It seems to me that people aren’t as ready to pass it off as surface level because of a couple of transphobic things the company has said.
Because in my brain caramelldansen and Waka Laka are virtually the same song and you got them both stuck in my head, you get this now lol. @daring spear

I was big into the DDR scene however long ago. >.>
oh boy
Yeah uh.. it's a trip lol.
yeah, the marketing has been where it's been crossing lines more than the game, from what I've read in reviews/x hours played articles so far
Well and that's what I was meaning. Maybe the person in charge of posting shit on social media was a dumbass and didn't know?
And I'm pretty sure they also got FIRED.
They did, but then it still continued in milder ways
oshit...
CDPR put Denuvo on the review builds of Cyberpunk 2077 
Woot off work, about to head to a co-workers place for some DnD and pizza
Wheeee! 
lmao

Red wants an invite!
2 medium 2 topping each for 5.99 ea
Or we have a carryout special. Large 3 topping 7.99
But since I work here I can basically put whatever I want on it xD
I need this 😍
I've never had a Brooklyn style pizza and we make those, tempted to one of these times
Well that was a clusterfuck to read. 😄
that's really pretty
oooo
I'll be honest, I would frame that and hang it up. It could be a perfect motivational poster too
A clusterfuck to read. 
Thank you! I think I have another on my phone somewhere
Might have posted this before
Not sure tho
You took these? 
They're amazing! Very

Thank you 😊
DRM is evil, unless you want to track predrop leaks obv. 
getting fussy over leaks on entertainment products 😴
I didn't read fussy 
@austere lance The problem with the triple treasure box is pizza hut sucks so your pizza is going to have cardboard in it and your desserts will probably have pizza grease dripped onto it.
mmm, cinnamon pizza bun
While you guys are playing that I'll be wasting my time on Destiny 
Okay so holy shit, if you know you have epileptic seizures and are excited to play Cyberpunk 2077, please take this article into account. There are apparently epileptic triggers throughout the game, particularly the braindances:
https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/12/07/cyberpunk-2077-epileptic-psa
Hmm. I feel like there should be a setting that brings it down to a point where it doesn't cause the person a seizure
doesn't literally every videogame have a warning about epilepsy though
Apparently there's not. Hell, they even designed something in the game that acts like an exact replica of those machines that purposely trigger seizures
Pretty much nowadays
did they add porygon
That's a yikes 😬
Do they at least warn you like Aethena asked?
That seems really bad
No idea
I'm not as excited as I thought I would be seeing this
Ignore my horrible internet
I wonder if in CP77, you'll be able to shoot guns out of enemies hands
I'd like to force enemies into melee and switch to sword
yet
Theres already a 43GB update they said is happening, and another update
One they havent disclosed the size for as far as I'm aware
I made this for you @raven frost
Computerman's too Out of Touch to get that
Some early morning post-hardcore to wake me up. This is one of my favorite tracks by Beartooth simply because of how genuinely unhinged the vocals sound in relation to the lyrics and mood of the song itself. https://youtu.be/557mc5ICVv8

@winter yew porygon was set up
They couldn't ban pikachu, even though its thunderbolt caused the problem, so they used porygon as a scapegoat
Greetings
Wow, the author of that article about all the seizure-inducing stuff in CP2077 is apparently getting spammed by trolls sending GIFs of flashing lights. CDPR Stans are a whole different breed
Any type of stan is a different breed tbh. I doubt it's just specific to CDPR.
You gotta be a different breed to be a stan that bullies, trolls and wishes physical illness upon any human / living being. 
And there are plenty of stans in our world that do that, regardless of what / who they stan for.
I understand the concern for the possibility of a seizure triggering but most games have some sort flashing light in them anyway and I'm sure warnings will be placed by CDPR for those sensitive to them.
Neon lights flashing in sci fi is normal, designing the brain-dance stuff to act like an exact replica of the machines doctors use irl to purposefully set off seizures is not
It's dead-on an exact replica of the red and white lights or whatever the colors are to induce seizures
I concur that CDPR will likely have to add the warnings if they haven't already. I'm surprised they haven't. But I haven't played the game to know. 🤷🏻♀️
no i understand that is taking things a bit too far. Hopefully there's an option to tone it down
As of now there's not
are you shtaring at my headgear shtan????
The game should also not be in the hands of most ppl playing it atm.
yep
Isn't there a launch patch for it already?
gonna be a loooong couple of night shifts
I wish ppl would just let games release at their own due time (yes, even if delayed). I honestly don't get modern day "must have it now" mentality, even if it's not patched. So they can then complain about how buggy it is? 
as far I've seen/read in terms of bugs is they're mostly visual, nothing game breaking as of yet.
only came here to cry that I wanna play the metal gear solid series from beginning to end but I can't with out my ps3 😭
gotta remember it's a huge game with 100's of different systems at play, something is bound to conflict at some point
That's pretty good news. Crossing fingers. I like to keep a realistic expectation. Not high, not low.
maybe this 40gb patch will iron out a lot of these bugs
I hope so. But still, I do expect bugs. It's a brand new product. And devs are humans. And like you said, there are a lot of systems / variables at play, especially including the new gen consoles. 
Go back to sleep
Counting bodies like sheep
Aww love it! Lol
So cool it'll be available to play tomorrow night though, right? Before the 10th 
9pm ET iirc based on map Malarky shared yesterday 
I checked to see if the game was checking the date using my computer (by changing the date to the 10th). It's not.
It must have a countdown built in.
Or some initial internet connectivity
Like an authentication sequence
Hopefully that's not going to be a requirement to play...It is single player. Internet connectivity is a big no-no
Prob basic internet connectivity to authenticate.
Yo. I just remembered. New GTA Online Cayo Perico heist also comes out this next week
I just got G$1,200,000 for free, which covers my awesomely discounted Stromberg purchase from Black Friday sale
EDIT: Next week.
Back to my nicely padded G$112,443,239 in my bank account 😆
I got a bunch of GTA fake money too and never played to get it...because I don't care about GTA Online. I don't like PVP generally, and particularly in games I know people are hacking in.
I rarely play PvP tbh. I create my own lobbies by NAT'ing on Xbox.
Yeah, I play co-op on GTAO when my friends play.
laggy and buggy but mechanics are nice.
But most of the grind I do solo.
I also forgot about the music updates!
🎶
https://twitter.com/tezfunz2/status/1335359085353504769?s=21
Music Locker: Diamond Casino Underground Club
-
New world class DJs.
-
Opening first week with @Moodymann313 and @keinemusik & Palms Trax later this month.
-
More music news soon, new radio stations, more new DJs, extra music for existing stations.
https://t.co/LQ33jxjPU3

I'm looking forward to the music. There are songs I was introduced to via the game, that I have in my playlist outside of the game.
what's that?
Ark
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 I found sean murray's gaming channel
@past ivy fuck you.
imagine if Sean Murray stream his adventures on Twitch or something
that'd be actually amazing
would need a lot of mods though that's for sure
Imagine Sean Murray having a life
/s
hmm i wonder what his disguised Twitch name is
ima go play no man's sky for the first time in a few months bye
have fun!
Enjoy!

From most reviews they are saying combat is pretty basic aside from the stuff like smart weapons so I doubt it
Yeah I'm not that upset by it, just sorta waiting to see how many psychos are hugely let down lol
prolly a lot
Yep
The seizure shit is serious though. They really need to have modified that before release
There are disclaimers on boxed copies like every other video game but apparently no in game warning or way to toggle it
didn’t know about that
Aside from literal psychopaths sending the blinking lights on purpose it's still just a bad thing that shouldn't have ever passed cert
no in game warning that's fucked up
i was asking about that earlier
and yeah have a warning and then make it skippable at least
must’ve been an oversight
So well put. Which happens with so many games tbh.
Much larger scale here
I mean, Sean Murray and his team received death threats.
Oh and the journalist who first broke the news about the NMS delay.

People just like to send death threats and it’s just sickening
Psychos abound across the world. And they congregate in greater numbers when they can hide in online social media.
That’s why a lot of celebrities hire people to sort their mail
Facts
My engrish today sucks balls.
There’s so many examples of people getting death threats, that I can’t remember a specific one
It's sad.
I think the kid who made the Fortnite anthems got death threats
Same with the swat calls. Like what happened to...who was it recently? Ubisoft?

With cyberpunk, will the day one patch drop at launch? Or could it be slightly before?
yes
I hope I get time to download it before launch
I think someone said 40gb earlier?
Patch I mean.
that's differnt from the day one
Thank you for bringing this up. We’re working on adding a separate warning in the game, aside from the one that exists in the EULA (https://t.co/eXpPn73VSK). Regarding a more permanent solution, Dev team is currently exploring that and will be implementing it as soon as possible. https://t.co/lXFypnSit2
186
They're adding a new seizure warning
Glad they're going to add an actual permanent solution. Strange it wasn't there to begin with and that it got passed cert
the article is er
"During my time with Cyberpunk 2077, I suffered one major seizure and felt several moments where I was close to another one. I kept going because I made that decision to"
... has her doctor neglected to mention to her grand mal seizures can be fatal?
Sounds like a bit of a risk just for a video game
yeah i mean definitely not a good judgement call to keep going lol
valid concern obviously but not a valid risk to take imo
After 27 hours I finally hit 50% completion in Andromeda, LMAO
I mean I haven't seen the game, but I'm also not convinced that it's as big an issue as people are making out
Epilepsy full stop is rare, and photosensitive epilepsy is rare even out of that group
The standing advice is, don't play video games, because it's not worth your damn life
It's an issue and I'm glad they're fixing it, don't really need to try and figure out how "large" the issue is in order to discuss it
Well here's the thing zoid, what they've described isn't a typical trigger either
I'm still baffled that nobody looked at "Hey, these ingame characters use goggles that trigger seizures" and thought "maybe we shouldn't display the effect that causes seizures"
photosensitive epilepsy normally triggers in the 3-30 hertz range
I have a strong feeling that it's a combination of, there being a genuine scene with a problematic sequence
and zomg flashing lights
30fps is not unusual
That's up to you, seems pointless to try and immediately diminish this persons experience based on assumptions you're making though
They were clearly triggered by something and posting warnings/PSAs is only helpful, not harmful. Except for the case where people took it as some condemnation and used it as an excuse to harass those reporting it
@thorn dawn
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking is the problematic scene
Well yeah, they said it is lol
That's all the article was saying, not "the entire game is a horrible trigger and the devs intended this"
I didn't say it was?
Just warning people and then psychotic fans decided to make it a big deal
I mean you seem to be arguing against things I haven't said
Well I'm not sure what you're trying to say
Tbf. We're all making assumptions. Not everything one reads online is a fact either.
I'm saying the internet is probably blowing things out of proportion as usual
and no one is going to have their brain melted
The devs gave no in-game warning that they had put something that replicates irl seizure-inducing machines into the game @thorn dawn
I personally trust someone with epilepsy about experiences with epilepsy but yes there are varying degrees to everything
It may be wiser to just stop an argument over assumptions from either side tbh.
I'm not treating it as an assumption, I'm just reading someones actual experience and noticing warnings
@austere lance it assumes they knew, it just sounds like a VR headset
everybody playing cyberpunk, while me
No one in this discussion is the sufferer or someone who's played the game. So it's impossible for anyone here to gauge how serious the issue is (or not).
They had to have known, they copied the exact patterns and lights
Sure but I'm just basing my opinion on the actual sufferer lol
Did they?
I'm not saying they maliciously placed blinking lights, that would be dumb. I just think there should've been more rigorous checks around things like that and more of a warning, which is thankfully something they're now doing
I just want the "argument" to slow down before it gets out of hand. Since I know how passionate some "debates" get around the interwebz. 
Like, they didn't just put random lights. They used the exact red and white flashing patterns used by doctors
Again, did they?
It was close enough tohave been a trigger for someone so it doesn't matter if it's "exact"
It's just a warning
"If not modeled off the IRL design, it's a very spot-on coincidence"
Of course but that would be a wild stretch to make
the ones arguing criminality are talking about the psycho fans though, not the game
ahh...I remember taking down an Eidelon in Destiny 2 using a BFG
Speaking of DJ wannabes, you guys gotta see this!!! Lol https://youtu.be/vsKEFlC6EqU
The DJ wasn’t hyping the crowd up enough so we took it upon ourselves to get them going .... THE REST IS HISTORY haha
The choice you're asking to make is that someone deliberately implemented a device to intentionally induce seizures in a video game. Or, they modelled a VR headset and made it flash.
I think it's the latter.
no decks
I'm not making that assumption personally. Some might be but it's a minority
*flash in specific patterns
Which pattern soul?
I mean, there are multiple different types of photosensitive epilepsy
so which type did they target?
Red and white in rapid sequence
My assumption is they just didn't do great due diligence for this type of thing which isn't criminal of course but sucks for those who might have been unaware of it ahead of time due to lack of in game warnings
Red and white blinking lights in rapid sequence, my bad
exactly
And I'm glad they're fixing it but it's a valid criticism and the reaction to the very valid criticism/warning (followed by a link to their 9/10 review btw) was disgusting and unfortunately really typical for a lot of the online gaming community
this seems like a case of not having someone on that part of the game with a bit of common sense
I think at worst it's someone designing a sequence and having zero knowledge of epilepsy triggers, which is valid but would have been nice if they delayed the game more to do passes for accessibility things like this
that’s the barky status
Like the general consensus in reviews (pre day one patch of course) is that it seems rushed and would have benefitted from more time in the oven. I think that unfortunately applies in this situation as well and I'm glad this person brought it up early rather than assuming it was an isolated problem, so they can either add a mode for it or just alter the sequence a bit with some input from someone with knowledge
@bronze wind they do. Game developers will ship footage to check for this. It's not perfect, but games should be checked as part of the QA process for problematic sequences.
Yeah that's what I mean
UK broadcast TV goes through the same process.
I think it's just a result of a rushed process similar to the other issues reviewers have been pointing out
Seems more likely to me, it happens, unfortunately in this case it caused medical issues for someone but I don't think it was intentional lol
It's pretty bad if the guy was using a filter to help with stuff like this and still got a seizure, imagine how bad it is for unaware people who took zero precautions
That's not really how it works.
Ok
Well they are adding warnings and hopefully implementing a working fix which is good
Thanks to the feedback from this person
There aren't precautions you can take to avoid a seizure, and they're not instant either.
There's a build up called the aura, that suffers will recognise, even if they're unable to respond to it
All about avoidance
Yup
I imagine a software filter could be done
something that detects that type of light pattern and either proactively blocks it out or stops everything
Or just put a warning in your game besides the one in the friggin EULA
It's tricky, because it's not just the flashing in the majority of cases. It has to be flashing and motion - vertical or horizontal scrolling stripes are two of the most common triggers
Takes five seconds to add the standard seizures warning during boot-up that tons of games have
swing a camera past a fence illuminated by car headlights too quick, and you've got an epilepsy trigger
If there's no seizure warning at the start of the game, there will be legal issues
@dry copper It's in the EULA nobody reads cuz it's basically the Terms and Agreements thing
Eh they're probably pretty covered by that legally. Just would be nice to have a mode for it or something if it is an issue.
big ol' reason ya should always do an accessibility pass on games (and really, just about anything tbh)
I don't know a single game with a seizure warning only in the EULA.
i don't think i've seen epilepsy warnings in EULAs, used to it was within the cover of physical manuals, but after that...I don't know where you see it anymore.
Often a splash screen during logos?
yes
There's a sticker on the box on the back that has it
It's typically a skippable splash screen warning somewhere
Standing advice to photosensitive epileptics is don't do vidya
lol...I just had a really mean thought. A splash screen that causes seizures warning about seizures
For more severe games it's a splash screen, like I'd suspect Beat Saber might have it
yeah probably
I wouldn't expect it on every game
CP was a game I would've expected it for though lol
I think Rez Infinite does
Have you played trhe game and can confirm there's no epil splash screen?
Tbh I hadn't followed CP enough to even know they had such flashy screens
found it
I thought it was just the usual ol' here's some neon all over
neon sweat, neon veins, neon piss
Welcome to the future. For some reason, in the future neon pink isn't horrible. 80s hair styles are back and everyone is magically more comfortable in skin tight leather.
Welcome to the 80s
Ubi games usually have seizure warnings when you boot the game up and it's doing the splash screens showing the studios and engine and whatnot
Actually that's where I see the warnings for any game I've played that has em
I think the future dystopian night city would be much dirtier and crime filled than they make CP look
Like some third world country mushed into a twelve block radius
Pretty sure that's what it looks like outside the city in the Nomad areas
And in the poor parts of the city
Actually never mind on the Nomad part, that area just looks like Mad Max 🤣
If we're talking the future of earth, they should've used the world where chappie comes from
That's the future 😛
This is ninja to your samurai
maybe V is a child predator too
I wonder if they'll have easter eggs from V for Vendetta in the game
"Jackin' into Cyberpunk" 😂
Guys. I'm so excited for Hawkmoon.
Doing the quest now.
Lol no
it's literally just "we're committed to allowing you to handle all of it"
but the super hilarious pairing of that statement with that background lmao
pretty tone deaf
Indicative of things to come
Did you get it 
Chappie is so bizzare
a feels trip that just has Die Antwoord acting in it for some reason but it works and it's strange
Not yet
...what? o_o
predator children are the worst
they're smaller and harder to spot
then BAM
you're dead
dun
if people are playing the game early, hopefully they're not immediately judging
I wanna play so bad
yeah but i dont know who that is lool
I can assure you it aint me
wouldn't be me
I'm Computerman (or a variant of thereof) across almost all platforms

@winter yew What is EGS?
epic game store
You can probably guess what my EGS name is. Don't expect me to be online much on it tho.
I touch it maybe twice a week to get free shit.
I bought that legions game and didn't like it, so it's a rotting corpse in my playlist.
Same for Exodus
They're both decent games...I just am so preoccupied by other shit
They don't grip me.
I keep seeing people say they want to play Cyberpunk. Man, people need to wait.
Even though I love it, Id never play it until the bugs are ironed out
A month minimum
I mean unless you just want to try it and pass judgement after patching
best game launcher that isn't Steam? 
Well I have no experience, but you could use Goh
Gog
I mean the truth is, all gog and steam do is download files, you still use the Red Launcher from CDPR
Hrmm speaking of
I guess gog will honor steam purchases of Cyberpunk 2077 so you can get all their goodies if you log into the gog account, link the software and load in through gog galaxy
Sorta cool
Nutty game releases tomorrow night (US ET).
WOO!
The day is essentially here.
Right after im off work too!
wha?
Wha wha?
Global release timings for launch: <#other-games message>

just wait
so I've heard
Song is great tho
has nothing to do with the live action (obviously) so Idk why he used that pic lol
the silly part is what i'm playing atm is basically stats dump 3 from Arcen, lol
also i fucked up
i really wanted to see what was behind the locked door behind this bot and i uhhh didn't take the description text seriously enough 😅
This is not the place to be selling this
lol
i forgot how much of an underdog position they throw you in in Bionic Dues 😬
"take on a robot army with 4 remote exomechs, nbd"
"btw did we mention some of the bots are OP"

quickly realize this as soon as a bot comes within range and one hit kills one of your mechs 😱
Maybe ill be able to download it by xmas lol
I wonder if I'll still have a timelock on it after this update....
wait you got the update?
Yep.
And it may actually be more focused on those issues that are really big rn
Updating on GOG
ooh, I used steam
I used Galaxy
Sounded like they're rushing to fix the epilepsy part for sure
That would be cool.
One can only hope and then maybe ill ease up on my criticism of their fans
Nah, ya won't 😉
Criticism is good. It's like the spice in curry.
I had chicken shawarma for dinner tonight. It was fantastic.
Granted it's 3:30am right now....I mean last night (I guess)
I just like to focus on the people who try to pretend their game company isnt a game company and theyre "different"
Also the people who whine about delays and then complain about bugs
The gaming community does share in some responsibility for how games are right now and since they won't accept that its not gonna get better
As far as the developer and publisher; its a business
And being as such its not difficult to manipulate them to do things a certain way
I remember when people were so hot and horny about talking with their wallets against games as a service.
That lasted a whole ....month?
(if that)
Because it doesn't work

"Just dont buy it"
"Talk with your wallet"
Means nothing when whales feed the share you would've paid
and as long as whales exist to eat all of the services, they'll keep coming. I seriously thought we were getting somewhere when countries started banning loot boxes.
EA created a non loot box Star Wars game.
Now it's gotten to a point that doesn't even work and countries that should be on the front against exploiting children are on the front feeding them addictions
The end.
and at the end of the day, they say..."Well you should be watching your kids"
Sure wish I had that kinda money to blow, ngl
But if I did, I'd be spending it better anyways
I hope that cyberpunk at least tries to be somewhat educational in its presentation. I like science fiction fantasy, but I also enjoy learning about something I can apply in the real world.
I was thinking as I was studying for my medical procedures exam, "this would be great to have in a game"
Just the practices demonstrated to absorb passively
Or the tools used in a medical profession shown in the game
Really, I was just trying to imagine all of the ways I could learn things I could use today, in a game.

Weird music. It's stuck in my head now.
I just wanna have fun when I play it; I'm not looking for deep experiences from videogames even if they're nice once in a while
I like to escape reality not be reminded of it
watching streams
i sometimes like playing games that aren’t too deep, but when i try to play one that is deeper and heavily story driven and i’m wanting something more lighthearted and just fun, it does not work.
just feel indifferent at those times
Started cyberpunk
Aside from a few visual bugs and a bad texture here and there really enjoying it
Maybe liking NMS prepared me for it lol
i've been watching a bit of it on Twitch and it looks really good
ahhh wish i didn't have work tonight
on PC?
same
there's already nearly 1m viewers watching on Twitch
and it's not out to everyone yet
Just like NMS getting released on steam last prolly, the race to avoid spoilers
I'm used to this 😛
ye i'm gonna watch a bit then turn off and try and avoid spoilers at all costs
more curious of just the raw gameplay and i'm certainly not disappointed yet
I just don't want to be coloured by stuff its why I don't watch prerelease stuff from games either save an announcement trailer or something
ye i blame ubisoft for that
I blame.... Maxis
Sims 2 and Spore prerelease were absolutely horrible
The final games were nothing like them
i wish they did a 2nd Spore, i actually really like it
The final games were nothing like them
ye it could've been so much more
Just saying it was an awful development cycle
i saw parts of deus ex and parts of hitman in there 😄
Deus ex doesn't surprise me one bit
i'm interested in seeing the whole badlands part of the game as well
haven't seen many bugs yet
just 1 where he couldn't loot something and a couple of visual bugs like objects suddenly disappearing
i tried to watch shroud but he was stuck in game options screens so i scooted
watching a bit of Cohh
i popped into xQc's just cause I knew he'd be doing dumb stuff
he ran by a woman and she got scared for no reason and ran away from him saying "somebody stop him" then he ran after her and punched her a bunch of times and nothing happened
small NPCs
what path are you guys choosing? ie street kid, corpo or nomad
corpo
finally watching The Walking Dead season 10. i noticed they’ve seemed to take some inspiration from the last of us for a zombie and some weaponry
the show is still good, despite it having been going on for so long
seasons probably could be shorter, but they’re good at character development and that’s what makes us care about them
and why it especially sucks when people die off
I quit after Negan showed up
i preferred when the group was smaller
but it’s interesting to see how things would progress after many years, which is what they do
i never watched it but it looked like it got sprawling, like Lost
at times yeah
though it doesn’t really leave so many unanswered questions like Lost does
The season with the whisperers was pretty interesting but how they have handled Judith Grimes has been a joke
she’s very powerful for her size
True
Oh, did they finally show a settlement that wasn't run by a tyrant or cannibals or just nuts?
Well the Whisperers weren’t cannibals as far as I know
They just hide among the dead by wearing their skin
And destroyed communities they found living ‘normal lives’ in homes and whatnot, because they believed that way of living was in the past
Time to try out Monster Sanctuary
I'm starting to get irritated by the file updates of Cyberpunk
Third time this game has gone and updated. Now it's another 9 gigs
on top of that, windows wants to update.....
god damn it
it should peak out around 150gb
With expansions
maybe 200
I mean thats fairly typical of larger sandpark worlds
I don't think it's increasing the size of the game every time, I think it's just updates to existing files
At this point
It's bug fixes, not new content
that patch isn't additive is what I'm saying
So I aimed a bit above when emptying my drive
It might add a little bit but it's not 50 + 50
it's replacing probably a decent amount of the existing 50 and then adding a little probably
Well I mean that is literally what they said the first day one patch would be
raising the total to 100gb
I can pull that up if you want.
total download but not game size, unless that's explicitly what they said
like if you preloaded you'd be downloading multiple times
yeah, thats what they said, if they missaid, well, they could have
if you wait a day you just download once lol
True
Although, tonight when Im home, ill just download the patch
be done for now
I doubt ill be playing much for now anyways
I need to do DOMESTIC stuff
I expect to have about 70 gigs with all the patches and updates applied.
Are you a domestic do-erist?
I always figure on 150 end total. Most of the games I play are that large.
Im cleaning
Lol
I want this house spotless for the landlord when I leave
I geniunely care
Oh great. A home grown domestic do-erist
I don't play games over 100 gigs.
I think the last time I did was GTA and I uninstalled it.
The space became more valuable than the game
Watch you come to find out CDPR are trolling people trying to install early by releasing patch after patch after patch
Or simply shipping the prerelease in a bad state to discourage piracy
I generally play extremely modified games
I highly doubt prerelease was shipped in the state it was in to discourage piracy lol
I'm sure that happens though
Would be a pretty ignorant way to handle it
The Witcher 734
I hope they don't do something tacky, like add Geralt to Cyberpunk
I think I saw some mention of an easter egg but it wasn't dumb like that
i wouldn't be surprised if there is a Ciri easter egg
or a ciri-like npc
And made it to work!
stretches.
Im really working out the storyline for my Corpo now in my head. I have some great ideas.
Corpo, really just screams, play me. Although so does Nomad.
Monster Sanctuary is fun so far, defo recommend
?
It's a better Pokémon-like game than anything Nintendo has made in the last 13 years, LMAO
I never played pokemon, but it looks nice
It wasnt really a game that existed when I was a kid.
I think by the time Pokemon hit the US shores, I was around 17
The Game Awards, 2020.
#OddworldSoulstorm #TheGameAwards #indiegame https://t.co/WuOh9ucZLB
So by then, Id progressed substantially into my Literary era. I mostly would play simcity, read books, write books and do art.
noice
Ah I love that game
Which?
cyberpunk
Oddworld Discord is losing it rn, LMAO
Lol I bet
"it's finally happening!" and such i imagine
Man, watching some of the cyberpunk twitch streams, fricking hell some of the storyline dialouge is good past where I got
At one point this guy makes a mistake and realizes who is the bad guy and you can see his face literally twist in agony.
That was great
@cinder vessel That server is full of salty af fans cuz the devs rarely give any news on the game, they've gotten that tweet and a new gameplay GIF in the last two days and they're going wild 😆
They went from no news to new stuff every day, lol
We certainly remember salty days here
😛
Its great when a community gets some good news
Rebirths are awesome
until the rebirth results in a questionable version of things
Eh
I mean that depends on the devs I suppose
We hit some hitches in the nms community, overall though it was decent past a point
Alot better since last update though
Man, that was stimulating
like even thinking of the Spyro remakes and some character design changes it's like, but why?
I still need to finish those, lol
i still stand by the position that remakes, especially of older games, should strive to include ports of the originals. if not include ports of originals at initial release, then down the line in like a Definitive Edition or something
That way you can better see what changed between them, and appreciate the original on its own merits
Soulstorm is gonna be cool cuz it's basically the version of Abe's Exodus that Lorne Lanning always had in his head, it's just now he finally has the tech to make it true to his dream
I just wonder how much they can separate it from being "just another" remake, to ensure it sells well
Ngl I still haven't picked up New'n'Tasty because to the best of my knowledge it's not that different from Oddysee, and I already finished that game
you ever play a game where
yeah
holy shit
For sure, skyrim be like that do
what
but about a game when
Yeah, that is the best!
wot
Idk I prefer games that
damn nice
i hate when any game does
i would prefer it didn't
Me too!

😔
my name is zach
my name is ||DigDug||
londoug brij is fulling dun
you can doug it doug!
It's entertaining revisiting planets in Andromeda that you fixed the atmosphere for
Woohoo!
Though it's been hours since my last post...and I just came back to the computer, so I don't know how long it's been sitting at 92%.
They may have the tail end of the patch not even available yet
Its not that the download takes long, so much as the file unpacking has a built in integrity check
Clever way to timelock
that takes forever
You can actually skip the integrity check, but to be honest, that means youll bork the installation half the time
Steam SUCKS at doing things right the first try
No no, Im at work
Ill do it as soon as Im home.
I own on steam
launch with gog
Get all the goodies, from steam and gog
I wanted the black unicorn hehe
You get a katana from gog
Oh.
It bothers me that this is sitting on 92% and not moving. I have no idea if it's still patching, shit the code or what. I am used to seeing some indication of progress.
Like a timer.
Cant say, I use steam with a download manager I plugged into steam
So i dont seewhat you see
Frankly, steam has some serious issues with the way they handle data on downloads.
The issue is corruptions are rampant.
You could download twice as fast if it wasnt so bad.
Ha
Yeah, just a case of CDPR not having good process oversight.
Great programmers, poor coordinators
Not here.
I wasnt saying we are always divisive.
Im just saying, as a norm, world wide, its increasing.
here, stateside, all but total.
Being divisive seems to be something born of internet anonymity and distance
Aye
It reminds me of the bystander effect, but hyped up to a million
Its going to be a norm. For the rest of human history , in its current state.
It could get much worse
Or change.
We just dont know.
People who are aware of the state don't as easily fall prey to it.
Hrmm
Do psychological studies support that?
Im not sure thats the case
Hrmm, wait, did my landlady stick some cinnamon rolls in my work bag as a surprise, FUCK YEAH!
brb, heating them up
For instance, the bystander effect in psychology says the more bystanders there are, the less likely someone in a catastrophe will survive because nobody helps...However, trained personnel in the mix take charge regardless
The bystander effect occurs when the sense of responsibility gets watered down by the numbers. Rescuers however have a sense of responsibility regardless of the numbers and will go out of their way to help.
who has a landlady that cooks for them, are you sherlock holmes????
Something like that
i KNEW he was a commie bastard and now i have proof...the rolls!!!!!
commie?
I like all sorts of buns
ok comrade where is my hammer and sickle i am signing up...for the rolls
Had a electrican over one time
He repairs a light and such.
She hands him cinnamon rolls, go to pay him later, he goes fuck no, those rolls were amazing, consider me paid
This happens almost every repairman lol
hm rolls are sus now
I miss the days when you could get tradework done in exchange for goods other than money.
heroin rolls
I still do that occasionally Malarky
(heroin)
Hrmm, shes experimenting, one has pineapple glaze inside the roll
this is delightful
omg
Haha
Yeah mine is going YUUUUS!
Plus I have coffee to go with it
I wish you guys could see my face
LOl
So I was watching a historical cooking show and the guy made Indian Rice Pudding. Bar none the best reaction Ive ever seen him make when he tasted it
he was so happy he about cried. The recipe was pretty damned good too.
So simple, elegant and really one of the first modern desserts in the world
Like 6 ingredients is all it takes
So my wife's old phone went to shit and bestbuy gave us 122 in store credit.(we had the protection plan). She wants Cp2077 but wants to wait to see what it's like when we get home. Any other xbox 1 games she should look at?
Update complete. Game ready to play (allegedly)
Now to do this windows update
Pls don't require a system restore and make me redownload this monster, Windows.
😬
the odd situation where I'd honestly recommend having games installed to a separate drive tbh
oh 😌
one day, i'd like to do that too
Annoying. I see no option to update GOG...It might have an auto update feature like steam when you run it. When I went to finish updating CP77, it prompted a GOG update and I was like...NOPE...
Not until CP77 is done.
Well this is nice
I wish syncing with GOG meant you could claim steam games on GOG instead of requiring steam to run them still.

If the game in question isn't using Steam DRM, you should be able to.
Umurangi Generation is currently only sold through Steam but I run it through GOG Galaxy
Although, maybe I'm misunderstanding how you mean that
I meant for the purpose of dropping steam like a steamy hot turd.
The only thing keeping me with steam are the sheer number of titles I have purchased on the storefront.
Mm, then yeah, like I said, so long as the game isn't using Steam as DRM, you should be able to. The only remaining dependency would be for download/install
The only issue with steam games being claimed in GoG is many steam games dont include keys
those which do, are a simple work around
Frankly gog galaxy may become a primary app for me
I rather like it
Though Ill be only logging into Cyberpunk through gog for the goodies
So many goodies
Hmm so many options. Although it's so relative to genres she enjoys most and what she's played already. 
Yeah it's stuff like boarderlands, skyrim, fallout, terraria, stardew
Also, I would def hold off on CP on Xbox One (old gen) btw, based on reviews pertaining bugs. I'm deciding to wait things out till older gen reviews come out and when bigger bugs have been addressed.
I wouldn't play it on anything weaker than a One X, there's waaaaaaay too much stuff in the game for the weaker consoles to handle
@austere lance You've prob been playing a lot more games on Xbox than I have (in relation to variety). Would you have any recommendations for @keen dome? 
This was her original question:
So my wife's old phone went to shit and bestbuy gave us 122 in store credit.(we had the protection plan). She wants Cp2077 but wants to wait to see what it's like when we get home. Any other xbox 1 games she should look at?
Oh I don't play on xbox hardly, my wife does tho! I should really get her in this discord lol
I know. I meant in regards to your question. 
Ooh, well I mean the ones I said are fun af lol.
I play Xbox, but I know Soul has played a greater variety of games for recommendations.
Yeah I tend to stick to RPG esqe style games
I've played BL3 but it lacked in various aspects for me compared to BL2 story / dialogue.
Ori and the Blind Forest, then Ori and the Will of the Wisps 😍
I did enjoy those. Loved the visuals and music. 
meant to put in off-topic whoops
Slime Rancher has a physical release, right?
Given what was mentioned, seems like something @keen dome's wife might enjoy
damnit, cant play cp2077 yet
whats the release time again? I know it varies
found it, 7pm est
7pm ET if on PC. Very soon!
Oh I should've read the whole thing. Oops. Lol
Sadly on consoles, players have to wait till local midnight (so 7pm beats 12am ET
)
yeah XD
30 minutes for anyone with a vpn 😛
@fleet moat I changed my timezone to new Zealand and been playing all day on xbox haha
Im sorta wiggling around. After that amazing space x launch, this will be a amazing end to the day
Yup, 4pm pst, its 3:25pm now
google lied to me!
Because I am in cst and seen the pst launch time and when I did the converter it said yall are 2 hours behind me
wtf, nvm Idk what is happening. Just plugged it in againa nd this time it shows right
hmm, to play with or without a controller..that is the question
No way!!! I was curious if changing the console's timezone would work. Badass!
Also, awesome you're on Xbox too 
@balmy plaza Which Xbox are you running it on?
That's good to know! I hope you're enjoying it
I'll have to wait for reviews of the game on Xbox One. 
6 minutes.
Patch is released tomorrow ya?
I dig this gif. 
hey I don't know how long this fix is gonna last but if you're still seeing the play button greyed out for CP2077 just restart your steam client
I think I'm in love with it
That's wonderful! I have a feeling I'll have zero disappointments. I just wanna wait for Xbox One reviews to make sure it works and isn't overwhelmingly buggy. How do the shoot mechanics feel? And moving around?
just watchin' GiantBomb's quick look of it atm
I'm watching this happen in a server full of people who were hyped for the game yesterday, lol
Yeah, overhyped
I like to underhype myself
then I have the patience to wait for fixes
They all immediately tried playing and obviously they're having some wee issues 😆
Yeah
did people just...forget the Witcher 3 being really jank?
Well and was this before any patches?
Didnt the game go live today on steam
wtf is the Red Launcher?
Burh key to immortality, you have to beat the story for multiplayer with respawns 
Someone posted up the release schedule thing a bit ago
yeah it came out on steam where i am like 30 minutes ago
here we go, hype!
okay so realtalk here, how does anyone get excited by stat improvements that are literally +1 or +5%
like, i'm not great at math, but that's some minimal improvement
i don't understand why stat boosts like that are a thing in any game, lol
241mb update cyberpunk hmm
@cinder vessel A small stat increase to over-all damage (for example) can increase damage per second by a lot
looking at CP2077 quick look and for Reflexes it's like, "Increase crit chance by +1%", lmao
passive evasion improvement of +1%
I'm sure, it's just so so 😴
They're probably looking at it as a system of stats
And that's my mindset towards any game that does this, so don't think I'm just raggin' on CP2077
It's just what I'm lookin' at right now makin' me think about it
So...apparently I got a bunch of rewards.
I think what I was playing earlier (Bionic Dues) has some similar percentage boost junk and I'm just 😴 towards it, lol
Wolf school jacket, Black unicorn, Wolf School tshirt, Shupe the Troll Plushy and Galaxy tshirt
the small increases are incremental and are meant for stacking, like in valhalla once u invest into one skill u r far stronger in it, its a common theme
if all upgrades were like 25 or 50 percent, it would be harder to balance
also 1% extra crit chance can be godly depending what game it is and what crits do
i know, game by game basis and such
This is Cyberpunk 2077 - PS4 version 1.00. Resolution is literally below 720p and the game takes 20 seconds to load in textures. Inexcusable. Unfathomable. Unplayable. https://t.co/AZ2OPTnkdL
230
1510
I just feel so much more disinterested seeing percentage improvements over direct +[x] whatever. Not that that's saying much, considering I also see only stat improvements as largely uninteresting as well
ergh, twitter video compression not helping convey that at all, lol
Has that person forgotten there is supposed to be a patch? Because I'm pretty sure the patch would fix something like that
Omg love your pfp
@wet warren
when i first saw you with that pfp i thought a new person was mod lmao
What makes you say I'm not a new person 👀
Same. I had to inspect 
So, seeing a quick look, skimming & listening to some 30+ hour takes on CP2077, and watching SkillUp's review on CP2077, pretty sure I'm good just waiting on it.
In the meantime I'm def. gonna revisit my existing cyberpunk/scifi games tho.
just watched skill ups as well
If you're in a similar boat & would like some recommendations, feel free to hit me up.
Right away I'm gonna tell ya this year's scifi/cyberpunk game for me is Umurangi Generation.
like c'mon
it is a red panda tho
At long last Cyberpunk 2077 is here, and if you're still rocking a base model Xbox One, here's how it will look and run on version 1.02 (day 1 patch).
#ign #cyberpunk2077 #gaming
I'm liking the game.
Though I ran into a funny bug.
I bumped into a NPC and the NPC along with everyone in the area reacted like I punched her in the face
They're all cowaring.
Man, this game is good on pc
It isnt hard to find tanuki images, why did they use a red panda
Did they think no one would notice
Not even any image of a red panda. The one that's on mist conservation ads for them even
Most*
for fun probably, lol
it's not a sign near the ground or anything, ya kinda have to go out of your way to find it
Ah
ngl tho i forgot they were real
Lmao
thx anime
||ah yes, just found a sniper rifle on a roof, just casually, you know, as you normally do||
Finding sniping and stealth fun
Now I can get more damage with the melee, the katana feels like a better skyrim
stealth archer go
@balmy plaza What kind of stealth is it? I've read it's like Deus Ex
Anyone playing this on a 2080ti?
@austere lance it's basically the usual crouching around stealth. Not like ubisoft though; there's no hiding in bushes to be invisible etc. You can use hacking to distract and soften up enemies too
So I guess it's a bit deus ex in that regard
Not seen any invisibility yet though
Do you just sneak up on enemies and do executions?
You grab them from behind
From there you can walk around with them, knock them out or kill them
If you move them to a container you can dump them as per usual stealth mechanics
But a lot of the time you don't need to take anyone out if you do it right
Or you could build around stealth damage and use a silenced pistol
Hitman style? 
Looks pretty OK on xbox one x too
Already down to a 7/10
it's good but definitely not amazing
feels so boring just walking around
nothing to do unless you find a random group of dudes to kill for street cred
missions are fun but enemies are a bit too bullet spongey. I get why but they kill me faster than I can kill them most of the time lol
Aren't there a billion side missions to the point where the map looks like crowded hell, lol
