I won't be able to afford the components to upgrade my computer to run Dark Souls 3 this month. What should I do?

If the Google mic drop thing caused you to get fired, you were probably on pretty thin ice at that point anyways.

Or, more likely, you were looking for a job and accidentally sent something unprofessional to a prospective employer

I hate Google but I still use all of their products. Same with Amazon. And I buy so many video games despite not approving of the industry's labour practices. April Fool's truly is a day of deep introspection

Persona 4 might be my fave anime game, partly because it's not too embarrassing if people walk in on you while you're playing it

You're right, I completely forgot about that. Still feels pretty niche but I guess I just found my playstyle and stuck with it

Where do you guys go to learn about cool new games?

I mean I just heard about Salt and Sanctuary just now and I recognised it from the March thread and thought to myself, "Well where did these goons learn about this hot new Souls-like game" hence why I asked

I played a bit of Portal 2 this morning. It's better than I remember, which is rare

Jay Rust

I like looking at Steam global achievements. Seventy percent of Portal 2 owners played past the short intro sequence, forty percent finished the single-player campaign. Fifteen percent have completed all of the co-op puzzles.

Jay Rust

The logistics involved in making that kind of stuff happen is interesting I guess, but setting a goal like "let's see how few button presses it takes to accomplish this task in a twenty-year-old game" is pretty arbitrary imo, and not something I can relate to as a person who sometimes interacts with the outside world

If you buy MGS3 these days, does it have necessarily have the new camera controls? I own the original, pre-Subsistence disc but I wouldn't mind having the better version too.

Kratos is in one of the Motral Kombat games I'm pretty sure, so he could just go kill those guys for a bit

The MK guys had a bunch of guidelines that limited what they could do with kratos. They had to make two character portraits for him so that he'd be on-model even when facing the other direction in the character select, and had to do custom animations for him in several fatalities because he isn't allowed to look weak or frightened.

That just makes me think of Kratos as a really insecure action star with tons of really weird demands in his game contracts.

"MY CHARACTER WILL NOT EAT SHELLFISH, SHELLFISH IS FOR WEAK MEN"

That is actually hilarious. Kratos truly is me at 13.

I was originally playing a sorcerer but my melee game was so weak that I got stomped, then I went for a cleric and got tired of the Greatsword, and now I'm not even sure what I want. A smarter approach to sorcerer, I suppose. What would people recommend for a dex sorcerer in terms of early-game weapons?

I think people like the Rapier you can buy from the blacksmith in Majula. If you're playing Scholar of the First Sin, you can get it enchanted real soon after beating the Pursuer.

The way game news outlets reacted to everyone hating mass effect 3 was the weirdest poo poo I've ever seen. It was like those dumb articles people have been writing about how people are wrong to dislike the Star Wars prequels, but even snarkier. YOU ARE STUPID TO THINK THIS IS BAD.

I don't remember too many of the specifics, but some fans really did go loving crazy over it, like, some guy wanted to sue BioWare over it. Personally I got bored before reaching the end, so maybe that's why I was and am a little bemused by people demanding a new ending to their silly space fantasy game. But this has been discussed to death already
