Ah...yea, it's suppose to be the V12 Vantage, but the AI has hacked up a lot.

Supposed to be the SLR, but the AI made it the AMG GT.

Supposed to be a Murcielago, but it looks like a Diablo and keeps throwing Aventador styling.

Another Murcielago, but with a flat front and Aventador-styled lights.

Supposed to be a Saleen S7, but...entirely different.

I swear...AI art can be completely crap at times.

[primal loom]

It's fascinating technology, but no replacement for a sentient artist

Crazy how fast it has gone from theoretical to practical though. Interesting to see where it goes from here

[orchid fox]

i need to lower clips to last 15seconds cuz 30 is too long lol

[restive current]

TBH, it's not AI currently...it's just a neural-level search.

Glorified Google/Bing search.

But, I admit...when it's finally at the level where it starts thinking...

[orchid fox]

NOOOOPE

i aint gonna get haunted by a ghost detonator

lol

tldr invincible ghost enemy hunting us cannot be damaged and is a boss with melee and shockwaves possible oneshotting if it catches up

will permanenely hunt u in mission but slowly

[primal loom]

Dang, sounds scary

[orchid fox]

also has transparent skin

[primal loom]

The slow but unstoppable threat

[restive current]

DRG?

[orchid fox]

aye

[primal loom]

Yep

Rock and stone!

[orchid fox]

theres modifiers per mission

[restive current]

So how do you defeat it?

[orchid fox]

procedual gen missions with procedual maps

[orchid fox]

thats the thing its not a enemy mode to be defeated u have to outpace it

constantly move etc

[idle saffron]

No u

[restive current]

Damn...

Reminds me of HL2: EP2..

Couldn't kill the Antlion Guard...had to run.

[primal loom]

Yeah, machine learning as it exists now is not even close to a "true" AI. To crack that, humans have to learn more about how brains work so we can build a working artificial one

Current AI is very simple in comparison

[orchid fox]

[restive current]

Damn, nice!

[orchid fox]

also my pc for some reason refuse to buffer direct uploaded vids on discord

[dry copper]

I'm just trying to imagine in what scenario youd' have that hand gesture before a monstrosity of this sort in a cave

Oh. It's a video not a picture

[orchid fox]

if u mean one at start its the tame animation

ye nvidia clip

can i edit my vid in geforce i wondre

for context on the goop gun the last like 5s @restive current

anyone else having issues buffering videos on direct uploads?

i have a wierd studdering issue

[restive current]

I have that same issue.

Videos stutter a lot on Discord.

But then, Discord is a PoS...

Not even stutters...it barely plays for me.

[orchid fox]

same here

[restive current]

Try turning of hardware acceleration and test, please?

I'm using on browser, so I can't test that.

[orchid fox]

test

[orchid fox]

nope without hardware acceletation still buffering

i need to actively pause and let it load

[restive current]

For me, it stutters even after fully buffering.

Discord is seriously shit.

[orchid fox]

outside calls they dont do much effort in any other department

at best i can do is upload em to yt but ye

dou that kinda defeats the purpose of a chat

if u cannot direct upload videos and must go third party

[restive current]

YT might be better...you can spin them off as shorts and entice people into watching them.

More channel views too!

[orchid fox]

would have beena nice idea but if u use geforce integrated stuff is so outdated u cannot enable short toggle or whatever lol

[restive current]

Why you using GeForce? Use Microsoft!

Game Bar.

Win + G for Game Bar, Win + Alt + R to record/stop.

Can do settings in there, to control quality and all.

Once recorded, upload to YT.

Problemo solvo.

https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedifallenorder/mods/592?tab=description

Try one of these maybe?

[restive current]

I'm glad that part works out well. For me, no voice, so kind of irrelevant.

[restive current]

'Cause developers think giving more options to players is a bad thing.

[red totem]

lol

it can be though

[restive current]

'Why not buy the new X console where you can seamlessly switch between walking and running?'

[restive current]

Depends, sure. But more options can never hurt. At worst, you'll have to turn all of them on/off as you prefer.

But having no option at all is objectively worse.

[orchid fox]

in drg have 8 weapons missing upgrades and all other equipment has all other upgrades

[dry copper]

Fallen Order...pretty cool so far...but hate the locked camera angles. Does that persist in Jedi Survivor?

I understand the need for the locked camera angles, so it's not toooo intrusive

simplifies controls in specific scenarios

if ur joinin or others join ur they are forced to say yes i accept disabling or using mods and it auto does it

[restive current]

What's the 'ABCD' things?

[orchid fox]

ye no manual save

[orchid fox]

modding presets

[restive current]

Lack of manual saving always sucks.

[orchid fox]

i mean there is

[dry copper]

Gunna install walking mod...I wanna walk the walk

[restive current]

I like the Half-Life save system...save anywhere, anytime...no limitations. No shitty 'you're in combat so you can't save because we don't want you to cheese it' nonsensical logic.

[orchid fox]

it exists u can make manual saves if u wanna do a certain point over a again but not the old kind of manual saves

u can have multiple account saves if u wish dou

(but i rather not)

[restive current]

Yea, that's fair. Multiple types of characters over multiple saves.

[restive current]

But I still prefer this. I don't get why developers can't let players play their games as they want.

[orchid fox]

i mean this is technically a lite live service (despite not being monetized to shit)

[restive current]

No MTX or anything?

[orchid fox]

nope

there is skins

but optional

[restive current]

Ah, so like DotA.

Cosmetic items.

[orchid fox]

this is all it has and thats just to support em for major updates

and that is a robbery

cuz 1 skin for every weapon + a armor set for all body parts + dye for everything for 8bucks

that is about 4 char, (3x2)x4) weapons and all dyeable

so about this plus god knows how many slots u can dye

2s

and this skin dye applies to any and all skins currently and future releases

[restive current]

So permanently available dyes.

[orchid fox]

ur literally robbing em

aye

[restive current]

But still...8-15 Euros... 😖

Per pack too.

[orchid fox]

2 body slots. 7 pickaxe slots. 3x2x4x(god forbid how many separate skin models) of weapons, plus boco for all their weapons etc etc @restive current

[orchid fox]

the 8 bucks skin dlc doesnt phase me

the 15 bucks one is literally just dlc to throw em some money with a lot of rewards and qol stuff

thats support one

[restive current]

Fortunately, any such things are only cosmetic, for people to show off, but yea, it's good that there's some way to support the developers.

[orchid fox]

i mean it is cuz its just a "hey u like this game?= wanna throw us some money?" and for that i say yes

they do way too much effort and fully worth the money

and its by coffe stain publishing

but ye they are technically indie ish

i know most of it is just show off skins but if its a game i wholeheartedly enjoy that dont release skins every fucking week i will pay for it

[restive current]

Huh, apparently same guys who did Goat Simulator and Satisfactory.

[orchid fox]

u gotta remember the seasons/major updates is months apart and they only release skins near major patch

[orchid fox]

imma just gonna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CilfQ1FeVg same owner being embracer group

not same company

not even connected

[primal loom]

Just same publisher

they sweep up some very solid devs

[snow zenith]

Where's

Coffee Stain in my shirt

because i've washed it twice and it's still there

😭

[orchid fox]

they all have same owners

not connected more than that

also theres only like 3 daily/weekly restrictions

1 is the daily deal for materials through basic mission credits

1 is the deep dives/elite deep dives (weekly thursday reset)

1 is the daily battlepass missions

100% free and contribution based if u play enough u can usually unblock this many skins per battlepass @restive current

so they are giving u WAY above ur money worth for 30 basegame bucks

cuz no mtas besides the supporter and skin packs

none

nada

[restive current]

No, I get that...they're just publishers.

Like how companies working for EA make games and EA publishes them.

[orchid fox]

i can admit its a bit of a grind for the upgrades but other than that i support em

[restive current]

Nothing wrong with that, it's what keeps them going.

[restive current]

I think Embracer owns Deus Ex too?

[restive current]

Every game has grind.

[restive current]

BTW, does this work in SP, or not?

There was no splash screen at the intro of the game explaining its premise

Feel like I got dumped into the universe with no idea of time or place

[primal loom]

It takes place between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope

It kills me in TWO HITS

[primal loom]

Oh yeah

I remember that lol

You can go back and fight him later, he's optional I think

The mighty Oggdo Bogdo froggo

[dry copper]

I figured out the no hit strategy

He does the same three hit combo pretty much. When he goes to bite, roll into his left, strike, repeat...He does the same bite over and over until he's ready to power move in which case....roll into his left side again...

The trick is to keep the gap closed and roll into his left side...take your time...hit once per roll and don't get greedy

What is this

ugh...recessive content

Apparently linked to a future ability requiring me to come back here later

[snow zenith]

I guess you never played metroidvanias uh

[dry copper]

The closest thing to metroidvania I played was a castlevania game

There is this dog looking worm thing annoys me...Looks like a tiny version of oggdo, but white colored

Burrows in the ground

Pops up and hits me before I can even nail it. So I gotta dodge and hit more with this lesser pissant than I did boggdo

OTOH...Deus Ex is equally fun. Moment you Alt-Tab out, game locks up.

Congrats

I love Elden Ring

I’ve beaten it like 3 times, havent played in a while now

[placid moat]

Made an Orc Witchhunter, coupled with some mods it is one of the most intriguing builds yet.

Coupled with the Warlock's Ring, I gain a 20p ward whenever I am blocking with a weapon. I am using a shadowey greatsword, so I advance on mages and dragons alike whilst absorbing their ranged attacks before pummeling them with my sword. I use magic purely for supplementary reasons i.e. healing, providing light, waterwalking/breathing and the like.

[weak tiger]

ooooo

that sounds sick

And all of this on a PS5 with limited mods. I did use a room to assemble the pieces to test the playstyle and the look of the build, it looks pretty swanky in my eyes. Will have to upload an image or two.

Fun mod, but it's really ugly and the balancing clearly hates ranged weapons

Hehe, I cheat like that too

Loving the game itself

But I'm really really not enjoying duviri

Like the combat for the drifter just isn't interesting for me

On the plus side, the base game is very good and I really want to do the main story content

[weak tiger]

Lowkey thinking of a weekly writing challenge too. I have a year-long writing project this year that I really fell behind on because a lot of shit happened in the past few months. Would be nice to set a routine for that instead of rewriting the same 2k words every few weeks lmao

[placid moat]

I will be here rooting for you, hope the past few months will make way for better future months!

And you got this. I almost forgot I send you that Storn Snowblood document some time ago, writing about something you enjoy is far easier!

[weak tiger]

Absolutely! Fun to read and chat with other writing enthusiast

[placid moat]

Used to write a lot of roleplaying in forums/chat clients. Back then when I was 12, the Internet was vastly different and a lot of fun to engage in random places.

[weak tiger]

Oh yeah. Old internet (old as in like ten years ago lol) was incredibly different

Now it’s all people saying ‘oh you’re having fun? ew cringe’ like mf I saw what 13 year old me wrote, I’m immune to being called cringe. Slight tangent lmao but I just want to write what makes me happy

[weak tiger]

[placid moat]

[dry dirge]

Daily might be a bit much

[placid moat]

I am glad 1.0 made way for 2.0. Because our cringe shit got nuked to oblivion the moment some random server went offline in a specific place, including the website.

The days of seething jealousy, rage, writing partners disappearing or trading you in.

[dry dirge]

Unfortunately I'm terrible at Gamedev, so if I tried making that RPG maker project I'd need to make the art first and I'm bad at pixel art 😩

[weak tiger]

My yearlong project is for worldbuilding, 50k words entirely of history and characters and geography and plot and everything. going ground up so next year can be drafting

There’s SO MUCH I can do with it so the word count isn’t the problem. Just need time

[dry dirge]

All my worldbuilding stuff is exclusively inside my head

[red totem]

yeah, tbh I don't really like drifter combat, like I feel like it just turns into the normal game after a bit, I find myself just mashing B and RT when they have the target sign

tbh the only reason I really do duviri is so I can rank up my kaithe intrinsics so I can use it anywhere

I like the idea of random load outs for undercroft though

I guess it kinda let's people see how different frames work

and then they can try and get them if they like them

By the same token a company can claim damages based on future losses, a content creator whose content that is legitimately theirs suffers significantly more per improper DMCA takedown than a company would for copyright violation.

The formula for loss is magnitudes higher for an individual whose career is crushed at its infancy

This is why I hate react videos so fucking much. There are content creators making content that's getting ripped off by larger content handlers.

They aren't even creators. They're just thieves.

Thanks to those idiotic brothers, "react" videos are considered transformative...I wonder to what level of saturation a market has to suffer before the transformative nature of content theft is subject to the criticism of its own hypocrisy.

I would love to hear this song with a heavy metal backing. Electric guitars Polyphia style with screaming the vocals like something from Max Cavalera

I really only know of Max Cavalera from one music video by Apocalyptica

[weak tiger]

On YouTube shorts, I assume since I watch mostly artists I get recommended react videos where the person just stares deadfaced at the camera while someone draws something or poorly cropped just straight up stolen content from artists

React videos are really off putting for me

I can see livestream reactions being a thing, like watching w viewers then discussing thoughts? But people who just sit in front of a camera, say a word or two now and then, and call that transformative?

Wooo Ted Talk Time!

I hate trauma essays.

They're always pushed so hard they rob a victim of their own pain

"YOUR PAIN MUST BE GAIN"

I'm like....fuck you.

Pain doesn't have to be gain. It's okay to fall down.

How dare you link a tedtalk I need to watch right before I fall asleep

This is something I feel strongly about

It's ok Wormy

I've been up since 5 am because some DUMBFUCK

decided to break one of the servers by launching it without the engines on

[dry copper]

I'd like to be a librarian.

This Ted Talk reminded me of that thought.

😬

[dry copper]

Have you ever met someone so conceited that they look for pitty even when they're wrong and unwilling to correct themselves?

They'll say sorry, but it's always a backhanded apology

Like you're at fault for even wanting it

[weak tiger]

Ah my favorite brand of self-centered assholishness

[placid moat]

Fuck 'em. In the most rudest fashion possible.

I just had someone who paged me after a year of not talking (and I barely know them) and wanting to use me to make a game account through their referral code, so they could get in-game rewards.

I politely declined and they were like "Will this be a problem for you?" and asked if I don't want to make them happy and get their in-game reward.

And they call me weird when I told them their personality/approach got issues. What. The. Hell.

[idle saffron]

Wouldn't have flown very far that way

This piece of shit won't even load my library

EAapp is like

I'm thinking...fuckface...it's 8AM on a Tuesday. You aren't overloaded.

[orchid fox]

and people ask me why i keep to steam

[dry copper]

Do they, though?

[orchid fox]

ive had arguments over steam vs other launchers yes

[sleek cloud]

EA app has been awful since day 1

[dry copper]

Question: In Jedi Survivor, do enemies repop every time you meditate? Did they do away with that annoying mechanic?

I like exploring...if I have to re-explore a dungeon...having completed the story for that dungeon, it makes no sense that enemies are repopping in it

[fleet moat]

@idle saffron would know

Oh and @primal loom too

[orchid fox]

@restive current next steam next fest june 19th so possible drg sale

[primal loom]

They respawn if you choose the option to rest during a meditation, restores hp, stims, and respawns non-boss enemies

[tame cairn]

It’s basically a Dark Souls thing that they copied

To be honest I hope they didnt remove it in Jedi Survivor

I was even considering upgrading for an outfit

but this experience is not worth money

[restive current]

Is it on GOG? 'Cause I hate using Steam.

[dry copper]

hahaha, some doofus asked me to fill out a survey for EAApp

They aren't going to like my responses, if they were expecting good.

"EA App is worse than Origin, and that's saying something"

[idle saffron]

Ris answered, but yep they respawn

[orchid fox]

uh i dont think so

also theres no crossplay between platforms

[restive current]

Crossplay doesn't matter for me, but I'll see if it's on GOG...if not, then...we'll see.

[balmy plaza]

They do repopulate, but most of the places you'll be going back to explore are a lot more open and are not dungeons

Deus Ex, Invisible War, Human Revolution, and Mankind Divided

ah

[dreamy zinc]

these 2

[dry dirge]

you should play the old one, it's pretty awesome

not invisible war tho

[restive current]

Yea, the original DX.

[dreamy zinc]

then nope

[restive current]

Was wondering if anyone played and had experience with modifying it.

[dreamy zinc]

but seems @dry dirge did

[restive current]

No hate.

[dreamy zinc]

you mean mods?

[restive current]

Did you modify the game with various renderers?

[restive current]

Sort of, but in this case, rendering the game.

[dreamy zinc]

if so check the NexusMods discord

they can help a lot there

[dry dirge]

Nope, never modified it

[restive current]

Hmm...fair. I'm trying to use D3D11 and the game's performance tanks a lot, so I was wondering. Will check out in Nexus.

[quaint escarp]

forza horizon 5 good? premium is on sale and i want a good racing game

[dreamy zinc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crmt8XySrL0

[charred badge]

stupid infinite ammo aoe bow

lol

[winter yew]

i loved it

it wasnt the best entry into the series, like most modern horizon games arent, but it was very good i enjoyed it a lot and the map is huge

my only complaint about it is with all the cars they have in the game they dont bother to get some of the more normal or rare car models from each manufacturer in

and well, it is very arcadey, like its realistic for forza standards

but if youre into more simulator type games like asetto corsa or iracing, then maybe not for you you'll find it very easy

[tame cairn]

i have it downloaded and play it fairly often

I really wouldnt say Forza Horizon is that Arcadey

NFS is arcade

I’ve played Asetto, it’s alright

I’d rather play Forza just because it sounds better and looks better

[winter yew]

depends on which one, actually no it really doesnt theyre all pretty arcadey, can be somewhat rectified by playing on all realistic settings although you might rip your hair out

[tame cairn]

im confused tbh

explain more

its hard to read that sentence

[winter yew]

all the forza horizon games are pretty arcadey, driving doesnt really mimic real life too well is all i was saying, which is fine, it does the job well enough and presents itself as such, but if youre coming from iracing or asetto corsa or even beamng, you might be underwhelmed and find it too easy.

[tame cairn]

alright

[winter yew]

its good if you just wanna relax, enjoy the scenery, listen to good sounds, look at the good graphics and just spit roast some ai, but if youre the kinda guy who owns a wheel and 3 monitors or a vr headset for your racing games it might not be for you.

[tame cairn]

i dont get it

i use a wheel

whats bad about using a wheel on it?

[winter yew]

nothing, dont be a twitter user, i just said you might not enjoy it if youre into really hardcore sim racing

[tame cairn]

df

lol

im just trying to understand my guy

[winter yew]

well, they say the 3rd times the charm

let me do this slowly

[tame cairn]

oh my…

[winter yew]

if youre into really difficult sim racing games, like dirt rally, or asetto corsa, or beamng, or iracing, then you might hate it because its too easy, or the driving physics are too arcadey.

[tame cairn]

i dont see it

but ok

[winter yew]

thats just what ive personally seen the horizon series criticized for, fun to play, most definitely not a simulator

[tame cairn]

ok

say it one more time for me please

[winter yew]

the other thing i dont like about is, over the years theyve removed a lot of stuff you could do to cars, and made certain things only able to be done on certain cars, as well as the level of customization just never changing between games.

and if you wanna be competitive in online you pretty much have to use all wheel drive, front wheel drive cars experience an unreasonable amount of wheelspin, its been a problem in every horizon game

[tame cairn]

I’m pretty sure customization has to do with licenses

but yeah it is annoying

[winter yew]

sorry not front wheel drive

rear wheel drive my bad

well, i could understand if the selection of vehicles had to do with licensing, thats reasonable, but do they have to license the ability to swap any engine into any car?

[tame cairn]

Well, I definitely don’t play for competitiveness. I mostly drift or cruise because the game sounds and looks so good.

[tame cairn]

If it’s in the game I guess not? I don’t know how it works, I don’t work on Forza Horizon

[winter yew]

yea exactly, if its an engine thats already in the game, clearly no licensing issues, let me put a v8 engine in like a volkwagen bug or something

[tame cairn]

Okay, so based off that assumption there’s no licensing issues?

Well

lol

[winter yew]

manufacturer aint gonna have an issue with you swapping an engine into a car, if they did, they would have raised hell already about you being able to put the turbo inline 4 in practically every car in the game

[tame cairn]

I’m sure if they could they would’ve since it’s kinda a problem in Forza Horizon

[winter yew]

if you added a whole car without permission then there would be an issue

[winter yew]

playground games also just sucks at making decisions

[tame cairn]

Yeah, I’m just talking about all the other stuff you can do to it with customization

Like actually changing the looks of the car

with kits

[winter yew]

oh thats what you mean, boy i wish there was more options there too

that, i can understand why they dont let you do

thats definitely licensing issues, probably why there hasnt been any cool body kits in 5 so far

thats another big complaint i have about 5 especially over 4

[tame cairn]

you can swap engines though in forza

[winter yew]

no cool body kits

[winter yew]

you can, but you can go crazy with it, most cars its like "do you want the stock engine or do you want a turbo rally engine?"

[tame cairn]

me who puts a i6 2JZ in a AE86

[winter yew]

ye, you can put that in an ae86, but thats from the same manufacturer, you couldnt put a big block dodge v8 or something in an ae86

or a suzuki hayabusa engine

[tame cairn]

nah, im pretty sure you can do more

at least last i played you could

which wasnt long ago

[winter yew]

last i played, which also wasnt that long ago, it was limited to engines from the same manufacturer, or some cars could get a v8, and all cars could get the turbo rally engine

its limited to what people do in real life, 2jz swap is a common thing to do to an 86 in real life, so they gave you the option in the game

[tame cairn]

alright whatever you say 👍

[winter yew]

just looked it up, on the forza wiki, in horizon 5 you can put an inline 4, v8, and 2jz, so yea, whatever i say.

[tame cairn]

jesus christ

this guy

and he tells me not to be a twitter user

[winter yew]

"if you have a racing wheel setup and a vr headset and play a lot of iracing you might not like horizon"-me "i have a racing wheel what are you trying to say!"-you

[tame cairn]

absolutely gottem

so if you can engine swap, i dont see the problem tbh

[winter yew]

im just relaying information to support what im saying about the game, youre the one whos getting tilted lmao

[tame cairn]

youre complaining about nothing

[winter yew]

^my point exactly, no im not, im just saying the pros and cons of the game

[tame cairn]

yes i am so mad!!

[winter yew]

.

i said, i like the game, i just dont think its perfect

[tame cairn]

except

you can

two different kinds of v8’s

[winter yew]

yea, you got me there, i did say no v8

i still wish there was more engine options

[tame cairn]

in fact ae86 has like 7 different engine choices

i can put a v8 in a s2000

[winter yew]

theyre all different versions of the same engine type, which is why i didnt bother mentioning it, my point is, i wish i could put every engine in the game inside of it

[tame cairn]

yikes

that wouldnt work

[winter yew]

why?

[tame cairn]

in real life can you just do that?

lol

v12 in a s2000

[winter yew]

in real life they cut pieces of the body out to fit bigger engines, but weve been over this, its not realistic anyway, its a game, let me do it because its a game, and its not meant to be realistic in the first place

[tame cairn]

right, forza horizon isnt meant to be realistic

something ive never heard

sure its arcadey

but this isnt CarX

Calm down

now that

[winter yew]

its not, its a virtual playground for cars, removing customizability defeats the purpose, is it hurting you for there to be a ton of engine swap options or something?

[tame cairn]

would be a licensing issue

if you try to take apart a car to put in a fucking engine just because

i mean the answer is just pretty obvious

that would be stupid

[winter yew]

i never said they should change the appearance of the car drastically to fit the engine in, they should just let you, you dont cut pieces of the car out to do it with the current engines, why would you do it with any other engine type? that aside, are you installing a body kit made by a company like liberty walk? no? then no, taking the bumper away or cutting parts of the chassis out to fit an engine wouldnt cause licensing issues lmao

[tame cairn]

You’re the kind of guy if you had a RX-7 irl you would LS swap it

[winter yew]

fuck no i wouldnt, i would swap a rotary engine into a toyota 86 though

[tame cairn]

thats just what i get from you wanting non stop swaps

it makes sense why you can put a rotary in an ae86 in forza though

[winter yew]

sounds cool to me, hey if someone wants to ls swap their rx7, who am i to stop them, i dont have to agree with it but they should have the option

[tame cairn]

or any other car

besides rotaries

its a very different machine

[winter yew]

it doesnt make sense, but its a game, it already doesnt make sense

and to counter that point, here is a real life 86 with a rotary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl0_YKN0J14

[tame cairn]

ok pay for the licensing please 🙏

then we can have that

[winter yew]

there is no licensing, the engines are in the game already lmao

[tame cairn]

okay, just become a dev

solved

[winter yew]

strawman argument, and completely besides the point, but ok, im not hating on the game, dont know why youre being such a dick

[tame cairn]

no im not being a dick

trust me

[winter yew]

people dont do engine swaps because they make sense, or because its practical, they do it because its cool

[tame cairn]

alright

👍

[winter yew]

except in the case of the v8 ls swap you mentioned earlier, practicality could be argued there cause ls engines are just more reliable than rotaries

[tame cairn]

ive basically tried to end this 3 times now

[winter yew]

away you go then

[tame cairn]

this man

[tame cairn]

my argument for this is don’t buy a rotary if you arent gonna use it

rx7’s are know for their rotaries

you know what youre getting into

dont desecrate the rx7

[dry copper]

Yeah...Don't ...what?

[tame cairn]

violate the rx7???

[dry copper]

Why not?

[tame cairn]

because thats wrong

[dry copper]

I violate my samsung all the time.

[tame cairn]

becoming less and less

becoming more and more $

[winter yew]

ok, well my argument was that the customization system in horizon 5 is rather dull, and that a contributing factor to that is the lack of variety in engine swaps, theres no reason not to let you swap any engine in since theyre all there in the game anyway, this is one of the few negative things i have to say about the game, dont know why youre suddenly bringing the whole dont desecrate an rx-7 up, i thought you wanted to stop sorry?

[dry copper]

omg becky, look at her buick

[dry copper]

uh...It costs a fortune to get a license to use a real world car.

The company that made the car might take issue with you using their competitors engines

[winter yew]

to use a car yes, but the engines are already in the game, im talking about engine swap customization, not adding new cars

[tame cairn]

you can already swap a good amount

[dry copper]

The engines are not divorced from the licensing for the car.

[tame cairn]

the real customization problem in forza is the cosmetics not even the interals

[winter yew]

you could say that, but the engine swaps currently available in the game already have competitors engines being swapped into different cars, theyre also generic in name, they dont get labelled as from a particular manufacturer

i agree with the cosmetics, but i stand by my point, would like more engine swap options too, every engine in every car

[tame cairn]

thats dumb

but alright

[dry copper]

Oh so then it can already be done. So what's the issue? The developers never made it more accessible?

[tame cairn]

thats not realistic

wouldnt happen

forza tries to be realistic

[winter yew]

you havent given me a compelling argument as to the reason its dumb, and ive even shown off "dumb" engine swap examples in real life, but ok

[tame cairn]

even though to some its not enough

[dry copper]

I mean...I hate in Jedi Fallen Order, I can't get a new outfit unless I buy an upgrade to the game...All the outfits in the game are just reskins of the same outfit.

So...MOD time!

[tame cairn]

Yes it makes me sad

[winter yew]

this is exactly the issue, there is no argument for it, especially if youve seen the ridiculous engine swaps that happen in real life, theres the realism argument, however i find that to be moot as forza horizon is not a realistic game, you can already swap engines which would be ridiculous to cars, why not go full hog wild with it.

[tame cairn]

Just certain engines cant be swapped into certain cars which is barely any, I think he’s mostly angry that you can’t put a rotary in anything you want to

[dry copper]

Licensing costs money. The company that made the game doesn't wanna pay for it. You can do it with a mod (technically).

[winter yew]

its not a licensing issue if the engines are generically labelled, not tied to a manufacturer, and its not a licensing issue if theyre already in the game

[tame cairn]

so yeah i think its the rotary hes complaining about

since the “already in the game” thing

[winter yew]

you act like this is an insult, but i mean if someone wanted to do that, whats your problem with it exactly?

[dry copper]

It is a licensing issue if the manufacturer said you can't do it to their name brand item

[tame cairn]

Bro, everything I do is dickish or rude or an insult.

Are you just soft?

I’m simply talking

conversing

[dry copper]

When you get a license to a brand, the license includes very strict use terms

[winter yew]

if you couldnt, they would stop at only swapping in engines whom are made by the same manufacturer, if you have any evidence to the contrary please present it

[dry copper]

You didn't ask for proof. You asked for reason. It's not my fault you don't want reason anymore.

[winter yew]

i dont know, youre the one offended about the fact that someone would want a rotary engine in all their cars, making a real big deal out of it, and a simple change made to a game you like that you think is realistic, are you soft?

[tame cairn]

im offended?

no im saying its unreal

just stop man

[winter yew]

i shared a video with you of a rotary engine put inside of an 86, something you said didnt make sense....

[tame cairn]

i give up

[tame cairn]

congrats you found one guy

[dry copper]

www.nexusmods.com

[tame cairn]

now show me every car in the world, swapped with a rotary

unreal

[winter yew]

i understand the reason, but why would licensing issues not come up with engines that are already considered "competitors" engines, thats my reasoning here.

[tame cairn]

really

the simple answer is

because playground games wanted to

🫡

now goodbye

[winter yew]

i dont know why i even entertained this, its. a. game lmao

[dry copper]

I mean it's not unheard of for a game developer to just stop making a game after they deem it finished.

[tame cairn]

.

[dry copper]

Maybe the developer wants to know how much you love rotary swapping?

You should contact them.

Give them PASSION

A little sweat and tears and voila...update to game

Pretty game tho

Forza Horizon 5

[winter yew]

regular updates still happen, the car doesnt change appearances when the new engine goes in, the engines arent tied to a specific manufacturer, theyre just generic engines, they dont have a manufaturer, its not tied to a brand, if it was tied to a brand i could understand licensing issues coming up, but theyre just called generic names like "v8, i4, i6, v12, they dont even have a cylinder layout associated to them

[tame cairn]

uhhhh

[winter yew]

i mean, this doesnt have anything to do with rotary engines, i was just using it as an example cause it got brought up, i like the rotary, but i wouldnt want it in every car

[tame cairn]

6.2L V8

[winter yew]

the mating call of someone who has nothing left to say.

[dry copper]

I can see lots of reasons to design a game with limitations to engines. Force you to buy a new car to get what you want...It's a way to force engagement

[tame cairn]

thats a gm engine

what do you mean

truck engine

[winter yew]

is it called that in game? or is it just called a 6.2 liter v8? exactly

[tame cairn]

It is spelled exactly like 6.2L V8

look up that engine

GM engine

[winter yew]

gm ecotech l86 6.2l v8 engine

[tame cairn]

goes into multiple trucks so not really a specific

[winter yew]

that is a manufacturers engine

that is not what is in the game

[tame cairn]

That’s literally what it is though

[weak tiger]

whats goin on over here?

[dry copper]

Maybe it's called the 6.2l v8 because they knew car fanatics would know it's a GM, but nobody else would

[winter yew]

it is what its supposed to be yea, but this is why they avoided naming them, and having every manufacturers take on the v8 in the game, because it would have caused licensing issues

[dry copper]

We're in the thick of a conversation on the nature of existence of a general motor.

[winter yew]

exactly what ive been trying to say this entire time, its like how games use look alike cars, then name them something else or change the styling slightly

[tame cairn]

The only thing forza didnt get licenses for: engines

x to doubt

[winter yew]

people know what its supposed to be, but it wont get them into legal hot water to have it as an engine swap option in the game

[weak tiger]

ah, a topic I have zero knowledge on

[winter yew]

my turn, you wanted reason, i gave it to you

[dry copper]

To be fair - I don't know that there isn't a day that GTA Vice City was popular it wasn't being either actively sued for that or threatened with it.

[winter yew]

thats fair, ill give you that, maybe someone would find a reason to sue them anyway, my question is, how successful were those lawsuits

[dry copper]

No idea. I stopped caring after GTA San Andreas

[winter yew]

my other question is, if its a big issue, why havent they been sued already for allowing clearly american v8 engines to be put into japanese cars?

[dry copper]

The legal backing for GTA is huge.

I can't help but chuckle picturing a japanese car.

[quaint escarp]

gta doesnt use real cars

[dry copper]

"Look at me! I'm a Toyota!"

[quaint escarp]

so they can get away with it

[winter yew]

this man joined the conversation late

we arent talking about gta, mumbles was just using it to illustrate a point, were talking about forza horizon engine swaps

[dry copper]

I'm angry with Toyota for dicking around in the electric car industry but never committing to putting the i-road in North America

im the opposite, i like toyota because they havent yet killed ALL of their sports cars

[dry copper]

The car industry has been doing this to destroy new electric vehicle companies for literally decades

[tame cairn]

well i already gave my reason for it

what sports cars does toyota even have anymore

[dry copper]

They funnel investors away from indie electric car manufacturers on the hope of a vehicle they will never bring to market

[winter yew]

supra, gt86, not much else, thats why i said they havent killed ALL of them yet, it could still happen

at which point ill lose respect for them

[tame cairn]

i already lost supra respect

when the mk5 came out

that bitch is ugly

[winter yew]

i did too, but then i drove one in real life

sounds great, doesnt look that bad imo, and man, did i mention the engine sounds great like holy fuck

fast too

[tame cairn]

it sounds alright, but nah it looks bad

[dry copper]

Looks cool. I dig the murdering people with my childhood.

[tame cairn]

supras look like bullets

then theres…

that thing

[winter yew]

i thought at first, its grown on me, has the same general body shape as the mk4, which is surprising, because the mk3 and mk4 were way, way different from each other

[dry copper]

I don't know how 2D sprites as NPC is going to work out in a 3D game, but thats an interesting take

[winter yew]

it wouldnt be my first choice for a modern vehicle, if i could afford that kind of thing

[tame cairn]

no it doesnt…

lol

[winter yew]

but, its not the worst thing in the world

and all the shit people say about it being underpowered compared to the old one, full of it

600 horsepower, stock

[tame cairn]

v8 sadness

oh i was lied to

word

[winter yew]

2023 gr supra has a 3 liter inline 6 my guy

[tame cairn]

well thats a plus

[winter yew]

and it sounds fucking bomb

in regular mode its reserved

in sport mode my god

theres pops and bangs for days

[dry copper]

The future of motors is camless

[tame cairn]

i just honestly dont like the front

it looks odd to me

and the built in spoiler thing

lip

[winter yew]

fronts a little weird but, overall i really enjoyed the styling, i hated it at first but well, getting to drive it made my opinion about it change

[tame cairn]

Too round

Let me drive in a cube

mk4 isnt but

i dont really like mk4 too much either

id rather have a 3 or 2

this guy i know has a 2

its great

[winter yew]

mk3 supra is my favorite one, but i dont hate the mk5

[dry copper]

I like vehicles at this point that aren't even commercial, they're so new. I mean, technically you can get an Arcimoto, but it's got a 2 year waiting list

By the time you get it, there will be something cheaper and better

[winter yew]

my dream car is a 2016 alpine a110, thats peak car for me

the only shitty thing about it is it doesnt have a full manual transmission, only paddle shifters

[dry copper]

Hell. Even in the time people who bought the Arc two years ago, a new tilt version was made

[quaint escarp]

anyways i got the premium edition of fh5

[winter yew]

the opening cutscene is fucking dope

[winter yew]

Season 17 battle pass kinda ass tbh

"Lanterns are no longer considered an offhand but have their own slot in the character equipment. Any currently equipped lantern will be moved to the new slot, freeing up the offhand slot to be used for any other offhand item." < core keeper change thats a godscend. as someone that previously had to mass swap offhand for lantern this is making me so extremely happy

[dry copper]

I wonder if Kaden Mackay is in Avenue Q

He sounds like that lot

[visual scarab]

[orchid fox]

[visual scarab]

I really should finish Stardew Valley too

Lil shit cousin deleted my 60h savegame last year so I haven't been able to get back into it until now

[orchid fox]

oof

[neon tusk]

Oof

[orchid fox]

also according to devs the map is endless outwards soooo

my inner circle

fully zoomed out

[visual scarab]

God damn

[orchid fox]

for sense of scale heres the railway

it literally doesnt render at full zoom out

[dry copper]

ho-lee-shit...The moment you realize where you are after being captured by bounty hunters

Fallen Order

and that music just comes in at the perfect time

It's like that scene from Control where the music queues up in the maze

[visual scarab]

You mean the ashtray maze?

[visual scarab]

Looking forward to try it lol

[dusk hill]

Hullo

Looks like you guys talking bout other games

Who plays FIFA 22 here ?

Bruh

No responses. Okay then. I'm just gonna leave this here

[dry copper]

yes.

Though the fallen order situation isn't as good

because the music stops and gets interrupted by an annoying npc

[orchid fox]

im hatching a 🐱

[dry copper]

meow ow ow ow

[tame cairn]

neat

[dry copper]

Did you know you can fly in fallen order?

I didn't....until now

[orchid fox]

that moment i wanna host sandbox games to avoid paused timers offline but god say "gimme 12 bucks"

[tame cairn]

rewatching the princess bride now

because of yesterday

[orchid fox]

[limber frigate]

[broken prairie]

Anyone hyped for V rising update in a week

[dry copper]

Never played it.

[broken prairie]

Only one way to fix it

[dry copper]

Delete?

[dry dirge]

You're losing so much money 😩

[frigid yarrow]

Cause I havent even started the city yet

Im setting the streets

[dry dirge]

Nice roads though

I never play with unlimited money myself, but people make some really cool things with it

[red totem]

damn I definitely gotta make a relaxing spotify playlist with outer wilds songs

tbh I still haven't gotten to -spoilers ahead- ||the eye of the universe, those damn anglerfish in Dark Bramble are so annoying, and then I have to bring the warp core? I haven't even gotten to the ship normally!!||

also I still haven't done the whole confusing bits of the dlc

like all the worlds hurt my little brain

[dry dirge]

I didn't really like Outer Wilds, but I adored the ost

[red totem]

My opinion on you has diminished.

Well for the first point

second point is valid 👌

[dry dirge]

Just randomly rolled this the sheer luck

not a red item

[dry copper]

When modders make better outfits than developers

[dreamy zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/no-capes-edna-ednamode-pixar-incredibles-gif-10908379

[dry copper]

That's a robe.

Jedi robe

It comes with a cloak

[dreamy zinc]

still not handy for combat

unless its raining

then you might get less wet

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-cape-take-off-ewan-mcgregor-gif-16358958

[red totem]

Made a wip Outer Wilds playlist with a mix of songs from the dlc, and fanmade.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Vm2RRTYJmzTmB4AXTMx6O?si=aNxIMooIRCeeCVRew3SagQ

the [hopefully] philosophical quote was made by me, which totally didn't take like 5 minutes

[coarse swift]

Wish I could like Outer Wilds

[dry copper]

Better?

[red totem]

How could you not like it?

[coarse swift]

Is not for me

[red totem]

it looks like cal has some black towels on his head :/

[dry copper]

He does. It's starkiller's ceremonial robes from Star Wars

[red totem]

I totally know what that is

uhuh

[coarse swift]

Something I've never really enjoyed is the mechanic of "resetting progress on a timer" constantly. It's why I don't like Majora's Mask.

To my understanding Outer Wilds is also a puzzle game, which I'm not really looking for puzzle games atm

But I mean credit where it's due, the game and the scope of it looks very good. I can see why so many people love it

It's just not for me

[orchid fox]

adorable lil firecat :3

[tame cairn]

omg

the force unleashed

i wish starkiller was real

canon

both his (Anakins) padawans would have used backhanded sabers

[red totem]

It's more so a brain game then puzzles

What makes the game so good is the fact you can't play it twice
