Interesting 🤔
How tf is today's price so much higher
ashen lark
Almost perfect balance
fringe salmon
lowest game prices includes 90% off sales, today is the price of today with whatever sales are on or not
fading spade
I think today's price covers lowest cost ?
fringe salmon
if its todays price and the game is not on sale, it cant be lower than when the game was on 90% sale
rancid hearth
My account would honestly be more because of account level, unless they do account for account level in that price

And that isn't accounting how much somebody would pay for a 18 year badge

badges, inventoy of csgo/tf2 and such

The game is lengthy regardless

As for my switch, yes I it is opened up, no I never actually used it's online functionality
Mostly just haven't used my switch sinceI got a steam deck
Before my deck I used it for indie games, but I really only buy consoles once I can hack them.
Kind of silly but a I don't buy into a locked system kind of thing. I mostly played indie games on there and some first party
Didn't buy any because what's the point if you can't get updates nor play online

My first Nintendo handheld since the GBA was the New Nintendo 3DSXL.
I was...very disappointed
after all the hype
2015..playing games at 240p15-30fps
I tried a Switch too, after I got a great price. I enjoyed it a little, but it was hard not to feel really disappointed in performance still. Trying to play Astral Chain literally gave me headaches.
We're talking fast paced Platinum gameplay at sub 30FPS and sub 720p.
Combined with all those particle SFX
Nocturne in Ultrawide, uncapped frame rate and better audio quality mod. Verry nice.

The switch is quite outdated at this point
A new Switch with next gen graphx sold at fair price would be juicy, but Nintendo is content to sell the hardware with a hefty margin

The Switch was outdated in 2016.
Not a meme either, it was a midrange NVIDIA SOC that they used in a few devices, it was overpriced and never designed for anything so graphically heavy

Some caveats
Only multiples of 30 work. i.e, 165 produces a very jerky look

Do 150 and vsync?

Then there's transitions / load screens cause huge performance dips for some reason that don't actually end until awhile past them.
On top of that, there is some kind of strange artefact or graphical effect going haywire as it almost looks like it's not Vsynced

Nah nothing on Silksong's front
They are taking their dear time to release a wonderful game out
But the sentiment of "release the game in a good state" nowadays is dying off with Early Access

We just have more volume of games so the raw number of bad examples goes up

Yeah I did a lot of HK, but I went after the true end boss they released or something, the big dreamer moth one?
Died to it's first phase, googled, found out you have a multi-phase boss fight, like a lot of phases and no breaks between / gave up
orchid prism
I gave up after they added the pantheon stuff. I don't enjoy boss* rushes, and it definitely wasn't worth hours of frustration to see a slightly different ending.
still spire
Yeah
It was like crazy, I saw videos that it's like 45 minutes to 60 minutes of pure boss fight and if you fuck up, start over
I don't need that stress in my life, that dream castle with all the spikes was bad enough
orchid prism
That one I enjoyed - But only because it had constant checkpoints.
orchid prism
The monochrome castle with all of the buzzsaws?
still spire
But luckily that one charm that regens your magic bar + the healing ability allowed me to take as long as I needed
YUeah
orchid prism
It had constant checkpoints if you died per screen?
Not necessarily after each jump though.
still spire
No? You start right back at the bench.
orchid prism
There were definitely checkpoints in that one. Maybe you played an earlier patch?
still spire
I played last year so fairly recently

silksong can still be bad, delays dont make a game good, the quote was merely about that if you rush it out in a bad state, that will never change, a delayed game is still changing and can be good
still spire
It's only 2023
There hasn't been a patch that added checkpoints lol
But yeah basically I experienced no checkpoints; game doesn't actually feature them outside of benches...
It's like Souls
This game actually helped identify which of all my controllers had the best D-Pad 😛
orchid prism
When you say die - Do you mean after getting hit? Or losing all of your HP?
I think that's where we're getting mixed up. I'm referring to "dying" from falling into a pit or hitting a saw. Not a "continue"
still spire
After all your HP
Yeah

they require to verifiy your hardware on the system, but surprisingly they do offer a shell script to do so on linux
Still I probably will keep that game unplayed in my library for quite some time
especially since it's on the ea app
fringe salmon
thought you only need to have that as background drm and not actually run or install that ?
or does it still make you a log in you need to do?
tough jay
It's to get the game key from amd, you need to run a shell script to check you really do use an applicable amd cpu

severe compass
I don't think it's accurate to say Rust is designed to be hard to use, but that Rust is hard to use as a natural result of its aim to allow programmers very tight control. I mean it's meant to replace C++, a language not even the users loved, but it stuck around for decades

The Switch is an ergonomic nightmare
fading spade
He gave the point to the Switch cause its lighter so he didnt have to rest his arms on a table and the back buttons on the Ally being too large when resting his fingers on them
fringe salmon
Wait, people have personal preferences that might be different than your own views??? Impossible
still spire
Dude this is like him saying 2+2=2
fringe salmon
no this is him likely using it in a different way, be it other way of holding, sitting w/e than you so it's different
or just different size or shape of hands
fading spade
TBH, I agree
The back buttons on the Ally stick out so much its like they glued rocks on the thing
at least on the Deck, they form fit the back the back of the handheld
they stick out like 2-3mm
fringe salmon
ok but visually aside you cant really say how much you'd actually notice it without having tired it can you?
fading spade
my Deck and my controller have really slim buttons that I dont mind being there whenm im gripping the controller
but the Ally buttons look too tall from the back of it
oo it has a fingerprint scanner
Would be so nice to have that on the Deck

And all the console gamers have already moved on to newer games!
fringe salmon
basically what BZ was also saying the other day lol https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1814820736?t=3h59m27s
games used to target 1080p60 on a titan, now people think 100 at 1440p is unoptimized lol
fading spade
Redfall
Can't reach 10fps in intense areas on PC
fringe salmon
redfall is not the norm for modern games
fading spade
It is for AAA :/
fringe salmon
it really isnt
fringe salmon
it doesnt
it did for like a few days
and you cant fix bad game optimization in a patch 2 days later if it was actually unoptimized and not just some engine issues or wrong versions that got used at some point in the game
the game on release had like a near perfect GPU utilization
you cant optimize it more than have it use 100% of gpu cores at once lol
from someone in another discord who tested jedi on launch
to simplify it, the game at that moment near perfectly uses what the gpu can do
shader stutter is an unreal thing and they had some cpu side issues that got patched quite fast
I do agree that should be the case on release
but this is nowhere even close to redfall
fading spade
I never said it was a bad game
I said it was badly optmised on launch
Redfall meanwhile
Was both
Bad performance and bad game
Whirled ....
fringe salmon
again though, it wasn't badly optimized, it had basically some bugs/wrong settings that caused cpu loads which caused stutter, that's not really optimization
fringe salmon
wouldn't be surprised if some build pipeline dev was kicking his wall because someone overlooked a QC pass for compile settings and thats all they had to change basically
fading spade
I need to look up how game pass works
you pay for it monthly, and then you get to download and play the game as long as you keep paying?
fringe salmon
no clue, I rather buy games and give devs a bigger cut that way
fringe salmon
is that a comparison of battery life when doing different games?...
fading spade
yep...
indeed it is
a game that stresses hardware on Ally vs a game that does not stress hardware at all on Switch
its a draw....
fringe salmon
unboxing is a point???
fading spade
Yeah...
