I thought the TV adapter would be no good but apparently analog antennas still work.

Right on.  It'd be cool to find it (I think my mom might have it) and still be able to use the tv adapter with it.  Be a while till I go lookin' for it.  Probably wait till after she's gone.

Fortune's Run - Pretty cool game so far.  I actually had to break out a pen and paper to take notes for these fuckin' computer terminals you gotta use.

ooh this just reminded me---back when it was new, I really wanted that TurboExpress!  That one blew my mind at the time... unlike the Gameboy, that was in color AND it was apparently the same exact level of tech in a regular TurboGrafx-16....obviously you can't say the same of Nintendo's systems at the time, as the graphics/sound on NES were naturally superior to the Gameboy.  I heard the battery life on TurboExpress was terrible but I wouldn't have cared...that was insane that a portable at that time could have the same power as a regular 16-bit console.

I had one of those.  I loved the thing and took it with me everywhere.  It was just a freakin' handheld tg-16, same game cards for the console as the handheld.  I also had an attachment for it that made it a tv.  Loved takin' that thing camping with me.  Would that little tv adapter even work now?  Like would it be able to pick up a signal?  I dunno.

Achilles: Legends Untold first launched in Early Access for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store on May 12, 2022.

“The road so far has been full of lessons, challenges, and many moments of joy too, and we’re so excited to finally see the result of our team’s work in an adventure that we hope you remember for a long time,” said Dark Point Games CEO Pawel Waszak in a press release. “There haven’t been many games based on the legend of Troy, so we’re proud of presenting you our take on the feats of Achilles.”

Here is an overview of the game, via Dark Point Games:

 

I played this when it first hit EA.  I thought it was pretty terrible.  I noticed another post about it somewheres else today before I saw yours here so maybe I'll fire it up and see if its improved since last year. 

How da fuck old is Million?  This mofo was buying cd-i and soft core porno games for it in like '93 or some shit?  Million gotta be in his 50's, possibly closing in on 60.  Old ass dude.  geezer 🤣

I was a spoiled brat punk kid.  I had all the systems.  Not neogeo though.  Guess around 14 or 15 I had to start buying my own shit though cept getting things for xmas some times.  I have 1 console now (ps3) and its been the same console I've had for 10 years now or so.  I had another ps3 before this one...so I guess that could just be counted as the same.  I also had a 360 when I had that other ps3.

I played a bit of Cyberpunk today.  I started a new game.  I didnt get into the character creation, I just rolled with the default preset.  I'm not very creative so that shit gets boring to me...or it just takes too long or something.  The character creation seems like its pretty robust in the game though.

I carry this pen with me.  I clip it to my pocket cause I dont like it loose in my pocket.

Yeah you wait till you get home 😂

I dont think he understands the rate of theft and just general petty crime that goes on in walmart and their parking lots.  Or he does and he doesnt care much and would rather just bitch about the police station being in there.  I'd honestly feel much safer in the walmart here if there was a police station in it.  I dont plan to steal or do crime while im in there so they wont bother me.

Not sure if this is too nsfw but it had me crackin' up.  If it is too nsfw I'll delete it if needed.

I got those 3 to be my goons later by letting them eat the dead after we've won the battle.  🤪🤣

I played a bit of nuMortal Krawdad just cause I could.  I dont intend to play it anymore but I liked the bit of story I saw and I actually think its fun to watch people play.

The Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty system requirements are odd. A 7800X3D is the fastest CPU for gaming period and it's a tier below the slower 7900X. Which is more geared towards productivity. Yet it's under the Ultra Header. Also Intel 12th Gen's counter part is Ryzen 5000 series. So the CPU recommendations are off. Then raster recommendations are screwy as well. In Raster a 6900XT is faster than 3080. Yet they have 7900XTX next to it which 50% faster in Raster as it's equivalent. The RT recommendations I can understand. Nvidia is clearly better in RT than AMD....but the rest of it. It just seems bonkers.

I've stopped paying attention to the recommended/minimum specs cause that shit is almost always way outta whack. 

Going buy the specs recommended in that shit no one but like maybe a handful of folk will be able to run that game and it would still run shitty for them.  lol

I never played Bloodborne.  Never got a ps4 or ps5.  I cant compare the two but its just that the game feels like more of the same and I'm just burned out on souls style games.

Aren't SOTN and Super Metroid the games that birthed the Metroidvania genre?

Just that term, "metroidvania".

Played a bit of Lies of P last night.  So far I dont really care much for it.

Gonna try out Horizon Chase 2 and NASCAR Arcade Rush in a bit here.  I still havent found a racing game that I'd rather play than Paradise.

I checked, it's 35.77gb. 

Oh man, thanks for lookin'.  I just realized what happened.  I was lookin' at the wrong number.  I was lookin at my C drives free space...for some reason I thought that was the install size but that's up at the top of the tab.  I freakin' uninstalled it and installed it again to see.  Im a dork.  🤣

Anyone on PC Game Pass that installs or is gonna install Lies of P - can you let me know how much free space was/is required for the install?  I install the game and I'm sure it said I needed 130gb to install the game but the game is only 35gb.  I'm wondering if I saw it wrong.  I installed it but I moved shit to make room and I'm like...I didnt need to move anything. 

I played a bit of MK1.  Its pretty cool so far.  I've just played a bit of the story mode.  Its...surprising to me.  I never really kept up with the games or anything so best I really know about the whole MK stuffs is the first movie and maybe the first two games. 

I'm enjoying BlazBlue Entropy Effect.  I only played the first game and my favorite character was Litchi.  I'm sad she's not in the game.  Its still real fun though.  If you like rogue style beat'em up games you might like this one. 

I played some Gunbrella the last couple days here and there.  Its pretty fun.  Couple things I think need fixing and/or changing but nothing that makes me not want to play.  The combat and platforming is fun. 

I also played an hour or so of the Star Ocean 2 remake the other day.  It was...Star Ocean 2 just beefed up with changes here and there.  Its a timed demo (3 hours) as well as only being able to get so far.  Can only get to the second town.  SO2 is one of my all time favorites so I'll get it when it comes out for sure.

Some turkeys on Discord talked me into getting Titanfall 2.  It's only 3 bucks right now and I guess the online stuffs are working right.  I dunno.  I played the first one and thought it was ok but didn't care enough about it to check out part 2.  I think the first one was all online with no single player...or maybe it had like training with bots.  No real campaign though.  Part 2 has a campaign.  I'll check it out soon here, play a bit of the campaign then play a bit of the multiplayer. 

I walked to school in high school.  If I had any homework to do I would just stop at a joint called Walker's Pizza (the sign is still there but I dunno if its actually in business.) on my way home.  I'd get some fries and do my homework and eat french fries.  Then I'd go look at movies and games cause they rented those there too.

There is a physical version of Cult of the Lamb for Switch, btw--- from what I hear they're pulling the game as of January 2024 due to the nonsense going on with Unity, so if one was thinking about getting that game... now would probably be the time to get the physical version before it permanently disappears.  I'm not inclined to trust what happens to digital-only in the scenario where something is no longer on a digital storefront (*wouldn't you just be out of luck if for instance you get a new Switch some day... then you can't redownload since it's no longer on the store digitally?  At least that's what I would assume happens.... and once again the physical media is the optimal choice.)

I think that's just a threat and nothing more from CotL devs.  Unity is already starting to change their tune.

For digital if you dont want it to go away just back that shit up on some other drive.  Its not rocket surgery.  🤣

About huge file sized games on phone - Cant you download the game on your computer then transfer it to your phone?

Consoles are getting less relevant as time goes on it seems.  I mean like you dont even really need a console anymore...just a phone or a computer...shit some tvs allow you to stream games. 

Read something about how some person on a flight to somewheres shit him/herself and like left a trail of the dooky all the way down the isle.  They had to divert the plane and land that shit asap.  lol  Made me think of Million.  lol

Pretty fun game.

I was thinking and I seem to avoid spoilers pretty good.  I mean, the only time I've had something spoiled for me is when I was reading in this fuckin' place. 

Still going in Immortals of Aveum.  I think its a pretty fun game and its pretty to look at.  I decided to put Starfield up for now cause I'd rather play other stuff.  I'll get to it another day.  I'm still playing BG3 and Sea of Stars as well.  Sea of Stars is a pretty damn good old style rpg.  Going to play some of the 40+ demos I have this weekend cause I need to get rid of them.

Starfield runs fine on my computer and I dont have the latest and greatest hardware.  I built the PC 3 or 4 years ago.  I bet the majority of people complaining are playing on a 10+ year old W7 machines expecting the game to run perfect on max settings. 

With that outta the way - the game isnt really all that great.  I didnt hear about the game till just a couple/few months ago and first thing I thought is that it looked like a space version of the fallout games.  That's exactly what it is.  Its fun.

I'm the type of player that will keep loading a save till I get the outcome I want in BG3.  Ive got 50+ hours in the game and I'm still on act 1.  I keep fucking around with shit and makin' knew characters and its just fun.  I need to focus though and maybe get to the second act soon.  lol

BG3 is a lot of fun.  There is just a lot of shit you can do and its all pretty cool.  People also like the voice acting and such too.

That is a prequel to the game Aeterna Noctis.  Summum Aeterna is a rogue style game while Aeterna Noctis is a metroidvania style game.  I like them both.
