[steel epoch]

That’s okay the lobster thing is what drove me away from Doctor Peterson during college.

[shadow stirrup]

How’s everyone doing

[steel epoch]

Fever dream.

[near salmon]

it's nearly midnight

[steel epoch]

I’m still wearing socks.

[near salmon]

ok

[steel epoch]

Anthem not getting an update is ludicrous.

It has all the game mechanics!

[near salmon]

it's literally been shut down

[steel epoch]

No

I can still play Anthem.

Anthem lives guys.

Fatal Bullet session maybe. Brap brap brap.

[short mantle]

Not sure what game you’re playing, but they shut down the servers for Anthem a month or two ago.

[buoyant nebula]

https://amzn.eu/d/01Og6Et1 does anyone have experience with these back paddles? would they fit on a controller that has a Chatpad attached?

[west pagoda]

evening xbox ppl 🤠

[shadow stirrup]

What’s everyone doing

[west pagoda]

never got to play Anthem and now dunno if I will

[limpid flicker]

Playing ESO briefly before bed is what I'm doing

[wraith spire]

in PC? XBOX app?

[limpid flicker]

Xbox.

[wraith spire]

ok

[limpid flicker]

Console, not app.

I think Xbox players are "stuck on" Xbox, you can't move over.

[fallow moat]

Finally home from work today

[short mantle]

I’m playing F76. I’m working on the last achievement I need for the completion.

[limpid flicker]

Nice!

Hey Anchel, you still around? When you said ESO through the Xbox app is rolling out, that WILL apply to ROG ally, presumably?

[near salmon]

I believe he went to bed

[limpid flicker]

That's why no ping, just a namedrop. Doesn't disturb his beauty sleep.

[near salmon]

oh okay, yeah he said he was heading off about half an hour ago

[pine turret]

Wsp guys

[tired hare]

is anyone here knowledgeable about cyber security i have personal inquiries in dms

[lunar panther]

Why is this a question for the Xbox Discord server? 😄

[near salmon]

because they know we all super smart here

[north kettle]

Is b06 actually free?and besides campaign what should i install(warzone or multiplayer or do i need both?)

[west pagoda]

should be free with GPU, install that what you gon play

[north kettle]

Gpu means game pss ultimate?

[near salmon]

it's free with this thing you have to pay for yeah!

[north kettle]

I have standard edition tho

[west pagoda]

would need to sub up for bo6

[north kettle]

It says i can install tho

Cant send photos damn

[idle spear]

It won’t let you once you boot it up

[north kettle]

Bruhhh🧍

[west pagoda]

I could install many things but it won't let you start

license issue

[limpid flicker]

If I'm feeling pedantic, I will go with "at no added cost" rather than "free" for things like that.

[north kettle]

Well thats evil

[west pagoda]

if you put all that effort and bandwidth into installing mind as well make purchase ,, hehehe courtesy of MS

[limpid flicker]

I think it's meant for you to install things you have on disc or that you intend to buy soon. You can literally install ANY game from the mobile app, but that doesn't mean you have any way to play them.

[idle spear]

I think MWIII is on premium and WW2 so you can play those for now

[ripe grotto]

Chat tomorrow should I go up to one of the places I applied to and see if they’re still hiring?

[limpid flicker]

What would that do for you? How would you use that information?

[ripe grotto]

This directed to me?

[limpid flicker]

Yes, sorry.

[ripe grotto]

To grab their attention

And hopefully land a job

[west pagoda]

good 'al face to face doesn't hurt

[limpid flicker]

Would never occur to me, but if it works it works.

[ripe grotto]

Okay it’s settled imma go up there tomorrow

[limpid flicker]

Kinda reminds me of how my dad talks about how he got jobs though.

"When I was your age I'd stroll right up to the front desk and ask 'em if they were hiring! I used to walk out of one job and into another the same day!"

My dad is old enough he remembers a world that we consider to be a legend.

[west pagoda]

My dad got the job thru barber in the barbershop getting a haircut, best job dad ever had

[limpid flicker]

I'm sure in those days the barber said "Sonny boy, I like the cut o' your jib! The pay is two bits a week!"

[west pagoda]

barber knew someone who knew someone who was looking for electrical engineer for their company. You never know

[limpid flicker]

Then our fathers tied an onion to their belts (which was the style at the time) and went into town.

[idle spear]

Sounds more interesting than the soul destroying online application processes these days

[limpid flicker]

Some old boomer capitalists say "No-one wants to work anymore," and like "No, Methuselah, you just made it a real pain to find work, and the working conditions and benefits suck."

[short mantle]

I was on Reddit a few weeks ago and I was in a thread where people shared emails they got from their employers. Some of them were insane.

[limpid flicker]

"Hi if you could stop sleeping, and stop having a personal life and just work all that time instead... that would be great. Oh but no extra pay, of course. This is just what we expect."

It gets kinda better once you get off the entry level of jobs, but not better enough.

[short mantle]

One of them was an email this guy received from his superior. She was telling him he’s not a team player because he was taking his full 30 minute lunch, while the rest of his team ate their food in 10 minutes.

[limpid flicker]

That's pretty awful. I was already primed to hear bad things, but... that one shocks me. You see, at least here, there's a legal protection on lunch and break time. You can't even give them up if you want to in many places.

[short mantle]

I’m pretty sure it’s a law here too

[sweet harbor]

I can’t imagine enjoying my lunch food in 10 minutes

[limpid flicker]

The worst story I can tell is years ago I worked in this place where you had to always be accounting for time. There were buttons to press that put you in different states, right? Like "Taking a call" would trigger automatically if you took a call, "Ready For Call" was the default, and you also had stuff like "Post-Call Notes" which was time-limited but...
"Personal Hygiene Time" was the button to press for taking a bathroom break, and you were strictly limited to how much time you could be in that state each day.

[short mantle]

This one takes the cake though. I cropped it to hide the name and email.

[tight tendon]

Hello everyone

[steady pilot]

Those are all tracked. Everyone is like things are great!

[trail harness]

just tried this, and the chocolate flavor is indeed intense

[limpid flicker]

Yeah, when you get up to to 70% you're like... this is just a different thing.

[near salmon]

ah yes the chocolate here appears to be made from chocolate

[trail harness]

they have up to 100% too, which idk would taste good tbh

72 was the lowest I saw of this dark chocolate

[limpid flicker]

To be real with you, I'd try it, but only a small piece and not a whole bar.

[trail harness]

same

[brave wasp]

70+ is the sweet spot, I'll go 80 sometimes tho

[short mantle]

I used to love Lindt, but then Twitter ruined it for me. Apparently they barely add chocolate and most of it is chemicals.

[limpid flicker]

Huh. I used to think that Lindt was a premium brand, now I'm not so sure.

Also, if you don't mind paying extra... Tony's Chocoloney.

[short mantle]

UK Lindt is probably fine

https://vxtwitter.com/wideawake_media/status/2018610552759566626

Wide Awake Media (@wideawake_media)

Chocolate company Lindt is embroiled in a class action lawsuit alleging "significant amounts of lead and cadmium" in its dark chocolate bars.

"That 70% cocoa number is padded with residue and processing byproducts—heavy metals that don't leave your body."

"Over time, they can accumulate in your kidneys and brain."

[limpid flicker]

Yikes.

[trail harness]

I will pay extra if I know what I am getting has quality to back up the higher price, otherwise no.

[trail harness]

Lindt dark chocolate is something I considered buying today. Glad I did not.

[limpid flicker]

Tony's seems from both the taste and what they say about the product like a company who care about both quality and the treatment of the growers.

[short mantle]

Yeah, smart move. I used to buy it all the time.

If you click on the tweet, the top reply has pics of chocolate brands with metals.

[trail harness]

it looks like I avoided all the known problematic products

[limpid flicker]

Absolutely disgusting that they can do that, though. It does not seem like much to ask that your snacks not be dangerous.

[trail harness]

I would assume that some countries crack down really hard on this kind of thing. Or at least I hope so.

[vast dragon]

@half shadow Hi

[limpid flicker]

Hope is nice. I've been losing a lot of mine.

[short mantle]

Europe is a lot stricter than the US.

A lot of our food contains dyes and other chemicals.

[trail harness]

From what I hear, a lot of countries are not just Europe

[half shadow]

Yes?

[trail harness]

I am not worried about dyes tbh.

[short mantle]

They're starting to crack down on them though. Target announced that all of the food sold in their stores cannot contain any dyes.

[trail harness]

Step in the right direction at least

[short mantle]

FDA is banning Red3 due to animal studies showing potential cancer risks.

[median relic]

Reminds me of that video about the amount of "protein" (animal matter) the FDA allows in ground coffee

[trail harness]

well either way, that 72% dark chocolate tastes pretty good with coffee

Partly with genshin. But also black myth wukong. Stellar blade. Marvel rivals

Non-Chinese studios must either break into China (where success means 1.6x growth elsewhere to match) or innovate beyond traditional models

Stellar blade is South Korean but similar results to China on a smaller scale with stellar blade and nikke

So it is normal then

[lean quarry]

is witcher 3 going to come to pc gamepass

and cyberpunk

[near salmon]

did the announcement say Ultimate?

@lean quarry

[lean quarry]

it says ultimate but news say no pc

[spiral shore]

cyberpunk is coming and I think witcher is on already

no PC gamepas

[lean quarry]

they also say pc gamepass will be removed

[near salmon]

I thought ultimate = pc

[spiral shore]

yeah but cyberpunk is will not be on the pc side only console

some games dont go on both sucks but thats how it is

Its not even on the windoes store soo

[near salmon]

looks like we got Cyberpunked

[spiral shore]

its only on Steam and GoG . com and epic store

maybe one day It will show up on the Xbox app store

[near salmon]

does Xbox app store support mods directly?

[spiral shore]

nope I know most mods are in game like fallout ones

[near salmon]

honestly that might be why cyberpunk isn't on it then

[spiral shore]

this is why most buy games like that on steam

fallout games have a instore mod shop I never looked into the cyberpunk ones so IDK lol

[twilit shard]

Wsp

[spiral shore]

I do have cyberpunk on pc just never used it yet since I have it on xbox / ps5

there the mod man lol

[thin nimbus]

It's only possible to stream on tiktok on pc you can't stream on tiktok on console right?

[hearty plinth]

Some ue4 and ue5 games via Xbox app on pc have mod support

[spiral shore]

for xbox stream is twich only PS5 is twitch and youtube for now

not sure why they don't add others like TikTok and kick need a capture card to do the rest

AND Xbox only streams to twitch at 1080p 30 fps as to PS5 does twitch and you tube at 1080p 60 fps

[spiral shore]

glad you said something lol not my area of expertise

[desert sonnet]

[livid bison]

Anyone got any games to recommend on gamepass to try out

[near salmon]

Batman Arkham Knight

[pallid mason]

Hmmmm

Warhammer 40k space marine 2

[hearty heath]

Minishoot Adventures

[thin nimbus]

Is a tv broadcast cough and sneeze button a real thing?

[thin nimbus]

If so why would people care if the broadcaster cough or sneeze without using the button thing ? I mean it's something we all have to do sometimes

[cerulean basin]

It's not

Source: I've worked on live TV broadcasts in the past

That said, the studio I worked at in the US did have a bleep button for swear words

[hearty heath]

https://tenor.com/view/the-amazing-digital-circus-tadc-pomni-swear-swearing-gif-1395148115306519282

This is what I think of when I think of bleeps for swears

[shadow stirrup]

Any of the tom Clancy games

[near salmon]

finally get my Xbox tomorrow

[livid bison]

Okay

[green laurel]

Nice

[near salmon]

torn between spending £100 extra for the X or using that for Requiem

[green laurel]

I recommend the X

[livid bison]

I just switch to Xbox to why I’m asking lol thank you guys for your ideas will check out the games and download them tonight:)

[near salmon]

I did have one but I'm thinking of getting the Series S 1tb as PS5 is my main platform

[green laurel]

ahh

[near salmon]

first order of business, play all the Resident Evil games again

[livid bison]

See I got ps5 pro I don’t see any difference between the consoles I got this Samsung Odyssey G9 curve monitor and someone told me it’s like a gaming monitor it looks great tho everything wide lol not going to lie it was expensive

[shadow stirrup]

If you want a good open world game that looks and feels amazing I highly recommend ghost recon whildlands you won’t be disappointed

[livid bison]

I played that before I enjoy it like break point I also liked

[shadow stirrup]

Both were great to play

[near salmon]

Breakpoint was good if we ignore the whole NFT thing they tried xD

[shadow stirrup]

Splinter cell isn’t a bad series if you like stealth games

[near salmon]

or Resident Evil

[short mantle]

I didn’t like Wildlands, but I loved Breakpoint.

[near salmon]

if you wanna feel bonita, play RE4

[shadow stirrup]

Can I ask why you didn’t like wildlands?

[short mantle]

I thought it was boring.

[livid bison]

See I enjoy gamepass more then PlayStation plus I just wish they had more games on plus to enjoy

[shadow stirrup]

I will say stealth in breakpoint is more rewarding compared to wildlands

[pallid mason]

And the prices were cheaper you know on Xbox

[livid bison]

Don’t understand why every X post there saying plus is worth it vs gamepass im like well I got this on gamepass I got the new games lol my friends on psn don’t understand they rather pay full $70 play it for like three hours then back to a battle royal game

[near salmon]

there's plenty of great games on PS+

[livid bison]

Like I kinda wish they add some old school Tony hawk on PlayStation plus

[near salmon]

I buy my games outright, but I like PS+

[short mantle]

Damn, I didn’t think they were that valuable. All in cash too. A nice payday for Ziff.

[wicked ridge]

ina a bigger place?

or a house?

[near salmon]

I think he's moving to a cardboard box

[wicked ridge]

or in a condor

its always good to move away from apartment lol

[near salmon]

hey I live in an apartment :(+

[wicked ridge]

[green laurel]

[wicked ridge]

you seem fine

[green laurel]

apartment slander

[serene hazel]

I'm going to miss this apartment because everything I need is in walking distance

[serene hazel]

Bigger place

[short mantle]

I live in a house, but my previous two places were apartments. I’m never going back. It’s quiet and no one bothers me. I’ve lived here for two years and I still don’t know my neighbors names.

[idle spear]

I would still go for x tbh. Series s at this point is getting pretty heavy compromises in games releasing now.

[near salmon]

ok are you paying the difference then 😛

but I'll look into it in all seriousness

[near salmon]

I just plan on playing 360 games and The Resident Evils, do I need an X for that?

big AAA games I'll get on PS5

[lapis musk]

is this official server for Xbox?

[near salmon]

yes

[idle spear]

No but you could also find a cheaper second hand Xbox like a One X if that’s all you want from it.

[short mantle]

There’s a checkmark, so yes.

[near salmon]

sadly then I can't play Requiem

[tame pecan]

No

[lapis musk]

do U have server invite of the official server?

[tame pecan]

I’m joking

[short mantle]

This is the official server

[lapis musk]

.

[idle spear]

If you have a PS5 already wouldn’t you play requiem there?

[wary lodge]

Oh yeah I got a new cat and wanted to let y'all know

[near salmon]

I wanna play it again for the achievements lol

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

I would suggest watching the digital foundry video on the comparisons with requiem and see if that bothers you or not playing it on series s.

👋

The weather is good today and to my suprise a game I ordered updated the tracking, I was afraid I would have to cancel it because it would not be sent out it has been a couple of weeks already. that's because it's a very rare and expensive game (need for speed most wanted 2005) I got it for a good price.

For the 360 the older NFS games are more expensive, I guess because it's the best version of those games

[rocky phoenix]

U ever wonder how small we are??
Well lets scale it out...
Take a human compare to earth..earth is pretty massive right? Ok
Take the earth compare to Sun..1.3 million earths can fit the volume of the sun...super massive..ok
Take the Sun compare to the biggest star in the observable known universe...
The Sun becomes the earth in size..
🤯

[finite geyser]

I was actually thinking about similar stuff to that on my way back home just now

[rocky phoenix]

I love space...I geek out it i even watch startalk with Neil degrasse tyson..
Like the star beetlejuice Upper left corner star in Orions belt constellation
Is about to go supernova aka explode and it'll light up the night sky

And since its 600 light-years away...if it exploded in the year 1426...we would see it on earth today

[finite geyser]

I've been into astronomy, while I consider myself an atheist there are just some things that just make you believe there is some higher form of God. I respect other people's beliefs just to be clear for the most part we have allot on this planet that have not been found anywhere else in our solar system. For instance trees.

[rocky phoenix]

Since space is constantly expanding....space totally warps the human mind...things we cant even fathom and were worried about paying bills and boring stuff...just look up in the night sky ppl...u might see a shooting star

[near salmon]

this space too dead

this hill too silent

I think the worst thing I learnt is knowing that even if we could travel at the speed of light we can't even reach the adromeda, ofcourse that would never happen anyway but yeah

U know there's a exoplanet called k2-18b thats 120 light years away nasa discovered...its double the size of earth but all water...milky way has hundreds of solar systems cuz all a solar system is is simply a sun aka massive star with planets orbiting it and moons orbiting those planets...I like to think there's one earth in every solar system

[near salmon]

traveling at the speed of light, I'm gonna make a supersonic man out of youuuuuu

[finite geyser]

I hope the next planned Artemis II launch goes well though

[rocky phoenix]

And thats just our galaxy...one right next to us is also double in size

SO KEWL

[green laurel]

Does this mean i can say to 7 foot people youre still small ha

[finite geyser]

Knowing how big something like the pistol star is in comparison to our sun is actually terrifying

[rocky phoenix]

Traveling at the speed of light wed reach the moon in 1.3 seconds and would reach the edge of the observable known universe in 200 million years

[near salmon]

huh

I was just quoting the queen song lol

[rocky phoenix]

Yeah were tiny like atoms to atoms....were so small we can fit 8 billion of us on this tiny tiny tiny planet

[finite geyser]

Then there is the Stephenson 2-18

[green laurel]

Dont stop me now

[rocky phoenix]

And im saying space facts

[near salmon]

I'm having such a bad time

[wicked ridge]

I wait for the moon landing

[finite geyser]

I guess because you watch star talk that automatically means you watch Brian Cox right? I like him because of how passionate he can be about it

[limpid flicker]

Not me reading that as "Star Trek".

[finite geyser]

I hate that Google confuses the bad Brian Cox with the good one lol

[near salmon]

Brian Moser >

[finite geyser]

I've never seen it

I just like Patrick Stewart

[limpid flicker]

Who is the bad Brian Cox anyway?

[near salmon]

the ice truck killer!

[limpid flicker]

I'm assuming that the one I can think of is the good one. 😅

[finite geyser]

If you look into his controversies... Yeah

[near salmon]

I googled it and was like, eww, agree with that, eww 😭

[finite geyser]

When I was looking up the Brian Cox who covers space I was like omg please don't be true but then I realised it's just Google showing a picture of the guy who covers space and putting the controversies of the actor under it lol

[near salmon]

his first controversy that came up was him dissing a religious book and I was like eh, then I kept reading 😭

[limpid flicker]

Funny thing, I looked up the actor and... uhh, there's no controversies section on his Wikipedia page. Either that or I've finally lost it.

[finite geyser]

You have to actually search up controversies

[near salmon]

i did!

[fiery python]

As a diabetic, I've never once had rage caused by it in all of my 20+ years.

[limpid flicker]

Wild how his Wikipedia page is so sanitised. Actually makes him sound like he has some sound takes.

[fiery python]

However, deGrasse Tyson is a class A butthole.

He's a smart guy and knows his stuff, but as a person, he's a tool.

[near salmon]

I lose track of who good and who bad nowadays

[finite geyser]

I pretty much agree with that take

[near salmon]

seems most celebrities are out of touch

[fiery python]

We once tried to hire him as a guest speaker at a work meet up and his fees and "I'm so special" requirements list were ludicrous.

[limpid flicker]

He thinks that being smart gives him a license to treat others like crap. Popular stereotype about smart people, but he's the best example I can find IRL.

[near salmon]

he's like the non political Elon

^ but Neil is actually smart

There was another story that I can't find now where a college paid him around $100K and he demanded a special dinner on top and mocked all the students that attended like they were stupid when asking him questions, or he refused to answer because he found it beneath him.

[near salmon]

omg sunshine and it's not cold out? let's goooo

[fiery python]

When we tried to book him, the price was around that point, but he wanted air fare on top, hotel on top, all food and drink, a special dinner and gave a long list of things he will and will not do/talk about. We just ignored it and got the guy who created Cards Against Humanity instead and that was a fun day 😄

[finite geyser]

That's horrible🫤 you would expect a guy who knows so much to actually be helpful not humiliate and embarrass someone, I can't really understand why he's like that, I guess it's just some form of gatekeeping and then just using his knowledge to brag about how he is the one who's been saying this," I'm the one with the facts" basically

[near salmon]

the only thing understandable there are the boundaries of what he won't talk about, the rest of is pretentious entitlement

[fiery python]

I understand a set of boundaries, but some were ridiculous. He thinks he's a king.

[limpid flicker]

Things I will not talk about:

• Matter
• Energy
• Interactions between them.
  Anything else is cool.

[near salmon]

you can make any sandwich rn money no issue what sandwich

[limpid flicker]

Is that really a reply or just a new topic? I like a ham and mozarella with pesto.

[near salmon]

you said anything else is cool 😄 xD

[finite geyser]

I have no energy but I don't know what's the matter

[fiery python]

The guy from Cards Against Humanity was like 'You want me to come to your company for a talk? Seriously? I love you guys!' and he just made his own way and hung out for the day.

[limpid flicker]

Your sandwiches aren't made of matter? You do you,, but I don't get it.

[near salmon]

I remember in high school we were meant to organise a mock festival for an exam, and my dumb butt emailed Flo Rida's actual agency lol

that's up there with my love letter to singer Enrique Igelsias for dumb things child me did

[limpid flicker]

Oh same. 😛

[vital hemlock]

Hi gamers

[fiery python]

Hi

[near salmon]

I'm actually excited to get my xbox tomorrow

and replay Reqium

[finite geyser]

You're getting an Xbox too?

[near salmon]

yeah just a 1tb Series S

[finite geyser]

Ohhh fair I just got my series x

[fiery python]

Requiem is one of the best Resi games so far, aside from the original PS1 versions of Resi 2 and Resi 1.

[near salmon]

I can't justify buying a Series x again

I have replayed every RE game i have this week 2,3,4 remake, 8 and 9, only one i can't get into is 7

[fiery python]

Although I've enjoyed 7 and 8 enough, they were just average horror games and I never considered them Resi games (never really have since 4), but 9 is fantastic and full of references for long series fans.

[finite geyser]

I barely played my ps5 ever since I got my gaming pc but because I'm already paying for game pass, it's more like why not

[near salmon]

at the start of the game Grace is online ||reading and chatting about the Bakers and the winters|| which is a cool detail

[fiery python]

I will say, unless you have motion sickness/headache issues, stick with the default view styles it gives you for each character.

I hated the first person mode forced in Village, but playing Grace in first-person is perfect and really adds to the tension. Leon in third-person plays well with the action style gameplay he has.

[limpid flicker]

I like a variety of game devices. The PC for me is the least of them, because there's always that PC jank that everyone tells me isn't real.

[near salmon]

I played village in third person thankfully

[near salmon]

I'm still stuck with that annoying bug on PS5 it's so irritating

[finite geyser]

Is there any references to Jill valentine? I was hoping she would be in the game, spoiler tag ofcourse! If necessary

[near salmon]

||not by name, Claire and Ada show up as labubu gun charms 😭 ||

[fiery python]

Yeah and ||on reddit|| too. 😄

[near salmon]

I just got to the ship in Biohazard and ended up deleting the game, just doesn't interest me sadly

[fiery python]

In earlier builds of the game she was intended to be a playable character. But that was also when it was intended to be open world and multiplayer. I am glad those plans got scrapped.

[limpid flicker]

TBH I've done more "PC Gaming" lol since I got my RoG Ally than in the 20 years prior.

[finite geyser]

LOL me and others thought the voice was recognisable in the trailer but then i found out it's probably just the same voice actress playing another character again

[near salmon]

I actually liked Jill in the second RE movie

[fiery python]

But ||yes, there is a minor reference. You find her S.T.A.R.S. beret in the RPD station.||

[near salmon]

oh I forgot about that lol

[fiery python]

I also loved the ||playful little appearance from Tofu||

[near salmon]

yes lol that was great

[finite geyser]

Sounds like a good move, they do well with linear games from what I've heard it's well known, I hear games like monster hunter still have some issues, this game is beautiful graphically, hopefully she'll be in the next game or dlc rather

[near salmon]

I still feel heartbroken about Lisa Trevor and that was like 30 years ago

[near salmon]

tell Capcom to bring back Sheva, the cowards!

[limpid flicker]

What sort of issues do you hear about MonHun having?

[finite geyser]

That's been debated in the RE community for so long lol

[limpid flicker]

I mean, I don't really love MonHun, but I think it does what it is meant to do.

[finite geyser]

I don't actually know but I saw in a comments section it seems to be a meme at this point, "capcom should make an open world game" when I was watching an re9 short on YouTube, then I saw some people bringing that up

[fiery python]

I'm currently attempting the sub 4 hour, no healing, no blood collecting achievement run.

[near salmon]

I got 4 hours and 25 seconds the other day Rhinne 😭

[fiery python]

Ouch

[near salmon]

there's a PS5 bug rn where every game in your library that's hidden will just show up in your library no matter how many times you hide them.

[limpid flicker]

I kinda feel like MonHun fans love MonHun, and then there are the rest of us... who don't entirely get it. I have played some of Rise, and some of 3 and 4... but despite my best efforts I still don't get it.

[near salmon]

MonHun for me was too much work for too little reward

[limpid flicker]

Like, the incredibly slow movement, the way that gear is the ONLY progression... yeah, not for me.

Also, if you buy MH Rise with the expansion pack they give you late game gear, meaning that there's literally no progression for a large chunk of the game. It does make it easier to get into the game, but it takes out the rewards.

I played through the whole of 1 ⭐ and 2 ⭐ and nothing was an upgrade.

[finite geyser]

I just love soul sacrifice on the vita which some have compared to monster hunter, I guess it's essentially the same thing, I did give MH a go when it was free on ps plus but I never really got that far, soul sacrifice is a definite recommend from me because it's story really draws you in, the music and everything. Unfortunately Japan studio got shut down🫥

[fiery python]

Yeah, that's a franchise I never got into, but can understand why others do.

[limpid flicker]

I'm sorta tempted to try Soul Sacrifice but at the same time do I really wanna buy another game for a platform that is on life support?

[near salmon]

I'm currently installing Ghost Of Yotei

[limpid flicker]

I mean... who KNOWS if the Vita will still be usable at all in a year?

[finite geyser]

isn't the vita already considered dead, it's only kept alive by the community

[near salmon]

did you see Sony cancelling their PC ports for games and releasing a PC controller on the same day

😭 bruh

[serene hazel]

I'm kind of upset that my 1 month gamepass card gave me only 14 days

[limpid flicker]

Life Support to me because the store is still open (they tried to kill it, but didn't) and you can still buy things, and sync trophies.

It's just mostly dead. And as we all should know, mostly dead is slightly alive.

[finite geyser]

Btw for those who are talking right now do you prefer if I turn pings on or off, I guess it's safer to keep them off but I wanted to check

[limpid flicker]

For me I don't care AT ALL.

[fiery python]

Wait, what makes that controller any different to the current Dual Sense (other than the box)?

[near salmon]

I prefer pings, I like to see responses

[near salmon]

from what I read it's just designed for PC use, idk the features

[finite geyser]

Okay thank you for letting me know

[fiery python]

From what I'm reading right now, it's "PC Ready" because it includes a USB cable.

[near salmon]

is that it 😭

[fiery python]

Because wired is the only way you can get the haptics and adaptive triggers to work on PC. If you use it wirelessly you get none of those features at all.

[serene hazel]

Rhinne is it normal for a gamepass gift card to only give 14 days?

[fiery python]

Sounds like that's a trial code.

[serene hazel]

I had 2 days left of ultimate so when I got a core card to renew it it only gave me 14 days

[serene hazel]

I got it on GameStops website though

[finite geyser]

That was a good move from playstation although we do see them still slightly killing it off by removing games every now and then, you have to manually search for them (mystic Ryan on YouTube had covered it)

[fiery python]

Oh wait, did you redeem it while you still had Ultimate left?

[near salmon]

yeah he had 2 days left

[fiery python]

Then it's normal. It converts other tier codes into Ultimate time at a conversion rate as those codes are cheaper.

[limpid flicker]

And actually downloading games is often shaky. And if my memory cards fail, I probably ain't getting another.

[fiery python]

So you'd get 14 days of Ultimate from a 1 month Core/Essential code.

[serene hazel]

Oh.

[fiery python]

If you wanted the full month, you needed to wait until your Ultimate expired.

[serene hazel]

Also to prove It was from a code

I'm so use to calling it core

[limpid flicker]

The idea is that it maintains the monetary value of the code, but in the tier you're currently subscribed to. Unless the new code is a higher tier.

[finite geyser]

Oh yeah that's a big problem with the Vita, I've had it like corrupt on me once or twice, it's a bummer, also they are still generally just so expensive

[serene hazel]

Tbf it does at least give me enough time to finish my saints row achievement hunting session

Still kind of upset I only got half a month from it but it isn't too much of a loss

[limpid flicker]

I've only had corruption once. It corrupted literally mid-save too, so like, yay, I lost all the progress since my last cloud sync.

[finite geyser]

Literally just makes you just want to give up on it and not want to touch it again, my psps have been fine on the other hand i need to transfer my progress over still

[limpid flicker]

Since then I've got into the habit of save-quitting really often, and syncing to cloud. God help me if it fails mid cloud sync I guess? I hope PSN has a system for that.

Like, if it were ME programming it, I'd have it upload the new file to a temp storage, and only replace the old file once the transfer was complete. And maybe, just maybe (I'd have to ask if we can budget the resources) you keep one or more old revisions as a failback.

But that's easy to say now, who knows what they thought of decades ago.

[finite geyser]

That's true, I like that idea though just like how windows factory reset keeps older versions

I think that's different but I get the idea

[limpid flicker]

Thing is, if each user can store... IDK lets say a gig of save data in the cloud... then potentially you're doubling that to store an old revision, and then mulitiplied by however many million users it turns out to be a lot of storage.

And if you wanna keep more than one old version (depends how critical the data is—I'm thinking less of games and more of stuff that needs to be fault-tolerant I guess) then you know, triple instead of double, and the cost gets to be a number you can't ignore.

[fiery python]

One reaon for not allowing access to previous versions of a save file is to stop people doing dupe glitches. Trade an item to a friend, load the old save, get the item back, trade to a friend, load the old save, get item back etc etc

Also why Nintendo excludes certain titles from access to cloud save backups, like Pokémon games.

[limpid flicker]

Ah, you see, I wouldn't allow access in that way if it were me. The old versions would be maintained purely in case of a save file that was corrupted. The user would never know.

It would just be like, we have a way of validating these files and if at any time the newest version for whatever reason ends up being a lemon, you can throw the older revision at them.

I will also say that I think the manual syncs on PS3 / PS4 did allow exactly what you were talking about anyway.

[fiery python]

Yeah, partly why you can't save to USB on PS5 like you could on PS4.

To stop people dupe glitching, modding save files - and also to force people to pay for cloud backups that should be free as standard like they are on all other platforms.

[limpid flicker]

I'd literally stop paying for PSN Plus if cloud were free.

[fiery python]

Something I'm sure Sony have good numbers on and why they don't change it.

[limpid flicker]

It doesn't really offer me anything other than cloud saves... I mean the monthly games are OK, but how often do I care about playing one?

Every time mine goes out in January I'm like "Oh yeah, I still have that."

And then I forget about it for 12 months and am surprised again. 😛

[fiery python]

I had the mid tier at one point and Sony sent me an offer saying I could upgrade to the max one for another £18 (total, not per month), so I thought sure, why not, I'll see what's on there and I can afford to lose that.

Then forgot when my annual renewal came out for the full top tier amount...

[limpid flicker]

Ooof. I don't find the top tier to be even remotely worthwhile. unless I'm mistaken, the only thing it has are PlayStation Classics, and most of them are only streaming.

[fiery python]

I was happy to see them add Resi 2 to that, but sad that it wasn't one of the titles that got upgraded with trophies. That would have made it more rewarding to play a classic I love with a modern feature.

And be interesting to see what parts they link to trophies, as it wasn't a thing that existed back then.

[limpid flicker]

The few classics I do care about I just bought. I may be mistaken, but I think some of them were even free because I had the PS1 Classic on PS3...

[fiery python]

I still remember PS3 launching without a trophy system. I think Uncharted was the first game to have them and then they became a mandated feature for games releasing after a specific date.

Oh actually, I was wrong. Super Stardust HD was the first to get trophies, adding them to the game when the firmware update went out, but Uncharted was the first retail game to get a platinum.

[limpid flicker]

Oh yeah I owned mine before they had that feature too. I remember some older games got updated, and some didn't. I'm still salty about a few that didn't.

R&C Tools of Destruction, Folklore, the first Motorstorm... 😢

There are definitely others too. Those just come to mind.

[near salmon]

I'm falling asleep

finally I might actually be able to sleep more than 4 hours let's goooo

I have an appointment at the emergency dentist tomorrow morning

I apparently still have one that's not come through and on the x-ray it's pointing almost sideways towards other teeth. They said there's a chance it will never come through, but if or when it does, it's gonna be rough.

[little egret]

is game pass the same as xcloud premium yeah? im just getting back to gaming. last device was Xbox 360 but now have odin 2 portal for streaming

[fiery python]

xcloud premium isn't a thing. It's Game Pass Premium.

There's three tiers of Game Pass for console (4 if you include the separate PC option).

Each tier offers cloud streaming, but for specific titles only that are included on that tier.

https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-game-pass/compare

[little egret]

ok I see, thanks. my Internet is pretry good so im looking to give it a shot

[serene hazel]

I started using Bing last night

For the Microsoft rewards points

[little egret]

ultimate is kinda expensive right?

[serene hazel]

It's $30 a month

[fiery python]

Depends on your personal financial situation.

[serene hazel]

I do hope they bring it back down to $20 a month

[fiery python]

Expense is relative to the buyer.

[little egret]

true

[fiery python]

Highly doubt that will happen. Closest you'd get would be a new tier with less on it.

[serene hazel]

Hopefully we get that then

[little egret]

its my only way get back into gaming. I see that it can try premium for 1 euro for thr first couple of weeks

[fiery python]

I mean, we did with Premium.

[little egret]

is the only the library of games?

[serene hazel]

I'm fine with core/essential tbh because I only really play the games I bought with the occasional gamepass achievement game

[fiery python]

You only get access to specific games and each tier offers different games.

With Essential offering the least, Ultimate the most and Premium in the middle.

[little egret]

ok I see. well I guess I can only play one game at at a time!

hopefully essential has some good ones

[serene hazel]

I'm going to get a free game from GameStop today thanks to rewards points

[fiery python]

You can check at https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass/games and see what each tier offers and toggle the cloud filter to see which ones are on cloud.

[little egret]

thanks

[serene hazel]

I want to buy a brand new game that came out this year later this month

Or maybe even last year

I normally buy older games/games that came out 5-6 years ago or so

And sometimes brand new games

[idle spear]

Fatal frame 2 remake is out next week I almost forgot. Might try that out

Seems like they are actually calling it that here this time and not project zero

[finite geyser]

🔜

[idle spear]

How much was that?

That’s the expensive one isn’t it

[finite geyser]

£25

I got really lucky

[idle spear]

Seems like a good price then for 25

[finite geyser]

I just hope it arrives in good condition

It's wild how expensive it is though

That listing I just showed is the disc only

I placed the order on the 15th of February, like a few days ago I contacted Amazon support just to make sure I don't miss the refund date if it doesn't end up arriving or not getting sent out, I had no option to message the seller so that was my only choice

I was reading there is a black edition of most wanted with more content but not on the 360 for some reason

[finite geyser]

Oh I was confused about that actually, I was hoping it would include everything from the black edition

I guess then that's no real reason to get it I think it supports achievements but that's it

Over the PS2, og Xbox version I mean

[idle spear]

Apparently it doesn’t only on PS2 and Xbox. GameCube got skipped over it seems for black edition.

[finite geyser]

Hmm well the quality must be better at least

[lean quarry]

my xbox turned off out of nowhere and i didn't receive any message... should i be worried?

[idle spear]

Yeah still nice to have on the 360

Ps2 black edition seems to be around £70 on ebay lol

[finite geyser]

Sheesh

I do actually have it for the PS2 but not the black edition, also I would never pay that much

[serene hazel]

You know what I'm moving soon so I want to get myself a more rare 360 game

[finite geyser]

I almost got an 8bitdo a while back to play my ps2 again but instead I opted for a 360 controller

[serene hazel]

Simpsons, NFS most wanted, deadpool

I'm definitely going to get spider-man 3 this month

[finite geyser]

I sold Deadpool for the PS3 I don't entirely regret it because I platinum the game before doing so, which Simpsons game btw?

[serene hazel]

Just the Simpsons game

The one on 360

[weak kiln]

How it feels to get payed but none of the games I wanna buy are on sale

[serene hazel]

It's like $60-70 physically

[serene hazel]

What is this from? Lol

[vital hemlock]

Hi what are you gamers this day?

[idle spear]

I’ve got the simpsons game on ps3 and 360

[weak kiln]

Enchanted (2007 I think)

[finite geyser]

I've played that but I borrowed it, I have the other Simpsons games that I own and almost sold but they wouldn't take it in because it was too scratched, imagine my reaction knowing it's a PS2 game ofcourse they get heavily scratched lol anyway alot of me trying to sell rare games to cex is my biggest regret, from now on I probably won't

[weak kiln]

It’s a fantasy comes to modern world musical (the fantasy is like drawn like a Disney movie

[serene hazel]

I regret selling some games to gamestop

[serene hazel]

From the clip it seems like something that would come from meet the spartans or disaster movie

[idle spear]

I’ve got most of the simpsons games here I think

[serene hazel]

The one I want the most is the arcade game

[idle spear]

I’ve got that arcade one on ps3 before it got delisted

[finite geyser]

You're gonna make me go digging through my collection now, but I don't own the 360 Simpsons game

[serene hazel]

Come on limited run please make a Simpsons collection

[fallen fractal]

anyone but LRG please

[serene hazel]

I know "limited run bad" but I do enjoy there digital collections

[serene hazel]

I know

[finite geyser]

Did you hear that the Devs who made the Simpsons hit and run are now back

And other games like prototype

[serene hazel]

I was moreso just talking about the releases like the gex collection and marvel maximum

[idle spear]

Two worst ones probably simpsons wrestling and skateboarding

[serene hazel]

I have Bart vs the space mutants.

[fallen fractal]

Activision please for the love of g-d get them to work on Prototype 3

I never got into prototype

[serene hazel]

I want them to bring back the Scarface game

[finite geyser]

I plat the infamous games though they were fun

[fallen fractal]

I was a big fan of InFamous back on PS3 so prototype was also smth I really liked

[serene hazel]

Either as a remaster or a remake or just a rerelease

[fallen fractal]

probably won't unfortunately cause I bet the license is expensive asf

[serene hazel]

Funny enough the people that worked on action 52 for the nes worked on the PSP Scarface game

[serene hazel]

One can only dream

[finite geyser]

I know on YouTube at least last I saw it alot of people made them compete

[fallen fractal]

my biggest dream is Mass Effect 4

[fallen fractal]

the gameplay is similar but obviously still different games. both solid

[fiery python]

Infamous Second Son is why I bought my PS4.

I loved the Infamous games.

[serene hazel]

This one sounds silly but I dream they would bring back the blades dashboard

[fallen fractal]

Hey Bob

[meager yacht]

so ps is now only on ps no pc ? wonder what made them do that

[fiery python]

Low sales

[meager yacht]

really ??? its that bad ?

[fallen fractal]

probably wanna sell more consoles, since its kinda their main moneymaker

[finite geyser]

For me, it has ALWAYS been uncharted infamous however is probably a close second

[fallen fractal]

the older games yeah, lazy ports for old games usually dont sell well

the newer ones sold well but i guess they decided its not worth it

[weak kiln]

Guys this Minecraft texture pack looks so good

[serene hazel]

There was a fake Scarface rerelease on steam not too long ago but it was really shady

[fiery python]

They release the games on PC too late and people's interest has moved on. Spider-Man 2 sold 16m on PS5 and 700K on Steam.

[weak kiln]

Do you guys like it?

[fallen fractal]

true, but its still free money, porting games isnt hard usually

but whatever

[fiery python]

It's not easy either.

[meager yacht]

i guess people dont like to wait and thats there main problem

[fallen fractal]

absolute fire

[fiery python]

On console you have one or two default specifications to optimise the game for. On PC you have thousands of possible combinations of hardware.

[finite geyser]

I don't mind waiting if it means it'll be well optimised

[idle spear]

I heard Spiderman 2 wasn’t a great port either at launch might be better now though

[fallen fractal]

yeah the port was really buggy and unoptimized

[serene hazel]

What I love about space ghost coast to coast is that they took characters from a show that was 30 years old at the point coast to coast was made, made the main character have a talk show where he and his biggest villains of the original show are co-workers. And they make them say the most random most out of pocket stuff

It's also the first adult swim show too

[finite geyser]

Space ghost?

Oh that meme you sent 😭

[serene hazel]

Lol

[finite geyser]

I need to watch that, it was funny

[weak kiln]

Would you guys rather have 2 hotdogs or 2 hotdogs but no hotdogs

[finite geyser]

2 hotdogs

[serene hazel]

would you rather have 1 dolla or 2 dolla

[fallen fractal]

I'll take two dogs

[finite geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/fantastic-mr-fantastic-invisible-woman-human-torch-the-thing-gif-6293013181369359279

Make it 4 and we have a deal

[serene hazel]

I'll give you 4 if you give me 5

Do we have a deal?

[fallen fractal]

I'll give you 6 Dollas and 36 cents

[finite geyser]

If I didn't know how to count then yes

[weak kiln]

If you have 20 bucks and I have 10 dollars then give me the 20 dollars and I’ll give you the 10 which makes you have 10 dollars and I have 20

Finance

[serene hazel]

Halla halla get dolla

Inspector gadget getting 5 dollars and Arab money plays In the background

[meager yacht]

time to finish blackops series from start

[idle spear]

I’m up to ghosts now, been running start to finish since December

[meager yacht]

oh nice u starting from the start ?

[idle spear]

Yeah COD1 up to BO6

We don’t talk about BO7 campaign

[meager yacht]

i think ive only finished cod mw2 and cod 1 i know im close in a few

[meager yacht]

theres no BO7

multi only

though it does have that guy from heroes

[idle spear]

United offensive I completed for the first time, I’ve done all the others before

Big red one as well, decent spin off on PS2 and Xbox

[meager yacht]

i was gonna do that one next but decided on starting with black ops

black ops 4 doesnt really have anything in it story wise right ?

[idle spear]

Has no campaign at all

Only reason to play BO4 now is zombies

[meager yacht]

3 has awesome multi

[idle spear]

BO1 and 2 great campaigns

[serene furnace]

Good morning.

[meager yacht]

morning

[serene furnace]

I have no idea what I wanna play on my PC this morning.

[meager yacht]

ok looks like ive done black ops 1 b4

2011

[serene furnace]

What's "b4?"

[meager yacht]

before

[serene furnace]

Oh. pfft.. duuh. lmao sorry.

[idle spear]

World at war worth playing first as well as it ties into bo1

[meager yacht]

weird ive only done 15 achievements

[serene furnace]

Im still waking up.. im slow rn lol.

[subtle stump]

What’s up with Microsoft obsession with AI?

[meager yacht]

who knows

[subtle stump]

They have received so much backlash that they are now being called “microslop”

[meager yacht]

been on x ?

utube?

[fiery python]

Tons of companies have focus on AI because so many people are obsessed by it and use it daily.

[subtle stump]

Yes I have😂

[fiery python]

Yet somehow Microsoft are getting the worst of it, just because their new lead has an AI background.

[meager yacht]

lots of awful people that are trying to make u game on there console of choice

[fiery python]

Almost daily at work we get emails asking if/when we're going to put AI into our products. People are obsessed.

[serene hazel]

Today hasn't been good at all.

[sharp fossil]

Anyone like cookies?

[meager yacht]

ahh cool does black ops 1 mission select useing deletes after u finish it it says im finished but when i go to mission select its all empty but 1 mission

[subtle stump]

I believe the population is currently split between we want it & don’t want it.

[subtle stump]

What are Microsoft doing wrong with it for people to hate it so much

[fiery python]

They hired a new Xbox lead with a background in AI and think she's not enough of a real gamer to run Xbox.

Also she's a woman of colour, so add sexism and racism into it, which is often an underlying source of their dislike and trolling.

[meager yacht]

the worse thing she did was answer that person back on x now a number of people on x are gonna go crazy when xbox dont make there games xbox only

[subtle stump]

I saw something about her on X. Saying that her Xbox account is a dummy account that was given trophies just so she can seem like she is a gamer💀

[meager yacht]

and yes they took what she said out of context "we hear u" doesnt mean xbox games are gonna be exclusive again lol

[meager yacht]

i'm not sure if shes there to fully get involved in the gaming side
doesnt mean she cant get a xbox account and start learning about the games

[fiery python]

She has an account and plays games.

People are just dumb

[meager yacht]

i think its was more about when it was created

[subtle stump]

Yeah

[idle spear]

Sounds like you lost your save it will only delete the checkpoints replaying a mission

[lean quarry]

i moved to pc

with gamepass of course

[meager yacht]

maybe ill put it on my 360 it might be there ?

[idle spear]

It runs a lot better on the 360

Port on ps3 has a lot of frame drops

[open flume]

Things can be explained to people, but things cannot be understood for people

[meager yacht]

when i heard that i thought it ment we are listening which i guess every company should be doing but that never ment we will 100% do that

why when even big new game sites got to it i was kinda like wtf

[open flume]

because its xbox so everyone by law has to report anything that can be construed as even slightly negative

[serene hazel]

Today sucked.

[fiery python]

Xbox can do no right and when they do, they do it wrong.

[open flume]

every time

[meager yacht]

u know something wrong when they never mention anything about what the console can do most of those people dont even own a xbox

[vocal gorge]

I wish the whole exclusives thing across consoles could end but it seems Xbox may be the only ones actively making progress on that while PlayStation (they did offer PC ports but now seem to be dropping them) and Nintendo seem to be stuck in the past or something. Either they do it or they don't and if its a don't then we go right back to where things once were when consoles had exclusives. I'm still kind of mad about the PlayStation news but I guess it is what it is

[open flume]

much like here when very intelligent people come in to troll and we say "just go play your xbox and stop" and they go "lol i dont even own an xbox"

[meager yacht]

also being negative = views doesnt matter where u are thats why its hard to trust people on the net

[open flume]

which ps news, sub?

[olive acorn]

free game play today?

[meager yacht]

the thing that worries me the most in the future is price i think a lot of gamers are gonna be priced out of consoles so xbox is making the right move having there games everywhere

[fiery python]

One of them is AC Unity. Not seen news on the others yet.

[olive acorn]

ok

[green laurel]

Sonic racing crossworlds is one

[fiery python]

Most announcements tend to be around 2pm or 3pm UK time. It's 1:34pm now.

[vocal gorge]

about them stopping releasing single player PC ports. Was covered in chat yesterday, though I still don't know to what extent it is true but it sucks as that means people would have to go out of their way again to potentially buy a PS5 (or future PlayStation console) in order to play their exclusives again. Something I certainly have no intention of doing. Too heavily invested on PC to go back to PS these days only for a handful of exclusives per year

[fiery python]

Ah, seems it's Black Desert, Sonic Racing: Crossworlds and AC Unity

[open flume]

ah gotcha

[steady pilot]

There is too much money to be made from releasing everywhere. I imagine Sony will backtrack or release games eventually. They are probably concerned about Microsoft’s shift to pc and the steam machine. I’m just glad stellar blade came to pc and shift up is working on self publishing. The other Sony games I’m not interested in so far

[magic axle]

no idea who was thinking that wolverine would come to pc this year anyway

[green laurel]

Not this year no but it would sometime. Now eh who knows

[steady pilot]

I like marvel but the wolverine game hasn’t grabbed me. I imagine after a year it will come tonpc.

[meager yacht]

i got grok and copilot talking to each other 🤣

[green laurel]

When they start talking in their own language that you cant understand be worried

[meager yacht]

😅

[vocal gorge]

I built quite the collection of PS releases on PC. Don't quite have them all but found most of them to run pretty well and to be enjoyable. Would have been looking forward to playing games like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine (even though that is a much later release as it is yet to even feature on PS5) and now both of those are up in the air. Luckily the new Kena game that got announced is still releasing on PC afaik anyway

[magic axle]

they do that time to time

[meager yacht]

its worse when grok starts sounding like me

kinda creepy

[steady pilot]

I think ghost of yotei severely underperformed and that also led to this decision. But also could be strategy and still release a year later. Most things eventually come to pc.

[vocal gorge]

still a game I'm sure many would have been looking forward to playing on PC with the extra features that usually get added for said release. Going to wait and see ofc but mildly frustrated is maybe the best way to put how I feel about this at the moment

[south beacon]

Apparently the game sold super well on PS5

It beat launch sales of the original game

[steady pilot]

Audience on ps5 probably more loyal to the franchise than the audience on pc

[south beacon]

I've had a minor interest in the game but out my mind on trying it out after a year

[magic axle]

gta6 will make consoles sales going up 200% like gta5 did

[south beacon]

Probably. GoT was at least one game that sold people onto PS5

They might back track on the PC stuff eventually

Market is always changing and the cost for porting to PC is actually pretty low (though I've seen the numbers and it's still a high amount)

There's some demand for these games

[steady pilot]

Yah it’s driving people to get ps5 pros even. I just have 0 interest in gta6.

[south beacon]

And Spider Man 2 imo wasn't considered to be all that great

[south beacon]

Same here

My interest is leveled to seeing where that game goes

But I don't like playing games that are very provocative

[vocal gorge]

Didn't Spider-Man 2 get some content that was expected to release as DLC later on cut after release?

[south beacon]

I get hate from one friend for making God of War my GOTY in 2018 over rdr2

[south beacon]

We don't know the full story but it was planned at some point.

[dim roost]

oh hell nah my fan popped

it exploded D:

[south beacon]

I don't know what led to it being cut, since one of the dlc proposals was including Beetle

If I had to guess, reincorporated into the final game

But I think Wolverine was a game a LOT of people were interested in on PC

If you want to hear a massive headache, Valve will likely launch something with their Steam Machine, and whatever it is will turn heads and be PC exclusive or Steam only

[magic axle]

what i think needs to be done is rewrite of windows from ground up because so much unneeded code thats still there from dos days

[vocal gorge]

even though it is two very different stories if the gameplay is anything like the Spider-Man games I would have been very interested in playing it on PC for sure but perhaps I'm jumping too far ahead and hyping myself up for something it might not be

[magic axle]

I wasn't a fan of the spider-man games

[south beacon]

Maybe. Who even knows? (It was rhetorical)

Chances are Wolverine might get a 2 year window

But the game will likely sell very well on PS5. I think to a point that people will almost prefer to go there

The other option is that PlayStation might do a PC launcher

They are experimenting with it

DS2 and Ghost of Tsushima featured shared trophy lists for PS5 and PC

[jade trench]

My god bro 4 hours i cant wait for marathon

[hearty plinth]

I still have yet to complete ghost of tsushima. I wonder how that would relate to ghost of yotei

[idle spear]

I need to do the ps5 version of it, not played it since on ps4

[wicked ridge]

Why is slowmode on when we that low rate writing ?

Is it always on ?

[fiery python]

Because it's not a dynamic system and if it were to lower when it got quiet, spammers would wait until then to start spamming.

It's only set to 5 seconds.

[wicked ridge]

Ok

[idle spear]

I wouldn’t be too hopeful it ever comes to PC, best not to set yourself up for disappointment. I doubt Sony will release any sort of statement on if they are or not bothering with PC anymore, we will just notice either Nixxes closing or nothing else releasing this year on PC would be the obvious call

[hearty plinth]

Hopefully yotei will get a pc port

[winter stratus]

Hello

[fiery python]

I need this game.

[hearty plinth]

What game is that

[fiery python]

It’s not released yet.

https://www.tiktok.com/@parasol_corp

[hearty plinth]

It looks fun

[dark yoke]

Never hype yourself until you know for sure or else disappointment

[south beacon]

Oh

[vocal gorge]

yeah, that used to be how I was around game releases but for some reason this one slipped through 😅 Sometimes I can even become indecisive about what games I want to buy

[south beacon]

Completes the game and iki island. I debated on making it one of my NG+ runs this year and getting Legends done

[hearty plinth]

I still have yet to complete the first area

[south beacon]

Yeah it's a long game

[hearty plinth]

It's more backlog

[south beacon]

I got that and Death Stranding at the same time. The ironic thing is that I was more hyped with playing GoT, and when I did both I enjoyed DS more

[hearty plinth]

Than not wanting to complete it

[south beacon]

So I want DS2 over yotei

[vocal gorge]

really enjoyed that game. Those maybe playing it for the first time on Switch 2 will hopefully find it fun too

[sterile sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCU-woy4BPo new gameplay for fh6 in a few minutes!

[south beacon]

Same. It MIGHT be a title I would do on Switch 2.

[hearty plinth]

I still have yet to play kena

[south beacon]

It's on a different kind of backlog list, a wishlist

It has been part of a larger wishlist I started in 2021, but I had long forgotten about the game

I also had my mind on Shadow of the Colossus recently, so I though about going through that game again, maybe even play Last Guardian this year

[dry grotto]

Good morning y'all:)

Hopefully y'all still doing well all is good👍

Then look for games with touch control support, or buy a controller.

[sharp knoll]

Help me

Ok

[fiery python]

But we can't help with unofficial/unauthorised apps/extensions here.

[sharp knoll]

Bro I literally spent 70 cents on premium

[fiery python]

Okay and?

Go search online or get help from youtube or something.

Today I'm looking into doing a video game pick up

I got at a local target a special remake

[hearty heath]

Docked

Already released too

[fiery python]

https://www.xboxachievements.com/news/warhammer-40000-speed-freeks-racing-to-xbox-2026/

[south beacon]

How does everyone feel about RE4Make?

[fallow moat]

So many releases today.

[fiery python]

https://youtu.be/OgAMOfYGllY

[idle spear]

I really enjoyed it

[fallow moat]

Never played any REs, so I got nothing to say.

[south beacon]

Should I push for that or RE2Make

Or a different RE game?

[idle spear]

I heard they took the drm off the PC version and it’s running a lot better now

[idle spear]

I would start from the beginning if you are not in a rush

[south beacon]

I'm going to get the PS5 version

[fiery python]

Requiem

[hearty plinth]

I like it. Better than re3 remake

[south beacon]

People recommended both, and they are principally different

[south beacon]

Re3make was standalone expansion

Re2 pushes horror first while re4 is action first

I also get told RE7 from time to time

[idle spear]

RE2 introduces the characters you meet in RE4 so I’d at least play that first

[south beacon]

Okay

[fiery python]

RE3 Remake isn't an expansion. It's the third part of the original trilogy of games.

[south beacon]

I'll have to track down a copy of that for either PS4 or PS5, but I'm pushing for the PS4 version

[south beacon]

Oh I know, I just meant in the manner it was made.

The unfortunate part of that game was including a co op mode

But that doesn't have a trophy list right?

[hearty plinth]

I just didn't like re3 remake cause the nemesis was mostly scripted compared to Mr. T in re2 remake

[fiery python]

The game or the mode?

[idle spear]

I still liked RE3 remake but a lot missing from the original

[hearty plinth]

Like the clocktower

[fiery python]

There isn't any co-op in Resi 3 though, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

[hearty plinth]

I think talking about Merc mode?
