Patented Skinner burgers. Old family recipe. For steamed hams.

Is the UK not considered the West? I don't understand.

He's claiming this whole credit problem is US only and not the rest of the West.

Well, it's SOMEONE ELSE getting bitten, but close enough.

Well, some people just treat it like playing sports. Wanna go play ball? Wanna play CSGO? Hey, this ball/shirt/skin looks fancier! It's foreign, but understandable to me.

It also seems to be as many people as it was back shooters became a big thing. Out of the few people I know who video game, one only does FPS, one sticks to a few different games (Ultrakill, TF2, Peak to name a few), one either plays co-op with his gf or does Single player, and one mostly plays single player like me. Chatting up random people about games, that ratio seems similiar.

There's a whole company/llm about doing that whose CEO gave a Ted talk about it.

After that, I actually had a pretty wild idea about someone using to replace dead/missing people in chats. Imagine the horror of finding out your friend died months ago, or got kidnapped. Horribly impractical but sounds like a good novel.

I was thinking that they might require a Steam account to order, the same way they stopped scalpers for Steam Deck, but there'd be ways around that.

It'd be hilarious if you needed something like "profile level 10" to order though.

I was going to get a PS5 since Steam Deck is finally running out of steam for games I actually care about. (And after the hassle a friend building his PC had, desktops scare me)

But then Valve announced Gabecube anyway, so the only reason I'd want one is for maybe reselling physical games after beating them. And I already have a Switch 2 to do that with.

Goodbye to Steam Deck for this? Both, both is good.

I'm buying this not just for TV play, but hopefully also streaming to SD as a performance upgrade (without handing a ton of money annually to GeForce for laggy inputs), as someone who hasn't had a desktop to do that in a long while. At that point, Steam Deck is a GabeCube accessory turning it into a Switch.

I prefer GabeCube

It really proves that the game can be a normal JRPG, albeit a grindy one in the beginning.

It's unrelated to difficulty, but, is it a good one though? Being grindy to me is generally a pretty terrible thing in a JRPG. Part of marketing for SMTV's rerelease was nerfing the impact of level on damage, and basically everyone loved that.

I also don't see many defensive options for the half of the game I'm at besides Maelle's redirect, or maybe absurd defense/HP stacking, if defense even works.

And some people STILL can't beat it without parries.

Granted, I'm in Act 2 (Expert), and I think the ludicrous level factor into damage is to blame. The fact every other (mini)boss you fight is overlevelled, and just a few levels seem to be a 2-3x damage difference, is so stupid, I imagine someone running into 3 in a row and just giving up.

Crosscode has a ton of dialogue changed if you turn on NG+ modifiers, such as carrying over levels or using a "cheat code" for ludicrous damage, 1shotting almost everything.

One NPC quotes the "you cheated not the game, but yourself" copypasta.
