What I wanted to share is, I saw this
https://youtu.be/NTM-dL91BgU https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/16gg149/guys_the_physics_in_this_game/
And honestly, I think that the physics engine, which I think is just havok anyways based on the engine code, is some of the best I have seen
Any of these lists are just braindead by brainrotten individuals, for brainrotten individuals
Like, none of those games are conservative
Metro, you fight communists and nazis in the early games, and later slave owners, abusive people and just scum in general for a better tomorrow.
Persona, you fight criminals to bring justice to the place.
Fire emblem afaik, you are the good guys in fight against evil.
STALKER is just a bunch of lads having fun in chernobyl exclusion zone lol
There's nothing "conservative" about any of these titles
Like, why Zelda?
You always fight Ganon to bring peace to the world
Why's that conservative
Or is it conservative cause nor Link, nor Zelda are black? 
Muh representation
pure bear
because conservatives havent mentally matured beyond good vs evil yet
feral ferry
The only game in that list, which I would be somewhat classifying as "conservative" just cause of the core nature of the game, which is also a SANDBOX, so craft-your-own-story kit, is Rimworld
Like, there are a lot of "negative" features in there
But it's a sandbox about a colony trying to survive, nothing inherently bad
Lionhead 
OG Fable was fun
Molyneux has went to shit since then
feral ferry
bc great game?
You are talking to some derailed lad that just spouts negativity on every corner, don't give them the satisfaction
unborn spruce
I mean this is a good point.
feral ferry
Found 2 new guns I haven't seen today
unborn spruce
Bro isn't wrong, at some stage after nice high quality space sims existing for ages we should be able to do the whole wander around endlessly thing.
feral ferry
And I agree with the firearms historian guy
Why did they decide that taking the M1911 and making it "modern" in Starfield era is a good idea
Like, there's no point in using .45 ACP in year 2150 or whatever
quiet vault
sad that there is no upgraded cutter
unborn spruce
Like, there's no point in using .45 ACP in year 2150 or whatever
I mean the weird bit isn't even that it's a 1911, it's that anyone is using weapons this archaic in 127 years.
Like what, did military just decide to not evolve almost at all lmao?
feral ferry
sad that there is no upgraded cutter
Can't you upgrade it in the workshop?
I honestly don't even carry the cutter at all anymore lol
Resources are alright but I just gather them from looting anyways
feral ferry
Like what, did military just decide to not evolve almost at all lmao?
They did
7.77mm caseless is the predominant gun, and laser weapons
There's also weird prototype laser projectile weapons that do both, kinda like a laser accelerated railgun, but handheld and fully auto
unborn spruce
I mean that's... not a lot of evolution in 127 years. Like genuinely not.
feral ferry
It's just that some company decided that M1911 still needs to exist
feral ferry
I mean that's... not a lot of evolution in 127 years. Like genuinely not.
Where else we'll evolve?
Caseless and case-telescoped ammunition is for current day military, the future of ballistics
In the far future we can speak about railguns and laser weapons
Battery tech does not exist right now
Oh, Starfield takes place in year 2330
unborn spruce
Can't tell you, there's no way of knowing. What I can tell you is if in 30 years phones went from Trek style communicators to actual space magic by comparison glass tablets then I find it staggeringly difficult to believe that nobody moves ahead of caseless ammo that's existed since the 20th century and enough laser improvements to make them portable.
feral ferry
I don't use humans at all going away from ballistics
Optical firearms are becoming a thing, but we need the battery tech, and from current research it's a bit bleak on that
unborn spruce
3 centuries is a loooooong time, y'know?
tired knoll
need a 5th in valorant
lmk
unborn spruce
We went from like garbage rifles to the F-35 Lightning 2 in less than 150 years. The sheer improvement in double that time? Yoooo.
feral ferry
You also have to consider that per Starfield canon, Earth went to shit, and all remaining humans just dispersed into space, there's little of collective effort remaining
I think most of the starfield tech that exists, is like 200 years old research cause humanity just went to shit and destroyed Earth
What's left is just using the old research cause it's good enough
unborn spruce
Yeah that's valid to some degree. The biggest stuff really stopping human expansion is resource scarcity which disappears when you have space travel.
Say like gold is expensive to work with, but not when you mine trillions of tons of it out of asteroids.
Raw material go brrrrrr
feral ferry
Yeah but what it appears to be is that while there are mining rigs on asteroids and in planets, with FTL interplanetary travel
Most of all that manufacturing is just robots
Science seems to have very much stagnated
orchid prism
Also the remaining space is recovering after a bloody war between two halves that ended twenty years ago.
Gotta lick wounds.
Mecha being banned probably didn't help either.
feral ferry
And now that space pirates have claimed half of the galaxy's abandoned military bases
unborn spruce
Big disappointing tho. All I'm waiting for is a space sim that lets me walk around in my hyper future ship while I fly in space that actually follows a touch of realism with ridiculous uncapped technology like AI.
unborn spruce
F to pay respects for science.
feral ferry
Tbf, what's the point of science at that point?
You have sentient AI tech, which was banned, but it exists
Robots handle everything
Nearly everything can be autonomized without any human input
Food just became flavoured gel cubes that I imagine are just made by robots
Guns are as well, good enough even if the tech behind them is like 300 years old, just cause spacesuit armor is just limited by material science and reality, so a 7.77mm is good enough
At that point, what's the point of trying? You have everything

LK-99 switches. 
feral ferry
Superconducting switches
unborn spruce
Love how many people that material fooled like it wasn't painfully obvious it wasn't a superconductor.
unborn spruce
Pff. It's long since been worked out.
unborn spruce
Contamination in the sample the dudes made was causing effects that mimic superconductivity at high temps. This got worked out weeks ago.
feral ferry
I didn't see anything yet on the original ones, the report hasn't come out yet
unborn spruce
Basically they were baking the material like one does to make a superconductor and some copper contamination was playing a fool.
If you make it not contaminated then it doesn't superconduct at all. Just bad QC from a novice group that forgot to check.
More importantly than that it really doesn't matter if it was a superconductor or not because it isn't in useful form. You can't really make wires or flexible material out of something very brittle and this is well studied since we've had room temp superconductors for some 40 years now, they're just not good or useful for anything unless they're made of reasonable materials with a decent process and actually can be turned into useful stuff like cables.
Just all of them are in bricks or slabs or little blocks, nobody has managed to make a room temp superconductor that actually works to make cables or something useful.
feral ferry
Man I love how polarized gaming community is
It's very much horribly optimized
It's very much not buggy
Man there are so many double standards
Although it's predictable how it works
Baldur's Gate 3: don't you even dare criticize it on launch, it's perfect, and it shall not be debated. 1 month later: it's fuckin broken
Starfield: It's fucking shit, terrible game. 1 month later: oh fuck, it's not that bad after all
It all comes full circle anyways
BG3 is not as incredible as some people make it out to be, but Larian are fixing it so there's that
I did read they are planning to completely revise the ending of the game
Cause BG3's ending is absolutely horrible compared to the rest of the experience
feral ferry
Also, on the topic of BG3, I think it would only be fair to rate it by removing the early access content, and seeing what it launched with
Which is I think mainly just Arc 3, that was the new content
Arc 1 was a thing for a long time, and Arc 2 is somewhat recent, hence the underdeveloped nature of it
Arc 3, just by itself, is very much not great if you rate it on release
The whole package? Marvelous, but it's also a package that was released years ago and then built up
Still fair to give it GOTY

oooooo you can tell the Steam Deck to always boot from USB if a bootable USB drive is plugged into it

stupid question
are companies going to bake that into the price they sell to consumers at?
or directly pass them on
a redownload surcharge
tough jay
As it stands the fee does not seem high enough for that
fringe salmon
no clue since stuff will likely change
tough jay
of course this is the way to easy everyone into the idea
I personally doubt it will be charged to consumers anytime soon, as I don't think it would be worth the outrage, and it probably averages out anyway.
What I can see happening is smaller games that are sold for cheap to reconsider going to something else than Unity, especially if the fee increases.
fading spade
fringe salmon
ah yeah the insider trading that checks notes makes them sell shares and then the price goes up
small comet
we will see how it pans out
tough jay
Indeed, policy changes like this are generally not something that drops the stock price.
If you expect that to be the case, you probably won't introduce them.
small comet
really depends on if studios ditch it doesnt it
fringe salmon
if anything this goes up because investors love microtransactions
tough jay
Unless someone on the board disagrees with the rest.
fringe salmon
and just calling it insider trading because of this is far fetched
tough jay
Recurring revenue, makes their nipples hard
fringe salmon
could literally be they got stock optinos that ended that day and they literally couldnt sell earlier
barren pewter
vesting periods are a bitch
and yeah monetization is fucking great
saying that you'll make RECURRING revenue on top of everything else?
that's AWESOME from a balance sheet standpoint
as long as it doesn't hurt actual sales of the underlying products as they currently exist
tough jay
Also insider trading by board members should not be much of a thing in general.
As I understand it they have to basically publicly announce their stock trades beforehand.
As obviously people working at the company have insider knowledge.

Since it's based on an "install" even pirating copies would trigger a charge to the og company
trim rock
But how does it work? Does it phone home?
So essentially all Unity games require internet activation?
severe compass
Yeah, it sounds like Unity will phone home everyime it's installed and then charge the developer 0.20 USD
Thing is, this fee applies after 200,000 installs even if the game is free. So if you make a lil game, that just happens to get extremely popular. And it pulls in over 1,200,000 downloads, you gotta pay 1,000,000x0.20 = $200,000
On your FREE game

The pricing change will probably get Godot more traction in the space of mobile games, where those costs per install really rack up.

Of course not saying it is, but unity's license fees do hurt on mobile games with huge install bases compared to their revenue

you can jack up prices you cant make an engine run on something it doesnt have

Not saying it can, but it may be a tipping point for some. Even if the numbers remain low in the end the increase could be noticable.

Did you misunderstand what Mansen was saying?
It's annoying when you find a weapon that's low tiered, but has all the good improvements, like a legendary

does that mean you don't like technology if you're not sexually attracted to this thing?

That's phobe, phile is the opposite.
feral ferry
Just allow the player to mod the weapon into a higher tier
drifting rose
That's phobe, phile is the opposite.
pretty sure I got it the right way around. not being sexually attracted to technophile's rifle = doesn't like technology (ergo, a phobe)
feral ferry
You got it the wrong way around
It's called technoPHILE's cause the guy that had that rifle came all over it, and modded the hell out of it
Hence it's so heavily modded, and phile's

No that's my bad. My brain doesn't handle double negatives well in a run on sentence.

Well when you're doing the ship shooting the targeting stuff is kinda VATSy
small comet
so dont need to buy it got it
orchid prism
Sure - But it's only used to shoot specific parts of a ship. It's not needed to autoaim. You already have that.
feral ferry
I'd argue though
Starfield gunplay is pretty damn impressive
Just by itself
Weapons have a good amount of heft to them

GUNplay is. Gun GAMEPLAY is not.

There's also the, eh, magic system that brings a lot more fun into it as well

I mean, unity says reinstalls are not impacted

Unity ceo also said they would never retroactively change contracts like that
So word doesn’t mean much

Ngl that I don’t think is legal
Unless devs agree to new tos
As the old tos said you can keep going by it
Or any older version
fringe salmon
Not about that part but yea
severe compass
I mean, unity says reinstalls are not impacted
How will Unity measure installs?
If by hardware ID or IP then someone can make a spoofing program and reinstall a game thousands of times at a time.
If the game is free and installs are measured by steam ID then someone can make a bot that makes new accounts and installs.
Charging by "install" is just insane for a game engine that previously had no royalties, especially because unity seems to think they can illegally force those on older contracts to move to the new one
The CEO had previously called game developers who made free games "idiots", so he seems to look down upon them

At a time when EA was pushing to be a “100 percent digital only publisher” under Riccitiello’s leadership, the CEO claimed that paying per bullet was great for the future of gaming.
“It’s a great model and it represents a substantially better future for the industry,” Riccitiello said.```
   You should also know that Ricci here has been the reason why FIFA introduced microtransactions
Then got fired for incompetence
And now he's ruining Unity

I think in the short term it will work. the cost of porting a finished project onto a whole other engine in a couple of months would be way higher than coughing up the fee at least for a while

Oh no.
I knew it. Bungie has some fuckin' goober in there making the brain dented choices like this. That's the only valid explanation.
Nobody makes a balance change that bad on purpose without mental degradation.
Can't wait for Trials to turn into nothing but shotgun juggernaut titans sliding around with grenades.
Like yeah ok Bungie, 'nerf' it in the most meaningless way imaginable because no Titan main has had to care about class energy in like 4 years.

I expect marginally better than 'haha titan go whoosh'.
Like don't get me wrong, Titan supers are dogshit and Edge of Action is literally just Ward of Dawn but better in every way since the damage buff gets overwritten by Well, but holy shit buff Titans where they need it instead of 'nerfing' an OP exotic.
Just look at strand, the real Titan super is Banner of War, who cares about this 6th wandering melee super they have.
