[coarse swift]

its fucking insane what people do

[dry copper]

I think the main character in Death Stranding in spite of everything going on is the child

It's no coincidence the trailer for DS2 features the BB theme

@sturdy pendant Icarus, good, bad, how goes?

[sturdy pendant]

I haven't played it in a few days, it's good though. Ark with friends much better tho :D

I read 8 player max. Are there drop in servers or is it player hosted?

[sturdy pendant]

[dry copper]

I think I'm going to buy Bladerunner 2049. I want to re-watch it enough times that I may as well.

I love the twists in the movie.

The idea of an emerging AI as a reflection of technology evolving in between iterations

Exploring sympathies between AI and humanity, whether they can feel and if humanity gave up trying to, just to stomach murdering their technological Isaac

i wonder if Hello Games is going to announce their game this year

was in preproduction mid 2019

[idle saffron]

Maybe!

[sleek cloud]

No Womans Sky

[spark vortex]

sounds like a feminist reboot

[willow crypt]

if there’s one concept piece from Beau Lamb you hope the new game is inspired by, what would it be?

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS924US924&hl=en-US&sxsrf=ALiCzsYq_UsbvDKb8Ca86lNpZHXGYhfhjg:1672696842261&q=beau+lamb&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi39eWo8an8AhXnk2oFHeN_CBAQ0pQJegQICBAB&biw=390&bih=669&dpr=3

[spark vortex]

but honnestly every ones

[sleek cloud]

reminds me of the AI art

[willow crypt]

lol

[willow crypt]

mmm i haven’t seen that one

[sleek cloud]

i'd be amazed if the new game looks anything like that

[willow crypt]

it’s tough to make a game match the concept art

[willow crypt]

nms2

[idle saffron]

Nah

[sleek cloud]

i would lean towards a big open world exploration game

[idle saffron]

Whatever it is it will be as different as The last Campfire was from NMS

[willow crypt]

yar

[sleek cloud]

this character appears quite often

[idle saffron]

Yep

[willow crypt]

he seems to do that in his work

[idle saffron]

Likes that on a journey vibe

[spark vortex]

or RIME, if you havent tried it yet go ahead

https://youtu.be/tG1kSnMymPg

[idle saffron]

I was referring to a journey, not Journey the game - but yeah Rime has a similar feel

[sleek cloud]

another intriguing dev from HG is this incredible programmer who works on the procgen stuff. Really cool work https://twitter.com/marian42_

i think what she is showing off will be in future games

huge procgen sprawling cities

[idle saffron]

Aye, that's my thought also

@snow zenith just complete Greedfall, solid 7/10 i'd say

[dry copper]

Like a turd that's in one piece, but doesn't float in the bowl

wouldnt call it a turd tho

the game reminded me of Dragon Age 1

[dry copper]

You and I have different turd values

[austere lance]

That's probably why I dropped it, I can't stand Dragon Age 🤣

[dreamy zinc]

altho DA1 is leaps better

[austere lance]

Dragon Age?

[dreamy zinc]

Dargon Age1 isn't easy to get into

[willow crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/random-rocks-a24-stones-googly-eyes-gif-25810622

[quaint escarp]

any game with 4 player coop is a l4d clone

[dry copper]

Tunnels of Doom is a L4D clone...Made over 25 years before L4D.

and of course Pitfall is a Souls game made before Souls

Prince of Persia...Souls Game before Souls

Flashback

Another World

[coarse swift]

Sometimes I think about how Sands of Time is a 20 year old game.

[dry copper]

I occasionally think back on how much fun I had playing Flashback and Another World when they were new and how I skipped school to beat "Blackthorne", remembering these experiences makes accepting any new technology really revolutionizes anything difficult to accept.

So when someone uses such an ambiguous term like "souls-like", to me it sounds like they're screaming "I AM UNCULTURED GAMING SWINE!"

But then, I also don't really subscribe to the concept that any idea is truly unique beyond the scope of the elements that came together to create it...so while ownership might exist in so far as copyrights go, ignoring credit insults the very medium any creation falls within.

[dry copper]

Wow I suck hah. I went and grabbed cargo thinking it went back to where I was heading back to...Turns out, the cargo was for the place I was at....oh well. I'm not going back yet...will leave it entrusted to another player.

Could be something good

@austere lance Gamepass added Stranded Deep to the list

Stranded Deep is awful

[dry dirge]

After checking it on steam it does give me overwhelming "Generic indie survival game vibes"

[daring spear]

It could have been good. It had all the chance to be. They just missed the mark big time with it

I occasionally play it anyway because I don't have any other survival games like it. And because I bought it a few years ago thinking it would be better than it is

[dry copper]

I never got it because it was only 2 player and I play with 2-3 others.

I feel like playing all the BioShocks to get psyched for Atomic Heart

[dry copper]

Death Stranding. The only thing that bugs me in this game is how long the tutorial elements are being stretched out. Every single time a new tech comes out there's a new trial to try to use it and it introduces a new mechanic...and thus the storied incidents of there being permanent rain during some missions, completely undermine some of the games very own promoted elements like timefall shelters.

Fortunately, though the game acknowledges at least on a fundamental level, how stupid this is....when Norman Reedus sits in a timefall shelter in an area where timefall won't end (because it's tied to some storied element) and comments "This shit is never going to end"

or something to that effect.

While the player may take that as Norman trying to be coy, it's literally the game reminding you the rain is a story challenge so you can't hide from it

This Radeon RX 7900 XTX overheating issue certainly doesn't look good for AMD after the chipmaker was mocking Nvidia for the 16-pin power connector meltdown.

AMD, come on - be sure to not have similar issues to your competitors

[dry copper]

The issues aren't at all similar though

[finite hazel]

i'd say it's a pretty "similar" issue - considering cards are high end, and none appears to be standing the test of time

i didn't mean technical origin of the issue - i meant that you shouldn't mock others without making sure your cards aren't going to end up being talked about for possibly even worse reasons

and the issue on XTX hasn't been fully identified yet, afaik

[dry copper]

The Nvidia overheating was human error, people not properly mounting their electrical connection, it sparks and melted. The design of the cards plugs could have prevented this with proper power cord clips. The AMD overheating appears to be a design flaw related to the way the cooling solution works.

The only similarity I see is a common hubris by manufacturers to develop and not test their own hardware.

[finite hazel]

that's it, yep

[dry copper]

Which quite frankly, blows my mind.

These cards cost almost the price of a new system on the market in some cases. The one organization that can afford to properly test them (and should) is the manufacturer.

This whole situation could have a very bad impact on both companies, if either tanks the market

It's only a matter of time before some shit company rises from the grave to challenge them both...and this market is crying for an underdog

[sleek cloud]

people will likely just hold onto their current hardware for longer rather than running the risk of faulty hardware

[finite hazel]

if other cards used the same power delivery than the 4090, we'd be able to test this better

but they don't

iow

4080 has no issues

using 3 cables instead of 4

and nvidia saying it's a user install problem

well

thats the easy way out isn't it?

i'm highly skeptical that all of these people don't know how to properly connect psu cables

[sleek cloud]

speaking of hardware, i'm getting some new parts today and tomorrow 😛

[finite hazel]

i've been saying for ages i need to upgrade and finally went and brought some

[finite hazel]

and i'm not looking forward to this

tbh

with all these issues

like Mumbles was saying

more competitors are needed

[sleek cloud]

i was thinking of going all out getting the most recent stuff but stuck with a previous generation so i don't hae to upgrade the motherboard

save some bucks

[dry copper]

I suspect in the tech field, patents are highly contested and getting in with an original dye is very hard.

[finite hazel]

oh yeah years in research and dev

not to mention everything else

best to just license

[dry copper]

Look at the dyes that Nvidia sold to russia

[finite hazel]

for upstart companies

what about them?

haven't heard

[dry copper]

They sold dyes to russia...You'd think would be at least current gen or maybe last gen. Presumably the market is so thirsty, they can get away with selling old tech

Imagine selling Nokia telephones today

[finite hazel]

ah yah

i imagine they're trying to lower their dependence on foreign companies as well at the same time

[dry copper]

I don't know if I'd go that far. They're using dishwater chips on military grade equipment, now.

Saving a buck yes. Lowering their dependence, no.

Eventually they won't even have functional guidance systems

Anyway thats not really gaming related ...anymore

[finite hazel]

iirc, at least 1 russian company was developing desktop/server chips? they were quite far behind though

sure

Another distribution center needs your help

[dry copper]

According to JayzTwoCents, if you're not gaming in 4K, you're better off getting a 4070ti over paying for the overpriced 3090ti

The price difference between them is over $600 and they're comparable for anything under 4k resolution gaming

[primal loom]

That's some big money

[dry copper]

I'd wait for the 4060 cards, personally

ugh. Tried to get into Hokko Life since I got it pretty much free in a bundle....

I hear the new Arc GPUs from Intel are pretty decent

[dry copper]

I do not recommend Hokko Life.

What a horrible experience.

I've never seen a game where you build up a community so ON THE RAILS from the get go

[quaint escarp]

i would strongly recommend against arc cards everyone right now is basically beta testing it and i wouldn't trust it to run your games smoothly

itll be good as a secondary card

they're ok for work environments atm

maybe some light gaming

just killed narfi and looted his skull

[sleek cloud]

i always found that funny looting someones leg in Fallout

sometimes not knowing where the rest the corpse is 😄

[snow zenith]

This is why explosives runs are fun in FNV

[quaint escarp]

this one is a mod that adds collectables to a museum but when i looted his skull it actually decapitated him

lmao wut

[snow zenith]

Legacy of the Dragonborn is so much fun

[quaint escarp]

legacy of the dragonborn

yeah

[snow zenith]

I recommend installing it when you want to be done with the game tho bc you really will go to the ends of the earth to find everything

[quaint escarp]

im still on the first quest of it

[sleek cloud]

got the itch to play Fallout now

[snow zenith]

Same

Might pop back into 76

[sleek cloud]

only completed 4 once so might install that

[quaint escarp]

waiting for a fix for this to support ultrawide but this is nice having a stat sheet in game of my character

[snow zenith]

Recommend FNV

[sleek cloud]

ye probably the best Fallout game still

[quaint escarp]

i tried fnv the other day and didnt like it

dont get me wrong i like the game just wasnt in the mood for it

[sleek cloud]

i got into NV quite quickly with the space suit i found

[cerulean kite]

oh nooo how awful, how dare video game companies charge $70 for a game!!!

[quaint escarp]

i much rather pay $60 tho

[cerulean kite]

yeah everyone want to pay less money, but games have been $60 standard for soooo long, it makes sense the price rose a lil

i miss goin to toys r us and browsin the games and gettin the lil paper slip to take up to the counter to get yours

much better system than keeping them all locked up and having to find an employee to open the case for you

bring slip to person, person gets game from behind counter

[dry copper]

I think what they should do at the end of death stranding is swap to true online co-op and let you see other players to help. Make the chance you see them based on some random element, or friend status

I don't know why, but I thought master was higher than expert...but w/e

[dry copper]

Wonder why they'd give me an assault rifle....

I thought not killing people was important

Can you not keep and store trucks in death stranding?

You can, but not stolen MULE trucks for some reason

those ones are pretty bad compared to the ones you can fabricate yourself though

[dry dirge]

Does anybody have a video detailing the roleplaying in Starfield?

[coarse swift]

you will indeed play a role

[sleek cloud]

Fallout with spaceships

[snow zenith]

I bought a key and it had a misleading name and I can't activate it :']

It said both ROW and Global and I didn't see the ROW part first.

[sleek cloud]

oh poop

[snow zenith]

So if anyone's ROW and wants an IXION key, let me know.

[dry dirge]

I haven't been up to date with the updates of starfield, so they may have already showed this but

I hope it has melee combat because the gunplay looks so dull

[sleek cloud]

confusing because it means Rest of World no?

[snow zenith]

This one shitty way of naming it

Yea

Which is not a whole lot of countries that aren't already covered by the other regions lol

[sleek cloud]

especially as the other option is global meaning all, usually 😄

[snow zenith]

kinda pissed

[dry dirge]

Oh, hurray

now Oblivion freezes whenever I try to click random in character creation

[sleek cloud]

i wonder if you can change region settings or does it track ip location

[snow zenith]

it's a long process afaik

I don't understand why region locking is still a thing

[sleek cloud]

only other way i can think is vpn

[snow zenith]

That gets your account beaned

I'll just hold on to it and give it to someone I find that has that region

[idle saffron]

Looks good

[quaint escarp]

theres no toes sticking out so 6/10

[stray flume]

[snow zenith]

@sleek cloud So tried to get another key, made sure it's global this time.
Still get the same error lmao.

Not sure if this is some new Steam shit or IXION in particular

[snow zenith]

I guess it's way more strict about region locking keys.
Oh well.

[dreamy zinc]

Lol

[dreamy zinc]

Cause prices differ or Something

https://eu.alienwarearena.com/ucf/show/2011380/boards/gaming-news/News/valve-respond-confusingly-to-european-commission-region-locking-complaint

So could be 'illegal'

When in doubt get WW version is safest bet when buying keys

[snow zenith]

I did but

they region lock the keys themselves

[dreamy zinc]

Got Biomutant

[dry copper]

k

I remember when that game was super hyped....and people cared.

I heard its launch was shit

I think one think they fucked up on biomutant was the lack of promoting its story

They prob knew if people knew the story, they wouldn't buy the game

it's that shallow

[winter yew]

Says the person who hasn't played it.

[dry copper]

True!

[winter yew]

fwiw it's a ton of fun.

[dry copper]

The combat looks interesting

[primal loom]

I've been enjoying it

I completely missed the hype train for it so I have no expectations

[dry copper]

Are the NPC unique feeling or copycats?

[primal loom]

Haven't got far enough to pass judgement on that

[dry copper]

I mean do they seem to have characters

[snow zenith]

copyrats*

[quaint escarp]

i played the game bc i got it for free

bought it for $2 refunded it but they let me keep game

this was during preorders

Its on sale with the windows game store for like $15

I can bottom out at 1k likes before my timer runs out

I wonder what conditions need to be met to identify who you're sharing your experience with in death stranding

I seem to have the same names popping up regularly in constructions

The game seems to some degree, be pairing people up

[snow zenith]

It does

There's a whole mechanic around it too with Bridge Links and Strand Contracts, the latter of which lets you essentially make it so you have more of their things (structures and whatnot) show up on your world.

I need to play DS more

Was trying to trigger a specific reaction lol

[solid hound]

Do you guys also have that weird error code 51003?

I mean, I could play online, but I think a major part of the game is the things other people placed

Thanks, Klinsk. Will listen and let you know.

anyone know software to boost audio on headphones?

I tried APO Equalizer, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore

some Windows updates always mess up my volume, idk what's up with that xD

when I listen on Youtube, the volume is real quiet, even on max settings 🤔

when I use Winamp or VLC, the volume is loud

maybe it's Youtube-related idk

[primal loom]

That's the only way I know how, sorry

I used that with my old headphones, sometimes I would have to reconfigure it after Windows updates

You probably checked this already but maybe make sure your web browser's volume is turned up in the sound mixer?

[inland path]

erm wait

it's fucking weird haha

I tried like 7 other apps, but they're all bullshit

[primal loom]

I hope you can get it figured out 🫂

[inland path]

there's a Chrome plugin that lets you boost your headphones to a max of 700% LOL, but it only works in the browser

I'm a Mozilla geek so

😄

EARRAPE INCOMING

[quaint escarp]

get an amp?

[inland path]

eh

[quaint escarp]

how expensive are your headphones

[sleek cloud]

check these settings are turned off

[inland path]

pretty cheap, I bought them at an ALDI store years ago hahahah

I don't even recognize the brand lmao

prolly manufactured in a sweatshop in Vietnam

😄

ok Stef

[sleek cloud]

check this tab too

[inland path]

I don't have that second tab

[sleek cloud]

look in enhancements

[inland path]

oh wait you're in general sound

everything is disabled in enhancements

bass boost, loudness EQ etc.

[sleek cloud]

check the speaker configuration, sometimes windows will set it to 5.1

[inland path]

where

[sleek cloud]

right click then configure speakers

[inland path]

no no, speakers are fine, it's solely headphones

[sleek cloud]

ye do the same for headphones

5.1 can sound lower especially front channel audio

[inland path]

I have this

[sleek cloud]

and you did the communication setting also?

only other thing is maybe drivers need reinstall/updating

[inland path]

I don't have that

yeah already tried that

I'm gonna buy new headphones this year anyway, something decent

[quaint escarp]

are you sure its not already at the max volume it can go? i wouldnt push it anymore if its already max and the headphones are cheap

[inland path]

Steel Series or smth

nah they used to be way louders, but certain Win updates messed with the audio levels

[sleek cloud]

odd

[glass plinth]

I had the same issue. Then after a update it went away

bizzare

Same thing, headphones too

Turned out the update was to properly output audio

Nothing to do with settings

Other people pretty much do what stef showed and it fixes it

[quaint escarp]

turn on the windows equivalent of dolby atmos i think it was called windows sonic or something

[glass plinth]

In my case, I use audio software now, from steam

Since Im composing music

Really helps to have proper speakers now I can play at any volume I want, since Im in a trailer far enough from people I have freedom

Man, thats just awesome

I never had the freedom to play sounds loud, anywhere i lived, up tell now

[inland path]

thx for the feedback though 😉

[dry copper]

Yeah don't forget to Uigeschakelde apparaten weergeven and Niet-aangesloten apparaten weergeven

[inland path]

to uncheck?

[dry copper]

I love foreign languages.

I don't understand a word but they sound interesting

[inland path]

Uigeschakelde apparaten weergeven = display disabled devices

Not that gun.

You do get non lethal weapons.

I was told DC was the way they meant it to be experienced

Tweaks and fixes

Fashion frame is end game

I was hoping to take pictures of me with the otter hat in the mirror at my private domicile

Ended up with just a pile of bodies

Why is it you default to running when getting off vehicles

It should default to what you were when you got on

What can I say? I love speed.

[idle saffron]

You have a...

Need for Speed

[restive current]

See? Gleam got it.

https://tenor.com/view/tom-cruise-need-for-speed-gif-8762837

Also, beautiful cars.

[charred badge]

It's a fun movie

[restive current]

Actually...I've never seen Top Gun.

[restive current]

Please tell me that's an actual car and not some family sedan/wagon...

[dry copper]

You can't tell?

What kind of car guy are you?

Clearly that man loves his red Chevy more than you.

If you did, you'd have the skills to pay the bills.

[restive current]

But I never said I am a car guy.

I just like good-looking cars. Doesn't mean I'm a thesaurus of the automotive world.

[restive current]

IDK how much intentional that was, but...way too painful.

[restive current]

Yea, I'm not great at recognizing models that I don't know...

[coarse swift]

Thats an actual car that the guy probably wants to start a family with

[charred badge]

It's a car

[stoic root]

Squishy dinosaur.

[restive current]

I'm aware it's a car...just not a fan of FWD/4-door models in general.

[coarse swift]

this guy hates sedans

[dry copper]

Four door cars aren't that bad

[charred badge]

They are the practical option, heh

[dry copper]

Yeah. Don't you like friends?

[restive current]

'Not a fan' is the same as 'hates'? 😆

[restive current]

What are friends?

[coarse swift]

Coupes are neat but a sedan is way more practical

Tho unfortunately I'm stuck with a suv

[dry copper]

I think TLC lost it when they started doing these sort of shows

[coarse swift]

But, there's something to be said for SUVs

[dry copper]

They went the way of the history channel

[coarse swift]

Space

[restive current]

Honestly, I don't mind rear seats...

Just extra doors.

[charred badge]

Why? Clambering into the rear of a two door is aggravating

[restive current]

Maybe...but I like my limited 2 doors.

I'm one of those who'd want a car to drive and not to haul things around.

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G6Em7zBRgk

Nathaniel doesn't haul with Chase

[restive current]

He's got bigger issues than hauling things...or people.

[dry copper]

Car issues

[restive current]

'Cause less baggage = good.

[idle saffron]

check it @fleet moat

[restive current]

Now, if it's a 4-door car that's actually good for driving, then I don't mind it.

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/lowered-expectations-gif-9172732

[restive current]

But if it's just another sedan, then I'd rather not.

[dry copper]

But chase even has a spoiler

Dude's got stick to the road TACTICS

[restive current]

https://tenor.com/view/lexus-lfa-fast-driving-car-drift-gif-12730237

This is more my thing.

Small, 2-door, low power, good driving dynamics.

[charred badge]

I'm just happy not having to fix the thing every six months, and laughing my way past sport/pickup vehicles stuck in snowbanks

[restive current]

Eh...we don't get snow, so...

[dry copper]

So you just laugh at random people for no clear reason

[charred badge]

Boring, imo

[restive current]

Who cares? It works...

[charred badge]

I mean not having snow

[charred badge]

I laugh at people driving vehicles that are supposed to handle snow better than a sedan always getting stuck, and people that drive a rear wheel sporty car on ice.

[restive current]

Imagine driving an RWD on ice without chains.

[charred badge]

Ikr

[restive current]

Or FWD...I don't discriminate.

[dry copper]

I dunno. I can't imagine deliberately driving a vehicle not meant for the snow in the snow...I'd be too paranoid about losing it

[charred badge]

Not nearly as necessary

[restive current]

Most people don't imagine...they just get their keys, get in the driving seat and go.

[charred badge]

FWD at least has physics on its side over RWD

[restive current]

We have rain. 4 months of rain, if the globally-warmed environment is good...and I love massive down-pours.

Nothing like any-where between knee-deep and chest-deep water to be in.

[restive current]

Yea, but it's ice...neither is getting any grip.

https://tenor.com/view/impala-no-grip-gif-23088428

FWD at its finest.

[restive current]

Wait, how, actually?

FWD loses grip on acceleration...so it's worse than RWD?

[idle saffron]

It's gripping where the most weight is

[charred badge]

The wheels with power are pulling the car from under the engine

[dry copper]

AWD only thanks

Or 4WD for off roading

[charred badge]

Not a fan of the lost efficiency

[restive current]

Yea, but inertia means the body is going to shift the weight back either ways...

[charred badge]

I see stuck or broken down Subarus too, so it's not a panacea

[restive current]

So you're stuck with low grip.

[restive current]

Also, FWD under-steer...

[restive current]

Dynamic AWD for me...

So I can switch between FWD, RWD and AWD on-demand.

Flying car

[restive current]

Not applicable.

[dreamy zinc]

Best car

[restive current]

So invalid.

Also, helicopters are too noisy.

Even a normal car engine is too much for me...helicopters are no.

Never.

Ever.

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5jpXNQghjc

[dreamy zinc]

WHAT, I CANT HEAR YOU OVER THE ENGINE NOISE

[idle saffron]

Go get stuck in the snow with RWD and FWD and see which gets out easier

[austere lance]

If the helicopter doesn't turn into a giant robot and wreck things does it really count?

[restive current]

Since we don't have snow...well...not happening.

[dreamy zinc]

Starscream i guess?

[restive current]

No, that's the F16.

[dry copper]

I thought starscream was a jet

Blackout?

[restive current]

Didn't they use those in Pakistan?

[austere lance]

Starscream is a jet, lol

Blackout is a helicopter

[charred badge]

Not sure how else to explain why it's better for snow.
There was a microdorm up a slight hill outside my kitchen window. Always saw kids with sports cars driving up, then sliding down, the hill

[restive current]

I want the helicopter/plane mix from 'The 6th Day' (or whatever the name of the movie was).

[austere lance]

Isn't a helicopter plane a VTOL 😆

[dry copper]

My favorite transformer is a bad guy

[charred badge]

Was funny, especially since they had a habit of parking wherever for parties, even down in our deeded areas

[restive current]

That's just one expensive wreck.

[restive current]

No...in the movie, the wings rotate to be a helicopter, but they can, once in the air, fix into a plane's wings.

[charred badge]

No no, they'd attempt it one at a time, so they'd just hit the bottom and try again

[restive current]

If I ever get a car...in snow...I'm so not doing that.

Repairing a car would be way beyond my pay grade.

[austere lance]

Who this

You said bad guy and I was hoping for Barricade, smh

[coarse swift]

the newest Saints Row?

https://tenor.com/view/no-i-dont-think-i-will-captain-america-old-capt-gif-17162888

[restive current]

Megatron. Or...Galvatron.

[fleet moat]

Yes, sir

[dry copper]

This is my favorite toy reveal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zl-yXRCkXRU

[fleet moat]

The $60 one, free to play this weekend

[coarse swift]

I saw enough with the new SR already

[austere lance]

Galvatron was weird

[coarse swift]

thats a big pass for me
