CS isn't competitive - A gamemode within is.
I never played a single game of Ranked Overwatched, only casual mode. And I was still stretch limited.
now you get into issues like having to change technical limits for the main gamemode to accommodate others which is a bit more tricky
Never
It's hypocrisy and laziness at its finest.
Ultrawide is considered an unfair competitive edge, but allowing players to run the game at 360hz isn't?
Being able to disable settings that would otherwise render foliage and other stuff? That's been an issue in shooters for a long time.
you think 25% larger view vs 15ms shorter rendertime is the same?
It doesn't have to be the same - They're both benefits. Either commit or loosen restrictions.
one can change how you need to play the game the other doesnt
Categorically disagree.
ok, example, on cs you are holding a point, without ultrawide you can see one entrance with ultrawide screen you can see two, if I want to go in I would need to play differently knowing if the guy could see both or is limited or it's a 50/50
if its a 60hz vs 360hz screen the play I would do is the same
Overwatch didn't - which is what I played. It forced stretching.
or am I mistaken here and higher hz does the same as wider fov here? or is there a scenario where higher hz does the same as a bigger screen I cant think of?
oh, thought this game had a different graphical style
it looks like a slightly more poly version of roblox

massively more polygons actually
The way your brain works is fascinating at times.
It looks like Roblox, except not at all
if Roblox was more HD-ified
So... a completely different game? 😛
every game is minecraft with smaller blocks duh
xd
Minecraft looks like Halflife, except more blocky.
Halo looks like Quake, except it's more... and so on
Roblox looks nothing like Subnautica - no more than literally any other game out there.
it has the same plasticy mobile game look to it
Roblox is an engine, not an art style (aside from the godawful avatar characters)
at this point am convinced sony would rather see their playstation branch go bankrupt than do the slightest thing that would benefit or help their customers
they really are that moronic
Yeah...
Subnautica was very heavy on cpu and had terrible hickups for chunk loading. They fixed a lot of that with later updates and.. General hardware improvements helped a lot
why do japanese "entertainment" companies hate fun so much
Could this Roblox mod be a sign of the future for virtual reality gaming?

And tbf, the SteamDeck has a decently powerful cpu
Half Life Alyx is a great for VR also, so many amazing custom maps <3
I mean they are expanding games to sell on pc now too I think they just do it in the wrong way if this is how they expand, but imagine the fail if HD2 would never have been on pc at all
yes, sony is recreating this scenario as we speak 
I just hope they can fix the other bad decisions they are making
Well as far as Sony's homeland is concerned, Helldivers 2 doesn't exist on PC.
what?
Japan is on the list of countries HD2 is not sold in as of today.
they had a huge hit on their hands, the game was a fucking cultural phenomenon which does not happen often, yet they still couldn't see past their own donkeyheaded idiocy
🤦♀️ ooohh
there ain't enough facepalms in the world
if they keep treating their players and studios like this they'll have 0 ps explusives for their next scamstation
and then the Sony Ponies will have no arguements for the PS5
saying how PS5 is better cause it has exclusives
and how Xbox is killing itself by releasing its games on PC day one
:')
you vastly overestimate how many consoles players would follow this topic, gta6 release on ps5 first and so many people will buy it that dont even know what helldivers is 
xbox sales are in the ground while ps is going as the previous gen still, so even if they completely fuck up and dont revert or fix this, it's not going to change anything for the console ecosystem
yeah
ahh yes, my other favourite game
which also was close to be axed because of the whole unity shitshow
good fucking god can we just have some games to enjoy without a corporate shitstain trying to kill it with profit
it doesnt help that most indie games are either farming sims. 2d platformers, metrodvanias or isometric turn based combat
or horrorengine spooky puzzle games
I gave some thought to the topic, and with newly releasing hardware, I think the whole console concept is dead
Xbox could profit SO much more by releasing a console-priced PC
Xbox Deck when?
Stuff a Strix Halo into it lol and price it as cheap as possible, will be as effective at gaming a midrange PC
It is possible, and I see the market for it so much more
Release games under "Xbox optimized" label which are basically PC games just guaranteed to run at like idk, 4K60 on a strix halo medium/high?
You lose nothing in effect, but gain so much more
japanese entertainment company not sodomizing their customers challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Geforce Now is Beta on Steam Deck....interesting, didnt think Nvidia, who dont want to help Wayland devs fix issues with their drivers, are willingly putting effort into making it easy to use Geforce Now
Just use xcloud
Shame it's AI generated.
Valve found their formula and it works
and they just letting it roll on its own!
Everyone is trying to climb to their height and bringing themselves down
mainly cause software issues, the thing Valve knows is the winning factor
Epic are trying to get people to use their launcher via free game promos and locking new games to their launcher for a year before they can go onto Steam and its not working, just ruining the game's potential sales for the studio who made it and making more people angry that Epic Launcher is so barebones that it doesnt even support controllers in their launcher
its really ridiculous how far you can get today if you qre just not doing beancounting
My thing is, all these guys abandoned PC decades ago saying it was not a viable place for video games
They come back, and they want to stand next to Valve in the space with none of the legwork
yep...
Nah, that piracy quote from Gabe is everything you need to know about why Valve is where it is today
and their actions to prove they meant that quote
Lazy a company
maybe thats a good thing, they already have a seemingly infinite source of income, what else do they need?
and they know that
they should care more about their games maybe
They can get lazy, they have the winning formula already, eveyrthing else they do is a side project to them at this rate
Though
The Deck is their new baby
And I feel they'll be doing this long term
Every couple of years a new Deck
Not that bad
And lots of software support between models like the current ones
Deck-ard.
The revenue per employee ratio at valve be crazy
Well yeah that's what their internal emails were talking about
Or is that holiday already over?
I know old Gabe spent couple years in NZ during covid
OMFH LOL
I didn't know that they would bring extended family too
That's so awesome 💜
Valve is a fantastic place to work I've heard, just not if you want to make video games that release.
Xd
Candy bar?!
yes
They had a candy bar
They got rid of it due to health concerns or something. Free for all employees it was of course
You know, the diabeetus
I would die
Same
https://youtu.be/AhJVC3qeiio?si=a21qOui-37KxwJc0&t=338 You can kinda see some of it here, I can't find the exact video of the candy bar though, it's been so long
Big pink cookie
It skips Japan. Tsh
suddenly katyusha
why is it a thing for AAA publishers to try to race to see who can enshittify their games the fastest?
Because the business people want to see bigger numbers
true...
I doubt they'll actually profit from this move
its more about pride for jp companies like nintendo and sony
I miss that, so much changed due to covid paranoia
Now most shops you can only buy a box not any less.
Garden warfare 2 will always be one of my favorite third person shooters
back when mobile game developers hadn't fully grasped the profitability of the market and still cared about making actually fun games
wow they published these games I don't care about and removed the one I did, good guy sony
Damn, Ponies be snuffing that copeium
Injecting it right into their viens
at least they used the right they're
Meanwhile me who thought making a PSN account was mandatory when I launched the game first time 
yeah it used to be
that argument is still bs, the issue is now people in countries who got the game cant play it anymore
if psn was available in all regions this wouldnt be an issue really imo
Sure is, "somehow" game works perfectly fine without PSN...
it was mandatory on launch but got disabled by them due to server issues
I started playing about 3 weeks after release, I'm not sure if it was then
idk when it was changed as I started when it was not needed
Anywho, I won't refund, as I got a key 
yeah never had to do it either
My negative review won't do nothing either... because I got a key
this is your brain on console fanboyism
I refunded it but I had only played for 90 minutes anyway 
i just wanna see sony get shat on
really depressing to see what its doing to the game though
You don't kill a goose which lays golden eggs
But some shareholders seem to have a craving for foie gras 
Shareholders seeing a number go down a single digit panicking
Now we going down multiple digits
I think it's not about the money
My bet is that moving with live service to PC was to make account number go up, to show that the platform is worth investing in
Other than that HD2 would be a corporate wet dream - paid game, live service, microtransactions, monthly paid DLCs and excellent player retention
looking at it now I think it's just a result of a unfortunate chain of events not something super malicous
it was supposed to launch with psn account being needed, to make crossplay and cross progression a thing
and supposedly better moderation/ban tools
then it got disabled bc issue at launch and now after it works most people think it was a bait and switch
but why did it ever get sold in countries taht cant have PSN if it was always supposed to have it
that is plain scummy
from someone
Cross-play worked just fine without PSN account, and you could connect your PSN account for cross-progression anytime you wanted
And they'd go with it through Arrowhead first if it weren't to be malicious
the listing could just have been an accident, miscommunication and if they had kept psn lock I imagine they would have had people complain about it and then they would have delisted it back then if I were to guess
since it did say that on day one and I can't really imagine them sitting there cackling how they can scam a few peoples money by not listing it correctly and dealing with refunds once those people notice they cant play
Nah, they weren't about scamming people
More about account number goes up, but not fast enough
I mean they clearly did not expect the amount of people that they got so it would not have been that much of an expected increase as of the lower numbers that would have only been a subset of people
too many things where I can just see this or that being a mistake than an intentional thing
Stop being a pansy
Classic console wars holding onto their exclusives so they have something to justify they made the correct choice 👌


its truly fascinating how there's people still simping for major corporations in 2024
like these companies couldn't give less of a shit about them
But but preservation
But discount 
It's the same on Steam, devs give free patch to download on their website

i was looking at this one, still undecided hm
Looks like a 2D version of satisfactory
I'll wait until it's a bit further in EA, doesn't look like something more than Factorio or Satisfactory
It's so shit
I tried it
Oh
That saves me 120zł 
Then again that was like two or three months ago
But it was just so not nice to play
Me and my friend ironically just ended up thinking huh shall we play SF again and went onto playing that instead.
in that case ill just stick with sf as well
Makes sense for an Ai character
much prefer an assertive artificial voice over humans trying to simulate it with their own acting
makes me recoil a bit
you mean a 3d version of factorio?
was looking at it mainly because I don't like satisfactory
since to me building shit doesn't feel good in it

nah, sony is notorious for being hacked and shit, I dont want them having any of my data
you wouldn't really give them any data
uk aside you can just make an account with false info
And then have that account linked to my steam.
just like for origin or uplay etc.
I dont like it
its icky
I dont use uplay or origin
for those exacxt reasons
Why does sony NEED me to create a PSN so bad?
there is no technical reason
they just want to collect data to make $$, they can fuck off
but unlike sony, uplay and origin don't get hacked every monday.
they gotta say something for all the bootlickers to parrot
even if it makes no sense and is not true lol
I mean they coulda just programmed features like that into the game by other means, but sony likely insisted on having their shitty services handle it
moderate and cross progression
so it nescessitates registering to their network
I dont own a playstation, I don't need cross progression.
but yeah I agree with the arguments its not needed etc. but sony security isn't really a reason when you dont lose any data
And they can ban my steam account if I say some racist shit in chat.
I don't understand why I need to link my steam to PSN
It is a reason.
I guess, I would say a reason that doesnt affect you isn't a valid complaint
Your security is only as strong as it's weakest link.
What do you mean it wouldnt affect me?!
the fuck
imagine there is a data breach
and my psn account is out
I'd just prefer not having my data ending up in hackers hands
and that risk seems exponentially higher with sony than with many other services
and they get that you said you are Joe fakename living at fakeRoad 123, that doesnt change anything
if sony actually showed they're taking the security criticism seriously and strived towards making improvements I wouldn't be so quick to call bs lies on their security arguments
I'm not advocating for it, I'm saying it doesnt really undermine your security even if something happens
your steam account can be found by just any bot going through all steamids, the psn doesnt have any more info to it
Easy to say it's fine and it is fine until it isn't because someone found a loophole or a work around or some form of process or technique to shit on your day.
Id personally rather just avoid the headache entirely
work around of what
I do not like linking random accounts to each other, its just bad practice.
I like this game too much to give up playing it, its just really depressing to me what this is doing to the games community and its future
That's just my personal philosophy on privacy and security.
No loophole
Just your steamID is being assigned to PSN account
You have to login only to verify that it's your account, just like you'd connect to any site that needs login through Steam
And all information is publicly available anyways 
Well yes I dont disagree there but I dont see how anything changes if sony gets hacked every other year vs them never getting hacked in this case
Its the principal.
If it's the principal...
that is fine then but then it's not relevant how often sony gets hacked
if its for principal they could have a world record in not getting hacked and it would be the same
because the more often sony's system gets comrpromised, the more concerning it is that I am forced to use their services for no reason.
Using fake PSN data is dumb
what is concerning though
just don't make me use it, the fuck.
Sadly I can't lol
thats also what quin is missing, you literally need IDs and shit to create a PSN
and in some countries you cant even do it
Ok then, but don't say it's about security or privacy, but about choice
If it's for privacy principle, I'll just say that you using Windows is more of an privacy issue than linking accounts 
It's about a lot of things.
again I'm not saying they should use it, I'm arguing them being notorious or not for being hacked shouldnt change if you want to link it or not
and its the other way around, you can make a psn without an id except in the UK
there I understand it
but for anyone else who doesnt have to send in any data? what can be compromised?
A company notorious for being hacked forcing you to give them your info shouldn't change my decision? Smooth brain take
If there is no info involved, why do they need me to make an account.
I don't need to be in the UK for it to be a stupid policy man
because they want to entice people to use psn and make numbers look good
forcing people to use something is not enticing
no but in the UK an ID is needed, elswhere not
by enticing I mean have them make an account and entice using it for others, thats why they want people to use it
use it for what?
I don't have a playstation
clearly ive gone years without needing a PSN
ps+ lets you play ps games on pc
No it doesnt
not if you dont own a playstation already
I can't just get PS+ now and play spiderman 2 or god of war 2 on PC
Lol
Anyway, we are getting sidetracked nad moving goal posts.
No he said they should add it as enticement
I thought they let you have older consoles games? but yeah besides the point
TLDR fuck sony and fuck PSN
I dont really need to explain why I think its icky
I think its stupid so I wont do it, and I will voice my opinion on it.
my point is you can totally say that and I agree, but if you dont give them data, their hacking record isnt relevant
we are just going in circles
Sure, fuck Sony, I'd refund if I could
But still - this has nothing to do with security or privacy (well, unless you need ID to create an account)
well you arent saying what data you could lose
needing an ID to create an account is a bad precedent
now its the UK
before we know it
you dont need an Id outside the UK
Psn ate my baby
because people like Quin encouraged the world to use fake info, we are now all going to be forced ot use our IDs
yall stupid if you don't see that changing
and its not because of sony its because of UK rules
Theres similar rules being cooked in Canada
and we are back to the same argument of I dont wanna give my data to sony for no reason
My Identity is data
my email is data
my use of their service and every move I make is data
Data is alive
Just use a throwaway mail 
it's absurd that yall are just saying "use fake info and fake email"
any email allows you to make alias or other emails if you dont want to use a main email
ok that is a fair point
It's not absurd, just reality on the internet
I have around 30 mailboxes, it's obvious I won't use my main one for everything
you don't say yes daddy
I'm aware, I'm the same way, and I do not want to use yet ANOTHER email, especially when I am getting NOTHING out of it and only potentially have something to lose.
Fair 
Besides, today it's just Helldivers, tomorrow it's if am playing a third party game and I want to play cross platform, suddenly I need to link PSN too for "moderation reasons"
Got
Ghost of tsushima comes with the new PSN overlay and requires a PSN account to play online even if it's not cross platform
Sony will be getting nice IP's soon with the Paramount buyout. New Indiana Jones game anyone??
isn't that a single player game?
Star Trek as well.
Mostly, but it does have an online element
Can you just NOT do the online element and not use PSN or is it forced on you?
If you don't use online you don't need PSN
That's what they say
What they ned to do is make PSN optional, apologize profusely, and then put the game on 50% discount with a free weekend, double XP/Credits AND Supercredits and I'd say they could earn back a lot of good will.
Just removing PSN required alone is enough
I tihnk they need to go extra to get people back into it, they got a new BP coming out in a few days
People are actually trying to organize a mass "No play" day on it's release
Probably won't do anything
But a neat idea
Given they took away access to the game from about a half of playerbase...
yeah I doubt much would happen, never forget mw2
feelsbadman when its the first game I've genuinely gotten hooked on in like 3 or 4 years and then sony does this to it
Yeah I hadn't really played in over a month but I was excited to go back eventually after some more content had been released, now they nuked the game pretty much
I still play almost daily for a few hrs a time at least
pretty much unlocked everything there is everywhere
maxed out my samples
yeah I mean I mostly play with people who are on playstation so nothing changes for me but now knowing that psn is not available in so many places does leave a sour taste
was really looking forward biting into the new warbond
now its gonna feel all gloomy 
like if it was just an account you could make anywhere I wouldn't have any issues with it more than I already do but I still made a uplay account for siege etc.
yeah that and sonys horrible security, other than that it would mostly be a few mins nuicance and nothing more
I mean I aint arguing that point again xD not using any real data so couldnt care less about their security
but now its nuking a considerable part of the playerbase from orbit
and leaves a bad taste in everyones mouths, current and new players considering it alike
it is sad to think about that if they would have not made the decision to remove the link at the start to fix servers this would have never gotten to this point
or actually selling the game in 100+ regions where they shouldn't have for months 
they created this chaos from the start
Well actually this part is damning
The account linking had to be bypassed for the game to be playable apparently
I'm falling for the hype everyday
So...that's kinda a point against not having account linking required?
I need waifu
If the system literally prevented people from playing because there were too many people playing, seems like a bad system...and everyone works just fine without it?
I mean idk what happened at the start but I imagine if there was something said about it need some time to fix people would have been understanding at that point still
typical of todays society, something is either the best thing EVAR OMG or like the worst that's ever been so bad its literally hitler and cancer combined 
there's no middle ground in public discourse
it's a bit too much""what if" though but just interesting to see that they only ended up here by trying to ease launch issues
Stellar Blade x Helldivers crossover
Let's goooo
Big Booty Helldivers, Eve in a Helldivers uniform.
Yes
lol
no staining democracy with jrpg filth 
Bruh have you seen the OFFICIAL Twitter posts about Eagle-1?
the fanart?
sure
Please show
In DM
Lmao it's not DM worthy
Thanks I hate it
lol
Doesn't remotely look like her
Remotely look like her?
We haven't even seen her officially
lol
Lol no, that's quite the mixup
We'll have to wait for the PC version, then someone can make her a Helldivers outfit, if the game is still around by then
If we get the pc version
More when, not if
Sony is very careful to specify everywhere that it's PS5 console-exclusive, not PS5 exclusive
Same was with Horizon Forbidden West and they changed information on Ghost of Tsushima the same way - those are PS4/PS5 console-exclusives now
Also, it's 100%
they had a PC version already done before launch
- It's UE4. 2. It was originally going to come to PC. 3 It's a sony game like mentioned so of course.
- More money

I mean it's dickish we don't get it at launch, especially considering Sony didn't buy the studio, doesn't own the IP, and didn't fund the game
Though 99% of reddit comments are "Sony should buy the studio, they'd do well at Sony"
2 hours is automatic refund time, you can still ask for it after that time 
And it looks like they booted Spitz, the CM who suggested downvoting and asking for refunds... https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1cl3a4o/spitz_its_gone/

Looking to upgrade my mouse, what type of mouses do you guys use
Using the beast x 8k now
Community managers are probably trying to force Sony to remove the PSN requirements
I didn't even know Sony were involved in this game when it first came out
Then all this shit happens
These look like they cost more than they do,was surprised to see how affordable they were, gonna arrive today by night
Saw that one in stores and thought about it
It's legit so damn good
Didn't even need to replace the battery yet since getting it
What type of batteries does it take
Damn, actually gonna plan to get it then, i got 8 rechargeable double A’s just lying around
Thank you for recommending it
Oh nice!
Just keep in mind
It can't be used with a cable
Wireless dongle only
Which isn't a problem for me cause it's really fast
I think sometimes it's faster than the wired mouse I had before it
Thats fine, gonna be plugged in all the time
Dongle is gonna be right next to the mouse
Ahh
Ok
Nice!
It does come with an extension cable too if the dongle is plugged into the back of a PC or whatever too
Thats neat
The left and right buttons are a tad loud though
Like a mechanical keyboard press level of volume
So maybe see if you can test it at the shop first
Are they like viper mini type of loud
I have no idea!
its alright, ill check them out before i buy it
Apparently the mx Master has silent clicks
But it's bulkier too
Also
Fake transparent background
Ughh
only on the S version
the orginal 3 is not dampened
Yeah I have the 3s, good office mouse 👌
Don't recommend for gaming since it maxes out at 125hz polling though 
Battery lasts like half a year though
eh I still use it
in the end skill triumphs all
Man that mouse is unplayable outside of casual gaming, the sensor latency is baddd
I don't have to look at the stats to know this mouse feels unresponsive and laggy when using it for gaming, idk what to tell you it literally polls 8x slower than a standard gaming mouse
stats can also increase the amount of potential placebo felt, which causes bias
realistically if we compare it to the g502 lightspeed it doesn't look bad
what matters is consistency, as that means you'll be able to adapt to it
My brother it is a terrible mouse for gaming I don't know what to tell you the stats you're linking are 2-4x better still
Beast x nice
lol
I would 100% use this mouse but the latency is pretty bad from what i've heard
Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.
We’re still…
I can't believe it
It really happened
I was just about to post this
Sony walked back
This never happens
Like all the previous review bombs and protests or whatever?
Nothing came of them
But this one was apparently different
Let us help our PlayStation brothers next
And a letter apology
Let us make Sony have PS+ not be a requirement for online games on Playstation
I wish, that'd be a real major win
this is really something new
i'd understand it if they actually hsoted the servers for said games
Nice nice nice.
Shame it has to come at the cost of cross play (I assume)
It is 
Everything goes through HD2's servers
I have a strong feeling this whole thing came at a cost of Sony's cooperation.
SNOY 
I think so? Not sure what Sony plans to do next, but the game is well balanced now, content and balance patches are going strong, they don't seem to care about patching farming premium currency...
Nope
Crossplay still works
Lets not make such conclusions until the dust actually settles. Pretty sure the game is still not for sale in all of the aforementiond countries.
Volvo has to remove the purchase restrictions
I hope it's just a matter of time, but yeah... I wonder what Sony is cooking now
something else
figured out a good use case for abusing wooting's capacities
dashing in gunz
Button config has both 2 and W set to forward movement
first lap around the platform, is doubletapping W like normal
second lap is sliding from 2 to W to get an instant forward dash
back to the lab again
the basic idea is to abuse the fact that gunz can let you map two buttons for each input you can do
Button config has both 2 and W set to forward movement
first lap around the platform, is doubletapping W like normal
second lap is sliding from 2 to W to get an instant forward dash
so combine that with 0.1mm actuation and 0.15mm release and you get instant dashes with slide inputs
what's DKS
if that enables the key to bind "press, release, press again" then to me that crosses the barrier into macro territory
thats the whole debate since it needs to be pressed to certain depths for it to work
on one hand its a single key on the other hand you have to pass some of the 4 actuation depths to get certain behaviour depending on configuration
it would also require me to get better at partial presses and that's a whole other can of execution worms
in the above video, the only execution i have to do is a curlback with my finger
like a scratch motion
Man if gamers had just been pushing back against Sony, Microsoft and others decades ago, we'd be so much better off now
i basically would have to get used to doing partial presses in order to press W for forward without dashing
and then only do a full press to get press, nothing, press
and thats why some argue its not a macro
it's extremely shaky territory but i would rule it as a macro and not allow it in competitive play
if I were a TO
that's too much extra witchcraft to be fair
meanwhile others would judge it increases the skill ceiling as you now need precision control of the depth of press and not just spamming keys
so to say a third dimension ot using a keyboard
which would be a fair argument to make if you were designing a game with the assumption that players were going to use analog keys in the game and everyone was going to be on an even playing field
I think it really depends on the game and how "unfair advantage" is defined
having a higher skill cieling to use macro witchcraft doesn't mean it isn't a qualitatively different input that, when made equivalent to the type of input most controllers have to do, will make multiple inputs per singular input comparatively
it also depends on how analog moves forward
which is what puts it into macro territory for me
more and more keyboard implement their own DKS
Wdym "nah"
it's far harder to argue what i posted is cheating, and not just a natural consequence of optimising the performance of an existing peripheral
instead of adding qualitatively different features
dks would also just be optimising the performance of an existing peripheral though
we didnt make it for the game
Some games consider rapid trigger to be illegal in tournament setting, some think dks is cheating and some dont think either are a problem

Up to whoever runs the game at the end
rapid trigger is def an advantage but it's hard justifiably say how it's cheating
Counterpoint - macro has always consistent timing
For DKS you can set depths, not timing, so you still need skill to invoke time-precise actions
If we're going this rabbit hole, then rapid trigger is also an unfair advantage, since you can send inputs faster than other players 
but yeah ultimately i think no matter what you do as wizard said you will always have to either ask the devs or hope you know what they want
well its a feature traditional keyboards cant have so you pay to win essentially
and a lot of people make that argument
the only consistent option is to have standardised equipment for a tournament
just like DKS the issue is that RT is sort of bleeding edge keyboard tech rn
that arg against rapid trigger doesn't work since that argument would equally apply to having a better quality wire, or better polling rate, or other optimisations that don't add anything qualitatively different. so a different argument would have to be made
it doesnt matter that DKS has been in keyboards since 2016. it also doesnt matter that RT is on keyboards since a few years since the main issue is mass adoption of such features
getting a 1khz board is easy for low money
so the barrier of entry isnt spend 160eur or more
Then argument against DKS doesn't work either, since some keyboards/mice straight up allow for creating hardware macros, auto-clickers etc.
UwU is €50, does have RT and DKS 
good point we do have a low cost device
I'm not sure how that follows, since you could easily just ban the use of the features of those hardware macros and autoclickers.
A ban on macros is inclusive on both software and hardware macros
The point regarding consistent execution timing on macros was a better point that requires some thought to make a point against
nothing is coming to mind now though. just pointing out that the other arguments don't work
well all of the arguments work
i'm not talking about banning a peripheral because it has a feature, i'm talking about banning the use of the feature
it depends on what arguments the dev thinks are valid
for all we know they do the same as some big games do where hardware macros are ok cause we can disallow configuration software for the keyboards most people use while AHK and such would get you banned
if they allow hardware macros but disallow software macros then that's wack lol
Depends on the game
happens in a lot of games
Ik poe bans all macros and probably also dks
yeah it really depends on the game of what is banned and what isnt even if the ToS would imply all macros are banned
same for modding online games
some games are less strict with enforcing it than others
You can't ban (i.e. block) hardware macros, you can try to DETECT them however.
note, i come from a fighting game background so when i talk about banning i'm talking about tournament rulesets
not about what's feasible to detect for competitive matchmaking
Sure. And I'm talking about the actual blocking of such.
I agree that banning one but not the other on paper rules is silly.
even in tournament settings its hard to determine hardware macros unless all staff enforcing rules are cheacking each keyboard and know the software etc
theres a lot of hoops to go through if youd want to do this properly
I guess there's a reason why they ask players to lock up keyboards between games 😄
correct
Yes. The risk would be, if they are eventually found out, they're banned from competitive play.
its also why they dont bring their own PCs and such
which isnt a risk for a lot of pros apparently since some still use hacks during qualifying matches for LANs and such when playing from home
and then also the people who used steam workshop maps for csgo to load cheats
never underestimate people who are deadset on hacking/cheating
gosh. the culture in those bigger games is quite different to what i'm used to lol
well its more the general size and that it often goes corporate
so times short and having people play as much as possible for engagement etc is key (at least that what it looks like)
Lol
I saw this before and chucked
But then you sent that fake tweet screenshot and it made me rethink it
id rather link my account to a known crypto scammer than to Sony's network

the obvious name would be orbital precision strike
cause thats what sony got
Nah we 380MM orbital strike’d their ass
Sony tried to burn the land with napalm. It did not work.
Sony used napalm
It's not very effective
Sony used napalm
It hurt itself in its confusion!
community used review bomb
it’s super effective
Sony and other publishers learning PC players won’t deal with their bullshit
the BS is the 170+ regions that can no longer play the game because of this stupid not needed account
Cannot buy
Thankfully the full mandatory PSN account update wasn't introduced at all 
Well it’s over turned now so they’ll probably change that
Perhaps.
If that's Valve's decision then they'll do so
If Sony then... eh... maybe?
Why would making a Sony account mandatory be Valve's idea?
"Sony has decided that due to lost revenue from PC ports, all PC ports will cost 10$ over standard MSRP"
is that real? cause I believe that
No, but it'd be very Sony like
"No accounts eh? Then pay extra!"
I posted that Sony should remove PS+ as a requirement for online play and my responses have been overwhelmingly negative on r/PS5 and I was just trying to say they should fight for their rights too lol.
The best argument so far is "Microsoft charges, Nintendo charges, why not Sony?!"
We are lost
We don't know who restricted purchases on Steam, Valve or Sony
That's... what we talked about, yes
Wakey wakey, it's 11 already 
Crop out opera gx next time pls
true
No, I didnt. I just never saw the official post they made confirming it
I just took other peoples word for it
given it was some YouTube comment it was probably an old video she was watching while everyone else posted memes about it being over 
holy crap sony actually backed down
I did call it 
Yeah, they backtracked cause a significant portion of their playbase would no longer legally be able to play it and then they would have to spend money to give refunds and they dont wanna spend refund money
all the backlash they got made them revert, they wouldnt do it otherwise
Did I say anything that disagrees with that?
no
To be fair Pilestedt did a great job about communicating with players
So did some CMs (some other not so much...)
yeah they could do some tidying in the CM ranks over there that's for sure
idk if the game is ever going to get most of the playbase back though, most people already refunded it, I dont know if/when its gonna get added back to steam or if it will, or will it be only available on sony's website
sony apparently hasn't reverted on pulling the game from certain markets yet though, I hope that's coming still
without psn it shouldn't be an issue
:/
unless sony plans another switcharoo down the line
Twinbeard is a real OG, Spitz helped a lot too, Baskinator was only spreading some bs 
yeah no, maybe a few percent at most refunded
Look an Internet outrage is never representative of the real numbers when half the people play with friends and don’t Reddit or anything about it
like the playercount barely dipped at all during these turbulent days 
Active playercount didn’t even dip much when this went on
Also what are you talking about added back to steam it was never gone
The places where the buy button vanished are not countries where most players are from either
It was indeed.
Yeah that’s different from removing it from steam for the intent of having to „add it back to steam“
That's an assumption on your part.
No.. that are things you can see from the public steam api?
Delisted, but not sure whether by Sony or by Valve to avoid more kerfuffle
You're assuming it's getting relisted.
Lana talked about it only being available on Sonys website… when all they could do is sell steam keys?
So yes it would be relisted?
If it was delisted by Valve then it'll be once Sony releases official statement about it, not only a Twitter post
If it was delisted by Sony, then it may or may not be relisted
nah, they can host the game itself there
And host steam integration without running steam? That’s news to me how that would work
Free stuff, yes! I like free stuff 
The sheer implied entitlement
Like no, most people did not refund most people did the same thing they did the day before this started

ahh yes, console fanboy brainrot
sony simps probably seething out of their eyeballs now that their corpodaddy failed to force the pc crowd into their cult
Gotta love people on r/playstation
- Just create an account lol
But you can't create PSN account in most countries on the world, so you can't play the game here
- I don't give a fuck lol
fucking copium
does that mean if you buy a playstation in one of those regions, you basically cant use it?
Not sure if you need PSN account to update disc game
But multiplayer/PS+ is certainly out of window
You have to pretend your playstation is somewhere else
Which violates Sonys ToS and they may ban you and you lose access to all your games
^
You can just use it offline and play disk games
So you can use the console and everything singleplayer
dont a lot of games require day one patches?
Eh not really on consoles because they mandate the discs to ship a playable version
And as cal said I think updates also work without PSN
Cyberpunk 2077
That doesn't sound like Sony at all. Given their dislike for jailbroken consoles.
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that’s been the case for all PlayStations that you could just use them offline?
And yes cp77 is one noteworthy exception xD
I'm 100% certain you could update games without PSN account on PS3, not sure about PS4/PS5
No Mans SKy
No youc an'
You can't
I own a PS5
and when logged out of PSN, it says I need to login to update
But does it say that when you never log in on the console on setup?
I don’t remember because I made a PSN account to claim my free god of war copy lol

ISTG Sony hardcore fanboys are the most copium induced people ever
That’s just console fanboys in general
Ive seen more shit takes from Sony Ponies than Xbox fanboys so far
Did you miss the entitlement and then enrages when starfield got removed from PlayStation due to the Bethesda buyout only to be released on it after some time since they failed so hard?
Xbox fanboys acted the exact same way xD
I didnt say that Xbox fanboys dont react like sony fanboys
they seem to do so far less

I mean they did the literal same things when that happened
They were shitting themselves crying when microsoft decided to put some games on ps
yeah
LOL
more for you = less for me
do we though? we always get the port with shitty performance and whatnot
and kernel level anticheats
Nixxes does an amazing job with ports of PS games
glazing on anything is equally annoying, be it pcmasterrace shitheads, sony dickriders or xbox munchers
yee
And Xbox is just Windows PC in a trenchcoat, so...
if anything I would say xbox fanboys are even higher on copium, ps fans can at least point to some thing sony is doing well, wtf is xbox doing? releasing another redfall and starfield?
actually what were the l idk last 3 or 5 big games that xbox studios made that werent a total fail
not sure tbh LOL
halo was fine I think? forza and gears of war maybe
halo was a fail
which one?
Forza Motorsport is a shitshow 
didn't count mcc
so MCC is not a fail?
yeah im just trying to look at the most recent ones not deacde old ones
wasn't that high budget
oh right, mcc is a bundle of older ones
did they make them work with controller and whatnot though or it just a copyof the old files?
was thinking of the high profile ones, that being 5 and infinite
and neither one performed well
do we count AoE2: DE?
horizon 5 probably did really well
oh found a timeline lets see https://www.reddit.com/r/XboxGamePass/comments/17lj3sc/xbox_firstparty_studios_roadmap_as_of_november/#lightbox
Newer games... Um... Uh... Grounded is pretty cool...
grounded, hi fi rush
flight sim
neither of which were super high profile
but still performed well
flight sim did well considering it is niche
I know but if we only look at high profile we can find even less xD
yea
I'm trying to give xbox the best shot
Hi-Fi Rush was Bethesda's, not Xbox
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_Game_Studios_video_games
also forza motorsport released last year
bethesda is xbox
Bethesda/Zenimax is Microsoft Gaming, not Xbox
don't think motorsport did that well
maybe it sold decently but people hated it
to the point where people recommended you to play GT7 instead
o.o
pretty sure phil is head of xbox and MS games studios no? so im counting that as the same thing
ow2 is still shitting the bed I think
doesn't really make a difference in the end
just corpo bs
would count it as the same
im just trying to be extra generous and see what we could find to attribute to the xbox brand that the fans could cope about
to the point where they are making all heroes f2p again
I guess sea of thieves is going strong
somehow
isnt that just cause its still zenimax and microsoft gaming is just their new parent for having all the big studios under? as in microsoft gaming literally just has xbox game studios, zenimax and actiblizz directly under it?
I feel like that is one of those games that is only popular with people that don't play other games
just like dead by daylight
ye
ngl
kinda funny they put goldeneye on there
considering that both ports that we got were worse than the original in some aspects
and absolutely worse than the leaked 360 build
Sea of Thieves is great, but get stale fast
Should they put more content and somewhat working PvP arenas it'd be really good
so anyway, console fanboys are stupid, including nintendo fanboys, but at least I guess nintendo and sony have good games that can be argued for, I really struggle to see the reasoning for xbox fanboys lol
yeah I know, I made the mistake of playing it at launch lmfao
anything resembling permanent progression
fucking blank game at that point
tbh just as a plattform the xbox is prob the best of the 3 (imo)
but for exclusive titles it's not that great
its fine in the sense of you can have it instead of a pc and not deal with pc issues
I use to be a xbox guy back when halo was good 
but like, if you have a pc it makes no sense
ngl i cancelled my gamepass cause i just stopped playing games from it
and if you want to buy games and not gamepass I also struggle to see why one would get a xbox over a playstation
the last game i played was skywalker saga but steam sold it for 13bucks with all DLC so i got that and was done with it
yea on pc it makes less sense
I also canceled my game pass seems like one of those things you subscribe to like once a year and when you're caught up on the games you just unsub again 
you gotta consider that you need to subscribe to play online anyways
on an xbox yes
I'm glad they put Forza Horizon on Steam
Somewhat annoyed they didn't bother with cross-saves, but oh well 
ngl i have more xbox 360 games i wanna play than new xbox games
still need to replay dantes inferno, more viva pinata and shit
i had to use some community made tools to transfer my safe from xbox lego skywalker to steam
oh yea, good backwards compatability
where even 360 games get improved versions
meanwhile bloodborne still runs like on a launch ps4
Halo 3, those were some good times
i dont trust xbox and backwards comp
their "og xbox backwards comp" on 360 was enough of a blow for me
Doesn't work with Forza though
Turn10 patches every single exploit with it
While cheaters are running rampant 
It's nice to turn on once in a while to zone out
And I'm not really sad about my MS Store save, I got everything on Steam pretty easily again
Still, I think I prefer Test Drive Unlimited over FH 
i just want underground/underground2 but in a modern setting
let me tune up my car in a cool visual way
not just hd mod but also mdoern cars
just play the rtx remaster

huehue it's actually for a block heater, the car didn't have one originally so some mods had to be done
Tesla with LPG installation 
why tf would you wanna go LPG
guh
why do you have a block heater
canada?
it's a necessity in the winter
It's a meme in Poland
If it drives you can add LPG installation to it 
finland
ah
What is that?
right
lets play games
conversion to car gas
Oohh
It's never done right 
maybe in poland
why do right if you can just do
have had multiple people in my family with converted cars and all were done right
They weren't converted around here, that's why
you just gotta buy cars that had good kits done by people that know wtf they are doing
You just made me think of an idea
Putting a gaming PC into a car and playing games on the dashboard display ....
This video tutorial will explain how to mod your Porsche 911 or other car to run Doom in just three easy steps. No engineering experience is required, it only takes a couple minutes, and this works for many different cars built in the last couple years.
Demoed with Doom and Doom 2 with a 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet.
NOTE: This mod was...
:') oh ofc doom
You can put GeForce Now onto Tesla's dashboard... 
O.o
you could actually play games natively on some teslas
are you calling me out now
... Oh?!
just encouraging others to do as you did
Are Tesla the only cars where the main interface isn't a laggy mess then?
they might be lol
Wow
ah
Cause every video I see of other EVs
The touchscreen console seems so laggy
Or it has no animation to make the illusion of no lag
But Teslas's ones are full of animations and they don't seem to lag
cconsidering how little computing power would be required
Tesla also has much stronger hardware than you find in a car usually
fair point
Even though the other EVs are much more expensive?
but something the level of a raspberry would be enough 
Teslas have zen+ apus usually car hardware is like 2 nodes behind that still
I still don't like the concept that cars these days are just computers that you can drive
I just wanna have music playable from my phone
Answer calls
And show my Google maps on the center display

not like the car doesn't have other stupid decisions
only bearable os & screen ive come across in a car is tesla, for the rest id just use android auto or carplay tbh
for some reason they decided that it behaves like an automatic and just starts rolling if you push no pedals
unless you activate ipedal
but you have to activate ipedal each time you start the car
and if you go into reverse it also ignores the ipedal setting
and if you were relying on your car standing still because you were in ipedal it just starts rolling backwards immediatley
Yeah that's what I've seen too
I've seen so many Tesla in videos and on the road while driving but I've never gotten to sit in one
Now that Sony rolled back their decision I am curious to see how many people will actually change their review
i sat in one recently, actually embarrasses pretty much all the competition
The UI yeah for sure
i took my driving lessons on model x and 3, they were great cars
.....
although to be fair I haven't really tried any other EVs
They said they'll roll back their decision
But HD2 is still unavailable to buy for the half of the world...
Don’t think we know if it was Sony or steam that blocked sales there
It it was valve they are asleep probably at this time
Nice to see that the voice of people was able to change this tbh
it was a psyop to make people less angry about eft
Well I’d think so too, but then it means that in future there will be an expectation uproars will work which may make them more likely to happen
Oh, EFT 
So currently €150 EoD edition is more P2W than €250 Unheard one and they're still trying to make it work

They just used to being bent over by corporate lords, and then only cause an outrage when booba souls isn’t lewd enough
Booba souls is one thing
They were outraged because of cleavage in FFVII 
So they moan because cleavage in one game but then moan because another doesn’t have enough
Seems fine to me
More that in both there isn't enough...

Ps5 so shit they need tits to try nake their purchase worthy enough

Nice
nice.
