[orchid prism]

Not a longterm afterthought.

[vapid lintel]

Why do I not see a useful list like that but get forced into stupid thumbnails? 😐

[small comet]

i wasnt far off

[small comet]

this is from the CS page and then expanding the dlc

[orchid prism]

The trick with Paradox games is to always be one DLC behind. Then you pay 25-50% less overall 😄

[vapid lintel]

lol my 1440p montior isn't tall enough for them all

[small comet]

smh

thats what this is for mark

[orchid prism]

One thing to note - Skylines is in the old DLC approach. Where Paradox tried to give everyone what they wanted by splitting up DLC into sub-DLC. Don't want new music? Just buy the main DLC. Don't want Prussian uniforms? Don't.

[vapid lintel]

You use steam in a browser? lol

[orchid prism]

But of course that meant a ton more DLC, which people ALSO complained about.

[small comet]

dont have it installed on mac

[orchid prism]

So more recent titles use a "bigger is better" approach. See Stellaris.

[fading spade]

Does Steam not work on the M chips?

[vapid lintel]

I have all the major DLC except Airports and Plaza/Promenads

Since by that time I was boycotting buying CS1 DLC so that they release CS2 faster... 😛

[small comet]

it does but why would i install it to take a screenshot and then uninstall it

[fading spade]

true

[orchid prism]

I just buy DLC in bulk on sale when I feel the itch for a game I haven't played in a while.

I don't think I've played Stellaris for at least 3 major DLC.

CK3 not since the first DLC.

[fringe salmon]

https://www.google.com/search?q=does+steam+run+on+m+chip

[small comet]

😮

google? whats that

[vapid lintel]

Let me ChatGPT that for you . com

[fading spade]

Microsoft made the full suite of Office apps on Android and iOS, devices that typically do not have a fucking keyboard, but they wont bring them to Linux because why???

[vapid lintel]

You know I expected to buy the full CS2 deluxe edition but after looking at it, it's totally worthless

[fading spade]

Do they think if Office is on Linux, then it will impact their marketshare?

[vapid lintel]

If they included two proper (upcoming) expansions in it, I would consider it

But paying 2x the price for one expansion and a bunch of assets ain't no deal

[feral ferry]

Ngl I'm more interested in the Cities Skylines II discussion so don't interrupt it and go to #🔌│tech

[small comet]

no

not at all

[orchid prism]

Well for one there are a lot more casual users of either of those than Linux.

[fallow bronze]

office is in the browser nowadays, so it doesnt matter anymore

[fringe salmon]

single digit % marketshare or so of linux, near 100% marketshare on mobile for android and ios

[fading spade]

it doesnt have all the features

its a very cut down version

[fallow bronze]

so perfectly fine for 100% of my usecases :p

[fading spade]

not if you get a document full of smart charts and diagrams and shit

:/

[fallow bronze]

dio you need it for studies?

[small comet]

just like an installed version on linux would be

the macos version also is cutdown despite being expensivo

and no it didnt take any marketshare away

(thats also how i know linux would do as little as well)

[fallow bronze]

a LOT of mac users i know also have msoffice

[fading spade]

Yeah, but idk their reasons not to

[small comet]

it doesnt have win libs

and win apis

no native integration with onedrive, msaccounts on the os

and what not

[fading spade]

neither does MacOS

[small comet]

ya no shit

[fading spade]

and they have it on there

[small comet]

because macos has exactly 2 frontend libs

[fading spade]

so, clearly they have a workaround for that

[small comet]

everything on macos uses cacao or the carbon

everything on windows uses win32 gui stuff

everything on linux uses whatever the dev wants because everyone uses different stuff

you may see the added development effort of using free third party libs that arent controlled by the OS vendor or microsoft

[fringe salmon]

also macos has like 10x the userbase of linux still

marketshare matters a lot of putting in extra work

[fallow bronze]

10x? lol

[fringe salmon]

yes, for actual users

server etc. dont need office

[fallow bronze]

i guess a little more

[small comet]

wrong one

[fringe salmon]

he rapid drop in market share can be attributed to stiff competition from its competitors, which are macOS from Apple, and Chrome OS from Google. As of February 2023, Windows holds 57.37% of the desktop OS market in the US, macOS holds 29.62% and Chrome OS holds 7.47%. Linux holds 2.55%, whereas other miscellaneous desktop operating systems hold 2.97%

[novel umbra]

even on steam they have a higher userbase

so 10x is prob not unrealistic if you look at all end consumers

[fallow bronze]

hm, corrected by stats is the best kind i guess

[small comet]

the fact is that if you surround yourself with linux and use linux... people you talk to will most likely use linux thus making it appear more widely used

the fact is though that most devices run windows or macos

heck even big AD screens on new york times square for example are windows based

[fallow bronze]

i thought it was less linux users tbh

[fringe salmon]

steamdeck pushed linux users on steam, but anything below 5% I would not count as accurate numbers regardles of linux or other OS because so hard to get the numbers right, exclude the actual non user devices etc.

only thing I would say for certain it is still a fraction of the userbase

[small comet]

steam hardware survey over the years

also expect macos usage to go up now that apple released their own form of proton for macos

[fallow bronze]

and this is only steam usage

[fringe salmon]

cant currently use that officially though to make your games run on arm, just to test it, licenses and all that

[small comet]

ya but you can already test and debug fps heavy areas

and id expect it to come pretty soon and probably be better than proton overall

[fringe salmon]

yeah it will help but not to the same amount

its not their own form of proton though, its literally just whats out there which is why why many are mad at apple to call it their own solution lol

[small comet]

i mean from what ive seen its a bit more than just crossover

[severe compass]

Dunoo if I would expect MacOS usage to go up on steam that much. Most people who want to play games want a machine that isn't kneecapped

[small comet]

i mean i ran final fantasy 14 on high settings quite well on my m1

[fringe salmon]

it not beating a 4090 doesnt mean the gpu is weak

plenty of pc games that arent cp77 and dont even need a 1060 to run well

[small comet]

i fully expect the usage to go up solely because macos mains dont need a winpc anymore for games

and theres nothing wrong with that

[fringe salmon]

yeah

[small comet]

not to mention once the support for macos in games goes up people can just buy beefier macs

[fringe salmon]

well still, not that much because valve cant just frontload it and have games run via the translation layers, you have to do that manually unless game devs make the game run natively

but it will go up

[vapid lintel]

There's a chicken and an egg situation here, but Steam doesn't give a shit because Beef - it's what's for dinner

[orchid prism]

I genuinely hope this means Apple will finally focus more on GPU cores for their machines, as well as better support.

But I am nothing if not a realist, and both of my Macs with actual gaming capable power predate Intel 😄

[fringe salmon]

support no, gpu core sure a bit, but not gaming focused

[small comet]

ya i dont expect gaming focus

[fringe salmon]

you will still not get full pcie support for gpus

[orchid prism]

Indirect horsepower is still horsepower. As long as they're leaving the door open and not making it needlessly difficult to port games.

Or more realistically "wine them"

[fringe salmon]

nono, thats the thing, you can as a dev use the wine equivalent to test, you cant ship it running on that and call it done

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ZCCnDh2Qk

[fringe salmon]

so it makes porting easier but it doesnt allow people to just auto port and call it done

[small comet]

id say it runs quite good

[fringe salmon]

users can do that manually though at least

[small comet]

for it being interpreted basically

[orchid prism]

And how much does an M2 Max based Apple computer cost currently?

30FPS is very decent for a computer without a dedicated graphics card in the traditional sense, sure. But is this the average mac owner?

[small comet]

no because the average macowner has no reason to invest into the highest end skus

now they will have a reason if they wanna game

[orchid prism]

And what about the issue of essentially being a console, but without the game developer holding back graphics.

At least with a PS5 you know that your experience is tailored. But if you buy an M2 Max Mac today, then games released in a couple of years probably won't be able to do those 30FPS anymore, and you're stuck with your purchase with no easy upgrade paths.

[small comet]

not to mention its still in beta

[orchid prism]

There are a lot of significant roadblocks that need to be addressed. I am hopeful - But a realist 😄

[small comet]

my man if i buy a windows gaming pc that can run cp77 at 30fps today it wont run shit in a couple of years either at those 30fps

[orchid prism]

No. But I will be able to do upgrades to do so.

Partial ones.

Y'can't even swap the RAM or SSDs anymore in a Mac, let alone anything more significant. 😄

(And unlike PCs there's teh added "Apple pricetag")

[fringe salmon]

ngl I am a bit confused on what the point is you are arguing

[small comet]

apple sucks is mansens point

[orchid prism]

I'm just pointing out the significant roadblocks between "this is neat, but then what?" and "yeah Macs can actually game now"

[small comet]

but they can actually game

with that

[orchid prism]

If you need a high end Mac to get just 30FPS, have no upgrade paths and don't enjoy the console treatment. Then... yeah

[small comet]

again

beta

and it was cp77

[orchid prism]

Yes. And for now that's all we can judge.

[fringe salmon]

it wont replace non apple hardware sure, but for going up on steam usercharts thats more than enough

plenty of windows pcs cant run cp higher than that lel

[orchid prism]

And on normal settings. (he said meaning to pose it as a question)

[small comet]

idk the video only showed the ultra quick settings

which also run at 2560x1600

oh no they choose low res

1440x900

[orchid prism]

They kind of have to given the resolution of Mac panels. Aren't they 5K now for all models or something insane?

[fringe salmon]

resolution slider is restricted and you cant freely change everything so we cant get all the info yet

[orchid prism]

Anyway - Don't get me wrong. I'm not doomsaying the project at all. I'm just waiting to see where it's going (if anywhere) longterm. 😄

[small comet]

but ya im more than hopeful for mac gaming if apple actually pumps some good work into this tool

good summary

[orchid prism]

In some games*

A lot of games still use ... was it 5 layers of translation, which heavily affected FPS. 😄

[small comet]

also pretty sure the main point of the toolkit is making it easier to port the entire codebase to native macos compatible code and even show timelines of frametime setc

[orchid prism]

It's free real-estate. But will it turn into an ongoing thing or be a blip? 🙂

[small comet]

i think they are serious... if they wouldnt be theyd just leave crossover to its own as they have for years

[orchid prism]

Here's hoping.

[fringe salmon]

it will turn into more but not becuase they want to do gaming focus, thats just something that happens on the side so might as well cash in on it

because its more important for the vision as well

[small comet]

i bet people will even start running CAD software on macs with that

without any win vm

And the nites can be displayed over your game when the overlay is closed too

You can make them transparent

nites?

Xd

[young hill]

oh

that is cool they added new stuff

[fading spade]

They showed it in a video recently

[feral ferry]

Wait so someone just made a small project in 7 days and that's a game?

[naive pike]

@fringe salmon

FF XVI copies are in the wild

Careful of leaks and people spoiling the story

Launch is only in a week from now

[fringe salmon]

have been ever since my copy allegedly shipped even before the demo came out xd

[feral ferry]

Lol what

Physical retailers are truly the masters of leaking everything

[fringe salmon]

last thursday the store said my order is on its way now xD

from the square store itself

I dont actually think it was send out just ready to be send that day, but that means stuff is ready and going around xd

[feral ferry]

Someone posted some images of the game and.. this looks kinda dated to me

But eh, I guess it'll be fun anyways

PS5 title though, on PC prolly never

[fringe salmon]

already confirmed to be on pc

just not this year and likely not early next year either

[feral ferry]

I wonder if we'll have a working PS5 emulator anytime soon

Tbf I don't even recall any PS4 emulators so PS5 seems out of the question

Persona's sick

Never played it tbf

But my wife played it a lot and I'd stick around to watch

I really really dig what they did with the game

What are you blabbering about now

[orchid prism]

Good on him.

What - At G4 v2?

Hah... wow.

[fringe salmon]

anything better than the old diesel engine

I'm surprised payday doesnt, since the previous once had it

and since they seem top continue the rest of the model of buying future content for some heists but have it shared for all players in lobby

should make sense to offer multi people packs for those versions but oh well

[orchid prism]

Oh boy - Here goes Sony with the "ALL GAMES MUST HAVE ONLINE DRM"

"MUH PIRACY, MUH ACCIDENTAL RELEASE, MUH ANYTHING"

[fringe salmon]

doubt it

not here since yoshi-p would not have that stance and if the game does well that would just make it weird

[feral ferry]

https://www.ign.com/articles/todd-howard-interview-starfield-sgf-2023

Lots of... curious stuff here

"The thousand planets number is the big one that you've been throwing out. What's the ratio of the procedurally generated stuff to the handcrafted stuff?

Todd: Well, the planets themselves, the landscape's pretty much all procedural. We kind of make these large... Think like kilometer-sized tiles we've generated. And those get kind of wrapped around the planet."

I am failing to comprehend how do you wrap a kilometer sized tile around the world and make it feel not redundant

Unless it's like a procedural AI "fill" where it tries to match the vibe but it's a bit different with each pass

[deft bloom]

todd howard is just the todd howard of gaming industry

[fringe salmon]

kilometer sized chunks on real planet scale is still tiny

so it all depends on what it actually is

[feral ferry]

It is really tiny

And that's why I'm really concerned with what their procedural algorythm is

Surely they don't just copy the terrain over and over

[fringe salmon]

and those wrapped around means you just have them adjacent to another like minecraft bioms

[feral ferry]

Yeah Minecraft is what I was thinking about

But that kind of confirms somewhat that they aren't planning for any variety in planets

[fringe salmon]

could have different variations or varying tiles, could be anything so that alone doesnt really say anything

[feral ferry]

It'll just be a single biome system

Also what's really been concerning me, in the gameplay presentation

[fringe salmon]

could make it a planet has only one biom and that has different tiles, or different bioms etc.

that alone is just too vague

[feral ferry]

That is the "completion" of a planet

How much you have found

Like, I might be entitled here, but 4 units of fauna is absolutely nothing

Borderline empty

[fringe salmon]

but a fauna could either be one chunk or made up out of 100 chunks

[feral ferry]

You drop in, wander about for 20 mins to see shit spawn, scan 4 animals and leave?

I'm really hoping it won't be the No Man's Sky effect

[deft bloom]

maybe there's more, but you only need to get that amount to complete the thing

[feral ferry]

Where it's just rather pointless and boring

Eh, whatever

[deft bloom]

if not, then it's ass lol

[feral ferry]

Mods will add dozens more

Base game can be mediocre, mods always make it better

Nowadays people transformed Skyrim into some weird ass strategy/Final Fantasy combat style game

I don't even recognise it anymore

[deft bloom]

I just used the unofficial bugfix thing, boobs and dick mod + some lighting stuff

[tough jay]

Killable children is also required here

[deft bloom]

but with starfield I'm just gonna wait to see if it's worth it as my pc can't run it anyway

[feral ferry]

Like what is this https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/ow2e42/skyrim_with_modern_third_person_combat/

It's some weird MMO style gameplay

[bleak pike]

Cant seem to remember

but there was an anime coming to netflix based off a popular game

it was announced at sumer game fest

[fringe salmon]

Dbd? but thats a movie not an anime

[bleak pike]

no

[charred cove]

yeah im really looking foward to it

[wheat kraken]

This is late but you mean Dead Cells?

[still spire]

I've played bit of the demo a couple of times

replayed that is

I'm excited for sure

Been a long time since a game hooked me like this one

The Eikon fight literally had me shouting

[deft bloom]

haha yeah it was really cool

[feral ferry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PZ1C_eAxMo

I do somewhat agree with this take

Daggerfall was the last procedural game Bethesda has made

And.. it was successful, back then

[orchid prism]

And horribly bugged and messy.

You also don't have to look any further than No Man's Game to see how boring procedurally generated content is by itself.

[feral ferry]

Indeed

That's why I'm scared of Starfield being boring after like 20 or so hours

[orchid prism]

It's not like walking around in Minecraft to explore the procedurally generated biomes is interesting either. It's a tiny part of a much more central experience.

[feral ferry]

Indeed, that's why Minecraft is a "play for a while, put down for a long time" type of game

You play it maybe twice a year but quite a bit

Although what Starfield does have going for it, its main card, is mod support

I will never stop emphasizing how massive of an advantage having good mod support is

Skyrim would be forgotten already if not for the massive mod community

Starfield has the recipe to become a massive game with all the systems they have, talented modders just need to get their hands on it and expand the game systems like 10x with creative content, and it'll be really really fun

But I am rather worried for the base game, I think it'll be fun, but it will get very stale very quickly

[nimble current]

starfield is going to have a hard time impressing me after playing star citizen

but we'll see

at least starfield won't be a broken buggy alpha, supposedly

[vapid lintel]

LOL

#🐸│memes with you

This is Bethesda, afterall

[novel umbra]

I challenge you to clear a randomly generated daggerfall dungeon

and then leave again

[trim rock]

Just use recall x d

[charred cove]

vex can i just say i one day with to cope as hard as you do

but i do agree mod support is the only hope i have for the game

[nimble current]

this time it'll just work, bethesda said so!

[fading spade]

Its interesting how it can sometimes take a month for Optifine to update to a new release of Minecraft, but Fabric Loader and mods can update so fast, they are basically on par with the game's snapshots

you can install Fabric on snapshots, it updates that fast

[fallow bronze]

optifine is not fabric

[feral ferry]

You evidently have no clue what coping means

Cause I was rather negative towards the game there

[bleak pike]

No

[feral ferry]

Again, I know I will love the game

Cause I grew up with Bethesda games and they are my favourite RPGs of all

[bleak pike]

https://youtu.be/LgAUYJ_gglg

[feral ferry]

And mods are a proven track record of long-term playability of Bethesda games, there's nothing "cope" there

I really really have a hunch that Starfield is empty when it comes to open world

And that'll make it really unapproachable for most people and it'll be put down in like 2-3 hours

But mods will add content years down the line and it'll prolly be the best space game/sim that exists

Cause the structural work is there, all we need is a talented team to add Star Wars characters and such and it'll literally be a Star Wars game, for example

The potential is high for long-term replayability

But I do think the game will be very underwhelming at launch

Not broken though, I think it'll be relatively "bug-free"

[charred cove]

congrats or im sorry but i refuse to read all that

[feral ferry]

But really boring

The attention span of 13 year olds these days

Can't even read a paragraph

[fading spade]

Cant say kill on youtube anymore

so some people playig minecraft say break instead of kill

Imma break the enderdragon

[ruby cave]

Easy just replace „kill“ with „brutally slaughter“

[novel umbra]

has to do with youtube bs

[orchid prism]

Or any other number of dumb replacement words.

shot instead of shit (no shit, no shot... shudder)

[dark yoke]

is it possible to play diablo4 moving with the keyboard with the racing profile?

[orchid prism]

No. Diablo doesn't support simultanous controller and mouse control.

[lucid brook]

ok real question, who plays quake here

[fallow bronze]

not actively

[orchid prism]

Haven't played Quake actively since Titanfall 2 and Overwatch took over.

Though I was always more of an Unreal player.

[fallow bronze]

i won a q4 compo at a small lan party once 😄

[lucid brook]

quake on wooting feels like i'm able to dodge everything, but it also might be because of the average age of the players...

[lucid brook]

have you played the new season? i haven't found time yet

[fallow bronze]

and i took that personally

[lucid brook]

i said that with all my respect.

[orchid prism]

S...season?

I played Quake 3 Arena sir.

[lucid brook]

overwatch 2, new season

[orchid prism]

I said Overwatch.

Not Overwatch 2

[fallow bronze]

oooh semantics

[lucid brook]

oh..

[orchid prism]

I only boot up OW2 to help people set up analog movement.

[lucid brook]

is it worth the hassle?

[orchid prism]

shrug
I had tons of fun with Lucio with it.

[lucid brook]

i got my wooting last year, i have yet to use the main feature of the keyboard - analog

should i be ashamed?

[fallow bronze]

nope

[ruby cave]

Same rapid trigger and actuation point are the only stuff I use

[fallow bronze]

i got my wooting one since the kickstarter.. barely used the analouge input. its still a nice keyboad :p
rapid trigger now being on the flaretechs is interesting though

[lucid brook]

oh yeah i've seen that, it's not as good, but still pretty decent innit?

[fallow bronze]

i dont have much gaming time anymore these days 😄

[lucid brook]

i love that wooting didn't forget their old products and they still keep them up to date and improve them

[ruby cave]

True indeed, other company’s would have just said to buy the new one, even if it was an easy to implement

[nimble current]

I used to for many years, not so much anymore

I did play through the quake remaster on my 60HE

was fun

felt very ninja responsive with short actuation and rapid trigger

[feral ferry]

I hate it.

They just had to make everything bigger, except for the actual elements inside. So much empty space around everything.

It also feels super unresponsible and sluggish to boot.

[nimble current]

can't notice much difference in responsiveness to new steam

and I'm on a fucking old computer

[orchid prism]

Just feels like an overall downgrade.

[vapid lintel]

I'm just surprised that steam changed at all

[orchid prism]

The menu used to be much smaller and efficient, and darker.
And right clicking the icon takes much longer to react and show it compared to before. It feels like my computer is too slow for Steam 😄

[vapid lintel]

Feels like it's been pretty much completely stagnate for a decade

I also don't notice any change in responsiveness

[nimble current]

running fine imo

[fading spade]

Yeah
It ain't laggy for me either

I just hate that when you close it from the system tray , it brings up the main window as it shuts down

[fallow bronze]

Hate

[trim rock]

It's the future, the future of having everything be web browser

You all have tons of free RAM right?

[orchid prism]

I'm not saying it's unusable. But it is noticeably slower.

[fallow bronze]

Steam has been a browser for aaages

It was embedded ie before it became something webkitty

[nimble current]

I literally can't tell any difference, on a 4790K

[trim rock]

Yes but now everything is a web browser

Including all the context menus, hence why they might be so slow

[orchid prism]

It's not a CPU based difference. It's literally just an artificial animation kind of thing.

[nimble current]

steam does have some optional animation crap that uses up a surprising amount of cpu, particularly on older systems

so I shut that off obviously

like animated avatars and flashy animated text on your friends nicknames in the list

[orchid prism]

This is.. uh... literally just the notification area right click popup menu.

Not the main interface 😄

[small comet]

i think you are on the wrong discord for that question

[orchid prism]

Naw.

There are some Paradoxheads here, myself included.

That being said, the release date was announced together with the game being announced. So uh... not sure how you'd miss that. Oct 24.

[fringe salmon]

??

does ireland not even show what they sell?

[nimble current]

so do we

[fallow bronze]

Irish shops do?

That's the mind blowing part haha

[feral ferry]

It'll be really good on those

R70x has really really really wide soundstage

Prolly about on par with my AKG's if not a bit better

Although don't spend so much on headphones unless you really want good audio for song listening

Look into K702s, 3x cheaper and soundstage is massive

I've owned these for a few years now, incredible sound quality, great 3D audio

I can tell easily the direction in games like CS:GO

K702s are 500$ headphones, at least when they first launched

I tried Hifiman Sundaras and Anandas once, Ananda was a lot closer to K702 level of quality than Sundara, Sundara just felt a bit compressed

Ultimately 702s are still the nicest sounding headphones I've heard

[rancid hearth]

personally if you're only going to be gaming in them it's not really worth spending that much for a headphone, if all you're going to be doing is gaming and not listening to music the dt990 is cheaper and has good soundstage performance

the tuning is shit tho so not good for music

[feral ferry]

K702 is same price as DT990 if not cheaper and 702 has much better soundstage and audio performance

Beyers are DOA

Where are you from

You're paying in dollarydoos, so U.S?

[rancid hearth]

first I've heard of it being heavy lol

[feral ferry]

702s are comfy af

[mossy reef]

i'm an iem user

[rancid hearth]

if you want something light a senn is the way to go

[feral ferry]

Lol no

K702s are mostly plastic and light af

https://www.thomannmusic.com/akg_k702.htm

$129

There is no need to overspend

Thomann always sells these cheaper than anywhere else lol, even amazon wants 180$

If you need it for work, it's an investment

What do you need DP 2.1 for?

You think that will give you some massive advantage or what?

Rich people's problems

[fringe salmon]

DSC is no issue but the fact its still limited display engine is a joke for the price

[fading spade]

The inside of the Ally doesnt look as pretty as the Deck...

Shame, the shell is so easy to remove

Im sure transparent ones will be out eventually

[nimble current]

probably not as service friendly either

[fading spade]

Upgrading the SDD is the same as the Deck actually

Remove shell, unplug battery, replace SSD, connect battery, attach shell

[nimble current]

that's just one thing though

[fading spade]

Yeah

[nimble current]

can you repair/replace almost every module inside it

[fringe salmon]

do you really want it to cost even more just so it looks pretty lol

[fading spade]

O.o

The Ally has Cloud Recovery, so it can download its OS from online and install it

Deck needs you to make a USB drive with the OS burned to it

[feral ferry]

I only own 702 but people who owned both never described R70x as worth the 3x the pricetag

They are very very similar

Not worth it

Muddier 702s

[fading spade]

Why does the Ally not update the GPU drivers from inside the Armory Crate itself?

you must run the AMD GPU Driver tool to upgrade them and most users wont know that

[fringe salmon]

or, you know, just have windows update drivers from automated windows updates

[barren pewter]

^

[fading spade]

or that

[barren pewter]

not to be that guy, but most OSes have been made idiot proof

[fringe salmon]

no need to have that in armory crate when windows can do it

[rancid hearth]

while that's true some previal

[fading spade]

looks like something I'd get for free and get more enjoyment out of blowing up with my amp

[fading spade]

Use Scarlett Fire to do that

Jack Black
?

wut

I love that guy xd whats he got to do with these earphones?

[rancid hearth]

There's better for the same price

[feral ferry]

How about you get a pair of Moondrop Chus or something

If money's a big deal

That's the cheapest you can get that's nice

[rancid hearth]

even the akg buds you get for free with samsung phones are pretty decent

a bit bass heavy but alright considering free

[feral ferry]

Aral is a Pixel user

[rancid hearth]

only bad thing about them is the microphonics

[feral ferry]

PixelBuds are pretty ew

But I doubt Aral even has set of those

@magic storm I'd say don't buy shit like those panasonics, get a chi-fi product

[fading spade]

They gave the A Series Buds out for free for a while asfter the 6A and 7A launches

[feral ferry]

Good quality from as cheap as 10$ to really good quality for 50$ onwards

[rancid hearth]

even the quarks would be good, although I would say cable over ear designs are objectively better

cable down iems always generally have issues with microphonics

[fading spade]

and I dont like the weight of the cable hanging from my ears either

[feral ferry]

How weak are you?

If you come to klp I'll give you my 80$ Truthear Hexas to try out

Got them off Amazon.de

IEMs are really well priced nowadays

Don't need to buy something that's well, rather bad

[tall anchor]

[rancid hearth]

anything hifi generally has a cable
low quality plastic I'd consider badly made, considering aluminum and dense plastics are generally used for even low price iems
rnd cost, manufacturing difficulty, manufacturing volume etc

[feral ferry]

Oof

When you don't care for the conversation and are getting lectured in things you don't care for

That's the type of answer you just gave

Well whatever works for them

If homie is happy with panasonic or philips earphones then, whatever

But now no wonder you can't hear shit in CS:GO when we play and there's a guy behind you

[tall anchor]

vexx 😛

[rancid hearth]

when someone's too stubborn to consider someone else's opinion
then complain later down the line they want something better

[feral ferry]

Who?

[feral ferry]

For some peeps audio isn't a hobby

There's millions with shitty razer and logi headsets or such

Prolly a lot more have shit headsets than proper headphones

[rancid hearth]

reason why manufacturers still are able to sell shit audio is becuase the average consumer don't know what good sound is

ironic how the quality of audio products has generally gone down in the mainstream market

[tall anchor]

as long as it doesnt sound like paper im happy

[feral ferry]

And again, not everyone cares for music

Whatever emits mono sound is good enough for some

[rancid hearth]

lol

[feral ferry]

Your amp is on 100% volume or what?

[rancid hearth]

usually it's other way around

[feral ferry]

Typically you want windows volume on 100% and all externals control the audio volume

[fading spade]

🤤

[rancid hearth]

I use eartrumpet for my volume control, only if the application I'm using doesn't already have it's own volume control

[feral ferry]

AND YOU DIDN'T INVITE ME?

[rancid hearth]

[feral ferry]

No wonder you got hammered

Sounds like a "friendzoned" type of response

[rancid hearth]

iems that go over the ear generally feel very light
iems are very affordable, like 10-20$ still get's you something good

whether it's worth it for you or not is on you, but I do believe you should try something out before you decide whether it's worth it or not for you

the existence of apple porting kit has alone killed the tiny bit of interest I did have in the steamdeck

[rancid hearth]

our first mechanical keyboard got us into keyboards the same way

[feral ferry]

Wtf are mechanical keyboards?

Ahh I see, so me topfragging constantly makes you insecure

Wooting was my first keeb that wasn't a 20$ gaming keeb

[barren pewter]

that's a good question
since all definitions widely used are just...really shit

[rancid hearth]

tru

[feral ferry]

Ez rankups though

Fine I can play lurk next time then, you can go get the kills

This guy knows what's up

In eastern europe, nobody buys mechanical

10$ keebs is the shit for everyone

[barren pewter]

I hate how nice that looks

still won't get me to buy a switch XD

[feral ferry]

That was my wife when I told her I got a 200$ Wooting One ngl

(tbf I also got her 200$ Logitech G915 later)

She's been happy with that

[barren pewter]

my previous partners just kinda...stared at me

I think they just accepted I'm a few ounces short of a pint

[feral ferry]

g915 is a bit of a one-of-a-kind like Wooting

[barren pewter]

different desires
low profile, wireless, etc

[feral ferry]

Wireless, incredibly thin

She wanted a keyboard that's really thin

So she was going to buy the Apple keyboards

Cause those are thin

I was like nah fuck this

And got the G915

[fading spade]

LOL

[feral ferry]

Works really well tbf, I don't like it though

For me the keyboard is just too thin

[barren pewter]

tbh
apple magic keyboard is a fuck no

the trackpad though...

yes

I ordered one a couple days ago
will use it between my split keyboard for non-gaming tasks

[fading spade]

This tiny ass computer running SteamOS is faster than the Steam Deck

no shit, its a computer..dont got to worry about battery life and the CPU gets to higher TDP

I hate video titles like that

[barren pewter]

not surprising
the Steam Deck hasn't received an upgrade since launch either

that gap will CONTINUE TO WIDEN

also my mac runs games faster than steam deck
with those limitations

[fading spade]

no shit, M chips are more powerful

[barren pewter]

steam deck is just...

idk

[fading spade]

the fact it can play Cyberpunk at all is impressive though

[barren pewter]

not really

[fading spade]

I can get solid 40FPS

[barren pewter]

Cyberpunk can be pretty light on hardware

[feral ferry]

That's not healthy

[fading spade]

How do I choose what display the deck outputs game mode to????

Cause it only outputs to one display in game mode
And sometimes it's the wrong one

[barren pewter]

this is nuts

[nimble current]

it was a great board in its day

[barren pewter]

converting x86 to ARM and DX11/12 to Metal

and cyberpunk is still very much playable

imagine what even just axing the Rosetta 2 requirement so there's only ONE level of emulation and overhead could do

most of the games I've seen failing to run through apple porting kit are either older titles not using DX11 or 12, or have launcher and DRM BS preventing it from working

some of those games work flawlessly if cracked
and not at all if they're not

[fading spade]

Yep
DRM
The shit that breaks games on every OS they run on

[barren pewter]

...I've never had DRM break a game

[fading spade]

*wreck performance

[barren pewter]

renders emulating and translating nigh impossible though

[fading spade]

Fixed it

[barren pewter]

that sounds like a "my pc isn't powerful enough" issue

although tbh, games now just are horribly optimised
run like shit on any hardware

DRM is just horseshit frosting on the horseshit cake

[fading spade]

Ressy 8 village launch, everyone but people who cracked got terrible performance in some areas of the game

[barren pewter]

that was two DRMs clashing
and the crack only disabled one of them iirc

[fading spade]

hhmm

[barren pewter]

Denuvo and Capcom Anti-cheat

because a single player game needs an anti-cheat

...ALL ACCESS VOUCHER TO SHIT YOU COULD UNLOCK THROUGH NORMAL GAMEPLAY
I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I DID BEFORE IT WAS AVAILABLE
BUT NO, 5 BUCKS AND I COULD JUST...PAY TO WIN

on a more serious note
infinite ammo makes resi games boring as shit

even with the latest games, ammo is almost always a non issue
in RE8, I could almost always scrape together the resourses to make some handgun ammo if nothing else

[slim token]

that's what you get for playing easy

[barren pewter]

this was on hardcore

Resi games really aren't hard

ammo management isn't hard
and if you manage ammo, you'll be fine

[fading spade]

I dislike playing Muse Dash in Proton, there is input delay ;-;

[slim token]

i want to see a mode where you start with all the ammo you need at the beginning

and enemies drop no ammo, unless they are armed

[barren pewter]

tbh
VoS, Madhouse and those difficulties are hard

but that's intentional

drops are rarer, smaller, and enemies are tougher

iirc RE4R even jumbled up the puzzles so you can't just skip sections of the game by knowing the puzzles

[fringe salmon]

bad drm can break performance but you can have decent drm that doesnt break performance, just takes extra time to add

[barren pewter]

although the Ashley armour renders an entire chapter an absolute cakewalk
head back to the library for that AR that is an absolute waste of rifle ammo but great for pesetas to pour into the stingray, a weapon that is not a waste of rifle ammo

[still spire]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FyyUwkyaQAUOj1I.jpg Square Enix did the thing!

Though in this case not apologizing for a broken game

Man this is a weird yearish, so many devs releasing images like this

[slim token]

capcom did it best with re village

[still spire]

At least in this case it's just like please don't leak and spoil shit, rather than "Sorry we fucked up"

[slim token]

don't leak our game or you'll be sorry

[young hill]

Nice so timelines of updates, devs apologizing about broken game now the trend will be notes for beating people ass for leaks

Sounds more like shifting blame to someone unrelated for a distraction while also not taking responsibility for producing media a lot of people desire and expect every person to behave. Google for example already recognized the leak issue for hardware and just embraced it by inducing it themselves.

FFXVI's NG+ sounds amazing

https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-16s-new-game-plus-brings-a-whole-new-challenge-iggg-first

New enemy types, changed enemy placements, new weapons and even mechanics

[bleak pike]

Ngl I wasn't super impressed with the trailer

But an insider I know who tests games said it's dope

And runs well

[tough jay]

Payday 2 definitely suffered from being stretched long past it's prime, but I keep an open mind to payday 3

[orchid prism]

Never could get into it.

Weird hybrid of stealth heist and Left 4 Dead, but with cops.

[tough jay]

Had a group to play it with around launch and a year or two after it.
It works best with a fixed group of people

[orchid prism]

I remember enjoying the sneaky side of things. But the second it turns into a bullet hell I'm just out.

TIL the PS5 can't play CDs
But the Xbox Series X can!

https://youtu.be/tFFMoWSjxcI

[fringe salmon]

the ps4 already didnt so thats nothing surprising

[fading spade]

I guess it makes sense
Xbox like to also be a media center too

[nimble current]

why is technology so cucked these days

[fading spade]

Not just purely for gaming

Oo
It opens Media Player by default when a CD is inserted (after you are promoted to install media player the first time you put a CD in)
Very neat

[fringe salmon]

licensing iirc, would add more cost to add it even if the laser on it can already do it

[fading spade]

It does seem software locked on PS5

Since it seems to know you inserted a CD into it

That's below 1440p?

[young hill]

Bethesda was never good for optimization

When can be suprised

[feral ferry]

Unofficial Starfield Patch when?

Tbf Skyrim ran really really well on borderline anything

My ancient A4 AMD APU ran that shit with its iGPU

[young hill]

Skyrim also has physics tied to franerate

[feral ferry]

I have never once seen that as a problem

[fringe salmon]

this is on series X so they expect it to run 4k

[feral ferry]

Lol how

[fringe salmon]

so yes running even lower than 1440p and not hitting 30fps is a joke

[feral ferry]

Are they expecting to even be able to run it with Series S?

[fringe salmon]

1440p 30fps

[feral ferry]

Yeah but if Series X can't do that

Series S would maybe to 720p30?

[fringe salmon]

that would be like cyberpunk levels of bad lmfao

the one X is better than series S bc a bit more ram in some cases lol

clocks dont matter, vastly different cpus

They need to git gud, I put an SSD in my one X but sadly SATA 3.0 interface

[fading spade]

oh, hello

[young hill]

What about interally

So heat

A lot of it

Good to know

Again

Heat

No

Please do share

I know they have modular components

And it looks cool

But I do not know the specifics of the so called heat sink

Oh pish posh then

Can if one has the will

Is there no recovery image

That is how I handled it on the one x

Well until then fair enough

But if that ever happens people will put larger ssds

If they did a copy of the file system

Not surprised

One x

Behaves the same

That is fine

But if there is a recovery image

Some day

Then it can possibly to boost internal storage

Also about those cards getting a better situation

I think crucial or western digital

Is gonna to sell one soon

That is still pretty good

But yeah Sony got the upper hand

Speaking of how microcenter prices compare

I might buy another 4.0 nvme

That one is definitely overpriced

For that price can do 4tb of fast nvme 4.0

Even more interesting is 8tb costs $1k

Could go hard drives as well

Much more storage

Unless the person lives in California or something

Or is incredibly violet and aggressive

Have a hard time believing they will not last a long time

That might be overdoing it

My hard drive in my original pre built

Has lasted 5 years

Not a nas

But several windows resets and formats

Had Linux on it once

Now it is back for game use

Exactly why getting smaller ones in bulk is smarter

If necessary

Simple is always best

But sd cards suck

Maybe in like 5 years

Could be less cost prohibitive

I might maybe turn my own pre built into a server

None of family wants to use it despite it being a powerful gaming pc

From 2014-2015

Cool dvd box

[neon narwhal]

can I be your family? I could always use another PC.

[young hill]

Yeah

That is heavy

Then look at blurays

Like what 80-100

And I think games at least from Sony run off of them

[fading spade]

IDK why that reminded me of this mom who refused to let her son buy a gaming PC for school because she thought that you could only use a gaming PC for gaming and anything else wasnt possible on it

I mean, if you pick a case like my one, you could bring it into an office without anyone being the wiser

Mine is just a big black rectangle with absolutely no RGB

no more big towers?

Even my last work was remote

didnt even see my managers face

Anywhere hiring here has not gotten back to my after I made my application .-.

IN PERSON interview also

I had to drive 2 hours each way

I have no choice

15 minutes of that drive is on a road barely wider than my car

TAS?

[orchid prism]

Tool assisted runs. Basically using the magic of being able to pre-record inputs to make "perfect, inhuman" speedruns and whatnotr.

[nimble current]

so basically people having too much time on their hands that could be put to better use?

[orchid prism]

I mean yeah technically? Doing the same bit over and over, adjusting inputs by a frame here and there to get a "perfect jump" or something.

i think its really cool to set a in human standard to strive towards, celeste speedruns have been helped immensely by there tas runs

They could solve world hunger - I just personally find them boring to watch. That's all I said 😄

[charred cove]

im aware, was just contributing to the convo 😄

[orchid prism]

you're

I can't believe PCworld and ASUS would dig up decade old memes like that 😄

Jesus. If I breathed on it, it'd leave more of a permanent mark than that.

I should fucking hope so

oh my xd

LOL you cant open the quick settings menu when the Ally is docked

you must walk over to the console and press the button on it to do that

[fallow bronze]

How do you do that on the steam deck?

[fading spade]

Menu button + A

so in the case of an Xbox type controller, Xbox Button + A

ALl the shortcuts you can do on the Deck controller work on external controllers too

Like Steam + Right bumper for screenshot etc etc

They even work when using a controller in Desktop mode :D

Though, on external controller, you must hold down the xbox button for slightly longer than doing the same combo on the deck itself

you must make sure the Deck knows the button is held down, so hold it for about a second as you do the combo

You can also hold down Xbox + Y for 10 seconds to turn the controller off, if you still want to use the Deck but without the external controller
Very useful for me, ive done that many times so far when undocking the Deck without turning it off first

Oh no... https://www.gamescensor.com/2023/06/hideo-kojimas-bold-vision-creating-game.html

[fading spade]

Spec Ops the Line crashed on me and idk why... cause I played it for 5 hours already and it hasnt before

[feral ferry]

I've seen this one before

Maybe Kojima is the one to make a good space game

But knowing kojima it'll prolly be just green alien women with big tiddies

[orchid prism]

As long as he stays the fuck away from scriptwriting 😄

[feral ferry]

Although

Kojima could make a good horror game in space

Alien Isolation-ish

I don't trust him with exploration

But horror? Yeah he could make a good alien horror game

[fading spade]

Where do I find the dump file? it gives the file name in the crash report but not the location

[orchid prism]

Could uh... always search for it.

[fringe salmon]

https://www.google.com/search?q=spec+ops+the+line+crash+dump+file

[fading spade]

I did

its not there, no logs folder

[orchid prism]

And doing a file search didn't reveal anything either?

[narrow badge]

looks solid to me

[fading spade]

anyway to stop this check?

if I boot the game without internet connection it just stays on this indefinetly

Spec Ops The Line

🤔

Hmm, was not encrypted for me, good!

[pseudo adder]

anyone tryna run some apex ranked

[fading spade]

....

so expensive ;-;

[young hill]

Just a bit more

Also headset material quality from the images looks to have improved

[fringe salmon]

its barely more than the quest 2 and still heavily subsidized lol

[fading spade]

allegedly 40% better than 2

with color passthrough

and more MR things too

[fringe salmon]

yes the announcement was like 2 weeks ago

[feral ferry]

Maybe I should sell my Quest 2

It's in a fine condition

[fringe salmon]

you should have done that when they raised prices since its not dropped back to original prices xd

[feral ferry]

Well tbf I was still using it back then

But I'm kind of done with VR as it's mostly a gimmick anyways

[bleak pike]

Aye I knew, I've played it many times.

My fave game there

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1NFm6nAZJ8
Satisfactory, but someone is Sus and sabotaging everything.

[bleak pike]

I need to play some satisfactory again soon

[orchid prism]

Something something NDA COVERED for way too many hours over the week, so I don't need to jump into Satisfactory for a while. Maybe once they've ironed out the worst Unreal 5 kinks 😄

[feral ferry]

Damn the marketing machine for this game is spinning

[barren pewter]

The issue is that it sets the standard of pricing that people feel they should pay

And therefore an index is “grossly overpriced”

Meanwhile I’m just waiting for the deckard

Prepared to drop more than the cost of an index on it too

Obviously

[slim token]

still angy that they increased the sale badge from 25000 to 40000

im hoarding mine for futre sale badges

only bought one intro movie

the steam big picture intro should have been free

[icy ledge]

Anyone playing Diablo 4 with there wooting? 😄

[fringe salmon]

does not work with analog if thats the question

[nimble current]

https://tenor.com/view/ummmmmm-excuse-me-what-gif-19629790

[icy ledge]

Was moundering if you could set it up to have WASD act as a controller and mouse for everything else

[orchid prism]

For Diablo 4? No.

Game won't let you use a controller and mouse at the same time.

[nimble current]

don't make me pull out a rolled up newspaper

[barren pewter]

Likewise honestly

June 23rd Direct according to this semi-reliable source

Metroid Prime 4

[slim token]

they will say on the 20

[feral ferry]

MP4 is highly likely to appear in the next Direct

Cause of movements in metroid prime website

It got updated

[pure bear]

getting metroid prime 4 but have it shackled to the switch would be really bittersweet

[feral ferry]

I'm just saying I told you that MGS3 Remake was going to happen, and you were ignorant

I'm telling you I am reasonably sure that Metroid Prime 4 would be in the next direct
