  1. While no means a bad looking game, seems like the benchmark is a bit misleading especially if you are running AMD cards. Main issue is Nvidia's Hairworks and those cow-like creatures. With just High, Standard and Low settings, it is pretty hard to determine what is the deal with those numbers that the benchmark spits out. With some fan-made utilities and Nvidia Ansel, people are figuring it out. A big part of the performance hit is the Hairworks which seems to be only on those cow creatures. They are rendered at ALL times even if you are quite a bit away from the cows. It's no surprise that AMD struggles with Nvidia's GameWorks tech. It becomes an issue when a benchmark is released with nebulous settings. And with a such a performance hit rendered at all times. https://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/3224-ffxv-disingenuous-misleading-benchmark-tool-gameworks-tests Article if you prefer.
  2. Got to wait eight months. We can all learn Monster Hunter together.
  3. Modern politics, anywhere.
  4. I have that song stuck in my head since last week. Send help. And if you haven't noticed, they change VAs every episode. The male and female VA version also have slight variations. Good luck spotting them all.
  5. http://benchmark.finalfantasyxv.com/en/ If ya'll care for a FFXV benchmark.
  6. PC version in eight months. Such a long wait, its almost not fair. It's kind of funny how a lot of long time fans of the series were ambivalent or even outright hostile to MHW before release. It's destroying the charts right now.

    3DS

    Yeah, it's pretty much the 2DS XL. Seriously, I get lost in this brand line. I guess it'll be what Gerbil said, a slow death for the 3DS/2DS line.
  8. Previous purchase has been delayed due to the last copy of the book the seller had was damaged on the spine. It had a 15% discount but I didn't bite. Due to their good customer service (for letting me know instead of dumping a bad copy onto me), I asked for the missing products. They'll be receiving a shipment of all artbooks in a few weeks and I'll be a owner of those three books. Yes, be mines as well. In the mean time though, I preordered the following which should ship next month. From what I gather, this is a collection of Range Murata's work. Like sure he can be lewd but this guy's work is spot on. I have love his stuff for forever. I just could never collect most of his stuff... til now ($$$). Sooner or later I'll be doing artbooks of photographs, classic art and other things. It's all too coffee table book like...
  9. Is it a sin to never have played a Metroid or Castlevania yet love metroidvanias?
  10. Same song but Utsu-P formed a band that made a longer version of the first version and have an actual vocalist. It'll be quite the day when he finds the right female vocalist.

    3DS

    I think the 3DS should be retired but with such a large install base, I can see why they are keeping it. I do think they should do a hardware refresh though to get rid of 3D and for a better screen. I would use my 3DS more if there weren't jaggies. But again, install base. Abandon the 3DS. Having what amounts to two portable consoles is odd.
  12. I know it has been said that American politics now is a lot like sports. Well, tonight there was a "USA USA USA" chant near the end of the SOTU address. Burn it all down.
  13. It's just how it all came together years ago but some of them are kind of self-explanatory. Good movie, ok movie and bad movie. I like to think it as a way to immediately call out shit tastes (e.g., why the hell are you putting this movie in this thread!?). While similar enough, they have enough differences and are each large enough to separate out. You can see similar things going on in other sites. As for webcomics, take a look at it and figure out where it best goes. Chances are Japanese webcomics may follow more of a manga feel while Western webcomics may follow a more comic feel. Personally, I got to figure out a space for manhwa and manhua since I'm slowly getting into them. Chances are it will go into this thread since they may follow a more traditional comic feel. And yes, you can easily find comics and manga that break their cultural mold. Nice bait but yeah, we are slow. Consider this place a hole in the wall bar for a small group of locals to shoot the shits.
  14. Junji Ito's works is horror (existential horror?) but they are in many ways absurd (e.g., lmao wtf is this shit?). For example, Gyo and its sea life with robotic legs powered with farts. How about a person supporting a house with his body? A fault scarp with human shaped holes? And of course you got Uzumaki and its spirals. All of them are pretty out there and I do find myself laughing. Not to say that I don't get creep out. The way Junji Ito draws and pace his frames and pages is great.
  15. Heard that this is another really good metroidvania. Just under bunny girls aesthetics.
  16. SE is probably going to fuck up the sequel or whatever when it comes up or it is milked so hard that it dies. BUT ENOUGH OF THAT. I should get this album in my rotation.
  17. Anyone have experience with online glasses retailers like Zenni?

      I bought online glasses, the experience was fine - the quality/price ratio was inarguable. I bought cheap ones and just looked at the photos and dimensions compared to my current glasses. If I was spending more I'd choose a company that sends out frames to try on first.

      Warby Parker has always been great for me. 

  18. Hey guys, where would we all be if we spent the last four years exercising? We all could've been at our ideal weight and fitness level. Most of us are peaking or going past our peak so now or never! I've personally been trying to incorporate stuff from this: And related videos and app (100% Army Fit) for for some body weight exercise. Basically you can do it anywhere. Same deal with a plank routine. I have no real goal of being swole and size up but I want to be able to looked at and go "Yeah, he exercises". Of course...
  19. Step up. Need to see how the wireless works.
  20. I was watching or more like listening to the stream. I don't tend to remember spoilers if I only hear them. Visually I'll remember it till I am on my death bed. And I never knew you update the OP. That's dedication. Maybe I'll make a new OP images for image board use. These ones are pretty outdated now:
