sns is cool and good, but tbh if you're not paralyzed by indecision over which weapon to take out next, you're not playing MHW right

I guess I need to spend some time playing with the other weapons. I have a bad habit in games of finding what I like and sticking with it

that'd be a fun problem to have considering the reason i stuck with two weapons or so the whole game was because in order to try new ones you essentially had to start building a new weapon tree from scratch

Instead of noting that you can make more or less of the same recipe by varying the amount of ingredients while keeping the proportions the same, publish a novel-sized cookbook with 500 copies of the same cake recipe, in quantities from "one cupcake" to "large wedding"

Also each recipe page is accompanied with a photo of the resulting food item. If you flip through it you can see it grow!

I looked up the different kinds of monster hunter weapons, does world still have all of them or did they drop a few types? I don't remember seeing anybody talk about tonfas or magnet striker or whatever that one is called. Then there is one that I guess was introduced in a mobile game, an accel axe, so I don't know how that one is supposed to work.

Radiant Dawn Part 2: Well it was cool that I got to spend all that time getting attached to my characters cause now I'm starting over with a whole new crew I guess??

Radiant Dawn is kinda hosed up with recruitment. It constantly shuffles your team around and constantly throws new, busted units at you. It's not unrealistic to say that the optimal team is almost always just the set of units you've recruited most recently, especially in part one

It has them all, except cat if you count that.

Tonfas, the magnet thing, and some other third one are trappedexclusive to the MMO, which is a huge shame.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

watching some of the weird poo poo that people have done to SNES games at GDQ this year I think someone should make a mod where it's Super Mario World's world map, but instead of the levels from Super Mario World each space is a random level from a pool of every SNES platformer ever, from SMW to Cool Spot to Bubsy to Aladdin and everything in between.

how much open space does a ps4 or a ps3 need? My new tv space is set up this way with a cabinet:



the ps3 is above right under the tv and i think it's fine since it's open in front and in the back, but I haven't played it yet

but the ps4 is below it, I can open the glass doors but not the back, I played one hour with everything closed and it was like a oven inside.
would playing with doors open in the front be open enough?

how is it set up at your place? at my old place it was on the ground but here's its carpeted

I am glad that the developer felt confident enough to release the source (you know, after shipping a hugely profitable and popular game helps) knowing that it would probably get dragged hard lol

Every piece of media is held together with twine behind the curtain, that's why there's a curtain

Made a little progress in Witcher3. Level 17 or so, looking for a Barge to get to Skellege. Thoughts:

* combat makes more sense now. It's basically Shield Up, Dodge, attack, dodgeback, shield up as needed. Not too deep.

* took me forever to realize you just need to synthesize the bombs, potions and oils once and they get re-upped after you meditate.

* the writers really like to remind you later on that the 'nice guy' choices you make probably won't work out in the typical rpg happy end thing.
