Wanna buy an overpriced flash drive???

[pulsar prism]

drm free you know what that means

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-catjam-cat-pirate-catjam-pirate-cat-gif-21905878

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah we just gotta have one guy buy it and crack it ez

More games should do that 🤣

[small comet]

i mean its like saying wanna buy an overpriced html page when you buy a game on gog

also its sold out since a while

[still spire]

lol, I gotta be honest I don't like buying from GOG because it doesn't feel any different than piracy

I know that's dumb, but like for real, the alck of any kind of DRM makes me think "Why would I pay money for this if it's just being given out free"

[fallow bronze]

Wat

[hardy merlin]

Quite a lot of games on Steam are also DRM-free

[grizzled quarry]

And this is a problem?

[small comet]

selling a game without DRM isnt giving it away for free

at that point why should musicians get money when they post their music and music videos on youtube for free

[tranquil salmon]

My mans out here exclusively paying for the denuvo "experience" that it adds to games.

[small comet]

doesnt matter if its drm free or not. the 7 seas will always be sailed by such individuals. i think there is valid use cases for those ways of aquiring games but i also think you should pay for games you actually want to play.

[grizzled quarry]

I'll buy a game I downloaded pirated if I truly enjoyed it and/or wish to use the online features

But most times I don't care and prefer to just play cracked

[hardy merlin]

Linux is the solution
Buy a game because you're too lazy to set up everything to run a cracked version

[small comet]

using the 7 seas to essentially demo a game is just proof that games these days are usually lacking features/services. namely demos in this instance

[grizzled quarry]

I would need to really like the game/want to support the devs if it weren't for wanting online features though

[small comet]

so youd be ok if all other games that dont meet those criteria to have never existed?

[grizzled quarry]

No

I'm just a cheap ass

[hardy merlin]

I have no issues with cracks if there's unreasonable online-only requirements
Some weeby games have DLCs which work only when you're connected to the Internet, try to play them on Deck while going somewhere

Oddly enough that's mostly for Sony-owned studios and IPs, go figure

[pulsar prism]

of course I always pay for games I want to support, sometimes I just need a demo before I buy 👀

[small comet]

like i said a bit after that: demos virtually not existing these days is a lack of feature imo

and while steam has a really good refund policy there can be scenarios where you accidentally accumulate time by for example leaving the game running in the menu cause you have to answer the door or something urgent comes up

[hardy merlin]

Human Steam support is usually chill with such cases, as long as you're in the 14-day window and you explain it to them, they'll pretty much always refund the game

[pulsar prism]

I tried to get a refund for helldivers 2 after 90 minutes of playtime and it was rejected

think i've only ever refunded 1 other game before that so not like I've been abusin it

[hardy merlin]

I never had issues with refunds, refunded maybe 3 games ever, one after 10 or so hours, because new patch for it made the game stutter as hell
Also it seems like Valve favors Deck and Linux users, once there's an update which makes the game unplayable they'll give you a refund regardless when you've bought it or how much you've played

Other thing completely that I prefer GOG over Steam because Valve still hasn't fixed regional pricing for Poland

At least indie devs are chill about it, you can just ask them to fix the price
AAA studios apart from several Japanese ones don't give a fuck

[orchid prism]

Automatically or a manual request?

[pure bear]

strange, i refunded elden ring after 3 hrs at the start when it was a stutter fest

[drifting rose]

very accurate lel
luckily there is now umu-launcher, which supports a couple of games that Lutris has thus far declined to run

[fallow bronze]

I still fall to see the appeal of that game

[drifting rose]

I see a few new of these videos pop up every day, and it's gaining traction. good that the fanbase is finally out of denial and giving valve shit

[fringe salmon]

oh but its nothing new

they did that last year

and nothing happened

and I dont see anything happen this time either

[trim rock]

They'll squeeze out another tweet, that's about it

Janitor doesn't know how to fix it, and the actual developers are too busy working on Deadlock or whatever

[maiden tulip]

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/the-last-of-us-part-2-remastered-on-pc-has-been-ready-for-at-least-seven-months-its-claimed/

[drifting rose]

yeah valve lost interest a long time ago, they should farm it out to another developer imo

I thought it was kinda shit after the meet your match update, and it's been getting worse since

however! #savetf2 was the fanbase encouraging valve in a nice way, but a youtuber has since provided proof that about 70% of all connected clients are bots

which valve is doing nothing about, now the remaining players are getting pissed

so if nothing happens this time, I think people will just leave

[young crow]

i don’t think they do anymore, the dota guy managed to fuck shit up recently in the gameplay patch

(that’s a good thing)

why are ladders faster on Bedrock?! its really tripping me up doing parkour on them

[pulsar prism]

I just did this https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/784C-923B-A4A1-C825

[digital dawn]

your biggest issue is the fact that you're playing bedrock

[novel umbra]

how long have you owned it tho

[grizzled quarry]

Shouldn't matter I thought

I thought it was only 2 hours of playtime or less regardless

[novel umbra]

nope

you got 2 weeks

for it to be guaranteed basically

[grizzled quarry]

Damn didn't know that

[pulsar prism]

I had owned it for a week

[novel umbra]

then idk never had a refund declined tbh

and I refunded quite a number of games over the years

[grizzled quarry]

I've only done it once I believe

[pulsar prism]

yeah idk I did it once before no issues not sure why this time it didn't work

wow, there is a new borderlands coming.. i dont think i have interest in that game

[fringe salmon]

there is?

only seen ads for the movie not for a new game yet

[novel umbra]

we had teasers about it a while ago

supposedly there will be a real announcement at SGF

we'll see ig

[fringe salmon]

ah

[fallow bronze]

#4

[novel umbra]

judging by those it will canonize the second tales game

which introduces a revive mcguffin btw 💀

[fringe salmon]

yeah I konw its been in the works just havent seen anything new in a while

[novel umbra]

I think the only concrete thing still is a twitter banner

this thing

[fringe salmon]

and meh, if they dont revive jack its fine, then I might see how it launches if I want to coop it

if jack is back I will not even give them a chance

[novel umbra]

I mean atm jack might not actually be dead lol

with how it is worded jack is not dead

[fringe salmon]

you know what I mean

[novel umbra]

yea

but atm canon should be that at the end of bl2 you kill a doppleganger

and the one in the bl3 dlc is the real jack

they will revive other characters tho

like maya is on there

so is roland

[fringe salmon]

which dlc, the jackpot one?

[novel umbra]

yea

[fringe salmon]

wym thats the real one, the one in there is the doppleganger you can play in pre sequel

[novel umbra]

nope

was later stated that only deaths in cutscenes are canon

so jack still lives

[fringe salmon]

I mean, what shows that the dlc one is the real jack then

[novel umbra]

well

he could be another doppleganger ig

doubt too many of those survived in total

[fringe salmon]

I guess if they revive him for some dlc but dont put them as main antagonist or something it would also be fine

[novel umbra]

we'll see

story is already fucked imo

[fringe salmon]

eh yeah dont expect a great story, if its fun coop and not a jack story thats good enough for me

need some more coop games

[novel umbra]

yea

we'll

hopefully it is fun coop

I personally did really not enjoy 3 as much

[fringe salmon]

yeah I liked the idea of the raid like strikes but the rest was very meh

[still spire]

Yeah my PS5 box has 8K120 on it

Was hilarious

Made me chuckle everytim

[fringe salmon]

I mean if you use it to stream some video that can do 8k just fine, doesnt mean it runs games on 8k well

[nimble current]

so its only mostly false advertising

[fringe salmon]

I mean there is like some games that can render 8k so its not really false

its just not a usecase just like amd and nvidia advertised 8k and its just a joke

does the xbox not have it on the package? thought they also were showing that bs at some point

[fading spade]

Nah Xbox just says 4k

[grizzled quarry]

our series x doesnt but our ps5 does

i remeber seeing it on the ps5 box when we first got it and every one of us laughed

[fringe salmon]

I just remember everyone showed it in their presentation, gpus, consoles etc.

[fading spade]

fucking braindead take

[still spire]

Consoles exist for a plug and play experience, at a significantly lower price

[fading spade]

PC: Higher entry cost: Cheaper in the long run
Console: Lower entry cost: Expensive in the long run

cause games are not on sale as much or as often as PC, and you pay for multiplayer on console too

PS5 is the best place to play
Proceeds to mention a few facts that make PC sound better than PS5

Better game experience
Cheaper
No multiplayer fees

[silent ferry]

consoles should not be in this day and age they are done only dumb fk ppl buy them

[fading spade]

Nah, Console do have some merit to them

they are easy to use and you dont need to worry about games performing badly on them

[silent ferry]

years ago yeah

but not now

[fringe salmon]

You can buy them and not deal with issues like updates breaking something or having to reseat your cooler or other troubleshooting, stuff just works

[fading spade]

Yeah

it just costs a lot more in the long run for that comfort

cause more pricey games and the ongoing online subscription costs

[fringe salmon]

That’s not a given if you don’t play online or use enough games from the subscription you get with it

[buoyant osprey]

Is this the Sonyponyforum?

[fading spade]

Twitter

but yeah

Sony Pony base xd

[silent ferry]

I don't know but for me I can't play console for long time coz controller not that comfy for me at least

[fading spade]

im ok with controller except for FPS games

well, if the controller has at least 2 rear buttons and motion controls to help aim, I can get by rather well in FPS games

[nimble current]

yep consoles had their day but its almost as bad as pc regarding constant updating, bad optimization and especially the monetization

only thing they really got going for them now is being relatively affordable if you just want to game

[fading spade]

wow, such character development

this is the guy in my other screenshot who has a PC but doesnt want Sony games to come to PC

and here he is saying how hes only going to use PC from now on

so he doesnt want to play Sony games anymore??

Since he is switching to PC but doesnt want to PS games to come to PC?

[fringe salmon]

That’s not what he said in the first screenshot

[fading spade]

Yeah, true

still neat

we got a PS Convert here!!

[fringe salmon]

[still spire]

@maiden tulip https://youtu.be/KgKnfXTj_H4

[fading spade]

Sadly the game is singlethreaded due to the engine

[buoyant osprey]

My favourite thing about PC is the fact that I don't have to buy games. That's a huge money saver people never account for when weighing the pros and cons of console vs PC.

[fading spade]

I dont pirate games, unless there is a game I realllllyyyyyyyyyy want to play but its made / published by some shit AAA company that bloats down the legal version with DRM and anticheat that impacts the performance so much that the pirated version runs way better

[nimble current]

its a tweaked doom engine, not like you'll be having performance issues

[fading spade]

but thats never happened yet

[still spire]

lol

[buoyant osprey]

I just want to save the money and spend it on other things.

[fading spade]

:P

🤔

At least this person realises that PS exclusive isnt good for live service games

[buoyant osprey]

I remember arguing with someone who said that PCs don't have exclusives.

[fading spade]

Yes it does LOL

There are thousands of games on PC that consoles dont have xd

[buoyant osprey]

Yep.

Let me she if I can find the arguments that person put forth.

[fringe salmon]

you know, could also just not give a shit about random people comment about consoles sony still has the possibility that the ps5 ends up outselling what the ps2 did or get near it so whatever some rando thinks wont have a big influence

[fading spade]

I remember Wulff Den and BeatEmUps always saying that they would LOVEEEEE to play more games but they have to wait for if / when they come to Switch or consoles and most never do so they never play the games

And then the Steam Deck came around and both these youtubers now play the games they always wanted to on Deck

[trim rock]

Who?

[fading spade]

Wulff Den is a popular handheld console / pc reviewer

BeatEmUps is a popular Switch reviewer

[fading spade]

wtf is that last take?!

[buoyant osprey]

'A game does not become a PC exclusive because it's playable only on PC'

[fading spade]

A game is not PC Exclusive if you can only play it on PC
bruh?

you high?

[buoyant osprey]

That went on for like 30 minutes btw. What a frustrating experience.

I don't give a shit if they never intended for it to only be on PC or not. If it's only on PC then it's a PC exclusive.

[fading spade]

...

^ yeah

its still PC Exclusive if the devs wanted to go to console but just didnt feel like trying to meet requirements

[buoyant osprey]

Welp I guess there's no PC exclusives... The Sonyponies won...

you can emulate Windows on console????

[hardy merlin]

You can run UWP apps on Xbox afaik

[fringe salmon]

What do you think the Xbox runs..

[hardy merlin]

Something on heavily mutilated NT kernel

Still, you can't run Windows per se on it

[fading spade]

I know Xbox runs basically Windows but still, cant emulate PC only games on it

[pulsar prism]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-stupidity-stupid-gif-22567774

[buoyant osprey]

"we never get pc exclusives ever"

[fading spade]

Console is typically favored more than PC in most cases other than Indie games

so thats somewhat true

[drifting rose]

PC exclusives are not really exclusives despite there not being a console version
I guess this idiot wasn't around when Crysis was released

[buoyant osprey]

I understand what they mean but I still find it silly.

When I say PC exclusive I just mean 'exclusive to PC' or 'only on PC'. Nothing deeper than that.

[orchid prism]

What "PLATFORM EXCLUSIVE" means is different depending on who you ask and in what context.
Whether or not it is a question of intent or not.

[drifting rose]

it's just a mind-alteringly stupid take

[fading spade]

Still PC exclusive could still be exclusive to specific OS too

Like how Minecraft Bedrock is exclusive to Windows and doesnt support Mac and Linux

At that point its better to say Windows Exclusive and not PC Exclusive

[drifting rose]

in these days, consoles are physically identical to PCs, it's only the OS that makes the difference

[fading spade]

Yeah

[drifting rose]

the fact we're still calling them consoles is a bit of a stretch

[fading spade]

Isnt the PS5 based on ARM?

[fringe salmon]

No

[fading spade]

they are still consoles due to the OS and controller based experience

[fringe salmon]

Same thing as the steam deck in both consoles basically

[fading spade]

Yeh

[fringe salmon]

So it can’t be arm..

[hardy merlin]

Switch is ARM

PS5 would be funny if it was ARM-based

[fading spade]

I fail to see how PS5 could not be ARM if they wanted it to be, FreeBSD runs on ARM just fine

[fringe salmon]

I just said it has the same SoC as your steam deck basically

[fading spade]

yeah yeah

I get that

[fringe salmon]

So it can’t be arm then since your steam deck isn’t arm

[fading spade]

Surely its a lot more powerful than the Deck SoC though

[drifting rose]

not by thaaaat much

[hardy merlin]

It'd heavily impact game development though

[fading spade]

Cause it can actually run Apex Legends at 60FPS 1080p inlike the Deck ....

Deck cant run Apex very well in 1080p 😢

usually like 30-40fps

at extra low settings

[hardy merlin]

Last time I played it was happily chooching 800p75

[fading spade]

yeh, NOT docked it runs fine

[fringe salmon]

its mostly that it can go to 200W and is more custom than the off the shelf SoC in the steam deck

idk how many more gpu cores they have since it differes same as clock speeds

[fading spade]

Deck SoC is still not entirely off the shelf though, it was never publically available for purchase at shops

[fringe salmon]

off the shelf for integrators

[fading spade]

ok yeah

I wish KDE Connect could have the images appear in the notifications too

....wait nvm, it can?! thats odd, how come it didnt for the first one?!

[fringe salmon]

but the cpu and gpu arent doing anything custom unlike in the consoles so its just stock zen2/rdna2 and some different IO

[fading spade]

you sure?

the suspend and resume feature on Deck is custom

Linux can do it somewhat already, but not to the extent the Deck can

[fringe salmon]

thats a software thing

[fading spade]

really?

I thought the hardware would be involved to some degree also

[fringe salmon]

windows can do it its just not working with many games since its not made for it

[hardy merlin]

I can do it on Arch just like on Deck

[fading spade]

oh?

[drifting rose]

unrelated question
what are you daily driving?

[hardy merlin]

Arch, since over 2 years now

[drifting rose]

I must have misunderstood you the other day then, nevermind

[hardy merlin]

[fading spade]

She uses Arch btw

:P

[drifting rose]

I guess I do too but it's a frankendistro

[fading spade]

oh?

[trim rock]

So it's Arch

[fading spade]

FrankenArch

[hardy merlin]

Had to check
So yeah, "suspend" on Deck is nothing more than your usual S3 sleep in other Linux distros
Jun 06 17:34:10 Willow kernel: ACPI: PM: Preparing to enter system sleep state S3

[fading spade]

Willow kernel?

[hardy merlin]

Willow is my deck's hostname
Jun 06 17:33:56 Willow systemd[949]: Started Konsole - Terminal.

[fading spade]

oooohhhhhhh

I like it

[fringe salmon]

Yup same thing windows does too just no big focus on it so it often breaks but there are games that work on laptops with it

[hardy merlin]

Well yeah, S3 breaks CPU context and wipes CPU cache so it may cause issues in some games

[fringe salmon]

Maybe it gets some love now that more handhelds come out

[fading spade]

I once left Distance suspended on the Deck for like 3 days and it played fine when I got back to it

[hardy merlin]

99% games won't care about it, only several will
Once Bomb Rush Cyberfunk released I played it for 1~2 hours for 8 days or so, keeping Deck in suspend the whole time I wasn't using it

[fading spade]

Aha

[proper basin]

I just cant get enuf of that game

[fading spade]

How come when you go to Steam website on phone, it has a link on the page to open that page in the Steam app
But if you visit the same page on desktop, there is no link to open that page in the Steam client?!

Wtf BS is this, Valve?

[trim rock]

Steam client is just a scuffed web browser, why would you want to?

[fading spade]

So I can add a game to my wishlist without needing to login to my account on my web browser

Or having to look up the game again on the steam client

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is similar to hifi rush and mirrors edge

Interesting xd

[trim rock]

I see, I'd prefer if that web browser portion of the client was deleted and it just opened (and autologged in) your usual browser

[fallow bronze]

Steam browser is slow.. But not as slow as in the past...

Before.. When it was an embedded windows internet Explorer window

[drifting rose]

it's still sort of janky, but everyone got used to it

[hardy merlin]

To be fair, if I want to buy a game on Steam, I do it through web browser, not client
Client browser can shit itself for any reason

[maiden tulip]

I'm worried about this game

It's made by devs who've never made a racing game before

And it's... online only

Just feels like they bought the test drive brand and are about to slap it on sloh

[quiet vault]

some videos looked pretty cool

imma download the demo later

[nimble current]

FH was such a disappointment to me

got so many beautifully modelled cars but driving them feels like shit

and they all have the same feel

how do i turn off my fn lock, like my wasd are arrow keys

[quiet vault]

uhm how did you put in your email

idk why but i wont let me type @

or even copy it in

very weird

seems like using strg + alt is just blocked lol

[quiet vault]

pretty cool game tbh

[maiden tulip]

@quiet vault i tried the game

Can't even reach 60fps on a 7900xtx

Don't even bother xD

[quiet vault]

i have 60+ on 1440p high

only problems i had is some races not connecting

[maiden tulip]

@quiet vault whats your rig

[quiet vault]

7800x3d 3090

[maiden tulip]

Game was barely using 60% of my CPU

[quiet vault]

but 100% gpu?

[maiden tulip]

Kinda?

At native 5120x1440 i was

[quiet vault]

damn das wide

[maiden tulip]

Enabling FSR just leads to the gpu dropping to like 90% usage

But it barely uses my cpu correctly so

Idk

[quiet vault]

ig they havent really optimized it yet

[maiden tulip]

Others online are saying similar things in the steam forums

First thread literally is poor optimization

Also the fucking arm animations

star wars jedi survivor performance moment

[grizzled quarry]

The last good horizon game

[nimble current]

I swear judging from the driving in that video they haven't changed the mechanics one bit since the second game

[grizzled quarry]

3 was meh, but I still liked it

[grizzled quarry]

Not really no

They feel different but in general not really

[nimble current]

still gets its ass handed to it by games 2 decades ago

its like a car/racing game for people who don't even like driving, all the stuff around the driving is where the effort is put in

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah they focused more on a shitty story line than just making driving feel good

[nimble current]

such shame, game looks great but the driving mechanics was enragingly bad

threw the game off my drive after some 10 hours

[bleak pike]

forza has aways been casual raci g

[nimble current]

thing is it doesn't even do arcadey casual driving well

its like its stuck in some awkward limbo between trying to be casual and more involving at the same time

and it pleases neither

[bleak pike]

negative nancy

[quiet vault]

i kinda like forzas handling tbh

[nimble current]

yes its depressing when people take something with potential and squander it

[quiet vault]

one of the points i wouldnt change

[grizzled quarry]

I liked drifting on it because it was easy, but id way rather go play beamng which not only feels incredibly good with it's physics but also has damage models

Beamng is overall the best drifting game I've played

[nimble current]

I swear I cant drift for more than a millisecond in forza before the car goes into auto spin around mode it really fuckin ticked me off

[grizzled quarry]

You kinda just gotta flick the stick back and forth and it's easy asf

[nimble current]

yes switching to beamng after was like going from being blindfolded to seeing clearly

[grizzled quarry]

Forza doesn't really require much control at all rather just flick the stick a bunch to correct it

[nimble current]

can't do that with a racing wheel sadly

[grizzled quarry]

Beamng is hands down my favorite racing game

[quiet vault]

ye forza is great with controller

but with a wheel i prefer other games too

[nimble current]

I never use controllers, like ever

considered getting one for years

[quiet vault]

microsoft game sooo

[grizzled quarry]

I use my controller on beamng most of the time and it still feels great

[nimble current]

but never quite materialises

[grizzled quarry]

I just don't have a good spot for my wheel in this house

And don't wanna spend money for a wheel stand thing

[nimble current]

to be fair my wheels been collecting dust for almost 2 years at this point

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah I barely used mine, not enough to justify a wheel stand

[nimble current]

I'd really like a rig for it, its quite a hassle setting it up for some quick casual rounds

[grizzled quarry]

Controller on beamng is fun enough for me

[nimble current]

dirt rally 2.0 is actually amazing with a wheel but you're completely exhausted after two stages

[quiet vault]

truee

[grizzled quarry]

I wish beamng had more first party maps

The modded ones suck ass 99% of the time

After 1000h of playing all the maps it's not as fun

Need a good rally stage map/more city maps

[nimble current]

more rally stages would be great

or just more countryside locations you can turn into rally stages

[frosty breach]

I’ve played test drive unlimited crown and i get 35fps average in 4k high graphics without dlss

And if i turn dlss to performance i get around 60ish

Hopefully the game will be fully optimized when it releases and man the gameplay is so nice with the dualshock5 controller

[quiet vault]

is the "force feedback" good with it?

with xbox controller i found it a bit weird

no as good as forza and all

[frosty breach]

It feels good like natural like an heavy clutch

[quiet vault]

hard to feel when im losing traction

[frosty breach]

It also gets harder when you need to shift

[quiet vault]

the triggers?

[frosty breach]

[quiet vault]

okay xbox doesnt have that

how is vibration feedback

[frosty breach]

Its an dualshock 5 feature from ps5 controller

[grizzled quarry]

Probably not

[frosty breach]

Helldivers 2 became boring after the nerfs of weapons, bring back the vanilla arc thrower so dont care about that game anymore since like April

[hardy merlin]

The one that was crashing the game?

[frosty breach]

Yea ironically 😂

I was killing bile titans back to back while dodging chargers solo

Now arc thrower cant even shoot straight from 5 meters

🤦‍♂️

[hardy merlin]

There's no fun with arc thrower now when teammates can put on armor with 95% arc resistance

They're sucking the fun out of game in the name of bALaNcE

[frosty breach]

Glad im not the only one who notices this

[hardy merlin]

Their Discord is constantly crying about how the game is too easy, and their CMs don't really help
Something along the lines of "You want AR with medium armor penetration? No, it'll be broken af"

I don't care, I want more dakka

[nimble current]

its a bit early to call this already but I know the HD2 community is a bunch of whiny little pricks at this polnt

people can't get over that the honeymoon period is done so they pin their lack of funsies on some poorly rebalanced guns

[obsidian stirrup]

tbh the game was super fun on release, it being balanced and made in some sense, ridiculous sucked the fun out of a PvE CooP game imo

[severe compass]

It's a valid complaint though, each of these ARs underperform. They don'tdo much different and feel like downgrades from the first AR.

"Medium armour penetration" also feels fairly meaningless when enemies seem to either have no armour or heavy armour

[nimble current]

am kinda sadge about the eruptor still, but a couple guns getting nerfed isn't exactly enough to ruin the entire game, if you can't have fun anymore using any build its not really the game that's at fault

[severe compass]

It just kinda sucks having a favourite gun, and then having it nerfed so badly you have to go back to the default weapons you've been using since launch to keep a competitive edge

I suppose maybe the games honeymoon period is over, but I would love these guns to have some separation in identity.

[nimble current]

I too am hoping for a bit more distinction between the ARs

the eruptor had so much uniqueness and fun in its playstyle but they completely removed that too

not saying they haven't goofed up quite a bit but I feel like a lot of people let this overshadow the rest completely

[hardy merlin]

Also also
It's a PvE game, not PvP
You don't have to keep balancing things, let people enjoy some broken things too

[nimble current]

all games should strive for good balance imo

but that doesn't mean you can't have some occasional fun, make a weapon that's kinda broken but give it clear distinct weaknesses

like the eruptor

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, good balance, not making every weapon in the game the same, and giving the feeling that they're underpowered
I don't see fun if I have to shoot a whole mag in a single enemy, I see a bullet sponge

[small comet]

cal you dont understand how gamers work.... cant let anyone else enjoy the game how they want

[nimble current]

I also feel like people have misunderstood the premise of the game a bit, I often see people say you're a wildly overpowered warlord living out your power fantasy, you're not

you're a cheap and expendable cannon fodder that happens to have some broken guns, but you're also ruled over by a tyrannical and hilariously cheap regime, they reinforce their turrets with packing peanuts for christ sake

[frosty breach]

When the game was launched it was fun to play, everything seemed oke and good power, and everyone has different kind of style of playing the game, I like going solo and roque killing big monsters while my team goes onto objectives, i do side objectives aswell but trust me arc thrower was so good and not too OP at all it was balanced like the vanilla version that was early stage, todays arc thrower cant even shoot straight to enemies beyond 5 meters and the charging makes it even worse, this video is proof how good the arc thrower was and fun to play:

https://rumble.com/v4j3099-killing-titans-in-a-row.html

And its pve not pvp, just make everything OP instead of nerfing and even bring out stronger enemies like diablo style

[severe compass]

I understand the stratagems are meant to be our big hitters, but when a couple of enemies are popping up that are completely bullet proof but you need to Dave your stratagems for buildings/holes and titans and mobile factories you don't want to waste them

[nimble current]

eagle strats have many charges and very short cooldown

my fav main loadout is usually the jar5 and redeemer, primary takes out medium targets quickly, redeemer sprays down the small annoying stuff

[bleak pike]

Lmao I could feel your panic

[tranquil salmon]

Imo the problems aren't the balance. It's the fact there are launch day bugs like the respawn bug that months into release they still haven't fixed. Nothings more fun than hosting a match getting 10 minutes in, and then nobody can respawn you if you die for the next 30 minutes and if you leave no rewards for anyone.

The devs don't really seem to have a solid idea of how there own game works

[nimble current]

that's what we're hoping the "big" patch will hopefully address at least partially, all the many occasional glitches that break the game

[bleak pike]

[small comet]

id gladly pay 10bucks or so a month for cloud storage

[tranquil salmon]

I mean 200mb per game is still pretty good. Hopefully they'll adjust a bit and do what steam does where different games get different allocation amounts.

[hardy merlin]

5M zł of profit in 2022, 10M in 2023
Not that bad

In 2021 they had 30M loss, since then they're doing well

It's barely keeping the lights on, and probably is still in the negative when you factor in that 30 million loss

halo remake that would be nice could use nice shooter. right now only one i was playing was apex legends .but the lastest update for new season broke my game some how haha my pc not liking it for some reason. the game loads and get into lobby an game freaks out sound jittery an game freezes up like it was playing from scratched disc and pc has be hard reset an no error reports like damn wth lol

[drifting rose]

hahaha holy shit

[small comet]

what happened

[grizzled bramble]

Valve not wanting to support TF2

[fringe salmon]

annual event of rioting for the chance of getting valve to fix it

[drifting rose]

youtube video came out calculating the amount of bots in the game, comes down to 70% bots to human players

[proper basin]

Yeah usual bot infestation

[drifting rose]

#savetf2 was not really a riot, that was the fans wanking all over the game

[small comet]

so nothing new was found out in the video

[fringe salmon]

riot, lout demand, idk what it was I just gave up hope years ago so am just doubtful anything happens

nah

[small comet]

i dont even think valve cares much for tf2

[fringe salmon]

sadly not and thats the issue

[small comet]

how so maybe they are working on tf3

[buoyant osprey]

Replaced by Deadlock.

[drifting rose]

it was commonly assumed that TF2 is a top ten popular game among its fans, until this guy went deep. turns out the cheating bots you see in the game are just a tiny minority

the vast majority are idling bots in private servers

[small comet]

this doesnt surprise me in the slightest

[fringe salmon]

it was assumed by people in denial*

[drifting rose]

it's all about the economy, which valve shaves money off

[small comet]

yeah what quin said

the game has been dead for years

csgo/cs2 is the love child that actually has players and thats why valve pushes it

[drifting rose]

yeah but that realization has finally penetrated the fans minds

[fringe salmon]

nah the love child is dota2

[small comet]

but also idk how bots is valves issue

if theres no players... valve cant fix that really

[fringe salmon]

its not just about those bots thats just on top of everything

[drifting rose]

yeah after years of terrible updates

[small comet]

ok but why review bomb now then... they could have written those reviews before as well

it being filled with players or bots doesnt change updates being shite

[fringe salmon]

failed promises, missing updates, no attempt to fix anything

because it's an organized strike in a sense

people have had enough and thats all they can do and being vocal sometimes helps

[drifting rose]

the issue was not really talked about before

most people go to better games, a portion stays behind and puts up with it

[small comet]

this feels like they havent changed anything and we havent complained all this time. lets complain now so they still wont change anything

[fringe salmon]

no people complained all the time

[drifting rose]

well it was "talked about" but they weren't really bugging valve about it, they were being too nice about it

[fringe salmon]

this is just a more organized strike instead of individual complaints so to say

yeah

[drifting rose]

eh I get the feeling if valve does nothing again, it will die for good

[fringe salmon]

it's a, nothing happened so far, what can we do, lets hope this does something or it's joever

[small comet]

i cant imagine anything big happening tbh

[fringe salmon]

me neither but if you still play the game might as try it, not like it can get worse

[drifting rose]

all they need to make the game not shit is revert the game to before the meet your match update lmao

(I'm being facetious)

[fringe salmon]

all they would need to do is hire literally one dev for the project who only works on tf2

cost would be covered by market fees of items alone still and community would be happy

wont fix it instantly but would be enough for constant improvements and some updates whenever something breaks or a new hack comes out

like just one mid-senior level dev and it would be enough

[drifting rose]

or they make the game 20bux again and boom, bots can't register

which would definitely be the worse decision tho

[fringe salmon]

if you want to cheap out dont hire a dev hire a mid/senior GM who works on tracking down bots and doesnt touch the code just fast tracks bans and stuff, even that would be something at least

[drifting rose]

there is also Team Comtress 2, based on leaked volvo source code

basically a fanpatched version

I'm giving that a shot next time I feel playing the game again

[fringe salmon]

yeah kinda like dungeon defenders1 was given to a community team

but thats not feasible with it being a live service game that makes money still

a version sure but cant put the main game into someones hands

[drifting rose]

maybe not, as a customer I'd still like it over leaving it in a horribly unmaintained state

[narrow junco]

valve tried the whole community update thing but it caused a lot of issues for them and drama

so they stopped and cut all contact

[drifting rose]

I'm leaving a negative review too, just to leave my 2 cents

[drifting rose]

oh interesting, I did not know that

[fringe salmon]

that was for l4d2 right?

dont remember the exact details

[narrow junco]

nah, tf2 had those ages ago

idk abt l4d2 but tf2 had them and it caused issues

[drifting rose]

https://tropic-crisis.tf2maps.net/

huh, I did not know that full unofficial community updates are a thing

[fringe salmon]

oh yeah right end of the line and stuff was a thing

[trim rock]

Yeah Valve only cares for Dota 2 and Deadlock right now, CS2 is still a mess

[drifting rose]

kinda disheartening, the people that are left playing TF2 really do seem to care

[trim rock]

Aight guys

I 100% Lies of P

What’s next

[small comet]

how about Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean

[austere grail]

Are they souls like?

Damn looks old

😭

[fringe salmon]

get elden ring ready for dlc and do NG+7 level 1

[pure bear]

hitless

while blindfolded

[austere grail]

So about Elden ring

[pure bear]

in a coma

[austere grail]

I used a modded weapon for my first playthrough and my friend said that was cheating. So I’ve never actually completed Elden ring

Idk if it’s the open world but I get overwhelmed and end up hoping off

Also shouldn’t I just wait to do a new playthrough for when the dlc comes out? Cuz of new weapons and stuff

[quiet vault]

didnt expect the switch to have the best graphics

[proper basin]

[proper basin]

dlc im pretty sure will be accessible during the mid or latter part of the game given fromsoft likes to do that. so doing a new playthrough now wont hinder your experience since youll get the new stuff just from playing the dlc itself

[chilly oasis]

is there a way to use the wooting double movement app in fortnite?

[fringe salmon]

check the pins about that

[orchid prism]

#🎮│game message

Divine intervention from the folks who broke it? Epic Games.

[chilly oasis]

[fringe salmon]

[proper basin]

[fringe salmon]

[chilly oasis]

[orchid prism]

Read the message I linked you to.

[proper basin]

[orchid prism]

Epic broke it. Doesn't matter if you're playing on a keyboard or a fridge.

[austere grail]

Guess ill do a dark moon greatsword

[proper basin]

i did dragon arcana build because the dragon incantations for elden ring are so diverse

[austere grail]

[grizzled quarry]

didnt the blue gem kara sell for 2.1m to the current owner

[frosty breach]

I think that was just an estimated price or asking price i don’t remember but this was listed earlier this year

[grizzled quarry]

i remember someone declined a $1.2m offer but i thought it sold afterwards for over 2m

[grizzled bramble]

W000T! haven't had time to play through Hellblade II but that'll have to be put on hold now because of the AW2 DLC

[pure bear]

hellblade 2 can be completed in the time that takes to install

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah, Hellblade II is short but i've got AW2 installed already

Seems like the DLC is ~2½hrs long

[bleak pike]

So much for the protective case I had on it for ages

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/P3xCxmC54V8

Skyrim and Fallout teaches you to be paranoid at all times

[pure bear]

did sth get intbetween?

[bleak pike]

Huh

[pure bear]

like sand/dust?

[grizzled bramble]

Looks kinda like the case have had some play/been a bit loose

[bleak pike]

Oh ye probably

[willow quiver]

idk where to ask this but im pretty new to this keyboard, but how do you make like the games recongize the custom controlls from the wooting keyboard. I remapped my keys but the game doesn't recongize them as controller controls

[pure bear]

are you sure the profile you want to use is active

that is the most common issue

the keyboard sends controller commands, that should be recognized

[willow quiver]

do i just click on the profile to make it active?

if thats the case then yes

[pure bear]

no

[willow quiver]

how do i make sure its active

[pure bear]

it needs to be among the top 4 and it is selected by moving to it with the profile keys

[willow quiver]

ohhhhh

[pure bear]

show your wootility rq

[willow quiver]

its the "mixed movenment"

[pure bear]

oh yeah well then you just need to select it with cycle or a3

then it's on

if it still wont work, it might be the game thats the issue

[orchid prism]

Not even. Just selecting it in Wootility does it as well.

[willow quiver]

thats what im doing but it seems not to be wokring

mighjt be a game tthing then

im trying to play a really old fighter

[pure bear]

well yeah but i mean when they dont have wootility on

[orchid prism]

Did you enable controller mode in the Settings? Bottom left corner.

[willow quiver]

hold on

[willow quiver]

i set it to xbox contgroller

ok

i tried playing another game

with the thing

it does work

thanks a lot

i assume the other game i am trying to play is too old

lol

[orchid prism]

What the heck is this. A VR Skyrim missing the sword and sorcery branding?

[still spire]

Huh? It's been out for years in EA, this is just the full release

It's quite good

[orchid prism]

I don't do VR. But sword and sorcery is a series of choose your adventure from like the 90s. D&D for one.

[still spire]

Yeah

Some really good mods for it too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u95bGuq-2ZE

[orchid prism]

It's like making a Skyrim mod for a book about licking choices. Very bizarre

[still spire]

It's just a good VR game, don't really get what you're on about

[orchid prism]

The name and branding 😄

[fading spade]

Yeah.
...... It does this :/

Idk why it uses proton for games with native Linux builds

[fallow bronze]

Sometimes.... The Linux build is very outdated

Looking at you forager

[still spire]

Usah

A lot of games I've played the Linux version is out of date

So it only makes sense really

[drifting rose]

yeah and I'd rather have decent proton support than a neglected linux port

just don't use a fucked up anticheat and we're all good

[still spire]

[trim rock]

Alright what did they do now..

[still spire]

Well they released as F2P

But it was actually just a demo

[trim rock]

Of F2P that's actually a demo

[still spire]

So a bunch of people started playing, only to find out it's a demo and being asked for money

Yeah

[trim rock]

So they're trying to pull a Destiny 2

[still spire]

They even later had to change the page

Initially it said the full game was free to play

Which of course, was misleading as hell

After about a day - they added this

There was no mention of the F2P restrictions anywhere, the game simply said experience Darker and Darker - free to play ect

Also, amazingly, they are so shit at this

[trim rock]

Makes sense I thought the limitations were pretty clear - before they did the Steam release

[still spire]

So it takes 3 days

After you buy the game

For your F2P restrictions to be lifted

Because of their processing system for accounts

You drop your 30$ and get nothing for 3 days, understandably upset. You also have to pay through their thing, which is shady as fuck

[buoyant osprey]

Imagine if the Skyrim VR version had combat like this instead of being the same damn game in a super low effort port.

[proper basin]

That assumes bethesda would put in effort

[buoyant osprey]

Skyrim VR from what I remember is just regular Skyrim but you can clumsily swing weapons around now.

But there's no reactivity to it since the game is still basically the same.

Your sword just clips through them with no feedback like in Sword & Sorcery.

And I remember that if you shake your hand really quickly it counts as many swings so it's OP.

(I have no problems with that aside from being badly implemented)

[nimble current]

I mean starfield was bethesdas peak output, the game todd wanted to make the most and poured everything they had into, that says it all really

[proper basin]

[trim rock]

Yeah Starfield VR when

[proper basin]

They flexed their muscles very hard with that game
