Tried Tokon, it’s an auto combo and projectiles spamming fest. But looks absolutely gorgeous.

The netplay patch wasn't even made by that person you kneejerk moron.  It was made by a Jap dev and only works on the JP version of the game.

Well I've learned one new thing at least.  Seems the training mode input overlay is the source of a dramatic fps reduction.  That might be a clue to what kind of effects Wine is having such a hard time rendering (transparency/compositing effects?).

Also I guess #Reload is a DirectX v8.1 game.  That means it might be worth trying one of those APIs that converts dx8 calls to dx9 calls to improve performance.

>The point of modern games is online
That's why modern games suck.

>>313723
DXVK supports DX8 these days.

>caring about footballs
LMAO

I live in a subhuman country obsessed with soccer, and now that the world cup is over I'm glad I don't have to hear those monkeys orgasmically screeching from outside my window while they're watching together a livestream of sweaty niggers playing with balls...

i suck at football games
we should have done an icup to compete with the world cup

>>313834 (OP) 
Football (the world cup especially) is also like propaganda.
Niggers playing in nations they aren't African.
Fuck that shit, and fuck OP for such a shit thread.

We've been over this already. It has been scientifically proven that your photorealistic 3DCG stuff isn't real loli; it's in the ranks of western garbage like Onanism and UAB.

There's a long standing theory from when CC launched that it was probably sabotaged to make FF9 look like a better game in comparison  since they were both being developed and launched around the same time.

>>313221
What, internal office politics or something? I have a hard time believing that theory because it wouldn't be in Squeenix's interests to make one of their own products flop. I think it's more likely that Chrono Cross shifted into a kitchensink design owing to poor communication and management and that the Chrono Trigger tie-in was really an attempt to salvage a selling point for the product.

>>307848
I wonder if she'll be in FFV13. Some of the stuff about that character doesn't really translate though. Japanese language has a certain polite phrasing and somewhat indirect way of speaking that's practically inherent to it, and this girl has super direct and blunt speech.

>>307964
Art style, combat system, and translation were all ass. And I don't mean the translation was "woke" or shit. It was just generally unnecessarily bad. You had the kind of retards who compulsively "localize" dialogue doing translations and changing up English loanwords that were used in the original Japanese in favor of stuff that actually sounds worse in English. There are a bunch of mods to fix translation and art style.

Use Restoration of Mana mod to unfuck the translation: https://www.nexusmods.com/trialsofmana/mods/179?tab=description

There is also Classic Trials Reshade to try to unfuck the lighting: https://www.nexusmods.com/trialsofmana/mods/15

Maybe some other mods would help too, not sure.

>>308549
I think some of these guys

>>313407
You have no idea how retarded upper management can be in a company. It's common that one will sabotague another to make themselves look better even if it objectively harms the company as a whole.

>>307809 (OP) 
Well, I think Verum Rex's point was also to force Squeenix to not be able to bury Nomura's project. He forced it into the public eye and by doing so forced Squeenix to contend with continuing demand for his game with his vision. It's closer to an activist pressure tactic imo.

>>307840
Dude, FFV13 is Nomura's pet project he pours his heart into. I don't think it's going to be a fanservice kind of game. It might have moment, but what you're asking is dumb and I don't think FF has ever been that kind of series. You should be looking elsewhere than FF for Japanese fanservice games. 

>>313545
Do you have like any evidence of that being the case though?

I'm not saying the toon shaded image lacking in any fine detail is too big (both the website and the browser autoscale images) but that using PNG for it is terminally autistic

>going for used goods
Go right ahead.

Yes but will anyone woman or man ever love you?

>>311342
Did something force them to do this or are they just this cool?

>>311372
I asked them politely in an e-mail because I wanted them to preserve the game and then the community could fix the bugs, add features like join in progress, and gave them an example of how to open source it and also mentioned how beneficial open sourcing Doom was. So on. They told me they read my e-mail, but never gave me another response, so I forgot all about it.

Nintendo patent tied to Palworld lawsuit stays rejected as JPO shuts down objections in unusually sharp-tongued notice
https://web.archive.org/web/20260722154833/https://automaton-media.com/en/news/nintendo-patent-central-to-palworld-lawsuit-stays-rejected-as-jpo-shuts-down-objections-in-unusually-sharp-tongued-notice/
>Last week, Japan’s Patent Office (hereafter JPO) published a notice of rejection of Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s divisional patent application No. 2026-019762. Describing an “in-game monster-capturing system,” this patent application is closely tied to the ongoing legal dispute with Palworld developer Pocketpair, so it comes as no surprise that the rejection has attracted attention.  
>But curiously, Japanese users have pointed out the uncharacteristically scalding language JPO’s examiner used in addressing the counterarguments from Nintendo’s side, with people amusedly posting their “favorite quotes” from the legal back-and-forth. Industry professionals like Japanese patent attorney Kiyoshi Kurihara have likewise commented that both Nintendo’s objections and the examiner’s written response con

>>313582
>Another part of the notice that has been causing amusement among Japanese users is the examiner’s apparent annoyance with Nintendo’s pedantry over how the unofficial game and its content was referred to in the reasons for rejection. In its counterarguments, the company stated, “Ash, Pikachu, and Poké Ball should properly be referred to as “a character infringing upon Ash,” “a character infringing upon Pikachu,” and “a character infringing upon Poké Balls,” respectively.” 
>In response, the examiner says, “If it were impermissible for the reasons for rejection to refer to character names, then even at the cost of being redundant, accuracy should take precedence. In that case, the notice would need to use cumbersome descriptions such as ‘an object in the form of a small animal’ instead of Pokémon, ‘an object in the form of a boy wearing a red cap’ instead of Ash, ‘an object in the form of a small yellow animal’ instead of Pikachu, ‘an object in the form of a small green animal’ instead of Bulbasaur, and ‘a spherical object with a red upper half and a white lower half’ instead of Poké Ball. However, even with such rephrasing, the logical structure of the grounds for refusal remains unchanged. Therefore, this argument has no bearing on determining inventive step.” 
I fucking hate lawyer speak so much, good on the patent office for telling

Try doing regular meditation. It helps with emotional self-control.

i keep picking up new-to-me games and saying "i'll play this later, when i get my mental illness under control and stop feeling like shit long enough to focus on something rad" and then i don't so i don't play them and now i have at least a dozen games that i genuinely think are up my alley but that i do not think i am mentally capable of enjoying at this point in time
Yes I WANT to play them but I am never in the MOOD to play them

>>300660
So... Did you quit smoking? 

>>313586
Either force yourself out of the funk long enough to pick up a game (or any activity) or talk to a therapist about it. This isn't healthy.

>>313586
yeah >>313589 is right but I emphasize with you. I'm in the same trap. I have been forcing myself to play stuff however. It'll get better, play them so their charm is the thing to change your mood. You'll then find yourself coming back naturally.

>>311582
I haven't played out in a while but that's what i liked about elona+. You had all these abilities and actions to mess around with.

>>311582
The auto button handles battles better than I do in 9 out of 10 cases.

>>311582
>Weighty
It's a turn based rogue like adjacent game how the fuck would you make the combat in this "weighty"?

>>311619
The same way games like Brogue or Sil-Q do it: making positioning, resource management, distance and damage calculations, etc. matter enough for you to have to think about them during each encounter even when you are powerful. When I last played Elin, the combat was so basic, and you could breeze through encounters once you had enough items. Braindead.

OP here, just dropping into this thread again to remind everyone (including myself) that it's almost that time of the year again:
July 24 is just around the corner!
Time to prepare for my annual Bard-killing spree on Party Day, a.k.a. Baby Day.

I've been grinding a bit for the past few days in preparation for the event.
Mining is an easy way to get XP, gems and money at the same time (if a bit tedious). My MC's stomach mutation ensures that he's never in danger of starving while mining (or any other sort of grinding, for that matter), but it's still important to have tons of food on hand for the benefits of raising everyone's Potential, and gaining seeds (which my Cute Fairy ally produces as regularly as he eats).
Thankfully, my large home collection of fruit trees (which I've accumulated mostly from city quest instances, as explained in >>298491 ) ensures that I'm never short on food.

P.S.
One of the most important things to do in preparation for "Baby Day" is to safely store most of your gold at home (that's where the "kitty bank" items come in handy), because Bards have the ability to suck out whatever gold you have on hand.
