  • Whats the best voice acting in any video game?

    Jump

  • I can't think of any game at the moment that was particularly notable across the board, but I can think of a few specific performances.

    Kazuhiro Nakaya as Nishiki and later Ichiban in the Yakuza/Like a dragon series. He is fantastic at getting the character's personality across just in general scenes, and the emotional moments genuinely stick with me.

    Rene Zagger as Emet Selch in FFXIV. That game has some fantastic performances but Emet Selch's is honestly one of my favorites. Every one of his lines is delivered perfectly. The arrogance theatrics that later tive way to genuine anger and sadness at what he's gone through. Along with more specifics I won't get into. 100%, A+ Performance.

    Though, actually... Now that I think about it... The Persona 3 Reload dub is probably one of the best English dubs for a Japanese game in a looooong time. And generally they're pretty good these days. But that one nails it.

  • Trump Directive Classifies “Anti-Capitalism” and “Anti-American” Views as Domestic Terrorism

  • Capitalism is evil and this government should be disbanded and everyone running it should be in prison at minimum.

  • Why are people using the "þ" character?

  • I thought Tumblr was the hellsite

    Damn Twitter really DOES steal everything from there...

  • Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game"

    Jump

  • Okay but hasn't AMD been making GPUs long before she was with the company

  • Nah the young people are laughing about this as much as anyone else.

  • In Sonic the Hedgehog 1/2/3, what did you call this powerup?

    Jump

  • Sparkles as well.

  • ARC Raiders Just Became Steam's Most Popular Extraction Shooter and It's Not Even Close

    Jump

  • Honestly nothing makes me feel more disconnected with the general gaming populace than the sheer popularity of extraction shooters. Every single one of them looks and sounds unfun. Also they tend to look incredibly generic.

    But they're popular so what do I know.

  • Running Windows 10 on a spare drive, only for games. How dangerous is it to not get security updates?

    Jump

  • I really have no clue where these people in this thread are getting this from. You're not going to just suddenly get hacked or viruses if you go online with an unsupported OS. If you disable your firewall then yeah but disabling your firewall is stupid.

    You'll be more vulnerable because discovered exploits won't be patched so be careful, but just don't be stupid.

    What is this?!?!? (Serious)

  • Fresno nightcrawler

  • Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

    Jump

  • I recommend giving graffiti kingdom a try. It's a 3d platform er where you draw your own character.

  • Day 438 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

    Jump

  • I've been playing 7 remake a bit and I know a lot of additions were meant to flesh out the world in what's actually a really small chunk of the original game. But I found a lot of the additions, though not all, to feel more like unnecessary padding than good fleshing out.

  • With AI being what it is, how long do you think before digital media is no longer admissible in court?

    Jump

  • AI is a new technology but video, images, and documents have always been able to be forged.

    In the US at least, there's a lot of groundwork that needs to be laid in order for this kind of evidence to actually be admissable. You can't just show any video or photo and say it's real. You need to establish where it came from, how it came into your possession, and how it's relevant.

    Doesn't mean forgeries never make it I to court, but just because you can make a fake video easier than before doesn't mean you can just get it into court easily. Especially since if someone does think it's suspicious, that will be discussed and ruled on long before the trial itself begins. And even if they can't outright prove it's fake, it may not be admissible just due to how suspicious it is.

    Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?

    Jump

  • I buy CDs a lot. I love CDs. I love ripping them.

  • What is your internet White-Whale?

    Jump

  • There was... I think it was an archive of old forum threads from a forum I don't remember what it's called. I stumbled onto it googling for DS action replay codes waaay back on the late 2000s. I remember a thread with a bunch of animal cross wild world codes, including one that supposedly let you walk on water. And codes for sm64 DS. One of which I remember was supposed to set your star count to 255 but using it permanently crashed the game when launching the save file.

    There were also different threads such as a general one on things in games that scared you. There were some obvious things like the piano from sm64 and I thiiiink someone mentioned the redead from ocarina of time.

    It's oddly specific but I would love to go back and read through these again for nostalgia purposes. But I haven't been able to find it.

  • What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur?

    Jump

  • I'm a novice when it comes to the language as a heads up. But my understanding is that generally most of these incredibly vulgar ways of saying "you" came about because they were originally actually respectful ways of referring to someone. But as time passed, people began using them ironically. So a term that was originally respectfully used to refer to someone of higher status is now only used if you're basically cursing someone out.

    Japanese doesn't really have swear words, it's mostly just words that are incredibly disrespectful or otherwise inappropriate for certain context.

    There's also 貴様 (kisama) which is basically so comically rude because, to my understanding, saying it implies everyone is inferior to you by default.

    Edit: it's also worth noting that saying "you" isn't very common in Japanese in general. Usually you'd just refer to someone by their name. So even otherwise tame versions of you can still be inappropriate in the wrong circumstances. Not to the degree of these though.

  • The intense racism on steam is seriously fucked up. And it's ever-present.

    The game does look fun though. It kinda reminds me of that old 2D Mirror's Edge game for old iPhones but a lot better.

  • Asus ROG Xbox Ally Gaming Handhelds Cost Up to $999.99, Preorders Open Now

    Jump

  • Way not worth it for me. Justifiable price for it's performance? Maybe. That doesn't actually matter to me. I bought a steam deck years ago. I bought a switch 2. Power is not my big concern with these systems. I have a proper PC for that. I want a reasonable portable system that can play the kinds of games I'd like to play while waiting somewhere. While laying in bed. While sitting outside because it's a nice day. I don't need insane hardware for that. The games that need that I'd play on my computer.

    At the same time a Microsoft product these days screams garbage anyway. Even if it's not actually made by them. If it's got their branding, there's certain expectations that go along with it. Especially for what's basically just a computer.
