If you talk about Papyrus you will need to refer him as Mr. Papyrus, unless the author changes the pronoun.	70	32.41%

Clinical depression is a serious problem but luckily I take medication to reduce its effects thanks for your concern though.

I always get really sad whenever the admins have a midlife crisis and start implementing "wacky" wordfilters and changing thread/forum names and adding ridiculous custom scripts to try and capture that mid-2000s GBS madness.

To be fair, it's a games forum on a comedy website. Seriousness should be left at the door.

Actually wordfilters improved it since it takes less character to type that they called the third Xbox the xbone.

I've been playing Lara Croft GO off and on the last month or so and it's really good! I'm bad at puzzle games and this is no exception, but it's been a great way to kill time on my phone.

I like the DS4 more than the 360 / One controllers but DS4Windows just loves to freak out once in a while

Wish DS4 support would be more native

it is on osx

Mistle posted:

Common complaints for the xbone controllers are that the internal parts are cheap plastic(same as the late[?] 360 controllers) and they wear down and break with frequent use, particularly with regards to stick drift. I can't vouch for the xb controller, but my 360 controller has been a real champ so far. It's starting to get a slight drift, but given that it was from a release 360 elite console, that's a good, long life. Finding the official windows wireless device was a pain in the rear end, as there's no end to cheap chinese knockoffs that may or may not be malware vectors.

The DS4 is known for having the rubber on the sticks peel off and wear away with ease, but the ironic solution is to put xb1 sticks in the DS4.

For what it's worth, 360 controllers are on the cheap, and you can get them new or used for a decent price right now while you spend time looking for a more expensive long-term option.

ds4 rubber thing has been fixed for like 2 years now

Well, also technically it isn't Mirror's Edge 2 seeing as it's supposed to be a prequel or remake or something like that.

Didn't Ubisoft do something similar with the employees of the fake evil game company in AssCreed looking like actual Ubisoft employees?

Is Satellite Reign a good game to play if I like XCOM and Invisible Inc but hate/suck eggs at RTSes? I'm kinda struggling to get a hold of what the game really is.
