GAMERS LAIR

[CTPAX001RUS]

Damn pax, how many burner accounts you have?

Zero and I`m not joking

On a side note, you were banned too it seems....

I just scrolled down almost the ENTIRE list of country restrictions for DOOM Eternal on Fanatical after thinking of Dante wanting it (sorry bro, poor lol), and I gotta say it looks quite prejudice, even fucking Ukraine is allowed but not Russia.

Just for an example of why I'm even saying this...off the top of my head here are some other countries allowed in comparison.

• All of them

So they allow real german nazi's, dumb poloks, losers from the virgin islands, the french who bails on us during likely more than one war, fag smoking brits, people who vanished in the bermuda triangle and came back to haunt us, spear chucking africans, Penguins of Madagascar, and pretty much every other insulting joke I could insert here but they felt the need to ban JUST Russia like a holy fucking crusade

Even I'm a little pissed at that move.

I was having a wicked fucked up time, the stupid AWA site refused to register my playtime because there was none...I've been waiting for like 9 months now

Fuck it We are already fine without Fanatical, although I am friends with them in Discord

P.S. Thx for supporting

This was on a learning steam game store page, now I'm not much for blasphemy...but I gotta say, this one made me laugh

It just got hit again, I read about it this morning.
Here's 2 news articles about it.

The Guardian:
Why is the Kerch Bridge attack significant to the war in Ukraine?

CBS News:
Russia says Ukraine killed 2 in attack on key bridge linking Crimea with Russian mainland

Yes, they blew up part of the bridge, traffic has already been partially restored, they killed two adult men and a woman, their daughter survived, they were going to rest at sea. The joke is you know what - this attack did not affect the Russian army at all. Zelensky is a real terrorist and murderer and all those who support him, I guarantee you, will be destroyed.

The United States did not notice the "dramatic effect" for the Russian army from the bombing of the Crimean bridge. The coordinator for strategic communications of the White House, John Kirby, believes that the undermining of the Crimean Bridge did not affect the capabilities of the Russian army. "We have not seen any impact of the strike on the bridge on the alignment of forces and means of Russia and its military potential in the Crimea or in the south of Ukraine. <...> My guess is that it will not have a dramatic effect," Mr. Kirby said at a briefing.

Thats just shitty...I am going to add that the first attacks on Ukraine hit schools and shit that were not war based whatsoever, I doubt russia has that terrible of an arsenal to claim an accident.

War itself is a monster.

When the beautiful Crimean Bridge was opened in 2017, I went on a business trip to the peninsula along it (Crimea bridge (Crimea, Russia)). This bridge connects my region (Krasnodar region) and the Republic of Crimea. I was amazed at how outdated everything is there. It's like I'm back in the Soviet Union. My relative also went there a year before and left the same negative review. Infrastructure and people's thinking were at a backward level. They have not developed in any way since the collapse of the USSR. At the same time, I saw how many new roads were being built by our government and buildings. Over the years, a lot has changed in people's lives, normal laws have come there, many modern schools, universities, hospitals, airports and other things have opened. This is about how we see modern Crimea: Официальный сайт курорта Mriya Resort & SPA 5* в Крыму

Now that seems more like a comment from someone who has seen some of the ugly side and good side of things

 

[DanteFromHell89]

Dante are you coinz going up in hitsquad? I see you there. Mine arent and I've been there an hour

are you actually watching or the site is just opened in another tab while you doing your stuff?
'cause it's actually matters.

I have to admit that I abandoned more FFs than the two of you played together Although I also finished enough. But I don't like almost all numbered parts, especially I hate 7. But I have a very good opinion about all its spinoffs For the sake of curiosity, I will try to count...

Interesting opinion...
Why you hate the numbered ones? Why do you hate FF7?

This game is terrible no matter which way you approach it. It looks awful (in both overworld and battle modes), it's very slow, it's very boring. I don't know how someone can even survive the first disc and not die of boredom and shitty random encounters (there are three CDs, who doesn't know). I honestly tried, but as soon as I was offered to remove the first disk, I did not read further about inserting the second - I removed it and forgot. I highly, highly doubt that at least a third of all the people who scream at every corner about the greatness of this game have even played a third of it.

Okay, now that's not looking any good. But I can relate.
I guess...
Kinda...
I mean, I've started the game twice already in my life and I've never completed it. It's all about those sidequests that fright me off (tbh, on my second playthrough I've stoped right after I've got Yuffie in my party, just 'cause of all the sidequests connected to her and her hometown - it's TOO MUCH, or it's NOT too much, but it could be NOT interesting enough, I dunno).

Saying that game looked bad by the time of it's release's standarts...is QUITE controversial though.

No, I consider it an attempt to make a normal game on the second try. I think they will succeed, only the idiotic policy of exclusivity and greed can drown the idea of a halfway.

Wow....another very interesting opinion there! Like for real, never heard that from anyone who have said anything about FFVIIR.

I started several FFs since the Super Nintendo days - never finished any. That whole franchise is boring to me. My favourite RPGs on SNES were Chrono Trigger, Earthbound and Breath of Fire 1 and 2. I'm probably the only human being who thinks FF is overrated.

FF and DQ paved the way to all the other jrpgs, so you just CAN'T state that those are overrated as the series/phenomena.
Some of the series' games aren't as good as the others? Yeah, maybe, but there're NO series that has each and every entry great (alas there're only 2 games and thus it's not a series).

Get playing vic

Works on switch too

WAIT WHAT?!
Also, but what about the level of your characters? I mean, I got it, some ppl don't like random encounters, okay, but do they like their asses handed down to them when another bossfight comes along? What's the point?
And yeah, I don't like the grinding nature of rpg's either, but it's, as I've said, in it's naiture.

I gotta say it looks quite prejudice, even fucking Ukraine is allowed but not Russia.

What's so prejudicial about that?
imho, the reasons behind this one is obvious, but I dunno about all the other countries.

Just for an example of why I'm even saying this...off the top of my head here are some other countries allowed in comparison.

Oh, so all's fine, I guess than...

I just scrolled down almost the ENTIRE list of country restrictions for DOOM Eternal on Fanatical after thinking of Dante wanting it (sorry bro, poor lol)

Oh, it's so kind of you))... I appreciate it, the thoughts means for me enough, even though there're that contrary opinion that only actions means something.

Now I'm afraid to see your ports, congratulations

Ehh, it wasn't about porting, it was about the sprites itself, isn't that obvious, dude?

I'm not sick of books, i literally can't sit still to read them

Ohh, the back problems, IC...
Well, for the last 10+ years I'm reading only through my phone and it's always right before going to sleep, so I'm not sitting when I'm reading.

Not quite, and if you do your 'usual' web hunt when you don't have an answer, you'll notice this was much more common for this particular game than most.
Probably from users like me who hadn't had a western release for many, missed them, or just plain out took the fucking blue glowing goten as more DBZ than usual, they even say hes part Dragon

Ehh, I dunno. And maybe I dunno 'cause I'm not the actual fan of both DBZ and Dragon Quest, so I'm not spending enough time on the thematical videos or something like that.

No idea what your saying here, no hablar retrasado lmao.

Oh, I meant Crisis Core, sorry (too much Final Fantasy, I guess, hehe)

Thats just shitty...I am going to add that the first attacks on Ukraine hit schools and shit that were not war based whatsoever, I doubt russia has that terrible of an arsenal to claim an accident.

War itself is a monster.

Totally agree!!

And yeah, I don't like the grinding nature of rpg's either, but it's, as I've said, in it's naiture.

I've actually done a low level run on FFVI (3 for snes, 6 now/japan) so I could see it being useful, personally I ended up grinding MORE on FF VII for the materia levels, which is one of my big pet peeves about the remake (and the sidequests...they're WORSE)

When doing the low level run, the vveldt was your home for cash and Gau was probably your best character because of his rages, which also included fighting JUST the right battles to get as many good rages as possible and the right armor to make gua near invincible just to get past the boss before the floating continent...and it was still hell, but unique and interesting.

I can see its purposes there, and I would think the Knights of the Round esper would be your survival (it decimated practically everything in one shot) in FF VII classic...but I agree in a sense.

Battles are part of the game and in FF VII had much more purpose than most, so shutting them off is going to be more annoying late game IMO.

What's so prejudicial about that?
imho, the reasons behind this one is obvious, but I dunno about all the other countries.

Because of all the other countries, maybe I didn't word that in order properly.

Oh, it's so kind of you))... I appreciate it, the thoughts means for me enough, even though there're that contrary opinion that only actions means something

Pretty sure I covered the action category, I'd say your the one slacking there

Ehh, it wasn't about porting, it was about the sprites itself, isn't that obvious, dude?

I meant the thought of you redoing video game art was scary, isn't THAT obvious?

Ehh, I dunno. And maybe I dunno 'cause I'm not the actual fan of both DBZ and Dragon Quest, so I'm not spending enough time on the thematical videos or something like that.

I just did a search for Dai DBZ and its all over reddit and crap I don't even sign into usually heh.

Oh, I meant Crisis Core, sorry (too much Final Fantasy, I guess, hehe)

I know which game, I don't know what you were trying to say about it...I've clearly said I never played it.

so much talk about ff7 but no mention of ever crisis?

FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS | SQUARE ENIX

The official site of the latest game in the FINAL FANTASY VII series-FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS-for your smartphone.

already had prereg and beta test people posting videos of

[DanteFromHell89]

I meant the thought of you redoing video game art was scary, isn't THAT obvious?

Why's that? I've showed some of my art skills here, have I not?

I know which game, I don't know what you were trying to say about it...I've clearly said I never played it.

Oh, IC. Well, you can look up the screenshots/videos))...
Actually, I've added one screenshot, but yeah, for someone who haven't played the game that screenshot isn't telling enough, I got it

 

[Zoliv]

I was having a wicked fucked up time, the stupid AWA site refused to register my playtime because there was none...I've been waiting for like 9 months now

I guess if you don't want Steam friends, you probably also have a private profile ? AWA needs public profiles to be able to work.

 

[Zoliv]

I had the exact same problem, this is how I fixed it (I actually cleared my cookies and logged back into each of these, but that might not be necessary).

On that reset page, it gives you a list:

Twitter
Twitch
Discord
Steam
Facebook
Email Click that option and take note of which email address it goes to.
try to ignore the rest of the options and check your spam folder for the code!

Also, Twitter glitched out on me for a while with an error message (it fixed itself after I came back later).

Here's the error message it gave me.

Spoiler: Error Message

gleam.io says

Twitter rejected our request: You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints (e.g. media post, oauth) only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/product

What did it for me was the recovery mail, i tried this one first, and it made it work, thanks !

As Zolivv said you need public to make steam quests. When you have public profile Awa may register the playtime with some delay. When you turn the profile on public it will show you quest completed, you don't need to replay again the game.

Few fast reviews before bed...

Adventures of a Snowboarder
This is a simple game, move left and right dodging trees, reminds me of mini-games in RPGs and things of that sort, its fun...but don't expect any complicated gameplay.

One of those neat little ways to waste a few minutes if your bored

Peppys Adventues
First thing this reminded me of was Super Mario World for SNES, you have a level based map icon to icon you traverse and you can use "Flutes" to skip levels (3 actually lol) that you can get back by going back and beating the level later.

Basic concept, your a bunny on a timer with wolves trying to eat you while you try to eat all the cabbage, but they also have traps hit by buttons you or the enemies can press, leaves over pits etc that you can fall in or kill the enemies with, it can actually get quite complicated especially while your in a rush.

This is one of the better small games I've seen lately, its actually quite fun.

Mugsters
Idfk what i'm doing or what the point is in this game yet, it just drops your little ghost looking stick figure middle of nowhere with no control or gameplay explanation...but I figured out how to throw an explosive barrel and blew some shit up in only a few second. 10/10

Really this looks like it'll be a blast once I figure it out.

R.I.P.D The Game
Online Only, dead server lol

---

I also gave Trail Out a try, and its playable for sure, drifting is different than what i'm used too but the controls are good from what I tried...maybe I'll give my insights into this one after I get a bit further in.

One thing I'll say is the start of the game has a neat optimization setup that tells you if your graphic settings will suck before you start with ranges and an estimated framerate.

Looks fun too, its combat racing without weapons...but racing games can be deceiving early on so i'll get back to it another time when I have more time.

Tbh, I don't think it's Fanatical fault but the game publisher's. I was just checking some titles and they're all allowed in Russia (e. g. Persona 5 Royal).

Tbh, I don't think it's Fanatical fault but the game publisher's. I was just checking some titles and they're all allowed in Russia (e. g. Persona 5 Royal).

I never said it was Fanatical, that was pax...I just said its where I checked. i was actually blaming the dev not the store ftr (for both of you)

EDIT:

Thats why I was specific about which game, if I was going to say it was Fanatical, I would have checked more games...although I did buy a key for Soulblight from Fanatical when the HB key was region locked and it said it worked in Russia, it didn't. Of course thats likely again the devs and just an error on the Fanatical Page.

I can say they're overrated - that's my subjective opinion, not objective value. And yes, there are franchises that have been constantly good: Knights of the Old Republic, Starcraft, Warcraft, Baldur's Gate, Fallout (I don't consider MMO-shit or that old PS2 shooter Fallout games), Monkey Island, The Elder Scrolls, Gabriel Knight, SMT Persona...

R.I.P.D The Game
Online Only, dead server lol

Played in one about two years ago. I'm not sure that it is possible just play online with random dudes, but with a friend in a coop it turns out really well. There is absolutely nothing to do there in solo, it gets very boring very quickly, but together you can get to the end and get some fun.
