I got the new mini pc and set it up for the normal family computer use.  Which means I am hooking up my graming PC to the TV...

Windows 10 has hated my AMD Radeon 5600 from day one.  It's not decided it does not exists and I don't need the drivers anymore. Fuck Windows!

I am battling it now.

What mini PC did you get? I've been interested in getting one for retro emulation, but I've heard some of those mini PCs come with pre-installed malware, which has made me leary.

Yeah, lots of PC's do.  Its called Windows.  

Fair point.

I've been playing Another Crab's Treasure.  My GamePass subscription ends on the 26th, but I have no illusions that I'll beat the game by then.  Perhaps I'll sub for one month longer as that'd be cheaper than buying the game.

It's the first shoalslike I play and while I enjoy the setting and the challenge, I've noticed that I perform best when I ban all emotion and just calmly read the tells and get in the flow.  It's a strange experience, to play a game like that, nearly as a robot.  But the setting and writing are enjoyable, so I'm planning to see this one through.

Lots of PS4 Owners Have Yet to Upgrade to PS5 Cross-gen = No Upgrade Required

I'm definitely feeling the same way.  There's still plenty being released for the Xbone, I feel no need to get with the times whatsoever.

I guess it's not only cross-gen, but also the succes of the Switch.  If you're aiming to release on Switch as well, why not also release on last gen home consoles?

This, plus where's the killer apps? Nothing has really wowed me.

Been continuing playing Eiyuden Chronicle this weekend. It’s kind of both good and “meh” at the same time. There’s a lot of stopping and talking in the game and most of it tends to be pretty pointless or uninteresting. Story and characters are largely pretty bland. Combat can be a bit frustrating and seems a bit unfair at times with enemies usually targeting already downed characters so unless you revive them with full health they’ll get killed right away again. Bosses sometimes have a “gimmick” to them but they can be random. For instance one boss goes underground and will pop up on either the left or right. If you choose the wrong side then that can end up being a wasted attack. Pretty middling game so far that I’d probably give like a 6.5 to.

Thanks, now I can wipe that off the list.

Bought Hitman Blood Money, Vanquish and Wolfenstein the New Order.

Forgot to buy Splinter Cell Double Agent.

Anything I should know about these games? Difficulty spikes, game breaking bugs or anything?

Also saw FF13-II today which I didn't even know existed. Are 10 and 13 the only FF games with direct sequels?

Kamrui is the manufacturer. I checked some online reviews and it works great. Not for gaming (though you could stream games on it).  Comes with Windows 11 (some don't so check the details).

Nintendo buying Shiver is weird. Their ports aren't even good. They should have bought Virtuous or Saber Interactive.

Saber would have also given them the Snowrunner developer.
