Minx - 2024

Seriously though:
If you were housesitting and you find books called "How to kill a housesitter" and "300 jumpscare ideas" in the house, would you leave??? xd

[quiet vault]

nah thats a challenge

sounds fun

[hardy merlin]

I'd read them first to know what to expect

[fading spade]

LOL yeah

I love how manlybadasshero and Minx both react similar to the infinite watering can xd

[hardy merlin]

And later be all smug about it to every murder attempt

That trap was so obvious I can't believe you thought I'd fell for that

[fading spade]

TIL Minx drinks Raspberry Prime....

and idk how to feel about that info

cause Prime is gross

[hardy merlin]

Raspberry Prime?
Is that a new Warframe?

[fading spade]

LOL

who knows

[hardy merlin]

Never drank Prime, don't want to either

[heavy gull]

isn't the prime they sell in europe entirely different than the one they sell in the US

Energy drinks suck

[willow quiver]

Energy drinks mak e me sleepy

€6 for 0.5l?!
I can have like 3 2L bottles of Kofola for that

[willow quiver]

What is kofola

[hardy merlin]

Something similar to cola, but better

And a bit of Dr. Pepper I guess

There are Kofola kegs?!

20L for €40 and 50L for €80

[young crow]

[tranquil salmon]

It's basically Gatorade. They have prime energy which is a sub line of energy drinks tho. All of its overpriced sucralose garbage water.

[young crow]

energy drinks are literally the worst shit you can do to yourself

just buy caffeine pills

[hardy merlin]

Or gels

[pulsar prism]

Just drink bean juice

[young crow]

it’s truly amazing: you can get just the psychoactive component without 100 grams of sugar

[quiet vault]

water

[hardy merlin]

Remember to optimize your drug intake

[vapid lintel]

Well I guess that's better than unoptimized drug intake

[pulsar prism]

The funny thing is the prime electrolyte drink is sugar free, but electrolytes basically don't do anything without sugar

[hardy merlin]

I mean

You can use salt instead

[young crow]

just drink capacitor juice

[hardy merlin]

I have some konjac jelly
It's supposed to be peach flavored, but it tastes like battery acid with a hint of peach

[heavy gull]

whenever i want energy i just drink leaf water

Why does every single horror game ever need to have a "Find all the fuses" puzzle?

Especially if its in a place youve already explored and once you get to the puzzle, the fuses are magically there hidden around the place which werent there before

and creepy dolls...

fuse puzzles and creepy dolls

[fringe salmon]

"why do most 2d platformers have spikes as an obstacle"

[fading spade]

yeh xd

[fringe salmon]

because it's using the most common aspects for your genre makes sense? aka dolls and lack of light

[buoyant osprey]

I'm so tired of dolls.

I don't find them creepy at all.

Same with clowns.

I feel like being scared of clowns is an American thing.

[proper basin]

[buoyant osprey]

Because people there have clowns over for their birthdays.

yep, they did

[hot spire]

when?

i never played but freirnds do

and they have complained for decades

[feral drum]

Before the whole crap started we had ingame newspapers with background stories, each week a 20 minute stream of news about changes, events and even fan art showcases. Detailed background stories of each legend, etc.

but it slowly ended around 2012-2013 when the price pool went from 300k to 2 mio.

suddenly everyone pretended to be a pro and hopped into LoL

basically the era of Rito caring about the community ended with the win of Moscow 5

Valve is being sued in the UK for $843M after allegedly using Steam's market dominance to overcharge players

Twitter · Jun 14, 2024, 2:46 PM

[hot spire]

valve dosent set the pricing on 3rd party games though?

[small comet]

also pretty sure consoles are way worse in terms of market dominance

[fringe salmon]

just like other times it was reposted via various outlets from the same source, it's appears to be about price parity enforcements just like the wolfire lawsuit in the US about it

not related to whatever another market or competitor does

[small comet]

still cant imagine that being an issue tbh

[fringe salmon]

the issue in the sense stems from that clause allowing valve to take a 30% cut which is not line with what the offered service provides but due to the monopoly situation there is no other choice but to take that

so less money for dev/publicher and/or higher cost to consumer

[small comet]

but there is another choice

just not using steam

[fringe salmon]

hence the argument due to steam controlling the vast majority of the users you dont have that as a viable choice

[small comet]

so being the best platform we have is being punished basically

[fringe salmon]

monopoly status does not apply only if there is literally nothing else

being the best platform that is taking an unreasonable payment for its service

[maiden tulip]

Driveclub? It was ok

Not a bad game

But not a great one

Physics felt wonky

[fringe salmon]

like this isn't an attempt to kill steam or enforce them to make a competitor or something

[small comet]

i also though monopoly literally means youre the only one in the market without competition

[fringe salmon]

doesnt have to be literally the only one

just effectively

depends on what exactly you look at

like, if telekom would own every isp cable except the one I'm selling to 5 people in germany

that is technically making them not the only one in the market

[small comet]

yeah but we are far from that situation

[fringe salmon]

are we though

[small comet]

i mean the issue is no one else offers as good of a platform

thats why steam is so big

[fringe salmon]

yes

[small comet]

so the only solution for steam to not be a monopoly would be being shit

[fringe salmon]

the issue is not they are the only one

the issue is they are the only big one and what they force/charge for using their platform

that is the argument

[small comet]

which makes sense to me though... its not like you only get access to users

[grizzled quarry]

So because they are the only good one they can't charge for publishing on it?

[small comet]

you get a big ass cdn

[fringe salmon]

nobody said they cant charge money foir it either...

[small comet]

ok lets say they charge less or equal to every other digital storefront for games...

now steam is even better

[fringe salmon]

what is at issue is a "excessive commission" as the person fropm the lawsuit puts it

yeah

and that is better for consumers

[small comet]

is it?

[buoyant osprey]

Overcharging players? How?

[small comet]

steam prob becoming an actual monopoly

like literally pushing everyone else out because to avoid such future lawsuites theyd adjust to take the same cut as other platforms or less

[fringe salmon]

it is not illegal to be in a monopolistic state due to being the only good choice

[small comet]

yes but its posed as if this is bad for the consumer

when i dont see how its bad

[fringe salmon]

ok so lets say the devs make a game and want to sell it, they look at how many sales they expect and what they need to recoup salaries and all, they decide 40$ per sale is working

now you need to put it on steam for 40$+30% valve cut

so the consumer pays more

[orchid prism]

Not by itself, but it is a great way to get legal repercussions such as that whole exclusivity thing they're doing with price matching

[fringe salmon]

yes thats my point, it usually leads to them doing bad things etc. but if we imagine a fictional good company they could be a monopol without facing issues

[orchid prism]

If you are a defacto monopoly, and your terms and doings are visibly discouraging a healthy market with competition, you're eventually going to find yourself at the mercy of the FTC and EU.

And that's why a lot of such companies really try to toe the line to avoid the spotlight.

(kind of jumped in mod convo there)

[fringe salmon]

so the short answer, what would be good for the consumer would be steam being forced to take a lower cut which goes to either the consumer that buys the game in form of lower prices, the dev in form of higher payment or both

as the current structure is very much way above what valve would need to make a profit

[orchid prism]

I think the result will be that they're forced to remove that clause and allow developers to put whatever price they wish on competing platforms.

Lawyers will argue that since Valve aren't paying for the file hosting, they're not losing money directly for competitors setting a lower price - that's a free market, and they're welcome to offer better terms to publishers.

[small comet]

but they are paying for the file hosting

[orchid prism]

Only if it's a steam key* being sold.

As I recall this price limit is not just for keys. So Epic and GOG who run their own ecosystems are affected as well.

[fringe salmon]

they are not paying for stuff not on steam and they are not incurring higher costs if 5 or 10 people buy a game, unlike a physical store they dont sit on physical goods that needs to be bought or have space etc.

[orchid prism]

Indeed. They have it even easier than brick and mortar stores (who typically have an agreement to sell back unsold items at a loss to cover really bad launches)

[small comet]

but a brick and mortar store doesnt need to pay bandwidth costs because people download PBs of data every month

actually wonder how much data steams CDN has as outbound

[fringe salmon]

yeah but those costs are negligible and since they arent even asking to drop price parity and the 30% cut at once that still covers for sales elsewhere

its not like they are trying to force steam to let everyone use it for free

[orchid prism]

"Because you've decided to sell your game on our platform, you cannot sell it anywhere else at a lower price - even if whoever that merchant is has their own infrastructure and are not reselling our keys"

[fringe salmon]

yup and if more and more people are willing to buy it elsewhere it causes incentive for valve to offer a reason to buy it on their site, so it lets the market regulate itself

and if its just them having ease of use thats still something and people can choose to save some money buy getting it in a more annoying way

(personally I just think steam should invert their cut and have low sales take a small cut and millions of sales subsidize that instead of more sales = lower cut)

because that change was absolutely just for the big AAA publishers like ubisoft and EA to get them back on steam

[drifting rose]

for me steam the only one I can feasibly run

[fringe salmon]

I just want steamt to stay good but people not havin to pay more and/ore indie devs to get more

[frosty breach]

U crazy? It was for me the driving game ever, I learned how to drive through that hahaha the physics were realistic, i was always scared to drive an hypercar at night in the rain

[maiden tulip]

Idk wtf you're smoking

It's an arcade racer

[frosty breach]

Never it aint no arcade

[maiden tulip]

You are high

Holy shit

[frosty breach]

Its hybrid between arcade and simulator but its more into sim racing, only when you’re crashing or bumping into another car it becomes arcade”ie

[maiden tulip]

I'm just not even gonna argue with you because you are probably just a kid since you said i learned how to drive on driveclub

[frosty breach]

Yea have you driven a car irl sporty?

[maiden tulip]

Yeah

[frosty breach]

I own an gti my self mk7 and drives exactly the same as in game and or irl

[maiden tulip]

Hey i own a gti too

Mk5

Go play asseto corsa an actual sim racer

With a proper wheel and pedal setup

[frosty breach]

I’ve played many of sim racing and example gt series like 6 or 7 doesn’t feel right to me its too slow

[maiden tulip]

I'm not talking about GT

[frosty breach]

Driveclub the steering and sense of speed feels realistic

I’ve driven an sls amg hard out in france and the car was mid, only good engine noise , but the car is too heavy and the steering is horrible

[maiden tulip]

GT is nowhere near a sim either

It's got some sim elements but it ain't it

[frosty breach]

All I’m saying driveclub feels realistic to me and it is, I learned how to drive with it

[maiden tulip]

The last part of your sentence

Is a meme

whatchu talking about

[fading spade]

Valve are being sued for 871 million pounds by some shitlord in the UK for allegedly anticompetitive practices....

Meanwhile Epic Games are paying developers to keep their games solely on their shitty garbage launcher that doesn't even have controller support

[fallow bronze]

salty?

[fading spade]

Yes

[tall anchor]

[nimble current]

stop simping for corporations lana

valve are megabillionaires, they can handle themselves

[drifting rose]

also they deserve a bit shit now and then, keeps them in line

[proper basin]

Im getting deja vu

[fading spade]

Yeh
But anticompetitive practices....really?!!!

[nimble current]

yep, even valve pulls dick moves and needs to know their place

[fading spade]

The only anticompetitive shit Valve does is having a launcher that other competitors can't replicate because they are too focused on artificially boosting their user base

[fallow bronze]

what are they accused of really?

[fading spade]

Making it so other digital game stores can't sell a game via steam key for cheaper than the game is on steam

[drifting rose]

aka some amazon tier shit

[fading spade]

Like for example
Fanatic can't sell a steam key for 40 dollars if it's for a game that's 50 dollars on steam

If they sell the game itself for cheaper
That's fine

Just not a steam key of the game

[fallow bronze]

that does sound anti competitive to me

[nimble current]

and anti consumer

[fading spade]

Is it though??
Games always go on sale on steam

So you'll get it cheaper on steam regardless

[fringe salmon]

not this again

[nimble current]

and? people should have the right to buy it elsewhere if they want to, shouldn't be forced to go through steam to get a better deal

[fading spade]

They don't have to go to steam if the other site sells the game directly

[fallow bronze]

wtf does sales have to do with it

[fading spade]

If it's a steam key
They need to price match steam

If it's the game
They can sell it cheaper

playing fallout 1 reminds me of how good we have it nowadays

i hopped on new vegas to do a dlc on my savefile after playing a session of fallout 1 and i swear new vegas looked like real life compared against it LOL

though I have an opinion - if every game in the future will look realistic as possible with no creative direction except to look as lifelike as possible then games will be boring

[fading spade]

^

I really like when games have their own unique art style :D

[tardy basin]

I'm going to take a break from playing fallout 1 however cause i'm a bit salty that I lost an hr of progress because of my own arrogance

I was doing too good and was like "pft, i don't need to save because there's nothing that kill me" and then i get killed by the most fodder enemy, i think it was a raider

[nimble current]

fallout 1 is merciless

need to save a lot

if you've played it a thousand times like I have its rather easy to cheese things, but you don't want to do that for a first playthrough

[tardy basin]

I followed a guide to build my character I think I did pretty well

I completely ransacked that abandoned vault and then I tried beelining for that ghoul town but I forgot where it was

And that's where I died to a random encounter

[nimble current]

yep my recommendation is if you encounter a bunch of baddies as a new char just try to run away like a pussy lol

[tardy basin]

I had a companion and got cocky lol

I was mostly missing since I was too far

Also mixed with some unluckiness, i had %60 hit rate but none of the hits landed

yeah until you've specced firearms skill a couple times aiming is painfully random

[tall anchor]

I like this 20 year old game called runescape

[tardy basin]

What's the % you should aim for ? i had about 125 in small guns

[tall anchor]

[nimble current]

been ages since I last played but 125 should be pretty good from what I recall, you want to get 95% even from a pretty notable range

iirc the perception perk helps with accuracy overall but not entirely sure

I mostly specc small guns, lockpicking, gambling and stealth

big/energy guns a bit later game

[tardy basin]

That's what I had !!
If you want more info here were my stats:
5 str
7 per
6 end
2 chr
9 int
10 agl
9 lck
Traits were Small Frame and Gifted,
Skills were Small Guns, Lockpick and Speech

When I was level 3 I picked that trait which made you start first

It was pretty useless I might rethink which trait I choose

[nimble current]

low charisma will sabotage your speech skill a bit, but overall I'd say its a decent build

[tardy basin]

I just heard charisma is pretty much useless

[nimble current]

from what I know it can affect speech and your persuasiveness but yeah I think its one of those specials that were a bit halfbaked in the og game

[drifting rose]

@tardy basin good build, you're doing everything right, don't save during combat tho

[tardy basin]

Yeah I should have saved when I cleared the vault

[drifting rose]

charisma is indeed the dump stat. try playing with intelligence under 4 if you ever do a second playthrough, it's hilarious

[tardy basin]

will it make you speak like a caveman?

lol

[drifting rose]

actually yes, and people in the wasteland will react to it

it's one feature that only Fallout 1 and 2 have, and I so wish newer fallouts had aswell

though the dialogue of the bethesda games is int 3 level anyway 😛

[tardy basin]

I mean fallout NV had one NPC where if you talked to him with int 1 he would speak like a victorian poet

[drifting rose]

oh I vaguely remember something about that

FNV is the standout title from the 3d ones

[nimble current]

yeah intelligence at 1 in og fallout basically limits your interactions to grunts and guttural noises

when they say 1 intelligence they do mean it

[tardy basin]

It had some of the people from Interplay (the company that made the first fallout) working on the story(?) or something along those lines

[drifting rose]

a lot of my time playing fallout 2 was playing retarded super-powered drug addicts with inhuman strength

yeah Obsidian (the developer) was at the time a studio made mostly of former Black Isle employees, who made Fallout 2

[nimble current]

yeah new vegas had a lot of the og writing team

[tardy basin]

Honestly every time bethesda releases a game it's like playing russian roulette:
loading the theoretical gun which is the game and pulling the trigger being playing through the intro
A blank would be if the story and gameplay flows nicely
A real round would instead inflict you with psychological damage with how terrible it is

[drifting rose]

I was kinda looking forward to starfield garfield whatever for a couple of weeks before release, but then it turns out the game has nothing in it

[nimble current]

as someone who grew up with the og games I found beth did a decent job with the 3rd game (which is also the only beth fallout I've played through)

[drifting rose]

fo3 was fun but definitely peculiar in a few places

[nimble current]

I wouldn't say it played much like a fallout game at all but the atmosphere and aesthetic was pretty good

[tardy basin]

I hated rivet city so much ... The loading screens

[nimble current]

my main gripes with beth fallout is the weak writing and enviromental storytelling that makes no sense a lot of the time, particularly in FO4/76

[drifting rose]

that's the weird thing, the bigass boat town was an idea plagiarized from fo2

and when they come up with their own ideas, it's people taking an airport and building a town around an unexploded bomb

quest giver: "I'm a stereotype, blow up that bomb for me"

[nimble current]

I don't get how a studio who's been focusing on character driven rpgs for decades has such shitty writing

[drifting rose]

the part where I got genuinely angry was talking the computer president into blowing up his people

the writing in that was elementary school level

again an idea lifted from fo2, and executed so utterly shitty

[nimble current]

yeah, its genuinely jarring coming from the og games

yes the old games are very archaic and dated in many ways, but the writing is still sharp and witty as heck

[drifting rose]

for all the shit people give fo4's dialogue system, the writing in that game was plain but at least passable

[fading spade]

TIL susbtitles can be low res despite the game being in 1080p .... and way way way too close to the edge of the display

[drifting rose]

yeah I loved that part about it, and how much of a total asshole you can be

like calling a woman named "Phyllis" syphilis for no reason

[drifting rose]

that still makes me laugh

[fading spade]

now it is cut off, not just on the edge

[nimble current]

yeah they really don't hold back on the roasts you can dish out

beth insults in comparison are so often like you said elementary school tier by comparison

[drifting rose]

shame they took a huge dump on it with Fallout 76, despite fo4 selling like hot cakes

but better beth owns it, than someone like Gearbox who would do nothing with it

[nimble current]

true I suppose, it could be worse still

[vital wyvern]

I've lost hope TES VI will ever come really

on the odd chance it does, it'll just be garbage

[nimble current]

still kinda surreal to me that the humble little top down rpg I played as a kid back in 1997 got a live action tv show

and supposedly isn't terrible

tho am guessing the show takes more inspiration and pulling power from the beth games

[drifting rose]

the beth games do a couple of things really well, visual design for one

[nimble current]

yep that's where it translated the best from the og games imo, the aesthetic and to some degree the atmosphere was good

though they tend to be a bit too cheery and goofy in many ways imo

[drifting rose]

I don't mind that so much, but I think they lack cohesive vision. fo4 especially was trying to be everything at once, and excelling at nothing

when all you really need for Fallout is solid writing and quest design, which bethesda is averse to

I kinda get the feeling if they hired 3 good writers and 2 people designing nothing but quests around existing maps for a year, the quality would be drastically improved

alas, that's not in todd's vision

[nimble current]

there's so much that's off about FO4's world imo, like it takes place some 400 years or so after the last bomb iirc? yet it still looks like ruins and decay of some barely 20 years after

also there's a bunch of things like radscorpions and BoS that makes no sense for it to be in eastcoast US

[drifting rose]

yeah I generally ignore "lore" violations, that kinda approach ruins everything fun in the long run

but the state of the map is indeed weird. consider the middle ages, europe in 1350 was essentially post-apocalyptic after the black death

it didn't take long for things to get better, modernity happened pretty much after recovery

so I always play that game with mods that add foliage at least 😛

[tardy basin]

I love how in the older games deathclaws are meant to be almost a boss-level enemy when in fallout 4 it's literally a tutorial enemy

one of the first quests you kill one

[drifting rose]

oh god yeah. and you get power armor immediately. I switched to survival mode after that encounter, and then the game became enjoyable

survival mode is awesome, one bullet takes 3/4 of your health off pretty much all throughout

lots of people seem to hate it but I don't understand the complaints

[nimble current]

yeah there was so much mystique and build-up towards them in the first game, was actually terrifying finally encountering one playing as a kid back then

had no social media etc to spoil things then either like you do now

[fading spade]

Pablosonic 👀

Hmm, from selling reskinned Samsung Flips to Fax machines, Pablo really did go downhill :')

[fading spade]

YEP
THIS IS ME IRL

I'm really really scared of what could happen...

They are right too
No other CEO is gonna give a fuck about maintaining Proton

[fringe salmon]

proton is needed for the steam deck so there is already a money incentive for it

and did gaben ever even talk about it, I dont think hes the main force behind that

[nimble current]

people seem to be under the impression valve is a one man show ruled by gabens iron fist

[still spire]

Yeah I know, it's not

Gaben has groomed a successor who shares his values

[fading spade]

No
If the new CEO drops proton
They are just gonna use Windows on the Deck

[drifting rose]

"this 14 year old boy is the ideal successor to me"

[fringe salmon]

what makes you think they would do either of these things

they have a unique selling point and save money

[fading spade]

The only reason Valve even made Proton and SteamOS is because they don't want to rely on Windows

But if the new CEO doesn't share that idea or sells Valve to Microsoft
Then no reason to maintain Proton or SteamOS
And just use Windows on future models of Deck

[fringe salmon]

why would anyones first instinct be "lets get rid of that so we make less money"

[fading spade]

I bet SteamOS and Proton cost more money than they get from hardware sales to maintain

It's a massive ever changing codebase due to launcher changes and game specific fixes etc etc

[fringe salmon]

oh yeah so lets pay 20 million to microsoft instead of paying 10 million to devs to make proton work since it alreadt exists

[fading spade]

They won't have to pay Microsoft for windows licenses if they sell out to them

Windows would be free and maintenance free for them in that case

[fringe salmon]

ok so the point is only relevant if they sell to microsoft

so then why would they sell currently

[fading spade]

Currently
They won't

But if the new CEO is garbage that is possible

[fringe salmon]

dear god yes of course the scenario is assuming gaben is dead since thats what this was all about

so why would a new ceo just randomly decide to sell it

[fading spade]

Read the image again
If the CEO focuses solely on profit and appeasing shareholders

[fringe salmon]

what shareholders

[fading spade]

?

Valve is a company

[fringe salmon]

valve isnt a public company...

[limber plank]

proton is not just for the steam deck

[fading spade]

Oohhh

[fringe salmon]

jfc you cant be real

[fading spade]

Yeh
I know

But Valve are the biggest maintainer

[nimble current]

you've been here long enough to know better

[fading spade]

So if valve stops caring about it
It's gonna become a community project that won't have the dev speed for it

[fading spade]

I thought all companies had shareholders.

.

[nimble current]

no, no they don't

far from every company even

[fading spade]

Got it

[limber plank]

but im prety the game sales of linux is much bigger then the maintance cost of proton

[fading spade]

I doubt it

Maybe now due to the deck

[limber plank]

so abandoning propton would lose them money

[fading spade]

But if the deck switches to Windows
That won't be the case anymore

[drifting rose]

prumptum

[fading spade]

The deck massively increased the Linux usage !!!

[fringe salmon]

yes but they are not switching to windows because that would cost them more

[fading spade]

Making it worth it to support

[fringe salmon]

so that whole argument chain is flawed from just not having an entry point

[still spire]

She's been told several times

lol

[fading spade]

Windows might cost less
But there wouldn't be any maintenance involved

[still spire]

Not too much proof of this

Even Valves own data shows a very small bump

[fading spade]

Since you can just rely on Microsoft to fix the issues on Windows

[fringe salmon]

there is no sign that would imply windows on deck would cost less

[fading spade]

Cost more*

[fringe salmon]

maintenance is factored in for costs.., im obviously not taking about purely licensing costs if we look at a whole product

[fading spade]

I feel a CEO would rather pay a bit more upfront and save on dev payments for long term maintenance
Than pay less but have to pay devs to maintain SteamOS, proton and Gamescope for the entire life of the company

[fringe salmon]

take the deck sales, multiply it by whatever you think OEM windows keys sell for and tell me how you still think maintining an existing proton project with a few devs could come even close to the cost

[fading spade]

OEM keys are like 15 dollars
Right?

[fringe salmon]

take whatever you think is right

[drifting rose]

even if that were to happen, maintaining these projects is not likely to cost that much, but they'd shy away from risky business moves like steam link or the controller in the future

[fading spade]

That's 15 million dollars at minimum

Right....
And paying devs to maintain 3 massive projects for the entire life of the company would cost less

[fringe salmon]

the deck sold 1.6million unitys in 2022 already..

and do you think they would not just continue to make sales

[fading spade]

That's why I said at minimum
Idk the current sale number

[still spire]

Lifetime sales of the Steam Deck will surpass the Switch

[fading spade]

After like 2 years of the deck being available
Probably sales will stop because anyone who wants one will have gotten one within the first year or two

[fading spade]

Yeh
Cause the switch is just one generation of console for Nintendo

[fringe salmon]

yeah so you get next steam deck that comes out every 4 or 5 years or whatever

[fading spade]

The deck is a long term plan

I hope valve make a SteamOS home console
💜

You can do that yourself anyway with Bazzite

So maybe it's not important

[fringe salmon]

so what do you think maintaining proton costs, 10 million a year so it doesn't make a profit?

[fading spade]

Add up all the yearly salaries of the maintainers and multiply that for how many years they maintained it for

Idk the salary they are on

[fringe salmon]

it doesnt matter what they worked on it before it matters now to maintain it since it already exists

[fading spade]

Right

I guess it makes sense
Raspberry Pi has its own OS for their hardware
They don't use Windows

[trim rock]

Because the ARM ecosystem is fucked, you have all these different boards with their own bootloaders and configs so you have to make a bespoke image for each of them

[fading spade]

Arm...ok yeah nvm

That's why all the x64 SBCs run Windows then

[hot spire]

You mean Debian?

It's just a customized Debian release.

Now they have some custom stuff and they help maintain the arm packages

[feral drum]

finally got rid of that slimy little loan shark...

I wish the game would've let me earlier

[proper basin]

what game is this

[feral drum]

RDR2

[proper basin]

Ah, now i understand

Good riddance to that shark

[feral drum]

all the loan returning missions in fact left a mark on me

[proper basin]

[pure bear]

@vapid lintel can u get off nyumi?

[feral drum]

Oh

lol

[deft bloom]

[feral drum]

god damn it... i hate the fishing mission with the veteran....

fucking hate it

[bleak pike]

Fishing in general is kinda boring in games lol

[quiet vault]

like irl

[grizzled bramble]

Kinda liked it in e.g. Okami but yeah, more fun to do it irl.

[fallow bronze]

Or a stressful minigame
Like stardew valley

[vital wyvern]

the minigames can be fun or they can be shite or just indifference-inducing

[proper basin]

Okami fishing is so fun. So fast paced i love trying to catch the fish in the shortest time possible

[bleak pike]

Fishing irl is great

[pure bear]

poor fish

[quiet vault]

nah

[pure bear]

all "fishing" i've seen was an excuse to drink beer in the sun all day lol

outdoor alcoholics

[proper basin]

I mean that is also true

[vital wyvern]

fishing is fun for real

provided you fish somewhere where you can actually catch something

unlike where I live where the sea is just fucking barren

[proper basin]

Ye most fish ill see here are little small frys

[bleak pike]

I don't drink though

[pure bear]

but finland doesnt border that

[pure bear]

if you drink the lake with a straw you can catch the fish that way

[vital wyvern]

doesn't border a sea?

[pure bear]

the barents sea

that joke didnt come out very well

you know

barren sea

[vital wyvern]

yeah it didn't land quite the way you intended it to

[pure bear]

there was norway to get it to work

[vital wyvern]

applaud the effort though and I'll give you a headpat as a consolation prize

Noticed you were online thought i'd update you lol

Oh yea

The top plate was filled with pepsi

[vapid lintel]

How are your switches?

[maiden tulip]

I think it's because it was diet pepsi

So like it didn't cause that super sticky effect

there goes the secret salesman inside Mark

[vapid lintel]

[hardy merlin]

Man, fuck TAA
This piece of crap which makes your game look like your GPU can't keep up with loading textures

CP2077 looks so much better without AA of any kind than it does with TAA

[fallow bronze]

watching it now.. its taa

its quite angry

[pulsar prism]

There's good TAA and bad TAA

[feral drum]

thing is that most use bad TAA and then rely on stuff like DLSS and FSR to fix it

which turns out to be even worse at the end

[pulsar prism]

DLAA looks real good in the games that support it

[hardy merlin]

Upscalers are a brutal reminder that we can't have nice things
We should be able to render games in decent native resolution and the upscale them to ridiculous resolutions to make them look pretty
Instead we have current gen consoles which renders games in resolutions of consoles 2 gens back... PS5 renders games in in 648p upscaled to 1440p for performance mode

[vapid lintel]

well, there's the issue of people wanting to have more detailed graphics

It's not just the industries fault, but also, unsurprisingly, the customers fault to some degree

[vapid lintel]

My favorite game is RimWorld soooo

[fallow bronze]

pixel perfect

ish

[fallow bronze]

more detailed, but then loose all the details because of the blur

[feral drum]

[nimble current]

give it some time, in a few years nobody will notice or care anymore

[feral drum]

idk how you guys feel these days about modern games, but i feel simply lost with undetailed graphics these days. Everything's moving and you can't figure out if it's a bush wiggling in the wind or an enemy rn

[sage ingot]

[narrow junco]

I still havent played elden ring

[fringe salmon]

Only one week time before dawntrail to complete it

(Thanks yoshi p for delaying after Elden ring)

[narrow junco]

The beginning pissed me off so i never played far enough to even see the first story boss

[tall anchor]

beat elden ring within a month

also completed ds3

[novel umbra]

in what way

[tall anchor]

also for some reason I need to buy a new controller.

[novel umbra]

had 2 of the most modern xbox controllers fail on me already (not due to excessuve force)

[tall anchor]

same same

[novel umbra]

very happy with my kingkong 2 pro

the newer one is better tho

[narrow junco]

Lost 2 hours of progress cause the game wouldnt let me spend my xp cause you have to sit at some specific bonfire that i didnt feel like was mentioned to unlock leveling up

[novel umbra]

following the road? nope
following the indicators on graces/bonfires? nope

people really do need that map marker visible at all time

[scarlet marlin]

shhh....

[scarlet marlin]

brother didnw follow the golden thingies on the map

[narrow junco]

I also realized that i still dont like open world games

[pulsar prism]

Yeah I like mine too but the buttons are trash

[fringe salmon]

Doesn’t she also appear at later graces if you miss the one in front of the gate?

[novel umbra]

got a bit of lube on them

[scarlet marlin]

i mean there are many "in front of gate" graces, but shes at a very early one

where you get your cowhorse

[fringe salmon]

Yeah that’s what I mean, if you miss that I thought she’d just appear at some later ones

[scarlet marlin]

but yeah this is the fastest route

[narrow junco]

But yeah i got that and kept playing for a bit but got bored cause open world is not very compatible with how i like to play games

[fringe salmon]

That’s fair

[novel umbra]

the grace is literally called "gatefront ruins"

[pulsar prism]

Maybe I need to get lubing

[novel umbra]

and to get there you literally only have to follow the markers on the previous graces

[scarlet marlin]

yeah I saw that after looking at the map. excuse me for not memorizing all the names of the graces in the game

[novel umbra]

Melina will appear once you discover at least 3 Sites of Grace and then rest at any Site of Grace in Limgrave

[scarlet marlin]

fair enough. I really liked it compared to other souls games cause you really could get "lost" and explore and do your own th8ing

[narrow junco]

Maybe i‘ll try it again at a later time but i‘m in no rush

[novel umbra]

also that only happens if you follow them that way, she can in fact spawn at many other ones as well

[feral drum]

unless you get devoured by your first mimic

i have not indeed, getting some mixed feedback on that one

[novel umbra]

I absolutely got lost in that game

[small comet]

raquel ffxiv when

[narrow junco]

The last open world i enjoyed was breath of the wild and i didnt even finish that game

[novel umbra]

partially because I just did not see one path going out from the hub

[scarlet marlin]

well I meant 'getting lost'' in a sense like, just going out there and just explore the world and not like 'where the fuck do I go'

[fringe salmon]

Has some good things has some bad things, still good souls game if you put enough into the stupid adaptatility stats because that increases your iframes during rolls

Especially if the cage is higher off the ground

That's what matters.

I hate people who leave them in cages so much.

They get shocked when they fly out of windows.

If i ever have a bird it‘ll be a crow or raven that i chill with when sitting on my balcony

[fading spade]

You need to leave them fly around every day but leave the cage door open except when they need to eat

[grizzled quarry]

Apparently they make terrible pets

They are assholes

[bleak pike]

Crows can be good friends.

[narrow junco]

Oh it wont be a pet just a random bird that thinks i‘m chill

[fading spade]

^

[tall anchor]

its morally wrong but whatever.

[fading spade]

Crows are chill if you are chill to them

[bleak pike]

What is?

[narrow junco]

I saw a video today of a crow using a bong

[fading spade]

Xd

Please don't drug crows

[narrow junco]

Nah that was his own choice

[grizzled quarry]

Seen a chimp take a dab before

Man was rippeddd

[bleak pike]

Having a pet crow is bleh for sure but a friend crow is great.

[orchid prism]

Bird talk in #🎮│game ?

Spread your wings and get over to #💬│general 😛

[bleak pike]

Ye there's a bird game somewhere

[hardy merlin]

Duck Hunt

[bleak pike]

Yes, exactly

[fallow bronze]

Birds are dicks

[maiden tulip]

[orchid prism]

British commentary

[novel umbra]

why are they playing against the english team if they are a proud supporter

[frosty breach]

Rate my fashionscape

[sage ingot]

pls prntscreen

[buoyant osprey]

OSRS died (in my heart) when they added GE.

[sage ingot]

wasnt that added to the game before osrs launched?

actually no wait nvm

[novel umbra]

nope

it was added very early in rs3

took them almost a decade in osrs

[frosty breach]

Old photo from my phone this from 2023 lmfao

[buoyant osprey]

It was added 2 years after release.

I'm referring to OSRS as in the 'alternative' version of Runescape.

[sage ingot]

yus

why GE bad though?

[buoyant osprey]

OSRS came out in 2013 and GE was added in 2015.

[frosty breach]

Yea the first version of osrs was like 2007scape

[tall anchor]

thats a you problem. i love osrs in its current state

[buoyant osprey]

I really liked the player trade mechanic. It could be tedious of course but I liked that it added more social elements.

[sage ingot]

its kinda coming back a bit now with the addition of tax

👀

[buoyant osprey]

Tax?!

[sage ingot]

on the GE

its not much, but people bother for certain items

1%

[frosty breach]

Last time i enjoyed osrs was like in 2018 , i wish they add like 2008 hd graphics as switchable and summoning and dungeoneering but not as a skill but just like an minigame just something to do constantly like diablo end game stuff and as a kid i could never enjoy those things as a noob in full mithril xD but now as an str gear bandos lvl 122 snob i want to experience it too xD

[buoyant osprey]

Wasn't there talk about adding 2008 graphics at some point?

[frosty breach]

Oshd

Or rshd

Too many clients

[sage ingot]

HDos

you can play on that, no?

[frosty breach]

But i want it official client so i can use steam version

[buoyant osprey]

wat

Can you play the actual game but with those visuals?

[frosty breach]

Yea

[sage ingot]

and even through the jagex launcher

[buoyant osprey]

This? https://hdos.dev/

[frosty breach]

Some 3rd party client

[buoyant osprey]

Holy.

Maybe it's time I try out RS again.

[sage ingot]

also, gauntlet exists

dungeoneering lite

[frosty breach]

U seriously never heard of it? A friend promoted it alot

[buoyant osprey]

I quit many years ago.

[frosty breach]

Whats this?

[sage ingot]

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/The_Gauntlet

[frosty breach]

Same but occasionally i login into steam version and troll in Ge xD and give coins away

[buoyant osprey]

Last time I played I tried iron mode out and it was quite a lot of fun.

[frosty breach]

I wish i had motivation to get 99 agility and slayer but im too lazy now

[sage ingot]

just play gam click boss

[frosty breach]

My slayer is like 92 and my agility 85 ish i forgot

[sage ingot]

raids are dope

DT2 slaps

a LOT of new cool stuff was added

we got nex now

[frosty breach]

Yea but im not interested anymore and members is like 11 euro a month

[sage ingot]

indeed it is around that

idk I clocked in a decent amount of time

enjoyed all of it

[frosty breach]

Yea but i just have like 5 hours of time to game a day cause of work and other stuff so 11 eud monthly not worth it

[sage ingot]

I game at work :P

osrs mobile is great for afking stuff

[frosty breach]

I did that with league and with a shitty i3 pc yea hahahha i rather wait till home

[sage ingot]

os should run fiiiine on that

I did my infernal cape on some shitty old as hell thinkpad

[frosty breach]

Yea i played osbuddy on it

[frosty breach]

Bruhh whaat

[sage ingot]

try runelite, better client

[frosty breach]

I couldn’t even do firecape on my normal pc and let my friend do it and u say this

[sage ingot]

it just takes time :P

[frosty breach]

Those type of bosses aint for me

[buoyant osprey]

Is the UI this small?

[frosty breach]

Only boss i like to kill is skotizo for purple slayer helm but i never get the fkin item and i killed it over 20+ times

[sage ingot]

probably because of the scaling mode being set wrong

best guess

[frosty breach]

U can probably scale it in settings

[sage ingot]

I made his claws into flippers lol

also got pet from him after a bit

[frosty breach]

Man

Jagex hates me

[sage ingot]

24kc

[frosty breach]

I wanna cry😢😂

[sage ingot]

sometimes lucky sometimes aint

only way to win is to keep playing

[frosty breach]

90+ slayer and still no colored helmet i swear to god jagex

[sage ingot]

I got a colored one

jad colored

but thats not from slayer

[frosty breach]

Aren’t you supposed to be on a task?

To get that item?

[sage ingot]

you need to do tasks

combat achievement tasks

[frosty breach]

Ah alright

[sage ingot]

but they dont really have much to do with slayer lol

its pvm related

[buoyant osprey]

It's really dumb how you can't make passwords longer than 20 or so letters on Runescape.

[sage ingot]

indeed

[frosty breach]

Use google authenticer orsomething for more security

[sage ingot]

I really want the zuk one but its far far away

[frosty breach]

I want the purple slayer helmet cause it looks so goddam nice

[small comet]

you better not check paypal

[frosty breach]

Degu did you ever play moparscape or the server list on that ?

[sage ingot]

there are qute a few now

[sage ingot]

nope

only played osrs

[frosty breach]

Wow

[sage ingot]

relatively new to it aswell

[frosty breach]

I thought you was an rs veteran😂

[sage ingot]

oh no lol

I started like what, 4 years ago?

still a newbie

plenty to learn, plenty to achieve

[small comet]

i hope veteran also applies to people who forgot basically all about rs due to just... not playing for a decade or more lol

[sage ingot]

yes

[frosty breach]

Thats me atm, i dont know the new stuff after 2018/early 2019

[buoyant osprey]

God damnit. I can't sign in because I don't have a Jagex account. Some new thing they added.

[sage ingot]

the jagex account is kinda comfy once you set it up

one click login

improved security

this and that

[buoyant osprey]

Good code.

[frosty breach]

Yes yes yes thank you

[sage ingot]

oh and a new slayer boss will be coming soon

(if it passes the polls)

https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/new-slayer-boss---the-araxyte?oldschool=true

[frosty breach]

I hope 1 day before i die, i stop being lazy and get 99 agility and get the cape and do the emote

[sage ingot]

they recently overdid agility

👀

slightly better rates, cool new content like hallowed sepulchre

[frosty breach]

I already have my green agility gear, i actually like clicking and alt tabing while playing other games, hopefully i get around 90k xp an hour now if they reworked it abit, you know that place above camelot and that norse town i always forget the name

[sage ingot]

relekka?

[frosty breach]

Yea relakka

Good agility training spot till 90 and then you go to that market stall city

[sage ingot]

not 90k/h I am afraid

[frosty breach]

Ardougne i think was the name

[sage ingot]

ardougne course is up to 70k

ardy is below camelot :D

oh you mean in skill requirement

lol my bad

[frosty breach]

When i played in 2018 i got around 60 to 70k in relakka but i was really fast xD

[frosty breach]

Yea till 90 lvl xD

[sage ingot]

60k possible, 70k?

would be a lot

[frosty breach]

My osbuddy said it somehow that calculation per hour

[sage ingot]

tick perfect rellekka with hard diary is 63k I think

[frosty breach]

Have to see it myself if i play again

[sage ingot]

but you can get up to 98k\h at hallowed sepulchre

[frosty breach]

Whats the level requirement?

I know mines probably 85 now i think

[buoyant osprey]

I have to do account recovery. Why tf is there a 20 letter limit to passwords?

Fuck Jagex.

They were always bad.

[frosty breach]

90 slayer and 85 agility xD

[buoyant osprey]

Are party hats still worthless in OSRS?

[sage ingot]

92 for 5th floor

[sage ingot]

yes, always will be

[frosty breach]

Not all

I have an rare partyhat with glasses😜

Its probably worth a few mill

[sage ingot]

https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Partyhat_%26_specs

this one?

[frosty breach]

Yea

[sage ingot]

it do be around 1.8m
