there's a absurd amount of game development majors at my school despite how the game industry is

And that is why the game industry is the way it is
Just like Software
Infinite replacements pretty much

not to mention how game development majors come out of school not individually skilled enough

I got quickly disillusioned by game development, took me 2 uni years 
rancid hearth
someone in one of my classes swapped out of game development to teaching within the first semester
still spire
Double L's then
hardy merlin
Still, teaching is more of a stable employment than game dev is
rancid hearth
literally
you'll actually probably be able to go until retirement
unlike game development where you won't stay at a single place long enough
you also will get benefits, which is more than most jobs will give you
hardy merlin
Maybe if you're senior/mid and you work in some giant like EA or Ubisoft, then maybe such work is less volatile than the rest of game dev
Infinitely more stressful though
hardy merlin
My fallback is to work as IT tech somewhere in military or public sector 
Sure I'd earn like a third of what I'm making now, but I could go to work just across the street of my home, sit there 8 to 4 and do practically nothing apart of checking a computer or network once in a while when something "doesn't work"

I did get some motion sickness on my deck at times, where I never get it on my desktop.
ghostrunner was one such game.

Maybe it's that I am so used to mouse and keyboard that it is much less likely to trigger a response than a controller or trackpad.
Not refresh rate related with me, at most low framerates having an effect

I an curious how good the wooting will be together with Stormgate? I hope it will be the best. But I am still waiting. Have someone played RTS with Wooting lately?
vital carbon
i play sc2 with the wooting
not that much of a diffrence between other keyboards and wootings
you can argue that the faster activation point makes you play faster
but i dont think it matters
i play sc2 with a activation point of 1.3mm cause otherwise youve got random key presses
still same range of mmr as before
grizzled quarry

Yeah this is a skill issue, just gotta get used to it
Not trying to be rude but that's just genuinely what it is
I use 0.1mm actuation with 0.15 rapid trigger, no issues with missing inputs and no other keyboard feels remotely as responsive
vital carbon
i didnt say you cant feel the diffrence
grizzled quarry
It's a night and day difference between my regular typing profile with 1.5mm actuation no rapid trigger
grizzled quarry
Well no shit, you have the actuation set fairly high
grizzled quarry
it wont give you as much of a edge as in fps games
It does, especially CS/val
vital carbon
yeah
but you wont get way better with lower activation points and rapid trigger in rts
thats not how it works
grizzled quarry
Your quick stopping becomes instantly more consistent and faster
Id recommend using 0.1 actuation point but only set that actuation point on wasd
And use rapid trigger only on wasd as well
Could help with you misclicking keys
vital carbon
its talking about rts
grizzled quarry
wasd 0.1mm activtion for rts ?
That's what I use yes for all my fps profiles
vital carbon
RTS
grizzled quarry
its talking about rts
RTS?
grizzled quarry
Well no shit a keyboard built for fps and rhythm games isn't good for a strategy game

I figured sc2 was you misspelling cs2
vital carbon
he was talking about RTS games nots FPS
grizzled quarry
That's my bad
vital carbon
sc2 = starcraft 2
grizzled quarry
Yeah I thought you must misspelled cs2
Most people buy this keyboard for fps games as that's what it's intended for (and stuff like OSU ig)

its not really intended for fps

you might missed the answer cause of our disscusion xD, wootings keyboard wont make you a better RTS player... the diffrence is negligible in RTS games lower activiation points might leed into miss inputs and stuff like this, atleast thats my expirence with it
grizzled quarry
Yeah I guess it's more so the 60he specifically that would be intended for fps
hardy merlin
I could also see mod tap be useful in any kinds of RTSes and MOBAs, so...
grizzled quarry
Modtap or dks could be yeah
vital carbon
i tried playing arround with modtap, but it need so much time to get used to for little advantages
tough jay
60he was not specifically intended for fps.
Also for analog use and response times. Smaller formfactor helped there. But it is not aimed directly at FPS use.
fringe salmon
60he is also more because thats a more custom size and they couldn't start making wooting with a 60% formfactor because it sold less than fullsize
vital carbon

I wonder how little people ever even actually touch the analog mode
I've only used it 2-3 times in the 8 months I've owned my 60he

I sometimes do on my wooting one, but mostly as a novelty
which has worse analog in general
grizzled quarry
It's cool, but a controller still ultimately works better for analog

I did use analog in overwatch

It's cool, but a controller still ultimately works better for analog

But thank you for the nudge! ☺️
vital carbon
ive played so many hours of sc2 and the best thing i can say about wootings keyboards in RTS is you can set your own activiation point for each controll group or commands, the other stuff is just gimicks but wont make a diffrence in real play
grizzled quarry
Aside from trackmania
tough jay
In general when well implemented in game, I like to use it with keyboard and mouse, analog wasd is nicer than regular wasd.
Sadly a lot of games fall on their face with mixed input.

Aside from trackmania
That game I can say would likely be a lot better with wooting analog than genuine roller

can't you just go elsewhere for your games if you don't like steam
so how is it a monopoly if you can pick what you want
fringe salmon
the point is you cant really pick what you want
vital wyvern
why not?
hardy merlin
After what they did to Linux gaming ecosystem they're definitely a glowing god for me
fringe salmon
what else would I choose but steam for most games?
fringe salmon
they dont have all steam games lol
vital wyvern
you didn't say all games
fringe salmon
if you have some obscure options for some that doesn't invalidate monopolistic status
hardy merlin
But Valve is not bribing developers to make games exclusive on Steam
Epic on the other hand...
vital wyvern
yeah in my eyes monopolistic status includes a malicious intent to monopolize the market
fringe salmon
yeah that's just not how it's defined
vital wyvern
when the truth is valve is just a providing a better service and so has more things than competitors
if there is competition but the competition is garbage, that's just called winning in the free market
idk I don't care to argue, just food for thought
fringe salmon
it's not like anyone is arguing they should lose access to games or anything
hardy merlin
+31%, yeah! 🥳
fringe salmon
arguing steam has monopolistic status and kinda strongarms devs into having to accept their terms, however benevolent they are isn't changing the definition
and you dont have to make it any worse for consumers/buyers when making it better for sellers
it's not like halving valves revenue would force them to fire people loll
vital wyvern
"unreasonable restraint of competition" just does not hold water
how is valve being unreasonable or otherwise with steam
they are just better and everyone knows it so publishers/dev don't sell elsewhere
fringe salmon
read the last bullet point, except there isn't many just a few
hardy merlin
Reportedly 1/3 of pre-orders was through GOG https://www.pcgamesn.com/cyberpunk-2077/preorder
fringe salmon
which is their own launcher essentially lmao
orchid prism
Gee Billy. That sure sounds like anti consumer and monopoly esque behaviour.
hardy merlin
It's the same on Steam and GOG, 99.50zł at the moment, 50% sale
Heck, it's even 1 grosz cheaper on GOG
orchid prism
fringe salmon
ea/r*/ubi and others made their own launchers to not pay the cut from direct sales, suddenly epic says we can offer a lower cut, ubisoft makes a thing so you can also buy games on epic now, suddenly after never moving, valve lowers that cut but in a way it would only profit those high earning companies
so anyone else has the same options of steam or nothing really
could a better epic launcher make it so they change more or more people use it? sure
but that doens't change the status as it is
hardy merlin
The money Little Timmy put into lawsuits he could definitely put into development of better launcher and ecosystem...

that's not the issue they just mismanage that to an impressive amount

It even already uses modifiers for some things because there aren't enough keys lol

I'm just saying having to bend your pinky is a stupid way of saying you don't like 60%

And I just like typing numbers on a numpad /shrug

I only ever used my numpad to change camera settings in beamng drive
Otherwise I'd rebind anything on it

And yeah because I don't care much about incomplete keyboards I barely check on the technical advancements so I wasn't even aware 80HE is giga improved in other regards

I try using frame gen and its bad on my 4090 and for a while now people come up and say they like using it on their steam deck and im just perplexed
tough jay
I have yet to try it on my system, but the use-case I would find for it is my main monitor performs quite poorly at the lower refresh rates, so fsr3 frame gen would help there.

I've tried AFMF it doesn't look great, maybe proper FSR3 looks better but I doubt it

Framegen works worse the less frames you have
tough jay
Granted but my monitor starts to suck below 80ish fps which should still be in range to double to max refresh rate
hot spire
Frame gens best use is lowering shudder if frame rate drops under your variable refresh rate range
And helping with motion smoothness in vr
hollow needle
i wonder how noticeable the artifacts are in vr
hot spire
Artifacts are better than studder
tough jay
Definitely, latency is a thing in vr though.
Biggest issue using fsr3 for vr is the number of vr games to make use of it.
hot spire
Yep while frame generation doesn't actually improve latency, it looks like it dose which is enough for most people
tough jay
At least it's not a rehash or obscure indie game.
Even if any of these would probably be better.

@vestal tinsel it depends on the definition of quality, you can't just say, this one is quality and this one isn't. Everyone likes his own thing, especially considering this is entertainment, not literature. Devs aren't writers here ( because it consistently is failing sales) they are making monies, and people want to be entertained. won/win The books are still out there btw.

Literature is an art form and its entertaining too. Same for gaming. If you have the skills to be a game developer, you have skills to make more money than what game devs are making. So you are doing it out of some sort of passion.
If you dont consider games art or put special priviledges to literature fine. I dont understand the reasoning - but I dont.

I dont expect quality from AAA. I expect budget.
consider in the future an AI will be able to make a game completely on it's own, therefore budget is not a variable here. Not to mention back in the day.. the budgets were quite small, games were literally garage games back then and still counted as AAA.

Have to agree with Quin. Very weird that this mission glitches out like that so long after release.

once upgraded it burns an efuse

There are also efuses in carts too?

no in the cart reader. which updates its firmware in accordance of the switch fw
and then new games ofc rely on that being up to date
hardy merlin
Ah, that thing, you can still bypass with firmware/hardware mod, but yeah, that kinda defeats the point of a cart which is supposed to work also on unmodified consoles

yeah especially since it only takes 1 idiot of a scene release for those carts to get everyones dump banned
its basically just a tool to condense all games someone owns into 1 cartridge

hot spire
no in the cart reader. which updates its firmware in accordance of the switch fw

small comet
how so
doesnt matter what clever thing they come up with. be it a custom format that dumps the headers and certs of the cart and it then emulates those or whatever. nintendo will be able to ban those dumps if not the entire flashcard
hot spire
card uses a lotus3 exploit
it likely means they have found a way to leak the cart private key
the one stored on the console
meaning they can generate certificates
small comet
so i watched the section and theres no mention of a lotus3 exploit
just that the flashcard most likely reproduces how the actual card would behave by presenting certificates and serialnumbers
i imagine RE of this communication and exact flow was easier due to the datasheet of the lotus3 and not the decap that was done alone

yeah sadly
its nice that old stuff still just works but urgh, just such a bad idea for 99% of users that would do it

The biggest issue with dropping windows 7 / 8 support is retro gaming. If you want to run older games on period hardware, it's gonna require cracking on steam games once games no longer run on windows 7 / 8
For xp sure, but for the steam era running steam games can be more troublesome.

Most things that have been perserved will remain so at least. Especially for older systems where the entire library just doesn't take up much space.

True
You have to reach the CD era for things to really ramp up.
I think the entire Xbox OG library is under 8TB? Including Japanese copies, sports games and demos.
2TB will get you basically all English titles that you'd actually want to play decades later.
fringe salmon
and emulating stuff will be easier and easier on newer hardware so aside from having to deal with some publishers bad idea of how to drm it's not going to be a big deal that we deprecate old stuff
just like when we wont have native dos running on current cpus anymore it's not really worth morning that loss imo

Phantom Liberty was a massive love letter to the playerbase more than anything else
even before and after
free updates addressing massive game issues and unfulfilled promises
the damn metro system works now ffs

CP2077 can't get it, it already got Labour of Love in 2022
tough jay
I just finished the game, and did not bother with phantom liberty as it was long enough already.
Did enjoy it but it certainly was not bug free.
hardy merlin
But I agree, Cyberpunk is awesome now

CP2077 can't get it, it already got Labour of Love in 2022
it can get it again, no?
and, tbh
it really deserved it this past year as well
tough jay
Story wise it was pretty good as is most of the cdpr stuff, gameplay was pretty mid.

I found the 2.0 update addressed a lot of my issues with it
I was sick of the level scaling forcing me to ditch gear prematurely, especially rather solid uniques if it became too much a burden to keep upgrading

have yet to touch cyberpunk, probably won't until I get a new machine
tough jay
I played 2.0 and 2.1, not saying it has a lot of issues, just the gunplay was meh, the enemy ai is kind of dumb and it just isn't anything special.
hardy merlin
it can get it again, no?
and, tbh
it really deserved it this past year as well
Labor of Love can be awarded only once per game, and it has to be released in years* before awards
barren pewter
kind of a dumb rule tbh
well, the latter rule makes perfect sense, because it is a measure of post launch support
but the former is kinda...dumb
I wonder if Fallout 4's next gen update will count enough to win labour of love next awards season
or if it'll add enough content via CC releases to date and included in the major "relaunch" to count
would have to be a really shit gaming lineup this year to do that tbh
would admit I am excited for it regardless though

tbf CP2077 deserves Labour of Love now than it did in 2022, 2.0 fixed the game (mostly) and made it fun fun
When I played at 1.2 it was meh (I could surf on a curbs down the road tho ) I ended up just speedrunning all endings and that's all
Now I'm 45 hours in, and still on the start of Act II
Gunplay may be meh, but melee combat is oh so satisfying 
It's not a great Action RPG, but it's a great sandbox nevertheless

idk how something could get labour of love if it's just unsuccessfully fixing bugs that shouldnt even make it into launch, just like ongoing support at TGA, I vehemently disagree cp even fit that topic

I find the weapon variety injected by Phantom Liberty really fleshed out the lacking choices
tough jay
It does deserve a participation trophy for at least not walking away from the mess and actually putting in some multi-year effort.
barren pewter
and it is still a constant technical showcase for NVidia tech
hardy merlin
Yeah, I was like "hmm... let's check out how ray-tracing looks in Cyberpunk" followed by immediate "turn it off!!!"
tough jay
From my experience the level of polish was still not great but still acceptable.
I have defenitly enjoyed worse.

maybe if it stops crashing or at least has working stealth in the next hours I remove my negative review, so far I am very glad I did alan wake before it
tough jay
Did not have a lot of crashes, maybe it just runs more stable on Linux
hardy merlin
It didn't crash on me even once in 45 hours (Linux too), but stealth... yeah...
barren pewter
From my experience the level of polish was still not great but still acceptable....
I thought the level of Polish was fine
needed more kurwa but otherwise fine
tough jay
Without RT on amd it outperforms windows at least.
barren pewter
tbh, I only had a crash with the launch day patch
all those years ago
haven't had a single crash since
fringe salmon
oh yeah no RT, cant get 144fps with that
barren pewter
250+ hours in
fringe salmon
have had multiple in 10 hours
hardy merlin
I thought the level of Polish was fine

If they would delay release date and replace crunch with more kurwa everything would be great 
fringe salmon
and then the basically soft lock I got the other day too
barren pewter
replace the crunch time mechanic with crunching pickles during a more reasonable dev period, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

tbh if i had 4090 i would still turn it off if it means that i cant play at stable 4k
barren pewter
I want pickles now
fringe salmon
why is cdpr so shit at making games working even long after release
see this
barren pewter
I think I have some watermelon rind in fridge
hardy merlin
And I still have some cucumber turmeric salad
