It's a bit confusing with ProtonDB, because Gold for example that "some" tinkering is necessary
But it's always just changing in-game settings, like you'd do on Windows, so for example changing resolution
With Silver it's almost the same

[fringe salmon]

plat means its the same or better out of the box as windows, which is all that matters the lower tiers are a bit confusing

[hardy merlin]

Also the fact that they do average of all reports and not only say last 6 months, so the game that used to not work 3 years ago and is now fixed will still have Bronze now

[scarlet marlin]

but more money

[nimble current]

is colonial marines not awful now

"7/10 game" - randy pitchford

[still spire]

It was fun in co-op

[nimble current]

seen some mods for it

its a shame, have been wishing for a good aliens game ever since AvP in friggin 1999

[novel umbra]

mind you

after that typo is fixed the ai is still bad

you mean

[nimble current]

I was 13 when that shit came out and it was so damn fun

[novel umbra]

they were able to pathfind to you

(most of the time)

[nimble current]

and scary

[still spire]

AVP2 was incredible wtf

[nimble current]

think I tried a demo of it

but didn't get me hooked for some reason, might have run poorly on my current pc or something

[novel umbra]

alien trilogy on the ps1 also was good

[cursive dragon]

Let me play some league of legends on Linux

Oh noooo, I can't due to Vanguard being added!

[novel umbra]

tho people did not get the control scheme at the time

[nimble current]

always hated fps on controller

not a fan of controllers period but having to aim with a thumbstick is especially awful

I'm like that with F.E.A.R.

[novel umbra]

oh yea same

but at least that game had thumbstick aiming

they had a control scheme that would be considered very normal nowadays

that reviewers didn't get

[nimble current]

yeah control schemes for fps weren't really cemented on either console or pc back then

wasd didn't really gain traction until the turn of the millenium

[novel umbra]

don't think they were around back then

[nimble current]

first mentions of it I recall was on internet forums around 1997 or so

[novel umbra]

back then game reviewers actually played games

the control scheme was just quite new

[novel umbra]

mind you, it came out before goldeneye on the n64

[nimble current]

to be fair some modern shooters got so many damn control binds

[novel umbra]

and then pc binds end up being an absolute mess because they are somewhat related to the controller binds

spacemarine 2 default binds are just a mess for example

aiming on mmb 💀

[nimble current]

I noticed the same with another sabre game, expeditions

coming from snowrunner the controls in expeditions were an absolute mess

[pastel bolt]

wtf were the devs smoking when making default binds for sm2

[novel umbra]

yes

I put melee on side buttons and aiming on rmb

[pastel bolt]

scroll click to aim, mouse 2 to melee

[novel umbra]

which basically fixed it

[nimble current]

fun thing, snowrunner/expeditions and space marine 2 runs the same engine

[novel umbra]

but the amount of qtes don't help when it tells you to to press "mouse 5"

[pastel bolt]

Same here, melee and parry on thumb buttons

[novel umbra]

and you have to think if mouse 5 is the front or the rear one

[nimble current]

some of the control popup screens in space marine looks very similar to those in expeditions

despite being very different games

[novel umbra]

I played good cart racing games in a modified doom engine, don't think I can be shocked anymore

[pastel bolt]

Titanfall 2 runs on the same engine as half life 2

[nimble current]

member quake rally

[fading spade]

Nightmare Kart?

[nimble current]

yes but expeditions is an offroad sim while space marine 2 is a horde shooter

[novel umbra]

https://www.kartkrew.org/

[fading spade]

Oo

[novel umbra]

• sonic robo blast kart which this is based on

[pastel bolt]

I got fucked by a ravener because of this, quick time event telling me to press mouse 5 and I was like hhhuhh?

[novel umbra]

that one came out this year

[trim rock]

Yes it's good

[novel umbra]

had weird mechanics which is why I have played it a bit less

[trim rock]

Even if the ring racer tutorial goes on for way too long teaching you about unimportant stuff

[novel umbra]

preferred robo blast kart

[nimble current]

https://youtu.be/cHXwlRU2Q34?si=YZfNgK5Px_KXEv7v

anyone played this?

was a jam for us pc folks in the 90s not having mario kart

[novel umbra]

oh also

most ps2 games ran on an engine that was developed with/for the original burnout

[nimble current]

renderware?

[trim rock]

Hell yeah

[novel umbra]

yea

granted, burnout was the side project for that

[nimble current]

yeah a ridiculous amount of games used that engine in the early/mid 00s

most famous examples are probably the og 3D GTA trilogy

[novel umbra]

recently started playing SA (again)

it is honestly stupid how complicated they make the mod setup out to be

[nimble current]

are the remasters not shit yet?

[novel umbra]

but then at the end you find out that you just need one file + 3GBs of audio files from a weird russian host

[orchid prism]

Never seen it in my life. That's not what people had - We had Wacky Wheels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvLJ1t1zq7c

[novel umbra]

will always be, I play the original release

[trim rock]

Yeah see the problem with the remasters is that they just chucked the games into UE and called it a job well done

[novel umbra]

which I got from the steamlibrary from a friend

[nimble current]

I've never seen that instead

[novel umbra]

at least they fixed the sprunk hardlock they had on the switch

[orchid prism]

smh my head

[novel umbra]

FIVE THOUSAND CANS, FOR FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS

[nimble current]

I got hold of a lot of weird underground games for pc back in the 90s, had good connections for warez

[novel umbra]

my connections were freeware games + weird russian copies

[nimble current]

superkarts was published by virgin tho shouldn't be too unknown

[novel umbra]

so on one hand I had moorhuhn, on the other hand I had majesty in russian and postal 2

[nimble current]

back when pc/game mags were actually cool and still had a purpose you'd get a lot of goodies on bundled cd's too

[novel umbra]

yea

where you sometimes even got full games that were just a few years old (so they could run on your decrepid machine)

[novel umbra]

ngl the more I think about it the funnier it is

[nimble current]

yeah there were some must have issues released occasionally

[novel umbra]

when in history could you get a game to entirely brick itself ot a point where you needed to make a new profile to play it

just by drinking too much soda

in a matter of minutes even

[nimble current]

I thought nintendo was supposed to be the it always works a la apple ecosystem of gaming

Haven't touched Diablo since 2. Back before we had teh internets.

[compact oriole]

i played a ton of d3 which i enjoyed. and d4 patches and this xpac have literally be reverting changes to go back to what d3 already was lol

im bored and kinda interested

[orchid prism]

I am. On my first Windows based PC I couldn't play Diablo 2, only Diablo 1.

It didn't have the GPU for it. I also played Half-Life purely on CPU.

I know what a 386 is - I had one.

Still got my discs and cdkey for that.

Nothing more fun than pancaking players with the little hovercraft.

[compact oriole]

my first game was super mario world on snes

my first real pc game prolly monkey island 3

[orchid prism]

I also had the distinct displeasure of completing Deus Ex 1 using only a single quicksave slot. Because the 1.0 version had a bug that wouldn't detect "larger" harddrives correctly and assumed they had negative space available.

That one was painful.

@silver garden bro 343 got bullied so much they switched their name to "halo studios"

[hardy merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/harry-potter-snape-dumbledore-deathly-hallows-stand-gif-27462290

[outer pollen]

[little cape]

man the crimes 343 did to halo just be punishable BY DEATH !😭

https://tenor.com/view/godfather-massacre-sad-gif-16810633

[silver garden]

Yeah changing your studio name to a worse name and proceed to change exactly zero things about your workflow is definitely gonna help them...

[little cape]

i think its more of tricking people to think its a different studio doing halo now. Since eariler in the year there was a rumor 343 wasnt doing halo anymore and everyone got excited then 343 tweeted theyre not losing the project

which is kind of weird to change your studio name to the games name but hey. They have no clue what theyre doing so 😭

[silver garden]

They aren't even trying to trick. Watch the video they made about the rebrand.
It's the same kind of people, talking about the same things, with the same attitude, so excited to do exactly the same thing that they did ever since the studio was formed.

But this time in UE5.

[little cape]

yeah i noticed it was the same people who did halo infinite was doing the halo 1 project and immediately cringed. I have zero faith in them, theyre going to f*ck it up when theres already the ground work layed out for them

[hardy merlin]

Saber already fucked up anniversary remaster, 343 will just do it again
The only good thing is that they allow for use of old textures in anniversary remaster, the new ones completely destroy atmosphere

[little cape]

yeah idk why theyre still on the project

they barely make money from the halo games anymore when 343 makes the game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0YXcpsfwMs

crazy how halo 3 still holds up after all these years really makes you think how passionate the bungie team were

[hardy merlin]

Old Bungie understood this game, no one now will understand it
And Microsoft don't want to let go of their favourite IP

[little cape]

yeah

breaks my heart

[hardy merlin]

New Bungie is not even a shadow of old one unfortunately

[silver garden]

Who makes Halo Wars?

[little cape]

343

nvm i lie

[silver garden]

You sure?

[little cape]

esemble studios did halo wars

and 343/creative assembly did halo wars 2

[silver garden]

• creative assembly

[little cape]

you think microsoft would fire 343 after 3 failed projects from 343

[silver garden]

Well all I can say is. Whatever studio they outsourced the trailer to understood Halo better than anyone else, even Bungie.

[little cape]

but microsoft are idiots

[little cape]

for which game halo wars 1?

[silver garden]

I don't like OG Halo games. For numerous reason. I think it's one of the most mediocre slops ever made.

But I will give anything to play game that looks like the Halo Wars 2 trailer.

If they make a game of that caliber I will forgive 343 for all their past fuck ups.

i believe halo 2 anniversary was outsourced and that game looks amazing

[fringe salmon]

because its not the same build?

[maiden tulip]

It ran at 1080 30 docked

While looking better than the 360 version

In the main Switch offers a vert solid, and very comparable return next to PS4, then - all of which brings us to performance. There are no surprises here. It's 30 frames per second on Switch and to be honest, bearing in mind it's running at 1080p with all these settings, it's more defensible to see 30fps here than on PS4. The Tegra X1 chipset at its core isn't in the same league spec-wise as Sony's home console, and yet we're still getting an impressive 1080p30 return

NO ONE NEEDS AN UPDATED VERSION OF A HALF DECADE OLD GAME THAT STILL LOOKS GREAT

[fringe salmon]

devs? you mean marketing

[drifting rose]

they ran out of old games to violate

[barren pewter]

now, remaking a two decade old game
I love that idea
especially refreshing it
like RE2R, 3R and 4R

and RDR1 finally getting a PC port is great as well

[hardy merlin]

You love this idea because RE remakes were actually good

[barren pewter]

3R was shit

2R and 4R though
my beloveds <3

still pissed at Capcom for their always on DRM that requires you have a connection to verify your purchase of RE titles on Mac

just glad I froze my update of 4R
so I can still play that offline

but I don't intend to buy any more Capcom games on Mac App Store

this just punishes those who actually BOUGHT the game

could be cool, I skipped the original one

[drifting rose]

code veronica is an entertaining mess

[solemn vine]

CV is a cool game but I don't think it's that good

The rest are still great and I can go back to any of them no problem

I think RE2 and 4 remake are good games but I definitely don't think they were at all necessary, especially 4

[drifting rose]

yeah as always they remake the best games in the series, the frauds

[frosty silo]

Hello

I had 2 years break is this good

[hardy merlin]

No, it's Fortnite

[dreamy rain]

Play warframe

[sage ingot]

do not

[buoyant osprey]

0 is fun. And the remaster is beautiful since they actually had the backgrounds and didn't have to resort to bad upscaling like with the RE1 remaster.

But the lack of a storage box can get frustrating. There's an item in the game that takes two inventory slots and you find it at the very start of the game. You need it a somewhat decent chunk into the game and since you can't store items in a box you carry it around like a paranoid person even when you won't have need for it anymore.

They could have fixed that with a "you don't need this item anymore" message or simply have you lose it the final time you use it.

The only bad thing about the RE0 remaster is how weird they made Rebecca's face. I don't think they changed Billy's face (not that they'd need to).

A RE0 remake with co-op could be very fun.

PS3 era graphics. Terrible alaising and poor performance.

[fading spade]

Muse Dash account sync is working again :D

[fringe salmon]

basically it seems there is one big issue that could improve performance a lot which is the culling, unless they use that for certain effects but if that's the case it's poor planing from the start or a massive oversight

probably something a patch or mod could just toggle and it would be visible if it breaks a lot or not

my guess is they changed some defaults to have off screen light not flicker in and out but there isnt a propery implementation to still cull lights that are far enough to have 0 influence so it has to be on

if thats the case something like unreal engine would have been much better since there such defaults are already possible but dont let certain people hear this /s

Completely unrelated to tech but I don't like that they're making so many games that look like Persona 5, if you wanna remake a PS2 game or release a new high fantasy IP in 2024 I'd appreciate it if they made it look better than a PS3 game instead of on par or worse

[drifting rose]

shit graphics and poor performance, the worst of both worlds

[solemn vine]

I like SMTV, that game isn't a technical marvel but it has a really good aesthetic

P3R is like an anti-aesthetic game, they somehow remade an experimental PS2 game made on a tight budget and made it look like an even cheaper game by modern standards than the original was back then

[drifting rose]

rofl. good style tends to hold up much longer than technical quality. people often treat them as mutually exclusive but there are a couple of games that hold up in both regards

[solemn vine]

I still don't know if I'm gonna buy Metaphor, I like Megami Tensei games (even though this game is pretending not to be one) but it gives me too many P3R vibes, and I hated P3R

[proper basin]

SMTs aesthetic has always been pretty good across the games

[solemn vine]

It sure has, and for the record I like the way P5 looks

I feel like that game is very stylized so it doesn't look like a cheaply made game

P3R does not feel that way, it feels like it's steps behind P5's aesthetic and especially the original P3's

[drifting rose]

try borrowing before buying

[proper basin]

i like P3R but i think it wouldve been cool to see the menus change more as the game continued to fit more with its darker tone, starting from a deep ocean color then ending to the color that we see on the menus in the current release (bright blue)

[solemn vine]

I'll at least finish the demo first, I just heard the fairy talking to me like a Persona 5 character

[proper basin]

And green menus during the dark hour wouldve been sick

[solemn vine]

P3R feels like an insanely "paint by numbers" remake, it tries to include all the original things and add in things that would make it "better" without really giving much thought to how it all comes together

And the graphics and aesthetic are a big part of it, it feels like they just wanted to recreate scenes in the P5 engine and didn't really care about the finer details

Even down to how characters walk into frame or how the reaction cut-ins are handled, it just feels very sloppy

[drifting rose]

they probably don't allocate a lot of budget for remasters when most of the work is already done, no matter how much the producer pleads

[solemn vine]

And you know I won't forgive the game for being a 70 dollar remake of a PS2 game with a 35 dollar DLC that's content that was in the PS2 game

But even visually I just feel like it being a remake it should get little things like that right, especially since it plays it so close to the original

And here's Metaphor ReFantazio also looking like Persona 5 and characters talk to me like it's Persona 5, but now it runs bad too, oooooops

[drifting rose]

[digital dawn]

proton doesnt work on ntfs by default btw

[fading spade]

If you need it to be used by Windows and Linux, format it to exFAT not NTFS

[orchid prism]

Oh gods no.

[digital dawn]

I use btrfs for my windows and linux game drive

[drifting rose]

@digital dawn @fading spade it works

btrfs is an underrated fs

its mere existence is enough to put the bcachefs dev into an existential crisis

[digital dawn]

really? I specifically remember when setting up my second drive for windows and linux steam games ntfs didnt work.

[trim rock]

It's really good except for when it silently eats your data

[drifting rose]

you have to symlink your compatibilitytools.d folder

[digital dawn]

I knew there was some sorta workaround but I ended up going with btrfs

[digital dawn]

oh yeah something like that

I think its the compatdata folder

[drifting rose]

I see that claimed a lot but never met someone who had it happen to them

[trim rock]

I'm referring to winbtrfs, it has eaten my data in the past

[digital dawn]

tbh I might need to try out ntfs for my second drive cuz I keep getting really annoying issues

idk if its a windows and linux issue in general

[fading spade]

Windows can read BTRFS?!

[trim rock]

Yes... with an unofficial driver that's actually genuinely really good, makes it feel like it was always supported

[fading spade]

O.o

oh wow, I love BTRFS

[digital dawn]

but sometimes when I launch windows and then switch back to linux, my games will need an "update" but wont be able to update due to file permission errors.

[drifting rose]

mount with umask=000

I have no fuckin clue why that's not standard in udisk or whatever is responsible for mounting my crap

classic case of linux making shit more difficult than necessary

[fading spade]

I wish Linux did what windows does and automatically mount extra internal drives

Like the C: and whatnot on Windows

It's always scary having to edit the fstab file 😅

[drifting rose]

use gnome-disks, it saves mount options you change in fstab

not the most elegant solution but you only have to do it once

[fading spade]

Ooooo

Wait
Ok
Gnome Disks is honestly such a good app

I use it to create bootable USB drives too

[hardy merlin]

udisks should handle that

[fading spade]

Idk that one

[drifting rose]

that's the underlying gubbins and you can probably configure it to automount

also yes gnome-disks is rad, one of my fave purely desktop linux tools

you can tell it to make a partition with 500gb and have it 500gb, no confusing shit

[fading spade]

Yeh
All the cli tools are so complicated ;_;
Or you need to know the size is bytes or some shit in order to give what size you want for the partition

Did you see the new Gnome Disks redesign in Gnome 47?

Some reason I don't have that new design on my install
On Fedora Workstation Beta

[drifting rose]

I haven't noticed it and I used gnome-disks like 10 minutes ago lol

[sinful cobalt]

Rapid trigger is fine

DKS is also bannable

[teal acorn]

what is rapid trigger put simply?

@sinful cobalt

as soon as i let go it releases?

[sinful cobalt]

it mean if ur actuation point is set to 0.1mm u dont have to fully press down your key

and even if u release it, it can be activated again

[teal acorn]

gotcha

tyvm

@sinful cobalt

when I "save" a profile to my keyboard, does that mean it activates it or hmm?

[sinful cobalt]

the top one is gonna be your main profile

[teal acorn]

so what if i want to play cs and toggle another

[sinful cobalt]

add an FN layer

FN+O,p,[,] can be mapped for different profiles

as D1, A1-2-3

is there any way to delete keyboard profiles in wootility?

nope

atleast not active ones

40mil??? Waow.

[pure bear]

but is it actually good? never heard of it again after launch

[hardy merlin]

Overinflated budgets on AAA games is nothing new

[verbal nymph]

I really enjoy it. It gives you all that you need to achieve what the game challenges you to do.

Rather than having to grind killing others for it.

[scarlet marlin]

I mean the game market is so overstimulated, there are new/big games releasing almost every day/week. But yeah the overall reception is good. if you're into the genre

[sinful cobalt]

And im just have fun in Elden Ring

[scarlet marlin]

[sinful cobalt]

I wanna play stellar blade but a ps5 is too expensive

im sure it gets pc release at some point

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah thats my plan

[hardy merlin]

Shift Up already confirmed PC version in August

[scarlet marlin]

now its a matter of when

Stellar Boobah

[hardy merlin]

Their financial report mentions something about near future "to keep the excitement of the IP going, and we expect it to perform better on PC than on consoles."
So I guess this fiscal year

[sinful cobalt]

Bc of sony and exclusivity i would say in 2026

Or 2027

[hardy merlin]

Stellar Blade is not Sony exclusive, Shift Up is independent
Sony just helped them with release on PlayStation

[scarlet marlin]

yes you can look a pretty characters and play a good game too with a banger soundtrack?

thats triple win

[fringe salmon]

its more depending on how fast they get the pc port working

gow:r took like two years, FF16 was barely more than a year since they already had most of the engine on pc

[scarlet marlin]

yeah but they might have a contract deal for how long it stays an exclusive you know

[fringe salmon]

sony never really cared about it past 6-12 months the most and is going for more multiplatform support too

ofc psn on pc is a whole other meme but they arent going to keep it on ps5 for that long

[scarlet marlin]

Im just saying that there are a lot of other factors at play besides just making a pc port (which can also take a lot of time depending on the workpower they have). Some people tend to forget about things like that

[hardy merlin]

‘Stellar Blade’ was the first game to be released under Sony's 2nd party contract in Korea. Due to the settlement structure of the contract, there was a pre-licence period for Sony, so a certain amount of sales was not recognised as revenue. We did not recognise a certain amount of sales as our revenue. Now that Sony's pre-licensing has ended, we are recognising revenue.

Not an issue anymore

[fringe salmon]

revenue share isnt 1:1 with platform exclusivity unless its defined as such

[hardy merlin]

Still, Sony is a 2nd party to them, so on PC no PSN, independent release, all that stuff

[scarlet marlin]

working together with steam is also a big hassle, getting your store set up/verified/etc.

[deft bloom]

wait is that revenue? looks like it but I'm not suure

[fringe salmon]

but despite that, sony has no interest in paying for keeping it exclusive when that just costs them more money so it's really just 95% depending on pc port being done

setting up steam page is not a big hassle, maybe it was years ago

worst case a few weeks to months if there are issues but you set that up before the game is done so thats not delaying things by much even if something crops up there

[hardy merlin]

I wan to test new GPU on booba gaem

[sinful cobalt]

I just wanna play it

[scarlet marlin]

be sure to give the OG korean dub some love

I heard it on streams and on thr trailer its not bad but not my favorite

[hardy merlin]

I have to keep money for MH Wilds too
Why 90€ for Deluxe Capcom

[sinful cobalt]

[hardy merlin]

Already set reminder to March 2nd, 2 days after release
Because we do. not. preorder.

[sinful cobalt]

I tried monster hunter world or what and it not my taste

The combat had a weird feeling for me

[hardy merlin]

+at least 100 hours in World on yarr version
+some 100 hours in Rise on Switch emulator

[sinful cobalt]

Uhm steam thats not 50%

[hardy merlin]

50% of what exactly?

[sinful cobalt]

Like for 9 dlc

[orchid prism]

150 bucks apparently. Which seems an odd price to show for a game?

[sinful cobalt]

[hardy merlin]

If only that game was worth that kind of money

[sinful cobalt]

I mean a dlc for 100€

[hardy merlin]

I mean Destiny 2

[sinful cobalt]

The game is free but not the dlc’s and its content like PLS bungie

[hardy merlin]

I want old Bungie back

I want good Halo games

Not that crap 343 Industries Halo Studios and new Bungie are doing

[sinful cobalt]

The thing is old bungie was under Activison

[hardy merlin]

Old old Bungie, Microsoft one

[sinful cobalt]

And activison was the one who told bungie to dont become greedy

But both of them are greedy now

I mean sure i did pre-ordered bo6

Do i gonna regretting it im 100% sure

Did i spent 120€ on a pre-order yes

Does the game gonna be that good we gonna see it

[proper basin]

Acti mustve been aiming it at their CEO, with his newfound classic cars and loss of employees

Guess you could say he had a “marathon” buying those

[hardy merlin]

Return it when you still have a chance
Get that GPU you wanted
Be happy

[narrow junco]

i will make one exception ever and thats the successor to world

[hardy merlin]

One thing for sure - I'll never buy nor play anything from ActiBlizz again

[hardy merlin]

[fringe salmon]

if you budget the game in your expenses anyway assuming its good theres not much of a point to wait imo

[hardy merlin]

And pre-order bonus is ugly as heck anyway

[narrow junco]

i didnt play d4

even tho i have like 4000 hours in poe

[proper basin]

Only thing that matters is getting the palico outfits from your MHW save

[narrow junco]

real

[hardy merlin]

I also want to see if it'll work on Proton day 1, 90% chance it will, but still

[fringe salmon]

I mean, can still refund if it doesn't

[sinful cobalt]

I already pre-ordered it in june or july when the pre-order started

[fading spade]

you only get like 5 hours of gameplay for free....

Ooooooooh

[proper basin]

Ok now im caught up again

[silver garden]

QC uses swarm engine.

Saber's own.

[fringe salmon]

on a hybrid engine made up of id Tech and Saber3D Engine

[silver garden]

If you consider the Quake movement code to be hybrid then sure.

It's Swarm (before it was called that way anyway) with parts of Quake's physics. It has pretty much nothing from id tech in there.

[fading spade]

The new logo sucks

[silver garden]

It's part of the process.

Honestly I am surprised it wasn't just "Halo Studios" written in Arial Bold font.

so...
Logitech Pro X Wireless or HyperX Cloud III Wireless?

for using on PS5

[sudden prawn]

Does it have to be wireless

[fading spade]

PS5 is very far away from the chair so yeah

[digital dawn]

you could just plug it in to your controller

[fading spade]

not me, my friend is looking for new headphones

he said wireless soooo

I suggested the Cloud II Wired and Cloud III Wired to him

[buoyant osprey]

SH2 remake has "none", "FXAA" and "TXAA" as AA options. Which is the best one in your opinion? Is TXAA blurry with motion artifacts? Is FXAA good?

[fringe salmon]

hard to say generally, depends on the game and how much a person notices temporal artifacts

[buoyant osprey]

Idk what FXAA is.

What's the diff between TAA and TXAA?

[fringe salmon]

think thats what nvidia used originally but should be the same just some teporal version

F stands for fast approximate so it doesnt really hit performance but isnt that great

[buoyant osprey]

Damn.

[drifting rose]

FXAA does not filter as much aliasing but produces fewer artifacts on its own

[buoyant osprey]

I might just prefer no AA.

[drifting rose]

yeah depends on the game for me. for murky graphics like SH2 the motion artifacts may be okay. I'll play the game on halloween with friends

[trim rock]

FXAA is sharp and ok, but might leave annoying shimmering in places. TAA fixes the shimmering but can significantly blur the image, and can also introduce ghosting artifacts on moving things

Like additional motion blur

[buoyant osprey]

Where did we go wrong with AA.

[drifting rose]

deferred renderers

[fringe salmon]

yeah that

[trim rock]

Oh and not using TAA might also show a lot of visual noise with some effects (like reflections and shadows), but this is very depending on what rendering techniques the game uses

[fringe salmon]

deferred and TAA complacency

[buoyant osprey]

Hope SH2 does not suffer from that.

[fringe salmon]

TAA really suffered from bad default implementations

it's not the best but it can be so much better than a lot of implementations we have

[drifting rose]

like how the PS3 could be good but nobody bothered to optimize for it lel

[fringe salmon]

nah thats 10x harder xD

[trim rock]

Like seriously, how can developers look at all those motion and ghosting artifacts and think yep that's okay ship it

[drifting rose]

DLAA is a bit better than TAA at least, but gotta be on nvidia for that

[buoyant osprey]

I used DLAA for BG3.

[fringe salmon]

FSRAA is also better and its usable without the rest of the FSR sdk but nobody bothered using that

[nimble current]

simple just shift the blame on peoples monitors

[trim rock]

Oh yeah maybe all those developers only have monitors with really shitty response times so it just looks normal

[fringe salmon]

honestly

[drifting rose]

2015-16 ish games I can at least use DSR at 4x resolution on windows and they will run good, but not linux 😭

[fringe salmon]

wouldnt shock me

[solemn vine]

I just hate the weird white ghosting effect I get on objects when I move the camera

[maiden tulip]

rockstar is on some crack

[nimble current]

I try to use as little as possible for performance but sometimes it just looks too ass with no AA at all

[fringe salmon]

just the worse it is the less it makes an edge smooth and just smudged the entire screen

[fallow bronze]

Yeah.. Duhhh
:p

I prefer taa over fxaa

So it's still developed by them, I guess it's not necessarily the same studio as P3R but P-Studio and Studio Zero are both very closely related

[outer pollen]

Ohhhhhh ok ok

I really liked Unicorn Overlord I know it was published by Atlus

[solemn vine]

I mean for perspective about how similar Studio Zero and P-Studio are, I believe Studio Zero was formed by the director of Persona 5

And in many ways Metaphor feels like Persona but in a high fantasy setting and with DDS mechanics

[outer pollen]

I wish they’d remaster SMT IV for pc

[solemn vine]

Honestly that might explain a lot about P3R now that I think about it, it's a team trying to emulate what P5 was like but without the same lead creatives

Also I complained about Metaphor running poorly before, that was on me

Bad settings, changed em and it runs smooth at both 1440p and 4K

[outer pollen]

Nice I’m excited to play it

[solemn vine]

Probably still gonna like SMTVV better but it's good that 2024 finally has a NEW game I'm at least kinda interested in

Or maybe better, the super hardcore tryhards will be in ranked during the ranked hours, we'll see

[hardy merlin]

In can go both ways
Either Dota way, where there are only tryhards on ranked and everyone else plays All Pick casual
Or CS way, where if you want to play a normal game you have to play ranked

[trim rock]

This is basically the dota team

Lmao they came out and said it, wow

[orchid prism]

Surprising no one.

CS2 is still unplayable for me months later.

I don't think I ever jumped in Overwatch's ranked mode proper. The few times I tried for some kind of reward, people were super sweaty, tryhards with zero chill and way, way too much blame on everyone else 😄

[novel umbra]

the point of sbmm is kinda that you don't need to worry about it

so you won't get thrown into matches with super sweaty people when you just wanna have fun

but instead get thrown into a match with people that also just wanna have fun

[hardy merlin]

Sure
If those were true SBMMs
Not engagement-based "S"BMMs

Aka EOMM, which I'm pretty sure most games use nowadays

[novel umbra]

yea, different issue

which normally does not happen with regular SBMM

[hardy merlin]

My passive skill is "I don't want to play this game anymore" after one lost match and "let's switch to Satisfactory" after 3

[heavy gull]

the factory must shrink (i came up with a better plan to pack it all tighter together)

[fringe salmon]

damn australian regulation really wanting to step up now that germany scrutinzes games less lol

nah

[hardy merlin]

Sony is
They are the distributor/publisher on PS5 after all

[fringe salmon]

it didnt receive a rating, it wasnt banned so I dont see anything happening beside AUS people getting a refund

the rating denied was for the original version not the ps5 release

same game on different platforms needs seperate ratings still

(unless australian ratings are wildly different from basically every other country where it needs individual ratings)

the ps5 came out in 2020

so none of these are for the ps5 version

[novel umbra]

well they just tightened it up again in germany

stuff on steam got delisted if the devs don't fill out a stupid form

[fringe salmon]

the game came out on ps5 last year

you dont get a rating 4 years in advance when the console isnt even out yet

[novel umbra]

should it not be included in the multiplat rating?

[fringe salmon]

idk how it gets included, it might include it if you were to submit it now but you dont get a rating that extends for future games if its not out yet

also only the collection is 2019, the individual game rating is from 2015

you are not getting a rating 5 years before the next console is out and 8 years before the game is released

not even first party studios have dev kits that would work for that

not a lawyer obviously but I think that would be hard to show intent or whatever the standard would be that needs to be met

if it was RC absolutely, but if it wasnt submitted for rating and instant refund/removal upon notice seems like all they can ask for

doesnt matter, interpretations change, how the ratings get applied change and it's not classified as the same product so it's not relevant what another version got

laws didnt change in germany either and in 2011, after 17 years the ban on the sale of Doom was lifted because it was no longer rated the same way

expanding capacities or efficiency

expanding space efficiency and total power grid capacity i guess haha

7:1 is insane

let's hope they can keep up in the datacenter GPU segment

[fringe salmon]

oh you dont need to worry about gata center gpu lol

technically they are doing even better there just nvidia was ahead and didnt stumble

but you have things like meta inferecing their latest lama model exclusively on mi300

@cold anvil just in case

[cold anvil]

Heard of this

also you got my hopes up with that ping 😭 \

I really thought batch 2 got an update

[cold anvil]

how can there be a demo for an online game?

hmm

Im adding it to my wishlist tho gonna check out the 'demo' later

[outer pollen]

I guess early access?

The game randomly plummets on frames for me

[cold anvil]

could be but at that point just call it that lol

anyone watching the G2 game? 👀

So cool

[pulsar prism]

They looked good for 5 minutes

[icy wyvern]

game 2 was hard to watch . went from Gtwo to Gthrew

[crystal juniper]

it's nice to not be a western fan. Worlds would be quite depressing every year

[icy wyvern]

Even though FlyQuest faced the #1 LCK team, they still took a W and fucking COOKED. Even with the loss it was a banger to watch

[pulsar prism]

They made it entertaining at the very least

[icy wyvern]

I can only imagine the Kesha co-stream

[crystal juniper]

this may be the 8 asian teams in quarterfinals year if g2 gets BLG in the draw

[icy wyvern]

did you do pickems?

[crystal juniper]

yeah, i went risky pickems though to try get a pt advantage before quarters

it didnt pay off lol

[icy wyvern]

I mean if TL beats GAM it could be TL vs G2. unlikely Fnatic beat Weibo so it could even be Weibo vs G2 and either would be okay for them

If g2 advance I might get a perfect swiss stage. got the pts with Gen G going 3-0, have 5 of the spots already correct. Just basically need G2 to edge out Weibo

[crystal juniper]

I put BLG to 3-0 and LNG not making it with weibo going over them to quarters. Was hoping lng would bomb out and BLG would ruin the gen g 3-0

then i'd gain like 30pts over others in pickems lol

unfortunately i should have gone with the safe gen g 3-0 and 8 eastern teams

[icy wyvern]

I did 7 eastern, with G2

But it's always Gen.G

[crystal juniper]

i think if you do 8 eastern teams + gen g 3-0 you get at least 7 picks right

it's highest min/max safety

but least fun way to do pickems lol

[icy wyvern]

yea that's pretty fair. just trying to milk the 100%

because you'll have games like HLE vs GENG etc and their own regions knock them out.

Also idk what

what's happening with BLG. They sub Wei which is interesting. Seems like internal conflict

[crystal juniper]

it's like you swapped T1 and BLG just before worlds

T1 was looking awful last meta

but now they're destroying lol

Caedral is right though - LPL needs to do well this worlds or their viewership is going to tank

younger gen china is moving to valorant and other games

[icy wyvern]

yea I actually put bili to win worlds in my crystal ball. seems like a mistake in hindsight lol

"no way LCK clenches another one... right?"

[slow bane]

looks like I am getting it from the high seas

thanks for the assist

[silver garden]

Yes and it has been abandoned since 2017.

Tim Sweeney hates Unreal Tournament with burning passion and doesn't have the dignity to even formally announce that the game will be shutting down.

[fringe salmon]

shouldn't you be happy about that? it would be developed in UE5 otherwise

[nimble current]

did epic even mention its unreal roots at its 25th anniversary last year

[silver garden]

Ye know I did have those thoughts.
If UT would've continued development and eventually release like a normal live service game. Who says they wouldn't have destroyed it later on like every other live service game there is?

After all they did that to Paragon before shutting it down.

[silver garden]

They stopped acknowledging Unreal since it's 20th anniversary back in 2018.

They "celebrated that" by adding a music pack to Fortnite, which honestly was more like a spit in the face rather than celebration. And after that absolutely zero mention of it other than the infamous removal from all stores.

[orchid prism]

Yes please?

Fortnite killed Unreal. Q_Q

[nimble current]

meanwhile valve rolling out a half-life documentary and did a bunch of updates for the game

[fringe salmon]

you're missing the point mansen, he thinks ue5 is making games so bad that story games get worse story because of it

[orchid prism]

Heh

[nimble current]

just adding back the og menu into half-life made me a bit giddy

[silver garden]

I did not say that but sure, believe what you want.

[fringe salmon]

dont remember if it was story or level design or whatnot

[silver garden]

It obviously doesn't affect the story, don't be stupid.

But it does affect more or less everything else.

Too bad you are not getting what you want.

[trim rock]

You can get UT from archive.org oh wait

did they remove for sale because they were developing a new version?

ugh
it's 70 fucking dollars for a 14 year old game's port

like, a full remake, sure
a DLC for RDR2, allowing you to play through RDR1 immediately following Epilogue part 2, sure

but for a PORT
of the original game
that should have been ported 14 years ago?

no
hell nah
