    Good stuff, been wanting to replay it and Celceta too, but just can't get into the right mood for Ys... Just used to PSP versions for Ys games and shifting to PC feels weird lol

    I'm playing it on switch. A bit aliased, a bit choppy, but portable. Still I'm not sure if I should've got it on PS4 instead.

    The charm of Ys for me has always been the portability since all the Ys games up until ζ (seven) are fully playable on the PSP, with only exception being Origins. For the more recent ones, PC has the superior versions in my opinion though, not PS4, PC ports are just that well done! Although you sorta need a controller to get the full experience out of it, keyboard with Ys is a match made in hell:P
    Getting old... I'm playing Witcher 3 about 2 meters away from my 55" TV and I still have problems reading the text.

    Wash your eyes with that little plant that sleeps the moment you touch it in any way, the one that where the leaves close from either side for a while.

    Getting old... I'm playing most of the recent Total War games about 2mm away from my 24" monitor and I still have problems reading the text. /s

    If you don't get the joke, TW for whatever reason have RIDICULOUSLY tiny character fonts in some games (like UNDER 4)!
    It is always remarkable, what you recognize some users here immediately. This is really an outstanding feature,where you have been immediately recognized ............. SO: ON ...... :-)))
    My "SMART TV" went dumb to the point of rebooting all the time, so there goes gaming this weekend. Ordered an LG C9, hope it lasts longer.

    It catched a bootloop? I guess some hardware test failed. Have you tried to use a vaccum cleaner and isopropyl alcohol inside?

    Nope, all I tried to do was factory reset and firmware update, but it reboots seconds after entering the maintenance menu. I think it might be fixable, the screen is in good condition, but I don't have time to put into it really, so I am trying to find some friend or neighbor that would be willing to get it for free if they want to fix them for themselves.
    There must be nothing so punishing as dying on Witcher 3 on the Xbox One and being forced to endure a 3 minutes load screen to play again.
    When did we get to the point where games on a console "stop responding" and you need to reboot and go through 30 minutes check ups to play.

    Just Witcher 3 on the old Xbox One. I got it several years ago and now I wanted to play it... but oh well, I guess it is to be expected of an old dusty console, perhaps the HDD is dying.

    Hmmm... FPS and responsiveness are bad, not sure if a problem of my console.
    Hmm... I liked these 2 episodes of Beastars too much. Weird thing. I think it's what I am enjoying the most this season.

    Now I hate Netflix even more, paying for their service yet having to go out of my way to avoid the region locking to watch this series.
    And that's how a Sunday late finds me thinking how can it be I have no coffee cookies around at all... Damn cookie monster. Need cookie!

    Haven't you got 24 shops in Germany?

    Not sure about Germany as a whole, but at least in this city not only there are no 24 shops, also nothing opens on Sundays at all.

    Good lord, that sucks. I have never lived in a city where there were no 24 hour shops. And the only thing that used to be closed on sundays here were liquor stores - but they've even changed that now.
    I hate colds. That time of the year again.

    Somewhat better, thanks.

    But the drastic weather change is unforgiving, two weeks ago you could go around in shorts.

    Es gibt halt keine "Übergangszeit" mehr.....von 22 auf 5 Grad und das soll man dann auch noch "aushalten....
    Dann noch die "virenversprühenden " Kollegen (Krankenstand geht ja heutzutag nicht mehr,da Angst um Arbeitsplatz) und kränkelnden Kinder im Umfeld,die Armen werden in jedem Zustand in die öffentlichen Einrichtungen gepfercht...das passt dann so richtig....
    Wünsch Dir gute Besserung und baldige Genesung. :-)
    I couldn't resist it. I just saw a remaining unsold limited edition of Astral Chain on my local Saturn and 100€ flew away from my pocket.
    Is it me or FF7 remake feels a little like monotonous all samey button mashing?
    ThoD

    You say that as if it's any different from the original, that game was as monotonous as a game can get:P
    sarkwalvein
    sarkwalvein
    In a way you're right: 99% battles on the original where just button mashing over the Attack option. Remake is faithful to the original /s

    Somebody placed in the basement a couple of piled chairs with some cushions and a blue blanket that, according to my imagination, looks like an unknown person.
    I just went into the building basement to get something, I turn on the light and see this "person" and jump scare to hell.
    I laugh at my idiocy, get into the storage room, get inside, and after a couple of minutes after I am ready to go.

    I get out of the storage room and see again this "person" get startled like hell again and I am automatically in a completely defensive position covering my face.
    Really, wtf with those reflexes.
