Was like "oh, that seems something the boys in wooting might want to know"
Below I find that Calder I see has like google alerts whenever anyone even mentions Wooting in the internet

Valorant 🤢

how dare you 😛

hahaha. as an old cs 1.6 and csgo player, i still think valorant brings something better than csgo
feral ferry
Ability shooters?
jovial coral
Valorant is 10 million times better for visually impaired players

Isn't valorant also embracing pay for skills?

feral ferry
Pretty sure I heard purchasable characters were a thing
stoic current
nah
feral ferry
So locking abilities behind a paywall
stoic current
u buy when u play ^^
jovial coral
Bro u unlock them by playing
feral ferry
Ah so Siege style
jovial coral
The abilies are like grenades in csgo
stoic current
The only thing you can pay, is skins
feral ferry
Anyways
Does that game still have that intrusive anti cheat?
Cause I sure as hell don't want Riot to snoop around my system just cause they want to
stoic current
It does.
I'd rather have that and play with more than 2k hours in the game and have encountered 0 cheaters atm, (im radiant). than have an "easy anti-cheat" and play regurarly with cheaters
jovial coral
I don't think I ever encountered a cheater in val while in csgo it happened frequently enough
willow quiver
have encountered a few in valorant they either have all been banned within 30 mins or during the match itself
willow quiver
Ah so Siege style
you can unlock new agents faster on valorant than you could operators on siege
also the price is the same for every agent
whereas in siege some operators cost more
willow quiver
also the price is the same for every agent
(1000)
feral ferry
Uhh
Siege ops cost the same on release
25k
They just get discounts after 2 years I think
Down to 15k and later down to 10k iirc
jovial coral
Unlocking val agents is incredibly quick
willow quiver
Down to 15k and later down to 10k iirc
yea you can complete the unlock contract for a new agent on valorant faster than you can complete even the cheapest reduced price for a year 1 operator on siege
also, there are much less of them total to unlock
feral ferry
Unlocking val agents is incredibly quick
That's kind of an issue with Siege to be fair, slow grind
willow quiver
plus agents are like a niche thing you dont need all of them
feral ferry
Although Ubi did recently buff credit income so maybe it's better now
willow quiver
whereas in siege having all the ops is more important
so you can be versatile and will potentially disadvantage your team in some situations if you dont have most or all operators
and again there are so many
rose wraith
Is Siege still popular enough for a new player to jump into in 2022?
willow quiver
so the comparison here just paints siege as inferior in that category so as long as you can accept it on siege, its fine on val
willow quiver
Is Siege still popular enough for a new player to jump into in 2022?
the gunplay of siege is easier than val fs
however
so much more to learn
more maps, more ops
more weapons with unique recoil
rose wraith
I could imagine. But ain't learning what makes games fun?
rose wraith
I'm a Destiny player. So looking for a different type of shooter recently
rose wraith
for some it can be discouraging depends on the player
yeah I get what your saying bud
willow quiver
yeah valorant is very diff for me
i never played cs
i played siege for years
from like early 2016 til around mid 2020
so val is a learning curve for me rn
rose wraith
I played Counterstrike when I was 12 back in like 2008...Ain't touched it since
willow quiver
siege kinda fell off for my personal tastes in like summer 2017
and it just progressively worsened
from there on
rose wraith
so val is a learning curve for me rn
Counterstrike and Siege look like 2 completely different games.
willow quiver
Counterstrike and Siege look like 2 completely different games.
yeah idk why people compare them
rose wraith
yeah exactly
willow quiver
the movement and gunplay is so different
siege peaked for me at like the tail end of operation health
rose wraith
When I saw a Siege clip couple of weeks ago, I knew sooner or later I would try it out. But on a gruelling work schedule at the moment
willow quiver
at that time i felt like the game couldnt get any better at that time
rose wraith
siege peaked for me at like the tail end of operation health
That went over my head XD
willow quiver
That went over my head XD
imo it's past its' prime basically
that operation i mentioned was done in like august 2017 thats 5 years ago
rose wraith
Ok, I might not jump on it then. Unless I see reviews which say Siege has caught a second wind
willow quiver
so far removed from what was great to me
i mean idk maybe i just played too much and cant enjoy it anymore
maybe my opinion on the game is too cultured rn to be a fair advision for a potential new player
rose wraith
i mean idk maybe i just played too much and cant enjoy it anymore
That's how I am with Destiny at the moment. Played that game far too much
rose wraith
maybe my opinion on the game is too cultured rn to be a fair advision for a pote...
That's true.
willow quiver
i knew the game inside out
but the meta changed so many times
im more of the belief that rather than changing meta regularly with the start of a new season or year; to just move towards one perfected meta
siege is best not with more operators but more maps
rose wraith
im more of the belief that rather than changing meta regularly with the start of...
Agree on that. I hate the idea of a game completely changing it's identity every new season
willow quiver
Agree on that. I hate the idea of a game completely changing it's identity every...
well that is siege essentially
and thats what really killed it for me
in 2017 augudt
august
there were far less operators
and they worked well in terms of balance imo
besides maybe the long range scopes on jager n bandit if uk about that
but more importantly
every map in the game was in the ranked queue
and there was like 15-20
i forget exactly the number
and sure like its a lot to learn but it keeps it from getting stale
you can only@play operators so many different ways on sites
so not playing the same 3 maps due to player bans pregame, was much better
rose wraith
Seems like a bit too much. How is the community? Are they toxic?
willow quiver
Seems like a bit too much. How is the community? Are they toxic?
it's the best and worst part of the game
but yeah they used to be really toxic
LMFAO
rose wraith
On a scale of Extremely friendly to average league player... what are we saying?
willow quiver
LMFAO welll
league is pretty fucked
id say siege is less toxic even at its worst
because you can at least vent it out
rose wraith
Then Siege is a breeze XD
willow quiver
in league u get ur ass beat by riot for saying some stupid shit like shut up tinklewinkle
and u cant even voice chat
i honestly dont know how my friends that still play league manage
does it?
if it does i might have to come back
ngl
rose wraith
I would never argue with someone whether on chat or VC...I'm a grown man, how could I justify arguing with children or teenagers?
willow quiver
well trolling can be fun but i did that as a teenager myself
hence my saying siege's community was the "best and worst" part
the shit id do to people on that game
it was gloriously bad
rose wraith
I get it can be fun... But as I got deeper into my 20s, I like mellow communities and games
willow quiver
yeah i think siege is more mellow now
rose wraith
For example right now my favourite game is Hollow Knight🤣
willow quiver
val has way more egos
but its also mainly the 16-17 yr olds who think theyre gonna go pro and drop out of hs
rose wraith
You are spot on bro. I play league every now and then...Haven't turned on chat for that game in years
willow quiver
league is so toxic bro
rose wraith
100% toxic XD
willow quiver
it gets to a point where i cant even imagine playing the game unless im playing TO BE toxic
LMAO
rose wraith
I play and just have fun with weird champions. I might play again because of the rework of an old favourite champ of mine
I tried to grind ranked with new season... But stopped playing after a month or so
That game is only good with a group
willow quiver
on league literally one person can ruin the entire match
rose wraith
Yeah too much power. No wonder people troll
willow quiver
i mean i was the same on siege
once the game changed from my competitive tastes
but i was like 16-17 at the time
rose wraith
I won't look down on anyone for being a lil shit when they were 16-17 🤣
I was probably a lil cunt aswell mate
willow quiver
u can still def ruin a match all on ur own
on val or siege
its just a matter of how far ure willing to go
and maybe how clever
personally
im in that knowledge absorption phase with val rn
so my tolerance for the sadistic trolling shit is at a minimum
but every now and then u just get a dickhead or two on ur team
and u have to show them there are levels to this
LMFAO

exactly why fortnite was such a revolutionary br game, this doesn't happen since you have building available
generally fortinite has a higher skill ceiling that basically any other br game in my opinion
orchid prism
building weird ass towers
In a fast paced shooter
Third person
feral ferry
I can't help but cringe at the words "revolutionary br"
orchid prism
Give me some Unreal deathmatch any day. I will never stop blaming Fortnite for killing Unreal Tournament 
willow quiver
I mean I don't really care if the game concept is weird, as long as it plays out well and has a high skill ceiling
like compare fn to any other br
it's all abt camping and holding angles, not very skillful
willow quiver
apex is very well designed for sure
willow quiver
but pubg has no place in the top either
feral ferry
Sequel underway
willow quiver
yes yes, warzone and apex are good brs, but they are still mostly about aiming if you think abt it
building in fortnite is, and remains a "revolutionary" concept
feral ferry
Yes in a competitive shooter
Aiming is what should decide who dies or not
That's how it's been for decades
willow quiver
again, I don't really care if the concept is weird
it's the skill ceiling that matters
- if aim is all shooters are supposed to be, why not just play kovaaks all day and compare scores
feral ferry
Building is annoying
willow quiver
if you're 1 hp in apex, it's game over no matter what
but in fortnite, the better player can clutch almost anything
games like apex and warzone encourage you to not take fights in order to not end up in a bad spot, but in fortnite it doesn't generally matter
feral ferry
Honestly I don't even care for the genre, never played it and never will
Best BR is DayZ and you can't prove it otherwise

exactly why fortnite was such a revolutionary br game, this doesn't happen since...
That one was reference towards Pubg/DayZ*
But yeah fortnite did change things a bit which is good.
DayZ is legendarily crap
A mod of a game that wasnt optimized so it ran like crap meant for a Military Simulator
But you can't anything within DayZ because everything is already gotten by everyone else or is camped by groups.
Also it isnt a BR.
@feral ferry this is false, depending how you view DayZ
If you want a survival zombie game that is multiplayer, 7 Days To Die is far better.
solid bough
But if you want a milsim, Arma is still there or Tarkov for the high risk high reward
Thats been fixed for ages.

Arma 3 is good yeah

And is technically impressive as hell
Still a lot of issues to iron out though

if the game has aim assist on a console version then most likely no need to remove it for the PC version since it already exists.

Vicky is all about the industrialism and enlightenment of the masses. Bringing the super rural and ineffective rule of China into a bustling factory empire where workers might suddenly demand basic healthcare and such is a huge undertaking.
You've got political parties and ideologies, you've got resource management.
And equally importantly they've finally done away with the old-school tutorials that break after a patch and a DLC forever. Now they're more of a dynamic thing - You pick a goal and the game tries to help you get towards that.

Well thing is I can’t trade or build because 20/21 factories do consumer goods (...
Welcome to countries with good standards of living in warfare. You can change your trade policy, reduce imports for materials and then try and push out more factories shortterm to manage (there's also research that helps here)
ashen lark
I can’t change almost anything because my stability and war support are extremely low lol
orchid prism
Sometimes you just gotta start over and try and plan better. HOI4 is definitely a case of stronger start, MUCH stronger mid/endgame.
ashen lark
Well yeah but it’s kinda boring since with Norway first 4 years you just wait

Does that game allow you to unequip the BS mechanic that is the supremo?
feral ferry
Cause seriously I would want to cosplay a genuine AK-47 guerilla
Not a super soldier with a fucking katyusha with guided missiles on my back
fallow bronze
cosplay, costume play, as in irl dressing up as a game/anime/... character
feral ferry
Drakonen
They both fit
Roleplaying is serious
Cosplaying is a joke
Just like far cry 6 is
So yes I would cosplay a guerilla with ak-47 that doesn't have a missile launcher array on my back
fallow bronze
interesting definition of cosplay. ive never heard of it used that way
feral ferry
An euphemism, if you will
fallow bronze
A euphemism (/ˈjuːfəmɪzəm/) is an innocuous word or expression used in place of one that is deemed offensive or suggests something unpleasant.
feral ferry
That is a weird expression for euphemism but.. kinda?
fallow bronze
its from wikipedia
fringe salmon
if you want to make the character look like a genuine guerrilla it would be cosplay, if you want to play him like one that would be roleplay
ashen lark
@feral ferry wdym Norway has low manpower?
feral ferry
Now do that without subsuming Sweden
ashen lark
Not just Sweden
This is after peace conference btw
So all mine
Oh no I didn’t see Greenland time to redo the conference
I want Iceland and Greenland
Oh and I had max 17 divisions so far
Now gonna change it
But I couldn’t since I needed manpower to stay In garrisons
Wish I got to take Netherlands too
ashen lark
Oh well only thing I don’t have I may want is Greece and Iceland of which Iceland I may be able to get once Soviet Union is down
Funnily enough soviets are allied with Japan
And USA is in war against them but has done nothing so far
But I am surprised with 17 divisions I got 17% war contribution. Germany didn’t even get 50
But well I didn’t enter war against Soviet until Allies have fallen
I tried to be independent at first but first game france didn’t fall so despite beating UK it was very annoying to defend and second game Germany would have declared war on me
Oh, 500 000 extra infantry equipment may be enough for my 40 divisions
Hmm
feral ferry
That is expensive af division
That lacks support
Organization is VERY low
Bad sign
Going for these kinds of wunderwaffe divisions is just not good in the game
They don't do well, over expensive
ashen lark
Well yes but I have too much other stuff produced so why not to make one division like this lol
Okay the organization makes it unusable
feral ferry
Org should be about 20 min
6.2 is really low
Org is how long they will fight
And executes maneuvers, etc
If it's low, then they won't want to move or fight
ashen lark
I have divisions that have like 50 organization and then this. But added motorized stuff and now it’s 30, still low
Yeah my normal divisions have 60 organization

Replying to what you said earlier.
gleaming olive
The creamapi thing. That's a mixed bag.
gleaming olive
Alternatively: don't support games which have >$20 dollars of DLC
feral ferry
Best option: Buy the base game, API the rest
That way you are still somewhat not literally ripping off the game
gleaming olive
Well yes, but have you considered this: the API doesn't always work.
gleaming olive
Ah, understandable.
orchid prism
gleaming olive
Mansen, listen, as wrong as it is to do this type of stuff, have you considered that some games charge over >$1000 in DLC? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
gleaming olive
Like, I have more important things to spend on than DLC, like food, housing, and etc
feral ferry
Buy the base game, and if the company is shit, fuck them
gleaming olive
Also kinda of a grey area here, but it might be the better option instead of using a key site.
feral ferry
I actually bought Prison Architect DLC
gleaming olive
Key sites hurts the dev(s) AFAIK.

That was before Paradox acquired them
That game was fairly good before Paradox
Now it's been DLC'd to shit

Before Introversion SOLD the IP to get away from it.
You can literally just beta opt in to the last Introversion build should you prefer.
gleaming olive
Ok, had to be sure.
orchid prism
Introversion completely left the project - Cause that was their intent. Making NEW games - not being stuck being the Prison Architect devs for all eternity Paradox style 😄

What really irks me and pushes me to uh... acquire 'legitimate' DLC is games that push out DLC before the main game is done.
Cough cough early access
Still though, indie developers get my cash as long as they aren't shitters.

@brazen shadow I also used to use numPad for fighting games and optimized it by removing Num0 keycap to access the row above more easily (also rebound NumLock elsewhere to avoid disabling NumPad mid-game).
This setup is really unusual because the right hand does movement and left hand jump, attack etc. (usually it is the opposite). This 'swapped' layout is in general more versatile on full sized Keyboards since there are always more action keys than movement keys in modern fighting games
But I recently upgraded to this layout, which keeps it in line with 'box' style controllers/arcade sticks and has spacebar keycap swapped with smaller keycap, to easily access the keys on zxcv row.
it's also a huge advantage that 'spacebar' can be pressed with either thumb, which is a straight upgrade compared to the NumPad layout above. It also suits 60% users perfectly and no software rebounding is used (I guess you can consider the different Keycap on spacebar a hardware mod?)
young crow
kindly flip the spacebar back 🙂
dawn nest
No lol flipped is more comfortable for me
young hill
kindly flip the spacebar back 🙂
You may wanna first suggest to glue the pieces that were cut off it back on
nimble current
kindly put an actual spacebar on
dawn nest
I do when typing and when playing FPS games
But for fighting games and Rocket League this is just more optimal
Trust
tough jay
It's also not just the spacebar that's flipped
Just tried myself on a more normal sized spacebar, and actually it is better flipped
dawn nest
👍
tough jay
The way I hold my thumbs makes it more natural upside down
dawn nest
I know a few ppl that prefer it flipped
tough jay
It does look rather cursed though
Actually flipping it back, really doesnt matter much to me, I think I will continue to use it normally. I think some sort of middle ground would feel best
brazen shadow
<@861366750485413959> I also used to use numPad for fighting games and optimized...
neat! i use this setup for strive
though it changed a bit since then
but hand placement is the same
dawn nest
Cool cool, thanks for sharing!
brazen shadow
i have multiple binds in case my fingers slip btw
dawn nest
Better be safe than sorry amiright
brazen shadow
Exactly
In the end I don't use E or shift
W to run rather than shift and I do the 3 button manual input instead of the rc macro the game offers
So those would be my main macro buttons if I find a solution I like for that x)
Alongside alt
dawn nest
I play some Strive but mainly Smash Bros Melee on Dolphin emulator. So i need to bind all the frickin C-stick directions which complicates things
brazen shadow
I'd imagine you have the opposite problem with the 632146 inputs since you use the right hand
Those are comfortable but mirrored you'd sometimes miss the 3
For smash I dig regular controllers
Although I wonder how my keyboard would do in ultimate
Can I connect it to the switch? :O
No more missinputs x)
dawn nest
Can I connect it to the switch? :O
This is something I'm also trying to figure out
dawn nest
I'd also imagine it would be plug and play for ps and Xbox, I can't really test it or care to rn
brazen shadow
yeah same haha
maybe sometime i'll give it a shot next time i have the switch available

Same here, I think 2023 they're expanding the original game
I expected at least 3 acts before the main missions ended, released with two because the developers didn't wanna become overhyped with caffeine from CDPR forcing them to grind
It does take a long time in general to finish the game, but graphically its so bland despite so much backstory on the Cyberpunk fandom
orchid prism
Ubisoft games are notoriously shit when it comes to the basic settings and suppo...
It's just mindblowingly bad. So the game will let you set an FOV of 104 (No I don't know if that's hor or ver), but the instant you hop in a car or on a horse it gets halved to 50 something.
On a 29:1 panel that's... yeah... actually kind of unplayable.
ashen lark
Well I wouldn’t expect many things to be playable on a 29:1 panel
ashen lark
Maybe you can play terraria on 29:1

From the makers of the single chunk challenge comes - one vertical block column challenge.
It's like skyblock, but you stand on the top of a 1 block wide mountain slice that goes all the way to bedrock, surrounded by void.

the game has pvp and people play it so balance changes are not a bad thing

Define bug fix
The constant broken things within skyrim that rhey anknowledge are bug but refuse to fix because they said someone else will fix it.l for them instead.
Also yeah catching all bugs and exploits aint easy before a game launch. And sometimes they are super creative roundabouts like menory exploitation.
If you look at original pokemon : its like they almost did no testing in comparison to other games.

I am shocked GTA V is on the Deck's top ten list this week
also
why is Desk Job not preinstalled?
It should be

why would gta not be on top 10 if its like top5 on steam all the time
fringe salmon
it even fits the deck, racing game that came out on consoles before pc etc.
fading spade
still...Desk Job should be preinstalled
it's a hardware demo for the Deck
could let users play that game while the system downloads other stuff in the background after the initial setup

if the playtime is longer than 10minutes it wouldnt be worth it cause thats all the time i need to load whatever game
fading spade
its about 30 minutes

Valve never stopped developing games

Just 99% of them don't ever launch
There are prolly hundreds of projects valve has worked on over the years

That didn't go down for... anyone that tried to compete with Steam
Honestly Steam should just get the monopoly
feral ferry
Fuck it, make Steam a pre-installed app on every PC
But make it controlled by national institutions
What cut can Valve take, etc
fringe salmon
fuck no
feral ferry
Valve gets wide adoption, devs get more cash
feral ferry
As long as Valve drops their cut to 5%
They can get the gaming monopoly
It's a good platform, but they want a bit too much
fringe salmon
because companies never change and never in the history did a good company turn bad after some time
jovial coral
monopolies are very antithetical to the principles of the capitalist system we live in
not a good idea
feral ferry
The idea is great
Cause capitalism sucks
The problem is that the company would have to be entrusted with good will to maintain a friendly ecosystem
And imo Valve is probably some of the best to actually entrust that with
Privately owned, no real shareholders afaik
Decent track record
fringe salmon
so what if gabe dies the year that happens and bobby kotick takes over somehow
or someone like him
feral ferry
Dunno if you knew but the company I am pretty sure is 50/50 owned by Gabe and his son
So it would never really fall into corporate hands
And his son is pretty much into technology a lot

Its not some finate resource that you dig out of the ground

What I am suggesting is that you give Valve artificial monopoly like Microsoft does, preinstall its software into every PC
but in return they have to provide a friendly ecosystem
fringe salmon
again, nobody is arguing that point, vex brought up steam should become one by force and we are saying that stupid
