Did Pat's crazy talk activate when he talked about AoT2? He mentioned hard missions to save characters that canonically die, but i cant find that feature mentioned anywhere?

I rather sympathized with people who argued that the remaster ruined SotC's aesthetics, but I was really brought around by the last Colossus fight.

Same. I did feel like the remaster looked fine, but it just being a straight remake felt kinda lame. The Hydrus fight with the new water effects were super nice and made me like that fight a lot more than I used to and Malus looks absolutely amazing in the remake with all of the updated effects. I still prefer the washed out look of the original, but if my only option were the remake I would not be against it.

You can put it down to technical limits, but the original had this bleak austerity to its graphics that's lost in translation - like a classical Chinese painting versus a photorealist work.

God I really loved that SotC playthrough. I really wish the guys would play more games they love and know tons about. Part of my favourite thing of Pat's old playthroughs is him explaining absolutely everything about Dark Souls to Woolie and Resi to Matt. It's great when they get to gush.

The Dark Souls playthrough might be my favourite on the channel since the formula of backseat knowledgeable, player clueless is a lot of fun for that kind of game, but it also probably helped a ton that I was doing my first playthrough at the same time.

The Dark Souls 3 playthrough was a lot of fun too for just how excited Pat was at everything.

That is the case indeed.

Unrelated, buuuuuuuuut my girlfriend and I are kinda getting hooked on Virtua Fighter 5, Pat was right. Puyo Puyo is also pretty cool, and Yakuza 6 plays well.

buy a chromecast or something

That being said I do understand not wanting to do that. You can probably just disable automatic updates and stuff and hopefully it won't download an update to fix the demo

We have a tiny room, just unplugging the switch's HDMI and instead plugging on a laptop will do.

Someone's deffo gonna get mega fired. AU and EU got the right version up, it's only PSN US that got the full game as a demo.

Cats have a symbiotic relationship with toxoplasma gondii where the parasite reproduces in the cat and in return, they reduce the fear/stress impulse in organisms around them so cats hunt better, and it also makes humans more amenable to them because they feel relaxed with cats around. There's the usual hyperbole for entertainment's sake and a few technical errors about how domestication exactly works, but I can't think of anything that was genuinely wrong with what he said.

Cats do not have toxoplasma gondii by default and being a cat owner doesn't mean you're infected with it too unless you've been huffing five day old cat feces. The research on humans having the same behavioral alterations as infected rodents definitely isn't far along for someone to just state it as its a fact.

Haven't heard the latest version of this, but to be fair "look the way you want" feels like it's becoming a staple feature in MMOs and loot based games. I don't really see why MH couldn't just have cosmetic slots or something - I don't feel like you gain a lot of knowledge from knowing what someone's actually wearing, and even then they could just surface that in some post mission menu.

The thing is MHW does have cosmetic slots. It's just restricted to this one set of pre-order DLC armor for some baffling reason. MHXX even had transmog as a major feature!

I assume armor transmog is just a feature that's gonna be patched in because yeah, it's literally already there with the pre-order set and the Ryu skin you can get.

The Ryu and Aloy skins are just sets of (lovely) armor. Only the Samurai armor is purely cosmetic.

Transmog is a confirmed feature coming to a later update. It might be in the big spring update or it might be coming out in the fall in time for the PC release. It's definitely coming, though.

This was mentioned in some translated Tweet that I of course can't locate while writing this post!

Edit: Okay, slight egg on my face. It's not yet been confirmed from any official sources but as transmog was introduced with XX it's very likely to come along in some MHW DLC.
