[final mauve]

He’s 45 and still playing games.
And still knows his CompTIA+ skills

[hasty umbra]

My first PC was a hand me down ZX Spectrum. I learned how to first program in Basic.

[final mauve]

He’s as big on cable organization and technology preservation as I am

My mom used to game too. She loved playing Diablo!

Then theres me, the nerd who knows more than both of those OLD people🤣😅

My first game was on a CRT Monitor, and PC my dad made he took with him.
And my first game, was Half Life, via his original CD

[lean cedar]

I'm at the stage where the sins of my youth are now paying dividends in aches and pain. I've all but managed to ruin my right wrist due to m+k gaming to the point where I'm controller only now for games.

[final mauve]

I switched to trackball and an ergo keyboard 2 years ago. Never came close to carpal or any pain

[lean cedar]

yeah, I use a trackball with my left hand now. Works well for work. Gaming, not so much

[final mauve]

Im pretty good with the trackball, do you have pointer precision on?
Also id keep the sensitivity through settings at a mostly low value

[lean cedar]

split keyboard too. An Iris, which really is quite good once you get used to it

[final mauve]

Agreed! I cant do mechanical keyboard, too bulky for me. I like my keyboard a lot

Uugghh I should just get the Action Sack

Fuck it. The RX-9070 can wait

LEEROY JENKINS!!!
(I know the bit was staged)

[lean cedar]

eh, I grew up playing consoles (Atari 2600 onward) so controllers have always worked for me. I've done the k+m but am fine with controller. Most games don't leave you at a disadvantage these days. Also, good. stay away from the money pit that is mechanical keyboards unless you have generational wealth. It's not for the fiscally responsible

[final mauve]

I got a mechanical from a friend once. It was brand new, he just got the wrong one.
Aaaand one of the keys were getting stuck

My main keyboard? Smooth as butter to actuate each key, comfortable, and wasnt expensive either

[lean cedar]

I bought all the fixings to assemble some of mine from scratch. Once you find the right switches and keycaps, nothing else will do

but, that said my current keyboard is really for work alone. It's not designed for gaming

[earnest kestrel]

Hey guys, why can't I join the game?

[past wadi]

Do not talk about the closed playtest in public channels. You are under NDA. Stick to the NDA channels only please. @worldly pier

[past wadi]

What do you mean? Are you a part of the closed technical playtest?

[worldly pier]

I’m not in the NDA channel, i’ve been waiting days to get in

And I didn’t even say anything that isn’t publicly known

[kindred vigil]

I'm not clicking dat!!!

[worldly pier]

u should

trust me it’s safe

[stable adder]

Hey guys, I’ve been following this game since the teaser first dropped in 2023. And MISSED THE PLAYTEST, does anyone know if they plan on doing another

[civic valley]

That has not been currently stated

[marsh ravine]

LOL

[clear thorn]

So, the reset with new improvements will be implemented at 19 utc?

[civic valley]

10 AM Pacific Standard Time, yes

[worldly pier]

Oh okay word

[hexed rampart]

just checked my mail and got accepted 3days ago without knowing kekw

[civic valley]

Hm unsure if that's NDA actually

[worldly pier]

Nah it’s not

[civic valley]

okay good lol

[worldly pier]

It’s public knowledge atp

bruh can i just get in the nda channel already these mfs haven’t seen my request yet and it’s been well over 24 hrs

[civic valley]

It's done manually, so

[worldly pier]

Should’ve been added in the first place, I had already linked my bungie + steam + discord

[civic valley]

Pretty sure they don't have automation for it

[quaint bane]

its been 5 days for me and im still not in nda chat

[worldly pier]

Lmao ong bro how am I supposed to talk about anything

[inland egret]

I got selected without knowing bruh 😭

[civic valley]

there'll no doubt be a public thing at some point

[idle vapor]

Always check your emails lol. I got accepted whilst i was on holiday but i got to play when i got home

[novel tree]

theres literally only 60k people in the server it cant be that hard

[worldly pier]

yeah can’t be that difficult to automate

[novel tree]

just be faster its not that hard bruh

[worldly pier]

fr devs lock in

[novel tree]

bruh im just tryna play some bf6 before i gotta go to school and this mfer just crashed on me. L game why did I buy it

[worldly pier]

Classic

they’ve already moved on to bf7 sry bro

[sudden badge]

Any rumours on release date?

[hasty umbra]

2026

[worldly pier]

cap

[exotic hamlet]

2029

[sudden badge]

That’s what I’ve heard as well

[worldly pier]

oh shit nvm 2026 is right around the corner

[hasty umbra]

It was much sooner but then the INCIDENT. occurred regarding [REDACTED]

[worldly pier]

for some reason i thought 2026 was two years away

[hasty umbra]

ARC Raiders is out soon. LMAO. Same time the extended test for this current phase ends.

Funny choice to extend tests to 30th.

[nocturne dove]

Where do u get 60k from

[novel tree]

server list

[nocturne dove]

311k members here

[novel tree]

oh thats online mb

[sudden badge]

Has that “incident” been amended? You would hope the person in question got what he was owed

Or she

[hasty umbra]

I hope she did too, considering said artist is my friend.

[worldly pier]

Lmao how do you amend an incident that built upon the whole foundation of the game

[hasty umbra]

I'm unsure how Bungie settled the matter.

[sudden badge]

Money talks

[hasty umbra]

I know she didn't want to work for bungie after...

[worldly pier]

They’d have to redesign the entire game frick that

[hasty umbra]

I cannot blame her.

[nocturne dove]

You are not my manager 😒

[elder wharf]

why would they have to do that

[night quiver]

Im a manager

[worldly pier]

cuz weren’t the designs stolen

[hasty umbra]

Design language was uh. 'borrowed' from an artist on twitter.

[sudden badge]

Hmmm, I don’t think you can patent a design style but the designs being stolen are obviously a problem

[elder wharf]

there were a few assets stolen

[worldly pier]

i thought a lot more was

[nocturne dove]

Yk it takes like no time at all to fix that? It isnt like they painted assets individually

[elder wharf]

no, people love to exaggerate tho. The art style has existed for a very long time

[sudden badge]

I don’t think it’s the time to fix it but the damage from plagiarism unfortunately

[nocturne dove]

Isn't the first time its happened, people forget about it easily enough

[upbeat musk]

Is the nda channel a thing or just vapor channel? 😄 5 days later, still no sign for me

[night quiver]

Fake

[sudden badge]

Exactly

[inland egret]

Lol yeah

[night quiver]

Nda channel never existed

[worldly pier]

Lmao ong

[novel tree]

did you watch sanda yet are you awake now

[elder wharf]

i finally got to play today, and without breaking nda im pretty disappointed...

[night quiver]

What

[worldly pier]

think we can make our own nda channel quicker

[novel tree]

wrong person :3

[quasi pollen]

NDA

[night quiver]

Im not disappointed its been the most fun thing ive played in a while

[worldly pier]

saying you’re disappointed is not breaking NDA surely ??

[elder wharf]

its fine, its just kinda boring. I will be playing arc raiders for a long time tho

[worldly pier]

i like marathon

[night quiver]

I will NOT play arc, looks boring

[worldly pier]

def a contender

[novel tree]

@night quiver i thought you were sekuchi :\

[quasi pollen]

Arc is for children, Marathon is for adults

[sudden badge]

Arc looks great but both games are different and the pacing is different

[night quiver]

I am

[novel tree]

other guy

[night quiver]

So tag the other guy😭

[novel tree]

I DONT KNOW HOW TO SPELL SEKUCHI

[night quiver]

Sekiguchi

[novel tree]

also I dont wanna bother bro rn

[night quiver]

But you'll bother me? Lol

[novel tree]

yep! :3

[elder wharf]

its a shame i probs wont play much more of marathon because i adore the world building, art and everything but arc makes me feel like im in a movie

[hasty umbra]

Guess someone let that sink in.

[final mauve]

Aint no bother in talking to people and asking genuine questions🙂
Talk is cheap, use it often

[mild mulch]

have bungie said there’s gunna be an api for app / web dev like vault management and stuff

[hasty umbra]

Funny you ask.

[novel tree]

Do you think you're living a lie? Whenever someone smiles at you or says hello, that they're faking their kindness?

[hasty umbra]

https://github.com/DestinyItemManager/marathonitemmanager.com

All of it's placeholder for now but lmao

[trim nest]

here's the thing about arc raiders tho
at least it releases on friday

[final mauve]

Im already a narc🤣

[novel tree]

ah

[worldly pier]

arc raiders is also lit as fk, marathon is good but needs work fs

[final mauve]

Yeah man i have a resting bitch face too, and i hate working in teams. Teams are fake

[mild mulch]

for some reason i didn’t think the third party devs between destiny and marathon would overlap haha, tbh i just wanna make something to mess around with

[wary dagger]

tuff

[novel tree]

ok

[hasty umbra]

I mean, lets be honest, DIM destroys the official item manager. So MIM should be great.

DIM and MIM. LMAO

What about MVM Marathon Vault Manager. Not Man Versus Machine.

[mild mulch]

yeah i think it might be more important here too, having to set up a loadout after losing sucks

[final mauve]

Man Virtual Memory

[hasty umbra]

VLM Vault Loadout Manger?

[twilit crystal]

Thursday

[worldly pier]

so excited for arc

as long as i don’t. have to play Tarkov to get my extraction shooter fix im happy

[final mauve]

Arc seems fun! Again, my only nitpick was how the camera and using it with cover felt

I preordered the base edition

[worldly pier]

it is a little clunky when trying to peak over while crouched behind cover

but peaking angles left right in third person isn’t bad if you switch the angle

[trim nest]

even better

[twilit crystal]

Same, just finished pre installing it ready for thursday morning, i never got in any of the marathon tests so havent played it yet but im hyped for its full release as well when ever that will be but for now ill be playing the hell out of arc 🤣

[worldly pier]

Marathon is good id love to share my thoughts more but NDA :/

[oak anchor]

Arc is gonna be available to play on Thursday?

[twilit crystal]

Yes, 10am uk time

[oak anchor]

Oh shoot yea it’s the 30th

[hasty umbra]

I shared it in a survey.

[vagrant goblet]

There really should be a need for an MVM app created outside of the actual app. Bungie themselves should work the vault menu into a very sophisticated, organized section of menuing.

[hasty umbra]

I like the idea yeah.

[hasty umbra]

Honestly. I mentioned that leaning should be a thing in the survey.

I felt it was a needed layer of skill for marathon.

If runners are mercs, they would know how to lean and peek.

[vagrant goblet]

Fr

[hasty umbra]

No image perm noises.

[sudden badge]

Yeah I hear you, I wish I could say more without breaking the NDA but from what I “hear” the games play completely differently - but the immersion of arc is definitely something brilliant

[hasty umbra]

We got a shitty bot here.

Images point to crypto garbage.

[shadow sentinel]

Am I allowed to talk about the game in this channel or no

[worldly pier]

arc raiders immersion is insane

No u can’t share details abt the game publicly

[hasty umbra]

Only stuff that's public knowledge.

[dawn creek]

I'm gonna enter solo queue while doing my homework, let's see if I'll join a match before I complete 1 full task

[worldly pier]

Lmao are queue times slow at this hour

I’m at the office can’t play rn :/

[sudden badge]

It is - just don’t think it will be as competitive as marathon seems to be I think it’s a lot slower pace

[dawn creek]

There's an ARC Raiders server if you really wanna talk abt it btw ^^

[dawn creek]

They're always slow...

[worldly pier]

They’re fairly quick for me in the evening (est)when I play

[dawn creek]

for me it always tends to take up to 3-5 mins

[nocturne dove]

whens reset

[worldly pier]

couple hrs

[nocturne dove]

zz precision estimations

[worldly pier]

lol

[dawn creek]

Why did they extend it for like 2 days? To make changes? Or cause of ARC Raiders lmao

[worldly pier]

They wanna test the backend more I guess

stress test

[dawn creek]

Anyway I hope this game succeeds, but I have to admit it's not looking too good😔

[nocturne dove]

couldn't tell you

game finds new reasons to eat shit whenever I fix it

😭

[dawn creek]

Hope this doesn't break the NDA but like there ARE things I enjoy in this game, but I've seen way more negativity than positivity

Let's hope Bungie locks in

[sudden badge]

It could be worse - I’m praying this game succeeds as I absolutely love what I’ve seen, but there is definitely a poor connotation with it

[nocturne dove]

Honestly from the sessions I've had it's been enjoyable, I'm just saltier than the 🥦 errors I get served or game corruptions I get too

[dawn creek]

Idk if I can say this BUT I've had a glitch where my mouse js moves at like 10 FPS while the game runs normally, idk what it is and it doesn't happen often but when it does happen it can take a while for it to stop

[sudden badge]

Would be nice to have a NDA chat so people could troubleshoot this issue for you

[hexed rampart]

can you solo from start on? disable matchmaking or are u forced into it first

[dawn creek]

There is one but I didn't get it yet

[hasty umbra]

Solo'ing is possible anytime, just keep in mind it's not gonna MM you with solos...

[idle vapor]

You can solo from the start. Was the same way in the last test

[hexed rampart]

well im too stupid to disable MM

[sudden badge]

Neither

[dawn creek]

Got into a game before I completed my maths task, wow that's crazy

[idle vapor]

To not break NDA ill say these two words: CREW FILL

if you dont see those words then you may need your eyes checked

[hexed rampart]

guess I need to get my eyes checked 👀

well ok found it

[spiral silo]

hey where can i do the survey thing?

i cannae find it

[hasty umbra]

Email

[spiral silo]

ah alrighty

[hasty umbra]

It should have been sent to you.

[dawn creek]

damn, I'm stupid now I can't participate in future playtests

[hasty umbra]

?

Did ya break da NDA?

[kindred vigil]

can I haz chesburger ✌️😂

[dawn creek]

No js typed in the wrong thing on the survey, wouldn't be surprised if I was let into future playtests tho, these typa slipups happen often, for example with ARC Raiders

[kindred vigil]

I think you'll be fine

[twilit crystal]

Cmon bungie, if the tests been extended for another 2 days to max out the servers and fully stress test em then at least send me a fooking invite on ps5, i applied day 1 for both tests and never got in any, im dying to bloody play 😮‍💨

[dreamy forge]

So has this been extended for 2 more days?

[balmy oar]

i have a question on a quest but where can i post it ?

[twilit crystal]

Apparently until the 30th is what ive heard

[shell tangle]

#tech-test-nda-general-discussion

[dreamy forge]

Ok, I wonder why they haven't updated this on the official test page

[balmy oar]

thx but i dont have access

[vivid quail]

луковые оладьи

[shell tangle]

You have to wait then, nda channels should open up for you soon

[balmy oar]

ok thx

[twilit crystal]

Theyre slow af, on the bungie website where you applied it only changed from 'sorry the applications now closed' to ' check back later to see if youve been accepted' on friday just gone.

[dreamy forge]

Strange, well at least more play testing for me then.

[twilit crystal]

Ok no need to rub it in 🤣😭

[dreamy forge]

hopefully you'll get one soon, I am looking for some people to squad with

[twilit crystal]

I doubt it this late into the test mate but ill still keep checking my emails just incase haha, im on arc raiders from thursday morning anyway so that will fill my time up until marathons full release

[worldly meadow]

i got mine last night ..

[hasty umbra]

No new applicants.

[torpid bloom]

P sure sign ups are closed for the test

[twilit crystal]

On steam?

[torpid bloom]

NDA access might still get doled out, fingers crossed

[worldly meadow]

yea i went to go launch hades 2 and just saw it in my library

[dreamy forge]

Fair, tbh I wasnt expecting to get an inv, until I checked my email yesterday midday

[alpine berry]

solo feels pretty terrible lol

[twilit crystal]

Yes this is what i was saying earlier it seems as though way more steam invites got sent out over console, the console signup ended last week i think but steams still allowing people to apply and theyre still being accepted. Strange 🤷🏻‍♂️

[strong harness]

Hope this game will release soon. But please ... the ttk is way to short.

[torpid bloom]

I always liked apex for its slightly longer ttks, allows you to react to getting shot a bit more

[kindred vigil]

are we all playing the bf6 battle royale

[hasty umbra]

TTK I believe is intentional.

[twin lark]

it's perfectly fine in 3v3s

how much longer is the test running?

[worldly meadow]

30th i believe

[twin lark]

i though it was till today

[torpid bloom]

It was extended for two days

[twin lark]

oh nice, i can then nicely transition to arc riders

[torpid bloom]

But everything will get reset today from inventory to contract progress

[twin lark]

WHAT ABOUT LVL

[torpid bloom]

Probably too? Idk bout that

Use them purples if you got em

[strong harness]

Possible to enter the third map? Lv15 wasnt reached ... take to long.

[torpid bloom]

I reached 21 i don't think it was unrealistic

[twin lark]

i was saving it till all the boys hit lvl 15 😭

[untold cloud]

How to get fraction roles?

[kindred vigil]

Channels and roles tab

[twin lark]

there's a "channels & roles" button on discord

[torpid bloom]

Nvm

[untold cloud]

Ty

[scenic meteor]

Channels and roles tab

[magic rose]

having both destiny and marathon update at the same time is brilliant :)

[torpid bloom]

I sold mine lmao was too anxious about losing em

[dreamy forge]

feelsbadman

[strong harness]

After 21 hours i was lvl 14 ... because im a bad player, maybe.

[twin lark]

gearfear in a test is wild 😭

[trim nest]

im d2 biggest hater (tl;dr its not for me) but im all-in on marathon bc of the cinematics and artstyle + arc raiders turning me around completely towards extraction shooters as a genre

[torpid bloom]

You do get much more xp for exfil but I've been playing with filled squads so I got lucky to have some gamers on my team

[scenic meteor]

Hop on

[torpid bloom]

Lmao i know i can't help it

I wanted to afford upgrades

[shut hawk]

yummy

[twin lark]

i just wish the game would get some of that grit seen in cinematics

[trim nest]

arc or marathon?

[twin lark]

marathon

[trim nest]

ah, i wouldnt know yet 😇

[twin lark]

i mean we've all seen the public tests 😭

[kindred vigil]

Its downloading rn!!

[scenic meteor]

Don’t lie to me

[kindred vigil]

I'm surprised portal is coming with it I thought it was just br

[trim nest]

oh i wasnt sure if it was all private atm

[kindred vigil]

I'm also surprised bf6 isn't 100gb and maxed out at 49

are we finally...optimizing storage....🥹🌹🔋

[scenic meteor]

Depends who u ask

Cod still gonna be 120+gb

[kindred vigil]

just wait until they add 100+ cosmetics tocbf6 itll bloat

[scenic meteor]

Ngl bf6 is kinda a snooze fest not worth the 70

[twin lark]

50GBs of gun pngs

[kindred vigil]

Didn't you JUST say it was peak on release week

Holy honeymoon phase ✌️😭

[scenic meteor]

I rarely say a game is peak don’t do that

[kindred vigil]

Count 1: guilty

[twin lark]

i recently launched bf2042 after wanting to play some bf, but not wanting to spend them money, it made me appreciate bf6 so much more 💔

[twilit crystal]

Battlefield redsec has just released on ps5 for free, battlefields version of a battleroyal

[floral eagle]

Hello guys, is there a specific channel in Discord to report bugs?

[kindred vigil]

Count 2: guilty

[twin lark]

yeah, but you're not getting there any time soon

so just submit a survey

[scenic meteor]

I’m not lyin tho leviathan raid was fr peak

[kindred vigil]

Count 4: guilty

Count 5: guilty

Count six: guilty

[floral eagle]

Oh okay thank you. Where should I submit the survey? I've tried creating a new post in the Marathon Help Center but it doesn't let me choose a topic so I cannot do it

[kindred vigil]

Count seven: guilty

[twin lark]

mf doing background checks at the levels of my future would-be employers 💔

[kindred vigil]

Count eight: guilty

[twin lark]

i don't remember the link, but it's in the game, check messages

or news

[kindred vigil]

Count nine: guilty

[floral eagle]

Ok thank you!

[kindred vigil]

Do I need to keep going Scooby

[scenic meteor]

All I’m seeing are home runs those aren’t strike outs

[twin lark]

u had me at court 4

[kindred vigil]

U love to call games peak

[scenic meteor]

Occasionally

Maybe not rarely

[acoustic sierra]

Bro, why I cannot matching anyone in the game?

[obsidian plover]

Finally, after 10,000 years. I'm free.

[scenic meteor]

Snipers been out in full force recently

[kindred vigil]

they've been like that since the test got announced 💔🥀

[worldly meadow]

will we be able to play on {redacted} map if were all getting reset?

[kindred vigil]

If I answer we both will die

[scenic meteor]

It’s worse right now tho Tim made a haha funny and got a 72hour

[dawn creek]

uhhh {redacted}

Is it weird I got 15 hours on ARC Raiders in 2 days and only 6.6 hours on Marathon in this full week?

[twin lark]

no, it might just not be for u, i had it the other way around lmao

[worldly meadow]

no arc is more polished rn, we aint even in beta

[kindred vigil]

is it weird I prefer a game

[twin lark]

is marathon supposed to be unplayable on linux?

[frail vector]

It’s third person I couldn’t care less

[shut hawk]

a game

[kindred vigil]

Bungie has never supported Linux so

[dawn creek]

No I like marathon but idk the queue times been giving me this sense of "emptiness" might just be my weird ahh

[scenic meteor]

Arc raiders isn’t ur kinda weird

[kindred vigil]

what does this even mean

[dawn creek]

I look forward to seeing what Bungie cooks up tho, they have such a good chance for a comeback rn

[twin lark]

its not even about support, just dont block the platform with the anticheat 💔

[kindred vigil]

who uses Linux besides GEEEEEEEEEEKS!!!

[scenic meteor]

U have a certain pallet of weirdness that arc raiders doesn’t fit

[kindred vigil]

but I fw arc raiders...

I just don't think it has enough to warrant 40$ from me but I don't think it's a bad game

[scenic meteor]

But purchase on release fw or wait for sale fw

[kindred vigil]

every game nowadays is a wait on sale fuck paying full price

[acoustic sierra]

Can anyone play the game rn? I am waiting in lobby over 20 mins

[kindred vigil]

tiny Tina wonderlands gave me trust issues bruh, never paying full price for ANYTHING!! 😭✌️

[dawn creek]

I fw both this game and ARC Raiders but I can't say much abt this game yet cause we're not that close to release, I'd be skeptical to buy this game now but I am DEFO buying ARC on release

[twin lark]

imagine paying 70$ for an unfinished game, when itll cost half that once its stable lmao

[scenic meteor]

That’s borderlands tho u should never pay full price for a borderlands game

[kindred vigil]

well I didn't know that budddddy

[dawn creek]

yea (ARC Raiders is an exception)

[obsidian plover]

Scooby right in this case

[kindred vigil]

also I tend to not buy online only games

[obsidian plover]

it depends but sometimes you just gotta.

[kindred vigil]

ur not the boss of me

[scenic meteor]

We know “I be on my loner shit too much ughhh”

[kindred vigil]

WHAT

[twin lark]

you live you learn 🤓 ☝️

[kindred vigil]

dude if we didn't have to pay online subscriptions I would play online games

[obsidian plover]

You don't know that

[twin lark]

r u on console?

[kindred vigil]

and before someone says get a PC obviously I would dumbass if I could

[twin lark]

thats tuff 💔

[kindred vigil]

I have a PC but it ain't that good

[dawn creek]

I love seeing Tarkov fans crying their eyes out whenever there's another extraction shooter coming up "NOOOO NOOO YOU CAN'T BE BETTER WE CAME FIRST NOOOO NOOOO WAA WAA😫 "

[obsidian plover]

PC doesn't change anything tqbh. My 3090 rig sits unused like 364 days of the year. Ps5 pro gaming so much easier.

[kindred vigil]

It's practically a stronger laptop

[desert fox]

just try to upgrade what you can, mine isnt the best i did my graphics and storage next is like cpu and maybe a motherboard 🫡

[twin lark]

replace online subscription with geforce now subscription :)

[kindred vigil]

I grew up on PS3 so paying for online always felt weird as shit for me when I switched to Xbox

[kindred vigil]

120$ to nivida !!!

[obsidian plover]

Thats a vibe

[kindred vigil]

This would be the plan but I have a mini PC at the moment but if I get a desktop, this the move

I miss my desktop, I could run anything on it 💔🥀

[scenic meteor]

Ngl I just got a super laptop until I got a desktop

[twin lark]

upgrade the minipc 😮

[scenic meteor]

It could run pretty much everything for like 6 years on atleast 90fps

[twin lark]

add external gpu n shi

[kindred vigil]

Idek if you can do that I threw away the manuals

[twin lark]

external gpu, ram, cpu, storage

[kindred vigil]

I was thinking of that but they're kinda pricey but I might do it one day when I get my bread up instead of my funny up

It's just lugging them around looks odd, how do I even luggage that without damaging shit (there's cases for them nvm)

[twin lark]

nah, at that point just buy a full rig, they hella expensive and not as performant

[obsidian plover]

You can play terribly in increased FPS, and play old games at higher FPS and still be bad. Congrats!

[obsidian plover]

By that time, I've already turned on the playstation and have been in a match 7 times over.

What's for lunch? Should I get pizza? hamburgers? taco bell!?

[gleaming bough]

[twin lark]

why is this man defending consoles with his life when im not even talking to him 😭

[obsidian plover]

Eyes on you!

[hasty umbra]

🇼

[obsidian plover]

Alr, unc. Go ahead. I'll earn another days suspension for you.

[twin lark]

what does that even mean?

[obsidian plover]

Neeyth. Help. Translate for this one.

[hasty umbra]

Also you used unc unironically? How old are you.

What does unc even mean

[obsidian plover]

Is this real life right now?

[gleaming bough]

Or are living in a fantasy?

[hasty umbra]

it's a shortened version of uncle kids use to address people older than them. Normally.

[narrow quiver]

Thanks

[obsidian plover]

It could be a fantasy, but I doubt I'd dream that I catch mutes for being zesty.

[hasty umbra]

Despite being 33 I've tried to stay relevant.

Even as these kids make up a new language and dialect.

[gleaming bough]

Shame. Im going to watch anime and skip breakfast

[obsidian plover]

It's the worst. But it is what it is.

[obsidian plover]

You watch anime, and i'll get you the breakfast.

[narrow quiver]

I know I'm an old but I am trying to be the shepherd here. Opps trying to think I dont know

[obsidian plover]

Older than neeyth? Bruh is 60+

Nice Chrome choom. Got any spare eddies for a poor gonk like me? Oh shit my pals are calling. Gotta delta. Stay safe and gont get Zeroed my man!

[narrow quiver]

Let me try here, better reception

[obsidian plover]

Where is butane. This is frustrating.

[hasty umbra]

You're hearding cats at this point.

[obsidian plover]

Your endless meowing.....

[barren tulip]

[obsidian plover]

OK but hear me out.

Awoo.

[scenic meteor]

How much are online console subscriptions nowadays isn’t Xbox in the 15-20s?

[obsidian plover]

IDK. I just pay the man when the bill is due automagically.

[gleaming bough]

You don't want to know

[narrow quiver]

I think you may have to wait longer, BL4 was a quarter finished going off all the issues at launch and then there's Randy

[gleaming bough]

Lucky my friend game shares. soooo

[civic valley]

I have moral and ethical reservations about giving Pitchford money

[scenic meteor]

That’s what I did whenever the subscription hit the ps4-ps5 we just game shared n split the bill

[obsidian plover]

Ya I just give daddy sony their pound of flesh.

[barren tulip]

i have financial reservations about giving anyone money

[idle vapor]

Bl4 was the most finished BL game to at launch. Bl3 was so much worse, BL2 had save deleting bugs and BL1 had game crashes when certain guns were generated as loot

[obsidian plover]

Hear me out.

What if you subscribed to my KoFi

[civic valley]

Sony deserves my money more lol, at least they publish good games

[barren tulip]

compelling

[obsidian plover]

Hear me out.

What if you used my gamersupps code?

[narrow quiver]

See I made the smart decision of buying a new PC since it looks like Sony will bring most of the PS5 games to PC

[civic valley]

PS5 is just a cost effective PC with a mandatory subscription

[obsidian plover]

yeah like 3 years after drop. I'm far too impatient to care about sub 60fsp and not waiting.

[narrow quiver]

And I have a lot of Steam games I haven't touched

[gleaming bough]

🐟 🐟 🐟 🐟 🎣

[final mauve]

Isnt that just what every console has been since Xbox Live?

[obsidian plover]

Real I'm prob heading for another 24 hour mute

[narrow quiver]

No since PS4

[gleaming bough]

Shame

[narrow quiver]

they all have been AMD64 based

[final mauve]

I mean, that was Xbox’s huge selling point way way back. Parts were easy to look at because it was basically a PC at the time, just made to read specific disks.

[obsidian plover]

You don't miss me when it happens so it's fine

[alpine berry]

it feels like headshots dont really matter at all in this game..kinda lmae

[obsidian plover]

NDA moment

[idle vapor]

Its why i moved to PC and didnt look back. Im not paying X amount for wifi then adding 10-15 dollars on top before i even buy a game to play

[narrow quiver]

AAAAAAAA HE BROKE THE NDA

[idle vapor]

BUNGIE ASSASSIN KILL THIS MAN

[scenic meteor]

It was xbox huge selling point yet it always performed the same if not worse than the PlayStation

[narrow quiver]

Bungie mods, crush his skull

[obsidian plover]

Yeah, worse.

[alpine berry]

that just what I saw from earlier gameplay

[civic valley]

Yeah the Xbox One and Playstation 4 are both based on PC technology, and the consoles since

[final mauve]

Back then it was fine when wifi didnt exist, and you had to have some wired connection to the internet to play. And so paying for a wireless premium to play was awesome. But today? Yeah nah

[gleaming bough]

I will, who will call out fat chip rat when I send out full hammy?

[idle vapor]

You SAW gameplay? Didnt PLAY it? SOMEONE BROKE CONTAINMENT. QUICK SWEEP THE INTERNET

[final mauve]

Ehhh the original xbox and xbox 360 were better. After that id say the ps did it better

[alpine berry]

4chan

[obsidian plover]

Nobody. Just me. Just I. 🙁

[final mauve]

If you post hammy im going to eat all the worms again

[wooden fjord]

Guys I'm loving the new throwing knives and medic character named "Mercy" that can hover around and heal people with her medic gun

[obsidian plover]

Someones whole account got rugpulled over it, rip.

[final mauve]

Rip anon

[obsidian plover]

Rip anon

[idle vapor]

I loved my xbox 360 even if it did rob me of having Ulysses as a companion in F:NV cause his dialogue file was larger than the 360’s RAM so it would brick the console if you spoke to him

[narrow quiver]

Man I am hearing some blatant misinformation about the 360 and PS3. Those were PowerPC not x86 and the 360 had an edge due to API support, but it was never profitable due to hardware quality

[final mauve]

F for Anon

[alpine berry]

every comment on the reddit is "I'm not breaking the NDA but...."

[final mauve]

I dont remember THAT bug on my copy💀💀💀

[civic valley]

The 360 also had a less insane CPU and better memory architecture

[final mauve]

…okay he does have a point-

[alpine berry]

NDA so lame....go hire QA testers if you wanna be so lame about it

[final mauve]

Which explains why the ps3 had a harder time with open world games.
Bug lists on open world games on both consoles show this where the ps3 has the most bugs for some

[obsidian plover]

PS3 is not a powerpc, Cell Broadband Engine is only loosely based on that architecture, but was insanely powerful for it's time.
x360 is a tri-core x86 arch. It didn't have the same horsepower or game storage density as the PS3, but was cheaper. However this meant that many crossplat titles were gimped and cut short just to ensure they would be even marginally OK on x360. Microsoft hurt everyone.

[idle vapor]

Yep lol. with how air tight the NDA is i’m sure people have broken it by accident but just mentioning something like they can access the menu

[hasty umbra]

Preach

[alpine berry]

also they simply don't let people join the NDA channel

[final mauve]

Tbf the ps3 was no better at gimping its community either.
Both consoles were loved
Both have sucky moments

[alpine berry]

could have just made the Discord NDA agreement when you join so we don't have to deal with this bs

[final mauve]

I like both. Both is good🙂
Console wars are and will always be stupid

[narrow quiver]

The CBE had two PowerPC cores and six RISC cores with

[scenic meteor]

Console wars make both consoles better

[civic valley]

Not correct. X360 was triple core PowerPC, very closely related to the CPU arch in the PS3

[narrow quiver]

I think a shared memory bus

[brazen prawn]

i need more time for the marathon test

[obsidian plover]

No games were gimped over the ps3. In fact, additional editions were relased on ps3 to restore content slashed by multi plat titles that were shared on x360

[brazen prawn]

also I really want a marathon themed steam page yall tell amir to add that

[final mauve]

It made PC gaming more favorable imo, and in that time pc architecture was really innovating

[alpine berry]

they just make people buy PC's lol

[scenic meteor]

Exactly my point

Everybody need to be on pc

[obsidian plover]

Ya I did have it mixed with the og xbox. They were not comperable w ps3 though.

[final mauve]

Thus the meme
“Can it run Crysis?”
Was born

[obsidian plover]

A toaster can run crisis at this point, and a dishwasher, and a microwave.

[brazen prawn]

@acoustic iris can you add cool marathon steam page customization austin I love you thanks

[final mauve]

Crysis was the ultimate PC bottleneck checker at one point

[idle vapor]

Thats not true at all lol. Its a lot of requests being filtered, confirmed and approved by hand basically

[obsidian plover]

No way.

[alpine berry]

Yeah but it sucks because now I'd like to go back to console lol. Cheating on FPS games is hitting critical mass

[final mauve]

Fair. But back then, it was very tricky

[obsidian plover]

Yeah if you have an issue, you get it resolved in #discord-role-assistance

[obsidian plover]

Then? Absolutely. 1000%.

[narrow quiver]

I dont like it when my toaster can run Crysis that usually means it can do more than toast

[alpine berry]

ill just make a reddit post when the NDA ends

[narrow quiver]

I dont want my toaster to serve ads

[civic valley]

The PS3 was a unique weird beast and I find it fascinating for it

[obsidian plover]

Bruh have you seen those washing machines that move multi gigabytes of network traffic per day??? SUS.

[idle vapor]

Then you wont get into the full game or any future tests. The NDA extends until the games release from what i can understand

[narrow quiver]

All the PS3 games I missed got re-released for PS4

[alpine berry]

Yeah so I'll post then

[scenic meteor]

It just depends on your game cheating isn’t really that prominent on pc not as people make it out to be

[final mauve]

Playstation we need a new Killzone sequel. NOT A REMASTER!

I loved the Killzone games

[twin lark]

the NDA doesn't have an expiry date

[obsidian plover]

The concept of the CellBE is certainly long reaching, a bit of a shame it never reached it's full potential. The blade servers are still kind of expensive in comparison.

[idle vapor]

Bros gonna hold onto complaints about the test for a year lol

[final mauve]

Also, yall remember Vanquish?

[idle vapor]

Vanquish was fucking cool

[alpine berry]

it's massive lol. It's estimated that between 8-12% of players are cheating from AC companies and any game with an MMR system drastically increases you chance of having cheaters in your games the better you are

[obsidian plover]

Real. And none of this shadowfall stuff. It was -ok- but it wasn't to the wall.

[final mauve]

The menu gives me chills
“Vanquish”

[final mauve]

Yeah. Also i noticed how similar in covers mass effect and gears of war are…with each installment…

[narrow quiver]

The CBE was also outclassed by this newfangled thing by Nvidia called CUDA, maybe you've heard of it

[twin lark]

what's ac?

[alpine berry]

anti-cheat

[drifting skiff]

Holy shit good mornfternoon runners

[obsidian plover]

The CellBE had a greater vision, where even devices nearby ran Cells, and they would be able to share compute load with those nearby devices.

[twin lark]

you're saying that ca. 10% of cheaters come from anticheat companies?

[civic valley]

IBM and Sony together built some cool supercomputing devices based on the Cell "stream processing element" architecture

[obsidian plover]

Yes, I have one of the nodes.

[narrow quiver]

Theoretically that can be done with any grid computing system, its not a new concept

[alpine berry]

No. anti cheat companies estimate around 10% of a game's playerbase is cheating in some capacity

[twin lark]

ah

[civic valley]

Damn can you DM me some photos? That's hot

[idle vapor]

Fuckin SOURCE LMAOO

[scenic meteor]

This can’t be a real statistic

[obsidian plover]

if it had worked it in its time, it would have been peak. Clustering is nothing new. It would have just ben OP to apply it in gaming, and would have been early cloud concepts in production.

[alpine berry]

that's the low estimate too with the high being around 30%

[twin lark]

source: it was revealed to me in a vision

[obsidian plover]

Yeah. I also have a DECR-1000 you can get some detailed ones of.

[narrow quiver]

Unfortunately computing went towards the GPU as the linchpin in data-intense processing applications

[scenic meteor]

I don’t run into a cheater one time every ten games it takes about 100 if even that

[obsidian plover]

Nobody knew it was going there, and it's also what destablized intel, but they didn't realize it yet.

[narrow quiver]

Last time I ran into a cheater was CS 1.6

[obsidian plover]

Anti cheat detection is working p good these days

[civic valley]

Intel firing a lot of their engineers didn't help them

[obsidian plover]

Nah but thy didn't smell the change and see the smoke until too late, and by that time apple's M series is just dominating the up and coming market.

[final mauve]

Are the intel graphics cards decent for making a low-medium end PC for someone’s first?

[scenic meteor]

So maybe 10%~30% are trying to cheat but I’m definitely not running into cheaters like it’s 10%+ of the playerbase

[quaint bane]

people that really want to play cheater free on pc are going to need to verify themselves somehow.

[civic valley]

I'd say so

[obsidian plover]

for the same money you could buy a used 3090

[quaint bane]

like some kind of ID across games like a vetting process

[civic valley]

No way are used 3090s going for that little money?

[narrow quiver]

I have an Arc...in my home server for Plex

[final mauve]

Ehh i dont have a lot of trust in some things used😅

[obsidian plover]

ye.

[narrow quiver]

I can't say much more than that

[final mauve]

Depends on the person for me, and what it is that was used…

[civic valley]

Crazy. Maybe I should pick one up.

[twin lark]

yeah, it's not often i find myself frustrated at a cheater, more so smurfs, where i can tell they know what they're doing, and they know it too well for the given MMR

[obsidian plover]

You should. Graphics cards used in mining farms are going to be so legit.

[final mauve]

Im getting a RX-9070 for myself

And either a 1440p or 1080p monitor. Not sure

[idle vapor]

If 10% of a playerbase is cheating btw thats 100,000 if a game has a million players. That number seems massively artificial

[obsidian plover]

I have an ultrawide 5k. I play nearly zero games on it tho lmao, so I'm not a good source for this.

[narrow quiver]

I have 2 4k monitors but I also use those for work

[twin lark]

i wanna upgrade from 1080p for some extra desktop real estate

[alpine berry]

I'll have to look for the links when I get home but if you look at anybrain's website they have some data on it. As well as looking at PUBG posted ban numbers in comparison to concurrent playerbase and then with the realization that the larger the number of players in a game the more likely you are to run into a cheater. I think PUBG banned like 2million accounts in the first half of 2024. I think it had around 700,000 peak players at the time.

[twin lark]

delete that and DM me a screenshot i'll help u

[final mauve]

Lmfaooo. I dont need super crazy graphics, 1080p is still universally the HD baseline

[obsidian plover]

ye it's well fine

[narrow quiver]

I mean most materials are 2K usually

[final mauve]

Ill stick to a high hz 1080p then

[obsidian plover]

Have an 8k tv. Most of the content is 1080p

😩

[narrow quiver]

I need a lot of screen real estate for my editors

[final mauve]

Or 4k, so doesnt really matter to have something THAT high yet

[idle vapor]

I think a free game that is massive in china (which from stats and many personal experiences) free games incur a lot of cheaters cause its free. However there is a large amount of chinese players that cheat too, combine free game + massive chinese playerbase = more cheaters

[narrow quiver]

I also have a 4K TV and most of my content is 1080p what's the issue

[obsidian plover]

No yeah, and even 4k streaming services are filthy dirty liars not actually giving you true HDR and 4k streaming. Unless you roll your own with plex or something.

[narrow quiver]

It still looks good. When I had Netflix, Stranger Things looked GREAT in 4K

[alpine berry]

I mean the cronus zen has sold millions of units so it's obviously a problem all over

[idle vapor]

Its most commonly used in siege, once again. Free game. Most games ban the use of Cronus’s nowadays anyway so its clear it isnt working for cheaters

[obsidian plover]

It's faux 4k, and if you compare it to true source you'd see the difference.
Not that I'm trying to die on this hill. I'm js even owning a 4k tv in this age is spartan, that 5k ~ 8k is a bit silly.

Our display tech is moving faster than the content tech lol

[alpine berry]

one thing I was surpised about was discovering how active cheater forums/discords are for Hunt Showdown. In 6* on US E when I die and check an account probably 1/4 times at most the account has past game/vac bans and is a low steam level

[alpine berry]

they only just started banning them lol. They got away with that shit for like a decade

[narrow quiver]

If you're in film editing maybe 5k+ makes sense yeah

[alpine berry]

the games literally can't ban cronus it was up to sony and microsoft to step in

[narrow quiver]

Uh, I got news for you, if Inca/BattlEye/EAC find Cronus in the system memory or the drivers in kernel space and think its suspiscuous they will treat it like a cheat and you will be slimed

[final mauve]

Its third party hardware that converts aim into a form of aim that it shouldnt be for an advantage through, you guessed it, third party hardware.

Also iirc, zens have software drivers too?

So…it isnt just hardware but also software thats enabling a zen to work?

[scenic meteor]

Hunt showdown has one of the worst anti cheats same with Tarkov don’t play games that encourage cheating so people keep buying their shitty game when they get banned

[final mauve]

Thats 2 fronts of trying to gain an advantage with 3rd party devices

[alpine berry]

wdym? it has about the same level of AC as every game that isn't Valorant

[final mauve]

That, is legitimately cheating unless youre for some reason actually impaired

[narrow quiver]

I really don't want any of these AC in the kernel level to begin with but here we are

[alpine berry]

I mean then you might as well just give everyone free chets

[narrow quiver]

I implied that when I said "but here we are" @alpine berry

I would think if this is going to be a thing, Microsoft will make an API for some degree of Kernel Level Access

[alpine berry]

having a closed system was the one thing that console was good for with fair gameplay until they started letting third party support ruin it

[final mauve]

Doesnt Microsoft still use NT?

[narrow quiver]

Yeah its been NT for a long time

[scenic meteor]

Easy anti cheat is horrible why do you think games like NBa 2k use it

[alpine berry]

right now only PS5 has banned the use of Cronus Zen

[alpine berry]

it's horrible I agree but I've encountered even more cheaters in VAC games and battleye games. CS and every battlefield are extremely infested

Vanguard is literally the only good anti cheat

[final mauve]

VAC is hella stupid lel

[narrow quiver]

I was pissed when Armored Core 6 uses it when I never had the intent to play multiplayer but alas

[night quiver]

Game goes down in 9 minutes for changes

[narrow quiver]

I think VAC is moving away from the client to the server side, they use GenAI to inspect player behavior (and it works...well its not reliable) and i've seen CV AI used to drive actual mechanical aimbots so, we're in a losing battle

[neon crow]

i hate to brake it to yall ... but YoloV8/12 aimbots with adruino controllers are undetectable ... good thing they are a pain in the ass to configure and get running and require a lot of technical knollage

[alpine berry]

it's still horrible and CS is among one of the most cheat friendly games. It doesn't address DMA at all.

[narrow quiver]

Valve doesn't want to do kernel level for reasons?

[alpine berry]

not if AC like anybrain end up being used

[alpine berry]

because of the deck and their linux based OS system

[neon crow]

nope .... still undetectable ... 😄

[narrow quiver]

Not true, you can emulate kernel level but they have to opt-in since those run at User Level on the Steam Deck, due to the Linux security architecture

[alpine berry]

you can use AI to scan for inhuman motions in both precision and reaction time

they would have to start making the cheats more and more human

[neon crow]

you can use AI to fool the AI thats scans for inhuman motions 😄

[alpine berry]

the really big problem is fake legit cheating with radar/wh/esp. That CAN be fixed with game design like the "black mirror" system proposed a while ago

[neon crow]

and they are already doing it

[scenic meteor]

Ai anti cheat is not the solution

[alpine berry]

they aren't because no AC is scanning for this but anybrain which idk if it's used in any game yet. AI anti cheat will literally determine if you target aquisition speed is humanly possible and if your micro aim is humanly possible. It builds a player signature as well.

[narrow quiver]

If AI anti cheat requires processing user inputs, hoo boy I foresee model collapse

[neon crow]

yolo aimbots even work over PS5 Remote Play ... good luck detecting that

[narrow quiver]

Also, cheating doesn't necessarilly impact the actual source of revenue for CS2, since the source of revenue for CS2 is purchasables (even though the market crashed a few days ago lol)

[scenic meteor]

Cs2 market got fucked

[alpine berry]

I think we'll eventually see games move into the cloud space to try and be as fair as possible. Using AI models it's insane how low the latency is on the premium tier of Gerforce

[neon crow]

this still doesn't solve the vision+input level interaction that those tools do

[twin lark]

i'll be able to choose NA servers when i want to socialise and EU servers when i want some peace lmao

[narrow quiver]

the CV (computer vision) + mechanical AI approach is...going to be impossible to stop

[neon crow]

as i said they work over streaming right now

[narrow quiver]

If this feeds into the same AI tools stopping it, it's going to probably lead to an eventual model collapse on the server side.

[alpine berry]

you still scan for inhuman micro accuracy and reaction time. It solves the issue of ESP/WH though which is what the majority of cheaters use to be a fake legit now.

[empty lily]

Is there any way to send feedback not through email? My email doesn’t link to bungie for some reason, sent in a help request but doubt that’ll resolve in time

[twin lark]

theres a link to a survey in the game

[empty lily]

Yes I tried that but it doesn’t work, no idea why

[civic valley]

Anyone wanna crew up?

[twin lark]

get in the nda channel then lmao

and for that u need to send them an email

[empty lily]

Yeah sent that in too, not a huge deal had this happen before a few years ago

[twin lark]

you sent the email a few years ago and youre still not in? 😭

[rugged river]

Where is the NDA channel

[alpine berry]

what if we all just join hands and break the NDA? They can't punish all of us!!!

[empty lily]

No email bungie issues

I’m not breaking nothing

I wanna keep playing lol

[twin lark]

they literally can and then its premeditated and malicious lmao

[rugged river]

same here

[alpine berry]

it's a protest

[worldly meadow]

im still able to play, are they resetting servers soon?

[twin lark]

you cant protest a legally binding document youve freewillingly signed

[shut gyro]

I cannot believe I missed the window to get a chance to test the game 😭

[fresh raptor]

I come back from the promised land, to say something vague! Really, all I can share is that it's gas, and incredibly addictive.

[narrow quiver]

They absolutely can and absolutely will move future testing into PlayStation WWS proper

This isn't a general strike

[alpine berry]

Gaben signed it I just hit sign up for tech test

[twin lark]

yeah, u should really beat yourself up about it :)

[sonic dragon]

Bruh so am I just never gonna get access? Did they at least say if they increased the number of playtesters for the steam test?

[nocturne dove]

lol

[twin lark]

yeah, theyve been sending out more keys over the days, but i think they stopped yday?

[sonic dragon]

I have tried to sign up for every test weeks in advance and still nothing lmao it’s all random chance

[nocturne dove]

there isn't really much legally binding about how it's been presented or executed

[alpine berry]

I genuinely just hit 1 button on steam to get access lol

[nocturne dove]

bless u

one of the lucky ones perchance

[alpine berry]

I also only played 6 hours before uninstall

it was wasted on me

[sonic dragon]

Lucky I did it the day of the announcement and still nothing

[final mauve]

Not all games are for everyone

[twin lark]

you had to tick a check box agreeing to the NDA in order to play

[nocturne dove]

not if you get a chance to tell them why you only played 6hrs

valuable info if you can take it srsly

[alpine berry]

I think I was under the influence when that happened so I wasn't in sound mind to sing a legally binding document

[alpine berry]

I joined this discord to give feedback before being stonewalled by the NDA channel

[frosty granite]

Damn I was finally ready to sit down and play today just to see it’s already over hate to see it

[alpine berry]

isnt it extended to 30th

[stable lark]

it isnt

[mild osprey]

Did they just turn servers off?

[pastel hedge]

Literally been waiting since friday for NDA channel access. I made a support ticket and it got closed with nothing further

[undone harbor]

They said they will do a maintenance today

[rugged river]

The Playtest is absolutely fire. All I'll say, nothing more, game is gas

[alpine berry]

they said " la la la la la can't hear you game is gud"

[alpine berry]

yes it's on fire

[frosty granite]

Ohhh bet do we know when maintenance is done?

[twin lark]

cucked 💔

[pastel hedge]

servers are off for ~1 hour

[rugged river]

Think it just started so an hour

[mild osprey]

I thought servers get turned off 28th @10am PT ????

[sour monolith]

no. they updating and running for two more days

[mild osprey]

Happy days 😁

[twin lark]

are there any game changes comming?

[sour monolith]

not sure

[mild osprey]

I’m enjoying it anyway

[sour monolith]

they are wiping stash and giving new gear

maybe compeltely unlocked traders. i dont know

Will my level reset to 0

[hasty umbra]

Karma.

[sonic dragon]

Will there be another test that allows more players in anytime soon? Or am I just cooked if I haven’t gotten into any at this point

[south basin]

is there a good spot somewhere to report bugs? I managed to clip out of the map near the harvester and im sure its repeatable

[twin lark]

maybe

[civic valley]

The game will probably be out for real before too long

Patience, runner

[hasty umbra]

2026 is the rumor.

[civic valley]

I saw someone theorize March-ish, and that seems likely. Games take a long, long time to make

[twin lark]

id assume march, since thats the end of a fiscal year

[civic valley]

Even a flop is the product of thousands of worker-hours

[abstract haven]

im hoping for march but who knows whatll happen in the coming months considering all the reasons the game has already been delayed 😪

[civic valley]

The plagiarism thing? Yeah that was simply astonishing to learn about. Something went incredibly wrong with internal processes for that to happen

[hasty umbra]

Servers down for an hour for Maintenance.

[abstract haven]

on top of it they still havent done anything about the plagarised assets, the game look near identical to when it did during the very first test. i have no idea what happened legally but i really hope whoever they stole from got compensation

[civic valley]

Oh boy time to get back to Zomboid

[peak orbit]

Where is the NDA channel to provide my feedback?

[hasty umbra]

Goodbye 30k vault, I never knew you.

[civic valley]

It's an extraction shooter, loot is ephemeral anyway

[scenic meteor]

I hope the game launches end of 2026 ngl

[hasty umbra]

I hope it avoids the dreaded GTA VI release.

[kindred vigil]

I hope it launches in 2029

[civic valley]

The point isn't to get loot, it's to get in and prevent others from getting theirs lmao

[outer patio]

braaaaaap

[twin lark]

the plagiarised textures have been removed, the entire art direction is not plagiarised...

[hasty umbra]

the servers dying with a fart.

[outer patio]

yea

[hasty umbra]

Someone is the know. Yeah you're pretty right.

[civic valley]

Art styles can't be plagiarised no matter how much the big media corporations would love for that to be the case

[hasty umbra]

My friend said after that though she has no intention to ever work with bungie.

[civic valley]

I sincerely hope that they revised whatever processes allowed that to happen to begin with

[hasty umbra]

I mean, christ, the lead art director stole her shit. I cannot blame her.

[solemn venture]

Uwu

[peak orbit]

Where is the NDA channel

[civic valley]

You're friends with the person who got their stuff taken?

[hasty umbra]

As do I. Bungie can't really afford another black eye.

[outer patio]

somewhere

[hasty umbra]

Yes.

[abstract haven]

im not aware how deep it was but you steal once you can only be expected to steal again, especially since they stole art for destiny 2 multiple times aswell, i just hope the artist was compensated

[twin lark]

are you friends with anireal? 😭

[outer patio]

do they take commission

[civic valley]

My sincere sympathies to your friend, and their art is absolutely peak 🙏

[hasty umbra]

Try#discord-role-assistance It should help you out.

[peak orbit]

Summarizes the state of this game perfectly

[twin lark]

thats a good one lmao

[hasty umbra]

Yeah... all I can do though.

[civic valley]

welp back to Project Zomboid while I wait

[solemn venture]

Reeee

[abstract haven]

kinda hard to have a community for a game no one is actually really allowed to talk about so helping that guy aint easy 😭

[hasty umbra]

My original account here was hijacked, and the hijacker said some henious stuff on it, it's permabanned, and it has NDA access, they told me in discord role assistance I cannot switch it over.

[civic valley]

Whoof

[hasty umbra]

I've tried appealing now discord support got my account back but I doubt it'll ever get unbanned.

[outer patio]

yea unlikely

[worldly meadow]

have they not reset vaults yet

[hasty umbra]

Was banned for hate speech and derogatory comments, I don't say shit like that.

[solemn venture]

Glitch is mommy

[hasty umbra]

[signal reef]

How do I get access to NDA chat if I'm participating in alpha test

[outer patio]

na czat if im oarticipating

[scenic meteor]

Holy goonas

[distant reef]

Based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvznWHn6u_g this video, and general how the game plays , extraction games are usually high risk/high reward, and bringing good weapons/consumables to deal with pvp & pve is key, the problem with having spells is , they can clear pve for you and provide you loot for free, or information such as scan/wall hacks etc, this is why i feel some do not like the hero shooter idea as it feels a bit out of place, dying to ultimate ability or ability in geenral and not being shot once in 'first person shooter extraction' genre isnt good feeling for most.

[scenic meteor]

What are we doing chat

[north sage]

tryna dive in that recussy

[versed obsidian]

how much does it last the mantinance?

[outer patio]

na czat if im oarticipating

[north sage]

okay im done sorry

[solemn venture]

I still haven't seen my kitty cat

[distant reef]

vica versa if you make weapons very cheap, now ppl bring next to nothing in a run and doing pvp will often reward you less than you spend for bullets/meds to fight the person, once again dosnt feel great for extraction genre game.

[hasty umbra]

In the #discord-role-assistance good luck.

[hasty umbra]

An hour or so, perhaps.

[bronze pasture]

Where is [REDACTED] the gamer? I loved running with that guy!

[scenic meteor]

Nobody reading allat take it to feedback channel

[distant reef]

for example lets say your meds cost 500 , but the weapon you looted of player sells for 100, this isnt good feeling.

[alpine berry]

does this violate the name and shame rule?

[magic rose]

afternoon everyone!

[languid wedge]

Battlefield 6

[distant reef]

its a youtube video from 6 months ago wchu mean

[alpine berry]

it's from 6 months ago

No but I also don't even agree with that rule being a thing. I was just looking out because ban hammers fall swiftly these days

[kindred vigil]

Damn we just talking about the game in here

[solemn venture]

Let's all get nuked jk

[scenic meteor]

I guess you wanna join?

[hasty umbra]

Ah, there goes my connection. Servers offline now.

[kindred vigil]

not really I wanna play bf redsec bruh

[outer patio]

@scenic meteor hop on league

[hasty umbra]

Was just in the main menu, lobby.

[solemn venture]

Life will be boring again when this playtest over sigh

[ember dagger]

why the servers down, did they say?

[scenic meteor]

What lane u play gng

[outer patio]

idk one of them

[ember dagger]

I saw something about them doing some stress testing

[hasty umbra]

Deployment of various changes, vault wiping and some additions from what I understand.

[outer patio]

hi @iron blaze

[scenic meteor]

What champ u main then

[outer patio]

i lied i dont play league im sorry

[scenic meteor]

I can’t believe this betrayal

[hasty umbra]

good, silly expensive pixels.

[scenic meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/kylo-ren-traitor-star-wars-gif-16767158544211392703

[solemn venture]

Whale time to watch the cinematic again

[hasty umbra]

I used to play league but it only made my clinical depression much worse, so I stopped.

[outer patio]

i played it when i was like 15 for 5 mins

[kindred vigil]

I played it in 2020 for like 10 mins for my laptop

[languid wedge]

Yall think arc raiders and marathon can coexist?

[kindred vigil]

I don't care anymore

[solemn venture]

They'll have a crossover surely

[narrow quiver]

I think one or the other is going to bottom out quickly due to the skill funnel or lack of interest

[hasty umbra]

I'll be playing ARC Raiders even though it can't replace Marathon.

[outer patio]

it just like doesnt even matter bro they are both ghames who cares

[kindred vigil]

ghames...🌹🔋

[solemn venture]

Gift pls 🙏 😢

[outer patio]

hop on geometry dash

[kindred vigil]

are we playing clutterfunk

[solemn venture]

Hop on storm the house

[outer patio]

yea

[narrow quiver]

I just think extraction games ask a lot when you can lose a lot of progress on a run. You have to be a certain kind of gamer to find the idea of constant cigarette burns on your arm fun

[civic valley]

I've learned to be a masochist from Apex Legends, I'm perfect for this game

[outer patio]

i think thats just howit is with all of them

[echo void]

Have the marathon servers been disabled?

[scenic meteor]

But nobody likes consistently winning that’s boring

[outer patio]

no they banned a lot of accounts

[kindred vigil]

man monster blows low-key how do ppl like this

[outer patio]

its okay

[kindred vigil]

I only like the pink, the white one sucks and overrated

[outer patio]

its the only energy drink that doesnt hurt my heart

[scenic meteor]

Bruh

[kindred vigil]

Red Bull is the only one that hurts me

[scenic meteor]

The white one does not suck

[torpid bloom]

sometimes i just try to go on a cheap run and only pick up valuables and extract as quickly as possible. if i die i dont lose much and if i win i recoup my losses and then some

[empty blaze]

Are they still sending invites for the last day?

[outer patio]

no

[torpid bloom]

not every infil has to be a slayfest where you delete the server

[kindred vigil]

Invites are gone

[modest pelican]

when is wipe?

[outer patio]

red bull makes me manic i dont like it

[empty blaze]

Oh is it done now?

[near thunder]

did servers shut down?

[terse ember]

why they take server offline tho

[outer patio]

try reading with your eyes

[kindred vigil]

do any of you read bro

[modest pelican]

they wiping

[outer patio]

its really not hard to read less than 5 sentences in game

[hasty umbra]

No. Servers are offline for maintenance right now.

[kindred vigil]

I would explain but I'd get sniped

[terse ember]

thank god they wiping i was gettin murked on marsh bro9

[torpid bloom]

who else enjoyed getting a mail ingame from 01.01.1970

[echo void]

why was it blocked?

[hasty umbra]

Is reading becoming so uncommon that people can't understand anymore?

[near thunder]

thanks for replying like a normal human being brother

[empty blaze]

Ahh ok I dont have access and wasn't trying to figure out why they were down

[outer patio]

figure it out

[scenic meteor]

Reading is a lost art 😔

[hasty umbra]

Sister, but no problem.

It's getting frustrating repeatedly having to rehash something that's only a few messages past.

[narrow quiver]

that's a good counterpoint, but there's a difference between losing and losing with decent loot, which incentivizes you to keep your high tier gear stashed and unused

[smoky pier]

The went offline since 1 am, right?

[kindred vigil]

I just remembered most ppl don't have their nda roles so they probably didn't see it

[narrow quiver]

Unless you just never have any Exotics drop

[hasty umbra]

Yeah. I want em but it belongs to my main that was hijacked and banned.

[near thunder]

I just joined the discord to ask man lol

[stable lark]

It's like an arcade game. Basically every game worked like this for ages. You play it and you have fun and when you lose you go "cool time to do it again because its fun"

[outer patio]

dont expect people on discord to know how to read like that

[torpid bloom]

i got one exotic drop you best believe i hauled ass outta there

[kindred vigil]

Well there's a 1 hr mantience going on it'll end in the next hour

[torpid bloom]

im taking this to go

[terse ember]

maybe take a break from discord if ur frustrated

[hasty umbra]

If you have anything in your vault, say goodbye, wipe in progress.

[civic valley]

I remember the hey-day of the arena shooter. Unreal Tournament, Quake 3. No meta-progession, no battlepasses. Just good simple clean bloody fun

[kindred vigil]

wipe but no flush 🫩💔🥀

[narrow quiver]

Quake 3 was fun

[hasty umbra]

The price we pay for two more days. Worth it.

[stiff arrow]

Wait is this downtime for a full on wipe

[kindred vigil]

Old head fart game

[hasty umbra]

Boo,

[torpid bloom]

[kindred vigil]

[narrow quiver]

[scenic meteor]

Is there even a good halo game?

[subtle tulip]

[final mauve]

Wait why the fuck am i pittying people on the internet? Gross

[narrow quiver]

[kindred vigil]

Spartan strike for the windows 8

[narrow quiver]

And you know what they say about good times

[outer patio]

[final mauve]

Bored

[torpid bloom]

[kindred vigil]

I'm on the Internet cause it makes me laugh

[final mauve]

If I wanted to pity, id go donate to charity

[hasty umbra]

I grew up playing Descent, Judgement, Quake, Doom, etc.

[civic valley]

The internet was honestly better when you could only access it at home

[torpid bloom]

😔 🫰

[final mauve]

Dial up?

[kindred vigil]

I only know doom which is a marathon clone

[torpid bloom]

i grew up playing rayman 2

[final mauve]

Realest thing neeyth has ever said

[civic valley]

Nah, broadband too. Just before smartphones

[final mauve]

Invite the gang over to play on LAN

[narrow quiver]

Doom was the first game I ever played, we got that shit in a free games CD and then me and my dad bought it. Good times.

[shrewd vector]

[kindred vigil]

fucked up, in 1999 . Playing broadband Internet at 500ms playing quake 3 . On my Dreamcast™ keyboard, ye p.

[final mauve]

[weary prairie]

[final mauve]

#neeythables

[hasty umbra]

An hour, likely.

[clear thorn]

The reset happened or in 8 minutes?

[torpid bloom]

👄

[civic valley]

Dearest Bungie, please make a LAN mode for Marathon

[hasty umbra]

I loved when my parents picked up the phone, we didn't have a splitter so my dial up connection died.

[kindred vigil]

Fucked up in 2001, with my, PlayStation 2 Network Adapter™, attached to the back . Playing final fantasy XI. Playing month. Ly subscriptio, n.
