    How much more powerful than the Portable was the Vita? Could it theoretically run Persona 3/FES, a la the PS2?

    Emulated, no way, but I feel like it absolutely could have been ported--"HD" PS2 games were available on the Vita, let alone Persona 4 Golden, which afaik used a very similar, if not completely similar engine to FES.

    Yeah, I wasn't talking about emulation - I was asking if it could run P3 or P3FES "natively", if it had been released on the device.

    I had actually forgotten P4G used to be a Vita-exclusive game, actually, so it really could've run P3/FES.

    It's like with Super Mario 64 DS - if the devs/higher-ups had waited just one handheld generation later, they could've made something more familiar to the original, rather than needing to downgrade stuff (in SM64DS's case, it's the lack of analog controls; in P3's case it's, well, animated cutscenes and world traversal and stuff).
    AkiraKurusu
    Can't wait for PKNX to be updated with the ability to mod SV (right now, it can only dump files; can't even turn generated JSONs back into .bins).
    AkiraKurusu
    I can live with Elden Ring getting Best RPG and GOTY; at least it's not freaking Horizon, or something else lame, and Xenoblade 3 really isn't the greatest game in the world (it's good, but nothing more).

    How does Terasterlisation (or whatever) work in Scarlet/Violet? Like, what determines a Pokemon's Tera Type? Is it like Hidden Power, in that it's 'random' but set for each individual?

    To be more specific every pokemon has a tera type but it will be one of their default types

    If you catch a glowing pokemon in the wild it will have one other than its default type - you can also catch these in raid battles

    In normal cases, it's their primary type. But raids and glowing Pokemon will usually have a different type. Although I don't really see the appeal to that, as they still need to be able to learn a powerful move of said type, which limits the options a lot.

    From what I can tell, @The Real Jdbye, Tera can also be used defensively - that Annihilape thing (Primeape evolution) can use it to become Water or Fairy to make it harder to KO by checks, especially since it retains its perfect-neutral-coverage Fighting/Ghost STAB.
    ...And yes, I did just watch the latest Freezai video, on Annihilape.

    If there's one videogame thing I hate above most everything else (that's not monetisation), it's nerfs. They rarely ever feel "good", as they by definition mean you once had something great that's now not as great.

    Is that hypothetical sword a Legendary drop with a minuscule drop chance, or an item gotten from defeating a superboss or completing an endgame quest? If it is either of those, then nothing wrong with it.
    Even if it isn't, if the game is primarily a singleplayer game, then its OPness shouldn't matter; the player can just choose not to use it.

    If it's a multiplayer game, then restrict its use to, say, a tier meant for OP stuff, or don't allow it in the wider random-player MP but only in games set up between friends, or something.
    Besides, there's a difference between a random weapon or armour being nerfed, and a supposedly-living being suddenly getting weaker for no given reason.

    It makes no sense for Aegislash or Zacian to suddenly lose some of their strength, just because they travelled (or hatched) overseas, and it makes no sense for moves or Abilities used by these 'living creatures' to be suddenly weaker either.

    I am not ashamed to say, I prefer Sticker Star to the first two Paper Mario games - why? No boring Peach segments, and the original level-up system SUCKED.

    I agree. Sticker Star is by far better than N64 and newer entries, but not as good as Thousand Year Door.

    Also... STICKERS GLARES WITH CONSOLE'S MOVEMENT!

    If the first two games allowed the player to skip the tedious and pointless Peach segments, and they used the same level-up system as Super Mario RPG (each stat increases, and you can select one to increase a bit more), then I'd consider them great games to play.
    As it stands, Super is by far the best, followed by Sticker Star.

    From a little poking it looks like it was named after Queen Victoria and remained as a static name since, rather than being tied to the current monarch in any way.
    That was an interesting question though, made me curious enough to look.

    I mean, I know the state below mine is literally named "Victoria", so that one can't be changed. Didn't know the state above mine was named after her too, though; good to learn.

    Welp, Red Dead Online and RDR2 have now been officially abandoned; not like it was any real surprise, since RockStar couldn't milk it like with GTAO. Still sucks for RDR fans, and that they didn't bother increasing the supposedly-fantastic singleplayer content.

    Just saw a movie ad in the train station; why is Marvel making female-Thor canon? Thor's a guy, always been a guy, and this Thor is interesting; female-Thor is worthless Rule 63 nonsense.

    @AkiraKurusu I admittedly didn’t read much of the Mighty Thor (Thor’s just never been my preferred Avenger so I don’t much care for their solo stuff), but what gave Jane that right was Marvel returning to an old plot device that is the worthiness enchantment on Mjolnir; (1)
    RyRyIV
    RyRyIV
    Jane Foster took up the mantle at a point in the story when Thor was deemed unworthy of his title, and began operating under the name Odinson. Jane was deemed worthy and, per the enchantment, was imbued with the power of Thor. This same plot device has also been used for Beta-Ray Bill, Eric Masterson (later known as Thunderstrike), and Donald Blake before Marvel retconned him to just be an amnesiac Thor. (2)
    RyRyIV

    All of this is to say, someone who isn’t the mythological Thor taking up the hammer and gaining those powers is far from something new, and is something that has a ton of precedence in Marvel comics. Jane’s just the first woman (that we know of) to be deemed worthy. Personally, it doesn’t bother me in the slightest; especially with how loose Marvel comics plays with Norse mythology - and the MCU even more so.

    So, DOOM Eternal has cosmetic DLCs, for the first seven "seasons"; that does resolve the whole 'limited availability' criticism I had about them, but it seems like the DLC is way behind, considering we're up to, what, season 18 or something?
    AkiraKurusu

    A little overpriced as well, in truth.
    Just need to release the rest of the old seasons, remove Denuvo, and remove the Bethesda login, then the game will be near-perfection.

    Apparently the Ouroboros form differs depending on who's in charge, so it's not just one design per pair, and characters can change jobs. There was also a rather obvious pixellated-censor job done when showing the "Heroes", so major spoiler it seems. Oh, and apparently the Shulk amiibo switches the Swordmaster blade to the Monado; wonder what the Aegis amiibos do...

    I do hope XC: DE's "Appearances" make a return, so I can dress my characters however I want - and that XC2's Custom difficulty also returns, since that was amazing for both accessibility and for just general use; it's a shame it was locked behind NG+ for T:TGC, unlike the main game.

    Is it weird that the only Aussie Prime Minister I remember is John Howard? He was PM when I was a wee lil' bairn, yet he's the only name I can recall.

    I don't get the appeal of Prof. Sada, in Pokémon Scarlet; she just looks too wild and feral to be attractive. Just...ew. Juniper was better, even though I don't care for her - which just shows how much I care for goddamn Sada.

    Well, apparently pokemongts.com is gone now; such a shame, since it used to have a great list of AR codes for DS Pokémon games.
    At least archive.org has it backed up.
