I'll also add The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC. I know there's a remake coming out next year, but there's a bunch of shady stuff surrounding how they're gonna localize it. (Supposedly, they're gonna use AI to try to do most of it and then have real people brush it up.)

So I'd recommend playing the original instead. It's a 2.5D game with a mostly 360° camera. It uses turn-based combat, but not traditional turn-based combat. And it has a great story.

It's also on sale for only US$9.99 on GOG (which is DRM-free) and Steam.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

Do not go in knowing anything.

The most I will tell you is that it's an adventure game with some minor tower defense elements. And that it is the best game I've ever played, and no game has ever topped it since.

I can't remember the last time I got a DLL error on my Windows laptop, honestly. I don't think that's ever happened on my current computer.

Did you make sure you have several GBs of free memory on the device while patching? At least until recently, ReVanced Manager would throw an error if it ran out of memory, and it actually needed (if I recall correctly) around 8 GB of free memory in order to finish the patching process or it'd throw one of several errors, depending on where in the process it ran out of memory.

Supposedly they've fixed this issue with the latest update to ReVanced Manager, which included a new patching process, but I haven't had a chance to test it.

Edit: Also, did you use the default patch selections? While there are other patches available to select and deselect, using anything other than the default selections can sometimes make things a little unstable. I once ran into an issue with patching, and the solution was just... reset the patch selection to just use the default patches. And it suddenly worked.

Did you make sure to turn on the "GmsCore Support" patch? (I think it used to be called "MicroG Support".) You have to enable that patch on unrooted devices in order for the app to work.

There's an add-on to help find the people you followed on Twitter on Bluesky, FYI.

I've had the odd stability issue every now and then. (There was one ongoing issue with my wifi that was caused by a bug in my manufacturer's driver, but that was years ago on Windows 10, and they eventually fixed it.) But I honestly haven't had any issues caused specifically by Microsoft recently that I can recall.

Any problems caused by major features updates are usually solved by simply reinstalling the driver. (And I haven't had any of those sorts of problems in at least a couple years.)

OP didn't mention games that have Denuvo in them. They simply mentioned pre-ordering games.

And before anyone says this is a post about Denuvo, OP's comment was phrased in such a way that it could sound like, "Why would anyone pre-order games in the first place in 2024, regardless of whether or not it has Denuvo?"

I said I hardly ever buy PC games.

If I'm interested in a PC-only game, I check GOG first, then I check Steam. I will rarely ever pre-order a PC game.

Edit: Also, I appreciate the (probably unintentional) Attack on Titan reference.

ten years at least.

If you haven't seen the show, don't look it up. It's a spoiler.

Honestly, if I can, I always get physical. If I buy a digital copy, there's no guarantee that the store I bought it from won't take it back or something like that.
