Don't you love it when stars are like...I'm a star

[orchid fox]

i mean currently ye idk if its for future plans or cut

never was confirmed

there is 2 slots unused even in 1.0

also cut content doesnt mean incomplete in my eyes

[finite hazel]

hehe yeah

😎

[orchid fox]

may just have done layout before finishing the story is my and friends' guesses

[dry copper]

Just irks me they can make the argument they exceeded their goals. In order to believe that, I have to believe they intended to launch the game incomplete for whatever reason. They can certainly say they designed it to tease future content, but that is a little convenient and sets the stage for a very very tenuous relationship between content cutters and preppers in the design and development of what is essentially day one DLC

Whether they intended to release the content later or with the game, the design includes structures that do not support a project that is complete.

It really just depends on what one considers complete.

The absence of elements to finish the game implies incomplete. The argument it might be for future content implies incomplete.

but then I'm not sure how much it matters for this title.

It's a relationship they're going to have to have with their fans.

If a AAA studio had done that, you know damn well it would make the news and spear the company

(because there are some that have done it and it coined the term day one DLC)

[glass plinth]

I just realized how little time there is tell Starfields is released.

Man that snuck up on me

[dry copper]

still 2 months

[glass plinth]

Yup, not long at all

[mental rose]

Any of you heard of Ixion?

A pretty interesting city-builder game about humanity's final attempt to save themselves from extinction when Earth dies from ecological disaster

Ixion travelling through an electrical storm

[snow zenith]

Played a bunch

It's Frostpunk in space

Pretty good

[red totem]

Idk why but Hitman 3 Freelancer is pretty good

[mental rose]

The game made me think just what would actually happen to Earth in real life if the Moon got shattered like what happens in the game

Ah.

The eldritch card game.

[mental rose]

The card game/escape room game

[thorn dawn]

One of the most notable PS5 deals on the PlayStation Store right now is for action-RPG Warhammer: Chaosbane Slayer Edition, which normally costs $60 but is on sale for $5.99.

^may be of relevance to some peoples interests

[austere lance]

I just want Space Marine 2 to release and not suck

[orchid fox]

didnt realize the devs thought of this lol

[mental rose]

That's not the XCOM-like is it? I seem to recall that one was called Daemon hunters

aka. the Chaos Gate successor

[austere lance]

Things I need:
-Space Marine 2 to be good and make a bunch of money
-The devs of Space Marine 2 to use said money to make Horus Heresy games in the style of Space Marine 2

[snow zenith]

Total War HH game

[orchid fox]

ok just made a monster lol @snow zenith

makes cards, regens all cards including rabbits higher number

[mental rose]

There is also the 40k Boltgun game, which apparently takes place after Space Marine 1
At least according to the taunts in the game

"I'll finish what Captain Titus started!"

[austere lance]

Boltgun is PEAK HUMOR, there's a button for yelling shit at the enemy 🤣

I've been playing minecraft. I'm just as incompetent now as I was before, but I helped people...so there's that.

I do like MP helping people. I don't like the SP experience though.

[dreamy zinc]

how i played it when i was young too

i always made my 'tower" and near it a village that new starters could use

[thorn dawn]

No idea, I just know there are a lot of 40k weebs here

[orchid fox]

i think i won act 1 @snow zenith

got some of my bullshit cards lol

im softlocked...

[frigid yarrow]

after 6 goddamn attempts

[austere lance]

It's a disease that corrupts most nerds eventually, I've recently fallen 😆

[orchid fox]

that is achieving what exactly?

[frigid yarrow]

a halo modded level

[solid lynx]

And I thought regular sword elites were bad enough

A shield is just overkill

[frigid yarrow]

oh man, they become not even bullet sponges, but 'nades sponges aswell

[solid lynx]

Have you ever played Cursed Halo?

[frigid yarrow]

https://youtu.be/AwBjmtzmiRQ

just did today

[solid lynx]

lmao

I haven’t played the newest version yet

It’s an experience to say the least

[frigid yarrow]

it literally is worth the time

[solid lynx]

Yeah, I should play it. Ought to be easier to download than the older versions too given it’s on the Steam Workshop

D20 grenades never get old

[frigid yarrow]

they added a pee plasma pistol

[solid lynx]

How nice

Pretty sure they removed the d20 effect that spawned an odd image of Thanos

[frigid yarrow]

oh god

[solid lynx]

We say “they” but the impressive thing is that the mod is made by one guy

[frigid yarrow]

the Hlao

pozole

[frigid yarrow]

he is a god at this point so they

[solid lynx]

Fair enough

He’s the God of Halo Modding

[frigid yarrow]

recommend lumoria

[frigid yarrow]

its the level mod from this cut

[dry copper]

learning how to make all of the many and varied blocks in minecraft is painfully slow

Like...I don't evne know what I don't know there are so many varied blocks

I experimented for 20 mins and got nowhere

[fluid hare]

There’s a recipe book.

[dry copper]

For learning all of the block shapes and combinations?

[fluid hare]

Yes!

[dry copper]

I have a book in my inventory but it's blank until I discover things

then they get added

Might be a server setting

[fluid hare]

I think it is a server setting.

[upbeat bolt]

Have you all ever wanted review of a game but as presidents? https://youtu.be/5W7OTaQgp_o

[long beacon]

Mcc still broken lol, marines sometimes going invisible too

[deft iron]

will he live?

[deft iron]

he didn’t live by the way

kinda played out like the scene in the amazing spider-man with gwen stacy

[dry copper]

Wouldn't matter either way. If he was falling at terminal velocity, the rope would've killed him if it stopped him or he'd get to hit the floor and die anyway

Believe it or not, Gwen had no way of surviving that fall even if spiderman had caught her before she hit the floor.

There was no slack on that webbing. Dude basically snapped her spine before her head was cracked off the ground.

[dry copper]

Did you kill your friend?

[coarse swift]

He hasnt seen it yet

[upbeat bolt]

A minor gltich. It's still way more airtight then modern games. Apart from the glitches you can do to skip parts ect.

[long beacon]

I just gave up and redid save he kept spawning under map lol

[upbeat bolt]

[upbeat bolt]

Ahhhh the sun!

Mcc got some potential, hope it gets some updates, I really wish reach cr would come back and proper ranking

[austere lance]

MCC is solid, never had any glitches like that

[upbeat bolt]

Same

Only a halo 2 glitch for multiplayer

[orchid fox]

@dry copper

[dry copper]

good to know

It's kind of insane how many systems are working together in the fishing game...They should consider making a second game. Who ever is doing the programming has a lot of ideas and is being wasted on a single project...which will both slow down production and half efficiency

wasted talent and skill

Could probably churn out a second game some of those varied systems in it to both earn a profit and get whoever is programming out their ass somewhere to vent that programmie frustration

[dry copper]

Though it's really neither here nor there. Dave the diver is for all intents and purposes finished...

but the lack of direction and topheavy programming shows

[silver sparrow]

😄

[dry copper]

That's insane how insane that is.

[orchid fox]

but seriously i dont care that the game has "many systems" i just care it bein fun lol

[silver sparrow]

[rotund cosmos]

Shoot anyone without a blue name

And go into AI servers for gun attachments. The stock gun recoil and handling are absolutely terrible

[idle venture]

AI servers are better for grinding?

[rotund cosmos]

Yes

Hands down

They were made to replace the "shooting range" so, you also get a feel for the weapons as well

[coarse swift]

oops

thought i could get away with that but no

[frigid yarrow]

...uh oh...

[dry copper]

Tried out that Wynncraft. Decent mechanics. Nice textures. Hate that you can't build.

this effect is directly taken from the area of the impact, love how they thought of adding it even though we are never directly glassed in the game

[orchid fox]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gkt3JmZ47pc&t find this kinda interesting on one hand it makes performance issues

on other majority of pc systems is shit

[dreamy zinc]

Not really shit if they target 1080p

[orchid fox]

also the fact the testing software will only be given "to select outlets" is a red flag GIVEN EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER HAVE TESTED IT PUBLICALLY

Is there a photomode in this game?

[frigid yarrow]

F1

[dry copper]

So much of the pretties

[primal loom]

No, but F1 hides hud, F2 takes a screenshot

You can use creative mode to fly around for different shot angles

[glossy kestrel]

Already watched it

[earnest hatch]

This game is gonna be so insane it's unbelievable

It might be the most ambitious game ever made in my opinion

[edgy viper]

Its bugtesda. hold your horses and keep expectations low. And dont preorder just in case. Wait for reviews.

[thorn dawn]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F0r6GbQacAUng-4?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

That appears to be the comic wolverine suit, not the movie one

[earnest hatch]

I agree that's why I said it's ambitious

Not saying they land it

[weak tiger]

I’m super excited for Starfield. Gonna buy it fo sho

[thorn dawn]

https://www.gamingbible.com/news/starfield-fans-start-60fps-petition-265350-20230710

this take amused me

[weak tiger]

lol

[rotund cosmos]

Gamers often don't understand a lot on how games work

[thorn dawn]

"Just press the fast button smh"

[weak tiger]

a petition a couple months before launch will do it for sure

[thorn dawn]

I understand why it's an issue for Xbox players though, imagine paying $700 for a console and getting the same experience as someone that paid $300. I'd be mad too.

[weak tiger]

Don’t even get me started on pricing

Most $60 games ime honestly feel more like $30-40 experiences at best and they’re inching to $70 and up, which is insane to me

Idk, I’m just tired of high prices and low expectations

[earnest hatch]

Well the 70 inch is to adjust towards inflation but it is a bit ridiculous

[weak tiger]

Inflation feels like a myth at this point lmao most of it’s just exploiting because they can. Not necessarily for the game industry, I don’t know much about it, but generally speaking

[earnest hatch]

Neither do I lmaoooo

[sand marsh]

greedflation

[earnest hatch]

All I know is that the most exciting games for me if they turn out amazing are

1. Starfield (very far ahead in 1st) if it's good ofc

2. Armored Core

3.Spiderman 2

4.Baldurs Gate 3

[weak tiger]

Starfield’s the only one I’m really looking forward to but I’ve heard a lot about Baldur’s Gate 3 and it seems like something I’d enjoy, very pretty graphics too

[sand marsh]

you can have sex with a bear in BG3 lmao

[weak tiger]

Diablo IV at first looked like one I’d love but I need to check out gameplay first

We do have a server rule against NSFW btw so better to avoid bringing that one up I’m pretending I didn’t see the article

[sand marsh]

oh ok

but it was wild lmao

[earnest hatch]

Baldurs gate I hope is good I love DND and it looks amazing

[sand marsh]

no one expected that

[earnest hatch]

I will tell you it doesn't show anything it's safe for work cutscene besides the weird implications

[weak tiger]

Besides that lmao it looks like a gorgeous game and I’m playing Divinity 2 Original Sin for the first time! i think it’s the same developers maybe? or at least the same sort of game

[sand marsh]

same devs yeah

[earnest hatch]

Same devs

[weak tiger]

nice

[earnest hatch]

They make great games

[dry copper]

I mean...It may have some size and ambition, but it's no Skyrim. I mean...They made that game like....seven times

[earnest hatch]

That's true and 7 is a big number

Way more that 1

[dry copper]

Yeah. 7 ate 9.

[earnest hatch]

Yeah it's crazy

[dry copper]

and as much as I'd like to shit on Skyrim...ngl...I bought it at least 3 times on the PC.

3 different versions...BUT, to be fair - it was cheaper buying the whole game than getting the DLC (at the time)

https://tenor.com/view/letterkenny-to-be-fair-serious-lets-be-fair-gif-16087355

[weak tiger]

im not gonna say how many times i bought skyrim

[coarse swift]

Neither am I

I lied, once

Undertale is a different story

[weak tiger]

impossible

[dry copper]

He lied once. What do you think, he is lying?

[coarse swift]

It's not impossible, everyone's lied once

[weak tiger]

Taylor swift has aged

Do we know who these chars are on the cover of starfield?

The female looking to the right I think is Sarah Morgan

Constellation lady

Oh right. Tomorrow is Prime Day.

I've had prime for years. I don't recall ever a prime day

[austere lance]

They have Prime Day every year, lol

[quaint escarp]

had to buy starfield again

collectors edition will not ship before early access

ill just give my extra premium edition to a friend

[silver sparrow]

Hello friend

[quaint escarp]

i have friends in mind already :P

[silver sparrow]

I don’t have a pc anyway

[dry copper]

I wonder how strong enchanted armor is compared to using a shield

[charred badge]

same devs, but they're using a more classic dnd system rather than their funky armor deal

man, the dos2 system is just tailor designed for spike damage and oh-shit moments when enemies gang up on one party member

quick rundown for those confused: Divinity OS2 characters have Magic and Physical Armor on top of HP. They're burned off by relevant damage. As long as they're up, most status effects from the related damage won't stick. Once they're burned off, all status effects of that type land.

It causes a lot of snowballs

[charred badge]

wanna bet the watch batteries will be dead, the strap will be nylon, and it'll somehow leak thorium?

[charred badge]

the deals are good, but I doubt they beat buying from the suppliers via ali etc. instead of the dropshippers

[fluid hare]

Pretty.

[dreamy zinc]

Also i don't understand what the fuss is about Starfield not hamving a physical copy?

[coarse swift]

People like to buy physical copies I guess

[upbeat bolt]

@dreamy zinc Even if physical you still have to download alot of data

[coarse swift]

I hardly ever buy physical copies nowadays. Last time I did was Legends Arceus and Pokemon Diamond remake because Best Buy had a half off sale on them

[weak tiger]

Physical copies feel riskier to own like getting damaged or lost or not having physical storage space. I prefer digital for sure

[coarse swift]

Dont even have a disc drive in my pc

no point in going physical there

[upbeat bolt]

This is the first time paying over $60 for å New game & over $30 for games in sell. First time since Halo Reach paying $100+

[coarse swift]

Yea I uh

Buy the yearly Destiny expansions

I cant say much on that

[upbeat bolt]

I never do. Not for always online games

Good gun play though

[upbeat bolt]

I just wish Digital would be CHEAPER since there's no f'ing thing to ship.

[coarse swift]

Moon had a good analogy for it before. We play Destiny together already, and hardly go out on dates. The cost of the expansion is roughly the price of a good date

Not like we dont want to tbh

Just that people suck and things are too expensive

[upbeat bolt]

I see it like this. Ten years from now skyrim will still be playable will a always online game be?

Especially when multiple have flopped this year alone

[coarse swift]

Warframe is still playable 10 years from release, and I spent over $1000 on it

And its free

[upbeat bolt]

I mean that's warframe good devs & all

[coarse swift]

Destiny is also 10 years in and still playable. I've spent less on Destiny than I have on Warframe

Way less

[weak tiger]

I’ve played so much of Destiny and D2, allll the time. I’ve gotten so much out of it, way more than I paid for it. I hate when people try to make you justify spending money on what makes you happy to them

[upbeat bolt]

Tactical cat

[coarse swift]

Ultimately if you're gonna spend on an always online game, its just about the right investment call.

Sometime's itll bite you (RIP Firefall)
Sometimes it pays off

[upbeat bolt]

I never had a problem with that just staring why I won't 🙂

[weak tiger]

and yeah, a dinner at a restaurant is at least a full price game. thats a good analogy

[weak tiger]

Oh, of course not, wasn’t pointing that at you lol. You’re good

[upbeat bolt]

I'd rather eat out because man this one Italian restaurant was SO DARN GOOD

Still fondly remember it

[coarse swift]

Thats hardly a decent date imo

[weak tiger]

To each their own. So much variety in games, dumb to gatekeep

[coarse swift]

I'd take her to the drive-in and get cozy. They had damn good chicken strips

[cerulean kite]

i bought a bathroom faucet yesterday that cost more than a game

whats screening?

[coarse swift]

The fact that we even have a drive-in nearby is great

[coarse swift]

no idea, havent been in a long time

[cerulean kite]

oppenheimer and borbie this weekend?

[weak tiger]

Not that I go on dates, but I do not like dining out as a principle drive ins are so fun and cozy to me. There’s a super freakin good one I never get the chance to go to

[coarse swift]

Now I've got too much commitment at home so a late night drive-in date isnt ideal

[upbeat bolt]

This place look inconspicuous but oh so good

[cerulean kite]

i saw uhh GotG 3 a couple weeks ago

[coarse swift]

Cant speak for any drive-ins on the east side of the Sound but the Rodeo Drive In over here is good

But again, haven't been there in years.

[upbeat bolt]

Here's the name

I like.. Not the fast food but just going out to get food but I prefer dinners like outback steakhouse ect

[coarse swift]

You're in West Virginia

Fazio's Italian

[dreamy zinc]

I know, that's why i don't understand the fuss

[weak tiger]

If you ever wind up in Tacoma, Frisko Freeze is super freakin good too. I’ll keep an eye out for Rodeo

[upbeat bolt]

@coarse swift We have alot of Italian, English, Irish, Scottish, German ect here

That's the main makeup of the state 🙂

[coarse swift]

I will never wind up in Tacoma on purpose
you cant pay me

[dreamy zinc]

Games are so big now you'd need multiple bluerays to install

[weak tiger]

lmaooo fair

[upbeat bolt]

I have a Italian name only one I could find on my mom's side called Pina.
Mostly a dirty Anglo though lol

[dreamy zinc]

Unless they provide a usb with instalattion files

[coarse swift]

Last thing I did in Tacoma was buy my car there and get the salesmen who tried selling me said car fired

[weak tiger]

Tacoma’s full of hidden gems but it is Tacoma

[coarse swift]

I mean

Point Defiance just had a shit situation recently

[upbeat bolt]

Good place

We're going back with my grandfather soon

[coarse swift]

Drive-by shooting at the Point Defiance park

Just like a day ago

[weak tiger]

Just awful. There’s been so many violent crimes. especially by/on the route I have to take love it here

[upbeat bolt]

Have either of you been to West Virginia?

[cerulean kite]

yeah

i been down possum holler

[coarse swift]

Furthest east I've ever been in my life is Louisiana

[upbeat bolt]

North east panhandle is what if recommend. Unless you like outdoors. Morgantown is a collage town.

Nice. I've only ever been in the east coast. Farthest west was Kentucky & Tennessee

People in Philly my God they're so rude

[coarse swift]

Hawaii for me

[cerulean kite]

suck it GO BIRDS

[upbeat bolt]

I might be to used to WV & the people

[cerulean kite]

also, strangers talking to each other isn’t really a thing here

[coarse swift]

Wanna know what's really interesting tho?

[cerulean kite]

keep to yourself, keep it moving

[upbeat bolt]

That's depressing

[cerulean kite]

Philadelphia is a super cool place you should check out

[upbeat bolt]

I get not overly doing it but I mean...

[cerulean kite]

i think its just kind of a city thing in general

[upbeat bolt]

There's was a really older black lady that was sweeter then honey & a Asian lady who was chill. Some others to but they were from Texas.

[weak tiger]

Nah, never

[upbeat bolt]

She might've picked up on my accent.. It comes out sometimes

[cerulean kite]

we do have quite a few sweet old black ladies

[upbeat bolt]

I felt like her grandson man

Lol

[cerulean kite]

i love philly though, been here around… 12 years now (i think)

[upbeat bolt]

I might go back but I'll avoid the big city.

[cerulean kite]

city is sick though

if interested i could always give suggestions on what to do city wise

[upbeat bolt]

I'll ask you if I go there 🙂

@cerulean kite Hey is it OK to charge my Pixel 4a with a old iPhone charger?

[cerulean kite]

using the right cable yeah

[upbeat bolt]

It's a USB c cable i got from a now busted play & charge kit for xbox

[cerulean kite]

apple bricks are just little voltage step down converters to go from 110-240VAC down to 5V

[upbeat bolt]

I'm fine with that. I don't want to fast charge as that's bad for the battery

[cerulean kite]

fast charge ones i think are the newer ones and use usb-c on the brick

[upbeat bolt]

The brick that came with my phone is a fast charger

Yes

[cerulean kite]

the two diff versions im aware of

[upbeat bolt]

@cerulean kite I have everything on usb c I wish it would replace the usb a port completely

[cerulean kite]

well official apple usb c charger is a lil differe t

yeah like yours

yeah usb c is pretty neat

[upbeat bolt]

I want usb c everything lol

Reversible port it's amazing

[cerulean kite]

usb c will probably take over for a while

[coarse swift]

I think they fixed the hoverpack drift in Satisfactory

What a nice thing

[orchid fox]

Context?

[coarse swift]

That they fixed the hoverpack drift in Satisfactory

There was a drift issue, and they fixed it

[quaint escarp]

so uh i mightve gotten 3 copies of starfield

[orchid fox]

…

[coarse swift]

Nice I'll have one

[orchid fox]

Gift or gifted

[coarse swift]

Thanks in advance

[quaint escarp]

bought ryzen cpu

came with starfield

[coarse swift]

Oh lol, that deal

[quaint escarp]

and i bought another copy yesterday bc my collectors wont come on time for early access

[coarse swift]

It's ok

We've all bought multiple copies of Skyrim

[quaint escarp]

yeah but on sale

[coarse swift]

Now you can play Starfield 3 times

[quaint escarp]

ik you took vacation off to play it didnt you

[coarse swift]

You bet I did

Fought for that vacation time too

My boss had my back

[quaint escarp]

is he a gamer

[coarse swift]

She is probably

[quaint escarp]

or she

[coarse swift]

But she doesn't know that it's for Starfield

[quaint escarp]

i mean can kinda figure it out

[coarse swift]

Initially I was just gonna take the Wednesday thru Friday off that week

[orchid fox]

Exoprimal in 3 days

[coarse swift]

But she's like "why not take Tuesday as well"
We already have Monday off due to Labor Day, wouldn't make sense to come in on one day only

Honestly she is very cool for getting my vacation restored

I got an extra two weeks to get rid of now

[quaint escarp]

are you playing early access or just the official launch?

[coarse swift]

Its the Gamepass one so I think it's early?

Ideally I'd like to have it on Steam tbh

But I already pay for Gamepass

[orchid fox]

Gamepass ye

[quaint escarp]

gmg has it on sale

might not for everyone

[thorn dawn]

I thought you only got time off if you died tbh. And even then they like you to book your death 2 weeks in advance.

[coarse swift]

I don't work in retail or food service

[orchid fox]

only 44gb

[thorn dawn]

er

why have you used your slowest ssd as your boot drive

[orchid fox]

it was prebuilt

i aint redoin

the slowest is the one it came with

[thorn dawn]

why did you buy your computer from this guy

[orchid fox]

i dont really care its fast enough lol

[thorn dawn]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fgJNxql3Cy0

Full RGB setup

worried about blinking HDD light

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/jCMCZ3gALc4

[orchid fox]

Ngl after the massive backlash to oddysey idk if im even interested

[austere lance]

Odyssey?

[orchid fox]

The expansion dlc

Massively negative reviewed on steam

[earnest hatch]

Honestly it was a really REALLY bad dlc on launch

It was buggy with like 15fps max

[snow zenith]

This has zero to do with Elite Dangerous

[orchid fox]

Ngl, i forget those are 2 separate ges

I always think they are the same

Not even kidding

[upbeat bolt]

Microsoft won. The deal will go through.

[orchid fox]

Link/context?

I know its the actiblizz thing but link

[upbeat bolt]

Google it its literally plastered everywhere

[thorn dawn]

Microsoft isn't gonna make you CEO if you post about it enough

[upbeat bolt]

Ey but there's hope

Everspace 2 is excellent

Great singleplayer experience

[silver sparrow]

Pikmin 4 will be out soon

Take that star field

[idle saffron]

Pikmin 4 takes place on a Starfield planet

[coarse swift]

Pikmin is just a Starfield clone

My friend is so hyped for this game

[silver sparrow]

I pre ordered when I bought Zelda

[finite hazel]

Journey is such a beautiful game

The music is a delight

Poor guy got launched during a battle

[austere lance]

Just played the demo for this, it's beautiful 💕

[vernal lantern]

I just fell in love with Outer Wilds again, and did I manage to get like 185 hours in a game that’s not supposed to take over like 25 hours? (including dlc) Yes, yes I did

[ripe glade]

The tron legacy soundtrack is just way to good

[dreamy zinc]

Tron uprising too

[dull tulip]

Love this game, such a great experience

No clue who you were random other player, but I bonded with you that day!

We even drew in the sand at that end when saying goodbye

[finite hazel]

wait wait wait! was that another player?!?! 🤯

i thought it was a npc!

[upbeat bolt]

https://youtu.be/HwJZHkAylQ8

[dull tulip]

Yes, it was a real person

Journey is a co-op game

It can be played solo, but the best experience is when you find a partner

[dull tulip]

I might be extremely incorrect, since it's been years since I played, but it might show their username during the credits

[idle saffron]

Companions Met Along the Way

Will have their symbol too

[finite hazel]

wow i had no idea!

so cool!!!

whattt

that's so cool

[dull tulip]

So cool

[orchid fox]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKICQAqBhI0 but ye its 1 day (less than) 20h left @grand mica the whole toggle u can force pve (but) if u choose random u get 20% exp boost

[dull tulip]

I watched some gameplay and felt bad for the dinosaurs

[orchid fox]

my brother is getting turned to oil

[dull tulip]

Game just portals in hoards of raptors that start instantly getting demolished n thrown around

They don't even have a chance to blink

[upbeat bolt]

If anyone is having sleeping issues I recommend this https://youtu.be/teIbh8hFQos

[edgy viper]

Just give me good dino crisis game

[idle saffron]

There is one

It's called Dino Crisis

[edgy viper]

Dino crisis 2 was also good

[upbeat bolt]

One of my favorite Halo 3 cutscenes https://youtu.be/FrEVLTT16Ek

[grand mica]

After a few vids it feels a lot like warframe for some reason.

[orchid fox]

i mean i wont deny lol

[grand mica]

No, but I was.

[glossy kestrel]

guys watch this... this is absolutely amazing https://youtu.be/7tQjk_ZRQNA

Just listen to how Henry is passionate about it... fking Netflix man, they should have fired all writters to keep Henry!

[finite hazel]

pretty cool Z 🙂

[orchid fox]

[finite hazel]

didn't watch all the way, trying to keep what i know about the game at a minimum, but sounds really cool

hi cr0w :)) 👋 how are you?

[primal loom]

I was wondering when you'd figure it out 😁

[orchid fox]

Im good vibing

Tired

[finite hazel]

🤯

crazy

they were just there

so they were trying to guide me!

they showed me how to get to a spot that had an upgrade for me

😄

that's so cool

[primal loom]

Yeah!

[finite hazel]

i totally did not get it at first

but they were acting a bit weird for a npc

like, different

oh my heheh i wish i could have thanked them

🥱

[orchid fox]

Contemplating playing some deeprock if i can figure why my push to talk aint working

[thorn dawn]

Are you pushing?

[idle saffron]

Yoooo NMS?

[primal loom]

Yoooo

[quaint escarp]

thats starfield

[primal loom]

garfieldd

Making some big booms

Everspace 2 is a blast

[finite hazel]

figured that would be it

[glossy kestrel]

its gona be good bro... given how much u play NMS, im already seeing you play SF non stop 😉

[silver sparrow]

borderlands live action movie

[upbeat bolt]

Oh no

https://tenor.com/view/no-consuela-family-guy-gif-7535890

[orchid fox]

it says something when writer/director refuse to have his name in the credits

[upbeat bolt]

Distancing himself lol

[finite hazel]

oh yeah, gonna get sucked right into it

also started playing Elite a few weeks back

but NMS still has that huge place in my heart so 😄

can't put it down, like, ever

[dark mesa]

elite is so confusing since i cant find steam key

[glossy kestrel]

Dont know why ud need the CD key tho...

[orchid fox]

wai

why do u need cd keys?

[dark mesa]

oh nooo i refunded the game

uhhhhh

[coarse swift]

That moment when you refund a game over user error

[orchid fox]

uuuuuuuh @glossy kestrel what is the cd keys for? cuz im here like "i dont have such a button"

[primal loom]

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

[primal loom]

Say you bought the game through Frontier's website, you could enter that key into Steam to activate it there

I'm not sure you'd ever need it for anything else

CD keys are unique to your copy of a game as a proof of ownership

[glossy kestrel]

dont need it anymore... the registration process is now automatic!
back in the day you had to use the key to register in the ED website... now its all trough STEAM

[primal loom]

Long gone are the days of getting a cd key inside a game case and manually registering it during installation 😅

[dim plover]

This is a spaceship i built in a game called Ylands

oh dang, you can't directly send gifs in here?

Anyway, if you like lowpoly exploring/building games, check out Ylands. It's such an underrated game

[primal loom]

Looks great!

[primal loom]

You can, but you have to have a certain rank in the server before you can do so - it's an anti-spam safeguard

[snow zenith]

Topular Gleam

[orchid fox]

may i ask context for what game?

lol

[snow zenith]

I'm gonna sayyyyyyyyyyy

Either a racing game or Elden Ring

[primal loom]

Forza Horizon 5

[snow zenith]

Dunno why

Ayy

[orchid fox]

bingo

[snow zenith]

My prescience is magnificent

[orchid fox]

forza has friend leaderboards?

[primal loom]

yep

for the little speed traps and drift zones and such

[orchid fox]

holy shit my pc does not like returnal with film grain/ray tracing

[primal loom]

My pc doesn't like ray tracing period lol

NVIDIA 1000 series isn't built for it

[quaint escarp]

same car ?

[primal loom]

Probably not

[quaint escarp]

cant race without being in the same car or at least same class

smh

i always use my bugatti for the fast races

[primal loom]

def

we did some races in the same class

[idle saffron]

Drift zones

Driiiift

[primal loom]

driiiift

Driftular Gleam

[idle saffron]

DriftBeak

[quaint escarp]

drifting? i just use that to get xp

[quaint escarp]

go into big dirt zone and then just drift forever

[primal loom]

I'm not particularly good at drifting but I have fun trying lol

[quaint escarp]

do you have the most expensive car in the game

[primal loom]

I don't think so

I don't even know what the most expensive car is

😅

[orchid fox]

at best as per sonys own blog post i can handle returnal pc on high 1080p 60 (cuz last i checked 2070 super is equal to 3070

[quaint escarp]

143 million

2070s isnt equal to a 3070

[primal loom]

That's a lot of creds

[orchid fox]

is it not?

[quaint escarp]

thats like saying a 2080 is the same as a 3080

[orchid fox]

ye but i know 3070 8gb isnt equal to 3080 10gb

which is the recommended for epic settings

[primal loom]

https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-2070S-Super-vs-Nvidia-RTX-3070/4048vs4083

[orchid fox]

wonder if its my ram killing game

[quaint escarp]

2070s is more like a 3060ti

[thorn dawn]

Don't use userbenchmark

[primal loom]

oh

[thorn dawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQSBj2LKkWg

tl;dr: AMD fucked the guys mother or something

[quaint escarp]

and

[orchid fox]

why is returnal pc more cpu bound than gpu bound lol

[thorn dawn]

bad console port

[quaint escarp]

does that mean amd scores are lower on purpose or something

[primal loom]

Wouldn't hurt to double check that your RAM is configured properly

[thorn dawn]

Yes, every time AMD score well on their benchmark they change the benchmark scoring

[primal loom]

I may have made that mistake recently 👀

[orchid fox]

almost none of my ram or gpu is used mostly almost full cpu use lol

[quaint escarp]

was there new content or something

im watching a cinematic now

[thorn dawn]

Also probably denuevo. Though they're apparently going to prove denuevo doesn't harm performance, somehow

[idle saffron]

Hi Low Donut

🍩

[orchid fox]

as per steam page doesnt use denuevo and it should legally be listed there if it does

[thorn dawn]

yeah just went to check, surprising

[orchid fox]

allright uninstalling/reviewing cuz this performance is jittery enough for it to be unpleasant in my native res i dont really wanna force myself to scale down everything to 1080p

[primal loom]

I forgot to set up the XMP profile and it was hurting my CPU performance quite a bit

lots of jitters and such

[orchid fox]

no offense but idk what that is aka xmp

[primal loom]

https://www.pcgamer.com/what-are-xmp-profiles-and-how-do-i-use-them/

It's a way to make overclocking RAM to it's rated speed easier, have to do it through your computer's BIOS menu

If you don't have your RAM configured it will only run at its factory speed

[orchid fox]

allright opening bios

[primal loom]

You can do it manually but XMP profiles do a lot of it for you

I'd recommend reading up on it and watch some videos first (If you have to overlock it manually, your RAM should have a sticker on the side that tells you the proper clock speed, timings, and voltage - make sure the sticks are slotted in matching channels too)

[quaint escarp]

super wheelspins suck i never get good stuff

just did 12 of them

no leg car

[idle saffron]

Ris has a slipper car

[quaint escarp]

oh got the barbie car

[primal loom]

same price basically

[coarse swift]

Should I stick foam padding beneath my psu

[thorn dawn]

Is it vibrating?

[coarse swift]

New one might

[quaint escarp]

stick it where it touches

[coarse swift]

But the new one is also a bequiet

[thorn dawn]

Only do it if it vibrates tbh

Foam insulates heat as well as noise

More hot is more noisy

[quaint escarp]

couldve been me

[coarse swift]

Sucks to suck

[quaint escarp]

[thorn dawn]

Classic skill issue

[quaint escarp]

i got this coming

[coarse swift]

Is it bad that I'm more interested in my new PSUs cords than I am the psu

[quaint escarp]

its just cords

[coarse swift]

Yea but these ones look neat

[dry dirge]

what's a psu

[quaint escarp]

oh did you buy fancy cables

[coarse swift]

No

It just comes with nice cables

[quaint escarp]

oh

it actually stands for pink sparkley unicorn

[orchid fox]

@primal loom ok ye now stuff loads super fast

enabled xmp2

[primal loom]

Nice 👍

If you end up having blue screens or anything like that could be the RAM setup is unstable and you'll need to play with it a bit

usually it's fine, but something to be aware of

[orchid fox]

its been a year with this pc and none told me about this

[primal loom]

Don't feel bad

I went six years LOL

Some friends had some spare parts to give me and while we were putting them in they discovered my RAM needed configured

I had everything else done right so there's that at least 😅

[orchid fox]

@primal loom was the ram speed fucking over performance in returnal

literally couldnt load fast enough

[primal loom]

So it's all good now?

[orchid fox]

seems like

[primal loom]

Awesome 😁

I had a feeling that might be it

When I clocked mine up I noticed a CPU usage drop across the board in every game I've tested so far

Poor thing was being bottlenecked from working efficiently

[orchid fox]

now down to like 40

from 70

[primal loom]

Excellent 🤌

[ruby void]

got a steam deck question. has anyone played any of the assassins creed games on the deck and if so which ones can play on there just fine?

[quaint escarp]

@ruby void https://www.protondb.com/

[ruby void]

oh hell yea haha thank you so much

[quaint escarp]

been thinking of getting asscreed games too but might just get black flag instead of the collection

[ruby void]

funny enough my favorite ones of the whole series is either unity or syndicate idk why but they just felt fun

[quaint escarp]

want the old ones

but new ones are part of the collection

[ruby void]

yea i mean i have a good chunk of the but sadly they are all on the ubisoft launcher and not on steam

[quaint escarp]

yeah not a fan of having other launchers on steam deck

[ruby void]

well ive heard that you can get the ubisoft launcher to work on the deck but its got some major bugs

[quaint escarp]

yeah i can get them to work, but i rather have them all on steam/steam deck natively

[ruby void]

yea exactly

[quaint escarp]

you cant screenshot non steam games on the deck without an addon

[ruby void]

same for the watchdog series

it is amazing tho that the steam deck community is so vast

i have a plug in that lets me change the art work of my games and so far i have yet to find a game that doesnt have at leat 1 custom artwork

[quaint escarp]

theres a lot of customization and plugins

you can upload your own too

[ruby void]

yea even tho im horrible at art like that lol

[quaint escarp]

i mean from the web

some of the nintendo ones get copyrighted so i have to upload my own to use

i use mine as a switch emulator

[ruby void]

ahhh gotcha

yea i havent started emulation yet on mine

Kori died

I had no idea because it wasn't an update. She posted it to a third party account so it wouldn't become the focus of the things she said she's keeping in his memory, his channel included

I don't even know if it's true...even with that explanation.

I just saw them post a few days ago

Yeah he did a package opening video 5 days ago

[ivory tendon]

@ashen cave what main reason do you think NMS has?

Coordinate sharing type stuff?

[idle saffron]

Starfield isn't going to beat anything, nor does it need to, space genre has so much room

Elite will still get played, NMS will still get played, even star citizen

Eve online ofc

[ivory tendon]

Sure. But there's a lot of overlap

[idle saffron]

Only in the most basic sense

[ivory tendon]

And where that occurs, I can't see NMS being competitive

How so? SF is obviously putting a lot of emphasis on exploration

[ashen cave]

The scale and procgen of an entire galaxy

That is it's only strength, plus it has almost multiplayer

So it's minecraft in space

[ivory tendon]

It's not an entire galaxy. It's like thirty or forty planet setups and everything else is just window dressing

[ashen cave]

Anything that has to do with flying, fighting, or other tactile stuff it just doesn't have

[ashen cave]

Have you seen what planets are like in real life?

[ivory tendon]

Like yeah, you can say it's quintillions of planets as a marketing blurb

[ashen cave]

Yes, that is what the game has going for it

[idle saffron]

I mean, that's what starfield is doing with their wrapping

[ivory tendon]

But in a practical sense you might have several dozen largely unique planet setups

[ashen cave]

And a specific niche of people who like that sort of thing

Maybe, but that's a different game

It isn't coming after no mans skys niche

Or ED or SS

[idle saffron]

I'll play both, and E:D

[ivory tendon]

The thing for me is that they're saying it's a mix of procgen and hand mafe

[idle saffron]

Not into Starcitizen yet

[ivory tendon]

NMS suffers horribly for being purely procgen

[ashen cave]

Under no circumstances do I listen to anything anyone at Bethesda has to say about anything

[ivory tendon]

For sure. It needs to be said anything on SF has to be taken with plenty of salt

[ashen cave]

I don't know what you mean by suffers

[ivory tendon]

Todd is famous for lying lol

[ashen cave]

the game does pretty well for what it set out to do

[ivory tendon]

Planets are largely interchangeable

Color palette and occasionally the rocks and foliage are about the only things that change

[idle saffron]

I'm looking forward to Starfield, but it's already without one of the main draws that NMS has for me that none of the others do yet. Quick and easy planetary landings, no loading no lining up for orbital entry, just zoooom to the planet

[ashen cave]

Do you want them to be square planets instead

[ivory tendon]

I want there to be a reason to visit planets for reasons that aren't oooh pretty

[ashen cave]

Then you played the wrong game

Call of duty and metal gear both have guns in them

[ivory tendon]

Every planet in an occupied system has every PoI, any planet of the same type is usually interchangeable with any other

[ashen cave]

But they are vastly different experiences
