one game that had my fave bike physics that wasnt only about bikes was "The crew" the game itself was mediocre imo, but they did bikes amazing

then you got the games like RIDE 1-3 specifically about motoGP, they got great physics too obviously

Kinda weird that First Descendant looks like the type of game id want to play but it hasn't grabbed me at all

For starters it's another AAA high graphics game and those haven't been doing well lately
But I'm also getting vibes that it's like trying to mix Anthem with Outriders

While having the fx flashiness that Forspoken was going for

I mean at least it doesn't look like Fortnite but idunno

Saw a few recent posts about it

So the Stellaris player can hopefully find fellow Stellaris fans to play with

[tame cairn]

wow

ubisoft showed ac shadows gameplay, looked fun

Naoe will be super fun it looks like

[fleet moat]

Another place that may be worth pinging is #game-night ... need the respective pingable role from #roles

If you check this channel history tho, you can check who's played it in recent days too, in case you wanna check with thems

[fleet moat]

Nice. I still need to check the video

[tame cairn]

i was just about to send it lol

https://youtu.be/FjAzNpMYTxw?si=boMu1yIDHqMMdTmg

stealth is always more fun so she will definitely be my main choice
but yasuke will probably be fun when played

the citizens move out of the way and bow when Yasuke walks by, its neat

[austere lance]

I haven't watched the gameplay yet, is there unholy amounts of level grinding before you can one-hit assassinate enemies like in the last three games 😆

[mental rose]

Blech... I want that game to fail so badly... 😒

[fleet moat]

Thank you for sharing it I always enjoy the AC games. So beautiful the cherry blossom trees...sigh

[fleet moat]

You must be so fun at parties

[tame cairn]

there wasnt in valhalla but uh no there isnt im pretty sure, didnt see any levels

also kunai one shot enemies if its a headshot

there's also hiding in shadows, taking out lanterns/braziers

[dry copper]

Do the NPC notice dead bodies this time?

[tame cairn]

do they not?

[dry copper]

That was the question

[tame cairn]

think they have since the first ac but i dont play the new ones enough

i imagine they do lmao?

theres also dragging/grabbing enemies like hitman with the fiber wire

[fleet moat]

I do like that feature

I hide them all

When you just want to take a nap in the water

[grand mica]

LOL! Did they get freed from the shackles of Sony, or what? I’m hearing a lot of positive about Bungie lately. Especially related to D2.

[dry copper]

Doubt it

https://www.pcgamer.com/sony-isnt-happy-with-bungie-playstation-boss-wants-more-accountability-from-the-studio-on-money-and-deadlines/

Sony just slapped em around a bit and told em get their shit together

[grand mica]

Damn!

[mental rose]

Was Bungie actually lazy, or did Sony tell them to crunch is what I wanna know.

[twin charm]

Naw they're still owner by them

[dry copper]

If this launch doesn't pay off, they expect a second wave of layoffs

So lets say....They're motivated

[twin charm]

Bungie can do good things

When they're backed into a corner

[mental rose]

So that would be crunch then

[twin charm]

I think this is the first time in years, where the Destiny community is actually in a good spot

[grand mica]

From the article it looks like Sony asked Bungie to get it together or get assimilated.

[dry copper]

I wouldn't be surprised if they failed to make this launch successful, Sony stepped in a took out a leader

Before they could gut their talent and blame them for the failure

Bungie really fucked up with their last lay offs

[twin charm]

Yeah Bungie has a very strong history of cucking their devs

[mental rose]

And "asssimilated" from my understanding means shutting the studio down and employees getting integrated in to Sony.
So, noy bueno

[grand mica]

Lately I’ve been hearing a great deal positive about Destiny 2. Bungie is made popular because of that game, I don’t think they would want to mess it up once more.

[twin charm]

They would NOT shut down bungie

[dry copper]

One can only blame the talent for so long before the managers are the problem

[twin charm]

But there would be more sony involvement

[dry copper]

They'd just remove a high level bungie exec

[twin charm]

I don't think the devs were at fault for alot of the downfall tbh

[dry copper]

Make them the scape goat

[twin charm]

There def were some gameplay changes

[grand mica]

No, they won’t shut down Bungie but they will take away the “financial independence”, the main pivot of the 2022 acquisition which allowed Bungie to stay as an independent subsidiary of Sony.

[twin charm]

That were like

Erm

What the flip bungie

[coarse swift]

Tbh it's rather unfortunate Final Shape did so well imo, Sony should've kicked Pete Parsons to the curb after everything that happened with layoffs

[dry copper]

It's not too late

[coarse swift]

Pete's gonna do another layoff round later and continue keeping his bonus

[dry copper]

Sony have higher expectations than "Doing well"

[grand mica]

Recently Bungie laid off almost half of the studio, revenue in this quarter was almost 50% less than expected so Sony’s CEO is kinda pissed.

[grand mica]

Precisely.

[mental rose]

Heh... I actually played a bit of D2 trial mode, back when it was still on Blizzard's launcher.
Had to reinstall windows because I couldn't remove the damn game when it was delisted there....

Played through the tutorial, then got bored

[grand mica]

I don’t understand why Sony is playing the “safeguard” game here.

[coarse swift]

This hit veterans and Michael Salvatori too, which made 0 sense

[twin charm]

Omfg

Dude

I got angry when they laid him off

[coarse swift]

Considering the Helldivers fiasco, I'm not sure what's going thru Sony's head

[dry copper]

If Bungie makes a spectacle of layoffs again, I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony step in and try to win back some of their bad reputation for what they did to Helldivers 2, by cutting a villain in the bungie family and stopping the talent being laid off

[twin charm]

He's been working with Bungie since 2000

Bro made halo 1-3 soundtrack

[grand mica]

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is actually a hint at a major shift in Sony’s top brass even.

[tame cairn]

For whatever the F reason

Ghost of Tsushima too right?

[mental rose]

ONLY for the multiplayer, in that case

[grand mica]

Assassin’s creed?

[tame cairn]

yup

abstergo animus

[mental rose]

Though you still can't buy it in the 177 countries that don't have access to PSN 😄

[coarse swift]

Sony just trying to inflate their account numbers by alienating several countries from playing, don't worry there's surely a method to their madness

[dry copper]

Ragnarok PC September 19th?

That will be when I play God of War finally

[grand mica]

Oh, bringing back the old one? Or still playing the main villains?

[tame cairn]

pretty sure the last time an abstergo animus was used was rogue yea
but i BELIEVE there wont be any modern day in Shadows

but it obviously ties into Shadows, like AC Unity had no modern day, but it was still kinda there?

[grand mica]

I might buy ac shadow, because Japanese theme 😄

[tame cairn]

theres guns in every ac tho so its nothing new

since ac2

[thorny python]

walks in with an arquebus

sweating profusely

[mental rose]

I don't even know why I care...
I just find it funny Ubislop calls the game "historically accurate" while getting facts outright wrong.
Like the architecture, for example

Guns in Feudal Japan? Yes, they did exist.
But ONLY matchlocks, for 300 years. While rest of the world got flintlocks, and later wheellocks

[thorny python]

I wonder what the US would be like if the second amendment said everyone had the right to bare flintlocks.

[tame cairn]

when did they even say this lol

its never been historically accurate

not since the first game

i think thats just people not knowing what theyre talking about or people just making things up for baseless hate

shot 5 times, point blank, and just caught some zombies on fire

im kinda of sick of these games, especially after the disappointment back 4 blood

[inland oasis]

ive played the KF series. not bad, not great either imo. never enjoyed wave based games either tbh. but if you enjoy the classic COD zombies, KF games are an upgrade from that IMO

It even says selective breeding like the more advanced civilization was a bunch of racist eugenics nuts

[mental rose]

Found it. They're immigrants from these guys.
I had to go through every empire that I had immigration treaty with

[tame cairn]

idk

i played a bit of 2

i still like cod zombies more

simply for the easter eggs

more so the older ones

[inland oasis]

The older zombies were deff better than KF. I’m talking in today’s zombies vs KF, I’d prolly go KF. COD zombies nowadays I just… idek what it is anymore

[tame cairn]

im only really worried about black ops zombies which has always been the case for me

but i agree

modern warfare and vanguard zombies is an abomination

bo6 looks neat tho

[inland oasis]

Isn’t it like fuckin open world now or something?

[tame cairn]

might, just might get that

[tame cairn]

yea

[inland oasis]

Ugh…. Old me may of loved that

[tame cairn]

and vanguard isnt round based, i cant remember what it is cuz i chose to forget about that game

its bad though

[tame cairn]

it couldve been good if it wasnt just a piece of a warzone map

i did all of the cold war easter eggs lol

thats really all i did with that game, a bit of multiplayer but nothing much

I’m so freaking excited. I want to play through all the games again right now

[coarse swift]

I want this to be good but man is the internet tearing it apart.

[restive tusk]

ignore all narratives

[coarse swift]

Watching it myself: the aesthetic still looks like Dragon Age so I'm not really bothered by that, but the combat does need work.
Rook does a ton of flashy showy movement for attacks while Varric and Harding just sit back n shoot occasionally, while the enemies watch you kill them and do one attack
Pride Demon finally did something more but why'd it eat a ton of neon

[restive tusk]

yea the bow combat seemed a little off to me

[dry copper]

Sims 4 has pets.

[inland oasis]

has them or was specifically about them?

[dry copper]

I don't dislike sims 4...I just...it wasn't worth what it cost

There is a pack called Horse Ranch if you want bigger animals and then there's "Cats and Dogs" which adds smaller family pets

There was also a free gerbil addon iirc

gerbil or hamster

It was supposed to tease the cats and dogs dlc

My favorite DLC was the rent one

You could build a apartment complex and rent out rooms

but again....way too expensive

Before the stock split the shares were $1,210. After, $120

What set NMS apart from other games with crafting, for me...The sense of promise. Like you think of something to do and you can probably do it with the right materials.

A lot of games put everything on rails

NMS gives you the tools and says...Go break shit

This might be a good one too

Still in early access, however

I tried the demo and it was very promising, what's there is quite polished

[dry copper]

Is the frontier map big?

Or is it proc gen?

[primal loom]

Handcrafted map, pretty good size but not giant

[dry copper]

This looks interesting

Thanks for the suggestions guys 🙂

[primal loom]

The mech controls are fun, parts are modular and you can swap em out for different jobs pretty easily

[dry copper]

I appreciate stylized games.

[primal loom]

Same

[dry copper]

I find them easier to get immersed in

[primal loom]

Less uncanny valley

They usually age better too

[dry copper]

Yeah because they aren't tethered to industry standards

Polygon counts

I really like the way the game Forever Winter is being developed.

You scavenge in a battle field amidst overwhelming odds thinking the whole time that you're a threat only to be overlooked by everyone as a peasant amongst the royalty of war.

[mental rose]

Ok, this is interesting
The Kingdom Hearts games are launching today on Steam

[primal loom]

At long last

[mental rose]

Gonna wait for reviews, see if these remastered ports are actually good

And Monster Hunter Stories remastered is launching in 20h

[dry copper]

I am so cheap

I could have had a 4060 today but it was so expensive I talked myself out of it.

[primal loom]

I've played the 1.5+2.5 Remix on the Epic Store

[restive tusk]

smart

wait a few months

[primal loom]

I had to fiddle with a couple settings but ran smoothly afterwards

It was finicky with borderless windowed iirc

[mental rose]

What is that label even?
I'm a simple man, I only remember there was KH 1, 2 and 3 😄

[primal loom]

Lol

[mental rose]

And a gameboy advance spinoff

[hasty sparrow]

I spent a fair bit of money building my personal dream computer, and justified it by saying to myself that I'm going to be using this machine for the next decade at least

[primal loom]

1.5+2.5 is the very confusing name they gave the remix versions for 1 and 2

[dry copper]

My thoughts were simply: I can get a 4060 for $450 after taxes, with delivery...Or I can save my money and get a PC built with an i7 14500F and a 4060 combined for about $1000

[hasty sparrow]

that was a few years ago, still goin strong

[primal loom]

There are so many now lol

The naming conventions only get worse

[dry copper]

Nvidia are working on the 50 model GPU chipsets now

[inland oasis]

Nvidia is doing crazy things

In a good way

Blackwell

Though kinda useless to gamers still cool

[dry copper]

They split their stock on monday so that any hairy berry can buy it now at about $125

[hasty sparrow]

The only reason I didn't choose Nvidia is because I'm a Linux kinda guy, and generally speaking Nvidia hardware doesn't play well with Linux

meanwhile AMD GPU drivers are open source and part of linux kernel, work perfectly every time

[dry copper]

Meaning anyone who already had stock in Nvidia now has 10 shares for every single share they owned.

[mental rose]

Ohh, I see now. It actually has 6 games and includes the prequel game and the spinoffs.

[dry copper]

Microsoft is probably the reason they felt bold enough they could get away with doing that

Microsoft owns 49% of the shares.

It's a safety net

[inland oasis]

Trying to innovate beyond Blackwell is going to be impressive

[primal loom]

Ye, though 358/2 Days (Very good Nintendo DS game) and Re:coded (meh) only have the cutscenes, not actual game ports

[dry copper]

I was looking up the specs on the 4060...Surprised. It performs better than the 3060 AND it has lower voltage.

[restive tusk]

Im waiting for that to see if ill invest in a 40 series finally.

[dry copper]

The lower voltage sold me.

Lower voltage, less heat, better performance....

Longer life

[inland oasis]

More efficiency always helps

[dry copper]

My chief concern with any build is the thermals

[restive tusk]

i think there's other factors that go into it.
Your lower voltage device could still be drawing more power than a higher voltage device

[dry copper]

The world isn't getting cooler.

[restive tusk]

Ohm's Law and all

[inland oasis]

Higher wattage less voltage

[dry copper]

really?

If higher watts is less voltage, then the 4060ti is even better than the 4060

but it costs an extra $100

[inland oasis]

Idek how it all converts tbh. They say it draws less power so to me less is less. Lol idk how it’d be more

[restive tusk]

If it draws less power (Watts), that may be precisely cause it's working higher voltages

But im not even an electrician :x
only know the basics and the Ohm's law lol

[inland oasis]

So then how would something with less voltage draw more then something with less?

Or a lower voltage device draw more than a higher voltage I mean

[dry copper]

The difference between watts and volts, isn't that like comparing water flow with water pressure?

[restive tusk]

hmm it all depends on how its being used.
The relationship is between Watts, Volts, and Amps

[inland oasis]

But this is also a GPU not a power supply

[restive tusk]

for example Power draw ( W = V * I )

volts multipled by amps

[restive tusk]

yea exactly.. xD a lot more goes into it, we're simplifying

better follow whatever the experts say on reviews

[inland oasis]

The experts say it draws less power 🤨😅😂

[restive tusk]

they say 40 series draws less power?

then hell there we go

I was in the context of Malarky talking about operating lower voltages

[inland oasis]

4060 > 3060. 3060 had higher voltages

Is what I’m basing it off of

Less voltage yet more power

[restive tusk]

fo sho. but we only have one of the values on the equation in that statement

[dry copper]

It's weird. Very few sites will tell you thermals of GPUs running under load.

[restive tusk]

aahhh ok that makes more sense

that's likely because the current has been increased

so operating at lower voltages, yet drawing more current

resulting in more Power draw

[inland oasis]

So is that more amps, watts, or kajiggermawhats?

[restive tusk]

Power draw = more watts

current(I) = amps

[inland oasis]

What throws me off is power supplies are rated in watts lol

[restive tusk]

thats how we usually measure power comsumption :/

it all gets a bit confusing though yea

[dry copper]

Is 100w enough power on a PSU to run everything on a MOBO save for the CPU and GPU? I'm on a test site saying I need at least 500w to operate a 4060ti, and I have a 600w.

[restive tusk]

i would go with at least 750 if i was to switch to a 40 series 🤔

[inland oasis]

4060s take like a 1000watt psu alone

😂

To be safe

[primal loom]

Consider peripherals also

[restive tusk]

exactly

[dry copper]

Uh. The specs say it's a 165w card

[restive tusk]

wha?

never

typo, user input error maybe

[inland oasis]

Your biggest power suction will be your gfx card. If that’s at least 700 get a 1000 watt psu MINIMUM

You’ll always want a safety buffer

[restive tusk]

Actually, i think Newegg still has their good old power calculator where you can put in exact specs @dry copper

take whatever it gives you, and add a bit more for extras, and for safety

[dry copper]

Left side 4060ti right side 4060

[restive tusk]

The thing with hitting power limit, is that sometimes it will start giving you errors at software level, that you take a while to realize it's the GPU beiing underpowered

[dry copper]

That's from Nvidia

[restive tusk]

i would only look at the 'required' system power

the others, im not sure what they mean

read the bottom legend

number 6, 7

[inland oasis]

Worst comes to worst shove a metal rod in the electrical lines and feed that to the pc. Should be aight

No such thing as TOO much power

Right….?

[dry copper]

More power from the PSU will create a lot more heat

[restive tusk]

you'd never get away with say 200 w psu to power that card.
Really unsure what they mean by that.

[dry copper]

I'm surprised that there haven't been created professional PSU specific coolers

[mental rose]

PSU with watts to spare will have less stress ie. less heat

[inland oasis]

The key to defeating that is good “flow” not just a ton of fans, but it circulating properly even

[restive tusk]

PSUs do have coolers too

[inland oasis]

[mental rose]

Well anyway, I have a 1000W PSU to feed my 3090 and have no issues.

[dry copper]

[restive tusk]

What does new egg calculator say ?

probably recommends at least 750

depending on cpu

and that's minimum

[mental rose]

Mine has what's called semi-modular cables, and let me tell you, it was a PAIN to reconnect them all 😅

[primal loom]

It's got to be old egg by now

[dry copper]

I'd want fully modular.

[restive tusk]

this chat is on a roll

[dry copper]

I don't use newegg. It says I need to sign in to doodad and I have no newegg account.

[inland oasis]

Wonder if neweggs hard boiled

[dry copper]

I used whatpsu dot com

[restive tusk]

you really don't need to sign in

hmm

[dry copper]

Its hilarious all the psu recommended for this cpu and gpu config are 500w

Oop I see a 550

[restive tusk]

minimum estimate with a I7 14th gen 2 sticks, and a aorus elite

add to that margin for more periphals and safety

[dry copper]

What parts are those?

[restive tusk]

you wanna go over the 500

like i said personally i'd do 750

[restive tusk]

i7 14700K, and your 4060

[dry copper]

ah

[restive tusk]

actually, this is the 8GB one

[dry copper]

I'm currently on an i5 11600k.

[restive tusk]

isn't there one with more vRAM

[dry copper]

The i7 is what I want to upgrade to

More threaaaaads

[restive tusk]

the next time i buy a GPU i want more than 8GB.

[dry copper]

Why? Isn't system ram more valuable than gpu?

[restive tusk]

2024 games already starting to require minimum 8GB to run smooth

ultra textures and draw distances yea

[primal loom]

VRAM requirements getting heavy these days

[restive tusk]

They are

i noticed it more specially this year

[dry copper]

The ti has a 16 gig option

Don't know if the 4060 has one

[restive tusk]

I mean im already running an 8GB gpu right now.
I would def weant to go higher next purchase

[mental rose]

Something I learned from my friends in the PC space. The amount of VRAM is not AS important as it's speed

[restive tusk]

that is an important note too

[inland oasis]

I hate how with mine anything I wanna upgrade now from this point on I’m better off getting a diff pc. Cuz for me to upgrade with certain parts, I’d need to change and upgrade other additional parts. To the point where yea I might as well build a new one

[restive tusk]

but with the recent stuff coming out and upscaled textures, its been nuts

[inland oasis]

12K gaming.

Lmao

ALL the fidelity

[mental rose]

If you need to replace MB because the CPU socket is old or smth, you might as well build a new one, imo.

[dry copper]

If one uses DLSS they're using ray tracing, right?

[inland oasis]

It’s Moreso that, if I want a new GPU I need a new PSU, if I want any more SSD’s I need a new MOBO. Etc etc lmao

Just a pain and hassle

[mental rose]

Deep Learning Super Sampling. Pretty sure it has nothing to do with ray-tracing

[inland oasis]

DLSS is frame generation

Ray tracing is light simulation iirc

And reflections

[dry copper]

There is one reprieve. Windows 10 and Windows 11 can be reactivated without needing to be reinstalled when transferring the HDD to a new system now

Or SSD whatever...same deal

[inland oasis]

I’ve never once activated a pc. Always just had them ready to go when I got em 😅

[dry copper]

Windows got an update that now lets you recognize new motherboards without needing a new copy

[inland oasis]

Idk the first thing about all that windows, having a key etc bs. I turn it on and it works 😅 that’s all I know

[dry copper]

You can register it to an email address and keep the key across multiple systems...

even install it on upto 3

If you swap to a new motherboard, it asks how many systems you've used the windows key on. You say 1 because technically you're not reinstalling it.

You're just moving it

[inland oasis]

I don’t even want it asking me nothing lol

I’d have it built for me

I’m to sweaty non steady handed to try myself.

[restive tusk]

And that's fine.
Idk why there is this systematic belief that if you're a PC user / gamer, you have to learn all about the tech stuff

As things get progressively more complex, it's only normal that majority of people gravitate towards a plug n play experience

Tbh, it's one criteria that draws a lot of console users away from switching to a PC

[inland oasis]

I know everything I need to know I just don’t trust myself to be around expensive parts like that. I’m prone to making mistakes often. And those would be expensive ones

Hell I get scared shoving sticks of RAM in

I even did it wrong

I didn’t know I had to hear a “click”

[restive tusk]

right. and majority of the time, you're not really paying much more for having a pc built for you, if a t all

[inland oasis]

So I never seated them right even tho I felt like I shoved those things in hella hard

[restive tusk]

and if it gets messed up or damage, the cost is on them xD

no hassle for you

[inland oasis]

Had a minor panic attack cuz I couldn’t get my pc to boot since it had no RAM since it didn’t seat right

If that happened with a 1000$ GPU

I’d cry

[restive tusk]

[inland oasis]

And break something

Then cry again

Super Samples
Super samples now spawn on difficulty 6. The reason for this change is that we feel that their existence only on difficulty 7+ forced some players to play the game on a harder difficulty than they wanted to comfortably play on. We do however still want a gating of them but a less punishing one.

It's unfortunate because I honestly think it was a good game. It probably would've made more profit in sales being sold for like $40.

and $40 is fair

I mean, for a game one expects is largely bug free after all this time, remastered with improved graphics

With a fully realized plot and IP everyone recognizes

ahh "This war of Mine"... never heard of it but ima check it out 👍

[dry copper]

TWOM is a game experience that puts you through the torturous situation of trying to survive in a suburb in the middle of an active war. The game forces you to try and balance the sanity of your survivors which is directly impacted by your decisions in how to scavenge for food/meds, with your supplies required to keep them alive. Coupled with a lot of narrative decisions that let you try and build up a small community, the one thing this game nails home with its gameplay cycle is how hopeless being a victim of war truly feels.

This game was based on the real living conditions of survivors in Bosnia during the Siege of Sarajevo from 1992-1996.

Ubisoft sent free AC Shadows statues to Japanese streamers, only they didn't even do basic research to get the details right. So now Japan is roasting them. 😄

[dry copper]

Isn't Kanji a chinese thing?

oh nm I googled it.

Kind of sad that the japanese would be roasting anyone for misrepresenting kanji, given their own history with kanji

It would be like a Quebec person criticizing someone for their French. Given how bastardized french is in Quebec, it's a rich level of hypocrisy.

[dry copper]

Asmongold is full of shit. He's playing the virtue signal card on a company that has neither the intelligence or the motivation to appropriate anything for the purpose of virtue signaling. It's one thing to be ignorant of a cultures nuances and it would be fair to criticize Ubisoft for that, but to suggest they are both ignorant and intelligent about the exact same thing is a contradiction.

Ubisoft are greedy. They aren't malicious.

We can call anything virtue signaling if we don't care about motivation or context.

In all honesty there was no way that Ubisoft could have made this game perfectly. If they are smart, they will fix the bugs, but that is what they are; bugs.

I wish they'd killed the AC franchise long ago and let the fans who bitch about no more AC being made suffer for their hubris.

Nov 15

[dry copper]

Plenty of time for them to fix bugs.

[grand mica]

Yeah! The game needs a lot of polish but it’s early in development.

Crazy concept for PC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3GKe7eXbPE

It's a little fricken ENORMOUS

Unfortunately they don't do proper airflow tests to get an idea of its functionality

The performance they are giving in the test could as easily be the watercoolers installed as the whole bellow system

They'd have to turn off the airflow to see if there's a decrease in thermals.

Doesn't beat the moldy cheese PC !

[tame cairn]

this video is so cringey holy

i hate asmongold more every day

its not white people trying to "do minorities a favor" by making a game taking place in their country

its multiple people from multiple backgrounds making an ac game

asmongold is so terrible

i dont understand why people genuinely care about a guy that doesnt even do simple shit like clean his room

or eat fruit?

like wtf 😂

[inland oasis]

hes like, hard to like but hard to hate for me. he makes logical points "sometimes" and i genuinely find his shit humor funny. the intentional cringe sometimes. but at the same time i cant stand when hes used as a reference because hes so unproffesional at the same time lmao

hes humble af. if i had millions id still live practically the same also i believe

only comfortably

[tame cairn]

obviously not

how is making an ac game "doing minorities a favor"??

[inland oasis]

money doesnt change everyone... lol

[tame cairn]

😂

[inland oasis]

i mean i imagine hes trying to say its about inclusivity

[tame cairn]

its not though

[inland oasis]

i didnt watch his review tho so

[tame cairn]

asmongold is a cringe rage baiter

thats all he is

he doesnt even clean his ROOM!

😭

[inland oasis]

not wrong. and its intentional too at times

[tame cairn]

not very humble.

[inland oasis]

humble doesnt mean clean?

[tame cairn]

hes not a humble guy

please dont say that

[inland oasis]

the fact hes not bragging about the money he makes or putting it in people faces is kinda humble

[tame cairn]

hes literally a rage baiter that says outlandish shit and drones follow him

[inland oasis]

again, alot of his "stream" is part of a character too

[tame cairn]

thats not a character

[inland oasis]

have you met him irl?

[tame cairn]

he genuinely believes an AC Japan game is doing favors for minorities

please stop trying to defend an idiot

🫠

its simply a game

"why dont they do a black guy in africa" like so many people have said this since this trailer dropped
and its funny cuz they've already had one

its not doing anything for minorities nor was it supposed to

its just a fucking video game

[tame cairn]

bayek is awesome

[restive tusk]

😬 we still discussing Asmon's hot takes?? lol

[tame cairn]

i kinda just joined in and i just dont understand why people would even listen to a guy who doesnt even do basic human necessities

lmao

[inland oasis]

cuz it aint that deep and the dudes genuinely funny at times

[tame cairn]

right..

[inland oasis]

you may not find it that way but thats fine

[restive tusk]

he's funny half the time.
hot takes 30%. bad takes 10%.
makes good points 20%

[tame cairn]

indeed it is

i've never heard him make a good point

[inland oasis]

whats the other 40% XD

[restive tusk]

ehh..

[tame cairn]

rage bait

[restive tusk]

uhhh...

yes

[inland oasis]

when he ranted about hot tub bath streams

i was all for him

[tame cairn]

probably loves those

[restive tusk]

hehe

[tame cairn]

wouldnt be suprised

[inland oasis]

he was against it?

[tame cairn]

right

[inland oasis]

i mean idk what to tell you other than check it out

[tame cairn]

nah

[inland oasis]

then its just denial

[tame cairn]

homie doesnt even clean his room

he'll get no views from me

[restive tusk]

Don't let asmond upset you that much. 😄
dude's alright. I just wish he did more reasearched and measured his takes before recording

[tame cairn]

he never does

he sees something then acts on it

and all his fellow non-room cleaners jump on it

omg they made ac shadows to be woke !!!

[inland oasis]

its almost like its personal

[tame cairn]

its just cringe

they use rage bait to make people hate on something

he does it all the time

lmao

[inland oasis]

if its so cringe dont watch it

[tame cairn]

i dont

i just said that

smh

[inland oasis]

then why waste breath complaining

[tame cairn]

because i can

[inland oasis]

[tame cairn]

i wanted to rant

[restive tusk]

don't give him publicity :p

@tame cairn you were excited for the new AC right?

[tame cairn]

i'm a bit of both, excited and worried

[restive tusk]

well who wouldn't be

im excited for SW outlaws, and extremely scared at the same time

[inland oasis]

still waiting for one more gta6 twailer 😦

[tame cairn]

On one hand, open world SW
on the other, Ubisoft is handling it

[restive tusk]

😔

[inland oasis]

i wonder how badly gta6 is gonna break the gaming population lmao

[tame cairn]

when it gets closer

[restive tusk]

mate i bet in this day and age, even rockstar and the so anticipated gta 6 is gonna be a flop of a launch initially

that's just the times we live in

[inland oasis]

that was a motto for an EA game i used to play. lmao "soon TM" and "when its done"

[tame cairn]

they usually like to wait until its almost done to reveal more

[inland oasis]

ehhh idk rockstar has NO excuse

if they flop

sheesh

[restive tusk]

[tame cairn]

i doubt it would flop lol

even if the story isnt good

[inland oasis]

even if it did, the public outcry of how amazing it is would cover it

that its finally here

[restive tusk]

not flop like starfield levels bad launch.
But there's gonna be too much expectancy

[tame cairn]

yea

[restive tusk]

something wont go the way half the fans want

[inland oasis]

i genuinely dont think it can fail

[wide anvil]

Whos ready for no mans sky 2

[inland oasis]

too much anticipation

[tame cairn]

usually they wait until the year before release to show more

[grand mica]

Wait, minority who?

[inland oasis]

like if it fails they have to TRY to make it fail

[restive tusk]

yea def not fail.
Just saying that first week might be a bit controversial

[tame cairn]

god knows, i didnt care to look any further

no matter who he speaks about it doesnt do anything for them

its just an ac game

[restive tusk]

It won't be like back in 2013 with GTA 5 launch and people lining up outside stores all week

[inland oasis]

did gtaV even have a bad launch? too far back to remember but i dont remember being mad about it. i loved it

[grand mica]

That statement is dumb, lol. Minority?

[tame cairn]

most rockstar games look better than trailers do too

same with gtaV

[grand mica]

This is why I don’t like that dude.

[tame cairn]

very

[inland oasis]

arent there cutscenes rendered in game anyways?

not cutscenes

cinematics

[grand mica]

They aren’t “educated”, maybe they are literates but they aren’t flipping educated at all.

[restive tusk]

called realtime cutscenes yea

[tame cairn]

probably, i know rdr2 was

[inland oasis]

i mean like the trailers

not in game cutscenes

[restive tusk]

This is why we can do amazing silly crap wioth RDR2 cutscenes and GTA 5

ah

not sure the trailer was fully rendered in game

[inland oasis]

i believe they bragged about even there trailers being rendered in the in game engine or something

[restive tusk]

or a stage render

[inland oasis]

i swear

maybe not

[tame cairn]

i mean, it looks a lot like it

[restive tusk]

yes rendered with in game engine a bit different than actual rendered in game

[tame cairn]

and rdr2 looked better than all its trailers on release

[inland oasis]

we havent seen gameplay yet have we? like officially? not the leaked stuff

[tame cairn]

nope

[restive tusk]

But it does look you can expect pretty photo realistic graphics

[inland oasis]

it must be so hard being a rockstar dev working on it. like you have to have that part of your life so secretive and locked away

[tame cairn]

rockstar are great for that though

[inland oasis]

"how was work honey?"

SHUT UP YOU KNOW I CANT SPEAK OF THIS

[tame cairn]

like imagine being Arthur and having to hide that for 5 years

😭

[inland oasis]

TREVOR LMAO

woops caps

kinda fitting tho

for trevor xD

[tame cairn]

true

i wish trevor embraced his chracter

[restive tusk]

👀

[tame cairn]

everyone loves it but he hates it

[inland oasis]

you mean, waking up as him in undies unsure of who he killed isnt embracing it enough

???

[restive tusk]

is roger clark doing anything for GTA 6 ?

[tame cairn]

hopefully

[restive tusk]

meh probably no one knows

[inland oasis]

there better be some damn good cameos and easter eggs

[tame cairn]

Michael is in rdr2

[inland oasis]

i cant wait for that

[tame cairn]

as a rando guy

[inland oasis]

all the little tie ins
