50 or so, then bought SSD as a reward for gaming discipline and transferred my saves over.

SSD is so much better in so many subtle ways. Example: Getting immediate payoffs for sacrificing/saving enemies in combat is huge. It speeds up combat significantly since you're not forced to be miserly with your ammo, or spend time wandering around looking for refill spots. It rewards you for doing things you'd probably already be doing. Adding in factions, so that you're encouraged to focus on saving vs sacrificing, makes it feel rewarding to build up a character and makes your choices in combat feel meaningful. It's like the original SS was released halfway through development.

Portugal does not have its own Amazon instance; most of the non big countries don't in fact. Also, most if not all results you will find for Vita cables on any of the Amazons are third-party garbage with most reviews mentioning how they stop working after a while.

I do not care for the screen in the newer Vita revision, but its standard USB cable would have been a godsend in comparison with what I had to go through to replace mine.

Worse than a proprietary cable is a proprietary cable that Sony stopped producing three years into the Vita's life.

No, but most sellers on Amazon.fr or .co.uk will ship to Portugal, which is why he said "check the closest Amazon instance." :v:

As Lemon Curdistan says, i wasn't expecting your country to have one, but if you're in Portugal, i'm pretty sure amazon.es is uniquely equipped to deliver to your location. As for:

They also all cost somewhere between 1-3 €, which is to say, compared to time of use, pretty much nothing. Just buy a batch of 3 and don't sweat it.

Plus, in some cases they're superior to the original cables. i bought 3 of these and couldn't be happier about them: http://www.amazon.de/dp/B0090WZ5CM/

2 meters long, which is gigantic and accomodates a lot of use cases in my house, including tangling the thing on various corners and things while in bed and still having plenty room to move. Additionally the woven surface makes it easier to move around near metal/plastic surfaces. Sure, one of them had the sleeve break on the plug while in transit because it was bent at a wrong angle, but otherwise i've used one of those for almost a year with no issues whatsoever. Plus, they cost practically nothing.

It's just a power cable.

So does Amazon UK, which is where I ordered mine. I thought you meant getting it from a local Amazon to speed up the process, which is why I replied with "there isn't one".

He enthusiastically posts something about Takaki games almost exclusively and then vanishes. I think the only games he has ever *mentioned* outside of SK, VD, and Uppers are Life is Strange and Godzilla.

I wanna talk about cool games like Warriors stuff and other neat anime things, but he seemingly has no interest. He is my Moriarty now or some poo poo, I dunno. I just get so confused by him!!!!!!!

Hold that pose.
I've gotta get something.
Here's a post about good video games:

Finally got around to getting Trails of Cold Steel, and it feels pretty nice so far. I only just beat the opening dungeon thing, but I still really enjoy this combat system, even though the lack of grid is a little off-putting at first. That said, a few of these characters are really insufferable right off the bat, and opening the game with a "boy and girl fall down, girl lands on boy, girl gets mad at boy forever" bit is incredibly stupid, and I can't wait to play an anime game that doesn't have that in it.

On buying the Lionheart Edition from Amazon Warehouse: The cover and first few pages of the art book at bent about a half-inch from the edge, and there's some small scuffs on the front and back cover, but it's otherwise in decent condition. The pin is nice, but I was kinda hoping it'd at least be a cheap metal rather than thick plastic, but whatever. The big box is really good, though, and honestly a lot better than I was expecting. Got it for barely more than the base game on it's own, and feel it was worth it.

that bit was cool because alisa realizes she was being a dick about it like two hours into the game and apologizes to him

and i can name several thousand anime games without that in it
