Looking at the Steam page, the PC version appears to have issues but its also on sale for less than $2 right now. Switch version still might end up being your best bet, though.

oof, i just got it on steam along w/ the sequel which I guess got a PC release. less than $15 for both so not bad

now to keep my fingers crossed and hope it'll run well enough or start looking for mods to fixes any large crashes
worst case, i'm out $15 and will just buy it on switch in a couple weeks when I have $$ to spend on a game again

The jank is part of the experience to a degree. The game is certainly worth playing or watching a playthrough. There is a reason it has a cult following. It just isnt well made.

Sometimes You just have to wade into it and try things.

i think i might get the switch version, cus i think thats the only console the sequel released to
but yeah i dont mind jank a ton, i think it adds charms to some games, but idk whether it's fully game breaking jank or just "random bugs here and there" type of jank

also, since the topic is twin peaks adjacent. there's a restaurant called twin peaks in the city next to me and i was like "oh cool, i've never seen a tv show themed restaurant before"

but if i were to describe what the restaurant was like when i went there to get food, i'd get banned for hornyposting. it's not even close to being related to the show..

i wanna play it, but apparently it's a janky mess regardless of which version you get.

but i love twin peaks and this is supposed to be a twin peaks-ish game.

what do

aren't some chat bots only trained w/ info up until a certain year, or is that just the older chat models?
like i remember i asked one of the chat-gpt things about a game and it was all like "idk what that is cus i only have information up until 2017" or something like that

either way, i wouldn't trust the google ai at all, that stupid thing that appears at the top of searches gives waaaay wrong information sometimes.

i had no idea who caitlin clark is or that wnba was super popular a week ago, but it seems in recent months she's a super celebrity and that everyone is a wnba expert.
is wnba (or even basket ball in general) really that popular or is this one of those flavor of the month things

grizzlies and rhinos

since reaching my final height (6'2) the most i've weighed is right now, 210, and the lowest i've weighed was 175

wtf lmao. who makes these??

love it.

very rarely i'll add half and half to it. I don't drink those "coffee creamers" like coffee mate cus I find them disgusting and reprehensible. call it coffee oil because that's what it is.

sometimes I add a pinch or two of salt to the beans before it brews, it helps reduce acidity but if I accidentally add a little too much it completely ruins it.

make sure i call my family and talk to them for a bit, but dont ruin their day with the news

except on regular days i dont have bad news to hide from my family, and wait for the end is wait for sleep

that's the worst, esp when you hype yourself up for it beforehand. story of my life lol

I'm mostly just baffled. No clue WTF you are talking about.

basically, my first post contains an image containing a persons brain imagining an apple with a corresponding number underneath it.
it's like a visualization of how well one is able to imagine something in their mind's eye. apparently, some people cannot visualize an apple when they will think of one.

others, on the other hand, are quite able to produce an image of an apple in their head. some of whom, can even imagine the texture, weight, and even the surrounding field or orchid from which the apple was produced, like they can imagine pulling said imaginary apple from an imaginary tree.

it's just like a weird thought experiment about thinking, meaning to which degree are you able to visualize and see things inside your head?
so, maybe for the people who don't see the apple when they think of one, instead they think of the concept of an apple

basically, i guess i have a strong imagination since i can see a lot of the apple, tree, weight, taste, etc when i think of it... and i can't fathom being unbale to visualize the apple. so, i'm wondering, maybe this is some sort of prank?

like, if i were to say "imagine a dolphin wearing a sombrero" instead of "imagine an apple"
do some people really not see a dolphin wearing a sombrero? when for me, he is literally swimming up to the pool bar and cursing at me when i try to imagine him, because in my imagination, the dolphin wearing a sombrero is more of a bucket hat kind of guy and he's mad that i didn't respect his fashion choices.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/41d073aa.jpg

i've seen this posted on like facebook and reddit a few times.
is this real that people can't see an apple in their head?

and why does the test just say like "visualize just one apple" when it's like (for me personally) i can even feel the apple's texture and stuff and even taste it by imagining (ok for taste specifically its more like i'm remembering the last apple i ate)
but the sound and stuff is all there too, or the pull the branch gives when you take the apple from the tree and how it kinda whips back a little bit like "dude, why'd you take my apple? ok, whatever, please enjoy it"

where is it for you? do you see an apple, or do you see nothing?

it's like a simultaneous thing, where i can see what my eyes can see but i can also see whatever i'm thinking about.
same with music, i see that with my eyes open too tho, it's distracting sometimes. idr what the word is for that but my piano teacher was like "omg wtf!!! so cool!!" like it wasn't normal
or even a problem in maths, there are specific shapes and colours for the mathematic equations, numbers, etc.

but apparently, those are not normal. what are your thoughts?

or should i say, what are your...imaginations?
are you like spongebob and patrick, sitting comfortably in the box being entertained by whatever their mind comes up with... or are you squidward, who cannot see all the stuff that the box has to offer?

some other people here are very unchill and seem like uncool people.
so, probably that.
i think some people here can be incredibly rude and spiteful for no reason. if they want to act like that there are websites better suited for them where they can get all the high horses that they'd like.

What you personally feel about 16 has nothing to do with how long you'll wait on Rebirth to hit PC.

yes it does

translator's note - this was a joke! a joke post!!! for fun!!

i think we should all try and make thinly-veiled attempts at sounding like experts on all sorts of things, all while bashing other people for no apparent reason whatsoever other than feeling good about ourselves.

ItsNotA2Mer posted...

FFXVI hasn't even hit PC yet, and that dropped a year ago. It's definitely going to be a while on Rebirth.

but rebirth is more popular :(

ffxvi is super forgettable, when 17 is released, I know for a fact I'm gonna think "wait, there was already a 16??" even tho i already played 16 when i borrowed my brother-in-law's ps5 for a couple weeks

I'd guess PC announcement coming this weekend, with the actual release date being in August/September.

I'm also hoping we get a form of DLC that allows us to play as Vincent or Zack.

my best guess is late november, but i'd be insanely happy if they do august cus I have that month off from my job

kinda hoping for no dlc, cus tbh I think that's what pushed the PC release of remake back even further

Bladesyphon posted...
nope. I've worked on AA level games. now I do it solo as a hobby, for fun. like this topic.

regarding what you claim I said about porting, please re-read thoroughly... I wrote "it was a straightforward process porting from PC to console, the biggest things to worry about were shaders/rendering and physics. I do not know about vice versa"

you can say I'm not grasping things all you want, but all you're doing is grasping at straws by making mountains out of mole hills. especially with your gatekeeper-ish comments like "whatever small indie project you worked on a few years ago"
all you're doing is trying to discredit me with "well, I worked on unreal once", "small indie" etc.
or even when you claimed I said that the "only" worry was the rendering and physics side of things. I said "the biggest worries" had to do with that, because console and PC have entirely different libraries for that stuff. which is true, those are huge hurdles regardless of what you are porting from.
I didn't say "oh, those are the ONLY worries, nope. no need to worry about the code itself"
if I did, kindly point to where I wrote that. I did write that it's fairly straightforward, I didn't write that it's easy. Rebuilding a vehicle's transmission is straightforward, but that's not easy.

why? it has nothing to do with any of this, you're only making a fool out of yourself by trying to sound like a know-it-all.
you're putting words into my mouth and making assumptions. why is that? lol.

this was a "for fun" topic. do you know what "for fun" means? it means, taking guesses, throwing around bullshit answers to bullshit questions. I know sarcasm does not always translate into text... but really? what about my post says "I demand this game be released...RIGHT NOW!"
like, are you able to put two and two together of "this thing ended a week ago, why haven't they talked about it!?!?!?" might have some, even a miniscule, level of sarcasm/hyperbole attached?

would it make you feel better if, from now on, I add a little thing like "by the way, everyone, this is just for fun! I don't want to risk upsetting the self proclaimed experts who like to put words into other peoples mouths!!!"
don't want to call you out specifically, so I will use that more broad phrasing.

Bladesyphon posted...

I'm going to have to add some significant doubt to this one, given that you think that just because the game was built in the UE, it means the game can quickly and easily be ported over to the PC platform, when that's not at all how things work.

first, didn't say it could be ported quickly and easily. where did you get that?
you can doubt that I have experience making games all you want, that's cool, especially when all you are doing is speculation and assumptions anyway.
my asking was because in unreal, PC to console is a fairly straightforward process, the biggest worries have to do with shaders/rendering and physics.
I don't know about vice-versa because I've never dealt with that.

Bladesyphon posted...

SE, as a rule, does not tend to work on ports of games until the game is completely finished, as history as shown time and time again the past.

you literally could have just written this and have been done with it. I didn't know that.

i have $15 in eshop credits, so I can get anything that'll be less than $15 after taxes. mostly looking for indie games or anything that doesn't require a lot of commitment, like a pick up and play for a little while type of thing

some games I have and like:
castle crashers
hyper light drifter
stardew valley
katamari re-roll + the other thing, royal something
enter the gungeon (someone suggested this to me last time I made a topic like this and I really like it, prob my most played switch game)
swords of ditto (pretty neat game, I'd rec this to any zelda fans)

so yeah, basically looking for low intensity games that won't drain the battery super fast.
i kind of wanna wait to have more $$ and get breath of the wild or tears of the kingdom, but i only have switch lite so playing big games is a chore. i did that with persona 4 and it was kinda annoying so i stopped and decided to hook up my ps2 and play it that way instead

why does it matter if someone blocked you?? there's lots of other posters here. ok, maybe not lots.

maybe do what I do, and just assume you're blocked by everyone. that seems to be the case for me anyway, so it's super neat and freeing having the feeling that I'm not really talking to anyone and instead just typing posts and sending them to the void.

maybe you'll see this, maybe you won't. I don't know, cus for all I know I'm blocked by everyone here, but that doesn't matter cus I'll post it anyway.

wind waker is the best 3D zelda
baldurs gate 3 is mid at best

realistic graphics are a complete waste of dev resources and rarely add to the games quality

Bladesyphon posted...

You... Are aware it takes time to develop a video game, yes? SE can't just put the game into a magical machine that goes "brrr" and pop out a PC version of the game.

yes, I make videogames.
they make it in unreal, same with remake, and UE is native for PC already so I'd be super surprised if they weren't at least working on both versions simultaneously

AsucaHayashi posted...

what are you talking about

it was exclusive on ps5 until may 29, 2024, which was about a week ago

and SE still hasn't said anything, other than "ugh, we need to sell more games"

but the one thing they could do to sell more games (besides make a proper Chrono sequel or an HD Remaster of Chrono Trigger available day one on PC), which is release FFVII Rebirth to PC, is the one thing they don't wanna talk about.

I think they're scared.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/9bc84b72.jpg
this is one i made from scratch about a month ago
super tasty
i love pizza

I'm getting antsy and wanna buy a ps5. I almost got one with the tax return, but then I was like "I'm sure it'll be on PC this year"

but we're already around a week past the end of the exclusivity w/ PS5 and still no news..

will it ever come to PC??

i love those frozen french bread pizzas, but it's a lot cheaper to get a loaf of french bread at the deli area and then buy all the cheese/toppings myself.

but usually i'll make it from scratch. dough is super easy, barely an inconvenience, to make, and waiting for it to rise gives me enough time to do other stuff.

idk, 450 seems steep for a TV... but tbh, my TV is a 19" vizio I bought for $75 around 10 years ago. it's only 720p lmao but it works for me, esp cus ps4 games look fine on it.

2007ish for posting
prob 99 or 2000 for viewing guides, I'd walk to my aunt and uncles house to use their computer and print the guide for whatever part of a game I was stuck at. The first time I used their computer to find a guide, I printed the entire guide and they got so pissed at me cus I used all their ink and paper lol

when life gives you power, make powerade

but i'm lazy.
