QTDDTOT - Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread This is the thread for threads that don't really deserve their own thread but are interesting enough to keep on /v/. Think of it as inbetween /v/ and /vb/ as you will.

Why are there few games about the Mongol Empire? Anonymous 04/24/2025 (Thu) 03:34:14 Id: d5ddb9 No. 1236110 [Reply]
It's a cool and excellent setting due to the epic diversity of conquest that the Mongols have done. >Unite nomadic tribes to form the Khan. >Defeat Chinese Dynasties that have advanced technology and gunpower weapons. >Utterly destroy Islamic Civilization. >Rampage Russia, Poland and Hungary. >Fight the Egyptian Mamluks. >Fight Japanese Samurai. >Fight against Koreans,Vietnamese, Koreans and Indonesians. >Fight each other through civil wars using their main military and the local troops. But somehow very few games scratch the surface of how epic actual history is.

>>1309622 >Chinks will make a lot of Turko-Mongol content but they will cast everyone as chinese because whenever a region of china got taken over by horse riders they would become "chinese" by marrying someone from a local dynasty and settling down to rule over their new subjects and it's part of chinese larp to try and use that to act like they won those battles. To be completely fair China is very good as assimilating invaders into becoming Chinese. The basic pattern seems to be >attack China >conquer China >rule China >become China
>>1309227 >creamapi I read it as "creampai" and yes, Genghis Khan most likely did a lot of that when you think about it.

>>1711034 You mean downloading various intermediate ISOs and trying to in-place upgrade to them first? I suppose that might work. DISM and SFC return 100% good. I've repeatedly deleted the cached downloads files and forced it to redownload. I've repeatedly relaunched (and restarted) the Windows Update service. I haven't tried to see if the motherboard needs a BIOS update yet (why the fuck does this matter). I have no idea how to see whether or not any "UWP apps" are installed, nor how to delete them. Zero of the attached device drivers are throwing errors.

Postal 2: Redux Anonymous 08/13/2025 (Wed) 03:36:52 Id: cee336 No. 1652859 [Reply]
Welp, they're officially remaking Postal 2 https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/postal2redux/postal-2-redux >as of this post, $170,560 pledged of $250,000 goal >It's finally time to relive a week in the life of The POSTAL Dude, a hapless everyman just trying to check off some chores. POSTAL 2 Redux is a ground-up revival of the filthiest sandbox on Earth: sharper, louder, bloodier, and finally arriving on modern consoles. If you wanted tasteful restraint, you backed the wrong campaign. Same POSTAL. New engine. Zero apologies. <What's New >A modern backbone. We’re hauling POSTAL 2 into Unity so it runs perfectly on modern hardware. This gives us the ability to have completely scalable requirements. Basically, for every platform this comes to it will look as good as it can for the hardware. >Loading Zones, begone! Paradise streams in as you walk. No more load screens. Just roam and ruin. >A complete graphical upgrade. Higher‑resolution textures, upgraded shaders and materials and lighting make every billboard, back alley, and biohazard pop. >Guns with bite. Balancing the combat based on community feedback. Weapons are being rebuilt to hit harder, punch through flesh, and send bodies flopping with proper ragdolls. You’ll feel the boom. >Check out my insides. Shipping malls, restaurants, offices, arcades—stuffed with destructible props. Let loose and see the World explode in front of your eyes. >Crowds that find trouble faster. Civilians still snitch and cops still overreact, but smarter pathing means they get to the chaos quicker and make it messier when they do. >Champ gets promoted from mascot to menace. Pet him, point him, weaponize him. Man’s best friend finally acts like it. >Built to break out of the PC cage. Targeting PC and modern consoles so Paradise can spread its disease broadly and legally. >Quality of life, everywhere. Widescreen done right, modern inputs, fewer crashes, smarter UI—the boring necessities so the fun stuff can be loud.

>>1660339 Censorship
>>1660339 The ESRB won't be the problem. Xbox already rejected the first Postal, multiple times apparently (leftmost part of image).
>>1660339 I assume it would release fine in North America, but Europe may be another story due of the usual hijinks of Germany or else. I remember I ended up getting the Japanese version of Dying Light on Switch, when it was on sale in the Eshop (for like 1200 yen iirc), because the port never came out in Europe. There is also a Switch version of Postal Redux but it was removed from the european Eshop merely one month after, probably due of that ending.

>>1707007 >>1707747 >Was Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: Tarazan an actual game? I mean it could be "technically yes, but also no." San Andreas especially has been an endlessly popular game in 2nd/3rd world countries due to being a large sandbox game that can be played on an affordable console that's everywhere. South American countries (especially Brazil iirc but I could be wrong) have hundreds of bootleg mods published as "San Andres [Dragonball/Spider-Man/Breaking Bad/etc.]" where CJ is just swapped with a different model. So it's actually very likely GTA: SA Tarzan is a real game that someone took a picture of in a bodega somewhere in Rio de Janeiro, but it was also probably just San Andreas with a shitty mod pasted over it.

The Legend of Zelda Thread Anonymous 04/30/2025 (Wed) 02:08:41 Id: d42b82 No. 1289101 [Reply] [Last]
Skyward Sword got a lot of things right. When compared to Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, you have to admit that it is as good or better than both. At least I admit it. Seriously though, I actually do prefer SS to both WW and TP. I prefer it in dungeons, music for the most part, combat, gameplay, characters, side quests and a lot more I can't think of at the moment. Of the things I'd fix, I wish there were a way to make the "beneath the Sky" area interconnected since the sequence of finding a statue, going up to the sky, flying to the light beam, selecting where to land and then being able to go can get a bit bothersome. Also I wish taking off on your loftwing from Skyloft were as seamless as you do it when you fly from anywhere else in the sky (probably hardware limitations, but I also wish the HD Remaster would have fixed it). Even still, this one is one of my favorite 3D Zelda games and it always has been.

>>1289101 too bad we now have the tech to actually make skyward sword right. and instead we have... blue link.
>>1703788 He's really more of a turquoise Link, or as I like to call him, Twink.
>>1703788 Skyward Sword with modern tech would work just as well. You still won't feel your sword actually hit things, your real arm will just slide through while your in-game arm will not. I loved Skyward Sword and thought the complaints were silly, because this is the fundamental issue here, and we are nowhere close to solving it. I don't think people would want it to actually be solved. Something that could actually make it feel like you were hitting things with a sword could hurt people. Smash a sword into a rock and you'll probably hurt your arm.

Luanti thread Anonymous 12/13/2024 (Fri) 18:40:45 Id: a1d2d0 No. 1050353 [Reply] [Last]
I'm afraid to make a Luanti thread because the game is much better than Minecraft. It's the definitive block building video game. (popularity is not a measure of quality). I'm afraid to make a thread and advertise it's existence for fear of it becoming too popular (normalfags ruin everything). I'm going to make 1 thread about it (per imageboard) and that's it because the userbase is a bit TOO small for my taste and this game could use a bit more players. >How is Luanti better than Minecraft -it is a self contained and simple application. The audio always works, the game always runs reliably. -simple and intuitive Linux and Windows support -it is a convenient platform for mods. This is a big deal. Mods are a 1 click install. There's been times where I didn't like something about the base game so I immediately went and downloaded a mod and the problem was fixed in 5 minutes. -Open source for maximum customizability -every aspect of this game is free as in costs no money. -no corporate faggotry overlordom from micro$oft -Online play is simple and intuitive

Since the last Digimon thread was still getting regular posts even after being past bump limit for weeks and a release date for Time Stranger probably coming any day now, I thought I'd make a new thread.

Anon's Bizarre Adventure AKA /v/ makes an RPG maker game - New people edition Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 16:43:21 Id: 7936db No. 1098234 [Reply] [Last]
Seeing that we have an influx of new users, I thought it is a good idea to bring back this project. (I copied an old OP by one of the anons so I hope they don't mind) For those that don't know, here’s how it works. Everyone is taking turns downloading the newest version of the game, making contributions before reuploading it for someone else to work on it. Only one person can actively work on it at a time. This is because if two people make overlapping changes to the database, scripts or switches, they will conflict resulting in one person having to redo all their work. Changes to the map and events can be copy-pasted from one version of a project to another so you’re free to work on new maps and new events if its not your turn and add them to the current version of the game once it is your turn. It should work like this. OP posts newest version of the map. The first person (Anon #1) to respond to OP stating that he’s going to work on it becomes the active game dev. Once Anon #1 finishes and re-uploads it, the first person to respond to him gets to work on it. So on and so forth. Additionally, whenever you re-upload a new version, reply to the anchor post, it’ll make things a lot easier. General Rules >Don’t mess with maps, events or anything else you didn’t make. Although, adding minor stuff like a connection between two areas or fixing bugs and typos is all fine. >If you’re ok with others editing your stuff, leave a note saying so. >You’re free to add characters and the like, to the inter-dimensional tavern. >You’re also free to make changes to game settings, unless its something we’ve agreed upon (we’ll probably do this via a poll) Current version of the game: v. 0591 https://mega.nz/file/itd1mCTJ#pgEQ3oQQWOgDCO_VLZGs8m1p_OQABjTj8tZ4YNobvlo If you have a new version please notify us so that we can add it in the next OP.
