other-games

[austere lance]

Lol

Literally just updated the visuals and called it a day

[dreamy zinc]

Idd, i wouldn't care if they called it a remaster

But remake?

Mafia1 puts it to shame

[austere lance]

Yee, that's defo a remake

[dreamy zinc]

Great game too

Even AoE2 did a proper remake

[tame cairn]

i keep thinking your pfp is deathstroke zoomed out smh

[austere lance]

Lol

[dreamy zinc]

Anyhow good thing mafia2 holds up

[dreamy zinc]

Mine?

[tame cairn]

yeah lol

[dreamy zinc]

It's Igris from solo leveling

[austere lance]

Day 451 of me wanting a next gen update for the Arkham trilogy

[tame cairn]

had to look it up

but they look badass

[dreamy zinc]

Power fantasy manhua

[tame cairn]

please

i loved all of them

what is solo leveling?

korean?

i have no clue

im probably very wrong

[austere lance]

I think we're shit outta luck, closest we're getting is Gotham Knights 😔

[tame cairn]

sadness

[austere lance]

Which.......I'm not exactly hyped for

[tame cairn]

nah

it looks okay

[austere lance]

Not after that gameplay they showed 💀

[tame cairn]

ill play if its on the gamepass, wont buy though

lmao

[dreamy zinc]

Yes korean manhua

[tame cairn]

sick i guessed right

i saw the language on the wiki

lol

[dreamy zinc]

The art is noice

[austere lance]

Mr Freeze being a giant punching bag health bar boss instead of an actual smart one that takes more than 5 brain cells to beat 💀

[tame cairn]

genius btw

they shouldve just made a robin or nightwing game

nightwing would probably not be bad

imo

[dreamy zinc]

It is translated to English tho

[tame cairn]

yeah ik i was just making a guess as to where it was from because of this

i dont know i just do that 😅

other languages interest me

[austere lance]

Imagine going from this to "Hey, let's just make him a damn Ubisoft RPG boss!"
https://youtu.be/9G0WbIYPv9A

[tame cairn]

i just dont think id have the brain power to speak them

ha

[dreamy zinc]

Haha

[tame cairn]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=YkTHtWX7CCY&feature=share

the real mr freeze boss

[austere lance]

[tame cairn]

lol

[austere lance]

Arkham Knight was hella fun even with the Batmobile fights, I'll die on that hill 😤

[dreamy zinc]

Gotta know the sauce of everything i see ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[austere lance]

Jason 😔

[tame cairn]

arkham knight was so good

they did scarecrow

so right

actually menacing bro

[austere lance]

Having the old dude from Fringe voice Scarecrow was fuckin genius

[tame cairn]

i dont know who that is but i agree 100% whoever he is, hes good

[dreamy zinc]

Hes a cool villain

[tame cairn]

everybody chill!

[dreamy zinc]

Frigid jokes

[tame cairn]

whoever cast arnold as mr freeze has the greatest mind

lmao

[dreamy zinc]

His one liners were funny

[tame cairn]

even though mr freeze is actually a smart guy

arnold isnt really uhhh

[austere lance]

Arkham Knight DLC stories were slappin, especially the sad one 😭

[tame cairn]

which was this?

[austere lance]

Freeze

[tame cairn]

its been a long damn time

i need to replay

the whole series

[austere lance]

I just want them in 60 FPS 😭

[dreamy zinc]

Me looking at my AC collection

[tame cairn]

me looking at mine as well

all of them except for rogue sadly

[dreamy zinc]

Didn't buy Valhalla tho

[tame cairn]

i didnt either my friend did for me 🤌🏻

glad i didnt though

[shadow tartan]

Thank me later

AK Mr Freeze was bad because no time left

People dying

[dreamy zinc]

Oddessy and Valhalla should've been avnew IP

[tame cairn]

yeah

i was gonna say

they havent made an AC game since origins

[dreamy zinc]

I did love the atlantis dlc

[tame cairn]

odyessey had literally nothing except the dlc with the blade

[dreamy zinc]

Origins made sense in a way

[shadow tartan]

Worst was Two Face banks though

[tame cairn]

made me sad bro

[tame cairn]

nah

they werent bad

[shadow tartan]

Yes

[tame cairn]

there was only like 3

[shadow tartan]

They were terribad and we all knew it

[tame cairn]

hmmm

[shadow tartan]

You could one shot Two Face like he was some dickhead

[austere lance]

Wot

[tame cairn]

well i mean twoface was just a burnt faced criminal

lmao

[shadow tartan]

Majority of my focus was with the gameplay code team

Especially Batmobile

And all the art

It was hellish

[tame cairn]

huh?

[shadow tartan]

I worked on AK

[tame cairn]

👀

stop the lies.

[shadow tartan]

No need to lie

[tame cairn]

fr though?

you did actually?

[shadow tartan]

Literally pointless considering everything is public

[tame cairn]

well

thank u

[shadow tartan]

Nah I'm kidding don't thank me

[tame cairn]

fuck u

jk

[shadow tartan]

Not about working on it

[tame cairn]

oh

[shadow tartan]

But thanking someone is shit

[dreamy zinc]

[tame cairn]

i was kidding btw

[shadow tartan]

It's a job

[shadow tartan]

I know mate

[tame cairn]

ok lol

[dreamy zinc]

[shadow tartan]

Shit loads of tank battles got cut because of negative feedback

[tame cairn]

if you deadass did, thank u anyways

[shadow tartan]

And then people were telling me it was their favourite part....

[tame cairn]

im sad people hated it

[shadow tartan]

Got added as AR challenges though

[tame cairn]

i wanted batmobile since i first saw it in AA

[shadow tartan]

The transition between Predator into regular combat during Watchtowers was great though

I actually liked that and I wasn't really a fan of Arkham games

[tame cairn]

batman is my favorite hero

hes badass

[shadow tartan]

Slade Wilson 💜

[tame cairn]

breaking legs and jaws

serves justice but also gives you a hospital bill

[shadow tartan]

Deathstroke tank fight was kinda cool

But fuck doing that again

[austere lance]

Wot 👀 👀 👀

[shadow tartan]

14-16 hour days

[shadow tartan]

Dude I've been working on games for 18 years

[tame cairn]

bro

😔

[shadow tartan]

Only got into mobile in the last few years

Because I hated mobile but I like money

[tame cairn]

what do you do exactly?

[winter yew]

😔

[shadow tartan]

I started as QA and moved into Production

Then started my own company

[tame cairn]

qa?

[shadow tartan]

Last proper title was Head of Publishing

Proper cunt title

[tame cairn]

lol

[shadow tartan]

Sound like a right wanker when I say it

[austere lance]

Predator areas were godly in Knight 😫

[winter yew]

I searched his name once and was mildly impressed tbh.

[tame cairn]

well shit

youre a god man

[shadow tartan]

I wrote the Predator Bible for the GDD

[tame cairn]

lol

[shadow tartan]

Just a bloke

We're all equal

I'm not a doctor or someone that does something noble

[austere lance]

GDD?

[tame cairn]

yeah but you help make stuff people adore

[shadow tartan]

Game Design Document

[tame cairn]

just take the damn compliment sir

[austere lance]

Oh shid 👀

[shadow tartan]

Had to do a lot of work to make Predator good

Like the buddy up system

[austere lance]

Predator Bible sounds amazing 😆

[shadow tartan]

When they go back to back and throw grenades on perches and shit

[tame cairn]

so good

also annoying

but that made it good

[shadow tartan]

This is why I know so much about crunch time and why I get pissed off when people talk about it

I've fallen asleep on my keyboard too many times

[tame cairn]

true

well i think the tanks are just fine 👍🏻

[shadow tartan]

WB QA needed to be guided so much that's why 😆

[austere lance]

Fear Takedowns

[shadow tartan]

Then I moved there

[tame cairn]

actually shitted bricks

when i did it

[shadow tartan]

Chain Fear Takedowns

[tame cairn]

first time

[shadow tartan]

Sick as fuck

Chain of 5 takedowns

Clear a room

[tame cairn]

😩

[shadow tartan]

We made some cool videos

[austere lance]

Turning Predator rooms into damn BTAS-worthy scenes with fat Fear chains was

[shadow tartan]

And we had test combat rooms, everyone got scanned in and had their face in the game. So in the combat rooms you could beat the shit out of your colleagues

[austere lance]

LMFAOOOO

[tame cairn]

lol

thats amazing

so

[shadow tartan]

Stressful though

[tame cairn]

would you be in the credits?

[winter yew]

Great way to boost morale tbh.

Kick the fuck out of your boss.

[shadow tartan]

Yeah but I asked to be removed

I got an upgrade when I was there

Ended up managing a bunch of shit but didn't get a position

[tame cairn]

i would definitely want my name in an arkham game

[shadow tartan]

Then WB poached me

[austere lance]

Nothing fucked me up as much as the first time I did a takedown in the Red Hood DLC and it uh, was very very lethal 💀

[shadow tartan]

I stopped caring after 10 years

[tame cairn]

10 years

[shadow tartan]

Montreal made a lot of the DLC

[winter yew]

You still listed in credits for Arkham Knight btw.

[tame cairn]

gottt

[tame cairn]

fr

[shadow tartan]

I know, Martin refused to remove me

[tame cairn]

ayo??

[shadow tartan]

I am still pissed

[austere lance]

I wasn't expecting straight up neck snapping in Arkham 💀

[tame cairn]

damn

[tame cairn]

red hood

blasting faces

taking no names

[shadow tartan]

I used to get high with the lead writer after work and I told him I was fucked off

[tame cairn]

ah yes

[shadow tartan]

Basically

I can be petty sometimes

[austere lance]

Yeah but we were always non-lethal in the games, then that DLC came around and we were fuckin people up with pistols and snapping necks 💀

[shadow tartan]

And some prick that did fuck all for two years had his name appearing before mine

I took on nearly all of his work

[tame cairn]

ah

[shadow tartan]

Because he was shit

[tame cairn]

so thats why

[shadow tartan]

And too busy playing Dota 2

[tame cairn]

ao great lol

[shadow tartan]

So I said take my name out and fuck off

[austere lance]

Wait, did you work on all 3 games?

[tame cairn]

^

[shadow tartan]

Just AK

[tame cairn]

true

oh

okay

[shadow tartan]

A lot of my mates worked at RS for the first two

We all used to work for the Kuju group before then at some point

So most of us know each other

We all get drunk together

Reunions still happen too

[tame cairn]

nice

[austere lance]

Ah, was gonna say you emotionally wrecked me with Arkham City and Harley Quinn's Revenge 😭

[winter yew]

He also worked on Art Academy and Cars 3 video game but he ain't telling you that.

[shadow tartan]

Oi!

Hahahaha

[tame cairn]

oi!

[winter yew]

😤

[shadow tartan]

I loved Art Academy

[tame cairn]

anything else??

i must know

[shadow tartan]

Same time I was working on a LOTR game

[tame cairn]

shadow of war?

[shadow tartan]

Had to deal with 5 games at one time at that studio

[winter yew]

Holy shit

[tame cairn]

shadow of war??0

[austere lance]

Was there more planned for the Harley DLC in AK? It felt short

[shadow tartan]

Aragorns Quest, we made the first LOTR games after WB bought New Line and the LOTR licences

[tame cairn]

ahh

[shadow tartan]

Time was already thin dude, people were wrecked

[tame cairn]

i was about to say

[shadow tartan]

One of my mates got divorced during AK

[tame cairn]

aint no wayy

[austere lance]

RIP 😔

[tame cairn]

bruh

[shadow tartan]

Yeah

Like I said before

It can be toxic

[tame cairn]

damn

lotr is dope

[shadow tartan]

But

I've been to some mad parties

And I love to party

[tame cairn]

haha

[shadow tartan]

I met one of my girlfriends who worked at the pub across the road from the studio

I used to go and drink a few pints with a couple of guys every lunch time

Very bad

[tame cairn]

yeah im not a big drinker

[austere lance]

Do you know anyone working on Gotham Knights?

[shadow tartan]

Now I live the chill life

[tame cairn]

i mean because im underage

[shadow tartan]

Yeah I was over there

[tame cairn]

but ive obviously done it because ya know

i was a kid

[shadow tartan]

I know quite a lot of them

[shadow tartan]

I'm old now

[tame cairn]

[winter yew]

rofl

[tame cairn]

[shadow tartan]

Hahahahaha

My beard is so grey now

[tame cairn]

[shadow tartan]

Aww thanks mate

[austere lance]

I hope GK isn't crunching as hard as AK did

[winter yew]

I think you made this dudes day Nate.

[shadow tartan]

That was actually taken in Montreal

[tame cairn]

nicee

[shadow tartan]

I hope that my memes and silliness make anyone's day bruvva

[winter yew]

Just seeing your name genuinely makes me happy.

😎

[tame cairn]

😅

[shadow tartan]

@austere lance the creative director for Halo Infinite took my profile photo

My claim to fame

[tame cairn]

[shadow tartan]

But he's a cunt like me

[austere lance]

🤣

[tame cairn]

[shadow tartan]

I love you

[tame cairn]

thanks for talking

night all

[shadow tartan]

Sleep well mate

[austere lance]

Which creative director, it's had a few 👀

[shadow tartan]

@winter yew babes you didn't need to e-stalk me

I would just send you the noods

[tame cairn]

[shadow tartan]

All day

[austere lance]

If you say Joe Staten I'm shitting bricks

[shadow tartan]

Paul Crocker, single player

[austere lance]

Gold Lego bricks, specifically

[shadow tartan]

I was involved with LEGO Universe too

I'm such a whore

I've been around more than AdamB

[winter yew]

Dude I searched your name a while back cause I honestly didn't believe you.
Cause, ya know, people lie on the internet. I also nearly added you on LinkedIn and then remembered you don't know who the heck I am so would just ignore it, which is cool.

[shadow tartan]

I added zug

So he can steal contacts

[winter yew]

Zug is a person worth adding tbh.

[shadow tartan]

I love that guy

[winter yew]

He is so ridiculously skilled in his drawings.

[shadow tartan]

And he's one of the nicest people I've met

[winter yew]

That too!

[crisp sparrow]

anyone wanna hire me for graphic design work thx

[shadow tartan]

I want to hug him

[winter yew]

Hug the Zug. 😔

[shadow tartan]

You can add me if you want, contacts on LinkedIn are for stealing

LinkedIn is cack otherwise

[winter yew]

I've done acceptably tbf.

[shadow tartan]

I don't like lying btw

[winter yew]

Definitely only worth it for networking now days though.

[shadow tartan]

I know some of the shit I say is mad

But that's just how it is

When I'm joking around that's a different story

Spinning a yarn

[winter yew]

Yep. Me too. If I'm saying something outlandish, it's definitely not true.

[crisp sparrow]

I JUST made my linkedin today

[shadow tartan]

Yessss

[crisp sparrow]

like minutes ago

[shadow tartan]

Bee made his recently too

[crisp sparrow]

I fucking hate it

[winter yew]

I got a new LinkedIn so need to start over.

[shadow tartan]

It's horrid Sohail

[crisp sparrow]

but I need a job

[austere lance]

I swear I'm not slightly shitting myself cuz the Arkham trilogy is some of my favorite games of all time 😆

[shadow tartan]

But recruiters will start bugging you

And that's good

Go steal my contacts

[crisp sparrow]

how to

[winter yew]

Even if you turn off the recruiter thing you'll still get them bugging you.

[shadow tartan]

Also I'm actually looking for some QA for Meta VR

Based in London

Senior QA

[shadow tartan]

Add me, Nathan Pragasam

[winter yew]

Employ me and I'll take payment in weed and sausage rolls.

[crisp sparrow]

okie

[shadow tartan]

Should only be one on there

[shadow tartan]

NO that's how I get paid

[crisp sparrow]

yeah my name is pretty unique too

[shadow tartan]

Why are we the same @winter yew

I fucking love sausage rolls

[winter yew]

I'm too scared to be adding folk from here tbh, the minute that happens, my mask is fallen.

I'm very ok with being anonymous.

[shadow tartan]

I have discretion but I understand

In my 20s I didn't want anyone to know me

[crisp sparrow]

am I doing this right

[shadow tartan]

Hahahaha

[winter yew]

Hahahaha

[shadow tartan]

Perfect

@winter yew you see what those guys are doing after Cars 3?

[winter yew]

Relaxing on a beach I hope.

[shadow tartan]

Harry Potter game

The open world one

[winter yew]

New one?

Oh shit boi

[tame cairn]

before i leave

[shadow tartan]

I was considering working for them

[tame cairn]

im so excited for the harry potter game yo

[shadow tartan]

But I missed home

[winter yew]

Hogwarts Legacy.

[shadow tartan]

And sausage rolls

[crisp sparrow]

oh fuck all my school contacts are showing up

[tame cairn]

too excited

[crisp sparrow]

I dont remember almost anyone

[tame cairn]

oh my gyadddd

[shadow tartan]

And those guys in Salt Lake City are amazing people

[tame cairn]

now i sleep lmao

[winter yew]

I'm 33 and I'm excited AF for it. I wanna be a wizard and do magic.

[tame cairn]

^

[shadow tartan]

Pfff

You already are

[tame cairn]

youre a wizard ditto

[shadow tartan]

I feel magic in my pants every time you're around

[tame cairn]

👀

[winter yew]

😎

[shadow tartan]

Just us being British

And filthy

[tame cairn]

as ya do

[shadow tartan]

Innit

Where the fuck is AdamB

[winter yew]

He's gone.

[shadow tartan]

What

[winter yew]

Yeah, he gone.

[shadow tartan]

But he needs my abuse to survive

[tame cairn]

hogwarts legacy was brought up im out now lol

cant wait woop

[crisp sparrow]

damn nate your profile is fucking stacked

[winter yew]

<#server-announcements message>
@shadow tartan

[shadow tartan]

I'm old Sohail

[shadow tartan]

My poor baby boi

Noooooo

[crisp sparrow]

I know people older than you who havent done anything as close

[shadow tartan]

It's because of my grandmother

No joke

[crisp sparrow]

wha

[shadow tartan]

And because of being bullied and made to feel like I'd be nothing

[winter yew]

His grandmother was project lead for GTA4.

[shadow tartan]

Become the beast or die to it

I'm still not done

[crisp sparrow]

wow

[tame cairn]

bro?

[shadow tartan]

I have a funny story about that for another day

[tame cairn]

i need to stop opening discord

wtf

[shadow tartan]

That's why I leave Discord when I'm busy

@tame cairn yeah go to fucking sleep

[winter yew]

Dude she isn't wrong though, weirdly.
Easy to just sit comfortable and just achieve bare minimum. Real reward is earned, usually after you leave your comfort zone.

[tame cairn]

okay okay

[shadow tartan]

My grandparents lived such a cool life and had the love story that I still dream of having

She taught me how to ride a bike and how to catch

She was badass and so many people knew her in West London

[winter yew]

👌

[shadow tartan]

The amount of people that turned up to her funeral

I could only hope to be that cool

[winter yew]

You already on your way there my dude.

[shadow tartan]

Maybe

[winter yew]

I mean, you are that cool.

[shadow tartan]

Nah nah

[winter yew]

But I understand what you're saying.

[shadow tartan]

Just that brown guy you chat to and will have a spliff with soon

Soon come famalam

[winter yew]

You already got more stories to tell than I do and probably ever will.

You're only a few years older than me.

[shadow tartan]

And you have blessings

I want children one day

You already The Daddy

I was an idiot focusing on career and not on my life, family or my health

Naughty naughty

[winter yew]

I wanted children young so I can carry on when they're adults and living their own lives.

[shadow tartan]

That's such a good idea

I missed out

[winter yew]

I got maybe 10 years left of parenting and then I'm gunna be doing similar shit to what you doing now.

[shadow tartan]

Yessss bruv

[winter yew]

No rush for parenting, genuinely a fine reward but so is having all the freetime in the world.

[shadow tartan]

I need to settle with someone

Not for someone

[winter yew]

Yeah I definitely get that. Don't settle for second best.

Very best or gtfo

[shadow tartan]

Never ever

The lady I am in love with is absolutely stunning

[winter yew]

I hope it turns in to something wonderful.

[shadow tartan]

She said she'll love me forever but we'll see

[winter yew]

😊

[shadow tartan]

Loved me for over ten years apparently

[winter yew]

Well shit dude.

[shadow tartan]

I'm such a twat

Should have dealt with that time ago

@winter yew I did some of the facial animation in this too
https://youtu.be/F6sqPkxu9uY

First time I'd ever tried anything like that

[winter yew]

As Sohail said, your profile is stacked.

So much stuff you've done.
Almost literally all of it the average person will never experience.

[shadow tartan]

Should make us a little proud to be British

Dude crawls back into his mother in this game

[wet warren]

Dang man all of that stuff on your profile is really impressive. It's sure going to take time for me to reach that much experience haha

[shadow tartan]

I want you to

[wet warren]

Just been mass applying to places atm and waiting to see what sticks

[shadow tartan]

If you have to write a cover letter make sure your passion and knowledge come across

I once hired a guy with zero experience due to his love for games and because he was top 15 in global rankings for combat challenges

[restive current]

[austere lance]

Not too bad, it's $10 to upgrade GTA Online and another 10 if you wanna upgrade Story Mode. Idgaf about Story Mode so it's waaaaay cheaper than the $60 upgrade I expected 😆

[snow zenith]

GTA V is the Skyrim of Rockstar i stg

[austere lance]

[silver sparrow]

What even is gat5

[snow zenith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48Gxm3FFzw4

I need to watch this asap

[dry copper]

I watched streamers playing GTA5. The RP servers look....weird af.

Less RP and more justify murder

Life sims with the GTA5 RP mods are neatish

The servers are always full

So many hackers they had to white list

[cerulean kite]

GTAO gunna be free soon on PS5 i think

for a time

[dry copper]

Why would it cost money?

It's got cosmetics out the arse

[cerulean kite]

it will only be free for 3 months is my understanding

but idk

or u have to claim it within those 3 months

[dry copper]

oh. They're doing the RDR2 thing where they seperate GTA5 from GTAO?

[cerulean kite]

i believe so yes

[dry copper]

Smart

I doubt it will remove the annoying hackers, but it will at least split the community up enough that it might

Esp considering how many assets used in GTAO hacks are from the GTA5 asset library

(which isn't surprising since GTAO is just a stripped down GTA5)

I had so much fun in GTAO with friends and family, but the inability to do private games made it hard to avoid the toxic players

Great game. Humans suck.

[cerulean kite]

yeah ill download it but idk how much ill play. i tried it a few times and didnt enjoy it. spent most of my time in story mode

jesus, did i play GTA5 on PS3? wtf rockstar, thats two generations ago

[idle saffron]

You can make private lobbies

That's how red and I play when we do

[dry copper]

Yeah but they limit your activities

Like you can't run a business in a private lobby. You can try to do private with the lobby hop method but it eventually fills up

[idle saffron]

You can run the new stuff in a private - the Dre missions

[dry copper]

Haven't played since the dre stuff was added.

[idle saffron]

Amusing

Neat place too

[dry copper]

My sis and bro and I would just run around in silly costumes and dance or talk to people on the mic or just beg people to help us kill one another, creating fake drama

So-and-so ate my taco. KILL THEM

[idle saffron]

Lol

We just run around sometimes doing missions, and screwing about

[dry copper]

The best is racing in go karts

[cerulean kite]

i miss playing, the driving is so much fun in that game

Rockstar does a good job with arcade style good driving imo

i really enjoyed the Midnight Club games

[idle saffron]

Yeah I would agree

[dry copper]

Their rendering tech is pretty good too

They could easily make Cyberpunk on the RAGE engine used for GTA5 and it would be ten times more functional than the original and probably a shit ton less buggy

Based on what developers said about being unable to fix rendering issues with Cyberpunk, they do not instill much hope for the RedEngine 4

They fucking lied about the rendering engine processes though

So not surprising there

[cerulean kite]

how will gamers rise up when the witcher 4 is donkey doodoo

[dry copper]

They said the engine was designed to render only what you can see, which gave them a unique advantage in heavily populated areas. That's bull shit. It doesn't decide to not render shit. It renders everything, just shits everything into low poly until it's needed. Still a cluster fuck of problems where physics are also calculated on these low poly knobs.

That's why often you'll be doing your own shit and suddenly hear a bottle shattering

Physics calculation on an object rendered in destroyed it

[cerulean kite]

CD Projekt Red NMS. The whole galaxy rendered at once

hmm thats not good

[dry copper]

But god damn the world is fun to be in, in spite of everything

It feels lived in.

[cerulean kite]

even with no police?

[dry copper]

I just pretend the police don't exist. They might as well not anyway.

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

That flow busts

[dry copper]

@daring spear Just letting you know, ITAD is saying Epic Game Store has subnautica for 50% off. I can't see it, so it might be a regional thing.

Like only in America

[crisp sparrow]

She already has the game no

I got it for free lmao

[dry copper]

Gamepass. From what I understand, some limitations that prevent her playing it

I don't know where it was ever given away free

[crisp sparrow]

Oh very early on when they had just started giving free games

[snow zenith]

EGS I be

be

[dry copper]

Ah. Epic in december 2018 had it free

[snow zenith]

bet

I have hundreds of free games on Epic lol

[dry copper]

I stopped counting....So many

[snow zenith]

I only bought Death Stranding there because it was on discount

[crisp sparrow]

At this point I only accept free games I will actually consider playing otherwise my library is cluttered as fuck with games I will never touch

[snow zenith]

Oh not true, I used some of those coupons to get discount on Inscryption too

EGS is neat

Minus the shady shi

t

[crisp sparrow]

Never buying games on EGS, steam is far better

For local support

[dry copper]

I have 196 games. I purchased maybe three

[snow zenith]

I guess it can depend

[crisp sparrow]

I'll buy games through EGS when they support cash

[snow zenith]

Support cash..?

[crisp sparrow]

Yeah?

[dry copper]

EGS breaks, all of the game installs break too....

[crisp sparrow]

Steam does

[dry copper]

So I limit what I use EGS for

[snow zenith]

Like Steam Cards?

[crisp sparrow]

Which is very cool

No like

Someone comes home

Takes your money

[snow zenith]

Wtf lmao

I never knew that was a thing

Wow

[crisp sparrow]

And game is now bought go enjoy

Yeah they partnered with a payments service in India

[snow zenith]

P sure it doesn't exist here

Is it a safer bet over other options for ya there?

[dry copper]

Weird to have someone take cash for games on an online service.

[crisp sparrow]

Other stuff also there like local debit cards and net banking

Yeah it's pretty safe

[snow zenith]

Neat

[dry copper]

Remember when Cash was a thing

[crisp sparrow]

Ikr I only did it once just to see it

[snow zenith]

Well it's cool that there's an option

[crisp sparrow]

Otherwise I just use net banking

[snow zenith]

really wack for me

[crisp sparrow]

EGS only supports international debit cards at best and mine don't work

[dry copper]

I'd like there to be a skip the dishes for video game related things.

Skip the video gamishes

[snow zenith]

Like even if you don't have a bank account and are limited they usually support stuff like paysafecard (which kids use a lot for obvious reasons loll)

[crisp sparrow]

Indian debit cards have wacky 2fa that doesn't work for non Indian purchases

[snow zenith]

Uh interesting

[crisp sparrow]

Have to enable it and it's very frustrating

[dry copper]

What's a non 2fa purchase?

[snow zenith]

I got 2fa enabled too but not for every purchase

[crisp sparrow]

2fa is forced on everything

[snow zenith]

I also use a local thing that lets you make debit cards on the fly

[crisp sparrow]

Even for the Indian version of contactless payments (called UPI - United Payments Service) I have to enter a PIN to confirm

[snow zenith]

Tied to your actual debit card but that way you don't have to use your real details

[crisp sparrow]

Oh that sounds really good

[snow zenith]

Yep it's great

[crisp sparrow]

They instead did something else here, now the bank has to "verify" to whom you're giving your details

[snow zenith]

Wack

I guess safety is paramount

[dry copper]

It will get worse with the shit going on in the asia area.

[crisp sparrow]

If it's verified you get this icon next to the details

[dry copper]

That whole net change

[snow zenith]

So many comic books

Organising is fun

[dry copper]

More the merrier

When I was little I collected comics. I had stacks of them.

I gave them away when I moved and have not collected since.

[snow zenith]

Organising and taking them upstairs to my room

[dry copper]

Been.....20 years

[snow zenith]

All stuff my dad had growing up

[dry copper]

Got any of the original Argonauts, or 40 Year Old Hippy?

[snow zenith]

I dunno yet

Got lots of Moebius and Bilal

[dry copper]

Belial was a good one

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Belial_(New_Earth)

[snow zenith]

Lpl

lol

[dry copper]

Got any Lobo?

[snow zenith]

Lobo?

[dry copper]

The last comic I collected intentionally was DC Vs Marvel. It was like....Worlds Collide or something

Lobo was like Superman, but an antihero

Think The Punisher, but with supermans powers and he was a biker

Desperately edgy

Also perverted like Deadpool

[snow zenith]

Don't think my dad has any Marvel or so stuff

was never a fan

has some DC stuff

[dry copper]

The death of superman ruined DC for me.

I collected DC almost exclusively until they brought him back, that incidentally was right before worlds collide

[snow zenith]

WW2 comic lol

[dry copper]

Ah here it is

That was the cover of DC Vs Marvel

Lobo and Wolverine at the front

[snow zenith]

The other bag is just

Les Aventures de Tintin & Asterix

I think the only DC stuff is

Watchmen

[dry copper]

The Adventures of Tin Tin in french?

Sounds very niche

Collecting for profit or just like comics?

[snow zenith]

Not selling

Sentimental value here

[crisp sparrow]

Bros

Is GTX 1650 still okay

As anything else is doubly priced right now

(no Radeon GPUs, and newer nvidia ones are extremely overpriced)

((even the 1650 is kinda overpriced but it's closest to my budget))

Just want mostly playable frames on 1080p

[dry copper]

What games tho

I don't think the 1650 is horrible. It's not the greatest, but it's okay for a low end system

It's pretty much the intro card for most low budget prebuilds

[snow zenith]

Low end?

[crisp sparrow]

Yeah but it should be better than my integrated Vega 8 lol

[snow zenith]

The 1070 Ti/1080 can still run any game lmao
1650 is fine

[crisp sparrow]

Elden ring is barely playable in 720p

[dry copper]

Numbers don't mean jack. 1080 is better than 1650

Hell. But for the RTX, 1080 is better than any card up to 2080.

The design of that card is just preem

[silver sparrow]

yeah choom

[dry copper]

and yes...GTX 1650 is way better than Vega 8.

Magnitudes better

[crisp sparrow]

That's all I needed to know lol

[dry copper]

Benchmark has the comparison of the 1650 at a 300%+ advantage

182k benchmark tests

Gigabyte has the best benchmarks for the brand

I mean if you're picky about that

[crisp sparrow]

Also Indian market is very sparse, 1070 and 1080 aren't available for me unless I go for some shady sites that'll maybe deliver or not

I'm trying to buy from Amazon as if I do get scammed at least getting refunded will be very easy

[dry copper]

The difference in benchmarks between manufacturers for the 1650 looks to be about 6%

imo negligible....

That means the Gigabyte manufactured 1650s operate better

but just a bit

[crisp sparrow]

Is ASUS okay?

My mobo is the same brand

[dry copper]

Are you planning on OC?

[charred badge]

which one?

[dry copper]

Asus is okay. It averages 1% under the gigabyte according to UBM

So close that it could be argued a rounding error

[crisp sparrow]

No

Yeah I'll get the 1650 then thanks

Since my other options are stuff that's doubly expensive or 710,1030 or 1050ti

1050ti is nearly the same price as 1650

[dry copper]

First it was this

Then it was

Then the whole Reign of the supermen shit

To paraphrase one explanation:
DC didn't kill superman. DC killed death in comics.

[silver sparrow]

he bought gamestop at 15

I had one of them Tamagotchi's that was a Digimon.

That's as far as my cool goes.

[silver sparrow]

digigotchi

[winter yew]

Could connect it to other ones and have battles and earn exp and monies. Was pretty cool.

Only problem is you needed to know someone else that owned one.

[cerulean kite]

i mean, thats pretty fn rad

i can mail u a yoyo if u want

or u can buy one

yoyoexpert.com

or whatever country youre in just google yoyo

one of the best brick and mortar stores in the world is in Prague

[winter yew]

I already have a yoyo though 😩

[cerulean kite]

what kind

[winter yew]

Henrys Viper

It ok, it good for learning.

[cerulean kite]

yeah henrys viper isnt bad for learning, never had one, but its certainly leagues ahead of like, a duncan butterfly

theyre responsive yoyos right? the Henrys stuff?

[winter yew]

Yep. I'm sure it has a limit but I'm not pro enough to push it past that point.

I haven't used it in the longest time tbf.

[cerulean kite]

Yeah all yoyos have limits. Some of them can be pushed a bit further with some modification or advanced skill. Unresponsive yoyos are the most common within the yoyoing community these days.

If you're ever interested in picking it up again and want some tips lmk

i am respectably mediocre at the yo

[winter yew]

Think I might hold you to that.
Respectably mediocre is much better than most.

[idle saffron]

What's mesh wifi

Messsh

Meshhhhh

Good word

[snow zenith]

Mesh WiFi or Whole Home WiFi systems consists of a main router that connects directly to your modem, and a series of satellite modules, or nodes, placed around your house for full WiFi coverage. They are all part of a single wireless network and share the same SSID and password, unlike traditional WiFi routers.

[snow zenith]

Yep, multiple floors

[idle saffron]

Thanks

Meshhhh

[snow zenith]

Oh wow. I don't even know what to say to this poorly tasting joke...I mean...It's "bold" in the same way that it's "edgy". Very on the nose, but I guess fans of guns and being mean might like it...

The only way it could be more on the nose would be if they replaced the bullet sounds with someone screaming "ABORTED!"

[austere lance]

It looks like Robocop's pistol

[coarse swift]

I never would've assumed that's where they were going with it

Based on everything I'm seeing it comes off as "Shit I'm outta ammo. Time for plan b: use money."

Saying that its abortion related is kinda reaching.

I was exploring the docks in Night City (cyberpunk) and saw a rocket across the bay. I went to approach it and got a message in red, while hitting a wall. "There's nothing here for you, yet"

I do know that the bourgeoisie store some shit in space and there's a huge station up there...Wonder if CDPR are going to add space transit to the game

[austere lance]

Maybe make car transit work first

[dry copper]

The flying car thing is already on the table if we're to believe the notes on the car stored in delemains shop

Car transit won't ever work. I gave up on that train long ago.

The rendering of cars at distances is abhorrent and from what I understand, not going to be fixed.
