>>83312Not gaming but there is a new anime adaptation called Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon and it's basically Wizardry with a cooking twist. A party of people keep trying to progress through a mega-dungeon created by an insane wizard and one of the tactics they adopt is to try preparing food using monsters they kill and herbs they collect within the dungeon in order to save inventory space (it doesn't actually use game terminology like a lot of fantasy anime, though, which is preferable) and not have to return to town. I'm almost positive it's based on Wizardry because there was some early art by the creator where she labeled the rough character designs with class names from Wizardry (e.g. the main character is a Lord).
I hadn't read the manga prior to watching it and I was skeptical because it was produced with Netflix money, but it's probably the best "Netflix Original" anime yet. But yeah, the Wizardry games are a trip. The Japanese love that series. I like the one where you play as the original bad guy. It's brutal. I think it was 4. Can't remember. That remake looks pretty good, might have to pick it up on a sale.

>>83316>WizardryI'm enjoying it but I've also party wiped at level 1 like 3 times, it's very punishing with merciless RNG but pretty satisfying as well.
I read Dungeon Meshi in its entirety in about a week shortly after watching the first episode of the anime which I think was a month of so ago. It's honestly the best anime/manga "thing" I've seen in many years, I had pretty low expectations initially but I was consistently entertained.

360 marketplace rolled out the final update to its end-of-service sale, adding a grand total of 0 games to the discounted titles list (speculated that 7 activision titles quietly added at the end of june were meant for July 16th instead). they did bring back some older shirt designs you can buy and the original 360 dashboard (for use on the newer consoles, not the 360 itself lol, lmao).

>>83546yeah, i was being sardonic. they hyped this final update to the sale as some big commemoration to celebrate the 360's life cycle, but it turns out they shit all over everyone who still cares about 360 and just want to push some merch. saw some people saying they plan to just hardmod their console with the money they would've spent on a good sale (there are a few decent things for less than 1USD, but it's pretty much all old capcom stuff that can be played some other way).
i wish i could at least use the blades theme again on 360. i never liked the weird shift to windows phone/windows 8 ui.

Japanese web design: weird, but it works. Here's why
>Japanese website design looks weird. But, they work just as well as other websites around the world. Why is that? I mean, they're information dense, cluttered, and some would even think they were teleported to the 1990s. Turns out, beneath the overwhelming user interface lies undeniable psychology. In this video, I cover why this "weird" design is necessary, why Japan can't just keep things simple, what a "gentle" user experience means, and how all of this impacts us.

>>83564logos now are seen more often in 16px favicon.ico or 32px square/roundel social media avatars which are physically tiny, than printed big somewhere in real life. the less detail the better for those use cases. the closer they fill that 1:1 ratio area the better.
the other thing is just a brag about being such a successful brand that is recognized by the closest thing to a geometric primitive (or merely the quirky name in no name serif), like microsoft logo basically being nothing but a square, they "own" the square shape (ok a combination of 4 of them stacked but whatever), like christians own a crisscross of 2 lines.
so they aim to legibility and objectivity of traffic signs for their signs instead of being a creative mural. they did it in 1920s and 1970s as well..

>>83587All I can think of off the top are the basics (run recovery media and try different things in the command line since the regular tools are worthless, swap hardware out). I remember I was trying to figure out how to fix my damaged boot record for a couple hours because some retarded proprietary formatting tool started formatting the drive I was using it from and most of the information for Windows errors online essentially boils down to clueless idiots saying run sfc and chkdsk and start from a new install if those don't work. I eventually found an article about fixing MBR and it was quickly fixed afterward. It's amazing how the most commercially successful OS has such shit support.

I recommend buying the game and its DLC on sale, forewarning!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1584090/Touhou_Mystias_Izakaya/There is a cute Touhou fangame on Steam called Mystia's Izakaya. You spend daytime collecting and purchasing ingredients, then cook and serve patrons in the evening. The iconic Touhou characters occasionally appear as rare guests with specific preferences for what they like to eat and drink. The one thing I don't like is you can only save at the end of every shift. I'm not very far into it, thoughbeit. It still lends to short play sessions. I'd say a full day only takes 5-10 minutes to play through. Might get more complicated later with multiple locations and a broader selection of dishes to manage. I just remembered the music gets a bit repetitive too. Otherwise, it's a fun game to play in short spurts here and there.

>>83666Kino game, isn't it. It was a good move for the devs to have this focus on teamwork, it's a very non or even anti-toxic game really. A big part of that is how helpful it is, in terms of morale but also simply that you tend to win quicker, when you revive fallen teammates.

>>83667I tried my hardest to keep the guy in the game. He started flaming me and I just said that I already drilled half the aquarq stones down, then the other two players started flaming him and saying he wasn't fulfilling his scout duties. I was trying to mediate between those guys while also trying to trigger the mule for phase 3. I don't care if the one guy was being mean to me for no reason, I know the game is hectic and it's hard to tell what is going on for some players.

rival presence is the worst drg mission type. i even did a bunch of setup as driller but my build was for clearing small robots so all i can really do is toss my c4 from my ceiling hole to get rid of the caretaker's shields then hope for teammates to kill the eye fast enough. i hate doing that mission but it's the first part of the lethal enemies assignment for unlocking haz5+.

>>83737I find the map where you have to set up the pipes to be consistently the most fun. But I get butthurt that the average person makes the most retarded pipe setups, like pipes that are longer than needed (inefficient for several reasons) or pipe paths that don't really come together (it tends to be easier if the pipe paths are in greater proximity).
I just don't find rival presence to be that fun. Though when I play with the guy who mods the game he makes the caretaker gigantic which is pretty funny. Also when you die on it you spin super fast its kinda funny.

>>83751if you play driller, you find that a lot. you also find engineers that don't understand they can make paths to wells that driller can't as easily. something annoying about wells lower than the platform is that it's very easy to dig a tunnel that's just slightly too steep. better just to be safe and drill meandering paths instead of direct routes sometimes. you can also just get terrible well spawns in general (though salvage mission equipment can also spawn in utterly shit spots, especially the second one). otherwise, i don't really hate the mission. i used to hate aquarqs a lot but i kinda like the urgent feeling of it now. sometimes you get neverending enemies on that, though.
escort can be fun and they recently updated it so there is a bit of variety in the phases. i think you still have two bug phases (1 and 3), but now there are three different core phases that will randomly be selected from for phase 2 and 4. the new possible core phase they added is the core targets one player at a time and creates a rock prison around him, expecting teammates to help dig him out before it kills him. the gay shit about escort is finding bonus events like korlok boss (another thing that can spawn in notoriously shitty spots) or core printer ones since bugs spawn more frequently until the heartstone is collected which doesn't give you time to safely do anything else besides collect nitra.
also it is possible to lose a mission if the only person in the escape pod gets pulled out by a stingtail. you don't take damage as far as i recall, but i guess bugs can still fuck with you in other ways.
