[lyric jetty]

DG would win no diff

[surreal hamlet]

Oh no here it comes 😂

[mellow roost]

Doomguy is, as far as I'm aware, canonically faster than Goku.

[upbeat matrix]

Goku doesnt know how to fight he is noob

[surreal hamlet]

Unless goku uses instant transmission, which traverses universes in less than a second

[idle spear]

Doomguy vs Duke Nukem. Doomguy just pushes him over and dead before he can make a stupid joke lol

[wild tulip]

What is that Singaporean movie about football with super powers?

[surreal hamlet]

Problem being its only a technique and not a fighting move

[upbeat matrix]

I hate Duke nukem he is an edgy teenager that never grew up

[mellow roost]

Doomguy has immeasurable speed. Goku has infinite speed.

Remember that scene in that X-Men movie where Quicksilver clears an entire room? Yeah. Doomguy would be Quicksilver, the frozen-in-time guards would be Goku. 😆

[inner arrow]

Nah m8. Gordon isn’t the dude who is killing all of hell. Gordon killed aliens yeah. But he did not kill ||Satan who is basically the Doomguy cause Satan is a manifestation of the biggest evil and that is the doomguy||(Doom Eternal DLC spoiler)

[lyric jetty]

Once you play The Ancient God's Part 2 you'll realise there are very few things that would beat the Doom Slayer

[surreal hamlet]

I can beat Doom Slayer but only if he steals my food, my friend tried that and my slow movement speed became immeasurable

[inner arrow]

I mean… yes but shush lol

[tired hare]

ultra instinct goku can not overpower black frieza it's unlikely he beats doom slayer

[mellow roost]

Doomguy could solo the Warhammer 40k universe, as far as I can figure.

And let me tell you...that is NOT an easy feat. Goku would get wiped by a regular Ork, let alone anything even remotely off the ground in terms of power level in that universe.

[wild tulip]

What about doomguy vs master chief?

[lyric jetty]

Doomguy

[inner arrow]

Goku in Warhammer 40k universe would be funny as hell. He wouldn’t survive 5 minutes

[idle spear]

Master chief I think would win against Nomad and his nanosuit from crysis though.

[surreal hamlet]

What about Gogeta Blue vs Doom Slayer?

[mellow roost]

Although...for that Ork to win, it would have to get really, really, really lucky and HOPE it actually thinks of something remotely intelligent.

[wild tulip]

You hit icky in the heart😁

[inner arrow]

Doom slayer easily

[mellow roost]

Orks are incredibly dumb, but anything they believe comes true. If an Ork believed it could kill Goku...I mean yeah, that's literally it. Game over.

[lyric jetty]

That would be a much fairer fight than Masterchief vs Doomguy

[idle spear]

And then there is BJ from Wolfenstein as well. BJ vs Master chief?

[inner arrow]

Not anything but mostly

[mellow roost]

Well yeah, true.

[wild tulip]

Doomguy vs hunter from Prey

[inner arrow]

That’s a good one. Since BJ is basically… yeah… Masterchief

[lyric jetty]

Yeah BJ is super powerful

Would be a good fight between those two

[inner arrow]

Doomguy. Basically the only thing that can win vs doomguy is a holy divine power. Anything human and or evil will lose

[wild tulip]

Then Michael Meyers would win against Doomguy

[inner arrow]

Like the 4 apocalyptic riders if they are true holy from Darksiders might have a chance for example

[inner arrow]

Doomguy would win instantly. Michael Meyers only got lucky that the ones he fights against are stupid

[wild tulip]

Isn't he like an immortal spirit or smth?

[inner arrow]

Not really.

[mellow roost]

Yes. Doomguy was blessed by the Primeval. He's immortal and his armor is impenetrable.

Not only that, but that same blessing makes him as strong as he needs to be to kill whatever is in front of him.

Basically One Punch Man with a gun.

He uses guns because using his fists would be boring. 😭😂

[tired crescent]

Spawn VS Doomguy would be the ultimate battle

[wild tulip]

Saitama begs to differ😁

[mellow roost]

I think Saitama would probably win against Doomguy simply because of how the character is written.

Maybe Squirrel Girl too, because she's a total cheat of a character as well.

[wild tulip]

Superman vs doomguy then will be epic

Saitama looks like he is always depressed

[mellow roost]

But yeah that's really all I can think of. A good majority of people who have any hope whatsoever of defeating Doomguy have some incredibly cheat-y ability.

Squirrel Girl, for example, can't lose. Just straight up can't lose. I don't know if she's written as "always wins", but I don't really think that matters at that point.

[wild tulip]

Mary Sue then will win against doomguy😁

[mellow roost]

Gordon is cool in his universe. And I like him too. But he is just weaker

I wish valve allows him to talk

We only hear his gun sounds sadly

[inner arrow]

They want people to identify with him

[idle spear]

Kratos vs Doomguy?

Dude took down all the gods more or less

in greek mythology at least

[odd field]

fortnite or apex

[limpid flicker]

Would they be enemies, or would they team up? I feel like Kratos doesn't like demons much more than gods.

[inner arrow]

Doomguy. Kratos is a god. Doomguy killed ||gods and the most evil god which is Satan||

[limpid flicker]

Is Kratos still a god? I know he was...

[cyan plover]

i got gamepass ultimate but i get this cancer “Sorry, were having trouble showing the details of this perk right now. Try again a little later.”

[inner arrow]

He is

[fiery python]

Firstly, don't refer to a minor technical issue as cancer. That's incredibly disrespectful.

[cyan plover]

this is why i like playstation more

[inner arrow]

Remember GOW4 he got thrown around like a gummy ball and didn't even flinch. A mere mortal wouldn't survive that. He still has some god powers in him

[fiery python]

Cool, go there. Hopefully with a better attitude to what you have here.

[cyan plover]

ffs i cant even claim perks

[wild tulip]

Anyone is getting cuphead physically?

[inner arrow]

Minor inconvenience occurs
"THIS IS WHY I LIKE PLAYSTATION MORE"
🙄

[cyan plover]

i wish my laptop came with playstation plus

"If you have an Xbox console, you can try claiming the perk there. I have tried it and I was able to claim without any problems at all."

[wild tulip]

This is equivalent to disliked and unsubscribed xD

[limpid flicker]

Uh. Why would it ever? Playstation stuff and PC stuff doesn't have that much of a connection...

[fiery python]

It told you to try again later. Do that.

Otherwise, contact Support - https://support.xbox.com/contact-us/xboxdiscord

But I suggest you be more patient and less gross with your phrasing.

[inner arrow]

We humans do that a lot. We overdramatisize a lot.

[cyan plover]

"try again later" I have been trying it for days

[fiery python]

Then read the rest of the message.

[cyan plover]

where can i find perks section on gamepass app for ios

theres no perks section on app

nice

[inner arrow]

Did you use a different region for your xbox than where you reside in? If so then that's most likely the culprit

[cyan plover]

i dont have an xbox

[fiery python]

Just contact Support like I told you to.

[tired hare]

Good morning beautiful humans

[cyan plover]

ill just ask my friend to borrrow his xbox series x

Fine, don't whine in here then.

Huh-uh!😁

Don't whine to Rhinne

[tired hare]

This week is great for me

If Xbox Support can't help you then I doubt we could either

[tired hare]

Oof

Nah, still here, unless my discord is bugging

Yh, refreshed and still showing as mutual server here, they just don't have roles

[upbeat matrix]

Lmfao I got the joke just now

[inner arrow]

Oh man... now "leakers" are jumping on the CMA debate and trying to blame this for a showcase delay? Even tho no showcase has been announced smh

[limpid flicker]

Alyxiate, what does that PFP represent? I've seen a very similar one before.

By similar, I mean with the same letters.

[lyric jetty]

yeah definitely a better way of doing it

[tired hare]

Are you allowed to give away a free xbox game pass

[inner arrow]

It was a bit weird switching all the time in third person mode

[tired hare]

i wanna give mine to somebody so yeah….

[upbeat matrix]

Someone gave me a gamepass for pc just an hour ago

[tired hare]

oh nice

[upbeat matrix]

Me if you dont mind

[tired hare]

okay 🙂

[upbeat matrix]

Cool

[tired hare]

Can you add me?

[upbeat matrix]

Done

[tired hare]

Ty

[upbeat matrix]

Np

[ashen yarrow]

It's probably a trial code

[tired hare]

i got it from getting nitro…so yeah….

[slow mango]

Why i don't hear the start up bip on my xbox anymore??

[cinder veldt]

Maybe it's turned off

[trail harness]

fumos looks kinda funny

[upbeat matrix]

It can be turned off from settings

[trail harness]

I kinda feel like giving my PC the XP startup sound. Lol.

[pine vessel]

It's my logo

[pine vessel]

It's my pfp on Tiktok, YouTube and Google so you could have also seen it on any of those

[limpid flicker]

Must be that I guess. I figured it might be like a band or something.

[dark sparrow]

My cats are so heavy, what have I been feeding them?

[idle spear]

Windows 95/98 startup sounds are the best I think

[trail harness]

Yeah those are good too

Sometimes I wish Microsoft kept the NT naming.

[idle spear]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgpWnLPw7l8

[dark sparrow]

Make this an Easter egg pls

[idle spear]

I would have this as my boot up if I could

[limpid flicker]

I only ever hear the latter half of that sound. You see, my AV receiver doesn't pick up the signal quickly enough.

[dark sparrow]

My tv doesn't show the boot, as it doesn't switch fast enough

[limpid flicker]

I'm not too bothered, but it does sound silly to hear it from part way.

[cinder veldt]

I don’t even get to hear startup sound, receiver is too slow or I just don’t have it on

[pine vessel]

Same with my soundbar, even when plugged in with aux and line in it takes a good second or two to pick up any sound from complete silence

[dim spindle]

Doesn't mw2 campaign early access start real soon?

[inner arrow]

Yes. This week

[dim spindle]

😈

[idle spear]

20th I believe

[limpid flicker]

Serious question. How often do these CoD games come out? It feels like only a couple of weeks since the last time you all were talking about a new one.

[dim spindle]

One every year

[inner arrow]

Every year a new one

[limpid flicker]

Huh. My mistake then.

[idle spear]

MW2 is the first one to last 2 years apparently

[dark sparrow]

There will probably be something in 2023

[dim spindle]

Sledgehammer is up next after mw2. Idk what cod they makin

[idle spear]

The map pack and campaign is the 2023 content reported atm

[limpid flicker]

The last time I remember people talking about pre-ordering for early access, maybe that was another game that mentally I file in the "CoD bucket" in my head.

[dark sparrow]

They'll probably remaster something

[inner arrow]

Rumors… that’s all what it is rn

[idle spear]

MW3 remaster maybe

[dim spindle]

Meh let that game rest. The legend needs its rest

[abstract pulsar]

Good morning, everyone.

[limpid flicker]

It was fine. The afternoon has happened here.

[abstract pulsar]

Still waiting for the afternoon to roll in where I'm at. Feels a bit slow today

[limpid flicker]

What is that person doing with the Series S that doesn't even look hooked up?

[abstract pulsar]

There's a hidden Nintendo Switch if you look really really hard ;P

[undone pulsar]

PS5 controller on a XSX/S

[idle spear]

I usually like the Treyarch games more than infinity ward after MW2 came out. Now they actually will have the proper amount of time to make a game unlike Cold War which they picked it up a year before release.

[limpid flicker]

Having looked hard, I still don't see it. Help me out? Also what is the USB stick in the front of the Series S? Significant?

[abstract pulsar]

I tricked ya, Sol. There is no Switch, sorry

[wicked flax]

Mayflash Magic-X is the adapter

[limpid flicker]

I figured it was something like that.

[idle spear]

Ow I have a few adapters from Mayflash. They seem to work alright

I have some adapters to use Gamecube controllers on PC and Switch and a Wii sensor bar for PC

[fiery python]

Just keep in mind those devices are not permitted by Xbox, so not really something to discuss here.

[near junco]

Anyone want a x box game pass ultimate code? I need to grt rid of it

[fiery python]

Feel free to drop the code in #xbox-game-pass or #gaming-deals and someone will grab it from there.

I recommend mentioning that it's for new subscribers only.

[wicked flax]

also arcade sticks

[near junco]

But I want someone to dm me bc I want to know they got it

[fiery python]

People are posting the codes in those channels all day long for people to take. No need to make people jump through hoops for it.

[limpid flicker]

Rhinne, regarding that device perhaps I shouldn't have asked. Sorry.

[fiery python]

You weren't to know what it was. It could have been a regular USB stick, or a receiver for a KB&M, or something else that's fine to use.

[wild tulip]

Who is excited for the upcoming arkanoid game?🥳

[abstract pulsar]

New Arkanoid? I have not heard about this

[inner arrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKdZdkOSAgo

[wild tulip]

Yes, it will be available on gamepass day one I think too

[abstract pulsar]

Hmm. Might take a peek

[wild tulip]

Up to 25 players simultaneously

[inner arrow]

Gamepass? 🤔

[abstract pulsar]

The multiplayer aspect isn't what catches my eye, but what does catch my eye is a really good Breakout-esque game in 2022

[wild tulip]

No? I thought I saw it on Xbox gameshow, maybe I'm wrong though

[inner arrow]

Mhhh... You might be right. Can't be purchased right now even tho it releases in 10 days. Might be nothing tho

[abstract pulsar]

Speaking of new GP releases... Apparently P5R hits the Xbox, Switch and PC shelves in 3 days

[inner arrow]

Official statement is that it releases. But not Gamepass

[wild tulip]

Arkanoid is a cult classic just like Tetris, never gets old and fun to play

[inner arrow]

Can't wait to just look at another picture in the GP list lol

[hushed hound]

Hello y'all i'm back

[cinder veldt]

And I just wanted to play OW with my friends 😦

[inner arrow]

Hello back

At least they finally patched the achievement bug in OW on xbox

[wild tulip]

Rip overwatch 1

[abstract pulsar]

Man, that's quite a lot of gigs to install (in my case, at least)

[cinder veldt]

what was the bug?

[wild tulip]

Shops shouldn't sell overwatch 1, I think

[inner arrow]

Still can't get over this lol

[inner arrow]

Disconnect everytime you got an achievement

[cinder veldt]

really? was that something a small user group experienced?

[abstract pulsar]

Cloud-based gaming is a privilege, not a necessity

[fiery python]

It's also a long way off being the standard.

A veeeeeeeeeeeery long way off.

[inner arrow]

CMA acts like it's gonna be tomorrow if Xbox gets COD

[inner arrow]

All of the xbox users experienced it. It was a widespread issue

[abstract pulsar]

If people like me having slow internet can't get steady rates on the cloud, I highly doubt that the cloud is gonna be taking over the gaming industry very soon

[cinder veldt]

it is for me too lol

[abstract pulsar]

All it is to me is a feature. Not something I need

[cinder veldt]

hmm weird was it since launch?

[abstract pulsar]

Man. I feel bad now

[inner arrow]

That's the thing tho. Xcloud right now is good. I like xcloud. I love using it. But not for everything. It was complementary instead of a replacement

[inner arrow]

Yes. The whole time : https://www.thegamer.com/overwatch-2-xbox-achievement-kicked-disconnect-bug/

[abstract pulsar]

Sure, XCloud lets me play MSFS on Xbox One, but it's not totally fantastic to the point of me saying "Yeah, I'm gonna use this forever"

[cinder veldt]

Wait it's much worse since I was downloading, here is with it paused

[wild tulip]

Damn those speeds are painful 😦

[inner arrow]

I use it forever for titles that are A. Not that good looking so that I am okay with streaming artifacts
B. Don't need quick reflexes
C. Are to big for me to bother downloading lol

[abstract pulsar]

My deepest condolences

Forza Horizon 4 is not the kind of game I would prefer to consistently use XCloud for. Unfortunately, it's the only option I have that doesn't include me deleting games on my Xbox

[wild tulip]

At least your ping isn't that big

[inner arrow]

I do used a lot of xcloud for FH5 when I was at my parents. It was perfectly fine ngl

[cinder veldt]

interesting, maybe I did not get an achievement because I have no memory of being disconnected

[abstract pulsar]

Were your internet speeds good?

[inner arrow]

Like... twice as good as Swagus

[abstract pulsar]

Better than 21 down, 5 up?

[inner arrow]

Or maybe you had the majority of it already. I switched from PS to Xbox so I had to get all the achievements again

[cinder veldt]

I did have a lot already indeed but there was some easy ones I didn't have

[inner arrow]

Definitely worse. Like... 6 up and 1 down? Around that

[abstract pulsar]

Strange. Artifacting, latency and lagging is more common on my cloud sessions than using the vowel A in my sentences with higher speeds than that.

[feral portal]

I got 2 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and 1 Month of PC Game Pass Ultimate, ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO NEVER HAD IT BEFORE. I can't use it myself so if anyone wants it DM me 🙂

[inner arrow]

But as said. I used ethernet

[fiery python]

You can post the code in #xbox-game-pass

[abstract pulsar]

So that's probably how it worked so well for you

[feral portal]

i'd rather know who claims it

[cinder veldt]

I apparently got an achievement on the 5th of october on OW

[feral portal]

honestly

[fiery python]

It's not like you're going to become best friends over a trial code ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[abstract pulsar]

I've got my router right in the room of where my console is, but I haven't connected it to Ethernet. Maybe that'll help my experience

[feral portal]

i know, but i prefer it rather then just posting it on the channel, im that way 😂

[inner arrow]

That and of course proxy forwarding

[idle spear]

I tried OW2 on xbox yesterday, it didn't seem to kick me out when I got an achievement, maybe they fixed it now.

[abstract pulsar]

Remind me. What is that?

[inner arrow]

They did fix it. Exactly 2 days ago

[idle spear]

Ow right

[tight zealot]

Hey guys I’m new too this and too playing Xbox, I dunno if I’m allowed (tell me if I’m not) but am I allowed too put my gamer tag into the chat or people give me their gamer tags to add?

[weary solar]

If you're looking for someone to play with, please go to #587074461770186765

Hopefully they can fix the stats on OW2 soon. Mine are completely messed up.

[wild tulip]

Imagine if you can connect fiber directly into your console

Yeah can't be a pachinko machine reveal if it has multiple languages for the website

This will be a game reveal for sure

You never know, accessibility for gambling is key nowadays /s

[inner arrow]

Beware of Youtube. Plague Tale endings are on there now. With the thumbnail of course spoiling it

[wild tulip]

Damn, that's so awfull

[abstract pulsar]

Has the game released already, or...?

[wild tulip]

Apparently people got physical versions early

And now they want to spoil the fun for everyone

[inner arrow]

Game releases digital for everyone at midnight today

[wild tulip]

Everyone have different midnight though xD

[inner arrow]

Physical is supposed to launch later. But someone got the copy early. Played through it in one go. Now the ending is on youtube. So don't go there and search for it.

[abstract pulsar]

Having my games spoiled are extremely common for me. Lately I've been trying to break that habit

[wild tulip]

I try very hard to avoid any spoilers

[abstract pulsar]

If there's one game I'm making sure I don't get spoiled... It's Pentiment.

[wild tulip]

The more game is popular the harder it is to avoid spoilers

[abstract pulsar]

Really wanna see this game from beginning to end, without witnessing something like a twist and going "Oh, I saw that." "whoa"

[sick dew]

[devout nova]

I'm stuck in a infinite ban cycle

I got ban for a profile picture that my friend reported me for as a joke and now I got un ban and got ban again for no reason

[kind heron]

He’s got a point. The Borg are like the best of the Gene Stealers but then also the only species really able to fully understand the ancient advanced tech everyone forgot. Still idk about his point of hand to hand though. In Star Trek we only see the Borg shields hold up against energy weapons which they absorb because of the frequencies, and the fact that their shields don’t hold up to hand to hand makes me think that the sheer kinetic force of a bolter would still hit a Borg with full force

[gray pulsar]

Is plague tale coming out in a few hours? Or is it tomorrow?

[wild tulip]

It's coming out very soon🥳

At 00:00 local time wherever you are

[gray pulsar]

There are no reviews out there?

[warped pendant]

embargo doesn't lift for another several hours

Hi, could somebody tell me where to connect headphones when one has an xbox connected to a monitor as well as using a mouse/keyboard?

[fiery python]

Depends on the headphones. Wired or wireless?

[dim rock]

wired

[fiery python]

In the controller.

Or in your monitor if it has a headphone jack.

[inner arrow]

Some 4k60fps videos on Youtube already from the Persona 5 Royale PC Version

[dim rock]

So the controller is connected and the audio streams through it and I can use the mouse/keyboard?

[fiery python]

yes, that should work

[keen token]

quick question, i saw some videos on youtube thats shows a little bit pixalated gameplay of series S, for example fifa 23. Anyone who has an xbox series s, whats your thoughts on this? is this true?

[dark sparrow]

When does the next god of war game even come out

[warped pendant]

november 9th

[inner arrow]

Embargo lifts 3th November or something. So they have so much time to review the game and give it a 10/10 and act like it's the best game ever... So 🤷‍♂️

[long maple]

another things for NFS Unbound showing tomorrow

[warped pendant]

tbf God of War is one of those games that'll probably deserve the hype

[dark sparrow]

Can't wait to see 9/10 and 10/10's, just for the game to be pretty buggy.

[inner arrow]

That's what people said about Cyberpunk

[warped pendant]

but it's also a 30-40 hour game with all the side content

so giving them sufficient time to review the whole game and get thoughts in order is probably best

[halcyon stratus]

That phrase isn’t as badly overused as “I’m scared” but it is trying

[dark sparrow]

Who's ready for the next cod game to also get over a 7/10 from IGN

[inner arrow]

"It really does deserve the hype" and I'm like :

[inner arrow]

"Thoughts in order". They do not have second thoughts. Look at this dude crying over a review code. They will give it a 10/10 all across the board without rethinking anything. It's always like this with Sony titles.

[warped pendant]

it lived up to most of it...on a pc

did...you even read it

Ralph's being satirical as hell lmfao

[inner arrow]

Nah. Knowing him he will make a 30 minutes video about "I can not stress enough how good this game is"

[warped pendant]

probably

maybe not

who knows

[halcyon stratus]

Does it even count as satire if you write “jk lol” immediately after the sentence though?

[warped pendant]

his last of us part 2 vid for example

[inner arrow]

Don't act like you don't know

[warped pendant]

considering he blasted that game

[inner arrow]

TLOU2 was just hip to tear apart. He had to.

[warped pendant]

he was one of the only ones

[jade loom]

Sure but there's no actual need to get those reviews done promptly for T-x before or on release. That's them and their competitors adding pressure to themselves

[warped pendant]

he still doesn't like the game lmao

[abstract pulsar]

wow

[warped pendant]

That couldn't be further from the truth

[jade loom]

Nope

[warped pendant]

there is this almighty thing called "The Algorithm"

and it is very much real

[halcyon stratus]

If 9 of 10 publications have their reviews up, you don’t want to not be part of that click wave

[warped pendant]

especially as a youtube only reviewer

[halcyon stratus]

You’ll be left behind forever and your marketing team will be sad

[merry palm]

Reviewers do need to have it done by then if they want their review to be seen. Its kind of their job lol

[long maple]

I dont watch review youtubers but I heard from podcasts that Skillup does a very thorough job

[jade loom]

Yeah but this is more than just YouTube and there re PLENTY of popular videos going back over not-just-released titles.

And again, that's not the problem of game makers or consumers.

[warped pendant]

yes. but this is in reference to youtube

not self-hosted sites

[jade loom]

Great.

[halcyon stratus]

If your review comes a month later then it needs to be unique. It needs to get deeply detailed in to some specific aspect. It can’t just be a general review

[warped pendant]

if you're even so much as 3-4 days late you can lose half of typically expected viewership on a video

[merry palm]

best to have both tbh, if you can swing it

[inner arrow]

Eh. Really depends.

[halcyon stratus]

Like “everyone already told you this is a good game, now I’m going to give you details on how the engine works after interviewing some of the devs” would work

[jade loom]

There's really no such thing as "general" amongst the top high quality providers anyway - if there is, the state of the art is in really bad shape

[halcyon stratus]

The state of the art is in really bad shape

[jade loom]

The saturation is already so high the click wave favours only the top anyway

[warped pendant]

the algorithm cares for promptness, relevant, and length

it's why you don't see hour long reviews outside of podcast form

[jade loom]

So we speculate

[merry palm]

you are just proving the point though.. lagging behind sets you back

[warped pendant]

it's not speculation

there's literally metrics

it's not like people do this as their job or anything

[halcyon stratus]

Professional YouTubers have shown their data

[merry palm]

lol

[inner arrow]

The tweet alone that someone got a review copy is generating a lot of likes. That's where we are at right now. People crave for anything so even a bad review that explains nothing and tells you nothing besides "Game good" is all that people want right now.

[merry palm]

??????

No it isnt

[warped pendant]

it's more like it solidifies that the game is indeed real

[merry palm]

I'm still waiting on silksong being real 😂

[inner arrow]

Never

[merry palm]

anyway.. happy monday peeps

[open flume]

what in the heck is happening in here

[warped pendant]

dune subreddit banning AI art

[halcyon stratus]

Nothing you would have any insight on

[inner arrow]

Talking about buzz and stuff

[open flume]

oh okay carry on

[inner arrow]

Actually... Tacti is about right. Nothing anyone one of us would have any insight on I assume

[halcyon stratus]

I follow a lot of art Twitter and the ai art “debate” is getting very exhausting. Every comment is emotional and based in fear and anger.

[merry palm]

debating if leaving my SAD lamp on longer is a good idea... im so tired

[open flume]

i 1000% believe he was being sarcastic in regards to that comment toward me lol

[inner arrow]

Oh. Well my bad

[halcyon stratus]

I didn’t think it was that subtle lmao

[open flume]

LOL

thatd be like going to Em and saying "we're just discussing the xbox home screen and UI, not like you'd have any insight on that... /s"

[inner arrow]

I am sorry. I had a 8 hours kubernetes training today.

[halcyon stratus]

Oh Jesus

[open flume]

is that like dianetics or

[merry palm]

i had to google it..

i skimmed the google and went meh

[inner arrow]

Kubernetes is basically like... Docker just for preventing down time

[halcyon stratus]

It is the foundation for one of the religious sects in the cloud tech space

[inner arrow]

I really don't know how to explain this in english when I had to talk hours and hours in german lol

[merry palm]

that was my take, essentially 😂

[shell echo]

Goodmorning

[inner arrow]

NZ people already posting the main menu of Plagues Tale lol

[dull escarp]

I've already seen gameplay from those early copies that got sent out...

[inner arrow]

Beware... There are also endings already posted on youtube

[dull escarp]

Not the endings though

[long maple]

I just started downloading it ready for later

[inner arrow]

I used plural cause no idea if one or more... But just to tell people to be aware of the videos

[keen token]

quick question, i saw some videos on youtube thats shows a little bit pixalated gameplay of series S, for example fifa 23. Anyone who has an xbox series s, whats your thoughts on this? is this true?

[fiery python]

Are the videos not evidence enough?

[keen token]

just asking, if anyone has a personal experience with this

[inner arrow]

Nope

I also don't watch youtube videos in 360p so there's that as well

[halcyon stratus]

Every home game console in the history of time, with only a single exception, has had pixelated graphics

[long maple]

no clue either, I only have the disc version on SeriesX

[dim spindle]

Unless u got a Boulder for a TV it shouldn't be pixelated

[keen token]

okay,thanks.

[dim spindle]

Glad we could help ya lol

[warped pendant]

I can't even say it's exhausting at this point

it's gone way too far

People have literally been stealing artists work before they're even finished now

[halcyon stratus]

I don’t respond to any of them, which is probably the only reason I haven’t deleted my internet yet

[warped pendant]

running them through generators and claiming the artist stole their own stuff.

the smaller group of genuinely bad actors is ruining the potential good the tech can have

as usual

[cyan plover]

halo mcc crashed bc i have slow wifi, i paid for 1gbps wifi i get around 20kbps download speed bruh

[astral anvil]

It's just a code, not a sketchy link

[warped pendant]

internet speeds and wifi are not the same

just post the code

if it's the one from discord make sure to specify it's a trial only new subscribers can redeem.

Akira Yamaoka (Componist for the Silent Hill music) and Masahiro Ito (Art Director/Monster Designer for early Silent Hill games) tweeted/instagrammed about the Silent Hill website. Which might lead to them being involved with the new project.

How long does it take for a Microsoft rewards Xbox gift card to be added to your account after you get an email saying it was added?

[warped pendant]

if you got the email it should be in your account

[vestal kindle]

I got the email saying it’s in my account but only 2/4 gift cards I claimed are actually in my account

[fluid creek]

No one here has insight into that

U can even "url check it " its safe

I bought an inflatable jack-o-lantern yesterday but I discovered it had a hole.

Luckily I had a pumpkin patch.

yeah it is safe, but imgur would be safer bet because almost everyone knows it

@worn shale hey hey I went to the video store last night and rented X for the movie challenge. excellent movie!

[night rapids]

Calm down everyone. Pick up the tables and use your words

[trail harness]

making mistakes does not make you dumb or an idiot. Everyone messed up sometimes.

[worn shale]

RIGHT?! its such a fun time!

[gray latch]

yeah! dying to see Pearl now

[trail harness]

done ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)
oops, sorry for ping

[molten briar]

You don't tell me to calm down! Don't make me summon Iris!

[worn shale]

fun fact: the actress who plays the main girl in X also plays Pearl in X, and young Pearl in Pearl

[gray latch]

oh wow

[gray latch]

that makes the "you're nothing like me!!" line even funnier

[worn shale]

yeah that was definitely intentional. its really crazy cause the actress, Mia Goth, just loses herself in these roles and even looks completely different in each role. idk HOW she does it

one film he did, House of the Devil, was made as an homage to horror films of the 80s and he even used filming equipment from that era to make the film

So just out of curiosity what what do you guys think about the quality of the discord voice chat on Xbox?

[gray latch]

I haven't tried it

if you have feedback or need help we have #999315012826972331

[worn shale]

so green the challenge youre doing is for movies where theyre filming a movie eh?

[gray latch]

that was just yesterday

different theme every day

[worn shale]

oh i thought you did that specific challenge already with a different movie

[gray latch]

I had a movie rented already but I really wanted to see X 😄

[worn shale]

fair. im glad you enjoyed X. its honestly one of the best films i saw this year

[gray latch]

Zombie Girl was more of a documentary anyway so X fit the challenge better

[worn shale]

nice. so whats the challenge now?

[gray latch]

today is a movie banned in the UK. I got Tenebrae

[dim fable]

Is there a nitro booster role?

[gray latch]

no

[worn shale]

awesome. for a movie with a high body count, maybe Dead Alive(Brain Dead if you're in the UK)

[gray latch]

already seen that. I got Us

[limpid flicker]

Servers that are 'official' or something like that don't need boosts. They get the same benefits without it.

[worn shale]

i wasnt a big fan of Us, but i hope you enjoy it

[desert sonnet]

That's such an intricate list Green lol. Love it.

[gray latch]

I try to only watch movies I've never seen before but I will make an exception for things I haven't seen is literal decades

[worn shale]

speaking of movies we havent seen in decades. well. in my case its just over a decade. saw Poltergeist(1982) at my theatre last night!

hadnt seen that since i was in high school

[gray latch]

oh nice! yeah I haven't seen that in forever either

[inner arrow]

https://opencritic.com/game/8785/persona-5-royal What a surprise

[limpid flicker]

I sometimes watch movies with a group that includes people a bit younger than me. It's funny to tell them "Ooh, I haven't seen this in (longer than your age)!"

[worn shale]

maybe watch that one for day 24. which is ghost movies

[gray latch]

yeah!

[inner arrow]

I'm gonna watch Olympus has fallen. A true nightmare movie

[desert sonnet]

Is that a disaster movie? I actually really like those types

[halcyon stratus]

Wasn’t that one of the USA President is kidnapped typed movies?

[inner arrow]

In a way. It's so bad it's just bad lol

[long maple]

still didnt get to watch that film I had planned to over the weekend. my kids had a ton of homework to do

[desert sonnet]

Ohh.. it's one of those action thriller movies lol

[molten briar]

https://tenor.com/view/get-out-my-plane-get-off-my-plane-gif-19084695

[halcyon stratus]

Oh my goodness they somehow made it is “fallen trilogy”

[desert sonnet]

I saw Edge of Tomorrow (Live Die Repeat) again last night. It's still so good.

[long maple]

daughter is learning about Logic Gates and asking me for help, like I know anything about it 😄

[inner arrow]

I dunno which one was the latest but the first one was still okay. But the latest was just... oof

[halcyon stratus]

Logic gates are easy. It is math which only 2 numbers!

[worn shale]

Olympus Has Fallen
London Has Fallen
Angel Has Fallen

and theres plans for 3 more

[halcyon stratus]

I only saw the first one. That’s the kind of movie I save for watching on long plane flights lol

[long maple]

I watched The Rock again the other night, havent seen in awhile

[desert sonnet]

Plans for 3 more? Jesus. What else can fall?

[inner arrow]

3 more... London was already bad

Angel has fallen was just.. I don't know what I even watched. Felt like a fever dream

[halcyon stratus]

Tokyo, Vancouver, Jamaica….

[inner arrow]

Tokyo has fallen... I can't

[desert sonnet]

Jamaica lmao

[inner arrow]

If they don't show jamaica while playing bob marley I will be disappointed

[desert sonnet]

"Mr.President, Jamaica has fallen". I can see it now.

[inner arrow]

But yeah the first one was okay. I remember watching it and thinking it was a good time waster. The second just... Oof. But the third just drags even more

Thinking of buying Persona 5 for my fiancee

[worn shale]

at least its not the Saw movies. we're getting a 10th one next year

[long maple]

thats fine I dont mind Saw as a random watch

[desert sonnet]

I only ever saw the first Saw. I really liked it.

[worn shale]

Saw shouldve ended after 3

[long maple]

same as the Final Destination stuff I have seen them all

[halcyon stratus]

I have trouble rating Airplane Mpvies because I know my scale would be off.

Like I watched all the X-men movies on planes and loved them. I watched Jungle Cruise on a plane and thought it was surprisingly good.

Would I think the same if I watched them while not trapped in a small seat for 6 hours with nothing else to do? Who knows

[slender flume]

should i buy mw2

[inner arrow]

Saw is the type of movie I watch for the kills. Each kill or "puzzle" feels like it's separated from the clustertruck that is the overarching story. Even tho people don't like the second as much... I felt the second actually did so much things differently that I liked it more than the first

[molten briar]

Airplane is great though tact!

[desert sonnet]

Oooo Final Destination, Paul. I loved those movies. Did you ever see that YouTube video showing how in the first one, how their death is hinted at?

[worn shale]

why would your scale be off? watching a movie on a plane shouldnt affect your judgment too much. its still very much possible to watch a bad film on an airplane

[desert sonnet]

I'd buy them.

[worn shale]

gaben

[long maple]

nah, I hardly watch youtube for that sort of thing.. it ends up me watching funny animal videos, cooking/recipes, or just watching gaming podcasts.

getting bored with youtube though way too many ads now

[worn shale]

i watched a hopalong cassidy film on a plane once. that was neat.

[halcyon stratus]

Also woodworking and construction videos

[long maple]

oh yeah I watched someone make a table from pallets and sold for tons of money lol

[desert sonnet]

I like YouTube mainly for history channels, game news, cooking, and classic movie scenes. I should get into watching more woodworking though.

[long maple]

when you stay up most the night and everyone else is in bed. I just sit here looking at random stuff

[worn shale]

i like watching speedrunning history, weird history, and videos about weird obscure gaming things

[gray pulsar]

do you think Hogwarts Legacy will live upto the expectations? hope it doesn't become like cyberpunk with cut content

[worn shale]

LGR is a great channel if youre into retro gaming at all

[inner arrow]

Sean Seanson for the PS1 stuff definitely

[desert sonnet]

I like LGR for watching his take on new Sims dlc and expansions lol

[mild wolf]

ayy

who needs a game pass

[long maple]

dont know about expectations but I am getting it for the Wife, she is HP mad her birthday is this month and wants some stuff. just told me hey I got a massive list on Amazon if you stuck for present ideas.

definitely helps cause its so difficult even deciding what to buy

[halcyon stratus]

I buy people things I’d want and that makes it easier lol

[oblique epoch]

Anyone knows what’s going on with the activation deal and those games being on game pass?

[halcyon stratus]

“They like cooking? Okay so do I, so let me find something that I’d really want to use…”

[fiery python]

No one knows yet. It's still being investigated.

[gray latch]

won't be till the deal goes thru sometime next year

[oblique epoch]

Ok thanks

[halcyon stratus]

The internet has lots of information on the investigations and the progress in different countries.

Buying atvi stock is easy money.

It is extremely unlikely that the deal won’t go through.

[long maple]

I need to invest in a better Wok the one I bought didnt last long

also a new frying pan cause the handle snapped I could fix myself but thats too much work lol

[halcyon stratus]

My woke rusted more than I was willing to deal with lol

[oblique epoch]

Even with all the lawsuits

[cerulean basin]

The lawsuits don't have much to do with the acquisition investigations though

[long maple]

yeah UK is pushing back but they have until 1st March to give their final decision, EU has just started talking about it, but yeah Microsoft wanted 17-18 approvals from around the world which is why its been going on since what was it Jan/Feb

and we could have another 7-8 months of this back n forth all public. podcasts and everyone constantly talking about it every week

although the people I watch are all sick of talking about it, but its news 😄

The article says its at a booth and a game to be played during the championships this weekend

Shooting gummy worms at targets

[wild tulip]

I liked the first movie, second is okay
But it got progressively gross than interesting to me 😦

[long maple]

my Internet is slow or either that I am on a slow server for Plague Tale. but thats fine says 3 hours left

[wild tulip]

Should've downloaded it days earlier😅

[long maple]

its fine not out till Midnight ages away, I am gonna be up all night again anyway

[worn shale]

Saw is just gratuitous violence while acting like its smarter than it actually is

[long maple]

6 hours till Midnight, still got dinner to make soon so time will flyby

[desert sonnet]

Ooo whatcha making Paul?

[long maple]

one of these Hellofresh recipes lol

[wild tulip]

I think Hostel is way more gross than Saw, also new movie that is continuation of saw also gross, spiral or smth

[sage geyser]

Hello ppl

[long maple]

yeah Spiral with Chris Rock

[desert sonnet]

Sounds good

[noble trout]

o.O

[desert sonnet]

Yea I remember Hostel. That movie barely had a plot. It was just one violent scene after another.

[wild tulip]

Paul what r ya gonna cook?

[inner arrow]

I like those movies and I don't find them gross

[halcyon stratus]

i don't like that kind of movie.

i want a plot or at least for it to be super campy.

i don't just want "violence after gross after violence"

[long maple]

I think its Aubergine Parmagiana with potato wedges. gonna have some garlic bread with it

I have a Halloween themed Quesadilla for this week too, basically just a spider web made from Sour Cream or some other type lol

[desert sonnet]

Dang. Maybe I should subscribe to this Hellofresh thing lol

[long maple]

you get everything in the box its good for portion control and some recipes are from weight watchers but yeah with our money issues going on here and food prices going up. I got sick of looking for something nice to buy every week

[halcyon stratus]

I don't know why Americans haven't gravitated to 'aubergine'
The 99% of non-farmers here have no clue why it is called an egg plant in the first place..

[merry palm]

aubergine sounds fancier

[long maple]

last nights meal was BBQ Mexican beef with pasta and cheese. with green chilli ontop I put too much on mine and had to go sleep it off cause it gave me a terrible headache

first time a chilli has done that to me

[halcyon stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/ratatouille-disney-food-france-cooking-gif-23982992

[merry palm]

i only ever had eggplant like.. once

when i cooked it myself and it didnt go that well so.. idk if i like it or not

[long maple]

yeah I have used it maybe once or twice

[desert sonnet]

Mmm now I'm hungry

[halcyon stratus]

eggplant is extremely finicky. It can be hard and fiberous or it can be nasty and mush. Doign it right is tough - and not worth the effort as far as I'm concerned

[merry palm]

yeah i had to prep it by getting a bunch of the moisture out and its like.. ugh

so much work

[worn shale]

the effort is worth the good food honestly

[limber carbon]

I like ladies finger also known as okra - especially when its slimy.

[halcyon stratus]

if it is slimy than it was cooked wrong

source: Southerner

[merry palm]

i can make other good food that doesnt require as much work

[desert sonnet]

I cooked salmon last night. Took about 40 minutes but it turned out sooo good. 😋

[wild tulip]

Mushy is okay, but when it's rubbery it's not that nice

[limber carbon]

We have a dish where its supposed to be slimy.

Source : I'm Asian 🙂

[desert sonnet]

I think I might have pizza for my trip later.

[worn shale]

i actually dont have to worry about cooking most nights cause one of my roommates is a kitchen witch who just cooks all our meals

[long maple]

I enjoy the cooking, find it relaxing

[desert sonnet]

It's the cleaning up afterwards that I despise.

[wild tulip]

Cooking is fun, but cleanup afterwards not so much

[fierce stump]

I quite like cooking

[halcyon stratus]

i wish i liked salmon.... it is absolutely everywhere out here.

I do like trout which is related, but 'actual salmon' i almost never enjoy

[worn shale]

basically she does the cooking, me and my other roommate do the dishes

[long maple]

yeah thats what my kids are for.. they do all the washing up and drying up lol

[fierce stump]

I'm so hungryyyyy

[surreal hamlet]

do they do it without complaining though?

[wild tulip]

Jinxed it together=P

[long maple]

they are on a rotation thing. and get money at the end of it so win-win

[merry palm]

i want curry ;-;

i have no curry

[vocal gorge]

I'm being lazy and ordered a burger 😋

[molten briar]

curry more favors then

[desert sonnet]

Mmm burger

[limber carbon]

I made curry last week.
Taking a break from curry with pork stew this week

[worn shale]

same. i ordered a pretzel bacon king combo from burger king

[wild tulip]

Now I want to eat a burrito

[merry palm]

i have cracker and instant ramen

[desert sonnet]

I still have a picture of a double quarter pounder on my phone. Whenever I want a burger, I like to pull it up and stare at it to torture myself.

[noble trout]

I like it that I havent had many takeaways cause it gets expensive for 4 people, cheaper to make my favourite meals from them myself

sometimes i have instant ramen and pretend real hard its actual nice ramen

😆

It was the only other mushy food I could think of 😆

Don't eat my people please🥺

Your imagination must be good to pretend it to be nice ramen lol

[inner arrow]

Well actually there are some instant ramen that taste good tho

[wild tulip]

Korean instant ramen is pretty good

[worn shale]

man, i miss when we had a dedicated noodle shop here. the one we had expanded into general asian cuisine

[limber carbon]

Uggh.. I miss Singapore Chilli Crab.

[dark sparrow]

Did somebody say applesauce?

[worn shale]

looks awesome

[noble trout]

I dare you to look at this picture and not think "WHEE!"

[halcyon stratus]

I did not think "whee"

[warped pendant]

I didn't think whee either

I got air pockets flashbacks while flying on a plane😅

who said the forbidden text then?

that's the idea 😄

*she :)

[floral whale]

my bad

[dark sparrow]

New name idea:
Greenbirb

[gray latch]

I was Astrobirb for a while

[limber carbon]

I need a bit of help. Do you know of anyone who has played Forza with disability? I know someone who is currently exploring options, but I have nothing else beyond the Xbox Adaptive Controller or a Logitech Wheel (she asked for a wheel).

[dark sparrow]

Birb birb birb, birb is the word

[floral whale]

that sounds like a boss or something lol I may use that name

[merry palm]

not the astros!

[night rapids]

There are lots of YouTube videos covering this. Forza is one of the easier games to modify with Adaptive controllers as it doesn't use a lot of inputs

[dark sparrow]

Time to watch pet memes for 40 minutes

[floral whale]

the eye pic that green has still fits too well it's very creepy in a good way

[floral whale]

you say that like it's not fun

[dark sparrow]

Avoid ping pls

[floral whale]

oh sorry

[dark sparrow]

It's ok, we all make mistakes, we're simply human.

[worn shale]

man, Titanfall's 360 port is VERY impressive

[floral whale]

I know, it was very impressive for what it was and I'm not gonna lie for the longest time I thought it was fake

[dark sparrow]

I know, it's really good

[worn shale]

idk how Bluepoint pulled it off

[floral whale]

it's a shame that titanfall 2 dosnt run properly anymore

[dark sparrow]

They essentially redid how the game engine works

[worn shale]

it does on pc thanks to the Northstar mod

[floral whale]

sadly not on xbox tho

[worn shale]

yeah im watching a video on it, thats why i brought it up. but even knowing all of that it still feels like witchcraft lol

[worn shale]

there was an update months ago that did kinda fix the servers

[dark sparrow]

It basically is

[floral whale]

I hope we get titanfall 3 some day

[dark sparrow]

I don't think respawn is heavily interested in a Titanfall 3 rn

[floral whale]

true

Hello, i wanted to deposit my mobile credit into my xbox account. Is it possible? I've been searching for an answer online but havent found anything. I know for a fact that playstation supports it

According to reviews it has technical issues

[floral whale]

will that stop people, no no it shouldn't

[long maple]

day one patch is coming apparently

[worn shale]

oh man this has NOT aged well, jesus christ. https://www.pcgamer.com/halo-games-will-always-have-split-screen-going-forward-says-343-industries-founder/

[inner arrow]

Reviews say that Day 1 patch doesn't fix most technical issues

[long maple]

doesnt bother me that much, I just want something to play before bed

[inner arrow]

As long as my xbox doesn't explode then I am fine with it too

[worn shale]

im sick of games releasing in broken or buggy states

i blame the publishers for imposing massive crunch on devs

[inner arrow]

It's not broken or buggy in a sense of gameplay

[tired hare]

Xbox doesn’t recognise my tv, when i turn off my xbox the tv stays on, and the volume controls don’t work either, how do i get my xbox to know my tv

[worn shale]

yeah but having technical issues is kind of an oof. cant be as bad as arkham knight on pc tho. yeesh.

[foggy skiff]

MarinerBirb

[inner arrow]

Well these issues can be ironed out. Bad gameplay can't lol

[floral whale]

only certain older ones or newer ones will work

[fiery python]

It's a Focus Home Interactive game. Jank goes hand in hand with the games they publish, like bugs and Bethesda.

[tired hare]

was working b4 and just stopped

[floral whale]

then no clue

[worn shale]

Bethesda is a massive company, im surprised their games release so buggy.

[halcyon stratus]

Unplug your tv and your Xbox, disconnect the hdmi cable from both ends, and then reconnect everything

[tired hare]

take a dive into ubisoft!

[floral whale]

that's because "it just works"

[fiery python]

Because their games are incredibly complex with dozens if not hundreds of possible paths.

[halcyon stratus]

Hdmi is oddly@picky about cables for some reason.

[inner arrow]

Asobo at Microsoft pls

[worn shale]

no, it doesnt, todd

[tired hare]

Tedious work for my lazy self, it’s the whole reason i want the feature!!

Well thanks i’ll try it.

[fiery python]

It does. They never said 'It works well', just that it works.

[floral whale]

why is not a real skin I would actually use it

[halcyon stratus]

And of course you have double checked that CEC is turned on in the tv and Xbox

[worn shale]

thankfully bethesda is chill with mods. you can completely overhaul skyrim with mods

[tired hare]

Okay!

[floral whale]

yes, yes you csn, some mods are "better suited" than others

[swift thistle]

you'll have to look on nexus for the more advanced mods

But bethesda.net has decent mods

[worn shale]

lemme know if im wrong cause i havent played Witcher 3. i heard Witcher 3 was pretty stable and not suuuper buggy and thats a massive open world game with ALOT of content. so if CDPR can do it, why not Bethesda?

[fiery python]

Witcher 3 was busted when it released.

[floral whale]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[worn shale]

oh was it? i didnt know

[fiery python]

Yep, loads of bugs.

[worn shale]

i assume the real bad ones were patched out

[wicked stag]

Anyone ever played Majora’s mask

[swift thistle]

the only place where modding on skyrim is difficult is on the playstation. iirc they don't like the use of the necessary script extenders for most mods so you can't get anything big.

[fiery python]

I have. Not a fan

[wicked stag]

We all safety agree Final hours is a dark as hell and disturbing theme.

[swift thistle]

i have
its alright

[wicked stag]

It’s like the end of the world theme 😭 literally gave me chills

[worn shale]

ah, sony being lame. classic.

[lyric jetty]

I’m pretty sure Witcher 3 was so bad that one of the early patches was a complete combat overhaul

[wild tulip]

Will we get witcher 3 upgrade?

[worn shale]

jesus christ i had no idea

[swift thistle]

iirc when fallout 4 released mods were delayed on playstation by a soild 6 months

[long maple]

Witcher 3 update still set for this year

[worn shale]

why is sony like this

[noble trout]

Wow. Torvalds threw a fit over merging source code.

[long maple]

when they announced all those sequels and stuff it was mentioned, as people kept asking

[wild tulip]

Do you think it will be a big change or just minor things Paul?

[swift thistle]

Torvalds?

[worn shale]

who?

[noble trout]

Uh.

Linux Torvalds?

Creator of Linux?

[long maple]

not sure, never played the game. its a free update for Series/PS5 though so I dont know. graphics update maybe some of other stuff

[worn shale]

i know NOTHING about Linux. i just know its good if you know how to code.

[noble trout]

Seems he's throwing a fit because people are checking in code at the last minute, for a coming Linux kernel release.

Well, threw a fit.

[wicked stag]

Wasn’t twilight princess T rated?

[noble trout]

And probably glared at people.

[swift thistle]

i know a bit about linux but nothing of its development

[noble trout]

I doubt he flipped a table 🙂

[swift thistle]

┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ)

[wild tulip]

You don't need to know how to code to use Linux, but it is beneficial

[wicked stag]

I know Linux memes 😭

[merry palm]

linux can be great.. people who use linux are really the reason for the memes

[magic axle]

linux isn't really the best user friendly at times

need to know the commands to get yourself out of hot water

[swift thistle]

iirc Linux is considered the 5% of the computing space

[merry palm]

there are lots of options for linux. some are more friendly than others

[wild tulip]

Ubuntu is a nice getaway into Linux world

[magic axle]

just don't try using it on brand new hardware

like RTX 4090 wouldn't have its drivers just yet

[wild tulip]

Not even on Framework?👀

[magic axle]

maybe but new hardware don't trust in linux

[idle spear]

Older nvidia cards have issues on modern distros I find. You don’t need to code really, just simple commands will be needed every now and then.

oh boy oh boy.

Plague Tale is memory-bus limited.

rip every pc gamer with anything under a 3080

3070 is struggling to keep 1080p@60 on medium settings (DLSS and RT Off) from what I'm seeing

[tired hare]

hi peeps

[fiery python]

Damn, that's not good.

[fiery python]

Hi

[warped pendant]

yeah. it's getting hit on reviews cause of performance

[potent brook]

What game is that 💀 💀

[warped pendant]

but it's not a VRAM limitation at least.

Plague Tale Requiem. game that comes out at midnight

[potent brook]

Zamn

[warped pendant]

https://youtu.be/AlBaTgDqFME?t=270

[gray pulsar]

is plague tale requiem also 30fps?

[warped pendant]

timestamped for 4k@ultra settings

game looks so good

[warped pendant]

it's.....complicated

yes and no

people literally kept thinking they had swapped to UE5 from their own engine it looks so good lol

[gray pulsar]

so this generation of consoles are already dead?

[warped pendant]

no

[gray pulsar]

plague tale 30, gotham knights 30fps

[warped pendant]

I just said it was complicated

[wicked flax]

that title

[warped pendant]

I never said it was 30fps

[halcyon stratus]

Sure. Better just take a break from gaming for 7 years until the next gen is available.

[keen valley]

What on this sever we can talk about something about our consoles

[sage ice]

yes

[noble trout]

#rules

No modding or self-repair, plz 🙂

[idle spear]

That’s pretty crazy. I haven’t seen a game do that before on 3070.

[long socket]

men

[wild tulip]

Okay guys, I'm diving in, see ya😁🥳🥰

[long socket]

is that fortnite

[warped pendant]

2080Ti does a bit better. but it also has a slightly larger memory bus width albeit with slower memory.

[gray pulsar]

nah man. clearly it's pokemon go

[long socket]

oooooh

[worn shale]

WHY

FORGOT TO TURN OFF PING, MY BAD ;_;

[warped pendant]

because it has high detail textures and models.

and a lot of density

[worn shale]

they cant fenagle it to run on lower end hardware on low settings?

[warped pendant]

do....you know how memory bus width works?

[worn shale]

i do not, please enlighten me

[warped pendant]

it's the interface that allows the gpu to communicate with chips and memory

larger bus means more data throughput

a GTX 1070 and an RTX 3070 both have a 256-bit memory bus

3080 has a 384-bit memory bus

which is an exponentially larger amount of throughput

this was earlier

about 30min ago

this is now

[vocal gorge]

wonder how much lower the framerate is after disabling DLSS. I see it was set to performance and included the DLSS 3 feature

[worn shale]

huh. interesting

[eager skiff]

Anyone want free game pass code

If it works

[peak marlin]

Me

[kind heron]

Is it one of those promotional ones for new subscribers?

[warped pendant]

60

it sits around 60fps

this is still without RT mind you

[vocal gorge]

hmm that is scary 60 FPS on a 4090. RIP to reaching that at ultra 4K on my 6800 XT then...

[inner arrow]

Play of the game : Hanzo shoots randomly into a corridor and only hits me with a headshot.
How embarrassing

[vocal gorge]

sometimes I feel like I have fallen for the 4K hype when performance at 1080p and 1440p is a lot better. Most games I played were well above 60 FPS and creeping into the low 100-110 FPS with some going even further. Native 4K and ultra/maxed is unforgiving

[abstract pulsar]

The only "journalism" site trying to write news about the Fable reboot, just building stuff from random things they find

[summer raven]

howz bioshock games?

[halcyon stratus]

amazing

[worn shale]

its a beloved classic and a pinnacle of gaming in the late 2000s

[halcyon stratus]

bioshock 1 is an absolute S tier game without question

[summer raven]

whats the good thing its having?

[abstract pulsar]

People still bring it up for a reason, a good one, that is

[vocal gorge]

TIL the Series X has a larger memory bus than even the 6800 XT. 320GB/s vs 256GB/s

[worn shale]

the story is really good, gameplay loop is satisfying, its pretty difficult if youre not used to immersive sims

[summer raven]

but the graphics is out dated

[halcyon stratus]

the graphics of pac man are also outdated

[summer raven]

yep tetris as well

[worn shale]

dude its a game from 2007 and honestly it still looks fine. good art design never goes out of style

[halcyon stratus]

then you understand that 'outdated graphics' doesn't mean 'is not fun'

[summer raven]

yes sir

[worn shale]

you gotta get out of the mindset that "old graphics=bad". youre limiting yourself from enjoying great games bvecause of a shallow, petty reason

[summer raven]

nah i m just saying that graphics isnot good as now

[worn shale]

id argue that while the graphics have aged, the art design has not. it still looks very pretty because of how good the art design is

[summer raven]

i think it should remake

[half hazel]

i forgot i had serious sam 4 installed

[worn shale]

what? no. the game doesnt need a remake. this isnt System Shock

[summer raven]

😂

[half hazel]

does it need a sequel?

[kind heron]

The game’s graphical art style is great and because it doesn’t go for photo realism like many games it still holds up 15 years later. Not to mention the game has a golden story, fun gameplay and fantastic environments to explore

[worn shale]

System Shock is getting a remake cause the gameplay itself and the UI are VERY hard for the average person to get into

but Bioshock looks great, plays well, and is very easy to understand. it doesnt need a remake.

[half hazel]

might get into it
looks dope

[summer raven]

oh really UI is that bad

[surreal hamlet]

PSA: for anyone with the Minecraft PolyMC launcher, PLEASE REMOVE IT, unfortunately it was hacked and is not safe to use currently

[half hazel]

these long open world games are kinda getting boring

[worn shale]

for System Shock? yeah its pretty bad. its just alot of weird stuff that doesnt make sense unless youve been playing for hours

[summer raven]

yep agreed

[worn shale]

this is what System Shock looks like
