this was a pretty interesting to read I think. Angband informed a lot of decisions behind Diablo and a whole bunch of other games

Diablo 1 was already color coding gear as Normal, Magic and Unique in 1996.

I would totally wear the clownsuit but I did get annoyed that my highest power head slot item was a face mask that hid Jack's scars and grimaces and probably would have made the bit where the princess points out the small cut on his jaw make even less sense

I just used the menu option to keep helmets from showing up in cutscenes, there’s some real dapper ones for sure but even some of the less obtrusive ones like the red mage hat can still mess things up depending on the angle of the shot.

Anyway, SoP was great imo but I wish they just let you get minute bonuses by leveling jobs instead of through loot so there’s more of an incentive to get out of your comfort zone like Final Fantasy V/Tactics.

I bought Yes Your Grace on Switch, probably cause it was like $1.70 at some point, then I completely forgot about it.

Holy poo poo I love this game! I think I'll check out this studio's other stuff because this game rules. And I'm touching my Switch again after like 9 months of leaving it powered off at 60% battery.

I heard they stripped back some of the social stuff for FE Engage so I'm more interested in it than before because I got real burned out on the monastery in Three Houses

I don't really like the gimmick with the older FE protagonists but idk if they're actual party members or if you just summon them for attacks or something (it'll be cool to see Micaiah/Ephraim etc but I don't really need to see Marth/Ike/Byleth again)

nothing said past this point can convince me this won't be the biggest gaming fumble of 2023

FWIW a lot of recommended PC specs are total overkill these days, still wouldn't count on S-E doing a great job with the port though.

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
Heh, resolution matters not to me, the CRT gamer!!!

just kidding I'm not that cool

With Returnal the theory was that the game wanted an extremely large chunk of RAM to preload things into so it could pretend it was running on an ultra-fast SSD if your PC didn't have one. I have no idea if that was ever confirmed or if Forspoken is using the same trick

I am just going to get this game for PS5. I don't think my PC can play this at a good frame rate. Keep in mind too I think those requirements are for playing the game in 4K.

I would have liked Forspoken to be good but it’s gearing up to be SE’s biggest pratfall since The Quiet Man

much as I enjoyed FFXV, it’s hard to think of an engine less suited for a high-octane action game
