Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Yeah I bought Days Gone on PC (but that game sucked lol) and I replayed God of War on PC (that game rocks). So yeah, if Ghost and Last of Us etc are all gonna get on PC eventually I can wait.

@Anti-Matter
I mean I could never imagine eating dog, but that is a delicacy in other countries. Different cultures eat different things.

The Last of Us is looking likely to stay exclusive, @Pizzamorg .... Not sure about Ghost of Tsushima, though! Certainly for looking forward, it seems likely more of the games will come to PC later, though, so really it might be better getting a PS4 to play the few older ones?
As for whether there'll be a PS5 slim or whatever next year, your guess is as good as mine but that's quite possible, of course!

Thank you to everyone @ at me.

I feel a lot better, last night I was tired and my anxiety was high (caffeine I love and hate you)
and I will be posting art on the art thread once I find out how to take photos with my chromebook.
But I'll probably start posting some digital stuff first (I'm better with a pencil then a mouse)

Just beat Octo Expansion and just.... wow. Easily the best DLC I've ever played. The creativity on display in how they used Splatoon 2's seemingly rigid mechanics was astounding, the story was extremely interesting (especially through the chat logs), it expanded Pearl and Marina to such an amazing degree and the music throughout was (and is!) some of the best in Nintendo history. Not to mention the final set piece oh my god. Yes, I did die about 6 times before completing it (how did I beat Girl Power, considered the hardest mission in the game, in about the same amount of attempts yet struggled on the literal last level!?), but the ending sequence as a whole was joyful to go through from start to finish. I cannot wait to 100% it now, I skipped like 30 levels to get to this point!

I have a PS4, just not sure I could go back to gaming in 1080p at 30fps. I make do with the Switch, because it is my only option (and the main reason I don't play a lot of third party on it unless it is an indie), but when I know PS5 versions exist of those other titles, playing them in their PS4 form would just make me sad.

OK, that sounds like it might be worth it for you, then, @Pizzamorg .... It just seems likely The Last of Us would have come to PC by now, to me but I'd like to play particularly the 1st myself, so I hope it does come
Depends how many games like that there are, though, if you would still wait for PC versions of the timed exclusives

@Zuljaras Lamb is damn good, but I might have to take you up on that snail.

@Pizzamorg If there are a lot of first party’s you want to play on PlayStation, then yes. A few might get ported to the PC but that’s about it, Xbox is just one in console form, so if you really don’t use it, you can probably trade it for a PS5.

How do you share videos on here. I found the old way and it doesn't work, or maybe I'm doing wrong.

@Snatcher Sony did acquire a PC porting specialist studio (Nixxes) so the plan is clearly to delve deeper into the PC space. To what extent is yet to be seen though the Nvidia list reported on in September suggests much more.

@Kermit1 I just put in the video url (https and all) and it works fine for me. Maybe try that?

@Grumblevolcano I forgot about that, good point.

@Fizza Thank you it worked,
I can finally share to the world I love McCartney II

@Sunsy Oh that's cool to hear. We used that Hewlett Packard PC (it was our second computer) for the longest time, it originally had Windows 98 then we upgraded it to XP. I think we first got it in 1999? We've had it until we got a newer computer that had Windows Vista.

I looked up Links LS 1998 and it doesn't look super familiar to me. Maybe it was PGA Tour Golf 95? The title and grass texture look kind of familiar from the screenshots. Ah well, won't stress about that. Ah that's cool, I used to love playing MTM, though I never got into the drag mode. I'd just do the circuit and rally modes since I was way more used to racing around tracks, lol.

Yeah, I liked using Windows Media Player as well. I actually went ahead and downloaded it on my laptop. Maybe I'm a bit too stubborn or something, but I didn't really like using Microsoft Groove since they drastically changed the layout.

@MarioLover92 I'm still half-tempted to properly try one of the NES Castlevanias, but I'm not in too big a hurry. XD I'm avoiding the older Ninja Gaiden games, but didn't the series receive a sort of reboot a few years ago? I'd be willing to try those if they aren't controller-throwing difficulty. With Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, I became fed up even with restore point use lol.

@BruceCM Ah, so you saw my comment? It was all tongue-in-cheek, I tell you!

@Tyranexx I do know there was Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox, though I've never played it. That one is likely a reboot. I think that also came out on Switch via a collection? Just going off my memory here. I might give Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts a shot, if I'm feeling masochistic enough. I know I'm not gonna make it very far, however. lol

We were talking about Mega Man earlier, there was one classic series MM game I never beat, which was Mega Man & Bass. Seriously, that game makes the other MM games look like a walk in the park. It is that hard. There's even one fortress level that is ridiculously long, with like 4 bosses to fight. The first one takes around a couple years to beat (ok, I'm exaggerating, but it has a huge amount of HP), and the second one is where I called it quits. Guess what happens when you get a game over in that level? Yeah, it's back to square one with you. Thanks, Capcom.

This recent dinosaur fossil find is pretty crazy.

Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, @Tyranexx .... Released last June 21st for everything, lol! Never played them before that to compare but I wouldn't say they're THAT difficult I played them on Steam, though

@MarioLover92 Nice, my mother used that old PC for years, then around 2009 a friend gave her a Windows XP machine similar to my old gaming PC, minus the Radeon graphics card. That dual booted Windows and Linux, Mom would surf the new safely on Linux, and use Windows for the other things she needed to do.

Alrighty, I did notice the Links games showing up, that series is an EA series IIRC. EA does have some GOG games, but missing a lot of the old sports games there. Sounds fun, that's what I did with Super Mario Kart when I was younger, used Time Trial to drive around tracks. I still do that with a lot of racing games. It's just a fun way to relax.

I don't think I ever used Microsoft Groove. For music, it was always iTunes and Windows Media Player for me. Would mostly use it to listen to my CDs and my digital music, and it would sync to my iPod and battery powered MP3 player respectively.

Just read a thread on paper Mario color splash and it might be the most toxic thing I have read. Like legit death threads over not liking TTYD. This is why I avoid the paper Mario fan base.
