I've been waiting for a new Steam Controller ever since my old one broke and the only reason I haven't bought an Index yet was because of all these Deckard leaks over the last couple years. I'm definitely ordering a Steam Frame and Steam Controller once pre-orders are live. The GabeCube is neat and I hope it takes off this time but I personally don't really have a need for it.

Lol I only got that on my first playthrough and I assumed it was a bug caused by the mod I used to remove the 30fps cap and blackbars in cutscenes. For that dodge bug, I'm assuming it's about how you stop for a second or so immediately after a dodge. It's annoying as hell but I assumed that was just how it worked. I guess I'll find out tonight.

lol, just in time for my NG+ runs. I did beat the first playthrough without it, though I never got the unresponsive Hinako bug. My favorite is this one though: because there were all kinds of fan theories about why there were two Shus there, but only sometimes.

Well shit, now i can brag that I finished Silent Hill f on hard before it got nerfed. New patch just came out and : It also adds a new casual difficulty and an option to skip some sections in NG+. Sounds like those might be the more tedious combat sections near the end. But, more importantly... That was a bug?!?!?

Dispatch Season finale dropped today. All in all, this game is fantastic, maybe the best that the Telltale guys have ever made. I know that their previous works were constrained by the budget and technology of the time but this is the first episodic game I can think of that actually looks good enough to pass for a tv show. Hell, it looks better than plenty of actual animated shows. I would love to see this universe expanded as a series. I know that R-rated superheroes have become a bit of a cliche with Invincible and The Boys and too many other examples to list, but Dispatch sets itself apart with its more comedic and optimistic tone. These heroes are perverts and jerks and fuckups but they're trying their best out there. It also helps that they're really funny. I laughed out loud at several moments in this season, but when the drama hits it hits hard. I like these characters and I got emotionally invested in them. That's good writing. Unlike previous games by Totally-Not-Telltale, this one has more actual gameplay with the dispatch shifts. Your job is to sit in front of a computer and pick the right hero to send to the right distress call. It sounds overly simple on paper but every episode throws in new workplace complications to shake up your shifts. You can't just solely depend on number crunching stats for your heroes. You also have to take their powers, their mercurial personalities, and their relationships into account when deciding who to send where. A perfect shift with no mistakes is trickier than you think. The story veers onto pretty different paths depending on your choices too. This isn't just a situation where someone might die and then the story plays out the same except they're absent and occasionally people mention it. Depending on what you choose and how well you do on your shifts you could be seeing two completely different scenes in an episode. You will have to play through the season at least twice to appreciate all the content. That's not a bad problem to have when it's so enjoyable. This game really took me by surprise. I bought it because of positive word of mouth and I can see why people like it so much. This would be a game of the year contender if there weren't already so many strong choices this year. It at least deserves best narrative.

Yeah if I didn't already have a high-end desktop I'd seriously consider getting one of these.

I don't know what happened at Valve to make them suddenly start making so much great hardware but I'm here for it. I did not like the old steam controller or steam machine or even the Index hardware but all of this honestly looks good and I have been absolutely loving my steam deck since I got it. I don't need another VR headset anytime soon but I am liking the look of that controller.

Would like for some of this stuff (mostly the Gabecube and the controller) to be available here, but I doubt that'll be the case lol.

I also just finished Silent Hill f and instead of returning to Ghost of Yotei like I planned I will be diving right back in for the other endings.
