[maiden tulip]

@still spire are you having fps drops after the patch

[still spire]

Yeah I told you my performance got worse

Hasn't been a patch since then

[maiden tulip]

Mine is awful after today

[still spire]

Yeah

[maiden tulip]

Since the mech was added

[still spire]

Mech wasn't a patch, though

[maiden tulip]

It was fine yesterday

[still spire]

Nothing downloaded

[maiden tulip]

Nico's also getting lower perf

So idk

[still spire]

Yeah

It was just the patch the other day

The nerf patch

[maiden tulip]

Maybe its just certain planets

[still spire]

It can be yeah

They can't seem to figure anything out

[maiden tulip]

Like i look in one direction and my gpu usage drops to like 60% and i get like 40fps

[still spire]

Game is getting more unstable, a month in, thjan it was at launch

lol

Yeah

[maiden tulip]

I look like... 5 pixels away

[still spire]

I know what you mean

[maiden tulip]

It goes back up to 100% usage

[still spire]

The game is way too CPU heavy

Severely unoptimized

And nobody really talks about it on reddit or the big websites for reviews.

[maiden tulip]

I was playingn with someone on a 7800x3d

He was getting it too but his cpu could just brute force it

[still spire]

To a degree you can ,but only so far

[maiden tulip]

Like he'd go from 120 to 75 fps

While looking at the same spot i'd go from 75 fps to 40fps

Look 2 pixels away

Poof fps comes back even tho everything is basically still in the field of biew

[still spire]

Not much we can do about it.

[maiden tulip]

https://youtu.be/RwD2492K9pc?si=U8czNl828qZOqjK5

[still spire]

Lol

Thing is, even going from a 5800X3D to a 7800X3D wouldn't make a huge difference, even if you factor in higher clocked memory, I have mine pretty tightly timed / low latency

I might see like 10-15% increased performance, tops.

My rig is already pretty high end

[rare bobcat]

Eastward! that game is really underrated!

[still spire]

I just want Lisa, but not the rest of the bundle

[burnt spear]

Howard, my brother in christ, I have a 4090 and a 7800x3d and I still stutter in downtown boston. Fix your games.

[maiden tulip]

I did verify steam files

Now it runs fine

Idk

Wierd shit

But oh well sometimes the simplest fixes are the most effective

[pure bear]

games bad anyway

[burnt spear]

It is but I love it. I could build settlements all day.

[barren pewter]

I’ve never actually had issues in downtown Boston beyond the expected small framerate dip from elsewhere in the commonwealth (like any game having a more intensive section), no pacing issues (stutter) on Xbox one, a 3600/3070/16gb RAM and a 7800X3D/4080S/32gb RAM build

Kinda weird that I haven’t

One system, ok
two, possibly luck
three is a fluke

Either way, next gen update is coming out soon™️ and better fix that issue

[still spire]

Glad it worked for you, I can't test right now, I did the verify thing, it showed nothing for me.

[burnt spear]

That's wild man. I couldn't even beat the game on Xbox One because it always crashed by the Mass Fusion Building.

[barren pewter]

Funnily enough

The only crashes I EVER had in F4

Was the boat sequence during the start of Far Harbour

That would reliably crash for me on Xbox One

Oh, and the vertibird ride during Shadow of Steel

[maiden tulip]

Yeah it redownloaded like 3gb of stuff

and now it's fine

I didn't expect this to work

[barren pewter]

Kinda cursed, but I had to use mods to access Far Harbour, so I couldn’t ever 100% F4 on Xbox due to having modded saves for anything Far Harbour

a shame because Far Harbour was actually a solid DLC

@maiden tulip Nope I verified on both my systems, didn't re-download even 1kb.

Honestly that's concerning yours did

Almsot like something is corrupting your files lol

[maiden tulip]

I did use the steam in home transfer to dl the patch from nico's rig since it was updated before mine

And he was having issues too

Maybe i should have him verify his files too

[maiden tulip]

I blame nprotect just cuz

[bleak pike]

So there was a demo in the end?

[still spire]

Yeah

Prob be back later

Just wasn't ready yet

Mechs are very inconsistent

Sometimes I can kill a bile titan or charger into rockets. Other times it takes 4-5. It doesn't appear to matter the angle, either.

Such an incompetent company

[still spire]

lol

And think about this

They are advising Arrowhead on Helldivers 2.

Nerf weapons and tell people use Strategems to win

Adds 50% delay to strategem call in and 100% to Strategem calldown modifiers

[bleak pike]

Ye...

[still spire]

Why are people angry?

lol

[bleak pike]

Arrowhead are pretty stupid rn too

Tbf though I never really had a chance to use a meta build so nothing has changed

[still spire]

Like they are trying to be anti-fun, I don't get it. They have a "vision" for the game.

[bleak pike]

I've always used the flame flower

[still spire]

But it seems to be against the vision of having fun.

Flamer next on the nerf bat. :p

[bleak pike]

7 was horrible

Felt so useless against chargers

[still spire]

7 is my bread and butter

[bleak pike]

*I

[still spire]

Lol Flamethrower is the best weapon against them

[bleak pike]

Wait no 9 sorry

[still spire]

Gotcha

[bleak pike]

My friend thought it would be funny to drag my level 13 ass into it

[still spire]

Eh that's fine, I've done Helldive with lower levels

[bleak pike]

It's more um

I wasn't remotely used to it

Level 5-6 is pretty chill though

[still spire]

I am relaly enjoying the Punisher Slugger variant now for it's stun and accuracy

lol

6 is where it start sto ramp up, then 7 starts going nuts

Beyond that it's insanity

[bleak pike]

It made me laugh because my friend exclusively plays bugs and when he played on robots he was crying about jt.

[still spire]

https://v.redd.it/yi29upaz2anc1 I mean you saw this?

[bleak pike]

I was super chill and didn't find it hard

[still spire]

And yeah Robots are bullshit :p

[bleak pike]

I love robots

Way more fun and predictable

Since all you do is salivate about this game here

[bleak pike]

The whole game is buggy rn

[bleak pike]

I don't get it?

[still spire]

Deep Rock Galactic

Do a crossover with HD2

Both games about killing bugs

Their studios are also close

[nimble current]

well not that close, one is in stockholm, the other in copenhagen

is like 7 hour car or 8-9 hours train apart

[orchid prism]

It's definitely quite the trip, if you're not American 😄

You'd probably just fly at that point.

[nimble current]

yeah flight could probably be done in 1hr 30mins or so tops

would love a drg/hd2 collab tho

as someone who's spent a few handful hours rocking and stoning

ghost ship might be the nicest studio in the business towards the playerbase, they need to be supported

[orchid prism]

Can confirm.

And it's a pretty nice view too.

Only downside is that Stockholm airport has an "express" train, which is absolutely ridiculously priced. And is 100% there to gouge tourists who want to get to the airport in time. Platform right inside of the building, compared to taking a bus or a regional train (cause it's a good ways away from the city proper)

[nimble current]

I can imagine, 9 out of 10 times I've flown over sweden its been overcast

fucking cloud magnet this country

[nimble current]

arlanda express am guessing

and yeah that shits a scam

[maiden tulip]

@still spire seems like its not isolated @clever elk had the same thing with the corrupted filed

After latest patch

[clever elk]

so wtf do i even use now

bare in mind like level 14 or something so idk what's good to use

[vapid lintel]

I've gone with the Autocannon for most engagements

Then my primary for bots is a sniper and for bugs a shotty

[clever elk]

i was thinking autocannon for bile titans

since flamethower does literally nothing

heard railgun is still good you just gotta be careful not to blow yourself up

don't care so much for like a meta loadout just wanna be able to somehwat kill stuff effectively

[feral ferry]

<@&490097707487330305>

Get rid of the scum

Thanks sunshines

[clever elk]

that was fast

[maiden tulip]

Noob tube + supply pack has been my go to for a while

Good for swarms

[gilded sleet]

Autocannon is goated

GL good too

Flamethrower isn't bad now either

[clever elk]

what's gl

[gilded sleet]

Grenade Launcher

[clever elk]

oh ye

[gilded sleet]

EAT is good too

[clever elk]

i tried that

i killed everyone

[gilded sleet]

Hahah

Autocannon is my fav rn tho

[clever elk]

i tried to buy it yyesterday but couldn't because servers were broken

i need to buy a backpack for the cannon?

[hardy merlin]

Ok, I have to admit, Arc Thrower is pretty damn good against bots
Maybe doesn't deal much damage, but cuts through all armor like butter

[clever elk]

i suck at this tho

also fuck the hellbomb

[gilded sleet]

I was playing with a guy using Arc Thrower against Bugs and he was killin Bile Titans with it lol

[gilded sleet]

it comes with one when it drops

[clever elk]

oo ty

also idk if my fps is normal but 1440p i get 75fps on medium with 13600k and 3070

and like 110 on 1080p

[hardy merlin]

Fun fact: when you get knocked back by explosion from stratagem jammer console, the game bugs out and you can't call for a hellbomb

[flint moon]

for people that play fortnite with the 60he. Does it make u faster edit triples/quad's compared to a rk61 or something like that

[bleak pike]

That's good fps

[clever elk]

Okie it’s stable at least

All that matters

[maiden tulip]

I'm still having the wierd issue since the last patch

Fps will sometimes just tank by half

Gpu usage too

When looking at... seemingly nothing

[hardy merlin]

Ok, arc thrower* on bots is really good
For bugs is amazing, maybe doesn't deal as well as everything else with titans and chargers, but oh boy, does it shred through the small stuff
I love those last balance changes

[fringe salmon]

its a great weapon

to kill your friends and pretend it was an accident

[shell sigil]

lmao

[keen mortar]

anyone wanna play some fortnite

[proper basin]

I like festival

[keen mortar]

same but am more in the mood for battle royale rn

[maiden tulip]

@still spire my issue wasn't fixed but i found an actual fix other people with 5120x1440monitors in the HD2 discordhave my issue and lowering Object Detail to low brings the GPU usage back up to 100%

Issue also visible with someone on a 7800x3d + 4090 setup

Same spot on the map same exact behavior

[clever elk]

for some reason that game also maxes my cpu at 4.6ghz but the moment i close it i go to 5.1

that game is a hto buggy mess lmao

[hardy merlin]

It really is

But it's also fun

[dreamy rain]

😟

[clever elk]

It is fun yeah having a good time playing

I’m probably losing a few fps not having max clock speeds tbf

[still spire]

At like 15-20$ I might do it

just buy from z2u

Some dope new stuffs coming next week

Also saw this leaked customized mech suit and new vehicle

[fringe salmon]

I swear people are just always out to spoil everyones fun by constantly looking for leaks

[feral ferry]

Leaks don't spoil anything

Not in a game like this

[fringe salmon]

yeah it definitely doesn't spoil what rewards we could get or what the next event could be like the mech suit one..

[feral ferry]

Ok, and?

Not a story game

[fringe salmon]

didnt say anything about a story?

[feral ferry]

Leaks only matter for games heavily based around story elements

[fringe salmon]

you might not mind them but that's just not universally true

[feral ferry]

Ok so you learn about a feature a month early before an official devblog, and?

[fringe salmon]

so spoiling a surprise isn't a concept to you?

[feral ferry]

Not for a game like Helldivers

[fringe salmon]

but you could see how there is a difference of knowing mech suits are coming and then seing a mission to defend a planet that is making mech suits to get them as reward vs not having known they are coming?

[feral ferry]

I fail to see how that's a "surprise" anyone would care about

I prowl forums daily looking for leaked features for the next update for several multiplayer games just so I would know if I should start caring about them or not

[fringe salmon]

have you ever played DnD

[feral ferry]

Nein

But I can imagine getting cards or whatever leaked early would spoil elements for the story if they do it the same way that WH40k does their story lore drops

Not an issue for a game like helldivers where the whole point of a game is to kill bugs

I would have an issue if someone spoiled the next big story update for Warframe though

[fringe salmon]

cards? I'm talking about dungeons and dragons

[feral ferry]

The tabletop?

[barren pewter]

Vexxsie…

[fringe salmon]

do you play?

[feral ferry]

I have not

Maybe an odd monopoly a few times

Todd seems bemused

[digital dawn]

everyone seems annoyed he's there lmao

[feral ferry]

[digital dawn]

he somehow bought the worst platform and made it so much worse

[digital dawn]

honestly im surprised they're remaking TTYD, that game is wild

same

they dropped ttyd and then proceeded to fumble every paper mario game afterwards

quake champions doesnt start with my 60he, is it because it thinks it a controller, what do i do to change it

[worldly jetty]

doesnt help

[pure bear]

aer you sure it's the keyboard

[feral ferry]

Or.. he's normal and just doesn't like the person who's buddying up to him?

[bleak pike]

Nah

Tod loves being the center of attention

[feral ferry]

Todd's not a bad guy, he's just from an old era and his game design choices are not just old fashioned, but also limited by the game engine

Todd sure seems to love the center of attention, only being in the spotlight once every 5 years

[barren pewter]

When Fallout 5

[feral ferry]

Tbf I wonder what Bethesda staff looks like

If all of them are old guys from '00s then no wonder they continue to use Creation

Other than that I fail to understand why they just don't ditch the engine

[barren pewter]

Woke-ify the hiring processes and fire all cis white males

[feral ferry]

They got ABK now, can just use Frostbite

Ain't a bad engine, good for shooters

Runs really well too, Battlefield 1, V etc

Idk creation is just so damn old, use something else

It needs a complete rewrite

The only way that Creation makes sense is if virtually their whole staff are unaware of any other engines and have been using Creation for 10+ years

[bleak pike]

It makes 0 sense

We can all wait

[feral ferry]

Idk Starfield was bleh, waiting for TESVI

[bleak pike]

Get new shit and learn it

[feral ferry]

And that Oblivion Remaster

[bleak pike]

It'll pay off long term

Or just use unreal

[feral ferry]

Unreal's expensive

[bleak pike]

Hence or

But it's probably cheaper than making a new engine tbf

[feral ferry]

Nah, defo not

Better to make your own

Well, not "better", just cheaper

Beth can make a good in-house engine

But that'd be either a complete rewrite of Creation to the point it's just not "Creation" anymore, e.g ditch the damn gamebryo parts

Or just make a brand new one

(or repurpose existing one from Id, or some ABK engine)

[bleak pike]

Kinda meh how much it costs

[fringe salmon]

? 40 euro is is a great deal for that game

release price was 65 or 70 even iirc

[tall anchor]

spring sale?

[fringe salmon]

no normal price now

its not a new game

[bleak pike]

Tbf

I completely forgot how much content and how many campaigns the game has.

The pirates of the Caribbean alone is

[fringe salmon]

I mean 40€ for any current game that's not low budget indie stuff with not much content is a ok to good deal

[bleak pike]

I guess age doesn't always determine value

When it comes to games like SoT that's very unique and is supported still

[hardy merlin]

$60 on release, but absolutely worth it
Also it's nice they allowed for connecting Xbox account to Steam, so that progress moves over too

[fringe salmon]

on release it definitely was a ripoff price

and it was 70€

sorta like no mans sky just not as much of a scam at release

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, $60 and €70 for some reason
It was on discount on MS Store more often than not, I paid €15 or so for it

[fading spade]

Nintendo still seem to think phones are still 9:16 for some reason when most are much taller and thinner ratios

[fading spade]

That's why I got it

This one is 4k but they had lower resolution options too

which imo is a lot more enjoyable

[still spire]

IT depends, EDF is a different kinda game

I think it's fine and fun for like 15-20 minutes but yeah

[novel umbra]

somewhat

overall not that different

[still spire]

Well, EDF is all about crazy fun. There's really no sense of difficulty, and it's not meant to be, it's meant to be just absolute balls to the walls destruction.

Helldivers is meant to have some element of tactical play.

https://www.gematsu.com/2024/03/final-fantasy-xvi-for-pc-in-final-stages-of-optimization-demo-planned-before-release

A demo, pretty awesome of them honestly

[feral ferry]

Is it embedded in the hyperurl?

[fringe salmon]

Oh nice if they make a demo like 15 had but with better tech and not nvidia stuff breaking in the back that could make for a sick benchmark for a while

But I’d expect it’s more like the demo for 16 where you can simply play the first part

[feral ferry]

16 seems to have been quickly forgotten

For such a big franchise

XV and XVI I guess

Heard it sold in underwhelming numbers

PC version might make up

Though PS5 exclusivity is just becoming tiring

I hope Playstation looks into their exclusive titles just not selling well at all and does a PC release at launch

Only God of War Ragnarok sold incredibly well

[fringe salmon]

It didn’t beat record sales of 15 is about the only underwhelming part about its sales

[feral ferry]

PS5 in general doesn't seem to be selling games as much as they'd wish they could sell

Although the big-hitter is yet to come, GTA6

[fringe salmon]

Ps5 is selling great, they clearly won the console battle, big games are coming, devs are clearly focusing on on ps5 more than xbox

Might not be ps2 sales but great numbers still

[still spire]

Big games are coming?

lol

[feral ferry]

If the PS5 as a console is selling well, and it doesn't look like it is tbf, those PS5 users sure aren't buying their games

[fringe salmon]

No not sunset they talked about later half

Which is what people expected to be when it came out

[feral ferry]

That's a bit harsh

[fringe salmon]

So far this console cycle has been just like that last

[nimble current]

what else to call people still falling for free nitro/nude server scams in 2024?

[nimble current]

[feral ferry]

anyways, its nice seeing the console giants getting crushed under their own weight

[ashen lark]

Reminder to please stop saying the r word or its variations on this server at least

[feral ferry]

Consoles are imo obsolete

[feral ferry]

Thanks, Ben

[nimble current]

the gaming industry as a whole needs an intervention

the very first priority of AAA studios these days when concepting a new game is ways they can monetize it

[ashen lark]

Very likely tbh but with the way discord lets people rewrite links to seem like genuine links it’s no wonder people may end up clicking them, ngl I don’t understand how did they think it’s a good idea to add the feature with so many scam links around

[feral ferry]

@quiet vault

[ashen lark]

And then you have the “AAAA” game
Which honestly seems to not even be AAA and be a worse version of sea of thieves, mobile game almost

And Xbox Series X White

That's all I heard about recently

From Xbox

[quiet vault]

just put a better chip in it

[nimble current]

its actually hilarious how barebones and dumbed down skull & bones is in numerous ways

[quiet vault]

thats all i need

[nimble current]

and how they tout it as a AAAA game with straight faces

like you're saying quadruple A, we gonna be expecting some larger than life shit

not a glorified mobile game

[ashen lark]

Either they went by the mindset bad publicity is still good or I have no idea what in the world were they thinking

[nimble current]

its like they wanted to set the expectations extra high so they'd come crashing down as hard as possible

[quiet vault]

could gta6 be AAAA?

[nimble current]

not sure I understand that market strategy

[nimble current]

tbh probably

[ashen lark]

In theory I think it could tbh

Same for TES 6

[nimble current]

RDR2 campaign is as close to a AAAA singleplayer experience I've had yet

[ashen lark]

But then maybe we will get another fallout 72

If that’s even the number

[quiet vault]

gta6 should atleast be the most expensive one to make

[still spire]

Rdr2 is cheap nonsense

[nimble current]

uhh

sure

[feral ferry]

Highly likely

[feral ferry]

Highly likely not

[feral ferry]

Well it certainly was anything but cheap

GTA6 is the most expensive video game, period

[pure bear]

tes 6 will have AAAA jank hopefully

[feral ferry]

Maybe Star Citizen?

Idk how much that costs in total by now

[pure bear]

scAAAAm

[feral ferry]

Tbf Starfield wasn't very janky

[nimble current]

star citizen testing out proper server meshing now

[feral ferry]

To the surprise to many, I knew it wouldn't be

[nimble current]

400 player server limit

[feral ferry]

Starfield just suffers from Bethesda syndrome of "dated gameplay"

In general they need a new formula

[nimble current]

that's actually pretty insane if you consider the amount of assets possible on one server instance

[quiet vault]

hope the dlc is good

[pure bear]

star citizen is doing a lot of cool stuff, but they also talk out their ass big time

[nimble current]

last years citcon was the first time in ever I actually got a bit of hope for them, showed off a buttload of pretty serious stuff

they got about a year to fulfill the majority of it though, we'll see how that goes

[quiet vault]

they change the car part level system in forza Motorsport

if anyone still plays that / wants to play that

[feral ferry]

Who knows

I doubt the DLC will be big content expansions

They had a hard time shipping the game on time, and now the main dev team are now going to crunch TESVI which I imagine was meant to already be a few years into development

Thanks to COVID Beth were about 2-3 years behind schedule

I don't believe they had much time to work on DLCs, now that a large part of dev team are on TESVI production

Well, they sold a Season Pass, so there'll be at least 2 DLCs planned

Horse Armour 2

[fallow bronze]

They did nothing during covid. Noted

[feral ferry]

Ngl, I bet they did do jack shit during COVID

Starfield was a 2021 game

Then they had to delay numerous times to 2023H2

[abstract plaza]

Starfield was a 2011 game

not, literally mind you but. like.

look at it.

[feral ferry]

I bet Beth internally works on old principles and prolly don't know how to handle such things from home

Everything Beth does just reeks of '90s/'00s game design with "modernity" shoehorned in

Meh, it's an RPG alright

[abstract plaza]

except lacking in a lot of things i liked about games from the 90's/2000's. In my eyes "modernity" basically means "*stripping it down, being restrictive every aspect of the game and throwing every visual effect under the sun at it for the sake of so-called 'polish' *"

[feral ferry]

Well I more meant... the social aspect of it

[abstract plaza]

ah my bad

[feral ferry]

You ain't wrong

Ever since Skyrim, Beth's games got further and further simplified

I miss Morrowind's and Oblivion's busted, but quite fun spellcrafting

[abstract plaza]

(though for me that's less a bethesda games thing and more a modern games thing. Can't even get a dev console to disable VFX you don't want these days or make a potato config if you want to.)

[feral ferry]

I think a good Morrowind remake would be insanely fun

Story and certain gameplay elements hold up

SkyWind is a cool project to revive the oldie in a better graphical fidelity

Morrowind just had a braindead way of handling skills, like seriously, you miss all the time or do no damage if you skills are low? That's insanely oppressive towards anyone who wants to play your game

Fix that, few graphical tweaks, and it's still a top tier RPG today

Unlike, well, Starfield which is alright but very empty

[abstract plaza]

i haven't played it myself, i got a copy with my rx7600 and gave it away. But from what i've seen of it, it kinda reminds me of Starbound

but only in the wrong ways

like the worlds not feeling interesting to explore after the first few

and exploration becoming largely meaningless quickly

[feral ferry]

Ah, Starbound, another story of failure

Abandonware

[clever elk]

broken until a bile titan spits on it and insta blows it up

[abstract plaza]

and the story being... there, technically, i guess, but only as a thing you're kinda just expected to go deal with eventually

[feral ferry]

Starbound had potential

Well Terraria now has "space" mods so I find Starbound redundant

[abstract plaza]

oh it does? neat

[trim rock]

Actually due to how Starfield works rushing through the main story might be the way to go

[abstract plaza]

i hadn't gotten too much into Terraria modding. Got halfway through calamity like 3 times and that's about it

[feral ferry]

I suggest completely ignoring the main story

Starfield's main quest is dogshit

[abstract plaza]

who's lyin'

[feral ferry]

I liked the sidequests though

[trim rock]

Well let's just say I wish I hadn't put it off for so long

[feral ferry]

Starfield's main quest is utter, complete dogshit that ruined the game for me

It was the last thing left to do and my overall positive experience to that point was completely ruined

Also, companion quests suck ass

Bland, uninspired, unoriginal, badly written trash

Just like companions in general are

[trim rock]

Of course in terms of actual gameplay yeah main story is kinda trash, I'm more on about what you get from doing it

[feral ferry]

Fallout New Vegas had actually good companions, like Boone or Arcade Ganon, is it that hard to learn from old titles?

Starfield just throws out some soppy twats at you with boring personal issues and expects you to care

Although when it comes to just doing sidequests or the other main questlines, hitting up a random location or two, it's.. fine, I didn't hate it

Just get rid of the damn main quest, I am expecting for a mod to completely rework the main quest eventually for it not to suck

[trim rock]

I wanted to romance Vasco tbh but game don't let me so 0/10

[feral ferry]

Even Fallout New Vegas allowed you to fuck a robot

[hot spire]

I'm hoping when Creation Kit comes out they can make PA work

They removed magic from fo4 so it couldn't be made to work sadly

[feral ferry]

Starfield still calls effects as "spells"

The engine hasn't improved by as much as we think lol

They just bothered to un-jank the game for the first time

Which, I'll be honest, is a bit disappointing cause I'd rather have performance over jank

Jank's super fun when the engine glitches the fuck out

And Starfield ran like shit at launch

[hot spire]

Yeah spells are there but I bet they gutted power armor

The engine would be dope for fallout

You could make each previous setting a planet

And travel between them better than ttw

[fading spade]

AyaNeo need to stop releasing new handhelds every fucking week and support the ones they already have .-.

they are pumping out so many handhelds that they are now suffering build quality issues using ultra thin and cheap plastic for the chassis

Why is there an MTG x AC collab

Those franchises are so different

Or are they using Magic as like a platform to trasform other universes into a card battle game?

the Universes Beyond series is exactly that

[feral ferry]

Fallout TCG?

That's kinda fun

[barren pewter]

[feral ferry]

You mean I can have a physical card of Frank Horrigan?

Holy moly

[barren pewter]

I will in mere days

hopefully

[feral ferry]

Frank Horrigan is cool as fuck honestly as far as villains go

[barren pewter]

I will have one because I got all four commander decks and the mutant menace one includes Frank Horrigan

but...

the wait

I want to play commander again
I haven't in...

damn the last time I did was precovid

[feral ferry]

Tbf Frank is basically a supermutant

I don't mind him being called a mutant lol

[barren pewter]

I have a feeling you'd never actually play with the cards

[feral ferry]

[feral ferry]

That's kinda cringe I ain't gonna hold you

[pure bear]

they are doing collab with every shit under the sun

few years ago wotc gave up and decided to just cash in

[feral ferry]

I don't mind that tbf, sounds cool

How does MTG work even? Is it cool?

[pure bear]

uh like a tcg does?` you play cards, they do things, you play more cards

[feral ferry]

Even more than Games Workshop?

[pure bear]

yes

you can legit equip gandalf with the bat from the walking dead and shit like that

it's horrible

[feral ferry]

I want to see that in a film

[pure bear]

and if you get sent a card too early and post it online they send the unionbusters to intimidate your family

(yes they did this)

[feral ferry]

I bet I could literally give Sora a prompt "Gandalf from LoTR equipped with TWD Negan's baseball bat fighting goblins in Moria" and it'd come out with something cursed, but amazing

[feral ferry]

That's concerning

[pure bear]

wotc is a giga scumlord company

mtg is a good game, in spire of it

oh of course they do

but you know they insist their obviously ai artwort isn't ai

this image is clearly real

[proper basin]

Very real ! Thanks WotC !

[feral ferry]

The only thing that dubious for me is the shadow

That shadow doesn't make sense, seems like an AI mistake

[feral ferry]

But books where it typically struggles, seems fine, wires? Seems fine

[pure bear]

it's not bad I'll give them that, but it is AI

[feral ferry]

Tbf what even is that

[feral ferry]

And that

[pure bear]

a weird gauge

[feral ferry]

The image has some weird blur to it

[pure bear]

this is a decently made AI image

[feral ferry]

The lighting for me is the only thing that's iffy

AI struggles with lighting

[pure bear]

the lighting makes no sense

[feral ferry]

Directions of lighting, shadows, etc

AI has no clue what to do with those

But tbf unless I look into details it can pass as a normal image

[pure bear]

so they probably used the photoshop ai filler tool

there's nothign wrong with that, lying about it is

[feral ferry]

Photoshop's AI filler is absolutely ass though

[pure bear]

but they'll keep buying the cardboard crack anyway so wotc can just treat people like htat

[feral ferry]

They advertised it as an insane feature

Comes out and it's just shite

If it was up to me it seems that they are lying still

Background might be completely fake, the cards seem Photoshopped in, text is eligible, details seem fine

Weird blur on the image

Guessing they just generated a background and photoshopped the cards in

all they say is a serial number lmao

the only use for them in games would be game items but then the game would have to be p2p and 100% decentralized

and everyone's computers would be mining while gaming so the actual system works

that is a huge ass effort for an MMO

[fading spade]

Nah
AAA games these days are too unoptimized to also have a miner built in

.-.

[orchid prism]

There's no such thing as a decentralized NFT.

[willow quiver]

imagine if BIOS was made like AAA games

[fading spade]

Ew

[pure bear]

expensive and bad?

[willow quiver]

Then what is XMR? Fiat currency?

[willow quiver]

Pay 39.99$ to unlock intel CPU cores

this was a real thing

[fading spade]

I know :/

[willow quiver]

it would be an interesting idea to just make a libre game that only relies on your internet connection

[orchid prism]

If there is no central authority who decides what is legitimate and what isn't, you can pass of anything as being legitimate.

[willow quiver]

You should read how blockchains work

[orchid prism]

I don't need to.

[willow quiver]

You clearly have no idea what makes bitcoin blockchains legitimate

[still spire]

Nothing does

[willow quiver]

They're signed so if you tamper with the data the has will NOT match

if you tamper you gotta sign it again

and then you have to deal with the whole network disagreeing with you

because while you're tampering with the blockchain the network is already 1 blockchain ahead of you

and nobody will accept an outdated blockchain

[pure bear]

that is not the point

[willow quiver]

if you can get more than 50% of the computing power

then yes you can destroy the network and give you 99999999 coins

[orchid prism]

If your game is P2P, then the host dictates what is legitimate and not. Blockchains or otherwise.

[willow quiver]

point is that there is no bank because everyone is the bank

[willow quiver]

ok and you can have multiple hosts disagreeing

you can decide a single or multiple hosts

[orchid prism]

No. The host is the bank.

[willow quiver]

the problem is up to you

crypto blockchains are managed by everyone involved and it's managed by votes

[orchid prism]

That's great an all. A P2P game is not "an entire blockchain"

It is a host and clients. And while the clients can go "something's not right here", the host still dictates what is correct for a given session. You can choose to not play, but you can't force anything on the host.

[willow quiver]

ok and i am telling you that you could have multiple hosts on a P2P game

[orchid prism]

That's not how that works

[willow quiver]

You do realize RDR2 has multiple hosts per online lobby right?

However bad the security is?

[still spire]

Awful lot of non gaming discussion going on in gaming talk

[orchid prism]

RDR2 is a centralized game.

[willow quiver]

yes the master server is centralized

the lobbies have multiple hosts and you can argue it's centralized

but at the same time it has multiple hosts

which is what i have said

you can have multiple hosts

[orchid prism]

You cannot have multiple hosts at the same time. The latency would be hilariously terrible. You'd have every client have to pass on every single packet and go "looks good to you?" before accepting it as truth.

By the time that first packet has been passed around, it would be behind by seconds.

[willow quiver]

Red Dead Redemption 2:

[orchid prism]

You can keep saying that, and it won't make it any less correct.

[willow quiver]

You claim: you can't have multiple hosts!

I claim that it's been done

[orchid prism]

Correct - At a time.

[willow quiver]

But you have multiple hosts at a time in a RDR2 online lobby?

[orchid prism]

No.

[willow quiver]

Yes

[orchid prism]

Okay.

https://tenor.com/view/snoopy-dog-gif-2313497442067355714

[willow quiver]

If you want to abuse transaction bugs in that game you literally have to bug the game to not connect to any online lobbies and make a solo one instead

in GTA V there would be only a single host

you could do transaction bugs if you were the sole host

no matter how many people

however you can't guarantee that in RDR2

[orchid prism]

moves on to more important things in life

[willow quiver]

oh wow! you just repeated what i said! There is a master server and the game is p2p!

In RDR2 every lobby has multiple hosts at a given time

[severe compass]

It literally says there is one host on that image, but this fact likely won't change your mind

[still spire]

https://tenor.com/view/contra-contra_3-snes-super-nintendo-shmup-gif-22469922

[willow quiver]

That is the GTA V architecture

RDR2 literally has multiple hosts

if that wasn't the case money bugs wouldn't be any harder than in GTA V

In RDR2 you have to be ALONE to make sure there's no other host other than you

[severe compass]

Prove it

[willow quiver]

Buy both GTA V and RDR 2

Do heist glitches on GTA V when you're the one hosting the heist

you can't guarantee the same thing in RDR2

[severe compass]

This is just a subtle shifting the burden of evidence fallacy

If you ain't gonna prove it start talking about vid gam instead and leave this topic

I imagine TTRPGs go in here too.
NASA decided to release a module for some reason.

[willow quiver]

You do realize that it's non authoritative right?

on rdo it's non authoritative

[severe compass]

https://tenor.com/view/bobsburgers-fox-shark-thedeepening-lastresort-gif-3436627

Still a client-host model

[willow quiver]

ok and who's the host?

[fallow bronze]

what is a host?

[severe compass]

One guy determined by algorithm, says so in the image
The host simply has no authority, so whenever a client says "I do X" The host accepts it nomatter how outlandish "X" is in game

[willow quiver]

Ok but in GTA V you can actually be an authoritative host if you do a heist

[severe compass]

This means nothing
Once again, if you have no plan to actually give evidence to your point, abandon this line of discussion

[orchid prism]

My game says my NFTs are valid.
Yours says they aren't.
You have no authority over me, so I shall continue using my NFTs as I see fit.

Nyah nyah nyah

[fallow bronze]

back to work mansen

[orchid prism]

[fallow bronze]

close discord :p

[willow quiver]

Ok and whewn was the diagram released

[fallow bronze]

this discussion has strong https://xkcd.com/386/ vibes

xkcd: Duty Calls

What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!

[severe compass]

It doesn't matter because at the moment it's the only piece of evidence provided and it refutes every point you have made so far
If you have more up to date evidence then just fukn provide it dude

[severe compass]

Save me please

[willow quiver]

It DOES matter because the RAGE engine is different on GTA V and RDR2

[fallow bronze]

stop answering

[severe compass]

P R O V E I T !

[fallow bronze]

and fatgeek has nothing to response to

[willow quiver]

what the fuck do you mean prove it RDR2 is a completely different game

The graphics engine has been changed for example

[fallow bronze]

oops, i mean morbidlyobesegeek

[severe compass]

Yeah Drakonen you are right
I toss in the towel,

[willow quiver]

Bully the game uses the RAGE engine just like GTA V does

however they're two completely versions of the engine

[orchid prism]

This is what I think of your "game engines"

https://tenor.com/view/unity-sucks-unity-yeet-unity-yeeting-unity-unity-engine-gif-15045116

[willow quiver]

GTA V is not unity lmao

According to your logic DOOM III and Doom Eternal have no difference in terms of game engine

https://imgur.com/CcTgH1z

[still spire]

They do not

[willow quiver]

no difference at all?

So then Quake runs the same exact thing as in Doom Eternal?

ID Tech 7 has dropped support for opengl for example
