Star wars outlaws as excelent?

Its not rly a space exploration game tbh, you hop between a set amount

[idle saffron]

Excellent yeah, let me free roam with my speeder, fly the ship. Fun story, most adorable pet

And I'm into stealth

Plus, playing cards with Lando - cmon

[pale trellis]

Eh i dont rly agree about the stealth and the story

But hey Im happy for those that find it fun

Either way, the exploration isnt like no mans sky or the other space games, so it felt like an odd choice for the list

[idle saffron]

Def not exploration

Not much in space anyways, the hub areas are decent sized but nothing like those other games

[inland oasis]

another new car. i dont even remember when or where i got this one. its one of the HSW vehicles iirc. ive NEVER seen a car with 2 acceleration bars. by far my fastest car i think. though, nothing special since it aint bulletproof or nothin, just a normal car.

[verbal plume]

BRZ

actually it's probably the toyota version

the gt86

subaru brz

it's funny how similar these cars are lol

https://images.pistonheads.com/nimg/26168/BRZvsGT86_22-L.jpg

legit the same

[feral ginkgo]

Yes, and there’s a Scion one too.

Because those 3 car manufacturers are collaborated with each other to develop these cars.

-# Scion FR-S

[verbal plume]

forgot about that one

haha but yea

it's neat

[split ridge]

when starfield first came out, I was so addicted to it.

[quartz ferry]

I love scions

I almost was fortunate enough to get a 2010 TC Release Series

[dry copper]

I'm very disappointed in the new DLC for Avatar Frontiers of Pandora

The new DLC is completely detached from the main game and you don't even get to play your character you've been leveling from the get go.

Instead they make you play an OP side character with new mechanics that is completely seperated from the main game and that does not translate back to the main game...

It becomes a seperate game entirely inside of the games existing narrative

You might pick it up without knowing

[inland oasis]

[summer elm]

Yeah dont

Its a fine car

[inland oasis]

i love it. almost too fast haha

[summer elm]

There is a bike which got the hsw too

This one

[inland oasis]

almost thought that was the drag hakuchou lol

[summer elm]

It is

[inland oasis]

oh i have it lol

long before hsw was a thing

[summer elm]

Yeah you must have that

That like the best looking one

[inland oasis]

i got mine thru the website lmao

[summer elm]

Its based from Suzuki hayabusa btw

The hsw upgrade like the most expensive one for hakuchou drag

[inland oasis]

what shops hsw upgrades done at? ik bennys is like lowrider and donk stuff

[summer elm]

LS custom

Wait wrong

I forget the name

[inland oasis]

ive never had more than like 10m EVER at one time so i barely touched anything in gtaV even still after all this time its been out. and ive had it since day 1

[summer elm]

LS car meet

That is the place

[inland oasis]

where in tf xD

ive never heard of it

i thought that was an activity

[summer elm]

Oh you need to done some mission to open it

[feral ginkgo]

Oh, boy!
You’re waaaaaay behind the updates.

[summer elm]

Yep lol

[inland oasis]

i never attempted to catch up cuz im so far behind that itd literally take forever

like, i dont even do ANY of the heists. or havent cuz the four player limit thing

Rockstars matchmaking is just the worst thing ive ever seen

[summer elm]

You need to buy a building called autoshop

To start the mission

https://youtu.be/_VMmM5WzYCE?si=bAhy9oXJhm9FtqDu

It has a garage

[inland oasis]

so, i need to blow 1.6m

[summer elm]

Place to modify your vehicle

[inland oasis]

xD

[summer elm]

Yeah

[inland oasis]

thatll be about a yr

[summer elm]

Lol

[inland oasis]

im only sitting at 831k and TO ME, thats a comfortable spot cuz i can buy ammo without thinking, car insurance payouts are whatever etc. xD anything under 100k i feel like i have 25cents to my name

but tbh thats abysmally broke

[summer elm]

Welp

As long as you have fun i guess

[inland oasis]

i just dont know the most effiecient route or loop of gameplay in order to maximize my money.

right now i do a loop of, G's stash, stash-house too, then hit the NC safe if its over 100k. do the possible mission for popularity. then hit up my hangar buy product, same with my warehouse. and lastly, swap to a pvt lobby and sell everything in my M-Lab. and ressuply after

after alllll that, idk what to do rly, cuz like i said being a solo and tryna connect to random people for anything is just a hassle rly

more loading screens and disconnects than even playing

[summer elm]

Do cluckin bell heist

[inland oasis]

Owned properties: CEO building, Warehouse, Nightclub, MC clubhouse, M-lab, facility, Hangar. and i think thats all i can remember

[inland oasis]

main character to look for? thats vincent right?

[summer elm]

Yes

[inland oasis]

think i have a few times. also soloable iirc right

[summer elm]

Yes

[inland oasis]

cuz i remember who that dude is and what i gotta do so i had to of done it

[summer elm]

Nightclub also very good

[inland oasis]

guess mentioning im lvl 87 slightly helps

[summer elm]

All your item of others bussines can be transfer there

[inland oasis]

100 is like the "end of the tutorial" lmao

[inland oasis]

ohhhhhh okay that makes more sense.

i was thinking each business had its own seperate like stashes of stuff for having to go get and all that xD

[summer elm]

Yeah nightclub can cover all that

[inland oasis]

of all the properties i do own they are at the BARE minimum of how u can purchase them in terms of uprgrades 😅

[summer elm]

Well the upgrade is very expensive i will say

[inland oasis]

expensive is expected tbf xD

1.9m for a fuggin honda civic xD

not literally but to make a point

[summer elm]

Yeah vehicle also very expensive

[inland oasis]

and anything u try to sell back is worse rates than tryna sell games at gamestop.

Best i can do is 5k...

ITS WORTH 12MILL!?

sigh 6k...

ahhh thats why it feels familiar, i mustve done it with my character on the legacy version of gta

[summer elm]

If they dont change it

You get 500k

[inland oasis]

thats how the avi missions were with the payphones. first one 30ish K, then nothing till then end and it gave me 505 or 550k payout i forget which

[summer elm]

Payphone yeah

You get 80ish before

[inland oasis]

gotta do that still too on this char

[summer elm]

Still fine to do actually

How about your m lab?

Is it tight?

https://tenor.com/view/tight-tight-gif-6396435647108975705

Sry

[inland oasis]

fully stocked rn xD

[summer elm]

That also good source of money

Full like 300k if i not mistaken

[inland oasis]

something around there. i think so yea. was in the setup mission Hit n Run lol

the M-lab is a beeeaasssttt of a vehicle too

literal traffic battering ram

[summer elm]

yeah lol

just send anything flying

[inland oasis]

pretty sure that one i maxed out the armor, and i forget if i had to buy bulletproof tires

but thats all i did to it

excluding paint

[summer elm]

it have motorcycle in the back

[inland oasis]

my M-lab, i named "The TripWagon" XD

[summer elm]

its pack quite armor

i forget how much rpg it can take

[inland oasis]

issa beautiful mornin to cook jesse!

like 26+

stock

49 full

[summer elm]

that is something

[inland oasis]

insane either way lmao

someone has to REALLY wanna kill you

[summer elm]

there is always someone

tyring to kill you

[tranquil glen]

afaik not really

its like a separate inventoryt that can build up

cause your dude that calls about settin up the biker businesses will call still when they full individually even when building up in nightclube and say roughly somethin for each "hey this business ready to have product sold, or you waiting for somethin?"

[summer elm]

yeah something like that

[tranquil glen]

and iirc a full nc is like 1.9m on a low pop server

or its 1.9 and then server pop is a bonus ontop of at sale

What do you guys think about Marathon releasing early next year for 40 dollars? I'm surprised it isn't the typical 70 dollars.

[tranquil glen]

ngl im just waiting for enginefall

[dry copper]

Marathon re-releasing is a mistake.

They've already earned the reputation of being hot garbage.

[wraith horizon]

Question for anyone who plays competitive games

What was your worst loss streak?

[dry copper]

Throwing good money after bad. Marathon is trash.

CEO of Larian is kinda crashing out on Twitter over everyone's response to the company using AI in the development of the next Divinity game
https://vxtwitter.com/i/status/2001011042642505833

Swen Vincke @where? (@LarAtLarian)

Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI.

We have a team of 72 artists of which 23 are concept artists and we are hiring more. The art they create is original and I’m very proud of what they do.

I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art. The artists do that. And they are indeed world class artists.

We use AI tools to explore references, just like we use google and art books. At the very early ideation stages we use it as a rough outline for composition which we replace with original concept art. There is no comparison.

I talked about how we use ML here if you would like to know more:

vxTwitter / fixvx · Dec 16, 2025, 7:26 PM

[steep badger]

the place I used to work at fired both of our concept artists and replaced them with a Midjourney subscription lolll

But his reasoning seems okay, like you can use AI to visualise (though I prefer sketching down on paper) your idea

using it outright seems disingenuous (at least imo)

[winter yew]

Guys do you think pc parts like ram and ssd will drop ahead in future?

Or will keeping going up?

[tranquil glen]

depends on how far u say the future is

in thr short 3-10 years, imo gonna go up and up

therafter who knows probably gonna drop but idk

[split ridge]

RAM prices are going up a lot
I had a conversation about this earlier, but Micron leaving the consumer space is going to skyrocket it for a long time.

[prime pivot]

Completely agree

[supple glen]

Just get a switch lite be a real gamer

[prime pivot]

[supple glen]

https://tenor.com/view/jon-hamm-dance-gif-5098290674016424011

[tranquil glen]

which will also rise in price with ram prices goin up imo

"just get this other tech that also uses ram" yea ok,sure kip

[supple glen]

Nah

We've seen this how many times pc price parts go up console prices stay the same, might even get a discount at gamestop

[tranquil glen]

let me know if the rising price of ram somehow doesnt increase the price of consoles

[supple glen]

I had a pc throughout my late teens mid 20s it just too expensive to stay on ultra

[tranquil glen]

stay on ultra, what?

[supple glen]

Why would I let you know something that won't happen if anything trump will make prices go up again lol

[tranquil glen]

u one of the weird pc guys who upgrades every 2 years?

[supple glen]

When I had a pc I stayed on high and ultra yea

Otherwise what's the point

[prime pivot]

I had one up until a year ago

Then I realized I could everything on mobile

Made life so much easier

[verbal plume]

is a 4060 worth it over a 3060

[supple glen]

Yeah that was me pretty much I was like damn I can do eveything on my phone tablet or a console lowkey

Then suddenly I saved thousands of dollars by just buying a expensive console once every 5 years or so

[prime pivot]

Same

[prime pivot]

Depending on the model yes

[verbal plume]

i don't want to spend too much. this 4060 is only about $50 more but i don't know if i should

[verbal plume]

between these two, would the 4060 be worth it?

it's 8gb so i feel like probably not

im brand new to this by the way lol.

[tranquil glen]

yea and thats partially is cause u dont need to constantly be on whateve the max is

[supple glen]

You don't really need a 4060 today or tomorrow but you will later so might as well

[tranquil glen]

its preferred yea but pcs last longer than "OOOH I CANT ULTRA NOW"

[supple glen]

Yeah but if I'm not on the max or close to it a console fine
I grew out of pc gaming after about 6 or 7 years

[prime pivot]

Same

I do it to relax now

[verbal plume]

i don't really care for crazy graphics, i just need something decent

i'd rather use my ps5 for my actual gaming

[prime pivot]

Then get a 750TI

[supple glen]

It's a 50 buck difference even if you don't really care too much might as well right

[tranquil glen]

also i do add that most prebuilt PCs (even tho they are expensive), PCs have more performance being better overall

[prime pivot]

True

[tranquil glen]

and personally i dont give a fuck for seeing the hair on someones face, if the game is shit and I see the hair on their face I'm dropping the game

would much prefer better gameplay/fun over visuals

[prime pivot]

💯

[tranquil glen]

and last i recall consoles almost purely for cooling, restrict their own performance just to keep cool after hours of play

[supple glen]

The ps4 jet engine could probably be fixed if you take it apart and added more thermal paste

[tranquil glen]

the only console imo that was an issue (from what i was just told inlast 5 min) was launch era of breadbox 360 due to ring of death

my ps4 did not jet engine ngl

[verbal plume]

but do i need anything else for a 4060 if i get it though?

like is there compatability stuff i have to worry about

[supple glen]

Xbox 360 was one of the worst but the ps3 had blue light of death and ps4 jet engined lol

You shouldn't no just more ram

[verbal plume]

i'm literally just starting, i only have the case because i don't know what to get lol.

[tranquil glen]

only notably years after ps4 launch did people really take note of jet engine

from what i read

[supple glen]

Ye by like ac unity

[verbal plume]

ram is the memory correct?

[tranquil glen]

yes, active use memory

[verbal plume]

alright

[tranquil glen]

ssds/hdds are cold storage

lol

[verbal plume]

thinking about this one

would it be good for either, the 4060 and the 3060? for if i decide to get the 4060.

sorry for asking so many questions

[tranquil glen]

proibably for the best atm ngl

[verbal plume]

okay so my friend said to get a 5060 instead lmao

and it's about the same price as the 4060

🤔

[tranquil glen]

Iirc 4060-5060 was tested to be like 5-10% differential

Slightly better but imo negligible

[verbal plume]

this 5060 is 40 bucks cheaper than the 4060 i was thinking about

think i'll do that

[supple glen]

Might as well

[prime pivot]

Well then mabey you shouldn't have made it so dame big🤷‍♂️

[inland oasis]

holy shit, the double freedom shotgun is INSANE xD i love it

[obtuse reef]

Best gun in the game, hands down

I would sacrifice all of my teammates in less than a heartbeat if it meant I got to shoot even more bugs with it

[inland oasis]

fr 1 tapping alpha brood AND stalkers is such a good feeling

[obtuse reef]

It has such good energy to essentially just say “haha, no, bitch” to hunters jumping on you with it

[inland oasis]

"Parry this you filthy xenos"

[obtuse reef]

Combine it with the chainsaw and you have the funniest combo ever

[inland oasis]

im 5 bonds away from it 😭

medals*

[obtuse reef]

The chainsaw is actually surprisingly good, it just sucks against several enemies at once

Especially since it gets AP7 if you hold it on an enemy for long enough

[inland oasis]

itll be the only reason i swap to heavy armor for the first time. can it be combined with the ballistic shield strategem?

[obtuse reef]

No

[inland oasis]

cuz i dont think its 1 handed

figured

[obtuse reef]

It’s two handed

[inland oasis]

thatd of been a fun combo

i use the stun spear with it

[obtuse reef]

I don’t use the ballistic shield, I just like my AT too much

And yes, I consider the chainsaw to be AT

[inland oasis]

i mean i dont use it, but ive tried everything in the game at least is what i mean, so during that time while i used it to try it out

that was my idea with it

i am LOVING were getting the polar planets for bugs back rn ❤️

and im not even using las weaponry

[obtuse reef]

I actually hate snow and bugs combined

Hunters are even worse when you can barely move

[inland oasis]

my absolute fave enviroment in any game is snowy winter. shit pops out to me like i can actually see it xD

[inland oasis]

i hit melee just before they get to me and hit em before there hit registers. not lucky enough everytime but almost more than 50% of the time i get it

not the tongue attack tho obv

i do wish i could put Some sight on the double freedom tho

[dry copper]

The way this tech works is awesome

It could completely throw a wrench into the game of chess

A wrench chess needs.

Imagine you're at a stalemate with someone in the game. You both know all of the moves...neither of you will win if you follow the standard process....

Introduce tiles that when touched can change your piece

Not just the end tiles. Random tiles.

[inland oasis]

i dont see a rule in the rulebook that states my knight cant just change jobs and become a bishop XD

[inland oasis]

i saw the perspective of the dude who actually built em

[inland oasis]

imagine how funny itd be if we popped off flares irl when we died like what happens in arc raiders. xD

[tranquil glen]

thatd be alot of flares

[inland oasis]

There would need to be alot more fireproof rooms xD

[tranquil glen]

unable to see shit in many hospital areas

[obtuse reef]

The thing is, I don’t think you’re actually dying in arc raiders. It only says “knocked out” when you supposedly die, so maybe someone drags your unconscious body back to speranza

[inland oasis]

great even worse then. we have to cancel boxing xD

[obtuse reef]

Probably for the best, tbh

I’m not sure it’s healthy to try to lobotomize someone with a closed fist, gloved or not

[tranquil glen]

dark souls knock off ladder 🤣

[dry copper]

One thing I really hate about parts of Frontiers of Pandora...the stealth

It's spotty as fuck and there are parts of the game where you absolutely can not stealth. The parts that you can, they try as hard as possible to give you the impression they aren't cheating

Then you find fucking mech suits just "randomly" walking up on where you're hiding

They aren't even on a patrol route. I have the ability to see their routes now.

They just kinda go...I SMELL NA'VI!

[dry copper]

Someone hasn't done their runs.

[tranquil glen]

👃🏼

☁️

[dry copper]

I'm trying to spec stealth. It's giving me mixed results.

I'll find an animal in the wild and crouch which is the stealth in this game....the enemy sees me one second, then it is like...Meh...I don't see...Then the next second it will go on alert again like I farted in the bush

[austere lance]

Been a minute since I've seen a Loki, lol

That game was great, big fan of nuking myself accidentally with the huge ship reactors 😂

[polar berry]

Okay, now I get it.

[tranquil glen]

i was literally trying to disconenct the thruster from the reactor pad by lasering the pipe off, apparently the thruster got it

[austere lance]

[tranquil glen]

already had reactor in barge

glad that it saves on day start so i can just alt f4 in job and reset

why was i stupid to do the power generator first

next i get on im swapping ships

dont give a fuck, bye ship

too many games have layers nowadays ngl

like comon if i want to shoot somethin can i just have like slow cod

cod without all the sprint to prone bullshit

[austere lance]

Oh yeah, disconnecting everything using their power switches is very important before turning off power 😅

[tranquil glen]

tbf it was the training ship for learning to remove the power gen

least i went from 1.4b to 1.33b from what i had done tho

debt

[austere lance]

Oh man, wait til you deal with the big ass ships and their multiple reactors

[tranquil glen]

ive also noticed they slowly lower my daily rent stuff by 2k per level i go up

[austere lance]

And the big boi thrusters that can nuke if you don't disconnect things properly first

[tranquil glen]

mine was when i started again like last week 532k now its down like 526k

please tell me that i can still chose the tier 5 ships

or does it lock tier at a point and only upwards

Those writers are lazy. Asking a writer to produce a writing sample on the fly isn't that big an ask.

They want to know the writer can write on demand, and work under pressure. They have time to consider when writing narrative for the game.

Easy solution. Don't apply to work for Larian.

[supple glen]

Companies do pay for work done during interviews and even give you gifts to make you want to work for them somtimes

[dry copper]

In the end, Larian will suffer.

That loss is on them.

The writing is on the walls now

What's the release date for Divinity?

[mental rose]

I wonder if anyone critizised Tim Sweeney for "AI is the future. Steam should remove their disclaimer on games using AI"

Such a divisive topic...

[dry copper]

Steam will have a hard time justifying the disclaimer with people using AI to correct their mistakes

Give me an alternative name to AI. Scripted algorithm is kind of long. SA?....That sounds too diddy

[idle saffron]

Digital assistant

[supple glen]

I think this recent larian news is fake outrage because they cool with ai tho, smear pieces
Casuals fell in love with bg3 for a year, longtime fans already liked them from divinity for years

[mental rose]

They did proper justice to the Baldur's Gate franchise though.
That's cRPG fans covered

I don't remember if it was confirmed yet, but some other studio's gonna get to develop BG4 and not Larian

[dry copper]

you're not really establishing grounds to claim it's fake outrage. The claims are of legitimate concern, but the writer of the article missed a great opportunity to set the record straight and get feedback from larian directly.

That said, calling it fake is disingenuous

[supple glen]

Even if fakes not the right word it's only brought up now after they said they use ai
It's strategically timed and manufactured

[dry copper]

No it's not.

[supple glen]

Yes it is it fits the Google definitions alone

[dry copper]

So it is your contention that Larian studios is manufacturing outrage to distract from manufactured outrage.

Larian said they use AI to explore ideas on the cutting room floor, even before concept art is started.

They don't use it as a crutch for artists, but as inspiration for conceptualizing

[supple glen]

I support using ai I work in security where it's used everyday so that's not outrageous for me

[dry copper]

I laughed outloud at this...

https://youtu.be/nM_IwH3YLrA?t=48

Just out of the blue...The most ungodly sound

My only issue with digital assistants is their utility in stealing other peoples content and pretending it is okay

But using it to inspire other creations by a person is no different than a person who draws art inspired by other art themselves.

You're not giving enough value to your rating if you can't justify a 9 when it's not perfect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kVSFFaD5io

[barren sparrow]

If nothing can reach 10 then rating of 10 is irrelevant

You might as well be using a scale that goes only to 9

9 is the best possible score if 10 is not achievable

[dry copper]

I didn't say it's not achievable. I said I've never done it. I'm not going to say I can't have my mind blown.

I never do it, but that's not saying I never will.

Actually I might have lied. I'm checking my review scores now.

I did lie. I rated a velco strap I purchased on amazon 5/5

Swen Vincke @where? (@LarAtLarian)

It’s been a week since we announced Divinity, our next RPG, and a lot has become lost in translation.

Larian’s DNA is agency. Everything we work towards is to the benefit of our teams, games, and players. A better work day, and a better game. Our successes come from empowering people to work in their own way and bring the best out of their skill & craft, so that we can make the best RPGs we can possibly make.

In that context, it would be irresponsible for us not to evaluate new technologies. However, our processes are always evolving, and where they are not efficient or fail to align with who we are, we will make changes.

To give you more insight, we’ll do an AMA featuring our different departments after the holiday break, in which you’ll get the opportunity to ask us any questions you have about Divinity and our dev process directly.

We’ll announce the date in the new year. In the meantime, I wish you all happy holidays!

[jade crater]

yup

[plucky mesa]

I never had a save that I paid any attention to. In GTA V - this is how I play:

I carjack a car
I run some people down
I then spend all my time running from the cops

I don't care about anything in the game as far as story or whatever - I just want to run from the cops.

And I need to run people down to get them on my ass.

Game looks pretty good with raytacing at night, etc. (Just went from GTX 1080Ti to RTX 5080)

[austere lance]

But playing the story gets you better guns and cars for causing chaos with, lol

[prime pivot]

That's a sizeable jump

[plucky mesa]

Well, 1080Ti is the GOAT. It plays NMS so well at 1440p all Ultra (75-80fps) that it wasn't until driver support ended in October that I started looking at moving up to Win 11 and a new RTX.

1080Ti is faster than RTX 3060 and has more RAM than the RTX 3080. So they weren't really notable "upgrades" -- for me (who only really cares about NMS).

It lacks DLSS and realtime raytracing, but I didn't need upscaling for NMS with the 1080Ti, and NMS doesn't use RT ofc.

Bah Meta Quest app is AWLAYS updating and forcing me to reboot

I don't often use the headset (Rift S).

[plucky mesa]

Other than running up a mountain from the cops, GTA isn't my cup of tea.

[prime pivot]

I am looking at getting the quest 3

[austere lance]

Ah yes, stop gamers from being able to afford consoles and PCs by yoinking all the RAM for AI horseshit then use said AI horseshit to teach AI to play games. Nvidia really said "Let's add insult to injury" 💀

How's the combat compared to the first game? I saw that they changed the stance stuff @verbal plume

[verbal plume]

it's really only different weapons as the stances

you have katana, dual katana, yari and kusarigama, these are LT and x,y,b,a like the first game

and Odachi

[verbal plume]

As LT and RT instead of x,b,y,a

the difference is that the MC wasn't and isn't a samurai

[austere lance]

[verbal plume]

besides that it plays the same with some fun additions like black powder guns

Gamer Nexus coming up with a really nice idea for a video soon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lYsO4k7OIY

[supple glen]

Even as someone in the security field I'm embarrassed pre crime exists , doesn't matter how accurate it is because everytime it's wrong Is shameful

[idle saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/minority-report-looking-searching-looking-up-stalking-gif-9548432812386765873

[dry copper]

Going after someone for pre-crime is the very definition of a thought crime.

"You think therefore you crime"

"I think you think therefore you crime"

It is thought profiling.

Projecting.

[supple glen]

Generally you follow someone/track them and wait for them to begin the act not just immediately arrest

[dry copper]

It's going to set courts up for serious whiplash

[dry copper]

At what point is it considered beginning the act ?

Since they would've at that point defined the outcome, beginning the act relies entirely on them defining someone elses thoughts.

The problem with going after someone for pre-crime is the same problem that exists for arresting someone through a sting operation.

Entrapment is easy to fall into

Especially when in the case of pre-crime arresting targets relies entirely on characterizations and profiling that mandates the target being profiled to break the law or plan on breaking the law, without ever structurally establishing a motive

Pre-crime is a slippery slope that creates more villains than it prevents.

I'm not talking about shootings or acts of terrorism, mind you.

Those crimes typically have very messy infrastructure that's easy to cross reference without the need for something as invasive as "pre crime"

[supple glen]

I already agreed above it's not a good system but it works enough to be kept in use

One thing I really enjoyed about Suno was the colorful way in which it produces vocals from poetry. You can sit down and write for a couple hours and then feed it to a machine that spits out vocals that sound like it was always meant to be a song, making you need to restructure the poem to fit a new purpose.

I've heard the craziest songs on Suno that shouldn't work as songs.

It makes me more angry than it makes me sad.

He killed someone.

Steep

[dry copper]

Never played it. I got it years ago. Any good?

[plucky mesa]

I hadn't played in about 5 years -- got it long ago. It's ok - it's no SSX. But I see it's added paragliding and stuff like that.

Tried it out becuase new GPU just installed.

Had to reset password and all this BS for ubisoft to be able to play the damned game (that I bought on Steam)...

I have been playing avatar on ubisoft.

I've gotten to the point the game is feeling more frustrating than fun.

The crafting system requires you to find perfect quality resources....Some of which are extremely rare....but you can only get them by finding perfect quality food which can only be made with perfect quality ingredients....

It's a clusterfrick of one layer of crap after another

[dry copper]

That was the best feature added to Minecraft ever...that whole pixel art thing

Making canvases

I used to play on community servers and we could sell pixel art for the server currency

[onyx mulch]

yes yes

[dry copper]

I finally sat down and watched the movie Bohemian Rhapsody

I wasn't surprised by most of it but the movie really tried to humanize Freddie Mercury while at the same time telling you in no uncertain terms that Superstar Freddie Mercury will not be humanized

Got x4 but I'm kinda lost, anyone got a tutorial or a discord server for the game I could join?

[dry copper]

Foundations?

I'd ask first what you're hoping to get out of it.

X4 is pretty deep.

It has a lot of systems within systems.

If you are looking for a just getting started tutorial that's not gunna touch on stuff like scheduling logistics or managing space stations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_F6kx7ElkE

Hope this helps.

[split ridge]

is it a good game? Saw it dirt cheap on steam.

[dry copper]

X4 is the sort of simulator for someone that loves space simulators.

It's not for someone that just wants to jump in and pew pew spaceness

It has that, but it has so much more and can quickly overwhelm the pew pewers

Why does the moral of karate kid always involve some kid abusing other kids and then proceeding to justify beating them again as self defense?

What song do you think best fits this year? A song made this year.

[austere lance]

Damocles by Sleep Token

[tranquil glen]

Avatar 3?

https://tenor.com/view/avatar-fire-and-ash-avatar-movie-fire-and-ash-avatar-universe-pandora-gif-8109691608492092430

[dry copper]

It only pulled 80 mill on its opening...and that's not great

345mil globally though I dunno

It at least covered costs

Oh wait nm it cost $400mil to make and the 80mil is included in the global

I wonder how many actors in avatar were given a percentage of the take as part of their contracts.

[tranquil glen]

Ouch

[quartz ferry]

Wonderful song

Incredible song even

[austere lance]

Damn straight

[quartz ferry]

Favorite Sleep Token song gotta be Gethsemane tho

Or Take Me Back to Eden

[austere lance]

Emergence is mine

[quartz ferry]

Emergence is also very solid

[austere lance]

Take Me Back to Eden is incredible

[quartz ferry]

Sleep Token and Balu Brigada are my two favorite bands I've found in awhile

Both this year

But I think Damocles is a pretty good song to describe this year

[tranquil glen]

This is pretty insane

A lot of build up to another cliff hanger.

Mgs delta is a fucking banger remake

I thought these images were a progression. Snake, shufflin down an open air gutter> Snake, shufflin even more down in a sewer...

Next should be snake crawling through a roman communal bathroom

The next two freebies will be the big show

Fans of X4 will appreciate this update coming for Foundations

Is x4 fun?

I've been curious about X4 for a long time too, and uhh.. elite dangerous

[delicate sparrow]

Why so?

[latent nebula]

If your into procederal generation and plants and also genetics then florisium might be up some of your alleys, it is a complex genetics plant breeding game only on ios but coming to android its super underated and cool

[dry copper]

The next freebie is christmas eve. The one after is christmas day. Historically speaking that's about when EGS shines the most with their give aways.

Though, they gave away hogwart's legacy on dec 19th this month so who knows

Lego Batman is the rumored give away tomorrow

The leak could be false tho

The leak was wrong with almost every date

[delicate sparrow]

True

[delicate sparrow]

That hyped me to the sky

But all the games after it were a let down

[upbeat bolt]

Minecraft Spawn base one of 4. Building all automatic stuff here Incase I ever die & don't have a space point.
MythicPurple always under construction somewhere lol

[inland oasis]

is this the last year they were doing the snow in GTAV? cuz idk why but i was already under the impression we werent going to have snow xD

[inland oasis]

AHHH AGAIN XD

^_^

[granite salmon]

I just got this game, neat to know

[noble ridge]

Sweet didn’t know this existed on here.

Thinking of after hundreds of hours NMS trying Star citizen?

[dry copper]

Was that story produced using generative ai?

Not even worth getting free, imo

I played that game. It was a dollar store dead space with shitty animations.

Full of jump scares and a shitty story

It's like if diarrhea after taco bell was a video game

[formal canopy]

Ahh dammit

I got $150 to spend. I really wanted to buy Inscryption

That’s tuff

[inland oasis]

ready or not is so fun imo 😄

havent tried on console tho. idk if it supports mods. even if not still fun.

[wraith horizon]

Have yall ever experienced any bad apples in any gaming community?

A bad apple is a good projectile.

Have you ever accidentally farted in your space, only for the universe to shame you with a gust of wind that feeds that fart right to your own face?

[steep badger]

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays! 💕🎄

[muted cairn]

Bad Apple? Lol

[noble ridge]

We’ll never mind… It’s a buggy mess.. right now. Have to wait for patch to fix what engineering broke.

Got stuck in character creation 3 times

Got stock in tutorial that’s broken 5 times

Tried to skip it and had to re start game a few times because I couldn’t interact with items,

Or I fell off an invisible wall through space .

Never even got to get my ship, or a helmet, or even drink.

The controls are way way over complicated with 100 key bindings 🫣

Makes someone appreciate NMs so much more

Like outta curiosity

[wraith horizon]

U let that affect ur judgement about the community
Or the game in general

Like how u deal with them kids when u js tryna chill

[formal canopy]

I don’t interact with the community

Simple as that

[wraith horizon]

Dang

Well-

I guess that works

[mental rose]

Ah. You met Del Lago.

Resident Evil 4 remake is godtier. 😁

[austere lance]

Just killed a cave troll and did a dogshit stained glass puzzle and found Ashley, now there's angry people attacking the church

[mental rose]

Gotta sneak past them, or it's going to be "You've alerted the horde"

[austere lance]

Yeah I had to kill everyone, lol

[upbeat bolt]

[dry copper]

This deserves a without context

It's like someone just casually writing about how they saved christmas at walmart

"I FOUND ASHLEY, SO NOW WE CAN FINISH OUR PLANOGRAMS!"

[trail kelp]

@subtle folio I've always liked wizards but never really got into HP. It's genuinely a blast playing it, and it's caused the wife and I to make countless jabs at each other about our assigned houses. Would recommend. But be warned that while combat is usually good it can become annoying when too many targets are close to each other. Can have issues letting you lock the right target. Seldom comes up, though.

[subtle folio]

Awesome man thanks for the tips!

Got it for free on epic

Saved quite a bit especially since I’m in Europe and taxes are like candy here, overused

Everything’s so damn expensive feels good to get a game for free

[trail kelp]

We did the same. The timing was perfect, 'cause I was gonna buy it for the wife during winter sale.

[dry copper]

HP?

[subtle folio]

Harry Potter

[trail kelp]

Talkin' about Hogwarts Legacy.

[dry copper]

Ah

[subtle folio]

Yeah and damn how expensive games have gotten

I ain’t paying 70-90 bucks for a game I won’t play forever

Hogwarts legacy was like 70

At least here in Sweden

[trail kelp]

Yeah, if a game ain't like...

[barren sparrow]

HG legacy regular price on steam is €60 where I live

[dry copper]

Some of the combos lead you to question why they even bother making a murder spell. I set a guy on fire, threw him in their air and smashed him into the ground with force....I don't think he survived and it was a lot more gruesome than a simple death spell

[trail kelp]

$20 or less? I'm buying it on a steep sale.
Baldur's Gate 3 was the exception.
(Weird spacing between messages: If it ain't $20 or less)

[subtle folio]

Yeah man I feel ya

Hey if you like base building and story’s check out Subnautica l

Think it’s on sale atm

[dry copper]

It better be

The game is old

[trail kelp]

Ah yes, nightmare fuel.

I've played it in VR

[barren sparrow]

Curse effect can spread to multiple enemies and when you avada kedavra one all cursed enemies die.

With how overly spongy enemies are it's a really good deal

[subtle folio]

Yeah something like 7$

[upbeat bolt]

Harry Pothead lol

[subtle folio]

God I can only imagine the leviathans

[trail kelp]

I have a fear of open water and feel like something wants to get me when I'm in open water.

I played subnautica in VR.

[subtle folio]

😂😂😂

Same man

[trail kelp]

I don't know what's wrong with me 😂

[subtle folio]

Gives me the creeps

Feels like I get sweaty

[dry copper]

Spells in Hogwarts Legacy remind me of spiderman who never kills people but will web them up to a car on fire and let it roll over them
