my config doesnt have cg_fov 🤔
bleak pike
That's just an engine value
wild wyvern
Not really a hack
so folding the clothes in a different way is not a life hack?
bleak pike
Config basically tells the engine what to change on launch
ashen lark
What hack do I need to be able to install XTU though?
fringe salmon
the one where you just use uefi and mem tweaker
wild wyvern
you need whack
fading spade
C to crouch
space to uncrouch
WHY? XD
oh shit
IT WAS LEAN!!!
YOU CAN LEAN OUT OF COVER, FUCK YEAH
ashen lark
the one where you just use uefi and mem tweaker
Well I can’t get into uefi three quarters of the time and it makes me waste so much more time
fringe salmon
if you cant get into uefi I think your system is broken
bleak pike
YOU CAN LEAN OUT OF COVER, FUCK YEAH
You could in most cods via config files
Just never got officially supported
ashen lark
if you cant get into uefi I think your system is broken
Well sth caused that pressing delete not always works anymore, prosbbly after driver updates so yes broken. But soemtiems the screen to enter uefi just doesn’t show which is a common thing
fringe salmon
you just spam the button and dont wait to see the screen that prompts you lol
since that might just be lost on video side or the monitor wakes up too late etc.
ashen lark
you just spam the button and dont wait to see the screen that prompts you lol
Well it doesn’t work if the screen gets skipped
But better than before, I used to have to replug display port on this monitor
Now it at least works

okay out of all the games that has given me issues installing the steam deck, the biggest one is currently Dwarf Fortress and that has to do with permission setup and such with the pacman terminal and I'm debating if worth fiddling with it or not.
(so far no other game has given me issues besides setting up controls for a few)
fading spade
you need to use commands and pacman to install a game?
fading spade
oh

I wanted to be incredibly lazy and wanted to use the Lazy Newb Pack because I don't want to fiddle with read only permissions and shit so I tried the LNP pack buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it doesn't work on Steam Deck for reasons that is probably because lack of java preinstalled and that requires pacman
solid bough
aye. again was being lazy
includes DF Hack and utilities
but for linux you have to enable memory manipulation to impliment DF utilities like Dwarf Therapy.
but I think DFHack works off the bat
orchid prism
DFhack should require the same - Also injects memory
solid bough
I think it bypasses the need though, me thinks. I'd have to doublecheck. I didn't have issue on my desktop.
I need ot see if even the base DF game would work at all, I don't know yet.
Glad that OpenMW works without issue though
orchid prism
Still waiting patiently for Skywind and Skyblivion.
solid bough
that some porting of the previous games into skyrim?
orchid prism
Yup.
solid bough
meh. That wouldn't really go so well except maybe for oblivion.
orchid prism
Works fine.
solid bough
no i mean, like
if its trying to direct copy wont work.
but fi its just visiting the place then thats different
orchid prism
No one wants Morrowind RPG mechanics xD
solid bough
i meant the same enemies npc and quests lol
orchid prism
Eh?
orchid prism
In the Skyrim - engine.
solid bough
or is it just the location?
yeah, i'm not saying port over the morrowind game mechanics. I was meaning in asking if they were doing jsut location or the whole adventure*
orchid prism
Entire game. With up to date graphics.

Old trailer but it gets the point across.
trim rock
Meh, can't wait for Starwind, Starblivion, Starrim
solid bough
I don't think it'll go over well. The pace of morrowind is so vastly different.
orchid prism
Never had any issues with the pacing or anything else for that matter. Glad to be rid of the old-school RPG elements that never really worked.
solid bough
as in like, enemies paced to relfect the mechanics*
don't know what you mean by 'never really worked'. they worked fine.
orchid prism
HA HA HA
solid bough
what didn't actualyl work was pickpocketing. that was bugged-broken.
you laugh but i'm for real.
orchid prism
Oh no! Your shield score wasn't high enough. Even though through you blocked, you didn't actually block. Try another 200 times to learn it.
feral ferry
I'm wondering when Skyblivion releases
orchid prism
Oh you hit an enemy? Sorry. Your dice roll wasn't good enough to do anything.
feral ferry
They are actually attempting to code the janky magic making mechanic from Oblivion
Which, funnily enough, was a highlight of Oblivion
solid bough
yeah its like you never heard of tabletop or any RPG
orchid prism

Bitch I was raised on Baldur's Gate. It does NOT translate into a first person, real time action combat game.

feral ferry
They announced it like years back I remember
orchid prism
Did BGIII release yet?
Next year... hopefully.
feral ferry
I heard nothing about it

like. someone never using an axe weapon before aint going to do dick with one if they suddenly picked one up. it's imagined dodge and parry and block mechanics. like, you know, WoW and such.
feral ferry
I am hoping that the new Fable reboot doesn't suck, but I heard they're already trimming the fat which is unfortunate and have leadership quitting problems
orchid prism

WoW doesn't have you physically wield and thrust weapons.
Morrowind does - And it did not work - at all.
If your weapon connects, it should do something. Not go "no sorry - low dice roll formula result"
solid bough
the fac tof the matter is : morrowind was made to be closer to classical RPG, not action based like Oblivion and Skyrim. thats just the way it is.
regardless of first person or not
feral ferry
I missed polearms in Skyrim
orchid prism
Enjoy your OpenMW. The rest of us have embraced actual combat long ago 😄
fringe salmon
it being made that way does not mean that way is good
feral ferry
Morrowind honestly, I'd say, is a pretty jank and bad game
solid bough
you nseem to be under the impression that I think morrowind is BESTERETS IN THE WHOLE World or something.
I am just defending it for what it is.
feral ferry
It doesn't explain the game mechanics at all, and you stabbing something 10 times out of which maybe 1 hits is like, what?
orchid prism

No - I am under the impression that you somehow consider Morrowind's combat good. Which it is not. Even for its time.
feral ferry
I was so confused initially why my slashes weren't doing anything
I had to go to the damn wiki to read that "IF YOU AREN'T OF GOOD ENOUGH SKILL, YOU WILL MISS NEARLY ALWAYS"
solid bough
If you look at it like a traditional RPG, yes. I find it works. great? no.
barren pewter
I am just defending it for what it is.
A game where rpg elements make little sense at times
Mansen’s example
feral ferry
How does one miss with a knife, can someone explain 
barren pewter
Axe connects? Should do some damage
orchid prism
If you look at it like a traditional RPG, yes. I find it works. great? no.
Traditional RPGs were - again - not first person action combat systems where you physically swung a sword and made contact 😄
Yes - Daggerfall also fails this basic concept.
orchid prism
You're more than welcome to have that opinion. I for one do not share it at all.
solid bough
thats okay
orchid prism
Morrowind is one of my favourite games - That I will never - ever fucking boot up in its original form - ever. 😄
solid bough
I do understand it, there's indeed a big disconnect when swinging a sword, and SEEING it touch but it mechanically not touching
but i've played plenty of other games that did the same so i'm fine with it
orchid prism
Games like Kingdom Come properly show how to handle untrained combat. Not by going "sorry - you're a novice so that sword slash that just went through the enemy's head didn't actually do shit all" but by having you have actual, physical difficulty swinging around that sharp blade and having you physically miss or get blocked.
solid bough
aye, I agree

That's great - We weren't judging for what it is, but comparing it to moving the game into the Skyrim engine if you'll recall.

Fallout 3?
Weapons won’t magically be ineffective, but less accurate if you don’t have high enough scores
It’ll still do damage if the bullet connects
No “hur dur gun score too low, switch back to the 10mm pistol”
solid bough
right but it can't be a DIRECT port into SKyrim's engine
you have to do a lot fo changes
orchid prism
Yes of course.
orchid prism
The STORY and locations get ported over and enhanced. Gameplay MECHANICS are adapted and systems modded in where it makes sense.
solid bough
I'll be shocked if they actually got in Morrowind's magic system.
orchid prism
A lot of Morrowind's spells were scripts. They're doing all they can to port everything over.
orchid prism
solid bough
aye, spell making
but you also need ot be able ot change :
how many spell effects, duration, range, and the like
solid bough
and then you have to put in a bunch of spells that were removed over the two game series

Added to the funds raised in earlier stages of Series A funding, our total investment capital raised to date, is now $5.34 million. This figure is additional to crowdfunding efforts and is a huge accomplishment for Pantheon! We are grateful for our ardent and supportive community, and our investors who share the same zeal to see Pantheon break into the modern game sphere and bring people together.

It can't. It's an issue which they acknowledge. Their fans are hoping the mmo-space returns to sub-only mmorpgs. It's ultimately a passion project

WoW kind of forgets the part where you want a story - Skipping all of the previous expansions and expecting new players to know the entire story.

also I wanted to just cut all ties with the company forever.

Yeah I enjoyed the classic for a bit, but even then it was a nerfed/much more accessible version of the true original experience.
solid bough
nerfed/accessible?
it was accessible in the sense of they put it ona modern engine so it wouldn't explode because shitty old drivers only

nerfed prob refers to the tons of fixing and updating to be closer to modern wow
its just not entirely vanilla
unique bane
it was accessible in the sense of they put it ona modern engine so it wouldn't ...
No, a lot of enemies and heroics were nerfed iirc. Most classes had 1-2 years worth of buffs, etc. Bosses nerfed. Phasing. Etc.
I can't remember the specifics
solid bough
I didn't see that when I jumped into Classic.
unique bane
But it makes it so much easier if everyone is suddenly doing 20% more dps because of years worth of buffs

they gave it progressive updates up until the Burning Crusade one which is yes including the balancing from back the up to the burning crusade
then they released BC classic and such separate and all that

What's happening with yours?

What's happening with yours?
Nothing bad other than it being stupidly hot to touch

I have played countless games on my PSP and I don't recall them ever being hot
solid bough
psp isn't a computer 😛
orchid prism
Ugh... I still need to fix my PSP.
feral ferry
But boy UMD discs were shit
solid bough
also a psp can get too hot too if you throw it in an enviornment that is, well, too hot
feral ferry
Why did they invent UMD?
orchid prism
Gotta get around to gutting the rest of the UMD room, so I can fit the new battery...
solid bough
sony always invents new formats
feral ferry
Does anyone even make them anymore or let alone use UMD anywhere else but PSP
nimble current
the first gen PSP was pretty ahead of its time
orchid prism
The PSP came with SD cards though...
solid bough
plus optical cheaper than at time SD cards to hold huge storage for games

I think I was like 10, and I was like "Wait, can't I just download games off of like, emuparadise?"
solid bough
yeah a whole whopping 512mb stick, in proprietary format

Adaptors

My PSP for whatever reason I don't even remember jailbreaking
solid bough
thats aftermarket

It just took downloaded roms like a champ

So is piracy ya dunce 😄

I was hoping for a haiku..
I was sorely disappointed
orchid prism
Which also failed on day 1
solid bough
yeah that happens
the wii one was a clever trick, caught crackers off guard
TWO operating systems
orchid prism
I'd hardly call removing the top and/or replacing it with CD sized discs a difficult task 😄
solid bough
i beleive nowadays there's an adapter you can plug into the bottom of the gamecube
orchid prism
It's yet another example of trying to do something proprietary and having an obvious side door right there.
It'd be like releasing a SNES with USB. Gee I wonder which of those two people are going to target for piracy.
solid bough
lol

still disappointed there's no kitty personalization menu

21 million players of ESO
I'm wondering is this like, monthly
Cause
Very competitive numbers
fringe salmon
It’s not monthly and the blizzard numbers are also inflated since they count other activities on battle net
feral ferry
Ah, yeah the fine print at the bottom says it's numbers from launch to latest update
So yeah that's quite sad
It's not doing badly at all though, very surprising considering ESO launched in a bad state
Glad that the Zenimax team made that game shine
I did actually play it a bit, pretty good MMO
fringe salmon
Ff14 had 24million last October before the expansion launched
feral ferry
I couldn't get into FF14
I don't really into MMORPG, but something about that art style and quest design
It was just... meh
fringe salmon
unfortunate
feral ferry
Do you peeps actually like the art style of the game?
Cause the game looked really dated and just unattractive
nimble current
no
fringe salmon
well they are working on upgrading the entire game visually enxt expansion
but it doesnt really bother me currently
nimble current
but on the other hand am not much for eastern/anime inspired artstyle for starters
fringe salmon
fringe salmon
but yeah, all they showed was all stuff they did after one month of testing things out nothing final etc.
feral ferry
Textures are a lot better
fringe salmon
keep in mind the game and first expansion had to run on ps3 still
feral ferry
It's still on PS3?
fringe salmon
god no
but something you can already do is use shader mod to get most of these things already if looks were the main reason
feral ferry
So Skyrim shaders basically
fringe salmon
with how many people do basically only screenshots of poses all day there are so many presets to use
feral ferry
I still cannot fathom how incredibly important shaders are in games
fringe salmon
anyway free trial, unlimited time, award winning expansion join now
nimble current
I was close, but aborted halfway installed
fringe salmon
mistakes were made
nimble current
well I've seen plenty of what its about, bf been obsessed with that shit for well over a year and plays it all the fuckin time lol
couldn't bribe me to play that
fringe salmon
¯_(ツ)_/¯ your loss
feral ferry
The game's still on that trial mechanic, where you hit a specific level before you get locked out?
nimble current
you can play to like lvl 50 iirc
fringe salmon
lv 60 which is the entire base game and first expansion
feral ferry
So about everything worth playing for free?
fringe salmon
well you are missing the newer expansions, the current endgame etc. you could farm the old endgame sure but the new stuff is so much better
feral ferry
Are there like multiple expansions with like a 59.99 pricetag each?
fringe salmon
but yes there are a decent amount of people who only play the free trial
currently theres a sale for 25 you get all expansions atm
usually its 35 or so for the complete edition I think
think it was 40 on release for the latest expansion
the website is still the worst part of the game ngl
I really dont understand why they make it so hard for people to give them money
nimble current
I dunno man, am just kinda allergic to the char design and artstyle on top of gameplay and progression system that's already an overindulgent timesink in typical MMO fashion, I'm all for enjoying video games but you want to be truly committed and well versed into the world and community you've practically went from playing a game to living inside it
perhaps more so than any MMO I've encountered prior
and those people are probably having a blast
fringe salmon
idk you reach max level with one character just following the main story quest and there are a shit ton of catchups for levelling other jobs
no an xp bonus I'd see in something I call a timesink
they are currently even adding NPC support for older dungeons and raids so you can do all the main game without any community interaction if you dont feel like it
solid bough
My brain went to Char the character instead of shorthand for Character
nimble current
well kind of my point, you have submechanics and minigames to the point where you're more or less encouraged to spend your entire waking time hanging out in there
solid bough
RIP Azneble
fringe salmon
hmm you can do a lot of stuff but you aren't really encouraged to spend more time than you want to invest in it
there is no push for doing dailies since you dont miss out on gear you need or anything, if you just want the story and no second job you can fully ignore the rest and see it as a long RPG that you have to log in for
unique bane
Ooh nice good thing they're upgrading visuals
Gotta check how much I need to pay for all expansions
fringe salmon
they are currently on sale
nimble current
a lot of its appeal (to those who enjoy it at least) is the community and events built around that too, the social aspect imo are an equal or larger pull than much of the game itself, especially to the veteran base
fringe salmon
so probably 25 bucks
well yeah I wont deny the community is big, I'm just saying the game has a lot to offer still if you exclude all of that
I know a few people that resub like once per expansion, play the main story, maybe some side content while the month is active then leave for months
so it certainly has all the points you describe, and art style etc. is something one either likes or not, but it's just a timesink if you want it to be not because it forces daily tasks on you that you need for X or Y
solid bough
Well everything is a timesink
nimble current
I might be narrowing down on those aspects too much but its kinda what makes these huge MMOs stand out and not really something found in other games much
fringe salmon
well the big difference in 14 from other mmos to me is that you can fully enjoy the story part as a full AAA rpg game and then just not do the mmo part aside from the dungeons/raids you have in the story
orchid prism
well the big difference in 14 from other mmos to me is that you can fully enjoy ...
So SWTOR?
fringe salmon
have not played that so cant compare it
solid bough
I found myself enjoying FF14 more fameplay and mechanic wise
But honestly i found myself cari g about the story character bits of swtor more.
orchid prism
Some of the SWTOR storylines are pretty forgettable. But a few are just amazing - Like the Agent.
solid bough
The first arc main story of ff14 is.... like it doesn't fit
Ih def
Loved the agent bits
fringe salmon
ARR is them just salvaging the game and making it playable again, they said back then they had no real plan for the evil guys yet
solid bough
Can't have been worse than the jedi opening story
Like, by the nine was it drab
The sith might have been typical but it didnt ham fist it down your throat
orchid prism
I don't remember which but one of the Sith storylines is also pretty good.
solid bough
Most of what i can remember is the ability to backhand my minion-companion and that justified 15 dollars a month
orchid prism
The Jedi Consular is basically the boring, diplomatic parts of Star Wars. Remember the part from Episode one where Qui Gon and Obi attend talks with the ... trade federation? It's like that all the time - But without the awesome fight scenes.
Bounty Hunter is also so dull - You're basically on a big old scavenging hunt on every planet taking down a specific target. It just feels like anything BUT being an awesome boba fett character.
Jedi Warrior? Knight? Is basically Star Wars : the movie.
You could call it the CANON movie plot - With all of the other storylines being the side characters you don't see in the movie in a way
solid bough
Aye and thats dandy but its possible to make fictional politics and diplomacy interesting
fading spade
feral ferry
Why are we doing this now
solid bough
some of these arent even funny, lame scores for all of these.
fringe salmon
my bet is on this being from a youtube video

Ubisoft is hitting rock bottom at this point
Poor Splinter Cell man
A great franchise in the hands of idiots
Ghost Recon could do so much more than the trash Ubi made it into
And we still need a single player, faithful to the originals Rainbow Six
Wtf

So when is Ubisoft closing
feral ferry
Hopefully tomorrow

well yeah they have to cancel these games : they have to make budget for their NFT programs

Try one of the profiles on for size and see if they work for you - Might need a bit of tweaking for you.

I love this game so much, I won't play it so I wouldn't spoil it
