Why were people able to understand the difference between Xbox One X/Xbox Series X but not Wii/Wii U (psyop??)

I like the Valkyria Chronicles system where your shot is guaranteed to land within the orange circle + the circle gets smaller as you level up your classes/guns

The PS5 is very ugly but both the PS4s I had got so loud that you could hear them even if you had headphones on (the pro was even louder than the original for some reason???) so hopefully the weird design stops that

Heh I started playing the stranger of paradise demo so now I get those jokes

There's a good brawler in there somewhere if it just ditched literally all the RPG stuff and didn't force me to choose between +1.3% resistance to wind damage and -1.4% magic break recovery time

I don't know why Team Ninja loves the loot thing so much when I've only ever seen complaints about it but in Stranger of Paradise I just hit the optimize equipment thing when I reached a checkpoint and then there's a setting in the options to automatically dismantle all the terrible loot you picked up at the end of the misions (I set it to dismantle anything that's the lowest rarity which is like 100+ pieces of equipment per mission)

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)

It seems unusual to let everyone know your cool treasure hunter protagonist lives in their own filth but I guess she only had a single butler (the house is also haunted if I remember the DLC from the last game??)

It got rare 10 of 10 reviews from the only publications I trust (The Thinking Gamer/No Noobs Allowed/God is a Geek) so consider it preordered

The only time a silent protagonist (that's not just silent because there's nothing to say) has ever been good is when their speech is implied rather than them being literally just mute for some reason, which only works for a very specific kind of game.

Good: "What's that Link? You say you Princess Zelda sent you? Okay then, you can pass."

Bad: "This man was at the crime scene next to the body, he must be guilty! Take him away!" *says nothing and gets thrown in the dungeon with absolutely no protest whatsoever*

You can read Zelda's diary in BotW to find out the secret of quiet Link

Bit by bit, I've gotten Link to open up to me. It turns out he's quite a glutton. He can't resist a delicious meal!

When I finally got around to asking why he's so quiet all the time, I could tell it was difficult for him to say. But he did.

With so much at stake, and so many eyes upon him, he feels it necessary to stay strong and to silently bear any burden.

A feeling I know all too well... For him, it has caused him to stop outwardly expressing his thoughts and feelings.

I always believed him to be simply a gifted person who had never faced a day of hardship. How wrong I was...

Everyone has struggles that go unseen by the world... I was so absorbed with my own problems, I failed to see his.

I wish to talk with him more and to see what lies beneath those calm waters, to hear him speak freely and openly...

And perhaps I, too, will be able to bare my soul to him and share the demons that have plagued me all these years.

here he is eating rocks

Would you have correctly guessed what this button does? For context, it's from the Xbox App.



"Add to Play Later", and yes there's now a tooltip

MS recently has a thing for symbol only buttons that aren't self evident.

re: possibly fail UIs on PS5 they always have "sort by:" at the top right so I try to move the cursor there but the sort button is on the left!!
