No one is going to judge you for watching it while you drunkenly curl your hair.
@spiral shell I will. The only reason that video hasn't come down after so long is because of ABC not doing their job. The failure of a company to secure itself from exploitation is not an invitation to exploit it - and that a mod never removed your publication of stolen content without license is shameful.

It's going to take a long time for copyright integrity to reach the point where youtube takes down the right videos for the right reasons. They receive 500 hours of content a minute and their automated system is shit at detecting content that's not encoded the same way as the original - and that's second to the fact they have at least three different departments that don't properly speak to one another on issues. A copyright claim doesn't reach the same department as a report on other issues, for instance, and then there's the problem of special licensing given to content protection firms to take down other peoples content if they deem it themselves to violate their copyright - and that's been abused to hell and back...It's a clusterf of mismanagement because the system has too many hands on the wheel that directs consumer trust.
full pivot
yeah that's why its annoying when they do take down innocuous stuff
and actively resist reversing that decision
dry copper
It sucks because the people who do the job of content management have a serious role to fill and it's as if ABC hired the position out to an intern whose experiences include: Snapchat, Tik Tok, Eating Tacos on Tuesday
One wonders what credentials you'd need to work in the role of content integrity management for google.
full pivot
they probably did
i guess everyone should probably have reported the link too but i forgot
dry copper
Technically google makes it very difficult to report copyright of content not owned by you
They have done this on purpose to limit the instances of false positives.
The only strategy available for reporting third party copyright content violations is through the DMCA report system at DMCA.com
and they're just a talking head...They only have to tell the content owner what's happening
Used to be able to report content theft for a third party,but not anymore.
Too many bad apples.

Shelter is garbage.
One of my most played games on Steam. 😤
Stupid fucking idle game.
willow crypt
mhm
cinder vessel
more stable than core fallout titles tho 
willow crypt
but Leon, i do hope their future games are more stable
bronze wind
i remember near FO4 launch I got a progression bug that made one of the core story quests impossible for me
thankfully the engine has the dev console where you can just set your quest progress via commands
so i skipped a stage and it was all good
winter yew
I had Codsworth get stuck with his flamer on and just running around fucking shit up.
bronze wind
hell yeah
cinder vessel
skyrim was the more stable of their games for me, but also least interesting to me, lol
winter yew
I found Skyrim more fun when I noticed I could fast travel rather than walk.
Some of the distances are insane.
cinder vessel
I like the scifi parts from Fallout more than the setting tbh
bronze wind
for me skyrim is just the perfect size for an open world game, which is maybe one of the reasons its so popular. Like, it's big enough to have separate regions, but small enough that I never felt like there were just flat spots that clearly were just filler with nothing going on
obviously there's the space between POIs but most POIs were interesting and had some story to them. And ones that didn't sometimes were relevant later.
winter yew
I mean, there's still new areas being found 10 years later.
winter yew
👌
bronze wind
yeah if they went with a more vibrany color palette I think it would've had more staying power for me personally
cinder vessel
felt too familiar to me
bronze wind
I think it improved on Obvlivion in a lot of ways but also fell short in others. But it was much more enjoyable to play as a whole than Oblivion, in terms of responsiveness and polish.
cinder vessel
If the architecture was more distinct I think I may have tolerated the color palette more, considering Morrowind is also kinda drab
willow crypt
castles and architecture is one thing that turns me off from it at times
of course there are exceptions
like this
i like that for some reason
cinder vessel
in Morrowind i always got a kick out of how boring Imperial towns/outposts were
willow crypt
pretty generic, unimaginative architecture at times
especially for a 'sci-fi/fantasy' rpg
bronze wind
that's probably my least favorite part, I want it to be more high fantasy over the top stuff. It does that in some places but overall it's a sort of bland application of fantasy themes
but, it follows the theme of the region, since skyrim is cold and drab. I just don't particularly like "well it's lore" explanations for why something looks boring
cinder vessel
yeah
Like it's not even really nostalgia talking from me when it comes to Morrowind. I couldn't play it at release, and years after the fact it was still unstable, but what little I did get to see & play of it was more enticing because it felt more high fantasy on some level.
Could have gone further, but for what it was, it did pretty well imo
willow crypt
i like when it gets weird
i never played Morrowind, but those giant strider creatures are strange and cool.
skyrim has...dragons. yay

The volcano isle in Skyrim that I can't remember the name of was better than the main land imo.

I don't think that's true @austere lance , I don't recall sony going on a studio purchasing spree shortly before ps4 launch

There are no winners, exclusivity just divides up the community as much as the games.

They bought Insomniac and at least one other studio

in fact I'm not convinced sony "owns" that many studios

and corporate consolidation just means higher chance of eventual shuttering of studios if they fail to meet parent company desires/standards

If Sony had bought all these studios they'd be locked to PS and that's it. Xbox will have them on Xboxes, PC's, and your damn phones (through xCloud)

If that's something Xbox has been known to do, its cancel games

At least Xbox will let you play on pc and sometimes Switch. And I highly doubt Elder Scrolls will be exclusive, it's a long-running IP. Starfield on the other hand is a different question 👀

Both the companies are fucked up when it comes to exclusives
There's loads of Xbox players that'd love to play Spiderman or GoW, and I hope they get to

they both do the same job, just one is going to net me a fuck tonne of remastered games on launch day

of course the games matter the most, but it's also the console innovations and accessories that make them matter
which is why xbox makes me shrug
cinder vessel
Tbh I have zero interest in Starfield until they show more, given that right now it's literally just a teaser
willow crypt
at least we know it's on an overhauled game engine
cinder vessel
i imagine they said similar for skyrim or something
willow crypt
the quote said since oblivion, someone shared earlier
cinder vessel
more than anything i wish all consoles would do better work for games preservation & backwards compatibility

Especially Sony
willow crypt
yeah

wish I'd gotten a first gen ps3
cinder vessel
And Nintendo
coarse swift
Nintendo probably takes the cake on that one
thorn dawn
oh fuck nintendo sideways
cinder vessel
It's still wild to me that Xbox of all things has better track record on backcompat than anyone else atm
thorn dawn
fuck them hard
cinder vessel
It sucks so much
coarse swift
Took em this long just to put Super Mario 64 on the Switch, and you can only get it till the end of March?
austere lance
Nintendo is bullshit
coarse swift
They didn't even fix the smoke glitch
thorn dawn
I'm not buying it out of spite
cinder vessel
Nintendo's developers are cool af, but their marketing & legal teams suck ass
austere lance
They did nothing but boost resolution

And get rid of gay bowser

I'm serious, they did nothing but boost resolution for 3D All-Stars

Ive put WAY to much time onto my friends switch
Just remember, Nintendo isnt a console company, 90 percent of its income is from slow machines. We are lucky we get what we get
coarse swift
At the very least, I wouldn't have minded them using the 3DS Super Mario 64 port
glass plinth
I say that only partly in jest
coarse swift
It had more stuff
cinder vessel
Like Nintendo has fucktons of cash, right? And they let this studio that made them a ton of money with Bowser's Inside Story go under
Smh
glass plinth
Its a odd company
Still, Ive owned all the consoles
Switch really was perfect, due to portability
That saved there butts
cinder vessel
Switch is a watered down Wii U change my mind
thorn dawn
^
glass plinth
Well, improved actually, from a battery standpoint
Also, graphically
cpu
gpu
ram
cinder vessel
Kind of joking there, but I still wish the dock for the Switch operated like the Wii U
glass plinth
That being said, Im on a switch right now
At work
That alone is cool.
Hrmm, console wise, I havent got anything except nintendo consoles for a decade
No reason for ps or xbox, since pc is superior
thorn dawn
switch needs netflix
silver sparrow
my kindle would do a pretty shitty job playing netflix vids 😄
austere lance
My TV has Netflix and Hulu and Prime Video built in, makes my life easier

Eh, mines a modified
I scrapped mine and added stuff
So i dont count
and yes, you can modify a kindle lol
I think realistically for pc stuff at work, I use my google bock

That thing is beefy for as cheap as it is
Chromebooks have there uses
austere lance
My TV is for lazy people, it has Netflix and Hulu buttons on the remote that take me straight to them 😆

I havent used a tv in 20 years
I have one in my living room for visitors
But i never watch anything on it
I just find it better watching tv on my pc

i need to find a better corner media stand 
glass plinth
I think the ohms run 9000 each now
I got them used, fixed them up, 500 each
I get offers for them all the time
austere lance
Am caveman, give TV I plug and play. And console I plug and play. Big sound and lights go brrrrrr
cinder vessel
Or rearrange my room or something, not too fond of having the media stand in the corner anyway
austere lance
Media stands are the devil
cinder vessel
Might be better to toss the corner stand and just get some kinda wide/tall cabinet tbh
daring spear
Clarinet for scale
cinder vessel
Customize it a bit for ventilation, keep dust off my devices~
austere lance
Media stands are Satan, especially if you're getting next gen consoles, both of em are 12+ inches tall 😬
That friggin PS5 is 16

See, and I already have one of my shelves packed with a PS2, PS3, Wii U, and PS4.

That speaker can break a window. Easily. With the woofer and all the stuff I have attached to the setup.
It also is amazing with games
Mostly use it for classical music
or edm
For other music I use my bose setup or klips
I love audio...
Oooooh! The best use of a Ohm walsh is water sounds though! You can make it resonate exactly like your under water. It puts me to sleep every night
cinder vessel
even used tho...
daring spear
Knowing how to fix/improve stuff like that gives you a pretty good advantage
cinder vessel
that's still not pocket change, all things considering, lol
daring spear
Hehe
cinder vessel
Every now & then I think it'd be nice to learn how to work with circuitry, but a lot of that stuff seems to demand precision instruments to work on some of the finer stuff
daring spear
There's a thrift store near me that occasionally has decent electronics stuff, maybe I should learn how to fix things too
Oh right. Precision. Bleh, that ruins my idea
cinder vessel
I popped open a few old DualShock 2's to clean up, and I'll be damned if I could spot what was wrong with them...Supposing it wasn't within the cables
The membranes seemed fine, circuitboards didn't show any obvious signs of damage, but damned things wouldn't work right
One seemed to clearly be the cable tho, so not sure much I could do with that very easily...Other no idea tho
cinder vessel
One was the latter, the other was...I don't recall atm. I think it may have just been totally dead.
Each had all the relevant pins in the plug too, so knew it wasn't that
austere lance
Got asked what old games I'd like to see remastered, and in my stroll through memory lane to think of stuff I remembered this existed
And this
cinder vessel
Vexx is firmly in that edgy phase games were dabbling with back then, but it's still really decent
cinder vessel
I loved the different worlds you got to run around in
austere lance
Yee
cinder vessel
And tbh it has some of the best haptic feedback for punching enemies of any game I've played
austere lance
Remembered this existed too, lol. This tried stealth stuff way before first-person stealth games had it figured out, I think it deserves a remake with better tech tbh
cinder vessel
Like I swear, I don't think I've felt punches in any other game like I've felt them in Vexx
uhhh S0ul
winter yew
VEXX
cinder vessel
Thief was a thing
cinder vessel
The Thief games were where first-person stealth was really born, if I'm not mistaken, lol
austere lance
Riddick is Riddick. It tried the uber-violent Dishonored stealth before the tech was ready for it 😆
cinder vessel
lol
austere lance
Seriously tho, it had the timed parry-counter combat stuff Dishonored has and sneaky breaky backstabby stuff. And a light/shadow system. It just didn't have tech backing it so none of it worked quite right 🤣
Vexx was hella fun, idk why nobody's done anything with it
So many secrets
Fucking hell, I feel sorry for Australia

Omg I'm so stoked to see this dev continuing to make their unique games:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1396980/The_Sealed_Ampoule/
Unlike usual rogue-like games, you'll level-up the dungeon, not the character, then you'll get...Bonanza Crop of Items! Mass Generation of Magic Circles!
cinder vessel
I don't know what it is about the art but it clicks with me
crisp sparrow
bro that's a cursed Larry
cinder vessel
Like this is a sort of followup to their first game, Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden, and they're adapting that game's art to 3D.
It's always had a...Unique look, that appeals to me in a way.
Also you literally grow organs in Forget Me Not, so I'm guessing you may do similar in this game, lol
cinder vessel
Aah, just finished reading over the description for this and it's a prequel. I thought I recognized Irene
It's by far the most interesting clicker style game I've come across
I kept putting off getting it after finding it until it was stupid cheap (like now), and then was like aaah why not
crisp sparrow
cinder vessel
and yet they haven't managed to get people to buy more from their own storefront

Huh, I deleted all the save files for Rodina but the game still has them and I can play them.
Is this is a sign about my NMS save file worries regarding the update?
Or am I going mad from working the night shift constantly?
steel sigil
cinder vessel
speaking of Ark i don't know how anyone can play it vanilla
it sounds nightmarishly grindy for no good reason
steel sigil
I thought it looked super promising during alpha
and then they changed things
same happened to starbound
😦
wet warren
Or even if you're playing it vanilla, I don't get how anyone would ever enjoy it at base settings
cinder vessel
i think that's what I meant depending on what you mean by that
wet warren
Ahh. Thought you meant like actual mods
cinder vessel
Like whatever the normal game settings are, they sound ridiculous to me
wet warren
Also if they could actually just focus on optimizing the game instead of constantly pumping out new maps and dinos then that would be greatly appreciated
cinder vessel
Like they left it to you to balance yourself and gave up
wet warren
Though knowing them they are likely never going to do that
Yeah know I don't want to spend days trying to tame a dino only to have it messed up by something completely stupid and out of my control
crisp sparrow
Speaking of starbound
Tried playing it again today for a bit
And there's some weird flickering now
steel sigil
I really miss the alpha and early beta of starbound. they just sucked all of the joy out of that game by the time release came around
crisp sparrow
Kinda the same that happened to me on NMS for a while during 2.6 experimental
As in I see my desktop in flickers
cinder vessel
weird
crisp sparrow
I have to guess its to do with my graphics driver because even now I can't open AMD Radeon
golden gull
Anyone here play Helldivers?
Another game I can back while waiting for the update and it is as stupidly fun as I remember it being.
Mostly because of the silliness of the friendly fire mechanic.
