Nier Automata is on GMG for about $49. I got it on Steam and I probably will just eat the full price for the possibility of refunding it if the port is bad. I seem to recall you can't refund keys from elsewhere. Like sure I can refund it once confirmed to be good then buy it on GMG but I'm unsure if I will be flagged for refund abuse.

I have not heard of such a thing until your post. I'm intrigued since I hate the sticky screen protectors. I might give it a shot on my old Note 4 (I use it as a tablet in bed or around the house or anywhere that has WiFi) to see how well it works.

My computer is has finally entered the Bluetooth Age. To be honest, I'm surprised my mobo or any ones I've seen doesn't seem to have Bluetooth built in. I can understand WiFi not being included but basic enough to be sub $10 and fit on a small nub of a dongle. Anyhow... My brothers have a PS4 so the adapter allows me to give a DS4 a shot with it's full functionality. The touch pad is apparently pretty nice to have. I'm still debating about a Steam controller though. The regular Bluetooth dongle is speakers and such. Foobar didn't like it for ten minutes until Spotify had an audio connection to my speakers.

So this is geoscience hell.

Game time: +45 Days (on Monday) Trump casts Redirection: Obama Wiretapped Me This spell redirects attention from his potential personal connections to the Kremlin to the left field allegation of Obama ordering an illegal wiretap of Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign. All mental willpower will now go to this claim and the original Trump-Russia investigations are now slowed or stalled. --- I swear, some intern should just give Trump a blowjob in the Oval Office and get this over with.

Since I can't play Horizon or BotW, this will have to do. I won't have giant robot dinosaurs or excellent exploration but at least I will get something like this: And maybe a good port. That remains to be seen and I will return it if it isn't.

Competition is good. An upcoming LG headset and controller that competes with the Vive. It's specs are all up in the air but the way you can move it out of the way is a big plus. It's also comfortable like the PSVR and great for people with glasses. Probably something to look out for at the end of the year or next year's CES.

For better or worse, the dock and even the joycons can be revised Nintendo and replaced by early adopters. For a modest sum of course. What cannot be easily revised and replaced is the stand and the USB-C port location. The stand is pretty flimsy and the location of the USB-C port doesn't allow for to be plugged in while on the stand. There needs to be another port on the sides, top or for an unconventional location, the back so the wire is not in your way. Either of these two fixes requires a new Switch. Not a deal breaker for me but it would be nice. What can be a deal breaker is the dock and joycon problems. I'll be waiting for what Nintendo has to say about the dock and to see if the patch fixes the joycon connectivity issues. If wireless controller is so important then that aspect should be flawless. And Jack's post. Eh... come on Nintendo. You guys have successful models you can emulate. Oh wait, Nintendo hates emulation.

It's best to just for sanity's sake. Everybody is such dicks to each other. From Gods to your playable character. Honestly the only reason why I am looking is to see how legendary of a dick Caim is.

You know this isn't just a BotW thread... I started to play Zelda 1 because I too can enjoy Zelda damn it! Not having diagonal movement is a pain but yes, you are dropped into the world and get told to explore. I may or may not have died too many times to get my bearing (and getting stuck moving in such an old school manner) and making a map. And the game doesn't play around with upgraded enemies right off the bat.

I tried to bridge the gap between Drakengard and Nier. Conclusion: I don't think Kojima has anything on Taro. Though, Taro do use multiple endings and parallel world bullshit to pretty much give himself a lot of freedom in what he can do. It also makes it very convoluted. And yeah, drama CDs, printed material and even a stage play. The above video goes through the line to Automata. edit: Oh yeah, if you look at some of the stuff in detail like in the wiki, it can get really bizarre. Like, why do Intoners have such high sex drives? You can argue about in-universe explanations (consider whom Intoners represent) but you can easily pin it on fan service and Yoko Taro. It launches thousands of ships filled with fan art which you can compile in a zip or website that can be sent to Yoko Taro himself to share with others. He's a mad man, I tell you! But yes, in universe stuff... weird. The Gods are incompetent as fuck in destroying humanity.

There we go. Skip to 1:46 for the 1080Ti bit. Sure, they're working towards the future but we just got the Pro not too long ago and Scorpio is just around the corner. A Pro-er Pro is at least three years out. I also doubt SE is too keen on dicking around on a project for a decade again. Edit: Also can you imagine being the devs working on this? They're totally dick around in a version of the game that nobody else has access to. May be unstable or whatever but hey. It kind of a neat perk...

If you have the game, the hardware and are itching to play BotW again in a few years, just NSF-Nintendo

Might as well show the aftermath. https://imgur.com/gallery/mpUge(Before, the beginning and aftermath of the problem till Feb 28th) https://imgur.com/gallery/6IyCi(March 1st Update) I would embed but they're mp4.

That sounds convoluted-ly amazing. This summary is good enough and I think I am ready.

You know, I never played Zelda 1. Even though I had a NES, I was born too late for that to be one of my formative games. That title goes to LttP (along with FF IV, Street Fighter II and Super Ghoul n Ghosts*) which was kind of free-form but guided. All I know is that you can bomb random looking cliffs or burn bushes to reveal caves and that you should probably go back into the cave you came out from at the start to get a sword or something like that. *I remember the day my dad brought that home. Unknowingly very cruel on my dad's part since the game has vexed me ever since. I think I only seen the last level in person once. Never seen it beat personally. Edit: Also it is unfortunate that BotW suffers from frame rate issues but hey, Nintendo rolled their die on the hardware and what they want to do with it. And it's not a deal breaker.

Zelda is probably a series (most Nintendo series in fact) that I would really look for opinions after the honeymoon period is over. Not to say the reviews are false but they may be tinged by even a small secret love for Nintendo. It's something beyond wanting all games we try to be good.

With the showcasing of the 1080 Ti, SE showed off FFXV running on it. https://rampaga.ru/8225/pervyj-vzglyad-na-tehnicheskie-eksperimenty-s-final-fantasy-xv-zapushennoj-na-gtx-1080 They're even showing off a video at GDC. Maybe it's time to say something or do we have to wait for E3?

Wired 360 controller for lyfe.

I took a peak at a stream and it looked great. I got spoiled on the above though. Also, something odd and (potentially) spoiler-ish:

You got to marvel at how trounced the Xbone is this generation. I'm turning up blanks on exclusives that matter. On the other hand Microsoft did release some games on PC via their Windows Store. Like I am pretty interested in Gears 4. Though we got to wait for Scorpio to see what Microsoft has up their sleeves. That should be this year and it could change things up. Slowly.

Nuke everything.
