Dawn of the Final Day | Dropped Frames Episode 385

[@shadow12k]

Quick uploads are the best uploads. Thanks

[@terakahn]

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.

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.

[@SabreRunner]

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.

[@TaiyelKynoska]

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.

[@depracated]

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

[@sumireravenclaw8034]

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

[@evidicus]

If mine even take 5 minutes, it’s rare

[@evidicus]

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

[@TheEregos]

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.

[@Murderbits]

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.

[@Greymankle]

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.

[@MrElrood]

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.

[@sinisin2000]

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.

[@reshypoo9447]

Doc was so proud, his first successful surgery.

[@Talezi1]

doc was so happy to sell pair of bullshit for only 1999$

[@mysticmoose6123]

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.

[@Mauvias92]

I actually did some research when I heard cohh talk about his, and apparently, the temperature around you can cause them to darken or clear up at different rates

[@ffbotha]

I think the issue may be that the lenses can't be polarised, which I've found makes a significantly biggest difference compared with just having darkened lenses. It's the main reason I no longer use them and just have a pair of prescription sunnies instead. I've even found driving at night to sometimes be better with the sunnies due to how much they help with headlight glare.

[@bagofseat]

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.

[@Mauvias92]

I also felt that as well, but the delay also felt better on performance mode, the upgrade that makes it easier to parry also helped

[@moganza]

Reminds me of Sekiro

[@dsagent]

1. It is always nice to see an upload with a table of contents. 2. The Eclipse has happened many times in the past and it is not a big deal. I don't know why there are so many conspiracy theories and end of world stuff popping into social media about it. Regular Celestial Event. 3. I'm also still playing BG3 doing dark urge, all "evil" decisions. Taking breaks so I don't really get tired of the game. 4. Stellar Blade PC release when??

[@spwolftech]

I agree that its a regular celestial event.. but people are people. The U.S. has had 15 total or partial solar eclipses since 1900 seen over land, and in every year it has happened upto and including 1979 there has been a group or event that has proclaimed the end of the world large enough to have been notated in the national news (took about 7 min of googling to find that.)

[@Lewa500]

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.

[@seriouslycasualcore]

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

[@Zuthi2011]

Was just about to write this exact comment

[@richardhammock5363]

What if my Roku TV isn't connected to the Internet when I'm gaming?

[@LtSMASH324]

They can control whether or not you can access the HDMI, basically requiring you to connect to the Internet to gain access.

[@Resurrection824]

As someone who has no interest in playing Helldivers (the game just isn't for me), I will admit that they are ABSOLUTELY killing it I wish companies would take note of the interaction they have and try to take a page out of that book. Even when it comes to the CEO and their twitter posts. They are doing PR right. I am glad they are doing well!

[@voidshaman3580]

Personally I think that if there were no microtransactions in Dragon's Dogma 2, the amount of sales at the time of announcement would have gone from 2.5 million to 2.5 million.

[@mysticmoose6123]

Your also talking BAFTA awards which is a British award. If it was an American award i'd agree.

[@exfaux]

1:57:09 - "it comes in threes" same.

[@25xxfrostxx]

I refunded DD2 because of performance. I have a high end system and my frame rate fluctuated up and down from 40 to 85 fps at random everywhere. It made it feel terrible.

[@Justin-ee1mv]

2:52:56 Let’s go FMV Classic Harvester Pog

[@anywhere_but_here]

One of my favourite games ever

[@ronin3025]

Transitions can be made with lower pigment density

[@kennethgilbert6658]

Hey JP is there going to be more drop game for lethal company? Seems it has added a lot to it. Also is there any merch available for DF?

[@evidicus]

The thing no one talks about with the MTX of Dragons Dogma 2 is that it might have been a way to push more Deluxe Editions and not the actual MTX. The MTX in this game are an idiot tax. Most of them are bundled in the DE for less cost and most are things you can easily get in game. And Deluxe Editions don’t carry the same stigma as MTX (for whatever reason). I wonder how many more DEs they sold based on this value positioning compared to the MTX.

[@crimsonpassione3422]

Hmm, it can we get a suckerpunch the movie spoilercast with how much they love bioshock infinite and Ken Levine story telling.

[@Setliin]

'' I don't like you saying it'' is a new bad for a name lol

[@karatefylla]

2 x ko = koko puffs

[@Mauvias92]

I'm mad I didn't think of this sooner😂

[@clawhammr666]

Yay!

[@Jeromes-In-Da-House]

Street Fighter 6 World Tour mode was poorly optimized as well. Same issue of npcs loading in real close, frame drops etc. And the mtx for SF6 are worse. $20 for a Avatar skin.

[@sykode]

I got lawyers.... reminds me of last week when they talked about coh vs the poors/

[@trillian-g]

show starts at 0:33

[@Justin-ee1mv]

2:52:46 My summer car Pog Finnish experience

[@MegaRamster]

After watching this, makes me really not want to play Dogma 2. This game seems like you need massive research or a chat(in their case) to really enjoy the game itself.

[@Choteron3]

Arthur Morgan for RDR 2 is a brillant protagonist. A shame that cohh played that game with 0 interest (rushing the story, not exploring, barely doing side content). He should replay it.

[@georgeontherocks660]

Zeke with glases looks like the kind of person to ask for breakfast at the burger place, three minutes past the time they stop serving breakfast, so Sheila there has to call the manager, and so there is a full on kerfuffle cause they can't understand that the customer is always right.

[@Euphamia]

this turned in to the old man podcast years ago

[@nicholasg.5441]

Todays video games topic: eyes and balls xD

[@WickedDraco]

Rocket league is very big in the Middle/High school level ESports leagues.

[@Nosmaclear]

-Anyone who altered their rent plans because of a small alteration in the path of a shadow is some combination of fool and lazy. Being just within the path of totality only gives you a 45-second eclipse. Why wouldn't one just drive further into the path of totality when the time comes, to get the 3-minute version? I find it difficult to believe that anyone actually changed their rental plans, and if they did they deserve to lose that money. I'm guessing these are false claims made online.

[@spicydeath82]

Goat simulator skipped the second game and went straight for the third. So there's goat simulator 1 and 3 but no 2. 😂

[@kylesutton274]

JP amd Cohh showing their age with that weed reaction 😂😂😂

[@Dopesaur]

Which is funny, because I think Zeke is older than both of them :P

[@Justin-ee1mv]

[@HyperLethalHunk]

get them damn screw drivers out your nose boy

[@itmeJP]

Don't tell me what to do!

[@TomPokys]

I really freaking hope the world ends tomorrow because after that cursed Moogle, AI songs from the last week, and the ?radio caller gamer bathwater roleplay? today I really don't want to see what they pull out next time

[@depracated]

Nah there's a ton of game characters more popular, Croft is probably the most popular female lead (until you bring in LoL and stuff like that), but this was just a virtue signal to show how "progressive" they are. I've seen Master Chief, Mario, hell more about Lady Maria from Bloodborne then I have ever seen people talk about Laura Croft.

[@Justin-ee1mv]

Pog

[@1701Rafael]

First? Perhaps

[@videogames9972]

wtf are th ey talking about with bioshock infinite, i skipped all those audio logs, the gameplay was abysmally bad, and the "lore and writing" were what? racism bad? multiverse WOW! ? like.. its been done before, and better. DC has been doing multi verse for like 30+ years

[@Murderbits]

I'll never do eye surgery. First, everyone I know who has had lasics tells me it causes problems with your vision at night. Second, your eyes are kind of important. If the option is "wear glasses" versus "MAYBE temporarily fix your eyesight but MAYBE also permanently damange or lose your eyesight", then I'm gonna take the glasses.

[@Murderbits]

Unfortunately, if ROKU went out of business, the patent portfolio would be considered an asset and would be sold off to someone else. It would not just vanish.

[@Murderbits]

Line of totality? Is there an eclipse or something?

[@kcthonian]

Yes. It went over the USA earlier today. Path went over the southeastern US (Texas) up to the Northeast.

[@madmagician8663]

Don't buy games at launch. It's rarely worth it.

[@tangentkatz]

It's a little funny to listen to the DD2 MTX conversation after the marketing report from the start of the show. I dislike MTX, I'm annoyed that became the conversation around DD2....and I wonder if there are reports showing Capcom that actually none of that is negative for their bottom line.

[@Mauvias92]

At this point, I'm 100% convinced that the only reason the mtx were even in the game was because of some executives saying they had to be put in, none of the mtx in capcoms games make sense otherwise, for the single player games that is. I also would rather they not be there, but if they have to be, I'd rather they be like the ones I dd2 where they are completely pointless

[@oplawlz]

Yeah my transitions take like 3 minutes max to move over, idk what's going on with cohh's

[@nokturnallex2160]

Think Cohh's transitions just aren't great. I got some that can turn pretty dark for sunlight but take less than 5 minutes to swap, colder temps can make it take longer but they're quick for me.

[@Guitarman5705]

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.

[@ActionHank]

I hear a lot of older generation people here in my state say for whatever reason Worshington when its Washington state! Where in God's green earth do they get the O and the R from? LMFAO!!

[@nived3211]

Jesse cox would spent a year and a half releasing 30 mins per week playthroughs.

[@daniellenance2428]

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

[@ericscasny9312]

Once Human just looks like State of Decay 2

[@SabreRunner]

This kind of bullshit reminds me of the original King's Quest games. You could do something that bricks your game completely (like forgetting an item and going beyond a point when you can go back for it) and you wouldn't know until several hours later.

[@foreignuser_]

2:22:20 Another common randomly added letter is 'N' in the word "turret." People will say "turrent." This is such a widespread problem that you can find people on forums complaining about others who do it; I have no idea where the fucking N comes from but it drives me up the wall. It doesn't seem like the people who do it are even capable of correctly pronouncing it.

[@RhapsodyBD]

I tought Cohh just had another kid "recently". So I guess the snip was right after lol And weirdly enough they talked about it in Geekenders as well!

[@mysticmoose6123]

What's wrong with calling it two-ex-K-O? Like they did in the "Year in Preview 2024"

[@ShadowAvatar]

I love Larian, Swen & now their publishing director Michael, Yeah it's a right real fuck up.

[@woozie3241]

noone playing ronin?? i stilll dont know it its good

[@bigbox1431]

60% number came from an industry who ignored Live Service games. Imagine what that number will look like when the industry REALLY starts funding Live Service projects. Next few years are going to be Wild. GAAS just getting started.

[@Kmaitland89]

Man, I don't understand the Shogun hype. It's extremely generic. None of it's set pieces are set up very well, the writing doesn't allow for anything to take it's time. If you listen to the praise you'd think it was the greatest show to ever exist, then you turn it on and it's just generic white guy in Japan BS.

[@golith999]

Cohh's continued support for CyberStunk HAS to be sponsored.

[@Justin-ee1mv]

Infection free zero the top 19 most wishlist game is coming out this month in a couple of days same as Rimworld dlc anomaly as well as later this month the top 1 most wishlisted game on steam is coming out Manor lords Nice can’t wait to see all the players

[@typoko]

[@Justin-ee1mv]

Rare solar eclipse for NA Pag

[@worzoth4728]

im the only one who thinks ezekiel kinda cringe and break the flow of the conversation? would be so much better if was only cohh and JP....maybe even dansgaming, would be awesome too

[@Murderbits]

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