[glacial ridge]

Some would say fortnite is the best, some would say minecraft, some would just say cool math games

[pine knot]

very true

[idle saffron]

I find if I play any one game overly much, it gets boring for me

So I usually have 3 or 4 I'm messing with

[pine knot]

the only game i can play for months straight

is rdr2

[glacial ridge]

rocket league nms and minecraft are the best games imo

[pine knot]

rocket league is good

minecraft gets boring after 9 years

[idle saffron]

I binge of course, and play nms more than anything else

[pine knot]

but its one of my all time favorite

[glacial ridge]

I've sunk hours into all of them (not really mc)

Tbh I don't think rl will ever get old for me

[pine knot]

rl

?

[glacial ridge]

Rocket league

[pine knot]

oh

yeah

[idle saffron]

I ha merged on elite for a long time, got my anaconda, fergie, all the imperial ships - the passenger ships, besides orca - love love love it

[pine knot]

its fun every once and a while

[idle saffron]

Jesus, hammered is the word there

[pine knot]

yeah basically just did robigo

now i have a conda

[glacial ridge]

Unless I go in a huge losing/derabk streak

[pine knot]

and i have nothing to do until the next big update

[glacial ridge]

I play rl every day with friends and love it

[idle saffron]

imo elite has the best controls for a space game, hands down

[glacial ridge]

And I'm a good rank

[pine knot]

yes.

[idle saffron]

Like, ever

[glacial ridge]

Good enough where I can trash talk teammates

Ngl I've never tried ed

[pine knot]

i dont really like

trash talking

just annoying

[glacial ridge]

I only do it when necessary

[pine knot]

i never have to come across it anyway cause i play with my closest friends

like

[idle saffron]

Ed is very fun, and very different than NMs

[pine knot]

really fucking close

[glacial ridge]

How much does ed cost?

[pine knot]

uh

maybe 50-60

[glacial ridge]

You play in ranked?

[idle saffron]

I left the bubble for like 6 months, it was amazing just flying around where none else was

[pine knot]

nope

[glacial ridge]

Or just private matches

[pine knot]

neither

[glacial ridge]

Ah no wonder

[pine knot]

i just play normal game

we vibe

[glacial ridge]

Ranked is a jungle of toxicity

It's great

Especially at plat 3

[pine knot]

longest i've left is a couple days

i didnt go far

never had a need

[pine knot]

yeah i've never been interested in comp much

[idle saffron]

I wanted the expanse and nothingness

[pine knot]

the only time i've ever done it was in overwatch

where i was really good

[glacial ridge]

It's where I get my competitive side of gaming out

[pine knot]

im not really competitive

[glacial ridge]

And ranked with the boys hits different

[pine knot]

all i care about is hanging out with friends and enjoying the game lol

i just wish they could all like the same games

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/672023447152623637/798428606279450644/7674148530901483931.gif

[glacial ridge]

I think that comp is really fun at the beginning when your just trying to have fun, then boring/tilting af when you decide you want to get to a high rank, then fun when you get to the rank you wanted and can relax. But it still can be tilting

[pine knot]

yeah

ok i gtg

cya

[glacial ridge]

And I'm at the last step

[austere lance]

I found a useful review for Outriders, and I usually think reviews are bullshit
https://mashable.com/article/outriders-review/

[charred badge]

You can do that in the bubble by pressing a button

[idle saffron]

Nah, always have interdictions, players

[pine knot]

offline exists

[idle saffron]

You guys want me in the bubble or something?

Sounds like a trap

[charred badge]

Solo private group

[idle saffron]

Definitely a trap

[bronze wind]

@austere lance yeah I've played about 25 hours and def agree with that review. essence of it being it's really fun and feels rewarding but has the typical issue with progression that so many games have where it's like "ok now what"

[pine knot]

grab the fleet carrier quick

he wont see anything

[idle saffron]

Haha, I didn't get motivated enough for those

[charred badge]

Same tbh

[cinder vessel]

the eternal problem of progression-driven games tbh

[austere lance]

At least you get a 30 hour story out of it

[cinder vessel]

but how's the story

[austere lance]

Not bad, from what I've heard. It actually has decent voice acting and a campaign type of story instead of standard looter "story" nonsense like Destiny's

[wanton bough]

i feel like there are so many games that try to be destiny and do it right but somehow just don't match up to the amount of content to not have fun with in destiny

[austere lance]

LOL

[cinder vessel]

if loot treadmills involved actual treadmills some folks would be fuckin' ripped

[wanton bough]

yeah but seriously i have no idea how killing 13,000 enemies for a gun that deals 2 more damage is fun

[austere lance]

Yeah fuck that 💀

I was a Destiny boi once, then I burned out for all eternity

I don't think I've played any multiplayer games since last summer when I had Titanfall 2 installed

[wanton bough]

titanfall 2 is fucking fun

[austere lance]

Apparently Outriders was designed with trimming all the usual bullshit standard looter things in mind. Mods you unlock for guns are permanent so you can put em on any guns you want, it's easy to upgrade old guns so they're still viable, and as far as I'm aware there aren't any 36 part quests to get legendaries

[cinder vessel]

tbh i have trouble thinking of many multiplayer games that don't have progression systems that make you feel like you're screwing others over by not semi-optimizing or playing "efficiently" or whatever

[austere lance]

Titanfall 2, lol

[wanton bough]

yeah titanfall does that

[cinder vessel]

and aren't competitive i should probably add

[wanton bough]

no minmaxing bullshit

just choose what fits your playstyle

[austere lance]

Nobody cares what class or Titan you're using in Titanfall, they just want ded enemies

[wanton bough]

unless you're using the CAR, that one's just cancer

[austere lance]

Everybody plays it like a free-for-all anyway

[wanton bough]

yeah teamwork doesn't really exist basically

[cinder vessel]

i don't really enjoy blasting other players all that much

[wanton bough]

but either way i'm the hard carry so

[austere lance]

Titanfall has PvE mode 😌

[wanton bough]

yeah frontier defense is fun

[austere lance]

And a campaign

[cinder vessel]

mostly because more often than not I'll just get wrecked

[coarse swift]

Someday I'll boot up Titanfall 2

Someday

[austere lance]

PvE mode even has difficulties

[wanton bough]

the campaign is probably one of the best singleplayer campaigns ever made for a video game

[austere lance]

The intro cutscene is glorious

[coarse swift]

I'm not missing anything by not playing Titanfall 1 or Apex Legends, am I?

[austere lance]

No

[wanton bough]

no

[cinder vessel]

which is super fun, who doesn't love getting wrecked by the 24/7 crew in competitive multiplayer games 😂

[wanton bough]

apex servers are ass and titanfall 1 servers are literally ddosed 24 hours a day

[austere lance]

Titanfall 1 was a tech demo and you can't convince me otherwise

Literally pointless

[wanton bough]

besides the titans had 1 meta loadout and the rest was shit

[austere lance]

2 was basically a fuckin reboot

[cinder vessel]

lol who in the world wastes time ddosing titanfall 1

[wanton bough]

however i would like customization similar to that in the third one if it ever comes out, but just not as much

[wanton bough]

people with a lot of time, essentially

[coarse swift]

I only ever hear good things about Titanfall 2's campaign

[wanton bough]

it's one guy

[austere lance]

It slaps

[coarse swift]

But I'm never told what is good about it

[wanton bough]

the campaign was just too short

that's my only complaint

[cinder vessel]

it's one of those campaigns where to tell would be to spoil from what i gather

[coarse swift]

Is it comparable to say, a generic CoD campaign?

[austere lance]

Fun story, great combat that gives you classes to choose from so you're not stuck doing one thing, and probably one of the most unique levels ever put in a shooter

CoD campaigns are shit

[coarse swift]

Classes, now we're getting somewhere

Is there replayability?

How linear is it?

[austere lance]

It's pretty linear and not really, unless you like collecting hidden things

I always recommend campaign than Frontier Defense. If you're still into the game after those than maybe try pvp

[coarse swift]

So like DOOM then

I'm not big on pvp

[austere lance]

Yes but Doom parkour is shit and Titanfall's isn't, lol

[coarse swift]

Kinda good at like uh... Destiny pvp, but it brings out a competitive side of me that I dont like so I avoid it altogether

[wanton bough]

you have a bunch of different tactical abilities to use like grappling hook and they're on a cooldown

[austere lance]

Plus your mech has classes in campaign. Tho in multiplayer each of those classes corresponds with a different mech, lol

[coarse swift]

Can I change my mech's look?

[austere lance]

No

It's first-person, so there wouldn't really be a point

[wanton bough]

there's the prime titans

and then skins

[austere lance]

That's in multiplayer, I think he's asking about campaign

[wanton bough]

by skins i just mean paint jobs

OH

[coarse swift]

The amount of first person games I've played where you can change appearances despite being first person is quite a few though

[austere lance]

Multiplayer is where the appearance stuff is

In campaign you can just change BT's gear set

[cinder vessel]

mildly bummed they're busying away on Apex Legends. is like every competitive game, fun at first then people get all serious with it and they're all that remains 😔

[coarse swift]

They must want Apex to be the BR shooter

[austere lance]

Apex can fuck off, I can't believe they sacrificed Titanfall 3 for that abomination

[coarse swift]

Except, as long as kids continue to exist, so will Fortnite

I miss

early Fortnite

Not the BR version

Save the World

[wanton bough]

that was the shit

i still play it sometimes

[coarse swift]

A proper zombie defense builder

It was actually fun

[wanton bough]

yeah

my only complaint about that was the stupid crafting requirements for ammo

[austere lance]

Titanfall is also goofy, which nobody talks about

[coarse swift]

Nowadays

Its BR

[wanton bough]

i mean they still got it

[coarse swift]

And half the BR population probably couldnt even tell you what a fortnight is

[coarse swift]

Its Scorpion

[wanton bough]

also you can pull off the coolest shit in titanfall

[austere lance]

I mean come on, this is just rude 🤣

[wanton bough]

there's one where you steal their pistol and kill them with it

wait fuck

[austere lance]

karber mains when they something move

[coarse swift]

I got Titanfall 2 for free, too

And I still havent played it.

[wanton bough]

wow

[austere lance]

@coarse swift It's just a fun game, I recommend it

[cinder vessel]

lol

[wanton bough]

play it

[coarse swift]

It might take a while though

Moon and I are on a quest

We're replaying Borderlands 3

On TVHM

On Mayhem 10

[wanton bough]

pre-sequel is my favorite tbh

[coarse swift]

Then we're doing the DLC for the first time

All the dlc

[austere lance]

Campaign is short but has some heart to it and some interesting characters and a certain level is damn good and Dishonored 2 totally didn't repeat it later

[coarse swift]

Pre sequel is ok, more of a 2 fan myself

[cinder vessel]

bubblelands

[coarse swift]

#no-mans-sky

[austere lance]

I'd play Borderlands 3 if the devs understood the concept of optimization

[coarse swift]

Ah well see

Here's the thing Soul

We have PS5s

And it runs great on those

[wanton bough]

who needs optimization when you have dual 3090s

[coarse swift]

Hope you got a good CPU for that

[austere lance]

Like, there really isn't a graphical upgrade between BL 2 and 3. 3 is still goofy cel-shaded stuff. But 3 gets literally less than half the FPS on my old One S than 2 and the Pre-Sequel do

I played it for half an hour and noticed zero graphical improvements. But I got half the FPS. Do you see my issue here, lol

[coarse swift]

Well how much of a graphical upgrade do you give a game that has a decided art-style that's cell shaded

I mean

[austere lance]

Exactly

[wanton bough]

RTX CELL SHADING

actually i wonder what that would look like

[coarse swift]

I get what you mean though

Like, having to go back and forth between my PS4 and PS5 just to upload my saves

I felt the chug

[austere lance]

There is no graphical improvement. The map wasn't much bigger and there weren't super improved textures. Why tf does it have HALF THE FPS

[coarse swift]

Pretty sure I also had to go to 1080p on the PS4 just to get some decent frames

But then, I also had to do that with NMS

[wanton bough]

probably some backend stuff that's horribly optimized and you just don't see it

like some parts of the map might be loaded in when it absolutely does not need to and it's just practically hoarding your gpu

[charred badge]

don't mind me. Just killing the statue of liberty riding around on the sphynx and wielding the Eiffel tower as a lance

[coarse swift]

Might surprise you but that thing has a trick

It pulled out a bigass roulette stage and wiped half the members in that UQ once

I never knew it could do that

If you want proof of the #cmos issue with ps4's then heres video. I took out the battery and put the ps4 back together. The result, no physical or digital games work offline without connecting to Sony's server. ALSO may cause game install data corruption @dark1x @Dachsjaeger pt1 https://t.co/ltCmh6M6rH

Twitter · Apr 12, 2021, 6:34 AM

[rigid haven]

Ohpso2 is great apparently I already have the best jet boots in the game and they're available with fucking badges

Also holy shit that's terrible

[thorn dawn]

This is confusing. Is the issue that the PS4 doesn't work without an RTC battery? Because that's totally expected.

Or is the issue that the PS4 doesn't work after changing the RTC battery

All the testing seems to be that it doesn't work without an RTC battery

[idle saffron]

<--- shocked

[rigid haven]

Hi shocked

[idle saffron]

Hiya

[charred badge]

anger is that the system stops being able to play games if it can't phone home after replacing the battery

so when sony shuts down the server, the system is on deathwatch

[thorn dawn]

But is that what they've actually found? Cause the guy is continually talking about how he has to reinstall the battery to make it work

If it works after they put the battery back in, that's all tickety boo

[charred badge]

yes? I don't know about this guy, but that's the issue

[thorn dawn]

It's not like batteries are going away any time soon

[charred badge]

right

[bronze wind]

yeah not to be annoying but it just sounds like a case of "i don't understand the implications of what I did and I am going to make huge assumptions" lol

according to some of the replies it's just used for trophy validation stuff, not sure if that's something Sony could fix with a FW update or if it would have to be game-specific

and like.. people touting planned obsolescence, CMOS batteries are 100% replaceable, the PS4's battery isn't even soldered to the board like they are with gameboy cartridges for example. Even PCs have this type of issue sometimes.

[thorn dawn]

The only way it could be an issue is if you replace the CMOS battery and then everything is broken until it checks in with Sony

But, that doesn't sound like what they've found

[bronze wind]

so far yea it just seems like they removed their CMOS battery and then thought "how could it be that things don't function properly"

[rigid haven]

OH see I assumed the implication was that they removed and replaced it before putting it back together

[bronze wind]

yeah if you replace it it just works again

[rigid haven]

Ah that's good then, whew

[bronze wind]

not that everyone knows how or wants to open their PS4 to fix an issue like this, so I agree they shouldn't link trophies or whatever to this, but it's like if you took the CMOS battery out of your PC and then said "guys the time keeps getting reset on my PC whenever I boot it up" lol

[rigid haven]

Start up my pc and shit I guess it's January 1st 1980

[bronze wind]

poggy

[charred badge]

Afaik the issue is true for ps3, not sure about vita/4

..heh

[bronze wind]

people saying it does have to reconnect after replacing the battery but they're basing that on the assumption that the OP replaced the battery and didn't just completely remove it lol

[charred badge]

We have a PSV and a PS5

[bronze wind]

did some googling and found that you do have to connect to PSN once after replacing the battery, so this would be an issue if they took down the validation endpoint for that. if they did issue a firmware patch for it then you'd probably just be unable to earn trophies without a functional battery

[charred badge]

And at that point, who cares? Dead psn.

[bronze wind]

yeah people seem to think the store is the same as the PSN which it isn't

i get the concern now but seeing people make jumps like this just hurts me lol

Watch Dogs legion pushes the non lethal aspect of its combat a lot

But I'm honestly not sure how non lethal shooting someone six times right in the face with tazer rounds is

[charred badge]

https://youtu.be/2OzmH-C8vG0

[dry copper]

The latest watchdogs non lethal bullshit is idiotic. I should've have to run over someone three times before they stop getting up.

[wanton bough]

i haven't played legion but from what i've heard, it's probably a game i'd be better off without

or should i get it

[dry copper]

I played it. It's nothing like any other watchdog game

It feels like an empty shell by comparison.

It doesn't help that I can't drive properly because I keep wanting to drive on the side of the street like north america

[wanton bough]

wait what happens if you drive on the wrong side of the road

[dry copper]

You drive into oncoming traffic

[wanton bough]

oh

[dry copper]

There is an auto drive thing that drives for you and that's nice, but feels like a crutch

[wanton bough]

alright so yeah i'll avoid it

[dry copper]

Don't get me wrong. I don't want to shit on the game. It's not bad by its own right...but it's not the same. If you're looking for Watchdogs it's its own thing.

[wanton bough]

alright

but to me it sounds like they were trying to make their own gta online

[dry copper]

It's got a weird open worldy feel to it recruiting people and they're very gimmicky

[woven phoenix]

What do you think about star citizen? This planet engine really blows my mind https://youtu.be/7xFH1fUhhLM

[dry copper]

Unfinished game that may never be finished. Not interested in Star Citibank

It's a cash cow

Its developers should feel ashamed of how long it has taken to finish.

(and it's not finished so...there is that, too)

[charred badge]

Remember arkham city

Nonlethal rockets and tank collisions

[dry copper]

[woven phoenix]

apparently Gleam got her to sing sea shanties

Like Bill Withers' "Ain't no sunshine"

[sleek cloud]

Oh nice, thanks for letting us know. @fleet moat maybe you should become a pirate too 😉

[fleet moat]

i love that it's cross-play. def makes it easier to set up game nights.

[sleek cloud]

Yeah and on gamepass which is what I'm using

[dry copper]

But can you play a cross dressing pirate?

Yes

nms would probably beat ED in universe size

[loud slate]

oh definitely, Euclid is f***ing huge compared to the Milky Way, and then there's many more

No Man's Sky:
225 galaxies with 3-4 billion regions of 122-550 systems

Milky Way (Elite Dangerous version):
400 billion systems

[dry copper]

NMS. It's bigger than people can actually imagine. Numbers are one thing....Imagining scale is a whole other beast

Yet we can look in a telescope and see things bigger.

Example: Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall

10 billion light years in length

[glass plinth]

Elite is bigger actually in a way. Since there is more space, between spaces.

You can fly further inside a solar system.

Hrmm, hard comparison.

[coarse swift]

What if you're actually just smaller in Elite

[glass plinth]

Nah, Elite is to scale.

Solar systems have vast distances.

NMS doesnt.

[coarse swift]

Then what if you're bigger in NMS

[glass plinth]

Ha

I cant negate that your bigger on average.

Since planets are smaller

[sleek cloud]

would be cool if HG could somehow add some sort of rare super massive planet

like when you see the giant stars in ED, kinda breath taking

[charred badge]

The trouble with NMS size is that it's somewhat more shallow than ED

Which is... saying something?

Although the planets have life on them so that's something

ED has more variety on open space and system layouts

NMS doesn't have much like a pulsar

[dry copper]

I think it's funny calling a virtual space "to scale"

what next, people selling fake virtual houses on the internet?

Oh wait...they do

[charred badge]

Most space games limit scale to make getting around easier

[austere lance]

Second Life go brrrrrr

[charred badge]

No, no. Second life sells the virtual land. Users sell houses.

[dry copper]

Cogito ergo vos estis

Users don't exist. Second Life sells houses, pretending to be users 😛

I used to sell hats in second life. It was fun

-ish

My hat designs were always being stolen by asian markets that expanded on them and sold in their larger markets

Houses were a market that people seemed to really enjoy the personal touch, but the customer service was a fucking nightmare.

I knew people selling their built homes that were all packaged into scripted boxes and they'd get the weirdest support requests

There was always people wanting to add extra customization to their house.

Or people who screwed up and unpacked the house not realizing that it was a limited open item designed to minimize the ability of duplication

Oh the types of complaints....never ending

[cinder vessel]

sounds like it

maybe virtual property was a mistake

[dry copper]

Could've been worse.

...I have seen some pretty fuuuuuuuuucked up markets in SL

It was decent for live DJs though

They'd actually make a decent living for some events with tips etc

Copyright violations were a big problem

[cinder vessel]

sucks that second life is largely so plain though

[dry copper]

Then there were the fetish groups who come in with furries trying to yiff and the weirdo pervies walking around with giant dongs

Def not kid friendly

[charred badge]

Yeah, the early days of SL were kinda fun, but it really dropped off

[cinder vessel]

feel like second life just demonstrated the classic creation problem, where most folks can't be assed to make stuff (for free/themselves)

SL was too early

[glass plinth]

My furry friend basically lives on SL

Its the core area they congregate, obviously necessary with Covid.

[charred badge]

I mean, that didn't change things all that much

[glass plinth]

I geniunely dont think any of them care how people view them though.

Well in the past my friend was a head for 5 major cons

Its been rough not being able to get togethe from what i can tell.

No different then any of the rest of us.

[charred badge]

Makes sense how a group based on extensively modified body structures would congregate in a Service built around avatar and world modification, with a built in market system

[glass plinth]

Yup

I think he has maybe 1000 dollars worth of suits and such in the game.

Thats just a guess though.

[charred badge]

I remember when pizza hut and the GAP wanted stores there

And people thought they'd be doing virtual business meetings

[glass plinth]

Unfortunately the program is less then ideal to me

It crashes and has way to many bugs

DJs can sorta make a living because they tolerate those kinds of issues

Major corps less so

[charred badge]

Was like that back when I messed around with it too

My idle account let me cash out $150 in free lindendollar tho, so that's neat

[cinder vessel]

lindabucks

[charred badge]

Treebucks

[glass plinth]

Personally I was more a Project Entropia type

Made good money there before I cashed out.

Great community, sadly mostly gambling addicts

Lol

[charred badge]

Linden gave a monthly allowance back then, lol

[glass plinth]

You know its funny because I play Genshin now, and that is if you play it wrong, a gambling game.

Its also bizzare.

[charred badge]

I mean, it's a gacha

But can you cash out?

[glass plinth]

Hell no, entropia lets you of course.

[raven frost]

oh god

[glass plinth]

Entropia has ... hundreds of millions in it

[raven frost]

project entropia

[charred badge]

I feel like cashing out is where something actually tips over into gambling

[raven frost]

THAT's a name I haven't heard in a long time

[glass plinth]

I really did good in that game Puter.

[cinder vessel]

that's not playing it wrong, that's by design...

[glass plinth]

Still going strong Puter.

[raven frost]

I played it for a week to see what it was like

not for me

[cinder vessel]

i mean simulated gambling is a thing, same problems tend to arise

[glass plinth]

Well by design genshin will give you exactly what you need to excel. If you want more then that, its up to you. I have only spent 5 bucks a month on the mini sub. I have as many characters as all my friends

Its the ones who cant see the math who drop 400 bucks for one character that.. well they spend what they want i suppose

Personally I enjoy the randomness of the characters I get

Hell, I know one guy who spends 2000 a month on that game.

I dunno why.. other then its a addiction.

[cinder vessel]

can't see/can't be assed to do the math is how it's predatory/gambling by design tho. Give folks a money driven lever and there are folks that will get screwed by it

[glass plinth]

Always yup

I guess im not one of them

I enjoy the game for the game it is.

Not to mention the storyline is suprisingly better then I expected. At least to me.

Hrmm, I want to try the Monster hunter rise!

Bah, have to wait tell its on PC though.

[charred badge]

I played genshin for a couple hours

I'd rather play pso2 and gacha for fashion/boosts rather than basic stats

[glass plinth]

Ah, great game Ps02

I never did get into it much

I personally like the way characters evolve on genshin

The day to day changes are great

[dry copper]

When you're building a new computer, how do you know what shit plugs into what on the motherboard?

[glass plinth]

I dont really get that with 90 percent of mmos

Errrr

Read the diagrams?

Watch videos?

I mean thats what i do when I build pcs

Learn.

[dry copper]

Does the motherboard generally come with instructions?

[glass plinth]

Oh yes

Always

[dry copper]

Whew. Never had a new motherboard before so no idea

[glass plinth]

Although, even I have to check videos time to time.

[dry copper]

I've only ever used youtube videos to learn how to fuck shit up

[glass plinth]

Its those damned tiny mobo pins

fuck those things

thats the only hard part

[dry copper]

I'm so tempted to just blow $800 for a CPU and Motherboard and build my dream machine, vs try and find something to settle on...or spend $1500-$2000 for one.

[cinder vessel]

speaking of computer assembly, I have a raspberry pi kit on the way and i partially blame @charred badge 😛

[dry copper]

I have all the parts but those two and the store near me has both of them

[glass plinth]

What are you using it for Leon/

I use them for water management systems at my friends pot farm

Not hard to do with a Pi

Also, Im in oregon, to clarrify the farm part

lol

[dry copper]

Isn't that designed for a phone?

[glass plinth]

The Pi?

Eh, its whatever you want

Its a core computer

[dry copper]

"This is my pi. All it does is formulate profanity laden sentences to be used as snappy come backs....Nothing else"

[cinder vessel]

up in the air atm, probably play around with it and maybe just make a little emulation box with it

[glass plinth]

Nice!

[cinder vessel]

also i know this vibe all too well

[glass plinth]

Retro gamer boxes are easy on pi

Me, I want to buy a mobo, ram and a amd 3600, I just dont have the 450 bucks to blow right now

[dry copper]

I want my dream machine but at the same time I can't shake the feeling of uncertainty and fear that I break it in construction, waste $800 and then have nothing to show for it

[cinder vessel]

i've been putting off desktop pc building given the current situation seeming all over the place

[dry copper]

and while I want my dream machine, I know I don't need it

[cinder vessel]

on the plus side, if all the parts are still under warranty you could probably return anything broken for a replacement

[dry copper]

You fuck the voltages and burn out a $600 CPU and they'll just replace it ?

That's a nice warranty.

[glass plinth]

Honestly CPU, ram and Mobo arent bad Leon

[austere lance]

What the fuck

[glass plinth]

A AMD 3600 is beastly strong for the price, a supporting mobo is only 75 bucks and rams about 82

Oh hes a streamer Soul

Its a business expense he can claim.

LOl

[dry copper]

Because being a streamer makes it less wtfy?

Oh, he's broadcasting his furry

😛

That could be read any number of ways.

[glass plinth]

Yup

He makes maybe 300k a year.

So its not like he has to worry

THough he is married and has kids now. Also a evil cat.

I cant tell you how many times his views start screaming at him, WATCH THE CAT as it pulls something off a shelf behind him.

[austere lance]

What do you even spend 2k a month on in the game, it doesn't have that many characters

[glass plinth]

Part of the shoe I suppose

Hahaha, constellations

If you get a character, you can amp it 6 times.

So getting it multiple times is good

Now honestly, I spent maybe 30 bucks total and Im doing dandy

[dry copper]

That paragraph makes no sense ^

[glass plinth]

But if you want ALL of them to c6, good luck

Yeah

The concept is simple. Roll for a character. Get character. Roll some more to get it again until its leveled up.

[dry copper]

What do you spend 2k on....A piece of a shoe...A constellation...star signs

[glass plinth]

The character. Leveling it up

[dry copper]

This isn't second life?

[glass plinth]

Genshin.

[dry copper]

Oh. That's a bit of a relief...sort of.

[glass plinth]

Its funny because I have c6 Xiangling, Sucrose, Noele, Amber, Bennet, Xingui and a few others

Yet, I really didnt spend much

the curve to get a full set of all characters to c6 is insane

[dry copper]

Xiangling? Sounds like a chinese name

[glass plinth]

Indeed

Each region is inspired by a culture.

[austere lance]

I already forgot who makes the game

[glass plinth]

Mondstat is german-English, Liyue is china.

Inuzuma is japan

There will be other cultures of course.

[dry copper]

This is going right over my head

[glass plinth]

hehehe

No context.

[dry copper]

I feel like Flula Borg

[austere lance]

It's a gacha game, don't worry

[glass plinth]

Genshin is made by Mihoyo. One of the biggest games in the world now.

Apparently its going to be a series of games

Interconnected by the same currency system.

[austere lance]

It's already a series, there was a game before it

[glass plinth]

So think ready player one

Aye aye

[shadow tartan]

Honkai Impact

[glass plinth]

They should be linking those worlds

[shadow tartan]

🤢

[glass plinth]

Hell, Dvalin has gone to that universe

You can see him in Honkai

[austere lance]

Whomst

[glass plinth]

Mind you stylistically Genshin is based on Honkai, but considered the first in the new multiverse series, due to quality.

By 2027 they expect to be worth about a trillion usd

Not hard to see that happening.

[austere lance]

They expect WHAT

[glass plinth]

Well they have over 200 million users. They expect to be around 800 million end of year. At the rate of expansion very likely

They already make billions a month

They make Wow look like a piece of lent

[shadow tartan]

Almost perfect gacha

[austere lance]

How tf do they think they're getting 600m more users in 9 months

8 months? Whatever

[glass plinth]

Just based off the rate of increase. Its not slowing down, its speeding up.

[shadow tartan]

They're trying to compete with TiMi

[glass plinth]

Since the game runs on cellphones, its immense in asia

You see gosh darned trains with genshin art on them on bullet trains

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I know a lot of people that play it

It's a good global release

[glass plinth]

The biggest ever

They are well over 1000 devs now.

[shadow tartan]

On pretty much every major platform

[glass plinth]

Plus a full orchestra on hite

Hell the music OST release made millions.

[shadow tartan]

And the mobile experience is just as good as console

[glass plinth]

Yup

[shadow tartan]

It's amazing tbh

I just don't like it personally

Because it's gacha

But it makes bank

[glass plinth]

I personally havent played gacha games before. After playing it, I realized they had balanced it to be fair to the player. You can play it without spending a cent and enjoy it. It also is setup to make you want all the characters, but it prohibit you from progress.

Thats the reason it grows so fast.

Its just balanced right.

lately they have been throwing in a TON of variances to content. The mini games in that last event were flipping insane

[shadow tartan]

https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/4/22367089/tencent-timi-studios-call-of-duty-mobile-10-billion-2020

These guys and miHoYo

[glass plinth]

Ha, and thats small compared to Genshin. It really was also a factor of timing

Billions of people lockied at home

Billions of people with cells and pcs with to much time.

[shadow tartan]

It's a lot bigger than Honkai too

[glass plinth]

Yeah and Inuzuma is coming up, which is smaller, but 3 times denser according to testers

They keep that up , if you started the game in 3 years, have to play forever to finish

OK!

What do I have for dinner tonight people!

I need ideas

Anything goes...

[shadow tartan]

For mobile?

[glass plinth]

For dinner, Im hungry

I want foood!

Thai? Chinese? Japanese?

[shadow tartan]

Nuggets with mashed potato

[glass plinth]

Wait..

[shadow tartan]

Ooo

[glass plinth]

what?

[shadow tartan]

Thai sounds nice

[glass plinth]

Yus

Tha green curry!

[shadow tartan]

Pad-thai for me

[glass plinth]

Mmmm

[shadow tartan]

And satay

[glass plinth]

We have a amazing thai restraunt here.

Oh yeaaah baby

Satay with peanut sauce!

[shadow tartan]

I might make some

[glass plinth]

I was also thinking Jack in the Box Bacon cheeseburger with a great nut brown ale.

Rich, and completely decadent

They make amazing buns for their burgers.

[shadow tartan]

Or replace the ale with root beer or something

[glass plinth]

I try not to drink to much soda, beer affects my teeth less then soda

I cant tell you how many times Ive had a piece of a tooth fall off with soda. Its something I only drink maybe once a year.

Very weak teeth.

However, I have mixed rootbeer with beer.

Nommy

[willow crypt]

i like Samuel Smiths nut brown ale

don't have enough experience to name any other brands though, but I do enjoy em

[glass plinth]

Im spoiled. I drink my friends home brew.

His nut brown ale is similar to a ale he made in the UK when he was a brewmaster.

Rich, smooth, very nice.

[willow crypt]

you are fortunate to have such a friend

[glass plinth]

Used to work at the factory I work in occasionally

Ran the fill line

[willow crypt]

my brother experimented with several types of beers, but stopped and now doesn't drink

[dry copper]

I don't like the taste of beer

[willow crypt]

i suppose that’s a good thing

unless you drink it anyway

[idle saffron]

I miss her, going to see how she is doing

[lilac pasture]

[glass plinth]

No surprise that games art was so dark

The team takes mental illness really seriously. Some of the artists even struggle with issues and it came through in the game.

Thats series was a bit to much for me though

[idle saffron]

It was intense at times, at least I found it so

[dry copper]

Have you ever had a meal you were anticipating so much that you had a buffalo bill dancing to goodbye horses moment?

[fleet moat]

for a micro second i thought i was in #no-mans-steak🥩 lol switching between channels makes my brain go

[dry copper]

I was thinking more about the movie than the food....trying to place that moment of psychotic fanaticism into something tangible like delicious food.

[fleet moat]

we're talking Silence of the Lambs right?

[dry copper]

yes

[fleet moat]

f'n love that film.

rewatched it for the millionth time recently. still enjoyed every scene.

[dry copper]

Bill has this moment where he snaps and dances with the skin of his victims on his body as he sings to goodbye horses in the mirror

I was sort of having that moment thinking about a donair

[fleet moat]

donair, don't think i've had it. sounds like a good time tho lol

[dry copper]

It's amaaaaaaazing

If you want to make the sauce for a donair it's really easy. You get Eagle Brand Original Sweetened Condensed Milk (my preference) and mix in equal portions of white vinegar, stir vigorously and then let sit for 30 mins

The vinegar has a chemical reaction and will split the condensed milk into a sweet thick sauce which is great for donairs

[silver sparrow]

what is this sorcery of which you speak

[dry copper]

Wow. I found someone allegedly selling a Ryzen 7 5800 paired with an RTX 3070 for $1300.

In a full system

In the market today that GPU alone will sell for twice that here.

Not that I'm interested in selling it.

I want to uuuuuuse it

[glacial ridge]

Make sure it's not paper version

[fleet moat]

my brain. i read paper vision. then thought, it sounded like pay-per-view. pay per version. words.

[glacial ridge]

...

[fleet moat]

wait, now this recipe one hundred percent needs to be added to #no-mans-steak🥩. you gotta share the love, Malarky. c'mon.

i'm contributing to the internet archive with an old PS1 demo disc they don't have 😄

[balmy plaza]

https://open.spotify.com/track/6cA1usDL8nTHeSgFewQat3?si=FiLJJegMQq22_YvtAAap1g

This is eerily melancholic

But they were very ahead of their time

https://open.spotify.com/track/3o2E1ww8NCHo3ebU4qhh4l?si=95kRGrBJTbOTyJ-wcrisgw

This is good too

Better than the studio version

His voice is very unique

And the backing is superb

[thorn dawn]

wait they want those

[cinder vessel]

🤷‍♀️ i don't know if they do, but they already have a few, so i'm like hey lemme add another

[thorn dawn]

huh

[cinder vessel]

E.g.
https://archive.org/details/psxgames?query=interactive+cd+sampler+volume&sin=

[thorn dawn]

interesting

Dunno if I still have them, but I had some PS games that came with boxes of cereal

[balmy plaza]

https://open.spotify.com/track/77K5TB5KZmDZCoJCdd1NvE?si=IkyAM-BJQ26-tB_3srndbg

This one kinda hits emotionally

[cinder vessel]

as a heads up, it takes kinda forever to upload to the archive

[willow crypt]

that guy is scary

[rigid haven]

Yooo ln

Great series

[idle saffron]

Yeah, good games

Much fun

[winter yew]

One of the boss fights in the second one terrifies me 😩

[idle saffron]

Oh , I'm pretty sure I know which one, same if so

[winter yew]

i hate being followed or chased in games

[idle saffron]

I like it when games give me genuine feelings, and these definitely did that

Mostly fear

Lol

[willow crypt]

Little Nightmares is like a dream i had as a kid

Was in my house by myself, dark and filled with boxes everywhere

and i was running through the boxes away from small things chasing me

[idle saffron]

Eeek

[cinder vessel]

internet archive isn't terribly user friendly 😔

thought i'd set things properly with upload but apparently i needed to add info elsewhere to add to proper collection, then when i tried that, i didn't have permissions, but permissions aren't clearly communicated so aaahhh

[idle saffron]

[cinder vessel]

like 90% sure once someone finds my upload they'll toss it 'cause i did stuff wrong but none of the docs helped me understand how to do stuff right 💀

[idle saffron]

Good way to encourage people to contribute

[cinder vessel]

the alternative is they grab it, reroll it the right way, add to relevant collection, and it's all whatevs

buut it's like, help me help you have to do less work with better documentation pls

There is no God in Mount and Blade but Arwa the Pearled One, who I'm helping take over the world. Helping her out pays well 😌

[dry copper]

Update on sweet new computer I'm trying to get...The man who is selling it is french...and pretty much only speaks french...so I'm using a translator to negotiate. The price is so low I'm not even going to haggle. I just want to meet, give him the money and take the computer (assuming it works).

I'm super excited. This system is better than anything I had planned on building

[viral cairn]

damn yikes

thank you though! I always wanted to play a Warhammer game, just never knew which one

I'll check out dawn of war

[full pivot]

Dawn of War 1 has most major factions but lacks the Tyranid but it was always my favorite one

I think 3rd game was Sims syndrome a bit too

What I mean is ppl have dawn of war 1 which expanded to almost all factions, 2 lessened them but added more as well

And then 3 was like yeah were going back to only a few

[cinder vessel]

so I'm setting things up to try PS3 emulation and it hit me if it works well i could potentially play Nier this way 👀

[keen dome]

So Attack on Titan, ||was the first armored titan that broke the walls, the same guy in s2 ep 32? The one with white hair in the scouts?||

[wet warren]

||yes||

[cinder vessel]

btw @keen dome how ya watchin' Attack on Titan anyway?

[keen dome]

Hulu because I am gaming at the same time and don't wanna have to look over to read the english subs

[coarse swift]

Levi sounds very different in Japanese

[keen dome]

||ah so that guy was a traitor this whole time?||

[wet warren]

||yes but you'll find out their reasoning soon enough||

[coarse swift]

||Traitor wouldn't be the right word for Reiner tbh||

[keen dome]

kk

[coarse swift]

I'd love a DoW with every faction that doesn't play like 3

I'm still just gonna go with Tau but its nice to have variety

[shadow tartan]

https://youtu.be/Legbv8jNYR0

https://youtu.be/Y81FoWN2jCQ

[cinder vessel]

so after some testing back & forth, I can easily say PS3 emulation is still pretty early days

On the plus side, I was able to actually load into & move about in Bioshock 2, but the audio was completely hosed

What's really funny is seeing some games listed as playable, checking the forums, and finding the folks that declared them playable basically have the highest of the high end processors, lol

bioshock 2, playable, according to some person with an i9 processor

[rigid haven]

Ah fuck

I suppose at the very least, some games are still playable via remakes and remasters and whatnot

[edgy solstice]

yeah, its still generally playable lol

you're saying playable like you can't play games without it being a remastered version

[cinder vessel]

I'm talking in terms of emulation status, to be clear

[edgy solstice]

yeah, and i was talking to Woop

[cinder vessel]

gotcha! wasn't sure

[full pivot]

Beam is from a T'au battleship

The current "campaign" involves a contested world

T'au and Imperium

Tabletop Simulator so 9th Edition

Be forewarned its complicated to get all the models haha

Lot of workshop stuff

I can dm you a place to get them

I never got around to playing the PS4 version so idk how it compares

This and Okami are probably one of my most favorite games of all time

[winter yew]

If you liked the Zelda games you should love Okami

The main gameplay gimmick is the celestial brush where you pause the game briefly to ‘draw’ on the screen, specific patterns that will result in altering the game world or cast spells

[crisp sparrow]

Okama way

[winter yew]

Nah nothing like that.

https://youtu.be/iZ3Cy0JV5ko

Here’s an example that shows how the brush ties into battle

Ugh that person clearly has no idea how to play that boss lmao

[charred badge]

Wait, imperium ships that don't look like a flying brick/castle?

@twilit ocean ökami is a combat-heavy zelda-like where instead of a bottomless gadget bag the PC gets spells based on drawing on the screen

It's incredibly stylish

[winter yew]

It’s like a 60 hour game

Almost 70-80 if you’re a completionist

[dry copper]

Hello.

https://tenor.com/view/detroiters-excited-awesome-yes-gif-21094123

I am both disappointed and excited at the same time.

Disacited.

The guy I want to buy this computer from is too far away for me to just go to, but my transport to him isn't avail until sat, but he could technically travel to me (if he is where his ad says he is), but I think it's not...and he's much farther away. So the sale has a very VERY slim chance of happening.

It's coming out of EA and releasing on consoles in a month

[austere lance]

Yes?

[dry copper]

"Is it finished?"
"In a month"

Its a finished complete game, it finally releases in a month

There

[dry copper]

So the story is complete?

[austere lance]

I said it better, lol

[dry copper]

Have you beaten it?

[austere lance]

Yes the story is complete

It's an actual game, not an Early Access one

[dry copper]

I wonder if the story feels complete or just a prelude to the next chapter, like the first one

[austere lance]

No I haven't beaten it cuz it's not out yet, lol

Banger

Absolute banger

Saw it live in 2019 but the studio version just came out today

[glass plinth]

Just a heads up Mumble, I have completed Sub-Zero.

Its a good story. A tad denser though in that the world feels smaller in a way. So you run into it a lot faster.

Which can make the game feel a bit shorter.

Overall, good quality per usual from the studio.

It is however just a chapter in the series, there is plenty of evidence there will be more games coming.

[wet warren]

I hope if they make another Subnautica that they try doing more with the abyss. Could make a lot of cools stuff out of that

[glass plinth]

Would depend. I dont want to spoil anything

Storyline wise, it has implications to the whole galaxy.

Its possible they could bring the series entirely off planet.

[balmy plaza]

Hmmmm

A space subnautica

Would be hard to recreate the ecosystems aspect but they could get creative with vacuum dwelling organisms and asteroid ecosystems

Though I haven't played either game 😂

[thorn dawn]

Spacenautica

[glass plinth]

I couldnt guess

The style of the genre could be done almost anywhere

[balmy plaza]

True

[thorn dawn]

canadanautica

[balmy plaza]

Portsmouthnautica

Instead of the abyss it's dodgy alleys

I've established that the leaders of each kingdom in Mount and Blade Warband are useless, I'm going mercenary now 😌

Shut up and take my money

[cinder vessel]

...why is it split up like that, lmao
capcom, u know u can just...put them all in one bin, right?

[empty crag]

@cinder vessel But you know, M O N E Y

[charred badge]

Man, there's this one warframe video guy that does nothing but vaguepost on his titles

So aggravating

[cinder vessel]

lmao

basically even more annoying clickbait

Warframe's new update also added a ||superbright railjack skin||. Spoiler for quest end reward.

The ||skin|| in action. It hurts my eyes.

[cinder vessel]

@austere lance i'm screaming that Raycevick doesn't even touch on emulation on their phone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neB1O6Z5K9U

how

how do you do a video on gaming on your phone and not talk about emulation

it's like the sleeper hit of mobile gaming

[winter yew]

Dudes rambles a lot, I stopped watching him because of it.

[winter yew]

I can’t be bothered to go back to Warframe after the fact they basically forced everyone to rebuild their railjack (with the rework) as they spent many weeks/months building up. I was around for the gun and melee modding reworks but this is just outright annoying.

[coarse swift]

wat

I never had to rebuild my railjack

[winter yew]

I’m referring to the modding system

[coarse swift]

Which... wasn't all that much of a hassle tbh

The new system is neat for multiplayer RJ

Mod for your role and forget it

[winter yew]

Ehh

If I could get back up to par with my build before I’d be willing to give it a shot

[coarse swift]

Its not much different than say, getting a new set of mods and having to max them all.

Except now you can forma your railjack.

[winter yew]

And they worked forma into it too. Oh boy

[coarse swift]

Which I do need to

But havent bothered

Content with my current loadout, even if its got an empty slot

New quest took like 20 minutes to do as well, and I hear the void storms thing is more pain at the moment

[winter yew]

I was almost able to solo the Veil Proxima on my previous RJ

[coarse swift]

So I'm just gonna keep waiting to dive back in fully

You could probably solo Veil Proxima much easier now with the crew

If... you count that as soloing.

[winter yew]

What hurt was the constant invasions

[coarse swift]

I stuck a pilot, gunner, and engineer on the railjack

Was able to leave it alone and never worry about it.

Engineer was swole too so it handled any potential invaders

The new quest does leave a helluva a lot hanging and unexplained though.

[winter yew]

Wait how does the pilot work lol

[coarse swift]

With some song that didnt seem to need to be there

The pilot flies around, I'm guessing specifically towards enemies.

It otherwise stays near objectives.

[winter yew]

Sounds about right considering how they’ve been dragging out the New War

[coarse swift]

Pilot will still shoot though

And with better accuracy than me

Therefore, I gave it photor

There's also some new guns too

OH

I do have

one

complaint.

But thinking about it, its probably fine

Theres armor plating now

You gotta find new armor plating to get bigger hull n shields

But like I said, thinking about it... I think your current hull n shields when modded was about equal to what they would've been before rework

So the new plating would be... a buff

I've been spending too much time on Phantasy Star lately anyways to give half a shit

Need New Genesis

[winter yew]

I’ve been too busy with Destiny 2 and recently picked up Monster Hunter Rise

[cinder vessel]

smh, folks in the comments of that video mentioning emulation and some others like, "probably didn't because legality" with others nodding along and i'm like

https://tenor.com/view/no-absolutely-not-gif-13012986

it's legal! reverse-engineering shit is legal! running your own backups on reverse-engineered virtual machines is legal!

[winter yew]

Lol reminds me of the the psvita subreddit you be honest

All this talk about how good of a gaming system it could be if it had proper support or whatever, but the second anyone mentions emulators they get shunned

https://tenor.com/view/we-dont-do-that-here-black-panther-tchalla-bruce-gif-16558003

[cinder vessel]

to be fair they're not wrong but also shunning emulation is big fucking stupid

[winter yew]

Yeah they basically tell you ‘go to the other subreddit if you wanna talk about that stuff’

[cinder vessel]

if you're not a lawyer don't fuckin' act like ya know enough about legality to know whether it's gonna burn ya, lmao

also i just realized discord's been showing me running this PS3 emulator for hours now, lmfao

[silver sparrow]
