Excellent work. o7
This is the sort of academic rigour that turns hypotheses into indisputable facts.

The only time when a Community Message contains information is when *you* have been punished. And it will tell you exactly what you were hit for, where you were hit, when you were hit, and why you were hit.
But no feedback for "the thing you reported got hit; this is a valid report"?
Lame.

If anyone wants my old mobo, CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X) and *functional* (when I last checked) GeForce RTX 4060 or RTX 3070, hmu.
(When I last checked, these components worked - the 4060, as recently as last week. The problem in the previous post is, in fact, screen failure)

Narrator: He was not, in fact, ready to start a house fire.
Little did he know, his condition would not stay so optimistic for long.

Same. *condolent pat 👋*
Royal Mail fucked up and delivered my prerelease box three weeks slow.
Even when it finally released, it had to be late one last fucking time.
I kept it as proof that the universe has a sense of humour.

When this RMA is processed, I'm just going to have the local brick-and-mortar put it together for a fee.
I've spent £2000 on this bundle, and to have it arrive broken has actually killed me inside.

I am never so stressed as when I am putting a computer together.
I can't fathom why anyone would do it as a hobby, or even as a job.

Still waiting for my user folder to finish backing up. But I've officially hit the point where my computer is definitively Ship of Theseus'd.
The only component of it that is more than ten years old is the pre-amp for my Turtle Beach Earforce One headset, which I got back in 2010.

My PC has been acting odd over the past week or so. Weird hitches, auroras over my screen, blank green patches. I'm sure it's not my screen.
I can't upgrade-and-replace the GFX card (as I would normally). My habit of just doing that has run me out of headroom.
So I did this and my wallet cried.

Ch.4 secret boss is incredible. I really had fun with it, and it's going into my collection of save files for when I want to go back and experience just that fight again.
Ch.3 boss is "pain". Ch.4 boss is "glory".

And separate from my other posts, thanks. It's all been delightful so far. Music in particular has been transcendental. The writing, stellar. The designs? Uh. The Ch.3 antagonist (not That Boss) unnerves me. The way they're rendered is at odds with the surroundings, and I hate 'em. Thanks (/gen)!

Also, for the homies who walk in the footprints I leave, a means to change one's gear after a try would be cool. I went in with one Revive Dust and four CD Bagels.
I'm lucky to have the Gamer Sense™ to see a SAVE Point in an open field and know I'm due for an asskicking, but that's not for everyone.

I beat That Boss on Chapter 3.
And then I went to The Cutting Room Floor, and saw that That Boss was planned to be even ruder.
It's okay. I respect the gumption to put in a boss that is supposed to be on a whole 'nother level, but I tremble at what might have been. Maybe save that for the Dojo.

It is amazing how unoptimised S&box is (which, y'know, it's in beta). It was running in 1080p by default, and I swear the temperature of my room has increased by, like, 8°C.
Are you telling me that a ray traced this finger man?

Why do the weird sausage-link homunculi have such high-fidelity eyeballs?
But hey. Someone made Skate 3's 'Hall of Meat' gamemode. And that's pretty fuckin' baller.
Wait...
C) Skate 3 exists. I should try and get it running on Xenia.
Oh no.
My hyperfixations...

It's all good. If you gotta broaden a tiny bit to keep the gimmick, that's still cool.

We already had the arc of schoolyard insults including the word 'default' to mean "from a poor household". Because some kids weren't wealthy enough to buy V-Bucks for Fortnite skins (and had to use default ones).
Not too hard to see "I bet you use gen AI" becoming slang for being a mouthbreather.

Weird stuff. My brain contextualised the zapping sensation as, like, a Boisvert jumpscare. Like, a loud noise and the thing I was looking at suddenly distorting.
I've never watched Boisvert and I don't intend to, so I don't know how that happened.
The sensation was more startling than the event.

There was a night of serotonin discontinuation syndrome. It was interesting to wake up with the sensation that I touched an electric fence.
Fortunately, that seems to have passed, but the nausea still needs work.

"Sound and fury, signifying nothing," etc etc.
I hope the Lego you've clearly stepped on works its way out, and you end up being less of a cunt to others.

Nope. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder; really bitter about a post about video games. Making the place seem unfriendly while complaining that it's so unfriendly now.

You're yapping in a public space. If you want people to "mind their own business", maybe don't make it the public's business, you goof.

Have you considered not being part of the problem you've pointed out?

I had the choice between 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2' and...'The Simpsons Wrestling'. I could pick one.
Skateboarding wasn't that big in the United Kingdom, but I did enjoy pseudo-mature cartoons.
Don't play The Simpsons Wrestling. You deserve better for yourself.

There is something uniquely threatening about being carjacked by Big The Cat.

Bleugh.
Also, it's 3:10am and it's keeping me awake.
Bleeeuuugh.

I remember reading about it and thinking how interesting it would be to play (even if it was completely sincere in-universe), and whether it would be a Kusogē or a banger.
The conceptual transposition of a virtuous Christian game becoming something as crass as Slayers X is REALLY funny, though.

Imagine being such a wiener-baby that you have to self-censor the word "shit".
Say "shit", you bitch. Do a cuss. None of this milquetoast "$hit" nonsense. This isn't the Neopets forum, sgt_pussy.

I'm guessing smoking a joint once can also permanently make someone blind to the concept of irony.

Never mind. Dreamcast boxes have two compartments. The proper disc was in the back half. So I actually have a *bonus* game.
Neat.

('Inebriated' is the best frame-of-mind in which to experience Warframe, because it is a special, hyper-specific kind of insufferable. And I speak as a Legendary 5.)

There are less awful ways to spend one's evening than being full of Jack and Domino's and being mesmerised by Warframe at 4AM. Because I sure as hell am not spending it in Final Fantasy XIV.
