I now understand why people don't go underwater cave diving

Because of exploding star fish that scream?
crisp sparrow
Well that and also takes longer to resurface for air

Heh, they should add that trying to surface for air uses more oxygen, too
dry copper
Could be worse...like surfacing too fast kills you
and going too deep requires special treatment to pressurize you

@snow zenith best way to describe it is like, if Darth Maul was a character in a BR, but the only way to get his lightsaber was to pay $160 dollars when its released or cross your fingers that one day you open heirloom shards and can then get it

superman never gets any games 😔
dry copper
To be fair, the failure of superman as a game on newer engines sparked the lovestory that became "Undefeated"
an indie superhero character
winter yew
dry copper
It's hard to make a superman game compelling. You're playing a character that's virtually invulnerable. The only way to make the game compelling is to make the weaknesses largely rely on puzzling out how to do things, because he can punch through most problems
I think there is a way to make a superman game compelling, but not to everyone.
Especially not to their largest demographic that just wants a fighting game
Maybe make superman using his powers come at a cost beyond strength and endurance. IE- You have a social system that acknowledges how fucked up this alien is
So you have to balance your power with your humanity
Like was supposed to be incorporated into Cyberpunk
and never was
It was supposed to come at a social cost, using too many mods
tame cairn
if they can do it with shows/movies they can do it with a video game for sure
and can do stuff live action cant

thats fiine
biggest peev in games is when im walking with a character and i try to walk im either too fast or too slow for them
never the same
is that weird
fallen notch
Assassin's Creed got that right by having you automatically just walk with someone when you go near them or something.
willow crypt
i appreciate when games allow you to walk the same speed
or run
that’s a problem in Elex 2

oh true
willow crypt
a problem in a majority of games tbh
tame cairn
the witcher 3 also has it

Don't analogue sticks let you walk as slowly as you need?

Don't analogue sticks let you walk as slowly as you need?
yeah but usually in older games theres like a set speed
that they move at
and not even most newerish games

focused on VKD3D-Proton usage for accelerating Direct3D 12 atop Vulkan
VKD3D-Proton's recent v2.6 release adds support for using the VK_VALVE_descriptor_set_host_mapping and it helps with overhead reduction on platforms like the Steam Deck.

I wonder if this means that they'll build infrastructure to marry the steam deck and increase its capabilities without needing to buy a new deck.
Why is Valhalla still pretty expensive so far from launch? Is it because of exclusivity deals they've opted to gouge late arrivals?

sorry, what do you mean by "to marry the steam deck"?
dry copper
Build specific tech around the deck to improve it with third party hardware
Make it cheaper for consumers to mod their steamdeck, instead of buying a new one
I remember Razer going that direction with PCs. Project Christine
It never was completed if memory serves
That is, building onto infrastructure to make it more modular, sorry brain fart
I don't know if steam deck can have any elements made modular. Maybe if it used thunderbolt or the newest network connection speeds

For more than 30 years, only the most hardcore enthusiasts were able to take advantage of PC customizability. Convoluted hardware made it insane for the average person: knowing what does what, what works with what, and how to connect the pieces. uh, no...

For more than 30 years, only the most hardcore enthusiasts were able to take advantage of dinosaur climbability. Convoluted evolution made it insane for the average person: Knowing it's a suit, how to wiggle wiggle wiggle and that dinosaurs are extinct.

not sure, but i don't recall reading about 3rd party hw vendors. they did mention the dock that's supposed to be released, and that parts were going to be user replaceable.. but that was about it, i think

Linus Tech has had a shitfit over the steamdeck. I don't know how I feel. I used to consider Linus more in-the-know.

it is a bit confusing if you dont do your research, and if you dont do your research then its your fault for being confused
just go pcpartpicker.com and see compatibility
dry copper
I blame manufacturers that have done everything short of copyright and trademarking plug designs to stop consumers from being enthusiasts, too.
It's easy to blame consumers for not adjusting to an industry trying to cut them out.

PC building is gonna be a totally dead scene in india soon

I'd be surprised if India didn't revert to living in holes in the next hundred years with how damn horrible the summers are there.

afaik concrete absorbs 99%

Didn't say anything about concrete. Light reflection focused through a window like a lense does with ants, melted into dash

Oh assuredly it's a freak accident. Just fucked.

yeah too freaky as I've never heard of a single report about this

Apparently it was a design flaw not a super hot sun
The cars were recalled for having substandard dashboards.

I wonder how affective it might be to split the hot air coming in from the indian ocean using man made mountains in the indian ocean.
Force the hot air to rise, lowers its temperature, less heat hits india

random RPG thought
dry copper
Yes
willow crypt
the term 'faction' is becoming an overused word and concept in RPGs, and I'm noticing it heavily used in Elex 2
it gets very annoying
i think it's a weakpoint in the story, relying too much on factions and becoming part of one
willow crypt
use other words besides 'faction' every 10 minutes
willow crypt
fraggles
dry copper
I'd love for games to approach the concept like real world politicians do
You can tell how legitimate an enemy sees your group by what they refer to it as
Government, vs Regime
willow crypt
i'm saying that the writers should try to distract the player from this central gameplay focus, and not make it such a blatant, overused word that has become an RPG cliche
willow crypt
like, there's nothing wrong with the factions in the game. I think they're pretty cool to discover and learn about, and even join.
i was a little kid so i really don't remember much of Fraggle Rock besides the intro
dry copper
How long it take to beat elex 2?
willow crypt
i haven't looked up the length of the game, but im about 31 hours in

For context to those who havent played Everhood: ||This is the Corridor, which leads to its own individual ending of the game. It takes 3-4 hours to get through, and its literally just an 888 room long hallway.||

So far this is literally just Dark Souls 1 with a fox and 100x less weapons, lol

Thats what the reviews told me
Zelda, but Souls-like
"Dont let the cute style fool you, you will die a lot"
austere lance
Yes, lol
Also has stamina-based combat, tough af bosses, knockoff bonfires, and not-souls that you lose when you die but can recover if you make it back to your body
And so far the story is DS1+Zelda
crisp sparrow
I didnt see your username and thought "uh what the fuck is the barbwirecage mode"

It's also unbelievabley vague on what to do, you can't even read the language in the game and have to figure out what stuff does through context clues

that sounds awesome

also why did you compare it with DS1 specifically? does tunic also have something akin to having multiple humanity?

But seriously, the only thing I found that Bladerunner ever really did well was world building.
I've never seen any movie do a better job of world building.
Not even Total Recall that had people actually leave the world.
I especially like the deliberate choice they made in terms of characterization in what clothes people wore.

not just “stretch”
oh
basically she can shrink and grow and now shes green lantern 2
dry copper
I don't get it. How is she green lantern 2...Can she summon anything she can imagine? I didn't see a ring
dry copper
Yeah that bedroom scene does not make sense
She does not have that power
Maybe they didn't want to give the impression she had stretched her arm because it would look super lame, so they're reimagining it
tame cairn
Maybe they didn't want to give the impression she had stretched her arm because ...
people suspect because its too similar to mr fantastic when they introduce him
dry copper
This floating on platforms thing I can forgive as she's wearing the polymer suit
tame cairn
a polymorph superhero though?
idk thats pretty sick
at least i think itd be pretty sick
too similar to green lantern for me
tbh
she doesnt just stretch
shes literally ant man without tech
can just do it at will
maybe not as small
dry copper
Theres no way it can be so close to Green Lantern as to be disappointing unless they throw in Kelsey Grammer and Ryan Reynolds.
