[novel umbra]

what

have I been looking at a different leak then you

[feral ferry]

Isn't it like half a cylinder?

[novel umbra]

no

that is a full cylinder

[feral ferry]

Wait it's literally a bottle

[novel umbra]

wdym bottle

[feral ferry]

I thought they made it cool and cut it in half

Fuckin KFC bucket

[novel umbra]

it is a cylinder

[feral ferry]

I actually really liked the design cause I envisioned it as half a cylinder

So it would go flush to the wall

[novel umbra]

bruh

[feral ferry]

If it's just a bucket then bleh

[novel umbra]

this is a bucket

see the sloped sides

[orchid prism]

Did they at least unfuck the SSD mount

[feral ferry]

Has that ever come out?

[novel umbra]

we have only seen one render of it

[orchid prism]

That's the only thing I can think of that could absolve removing the optical drive

[novel umbra]

afaik no

UNKLEEEEEEEEEEEN

[feral ferry]

server crashes

[unborn spruce]

Dear god…

[fading spade]

LOL

[tough jay]

Wait, you have to use Reee or reeeee now?
I certainly hope it's not a filter based on partial matches.

[orchid prism]

Is this not just satire?

Surely Nintendo aren't banning references that have been dead and unused for... years

[tough jay]

I would call neither of them unused though and it's still nintendo we are talking about

[orchid prism]

I haven't heard anyone say either in what feels like years.

[tough jay]

On this server reeee was last used this month.

We also have which are actively used herre

[fading spade]

Yeah I wonder does the check account for any amount of "e" or just that many xf

[tough jay]

In general partial matches are bad, reeee would be somewhat harmless but thot you would also block these words: https://wordfinder.yourdictionary.com/words-with-the-letter/thot/?dictionary=WWF

[nimble current]

reeeeeeeeee doesn't get old

pepe is eternal

[feral ferry]

Reeeee!

[orchid prism]

[still spire]

Well at least we all stopped saying the f ayyee double gee word in response to things

But yeah we got this young kid on another server who uses reee a lot

So it's still going on

I'd recommend Carto, chill game

Yeah

Next up is Postal and as soon as that's finished it's either High on life or Alan Wake 2

[unborn spruce]

Nintendo released a console with a GPU that was out of date before the console released.

You really think being late isn't something they are pros at?

[cerulean dock]

Can't wait to count out your coin!

[austere cedar]

Hello, are you using tachyon mode? Can you feel the difference and which game do you play.

[unborn spruce]

Yes I use tachyon mode, no there's not really a massive difference. It's just very snappy, and about 95% of that feeling comes from Rapid Trigger.

[frank crag]

hi, anyone know if dks would be detected by faceit anti-cheat?

and some setting recommendations for valorant and cs:go?

[austere cedar]

What game do you play?

[unborn spruce]

Destiny 2 for the most part, though Cyberpunk recently and it works really well for a Sandevistan hyper ninja that can dash faster than cars.

[severe compass]

To be faaaiiirrr on the outdated GPU: It was cheaper
To not be fair, even Nintendo first party games like Tears of The Kingdom are suffering from the constraints. I found that game to constantly drop frames even in docked mode

[feral ferry]

Who?

[tough jay]

I still have mine right here be it ips modded with a new casing. some caps replaced and the membranes replaced

[still spire]

I weirdly have dreams about playing on a GBC or GBA and wake up wanting to buy another(mine are long gone lmao)

But then I remember how dumb that'd be as anything can emulate them easily these days

And something like a Steamdeck would be far more practical

Not a fan of phone touch screens so yeah

[tough jay]

Sure you can emulate them, but the feel is different on a dedicated handheld.

as for phones, you can connect a controller

[still spire]

I get that

But it's more the feeling of that era that I'm craving

Every game new, every experience new

[tough jay]

It's not for everyone but I personally enjoy it + I have always had the hardware, just improved it.

I also quite enjoyed modding mine.

[proud vortex]

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

damn someone didnt pay attention to when valve shut down sites that did csgo skin gamble and such

[trim rock]

Yeah maybe

I miss betting my skins on matches

[vital wyvern]

I miss mtx and skins not existing

good days

[still spire]

Mm

I do too

back when only Korean f2P games had them

[barren pewter]

Good times

or when skins were an in game unlock or just free by default when you unlocked what you put the skins on

That was the golden age of skins

[fringe salmon]

this time its just internet explorer though

[fading spade]

Anyone know how to make CS2 not a 24FPS stutter on Deck?

[fringe salmon]

yes wait and hope for them to fix linux/steam deck performance

[fading spade]

it runs bad on Linux in general and not just the Deck?

[fringe salmon]

both

[fading spade]

can switch back to legacy

[fringe salmon]

yeah for like offline stuff and replays

[vapid lintel]

You managed to launch the game?! AMAZING! Here, take this achievement, you've earned it.

[fringe salmon]

given the amount of people that own games they never start it is worth an celebration

[vapid lintel]

I suppose in that sense it's a mildly interesting statistic

[barren pewter]

Yeah

Something like 5-8% of F:NV owners haven’t completed “ain’t that a kick in the head”

literally just character creation

[fringe salmon]

and I think steam stats only track people that ever launched the game

but that might have changed since then

[bleak pike]

Literally me

[novel umbra]

otherwise would be preferable for comp fps lol

[vital carbon]

yeah and if you want a big one they are way to expensive

on 2k ultrawide i got around 230 fps on maxed settings

i just checked it

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3051704863

i like it

takes a while to get used to ultrawide but no i dont wanna go back

why should it look like that XD ?

[fading spade]

domt you hate that a lot of music videos on youtube are shot in 21:9 but edited to 16:9...so you end up with a 21:9 image with black borders to make it 16:9 and more black borders on the sides

[tough jay]

Camera perspective in a lot of games just doesn't seem to work well using ultra wides.
Or at least it didn't back when I was still using eyefinity.

[fading spade]

instead of just not having black borders on the original to force it to 16:9

[vital carbon]

i dont care about black bars on videos tbh

but might be cause i dont watch videos on full screen most of the time

[fading spade]

I used to have an extension that did it

I notice audio in MPV is also better than on Youtube, even if streaming from youtube to MPV

hehe

Another Minecraft mob vote, another community outrage

You'd think Mojang would... nah, no they won't do anything about it

[orchid prism]

Might not buy additional stuff on the consolised version though

they don't exactly make their reputation any better

[nimble current]

underfunded psychiatric healthcare in the UK

[drowsy vigil]

they don't even have a case lmao

we need oil currently to progress in society. But let's not get political

[nimble current]

at this point am starting to think big oil hired these guys to make climate protesting seem as unappealing as possible

[drowsy vigil]

haha yeah that's a good theory

[nimble current]

because what sane individual wants to associate with these clowns

[drowsy vigil]

im all for green energy. but these protests are just dumb xD

[nimble current]

yeah ofc we need to move away from oil but we're not there yet

[drowsy vigil]

yeah. and eventually we will run out of oil

hmm. how is this gaming related (the channel description)

[nimble current]

eh its kinda on topic with gaming, I've seen more offtopic discussions here

just don't go off too spicy with the politics and controversies and its usually fine

[orchid prism]

[bleak pike]

Sad but true

[drowsy vigil]

so uh. Do I get AMD or Nvidia

[bleak pike]

I don't think they have cards in my price range

[fringe salmon]

that actually was the case for some other group like this

quite the rabbithole

[nimble current]

~~its the same here sadly but prolly not the place to discuss ~~

[drowsy vigil]

we also have underfunded psychiatric healthcare here

it seems to be common

[nimble current]

I think most countries do unfortunately

[drowsy vigil]

not getting political here but it's commonly agreed that it's underfunded in Denmark

[nimble current]

even well off ones like mine

🇸🇪 here

[drowsy vigil]

Eyy Scandinavian brotha

[nimble current]

I seem to recall hearing something like that too but can't member what

[fringe salmon]

like some oil concerns daugther that funded a pro co2 neutral campaign and that funded one like this but they get their funding from oil compan constantly etc.

@young hill wonder why

[young hill]

Definitely has some resemblance

[orchid prism]

Seems like a bit of a reach.

[bleak pike]

Just use it for gaming

[fringe salmon]

that doesnt answer the question

Under the assumption the spectator is working correctly

Could always be a different sort of mess

[deft bloom]

there has always been a little bit of desync between spec and player pov, but nothing this egregious. there is 100% something fucked up in the game right now

it has been 1-2 ticks at most, not 3 full seconds

the selling point for valve was what you see is what you get. the game is currently in a what you see is what the fuck kind of state

[feral ferry]

https://VXtwitter.com/JamieMoranUK/status/1713728891276177450

That explains why Starfield is seeing no updates

[orchid prism]

[feral ferry]

Team prolly went on vacation and got told to go work on TES6

So they prolly have like maximum 10 developers working on SF updates

I wonder who the hell is working on the DLCs then

[orchid prism]

Probably an outside studio under supervision?

[feral ferry]

Well BGS does have multiple studios itself

Idk tbf, they are woefully out of schedule rn

Starfield should have launched 2 years ago, TESVI is supposed to launch this year or someshit like that

[deft bloom]

wut

[feral ferry]

I wonder how profitable Starfield was, Cyberpunk initially was received poorly but it made back those 600 million dollars dev costs on launch

[deft bloom]

who was expecting tesvi for this year? since the announcement it was clearly it's gonna be like 2026

[feral ferry]

Microsoft was

[deft bloom]

meh, don't think so

[feral ferry]

Well if you don't trust Microsoft's own documents then what can I tell you

COVID fucked up everything

[fringe salmon]

MS was expecting that in the year before Covid

That doesn’t mean it never changed for them xD

[feral ferry]

I genuinely don't think SF was ever going to launch before 2022

Like, I think it launched in a fairly good state stability wise, but it's still not in a great state

[deft bloom]

what is this then

[feral ferry]

Where tf did you find that

[deft bloom]

https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/18/23878504/the-elder-scrolls-6-2026-release-xbox-exclusive

this is straight from the ftc case

[feral ferry]

Tbf the documents are all over the place

[novel umbra]

I mean it was quite clear from the first announcement that it wouldn't be out until 2025 or later

[feral ferry]

2026 is realistic, somewhat, for current expectations

[novel umbra]

we don't know from when that is

[feral ferry]

2018-19 probably

[novel umbra]

probably

aka

might be pre covid

prob is

[feral ferry]

https://www.eurogamer.net/leaked-bethesda-roadmap-reveals-unannounced-releases-including-dishonored-3

July 2020

So, later than expected

Makes sense why they start with fiscal year 2020

Well Starfield was supposed to launch in 2021, we know that didn't happen

Take TES6 and add 2-3 years of dev time that Starfield instead borrowed and you land in 26-27

That Indiana Jones game I wonder in what sort of limbo it's at, that's also by Todd and SF I bet took priority

[deft bloom]

well anyway based on how SF turned out my hype for tesvi is very literally non-existent

[feral ferry]

I never took Starfield for much more than a modding sandbox

But it was alright the way the game itself was, had some good moments

[nimble current]

beth will release another 2012 tier game in a few years again dw

and critics will laud it again

[feral ferry]

I mean if the roadmap is right, they will literally re-release a game straight out of 2010s

Oblivion and FO3 remasters would be sick, though

[nimble current]

knowing bethesda they'd barely look any different from what they did in the 00s

cReAtIoN eNgInE gOoD fOr A fEw MoRe YeArS aMiRiTe GuYs

[feral ferry]

I mean.. yes?

I liked the improvements they did to it

They should fix the performance though

[fringe salmon]

Can’t wait for next gen consoles to get TES6 and it runs like shit again

[nimble current]

its a piece of shit in todays market lets be real here

[feral ferry]

That is pretty likely

[nimble current]

can barely pass through a door without a cutscene or screen go dark moment

[feral ferry]

I mean, considering it's fully modifiable which is the whole point of it

I think it's alright

Modders could figure out level streaming themselves and mod that in

[fringe salmon]

That applies to all engines

[feral ferry]

Uh, no?

[hardy merlin]

As is Unity, as is Source 1/2, and it's only when it comes from user end

[feral ferry]

Source is pretty good, yah

Unity is afaik far more moddable than Unreal is

UE modding has always been finnicky

[novel umbra]

newest COD still runs on quake 3 wdym

[hardy merlin]

From dev end pretty much every engine is very moddable, be it Unity, UE (which even provide it's own source code), Godot, Source...

[novel umbra]

just modified a bit

[fringe salmon]

Unity is easier to decompile and inject code into because it’s c#

[feral ferry]

Well when we are talking about not-commercial engines

Like idk, Frostbite? Cry?

[hardy merlin]

Apex Legends still runs on modified Source

[feral ferry]

Not that many are allowing for mod support

Creation is entirely meant to be modded beyond recognition

[novel umbra]

apex engine is much closer to source than the IW engine is to quake 3

[feral ferry]

Which is.. quite cool

[novel umbra]

no

it's just that bethestda publishes decent modding tools

[feral ferry]

Which is more than most companies do

[novel umbra]

not to that extent

[nimble current]

modding isn't really a good argument for the quality of the engine or the game itself imo

[hardy merlin]

Creation may be moddable, but it's also and old piece of crap held together by duck tape

[nimble current]

its just what beth fanboys typically bring up when you criticize how bland their games are out of the box

[feral ferry]

Gmod is shit then

[nimble current]

thing is, half-life 2 is actually a great game as it is already

[novel umbra]

well yea

[feral ferry]

Tbf considering it's a Bethesda title, I know I will mod the fuck out of Starfield years later

[novel umbra]

if you don't mod you miss out on a lot with bethesda games

hl2 already is pretty good on it's own though

[hardy merlin]

That's the point - Beth games are never 10/10, are not masterpieces, are not something wow - but they're still incredibly fun and extremely modable
Beth fanboys be thinking Starfield is the best thing made since sliced bread

[feral ferry]

Like, again, if we are completely ignoring the fact that Bethesda games are a modding heaven

Starfield as nothing else but just a game

For me it was a.. solid 6/10

Knock a few points down cause of shit performance

Also the main quest is fucking boring

[nimble current]

which is kinda sad coming from a studio with their manpower and budget imo

[deft bloom]

wait what is this honest review hour

[feral ferry]

But I enjoyed the combat, sidequests were pretty good

And I will get a fuck ton of mods

So it's win for me

[novel umbra]

imo starfield is like no mans sky with a bit more purpose

[hardy merlin]

And loading screens

[novel umbra]

the faction quests in starfield are pretty great

[nimble current]

idk I'll probably pick it up on discount in a few years

[feral ferry]

Idk what they did to SF but the loading screens were hella short

[novel umbra]

it's just that they are there

[nimble current]

by then there's going to be a boatload of mods too

[novel umbra]

and not seamless travel everywhere

[feral ferry]

Maybe a placebo, but I felt like they were shorter than Skyrim's was

[novel umbra]

HDD vs SSD?

[feral ferry]

Nah I played Skyrim on my Samsung 970

Shorter on SF it feels like

[novel umbra]

then idk

maybe the amount of mods layered on each other

[feral ferry]

I do feel that Starfield criticisms are very justified

[hardy merlin]

With mods it's either 4K boobs or more than 10fps, nothing in between

[feral ferry]

Main quest was really good initially up until they told you to go do the whole fetch thing

After which I lost a lot of interest in the game

[novel umbra]

very much

it is a decent game imo

but it has a lot of flaws

[feral ferry]

It's fine, it's a modding sandbox anyways

Can't wait for that Star Wars total conversion mod

Since you can simulate Empire vs Rebels pretty well in SF

[novel umbra]

[feral ferry]

Would need to figure out how to re-implement vehicles though

[novel umbra]

when will we get a decent modern star wars game that is not about being a jedi

smh

[deft bloom]

what would you like to play as, a droid?

[novel umbra]

storm troopers?

or a mercenary

not a new thing

[hardy merlin]

I'd love to see something like SW:Visions, but in video game form

[deft bloom]

they'll just find a way to make them a jedi eventually

[novel umbra]

dark forces was a thing

uhh that game where you played an elite storm troop squad was a thing

[novel umbra]

hey, kyle katarn only was a jedi in part 2

[deft bloom]

yeah that's what I was referring to

[novel umbra]

in df1 he was just the mot badass guy there was without even having the force

man just wiped out half the death star on his own

but fr could be a nice game

maybe let teyon make it

they seem to get gameplay and atmosphere right

impressive for a dev that mainly made ds games

[nimble current]

kyle katarn doesn't need to be a jedi, he's already so OP

[novel umbra]

I have no clue how they pulled it off btw

they have a ton of shovelwhere in their list

[deft bloom]

well only thing you need to be op is be the main character

[novel umbra]

and then a decent terminator fps and the new robocop game

[novel umbra]

I mean before legends he was canoncially the guy that stole the death star plans

[feral ferry]

Wasn't battlefront kinda that?

[novel umbra]

kinda

but I want a single player game

[feral ferry]

It had the whole "hero" thing

[novel umbra]

[feral ferry]

Ah

[feral ferry]

Minecraft mods

[novel umbra]

nah

[deft bloom]

kek

[novel umbra]

doesn't get the aesthetic right

[deft bloom]

idk I'd want something dark, gory and different to pique my interest. a new kotor game might be nice as well, but I only liked the first one anyway

[feral ferry]

https://t.co/CDbMYKH1BW

[deft bloom]

there's so much they could do but nothing interesting is happening

[feral ferry]

Feels like Microsoft might have made a profit by now since buying Mojang

[novel umbra]

same

that is why I am so surprised by teyon

[feral ferry]

Isn't there a KOTOR remake happening?

Is that more like what you want?

[novel umbra]

[feral ferry]

Ngl I have never watched nor played anything from SW franchise so I have little knowledge of the topic

[deft bloom]

there was, but seems to be in some kind of a limbo now that I checked

[novel umbra]

yep

[feral ferry]

https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/super-mario-wonder-is-already-playable-on-pc-in-4k-60fps-via-nintendo-switch-emulators/

I wonder if Switch emulation will die with Switch 2

Considering Irdeto's heavy push to include Denuvo in Nintendo titles

[orchid prism]

Doubtful

[feral ferry]

But then again I just don't think Nintendo will gain anything with that

That Denuvo cost is prolly more than the few sales they would get from people that can't emulate anymore

I do wonder, maybe SteamOS could become Nintendo's next OS

Standardization instead of proprietarization

Could bring titles for PC market too

[fringe salmon]

I really hope switch 2 comes out early enough for a strix halo thing to just be able to bruteforce the emulation when it’s translated

[feral ferry]

Considering that Nintendo's next SoC is prolly stronger than Steam Deck's.. I think

SteamOS on Nintendo would be sick

Offload all that OS work onto Valve, bring games to PC market

Extra sales, good shit

[hardy merlin]

Nintendo stated already that they will allow for Denuvo on Switch, but they have no plans on using it in their own games and don't want anything in common with it https://kotaku.com/nintendo-switch-botw-emulator-pc-piracy-denuvo-drm-1849451287

[feral ferry]

Yeah it's pretty much for EA and Ubisoft or whoever wants to use Denuvo, to use

But Switch 1 already supports Denuvo and afaik we haven't seen any titles use it

[bleak pike]

Why bother I think

[feral ferry]

Irdeto is trying hard to get more cash

[bleak pike]

It's probably reserved for switch 2

[feral ferry]

Fuck Irdeto anyways

[young crow]

"emulator protection" lmfao

[hardy merlin]

Point is if Nintendo doesn't care then emulation won't die - idgaf about EA/Ubisofts crap

[young crow]

if it works, emulator is inaccurate -> emulator gets patched to be more accurate -> protection stops working

[feral ferry]

Always online emulator protection ftw

[novel umbra]

might not even work lol

[hardy merlin]

In response to follow-up questions, Denuvo confirmed that the DRM won’t rely on online checks. “We are aware that the Nintendo Switch is a mobile console and therefore has limited online capabilities, so we designed our solution to be fully offline, no online checks required,” a spokesperson wrote back.

[novel umbra]

also would be kinda a death sentence for a switch game

[young crow]

“Even if a game is protected against piracy on its PC version, the released version on Switch can be emulated from day one and played on PC, therefore bypassing the strong protections offered on the PC version,” Denuvo wrote. “The Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection will ensure that anyone wishing to play the game has to buy a legitimate copy.”

[novel umbra]

just sell a switch card reader for pc

[young crow]

who playing a nintendo switch version of a game that's available on pc?

[novel umbra]

[feral ferry]

That sounds a lot easier to crack than PC titles

[novel umbra]

wdym switch ow2 emulated sounds like a fun experience

[hardy merlin]

It was the only way to play pirated MH: Rise after release for example

[young crow]

yea for like 3 people

[bleak pike]

Its an interesting way to play a brain dead game

[feral ferry]

You lads didn't buy Mortal Kombat 1?

MK1 on Switch is funny

[novel umbra]

true

prob runs too well on emulator though

[hardy merlin]

not for that price

[novel umbra]

not the real experience

[young crow]

anyways, that "protection" will eventually become obsolete, i'm 99% sure it just abuses inaccuracies in emulation

[novel umbra]

switch version is special

[hardy merlin]

oooooh... that one...

[feral ferry]

Shut up zapierdala

[young crow]

what the fuck

[feral ferry]

That sounds pretty cheap, just 23.300 T's

[novel umbra]

is that a DC source

[young crow]

48 usd for a game that's to be played once a year

[novel umbra]

yea idk who buys mk games

but hey, the new one has evil superman twice

[young crow]

why don't they just make one game and ship dlc afterwards

that'd make much more sense

[novel umbra]

wdym

they make one game

and ship with dlc

and then make another game that is almost the same

or they make a game named with roman numerals

and then make a special version that tries to make a witty joke with those

only to fuck it up

naming a special version of "X" "XL" is a shit idea

[bleak pike]

My friend

Who had a huge binor for it, played it all and never touched it again

[novel umbra]

lol

I always think it is the normie fifa crowd

that just wants a casual fighting game?

[bleak pike]

He dabbled in Fifa more than once

[novel umbra]

seems like the kinda people that enviromental actions and xrays would be effective for?

[young hill]

Newer ones at least have great realistic graphics that makes all the fatalities more enjoyable. Dead Island 2 does one up that so the remaining purpose of mortal Kombat is for sweats that have no life or a couch game for a hangover.

[hardy merlin]

It'd be great if DI2 wasn't also so boring...

[young hill]

It probably is more fun with others, but it does feel somewhat less fun the first one

I await the dlcs

Ok I understand that you are honest but

"while our team has worked tirelessly to deliver the best experience possible, we have not achieved the benchmark we targeted."

So the performance will suck ass

[hardy merlin]

Paradox it's at it again ;-;
Why Paradox can't be normal?
Other companies - here's Ultimate Edition, it contains all DLCs
Paradox - here is 10 different editions, and none of those will contain all DLCs lol

[orchid prism]

Paradox? Paradox aren't developing this. Never were.

Colossal Order are their own studio.

[hardy merlin]

Paradox is a publisher though, and it was the same situation with Cities: Skylines

None of those contain all DLCs

[orchid prism]

Yes. But it isn't PARADOX's job to develop the game. It isn't their programmers doing or not doing anything.

Colossal's at it again.

[novel umbra]

isn't the publisher making the bundles/editions though?

[hardy merlin]

Still pretty sure it's Paradox' decision, they did the same with Stellaris

[orchid prism]

Vex's talking about lack of performance benchmarks though? Not DLC.

As for using their own mod platform, thank fucking god. Skylines and Steam Workshop is a match made in hell. Completely unruly.

... Huh

Papa Pete is... gone

That's rather sad

[feral ferry]

https://www.ageofempires.com/news/pre-order-aoe-ii-de-the-mountain-royals/

Age of empires... ew

[orchid prism]

AOE2 specifically (ew)

[feral ferry]

I was rather excited about the franchise til I learned that it's a PvP game, basically

[orchid prism]

It is so weird to add new factions to a game that's two decades old.

[orchid prism]

It's an RTS. It's kind of in the genre 😛

[feral ferry]

I like singleplayer economy RTS

So.. Civ?

[orchid prism]

Civ is 4X.

[feral ferry]

Stronghold's great but a bit... devoid of gameplay

[orchid prism]

Also not realtime 😄

Personally I don't feel like the Stronghold series ever did enough with non-military gameplay to be considered a city builder.

[feral ferry]

Anything that's a strategy game but isn't primarily meant to be a PvP combat game but has economy and base building to it

I like building le castles

Never played it

[orchid prism]

Rise of Nations is just AOE with ages.

Well... MORE ages.

[feral ferry]

So... Age of Empires 3?

Again, I don't like combat focused RTS that's the typical "build up units and go fight"

I wish they made some of those Paradox games into something more RTS

I like that EUIV has colonization and shit like that

But make that into RTS

[orchid prism]

No no. AOE is locked in a certain era.

Rise of Nations goes from tribal to nuclear.

[feral ferry]

Well AoE3 had more to it

I think it was like... levels or something like that?

To unlock more card decks?

[orchid prism]

Nothing like going from caveman to space age though.

You were within a certain scope of history

Also RON has unlimited resources, whereas AOE uses finite.

[feral ferry]

Tbf the only "combat RTS" I actually liked playing was CnC

Red Alert 1 is absolutely my favourite

And mainly cause I just built bases to defend myself

[orchid prism]

CoC...?

That's better 😄

[feral ferry]

Oh yeah that's a bit of a doozie

[orchid prism]

You heard it here first, folks. Vex loves coc

[feral ferry]

I mean, I love my own

[vapid lintel]

[tall anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/bernie-mac-smh-gif-27571314

[feral ferry]

Yis

Great remaster

I'll be completely honest, Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert are nearly the only CnC's I played

I played one very little that was more futuristic space themed, maybe 3 or 4, and that one was really good

There was a more modern one, probably Generals, with NATO and terrorists or whatever, that one sucked ass, was made by EA

And I gave Red Alert 2 a try and hated it cause of the thematic difference between Red Alert 1 and 2

[deft bloom]

borat

[feral ferry]

I can give "softcore sci-fi" a pass when it comes to Red Alert 1, they did this cute time travel shit but other than that it stayed relatively realistic

Red Alert 2 is just silly comedy bullshit that killed any of my enjoyment

[orchid prism]

Hot take : I loathe this subgenre. Let me build in the third dimension damn it. The world isn't flat.

Hell let me use two dimensions.

[feral ferry]

You hate Terraria too?

[orchid prism]

I do actually, but mostly due to the focus on boss battles. Always preferred MC without later boss concepts.

[feral ferry]

A bit disappointing...

Expected more from you, duck

[orchid prism]

Starbound was looking good initially, but it was abandoned - and I could never marry myself to the idea of building bases in a game where the entire idea is to travel to new ones over and over.

No Man's Basebuilding syndrome.

[feral ferry]

Starfield much?

[orchid prism]

No real basebuilding in Starfield. Just tiny mining outposts.

[tough jay]

Played a bit of the kingdom games I found them rather boring.

[orchid prism]

It doesn't really hold a candle to the kind of "base" you can do in F04

[feral ferry]

Funny thing with Starfield, there's finally enough space to build an actual city for once

With Skyrim's base building mods, I always ran out of space with a small outpost

I want to build a damn city, goddamnit!

[barren pewter]

pfffffffffff
would be interested in seeing what a Georgian civilisation gives

as far as making it "unique"

ok...highlights of the Georgian civilisation seem interesting

tree looks interesting

[fallow bronze]

I found the kingdom to be very confusing games.. Never got far

[tough jay]

At least it outperforms total war pharaoh in terms of player count, granted that is not a very high bar to cross

[fading spade]

Apparently Chell weighs 85KG....

how tf is she heavier than I am?

shes shorter and just as thin as me

[fringe salmon]

shes also fictional

[feral ferry]

Also who cares

[slim token]

needs to put on some weight

takes at least 100kg to cave in my face

[fading spade]

Source Engine has a stat for the weight of each prop

They need that stat to measure how much force the faith plates launch things

[slim token]

then it's obvious her weight is 1[number of zeros added by glados on that one level]

[fading spade]

True

I bet the boots add a lot of weight too to her

[slim token]

how else do you break such knee shattering falls

[fading spade]

Exactly

I want a pair of them

[deft bloom]

Can't wait to rebuy my games on there

[grizzled bramble]

Haven't bought a game there yet, Alan Wake 2 will be the first

[lucid brook]

epic?

i think i forgot my login details

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah 397 free games and amongst them is e.g. A Short Hike, Alan Wake series , Bioshock series, Control, Death Stranding, Fallout series

Yeah

[hardy merlin]

I was always wondering why people were so hyped about 88/12 split in the first place, and why should they be now with 100/0, it's not like consumers got better prices for that, just publishers ended up with better share of money...

[fringe salmon]

Because there have been games that were 5 or 10 bucks cheaper on epic as a result if this

[hardy merlin]

Certainly not with AAA titles, Epic may have better discounts, but I haven't seen price difference in case of "normal" prices
Even if games would be €5 or €10 cheaper I wouldn't go with Epic tbh but oh well

[fallow bronze]

void bastards was an interesting game :p

https://twitter.com/X_AZEEZ3/status/1714150230172557407

wtf

[orchid prism]

[novel umbra]

that game keeps surprising me

with how bad it is

without having seen more than like a minute of gameplay

[feral ferry]

Not too sure why people care about Mortal Kombat anymore

The formula doesn't really evolve at all?

If I went back to my PS2 era with some Armageddon or Deception, it'd feel like the same game plus had some really cool minigames

[novel umbra]

my take on it

I doubt it is people that actually play games a lot

[feral ferry]

Tbf I think it speaks volumes that Street Fighter 6 is prolly going to win GOTY

[novel umbra]

but instead people that want a somewhat casual fighting game

what

you mean geoff keighley goty?

prob will be totk

[feral ferry]

Well it's rigged but SF6 is imo the only title that deserves a GOTY

Actual evolution of the fighting genre

Not the... 1990s never really changed same shit Mortal Kombat

[novel umbra]

how is it an evolution

[feral ferry]

Well it doesn't really confine you to a sidescroller fighter, and has a singleplayer story mode with 3d exploration and stuff

[novel umbra]

but the mode that people actually care about still is a sidescrolling fighte

[feral ferry]

I wish that SF6 would get GOTY

RE4R maybe, but I feel it's a bit too much of a departure from the original

But popularity is what GOTY is all about, so it's a 90% TOTK win and maybe some FFXVI in there

Man do I dislike TOTK as a game, so many horrible gameplay decisions

[unborn spruce]

Literally the most brain damaged take I think you've ever had.

Holy shit.

[feral ferry]

Name a better game from this year?

[unborn spruce]

What does SF6 even do that's GOTY contender?

Like it has to do something other than exist.

[feral ferry]

Well, it's a game that's actually fun to play

Had a good reception on launch

[unborn spruce]

Pretty damn low bar so far.

Like you remember BG3 came out this year?

[feral ferry]

Tbf that game has so much brigading it was funny

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AmoxmsJsrs

i see

[feral ferry]

First 3 weeks you couldn't say jack shit negative about BG3

Then people actually admitted that the game was borked

[unborn spruce]

And? How exactly does that define if it's good or not? We go by merits, not popular opinion.

[feral ferry]

Tbf I'm not too sure BG3 qualifies for GOTY

Early Access was years ago

[unborn spruce]

I mean yeah maybe.

[feral ferry]

So the only thing you could really judge is the Arc 3, and that was not that amazing

[fringe salmon]

Almost like it was in early access and they said they pulled launch ahead by a month so people don’t have it overlap with starfield and co to have time to play as what they want?

[novel umbra]

totk

[fringe salmon]

And no early access doesn’t stop it from counting form the release date as a full release, Hades for example was also in a long early access before launch and nobody said to only count stuff after EA as release

[hardy merlin]

Starfield, BG3, Lies of P, Tears of the Kingdom, Spider-Man 2. SF6 doesn't even deserve for GOTY nomination.

[novel umbra]

2023 was a pretty strong game for games for once

but I would bet money on totk winning

[feral ferry]

Lies of P lacks popularity to actually win the GOTY

[hardy merlin]

Lies of P lacks popularity

[novel umbra]

I mean it kinda does

[feral ferry]

From what I saw of Spider Man 2 reviews, it actually didn't get stellar scores

[small comet]

can we not do headings in channels

[novel umbra]

being AA with not that much marketing

[small comet]

thanks

[hardy merlin]

sorry

[nimble current]

I had never heard of lies of p until like two weeks ago

[feral ferry]

Less than 10k reviews lol

[unborn spruce]

Fair enough.

[novel umbra]

it mainly had marketing via influencers

that promoted the game not because they were paid but because the game was actually good

[nimble current]

that would explain it

I avoid those types of people like stds

[novel umbra]

it's a decent game

[hardy merlin]

idgaf about reviews, like majority of big review outlets weren't paid off by game studios already

[feral ferry]

This is also why

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1627720/view/7308837573809740734?l=english

Over a month since launch, only managed 1 million

[novel umbra]

yea had a peak of sub 20k

[feral ferry]

1 million sales is pretty damn great

[novel umbra]

still better than some other games

[feral ferry]

But nothing compared to TOTK lol

[small comet]

what does the P even mean

[novel umbra]

pinocchio

[feral ferry]

Penus

[small comet]

oh lie of pee

i see

[novel umbra]

I love ea originals

[small comet]

so stuff like it is clear cause you drank enough

[feral ferry]

Give this shit GOTY

It has FSR3

[orchid prism]

The entire game is about whether to have small pp or big pp. And you know what happens when Pinochio lies.

[fringe salmon]

BG3, FFXVI, lies of P are my top 3 this year in that order

[small comet]

is that how osu was founded

[novel umbra]

I don't even like totk myself

[feral ferry]

I wouldn't mind much if any of those won, even if chances are small

[novel umbra]

but I just don't see any game having a chance of winning goty against it

[hardy merlin]

For me GOTY is BG3 vs TOTK, but Hi-Fi Rush deserves at least a nomination

[fringe salmon]

Totk was really good but these were just better imo

[novel umbra]

idk I am just glad to see that we at least get a few less half baked releases for once

AAA will recover from covid now

[feral ferry]

HiFiRush will prolly win art direction

[novel umbra]

[small comet]

dont games get some goty edition anyway even if they dont win

bundle their 3billion dlc

[novel umbra]

watch totk win like half the awards

[small comet]

and season passes

[feral ferry]

Just cause of popularity lol

It doesn't deserve any of them

[novel umbra]

💀

[hardy merlin]

Far Cry 6 didn't get GOTY, didn't stop Ubi to make GOTY Bundle

[feral ferry]

Kindly, get that out of my face please

[fringe salmon]

2023 was an actual surprise of how good this years games were

[novel umbra]

ah those are just nominations

[feral ferry]

Hey at least Starfield can win an award

"Most anticipated game"

And 2 if there's a "biggest letdown" category

[novel umbra]

lol

starfield is exactly what I expected

keep coping

[small comet]

didnt everyone know itll be a letdown

isnt that the whole bethesda stick at this point

[hardy merlin]

Starfield is a good 7/10, still

[feral ferry]

I fuckin hope Nintendo doesn't win anything this year

[nimble current]

they will

[feral ferry]

After Pokemon and TOTK I wish they win nothing

[novel umbra]

watch splatoon win best shooter

[nimble current]

nintendo simp army is enormous

[novel umbra]

ah wait

splatoon 3 was 2022

[feral ferry]

120+ million devices sold lol

[nimble current]

and game journalists blindly praising everything they do every time they fart something out

[feral ferry]

You can feed em shit and they'll say it's michelin star food

[hardy merlin]

ToTK was great, but not on Switch, on PC though, best game I've played this year

[nimble current]

only thing I can think of in recent memory that didn't see near universal praise was the wii u

[feral ferry]

See I might actually agree with that somewhat, if you were able to also mod the game on PC

To remove the shite game mechanics like durability and parts limit for building

But the performance is so abysmal on Switch and the game looks like shit that I can't fuckin give it any awards

[hardy merlin]

Graphic packs (aka mods) on Yuzu do that I believe

[feral ferry]

On PC the game would actually be really good if they removed all the damn limiters

It's a good game ruined by shit hardware

[novel umbra]

it would run good

[feral ferry]

And some questionable decisions like durability and heavily limiting the building aspect with like 10 max parts

[novel umbra]

if memory clocked higher

[hardy merlin]

Pretty much, yeah
It's not like Switch is bad
But it's not good with bigger games

[novel umbra]

nah

it can perform a lot better

[feral ferry]

Switch is pretty damn bad

[novel umbra]

look at xenoblade 3

it is bad

but totk still runs bad nonetheless

[hardy merlin]

That's why I played it on PC

[feral ferry]

Well I hope that with Switch 2 next year they can release games that don't look like pixelated shit and run at 20FPS with lagspikes to 5

And they can get some proper textures cause, fuck off Pokemon

[novel umbra]

wdym

just copying over 3ds assets is a good plan

[novel umbra]

it's an indie game anyways

[feral ferry]

I like how Arceus was actually called shit on release

[hardy merlin]

I use my Switch only as a ripping station nowadays tbh
And playing Suika Game

[novel umbra]

bruh

[feral ferry]

And Scarlet/Violet managed to make it even worse

[novel umbra]

it ran like ass

[feral ferry]

Tbf I actually liked playing Arceus

Idk I'm a sucker for pokemon games

Scarlet/Violet actually gave me easy XP farming too by autobattling

[novel umbra]

I was

but 3ds era games turned me off so far

and they didn't imrpove

at least not enough

[feral ferry]

Idk I like the new 3D direction

If they only made them run and look good

[novel umbra]

surely the new dragon quest monsters will be good

[feral ferry]

Dragon Quest is usually really good

[novel umbra]

at least will be easier to emulate than the last one

[novel umbra]

the last dragon quest monsters released in the west was on the ds

over 10 years ago

[feral ferry]

Tbf I'm not sure what the dq monsters is about

But Dragon Quest Builders was pretty good

[novel umbra]

it's similar to pokemon

but different progression for monsters

where you get points you can put in skilltrees

and can fuse monsters

[feral ferry]

Ayo CS2 is on GamePass?

[novel umbra]

to get higher tier ones and more points over time

too bad that the last one was just stupid easy

the one before was a mediocre remake

and the one before that was an improved jp only version of the one before that

[hot spire]

Fam who calls city skylines 2 cs2 lol

XD

[novel umbra]

that one even had a leaked translation

[orchid prism]

Mark does. And I do it to piss people off.

[novel umbra]

but 3ds is shit to emulate

[hot spire]

I was gonna be impressed if it was counterstrike 2

[hot spire]

Lol

[hardy merlin]

Same, thought there's counter-strike on GP lol

Like wtf

[hot spire]

Sucks all that money on cs1 dlc is going down the drain

[feral ferry]

You are saying that about a game that came out in 2015

What about all those games that have microtransactions and close servers after 3 years?

Modern Warfare 2, looking at you

[nimble current]

activision screwing over the customers?

outrageous accusations

[hardy merlin]

That's why we don't play Activision games kek
I've played CS:GO since Sept of 2014, I've got my money back from that game

[feral ferry]

I still wish I hoarded some skins and stickers lol

Should have thought about pixels actually skyrocketing in price eventually

[hardy merlin]

Oooooh... If I kept some of the things I had at the start I wouldn't have to work anymore lol, like 2014 capsules were $2...
Still, I've earned short of €1000 and I still have around €400 on my account in items, so, €20 for a game doesn't seem like much of a loss

[hot spire]

I don't play them lol

[still spire]

This is 1M+ sales, whjo knows how many people copped it on Gamepass

oo I love this

[small comet]

tmw your cheater ridden old ass game outperforms your new release easily

[bleak pike]

Tis sad

[nimble current]

what do you mean if portal was a horror game

[fading spade]

Portal is pretty damn creepy simply due to the nature of the Source Engine LOL

but this makes it even scarier...

[nimble current]

its creepy because of the art assets used in the source engine

[fading spade]

Especially with no music or GLaDOS to talk to us

[fading spade]

and the sound effects, especially the ambient ones in city maps etc etc in half life and gmod

sounds of distance traffic and people and whatnot

Even just the fact this mod makes the elevators wait an extra few seconds after closing the door to start moving is creepy AF

[small comet]

ok well first of all

gmod doesnt come with a city map i think

only sandbox

[fading spade]

well, not a city

[small comet]

gm construct and the flat one

[fading spade]

but its a social place like a town or whatever

yeah

and the other one with city square

or town square, idk

probbly town

[small comet]

theres none with a city square by default

[fading spade]

then town square

[small comet]

the default maps are just construct and flatgrass

these 2

for a more wide shot of gm construct

both dont have ambient sounds i believe

[fading spade]

oh you right, RP_Downtown_V2 is the map I was thinking of

[fading spade]

its using the unspoken lore of the game as the basis, which is cool cause that shit creepy to begin with

[ebon osprey]

construct i think does?

[fading spade]

Has Portal 2 been ported to Source 2 or is it still Source 1?

seems 1 still, hmm

[fringe salmon]

why would they port it

[fading spade]

I thought they did when they changed the entire UI to work better with controllers

Guess that was just to make it play nicer with Steam Deck

[hardy merlin]

300
Still, I have Steam acc since 2014, GOG one since 2021

Also didn't they like lie about the Dreamcast?

Like how well it was selling?

I swear Ir ead something like that

Yeah like the President of SEGA or something said the Dreamcast was outselling the PS1

Also there's shit like this, but I can't find the article I'm thinking of

https://www.ign.com/articles/1999/09/15/update-on-dreamcast-sales

I remember hearing a lot about the Dreamcast then just forgetting about it

Back then that is

[grizzled bramble]

Bought the Deluxe 😀👍

Is WoW worth the time

[scenic widget]

If you have friends that play it, maybe?

[unborn spruce]

Not even slightly.

If you want an MMO then play Guild Wars 2. The days of wow being worthwhile are long over.

The funniest shit imaginable is someone actually put ARR on the store page as a benefit.

Oh yeah you get to play ARR for free. Fuck yeah, right up there with bashing my nuts with a hammer, this value proposition is insane.

A basegame so bad that when it came out it nearly killed the game and it only survived by rabid fans that can tolerate FF 12, then they reworked it and it was still the objectively worst early game of all MMOs, and so far they've had to cut out like 60% of it and it's still barely tolerable.

Now that's one fuck of an earlygame experience.

Yep.

GW2 is defo a real MMO, but it kept some of the Diablo style stuff.

Seen that new SC2 like?

Stormfront, iirc.

Ah here it is.

Stormgate.

https://playstormgate.com/

Very cool looking game.

Fuck ikr.

Been following it since the really early days.

[fallow bronze]

looks more supcom style.

Beyond all reason is keeping me very occupied. its a very well done game. controls are spoiling me as well. so many good ideas implemented in the controlls

[unborn spruce]

Yep. Spiritual successor to SupCom.

I'd still be playing SC:FA if it actually ran on more than one core. As good as a 5800X3D is the game is programmed to be about as fast as a polio patient in a marathon.

[deft bloom]

valve preventing de-subtick binds before fixing the inconsistencies in subtick movement - wtf are they doing

[fallow bronze]

different times.. 🙂

[unborn spruce]

Yep.

[willow quiver]

smh dead game

[ashen lark]

Meh it seems like withdrawing was unreasonable, slowly taking it back despite having just 16 divisions there - 8 of which are mountaineers that like winter

[feral ferry]

Uh.. naval invade

[ashen lark]

Well I don’t really have more than 16 divisions so can’t do that, and their front lines are weak, I just need to build railways every few areas of progress

I am still roleplaying democracy civilian focus so weak manpower

What if

I dropped a nuke on their supply lines

[feral ferry]

Eh..

Could be useful but at the same time nukes are good for initiating assaults as it heavily damages org

Typically you'd want to leave that for just nuking the divisions

[ashen lark]

@feral ferry how in the world do I make rockets

[feral ferry]

V2s?

You don't

[ashen lark]

I mean the ones I researched

When researching jet engines

[feral ferry]

If you are talking about the silos, they regenerate automatically every few days

[ashen lark]

How can I use them or sth

And how do you use them

[feral ferry]

Researching rocket tech makes you able to construct the launch site

Comes with 200 or so rockets or something?

[ashen lark]

How can I use the silo

[feral ferry]

Max limit is 2 iirc in a region

[ashen lark]

I built one but can’t find it lol

[feral ferry]

Go to air mode

They show up as air units

The range is pretty nuts when fully upgraded

Can bomb europe from china

So anyways, air mode, select your V2s, click on a province you want to bomb, select strategic bombing mode

Not going to do anything if you don't click strategic bombing and a region

They exhaust themselves pretty damn fast and afaik regenerate slowly over time, don't have to build them

But the damage inflicted on a region is honestly pretty good

Though they are pretty useless in general terms imo, would rather use another mil or two

[ashen lark]

I am very limited by the fact it’s 1946 and allies still didn’t manage a successful d day

Can’t do much with top 200k manpower

[feral ferry]

I think they actually added SACLOS guided missiles now

Cause those are fucking nuts

[barren pewter]

ask Hamas

[feral ferry]

In my Sweden playthrough, built a bunch of large jet bombers with guided ASM's

They SHRED ships holy fuck

200 planes will annihilate 100s of submarines

Destroyers are easy work too, sank multiple battleships and carriers that way as well

Just gotta make them not too bulk cause they get shot down that way

This could be really fun lol

[ashen lark]

I just noticed how depleeted my units were, had to no matter what go for higher conscription

Literally had just 60k men in the field - and they were fighting on a front line in Finland against Germany

[ashen lark]

Amazing right after WW2 there is WW3 of allies vs soviets

And I just demobilize my army

• can’t join as an independent democracy anyways

Oh I can

[hot spire]

FA is multicore lol

the simulation just isnt treaded

same with the renderer
