I absolutely hate how twitch keeps recommending to me Amouranth....I've never watched her crap. I hate ASMR

[glass plinth]

Welp, you can filter that

If you so please

I dont really pay attention to recommendations

Though I forget how I blocked some people from showing up in recommendations

[dry copper]

Can you filter out the people who play games on loud mechanical keyboards, so you get to hear CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK the entire time they're playing?

[glass plinth]

No

Thats on you

[dry copper]

I wonder if that's something people don't mind.

[glass plinth]

The same as its on you to filter out people with random cats, or a bird

[dry copper]

I personally hate hearing clicking keyboards.

[glass plinth]

I hate birds..

Present company not included

😛

[dry copper]

That's not a bird profile picture.

[glass plinth]

Close enough.

[snow zenith]

Well

[snow zenith]

Activision Blizzard has Activision & Blizzard as subsidiaries

So

Can be confusing lmao

[full pivot]

@winter yew methinks thou doth protest too much

[winter yew]

I hate chris roberts

[full pivot]

I see its opposite day

[winter yew]

i’m srs

i am angery

[full pivot]

Can't be angry its only an alpha

[winter yew]

that i spent 110 bucks on

my fault tbh

[full pivot]

Did you try messing with water bottles yet?

[winter yew]

i did buy a bottle of something

juice probably

god. i’m gonna try and play sc with a friend asap

see if experiencing it with the homies could help

[full pivot]

The water bottles made me quit forever until it releases

Not just drinking water its messing with the object after

You can crash the game by putting it away in your inventory and retrieving it from the inventory menu

And/or spawn a clone that isnt real that is forever stuck in your hand

Just a micro example of how unstable the entire thing really is

https://youtu.be/NRFE54svs6E

This would be good to play in the bg while playing SC

[winter yew]

My favourite part of SC is climbing in my Aurora and immediately falling out the other side.

A mini game in itself to stay inside the ship after climbing steps to get in.

[full pivot]

Did yours spontaneously cease to exist as well?

The F7 Hornet tends to blow up and trap the cockpit in space mid-flight

[winter yew]

It's ridiculous how bad some of the bugs are.

[full pivot]

Shows how continuously far it is from even being able to be a beta

[winter yew]

I hate how beautiful the game is though, it's great to look at it and still blows my mind how nice it looks but then I forget about that when something dumb happens.

[cinder vessel]

just looks like a tech demo tbh

and kinda plays like one too i guess

[full pivot]

The locations do light up the imagination

Kinda why I liked when you could have the huge money version and just play around

[cinder vessel]

OH! This reminds me tho, Exo One just came out for a sorta hidef space game

Not really that similar to SC ofc, but has that sharp look to it

[full pivot]

Yeah I posted the trailer yesterday and then forgot

[winter yew]

Pickup/Drop off missions are fun when they work but it's too janky to enjoy for long periods.
Head to location, pickup box, store in ship, physics makes thing unstable and your ship starts doing backflips and eventually exploding.

[cinder vessel]

...So they can't even get a fetch quest working reliably?

[full pivot]

I drove a vehicle into the Constellation in the million credits mode

Actually got it to another planet despite the jank

The only way it could be stored on the elevator was upside down 😁

[winter yew]

Elevators are another fun jank. A game of "will the elevator spawn when the door opens".

50% odds.

[full pivot]

Will it lead to a station or the void station

[winter yew]

😩

[full pivot]

I don't remember the name of it but I spent one session trying to get away from the station in orbit above that desert planet

[cinder vessel]

Speaking of physics jank, albeit more intentional physics jank, Contraption Maker is a charming little physics-puzzle game

[full pivot]

I would always get murdered by something and have to respawn back there

[austere lance]

Every gaming news site on the planet just got the go ahead to dump Halo Infinite campaign news and gameplay everywhere, just a heads up

Its interesting to me that several streamers are like refusing the Elden Ring early access

[cinder vessel]

I should review what's coming out, I've been kinda ignoring that as I try to focus on what I have

[winter yew]

can’t be spoiled if i don’t care about xbox exclusives that should’ve died years ago

[cinder vessel]

i've just been seeing the usual it's pretty good stuff, which is basically all you see for big franchise stuff anyway

[full pivot]

Only reason I care about BF2042 is cuz a couple irl friends wanna play it

And then I care about other games for game night 😝

I'm a fan of multiplayer with ppl I already know somewhat

I love the concept for this game

You age when you die

I think?

Is this the same game?

[austere lance]

Yee

But you get more experience (no idea what it does) as you age

[dry copper]

Theoretically you can finish the game super young, but the thing is...As you get older the difficulty goes down too

Or oh yeah you level

So you do more damage

It would get easier

I'd be inclined to die until I was an old white bearded monkey master

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9h3HvfnbIE

[austere lance]

That prequel game to Remnant does the "age as you die" thing too, iirc

[dry copper]

?

Remnant?

The combat in this game remind me of "Sleeping Dogs"

[austere lance]

But once you get too old you get worse at melee combat, and you make up for it by becoming stronger in magic

[austere lance]

Remnant: From the Ashes

Directional throws look so fun

Oh wait, I had only skimmed this before, I thought it already had random procedural planets but I guess not?

So that's another really big thing

[full pivot]

No they were designed so far but yeah considering the fractal system that'll be trippy

Game triggered my thallasaphobia

Cube sky planet of all things 😓

[cinder vessel]

I need to set aside some time, get & play this. I think by now it's probably sorted out performance hiccups

[full pivot]

Wonder if there will be fall damage

[sleek cloud]

a shame really, was hoping this would be the next best Battlefield

[austere lance]

I knew it was trash as soon as I played the beta, lol

[sleek cloud]

seems like the only thing worth getting it for is Portal which is where you're basically playing the previous games 😄

[austere lance]

Yep

[sleek cloud]

i can't even be arsed to download the free 10 hour trial, might just wait for it to be out on ea play give it a go then

I'm making cursed rockets in this rocket YouTuber game

This game's fun, you're basically an amateur rocket enthusiast on YouTube who gets more and more famous

Weird premise, neat

[austere lance]

You get more and more parts to build rockets from companies and random people who follow your videos, it's cool. Some kid stole his sister's doll and sent it to me, that's how I got it

A fireworks company is giving me shit now so I can put em in the rockets

when you evaluate what i say

keep in mind that i used the wrong color glowsticks in Labyrinthine to troll my own team

so they would die

[snow zenith]

You monster lmao

dude like no joke

i was the most toxic player in that game lmfao

"just follow pink!"

and it lead to their death

what you think Code?

which swordmaster would you trust more?

https://tenor.com/view/trunks-gif-21944511

[snow zenith]

Link

Mostly because I never got into DBZ so I don't know anything about Trunks lol

[full pivot]

really? i'd totally date Trunks myself

but to each their own

[snow zenith]

OH

[full pivot]

HEHEHE

gottem

but if framed thatt way

cast vote

[winter yew]

Trunks because he can actually talk

[full pivot]

i don't need my bitches to talk

🤐

[winter yew]

how am i supposed to trust link and communicate when he just grunts and moans

[snow zenith]

Trunks can ram that sword in me anytime

I mean what

[full pivot]

i approve

[winter yew]

like he did zamasu

[snow zenith]

Isn't that all you need

ayo code is wildin out today

[winter yew]

i don’t understand how people can get into dbz without growing up with it

[snow zenith]

I mean it was like

stuff that everyone watched as a kid

that and naruto and one peice

piece

I just never got into anime

[winter yew]

i did and it’s one of my favorite shows ever. but to an outsider all grown up? it’s pretty dang slow

[snow zenith]

With some exceptions

[full pivot]

waitwait

[winter yew]

[full pivot]

https://youtu.be/V4_Mzna8Hy0

if this isn't THE selling point for Trunks

[winter yew]

you watched the sub?

[full pivot]

yes

i prefer the japanese VAs

[snow zenith]

The sword glows that's pretty cool

[winter yew]

aight

[full pivot]

its such a good scene

[snow zenith]

I always watch animes sub

[winter yew]

even though it makes no sense

it looks pretty

[snow zenith]

It happened when I watched the entire first season dubbed

[winter yew]

and that’s what matters

[snow zenith]

and then switched in season 2 and

realised I had to go back and rewatch season 1

of Attack on Titan*

[full pivot]

the lines are messed up otherwise even in Xenoverse 2

blame my writer side

🥲

[dry copper]

Done.

[snow zenith]

Nice

Did you like

[dry copper]

I did not see that ending coming.

Even up to the point it did.

I remembered a conversation they had in the first episode about wanting to fly in one of those air ships and a comment powder made....

I hate the cliff hangers, but the rest was good.

I hate the cliff hanger because it's the first damn season of a show that might not ever have a second one.

[snow zenith]

adsadasdsadasdasspoilers

[dry copper]

What spoiler?

Every single episode of the show ends with a cliff hanger.

That doesn't bug you?

That's why I liked Final Fantasy. The story hand an end and it was compelling enough, inspired enough to drive me to the next in the series.

It didn't rely on teasing

I like the writing up to the choice they clearly made to drag things out...but then, maybe it's for a book

Is there a book?

Runeterra

[snow zenith]

No lol

There's a shitton of lore in the Universe website

short stories, champion bios, etc

SOme comic too

comics

https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/

[dry copper]

That universe website reminds me of something one of the writers over at Starbase told me about that game. Tons of lore, no real story

[snow zenith]

Well it's a MOBA game

most people don't care/think it's an afterthought

Arcane was exactly what the lore nerds like me have been asking for ages

[dry copper]

I worry there won't be a second season if this series was written to prop some other material, like a game launch or structured series of launches.

Or maybe they're almost done the game and are just going to shadow drop it one day and shock the shit out of everyone

The animation style and voice acting was pretty top tier.

Not surprised that just before the third release came out, Imagine Dragons dropped their new album

[snow zenith]

Kinda the other way around tbh

Every one of their games had massive Arcane advertisement

and other games too like Fortnite and PUBG

Think Riot wants to develop this more and I hope they do

[dry copper]

Never played fortnite or pubg

I'm out of touch with the source material and most games lol

[snow zenith]

I liked the tone of the show

so they can totally pick it up and do a game of thrones style thing

Noxus is the perfect set

https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_AU/champion/swain/

Bring my boy swain into the mix pls

[dry copper]

The way the character of Powder progresses is...disturbing.

[snow zenith]

It's funny how people that aren't into League but watched Arcane react to some characters

[dry copper]

She clearly has some form of psychosis and stockholm syndrom

[snow zenith]

Jinx was always Jinx for us

[dry copper]

Though...that first scene after the episode where vi is arrested...I don't understand that interaction between powder and silco

She hugs him. She has snapped. Why she hugged him is beyond me.

I imagine she was looking for support and willing to accept it from anywhere

Maybe she saw a person of authority and clung to security

Though she was there and saw who was behind the whole shebang, so I find it hard to believe she didn't know his role in the whole ordeal

She also seems to have PTSD, which may be the source of her state of mind

Obviously for her guilty conscience

Anyway, yeah I liked it.

@snow zenith What is the most obscure "truth" of interest/value, you could say of the League of Legends lore?

[snow zenith]

Well, there's these things from a place called the Void (which is basically not-existence), called the Watchers. that want to eat everything so they can go back and forget they exist. It's not really super obscure, but people don't really know about it much.

[dry copper]

Are they pulled from the void by the use of the hextech?

[snow zenith]

No.

Hextech is another thing.

[dry copper]

I got the distinct impression that the hex heart core thing was alive and conscious

[snow zenith]

There's this species called the Brackern that are essentially living crystals and they pass their memories from crystal to crystal on to the next generations. That's what Piltover's mining, all that singing and wooshing is actually just the Brackern pleading to stop lol.

[dry copper]

singing?

Are you calling Imagine Dragons a crystal?

[snow zenith]

What..

[dry copper]

What singing and whooshing?

[snow zenith]

The crystals make noise did you never hear it.

[dry copper]

nope

Oh the blue things?

[snow zenith]

Yes

[dry copper]

The source of the hextech

[snow zenith]

Yes, the hex crystals.

[dry copper]

So they are literally consuming the memories of a brackern to make hex?

[snow zenith]

No, they use the crystals as a power source. Hex is just what they call them, it isn't a thing in itself.

Brackern call them namestones.

I doubt this'll ever seriously be addressed in the show, Brackern are asleep & there's only one of them awake trying to hide all his other friends.

[dry copper]

Skarner?

[snow zenith]

Skarner's a Brackern.

Also a champion in the game.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/56/Skarner_OriginalSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1200?cb=20181021041751

[fervent fog]

aren't the hex crystals literally their heart or something

and anyone who uses hextech consciously tells Skarner's race to eat shit

[dry copper]

If my reading is correct, the brackern are the crystals.

Living crystals

Though I'm confused by the process of their species searching for crystals if they are already crystals

The story of Skarner seems to suggest they have an agenda, to pass along memories through crystals and pursue the one meant for them to bond with

They live on in their memories passed along

Reminds me of Advent Children

[snow zenith]

They have

bodies made of crystal

the namestones are just part of their bodies

[charred badge]

made heat axes ofc

[fervent fog]

well that's a Japanese game poorly translated to English for sure

45 hours since launch on monday

[dry copper]

Finished The Ascent. I can't find anymore missions. Did every main and every secondary that was available...

Apparently not many beat the game

At least according to steam stats

Only 10.6% of players have the "Complete all Main Missions" achievement

I really enjoyed this game. It was different.

Got vibes from my sega genesis days of playing Reloaded, or before that of playing Contra

Apparently I don't have all side missions. Don't have that achievement yet

@bold crag It's out

Go ham

[bold crag]

My dolphins shall drown that pathetic rock you call your home world

[snow zenith]

I'm gonna buy Utopia, Feds, Apocalypse and Leviathan now.

Those feel like the essential ones

[bold crag]

Hmm

Distant stars is a very good dlc too

And synthetic dawn

I don't know how much apocalypse is needed

What does apocalypse add again

[snow zenith]

Well, my little DLC buying list is shit that will benefit my playthroughs immediately - not gonna buy Synthetic Dawn if I'm not gonna play machines anytime soon.
Even what I consider essential is already 70 euros, this game isn't exactly cheap 😭

[bold crag]

Doesn't apocalypse just add the collosus juggernaut and a few origins

[snow zenith]

Adds the planet exploding shit and some other stuff I can't remember rn.

[bold crag]

I looked at it collosus, titan, civics, ascension perk, marauders

[snow zenith]

Stellaris DLC

Essential: (must buy)

• Utopia.
• Federations.
• Apocalypse.
• Leviathans Story Pack.

Great: (can wait to buy or buy on sales)

• Nemesis.
• MegaCorp.
• Ancient Relics Story Pack.
• Distant Stars Story Pack.
• Synthetic Dawn Story Pack.

Good: (buy on sales)

• Necroids Species Pack.
• Lithoids Species Pack.
• Aquatics Species Pack.
• Plantoids Species Pack.

Bad: (don't buy unless it's the last DLC you don't have I guess)

• Humanoids Species Pack.

This my little list

[bold crag]

Is that a list you found?

[snow zenith]

Nah, made it.

Did some research on the DLCs.

[bold crag]

I don't think apocalypse is essential

Utopia is probably the best dlc out there

Federations is very good because it gives you origins

And distant stars and ancient relics spice the game up fantastically

Those would be the ones I would get personally

The only problem with federations is that most origins come from different dlc so I don't know how many are there by default

[snow zenith]

I might just say fuck it and buy keys instead of from Steam.

[glass plinth]

We talking about stellaris?

[bold crag]

Yes

[glass plinth]

Great game

Worth it

HA! @shadow tartan I love that album Zavodovski Island is a favorite song of mine

[winter yew]

the only game i’ve played in the past 5 days is star citizen

i think it goes without saying that i hate myself

[glass plinth]

Ive been deep in a Alpha test and NMS

Honestly, the games Ive been testing are bloody amazing.

I LOVE the small studios popping up and how skilled they seem to be

To a degree whats going on at Riot, Blizzard and the big studios has been driving a immense shift in talent to smaller better ran companies

good times

[crisp sparrow]

I only managed to win by slowing Cynthia's pokemon using Sticky Web

and my Floatzel was then faster than Garchomp to set up the ice beam, faint, revive, ice beam again

but man I was not expecting the elite 4 to actually be a bit hard, they changed the pokemon's moves and gave them held items

OG Diamond/Pearl were much easier in comparison

and like, gave them some competitive moves lol I think they straight up grabbed some from Smogon

[shadow tartan]

Playing live again soon

[shadow tartan]

Thought you might know this, I saw them at the Barbican a long time ago and might get tickets again

[golden gull]

Would you believe me if I said this wasn't a boss?

Also, yes I have a pumpkin on my head and yes, it is actually useful in-game.

[glass plinth]

Anything with handpans I love

Also what the heck man, I keep having birds hit my window today at the office

Seems they have that virus they had a few years back again

Le sigh

[shadow tartan]

Same, I love the steel drums at Notting Hill carnival too

[glass plinth]

Hand pans are amoung the easiest instruments to play

I had the pleasure of using a few at music festivals and was really happy I could just jump into a group

No training necessary really beyond basic tonal awareness

[silver sparrow]

tongue drums are nice and much cheaper for casual interest

My favorite part is where it closes by basically saying, this could all be bullshit with:

We have reached out to Nintendo for comment on this story but did not receive a reply back by the time of publication.

Though I still believe it happened

Too orchestrated.

Almost deliberately

As far as I'm concerned, this was Bowser's response to inquiries

[winter yew]

I'll try doing Cayo heist tbh. I'm about to stop doing any work for a few weeks so I should have plenty of time.

[snow zenith]

martial law for 3427 days

[idle saffron]

My advice for Cayo? Don't even worry about anything besides the main target when you do the heist - if you are doing it solo - you can run the actual heist itself in 10 minutes

And you will get 100% of the take - if you make it under 15 minutes on hard difficulty you get 100k bonus, so every run would be a million even with the worst main target

[winter yew]

Wow thank you. That'll save me a ton of time.

[idle saffron]

The setups for it are super simple as well - talking maybe 5-7 minutes per

[winter yew]

I never really grinded anything in GTA:O cause it never felt worth it. Cayo definitely seems worth it.

I only got money for submarine cause of various free money rockstar threw around.

Red used to ping me and another user here regular when there was good spins at casino etc.

yeah so don't get their stuff, gotcha

[dry copper]

I would be surprised if they developed another gaming system after Xbox Series X|S

Their latest promotion I see on their site offers the Xbox All Access, which includes the console and 2 years subscription to game pass ultimate for just $40/month

Mind you that's not really a discount when you do the math

Based on their own calculations, that's $959.76 before taxes and without the interest charges that they charge you if you don't pay it off in 24 months

The GPU for the Xbox series x looks good tho. Buying an Xbox if you're a console gamer wouldn't be horrible...I mean, it compares to a RTX 3080 for $600

Xbox One tho is comparable to a hot potato

Radeon 7790

[inland grail]

wtf

[idle saffron]

Missed the jump for the bonus xp

[sleek cloud]

gotta rewind and try again

[idle saffron]

Yeah

[inland grail]

no joke i thought it was an irl pic

[austere lance]

They don't really need to, the thing already does 4k 120 on some games. Hell, it does 8k 60 on Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Like, unless they want to make 8k consoles nobody will buy there really is no point in making a console after the Series X. And they're not gonna completely switch to cloud gaming, lol. You'll still be able to get consoles

.....or I guess they are making new ones, lol. Maybe the next one does 4k FPS for a base line 😆

My personal view is that DLSS is too good of an opportunity to be ignored. It's insane what it's doing for upscaling and over the years I can only imagine it massively improving.
Already seeing better than native with some games upscaling to 4k/8k using less hardware power.

Fucking nuts.

We about to see DirectStorage be a thing which is skipping the CPU entirely, freeing up the CPU to process other stuffs we can't even think of yet.

Well, kinda already is a thing with PS5 and XBS. About to be a bigger thing.

Using it to remove load times as an entry point, can't wait to see how much developers can push it.

[cinder vessel]

we already know it's going to be for pore constriction/dilation and sweat physics

[winter yew]

I hope they move on to world physics and what not, maybe even sound design.

Graphics are legit at the point where they can't be majorly improved anymore. Minor changes such as subsurface light scattering but not been anything super major for a long while.

[cinder vessel]

i hope it expands gameplay possibilities more than anything but i just...Know that's harder so they'll go with the "easy" more visible options if at all possible

[winter yew]

Yeah that too but I agree with the easy option be picked.

This scene was haunting in Arcane... The look on her face. Someone paid close attention to the nightmare of domestic abuse.

[austere lance]

Yep

Her losing her mind is just insanely well done

I expect to see Warwick in season 2.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if they held off until the end

Teasing Warwick for season 3

[austere lance]

Idk jack about League, so the show has been a helluva trip

[dry copper]

From what little I've garnered, LoL hints at Warwick being Vander, after he died, being experimented on by Singed to the point of becoming something else entirely

The dialogue exchanges the character has with Vi in the LoL game are somewhat ....unique

My favorite is "First I'll kill you, then I'll YORDLE!"

also the audio at the very end of this video.

For clarification, that audio at the end is part of an ingame ability from Warwick

[dry copper]

I hope that they make a directors cut of the seasons somehow to make them into movie sized (2-3hr long) videos

[fervent fog]

I have definitely not been listening to the audios on loop when playing League xd

[fleet moat]

love this song from Motherless Brooklyn as much as the film https://open.spotify.com/track/6xCBiZLbhAFAolDGkiinUF?si=msyN9Wj1Tdm2PUcbtX0F0g

^ already gone/dead

[dry copper]

Meanwhile on steam, in spite of amazon

[austere lance]

Jesus, sold out in half an hour

[dry copper]

There are stillxbox versions available

and origin copies

Only the steam and ps4 ones are sold out

I'm not even sure there were ever any steam ones on there tbh

[austere lance]

There were, people in the comments got em

[dry copper]

A part of me would consider the purchase just for the huge discount, but then regret it because I already have all of them

then try and salvage my depression by claiming it's improved....

and then fail

[austere lance]

They're defo an improvement over the originals, especially ME1

[dry copper]

That was offensive

I can't even begin to explain in how many ways

[shadow tartan]

Should report her on YT, I thought she was Mexican but lives in Canada

That side of the world is becoming more of a mystery to me

[dry copper]

It's not even the insensitivity, cultural appropriation or borderline racism that bothers me. She's just a horrible actor!

Not to mention she's a horrible cook

[shadow tartan]

She's a singer aswell apparently

I'm not going to listen to her music

[dry copper]

Who starts a video with an ingredients list without having the ingredients with them?

Fuck

Now I want McDonalds apple pie and ice cream

All I had was those turkey and bacon rolls today

[austere lance]

I like how the entire halo community hates the progression system but 343 has done nothing but add a 50 XP match challenge and supposedly remove a couple shit challenges (which is impressive, cuz there's still a lot of garbage challenges). They haven't even said if they intend on changing anything else

[golden gull]

That is... disconcerting.

Also, that's a hell of a name for a boss.
