the-dark-ages

[pliant coral]

You hit all the out hit demons with the shield but the shield just hits a Mancubus without having to directly throw it, at it.

[proud cloud]

can you just not sheild saw bigger demons in like one throw like just slashed there head off

[pliant coral]

It digs into the bigger demons, most of what I have seen.

[proud cloud]

oh ye

[weary current]

so that's like, more than eternal when it launched

from what i know at least

[astral ravine]

yeah, there must be a stunlock technique that's going to be developed using this

like, stunlock a heavy, focus on the smaller demons

I'm also interested how the skill tree will upgrade this

imagine if it has a feature where the saw will splatter fragments of the demon in a small area, faltering demons near the sawed heavy

[pliant coral]

Very true, hence why the first upgrades I wanna get is for the shield-saw

[astral ravine]

or if it died while being sawed the demon will explode and faltering those close to it, like the microwave beam in eternal

[proud vine]

im probably gonna max the super shotgun as soon as i can ngl

[arctic pagoda]

Hm

[true merlin]

Guys I got an update

[arctic pagoda]

Supa shogun

[pliant coral]

Oh for sure, gonna get the super shotgun maxed. I love the model 1887 and now it’s double barrel.

[true merlin]

I got an update on when it’s coming

[arctic pagoda]

Woo

[pliant coral]

Nice

[proud vine]

peak

[arctic pagoda]

I hope mine comes too

[true merlin]

They told me it would arrive May 12th 2026

[pliant coral]

2026…

[true merlin]

Get the joke

[tranquil moss]

prob 80 - 100 gb since id is one of the few game corporations that optimizes their games nowadays

[true merlin]

It’s a joke Jesus

[pliant coral]

Didn’t seem like a joke when ya said like a statement but hey getting the 12th ain’t bad. Just a week away.

[mild loom]

That’s nice, it won’t take long

[true merlin]

Oh not joke being I haven’t gotten an update yet sadly

[proud vine]

remember that id managed to make eternal run on the switch at 60 fps

[tranquil moss]

hell no they didn't

[proud vine]

is it 30?

[hard thistle]

I love spreading misinformation

[proud vine]

don't remember ngl

[tranquil moss]

its 10 - 30 fps (unstable)

but i mean they got it on there

[proud vine]

the fact that it even run on there is an achievement nonetheless

[covert goblet]

Do y'all think the slayer might use the OG crucible (I.e., the one from 2016) in the dark ages, or the one he used in eternal?

[proud vine]

the one from eternal should already be in taras nabad so no

[tranquil moss]

yeah considering the overall low power of the system (iirc the switch cpu alone is a 1.2 ghz 8 core cpu)

[slender night]

Wasn't that Panic Button tho?

[weary current]

same here, and maybe i'll go for maxing out either the shieldsaw, the nailgun, or that rail spike thingy

[proud vine]

i love how the super shotgun manages to be the coolest gun in every game

[arctic pagoda]

The bonk blaster

[craggy jungle]

whens the early release date

[pliant coral]

13th but it could also be the 12th for PSTers

[graceful lion]

i love spreading misinformation

[zenith scroll]

Will collectors edition of Doom Dark Ages be shipped out this week to arrive on 13th since it’s 2 day early access?

[graceful lion]

they say it will be delivered by or before the 13th

becuase yall still need time to download the game lol

[fleet spruce]

I don't think I ever saw any drop to 10 fps, only like one section of ARC Complex and even then it's minor fps drop

If 2016 , then yeah, it can happen

[proud vine]

trust me tda will run on the switch 2 at 120 fps

[zenith scroll]

Ah fair cheers

[arctic pagoda]

No u are

[tranquil moss]

tda xbox series x running the game at 240 fps

[arctic pagoda]

Now, now it sends?

Waste of a good joke

[proud vine]

ps4 is running the game at 320 fps

doom the misinformation ages

[tranquil moss]

sega saturn runs the game at 860 fps

[arctic pagoda]

PS3 runs at 1080 FPS at 680P 834 RPMS

That's Rats per Mile

[graceful lion]

i dont think its running the game

[pliant coral]

That is a lie.
PS3 has no games.

[graceful lion]

maybe if u like feeling like ur in a slideshow

[tranquil moss]

the ps3 store is still open

[proud vine]

the atari 2600 runs the game at infinite fps

[arctic pagoda]

If man shouldn't run a ps5 on a dial tv, man shouldn't have figured out how to do so

[slender night]

Xbox version is unironically gonna do that!
...kinda

[sonic turret]

Why, what sort of TV would you ordinarily need?

[slender night]

Dial TVs are those 80s ones

Kinda like this emoji 📺

[graceful lion]

how many adapters did it need

[slender night]

I think you can get away with just one

[graceful lion]

well someone ran it on a tv from the 70s

[sonic turret]

Yeah, I know, I've owned several, but what's the minimum TV requirement to run a PS5?

[graceful lion]

jvc video crt telivision

[graceful lion]

as long as it has a screen

of a certain radius

[slender night]

Yeah you just need a HDMI slot

[graceful lion]

he did have a couple adapters

[mild loom]

I think the normal switch ran doom eternal at like 60 with shitass graphics

[graceful lion]

nope

[hard thistle]

If the game begins before the Taras Nabad seige then it should have him use the Crucible on the Dreadnought, yeah.

[mild loom]

What,

[graceful lion]

even with shitass graphics sgn is on less than60

so imagine more graphically demanding maps

[mild loom]

Jesus Christ

[cyan lotus]

Eternal on switch is 30fps

[mild loom]

Yeah it’s gonna shit itself with tda

[astral ravine]

how do you even play eternal on switch

[cyan lotus]

It’s a cut down version of DE too

[graceful lion]

if you overclock the switch and used a mod to target 60 fps, it still doent do 60

[mild loom]

How does a 1050 run the game at like 60 fps with everything maxed out but a switch at 720p can’t run 60 fps with everything optimized AND turned down

[feral bane]

Tbh if they depict the dreadnought I hope it’s an especially large Titan this time around

[cyan lotus]

A 1050 does not run the game at 60fps with everything maxed out lol

It doesn’t even have enough vram to do that

[graceful lion]

i dont know where you got that from

[mild loom]

It does on 1080p, I used to own one

[graceful lion]

maybe a 1080 ti

[graceful lion]

thats just not tru

[mild loom]

A 1080ti gets 100 fps average with everything maxed

[graceful lion]

its reaching 35 fps on everything except texture pool size and shadow quality at high

[cyan lotus]

1080p low settings already exceeds the 1050s vram😢

unless you mean ti, in which case the maxed out claim is still dubious

[graceful lion]

160 fps on everything maxxed*

aka ultra settings

[mild loom]

Wait sorry Nono I meant 1060

[graceful lion]

a 1060 cant run the game maxxed

[mild loom]

On the benchmarks I’m lookin at it shows 100…weird

[mild loom]

As much as it can I guess

[graceful lion]

oh yes the benchmarks

[fleet spruce]

You just do, speaking from experience here

[graceful lion]

are you using flawed/biased benchmarks?

[mild loom]

What would you consider flawed

[graceful lion]

everything on UN except texture pool size, runs the game at 80 fps

[cyan lotus]

just search on YouTube 1050 on doom eternal there’s videos that are struggling hitting 60fps on 1080p in the very first room

[mild loom]

It was a typo, I meant 1060

[cyan lotus]

Oh

[mild loom]

Jesus why am I getting peeled over not being specific, I mean as high as the cards VRAM allows

[graceful lion]

now that feels alot more reasonable

[mild loom]

And I thought I was douchey in the tech circuit

Point is

The switch runs doom eternal like ass, despite being on a lower res

[cyan lotus]

We might be moving goalposts

[graceful lion]

yeah id software is super optimizy

[plucky plinth]

Because the Switch uses hardware that’s was outdated for even when it released

[mild loom]

Yeah lmao

[graceful lion]

still runs the game like ass on even lower modded resolution

[mild loom]

Yeah

[cyan lotus]

If it can’t even reach maxed out then it’s not maxed out

[graceful lion]

theres only so much id can do

[mild loom]

I’ve never seen doom eternal run that bad, ever

[graceful lion]

id be kinda surprised if a 2060 can run tda at 60 for lowest settings (6gb 2060)

[mild loom]

Can we move past that, i just wasn’t specific

[cyan lotus]

Okay

[mild loom]

I don’t even think it’s listed in the min spec, the 2060 super was

[graceful lion]

thats why i said id be surprised

but hey the game is coming out in a week or two so we'll see

[mild loom]

I really do wonder if ID software is gonna hardlock the 8 core thing, idk majority of gamers use 6 core

5600, 7600, 9600

12400

[mild loom]

Yeahhh

[graceful lion]

theres probably a good reason

tbh the cpu is more important than the gpu, its like the main thing that does all the things

ohh ok, so the reason for more cores is becuase it allows for more shit to happen at once

like if u have a ton of npcs or a ton of things that have to be processed at once

[mild loom]

Also depends on the resolution and graphics settings, and lower settings allow for the cpu to make more draw calls making it more accessed. But at 4k, even a 7800x3d and a 9800x3d have little difference between them

[plucky plinth]

I’m gonna try making a game that runs entirely on the GPU just out of spite lmao

[graceful lion]

damn 💔

[mild loom]

Every engine has been made with single core in mind vro

[arctic pagoda]

Oop

[alpine pilot]

give doom or me sad

[half plaza]

the collector's bundle video is back out!

[harsh egret]

its 2 seconds shorter! i wonder what they changed

[wooden acorn]

Day 102 of 112

[wooden acorn]

They cut out the bit where a mysterious ghost appeared in the background

[harsh egret]

Can you believe it guys? Doom, just a week away. Doom is in a week! Woohoo! I am so happy about this information. Doom! Just a week away, oh wow. Can you believe it? Doom! Just in a week! It got here so fast! Doom! Just a week away!

[grim cloud]

9 days for me actually, i have work

[wooden acorn]

Erm Ackchually It’s 10 days away 🤓☝️

It’ll be a week on the 8th

[grim cloud]

but i hope hty give us a spoiler chat soon, need to exodus of here probalby before Friday until i beat the game

[wooden acorn]

We could all use a Caesar cypher to encrypt the spoilers

[harsh egret]

ehm actually its a week away in 5 hours for us cool guys 🤓☝️

[pliant coral]

Doom is next Week for everyone.

[lament grove]

guys go to screenshots rq

have to wait a minute but the music thats playing on there is sick

[harsh egret]

they posted a music track, its 3 mins and its unlisted

[lament grove]

yeahhh i saw that on twitter

[harsh egret]

i cant post it in vids tho, links r fked

its a banger

holy fucking fuck man i want this game

[arctic pagoda]

We all do

[lament grove]

gonna download it rq and put it on my spotify local files

[grim cloud]

its the week before the release, its goin to be a slow week

dead week

[half plaza]

i noticed this!

it's the same track that was in the Cosmic Reveal trailer

It's pretty groovy

[arctic pagoda]

"I cannot rule over hell, so long as you are the only one they fear*

Me: omg he said the thing

[mystic barn]

To add to this, heard very quietly at 0:08 seconds in https: //youtu.be/DVBI55DbNQI?si=uxczgeQOH4nN9wWy

[barren iron]

As someone who owned a 1060, it cannot do 100fps maxed out on 1080p. Zero chance

[livid quiver]

Can you DM it to me please?

[arctic pagoda]

I am very smooth brain,no valleys or lumps, no ridges or bumps, all PC gamer terms simply slide right off

[harsh egret]

dmd

[arctic pagoda]

umu

[winter idol]

Send link and i can post

[harsh egret]

sent now

[frail bloom]

Wait. New music track?!

I WANNA HEar🙏 😭

[harsh egret]

jimmy better post it

[winter idol]

https://youtu.be/3D1Tg3Lb8RY?si=Nn2DHAva6XJAl2EJ

[harsh egret]

hell ye

[lament grove]

yes that

[winter idol]

Sounds very classic doom

[harsh egret]

i love it

[half plaza]

It's got that IDKFA feel

[harsh egret]

sounds like a continuation from the music used in the hands on hong kong event video teaser thing

that one uses a diff part of the same track

great stuff

[mystic barn]

There's a trend of Classic DOOM mappers including Egyptian themed levels as an homage to MAP31 Pharaoh from TNT Evilution. I feel as though this track in particular would suit one of these maps. Being in Phrygian mode sells the ambiguously Middle Eastern feel

[frail bloom]

It's cool

Lol

Oh I can hear the bass

[half plaza]

Possible Hebeth theme? Mars...desert...

[frail bloom]

I wonder where it could play

[half plaza]

Possibly the level before the mech

[mild loom]

Weird

[mystic barn]

Nice shout! We'll have to wait and see, but it would make sense

[snow lantern]

Guh I wish I got to play early like Midnight 😔

[harsh egret]

didnt midnight literally not get to go to the event or smth

i could remember wrong

[half plaza]

It's easy just make a really big successful DOOM channel and you'll get to play the next game early

[arctic pagoda]

What's this song called?

[half plaza]

No clue

[frail bloom]

No clue

[arctic pagoda]

Thx Imma google the song now

[half plaza]

I'm calling it Barrier Core until we get an official name

[mystic barn]

A fuckin bop is what

[arctic pagoda]

Lol

[weary current]

yeah i'm not watching it lol, i don't wanna see anything else before i go in and play

[arctic pagoda]

It's just the thumbnail but with music

[frail bloom]

You mean hear

[arctic pagoda]

No gameplay

[harsh egret]

theres no footage

also the hands on event teaser is no footage, just shows people in hong kong event sitting at their pcs and stuff with cool music in the background

[frail bloom]

I'm listening to it on an ipad
So I'm not hearing the cool sounds I wanna hear
I just wanna headbop

[arctic pagoda]

There's no Handage either

But there is a Darkage

[frail bloom]

No it is not

[half plaza]

yes it IS

[frail bloom]

The cosmic realm combat track is the track heard at the dev direct when the armored titan rises

[half plaza]

!!

[frail bloom]

This track is unrelated to the cosmic realm track

[half plaza]

it is one of the songs

[weary current]

oh ok

[frail bloom]

Oh oops
Alright it's not a combat track for the cosmic realm,
But was in the trailer

[half plaza]

this is false

there are snippets from the first level that haven't been shown in any other official capacity

[harsh egret]

well kinda random to relate it to the cosmic realm vid, its better to listen to this one: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3MKfDufCKw

[mystic barn]

Somewhat. But then again, the Cosmic Realm track (in particular the Dark Halls reference) features in the Dev_Direct as the armoured Titan is rising out of the ground

[frail bloom]

Yeah that's what I said

[arctic pagoda]

People be like "money can't buy you happiness" well...I spent $300 on this and I'm plenty happy

[proud vine]

"money can't buy happiness" the 110 euros of happiness in the corner

[mystic barn]

My point is that using tracks from other levels for the purpose of scoring a trailer is common and can't really be read into

[arctic pagoda]

See, money = tacos = happiness,therefore money = happiness

[astral ravine]

oh man, I've been dying to hear the full ver of that one ever since I heard a snippet of it

[mystic barn]

Frankly, we don't even know if the track shown in the Cosmic Realm trailer actually scores that level

[frail bloom]

No I know for outside reasons

[arctic pagoda]

I imagine it'd be more spacy sounding

[fluid flower]

Would anyone want to help me get 200 kills in multi-player for Doom Eternal?

[final dune]

HUH?

[harsh egret]

pretty sure it does, fits preeetty well

[frail bloom]

I can tell you in DM's

[arctic pagoda]

Lot of ambient howls and tubes

[proud vine]

doom the music ages

[harsh egret]

he's back at it again

[frail bloom]

Who is?

[mystic barn]

While that's true, by the same token, Rust, Dust, & Guts fits both The UAC and Foundry

[half plaza]

i would bet that the weird techno-industrial track in that trailer is from that level

anything else is just random picks probably

[harsh egret]

nah i meant the guy with the doom the _ ages xd

[frail bloom]

Oh k

[sonic turret]

I love how Hugo accidently called it the Chaos Realm in stead of the Cosmic Realm, like he's getting his Doom mixed up with his Mortal Kombat.

[frail bloom]

I can tell you in DM's if you wanna know why I say it in particular

[mystic barn]

Again true, I can't necessarily argue otherwise; it fits like a glove

[frail bloom]

Can't imply smt here

[mystic barn]

Yeah, go for it

[half plaza]

It's not much at all it's like maybe 2 seconds tops

https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3MKfDufCKw

[proud vine]

so at first i was of the idea that cthulu is a mech fight BUT what if it is a dragon fight actually?

[harsh egret]

doom the cthulhu ages

had to

[proud vine]

peak

[half plaza]

doom the quake ages

sorry quake the dark ages

[proud vine]

dark the doom ages

[astral ravine]

please let it be a normal combat fight with cthulhu

[half plaza]

sorry quake the doom ages

[astral ravine]

I'm not digging the mech/dragon combat for now

[half plaza]

FUCK

[half plaza]

you haven't played it.

[proud vine]

the mechs look fun imo

[harsh egret]

the mech looks insanely fun

[proud vine]

the dragon seems fine

maybe not the best part of the game but not bad

[astral ravine]

"for now"
based on visual footage it doesn't look that engaging
probably fun on first try, not something I'd want to do on repeat tho

[harsh egret]

i think its too early to judge the dragon specifically, just wait 4 more days and u will hear more about it im sure 🙂

[half plaza]

i'm sure the dragon got more polish between the press build and the official release

[proud vine]

keep in mind they have upgrades

also the mechs will have different weapons

[half plaza]

and the mech gameplay looks awesome if simplistic

the sound design is just

chef's kiss

[harsh egret]

people are judging things too early, just wait until friday and u will know more about how it will actually be on launch.

[proud vine]

hugo did work on pacific rim

[mystic barn]

In fact, the devs seem keenly aware that the dragon combat isn't as cool as it could have been during the press event (although, stripping the combat back after battling hordes upon hordes of bad guys seems like a wise idea)

[proud vine]

especially the people saying that the game is slow

[frail bloom]

How old was the build anyway? I heard december

[half plaza]

i was about to say, this is our second pacific rim movie we never got!

[proud vine]

actually i have saw less of that since the gameplays

[pliant coral]

If they want fast, just change the settings XD

[harsh egret]

yh smth like that, dec-jan

[proud vine]

it was 3 months old

[pliant coral]

True!

[proud vine]

they should make a second pacific rim movie ngl

[frail bloom]

So they must've been polishing it from those 3 months
It's not like they left it untouched

[proud vine]

im sure it would be good!

[lament grove]

second pacific rim film? whats that

never heard of it ever fr

[harsh egret]

they specifically mentioned to the previewers that the mech and dragon segments are specifically still in development/polishing

[proud vine]

they basically had 5 months to polish those segments

[half plaza]

i would say polish not development

[frail bloom]

Ye best thing to do is wait till we try it

[half plaza]

but yeah i have no doubt that it'll be brilliant

it's doom

[harsh egret]

but if people calling it shit will make them be pleseantly surprised when reviews come out, im all down for it

[proud vine]

idk why people hate the dragon so much tbh

[astral ravine]

the combat loop doesn't look that fun

[proud vine]

it's not the best gameplay ever but it works from what we have seen

[astral ravine]

its just shoot, swerve left and right, then do a finisher, based on the footages

[harsh egret]

i will admit just looking at the b roll footage, its not anything crazy really, but u gotta know the context that they are still working on it.

[frail bloom]

Ye like charlie

[pliant coral]

I am just glad for the dragon portion we can enter in a ship to take it out

[proud vine]

the glory kill for the dragons are peak ngl

you can't deny that

[mystic barn]

I mean, that's just the DOOM combat loop regardless of what means of playing

[frail bloom]

Ye but hopefully it all comes together

[harsh egret]

most boring takes every about the game, "it looks slower than eternal", "dragon looks boring"

[half plaza]

nobody on earth is required to listen to the lukewarm take monotone voice guy

[plain iron]

Did I miss something chat

I was eeping

[mystic barn]

"Music is generic" SHUT UP

[pliant coral]

Godzilla would be proud

[half plaza]

newish music

[harsh egret]

LOL did he actually say that

mfer actually is clueless

[frail bloom]

I don't believe so

[plain iron]

Oh neat

[mystic barn]

Just general comments, not anyone specific

[harsh egret]

oh lol

yeah we were talking about moist critical

[astral ravine]

depends on what you mean by that. doom's combat flow is definitely alot more complex with weapon switching, right weapon mods to use, bombs, flamethrowers and stuff

[half plaza]

no...that's Doom Eternal.

[frail bloom]

If I had a dollar for everytime someone said that
I lost count

[half plaza]

One game out of several

[proud vine]

"the game is slow" GET OUT

[mystic barn]

Had to squeeze it in somewhere because I'm mildly tilted about it

[mystic barn]

You'd have at least 5 grand in your back pocket, for sure

[astral ravine]

doom 2016 also has fast weapon swap mechanics and flow

[half plaza]

Doom is Flynn Taggart killing big demons with big guns

If that's his name...

[proud vine]

tda has the shield

[plain iron]

I'm a Taggart believer

[half plaza]

So am I

[proud vine]

you can do so much shit with the shield

[half plaza]

Anyway

[astral ravine]

I thought we are comparing the dragon combat being similar to doom's normal combat, not tda's average combat

[half plaza]

Doom Eternal was a single unique experience and it is not the norm by any means

[proud vine]

nvm

[plain iron]

Definitely.

[proud vine]

sorwy

[half plaza]

Yeah 2016 had quickswitching but it wasn't core to the experience

[plain iron]

Doom eternal, imo, is the black sheep.

[half plaza]

You know what

That's not the worst take i've heard

[proud vine]

fair comparasion actually

[half plaza]

I'd argue that Doom 3 has more in common with the classics than Doom Eternal in terms of gameplay

[plain iron]

It's deadass not like any other of the doom games, visuals, gameplay and other things

[frail bloom]

The dragon and mech combat most likely is not as deep as the normal combat
They just have to be super fun as the pacebreakers they're designed to be
So hopefully they're fun enough to not scoff at when we go through them in our playthroughs
I think ID will pull it off

[proud vine]

if doom 3 didn't have reloads it would probably be more appreciated ngl

[half plaza]

Well the visuals are on par with the older games

Like pretty 1-1 in some cases

[plain iron]

Not exactly, the colour palettes are wildly different, along with many of the aesthetics we see

[half plaza]

Anyway

[proud vine]

keep in mind those segments are 15% of the game so they will not over stay their welcome

[harsh egret]

pretty sure those will be better pace breakers than super mario traversals :d

[half plaza]

Point being that Doom Eternal is unique and TDA isn't trying to be it

[summer obsidian]

I’m hoping they move away from the this enemy=this gun for the most part like just let me use what I want to use

[frail bloom]

The mech looks absolutely bonkers
I've been waiting for a good kaiju game since godzilla ps4

[half plaza]

those were fun too...

[plain iron]

Mhm. They're trying something different and it's good

[proud vine]

i always wanted a pacific rim game ngl

[harsh egret]

yeah yeah im not shitting on them, im fine with it

[plain iron]

They shouldn't need to be afraid to change the formula CoD

[half plaza]

but i do agree i'll take mechs and dragons over falling platforms

[harsh egret]

exactly

[astral ravine]

I think my worst take is that if I'm just playing a horror shooter game where enemies can ambush me in the dark I'd rather just play dead space instead of doom 3

[proud vine]

if they were afraid of changeing we wouldn't have eternal

[frail bloom]

Ye and if it works out, they can do even more with their formula

Things unheard of

[weary current]

pacific rim likes my beloved

[half plaza]

And to that I say play OG Doom 3 on a source port because BFG Edition is not a horror shooter

[plucky plinth]

At least COD changes something every game. Every EA Sports game has literally been a carbon copy for the past 20 years.

[slender night]

Or just play it normally it works fine on modern systems

[harsh egret]

yeah usually for the worse

[proud vine]

i mean the game is not that old

[alpine pilot]

holy shit doom dark ages has demons in it!

[proud vine]

no leaks in here!

[plain iron]

At least Cod have somewhat functional lore behind the games, unlike EA sports.

[tropic adder]

Ahhh memories.
I played D3 when it came out... panic hitting zombies with flashlight was the most hilarious thing.
I also got scared of ATMs. Like each time out, seeing ATM I'd just hop to the side thinking it was healing station and I was in the UAC facility.
Good times.

[frail bloom]

I'm playing doom 3 for the first time actually

[astral ravine]

what's next, lovecraftian abominations?

[summer obsidian]

D3 had miserable level design

[proud vine]

doom 3 is more akin to resident evil imo

[frail bloom]

so many tech bases
It's fine, at least the atmosphere is good

[slender night]

Might be a hot take but I love each gameplay formula DOOM has took up personally

[frail bloom]

Great actually

[tropic adder]

dont fear the ATMs ppl! They aint healing stations.

[summer obsidian]

I’d agree other than 3 good idea bad execution

[half plaza]

OG D3 is such a banger

[frail bloom]

Ye I never thought I'd have so much fun with doom 3 but here I am

[proud vine]

honestly im curious of what id is gonna do after doom

[half plaza]

I'd argue that there is evolution in the aethetics while you progress through the facility

[summer obsidian]

I’d guess another wolfenstein and then another doom in like 2029-2030

[tropic adder]

Don't call them that! They can hear you, you know?
The moment you think of them, you let them in.

[remote thunder]

this isn't really a thing though

[frail bloom]

I mean playing thru it now, I finish a level in like 10-20 min
There is a lot of tech bases tho

[summer obsidian]

Shield guys, mancubus, eyes from tag, etc

[mystic barn]

You're going to make me take up smoking with this comment

[pliant coral]

Wolfenstein needs a new reboot. The last game went down hill

[frail bloom]

There's like 4 alpha labs😭 🙏

[summer obsidian]

I got lost so many times

[proud vine]

i mean there are gun that are better for certain demons, doesen't mean that you are forced to use them

[summer obsidian]

For the eyes u are pretty much

[proud vine]

i would like a quake remake personally

[summer obsidian]

Same but not as much for cacodemon

[summer obsidian]

I think quake is fine where it is

[astral ravine]

I wonder how they'd go with quake remake

would it be a quake 1 or quake 2 vibe

[summer obsidian]

Quake is a doom reskin anyway (kinda) then again so is OG wolfenstein

[tropic adder]

I only ever wanted that "sonuwabitch" scene from Predator with Slayer and Ranger.

[frail bloom]

Don't know
Doom eternal already plays like quake sooooo what can they realistically do?

I guess rocket jumping

[remote thunder]

the first two are bad examples

[astral ravine]

like, will we fight lovecraftian creatures or will we fight an alien civilization

[summer obsidian]

I’d say if they make another doom game right after it won’t go well they need a gap game, maybe even a new franchise

[remote thunder]

explosives are a better option than plasma for dealing with shields (precision bolt hitbox is wide enough to hit around the shield, meathook forces it aside) and breaking weakpoints doesn't really do anything

[grim cloud]

show case the rocket launcher ... when?

and maybe the grenade launcher too

[remote thunder]

i'll give you the eyes, anything other than hitscan isn't a great option against them

[summer obsidian]

That’s still only a few guns that are good at it if I want to use chain gun for mostly everything I shouldn’t be punished as badly for doing so, sure no gun should be a one size fits all

[remote thunder]

if you wanna treat every weapon as a hold mouse1 damage stick, then yeah that must suck

[fierce steeple]

I call it the bfg9000, cause it rhymes with grug

[summer obsidian]

I usually cycle between ssg, heavy rifle, and chain gun and a little rocket launcher but I mainly use 3 guns

[frail bloom]

I call it... a rug,
Cuz it rhymes with grug
kill me

[alpine pilot]

This might be a dumb question, but how many slayer/atlan/dragon skins have been officially teased so far? Are we going to get more through the campaign by some sort of progression/challenges?

[summer obsidian]

4, the main one 1 that come with deluxe and one with CE and the really expensive one that comes with the graphics card

[torn veldt]

Ordering tomorrow my new PC. Ordering it earlier than planned just so I can play the dark ages when it comes out

[frail bloom]

I think there might be weapon skins also

[flint ocean]

one week till peak

[frail bloom]

For like beating certain difficulties

[torn veldt]

i hope the game doesnt dissapoint

[grim cloud]

so what is the premier trailer, is that something i need to see or is that just a reviewer?

[alpine pilot]

Me too, I've just bought an oscilloscope specifically with DOOM in mind

[frail bloom]

I'm guessing they release a trailer after the floodgates open

[flint ocean]

i beat the last game i was playing a few days ago so now i just need to wait for the next week till the 12th when i gain access to the game cause of 2 days early access

[grim cloud]

that is what i expect as well, but not sure how the press might know about it

[grim pagoda]

I'm thinking about getting a PS5 Slim to run TDA, but I don't have a need to play other PS5 games so not sure if its economical. I'm just hoping my laptop can launch the game so I can play it on low res and low FPS.

[flint ocean]

im hoping dark ages isnt larger than like 120 GB

[frail bloom]

Well they are playing the game
I'm guessing the xbox era one is a review
But the launch trailer may release sometime later that day
Just speculating

[grim pagoda]

oh im certain its lower than that

[mild loom]

Rocket jumping would be so hype

[flint ocean]

concerned about the games size since, granted it was with both dlcs, eternal which came out 5 years ago was 88 GB

[torn veldt]

well u can play gta6 on that console too! i was hoping for the same with my current laptop until i saw the system requirements.... i dont even cover the minimal vram requirement (with 6GB rn) nor the cpu requirements nor the gpu performance requirements..... yeah

[frail bloom]

I think it's 84, 17 more gigs with the artbook

[torn veldt]

the last 5 years rapidly changed technology wise

[frail bloom]

Something like that

[flint ocean]

the artbook is 17 GB alone?!

[frail bloom]

yes

[flint ocean]

gah dayum

[mild loom]

You should be running 20% of your SSD with free space regardless

[grim pagoda]

Rocket launcher in TDA has an upgrade that blocks self-damage on parries so its more plausible than you'd think

[mild loom]

It’s good for your SSD

[flint ocean]

i have a 450 GB SSD bro i dont have the privelege of having 90 GB free at all times

i already only have a handful of games isntalled

[mild loom]

Ah I see

[alpine pilot]

rocket launcher melee weapon. Sounds like TDA is just an update for TF2 at this point

[grim pagoda]

we can play it on 360p at 35 FPS like 1993 DOS days for full immersion

[mild loom]

Well, only option is to prove your loyalty to Hugo Martin and delete some games, or spend a hundered bucks on a 2 TB

[flint ocean]

i want to upgrade to a 2 TB, but my laptop only has 1 slot and this is what came installed, so i need to take it to like best buy and get them to swap out my 450 GB to a 2 TB

[grim cloud]

grenade launcher, the moment you get that, we will be seeing yellow shieled soldiers, that is my guess

[mild loom]

If someone could make a mod for that I’d never turn it off. I used to be a comp tf2 player and used to rocket jump to no end. I miss those days

[grim pagoda]

yeah and the new cacos have shield attacks too

[flint ocean]

rn i have fortnite, helldivers 2, raft, and REPO isntalled, with 130 GB freed for doom dark ages and later in the year borderlands 4

[grim cloud]

will there be purple cacodemons?

[grim pagoda]

could be very OP since landing on the ground kills nearby fodder

[mild loom]

Let’s be real….helldivers 2 is kinda dead…despite it being an amazing game….fuck you sony

[mild loom]

That would be nuts lmao

Imagine meathook speed glitching + ramp + rocket jump to maintain momentum + urdak or doom hunter base

[flint ocean]

i play it every couple weekends with a friend, and we get new warbonds every couple months so its not dead

[mild loom]

I mean in general, but that’s a good use case

[flint ocean]

im on pc hes on a playstation usually

[mild loom]

Ahh

[alpine pilot]

There's a rocket jump mod for Eternal if i remember correctly

[pliant coral]

May 8th new warbond trailer if I recall

[mild loom]

No way really?

[flint ocean]

rn im running an arson build. i pray someday we get a flamethrower mech that would be the best

[alpine pilot]

search Nexus for it

[mild loom]

Alright

[pliant coral]

I hope we get a warbond with more than just 3 pages.

[true merlin]

I’m bored

[true merlin]

Ah yes Helldivers the best community driven game

[alpine pilot]

Hi bored, I'm Polech

[flint ocean]

me too, i look forward to seeing what the next one. moreso i hope we get a warbond with more than just a few decent items, most warbonds lately have had like 2 or 3 good items and a bunch of mediocre armor and items i buy to access the items i want

[arctic pagoda]

It's free if you Google dark ages concept art

[true merlin]

Yall heard bout the wrath divers

[arctic pagoda]

Wrath divers Deez nuts

[pliant coral]

More weapon variety would be nice.

[sleek ermine]

Oh yeah I should uninstall Fortnite thanks for indirectly reminding me

[true merlin]

Why there’s a Star Wars event

[alpine pilot]

is the cosmic realm tied to the Wraiths too or it hasn't been confirmed?

[flint ocean]

no clue tbh but its only for a month

[sleek ermine]

I hate Fortnite

[flint ocean]

smaller battlepass, the season only lasts a month

[sleek ermine]

Ever heard of “May the Force be with you”?

[true merlin]

But ya I’m a Helldivers addict to the point my group now refers to me as the Hellslayer which is fun

[sleek ermine]

May the 4th be with you

[flint ocean]

theres gotta be a much bigger reason than than, especially considering yesterday they added no new star wars items to the shop

[pliant coral]

The Fortnite event is alright, it’s one thing I can play while waiting for The Dark Ages.

[flint ocean]

for some reason they added marvel slop but no star wars slop

[true merlin]

They released the new clone wars mini series

[harsh egret]

didnt expect to see fortnite talk in the tda channel

[flint ocean]

it shifted weirdly

[mild loom]

I played today, pleasantly weirdly surprised

[true merlin]

Tbf we are bored asf rn

[flint ocean]

anyway, im excited for dark ages, it looks super fun

[pliant coral]

I mean do be fair DOOM is in Fortnite

[flint ocean]

i think the enemy designs are the best in ages, i love the cacodemon design its amazing

[harsh egret]

i always go back maybe once every 2 years and i quickly quit just the same

[flint ocean]

prefer it over the meatball despite the meatball being classic

[true merlin]

Well I just play for the Star Wars stuff so ya

[summer obsidian]

Tda has been revealed to only be 84 gb which is way lower than I expected

[mild loom]

I actually didn’t mind it this time

[harsh egret]

i played when the doom skin came out in the battlepass but i never got to the tier to unlock it

[mild loom]

When did that happen

[mild loom]

NOOO

[harsh egret]

was somewhat dissapointed but i cant care about that anymore

if i play that game i play it competivively and my duo left me cause he gave up mid cash cup last time 👍

[flint ocean]

i remember that was back when i played a ton and i unlocked that skin in under a week

i actually reached level 100 in about a week. now it takes me most of the season to finish the battlepass cause most of the time the seasons dont interest me

[mild loom]

Aw fuck

[harsh egret]

im tryina tell him to take shit srsly and all he could do is meme around

what can u do

[mild loom]

Idk why people bitch about TDA’s spec requirement so much, it’s just…at the time eternal came out, the min spec was the 10 series, which was 2 generations behind. And now the min is the 20 series, which is a whole 3 generations behind, if anything it’s a better deal

[flint ocean]

what is the 20 series?

[harsh egret]

2060 super, its the minimum

[mild loom]

It’s just above the absolute lowest option which is still a good deal

[summer obsidian]

Playtesters

[harsh egret]

yh one of my friends has a 2060 and he wants to play the game 🥀

[flint ocean]

idk what that is, i have like an nvidia 4050 or smth

[sleek ermine]

That’s less than Eternal😭

[flint ocean]

eternal was 88 with both dlcs

[mild loom]

Ooooo

[summer obsidian]

Battle mode is the reason for that

[mild loom]

Damn.

[sleek ermine]

Buying DLCs just gave access to them, they are included in the base files methinks

[summer obsidian]

Nah no company is gonna do that they could be hacked so easily

[sleek ermine]

Idrk

[mystic patrol]

doom eternal + dlcs had a total of 19 levels, being 88 gb. doom tda is 84 gb, with 22 levels or so. math is not mathing Hmmge

[flint ocean]

oh really? i assumed it added more install size. interesitng

[summer obsidian]

I just saw 84 gb there’s a chance that’s the preload size either way it’s small

[sleek ermine]

DOOM Eternal + DLCs had 20 levels wdym

[mystic patrol]

ain't there 13 levels in the main game + 3 for each dlc?

[flint ocean]

is there any info about dark ages dlcs? like do we know whether theres 1 or 2?

[sleek ermine]

4 for TAG 2

[summer obsidian]

Nope we just know that at least 1 exists

[flint ocean]

damn

[mild loom]

Beautiful optimization

[mystic patrol]

i forgot the dark lord counts as a sepparate level

but still impressive

[sleek ermine]

Yeah

[flint ocean]

what is that in relation to an nvidia 4050. thats what i have installed in my laptop

better or worse than what i have

idk shit about graphics cards

GPUs or whatever

[mild loom]

It should work

[sleek ermine]

Searching it up shows results of RTX 4050, a scrapped GPU

[cyan lotus]

This is kinda neglecting some things, not gonna claim to be an expert on DE file sizes but when TAG2 came out the game + DLCs was only 67.9GB

[harsh egret]

a 4050 is a lil bit better, still just 6gb of vram

but ye prob playable i hope

[flint ocean]

god i hope so. i wanna rip and tear and i dont want my 2 year old laptop to hold me back

[plain iron]

Gotta love random ass gpus that aren't the "normal" ones

[sleek ermine]

So 4050 either doesn’t exist or I’m dumb/you’re mistaking your GPU

[harsh egret]

welcome to laptop gaming

[graceful lion]

the 8gb reqs are pretty stricti feel

[mild loom]

It exists, its specifically a mobile chip

[harsh egret]

4050 exists, its a laptop one

[sleek ermine]

I can’t find any information about a NVIDIA 840, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, STEAM!?

[flint ocean]

8 GB ram?

[plain iron]

Or weird, abnormal amounts of ram, like 28gb

[cyan lotus]

DE at launch was like 44GB

[harsh egret]

vram, memory on the gpu

[graceful lion]

vram\

[alpine pilot]

8GB VRAM

[final dune]

Finishing move! Give us more ost, and my life is yours!

[mild loom]

I have a buddy with a 5090, he did a custom mod to it so now he has 46 gigs of VRAM. The pcb for the ASUs TUF has extra GDDR7 slots

[graceful lion]

it does exist, nvidia lists 27 4050 laptop gpus on their official page

[mild loom]

Idk wtf he’s gonna do with 46 GB but he has it

[plain iron]

Random odd bits of puters my beloved ig

[harsh egret]

theres even rtx 3050 for laptops as well 😄

[graceful lion]

well theres also 3050s in general, striahg tup

[plain iron]

My rig has... I think a 3070

Lemme check

[mild loom]

Nice, your set

[harsh egret]

ah ye ur right

[sleek ermine]

1024 GBs of RAM

[final dune]

I've got a 7700 xt

[flint ocean]

looking at task manager in performance, it says i have 7.9 GB shared GPU memory

[mild loom]

I always liked the 3070

[mild loom]

Uh oh, RDNA3

[final dune]

?

[graceful lion]

ram being used instead of vram is very inefficient and very fucky, will not work well

[sleek ermine]

Imagine having 1024 GBs of RAM

[mild loom]

Suicidal architecture

[mild loom]

Some huge servers do

[graceful lion]

theres a 2tb ram server rig i saw a video on

[final dune]

I dunno what that means

[plain iron]

You remind me of nyx lmfao

[sleek ermine]

BRI WHAR

[plain iron]

I'm buying my rig from a mate, he's so neat

[mild loom]

We talked a bit

[graceful lion]

the guy was able to use around 200gb of ram from MINECRAFT

[winter idol]

Why is this a thing

https://youtube.com/shorts/G4z0JhZVbmo?si=6AuYvVqCa8GLNaLT

[harsh egret]

its amazing

[plain iron]

Bcs it's fucking epic

[cyan lotus]

The same reason the doom lawnmowers a thing

[sleek ermine]

DOOM Bike is real

[harsh egret]

Serrat turned into a motorbike, u dont want that?

[plain iron]

I would enter the give-away if I wasn't a fuckign child

[mild loom]

It means your GPU is actively trying to kill itself (all pc parts are) but yours is trying to faster.

What techtubers don’t tell you is that the architecture it’s built on is made to kill the gpu. This isn’t a guarantee and I’m not tryna scare you but you should be aware, as the consumer

[graceful lion]

DOOM THE BIKE AGES

[harsh egret]

LOL

[plain iron]

I'm gonna become a human crayon w serrat lfg

[mild loom]

Oh yeah? Do you know what’s in it?

[flint ocean]

:( im gonna have to pray the game runs, cause if it runs poorly then idk what to do i have no other options. i cant really upgrade the GPU in a laptop and i dont have 2 grand to buy a new laptop either

[winter idol]

Indians are nicer than harleys

[graceful lion]

yeah its unfortunate

[torn veldt]

what specs?

[sleek ermine]

Not getting TDA that’s all I’m sayin

[graceful lion]

i have a fixable 3060 with 12gb, it boots, but seems to have some stuff in it that needs reflowing

[summer obsidian]

Build a pc for 1 grand

[mild loom]

I know latency is a bitch but, Nvidias cloud gaming service is an option

[torn veldt]

good thing tda is slower paced lol

[graceful lion]

like contact points in the back, solder points that are cracked or not connecting well

[summer obsidian]

Actually their cloud gaming is better than Xbox

[flint ocean]

cant post a picture but 16 GB ram, 13th Gen Intel Core, Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU, game ready drivers are up to date

[mild loom]

Even 650 dollars can do him well for TDA, a used 5700x and a 6600 can get him over the spec requirements

[mild loom]

True but, there’s always latency

[plain iron]

Mhm, 16 gig ram, a 5500, 3070, hrrr what else... uhh the case is a fractal pop mini, got a custom 3d printed bracket for a noctua fan, and uhh I forgor the rest

[torn veldt]

OOF. the vram of that gpu sucks

[mild loom]

Well yeah, it has the handy sliders

[plain iron]

It's a decent beginner rig imo

[flint ocean]

unforunately ive just learned that

[graceful lion]

fuck, sent too early

[sleek ermine]

Is it possible for you to upgrade RAM, or maybe it won’t be necessary

[flint ocean]

its my first ever laptop and ive had it for 2 years. i use it for playing games and for school

[plain iron]

Gotta upgrade ram eventually, 16 is a bit too little

[remote thunder]

parrying on 200ms ping 🌝

[flint ocean]

but i cant upgrade vram

[mild loom]

Not bad, might wanna change out that cpu once you get your hands on it tho, sell that and buy a used 5700x. You’ll be guaranteed to be able to run TDA

[torn veldt]

yeah i learnt pretty quickly with my laptop too when i read the game requirements

[sleek ermine]

I never said VRAM

[mild loom]

Technically…….

[final dune]

Eh I've only had mine for like 3 months I think I'm okay for a bit

[graceful lion]

my specs are
32gb ram 2666 mhz
ryzen 9 5900x
rtx 2060 6 gb
2tb hard drive

[torn veldt]

i was planning to buy a new pc after 2 months but tomorrow im ordering it 🙏🏻

[graceful lion]

not sure if its possible to upgrade ram on a laptop

[flint ocean]

they said that the vram on my GPU was bad

[mild loom]

Chances are you’ll be fine, just saying the chances your not are just a lot higher

[sudden arch]

Question!

[graceful lion]

your lack of RT cores might be a problem also

[torn veldt]

i thought ill cut the requirements but when i checked i was.... a bit shocked

[harsh egret]

5070ti, 12600kf, 1tb, 32g ram here (a lil bottlenecked ik)

[plain iron]

The rig is more for art than anything else, but I do plan on upgrading the entire mobo and ram type, its a DDR4 board and I ain't happy

[tropic adder]

I dunno but it's capitalism.
Doom is the cow with most milk. So, it's a thing.

[torn veldt]

to say the least

[flint ocean]

ion even know what that is

[mild loom]

If it’s soldered ram? No I don’t think so. If it’s VRAM, sometimes you can

[sleek ermine]

I was asking if you could upgrade your normal RAM, because it’s on the minimum requirement

[graceful lion]

raytracing cores

[mild loom]

Ahhh well, that’s zen 2 for ya

[sudden arch]

Will the skins included with the preorder still be in the store after release?

[graceful lion]

60 series cards have atleast 32, beginning from the 2060

[tropic adder]

How are you alive?!

[mild loom]

Maybe, considering the preorder bonus for eternal was available after release

[graceful lion]

maybe, does anyone know if the skins for eternal were avialable after release?

[flint ocean]

i tried asking a friend who was knowledgable about laptops what i should look for and he was absolutely useless. now i actually know a bit more about what i want, i want storage, better GPU and ram

[mild loom]

The og shotgun skin and the doot rev are so idk

[sudden arch]

DONT QUESTION ME! I WILL NEVER DIE WHEN I SERVER UNDER THE EMPEROR!

[graceful lion]

you can try using an external gpu but thats gonna be the price of your laptop atp lmao

[mild loom]

I have some good reccs, I worked in tech sometimes

[torn veldt]

im never buying a gaming laptop after this one. the heat, the lower performance compared to desktop counterparts, higher price....

[sleek ermine]

Maybe it’s not even an RTX card

[sudden arch]

Man when I became a fan of doom like a full time fan, it was like 4 months after the release of eternal, but that was because I had 2016 and I loved that.

[mild loom]

Best option imo is

Cheap laptop

Expensive desktop

Remote access for games

[graceful lion]

literally called an rtx 4050 how doees it not have rt cores

it has 20 RT cores

[sleek ermine]

Why did you say it doesn’t have RT codes

[mild loom]

A 4050 is fine, it does better than a 2060 super, plus doom tda will have framegen

[sleek ermine]

Oh

[graceful lion]

i said lack of, not that he doesnt have any

[flint ocean]

i wanna get a proper pc setup sometime, but rn i just use a laptop, and im relatively content with a laptop anyway i just need a better one. i cant really find an excuse to buy a better laptop when this one still works, even tho i would love to have a much nicer one

[graceful lion]

but the more efficient rt cores compared to the 20 series might push through

[mild loom]

He’s asking how he thinks it doesnt have rt cores, since it clearly does

[torn veldt]

thats literally me 💀
well i dont game on my cheap work laptop (cheap but gold, T490) but its definitely not weak either, especially for virtual machines or heavy IDEs (even heavy IDEs inside VMs)

[graceful lion]

4050 mobile, not pc

[sudden arch]

Would a 5070 be good to run the dark ages on full graphics

[torn veldt]

yes

[harsh egret]

high prob depending on res'

[mild loom]

Glorious T490

[graceful lion]

the 2060 super is slightly better than the 4050 mobile

[flint ocean]

ive got a MSI Cyborg 15 A13VE if it means anything

[torn veldt]

even on 1440p it will run more than well on a 5070

[sudden arch]

Noted, thank you

So I’m wondering if the parry will be like a recharge or if you can spam it

[torn veldt]

i hope the former

[mild loom]

Not with fg it ain’t

[flint ocean]

what is framegen?

[graceful lion]

doesnt fg need more vram

[mild loom]

Why is my guy running IDE’s in VM’s

[graceful lion]

what it says, generates frames

[mild loom]

It still works, and it is a sizable boost

[flint ocean]

oh

so im kinda screwed since i have less vram than the recommended minimum?

[graceful lion]

frames not vram, it requires vram

[graceful tulip]

Still waiting for the ups to receive the damn package

[torn veldt]

im running linux and i need visual studio so i run a virtual machine. the cpu is an 8th gen intel vPro so its great for virtualization

[graceful lion]

might be, we will have to wait and find out

[tropic adder]

NGL I legit gasped seeing that name. That shrapnel through Varellus eye hurt me more than I'd like to admit.

[graceful lion]

the game isnt out yet and god knows how the game will perform other than expected

[torn veldt]

i get like 4-5 hours with a windows 11 VM running and 6-8 hours on linux

[remote thunder]

not sure attaching parrying to a charge meter is great, failed parries having a cooldown would make more sense imo

[sudden arch]

Lmfao

[flint ocean]

one can pray its fine

[mild loom]

No, it uses the tensor cores from the chip to create AI frames in between the real frames. One ai frame in between every other frame, does not impact vram, but impacts chip temperature

[torn veldt]

i mean its more than enough for me, so

[cyan lotus]

mayo must learn to parry

[remote thunder]

trvthnvke

[mild loom]

Oooo, windows 10 I assume?

[flint ocean]

i dont even need super fast, just somewhere between 30 and 60 fps is fine, ive play most games between that i never expect 100+ fps

[torn veldt]

before that i used to carry my gaming laptop which had max 2 hours of battery life

[mild loom]

All my Linux vm buddies run the windows 10

[torn veldt]

Windows 11 Enterprise

[graceful lion]

the 2060 super has 272 tensor cores, the 4050 has 80

[mild loom]

I own a (unfortunately now broken) over engineered 2017 Alienware R3 15. It was amazing for its time

[flint ocean]

closer to 60 is preferable obviously, but ill take what i can get as long as its smooth and manageable

[mild loom]

The 4050’s tensor cores are more efficient aswell, Ada Lovelace is incredibly efficient architecture

[flint ocean]

what are your reccs?

[mild loom]

Oh?

[graceful lion]

im hopeful id software breaks expectations and does better than expected

[true merlin]

Hey the videos back

[mild loom]

Depends on your price and location

[flint ocean]

are they laptops or pc parts?

[mild loom]

Id software is gonna use MFG in tda so we’re gonna be seeing 5080’s running 4k 240 fps

[mild loom]

Laptops

Tho I have reccs for both

[torn veldt]

ill have a blast with the 5070, especially considering that ill not be getting soon a new monitor so ill be running tda at 1080p

[nimble wadi]

hi

[flint ocean]

im in california, and tbh i could just take recommendations and look at them and eventually when my laptop declines or if i make extra money at work and can reason getting a new better laptop i can come back and take them into consideration again

[plucky plinth]

This is part of the reason I don’t use Linux. I live in VS so much that I’ll be using the VM more than I’d be using my actual OS.
Just chiming in for a small moment.

[mild loom]

Sounds pretty reasonable for 12 gigs of vram tbh, a 5070 is a great card, it’s just people larping about the 9070xt that makes people nervous about the card

[flint ocean]

ive already been wanting to get more storage for a while, which a 2 TB SSD is $200, could just go the extra distance and buy a whol better laptop with more storage, better graphics and vram, and better normal ram

[torn veldt]

i dont use it anymore as much but yeah i get what u mean

[torn veldt]

my cousin did that too when he was helping me do the pc configuration but yeah i ended on the 5070

he recommended more than 1 AMD gpu but no thanks, i want nvidia's technology

[flint ocean]

i wanna make a proper pc as i said, but part of the deal is that i visit my dads on weekends so i like to have a portable laptop so i can play games at my dads when im there

[mild loom]

Okay first of all, a 2TB SSD only costs 110 dollars. Also don’t think about buying new hardware this far into the future

However if you ARE interested in looking at good budgeted options, take a look at the ASUS TUF lineup for their laptops on the zephyrs G16 both are good

They cost around 1k USD

[mild loom]

Just use your current laptop and build a good spec pc for like 1000 bucks

[remote thunder]

mad overpriced though for a supposed 4090 killer

[mild loom]

Remote access gaming

[mild loom]

It’s 600 bucks

That’s pretty normal for a 70 series card

[torn veldt]

yeah

in today's day and age and prices im happy with the price

[remote thunder]

oh yeah mb

[flint ocean]

fair, i may do that eventually

[remote thunder]

was thinking of 5070ti

[oak temple]

1 week

[torn veldt]

nah im paying out of my pocket im not buying a titan card 😭🙏🏻

[harsh egret]

im happy with my 5070ti 👌

[mild loom]

I looked into AMD’s GPUs, not impressed personally

I have a friend who’s a chip architect at nvidia and even he mentioned it’s just not a good option (just don’t tell the AMD fanboys that, they’re gonna rip you alive with “source???!!!”)

[torn veldt]

the cpu im pairing it with is already peak with only 3.5% cpu bottleneck

no need for adjustments

[flint ocean]

idk what id need to build my own pc or what would be good to buy for a $1000 pc with decent specs

like specs better than my laptop but not spending several grand on the pc

[torn veldt]

😭fr

[mild loom]

Good GPU imo, mfg is a good start to a new line of high fps.

Multi framegen definitely has issues, but so did DLSS when it first came out, but if I’ll be honest, now DLSS is pretty much perfect with their new transformer model

[graceful lion]

amd is just not nearly as advanced for rt

[torn veldt]

this
fsr isnt even close

[mild loom]

The entire 7000 series was suicidal, and that shit sold like hotcakes, people will buy anything

[torn veldt]

its so smudgy and ghosty, feels like 2018 TAA

[mild loom]

Legit, my god, the performance gains are legit nothing and it looks bad too

[remote thunder]

5070ti pricing is so bad in the EU that brand new 4080s's sit around the same price point

[mild loom]

Your basically asking your game to look more shit

[mild loom]

If that’s the case get a 4080 super, excellent purchase lmao

[remote thunder]

oh yeah i'm going to

[flint ocean]

if i were to build my own pc at some point what parts would i want to buy? i dont actually know what you need for a pc

[mild loom]

I own one, excellent card 16 gigs of GDDR6

[flint ocean]

and what would be recommended for a reasonbly priced pc, like around $1000 decent specs

[harsh egret]

LMAO here in norway a 4080 super is like almost 1k more expensive than a 5070ti

[torn veldt]

i was first planning to get the 4070 super buuuuuut the 50 series is literally the same price with new tech (DLSS 4 for now) and evveer so slightly better performance (+6%)

[mild loom]

1. CPU 2. GPU 3. ram 4. Motherboard. 5. SSD 6. Cooler 7. Case 8. Power supply

[mild loom]

Oof

[harsh egret]

so im very happy with my 5070ti upgrade

[mild loom]

Look into that when you’re 2 weeks away from ordering the pc. Right now there’s no point, prices change drastically 24/7

[graceful lion]

i keep hearing the whistling from the doom eternal main theme in my head, help

[remote thunder]

i love vat + regional pricing 🌝

[mild loom]

Ooooo, Yas, the chipset is also really efficient too, I’m happy with Blackwell despite the 5080 being crap

[mild loom]

My guy is lucid slaying

[torn veldt]

i hope the rumors about fire hazard power cables dont creep up in my case

or my apartment......

[flint ocean]

fair i suppose, any particular brands youd recommend though, like you or someone said AMD GPUs are just bad so id want to avoid those, are nvidia good or is a different brand better?

[graceful lion]

just dont buy a 5090 or 4090

[harsh egret]

well ive had no issues on my 5070ti so far :d

[torn veldt]

yeah dw im not that rich 😭🙏🏻

[mild loom]

That was for the 5090 and 5080 series, and that happened to the 4090’s around launch too, nothing to worry bout as long as you got Amazon protection and a warranty

[graceful lion]

50 amps through one cable lets fucking go baby

[mild loom]

I’d love to buy a 5090 tho, but I gotta save up for a year minimum of constant working

It would be a crazy waterlooped system, probably Intel 16th gen too

[graceful lion]

16th gen is out?

[mild loom]

It will be out

And it’s gonna be pretty dope

[graceful lion]

holy siht

[mild loom]

Ya

“OMG get the 9800x3D it’s so much better”

500 cases of the chip literally burning and dying because it drew too much current

[torn veldt]

lmao

ive chosen the ryzen 5 9600x, havent heard of such cases for it thank god

for one its only 65W

[harsh egret]

i stuck with intel for a while now, been happy with it

[mild loom]

It’s only a problem with the 9800x3D specifically your good. It was cause they legit just used almost the same design as the 7800x3d with minimal current safeguards

Tho how are you gonna run tda on a 6 core chip

[flint ocean]

are liquid cooled systems expensive? i know if not properly done theyre more dangerous than just using fans

[torn veldt]

simple! it runs at 5.4GHz.

[mild loom]

Like 30 or 40 bucks more expensive

[torn veldt]

it will wooooooorrkkk

[flint ocean]

not terrible, but i assume a lot more difficult to set up

[mild loom]

So you’re saying a non 8 core chip can run on TDA? Thank god

[mild loom]

Actually easier to set up

[torn veldt]

i wouldnt be ordering the PC tomorrow if i wasnt confident

[mild loom]

There’s a reason AIO’s exist

[flint ocean]

oh really?

AIO?

[mild loom]

Now custom loops can be pricey, upwards of 400-500 dollars

And they take a long time

[flint ocean]

you can dye the liquid inside a liquid cooled system right?

[mild loom]

“All in one”

Included coolant
Radiator
Fans
Cooling block

[harsh egret]

i went for an aircooled system for that exact reason, and ive been fine with it, but it depends what cpu u got rly

[torn veldt]

like it lists in the steam specs 8 cores 16 threads AT 3.2GHz. 5.4GHz will provide like.... x1.6 more instructions? it will make up

[mild loom]

Only in a custom one

I sincerely hope so, 5.4 GHz is ridiculous tho lmao, my cpu does 5.5 on an overclock

[torn veldt]

its 3.9GHz base 5.4GHz turbo

[mild loom]

Oh it’s a boost clock, I thought it was base clock wtf

[torn veldt]

nah 💀

for that ill need water cooling

[mild loom]

If you got anything on AMD that’s not a 7950x3D or a 9950x3D. Your totally fine with an air cooler

[mild loom]

Arctic liquid freezer III 360 mm best water cooler on the market baby

[flint ocean]

interesting. i assume that would be the most efficient in cooling it, so that is probably what i would go with unless its $500

[harsh egret]

i got a 12600kf

ive had no issues

[mild loom]

Yep, it is, it’s only like 60 bucks

[mild loom]

Oh yeah dude that cpu is MORE than fine with a Thermalright peerless assassin 120 se

[flint ocean]

in the future when i have the money for a proper nice custom rig ill probably get a custom liquid cooling cause i want to dye the coolant dark red

[mild loom]

Ehhh, I’d say do that when your an adult with a constant revenue stream, it is a bit risky

[torn veldt]

asked AI just to be sure and yeah, "In short, your faster clock speed will likely make up for the slightly lower core/thread count in many situations. You should definitely be able to run "Doom the Dark Ages" well with your CPU"

[harsh egret]

thats crazy u say that, thats the one i have :d

[mild loom]

King of air coolers baby. It’s good for CPUs even up to a 13600k

[mild loom]

Oh that’s pretty nice

I use Liquid Metal on my GPU. Almost no game I play gets my GPU above 50 degrees, it barely even ever touches 50 degrees C

[torn veldt]

i got that old good thermal grizzly

[mild loom]

So when I make a custom loop for my cpu and use Liquid Metal for both of em, I should be getting sub 40 degrees on both cpu and GPU all the time

[flint ocean]

yeah thatll be a while later, in the meantime i just need decent specs and probably AIO cooling

[mild loom]

Oh yeah same, thermal grizzly conductinaut

[mystic patrol]

Repasting was always scary for me, idk how you guys can handle that

[mild loom]

When are you even gonna buy a pc?

[mild loom]

Dawg Liquid Metal is scarier, one wrong move and you literally kill your entire GPU

[nimble wadi]

Hi Guys im new

[harsh egret]

ngl i find it pretty easy lol

[mild loom]

Hi

[harsh egret]

just dont clean with a paper towel and ur good

[mild loom]

It is, zero risk

[flint ocean]

no clue, i wanna do it sometime this year but it honestly depends on if i can reason it with my mom cause despite being an adult i gotta run my finances past her. tbf im also a college student and were kinda poor

[mild loom]

Okay yeah maybe, maybe building a pc shouldn’t be top of the priority list rn. Maybe just work on getting everything stable at home, first

[nimble wadi]

hows all going?

[mild loom]

Pretty good

[nimble wadi]

nice, i joined here because the doom eternal multiplayer is so dead as hell

[flint ocean]

well were not poor poor, i have money sitting in my bank account for a rainy day and have for a while, and i get financial aide from school, but i also need to help pay rent and during the summer i need a summer job

[mild loom]

It always has been lol

[nimble wadi]

[mild loom]

Well hopefully a summer job can cover finances, and then in sometime in November you can try building a 1000 or even 1500 dollar pc

[harsh egret]

when i built my first pc, getting a used gpu saved me a fk ton of money

otherwise i did buy everything else brand new

[mild loom]

Fr lmao, used Nvidia GPUs are so good

[flint ocean]

perhaps. im still trying to find a job tbh the place i usually work seasonal summer jobs already fully hired which sucks. perhaps once i find a job i can work extra hours and save extra money, maybe instead of geting more tattoos i can set aside money for a pc

[harsh egret]

yh and i sold it again after i upgraded to a 5070ti a month ago for not that much less

[flint ocean]

with a proper PC rig youre capable of upgrading as you go along right? like you have a case and if your GPU starts to underperform you can buy a new one and swap it out?

[mild loom]

Ah interesting alright, yeah that sounds good, for rn atleast I put together a pretty good 800 dollar list (without GPU) and it can run TDA if a 700 dollar (used GPU) would be installed in it. By November or October timeframe that might be a used 5080

[mild loom]

Yep

[nimble wadi]

idk, i just use my xbox series x to play doom an another games

[mild loom]

That’s cool

[nimble wadi]

of course yes, game pass is so useful

[mild loom]

Game pass is pretty good

[flint ocean]

Cool. I’m still gonna try to play it on my stupid laptop and see how it goes with the idea of making a pc at some point in the next year maybe

[mild loom]

Sounds good

[nimble wadi]

i can play like 4 call of dutys and all the dooms

but not the ancient gos dlc's

[mild loom]

Why not

[nimble wadi]

game pass don't have the dlc's

[mild loom]

Aw

[nimble wadi]

to get all the achievements of doom eternal is quite not hard

the hard thing are the multiplayer achievements

[grim cloud]

release day for me now shows up on the weather forecast

another milestone closer

[mild loom]

What difficulty are you playing on?

[mild loom]

7 days away baby

[grim cloud]

9 days actually, i have 10 day forecast

[nimble wadi]

i completed story mode in my first game slot on ULTRA-VIOLENCE and now im playing in nightmare

in my 2nd slot

[mild loom]

Oh?

[mild loom]

Noiiiiceee

[nimble wadi]

now like, i play nightmare i thinked it will be so hardcore, but nah it's not hard

you just need to be strategic and fast as hell

[frail bloom]

Ost in 8 days

[flint ocean]

What’s the list?

[nimble wadi]

[mild loom]

I’ll dm you

Bruh

[dusky grail]

Has anyone gotten their Collector's edition yet? On UPS, the site says it has yet to receive the package. Does anyone else have better news?

[nimble wadi]

i can't help i reserved on digital the game

[arctic pagoda]

I got lasagna

[nimble wadi]

i don't like lasagna

[jaunty orbit]

How does the 2 day early access work? Is it when it arrives you get to play 2 days then you can’t play till released? Just curious getting it this Friday

[uneven mortar]

Hey did they drop the spoiler while I slept

[frail bloom]

You play two days before official release date

[jaunty orbit]

Ok thanks 🙏

[frail bloom]

to word it better, they won't take the game you ordered away

Just making sure

[grim cloud]

yah if only EA wasn't on a monday for me

its going to be rough not being able to play on tuesday while im stuck at work mopeing

[frail bloom]

I can't play till the 16th

So my premium edition is completely useless

I can just look up art, and they're officially releasing the soundtrack

I don't care abt skins

But hey, hope that money is used well

[grim cloud]

i plan to finish the game by the end of th weekend.

then ill be here asking for DLC When

[frail bloom]

In that moment, I will beg ID to add 10 more demons!!!!

[nimble wadi]

you got an campain dlc

[frail bloom]

More classic stuff!

[grim cloud]

i need 20 more demons added

[frail bloom]

Uh huh

[frail bloom]

Probably not this campaign lol
I wouldn't be surprised if we know 80% of the roster already

[grim cloud]

second dlc when? add more demons

[frail bloom]

But for dlc
I want mooor

Like maybe a pain elemental, and muh boi the classic baron

Maybe a chaingunner

[grim cloud]

i want classic hell nobles in medieval gear, give me variant recolors

[pliant coral]

An arachnotron from the Cosmic Realm would 100% be an Eldritch Crab.

[frail bloom]

not this campaign, but for dlc
Pls Hugo🙏

I will pay hundreds of dollars

But for now, the doom 3 esque cosmic baron will do

I like that he has no eyes

[pliant coral]

Axes for hands.

[frail bloom]

Yup, pretty sick stuff

[arctic pagoda]

That's ok, I respect your opinion

Apologies if I said the same thing 3 times, my wifi decided to go on an adventure

[nimble wadi]

thanks bro :D

[arctic pagoda]

Yay

[nimble wadi]

Da hell bro, doom 1 + 2 remaster has more online life than doom eternal

[iron agate]

Yo

[nimble wadi]

-?

[iron agate]

[arctic pagoda]

Oofs

Doom 2016 probably has more online life

[nimble wadi]

DAYUM

[iron agate]

My favourite doom game is doom eternal

[nimble wadi]

and in may 15 will be doom the dark ages

[golden talon]

SPOILERS* Cant believe Dark Ages ends with the doom slayer condoning Fent Use , hitting the Fentcart with the Betrayer

[nimble wadi]

MY GOD THANKS GOD I READ THAT IT WAS SPOILER

I DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS

[vernal star]

Anyone know if it's gunna have gyro aim on PS5?

[nimble wadi]

idk

[graceful lion]

[vernal star]

It better have it

[golden talon]
