The Parthenon

visual scarab
#

I’ll get to it riiiiiiiiiiiight after completing my pile of unfinished games

primal loom
#

Lol I know the feeling all too well

#

Odyssey was on my backlog for a long time

#

It's a long game so I recommend taking it in chunks with breaks inbetween and not trying to finish it all in one go or you'll probably burn out

visual scarab
#

Oof, my pile seems to consists of AoE 3, Darkest Dungeon, Code Vein and Tales of Arise

austere lance
#

I'm the exact opposite of that and hyper-focus on one singleplayer game (I have some pvp games I'll hop between) at a time til I've done everything I want to do in it then never want to touch it again, lol

I blame NMS and Fallout 76 for this

Lol!

I just finished Far Cry New Dawn and now I'm looking for something else to play, the problem is I get hooked on one genre and rn I'm craving first person sneaky stabby games and I've already played all mine to death 😫

visual scarab
#

Oof

#

Hmm, let me search the archive

#

Alright I dug up another

austere lance
#

My next game I'm getting is Far Cry 6, I'm an absolute hoe for sneaky stabbing my way through outposts and whatnot and 6 has some BRUTAL takedowns 😌

Yesss, very nice

I haven't played 6 but I had a lot of fun with 5

I greatly enjoyed the bow shooting and revolver, I'm a sucker for big irons

And I'm pretty hyped for the Expedition update this Fall

I'll have to redownload it after some more skyrim

#

Got a Bethesda itch lately

#

Last time I played some nice person gave me a load of stuff

visual scarab
#

Just note that the legacy weapon situation is a bit worse than before, with Beth fixing explosive damage and stuff

#

But the game should still be enjoyable, it's not like those legacy wankers can do anything to you

balmy plaza
#

I'm not even sure what legacy weapons are tbh

visual scarab
#

Weapons with unobtainable legendary stats, but eh, those things are unfun

balmy plaza
#

Aah kinda like sunset weapons in destiny?

visual scarab
#

Some are way too overpowered, some are stuff that Bethesda thinks is a bad idea

#

Kinda, yeah

primal loom
visual scarab
#

The most commonly used legacy weapons are explosive energy weapons I think, can yeet a SBQ in seconds

balmy plaza
visual scarab

But eh, fuck them. ||Most of those are acquired through real money trades, or so I've heard, which is a big yikes||

balmy plaza

Yeah big yikes there

I'm glad they made pvp opt in, I play to chill, shoot stuff, and be an Appalachian corn farmer at my humble homestead, giving fresh cobs to the hungry

and take pictures of course

Did you hunt down the big mythical creature bosses in the main game?

Cuz fuck that Minotaur fight, for real

Did you go grab Poseidon's Trident from his big statue that's unmarked on your map? It gives you a very nice ability 😌

Greek fire was an incendiary weapon used by the Eastern Roman Empire beginning c. 672. Used to set fire to enemy ships, it consisted of a combustible compound emitted by a flame-throwing weapon. Some historians believe it could be ignited on contact with water, and was probably based on naphtha and quicklime. The Byzantines typically used it in ...

Haha

Skull & Bones will have flamethrower too 😌

primal loom

Mmmmm

Lots of exciting game releases coming up 😁

But yeah Greek fire worked kinda like napalm, it would seem

primal loom

Although you also would have to be very careful given that you are also using a wooden boat

Also, what game is that?

I like it quite a lot

solid lynx

Shitty games you kinda just want to be over with

primal loom
#

and the recreation of historical Greece is second to none

solid lynx
#

I wouldn’t know

#

Have neither played the game nor know that much about ancient greece

#

Although despite its name Greek fire was not used by the Ancient Greeks

But the Byzantines

Byzantium

Pretty sure that Istanbul is the oldest city in the world that has remained inhabited since it’s founding

It was founded in the 7th century BC

primal loom

History is wild

solid lynx

Huh

#

Also

#

Apparently for a very short period before it was renamed Constantinople it was renamed Nova Roma which is a cool one too

#

Means β€œNew Rome” btw

Sounds cool

Not so creative meaning tho

I mean then again

Constantinople isn’t all too creative either

restive current

And most games tend to lack Photo Mode for any proper adjustments...

#

I tried RS in HZD...

Most filters crashed the game...most likely due to lack of VRAM.

'Cause we just can't have photo-realistic games running on calculators.

Ah that could do it for sure

Photogrammetry for Lyfe

restive current
primal loom

I stay very light on the shaders most of the time, try to keep the original look with a few minor touchups

restive current
#

DoF, lens adjustments and other things aren't my thing at all.

dry copper
#

What I like the most about photogrammetry. It can be used to completely restore art using a computer that can scan and recreate a statue (for example) right down to the millimeter.

#

Then you can use a machine that uses that modelling software to etch stone

primal loom
#

Photogrammetry rocks

#

It was used to beautiful effect in the 2015 Star Wars Battlefront

restive current
#

Uh...how does that translate to games?

primal loom
#

Imo it peaked the balance of graphical fidelity and performance of its era

restive current
#

(Explain to me like I'm 2)

dry copper
#

Scan includes geometry and texture

primal loom
#

Neat short vid about it

dry copper
#

In a video game, assets are loaded, often piece meal. With photogrammetry you can scan for example a bubbling brook and transfer the entire stone formation with all of its detail into a game world without losing any fidelity and at a discount in processing cost

#

Especially where shadows are a concern and you just want to bake them in

restive current
#

So...technically, you just scan the rocks and sand/gravel...and get the computer to make 3D models out of them?

dry copper
#

Baking shadows costs no CPU processing, and can save you the pain of overhead processing

#

yes

#

You can get all of the glory with none of the cost

restive current
dry copper
#

Dynamic shadows are fine. There's no limit. This doesn't lower the top end opportunities for rendering. It raises the low end.

restive current
#

No, I get that...but, for example, you scan a tree...and make a 3D model out of it...

#

But...lighting sources can move around, so how do you 'bake' shadows in?

#

Aren't shadows supposed to be fully dynamic?

primal loom
#

Baked shadows are static and don't change, they are part of the texture of the object

sleek cloud
#

Baked during the compiling of the map, as the mapper you set instructions like light source, shadows etc baked or dynamic

#

Fully dynamic just takes up a lot of resources

dry copper
#

Not all shadows need to be dynamic and games often mimic dynamic shadows using ambient occlusion. You can avoid that processing overhead entirely with baked textures.

sleek cloud
#

Saying that, Ray tracing is the future once our computers are powerful enough to handle all aspects of RT

primal loom
#

I remember playing Jedi Academy back in the day and my poor Dell was chugging along with maybe 3-4 dynamic lights, had to turn them off hehe

restive current
#

Right, so, if a specific area in a map requires a static source of light for whatever reason, then you can just make pre-generated shadows for unmovable stuff and only have dynamic shadows for moving objects and such?

dry copper
#

Ray tracing is already on its last legs with lumens

sleek cloud
dry copper
restive current
primal loom
restive current
#

Like, if I'm in a dark room with an old bulb...wouldn't that bulb be the only thing used for lighting?

dry copper
#

no

#

Light bounces off shit

#

That creates a light shift

sleek cloud
frozen carbon
#

what surface are the walls made of? how do they reflect the light that hits them? same for the floor. etc

dry copper
#

A lot of games include processing for subsurface scattering

sleek cloud
#

It's what makes skin look good when used

dry copper
#

Correction: On avatars

#

Subsurface scattering on everything would kill the game

#

Holy processing unholy hell

sleek cloud
#

Even reflections are prebaked too in a lot of games

dry copper
#

Duke Nukem was the best at reflections

restive current
#

So...the vent doesn't have any light...

dry copper
sleek cloud
#

Some games use'cameras' to look around the scene to give the illusion of realistic reflections. Forza does this for the cars

restive current
#

So any reflection is just a...portal window of sorts rather than an actual reflection?

sleek cloud
#

There's a hell of a lot of trickery just for optimization reasons

restive current
#

Then Isaac's model gets dynamic lighting and shadowing...

sleek cloud
#

It's why building a map takes so long

restive current
#

And rendering in-game doesn't.

sleek cloud
#

Nowadays rendering is done on the fly. UE editor does a great job of this

frozen carbon

I was about to ask what the UT editor is, heh

Well, the "RTX" technique of ray-tracing is exclusive to NVIDIA hardware

restive current
#

Proprietary BS...

primal loom
#

AMD has Radeon Rays, don't think its been utilized much yet

thorn dawn
winter yew
#

Dreadnought is fun sometimes

thorn dawn
#

So, NVIDIA provide acceleration for maths operations that is needed for ray tracing

#

but, the number of rays an RTX card can simulate is still low enough that it's effectively a gimmick

restive current
thorn dawn
fallen notch

Yeah, I remember doing ray tracing in the 90s and waiting many minutes to get a very low resolution image out.

It's wild how strong hardware is nowadays compared to 2-3 decades ago

So you try and match it to the speed of a CPU of the time... or you adjust it until the game is playable.
This is also why some 286/386/486 machines had turbo buttons - the idea was you could turn the turbo button off to run old programs that didn't have frame limiters

dreamy zinc

So yeah

safe sparrow
# winter yew Fallout 76 is pretty fun

I agree. Sure the writing quality has taken a back seat, but the core gameplay is really fun and the map for this one is really cool. Some great worldbuilding.
Also, much like NMS, seems like they've put in a lot of work to make up for the poor launch (although NMS still wins because it ain't dipping in to microtransactions and such)

My favorite thing in FO4 was building settlements with mods. I spent so much time making them. Shame that that's the thing most pushed towards microtransactions in 76 but at least they didn't gate off any main game content I guess

Settlements were great

The grind is painful if you're focused on advancing. I focused on other things like building reputation through engagements...and played it with others so, it was never about beating people

Like gtao grind is stupid

All of them...not just one or 2...

Eventually RDR:O is pointless if you don't spend every moment helping someone else. You'll get everything you could possibly want and have nothing to gain

That's why I liked FO76
