[dry copper]

They don't describe the quality of the game at all

They describe the game

Oooh

I think I see it

Animal Crossing is a game I never played, I wish had been on PC to

[winter yew]

bruh i gotta have an xbox account to play halo?

i vowed to never do anything xbox related

[daring spear]

Halo is... An Xbox exclusive and always has been

[light idol]

This is true

[austere lance]

Halo uses Microsoft's servers and has cross-play with Xbox, so yes 😆

[winter yew]

this game sucks

uninstalled

fuck microsoft

gears halo forza lookin

[austere lance]

Amazing

Ginormous brain maneuver

How did you not know Microsoft makes Halo

[winter yew]

i thought bungie made halo

[daring spear]

Not for a loooong time and even then it was Xbox exclusive

[winter yew]

and i didnt need a microsoft account to play destiny 2 tho

so

i figured

[daring spear]

343 makes Halo now

[winter yew]

who

[austere lance]

Bungie made halo for Microsoft for 10 years, 343i took over afterwards and are owned by Microsoft

[winter yew]

343i

huh

never heard of them

[austere lance]

They made every Halo after Reach

Reach was Bungie's send-off for Halo

[winter yew]

cool i cant change my name from fragilebubble82 because apparently its a child account or something

even though ive never owned an xbox

what

[dry copper]

Microsoft does not believe in aging

[sly lark]

did you ever have a gfwl account? games for windows live.

[golden gull]

Was going to play some Reach on the MCC today but my computer was having issues with it. 😔

That and the servers are shutting down soon.

At least I got to experience Halo 1 and 2.

Shame as I was excited to see my custom Spartan kick ass.

[daring spear]

Not for MCC
Just the 360 servers

[golden gull]

Might have to try again then.

[charred badge]

microsoft also technically made freelancer

[daring spear]

Omg

[winter yew]

aight nevermind this game is ok

not terrible but just feels like a run of the mill shooter

[charred badge]

so... halo?

halo excelled in theming/story, not really innovative gameplay

[winter yew]

story too expensive

[winter yew]

i wouldn't know

this is my first halo game

[charred badge]

ah

yeah, it's a scifi theme park ride of a game

lots of fun moments, and story is ever present

I stopped at 2, tho, so I don't know how the series has gone past that

https://www.pcgamer.com/activision-blizzard-qa-walkout-spreads-to-other-studios-in-its-second-day/

After the company announced layoffs, the remaining employees walked off the job in one unified front against the company

Though I'm concerned which employees walked off....

According to one article...they were the QA department

https://www.pcgamer.com/warzone-developers-are-walking-out-today-to-protest-layoffs/

[winter yew]

you don’t need QA testers for copy and paste games.

[shadow tartan]

QA walks out
Get's replaced by outsource

[winter yew]

if it was good and approved last year, it’ll be good this year

who needs QA

[shadow tartan]

Software and games need QA

[dry copper]

They were probably thinking "who needs QA" when they finished New Worlds

Now they're regretting it

[shadow tartan]

If you want a quality product and good feedback that is

[winter yew]

it’s the exact same game every year.

[shadow tartan]

Maybe for them

[snow zenith]

That's not how game development works

[shadow tartan]

But you still need QA when it comes to submission and testing changes to features

First party will throw you out otherwise

[winter yew]

can’t even make a joke about how bad COD is

[shadow tartan]

CoD sucks balls

[dry copper]

COD is the worst fish

It was only 12 QA though

Some guy fired 900 people over Zoom this week

[dry copper]

During a period the company was profiting even more

[winter yew]

AFTER getting £750mil in funding too.

[dry copper]

He probably did it so he could pull in his bonus

Calculated the bonus against payroll

[winter yew]

“gather round you guys. it only took 30 minutes to gather you all in this one zoom call but uh you’re all fired. bye.” hangs up

[shadow tartan]

They mentioned Volt....

Reeeeeeeee

[shadow tartan]

Apparently he went in haaaaard

[winter yew]

He called them lazy for wanting to earn a paycheck rofl.

[dry copper]

and he didn't want to cry. Did you hear? He didn't want to cry. He cried the last time, but he didn't want to cry this time so....Yeah. I mean, he didn't cry - BUT, he also didn't want to...and he wanted you to know that.

I like how 343 wanted to retire MC to freshen things up, then realized how badly they'd messed up and decided to replace ||Cortana|| instead

[cinder vessel]

lol

it'd be interesting if they tried to loosen up and licensed out Halo to other devs to make games exploring different aspects of the universe

but just as likely that that would dilute the BRAND and backfire, so no surprise they haven't

[dry copper]

It's the easiest way to hide money from human trafficking and criminal enterprise

[dry copper]

no

A lot of progress has been made the last decade to fight back against corruption in finance. So much so that crypto currency was created to hide it

A currency that is even harder to nail down than actual resource and debt based finance

Shit's been a nightmare for half a century with the banks all building global finance around a debt based economy

[plucky mesa]

I never had a NeoGeo, but emulate one on a GP2X handheld for -- damn -- what's the name of that game with the best pixel art of all time?

[shadow tartan]

I have a Neo Geo, had a Neo Geo CD which was crap and the WonderSwan

No

Neo Geo Pocket

[plucky mesa]

Yea, the NeoGeo scene is pretty foreign to me, I fear.

[shadow tartan]

hahahahahahaha

[silver sparrow]

[shadow tartan]

Damn lads, we're old

Finally realised

[glass plinth]

Yup

We certainly are

I mean Im 42

I remember the pre computer era pretty clearly

[silver sparrow]

Well pong on 2600 is the best I can do

[glass plinth]

Heck, my first bank book was still paper

[snow zenith]

I'm gonna be 23. I feel 223

[shadow tartan]

OMG

[snow zenith]

kekw

[shadow tartan]

We will make you feel young again

[glass plinth]

23 is no small number

Your nearing a quarter of a century soon

[shadow tartan]

Just start a group DM and then you will realise

[snow zenith]

Well Halo Infinite is throwing me back a bit at least :P

[shadow tartan]

Code be like

These old farts

[shadow tartan]

Art quality is nice eh

[austere lance]

Imagine being a quarter of a century old 👀

[glass plinth]

If you have told me how the world would be in 2021, Id have laughed my butt off

[shadow tartan]

Das right Gramps

[glass plinth]

Imagine getting close to half a century

[plucky mesa]

Me, Christmas 1979, having just received my first computer / game console of any sort (behind me). So. #old

[shadow tartan]

Awwwww

Nice lampshade though

And the curtains

[glass plinth]

AH, so your literally 8 or so years older then me Blake?

[shadow tartan]

Oh man

[glass plinth]

Dude, I had those curtains in my first apartment

Lol

[plucky mesa]

almost

[glass plinth]

You know, I loved growing up then

You always had so many new things showing up

So many firsts

[snow zenith]

why tf is she so cute

[glass plinth]

Have you seen the actress they model her after?

[plucky mesa]

I'm glad I got to go through the "home computer" time. Got a TI in '82, an Apple //c in '84, Amiga in '85, etc. (selling one in the paper to fund most of the $ of the next)

Good times

[glass plinth]

My first pc was a hewlett packard 33mhz as a home pc

[shadow tartan]

We had a BBC computer at home

I started on Spectrum though

[glass plinth]

Man, that pc opened so many options for me

[shadow tartan]

Solitaire is an option

[glass plinth]

Also, can be stop ad morn the loss of actual good freeware

Simcity

Original

Hrmm

[shadow tartan]

Shit, dude. It's still in the house. No wonder it feels haunted

[glass plinth]

Although Simcity on SNES was always better

Simearth sness too!

Oh man, I loved that game

[shadow tartan]

I remember when Super Mario World on the SNES came out. It was like nobody had ever seen that many colours on the screen before

[charred badge]

It's not wrong

[shadow tartan]

It was mad vibrant

[charred badge]

All Stars was mind blowing

[shadow tartan]

Yeah man

[plucky mesa]

SNES had a 32K color palette. Was colorful!

[shadow tartan]

£80 for All Stars at one point though

[charred badge]

Not too unusual for snes

[shadow tartan]

Equivalent of BF2042 🤣

[charred badge]

Except good

[shadow tartan]

But Mario needed the money to get out of the crappy apartment with Luigi

[plucky mesa]

SM64 was my first real Mario game.

[shadow tartan]

$1200

I need to go to check my collection

[glass plinth]

I gave most of my systems away 3 years back

was forced too really

Lack of space. After 13 years in the same 2 bedroom apartment, I was forced back into a small room. Everything Id accumulated was gone

It was.. difficult for me

[plucky mesa]

I have a basement full of old computers, here where I am sitting. More computers than consoles.

[glass plinth]

I had that at one point

All gone

[plucky mesa]

ooof

[shadow tartan]

Dad has loads in the "shed"

[glass plinth]

Save the Duo

[shadow tartan]

It's basically a graveyard of technology

[glass plinth]

Ill never get rid of it

[charred badge]

I have a small pile of Inspiron laptops

[glass plinth]

Im thankful we have emulators

[shadow tartan]

@plucky mesa 10MB HDD the size of a shoebox

[glass plinth]

I have a nes emulator with well over 2k games on it

Ill be getting a sness soon

[plucky mesa]

yep

[glass plinth]

Basically all the snes games

Actraiser, Simcity, Mario, so on

Secret of mana

[austere lance]

Same. That's how I play GBA, SNES, and Nintendo DS games on my phone 😆

[plucky mesa]

Tho the only HD larger than a 3.5" is the 5.25" one in my Lisa 2. All else are 3.5 inch or CF-based HD emulators.

( In my collection. )

[charred badge]

Did the Xperia play have psp hardware, or was that also an emulator?

[austere lance]

No idea what that is, I do know you can emulate PSP on pc and phones tho

[shadow tartan]

1 or 2?

[charred badge]

It's the psp phone, lol

There was a 2?

[shadow tartan]

Yup

It was smaller and rounder

[charred badge]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xperia_Play

Neat.

Either?

[austere lance]

Androids can run PSP emulators, blessed be the holy lil robot

[cinder vessel]

mmm emulation

[dry copper]

Imagine a world without linux

[austere lance]

Nintendo DS emulators are interesting, can have the screens be vertical or horizontal

[winter yew]

https://tenor.com/view/the-jetsons-gif-15626885

@dry copper a world without linux

[dry copper]

Hardly lol

Linux is the only reason microsoft doesn't own your soul.

[winter yew]

microsoft should stick to windows and stop making games

[shadow tartan]

George was officially born recently

[shadow tartan]

Sorry mate, had to answer some DMs.
It was emulation through an app from what I remember.

[dry copper]

Their next venture will probably be a smartphone operating system. I would not be surprised if they bought blackberry in the coming years

[thorn dawn]

https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/123993/data-restructuring-title-update-1-4-1?lang=en-US

Jaysus

70GB+ patch

[dry copper]

Sounds like they are going to make the game suck some more. Fun times.

Oop nevermind

The upcoming Title Update consolidates the game files, resulting in a smaller overall game size on all platforms. Additionally, performance should improve with this data restructuring, with faster loading screen times, improved world data streaming, and overall runtime performance.

Interestingly it's nearly half that size on PS5

Must have some pretty sexy compression on ps5

[thorn dawn]

@austere lance is this your reddit account 😄

hahaha

Does Valhalla have microtransactions?

[thorn dawn]

there's cosmetics

[cinder vessel]

whose next venture?

[dry copper]

I expect Microsoft, honestly.

They're always looking at ways to expand their market influence.

[cinder vessel]

you realize they tried that once already?

[dry copper]

The windows phone?

[cinder vessel]

yeah

[dry copper]

The reason I mentioned blackberry specifically is because of its technology insofar as automated smart systems for cars go, with Baidu losing its grip/interest in staying partners

I'd like to see Baidu lose Apollo entirely.

I think one of the reasons China is so pissed about possibly losing heavies in the winter olympics probably has to do with their intentions to showcase the tech that comes from it.

[snow zenith]

@echo hill tf did i find lmao (no story or anything spoiled, just a cool easter egg lol)

[echo hill]

[balmy plaza]

@echo hill just completed the second mission. How are you finding it?

Ngl I'm actually really enjoying the audio logs

[dry copper]

Glad. I hear a lot of story content is in them

I was watching Philip Defranco and he always has third party advertising he does the commercial for himself with snapshots of the products he's pushing....and I was thinking..."Most people skip this..It's easy enough", which got me to thinking even more..."If he used a voice changer, I'd be more interested in listening to the sillies"...

Which brings me to advertising strategies by youtubers...I'd never pass on the sillies. Someone tell Philip to suck a balloon of helium before his commercials to make it funner to listen to 😛

[shadow tartan]

@thorn dawn @winter yew

[charred badge]

I'll look. Cosmetics?

[shadow tartan]

Nah the whole shibang

[charred badge]

Looks like cosmetics to me vOv

[shadow tartan]

They sell the LED mod kits

[charred badge]

Also cosmetic, I'd say

[shadow tartan]

I'm wondering where they get the Joycon/Pro Controller innards from

Ah

[daring spear]

https://www.destructoid.com/destiny-2-gjallarhorn-nerf-blaster-pre-order-update/ lol

[cinder vessel]

are these basically nvidia brand steam links? never did get around to sorting out their use case

[shadow tartan]

Super powered Android TV box

2019 ones do 4K AI upscaling

[cinder vessel]

🤷

[shadow tartan]

You can use Steam Link and the Nvidia streaming app too

[cinder vessel]

i'd be more interested in if it can simply stream PC gameplay to tv, lmao

[shadow tartan]

Yeah it can

[cinder vessel]

there we go

[shadow tartan]

There are other apps other than Steam Link but I didn't look into it much personally

[cinder vessel]

then again could probably hack together something with a rasp-pi and save cash

...i should get around to playing with that some more

[shadow tartan]

Pi4 might be good for it

This thing has a Tegra X1 in it and a few GB of RAM

Interesting bit of kit

[cinder vessel]

ye, that's the model i have

well, a 4 anyway

[shadow tartan]

Worth checking out some performance comparisons

Last time I checked Shield TV was on top

But it's quite pricy

[cinder vessel]

yeah, i'm sure the shield would beat it hands down

[shadow tartan]

I think it's worth it personally because I played some Android games on it and my TV doesn't have an Android OS

[cinder vessel]

performance importance would also come down to network env. & game picked

[shadow tartan]

Yeah

I used GFN on it too, was pretty good

[cinder vessel]

Ah yeah, there aren't a ton of Android games I've ever considered, "hey let's pop it on big screen" but that's a cool use-case

GFN? Games for Nvidia or something?

[shadow tartan]

Couple of games I was supporting was on there and I ended up trying out a few more 😬

[shadow tartan]

GeForce Now, cloud streaming

[cinder vessel]

aah yeah

I always forget they have that since i don't like that model, lol

[shadow tartan]

I didn't know what to think at first

It's quite expensive for the top end of subs

[cinder vessel]

oh ffuuu, that rabbit hole 💀

[shadow tartan]

But if people don't have a PC or the space for it, pretty good alternative

[cinder vessel]

at the same time tho, depending on the prices, you might be better served saving the money for a PC (supposing you have the space)

[shadow tartan]

I did try Shadow before also

[shadow tartan]

If you can get a gfx card 🤣

[cinder vessel]

rip

[shadow tartan]

It's the session length I don't like

For bloody premium

[cinder vessel]

How's that handled, like 8 hours every 24 hours, or...?

Per game, or...

[shadow tartan]

It disconnects after 8 hours

Depending on the game and queues you just have to reconnect to server

For premium the queues are shorter I think

[cinder vessel]

fun...

[shadow tartan]

Yeah...

But even when I tried the free versions, the queues weren't bad

I need to see some current reviews and try it out again

[austere lance]

Halo Infinite is a TRIP

[echo hill]

i just finished it

@snow zenith done 😎

[cinder vessel]

wazp just binged the infinite

[austere lance]

I've uh, not even left the first map cuz I'm getting everything and rescuing every squad

[echo hill]

time for round 2

[echo hill]

thats what imma do now

[austere lance]

Lol. I just got to the excavation site or whatever but I haven't touched it cuz I'm doing everything in the area first 😆

Did the same thing with the Tower

[dry copper]

Going to see if Titans, the television show is any good.

Might be something to binge

Might also binge that flash tv show

[daring spear]

Hahahahahahahaha it isn't

Titans I mean

[dry copper]

Oh christ...This show was filmed in Ontario I bet

[austere lance]

Titans is horrendous garbage

[dry copper]

The color and design of the bus in the first episode looks like a bus in Toronto

[austere lance]

Flash is.......eh at best for two seasons then nosedives hard af

[dry copper]

hah it's not...That's a bus in Hamilton. The 41A Chedoke

That show is def filmed in Ontario

[austere lance]

Titans is so bad at being serious that it almost counts as a comedy 💀

[dry copper]

I'm trying to figure out where precisely it was filmed. I'm sure I've been in the area

It looks familiar-ish if that makes sense

They filmed the last season of that umbrella show in ontario

umbrella academy

[austere lance]

Umbrella Academy is cool

[dry copper]

This opening scene you can tell most of the buildings in the bg aren't really there.

Shitty CGI

That's a hamilton bus. None of those tall buildings are real. That green one behind the bus is a steel plant

That places this film squarely in Hamilton at the steel factory

Literally the shittiest part of the shittiest city in the province

[daring spear]

Fitting

[dry copper]

Like that shit building on the left...That's the state of all the buildings in that area. It's like Chicago but...for no good reason

Or like some areas of buffalo but without the crime

People just buy the properties up, use em for storage and shit, then just never open up a business...Sometimes the taxes are so low in the area the building is worth more as a box than it is a store

So you get entire blocks of buildings bought up for warehousing

Then people wonder why nobody wants to live there

[daring spear]

Wow

[dry copper]

This show...it feels wrong. They're so bad at acting. It's like...wtf. Is this show directed by a LARPer?

[daring spear]

I don't know but I stopped after suffering through the first episode because it's so awful

[dry copper]

ahahaha, even the shit they got for props is Canadian

That dude in

This scene...Using a leaf blower bought exclusively....

from Canadian tire

That's their brand name leaf blower

I know because I have one

THAT one

(and it's fantastic)

Yardworks...They're awesome. They suck, they blow....

Must be really old

[dry copper]

this is such a weird show

These austrian dudes chasing a black woman with pink hair in a blue dress....couldn't see her in a forest of ALL brown trees with no leafs on them in the dead of winter

Are they colorblind I wonder

[snow zenith]

Bruh go to sleep

[austere lance]

I'm 6 hours in and beating that is the furthest I've gotten in the story, I've been too busy fucking off and getting Valor to do the next big mission

[snow zenith]

I think I found a bug

There's two collectibles in the tower I can't find and the marker just leads me to the top of the tower (there's only an ||easter egg and a skull there||).

[echo hill]

does the scan not show them
?

[snow zenith]

I tried to but at that point I was tired as heck and hit the sack so maybe I missed them

I'll go check today

I'm loving it

I was worried the open world style was gonna be detrimental

but it's not

I love it

[echo hill]

It works so well

[snow zenith]

Tho tbf it works well in this context of the story

[daring spear]

I like just hearing all the stuff the enemies say

[balmy plaza]

Was the story good? I'm on the conservatory. Not sure how far in that is

[snow zenith]

I hope it doesn't mean they'll do it in every future campaign

[snow zenith]

I love it when an Elite says I'm a coward

as I'm harpooning to him

[daring spear]

My favorite so far was a grunt going "Nononononono, my life!"

[snow zenith]

and punching him in the face

[echo hill]

Yes I really enjoyed it. Maybe not as good as the OGs but hands down the best we've seen from 343

[snow zenith]

also new Cortana is so cute

I can't

[echo hill]

@daring spear https://youtu.be/SA0epTV1V_8

[balmy plaza]

Ah cool! I definitely have some theories about stuff so far

[snow zenith]

Watched that yesterday lmao

Also catching the grunts sleeping is so cute lmao

[daring spear]

@echo hill you should toss that in the games channel in the other server

[echo hill]

Y'know I never thought about grunts smelling bad until the weapon said something about it

But if you think about it, it makes sense

The literally breath methane

[snow zenith]

"you smell fine by the way"

move over cortana, weapon is my new AI waifu

[echo hill]

Update: apparently methane does not have a smell

So

Yeah

[snow zenith]

[echo hill]

I'm trynna 100% every area in infinite but fuck me if the skulls aren't impossible to find

[daring spear]

[echo hill]

It's a bug/Easter egg thingy when you first load into the open world

[snow zenith]

I found one

[echo hill]

Where?!

[snow zenith]

at the top of the ||Tower|| but that was it

[balmy plaza]

I only found one

[daring spear]

It's the one you said

[snow zenith]

Did you find the arcade thingy

Or
IWHBYD

[balmy plaza]

Yeah they were great! Also if you melee the guitar it makes guitar noises

[echo hill]

I would have been your daddy. IWHBYD

[daring spear]

Which apparently stands for
"I would have been your daddy"

Dammit

Ueah

[glass plinth]

Peh, how bout Electronica

Lol, I hate all the music genres now. Simply to many

Dark Minimal Techno Trip

or sheesh

I get there are a lot of sub genres though, I just tend to try and minimalize

[shadow tartan]

As in moody piano music?

[shadow tartan]

yup watched some of this as well, neato

Man. Trackmania's speed racers are the best.

I love how dedicated they are to making sure FWO are legit

FWO=Fastest Way Only is a racing tactic where by you need to get to the end as fast as possible

You can glitch the game, but you can't cheat

Glitches like bouncing your car off stuff, but not using hacks or programs

Have you been following the thirsdoids?

Lmao

I'm so excited

[dry copper]

Thirsdoids?

I just forgot to mute the PZ discord. Nasko published the article a bit ago.

[paper pasture]

I meant thursdoids. Yeah they used to do em every thursday, now it's every other thursday, and this has been in the making for just over two years i think

[dry copper]

Nasko is the community manager over at The Indie Stone

[paper pasture]

I know who they all are :)

I actually have a thread on their forum pinned for controller support

Idk if it's still used now

[dry copper]

He's a doofus. I like it. Feels about as professional as one might expect from an indie crew.

[paper pasture]

They're really transparent though

Which is what the thursdoids are

[dry copper]

and they don't molest women so...bonus

[paper pasture]

Exactly

AB could learn a thing or two

[dry copper]

AB?

Activision Blizzard

Oh hah....molesting and abusing power...It's in every industry. Finding a bunch of dudes working on the same project who aren't misogynists is actually more rare than it should be

[paper pasture]

I agree

[dry copper]

Cultures are weird sometimes. It's a change I think will take life times.

That or it will happen faster and create a big stir industry wide...both are acceptable changes

My favorite thing about PZ is the way they designed the game to feed all sorts of gamers

Whether you wanna just jump in and survive...can do that, or go in guns blazing...can do that, or go in and build a community, do-able

All play styles are workable

Stealth, Loud, everything

I for one like predatory stealth

Take huge risks, go into the wilderness with a hunting knife and develop stealth while executing with precision

Hunting knife is by far my favorite weapon

The game needs more fatality animations

That knife up through the skull is my go-to

Achieved by running at the enemy and hitting the attack just as you get in their face

Why do I see azelea assets in a tropical environment
