Dawn of the Final Day | Dropped Frames Episode 385

Quick uploads are the best uploads. Thanks

Content Warning's issue is pacing. Lethal company does a really good job of having good interactivity with he world and the monsters, but in this game the enemy balance is off in the sense where either control is taken from you, or its not possible to escape. It just leads to less moments where trying to flee can snowball into more hilarity like it does in lethal company, and also the horror aspect is much more limited because enemies feel more like a gimmick than a threat and so the deaths just fall flat.

Can confirm. Nervous wreck laddering SC2. Team games are SO much fun though. Felt like there was no real pressure to win or lose. Just fun with friends. That said, I love 1v1 games. The tough part about 1v1 games is often the learning curve. You get matched against another player who is much better, you get crushed and learn nothing. Repeat. Or you win, and also learn nothing. I think what was a godsend for me over the years is having one friend around my skill level to consistently match up against, or practice with. We'd learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and become much better over time as a result. I had basically no background on Witcher before watching the series, and I think this was the best way to watch it. Everyone I talked to who knew the story beforehand was upset about how they changed it. Putting in MTX post launch should be illegal. It's SO predatory and manipulative. They won't stop doing it until they genuinely believe that the MTX is a net loss profit. But from what I know about MTX in games, it's never even close. MTX makes so much money. I don't really mind MTX provided that they are non-intrusive, and the game isn't otherwise worse for having them. ie: Game design changes to promote them. Cohh is right about Stardew not really having things you can miss. And I laughed so hard when JP actually sang that song.

Mispronouncing words: I might politely correct someone if they mispronounce a word, but it should never be a point of shame, because if they know the word yet can't pronounce it correctly, it's a STRONG indicator that they learned the word from READING, which is fantastic.

When I did my corrective eye surgery, 20 years ago, I was told that one in about 10,000 has complications that can be easily corrected, and one in a million has some form of permanent damage.

I had transition lens glasses when I was in elementary school in the very early 2000s and it is interesting to see they are still having the same issues 23 years later.

My transition glasses barely take like 5 mins to clear up from outside.

Man in the High Castle is amazing, one of my favorite shows by far need to watch it again

The biggest gaming mascot thing is UK specific btw and its 100% accurate. If it was done 15 years ago or older Crash would have been 1. It will vary with every region and country, like Terry would be top 10 in South America. Stuff like that. Nintendo only got mega popular again with the Switch here, it broke off completely since N64. Wii was all Wii Sports here and Guitar Hero etc. Gamecube was not popular, Wii U was non existent. Also if Fortnite had a more prominent main character they would be top and with CoD people only remember Ghost. If it was a greater span though Lara would be 2 and Crash would be 1.

Some valuable life lessons in this episode. Like don’t buy your eclipse shades at the mall kiosk next to the Penis Pagoda.

Unsure how to request guests, but AdamVrsEverything would be an interesting interview with the new RimWorld DLC. I think he also has a back ground in competitive Starcraft. Love the show, thanks.

As an old man getting older, I appreciate not doing it alone. Thank god for this podcast.

I've been wearing transition glasses for last... 10 years... maybe 1 or two year longer. They do not switch instantly, thats true - but they usually clear out enough in max 15 minutes that its never been an issue for me.

Cohh's doctor would have scared me away from that surgery. The level of that conversation would have made me wonder if this dude doubted his own ability.

I think there is something wrong with cohh's glasses I had some about 10 years or so ago and loved them. they changed almost immediately I loved them to death. Got mine at Baymeadows Vision Center off Phillips and Baymeadows in jacksonville fl, paid about $800 or so (also got scratch resistance and polarization on them) for the things so kind of expected them to work and work good.

I'm pretty sure part of the delay in Stellar Blade is the start up frames to block. It takes forever to block... which I could see confusing people into thinking there's input delay. Really, it just takes her a decade to raise her sword up to block.

Witcher 4 needs to do more on the combat side of things but if they can somehow make the narrative as satisfying then im all for it.

It’s JP’s reaction to the but at 2:09:57 LMFAAAOOOOO

Capcom probably made more money from the microtransactions than they would've made in all the lost sales opportunities. Best to put those in right when the game is released in order to capitalize on the initial player spike.

Not going to lie... Zekk with glasses looks like Bobby from Supernatural when going undercover.
