Looks like it keeps the aggro system, open world and no missables (thank god no missables. I hate having to use a guide to play a game.)
New features list from the steam store page:
Explore and conquer an entire new world in the land of Sycamore.
- Even more build possibilities with new options like combat items, ability augments, and new equipment modifiers.
- Discover entirely new classes, alongside remixed returning classes that feature new abilities and passives.
- Looser weapon skill restrictions: weapon skills are now classified as either slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning.
- Tune your playthrough to your tastes with more assist options and more challenge options.
- New systems like snappier animations and new mechanics like summoning allies.
- Get access to more teleport points by collecting multiple Home Point Stones.
- Customize your party member appearance and clothing colors.
- Actual fishing! Who knows what you’ll find…
- And more.
Here’s hoping theres a bit more in terms of revamping. I did like the original but it fell off a bit for me as I approached late game.

So it’s basically crystal project but with a few new classes and a different map? Tilesets look very similar for much of it, as do tons of the sprites.

Don’t worry, when they hire back their humans they will be paying them 25%+ less after adjusting for inflation.
- Comment on Hands-On with the Retroid Pocket Classic; A Love Letter to the Game Boy Era 1 week ago:
So I do casually follow the handheld emulation stuff. I’ve always thought android sucks as a platform for gaming in general, but shouldn’t all of those retroid problems apply to the ayn thor? My assumption is that people are in love with that thing, but maybe the boot times are just better or they did a better job of the driver/power management?… or maybe the marketing is just on point.
I have a deck so I don’t really see a point to having another handheld, but I still want to understand why x vs y.
Also am full time linux on desktop os at home and work and I can definitely see how the boot and sleep state times would be much better just in general on a properly tweaked distro.
- Comment on PlayStation Plus price increase announced for new customers 1 week ago:
Seriously, they are already getting a cut on every single game sold due to licensing. They discontinue services very early too for tons of games because the companies making the games are the actual hosts anyway.
So I guess we pay for shitty voice chat and some updates? and the privilege of them unlocking the ability of playing multiplayer. Imagine if microsoft charged a subscription for updates for normal users, or they charged a subscription to connect to a network connection.

I’ve sat in mid and upper level executive meetings about this stuff.
They 100% know exactly who did what review, it’s not secret no matter how much they swear up and down it is, if you’re high enough in the chain.
Lower middle management won’t be told who it was generally, especially if their report size is a handful. They still know exactly what was inputted though because they see the responses and can generally tell who it was based on that alone due to context hints.

It’s his contractors. They’ll do a bunch of free private work by charging 10x+ for this.
Quid pro quo / corruption per usual.

As far as I know an internet connection is required on a vanilla OOBE setup of windows 11 with today’s iso or a dell/hp/lenovo preload.
Most user systems ship with W11 Home licenses, no pro, so they don’t even have a domain join option.

Yes, invoking a command prompt to enter a command is under the hood for most users.
I work in IT, I know all the tricks. I also know how users tend to behave. Anyone who is tech savvy can figure out the ins and outs and get around all manner of things. If you just follow what you can click on screen and stick strictly to GUI and zero customized OOBE tweaks you have no other option.

I use CachyOS, but for the vanilla home user “I bought a laptop!” at bestbuy or whatever the fuck, there’s no local account option anymore. It’s connect to the internet and sign in with microsoft, and nag you constantly every 3 days until you activate onedrive and other microsoft services.
I got an ARM64 laptop through work to test to see how it might work as an experiment and this has been how the device behaves from day 1. It’s a nightmare.

Enterprise and SMB always have practical workarounds that consumers do not need to deal with.
The only way to create a local user account on windows 11 now without fuckery is pretending you are going to domain join. No other method exists without under the hood tweaks. A similar workaround would work.
But none of this actually protects kids. The goal is to have total surveillance over as many users as possible in their home life. Enterprise is already handled by m365 and google workspace after all.

Some safety equipment encourages accidents.
For bicycles though, can’t really say anything negative about helmets. They save brains.
American Football though? I bet the concussion problem would go away overnight if they took them away. You don’t bash your head against someone unless you think you’re invulnerable thanks to a helmet anyway.

I liked what I could figure out with crosscode. I got to a point where I was stuck and could see no way to progress though, and this was relatively early.
Trailer for this one looks phenomenal. Those animations are awesome.

- Comment on PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites 1 month ago:
I skipped the switch 2 despite heavily using the switch 1 for many years, and i’m planning on skipping future iterations of playstations as well. PC has usurped consoles for me entirely.
Even couch gaming on linux is better than a console. I’m all set. The deck or it’s equivalents handles any handheld gaming I want to do and it’s trivial to stream locally if I don’t want to have a gaming computer near my tv.
Oh, and i’ve ditched microsoft controllers to. 3rd party quality is phenomenal nowadays and it’s not limited to any one brand. I have this flydigi and 8bitdo stuff that all feel amazing and are more reliable than microsoft’s own. It’s so nice not being dependent on overpriced garbage!

You could do far worse. It’s surprisingly smooth and still looks phenomenal.

This game runs and looks amazing on the deck. For a while it was given the black “unsupported” mark on the deck because the deck didn’t support the multiplayer mode, so they literally broke off the MP as free dlc. They definitely put work in to make it look and run wonderfully just for the deck though and it shows.
Wasn’t super impressed though past the visuals. Nothing pulls me back to this game. Formula just feels flat.

My wife is up to 800 hours with this game across half a dozen saves. She’s doing a completionist run right now that’s about 200 hours in, getting close.
Kind of amazing how much depth there is in this game and little hidden things that you’d never find unless you REALLY put time into it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Pretty much. That age old meme of money/time/energy is spot on, and when you have all the time and energy it sure does feel like the only time that matters is now.
But it’s only one short part of life. If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that I should have been an anesthesiologist. lol
