[thorn dawn]

Fandoms are the worst part of everything tbh

[quaint escarp]

like helldivers

[coarse swift]

Undertale fandom tbh

[shadow tartan]

So many freakshows in that community

For real

[dry copper]

Fanaticism breeds fanatics. Down with sports! Down with liking things!

[coarse swift]

Love Undertale but I've never been fond of all this AU bullshit

[obtuse reef]

Just about to say that they should be kept at the end of a cattle prod

[shadow tartan]

Some people don't realise it's satire

[dry copper]

australia?

[obtuse reef]

Like Starship Troopers

[shadow tartan]

What shit?

[coarse swift]

Alternate universe

[inland oasis]

democracy is never satirical. only sacrificial

[obtuse reef]

Yup, from what I’ve seen it is all hilariously edgy

[quaint escarp]

theres def some that dont know

[shadow tartan]

Any satire, people are dumb and don't know comedy when they see it. Then they write a manifesto...

[thorn dawn]

Fanfic is the abolute gutter of the worst side of any fandom, 9/10

[shadow tartan]

Maaaate, some of the shit I've seen

[coarse swift]

The Undertale fandom has collectively agreed on several alternate universes where they retcon each character to fit their needs. Can't stand it

[obtuse reef]

Oh boy, do I have some shit to tell you, my friend

[dry copper]

So Undertale fans are like One Piece fans

[inland oasis]

DBZ fans

[shadow tartan]

Eeeewwwwww

[coarse swift]

I don't think I've ever seen One Piece fans making an alternate universe

[thorn dawn]

Oh, I think I could share some shit with you tbh, I've been on the internet a long time

[shadow tartan]

Hold my beer

[obtuse reef]

I will not

[thorn dawn]

Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written.

[shadow tartan]

Willy Bum Bum, Willy Willy Bum Bum

[dry copper]

One Piece fans gamble on the outcome of predetermined battles and then argue until they're blue in the face, including sending death threats to the creators when fights don't go the way of their "X is going to win and here's why" thesis

[shadow tartan]

What is this new fangled sorcery?

[coarse swift]

WHY

Ffs nate

[shadow tartan]

BECAUSE ITS COMEDY GENIUS

[coarse swift]

Unlocking a 10+ year old memory I didn't need

[thorn dawn]

Was that something awful? Great regardless.

[shadow tartan]

It was amazing

[quaint escarp]

the older the game the worse the fandom becomes

[shadow tartan]

Fuck fandoms

[inland oasis]

the older the game the longer the fandom had to ...."fester"

ewww

[shadow tartan]

I give zero fucks about how fans like that feel

[dry copper]

Fucking tetris stans....

[shadow tartan]

That's gatekeeping

[thorn dawn]

There is tetris fanfic.

Just FYI

[shadow tartan]

Block on block action

They have to slot into each other right

[dry copper]

Yeah and Tetris was just beaten for the first time in over 30 years, this year

[shadow tartan]

Tetris is just one big innuendo

[shadow tartan]

Yeah that kid that Thunder knows

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/imagine-dragons-thunder-shittest-song-in-the-world-da-thunder-gif-22501564

[inland oasis]

i dont understand the beaten part. theres known frames and moves whcih will intentionally crash the game thus rendering it beaten, so wouldnt the LONGEST time before a crash be a "beaten" record? or the fastest to the crash?

i would think a longer playtime is more impressive

[dry copper]

He beat the game by way of the only metric used for its success...the score

The game crashed when the score went too high

[shadow tartan]

Kid was too much

[inland oasis]

so he avoided every other way to crash it until the inevitable crash which is impossible to go any further than?>

[quaint escarp]

theres tetris uhm "videos"

[inland oasis]

cuz i watched a docu about that

[dry copper]

Correct. It's impossible to go any higher than he went because the score going higher crashes the client.

Mind you we're talking about the original tetris and not "fixed" versions.

[thorn dawn]

tetris is fixed, heard it here first

[dry copper]

The original creators even contacted him to congratulate his achievement

"Congratulations on beating the game before we died"

lol

They were old af

[thorn dawn]

isn't the creator essentially destitute as tetris was declared state property?

[shadow tartan]

Our game

[dry copper]

Two creators...dunno but wouldn't doubt it lol

[shadow tartan]

You can try and take away the credit the kid has but it's internationally recognised

[thorn dawn]

Yes, soviet union took ownership of it

he didn't make any money until he left for the US

[inland oasis]

im not trying to take it away lmao what?

yea gimme that tetris record

mine now

[shadow tartan]

Because there's so many caveats around beating old games

Like that guy

[dry copper]

Stroke mid reading

[shadow tartan]

Billy Mitchell

[dry copper]

has stroke trying to make sense of this

[inland oasis]

i didnt understand how crashing it meant beating it because i assumed it was limitless. but once i realized that you physically cant get past where his game crashed i get it

i thought his was a crash, but you "could" get a crash further on too

[coarse swift]

I remember Regular Show making fun of him

[inland oasis]

i was wrong

[shadow tartan]

That was brilliant

Regular Show had some great episodes

[inland oasis]

billy mitchel really did it.

trigger warning

[shadow tartan]

Yeah people had to rescind

Was still funny watching it all unfold though

[inland oasis]

i watched it from the perspective of a YT karl jobsst

[shadow tartan]

It's like watching anything that's a niche obsession

[inland oasis]

which billy tried to sue

[dry copper]

I'm so confused. I was browsing the gif library for an appropriate response....and I came across something so weird I just want context on it....

[coarse swift]

Might I suggest some hydraulic press ASMR
https://youtu.be/VahKXgW2nXc?si=jirk0Aki6Z0bypNB

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/car-salesman-car-sales-billy-mays-mayz-gif-4016456784717820189

[shadow tartan]

I love all of these

And cottage core

[coarse swift]

More partial to the surface of cottage cheese myself but I get the appeal of the core

[dry copper]

Imagine going to walmart with the kind of shopping list they must get for things to crush in a hydraulic press....

$2000 for a random assortment of objects.

lol Apple getting their shit pounded in by the Department of Justice, after what they sparked with Epic.

[shadow tartan]

I still don't know if Dragon's Dogma 2 is a bad game or not though.

[coarse swift]

Unrelated but in terms of gacha games like Genshin... It could be worse

[inland oasis]

looking at you old r6 seige packs

[coarse swift]

A singleplayer online-save only with pay to win mtx is kindof a bad game

[shadow tartan]

It could be but it should still be classed under gambling

[inland oasis]

bad concept and business practice. good game

[inland oasis]

it does the "game" part fine. but its scummy

the middle section is null, its obtainable in game

[coarse swift]

I'll wait for Capcom to do a complete 180 on the practice, if that happens. Not gonna reward them with a purchase just because "at least the gameplay is good"

[inland oasis]

reasonable. cuz the other two section i also agree with wtf were they thinking

1 character dafuq

classic case of good item/game being battered and beatin into shit cuz the company shoots itself in the foot

[quaint escarp]

they wont they have been doing this for years

[mental rose]

Pay-2-win items?... in a singleplayer game...?
Whyy... 😩

[quaint escarp]

they arent pay to win

[coarse swift]

Restore dead NPCs you lost to life

[inland oasis]

such a wrong term for it

[coarse swift]

Fast travel

[inland oasis]

you can get that stuff in game by playing it

[dry copper]

Yeah it's not pay to win. It's pay to not lose.

[mental rose]

Well at least they're not charging money for save/character slots
Looking at you, Konami....

[quaint escarp]

its pay for convenience

[inland oasis]

uhhh you only get 1

period

[coarse swift]

Warframe is pay for convenience, I wouldn't say the same about DD2

[inland oasis]

XD

[quaint escarp]

the last part about save char is being worked on so you can make a new save

[inland oasis]

if i paid 10$ and suddenly credits rolled, thats pay to win

[mental rose]

I can read.
People just talking how DD2 is mtx hell and I referenced the game that took it to the next level 😄

[shadow tartan]

I think people have overreacted a bit to Dragons Dogma

[quaint escarp]

although scummy capcom is the least egregious when it comes to ingame mtx

[mental rose]

And calling Silent Hill 2 remake a Resident Evil clone doesn't inspire confidence...

[shadow tartan]

P2W doesn't count for much in a single player game as long as it's not linked to trophies/achievements.
Capcom did even shadier shit with SFIV.

[coarse swift]

To be fair, BG3 set an expectation

[quaint escarp]

elden ring too

[coarse swift]

It's a big large huge over expectation given the norm for AAA games, but still

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I kinda see that, but you know my feelings about that

Comparison in general is just ugh

[mental rose]

I was more confused than annoyed when they decided to add "unlock secret weapons" as a purchase for Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes.
I was like "Why?"

I guess it's for lazy people who don't care to 100% a game

[inland oasis]

GTA San andreas remastered, only now, you Pay a MTX to access the cheat codes

xD

activision: well fuck your hired!

[quaint escarp]

its quite sad how the performance issues are being overshadowed by optional mtx

[dry copper]

wtf is SFIV?

[shadow tartan]

Some of the people playing it for nostalgic reasons no longer have the disposable time however they do have the disposable income

[inland oasis]

i get horrid performance and i thought it was my pc but i can now rest assured it not me

[shadow tartan]

Street Fighter 4

If we're talking Capcom then SF should be self explanatory

And dodgy practices

[dry copper]

sad maybe but predictable. It's a review website and not everyone has the same issues with performance....and more have the same issues with MTX

[shadow tartan]

Making people pay for what was already on a disc

😬

[thorn dawn]

lazy people who don't care to 100% a game
get in the sea

[dry copper]

Day 1 DLC

Companies that cut content just to resell it later

[inland oasis]

dlc for EARLY ACCESS games

[shadow tartan]

Excuse me, Mr Remakeistoohard

[grand mica]

cough ||Star Citizen|| cough

[dry copper]

Don't even get me started with EA DLC...that shit is cancer

[coarse swift]

Kinda wild to forget adding the ability to start a new game on PC tho

[dry copper]

The Long Dark did Early Access DLC

[shadow tartan]

In your mind it's that simple, in my experience it's been a necessity depending on what the content is

[quaint escarp]

yeah thats an actual issue and what the focus should be on

[shadow tartan]

Credit Card Industries

[quaint escarp]

will star citizen release before elder scrolls 6

[grand mica]

Apparently they are going to release a full version, 1.0, soon. Their chairman announced.

[inland oasis]

star citizen will NEVER fully release xD

[shadow tartan]

A full beta

[dry copper]

noob saibot?

[inland oasis]

alpha, beta, no were onto charlie testing phase now

[grand mica]

Nah! This will be the official full release of the game, someday in the future (TBD).

[mental rose]

So did ARK Survival Evolved, waaaay back when

[inland oasis]

then we have delta

[thorn dawn]

How much more money do they need to make it happen?

[inland oasis]

echo, foxtrot

[quaint escarp]

100million more

[grand mica]

At least our great great great grand children will be able to enjoy the full release.

[shadow tartan]

Will have full AR games and real commercial space travel by that point

[quaint escarp]

whats the highest package you can buy in sc again

[shadow tartan]

The Chris Roberts Package

Buy my company from me

It's yours for the low low price of $600m

[inland oasis]

lemme get a small loan from my father for that

[grand mica]

lol

[coarse swift]

Dunno why it didn't occur to me this was a manga from 2000
https://youtu.be/5ZTi4kf2hbI?si=wHJYZFfbQqJqcUUa

[grand mica]

It is? Huh! Never knew.

[dry copper]

At least Ark finished and was released complete. The Long Dark isn't finished even to this day

[shadow tartan]

What's the problem with Early Access DLC?

To me that's good planning

[inland oasis]

cringe

[quaint escarp]

some saudi company will prob buy the sc company

[shadow tartan]

I need something objective though

[coarse swift]

Maybe internally, but I can leave a bad impression with the playerbase. I assume we're using ARK as an example

[shadow tartan]

Well anything really

[inland oasis]

im instantly mad if i see dlc in early access

like finish your damn homework first

[coarse swift]

Players will see "the game isn't even finished and they're already putting out dlc instead of fixing and finishing the base game?"

[inland oasis]

before extra credit

im players

[dry copper]

DLC in early access burns faith

It's a bad faith business practice

[mental rose]

In ARK's case, people got annoyed that the devs released DLC for a game that was technically in beta back then.
Maybe they were concerned the devs would just take the cash and abandon the game.
Another was that they were putting too much into expanding the game, rather than fixing what already exists.

[shadow tartan]

Do they always release the DLC before fixing the base game?

[coarse swift]

Like if you have a separate team working on dlc and they happen to get done first, cool. At least communicate that or wait till Early Access finishes before releasing, imo

[shadow tartan]

Sometimes they need money to hire people to fix complex issues

[grand mica]

I disagree. Early access usually means an unfinished product. Turning a DLC into early access means your milking your customers. It’s like a restaurant is giving you the cheese to eat at the full prize of the pizza. Early access, you will get the pizza when it’s done until then enjoy the cheese. That ain’t what we wanted.

[dry copper]

If you have a separate team working on DLC before the game is even in 1.0 and they're going to finish the DLC before 1.0, the DLC is a part of the 1.0.

That's withholding content on launch

[shadow tartan]

No

That's because your DLC has to work with the base game based on submission criteria

[grand mica]

That’s when businesses go to investors, for several rounds of fundings starting with seed fundings.

[inland oasis]

dont PUBLICLY announce dlc if your still in early access

[quaint escarp]

ark needs to sell u dlc so it will be the only game on your hard drive

[inland oasis]

i give fuck all if they work on it

[shadow tartan]

Not all of them though, some have relied on sales. I know what you mean though.

[coarse swift]

It's a bit hard to really give a full opinion on it when I'm not part of game development. I can only give what I see

[obtuse reef]

Jokes on them, I have a 1TB har- the game is how big?!

[dry copper]

Kickstarter

[shadow tartan]

That's exactly what needs to be heard

[shadow tartan]

If you have clout or luck

[dry copper]

I don't know about that. Even word of mouth marketing on a solid product can get a good kick

[grand mica]

A younger company, in game dev, may practice this and it will be legible. But a AAA game dev with AAA priced games & DLCs dishing out an unfinished, bug ridden, garbage game under the false pretense of “Early Access” is shady, bro.

Kickstarter isn’t the answer. Investors are.

[dry copper]

I can't recall which but I saw on kickstarter last week a game developer that already did a kickstarter to launch their game, launched and want to expand using kickstarter

[coarse swift]

Imo you gotta weigh in consumer view with planning development. How is the player gonna perceive this and how should I communicate it

[dry copper]

Kickstarter are investments 😛

[mental rose]

AAA doesn't even use the term. These days they're basically "release broken, fix later"

And it's frustrating

[grand mica]

Yeah.

[inland oasis]

"live service"

"WERE WORKING ON IMPLEMENTING FIXES"

woops caps

lol but it works

[shadow tartan]

Agree, Wildcard was a small outfit back then though.
I haven't seen much Early Access DLC from bigger Devs or publishers.

[dry copper]

Empty calories. Words that mean nothing.

[coarse swift]

Reminded me Wildstar was an MMO once

[inland oasis]

right next to "terms and services"

[quaint escarp]

fixing bugs is not a live service thing

[dry copper]

or "Copyright"

[shadow tartan]

Yeah some people pay for focus groups and feedback earlier in development

[inland oasis]

no but constant patching is. and whats a patch? bug fixing

[shadow tartan]

Are you talking about Bethesda?

[quaint escarp]

thats stuff u should already be doing, this is why i hate how cp2077 won an award for best continuing game

[mental rose]

Also I just checked DD2 Steam page... 39% "Mostly Negative"...
Wasn't expecting it to bomb that hard, after all the hype... did we get bamboozled?

[inland oasis]

review bombs

[mental rose]

Ah

[quaint escarp]

the loudest minority are review bombing and complaining on reddit

[shadow tartan]

Social Justice

[dry copper]

We had a focus group here from Coke Cola that wanted to sell a smaller bottle of coke. It looked like a baby bottle of coke cola. The soda didn't survive the focus group

[shadow tartan]

🤮

[quaint escarp]

apart from performance issues its a good game

[grand mica]

Bethy, Ubi, Acti, EA, Capcom, Netmarble, Tencent… all in the same boat.

[inland oasis]

the start feels EXACTLY like the first one so far imo

[dry copper]

The Titanic...Are we fantasizing rn?

[quaint escarp]

im not far yet i took way too long making my char

[inland oasis]

same i only have like an hour played

[shadow tartan]

Are they releasing Early Access DLC?

[inland oasis]

but like the first few missions u do in the first is like the same exact vibe in this

[grand mica]

I want the iceberg to appear soon, Jack and Rose have had enough time in the car.

[quaint escarp]

i have like 3 hours played in the character creation

[dry copper]

It's probably a ford anyway

[inland oasis]

having to commit to only one will do that

same with my main pawn

[quaint escarp]

nah i always take long

theres a lot of sliders

[coarse swift]

Speaking of
https://wutheringwaves.kurogame.com/m/en/news/detail/690
Using Wuthering Waves and Kuro games as an example. They've had two closed betas so far and have been incredibly receptive to feedback. The first beta had such a bad story that they rewrote 90% of it for the second beta, among other things.

[quaint escarp]

u can adjust the way you walk lol

[inland oasis]

the posture is hilarious

[mental rose]

Basically me in any RPG... spending WAY too much time in character creator.

[inland oasis]

looking like the humpback of notre dam

or macho man randy savage

[coarse swift]

Giving myself the biggest lean back possible

[mental rose]

Oh, also

[coarse swift]

I remember this

[dry copper]

I can't even play skyrim without racemenu now...because I recreate chars so much I don't wanna redo all my basic changes.

[quaint escarp]

adam edited it smh

[mental rose]

Capcom didn't cave did they? Asmongold is still in the game?

[inland oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/bernie-berney-dance-bernie-dance-berney-dance-gif-16120547

[dry copper]

Racemenu lets you save a preset

[coarse swift]

Adam wishes he edited it

[quaint escarp]

i shouldve saved my preset actually

pretty much touched every slider

[dry copper]

Use "showracemenu" and do it now

[coarse swift]

Honestly wish I could make a noseless character, would be peak

[dry copper]

There ya did it

and when she speaks that big ass jaw moves normally

[shadow tartan]

This is cool.

Money is invested in this for some games/big IPs but there is just more red tape.

[grand mica]

Some have, some haven’t.

[shadow tartan]

The Early Access release thing or DLC?

Because that Early Access stuff was bullshit and they should refund people

For that one week

I remember Minecraft, Ark and TerraTech doing it

[dry copper]

Discord is weird.

Random Discord be like "START A POLL?????"

Discord is turning into that annoying paperclip from word

[inland oasis]

wasnt that things name "clippy"? XD

[grand mica]

It was called clippy. Hehehe!

[grand mica]

I was talking about DLC, yep!

[shadow tartan]

Ewww

I just don't like any of it because you can't hold people accountable

You can hold publishers more accountable than indies though

[dry copper]

Thoughts on Humble as a publisher?

[shadow tartan]

Thank fuck I've never decided to release anything like that

[inland oasis]

Most memorable moment in dragons dogma 1 for me ^_^

[shadow tartan]

Anyone that helps market and bring indie games to light whilst making sure the developer is fairly treated is doing a good thing.

[tame cairn]

most op creature in dd2 is a fucking slime

[inland oasis]

For me the hardest boss is performance

I’m in a spot where I’m lucky to hit 17-20 fps it’s gruesome

[earnest hatch]

DD2 is so fun but the performance and microtransactions are not ok

I refunded and bought Horizon Forbidden West

That is a great pc port

it runs amazingly

[quaint escarp]

thats rare

sony releasing a pc port thats not on fire

[austere lance]

Nah, if they have Nixxes do their port it's usually solid

[earnest hatch]

Nixxes ports are great

the only one that was rough was spiderman for 2 days

But like Days Gone, SMMM, Rachet and Clank were all great

Imagine...
The Cure for Cancer....Escape gravity

[tame cairn]

PS5 runs it great

and i dont even see MTX where are they?

do i have to go out of my way to find them or something?

seems like it

been having a lot of fun with dd2 so far though

[coarse swift]

So do I play Cyberpunk on PC or console

[thorn dawn]

yes

one of those is best

[coarse swift]

A 3060 Ti with a shitty fan mod
Or a PS5

[thorn dawn]

get something better than a 3060

[coarse swift]

I have a 7800xt in rma process

And uh pair that with an r7 5800x

[thorn dawn]

What I will say is I find the mods for CP2077 whelming

they just

[earnest hatch]

you can buy resurrection stones and camps etc

[thorn dawn]

are

[coarse swift]

The appeal of modding Cyberpunk is there

Because I want to mod the boobies away

[tame cairn]

for the lazy people i guess

[coarse swift]

Get them out

[thorn dawn]

there's nothing I can think of that will transform the experience without just being comically overpowered

you can turn off boobs

[tame cairn]

all can be earned

[earnest hatch]

still

[thorn dawn]

don't need a mod for that

iirc

[tame cairn]

just dont buy it

[earnest hatch]

that is dumb also because most of the stuff is super hard to get in the game

[tame cairn]

that all probably adds to $20 anyways lol

[thorn dawn]

To turn off the nudity, players will need to be on the main menu. Players cannot turn off this option while in-game. From the main menu, head over to the settings screen and select the Gameplay tab. From here, players can turn the Nudity Censor on or off depending on their preference.

[tame cairn]

and they dont shove it in ur face

with an in game store

[earnest hatch]

even if you take that out the performance is awful

[coarse swift]

Have you encountered the part where an auto save fucks you over because it happened when you got stuck and now you have to restart the game @tame cairn

[tame cairn]

a camp is hard to get...?

i mean to each their own

[dry copper]

You can earn the art of metamorphosis?

[coarse swift]

Does this also affect the advertisements ingame

[thorn dawn]

should do

[tame cairn]

nope!

[earnest hatch]

it does

[thorn dawn]

I haven't tried it because idm boobs

[tame cairn]

doing great and like i said im enjoying it

[coarse swift]

I obviously probably can't get rid of red light districts because still

But I can finally try out Cyberpunk thru my dad

Family share

Dunno if he has the dlc tho

[thorn dawn]

the hookers are clothed

except for that one place

I bet they're blurred or something tho

[coarse swift]

Can I avoid sex scenes

[earnest hatch]

yes

[thorn dawn]

Yes

[coarse swift]

Excellent

[thorn dawn]

They're all optional

[coarse swift]

How bout this

Can I kill the strippers to spawn more aliens, like in Duke 3D?

https://tenor.com/view/duke-nukem-dukenukem-mirror-mirro-mirr-gif-1654357508241646683

[thorn dawn]

you cannot

unless you consider police aliens

[dry copper]

Famous last words before a NPC tea bags him

The future of armor?

[tame cairn]

heraldic cape from the first game but better

[inland oasis]

wait, is that your dogma 2?

did we rly both go geralt xD

urs is damn accurate, gotta say

[dry copper]

Are you seirous? That's captain America, Duh

[inland oasis]

woops, i had the wrong sunglasses on.

pretty sure i made my geralt way too tall tho. mf like 7'2 i think xD

absolute UNIT

[tame cairn]

yes

and thank you

[inland oasis]

had me thinkin it was actually the witcher game

in elden ring i got a preety "kinda" accurate Kratos, and escanor from 7 deadly sins xD

[tame cairn]

ooo escanor in this would be dope

[inland oasis]

yea cuz you can overexxaggerate body size 😄

[dry copper]

I like your princess braids

[tame cairn]

im sure geralt does too

[inland oasis]

the hair variations were all so goddamn close to 100% accurate but had like 1 little thing that made them wrong

think we picked the same one, if not yours was my second pick im pretty sure

[tame cairn]

i think we have the same

[dry copper]

It's like..."Sure, it has the undercut with the shaved sides, but I don't understand why it has built in goggles"

[inland oasis]

also wish we had more pupil options. like snake eyes etc

[tame cairn]

yeah true geralt has cat eyes

[inland oasis]

yea i just went with a yellow orange iris and bigish pupil

[austere lance]

[inland oasis]

no kids for a week!

[dry copper]

That looks like they're complaining that they couldn't go deep enough so they're not getting to home base

[thorn dawn]

there is no epic win without epic fail

[obtuse reef]

It’s not just Helldivers not getting their game on, I’m pretty sure it’s talking about everyone

[dry copper]

Oh great. Helldivers2 gunna get filled with incels

[obtuse reef]

Because we were too slow, nobody is allowed to get frisky with it

[dry copper]

😛

[quaint escarp]

hellldiver players were having sex before this?

[inland oasis]

3 days to clear 6 planets lol. screw joel

[obtuse reef]

No, but it’s the thought of it that matters

[inland oasis]

hugging my fellow helldiver is sex enuff for me

[coarse swift]

Doctors say that procreation without approval will lead to an undemocratic baby

[obtuse reef]

Everybody knows that. It’s embarrassing.

[dry copper]

At this rate I think the devs are just having meetings in the morning, talking about their days and trying to find a way of turning their every day traumas into challenges on a community level.

[dry copper]

"So, Danny has a little dick...Lets make that a plot point"

[obtuse reef]

No, because I know what you do whenever you hug someone

Especially women

[inland oasis]

ONCE.....

[obtuse reef]

…twice, it was twice my guy

We all heard about it

[inland oasis]

you think a female would hug me twice? XD pftt too much credit

[obtuse reef]

Oh no, I’m not saying it was a woman both times

[inland oasis]

a hugs a hug

https://tenor.com/view/a-wins-a-win-theo-campbell-the-challenge-world-championship-a-victory-is-a-victory-ill-take-any-win-gif-16112383496582529246

[obtuse reef]

The first one wasn’t a hug

It was a tackle

[inland oasis]

still a hug

[obtuse reef]

It wasn’t a bug, but is there another incident that I haven’t heard about?

[inland oasis]

someone make a remix of katy perrys i kissed a girl to "i hugged a bug n i liked itttt"

[obtuse reef]

Anyways, so because Mr. Doesn’t-Know-What-Contact-Is was too busy doing that with the bugs, no kids for a year.

[austere lance]

I love how close the intros are 🤣

[obtuse reef]

I hereby sentence you to five max difficulty missions on the Creek

You need to get away from those bugs man

It’s unhealthy

[inland oasis]

you havent seen me with an automaton

[austere lance]

Mans isn't allowed near Nier Automata with a ten foot pole 💀

[obtuse reef]

Would this count as “fraternization with the enemy”?

[obtuse reef]

He’s the reason the robots don’t want to get Cyberstan back, too scared of him 💀

He’s the Super-Earth PR department’s worst nightmare

[inland oasis]

yaknow how you see all those dead people mid mission that "supposedly" were killed by bugs...tho not torn apart?...well, yea, i hugged em

[obtuse reef]

My guy, you did a lot more than hug em

[inland oasis]

whyd you sit n watch?

hugdivers 2 xD

[obtuse reef]

I didn’t. The body’s more than enough to determine what happened

[shadow tartan]

There's already plenty, just like Warhammer fans

[dry copper]

I find it sick that anyone would consider themselves an incel and that these individuals exist are a really bad sign for social psychology and the integrity of communities they operate inside of. I mean, in order to adopt that title one has to either A) Blame others for not liking them and B) Feel entitled to being liked.

Worse, that there are cult followings of this toxic masculinity in the wild.

[obtuse reef]

You’re looking too far into a joke.

[dry copper]

Stop screamin at me Nietzche...I can't stop staring.

You talking to me?

[dry copper]

Was getting PTSD flashbacks of Beyond Good and Evil

"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

[obtuse reef]

Too much thinking. Me shoot robot and bug, me brain make happy juice

[quaint escarp]

read that as sweden is pissed off

[austere lance]

Close enough, lol

[dry copper]

Is based an insult?

[quaint escarp]

how do you get a whole country pissed

[shadow tartan]

No

[shadow tartan]

It's like implying someone is bold now

But he's just saying what we all think

Or have said

[shadow tartan]

Tax them

[dry copper]

Depends on the tax

[shadow tartan]

And then they throw tea into a river

[dry copper]

Mulroney added GST as Prime Minister in Canada and he was still loved.

Nearly doubled how much people had to pay in taxes

[shadow tartan]

How can you be loved for double tax

[dry copper]

Brought down inflation rapidly, stabilized the economy, lowered the cost of goods across the board

[obtuse reef]

https://tenor.com/view/goofy-trial-crazy-evil-ill-fucking-do-it-again-gif-17111514

[dry copper]

Lower cost goods, more jobs, more money to be earned

[shadow tartan]

You should have added that with the whole double tax thing

Didn't he pass recently?

[dry copper]

Yeah, his funeral is tomorrow

or today I can't remember

[shadow tartan]

Is it on TV?

[dry copper]

probably. Right now he's on view or whatever its called for people to pay their respects

Today is the last day

On the first day, it was just friends and family and the lineup of people to say their goodbuys went out of the building and around the block

[shadow tartan]

Only @thorn dawn and his mum are gonna turn up to mine

[dry copper]

In todays climate of taxation, corporations don't even bother giving a shit about the consequences of raising costs to offset taxes...like losing customers...so the government is attacking the lack of competition in the industry and funding startups aggressively

Back in Mulroneys day a company couldn't afford to piss off their customers by raising the costs because they had to pay more taxes.

They couldn't get away with saying shit like "Government sucks so, eat shit"

Trudeau is adding taxes for carbon pollution and companies are going ape shit

[inland oasis]

When your cooking cutscenes look better than the entirety of the game .... xD

[dry copper]

That's bullshit

It looks like pre-rendered video

[inland oasis]

it looks like a LIVE recording

straight up they cooked a steak n recorded it

then threw the video in

[dry copper]

i mean that too

[shadow tartan]

Does it make you hungry?

[dry copper]

I mean it doesn't look like it's in the game live.

[inland oasis]

makes me angry

[shadow tartan]

Would it make a vegan hungry?

[dry copper]

Hangry

[inland oasis]

i mean LIVE like they recorded it irl

not cgi

[dry copper]

Wait until you see the xrated adult scenes

That's really going to confuse you

"Why are there puppets?"

[shadow tartan]

Why?

[inland oasis]

cuz thats the quality the game should be

[dry copper]

You paid $90 for a game that uses video footage as game content.

Imagine you go to walk and you instead see a video of a random person walking

Go to fight and it's suddently cut footage from Bloodsport

[inland oasis]

i thought it faded to black for like a cookin minigame or something. not just a real life recording of some meat sizzlin

[shadow tartan]

If they have kebabs I'm in

[dry copper]

This ain't FF16

or 15 or whatever it was

https://tenor.com/view/ignis-ffxv-mushrooms-recipeh-gif-20410351

[shadow tartan]

Kebab shouldn't be reserved for fantasy

[dry copper]

Sorry. Can't hear you over the FANTASIES

[shadow tartan]

It's shitting on the dream if kebab doesn't feature in all games

[dry copper]

weird dream

[shadow tartan]

No

[quaint escarp]

https://hard-drive.net/hd/video-games/ability-to-review-dragons-dogma-2-now-hidden-behind-micro-transactions/

[shadow tartan]

LOL nice

🤣

[tame cairn]

this game

[inland oasis]

oh yea i love "Just cause 5"

rico looks weird here

[earnest hatch]

I meannnnnnnn wouldnt be surprised

[obtuse reef]

Wait, steam has that feature?

[earnest hatch]

Rare Capcom L

[tame cairn]

gliding in spiderman 2 is just vibes tbh

[inland oasis]

this be why they locked it. tryna keep it at the best its at for as long as they can xD

[shadow tartan]

@quaint escarp We reached out to Capcom at the time of press for further comment. But when we called, they asked for an extra $4.99 in “Capcom Crystals” for a response.

[quaint escarp]

this is a satire article btw for those that dont know what hard drive is

[inland oasis]

my fave

[earnest hatch]

I cant wait for the "Login Bonus of one extra Login!"

[shadow tartan]

Why'd you ruin it

[inland oasis]

you closed the dragons dogma 2 application? 2.99 to relaunch your .exe file 😄

[dry copper]

Congratulation, you've won! You've won, WINNING. Congratulations. Your prize is You Won! Congratulations!

[shadow tartan]

@quaint escarp if you said nothing we could have seen some better responses

[coarse swift]

You may have bought the game, but would you like to install it?
We've got a dlc for that

[obtuse reef]

Wait until they start asking you for $1 a week to keep it installed

[inland oasis]

im shocked we dont have to pay to leave a review

[quaint escarp]

the game feels great for me

[obtuse reef]

We do though

[shadow tartan]

@quaint escarp I'm about to read more about the Sweet Baby drama

[quaint escarp]

gamergate 2?

[dry copper]

Welcome to Dragons Dogma 2. This game saves your game automatically. If you wish to turn this feature off, pay me $2. Don't close the program. It won't work.
closes program and it reboots
I told you it wouldn't work. If you want it to work, pay me $2.

[shadow tartan]

Yeah

[dull tulip]

I still want to play
I just hope they consider adding more save slots :[

[shadow tartan]

They're gonna give you -1 slots

[obtuse reef]

And less microtransactions?

[quaint escarp]

they prob wont, same like the first dd which is wack

[shadow tartan]

My old housemate played Dragons Dogma way too much

[coarse swift]

"We hear players asking for more slots, and we agree. We're now adding slot machines for $1.99 per roll."

[dull tulip]

I don't care since you can earn the items in game

[inland oasis]

my heart broke a little

[dry copper]

Dragons Dogma 2 is a video game with so many MTX that shouldn't exist for basic features that one would be forgiven if they thought the game was a virus trying to scam them for installing it.

[coarse swift]

Imagine the goty potential it lost because of mtx

[tame cairn]

yawn

[earnest hatch]

honestly it probably will

[dry copper]

In two weeks you'll find out...Oh they're also selling your character profile as NFT

[earnest hatch]

also the performance is horrible

[coarse swift]

Just kill NPCs like that one article said

[tame cairn]

on pc

[inland oasis]

not exactly a pretty game, but not ugly either. but man, i had higher expectations than THIS..

[earnest hatch]

my pc commits Cyber-Suicide when I walk into a city

[earnest hatch]

Its Gerald of The River

[quaint escarp]

console?

[inland oasis]

no

[tame cairn]

definitely a pc problem because that looks not good lol

[quaint escarp]

it looks great on my pc

sounds more like pc spec prob

[tame cairn]

its great on my ps5 as well

so is the fps

[dry copper]

Time to watch something that helps build my faith in humanity for a bit

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

[inland oasis]

if the game didnt run so shitty it could look better

but even with this potato graphics i get 30 fps max

and other games i have no issue

its not specs

[tame cairn]

this is why i buy console

consistent

[quaint escarp]

did you ever upgrade

this is a new game

[inland oasis]

it still shouldnt be running this badly

when i got red dead 2 running over 60

[quaint escarp]

its poorly optimized

[inland oasis]

very

gtx 1660 i5 9400f 16g ram. nothing beefy or great, but handles alot more that i thought it was capable of

[earnest hatch]

it doesnt run much better on my amd rig 7900X3D and 6950XT

[quaint escarp]

really?

[earnest hatch]

I can run high settings

[inland oasis]

thats why i know its not a specs issue

[earnest hatch]

country side

80 fps

city 25 or lower

[shadow tartan]

I had a conversation earlier today with someone else in games about this.
You can't argue with die hard consumers though.

[inland oasis]

20-30 fps lel

[tame cairn]

i wish i could check fps on dd2, unless i can and i dont know

on ps5

[quaint escarp]

prob not

steam can

ps5 is most likely locked to 60

[tame cairn]

its fine until theres a lot on screen, like lots of magic

but otherwise its pretty consistent yea

[inland oasis]

NPC's

[earnest hatch]

its 30 uncapped

[tame cairn]

heck yea

[tame cairn]

dont need to its not a big issue

[inland oasis]

NPC's are causing cpu overload and part of the performance issues too

[tame cairn]

it's when magic is being used which only lasts for a second or two so its not bad but a bit annoying

still better than 20 fps in a town

[earnest hatch]

this is capcoms first major fumble in awhile

[tame cairn]

until the performance on pc gets fixed sure

i didnt even know there was mtx until someone said it here because its never shoved in your face and they don't have an ingame store or anything

mtx is always bad sure but it could be a LOT worse lol

[earnest hatch]

I mean still thats pretty scummy its not the worst but like why??

[tame cairn]

for lazy people

its not scummy

earn it all in game

jeez

[dry copper]

Yeah because you don't notice it until you go to change your character

[inland oasis]

as i see it id rather see more CHOICE in games than be forced to do something in a way i dont like

but i also dont like them

[tame cairn]

?

i have to go to playstations store to buy it, go pretty far out of my way to do so

[earnest hatch]

I cant wait to use my Dogma Bucks to get a restore life stone

[quaint escarp]

the pawns are the biggest performance issue so thats why its bad in towns

[inland oasis]

not needed

[tame cairn]

yawn

[inland oasis]

useless arguement

[quaint escarp]

earned in game

[dry copper]

Why is it being sold if it's earned in game?

[tame cairn]

dont buy it, its optional

lazy people

[inland oasis]

lazy people

[quaint escarp]

convenience

[tame cairn]

how many times

do i have to say it

its not telling u to buy it

[dry copper]

Give it two days and it will be available to get easy through trainers

[tame cairn]

lmaooo

[quaint escarp]

ok time to make my main pawn

[dull tulip]

Changing your looks should just be something you can do right away. I'm not gonna accept playing part way through a game with an appearance I don't enjoy.

Thankfully console players can just directly delete their save files from storage.

[inland oasis]

already is

[earnest hatch]

Im waiting for the game to get cracked and a mod menu to spawn in these items

really fuck over capcom

[earnest hatch]

niceeeeee

[dry copper]

WeMod?

[tame cairn]

why would you make a character you dont wanna use

[inland oasis]

yerp

im not risking it until the whole 1 character thing blows over if it does

but it is there

[dry copper]

Wasn't WeMod made by the same people that did Fearless Engine?

[tame cairn]

you can change your appearance in the game though

[inland oasis]

no clue lol

[tame cairn]

more than just a haircut

[inland oasis]

everything

[thorn dawn]

just buy a seond copy of the game ez

[quaint escarp]

dont think you can change ur looks in elden ring until you get into the base no?

[earnest hatch]

no you gotta buy Dogma Bucks

[inland oasis]

dogma coin

[earnest hatch]

give me all the dogma coinssss

[dry copper]

aka Dogmamas

[dull tulip]

Sometimes characters look okay in the character creator, but once you start playing something is just off. Pretty damn normal for people to create several characters before actually settling on an appearance.

[tame cairn]

just change it in game then

[dry copper]

Especially with lighting

[tame cairn]

👍

because it can be done

[quaint escarp]

the character creator has scene tests

[tame cairn]

also that

[inland oasis]

soldier geralt,

HOBO geralt

[earnest hatch]

the only things you can change in game is Hairstyle Makeup and Markings everything else is locked behind pay until later in the game

[tame cairn]

with different lighting and all

[quaint escarp]

4 different scenes and different lighting to test with

[tame cairn]

LOL

[dry copper]

I like the char creator download

[thorn dawn]

Just make the ideal specimen

[earnest hatch]

Gerald of the River Area

[dry copper]

Your Geralt looks like he'd be into Crossfit

[earnest hatch]

He loves Orange Theory

[inland oasis]

gerald of river uhhhhhhhhh

[dull tulip]

Depends on how long it actually takes to get the item. If it's something I can obtain quickly then oki doki. If I have to experience story/cutscenes beforehand. Fuck no.

Yum yum is perfect 😩

[tame cairn]

haircut place

and there

[dull tulip]

That's good

[dry copper]

She'll give you plastic surgery on the side

[earnest hatch]

you gotta pay her Dogma Coins from your Dogma Mining Rig

[dull tulip]

I'm just super obsessed with designing characters and having every scene look perfect 😩

[dry copper]

Wanna be a man? Wanna change to a woman?

[tame cairn]

understandable and they thought of that!

[shadow tartan]

Wanna just play a fucking game?

[dry copper]

UwU

[thorn dawn]

Imagine just being able to play

[earnest hatch]

no no no you gotta give me my Dogma Coins first silly boy

[shadow tartan]

Did this yesterday

[inland oasis]

playing a game while gaming ? ew no ill mtx my way through instead

[shadow tartan]

Wouldn't pass submission if you couldn't

Unless you're Bethesda

[dry copper]

Getting a playstation trophy sounds kind of like an insult

Congratulations, you got played

[earnest hatch]

You wanna change anything besides your Hair and Tattoos 5 Dogmas Pleasseeeeee

[thorn dawn]

[dull tulip]

I remade my character so many times

[earnest hatch]

Honestly the best thing about Dragons Dogma 2 is the free character creator LMAO

[dry copper]

The British would throw used tea in the water because fuck wasting tea

[shadow tartan]

@thorn dawn I didn't hunt for them like I do on other games I actually helped a few hundred people before going back to get the three I was missing that I didn't get from playing naturally

[thorn dawn]

that's how trophies should be

[earnest hatch]

agreed

[shadow tartan]

Nah they mix it with the pig slop because the fish don't deserve tea, the fish are foreign

[shadow tartan]

Some need to be extra challenging

[dry copper]

So are the british

[shadow tartan]

Damn fucking right I am

[thorn dawn]

you're challenged

[shadow tartan]

Mhm yeah sure

[dull tulip]

That's good, I've only tinkered with the lil demo creator briefly. Didn't want to get too invested atm cause I'll be in it for hours

I think my pawn will be a kitty person

[quaint escarp]

[shadow tartan]

In general though, game looks good

[dry copper]

I do have a type. Tall brunettes.

[quaint escarp]

this is default im sculpting now just wanted to show knova

[dry copper]

Taller than me

[shadow tartan]

Stay away from my type

[shadow tartan]

Aren't you 6ft

[dry copper]

No.

[shadow tartan]

Live stream it for her, cmon

[dry copper]

I do fancy red heads but they're too rare to get hooked up on as a type

I'd only be torturing myself

[thorn dawn]

I see you've never been to scotland

[inland oasis]

[dry copper]

This is true

[dull tulip]

Also I'm glad you appreciate Yum yum

well I still hope you feel better or something improves.

[dull tulip]

Can you push that person

[tame cairn]

i can pick them up and throw them off

[dull tulip]

That's amazing

[thorny python]

even better

how far?

[tame cairn]

as far as i am able

[inland oasis]

if you jump then press grab you leap ontop of people

[dull tulip]

I wish the game was co-op @coarse swift

[obtuse reef]

As far as you can trust them?

[tame cairn]

yep

[dull tulip]

I could throw you

[tame cairn]

yes

Lol

[thorny python]

how far do you trust them?

[dull tulip]

If you pick them up and throw them enough times will that teach the pawn to start randomly picking people up and throwing them

[obtuse reef]

You must be a very trusting person

[thorny python]

That's a very polite response to being thrown.

[inland oasis]

YEET

[tame cairn]

they are literal slaves

but we dont call them that

[tame cairn]

LOL

I FORGOT ABOUT AIMING

[obtuse reef]

Was this developed in the South during the 1800s?

[shadow tartan]

Wish I could go back to 2017

[tame cairn]

dont we all

also knova i was wrong about the price to change appearance

the entire face is done by buying an item from the pawn vendor

which is 500 rift crystals (earned by repairing riftstones and just randomly found)

also by your pawn getting used you gain rift crystals too

basically like the first game

[shadow tartan]

@tame cairn You, coming in here with your facts about a game you actually played and didn't just read about...pfff, I see what you're trying to do

[tame cairn]

lol

[shadow tartan]

This is what DLC should aim to achieve

[tame cairn]

this game is good i cannot be convinced otherwise

[quaint escarp]

why would anyone want to play football

[shadow tartan]

Well, I read an article and saw a video

[shadow tartan]

Why do you like breathing

Not baking a potato

[coarse swift]

So that you can whine about someone slightly grazing you in hopes of getting them a red card

[obtuse reef]

Do not say that in Britain

@dry copper Luis Suarez bit someone

[dry copper]

Happy Rage on the field. Murdering women on the dating scene

Looking for someone with a lot of meat....

[shadow tartan]

He bit a Chelsea player, can't say I'm mad at him

[dry copper]

Why would you be? You're not being bitten.

"I'm mad at you, stranger for biting this other stranger"

[inland oasis]

wow fall damage is a joke in DD2, fall more than 6 ft you basically die

[dry copper]

Fall on your face or on your feet?

[inland oasis]

your character literally starts bellyflopping if the falls any bigger than like 2 ft

[dry copper]

So....face

Meanwhile in Hell Divers 2

Superman vs flash aint even close

[dry copper]

I mean...it's a comic with writers. Whoever is written to, wins

Which comic are you referring to?

Canonically, the flash (barry allen) could beat superman in every race. See: The Flash: Rebirth #3

https://www.dc.com/comics/the-flash-rebirth-2009/the-flash-rebirth-3

God of War 50% off at GOG

I vowed myself to never get the game if the DLC never comes to PC

[tranquil glen]

thats my point flash would win at every turn

[inland oasis]

i got fukt up 😦 XD

[tranquil glen]

moment eivor actually be bad, heh

@tame cairn my pawn gave me a handshake after we beat a monster

well like a fist bump

[dull tulip]

That's so cute

[inner copper]

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2024/mar/22/rollercoaster-tycoon-at-25-its-mind-blowing-how-it-inspired-me

One of my favourite games

[tame cairn]

it's literally the best part

there's different kinds of celebrations that happen after you kill enemies

[quaint escarp]

so like the beginning is literally the same as the first lol

[coarse swift]

No way

[tame cairn]

most of this game is

just improved graphically and some gameplay improvements too

and new vocations

[glossy kestrel]

great great hopes for POE 2... https://youtu.be/MuNF-QN7k9o?si=_shzwgPDSQJKFAt0
Imagine wasting 70$ on tht Diablo 4 garbage 🤣

[dry copper]

my favorite part of poe 2 is the free form movement coupled with 360 degree control of aiming

A request that has long been made of POE 1

This is the graphic fidelity you're getting in Skyrim with mods

I got a mod yesterday that lets me steal the furniture from other peoples homes to put in mine

Including stealing from dungeons

[tranquil glen]

That looks ai gen’d so much maybe i should just get skyrim achievement enabler to play modded

[dry copper]

I don't remember getting this much dmg with a shield before...Oh right...because I used bow...shield and sword sucks

I hate that shield mitigates damage instead of flat out preventing it

If I successfully block an attack with shield, I shouldn't still get hurt

Even with max shield wall and block 100, you're capped at 85% mitigation

No wonder people always go archer mage

Mage has a 100% shield block

[dull tulip]

Gorgeous

[dry copper]

found some cool mods for adding voice over lines of the dragonborn

So you don't just read your context, but listen to a voice of your choice from a library of voices

I doubt the voice acting is great

[dull tulip]

Interesting, dunno if I'd enjoy that. I'm very picky with mods.

[dry copper]

I Listened to some of it.

Sounded almost robotic in emotion

Probably ai generated from a vocaloid

[dull tulip]

Ick

[dry copper]

I almost installed an AI just to have text convos with random npc all over the game, until I saw the file sizes

Each and every npc character that has a name is represented...and each voice library is 200 mb

There are a lot of them.

I did a rough cut of the math...Nearly 20 gigs of files just for the voices

So...I never got that

Not worth the space on the drive

or the time it would take to download and install

[dull tulip]

Sounds interesting, probably wouldn't enjoy it. I have a hard time liking anything that isn't canon to the actual game. Example, I don't like that massive settlement mod for Fallout 4

Most I can tolerate is environmental mods and tweaking of existing gameplay

[dry copper]

Even with the hipster cowboy that introduces it with a custom story that sends you all over the map to find parts?

[dull tulip]

Ick

[dry copper]

I'm considering Valhalla Combat

[austere lance]

Somebody took that redneck mech episode of Love Death & Robots, removed all the violence, and turned it into a game called Lightyear Frontier 😆

[restive tusk]

I've been interested in the coop, but is it pure sandbox? you just farm, build and expand?
I'd be ok with that, but it would need something else to do in the gameplay loop for my more goal-oriented coop friends

[nocturne pagoda]

The only objective I need. “FIND YOUR MECH”

[pure zinc]

Idk how not that many people know about the game let it die

It’s basically like a free dark souls game

It’s also a super unique game

[pure zinc]

And you can be a frog

[edgy viper]

10/10 🐸

[silver sparrow]

Yes but are you playing it yet

[silver sparrow]

There’s a standard lot and skill progression, there may be an endgame but I’m not sure

[austere lance]

Yep, lol

[silver sparrow]

i like how you can hoard resources and still move, just not run
like in TLD

[inland oasis]

take THAT ya lil bastard! xD

"one of us has been drenched" lmao i just caught that.

[broken prairie]

DD2 looks pretty ass ngl

[tame cairn]

💀

well

its pretty fun

[tame cairn]

holy

is that your fps?

[inland oasis]

16-20 most times. its so damn bad

graphics at minimum too

shit so poorly optimized

[tame cairn]

there is a goal yes

[tame cairn]

thats crazy

[inland oasis]

gtx 1660 and i5 9400f aint BEEFY but it should struggle THIS hard when i can get 55-60 in RDR2, or 90 in destiny 2, etc etc for many games

[pure zinc]

Dragons dogma 2 looks like it needs the payday 3 treatment for a bit

[inland oasis]

imo optimization is all it rly needs.

im starting to fall in love already but this choppiness is making it hard

and cant recommend cuz of it

[tame cairn]

agreed, but on ps5 its fine
though i wonder why they wouldnt put in a graphic mode and a performance mode

[inland oasis]

they do

but if i use it its incredibly ugly
