Gamers gate is taking pre orders for Dark Souls - prepare to die edition at $39.95. It's very nice that they aren't charging $60 for this game. Does it make up for the almost certain bad console port? Who knows. I'm still looking forward to this game though, it's just a shame that it comes out on August 24th, one day before GW2's head start.

Dark Souls is out for the pc and there are already people hard at work fixing things for the port:

If you're getting the pc version this is worth checking out. Makes you wonder if just a single dedicated fan can do this in less than 24 hours after the game is released how come the devs couldn't do it themselves in the months since they announced the pc version?

Whatever the case mods are what make pc gaming great and I can't wait to play this game in the next week or two after I get my GW2 fix out of the way.

When I had my 360 I enjoyed the game, almost bought it for PS3 but then heard about the PC version. All the subsequent stories of the bad port killed it for me though. Hopefully, like you say trag3dy, the modders can really make the game what it should be on PC. I just might get it.

Did you get the game already?

Yes it is a quick/bad port but it works.

I am glad they actually listened to fans and released it for PC (with new content). Right from the start From Software have said they don't have much experience with PC development and are struggling. So it was expected that the port wasn't going to be great. I am just hoping a lot of people still buy the game because you have to give them credit for having a go and listening to fans. A lot of publishers don't do that.

Also if people buy the game, it might make them invest more in PC development for future games. I'd love an Armoured Core on the PC.

Glad the mod cleans up the screen a bit but the game is still perfectly playable without. I'd rather have this as it is on the PC than no Dark Souls on the PC.

I am getting annoyed with people invading my game. I was in the depths and quite far in, had loads of humanity, lots of souls. Some guy came in and killed me. So i had to get back down there to retrieve it. Nearly there and i got cursed (no humanity) and died! So i lost all my original souls/humanity!

I know the game is supposed to be hard but i wish i could switch off people invading my game. I don't want to have to block the game with my firewall, just to stop it going online.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
