Curse you pretentious Saints Row Reboot for making me acknowledge the pretentious VGAs.
 

Of course I like that epic games constantly distributes various games, but compared to steam, the epic store is just terrible. In the epic games store, you can't go into manuals, discussions, you can't post a screenshot from the game.

The characters and their abilities look great. The open world gameplay looks very similar to the Marvel Avengers game except better. Whether or not that will be true in the final product at release is another story tho considering almost every game released over the last couple of years is no where near as polished as their trailers.
*merges threads*

I already made a thread about this.
 
Also, here's Superman saving a pilot.
 

If there's already a thread about this video game then I'm sorry I didn't find it. I know the 1st trailer I saw for this video game had Superman save a helicopter pilot, but I didn't care for it. This new trailer is way more interesting to me.
 
Also I still prefer King Shark from the 2021 movie, but I'd be with playing as King Shark in this game.

Woe is I, for I couldn't get the buggy GTA: The Trilogy for a future Nintendo Switch today and had to settle for a white Nintendo Switch OLED instead.
/Sarcasm
I feel lucky.
I got my Ayaneo on Monday instead of Wednesday. I got my white Nintendo Switch OLED the day after. The only downside is I think I spent enough money this month. Good thing I have plenty of games I can play.

PS5 is the best experience. I kept telling my friend that, but he got it for PC and it has performance issues. With Respawn's boss being put in charge of Battlefield. I think only good things are coming. They've been patching weekly and won't start the first season or open the store until they've put the game in a better state. 

Congrats on finally getting your product! If you decide to get a wifi router, I recommend the TP-Link AC3000. Solid router and affordable.

Walmart has them for $99 which is cheaper than amazon, and they sometimes go on sale for $79. But $99 is still a good price. Looks like the Ayaneo is wifi 6 and so is this router. Have it connect to the 5g band and it should get pretty similar speeds as if it was directly connected to your modem or wired router.

I got my Ayaneo Retro Power today. I was excited, scared, and confused.
Excited because I got the product I wanted. Scared because I'm sure sometime in the future MS will ruin Windows and I'll have to switch to Linux. Confused because mine didn't come with the docking station like I expected. At least to a comment on IGG the docking stations will be shipped out later this month. I didn't plan on using mine without the docking station. I'm debating whether or not to finally get a Wi-Fi Router or just turn it on to see what it's like without internet.

As long as Halo Infinite was mentioned here is Games with Gold 2021.
 

Today I published a scenario named
Lunar Wars: Princess Lily S. Hut
https://play.aidungeon.io/main/scenarioView?publicId=f7af8ae0-486b-11ec-ae0b-f9c5aad2b73a
I published another last month, but lost the link to it (due to a Halloween achievement) named
Lunar Wars: A Light Moon Sider's Howl

Reception is all over the place on this game. Some say its good, some say its bad. Despite the gripes from LevelCap and Westie they both seem to have a blast playing it on their streams.
The game isn't perfect. Just like every BF launch it has its standard netcode issues. The only bug I ran into so far is when I died once, I got stuck in downstate indefinitely. The bleed out timer was 0, and I couldn't cancel it out. Thankfully the other teams tickets were low, so I stayed put to get my match XP. 
The argument about specialists ruining teamwork isn't true TBH. Team work is still there and can be achieved... just not in the same straight forward way. Yes you can build very selfish builds that bring almost nothing to the team. But everyone can still help out in some way. The buddy revive everyone can do is actually pretty powerful. If everyone would use it more instead of running past your character screaming for help trying to get kills?? Thats the thing... People act like teams weren't just filled with Assault and Engineers in old battlefields. You can now kit for these if you want to do them. People didn't play Support or Medic for various reasons... probably the biggest one was being locked into an LMG/SMG. Now you can rock a med pac and an assault rifle... Or a repair tool and a sniper... The whole reason people cried about the attrition system in BFV is becasue no one was playing support! Now they're crying that you can't be forced to do it... even though you never could be forced to do it in the first place!   You can provide armor plates, ammo, health... and everyone can revive like I said.. you get up with 40% HP and it starts regenerating pretty quickly... and its not some super slow animation like I remember BFV's beta being... its just defib pads. The neat feature about this is you can cry out in two ways. When you want a revive, your character will yell out pleading for help... but if you hold down the cancel button, your character will yell out to stay away, you don't want help. You could just tap the cancel button to let another player know its too dangerous and maybe change your mind when you see the sniper that killed you go down and then ask for a revive.

Sniping is devastatingly powerful... A lot of people are using armor plates because of this... which is a fine balance IMO. When you hit someone with an armor plate, your crosshair will flash blue. Vehicles are also extremely powerful but extremely vulnerable, which is another nice balance. The recoiless rocket is on me at all times, except on my sniper class where I use the ammo pack. I'm not sure how lowering your settings on PC pans out for this, but the smoke screen for tanks is insanely powerful. It's very disorienting if you get caught up in it on foot, and provides a solid path to get away for the tank which can be taken down by 3-4 rockets. Some of the new armaments are impressive, outside the standards top gunner seat.. I was in a tank that shot a spread of arcing explosives. The range was shit and the reload was long, but its basically for anti-personnel trying to C4 you. Air vehicles are also powerful against ground targets... the Hacker class can hack them to where they cant use weapons or countermeasures, making them vulnerable to guided rockets. I might dive into this class later. It seems extremely powerful but not used often. I've been in vehicles that have been hacked, it lasts a good 5-10 seconds. You can stay and let someone lock on to you, or you can bail out and try to come back later.  The AA tank has guided rockets along with its standard cannons now, so it's very deadly... but underused in favor of the standard tanks. (Thank god there is no blimp behemoth anymore, ) I haven't been able to spend enough time to fully assess all of this but it seems balanced in a semi-MW2 fashion to where everything is devastatingly powerful and will cancel each other's OPness out.... not quite as insane as MW2, but its the best analogy I can muster... as oppose to everything being under-powered.. and its brutally and painstakingly difficult to take down or kill anything from both sides.  
Spotting in the traditional sense is gone... and its gone forever. However there are plenty less straight forward ways to spot. The most powerful is the recon drone. I guess this is the least glamours, but the most powerful way. Again I haven't used it, but I assume its not autonomous and you have to control it.... so it benefits the team but not yourself outside of the 50XP you get per spotted kill. This thing kinda reminds me of the most OP attachment in history... the spotter scope in Bad Company 2. I was top gunner in a tank trying to cap a point when all of the sudden I saw 10 red dots pop in my field of view instantly. When someone is using it, its very helpful... but I've only seen this a few times. The sentry turret isn't very powerful in a sense that I've only gotten 3 kills ever off of it... but it spots, and will let you see them through walls briefly. The downsides to this is you have to be close to it, and its loud as fuck when it spots someone, sounding off an alarm. It will also "spot" choppers which is annoying and serves no purpose. I'll basically set one up and hide behind cover and let it spot people so I can pop out and kill them. I've mostly killed people parachuting down or swimming with it. The most controversial is the wall hack. I haven't seen it much, and I believe its only good for CQC. You do get alerted when you are scanned as well. So if you're camping, you're kinda at an advantage depending on your choke points.

Solo capping and defending are gone in conquest. You can no longer solo contest a flag by hiding in the basement of some building while an army of 50 try to find you. Its solely based on numbers, and when you're capping, it will tell you how many are on each side contesting the flag. Whoever has more will start capping, and the speed of the cap is weighted by the discrepancy. So 4-3 is going to make for an extremely slow cap provided no one dies... but 10-3, the cap is going to be the standard classic cap speed.  Breakthrough is like Operations in BF1... I like this mode better than conquest... and with way more vehicles than BF1... it gets crazy from the start.

The class customization is nice. I really like being able to swap scopes and attachments on the fly. I don't have a lot right now, but I do like swapping from Holo to Acog on my DMR. You start out with 4 classic prebuilt classes, and you can change and edit them all without having to rank up. You can also add more loudouts as needed. You control what is the default on your attachment tree as you get unlocks. My only gripe is how they made the controls for it. You hold L1 to bring it up and you naturally want to use the D pad buttons to pick stuff as its a cross like the D pad to begin with... but no, you use Triangle, Square, Circle and X as up down left and right instead... wtf? Not a big deal, but a stupid design choice.. just like when you're editing the tree in the class editor.. instead of pressing where you want to go with the D pad you can only press right to cycle through up, down, left, and right. ugh...

Either way, Battlefield is trying to evolve. Whether people like the changes or not is up for debate. The game had to change after the BFV debacle. So far I'm enjoying it. I leave you with my best unguided rocket kill in my BF career.
 

I'm not trying to promote this bundle, but would anyone want it in "Current Year"?
Leisure Suit Larry Collection Bundle (pay what you want and help charity) (humblebundle.com)
I don't have anything against Leisure Suit Larry, but if I wanted to buy Porn Games it might as well be Real Porn Games like
Carnal Instinct on Steam (steampowered.com)
Hunt and Snare on Steam (steampowered.com)
KoboldKare on Steam (steampowered.com)
Wild Life on Steam (steampowered.com)

I played the hell out of those Leisure Suit Larry games when I was a kid.  I own all of them except the most recent 2 from a different bundle from Fanatical a year ago when they were all bundled together for about $2 I think. I was wondering why this bundle was $10 but its because it has the newer games. I never considered Larry games to be porn games, more like "perverted adult humor" because any sexual stuff aside from nudity would be censored in shadows or was not something anyone would want to actually watch because Larry never had an actual good sexual encounter until the end of each game.  I didn't know they made new games until earlier this year when I saw a playthrough of Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry. I was surprised as all hell to see there was a new Larry game and decided to watch it... and that unicorn scene, wtf. x_x I'll pass on this bundle mostly because I own most of them and I'm not interested in playing the sequel "Wet Dreams Dry Twice". I loved point and click adventures way back in the day, but the new Larry games seem like they'd be a bit too slow to play (It was alot of trying to combine inventory items to figure out what needs to be done in a given situation to trigger the next course of events.) when I can watch a playthrough instead.
Also, all the old games did not age that well at all.  All those old school VGA graphics are so outdated now.

I watched this and it was awesome. The story, acting, and action were all good. It proves you can make a movie like this without being "woke". I recommend it.

Assuming I already own Bloodborne on PS Plus, I'd gladly play this demake.
 
 

Nothing I'd be thankful for...

Aside from the ballistic shield specialist, all of these look more useful than what we had in the beta.  Being able to see through walls will be extremely useful in CQC areas of maps. It might be OP tbh. The smart explosives seem to be OP on vehicles. I hope countermeasures work on those and unguided rockets are the only true 1 shot for choppers and jets.

i know haha..i dont feel the connection like i did with toonami’s sailor moon. but i manage to finish season 1 and i liked how they added queen barrell’s background story. i started season 2 but when rini pulled a pistol on sailor moon LOL im done. i think this is suppose to be close to manga or something but the flow of story is just too fast. little awkward even..hell, darian comes off as some kind of creep, even luna yelled at him to LEAVE SAILOR MOON ALONE because when she was unconscious, he tried to make out with her 😂 

I tried watching that new sailor moon on Netflix and I just couldn't get into it. The animation was decent but after 3 episodes I felt bored.

I still prefer Stilwater from Saints Row 1 & 2.

welp, i finally got to it and it works on my 43” samsung with apple tv. but my 55” samsung connecting to pc doesnt. yt says id need hdmi splitter and thats like $30+ something dollars so meh ill pass. i mean if i play directly from tv itll display 4k..i just dont like to connect my tvs with internet access. 
and i didnt know TCL made phones. their tv is great from what i can tell. i just got done setting it up..its called TCL A30 ($109) and it has like a 0 review frim amazon or anywhere else lol..but i took a risk and ordered it bc another one thats $89 more has great reviews called TCL 20se. what happened was i accidentally left my iphone 7 in a truck for about half an hour and it started showing temperature warning/error..since then its been acting weird. i reset it a couple times and didnt help. but updating it manage to fix a major glitch when making/during phone calls. but it froze when i was using apple map to get to DMV to renew my CDL license so its not reliable anymore. i do have a new iphone i bought last year but its $400 and i dont want to damage it or lose it. so far cheap TCL phone works. no problems yet. if it does well, ill might get that better version either TCL 20se or 20s, between $189~$250 range.
 

I had a good time with the BF 2042 beta and it definitely feels like BF4 again. My biggest issues are with spotting. Spotting still seemed non existent to me. I could spot someone or a vehicle and that spot lasted a whole .05 of a second. The only time spotting felt good was with the recon drone. I was able to get alot of spotting done and it felt like I was a huge help to my team when I was doing it, but I received absolutely no points for spotting, no kill assists, no anything. Even though I was helping the team there was no incentive at all for me to continue doing so. Also, one of the attack helicopter seats was for spotting and that was it. That helicopter moves so fast to try to avoid being shot down that spotting seat was completely pointless. Not only was it incapable of spotting anyone or anything, the camera almost induces motion sickness. That seat was pointless and all it did was give me a few points towards the helicopter by leaching off the pilot doing all the game play. They need to add bombs or something to that helicopter seat to make it at least somewhat functional. The gun play was good, but I had an easier time sniping people with an engineer kit crouched with a tripod than I did with a sniper rifle. I liked the gadgets, especially the heat seeker missiles to shoot down air vehicles. The PC version felt better than the PS4 version, mostly because the PS4 beta seemed much less populated on the large maps with only 64 players. The 128 players on PC was a huge difference. I felt like I was running into people and enemies constantly which was nice. Overall it was a good beta, but I personally didn't get that joy I used to have with BF4. I'm thinking its just my own personal preferences that have changed over the years. I definitely prefer single player campaign games nowadays over multiplayers.
Edit:
Heres my one good highlight from my PC gameplay. My weapons and gadgets are all over the place because I was using the mouse scroll wheel to swap around.
