    It still feels bad knowing just switching to that radio channel is going to instantly make the CPU 10+ degrees warmer

    If you mean the game itself, I'm just playing the latest version on Steam.

    I'm just going to assume there could have been a way to do this in a way that doesn't melt your processor but that Rockstar couldn't be bothered to implement it

    Yeah but the way GTA's custom radio stations incorporate your music into the game world makes makes them fun and immersive in a way that playing mp3s in the background just isn't

    I actually tried to do that, both with this ffmpeg command

    
    for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %a in ('dir /B *.mp3') do ffmpeg -i "%a.mp3" -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 48000  "%a.wav"
    

    and exporting my audio files from audacity with these options

    I still got these results

    It's not just playing back mp3 files. For example, if you leave your car radio on and leave your car, the game applies all kinds of environmental and spatial effects to the audio to make it sound like the music's blasting out of your car's speakers

    I still can't believe it taxes your CPU this much what-the-hell

  • Those maximum temps were reached when I just sat in my car with the radio tuned to Self Radio ![sicko-wistful](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/397348a3-d5bd-4b5b-94d6-2048118e5238.png "emoji sicko-wistful") Thanks a lot, Rockstar

    I was recommended a Japanese channel that did this with FF6 and it was just awful

    You had airbrushed ai waifu Terra and Celes with doll-like faces just kind of lounging around boobily making porn faces and the Magitek soldiers were just American troops in desert camo

  • Death Stranding came out in 2019. Death Stranding 2 will come out in 2025. That's six years for two games. If these were the PS2 days Kojima would have cranked out 3 Death Stranding games by now and we'd be getting Death Stranding 3: Subsistence along with a teaser for Death Stranding 4 next year. Remember when video game trilogies used be to a huge thing in the sixth and seventh generations? You'd typically get 3 games in about 5-7 years See: Halo, Gears of War, Resistance, Killzone, etc

    I love when it's dark and snowy around Christmas (though that's not guaranteed to happen anymore), but the dark on its own just kind of sucks, even without the cold

    You don't really want to even go outside

    It's an interesting divergence compared to the sorts of enemies you fight in most Western RPGs. Imagine running into any of these guys or the evil house from FF7 in an Elder Scrolls

    Probably overthinking a goofy anime game franchise but I find it *interesting* that they'd choose to combine Germany and Russia into one aggressor nation for their WWII facsimile ![soviet-hmm](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/64a97867-ec59-45c7-b8e3-393e22befd28.png "emoji soviet-hmm") I can't really call it liberal anti-communist brainworms though since the East Europan Imperial Alliance is more reminiscent of Imperial Germany than anything and I think the devs were consciously avoiding depicting anything even close to fascism or communism because Sega didn't want their wholesome anime WWII game to be political ::: spoiler spoiler That didn't stop them from writing in a distrusted and hated minority that was sort of a stand-in for Jews though ::: I was looking for PSP games to check out and remembered Valkyria Chronicles went PSP exclusive after the first game. I played the first Valkyria Chronicles when it was released on PC a while back and while I enjoyed the turn-based tactical gameplay I sort of hated the game's aesthetics. I'm sorry, but I can't take your story about the horrors of war seriously when it's depicted in bright pastel colours and when everyone involved looks like a Pokemon trainer. Plucky child soldiers is also one of my most hated anime tropes

    With Lollipop Chainsaw: RePop just having been released and Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered getting released soon, I remembered there was a third Suda51 console action game from the same time period: Killer is Dead. I bought the PC version like a decade ago and never got around to playing it. I think it's supposed to be more of a Platinum Games character action game as opposed to Shadows of the Damned which was just wacky Resident Evil 4 and Lollipop Chainsaw which was an arcadey beat-em-up/hack-n-slash game Looking at the screenshots on Steam I can already tell it hasn't aged too well visually, having a really blotchy and ugly cel-shaded Unreal Engine 3 thing going on where all the characters look like they've been dipped in oil. Speaking of things that haven't aged too well, the most talked about feature of the game at the time of its release were its Gigolo Missions where you have to seduce the game's various waifus by ogling them while avoiding getting slapped I used to love the outrageous and over the top Japanese games that were coming out in the 2010s like Deadly Premonition, Asura's Wrath, Shadows of the Damned or most Platinum Games titles so I guess I'll see how this one goes down. Did anyone else play this? I think the consensus was that it was pretty janky and mid

    I've been seeing a bunch of videos in my feed about how **IGN is REFUSING to review the Lollipop Chainsaw remaster** because **they HATE Juliet Starling for being too SEXY** I got curious and tried to see if IGN had actually officially come out and declared they would not review Lollipop Chainsaw Repop because they had no problem reviewing the original in 2012. Nope, they had in fact been covering the remaster ever since it had been announced, though there is no review as of now at least. All the other results in my Google search were predictably outrage slop videos and links to posts on the Asmongold ![visible-disgust](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/d22ab15c-d435-4347-abfd-5f34e1988e04.png "emoji visible-disgust") and Critical Drinker ![kombucha-disgust](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/47e615e9-e897-4206-ad34-f2f6162cc749.png "emoji kombucha-disgust") subreddits. I clicked on one of the posts and among the hivemind of the most room temperature IQ chud redditors you can imagine abuzz about how horrible and woke IGN was being was one lone commenter asking if IGN had actually officially stated they would not review the game. A guy responded that while it can't be proven IGN hasn't reviewed the game yet because they object to its content, it's probably the most likely reason ![morshupls](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/c02af2c2-f4a1-4d6e-bf78-2e0565dc10ca.gif "emoji morshupls") I fucking hate all of these people, the cynical right-wing agitators making up shit for views and the stupid gamer morons who lap it up because of vibes

    I'm rewatching Spirited Away with English subs I grabbed off opensubtitles.org and I had already been confused by some phantom lines that didn't correspond to any spoken dialogue but this scene made it obvious what was happening- there's extra lines added in places where the characters are facing away from the camera ![michael-laugh](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3858ea0f-f09c-4c6f-95a1-5dda154612ad.png "emoji michael-laugh") Either the subtitler was hallucinating or these originate from the dub. I grew up watching a VHS tape ![chomsky-yes-honey](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/5aff9849-cb95-46a2-93d8-ee5af1c85330.png "emoji chomsky-yes-honey") in Japanese with Finnish subtitles and I don't recall this scene having dialogue

    Not much info here but I wonder if these were some sort of fake NES/SNES/Mega Drive minis or just handheld emulation devices in general I was wondering if shipping SD cards full of ROMs would ever come to bite the manufacturers in the ass and I guess it might have. Will this be a one-off thing or a sign of a wider EU crackdown? I think there was a warning earlier issued by some agency this month about how the solder in one of the Anbernic devices exceeded EU's maximum lead levels Edit: There's a video of the Italian cops' raid on the warehouse where the devices were being held, looks like a large variety of different devices https://youtu.be/U4lYIzijJSU?si=mmvXSsipSaMEnaOv

    (For other examples, please see Thief: Deadly Shadows and Deus Ex: Invisible War) Just started playing this recently and I'm absolutely tickled by how it looks. The only thing that's missing is everything being caked in `CHONKY` oversaturated low-res bloom so typical of late-era Xbox games. I wouldn't be surprised if it got removed in this later HD rerelease I am playing, but if it did, it's a crime against nature Stranger's Wrath is a sci-fi Western fps set in the Oddworld universe that asks the question: What if John Marston was a furry that could double jump and run on all fours?
