It's shit.
Bravo Valve for taking the worst parts of DOTA, mixing it with some TF2, then slapping an unlicensed version of Hellboy over the top, then using shitty MMR to finish the shitcake.

Probably never did at that time. I used to be a RIki mono-picker and they had a function where you could write the hero name on the keyboard and it would send the wheel flying directly to the character you wanted.
That function is still in the game though, but it highlights the heroes in the grid.

I could be wrong, but I think you can type aliases too (Furion for Nature's Prophet for example, or SF for Shadow Fiend). Haven't played in years because it's too taxing on my sanity.
So, is it fun?

Talk about some proper nippon Visual Novels! Whether you're playing one right now or a novel you've already completed.
No fucking english parody shit allowed!

>Eiyuu Senki
I dont know how but it took me 116 hours to beat it. I only skipped the optional dungeon. Let me just tell you that it was a long fucking week of suffering playing that game. Just nonstop talking from the characters in different scenes and just when you think it will stop it just keeps going. Then you go into battle again and then you're in for a long fucking talking session again. Rinse and repeat for the whole fucking game. Theres like maybe 6 or so sex scenes (probably more it was like 2 years ago i beat it) and to even get a sex scene you need to conquer someone and that means a fuckton of battles and a fuckton of talking. I spent a week straight just fucking playing this shit and by the end of it i was pretty much mindbroken by how long and shitty it was. A week of nonstop fapping/sweating/boredom and just waiting for it to end. Another thing that bothered me was their faces. If you look at the cover art you can see how the faces are designed. Their chins are like triangely and pointy and it makes the characters look retarded. Look at this screencap i took from one of the faces in the cover. It looks like she has downs syndrome! So theres that. I dont know wha

(Reposting with some alterations because Cantabiles have been expelled from Sleepychan, apparently:)
I'm glad to announce that it's almost time for the 2024 UT summer stream. Can you believe that anons started the tradition of streaming a horrendously bad RPG maker game by a tumblrite, 9 years ago!? Here's hoping we make it to at least another year! This is only the current host's (Not!Alto_Cantabile) second time streaming so please be patient with him as he is still learning. I'm really looking forward to it, and I hope to see you there. Thank you anons, and all the previous streamfags for making all this possible.
START TIME: AUGUST 3RD AT 3pm CDT/1pm PST/9pm for Britbongs/10pm for the rest of Europe
Stream Link: https://cytu.be/r/uncommontime
TENTATIVE SCHEDULE
Aug 3rd: Nuclear.
Aug 4th - Aug 6th: Finish the vanilla UT content.
Aug 7th: CODA and Duet. Will probably also start Predecessors on the same day.
Aug 8th - Aug 9th: Finish Predecessors, and start Retuned.
Aug 10th - Aug 11th: Finish Retuned and if we have time I'll play Sullen Boku Girls Alliance, but I don't know if I'll complete all of it.
This schedule is subject to change based on how quickly Not!Alto can complete the game.
Questions you might have.
>How long will the stream last?
Not!Alto will try to stream for 5-6 hours. This will give our europoors a chance to see the stream without staying up too late. There will not be streaming for 8 to 10 hours like last time.
>Will the stream be recorded by the host?

Are >we talking about Autism or >Autism ITT?

Regardless I played though Klonoa 2 and I have to say the game is absolutely baller, perhaps the peak in terms of early PS2 aesthetics carried solely by artistic competence and low-res yet delightfully colorful texturework with no post-processing >filters whatsoever.
Combined with a draw distance that makes competing games of the time look like niggers and a really nice flow of gameplay that just werks this is one gaym any cultured imageboard user ought to have played at least once, moreso with a widescreen patch applied as it makes the stages look even more gorgeous with almost no rendering mishaps outside a few cutscenes.

Discuss emulation-related things here.

NEWS

>ユデア天堂 shoahs Ryujinx not through lawsuits but by buying out/threatening the main developer to quit and delete fucking everything.
>However, no DMCAs were filed against the source code unlike Jewzu and none of the contributors were banned nor were any forks taken down, so the emergence of a successor-fork is only a matter of time unless 任天堂 feels like resuming the endless game of DMCA-mole or buying more slaves across the wider emu community.
>The unthinkable has happened and Bloodborne has become playable on PC in less than a month after it first went ingame using shadPS4, a few dozen other games have gone ingame since then.
>Of note is that the emulator requires FSGSBASE instructions necessitating an Intel Ivy bridge or first generation AMD Zen CPU at minimum.
>With Xbox one game encryption having been successfully cracked, various Xboner wrappers soon emerged so people can finally play the vast library of fantastic Xbox wan exclusives beyond the clutches of Microsoft even though none of them run Lunix yet. XWine1 and WinDurango are the most prominent at the moment, with XWine1 capable of playing Minecrap to some degree.
>RPCS3 wires up online multiplayer emulation for a variety of games including Armored Core for Answer.
>MAME devs cook up Nuked-SC55 for emulating the Roland SC-55 Midi synth for all your obscure Nipponese エロゲ and/or Doom needs.
>Dolphin switches to new release model, now instead of one (1) "stable" release every 10 years they'll publish a new "stable" release every 6 months which should make organizing netplay gamenights somewhat easier.
>PCSX2 officially releases 2.0 as stable feat. playable hardware mode Ace Combat 04, but it doesn't seem they intend to change their current release "schedule".
>Parallel-gs makes steady progress, no ETA on an official merge with mainline PCSX2 yet.
>Stenzek incurs a predictable soy/HRT(?)-induced meltdown over users of ebul Duckstation forks sometimes making erroneous bug reports on mainline along with emotional damage incurred from the toxic emu community or some shit so he changed the loicense to prevent anti-semites from redistributing custom forks+builds of HIS sacred code!!11...anything prior to the license change is fair game though and Mednafen still exists, as do existing Duckstation forks.

>Those are basically AR codes for 60FPS, widescreen, disabling interlacing and so on. That's fine to have as part of your emulator if your goal is to be retard-friendly.
No shit, Sherlock. It's not like it says it right there in the screenshot or anything. The reason I posted it was that it's been done it in the most retarded way imaginable, possibly surpassing yanderedevcode.png: 5.8k lines of hardcoded pnach patch strings and if/else statements (with hardcoded string comparisons of course).
>My point still stands that PCSX2 is full of disgusting game-specific hacks that should have been thrown in the garbage 10 years ago: https://github.com/libretro/LRPS2/blob/main/resources/GameIndex.yaml
No one was talking about that. I'm well aware of them, once had a 'tism throwdown with an anon claiming they removed all the game specific hacks when what they'd really done was moved the hacks out of the source and into the GameIndex (an improvement to be sure but hack free it ain't).

I see. That part pretty much blew past me because it's libretro, so I assumed it was written in a stupid way because RetroArch is stupid and wouldn't work with the proper method of loading that shit from a bundled file. Even given that the patching code is copied every time instead of being an easily-optimized-away function (and not using for-with-declaration, and storing the patches in a char*[] only to cast them to string one statement later) is truly CS grad tier.
>hardcoded string comparisons
Acceptable considering the serial number is effectively an immutable token that will never change for licensed games. If your bullshit hack changes the serial for some reason I'm sure you're also smart enough to disable interlacing yourself.

Back when LRPS2 went by the name of pcsx2-libretro it had a GameDB.txt that was supposed to be shoved into the core itself when compiling but it was a frequent cause of build fails and required some niggerlicious manual code adjustments to properly finish a build.
Glad to see the wise and respectable Libretro team is taking the reasonable option of baking the GameDB and all of its hacks into the C++ code itself, imagine the horror of extending the Libretro specification in ways that don't revolve around AI services or ports to Chinese handhelds!
Speaking of PCSX2, there's highly anticipated pull request undergoing testing said to accurately emulate the PS2's non-IEEE 754 FPU in software.
This supposedly fixes shitloads of decades-old issues of varying severity and obsoletes a number of hacks/clamping workarounds in the GameDB, has anyone here with a real PS2 to compare against tried it out?
