  • Some people so used to very high refresh rates... seem like they're panicking when the framerate drops below 60 fps.

    Jump

  • I've played so much on lower end devices growing up, a stable 20 is fully playable. Even played some games dipping into single digits. 30 is buttery smooth. I can't tell the difference above that.

  • Most Swiss back initiative to cap population at 10 million, poll shows

    Jump

  • Sounds incredibly stupid and they didn't even try to come up with a proper number based on anything, they just went with a nice round number just above their current population number (~9 Million).

  • Been working through Octopath Traveler II.

    I've done all chapter 1 and most chapter 2 stories for all 8 characters. I've come to accept that any attempt to prevent overlevelling for the main story is fruitless as my Ochette just cuts through any boss. Instead I've done some optional high level stuff to get challanging boss fights, which were great.

    Also watched my partner play a ridiculous amount of Tomodachi Life. It seems like a lot of fun, but the pool of random events seems quite small. Also, a few things from the original game were cut, like the option to create custom songs.

  • Started Octopath Traveler 2 this week.

    Didn't play too much, only did the introduction for 4 of the characters. Initially, I really struggled with myself on how to approach this game. Just go with one character for the challange, do everything for 4 characters and then do the other 4 or just everyone at once. In the end, I'll probably juggle all 8, but it's really annoying that I can't remove my starting character (which is why I considered the solo run, you can remove them after their story is done).

    No matter what I do, I'll proabbly end up overleveled for a lot of stuff, which sucks.

    Otherwise the game is great, but I still think the main gimmick - 8 more or less independant characters and stories - just doesn't work all that great on a fundamental level. Maybe I'll think otherwise after finishing it, supposedly it does it better than the first one.

  • I'm no expert, but I think Santa Claus isn't exactly a biblical figure and neither is the Easter Bunny. These are normal holidays around here, but you'd be hard-pressed to find many children who know any of the christian stuff.

    Also, I think Christmas was actually built on top of the prior winter solstice celebrations. It's not like anyone knew the exact date of birth for a random guy from hundreds of years ago.

  • What JRPGs will you be playing in April? What games did you finish in March?

    Jump

  • Played Persona 5 Tactica, which is fine.

    The gameplay is similar to the the Mario and Rabbits games, although mostly focused on getting screen wide All-out Attacks - which target everthing within the triangle your three team members create on the map. Spam these and even on hard most maps are done in 1 or 2 rounds.

    The story is quite wordy and feels like a slog in some early parts, but overall I really like both new characteres and their story. All in all, I much prefer this over P5 Strikers.

    Next up is Octopath 2.

    X is often referred to as a Nazi platform. Why is this so ??

    Jump

  • Did you miss Elon performing a nazi salute at an official event in front of millions of people?

    If your platform is owned by a nazi who actively messes with its algorithm, nazi content gets more popular. Additionally, since that nazi guy bought it, other people have been leaving Twitter in waves - resulting in an increasing percentage of nazis.

  • Suicide rates would likely rise sharply if reincarnation were ever proven.

  • The existence of a queue sparks the follow-up question: What happens if something is born while the queue is empty?

  • Thoughts on Fox McCloud in Super Mario Galaxy?

    Jump

  • Same. Haven't seen anything about the movie yet and this post spoiled it.

    Jump

  • Finished Persona 5 Tactica. Overall, I like the story and new characters, but the gameplay remained too easy. Until the final boss, which took well over an hour, I didn't even bother healing once. Of course, it's the best battle in the game.

    I think it is better than Strikers, which I thought didn't work at all.

    On the final stretch of AI Somnium Files: nirvanA Initiative, likely in the final psynch.

    Almost all beans have been spilled, and the big revelation was explained. I still prefer the first games resolution, but this one is growing on me. It went from "That's total bullshit" to "Wait a minute..." and finally "Shit, it's actually somehow coming together". To fully appreciate it, I think you'd have to play it twice.

    Up next is likely Octopath 2, but maybe I'll go for Nioh 2 or 13 Sentinels instead. Those 3 are my entire backlog atm.

  • If you created a simulation that resulted in the creation of countless intelligent beings would it be unethical to end the simulation?

    Jump

  • I'm vegan. Even if you argue that plants can suffer - it's the least amount of suffering I can cause without starving myself.

    Also "applying ethics" does not mean it's automatically unethical - just that I think about it beforehand instead of categorically thinking "it's okay because I'm something better".

  • If you created a simulation that resulted in the creation of countless intelligent beings would it be unethical to end the simulation?

    Jump

  • That's a dangerous line of reasoning. Depending on who you ask, people won't consider a lot of things "equal or better".

    In no particulary order, a lot of people would not apply ethics to: Animals in general, pets, children, woman or all people of different ethnicitiy, religion or even political views.

    I'd argue that ethics should be applied to all living things. Well, at least all things capable of suffering, but that keeps people arguing again - doctors even used to think that human babies aren't fully capable of that.

    Regarding the original question: The simulation isn't alive. Stopping it won't 'kill' it, assuming it can be resumed. Deleting it, however, argubly is be unethical, yet it does not cause suffering at the very least.

  • Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC

    Jump

  • It's still ongoing. Might as well ask how long the cross gen period between PS4 and PS6 will last at this point.

  • How would it be thought good to continue the same use of animals?

    Jump

  • Going with your number of 16 weeks and the 10 years from the OG post, that's equivalent to 160 weeks of life for a human with an life expectancy of a 100 years. Just about 3 years. Regardless of your death or how you spent these years, few people would call that a 'happy life'.

  • New RPG Maker Entry Announced With HD-2D Style Visual Shift

    Jump

  • RPG Maker MV is 80 bucks and that one is from 2015. DLC included you're looking at ~130 bucks. I'd expect it to be quite a bit more expensive.

  • Nintendo Cuts Switch 2 Output by Over 30% on Weak US Sales

    Jump

  • It definitely works if you haven't played much S1 or care about the performance upgrade. Especially in handheld mode.

    Those two things just don't apply to me. They need some new RPGs on there I can't get on S1 to catch my interest. (Although, FF7 remake is a good start, but I'm not playing those until the series is complete.)

  • Nintendo Cuts Switch 2 Output by Over 30% on Weak US Sales

    Jump

  • Almost a year in and there are like 3 games: Bananza, Pokopia and a Mario Kart game people seem quite divided about. I'll probably get one eventually, but there is just no reason as of yet.

    I don't know about other people, but I think they really dropped the ball by mostly releasing Upgrade Packs. I couldn't care less about them. I mean, they had years to prepare proper games instead.

    Jump

  • Playing on merciless, I completed them all in the minimun amount of days possible. You are forced to leave palaces before their respective boss or at certain breakpoints for the story to continue.

    I often got to these points by the skin of my teeth, but I love resource management in dungeons and think they are best enjoyed this way. But no shame in leaving more often if that's more fun to you.
