Nwah intensifies
drifting rose
As you might've figured, I was being hyperbolic to make a point. I didn't want my announcement to turn into a proper review or anything, just wanted to quickly express my feelings on the game off the cuff.
My honest opinion is a bit more nuanced. I just think this game is aggressively mediocre. I think what Bethesda does best is exploration based gameplay, which is just quite awful in Starfield. I love the RP elements. They definitely feel like a return to form compard to Fallout 4 and even Skyrim, which makes me excited for TES 6. A handcrafted world with the exploration potential of Skyrim/Fallout 4 and the RP elements of Starfield would be insanely fun to play.
Again, I'm not saying anything new here. Overall, the game is just super mediocre, with it mostly being pulled down by the lack of (exciting) exploration. I just wrote this announcement because I did put two dozen or so hours into porting Skyrim Together into a potential Starfield Together (surprisingly easy) and wanted to open source it in case anyone who does like the game and does have the skillset to make a mod like this is interested in finishing it.
I did not mean to make anyone feel bad if they do like the game. All the more power to ya. It's just not for me. I could have written my original post to be a bit more nuanced, sorry.```Another good one

Okay with that one, do you got sources to rebuke that statement?
Starfield I had a very smooth experience with, compared to previous games
drifting rose
I'll play Starfield in about 5 years when it's cheap and I have a PC that can run it at decent frame rates, I even liked playing mediocre beth games like Fo4 (on survival mode only tho). the obscenities I heard about Starfield's system specs is what turns me off the most tbh
feral ferry
Starfield's failure in being interesting long-term kinda made me wonder, maybe I gave Outer Worlds too much shit
I remember Outer Worlds being so damn boring and spiritless, but I might give it a fair shake once I get my degree
But again,@hardy merlin, I suspect you didn't play SF, and I played it non-stop for about 3 weeks after which I burned out and gave up
SF is very stable, quite bug-free, and has a lot of good side content, those are its strongest sides
I also really enjoyed initially just landing on planets and exploring
Where it fails is the main quest, a now pretty mature but very outdated game engine, and content variety
hardy merlin
I did play it
For 3 or 4 hours
Then I got bored and deleted it from PC
feral ferry
I am so damn glad I played all the sidequests first before I touched the main quest
Cause holy fuck the main quest was shit once you go searching for those damn artifacts
I do wonder what it would take for them to ditch Creation or at least completely rework the engine to the point where its relatively modern
It's got amazing graphical rendering, that is pretty clear with SF, but boy it runs badly and its level rendering is so damn ancient that I hope they figure out how to transition to level streaming

Epic stopped with it's forced exclusivity for the most part at the very least, All that remains is a 280 game library consisting for the vast majority of free games

there has been a handful, most of them at the start were playstation ports anyway, there was the xcom clone where it was supposed to be on steam too and BL3 as the big one
then AW2 for now but also published by EGS

Wheren't those games Uplay exclusive before?
fringe salmon

tough jay
I mean it's an improvement at that point
fringe salmon
yeah without EGS they would only be on uplay
tough jay
I had a problem with paid exclusivity deals myself, not other reasons for games not to be on steam. Publishing them and only putting it on your own store seems fine.
In that sense Cyberpunk being a GoG eclusive would also be fine for me personally.
That being said Uplay and whatever EA has now are especially garbage platforms

That Steam is a monopoly?
fringe salmon
yes

It has the most marketshare yes, cause the other launchers dont come close to the features it has
there is no competition unless they have feature match or have more features that people want than Steam has
Epic RN most people use for Fortnite and free game promos
fringe salmon
So you are saying valve as the only product has a dominant position in the sector?
small comet
well there is one aspect to pc games stores and their launchers will basically means steam will for now hold a majority of the users until newer generations may switch to some other launcher: a single library.
I personally prefer to get games on steam mainly cause all my games are on there and i dont need to use another launcher
fading spade
Im not denying its the dominant one, im just saying that is the dominant because of user choice and it has features we want and like to use
fringe salmon
ok that doesnt change it not being a monopoly

If Epic Game or EA or Ubisodt had the same level of ecosystem that Steam does, then yes, they would be good competition for Steam

I also want you to keep in mind a normal, SATA based SSD can do 500MB/s Read/Write

not exactly 10x but k
sata based ssds are limited by the bandwidth that sata is able to pushed through by sata
m.2 ssds that are sata have this same limitation despite being in the m.2 form factor
nvme on the other hand is able to push far more bandwidth than sata ssds, but they're not 10x faster
this is also their rating, says nothing about their real world performance
that is peak sequential though, we're talking about games, it's going to be all about the random reads
games are not one large file...
define large file
meanwhile games like osu are reading from potential hundreds of thousands of song and image files
it really depends on how the game is made
and when it comes to reading shader data that's about as random as it gets

Getting back into Skylines 2 after going slightly insane trying to wrap my head around Victoria 3s new, new economy system.
Feeling like doing a historical colonial city as a basis of my grid layout.
And adding some much needed mods to help do quays, trees in dragable lines, as well as unlocking all tiles immediately.
Won't be able to add era appropriate old colonial brick housing and such, but it's a long-term project. All the assets exist for Skylines 1, so it's just a question of time.

Topograhpy, changing needs and most importantly topograhpy dictate grids. And once you have two towns collide with different grids, then you're going to see them break up in fun ways.

fallow bronze
The idea that a city needs to be a grid is an Americanism :p
orchid prism
Nope.
Grids have existed before the Romans. They made a point to use it en masse though - and a lot of european cities broke up the grids they left behind.
The US just have that thing we call a blank slate. Prisinte, untouched land with minimal human inteference. Perfect for laying out some fat, new world grids when the Europeans decided to turn small colonies into bustling cities.
Reminds me of Barcelona.
But less extreme.
The UK also had some wild layouts in the 1900s? Based on the idea of making what we now call "15 minute cities". The idea of having everything laid out for about 10.000 citizens including public service, parks and whatnot.
Not to be confused with US cul de sac hell 😄
screams internally
A lot of those grids are likely old land claims.
The US loved/loves to divide up farmland in neat squares.
And as the cities push them out, often they retain the old grid layout size.

Wait, you can just embed stuff in usernames? 👀
fringe salmon
idk seems like there was an older one that was patched and this seems to just be about something more more limited
deft bloom
you can basically have script/an url in your username and initiate a votekick for yourself
so if you host an image you can show that to everyone in the game, and also grab everyone's IP's as they access the file
fringe salmon
yeah but the only part where that does something is if you get beyond the character limit and I havent seen anyone do that in the not patched way
deft bloom
it's possible that you can also run JS over that, but the username is limited so maybe not
fringe salmon
no JS possible in the limited amount and ip grabber, you just need to open the console and get that anyway lmao
deft bloom
grabbing ip's and ddosing etc is pretty bad itself, also if you're streaming and suddenly have goatse pop up in your screen might not be the best thing to happen to your channel
huh? you can't see IP's ingame
it all runs via steam relays via steam networking, it never shows ip's to players
fringe salmon
oh right I keep forgetting that tf2 is the abandoned child where nothing ever gets fixed
eh yeah still though if its just ip grab not relevant for normal players, should still be fixed
but until I see someone do something worse I wouldn't care about it
deft bloom
well the thing is you don't know
I wouldn't touch it until it's fixed for sure
hot spire

It dose randomly
fringe salmon
I mean sure but I also never know if anything else is broken currently
deft bloom
that's the thing, taking a risk unknowingly vs taking an unnecessary risk when you're aware of it
hot spire
Issue is no one is forced to do anything at valve really
fringe salmon
what risk though? so far I'm aware there is no way around the character limit so you can do ip grabbing and embedded images
hot spire
So tf2 only gets fixed when someone wants to
lament ledge
That's most Valve games.

the risk that it might be possible to do more with it, you don't know
if it's possible, then you're at risk of giving free access to your pc or getting your shit deleted or leaked or whatever else might be possible through this
if not, then you're at the risk of seeing a big penis on your screen
either way, both can be prevented by not playing until valve takes action
it's like "yeah I'm drunk but it's alright, I can drive a car, my house is just down the street and there's no one on the street anyway"
lament ledge
Apparently the demo was already in my library.

eh I get the point I just disagree on how much of an extra risk it is, given that so far all I find is people trying to get around the character limit but cant

Yeah and a non valve made js library is low on the list
Lol
deft bloom
it's cute tho
https://hackerone.com/reports/631956 like it's documented here, I wouldn't trust this shit at all before it's patched lol
fringe salmon
see the difference for me is, that until someone finds a way to get around the character limit it's not any more risky than playing the game any other day where someone could find a different RCE
small comet

fringe salmon
the linked thing is the fixed 2019 exploit

wrong channel and wrong link? thats from 2022
deft bloom
the linked thing is the fixed 2019 exploit
but yeah that was the point, when this was possible in csgo I wouldn't be surprised if something similar was possible elsewhere now in cs2
fringe salmon
I mean, by that logic you can never play the game
deft bloom
different logic
something that is well known will get fixed quickly
something that is well known will get exploited more until it gets fixed
more often that is
fringe salmon
yeah but again, currently we know that you can show bee pics and ip grab, the risk of them doing more by finding a way around the character limit to me is the same as someone finding a different RCE option any other day
fringe salmon
doesn't that just prove my point, there are multiple of them so the current name embed doesn't make it any more or less likely of them finding another RCE lol
deft bloom
no my point is that script kiddies are more likely to use something that is new and blowing up currently
and like I said the char limit can be bypassed, there is potential for this being critical imo
still spire
fringe salmon
Eh we get rdna4 launch before the pro and its custom anyway
fringe salmon

And we'll still never get HL3
hardy merlin
At this point I'm not even sure if I'd want HL3, not with Valve as it is now and with gaming landscape as it is now
lament ledge
At this point they've really only made the Half-Life games. They bought all the others.
hardy merlin
Nah, Portal and L4D is mostly their work
nimble current
the game they got portal from was just a tech demo with very little and completely unrelated story
lament ledge
I'm not saying they didn't contribute. I'm saying they bought the framework and slapped a couple of layers on it.
nimble current
yeah, but their sense of QC and polish has made most of their games still popular to this day
lament ledge
This isn't a criticism exactly. I just don't think they deserve quite the rep as they do. Their marketplace innovations are far more impressive.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhh.
QC
Really?
nimble current
back 4 blood is proof of that, all that talk about being the L4D creators and what did it give us
nimble current
valve bought turtle rock back in 2007 or whenever it was, and they made the two L4D games
fringe salmon
attention to detail valve does well, QC ehhhhh
lament ledge
I guess I don't see Back 4 Blood as anything remarkable.
But that's just my opinion of course.
nimble current
then they broke free again or something, and made B4B which is pretty meh
hardy merlin
Out of OG Turtle Rock squad only 5 people were working on Back 4 Blood
nimble current
valves qc might have slipped in more recent years, I haven't really played any of their games regularly since the early 2010s
lament ledge
CSGO was full of issues towards the end and the CS2 launch is a bit of a joke.
hardy merlin
CS may be in a state in which it is, but Dota 2 is really quite polished MOBA
lament ledge
It's playable, but they half assed a lot of it.
They bought the Dota dev tho didn't they?
nimble current
back in those days TF2 and L4D2 were pretty polished from the get go
lament ledge
Popularity aside, I don't know that any Riot games should be pointed at as signs of quality.
fringe salmon
tf2 always had a ton of bugs and still has them
lament ledge
TF was a Quake mod they bought and reskinned. I believe they also hired the modders who created it.
nimble current
yep
nimble current
I played the og quake version a bit
lament ledge
My point is, Valve has acquired most of its big IPs, not developed them themselves.
nimble current
tf2 always had a ton of bugs and still has them
those ain't bugs those are source engine features 
lament ledge
Again, not a slight to them.
hardy merlin
Still, without Valve's financial and technical support we wouldn't see those games as they are now, and they wouldn't be as big IPs as they are now.
lament ledge
I just think it's less impressive than what id or Epic created themselves.
lament ledge
But everyone slobbers over them like they're the second coming.
