FIDELITY

[feral ferry]

They are doing some real-time lighting shit

It's good that they managed to squeeze out 30FPS at 1440p on a Series S somehow

Oh shit https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B0C7PKGRJS

It's actually in EU and cheaper than 299

[fallow bronze]

no pre orders

[feral ferry]

Nah I don't preorder, I just want the collector's edition

These sell out fast, and I never get one

Although I do wonder how many have they actually made

Collector's secured

[orchid prism]

[feral ferry]

I feel sad cause I loved Oblivion, Skyrim, New Vegas, Fallout 3 and 4 and never got the chance to get the collector's editions

(ignoring 76)

I feel super glad I can finally get a collector's edition for a game I'll play for hundreds of hours

[fringe salmon]

Yeah but if the series X does 4K should at least allow VRR if you can’t do 60fps at lower resolution

You can upscale stuff so the resolution isn’t that impressive in comparison to if you could get 60fps

[fallow bronze]

amd 5700 is the minimum :/
i got a 5700xt 😦

[feral ferry]

Well XT is like 10% or so faster than 5700

So.. you'll be fine I hope

[charred cove]

sad were gonna have to wait a couple months after release for modders to get it to run half way decent

[feral ferry]

X

This game has been playable for years now

They did a fuck ton of bug fixes by now

If the game launches "broken" I will eat my shoes

[charred cove]

i appreciate your un ending trust in a company known for doing exactly this

i am sure they have your best intrest at heart

[feral ferry]

I am also being realistic with how long this game has been in development from

Game looks noticeably less jank in the presentation

But still the good old reliable gamebryo engine

[fringe salmon]

Duke nukem wants a word with you

[feral ferry]

That's a whole another sad story

Obviously, it can be shit

Boring, bland, dull, broken

But I don't think it will be

We'll see when it launches

[fringe salmon]

If pc is not locked to 30 or 60 I’m going to try it, but if it’s locked no Chance in hell

The fact it’s locked 30fps on series X is just not a good showing

[nimble current]

but muh fidelity

bethesda be channeling our boi chris roberts

[charred cove]

id be very suprised if they fps locked pc

[trim rock]

Yeah its always been unlockable although doing so might make the physics fucky

[orchid prism]

Which is a design flaw more than anything else 😄

One they keep repeating.

[fringe salmon]

I mean if it can’t run higher it’s basically locked too

So well have to see

[charred cove]

they need to not tie physics based functions to the fps

[golden night]

you think people would learn to expect the worst from them by now

[charred cove]

its riddled with weird function call backs that add some ...... peculiarites (fallout and skyrim this is)

[deft bloom]

was pleasantly surprised about how the game looks, but as it's a bethesda game I'm sure it'll still be a mess on launch. planning to upgrade my pc at some point so maybe by then it'll be in a good state

[still spire]

You know I hate to double dip; but I just tried the FF16 demo, and I had credit on BestBuy that was expiring

Plus a coupon

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/895491109906710528/1117762717806243880/image.png

Hoping to beat it fast, then resell at work for like 50$~ or something used to another gamer person, won't be that bad instead of waiting a year

[deft bloom]

bong?

[feral ferry]

I'll wait if that game ever comes to PC

PS5 is a shit purchase

[deft bloom]

pre-orders 300€ starfield collector's edition
ps5 is a shit purchase

[feral ferry]

Imagine paying 600$ for a console

I'm not really buying the Starfield Collector's for keeping

Let's just say

Game collector economics at some point will 3x the value of it

So I'll just keep it sealed safely until someone buys it for like 3x

[still spire]

It's gonna come on PC, yeah

Lol Vex

I wish you luck in your reselling

[feral ferry]

Mate

I WANT A SKYRIM COLLECTORS

[still spire]

CEs really aren't like that anymore.

[feral ferry]

They are all gone

Nobody sells one anymore

I have seen one opened for like 700$

And another that had a broken statuette

[still spire]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285294627253?hash=item426ce289b5:g:EL8AAOSwc4hkaRFq&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4EOJEvb6%2BizmHyRodty56HUeAnnDZpldEH7EIuMVuLh656p%2FvE8djzmdN7ryGyGN3XtZoSyLLG1VklkKegJXRc7vUp6Jh0EIAsAyAwxuju2NW%2FHtVwjX2pGaOmbkAVXEwQUS8JOGnxTVFFygXYxkt1rhkEke8ihHHY7AQzZ%2BJawbGxrAGvsAEry66wLSfw6NuP70VGsd0f59GpwKoBIfUDL1451WIEFgqrFNhcfowCSrwf3O8InmR%2FoS6ijgMm7TWT8D12DRY37bUUILQen%2Bf7pwIgwgZf%2BP4%2B5eZpZ1Onj%2F|tkp%3ABk9SR_C4-PSVYg

Go 😛

Make an offer

So anyways, I wish you luck in getting 3x your purchase price. Maybe 1.25x realistically
Collector editions just don't...sell like they used to

haven't for years

[feral ferry]

We'll see, I wonder how many they have made

[still spire]

I mean I've tried that game with many popular games in the last few years, and all of them still sell at MSRP or just slightly above

[feral ferry]

I guess I'm somewhat relying on the fact that they are making a real electronical product they won't make a massive run of them

Maybe a few thousands units

[still spire]

Well you could just be like bulgers gate 3 where there was only going to be 10,000 of them that only 15,000 of them, then only 25,000 of them, and now I don't know because it's probably at like 50,000 plus

[feral ferry]

Usually figurines and co are like, easier to manufacture

They are making a genuine smartwatch that connects to your phone to display weather info and co

[still spire]

One of the most useless devices, but I'm serious when I say I wish you well with reselling it

It's not like it used to be with collectors sadly

[feral ferry]

Smartwatches are actually really useful though

I don't remember it having a heart rhythm meter, prolly doesn't, so it's more of a fancy wallhanger but it still has genuine uses for it

Like, I don't own a watch and I kinda hate them but if it can genuinely do watch things, idk, if it's comfortable maybe it's a fine wear

Although again I mostly want to try my game in reselling

[fading spade]

My 80 euro smartwatch had a heart rate sensor AND blood oxygen sensor

and really indepth sleep tracking

[tall anchor]

if i buy a 80 smart watch theres a 80 euro annual subscription

[feral ferry]

I'll have you know 40$ fitbits trach heart rate, blood oxygen and more...

So that's not some revelation you found there

Damn I forgot today is June 12th

Reddit's protest day

I was wondering why the subreddit count I was subbed to just went down by half

[vapid lintel]

A fair few have chosen to extend the protest indefinitely

[trim rock]

Yeah, it's beautiful

[feral ferry]

Prolly nothing will happen

I hope you have seen their response

[trim rock]

Then the mods should just quit

[vapid lintel]

Perhaps it's high time that Reddit gets taken down a notch or two

[feral ferry]

https://ustimespost.com/reddit-ceos-ama-over-third-party-api-shutdown-has-made-backlash-even-worse/

Can't find the exact article

But basically

They won't back down whatever happens

Reddit isn't publicly traded right? So they don't have any investors' financial calls or anything?

[vapid lintel]

They need to make a profit somehow, otherwise they'll collapse at IPO

[feral ferry]

Spez literally insists that Reddit isn't making money

So API is their main target

[vapid lintel]

They are fixing to go public in 12 to 18 months

[feral ferry]

I wonder if he's spewing the truth or not

[vapid lintel]

I don't see the benefit to lying about that

[feral ferry]

All companies go to shit after they go public

[trim rock]

Well he doubled down on the lies about Apollo lul

[feral ferry]

Staying private is how you keep doing what you want to keep doing

[vapid lintel]

Depends on your definition of "go to shit"

[orchid prism]

Given how little traffic we get on our subreddit, I don't really see the point of closing it down. It'll just confused customers looking for help or to share their keyboard. 😄

[feral ferry]

You people maybe want to make an official Wooting forum?

[vapid lintel]

Something to consider, but not in the short term

[orchid prism]

A what now?

[feral ferry]

LTTforum but Wooting edition

[orchid prism]

Oh god - you mean like a full on CMS website forum. Fuck - that 😄

[feral ferry]

Mostly for support prolly anyways, but also everything with keebs, modding, general announcements, etc

Forums are cool

[orchid prism]

That is essentially what Discord is anyway.

[vapid lintel]

The benefit, and the reason why LTT runs their own forum, is to not be beholden to a third party social network to function

[orchid prism]

They also created it before Discord really took off.

[vapid lintel]

Discord could nuke this server for any reason and there's nothing we could do about it

[feral ferry]

Hmm, maybe I could design a forum

Could be a decent thesis object

[small comet]

i think forums still have a place especially if i consider how crap discord "forum" function and search function is

man i wish wed have our own WBB forum

[vapid lintel]

WBB? Wooting Badass Bananas?

[small comet]

woltlab burning board

sort of high end forum cms

[fallow bronze]

wooting bulletin board

[small comet]

oh they rebranded

to just WoltLab Suite for all their products

https://www.woltlab.com/de/apps/

their own website runs their own software

[orchid prism]

I've never had issues with it personally.

[small comet]

maybe im just too much of a boomer but i love forums

[feral ferry]

I feel the same

[orchid prism]

But I will agree that Forums are better than REDDIT.

Can't stand all of the voting and nested reply sorting.

[feral ferry]

Forums still have a place in the interwebs

[fallow bronze]

i think reddit is better than most forums

[small comet]

i mean depends on the forum software

[trim rock]

Discord is a black hole of information so yeah prefer leddits or even forums for that kind of stuff

[small comet]

some are just atrociously 1990

[fallow bronze]

nesting comments on a subject just makes much sense

just look at google wave. it made a lot of sense there as well

☎️ wat? what do you mean? it doesnt exist anymore?

📠 crap

[trim rock]

Wave was a good idea damn it it died too soon!

[fallow bronze]

yeah it was neat

[trim rock]

And nested comment threads are a lot easier to follow than a single long linear list IMO

[orchid prism]

I couldn't disagree with this more.

[feral ferry]

I would agree with ngh

Nested comments are easy to read

A lot easier than "replies"

[orchid prism]

So many branches, hidden downvotes and God knows what else.

It's like forums spun through a social media algorithm.

"No no that isn't relevant, also this shit was mentioned in another sub branch of this comment. Better backtrack and take the third right. You just missed it)

In more interesting news. Let's go!

[fallow bronze]

wa.. what?

i still need to see part 1 😮

[feral ferry]

Again, this is a lot more readable, for me and many

Than something like this

Where you have to scroll multiple pages to find answers

Reddit's nailed the commenting system

[orchid prism]

Now add voting to the mix.

Anyhow we'll definitely never agree on this. Linear any day. Or present the thread in a way that shows branches better.

[feral ferry]

I do find myself confused sometimes which thread is beginning where

But like, that's still better than linear

[fallow bronze]

finding the new stuff is harder actually in threaded

[split onyx]

what's happening with dammit of reddit

[small comet]

i understand the confusion but most threads arent just d

[feral ferry]

Thing is though, with those API things

I imagine every single custom bot goes through the API, right?

So if you want to fetch data for a bot, or a custom reddit app, you go through the same API

[small comet]

go through it for what

[feral ferry]

Looking into how many bots there are, that's a lot of traffic

I can't imagine that API is cheap to maintain

[small comet]

someone broke it down

reddit pays roughly 0.12cents per user per month

[feral ferry]

And it just falls on Reddit themselves to maintain it, nobody else pays for it

[small comet]

but they want 20times as much

[split onyx]

WHAT

[small comet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/

[young hill]

Lovely how communities are going private as well

[trim rock]

Heck what if they just did something stupid, like gold users don't count for API costs or some shit like that

[split onyx]

2mln per month

[small comet]

apollo app apparently would also pay around 2million dollars a month just to continue operating

[split onyx]

how much apollo makes a month?

[small comet]

0

its free

[split onyx]

[small comet]

https://apps.apple.com/app/id979274575

like its quite literally a free app in itself

[trim rock]

This app offers subscriptions for "Apollo Ultra". They're available (in United States pricing) for $0.99 monthly or $9.99 yearly. Subscriptions will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period (and charged to your iTunes account). You can turn off auto-renew/manage subscriptions in your iTunes Account Settings after purchase. Terms of Use can be found at https://apolloapp.io/terms and Privacy Policy can be found at https://apolloapp.io/privacy

[small comet]

ya you can give tips or monthly money for development of the app but not mandatory

the difference is that instead of extra features you pay for with ultra youd have to have a base cost associated with the app of well 2.50 a month

just to use it

and i dont think its fair to weigh donations made for the continued development into paying for everyone to be able to use it for free

[split onyx]

reddit is killin it

https://tenor.com/view/pirómano-meme-jeje-odio-bomberos-gif-15722930

[feral ferry]

Ngl

[trim rock]

Good riddance though.. Time for alternatives to spring up! Lemmy looks neat but being federated has its pros and cons

[feral ferry]

I've never heard of Apollo or whatever

I like the standard Reddit app

[trim rock]

That app is such cancer lul how do people manage to use it

[feral ferry]

So I'm rather irritated that my subreddits are shutting down in protest of something I've never heard of or cared for

But eh, they are trying to fuck up the millionaires so meh, I can stand for that

[feral ferry]

It works just fine

[orchid prism]

Fixed it for you.

[feral ferry]

Reddit will be fine, there's nothing really there to replace it

Go back to Twitter? Have fun in your political hellhole

[split onyx]

😂

[feral ferry]

Reddit users prolly use Twitter anyways if they are into political debates

For gaming, DIY, hobby communities, there's nothing as big that exists to just migrate into

[nimble current]

reddit is so fucking trash tho that's the sad part

its really mindboggling how its the best in its category

[feral ferry]

Is it?

It works really well

Again like, I want you to name why it's trash

Cause it works well, is usable well, and I don't see a reason to have any other app

[nimble current]

looks like garbage, poorly laid out, unusable on phone without some shitty app are a few reasons

[feral ferry]

It doesn't look like garbage, again, I use it daily, on both my phone and desktop

Layout is fine

[nimble current]

its like they've intentionally made it broken on any phone browser

just to push their app

[feral ferry]

I can't vouch on browser usage on mobile cause I just have the app

And the app works well for me

[nimble current]

I don't want to be forced to use an app just to view the occasional reddit link someone posts because they're too big a tossers to make it work in a phone browser

like no other site has this issue

yeah I'd be fucking embarassed if I ran one of the largest sites on the internet and the mobile experience was like reddits is

yeah has to be

which only makes me hate that cancerpit even more

[feral ferry]

Yeah but what are people's problems with the app

I don't get the hate for reddit, the desktop client design or the app

I am not

Cause it looks like shit

I started using reddit when the new design was already a standard thing

And I like it

Old.reddit just looks functionally bad

[nimble current]

reddit changed design?

it looked like ass in 2007, and it looks like ass now

[feral ferry]

How's the current design slow or cumbersome?

You people have some weird ass character problems cause wtf are you talking about

It loads fine for me, is easy to browse and find things I need

What cumbersome

It loads fine, I don't even understand with "less content on screen" when the old.reddit effectively forces you to click on every post just to see what it's about, and you don't with the new one with the preview feature, and comments are fine to navigate, but can get a bit annoying if there's a lot of them

Like yes, the comments? Fine, sometimes it can get a tiny bit annoying

I don't at all agree with anything else

And I use this shit daily

[nimble current]

people are different

some people like shows such as paradise hotel

even though its literal cancer

[feral ferry]

What are shows?

I don't even watch TV, nor do I even have cable

I have completely disconnected from any TV networks 5 years ago

[nimble current]

I haven't watched TV since like 2006

but I still know things about the world because I go outside

[feral ferry]

I like straightforward, functional systems, and Reddit is a straightforward and functional system

[nimble current]

its never been

I guess if you use it enough you get used to the dysfunction

[feral ferry]

Lol if it wasn't functional or straightforward, people wouldn't use it

Yet people do

So maybe you are the problem?

[nimble current]

because like you said, its the only one of its type

or at least the only one that's been around long enough for enough people to know about it

that's also true

[feral ferry]

I just don't search for problems to complain about I suppose

[nimble current]

plebs gravitate towards garbage, you can see it everywhere in society

[feral ferry]

If something works well and delivers content for me to consume or ignore flawlessly, I don't mind the system

[nimble current]

they'll watch shitty tv shows, watch fox news and buy SUVs

[feral ferry]

Reddit is great for that

[nimble current]

people in general have awful taste

[feral ferry]

Tf is wrong with SUVs

[nimble current]

everything

[feral ferry]

Tf are you talking about

[nimble current]

absolutely pointless wastes of space

unless you live in the woods

which no SUV driver today does

[feral ferry]

It's a family vehicle, tons of space for shit like groceries

[nimble current]

buy a station wagon

we were doing just fine with those before the SUV plague came along

yeah there's that too

its just a statement vehicle

[feral ferry]

You people just have insecurity problems or some shit

[nimble current]

people who buy SUVs do

[feral ferry]

Complaining about SUVs is not a problem with you?

It's literally a type of car

[nimble current]

"I must have an enormous car or I'll feel unsafe"

[feral ferry]

How about if you actually need a big ass car for shit like construction, transportation and co?

Ever considered that option?

[nimble current]

I never complained about that

[feral ferry]

But no it's a user problem

Somehow

[nimble current]

if you need a big car you need a big car, but the vast majority don't

they just get it because its what's popular

[tall anchor]

[feral ferry]

Lemme guess, you drive a corvette and are pissed than you can't go pedal to the metal cause there's a SUV in front of you

[nimble current]

its gotten to the point where people who don't even need one buys it anyways because they think that's what will give them the best resale value

I drive a normal car

a hatchback

[feral ferry]

That's exactly what a sports car owner would say

[nimble current]

dude I wish I could afford a sports car

[feral ferry]

Starfield

I'll play CS2 though

[bleak pike]

Starfield looked alright I'm not gonna lie

[feral ferry]

Didn't get invited to either of the 2 tests

[nimble current]

I dunno my computer kinda too old to run most new games

[bleak pike]

It's gone from looking shite to looking alright which is hard for me to say.

[feral ferry]

I don't play competitive anymore so Valve don't want me

[bleak pike]

https://youtu.be/ULsF7B6bFuU

Looks fun tho

[feral ferry]

Avowed is literally Skyrim

[nimble current]

I don't play anything competitive any longer either

[feral ferry]

But it looks a bit 2015

Like idk why that gameplay looked weirdly dated

[bleak pike]

But good

Combat looks decent too

[feral ferry]

So a good spiritual successor to a good game, you mean?

I see

[nimble current]

I'd like to try starfield when it comes

but in general am not that big fan of bethesda stuff

[bleak pike]

My biggest gripe with Skyrim is it looked ass when it came out and the combat was horrid

[feral ferry]

@magic storm What CS rank were you?

I need to get back into matchmaking

[feral ferry]

Literally 4K mods exist for graphics, and there are combat overhauls that make the game into fuck knows what

That's why I dig Bethesda games

[nimble current]

last time I played CS regularly was...2001?

[feral ferry]

It's not a game

It's a sandbox

The real game will be after modders toy with it

And it'll be the best game of the decade

Kind of why I really like Creation, it's easy to work with

[bleak pike]

Still looks ass

[nimble current]

I just want valheim to be finished

fucking iron gate taking so long

[bleak pike]

There's only so much 4k mods can do

[feral ferry]

Invite me to competitive, short comp preferable, I need to play

Jesus, you are old

Although yeah I also started playing CSGO way back when it was a mod

[nimble current]

I started when it was a mod for the original half-life

also played team fortress, the og quake mod

killer quake pack

[feral ferry]

@magic storm Seriously invite me to comp

[nimble current]

killer quake pack had a portal gun, in 1997

though you could only use it to pass through a wall with a room behind it

not like in portal the game

[feral ferry]

Of course

[nimble current]

yeah I member that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxKYgjY0nyE

[feral ferry]

Meh I just need to play

@barren pewter you up for shortcomp?

Me?

Where?

[nimble current]

I've had my steam account since 2007 and got some 80 games

I select my games with a lot of care and consideration

I've bought a few humble deals but I rarely visit that site tbh

usually only if someone tips me off on some game I might like

[small comet]

check the game ids to see the difference

[feral ferry]

I don't even play comp

.... I just play against bots

Literally

That

Also https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2887812541

Advanced bot AI for CSGO

I much prefer playing borderline aimhacking bots than actual players

These bots do

[feral ferry]

They assume actual real positions a player would play

Do executes, like smoke + flashbang strats

Actually do fakes so go to one direction, then another

Sometimes one bot lurks on one side, and others go rush the other

They are well programmed

And rather fun to play, much more than actual players

So that's what I've been playing for years

There's nothing wrong with that

If I wanted to, I could queue faceit or something

I just don't want to bother with the commitment into multiplayer matches I can't skip

Or just quit

Cause sometimes I just play for 6 rounds and quit cause I lost interest

Can't do that in 30 round multiplayer

[charred cove]

You can

I do

[feral ferry]

I don't feel like ruining other's competitive

[grizzled bramble]

Really like that colour too (Matt is good at taking pictures & building too!)

[orchid prism]

Looks lovely.

[grizzled bramble]

Also like the Matcha green colour that Thermaltake revealed at Computex

[orchid prism]

Is is a DIY mod or a product?

Might have to show this to the SO and see if she bites.

[split onyx]

damn I wonder how it looks with all the wood around the bottom

[orchid prism]

Cheers.

[feral ferry]

@orchid prism

Pacifica is getting content

[orchid prism]

No shot as the kids say.

[feral ferry]

Up is before, below is Phantom Liberty

They did a whole ass town in Pacifica now

Then again

Do we know where the place that this DLC takes place in is?

Wasn't it literally in Pacifica?

[orchid prism]

They threw around a name I didn't recognize.

Deadtown or something?

[feral ferry]

Dogtown

[orchid prism]

Ah DOGtown. 😄

[feral ferry]

I guess it has dogs

Which makes no sense cause animals are kinda exterminated in several kilometer radius from Night City, right/

[orchid prism]

Dogtown is a walled-off area located east of the Pacifica subdistricts of Coastview and West Wind Estate.

Well there you go.

[feral ferry]

Ah so Pacifica is indeed getting a proper overhaul

"walled-off"

So, a fade to black level load transition?

[orchid prism]

That or just a high wall dividing the two areas.

Like a district.

It would be the first time they did a fade to black. So I don't think they're doing that. But I guess we'll have to see.

But Dogtown sounds culturally different. Watching the dev breakdown, and they mention more of a South African inspiration?

Some kind of neutral free trade zone. No corpo prescence.

[feral ferry]

No corpo presence sounds incredibly temporary when the damn US president crashes into your town

Then you've got Arasaka hitsquads, Smasher, and entire of Militech conveying on that single location

[barren pewter]

[barren pewter]

I think that’s the idea

Personally, I’m hype to explore dogtown

To the point of already preordering the expansion

[barren pewter]

[feral ferry]

I wonder why, fuckin dog

[barren pewter]

Thanks, gypsy witch

Any more enlightening statements?

[feral ferry]

That's racist

Gypsies did nothing wrong

[novel umbra]

holy shit the ubisoft show is bad

[trim rock]

yeah lul

[feral ferry]

People care about Ubisoft?

[small comet]

they have a big section of a livestream iirc

[fringe salmon]

avatar game has potential and I'm cautiosuly optimistic but after that I closed stream lol

[novel umbra]

they have their own one

only cut out once entirely once

[small comet]

why the crap would u turn that on

[novel umbra]

2 trailers with no audio

[feral ferry]

Ubisoft's quality really went down over the years to the point where they really aren't worth paying attention to anymore

[novel umbra]

it's funny

[trim rock]

Yeah what happened why is the production value so potato

[bleak pike]

Crew

Did star wars get revealed yet

[trim rock]

non

[bleak pike]

It's the only thing I care for

And avatar

The fuck

Open world assassin's creed mobile game lol

[feral ferry]

We knew about this since last Ubisoft direct

Are they showing that new Star Wars game?

[trim rock]

Yes

[feral ferry]

The cinematic looked good during the Microsoft event

I wonder if the gameplay is good

[bleak pike]

I didn't really watch it

Tbh

Lol

That's funny

Hasn't even been shown live

Do love seeing 30fps gameplay

And knowing it'll probably run like shit on pc

So are the FPS drops lol

[feral ferry]

Damn the new Star Wars lady looks like a grown up adult Dora the explorer

[bleak pike]

She's cute

I'm beyond sceptical of this gameplay, it's too good lol

Also star wars division

Wow

Ye I don't think it's gonna release like this hahaha

It looks way to good

[novel umbra]

how is the audio mixing for this trailer so shit

[trim rock]

This whole stream has had really scuffed audio mixing lul

[novel umbra]

yea but likeit's hard baked in the trailer

and they just made voices omega quiet

[trim rock]

But yeah what's up with that audio quality too, why does the music especially sound so awful

[bleak pike]

Hahah it looks so impressive but I can't help but be sceptical because of Ubisoft....

Also who needs Lamefield

After that

https://youtu.be/c7K2TA0bBpY

[fallow bronze]

looks very pretty

[slim token]

i'm thinking capcom does a better presentation

[novel umbra]

already starting with the namecalling

before seeing more than a single room of gameplay

[bleak pike]

I did that forever ago

[novel umbra]

and basically no character voices

oh in the trailer the voices work

[feral ferry]

He's stupid innit, we know that

[novel umbra]

amazing

[feral ferry]

Give idiot way

[feral ferry]

Now that is actually exciting

Dragons Dogma 2 will get gameplay I bet

New Monster Hunter?

[bleak pike]

Crapcom

[feral ferry]

Prolly some more RE4 VR

[slim token]

i don't play anything capcom outside of biohazard

[feral ferry]

Capcom has so many franchises I fail to even remember most of em

[slim token]

and i would still play any of those games over current ubi stuff

trueing

[feral ferry]

Oh yeah Street Fighter 6 crossover is prolly gonna appear in Capcom's thing

[slim token]

ubi will not be back unless the make a 3d rayman game

or remake the older games

[feral ferry]

Anyone remember Splinter Cell?

IP stuck in the hands of a shit company

Rainbow Six was also a promising tactical shooter franchise

[slim token]

all of tom clancy

[feral ferry]

You know, I never thought the day would come that EA of all companies is now actually making decent games

And Ubisoft is still ass

[slim token]

Dino Crisis remakes when?

They have such a wonderful franchise with Dino Crisis and they don't want to use it

[bleak pike]

This is why Starfield will be different from a typical Bethesda game

It'll not be broken, and maybe not even janky

Entire damn Xbox QA is playing Starfield

Was delayed for a year just to fix the damn game

If this game launched last year, it would have been a mess

[slim token]

those animations from the segment did not reassure

[fringe salmon]

QA finding issues and QA cuasing issues to be fixed are two different things xD

it should be better but we'll have to see

[nimble current]

when the previous games stop making sufficient money they will put more effort into a sequel

am guessing they're still raking in plenty on the various skyrim and fallout editions available on various platforms

they also got other studios like ID bringing in cash

[hardy plover]

I'm just hoping elder scrolls 6 can live up to its predecessor

Skyrims my favourite game

[nimble current]

I haven't played any elder scrolls games, only watched others play them

like my brother used to play morrowind and oblivion way back

[deft bloom]

huh ffxvi was a pleasant surprise judging by the demo, might just have to get it

[young hill]

elder scrolls online seemed like a cool idea

[novel umbra]

the fallout tram is probably the biggest piece of spaghetti code jank that I have ever seen

https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-whats-happening-inside-fallout-3s-metro-train/

this thing

[young hill]

Could have been okay if Bethesda was like 10 people

But they definitely probably had the budget to make a train

Do you mean contracted personel?

[novel umbra]

no

even then

that is omega jank

[young hill]

I mean okay the train movement is weird, but like if someone presented that as like some kind of project could have been a dirty solution. It may be cringey but it is clever.

I am starting to think Microsoft purchase is only further gonna embrace that

[young hill]

I just mean they allow contractors maybe even encourage them

Still trying to figure out why 343 failed

[young hill]

That seems normal honestly

Car games exist

Military vehicle ones do too

Why not peaceful civilian flying

Oh

You mean they made another

Yeah that does seems bit odd

Considering they made expansions

[slim token]

they're going to do a microsoft the way windows went

still remember when x came out

[young hill]

Honestly I thought they would just keep updating it

[slim token]

Man the latest Final Fantasy is the most violent the series has ever been

They were not kidding with the Game of Thrones comparison

[deft bloom]

yeah, and I'm all for it

[slim token]

so what was the point of changing names again

[orchid prism]

I mean... you decided on having the numbers.

But yeah. Not the best change ever thought up.

[slim token]

my hand was forced

literally only dropped the pound sign

[small comet]

your hand wasnt forced

its your decision to choose quite literally any new name

[slim token]

literally said i could not make it "energize"

so it was

[small comet]

no?

[slim token]

yeah

[small comet]

energize1

or any other number

or energize.

or energize_

[ruby cave]

or cool gamer talk, replace i with 1

[small comet]

or _energize_

[slim token]

the new name doesn't matter

[small comet]

well it does

[slim token]

i was forced to not have energize alone

it doesn't

[small comet]

it how people add you when they dont already share a server with you

like when you meet them irl

or online

its basically like saying your hand is force to never register on twitch, twitter or steam because you cant have the unique handle energize

[slim token]

i'm being forced to change it

simple as

[novel umbra]

uhh, yes

[small comet]

well id say that falls under find users

[slim token]

moderation i can understand

[small comet]

cause typing those unicode names is ass

[novel umbra]

it doesn't make moderation easier though

[small comet]

it does

[novel umbra]

like realistically I just use userid anyways

[small comet]

well we get a lot of reports of DM ads and we dont have userIds just usernames

and sometimes unicode shit is part of that

[novel umbra]

ah yea ig

[small comet]

so purely a-z0-9_. as a filter is really nice

[novel umbra]

I mean I can see why they got rid of unicode bs in names

removing the discriminator just means that you most likely will just get a name you don't want

[small comet]

uppercase/lowercase i wouldnt have minded tbh

[small comet]

imo that depends on how generic the name is

[novel umbra]

I only didn't get mine because the literal only other pronin on this plattform got free nitro shortly before the change

[small comet]

youre yamatoklok though

[novel umbra]

only here

[ruby cave]

i got nitro for over a year now, and still cant change my name

[novel umbra]

doesn't matter how long you have had it

but it's odd that you can't change it still

[ruby cave]

yea idk why, maybe because i changed planes from basic to the normal nitro after 1st march

[novel umbra]

doesn't matter

[ruby cave]

[trim rock]

Yeah all nitroers should have gotten the name change by now https://discordrollout.nekos.sh/ (damn, non nitro peasants got screwed)

[severe compass]

Remember when they said people would be prioritised in order of when they joined?

[charred cove]

just be original and have a 1 of 1 name

[rancid hearth]

yea

[still spire]

I mean if you haven't used Discord since 2015, you should get no name at all

😛

[charred cove]

very weird thing to flex

[fallow bronze]

never had nitro, got it quite early

[ruby cave]

this is bs, apparently they have some issues with nitro users getting marked as non nitro users... i already canceld my subscription... im not gonna support this shit anymore. id understand if my name got taken by someone with an account older then mine, but loosing my username due to a bug is just bs.

[blazing tartan]

anyone been able to use controller settings on keyboard in diablo4?
i cant get it to work

[orchid prism]

I don't believe it is supported.

Game doesn't allow for controller/mouse at the same time.

[blazing tartan]

ok thank you

[fading spade]

I dont have Nitro but I got the name change

[lunar glade]

Well yeah it's because they prioritize people with nitro as well as people with older accounts.

[ruby cave]

only the nitro prio doesn't work for a lot of people lol

[rancid hearth]

aren't they todd?
your hands are tied todd
today you shall be locked in the basement like your fps is

[novel umbra]

but the physics worked at 60 fps as well

[severe compass]

Did it?

[novel umbra]

yes

[severe compass]

Could ya show me?

[novel umbra]

they only started to break above 60

[severe compass]

So physics IS locked to framerate and there's likely going to be a lot of bugs at 60 (or at least when the game suffers a lag spike) that Bethesda just didn't want to fix

[novel umbra]

?

physics WERE tied to fps in skyrim and fallout 4 for example

and they worked "as intended" at 60fps and lower

lag spikes did not matter

since they worked at any fps below 60

[severe compass]

Lookie here fella
We worked out decades ago that tying physics to framerate was a bad idea. Skyrim and Fallout yeah could go to 60, but above that as you said the engine would break.
So here we have StarField with a ""brand new engine"" The Creation Engine "2", yet it still has that physics tied to framerate limitation? And what's more it looks like this game is getting a downgrade where now the physics will break above 30, rather then the older engine's above 60

Fun fact: To get Morrowind running on the Xbox Original Bethesda needed to overcome a memory leak problem. Their solution was to reboot the console during loading zones to clear out all memory.
Yes the OG Xbox could reboot itself whilst holding a loading screen up.

yes

from like

a billion years ago

[charred cove]

as a kid i liked that movie

[small comet]

i could be wrong but i dont know of any prince of persia controversy outside of that movie apparently whitewashing

[orchid prism]

Only drama I'm aware of is the return to being a sideway scroller.

As opposed to that whole Asassin's Creed take.

[small comet]

but prince of persia was 3d way before AC ever released

like 6 years or so earlier

[orchid prism]

Just using zoomer friendly lingo.

The last POP that was a side scroller was when I was a teenager.

Prince of Persia... 2? I think they went 3D after that. Very not great at first until the Sands of Time saga.

[small comet]

no 2 was still side scrolling

the aptly named prince of persia 3d was the first 3d

god that was a good game back then

[novel umbra]

What is even the problem with the character

[small comet]

i think the only ones i ever played were 3d, warrior within and two thrones

and after that the game didnt really look interesting to me anymore

[novel umbra]

Doesn't look persian enough?

[orchid prism]

Good lord my eyes. What is this even 😄

[fallow bronze]

afford and want are very different things

[nimble current]

I mean if she really wants to play it she has ways of making that happen

or wait a few years for the apple port

[severe compass]

With Apple moving away from X86 shouldn't people have expected that game compatibility would only get worse?
I know a lot of people don't know about architectural changes, but Apple's been moving to shut off third parties from their platform for a good long while.

[orchid prism]

The real irony here is that Blizzard used to be industry pioneers and solid Apple supporters.

Every single game since Diablo 1? natively ported to both PowerPC and Intel Macs.

[severe compass]

Surprised to hear they ported to PowerPC macs, that must have been hard.
However that was during an era where the Apple platform was struggling and they were really trying to bring third parties in. Now they work on making their lives hard

[still spire]

Yeah current Mac's are very anti developer

[nimble current]

it'll probably end up on Apple M-chipset systems soon enough

[severe compass]

Why you think? Emulation?

[nimble current]

given its been a pretty major success so far

[orchid prism]

Apple were MUCH bigger into gaming back then. Their computers had actual graphics cards.

[nimble current]

I mean they're still into gaming, but its like mobile gaming

[severe compass]

Dunno, lot of other major games never come to Mac

Didn't Apple just release a $7000 machine with a dozen PCIe slots that still can't use a GPU?

[orchid prism]

No no. It had support for some super specific AMD cards that definitely weren't worth the price.

The VEGA era.

[severe compass]

No they made an even newer Mac Pro recently that uses an M2 max ultra giga plus Lettuce Tomato and Bacon Extra Large

[orchid prism]

[severe compass]

Yeah no GPU support on the new machine that costs $7000 bucks
https://www.macrumors.com/2023/06/11/apple-exec-discusses-mac-pro-lack-of-egpu-support/

Also memory maxes out at 192GB which costs an additional 2,400 AUD

[solar lily]

Pro for 'Professional Market' sure ain't the universal thing for Apple that most people find 'professionals' to be

[severe compass]

2TB SSD costs an additional $600 AUD

[solar lily]

oh I didn't realise Microsoft provided an actual fridge for sale to accomodate such a circumstance

[severe compass]

You need to go with Nvidia to get that cooler option, right after your new GPU's cable catches fire

[solar lily]

I thought the NVIDIA GPU was there to overclock the oven

Intel provides a dishwasher as well so might be the whole kitchen sorted...

Todd on Starfield: "Our next-gen lighting model uses real time global illumination to light the world based on the type of star and the planets atmosphere"

Lifewatch would've been a good name for the skin

Baywatch reference, plus Overwatch

Kinda perfect

[bleak pike]

Ye it's is more gex x

[nimble current]

he did say millenials childhood

which is accurate

I very much remember baywatch going on tv as a kid

my parents forbid me from watching power rangers because they read in the news some kids had pretended they were in the show and gone overboard killing one of their friends

yeah obviously sad for that kid

but then they let me watch silver fang which was an anime about mountain dogs getting torn to pieces by giant bears in japan

like super graphical violence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngg4vgM7xyI

like we had this on vhs as kids

my brother was 4 years older so that was kinda pointless too

everything the older cool kids watched I wanted in on

yup

this show was really big in scandinavia in the 90s

I'm not big on animes but they were definitely cooler in the 80s and 90s

these days all the popular stuff is just a bunch of kawaii schoolgirls put in various settings

all for cashing in on the thirst of teenage boys

[bleak pike]

Til what shonen means

Now I feel attacked

[nimble current]

[lunar glade]

I think shonen is still the most popular genre no?

In terms of timeline, anime started to get really popular especially in the west around when the big 3 was still airing

I think

Mainstream where exactly

Ahh I see. I live in the US so anime didn't really become mainstream here until like, I'd like to say after 2007.

At least in my experience. Haha

[orchid prism]

Whaaaaat.

Dragon Ball Z was much, much earlier.

Lmao

Yeah I live in the other side of the country

Yeah I live in New York

And growing up, my only access to anime was through fansubs.

I was nowhere rich enough to travel

But only watch a few

Adult swim is worth it alone

Even today

I see

The thing I got to watch in youth was cw for kids

And that was nice before cartoon network bought that up

I remember my parents buying dvds from a sketchy guy in a laundrymat

Those were the days

That too was on cw for kids I remember

I enjoyed pokemon

Never saw sailermoon

Lol

Were you into the 39 clues or was that not around

I remember my mom bought me a ton of books and cards for my birthday after I found the first book in some book store.

Ah okay

Well I think in the mid 2000 a lot of kids were into it

Basically it was like a scavenger hunt in the book

And I think they had smaller one in reality

Like you ready player one

It was sorta like that

But modern

No sci fi

But like the lucieans had posion

Well there books were interesting on their own

They even had flash games

Which were fun

Rip adobe flash

Possibly

But you had to use an account

So not sure if it can work

It was fun though

There was a dog fighting game

Each book came with a few cards and they had booster packs as well

Interesting I forgot there were several authors

That is quite interesting

As I look closely some of them made some other books I read, shadow children series and Percy Jackson books

That was a very interesting interview

(Sequel in the planning stages for Cyberpunk post expansion release)

[nimble current]

woulda looked cool at the time, nowadays it kinda looks like one of those chinese knockoff consoles

[orchid prism]

[nimble current]

sent that to a few mates who insisted on preordering the cyberpunk expansion

[vapid lintel]

I've just spammed that meme to a few folks too 😂

[orchid prism]

Last game I pre-ordered was Bloodlines 2 for the physical edition. And boy did that pan out well (I did get a full refund though so no sweat there)

[small comet]

last game i preordered was

idk

prob a final fantasy 14 expansion

[fringe salmon]

elden ring, ff14 expansion, pre orders going well for me

[small comet]

actually i preordered satisfactory

great early access

[vapid lintel]

I'm probably going to preorder Cities Skylines

[orchid prism]

I refuse to buy CS2 until they bring back bicycles.

[vapid lintel]

Mostly because I know that Paradox will be milking that for expansions for the next decade or more - no concerns about them abandoning development too early 😂

[small comet]

wha

[small comet]

dont need to develop to slap out asset flips

[vapid lintel]

They typically strike a decent balance between worthless fluffy DLC garbage and actual fundamental changes to gameplay mechanics and underlying system

[orchid prism]

They revealed on twitter that they wouldn't be in the game on launch.

[vapid lintel]

Stellaris goes too far, changing the entire game every five months or so

[small comet]

idk i cry everytime i play it because of traffic

[orchid prism]

So no bike paths and all that.

[small comet]

dlc for later

[orchid prism]

Well yes. But it was in CS1 😄

[vapid lintel]

CS1 also had almost a decade of DLC releases, it'

it's not reasonable to expect all of those will be part of the base game

[orchid prism]

Perhaps not - But BIKES?

[small comet]

ya you gotta repay for those

[vapid lintel]

Yea not having bikes is a pretty wild choice, I don't disagree

[small comet]

bruh

i am missing like 200eurs of dlc

[orchid prism]

Vast majority of those are stuff like community made assets and music.

For comparison re: bikes. They were implemented as a sidething in a DLC in the first year of CS1's release.
