Alright fair, just doesnt' feel so bad in a co-op game
It's not heinous, but it is disingenuous to say it isn't pay to win.
The game is fun, played it a bunch over the weekend with some friends. I support what they've done and it's a good game
I just dislike the post title where he talks about it as if it's some kinda noble thing.
Like "Look at our MTX, how noble of us" is how that reads
And that stinks.
gg
Can HD2 be played solo, or do you have to be part of a team
You can solo it
It's just way harder
People do the max difficutly solo, but literally you gotta be Godtier
Okay, i am no godtier, lol
i intend to throw myself at the brickwall that is solo max difficulty
remasters trying not to be a lazy cashgrab challenge
Cloud seen some shit before Rebirth release 
i though it was more of an expansion than anything
i wonder if Mkilbride can talk about anything else than helldivers 2
oh just did. 😶🌫️
milkbride*
lol whoops
Next target is 20k friendly fire
helldivers 2? is it worth it
That depends on how much $40 is worth to you, but I'm having fun with it
Better with friends though, wouldn't be very fun solo I think
thats like, 40 packs of gum
why is the ps5 outselling the series x/s by such a wide margin? I live under here ---> 🪨
Probably because Xbox has no exclusives? 
i love when xbox vs ps4 losers say which one of their worse PC's are better
Which you can also get on PC 
i mean a few exclusives
So, you?
more niche tho
Series S presents decent value
Series X just.. why would you buy it
Game Pass exists on PC if you really need it
And S can play most games anyways
I don't think there are Xbox games you can't play on PC 
PlayStation has their little exclusivity monopoly and that's exactly why people are borderline forced to buy one
Cause well, GTA 6 is coming out on consoles first lol
who likes playing stuff on pc 😵💫
There are
Well, kinda
Game Pass specifically has PC and console games
I heard that forza horizons is pretty much the only thing you can play only on xbox
I only have PC for newer games
And Deck, so PC too
Nah, FH4 and 5 are on Steam
Even work on Linux...
I fail to see the point of a console but, you do you people
LOL nevermind then
Yeah I found one
Fable II
Fable 2 was NEVER ported to PC 
Which is exactly why I had to bring back my damn Xbox Series S from my sister whom I gave to
playing games on ma living room setup
without hassle
Ah, if we're going way back, then Saints Row I also wasn't ported to PC 
Uh, PC
Again I see absolutely zero reason to ever use a console
.
It's not a hassle to use a PC either
you gonna need keyboard and mouse
Everyone has their own weird preferences I suppose
I kinda grew up with a PSX and PS2
Ditched it for PC later
Boot straight to Steam Big Picture, and you only need a gamepad
sounds like hassle to setup
Add Steam to Autostart? 
what would the comparable value be for a PC in hardware
i mean works ig but what about pressing one button on a controller that lays on your table
and ye then playing stuff in dolby vision
That's just justifying getting console over PC to save like 10 minutes of set-up 
is there a pc that beats the performance of a series X in a similar package
with low noise and everything
the steam deck being 400bux probably says it all
they gotta upgrade from 1080p first
Low.. noise? All PCs are low noise
So it's a skill issue
if it's any consolation, SD is the only linux device with working HDR lmao
lemme guess, it's an AMD
wuuuuut
Only Radeons are allowed to coilwhine in Hadseed's brain 
it was an educated guess 😎
Your educated guesses are typically wrong
i aint putting a amd gpu in my pc
American issues
I guess NV is just blatantly overpriced in Europe cause the pricing here is far better with Radeon
we rich tho so its fine
Better price, better perf
better perf compared to intel maybe
Another educated guess? 
😭
naw this is just reality
You are wrong
AMD performs better than Nvidia in raster, have been for about 2 generations now
NV only have a big lead in RT which I fail to care about
but green cooler
Tbf Nvidia are getting some cool features like that whole Remix
I just fail to see how that's worth 20% price uplift over the generally better performing Radeons
i can afford a 4090, i dont want to spend that kind of money on a gpu
Just saying the 50 series might be coming out next year
absolutely and blatantly wrong but okay
It's.. February of 24
So if you’re gonna go big just something worth noting at some point
Oh please, give sources then
google "7900xtx benchmarks" and look at any results
It's a full year until '25 and even then it might be hell knows when they release blackwell
Darling, do you know what rasterization is
yo just found this
When I can get my wooting 60 he ? I buy it January the 24
Oh look, HU's 4080 Super review
Performs worse at 1440p with 12 game average
Loses out in cost per frame
Even more worse at 4K
Hagseed, I don't mind you that much, but you are sometimes blatantly misinformed
I think you're missing a row there
AMD beats NV in rasterization, period
NV just has RT and overall better features
Though I don't mind FSR 2.3 that much the few times I played a game that supported it
1440p
You do realize AMD can easily match the 4090 in rasterization if they wanted to?
4k
Compare apples to apples not an apple to an orange
I guess they just hate money and success then
4090 is like 2000$ everywhere for 20FPS more?
What
sure it's beating them for price per performance, but not in pure perf as you claim
There's no reason to do halo products when 90% of people don't pay more than 1000$
They.. beat them in pure perf
For the same price bracket
Hell, lower price bracket
TPU invents numbers from hell knows where
with that additional condition, I agree, but that doesn't mean "amd beats them in perf"
With the outlier that is the 4090 which is a Titan class card
hows the power consumption
Generally better on NV nowadays
you both agree
I'd get a 4070Super but they are horrendously overpriced when I can get a 7900GRE that performs way better, for 100 euros cheaper
hows price over time with electricity cost and resale value
Why do either of those things matter?
im economicmaxxing
Oof
Which will launch in like 1.5 years
skipping this gen entirely is probably the best choice
Oh damn there are 400 euro 6800XTs on ebay
Talk about value
Meh my GPU might be 4 years old, it's still fine
yeah and with the low amounts of stock they're moving these days, they're sure as hell not gonna go and try to jack the price again next time around
Wait, you think that Radeon doesn't sell?
You couldn't be more wrong
I am not talking about radeon...
Ada Lovelace?
Ada sells fine
People have the same thing with NV that they have with Intel
Intel will sell them trash and sheeps will gobble it up even though it's hot trash like their CPUs have been for the past 4 years
NV can price gauge and sell like hotcakes cause realistically, people will buy NV anyways
they have been moving at a historically low rate past year, the hardware refresh/price reduction may have helped but I haven't seen numbers
I remember a talk about Jon Peddie Research before that we had here
They are unreliable
could be. I doubt they are selling much tho
they aren't for graphics
imma have the fastest windows copilot
Must be amazing
wise man!
I.. typically recommend Nvidia
I myself will continue buying AMD until Nvidia matches AMD's prices
But for anyone else I kinda just recommend Nvidia usually?
AMD has weird quirks and issues that you don't need to subject yourself to
I kinda like my GPU just crashing for no reason from time to time 
mine does that too
never had an AMD GPU that worked just fine with no issues, I won't be buying one again
atleast when i oc

is that horizon zero dawn
Palworld.
Amd's drivers only became good with RDNA2-3
RDNA1 was rough especially at launch
No contention there
I have an RDNA1 card to this day, yes, it was pretty damn bad at launch
Gimmick and nothing else
The thing that would run like shit on hardware not Nvidia's? 
Thank god it died
I personally haven't had much trouble with AMD, but that's might be just luck
i'd say it's equivalent comparing the issues i had on my last nvidia card 2080 to my 7900xtx
small things here and there nothing major
like a driver not installing correctly and needing to be ddued
Yeah I find it weird that people say they have issues, but me, and all my pals are fine.
Sometime it feels like I got the magic computer touch. These things only work when I poke them
My tablet for osu! is coming tmrw raaaah
Lol
Covid killed us all
We are in a simulation
I really can't believe we went from laughing at 2$ horse armor to people paying 2000$ for Counter-Strike skins(which used to be free to download and mod in)
To the point that now when a game drops 30$ for a pallete swap, a lot of people buy it and don't even blink an eye...
200k+*
Whales have single handedly destroyed value in the gaming market simply because they are willing to not only pay $30 for a simple recolour, but will purchase every single overpriced cosmetic on the market just to have a complete collection.
Whales who account for 1-2% of the games population account for 70% of its income (that includes sales of the game itself). Games therefore do their best to target these whales, which is tends to cause damage to the gameplay loop
your use of apostrophes to indicate plurals irritates me to no end
you must be american
but yes, meaningful points and correct
"whales" are the problem
but they come with exactly what the devs need to make the dev loop keep running
I am not sure why I was doing that. Feels like my brain just forgor basic grammar from time to time. I think sometimes I rewrite a sentence a few times to make it sound good, only to leave a minefield of grammatical errors
Also not american, am just dumb and mulitasking
Bruh
So happy I never got infected with that shit
I see so many people my age, but especially younger, who love buying that shit.
When I was a kid I played a lot of F2P Kroean games like WolfTeam, S4 League ect, and I started buying cosmetcis, I spent like 20$ on it - so I can't say I'm without blame, but then I just had it hit me
"I am exchanging real money for fake money"
And pretty much have never since
Man S4 League was cool
I can't move like that anymore 😛

Haha
Yeah I palyed in like 2008, seemed so cool at the time
Kinda like GunZ, but flashier and had more game modes
If "microtransctions" remained micro, like a dollar at most per skin set. I would've thought it woulda been fine (However I still yearn for the Halo 3 style earn the cosmetics via achieving something real system). But I play Destiny and find that purchasing an armour skin is $20 and you only get it for 1 class, not all three classes like you should expect.
Bungie thankfully still allows a lot of unique armour to be found in the wild instead of the store, and you can earn ingame currency to buy store armour (if you get lucky with rotation :^)), but it sucks seeing such fantastic armour sets somehow costing more then a fucking expansion
I remember the good ol days when you paid money for content
not just skins
not new appearances for your gear
but new gear
new locations
new adventures
you paid for more game
not...um
a simple modification you could have made to the game files if you wanted, given some time in blender
Like how Starcraft Brood war was 20$ Vs the 50$ of Starcraft and contained as long a campaign as the original? I do too
does anyone know how to get controller movement with the wooting in fortnite
ngl that game seems extremely boring to me
and the dev team isn't exactly raising hopes for me
For sexual expressions and excessive violence
Idk what sexual expression means other than fanservice
Idk what niche does Stellar Blade fill
You already have multiple Nier games, there's scarlet nexus I think?
And considering Stellar Blade iirc is launching on the same day as Dragon's Dogma 2 which also heavily focuses on combat
Bayonetto-Niero-similaro something action hack and slash
*Now with 300% more ass! *
Ngl, I still want to try it out though
DD2 has me mildly interested, seems that the combat will be amazing
But DD1's problem was the incredibly shallow open world
Nothing to see, not much to do
Also the grinding for levels was MMORPG levels of time consuming, with nowhere near as much to do
We'll see if Enigma will do Day 1 crack backflip 
Something something they ditched Denuvo in favour of their own DRM 
It's been quite a while since I purchased a game, I wonder if DD2 will be a purchase
I only buy games that are frankly incredible time sinks, mostly sandboxes
A lot of games from Capcom is like that
I sinked 600h or so in both Monster Hunter World and Rise
Ah we are approaching 3000 hours
I just like games that never get boring
If a game gets boring after like 10-20 hours, why would I buy it 
Unironically Arma 4 will be a day 1 purchase, prolly a preorder lol
weird vex take of the day
Ok, how much does it cost?
10-20$? I would buy it if it's a sandboxy time of game and I can get a good kick out of it once in a while
60$+ games nowadays are very rarely worth their money
This year I still think Palworld was best bang for buck
50 hours already for €30? 
damn, I need to step up my hour game
dont buy at release.
Best bang for the buck this year minecraft fr !
buy at sale if you want more h/€
There is one game rn that's kind of intriguing but idk if I want to buy it, Helldivers 2
It looks fun as shit, sadly most fun I imagine will be with coop
Minecraft always been best bang for buck, bought for like 5 bux back in around 2011-12 😄 spent far too many hours whacking dirt
Just me or anyone else get that 1 time a year for 2 weeks they just wanna play minecraft?
Already did that a few years back lol
MC is like a yearly 1-2 week journey
Nah, it's normal 
I am looking into my Skyrim playthrough again 
The game honestly looks so good with shaders
Another yearly 1-2 week adventure
see that random youtube minecraft vid... fuck now i want to play again
If MC is not ultramodded, it's not interesting
MC for me is all about adventure and sometimes tech modpacks
I agree to disagree
I think vanilla is fun
To the point
But then after
You need more
I love tech modpacks
But there's something about vanilla, that takes you back...
There's something about vanilla that makes me bored after an hour lol
Ikr
There's just nothing to do in vanilla
Well I guess that's where we differ
True
Cause I don't have any interest in building
I always play with 1 mod tho.
Chizzle mod or wtv
You can chisel blocks out and make cool houses arches n stuff
I just slap Sodium and I'm good to go 
Anyways my latest playthrough was with ATM9 modpack
Insane amount of content
Though explored most dimensions, found most things to loot, kinda was left just with quests and tech progression and got bored
thats the problem with most mod packs.. its either insanely hard, or boring
Well it was a few week playthrough and fun while it lasted
Whereas vanilla at maximum gives me 3 hours before I lose any interest
vanilla is too tedious indeed.
Utilize the power of beacons and good rnchants.
beacons 
ive never built a beacon
before getting there.. that required a lot of work.


bruh
my man was working for a company making a "fitness metaverse on the blockchain" and then complained about management being shortsighted
Glass house
ahhah meanwhile various times when wootmc was a thing I would just build in creative instead of actually playing 
WootMC needs to be brought back even if for a week or two 

I agree. I think the thing about vanilla is that progression is always the same, so once you beat the game once its stupid easy to beat it again. for this very reason, my friends had an SMP for 3 days while still getting netherite and beating the dragon.
also even though you can explore, minecraft exploring is so boring
Yeah it's super old game these fays
and if you're good at building, then thats fun... until you try to build something cool and get bored
minecraft is not a good solo game imo
its only playable with friends
too bad java's multiplayer sucks
How?
you need a server to do multiplayer
You can join someone's game
Yeah and you can use one of many VPN tools to to lan mp over the Internet
But p2p is terrible for mc
Hamachi 
yeah but everyone needs to set that up which could be a hassle
true gamers use essential mod
or host a dedicated server
yea
actually personally I havent had any issues with essential mod, it always runs pretty smooth
probably the best way to play MC with a few friends without setting up a server
Sure enough, it's way better with a server
I still keep my LXC container with MC server in case me and my friends want to play 
But I haven't use essential mod, so I dunno if it's better or not
Yeah I just spin up a docker on my home server
Idk if any game with capture mcs wonder
Like I remember doing 1.0 for the first time
essential is fs worse, it performs fine but a server will always be better. essential allows you to join your friend's world while they're on it, so it requires someone to be online for others to join.
but like I said for a smaller group thats online at similar times essential is super easy
its fine for playing together, but yeah not as good as a server
what it really shines in is quickly testing out modpacks with friends
that way you dont need to change everything serverside
everyone just boots up the modpack and joins someone
LOL, thanks GRIP
wtf how did it know
:P
But does it Grip?

#HonkaiStarRail #Penacony #Firefly #Robin
inappropriate use of the word banger
Ew, Star Rail 🤢
it's not even a jammer or a slapper on account of the whole being a piano ballad thing
enjoyable song either way I suppose
Mihoyo's marketing is amazing that they manage to make people care for stuff like this
When the game is just not good by any means lol
care for good music?
That doesn't even sound that good
it's as enjoyable as anything else
Typical anime OST is more enjoyable
imagine anime being enjoyable
You prolly don't watch much anime then 
It used to be 
Now we have fuckton of all sorts of (isekai, fantasy world, op protagonist)
99% of anime is really really terribly bad which is why I don't watch any at this point
once every 4 years when there's a really good series I'll tune in and then tune out again
The past few seasons of anime though had some real great anime series air
Like even right now there's some great series airing
Fantasy used to be rarer and better executed too
The genre just matured
Or streamlined 
I love the recent streak of chill isekai/fantasy stuff
I think the last anime I watched was the whatever new season of made in abyss
that unfortunately came nowhere close to the first one
Campfire cooking, farming life and for the most part Fireren
Made in Abyss is just a weird publication in general
Frieren is an outlier to be fair
I don't quite get the appeal of it
And even though it started super sad. Weakest tamer is pretty chill
I actually liked Frieren quite a bit at the start
It kinda became monotonous during second half
(when you don't know the name of any anime to come out in the last few years) 
Manga is a good read though
Yeah, I read manga, haven't watched it 
I can't believe that Keiichiro's two animes are Bocchi and Fireren
just waiting for mushoku tensei 2 part 2 coming
Eh that's not super chill though
imo the best isekai currently
Yeah but it's not chill lol
i think it is
It's serious with its themes, that's why some people think it's good
It has a lot of story behind everything and is very serious
The themes are pretty mature, well written story
I watched Anime at some point but kind of stopped 10 years or so ago, have watched some random things inbetween but not much. probably 5 in the last 10 years or so.
With what's airing nowadays, it's a top tier isekai tbf
I wouldn't say it's the best though
if we talk all time best anime in general well i have a pick
FotNS is the best
Onlt LN for Re:Zero, it's so much better 
All of the modern over the top protagonist fighters owe their allegiance to ut
Overall though, I'd say it's Re:Zero, Ascendance of a Bookworm and Mushoku Tensei as best isekais out there
Bookworm is VASTLY underrated, a very underground series that's incredibly well written and animated
to re:zero i have to say: i love emily so i cant watch it
Glad it's getting a 4th season
i agree in general with the list
It's getting 4th season?! 👀
ye
Yis
Bookwork?
The bookworm's anime series is finally out of the prologue into the meat of the story 
Oh bookworm
totally didnt drag on for ages
Yeah its really good
I can't believe how long it took to get an announcement for another season
It's not that popular for whatever reason
Guess this channel is anime talk now
i think mainly cause it doesnt have the same fighting and conflict that re:zero and muushoku have
It's just a very comfy but sometimes relatively serious slice of life isekai series
the anime for bookworm is just super slow paced compared to the other 2
Mostly because it was overshadowed by Boku No Hero and Nanatsu no Taizai during first season 
I think bookworms recentish popularity is from memes
I got into it from the Vader meme
tbf nanatsu no taizai isnt doing too great with its current follow up anime either
where's the romance fans smh
Dress up doll made every a romance fan lol
toradora and kanon would qualify yes
The manga is getting blasted though
not my favourites though
Sporadic release schedule, usually a nothingburger
Loads are though
tbf i like the VN from kanon more
Campfire cooking is like that
But dress up doll was a massive sleeper hit
does your name qualify as romance anime?
I'm still salty about kimi no na wa, light novel was so much better...
Koe no Katachi though - 10/10 
Crazy how nutz 2022 was for clover
does the english ghost stories dub count as romance?
I would go into the tens of series I usually read that are romance/slice of life, but I'd prefer not to come out as a major otaku
higurashi was a good slice of life anime imo
Yeah... "slice"...
exactly
Well their lives do get sliced
Anyone else think undead murder farce ended weak?
wonder if we need a dedicated anime channel
Or just media
Weeb contment channel
Content or containment? 
can we confine anime pfp users to that room as well?
Anyways, I think it's mandatory to mention Apothecary Diaries as a current hit series
Like, it's a must watch

Oh, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, yes, I already have 9 volumes, but haven't read them yet
i have 6 volumes, 4 LNs and 3 more manga volumes on order for eminence in shadow
might even get the BD box set
Good first season, second took a major quality hit
I have no clue what they thought they were doing with the second season
Felt really rushed
yeah i am unsure either but i hope s3 might be better
I'm not buying any more books until I get another Kallax 
if not ill have to give up on the anime
Oh yeah, 86 has some more novels I haven't read
Idk what's up with me but my attention span and borderline ADHD doesn't allow me to focus on reading novels
86 is pretty damn good military doom fantasy, very solid writing, but exhibits heavy symptoms of plot armor
Classroom of the Elite I wish I could read but I just can't be bothered with novels anymore
I just wish EN books, manga and light novels would be cheaper to get around here 
There's so much LNs I'd love to read, but they aren't available here or are prohibitively expensive
There's a bunch of EPUB plugins and websites for novel translations
Kinda piracy I suppose?
Idk it's been a few years since I read any novels, just have a hard time focusing on them
Yeah, I'm aware of certain ~110GB torrent 
Of a what
Light novels 
Why'd you download a massive collection of everything lol
I'm way too selective to read everything
It's more of a pick'n'choose one, there's a lot of official translations of LNs in there, but there's no problem of getting 1 or 2 volumes from there given how it's structured
And nicely works with Calibre too
But I'd have to get an e-book reader again, since my last one has been yoinked by my parents 
i really do like the feel of a physical book but man ever since i got an ereader, it just makes reading a lot more convinient haha
Problem is that after 30 or so minutes after reading on my phone my eyes start to hurt like hell
Ideally I prefer paper, but I'm ok with e-readers too
Yeah I really want to get a color eink one day
i have an old sony reader that refuses to charge
it doesn't disturb sleep?
i have the same problem with reading on phones
Personally have never had problems reading from a screen, providing the level of light in the room balances the screen and what I read does not use a dark theme.
But I can undetstand e-readers being more comfortable.
I will say that I prefer something larger than my phone though.
Yeah, it's more of a size issue
But I won't be sitting with my monitor in an armchair 
I just won't leave my desk most of the time.
color ereaders are coming and are available now already I guess, but yeah, I think physical is always preferable.
even with lights on, I think reading physical disturbs sleep less than ereaders, but not sure
Nah, I have to either lie down or sit somewhere comfortable
After 8 hours of work, both my back and my legs are killing me 
The problem for sleep is often not the screen, but rather the other things that screen will show you.
My chair is comfortable, I can sit there for a long time, besides I do stand up and move around at least a few times an hour.
i did try a color ereader a bit, the pocketbook inkpad color 3, personally i prefer a black and white only ereader because i found the text to be sharper, and i usually just read books with almost no drawings anyways
To be fair I would have an e-reader if it were not for the fact that I don't read books, hated it in high-school never got to learn to like it and never started.
thats fair, i used to read a lot when i was younger then quit, recently came back to it again
good to know, then black and white is probably the one to get still
for me yes i will stick to black and white for now. but i am excited to see the upcoming color ereaders
but you almost like need to read before sleep, because you can't really go from some monitor to sleep right away, need time to like relax eyes
I do read wikipedia articles before going to bed often enough though. But those don't seem the most suitable for e-readers.
there are some android based ereaders, mine has a web browser but its not the best experience. but yeah performance wise its not close to a computer with an lcd screen for example
Again with monitor to sleep it's not the monitor that's the problem it's what you are doing on it.
Talking on discord before sleeping is terrible but reading something boring, or just watching / reading porn works just fine.
oh yeah i wouldn't use discord in bed lol. just relaxing activities like reading and such
nah I think still some oled monitor is worse no matter what you do, and night mode doesn't help that much, and also annoying to read with some night mode.
personally im more affected by eye strain than sleep issues, but i guess it depends on the person
This is me speaking as someone who has had trouble falling asleep all his life.
The important thing is having a good wind-down, not trying to sleep too soon. Actual screen use, light themes, night modes don't matter as much.
For me it's shutdown my pc > do some exercise a bit > brush my teeth > shower > go to bed > read something / watch a tv-show / porn / play something non-intensive like Pokémon or similar level of intensity and go to sleep.
This whole process takes roughly 1 - 2 hours.
Eye-strain has never been a major concern for me, unless I read a lot on a dark theme, I don't understand how people can handle that.
I also make sure whenever I use a screen the lights in that room are on.
Oh yeah, if you're sitting at your PC with lights off at night* you're a masochist 
Even just a phone
Yeah, that too
I understand people having partners and such it's kind of the only option but it should generally be avoided
color readers don't even have that good colors yet I think either, so no point getting it now
FlatOut for free on GOG https://www.gog.com/pl/game/flatout 
Of course GoG free means getting spam mails, which nowadays neatly land into my spamfolder.
I wonder has GoG generally helped it's spam reputation down the drain or is it just Gmail learning from me flagging it that I find those mails to be spam?
I dunno, I haven't flagged any of those e-mails, and while promo offers I get as usual, 2FA mails are automatically ending up in spam, I dunno why 
GoG went HARD on spamming discount codes recently.
Got so tired of them I unsubbed.
It was daily, and random games.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind if they'd sent you a mail once in a while with a discount for a game you have on wishlist, or with some bigger release, like Steam does
The problem is every time you accept a free game it resubscribes you.
and yea it keeps spamming.
Looks like I'm getting discount code from them exactly once a week
General advice, which I personally follow, if a mail is unwanted report as spam as these mails are just that spam.
even if you signed for it by accepting a free game, they are still unwanted mails.
Eh, I'm fine with them tbh, Thunderbird automatically yoinks them in to their own folder, and sometimes there's some cool discount
Oh wait thinking about it, it may not be gmail recognizing it as spam but just thunderbird.
youre getting wygasa za 24
thunderbirds spam filter also doesn't seem to like 2fa codes and the like.
Eye-strain has never been a major concern for me, unless I read a lot on a dark theme,
nah I didn't really mean "relax eyes" this way, just the general wind down way.
but it still like matters how well you sleep even if you're not like fully aware of it, if you use like oled monitors before sleep.
of course matters less if you have just good activity balance throughout day and don't procrastinate, or have no goals, also often end up not getting tired enough to fall asleep/sleep long, not wake up too early.
but for most people tho, that don't even read that much, it's just better to read physical books overall, also more motivating to read physical books. but also should get multiple books, because you will lose interest in a book fast, or just need some variation.
Now port to PC
That's still a very respectable playercount
Damn so many online players
Nobody asked
im 1 of those rn
nobody didnt ask either
well obviously not, how many hours can you get out of an early access game at any rate
30 hours and you've seen it all, which is a few days for most who get really sucked into it
Yes just press the create content button
I guess even they haven't expected how much the game blows up 
Would be cool if they came out with new content
Which is exactly what they will do?
... also known as the buy button in the UE Marketplace
They gave a roadmap with content additions
As long as it's fun I don't give a f if assets are from marketplace 
Not too sure why that's shunned
The game's not an asset flip and some genuine thought was put into it
Mostly due to asset flips
it has a ton of asset flipping
That's not what that phrase means
Palworld is literally not an asset flip lol
I don't care if they outsource, make the models in house or just buy em off some store
yeah i'm sure it'll fill up with content over time
but this is exactly the reason I don't care and don't want to play EA games if I can avoid it
they are too quickly played through and then I'm burned out on the game when new content actually does drop
Different kind of mods
Seems the current one is just config edits
No official support for content additions
Soon sons of the forest release
There's no chance they fixed sons of the forest enough for a 1.0 release
can't wait for when you and I play Dying Light because we are so taking the scenic route
that's on my to do list
It is getting a bit silly
obviously
DL2 was going to be so good under Chris Avellone, and I have 0 respect to what the end product ended up to be
Karma for ditching Avellone, as always
go bang
Feb 6th.. seems that it's yet to air publicly

...is it?
I can't find anything to like about VR
I might actually be hella excited
I'm.. sorry.. what
Micro-OLED..?
That resolution is insane
At just 1299$ this thing's a bargain 
is this valve prism the deckard rumor? im kinda out of the loop
Yeah this is basically Deckard
awesome
Keep in mind, it's fake
Although I have no idea what you would run with 16 iGPU CUs at maximum 35W on double-4K ultrawide per eye
Minecraft would prolly struggle
I'm gonna cry
oh its fake lol, i got my hopes up a bit
for the price it looked almost too good to be true
Yeah for those specs the price is unreasonably cheap
Valve Index's specs were quite mediocre compared to competition while they were charging 999$+
I guess base stations are valuable idk how much those cost to manufacture
1299$ is way too little, this is like a 2000$+ device with those specs

lol
for sure, would be close to charity work with such specifications
That does sound like a Valve bonus
it reminds me of the steam deck exclusive on the 1tb model, seems this site is heavily inspired lol
yeah well made site
I hope the switch dies out
just switch it off
That's a pretty forlorn hope
Damn Silksong was announced 5 years ago
To my knowledge Silksong is yet to have a release date right
Looks like every other Lara Croft
Yeah
Decidedly less triangular
Those games never interested me
I mean... she's no Angelina 
Angelina ain't Angelina no more either
I tought the whole Lara game was just her being a mid indian jones game
Pretty much
Isn’t she just a tomb robber or something
Yeah basically genderswapped Indy, except british.
Also leans slightly harder into "magic"
Ancient technology magic 
What
Today, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered 
Is the game her robbing a tomb in each game?

It's pretty good

Truly the worst timeline
@still spire did you see what happenned in the helldivers server
No, not part of it
moderator be like tags @ everyone saying not to say F because server went down
tagging 60k people
lol
Discord mod, what a surprise.
and closed the helldivers 2 server momentarily
Well he'll be replaced, weird situation for sure.
Arrowhead is abit up their own asses, people keep sucking them off on reddit and forums.
Everything wrong with the game is instantly forgiven for them being small indie devs
See, this is what happens when you suck off devs too hard, they get high on themselves
Becuase that'd be a hate crime
Helldivers 2 is really missing one essential feature though.: https://i.redd.it/n39mad64ukic1.gif
For those who are still interested in the fate of OpenLara and my other projects, they are on hold. For the past year I've been busy with a dream project that has become the culmination of the last 8 years of my life - Tomb Raider I-III Remastered. (1/4)
fine i'll awtch one helldivers thing
Good
ok, looks silly

VERY. It's basically a parody of Starship Troopers.
#steam #steamgames
Game link
https://store.steampowered.com/app/553850/HELLDIVERS_2/
And Starship Troopers is a parody of Starship Troopers
heh
Oh yeah totally. Starship Troopers was basically a very, VERY hamfisted parody of Fascism, and how the common man could easily be lured in by its ideals and become a diehard supporter.
Well I meant Starship Troopers was a parody of the book
The book was 100% serious in it's views
Not parody at all
The director thought it was hilarious though and made it a parody
I genuinely did not know it was based on a book.
It actually upset the author
Yeah
The author supported fascism though so fuck em. :p

Famously called Kennedy a pussy for not wanting to escalate to Nuclear war with Russia.
At least we got a good movie outta it and some games now
Wow they did indeed drop a lot but they are still really high player count wise
It's like any other single player style game.
It isn't designed to keep you playing again and again.
Mhmm
i dont get the "outrage" either
For example https://dotesports.com/palworld/news/why-is-palworld-losing-players
It's a nothingburger, might as well be generated by AI
But oh boy, does it get clicks
is it literally just 4 paragraphs worth of text
Uhh, if Kingdom Come 2 is among them then I'm boycotting this shite conglomerate
AAA exploding just after they made all those purchases and the industry was starting with a downwards trend again
obv sucks for the people working there
im gonna say it
if a "AAA" dev puts out a absolut shit game, i hope the studio goes under
AAA just relates to budget
looks like its bad budgeting
bloated industry
half of aaa companies forgot that games should be fun
not mtx storefronts
Moneymoneymoney
Paywall : TLDR; Streamer banned on suspicion of gold selling.
Not news.
How are you going to boycott them, by not buying the canceled game? 
By not playing any of their studios' games
They cancelled the sequel?
I fuckin hope not
KCD was great
Kingdom Come 2 was very much in late stages of development
If Embracer axes that they can fuck themselves
Given they have axed anything interesting they had left idk if they have anything left that’s worth boycotting lol
If warhorse is part of this last hit

one of the better things that could have been released lately
Commercial Chaos is one of the best things on YT 
it's weird how uncommon streamers that only read chat once in a while are
Apparently Nintendo Direct was delayed for this
I wonder if they'll talk about the handheld
There's been talk about an Xbox handheld
Have not listened to soundtrack, wouldn't say the band is my favorite but they made some good albums
kinda not surprising
Can anyone help me with my wooting keyboard on Fortnite ?
Man I just want a Halo game like what Bungie used to make. 343 tries so hard to make something that only ever goes half the distance
halo died with halo 1
Wild take
I know many things are the subject of taste, but you are objectively wrong Eso
Nah
You're just wrong and ready to die on a molehill to defend it
defend it all you like
You haven't even launched an attack, you're just stuck at a speed bump
Not a single person here is defending Halo infinite bro
I am
I enjoy infinite
343 made halo and bungie took over and made worse halo
The gameplay is on point for MP
Eso clearly doesn't even know the difference between 1 and infinity
halo 1 was bad and infinite is worse
halo 3 goat
Halo 3 tho 
Infinite just didn't ship with any content it the issue for its multiplayer. I heard they fixed that recently, but first impressions
They did fix it
But people are all gone except me and a few loyal players
Halo 1 was bad
Now we know this man be trolling
🥲
Honestly my favourite Halo multiplayer was 5s thanks to how fast it was, however I thought the campaign was absolute dogwater
Halo 5 was still a console game, but took advantage of improved tech to speed things up quite a bit
Halo 1 revolutionised the console FPS genre. prior to that the absolute peak was Golden Eye, but Halo rendered it completely obsolete
I vagualy recall my brother playing a remake of that which used the old control scheme, and it really wasn't as advanced at Halos
nothings better then sly cooper
Did Time Splitters have regenerative shields? That was a big Halo innovation on the account it meant you could spend a lot less time hunting down Health packs
midlo
Halo 3 was also amazing with custom games, despite how limited forge was back then players came up with a lot of clever mechanics by jamming pieces together. Like Zombie escape rooms where a super slow zombie would be chasing an entire lobby as they sprinted to escape a facility with a lot of obstacles
I hate Halo.
any tekken gamers have any layout or setup ideas?
besides cheating with dks kbd lol
wadup killas
as
LOL. It was fine 20+ years ago but it's aged terribly
never been good
I said 'fine'
mid to bad
It's still great
I replayed the og collection so many times
First game I played on my deck 
Weapons aren't great, story is rehashed scifi cliches and the level designs are absolutely terrible in most of the entries
Master Chief is a really overrated protagonist too
the only cool thing about halo is that one sword
its console copers darling because it was the first half decent fps franchise on the platform type
At least Duke's cliche one liners are satirical
and ruined pc fps for decades with crappy ports 
Agreed
deso you look like jeremy clarkson
When did you play it?
Here comes the halo defender
Eso just mad because Halo beat COD
I don’t play cod I game Minecraft
That explains eso
I know I’m cool and my opinion matters more
