general

[tardy arrow]

I don't think even with our currency going up I'd ever thank that shithole for anything.

[cunning depot]

I'd love if someone bought my setup for 1k aud tho

[tardy arrow]

[cunning depot]

i can make a decently better pc

well, 50% better atleas5

atleast

[tardy arrow]

I still need to sell a few parts laying around, as well as a smol PC I've had sat on the floor for months, but it's so hard to sell anything PC related in this fuckin town.

[sturdy summit]

I mean, the pc I'm saving up for [when on sale] is under 1.5k and its pretty decent

[sturdy summit]

Cash converters.

I'll buy it off you indirectly 💀

[cunning depot]

WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH

[tardy arrow]

I fully expect you to make sure it has an 80+ Gold PSU.

[cunning depot]

FUCK

[tardy arrow]

that's fucking two hours away for the nearest one.

[cunning depot]

WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH

[tardy arrow]

also no, they'll rip me off.

[sturdy summit]

Oh fuck that

[cunning depot]

i got a white screen of death 😭

[sturdy summit]

.... I might buy that small pc from you one day

[sturdy summit]

Yeah that's beyond me what the fuck did you do

[tardy arrow]

It's shit, I wouldn't buy it off me.

Which is why I'm selling it to some idiot in this town that's dumb enough to buy a DDR3 system.

[sturdy summit]

It's probably better than my shitty laptop 💀

[cunning depot]

i was deleting files

[tardy arrow]

That could be anything, honestly.

[cunning depot]

literally touched nothing

[tardy arrow]

I'd honestly say at this point it's simpler to completely wipe the drive, and redo windows.

[cunning depot]

welp, fair enough

puttin this bitch back into square one 🔥

[sturdy summit]

Make sure you backup anything important

[tardy arrow]

It could be corrupted drivers, it could be a broken update, it could be a random background application fucking things over.

[cunning depot]

i dknt care anymore

[tardy arrow]

The list of what it could be is so much longer than the list of what it couldn't be.

[cunning depot]

i just wanna use thid thing

[sturdy summit]

[cunning depot]

its wipin time

[sturdy summit]

I mean, I wouldn't be too surprised if the mobo is acting up physically

[cunning depot]

ITS A NEW BOARD

i literally got it new, sevral days ago

[sturdy summit]

New shit breaks sometimes 😭

[tardy arrow]

..You didn't bend any pins when installing the CPU, right?

[sturdy summit]

Oh.

[cunning depot]

i did not

[tardy arrow]

Okay good.

[sturdy summit]

See this is why I don't trust myself to build my own pc

[tardy arrow]

Honestly, it could be genuinely anything.

The list of what it couldn't be is magic, and user error. The list of what it could be is far too long.

[sturdy summit]

I can build wooden models but wood is a lot stronger than those small pc parts

[cunning depot]

time to restart windows, part 2

[tardy arrow]

Format in the windows installer.

[cunning depot]

yes

[tardy arrow]

Excellent.

[cunning depot]

format it to what tho

i have a new usb drive as installation medja

[tardy arrow]

It'll default to the settings it needs.

[cunning depot]

ok

[tardy arrow]

You shouldn't need to change anything, unless you want it to have a different drive letter, and you can put a name on it.

[cunning depot]

"balls"

[tardy arrow]

D:\Nuts.

[cunning depot]

time to delete a terabyte of data, AGAIN

oh its doen???

ehat thr fuck

thats like 5 seconds

what the fuck is this sorcery

[sturdy summit]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1278629590797123602/1350734358692102154/Screenshot_20250316_183525_Samsung_Internet.jpg?ex=67d7d0e6&is=67d67f66&hm=d7d6f797cf329367efff61d0800dbec4ba571fb0bc60367a7893bb2d1ceee701&

Speaking of, nyx i think you might like this :D model tommy gun that's semi functional.....

[tardy arrow]

Don't tempt me with things to buy.

[cunning depot]

how did it delete a terabyte in seconds

[tardy arrow]

I already want to drop nearly another $500 on Star Citizen, plus money into Warships, and maybe Warframe.

Not to mention nearly 3 grand in PC parts again.

[cunning depot]

why star shitizen

[tardy arrow]

Formatting, or deleting windows.old?

Because I like the game, I really enjoy it.

[cunning depot]

format

fair

[tardy arrow]

Formatting is insanely fast.

[sturdy summit]

They have a assault rifle. [Plus a pump shotgun]

[cunning depot]

YEAH I CAN TELL

[tardy arrow]

SC's the only space sim I actually like. I think ED is fucking garbage, and No Man's Sky is more survival than sim.

[cunning depot]

i like planet crafter

its a tycoon game but you dont get money, pretty much

[tardy arrow]

Also, Thomas, I forgot to send the screenshot of why 1999 is best update.

[sturdy summit]

HHRR SHOW ME

[tardy arrow]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/644694332783329339/1350724985890803783/image.png?ex=67d7c82b&is=67d676ab&hm=a804e60966a213405f88888d3f1b82989fd618bacecbeac002bca8a62b11915d&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=938&height=527

Lesbians.

[cunning depot]

peakframe 1999

warpeak?

[tardy arrow]

eeeeeeh Peakframe probably works better.

[cunning depot]

true

windows installed faster this time i think

[tardy arrow]

Progress.

Honestly Windows installs pretty quick usually.

[cunning depot]

like 10 mins or so to install

[tardy arrow]

Unless it's a 5400RPM HDD from the late 90's in which it's nearly an hour of being bored fucking shitless.

[sturdy summit]

AOOOOOO

WOMEN

[cunning depot]

i think i had a deja vu about this

[sturdy summit]

YURI YURI YURI LETS GO

[cunning depot]

oh shit getting devices ready was significantly faster

well if that isnt a sign idk what is

[sturdy summit]

Man. I need to get past Europa.

Too bad another FUCKING HIJACK MISSION is stopping me.

[cunning depot]

hopefully "Getting Ready" doesnt take 5 hours this time (it literally took more than 5 hours)

[tardy arrow]

I'm right here.

[sturdy summit]

... no.

[tardy arrow]

I won't even shoot!

[sturdy summit]

In other news, I do about 1000+ impact damage and I think that's cool

[sturdy summit]

no I have my pupper for that

[cunning depot]

GETTING REAFY IS DONE

[tardy arrow]

I'll just stand on the hijack target and keep it moving!

[cunning depot]

it took me several hours before, my god

[sturdy summit]

no.

I'll just grind on a few frame quests

[tardy arrow]

[cunning depot]

just 50 more quests 🔥

[sturdy summit]

I was doing limbo's and man ordis was losing his shit

[tardy arrow]

I despise limbo.

I cannot stand him as a warframe.

[sturdy summit]

I don't like how he can't dash but man i like looking pretty :D

[tardy arrow]

Every single time I've seen a limbo in a public lobby it's played by a dickhead that goes "haha void"

rather than using his fucking kit properly.

[sturdy summit]

Compared to the rest of the masculine frames he got the most swag

[sturdy summit]

Ew

[tardy arrow]

I think the only masc frame I actually like is Inaros.

[sturdy summit]

I genuinely hate that part of limbo's movement

[tardy arrow]

Otherwise it's femme frames all the way, they're just better.

[sturdy summit]

Beteer.

[tardy arrow]

shut.

[sturdy summit]

The femme frames are much prettier tho

Citrine... ourh...

Crystal :D

[tardy arrow]

I don't like citrine

I don't like the way she looks and I don't like her kit.

[sturdy summit]

Understandable 💀

Equinox looks pretty tho

[tardy arrow]

Mesa, though? My god.

[sturdy summit]

ough.

... I have enough credits for her blueprint.

[tardy arrow]

Mesa is amazing.

[sturdy summit]

Nvm her quest is in eris

That autocorrected to Brisbane.

[tardy arrow]

I love her so much, honestly.

[sturdy summit]

Ew.

[tardy arrow]

Real good kit.

[cunning depot]

oh right, then comes the arduous task of installing my games again

[tardy arrow]

ew.

[cunning depot]

ew

[sturdy summit]

I really wanna get hildryn but no

[tardy arrow]

Hildryn is great.

Really, really strong.

[sturdy summit]

Expensive :[

[tardy arrow]

Just free armor strip while being real tanky.

[cunning depot]

windows done again:3

[tardy arrow]

Hell yeah.

[sturdy summit]

26 dollars... nuh uh I ain't paying that much

[tardy arrow]

I can fix that.

[sturdy summit]

no.

[tardy arrow]

I'd say you can't stop me but I can't remember your warframe name, so.

[sturdy summit]

HA

IVE NEVER SHARED IT SO FUCK YOU

[hushed aspen]

my pc is so cooked that when i blow a grenade close to me in brutal doom i can see the game slightly loosing fps

so cooked that its more than 10 years old

[sturdy summit]

Ew brutal doom

That's what you get for using brutal doom

[tardy arrow]

I can't remember who it was I gifted something to so rip them too I guess.

[hushed aspen]

so cooked that even after downloading like 10 mods to make rdr 1 run it still shows "a hardware graphics adapter with support for D3D_FEATURE_LEVEL_11_0 is required."

[sturdy summit]

Reminder it used to use genuine gore for some of its assets

[tardy arrow]

Imagine not having a DX11 capable card.

[hushed aspen]

atleast i can play gta 4 at the lowest graphics set

[tardy arrow]

..My JD bottle is almost empty.

Thomas, where'd it go.

[sturdy summit]

I'd only let myself be in media that way if it was a medical journal

[sturdy summit]

... nowhere.

[hushed aspen]

i can play gta 4 with the lowest graphics but cant play rdr 1

great

[sturdy summit]

-# this is what you get for stealing my cheese

[hushed aspen]

i need postal 2

[hushed aspen]

life is cheese

cheese is love

bye

[cunning depot]

oh nice i got a bsod

[tardy arrow]

fuck sake.

[tardy arrow]

That's because RDR1 requires more than what GTA 4 does.

simple concept, buy a DX11 capable card.

[sturdy summit]

I'm sad cuz I forgot to activate the waverider quest when I was doing that fuckass 5 seconds of airtime thing

[cunning depot]

oh god im having a bsod loop

oh fuck

[tardy arrow]

uhhhhhhhhh

Turn it off, fully, remove all sticks of RAM but 1, boot.

You're going to start rebooting with RAM sticks in different slots and alternating sticks.

[sturdy summit]

Did it.

[tardy arrow]

good luck with that quest cause it sucks.

[sturdy summit]

I know :|

I'm gonna cry now

Or just dance in fortuna that works

[cunning depot]

at this point im tempted to install linux if it means my pc works

[tardy arrow]

It's probably a hardware issue.

[cunning depot]

mannn

but that means it probably id a gpu issue

[tardy arrow]

Like I said, start testing ram sticks.

[sturdy summit]

... check if your mobo is touching something it's not supposed to.

[cunning depot]

or cpu

[tardy arrow]

Boot with one RAM stick at a time.

[cunning depot]

it aint

[sturdy summit]

Good

Now do what nyx is saying I don't know much more than what she teaches me

[cunning depot]

told it to reset my pc

so ill do ram stuff in a bit

[tardy arrow]

good.

Potentially faulty RAM also leads to BSOD's.

[cunning depot]

why didnt it do so before?

and why didnt it do it kn my old pc

which was working weeks ago

[sturdy summit]

Connection might be weird w the new board?

[cunning depot]

why woukf it be

all of them sre the same pcie slots

[hushed aspen]

hotline miami 2 is peak

[tardy arrow]

Could be anything.

The fun part about owning a PC is parts will just die at random.

It can be fine one moment, dead the next.

[cunning depot]

fuck

how do i figure out which part is dead tho

[tardy arrow]

Trial and error.

Test RAM first.

CPU and GPU testing has to be done with benchmarking software, like furmark and cinebench.

[cunning depot]

dont these need drivers

[tardy arrow]

what

[cunning depot]

nvm

[severe holly]

hello

[astral mortar]

The world is in turmoil and people are in pain.

Even still we can take comfort in knowing that there is bucket of wet slop 😁

[dry abyss]

guys should i get doom eternal or doom 2016

[astral mortar]

Depends

[dry abyss]

on what?

[astral mortar]

What’s your play style

[dry abyss]

fast and aggressive

[astral mortar]

Eternal

[dry abyss]

i jst wana kill somthing

so should i still go for eternal?

[astral mortar]

Eternal is heavy on gore and violence, perhaps more than any other doom game

[dry abyss]

ok thanks

[hushed aspen]

peak

[tardy arrow]

Every time I look away my ship loses 400m/s.

[astral mortar]

eternal? doom eternal? doom reference holy shit

[sturdy summit]

Then don't look away :D

https://tenor.com/view/pingu-music-jam-gif-17169969

[tardy arrow]

I have to slow-cruise at 1000m/s over 400km, the fuck else am I gonna look at, space?

My HUD go insane because I dared to use the afterburner?

[sturdy summit]

How dare you.

[tardy arrow]

Weirdly enough, if I fire the afterburner it stops.

But as soon as it settles back at 999m/s it goes nuts again.

You'd think a kilometer a second would be quick but it really isn't.

I need my UI to stop going because it's actaully hurting my eyes.

[cunning depot]

none of the screens of death i had had issues due to ram and cpu

and i dont think its the psu either, because there would be other signs

so that leaves, the worst one

the gpu

[sturdy summit]

It's having a seizure call the ship ambulance

[tardy arrow]

I told a friend my entire UI was going and she got mad at me cause the emote was too accurate.

It fixed itself now, so I have a feeling it didn't like quantuming around the moon.

[sturdy summit]

Heheh

Quantuming around tha moon

[cunning depot]

im gonna actually transfer my mobo to my new case now

[sturdy summit]

It wasn't in the case??

Broski 😭

[cunning depot]

it was in my old case

[somber estuary]

can you gift me doom 1+2

can anyone gift me

[cunning depot]

no

[sturdy summit]

No go buy it yourself.

[somber estuary]

but i am debating if i should buy rdr 2 instead

i wanted u to gift me doom 1+2 so i can buy rdr 2

[cunning depot]

do u wanna kill demons or kill cowboys

[sturdy summit]

??? Those are two wildly different prices

[somber estuary]

my friend

he highly recommends rdr 2 for some reason

even if i am not a fan of cowboys?

[astral mortar]

He’s either really young, like 10 or just really unfit for life

[sturdy summit]

If you can afford rdr2 you can afford doom 1 and 2

[cunning depot]

u prob won't like it

[somber estuary]

because i only have just enough for rdr2

[sturdy summit]

Ehhh I love rdr2

[somber estuary]

i cant buy both

[cunning depot]

this

[somber estuary]

that is the problem

[sturdy summit]

Get a physical copy then, find one at a second hand store

Generally it's cheaper that way

[somber estuary]

how?

i can only buy it with a steam voucher

[sturdy summit]

Ah.

[somber estuary]

i dont have a credit card

[sturdy summit]

Hm.

[somber estuary]

its only $5, what is the harm in gifting me

[sturdy summit]

WHAT

[somber estuary]

just this once, i promise

[sturdy summit]

Bro i ain't even got 2 dollars

[astral mortar]

@somber estuary no one is going to gift you games, none of us know you. You’ll have to make this decision yourself like the rest of us when we buy things

[cunning depot]

we have lives too bro

[somber estuary]

what about the doom wads

[cunning depot]

arent wads free

[sturdy summit]

Okay uh

[somber estuary]

that is the reason i am trying to choose the doom games over rdr2

[sturdy summit]

Do you want story? Or do you want short fun

[somber estuary]

are they good enough

[sturdy summit]

Also, can your computer even run rdr2

[somber estuary]

rtx 3050, 16gb ram

[sturdy summit]

Yeah alright you should be fine in that regard then

[somber estuary]

laptop version btw

[sturdy summit]

oh.

Eh she'll be right

[somber estuary]

but i am still conflicted

[cunning depot]

if you can afford a 3050 laptop you can afford both rdr2 and doom 1+2

[sturdy summit]

Rdr2 is a very long game

[cunning depot]

gta 5 cowboy edition or smth idk

[somber estuary]

how hard is rdr2

[cunning depot]

dont think doom 1+2 or rdr2 neither count as "hard"

[sturdy summit]

Eh I'd say it's pretty easy, if you know what you are doing

There is lots of missions and shit in rdr2

Deadass changed my life but like

Yknow

[astral mortar]

Gets progressively more difficult but it’s more story driven so it won’t become too hard

[somber estuary]

ok

[cunning depot]

"this game changed my life" ass message

[sturdy summit]

It really did 😭

[somber estuary]

richter

[sturdy summit]

I burnt over 1000 hours into rdr2

[somber estuary]

can you gift me doom 1+2, so i can buy rdr2

[astral mortar]

Rdr2 made me into a better more honourable man

[sturdy summit]

Those are hours I will never get back

[somber estuary]

@cunning depot

[cunning depot]

i spent over 2000 hours on fuckin terraria my guy

[sturdy summit]

go wait for a sale.

[cunning depot]

i cant

i just cant

[somber estuary]

there is a sale rn

[cunning depot]

then buy it lol

buy which you like more

[sturdy summit]

Well you're shit outta luck 😭

[somber estuary]

because rdr is 55 qr and doom 1+2 is 17 qr

[astral mortar]

@somber estuary no one is going to gift you games buddy

Firstly we have lives
Secondly money is hard to get
Thirdly we don’t know who you are

[somber estuary]

and my budget is 60-70 qar

[cunning depot]

quwait?

[somber estuary]

if you knew me

[cunning depot]

qatar

[somber estuary]

will that change your mind

[sturdy summit]

Dude I wouldn't even give a corn chip to my brother

I don't share often 💀

[astral mortar]

Yeah if you were my friend I’d probably be more willing to shed some money for you

[cunning depot]

i gifted people games before but st that time i had money

[somber estuary]

can you do it just this once the only crow one

[sturdy summit]

I'd rather punch my brother than give him 5 dollars

[somber estuary]

it is not even 5 dollars

[astral mortar]

No lmao I’m in the army I barely get paid

[sturdy summit]

Foxy jumpscare type shit

yikes.

[astral mortar]

Minimum wage to defend Australia booyah

Pay so bad I have to take up odd jobs during holidays to remain stable

🦀

[sturdy summit]

Ohh Australian makes sense

Hi fellow Australian

[astral mortar]

We are struggling

[sturdy summit]

Fr man

[astral mortar]

G’day mate

[sturdy summit]

I probably get more on centerlink than what y'all get 😭

[astral mortar]

I’ve considered just quitting and living in car for a solid few years

[sturdy summit]

Do it. Become the sniper from tf2.

I wanna do it so the tax payers can't catch me

[astral mortar]

Base pay for a private in the Australian army is something like 87k a year which is liveable but a lot of that gets taken away by services that aren’t food or vital in any way

[sturdy summit]

Tax payers. Mm yes the average person.

[sturdy summit]

ew yeah the military ain't particularly good w paying their people

Considered going to the airforce, but then my legs decided to die so

[astral mortar]

Honestly if I throw away all forms of identification, shave myself bald and live in the outback what are they going to do if I don’t pay my taxes have fun finding me I’m in the middle of nowhere

[sturdy summit]

At least they can't draft me 😭

[somber estuary]

eh i decided

rdr 2 will probably be not for me as i don't like story games a lot

i did play a few of them tho and like them, just not absolutely

[astral mortar]

Way things are going I wouldn’t be surprised if we start drafting all able bodied men again. There’s already been talks among the guys of stricter policies within the military

[somber estuary]

honestly i am panicking i would make the wrong decision

[sturdy summit]

Honestly I don't think the taxation office gaf, my dad has been doing that since before my ass was alive

[somber estuary]

do the doom 1+2 wads suck.

[sturdy summit]

You can just... add more

[somber estuary]

are they too boring?

i cant have more

[sturdy summit]

Also, if you don't like it, you can refund it if you have under 2 hours

[somber estuary]

that is all the allowance i have

[sturdy summit]

Wads are free, they're mods

[somber estuary]

NO thats not what i meant

i meant comparing the wads to rdr 2 in terms of quality only

[astral mortar]

I don’t have to worry about taxes because I donate most of my income which I don’t need and I sleep in my car when I’m not on base

I owe jack shit to the government

[sturdy summit]

And I'm a child the government only knows of my mental illnesses so I can't get a gun.

[astral mortar]

I somehow managed to get a license for a hunting rifle

[sturdy summit]

LET ME HAVE A GUN AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT PLEASE I WONT BE SCHIZO WITH IT

In other news, the American dollar is going down, so the aud dollar compared to that is going up

No longer will our coin be worth less than corn

[astral mortar]

You can get a junior gun license at 12 in Australia which I find wild

[sturdy summit]

HUH

[astral mortar]

This is incredible, our government will definitely not exploit this within the housing market to fuck over young adult first home buyers even more!

2 bedroom for 1 mil? Psssh that’s fine

[sturdy summit]

I live in fuckknows and the rent is still 600 a week it's balls

[astral mortar]

My parents pay 700 a month for a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom

No idea how

[astral mortar]

That is foul

Rotten. The stench emanating is repugnant

[sturdy summit]

It's for a shitty studio apartment too 😭

[astral mortar]

I’m paying 100$ a week to live in my car

Don’t recommend it tho the back pain is horrific

Old Toyota Ute seats 🔥

[cunning depot]

yall got a mansion or something

must be living in venezuela where 10 usd makes you a millionaire

[astral mortar]

That is incredibly low for a 5 bedroom 2 bathroom with a 1,000 metre backyard and a driveway with a garage

[cunning depot]

must be haunted

[astral mortar]

700 a month while others pay 800 a week

[cunning depot]

did you check if you have a third arm or something

[astral mortar]

No third arm but I do have a unicorn horn

[sturdy summit]

IM.

IM THROWING SOMEONE.

[astral mortar]

What happened

[sturdy summit]

Warframe.

[astral mortar]

Small reaction for war frame ngl

[sturdy summit]

No but

I struggle on hijack missions right

[astral mortar]

I’d permanently alter the climate of the planet over that game

[sturdy summit]

Because genuinely who the FUCK decided that payload was a good idea for a potentially single player game

I WAS RIGHT THERE

LITERALLY A INCH AWAY FROM THE END OF THE MISSION

[astral mortar]

GTA vice city moment

This happens to me in vice city way too often

[cunning depot]

guys, it seems like a gpu issue somehow

[sturdy summit]

Oh.

[astral mortar]

What’s up

[sturdy summit]

Oh no.

[astral mortar]

What’s happening

[cunning depot]

saw a reddit thread, and the oc mentioned that replacing thr gpu worked

had my exact same gpu too

the rx 580

BUUT

i have other gpus, lemme see if it is a gpu problem

[astral mortar]

That might be the issue, you’re using a 580. How is it even running

[cunning depot]

RX

AMD gpu, not nvidia

its as good as a 1650 iirc, something like that

[astral mortar]

Oh

[cunning depot]

time to see if the ZOTAC 210 Synergy Edition with 1gb of ram and GDDR3 memory has the same issue

with a TDP of a whopping 37 watts, the heatsink doesnt even have a fan

[astral mortar]

@somber estuary have you decided on a game

Gonna start Quake Ep 4 soon, hearing it's the worst and hardest

Ep 1 was a great starter, Ep 2 lesser but still good, Ep 3 was really good but it would be excellent if it weren't for Chambers of Torment (all my opinion btw)

[glad rock]

Doom just crashed in the middle of a master level 💔

[queen gulch]

stuff happens

[astral mortar]

dang

[cunning depot]

its working™️ with the zotac 210

now to see if it stays up

[glad rock]

Yup lol

Oh well it was on im too young to die anyways

[tardy arrow]

If it stays up, then you know it's the GPU.

[cunning depot]

yeh

I'm even gonna install it's drivers

[tardy arrow]

Use DDU to remove any existing drivers.

[cunning depot]

whats ddu

[tardy arrow]

Display Driver Uninstaller.

Never remove GPU drivers without using DDU.

AMD drivers are not compatibile with NVIDIA drivers. You will need to remove AMD drivers before you install the NVIDIA ones.

[cunning depot]

fuck good point

so is ddu an app or a pre installed windows thing

[sturdy summit]

Nyx I'm gonna throw someone

[tardy arrow]

Program you'll have to download.

[cunning depot]

me me, out of the window please

[tardy arrow]

Same. Little sister has the situational awarenss of a fucking spoon and it's kinda irritating.

[cunning depot]

yoo same

[sturdy summit]

God damn

Throw a spoon at her.

[tardy arrow]

Tried to explain to her that her just calling out "evil!" doesn't help, because a bunch of enemies we can basically ignore by crouchwalking, and it helps to know what the enemy is rather than just saying there is one.

[sturdy summit]

God that would give me a headache

I do not miss living with people.

[cunning depot]

your sister : EVIL!
you : WHERE??
your sister : IN THE DIRECTION OF EVIL!

[tardy arrow]

Kinda.

"What type of evil?" "Evil!"

she's kind of an idiot.

[cunning depot]

well im gonna get a 1650 or something, these are like 60-70 bucks

[sturdy summit]

Dawg that reminds me of my little sister/niece

[cunning depot]

ill see if my mom can somehow get more

[sturdy summit]

"TURN AROUND" no

[cunning depot]

its kinda like how my classmate taps your shoulder on the side he isnt on, kinda

making you second guess yourself

[sturdy summit]

I play games by myself for various reasons 😭

[cunning depot]

but yes its a gpu issue

the zotac been up for like 20 minutes, which im pretty sure the 580 wasnt

never been so glad i have a ddr3 1gb gpu lying around

[sturdy summit]

1, can't talk well
2, slurs beyond human comprehension.
3, anger.
4, loric.

[cunning depot]

mine are the first reason

second is if im really comfortable swearing near the other person in voice

[sturdy summit]

I won't say slurs I can't say, but fuck does my Australian blood really show when I'm stressed out in a game

"GET OVER HERE YOU FAT FUCKING BITCH" is a common one

[tardy arrow]

same, though.

Trying to turn the Iowa to not hit torpedoes, "Turn you stupid piece of shit boat."

[feral wolf]

Has anyone played Metal Hellsinger?

[tardy arrow]

Very good game.

[sturdy summit]

If I hurt your feelings please tell me though I genuinely can't tell when I do until someone's crying

[cunning depot]

you when fat maykr :

[feral wolf]

I've never played it but it looks dope and the music goes hard. I'm reading that Andrew Hulshult was somehow involved.

[sturdy summit]

Genuinely the chonkyr pisses me off so bad.

HOW IS A MACHINE OBESE PLEASE TELL ME

[cunning depot]

THE CHONKYR 😭

[somber estuary]

I already bought doom 1/2

I made my mind

[cunning depot]

yay

[sturdy summit]

Neat, good job

[feral wolf]

He's not fat, she's big boned.

[cunning depot]

good job

[sturdy summit]

I'm.

[tardy arrow]

It's a rhythm game at its core, so it depends if you like rhythm games. The soundtrack is incredible, so many different bands acame together to make a fantastic soundtrack.

[sturdy summit]

I'm gonna nuke Canada.

[somber estuary]

And I am getting hopefully the half life portal and l4d series + slay the spire

[feral wolf]

Yeah, like BPM.

[sturdy summit]

Get hollow knight or cult of the lamb.

[cunning depot]

HALF LIFE... mmm

[sturdy summit]

Australian games oo go buy Australian games

[cunning depot]

i recommend, yoy will understand the hype behind hl3

[tardy arrow]

LAmb of God, Refused, SOAD, Soilwork, Dark Tranquility, Arch Enemy, Jinjer, Black Crown Initiate, Lorna Shore, LAcuna Coil, Muse, Paramore, DVBBS, Galantis, Gorillaz, Icona Pop, Depeche Mode, Ad Infinitum, Trivium, and Fit for an Autopsy.

Plus it has a DLC to add 8 DUSK tracks, too.

The game has a single song that fucking sucks but the rest of it is fantastic.

[feral wolf]

Yeah, it says it was made in conjunction with Dusk.

[tardy arrow]

The DLC was. The game overall was not.

[feral wolf]

I heard the death metal song, but there's probably not just one death metal track.

[tardy arrow]

Stygia will forever by my favourite, because Alissa is my favourite metal vocalist lmao.

Arch Enemy is fantastic and people need to buy their albums.

Also highkey this might be worth deleting because of the pretty rough flashing.

That could trigger someones epilepsy and you don't want that.

[feral wolf]

Burial at Night - Two Feathers

[tardy arrow]

There's only like, one track I'd try and find a way to remove from the game so I'd never have to hear it, and replace it with something else.

[sturdy summit]

Serj is in it so it's a good game

ALSO, HAPPY SERJ SUNDAY

[tardy arrow]

Alissa White-cruz automatically makes a game good.

[astral mortar]

I was just testing my doom clone...

I found the most hilarious bug in any doom-clone I ever played lmao

[feral wolf]

What clone?

[astral mortar]

The one I'm making

I dunno how I did it, but I caused a bug in my code...

If you beat my campaign with the chaingun unlocked, you get sent back to the main menu (the chaingun should be disabled), and if you equip the chaingun on a new campaign afterwards (let's call it New Game+)... you should be empty-handed. But I discovered that the game acts as if the chaingun is still there on new game+, but without ammo.

So on new game+ you suddenly get an invisible silent minigun with infinite ammo. lol

[tardy arrow]

oop.

Minor bug but it's fine, it's a feature.

[astral mortar]

I usually try to remove all bugs but a part of me wants to keep this in lol

[feral wolf]

Hmm, sounds good.

[astral mortar]

Basically a reward of 'yo you beat the campaign, now beat Nightmare with an invisible infinite minigun and enjoy thyself'

You basically just get telekinesis

[feral wolf]

After all, who doesn't want to run around a shopping mall with an invisible silent mini gun.

[astral mortar]

Perfect for my slaughtermap lol

I wanted to make my Nightmare unbeatable like in classic doom (at least it was meant to be unbeatable, now it's required for Unity 100%), but I couldn't handle it being unbeatable for me so I removed the 'respawning enemies' feature there. Tho I still have it in the code, if I ever add an archvile to this game I'll make use of it

[weak trail]

Can someone help me with the battlemode achievements

[noble orchid]

i should be doing those too

[sour ether]

i don't think its Australian blood this is American blood

[tardy arrow]

Eternal channel is probably a better place to ask, more people for the game there.

[noble orchid]

sigh

[sour ether]

or at least yuki blood

[sour ether]

especially if your playing fortnite, that game is extremely rage inducing

[sturdy summit]

Also reminder to everyone who doesn't like Samuel's design, we could've had this as the main villain 😭

[feral wolf]

Looks like Manny from Grim Fandango.

[tardy arrow]

Look I'm sure they do fantastic concept art, but I literally cannot take that seriously whatsoever.

[sturdy summit]

Hi guys :D

Looking ass

[feral wolf]

Or Scudd the Disposable Assassin.

[tardy arrow]

I'm putting it in the woodchipper where it belongs and deserves to be.

[sour ether]

this looks like the human embodiment of microsoft sam

that's all i can say

[sturdy summit]

Emerson Tung is genuinely a great artist but whew

He looks like he uses emoticons.

[sour ether]

its good art it's just the character 😭

i can see his face just being a 😁 emoji when hes happy

[sturdy summit]

(；゜∀゜)
-Ipad hayden when doomguy is being a angry little shit probably

[sour ether]

also this design looks like something id fear if i was 5 years old

[sturdy summit]

Running down the tunnel w ipad hayden chasing you💀

[astral mortar]

that's the least intimidating morally ambiguous bot I've ever seen

[sturdy summit]

"Hallo :D I stole your kidneys !! For science !!"

[astral mortar]

Even if current samuel would say that in a deadpan voice I'd laugh

[solar junco]

I like to think the doom soundtrack is just doom guys personal playlist playing in his helmet

[astral mortar]

seems like it

And Quake soundtrack is what Ranger actually hears constantly. Like, that's stuff is tense

[solar junco]

Yeah

[sour ether]

i can just see my younger self crying to my dad about it

"DADDY A IPAD IS CHASING ME!!!"

[sturdy summit]

Real.

Nightmares are fucking weird

[sour ether]

thinking about it now doom slayer would probably be very deaf by now from the constant gunshots

unless his helmet blocks most sounds out

but even then he would hear anything unless his helmet just blocks loud sounds like gunshots

[tardy arrow]

The full helmet probably provides a little bit of muffling, but I imagine there's probably some proper ear protection.

Otherwise he's deaf as shit.

[sturdy summit]

Hm

Well okay lemme uh

the bottom is exposed

How can this man stand out in space

[tardy arrow]

It's deifnitely not a sealed suit.

Maybe id doesn't know how space works..

[astral mortar]

Most writers barely care about how space work

Rule of cool goes first 🤘

[sturdy summit]

Nuh uh it's magical.

Magical girl doomguy....

[tidal basalt]

Bruh I literally can't pick up my controller without wanting to cry 😦

Idk why broskie

[warm gull]

Hello peoples

[subtle rover]

Cool

[sturdy summit]

I should draw that.

MAGICAL GIRL SAILOR PHOBOS ✨️ or smthn idk

Gonna give him all the bows.

[trim relic]

Just bought hitman woa, I have no idea what im doing. Managed to get into a shoot out with 30 guards but killed the target too. Am I winning?

[tardy arrow]

Victory is victory.

[sharp bear]

Who wants to play Battlefield 2042?

[sturdy summit]

Chat what colour do we make doomguy but magical girl

I'd say orange but I think Venus has it, Mars is red and uh

Hm.

It's been a while since I watched sailor moon.

[tardy arrow]

Bright fluro pink.

So bright you see the fucker from orbit and go "goddamnit, they're running around again."

[sturdy summit]

No but lowkey that works

Mars is associated w warm tones so neon pink isn't too weird

[verbal gale]

yo

is "enter the gungeon" a good game?

its in deep discounts this sale

[tardy arrow]

Yes.

It's a fun lil bullet hell.

[verbal gale]

im also thinking of buying cyberpunk since its at an all time low here

wondering if I should get the DLC aswell

its between cyberpunk and rdr2, what would u recommend?

[slate sail]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-chat-doomguy-hello-chat-unicorn-doom-guy-hello-chat-doom-slayer-doom-guy-walking-brandon-barmby-gif-14387289930759898858

[tardy arrow]

If I had to pick, Cyberpunk.

It's improved quite a bit since it's fucking horrendous, unplayable insult of a launch.

[sturdy summit]

I'm drawing him and she's lowkey cute [oo gender gets spooky w the sailor moon universe, it's canon its weird]

Ew. A meme.

[thick flare]

morning thomas

or afternoon/evening

[sturdy summit]

Wait nvm she's just a lesbian

[sturdy summit]

Morning dinua

[carmine gust]

This ain’t the place for shit posting. Mind the server etiquette

[thick flare]

i tell myself i'm gonna draw n then i proceed to play doom mods for the next three hours

better than playing osu tho! that shit wrecks havoc on my wrists 😔😔😔

[sturdy summit]

Real, I've been grinding on warframe, all the while the doom comic I'm working on is sitting neglected in my computer

[thick flare]

🤝

and that's not to mention how i promised a friend that i'd finish bioshock but then i never get to it

[sturdy summit]

Even now I'm drawing magical girl doomguy 💀

[thick flare]

poggers...

i need to draw beefy men in dresses more
i have a wip of titus from the wh40k space marine games in a dress n stopped making progress like a year ago.....

[sturdy summit]

Awh man

Finish it.

[fast chasm]

rdr2

[verbal gale]

@tardy arrow is it worth getting the DLC too? it costs same as the base game lmao

[fast chasm]

it was only unplayable on console.. pc ran fine since launch

[tardy arrow]

Idk, I never played the DLC. I refunded after the dogshit launch.

Also just didn't have interest in the game anymore as a whole, moved on to other titles.

[sturdy summit]

If you want a good game, get fo4.

[fast chasm]

probably shouldnt have bought last gens version

[tardy arrow]

Baldur's Gate 3.

[sturdy summit]

Fo4 is cheaper and easier to get into.

[verbal gale]

people complain about it being slow

[tardy arrow]

Honestly, both are way better regardless tbh.

[verbal gale]

i dont like slow

[tardy arrow]

CDPR cannot release a competent title without waiting an extra year and a half to fix their dogshit.

[sturdy summit]

Rdr2 is.... a story game, of course it's slow

[verbal gale]

but I think now the game has been fixed? plus they say dlc is good too

[fast chasm]

do what u want then, u asked which should i get

[jovial fjord]

Hi

[tardy arrow]

The game's been fixed, it just took them nearly two years to pull their finger out and actually develop properly.

[verbal gale]

yeah i dont like those type of games, I like action type where I have more control

[sturdy summit]

Nyx you can make transwomen in cyberpunk

[tardy arrow]

I can do that in Baldur's Gate, too.

[fast chasm]

the only thing broken with cyberpunk was the ps4/xbox one releases

[sturdy summit]

It does have that, the start is just slow

[fast chasm]

baldurs gate is a boring dogshit of a game

[sturdy summit]

Do not.

[tardy arrow]

I'm not rebuying that game, ever. Burned me once with the literal worst launch of all time, won't give money to that shitty company again.

[verbal gale]

i wouldve bought it if it was at an all time low

[fast chasm]

if you love slow games, get baldurs gate 3

[sturdy summit]

The game is expensive, as is any AAA game

[verbal gale]

im just looking for my first AAA title

[tardy arrow]

Fair. The only time Cyberpunk is ever worth picking up is on a massive sale.

It's never really been worth full price.

[verbal gale]

last open world game I liked was GTA vice city (open world by those standards)💀

[sturdy summit]

I suggest fo4, it is a bit easier to get into than baldur's gate is

[tardy arrow]

The fact it took until basically the DLC launch to make the game run properly on PC without constant game-breaking bugs is disgusting, and pathetic.

[fast chasm]

way more fun too

[tardy arrow]

Also that, FO4 is far better to get into for an open world shooter.

[sturdy summit]

Especially if you haven't played a tabletop game before, it's not for the average gamer

You actually kinda need background knowledge on tabletop rpgs to fully enjoy and engage in BG3

[verbal gale]

fo4 is pretty cheap?? but i have never played a fallout game

[tardy arrow]

4's pretty easy to get into, probably the easiest tbh.

[verbal gale]

i dont wanna get hooked to buy the entire series tbh

[tardy arrow]

Very lacking in the RPG department, most of what you have to worry about is damage number, and armor stats.

[thick flare]

i can't believe undertale's less than a dollar

[sturdy summit]

WHAT

[fast chasm]

you wont

[sturdy summit]

[verbal gale]

im not that big of a gamer these days, studying is mostly what I have to do

[tardy arrow]

Honestly, for Fallout, you can literally stay with 3 and 4 and be completely fine.

[sturdy summit]

You don't know that. Fallout is a great series

I love fo2 sm

[thick flare]

$0.99 on steam rn o7

[tardy arrow]

The originals can be incredibly wonky to get to run, though certainly doable.

[thick flare]

picked that up along w system shock's remake

[tardy arrow]

But they're significantly more RPG-heavy compared to 4.

[verbal gale]

i think i should just buy elden ring lmao

[fast chasm]

u can literally spend 100s of hours in fallout 4.. even if he is hooked, the other ones are harder to get into because of how old they are now

and if he wants to play them, who cares

[sturdy summit]

Not really 💀

[thick flare]

bought quake live too mainly to finally say that i now own every quake game (minus the delisted quake wars :[)

[sturdy summit]

I fucking love playing fo2

[tardy arrow]

Elden Ring is fine, I personally wouldn't but I'm also not into that entire genre.

[fast chasm]

sorry my opinion differs from yours 🤷‍♂️

[sullen yarrow]

Buy it physically

[fast chasm]

im still not wrong

[sullen yarrow]

Also do you have QAA

[verbal gale]

im a soulslike fan so

[thick flare]

Fuck

[tardy arrow]

Fair. If you like them, go for it.

[sullen yarrow]

So true

[verbal gale]

but im like used to getting old aaa games and indie titles so these prices seem so absurd to me

[tardy arrow]

Modern game prices have skyrocketed because of inflation.

And it'll only continue to worsen the longer we live.

Soon, standard editions will be a minimum of $150.

[fast chasm]

doubt it

[astral mortar]

Holy shit.

I just beat Quake's Pain Maze without save-scumming.

[tardy arrow]

Hell yeah.

[verbal gale]

what a time to be in

fucking hell

[tardy arrow]

World's a shithole and only getting worse.

[astral mortar]

I did save a lot of times during the level but I never had to reload a mid-level save, I could beat it from start to finish without reloading in between. Sandy, what the fuck were you doing...

[tardy arrow]

Finally, a good fucking franchise.

[astral mortar]

It was not a bad level but it was TENSE. Also those spawns are obnoxious.

I expected Episode 4 to be the worst... well, two levels levels. We'll see.

[verbal gale]

this rpg game is getting so bad recently with the updates

[thick flare]

quake 3 bitterman my beloved :]

[tardy arrow]

I wish they'd stop updating honestly, it's getting incredibly tiring.

[fast chasm]

thats ironic

[tardy arrow]

Though, a buff to trans people would be very beneficial.

[astral mortar]

Ngl I get more NuDoom vibes from Quake than Classic Doom (I like NuDoom a lot). But I'm digging Quake so far, it's really good

Nine Inch Nails knows what sound design is. And the atmosphere is impeccable

[tardy arrow]

Quake was a lot more fast-paced compared to doom back in the day, that's 100% where that's coming from.

Classic doom was never fast, people just like to pretend it is.

[fast chasm]

sounds like a skill issue tbh

[astral mortar]

Once I slowed down playing classic doom (I felt like I had to play aggressively because of other people), I got much better

Whereas slowing down in NuDoom is a death sentence

[tardy arrow]

Franchise was never the same without Reznor. Though, Hulshults a good replacement.

[calm mulch]

Doom’s movement speed is incredibly fast lol, quake’s monsters take longer to kill

[astral mortar]

Oh yeah Quake's monsters are tankers

[calm mulch]

Doom is faster in specific ways

[tardy arrow]

Nudoom, sure.

[calm mulch]

No?

[tardy arrow]

Classic is not the same fast as the slop that is eternal, though.

[calm mulch]

If you don’t think classic doom has fast movement speed then you’re on something

[tardy arrow]

Like sure, you can sprint, but it isn't very quick at all.

[calm mulch]

Yes it is?????

[fast chasm]

this nyx person has strong opinions, best to just let them vent

[calm mulch]

You run faster than every projectile in the game

[astral mortar]

Eternal is actually my fav but I appreciate Classic Doom, too. I beat Master Levels on DOOM 2 recently, lots of people hate it but I thought it was very fine

[calm mulch]

It’s much faster than 2016 and eternal in terms of pure movement speed

[tardy arrow]

Probably. Still, a massive loss losing Reznor. Sound design became generic modern slop til' Hulshult.

[calm mulch]

Eternal and 2016 have more actions per second

[fast chasm]

diarrhea of the mouth

[tardy arrow]

The only real issue I ever had with master levels was they don't flow together at all. They're so incredibly haphazard in how they're turned into a "campaign".

[astral mortar]

Ngl I expected the first few levels of episode 4 of quake to be worse, considering my less-than-stellar time playing Sandy's levels

[tardy arrow]

Quake escalates quite a lot, to the point a lot of the maps are fucking torture to get through if you're not careful with pickups.

[astral mortar]

Yeah they were all individual levels meant for pistol start, violently sewn together into a package, with greatly varied quality. No teams, no two brothers being chads, just couple of folks independent programming

[tardy arrow]

I honestly have no idea why they tried to turn them into a "campaign", considering how fucking massively disconnected they were.

[astral mortar]

Quake gave me a lot of 'OH SHIT I NEED TO THINK FAST' moments

[tardy arrow]

It certainly worked to keep things in a single item, but still.

I think a level selector would've worked far better but oh well, I suppose.

[fast chasm]

probably because the master levels werent designed as a campaign and were designed by various modders who wanted more challenge

[astral mortar]

I'm playing on Normal btw since that's ostensibly the recommended first-playthrough difficulty from what I research

[tardy arrow]

Genuinely. Going through Quake after nearly two decades was unbelievably rough.

[calm mulch]

Quake is pretty easy all around

[tardy arrow]

Playing things with far more fleshed out gunplay kinda fucked me over.

[calm mulch]

Only episode 4 gets dicey

With some mean ass traps

[queen gulch]

can yall recommend any mods for eternal?

[astral mortar]

I beat most levels without any save-scumming (Episode 3 done without save-scumming, episode 4 only did it for one level with one single ave)

[tardy arrow]

First time I played, I was about 7 or 8 and it didn't go very well back then lmfao.

[astral mortar]

But if I ever play on Nightmare for some reason... Ima pull out the mid-game saves. Because Nightmare is infamous, heck, the game discourages you from picking it

[fast chasm]

https://www.nexusmods.com/doometernal/mods/1

[calm mulch]

The thing about quake is there are less enemies than doom 2 so it’s a bit easier to not get caught in projectile hell

[tardy arrow]

Oh, 100% midgame saves are the way to go for high difficulty Quake.

[queen gulch]

thank

[tardy arrow]

#doom-eternal

[astral mortar]

I played Quake first time when I was ten years old, first episode was re-released as a flash game back then. I found it kinda creepy but very funky, tho I was really not good at all lol

[verbal gale]

uhm hey guys, which game would u guys prefer for a good detailed open world experience if u would have to? I have not played open world since ages and miss a good GTA type vibe (no I dont want GTA V)

[tardy arrow]

Probably Saints Row; plays basically the same as GTA, has far more character to it.

[verbal gale]

the driving would make me go nuts

[astral mortar]

I wanted to save-scum the final level of Episode 3 since the ending was annoying as all hell, but I ended up brute-forcing it out of pride. Overall, episode 3 was extremely solid outside of Chambers of Torment.

[fast chasm]

gta 4 driving>>>> gta 5 imo

[tardy arrow]

3 and 4 are fine, reboots okay, 2 is probably the best but either requires a mod to run on modern systems, or a lot of janky workarounds.

[calm mulch]

Red Dead 2 is really good but it’s also really slow so you should only play it if you’re okay with that

[verbal gale]

I dont lol

if it is then i will buy it

[astral mortar]

I only ever tried Saints Row 2 and 3. I remember enjoying playing them a lot

[fast chasm]

stop asking for suggestions if you are just going to shoot them all down.. we dont kno what u like, base your choice on that

[tardy arrow]

I played the fuck out of Saints Row 2 and 3, and a little 4. 4 runs like shit on modern systems, constant crashes.

[verbal gale]

bruh im not shooting them down, just trying to see how the critique is handled

[fast chasm]

saint rows 2/3/4 are dogshit games

[tardy arrow]

When it runs, it's a fun game.

[calm mulch]

I strongly dislike most open world games, gta doesn’t generally grab me

[fast chasm]

saints row 4 has to be the worst game of all time

[verbal gale]

its fun messing around tbh

[tardy arrow]

But it has a lot of constant crashing issues that either need to be fixed via modding or getting lucky.

[calm mulch]

There are a few open world games I really love but there aren’t a ton

[astral mortar]

I would have a thic goth girl as character, yeet thin goths with bare hands, listening to Marilyn Manson in the car (this was before the allegations came, gosh that guy...). Saints Row 2 was so funky, did not mess around

Also love it when a personally customized character has voice lines

[verbal gale]

I absolutely love the graphics but I have seen some people complain about repetitiveness and boring side quests, is that a problem?

[fast chasm]

i would say saints row 1 and 2 were good, then it just because a garbage series

[tardy arrow]

Outside of a GTA-esque open world, No Man's Sky is very good, Borderlands if you want open world constant-shooting and a whole lotta loot, Enshrouded if you prefer more survival-esque gameplay.

[fast chasm]

i also like to base my opinion on what other ppl say

[calm mulch]

Batman Arkham Knight is a good open world game

[fast chasm]

no mans sky has to be the most boring dogshit of a game ive ever played

[astral mortar]

I base my impression on what other people say, but if I'm curious enough, other people's takes just mean nothing to me and Ima try it

[verbal gale]

duh? if i dont know shit about the game im going to listen about others who played it??

[tardy arrow]

RDR2 is incredibly slow compared to GTA.

[barren ledge]

do we know if TDA is open world yet?

[verbal gale]

its not

[fast chasm]

have fun never playing new games then, since theres haters everywhere

[tardy arrow]

GTA is a very fast game, RDR2 is significantly slower with a lot more emphasis on slowly getting around the world.

[barren ledge]

bummer

[verbal gale]

oh too bad u are forced to follow the script tbh

[fast chasm]

the gunplay and story in rdr2 is way better than gta 5

[calm mulch]

Elden Ring. Uhhh, Spider-Man? Those are all the open world games I like

[tough ermine]

[astral mortar]

I'm not into Open World, but Elden Ring is pretty good imo

[verbal gale]

i like to mess around the game a lot

[astral mortar]

And thank god Dark Ages isn't open world. Imo it doesn't suit it

[calm mulch]

RDR2 has one of the best open worlds and stories in a game, it’s very good but I don’t think it’s for everyone

[tardy arrow]

Technically not open world, but Warframe does have some pretty large open world areas, downside is the grind.

[calm mulch]

It’s not fast paced even remotely

[faint ivy]

you sound like you're being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian

[verbal gale]

when I used to play vice city, I used to mess around so much. Gosh it was a fun time

[fast chasm]

so sort of like nyx? 😄

[tough ermine]

why are your opinions bad then?

[tardy arrow]

Dead Rising is a pretty decent open-world, just run around killing zombies with a vague story going on.

[faint ivy]

Nah, sort of like you.

[tardy arrow]

Dead Island as well is pretty alright, though I didn't pay much attention to it personally.

[verbal gale]

just driving in game gives so much peace tbh

[fast chasm]

oh no mods are bullying me, what will i ever do

[tardy arrow]

Same. 4 I can't stand, 5 is garbage, but SA will live in my heart forever.

[tough ermine]

cool it

[calm mulch]

🙄 come on dude lmao

[verbal gale]

the og vice city lives in my heart, even that helicopter mission lmao

[fast chasm]

so other people can call my opinions dogshit, but as soon as i do it back for 5mins, im the problem, got it

If you're here to just talk shit, just say so - that'll make our work easier

[tardy arrow]

I almost miss Vice City, I might have to dig out my copy from somewhere and try to make it run.

Sure as shit ain't buying rockstars shitty "remaster".

[astral mortar]

I actually got Vice City old version on steam, still

And I got Vice City on PS2. Double me.

[verbal gale]

same thing, I aint paying for that old of a game at this point

[calm mulch]

Didn’t they “improve” them lol

[astral mortar]

"Improve"

[calm mulch]

Air quotes

[fast chasm]

i came here to talk, but everytime i say something i like nyx likes to says its dogshit

[tardy arrow]

It's genuinely insulting that they re-released a mobile port and claimed to "improve them", so the entire community went hunting through every problem and they're so much worse.

[verbal gale]

bruh, everyone is entitled to a reasonable opinion whats ur problem?

[fast chasm]

except me ofc

[tardy arrow]

SA remastered added ""improved LODs"" which made the game run worse and weren't actually improved.

[old solar]

fuck is this guy smoking

[verbal gale]

ur opinion is not backed and "reasonable" at all

[tardy arrow]

They just removed the fog.

[astral mortar]

Like... I felt something was off when I bought San Andreas X360. I did not know that it was literally a MOBILE port, re-ported to a more modern console.

What the fuck.

[calm mulch]

See my opinions are dog shit but I’m also right about everything

[faint ivy]

chill your victim complex man it's not doing shit for your cause

[fast chasm]

thats ironic

[tardy arrow]

Oh yeah, they just took the mobile ports, re-ported them back to console / PC, then marketted it as a new product.

[verbal gale]

hows cyberpunk, in terms of like messing around and driving?

[tardy arrow]

They recently did the same with 5, added anti-cheat and said "it's a new game!".

[astral mortar]

that's shitty ngl
If I ever buy San Andreas again (if I want to of course), I'll ensure it's either the PS2 or Xbox port (tho I hear the PS4 version emulates PS2 ver directly)

[tardy arrow]

Back before I refunded, and when it worked, the driving is pretty solid, and in general messing around is alright.

[fast chasm]

search "dogshit from: nyxnyxowo"

[verbal gale]

if gta 6 isnt a masterpiece Im gonna never buy another rockstar

[old solar]

Cyberpunk 2077's driving is good ngl

[tardy arrow]

You can essentially just slaughter everyone around, but cops will literally spawn in out of nowhere to fight you.

[astral mortar]

Wait it is even still available, the PS2 emulation on PS4? Oh oh

[tardy arrow]

I'm not interested in 6 until it's on PC.

[sturdy summit]

Yes it's almost as if that's a common term here in Australia.

[verbal gale]

hows the fighting and gun mechanics?

[tardy arrow]

Decent enough.

[fast chasm]

yeah but if i use it, i get bullied and threatened 😄

[tardy arrow]

A few guns are pretty shit, but honestly, every game has that problem.

[verbal gale]

yo really? hows the story and all then?

[sturdy summit]

Also man I'm so proud of this fuckass drawing

[tardy arrow]

Certainly takes some getting used to, the gunplay isn't fantastic, but for what the game is, it's good enough.

[astral mortar]

oh shit PS2-ver of San Andreas also removed from PS4/5 store. welp if I ever buy it again I'ma just get the PS2/Xbox version on disc

[verbal gale]

hows the mod support with it? i heard it has several mods

[old solar]

the story is really good. you can make your own build n stuff, plus Keanu

[tardy arrow]

Pretty solid, there's a lot of mods available on Nexus.

[verbal gale]

would u say its worth getting the DLC too?

[tardy arrow]

Almost 15,000 mods in various different categories, so you've got a lot to play with modding wise.

[old solar]

never played the dlc ngl

[verbal gale]

okay, thanks for the info I really appreciate that

[tardy arrow]

[verbal gale]

oh thats good, it means there would be a lot of playtime incoming

[calm mulch]

Genius move on their part

[verbal gale]

oh no problem, I just heard people saying its a great spy story

[calm mulch]

Greedy but genius

[tardy arrow]

Not even surprised honestly, Rockstar is a scumbag company.

[faint ivy]

Agreed

Fuck rockstar

[tough ermine]

im never playing another one of their games

[astral mortar]

At that point I'll just scour the internet for used PS2/Xbox discs

[tardy arrow]

Pretty fucking sure the originals are on myabandonware because of their shit, though I'd have to double-check that.

Nevermind, they're not, pain.

[calm mulch]

RIP

[old solar]

but the secret ending in the main game is still hard asf lol

[calm mulch]

Probably got taken down by take2

[tardy arrow]

Links to the steam store which is the dogshit mobile re-port.

[astral mortar]

Yeah for some reason I have never been into emulation or pc gaming so I just have a lot of original consoles because... well I used to collect them since I was into retro gaming

[verbal gale]

i like cdprojecktred, even thought the release of cyberpunk was a shitshow they managed to fix the game

[sturdy summit]

Y'all should play team fortress 2.

[verbal gale]

oh didnt know there are multiple endings lmao, im excited now

[tardy arrow]

See, I'll give them props for actually fixing the game, but I can't believe they decided it was acceptable to launch the game in the state it was in.

[fast chasm]

it was rly only a shitshow on ps4/xbox one, i never had any issues since launch

[calm mulch]

Played 800 hours it was enough for me

[stark wave]

I've always wondered why they marketed it as a new game instead of just an update

[calm mulch]

I think games that aren’t doom won’t ever reach over 1000 hours for me

[verbal gale]

even I would be disappointed to see that bad of a condition after waiting for so many years

[sturdy summit]

Hrr I should redraw something grrr

[tardy arrow]

Within a month, tens of thousands of videos and articles documenting how many bugs, glitches, and total breaks the game had, plus the games hilariously bad enemy spawning system.

[fast chasm]

on ps4/xbox one

[old solar]

in the main game of Cyberpunk 2077, there are a total of 5 endings

[tardy arrow]

It needed another two years before it released, because it's 1.0 state should've been release; instead, they pushed out a broken beta and charged $70.

[calm mulch]

I tried Cyberpunk but realized it was similar to Bethesda’s open world RPGs and was like “wait, I don’t like this kind of game” lmao

[stark wave]

like all they added was just raytracing, anti-cheat, and I think also added a subscription service (tho idk if GTA+ was there before)

[calm mulch]

Just not my cup of tea, if ya like it, that’s cool tho

[verbal gale]

probably cuz of pressure they released it, because they already delayed the game so many times

[tardy arrow]

It really is just a bethesda RPG masquerading as a Cyberpunk game. Tabletop cyberpunk is still so much better.

[faint ivy]

CDPR ain't got another No Man's Sky with CP2077, they got a fuckton of resources and they chose to half-ass the game at launch, many of the promised features like public transit and quest consequences simply weren't there

[tardy arrow]

I'm convinced CDPR investors told them "Release the game." despite CDPR saying "It'll release when it's ready".

[calm mulch]

Wasn’t it a combination of factors, mainly a failure of upper management?

[faint ivy]

CP2077 as it is, is what CP2077 should have been from the very beginning

[calm mulch]

I mean it’s never really the little guys’ faults is it

[fast chasm]

nope

[tardy arrow]

I knew someone that was adamant on "They should release it when it's ready!" then quickly turned to "They should release it immediately."

and then we got literal fucking garbage for a launch state.

[faint ivy]

Yea that's what I'm saying

[stark wave]

then it does not matter to me at all as I never really cared for the online modes in any of rockstar's games

[verbal gale]

yes, this is my theory too. Sometimes capitalism really fucks you over

[calm mulch]

Gotcha

[tardy arrow]

Investors destroy games.

[faint ivy]

I really wouldn't even have minded Cyberpunk being held out for longer if it meant it got finished

[fast chasm]

ppl like to blame the little guy or take their frustrations on them tho, case in point, this chat

[calm mulch]

Bloody ballooning budgets

[tardy arrow]

They don't care for quality, they care for quick turnover, relese dates, and immediate profit.

[tough ermine]

one of the investors at capcom asked them if they could release monster hunter wilds months in advance so they would "make more money"

[verbal gale]

due to these investors we are seeing this shitty AI bubble now

[tardy arrow]

The original Cyberpunk was killed during concepting, so you got a literal GTA clone but worse.

[tough ermine]

investors are actually the lowest IQ people on the planet

[fast chasm]

the problem is and always has been investors and executive management

[stark wave]

as a matter of fact the only rockstar-involved game I care about now is the max payne remake that was announced

[tardy arrow]

The game changed its design completely nearly 10 times during development, because it had a massive identity crisis.

[stark wave]

and also red dead 2 because I've been playing that recently and its awesome

[fast chasm]

even cdpr developers thought they had another 2 years developing the game, it just got too hyped and they wanted to cash out

[tardy arrow]

So the game that was supposed to be a heavy RPG, turned into a barebones RPG with the literal barest RPG mechanics involved, and just released as a mediocre GTA clone.

[calm mulch]

They don’t know how games are made, and it’s sad when people blame “lazy devs” and shit when it’s not usually them that want to deliver a poor product

[verbal gale]

man art would flourish so much more if it wasnt for backed by money shit

[tardy arrow]

Except GTA actually ran on release.

[tough ermine]

people that blame devs are even LOWER iq

[fast chasm]

not gta online

that took a month to get working

[tough ermine]

gta online was always a mess

[stark wave]

I consider that a godsend. please let remedy work on the game independently.

[tardy arrow]

Literally. So many AAA titles would be better off if devs were left to create good games, not just generic slop for an investors pockets.

[old solar]

@verbal gale

Ending #1: your path (whichever path you chose - Nomad, Street Kid, Company man) and raid Arasaka tower.

Ending #2: Rogue. You play as Johnny taking over V's body to raid Arasaka tower.

Ending #3: Arasaka. You go with Arasaka's plan to get rid of Johnny (this is basically the bad ending)

Ending #4: End it all. (says it all there.)

Secret Ending: Dont Fear the Reaper. You raid Arasaka tower alone like a badass with Johnny as the hype man. (your health is ticking away, you must have a 70% relationship with Johnny to have this ending.)

[tardy arrow]

I'll die on the hill of GTA Online was the worst, shittiest attempt to match the community-made SA:MP and still failing.

[verbal gale]

like disco elysium, until it was stolen

[tardy arrow]

Corpo's truly do not understand what communities want for multiplayer, so they give us peer-to-peer dogshit then complain their game is infested with cheaters.

[fast chasm]

i dont like gta online either, but u cant deny it's been making a billion dollars a year for a decade

[verbal gale]

this sounds so cool, I cant wait to get the game and experience it

[tough ermine]

well it made alot of money cause of the scam called shark cards, where if you spend money on a vehicle, you can melt it for less money than what you bought it for lmao

[faint ivy]

GTA Online is a shitpost

[calm mulch]

Honestly it is very impressive to me take2 let rockstar make red dead 2 because red dead has little to no appeal to most people besides it being a rockstar game, 2 doubles down on the historical elements, slow, meandering gameplay, and lite survival elements in ways that I can’t imagine investors thought would pay out

[sturdy summit]

Great.

I love shit posts :D

[verbal gale]

bruh i dont like multiplayer games in general. I like my singleplayer art

[tardy arrow]

Oh 100%. Progression was tied to dumping money into shark cards because anything involving actual gameplay was ruined by the games dogshit multiplayer.

[stark wave]

I have high hopes for the remake since I heard alan wake 2 is a banger which means remedy is still making great games

[old solar]

you'll love Jackie.

[sturdy summit]

My entire life is just a shitpost

[tardy arrow]

People couldn't help themselves but to cheat, which spiral'd into a monumental problem, and Rockstar didn't give a fuck.

[sturdy summit]

I hate you.

[tardy arrow]

They'd claim "Ban waves" but that never did anything.

[calm mulch]

I bet they just told investors that it was “gta on a horse” and they had money signs in their eyes

[verbal gale]

cant wait to experience path tracing for the first time😍

[tough ermine]

gta online was fun when i was younger, but now my palet is more refined, as in i just play star citizen

[old solar]

IM UPSET STILL, SHUT UP

[tardy arrow]

RDO was basically that, except it was so much worse.

[calm mulch]

Then why do we only get their more creative and interesting games once a decade?

[sturdy summit]

DONT MENTION IT.

Rdr2 isn't just that

[calm mulch]

I think it’s a bit more than that

[fast chasm]

i still play gta online from time to time, just to reconnect with some friends on it.. ive never spent a dollar on shark cards

[tardy arrow]

With triple the cheaters, random account bans because it's not secure in the slightest, and worse microtransactions!

[verbal gale]

nvidia probably gave a shitton of money to cdprojecktred for always leading in graphics

[sturdy summit]

As someone who has one of the most pissy achievements in that entire game, the story of rdr2 is much better than GTA

[calm mulch]

I think red dead is going for something that gta doesn’t even remotely attempt

[stark wave]

hence why I never bother with any online functionality in rockstar's games

[calm mulch]

Red Dead 2 has pathos and likeable characters

[fast chasm]

gta 5's story was garbage

[tardy arrow]

It's all shit. Rockstar cannot make competent multiplayer without it being a massive security risk to any and all systems.

[stark wave]

RD2's story mode is a banger tho

[sturdy summit]

Me when when Kieran or Sean

[tough ermine]

the last thing i want to play right now, is a reflection of modern america, so ill pass on any GTA games

[tardy arrow]

The fact you could literally be banned by some random 10-year-old that got a free mod menu because of rockstars vapid fucking incompetence was disgusting.

[sturdy summit]

NO LITTLE IRISH BOY DONT GO INTO THAT TOWN
