handy guide for your mouse reference needs. I am really uploading it for myself so I can find it again here. sue me
What a fall from grace
Obsidian was respectable once upon a time
It's been a while since they did anything good
(Not including Josh Sawyer's pet project)
the screenshots look like skyrim on an elden ring diet. a lot more to my liking than outer worlds was
Outer Worlds was so shite 
I actually forced myself to finish it this time around
It's really not great
I don't know how good Pillars of Eternity II was
I will presume it was good
Last game from Obsidian that I played, that was actually good, was in 2015
Since then, about 2017, they took a major nosedive in quality
only obsidian title I played and enjoyed was Fallout New Vegas, what a fantastic, flawed game
Ngl, I am not the biggest FNV fan
Tbf "fantastic but flawed" is a good descriptor
But I just kinda prefer Fallout 3 
you should play fallout 1/2, they are broken as hell and deeply enjoyable once you get over the initial shock of the controls
No thanks
I cannot comprehend the controls of those games
They just seem unplayable
you get used to them after an hour. just saying, you're missing out. once you break those games, you can do very fun shit in them

It's SPAMUARY! Tom's reviewing the Karl Jobst video about the Billy Mitchell v Twin Galaxies lawsuit blind! He's diving head-first into a deep hole of Donkey Kong drama, so cut him some slack. :D
Need a lawyer? ► https://www.attorneytom.com/
Edited by: @DirkTheEditor
Original Video from @karljobst : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7mE1LkkO...
That's a bit of an ugly mug
billy mitchell? yeah he's always eating shit
Thought it was interesting having a lawyer explain things
And well i saw this being brought up yesterday
not jobst v mitchell yet
iirc karl said their court thing is still in the future
And Karl is 100% taking him to court
Not a fan of Karl but Mitchell deserves it.
He'll milk that stuff for views
I wonder what Karl's CPM is
Judging from his views he should be very well off
But seems to be alright
If karl does take the mitchell dude to court
Karl has a lot of money that's for sure
Karl isn't paying for lawyer costs
It's crowdfunded and notch'd
That's the thing
He's got money
Mitchell doesn't since mitchell was willing to settle with twin galaxies
And well twin galaxies was broke too
But even if lets say karl wins
It wouldn't do much
I don't necessarily know how broke Billy is
Or matter
Billy is a businessowner
He's broke from the twin galaxies lawsuit
A relatively successful one or something
That's why they both settled
Nobody knows that
Nor Twin Galaxies nor Karl
I mean I personally had to go through an immigration lawyer here in canadafor my husband's sponsorship because figuring that shit out on your own is a mess and 8000$ cad went by very quickly
So i can't even imagine for like civil courts or shit like that
its like poof money gone xd
Likely in high tens of thousands to hudreds of thousands a month
Insane amounts of money
But Billy again, owns a business so who knows how profitable that is
Most business owners don't know shit about accounting and making their business profitable
Look at how many people are crumbling because of covid loan mismanagement
Billy's in the food industry and that stuff I would argue is relatively stable
Hi all! Most of you have seen this trailer already when I announced my partnership with Xbox and that ML is coming to Gamepass. If you missed it, here it is!
Link to Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1363080/Manor_Lords/ As always appreciate everyone who wishlists the game. Thanks for the support!
Very very excited
This game looks very unique and I love the strategy genre
holy shit clash of clans looks hella good now
Come on..

Saw the building layout and how it works, literally reminded me of clash of clans
Been waiting for this game forever but if it’s anything like the first Im def not paying 50 bones for a 2 hr game lmao
Did you see the new upgraded series x?

Sounds fun
there's a remaster of part two?
already?
I can't wait for the PC port
and I can't wait for the hella deep discounts that'll come a year later
I think HL2 did developer commentary best, walking through the game and finding the speech bubbles was so unique
That's how all Valve games do it ahah
I love it
Actually impressive for a game that copies numerous games
Which is funny cause I'm not too sure if Nintendo patented the stamina half-circle indicator
That was definitely their.. thing that they "popularized"
Hold on I just saw peak journalism
"animal cruelty doesn't make for a fulfilling experience"
I will.. beg to differ

Lol
oh no the pixels
Not sure I get the whole theme. So you run around with axes and swords... medieval shit. And some pokeman has a fucking fully auto gun?
Mansen
lol
It's literally Ark
Where you replace the dinosaurs with pokemon
And add Breath of the Wild movement mechanics on top
So you basically are playing Ark with climbing and rolling, except with Pokemon instead of dinosaurs
So it's shit.
And you can kill the pokemon for resources like you would do in Ark
It's very much a copy of Ark
Down the main menu, creation of your world, how the world looks, menus, gameplay loop
Like it just reeks of Ark
Even the research is just a carbon copy of Ark
You unlock your individual items with points you get from leveling up.. like you would do in Ark
And what you unlock is literally also copied lol, from fireplaces to medical items, foundations, equipment.. which all are also exact copies from Ark
Firearms are literally copied from Ark, you first get your "flintlocks" and then you later get the better ones, like you would do in Ark
They even copied the Tek mechanic, where you have to beat bosses to unlock "Advanced" items
I mean Ark itself is just a copy of other games too so
Is it?
Ark was fairly unique for when I first heard of it
I haven't quite seen a game that plays exactly like Ark
None play exactly like ark but ark took many attributes from different games
Just like many other games did before Ark
Yep
I have played "base builders" that are like Ark that are from 90s
But one like Ark with taming and being with dinosaurs, very unique
Non non non
Why's something wow?
But why's it wow
Tbf it's impressive that top down mmorpgs are still popular in 2020s
That kind of gameplay style was very popular in '00s
Or Gaia online / maple story
Having played Palworld on game pass for a bit
It inherits the key weakness of Ark
It's bloody boring
It's just so uninteresting
the build in benchmark is so useless though
yeah and for a review that isnt some tech analysis I think it shouldnt be used because people will look at this as what they should get
oh its not the benchmark surprisingly
its a two minute quest trial as healer
oh yeah this aint a limsa benchmark lmfao
which would be 100% cpu limited xD
What?
FF14's benchmark good
Endwalkers can max CPU and GPU out at parts
Sure it doesn't simulate like the Quicksand or anything
But it gives a very fair indication of performance 😛
Check out my SD benchie 😛

Who unironically plays FFXIV
yes vex once again finds out lots of people playing games that he doesnt play
Nah I'm just baiting
anyway, it works for a baseline but higher end cards it just doesnt show as it would work
I have tried playing XIV before but it was very boring
and nothing in the benchmark hits it like delubrum or even some alliance raids
It hits it harder
Raids are easy as fuck to run
What are you on about?
lol
They are some of the lightest content, demand wise
the 8 mans sure not the 48 mans
I see
and I cant really remove all effects when I'm on a role that needs to look who I need to save so I gotta see what the first timers do
24s are still quite light
Don't remember 48 mans
Hell I turn down the effects of anyone not in my party because it becomes a mess 😛
yeah for regular raids sure but much easier to see who is stuck in animation so I can rescue in time or similar
and anyone who uses lots of mods obviously is entirely cpu bound lmfao but that isnt for me so its not that bad
The character customization feature is something we pushed HARD for. I did several data breakdowns for leadership and teams from all disciplines fought the good fight on their end to make this a reality. VERY proud of the teams and I don't even mind that it's a PR move!
【QRT of Destiny 2 (@DestinyTheGame):】

What a joke.
"Let's throw out a feature that was requested since Day 1 we avoided on purpose for good PR"
More examples of higher ups just not giving a shit about what even their own team wants.
the context is in the linked twet you just have to read
its a quote retweet so read the original one as well
I mean quin understood

I mean if you make your stock fall that hard after that statement, should definitely be re-evaluated
That's a otta money
17% since last month 
:D
At this point we won't have to do anything 
I feel bad about wishing for their downfall
Because in the end, it's not really the execs who will suffer first
Peeps will lose their jobs from cuts
And Ubisoft employs quite a lot of people
I mean, I hope each and every single one of them would get poached immediately
AWESOME
fuck those guys
The people working for Ubisoft know what business they're working for. They have choices.
EU isn't big into game development though
What company are you expecting a person in France to work for?
France?
Ain't they french
They have studios worldwide at this point.
Well yes but isn't one of their bigger ones french
Ah no actually it's in Canada the big one
But still, if Ubisoft just axes their french divisions, where are they supposed to go to work? There aren't many french ones
Remote is always an option.
Cross the channel to UK? A lot of work and commitment, leave the country? A lot of commitment
And remote is kinda still frowned upon sadly by many execs
Who the fuck cares about being frowned upon. The jobs are there.
I just kinda feel bad for the devs
They've been abused by exces for years.
They also are paid a salary by those execs
Idk even if Ubisoft is trash, they do employ 20.000 people
I think they have a studio in Syngapore, like, would a syngaporean even have another game company to choose if Ubisoft closes?
execs are not immune to the consequences of stupid stuff they say, even if it takes a scandal. shareholders and board members will have their head if stock plummets that far
I mean... they kind of are.
😰
I wonder when they'll release Ntscworld
Enjoy this lengthy new release date trailer for Outpost: Infinity Siege, an upcoming first-person shooter from Team Ranger that includes base-building and RPG elements. Oh, and piloting mechs, too. It will be released for PC on March 26, 2024.

This looks surprisingly good
Then I got the end and rolled me eyes a little but it still llooks good

Haha very well done
On a serious note don’t suppose you tried running this before lol
nope, never touched skyrim together
especially not on mac
Skyrim Together even for me is a bit of a mystery
All I know is that it had legal trouble, used to be patreon only
Got no clue what the project is like
Oh man this is amazing
Palworld is one of those games that manages to stir up an amazing controversy
The "Pals are just blatant copies of Pokemon" argument, which is true, aside
I love that people just for whatever reason find the ability to butcher a sheep or even another player disgusting
As if Ark hasn't done that 10 years before 
I was hoping for fallout together, because I want to play fallout with my Fleibear
but without playing 76
With a what
Fleibear.?
If it's a mac with an intel cpu just dual boot into windows
...um
nvm
Could also use parallels to run windows, performance is pretty good
M1 Pro, 16 core GPU iirc
tbh, Bexin is probably doing something to emulate the windows filesystem for skyrim anyway
via some implementation of WINE
so that shouldn't be a concern
Welp game porting toolkit
Parallels iirc don’t work from what other people say
Gpt works skyrim and mods but I can’t launch Skyrim together directly
so it's either a mac via wine specific problem with skyrim together
or you fucked up the install
Mac via wine I believe question is if there’s a work arround
Already got one app to work just by launching it as a non steam game through steam instead of diree see city
And trying to launch it through steam then selecting Skyrim exe I get failed to select game install file not found
I was trying to give a noob proof way of making things work as i don't expect a mac user to be smart
😛
...I think Bexin might actually be a little more intelligent than the average mac gamer
Thankfully Steamworks DRM is easy to bypass

YOINK
LOL what an amazing feature
thats knowing your audience
The developer isn't Chinese?
I am not sure about sexy times in videogames
But if you have ever looked at any doujinshi, those aren't very censored.. and published 
I think the censorship law applies for live-stuff
Well no I very much read proper magazine published doujinshi from time to time
Some have some amazing stories
it took me years to finally realize that my forearm tensing up during shooting is the reason my aim sux
weirdly psychological that
Always keep a untensed hand and arm while aiming
I think steam would ban it then
They have very biased system of taking down games
so anything anime like artstyle gets targetted first
There's literal porn games on there
Yea i know
But steam tends to randomly ban games for no reason
Doubt it’s for no reason
I like Visual Novels, but I see way too many complaints on reddit when a VN is refused / removed, and then look at it and the girls all look 12 and the description is like "contains sexual situations" ect. I don't blame Valve on that.
House party has a dlc which uncensors on steam
Games like HP however are where the characters are all clearly adults / over 21
Not some 9000 year old dragon oli
loli
With the bodyh of a 5 year old
Valve generally wants to take a libertarian approach, but their legal department disagrees at times. I personally don't often see them going hard on the bans if there is no reason.
loli porn is legal is nome places and illegal in others and in some countries it's complicated, a matter of realism and such.
Does make sense that Valve does not want the liability for that.

GET IN THE FUCKING BUNKER, FOLKS!
What even is Quake 
All I know about the franchise is that it had a very popular tournament arena shooter
There's a story to it?
Yes?
Thought it was your generic Counter Strike style arena shooter
So, what's Quake 5?
It seems that there's many games but there's no 5
I assume Champions would be cause it's a "mainline release"?
Tbf not that I care much, never played this franchise
they were great for their time.
Only really played quake 3
The only games from the old old days I got to play via Flash was I think Doom
Probably Doom 2 I doubt it was 1
And Hexen
Other than that I grew up with flash games and post-2000 video games with some late 90s classics
Counter strike is no arena shooter💀
Technically it is
Iirc there was a browser based version of quake live
Then every shooter is
Considering my card is from 2018 and can't do RTX? Yes, I have not
Not that I have a particular interest in raytracing
Bit of a rich people's tech
There's no point in raytracing on a cheaper display
I'd have to shell out like a grand on an mled
Some games do do pathtracing
pathtracing is just more faking it

you shoot a few rays and guess the rest using AI
with nvidia implementation
crt prob helps with its blooming to cover noise artifacts
Raytraxing looks cool
I used to think quake 2 was kind of boring and shitty, but the remaster brought out the good game it was underneath for me. the quake series is worth checking out, especially the first part has quite a unique style, as it was made under durress
What is Quake, anyway? This video retrospective of the whole Quake franchise looks at each title and their expansions to see how the series evolved through time, if there is a story or not, and if any of it makes any sense in the end. The video considers the story of Quake from both a fiction and nonfiction perspective in its critique. It pays p...
there is a fantastic video essay about it here
I own a 7900ztx and i still like to turn on some rt effects, all depends on the game and hiw it looks
RT is very cool and since I am pretty anal about video game shadowing techniques, it fixes quite a few niggles for me... that were unfortunately historic to begin with
if I put raytraced shadows on in the newer WoW clients or elden ring, I don't really notice a difference, which demonstrates how far raster graphics have become at an order of magnitude of the speed
Rt shadows i dont notice tbh but rt reflexions look good
reflections are pretty baller, tho the cost of rendering it all... I wish it could be done for a few surfaces only
shadows are much easier to calculate for raster
With consoles and lower-end pc hardware I don't think RT has much room to be transformational.
The goal should probably be as much as possible hybrid techniques using information from rt to enhance tranditional techniques
thats the main problem of rt
you cant customize it
the current implementation of rt is just simulating it one way
That is not a big problem as long as your game is build for rt in the first place
eventually you will want rt in games like mario etc
so that you can start blending color properly etc
but yea adding it to existing games sucks
I do believe its not just faster hardware we need but also smarter implementations.
rt will also be more noticeable once hdr is finally standardized
i believe at least
more accurate sim = more accurate color + put that into rec 2020 space on display that has actual contrast
The problem with Nvidia's vendor-specific implementations is that they will only be an additional option.
Resulting in having 2 different pipelines
its still a few samples for rt so you can visibly see that its sampled
Would be cool if other relevant parties banded together to develop new open tools.
If Sony Microsoft Valve Intel and AMD banded together on developing these techniques in the open it would be good for everyone.
intel will 100%
they invested gigaton into AI recently irrc
but i dont know if they will make a solution that will work as well on all brands
like xess is made to work the best on intel
there is a mod that works like nanite for minecraft
but it only works on nvidia card
pissed me off xD
I read about that mod, the problem is it relies on a niche thing
that mod uses opengl mesh shaders which were only ever implemented on nvidia.
Because XeSS has two different modes and the extra hardware on arc cards isn’t on the others
nvidia doesnt have any special hardware for rt than amd i think.........? its just better rt cores
unless dlss 3.5 also uses cuda/tensor
Also for intel to have a big part there we first need them to not drop out of consumer gpus first which is the currently likely scenario after celestial
Nvidia has more specialized hardware than amd for RT
That’s like the whole point of why they are better at it
i hope they dont
a770 is actually a good card lol
Still I can imagine that a cuda / tensor backend and one compatible with RX 7000 amd could be possible for XeSS.
Providing it is open.
Or, more likely, PC gaming scene dies 
Despite memes amd is still in a better position to fight with Nvidia than intel by a long shot
with how little stock is being moved, prices will have to get down again
AI did wonders, I see
7900xtx is 50% the price of 4090 here
or even 40% depends which coolers you want to compare
I do wish AMD and Intel would work together more on the software / rendering side as they are both definitely not market leaders and it's a strongpoint for Nvidia.
if we talking raster
its 20-30% within...
so i mean
its not bad deal
no it is not a bad deal indeed
Not sure what you mean by that
i mean amd is trying to release drivers that dont have a bug
but it doesnt always work out

Like combining rocm and oneapi? Those aren’t really graphics related but would be the only thing where they are behind
never heard of these
It’s cuda competition essentially
ok
Otherwise they aren’t really behind much on software
Although with Intel and their oneapi it really feels like straight up xkcd927 
Heh yeah a bit
nvidia has a shitty reputation on loonix but I find even their driver code there fantastically stable. no glitches, no bullshit. AMD on the other hand...
nvidia has some issues with hdr and dsc on their new drivers from what i heard
amd drivers are very random
just dont update them if you arent 1 year behind
or a large optimization patch didnt come out
I mean, I found amdgpu/vulkan-radeon stack pretty stable
amdvlk on the other hand...
I've had my issues with amdgpu, admittedly not much, but it sucked in a few key ways
But for the future it’s really simple
If rdna5 halo is fastest card -> it’s all that matters because software is good enough
If rdna5 halo is worse than 5090 -> amd is ignored again
I hope DLSS will be open one day. it's my favorite upscaling and AA rolled into one.
I'm so spoiled by it that games with aliasing give me eye cancer now
I'm the weird one then, I play all games with AA off 
I used to do it for a very long time like this, as no AA save of supersampling or esoteric hacky shit like SGSSAA would make me happy
might as well get used to the jaggies
yea i mean
all forms of AA ruin pixel clarity
grid of pixels is really problematic
Jaggies 
you need AA alghoritm that is very selective
supersampling (or using a high dpi monitor) gives you best clarity, but rendering at 4k you need to have the hardware to do it at your desired performance level. everything else is just a hack. and for hax, DLSS is my darling
I am guessing that this game selling so well will encourage them to make even more ripoffs
Ripoffs?
Game clones
i mean
But... Palworld isn't a ripoff?
Tbf PocketPair, if they understand what to do, will use their 60 million or so they earned from this title, to support it for years to come
Release expansion packs or whatever like Ark does
No.
It'd be nice to see them add content over time
I remember them giving a roadmap to Craftopia way back then
Craftopia was such a Zelda clone holy moly
I'm sorry, but the instant I saw this, my eyes turned into cartoon toilet bowls, and my irises into little poos swirling therein
oh also honorable mention to FSR 2.2, but fuck does it look bad at low fps
Tbf I genuinely.. appreciate PocketPair existing
They blatantly ripped off Breath of the Wild with Craftopia
And it sold very well
Now they are blatantly ripping off Ark and Pokemon and it's selling incredibly well
Which is funny cause they managed to in a way embarrass Nintendo and Studio Wildcard in a single game
We call this game development. When you merge two existing concepts and it blends well.
By selling millions of copies on a pokemon ripoff, and a better game than Ark Survival Ascended 
Go back to Doom 1, you old fogie 😄
I am actually happy for PocketPair holy shit 
Any Nintendo embarrassment is a good day
Also embarrassing Studio Wildcard as well? Man now that's a great day
The more people clone Pokemon and release it on PC to buy, while Nintendo can't be arsed to do so is good
Temtem was a good one for a pokemon inspired title
Like, I just really hate consoles
Nintendo just insists on exclusives
Bring those damn games to PC
emulators are doing that within their consoles' lifetime lately kek
Given the state of latest Pokemon releases I'm inclined to believe you
i dont like using 5 different devices to play games
technically been doing that since N64. you could emulate N64 games on PC with UltraHLE in 1998, full speed. nintendo's reaction was to shit and piss everywhere
- 1999
My solution now is simply play pc games that work on linux (most of them)
Accept that there are some edge-cases of games I won't play including nintendo.
If I really want to, I could buy it on switch, then pirate the updates (as I don't think my switch can go online).
also, I noticed yesterday that despite the small form factor, the grid design of the 60HE is still kind of at odds with my hand shape. it's the kind of stuff you don't notice until every other nuisance factor is optimized out. I'm kind of wondering, what do ergonomic keyboards like the Keychron Q8 feel like?
The bar is so low 😂
Or buy the switch game to dump it and play on an emulator.
purely for gaming reasons I might add
or just download the switch game
Which is actually impressive that a company that makes nothing but blatant ripoffs of other games actually succeeded 
Complete Annhilation
But only the second game.
I'm sorry, only now?
This should have been in development for a few years now
They finally got Skull and Bones somewhat out
I expect them to be the same team
It's Ubisoft Singapore
Which actually made Skull and Bones, yes
I guess that project was on the backburner
But skull and bones isn't out yet?
It's like a March release or something like that
Yeah, but it finally got out of development hell
Prolly will be shite as well
today we learn that in game dev not everyone works on a project all the time so if a game nears completion people dont work on it and start other stuff
I need to look up Ubisoft's game history cause I can't recall the last good one
avatar?
Black Flag?

That one was good
Wasn't Rogue alright though
Peeps liked Syndicate and Unity
Black Flag was the last one I enjoyed - for the pirate stuff, they completely lost the plot with the whole alien civilization shit in the third game.
Far Cry.... 3?
Far Cry 3 didn't have aliens 
I'm naming the last games I remember enjoying from their franchise 😛
And of course Watch Dogs, just the first one. The 2nd one completely went off the rails and changed the storytelling to shit.
Oh yeah I know the last good Ubi game
Anno 1800
That was a few years back but genuinely a good game
Blue Byte continues to release quality
It has a ton of the ANNO issues, but it was a pretty decent game in spite of that.
1404 was the last good RTS ANNO.
I did not like 1404 at all
2205 split RTS apart from city building - which worked.
I think 1800 combines best elements of all games
Throws you a crap load of content
And is a pretty good package
Remove the AI and it's manageable.
It's biggest problems is all of the DLC.
They are working on a new one though
It both adds mechanics and makes them frustrating.
Also a ton of old bugs that modders have had to try and fix.
Imo they are good DLCs though
Also no map editor to date is... painful.
Isn't that game nearly completely randomly generated?
No.
You use prefab islands.
You can tell the game to mix them in a different way, but the islands are always identical.
Which brings me to my main issue - That fucking giant island DLC.
It's completely static, meaning that every single time you replay it, you'll be on the same exact island.
That's the one most people hate
Cause it completely switches out how you play the game
It's just a "peaceful builder" 
What's worse is - All future DLC after that builds on and assumes you're using that island specifically.
So you stop playing ANNO like... well ANNO
I do believe at some point 1800 started suffering from feature creep
Like there was a lot to micromanage and to do
You're going to be completely overwhelmed an hour in, every time.
Which tbf some people like, it's a massive game
All of the DLC opens up at the same time, all asking you to pay attention to them 😄
I just tend to ignore half of them
(which you kinda can't cause they are literally tied into progression)
Yeah you'll be zooming back and forth between the old world, new world constantly. Then also the arctic and more rarely africa.
Tbf it is a massive game to lose yourself in
Not a casual one, but a focused micromanagement simulator
I just wish they'd fix more issues. Like how the trains will stop working after a certain point, because the game can't handle the pathfinding on a large island (let alone the big DLC one)
Why I usually just go to about 50% of the progression and quit before the big supply chain trees open up
So you'll grab mods to use alternative power plants as workaround cheats.
Why is IGN posting about.. moon landings
Did IGN branch out of game publications?
I really like how in their "best handheld PC ranking" they mostly write some short snippet about a handheld, but when it comes to Deck that snippet is all about Deck not running Windows
https://www.ign.com/articles/best-handheld-gaming-pc
Tbf Deck not running windows is pretty annoying 
Nah, Windows running on a handheld is pretty annoying 
its both
not being able to run everything is annoying, win on a handheld is annoying
It's IGN
what do you need to run on a deck that steam doesn't
If you're into competitive gaming or something
went to check for myself after hearing this argument a lot, which games run and which don't.. Apex Legends, OW2, CS2, LoL, The Finals, they all run through Proton or a native build. Valorant and Fortnite do not
MW3 also does not run
Valorant is due to their rootkit anticheat I assume?
ah thats good, i have no interest in any of those games
Ironic that Fortnite isn't Linux given the history of Epic.
im surprised apex works via proton
yeah, it hooks into the windows kernel which obviously does not work with wine. kind of invasive for an anti-cheat method
destiny also doesnt
yeah. also not for the lack of compatibility, but another uber shit anticheat
especially since the anti cheating methods they use are supported on the platform, they just have no interest until (according to Tim Sweeney) tens of millions of people request it
which is kind of lol.
cheating is such a big issue these days. It made a lot of friends quit the finals because they kept getting cheaters regularly
it's so rampant in every game that doesn't use super invasive anti cheat that I've had friends begging for the game companies to just install invasive software on their computer if it makes the cheaters go away lol
hey ! Is there any Brawhalla player out there ?
yeah and valorant still has cheaters despite it all
but I do also prefer that over cheater lobbies all the time, even if I know the slope this is going down to
yeah now they have hardware cheaters who are even harder to catch, but thankfully those are a bit less outside of china

I flippin love this dood
His humour is just insane
1 seconds in I'm already chuckling cause of scuffed GTA6 trailer song
Oh it's the Top gear souls guy.
Yep yep
Lol I was about to say
This is actually impressive
Nearly as many players as CS2
PUBG still exists? 
Haha
Servers borked
Major Baldur's Gate 3 vibes
It's almost like people want to play a game about pokemon with guns
Turns out there IS a market for Pokemon players with some pent up aggression for two and a half decades of "your pokemon merely fainted"

Tbf the whole slaughtering your pokemon aspect is prolly amazing stress relief
And people*
Shoot it, stab it, punch it, yeet it off a cliff
https://mashable.com/article/x-twitter-elon-musk-mrbeast-video-unlabaled-ads-creator-monetization what
Idk where this should go, it's not tech or game talk but I don't want to touch the mess that is general
Is there an "X videos" platform that I haven't seen yet?
Nothing separate, no.
I still have no idea who Mr Beast is, but the fact Elon likes him makes me worried
who says elon likes him
How can you not know who Jimmy is
Like, it's one thing to watch them, but Beast is like at this point a global superstar
elon wants people to use twitter for videos so they get the biggest youtuber to try it out and fake numbers to make it look better
I just don't pay attention to celebrities, I know he's popular enough to have chocolates sold in Woolsworth, but I have never really been curious enough to google what he does
Too little, too late. Twitter killed video years ago, when they made tweets with Youtube links and such lose exposure completely.
It has turned the platform into poison by reputation.
nah thats on prupose, you now upload them to twitter directly or stream to it, remember he wants to control it and have it be wechat for the west, including payment processing
the rest of the issues makes it too late but otherwise it would maybe have had a chance
That's what I'm saying. No one does that, because of Twitter's reputation for video.
well thats the point they want to change but doing that by fake boosting stats isnt a good plan
(Also Twitter doesn't even have bandwidth to playback short clips, let alone full videos)
ehh it does work a bit
Could have fooled me.
since they added that you can upload full length videos and stream to it they make that part better
Need a browser extension to get Twitter video working
no?
Yes
on some obscure browser or what
It's worthless on my end. So make of that what you want.
Without the extension Twitter automatically starts the video at 144P
never happened for me on the few videos I clicked on that site
Say what you will this script at least was needed to make video look good

so 2 yers before musk got the platform and like 3 before they made all the changes that you can upload long videos and stream to it...
which is unlikely to have much if any parts left in the new system since you dont just flip a switch and have all the missing features
I expect it to go like valheim or similar, interest will go down fast in a bit
It's not marketed at thus though.
And she very quickly says "yeah it's Ark", which everyone here immediately said.
It's funny to read, the comments as well. People are genuinely upset about the Pal killing.
The irony of saying how it feels cruel to enslave the pals and have them fight for you - while also kind of saying Pokemon is great, is just weird
Besides who the fuck wants to play Pokémon with guns. Pokémon doesn't have violence. It would be the equivalent of asking for water guns.
Pokemon doesn't have violence? Check out the Manga. 
Sorry. Pokémon doesn't exist outside of the video games after the first season of the anime.
lol
I don't see anything in the steam reviews. if there are articles about it, assume it's fabricated controversy. some garbage journalists will write anything for clicks
"In a 2021 tweet, [Palworld CEO] Mizobe showed how AI could be used to generate new Pokémon designs." 💀😬
↘️ Quoting VGC (@VGC_News)
Steam’s newest hit, Palworld, has been accused of plagiarising designs from Pokémon, as social media users negatively highlight its creator’s history with generative AI tools.
yeah they even have a ai art game on steam, the guy is very heavy into it
it's not stealing, it's complicated stealing (tm)
Generative Ai can be quite helpful
I bet their coders use Ai to help them code as well
I bet their art mostly did because every one of their mosnters has some resemblances to a specific style or pokemon even 
Well Pokemon are based off of real life animals for the most part, so I'm sure legally they're in the clear
It is genuinely impossible not to copy Pokemon at this point in some way or shape.
A THOUSAND
Lol
Oh look. A literal treasure chest.
I even got to say I don't care if they did steal Nintendo's designs, I hate nintendo,
A literal keychain
Don't forget the nose pokemon
Nintendo suck
I mean there is a difference between every single one looking like a pokemon or some having some overlap
Literally a karp.
I could probably still see a list of digimon and pokemon mixed and could see which one is which despite not having seen or played either in years
also I wonder what would be the difference between a human and an LLM throwing together a bunch of pokeyman inspired shit and coming up with amalgamation designs
Nintendo would sue a 6yr dressed up as Mario for Halloween if they could.
They probably have tbh
true story. I was the CEO
It wouldn’t even surprise me
😐<— my surprise after it is in fact real
Well everything except for the part about the lawsuit 😄
and the thailand part

I didn’t read it
I am far too superior to read a buzz feed article

i still got it even after years off the game
A sense of depression and untreated gambling obsession?
Seek help
I’m part of that community

how do you guys play with 60% keyboard ?
i just got a wooting and was using full keyboard before
and now i start to see alot of key that i can’t use anymore

World's first?
you get used to it pretty quick
noo it’s hard
like
where is f6
to ff in valorant
wtf
fn + 6
what I do is, I bind fn to caps lockl
then you can do it in one hand, while the other hand caresses your cat
Or mod tap
yeah that's what I actually do. but I have caps lock disabled in the OS at the same time. stupid button

Eyes up guardian
looks cool
Someone made a ",breeding mod" for pal world and charged 10$, guy is apparently making a lot of money
Wait a sec
This is a location from Elden Ring
Palworld is a like a dream come true, check out our gameplay and best settings so far for the Early Access release, with a mix of survival, monster hunting and pokemon style capture, its a fantastic game to dive into on the steam deck.

30FPS at Medium, honestly better than I'd expect
I don't understand why this game gets compared to pokemon
Like
It has creatures/minions
And you catch/collect them
That's where the similarities end
Rest is just a survival game
I love Pokemon but I have no interest in this because it's... not a pokemon rpg this is a survival game
I play pokemon because i enjoy turn by turn rpgs and monster collecting
This is not a turn by turn rpg it's a survival game, a genre I DESPISE
also early access survival game... seen that before and we all know where they end, never finished
Guess so? People forgot that Digimon and Persona and other monster collecting games exist
- this developer has another game in early access since 2020 and that has made no progress
So im very skeptical
Of course you should be skeptical, not sure why you're talkin g about it though
I just saw a few videos about it + hubby was talking about it because cute creatures may keep my attention span for longer than 5 seconds and make me endure playing a survival game with him as he enjoys those games and i hate them with a passion
Thats why xd
Well it is on Gamepass if you got that, basically a free trial
Myself I've not bought it yet, havent had a gamer group to paly with for the last 2-3 years and it's far too awkward to break into new ones / make new ones. Especially when you work night shift.
- one of his friends has it and is like plz get itttt
I think i have like a gamepass 3 day trial code that came with an xbox controller i got
I never redeemed it
@still spire thx for letting me know
Yeah no problem, can see how it runs at least
Clearly too demanding for my 7900xtx
;-;
dem graphics are too much
It's fairly intense yeah, my 4090 @ 3440x1440 with High settings, trying for 120, saw 70-80% GPU usage. DLSS is nto enabled in Gamepass version so yeah
Game looks... pretty basic too...
still looks very meh
Unreal engine 5
No lumen
It's unreal engine 5 in an indie developer, Japanese no less
It's a miracle that runs as good as it does
It even runs on a SteamDeck, you can run it on your desktop
Quit expecting all ultra quality
The game looks ugly is what im saying xd
Looks basic af
I know it's an indie game and an early access game but still from gameplay i saw the visual look meh
Acceptable
Game lacks cohesion visually as a whole
Just looks like someone dropped models in and called in a day
Without really... trying to make things fit together
Actually looks quite nice
Looks... bland
Especially rocks
And textures
Creature models look good tho
It's the environements really
Wrong
It has waifus
No clue
The fact the devs are Japanese is cool though, can't remember a Japanese EA game before
I thought they were Chinese until abit ago
And it's done it
Yep
I mean sure, it'll probably be down to 100,000~ players in 3 months or something, but the money is made
Game already runs better than Ark by a long shot too, so. 
No clue
It's a Crafting Survival game lol
Music wasnt a priority probably

lol
I mean...it's a Japanese game by a Japanese company so
Nintendo subs banned Palworld
By that I mean any posts mentioning it are auto removed
r/PS5 is crying it's not on the "Platform with the biggest potental playerbase"
PCs chop liver I guess ~
It's on Xbox as well
But I mean PC is the biggest gaming platform
In terms of customers
Yeah
But it's just r/PS5 thinking they're spsheul again
Yeh
kill animals
enslave animals
use them in any way you wish for
top sales stonks
profit

fresh meat
jesus the brickwalling absolutely destroys any perceivable melody
Struggling to find a reason to upgrade fom my ps4 pro to my ps5, ratchet and clank made me want to upgrade but then it came to pc and well everythig else kept releasing on ps4 pro. Visual upgeades ain't enough yo have me upgrade to a ps5 i need games. Rn there's spiderman 2 but well we know from the insomniac leak it's coming to pc.
ff16, demon souls
Ff16 releasing on pc and demon souls well if i havent finished elden ring on pc i don't think i'll play it much
elden ring is much larger and not as linear
and yeah but that will still take over a year or more
I can wait a year i think
if you can wait you never need a console because it will either come to pc or gets emulated ¯_(ツ)_/¯
New consoles seem to have a problem where developers aren't willing to move up until the customers upgrade, but the customers have no reason to upgrade since new games are still being released on old hardware.
Also many don't have the money which makes the feedback loop above worse
Had a look, and it does seem to be changing now, but damn took em a while
the ps5 is on pace to outsell ps3,4 and maybe even the 2 depending on how releases go
and its always been the case if you can support current and next gen you do both because that is such a bigger market
Games with the biggest peak concurrent audience in the history of @Steam:
1.) PUBG, 3.3M
2.) Counter-Strike, 1.8M
3.) Lost Ark - 1.3M
4.) DOTA2 - 1.3M
5.) Cyberpunk 2077 - 1.1M
** NEW ** 6.) Palworld - 1M
7.) Elden Ring - 953K
8.) New World - 913K
9.) Hogwarts Legacy - 879K
Holy moly
Oh I see that twitter embeds are now fixed
The more shit Pokemon gets, the more fun it is
Gamefreak, Switch 2 will be powerful enough to develop games pretty on both handhelds and PC/consoles, PORT YOUR GAMES
Porting the games isn't the issue with pokemon
Nintendo is doing what they're doing since 1983... And what they are doing is definitely not about their console being the most powerful
Exclusives are more than enough to carry the whole console
Nintendo always made their console just powerful enough to play their own games
Don't care if other companies games run well or not
Well
They care now with the switch
other companies have the same hardware access its not like other parties making games for nintendo consoles couldnt do the same
nintendo and apple are kindred spirits with their closed ecosystem and culty fanbase
Apple's worst part of fanbase is at least somewhat tolerable
Nintendo's psycho-fans would rip you apart for barely mentioning emulation
The problem, with pokemon is that it's still selling and they are trying to make modern 3d games with the development cycle of gameboy game.

Today I am responding to a lawyer who defended Jirard.
Moony's vid: https://www.yout...
Karl's back at it again 
1.5 hour video holy smokes
I ain 't watching an hour and a half long video.
I watched it. He’s not doing fraud he’s just a dumbass
By definition of fraud, he's kind of a fraudster
I don’t think he took the money and did anything with it
Keep in mind it costs to do stuff for charity
And he did say he did use the money for reimbursing his event expenses
But it did.. nothing really?
That’s common
Event costs are often costs the charity money pays
I believe at least
Having a hard time believing it costs 30k to do an event once or twice a year
Jobst is just ranting here, Moon, did not do his homework. They almost sound like twitch streamers at this point.
Whatever, fraudster or not, he's fucked up and I'm tired of that whole thing
Surprised that Karl released 1.5 hour video though
Running events are expensive
He didn't want to spend the time making a shorter video.
Ranting for 90 minutes takes much less time than making a well organized 15 minute rebutal.
i dont think hes facing jail time
i have no idea but i havent heard of any jail time
Having watched moon's video I think a core point of him was there is a large different with behavior we would call fradulent / bad, and what would legally get you convicted for fraud.
As far as I understand yes.
i dont think there are damaged parties its just a dude who lied about donating money he said he had donated
Moon apologized for the video, and claims to be making a apology video as well.
but after 10 years he donated it
Still I would not trust a charity event by the completionist either way. Just because he is not proven to be fraudulent does not make the way he handled his charity good.
Letting it sit, not very well explained large costs do not help credibility.
well now no one will ever donated to any more of his charity work 😄
its kinda sad for the charity to be so poorly managed since it was honoring his mom
did silly billy pay or get paid?
Nobody knows what the settlement with Twin Galaxies is
Karl is yet to take him to court though, still in pre-court
??
Valve suck
Fucking morons
tf2 and cs were some of the biggest cases of lootboxes so its not like they are completely off
But not the first
Far from the first, Asian games had been doing it since the 90s
I didnt say the first?
Lineage, Ragnarok, , Maple Story ectera
I know
Just trying to say Valve is responsible for the state of microtransctions is wildin
Valve still sucks
And that's fair if you think so
Just don't put the blame on them for somehow "inventing" microtransaction
😛
MMOs had it before but TF2 was the first big game in a very different genre to add it afaik
No
Lots of FPS had it before
Crossfire, Wolfteam
AVA
Some I'm missing, been awhile
S4 League
yeah taking a look at it just never have seen it big anywhere before tf2
oh lol
And it had MT before TF2, is also a team FPS
oh yeah looks like its the version of tf2/cs for asian market lol
Yeah I palyed it when Iw as younger
It was pretty decent
It's the most played game in the world that 8/10 gamers haven't heard of
😛
but I always wondered if valve never made those mtx and most importantly, never made the steam marketplace to take cut on people trading them, would that have taken off?
Maybe we'd have NFTs actually taking off
lmao
Cs skins are just nfts
literally not
It’s something, it could be anything
But linked to a blockchain of some kind to prove ownership and indicate legitimate transfers
NFT community sucks
oh yeah
NFT still a thing?
Sounds like I gotta start opening tf2 crates
Literally what I thought
You can tell when things are a.i, the stlye looks so, bleek
Dont know the word for it
Just made a word up that came to mind
Uninspired
Incoherent
Feels like you pressed random on a character generator
Honestly I do feel like AI is a massive copyright violation, it's a machine trained to copy art. Contains data inside on art not owned by the companies that made it. Like bro, if I made cookies only to find some megacorp stole all my cookies to sell as "AI generated cookies" I would be pissed
I am certain Ultrakill will not work on consoles. But I have not tried it's controller support
fucking crapcom idiots
mh going down the same mtx infested drm route as every other game, while expected, is just sad to see
Doesn't work on Linux either, completely broken Proton compatibility
Capcom must've been really angry after that nude mod incident on SF tournament
I guess even Capcom is not so delusional to add a DRM to a demo 
Playing System Shock Remake and the puzzles made no sense.
So they aren't explained in the game but in a pdf in the games folder
And they are not inituitive lol
A lot of the visual design choices obscure parts of the puzzle
that and they probably wanna kill mods in general so they can sell cosmetics
not the news i needed today, mh is like the one franchise i still follow big time

Capcom "PC Gaming makes up the majority of our revenue today and ours games are well liked for being optimized and mod friendly"
Capcom CEO "And I took that personally."
REFramework jsut got updated to bypass it and make it work again, but now you**need* a mod to make it work on SD instead of just working lol
yeah, it's more of a general feeling
that exactly
yeah mods might work again but who knows
Iceborne had denuvo trash performance too
shit like that just makes me sad :/
