It clearly takes place after Strive's story mode, where Sol is returned to human, but Sol still has his powers and from what I've played it isn't just gameplay purposes. The arcade mode seems to treat it like Sol just has his powers still.

Hello. Need a game recommendation that respects the following criteria to be able to get my girlfriend to play with me and the kids as a family. It is *very* specific...

1. Contemporary setting.
2. No fantastic / horror / sci fi. At all. Not a whiff.
3. More of an OSR system with stats and dice rolls. But not too crunchy. She liked the system of the One Ring. PbtA moves were too confusing for her. D&D was too crunchy. FATE was too loose.
4. There needs to be a published campaign with a setting. She is not at all in the "collaborative storytelling" mode. And she can't maintain suspension of disbelief if she feels I am making it all up. So there needs to be a book with pictures and maps I can pull with canonical "truth"...
5. Yet, I don't think she needs "linear". In fact, I think she'd be up for showing agency, building whatever for her character, etc.
6. If I need to adapt, it needs to be super marginal. I won't have the patience or time.

I was thinking of CoC going easy on the mythos, but I'm not sure what campaign setting I could use. And it's borderline on the gruesome and fantastic, even with the mythos down.
Bubblegumshoe perhaps. But I don't know if there is a campaign or a setting, and the kids angle is not going to play well.
Any brilliant idea?

I played CS today and for the first time I admired my built city so thoroughly. And that was cool, I turned on cinema mode, followed vehicles and people. I came up with the idea that it would be cool if someone made such a mod for CS1 or even such an option should be in CS2 so that you can control the inhabitants of the city something like in GTA2!! Ordinary missions such as take the kid to school, wife to work and then go to work yourself, then some other activities, etc., or play the role of a fireman, policeman, taxi or bus driver, or even a businessman who has the task of visiting the city on business, entertain and sightseeing, the same tourist, the goals that need to be achieved would be set in advance, then it would be more pleasant to tour your own city !! The controls would be simple, just keys for movement and one for in/out vehicles and buildings. Cheers !!

Hi mates ! I'm about to receive a decent graphics card (not looking for some debate, an RTX 4060 TI will do miracles next to my GTX 1050 TI) and I want to play CP2077 for the second time, 1st was on PS5. I want to max out the run, bring attention to the outfits, esthetics of the female V I'm gonna embody, and spend hours being amazed by the photo mode. I see lots of wonderful and magnificent characters of yours here. Which sets of mods do you suggest I'd try ?

It should be in the style of Spyro/Crash Bandicoot, where the game is a recreation of the original using modern game design and modern aesthetic appeal.
For the look, though. So Rush had a unique thing going for it. It had the player be a 3D model, but everything else was a sprite. Making Sonic and Blaze pop but also letting the world look appealing. This, in turn, makes the bosses stand out due to them being 3D Models too.
To keep that charm but have it work for a modern console, Have the whole thing be 2D hand-drawn animation. I would say like the remake of Wonderboy (Which do check out; the entire game is traditionally animated, and it's beautiful. You can also switch between old NES Image/ Chiptune Music and the new look/Orchestral with a button. ) The benefit is that this is a design style that ages like wine. Look at Wario Land Shake It. That game is 15 years old. It is about three generations behind. The only thing that tells you it's age. It is the fact that being a Wii game, it's standard definition.
The tricky part would be Bosses. A solution would be the Paper Mario route, where the model is 3-D. However, its animations and assets are hand-drawn. This will allow bosses and things like the adventure ocean mode to stay. While not using 3-D models that would stick out jarringly.
Now the fun part. The extras!
Due to the games being recreations minus visual upgrades and noticeable changes needed due to the lack of a duel screen. I'm just going to skip over that. A fun remaster includes extra stuff to incentive beating the game again.
I'm a sucker for the cast, and I think they would be perfect as playable options after a criteria is met. Once a character is unlocked, they can be played in any level that has been beaten. Unless I clarify their gameplay style, assume it would be similar to Sonic/Blaze minus the Boost. All of them should use the boost meter in unique ways. Here's how it would go:

• Group A: The Classics Tails, Amy, Big, and Knuckles.
  • They would be unlocked after Rush.
  • Tails: Plays like Sonic, but his Boost Meter is now a flight meter. You can use the button to propel yourself upwards drastically. He would have a lower top speed, and the trick system would fill his gage slower. Also, he would have a slow descent.
  • Amy: Not quite sure, but incorporate her hammer.
  • Knuckles: He can climb and glide like he usually does for his Boost Meter. Have him be able to rocket in whatever direction he is facing like a torpedo.
  • Big: slowest, but to make him still fun. He can use his Fishing Rod as a tether mechanic to swing across gaps and attack enemies. The boost meter determines how many lines you have to work with.
• Group B: The Dream Era Shadow, Rouge, Omega, and Cream.
• They would be unlocked after Adventure.
  • Shadow: Obvious Sonic clone, but his Boost would be Chaos control instead. Allowing him to pause time for as long as the button is held.
  • Rouge: Knuckles clone, but she has a faster gliding speed/lower climbing speed. Her Boost would be the ability to rocket upwards, similar to Tails.
  • Cream: Tails clone, but slower with a faster glide-like decent. Her Boost would be calling Cheese to create a shield around her, protecting her from all obstacles, including pitfalls. It would require a full boost meter and acts like a consumable. (I'm trying to think of something worth using but not broken)
  • Omega: He can Boost, but his Boost would work the opposite of Sonic and Blaze instead of being a meter that goes down. It goes up with the idea that if you overheat him. You can't boost again until he completely cools down and significantly slows.
• Group C: The Modern Crew. Charmy, Espio, Vector, and Silver.
• Unlocked after beating Colors DS (yes, I count it as a Rush title)
  • Charmy: I'm still determining. I want it so he can fly indefinitely but so he's also not broken.
  • Espio: Ability to walk/run up vertical walls without a slope. The boost trigger would be a grapple. Unlike Big, there is no limit to the length. However, it acts as a consumable. Meaning the player would only have at most 2 for consecutive use.
  • Vector: His Boost trigger will be a mid-air dash in any direction. It can be charged using the meter. The longer it's charged and the more the meter is used, the farther he'll go. It can be charged mid-air. I will also add that he can freely swim in the water and won't lose speed.
  • Silver: Blaze Clone but slower and with a more extended hover. Short Boost gauge, but can be used mid-air without falling.
• Group D: The Hidden Gems
• Secret Characters that would require challenges or outside thinking to unlock: Marine, Jet/Wave/Storm, Metal, Whisper, and Tangle.
  • Marine: I don't know; I really don't care about her. Fans of her would like the chance to use her. She can freely swim without losing speed.
  • Jet/Wave/Storm: Direct clones with only looks being a difference. All unlocked at once. Gameplay would be an infinite snowboarding gimmick. To avoid soft locks, they would be able to dismount. They would be very slow. They are slower than Big off their boards. Boards will increasingly get faster if they do not hit an obstacle. The boost button instead acts as a break.
  • Metal Sonic: Sonic clone but with Omegas boost gauge instead.
  • Whisper: I should clarify that in the Color Levels. Any character can use the wisp stuff. It's not a Sonic-only thing. Whisper, however, can fire her gun in any level to recreate a wisp action. It would require a full gauge, but the player can select any wisp action.
  • Tangle: Her Boost trigger would resemble Vectors but instead act as a slingshot. It can go further and charges faster but can't be charged mid air.

I've been playing all three games for the first time and I'm having a lot of fun.

"Me? Just a bed of no consequence, made for removing obstacles."
Shortly after two siblings were born, it was discovered that they were too smart for their brains to handle, with just them being awake running the risk of causing them to overheat. Put in a coma to prevent this, they made use of the dreamscape they found themselves in, only for the two to lose each other. The brother, known only as Bedman, set out to find his sister. Coming into contact with a person named Ariels, the contemporary embodiment of the Universal Will, and worked with her to create the Absolute World, a mass extinction event which would lead to the rebirth of a whole new humanity, allowing him to bring life back to all those he killed in the process. In doing so, the two created a complex sequence of events, using Bedman's incredible strength and intelligence to ensure their plans were seen through.

"Ha ha ha ha, did I just raise some more questions? Two? Four? More? Exponentially more? Ha ha ha ha, oh, I'm sorry. To be frank, I'm a bit nervous. After all, even if I go all out, I may not be able to break you. That word, 'break'...being unable to break you, you are 'unbreakable'...that strikes me as arrogant. All things have a beginning and an end. But 'unbreakable' suggests an object has flouted those laws; discarded its natural limitations. Culture, civilization, everything humankind has created...even the idea of God. Destroy the laws, destroy the things the laws allow. Doesn't that seem unfair? Like how thinking too hard about something makes it MORE difficult? Instead of giving hope you take it away. We might as well discard 'morals' entirely! Anyway, I detest long conversations."

I'm coming to the conclusion that Riot have no idea what they want the experience of League to be anymore. A while ago Riot released the "durability update", a sweep of balance changes for pretty much every champion in the game with the intent to tone down the amount of damage that had existed in the game at the time. Riot said that they wanted to increase moments of skill expression and make more types of champions viable for play.
Since that update, Riot have done nothing but INCREASE the amount of damage in the game, such to the point now that I would argue there is more damage in the game right this second than what existed prior to the durability patch. Assassins are INSANE currently, thanks to the new Yommu's and assassin items getting buffed overall. it seems like every other game I play there's a Khazix or Rengar that ends up getting insanely fed and one-shotting everyone on the map and it is the most unfun thing to play against.
Bot lane is also insanely overpowered with the new item changes, such to the point that it's basically the only lane that matters in the game. Every single game I play seems to one bot lane snowballing over the other and every other lane is irrelevant. Top lane is virtually non-existent at this point and mid is being dominated champs that excel at clearing waves and then roaming bot.
It feels like there is only 1 way to play the game right now, which is to one-shot the enemy team before they one-shot you, and it is incredibly unfun, about as unfun as a meta has been for as long as I've been playing League. I have no idea why Riot has done this or how they plan to address it, or if they even intent to at all. It feels to me like Riot just makes changes purely for the sake of it rather than because it's actually necessary or improves the game in any way.
Oh btw, remember that new game mode we were supposed to get with the mid-season update? Yeah where tf is that at??

I have been trying to run DirectX/Direct3D games on my OS since a while. I managed some time to make DXVK work but something happend, either me who not configured properly or installed something. and DXVK just stopped working. That was when it was on version 22.04 and happend when I rebooted my PC. Games that doesn't need DirectX/runned without needing DXVK (like The Talos Principle, Teardown, Vampire Survivors) worked extremally well with a Windows simillar experience, but games that required DXVK/DirectX, it simply doesn't open, crash, or straight up have black screen (NEKOPARA Vol.2 for example just had a black screen but it had how I choose options on menu and when I try to play the reading part, it just throws a pop up windows saying "Cannot convert the variable type ((void) to Object)" and when I press "Ok" it just closes). It's pretty weird, because at first I managed to run NEKOPARA Vol.2 and it had the menu art and everything looked fine; it just started when I rebooted again. I downloaded at first DXVK from apt-get and it worked at first, but then when it started to become troublesome I tried to get feralInteractive (now I see that it looks completely unraleted to DXVK problem), and then I went to option of downloading from oficial Git Hub page and used autoremove on DXVK apt package, I updated my Ubuntu 22.04 to Ubuntu 22.10 to manage to get MingW-64 packages at the necessary version. After some build issues and fixes, I managed to install again DXVK but now from oficial repository and dxvk-master is located at my home, and tried to move to /uslib (that last part it's just me getting a bit tired and not thinking anymore, it's pretty dumb to do without knowing consequences but I did gived a shot anyway). Still the problem was still there, and my Lutris doesn't have DXVK option either, which was a thing I was trying too to see if I managed to do there. Here is a sample of NEKOPARA Vol.2 informations adquired through running Steam on terminal:

Just got the game started playing a day ago. If anyone wanna help me beat leader of pack lmk. If not back to resistance mode 🤷🏾‍♂️

Is there a way to lock the pad matrix on an instrument in note mode?
I want my friend to be able to play drums on Push 2 and me I want to be able to select and trigger different tracks and devices on my APC40 MKII at the same time. Now, everytime I select a new track on the APC, my Push 2 controller will display the selected new track...instead of sticking to the drum pad.
Is there any workaround or m4l device locking Push's pad matrix in note mode to one specific track? So that playing and triggering scenes is possible. How does Push 3 behave concerning this?

I was playing a syndicate mission and found it very odd how i failed.
I knocked a guy out and stole his outfit unseen, and ran away to not get noticed as someone noticed the body.
This was apparently enough for them to escort to suspects out.
Its just seems odd and compeltely unfair that they were warned by this.
Only a body was found knocked out, and everyone was altered and suspisous of me even though i was unseen.
I really like this gamemode but does even makes sense how the creators describe it
https://ioi.dk/hitman/blogs/2023/freelancer-difficulty-and-the-persistency-rules-of-freelancer-tools
Its insulting how the want to 'stick to the hardcore rule' when there is literally a hardcore mode they could use for these exact rules

I love this game. It took me a long time to beat it though. The first time I did beat it though I was playing on Hardcore mode because I was feeling frisky when I started the save. I was delighted when I pulled it off. I thought I would be done with the game at that point. I was wrong, because I started a new hardcore run that very night.
I ended up getting even more into that save than the last successful run. My bases were sleeker, more efficient, yet also homier, more lived-in. I finally realized you can build a base in the Bulb Zone if you just go there with the Prawn suit even if you haven't got any of the fancy arms because once again it's taking you fucking forever to find the vehicle upgrade console but I'm not mad really because I am discovering gameplay like whoa as a result. The ability to tank some scary bites while also punching off your attackers is great, and when I learned how to properly jump, like really jump in this bad boy I was discovering amazing new modes of traversal that I barely touched on my last run. I used the prawn suit a lot in my successful run and I was still sleeping on it for the most part.
I built my first alien containment in the Bulb Zone. I was going to surround it in glass to remind the creatures around me that I can put them in a cage if I will it. I got stuck in a tree and rescued by a reaper. I even set up a Reginald farm at my home base so I'd never want for food or fuel again (though between the solar panels and the marble melons I rarely had to resort to that even with my fancy ass water filter). I was on top of this world. I was making Planet 43216-whatever my bitch!
I got cocky.
It was when I was stubbornly trying to get a hatch on my new heat-powered outpost near the big floaty blue balls zone and underestimating just how much damage a warper could do if it got in a particularly good slice. So when very suddenly my health was in the flashing red zone I remembered the cat poster and did not panic. I switched over to my seaglide, made a beeline for the prawn suit, where in a matter of seconds I would be popping my first aid kit and ready to punch that fucker.
He immediately warped me out of the suit and the damage from that killed me.
​
Sense of limitless power indeed.

while everyone is playing aether gazer i finally started to actually get into PGR. i had the game since it launched globally but never really "played" it outside of doing summons and a few missions every other day. but after seeing the famous alpha bury the light video and with the announcement of the pc client i finally decided to jump in
Im enjoying the game alot so far. it almost feels like a normal action game sometimes. PGR is a rare gacha in which i actually have to really focus on average combat. in most other gachas you just put on auto and you win for most of the content but with pgr im damn near fighting for me life with some of the bosses, modes, and some story stages.
all the characters ive used so far are genuinely enjoyable. my main gripe with honkai impact was how alot of the older characters where not fun to play to me at all. and the game would usually force me to use those characters in story. in PGR i find that even A rank constructs are a blast to play and almost feel like s rank ones lol.
PGR also makes me want to get better at the game in a way no other gacha has. like i genuinely want to master the combat and style on bosses and what not. it reminds me on how i feel about devil may cry and bayonetta. i actually want to increase my skilll level in the game.
i also adore the character designs. one that i have to give a shoutout to is Qu. she looks so badass
one gripe i have so far though is that the stamina system is kinda beating my ass. i have no problem grinding for hours but i really cant when i gotta be stingy with my serum usage. im sure that would probably go away later down the line.
im on chapter 8 and the story is meh so far but i heard it gets better at around this point.
​
So ya this may be a honeymoon phase but if i get tired after putting alot of hours in it having fun then i think it would be worth it in the end. also REALLY looking forward to some of the new characters because from looking at gameplay videos, they all seem cracked.

Haven’t played the game in a while but wanted to get back into it. any fun ideas for a season mode? playing power pros 2008

I've ran D2R plenty of times on my SP3 but it seems every time either Microsoft or Blizzard Updates it fails to launch. Sometimes I get the Blizzard splash screen sometimes I don't. It does give the warning popup regarding updating the Intel graphics driver. Currently running what Intel considers the latest version 20.19.15.5171 dated 11/4/2020. I've tried doing a repair of the launcher, running in admin, running in compatibility mode for both win 7 and 8. Currently running Windows 10 as well. Shutting firewall off makes no difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to retire this Surface because it works completely fine for everything else but I'd like to be able to play on the go.

My two cats have been fine with each other for 3 years (since they met). They are both indoor cats. Today one of my cats was sitting at an open window with a screen when an outdoor cat came up to her. She got extremely spooked and went into maximum yeowl mode. My other cat was nearby and thought my spooked cat was yeowling at her and started attacking my spooked cat quite violently (nothing like play fighting, which they have done countless times). The only way to stop the fighting was to physically separate them into different rooms behind closed doors. I am scared to reintroduce them and not sure what to do as they have never acted like this. Please give me advice.
