i shall test again later today then

[inland oasis]

And you just ignite

But one dive and your good

Then it cools and you can basically go again just don’t max it out

That used to be my main for the LONGEST time. My fist lvl 25 gun

And it was viable on every faction fairly equally

[tranquil glen]

well yea i get why that is good, but to me i was burning after 15 rounds regardless of overheating

[inland oasis]

That don’t sound too right 😂😅 maybe somethin buggy

It’s genuinely hard to hurt yourself imo with when I was using it

[narrow wagon]

yall think we're getting subnautica 2 or gta6 first?

[wraith horizon]

Dmc 6

[narrow wagon]

what

whats that

[dry copper]

Paralives

Also GTA6 will come out before Sub2

I'd be shocked if Sub2 ever came out.

[narrow wagon]

how come?

they're on a great trajectory rn and i feel the complete opposite

despite all the drama around their publishers (which isnt affecting the team or the game at all), they're doing pretty good

[wraith horizon]

The devil may cry is a game franchise dealing with the story of dante who is a crying devil-

[verbal plume]

im just going to accept that im bad at every other fromsoft game besides elden ring

i cant even beat the vacuous spider rom

with ludwigs holy blade

💔

[austere lance]

To be fair, she's a bitch of a fight

[verbal plume]

i hate all boss fights where they have minions of some kind

it's not fun lol

[austere lance]

Also, Bloodborne isn't exactly a normal FromSoft game. It and Sekiro are outliers, the Dark Souls games are the ones that are closer to Elden Ring

I always tell people to play Dark Souls 3 if they like ER

[verbal plume]

True, I'm just playing Bloodborne cuz it's on PS Plus. I do wish DS3 was...

DS3 is still $60...

[austere lance]

Fuck that, get the Fire Fades Edition with both DLCs for $20 from Walmart or whatever 😆

[verbal plume]

Bloodborne is really cool though, I like all the eldritch stuff

I wanna get good at bloodborne but I'm probably gonna be stuck on that fight forever lol

I got Rom to half before the first teleport but died, now I can't replicate it ever

[austere lance]

Absolutely worth it, and it'll probably drop in price more for Black Friday

The DLCs go nuts in DS3, especially the second one

[verbal plume]

Yea, too bad my PS5 is digital

lol

$60 is outrageous anyways on the PS Store

for a game that old

I played a bit of DS3 though and got stuck on Pontiff

[austere lance]

Everyone gets stuck on Pontiff, he's the filter 😆

[verbal plume]

nice

[feral ginkgo]

Well i stop playing Elden Ring for a while.
Good think I didn’t payed any for it.

They hardened it in the next gen update, really?!

Well first of all Elden Ring broke the un-written rules of Souls games, allow me to explain this;
Bosses have delayed and continues attacks with no good window of opportunity to attack without losing health, and no matter where you stand, you can stand behind them in this case and the boss can hit you somehow when that attack doesn’t done in your direction, because of this locked on you thing.

The most ”funny” is that Margit can throw his dagger frontward, and it’s hitting me somehow when i stand behind him because he’s locked on me with a very fast turn speed.

I’m a big fan player of the whole Dark Souls trilogy, i beaten those three games too many times even with made up challenges. But somehow I don’t enjoy this hardened Elden Ring, as a new Elden player.
Why they didn’t throw an option for it in the game that we can select the easier difficulty, that’s a great question.

[austere lance]

FromSoft has never put difficulty options in their games

[verbal plume]

Difficulty options don't exist in their games.

But it pretty much does in Elden Ring

Go and farm more runes and come back

👍

the entire world is open, so you don't and shouldn't smash your head against the brick wall. leave and come back when you are stronger.

and there definitely are open windows for bosses without taking damage, you just have to get good at rolling

not saying this in a "git gud" kind of way, but its literally all about timing.

when you dodge you have a second when you are invincible, so you can dodge through every attack thrown at you if you time it correctly

[pure zinc]

Fromsoft games and capcom games are the only ones i can consistently rely on nowadays really. That and warframe lol

[verbal plume]

i need help with rom 😭

guess im joining the bloodborne discord

[inland oasis]

So useful having infinite ammo once you got that timing memorized. Things just bullet hose and just gets stronger over time lol

[inland oasis]

FYI even if a teammate is running the booster it’ll affect you too. So if someone else gets it, it’s even better, cuz then you don’t have to waste your own booster slot

[tranquil glen]

not enough damage, goin back to medic eruptor build

[tranquil glen]

yall wanna see old game?

old Raft

[dry copper]

Dante is a half demon that hunts demons.

The name of the game is a play on the idiom "Devil May Care", which as a turn of phrase refers to someone that does not care what they are doing though the devil may because it's sinful.

Namely, not caring.

Devil May Cry obtained more of its meaning from the circumstances in the game...Namely, Dante making demons cry.

[wraith horizon]

Ik that
I played the games 😭
Although i thought it was devil may cry cuz the half human part of dante got emotions
Like crying
And the other half is the devil

[tranquil glen]

guys its jover for bo7

all online and can be invaded 🤣

[tranquil glen]

https://youtube.com/shorts/AxiIoDRB628?si=OxuyFd-zlhhIQSNo

[tranquil glen]

thats far more plentiful on the web tho

[steep badger]

Welp that's the end I guess... The same stuff happened for KSP 2

Paradox must have been really pissed off after what CO did to CS2

Gosh I wish the same happens with Focus and DTG

[tranquil glen]

honestly i dont give a fuck what they think of CO or CS2, if CS2 lost money all the more to more money drain for that game

but yea sadly single solo games losing quite the backing is a bit sad

[feral ginkgo]

Is there a grace(campfire) somewhere down there?

Have you played AC6? 😄

[obtuse reef]

I got past pontiff with the help of another player who had a mage build

I hated him, but not as much as Dancer

Honestly most of my problems probably stemmed from the fact that greatsword/greathammer builds absolutely suck on bosses that can’t really be staggered

[feral ginkgo]

How i got invaded? In Dark Souls that was a new game plus thing, I’m surprised because apparently it’s not new game plus thing in the Elden Ring.

[verbal plume]

There's multiple NPC invaders that will invade you

Was that the lady with the giant cleaver that you have in your hand?

There's even a few times where you invade and one where you can help an NPC with his invasion

ARC Raiders looks fun

[obtuse reef]

I’ve been invaded in DS3 before without NG+

One of the guys was really chill. He kinda just followed me around until I got to the boss, where he proceeded to jump off a bridge so I could progress

[dry copper]

You get invaded in Where Winds Meet. That's basically the pvp system. You act like a dick to NPCs, get a bounty and people invade your game

[feral ginkgo]

Activision still not fixed Black ops 6 and 7 on Xbox Game Pass, the hub like launcher thing don’t recognise it that i have downloaded 6 and 7 fully.
Hopefully they fixing that in this week.

[verbal plume]

someone helped me kill Rom

i need to kill amygdala

killed the martyr guy

killed ebrietas

The One Reborn

etc

[wraith horizon]

Rivals or overwatch

[split ridge]

Neither

[tranquil glen]

finalz

https://tenor.com/view/drg-deep-rock-galactic-deep-rock-dwarves-dwarf-gif-23593501

honestly i would prefer COD over rivals

[pure zinc]

I’ve gotten invaded in dark souls 1 before ng+ before

So idk if it’s a ng+ thing

I’m pretty sure it’s if you have your humanity restored / furled finger casted / are playing multiplayer, you get invaded

Or sometimes it can be a scripted npc

[austere lance]

Nah, Activision can fuck off with their AI slop. At least Rivals is made by Marvel fans

[austere lance]

Rivals, fuck Activision-Blizzard

[tranquil glen]

i dont give a fuck it is my opinion, least its not a hero shooter even if it is ai shit

[narrow wagon]

we were talking about subnautica

in the nms channel and were asked to move here

[tranquil glen]

so ping the person 🤣

[narrow wagon]

they were already typing so i thought "eh why not"

[split ridge]

is cod using ai in their newest games? (I haven't played one in a long time so I'm out of the loop with this)

[austere lance]

Yep

[split ridge]

like ai art or for npc intelligence?

[austere lance]

Art

Tho the campaign design and dialogue are so fuckin bad that I wouldn't be surprised if AI did them too

[dry copper]

Where Winds Meet uses AI in several parts, too.

There are scripted NPC you can speak to, and based on the shit quality of the stories scattered throughout the game, I'm guessing AI wrote that shit too

[tranquil glen]

You can also actively fuck over the chat log with npc to make them say stuff, akin to fortnite vader from what i hear

[narrow wagon]

read this as "chat over the fuck log" and was SO lost

Anyone in here play Fallout 76?

[wraith horizon]

Bruh i saw someone say expedition 33 dont deserve to be nominated and mario kart world should have been nominated 😭

[tranquil glen]

i dont think mario should get further nominations ngl

[wraith horizon]

Did it even get any 😭

[supple glen]

I can't lie I don't get the 33 hype it feels like persona 5 all over again
JRPGs were always about this good the public just noticed this one in particular

[steep badger]

same, but I haven't played and nor intend to play the game so I am not sure whether I am right in feeling this way.

I wish NMS wins best on-going

[austere lance]

I've tried two Persona games and thought they were meh, E33 is tho

[supple glen]

Wrong context
They both grabbed casuals/ the mass public the same way

Its a repeat

[austere lance]

And no, JRPGs were not always this good (technically it's an FRPG, cuz they're a French studio 🤣). I've tried many many JRPGs and I've gotten bored of every one within two hours. E33 hit like crack tho, it's easily in my top games of all time 💕

[supple glen]

Yeah see exactly you get bored of JRPGs but 33 brought you in exactly as I described

[austere lance]

I've tried every major JRPG franchise and gotten bored, but E33 hooked me immediately

[supple glen]

I suspect it's the flashy pzaas & bright colors for alot of people one of the main popular things to say about p5 was it's art style

[austere lance]

No, for me it's the story and voice acting and gameplay. I'm a huge fan of turn based with more interaction

[supple glen]

Ignoring the intended context I'm speaking on personal experiences are valid too ofc I liked the end game choice I made the "evil one"

Which was the right one ||it's the equivalent of killing a alternative reality/dimension||

[austere lance]

||Deleting the painting is the good ending||

[supple glen]

Exactly

[wraith horizon]

To be fair dispatch and detroit are similar in this aspect

The actual gameplay aint that hot compared to something like got or a souls
But the story is why ppl play it majorly
I never played any persona games but i doubt they had this near souls like gameplay

[wraith horizon]

||deleting the canvas is nice from renoir's pov, from maelle's pov her ending was obviously better not just because the canvas was her life but cuz she is a burn victim irl , and i doubt in that time period burn victims were given the same respect, look at how clea talks to alicia outside the canvas,
But deleting the canvas is the better option cuz verso needs to rest||

[wraith horizon]

Diabolical spoilers so fair warning
Im serious

Anyways
Opinions on far cry
Any far cry

[austere lance]

3 is good, 4 has my favorite villain of the franchise, 5 is ok but for some reason it's a bunch of people's favorite, Primal is surprisingly fun (you play as a caveman), and 6 kicks ass

[wraith horizon]

So say hypothetically a person who has never played any far cry games wants to try it out and was recommended 5 -

[austere lance]

A lot of people started with 5

5's progression system annoys the shit out of me and I hate how the story is laid out, so I say start with 4 if you want the OG series gameplay and a great villain or 6 if you want a much better version of the new gameplay that 5 introduced and an ok villain (Gus from Breaking Bad)

@wraith horizon ☝️

[wraith horizon]

Ight
4 it is

[inland oasis]

[barren sparrow]

Crap, Frostpunk 2 keybinds are bugged, when I try to rebind Q it unbinds A, when I bind A it unbinds Q. Idk who I should hate, devs for not making a AZERTY <-> QWERTY switch in menu or whoever decided Belgium will use AZERTY

Maybe I should give up and just import QWERTY keyboard one day

[barren sparrow]

I guess it's bc of French language.... Many games these days have a toggle in settings

eh

So 11bit studio's fault then

[mellow dune]

Epic win

WOWS Asym battles my love

Bismarck Secondary build still putting in the work

[dusty hill]

I made a list of games similar to No Man’s Sky. I focused mainly on the ability to land on planets and on space exploration, but I also included games that have crafting or combat components.

https://nmssimilargames.netlify.app

https://nomansskymyblog.blogspot.com/2025/11/no-mans-sky-similar-games.html

[tranquil glen]

You say games then list mods along with games* LOL

[dusty hill]

Look, there's only one mod. Where did you see all those mods????

[tranquil glen]

Ahh my mistake for using the plural then

[dusty hill]

No problem XD

I added that mod just for flavour, anyway it’s an important game that made video game history.

[tranquil glen]

The base game is yea i dont remeber its mods making history

[mellow dune]

links to peer into

[tranquil glen]

I would argue that DRG is very little akin to NMS aside the fact its somewhat in space, and a mining extractor

Along with Dyson though does have more similarity

[dusty hill]

You’re absolutely right, but I made a generic list so that anyone who wants to can try different types of games with some similarities, as they prefer. Also, there really aren’t any games that are truly similar to NMS — it’s unique in its genre and constantly evolving.

[tranquil glen]

Personally think Starfield and Elite are the most similar

But ive not played all those games on the list either (even Elite Dangerous)

[dusty hill]

I haven’t played all of them either (for now XD). In fact, some of the games on the list aren’t even out yet, but anyone who’s interested might add them to their wishlist.

[steep badger]

Who do you guys think will win GOTY?

And does NMS have a chance to win 'Best Ongoing Game'

[tranquil glen]

Idk what the options are ngl

What the nominees

[steep badger]

Game of the Year

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
Donkey Kong Bananza
Hades 2
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

Categories where NMS is nominated :

Best Ongoing Game

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail
Fortnite
Helldivers 2
Marvel Rivals
No Man's Sky

Community Support

Baldur's Gate 3
Final Fantasy 14
Fortnite
Helldivers 2
No Man's Sky

[obtuse reef]

I hope Silksong wins, but I kinda doubt it because GoTY has been kinda BS

[steep badger]

How so?

[obtuse reef]

I’ve heard it’s been rough, but imma be real I don’t pay any fucking attention

I have zero idea why I actually said that it’s BS, please ignore me

[pale trellis]

Idk the game choices seem so weird. Also, why only six games? And why the hell is death stranding 2 on the beach in like, all of the categories

[tranquil glen]

why is fortnite making a return 😭

[tranquil glen]

from what ive heard both silkskong and the original of those two metroidvanias ( i think thats what they are) were like the souls of metroidvania

and honestly ive not playedany of the nominees for GOTY, but i would honestly have to say COE33 because its not a sequel

[obtuse reef]

Silksong and Hollow Knight were both really good and absurdly hard

[tranquil glen]

not beccause the sequels weren't bad but because they were sequals expanding their respective universi

KDCD 2, DS2, Silksong, Hollow Knight, the Second Coming, Hades 2... and honestly ive never cared for Donkey

[obtuse reef]

Honestly Silksong is closer to its own game

Also, it is one of if not the most anticipated games in recent years

[tranquil glen]

iirc game aawards also used to allow non acconts to still vote

and yea silksong was anticpated for like 7 or so years

or so i hear

really

several of the categories are the same 4 (sorry is 4 games) games lol

not really a vote for different games then

🤣 both fortnite and FF14 making a come back

and NMS

[obtuse reef]

I’m really surprised about Fortnite lol

[tranquil glen]

idk why shits taking forever to load imgs

[obtuse reef]

I thought that game had been stuck in the “people still play but it’ll never be as popular” state

Rivals makes sense, because that’s been absurdly popular

[tranquil glen]

maybe we should stop letting games come on after 10 years lol (which would stop 3 of those come 2027)

[obtuse reef]

Helldivers 2 kinda makes sense, because it’s still pretty good and pretty popular. NMS makes sense because, well, it’s been going for a while with consistent quality

And I know absolutely nothing about FF14

[tranquil glen]

Ive yet to re-fully enter nms since like

i think this website hates me or something

I thought I saw a bit of gameplay of it when it was first coming out and I thought it looked a little gimmicky but I really can’t remember much else

[steep badger]

I'm trying to access it on mobile, it's even worse

Nothing loads

[tranquil glen]

ngl this doesnt seem that bad, idk why baldurs is listed tho? its not as communal as every other

i do not mean to say its not, just that its less communal than say NMS, or HD2

cause part of HD2gameplay is intentional squad performance

sorry squads performance

and 2 days ago i heard the MegaBonk dev pulled out of nominee

yey blue prince one of 6 nominees for best independent

blue prince and dispatch nominees for best debut indie game

🤮 why the fuck is destiny here

vr doesnt move me at all

best action, Dark Ages and BF6 les goo

way to go dr jones

this is ngl kinda funny

for a series where the gameplay has been favored over story, they still landed nominee for RPG

MHWilds

[obtuse reef]

The definition of RPG has gotten kinda loose over the years

[tranquil glen]

true

actually only think Wilds is the one that doesnt belong there, the rest from what i heard had realy good RPG aspects

also what the fuck is lego voyagers and party?

[obtuse reef]

No clue

[obtuse reef]

Well, that explains it

Must be like a couch coop thing

[tranquil glen]

The Alters made it 🤦🏼‍♂️

yey Frostpunk 2 did not

[obtuse reef]

I heard like nothing about that after it launched, was it any good? By your reaction I assume it was not

[tranquil glen]

its not that it wasnt good, from what i know its one of those games were reviews were incredibly bad and upvoted for being so because well, "game uses ai"...

just cause some people spotted WIP text

https://www.ign.com/articles/the-alters-developer-confirms-it-used-generative-ai-text-and-translations-promises-updates

Frostpunk 2 people were so hyped for and it didnt make nominee, Im readhy to go tussle with the alters protagonist (one dude not all 20 or so)

this is actually a hard choice ngl

I hear peak and BF6 are great but so is arc

[obtuse reef]

Peak is pretty fun, I didn’t find the stamina system super great though

It was almost comically restrictive.

I mean, there weren’t that many other candidates

[tranquil glen]

Arcane?

[obtuse reef]

I guess? I’m not really sure what the criteria for it was

[tranquil glen]

lets gooo GTA6 and 007 WOOP

[obtuse reef]

GTA6 was gonna be on that list and everyone knew it

You might as well just give it the award for most anticipated and leave it at that

[tranquil glen]

content creators i dont care for, nor ESPorts

welp thats it then, that was all categries

[obtuse reef]

Isn’t Esports just gonna be like the same game with a different number on it? I haven’t heard of anything super innovative or interesting coming out of that section of gaming

Or am I thinking of sports games?

Might be thinking of sports games

best trailer literally ever imo

[feral ginkgo]

I don’t know, it was boss a in Elden Ring.

[obtuse reef]

I made a character in project zomboid (using mods, ofc) that was anti-gun. Not because of any moral opposition to violence, but because guns are for people too afraid to use a sword

[tranquil glen]

heh

ngl i kinda agree, ranged weaponry is cowardly

the invention of the bow ended bravery for most

[obtuse reef]

Oh, entirely unrelated but I’ve been playing Rimworld and something really fucking funny happened. One of my colonists began dating three other colonists while he was married with four children. The funny thing is that his wife just doesn’t give a shit

This colonist was so attractive that his wife stopped caring about the three simultaneous affairs

[tranquil glen]

how did each affair react to the other 2?

[obtuse reef]

They don’t care either

[tranquil glen]

bro is the most charismatic lucky man alive

[obtuse reef]

So, the thing is I’m pretty sure the game will divorce colonists if one’s opinion of the other drops below zero. The thing is, couples have a natural +30 opinion modifier and colonists with the beautiful trait have other colonists gain an additional 40 opinion of them. Affairs cause a -70 opinion modifier. So like I said, this colonist was so attractive his wife didn’t leave him even though he was having an affair with three other people

And the affair modifier goes away eventually

[tranquil glen]

so he is then by default just stuck at +40 during affair but then +70 after the modifer disappears?

[obtuse reef]

His wife’s opinion of him is usually around +100 (same with most of the colony, actually), since there are other mood modifiers

[tranquil glen]

oh shit
https://youtu.be/DzJdTlCPS-A?si=3bYVKoRx5lgsdnr7

that sounds somewhat like clickbait i admit, and no ive not watched it yet

[obtuse reef]

Also, while the affair modifier was active, his wife had like a +1 opinion of him

[obtuse reef]

I heard it was actual dogshit

[tranquil glen]

from what

also

https://youtu.be/rQWRX86wGwM?si=6xWq8OFfqSiCZfXU

[obtuse reef]

I have actually no clue. I think it was either a conversation or they banged

Yes, those are two things that colonists can gain opinion from

[tranquil glen]

makes more sense if theyd banged ngl

[obtuse reef]

Kinda? It gives a decent opinion modifier though, it’d be more than just +1

[tranquil glen]

dont think i would gain opinion just cause a cheat wanted to say "hows the weather" and talk for 15min or so

[obtuse reef]

Counterpoint: Rimworld makes zero sense with its logic

[tranquil glen]

[wraith horizon]

Some say where winds meet is nice but kinda sus since it is a chinese game

[barren sparrow]

Sus? In what way?

Black Myth Wukong was made by a Chinese studio too

Tencent, a Chinese company, ownes shares in multiple large and medium western gaming studios and publishers

[wraith horizon]

They think
Online + chinese + free
There some catch

Like data sharing n stuff

Ik those ppl paranoid as hell but might as well get everyones opinions on this

[wraith horizon]

Holup
Tencent, that name rings a bell

[barren sparrow]

You think they are spying on you? What for? What would make you a person of interest? And how are they getting away with it? What is in China is in China, but locally different countries have different laws regarding data protection with some being very strict and even dictating where physical servers storing that data have to be. Iirc Facebook threatened leaving EU completely at some point.

I didn't play it, but if it's free to play then I assume it had some cash shop. Cosmetics, premium currency and the whole jazz is how free2play games are usually how those games are monetized so the studio can keep the lights on.

"If it's free then you are the product" usually refers to things like social media, services that are free but display ads or even use your data for targeted advertising.

You might remember them from buying 25% of Ubisoft earlier this year.

[wraith horizon]

Ay chill
Me personally i know their overall plan and business model to an extent so i aint scared
I only get scared when a company's exact revenue source is unknown or questionable

Its just that since a lot of china and eastern countries based companies are making literal fire content
Marvel rivals, wuwa , where winds meet , that one anime warframe game , etc

There are a lot of people questioning their motives
I was js judging who else resonates with those ideals and whether to some extent should i be agreeing with them
Cuz this hate in my opinion is unwarranted
And what data they gonna get from me?
I got 512 gb storage
Thats basically nothing
I aint scared but wanted to see the pov of someone else who might be

[wraith horizon]

What games they published?

[barren sparrow]

Tencent doesn't do much publishing iirc

Not by themselves

They mainly invest

They also bought 30% of Larian before Baldurs Gate 3

[wraith horizon]

Oooo

[barren sparrow]

They fully own Riot Games

[winter yew]

Ain’t tencent the ones who bought DE?

[barren sparrow]

Since 2015 apparently

[wraith horizon]

OOOHHH
They the valorant and league ones

[mental rose]

What's sus is that Ubisoft still hasn't said anything about why they suddenly halted stock trading for their company few days ago.

[winter yew]

Apparently there’s leaks that someone bought out Ubisoft recently

[wraith horizon]

Ayo that's news to me

[mental rose]

Yea, that's the dominant rumor going on right now.

[winter yew]

Sounds like the leaks about em being bought out are true then

[mental rose]

They also cancelled their earnings report that was supposed to go out mere minutes before the deadline.
At the same time they halted stock exchange

[wraith horizon]

Either something diabolical is in works or someone at ubisoft messed up worse than krafton games

Krafton games
Probably the only company i hate more than ubisoft

[winter yew]

Nah EA tops both of em

[steep badger]

There's definitely some interference from the Chinese government in the matter of games. I don't want to delve too much into the details but Hoyoverse (makers of Genshin Impact) moved to Singapore because of 'creative differences'

Could also be due to tax reasons but yeah

[winter yew]

Definitely tax reasons

Big companies always wanna avoid taxes

[steep badger]

The interference could simply be akin to Chinese censorship on films

I don't think it's anything more than that

[steep badger]

This is true though, but having data on players is no use if you can't serve them ads (which Genshin doesn't), they instead make money off characters

[tranquil glen]

Afaik if there is mmo player tracking especially for new releases, its often more for “whyd this crash” reporter than “oh so this character plays with the looks good to them”

[mellow dune]

Everyone spies on you lmao

You pretty much willingly sell your data to about 100 vendors every time you accept cookies

[tranquil glen]

Mom said she doesnt have cookies, but she does LOL not giving em to me tho 😭

[tranquil glen]

a limited time offer would be $30 price tag 🤣

[formal canopy]

Should I buy bo7?

[split ridge]

I wouldn't

[dry copper]

There are multiple paid for systems in Where Winds Meet. It is only free to play. Tons of cosmetics to get that can only be obtained through various paid for systems

There's a monthly sub you can get for like $7, and a separate Battlepass for anywhere from $14-$28.

That's not even including the MTX shop

There are multilayered gacha systems that reward currencies necessary to buy higher tiers of the system and the game regularly gives out the lower tier shit to spin up the higher tier systems

Too many currencies, imo

I'm enjoying the game. As far as I'm concerned, it's an opportunity to normalize relations with a country that does not expose its own citizens to western influences often.

I'm for it. The more China is willing to engage in creating cultural normalization with other nations, the better.

It kills the boogeyman and we have fun together

Ay thats also news to me
I thought they went the semi-warframe route
Having a premium for cosmetics which aint necessary for gameplay but a plus for those who wanna support the game
The game is free to generate that trust

I didnt know they had a bp system

[mellow dune]

OK so being real here

Bo7 has some good and some bad

Good

• SBMM largely gone from MP
• Zombies launch map one of the best we've gotten in years...
• No warzone (best feature)

Bad

• Online only campaign
• Co-Op campaign but no A.I teammates when playing solo
• on the topic of A.I there's a ton of A.I generated content
• Campaign story and level design are...Meh at best, absolute horseshit at worse

Final verdict: Do whatever the fuck you want. Don't let me tell you how to spend 70-80 bucks

Has anyone here played bioshock? Would you recommend it to someone who hasn't played it? It looks like it has horror elements to it, but it's not classified as one so...
I don't like playing games that are too scary lmao

[supple glen]

The first ones decently scary but not super

[dry copper]

I've played bioshock 1-2. Both are fun. Bioshock 3 I hated.

I like the mysteries of the ocean explored in the narrative. Going into the sky to play footsies with lunatics in a circus robbed me of the mysticism of the original narrative.

[supple glen]

Wym 1-3 but not liking 4the dlc for 2?

I thought there was only 3 bioshock

[split ridge]

They have bioshock the collection on sale on xbox for 10 bucks. Has the first 3

[dry copper]

You're right. Bioshock 3 is the one I hated.

Bioshock Infinite

[raven frost]

that's... surprisingly cheap considering megatech is supposed to be endgame content

[narrow wagon]

its like mid/end so i'm kinda surprised lol

[raven frost]

I'm likely very heavily biased. I had one save where I managed to get enough resources that I could easily afford this

[narrow wagon]

this is the orbital platform mats and this is only stage 1/?? 😭

[narrow wagon]

my save is so poor 😭

[raven frost]

at least it's not shitloads of nanocarbon 🤷

[blazing phoenix]

Whatever I installed makes it so I have infinite o2 so that's not an issue

[tranquil glen]

Bros already started with mods wow

[blazing phoenix]

Did u not see the cyberpunk pistol & tattoos?

[tranquil glen]

nope, cause i havent played enough 2077 either

[pure zinc]

Yea its kinda funny to me how many people just avoid the vanilla game if possible. My little brother claims to have “beat fall out 4” but when i asked to see his save file, it was all stacked out with modded weapons, armor, characters and wasn’t even really fall out anymore 😭

[tranquil glen]

I dont get why ngl asidr from maybe a ingame recipe rememberer or smthn for help base building mat gatherin

You don’t need modded weapons

[mental rose]

I played through vanilla FO4.
Primarily because at the time I wasn't aware of Mod Organizer 2 yet.

[mental rose]

I thought it seemed familiar...
I was like "They have Johnny's pistol in Starfield?"

[blazing phoenix]

Best pistol of all time, it has insane customization aswell.

[tranquil glen]

Free to keep too btw not iust free for 3 days

[mellow dune]

Gonna sit there unplayed for months like EaW

🙏

[crimson granite]

is there really an argument with free?

yeah tradesman is right. Free to keep for good.

[mellow dune]

Uh probably the fact I have it on console and I can just stream my xbox to my PC lmao?

I can play the game without my PC exploding violently from the requirements

[tranquil glen]

So you are arguing cause u already own it rather than arguing that its good its free on steam or not

[mellow dune]

Plus I am not really liking Fatshark rn

Mostly over the absolute shitshow of the Hive scum class for Darktide

[crimson granite]

heres my opinion. one day in the future you might not have that console and might have a better computer. The steam account probably isn't going anywhere.

[inland oasis]

i have it on pc. it still collects dust

[pure zinc]

Can’t play it on linux

So

was fun for a time

bruh

[grave nimbus]

Stormworks is a crazy pull from that lol but fair

[mellow dune]

Running 4 sticks makes your overall memory speed slower

2x16GB is much faster than 4x8GB

your CPU is dual channel

ergo you should have 2 identical RAM sticks

so its actually using it fully

you're just cancelling out the dual channel functionality by adding 2 more RAM sticks

[tranquil glen]

tis is a prebuild not a custom..

[mellow dune]

a PC is a PC

Once RAM prices calm down a little

get yourself 2x16

Fair me and a bunch of my friends were in a tanking community in scrap mechanic we’d glitchweld because the hit box of fast moving objects would teleport allowing us to use canisters as like armor penetrating rounds it was super fun, but the patches they made to the game made it laggier and the community kinda died so we switched over to stormworks, then everyone started making some crazy stuff I remember sitting in a discord call for like 4hrs with a friend while he taught me how to make gps autopilot we dunk so many hours in that game preparing for wars with each other that we never ended up doing because multiplayer was cheeks it was fun while it lasted though

[dry copper]

[wraith horizon]

In some cases dx11 is better than dx12 right
If so ,Then who made dx12 and why they not fired yet

[dry copper]

It's not the makers of DX that are the cause

It's the graphics card creators.

Also CPU creators

[mellow dune]

Actually it's all Microsofts fault

Windows 11 is playing "Let's break shit" with 90% of drivers

[dry copper]

This has been an issue for years

[mellow dune]

That they refuse to fix because muh A.I

[dry copper]

Before it was DX12 it was DX11 vs DX9

I use DX12 myself.

No real issues

At least nothing I can attribute to X

[wraith horizon]

I was gonna download where winds meet
So naturally with any new game i first check the optimisations and some videos showing the graphics

One video showed that on it dx11 is better and gives better fps and stability compared to dx12 on a modern gpu

[dry copper]

Sounds like the developer took advantage of the DX12 to offload more processing than they would on DX11.

That's not unusual

[tranquil glen]

runs most games fine, dont care for perfection

[mellow dune]

Dx11 is more reliable yet older

While Dx12 is newer and still has some Kinks to be ironed out

[dry copper]

Like an old man thats been hammering the same nails over and over

[wraith horizon]

For a system like mine it borderline necessary

If you can do all

Like I have

Keep your account safe good luck ❤️

[tranquil glen]

me when i dont chat in codm

atlest not often enough to get DMs lol

[slow skiff]

I am friends with some of the highest lv and most skilled players in cod mobile and some are members of the Greatest clan in the game

[torpid lynx]

these are the kinds of scammers that just randomly DM whoever they want

[tranquil glen]

yea, and if i dont chat in codm i can block anyone and everyone 🤣

[slow skiff]

This scam is one were they take your account then use it to infect others

[torpid lynx]

yeah

same type of thing going around Discord

and Steam, so on and so on.

[slow skiff]

I got the persons IP address so they are basically screwed I gave the information to someone I know that works for the police

Lol

[torpid lynx]

huh

[slow skiff]

This scammer didn't have very good blocking on their account so I was able to figure out who they were through email

A long time ago someone tried hacking my discord account so my friend gave me information on how to get those kinds of people in trouble

[torpid lynx]

now if i could do something about the people blasting my phone number with scams 10 times a day with the same exact scripted voice mail about business loans, I'd be a very happy clam.

[slow skiff]

This isn't the first time someone has tried hacking me

[slow skiff]

I was called by Indian tech support scammer and I answered and said "welcome to the quicky mart" in a racist Indian accent

Lol

[torpid lynx]

yeah no I don't give them the pleasure of letting them know I'll answer a call.

[slow skiff]

I did it just to have fun they immediately got angry and hung up lol

I never had anything happen to me

[torpid lynx]

I need to probably turn off the new 'call-screening' feature that Apple put on iOS26

because that just tells the idiots at the scam centers that my number is active

[slow skiff]

I just let the call continue until it automatically hangs up I never pick it up

If you do this they will think the number isn't working

Plus I have it set up so only numbers I specifically say can give me notifications will give me notifications

So scam calls never notify me

[torpid lynx]

yeah I have the same thing going on

my phone's basically in permanent DND mode

[slow skiff]

The last person that tried to hack my discord account I took their IP address and got them in trouble with discord and the police they got swatted

A few days later I heard about it on yt

[torpid lynx]

wow

[slow skiff]

👀

[torpid lynx]

I haven't had anything like that happen

but I did lost my first discord account to one of those 'try my game' scams

[slow skiff]

The person that tried hacking my account was a well known hacker

[torpid lynx]

because it was entirely my fault for clicking something i should've known better

what sucks is the only reason i clicked it was because the person that got compromised was a legit game developer

[slow skiff]

My mom tried getting access to my account she is lucky I never got her put in prison

[torpid lynx]

LOL

[slow skiff]

Would you like to be friends I need a new friend

[torpid lynx]

uhhh :>

[slow skiff]

If you don't want to it's ok

But I will say I'm a huge gamer

And a drummer

[torpid lynx]

Yeah same but I also work a lot sooo I won't be around much except the weekends lol

[slow skiff]

That's perfectly fine with me

:3

[torpid lynx]

I don't play instruments, I do photography instead

[slow skiff]

We can still be friends even if you don't talk much

It's fine

Although I will say I'm also always doing my own things I rarely talk to others unless they are someone I am dating

That's just how I am

Like rn I've been playing cod

[slow skiff]

Would you like to be my friend in codm

My user name is SHADOW-SHINOBI

This is me

I have gotten legendary 2 times in br

And have dropped 100 nukes

[tranquil glen]

do u mean ranked br?

[slow skiff]

Yep

[tranquil glen]

i care not for anything ranked lol

[slow skiff]

You should because their is a special weapon you get after season 6 comes out

It's the legacy weapon

[tranquil glen]

i dont play codm enough to care

[slow skiff]

Ah that's alright

Btw I don't pay for anything I got

I earned everything

Took me forever

I have been playing for about a year now

[tranquil glen]

i play shooters to shoot people for action, i dont play ranked cause its boringly irritating to me

[slow skiff]

Ranked battle royal is mostly full of bots so it's not even a challenge to get to legendary rank

Lmao

[tranquil glen]

i dont care tho

nothing will convince me to care either

[slow skiff]

Never said you had to but I'm just saying there is the fact it's easy

But we can still be cod friends and maybe you could join my clan

[tranquil glen]

along with heavily ranked implied play, i dont care for rainbow 6 siege cause it has no replayability

[slow skiff]

You don't need to be very active

[slow skiff]

I don't like playing games that have a ending because I beat them to fast

I beat halo 4 in one night

[tranquil glen]

how many hours in that session tho

[slow skiff]

A whole night

[tranquil glen]

those hours can range tho

[slow skiff]

Yes but my point is normal games get boring fast for me

[tranquil glen]

so run mmos lol

not session based pvps

[slow skiff]

I love fps games for the thrill I get when I meet other players that are better or just as skilled as I am it makes me want to destroy them more

Idk it just gets me pumped

Plus online fps games have no end

Apart from the campaign

So it's the best for me

Plus I love guns

And I love sniping

I don't snipe like most people do like quick scope

I don't like that

I snipe like they do irl in the military

[tranquil glen]

so youd prefer something like battlefield

[slow skiff]

Quick scoping and running around the map I find to be very unrealistic

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/bf-bf6-battlefield-battlefield-6-tank-gif-5759997800873935707

[slow skiff]

Battlefield is a game I'm planning on getting because of the sniper that goes by veteran grandpa

I want to test my skills against him

[tranquil glen]

hehe hell yea, exactly the reason i got 2042

GrndpaGaming

[slow skiff]

If I ever see him in the game I'm going to try my sniping skills

I'm known for making pixel shots

That seem impossible

[tranquil glen]

you realize he already made legacy on BF6, with like a 1200-1500 meter shot

[slow skiff]

I have really good vision

And can spot people even if I see a tiny pixel

If I can see I can hit

Wanna see what I mean?

I have video

[tranquil glen]

no, ik what that means

[slow skiff]

I will still show for the others here

[tranquil glen]

me who is always weirded out by any nuketown map that isnt nuk3t0wn

[slow skiff]

This is warface clutch it's literally a copy of cod lmao

Which is just stupid

[tranquil glen]

ah lol, also iirc warface is f2p yea?

[slow skiff]

It's fps

And also a F2p

Depending on the mode

However unlike cod it's full of pay stuff

Which ruins the game

It's also full of hackers

And try hards

I stopped playing because they stopped releasing good content

[tranquil glen]

i can see its clearly fps lol was asking if base game weas f2p

[slow skiff]

No

[tranquil glen]

so its not f2p?

[slow skiff]

No and warface is what crisis became

[tranquil glen]

do u even know what f2p is

[slow skiff]

Not really

[tranquil glen]

f2p = free 2 play

[slow skiff]

Oh yes it is

It's free to play

On everything

But the game is pay to win

Hella bad

Thankfully there is still fun in it

You just need to get into good games

Just a warning when you reach a certain level you get booted into the pro league and can't go back to normal servers

And things get so hard that you may find yourself giving up

But if you can get used to it and practice

You will be able to keep up

[tranquil glen]

so get to x level, then quit when unable to normal server alright

sounds good

[slow skiff]

Yeah you get put into pro servers and can't return to rookie league

[tranquil glen]

actually reminds me i need to check coclans

[slow skiff]

So rank 20 and above is pro league

From what Google says

Which is honestly stupid because it should be a higher number

rank 20 happens fast

It should be like rank 60

Or above

Or something like 100

And above

That way it's more balanced

And when you get into pro league the game becomes hard because you will be finding lots of p2w players

And try hards

Almost always

Thankfully there is several different servers in pro league you can choose to play on

The trick is to switch to a server that is less full

[tranquil glen]

fun fact,another game mode idgaf for is cod zombies, except maybe bo6 and codm zombz

[slow skiff]

Mind if I show you my guns in cod mobile

[tranquil glen]

yes i do mind, cause I dont want to see them

[slow skiff]

Is that a joke? Because that's kinda rude the way you said that

Like I'm just offering to show some stuff I'm not trying to brag about anything

I just like showing to show

[tranquil glen]

did not mean to come of that strongly worded, but no its not a joke

[slow skiff]

Plus this is a public chat room so I can still show and you don't need to look

[verbal plume]

i love it when third shift calls out and the managers dont do anything

they havent answered any of my calls or texts

[tranquil glen]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sleeping-gif-12172689655244550594

[austere lance]

Could be worse. My job is so fuckin toxic that all of these positions "opened up" recently

[tranquil glen]

meat and produce, or team lead for both same time?

[verbal plume]

16 hour shift here we go!!

and i work again tomorrow

i will not be showing up!

[austere lance]

One Team Lead oversees both

[austere lance]

Fuck em

[tranquil glen]

ouch

[verbal plume]

They're crazy if they think im gonna work tomorrow after this lol

[austere lance]

Fuck em

[tranquil glen]

black ops timeline is confusing

WaW, bo1, Cold War, bo6, bo2, bo7, bo4, bo3

[verbal plume]

gta 4 🙏

ultimate alliance 🙏

[tranquil glen]

lets gooo, hitman deathloop batmam and doom!

and skyrim nice

[wraith horizon]

Anyone who has played where winds meet
Can i have multiple character models i can switch between at any moment cuz im getting some godly ideas

[prime pivot]

Or they cleaned house

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/flexing-muscles-powerful-kissing-arms-guns-gif-13719159

Guns

[dry copper]

no

[dry copper]

That's actually grounds to close down shop

If the management isn't answering, a business isn't expected to run itself.

People not showing up for work, that you're even still there after your own shift ended is a huge favor

[verbal plume]

if i had a key and it wasnt hidden, i wouldve

i even called corporate and they said they can't do anything about it

[dry copper]

There are no regional managers?

For corporations they are supposed to have regional managers ontop of managers that oversee franchises.

[verbal plume]

i don't know their number, im off work now though but that was not fun.

[dry copper]

Did you tell them you won't be in tomorrow?

(because they will assume you will be)

[verbal plume]

im definitely going to be looking for a new job. this is routine at this point, the managers not answering

and yes i told them

[steel grail]

I see ghost runner in there and Im happy about that

[steel grail]

But I don't understand why u would have subnautica in backlog tho...unless u are waiting to experience that game in a special mancave with surround sound system and such, i'd recommend the next game u jump on should be that

[charred badge]

I'm still frustrated trying to get any game running playably on gamehub

Or gamenative

[inland oasis]

Better hide yo'self from Javonte. He out here for the loot
