[barren pewter]

you have notes and a map

figure it out yourself
besides, it's not like control has a massive map lol

[fading spade]

HELP

this lab freaks me TF out

[barren pewter]

Lana...calm your tits

it's

a

video

game

the escape button is there if you need a breather

I've used it a few times myself

[fading spade]

ok....new puzzle... wtf is this? time to search every inch of these rooms

[gray forge]

i forgot about that one

i saw one that someone made even worse idk if ill be able to find it

[fading spade]

I love how there is just a random Newton's Cradle here we can interact with :')

uh...

[barren pewter]

especially with control

do not assume

it's a trip start to finish

[fading spade]

I NEED TO REBIND THE FUCKING GUN FORM KEY

WHY IS IT THE SAME AS INBTERACT??

[barren pewter]

it's not like fucking RE games where it's as simple as find a key, or object, solve easy puzzle, kill mobs, scavenge resources, and otherwise just move from point to point

[fading spade]

really .... you cant rebind it???

.-.

[fringe salmon]

because you dont really want to change gun when you interact with anything so there shouldnt be any issue

[barren pewter]

change gun is held

[fringe salmon]

you dont aim at the enemy and want to interact with them

[barren pewter]

you aren't going to HOLD interact lol

[fading spade]

my power is so great, I can attract and throw objects that are on the other side of a locked door... LOL

I throw this at the enemies... and now its stuck in the glass :')

really....THIS is the solution?! LOL OK lemme try it

[bleak pike]

GTX 1660

3600 i think? CPU wise

she could also be using her steamdeck

[fading spade]

nah, third person games on controller sucks for me

I do

but if it has performance like this on my desktop then the Deck wont be able to handle it very well at 1080p

I like the UI in this game...except the map

🤔 that second location got me intrigued....

[orchid prism]

Just wait till you find the clocks.

[fading spade]

I looked up at the wrong time....

[bleak pike]

seeing Lana this colour on discord feels weird

[fading spade]

there is another Newton's Cradle in this room too

🤔

why is this a thing we can interact with?

[orchid prism]

Please don't touch the artifacts.

[fading spade]

I hate that I accidently went the right direction when I first left the elevator to enter the research sector...

I could go downstairs or up in the main room and I went down cause it seemed like a side area... NOPE

now I gotta do all this main story before I can go back there and see whats upstairs

Found a document that seems to suggest that people who have OCD and are very self aware would be good candidates to be hired to work in the Bureau ....

[neat crypt]

[fading spade]

TIL that Steam Trading cards have fullsize artwork attached to them...

So I got this one from the Emilienator Card from CrossCode :P

and its my wallpaper now

[sonic vector]

someone play escape from tarkov here ?

[fading spade]

Imagine working on the Deck Verified team at Valve and you are at your work computer ready to load up "Gay furry hentai 3" on steam deck to check if it works properly or not

[trim rock]

What's not to like? You get to play degenerate games and get paid for it!

[fading spade]

Xd

[gray forge]

i think the game "sex with hitler" got verified

[slim token]

i want to know how that information is communicated

from those that verify said games, to those that want nothing to do with them

[fading spade]

Huh?

[fading spade]

OMFH IT ACTUALLY IS

[gray forge]

lmao

now whos the valve employee who verified that

[fading spade]

OMFH

[gray forge]

check if sex with hitler 2 is verified

[fading spade]

No thanks.....
:') I'm scarred for life knowing the first one is

[gray forge]

lmao

[fading spade]

Wtf Razer boards doing to cause Boot delay??!!

[hot spire]

usb initializing

[fading spade]

Hmmm.....

[random oak]

I've just realised how awesome the wooting analogue feature will be for games like warthunder where you have to guide missiles via the keyboard keys !

Can't wait next month to try it.

[willow quiver]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCFeW-fd30M

^ need a wooting for gunz <3 , if you like challenge this is def the most demanding and mechanically game existing

it's all about anim cancel , timing .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMPJ38mSkt0

[orchid prism]

Oh wow... Gunz. I played that decades ago I think.

[willow quiver]

well i over played it but restarted few years ago

also developing for it

Now few servers like FXP added ladder mode + they have tourney ( 300$ pool prize ). Which is awesome to see since 3 years ago it was dying since ijji closed

[orchid prism]

GunZ was created by MAIET in 2003/4

Yeah that tracks. 😄

[willow quiver]

yeah well maiet stuff is barely used nowaday, except the art

and name + map

XD and their very weird directx implementation

Way back you had to "lead" in order to hit your enemy which is not a thing anymore , you can directly hit enemies like all modern games

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/e5-SwggCAd4

Should I watch it or play it?? That is the question

[dreamy pasture]

play it

it was never a question.

[orchid prism]

I mean if you're into Resident Evil 4 and beyond, you'll probably like it?

[dreamy pasture]

guess that depends on your definition of decent. youtube vids seem to indicate it will run at ultra at 60-70 fps at 1080 on a 2060

(with DLSS)

[fringe salmon]

(with dlss) is not a great conditional xD

[fading spade]

my GPU is also nowhere close to a 2060

[fringe salmon]

its not that much worse

[fading spade]

wat??

but 2060 can do RTX also

[fringe salmon]

yeah but rtx aside its not that much worse

like 20% or so

[fading spade]

hmm

oh

[fringe salmon]

there is only like one or two skus between yours and a 2060, so the gap cant be massive

[fading spade]

ah

[dreamy pasture]

Im not sure what you have but some of the SKU jumps for Nvida are not small.

[fringe salmon]

not in the midrange

[fading spade]

I have 1660

[fringe salmon]

big jumps cant be a thing in the midrange or they would open free market spots for amd

and like 1030 ddr vesion is too far down for midrange too xD

[dreamy pasture]

the 2060 having access to DLSS is probably a bigger advantage than anything. Regardless of how you feel about it, it can make games playable that may not have been otherwise. In this case, the 1660 has to run at low to hit 60 fps, but the 2060 can have dlss on, and run at ultra and meet that same frame rate

[fringe salmon]

sure but without dlss its not too far off

[dreamy pasture]

2060 can run medium/high for 60 fps

without dlss

[narrow epoch]

DLSS can be better for games than without xD

Like DLSS on the new witcher 3 next gen update looks better with dlss on at 4k than with it off

[fringe salmon]

I mean I am not saying a 1660 is the same, it's just not "nowhere near" either

[fading spade]

I wonder what hardware the devs have in order to playtest 4k

[fringe salmon]

for gameplay you dont need to run at 4k and for art you dont need to run at 100fps

[fading spade]

uuhh

[dreamy pasture]

no that actually is a bad thing. If no one can run it, who do they plan on selling it to?

[vapid lintel]

*Have the capacity to scale fidelity up to a level that isn't currently mainstream
They should target the lowest common denominator for scale

[dreamy pasture]

so release it then

[fading spade]

nah, they want that short term profit

[fringe salmon]

targeting hardware that doesnt exist yet is fine if its not for the min spec

[fading spade]

yeh..that

I guess

I really need a headphone stand

I thought the textures didnt load in for me last night in one area I went to in Control

and im on medium settings

Control?

oh

idk why its so demanding

cause Naissance also has really large moving environments and that game is smooth as silk

btw....Play Naissance!!

Its best suited to playing in one sitting cause its pure fucking ambience

One level made me fucking get a panic attack cause of the music and shit

[fringe salmon]

and because that one looks like a game the wii can run if I'm looking at the right screenshots

[fading spade]

I can guarantee the Wii cannot play Naissance

xd

other than a puzzle I had to look up a guide to solve... this game made me feel emotions, spooked out, scared, very calm, chill af, panic attack, sheer confusion

[fringe salmon]

those aren't really things that need a beefy gpu to happen

[fading spade]

no, not at all xd

sheer confusion at both that one puzzle and also the giant glowing boulder slug looking things going done the walls at one level ...

[dreamy pasture]

the wii had unreal engine 3 games on it, so it is possible it could have run on the wii lol

[fading spade]

best played at night, in a dimly lit room and good headphones

o?

ChAIR

[orchid prism]

At least it exists.

[fading spade]

oh, that is how you type their name.. xd

[dreamy pasture]

I liked Shadow Complex but never thought of going back to it for some reason

[orchid prism]

I've replayed it a few times. And I still forget to get all items every time, forcing me to start over 😄

I seem to recall one specific item that's lost forever if you don't grab it during a section because the area locks off (a flood?)

(keeping it vague and spoiler less)

[fading spade]

im getting frustrated I cant make portal references to a friend on discord

CUASE HE HASNT PLAYED PORTAL YET

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

HOW DO YOU NOT PLAY PORTAL???

wat?

no xd

I played it on my 360 in the orange box and got the disc or portal 2 also for it

also played it on Switch when it came out on that

and PC of course

the fact there is stutter most of the time in portal 2 on the Switch is really surprising... that game is from 2011

.-.

its a really pretty game for sure at max settings <3

I love getting the white goo all over the place

:')

they had to know people would make jokes like that when they added white gel...

yes xd

https://youtu.be/tSwSjzjaVSs

hek yeah

[fading spade]

is it required to use EAC in your game if you plan to only launch it on Epic Store?

[fringe salmon]

why would it be

[fading spade]

cause Epic

They like exclusives

[fringe salmon]

you can disagree or dislike their decisions but they have logic behind them

[fading spade]

oo, the purple one 💜 I want a matching front plate too though

[fringe salmon]

there are plenty of games where you can play them even after removing egs because it has no drm since thats not enforced either

[trim rock]

Yes of course, much like how on Steam yer forced to VAC it up

[fading spade]

some games dont use any anti-cheat

[novel umbra]

I just want an alu one

[fringe salmon]

exactly

[narrow epoch]

some games may as well use no anti cheat because they ones they use are so bad 😂

[fading spade]

Like Distance :D which means you can use plugins on the multiplayer server

[fading spade]

yeh... xd

[fading spade]

TIL The Xbox Series S loads Dead Space Remaster FASTER than the PS5

The main selling point of the PS5 was the mega fast SSD

[fringe salmon]

so its a bug then

[dreamy pasture]

its probably just an unoptimization. If it did what they wanted it to do they way they made it, why go back and try to refine it?

[fading spade]

yeahh

[orchid prism]

Both brands use NVME ssds though?

(Both with terrible implementations)

[dreamy pasture]

I think Sonys is a little more convoluted than normal NVME.

[orchid prism]

It's soldered, so you're fucked as a consumer either way 😄

[dreamy pasture]

at least sony has m.2 expansion. MS uses a proprietary expansion format

sony finds a way to punch down on their customers in other ways tho

[novel umbra]

ms uses cfexpress

[orchid prism]

There's nothing at least about Sony. If the soldered NVME dies, the consoles dies.

The XBox uses a socket, which means theoretical replacements possible with clones - But it's super, super convoluted to get to.

[narrow epoch]

When the soldered NVMe dies*

[orchid prism]

You will never get me to lowercase the e in a four letter acronym like that 😛

[narrow epoch]

Oh I meant the if and when change xD

[orchid prism]

Ahh - Yeah exactly. Shitty longterm console to own 😄

[narrow epoch]

Also considering how small these drives usually are people are going to be overusing them installing games over and over again

[fading spade]

Xbox > PS

[novel umbra]

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804086218743.html

they even sell adapters for it on aliexpress

you just need a ch sn530

which apparently only is special cause it uses an x2 pcie interface

and not an x4 one

[fading spade]

games with cartoony graphics are just kiddy BS
LOL

HIgh On Life kindergarden play time

They spend luch breaks playing that game cause its clearly for kids because of the graphics!!

/S

[novel umbra]

oh the kioxia BG3 and BG4 apparently also work

[fading spade]

got some googling to do to figure out wtf those are

[dreamy pasture]

seems like CF Express is a mostly camera format?

[novel umbra]

basically

it replaces CF

but is pcie

[dreamy pasture]

well that would explain why Im not familiar with it lol

[novel umbra]

not super surprising

have seen it on some industrial PCs as well

the beckhoff embedded PCs for example

run off of them

[dreamy pasture]

I guess in context of consoles m.2 and cf express are both just as foreign or unknown

[orchid prism]

SSDs in general is only something this generation added. NVME or otherwise. So very new 😄

[novel umbra]

well m.2 is definetley more common, can't deny that

but it's not like ms just made up an entirely new format

[dreamy pasture]

I agree, but if all youve ever had was a console, youd have no reason to know what m.2 is

[novel umbra]

even though they use it in a weird way

well still easier to get

[orchid prism]

I wonder when we start to see PS5's solder services to replace the integrated one with a socket. Probably a few years after the 6 appears, or if enough 5's start dying out of warranty 😄

[novel umbra]

for a hobbyist the xbox is insane though

the series S is stupid good for emulation

[fading spade]

ps5 gonna be throttled once ps6 comes out

brand new 2023 conspiracy breaking the nation

/s

[novel umbra]

eh

[orchid prism]

Only 1440P though which only recently TV's started to do natively properly iirc?

[novel umbra]

still has like 5 years of lifespan left

[orchid prism]

I vaguely recall Linus ranting about this?

[novel umbra]

tf is this

[dreamy pasture]

the ps5 needed a patch to support 1440 and its spotty support for it at best so still some catching on to do there

[orchid prism]

An alternative to a lot of wires.

[novel umbra]

yea native 1440p is still few and far between

[dreamy pasture]

I think the xbox consoles do 1440, at least in some capacity that is great than what sony offers

[novel umbra]

well so does the ps5

[dreamy pasture]

the series X anyway...

[orchid prism]

I was referring to the televisions 😄

[novel umbra]

still support is bad

not sure about tvs

[dreamy pasture]

ive never seen a 1440 tv

[orchid prism]

I don't recall what the issue was exactly - Signal issues or just really bad upscaling due to improper 1440P input handling.

[novel umbra]

[fading spade]

The xbox's future is solidified as pushing low effort, no budget bullshit like hifi fucking rush

[novel umbra]

why would spamming on vents do anything

[fading spade]

it wont xd

there is only one fan on the back xd

[brittle ibex]

passive cooling maybe?

[novel umbra]

it might do a little ig

I still want an alu one

they make those for the switch ffs

[fading spade]

the JSAUX back cover has a heatsink on it over the CPU

[novel umbra]

link?

[fading spade]

https://jsaux.com/products/transparent-back-plate-for-steam-deck-pc0106

Id hold out a bit, they are releasing more colors soon

[novel umbra]

eh

it is fully covered though

so just acts as a buffer

[fading spade]

it seems to reduce the temps between 5-7C from videos I saw so far

[dreamy pasture]

where did this come from?

[fringe salmon]

oh get used to random quotes from videos or youtube comment section with no further info

[novel umbra]

[fading spade]

Jaywest something...Playstation fanboy having a mental breakdown over hifi rush

[novel umbra]

so is the playstations future solidified as pushing a single game every 2 years

[fading spade]

yep

[brittle ibex]

Hifi rush is apparently quite a fun game no?

[dreamy pasture]

it is

[fading spade]

nah, hes saying that if you are praising Hifi Rsh but hating Forspoken, then you are a liar and xbox fanboy

[fading spade]

yeh!! I wanna get it soon but I have so many games to finish currently

Forspoken is a better game cause it doesnt look like some PS2 game for kids

LOL

[narrow epoch]

oof

[brittle ibex]

My friend bought it without realizing it's on GamePass but luckily he wanted to support the creators

[dreamy pasture]

that is the opinion of someone that hasnt played or even seen the game lol

[brittle ibex]

You'll always get people who think graphics are the only thing to a game

[dreamy pasture]

even then, the game looks really good

art style is subjective, sure, but the actual quality and the way it presents is very good

[fading spade]

especially playstation fanboys

Id rather a game that looks like Hifi Rush that runs at solid FPS and feels nice to play over a choppy mess that doesnt look as good as it can because its trying to push graphics that are too intense for the machine its being played on

[brittle ibex]

I bought a PS5 and I didn't even use it for games it became my main plex player

not a ps fanboy though 👀

[fading spade]

🤔 wait... just for Plex??!

[brittle ibex]

I'm honestly surprised fanboyism still exists when nearly every game is multi-platform now.

[fading spade]

yeah...

same here

[dreamy pasture]

everyone wants to feel like they were smarter with their money than someone else

[fading spade]

yeah, purchase bias

[dreamy pasture]

well... not everyone... some people

[brittle ibex]

Originally I was going to play games but I used it just for plex. So I've lent it out to my mum and her partner because I can use an Nvidia Shield for Plex instead

[fading spade]

trying to justify your purchase

[brittle ibex]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fringe salmon]

or its just a smart guy because the outrage made you watch it and talk about it so more money for him

stuff like that is best just ignored

[brittle ibex]

Engagement sells after all

[fading spade]

you see, i didnt watch his video... I watched a video reacting to it and calling out the BS things

[dreamy pasture]

yea rage engagement seems to be the way of the world anymore

[brittle ibex]

People still don't realize any kind of engagement helps something so a lot of the time you are better off ignoring things you dislike.

[fading spade]

ok, im tempted to get this case... https://jsaux.com/products/steam-deck-carrying-case

the official case doesnt have space for the charger, especially with the massive UK plug

[dreamy pasture]

I previously dismissed getting a steam deck since it wasnt able to run destiny 2, ive since stopped playing that game in an effort to play things that dont irritate me, so I may need to look back into it

[small comet]

i mean you gotta say it looks dope when installed https://www.consolereparaties.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/postfix-v2_2-600x422.jpg

[novel umbra]

a lot better than wires for sure

[fading spade]

DAMN IT ;-;

JSAUX Deck case doesnt fit UK charger plug

[small comet]

but

isnt it usb-c

im confused

[orchid prism]

carrying case

[small comet]

ok but... why does it have a stand

[fading spade]

He literally had to stop and swap over to playing this game on console cause there were too many stutters on PC https://youtu.be/Okf5fhczAoU

[fringe salmon]

yes that is known, thats 2 months old where they said they had a issue that caused stutters when patching the wrong file when doing performance uplifts

[fading spade]

they solved now?

[fringe salmon]

yes since those 2 months

[fading spade]

aha

[bleak pike]

Still have my discount

[bleak pike]

You can

But tbh I just stream from my pc

[fading spade]

You can if you infect the Steam Deck with Windows

[dreamy pasture]

like I said, its not a factor anymore

[fading spade]

they still dont wanna add Linux to the anticheat

.-.

but yeah, its a fantastic device <3 <3

and more and more games are being supported

its a constant growth of newly added games :D

[fading spade]

dont want the case....doesnt fit UK plugs ;-;

[fringe salmon]

if you arent already looking at one probably best to wait for a new revision at this time

even if just for the upgraded screen and not a better SoC

[fading spade]

Yeah, probably but idk if there is any this year

the next one wont upgrade performance, we know that, not for a few years anyway

but Valve did say they want to make one with better battery

[bleak pike]

It does?

[fringe salmon]

we know the next revision is not, we dont know that a better one is a few years away or sooner

[fading spade]

it dont ;-;

a few reviews mentioned that it doesnt fit UK plug

why is my PC an option to stream the game to my Deck from???

my PC is not on rn

[bleak pike]

https://jsaux.com/products/transparent-back-plate-for-steam-deck-pc0106

Kinda cool

[fading spade]

yeh :D

I wonder if it is tricky to replace the front plate too

cause id love that also, get them both transparent

[bleak pike]

I got a new plug for my deck tbh

I can remove the actual plug

[fading spade]

ooo...useful

[bleak pike]

Modular

[fading spade]

is it the JSAUX one?

FUCKING UBISOFT BREAKING GAMES ON DECK AGAIN

Breakpoint wont launch for me

[fading spade]

130W

damnnnn

that could power the Deck and my laptop at once

[bleak pike]

Maybe not

[fading spade]

my laptop charger is 65W and the Deck is 45W

I hate games that are technicallyl single player but you still need to connect to a mutiplayer world to play it

WHY?

I dont wanna see random players around the place in a single player experience

[bleak pike]

Oh lol

My laptop is a lot higher watt

[fading spade]

oh

I assume you cant use C1 and C2 at the same time?

so maybe C1 and C3 for laptop and phone?

[sudden prawn]

I haven't played apex in weeks but ALGS is always a fun watch

[bleak pike]

If you use both 100w ports

They are 65w eacb

[fading spade]

why does breakpoint not tell you the name of the NPC before you interact to them??????

[bleak pike]

If all ports are used

[fading spade]

oo

oooooooooo

Breakpoint has FAMAS in it <3

I love the FAMAS

the blueprint is so expensive though ;-;

[bleak pike]

Sounds like you're a fanas

[barren pewter]

I don’t think they intentionally prevent their games from running on a deck

They just might not actively support it

Which is the more likely option tbh, considering it is a multiplayer game

[fading spade]

I found a solution....download the bleeding edge version of Proton experimental

now it works :D

now how TF do I use this god awful UI????

this game's UI is extra shit

[bleak pike]

" bleeding edge"

It's just called experimental

[fading spade]

thats what they call it

no no, if you download proton experimental, you need to go to the properties and go to the Beta section and select bleeding edge

then itll download the even more beta version of proton experimental

SHIT MY BIKE GOT SHOT TOO MUCH ;-;

got another 2km to my objective

fml

this game wrecks the Deck's battery life but fucking hell it maintains a constant 40FPS with a solid straight line for frame times

[orchid prism]

#lanaposting

[fading spade]

nah, im talking about ghost recon breakpoint

[bleak pike]

Shit game

[orchid prism]

Not adding context IS by definition Lanaposting.

[barren pewter]

You really watched that trial closely, didn’t you?

Are you that personally invested in two idiots abusing each other?

[fringe salmon]

it was better comedy than the fake trials on tv shows

and nice content for second monitor during work instead of just music

[fading spade]

using the drone and marking sync shot targets is so satisfying

Bivouac is an awful word

[orchid prism]

https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/ea-has-reportedly-cancelled-a-new-titanfall-game/

Well fuck....

[bleak pike]

Fuck same

Fuck Apex

[fading spade]

TITANFALL 3???? ;-;

GIVE

I NEED THAT

[fading spade]

Sync shot is so satisfying

[sudden prawn]

@wide epoch what do you think of update 3.2 on 2042?

[wide epoch]

@sudden prawn I like it, but I also was in the camp of people who did not care they changed the BF formula up, the classes being a thing without restricted weapons is a little weird

[sudden prawn]

At least they gave weapon bonus to encourage the "class" weapons

[wide epoch]

Think my brain just finds it weird because its like half assed and came pretty late

But I mean its BF, DICE has a track record of doing drastic changes late into the games life

[fading spade]

oo

[solid wind]

you think this performs best on intel gpus

[fading spade]

I think NoobPatcher failed

🤔 but it gave me an exe file so idk

0 bytes

[small comet]

it obviously is made for a different game version

[fading spade]

no... I need the cracked exe apparently :/

[fringe salmon]

not no then but yes, it is made for a different game version

[fading spade]

the game hasnt gotten an update since 2013...

what different version?

[fringe salmon]

if its cracked its a different version...

[keen halo]

[fading spade]

🤔

ah yes, Linux is just like Windows 3.1... a shell over command prompt

LOL

[trim rock]

Not entirely false though

[wheat kraken]

^

[fading spade]

. For example, you can browse through the code of SteamOS, even if the Steam Client itself is proprietary. Companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo rely on anti-piracy and locked-down systems to protect their game sales, and an open-source operating system may scare those companies off.

????

The games are still closed source
This argument doesn't make sense

[fringe salmon]

ofc it doesnt

because we have no clue what this is about

[fading spade]

From this article
https://www.xda-developers.com/linux-android-handheld-gaming-future/

[fringe salmon]

locked down os = more obfuscated = more likely it makes drm removal harder

idk, you can disagree or agree but it makes sense

[fading spade]

The quote also mentions Sony
Who make sure their games are Deck verified when dropped onto PC
Definitely not been scared away by the open OS

[fringe salmon]

source to that?

[fading spade]

This quote

[fringe salmon]

no source to sony making sure their games are deck verified

[fading spade]

Go on Steam
Right now

All their games they brought over from playstation are Verified

God of War
Both spiderman games

[fringe salmon]

ok but how do we know they made sure instead if it just happen to work

[fading spade]

Since day one?

Highly unlikely

Even Microsoft games aren't verified

[fringe salmon]

so?

[fading spade]

Microsoft don't want to their games to work on Deck

[fringe salmon]

ps5 also doesnt run windows so its a lot more likely they simply already use calls that either work on proton or at least dont use D3D features that are exclusive

so can just be coincidence

[fading spade]

It's some heavily modified BSD, right?

Proton doesn't work on bsd
So they had to port them entirely

[fringe salmon]

same with MS not wanting it to work on the deck, if it uses calls that proton cant easily replicate, then thats the reason not that they made it on purpose

yes I did not say that they natively use proton on the ps5...

[fading spade]

Yes
But proton can't translate bsd to Linux

[fringe salmon]

thats not the point

[fading spade]

So Sony had to port to Windows

And then proton can work too

[fringe salmon]

if you already use vulkan, you wont have the potential issue of DXVK not working

so no extra work from sony to ensure it runs on the deck

and no extra work from microsoft to prevent it

[fading spade]

Sony games were made to use Vulkan?

I guess yeah... It's BSD

[fringe salmon]

I have no idea if I'm correct or guessed wrong

but without any evidence we cant really assume what either of them do when they dont say it

and the original article is simply pointing out that it MAY scare them away

which is valid since sony might just ignore it while the sales are relatively low for the deck

[fading spade]

It seems playstation games aren't Vulkan by default
It's optional

https://www.reddit.com/r/vulkan/comments/fljz60/does_playstation_5_allow_using_vulkan/

[fringe salmon]

urghh yes that is not the point

the point is that its not windows and not using directX so it is less likely they just take directX for the pc version and then have specific calls that wouldnt work on dxvk or similar

idk if its pure vulkan or some evolution of PSGL

[young crow]

@meager stump

[meager stump]

ty

[willow quiver]

why would proton understand BSD it is very different permission wise, driver etc

dxvk is a translation layers , unless they add support for it , it wont work.\

As much i love BSD ( hardenedbsd or openbsd ) , i dont consider it suitable for gaming since the way most of distro packaging work

is for stability , security and far from aiming at cutting edges

[fading spade]

Never said it does.. That's why they had to port to Windows and then proton took over mostly

[willow quiver]

ideal for workstation

sec my bad , will scroll up more

i feel like i missed some of the poiint :P

Well i dont undertand why ps5 game would need vulkan etc im clueless about those console tho but there is no point into using a translation llayer like dxvk if vulkan is compatible . that sound like a bunch of conditional instructions that will be useless

unless they want to shit on the input latencies then that would be good

[fringe salmon]

vulkan was not the point, the point was they dont use D3D on ps5

[willow quiver]

what are they using , im entirely clueless about it

tbh

PSGL nvm

[fading spade]

They probably have their own shit for all that?

[fringe salmon]

idc what the name is on ps5, ps3 it was psgl which was some derivative and since then it got iterated on

they have different apits for high and low level access

ACG or so for ps5 iirc

[willow quiver]

alright i guess i will have to look @ demonsaw and other scene stuff

to actually find code to read instead of article XD

[fringe salmon]

its mostly NDA stuff anyway

[willow quiver]

Yeah but those make ppl curious

and they see it as a challenge most of the time

Just like when eijah broke blueray XD, Curiosity often lead to interesting stuff to read

[fringe salmon]

sure

just wont find much on it in most places since its not super special

but the point here was simply they dont use D3D so less likely they use D3D specific stuff that could cause issues for DXVK combability

[willow quiver]

Anyway dxvk even helps old games on windows . Im actually using it for old dx9 with the weirdest dinput8/realspace2 implementation

I ever seen

😆

[fringe salmon]

yup, intel use it instead of making their own drivers for older titles since arc doesnt have hardware for dx9 or older

[willow quiver]

anyway if they lock down steamOS we all know what will happen

homebrew

i heard they will start

[fringe salmon]

oh locking down steamos is not what anyone was worried about here

[willow quiver]

emulating it on ARC

or translation layers, saw couple articles both were saying diff shit lol One called it emulation the other translation layer which is totally diff

[fringe salmon]

no they used to run it by translating it to D3D12 but that didnt work well and was quite shit in many games to they scratched that and put dxvk in

[willow quiver]

yeah imo dxvk is neat , i literally dropped my idea of writing wine patch and couple other thing for an old game and it was best idea i had XD

[willow quiver]

the thing is gunz is special , updating it will ruin some aspect that make the game unique. That game has a non-ending skill ceilling and was a pure mistakes because programmer didn't know what the fuck they were doing

The ugliest code i ever seen, all programmer sins were in it

but this led to the most mechanically demanding games ever existing , if ppl think fortnite apm is hard or OSU hardest game :)

it's babycake

well we 200 retards

online atm

• couple other server idc

for a game that wouldn't exist if it wasn't of it community it is fine

oh well i guess being a pentester is the worse job, i wish i could afford good game

yeah i had fun on high on life amazing one :)

not free but cool

idk and still appreciate the game for what it is

I tend to avoid falling in silly cognitive biases that would prevent me from having a good overlook instead of being led by my prejudice .

Imo seen worse , internet is disgusting

grew up on efnet

saw worse, read worse when I didn't have a single hair on my chin. What does other ppl negativity bring to you ?

I just don't bother with news or following those nowaday imo'

or not filling my brain with useless shit

for ppl that i will never ever meet

say the person that blame an entire game that was prob written by more than 1 person

for a specific individual action that are bad but not worse than bunch of shits

I'm more concerned about stuff like canada gov abusing NSO GROUP

malware against their own citizen

or things that actually affect me

can't be bothered by the "news flux"

that's wasted time that i could invested on myself, working or anything else i stopped using my twitter for this exact reason https://twitter.com/atmosdaillkid #freeatmos

@flat frost ignorance is bliss

trust me

[orchid prism]

Just not their own citizens, if we're talking about China. Lot of visitors have been forced to install the spyware on their phones as well to be allowed into the country. Lot of whitehats have been dissecting the stuff.

[willow quiver]

Yeah actually china mastered they art of trojan horse at a whole other level

^ The phrase above make ublock + matrix # of trackers blocked sky rocket

Thank you tencent

@orchid prism Well just the way business are forced to comply with any requests

No matter if the business has the best intentions in the world and provide a great service . They have to

Trudeau love china anyway not surprising anyway considering his father was a special kind of it own as well

imagine that keychain of large business got compromised because their kids had app on cellphone + installed a video game on their pc

it would be ironic

https://tenor.com/view/sample-contract-nda-non-disclosure-agreement-gif-17773157

[fading spade]

Wtf is that app

Oooooofffffff

They've seen some shit

[thorny coyote]

Anyone know how to get the analog feature for the wooting to work on GTA?

Im trying to drive but it doesnt seem to move the car

How do I make it the active controller?

where do I find that?

yep its an active controller

Thank you ill have a look ❤️

[fading spade]

🤔

VESA mount for the Steam Deck

[young crow]

…why

[fading spade]

IDK!!

[young crow]

what problem did they solve with this

[fading spade]

it works with the DBRAND killSwitch case though... so if you wanna VESA m ount your cased up Deck...

then go ahead, I guess xd

ooo risky video my dude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq-pgYlK7Ow

oh, this is the Wii U version

nvm, slightly safer

[bleak pike]

Mhmm

Still risky tho

Nintendo hate everyone

[fading spade]

Even its own fans that host events to play its games

its games that are meant to be played with a lot of people .-.

[bleak pike]

Nintendo in a nutshell

[fading spade]

i wish they made the soundtrack for their games available to stream or buy

cause some of the songs are so damn good

and you can only hear them in game with the other game audio ontop of it

[orchid prism]

Not commercially though.

[fading spade]

hm?

[fallow bronze]

you can get them via other methods

[orchid prism]

We're talking about using anything Nintendo on YT, no? Owning the album doesn't give you any rights there.

[fading spade]

no no, if they added the soundtracks to the eShop or whatever as DLC like what happens on Steam when games offer their OST for purchase

using CEMU to play Wii games on Deck is wild

cause you need to run CEMU through WINE, and then run the game through CEMU

So its two layers of translations

Wine running CEMU through translation cause its a windows only app
Then CEMU running a Wii U game via emulation...

[orchid prism]

Apparently CEMU has experimental builds for Linux and Mac. But yeah not amazing to go through all those layers 😄

[fading spade]

the Linux and Mac builds dont have gyro yet and other features not working / crashing a lot

[hot spire]

Why cemu over Dolphin?

[fading spade]

tyhey are in beta stil, I would think

[fading spade]

dolphin does Wii U?

[hot spire]

Derp you said wii. And my brain went why not dolphin lol

[fading spade]

:P

[orchid prism]

Yuzu is Linux though?

[fallow bronze]

and again confirming the weird name of the wii u

[fading spade]

Yuzu is Switch emulation

[hot spire]

Also Cemu has had Linux builds for a while

[fading spade]

and yes, Yuzu works great on Linux

[orchid prism]

Yes - I was referring to just running the Switch version of Breath 🙂

[fading spade]

it doesnt emulate as well apparently

[orchid prism]

😔

[hot spire]

That was true a few years ago

Now it's about the same

[fading spade]

oo

The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe uses Unreal Engine...

yet it looks and feels EXACTLY like the Source Engine version of the game

fucking good job :D

[bleak pike]

So they went to a superior engine but decided to use a dates style?

Hmmm

[fading spade]

the sole reason to switch engine was to allow the game to work on consoles

not to make it look better

easier to work on consoles*

[fringe salmon]

it doesnt use unreal

[fading spade]

yes it does?

oh wait, its Unity

my bad

[orchid prism]

They specifically redid the entire game with as much accuracy as possible if I recall.

Which was a painful experience.

[fading spade]

yep and made the new content match the style of the original content too

[orchid prism]

I remember watching a stream with his brother and him (brother is a streamer) talking about this, as well as a ton of other things related to the game.

[fringe salmon]

yes lana posted that stream months ago and we had the entire talk about different engine already back then

[fading spade]

yeah but anytime I play the ultra deluxe version, its still ttrippy AF to think its not Source Engine cause it really does feel like it

I love The Line™️, its really funny

[orchid prism]

Right.

[fallow bronze]

ah yes that source movement is absolutely needed in The Stanley Parable

[fading spade]

id argue that the feel of a game is almost as important to a game / game series as the visual style and genre of the game

if CSGO or Minecraft felt different to control, it would change those games quite a lot

[fringe salmon]

in csgo you literally use movement to compete, I dont think the specific movement changes anything for stanley

[fringe salmon]

having never been into the older Final Fanasty games I only now figured out that 14 added a fan made remix of a theme song in FF4, 14 years later as the offical boss OST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1keUIXDa4EE thats the remix of the original and they hired the guy to make a modern version of it lol

[fading spade]

QUACK QUACK

found a secret room :D

I got into the Duck room... and it dissapearred and I hear it laughing ...

where TF is it...got to find it

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

FOUND IT, THAT BASTARD

I need to get back to the mail room...how??

[bleak pike]

@fading spade what did you end up doing to mansen

[fading spade]

Darling aint doing too well

looks tired AF and sick

[orchid prism]

What are you on about? Look at me! I'm tan af fuck baby!

Look at that sheen. And the deliwious cwispy sound.

https://tenor.com/view/hot-shots2-charlie-sheen-gif-19193288

[fading spade]

There has to be something with the Newton's cradles

If I find any, ill activate them LOL

just found another

I think I ruined something in the game for myself... .-.

I saw a reddit post about the cradles and what they are for and people keep mentioning some || Mirror World || and || Security Doors that sync open and closed with them ||

[fringe salmon]

this is why I keep saying play the game you play and dont look/ask for stuff midway through constantly

[fading spade]

I dont want to miss anything ;-;

[fringe salmon]

you're begging to get spoiled

[fading spade]

I feel im already missing out on a lot of stuff

[fringe salmon]

then just reply it if you miss something

games dont evaporate if you finish them once

[slim token]

you will miss out on stuff, and there is nothing you can do about it

[fringe salmon]

that is how most games are set up, you are not supposed to 100% a game on first playthrough

[fading spade]

welp now im back at the Motel

I solved the puzzle, got the key and opened the locked room and now im just back where I entered it from... was anythin meant to happen?

[fading spade]

am I supposed to be able to get across here?

[solid wind]

if you believe hard enough

[orchid prism]

To avoid spoilers - Yes when the game lets you. It will be obvious.

[fading spade]

i cant enter the massive doors at the top... clearly need to power soemthing cause there is a lot of pwoer cubes around the place

[fading spade]

True next gen graphics right here

[orchid prism]

They definitely didn't get the most photorealistic scan of her face.

But that's not really what you play for.

[trim rock]

Yeah you play for the RTX ON

[orchid prism]

But all things considered I'd say they hit pretty well.

[fading spade]

I love how they call this area The Clocks

cant imagine how many clocks are actually there

[orchid prism]

Oh you found the CLOCKS?

[fading spade]

YES xd

[orchid prism]

https://tenor.com/view/fun-this-is-where-the-fun-begins-anakin-skywalker-revenge-of-the-sith-star-wars-gif-26313467

[fading spade]

SO MANY FUCKING CLOCKS

[orchid prism]

You can miss this gem of a side quest.

[fading spade]

I just got done || killing Horowitz || and activated the next mission and imma quit there for the day

[fading spade]

reminds me of the Family Friendly Noose Song xd

https://youtu.be/VJe6LLoGgR8

LOL

ah yes

[bleak pike]

Didn't take long for you to bring this into 2023

[fading spade]

no, no he dont

The devs who worked on the Nether update totally didnt cry when we told them how many players actually visit the nether

OOOOFFFFF

[fallow bronze]

They made the nether more worth to visit... Right?

[fading spade]

Yes

sort of

[bleak pike]

Honestly

I still don't like the new Nether

I find it tedious and boring....

Modded is what they should have done

[fading spade]

I love the self aware humor in Mojang's videos

[vapid lintel]

I've spent a couple hundred hours on Minecraft and probably not more than one hour total in the Nether

[orchid prism]

I've spent infinitely more time in the end - Mostly on account on building a city there. Not a fan of either though generally.

[fading spade]

Yeh... that is a gameplay flaw xd

[orchid prism]

I wasn't even aware mansions were a vanilla thing tbh

[fading spade]

bruh

freaking hell

[fading spade]

Something is wrong with my game...

texture LOD aint working most of the time

same for the writin on signs and safe room doors

[wheat kraken]

God that dudes such a prick

[orchid prism]

You probably would be too, if you were in charge of keeping the crazy shit locked up, and everything went to hell 😄

[fading spade]

Yep

He also made a 69 joke...

[small comet]

im not sure how thats a 69 joke

[fading spade]

Cause he said it funny and laughed and then asked his guards if they thought it was funny

And they didn't

Ofc

[fading spade]

Apparently its safe to login to GTA Online now

Rockstar actually did shit to make it more secure...

who would have thought!!!

LOL

[vapid lintel]

Can people just like.... Stop playing GTAV? I want them to make the next one already

[fringe salmon]

wrong idea

if they stop playing then gta6 would come out when it might not be ready

[hot spire]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao1qVi5Qp3Y

[small comet]

i bet if youre the host you can still mess with everyone

[fading spade]

OH MY GOSH!! PLANES ARENT REAL!!

[small comet]

i mean

if you are part of prey

the helicopter isnt real

[fading spade]

why do I hear music and singing when im in the corner of this office

wtf

[fading spade]

how TF I get security clearance 6???

I cant do the main story without it

[fading spade]

Just a normal day in the Federal Bureau of Control

[grizzled bramble]

You get it while advancing the game lol

Don't know how far you are without spoiling stuff

[fading spade]

in terms of main story...I need to go visit || Dylan in the upper levels || but im currently saying screw that and went down into || The Pit || and collected || mold samples || for that person

and I also need to find THE LAST TWO FUCKING PLANTS

IDK WHERE TF THEY ARE .-.

ive searched every inch of central research .-.

[grizzled bramble]

The first thing you mentioned is the solution

[fading spade]

o.o

oh

Maybe I should leave side missions to after the story missions? xd

[grizzled bramble]

Naah just play it how you like 😀 👍

[fading spade]

I accidently found || The Ashtray Maze ||

[grizzled bramble]

The plants are a bit spread out though

[fading spade]

I assume I cant solve it rn

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah you need a thing for it

[fading spade]

Some document I found hinted at a || pair of headphones || that can make it possible to enter || those really loud noisy places ||

idk where to get that or maybe its in the story mission

[grizzled bramble]

It's story bound

[fading spade]

ffs

imma just do the story and come back to do side missions

cause I cant go into some places rn

[fringe salmon]

if you cant do a side mission because its blocked then it will not give you the mission or mention that its locked

you can do them whenever you get them

[grizzled bramble]

Yep

[fading spade]

I alreasdy got a few missions I didnt have the ablity to do

[grizzled bramble]

Some will also be a bit easier depending on gun upgrades

and such

[fading spade]

I cant find an item for Langthon cause its in an area I cant access yet but I found all the other ones already

[fading spade]

I hope ||The Pill || she got me to eat lasts forever

if this is a timed mission ISTG I will quit this game

[fading spade]

Found an abandoned room with a painting of us in it...

[fading spade]

I CANNOT FIND THE LAST FUCKING PLANT

[orchid prism]

Then stop looking and you'll probably find it later by accident.

Or look it up - fuck me.

[grizzled bramble]

You got those 2 is near the Cafeteria?

[fading spade]

idk

[grizzled bramble]

and the other 3 are close to the ''Safe place'' , should be 3 at the bottom and 3 up top

[fading spade]

hmm

ook

[bleak pike]

well this was a risky seed

[fading spade]

o.o thats spawn?!

currently listening to a 5 minute long song I found in a Lab

damn this song is a bop

YES

isnt the voice actor for the janitor the singer in this band?

[fading spade]

the combat music is so out of place in this game

[orchid prism]

I disagree - I love the heavier tracks.

And the one that plays during the maze is perfect.

[bleak pike]

this weeks last of us made ron swanson ||gay||

hue

[bleak pike]

This week's ep of walking dead is more like it

[fossil solar]

https://gamerant.com/atomic-heart-denuvo-drm-dlss/

Using DLSS to counter shitty performance due to DRM is awful

DLSS was a mistake

Studios should never have been given a crutch

[novel umbra]

the studio is doing some other odd stuff though

[small comet]

i dont think a studio giving jank statements means dlss was a mistake

[neat crypt]

dlss is pretty damb good

denuvo however xd

[fossil solar]

Expectation: DLSS will enable even higher fps for high refresh rate monitors!
Reality: yeah our game isnt optimized you’ll need dlss to make it playable

[fading spade]

IF THEY KNOW DRM WILL CAUSE SUCH PERFORMANCE HITS
WHY ADD IT TO THE GAME???????

[fossil solar]

Clearly they want people to pirate the game

[fading spade]

Ahha
That must be the reason

[fossil solar]

Because the best experience will be on the copies of the game that don’t have denuvo

[fading spade]

Yes

Like with resi 8 village

Xd

[neat crypt]

isn't that going to be single player anyways

what point

[fading spade]

No idea

[fossil solar]

To “stop” piracy

[fringe salmon]

They don’t know that drm will have performance impacts they said if there is any. Now that’s not why diss exists but that’s still only one game so far that thinks that would be a good reason so it really doesn’t mean others will follow that path

[fossil solar]

Doesn’t forespoken also run like crap and needs dlss to get consistent playable frames?

[neat crypt]

from what I heard yeah

since it also has anticheat

[fading spade]

MODERN GAMING IS A FUCKING JOKE

[fossil solar]

I think requiem rat plague tale game also had performance issues on launch

Indie games will save us

[fringe salmon]

Yes and neither forspoken nor Rat plagues issues are from drm

[fossil solar]

Yeah a general lack of optimization

[fading spade]

Indie games are great
Too bad most of them are genres I don't like to play

Metroidvanias
Beat em up
Pixel isometric action games

Farming sims

[fossil solar]

Why can’t all modern games run like Doom Eternal

[fading spade]

^

Right?????

[fringe salmon]

Lack of optimization in forspoken for example is also not because they have upscaling. They have the PlayStation version as higher priority where they don’t have that

[fossil solar]

Doesn’t PS and Xbox have FSR

Since they’re just AMD APUs

[trim rock]

Yes the consoles are why upscaling is such a big deal everywhere now

First with the old checkerboard rendering, but now they just use FSR yeah

[fringe salmon]

I don’t know the current state if that is an option yet for fsr2 or r just regular console upscaling but wouldn’t have been ready in time for the development of that game either

[fossil solar]

Either way, modern games run like shit and it annoys me

[fringe salmon]

It’s sadly just the usual bad game performance that square does in what feels like a cycle lmfao

Uses the ff15 engine yet that ram a lot better

But following that cycle FF16 is going to run great which I fully expect it to do lel

Not to mention their original answer didn’t even specify if it is denuvo or some other drm but ofc nobody would reach out to clarify that because that would require integrity and not just making quick bucks with a headline

• it’s coming from google auto translation from russian, so not even the best source for translation

that is true for now

but that will not be the case when we get better RT hardware next gens

though thats because the hardware for it is not there, not because of a lack of optimization

so same result but different reasons

[bleak pike]

Yup

And I don't love the indie game argument XD

I just don't wanna play indie games....

[fringe salmon]

id engine could be public and we'd have tons of games that will run like shit, engines isn't everything

[small comet]

im looking forward to beyond good and evil on my ps2

should release any day now

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

such a good input menu for controllers

[bleak pike]

Wonder when beyond good and evil 2 is gonna be finished

Or better if it ever will

[fringe salmon]

in hindsight I am glad I didn't get the job on it when I applied for it 4 years ago

[small comet]

is it even still in development?

also will there be a ps2 port

[fringe salmon]

hmm if there is a promise for it but everyone who got the promise is dead by the time it releases, does it still count as breaking the promise

[fading spade]

WAIT A FUCKING MINUTES

IS AHTI || A MEMBER OF THE BOARD || ?????????

HE KEEPS CALLING JESSE HIS || ASSISTANT || AND NOT || DIRECTOR || AND || THE BOARD || ARE BASICALLY THE DIRECTOR'S BOSS

He can also resist || The Hiss || without wearing the || HRA || and get through || The Ashtray Maze || due to his || Walkman ||

[fringe salmon]

if you dont want to play the game and just know stuff ahead you can just read the wiki idk

really failing to understand why you keep asking stuff that either will not be explained or will be and thus is an inevitable spoiler

[fading spade]

I'm near the end of the game
I think
Im on the way to the ||Ordinary AWE ||

I stopped at the control point

[fading spade]

yep .-.

[fringe salmon]

no

this is just so far away from what was said now it's getting silly

[fading spade]

huh?

[fringe salmon]

scroll up I'm not going to retype what I already posted about it earlier when it was linked

denuvo was not confirmed and dlss 3 specifically wasnt even mentioned anywhere by the devs

[fading spade]

its been confirmed by the CEO though?

not anything about DLSS version though

[fringe salmon]

the link they provide is them talking about drm and they do not confirm that its denuvo

[fading spade]

im responding to this

the CEO mentions Denuvo

[feral ferry]

These are old af news

[fringe salmon]

yes scroll up and I talk about it there

and the reply does not mention denuvo

[fringe salmon]

as I already was annoyed about here

"yes we plan to use drm" is not a confirmation that the drm is denuvo

[feral ferry]

What DRM will they use that isn't Denuvo

VMProtect?

Those are the really only 2 that are relevant

[fringe salmon]

idk all I'm saying is they did not confirm its denuvo

could be their own attempt

could be denuvo

[feral ferry]

You're right cause I went to look for the original interview, it wasn't specified what the DRM ishttps://www-igromania-ru.translate.goog/article/32266/Intervyu_s_rukovoditelyami_VK_Play_i_Mundfish_ob_Atomic_Heart_konsolnyh_versiyah_date_vyhoda_i_ne_tolko.html?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

[fading spade]

hhhmmm

[fringe salmon]

point is they did not confirm it

[feral ferry]

So some kind of idiot journo thought it was funny to add his own thoughts

[fading spade]

gg

[small comet]

steamdrm exists

very safe

[fading spade]

is it?

[feral ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-ratones-coloraos-laugh-meme-laughing-man-gif-24899295

[fading spade]

lol

[feral ferry]

I fuckin love Steam DRM

It's the best DRM to exist

Please, everyone use it

[small comet]

lana the fact u have to ask if steam drm is save

[feral ferry]

Copy paste cracks are amazing

[fading spade]

idk how good it is xd

but you dont notice it when playing so thats good

[fading spade]

why are GOG galaxy updates so massive?

[trim rock]

Because it's downloading the full setup and the software is a big ol chromium mess

[fading spade]

Electron.....ahh

[bleak pike]

Lol

Hogwarts "early" access on PC is not the same as console

[young hill]

Interesting

Two games now going into early acess

[fringe salmon]

rolling releases are nothing new though

[orchid prism]

It is quite the slap in customer's faces though.

Doesn't help that there's no preload either

[bleak pike]

It really is

UK release is 6pm

[fading spade]

Even Nintendo lets you preload... xd

[young hill]

Oh

[fringe salmon]

I fail to see the issue

with early access having a rolling release

nobody cared about it when elden ring did it

there is so much drama about the game, wait for the game if its good or bad and not something silly like rolling release for the early access days lmfao

[bleak pike]

The issue is pc is completely separate and 13 hours after

With no pre load

[fringe salmon]

for the early access correct?

[bleak pike]

Ye

Consoles get pre load

And earlier access

Than pc early access

[fringe salmon]

so the early access isn't the same world wide and its just for early access and not the regular launch

and nobody bat an eye when the elden ring regular launch was staggered, this is only an issue because the rest of the drama about it xD

[small comet]

i have a feeling itll suck

[fringe salmon]

maybe, could be

[bleak pike]

The issue is that PC is completely separate from consoles

It's stupid

[fringe salmon]

ok, it's been the same thing with elden ring and nobody cared

[bleak pike]

Consoles get their own release way before PC and pre loads.

[small comet]

wha?
no

[bleak pike]

But the 72 hours early access isn't 72 hours on pc

[small comet]

steam should be able to launch into the game with preorder on 7th

[fringe salmon]

aside from like 10 streamers that got an australian consoel to be the first to stream

[small comet]

that would be false advertisement

[bleak pike]

I don't think you get me Quin

No one cares about rollout, the issue is pc isn't part of it period.

[small comet]

pc is part of it

[fringe salmon]

and I keep saying elden ring had the same with pc and consoles having different launch times

[small comet]

quite literally on their own website

[bleak pike]

It isn't and they confirmed on twitter that dates are completely separate.
