Just discovered there's a patch for Kamen Rider Battride War Genesis in RPCS3 to unlock the framerate and maaaan it's like a whole new game at 60 FPS.

Anyone who seriously thought that CyberConnect2's 30th anniversary title was going to be anything other than .hack, much less an Asura's Wrath sequel, is simply not a serious person.

Okay, DW Origins Lu Bu might be the new most busted character in Warriors Abyss. Just insanely strong.

I honestly think that if this had released a few years later, and on PC as well as console, it would have been huge.

It's extremely hilarious to me that like a year after Angel ended, Boreanaz was doing bad direct-to-DVD movies (that Crow movie, ugh) and did an interview where he basically begged to be cast in a show, then like six months later he got Bones and has been on TV consistently for the past 20+ years.

I'm not a God of War fan, but after that State of Play I'm convinced that TC Carson is the coolest person alive.

What about a game that never goes on sale but is only $1.99 and has been on my wishlist since the day it came out 12 years ago?

*bunch of posts about Nioh 3 hammering CPUs due to Katana Engine being notoriously CPU heavy* "My 9950X3D doesn't have any problems!" Yeah, buddy. You have a *9950X3D*. If you were having problems the rest of us would have melting computers.

Hey so like I said

(Rob Zombie Thunderkiss '65 voice) NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOOOOOOOOUR YEAH WOW

Will Ospreay's theme is everything Cody Rhodes *thinks* his theme is.

Evergreen.

Wait hold up, Granblue Fantasy Relink expansion in July? $30? Okay, you got me, I'm in.

Maybe it's time to reevaluate your relationship with your hobby if you find yourself posting stuff like this.

~23 hours until my GOTY 2026 drops.

I love Joel but this is *my* MST3K. Wish it was more than four episodes but I'll happily take it.

The worst part of a new Team Ninja "souls-like" releasing is having to endure the loot discourse all over again. As of Nioh 3 we're like six games in at this point, the loot system isn't going anywhere. If that's what's keeping you from playing them, I don't know what to tell you.

*decide to download a mod for Star Trek: Bridge Commander* *find YouTube video of newest version of said mod* "Download the mod on our Discord!" *Discord invite link dead* *check comments* *dev posted a new link* *that link is also dead* STOP. HOSTING. STUFF. ON. DISCORD.

Spent about 9 hours in the Nioh 3 demo. Thoughts: - Combat is still Nioh combat (good), the ninja/samurai style switch thing is...interesting. Not sure yet if I'm fully on board with it. - Open-field maps are fun. Nice change of pace, though I don't know how necessary they are.

Tried out No Rest for the Wicked, went in expecting to love it because I love ARPGs and Souls games and hoo boy I don't think I've ever had a game so thoroughly put me off right from the jump. 86% positive on Steam so it's clearly a me problem but still. Man.

"The obvious El*n M*sk expy Jace Skell in Ghost Recon Breakpoint is voiced by legendary skateboarder Rodney Mullen" is a wild sentence that is also somehow true.

Resetera-ass Resetera post. "shrinks the IP's audience" fuckkkk offffff.

Oh come the fuck on.

Loaded up Just Cause 2 for the hell of it and turns out, I was on the last story mission. So I went ahead and finished it for the second time. Still a great game.

It's extremely funny to look at the price history of DiRT 2.0, which you used to be able to get for as little as $1.99, and see that the moment EA lost the WRC license (May 2025), the deep sales suddenly stopped.

"Are you just going to let the Blockheads walk? After what they did to Pokey? Now stop being a coward and take the fucking shotgun, Gumby. We're gonna make them pay."

Once again playing my emotional support kusoge (positive).

The thing nobody mentions about Ninja Gaiden 4 is that the director and lead combat designer is a former Tamsoft guy who directed all the early Neptunia action spin-offs. Hell of a career move.

I just want everyone to know that if you upload my photo to the Papa John's chatbot I'm coming at you with a baseball bat.

I'm not usually a huge fan of ReShade but boy does it ever come in clutch when a game uses chromatic aberration and has no option to turn it off.

Me when I'm watching Buffy and there's a Planet Harriers cabinet in the background of a shot:

Me and @bear-occultist.bsky.social talk about Diablo the way Mike and Rich from RLM talk about Star Trek.

So Digital Foundry confirmed the MH Wilds "incessant DLC ownership checks tanking performance" thing, huh? Hoo boy. This is such a hilariously bad look for Capcom. Can't wait for them to talk about it in detail on the podcast.

Few years into the Okehazama scenario, playing as the Oda. Going pretty well so far. Biggest headache at the moment is keeping the Takeda off my back. Every 12 months our truce ends, and I have to dangle a shiny trinket in front of Shingen to keep it going for another year while I expand westward.

Yeah man.

Picked up Nobunaga's Ambition: Awakening. Man, I don't know what it is about Koei strategy games. You put me in front of a Total War or a Paradox game and I'm like a toddler staring at a Risk board. But for some reason I just click with Koei's stuff. I won't say I'm *great* at them, but I *get it*.

"I'm not gonna talk about-"

"Fishpockets? What is Fishpockets? Your favorite restaurant has always been Lord Wellington's Beef Trapeze." "Oh, well...that sounds pretty good too."

Been slowly chipping away at this FFXII:TZA playthrough for literally years now but managed to make some progress today:

Back to Warriors Abyss to check out some of the new characters. Figured I'd run Zuo Ci on TL3 instead of TL4 and accidentally ended up putting together the most busted ass build I've ever made. Just absolutely ripping bosses to shreds in seconds. Insane.

Went to the backrooms today.

If you say "Working Designs" into a mirror five times Vic Ireland appears behind you and makes a Monica Lewinsky joke.

The part of me that worries too much about inconsequential things is going "Please stop tagging Doug Jones in this I don't want to have to explain that it's just a joke if he's not terminally online and doesn't know it's just a meme". Like I'm sure he'd get the joke but WHAT IF. 😟

The Guy Who Says "Another Scorcher" In The Sears Home Air Conditioning Commercial will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY.

So with the addition of Warriors All-Stars, I think the only two mainline Warriors games I'm missing on Steam are the PC ports of Spirit of Sanada and SW4-II. There's also a few anime spin-offs I need but those are pretty low-priority.

Basically everyone who's ever been involved with The Misfits save for maybe Doyle and Dave Lombardo has been a shithead of some description.

*sigh* It's got William Nioh in it, I *have* to give it a shot I guess.

It is done.

Managed to miss my mouth with a potato chip twice in a row. 2026 off to a great start so far.
