Most recent ps vita firmware has been hacked, p easy to do. Well worth doing if you've got one hanging around in a drawer. Stuck on Medal Of Honor ps1 to test the emulation and was playing for ages. Nostalgia <3

nice have they finally stopped updating vita fw? i didn't hack my psp until they had firmly given up on it 'cause i didn't want to bother keeping up w/updates

There definitely won't be anymore updates that add anything for users. They might try and patch out the vulnerability that allows this hack, if they can even be arsed doing that. Just turn off auto update - I missed out last time because this was on, frankly I'm chuffed some clever person found a new exploit, I really thought that was it now

works on vita tv?

Aye apparently so, I found a pretty decent guide on how to do both vita and tv on reddit r/vitahacks.

Replaying fallout 3/new vegas before 76 comes out. Also just finished resident evil 7 (terrifying game), and been playing path of exile.

Word. I might do the same after I finish my current Prey (2017) playthrough. Still feel weird about the Fallout franchise taking the multiplayer route, but I should probably keep an open mind about it. I have a feeling FO76 is gonna be similar to Fortnite's STW mode.

Would you recommend RE7? It looks somewhat intriguing, but I feel like I'd get super claustrophobic, judging from the gameplay footage I've seen.

It sounds like they're making sure that griefing isn't an issue, so I'm hopeful it's still a fun fallout game that I can play with a buddy.

as for RE7...if you like survival horror games then yes, I'd recommend. It's a lot different then the other RE games but the plot ties in with them. I got it on the steam summer sale. some parts were definitely stressful, but the story kept me engaged and wanting to finish it. 

is Warframe worth trying?

It's free, so yeah, only costs your time and bandwidth for download. It's overwhelming as hell for a newbie though (even as someone who has put a couple hundred hours in I still get confused and have to look stuff up). The gameplay loop is very grindy but there's very little p2w and there are wikis full of useful information. I'd avoid story spoilers (there are some ace story missions later in the game) but for gameplay or on where to find a resource feel free to look anything up, it'll make your experience much more fun.

I've put about 75 hrs into it and I have no desire to go back to it. it's way too grindy, but if you want something like Destiny to play with frands then it's your deal.

worst thing is you're mostly not even grinding towards something special, it's mostly just mindless accumulation of weapons / gear you'll never even use anyway because the META is so ridiculous (consisting 99,9% of braindead ability spam because energy economy is quasi nonexistant even mid-game) and the whole game balance broken beyond belief so there is no real endgame (as in: challenging content for vets) either. steam says i got over 3800 hours into it and i feel genuinely bad about it since it's mostly just sunken cost fallacy and pathologial completionism at this point (the game quite strongly capitalizes on the latter, it went platinum sales status in steam this year after all, as a free to play mind you...).

it starts out as a an OK 3rd person coop shooter but soon turns into diablo / cookie clicker gameplaywise. if you're not prone to addiction and manage to stay away from the META i'd recommend it for a while.

Finally beat Dad of War (aka God of War).

The ending... eh, I suppose it was alright. Very anticlimactic compared to other GoW games.

Honestly, there are so many other side quests and tasks to do, the main storyline is almost inconsequential compared to the rest.

Still a damn good game though.

Is it just me or is it trendy for games to have crappy endings these days

Did you go home and take a nap yet?

i just bought puyo puyo tetris and i like that i have the ability to turn off quick drop and hold in tetris matches but what bothers me is on the title screen you can choose to have a quick game of tetris but in that game you can't turn off quick drop and hold... pretty fucked up.

i prefer classic tetris

Aww yiss

Decided to start fresh instead of using the demo save. Game is so chill, and perfect for just grabbing the Switcheroo to play a stolen few minutes here and there.

I started playing Alien: Isolation after giving up on Yakuza 0 and Life is Strange: Before the Storm. I'm enjoying the vibe far.

Dishonored 2 : Death of the Outsider

I am one armed Rosario Dawson conversing with rats and thieving your jellied eels.

I'm a few hours in and have met a couple more of the characters... the story (stories?) is incredibly braindead but it does work for a relaxed drop in and out kind of game.

SWITCH INNIT

I deleted the hell out of the octopath demo. Really pitifully derivative stuff.

I recommend Steamworld Dig 2. Metroid style but with a really engrossing and eerie exploration aspect where you just keep digging down and down. Best game I’ve played since BOTW.

Odyssey is great but you already knew that.

Switch is amazing. Such a great steam port box. Can’t wait to replay hyper light drifter. Also minit is coming out soon.

Jellied eels? Those are also in Prey. No coincidence I'm sure, considering both games are by the same developer.

Finally got to Enter the Guneon's final boss and got my skull crushed in less than a minute.

On the bright side a free update is due in a few days.

You're right - I didn't make the connection. That new Prey DLC is next on my list I think.

Mooncrash is pretty good. Probably the first time I've seen the "roguelike" concept put into practice by a AAA developer. The maps are a constant, but every sim run has different placement of enemies, weapons, and items.

Did you head back to your cabin yet?

EDIT: I just noticed acid1's post. And ya, go back home and take a nap in your super comfy looking bed.

I thought the game was fanastic, but ya, was looking for more of a grand climax at the end. I shall say no more than I think a grand climax will still come, just not on the version we have now.

I just have to beat the Valkyrie Queen and finish the last few ravens off and I'll have the platinum trophy. What a blast the game is. Really well done.
