Minecraft Bedrock actually explains what the graphics settings do
Java needs this also
bleak pike
Whereas console is always 72 hours no matter where
So ye similar to elden ring I guess
But elden ring you didn't pay for early access?
bleak pike
Deluxe edition
small comet
i mean has anyone checked when the release for non early access is?
if its half a day late on the 10th
then its 72 hrs
bleak pike
Probably is gonna half a day late on pc too, nobbers.
fringe salmon
if both are the same rolling times then there is no issue at all
bleak pike
Not like they can't nudge the timer
The issue is console players still get 13hrs headstart booo
And pre load
fringe salmon
still this is entirely blown out of proportion because of the rest of the drama not because of the topic itself
bleak pike
Is annoying in my eyes and the only reason Im saying it
If I cared about elden ring at the time I would have been vocal about it too
small comet
preload isnt even smth im worried about
takes like 20mins max to download anyway
also its not an mmo
fringe salmon
why care about a few hours over timezones, if anything that means you have some people that would report if there is something gamebreaking early on xD
small comet
thats not whats happening quin
fringe salmon
thats what I thought about elden ring too, I'll see if something breaks and then I wait or if its works I dive right in
small comet
its releasing 14gmt for pc
and midnight for consoles
one is an absolute time
the other is timezone relative
in all honesty
console players are the ones shafted
fringe salmon
err yeah, started to confuse myself
anyway, some people have it a bit earlier, couldn't care less
bleak pike
takes like 20mins max to download anyway
It sucks for a lot of people though
small comet
¯_(ツ)_/¯
ill wait and see what console or pc players show and say
im not even invested in this monetarily or emotionally
fringe salmon
if this was the only negative thing about it so far, sure worth arguing about if its a good idea or not
small comet
i mean as far as i can tell i dont even know why theyd stagger it
its a singleplayer experience
the only thing i can imagine is piracy and modding
since those are way way more a topic on PC
fringe salmon
I think its valid to do so to catch potential issues with CDN or such
small comet
id personally trust steam, epic, sony and mircosoft enough
unless they upload the pc build last minute to the steam cdn
fringe salmon
idk, but could also make it easier for dealing with issue coming in waves and not all at once for support perhaps
small comet
id expect most issues on pc due to the varied hardware
fringe salmon
not sure how it would help anti piracy, but if it does sure go ahead lol
fringe salmon
was more a general thing
still remember being done with bl3 and putting it down and drm was still not done by then, was nice
enjoyed people being mad they couldn't crack it because they wanted it before steam release but not on epic 
bleak pike
Well yes but this time around empress cracked the newest version beforehand.
And she didn't really focus on BL3 till much later as she usually goes by personal taste or paid to do it.
But this time she's out for blood
fringe salmon
Yes I said it was a more general statement not about Hogwarts specifically
bleak pike
Ah
Well I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome of her promise.
It's so fun watching denuvo get fucked.
fringe salmon
If it causes performance issues sure, if not I enjoy people crying about not having it
bleak pike
Can't stand denuvo or WB, I still can't forgive them for shadow of war
fringe salmon
you know there is always the option of making them pay by not paying for a game and just not playing it?
bleak pike
Ended up refunding after the usual two hours because steam was allowing it due to loot box shit then cracking it because progress was horrid, took a break and re bought it on sale when they got rid off off the cancerous stuff.
fringe salmon
I mostly agree with gabes view that it mostly is a service issue, but I also dislike entitled gamers
if you dont like it, wait till you think the price is right or if its not, just dont play it
just like your case
if its shit, refund
bleak pike
Mainly cracked because it came with a hacked shop as progression was pretty much soft locked behind lootboxes.
But I got burned out from the normal version I didn't really use it.
And perf was better tbf
By a lot
novel umbra
still remember being done with bl3 and putting it down and drm was still not don...
to be fair afaik bl3 still has the most agressive form of denuvo we have seen so far
fringe salmon
it didnt cause me any preformance issues really so I am fine with whatever they did
hot spire
At least it got removed on bl3
mighty scarab
for anyone interested the dark and darker playtest has started today...free to join in for all
wary dock
slim token
hope the game is also ready
fringe salmon
neat, looks like I will wait a bit for some of the lag issues to get resolved and play it then
or rather, wait to see if the alleged performance issues are as annoying and then wait for them to be fixed
fringe salmon
thank god for credit card scams indeed
well on pleasents link I didnt notice any stutter when I hopped through it
no but if its the usual shader compile stutter that bad ue4 games have you notice that even in a stream without frametimes
small comet
so
i do somehwat dig the harry poggers game
but
why does every game noawadays need an armor system
with rarities and shit
fringe salmon
yeah armor system looks weird idk why the game needs it
but as long as its something you can just do on the side
fringe salmon
yeah dont think this stream is going to be the normal fps rate for most people xD
small comet
wait pc?
fringe salmon
either way just looked at some spots, looks good enough for me to be interested so now I wait for release if it works fine or has big issues
small comet
i mean this is basically the release
fringe salmon
day1 patches can fix a lot or make it worse lol
see dead space day1 patch causing issues because wrong file was patched lol
small comet
download early access and disconnect internet forever
fringe salmon
well idk if the current game runs fine at all points etc. either
fringe salmon
UI changes on day 1. Yeah that'll happen for sure.
nobody was on about ui changes?
orchid prism
I was responding to Tony's image.
And then based on your reply to that I assumed the UI was borked.
small comet
we are watching the same stream i assume
the one callum linked
it switched from mouse to ps control scheme right at the beginning once the perosn used the controller
vapid lintel
Why would devs beta test their game if they can instead get the public to beta test it at full purchase price?

and mere days before launch so whatever glaring issues show up can't be fixed
barren pewter
oh man, the fallout from 76
I was there for it, forged by it
the beta was such a dumpster fire
vapid lintel
The only game I've ever experienced to properly do beta testing was Elder Scrolls Online
The final game was garbage, but the beta tests were great fun
barren pewter
for Fallout 76
the beta may have been the best experience I had with it
it was as empty as final release
but I didn't have to interact with a ton of players
I was free to just explore a broken world
I assume included posters didn't get an update as well?
could have offered to just...send out new ones to collectors edition owners
"send proof of purchase and mailing info, and we'll send a revised tech tree poster free of charge"
would have been a pretty solid PR boost

assuming they don't pull a Bethesda and end up with all those details being leaked
fringe salmon
oh btw if anyone is using gshade for games, the dev is currently in baby rage mode and petty high school levels of adding malware into it that currently only restarts your pc but might do more in the future
small comet
so i just learned you can learn avada kedavra in the game
and it
kills anyone you cast it at

barren pewter
fucking lame
orchid prism
Everyone disliked that.
small comet
well it apparently has a negative influence
barren pewter
I assume that spell is genuinely really hard to come across
orchid prism
HermiOne will remember this
small comet
I assume that spell is genuinely really hard to come across
its a sidequest and 2 dialog options
orchid prism
The magical military police is en route to snipe you
barren pewter
well it apparently has a negative influence
killing people
negative influence impact
orchid prism
This but hogwarts
barren pewter
its a sidequest and 2 dialog options
and side quest is really end game?
small comet
its after the final story boss
barren pewter
honestly, the forbidden curses in the game really should be saved for the most appalling of evil shitheads on Hogwarts grounds imo
small comet
so its a choice and outside the main story
and yet i already have read that people want it nerfed
like... its THE curse to kill someone
the frick you wanna nerf there
trim rock
Killing is bad mkay
Probably makes new game + more spicy if you're just murdering everyone like that

That immersion can occasionally be broken by Legacy’s dicey performance, though, which suffered from just about every issue that makes IGN’s performance review team cry during my time playing on PlayStation 5. Those greatest hits include framerate inconsistency, weird issues where the lighting switches from too dark to too bright, aggressive pop-in while moving around the map quickly, and more. There’s even this weird thing where every door in Hogwarts has a brief loading screen. It’s understandable since there’s so much packed into this beast of an adventure, but the PS5’s promises of the death of loading screens haven’t quite been lived up to here as it’s clearly struggling to keep up with the spellcraft and whimsy of the Wizarding World.
Beyond the performance issues, Legacy is also a fairly glitchy adventure in general. You’ll probably fall through the map a time or two, or see a character or object get caught in the environment, or maybe even have the person you’re talking to just up and walk away from you in the middle of a conversation, leaving you to speak with the empty spot they were standing in for about two minutes. I didn’t encounter anything game-breaking or so common that you’ll likely want to curse its name, but things like this do happen enough to be an irritation.
ngl
that's fairly tame for a modern game
still absolutely unacceptable but it isn't HORRIBLE
fading spade
yeh..... .-.
small comet
well according to the rating the same guy reviewed it on all platforms
barren pewter
the fact it's a long game is pretty dope
it's not a full price 10 hour adventure
enjoyable start to finish is as well
assuming they tighten up some of the technical issues, they're golden
barren pewter
some games just naturally sidetrack you
had that in mad max
ended up taking me 90 hours to get around to completing the very short main story
barren pewter
i have a feeling it goes way quicker than 32hrs
probably tbh
honestly the only game I'm really hyped for that's coming out soon is RE4R
small comet
id estimate somewhere from 15-20 hrs

ps2 game recommendations? no popular games or franchises please
barren pewter
shadow of the colossus
fringe salmon
that is pretty popular I would say
barren pewter
grrrrrrr
some of the real PS2 gems just happened to be popular games or franchises
does tony want the bottom of the barrel?
small comet
something more... hated during its time
like beyond good and evil
which i 100%ed for the first time last weekend
small comet
that is pretty popular I would say
agreed especially due to its rerelease
although i did already play stabby stabby monster game
fringe salmon
there are probably some jrpgs that are almost unknown in the west so I would look at a list of that
probably some atelier games or so
dark cloud or dark chronicle was posted by someone on this server some while ago, never heard of that but ti was ps2
fringe salmon
think so
small comet
dark chronicle is dark cloud 2 so id assume it this
fading spade
I thought it was Link until I saw the title
small comet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Cloud
30bucks on ebay and sometimes without case or without disc

thats gonna be a bit hard on the wallet
and by the looks the same for the dark chronicle sequel

why is okami on underrated ps2 games lists....

Not really a spoiler anyhow.

I saw this and it creeps me out...

FUllscreen borderless is best mode... sounds still plays from the game when focused on other windows :D

fading spade
Im investigating the Investigation Sector
its a very creepy place...
I also dont know how the mission got activated cause I just walked through a corridor and suddenly it showed up
this Wake video is very weird...
he described wtf just happened
I also noticed since a while after I started to play the game... ALL the security cameras are on and they move with you to always point at you...
there is so muc fucking letters to read
I got like 7 within the same room
Yeah... this game's effects and whatnot are impressive :D
yeh
fringe salmon
doing the cameras and have them display stuff is not a difficult thing, that can be done in unreal 2 without any real performance loss
fading spade
uh oh.. this is what those infected with the Hiss say
fringe salmon
oh dont get me wrong the game has lots of cool stuff
fading spade
the more shit I read, the more I can assume what the redacted words are likely to be
The Investigation Sector so far is a whole lot of Alan Wake references I do not understand
cause I havent played those games .-.
Should I have played Alan Wake before playing Control?
wait... is this whole game the plot line for a book Alan Wake wrote?
fringe salmon
did you finish the story
orchid prism
fading spade
no
fringe salmon
then we are back to it either not being the case, or a massive spoiler so why not just finish it before asking
fringe salmon
then post it on your twitter tumbler or whatever and dont post it as a question on discord where people are likely to answer questions that are being asked
you will spoil stuff for yourselfs this way eventually
fading spade
totally not creepy there is a photo of us at the cord but from behind in the Motel... no not at all

Do these stack?

orchid prism
They add up together.

Ahti really can just go anywhere he desires around here

someone has to clean up all of the messes you leave everywhere.

It's kinda strange watching how much Wooting goes for the Valorant playerbase but not as much as the CSGO playerbase.
We are people too 😦
(Probably is because CS is less about innovation and more about what a pros feel good on?)
fringe salmon
its just didnt catch on with csgo
there was a time where you could move faster on controller and still make no sound and you could do that with a wooting on mouse+keyboard and barely anyone cared, valve fixed that some months afterwards
orchid prism
#SourceIsJustBroken
radiant willow
well, for my understanding doing the counterstrafe is way way easier on Wooting.
I guess the only "main concern" is that pros have some huge issue with new tech since they are playing on the old tech for over a decade (more than that TBF)
Pros are still use wack res because they are used to it.
The best player of the decade on CS:GO is using 4:3 stretched, because it is what he was used back when he started.
radiant willow
#SourceIsJustBroken
People is waiting for the Source2 since playing on DX9 is... well... just not optimal.
I'll put some content from CS on YT with wooting I guess. People need to know. LMAO
There is no way Rapid Trigger doesn't improve the movement even there.

I can't stand the french team, but, Magisk + dupreeh + Zonic = Half of Astralis, but this team isn't 1/10 of Astralis.
deft bloom
don't think any team can do what astralis did anymore
radiant willow
Apex need to go asap. No one can't do worse. Let Zonic play at this point.
radiant willow

That's for sure, that was the best team ever.
And I LOVED it, because there wasn't a "Star Player" but it was a full well-oiled machine. (or well lubed as should I say here!)

small comet
@bleak pike quick the last other d2 player showed up
small comet
that'd just be cheating for d2 lol
no?
mighty pumice
d2 aim assist works different for controller vs kb/m, if you could have a kb/m work as a controller in game you would get reticle friction on top of the normal bullet bending
people do it on console with xim and it is 100% cheating by bungie terms
anyway the keyboard doesn't convert your mouse input to controller so you'd either be able to move or look but not at the same time
bc d2 says one input or the other
orchid prism
You're making the assumption that the game allows controller + mouse input at all. Not to mention that the game won't just disable aim assist when the mouse moves.
small comet
also anyone can use a controller, mouse and keyboard on the pc
mighty pumice
anyway like i said earlier i'm mostly interested in the rapid trigger thing rather than the controller emulation
bc having the keyboard act as a controller wouldn't work for destiny n all
small comet
im not even personally sure if emulation is the right word
mighty pumice
fair enough
i picked the term bc it's a keyboard converting analog outputs to a controller mapping but maybe mapping would be a better term
small comet
i mean on a technical level it does the same as controller shaped controllers
take analog values and convert them into specific formats like xinput, dinput or ds3/ds4/ds5
mighty pumice
i'll call it magic
small comet
fuck drivers that get obsolete in some years
small comet
i mean many normal gaming keebs use drivers cause they have macro keys
mighty pumice
for the customs i'm used to most of the time it's programmed into the board firmware with qmk/via
idk how the driver situation works really
seems like windows just does that but all the macros are board brained?
im bird brained and mostly just solder shit so software confusing
mighty pumice
is wizard game melting computers?
bleak pike
Is this because of their anti amd stance
fringe salmon
they have good content and I liked a lot of things they did but it just gets annoyingly hard to reframe the content with the caveat they have rtx sli shoved up their rear
mighty pumice
Is this because of their anti amd stance
i seem to be out of the loop on that one, what was their stance there?
trim rock
RTX must be on else it's crap, DLSS is great everything else sucks
fringe salmon
they are some of the first people to get new nvidia cards because they make content that is marketing basically, not showing any of the downsides bc then they wouldn't get early looks anymore
mighty pumice
idk rtx is pretty much a gimmick but dlss is still better working and looking than fsr 2.0 imo, although fsr2 is close
mighty pumice
it's definitely good
mighty pumice
i mean "need" is a strong word
usually i prefer to be over 100fps in anything i'm playing but i don't "need" it
fringe salmon
I need it when I turn on rtx in control for example
mighty pumice
above 60 is fine but like
i'm turning on dlss or fsr if im getting 60
bleak pike
i mean "need" is a strong word
usually i prefer to be over 100fps in anything i...
Need as I aim for 120 min
mighty pumice
i never use rtx for anything tbh, but i mostly just play d2
and that doesn't have rtx
but if it did i wouldn't turn it on
bleak pike
Bungo did hint dlss once tho
Tbh D2 reflections and lighting used to be great
Fortnite for example gives me a shit ton more frames with dlss
mighty pumice
it would be super cool if d2 got dlss
bleak pike
I'm able to get constant 144fps with dlss
Even with the new one
I think D2 would greatly benefit from DLSS and FSR
mighty pumice
most of what i play is multiplayer so i'm just going for framerate lol
mighty pumice
I think D2 would greatly benefit from DLSS and FSR
yeah 100%
bleak pike
Because it's clear they don't give a shit about optimization
Ever since they left Activision and had to build the pc port themselves it's gotten worse and worse.
(They never used to Dev the pc build)
mighty pumice
who was the prior dev for the pc port? i'd never heard of that lol
bleak pike
Ray tracing can look nice
mighty pumice
i had heard they used ancillary studios for pvp and secret missions but not that they had a separate pc port team
bleak pike
who was the prior dev for the pc port? i'd never heard of that lol
Vicarious Visions
They also used a lot of internal Devs not from bungie under Activision
Which is why content has never been as packed as it used to be, eg whisper/ forsaken season.
mighty pumice
i mean yeah they had four studios instead of one lol
bleak pike
I'm sad tbh
Seasons are just shit
And they already confirmed the next few are just going to be the same and it's to late to change
mighty pumice
idk witch queen was much better than any other destiny dlc and i much prefer seasons to the content droughts of old
like seasons aren't the greatest content ever but they are better than literally nothing with a faction rally thrown in every month or two
bleak pike
Like D2 pc port used to be god tier
I used to run it maxed out on my 970... Meanwhile my 3080 doesn't push much more than I used to have on the 979.
bleak pike
idk witch queen was much better than any other destiny dlc and i much prefer sea...
Witch Queen was fantastic
But I'm on about seasons
bleak pike
The only thing getting better with seasons is story, the gameplay has been the same since beyond light, I feel like shadowkeeps seasons were better gameplay wise.
I mean look at this season rn
mighty pumice
i would disagree there lol
bleak pike
Great narrative but the entire thing is literally a copy and paste.
bleak pike
I said better
mighty pumice
building a teleporter for six months
bleak pike
I used to shit on the vex invasion
Back then
But it's way better than the boring shit we do now
And more visually appealing
mighty pumice
i think the only seasonal activity i've ever thought was decent was season of dawn's infinite forest lol
bleak pike
The leviathan was probably the only season I enjoyed
And that's because old content i enjoyed came back :/
Infinite forest and sundial was nice
We should choose our rewards, somewhat similar to menagerie.
mighty pumice
the guns raids and dungeons they've been adding with seasons have been great though and so has the story which is an improvement imo
bleak pike
I wish they updated dares to be similar.
mighty pumice
we need a real horde mode one of these days
bleak pike
the guns raids and dungeons they've been adding with seasons have been great tho...
Raids are just recycled.
mighty pumice
didn't play d1 + they're free
bleak pike
Dungeons are alright, this seasons dungeon was kinda meh imo.
mighty pumice
yeah idk not big on the mechanics but cowboy hats
mighty pumice
tex mechanica legendary weapons are sick too
mighty pumice
get them crafted weapons
bleak pike
I also miss my shooting range q-q
mighty pumice
we got a worse one back
mighty pumice

bleak pike
Though tbh the last few seasons I just did not enjoy at all so I didn't play as much.
mighty pumice
mighty pumice
AE fixes and slide accuracy nerfs helped pvp a lot
bleak pike
Never took it serious since.
mighty pumice

I stopped playing after finishing the vanilla story.
Peaked at 450? something gearscore

it was just that he was caitl's mentor
she even says he'd prefer to be remembered as the bad guy
mighty pumice
bleak pike

He's all bright and shit
He's just a farmer
Trying to live out his retirement
@orchid prism
bleak pike
Also red war wasn't that bad.
bleak pike
I think people start to hate it when we did it 3 times or so.
Since ya couldn't skip it
mighty pumice
yeaaaaaah
bleak pike
Just like how I didn't mind shadowkeep even when it was shit in the first place I couldn't stand it after the third time.
mighty pumice
idk i didn't like shadowkeep the first time
got to the end and was like "ok where's the rest"
bleak pike
Same
mighty pumice
there is no rest
mighty pumice
WQ was solid
bleak pike
But after doing it a second time
I couldn't keep going without losing my sanity
Which I blame on having to repeat Vs the quality of the expansion itself
mighty pumice
yeah i can't stand doing anything more than once in pve
bleak pike
And I think a similar thing could be said about red war
mighty pumice
other than like raids but that's a once a week kinda deal at most
bleak pike
I got it third try
I got eyes 2nd, 3rd 5th, 8th, 9th, 14th and I lost count after that.
mighty pumice
https://raid.report/pc/4611686018471648882

But I've dropped it 14 times

mighty pumice
i don't play a ton of pve yeah

When did you join
Because you've not done any leviathan
Also how does one have so little in garden?
bleak pike
Man
mighty pumice
and garden is bad so i did not want to do it more
mighty pumice

bleak pike
We usually have spare room for raids and shit
mighty pumice
i may or may not join
i mean the raids
i joined the server
idk there's not a ton of stuff from raids i want at the moment

grizzled bramble

It's the Deluxe editions, out on PC too
grizzled bramble
There's ways to get games cheaper
bleak pike
My friend won't steam share it, he's rude.
fringe salmon
you pay more but you also get a bit more, so its not purely paying for early game time
so its a grey area imo
bleak pike
Still sucks.
mighty pumice
idk preorder bonuses always struck me as a bit funny bc if the game is bad then you just paid extra for nothing
seems like that's not the case here but still
kinda a gamble
fringe salmon
I mean refunds exist for that case
so I just dont get people still saying never preorder
if it sucks you still dont lose money
grizzled bramble
I paid 58€ for the Deluxe, standard is 59€
mighty pumice
yeah my brain is still stuck 5 years ago when that wasn't an option 
mighty pumice
I paid 58€ for the Deluxe, standard is 59€
fringe salmon
and then there is the case that it could be a middle ground of pay 10 bucks more for stuff like this 3 day early access but the base game doesnt get a price increase and stays at 60 unlike some games that are higher
I could see that as a valid option to offer and not increase game price otherwise
dont like it, but I'm willing to compromise
barren pewter
My friend won't steam share it, he's rude.
why not just
not play that game
who fucking cares xD

who fucking cares xD
Don't wanna buy deluxe and I don't wanna support denuvo.
barren pewter
two great reasons to not bother

the only DRM I need in my life is devs making games so good that people actually want to pay full price

Basically a Japanese paper wall thing
mighty pumice
really happy it's coming to pc though
bleak pike
Steamdrm doesn't effect the game
Can be played offline and worse case stripped extremely easily
fringe salmon
yes that is his point
mighty pumice
check them further out, it's fromsoft
the game is going to run like shit
also the netcode is going to be bad
but i will still be buying it bc i love me some giant robots

Hi guys. what is the most optimal rapid trigger settings for valorant? are player's like yay/zywoos settings public?
hollow zephyr
Yeah
Kinda like tuning a guitar, everyone is gonna tune it slightly differently to what they think is good.
Indeed, the customization is endless
Though the amount of customizations can be overwhelming and intimidating to some people, so I can’t recommend it to everyone.
fading spade
The Wootility being really easy to use helps too
hollow zephyr
True, and the target audience of the 60HE probably makes it a non issue.
People looking for something like it probably already looked at things from razer and steelseries.
rose kiln
I guess, but people say this about fighting game controller layouts as well, but there are certain button layouts that are much more optimal for certain characters (in this case, most optimal for certain games) and i just want to make sure i don't grind a rapid trigger setting that is too low/high just because i find it the most comfortable initially
like i assume that the most optimal settings for apex are not the same for a game like valorant
maybe im wrong though, i just got my wooting rn and just trying to make sure, thanks for the input though

A lot of it will overlap, don’t worry.
Most of the keys you want specific stuff for one don’t interact with the other and vice versa. And the ones that do usually work for both.
rose kiln
A lot of it will overlap, don’t worry.
yea i set both of my rapid trigger settings to 0.1 and it feels great on VAL, which i was worrying about it actuating too soon

not as bad as other AAA games for sure

That isn't really something for consumers to care or speculate about. Let me see said agreement, and I'll consider it. Staff were paid wages on a monthly basis. They aren't freelancers who get paid only based on post-release performance.
nimble current
then you have companies like nightdive who actually wants to present a good job but gets screwed over by the publisher instead
ahh business
fading spade
its always the case of the publisher fucking over the dev company ;-;
Killed many good game series ;-;
nimble current
second most common cause of potentially good game deaths
small comet
most commonly they die
fading spade
whats the first?
nimble current
after the big soulless conglomerate buys up smaller proven talented studio
fringe salmon
That isn't really something for consumers to care or speculate about. Let me see...
ask literally anyone in game dev business how that is normal
yes consumers dont care about it, but if you argue if they got paid or not it matters
orchid prism
everyone does it
Okay - Show me 😛
fringe salmon
yes let me show the conversations and contracts that would make me breach nda or private info xD
orchid prism
Exactly. So remind me again why consumers should give a rats ass about supposed contracts.
fringe salmon
I just said it doesnt matter for consumers, it matters if you want to argue if sales matter for peoples money they get
orchid prism
Staff won't see a dime of those supposed bonus payments. They've already been fired or moved to different studios.

avalanche is a big studio that has done stuff before and will do more
they all still work there

hunt down lol
Didn’t know using a search bar counts as “hunt down”

cause the ads take you to a fake OBS website

thats a flaw of the way you install apps on Windows

well don't click on crappy websites and phony looking download links then
Quite simply this
