to 75 I believe

its 82 gb now

the games that need to be compressed are cod

WTF is MW3 even though it is trash is 270GB

[inland oasis]

my prettiest games in order of best performance - quality would be. destiny 2, best performance, and look great. then cyberpunk. GROGEOUS and slughly less quality than destiny, Then RDR2 absolutely STUNNING looking.

and now im undaunted 😄

[earnest hatch]

Honestly its crazy how good RDR2 still looks

[inland oasis]

that game does "distract me please" way too perfectly

[earnest hatch]

I love Baldurs Gate 3 but that game was too large

im glad larian is compressing it now

it got up to 140gb

and I was hollow but each update its getting reduced

its 120gb now

[tame cairn]

ur joking

holy

[inland oasis]

100-120 nowadays is about the average imo.

[earnest hatch]

N O P E

[tame cairn]

270 man what

[earnest hatch]

the crazy thing is Listen to this

[inland oasis]

oh i remember the biggest game i own now

ARK survival

[earnest hatch]

if you have 100mbps internet

The campaign is shorter than the download for MW3

[tame cairn]

Lol

[earnest hatch]

and that is standard internet

[austere lance]

I deleted the MW2 campaign, MW2 co-op, MW3 multiplayer, and MW3 campaign and the stupid CoD...launcher on Xbox is still like 150 GB 💀

[earnest hatch]

like considered good

[tame cairn]

yeah im sad about cod

truly

modern warfare reboot was trash

[inland oasis]

mw3 is literally just a damn mw2 dlc

repasted as a new game

[austere lance]

$70 DLC

[tame cairn]

jesus christ

[inland oasis]

and people still eat that shit up

[earnest hatch]

its not a DLC

[inland oasis]

stop lying to yourself 😉

[earnest hatch]

its a free update

😆

literally

[tame cairn]

Did you know that MW2 doesn’t work on Xbox?
the physical edition?

I bought it and couldnt even play it

[inland oasis]

ill never forgive them for forcing us to buy infinite warfare to play the OG cod4

[earnest hatch]

its 3 hr campaign, one zombies map and 15 reused maps

[inland oasis]

i raised my torch back then

[earnest hatch]

To be honest

I hated infinte warfares multiplayer but it was a really good campaign

[tame cairn]

Lool yeah

[inland oasis]

unforgivable

[tame cairn]

great remaster though i cant lie

[earnest hatch]

agreed

[tame cairn]

cod4’s

[earnest hatch]

honestly

[inland oasis]

here have a shit game so that way you can play the one you rly want :3

[earnest hatch]

Cod4 was probably my favorite COD

[tame cairn]

Understandable

[austere lance]

It's literally just 12 new maps, Zombies added to MW2 DMZ, a four hour campaign that reuses said new maps, and what in any other game would be considered a 2.0 rework of MW2 multiplayer. And 2.0 reworks I've seen in ANY OTHER GAME are always free updates 💀

[inland oasis]

cod4 - MW2 best in my opinion. i also have a niche love for W@W too

[earnest hatch]

No no no you give the campaign too much credit if you play it normaly its 3

[austere lance]

WaW was peak

[tame cairn]

For me it’s between Bo1 and 2
Never really was a MW guy, besides CoD4

[earnest hatch]

I will never forgive Blizzard for what they did to Overwatch

N E V E R

[inland oasis]

black ops only interested me for the zombies storyline

[tame cairn]

Round based zombies has my heart

yea

[inland oasis]

kino der toten is calling me

[tame cairn]

Campaign was great though!

[inland oasis]

ughhh

[austere lance]

OG MW trilogy was godly, WaW was peak, Black Ops 1 slapped, and Ghosts didn't deserve the hate it got

[tame cairn]

So real

give me ghosts 2

[inland oasis]

when shepard shot ghost

[earnest hatch]

Ghosts to me was like the Battlefield Hardline of COD

[inland oasis]

clostest ive come to smashing a console

[earnest hatch]

not great not terrible

[tame cairn]

💀

[earnest hatch]

you know whats insane

Elden RIng

[tame cairn]

y’know

thats fair

[earnest hatch]

Elden Ring is only 50 GB

[inland oasis]

hot take: Battlefeild Bad company I - II are better than the rest of the battlefields combined imo

[earnest hatch]

Also one of my favorite games of all time

[tame cairn]

Elden Ring…I will need to play that again soon

[earnest hatch]

I disagree I think BF1 is the best

[tame cairn]

BF1 is my favorite Battlefield, but I think bad company’s praised by most battlefield guys

[inland oasis]

no campaign was there?

[tame cairn]

I think so?

[tame cairn]

yes there was

[inland oasis]

oh okat

[tame cairn]

and it was great

BF1 very educational I like it

WW1 and its weaponry always intrigued me

[mental rose]

I have very fond memories of Bad Company 2

[inland oasis]

the introduction to the destruction in that game was what got me hooked

literally changing the map

[strange dune]

A month and some until Avatar: Frontiers if Pandora. I’m very excited.

[obtuse reef]

Unpopular opinion: the Avatar movies fucking sucked

[mental rose]

I actually liked the first game, even if it was a run-of-the-mill movie tie-in

[tame cairn]

I don’t know about “sucked” but they weren’t super amazing. First one is better than the second, but what the movies get its praise for is how good the CGI is, not really anything else lol.
And I suppose how awesome the world is and looks

[mental rose]

The conflict of staying human or becoming an alien avatar

[tame cairn]

Still blows my mind that the first Avatar is the highest grossing movie ever

[obtuse reef]

Watch the high boi summary on it, it’s pretty hilarious

I also dislike the Avatar movies because of how fucking stupid the story is

Like my guy, the plots of both movies are identical in every way

[strange dune]

First movie was definitely better. I think the second one was primarily just to see how what the movie production team could do with cgi. But also there’s like 3 more movies to come out, those may possibly be better than the first two.

[tame cairn]

Yeah it’s definitely supposed to see how far we can go with CGI

watching the avatar 2 production is kinda neat

the way they used water, very well done

They are not great stories by any means, but they aren’t absolute shit. They’re tolerable and are great to look at (which is the main point)

[obtuse reef]

I think if you rely on graphics over story, you should go back to movie making school

[strange dune]

Yeah like a test run. I think the second movie was also used as an “okay it’s been a while since the last movie came out, so let’s just establish some VERY basic things into the series before the rest of the films come out.

[obtuse reef]

Because the whole point of making a movie is to tell a story

[tame cairn]

You can say that, but Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time man

Avatar 2 is in 3rd place

[obtuse reef]

I’m not saying it doesn’t work

I’m just saying I prefer a good story

[tame cairn]

That’s most people, that’s just not what Avatar is really. It’s just a great CGI fest.

I find it funny when people like Marvel can’t even come close to James Camerons cgi

[obtuse reef]

It’s pretty to look at but since I have enough of a brain to want something more than pretty pictures, I don’t give two shits about Avatar

Tell me when the space marines show up

[tame cairn]

to each their own, just no need to be rude lol

[strange dune]

The reason why I enjoyed the first film was for the message behind, but I’m not 100% sure if I would be allowed to talk about it, since it brings up some sensitive topics. Otherwise I’m not too crazy about cgi within movies. Which is also why I think Godzilla is a shit show, all cgi and no story 🤣

But honestly if you do or don’t enjoy the films that’s perfectly fine.

Same goes with pretty much any other movie too

[obtuse reef]

Im not shitting on anyone’s taste, the customer is always right in matters of taste and what not, im just saying it’s a pretty bad movie

[tame cairn]

I agree, heavily. I’m not one to want CGI but when it’s good, it’s good and can’t be denied.
The first one I actually did like personally, the second way less so.
For example, I can’t even rewatch the Tom Holland spiderman movies cuz the cgi is pretty bad.

I can tell when he’s fully cgi, it’s very noticeable

https://youtu.be/PyvMHZOgpOU?si=EmwL7z5OI7wF1V2q

[strange dune]

Yup, neither will I. However… 😈 (lol jk)

[tame cairn]

good video

[tame cairn]

like if all cgi could look as good as avatars, imagine.

[obtuse reef]

Budgets would be sky high

[tame cairn]

would make most movies better, just from that
poor cgi draws me out of movies

[obtuse reef]

Yeah

[tame cairn]

unless its like, old

[obtuse reef]

2001 a space odyssey is a good book but awful movie

[tame cairn]

no yeah, im just saying imagine

[obtuse reef]

It’s just so damn boring

[tame cairn]

I heard a lot about it, debated on watching it so if it’s that boring lol

Nevermind

[obtuse reef]

But I do 100% recommend reading the book series

It’s good, if a little weird at times

[tame cairn]

I don’t read much anymore but if I can find an audio book that’ll do

Reading just takes up too much time, I can at least listen to it while doing things

[strange dune]

Agreed. And most of the time when I’m reading something in a book, it’s pointless information.

[tame cairn]

I used to be very book heavy in school. They are neat, thats where i learned about the hobbit lol

Books definitely influenced my entire everything

Like interests and things

[strange dune]

The Hobbit I liked. However, I’ve only seen the movies.

[tame cairn]

I remember reading it before the movies came out, the movies are alright though

[noble merlin]

Gran Turismo 7

[tame cairn]

it’s been a while now since ive seen them

[strange dune]

Ayo! It’s the mystery machine. That’s an awesome Easter egg.

F***ing finally levelled up

With undermounted GL 🙂

[obtuse reef]

Fun fact: the MP5 with the underbarrel grenade launcher from Half Life is an actual thing

Some people, mostly gun nuts, made fun of it because it seemed so outlandish for an SMG to have a grenade launcher

[mental rose]

Indeed

[obtuse reef]

I like those videos

still free stuff is free stuff ig

[orchid fox]

I havent played darktide since beta/early access 1.0 idk what aquailas was even used for

[snow zenith]

purchasing cosmetics

the thing is if you buy the game on xbox/microsoft store now, you get 14k+ aquilas

if you buy the imperial edition, you get more aquilas on top of that

PC gets 2500 aquilas lol

[orchid fox]

I mean im not surprised that xbox etc got more currency etc is the thing funded by xbox?

[snow zenith]

No, Xbox released on year after launch.
Bit of a slap in the face for the beta supporters and PC that played a pretty much "beta" version of the game lol

[orchid fox]

But 2500 is pitifull

[snow zenith]

one*

[snow zenith]

I don't doubt it's a contractual obligation with Microsoft (aka they paid for the users on Xbox to get the Aquilas) but they could come out and say that lol

[dry copper]

Question: Do you think there will be a future where we can have an accepting and forgiving enough society where a situation like this can happen in a sitcom without it pissing off gatekeepers for disabilities or am I wrong to think this would be a good way to remove some of the stigma we as a society place on disabilities?

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

On the one hand, I can understand people feeling offended for comedy using a disability to push a narrative and on the other as someone with their own issues, I don't think treating it like a curse helps. Drew makes his challenges relatable while being educational, kind and humorous at the same time.

I can't imagine many writers being able to write material both sensitive and humorous, while talking about disabilities with how quickly media twist the narrative to weaponize comedy

Being able to do that would be a real skill.

So....Maybe a dumb question

Is there a point to the sims game?

Am I just playing pretend until I get sick of it?

Is there a story here?

AM I PLAYING DIGITAL BARBIE!?

[strange dune]

Yes. Now make a Ken sim.

[dry copper]

I did...I had to...the fricken last sim couldn't make enough money to live

and the house went on fire

[strange dune]

wow… that’s actually kind of sad.

I'm prob gonna get sims 4 for tenants in december...

I wish sims 3 had tenants already...

I wonder if there's a rental mod

Imagine a Sims gun mod 💀 that would be absolutely horrible…. And yet I bet there’s one out there

[dry copper]

My first mod install was a curtain

[inland oasis]

Ik it’s a bit drastically different than sims but ever play city skylines 1 or 2? I been playing #1 lately and that shits tough.

Bro….

[dry copper]

I noticed a lot of sims stans whining about other simulation games. I loled

I'm like...dude...play whatever

[strange dune]

Fr, if you don’t like a game. Don’t play it.

[dry copper]

I'm also interested in trying out Paralives

I like cell shading

Very cartoony but somehow less than sims

Also....Car

[inland oasis]

I play games I don’t like. Only to give them a fair chance. But if I don’t like it I don’t keep playing just to complain about it either 😂

Cell shading is a different art style. Isn’t that what borderlands does?

[dry copper]

Sims is addicting. It's forced me to question the value of my time and whether or not I'm literally entering a quantum singularity because of how fast time outside of it passes when I play

[strange dune]

I really like the style

Just looked at some pictures of it

That’s how much fallout 76 was 🤣

Guess that’s what happens when the game releases a disaster and stays a disaster

[inland oasis]

It’s not that bad nowadays

Not good

[strange dune]

Just meh

[inland oasis]

But I had fun out of it

Then set it aside

[dry copper]

I probably paid more than $7...but you could probably get $7 worth of cringe worthy fun out of it.

[strange dune]

Same with 76. It’s not necessarily a good game, but I am having a ton of fun with it.

Well if I get some resources I could possibly craft you a hell cat

It’s got a base stat of 496 damage resistance

[inland oasis]

I’m not all that worried about it tbh 😂

[dry copper]

I thought you were saying you had fun with Hatred...and my immediate thought was...well...I'm not going to kink shame

[strange dune]

LOL

[inland oasis]

Oh I had a little fun with it.

I had a 3rd person mod for it

Rather than top down.

[strange dune]

well I would… BECAUSE “KINK SHAMING IS MY KINK!”

[strange dune]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__m90SnNjvM

For context

[dry copper]

Speaking of kink...wtf@atomic hearts

That game had so much potential

[inland oasis]

That game gave me such wolfenstien vibes

[dry copper]

All I see in its marketing is borderline (Insert adult entertainment word). Did they give up trying to sell a story?

[strange dune]

Oh shit… I’m having PTSD now..,, all those memes about atomic heart…. were just straight terrible 😭

[dry copper]

I remember when it was first announced how cool it looked

The concept, the idea of what fantastic story it must have to wrap around such an insane environment and make sense of it

[inland oasis]

I liked the steampunk kinda feel to it. It was like dishonored bio shock and wolfenstein had a baby

[orchid fox]

u talkin fridge lady?

lol

ive seen some clips and uuuuuuh intersting disalogue chocies lol

[dry copper]

Sims 4 Rental looks so sick...I don't even play sims 4 yet and the idea of merging the sims shit with tenants is just a sick vibe

I've been taking my sims advice from lilsimsie and she's absolutely lost her mind over it

Learning how to apartments in sims 3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U8aeGZlSOk

[dry copper]

Only problem with these "functioning" apartments is that they don't earn you any money

[winter yew]

They won't respond now, ig I made em mad.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

All I said that fired it off was saying that not having a class with covert 3 was a bad idea, which is true. Making a video to say otherwise is dumb in a mp environment where wallbangers are rampant. It helps when ppl can't see your name and fetch the location, or get marks to assist with doing that. Can't believe it led to being called out, all good... they learned some humility.

😎

[dry copper]

No they didn't. If they had, they would not have dumped you like old socks.

They will discard this experience and continue on with the caveat that you're a cheater or some other argument

[winter yew]

Totally legit got smoked tho.

Prolly right

[strange dune]

If you’re worse than a person in a video game you’re a “a useless piece of trash” if you’re better than them you’re a “pathetic try hard with no life” there is no winning with those kinds of people.

[dry copper]

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Do not play with stupid people. They'll only drag you down and beat you with experience.

[strange dune]

This… this needs to be a pin

[dry copper]

Oh lord, I've been introduced to Nraas mods

[strange dune]

And like a quote

[dry copper]

To be fair it is a quote.

[strange dune]

What’s that?

[strange dune]

Oh…

[dry copper]

Nraas mods are a series of mods that fundamentally change sims 3

Example: Story Progression changes every conceivable automated system in the game and introduces a more involved branching narrative that is not filtered like the default game

It has an insane amount of customization allowing you to fine tune and remove elements you're not interested in playing with

[strange dune]

That’s actually really cool

[dry copper]

Relativity allows you to change the speed at which days go by

So you have more time to actually do things

[strange dune]

That’s also really neat

[dry copper]

I also grabbed Careers which adds a bunch of jobs to the game that were only ever handled by NPC

Like you can become a firefighter without ambitions expansion

[strange dune]

Mods are so cool. I love how you can basically make your own game with them.

[dry copper]

I also got Apartment Mod that lets you have apartment buildings with multiple families in them and lets you swap families between them for handling the management of the building...Not necessary for making an apartment but an interesting feature

The official Nightlife expansion has features in it that let you make apartments in sims 3, exploiting some of the functionality of the expansion to designate areas for people that aren't your family and when they move in, the cost of living on your lot goes down, or you can just have a secondary lot, designate it entirely to NPC and manage the apartments

My only complaint is that you can't earn money with rental properties in sims 3

You will be able to in sims 4

Sims 3 rental properties basically either bring the cost down on properties you're living on as well, or they pay for themselves if you aren't living on the property

[orchid fox]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfDPCzHzAJw fuuuuuck same date as remnant expansion xD

[strange dune]

Damn this game with mods seems so detailed. Better play this game to prepare me for the real world 🤣

[dry copper]

You'll love taxes in the real world. They're real fun.

[strange dune]

LMFAO

I can’t wait 🤣

Saw a vid of someone getting their first taxes. The look on their face LMAO 😂

[dry copper]

I do my own taxes and have for years.

Saves me a small fortune

Places that do taxes charge a flat rate that usually eats more than it's worth using them for, in my returns

They also get special access to my taxes at a federal level that I'm not okay with

So, I removed all access to third parties to see my taxes

[strange dune]

Played some ronin in Titan Fall 2 frontier defence (normal)

[torpid lynx]

ok risk of rainers

what the fuck is this machine and why do i keep putting money into it?

[lusty relic]

WOOOOO!

[mental rose]

First race done... though my Caliburn got banged up

[frigid yarrow]

GMOD, btw

[austere lance]

Speaking of Dead Space, the remake is a banger and I hope they remake the trilogy

[strange dune]

Uhhh… you good Ronin?

[strange dune]

When you buy the budget version of the game but it’s actually good

[frigid yarrow]

Dead space 2 with remake's graphics would be orgasmic

[dry copper]

I'm winston!

[strange dune]

Huh?

[dry copper]

I don't know anything about titanfall. I'm reminded of overwatch.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9uTScSgzrM

[strange dune]

Ah okay.

[dry copper]

I know titanfall has gotten a huge boon lately. I bought the game and never installed it.

Not a bad game.

[strange dune]

“This is the worst team I’ve ever played with in my whole life.” 🤣

[strange dune]

Yeah it did. Apparently it was difficult to get into servers or something before and now they fixed that? But I never had any troubles with getting in.

[strange dune]

Also yes, the campaign and multiplayer are both amazing.

But I’ve been addicted to frontier defence lately

[dry copper]

There was a sims online? I wonder why that ended

[fringe finch]

A picture i took in Sea of thieves

The big person si my friend and im the one in the water

[strange dune]

That game looks like so much fun

[dry copper]

I think you do fishing improperly

[fringe finch]

Its called sea of thieves, its a multiplayer Pirate game, you are in a large part of a sea called the sea of thieves

[dry copper]

In your case, literally on the shore....

[fringe finch]

Yes

[dry copper]

Eating dirt

[strange dune]

Yum

[dry copper]

Why would anyone choose a big avatar? Isn't that just easier to shoot from far away?

Hello hitbox

[fringe finch]

The hitbox is the same

😂

[dry copper]

really? So if someone shot you in the same XY reference point, corresponding to the 0 coordinate of your avatar that a larger avatar had, it would register even though visually they're hitting the air?

That's not an answer and I don't believe it for one second. I've seen pvp in SOT.

[fringe finch]

Ik, but its still the same

[dry copper]

You're right.

It does hit even if visually it looks like thin air

The developers specifically addressed this concern in the early stages of development.

Though, It would still be harder to aim visually at smaller targets, it's nice that the hitboxes are the same.

There must be some crazy fakes in SOT. I saw some people pretending to be NPC

any dark souls game

[austere lance]

I feel that, it took me like 15 tries to beat Soul of Cinder 🤣

[dry copper]

Oh wow. I am so incompetent. I've been playing sims 3 on my igpu not realizing that the game was not detecting or utilizing my gpu at all

I had to manually add both the library and rendering instructions through file edits...

Though I did try and brute force it via the Nvidia Control Panel first, which....worked.

I just didn't want to need to do that.

[mental rose]

Does Sea of Thieves still have a cheater problem? I seem to remember it does

[strange dune]

Yeah Ik. It’s just that I don’t have access to the game so I can’t play it. But from the gameplay I’ve seen it looks incredibly fun.

[austere lance]

Not that I've ever noticed

Sea of Thieves very much requires playing with a friend group, cuz solo play is hell and you'll get smoked by galleons full of pvp sweatlords and matchmaking is horrendous

[mental rose]

Just like Barotrauma. Only the community is friendlier 😄

I wish my friends would play it with me... 😔

[austere lance]

Worth it for Hardspace and Prodeus

It's worth it for unpacking alone at that price

unpacking is twice that retail

Actually no...that's 11.99 American

Unpacking is still worth more then that

Finally got rental properties working in sims 3

These sims mod developers are fuckin awesome

I added schitts creek to my pvr

Hopefully it helps recover the comedy I lost from watching the sitcom big bang theory

[fluid hare]

You watched that mess?

[dry copper]

Until I learned about bird screaming into a cup, I watched BBT

Then I re-evaluated my taste in sitcoms

....realizing that there's a formula used by sitcoms....

...and the last ten to twenty years of sitcoms have almost all been using it.

[austere lance]

Schitts Creek is the best comedy show I've ever watched. It's not just a comedy, it has some heartfelt moments too 💕

[edgy prairie]

anybody here played The Talos Principle? they came out with The Talos Principle 2 recently and i am just blown away by how brilliant and perfect this sequel is

if you like AI, philosophy, and puzzles, this series is 100% for you

(oh and beautiful scenery)

[fringe finch]

But solo is still a way to train your skills, even if you get sunk by sweats

@primal loom - nostalgia moment.

[tranquil glen]

is, is that Grand Theft Auto?

[dreamy zinc]

Grand theft auto most wanted

It's a classic

[restive current]

Need For Speed: Most Wanted.

The one that died.

So that EA may live.

[inland oasis]

loved most wanted but my heart honestly goes out to NFS Carbon

[restive current]

You're a fan of Carbon?

[inland oasis]

i enjoyed it. more than "shift" or most of the ones after

all up until carbon were good IMO. afterwards it went downhill

[restive current]

TBH, Shift series is more simulator.

But yea, things went downhill.

OTOH, EA phucked up the car handling in Carbon.

Heavily.

[inland oasis]

it was very arcadey

but at the time thats what i knew NFS for.

vs gran turismo

i had it for ps3

[restive current]

No, that's fine...all games except for Pro Street and Shift are arcade.

[restive current]

Never played GT, honestly.

Would've loved to...if I had pedals and wheel and it was on PC.

[inland oasis]

GT5 is the only one i got rly into, then i made the swap to forza

i have a whole setup but its annoying swapping it out since i only have 1 pc. like when i dont play a racing game its just IN THE WAY

havent used it in forever just cuz of that

[restive current]

Yea, but still...at least you have one.

[restive current]

I love racing and would gladly do simulators all day if I had pedals and wheel.

[restive current]

Who the guy on the left image?

[inland oasis]

i got a cheap logitech G28, with a ebay handbrake. shifter too

[fringe finch]

Person in the hobbit, i forgot the name

it has SO MUCH dust XD

[restive current]

Just excuses.

Damn...

[inland oasis]

no i genuinely dont wanna touch it xD

ill cough mothballs for the next week

[restive current]

https://tenor.com/view/luke-evans-gif-24408861

[restive current]

Eh...coughing's good. Cleans your internals. 😉

[inland oasis]

i do however recommend getting a direct drive line sim wheel. not the cheap belt belt driven ones like the one i have

more pricey but way more realism and wheel feel

[restive current]

Gib money, then.

[inland oasis]

gib first then i gib back

[restive current]

Wait, I'm confused.

What do you mean by direct-drive vs. belt-driven?

[restive current]

If I had any...

[inland oasis]

the direct drive like uses like a motor/shaft/belt combo, and the others use gears and belts which often slip or arent as ...whats the word, precise?

much cheaper in design

[restive current]

Hmm...fair. If I ever get one, I'll make sure to get direct-drive.

Wanted one for NFS Shift 2, but...the price...

Logitech G29, I think.

[inland oasis]

**Main Differences Between Direct and Belt Drive Turntables
Alright, let’s cut to the chase:

Motor Positioning: While the direct drive turntable has its motor right beneath the record platter, the belt drive table’s motor is off to the side, using a belt to give the platter its groove.
Torque: Direct drive tables pack a punch with higher torque, while belt drives are more the slow and steady wins the race type.
Noise & Vibration: Direct drives have made leaps and bounds in reducing motor noise, but belt drives with their rubber belts have that natural edge in reducing vibrations and noise.
The beauty of the turntable world is its diversity. It’s not just about the aesthetics, but the engineering marvel behind each design. As technology evolves, so do the subtleties that differentiate these turntables.**

Source: https://www.thehouseofmarley.com/blog/direct-drive-vs-belt-drive#:~:text=Torque%3A Direct drive tables pack,in reducing vibrations and noise.

[inland oasis]

bout 300$ here

[restive current]

Right, right...vinyl helps me understand better.

Like a motor directly driving the spindle vs. a separate axle connected by a belt (like engines in cars or gearing on motor-cycles).

Can imagine why the latter's worse for steering.

[restive current]

That's like...more than half my current PC's cost!

[inland oasis]

yea its kinda hard to put into words how you "feel" the difference but its huge

[restive current]

No, I totally get it. One depends on friction and is far away from directly interfacing with the spindle.

Whole different feel.

[inland oasis]

like rumble strips, on a direct drive line, youl feel it and itll feel real. with the cheaper ones, its just like, idk, more of the whole thing shaking than your wheel alone vibrating

[restive current]

Yep. Direct feed-back rather than the whole shake.

I'll get a direct one...if they ever get cheaper.

Time to reach in your bank account for $500.

[inland oasis]

https://fanatec.com/us-en/ready2race/csl-dd-ready2race-bundle-for-pc-5-nm?gclid=Cj0KCQiAjMKqBhCgARIsAPDgWlyuhWgffUg4ZpYaygewIzLl6hPQhRYqQbmE43jpjV0i4UQ2cF2uw9kaAuhzEALw_wcB

Near same price as the cheaper ish ones

[restive current]

$400...

[inland oasis]

the catch with Direct drive ones. its like 300 for JUST the motor. then u still need the wheel n pedals.

so yea it gets more espensive, but its far more custom and optional

[restive current]

https://tenor.com/view/drama-queen-wallet-baby-empty-no-gif-9928979

[inland oasis]

i believe some come with motor power boosters too for more force feedback

[restive current]

Right, in case you aren't getting any from the game.

[inland oasis]

all i can say is fanatech and Thrustmaster will gouge your wallet. however fanatech can back it up with quality

[restive current]

Or need more.

[restive current]

TM = not equivalent quality?

[inland oasis]

theyre all over

certain products are great

others your better off with someone elses product and mixing them up

[restive current]

Damn... 😖

[inland oasis]

like i wish i had fanatech pedals, a TM shifter, and my cheap ass wheel

but for all that id just completely upgrade

i have a specific setup i wish i had

[restive current]

True dat. And mostly, bundled products are lower cost than individual parts.

[inland oasis]

bingo

[restive current]

I hope you can get it some day.

Or better...of course.

[inland oasis]

😄 then i can actually sell this dustball one xD

but im deff going DD line next time

had my fun getting used to it, and realized i suck. xD

[restive current]

Practice makes perfect. 😉

I so love driving...but real cars are expensive.

And can't even race, 'cause there ain't no space.

[inland oasis]

even if i had a track near me id be too afraid of blowing up my daily driver to wanna even race it xD

welp, youve got my forza cravings flowing. FM8 time

[restive current]

Nah, not that bad.

[restive current]

Send pictures.

Or I'll steal your wheel.

[restive current]

Don't make me cry.

[mental rose]

Sometimes I wish I could get one of those racing sim frame-things

Then I remember I'd have no space for it

[fringe finch]

I have one

[inland oasis]

had one also, didnt fit well, was more comfortable just mounting it to my desk lol

To be honest the game that’s the most fun to use it with is BeamNG

[strange dune]

nervous sweat intensifies

[inland oasis]

When I crash I slam my face into the wheel because “immersion”

[dry copper]

What is the meaning of this?

How do you steer with this setup?

[inland oasis]

With the wheel? I’m not sure what you mean

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-people-funny-failure-gif-15120979

This is what happens when you drive with your gear shifter behind the pedals behind the steering wheel

[inland oasis]

I have a shifter…

But yea paddle shifting sucks when trying to steer at the same time

The rolling back into someone is what gets me

People be riding your ass

[tame cairn]

i have this!

[inland oasis]

It’s not “bad” in the least. By far one of the cheaper options to get started into sim setups.

[tame cairn]

it is basically the starter

[inland oasis]

Only thing extra is my handbrake.

[tame cairn]

anything lower is, pretty dang bad

but there is better

[inland oasis]

Yea agreed. Like the cheeappp cheap generic brands.

I rly wanna get the fanatec DD CSL

but then I’d need a wheel too. And pedals.

Or my old pedals may be compatible

[tame cairn]

very neat

pretty sleek

[inland oasis]

350$ for just the motor alone is rough

Wheels are like 80 on the cheap side

[tame cairn]

crazy

[inland oasis]

Some people have spent 30 GRAND on sim setups and then I feel more justified 😂😅

[tame cairn]

true lol

[inland oasis]

I’ve never been in anything more realistic than a simple nascar sim way back when I was just a kid lol.

[dry copper]

Now I feel less weird buying mods for sims

I'm like one of those people that buy shit for sim setups...

Except I sim simming

At that price, you could probably buy an actual fighter cockpit to do flightsims in 😄

[mental rose]

Is that straw hat from vanilla game?

[inland oasis]

Yepp

[mental rose]

Hmmm

[inland oasis]

I don’t have any clothing mods

That’s one thing I’m sure of

There’s already so much in game I never felt the need lol

[mental rose]

I'm hunting for purple dress pants... already got multiple jackets.
I'm a sucker for symmetry...

Thank CD for giving us a filter for "not currently in wardrobe"

[inland oasis]

I stupidly am still carrying all my clothes 😂 I always forget bout the stash

[mental rose]

Bad idea... overcoats are like 3 weight each 😄
That'll encumber you fast

[inland oasis]

I’ve never been encumbered once yet. Lol

[mental rose]

Surprising

[inland oasis]

Got like 400+ carry weight

[mental rose]

Me too, but I'm a loot goblin, so it goes over pretty often

So I'll end up doing a lot of dismantling

[inland oasis]

I have some pretty wild mods which let me add cyberware slots. Remove my cyberware limit, etc. so I mostly sell so I can buy more and more cyberware

i gotta show u how crazy its getting

[mental rose]

Speaking of....

At this point I should just keep unmodded guns that have 2 slots and break down the rest

Getting almost exclusively tier 5++ stuff

[inland oasis]

i typically jut sell everything other than what im using at that time

i love having a clean empty inventory

[mental rose]

That's surprising, thought you'd have way more than me. Since you said you're selling guns instead of breaking down.

[inland oasis]

when u see how much cyberware i have its why i have no money

n still so much room for more

[mental rose]

That's.... a LOT of slots

Holy cow

Don't you find it OP that you have all the different leg mods for instance? 😅

[inland oasis]

my mods. lol

[mental rose]

Max quiet move speed plus charge and double jump

[inland oasis]

ehh. its only rlly used when i run around. its OP yea but, i never played it for a challenge anyways

especially when u realize i can use a deck, sandevistand AND berserk all at once if i needed

as well as every arm type xD

[mental rose]

Fair enough 🙂
I sometimes go crazy with cheats and console commands myself, so don't really have right to complain

[inland oasis]

thats how i maxed out my cyberware limit

@thorn dawn no offense to you 😂

[restive current]

CP2077?

[inland oasis]

I think he went full 100%

That’s why he doesn’t go cyberphsyco. He’s lost his humanity

[restive current]

He never had any, to start with.

[mental rose]

I think he's like Raiden from MGR. Only his brain is still 'ganic

[restive current]

And parts of his face.

[inland oasis]

Correct but in terms of organic”ness” 😂

[restive current]

Ah...

[inland oasis]

He’s chipped I think?

[restive current]

?

[inland oasis]

Like brain Vs AI chip

[restive current]

No, don't think so.

[inland oasis]

Coulda swore he when full machine

[restive current]

Smasher's still Smasher.

[inland oasis]

Only one to ever do it

[restive current]

He's not full machine, though.

He's just Robocop's evil version.

[inland oasis]

Adam Smasher is a full borg solo and rival of Morgan Blackhand. He is employed by Arasaka and by 2077, has risen to the position of head of security and the personal bodyguard of Yorinobu Arasaka. Smasher is a towering cyborg, with little humanity left to be seen - not that he ever had much

Touché

The “full borg” is what threw me off

[thorn dawn]

Oh, it's obvious you weren't talking about me as there'd be no trace left of you

[inland oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-snap-finger-snap-gif-14872956

[inland oasis]

Yea I misread. EVERYTHING but…his brain. lol. But his brain is so terrible I don’t count it 😂

[restive current]

Well, his brain makes him that powerful.

So...

Most people hate psychopathy. Smasher accepts it as normal.

So he never goes crazy.

[mental rose]

I mean... at that point he's a robot, not a cyborg anymore.
But technically.... I wouldn't be surprised if he was "soulkilled" at some point

[restive current]

Wasn't Blackhand a net-runner, though?

[mental rose]

That's Bartmoss

[inland oasis]

Yea I mistook “full borg” for fully machine. I skimmed thru the article too quickly

[mental rose]

Blackhand is a Solo

[restive current]

(Also, I always keep thinking 'wet-runner' whenever I hear 'net-runner')

[restive current]

Ah...they both start with 'B', so confoosed.

[inland oasis]

Cyberpunk lore is up there or getting up to being some of my fave lore

Like all the business and such

Arisaka, mili tech, biotechnica, etc

Even trauma team and max tac has awesome story

[restive current]

Don't worry...54 more years and we're in 2077.

Then you can see Cyberpunk for real.

[mental rose]

It has "punk" in the name. That means it's bound to be dark and gritty

[restive current]

[inland oasis]

It’s called “night” city. Of course it’s dark 😉

[restive current]

Night City with dark politics in broad day-light.

[mental rose]

What kind of last name even is Night? 😄

Edward... Night iirc(?)

[restive current]

Richard Night.

[inland oasis]

Dick night 😂

[mental rose]

Thank you

[restive current]

Counterpart of Poorest Day.

[inland oasis]

I know a few people named Richard but they go by dick. Idk how to explain it

Kinda like “Charles” people go by Chuck sometimes

[restive current]

Nah, I get the joke now. 😆

[mental rose]

@inland oasis By the way... have you ever ran into vendors that sell motorcycle helmets? Like the ones Tygers use

Kind of want one as well to complete my biker look

[inland oasis]

I don’t visit the vendors enough. So much loot half the time 😂

[restive current]

Who's there?
Dick.
Dick who?
The one you're compensating for.```

[restive current]

They reduced the loot in 2.0...

I can barely find shit like clothes anywhere.

[inland oasis]

It’s everywhere…lol

[restive current]

I miss 1.6 and before...

[inland oasis]

Everyone you kill

[restive current]

Yea, I guess...but there's not as much as there used to be.

[inland oasis]

I hadn’t noticed. I never had problems finding loot

[mental rose]

Also if you want legendary weapon mods, you basically have to buy those and then craft up from there

[restive current]

You would if you played 1.31 and such.

[inland oasis]

I’ve played since launch

[restive current]

There was so much, my save-files became large as shit.

[restive current]

HOW do you find so much loot in 2.0, then???

[mental rose]

Riight... if your save file size went past 25mb, it would get corrupted

[inland oasis]

I just know I’ve ALWAYS constantly swapped guns and clothes they my entire playthrough

[restive current]

That's why I'd pain-stakingly spend more time in the stash than I did playing the game.

Hoarding everything, replacing weaker versions manually...

Pain.

Pain.

Just pain.

[restive current]

2.0, they removed clothes being loot-able, I think.

[mental rose]

From mobs, yes

You can still find them in boxes/lockers/containers

[inland oasis]

Usually in lockers and backpacks

You can’t get them from bosses? Idk why I feel like I have before

[mental rose]

And hoo boy, if you have Phantom Liberty...
Tacticool stuff everywhere

[restive current]

Yea, lockers and back-packs are still there.

[mental rose]

I'm not joking

[restive current]

But from enemies, not as much.

Before, I'd fill my pockets with enemies alone.

Now...enemies feel...empty.

[inland oasis]

It’s cuz they automatically break down what used to be the loot

[restive current]

Eh, I'm still in the first mission. I can't adjust to the new systems.

Especially the massive lack of armour.

[inland oasis]

They still drop stuff but as you pick it up it’s deconstructing it

[restive current]

That used to be a perk before.

[mental rose]

Right, only vests/helmets give armor now

[inland oasis]

Well they overhauled the hell out of the whole perk system so lol

[mental rose]

The rest comes from cyberware

[restive current]

Not even that...you can't install Armadillo into clothes.

And I'm doing a no cyber-wear run.

[inland oasis]

Do they? I have helmets but they’re just clothing

[restive current]

So...I die.

And die.

And die.

Armadillo was really, really good.

[inland oasis]

Same as my armor and plate carrier vests. Like they have the green or red arrow

But no stats

[inland oasis]

What the

Holy

[restive current]

Depends on the helmet.

[inland oasis]

Hmmmm time to go thru some of my stuff again

[restive current]

The helmets that're supposed to provide armour will do so.

Like military or ballistic ones.

Just like armour vests.

[inland oasis]

I hadn’t even noticed that little bit of txt before haha

[mental rose]

There's also others that give explosion or melee resistance instead

[restive current]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

[restive current]

I probably need a modification to cheat some armour in.

Make dermal armour better.

[inland oasis]

I’ve seen a few eyewear’s that gave me netrunning type bonuses before but I figured they were like a special mission reward. Didn’t know what it depended on

[restive current]

Now, net-runner suits do that.

Not sure about eye-wear, though.

[inland oasis]

The BD headsets

They do

That’s not eyewear is it

[mental rose]

Netrunner helmets give faster quickhack upload speed

[inland oasis]

Yea I mixed that up

BD headsets are like eye level IMO. Even tho it’s headwear haha

[mental rose]

Also balaclavas are funny 😄

[inland oasis]

Lmao if only that’s how they worked irl

Rob store, put on ski mask, no one sees you

[restive current]

I mean...technically, no one sees you.

They only see your clothes. 😉

[inland oasis]

I mean imagine it in a sense like the mask makes you entirely invisible 😂

[restive current]

It does, though.

Only the eyes visible!

https://tenor.com/view/brad-pitt-ski-mask-balaclava-devils-own-gif-23925832

Total invisibility!

Compared to other headgear, I guess they're a bit stealthier

Sword Core go brr (also if someone plays this on PS and if you wanna group up lmk.)

Kingdom Hearts is as crazy of a fever dream as I remember 😅

Geknip Piracy

[strange dune]

They got some moves 🤣

[torpid lynx]

Saw Dragonforce live tonight. My retinas are probably obliterated from the strobe lights @_@

[strange dune]

Watched some gameplay of the new avatar game and it looks super fun. The scenery looks amazing and the combat looks super smooth. The combat looks like the enemies do a lot of damage, but if you are quick and smart, you can take anything out easily. But mostly the co-op multiplayer is what has me most excited about this game. I think simply exploring the map with a friend, while on your Ikran or on ground, will be super fun.

[strange dune]

Also RIP 🪦 👁️

[torpid lynx]

Rip

Show was good despite the goofiness of some of the opening bands

[primal loom]

I'm looking forward to it

[torpid lynx]

One of the dudes was wearing a Cthulhu mask and screaming into an 80s cellphone

[primal loom]

Gorgeous setting for an open world game

Lol

[torpid lynx]

I wanna try that game

[strange dune]

I am too. I just rewatched the first avatar movie and now I’m even more pumped for the game. I wonder if you can tame a Toruk though. 🤔

[primal loom]

That would be rad

I remember seeing the movie in 3D, that was a great experience

[strange dune]

Fr. The size of a Toruk is insane. Looks to be about 2x bigger than a regular Ikran.

Although maybe it is just an Ikran. But the Na’vi just gave it a different name.

Either way it is cool af.

[strange dune]

I never saw the movie in 3d but that sounds like a blast!

[primal loom]

It was, and my first 3D movie too

Blew my mind 😅

Now I'm all excited again for Frontiers of Pandora lol

[strange dune]

Yeah, I’ve already seen how incredible a game can be when it is fully optimized for next gen consoles (spider-man 2) so I am really excited for this too. However I will keep my expectations low for when it first releases, since games seem to be generally very buggy within the first week of its release, but get fixed later.

[strange dune]

Avatar?

[torpid lynx]

Yes

[strange dune]

Well if you’re playing on ps5 and looking for someone to play multiplayer with lmk! Although, I might not be on often because of school 😭

[torpid lynx]

I don’t own a ps5 unfortunately
