Poor missile

It's crazy how quickly the machine learning field is progressing

[winter yew]

there are positive implications and negative ones

the positive is that people who are working on projects by themselves, such as individual modders can speed their development process up by taking advantage of ai generated assets, sounds and even voices

the negative is that so can huge publishers like activision

[orchid fox]

i may or may not have unlocked something that breaks geneva convention

[snow zenith]

suggestion*

[quaint escarp]

just added every single mainline pokemon game to my library

[silver sparrow]

"mainline pokemon"
💉

[quaint escarp]

theres too many spin offs

so i just got the main gens and remakes

[orchid fox]

ngl chief this is kinda depressing

goin from 150k to about 6k

[quaint escarp]

it was bound to happen

thats why i didnt pick it up

[orchid fox]

Fair enough

An update is releasing soon dou doubt it will grab all of them back

[tame cairn]

what even is that

all it took was me to look it up and i understand why

[winter yew]

games with smaller communities can be good sometimes

you get to know everyone

the people who are still left playing ace combat 7, all the regular players i know nearly every single one of them

you make a LOT of friends

cause you see the same people over and over again

[tame cairn]

the only game i play somewhat like that is dayz

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiTngvvD5dI

[dry copper]

This game is absolutely incredible

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geno9G-EhYE

This detective is incompetent, but the game really has a lot of systems working together

It's fun and engaging and insane

[dry copper]

How much you wanna bet may 4th there will be an update to "fix jedi survivor"

There's no way they let that day go by and not capitalize on their shitty launch to try and garner some favor from fans

If they do...oh I don't know how I feel about their future

Esp given they are a subsidiary of EA

Though it will be funny to see new memes like "May the 4th go fuck yourself"

[orchid fox]

which game?

[analog harness]

Astroneer:D

Its fun

[orchid fox]

"vampire survivors animated series is coming"

[coarse swift]

Wish there was more to do

[analog harness]

https://www.pcgamer.com/modder-wires-chatgpt-into-skyrim-vr-so-npcs-can-roleplay-and-remember-past-conversations/ Finally some good fuckin' food.

[dry dirge]

Good written dialogue > AI generated dogshit

[placid moat]

No denying that

But there's a limit to how much any studio will write

This is a nic fall-back for more generic NPC's especially in bethesda games

Truly believe there's massive gains to be made and we are only at the early stages of implementation and testing. Who knows what a few year will bring

[dry dirge]

I'm fine with there being a limited amount of dialogue, I don't plan on playing a game for the rest of my life

I move on to the next incredible experience

[placid moat]

I am not saying it should replace it, but setting up mechanics/systems should be implemented once and the Ai takes it over from there.

Who knows, might be a complete bust but I am not betting against it just yet. No one is arguing removing good written torylines, I see it as supplemental at best

[orchid fox]

didnt they do same shit with wow?

or wait no

that was text to speech

[placid moat]

Nope this is different. There's already convincing Runescape bots operating on ChatGPT

[dry copper]

There may be a formula, but there is absolutely no limit

[placid moat]

Detecting them became muchharder since they respond and carry conversations.

[dry copper]

A studio is limited only by what they're willing to invest

[placid moat]

Well that's the limit. Financia limit, thought t was pretty obvious what I was referring to 😅

This tech could be amazing in Daggerfall Unity now I think of it

And Morowind.

[dry copper]

If finances are the limit, bethesda has no argument. They're owned by one of the richest gaming studios on this entire planet.

Zenimax

[placid moat]

Corpos don't work like that, ever.

Writing more text for a videogame and thus take time away from another project? I've never seen that happen but I'd be happy to be wong, tht would be one engaging game with tons of flavour.

[dry copper]

I'm not saying they do. I'm saying that their argument financial limits are a stopgap is null and void by virtue of their coffers alone.

[dry dirge]

Idk, all I really think of when I see Chatbot tech is

[placid moat]

Hell NMS could benefit from it to a degree since we are purely text-based

[dry copper]

Define benefit

[placid moat]

Well, lets rail on toddieboiiiii about it. I am down

[dry dirge]

phishing bots and AAA studios using it to pump out mind melting mush

[placid moat]

Add in encounters and interactions with NPC's you've met, who remember you and can offer (rudimentary) interactions. Perhaps textual at first, maybe translate that to gameplay if the tech matures proper enough

Did you guys watch the video/read the article?

[dry copper]

NMS would not "benefit" unless your argument is that profits for an individual are a benefit in lieu of quality or at the cost of the larger community

[placid moat]

Sheesh, alright.

[dry copper]

AI has a very solid future in gaming as a tool to help, but companies using it to replace staff, rather than improve on throughput should be (and rightly so) completely and utterly gutted.

They're cutting off their nose to spite their faces

[placid moat]

Please read what I said at the start: Supplemental, not replacement. If they do that, I'll rightfully stand by your side with my own torch and pitchfork.

[dry copper]

I'm just paranoid. I'm not accusing you of taking a position necessarily...only replying to the subject matter more generally

[placid moat]

Did you watch and read the article I linked? Because I think there's key nuance that I am trying to highligh compared to what we seem to be discussing, the integrity of any given game

[dry copper]

I like articles. I just got here...

[placid moat]

Oh trust me, I am paranoid. FSR/DLSS is already being used a crutch in game dev to forgo further, needed optmizations.

[dry copper]

Woo the modders one

That's funny. That's exactly what I'd say AI would be doing in RPGs in the future, last year...

[placid moat]

Execs who see a shortcut to pump out 'content' and forgo quality, that will be easily abused.

[dry copper]

Though I expect the AI to have full blown conversations at some point

[dry dirge]

The end of that article literally says "Hopefully most games and mods in the future will stick with good old-fashioned dialogue written and performed by humans."

[placid moat]

There's a mod for Bannerlord which does that, giving lords personalities and remembering you and past encounters. With obvious limitations but does allow you to roleplay more

[dry copper]

It's going to get real questionable soon, too

With AI able to dupe human voices, voice actors will start getting paid for their voice instead of their acting

AI will just rip off their voices and mod it for the game

[placid moat]

And let that remain the case, pretty please. I don't want a prompt dictating my entire narrative experience in a videogame

I doubt the AI could move me to tears as cetain games have.

[dry dirge]

I see Indie games continuing to use proper voice acting

[dry copper]

AI will just grab you by the hand and slap you with it and demand you stop hitting yourself

[placid moat]

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

[dry copper]

I see triple A studios meddling with AI to the point it bankrupts the conception of the technology on a fundamental level, and money being funneled to more independent studios paying actors and writers properly, until the only AAA studio still circle jerking this mindset is something owned by some rich bitch that doesn't care about loss and just wants to cut corners with the mindset society will catch up with their cold hearted ways....Like Zuckfuck with Meta

[dry dirge]

Zuckfuck, that's a great nickname

[coarse swift]

sounds a little uh

odd

[placid moat]

Zuckfuck. Say it 5 times real fast

[dry copper]

eww no

[placid moat]

I amconvinced tha if AI isn't regulated and the insane armsrace is guided, it will end in some kind of tragedy

The ability to destabilize and cause doubt/mistrust in every facet of society is hugeeeee

[dry copper]

Tragedy? I dunno. AI is gunna compete with itself eventually

[placid moat]

The latest video I watched on the underlying issues that go deeper than the surface level issues had me

The AI is already feeding itself, absence of data, it starts to train itself.

[dry copper]

Yes but it's also stupid as fuck

and while some people say "This is as bad as it will ever get"...they clearly don't understand the linguistics behind AI learning

[placid moat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj8lcNQ&pp=ygUMRGFuZ2VyIG9mIEFJ This video came out this March, already outdated weeks later. But it was a very insightful presentation, highly suggest you give it a look if you are remotely curious about it

[dry copper]

AI won't necessarily get smarter.

Being a better con artist doesn't make you more intelligent

[placid moat]

The current model will eventually run into its own limitations

But who knows what kind of tech and AI we'll develop in 5 years time

[dry copper]

In order for AI to actually become smarter it has to learn on its own. It can't just be fed data and interpret it based on what it was told to think.

[placid moat]

It's akin to the Geth in Mass Effect

At some point it needs to make that step from programmed routines to "Wait a minute"

[dry copper]

It's more akin to a calculator spelling boobs at this point

[placid moat]

Priorities on point. At any rate, we'll see where we land. Exciting, mad times and potentially troubling ones.

[dry dirge]

We'll just have to see if we get our Star Trek future, or a Cyberpunk future

or hell, a 40k future

40k would be pretty awful but it would also be really metal

[placid moat]

40K universe = Requisition a legion to come help out your planet. The bureaucrats see your request 8 years later in the pile, send out an detachment.. only to realize you've been overrun 5 years ago

I can feel the wheels of bureaucracy grinding me up already

[dry copper]

@placid moat Did you get a chance to watch the lecture I posted last week by Emily Bender?

[placid moat]

I must have missed that completely, where was it? Got a link?

[dry copper]

It's a long lecture so I don't imagine many watched it.

[placid moat]

I don't mind long-form lectures, at all. Provided I have a modicum of interest in the discussed topic of course.

Fortunately I've avoided the attention span destroying apps in my life

[dry dirge]

If I got to pick how I die, fighting against badass robot skeletons or actual demons would be one of my top choices

[dry copper]

It's about an hour long but she's a brilliant linguistics professor that talks about the role of humanity in not just directing AI tech but in interpreting it.

[placid moat]

There's a few AI videos involving he, which is the title?

[dry copper]

She's got a very good methodology of tempering hype that's being misused

[placid moat]

"Limitations of ChatGPT"?

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuU-5rGPbyg

[placid moat]

Much obliged!

[dry dirge]

What does dehumanization mean, in this context?

[dry copper]

It's interesting. Her understanding of learning versus training in AI tech is fundamental in understanding where the tech can go and how it can be abused

[dry copper]

That was one of the questions at the end of the lecture if you want to fast forward to the Q&A, she answers that directly.

[daring spear]

Random addition to almost nothing: attention span shortening is a fake statistic and Microsoft is the source for all the articles about it

[dry dirge]

Ah, ok

I'll watch it eventually

maybe

[placid moat]

BIG TECH IS EVIL!?

[dry dirge]

Who could've seen this twist?????!??!

[daring spear]

Shocking, I know

[dry copper]

Evil is nitrogen?

Did you know you can replace all of the oxygen in your room with nitrogen and you'll die without even feeling it?

[placid moat]

What a dark turn.

[dry copper]

You'll just fall asleep and your heart will stop

[placid moat]

AI will now learn that and choke us out

[dry dirge]

Oh neat, you're green

congrats

[placid moat]

Oh shoot, thanks!

[dry copper]

Your body treats nitrogen like oxygen but your organs need the oxygen...So in the absence of oxygen, you'll just fall asleep but because your brain thinks you're breathing normally thanks to nitrogen, your body never goes into that mode where you're suffocating

Yay for neuroscience

Dumb brain can't tell the difference between nitrogen and oxygen

[placid moat]

Heard something like that yeah, makes sense!

[daring spear]

Probably has to do with us breathing both. Brain wouldn't know to flag it as bad since it's already in the breath cocktail

[dry copper]

Ooh will check. Ty Mythos

no. because I break into literal hell and start beating the fuck out of daedra and steal their stuff

[grand mica]

Oh! That's no fun.

[dry copper]

Hell? I thought that was just the realm of the daedric prince mehrunes dagon? He's the daedric prince of destruction.

If any prince is satan it's that psychopath Hermaeus Mora.

He does not seek power or control. Only knowledge - At all costs.

[weak tiger]

i make potions from their weird af plants and also i think daedra hearts

[grand mica]

Daedra hearts.

[weak tiger]

I put them in my pocketses

Hehehe

I’ve actually never played sword and shield in Oblivion. Pretty fun timing the blocking

[dry dirge]

Skyrim should've replaced horses with ridable goats imo

[dry copper]

Skyrim should've replaced Sheogorath with your Oblivion character

[weak tiger]

Or dragons that you can actually steer it’s fun flying but like… we just goin’ in circles

[dry copper]

You can't fly dragons?

I've never flown a dragon but I heard it's a thing

[weak tiger]

You can, but you just ride them while they fly around in a limited area

[dry dirge]

Only in dragonborn expansion iirc

[dry copper]

What's the point?

[weak tiger]

Bend Will shout from that expansion ye

[weak tiger]

Funsies I guess?

[dry dirge]

I never actually did dragon riding, tho

[placid moat]

Dragon ride allows you to rain magic fire too

Not always ueful but the rule of cool

[weak tiger]

[placid moat]

"You will be in so much pain once I calculate the arc of my deathballs!!"

[dry dirge]

Also, did anybody else hate archery in skyrim? It felt so clunky and slow

[dry copper]

I say fuck that shit...Time to pull out the mods

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/64679

Modders always fix bad decisions

[weak tiger]

Skyrim mods can go hard 💯 I came across a summonable army of exploding chickens immediately after a different mod that was this super complex new narrative with new locations and everything. Just so much variety and people go nuts with it

[dry dirge]

I want to be like Legolas or smth, doing parkour and hitting sick 360 headshots

[weak tiger]

Archery often feels that way in games tbh, just stiff and restrictive

[dry dirge]

Same with all the other games, actually

Morrowind has a surprisingly active modding community

[weak tiger]

Oh interesting! I’ve not modded anything besides Skyrim and FO4

[placid moat]

Morrowind is going hard wih MWSE 2.1 mods and OpenMW is rocksolid too

The inventive mods are mostly consigned to the Old Morrowind engine, whichsuckkkksssss

[dry copper]

Thought openmw was just morrowind on skyrim

[placid moat]

Nope

Brand spanking new engine

New features, automatic distant terrain generation

And removing/changing mods doens't brick your save data, they don't embedd modded shit into it

It's beautiful. Uses 64bit too

I played a lot of MWSE 2.1 back in the day, it was a hassle sometimes.

Shader support isn't there on OpenMW yet compared to MWSE 2.1 for example, so it's question what you are looking for

https://openmw.org/en/

I even wrote a simple mod for myself based on Lua code and wth thanks to the more senior folks in the MMC discord

[dry dirge]

There's an entire Old Republic total conversion mod for Morrowind, it's insane

Haven't played it myself, but it looks great

[placid moat]

Though I am a Liara-stan

Garrus remains the best 💯

lmao

[placid moat]

As a straight man, I concur. I never leave without the homies.

Wrex/Garrus/Liara/ priority

[weak tiger]

Garrus, Tali, Wrex for me. i frickin love ||my little baby Grunt ||

[dry dirge]

I romanced Liara in 1

[placid moat]

||Grunt|| is a powerhouse and the Citadel DLC made him SO MUCH FUN (including Wrex)

[dry dirge]

Not sure if I'll follow through with it, or if you even can do that

[placid moat]

Grunt. Shepard. Wrex.. Shepard... Wrex?... SHEPAAAAAAD

[placid moat]

I don't want to spoil but there's decisions you can make, choices to (re)affirm

[placid moat]

There's huge issues with Jacob's ||father storyline||

[weak tiger]

||the video on his romance really killed him for me, I couldn’t stand him after that. And yeah, that father storyline was really problematic at the very least ||

In a game with aliens ya gotta make the human characters stand out somehow, and yet the people working belowdeck were infinitely more fun than him

[placid moat]

I usually never like my humanoid squadmates

But Miranda/Jack are definitely interesting, complicated and motivated outside of Shepad

Lmfao the twin engineers, they crack me up

"We are going to punc 'em right in the daddybaggsss"

[wintry vector]

Restarting breath of the wild

[weak tiger]

Yeah! I like girlbossing with Miranda and Jack, Kaidan was maybe a bit bland sometimes but he has a lot more to him than certain others

I really like Ashley more in ME3

[placid moat]

Oh absolutely

[dry dirge]

||Maybe I shouldn't have let her die||

[placid moat]

I always liked her tbh

She got opinions

[weak tiger]

LMAO

[placid moat]

And you can argue, debate, agree, concede etc etc.

But she won't budge something she holds dea like her faith

[weak tiger]

I do appreciate a character with that kind of conviction

[placid moat]

Kaiden was always ||first to go, idgaf about your mental issues fam||

[dry dirge]

I didn't talk to either of them at all

[placid moat]

Btw no presure but more people moved into the distira command base

[weak tiger]

[dry dirge]

Moving through the normandy is annoying and I have stuff to do

||Also, why is everyone so scared of the Reapers? I thought I stopped them from coming into the galaxy||

||the ending kinda confused me||

[dry copper]

It's almost like her opinions are indefensible and she's ignorant.

But then I don't know what her opinions are.

Maybe she's a closet villain

"THANOS DID NOTHING WRONG"

• Ashley

[placid moat]

That's the beauty of her character, you can help sway her, especially regarding ||potential to real xenophobia.. WHICH can be justified due what happened to her family with the Turian/Human war, irst contact||

By eithe affirming or debating, showing behaviour you'd like to see there's potential for influence. Or ust not even bothering

Liara makes one helluva growth in character arc, she's top waifuh for a reason and that's because she has those naive ideals, then bitterness and reality clashes, until she almost loses sight and bounces back wih the help of her family, friends and potential lover

[weak tiger]

Garrus also has incredible character arc potential I could gush over and he’s by far my favorite romance option

[placid moat]

YES

His growth is ❤️

Grows up under your wing, expands those wings and starts making choices, for good or bad

When ME2 came out, I bought ME1, knowing fuck all. Little did I know I was binging up until 10AM, pulling an all-nighter I've never done or replicated since finishing the ||Suicide mission||

hell yea it is, let me raise a toast to my man satan on twitter

[dry copper]

Fuck twitter. Bluesky is tomorrow's social media bon fire

Yeah. Twitter's backend made Bluesky years before ever selling Twitter to Elon Musk and then sold Twitter....Guess what's about to become Twitter's biggest competition?

The spin-out that they made before selling the platform

...Bluesky even reached out to former staff of twitter that were laid off, to work under their IP

[rotund cosmos]

This is social media lore I never knew... Still won't make me use it

[weak tiger]

yea nah

[quaint escarp]

i like blocking stupid people on twitter tho

where else can you watch the super mario movie in a tweet

[dry copper]

Probably youtube, the way shit gets repackaged on that website

So much repackaged horse shit from other platforms being boldly reposted on youtube without even bothering to remove watermarks

[weak tiger]

There’s some good content creators but it feels very oversaturated

[dry copper]

"Content creators" that repackage other peoples shit with their bullshit React videos piss me off

That's like saying...I MADE A VIDEO GAME...and then selling someone PacMumblesMalarkyman

I get that there are laws that protect transformative pieces, but react videos are absolutely dogshit where transformation is a concern.

[weak tiger]

There are original content creators that create their content specifically for youtube, that’s what I’m talking about. It’s not 100% reposts… maybe more like 97% 😂

Reaction videos that add nothing and it’s just some guy making faces, I’m definitely not the target audience for that

I dont know what is, maybe snails?

[dry copper]

Oh I get that. I just hate react videos and straight rip off compilation DON'T LAUGH BLAH BLAH BLAH

[weak tiger]

Oh lord, yeah. “Compilations” are especially bad on YouTube

[dry copper]

If I had my way, react videos would get an absolute fuckin hammer to them if they showed more than 5 seconds of the content they were ripping off.

Wanna react, link to the original video and then just react to the link

Don't like it, don't profit off it

Right now some of the most popular youtubers are making bank ripping content off tik tok

"Creators" like Jacksepticeye

Who should know fucking better

I find myself only subscribing to creators that make their own skits

[weak tiger]

I feel like reacting to videos on livestreams is different or at least can be more substantial content but I don’t know laws or rules on that. But recording videos of yourself reacting to things feels a lot less genuine and I think it’s way more scripted

[dry copper]

Joel Haver is one of my favorites now a days.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck4IP1C5RKE

Seriously. Dude cut himself in a weird way and decided to make a whole music video about it.

[weak tiger]

I’m in a bit of a different side of YouTube, pretty much only there for digital/watercolor artists, literature and reviews, and horror/supernatural/general weird historical stuff. I’ll check out Joel Haver tho!

I always like to see people making their own original work continuously instead of repackaging the same stuff every upload

[dry dirge]

I like videos about people doing weird stuff in simulation games

I also like them really long video essays

[dry copper]

Oh I like some of those too

[weak tiger]

video essays

[dry copper]

Esp the articulated ones with insane amounts of lore

It's like a tedtalk about whatever

Like the artistry of the cinematography of the movie "Drive"

How literally every single scene of the movie is meticulously designed

[dry dirge]

hbomberguy's video on the Roblox Oof sound affect has such a weird subject matter that I couldn't care less about, but it's so entertaining and well written I've watched it several times

[rotund cosmos]

If the source is credited

[dry copper]

Every Frame A Painting was an amazing series

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsI8UES59TM

[weak tiger]

There was one super good video on sound design in FNAF and I really liked the presentation of it

[dry dirge]

There's one livestreamer I forgot the name of, who streams like 12 hours a day

[rotund cosmos]

Jeez

[dry dirge]

he does a lot of "reaction" stuff, and sometimes he just leaves the room and lets his viewers watch the video

I mean ffs

[weak tiger]

good lord

[rotund cosmos]

That doesn't even qualify as "streamer"

[dry dirge]

Ok, not 12 hours

but like 6-8

insane

[rotund cosmos]

That's like. 3-4 movies

[dry copper]

Vive Le Dirt League does such good content I sometimes wonder wtf

How the hell

Makes me wish The Guild were still around doing their skits

I mean...They still have....something

[dreamy zinc]

In case youdidn know https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0OAVFugWtow

Also pro tip if you're going for heavy armour, if you let the imperial guard(s) die by them tanking most of damage you'll gave a nice set if armour 😉

Also

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/2691

Only recently knew this mod existed

[restive thicket]

SAVE TITANFALL 2
Hop on either today or 6th of May and fulfil your duty pilot
Respawn Entertainment WILL fix Titanfall if we protest enough
#fixtitanfall2

[weak tiger]

I’m probably not going to get into modding Oblivion but it is pretty neat stuff! my save crashed and got corrupted, but I had a prior save so I didn’t lose much progress. Why do saves get corrupted?

[dreamy zinc]

Cause bethesda

Get the unoffial patches

https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/5296

This is a must have

[orchid fox]

"if the community can mod it to fix it why do we need to touch it officially" - bethesda probably

[weak tiger]

Darn. Any way to prevent it outside the patch?

or does it just kerfuckle itself

[orchid fox]

which i consider a garbage excuse

[dreamy zinc]

Idk what happened prior so can't say for sure

Save corruption is pretty rare

But can happen

[weak tiger]

I was just going about the siege of kvatch and entered the trapdoor

[dreamy zinc]

Google it

Wouldn't be surprised its a known one

I always use the unofficial patch

Better safe than sorry XD

Btw that attribute mod is technically a must have too

[weak tiger]

Ah okay, at first glance someone else had close to the same issue, seems to be just a thing that can happen randomly even that early into the game. I’m only at Kvatch, no mods or commands etc, so I can’t imagine what might have caused it beyond just being unlucky?

[orchid fox]

i legit cant excuse bethesda not touching it officially when the community will fix it unofficially ANYWAY

https://youtu.be/gtcmIpEKOtA neat

[weak tiger]

I am pretty annoyed with the new standard being games that are delivered as unpolished, with tons of bugs and issues

[orchid fox]

hope it revives

[weak tiger]

(I know Oblivion isn’t new lol)

[dreamy zinc]

Leveling in oblivion is weird and technically requires a strategy to have best perks

[dreamy zinc]

Dead island 2 seems solid tho

[orchid fox]

also not really gaming but gaming related. i REALLY vibe with the steam ui rework in beta a LOT

very clean

[weak tiger]

If I can get some friends into it I’d be down to play it! I’ve heard mixed things on Jedi: Survivor, but I’m not playing it myself for a while anyway

[dreamy zinc]

Jedi fallen order just seems to be perf optimization

I wonder hiw their testers didn't pick up on it

[languid oriole]

same! i'm liking the new ui as well

[languid oriole]

have the game since a while but never really played it

[dreamy zinc]

tell that to 70% of my steam lib

[languid oriole]

💀

I always seek a reason to play games, single player games usually stay abandoned, unless I'm aiming for full achievement score. I prefer co-op games over solo

[dreamy zinc]

for me it doesnt matter that much

[languid oriole]

i think v rising is also coop

[dreamy zinc]

i just have to be abel to get into the game

[languid oriole]

try watching game videos

you might get hooked

[dreamy zinc]

i cant

[languid oriole]

[dreamy zinc]

just cause most YT game videos are to much rambling

like PLAY the ffing game already

[languid oriole]

haha

It depends on which content creator you are watching though

[dreamy zinc]

rambles on building a house in a city builder

[dreamy zinc]

its most of them like that

but T90 i do like

as well as gylecast

[languid oriole]

i dunno either of 'em

[dreamy zinc]

haha both cast strategy games

[languid oriole]

I lowkey stopped watching content creators playing video games a few years ago

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H4QrPZF7pU

[languid oriole]

so kinda out of the loop

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPqn1aGDgSs

T90 might be known in the AOE2 comminity

Gyle only casts matches for supreme commander

and that game is OLD

but those are one of the few i could watch

other than that gopher is probably the last one i could "listen" too XD

[languid oriole]

interesting

[dreamy zinc]

supreme commander is really good game if you're into strategy

can be played coop if you get FAF

but technically i don't really watch them

i prefer to play

still have to complete breathedge

[orchid fox]

i played it but quit fast

[orchid fox]

v rising is both co op or pvp u can choose either or

[dreamy zinc]

V rising looks "interesting, but the combat looks like diablo which isnt my cup of tea

[orchid fox]

but main audience is pvp

[orchid fox]

wasd movment dou idk if that says much

dou vast majority is pvpers

[dreamy zinc]

im PVEr

my brother is PVP

XD

[orchid fox]

same

highest pve server i could find still active with 50 ping for me had 8 players

official dou

[dreamy zinc]

im playing RS now

somehow i got back into that game XD

[orchid fox]

dou kudos to devs for adding this many filters

[orchid fox]

rainbow six?

[dreamy zinc]

no rainbow six is R6

RS == runescape

[orchid fox]

i want to play it i own the character dlc i just despise pvp

ah

[orchid fox]

@languid oriole if u are pver theres some servers with 3-8 players buuuuut rest is dead

servers with players

[languid oriole]

My friend loves RuneScape!

[dreamy zinc]

i like it

[languid oriole]

me <----------> pvp

[dreamy zinc]

live is a big word

[orchid fox]

most barren

[orchid fox]

so ur pvper

not pver?

[dreamy zinc]

ready or not is thhe ulltimate pve

[languid oriole]

yeah, i'm not a huge fan of pvp games

[orchid fox]

pve is against npc only

it has pve as stated as above

[dreamy zinc]

thats why i like the division

[orchid fox]

lol

[languid oriole]

i will buy it when it's on sale! i've been thinking about it!

[orchid fox]

fair

[languid oriole]

oop wrong ping

[languid oriole]

i was replying to gamemaster

[orchid fox]

my only req is i want to be able to CONSENT to pvp via queue or duel request i am not fucking goin into open pvp and liking it

[languid oriole]

i will buy ready or not when it's on sale

[dreamy zinc]

taht would be nice yeah

[dreamy zinc]

get a few friend to play it

[orchid fox]

which game?

[dreamy zinc]

its not bad with randoms but they need micss

[languid oriole]

Something like PvX. A server where specific part of map are marked as PvP

[dreamy zinc]

ready or Not

[orchid fox]

that im totally fine with

then theres bdo where post 50 go outside of any city everyone above 50 has the right to kill u

which my god

does that piss me off

[languid oriole]

[dreamy zinc]

RS is great in that aspect

[orchid fox]

not consent no anything

can just kill

[dreamy zinc]

you can duel or open pvp

[languid oriole]

duel sounds cool

[dreamy zinc]

i mena Runescape combat is...meh

so not that exiting

best game for duel is mount and blade

it's super exiting 😄

[orchid fox]

there TECHNICALLY is a karma system if u go to much negative and people manage to kill u u get jailed and forced to take a long time out or try sneak out considerin all guards will be hostile to u. then theres the desert actively kill one dude in desert positive karma or not u get branded as a criminal

[dreamy zinc]

and if you're a PVEr you should get mount and blade warband and bannerlord

[orchid fox]

same as former sideeffect applies

[languid oriole]

but there are also pvp servers in bdo though?

[dreamy zinc]

Warband has the best DLC i've played in ages 😄

[languid oriole]

i've played bdo a bit

[orchid fox]

uh no

[languid oriole]

pve*

[orchid fox]

all servers is open pvp post 50

[languid oriole]

oh

dang

[orchid fox]

theres node war servers _1 ones

but no actual pvp

cuz anyone eneabling being hostile can kill u post 50

[languid oriole]

that's sad

[orchid fox]

pre 50 none can target u

til u eat the shard (but u have to eat shard otherwise ur locked at 50 and cant get awakening)

awakening/succession at 56

so NOT eating the shard ur shooting urself in the foot

and have to deal with people defending their spot

which i dont want to

how the fuck is the number of active pvp servers less than pve lol

[languid oriole]

Obviously.

[dreamy zinc]

cause people like to build castles

[languid oriole]

Most people are not PvPers

[dreamy zinc]

most people are casual pvp

[languid oriole]

nods

[dreamy zinc]

altho i do like R6

well

DID

[languid oriole]

I mean, I like dead by daylight as well, but the pvp mechanic is different there

[dreamy zinc]

R6 went too off the rails with their recent operators

[languid oriole]

I remember R6 Quarantine failing

Siege sounds fun though

[dreamy zinc]

R6 quarantine would've been a good R6 dlc

it is fun

but new oparators are becoming hyper futuristic soldiers

[languid oriole]

What appeals to me is destructible environment

[languid oriole]

[dreamy zinc]

thats the strong point

[dreamy zinc]

example, some oporator has "nano bots" that boost their whoel team

or walking/runnign hologram

[languid oriole]

oh

[dreamy zinc]

old abilities were like, bulletproof 1way mirror

or breach charge that can go through reinforced walls

the new abilities are jsut getting weird

not down to earth anymore i'd say

[languid oriole]

I suppose they are running out of ideas 💀

[dreamy zinc]

but thats still doable tho

worst part is the balancing

they balance their game acoording to the pro's

so their 0.01% decide most of the patches

weapon nerfs ability nerfs that is fine for most of their community

gets nerfed cause pro's can't deal with them

[languid oriole]

balancing appears to always be an issue with competitive multiplayer games

[dreamy zinc]

sure but it's bad

whoel R6 community agrees on it

they're all like stop balancigna ccording to your pro's

anyway

[languid oriole]

[dreamy zinc]

think ill try to finish up breathedege anmy of these days

that game is preventing me of playng any other game

XD

i should install ESO somewhere down the line again

the new DLC's seem to be fun

[orchid fox]

i both like and hate bdo being an idle game

a lot of shit outright doesnt proceed if not in logged in state

ur crops dont grow etc etc

[dreamy zinc]

not sure if possible but could you go clientless

[orchid fox]

i have 2 60 characters but some content is still infuriating

[orchid fox]

it has easy anticheat so no

[dreamy zinc]

sad

Solas

lel

someone played dragon age

[orchid fox]

the fact this exist should say enough

[orchid fox]

nope have not just random name i thought of

[dreamy zinc]

wow

[orchid fox]

havent even watched it

[dreamy zinc]

watch? you should play dragon age

[orchid fox]

i am gonna loose my shit cuz near 300% droprate after 9-10h i got 12 drops and 5 from weekly

need 100 for the material or direct drop

3 locations

so average grind 4 weeks according to players

OR

do 20 consequtive weeks of 3 npc quests which require 4000kills each...

which is like 3-4h

[dreamy zinc]

well those 3-4h seem more fun

[orchid fox]

i need 100

[orchid fox]

oh ye definetly but reminder thats like what 20/4 5 weeks

over a monthg

[dreamy zinc]

well its an asian game

[orchid fox]

korean which makes it worse

[dreamy zinc]

what did you expect

[orchid fox]

i know i know

[dreamy zinc]

asian games in general are gridny af

[orchid fox]

not ffxiv

and i will die on that hill

[dreamy zinc]

in general

1 game out of 1billion is not grindy

[orchid fox]

ye i aint gonna grind for 5 months for one item nor am i gonna grind for 4 weeks straight for an abyssmal drop

i know its insane but im not THAt insane

100/5)/4=5months

[dreamy zinc]

don't understand how they can play a game like that

[orchid fox]

me neither yet a lot still do

[dreamy zinc]

i wouldn't mind if certain resources are in high risk zones

like in pvp area's

at least that be better than grinding

[orchid fox]

but i am not gonna hardcore grind a spot for amonth when anyone can claim the spot by killing me or take the grind for 5 months god knows how long

i dont know how people are fine with it

geniounly

[dreamy zinc]

why i dont play games like that

why im quite hype for ashes

[orchid fox]

i still stick to ffxiv

prob the most fair game ive ever played

[dreamy zinc]

https://youtu.be/OP-YMN2VXlw

[orchid fox]

have the dudes done any previous projects or did they just come out of nowhere

[dreamy zinc]

they're pretty new

but that doesnt really matter

some indies are >>>> AAA

as long as their goals have an "end point" looking at you star citizen

Star citizen is feature creeping like hell

[orchid fox]

if they kickstarter im dropping out ive been failed 4-5 times

[dreamy zinc]

they already did that

you can look for Alpha footage

that people played

its out there

[orchid fox]

fair my issue with kickstarter in general is the projects ive backed never showed proof of concept for over a year just concerpt art or animation which i dont count as proof

[dreamy zinc]

well they do show proof

[orchid fox]

the videos was just highlight reals of the concept art

[orchid fox]

which i do kudos

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYN5PWlST4Q

this

is like breathtaking

and yes they have an in depth dev video about it too

[orchid fox]

not the biggest numbers considerin most players is outside steam but still dont understand how this many still play

[dreamy zinc]

asian market

[orchid fox]

also yall may speak of evironment but despite ffs old texturews nothing can beat ultima thule for me

if u dont wanna be spoiled by xiv endwalker end location in clip dont click

@dreamy zinc

dated textures but looks so good

imo not many mmos or games ive seen have come close to this lol

[strong thorn]

wow sputtering starship trail looks really good on that interceptor

[orchid fox]

lol

funilly enough is 2 seater transformer

[rotund cosmos]

Deception!!!!!

[orchid fox]

decepticon*

[rotund cosmos]

I forgot a c.... That's a damn shame.

[dreamy zinc]

isnt it more atmosphere that makes that shot?

[orchid fox]

i count most of map but kinda yes

[dreamy zinc]

reminds me of blackreach in skyrim tbf

[visual scarab]

That's a lot of stuff in the hotbar

[orchid fox]

most classes has 3 hotbars worth of skill

the other hotbar is just clicking

[visual scarab]

[orchid fox]

class swaps etc etc

this is not even the worst class with amount of buttons xD

[strong thorn]

i havent played ffxiv but my boyfiend plays
it did motivate him to get a (very cool) mouse with like 25 extra buttons, but even before that it didn't seem difficult to manage his rotations.

helps that you can't cast two things at once, like if you're in an animation you can't start another lol. i think.

[dreamy zinc]

not a game for me then, got smol hands

[orchid fox]

ogcd and gcd matters

ogcd can be used outside 2.5c cd

[visual scarab]

Those button do be looking discouraging ngl

[strong thorn]

tbh it also has extremely strong fashion and a ton of out-of-combat gameplay
like its a final fantasy. you gotta fight. but if you enjoy most of nms there are parts of ffxiv that scratch some of those itches.

and all that stuff is f2p, afaict

[orchid fox]

lets see which is the nightbar hotbar one

good ol dark knight @visual scarab

all of this can be cast outside global 2.5s cd lol

[dreamy zinc]

nope.exe

[idle saffron]

Why is there so much on the screen

[dreamy zinc]

cause mmo

[visual scarab]

[orchid fox]

mmo life

[idle saffron]

Sad times

[orchid fox]

lets not get started on my macro list lol

[idle saffron]

[rotund cosmos]

Jeeeez, and you can remember all this????

So much on screen pollution

[orchid fox]

yes

i have played for 3 years

[rotund cosmos]

Grown accustomed to chaos

[orchid fox]

im living on the chaos dc sooooo

[rotund cosmos]

what

I'm too tired for these acronyms

[orchid fox]

chaos datacentre

[rotund cosmos]

That makes it even worse

[orchid fox]

cross world (server) hubs of data (datacenter) can play between each other

[visual scarab]

Ngl looks like something I wouldn't have fun playing

[rotund cosmos]

No thanks. I don't like migraines

[orchid fox]

each to their own

[rotund cosmos]

You embrace the migrained

[orchid fox]

think of it as crossplay just between server clusters

[rotund cosmos]

I can respect rhat

[orchid fox]

also how that ship looks in ground form

eh im accustomed to it at this point

[visual scarab]

Kinda cool tbh

how to calculate average growth rate of price and volume

Wait no

I swear that was an misinput

[orchid fox]

im hype for this || https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/endwalker/patch_6_4/ || in booooout 22 days

[rotund cosmos]

Oooh

I gotta watch a playthrough of that sometime

[idle saffron]

That's all the stuff on my screen

[rotund cosmos]

Nice!!!!

You made it to Jedah

[idle saffron]

Loving the game, it woke up a hiding Star Wars nerd I didn't know I had

[rotund cosmos]

I wanna see your lightsaber customization tho

[orchid fox]

for context how much i play

[rotund cosmos]

The game plays fantastically on ps5

[rotund cosmos]

Let's see, patience emitter, beskar metal. I don't recognize the cross blade bits yet

[idle saffron]

Mmm, diligence maybe? I'd have to look again - I've switched around since then

[rotund cosmos]

Only criticism I have is that the game gets VERY dark sometimes

[orchid fox]

story or surrounding=?

[idle saffron]

I like the way customization is handled this time around - groups of colors is neat

[rotund cosmos]

When I get home and rested, I'll take a screenie of mine

[idle saffron]

Sweet

[rotund cosmos]

Surroundings

[idle saffron]

100 max rank?

[orchid fox]

90 level cap

[rotund cosmos]

That's.... Alot of time

[idle saffron]

Damnnn

[rotund cosmos]

days of playtime

[idle saffron]

Almost capped everything

[rotund cosmos]

Only thing with the story of Jedi Survivor, what I predicted was a thing in the first game, happened

I don't really like predicting things like that but... Yeah, it happened

[idle saffron]

if it's what I think you mean - I just had that scene

[rotund cosmos]

It was obvious tho

[orchid fox]

for context lol

[dreamy zinc]

jeebus

[rotund cosmos]

Yep...near the end of the planet main quest for that part

[orchid fox]

and i played destiny 2 since blizzard days

so i have some odd 3-4k in it

i played since forsaken launch lol

[rotund cosmos]

Did you also see that from a mile away in the first game Gleam?

[placid moat]

Same. We need content!

[rotund cosmos]

I thought this was a different game for a moment

[orchid fox]

destiny 2 forsaken

uknow

where cayde got killed in advertising from it

its literally intro

[rotund cosmos]

I don't know, not really. I never got into destiny

[orchid fox]

fair

[rotund cosmos]

I thought you said forspoken and was really confused why you dumped that much time in that game

[orchid fox]

wanna know whats disappointing bout the fact i almost maxed everything? @idle saffron

[idle saffron]

What?

[orchid fox]

i get this

[idle saffron]

A creepy doll?

[rotund cosmos]

Gleam is gamin right now

[dreamy zinc]

lol

[orchid fox]

the hairpin

thats my character

[idle saffron]

Ohhh

Yo

You are gonna have breathing problems with that tiny nose

[rotund cosmos]

Pug mode activated

[dreamy zinc]

oh god

[idle saffron]

I'm a sucker for pointy ears though

[dreamy zinc]

imagine a human breathign like that

[orchid fox]

compared to all 80 mount which is mascot for shadowbringers

[dreamy zinc]

wait wasant it feet?

[idle saffron]

That's neat

[rotund cosmos]

Mouth breathing?

[idle saffron]

That's a myth perpetuated by Red

[dreamy zinc]

likea pug

[rotund cosmos]

Yeah. Mouth breathing

[idle saffron]

I got feet pics from weirdos, and someone asked me for mine - and then it just snowballed

[dreamy zinc]

including the noise

[rotund cosmos]

But with more phlegm

[orchid fox]

i can only breathe through mouth cuz born too early :x

nose paths not working

[rotund cosmos]

Get pranked

[rotund cosmos]

That sucks

So much dry mouth too.

My throat gets damaged if I do that for too long

[orchid fox]

i can only breathe through mouth so something get stuck in mouth deep in or when i wake up i get extreme gag reflexes

every

single

morning

[rotund cosmos]

Painful

[orchid fox]

cuz breathing mouth all night

[rotund cosmos]

but GAMIN topics.

I got ganked by 3 bosses in Jedi Survivor

[orchid fox]

in one room or?

[rotund cosmos]

I've done that, but I sleep face down in a pillow

[rotund cosmos]

Yes... All different lightsaber users

It was NOT nice.

Took about 4 tries

[austere lance]

Fae Frame go brrrrrr

[orchid fox]

also hasa nier raid that according to yoko taro is cannon @rotund cosmos and so is the mobile gacha

[rotund cosmos]

It has a gacha game as canon???

[orchid fox]

yes

nier reincarnation

[rotund cosmos]

I dunno how I feel about that

[orchid fox]

nier has

not ff

ff just has rthe raid

[rotund cosmos]

Understood

[orchid fox]

if u have played nier u prob reconize these 2 lads

[rotund cosmos]

I've only seen some speedruns

[idle saffron]

All I see are numbers and little thumbnails and text

That's way too much for me to follow

[placid moat]

Man your UI isa MESS

I use a far cleaner version and still effective

[orchid fox]

eh ive played with it for long i dont care lol

[placid moat]

[orchid fox]

idfk how to clean it up

[placid moat]

I know, it's so modular that you can adapt but I am twitching my eyes

If it works for you though, it works

[orchid fox]

whoever taught me about chat zoom be blessed

[placid moat]

Ayeeee

[orchid fox]

how to give nier fans ptsd lol

[rotund cosmos]

Those dang things

[silver sparrow]

how do you die of pneumonia in 2022

i thought we lived in a society

[neon tusk]

By being homeless

[silver sparrow]

well the lead singer of low roar was for sure not homeless

[snow zenith]

usually you dont die of the pneumonia itself but from resulting complications

source: almost died from a pulmonary infection after a pneumonia

[silver sparrow]

it did say "complications from" now that you mention it

[snow zenith]

Pneumonia kicks your ass, then even small infections can become serious

[glass plinth]

Yup

My friend got Pneumonia, then food posioning recently

they actually had him on death watch for awhile, almost killed him, almost

Feels like a detective minecraft game with this build system...I'm so addicted to just decorating. I made the perfect flowing kitchen....

I could've gone the reverse, but I wanted the food closest to the exit facing guests when it was finished.

I've had pneumonia. It does not discriminate. It isn't the pneumonia that kills you. It's the things it does to your body. It's life threatening at any time and worse left untreated.

The scar tissue even after you heal is life long

I got bronchitis which lead to pneumonia which lead to hospitalization....I was stupid and was taking cough meds instead of anti biotics to fight it.

I only went to the doctors after chugging half a bottle of the worst cough meds I ever had didn't work

instruction unclear, mahood stuck between anvil and hammer

[placid moat]

The team got a lot of deviant and degen stuff through this game

Given the pegi rating. Love it.

[winter yew]

Beat my best time by 2 seconds

Should I go for 15 seconds?

shaving off a whole second is going to be hard

[coarse swift]

If you feel that it's worth it

[winter yew]

I feel like I can do it

I'm going to try

I had pneumonia when I was younger. It SUCKED.

[weak tiger]

Pneumonia is awful. Happens a lot more often nowadays too. Hospital borne illness is really frickin scary too

[fluid hare]

In the bad days of blood-stained hands and no anaesthetic, it was a MAJOR problem.

Too many people would die of illness contracted in the hospital, than what they were being treated for.

We have Ignasz Semmelweis, among others, to thank for doctors washing their hands.

I believe the modern handwashing procedure before going into the OR uses some pretty tough antiseptics, if I remember correctly.

[real vault]

Apparently Tears of the Kingdom got leaked

Someone else about to become to become profit for the ~~First ~~Spawn Nintendo Empire?

[austere lance]

Oof

[fleet moat]

@deep idol & @idle saffron check it: "one of the worst games in 2023" (altho May just started )

[deep idol]

Uh oh😩

[fleet moat]

[austere lance]

Not a single early review (before they got taken down by YouTube, lol) has had anything good to say about it 💀

[dry dirge]

hmmm

[placid moat]

Waybackmachine also has a scathing review

4/10

I love it

[fleet moat]

[quaint escarp]

woo

[rotund cosmos]

Well... I got hit with emotional pain

[quaint escarp]

minecraft looks a little different

[rotund cosmos]

Oh man, a BO3 mod map. The old days

[placid moat]

Spoilers for the Mad Max game, this cutscene is one of my favourite gaming cutscenes of all time. It's intense, it's emotional and it just pumps gasoline into your veins still: ||https://youtu.be/7dEW_okGBFY||

[rotund cosmos]

That game hurt twice

[placid moat]

It hurt me because it was enjoyable and it got brushed off. That melee combat was something else. Visceral, always fun to engage

If it got a 60fps update on the PS5, I'd play it right now. Pedal to the metal with that sweet V6 rippin' the empty wastes, a car man's dream

[rotund cosmos]

A V6?

Cmon

Need a V8

Even Max was mad at a V6

[placid moat]

I like the V8

But the V6 for this feral scream too it. Less earthy, but more.. aggressively pitched?

But the V8 was definitely THE engine despite it guzzling more fuel

[dry copper]

lol. Apparently Shadows of Doubt peoples are getting super paranoid about vendors other than steam selling steam keys of their game. Apparently they want to call those keys illegitimate off the bat. They're going to face serious lawsuits if they start making that argument....Some retailers buy from steam and resell at a loss just to drum up traffic and leech off steam's popularity.

Though, I can understand why they're paranoid. There's a real concern based on the sheer number of keys they've given out to social media influencers, that those keys might be getting resold.

Not even re-sold...They were never sold to begin with.

Review copies being sold

[dry copper]

Redfall
Verdict?

I wanted to get some feedback on a vendor I know selling steam keys for shadows of doubt at discount below steam (Fanatical), so here's hoping they don't just ghost me.

I may just stop buying from them entirely if they're going to ignore their role in preventing piracy while making games still cost efficient

[dry dirge]

Redfall has mostly negative reviews

I haven't played it myself, but at this rate I probably won't

[rotund cosmos]

I'm not interested enough in redfall

[coarse swift]

Redfall looked awfully generic tbh

[weak tiger]

Yeah, I’m not really intrigued by it

[long beacon]

It’s aight, morbin time with guns

[weak tiger]

@fleet moat @primal loom @dry dirge we all still up for human fall flat time this weekend? let me know y’all’s availability (noon, afternoon, etc) whenever you get the chance if you’re still down <33

[dry dirge]

Yeah, I'm still up

I'm available pretty much whenever on the weekend

[primal loom]

Same here 😊

[weak tiger]

woot woot

[winter yew]

playing sins of a solar empire 2 for the first time right now, already absolutely adore the soundtrack

[winter yew]

i love it, its fantastic, gonna be even better when they start to develop the other factions

[winter yew]

i just finished the match i was in and wow, i have a lot to say about that

other people should take notes about how you do a sequel, they kept the core gameplay loop exactly the same
