Ah, thanks for the info. I played the vanilla game about a month ago and ended up plowing through it in an evening.

Consoles have the same audio bugs too, which is kinda funny because Fallen Order has the same problem.

Also, it's called Golden Idol Mysteries: The Spider of Lanka.

That's mostly accurate. Microsoft are doing monthly security updates for Windows 7 though. The mantra that they don't is self-perpetuating since contradicting it ends in yelling. On the other hand, I'm sure those updates only have the bare minimum needed to squirm through whatever legal obligation enforces them.

technically, yeah, but only for volume licensed customers since 2020 and only for azure-hosted vms since january of this year. for normal people it's a dead os

Realized in Shadow of Doubts the reason why I couldn't find the target after trashing the entire floor (target livings on the 15th floor of certain building) is because the clue given for the mission is...wrong. Or I guess misleading. They actually live on the 14th floor you see, because the game labeled the first floor G, then 1, then 2...and so on.

It only received one patch on 2/17, shortly after release. I didn't really notice much impact on performance but I have a weird set of specs, maybe it was more significant for more standard setups. From what I read it didn't sell well on PC and there haven't been any further developer comments about it, at least not on Steam. Loved the game but I think its current state is as good as it's going to get.

drat, guess my Steam broke itself again and stopped displaying the patches. Might fire it back up again in that case, tagging along with randos in multiplayer was a lot of fun even if the player base seemed small and it took a while to pair up with the matchfinder.

I'm gonna go see if I can figure out the last side-job I accepted where the only instructions I received were "Ask the staff for Garcia". No idea which staff at what business...so...not too hopeful about solving this one.
Edit: After typing all that, though, duh, the specific thing about those instructions is just asking the staff at the place you found the note. You'll get a new dialogue option that you were supposed to "Ask for Garcia" and the person working there should give you something to start the job.

An interesting thing about Shadows of Doubt, especially with side-jobs, when you have real sparse information is that you can always try finding out more information about who listed the job. You might have to get real creative depending on how you get the job details - like if it's a phone call, you might have to go searching call records to track down where a call was made at what time, or if you meet in person you might try tailing them home - but generally once you know how to find the job's commissioner, you can usually drastically narrow your search parameters for the intended target - even if you don't find any specific clues written down at their home or in their v-mail, they're usually after people they know like neighbors or co-workers. It's not a guarantee that the game didn't have an error in case generation, but in a game all about detective work, it's kind of cool to be able to sleuth it out like that, no?

I did get the bug of phasing through an apartment wall while standing up from a bench, though, so game's definitely still got some jank.

Current status: Angry about subs :argh:


Beyond Sunset is a retro-style FPS that goes all in on the retro by also being set in a Neon-80s Cyberpunk setting. Right down to you running around mixing gunplay and slashing dudes with a katana. But it also isn't afraid to mix things up by adding really fluid movement controls to let you slip and slide around the map and RPG elements. While the aesthetics and gameplay are banging, I personally found the movement to be a little too out-of-control to handle, but I also said that about Severed Steel and people liked that, so go nuts.

I don't like them at all but knowing that the big limbless orb or large cute creature or whatever they replace it with is actually an invisible, monstrous, secret spider wearing something else's skin is worse. It's why the fuckin mimics in Prey suck so much.

it was a free upgrade, possibly still is, never makes u activate it anyway, and is easily piratable. the min specs for 7 and 10 are the same. stop using an insecure os because "poor" bcos im p sure that means ur one of the last ppl who wants their poo poo stolen in that case.

Ahhh, the perfect UI change for an old man - barely one.

EDIT wait oh poo poo, they officially added overlay pinning:

quote:

We've also added the ability to pin windows from the overlay, so that they can appear on top of the game while in-game. Opacity level is adjustable, and only the contents of the window will be pinned - excluding the title bar and other extraneous UI. This new functionality is available for Notes, Guides, Discussions, and the web browser (yes, you can watch movies while you play games if you really want to).

Nice.
