and hopefully if a mutual friend comes back we'll be able to play with them as well

[inland oasis]

yea imo co-op is usually the best experience. most time i ended up getting carried. i died alot but i was the glass cannon. so when i was solo, i practically couldnt do anything. thus fell behind. idk i couldnt find a build or weapons with the skills i liked that i could get good with.

[tranquil glen]

yea i mean im usually solo myself, but past 2 week si just been working on leveling my farming skills (mat harvseting/refining/crafting), and running quests with said friend for MSQ or season

needa chop like 7k worth of wyrdtreees lol

[inland oasis]

I never liked the economy. I like big numbers lmao. Selling stuff was always a pain for me

I like seeing millions of gold lol

[tranquil glen]

I rarely ever hit 2k gold

[inland oasis]

That’s what I mean lol it’s like 20k for a home ain’t it

[tranquil glen]

I am almost always been 0.01 nad 2k lol

also they did cut home prices

t1 home used to be 5k (if first) now its 1k

[inland oasis]

Also I learned the hard way that each town was its own inventory stash. That shit had me so disorganized lmao

[tranquil glen]

first home is also half off i think

[inland oasis]

That I remember yea

[tranquil glen]

yea and currently i can store things like arcana from windsward all the way int cutlass j ust by changing in the storage menu what town its in

town or "fort" i think

[inland oasis]

I always ended up needing stuff in one town that I had in another, would go to get it and then my attention span would distract me and then continue the cycle of mixing my stuff up 😂

It was bad

[tranquil glen]

i try to separate as much as possible but like i still have a mass dump storage and an actual gear storage, lol
I do individualy have a refining storage per refine type, and fish and arcana are all separate

[inland oasis]

yea i think for me it got to a point where i didnt have enough towns to seperate everything out how i wanted. as well as how each town has its own stash size to lvl up etc

it all just domino effected from there

[tranquil glen]

yea fair, they are all connected as long as youve "discovered" the town or region i think, and the stash size has remained the same

they did also rename all the region capitals to actual names not just "Region [capital]"

they did also universalize every refine ingrediant.. so like instead of needing 5 versions of the ingot flux for smelting you only need one cause its all the same now

[inland oasis]

I can only imagine how much probably changed lmao. It’s been probably almost a year or longer

last played may 1st 2023 xD

[tranquil glen]

Been four years since release modt major changes came in the second year and after

[orchid fox]

forgot who spoke against second wind here i do kinda enjoy design delve even if. some takes is questioned https://youtu.be/a-zuu14fmyk?si=VQBHZOBxEyU4BfWr

at least for what i am aware he isnt pulling shit out of his ass

[tranquil glen]

depends on the game imo

[orchid fox]

he basically go into the details of what the balances entail

and why itys done and so and so

[tranquil glen]

I assume he is generalizing all of games right? if so how would you like it if skyrim had warframes steel path system, but locked at cap only

[orchid fox]

its basicallyu his entire video 6min in yes

"easy mode is drawing casual stec but thats making it easy as balancing for ease is a lot less prone to error for balancing for harder difficulty etc" along with general pros and cons

anbd then random silksong throw in middle of nowhere for "no partiular reason"

6min in

#journalistdebuff

[tranquil glen]

yea as i said its entirely based on the game, and for some yea i think there should be difficulty, atleast the general 3 (story, normal, hard) etc.. but when u start talking about games with multiple hards, ie Doom, Skyrim, others I cant name cause idk em all

[orchid fox]

òr uknow

elden ring outcry for an easy mode

"ah yes give the game series NOTORIOUSLY MADE TO BE HARD a easy walk in park toggle"

"fine"

miyazaki laughs maniacally in their face

"no"

[tranquil glen]

except the devs of that game, LITERALLY SAID it would break the flow if they did

[orchid fox]

^

[tranquil glen]

cause i have seen via a friend first hand some bosses can technically be stunlocked to death

otherwise like normal dodge x15, hit once repeat...

what about like a fuck you game mode for half life?

[orchid fox]

imo? bg3 did it saurprisingly well. it didnt change health scalings it just changed the npcs agression and tactics ai. and if they bline for downed allies

[tranquil glen]

i think thats becuase of how game difficulty also differs across games

especially seen with the trash game that is payday 3, vs its goat of a predecssor

[orchid fox]

i have literally not touched it since beta and refuse to

i preordered that shit

[tranquil glen]

payday 3 afaik enemies seem to be more "realistic" in approaches on higher diff, and payday 2 they just become bullet spongs

ive not played and wont play pd3 btw

[inland oasis]

Payday 2 getting a subscription model is so LOL to me

[tranquil glen]

the selling to saudi arabia.

they bought out and went private for billions

Don't forget that most of the money that didn't go to paying out shareholders was only issued as a loan so EA is now sitting on like 20 billion in debt

I was wondering how the new update is

Apparently they made the paid dlc free for this update(for PC players) which was a topic of contention for over a month now lol

[fair halo]

https://tenor.com/view/new-world-who-dis-gif-23302610

[dry copper]

why?

[tranquil glen]

idk major update queues

[dry copper]

No. Why did you wish?

[tranquil glen]

cause i didnt play bc insane queues

[dry copper]

Even if you'd gotten in it would've been a shit show

They have the game running on the same servers as the login server.

[tranquil glen]

true

[dry copper]

Buuuurn, Roblox 😛

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxvXdyxV3So

I wonder how many shots have to be taken at Roblox before they drop the product and rebrand.

The company is entirely owned by corporate investors. It's a hell of a lot more profitable to just rebrand with a new product.

@tranquil glen When slotting weapons, do weapon abilities only apply when using the weapon with that ability or do the fx get extended to your secondary weapon?

In New World

[tranquil glen]

you can only have one weapon type actively in use
(you cant run 2 bows)

and each weapon type has at max 3 active abilities
(even if their trees allow 6 u can only equip 3 at once)

[tranquil glen]

⬆️

there are also now gearsets that allow you to say change from DPS, directly to Tank, or Healer (by default u have an active and one other, though more can be bought), or say a expedition build and a mat farming (miner set, smelting set armors etc)

makes sense Malarky?

[dry copper]

I'm talking about gem slots not abilities

[tranquil glen]

you didnt specifiy, and idk

[dry copper]

Some gems give healing, others better defense. Just wondering if they only work when the relevant weapon is being held (not just equipped)

Can we upgrade to deluxe edition without buying the full deluxe edition ?

Would suck to buy the game twice just to have an armor cosmetic

[tranquil glen]

delux was just new world for newcomers that included dlc at the time, but i was told earlier today its all base game atm, idk what Amazon is gonna do wit the delux now

my main char is also on NA-East Valhalla server if you are curious

[upbeat bolt]

Man I still love BF4 & that M4

Haven't bought 6 yet I'm still skeptical of 6.
Wartapes audio setting 🫡

[austere lance]

6 is so fuckin good

[upbeat bolt]

Ahh don't tempt me unless we can squad up. I'll probably wait for a bit to see where they take it. Still watching videos to get a sense for it

[austere lance]

I don't have it yet, I put more time into the betas than I've put into most full games tho 😆

[upbeat bolt]

Oh my. I liked the beta felt faster pace faster tike to kill them 4. Didn't like that but it was much better then anything after 4.

[tranquil glen]

AHAHHAHHA

https://youtube.com/shorts/cpimh-aIjYc?si=i1BF34Lez-PkvBaH

[silent latch]

BF6 is a solid release I have a few things I would change personally but I've been having fun

The biggest issue is the inconsistency from one game to another due to server lag/netcode. Like my bullets go where I feel they should go but other games I'm like "where the fk are my bullets going?" Out loud to myself 😂

Been having a blast with the new Assault Ladder gadget can make some insane spots with a bit of creativity

[upbeat bolt]

Guess they designed their net code like that one film where they curve the bullets

[upbeat bolt]

How are the LMGs?

Support is my most used class

[silent latch]

Unfortunately they are outshined by both ARs and SMGs . Fire rate is too slow with how the bloom/recoil currently work.

There is one LMG that is basically an AR it has a small clip tho.

Called the DRS IAR it's the 3rd LMG

With how small the maps are personally I use a suppressor on every gun to get noticed less but it takes a long time to unlock the suppressor on the DRS IAR

[upbeat bolt]

One reason I did like 5 was the MG42 & lmgs before they were nerfed then rebuffed

[silent latch]

I loved the Strife LMG in 2042

[upbeat bolt]

I now since the damage range was reduced even through I still snipe with them I usually run & hip fire

[silent latch]

Im sure there will be balancing with the guns as time goes on. There's a few guns that are just clearly the best right now due to how the recoil system is implemented. There's also a wierd mechanic where you have reduced accuracy for a short time after sprinting then going ADS. So if you run +hip fire attachments this moving into ADS accuracy penalty is reduced

[upbeat bolt]

That's what put me off for bf1&5 I liked some stuff with both but missed 4 too much.
I'm largely support or just preventing enemy attacks helis from living lol

Bloodlines was a game changer. If they even scrape the dumpster of what bloodlines was in its peak, Bloodlines 2 will be a must buy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV8gmuZFaM4

[steel grail]

Idk how i feel about content being locked behind paid expansions even before release of the base game

[dry copper]

Like they did with v rising

[steel grail]

V rising doesn't have paid content tho

[dry copper]

Yes it does.

I followed v rising from beta to launch. It launched with cosmetic DLC almost right out of the gate

Then they released Sinister Evolution

[steel grail]

I should have made myself clear. Playable content, not cosmetic.

V rising does have a bunch dlcs but they're all cosmetic and u can play the game start to finish without them

[dry copper]

I don't know. I am not against cosmetics, but day 1 DLC to me no matter what it is - Is wrong.

If that content was available day one, it should've been in the game already.

That shit was carved out and consumers got double dipped

[steel grail]

I don't remember any of this but then again I bought that game before launch so the price was cheaper anyway

[dry copper]

Day 1 DLC for V Rising was the founders pack

[steel grail]

Ohh

[dry copper]

Game was out on the 8th. Founders pack was out less than 10 days later.

[steel grail]

The only dlc I have is the dracula one

Because that aesthetic looks really cool lol

[dry copper]

Felt very much like they carved content out of the game to sell ontop of it

[steel grail]

But it was always cosmetic tho. Its not like they locked u out of the content

[dry copper]

That does not matter where day one dlc is a concern. They could just as easily give you a naked mole rat and call that the intended content. It's an inconsequential consideration where greed and impropriety are a concern.

The kind of half assed side stepping mental gymnastics necessary to eat their reasons as acceptable parlance betrays the very art they claim their video games represent.

[steel grail]

Idk that seems like a very unfair assessment. The dlc pack gives u additional, cosmetic only content. It means u get more for what u paid and only in terms of cosmetics. Its not like they didn't give u anything to begin with and put everything in dlc pack. For example even without dlc pack u can customise entire castle with decorations. The dlc pack however adds a few more unique statues and stuff. Similarly u can transform into a cool bear and a wolf in game and the dlc just gave those forms new looks

AGS locked entire activities behind a paid dlc which went free just days ago. Before that older and original supporters of the game couldn't even access end game activities because they bought the game before and during launch and not during revamp. Now thats scummy behaviour. And coming from a proper corporate company

[slow skiff]

Not anymore they revamped everything

[slow skiff]

Sure I could play br with ya

[tranquil glen]

when? and please tell me they stopped the on open spam with 8 windows for seaons/updates shit

[slow skiff]

I have a rule that I follow though I never buy guns with real money because doing that just shows you have no skill

Earning things is nice

[slow skiff]

They did I think

The game runs well

[tranquil glen]

I mean I had at one point a shit ton of gold skinned weaponry (all the melees included) but holy shit diamond I didnt do nor care to

[slow skiff]

I'm close to getting that

Diamond

👀

It's not my first time playing fps games so I'm really good at it

I been playing fps games since I was 10

👀

[tranquil glen]

on how many weapons are u trying for lol (for golding I was trying to go for the damascus, which is every and all golded)

iirc many weapons are play require 10s of kills per game for more than 20 gamse (120 afaik for AR specifically) to get one gun diamond

[slow skiff]

I do it as I go honestly

[slow skiff]

You might wanna start playing soon if you wanna get this

It's free in the challenge store

Just need to get 100 parts for it

Which you can buy 20 per season

With coins you earn

So save up

[tranquil glen]

wait wait wait

are you telling me they redid teh season pass 14th item?

[slow skiff]

Yes

[tranquil glen]

so its available later after the season ends if u miss it via collectables?

[slow skiff]

Didn't know it used to be a gun long time ago though

👀

[slow skiff]

No

One sec I'll show you

[tranquil glen]

this is a skin not an actual weapon/item though fyi

i dont really care for cosmetic skins aside gold

[slow skiff]

That's how you get it and every season it resets the shop and you can get more peaces for it you keep all peaces you baught previously

You see it in the bottom right in the storehouse menu

[slow skiff]

It's a actually gun

A version of the M4

Completely separate

Not a skin

[tranquil glen]

ohh ok

so a purely modified variant that isnt just a skin ok, that makes mor sense... when does current season end?

[slow skiff]

21d

You can earn it quickly though

I did

Just buy all 20 then wait

For next season

Repeat

And they keep adding up

Until it gets to 100

Then you get the gun

You can go to your inventory after you reach 100 and craft the gun

Same with the ones you see here

[slow skiff]

@tranquil glen

Y'know what's funny though is I used to hate cod

Until I got into cod mobile

👀

Now I play it instead of warface clutch

Cod mobile makes warface clutch look like shit

[tranquil glen]

yea i used to play it alot, then got bored bc id only be on for gold farming lol

[slow skiff]

The game got a lot better

They do collaborations every season now

[tranquil glen]

theyve had collabs when i was there 2 lol

[slow skiff]

They did a collaboration with the anime near atomata a little while ago

I have the skin

And the gun

[steel grail]

This!!! I stopped playing most fps games when this happened. I don't even remember how long ago it was but at some point it wasn't about getting in lobbies to see who'd be the king of the hill or which team was more coordinated

[tranquil glen]

eh I still play fps, just for combat now than "reward" ngl

cept warframe

and tchnically warframe is 3ps but idc

[steel grail]

See games like warframe and destiny, they make sense because they are about loot

But cod, bf and even some br games, they're not about loot tho

But I guess they had to find ways to keep the 'fresh content' idea rolling

theres a harder version extreme with a lot more hands to throw

[pure zinc]

Its because nintendo is owned by a corporate now. Ever since iwata died, nintendo has been faceless, and anti consumer.

I genuinely wanna hear an argument for what they’ve done in the past 5 years that was pro consumer, because i almost guarantee there is nothing

[orchid fox]

this has one.

[coarse swift]

can confirm omega doesnt fuck around in wilds

[orchid fox]

go figure when u need to hit specific pasrts of his body for him to not instagib u

[coarse swift]

Not raise the Switch 2 price due to tariffs I guess

[pure zinc]

But they literally did

[coarse swift]

prove it

Seems to still be $449 to me

[pure zinc]

Prove they didn’t?

[pure zinc]

Which is $150 more than the switch 1?

[coarse swift]

That's not raising the price due to tariffs, thats the set price for a new console

[pure zinc]

Not to mention the fact you are still lagging behind the current generation with the hardware as well

[orchid fox]

uh yes but 499 was from start

THAT IS NOT RAISING price its a new unit

what

xD

[pure zinc]

Its a new unit that performs less than a console at the same price

[orchid fox]

this has to be ragebait lol

[coarse swift]

Seems to work fine for me given the games that are on it

[pure zinc]

Nintendo fans will lick that corporate boot until the company collapses from the inside out

Just wait until nintendo moves to movies because they believe gaming isn’t profitable anymore 💀

[orchid fox]

u do realize innovation doesnrt mean it has to cost the same shit every generation it was 499 since start and didnt get raised

a nerw tech costing 150 is not by definition a raise

lol

[pure zinc]

Where is the innovation

Please

[orchid fox]

are u actually tripping lol

[pure zinc]

It still has the switch 1 ui ffs

[coarse swift]

There is innovation
just because you dont like it doesnt mean it doesn't exist. Calm down and think

[pure zinc]

“Innovation” 😭

[orchid fox]

^.

im not even a switch owner

[coarse swift]

Your standard for what innovation is isnt gonna be the same as everyone elses

[pure zinc]

They are innovating on making you guys give them more money 😭

[orchid fox]

u cant pull the nintendo white knight player on me

[pure zinc]

“Don’t disrespect the multibillion dollar company”

[orchid fox]

i repeat.

[coarse swift]

I'm not about to white knight a billion dollar company that cant even put out a decent Pokemon and decides to revenge sue Palworld
but I'm not about to bitch about stuff I dont like with no reasonable argument either

[orchid fox]

i literally dont own it

i sold my og switch

[pure zinc]

And i repeat 👅👞

[orchid fox]

after gathering dust for over 2 years

[orchid fox]

.

[pure zinc]

You guys do realize

The person who has most say in nintendo rn

[orchid fox]

"them just wanting more money" is one thing denying improvement on HARDWARE for the sake oif ui is ANOTHER level of dellusional

[pure zinc]

Is the same person who was at ea

Making ea actively shittier

[orchid fox]

yes and who fucking asked?

[coarse swift]

Basil if all you're gonna do is namecall with bootlicker to anyone else that isnt negative with Nintendo then dont even talk

[orchid fox]

okay fuck it

[coarse swift]

Like political type arguments right there

[orchid fox]

@barren sparrow chaos over here need a hand

[pure zinc]

I mean i just genuinely don’t see how anyone could defend the company with what they are doing at all

[orchid fox]

im out need to breathe

[pliant iris]

The fella on the left is trying to communicate with his shoes. He needs to de-pretzel himself before he accidentally achieves time travel by collapsing into a singularity.

[coarse swift]

Why care

You arent doing anything to make the company change its tune are you

[pure zinc]

Because they were games that shaped my childhood

[orchid fox]

https://tenor.com/bDhNj.gif

[pure zinc]

Because i have a connection with what they’ve done used to be

[orchid fox]

who tf said we are defending em we are saying ui cant deny consople improvements and call release price a raise

[pure zinc]

Why care lmao

[coarse swift]

Yes, why care

[pure zinc]

Because i hate seeing the things i love get nuked and die

I hate seeing the things i love die due to corporatism

[coarse swift]

I do too, but at least I can make sense with my arguments

[pure zinc]

And it happens literally every time

[pure zinc]

How am i not making sense

How have they done anything pro consumer in the last 5 years

“Not raising prices for tariffs” isn’t pro consumer

Its just not being a dick in the already dick headed market

[coarse swift]

That was a joke lmao, might be hard to read the sarcasm I guess

[pure zinc]

But they do worse anyways

[pure zinc]

I’m not good at social queues period

[coarse swift]

Obviously 'not raising prices due tariffs' isnt a pro consumer thing, its just that compared to Sony and Xbox they didnt. You just pressed that they actually did

[pure zinc]

Because the switch 1 was $300

And they raised the prices on those

[coarse swift]

Yea, but only Switch 1

Hence why I was playing coy with the switch 2

[orchid fox]

• calling a release price at base being 150 more a raise when it has never gotten a raise, just for costing more then switch 1
• deny hardware improvements for the sake of "wanting more money" and "shit same ui" and denying technical specs changing and needing more money for hardware alone
• saying we are white knighting when cases like me DONT EVEN OWN A DAMN SWITCH IN THE FIRST PLACE
• going into "defending multi billion company" when we arent defending them we are countering ur meaningless argument of there being no improvementg
• saying stuff u care for die when they havent even killed the hardware

[pure zinc]

I mean the way you guys were responding made me feel like you guys were defending nintendo… 😭

[coarse swift]

I mean Wii U and 3DS got taken offline if you wanna call something killing the hardware, but that's expected

[orchid fox]

i reiterate i sold my damn switch i am not a stan for any ommpany especially not nintendo

i hate them but i tollerated 3ds to pokemon games

and due to swsh u can guess i quit

as i havent touched the switch since

hence sold it

[coarse swift]

I emulate a lotta Nintendo games why would I defend them

[orchid fox]

i am having an annurism atm lol

[pure zinc]

Because a lot of people rn blindly defend them, and unfortunately i have to deal with a lot of those people. I apologize, I am just used to people unable to take any inch of criticism ;-;

[coarse swift]

They cant even do the actual smart thing of putting all old games on the Switch 2 without needing Expansion Pass

[orchid fox]

okay good
i apologize for getting heated as well

but my god everything is not white knighting

[pure zinc]

That and like literally everything i have loved has died due to money

Whether it be not enough, or they make too much to care

[orchid fox]

yes but that not valid to say the base price of new unit new gen being 150 higher is a raise when the new unit itself has stayed the same price since release 💀

[pure zinc]

Well who’s to say that release price wasn’t based on tariffs?

[orchid fox]

oh my christ that does not even matter for the argument

[pure zinc]

Then what does

[orchid fox]

tarifs or not its the god damn release pricve

[pure zinc]

I’m not trying to be upsetting

[orchid fox]

but u indirectly are to me when u pull stuff outside of the main argument lol

okay whatever i take a brewak from this chat

sorry for me getting heated

mods if u wanna time me out for this or whatever feel free at ur discretion, i fully am aware getting bit hostile

[pure zinc]

My brain is just spotty, and a lot of the time i make connections between things that may or may not be connected. And as for the whole boot licking thing, i do apologize.. :/

[orchid fox]

ty.

[orchid fox]

im nort even angry on the spotty bit hell im autistic and adhd thats what my brain is by default detail wise. so i dont really have the right to get angry over someone being like that. what i ccan get upset with easy is opinions like fact without proper explaination

BUIT ALAS we are now on good terms and mutually apologized

again my fuse is short my bad, but still sorry

[pure zinc]

Sometimes I can believe things without 100% detail as well, which I understand is an issue for most..

Because it doesn’t allow me to fully explain what I think I know, because the reality is that I just think I know TwT

[orchid fox]

oh same

when i have to do like very fast reacction explainations i cant

countering im better at

[pure zinc]

Tbh I am not really a fan of arguing at all

I just feel strongly on some things and share my opinions hoping others feel the same

[orchid fox]

i arent either but i always end up getting in that position constantly lol

to same reason strong opinioned/emotioned

[pure zinc]

I guess talking things that are emotionally invested will always be harder to talk about TwT

But i wish there was an easier way

[orchid fox]

oh amen

[inland oasis]

I prefer debates. TELL ME YOUR SIDE I wanna know how others think too. Doesn’t always mean it’ll change my perspective or mind, but, sometimes a debate/convo about altering thoughts sparks a friendship.

A lot of my friendships started off as what people think is an argument but it was just a little debate

[orchid fox]

at least we came to an understanding lol

all is good

[pure zinc]

Ye ^^

im glad that didn’t get any worse

@inland oasis made another edit lol

too big to send the full thing here though

3 min edit, longest i've done yet lol

[inland oasis]

My dumbass accidentally skipped the CapCut tutorial and I feel like an idiot tryna figure it out myself 😂

I know I can just restart the tutorial but you said you play on console? How do u get your clips on CapCut then?

[verbal plume]

i download the clips from the PS App

[inland oasis]

Okay gotcha I do the same then already with Xbox app

[verbal plume]

yee

Cap Cut isn't too bad

[inland oasis]

So I had like 7 clips lined up, and they appear in the upper left window, and then when I click the + it adds the track down to the bottom. I’ve lined all my tracks up in a row, no effects or anything. Once I got to that point I tried exporting and for some reason it only saved the audio. Not sure if something just went weird but normally do you just export, and the clip you could preview, is what it should be right?

[verbal plume]

yea the other edits i sent were sent basically right after exporting

[inland oasis]

Hmm I musta maybe accidentally clicked something imma try this out again

i think i found out what i mightve clicked in the export menu xD

[verbal plume]

lmaoo

also make sure to export at 60 fps cuz 30fps can mess up the timing of stuff

[tranquil glen]

sky: children of light?

[inland oasis]

yea that seemed kinda like "why would i ever want it to be lower?" but i assumed youd wanna try to match whatever framerate in game u had

[verbal plume]

also discord is mean and doesnt like big files

🙁

[inland oasis]

i got one thats 190mb, 4m21s, as a test vid mashup

nope

again it only saved the audio

i dont have the audio spot even selected

[verbal plume]

hmm

mine looks slightly different

the UI (mobile)

no idea honestly

[pure zinc]

Yea, but not a game i could recommend unfortunately :/

It’s one of those games i wish had a full release and didn’t go free to play

Because the free to play system they’ve created kinda just makes it not fun to play unless you are spending money :/

[inland oasis]

think i may of found it. it was making it an .mp4 file. imma try exporting as .mov

trying another export lol

ugh i hate this wtf

[tranquil glen]

That is literally many f2p

[pure zinc]

Doesn’t make it any less upsetting to me

The future of gaming

As someone who enjoys the style of game, as well as their previous game journey, i just wish it could’ve been better

And not focused on selling microtransactions

[pure zinc]

I love mushroomusic

[dry copper]

Technically they could remove all the moving parts and translate the signals directly into sounds instead of this

Would be more stable

Imagine being able to literally have a conversation with plants when you come home after work

[inland oasis]

I need a bail compilation

[inland oasis]

i could see it edited in like a flashback after youve shown you landed it too 😄

[dry copper]

Like, a compilation of banks accepting money from the government to bail them out after the housing crash?

[pure zinc]

That could work too, but i meant a slam compilation

Ragdoll comp

[dry copper]

So pretty much my entire history playing the game

[inland oasis]

now that ive learned the basics, i just need a day off to setup some slams 😄

[pure zinc]

This is a video my brother made

[dry copper]

I played the game for three hours and spent more time trying to kill myself than skating normally

[pure zinc]

Same lmao

But my favorite thing to do in it so far is unrealistic lines

my favorite line so far

[dry copper]

I climbed the tallest building and turns out that it was supposed to be climbed...So I started doing targetted nose dives into people...and turns out devs anticipated that so there's no collision....So I started diving into high speed traffic and devs were like....yeah we can't stop the cars fast enough

[pure zinc]

I lile diving from the buildings into traffic lmao

[dry copper]

Just dive into traffic while spread eagle. Best ragdoll.

[pure zinc]

Spread eagle or the genuine dive

[dry copper]

It doesn't help when you dive spread eagle into the ground you slide 20 feet like you're supposed to be luging the concrete.

[pure zinc]

I like when you clip through the ground and the game throws you into the sky as a response

[pure zinc]

Bro is DEAD

[inland oasis]

Hospital on speed dial 💀

Bro the DING kills me

😂😂😂

[pure zinc]

Idk how much a hospital could help with a crushed skull 😭

[dry copper]

[inland oasis]

Reminds me of the pubg frying pan noise

[pure zinc]

Thats my favorite noise

Or one of

[inland oasis]

It sucks discord got that damn 100mb file limit

[pure zinc]

True

[inland oasis]

I string like 5 20 second clips together and it’s already like 150+

[pure zinc]

I wish discord compressed the videos to it’s small size requirement

I don’t need 4k all the time

[inland oasis]

That’s only 1080p 😭

[pure zinc]

I love how much random garbage can increase video file size

[inland oasis]

U can select UHD, and 2k, 4k options tho

[pure zinc]

Video file size almost never makes sense

At least in my experience

[inland oasis]

30 gig 2m vid for 4k lmao

Idk actually

[pure zinc]

Like somehow a 45 second video of elden ring is only 32mb, but a 15 second minecraft clip is 200mb

[inland oasis]

Yea it balloons

[pure zinc]

Idk why tho

It’s very weird

Seems like no reason

[inland oasis]

More pixels to be recorded. Way more technical than I can explain

[pure zinc]

But then wouldn’t elden ring be bigger since that game has a shit ton of particles and what not?

More colors to record

[inland oasis]

That all stems down to pixels

[coarse swift]

Old circle

[inland oasis]

More colors means you have more pixels for that better vibrancy

[pure zinc]

Ye

Idk

Video encoding is weird

Im glad it exists tho

[inland oasis]

I always tend to assume 4k is 4x the pixels of 1080p I think?

[pure zinc]

Im pretty sure ye

[inland oasis]

Roughly

[dry copper]

More colors doesn't mean more pixels. Resolution isn't bitrate 😛

[inland oasis]

No but what I mean in a sense is pixels are the reason you even have color in the first place

Red green and blue being blended

[dry copper]

You can have a single pixel with more color options than a thousand pixels though.

Pixels can change colors.

Express more bits

[inland oasis]

With higher resolution you have more pixels, with more pixels you can have more detailed lighting etc and colors

HDR settings and such

[dry copper]

You can certainly create the illusion of more colors with more pixels, but the pixel to pixel color is not higher.

[inland oasis]

No but in terms of why file size balloons

[pure zinc]

Cos pixels can only be three colors right?

[inland oasis]

It’s cuz there’s roughly 4x the pixels of stuff being recorded

Red green and blue in a multitude of different frequencies

[pure zinc]

To create the illusion of color

[dry copper]

It used to be you needed a minimum 3 pixels for all colors to be represented on cathode ray tubes, but that's not how LCD or any modern displays work

[inland oasis]

LCD is liquid crystals. LED tho

[pure zinc]

But now one pixel is all three colors right?

[inland oasis]

I believe so and diff intensities of them blended create the colors

[pure zinc]

Ye

[inland oasis]

You can zoom in on a single pixel and see it with your eyes

The red green n blue

[pure zinc]

Crt’s are the easiest to see it with

Also

[inland oasis]

Old school lmao

If you know how to do it right

[inland oasis]

Yeaaa but I already broke it my mom would kill me if I tried again

💀💀💀😂

[pure zinc]

Or you need a special degaussing tool

[inland oasis]

“IM FIXING IT MOM I SWEAR!”

[dry copper]

I remember when degaussing tvs was an actual job

TV repairman

[inland oasis]

I remember when I used to have to use those cd disc scratch removers daily to get my ps2 games to work again 💀😂

[pure zinc]

I used to use toothpaste

[dry copper]

I actually pursued that career and the first books I received were useless in fixing flat screens

[pure zinc]

For my ps3 games

[inland oasis]

The little crank spin machines came with some kinda chemical for it

I’ve heard toothpaste tho

[supple glen]

I use to get mad and bite my games and im Canadian rip $80 a pop games now would be 100+ after conversion to modern day

[pure zinc]

The whole time when i tried it the first time i thought i was breaking my game, but surprisingly it works well

I just wouldn’t rely on it tho

[inland oasis]

Kinda crazy how it even works at all. Like that data in a disc, you’d think grinding any part of that would just obliterate anything on the disc

[pure zinc]

True

[inland oasis]

Idk enough about how they really even make em tbh

[pure zinc]

I remember when they used to make dvd’s that would kill themselves on purpose

Like rentable expirable dvd’s

They were red

And sucked ass

They would literally disintegrate

Lmao

[inland oasis]

Lmao I never had any of those. To me the black gaming discs were rare but seems as good as regular ones. Never had a red one

[pure zinc]

I’m pretty sure we used to get them at blockbuster before it shut down

Redbox was cool too

I used to steal so many games from them 😭

[supple glen]

You can just go to the library checkout a game and not return it

[dry copper]

That's just fucking wrong

[inland oasis]

Return the slip with a fake disc from those packs of 250 burnable discs …guilty

[supple glen]

oh well

[dry copper]

A library works hard to make games available to people. Stealing from poor people is disgusting

[pure zinc]

Not even lmaoo. I would just keep them 😭

[pure zinc]

Also i was little

[supple glen]

moral policing in a video game discord feels like bait but if it helps I'm poor too

[dry copper]

I've stolen shit.

[pure zinc]

Nah, redbox unfortunately disappeared the moment i became an adult

[dry copper]

I stole comic books for my friends.

[supple glen]

I return the game eventually after I beat it which is long past the week they give you to play it tho

[pure zinc]

Now the stores that used to have them have pokemon card machines 💀

[coarse swift]

Not to flex or anything but I lied to my parents a lot

[inland oasis]

It was such a “too good to be true” opportunity. Only, it actually worked

[dry copper]

Did you steal the change from the shopping you did for them to buy candy bars?

[inland oasis]

Sometimes if I find change that someone forgot in machines, I keep it for myself instead of telling the workers 😈

[coarse swift]

No but I did steal money from my mom sometimes to get school lunches since she wouldnt pay for it

[supple glen]

Keeping your parents change Is a right of passage
Bonus points if you Indiana Jones your moms purse

[pure zinc]

That’s honestly not that horrible

I think its prolly worse they wouldn’t pay for your lunches

[dry copper]

I went to a food kitchen for the poor a couple blocks from my school to have lunch

It was always full of veterans and church folk

It irks me watching public speakers who stand infront of a mic and say umm

[coarse swift]

News people saying "uhh" a lot

[dry copper]

I'm of the mind, if you can't form a single cogent thought without filler words, you don't belong in public speaking.

I remember a whole class period back in elementary teaching kids to say full paragraphs without saying "uhh" or "umm"

I almost got into Payday 2 recently.

Then I saw this

and I deleted the game

I get it, selling out for profit. Makes sense of the game already churning out a bajillion DLC anyway....but I think this has to have been the worst character pack the game ever thought of selling.

Almost as bad as when they added Jared Leto to Fort Nite

GOG having a decent indie promo sale

90% off This War of Mine, complete

[austere lance]

Expedition 33 also got put on GOG recently

[dry copper]

Interesting. It's rated for adults.

Never noticed that before

[austere lance]

What is

[split ridge]

that game seemed pretty mild when I played it
Interesting

although I forget some details in the game so maybe there's a reason lmao

[dry copper]

Expedition 33 on gog. I went to check it out and was hit by a 17+ maturity rating

[austere lance]

Well yeah, there's some fucked up shit in it 😆

The big cutscene after the tutorial earns it that rating alone, lol

[split ridge]

oh yeah that one did lol

honestly one of my favorite games I played this year

[austere lance]

This video made me laugh my ass off

How did you get this message?

"I don't know! You called me! You don't call the wrong number and then demand they tell you how they answered your call"

[inland oasis]

ayyeee they fixed the shitty cpu performance while im playing skate now 🙂 nice

[austere lance]

For those who are interested but aren't sure they wanna buy it

[torpid lynx]

ain't no way they just referenced THAT...

[brisk merlin]

hey is there anyone here whos interested in joining a star citizen org, looking for people to play with or starting to play the game? if so pls dm me, my org is looking for members :p

[inland oasis]

^_^

[dry copper]

It almost feels bad to mock Star Citizen anymore. Like punching a struggling child with a silver spoon in its mouth.

I'm glad that there are some people still promoting a good community. The game will need that after the community is ruined on launch

[brisk merlin]

when was the last time you played it?

[dry copper]

I refuse to purchase it.

[brisk merlin]

then your opinion isnt needed
and is very wrong, the game is doing better than ever right now

[dry copper]

Riiiight.

That's why you came to a nms server to recruit.

[brisk merlin]

ive been here for longer than you have been on discord

[dry copper]

That doesn't mean anything.

[brisk merlin]

you have no idea my history on this server do you...

[dry copper]

I have a bad memory.

Did they finish that world sized city?

ArcCorp

[brisk merlin]

i think they finished that years ago

[dry copper]

Oh I see what they did. I thought they were making a world sized city. They made a world that looks like a city, with areas to explore. I hope they never follow in the footsteps of Entropia, selling virtual real estate for real money

[brisk merlin]

oh no

they know their limits

[dry copper]

Is there a release date for the game yet?

wth...Is this game still considered in Alpha?

[brisk merlin]

2028 is the estimated 1.0 date

[inland oasis]

gta6 before star citizen? 😛 xD

[mental rose]

Half Life 3 before SC? 😏

[dry copper]

Half Life 3 will never happen

That's just cruel to tease about

I'm stoked to play Light No Fire

In theory, we could turn the entire planet's surface in Light No Fire to ArcCorp

A real explorable planet

A city that lags the entire player base

[mental rose]

Jokes aside though;
While I admit that SC is cool in concept and scope, the financial decisions of the company behind it give me goosebumps.

and a neverending source of ridicule for us. 😄

[tranquil glen]

I’m so tired this morning. I got out two spoon

For breakfast cereaal

[austere lance]

Give them another billion dollars, surely this release date is actually gonna happen. Unlike, you know, all the other release dates they've failed 🤣

[brisk merlin]

it hasnt had another

I really like this guy's work

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MklaR2zM0o

He's got some pretty high standards and he's a bit snobby about his work but I appreciate that he cares a lot

[high ibex]

idk if this is a new thing in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy or not, but apparently the passive animals (used for a form of healing) will stand around you lol

[split ridge]

I love that game series!

[high ibex]

Spyro is my childhood lol
I never finished the game as a kid (I might still have it in my old ps3) but I saw the remastered version is on Steam and Deck Verified, so I immediately got it lol

The wave of nostalgia I got from loading into the first area

[split ridge]

I first played it on the ps1 haha
This OST from the game always gives me good memories
https://youtu.be/glkPyEeVzwc?si=DZ3hzQyj1ctR9xj9

they did a really good job with the reignited trilogy

[modern zodiac]

Im so hyped for light no fire it looks SO awesome

im a sucker for medival dragons and myths

is there any info on the release date?

[dry copper]

Did nobody else notice in the beginning of Far: Lone Sails, you're sitting at an altar to Chad?

[tranquil glen]

Lone Sails is the water one right? Or the one big wheel one

I own the latter

and no I didnt realize as i dont own

[split ridge]

doom

[torpid lynx]

i think it's just thos lizards are aggressive so they threaten you even though they can't do anything XD

[high ibex]

Nothing but the trailer. If anything did come out, best place to check is the Steam page or the announcements channel on this discord! (I think for the latter, at least lol)

[high ibex]

I know lol
They just goofy little guys

[mint bridge]

@jovial mica am totally willing to buy bf3 if you wanna let me join you 👀

[pure zinc]

Never could’ve seen this coming

https://youtu.be/e8gsIorHVGE?si=86ku7gzBPizjrETC

“No way anyone 100%’s it… for real this time” 😭

[pliant python]

hell divers 2 is rlly good tbh

[jovial mica]

ngl playing bf3 again was so refreshing, havent played it 10 years

[mint bridge]

i imagine thats how itd be for me lmao

probably take like half an hour to download tho

[jovial mica]

its only 30ish gb

[mint bridge]

steam said 20, it took me 15 to download vigor, thats 8gb

[jovial mica]

but after 2042 failing to load at every turn for the last 8 months and bf6 feeling like a cod clone, i figure it was time to see if the bf3 servers were still going, and they very much are

[jovial mica]

do you play HD2 or tarkov at all?

[mint bridge]

loads of hd

i could get into tarkov, but i dont ahve anyone to play it with. i get bored of playing single player quick

like
oblivion remasted i have almost 4 days in, warhammer rogue trader not even 1.5 lmao

rn im playing atomfall cause i love fallout and figured it may be a good one to try

[jovial mica]

ill have my brother invite you to our discord when he gets a chance, theres always someone to play HD, Tarkov or BF with

[mint bridge]

if youll still be on in half an hour ill grab bf3 rn 😂

[jovial mica]

we have maybe 70ish people and a lot of them are on regularly

[mint bridge]

amazing. im down for it

oh bf3 is on gamepass
i was ready to buy it lmfao

ea does say 34gb. weird the minimum requirement for steam was 20

[inland oasis]

https://medal.tv/games/helldivers-2/clips/ljTIvwPoCmZKvol7v?invite=cr-MSw2TUQsMTY4MzE4NDcx&v=120

Ah yes i love the stress of super helldive. where EVERY direction you turn is a goddamn bug XD
But, when the planets align, and the timing is perfect you can obliterate an entire FIELD at once 😄

[obtuse reef]

I fucking love super helldive bugs. My friend and I got this absurd kill count purely because you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting a brood commander in the face.

The halo shotgun also helped matters

It should also go without saying that we did not manage to extract

[inland oasis]

yea the meganest we were trying to clear at the time literally would not stop spitting out bugs and spawning nonstop xD

[dry copper]

My brain could not read that word properly...I kept hearing in my head "HOW IS BABBY FORMED?"

[jovial mica]

ARC Raiders server slam free weekend starts in 32 minutes

[dry copper]

slam free?

What does that mean?

Is there a slamcosts a few bucks weekend?

[torpid lynx]

[jovial mica]

Yes it's called buying the game oct 30 lol

wtf kind of pants are those young lady? You get to your room and dress appropriately.

Some day I'll wear shorts.

[tranquil glen]

ah

ngl i still neda work on arceus

[dry copper]

It's like the game was written by children

Full of innuendo and high school quality writing

Guess they gotta try and be edgy somehow, with Palworld handing their franchise its ass over and over

Today's wordle answer at nyt is ||GROSS||

This person really enjoyed Death Stranding

[modern zodiac]

yall know ima listen to Roar of The Jungle Dragon while i play light no fire

[tranquil glen]

on vry hard its 5.5 hours

on console

[jovial mica]

breaking news ARC Raiders kinda slaps

[tranquil glen]

youve read the full steam page right?

[jovial mica]

yes?

[tranquil glen]

and you dont care for the disclaimer?

[jovial mica]

which one? the ai content one?

[tranquil glen]

yea

[jovial mica]

i dont see an issue with it, my logo is ai designed but i tweaked it to be better. i have issues when ai content supplements actual content, i have issues with ai narrated videos and generated content, i have issues when ai content replaces human thought, less so when a company says hey chatgpt generate me a 3d model of a drone and then a person has to take that concept art and make it a working model assign a framework, animate it and make it functional

quick search shows they use ai machine learning to help the enemy ai learn your behavior over time as well

kinda like the ai in alien isolation

[inland oasis]

Ayeee wooo 🙂

crazy i get it as yous are talking bout it

[jovial mica]

i mean my gpu uses ai to generate frames based on whats already displayed, i draw the line at hey chatgpt how do you spell security...this is a thing i witnessed a grown adult do

[jovial mica]

ive been playing it all morning

[inland oasis]

im going in completely blind. seen nothing other than like 2-3 trailers. and one YT vid of a playtest. the audio was incredible alone

its like the only thing i remember rly xD

[jovial mica]

the sound design is great, you get a feel for actual distance in the game

and makes you be cognizant of how much sound youre actually making because other players will hear you, shooting, looting, footsteps, movement etc

i was looting a building on the first floor, heard footsteps so i stopped moving, nothing but silence for 1 minute, then i hear a voice from upstairs saying "we chill?" lol i told the dude yea, we swapped some loot and went about the rest of the match on our seperate ways

[inland oasis]

lol I suck at PvP lol. I’ll probably avoid everyone unless I’m 100% sure I’m gonna get the kill😂

[jovial mica]

most people are just figuring out the game and are pretty tame, once the tarkov sweats get in its jover

[inland oasis]

That’s my fear… it’s hard to do extract shooter in a way where a casual like me can still have fun while keeping it fair too. Like I’m all for getting owned. I know I’m not that good, but, a lot of times, these type of games just put me in a losing streak till I lose interest

Tarkov wrecked me. Lmao

I play insurgency red river rn as like a “tarkov for dummies”

[jovial mica]

its quite easy to keep out of sight, the game is also fairly slow and everyone starts at some random point on the map

[inland oasis]

I love co op type stuff

[jovial mica]

once i get in i try to get whatever mission i have done, fill my bag and just exfil, team size is trios i belive but ive been solo all morning

[inland oasis]

so, success rate say out of 10 runs would be? 5/10? 8/10? 1/10?

[jovial mica]

id say about 6-7, the players are less of a hassel than the bots

[inland oasis]

ahhh good good. that sounds nicer

[jovial mica]

but youll see what i mean lol

[inland oasis]

loadin up now lol

[jovial mica]

just dont be me and try and fiddle with keybinds mid match lol

[inland oasis]

when else can ya? XD

[tranquil glen]

honestly real, best time to fiddle is when risk of death

[inland oasis]

damn, love getting 50fps at maxed out settings 😄 awesome. and i mean this cuz i have a pretty "lower end" machine all things considered nowadays 🙂

[dry copper]

Surprisingly good narrative puzzler.

The game is very on rails, but I'm enjoying the mechanics very much

It's like a more interesting version of Life is Strange

[balmy plaza]

That's something I quite appreciate so far

I've had a couple of non hostile encounters so far

And one that started hostile but we ended it peacefully
