i just love the gambling memes
tropic vapor
i did not know the horrid patterns were there as part of the mind games instead of just being tacky
also you know arcades actually use a surprising amount of the same tricks casinos do even if theyre not legally classed as gambling
tropic vapor
i was never a fan of the ticket based games when i went to arcades, i often played the fun ones that didnt give out much tickets if at all
feral ferry
Only jurassic park game I am aware of is the park builder one
tropic vapor
i mean i still go to arcades sometimes theyre fun, i just dont expect to win anything and therefore dont care about the ticket based games

i used to use a XIM but that was mainly because i was trapped on console at the time and wanted to learn keyboard and mouse before i switched to PC
i didn't know they were a cheat device until much later
now that XIM is just collecting dust because why would i ever use it when i can use kb/m natively on pc
the mouse is way less accurate with a XIM anyways
quiet vault
these devices do exist tho
tropic vapor
native kb/m support is starting to become more common in console games again
tropic vapor
these devices do exist tho
also the xim bypasses any security chip requirements cause to connect the xim you still need your controller plugged in on one of the usb ports
it can just pass the challenge response from the actual ps5 controller
nah its just their moms credit card

Per Take-Two earnings call at November 8th
- Price increase to 70$ is considered "value" from them
- Games they make will always be developed with more value than what they price their games for, at heart
- Release schedule isn't decided yet for anything supposedly, only in spring of 2024. GTA 6 also supposedly has been delayed.
- Expect to sell 8 billion worth in fiscal 25

The fact they fixed tracers finally makes me happy. The only thing though is the random in 4 stacks being immune to getting kicked, I can't see that lasting cause I feel like if a solo knows that they'll troll if they don't get their way
deft bloom
that's like a quadruple edged sword
prevent 4-stacks playing: cry
prevent 4-stacks from kicking random: cry
let 4-stacks from kicking random: cry
what's the 4th edge idk
I don't care about tracers, they were never accurate in csgo either. the tracers were more problematic in cs2 because they are so much more visible and they appear every shot vs csgo's every 3rd shot, would be just better to let me disable them altogether
but the biggest thing for sure is that the shooting animation (and others) are now tied to fps instead of server-tick

I have no clue how Nintendo manages to sell so many copies
If a franchise doesn't sell 10 million copies for them it's pretty bad lol
On PC you would WISH that a franchise sells anywhere near that, it's fookin insane
feral ferry
They also funnily enough have 100% of the revenue, since Steam doesn't take any cuts
Or Epic, Play store, Apple app store etc
feral ferry
The game that sold 10 million copies in 3 days even if it looked like it was released in 1999?

Nintendo fanboys need to wake up lol
But they won't, it's a Nintendo thing

Nintendo still makes great games though
Game Freak... not so much nowadays

Nintendo fanboys need to wake up lol
I hate nintendo but I genuinely enjoy their games, so I do usually buy the newest releases. however they're so bad to play on official hardware I just end up emulating every one.

On the topic of ToTK though, I always held the opinion that it will be a mid launch that's just an "expansion pack" of Breath of the Wild
I saw though a feature that REALLY made me enticed to try it out, it was the.. ultrahand was it?
To stick parts together into a contraption
I love games like Besieged, where you build something mechanical from parts, it's really damn fun so I was mildly interested
Until it slapped me in the face with max 8-10 part limit and horrible lag
It's at best a 6/10 game for me, annoying gameplay design, horrible framerate, lag, durability mechanics in 2023?
Back to playing Sprocket from time to time lol
digital dawn
Basically I emulated it so I didnt have to deal with awful graphics
digital dawn
its pretty much gmod but for nintendo fans
digital dawn
as always the story was... fine
digital dawn
Comparing gmod to totk is a major insult to gmod
thats fair
feral ferry
The only thing they added from what I know about BoTW, that makes ToTK a bit more than just a DLC pack, is the underground
Sky islands? Not that many of them so that's just a DLC feature?
Ultrahand? DLC feature
Now adding an entire underground? That was pretty interesting
What was fucking funny as well is that Nintendo actually patented ultrahand mechanic lol

Yeah?
Lol they patented things like movement
They also patented a loading screen
Like, how are these patentable
They existed for years before this game so now suddenly you have to pay patent fees if your game has remotely any interesting features
green dune
Specific implementations can have design patents.
The contraption building in that game is pretty unique.
Took everything nice in BotW and made it better with more stuff.
The final boss was annoying because of some poor decisions in other parts of the game but that's like the worst part of the game, pretty good all together.
BotW for game of the year wouldn't be a bad pick, you can certainly do worse.
nimble current

Gotta ask a question lads, let's say a new battery tech comes out with 10x the charge for the same volume of a li-ion
Could you stuff an 80W chip into a handheld
And do some kind of active cooling
fringe salmon
could future tech do X? maybe
hardy merlin
80W TDP would be hard to cool tbh, but 40W would be well possible
fringe salmon
there is no immediate 10x capacity coming
so the question couldnt be answered because nobody would even try to make cooling for that if you cant power it
feral ferry
Pretty sure I read we have some insane new battery tech available with something like 100x or 1000x more charge than current batteries
Was I misreading or what
fringe salmon
we have that coming in 2 years for the last 20 years
hardy merlin
The best we have going currently is solid state li-ion, but those are like 15~20% more capacity per unit of weight
hardy merlin
na-ion batteries look promising, sure, they store less energy per unit of weight, but sodium is way more abundant in comparison to lithium

Is the 6nm APU better?
More powerful? No
More energy-efficient? Yes

Destiny killers
How about that recent cutscene though amirite?
severe compass
One of the critical things Destiny has going for it is the amazing world. It's deep vast and mind boggling. On top of that the gameplay is A+ and the live service model for the most part stays out of the way of having a good time. Destiny succeeds in spite of its live service model, but even then: one bad expansion caused a 45% drop in from projected revenue as players lost confidence. Because if Destiny isn't bringing out its best content, players won't pay for future content
However the marketing and accounting teams that run major AAA studios just see Destiny pulling in massive quantities of cash, and instead of aping their game design want to not only copy their monetization scheme, but to make it worse. And because marketing and accounting don't understand game development they never heed the words of their own game developers and try to make what the players want: a good game. Even Bungie has forgotten this, with no Destiny 3 in production, and all bets on a multiplayer extraction shooter no one asked for staining the Marathon IP

also level 20 is not just demigod
When you use this action, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw. If it fails, it is reduced to 0 hit points. If it succeeds, it takes 10d10 necrotic damage.
hardy merlin
novel umbra
literal instakill moves
and that is only level 17
takes 3 qi points
and you have as many as monk level
Beginning at 18th level, you can use your action to spend 4 ki points to become invisible for 1 minute. During that time, you also have resistance to all damage but force damage.
at level 18 the monk is basically unstoppable

Not all the time, sometimes they rejected my refund claim

And bot changed it to exactly what request to buy price was

They want the same peformance so that Devs have one level to target for their games
Valve literally said that if they put a new chip inside, the performance gain VS loss of battery life would not be worth it yet
tough jay
Spinning new semi-custom chips is also kind of a big deal from a cost perspective. Rog ally and the likes use repurposed laptop chips, which really are not that great at lower power targets, while the chips themselves are more expensive.
fading spade
Yeah
fringe salmon
yeah next deck will likely have enough prokected buying power that they can get a custom chip from the get go unlike with this
but not enough time for this mid cycle upgrade to make sense
fading spade
Yeah for sure, they know the demand is there now aha
and take a look at any other reviews too of Windows handhelds, they mostly conclude that the Deck is just a nicer experience and more console like
cause it is a better user experience
fringe salmon
would still be really funny if windows handhelds become more popular if they put work into it after the deck started with a discarded microsoft chip xD full circle
fading spade
Gotta love how Microsoft said that they are losing the handheld market
as if literallyl every other handeld except the Deck doesnt use Windows .-.

Last I checked that has been true for every console ever.

Would Deck even give you many more sales? I doubt it

yes because people will get games they can play on the go they wouldnt want on the pc at home or so

Last I checked that has been true for every console ever.

Yes? That doesn't make R&D and unit costs irrelevant.
Or the massive post-sale warranty service.
feral ferry
Yes? That doesn't make R&D and unit costs irrelevant.
What are you talking about now
orchid prism
The cost to make a console, total does not earn you any money. The services you sell as part of it do.
At least until you manage to cheapen the manufacturing a few years after initial release.
feral ferry
That just sounds like a marketing disaster?
Why would you not at least strike a make-do pricing?
You are literally counting that people will use SteamOS and Steam as their primary game launcher, that's not a given since it's a completely unlocked console
orchid prism
You'll have to ask Sony, Microsoft, Nintendon't and everyone else. Because this is not a new concept.
feral ferry
They are in a completely different business?
How those companies do business doesn't in any way correlate with Valve's business
orchid prism
They sell consoles, they sell games for said consoles.
Valve is no different there.
feral ferry
Valve are very much different with the fact that Steam is available on PCs
orchid prism
Only because you want to goalpost that in there.
feral ferry
It doesn't make any sense whatsoever for Valve to sell hardware at a negative, when they don't guarantee sales this way either
orchid prism
Whatever you say*
feral ferry
Sony? They make profits from hardware nowadays and you have to buy something, services or software, to use the hardware
Same with Microsoft and very much so Nintendo
fringe salmon
they could sell at a slight loss if they can see it drives more sales, we have no indication and it is extremely likely that the higher end ones are not sold at a loss
for the cheap options who knows
feral ferry
On Deck you literally can just uninstall SteamOS, pull up a Linux distro of sorts or just Windows, and install epic game store or GOG
Hell, the forbidden 🏴☠️
How is Valve making up money with Deck then
They will sell games anyways to PC users and nearly anyone has a PC
fringe salmon
simple, not even 1% of users will do that
orchid prism
By encouraging more sales.
fringe salmon
and even if they do you still likely buy most windows games on steam
feral ferry
At least my point is that if Valve doesn't make any money from Deck sales directly
It's a dumb product and does nothing for the company
orchid prism
They don't need to.
feral ferry
They very much do
