Hello chat thread, it's been a while. I hope you're all doing well.

I'm still trundling through Dragon Quest XI and it's been wonderful, I think I'm coming towards the end of it now.

That said I got to the reveal that [massive spoilers for your return to Arboria in the second half of the game] Veronica died to save you all and as the cutscenes were going I kept waiting for the game to be like "haha, psych, just kidding" and uh, they weren't. The cutscene with Serena finally letting herself fall apart and grieve in the evening post-funeral after inheriting Veronica's magic was heartbreaking and hit real close to home.

Yeah, that part is surprisingly effective. DQXI is a really great game.

As for whether you're coming up on the end (mild spoilers about postgame content): Dragon Quest XI's postgame has more story, quite a bit of it, to the point that a lot of people consider it functionally a full third act of the main story. SO if you're not feeling done with it after the credits roll the first time, there's more story for you to see.

Most events aren't as hard to get good shots of as that Pidgeot/Magikarp one. Burst mode helps a lot but I still had to do it a number of times to get a series of shots I was happy with since its so cool looking.

but i did figure out you can use the Dpad buttons to turn the camera around faster and man i wish i had known that sooner

Also I'm pretty sure it doesn't count if you fulfill the request before getting it, but that doesn't sound like the case here.

Mildly related, I feel like the professor is super picky about pose too. I've had a few pictures where the Pokemon is in like, the perfect pose, and Mirror just goes "What's this garbage? 200 points!"

Microsoft confirms it's never turned a profit on sale of Xbox consoles

quote:

Xbox vice president Lori Wright was called in as a third-party witness for the trial, where she was asked questions about the console market. In response to a question from Epic lawyer Wes Earnhardt asking "how much margin" Microsoft earns on the sale of Xbox consoles, Wright said: "We don't. We sell the consoles at a loss". Asked if Microsoft has ever earned a profit on the sale of an Xbox console, Wright replied: "no"

I wonder if Sony ever made a profit on a console sales alone? Nintendo has for sure with the Wii and GameCube but the Switch and Wii U were always at a loss.

Brown sauce aka HP sauce is a tangy spicy and rich flavour. It goes very well with bacon or sausage

holy poo poo this never occurred to me! A1 doesn't have tamarind in it, but otherwise it's quite close.

we don't have non-streaky bacon though.

I'm pretty sure the 360 started to turn a profit at the end of its life. But yeah, consoles rarely if ever turn a profit on hardware. I think only Nintendo focuses on trying to make that happen.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Hmmm. I was really enjoying Yooka Laylee and the impossible lair, but the titular dungeon lacking any checkpoints whatsoever makes it quite tedious to play through, even with all the bees unlocked to give you extra tries. It's a very strange decision to make a game that has tons of optional ways to make your gameplay easier but to gate the ending behind a dungeon that is checkpointless, incredibly long, and fairly difficult, and also removes your ability to use any of the tools you've earned to make stages easier. The idea of an unfairly hard dungeon that you can try to clear at any time in the game but gets easier as you progress through the story is a very good one, but the execution is not quite there.

Zelda Breath of the Wild did a similar concept with Ganon much better. If you get every single power up and clear every dungeon, Ganon is not particularly difficult to defeat, but also you've spent the entire game mastering your abilities, and he follows the same rules as everything else in the game. Here it's more like if you were dropped into the Ganon fight and all your hard earned equipment disintegrated and he had an incredibly large health bar and 7 phases, but also you get 20 fairy bottles. That is not what I signed up for.

Nah, that just means they're sure they want to do an expansion at that point but haven't started actually planning it in detail. All the live service games work like that internally, they're like sharks that can't stop swimming

thi4f is like, fine. It's not a great stealth game and it's a bad thief game, but it's alright. If it came out in 2011 it would have been received much better I think, but it basically feels and plays like a prototype for dishonored, even though dishonored came out two years before it.

good god i thought thief 4 came out in like 2009 or something. lol
