The students character designs seem weirdly off. Some more photogenic, less freckled peeps would be nice. These students all look like they were raised under the staircase from birth.

Had me rolling.

So, anyone pumped for Hollow Knight Silksong?  Years in the making, hype level skyrocketing and it's finally nearly here.  4th of september!  Whoooo!

Anyhow, I probably won't be getting it immediately.  I've got plenty of stuff to play as is, but am definitely looking forward to playing it in due time.


I think I've made my feelings on Hollow Knight fairly clear in this forum, and I am definitely looking forward to playing this. I'm a little wary of the control scheme, as I think it's going to be a little more complicated than Hollow Knight was. Not necessarily a bad thing, but given the difficulty of the original, I'm a bit worried Silksong's going to be even a harder.

Whats with the Ashen skin tone?

Maybe the Lumos spell has faded their skin.

What house did you choose?

I've been playing it more than I thought I would. I like the open concept with missions.

Don't like that you can't talk to most npcs. I thought I'd enjoy exploring Hogwarts itself.

But its very much like a large church at this point and a bit repetitive.

How many fecking sets of stairs are there in this building. We need a magical elevator.

I called my character Phineus Bottom-Fart

I chose Hufflepuff. You know how to use the floo network, right?

Yes but I like to walk around a lot too, warping everywhere breaks the immersion and Im trying to get the layout of Hogwarts before I start quick travelling.

Does the game play differently depending on your house choice?

A little. I'm seem to be on a quest right now that I certainly don't remember when I first played this. I was in Ravenclaw.

It was such a small part of the game which probably explains why I didn't remember it.

I beat the main story on both Cyberpunk and Phantom Liberty.

Great stuff, PLiberty campaign might be better than the main game. I thought I was done but then remembered there are multiple endings.

I went back to before the final phase and tried the other option and the game is incredibly content generous, Im now on a very long all new ending path and I have 3 more endings I can go for after that.

And 2 of the endings require you to be a different gender so you can romance certain individuals. Great game, I'll always remember this as my prime switch 2 launch experience.

On Forza 8, the Steering assist setting is set to "normal" by default. When I set it to "simulation" this morning, the game said it wasn't recommended for gamepad players, only for steering wheel. BS, I say! Steering is a bit more twitchy at first, but it's also a lot more responsive too. Took me a half dozen laps around Maple valley long course to adjust to it, but it feels much better. 👍

Love to hear your impressions.

One tip I'll give you, get the legs cyberware that allows you to double jump. It's essential and you can buy it from a doc easily.

Finished the Aldercado ending. It's not just a different ending, its a different whole last segment to the game from the Haneko ending I did.

I have 3 more endings to do as well as one more different Phantom Liberty outcome.

Whoa, Switch 2 joycon warning.

My right stick became very hard to press in one direction. I thought it was f-ed up like a switch 1 joystick. I recalibrate, had the same problem, an unnatural resistance to pressing the stick in one direction.

Upon further inspection I saw a difference between how the underside of the sticks looked when pressing the stick in different directions.

Under the stick there is a rubber covering inside of the coloured rings. It had bunched up on one side.

And me trying to press it hard to one side probably was risking it tearing or cracking.

The fix was incredibly simple, used a skewer to poke it back out to its normal shape. So if your sticks feel stiff, look underneath while pressing it in different directions.

Been playing more Hogwarts Legacy.

DLSS is really excellent, literally virtually no signs of visible upscaling. Crisp and clean and stable.

From this game and Cyberpunk compared to demos of other games not using DLSS there's a vast difference in the quality of graphics shown.

I think Japanese devs in particular as they don't release on PC as much they don't have DLSS factored into their development pipeline.

I'd love to see DLSS patched into games that don't use it.

Once I turned off HDR, Hogwarts looks really nice now, although the super aggressive depth of field during some conversations is too much. Might turn it off in the options.

I also broke out the Switch 1 joycons to charge and holding them again, holy crap they feel small now.

Might actually be more comfortable for my small hands.
