Will probably try to go for the Tenet Arca Plasmor, found a good 'farming' spot on Pluto get get nightmare tokens 😄 The Capture node on Pluto.

[broken prairie]

hydra all the way obv

plasmor, envoy, cycron are the good ones

people like flux rifle but I do not

I guess the new galvanized CO works on it tho so theres that

[winter yew]

I've gotten the Flux rifle and the Diplos

they aren't bad

[broken prairie]

but are they good

[winter yew]

the lock-on feature of the Diplos is kinda unnecessary in a game like this

but they are a beast

[broken prairie]

buy my licj

do it

[winter yew]

no

[broken prairie]

good deal

[winter yew]

it doesnt have Arca Plasmor, I don't want it

[broken prairie]

just valence ur diplos

Flight simulator 2020 on series x tomorrow!

[winter yew]

Dunno if I got ripped off or not, but I just made 300 plats selling mag relics. Really hoping dude will get something out of them.

guess mag set goes for around 190 plat alone, so if he can get at least two, he's set.

Eh, knowing me and my shit luck I'd just get formas and there's that, so I'm content regardless, and if he manages to roll something good out of em, then fair to him.

[austere lance]

So uh, Splitgate made $10m in two days and if I heard the guy in the Twitch stream right they hit a higher concurrent player count than Master Chief Collection 👀

[winter yew]

nice

[balmy plaza]

Nice to see the genre making a comeback maybe

If infinite goes well too that'll be two arena shooters getting big at the same time

I know doom is one, but that's mainly single player

[austere lance]

It's also the only arena shooter on PS, I'm happy they have a good one!

[willow crypt]

i still gotta give it a shot

I have a harder time playing games that rely on match-style gameplay

Also, I dislike when a fun game I pick up starts to lose its fun, becomes more competitive and more of an addiction

[balmy plaza]

It's sad that a lot of these games have low population but that seems to be changing

[balmy plaza]

Yeah that and FOMO

Have you seen how the battle pass works in infinite?

[willow crypt]

nope

how

[balmy plaza]

It's the usual but it never expires. So if you buy it and stop playing, you can come back and carry on with it whenever. Or if you take a break you can but past passes too

[willow crypt]

oh cool. More flexibility is always good

[balmy plaza]

Yeah definitely. For a f2p it sounds pretty consumer friendly

[willow crypt]

I've always wanted to play the Halo games (only played couch coop at friends' houses years ago). Looking forward to once I get a pc.

[balmy plaza]

Were you looking to do work on it or just game?

[dry copper]

Oh I'm gaming.

I'm sure it will end up doing other things. Regardless I have some prerequisites, like I won't switch to Ryzen unless it's for a 3000 series GPU in a prebuild, otherwise I'd rather stick to an LGA1200 series motherboard with minimum i5

10th series mind you

Anything below the 10th series is 1151, iirc

I wish we could make our dogs look like this

[winter yew]

Aiming for that 1 of each ratio, still missing a few.

ahh

fixed

one was a little out of alignment

If i'm being brutally honest, they don't look aligned at all. :D

lmao.

its annoying to work with

went with a more traditional approach I guess.

oh wow

I mostly went with what it would look like while I was in the Arsenal screen

Guess it looks... Normal. :D

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-says-you-cannot-ignore-windows-11-requirements

Carley said that a device connected to Windows Update “will actually be able to determine [compatibility] by itself before ever being offered [Windows 11] and wasting that download.”

on another subject, dlss vs fsr

Performance is hard to compare directly. For one, there aren't many games that support both FSR and DLSS. There are currently more games in total supporting DLSS, but DLSS has also been out for two and a half years longer than FSR. Plus, DLSS 1.0 games don’t look nearly as good as games with DLSS 2.0 and later. Generally speaking, we’ve found DLSS to offer better image quality, but FSR allows for greater framerate boosts because it’s not as computation-heavy as DLSS.

FSR "supported" cards:

AMD Radeon 6000 Series
AMD Radeon 6000M Series
AMD Radeon 5000 Series
AMD Radeon 5000M Series
AMD Radeon VII
AMD Radeon RX Vega Series
AMD Radeon 600 Series
AMD Radeon RX 500 Series
AMD Radeon RX 480, 470 and 460
AMD Ryzen desktop CPUs with AMD Radeon graphics
AMD Ryzen mobile CPUs with Radeon Graphics
Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 Series
Nvidia GeForce RTX 20 Series
Nvidia GeForce 16 Series
Nvidia GeForce 10 Series

"AMD also noted that it does not provide technical or warranty support for AMD FSR enablement on Nvidia graphics cards."

aha, i expected something like this

at least at an early phase

"These are preferred by people who A) work alone or B) want to subject everyone around them to a cacophony of click-clacks for some reason. These are often Blue, Green or White."

about mechanical keyboard switches

😄

[balmy plaza]

Honestly I love the clacking

My PC had an old dell keyboard before it died and it worked perfectly

[finite hazel]

i'm in option A) so i guess i wouldn't mind; besides, i've been typing and gaming with 15-20y keyboards lol

those click-clack too

😄

[balmy plaza]

It makes writing essays so satisfying too

Those graphics are beautiful

😛

It's Geforce British Columbia

[cinder vessel]

well that's not manipulative at all 😬

[cinder vessel]

hopefully it makes the game better~

[echo hill]

Aren't they?!? Can't wait to get my hands on the game on Saturday

[balmy plaza]

@echo hill what difficulty will you try?

[echo hill]

Highest possible

I wanna get shit on by bots

[austere lance]

That's pretty standard in multiplayer games tbh. Daily XP rewards or whatever that increase with how many consecutive days you play

[balmy plaza]

Yeah I wanna see how good the AI is

I'm betting that in MP matches they'll be the second highest

Or maybe it'll choose depending on the quitter's k/d haha

[cinder vessel]

and it's always gross to me~

[balmy plaza]

Sounds so bloody fun

We also finally get to see the customisation menu and the parts we'll be able to change

[austere lance]

343 is doing a stream talking about the flight and how to download it in two hours 😌

[balmy plaza]

I can't wait

It's lucky we all got in

There's a lot of people who didn't

[winter yew]

I didn't. 😔

[balmy plaza]

Aw damn 😢

Hopefully you'll get in the next one

It's crazy that there's so little gameplay footage available, and people are playing it tomorrow

[idle saffron]

I didnt either

Then again, I didn't try - so not unexpected

[balmy plaza]

For some reason I got invited, even though I've never turned up to other flights I've been invited to

FAKE BATTLE PASS BABYYYY

[echo hill]

Blows my mind that we get to play tomorrow and there's not even an official release date ahha

If you get into the first flight I wonder if you'll get into the rest of them as well

[balmy plaza]

Yeah it's so crazy! Especially since we don't have much footage at all, and absolutely no plain gameplay footage (until in 40 ish mins). We're almost going in blind!

I've got into all the flights somehow, but I do know that they're going to target a bigger audience each flight

So this was defo the hardest to get into

[echo hill]

I'm so happy I got in

Even tho I can't play till saturday

[balmy plaza]

I think the only day I'll be able to play is tomorrow

Even so, it's almost like being given an e3 demo to play instead of having to just watch it haha

[echo hill]

Right?!?

Feels special

[balmy plaza]

Very special!

Halo holds a very special place in a lot of people's hearts, too

I wonder if we'll get new music in the menus

[echo hill]

@austere lance @balmy plaza thoughts?

[balmy plaza]

I really like it! That first match they showed had me skeptical but the full match looked very fun. It definitely looks more in the spirit of halo than either 4 or 5. My only potential issue is the time to kill, which seems quite fast. I'll have to play to form an opinion there though

[echo hill]

Yeah I agree the first vid seemed clunky but I feel like that was just low controller sense

Second vid looked very promising

[long mural]

What in the heck is this statue?

[balmy plaza]

Yeah for sure. I think the person also wasn't playing all that great, just kinda taking potshots at people and dying

😄

[idle saffron]

Clarify or thena may smash (not really)

[finite hazel]

that was more towards the case of year old vulnerabilities still lurking in servers

there's probably no good reason i can think of to hold back security upgrades

can't tell me that it's because of downtime - if downtime was a concern, there would be a backup server to provide redundancy

so yeah, from that point of view, lazy admins

and admins running servers with year old vulnerabilities kinda deserve the wake up call

or get fired

Yep

[finite hazel]

hope 2022 can also see a better dGPU from intel

a strong one

rather than having the laptop underclock after 10 minutes

considering the device that it is

but that's like with 1TB storage

gotta remember that

amd doubles earnings compared to last years quarterly

almost 4B revenue

almost max units too

😛

[sleek cloud]

true and it's funny they compare to the cheapest steam deck model which only holds 64gb

quite incredible the speeds though compacted into such a small device

incoming lawsuit from disney?

[willow crypt]

who knows

oh but also, I hope they're not working on Star Wars games

[full pivot]

[austere lance]

Oh yeah, I should try The Ascent

[full pivot]

how did you summon that to my steam frontpage or did you think of it cuz it was on there

oh its on special nvm

[willow crypt]

I mentioned it earlier

looks really good

[austere lance]

I read that the console port is......questionable

I just started it up to see if it's true and right at the main menu it says "Press any key to start", LMAO

[plucky mesa]

FS2020 keeps crashing hmm

[austere lance]

Hell yeah, foul smoggy shit hole areas

[dry copper]

Tell me Ascent is amazeballs

[austere lance]

The guns on here sound more solid than they do in half the FPS games I've played, LMFAOOOO

Guns got some BOOM

[dry copper]

Boom Boom Boom Boom, I want it in my room

[austere lance]

I like the wacky aliens and armor in this

[dry copper]

I wish so bad that Facebook hadn't fucked their VR...cuz they really had no competition in their price point.

Ascent looks like it would be great to play with friends.

@sleek cloud That was nightmare inducing lol

[idle saffron]

@orchid flax

Yep I did

[austere lance]

Aaaaaand uninstalled The Ascent. Went after a side mission that said it was lvl 2, took me through lvl 10 enemy territory, and made me respawn in an area I literally can't live long enough to escape from every time I died

[winter yew]

I should play Alien again.

One of the handful of games that genuinely scares the shit out of me. Ridiculously atmospheric.

[idle saffron]

Ton of fun

[winter yew]

It really is.

[idle saffron]

I grabbed the dlc also when it went on sale

[winter yew]

I recently grabbed that when Epic gave it away for free. I thought it a great excuse to sit through again.

[idle saffron]

People say we monkey around

[cinder vessel]

more Outer Wilds 😍

[winter yew]

I really wanted to like Outer Worlds but it failed to click with me, unfortunately.

Wilds*

Wrong game

[cinder vessel]

try Outer Wilds again sometime

[winter yew]

I struggled with the loop which I know is the core gameplay but I hated being in the middle of exploring or about to work out what is going on and then back to the beginning.

remember your ship keeps a log of findings, so you're never starting completely over

okay I'm excited for this

[shadow tartan]

I posted the trailer for Lamb yesterday too

I need to watch Pig

[willow crypt]

[shadow tartan]

Animal related things are the best

Yeah movies mate

[willow crypt]

I saw the image for Lamb, looks like a horror

[idle saffron]

@winter yew

[willow crypt]

thanks

why can't i tag her?

[shadow tartan]

Dude watch the trailer, I watched it about 7 times because it cracks me up

[idle saffron]

No clue

[willow crypt]

maybe a preference

[idle saffron]

You can use discord syntax still

Copy id

<@idnumberhere>

[shadow tartan]

Because of the font I think @willow crypt

Or maybe if you're using your mobile

[idle saffron]

That's what I'm using

[shadow tartan]

Same, it's the latest flagship

Fk Samsung

[willow crypt]

interesting

[shadow tartan]

And Apple

[willow crypt]

huh. i'm not on mobile, yeah could be font

[shadow tartan]

Can you right click on the name and mention?

[willow crypt]

oh yeah I can, but I'd have to go find a previous message up above in the same channel it seems

[shadow tartan]

Yeah or the mention that Glen Gleam made

[willow crypt]

[willow crypt]

whoa how did you get outside the arena

[idle saffron]

Talos Principle

[winter yew]

I've been looking forward to playing Stray

[willow crypt]

it looks brilliant

[winter yew]

I just hope it doesn't make me cry

Or maybe I want it to. Best games are the ones that shred your emotions into an itty bitty mess

[dry copper]

Assassins Creed Eqypt

[winter yew]

I got sad at Bioshock tbh.

[willow crypt]

if they do it in a way that catches you off guard and isn't predictable

@shadow tartan that Lamb trailer is well done, i like the song choice

[dry copper]

I was sad at A Tale of Two Brothers

[willow crypt]

love that game

[winter yew]

Ori did that to me the other day
It was kind of predictable, but I felt like shit when it actually happened

[willow crypt]

dang

[dry copper]

I wasn't nearly as emotional as I've seen other gamers playing the end of RDR2

[willow crypt]

not sure there are many games that make me feel that much emotion

[idle saffron]

Rdr2 didn't do anything for my emotions

Life is strange did

[willow crypt]

still gotta finish Rd2

[idle saffron]

Hellblade did

[winter yew]

RDR2 didn't solely because I played RDR which made the ending predictable and very expected.

Fantastic story though, one of the best for sure.

I get ridiculously invested into video games world/plot/characters so it's easy for me to get emotional.

[austere lance]

Don't play Ori then 😭

[winter yew]

I just experienced the first game the other day

[austere lance]

I don't feel sad about basically anything in games but Ori and the Will of the Wisps wrecked me 😭

[willow crypt]

I remember people saying they cried while playing Journey, and I think hearing all that kinda ruined the emotional part of the experience

I loved it, but I didn't feel those things

[winter yew]

Journey was such a fantastic experience

Journey is an interactive art piece IMO.

[willow crypt]

tis

and so is Sky, from what I've played

[austere lance]

Ori hits hard 😔

[winter yew]

I tried getting my eldest child to play Journey but she couldn't get in to it. 😕

[winter yew]

Since I'm currently experiencing the sequel I'll probably understand your pain soon.

[dry copper]

It's weird. I have a sick computer now that can run Cyberpunk easy peasy but almost no inclination to even bother with it.

I think Cyberpunk ruined that sensation of excitement I used to get in new up and coming games

[willow crypt]

unfortunately there are the gamers who don't get invested in the deeper story driven games, but want that action packed, multiplayer experience that leaves no room to think

[dry copper]

I want to know when I'll, if ever feel excited for a game again\

[willow crypt]

not that i assume your child is like that lol

[winter yew]

I assumed she'd enjoy it cause she sat through Abzu in a single sitting, which I know isn't difficult.

[willow crypt]

next tuesday. just you wait

[dry copper]

I was more excited to run a benchmark on this computer than I was to finally play Cyberpunk

[winter yew]

So I told her to try Journey and it just didn't work with her. 😕

[willow crypt]

ha i never finished Abzu

[dry copper]

What's on next tuesday?

I finished Abzu in one sitting...It wasn't difficult. It wasn't very entertaining...It was like a game demo

[willow crypt]

maybe she got from Abzu what she would've gotten from Journey

and it didn't have the same effect

[dry copper]

The best part of Abzu was swimming with fish

What's going to happen on Tuesday re games?

[winter yew]

Eh maybe.

[willow crypt]

nothing unfortunately

[winter yew]

😔

[austere lance]

I had the opposite happen, I bought a game just to see how much I hated it then ended up dropping 20+ hours into it within 4 days 😆@dry copper

[willow crypt]

WHOA did anyone share this today?

https://youtu.be/XdYJJU8J8iw

it’s like Twisted Metal in the sky!

[austere lance]

Crimson Skies

Oh nvm that has racing

[willow crypt]

looks fun

also, who remembers the Aladdin intro https://youtu.be/FgkkgtTFBVQ

[earnest hatch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-pSBqK9nSQ&ab_channel=FrozenbyteGames

anyone see this

I bought it and it looks intersting

[winter yew]

Crimson Skies was so fun. I miss it

It was basically Twisted Metal but planes

I don’t recall it having racing but there has been a racing game with planes, I remember playing one on Steam awhile back

Oh wait it was ALSO Skydrift lmao

Infinity just looks like a prettier version

[austere lance]

It's backwards compatible and just got added to Game Pass with One X enhancements so it runs in 4k with cleaned up textures 😌

@echo hill This uh, this is different

[cinder vessel]

i was interested until it went full MMO

[earnest hatch]

I returned it to get ULTRAKILL

[echo hill]

What you think?

[austere lance]

Idk cuz I only got through 1 1/2 matches before it crashed, I'm loving the shotgun and BR and sound design tho 😫

The AI are entertaining, I picked the triangle boi and he sounds like Spider-Man

[glass plinth]

So how has The Ascent been?

I heard its rather short?

Really thinking about getting it

[austere lance]

Meh

[willow crypt]

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher is pretty

[austere lance]

It's convoluted and full of too much, well, filler

[glass plinth]

The ascent Soul?

Im not against filler

If its good

Take planescape torment, half the game was filler to get to know the world

Mind you the writing for that was so stellar it was worth it

[cinder vessel]

it's not really filler if it's good though, is it?

[austere lance]

Yeah

And no it's not good filler

[willow crypt]

filler is generally bad, unneeded content that lowers the quality of a game overall

though we could say that about many of these games that consume hundreds of hours of our time

[glass plinth]

I guess i feel a bit differently, I dont want all the story to be main story

I sorta like a 3 tier system

Main story, branch story and filler

I loathe straight to the point rpgs lol

[willow crypt]

no i agree, i like well written side quests and occasionally some fun, no thinking tasks

but sometimes it’s just bleh

like, why would i waste my time doing this, i can just move on to the next game

[glass plinth]

Aye

Honestly, I havent played a rpg in so long..

[willow crypt]

last one i played was Disco Elysium

[glass plinth]

I guess outward was the last

I like survival open world rpgs

[willow crypt]

any good?

i saw a bit of outward gameplay

[glass plinth]

Its primitive in a way

I love it, most wouldnt

In my opinion

Im probably going to finally play Witcher 3

Not like i have a excuse not to when I can get the entire series for 8 bucks

lol

That or Horizon

Hrmm, leaning more towards horizon

[willow crypt]

Horizon is a more solid, concise game

Witcher 3 had brilliant moments in its story and exploration, but was a bit too long for me

[glass plinth]

I prefer wandering meandering games

But Horizon looks solid

Plus I can get horizon for like 22 bucks.

[willow crypt]

you’d probably enjoy Witcher 3 more

[glass plinth]

Anywho, we will see

[austere lance]

They're not even side stories, they're straight up filler

The game's uh, pretty rough

[willow crypt]

7 veteran devs right?

or close to that

[austere lance]

No idea

[willow crypt]

it’s a very small team of devs

[glass plinth]

12

Plus 100 subcontractors

According to what i can find

So typical small indie

[willow crypt]

whoa really

[cinder vessel]

speaking of filler, y'know the subtlest filler, at least in some games? the world size & travel times.

The only situation where I feel like it becomes super obvious is space games since it's literally empty space, but open world games in general I feel like use travel speed to pad things out more than folks may realize

[charred badge]

it's obvious in games like elder scrolls that will try to distract the player with 500 different mini quests on any path between anything significant

[balmy plaza]

Really enjoying halo infinite

Time to kill is a tad fast but that's my only complaint

[winter yew]

I've only had a game or two but I'm really feeling it

i know this is a late response, but no it's on steam and also gamepass PC

[austere lance]

Did three matches and ran some weapon drills, it's LIT

[balmy plaza]

I think they've really nailed it

Here's my spartan

[austere lance]

It refuses to upload screenshots from the game on my Xbox, lol

Yeah, I tried being Grav Hammer Spider-Man and got my ass beat

[balmy plaza]

The hammer grapple combo is so fun

You can also grapple onto an enemy, and get close to melee

[long mural]

Hoo boy, I have completed a lot of missions in Mass Effect 2, and I’ve gotten far enough to start the final mission.
But I don’t feel ready yet, still got some missions to do, I know I gotta do it eventually, but it makes me worried

Makes me very, very worried

[austere lance]

Do the companion missions, lol

[long mural]

I know, I have done most of them, still need to do Jacob’s mission, but it doesn’t really decrease the worry by much

[dry copper]

Note: If you don't do the companion missions, you will regret it

It changes how the story ends fundamentally

well...assuming you care about the companions

[long mural]

I now have all the companion missions done
And while there are some crewmates I don’t necessarily care for, a crewmate is a crewmate, and I will help out.

And not so surprisingly, it’s a lot of the Human companions I don’t care for too much, and it’s usually the aliens that I care for and enjoy more

[echo hill]

AHHHH I GET TO PLAY IN A FEW HOURS

[long mural]

I can’t tell if that’s like a rocket launcher or something akin to a harpoon gun

Probably the second option, cuz of the name of the weapon

[balmy plaza]

Hope you have fun!

[balmy plaza]

It's like a javelin launcher thing, so I guess it's a harpoon thing. It plays kinda like a mix between a sniper and a rocket launcher

[long mural]

Huh

[balmy plaza]

I think it's mainly an anti vehicle weapon

[echo hill]

How cool would it be if it pinned enemies to walls

[sleek cloud]

loved doing that with the crossbow in HL2

[balmy plaza]

That'd be so cool!

I want to see what the other forerunner weapons look like

[echo hill]

Oh there's another one?

[balmy plaza]

I hope so

Also, big word of warning, be careful of spoilers

[echo hill]

I mean there is a plot, just it comes out after a couple of planets, but seriously, if they explained mods and stuff to people in game it would help people stay

Fun game when it wants to be, yeah, but I’ll agree, it would work better with better explanations and/or if it was something other than an MMO

[austere lance]

Pontiff Sulyvhan can EAT MY FUCKING BUNGHOLE

[glacial ridge]

I have to agree with @austere lance, split gate is SUPER fun

best game ive played in a while

its like a fps but with a twist

like fortnite

and there is so many places they could expand the game

[balmy plaza]

@echo hill you been able to play?

[echo hill]

yep! love it so far

Splitgate Discord has 400k+ members now, good lord

[long mural]

And now that’s Mass Effect 2 completed, with everyone making it in one piece
Just had to play smart and make everyone loyal. I was worried, but I’m glad everyone made it in one piece.

[austere lance]

Even the crew?

[long mural]

The remaining crew should be fine, had Grunt lead them and made it out with no casualties

[austere lance]

Noice

So Kelly Chambers made it?

[long mural]

Um...

[austere lance]

Uh oh 😆

[long mural]

Yeah, she didn’t make it as far as I can see
And that makes me sad

[austere lance]

RIP

I can tell you how to save everyone next time if you want 😆

[long mural]

Oh well, at least the Doc made it

[austere lance]

Lol

[long mural]

Kinda went with Grunt since, you know, he a strong boy and I hope he would make it, he did

[austere lance]

I literally have a checklist memorized to save every single character, LMAO

Works 100% of the time 😌

[long mural]

But hey, I’m surprised I managed to save all the companions in one go, well expect the black screen that lasted for a quite a while, had to close and reopen the game and it fixed it, but other than that, one go

But in the end, everyone lives, made the Illusive Man pissed, and established a romantic link with Tali
What a ride

[austere lance]

Now do 3 👀

3 is absolutely batshit insane

[long mural]

Not gonna start it now, just want some inbetween time before starting
But I’ll get to it when I get the chance

[austere lance]

3 starts off full speed then goes Mach 5, LMAO

[long mural]

The fate of the Galaxy will be in your hands for the third time, but with higher stakes in hand

[austere lance]

You do Arrival in ME2?

[long mural]

Yeah

I’ve done all the missions I can before the final mission

[austere lance]

[long mural]

Did ‘em all just in case the game didn’t allow me to return to the save file

Not sure how much Arrival will effect the next game, but I have a feeling it’ll effect it in some degree

But we’ll see

i might have a shot at buying an i5 4670k for cheap, 50€

even though my g3258 is an overclocking beast.. it only has 2 threads, so it looses

i'll probably get it, same socket, so it would be just a matter of dropping it in

Anyone plays Star Citizen?

I just wanted to know if u only needed to buy the starter pack and that rest of the ships can be purchased via in-game currency or not?

[broken prairie]

yeah u can get the ships normally as far as I know

Is it actually worth playing now?

Also, friendly reminder, BF1 seems to be f2p now

[bitter iron]

In what sense do u mean worth?

[broken prairie]

like is there stuff to do beside mining and delivery lol

[bitter iron]

Uhh

I really don't know I've yet to buy it, that's y I asked

[charred badge]

Oh man, I found an old coupon. Hah.

[austere lance]

[cinder vessel]

@bitter iron wait for one of the free fly weekends or something, don't spend anything on it atm

[austere lance]

@idle saffron Do it, hop on the Splitgate wagon with the 509k people in their Discord 😌

[idle saffron]

Yikes!

That's about 509k too many for me lol

[austere lance]

You shoot people and toss portals around, what's not to love 😌

[idle saffron]

hm who dat

[winter yew]

Update 6 for planet tech is a game changer.

I jumped on real quick yesterday and the improvements were huge.

[silver sparrow]

ED or SC

[winter yew]

Looks like ED.

[silver sparrow]

empirical dysfunction

[idle saffron]

ED

And thats a Krait

[vital hedge]

yes

i like breaking and entering with the maverick suit

entertaining

[idle saffron]

She grabbed one of those

Been checking out planets

[vital hedge]

i mean they all look the same sadly

[idle saffron]

Nah

[winter yew]

Not a valid statement anymore. Thursday implemented new planet tech, a lot more variety.

[glacial ridge]

I'd liek to add that i almost never go in public game chat, but i have for quite a few games now and 0 toxicity and i dont think ive even heard a swear lol

super chill

[charred badge]

Have they gotten performance nailed down?

[winter yew]

They implemented AMD FSR to combat the performance. It's working to an extent, a definite improvement.

[charred badge]

Nice

Meanwhile making it to my ship in SC is still iffy, lol

[full pivot]

Hint: move the camera behind you in flight and detach it 😛

[broken prairie]

game?

[full pivot]

Elite: Dangerous

[charred badge]

ED has a pretty great screenshot mode

It's probably the best use-case for the docking computer, lol

[full pivot]

it tethers behind you and you can fly with the camera basically chasing you but not locked right on your ass

[charred badge]

Only downside is you get zero HUD

Although it's kinda fun to switch the camera around and see that the UI is part of the cockpit graphics

[balmy plaza]

How is odyssey doing these days?

[vital hedge]

definitely playable

[sleek cloud]

If it is I might get it

[snow zenith]

League knows how to tempt me

[charred badge]

how to spot a whale

[balmy plaza]

Bruh

[bitter iron]

Alright 👍

[fervent fog]

Yo pleb what world you on

[opaque marsh]

Guys, how is Elite? Its a good game? and what about the mmorpg aspect? how do you interact with other players?

[blazing torrent]

you get that mount for recruiting 3 friends

[full pivot]

Elite is a game

[sleek cloud]

First print!

Turned out better than I expected

[idle saffron]

Looks good

[sleek cloud]

2nd one, any guesses?

[idle saffron]

Ummm

Nope

[sleek cloud]

Witcher emblem

[idle saffron]

Nice!

[fervent fog]

give

me

[balmy plaza]

I'd say it's good. The MMO aspects and interaction aren't really that present, though. And I'd avoid or at least the wary of odyssey

[sleek cloud]

also, how epic is this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS4Q-WWyl3Q

[winter yew]

Pretty epic yea

Have you heard Trivium’s cover??

https://youtu.be/nbAk_IqR1Rg

They did a full band / studio version too 😵

https://youtu.be/ZmVDHgTIvUY

[sleek cloud]

[charred badge]

That giant dragon? Neat.

I think I'm in famfrit?

[charred badge]

Ok, so the whale mount is the sky whale

Lol

[cerulean kite]

[sleek cloud]

2nd of the day, just doing smaller prints for now

[cerulean kite]

nice nice

[sleek cloud]

what kind of things do you print? got a gallery ?

[cerulean kite]

will send in a bit, bout to leave a parking garage and will b driving

[sleek cloud]

fair enough, safe driving

[cerulean kite]

ok home safe. so ive been printing for a few years now. ive made all sorts of things, printed lots of thingiverse/myminifactory doodads, but design my own stuff too, including parts at work. my first big project was designing the machine in this paper

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2019.00613/full

which utilized a bunch of parts designed and printed by me. the past year ive mostly been designing, printing, and selling a yoyo accessory called a counterweight which is used for "5A" style yoyoing as can be seen here:

https://youtu.be/0wYX2jnv60o

pics below

stegosaurus from thingiverse, one of my favs

[sleek cloud]

oh wow, that's super cool. What kind of paints would you recommend using ?

[cerulean kite]

various counterweights

also i designed a replacement shell for this cheap drone i have

aaand finally, the print enclosure i built

[sleek cloud]

awesome stuff, amazing what can be done with these printers

[cerulean kite]

tbh idk. acrylic should work? i dont paint stuff too often. i have some friends that do, but they use airbrushing, not sure what paint that is.

[cerulean kite]

yeah its super cool what can be done. do you do any 3d modeling yourself?

[sleek cloud]

ye i've been reading and acrylic seems like the one to go for

never done 3d modelling

[cerulean kite]

yeah acrylic most likely to not have an effect on the plastic, other paints could have a chemical reaction i suppose.

well if youre interested there are some very good CAD programs you can get for free. i use Fusion 360 at home, but theres also Freecad which i havent used

[sleek cloud]

also enamels and lacquers

[cerulean kite]

do you primarily print PLA?

[sleek cloud]

just using the sample stuff it gives you

[cerulean kite]

gotcha gotcha

[sleek cloud]

i have ordered some PLA+

[cerulean kite]

its PLA i believe

nice PLA+ is great. what brand?

[sleek cloud]

eSUN

[cerulean kite]

i have uhh... a few options atm 😂
