Traded it for a friends preorder and a old gaming mouse to him

Modified mouse i mite add

Ill miss little blue. It served me well.

[raven frost]

I just remembered I should probably replace my keyboard

now that I WILL shell out big money for

get something really nice, that'll last for a long time

[glass plinth]

AH AHHH!

I bought a kit keyboard!

With switches it cost 65 bucks

Assembled it is the single best keyboard i have ever had

EVER

[silver sparrow]

cheep

[willow crypt]

hey did you guys watch the live action Mulan? Me neither

[silver sparrow]

same

[glass plinth]

I did

[willow crypt]

damn

[glass plinth]

Hrmm

[willow crypt]

sorry

for your loss

[raven frost]

I wasn't even aware it released

[silver sparrow]

who-lan?

[willow crypt]

^

[bronze wind]

my gf's dad watched it illegally twice and wanted to watch it a third time because he enjoyed it

[glass plinth]

Why? It only cost me 8 bucks to watch

[bronze wind]

but he enjoys very bad movies so that's nota good source

[raven frost]

either I'm out of the loop or disney did not advertise it at all

[willow crypt]

if it cost you 8 then that's fine

but 30? nah.

[bronze wind]

i'm not super interested in it mostly because of the views of the leading actor

[glass plinth]

I enjoyed it

The bad guy was surprisingly good

[bronze wind]

but also because I was never rly into mulan when I was younger

[glass plinth]

Very emotionally complex compared to what i expected.

[willow crypt]

taking out the comedic relief

and all the joy

and giving her magical abilities

haha

[glass plinth]

Yeah, it definitel wasnt funny

LOL!

I just enjoyed it for what it was

I rented it from spain

[willow crypt]

i can respect that

[glass plinth]

So I paid 8 bucks

YAY VPN

😛

[willow crypt]

8 sounds like a fair price from the comfort of your home

instead of going to a theater

[bronze wind]

i think the bigger issue is the name, like people associate it with the cartoon but it's a real story with different versions

[willow crypt]

i suppose that's why they changed it up so much

[bronze wind]

so people go in thinking it's a 1:1 remake of the cartoon story but fromw hat I understand it's just another interpretation

[willow crypt]

true

[silver sparrow]

(and also thanking chinese agencies accused of human rights violations)

[willow crypt]

yeah

[glass plinth]

Yeah, I dont really care about human rights

So I definitely didnt take that into consideration

Hrmm

[bronze wind]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hua_Mulan

[glass plinth]

lets rephrase that, I dont consider any political body as much better then china

[bronze wind]

that's the basis for all adaptations, Disney's was obviously the most popular

but yeah the lead actress making those statements sorta soured me on it, but I honestly wasn't really interested in paying to see it anyways

[willow crypt]

same

but that's interesting

i don't mind multiple interpretations of an old story

[glass plinth]

Im actually watching a movie on the Spiral Path.

Its a story about the earliest native americas and the basis for there common belief systems

Then over time them growing apart

[austere lance]

Late to the convo but I'm getting Cyberpunk for $20 so I'm not really worried, lol. I also have normal expectations for it, after watching a couple hours of gameplay from different sources I've established that it's just Deus Ex with a way higher production quality and budget, so I'm sold 😆

[glass plinth]

then around 800 years ago coming back together.

I wasnt really aware how much Choco was connected to some areas of south america.

[raven frost]

@austere lance I'm just concerned about the potential fallout tbh

like if it flops

not saying it will but if it did would we have another NMS-type sitch happen

and what would change

[austere lance]

It physically can't flop with the amount of pre-orders it already has, lol

[silver sparrow]

https://www.ancient-origins.net/history/romeo-and-juliet-not-shakespearean-tale-after-all-003155

[bronze wind]

yeah I dump on 2077 sometimes but I am interested in it, it looks cool. Just not super interested in how insanely obsessed some people are and how easily they excuse literally anything CDPR does just because TW3

[willow crypt]

if the story is good and the gameplay is satisfying, it shouldn't flop

[glass plinth]

Im curious about the quests

CDPR always does so well with them

[bronze wind]

I can sorta excuse bad story if gameplay is fun usually

[glass plinth]

ALSO watch for the horse from witcher 3

its hidden in cyberpunk

😛

[silver sparrow]

cyberhorse2077

[bronze wind]

also again where does this "always" come from

[raven frost]

all I know is that there's an absolute FUCK ton of hype behind it, and it's either gonna be amazing or terrible to the public's eye because of it

[glass plinth]

Haha

[raven frost]

but eh

[bronze wind]

there's like one game for reference lol

[willow crypt]

i can too i suppose, but for a game made by devs that heavily focus on story content, that's where my expectations would lie

[glass plinth]

You know, I just enjoy games based off what I play

Ive never been overhyped

Im lucky that way i guess

I mean thats why i enjoyed nms at release

[willow crypt]

im underhyped

[bronze wind]

i think im average hyped

[raven frost]

I've been burned wayyyyyy too many times with upcoming games tbh so I just try to numb myself from it all

[austere lance]

Last time I bought a CDPR game it was the third game in a series I knew nothing about and I loved it enough to do 4 playthroughs and put 350+ hours into it, buy and read all 8 books, then watch the show when it released. I'll be happy if CP77 hits me half that hard (and judging by the couple hours of gameplay I've watched, it defo will) 😆

[bronze wind]

like its cool and ill play it if there aren't reports of horrible performance or bugs

but also im not counting the days lol

[willow crypt]

yuh

[bronze wind]

sorta off topic but one thing I love about some of the Spiders games I've played (like Bound by Flame and Greedfall) is they put a lot of detail into customization

Like I can get a sword but then also give it a different pommel, wrist guard, handle, etc, and that applies to every armor piece and every weapon type

it's limited on an individual level in that there are maybe like 8-10 choices per piece and they are usually the same across a class of item, but it's still a nice level of depth

I feel like that level of functional customization is missing from some RPGs and it's what I really enjoy the most

it sucks that the rest of the gameplay didn't make those games enjoyable

[willow crypt]

that's too bad

and yeah, that deeper level of customization can be nice

[austere lance]

I've played two Spiders games (Mars: War Logs and Technomancer) and only finished the first one cuz it was an entertaining cheap sci fi RPG that didn't try to do anything complicated. Second one was garbage

[raven frost]

individual weapon customization is a massive plus for me in games

[bronze wind]

yeah

Fable 3's Hero Weapon is probabyl one of my favorite examples, though it's not exactly customization

[raven frost]

especially in VR titles, like its little things that make a massive difference

[bronze wind]

but having your weapon change with you as you play was just such a cool feeling

[austere lance]

God I hope the Fable reboot has evolving Hero weapons (but better, obviously). Hopefully with much more options too. And more weapons 😆

[glass plinth]

And back

[raven frost]

like putting a scope on a gun while playing pavlov and actually seeing your aim improve vs. ironsights rather than it being a stat? bliss.

[bronze wind]

visual changes based on functional equipment (like updating the character model when you equp new armor) is probably my favorite thing. BUt at a more micro level

[glass plinth]

I guess from what the devs were saying, CP77 has about 1 billion weapons

[austere lance]

Lol

[glass plinth]

A absurd level of diversity

[bronze wind]

I think what it has is like 20 weapons but with mods lol

[glass plinth]

Like in borderlands 2

[austere lance]

Yeah, you can build the shit out of your weapons

[willow crypt]

i wanna be a melee broot

[glass plinth]

Hrmm

You and I both Zug

[willow crypt]

noice

[bronze wind]

I don't like the marketing numbers, they can just tell me I can customize my weapon tbh

[austere lance]

Nah, Borderlands just had dumb loot crap. CP77 will let you build your damn weapons

[willow crypt]

the diversity in weapons is actually quite high in BL3

and the gunplay feels a lot better

[bronze wind]

I liked the loot mechanic though, Borderlands does it well with different companies having different aesthetics and specialties, and certain types of mods changing how the gun looks

[willow crypt]

mhm

[bronze wind]

But when loot is just the same grey rifle but with better stats (Remnant), nah

[glass plinth]

I liked bd2

Just because I could get a acid spewing sniper rifle with seismic charged

Seriously was almost comedic

[bronze wind]

Pre sequel was kinda fun, i don't think it was as well received though

I haven't played 3

[glass plinth]

2 was

[willow crypt]

just a smaller scoped BL game

[glass plinth]

3 is sorta eh

[willow crypt]

haven't finished 3

lost interest

idk why

[bronze wind]

but yeah being able to make small functional changes to my character and seeing them reflected physically is my gaming kink

[glass plinth]

I think what I liked about the Cp weapons I saw was, it seemed more in line with the lore

Like the delayed reaction nano bomb rifle

[bronze wind]

I enjoyed how chunky they sounded

[glass plinth]

they almost had to show that in the demo

[austere lance]

That thermal katana in CP77 has me MOIST

[glass plinth]

hehe

[bronze wind]

I hope they fix some of the bullet sponge looking boss fight stuff though

[glass plinth]

The nano bomb is just cruel.

Well that is in line with the lore

[bronze wind]

I remember they released a boss fight teaser and it was just running in circles shooting someone with a gun for 4 minutes or something

[austere lance]

Smart guns look stupidly fun

[bronze wind]

yeah those look neat

[glass plinth]

Some people were so heavily modified, a brute could take a army to take down

[austere lance]

Also, the dismemberment and shit is BRUTAL

[glass plinth]

Unless you just take the head off

[bronze wind]

that's cool but if it's not fun then it should be adjusted

[glass plinth]

Im guessing thats why wall running was taken out

Looked cool

played bad

[bronze wind]

or give other means to break down the armor or something

[austere lance]

@bronze wind You could avoid that boss fight completely if you made different choices. I think you could sabatoge him beforehand too

[bronze wind]

I enjoy combat though

The solution isn't "just don't fight them" lol

[austere lance]

And you do break him down, he has weak points that you cripple one by one

[bronze wind]

yeah by shooting it with one gun for a few minutes

it just looked very boring

it's not necessarily telling of how all combat will go but they could have used it to showcase some other methods

i think the video was like 2 years ago though, so hopefully there is a bit more to it now

[cinder vessel]

started Paradise Killer earlier today, and it's a charming game

basically a supernatural mystery visual novel

[glass plinth]

LOl I tried craftopia

It may be one of the ludicrously funny games ive played in ages

they just said, forget balances, PUT everything in this odd game

haha

Im sorta worried with combat in cp77 because guns are a lot less expressive then say sword fighting and such in witcher

Not to say you cant go melee

Im not really worried though

Even if its relatively crappy , Ill be fine

I dont play games for combat much

OH OH!

I did see some interesting news from a QA tester site I belong to, They did the low end hardware tests for Cp77.

Its looking surprisingly good

[austere lance]

Yee, CDPR does decent optimization (at least in my experience. The game ran fine on my shit original Xbone, lol)

[silver sparrow]

WAPtana

oh...stupid scroll jump

the thought of cauterizing my adversaries as i bisect them is intriguing....

cuts down on the mess

[glass plinth]

Sounds like a light saber

😛

[silver sparrow]

true

laser sword

[winter yew]

You guys played Wasteland 3 right?

What the fuck is "Steeltown"?

Finished the game, got a rather satisfying ending, and apparently missed one of the big settlements entirely.

[winter yew]

Pretty sure now that I studied wiki, I missed like 3 or 4 locations.

and at least 3 other factions

So much for replay value, and the feeling of game ending too quickly.

Ok, nevermind. Checked the reddit, it's apparently all cut content.

[glass plinth]

Ahh

Probably added back at some poiint knowing those devs

[winter yew]

Hopefully. How I learned about those, is from studying game endings.

It's all written, it all mentions these locations, but somehow it's nowhere to be seen. Fuck me I even remember some npc's mentioning Steeltown, that's why I thought I just missed it.

[winter yew]

https://youtu.be/ifm8tpcO4vw?t=72

[cinder vessel]

is that a sequel or expansion DLC

[winter yew]

Neither.

[cinder vessel]

is it in my pocket

[winter yew]

It can be if you order it tbh.

[cinder vessel]

so it's a spoon

[winter yew]

Prequel to BOTW.

[cinder vessel]

I'll prequel u

[winter yew]

omg plz 😩

[cinder vessel]

Pentagonal

[winter yew]

Rude tbh

[cinder vessel]

Hexagonals have to come from somewhere

Prior to hexagonal is pentagonal

[crisp sparrow]

something something bunch of triangles

[cinder vessel]

blergh, i'm starting to see craftopia more & more in my feeds and it reminds me of when Ark was doing that

[crisp sparrow]

I'm genuinely curious about it though

[cinder vessel]

I have this bad feeling it's gonna be another of those eternal Early Access titles that does eventually release but it's still in a messy state

[crisp sparrow]

same that's why its only in my wishlist

[cinder vessel]

The devs only have one other game to their name

Guess it may help to see what state that game was left in

So they've done Early Access before with another title called Overdungeon

Hmm, mostly positive reviews, but more recent mixed reviews with people feeling like it was left unfinished & abandoned

🤐

This game should not have been released with English language support. There is a blurb at the beginning saying how they're a small Japanese team and, due to the intended frequency of updates, they won't be using professional translation services. Basically: "We released this with English language support because that's where the money is, but we can't be asked to actually do it, so we'll be using Google Translate." In a card game.

[crisp sparrow]

oh yikes

[winter yew]

🤔

Wow.

[cinder vessel]

I suspect that if Overdungeon was left like this, then one may see similar happen with Craftopia

In other words game may be fun & such, but poorly explained & translated, unless it blows up & they can afford a localization team

Oh well, the devs seem to mean well for the most part, and have some silly ideas, so here's to hoping things work out for them

[glass plinth]

HA!

All the reason I play it in japanese!

Crafttopia is really fun, just a sorta wtf mix of stuff

Honestly, its rare to see a japanese indie studio try such a style of game

More power to the attempt

Still, hehe I didnt mind losing the money trying it, I knew the risk.

[cinder vessel]

well, congrats you can read the Japanese, I guess, lol

[glass plinth]

No no, I use software i got back from when i played lineage 2 in korean

It screen scans text, converts to english

MUUUUCH better translation

[cinder vessel]

Oh. Better than typical autotranslate, i take it?

[glass plinth]

1000 times, illegal as hell

[cinder vessel]

lmao

[glass plinth]

People use it for a load of bad reasons

I dont

LOl

[cinder vessel]

[glass plinth]

A shame so many powerful tech tools arent accessible for that reason

They are TOO powerful

[cinder vessel]

Ooooh, I think I know what you mean

[winter yew]

I too enjoy reading illegal foreign characters.

[glass plinth]

If you ever used project entropia, we used screen capturing to map our drops of ore

[cinder vessel]

Yarhar and all that

[glass plinth]

Or in elite dangerous to map whole world features

ha, funny hexa

I actually have a old scanner with symbol scan tech

It can scan a document with henscratch writing, or almost anything and make it readable

[cinder vessel]

The project, at this time called Project Entropia, set out to develop an Internet based 3D experience with continents so big it would take days to cross them by foot.

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[glass plinth]

Honestly made maybe 300 bucks off that game

the real money economy is just gambling

hehe

Its addictive as hell

A loooot of people shell cash out

So yeah, thats why

Money

Also, what the heck, there a gob of cb77 leaks on the QA tester site, people are getting banned left and right

its a blood bath

gah, i hope none of this stuff gets leaked.

Seems the last few years the QA community is getting hit more and more by idiots

What pisses me off is, Ive worked with some of these guys 15 years and yet they still decide to leak sometimes. I mean, what the hell

[spiral shell]

ok who has seen Prometheus?

yeah I know I've been drinking my dumb bitch juice,,, but seriously I want to address a debate

[willow crypt]

yes

no debate

bye

[spiral shell]

Some people say Daniel got "permission" from Dr. Holloway to spike his drink with the alien black goo.

[wide kestrel]

that movie

[spiral shell]

by simply asking some metaphysical question about "how far would you go?"

[wide kestrel]

in the end they "turned on the ion thrusters" and the ship went fast

[spiral shell]

in the atmosphere though!!

[wide kestrel]

ion rockets are used because of long term fuel efficiency

NOT BECAUSE THEY GO FAST

THAT FUCKING PISSED ME OFF

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[spiral shell]

QUESTION MARKS

REEEEEEEEEE

[unique lark]

And fuel efficiency isn't really a problem out of orbit

[spiral shell]

same but it was an ok movie overall

[wide kestrel]

actually no matter where you're going, if you have extra weight, it requires extra fuel

[unique lark]

Just give yourself a quick big boost while in space and you'll keep going until interrupted by another force

[wide kestrel]

orbit just requires a lot of fuel

[unique lark]

Since no gravity or air resistance to slow you down

[wide kestrel]

you get to the place faster if you go faster

[spiral shell]

that is technically true

[unique lark]

Like for example once you get out of earths and the moons orbital influence and say you were going to Mars, you just need to give yourself one really quick big thrust and you'll keep heading that direction

[spiral shell]

best kind of truth too

[wide kestrel]

yeah but that would take a long time

[unique lark]

But burning fuel all the way between planets isn't efficient or practical at all

[cinder vessel]

you get to the place faster if you go faster
@wide kestrel that's illegal

[willow crypt]

just remember

the turtle beat the hair

don't forget

ttyl

[spiral shell]

https://tenor.com/view/wait-thats-illegal-halo-meme-gif-14048618

[wide kestrel]

But burning fuel all the way between planets isn't efficient or practical at all
The movie clearly showed them using their rockets in interstellar space.

[unique lark]

Yes, you could burn fuel to get there faster but you're gonna need a lot of fuel if you plan to burn it the whole way to another planet

What movie

[wide kestrel]

Not only that, they were almost to the planet and they were still accelerating.

We're talking about a movie.

Prometheus.

[cinder vessel]

i wonder how effectively ineffective throwing stuff into the nearest star and letting its "burps" push your vessel would be

[unique lark]

I literally have no idea what was happening before this I just saw some space stuff and joine in

[wide kestrel]

why not just bring back the Orion Project?

i can see nothing wrong with tossing a nuke behind a spaceship

[unique lark]

But there's no point in using your rockets in Interstellar space unless your changing course

[wide kestrel]

ofc

[spiral shell]

I found Prometheus on YouTube somehow at 4k rez... the whole movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSkjDK5xMSU

[unique lark]

Nukes are almost useless in space

[wide kestrel]

but i thought we were still talking about the movie

[spiral shell]

so ive been rewatching it like some mad woman

I even learned the opening page music on my saxophone

A MAD WOMAN

[cinder vessel]

sormac having a fixated moment

[wide kestrel]

bruh I was being sarcastic

[unique lark]

The most powerful part is the shockwaves, there's no air for it to travel in, so no shockwave, and the fire goes out almost immediately also bc of no air to fuel

Oh

Sorry

[wide kestrel]

I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU

REEEEEEEEEE

[spiral shell]

sormac having a fixated moment
@cinder vessel I like you bunches.

[unique lark]

But still, space nukes, useless

[wide kestrel]

yeah

[cinder vessel]

Marmalade, Error really likes science

[unique lark]

I'm such a space nerd

[willow crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/normal-day-lame-tortoise-slow-motion-gif-14355433

[unique lark]

I can and have gone on for like 2 and a half hours about space stuff

[cinder vessel]

i'm just a mad scientist, i have a crude grasp of scientific concepts that i try to stretch to wrong/breaking points

[spiral shell]

the movies in 4k @willow crypt catch up

[wide kestrel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)

[willow crypt]

i like my movies in 480

[cinder vessel]

lmao Project Orion

leaving radioactive trails in their wake, attracting space organisms that feast on radiation

[wide kestrel]

i like my movies in 480
weaksauce, strong people do 144p

[unique lark]

At that point just put a giant light as a thruster it'll be just as effective

[cinder vessel]

pfft try 72p

[spiral shell]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)
@wide kestrel I have done some work on the F16 aqnd F35 projects that relate to Orion... ye old "use the nukes to make us go fast" approach to going vroooooom

[cinder vessel]

AAAAAHHH

EMBEDS

[wide kestrel]

leon, you know I watch stuff in 2p

[cinder vessel]

obb i watch u in 1p

[wide kestrel]

if im feeling fiesty, i go for 1p

[unique lark]

You guys watch stuff with your monitors on?

[willow crypt]

i like when the pixel color changes

[wide kestrel]

ikr

[willow crypt]

very entertaining

[wide kestrel]

yes, error

[cinder vessel]

big hype when it flickers between two!

[wide kestrel]

hard to see without it

[unique lark]

0p

[wide kestrel]

😳

what about .5p??

or...

-1p

[willow crypt]

only ants can see that

[wide kestrel]

(-1p is when you gouge out one eye)

[cinder vessel]

what if we, got together, and watched in -2p... 😳

[unique lark]

Anyway, anytime someone starts talking about realistic space/sci-fi, ping me bc I would probably join in and or correct them

[cinder vessel]

i want humanity to encounter extraterrestrials so much and have them just fuckin' be like, "yeah so uhhh, you're wrong about this, this, & this"

"Also why haven't you guys gotten into tongue-modding so you can taste these flavors"

[unique lark]

Yeah imagine we meet a species that's like a Kardeshev 3 or 4 to us but to everyone else they're like primitive

[sand marsh]

We will be like ants to them

[wide kestrel]

or, a somewhat likely circumstance: the only ET's we find are just slime

[sand marsh]

they are like capable of travelling light years

We will be to them like how monkeys are to us

[unique lark]

I'll take any type of life

[wide kestrel]

If civilizations at the level of humanity are that common, then we would've heard from them before.

[unique lark]

A single cell organism, as long as it's alive

[wide kestrel]

We would be less like monkeys, more like a new salamander in a cave.

[unique lark]

Hear me out,

[wide kestrel]

"A self contained system capable of Darwinian evolution"?

[unique lark]

Pulsars are actually really good for colonizing and the radio waves we pick up are other species doing the same thing as us

[wide kestrel]

wow! signal, much?

oh wait that was just a comet

im an idiot

[sand marsh]

Wait, colonizing pulsars ?

[unique lark]

The planets in them

[sand marsh]

ohh

[wide kestrel]

why're they good for colonization?

[balmy plaza]

Particle juice

[sand marsh]

or waves

they emit electromagnetic waves

a large amount

but i don't see how that is good for colonizing planets around them ?

[spiral shell]

What will really cook your noodle about Weyland-Yutani Corp

Wey;and solved global warming. And invented terraforming. AFTER he evented functional AI.

Weyland*

He was knighted twice

in the mythos ofc

"Weyland did nothing wrong"

[unique lark]

Oh I've got no evidence that they're good for colonization

They're not

for us

But maybe another species you know?

[stuck geyser]

Is there no map in The Last Campfire?

[thorn dawn]

nope

[stuck geyser]

Thank you!

Which part of the game are you at?

[rigid haven]

Hello guys wooperstake here play Ultrakill

[cinder vessel]

Hey guys Leon here play Paradise Killer

[stuck geyser]

@crimson kelp The Mister just started it. I am watching 👀

[crimson kelp]

Ah, enjoy. I played for 2h then had to stop myself. Love the artwork.

[thorn dawn]

I finished it

[crimson kelp]

Explains the glow.

[thorn dawn]

not sure if there was any reward for finding all the ||forgotten things||

or even all the ||forlorn||

[charred badge]

Pulsars are good for colonization because hyper jumps

Obv

[crimson kelp]

I think the reward is the journey and trying to be.. helpful. To put things right. 🙂

Thermometer?

[thorn dawn]

dropped my phone on my face

[crimson kelp]

Heh amount of times I have hit my nose with the laptop’s lid..

Imagine playing an alpha and getting upset about bugs and broken things; I understand its meant to help devs get their game going but with the mentality of gamers its just an awful idea

Its also funny watching gamers watch an older game they loved

Suddenly its like "did it always look this bad?" Etc

[crisp sparrow]

is this about windbound or some other

[full pivot]

General statements

[crisp sparrow]

oh ok

[full pivot]

For a more specific one the constant complaining that only now somehow games get released with major bugs that affect progression or gameplay and how devs get slammed for it

[crisp sparrow]

yeah ranting about bugs in a clearly "early access" "alpha" game is stupid, just report the bugs like the devs intend you to do and move on or just dont play it until its addressed

[full pivot]

The great Mass Effect 2 apparently still has this bug I just found yesterday that taking cover can sometimes place you on top of an object

And get you stuck there

I guess I'm just getting ever increasingly tired of "gamer culture" haha

[crisp sparrow]

I just dont pay heed to them

[silver sparrow]

hmmmmmm

300 vs 500

[bronze wind]

One is significantly more powerful for sure

[silver sparrow]

so like ps4 vs ps4 pro

[bronze wind]

Nah I'd say a bigger gap than that

[silver sparrow]

ps4 vs ps4 PROOOO

[bronze wind]

Lmao yes

[silver sparrow]

ok

[bronze wind]

But series s is targeting 1080p/1440p in some cases. X is targeting more 4k.

Also x has more storage off the bat afaik

[silver sparrow]

mfw i don't even know if my tv is 4k and i moved my console to the guest room tv for pandemic anyway

[bronze wind]

Lol I have a PC so I won't get the series x but it's a cool deal

[silver sparrow]

i feel like it is still going to come down to launch titles for me

ah, i don't have a gaming rig

[bronze wind]

I just hope it pushes sony to price similarly

I could see $500 for blu-ray and $450 for digital only version

[winter yew]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/09/09/get-ea-play-with-xbox-game-pass-at-no-additional-cost/

[bronze wind]

Saw that too, pretty neat

You're essentially paying $15/month for the console via the all access plan

Given that gamepass ultimate is $15 on its own and ea play is $5

[silver sparrow]

does anyone have any games they play that are xbox exclusives?

[full pivot]

i was thinkin' about ea play because i could look at some ea games im unsure of without having to buy them

[cinder vessel]

[winter yew]

Plenty of lore like that in ME2, yeah. It's a great read.

Pretty sure I remember reading about a planet that had a giant artificial "canyon", and how it was implied that some big ass weapon left it by scratching the planet.

so uh

[crisp sparrow]

I'm gonna retry My Time at Portia

and try to "finish" it this time around

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/n9xhJrPXop4

[crisp sparrow]

it seems... generic?

[austere lance]

Um. Dune is the original. Star Wars ripped it off to the point that the creator of Dune could have sued George Lucas

[crisp sparrow]

love this

no no I didnt mean it like that

I mean visually

[austere lance]

With the sandy planet and stuff?

Or with the tech stuff

[crisp sparrow]

the camerawork, the usual "let's make everything have a slight green-blue like every serious drama movie", the CGI

I guess as much as the David Lynch movie was bad, it had a certain charm to it you know

[bronze wind]

i agree, it does look kinda generic and the music they chose for the trailer doesn't help

the extremely overused bass drop at scene transitions or iconic actions in the trailer feels so cheesy and boring

[crisp sparrow]

exactly - for the people who dont know about Dune they'll think its just a star wars clone lol

some sort of pretty cash grab

this could have been the perfect moment to try something visually more distinct, like say making it look more retrofuture with the use of colour

[bronze wind]

I'll give it a chance because I've seen some amazing movies then watched the trailer and thought "good thing I didn't watch this first" because it is just done so poorly

Like hereditary had an intentionally misleading trailer that made it look like a pretty typical horror

I sorta saw it because there weren't any other horrors coming out and now it's one of my favorite movies

[crisp sparrow]

right but I already know some of Dune, unless the movie changes the visuals/camerawork and this was just a bad trailer cut then sure otherwise I doubt it

[bronze wind]

yeah for sure

one thing I enjoy is them casting oscar isaac though, really enjoy him

[crisp sparrow]

oh ye

[bronze wind]

not a huge fan of timothy chalamet (think that's his name) though which is a little rough considering he's the main character lol

he just has the "pg-13 teenage romance" look to him

[crisp sparrow]

lmao now that you mentioned it, yeah

[bronze wind]

also not really into Jason Mamoa either

Still gonna give it a chance because I love Arrival and Blade Runner 2049

[winter yew]

ok what the fuck

[coarse swift]

That mod still cause affinity loss?

[winter yew]

not sure

i'll have to do a mission that gets it killed on purpose

[coarse swift]

Knock the health mod off it and do a Steel Path

That'll do it pretty quick

[coarse swift]

ehhh

I can't even think of anything-

Maybe if them uh

Defensive Microbots, but if they had Squid Polyp capabilities

You ever get the log for Defensive Microbots? It's so fucking dumb.

[plucky mesa]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhmsiVV0dQg

[coarse swift]

To get it in your logbook: ||Play Captain with the Artifact of Vengeance active. Clear the first teleporter, and dont pick up any items. Wait until your doppelganger shows, then kill it and pick up the Microbots it drops.||

[winter yew]

ohh

[coarse swift]

||The items bit is key, you face the risk of your doppelganger dropping literally anything but microbots if you pick stuff up||

That's the only way to get it in logbook. Another way to acquire the item itself is to run Artifact of Metamorphosis, as it'll carry across survivors

That is, if you end up spawning as Captain

But it wont go in the logbook that way

what do you think the new nms sized game that hello games is developing (sean murray mentioned it in an interview with polygon) could be like

Not the first I've heard about EGS ineptitude

[raven frost]

reminds me of when I couldn't get into my EGS account for a year because I couldn't find my password and when I went to reset they'd never sent the email to reset it

that's my only issue with EGS honestly, the whole thing just feels like a partially working mess

[thorn dawn]

Epic like to target small developers

what if HG's next game is an EGS exclusive

ffff

[bronze wind]

That tweet is so stupid, the issue didn't even seem to have anything to do with epic. The devs literally were like "oops looking into it" then we're like "k it's fixed"

Just another case of gamers wanting to hate something

[dry copper]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6LegIHjyOU

@bronze wind My experience dealing with Epic customer support has been pretty fricken awesome, tbh

Better than Steam, assuredly

I'm not even an epic fan. That's just my experience.

[austere lance]

https://youtu.be/5hO49HF9f9A

What are the odds this turns out good, lol

[bronze wind]

I enjoy how they handle returns, where it's just instant if you meet the criteria @dry copper

Not that I've ever been denied a steam return but not having to wait is a cool little thing

[dry copper]

I was denied a steam return on a game that didn't even work properly. I had 10 mins over the time limit of gameplay (thats how long I tried to get it to play), but steam refused the refund for it. It soured me on the developer when steam essentially tried to argue the developers would be working on the game to fix the issues...It wasn't an early access. It was a shitty game. Whether it's shitty now, who knows. I refuse to give those shits any of my playtime.

[spiral shell]

still blows my mind that prometheus is on youtube at 4k for free somehow for over a year

[dry copper]

Blows my mind that you'd have the audacity to link a stolen video

Knowingly

[spiral shell]

I apologize if I unknowingly offended you

@dry copper if you'd like I can remove the link

Wasn't sure the audacity I possessed would cause an issue with folks on the channel. I deleted the link. That said, I'll forward my apologies to Ridley Scott. Not for linking the movie that has been on YouTube for over a year... I'll link it to him so I can get an apology 😉

[bronze wind]

yeah like i don't mind if you don't want a ps5, but bro

[full pivot]

i prolly wont get a console this gen just because of how little ive used the ps4, granted its just cuz my brain has been consumed by steam and i forget it exists

[bronze wind]

I think it'll probably be the same for me

xbox isn't useful when you have a gaming PC, which is fine since they aren't targeting that audience anyways

series s + gamepass is probably going to be the best intro bundle for gaming next gen

[winter yew]

It's what we're doing for children.

I don't care if it gets broken for £299.

Will be their first console that's actually theirs, they use my Wifes XB1 but she wants Series X.

I'm waiting til Black Friday to see what kind of lit deals they'll have for the Series S

There absolutely will be a console + 12 months gamepass deal.

Jesus fuck, this is it sitting on a One S

on one hand thats pretty good
on the other hand, rest in piss all you poor bastards who paid thousands of plat for these fucking mods lol

Twitter

HOLY SHIT

Is this the new update?

dude

I was going to jump back in on the new update.

everyone was grinding the vault runs for the mods

😬

a friend of mine was running them nonstop trying to get mods from the necramechs

he's gonna be so annoyed lol

the update is pretty cool, not hard to max out standing with the new faction if you keep to a pretty steady pattern

it's an infested open world thingy, lots of new weapons, companions and you get to build a mech

I'm going to give it a serious chance this time. I have a measly low 100 hours playtime.
I really enjoyed it and can't remember the reason why I didn't go back to it.

probably the grind and wait-time between building stuff

[willow crypt]

The grind becomes tiresome

It is enjoyable at times

There is a real feeling of progression which is rewarding

Just usually gotta take year long breaks in between

[winter yew]

Is there options to jump on to something else whilst waiting for something else?

oh yeah there's lots of activities

there's currently three open-world maps on three different planets, the whole star-chart to go through, and quests to go through, just lots of stuff.

When I played before I was decently stunned how much there was to do for a F2P game.

I obviously didn't make it very far though with the short time I did play.

they at least have 'checkpoints' between the planets to give you an idea of what you need to work on next

once you complete those objectives you get to fight a warframe and move on to the next planet

Nice, nice.
I might even jump back in tomorrow, I haven't got a whole lot going on this weekend.

[bronze wind]

just for the record I wasn't saying dungeons is bad just that it's not something you'd buy a 3090 for lol

i mean i swear some people grind because they enjoy the grind, not neccesarily the finish

Oh gotcha

kinda like completionism

[bronze wind]

But yeah I like grinding, I actually get bummed when it's over cause then what do I do lol

[winter yew]

Till they start bitching that all their grind is now pointless. 😄

[bronze wind]

It's why I enjoy looter games or rpgs with more in depth progression

[full pivot]

i get weirdly completionist about Mass Effect and i enjoy doing all the things

in a specific order too

[winter yew]

Oh mass effect doesn't really have grind.

I guess resource grind is a thing in 2?

[full pivot]

it can be

but i was just comparing it with completionism

its not the end result that's the biggest part

[winter yew]

Oh and I guess those thingies from 1 that people say never did.

Dunno I was just exploring, driving around, and completed all the quests. 😄

[full pivot]

i went so far as to find the kinda random sphere interaction that you get if you drive to a corner of one of the planets

and get my money stolen by the shifty looking cow xD

@full pivot they do and it confuses me to no end

Aye, cool dlc, great how you can hear references to it in 2 and 3. In 3 it even is kind of a big deal.

I think. Been a while since I finished 3, and did so once only, but I think I remember ||meeting the terrorist on the citadel||.

[full pivot]

its not that strange to me; a process instead of a product

like knitting has the same type of mentality sometimes

or sculpting, etc

[winter yew]

Knitting. lol. 😄

I guess you're grinding for that sweater.

And yea, for some the process is more enjoyable than product.

Heard about 10 meter long scarves etc.

But yeah, back to warframe, kinda cool I couldn't be assed to farm all this shit. 😄

Did some vaults sure, but that was mostly for mech parts and resources.

[thorn dawn]

[thorn dawn]

[crimson kelp]

WARNING: Bugsnax is slated for Dec of this year.

Finish all the games you wanted to finish

Gaming ends with Bugsnax

[austere lance]

Bugsnax is Alpha and Omega

[full pivot]

It's what it's all been leading to

[thorn dawn]

whats a bugsnax

[full pivot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-v1BxSETvI

[thorn dawn]

i hope this is a stickbug

[austere lance]

The Knack 2 killer

[thorn dawn]

that is not how strawberrys work

[austere lance]

Bet

[thorn dawn]

he ate it 😮

ok I watched the video @full pivot and I still have a question

what's a bugsnax

[full pivot]

why does it seem off?

bugsnax is the island and the bug snacks

and you become what you eat 😛

🎶 ITS BUGSNAX 🎶

[winter yew]

@winter yew
@coarse swift WTF

[full pivot]

pinnacle of gaming

[austere lance]

It's the game of the century

[thorn dawn]

But

what is a bugsnax

[austere lance]

Cyberpunk is nothing in comparison

[full pivot]

OUR ENTIRE HISTORY HAS LED TO THIS POINT

[austere lance]

CDPR prays to the Bugsnax devs every morning before work

[thorn dawn]

and why do you eat a bugsnax

bugsnack

if they're alive surely that's torture

and why do your hands turn to bugsnax

[thorn dawn]

I'm pretty sure this is an actual nightmare I had once

[full pivot]

the truth

like im unironically looking forward to it lmao

as well

[thorn dawn]

what's the age rating

is this like, a horror game with a cutesy facade

[full pivot]

that's what i wanna know

apparently people think its fucked up under the surface haha

[thorn dawn]

" Likely to be rated PEGI 7."

[full pivot]

cant wait for it to be rated for kids and yet still be creepy

things used to be like that

[austere lance]

What was Psychonauts rated

[thorn dawn]

T / 12

[austere lance]

Apparently it was rated T. Odd, I always thought of it as a kids game

[thorn dawn]

games were rated more harshly in the past

remember hot coffee?

rockstar had to recall GTA:SA because it had a sex minigame with nothing visible on the disk, completely inaccessible unless you modified your console/had a memory editor

One of the more recent far cry games had the protagonist meeting a lady biblically POV, didn't even get an AO rating

[austere lance]

Lol. Witcher 3 had a lot worse than that and was only rated M

Or at least a lot more of that stuff 😆

[raven frost]

far cry 3 had boobies 🤪

and 4 too iirc

[austere lance]

And Primal

And Watch Dogs 2

And Assasins Creed Origins

These things aren't new, lol

Ubi has slowly been giving less and less of a shit about how mature their games are, lol

[thorny grove]

Remember primal from ps2

[cinder vessel]

"mature"

yes

[thorny grove]

What a strange game

[cinder vessel]

that was what i immediately thought of, lol

[thorny grove]

Yup lol

The hell was the little gargoyles things name

Scree

Didn’t those guys also do medievil

[winter yew]

Gotta say tho, this one's sick as hell.

[austere lance]

Lol, just got Borderlands GOTY Edition for $4

[willow crypt]

good song @winter yew

i think a lot of people here are missing out on a great game

[cinder vessel]

Paradise Killer

[willow crypt]

w a s t e l a n d 3

great writing so far.

[austere lance]

Talking in another server about why I disliked Metro Exodus and I thought this seemed like good reasoning but apparently I'm crazy. No idk if my game was broken or what but this was I did for like 4 hours til I gave up

[balmy plaza]

My main problem with it is how clunky it felt to me

[willow crypt]

supposed to feel clunky

Metro Exodus is game of the year for me, or at least top 3

i don't remember framerate dropping when going through bushes

it's not always desired, but guns in a post apocalyptic setting would be rusty, unreliable pieces of junk.

[balmy plaza]

It was mostly the movement for me

Maybe it just wasn't to my taste though

That being said I had a few problems with the gunplay too

[austere lance]

My framerate didn't drop in bushes, my character literally slowed to a crawl

[winter yew]

Played and finished Metro Exodus on my GTX950 i5 4430, was a pretty decent experience. But on the other hand I simply loved 2033 and Last Light, so, dunno maybe eventual shortcomings I was blind to.

[willow crypt]

ohh right. i remember you mentioning that, Soul

[winter yew]

Movement? It worked. Different environments? Check. Car driving? Great. Atmosphere? Oh boy.

[willow crypt]

those are the reasons i love it. and the story

and characters

[winter yew]

And loved the idea of this mobile home of yours, also gun maintenance was great.

[willow crypt]

yeah. the train journey was so cool

picking up new friends along the way

[winter yew]

Oh yeah, story's great too. Wonder if they'll ever develop a sequel.

or another sequel I guess.

[willow crypt]

these things outweigh gameplay for me usually.

it's the third game. i'd say it's likely

[winter yew]

I guess the ending was fitting, and satisfying, so dunno. :/

[willow crypt]

it was a solid end

quite emotional, honestly

[winter yew]

https://www.gamesradar.com/metro-exodus-sequel-confirmed/

Oh well guess that's good to know. 😄

[willow crypt]

the drive back where ||the father slowly dies in the passenger seat|| and the particular song playing actually made me quite emotional.

noice.
