For me the game still isn't "fine." It's a lot more stable now but even with a completely fresh install and save I'm still running into a lot of the problems that was present during launch like all the civilians looking the same regardless of the setting you're on, NPCs running into each other and then choking up sections of the map. I just keep running into these NPC blobs where they just stand there and do nothing. There's still things they said they fixed like npcs materializing out of nowhere.

I'd enjoy using the m30 a bit more if they fixed some of the problems, otherwise that dpad is among one of my favorites to use. The lack of pivot really kills the dpad for me since it's so easy to depress all 4 buttons at the same time. Mine had another problem develop which made the dpad unusable since it kept sticking. If you enjoy a 6 button pad you might as well go for a fight stick since most controllers have some significant problems for me.

I've heard good things about the Victrix controller and the Octa (although the octa has some qc problems). The Raion would've been an amazing controller but it suffers a lot of the same problems the m30 has. The Fighting Commander is probably my favorite of the bunch.

An Aeropress, Moka Pot or a Vietnamese Phin Filter are other cheap alternatives to try. But if you're overextracting in a French Press you might be doing something wrong with the brew time and/or the temperature.

It'd also help to know how darkly roasted it is and what type of beans they are.

Imo, this kinda reflects how the term RPG is used so loosely used leading it to be both a misused and overused term.

It's just so generic and meaningless now since it's just anything with stats, equipment, or you pretend to be someone else. Before you could refer to RPGs as games that used systems from the Tabletop scene because that's where they got their inspiration from. It combined a giant world, the importance of player choice, a vast world, and character stats which served as a sandbox for the player to explore. Then it sorta changed into CRPG which people are now also trying to redefine into Western RPG for some reason?

For me though, the key defining feature of a CRPG was always the power the player had to control the story. They're given real choices that impact the story and the world within it. I haven't seen an JRPG have that same scope since most of them play out similar to Visual Novels (this isn't me making it a negative but outlining what CRPGs focus on compared to RPGs)

RPGs also weren't ever locked into turn based or real time. Games like Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, and Pillars of Eternity could be considered CRPGs rather than just RPGs and they use both turn based and real time. Baldurs Gate 3 is the exception to the Baldur's Gate series with it locking into Turn based only. But even then, you had games like Underrail staying completely turn based.

It's not just Roblox allowing casino sites and running unregulated markets. They allow for porn on their platform and also allowing child predators and child exploitation on their platforms. I'm not sure why parents even allow their kids to go on the platform since Roblox doesn't care about it.

People Makes Games did 2 videos a year ago digging deeper into it.

1. Predatory Actions
2. Exploitation

A modern alternative is Songs of Conquest. It has a pretty active community but it's always good to have more players.

How finicky is installing custom roms on refurbished Samsung phones or android phones in general usually?
I usually avoid refurbished phones even though the flagships offer better performance and value compared to buying the midrange and budget phones but the lack of software updates are something I'm concerned about. That said, if there was a more clear recommended OS to install I'd be willing to give it a try.

Trials of Mana. Actually the whole Mana series were completely unique and very innovative when they first released. But the combination of story telling, party building, and combat system still hasn't been topped for me. The games are something I always have ready to emulate at all times. Fingers crossed they decide to remake the rest of the Mana series. Legend of Mana needs some love even though I remember most people weren't really keen on building their own world.

The Tales series was probably the closest before the switched from 2D to 3D. The switch, I thought, took away a lot of what made them stand out from other jrpgs in the market.

My close 2nd is Legend of Dragoon since it actually changed the combat system in a really meaningful way. Legend of Legaia also did something similar but I thought the storytelling was better in Legend of Dragoon.

Soul Sacrifice still needs some love. It's only downfall was releasing on such a niche system like the Vita. It actually moves the MH formula forward in a really interesting manner by forcing you to make really interesting choices in the story.

The anti-glare is definitely worth it and it's also very noticeable outside. The other option is that you could just upgrade the screen from ifixit if you're also going to be upgrading your storage anyways.

All versions of the deck allow you to upgrade the SSD. There's actually a lot more vendors selling 2230 nvme drives now. I'd recommend staying away from SABRENT Rocket since their support is nonexistent and they also have a high failure rate. The Corsair MP600 mini and Micron 2400 is a better option.

Soul Sacrifice had a system where you had to pick between 3 types of stats to build around which affects which spells you could use. After each mission you would have to pick between saving someone or sacrificing them which affects your stats.

If you chose power, you end up becoming a glass cannon with spells that drain your own hp
if you chose def, you end up with spells that supported you and the higher your hp the more damage you did. The trade off is your damage is mostly low.
if you chose neutral then you were pretty balanced.

All of these were affected also by the factions you were part of and which spells you have access to.

just gotta understand if u do get battlebit, itll only work until the next major patch when they implement faceit anti cheat

It's only if they opt in and also only if you're ok with not being able to save or keep your progress.
