fading spade
Lechonk is very chonk
feral ferry
Lechonk has a shit evolution too
fading spade
o?
fading spade
...
orchid prism
Equally 11/10 name though
feral ferry
I want to destroy every single lechonk there is
Idk why but their shit design propels me to genocide 
That's a hell of a sentence though
jovial coral
Pokemon game for less than 50€ new
feral ferry
Not worth
feral ferry
I am well aware it's not happening
I am also saying it's not fucking worth your money
jovial coral
What is worth my money is up to me to decide
feral ferry
Sadly that's not really how that works
Worth for money can also be measured by technical and gameplay side of things
And Scarlet/Violet is terribly technically flawed and lacks much gameplay
fading spade
there have been many things ive seen that are objectively not worth the money
not just subjecively not worth it
feral ferry
The technical flaws are a major culprit on why Pokemon have been shit on the past few years
It lags SO DAMN BAD
20FPS on a game like this is not acceptable
Shit game design is also not acceptable
Like things popping in your way as you are traveling and forcing you to battle
Abysmally bad Den game mechanic which has a real time countdown timer
Not a turn timer, a seconds timer
And then you realize the game wastes your time with animations and text for nearly everything
So you spend 10 secs just looking at animations before you can do anything
And then your timer runs out and gl next time, you lost
No settings exists to disable those either
jovial coral
That's just Pokemon
feral ferry
Terrible textures, bad texture pop in, horrible lag
jovial coral
I do hope animations don't suck this time
feral ferry
Bad area design where pokemon levels are just mind boggingly bad
It's not a well designed game
fading spade
👀
feral ferry
Is it fun? It's a pokemon game I guess, it has its moments of fun
jovial coral
Best move animations were in gen 5
feral ferry
But it's not a well designed, good game

This is an ancient reference to spider silk.
fading spade
The WireShitter
jovial coral
But it's not a well designed, good game
If no one likes it I'll be able to pick it up for cheap on gamestop later got ultrasun for like 30€
Still missing one of soulsilver heartgold but these things are so damn expensive
feral ferry
Game freak needs to be bonked by nintendo for once and be told to make proper ass games
Persona 5 works well on Switch
Zelda works well on Switch
How is Pokemon with 2010s graphics that look worse than fucking gamecube play on 20FPS
20 damn FPS
Terrible lag as well in some areas
Like what's wrong with Gamefreak
jovial coral
Gamefreak isthe answer to that
fading spade
Have you seen the Alan Wake Switch "remaster"??
that shit like 14FPS and looks worse than the original game
jovial coral
I do hate how pokemon nowadays has dlc tho
jovial coral
Swsh dlc is so expensive
fading spade
I do hate how pokemon nowadays has dlc tho
the animal crossing DLC costs more than the base game does ...
feral ferry
Pokemon on switch have been really bad sadly
Sword and Shield had some wank ass mechanics and while it wasn't really a bad game in general, it had some really "why does this exist" mechanics
jovial coral
3ds wasn't good either
jovial coral
3d era just bad
feral ferry
Arceus was a testbed with terrible story flow
Although I liked some of the game mechanics
Alphas and no need to fight pokemon was fun
And both of those mechanics were canned with Scarlet and Violet
fading spade
you can let your pokemon free roam with you :D thats so cute
jovial coral
Curious the best one was at the end of 2d era
feral ferry
Terastalization gets boring after your second encounter although it's a decent mechanic
feral ferry
you can let your pokemon free roam with you :D thats so cute
Useless addition
The pokemon are slower than you running on your feet
So if you run or, god forbid, use your mount, they will never catch up to you
You are forced to keep resummoning them for them to stay with you
A good idea executed in the shittiest, GameFreak way

The important part is if it's good for online battling
jovial coral
Useless addition
Shhh Let people enjoy things
orchid prism
hits ya right in the feels
Do I even need to post the meme?
feral ferry
Shhh Let people enjoy things
Enjoy a shit mechanic?
I would enjoy it too if it worked
Idk why they thought that being forced to walk for your dragonite to keep up with you is a good idea
jovial coral
People like Pokemon following them.
feral ferry
I also enjoy having my pokemon 10 km's behind me cause he can't keep up since his speed is that of a snail
Would be cool if they matched your traveling speed, an actually adorable mechanic
Nope, they travel at like 3 km/h when you are flying at like 50
feral ferry
How about instead GF should actually implement proper ass mechanics next?
Why even include a mechanic that DOESN'T WORK
feral ferry
Props where props are due
There is a single game mechanic which I actually liked in the new game
Auto battling
Throwing out your pokemon in let's go mode and having it hunt down the other pokemon, skipping the battle completely
That's the only reason why that let's go mode even exists honestly
Auto battling is actually good
It nerfs your XP rewards by like 5x at least, so leveling is not as effective as if you did it manually
But it's good for raising EV values, getting items and just doing pokemon genocide I guess
In the same time as you launched a manual battle, applied a first move super effective and killed other pokemon, you can autobattle like 6 times
jovial coral
Does it hunt specific pokemon?
feral ferry
Fine, EVs
orchid prism
I hate EVs as a concept.
feral ferry
Also random EVs are not a good thing
True, but in my case the EVs went to attack heavily after autobattles
orchid prism
All these weird eugenics and RNG concepts are just plain bad as I see them. Way too much grinding.
jovial coral
EVs depend on the Pokemon you ko
jovial coral
All these weird eugenics and RNG concepts are just plain bad as I see them. Way ...
Those are IVs not EVs
orchid prism
EVs are grinding.
Oh sorry - My Eevee killed a lot more speed pokemans than you did, so it gets to move first.
jovial coral
Thankfully they keep adding more ways to change those
And I like having unique things about your Pokemon
feral ferry
I will give GF a benefit of the doubt and say that the EVs you gain from autobattling are not totally random
orchid prism
I can get onboard with special abilities, cause attacks and stats never properly described specific pokemon abilities properly. Natures? No. Fuck all of that grind and RNG.
If I have a lv100 squirtle it should be identical to anyone else's lv100 squirtle. 😄
feral ferry
Since I mostly throw out my pokemon to autobattle things I am super effective against, it heavily spiked into attack
Really fast too
You don't lose any HP that way and you can autobattle forever
Autobattling also ignores PP values, so it takes your strongest moves and autoresolves with that in mind
jovial coral
I can get onboard with special abilities, cause attacks and stats never properly...
Why people aren't all the same why should Pokemon?
feral ferry
I imagine if you autobattle things you are weak against, it'll deal heavy HP damage to you, but also give you EVs towards HP/defense
For me it was heavily into attack/speed
orchid prism
Why people aren't all the same why should Pokemon?
Because I'm not a roman emperor using human slaves to do battle. I am playing a JRPG with numbers.
feral ferry
But honestly, I hate how many animations Nintendo throw at you during battles and barely skippable text, so I really dig autobattles
jovial coral
Also pokemon was conceived as an rpg it's staying true to that
orchid prism
I also can't see your pokemon's stats during combat. I have to guess your values, which is not practical in the short span of a fight where OHKs are the norm.
Goes back to playing Pokemon Blue
jovial coral
You can see your own pokemons stats in most of the games
orchid prism
You can see your own pokemons stats in most of the games
YOU - As in whomever you're fighting 😛
jovial coral
Pokemon online battling would be incredibly boring without ev spreads the only difference would be items and movesets
feral ferry
You can see your own pokemons stats in most of the games
Still true to scarlet and violet
orchid prism
Good. I'm not playing Pokemon, the eSports championship.
feral ferry
Good. I'm not playing Pokemon, the eSports championship.
People like pokemon pvp though?
Idk I just play the pokemon for the raw singeplayer game
jovial coral
Yeah you want something that isn't even Pokemon where each Pokemon is the same
orchid prism
Idk I just play the pokemon for the raw singeplayer game <:dogekek:8462852682893...
The problem is that as of recent Pokemon games the whole RNG shit also is applied to NPCs.
orchid prism
Yeah you want something that isn't even Pokemon where each Pokemon is the same
Oh you mean earlier Pokemon games? Yep. Thanks 😄
feral ferry
I think that's also a problem with the new boy
Certain NPCs hit considerably stronger than other ones
Although you barely have to interact with trainers outside of gym/team battles
jovial coral
Oh you mean earlier Pokemon games? Yep. Thanks 😄
The first 2 ones which were sorta ass sure
orchid prism
The first 2 ones which were sorta ass sure
Well now you've just insulted my entire childhood. I stopped playing Pokemon after Gen 2 😛
feral ferry
So I kinda LOVE that the old linear mechanic of being forced to fight trainers is abandoned
I hated the linear nature of old pokemon games
feral ferry
The new open world aspect where you choose what you want to do, is honestly fun
Again, I liked Scarlet/Violet
But it's rid with technical issues and is not worth its asking price
Also, 2 editions
Like why
They also locked Salamence/Tyranitar behind different versions too, so if you like one of them, you won't get the other
jovial coral
Well now you've just insulted my entire childhood. I stopped playing Pokemon aft...
They still have then why complain about games you are not playing I started with yellow too but I can recognise the newer ones are better at most things
feral ferry
Imo Violet version is better than Scarlet
orchid prism
They still have then why complain about games you are not playing I started with...
"I don't like the newer games because RNG"
"So why are you complaining?"
"Because... I don't like this aspect?" 😛
Pretty much skipped right from Gen 2 to Sword/Shield, which I didn't enjoy for so, so many reasons. RNG just being part of that pie 😄
jovial coral
Gen 1 still had rng
Even funnier gen 1 was buggy af
1/256
Spd = crit rate also really funny altho not a bug
orchid prism
Gen 1 still had rng
On attacks, yes. Not on the individual pokemon stats.
jovial coral

So you skipped from a bad game to a slightly less bad one 
orchid prism
We went to a system where Pokemon X could either survive or not survive a OHK based purely on hidden stats from the opponent.
But if that's your jam, spread it on that bread.
jovial coral
IVs make each pokemon you catch unique so the Squirtle I started with in leaf green is different from non hacked ones
Well "unique"
Still cool

the price difference is more than the price of the S

Devs might bitch quite a bit about S, but I appreciate S a fuck ton
fading spade
Is the X more than double the performance of the S?
feral ferry
It's cheaper than a damn Switch and is a good package
feral ferry
Is the X more than double the performance of the S?
It indeed is
fading spade
oo
feral ferry
S is, according to devs apparently, underpowered
fading spade
If the Series S had a disk slot, id be so tempted to buy one
feral ferry
Which it honestly is, it's like a One X
Just cheap af and affordable to more people than 500 to 700 euro Series X, Playstations and gaming PCs
fading spade
Series S is neat
fading spade
I really really want a disk version of it
I have a fuck ton of 360 games I wanna replay
feral ferry
Honestly with the little piece of shit that Switch is, you can make fairly okay games for it if they are optimized
I guess devs are complaining cause they can't be bothered with optimization
But it can easily play probably nearly every single game rn at 1080p - 1440p30-60
fading spade
I guess devs are complaining cause they can't be bothered with optimization
yeah, this is why they love PC so much
you dont need to optimise, you just got to tell people they need better hardware
feral ferry
I remember reading a thing at some point
That gaming FPS is not improving as fast as technology advancing
Basically back then you had to write fairly efficient and clean code that'd work really well on fairly underpowered hardware
Nowadays you can get by with shit inefficient code and it'll still work just as well
fading spade
Yep
feral ferry
Just with the caveat that you are still not improving the performance
Just getting away with being not good at coding
fading spade
this is why I love the Steam Deck
It's one hardware configuration, so if a game dev wants to optimise for it, they can do it easily, just like they do for consoles
Insurgency Sandstorm's class editing UI makes me mad
idk if my settings apply or not cause there is a "Deploy" button and a "Save Loadout" button
and IDK if it saves if you press deploy or do you need to hit save first and then go back into the loadout menu and deploy

So I finally broke down and got a PS4. Now my vita is at full power lol.
Can stream any PC game, ps2+PS3 and now ps4
Vita best streaming device 10/10
fringe salmon
but not ps5
hot spire
but not ps5
it can actually stream ps5
fringe salmon
from your ps4?
hot spire
vita
fringe salmon
yeah but if you got a ps4 I assume you did not have a ps5
fringe salmon
demon souls
hot spire
i can play og
fringe salmon
returnal though that has a leak that a pc version is coming
I'm going to get one for FF16 next year but yeah, overall surprisingly little still
hot spire
i got it for horizon and gow
as i got hooked on pc versions of the first ones
lo
but yeah
vita is just such a good form factor
and with moderned highpseed internet+5g hotspot
its great for streaming
and dat oled is cripsy
and you know fits in an acutal pocket
fringe salmon
heh yeah
hot spire
and with battery upgrade gets ~7+ hours streaming
bleak pike
Can stream any PC game, ps2+PS3 and now ps4
It's so shit though
hot spire
It's so shit though
?
bleak pike
720p stream that looks even ass than native 720p somehow
With latency because of 30fps over network
hot spire
its 1080p60
bleak pike
You can only stream 1080p from PS4 pro
hot spire
You can only stream 1080p from PS4 pro
its call jail break
fringe salmon
With latency because of 30fps over network
didn't you have a quest 2? have you never tried the wifi air link? we are not using wifi 3 anymore latency is a lot better for that
bleak pike
didn't you have a quest 2? have you never tried the wifi air link? we are not us...
Was amazing yes
But I meant 30fps on a controller is ass nvm that it's over the network
In general it feels ass, I stream games a lot including air link and it's stable af but ps remote is so bad
hot spire
ps4 just remoteplay
bleak pike
Or you are saying you are using a capture device and streaming from PC
PS4 remote play can only do 720p
That's what I'm trying to say
The hdmi capture thing I tried once and it was decent but that's not what I was talking about lol
hot spire
PS4 remote play can only do 720p
pro can do 1080
bleak pike
The pro yes which I said XD
bleak pike
You can only stream 1080p from PS4 pro
^
I also remoted my PS4 to my deck once, it was not nice.
hot spire
do you have good connection?
bleak pike
I believe the vita has some fuckery onboard?
As for pc idk but I had tested it via ethernet gigabit too
It was just plain awful
I think 30fps in general + over network is horrid
bleak pike
Even when playing on a TV I feel the latency with controllers
bleak pike
I think a lot of my issues can be summed up to 30fps and controller lately I'm not used to.
Took me ages to get used to controller lately with god of war lol
Back when that was out
bleak pike
I also do think the steam deck has an issue with latency at 30fps
hot spire
but ps4 controller on pc is shit
bleak pike
Irrc there's a mod out there for pc
hot spire
drop the deck down to 30fps display maybe?
bleak pike
That allows mapping the keyboard to work with ps remote
bleak pike
Wouldn't surprise me
hot spire
ive tried them with wooting
bleak pike
I used one for xcloud once
Was horrid
Honestly I wouldn't even be surprised if it's just my console that was shit. The fan needs replacing but I can't be assed buying one.
Or soaked in isopropyl.
The condition I got it in looked perfect on the outside but my god inside was fucking vile.
As annoying as it was it was still a fun little project
My only expense was having to replace the ribbon to get the disc drive working again

Nintendo have gone full corporate takedown more
theye gone after SteamGridDB for having images of Nintendo IPs
Ninty be scared that the Steam Deck be too much competition with them
that people are emulating their games
instead of buying the hardware
bleak pike
I mean it can't ever be to much competition
It's not being scared it's just them being dickheads
fading spade
I bet they worried about how to make their next console
Will it be another underpowered device?
fringe salmon
or maybe it was just using trademarked images in which case you are legally required to take action or you are giving up your trademark basically
feral ferry
Can't you claim fair use at that point?
fading spade
SteamGridDB doesnt use the images in any way
they host them
and you can search and download them
the website doesnt even hint at what you could use them for
fringe salmon
yeah that doesnt magically absolve you of any responsibility lol
fading spade
hmm
small comet
being a host of data doesnt mean you can do whatever you want
fringe salmon
also got no clue what the site is, only can go of the sentence that they host images so some infringement seems possible hence I speculated it could be normal legal reasons
small comet
ive sadly been through the wringer myself on the whole hosting images part
fading spade
Its a website that has box art for games and popular apps so that when you add them as a non-Steam game to your Steam Library, they will have suitable box art
and not just be black grids in your library
small comet
so it could be used to portray their products wrong
making it look to some uninformed people that nintendo sells their games on steam
fringe salmon
the website received DMCA takedowns for the following Switch games' images:
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Splatoon 3
Super Mario Odyssey
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
small comet
ya so only nintendo IP
fading spade
whoever downloaded them already is going to be able to make them available again
fringe salmon
could also be they just had some extra sites on the dmca listed that was mostly towards rom hosts or something who knows
small comet
you realize nintendo will keep making DMCA requests and at some point the website will make sure not to take those again
(was (at)lana)
small comet
they are going after their ip
small comet
the site isnt making money from them
doesnt matter
other companies dont have financial gain from their users calling their products lego either
but lego sues the shit out of this stuff
fringe salmon
could also be as I said and they went after roms and just also had this on the same thing and someone didnt check that it was only images
small comet
eh id believe it was intended
small comet
imagine some investors questioning why switch games show up in steam deck videos
hot spire
yheah thats normal shit
fringe salmon
just dont think they are "scared" of a device that sells a fraction of their switch sales and can only do nintendo games either illegally or if someone legally buys their game and rips the iso
small comet
not even then legally
you can not play a game "legally" without a switch console certificate
guess how you get one of those
fringe salmon
no I mean the buying part since then they still would make profit
small comet
ah ya
fading spade
I wish Nintendo brought their entire back catalog to Switch, charge you a few dollars per game or something
That would solve a lot of their piracy concerns
small comet
they wont bring their own IPs to steam
fading spade
?
small comet
and everything thats not theirs they dont give a shit where it is
fading spade
I never said they would
small comet
oh wait switch
fading spade
yes yes
small comet
they probably will or maybe not
fading spade
I know for a fact they wont ;-;
small comet
depends on if they can rip emu code from a foss project without being found out i guess
fading spade
other than the limited selection on Switch Online
small comet
good controversies back then for the wii
fading spade
Hmmm?
nimble current
nintendo is a soulless greed machine remaking the same half dozen games/ips every other year and their legions of fanboys just keep lapping it up
hope they choke to death on the landfill piles of broken joycon switch controllers one day
fringe salmon
yeah latest pokemon game shows they likely just need to give people more time, games seem really fun just rushed
but that might be a tough sell to change their menality there
sudden lava

haven't played scarlet and violet yet but I hope they are fun
I don't like the look of the new gimmick

jovial coral
I really wish they could capture the feeling the sprites gave in 3d
sadly they are incapable
fading spade
I'm shocked that Nintendo gave us the option to just buy the mariokart dlc outright
I was sure they'd lock it behind having an NSO subscription
I'm glad they didn't
jovial coral
they can't even make nice looking attack animations
nimble current
its like 3D is still a new and unfamiliar concept to their art team
somehow they manage it for games like mario kart
then they go and make pokemon which makes chinese mobile games character models and animations look like triple A studio material by comparison
fringe salmon
probably because gamefreak is not the same team that makes mario kart
nimble current
which is kinda telling isn't it
fringe salmon
that one team is not the other team? dont get what you are trying to say
nimble current
that they don't seem to care about qc on their products
since it'll sell millions to their gullible audiences anyways
fringe salmon
sure or maybe they do but also thought they couldn't push it past holiday sales since literally every merch, series, spin off etc. has to wait for the series to be out
idk seems a bit hard to know the actual reason from just guessing
fading spade
so starting off, your mom is very bouncy
Mayro - 2022
nimble current
which would imply they care more about those sweet holiday sales revenues than their fans getting a polished well-made product
fringe salmon
or maybe they have legal obligation and would be fired from their shareholders if they were to change it too later
nimble current
you'd think for a company so protective about their IP and its brand image of quality they'd want to maintain it, but seems like even nintendo is succumbing to short term greed above all
small comet
i think a lot of these release deadlines is shareholders
nimble current
right, its all about the fucking shareholders these days
fringe salmon
nintendo is not a private company, they can try and explain it to their shareholders and maybe they understand, if not then they would be liable
nimble current
maybe shareholders should take a step back and realize if you screw over your main source of income over and over so you can make the most money right now you risk alienating said source of income down the line and eventually lose money
small comet
yes but many shareholders are just greedy af
nimble current
but that'll never happen in their cocaine fuelled bliss
small comet
and cant wait
fringe salmon
maybe they would agree and dislike nintendos current path
my point was we can hardly say with certainty "this is the reason"
nimble current
well this is unusually sloppy on nintendos part
fading spade
Why is a Super Mario Maker 2 custom level called "Flying Cunt" really good???
They spent a lot of time and effort and its probably going to get taken down by Nintendo for swear words

Right Trigger Lock
Left Trigger Lock
🤔
hmm
The faceted dpad looks neat but I wonder how tf it feels to actually use
must be great for 2d fightin games where you need diagonals a lot
jovial coral
looks like a switch and not a button
fading spade
its a slider, one on each side
apparently changes the bottom out travel distance of the analog triggers
so if you want to make the travel shorter you can
fading spade
Ive seen someone use the Deck as a controller when plugged into a TV
it looks so strange to see the entire ass console used as controller
but still neat
jovial coral
imagine being able to afford a steamdeck but not a proper controller
fading spade
if youve never been a console gamer before, you probably wont have a controller

A ton of people have a 360 conteoller

I do know 3 people who use a controller rather than keeb and mouse on PC fulltime though
and they use Xbox wired ones
jovial coral
if youve never been a console gamer before, you probably wont have a controller
only consoles I owned before I was a pc gamer were gamecube gameboy and wii and yet I still have controllers
and no gamecube and wii controllers do not work with pc out of the box

Or was that something else

I liked baseball lmfao

I do not think I ever touched that
Bowling felt okay

I mean wii input was just kinda ass so all these games felt sort of wrong but other than that I liked them

the Wiimote was janky at times
the Wii Balance Board was TOO accurate....

The smaller controller was dumb yes

that thing is scarily accurate

nunchuck?
jovial coral
they both sucked because the tracking was just bad
jovial coral
nowadays we have great tracking with vr
young hill
they both sucked because the tracking was just bad
What sucked was the cursor
Anything else is fine I would say
I do not remember glitching
jovial coral
nah the tracking was legit pretty awful but it didn't need to be good to be fun
jovial coral
the wii was a great success for nintendo
young hill
I mean alright
fading spade
The Wii U was a neat concept
jovial coral
I don't remember a single good game for wii u I have heard of aside from breath of the wild
fading spade
I liked how you could use the screen on the controller to interact with the game on the TV
Or have the screen tell you information that you don't need to see at all times so it's not taking up the main screen
young hill
I don't remember a single good game for wii u I have heard of aside from breath ...
Lego games
