It's like remastering Last of Us 1 twice

They use decima engine right?

That Kojima prod develops

Oh apparently they themselves make the engine

I'd work on that engine and release Killzone 2

Or a new IP

[fringe salmon]

or maybe its just extra work they can do while already working on a multiplayer game since you can use the better assets in both and dont really stop development time from something else

not like you put away time from design/writing etc. when just remastering it

[feral ferry]

Remastering is a lot easier than just developing a new game

Especially if you can just drop it into an upscaler nowadays and it does all of the work for you

[fringe salmon]

point was people could be working on a new IP and you still have a lot of phases where artist aren't needed yet especially in the early stages and you could put them to work on something else

demand for certain jobs in the making phase of games goes up and down

[fading spade]

This is the same guy that dropped his Switch onto the Deck screen and also dropped the Deck onto the floor off his couch

It's the 256gb model
Can buy it brand new from Valve for a lot cheaper and Valve haven't dropped in multiple times

Though if you live in America
It'll probably get stolen by FedEx drivers

There are so many people who think that plasma desktop was made specifically for the Steam Deck

I mean, fair enough
If you only used Linux on the Deck
And you go to the desktop it calls it "Desktop Mode" so you'd think it's something Valve made

[fringe salmon]

how did you determine that there are a lot of them

[fading spade]

I've seen people say that all over YouTube comments / videos
And even in the subreddit

[feral ferry]

So, videos with 10 views and subreddits where like 4 people are active

Massive demographic

[fading spade]

LOL

[fading spade]

WHY DIDNT I REALISE SOONER TITANFALL 2 IS BUILT IN SOURCE ENGINE

NO WONDER IT FEELS THE SAME TO CONTROL AS OTHER SOURCE GAMES

And Apex wow

[orchid prism]

It's TECHNICALLY build in source. A completely gutted version.

[fading spade]

Yeah, I figured it would have to modified a lot

gosh damn , OG Xbox has 500mb ram only

[orchid prism]

64mb

You're thinking of the 360.

[fading spade]

oh wait yeh

I played bf3 on the 360, gosh damn, howd they deal with such little ram?

[orchid prism]

VERY efficient streaming of assets and purging them from RAM the instant they aren't needed.

Unreal Engine is a great example of this. Remember how textures seem to load in live and improve over a few seconds? Imagine how everything you're not looking at goes the opposite way.

In view? High or medium texture.
Out of sight? Drop it and get ready to re-stream it if needed.

This is where consoles have a big benefit - Everyone has the same exact machine. So optimizations reach everyone, and everything you do you optimize helps.

Now on a PC you need to have defaults for a 1060 and a 3080. And everything in between as well as options for the user to set a ton of shit yourself. And it might not hit perfectly for everyone.

[fading spade]

ye, PC gaming is like Android in a way, way too many hardware configs to make it truly optimised

Console gaming is like Apple, all the same hardware once a year

Soyny Censorstation

:')

Accurate title

[trim rock]

Or just go play good ol' Rage and experience them megatextures always streaming in when you see them

[hot spire]

They almost completely fixed that

[primal ledge]

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2022/10/03/doritos-rockstar-xbox-game-ultimate-partnership/

[hot spire]

Drink the verification can!

[primal ledge]

I wonder why its rockstar energry drink and not mtn dew

[trim rock]

And where's Dorito Pope

[primal ledge]

Makes me wonder if mtn dew isnt gamer enough anymore

[barren pewter]

real gamers drink shit

kinda wish it was red rain instead of rockstar energy

because I'm 95% sure that red rain is just discounted bad batches of redbull shipped to kosovo and bottled for sale globally

[wild wyvern]

less than an hour for ow to shut down 🙂

[feral ferry]

Oi oi

Doritos are nice

[barren pewter]

finally

that shit game needed to die

[trim rock]

Hell yeah OVERWATCH 2

[wild wyvern]

it was fun for me, just one or two quick games when I am bored or apex is down 😄

[bleak pike]

It was fun

[fringe salmon]

the marketing for whats just a patch is massive and I hate that it works

[bleak pike]

Mhmm

[wild wyvern]

there was marketing?

I don't follow maybe that's why I don't hate it 🙂 It would have been disgusting if they asked money from OW1 owners and yeah, that would definitely kill the game too, but it's free so 1,5 or 2, I don't care that much...

[fringe salmon]

the whole thing of calling it ow2 and acting like its more than a patch is marketing

[orchid prism]

They want to sell starter packs for the game - And the gamepass.

So it's just like launching another season of Forknife

[fringe salmon]

ya pretty much

[naive rain]

they straight up couldve just added a battle pass to ow1 and its basically all thats different

just money grubbin cause they in so much trouble with how shit their company is

[trim rock]

But isn't there like a PvE stuff now ecks dee

[naive rain]

not releasing now i think

yup

[fringe salmon]

yeah the pve stuff is next year

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/4ee544X2fTk

:')

The controller looks really nice though, sadly they cant be used on computers ;-;

[young hill]

They can be

But the issue is google limited it to wifi only

[fading spade]

.-.
Can / Will they unlimit it?

[hot spire]

doubt

my question is the hardware

all those amd server gpus

[fading spade]

Yeah...
Wtf they going to use them for now

[young hill]

They can definitely repurpose them

[young hill]

My bet is someone will reverse engineer the hardware at best

Sorry for the ping, I tried tapping no

[naive rain]

the controller was decent atleast

I used it wired for a bit until I found my PS4 controller again

[fallow bronze]

it is decent, and feels nice. But the big triggers are not analogue.. just on off.

And pc is wired only. technically it has Bluetooth, but that is only used for the initial setup.

[feral ferry]

Uhhh

WHAT

https://about.fandom.com/news/fandom-acquires-leading-entertainment-gaming-brands-including-gamespot-tv-guide-and-metacritic

Fandom???

Fandom the wikipedia site?

[fringe salmon]

yeah, better say goodbye to metacritic now

going to be interesting to see how fast they can destroy all the sites they acquired

[fallow bronze]

fanatical too? hmm thats a decent game deal site

[fringe salmon]

if it wouldn't be so sad it would be impressive how good fandom is at making things bad

[feral ferry]

I'm a bit confused

Isn't fandom just like a wikipedia thing where you can create a custom page for your media?

Do they earn a crap ton from ads or something to be that rich to acquire stuff

[fringe salmon]

they make really bad wiki sites, plaster them with ads, abuse SEO tricks to gain traffic so quality wikis and stuff cant sustain server upkeep

[feral ferry]

There are quality wikis that are not fandom?

Elder scrolls has UESP, which is better

Dark souls I guess has fextralife nowadays

Fandom is the go-to for most others, though

Cause they are maintained by the community

[small comet]

fandom doesnt make the wikis

users can make wikis on fandom

usually the wikis get abandoned fast tho cause maintaining a wiki with 1 active user is really hard apparently

who would have guessed

now the ads and SEO is smth fandom does do

[bleak pike]

They are anslog, you just need to regedit it

[feral ferry]

If you don't SEO nowadays you get fucked

Which funnily enough is an actual job that's quite popular

[fallow bronze]

you serious?

[bleak pike]

Yup lol

[fallow bronze]

hm, weird that it is not like that by default

[bleak pike]

Another way to do it is simply using 360 controller emu

It's kinda like the steam deck ok windows

Steam deck on windows will not work as a controller unless you emu it lol

It's not that weird tbh, the issue is why make full driver support when it's not their intended use? Similar to PS4 controller's, they don't just work a lot of the time unless the games itself have full support or steam emulates a 360 controller.

Only xinput is native or dinput on windows

[fallow bronze]

i had more faith in the controller implementation in windows

and the games using it

[bleak pike]

Haha having faith in windows is where you went wrong :p

[fallow bronze]

heh.. well.. maybe

[fading spade]

Isn't it the other way around?
Xinput is Windows

[fallow bronze]

so is direct input

which is part of direct X

[fading spade]

But Linux can use direct input also

[fallow bronze]

direct 3d etc

[fading spade]

When using controller in Linux it doesn't show the right icons for the controller
You just see things like "Button 1" etc etc

[bleak pike]

Windows supports Dinput, mainly for arcade controller's and shit.

[fallow bronze]

joysticks

[bleak pike]

That's the one

[fallow bronze]

pretty sure direct input is a windows direct x api

and x input being a newer windows alternative

[fringe salmon]

yes

[fading spade]

I'm just not liking not knowing what button to press on my controller because the icon just showed "Button 12" or something instead of the proper icon

[fallow bronze]

yeah, true

[fringe salmon]

its a generic api for any controller, it doesnt know what a "xbox" layout is

[fallow bronze]

is x input basically limited to stuff being a xbox controller?

[fringe salmon]

think so

[fallow bronze]

dpad, 2 sticks, start, select (or whatever these are called), abxy, shoulder buttons?

[fading spade]

I'm using an Xbox controller though

[fringe salmon]

ok?

[fallow bronze]

so, if you even want to use every key as an analogue input in a game with a wooting you'd need the direct input option.

or.. the wooting analogue sdk

[fringe salmon]

yeah

[fading spade]

Ooo
Changing the boot animation on steam deck is official now!

[fallow bronze]

that nice of them

[fading spade]

Drop your .WebM video here and it'll use it as the boot animation

[jovial coral]

that is very cool

[fading spade]

Indeed!!

[jovial coral]

maybe I ll put the gamecube type one in

[fading spade]

It's currently only in beta or preview channel

But it should be soon in stable

[fallow bronze]

not that i care about it enough :p

when do you even see that? only when theres an update

[fading spade]

Technically it's not the boot animation either
It's the steam loading animation

Instead of showing you the steam logo

[fading spade]

Aren't team17 behind rocket league?

Wait no

[orchid prism]

[bleak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/the-lion-king-scar-what-have-you-done-what-did-you-do-disney-gif-19870160

Now I'm going to be creative

[fading spade]

That's the theme valve added to Plasma desktop to make it look like old steam

I hate it xd

[bleak pike]

I'm on about the boot

[fading spade]

oh, I havent done it yet

People wanting 120Hz on the Steam Deck are being silly

waste of battery life for a gaming device

[jovial coral]

it would be enough for me if it had less input lag

[fading spade]

I dont notice that other than racing games much

[jovial coral]

for most games it's ok but rocket league is almost unplayable

[fading spade]

my cousin was playing Rocket League for like 4 hours the last day and he had no issues

[jovial coral]

but the frame limiter makes every game unplayable for me

[jovial coral]

is he actually decent at the game or just casual?

[fading spade]

he got to diamond something rank

[jovial coral]

diamond in rl is ass

I would know

[fading spade]

he got 2-3 goals in a row on comp match a few times

most of the time, until he stopped taking it seriously xd

I just downloaded 3GB of game update and the ptaching and verifying stages are taking longer to download the data .-.

TBF, It is on the SD card sooooooo yeah

but its a 22gb game

[jovial coral]

honestly if it s diamond in 1s that pretty good imo but diamond in 3s is basically a joke

[fading spade]

1v1?

[jovial coral]

y

[fading spade]

He was playing on my account since he doesnt have steam and I wasnt high enough level to play comp, so he did 1v1 to level up and then played another few 1v1 in comp once levelled up

[fading spade]

The KDE Gods are planning their next update to improve Deck experience

[bleak pike]

No idea what im looking at

[fallow bronze]

screenshot of a conference stream which has a screenshot of reddit

[fringe salmon]

if you forget a laptop but remember your steam deck when going to a conference you might want to rethink your priorities imo

[fading spade]

yeh

idk how that situation happens

[feral ferry]

I'm going to offend you a wee bit but

There's no way you are reading that text in 720p

On that size of display

[bleak pike]

It's actually very clear

Lol

[fading spade]

Yeah, just not the photo

[fringe salmon]

yea idk why you think a screenshot of a display from a distance would be accurate in showing what you actually see on the screen

720p is bleh but its still readable

[fading spade]

yep

this is google docs, you could zoom in

[fading spade]

He is also using a Deck to present this conference!

[fallow bronze]

heh, nice

[fading spade]

The widgets are new?! I thought these were always there

maybe they got a design change

[bleak pike]

KDE is still buggy af for me

Like right now I couldn't press certain parts of the UI for some reason no matter what application I had open

[fallow bronze]

gnome life

[bleak pike]

Amen

[fallow bronze]

im going to install pop-os on my new laptop i think.. 😒

at least.. try it

[bleak pike]

I wish my power button wasn't shit

But I don't wanna RMA for the power button

[fallow bronze]

ask for a new power button

[naive rain]

rma and get the next steam deck in 5 years

how is it still so backed up

[bleak pike]

What

[fallow bronze]

its aparentyl down to 2-3 weeks i read today/yesterday

[naive rain]

oh

thought it was still bad

[bleak pike]

They have supplies put aside for RMA and they've sent out over 1 million decks

[fallow bronze]

1 million units 😮

[naive rain]

my brother got the deck early and sold it because he wasn't even there to use it

[fallow bronze]

i like my deck.

[fringe salmon]

are you sure its over a million

[fallow bronze]

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/455068/report-steam-deck-ships-over-1-million-units/

[fringe salmon]

that doesnt add up, they had like 200k a month ago

[fallow bronze]

https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/xum64d/steam_deck_surpasses_1_million_units_shipped/

[bleak pike]

@feral ferry

[fallow bronze]

@bleak pike be nice

[fringe salmon]

that reddit post just has the same source

[feral ferry]

Looks like you are like 3cm from the screen

[bleak pike]

Considering over 1 million people owned the pre order back in June it doesn't surprise me

[fringe salmon]

again, they had 200k shipped out a month ago so 5x the total amount since launch seems massice

[bleak pike]

@feral ferry point is it's perfectly clear, even without my glasses I can read it at a decent distance if i was using it for shit

[feral ferry]

If anything the point to me looks like you have to be uncomfortably close to the display to comfortably read

[fringe salmon]

"They have crossed over a million" sounds like a million orders not total devices sold

[bleak pike]

@feral ferry you literally don't though

[naive rain]

tell this silly little guy to get glasses

[fading spade]

you literally don't though

[fringe salmon]

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2022/06/steam-deck-shipments-more-than-double-this-week-so-lets-estimate-how-many/

so a month ago they went from shipping 6.5k to 13k a week, that would have to be a lot more to suddenly hit 1 million in 4 weeks

[naive rain]

they just found the 4d printer

[fading spade]

I hate how everyone immediately is like "Yeah, thats a lot but nothing compared to Switch" .-.

[fringe salmon]

because its just a number to comapre to that doesn't actually judge it as something bad?

[fading spade]

The Switch was also sold in physical stores and Steam Deck is noty et

[fading spade]

People tend to think that "Units sold" = How well people like the product

🤦‍♀️

[fringe salmon]

ok but thats a conclusion you got from an article that does not even imply that

[fading spade]

Deck doesnt have KDE Connect preinstalled ;-; That would be useful for copying files

[feral ferry]

I hope you catchphrase that

[young hill]

Tell that to eSports players

[fringe salmon]

Wonder if the new Witcher will be with ciri, or the new school that the other Witcher is going to open

[young crow]

can’t take cdpr seriously anymore, oh well

[orchid prism]

Did OW1 just change into OW2? I can't download OW2 only OW1.

[fringe salmon]

think thats today yes

[sudden prawn]

Probably launch day troubles

[orchid prism]

Can't wait to keep referring to him as McCree and watch as people try and correct me.

[fringe salmon]

man youre like a year late or so

[orchid prism]

[sudden prawn]

Feels like people don't play him as much any more

And he was almost never a must pick in the competitive scene outside of beta/launch

[small comet]

mccree got a rename?

[fringe salmon]

yes because they named him after an employee and it was one of the people who would crawl under desks or do similar stuff

thats why you dont name characters after people in your company

[barren pewter]

Very nice

[sudden prawn]

Should have copied tf2 and just give generic descriptions

[barren pewter]

Exactly what I want in a video game

[fringe salmon]

should have copied tf2 and made a good game

[small comet]

u see i didnt know that nor do i think a game character should carry the weight of what someone did

[barren pewter]

^^^^^

THIS

[sudden prawn]

Revolver guy

[small comet]

cowboy

wild west man

[sudden prawn]

I would kill for a more polished team fortress 2

[small comet]

u mean tf?

[sudden prawn]

Modern polish

[barren pewter]

No such thing as modern poles dawg

all of em are 70’s relics

[sudden prawn]

Imagine needing to run a potato graphics config to get 300+ stable fps

[barren pewter]

no need to imagine

Although why bother with 300+ fps

I’d just settle for around 80
Then again, I’m not a competitive pleb

[sudden prawn]

Well at least stable 240 for my monitor

[barren pewter]

That’s fair

[sudden prawn]

The dispenser apparently has an ungodly amount of polygons

[fringe salmon]

sounds like 1.0 flower pots

[fallow bronze]

new humble choice seems worth it

[small comet]

whats in it

[fallow bronze]

deathloop

and a few other games that i dont really care about

[barren pewter]

Deathloop…

huh

[small comet]

so nothing i care about

[barren pewter]

I paid full price for that

Still haven’t beaten it

[feral ferry]

What sort of team size do they even have

[barren pewter]

But this goldenloop update has completely changed the game for me

[feral ferry]

That's a lot of projects to full develop + pre-prod

[fallow bronze]

some card game which a lot of peeps seem to talk about on reddit

[barren pewter]

Now I’m just hunting the golden trinkets that seem to function as two exemplars

[feral ferry]

Good games don't really get made in 3 years

[barren pewter]

Also the HALPS proto sucks

I’ve been playing it a bit too much lately

[feral ferry]

I think the one thing CD ProjR showed that is concerning is this one

[barren pewter]

The Yerhva is finally worth bothering with

[feral ferry]

So, a full fledged game, followed with 3 more in 6 years after

2 years for each game?

[fallow bronze]

hmm.. doubtful theyll make that schedule

no, 3 years

[feral ferry]

Ah, cause the first one's part of the trilogy

So 2 more

[fallow bronze]

release of game 1, then the 6 years count

[feral ferry]

Yeah that's still concerning, though

Eh that company's a mess though

Used to be respect worthy, now it's same shit as other big players

[fallow bronze]

was it ever though, witcher 1 and 2 were quite a mess too

and 3 also at the beginning

[feral ferry]

People liked W3 for some reason

CDPR talks a lot

[fallow bronze]

but they fixed a lot of it during its live

[feral ferry]

Or used to

And that talking has earned them praise

The big company that doesn't do big company things

Behind the scenes though, crunch crunch crunch

Why's this a movie

[trim rock]

Because

[feral ferry]

Ah, got it

Thanks ngh

[fallow bronze]

MONEY

[feral ferry]

You make a very compelling argument

So, who's the villain in a super mario bros movie?

Bowser or whatever that thing's called?

It's based on the game, right?

[fallow bronze]

maybe it is peach

[feral ferry]

I'd beat that 🍑 any day of the week

Anyone know how they look like though? Never played that game

[fringe salmon]

clearly toadsworth is the villain

and birdo the sub villain

[bleak pike]

https://mrpl.me/We6777b_rf69.jpg

lol

[tough jay]

Overwatch queue was always like this, once players got in it dropped quite fast

[small comet]

so

why do i need to reaquire all skins i had?

no one knows? cool

[bleak pike]

more interesting

[small comet]

ah yes

[trim rock]

So you can feel all that pride and accomplishment again

[orchid prism]

Literally never queued in OW1

[feral ferry]

This one pissed me off

[small comet]

so

[feral ferry]

Witcher 3 had a billion expansions

[small comet]

cp2077

never got some areas unlocked

[tough jay]

Usually once some patch hit or some server outage happened but it was not frequent

[small comet]

now theres a sequel planned

[feral ferry]

CP2077 gets one expansion and it gets yeeted

Game's not even close to finished

[tough jay]

Still played enough overwatch for some time to come across them a couple of times

They also conveniently happened during european prime time mostly.

[grizzled bramble]

Seemed like i had a good time with CP2077 lol

Very few bugs

[small comet]

i encountered way too many

i still had a good time

but i feel like the game still is not finished at all

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah something was missing

[fringe salmon]

the difference is that it was presented as a full game without issues that was delayed many times to fix the last issues

if it was the first release date and they say they fix it, people would've had a lot less issue wiht it

[grizzled bramble]

But i played the game when it released to like February

[small comet]

na its still empty

like

they overpromised

so so much

thats my main issue

its basically no mans sky

[fringe salmon]

idk I'm waiting for when I get a new gpu so I can get the game for 20$ and run it at decent framerate

[small comet]

but no mans sky at least gets all the shit they promised now

[grizzled bramble]

What GPU are you going to buy? 👀

Yeah No mans sky is better now

[small comet]

rtx8000

[fringe salmon]

depends on what I can argue with my workplace how much I can get from them for a home office upgrade

[grizzled bramble]

Waiting for Scorn and A plague tale : Requiem

[fringe salmon]

but I'm likely getting a 7800xt or w/e the name there will be

[grizzled bramble]

Nice 👌

[feral ferry]

Hopefully 7800XT is priced at 700$

[fringe salmon]

doubt it

[grizzled bramble]

Well sadly everything is raising in price

[small comet]

finally ordered the ram for my gf's pc

[fringe salmon]

we should go into #🔌│tech though if we are done making fun of overwatch and cdpr

[small comet]

so i got nvme, 2 1tb samsung sata ssds, a 2070 and 16gb more ram

People use gamefaqs?

[orchid prism]

Vexx doesn't play JRPGs clearly.

[feral ferry]

I don't

I guess that's why I don't use gamefaqs

[wild wyvern]

Broken sword 😄 I don't forget that stupid wine cellar puzzle, I tried every combination...

[orchid prism]

That damn goat!

[fading spade]

TIL that PCSpecialist are also in Sweden
and TIL that they make watercoolers

[orchid prism]

Rebrand* coolers.

Pretty sure that's just another Asetek cooler with a custom top.

[fading spade]

He replaced it with a corsair one

[orchid prism]

Asetek makes a lot of Corsairs AIOs.
(I should know - I used to work with someone at Asetek. Basically down the road 😄 )

[fringe salmon]

yes, as we went about last time pcspecialist just used the generic OEM builds some chinese company makes and rebrands it for laptops, coolers etc.

[fading spade]

ooo

Yeah

idk where they got the chassis for the laptop I have, cause I cant find it on any of the OEM sites

and looking up the company name on the underside of the laptop didnt get results

[fringe salmon]

quite often they dont sell them to customers directly, you wont find that stuff usually

[fading spade]

oh

[wild wyvern]

you played? what do you think? I don't know, feels like 1 was better feeling, might be that I am used to it...

ESG?

People are shitting on CDPR for this

"Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing refers to a set of standards for a company's behavior used by socially conscious investors to screen potential investments. "

So, it's a thing that makes a company work for their investors?

oh i do

she is just disabled in ranked games

[orchid prism]

[bleak pike]

wtf

She is insane

[naive rain]

getting those weebs off genji and onto support

[bleak pike]

the fuck

[fringe salmon]

first fortnite now ow, we're losing him smh

[ashen lark]

We already lost him

[orchid prism]

smh we used to al be OW crazed 😛

[fringe salmon]

yeah but that was when we though the game would be good and have a chance

[orchid prism]

[fringe salmon]

and we didnt really know how horrible of a company blizzard was

[wild wyvern]

is there a good company?

[bleak pike]

ive been playing ow since launch

[barren pewter]

No

[fringe salmon]

I mean there is a company thats just default levels of evil and then there is blizzard thats levels worse

[tough jay]

Was not following ow2 so getting characters for free, does that mean they do away with the whole level playing field thing

[fringe salmon]

its f2p so you gotta unlock them if you didnt have overwatch1 and get grandfathered in

[tough jay]

ah

[fringe salmon]

so yes, no counterplay at start so get fucked if you are a gamer that knows how to play and hasnt unlocked counterpick X yet

[tough jay]

still it was a core thing about the game it may have had loot boxes but anything functional is 100% equal from the start.
I thought they were just going free, didn't know they torpedo'd this core thing about the game

[sudden prawn]

they're basically standardizing all their games monetization

forcing the COD model onto OW

[bleak pike]

the flow is painful

[barren pewter]

Sounds like kidney stones

[sudden prawn]

apex isn't much better, but at least I find apex fun

[bleak pike]

Why is there no after report?!?

[trim rock]

Toxicity

[bleak pike]

i hate my team

[trim rock]

Don't we all

[tough jay]

Playing competitively, I mostly just started hating myself.
End of the day statistics tell me the reason I don't climb is me. I go by the assumption the failure is mine which is at least as toxic.

[wild wyvern]

still that?

for a paid game that's really stupid...

[tough jay]

They are getting ddossed so not 100% their fault

[bleak pike]

i was in intstant

tiwce

[tough jay]

with that it can depend on the region

[wild wyvern]

[wild wyvern]

might be, or they are just using excuses

Hmm... will have to see if she's more fun than uhh... whatshername. The one with the light and dark orbs. It's been too long man 😄

[wild wyvern]

I couldn't hit with her kunais, tbf only tried 10 seconds in deathmatch

but felt annoying

I give up now... maybe sometime later

[stable roost]

Just installing ow2 now

[fringe salmon]

my condolences

[fading spade]

\

[orchid prism]

I have it installed but don't see any time to play till the Weekend probably.

[sudden prawn]

[stable roost]

This is all only due to the DDOS attacks tho

[fringe salmon]

nah launch OW1 had similar issue due to the volume of players

ddos wont make it better but I doubt it's the sole reason

[wild wyvern]

it can't log me in at all... I hate this...

[stable roost]

i'm so bored of valo and apex. need more shooters

[sudden prawn]

Team fortress 2

[wild wyvern]

never saw any better than Apex tbh

[stable roost]

i wish titanfall 2 was active

[wild wyvern]

I believe there are still fan servers running

[sudden prawn]

Apex just need the Control mode to come back more often

[stable roost]

i dont like control

[wild wyvern]

Winter express - gun mode

[stable roost]

i saw that. haven't tried tho

[sudden prawn]

R5Reloaded

[stable roost]

i have it

flow state trainer is good

but still need to gather players yourself

might try the titanfall 2 fan servers

i just have little hope in them

[stable roost]

https://github.com/R2Northstar/Northstar this right?

[wild wyvern]

yes

last chance for Overwatch 2, if no logins still, I will play sth else

[sudden prawn]

I haven't even attempted to play OW2

[stable roost]

i tried just now too lol

i didnt even know it was out

until yall started posting

in this channel

[stable roost]

and the engagement based matchmaking takes a toll on you at higher account levels. the burden of being matched with lower rank players took a toll on me. i can't be expected to carry every game >_>

i made a smurf tho lmao >:3

[bleak pike]

[orchid prism]

[gleaming olive]

Why did he go with Biotech. Was RI. Now it's RIB instead of RIM. Regardless, cool I guess, but also not.

I'm still on the fence about the DLCs released so far.

They feel (IMO) subpar to mods. If anything, modding the DLCs makes them feel complete, but a well designed DLC shouldn't require that IMO.

And to note: some of the workshop developers for said mods have been paid by Tynan to develop art for them AFAIK (for the DLC).

[orchid prism]

They're mostly frameworks.

[gleaming olive]

Right. A lot of mods use them, which is why they feel more complete with them. Don't get me wrong, some of the ideas are definitively great, but for the price, I feel it's a bit high.

The base game in CAD costs $40 dollars. IMO even that's too much, then again, I think I paid for less when it was in EA.

[orchid prism]

Cheapest it's been pre-release is like 25USD

Tynan specifically said time and time again that he didn't do sales.

[gleaming olive]

Yeah. I'm aware. It seems I paid ~34 dollars.

The only time where Steam rocks: showing your purchases.

[feral ferry]

But

Is it shit?

I'm glad that some indie devs become so rich they can either

1. Retire for life
2. Make some wacky shit for games

Rimworld's ideology thing though from what I remember wasn't a good expansion

[orchid prism]

I love it - But mods definitely improve it.

Want to make a cult of cave dwelling cannibals? You can do that without needing mods to override base game mechanics. You just make your own "meme" ideology.

[hot spire]

you didnt play it much then!

[feral ferry]

I did play it quite a bit

I am judging it based on steam score

Last I remember it was mixed

[hot spire]

it has 9/10 with 2400 reviews

[feral ferry]

That's now how I remember it

[hot spire]

it was really buggy

lol

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/_OyC--5UQXs

UNO MAS levels are great <3

[gleaming olive]

Yeah Ideology is a cool concept but execution was poor. Thankfully a lot of mods fixed it.

[stable roost]

Soooooo is ow2 playable now?

[orchid prism]

Never look at DLC reviews.

So often they are exploited as a way to review bomb the main game 😄

[feral ferry]

Ooo fancy colour

[fading spade]

this is my favourite level <3

I got 17th globally wooo

[jovial coral]

anyone think this will be good?

I want another good nfs

[small comet]

not gonna happen

[jovial coral]

😦

[nimble current]

last good one I really played was underground 2

[jovial coral]

did u play most wanted?

[nimble current]

nope but I know many seems to like it

[small comet]

u see the issue is

with a franchise you usually have good memories from the past

nothing will ever reach those memories

[jovial coral]

well I still play most wanted and it s still fun if they just faithfully remastered it I would be very happy

[nimble current]

gotta say NFS 2015 still looks pretty sick visually tho

haven't played that one either

[trim rock]

Yeah that's a good one if you like fistbumps

[small comet]

like i replayed nfs:u2

on ps2

and pc with widescreen fix

and even that doesnt live up to my memories of it

[jovial coral]

I mean I never expect it to live up to my rose tinted glasses but I still enjoy the game a lot

but I wish it was a little harder now

I miss struggeling with it

[small comet]

theres 1 thing i do wish new NFS would go back to

simple tuning and racing

[nimble current]

NFS3 hot pursuit will probably always be my fav of the series

with U2 close second

high stakes/road challenge gets an honorary mention too

[small comet]

the new NFS games just try too hard with some rather uh.... weird tuning options sometimes

[nimble current]

although it was kind of a souped up NFS3 in many ways

[small comet]

actually liked carbons customizability even if it lost tuning options

[jovial coral]

once I finish underground 1 I ll play u2 didn't play it much as a child since I didn't own it myself

[nimble current]

I played them both at the time they were new

U1 was good, U2 is better tho

looks and feels pretty much like the first one, just has more of everything, and a sort-of open world you drive around to various races, garages etc

U1 iirc only had closed courses/tracks

[jovial coral]

does it have better driving

u1 is a little jank

[nimble current]

its been like 2 decades since I last played them but from what I recall not much changed on the handling side of things

its a tad janky for sure but still beats carbon imo

[jovial coral]

hmmm most wanted has vastly better handeling imo I ll see how I like u2 once I get around to it

[nimble current]

and especially prostreet lul

[jovial coral]

I really don't know why EA made nfs:mw 2012 .... well I do know: -money but it made me so hyped only to be nothing like the original

and now I wonder if I ll ever get a remaster

[nimble current]

EA did surprisingly well with the C&C remaster

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huDQKsxN4_Q

modding got you

[jovial coral]

ye playing a similar version to that but I'd really love to have it in my steam library

shame it isnt being sold at all anymore due to liscencing

[nimble current]

copyright and licensing agreements are the bane of cultural preservation

[hot spire]

there is a guy remaking UG2 in unreal engine

[small comet]

and 🏴‍☠️ is the bane of copyright and licensing

lol

not condoning it

but at some point after like 15 or 20yrs

i personally wouldnt consider it pirating

[hot spire]

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

[fringe salmon]

after certain years copyright and such also expires

depends on country and what form it was etc.

[small comet]

As a general rule, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years.

ok

[fringe salmon]

thats how we end up getting the winnie the pooh horror movie

[jovial coral]

[fringe salmon]

think some things are 25

or was that patents

[small comet]

patents ya

oh wait

no

germany specific

25 years from first publication or first public performance if copyright has expired before such publication or performance, or if the work has never been protected in Germany and the author died more than 70 years before the first publication[82]

[tough jay]

I wish someone would make a parasitic licence that voids copyright after 20 years. Though I wonder if it would hold legally. But that would be a badass way to curtail copyright.

[bleak pike]

@feral ferry it's not terrible

I enjoyed it way more than 4 and 5

[feral ferry]

Creation is getting a little bit more up-to-date

Looks like RTX should be a thing

So, upscaling tech too?

[bleak pike]

Creation needs to be scrapped

Period

[fringe salmon]

oh look, creation gets pbr rendering, something both unreal and unity have had for almost a decade

[jovial coral]

Oh please just make a new engine

Gamebryo is so ancient

Or at least use someone elses engine

[small comet]

at this point bodging in 3 features is prob more time consuming than a fresh engine

[barren pewter]

woah

I thought no one cared about it

[nimble current]

wow what a deal

[barren pewter]

I mean, my interest in the game dipped to zero when it wasn't on Steam or GOG

[nimble current]

one game for the price for 3

[barren pewter]

meanwhile I bought 5 and ND

for...

17 CAD?

yes, 90% off

both games were definitely worth that to me
maybe 6 will be the same story when it's on a decent platform

I'm cool paying 20 bucks for it, for a game that'll be a couple years old by the time I get around to it

[fading spade]

Oh this is neat

[bleak pike]

Wake on lan?

[fading spade]

Yeah, when he wants to use his Deck to stream from his desktop, he puts his desktop into Hibernate so this can wake it

https://youtu.be/jD-RvW5Gg4A

o hek, he has the same Alienware Alpha I used to use

[fading spade]

hmm nice nice!!

Valve would have to figure out a way to let games download while the screen is off, if Steam Deck 2 will have an OLED screen, cause leaving the screen on the downloads page for many hours while the game downloads will cause burn in :/

[trim rock]

Desktop mode

[fading spade]

desktop mode goes to sleep also

and stops downloads

[trim rock]

Make that only turn off screen, done

[bleak pike]

Yep

[fading spade]

Maybe yeah

[bleak pike]

That's what I did

[fading spade]

aha, I missed this Tweet

[fringe salmon]

oled burns in but it also doesnt burn in just because on one day you let it sit on the download page

we aren't using 2010 oled tech

[bleak pike]

Isn't free sync supported in general

[fading spade]

Yeah, but maybe not when Docked?

idk

idk anything about Gsync or FreeSync tbh

I thought it was on the monitor side

not the computer

[ashen lark]

Why would sleep stop downloads?

[orchid prism]

Because the PC is off...

[ashen lark]

My MacBook can download stuff when in sleep

Sounds like a skill issue

[orchid prism]

Odd - Google disagrees.

Sleep mode != screen shutting off

[ashen lark]

Shutting down != Sleep mode

Google says some downloads continue, idk what all but can test in a sec

[barren pewter]

bexin
we all know macbooks are just

...

better

[rancid hearth]

sleep mode on most computers = store everything in ram and shut down the rest of the PC except the ram

hibernate on windows does the same ish process but stores what was in the ram in a system file

[orchid prism]

No no. Windows has standby - low power mode, freeze RAM.
And hibernation - Freeze RAM, put on HDD, shut down completely.

[ashen lark]

Yeah can confirm update continue in sleep

[fringe salmon]

doesnt matter, nothing needs to happen, not showing the screen while doing something is nothing that cant be already done in windows or linux so the original point is moot

[ashen lark]

True tbf

[orchid prism]

I mean... updating the OS and having your browser running, downloading something are two very different things 😄

[ashen lark]

I don’t mean updating OS

Tested it with updating war thunder

Put it to sleep mode even before downloading part of update started

[orchid prism]

Then your Mac sucks, cause it sure as hell isn't going into a proper sleep mode 😄

[ashen lark]

Well it has efficiency cores

I would imagine performance cores go to sleep

While basic stuff still runs on efficiency cores

So not much extra power consumption

Way more convenience

[small comet]

its switch kinda sleep

[fading spade]

I need to make a tough choice in The Outer Worlds...

Ally with iconoclasts or MSI

[orchid prism]

I would have bought that if it was the MacOS updater doing its thing.

But I genuinely don't buy that WARTHUNDER of all apps made the effort to program their launcher to specifically interact with the MacOS to stay running during sleep mode 😄

[small comet]

wait warthunder?

unless its an appstore app i somehow doubt it

[ashen lark]

Well I just tried it

Also steam I am pretty sure is the same

[fringe salmon]

how is that related?

[fading spade]

We are talking about apps that don't let the computer sleep

[fringe salmon]

uh no not really

[fading spade]

Whatever

[orchid prism]

https://tenor.com/view/mala-mishra-jha-pat-head-cute-sparkle-penguin-gif-16770818

[fringe salmon]

its about it updating WHILE sleeping or w/e the mac os does

[fading spade]

I'm looking up online who to ally with

[orchid prism]

Prussia is usually a safe bet.

[fading spade]

Lol no
MSI or Iconoclasts

The Outer Worlds

[ashen lark]

Try Norway

[stable roost]

Managed to get into 3 matches in ow2. Tracking on 240hz is just 👌

[ashen lark]

Snow is cool

[fading spade]

I really hate how much loading screens this game has

[small comet]

norway?

[orchid prism]

More like Snoreway amirite

[ashen lark]

Good luck finding the polar bears lol

[orchid prism]

They're all up in Jan Mayen.

[small comet]

snolar bears

[ashen lark]

Polar bear wins against tigers

So gl Kenya

[ashen lark]

What game is that?

[orchid prism]

Victoria 2

[rancid hearth]

just disable sleep timers in power plan settings

[orchid prism]

Merch isn't as profitable as micro transactions.

Also... Warcraft movie

[fringe salmon]

cant afford a movie while you're still being a shit company that needs to deal with litigation now

[orchid prism]

Hah - That would probably be the easiest part. Hollywood LOVES throwing money at shit like this.

[fringe salmon]

i would like to say even hollywood would by now have enough scandals that they would not want to touch blizzard for now but we know that aint true

#🌈│wootabase_profiles here and in the webpage there are some

what?

🤔

[orchid prism]

iGPUs I assume.

Aka. Shintel

[fading spade]

Clearly the game supports AMD iGPUs

Cause it runs well on my Deck xd

[orchid prism]

Mhmm. Intel's low end iGPUs were REALLY bad and had genuine issues with rendering games properly. We're talking missing textures and weird shit.

[fading spade]

yeh....

Even on the Deck, there are strange vertical glitches lines in the game once you are in the world

but you kind of forget there are there once a race starts

Was replaying the advance wars game, just finished 2 and when I tried to play dual strike on my 3ds, well I guess I have to find out how well the third party batteries work

[orchid prism]

Oof. Teh bulge

[tough jay]

at least the bottom plate can flex so nothing broke

two option either they actually mean chipset so its not about igpu

or they dont know what it means so it just means lower power igpus dont run it since you basically cant exclude it via code to not run on an igpu or similar

[fading spade]

its a game from 2010 but only got launched on Steam in 2014

xd

I notice that in games that are Deck verified, they show the controller symbols correctly for the Deck
L[1-4] and R[1-4] etc etc, but in the game settings, it says it's using an Xbox controller

so how does the game think its an Xbox controller but uses the correct symbols for the Deck?

[fading spade]

Its over a year later and people are still angry you are required to login to your Steam account to use the Steam Deck 🤦‍♀️

[bleak pike]

There should be better offloem

[fading spade]

Ye

Valve cant do shit cause offline is being fucked over by shitty DRM

[bleak pike]

*offline

Other launchers do it just fine

oh wrong channel idk why it put me here

[jovial coral]

Lol at that point I could buy another 6700xt lol

I'm interested in their ml performance tho

[feral ferry]

431€ is not a good price for it

350 is not bad, though

[gleaming anvil]

Wait so does that mean you need to use data when you're outside ?

That kinda sucks

[orchid prism]

You can do an offline login.

It's the concept of needing an account at all that triggers people.

[gleaming anvil]

Ooh phew

Thought you wouldn't be able to play games while in the subway or such 😅

[hot spire]

speaking of steam, i dont know why but lately steam updates are killing my cpu

like 90% on 5800x3d

[orchid prism]

Downloading games?

[hot spire]

updates

[orchid prism]

That'll do it.

At least during.

[hot spire]

still its limiting my download speed now

caps out at around 100-120MB/s

[orchid prism]

Oh dear. How DREADFUL

[hot spire]

updates are normal 200MB/s

downloads 350

[fringe salmon]

what games?

might just be someone using a really bad decompression

[hot spire]

its almost all games

even like 50mb updates pin cpu

[fringe salmon]

hm

[hot spire]

still pins 8 cores is nuts

wish they had uncompressed option

[fringe salmon]

normally I would say that would eat too much storage for them

but then I remember games like dead by daylight and I think there should be laws agains that company ever using compression anywhere

[trim rock]

Yeah when you have a stupid fast connection it would be faster to just download whole new files instead of deltapatching pepelaugh

[fringe salmon]

200mb update on DbD, takes me some seconds, then my 5600x works legit 10 minutes to decompress and patch it with SSD at a constant 100% load

maybe it was just 9, but it is that long for the tiniest of patches

[hot spire]

yeah its crazy

they want to save on transit costs

[trim rock]

So you can spend more on SSDs when all the deltapatching burns through those precious writes

[small comet]

50mb download or 50mb update

a lot of unreal games really like to download small updates and repack everything locally

[fringe salmon]

default unreal compression is not that awful

its heavy but not that bad

[small comet]

ya but it pins cpu for a few gb

when the downlaod was like 20mb

[fading spade]

The Switch also can update it's dock but ive never seen an update for it

so this is odd xd

[bleak pike]

Why would it need an update

[fading spade]

idk

thats why the feature is so strange

at least on the Switch, unless some TVs have issues? idk
