other-games

[dry copper]

I hate this game's "request system"

Players can request items from other players in a shopping list the whole server can see, but because the regions are separated like servers, the request list changes from region to region of the game and whatever instance of a region you drop into, you can't save the requests...and who the hell happens to have all the random shit people ask for in the world? It's at home in a storage box.

So you go home to get it, come back and it's a whole new region...the list changed

I think this person is broken

[weak tiger]

Nah that looks right to me

[glass plinth]

I actually sit around helping folks with the request system.

In the end, its useful for yourself and helpful to newcomers.

However the issue with instances, yeah your spot on

That being said, im not sure there is a tech solution

Not with the model the game uses.

MAN, im getting drawn in by the Starfields storyline. VERY much a fallout style

[orchid fox]

@fleet moat out of curiousity tried baldur yet

[fleet moat]

I have not What's it about?

[weak tiger]

whaaaat

[orchid fox]

how tf do i even explain it as i started with bg3 game wise. uuuuuuuh just gonna spoiler tag. its basically a official dnd approved story with a lot of dnd gimics || about mindflayer "stuff" that then becomes an adventure || where your choices actually matter depending on ur dice roll

i consider it my top 2 of the year tbh

[weak tiger]

It’s amazing told it’s just like D&D, massive story and roleplay potential

[orchid fox]

im actually happy the games diceroll ACTUALLy change outcome

and isnt just "fake decisions"

[weak tiger]

Yeah really nice translation from tabletop to video game

[orchid fox]

hold on lemme find the fucking quote my mate found

@weak tiger

You know that time when you're playing D&D and you think "man it would be so cool if this was a game but it would be too intricate and extremely difficult and tasking to create so it's prolly not a reasonable thing to wish for"? Well this is that game.

it is so accurate it hurts

lol

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/2clSTM3UvTo?si=KiQwc61PYbiPLlU1

[orchid fox]

also that moment the show diceroll on co op partner spectating their dialogue just pulls this shit cuz the prompt broke

it may be 1.0 buuuuuut

still bugs

dou several 1000 get fixed the last 2 patches

[prime pivot]

[orchid fox]

also wormy if u have played div 2

abuse speak with animals spell

i toggle it after every rest lol

[weak tiger]

I use the hell out of that one

[orchid fox]

my friend maaaaaay be a fighter lock talking bosses into || suicide || with friends cantrip abuse lol

[dry dirge]

Also there is karlach so it's a 10/10 game

[orchid fox]

if you dont wanna be spoiled on a dark urge event dialogue just cuz i show a bug dont click. ye this shit was first that happened in our co op run the moment patch 2 hit and idk why

what the fuck happened to my screen lol

[prime pivot]

MS?

[orchid fox]

ms?

[prime pivot]

Microsoft

[orchid fox]

prob i guess lol

[prime pivot]

That or you caught it mid render lol

[orchid fox]

i think it was as he spawns jumping over campire fucked up my screen

[prime pivot]

So mid render it is then

[orchid fox]

also spoiler for a gale dialogue thing. tell the npc ur not paying attention without telling them u dont pay attention

my mate had to give me the answer

lol

[strange dune]

Those are some weird mfing names

[orchid fox]

i was dualclassing for theif but then i kinda fucked myself over spellslot wise

[fast badger]

its just not the same

hey how does magic and spells work in Baldurs gate 3?

do they use mana or what?

[orchid fox]

uuuuuuuh how tf do i explain it

[dry dirge]

you have spell slots

[orchid fox]

same as dnd consume a slot

cantrips is unlimited

[thorn dawn]

@raven vault

[orchid fox]

just refresh

[fast badger]

so same as dnd

[orchid fox]

lemme boot up

[dry dirge]

yup

[orchid fox]

yep pretty much

dou some cantrips can be used as reactions in dialogue

[fast badger]

what if I wanna talk to every animal with speak with animals?

[orchid fox]

that is a level 1 slot consumed

last until long rest

[fast badger]

is there a timer?

[orchid fox]

which u dont do that often

no

perma til long rest

lemme boot it up

screenshots inbound

[fast badger]

sure

[orchid fox]

also if u dont have it installed yet recommend ssd/m2 drive 99% of time im waitin for mates hdd to finish fucking loading lol

[prime pivot]

You can get a 1Tb for like $50 now

[orchid fox]

i have 2tb 7000mb/s m2 drive costed me like 100-150 :^)

[prime pivot]

I have four 500gig ones

[orchid fox]

@fast badger examples. short rest cirle means recharge, until long rest its perma active til long rest, turns is timed in combat turn wise or out of combat i think its like 1 turn equals 1 second, then other stuff like per battle

speak animals use one spell 1 tier but is perma active til u long rest

which u USUALLY do 1-2 times per session

dou shit like short rests uuuuuu are only permitted 2 short rests between long rests

which is big change from dnd

heals around 50% of party

then stuff like concentration if u get hit once u need to roll a save throw if the effect stay placed or get canceled

[raven vault]

nice

[orchid fox]

but that roll is automatic

[orchid fox]

and can only have 1 concentration active per char

so cant do a me place spike ground then go stealth cuz stealth is concentration canceling spikes

there was a decent bunch of rule changes to make sense of games

looks at using potions, jumping, shoving being bonus actions. and the fact throwing potions to heal allies is legally allowed in this game

[fast badger]

ohh so its like concentration

[orchid fox]

kinda yes kinda no its just a toggle til long rest not actual condition of not getting hit etc

stays active even in combat

[fast badger]

yeah the effect is activated until you go to sleep

okey that does make sense and I should probably use that in my dnd sessions

now that I think about it

[orchid fox]

speaking with animals have a decent of interesting interaction

example || an ox being a murder mimic slime almost oneshottingb our quest vendor lol ||

[fast badger]

a paladin should detect that right?

[orchid fox]

no clue cuz its not an echantment

lol

if u mean animal speak

[fast badger]

I mean that paladins have an abilitie called "detect good and evil"

[orchid fox]

prob i think?

havent tried dou lol

tbf i dont even know if that spell EXIST in baldur 3 lol

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Detect_Thoughts best u get is this

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Protection_from_Evil_and_Good or this

but there is no "detect evil" in baldur 3

and that isnt actual detection just protection from x amount of types

[orchid fox]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DirQybeCU60 i swear to god if yoko taro claims this is cannon in same vein as ff raid series is cannon and gacha game (niers own) is cannon lol

how much demon money is gachas getting my god lol

[frigid yarrow]

I guess i'm only good at building

[orchid fox]

I would agree

Oof

[strange dune]

Would love to play this game again but my damn disc thingy part broke so my ps4 won’t take in any discs 😭

And I had so much progress on it too

Guess I could transfer the game tho

[frigid yarrow]

One cannot imagine the pain

[orchid fox]

How tf lol

Did it land in the forbidden place x_x

[frigid yarrow]

Definetly sounded like so.

starfield needs an intel i7 6800k or an intel i5 10600k

which are both 200 dollars

pain

I was hoping I wouldn't need to spend 200 dollars on a new processor cause I was told that my i3 10100 would be enough for a few years

actually why not try it again

yup did it again

Weird, worked for me

[upbeat bolt]

It's painful to watch this especially around 4:31 - 6:40

I tear up every time. The memories & friends the innocence long gone & simpler times with passionate game developers.

[timid sonnet]

i was reminded about dwarf fortress
sadly neglected since i got NMS
here's an invasion, it killed my fort

[dry dirge]

I love dwarf fortress! What is that lizard man though? never seen them

[timid sonnet]

That's a were chameleon, they overran everyone

A child one, judging by the speech bubble

[static dock]

thats dwafr fortress??? it thought it was like a boring text based game

[timid sonnet]

it was originally ascii based, it now has a steam release with that graphics set ^ although even the original release had many downloadable tilesets to customise it

[dry dirge]

You're a boring text based game 😤

you can also change the steam version to ascii if you want

[timid sonnet]

i first played 12~ years ago, a lot has changed aha

[static dock]

lmao sorry Im not that old. I wasnt even born during the text based games era

[static dock]

it looks cute. Im a sucker for pixel art and Ive been recommended to play dwarf fortress a lot so I might finally give it a try

[timid sonnet]

it's a base builder primarily - there is an "adventure mode" but in the steam release that's still not ready

just to test it though, grab the free ("classic") version and mod it a little by way of graphics sets https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Graphics_set_repository - i used to use mayday

[dry dirge]

I didn't play much of the classic one, but I always loved the graphics set made to look like old final fantasy

[strange dune]

Omg I need gta 5 now

[broken plaza]

Should I do it?

[coarse swift]

are you asking if you should post that in #1145350915172356166

Do we have Pokemon people here?

And I don't mean like "oh eevee is so cute and I love Pokemon Go" I mean like "I'm breeding for a shiny perfect IV ferroseed, but I just traded my perfect IV japanese ditto to my friend"

[raven monolith]

i don't think eevee is cute nor do i play pokemon go, but i don't perfect EV or IV stuff, what does that make me?

😌

Fionna and Cake music so good

[safe swift]

is there a game that you can explore cities?

[fallen notch]

Assassin's Creed? 😅

[mild mural]

Starfield is so absolutely amazing I will be playing No Man's Sky for many years to come.

[tame cairn]

Uh, many?

AC like said previously, GTA, Red Dead, Witcher games, Bethesda games, etc

[safe swift]

talking about open world space games

i am looking for something futuristic like 2047

[tame cairn]

Should’ve specified

[safe swift]

NMS is missing the PG cities

it has small settlements

but no main big cities

[tame cairn]

There’s The Outer Worlds, Elite Dangerous, Starfield.

I don’t know anything else really

[primal loom]

Star Citizen, but it's not anywhere close to a finished playable state

[safe swift]

@primal loom @tame cairn is any of those games has cities with vehicles and roads?

[tame cairn]

Nope

No vehicles

Roads though, yeah I’m pretty sure

The Outer Worlds does for sure.

[primal loom]

Star Citizen has vehicles, roads not so much

[tame cairn]

Oh, didn’t even know that. lol.

[primal loom]

The city areas are meant for walking

One is like Coruscant, not great to drive a car around there

[tame cairn]

Cool actually.

[primal loom]

Yeah

[tame cairn]

I wish there was a Ecumenopolis in Starfield..

[primal loom]

There's not really any games that have properly what @safe swift wants, I believe due to technical limitations

Star Citizen is the closest but it may be a long time before it is finished, if ever

[tame cairn]

Yeah, Star Citizen is cool.

Just don’t know if I trust it.

[primal loom]

Understandable

I've played it myself

Got the cheapest edition as a gift

[tame cairn]

That’s always nice.

[primal loom]

Yee

It's a very impressive tech demo

But anyone looking to get it should understand it is not a complete game by any stretch of the imagination

Lots of bugs and glitches and server issues

[tame cairn]

Is it basically just spaceship simulator?

[primal loom]

A lot of the backend networking is placeholder

[tame cairn]

Or is there quests and such?

[dry copper]

Which is what it will be sold as to the next poor son of a bitch that buys it off the developer after he quits the development team and sells the whole project to a holding company

[tame cairn]

Probably but meh

Can’t do anything about it tbh

[primal loom]

Not much in the way of quests, just open world sandbox

Delivery and bounty missions and such

[tame cairn]

Oh, I see

[primal loom]

Not an RPG, not a lot of dialogue

[dry copper]

It's going to idle until it's so old that the only people that want the technology are foreign nations only interested in harvesting user data for metrics and milking its popularity to prop their own projects.

It will be written as the most successful failure ever achieved.

[tame cairn]

Was it a kickstarter first by any chance?

[primal loom]

Yes

[dry copper]

How to milk $400 million on a game and never release it

[primal loom]

The way the monetization is set up, there is not any incentive for the project to finish, and as the years go by the tech debt accrues

[tame cairn]

Yeah, definitely the most elaborate kickstarter scam (probably)

Unless it actually releases

[dry copper]

It didn't start as a scam. The developer though has a huge ego and no sense of priorities.

[primal loom]

Perfectionism and scope creep

[tame cairn]

Ah..

[dry copper]

That's the worst project lead you could ever ask for

[primal loom]

Check out the history of Freelancer's development on wikipedia

[dry copper]

A project needs someone to hold the reigns and keep people in a budget

[primal loom]

Very similar story, headed by Chris Roberts who is the lead on Star Citizen

[tame cairn]

I mean, it looks cool where it’s at, just it doesn’t seem like it’s been going forward

[primal loom]

For sure

[dry copper]

Chris Roberts is just a richer bitchier version of Richard Garriott

[primal loom]

The main thing holding it back right now is network infrastructure

If they ever figure that out it could actually work, but it's extremely ambitious what they want to do

Not holding my breath but will be pleasantly surprised if the devs pull it off

Till then I've got other space games to enjoy

[dry copper]

Why is it always british americans ripping hundreds of millions off people in gaming

[primal loom]

The Bri'ish accent has a power of persuasion over the American people

[dry copper]

Americans love that cockney

[primal loom]

[austere lance]

$600m now, iirc

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/-i-star-citizen-i-has-received-600-million-in-funding

[tame cairn]

Christ

[languid oriole]

yeah, why?

[restive current]

I'm trying to make it work with multiple games, but it's...finnicky.

[languid oriole]

which game?

[restive current]

Global service runs, but it either doesn't inject into games or ReShade doesn't work with it.

[languid oriole]

and what do you want from it

Okay, there is a workaround if you want both reshade and special k

[languid oriole]

Does special k inject in the game work without reshade present?

global injection i mean

also which game

[restive current]

Multiple games, I'm trying out one-by-one. For starters...E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy.

If I boot the game without SK, RS works fine.

If I inject SK, then RS is undetected and doesn't even load.

On the other hand, in Horizon: Zero Dawn, SK and RS work fine without me having to touch a single thing.

Deus Ex, I'm using Deus EXE (for custom settings) and RS works fine, but SK doesn't inject at all.

No Man's Sky is vanilla, but again, SK doesn't inject.

It's like...extremely finicky.

[languid oriole]

If the game is using anything other than Direct X 9, 9E, 10, 11, or 12. Special K won't work with the game by default. Such example is No Man's Sky, which uses Vulkan

You can however force no man's sky to run with D3D11 by using a feature from nvidi'a control panel (if of course you have nvidia graphics card)

[restive current]

Nah, Intel iGPU.

[languid oriole]

Which may also affect performance

I'm unsure if Intel's control panel has it

give me a sec

[restive current]

No, it doesn't. And it's fine...I'm just trying to experiment with what works and what doesn't.

Main grief was EYE...it runs DX9, I use dgVoodoo2 to run it in DX12.

DX12 gives me almost double performance.

[languid oriole]

In NVidia's control panel, you have to change this setting to DXGI SwapChain

Which translates Vulkan into D3D11

[restive current]

Right, to render it in DX11 ultimately.

[languid oriole]

Yep

Which affects performance

You can try 'local injection' if global doesn't work

Hold shift, then click on the game from special k's library menu

in no man's sky it will show this option

then click on ok, then run the game

[restive current]

Shift-click doesn't do anything for me.

[languid oriole]

Hm

did you hold shift, then double click on the game / launch it

[restive current]

Shift + double-click just launches the game.

Single-click does nothing.

[languid oriole]

Maybe I'm wrong, lemme check the correct key combo

@restive current it's ctrl+shift

then click

You have to install wrapper dll

for local injection

[restive current]

I'd get that menu till last night...right now, it's not happening, but I'll just manually copy the SpecialK32/64.dll to the game folders.

[languid oriole]

should work!

[restive current]

I put that in the Binaries folder, right?

And rename it to dxgi.dll?

[languid oriole]

yeah

and rename reshade's dll as well

you can use reshade as a plugin

[restive current]

NMS doesn't have RS installed. It's still vanilla.

[languid oriole]

oh gotcha

[restive current]

OK, launching game...let's see if it boots...

Nope...no injection.

[languid oriole]

for no man's sky, it has to first translate it from vulkan to d3d11

[restive current]

Same shit in Deus Ex...I added local DLL and no injection. 😖

[languid oriole]

aww

You can join special k discord and people will be willing to help you with troubleshoot

[restive current]

That's not an option, so...c'est la vie, though I'd rather have it in Vulkan. Only reason I need it is because Intel doesn't support Vulkan properly and Alt-Tab doesn't work good that way.

[restive current]

I am...spent a whole day yesterday trying to trouble-shoot EYE...and it...works, but ReShade's a pain.

I really hate gaming at times... 😆

[restive current]

BTW, sorry for eating your brain cells too, Feral...it's just SK's been extremely finicky, so I've been trying to get help where I can. Appreciate the time. 🙏

[restive current]

Game?

[snow zenith]

Eating brains, yummy

Starfield

[dry dirge]

so um
I assume starfield is good

[restive current]

https://tenor.com/view/mad-max-thats-bait-gif-5839193

[snow zenith]

Well I got

30+ hours on it

I'd say so

[restive current]

Take the Starfield to #1145350915172356166...

Out!

[swift pecan]

will NMS see starfield as a competition and try to improve the game related to it or will they continue like they did normally ?

[bronze kestrel]

i assume this is all the game is

[snow zenith]

ok

[tame cairn]

lol

[tame cairn]

hasn’t nms always been improving the game?

regardless?

It’ll more than likely stay the same with the amount of updates and such.

[sonic spade]

Been a while I’m getting on D1 and level my warlock

[humble raptor]

No mans sky is available on previous gen

But at least starfield will be on xcloud

[shadow tartan]

Have you played No Man's Sky?

[swift pecan]

that's not what I'm asking

[shadow tartan]

Have you played it though?

[swift pecan]

I'm asking whether if the devs will acknowledge a competition and add similar features such as walking inside of your spaceship like starfield

perhaps better gunplay and more realistic spacship controls like the competitor

[dry dirge]

walking inside your spaceship? have you seen your spaceship?

[swift pecan]

not the freighter

[shadow tartan]

Couldn't even swing a cat

[swift pecan]

I personally dislike hold 1 key auto-lock enemy and shoot down gameplay, it appeals to a casual console gamer

[fast badger]

Well No man's sky personally is a really chill game

I never really liked Minecraft but I enjoy no man's sky a lot, and the devs don't have to change some mechanics to appeal more to X audience

[tame cairn]

NMS is a very chill game

[swift pecan]

I don't think those two are even comparable

[tame cairn]

Just a chill exploration game

[fast badger]

Yeah exactly

[shadow tartan]

It's designed to be played drunk like most games developed in Britain

[swift pecan]

?

[fast badger]

While they share some aspects, they are different games

[swift pecan]

I'm comparing NMS to Starfield

[shadow tartan]

Completely different

[fast badger]

Yeah I understand that

[inland path]

No Man's Skyrim

[fast badger]

But NMS and Starfield are 2 different games

[swift pecan]

they are not different other than starfield being a rpg game

it's far more linear focused game

[fast badger]

Yeah they are different

[humble raptor]

I will see how different in 6th september

[fast badger]

I play it on September 5th and 20:00

[humble raptor]

I know for sure starfield will have a main story

[fast badger]

[humble raptor]

pacific time shit

[tame cairn]

the whole genre is different

thats a big difference

[fast badger]

Yeah I am gonna spoil you the 4 hours of gameplay I do before you can play it

[swift pecan]

I'm asking whether if NMS will acknowledge a competition between Starfield or not and perhaps improve the game accordingly rather than their traditional patches

[fast badger]

https://tenor.com/view/kto-kounotoritoken-kounotori-lbow-storkholders-gif-25676352

[swift pecan]

for example having ships you could walk inside

[fast badger]

What competitors?

[fast badger]

But you can totally do that

[swift pecan]

not freighters

[fast badger]

Bruh

[dry dirge]

look at your ship man, just load up the game and take a look at it

[fast badger]

It's a big ass spaceship

[swift pecan]

you can't even drive the freighter

like you would a normal spaceship

[fast badger]

Its literally a giant spaceship that you can use to warp

[swift pecan]

a glorified fast travel mechanism

a glorified portable housing

[shadow tartan]

It's a troll, give up

[fast badger]

But that's neither here or there

[swift pecan]

I'm not

[dry dirge]

tfw I can't go for a walk inside my fighter jet

[fast badger]

At the end of the day the developers don't have to change the game to appeal to a certain audience or just because another game has a certain mechanic

[swift pecan]

They definetly could keep console friendly gameplay whilist having more advance spaceship controls

it's called competition, and I'm literally asking if they would acknowledge it

[fast badger]

Just cause has a grappling hook? Does that mean every game has to have one?

[dry dirge]

It's not competition ffs

they're different games doing different things

[fast badger]

Yeah they are not 2 games competition

[swift pecan]

There is only 2 games that can be compared so far which are starfield and elite dangerous

[fast badger]

Uhhh what about Stellaris? That's on space

And mass effect

[swift pecan]

that is a RTS game

[fast badger]

And what about star citizen?

[swift pecan]

mass effect completely unrelated

star citizen is a glorified nft project

[broken plaza]

THERE'S A STARFIELD CHANNEL?!

[fast badger]

Why? If it's on space and has spaceships

[fast badger]

Yeah it's pretty cool

[humble raptor]

What is nft

[swift pecan]

selling digital assets for real money

[broken plaza]

Non Fungible Token

Digital art to sell basically

[humble raptor]

Scam fungible token?

Cryptozoo

[shadow tartan]

No Man's Sky is a survival game with a casual mode

[fast badger]

Anyway there is no competition between no man's sky and Starfield cause largely they have different audiences. Can no man's sky add more depth to ships? I would like to, can Starfield add more stuff? Certainty and I bet they are already working on Dlc's but they are different

[shadow tartan]

Pretty sure Starfield is a single player RPG with no multiplayer features

[humble raptor]

Does nms have in game voice chat

[swift pecan]

NMS is a casual take on the open world universe space exploration game that even use the same star as Elite Dangerous and Starfield

end-goal of each game is different although this doesn't make them non-comparable, they are on the same field

[fast badger]

Yeah of course they are comparable

Doesn't mean they are competing tho

[swift pecan]

That's up to the devs to consider

[fast badger]

Yeah they are not gonna consider it tho

That's my take

[swift pecan]

There is a great audience that could pick the game simply because of the controls of the spaceship

the combat in NMS is so dumbed down that it's disappointing

for this reason only I (or someone else) could prefer the other games within the same genre (which there is only 3 but one of them is a scam)

there is 1-2 more indie projects but they are way too small

@primal loom - come pay the fuel prices.

[restive current]

No, it's not.

NMS has just enough controls for combat.

X4 combat feels garbage...too much simulation.

[glass plinth]

Meanwhile, Spacebourne 2 was polite enough to let people know a update is out and would like people to take the time to play and test it

But understands if everyones busy with starfields

LOL, i love how polite they were

[restive current]

Where?

[glass plinth]

Oh the Spacebourne 2 devs

On there discord

Games come so far lately

[restive current]

Fair. Might try it out.

[glass plinth]

Its rough, but oddly its basically a single dev version of starfields lol

All considered, i actually enjoyed it

[restive current]

Only one person made the whole game?

[glass plinth]

yup

primary development id assume

[static dock]

I just had a thought. you think cyberpunk 2077 would have done much better if it was made in bg3 style? or even better, made by larian studios? after all, cyberpunk began as a tabletop game as well

[dry dirge]

...It would just be a different game

[static dock]

hmm 🤔

[fast badger]

Damn it's weird that I am seeing a lot of mixed reviews

Like I have seen a bunch of good reviews and a high number of players but then I see some cases where they compare the game or some people just uninstall because they saw pronouns in the character maker

[snow zenith]

I like Worth a Buy but no

[dry copper]

I want a parody song to the tune of the perfect strangers intro, but instead of "standing strong" it's about buying a quality chair....

"Offiiiiiiiiice chaaaaaaaaair!! On the wheels of a king!"

[fleet moat]

I just read the pin in the video and it seems like they had the wrong expectations of the game. Or their preferences or expectations of a "space game" simply don't align with what Starfield is. You can't call a game "bad" just because it doesn't meet your expectations or preferences. I see a lot of folks writing reviews at a professional level (not just for games, but also films) that still seem to have a hard time being objective.

[snow zenith]

Tru

[dry copper]

A review is by its very nature and definition subjective

[snow zenith]

What bothers me about it is that Bethesda showed the game pretty well

[fleet moat]

Labeling Starfield a "disaster" should give away that it's more overreactive clickbait than an objective review of a game.

[fast badger]

Not to modern day journalism

[snow zenith]

They didn't try to deceive or were inherently deceitful

[dry copper]

No. It still is by modern day journalism.

[fleet moat]

Yeah, it's wild how you can misunderstand a game so much after having seen so much footage.

[fleet moat]

I concur

[fast badger]

Yeah I meant that a lot of journalist nowadays are not subjective and they have a biased view

[snow zenith]

Im loving the heck out of it

[dry copper]

A biased view is by definition subjective

[snow zenith]

40 hours in just this weekend

[dry copper]

My point is, nobody reading a review should expect is to be objective

Reviews are puff pieces

They're written more often than not for clicks

[fast badger]

Yeah that's what I meant

[dry copper]

Want a real review, read it from people not making money with it

[fleet moat]

So is Gleam. And he hasn't experienced any bugs. He's on Series X. The performance has been great, very smooth. So far at least...

[snow zenith]

Same

On PC but same

[dry copper]

I haven't even played it yet because it's not out for me and I'm lovin watching it.

and the QoL mods are looking hot

Hot to trot

[dry copper]

I've seen some metrics assessing in some cases FPS improvements of nearly 100% with some mods

That's double the frames

From like 20-30 all the wya up to 60

[fast badger]

Yeah everytime I play a game, watch a movie or read something I always go with the mindset of what does the author or developers want to show me with this piece of media

[dry copper]

That to me spells a system with high malleability

A modders heaven

I heard the one piece live action thing is supposedly pretty good

From one piece fans, at that

It's hilarious hearing reviews of a live action anime from the anime fans...They geek out about the smallest shit

[restive current]

That's still not objective.

[dry copper]

Objectivity is absolutely not the point of a review

[restive current]

Money has nothing to do with objective/subjective.

[dry copper]

Nobody is objective if they're honest.

[restive current]

Yes, but a 'real' review is still biased and subjective.

Regardless of whether they're getting paid to do it or not.

[dry copper]

When I say real I use that as code for less motivated by profit

[winter yew]

The only truly trustworthy opinion you'll ever find on a game is your own

[fast badger]

No, it's my opinion

[restive current]

Eh, profit is just one part of the equation, so...

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fast badger]

Just believe what I tell you and gimme money

[restive current]

How about I believe what you tell me and YOU give me money?

[dry copper]

hahaha, someone's been reading Cracked.

https://tenor.com/view/rowan-atkinson-blackadder-wibble-gif-19848629

[fast badger]

Should we be like anthropologist while reviewing a game? I mean after all we have our opinions and stances so there is always gonna be a bit of personal push while making a review or summary of something

[dry copper]

Better yet, give reviews the grain of salt they're worth and don't fret when some pencil pushing wab posts their regurgitated frustrations online

I wish wab would at least be funny when they're being dicks

Like Yahtzee is

and ya know the author of that video is smelling regret

[fast badger]

I love yahtzee

[dry copper]

Dude posted another video less than a day later

[fast badger]

Also I think I found the perfect reviewer for you

[winter yew]

Wab sometimes has takes I agree with, but this time around it's obvious the game takes patience he doesn't seem to have

[dry copper]

Is his name Mattox?

[restive current]

I only read one article on Cracked.

[fast badger]

https://youtu.be/3uuI-6fwwtY?si=nfvGXy2DmbWVTqrw

[dry copper]

This is the greatest reviewer

http://maddox.xmission.com/

[snow zenith]

I like how he complains about the fast travel system... The one he can choose not to use and get the experience he wants (walk back to ship, launch, jump, land)

[restive current]

No. But you should only state facts and not say something that isn't.

Or mis-lead people.

'Starfield doesn't have NMS-like planet-crawling' - they never said it would, so a point like this shouldn't even exist.

[dry copper]

I'm not suffering and that's bad. I want to suffer....I mean, I want you to suffer. I mean....GIVE ME MONEH

[fast badger]

But how am I gonna make a lot of money otherwise?

[dry copper]

WAB author writes like a Flagellant

[restive current]

rants about the utterly insane and moronic idea of economics in his mind.

[fast badger]

What is wab?

[restive current]

But yea...I guess it's all about making the most views.

[dry copper]

"I'm a bad boy. Spank me. Inversely, we're all sinners; so let me spank you, too" - WAB probably

[dry copper]

Youtube channel called "Worth A Buy"

[restive current]

Conversely, we're all sinners, so let me spank everyone while being free of all repercussions.

[dry copper]

Wow. Dude's really hiding a hatred for women with the remarks he makes in his opening...I hate this review so much

"The faces all look like weird...All the men look feminin. Didn't matter if they were bald with scars on their face and mud on their face. They still look like women"

[fast badger]

That only mean he is a true GAMER

ohh sick new Mili song

https://youtu.be/1Hsj3oYhsbk?si=P84lHyBEzEc5-z_0

This one talks about capitalism, living to work and how little time the general human has in cities

[dry copper]

Mili Cirus?

[snow zenith]

I prefer the colonel human

[fast badger]

No, thats Miley Cirus

[dry copper]

I hope that song isn't trying to sell science

'cuz that's goin to get shit into oblivion

[fast badger]

what kinda songs are you listening to?

[dry copper]

I don't think this song does what you say it does. It's clearly framing the role of the individual represented in the story and not talking about the whole of an economic system or the city itself

One can have a whole other life style in the same environment

[fast badger]

its talking about a capital dystopia

and yeah for sure not everyone will have the same life style

[restive current]

gulps his words down.

[dry copper]

Is this a singer or a robot singing?

[fast badger]

@dry copperif you are interested, the author makes different kind of songs with different instruments

[fast badger]

its weird that, that is a real question now

but its a real singer with flesh and bones

[dry copper]

I'm not being pedantic. The vocals sound heavily synthed

But then there are moments I can't tell

[fast badger]

no no I mean that we have AI songs now

[dry copper]

Where it's clear

Vocaloid has that

[fast badger]

and vocaloids

[dry copper]

Vocaloid is also made in Japan first

Advanced there before anywhere else

[fast badger]

so its like wow that is a real question now, is what I am hearing made by a human or a robot?

[dry copper]

Cassie Mei is the singer, but she definately uses synths. I don't know why.

I've now listened to four of her things and she can sing without them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOcCu31oi7Q

[fast badger]

oh Camelia I love that song

[fast badger]

I am gonna be honest I have no idea what synths is (unless we talking fallout 4), but the group does different styles of songs every time

thats what I really like about them

[dry copper]

A synthesizer is an audio tool used to generate electric sounds and can generate a massive library of sounds

Often used in electronica

It's the foundation for auto tune

Problem with synthesizers are for example, any natural tricks a singer can use that Cassie Wei uses all the time sound super distorted run through a synthesizer

Example: Vibrato

This song is not about a dystopia lol

This song is about Tokyo.

[fast badger]

Tokyo is a dystopia confirmed

[dry copper]

This shit is exactly what I've heard about living in Tokyo entry level leaving college from a poor village

Train to work, work all day, eventually move into a shitty apartment the size of a match box and struggle every day

They don't even pay interns

[fast badger]

that seems like a dystopia to me

[dry copper]

I don't know. The life style in japan is horrible for the younger generation and their population is dropping almost every year.

So they leave

It will change eventually.

It doesn't seem like a dystopia to me. It seems more like a hub of change and growing diversity.

[fast badger]

I guess its not tecnically a Dystopia

[dry copper]

Change is not without pain

Japan is by no means totalitarian

They don't even have an army.

[fast badger]

but there is great suffering or injustice

[dry copper]

Every where on earth, by that argument

[snow zenith]

JSDF is armed forces in all but name

[fast badger]

Dosen't mean that it dosen't apply

[dry copper]

It does if you're using it to slander an entire nation

[fast badger]

how?

I said this song was about a Dystopian capitalism

[dry copper]

Great suffering and injustice does not define a dystopia.

I don't think this song is about either.

[fast badger]

then what does?

[dry copper]

If anything the song speaks of an individual singing about their life choices, regrets and decision to ultimately pursue a healthier life style for them. Dystopias are always speculative. The use of the term today is largely meant as a pejorative, to slander and pigeon hole a problem rather than to acknowledge problems are more than a simple definition

[fast badger]

but what qualifies as a dystopia?

[snow zenith]

My stomach

[dry copper]

The studio album by Megadeth

When I said dystopia are speculative, I meant it...literally

[fast badger]

and you know what? thats great! cause most of the songs made by Mili are like this, everyone has their own interpretation

[dry copper]

There is no single definition of when the state of a nation can be called definitively dystopian

[fast badger]

cause they are vague or ambigous

[dry copper]

Calling a nation a dystopia is like calling America Great Again.

It only sparks righteous indignation

[fast badger]

and you can freely think that

I am sticking with my Capitalism Dystopia theory

[dry copper]

Thankfully, Capitalism has made that possible for you 😉

Daaamn, rick still got it goin on

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

[fast badger]

yeah, capitalism is the only economic system that truly works

[dry copper]

Bartering works too. Love bartering

and it works within the same system

You can usually find bartering even on international trade stats under the heading "services"

So when a person says the US trades Canada way more than Canada trades back, that person is completely ignoring the services industries.

In 2019 for example: Leading services imports from Canada to the U.S. were in the travel, transport, and telecommunications, computer, and information services sectors. This was in the sum of approx $39billion.
Office of the United States Trade Representative

https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/americas/canada

The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $26.8 billion in 2019.

The U.S. services trade surplus with Canada was $29.2 billion in 2019.

Personally, I think Japan is cool. World's greatest innovators. Never seen a nation grow so fast.

I remember growing up always hearing about new technologies first from Japan

Japanese innovation would regularly take someone elses ideas and just make them so much cooler

Minimalism increases efficiency, lowers costs

It's a culture of innovation

I like this guys narration of starfield

He eid the Fallout games too

He's great with the narration

NVM, wrong conversation and server...my bad.

[upbeat bolt]

That's nonsense. I'll be straight up with you. Alot of the major reviewers are baised or had really high expectations & when you don't check your expectations you'll always be disappointed no matter how good it is.

Alot of the hate also comes from a certain group of fanboys who I kid you not got up in arms about a transition screen yes really even if it's short & Starfield is dealing with alot of High Resolution textures unlike NMS.

The game itself is solid & I've only ever experienced two bugs. The rest is just nitpicking.
Try it yourself.

Or look at steam user reviews. They at least have to buy the game to review it & not make multiple accounts to review bomb it.

[fluid hare]

So capitalism=dystopia?

[restive current]

I'd say yes, but...don't mind me.

[inland grail]

Got a new beast to play starfield

[languid oriole]

Game can't be reviewed yet though, at least not till 6

I bought premium edition, and I didn't like the game either tbh

[upbeat bolt]

@languid oriole That's fair games are like food not everyone likes it :). I haven't enjoyed a game like this for eons so I'm binging on it. That & I'm glad it's doing well & Bethesda got their crap together.

Not another 76

World generation in Starfield is soo much better. A bit flat could use more variation in that regard. But you get multiple biomes for the lush worlds like earth. On one planet I live on I've been to irratiated deserts, lush plains, swamps & spruce forests & found a forest near an ocean. That'll be my home planet.

[coarse swift]

How come?

[languid oriole]

The story is meh at best, I got bored very quickly. And honestly, gave up on playing the game. Must have somewhere around 10 hours. Graphics are basically potato for a AAA title from 2023, RDR2 did a way better job with the graphics and facial animations. They went with quantity over quality, most planets are procedurally generated with not much exploration to do.

RDR2 released back in 2019

[dry dirge]

I like the graphics, it's stylized

[coarse swift]

https://tenor.com/view/excuse-me-blank-stare-really-seriously-eye-roll-gif-17902358

[languid oriole]

[coarse swift]

Eh, I disagree on all fronts since I'm actually playing the game, but to each their own I guess.

[languid oriole]

That's fair.

[dry dirge]

Only thing I actually proper dislike so far is the melee combat

everything else is good enough to great

[coarse swift]

Been rolling my eyes too much at Starfield haters to even bother trying to debate Starfield anymore

I enjoy the game, that's all that matters.

[dry dirge]

yup

[languid oriole]

I hope you're not being passive agressive lol

Because the same applies for starfield fans.

[coarse swift]

Dont rope me in with a fanbase

[languid oriole]

[coarse swift]

A lot of people seem to have really bad takes of the game, and a lot them haven't even actually played it or set their expectations too high.
Or seem to forget that BGS has a specific style to the look of their games.

Or consider anything less than a perfect looking environment to be potato graphics

[languid oriole]

I have to mention it, you just said you don't wanna debate, yet you seem to be bringing points which I just brought up. You see, the only comment you made right was "each to their own" and I totally agree with it.

[coarse swift]

And?

[languid oriole]

and?

[inland grail]

Its quite the beast

[coarse swift]

A debate would be me trying to convince you that you're wrong

A discussion is what we're having now

Thank you everyone for ruining Starfield with discussions and spoilers

[inland grail]

[shadow tartan]

WAS

[coarse swift]

Kinda weird to insist we're having an argument tbh, we can have a healthy discussion

[upbeat bolt]

That's just realistic. If you listened to what they were going for a Nasa punk like experience. The eyes for me are off.

[coarse swift]

The eyes need some serious work lol

[languid oriole]

It's not debate, or discussion when you are attempting to provoke the other side, I hope you understand that it's also not a healthy discussion.

[inland grail]

Its a Bethesda game what u expected lol

I had no expectation of starfield tbh

[shadow tartan]

Mod team even made a thread, same as Elden Ring.
People should have some respect.

[inland grail]

And it overdelivered

[coarse swift]

Lets agree to disagree, I'm sorry that I made you feel provoked. Just trying to talk

[upbeat bolt]

At one point some people called it xbox 360 graphics. That's the point I knew they were huffing paint.

Led paint

[coarse swift]

The more I hear these comments the more I really do wanna take a break from the server.

[dry dirge]

starfield and its consequences have been a disaster on the no man's sky off topic channels

Without HDR is does look Grey. To be fair.

Its like when people try to redirect video game conversation to other-games-and-media

Nah not like that dude, people are posting big spoilers

But the graphics are really good otherwise. I want to build a star trek shuttle.

[coarse swift]

I haven't spoiled anything?

Never buying this game, I wanted to walk casually

How dare they make us run

why not walk formally?

Why walk at all? Just stand still

75 bloody songs lol

Do make a point to visit all of Starfield cities they're quite well done. Beyond that I won't say anything else.

Can you in Starfield:

1. Capture and sell ships?
2. Move ship modules to cargo/storage/for later to build 1 ship out of 2.

1. Yes
2. I'm not sure?

[wintry vector]

Nobody will change my mind

[fast badger]

[wintry vector]

Nah, I'll ascend to the next plane and be welcomed for my constant and consistent correctness

[dry dirge]

Arguing about if tacos are sandwiches are irrelevant, tacos are horrible and should no longer exist

[humble raptor]

Imagine dragons

[dry dirge]

"mmm yes I love my food falling on the ground"

[wintry vector]

You obviously fold them wrong you dingus

You're supposed to fold the end you're not eating in and then fold the sides

Tuck em in

[dry dirge]

Or I could just eat a based burrito

[wintry vector]

Why would anyone want a "hard shell taco" anyways

[fast badger]

@wintry vector lets join forces to tell him that he is wrong

[wintry vector]

Just eat nachos geez

Super wrong, they're awesome

Tacos, burritos, nachos, all good

Then again most of my experience on all fronts is from taco bell

[glossy kestrel]

@finite hazel @inland grail This is a good one for u guys! https://youtu.be/A9rfGKxhJfY?si=GmV0VF8p96jLX6KH

[austere lance]

Foul

[wintry vector]

[austere lance]

Go to an actual Mexican restaurant 😤

[wintry vector]

I have no money, taco bell is a treat 😔

[austere lance]

Mood tbh

[fast badger]

or make it yourself

[dry dirge]

taco bell is a treat, but I am a threat

[wintry vector]

Well, I have a decent amount of money but that's savings and can't be spent on stupid things like food

[dry dirge]

that doens't even rhyme

[austere lance]

Imagine having savings, smh

[wintry vector]

I have 13k saved up

[fast badger]

I mean usually making your own food is cheaper or more resourceful

[dry dirge]

spend it all on legos

[wintry vector]

Eventually

Legos, rocks, birbs

Paint

[austere lance]

Spend it all on me, my idea of savings is the sad amount of money I have in my account after bills and groceries

[wintry vector]

Typewriter

I've been saving for a while

[dry dirge]

13k nowadays is enough to buy like
1 lego set

[austere lance]

True

[dry dirge]

maybe 1 of those little baggies too

[wintry vector]

Tbh, I'm just very lucky. Most of my college bills are covered so I actually have a chance to save

[austere lance]

One beeg set, like a massive Death Star

Or that one Rivendell set

[fast badger]

you should buy bitcoin

cause uhhhh

[austere lance]

Kill your bank account quickly, start buying 40k stuff 🤣

[fast badger]

hey at least you can sell those backs

[wintry vector]

😂

Nah

[austere lance]

Nuke your savings and buy physical copies of all 60+ Horus Heresy books

[fast badger]

honestly you could actually do that, cause warhammer 40k stuff usually keeps their value

[dry dirge]

Hardcover too

[fast badger]

and then sell it back

[austere lance]

My friend is a moron and started building Gundam figures even tho he knows shit about Gundam stuff, lol. Lord knows how much money he's already dumped into buying and building em 💀

[fast badger]

to be fair mechas are awesome

[austere lance]

Bonus points: He's already hooked on buying Lego

Now he's doing both 💀

[inland path]

by Azura, it's the great champion!

[upbeat bolt]

Fun :).

[upbeat bolt]

I know the silhouette by heart lol

[restive current]

[tame cairn]

Skyrim

[dry copper]

Modded into Starfield

I'm really impressed with what I see on this ObsiAnt video gameplay footage

[inland path]

is that art?

[dry copper]

All things could be said art

[inland path]

reported

[dry copper]

arted

[restive current]

I don't know...you tell me.

[restive current]

I can't believe people actually use the 'cozy' layout rather than compact.

[tame cairn]

do what

[restive current]

Look at this.

The massive profile picture, the name above and text below...

Go to Discord settings and then Appearance and switch to Compact mode and see how many messages fit in.

Cozy mode is so...cringe.

Cozy above, compact below.

[weak tiger]

That’s what compact mode looks like?

[restive current]

You have evidently never been on IRC.

[dry copper]

You have evidently illusionary conceptually perceptively

[weak tiger]

Well I could tell you that 😂

[restive current]

Nice malarky, Malarky.

[dry copper]

I malarky

[restive current]

IRC = text-only. No fancy pictures, no fancy spacings.

Just good, old text.

Compact Mode = culture.

[weak tiger]

Gotcha

I do need to see profile pics, but compact mode would be really nice on mobile. already have to scroll so much

I’m gonna start a new BG3 save today I think I did things in an order that may have made it significantly worse on me lol whoops

[restive current]

Why pictures?

[restive current]

Congratulations.

[weak tiger]

Profile pictures can be cause for concern, mod thing

[weak tiger]

cant wait to spend another 40 minutes in character creation lol

[dry dirge]

||what did you do||

[weak tiger]

||did a beeline for the main quest and accidentally skipped lots of stuff around the world before the goblin camp, which was a gigantic pain. I couldn’t even clear it out after killing the leaders, had to go to the Underdark and take the portal back. I don’t know if I closed a lot of stuff off to myself but I’m missing at least two companions too. I don’t need to restart but I would also like to pick a different class and see if it feels better in combat||

Not deleting the first save or anything but I’m curious if different classes will feel better for me. I really like Bard but I’m not using it to its full potential honestly I just like playing instruments and insulting people

[dry dirge]

||Yeah, the points of no return are really annoying||

[restive current]

Ah, that way...

[restive current]

Just 40? 😆

[dry dirge]

||I almost missed Karlach||

[weak tiger]

I missed her and ||Wyll? Encountered him and never found him again but he’s apparently also a companion||

[weak tiger]

maybe a tad longer

[restive current]

Not a real player till you spend 3 hours customizing down to the smallest detail.

Damn, Discord web just reloaded and I thought I got banned...

I swear...one of these days, I'm going to get a heart-attack for real.

[weak tiger]

It bugs out all the time on mobile and sometimes doesn’t show a specific person’s role color so it looks like they left 😂

[tame cairn]

Meh I just like it cozy

I also like to see pfps idk

It would probably help on mobile, to be able to see more maybe

[orchid fox]

@weak tiger next run i will be circle of spores leaflover. Dunno bout second class yet. But i just want the spore resurrect to be the groups fungi fun guy

By spore raising dead lol

[tame cairn]

[austere lance]

I love the trilogy so much 💕

[tame cairn]

Exodus is great though

[austere lance]

I'm replaying them all again and getting the secret/good endings for each one 😆

[restive current]

Yep...it's a PITA.

[orchid fox]

https://youtu.be/1jJUjfMYvVo?si=ddWpmYDGY6zNudnr @weak tiger it is out but this vid is out in release. Basically summarize 5th edition data

[restive current]

Nothing wrong with that. 🙂

Er, sorry for ping.

[weak tiger]

Ooh, cool! I’ll check it out. I don’t want to worry too much about builds but obviously would rather not be too useless in combat lmao. Shadowheart was absolutely destroying enemies

[orchid fox]

The usual wildshape shit beastform owlbear etc etc basically have equivalent on 2 form hp pools etc etc

[orchid fox]

Oh its not a build just summary at start

[tame cairn]

no worries, it didn’t ping!

[weak tiger]

Considering I have no prior knowledge on D&D I’ll take any info thanks for the link

[orchid fox]

First third of vid is a summary

U have animate dead and a second variant of animate deadoutside ur ”prepare spell” pool soooo free summons ^^

U can learn most spells from class but can learn spells for paying gold consuming scrolls but only x amount can be ”slotted”

At least thats wizards case

[dry dirge]

eldritch blast eldritch blast

[eager panther]

[fallen notch]
