On the games its struggling with you could try dropping to half v-sync for 72 fps @ 1440p, or drop resolution to 1080p and see if it hits 144 fps

[orchid fox]

i cant wait for the 14th

[thorn dawn]

what happens on the 14th

[dry dirge]

yess I love enslaving species

[orchid fox]

exoprimal release

was super fun in beta

[dry dirge]

Okay so I got the Total War Warhammer trilogy for the summer sale and it's fun, but damn do I suck at it

[primal loom]

[dry dirge]

finally

screw that duck

[orchid fox]

oh right that clip lol

[dry copper]

This has been another episode of "How it should've ended"

[thorn dawn]

[charred badge]

DSL was freezing, so it's cleaning day for my small gba collection!

Hopefully contacts were the issue

[balmy plaza]

Ngl I feel like halo infinite should just be abandoned at this stage

Or relaunched

[idle saffron]

You have no Mario game.

It’s a Mario System

[charred badge]

Add it to the "failed live shooter" pile

[charred badge]

Gba Mario? Eh.

[balmy plaza]

It's such a shame. For some reason, my final straw is how they've "improved" shaders in the game

[charred badge]

I mean, it had good ones, but still... Rather have more unique games, like Kojima Vampire Killer

[idle saffron]

Mario vs Donkey Kong

[balmy plaza]

You can now get each one for every armour set, but you unlock them seperately

[charred badge]

Have a better one on 3ds

[dry dirge]

reported

[idle saffron]

Yeah

[balmy plaza]

So the season pass has 5 of the same skin

[idle saffron]

When Nintendo finds out, well

You be gone

[charred badge]

I don't like lemmings on non-mouse/touch systems

[dry dirge]

miyamoto-san is so angry rn

Frothing

[idle saffron]

[charred badge]

Starts fine and detects carts. Forgot it has some smudging in the bottom screen from when I replaced that. -.-

[crystal gyro]

@proper spire If you like Rishloo, definitely check out Caligula's Horse

[proper spire]

Caligula's horse

ok

[crystal gyro]

yes, theyre also awesome

i think also an aussie band iirc

[proper spire]

I'll check it out but you need to try karnivool as well

https://open.spotify.com/track/5HivwgFRhKKKwOqZ1lN6yO?si=34b5dee109874c15

[crystal gyro]

oh yes, definitely listened to karnivool haha

[proper spire]

you've listened to karnivool!?

[crystal gyro]

yeah, theyre great as well

[proper spire]

First online person I've found that I've met that likes karnivool

excluding places you'd expect to meet a karnivool fan

alright, well I'll listen to Caligula's horse now

hmm, they've got a ton of albums!

[crystal gyro]

Caligula's Horse is closer to Karnivool now that i think about it

yeah, theyre super solid

[proper spire]

Listening to marigold and it is good so far, alright I'll listen to it while playing and report back lol

already love the vibe though, I really love complex vocals

[crystal gyro]

Bloom leading into Marigold is absolute bliss imo

that album (Bloom) is fantastic

[proper spire]

hmm, I'll drop this song and listen to the album from the start then

[crystal gyro]

Also Tide, Thief and River's End is an incredible album, i must have listeend to it hundreds of times now

[proper spire]

I like listening to songs that are ordered

[crystal gyro]

Yeah, Bloom into Marigold definitely seems like the intent imo

[proper spire]

also they've got great album art

which I really respect

[crystal gyro]

yeah, their album art reminds me of Plini's album artwork. wonder if same artist

[proper spire]

I'm a huge sucker for the asymmetry album art

infact you might have noticed my discord pic is the cover

the birds of tokyo universes cover and feathergun also have pretty solid covers

[crystal gyro]

lol, i have now noticed haha

that artwork always gave me Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark vibes

alternatively, Gris if youve ever played that

[dry copper]

"Hello Sir. I'll take 'Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark vibes' for 100"

What is that image supposed to be of?

It looks like a body mangled by wire

[snow zenith]

We should play together

[dry dirge]

Maybe if I get better, sure

[dry copper]

Fail upwards

With friends, what you don't get in skill you get in friends

Experience

[snow zenith]

I'll carry u it's ok

[dry copper]

Awww, a personal jesus

[proper spire]

The albums core theme is assymetry

Basically the bands second* album was very "over produced" it sounded great and did really well but the band wanted a more gutteral sound

They decided for their third* album to make the album very dissonant, but to still harmonize it. The middle of the album has a song called "asymmetry" which is basically just 50 seconds of very hard to distinguish rhythms and sounds which splits the album into two assymetrical parts, the idea is the album doesn't have to be symmetrical to sound good, and there is art in the "chaos"

The album cover is a reflection of that

its basically two people that are asymmetrical to each other

[dry copper]

Two people or one person in two?

[proper spire]

its basically the same thing

thats the idea

its the same person, but they aren't the same

[snow zenith]

So,

a rebis

[dry copper]

Rebus Mackintire

Kinda love her spirited energy

She's so perky

[snow zenith]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebis

[dry copper]

Reba is the kinda person you just want in your life somewhere

Like an ornament

Or one of those 8balls that tells you no or yes

Or a full on adult that wears pajamas

That might be a cover to keep her clothes clean while she gets her hair done, but I think it looks like an adorable onesy

Bunny people?

[charred badge]

I'm still waiting on the most obvious module: the ds4/xbone/steam controller/basically everything pot

[orchid fox]

uuuuuuh lemme see if i can find a pg image without their default outfit

[restive current]

https://tenor.com/view/i-can-only-show-you-the-door-youre-the-one-that-has-to-walk-through-it-neo-the-matrix-gif-14277866

The door...to galaxy-wide genocide!

[orchid fox]

literal humanoid bunnies hence the "i find it funny" @fluid hare

[restive current]

Game?

[orchid fox]

im not posting any female screenshot cuz most of google has the default fem outfit thats skimpy

ffxiv

[restive current]

Also, only bunny ears, not even a literal bunny.

[orchid fox]

shadowbringers race

[restive current]

They got some real bright hair for being 'shadow' bringers.

[fluid hare]

Long ears like Tighnari.

[dry dirge]

ffxiv is weird

[orchid fox]

thats just a preset someones screenshot

its a char creator etc

reason i am reluctant to post female ones

semi skimpy outfit if this is goin against ur rules feel free to delete

[restive current]

Girl's pretty, but...why do female characters always have skin-exposing clothes?

[orchid fox]

its eastern game what do u expect

[restive current]

Most fantasy games, not just talking about FF.

[fluid hare]

It’s just a kinda shitty thing to do.

[orchid fox]

oh ye i agree dont get me wrong idk why its common

[restive current]

'Sex sells'...and I, for one, would never be able to play such a game at home, because of those attires.

[fluid hare]

The skimpy armour itself is super impractical!

[restive current]

Armour being skimpy itself is an oxymoron... 😆

(OTOH, having magical shields to defend might alleviate the practical parts)

[dry dirge]

Why do the male Roegadyn look like damn Hulk and the female ones are just...

[orchid fox]

i mean, im doin it with family breathing down my neck changing glam plates which has char literally in their underwear til u slot armors in, which can be wierd when some players play the "kids" race which ive char changed into on occasion

[restive current]

Fan-service at its finest.

[orchid fox]

lala = adult dwarfs etc

[restive current]

Our home is quite conservative, in such aspects...TBH, most of India is, so such clothes = 🤮

[tame cairn]

This is why I don’t play a lot of jrpgs

or eastern games

[restive current]

See? Now isn't that nice? Proper clothes that look like actual clothes.

[tame cairn]

mostly of the japanese origin

[restive current]

Am I weird that I don't like fantasy games...at all?

[orchid fox]

i see that eastern in general has either a. super skimpyt female character armorsets on ocassion or b. have some kind of artbitrary kids race

but at least in ff u only need 1 character per regional datacentres thats permitted to use every profession and class

and just world/dc travel

if u wanna move to a friend

[tame cairn]

Not really, it’s preference. A lot of Fantasy does have things like that, just not as much depending

[restive current]

Can you change characters in the middle of play?

[tame cairn]

I’m the type of person that can somewhat ignore it and still enjoy the game

For example

The Witcher

[orchid fox]

i think ur, VASTLY missunderstanding what im saying

[dry dirge]

There's a lot of japanese games I love but despise the fanservice

[restive current]

I haven't played it, but doesn't it have a much more subdued version of such outfits?

Or did I mix things up?

[tame cairn]

Yeah, that’s like me with most anime as well lol

[tame cairn]

Well the outfits aren’t that revealing in The Witcher, I’m more talking about the sex scenes

And stuff like that

Fantasy genres just always have to have some kind of sexual thing

At least more adult fantasy things will

[orchid fox]

@restive current
tldr
you can have 8 characters on same world (server) which is divided in datacentres (world clusters), but only 1 is needed for all jobs and profession on a single save on the entirety of regional datacentres (aka eu to eu) BECAUSE

in endwalker thay added datacentre travel (cross server cluster moving) that was an upgrade of worldtravel (in cluster moving).

u cannot swap mid gameplay or duty when u are duty bound ala bdo

BUT with whole dc travel system u only ever need 1 character per entire region (na to na eu to eu and jp to jp and oc to oc) so 4 total to play on every single server world if u want to in ff

[restive current]

Ah...that way...yea, that makes sense. Mass Effect has that too...though yea, I understand.

Massive romance plots and such kind of put me off...especially since I can't handle people breaking up or such...and when you come across such moments in games, it's just heart-breaking.

[orchid fox]

and that is 1 character for 2 eu clusters 1 char for 3-4 na clusters 1 char for 3 jp clusters 1 char for 2 oc clusters

so u only need 4 total if ur ping doesnt kill u

[restive current]

Ah...so you can make do with just 4 characters.

[orchid fox]

yep

[restive current]

Makes more sense now.

[orchid fox]

theres not really a reason to get more than 1 per entire region

[tame cairn]

That’s totally understandable, especially when it’s done well enough to end in that

[orchid fox]

outside maybe if u want more than 1 raid ready char, rp, or uknow dont wanna rebuy char changes left and right cuz 8 slots and 8 races ( sweats in 40 char change blueberry juice count)

@restive current

i have a char change addiction lol

[restive current]

Variety is the spice of life. 😉

Or death...in the case of Doom.

[restive current]

Also, personally...I'd prefer a more traditional combat system rather than the turn-based or arena-based systems.

Witcher has a traditional version, right?

Like, just take your sword and attack normally rather than turn/party/arena-based systems?

[tame cairn]

Yes, it does

Not turn based or anything

[orchid fox]

but ye the female = skimpy out is pretty much universally gaming wise just cuz the argument examplke u made but hur dur its become a "norm" @restive current

[restive current]

Fair. Wanted to play it for a while but haven't had the chance.

[orchid fox]

which

yeeee

[restive current]

I know...the whole 'sex sells' BS.

(And people actually like it)

[orchid fox]

im pretty sure most females isnt ok with it but i cant really comment

[tame cairn]

It’s a fun game, has so much to do. 😅

[orchid fox]

cuz not female

[tame cairn]

Side things

[dry dirge]

There are plenty of jrpgs without it, though

[orchid fox]

but on contrary theres as many with it

[dry dirge]

yeah

[orchid fox]

dou last note about ff for a bit @restive current my fave race ive stuck with for like... 2 years is the dark lizzers on the right

xaela tribe

[dry dirge]

That's the race I picked too!

[restive current]

I know...but skimpy outfits for females are geared towards me, after all.

[restive current]

True. One of these days...at least W1 was free on GOG, might just download it once I'm done with Deus Ex series.

[daring spear]

Female perspective: mostly desensitized to it but many eye rolls and slight grumbling if there's no other options besides the "male gaze inspired" stuff

[orchid fox]

still dunno what to feel about square basically selling deus ex to embracer lol

[restive current]

All are females, right? Or are the lizard ones male?

[orchid fox]

uh both male and female the dude to right is male with big horns

[restive current]

I mean...it's not like Square Enix is doing any good...or would do a lot of justice anymore.

[tame cairn]

I would love to play W1

[orchid fox]

the examples of the ones with backwards horns is female the ones with big horns male

1 out of 4 horn types each

[tame cairn]

Heard it doesn’t hold up that well, but I don’t have a pc either way so..

[restive current]

Huh, interesting...interesting attire too.

[orchid fox]

my char is ebatiful imo

dou like most prem items

lol

[restive current]

I mean, when it comes to graphics, people will hate anything.

But otherwise, who cares? As long as it's a good game...it's good.

[tame cairn]

Well, they were also talking about gameplay

[restive current]

Looks nice, honestly. 🙂

[orchid fox]

like i admit its a bit of "unphased" at this point but im not gonna pretent i can "stop it" if u get my drift

[daring spear]

I tried playing W1 and the combat is so painful... Plus it kinda decided to not work past a fairly early on point. I don't remember where but I dropped it pretty fast

[tame cairn]

I don’t really care either though, kotor is great

[dry dirge]

As someone who enjoys crpg combat, W1 combat is hell

[restive current]

Ah...yea, the older games can be quite clunky. But hey...some of their charm comes from that!

Though I agree...it's pretty annoying.

Or rather, can be.

[tame cairn]

Thankfully, there is a W1 remake coming

[restive current]

Speaking of re-makes...I'd love to try the Dead Space one.

But...the weight of that thing...

[tame cairn]

It looks very nice

[restive current]

True, but me = poor man's office PC... 😆

That game would crush my poor PC to bits and pieces...

Callisto Protocol too.

[tame cairn]

Yeah lol.

[restive current]

Some day, though...both are fun games.

Went through Dead Space original twice...can't get enough.

[orchid fox]

wellp back to the cluster mess thats drg haz5 attempts

[restive current]

Yea, all you can do is make do with what is.

[tame cairn]

I did the same recently as well, but played 1, 2, and 3

Kinda stopped during 3 though, just not the same

[restive current]

Yea, I heard lot of people got disappointed with 3.

I've only played 1 and seen 2, so can't say, but I know the feeling.

[tame cairn]

2 honestly might be my favorite one

1 was great but I felt like 2 made it better

[restive current]

Can't disagree. At least from the play along I saw.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxQIXNsEBnMnq7y_QfE-BfsMrGkle6yBb

This is why I haven't got to DS2 and 3...

'Cause I never did this...just first chapter... 😆

[orchid fox]

is it a bad sign ive played a game for so long i hear the idle hq sound in my head when sound is off?

[tame cairn]

I have some great videos of me being stupid and terrified during 1.

[restive current]

Can relate... 😆

[tame cairn]

my friend plays a bleach mobile game, it is perpetually playing in my head

like 3 or 4 different songs

[orchid fox]

with dlss on 60fps i SEEM to be able to handle 4k despite my 3070

minus like

returnal etc

[restive current]

Show, show...

[restive current]

Honestly...NV plans for RTX to be a 40+ series exclusive thing (mostly due to performance).

OTOH, when NV's cards go from being literal bricks to turning into ACs...IDK how they'll even work.

[orchid fox]

i mean i speak without ray tracing

[restive current]

Oh...phuck, I mis-read.

[orchid fox]

i use nvidia dsr

[restive current]

My bad.

Right, 4K with DLSS.

But, uh...shouldn't 4K be relatively easy for a 3070?

[orchid fox]

i speak of a 1440 monitor user

this is reason @restive current

[restive current]

Hmm...going from 1440 to 4K rendering...

[orchid fox]

nvidia ai thing

[restive current]

Is it one of those things that the game developer has to integrate into the game?

[orchid fox]

kinda yes kinda now

it forces ur screen and most games that has resolution slider to have a cap of 2.25

aka 4k as 1440p user

so most apps cap is 4k for me now

[restive current]

Ah, alright...so you can render it at a maximum of 4K, and GPU then down-scales it to 1440.

[orchid fox]

yes

correct

ai scaling

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/technologies/dsr/technology/ if u wanna read on it

[tame cairn]

stupid and terrified

[tardy burrow]

What's the use of this

[restive current]

Yea, technically resolution scaling, but instead of up-scaling, you down-scale.

[orchid fox]

higher resolution images/quality

[restive current]

Better visual fidelity for people with smaller monitors and large GPUs.

Or better performance for those who use it normally, like me (big monitors and small GPUs).

[tardy burrow]

Confusion, but agreement

[restive current]

For me, I can render a 1080p game at 540p, which means I get extra performance while game is up-scaled to my resolution, while for Crow, he can render the game at 4K and then the GPU down-scales it to 1440p.

[restive current]

You splattered yourself! 😆

Deliberately too...

[tardy burrow]

Hmmm, yes the floor is made out floor

[restive current]

Yea, but floor can have variable tiles while you can see differently.

A floor with 10 large tiles showing as 20 tiles = normal resolution scaling.

[tardy burrow]

Floor is floor

[restive current]

A floor with 20 tiles showing as 10 = DSR.

[tame cairn]

Genuinely had no idea what it did 🥲

[tardy burrow]

Like road is road

[restive current]

Yea, but resolution can be the difference between seeing a pot-hole...and falling in it. 😉

[orchid fox]

ye accurate summary

[restive current]

Don't worry, I ended up there as well, but because of movement.

Trying to avoid those creepy necromorphs and I ended up walking right onto the gravity panels.

Splat.

Also, there's an even worse scene during that time the other military ship crashes into the Ishimura...

That mutilated soldier stuck on a gravity plate but alive.

[restive current]

Honestly, I just want to get a free GPU where I can render 80 tiles, show 240 and still run at 60 FPS!

OTOH, shelling out $1000+ for a dGPU = stupidity, so...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[orchid fox]

and a stray driller initiating boss at haz4 when none was ready got us killed

[restive current]

Doing co-operative DRG?

[orchid fox]

Im mostly doin pub squads

[dry dirge]

it's always co-op

BOSCO

[restive current]

Ah...fair.

[charred badge]

Definitely feels like I fixed the crashes 😄

Been ages since I played Contact

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjSyZno2Tdk

[weak tiger]

Anyone played Divinity 2 Original Sin?

[austere lance]

I played the first one

[dry copper]

Yes. It is a masterpiece. I am not a fan, but I can recognize exceptional design

I played with fam. Don't play with friends unless you have one person who controls the narrative and you follow their story....otherwise it's information overload

We had to have a meeting afterwards just to get all the facts we gathered straight

[dry dirge]

I played a lil, the strategy is damn hard

[weak tiger]

I picked it up this weekend, looking forward to giving it a go :). Seems well put together so far. I’m probably gonna be playing solo since my friend has been pretty busy

[dry copper]

Brother played it afterwards alone and said it was great

[dry dirge]

I loved the writing

also the characters are great

[orchid fox]

this is so minor but brought sucha smile to my face not even an hour in

IN GAME CALCULUS! 😄

[tame cairn]

@tardy burrow

lets move here

[tardy burrow]

Kk

@tame cairn apparently I'm level 11

[tame cairn]

nice

[tardy burrow]

Is there any good leveling spot?

[tame cairn]

just explore more, theres a good amount to do in limgrave

[tardy burrow]

Kk

[tame cairn]

do you understand how to level your weapon

and how your bleeding effect works on katanas

[tame cairn]

im assuming you went to that church behind the tree sentinel

[fluid hare]

What game?

[orchid fox]

dave the diver

[fluid hare]

Cool.

[tardy burrow]

Yes

[tardy burrow]

No

@tame cairn defeated a beastman, that good?

[tame cairn]

Yes

[tame cairn]

The more you hit an enemy, a bar (invisible) goes up, filling the bleed effect bar will cause an enemy to bleed

you know they bled because youll see like an explosion of blood kinda

The same can be done onto you

[tardy burrow]

I didn't see that when attacking the boss

[tame cairn]

You have to do it pretty quick at least at first, without your sword being super upgraded

the invisible bar also goes down

it doesnt just stay in the same spot

[tardy burrow]

I get it, so just spam the fuck outta them

Also getting runes is hard

[tame cairn]

Pretty much yeah, you’ll see a mini blood explosion and a chunk of their health will deplete

[tame cairn]

Yeah, just kill any enemies you see to be honest, even the small ones

[tardy burrow]

I only get like 600 at most before dying

[tame cairn]

You can also go back and pick them up, if you didn’t know

Unless you die again while they’re already on the ground

then they are gone

[tardy burrow]

I do that but still it's pretty hard to get a decent amount of them

[tame cairn]

Try the boss again

[tardy burrow]

I can do that?

[tame cairn]

yeah

[orchid fox]

Game?

[tame cairn]

if you didnt kill it

Elden Ring

[orchid fox]

Lol

Ngl that made me laugh

Just watched clip

[tardy burrow]

I killed the beastman

[tame cairn]

my bad, i meant margit

[tardy burrow]

Would i win?

[tame cairn]

Mmmm

[tardy burrow]

I mean he regularly two shots me

[tame cairn]

A lot of this game is learning attack patterns and stuff, lots of dodging and/or parrying

margit is strong yeah

If you attempt and it’s too hard just do more things besides that

[tardy burrow]

I hate his daggers

[tame cairn]

he’s pretty annoying

[tardy burrow]

Yes

How many runes does he drop?

[orchid fox]

Forgot i had the reply lol

@tame cairn ds remake question, opinion on chase sequence to elevator early in game?

I saw a lot of vids get caught offguard by it

[tame cairn]

I’ve never actually played Dark Souls, so I have no idea

[orchid fox]

I speak dead space

Not souls

[tame cairn]

oh

Lol

oh, i see now

I’ve never played the remake either so I can’t say

[dry copper]

Any time I think Mutahar can't lose his mind any more, he freaks tf out more

[orchid fox]

https://youtu.be/twwo72wX-aw ty yt for recommending me such gold drg clips

Tldr crassus detonator = suicide boss that turns everything explosion touches to gold chunk

It just happens that summoned deposits, player spawns, objective and entry/exit spawns kills ANYTHING including bosses if it lands on it

So hey that squad got free fucktons of gold

[dry copper]

Cool

[orchid fox]

The canadian vid i take it

Last few months he has gone apeshit on more than one occassion

[crystal gyro]

clearing out a crassus detonator blast zone is such a chore without bosco lol

[orchid fox]

Um plasma pistol wants to know ur location

Or just dig out ground its attacted to

[crystal gyro]

tbf, i havent played the last two seasons, so i dont know what that is lol

[orchid fox]

Driller go brer

[crystal gyro]

oh, i dont drill main, prob my worst class

[orchid fox]

The driller pistol can escavate ground and ore node from walls and make it fall on ground

A 1.0 thing

[crystal gyro]

hmm, i must not have played enough driller to really use it then

[orchid fox]

Usually do that in solo as driller

[crystal gyro]

not kidding when i say its my worst class

i dont think ive even promoted once with driller

[orchid fox]

Ye its a sorta late in first promo to unlock

Ish

[dry copper]

It's weird watching his videos. He seems to be on a gradual decline and I wonder if he's having mental health issues or this is an act

[crystal gyro]

yeah, im all scout/engi and sometimes gunner

[orchid fox]

Fatboy proxy nuke my beloved

With inhertia inhibitor removal

Nuke goes yeet and boom

Geneva convention AND the ethics board cant reach us in space

[crystal gyro]

those leaf lovers are still complaining about the barrels coming outof the launch tube
not my fault my feet have an unnatural attraction to barrels

[balmy plaza]

I think he's had issues that could definitely lead to bad mental health. Iirc he has chronic insomnia and sleep paralysis like every night

[orchid fox]

https://tenor.com/view/tim-curry-space-capitalism-laughing-hysterically-smirk-gif-21230907

[balmy plaza]

But I heard that quite a while ago now

[orchid fox]

I still find it funny this gif is from command and conquer

out of all things

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/rockyhorror-how-bout-dat-smug-gif-7675888

[crystal gyro]

this sounds a lot like narcolepsy and no, not the hollywood kind

[balmy plaza]

Honestly, looking at his Canada video he's just being assertive

He was basically like that the last time I watched him too

He's also looking a lot healthier than he was when I last saw him, by quite a way

[dry copper]

Canadians don't even care about not getting Canadian news half the time. Its bullshit American news on a Canadian network

I don't give a shit what's happening in Florida, but I learn about it all the time on Canadian news

Florida, California, New York

It's not like there isn't news to be told.

A lot of shit happens that isn't being told

A LOT

[balmy plaza]

I take it that isn't about Mutahar

[dry copper]

I hate the evolution of news media today that only focuses on bleeding stories.

[orchid fox]

Then theres me that outright refuse to watch/read news cuz deathreports, catastrophe here, local bombing there, 3 war news related here there amd there etc

Never good news… news is depressing to me

[dry copper]

Mutahar was talking about the news media on google cutting off Canadian links because Canadian laws were created to force google to pay news broadcasters in Canada for using their links

[crystal gyro]

this is why i generally stopped watching the regular news rotation etc.
If im interested enough in the issue, i'll find the AP story on it to avoid the sensationalism

[orchid fox]

I mean they should but then again its their engine and software

[dry copper]

Mutahar is right about the issue and the Canadian government is going about this problem of news media dying the wrong way

[orchid fox]

Sooooo

[balmy plaza]

Same. After 2020 I stopped looking. With all the daily reports it was basically a worse version of the health anxiety I had before that

[dry copper]

The issue of news media falling short in Canada has been ongoing for decades

[balmy plaza]

Dr Google is definitely not qualified

[dry copper]

The issue can not be addressed through money. The reason the news is dying isn't a money problem. It's a people problem. Can't solve people problems by throwing money at them.

That just muddies the issue and creates a new people problem full of corruption

I'm no expert but the fact that a news network that literally airs three 1hr segments on rerun 24 hours a day can float above this problem is very telling

AKA CityTV

There's a morning segment of 1hr, reruns until noon. A noon segment 1hr, reruns until evening and a 1hr evening segment

The only thing that rolls throughout the day is meteorology

Sorry and traffic

It's so bad now they only have one meteorologist for the whole damn network

The rest of the weather people are called "weather specialists"

The only person working the show with a 4 year post graduate degree is also the only person they make go stand in the rain and snow

I hate the 24 hour news and thought streaming would've been a solid solution to 24 hour news by replacing it with news on demand.

On the plus side
The Flash flopped hard soft hard at the box office, slurping up $139million globally after costing the company over $395million to make.

[crystal gyro]

legacy industries have a hard time updating for the future.
i can say from experience in my industry that 90% of my frustration is because the industry insists on using the same tools/methods theyve used for 30+ years

not because those tools/methods are better...but because the generation that refuses to retire doesnt like change

like...i have to use Edge for a specific manufacturer's manuals because thats the only thing capable of running in IE mode.
They only did that because IT told them "no seriously, you need to get off of IE11. It's been a security risk for like a decade now"

[dry copper]

I wonder how Michael Keaton feels about being a part of the shit show that is Ezra Miller

Like...Ezra is birdman irl

[dry copper]

Man I hope Phantom Liberty adds more apartments to own

I had mods to add more apartments and they were fantastic

It's clear there was room for tons more

I'm getting a little excited the more I hear about the update

It's trickle news but it's nice

This christmas is going to be sweet

[silver sparrow]

are you trying to be a slumlord wth

[dry copper]

I wasn't able to rent them out...Just own them.

I had an apartment in a really tall building.

It was nice watching the sun rise and sun set.

That was unfortunately where I first noticed the horrible bugs about far away rendering

3D assets being swapped for 2D sprites

[thorn dawn]

aparentments need a purpose first

[dry copper]

Only apartment that seemed to have a purpose was the one you could have a cat in

and that purpose.....Cat

For what that matters shrug

[austere lance]

Couldn't you have a lizard too? Or just a cat

[dry dirge]

The fact you can't bring your cat to your new apartment seems like the world's most massive oversight

[dry copper]

No idea. I never actually got the cat. I got the bowl.

[thorn dawn]

the lizard is missable

[austere lance]

I will acquire the lizard whenever I finally play the game, lol

[thorn dawn]

I missed it then ended up glitch jumping back up the building to go get it back

took me 2 hours 😠

[balmy plaza]

I had to stop playing after a certain side quest to do with Judy got a little too heavy for me ngl. I want to go back and carry on though, was enjoying it.

[dry copper]

Is Cyberpunk not on xbox?

[balmy plaza]

It is

[austere lance]

It's on everything

[dry copper]

xpass?

[thorn dawn]

the main quest is pretty damn dark in places

no happy resolution either

[austere lance]

I just refused to play it til it came out of beta, and it looks like Phantom Liberty is finally making that happen 😌

[dry copper]

No joke. The main quest...some parts of it are just unnecessarily cruel

and no way to avoid the worst possible endings

[balmy plaza]

Yeah it really doesn't hold back. This was that side quest you get after the rescue mission relatively early on

[austere lance]

Now there's gonna be new endings

[dry copper]

I think it's supposed to be some sort of lesson about not being able to control how others feel

[balmy plaza]

My one complaint is that Johnny really takes me out of it lol

[dry copper]

It felt to me cheap

Like they were just turning the knife for shock

[balmy plaza]

There'll be a sombre moment and Keanu Reeves materialises in your peripheral vision lol

[thorn dawn]

that's kind of the point though, night city is not a good place, and is not filled with good people. honestly judy is just the tip of the iceberg once you get further in.

[balmy plaza]

I forgot her name

It was the one Judy knew

[thorn dawn]

Cunningham?

[balmy plaza]

I've not found that too affecting so far. It was the bluntness of the Evelyn bit

[thorn dawn]

Johnny does grow on you too, turns out he's as much as a victim as you are

[dry copper]

Evelyn

Yeah

[thorn dawn]

Even turns out to be somewhat of a hero if you make the right choices

[dry copper]

the story of that bar susie q's is dark too

[balmy plaza]

I think the Johnny plotline didn't affect me so much because it's quite overblown

[austere lance]

Duh

[dry copper]

I wouldn't be surprised to find a Death Battle game in the works to license all of these character scenarios and potential characters moving forward in DLCs

[tame cairn]

true it is kinda obvious

[austere lance]

Homelander got hurt by a piece of metal in his ear, Omni Man took a direct hit from a friggin satellite laser and barely got a bloody nose 😆

[tame cairn]

i need season 2 of invincible and season 4 of the boys

[austere lance]

It took a genetically enhanced Eldritch monster to actually put some hurt on Omni Man, a random dude with powers he got from a drug was beating Homelander's ass 🤣

I'm sure the quality will be as high as the SA remakster

[austere lance]

former IGN editor and ex-Kinda Funny co-host Colin Moriarty revealed on an episode of his Sacred Symbols podcast (which is currently only available on Last Stand Media's Patreon) that he has seen proof that this remaster/remake exists

[tame cairn]

I watched a vid talking about this a bit,

[austere lance]

@thorn dawn Grove Street Games isn't working on Rockstar stuff anymore, they're doing support for a different game iirc

[dry copper]

Anyone know a good source to get a concise explanation on the chemistry of the serotonin cycle?

Less concerned with the brain function as much as I am the physiological functions down the road

[weak tiger]

Like with the neurotransmitters, neurons and signals, everything? I’m not sure of any concise sources, only know a little to begin with in the context of SSRIs. I’m also curious if anyone else knows of one

I know generally how neuron signals work and some vague understanding of how that relates to neurotransmitters, but no concrete understanding by any means lol

[dry copper]

Watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_QQnqBz4II

[dry copper]

I think youtube missed the mark sending me a bra advertisement.

"IF YOU HAVE NOT TRIED THIS BRA, YOU NEED TO!"

Maybe they think I'm not a dude because i look up educational videos on youtube.

Anyway, if you haven't....You have to try the Pepper Bras for AA-B. Some lady on the internet told me.

Oh I figured it out. I don't have personalized ads on. It's just as well...

Not much, they tend to cap out at around the same time as each other

Depends on the game though

One thing I like about AMD over Radeon is the state they are in when they shit the bed. One is easier to recover than the other.

Radeon runs hotter

Worries me

The quality of your screenshots gave me the impression you had a better GPU than a 1070.

Insane. You'd think they were really going to die with the screams

[idle saffron]

I’ve played, it was fun and had some nice moments, but I didn’t find it scary

Creepy and spooky sometimes

[wintry vector]

I think it depends on whether you hype yourself up to be scared lol. I can watch a scary movie and sit there with a straight face, I can play a spooky game and maybe flinch a little when the loud noises sound just because it hurt my ears, but if I hype myself up to be scared because it can be a fun experience to freak out over a movie with friends, then I'll be shrieking and throwing popcorn with the best of em

Also, ambiance counts a lot. Watching or playing in the middle of the day won't be nearly the same experience as 3am lol

https://tenor.com/view/dog-godzilla-gif-10176711

[balmy plaza]

I've found that for me, the better horror movies are more uncomfortable than they are filled with jumpscares etc

Midsommar being the biggest example, if that counts as a horror ig

[wintry vector]

Yeah, jumpscare after jumpscare is dumb but they're greatly enhanced by extremely tense feeling and a few false starts that are emphasized by great music

Even still, sitting there saying "i won't be scared, this is fake, no point in jumping at an unrealistic movie about evil nuns" or something versus saying "aw man I hope I'm not eaten by evil nuns, this movie is gonna be so scary"

It puts you in a different mindset

And it's more fun to watch with some friends and all be frightened at the same time because it just hypes up the fear when everyone is afraid 😂

(It's also fun to laugh at your friends when they shriek lol, especially if you "accidentally" poke them during a jumpscare or tense scene, or even during a false start)

[balmy plaza]

Oh yeah that's my main reason for watching horror movies now 😂

Also that new amnesia game is awesome with how it ramps up tension

It's scary af

I wish FO76 modified their powerarmor to not use any energy to move around. Its utility should be tied to its combat performance and defensive capabilities with its carry capacity and movement being a separate utility

[orchid fox]

what tf is this spiff vid lol

[dry copper]

A really dumb and slow process to buy games, sell the trading cards they come with and refund the games.

That, if steam finds out you did can lead to your account getting banned for violating their terms of service.

Ya know...being honest with the software.

That whole don't cheat thing.

It's why he deliberately buys shit that won't stir up the sharks

I mean...He used $800 worth of games trading cards to buy "The Bible"

Correction, he used over $2000

He had friends give him their trading cards, too

So you just have to spend $800 and convince two or three others to do the same and give you their trading cards for free

Then everyone get refunds under the auspice you don't like the product and not that you never had any intention of keeping it

[orchid fox]

no wonder he called 5 mates cuz otherwise he would be banned

wonder if he will get slapped for it

[dry copper]

I mean...He talks a big talk, but he's just fuckin around.

Doesn't matter if it's amount or time though, the fucking around will pile on and cause a severe finding out

[coarse swift]

Destiny players on their way to name themselves some form of Frodo Baggins for some reason

See that a lot

[weak tiger]

My favorite are the kell ones. There was one like Takses, Kell of the IRS

[upbeat bolt]

@weak tiger i thought you meant the guy that loves orange soda

[coarse swift]

Sometimes I think back to some of the worst names I've seen

SaucyNippyTits takes the cake

Wonder if they got to keep that name

[fluid hare]

Skesis, Kell of the Labyrinth.

[dry copper]

I hope Philip Defranco is okay. Haven't really seen much of him this week.

[balmy plaza]

There's some horrific D2 names lol

Idk how some aren't filtered out

destiny players when they have to fish for their exotics

Probably why the shore got vaulted, as a quarantine measure

[dry copper]

It's Tuesday and we didn't get a Phily D...How can I get Phil'd in if he doesn't do an episode!? He was not feeling too shit hot yesterdays broadcast. I imagine he's probably worse off now

Is Diablo 4 a subscription game or free after you buy it to play online with others?

[dry dirge]

It doesn't need a subscription on pc

You might need xbox live/whatever for console

[dry copper]

Is the writers strike still on?

christ...there's a trashy piece of shit AI bot on Twitch spreading slander in the voices of a never ending debate between a fictional biden and fictional trump. I hate this timeline so much lol.

Gonna look up some Dave the diver videos

[dry copper]

Have you played this?

[coarse swift]

Thought about it but no

May end up not playing it tbh, I dont do well with city builders

[dry copper]

Dave the diver looks so weirdly involved

Like there's so much of random to do

At the same time, CEO Bob Iger told investors last week that the company expects to raise the price on the ad-free Disney+ tier later this year “to better reflect the value of our content offerings.”

[dry copper]

I bet they are purging titles that cost a lot in residuals

One of the big complaints from writers in the strike is the loss of residuals due to streaming

They were getting paid every time something they wrote got aired on network tv. Not the case with streaming. Get one check once regardless of how many airings.

[thorn dawn]

Bob Iger literally says they did it as a tax write off

[dry copper]

Call me crazy. Don't trust Disney to show their cards during a writers strike.

Didn't know Disney controlled Hulu too

It just seems smart to me, that a company as big as them would restructure their streaming service, anticipating some form of residuals spending expanding into the streaming service. Increasing the costs and trimming the fat is just the start.

They'll probably add a tier system to it before long

[restive current]

Nice paint-job! Not a fan of Ferraris, but that looks truly nice!

[primal loom]

Aw thank you

[restive current]

Only good off-road, or also for track?

[primal loom]

Good for track too - it struggles keeping up on long straights but has excellent turning and acceleration

I need to tweak my track tune for it some more

But on the dirt, it sings

I'm really happy with how the paint turned out

I enjoy customizing as much as the zooming lol

[restive current]

Damn...you should probably make a tune for the straights. Long gears, high torque.

[restive current]

Some day...make a race and post it. Would love to see it.

[restive current]

I can totally see that...vinyl customization seems to be a big thing in this and NFS.

[idle saffron]

No Alyx, why they calling it complete

[primal loom]

Can't be complete without 3 either

[idle saffron]

Never complete then

[primal loom]

So many beautiful locations

[idle saffron]

Yep, game is gorgeous

[primal loom]

Ooooh look at that thing

[idle saffron]

They just did a photomode update a couple months back too, you came in at a good time

[primal loom]

Oh was there not a photo mode before?

[idle saffron]

There was, they added a lot more options

[primal loom]

Ahh

[idle saffron]

Time of day, weather, selfies etc

[primal loom]

That's awesome

Hold up

selfies?
