I think I have not used any for the last few years.

[maiden tulip]

Greenmangaming is legit

I like the xp rewards

[tough jay]

there are other stores as well you can track

GMG in the past was somewhat annoying at times as they also offered games you just had to download from there, but that is mostly a long time ago.

Have not bought anything from there is quite some time though

[still spire]

XP Rewards no longer exist

[maiden tulip]

They still do

What are you on about

That's how i got HD2 for 19% off

Lol

[still spire]

What I MEAN is

They suck

Compared to what they used to be

XP never goes away now

So they lowered the rewards massively

[tough jay]

Oh actually bought something januari 2023

Actually thought it was a long time ago

[still spire]

You used to get like 34% off coupon codes and an additional 5% off XP codes. But then they made XP level permanent and reduced the couopon codes to like 19-22% and the 5% codes became 1-2%.

So it's kinda lame now 😛

[tough jay]

How good was it in the past? I never payed attention to it, seems I am silver level somewhat close to gold

[still spire]

As I mentioned, it was pretty good, usually matched a lot of grey markets or close enough that it didn't matter

But I absolutely am in stitches when they give me a 1% off coupon XP code

Like...lmao what

It's also not like 19% off + 19 = 20% off, it's 1% off of the already reduced by 19% price

So it usually comes out to a 3 cents or something

[tough jay]

Seems I got this:

seems like the type of deals that are fine if I wanted to buy the game in the first place but nothing to buy something I otherwise wouldn't

There's a tip people are using to get in, apparently if a friend is playing and you right click - Join game on them via Steam you can bypass the queue

[orchid prism]

Their steam integration is so borked. I read that it shows you online ingame, even if your steam is specifically set to offline?

[fringe salmon]

That is on steams end if that is possible

[still spire]

Yes

[fringe salmon]

Offline means it should cut your steam connection and the dev APIs only get the reported status

[still spire]

Which is annoying as at work I set myself offline cause mobile hotspot latency is bad, didn't want people to join in cause of that

And yet had a friend join and awkwardly explaining :p

No solo mode

[hardy merlin]

Not if they check online status through their servers and not Steam API

[fringe salmon]

Huh yeah I guess but that sounds cursed to implement compared to the pre existing sdk options

Oh I guess for crosplay it might make sense

[tough jay]

Having people skip the queue by playing with friends that are already in doesn't sound terrible.

[still spire]

Just wait till you look at eBay and see people selling their friend list so people can join on them and actually play the game

I hope it works this weekend, because the last two weekends my cousin hasn't been able to play the game he paid for, and he can only play on weekends

[hardy merlin]

[still spire]

I know

[feral ferry]

What is this

[still spire]

https://tenor.com/view/twist-m-night-shamalan-what-gif-6054790

[hardy merlin]

I had no idea that M. Night Shyamalan has directed Mario vs. Donkey Kong, truly one of the directors of all time

[still spire]

Mm

[feral ferry]

Oh the shamalamalam thing is a person?

I was wondering wtf are you people sharing

[young crow]

the absolute lack of recoil in robocop rogue city is so funny for some reason

[feral ferry]

You're robocop, why'd there be recoil

[orchid prism]

Hollywood rules.

Just like how cars explode at the top of a hat 😄

If a 45 Magnum doesn't have recoil, it'll appear less powerful.

[still spire]

I mean

RoboCop feels more powerful because the lack of it

https://tenor.com/view/robocop-gif-19232889

[orchid prism]

I disagree.

[still spire]

I mean he has automatic recoil compensation built in, it's why he can fire full auto and still hit from 10m sway

[orchid prism]

You're completely missing the point I made. It's for the viewer.

Big gun have big recoil. That's ingrained.

[still spire]

[trim rock]

Game game

[fading spade]

I love Game Game!

[deft bloom]

shadow of the erdtree waiting room

[novel umbra]

E!

[still spire]

lol

[still spire]

For fucks sake

The crashing at extract is so fucking old I can't even

I WAS ABOUT TO FINALLY beat Suicide 3/3

And bam

Fucking game

3 super samples too

[novel umbra]

no wonder your game crashes at that render resolution

[still spire]

What? lol

Nah it's a common bug with the game, but it's obnoxious as hell

On extract too, nowhere else

Just extracton

[novel umbra]

I was just commenting the "super samples"

[still spire]

Ah

[hot spire]

Its not big for robo cop though

[orchid prism]

My brother in Christ I have not watched robocop since it came out.
I am merely pointing out how hollywood tropes and laws of physics work.

[still spire]

lol

That is weird, why haven't you

Mansen is clearly a nutter.

[hot spire]

RoboCop is like a 500 plus pound behemoth

[orchid prism]

It's meh.

[still spire]

https://tenor.com/view/robocop-dance-confused-what-huh-gif-7726490

[orchid prism]

Myes. And if you take an artillery piece and remove the oomph of firing, it is going to seem weak.

[hot spire]

He can throw people with one hand easily

[orchid prism]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-movie-set-gif-10559628

[hot spire]

But that's what you're missing it's not an artillery piece to RoboCop, it's only an artillery piece to you

His wife has no recoil for him

If you gave him a giant ass anti-tank rifle it would probably have recoil

[orchid prism]

But enjoy the debate on whether or not a cyborg cop obeys hollywoord physics or not.

[hot spire]

I mean it's not even Hollywood physics it's real physics

If you give a kid a 9 mm it's going to have a lot of recoil. But the average adult has almost none.

[vapid lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/gun-gif-24997888

[hot spire]

You going to remember RoboCop literally picks up the entire front end of a car single-handedly

Meaning he is several times stronger than the strongest human

[orchid prism]

Yes - Which famously aren't used in Hollywood. Hence the term... Hollywood Physics.

https://tenor.com/view/car-explosion-tokyo-drift-boom-gif-16414151

[hot spire]

Also his sidearm is only a 9mm

And all you get in the game is up to a 50ae

So nothing crazy

50ae is barely mid range when it comes to recoil. The gas operated nature and the weight of a de makes it actually easier to to shoot than most magnum revolvers

[feral ferry]

Countdown to a countdown

It's a fuckin 3 minute trailer lol not an hour long show

[vital wyvern]

releases on the 26th of the 43rd of course

[willow quiver]

Hey is the new Wooting He goona be better then the old one

[still spire]

No, worse actually

[pure bear]

i heard it smells like rancid eggs

[fringe salmon]

I mean they might release it today so half the helldivers server spots get freed up

[pure bear]

i guess the release speculation is because they have been stalking steamDB

[proper basin]

holy epic mickey?

thats so cool

[still spire]

It's coming out June 21st, my birthday

Sweet gift

[fringe salmon]

Oh no

[fringe salmon]

Doesn’t surprise me too much

Given they only made one dlc unlike for the souls games

So I expect this to be bigger than one of those

[still spire]

I mean it's probably long

But still

Only 20$ cheaper than the full game itself

[fringe salmon]

Yeah we’ll see if it’s worth it or not for the price

I got it and won’t be sad just might say it’s others might want to wait for sales

We’ll time to put vacation day there xD

[still spire]

It's my birthday, never do take time off, but it is quite the timing

I myself will wait and see for sales, maybe see how much that CE is

Well the originals exist on PC, and the remaster seems to just be a res boost

Collectors edition for a dlc is a bit odd but I hope it’s because it’s that much content

A meme I bet only Lana would get.

[maiden tulip]

minecraft

[feral ferry]

And my wife apparently

Damn geeks

[barren pewter]

...and myself

💀

mending is so good

[feral ferry]

I bet 200$ you don't get the meme

[maiden tulip]

nico is a minecraft expert

I'll go ask him

[barren pewter]

you may as well hand it over now
I've spent way too long fishing

correction: I've spent a quarter hour making afk fishing devices that churn out food and other crap

[orchid prism]

It's a minecraft meme of course. But it is a very specific reference to a specific content creator's experiences on a certain SMP.

[feral ferry]

That's what my wife spent 2 mins explaining

To my rather deaf ears cause I don't care much

[barren pewter]

oh
no one gives a shit about minecraft youtubers

I just play minecraft for fun

[feral ferry]

8000 fuckin fishes and no mending books

That's quite insane

[barren pewter]

that is extremely bad luck

[feral ferry]

Dunno why would anyone go fishing when you can just get a villager instead

The old boring method

[orchid prism]

It started as a joke and turned into a statement and a quest, a journey

[feral ferry]

Nothing good happens when you want for it to happen

Or don't pee against the wind

If you expect the mending book, it sure ain't coming

[orchid prism]

Also a good way to find bugs 😄

[bleak pike]

You can get mending extremely easily It's funny.

[orchid prism]

Yes. Villagers. We know.

Not relevant.

[feral ferry]

Showed this to waifu, said it was some kind of client - server desync?

Prolly not a fault on Mojang's end, SMP runs scripts and stuff right

[small comet]

or you just use 9 fishing rods

[orchid prism]

Hermitcraft is about as vanilla as an SMP can get.

That's kind of the point. They do some optimization, but nothing that any MP server doesn't have. They don't add anything new if they can at all avoid it.

it shows well that its a movie for people that like the actors and action, not for borderlands fans xD

[bleak pike]

i mean ye, i still wanna watch it.

I have no doubt it will make money

[fringe salmon]

well I didnt expect much and this is about that I expected xd

so I hope people can have fun but I wont bother

[bleak pike]

Only part that made me chuckle ngl

But its because its Jack Black.... but why, i love him but why him for Claptrap

BL2 was best

[hardy merlin]

BL2 nailed it

BL3 was getting boring after a while

[bleak pike]

i to this day have not finished bl1

always got so far and bored....

BL2 i replayed many times, pre sequal once and Bl3 once.

[bleak pike]

It was pretty shit after the intro

imo

Story was meh the core game was a nice upgrade

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, gameplay was nice, but campaign was lacking, and a lot of jokes just felt dry and out of place...

I kinda liked first one though, it definitely has it's own personality and that different kind of vibe

fallout new vegas and 3
both have a default forward lock, steering with mouse

it's great

especially if you'd rather be mixing a G&T than holding W and walking through the wastes

[craggy steppe]

Is there any way to use wooting analog in r6?

[barren pewter]

there is, just by using an analog profile
I just wouldn't suggest it as it won't actually accept your controller as well as mouse and keyboard input at the same time
so you'd be able to move but not aim or shoot, for example

[maiden tulip]

yes

[still spire]

Xbox game, what a disservice .

[maiden tulip]

Split screen + full proper controller support as well

Gonna play the heck out of it on the steam deck

[bleak pike]

I wonder if it's coming to game pass

Nah

But tbh a newer version will also support newer mods maybe

[maiden tulip]

Most likely

Also will give the MP community a nice tevival

🙂

[bleak pike]

Tbh idc what anyone says, just the UI changes alone is enough for me.

And res

[maiden tulip]

The are servers but they're mostly dead due to the fact that the game is old and a pain in the ass to get running and most arent willing to put in the effort. Also having the ui be properly scaled at higher res like 1440p or 4k will be nice

[maiden tulip]

Same

Game looks awful on modern displays even after mods or file edits

[bleak pike]

Also steam deck verified already

Noice

[maiden tulip]

Yepp

[bleak pike]

The previous game was a mess on it

*version

[maiden tulip]

To me its entirely worth the money

Just the steam deck play on its own

Worth it

And when we do get it EA will fuck it up

Maybe because they're printing money

maybe because they are the only EA studio making money to begin with

They aren't touching any of that.

if unbound can be counted as one of their more successful games in recent years

[still spire]

give me like

good driving physics

imo gameplay of heat was really stupid

unbound was okay overall

was kinda weird how poor you were throughout the entire career tho

you could barely afford to keep like 3 cars

drift physics were entirely useless and uncontrollable (always were with that system)

making drift challenges close to impossible

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, I have really low standards towards NFS
The only thing I really don't like about Heat is that you have drift and throttle on the same trigger, which is so annoying
Otherwise it's a cool game, I like the premise of day/night races

As for Unbound I played only a while on my brother's PC, and yeah, driving physics turned me off...

Kinda bummer there's not really that much good arcade racing games on PC nowadays, Forza Horizon maybe

[novel umbra]

you could change that btw

was a setting

yes I know, really stupid

was the same for unbound as well

was especially stupid since some cars behaved wildly different in that regard

so every time you switched cars you had to relearn how tf drifting is timed/works

[hardy merlin]

It is? 👀 I couldn't find it in settings, will have to look again for it

[novel umbra]

yea it was

[novel umbra]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/1222680/discussions/0/3046108212598560132/

[hardy merlin]

Oh, ok, it's in Live Tuning in-game menu, not in settings menu, would explain why I couldn't find it

[novel umbra]

yea it is stupid

I mean you should change stuff in that live tuning menu anyways

it is really stupid since the ideal settings for each car are the exact same

[hardy merlin]

I'll take a look at it once I'm out of work

Thanks

[fiery zephyr]

I drift a lot in heat, daily. As well as in asseto and carx. Tho honestly I feel like it's very bad in heat

[feral ferry]

C-tier franchise

[feral ferry]

Huh

Lara looks hot af in the new model

That's just how females look anyways?

[orchid prism]

You're overestimating "gamers" ability to know what real females look like.

They've never seen one up close enough, without getting pepper sprayed

[hardy merlin]

[novel umbra]

I fail to see what their issue is

like in what way does that lara croft look "like a transgender woman"

[orchid prism]

She has a jawline. And muscle tone. Clearly a male

[hardy merlin]

First Lucia from GTA, now Lara
Just because they don't look like their OF subscriptions

[feral ferry]

Any woman that's been hitting the gym for a while looks like that lol

Hell Angelina looked like that during Lara Croft days

[orchid prism]

Was about to say. Angelina was a perfect match.

https://youtube.com/shorts/A5ufNgbPt6k
Something something women have jawlines. Croft is a treasure hunter, who does extreme freeclimbing constantly. She's not a feminine waif

[still spire]

Can you imagine tho if they made Laura trans in the reboot? I would just love them to do that to see the internet explode.

But not like make it a point of marketing, just have it revealed naturally in the game through subtext and clues.

[hardy merlin]

Looks feminine enough, works for me

[still spire]

That Nightengale Survival Builder b "Former Skyrim devs" looks so awful.

[novel umbra]

what

[orchid prism]

I honestly don't remember the last Tomb Raider I played. It was ... the first of the newer ones? That one that got so much outrage over Lara getting impaled on spikes in a very gory way during quicktime events or something?

[still spire]

lol yeah

[novel umbra]

ah

nightingale

[still spire]

I played that one and parts of the second one

Were honestly kinda boring

[fallow bronze]

that was a lara death simulator

[novel umbra]

yea idk looked kinda bad on reveal already

[fallow bronze]

so many ways

[orchid prism]

The previews I've watched definitely don't consider it anything unique enough. There's the "stargate" like system, but that doesn't really carry it.

[still spire]

I mean like graphically, animation wise, everything wise

it just looks bad

Like asset flips typically look better

[hardy merlin]

TR2013, yeah, there was this one frustrating QTE section
Game was good overall though

[orchid prism]

When I heard "steampunk ark with stargates" I definitely expected something different.

[still spire]

My big issue with TR2013 is charactization

VS Gameplay requirements

"Oh my god I had to kill someone in self defense" - Violently throws up, depressed, crying, an absolute wreck

has a nap and then kills over 400 people

[hardy merlin]

Oh, that

[novel umbra]

just like a modern wolfenstein

[still spire]

Like I get narrative dissosance and all that

[orchid prism]

That's just cognitive dissonance vs violent games in general.

[still spire]

But they just kinda make such a big deal of it

Only for her ot go murder happy it feels dumb lol

[novel umbra]

idk stuff like that only really works if you actually have a "peaceful" choice

hell, even eggwife has an option for that

[fallow bronze]

meh, thats just a minor detail

[novel umbra]

[still spire]

Like instantly she snaps necks and violently kills people, it 's just such a leap

Also people posting in the thread with 140 hours of playtime

Game has been out 14 days!

10 hours a day

Jesus

[novel umbra]

I prob would have more than an hour if I could just play the game

[hardy merlin]

I have 30 minutes, all spent on "servers at capacity" screen

[still spire]

Yeah people are saying that tweet by the CEO is pretty tonedeaf

[hardy merlin]

I still think that kicking people out after 15~30 min AFK would massively help
Mostly because players with PS5s in rest mode are clogging up a lot of available slots

[still spire]

I can't imagine, I got like 150 hours in Elden Ring over the course of like 5 weeks or something

[still spire]

They said it was coming two days ago, so we'll see.

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, waiting for that too

[fringe salmon]

Couldn’t do it for this game but did similar hours for others so if someone’s that big of a fan I can see it happening xD

[novel umbra]

yea same

[still spire]

Yeah this game is fun, but not 12 hours a day fun

Op, new patch dropped.

[hardy merlin]

I could play 10~12 hours a day... but for 3~4 days straight at most, not 10 or 12

I feel like the airdrop system is made horrible

just to appease controller players

[still spire]

lol, it actually goes back to Magicka

It's kind of their trademark

[novel umbra]

not quite?

[still spire]

Befoe they even had controller support

[nimble current]

its one of those games that's fun for an hour or two at a time for me, then break for something else

[hardy merlin]

[still spire]

That's a lot of crash fixes

Still no crash fix for extraction though

[fringe salmon]

Changing airdrop to arrow keys made it great for me to use

[nimble current]

anyone tried using macros for the stratogems?

or is that risk of ban

[still spire]

Two weeks and they still can't get their armor system to function lol

Like they had 8 years and it's launch and they go "Oh shit...armor doesnt' work!"

Ugh this one needs to be fixed right away

Killed me a few times

[fringe salmon]

Idk macros for airdrops seems boring so I wouldn’t even want to try them

Why...why what? Full sentences.

[sinful cobalt]

Warframe on mobile why ?

[orchid prism]

Because mobile is a massive market?

[fringe salmon]

to play it on mobile?

[novel umbra]

to finally convince people to turn off crossplay

[orchid prism]

If they can make an engaging and sensible way to play it on mobile, then I see that as an absolute win. Sorely need more "non-mobile" shit games 😄

[novel umbra]

being queued into a session hosted by a switch player is already a good reason to restart the game

[bleak pike]

Putting aside trust of op... I really dislike anti cheats flagging "oh you have software installed that's bad so we ban"

And its creepy how much information the anti cheat grabs

https://twitter.com/DestinyBulletn/status/1760542407886565853?t=QJdWjpQshSXegvDOCWeH7g&s=19

Destiny Bulletin (@DestinyBulletn) on X

Cruz, 4x World First champion has now been perma-banned from Destiny 2 after appeal.

Bungie has said a "memory editing/debugging software marketed as a cheat program was detected." Cruz says the program is purely for RTS games and cannot alter anything in Destiny 2.

Twitter · Feb 22, 2024, 5:49 AM

[fringe salmon]

Question is did he just have it installed or was it running

If it’s just installed yeah they shouldn’t have permission to find these things

[bleak pike]

And so many comments calling them out for cheating in older games in general or offline being bad.

[orchid prism]

He literally downloaded a trainer...for a singleplayer game.

Bungie wtf

[bleak pike]

Almost all anti cheats send file names/install paths.

[bleak pike]

Cheat engine afaik

[fringe salmon]

Yes but I’m saying if he was running it I’d not have an issue with the detection getting triggered

[orchid prism]

So?

[bleak pike]

Hard to say really, but regardless there have been cases of anti cheats flagging without running, I myself couldn't run vanguard because of virtual box lol

It kept telling me to uninstall it to play.

But regardless, it's a reminder of how invasive anti cheats are.

[orchid prism]

There's a big difference between being told to shut or uninstall something - and just banning someone based on something they have.

[bleak pike]

And tbh having chest engine open shouldn't warrant a ban.

Unless they attached to the process

[fallow bronze]

lol, that game can go shove itself then

[bleak pike]

But that becomes a whole other thing

[orchid prism]

They used Artmoney, which is similar to cheat engine. But again - Destiny and its DRM would have flagged an actual memory injection immediately.

This is just banning "because you owned a gun", not "you used the gun in this incident specifically"

[bleak pike]

Ye

It's fucked

If we believe op anyway.

Which tbh it's weird for such a high end player to cheat suddenly, especially on his main account.

[orchid prism]

That's the problem - Who does their anti cheat team answer to ultimately?

[fringe salmon]

Wouldn’t be the first high end player to cheat so that means little

[orchid prism]

Who watches the watchers - And are they in any way required to share things they find.

At any rate - I highly doubt they would be able to do anything meaningful with a simple memory editor like Cheat Engine in an online only game like Destiny.

Fiddling with any locally stored value, would immediately trigger a desync.

"Oh you have 999 of rare resource? That's not what the server says. Disconnect and flag"

Either way, it's shit regardless because it's a reminder of how invasive anti cheats are but also if true it's fucked up also what happened.

Just read Last Epoch is gender locked classes

@Palworld_EN As a huge fan of Pokemon and someone who has played my fair share of video games, I strongly support Nintendo in their potential legal action against the developers of Palworld.

In my opinion, what the developers have done is nothing short of blatant plagiarism. It is one…

[fringe salmon]

Noooooo not my sujimon

[minor kite]

I stand with the pokemon company in their thinly veiled request to stop emailing them about Palworld, they have better things to do than read the demands of whiny children.

[barren pewter]

I stand with the Pokémon company in their efforts to enforce their copyrights and take all Pokémon porn off the internet

[proper basin]

I stand with the Pokémon company in their efforts to make a true to life wailord plush that’s accurate to its Pokédex entry

[hot spire]

Nintendo is ridiculous famous for being litigious

If they had a case or cared it would of been gone ages ago

[orchid prism]

Palworld can afford lawyers to fend them off long enough to get a case dismissed

[still spire]

Palworld on its way to become the best selling Pokemon game of all time

[nimble current]

I stand with the Pokémon company in their continued tireless efforts to ruin their reputation with shitty low effort releases and rigorous anti-consumer practices

[drifting rose]

I thought tweets were supposed to be SHORT

The game still looks dated graphically. But they finally managed to pique my interest.

[feral ferry]

"Pre-purchase trailer"

Why does that sound funny

[orchid prism]

Gotta get those preorders in.

Pre-purchase guarantees citizenship into the Paradox empire.

I have zero expectations after the shitshows Paradox have done recently. But I'm sure it'll be on sale at some point, if the reviews aren't universally terrible.

[hot spire]

Doubt. Nintendo has zero debt, wads of cash on hand, and a legal team on payroll

[hot spire]

Sounds desperate

[hardy merlin]

[orchid prism]

It's not about having endless money.

It's about having enough money to get a case dismissed.

[hot spire]

In Japan it is

[orchid prism]

As opposed to having no money to defend yourself, having to take whatever deal you're given.

[pure bear]

japan has quite different copyright laws

I have first hand accounts from people who’ve received takedown notices from nintendo, they don’t sleep on that stuff.

[maiden tulip]

I just don't understand the comparaisons between pokemon and palworld

[minor kite]

The simple fact that they haven’t gone after Pocket Pair at this point is a clear indication that they can’t

[maiden tulip]

They're 2 different games

[bleak pike]

I mean

[maiden tulip]

Palworld is a survival game, pokemon is an RPG

[bleak pike]

I mean.....

[maiden tulip]

i play pokemon to play an rpg

[bleak pike]

I mean.......

[maiden tulip]

Not a survival game

[bleak pike]

I mean.........

[maiden tulip]

There's monsters and balls

But gameplay wise its nothing close lol

[bleak pike]

I mean...............

[minor kite]

Differences are there, but similarities are there too.

[hot spire]

Also Japan doesn't have the copyright/trademark weakening like us dose

But they have no fair use

[bleak pike]

It's Pokemon with guns and that's ok

[hot spire]

Which is why Nintendo will take down any game footage if they want to

[minor kite]

The fact of the matter is they have to be literally pokemon for nintendo to raise a stink.

[hot spire]

Also making Pokemon with guns is fine as long as there aren't any actual pokemon

The concept of Pokemon isn't copyright

[proper basin]

Mean i…….

[fringe salmon]

look I agree that nintendo isnt going to take action and shouldn't wouldn't win, but there is literally no other game where I go "oh this is looking like pokemon xyz"

like if you say it's just the same inspiration etc. for all of them you are delusional

[hot spire]

Yeah but that isn't illegal

Only the actual content is copyrighted. Not the concept

[minor kite]

Pokemon lifted half of their first gen designs from Dragon Quest and it wasn’t even a secret back then.

[fringe salmon]

yes I said as much but that's why there are comparisons to pokemon

[maiden tulip]

Pokemon isn't a survival game

[hot spire]

You could literally make a game with a electric mouse that follows you battling other monsters and be fine

[fringe salmon]

yeah and yet you can look at those and see "ah they both used 9 tailed fox as references" vs "ah this pal used pikachus look and not a mouse as references"

[hot spire]

Which is fine

Japan doesn't have the same derivative work system

As the us

[fringe salmon]

yes I said that, I am not saying it's not fine jfc

I'm just saying why people compare it to pokemon

[hot spire]

Why isn't it fine

[maiden tulip]

I dislike a lot of the pal's designs as a lot of em look generic af but there's a few that i think look nice

[fringe salmon]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I AM SAYING IT IS FINE

[maiden tulip]

It really feels like most were tossed in some random char generator

I find it silly

[minor kite]

Calling out Salazzle

[feral ferry]

Or, they will

Collecting a lot of documents for their case and they'll hit PocketPair eventually

After all in theory, since PocketPair's game is highly based on Pokemons likeness, you could insist that a lot of the sales belong to Nintendo at that point as licensing fees or someshit like that lol, so them selling so much gives Nintendo more reasons to sue for.. intellectual property infringement? Or something like that

[orchid prism]

I wish them a very early bankruptcy.

https://tenor.com/view/finnick-zootoropia-ciao-flm-gif-19588307

[feral ferry]

Whom?

Nintendo isn't getting bankrupt like, not this decade and prolly not the next

Extremely profitable, sells insane well

[orchid prism]

Of course not. Doesn't change my reaction.

[minor kite]

With the amount of projects I’ve seen them kill and with haste to boot, they’re not going to unless Pocketpair releases something new that the can go after.

If they’re leaving Nexomon and Temtem alone, Palworld is in the same camp.

A modder made a pokemon mod for palworld the weekend the game came out and he got nailed by Nintendo hardly days later.

@barren pewter On topic of FO4 mods

[minor kite]

Never has Nintendo had to make a statement regarding action they intend to take.

[feral ferry]

The ultra modpack that I was using had a really peculiar mod

I don't recall the name, but it's basically "alternate main quest paths"

What if.. you don't want to help Preston Garvey

Or you don't want to side with the android dood

That mod literally adds ways to be evil and still do main quest lol

I was pretty into it since that's quite rare, to add in a new branch to main quest

Usually mods just do their own original side content, not that one

[barren pewter]

you never have to

[feral ferry]

Well like, you don't even want to meet the little shit

[barren pewter]

you can trigger "Jewel of the Commonwealth" by simply reaching Diamond City

[feral ferry]

Think that mod had options to kill him off too

Cause they invented a storyline how Garvey was actually evil

[barren pewter]

iirc, you can also trigger Unlikely Valentine by meeting Nick in Park Street Station

[feral ferry]

So yeah there's this mod https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19835/

Ah I found it

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/35513

Is modded Minecraft a thing at all on Deck?

[fading spade]

xd

yes

Prism Launcher makes mod packs so easy to do

[feral ferry]

How does it run though

[fading spade]

One Click to make a new moddeed instance and another to pick a mod pack or search for individual mods

[feral ferry]

Cause the thing that's throwing me off with the Deck is that it's.. not that powerful tbf

[fading spade]

not sure! the only mods I use are fabric mods for Quality of Life shit

and I played Prehistoric Fauna mod too a few times and it ran great

[barren pewter]

that's not saying much

it was able to run on all but the most potato like hardware
a decade ago

[fading spade]

Deck is fine for minecraft, just use like 10 render distance or somethign and install Optifine too

Nah, Since the world expansion its been really hard to run vanilla Java MC

cause it has to render so much extra world height and depth

truth

[barren pewter]

I haven't updated since 1.7.10

[fading spade]

youll be fine then LOL

[barren pewter]

I needs my mods

[fading spade]

youll be fineeeee

[feral ferry]

Tbf Minecraft has been progressively harder to run with new updates

[fading spade]

1.7.10 is easy to run

[barren pewter]

ok, that's a lie
I've played some 1.12.x

[fading spade]

probably java technical debt :/

Until new updates came out, namely 1.0 and such

[drifting rose]

you know I had a feeling about that...

[minor kite]

I believe he bought the domain back from them.

Holy shit

Dafuq went on in Dirt 3
678% improvement

[fringe salmon]

damn

and people said gaming on linux just work if that much performance was still missing on some games

[fading spade]

I mean..it does work!

Xd just not as fast as it can be

[fringe salmon]

but also this neither compares it to windows numbesr nor does it show what sort of benchmarking was done here

4k? 720p?

[fading spade]

Yeah
I'd like to see it compared to windows

[feral ferry]

[hardy merlin]

Oh that
Yeah, improvements are huge... unless you're already using esync or futex_waitv, either of which is enabled by default in Proton
In such case improvements in fps are around 1~3%
But using NTSync in Windows apps specifically lowers CPU utilization a bit, so that's nice

https://flightlessmango.com/games/26979/logs/3576

Also it's native for Windows apps, so no more crashing when using esync

[fading spade]

Oh wait...
So this is useless in proton??

[hardy merlin]

Less bugs and better compatibility, because Windows apps see it as native, so still a nice improvement

[fading spade]

Ohh!

xddddd

yeah no saying gaming on linux is on par/better than windows is delusional there's still a lot of progress to be made

It is however usable enough to be your main os now when gaming (-the games that have bad anticheat)

@still spire creator was fine with his port of the dlc being used

Yeah

Still, it's nice to ask. 😛

tbh at least two of my friends have already reached lvl 50

some people just play a ton

[maiden tulip]

@still spire servers are working but not working

Can't join friends

But can join randos

[still spire]

Ah well, had some fun earelier

[still spire]

I know but that requires like 100+ hours in 2 weeks.

Just abit much

[novel umbra]

and servers trying their best to prevent people from experiencing it

[still spire]

lol

Comparing them to Larian is just...crazy

Several tiers above

[novel umbra]

yea idk

it seems like a fun game

but not a game where I would say that is absolutely worth your money if you have even remote interest in games whre you shoot stuff

unlike bg3

which is just a GREAT rpg

[still spire]

It is. But it's not some legendary game that in 20 years people will be talking about, HD3 and HD4 will be out by then and we'll probably still have no BG4, People will still be talking about BG3.

[novel umbra]

eh

I doubt we won't have BG4

licensees and larian both stand to gain a ton from it

[orchid prism]

God no. Let that series end already and give us something fresh in the setting.

[novel umbra]

yea not saying I wouldn't want something fresh

but realistically they will make another one

[orchid prism]

All of that infinite lore, and you keep hyperfocusing on fucking bhaal of all gods.

[novel umbra]

better hope the next dnd rpg will be about slaanesh?

[orchid prism]

As much as I loathe the end results of a certain Pathfinder and 40K making studio, at least the content is fresh.

[pure bear]

what gaming should be = day1 battlepass/mtx, server issues and shitty drm/anticheat? the game might be good but yikes

people losing their marbles over it

[still spire]

Exactly

Also @maiden tulip I can join friends

[maiden tulip]

It wasnt working earlier

Could try it again maybe jts fixed now

@still spire it works now thanks for telling us

Finally getting to play and crashing 3 minutes into the second mission

[maiden tulip]

His game crashed then I saw one of our teammates disconnect right after then mine crashed 15 seconds later lol

Clearly server related crashes

It was like a proper game crash lol

[still spire]

lol

And meanwhile the fanbase is posting shit like

Same guy

lol

[small comet]

wha?

[still spire]

People defending the game crashing

basically

[small comet]

yeah but since when is a game crashing every 10hrs normal

[still spire]

EXACTLY what I said

lol

[small comet]

and not like anyone else defends other games crashing often on launch

[still spire]

Meanwhile, the patch notes:

The one I hate the most is crashing on extract

It makes all that time you played wasted

[small comet]

man that fix list looks more like a beta/alpha thing than a release thing

[still spire]

Right?

And there's still plenty more creashes

crashes* lol

This is also their 11th patch btw.

[small comet]

e...eleventh?

[still spire]

Yep

[small comet]

was this game tested at all?

[still spire]

One almsot every day sicne launch

oh also armor doesn't work

Hasn't since launch

Dev says they dont' know why

lol

8 years and 100+ people. Remember, they have no other games to worry about either.

[fallow bronze]

cough patient gamer

[small comet]

you know i can understand that they chose whatever engine they did right. but seeing how you build an online game... why not bite the bullet and switch engines or set up a contract beforehand that support for the engine stays available

i feel like most of this is related to using and bodging an engine that has 0 support available

[still spire]

lol yeah I mean they are working on an abandoned engine

It's fucking weird, even if they know it the best out of available engines

It seriously handicaps them

The developers of said engine retired and offer no support, not a great idea for a live service game

[small comet]

yeah thats why i said contractually get service even if the engine otherwise stops existing

[still spire]

And Darktide uses said same engine, came out two years ago, and is way more advanced than HD2's.

Darktide has RTX, DLSS, XeSS, FSR, ect

Framegen

We got FSR1

And 100% CPU / GPU usage on the best hardware 😛

[pure bear]

future of gaming right there

[small comet]

you know i cant judge the lore or such but... im glad im not into extraction shooters or the helldivers gamers

[pure bear]

people are so rabid these days. people were also flat out denying elden ring had stutter issues on launch

[still spire]

Yeah...they did do that

[small comet]

the TOTK fanbase still does that

[still spire]

They even say a NVIDIA driver "Fixed it"

lmao

I don't udnerstand that mentality, I'm perfectly willing to enjoy something like Elden Ring, or Helldivers 2, and acknowledge it's flaws, big ones even.

[orchid prism]

I mean driver updates DO fix some issues.

[still spire]

It can only make something you like worse if you ignore it's faults and praise them

[pure bear]

rabid fan culture

critique = peronal attack

same with influencers

[small comet]

i also enjoyed CP2077 on release despite encountering massive amounts of bugs myself

[still spire]

I really hope with Erdtree From can step up like they did with Armored Core - Add Ultrawide and 120FPS support. Sure we had no DLSS, but hey it was a step up...and in Elden Rings case, Ultrawide support is 100% functional already without mods.

[pure bear]

yeah, im surprised how good ac6 runs

[still spire]

It's kinda funny, but also sad, that sometimes you boot into the game...and UW works, because they cover the non 16:9 area with black JPEGS.

Ehh AC6 runs ok, for a From game, but the important thing is 120FPS support.

And those black JPEGs can fail to load so UW works flawlessly in Elden Ring

[pure bear]

these days anything that can keep 60 is good :D

[still spire]

I mean, now is the perfect time with a big Erdtree update to do it. I mean launch would've been better, but we know with AC6 they are willing...but From probably won't.

[pure bear]

yeah i doubt it too

[still spire]

I value the online elements of From games too much to use the UW / 120FPS mods which disable online play so yeah

Also my 5800X3D can struggle for 120 in Elden Ring, shits so unoptimized so lol

better to stay at 60

[novel umbra]

thing is

the games that required beefier hardware tended to look a LOT better

while elden ring does look good I don't think the amount of frames you get is justified

compared to dark souls 3

[pure bear]

agreed

but dont let the fanboys hear it, they cant tell the difference between stylistic quality and technical quality

elden ring has lots of the former but the latter is nothing special

[still spire]

Mhm

[pure bear]

https://mamoniem.com/behind-the-pretty-frames-elden-ring/

[still spire]

5800x3d

So just not strong enough

[novel umbra]

elden ring is especially funny

they limit you to 16:9 and 60fps for "fairness in pvp"

the thing that prevents UW is just 2 black boxes stuck in front of the camera essentially

[hardy merlin]

Huh... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSjVmgSxfZY
