[hardy merlin]

Singleplayer in V was pretty good
What I'm more suspicious about is that they'll try to intertwine GTA Online with singleplayer

Or, well, Story mode at this stage

[novel umbra]

while it was good I personally feel like it still wasn't especially good for a gta game

[compact oriole]

they said that or youre guessing it might happen?

[hardy merlin]

Guessing - wouldn't it be nice if some players bought Shark cards to progress the story faster?

[novel umbra]

[compact oriole]

well you already know early actual access will be sold at a premium

now the question is if they do an ubisoft and also sell day1 dlc at a higher price

[novel umbra]

yea but if they have you do somewhat annoying side missions to grind money to progress the main story or you could just pay 10 bucks for a nice million to progress then they make free money

[novel umbra]

to be fair, gta v had no dlc

even tho gta games previously tended to at least have side stories of some kind

[compact oriole]

well its free money now

you just sell dlc later that was part of the main game

[small comet]

or you just cheat it in

[hardy merlin]

Not if you have to be always online

[novel umbra]

that is why you have an anticheat

[compact oriole]

depends if they add their usual cheat commands or not

[novel umbra]

so the avg person can't do it

[novel umbra]

in gta v cheating restricted you from saving etc

[hardy merlin]

Nah, I doubt they'll go with DLC
DLC - lots of work, some money
Online updates - less work, way more money

[small comet]

if gta6 is like gta5 then cheating is easy

especially if they do P2P again

[novel umbra]

gta 5 didn't use to have an anticheat

it does now

[small comet]

and its still easy

[novel umbra]

afaik it is still easily bypassed but it makes it harder so the avg person will struggle more with it

[small comet]

na the injectors are public

there is nothing hard to figure out or such

[novel umbra]

• I am pretty sure rockstar let people cheat a bit willingly so they could ban more people so they would rebuy the game more

[compact oriole]

adblock is also public. yet most people dont use it

[small comet]

no need to rebuy you just get put into cheater lobbies

getting banned in gta5 has almost no consequences

[novel umbra]

didn't they do both

[hardy merlin]

Well yeah, EAC and BattlEye aren't as much as solution for cheaters, as just a tool for securing sales of the game
Make regular banwaves of most obvious cheaters, because 90% will rebuy the game

[small comet]

not that im aware of

[novel umbra]

idk the entire lobby mechanics of 5 sucked massive ass and is one of the main reasons I would not play gta VI online

unless they change it to work better

[small comet]

the reason it sucks is mainly cause of it being P2P imo

[novel umbra]

also is part of the issue

I have no big issues with p2p if the lobbys are just with the 3/4 people I wanna play with tho

[small comet]

yeah i meant more as the public lobby thing

[novel umbra]

and then more actual content and less stupid minigames

the entire money-thing also is stupid af

[small comet]

yes

but good for the shareholders

[novel umbra]

like locking missions behind dozens of hours of grind

just so you can play the content that is fun

[compact oriole]

bad game design

[hardy merlin]

Profit-driven game design
Or more engagement-driven

[small comet]

grind isnt engagement if its boring af

[compact oriole]

it is on their paper

[novel umbra]

it is made on purpose so the grind is boring

so you spend money on shark cards to do the fun parts

[compact oriole]

were you able to do that in gta5?

[small comet]

yes im just saying that its not engagement driven

[small comet]

basically

[compact oriole]

[small comet]

people also bought ps3 psn accounts with hacked data at leves and money amounts freely chosen which you could import into an existing next gen account

you could get hundreds of levels and billions of dollars for like 5 or 10bucks

[hardy merlin]

It doesn't matter if you had fun
All that matters is that you spent more time in the game
So sunk-cost fallacy will kick in, you'll play even more, and maybe even spend money in the game

[pulsar prism]

can confirm I may have been banned on my steam version of gta v

they give a 30 day into a perm

or they use to

[small comet]

oh no that i play to just interact with "friends"

[hardy merlin]

Still not banned after playing online several hours on Linux

[pulsar prism]

I have 300 hours on my new account no ban

[hardy merlin]

I just copied BE .so library from Proton BE runtime to GTA folder and it worked
So much for their "we can't make it work on Linux/Steam Deck"

[small comet]

i got forcefully sucked into a friend group

and they are all popotoes so thats a plus i guess

[hardy merlin]

wah

[small comet]

they were an RL friend who moved from NA to EU... and then other old friends joined....

[fringe salmon]

That guy is a mild patreon to give you a hint about how much he vets any leak sure the source being Tyler makes it better but have to point that out xD

[compact oriole]

well what ever game they make next i hope its VR

[fringe salmon]

I hope it’s both

I would like VR but I also know too many people don’t have the option for it yet and it would be sad if HL becomes VR only at this time

[compact oriole]

if its both its a bad experience for both vr and pancake

[fringe salmon]

Nah

If they put time in to make it work differently it’ll be fine, that just happens if it’s 1 to 1 the same game just different controls

[compact oriole]

ye i dont see that happening tho

also rumored theyre making a 2nd headset but standalone this time. so chances are itll be a release together, similar to index and hla

sux they havent made a vr l4d yet

i think itd go hard af

[novel umbra]

imo alyx was made a lot harder by the fact that it is VR

much harder to do anything in combat

[compact oriole]

im not sure what you mean

[novel umbra]

aiming, taking cover etc is all a lot harder in vr than in a regular game

imo

[compact oriole]

because.. youre actually moving instead of pressing wasd and aiming?

[novel umbra]

yes

[compact oriole]

..

[novel umbra]

and I can't just strafe 5 meters to the side in my room

at any given time

at full walking speed

[compact oriole]

well usually you dont walk in your room

but with the stick

[novel umbra]

which a lot of people can't do due to motionsickness

[compact oriole]

then they gotta use the teleport

or power through it until they get used to it

idk usually people dont have 100sqm gaming rooms for vr

[novel umbra]

yea and teleport makes combat quite a bit harder

not to mention that you actually need to aim instead of just look at the enemy

[compact oriole]

im not sure what youre trying to argue here. yes moving irl is harder

its one of the best gaming experiences to date imo

definitely the best vr experience still, sadly

[novel umbra]

not helped by the fact that all weapons in alyx are just one handed + even if they were two handed you still don't have an actual reference object in hand

[novel umbra]

not denying that tho

[compact oriole]

well the 1handed weapons was a conscious choice

to make it easier and have 1 hand free for all other interactions

[novel umbra]

yea

• 2 handed can be awkward since you need a REALLY solid system

there is a good reason why sl0 focused so much on nailing that system

and i'd argue that without a reference object it still kinda falls short

[compact oriole]

i gotta get into vr more again

just such a hassle to have to physically move

[novel umbra]

you tell me, I need to also get my cats out of my room so I can play it

which is more difficult than it seems

[compact oriole]

when i played vr last i was still living iwth my mom in a tiny room and id have to sit down to play so i wouldnt smash my shit

[novel umbra]

oof

[compact oriole]

using some workaround to make it seem like im standing and binding crouch to a button

[novel umbra]

I got a space of like 2.5x4 meters or something I can use for vr

[compact oriole]

been living in a big appartment for almost 3 years now, lots of space and a better gpu and all ive done with vr is.. uh.. not play videogames

need to try sim racing. back then when i tried my pc was too fucking bad

tho id much rather prefer some kinda street racing vr game over official racing shit personally

[sinful cobalt]

oh hell NO

[novel umbra]

[sinful cobalt]

the new Factorio DLC is 32 euro

Used to be 160zł, now it's 130zł

[pure bear]

i wonder if my next pc should have a sound card

[hardy merlin]

Eh, some cheap external USB DAC will do too

I like my KA17, plug it to PC when I use it, plug to phone when I want to listen to music

[pure bear]

soundcards arent expensive either tho

[proper basin]

I just use my mobo audio

[sinful cobalt]

So im gonna spend money on this first and an ssd afterward

[pure bear]

my main issue is that the mobo I want doesnt have enough audio ports, so I'd have to use the monitor downstream port OR the front panel.

[proper basin]

I did get a nvme expansion card with my 12th gen mobo from asus

[pure bear]

the monitor I'm okay with the front panel sucks

[proper basin]

So i have more than enough possibilities to expand my storage

[pure bear]

but not with the fan

those tiny fans are horrible, get ablock of metal instead

[sinful cobalt]

I can just disconnect it

[pure bear]

i suppose

[sinful cobalt]

Tho i dont see the reason to get an nvme ssd as im fine with sata ones

[pure bear]

fast, less space, less cables

but yeah not something I'd take my pc apart for

[sinful cobalt]

Its faster but like within a few seconds

I dont care xd

[grizzled bramble]

https://www.apexstoragedesign.com/apexstoragex21 Just buy this for all teh storage

my new pc will be all M.2 it will be delightful

you should

[sinful cobalt]

And no m.2 are not cheap

[pure bear]

hey thats rad, dont you want a card to have some weird low poly chick on em

[sinful cobalt]

Why would i ?

[hardy merlin]

66.6W of +12V and 8.4W of +3V3 and +5V

[pure bear]

i never knew m2s ate that much power

[hardy merlin]

Is okay
Get GPU first

[sinful cobalt]

But for real why should i care about m.2 ssd speeds

Do i gonna notice that 1-3 second difference

[quiet vault]

so cheap

[drifting rose]

in games you won't, I think M.2 is best for OS drives

[sinful cobalt]

That would be around 200$ in Hungary or more

[quiet vault]

damn

[sinful cobalt]

Oh okay its 500$

[proper basin]

Only a huge difference with transfer speeds, also directstorage if applicable (barely). Though m.2 is just best for OS

[sinful cobalt]

SOO FUCKING CHEAP

[quiet vault]

ye

i mean who needs 4tb of gen5

[sinful cobalt]

Even the 2tb one is 350$

[quiet vault]

1tb gen4 should be enough for most people

[drifting rose]

cheaper to drive to germany and buy them here

[sinful cobalt]

1 TB for games ?

Also get a vacation as a bonus

[quiet vault]

you got 1tb of games??

[sinful cobalt]

[quiet vault]

most people probably

I mean if u only play 1 game sure

It’ll play good tho, mh hasn’t played bad in a while

[hardy merlin]

SATA supports 32 IO requests in one queue, requests are interruptible
NMVe has 65k queues, each of which can fit 65k IO requests, and they are all parallel
That's why we switched to NVMe completely now at work

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah nvme ssd’s are better for work not for video games

they taste way better too

they are very snack sized

I mean my next pc would get 2 m.2 ssd’s but thats gonna be after am6 releases

But its a little bit in the future

One big one is enough
Two if you want to separate OS and games for some reason

[pure bear]

NO

i WILL slot in too many m2 just because I can

[sinful cobalt]

I wanna separate my games from my os yes

need more teeerabeets

I just slot enough

also how am I gonna backup my mansen feet pics with just two hard drives

thats way too risky

I would just put a 500gb nvme for the OS or even just a 250gb and a 2tb for games

hoooly shit I have no idea what hunt showdown is but they done goofed

looks like a lot of people dislike them adding a ghostface skin which I guess based on DbD will cause players to slightly dip and the spike because people love franchises

maybe

I do like Hunt's new UI, but the ghostface just seems bad

Copying other games tactic like COD, not a wise choice :/

Sorry, let me rephrase that since it's 2 AM for me

Not the UI, the in game hud. It's middle now which brings more comfort on fps

The UI is meh

Etterna/step mania is a nice if you like to play 4k. Beatoraja/BMS is nice if you want to be a 7k+1 master. Both are free.

Muse Dash is nice if you don't want to commit much time, gentle timing with fuck ton of content.

[sinful cobalt]

its time to this game 👀

[maiden tulip]

I played that

The first one was better but this is good too

[vapid lintel]

Chronic wasting disease is pretty devastating tbh

[maiden tulip]

Its just a prank bro

A social experiment

[cursive dragon]

I'm bored, I've got no one else to play L4D2 with some mods 😭

and the one person ain't available

[barren pewter]

Any suggestions for NV and TTW mods?

My load order is sitting at a casual 69 mods and that ain’t enough

[cursive dragon]

So you need 420 mods

[drifting rose]

the JE sawyer mod is nice, it's just stuff that the director wanted to change but couldn't for various reasons

[cursive dragon]

A lovely experience

[vapid lintel]

👀

[cursive dragon]

That's... a lotta hours

[barren pewter]

Sawyer mod is always in my NV load orders

didn’t find a TTW compatibility patch that was updated to 3.3 at least

[cursive dragon]

Honestly, me and a few friends wanted to try one of those horror collections from the steam workshop. Turns out it kept crashing our games sometimes.

I had to remove some mods, but I haven't tested it with a friend yet since he mainly has the crashing problem

[nimble current]

am only at 400 hours of l4d2

[cursive dragon]

hehe me 33 hours

[nimble current]

those hours were also played back in like 2009 when it came out

[silver garden]

I can finally put it to rest. It's painful watching something you loved get mangled into an unrecognizable abomination.

[feral drum]

it's spookier when that stupid ass deer decides to run into the side of your car while you are driving

[outer pollen]

Game is soooooo good I'm buying it twice so my little brother can play it @proper basin

[feral drum]

happened to me last year... Minded my own business driving to office and BAM! Deer ran into my left fender and broke off the mirror

even left a shit trace on the door, but fucked off

[silver garden]

Did you track him down and put him on a cross?

[feral drum]

didn't care tbh, because my insurance covered it. Sure, I was a bit mad at it, but eh... It's a stupid animal after all

[hardy merlin]

The what now? Dota is in the best place it could be now

[maiden tulip]

Needs to be 420 mods

Or 666 mods

Or 1337 mods

Funny numbers

[barren pewter]

Then give me that many mods :P

[outer pollen]

Do you have the Companion Cube skin for io?

[silver garden]

Yes.

[outer pollen]

Such a cool skin

[silver garden]

Yeah I agree.

You want it?

[outer pollen]

I don’t think it’s tradeable

[silver garden]

Yeah it isn't.

[outer pollen]

And I suck at Dota lol

[silver garden]

I don't think it's possible to be good at dota at this point.

The game plays itself.

[outer pollen]

Oh wow it’s changed that much?

[silver garden]

Depends since when.

Since the time I noticed that the game is going downhill? Definitely.

[little cape]

its a gem of a game

I had 10k+ on black desert

Admittedly a lot is afk but only towards the end.

Wow

Hunt is impressive

What achievements are you missing for d2?

GM and seal?

Ezzzzzzz

You need older seals

Not seasonal ones

What's your Bungie id?

Nope

[quick cove]

i see destiny juicers

[bleak pike]

Was going to check the API and see if it registered.

[quick cove]

you can probably see on guardianreport right?

this site is ass

https://gm.report/

check if you have any clears on here

[bleak pike]

Sure you didn't do a master?

[quick cove]

gms aren't particularly hard, i think they made them easier now

[bleak pike]

They are easier now ye

A lot easier

[quick cove]

so you're just gonna have to jump into one when they're available

[bleak pike]

Same with master raids

[quick cove]

next week i think

prob give double nightfall rewards at that point too since it's the first week, i think they usually do that

ah gg

[bleak pike]

Even God slayer mode wasn't that bad tbh

I did it on my steam deck in the hospital XD

[quick cove]

ye pantheon was a lot easier than people were expecting i think

[bleak pike]

No

I streamed from my desktop at home XD XD XD

[quick cove]

that is crazy

[proper basin]

I did so many raids

Most of my time is raids

[quick cove]

you'd have still performed better than some of the people i found in lfgs

[bleak pike]

It was difficult but I managed

I was in hospital for 4 months and was still doing my raids etc XD

[quick cove]

i had a guy wearing blue armor, nothing masterworked w 3k triumph score in my fireteam farming gos 2 days ago

[bleak pike]

Although towards the end (I spent a month in rehab so a total of 5) I had a laptop that could play it so it got easier.

[quick cove]

as a pvp player, pantheon was hella fun

legit riven was super fun

[proper basin]

Wish theyd still have scourge of the past

Miss that raid

[quick cove]

they're bringing it back most likely

[proper basin]

I hope so

[quick cove]

it's probably less likely they don't at this point

[proper basin]

I want my old raids back so badly

RoN i did enjoy a lot though

[quick cove]

oh hell nah

[proper basin]

So much scourge vibes in the encounters

Planetary room is peak

[bleak pike]

You say that

[bleak pike]

Same

[proper basin]

Any of the planetary encounters are my favorite

[quick cove]

everything related to lightfall is so weird considering it was all filler and it was like a non-canon spinoff

[proper basin]

Yeah it was pretty bad

But i always like the raids at least

[bleak pike]

Strand was neat

Final Shapes story was lame, witch queen was the best.

There, I said it

[proper basin]

Threadweaver is a banger subclass though

[quick cove]

apparently strand was supposed to be with witch queen

Ye threadweaver icon from the armor, the icon just has worms to make it different

[quick cove]

i forgot most of the ties, but it was pretty obvious

[bleak pike]

There's other signs it was meant to be in witch queen

The final fight is literally meant for strand

Thread weavers etc

[proper basin]

Ye there were other signs obvs

just beat Shadow Generations greatest Sonic game of all time

[maiden tulip]

Worth full price?

Was waiting for a sale cuz welp remaster

[proper basin]

maaan

ff16 crashed mid final boss

[maiden tulip]

I 100%ed the game (except new game plus) and never had a single crash

😮

[proper basin]

It’s the only crash i had too

During a scene transition on the final phase

[maiden tulip]

Did you do the dlc before ultima?

[proper basin]

No i dont have the dlc

[maiden tulip]

You should get it

[outer pollen]

In my opinion yes, if you don’t own Sonic Generations

[maiden tulip]

Rising tide is super worth playing through

[maiden tulip]

I own generations

[proper basin]

I was gonna finish base game first

[outer pollen]

I’d wait for a sale then

[maiden tulip]

Technically the dlc is set right before the final boss

But you can just boot up your save again after

It takes you back to right before

[proper basin]

Yeah id figure its before the final boss

Only makes sense story wise

[maiden tulip]

Its like 6 hours worth of dlc content

2 new pretty damn cool big boss fights

Well more if you include the side quest "bosses"

And the challenge mode

[proper basin]

I was absolutely styling on that final phase tho maan

[maiden tulip]

Challenge mode gives you cool shit

Kaiser gate or whatever its called

Kairos gate?

Kairos gate yeah

Its a cool little roguelite challenge mode

Fun to play through :3

[proper basin]

I just know i haven’t 100%’d a game since ori wotw

fallout 4 on sale

is modding still borked after the bethesda update

[proper basin]

Modders probably adapted to it id assume

Bethesda doesnt really fix things

[nimble current]

nah their most recent "legacy update" or what they called it for fallout 4 broke a bunch of mods

[proper basin]

Hence why i say modders probably adapted now

Its been a while, so id assume the maintained ones might work

[nimble current]

tbh it doesn't make a huge difference in snowrunner, also you have to unbind the stock WASD binds or they'll interfere with one another, sometimes it'll just reset the binds without doing anything which is annoying, anywho here's my profile if you want to give it a go: 7c19a8494fa5652c2d8a1d717c619284dee0

Do you need bg3 on PC in order to make mods for the PS5 version?

Or can you somehow test your mod on PS5 ?

[trim rock]

Just thinking about trying blops 6 on game pass

Jesus fuck. They already have bnet, perfectly capable of handling this situation WHY DON'T THEY JUST USE THAT

Microsoft, Xbox whatever is just full of incompetent baboons when it comes to shit like this

[silver garden]

Yes, that is pretty much how it is.

[sinful cobalt]

its only 100gb for me

[silver garden]

I tried the beta for total of 5 minutes before quitting and uninstalling the game.

[vapid lintel]

Remember Games for Windows Live?

[trim rock]

I wish I didn't

[maiden tulip]

It's 75gb on steam

[silver garden]

I even went back to a few quick matches of Infinite Warfare to quickly refresh my memory on whether call of duty was always so clunky and unbearable to play. It wasn't.

[maiden tulip]

Has to be a glitch or maybe you have warzone and mw3 installed

[trim rock]

I think because that size is for installing all 3 games in their entirety

And this thing made by complete idiots doesn't understand that or let me choose what I want

[silver garden]

Freedom of choice? In this day and age?

Only a matter of time before games will start arbitrarily locking our settings like mobile games.

[trim rock]

oh what

after deleting stuff I clicked install again and now it lets me choose what I want? kjgladhskjghsdjk

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

[silver garden]

I think this is a good indication that the game and people that made it do not want you to play it.

It's honestly like a feeling I have when booting up any new CoD game. And only in CoD games. It genuinenly feels like I am not welcome there.

The huge install size, the 7 restarts required to get all updates installed, then the first thing you see are 40 pages of code of conduct. Then you have to agree to not be toxic in an M rated game. Then the whole menu design making everything impossible to find, the endless store promotions and even the sound effects.

EVERYTHING about Call of Duty gives me this aversion... That's the best way I can put it.

[trim rock]

Yeah it really is shitty

[silver garden]

Probably the only other game I had a similar feeling with is Deadlock.

But for different reasons.

[trim rock]

Everything awful about modern games right there, and yet it still has that oldschool charm with all chat in lobbies and hearing people when you kill them etc

The nether and caves and cliffs updates were some of the standouts of the last few years

They just patched that you can't play Online on Linux again
What an absolute bunch

[trim rock]

No Tux No Bux

[hardy merlin]

Interesting is that it also broke compatibility with older versions of Windows 10

[sinful cobalt]

rockstar pls

[fringe salmon]

seems like a clear case of they dont have checks in place for that yet and if someone forgets the right checkbox it doesnt work on older setups

[still spire]

https://youtu.be/m053YyNixug

[hardy merlin]

They could enable it on Linux just as easily
They use the most standard version of BattlEye there is, no custom modules, no kernel-specific protections, nothing
It's the most barebones standard version just slapped on top of exe

[fringe salmon]

oh yeah I imagine its literally just a checkbox somewhere and they forget to enable it sometimes

or for testing they had a cofig file that breaks linux or similar and that doesnt get disabled or anything like that

[hardy merlin]

For Linux they have to send a mail to BE, so they can enable .so generation for exe
But given their support and forum responses it's deliberate
Not sure why, but whatever floats their boat

[quiet vault]

[digital dawn]

notice how they’re not talking about the ps5 having games?

[digital dawn]

GTA5 is one of the most played games on the steam deck ever

[fading spade]

^ yeah
It was consistently within the top 10 played games on Deck since the Deck launched

[fading spade]

I love seeing all the salt and anger and coping that the Sony Ponies are doing when Sony announced Spider Man 2 for PC in less than a year that it launched on PS5

That last point, If those Xbox players who want to jump ship....why would they go to playstation? Theyd have to buy all the games again and their saves wont carry over

But if they go to PC, they can have their Xbox games and save files on PC carried over from their Xbox account

so it doesnt make since, unless the Xbox jumpers want to stick to consoles only

[fringe salmon]

okay, what did a playstation fanboy do to you, did they run over your goldfish or something

[fading spade]

I can never figure out why they think exclusive games are better than not being exclusive

Some even admit to only buying the PS5 cause of exclusive games and the console would have been pointless to buy otherwise.....

Yet they advocate for more exclusive games

[fringe salmon]

its the idk 10th time you post some random ps5 fanboy saying dumb shit and I dont remember a single take on an xbox fanboy so I just wonder what those did to you

[fading spade]

Cause I dont see those often

Its usually PS fanboys I see around

[fringe salmon]

I mean if you see some rando twitter post that barely gets 100 likes it feels like you're searching for them

[cursive dragon]

Ahh yes, a lovely experience with a multi million dollar company

[fringe salmon]

personally I think the arguments are dumb because people are complaining the ps5 is pointless because it has no games yet at the same point dont want them to make exclusives for it either lol

[fading spade]

Dont forget that they are spreading false information about Linux in the forum post about the Battleye update!!

Claiming that Linux does not support Battleye and that its impossible to make it happen

I forgot the wayback machine is still down 😢

They changed the forum post to removed the informatin

[cursive dragon]

Funny how R* decides to update BattlEye against Linux, yet mod menus no longer has an effect

They've done a Ubishit moment

[fading spade]

Dont they all still work without issues?

I saw that there has been no impact against cheaters on there

[cursive dragon]

No they have not impacted modders

There have been no ban reports by modders

[bleak pike]

Andreas Ullmann: I think two main reasons. First, our solution simply works. Pirates cannot play games which are using our solution over quite long time periods, usually until the publisher decides to patch out our solution. So there is a huge community, a lot of people on this planet who are not able to play their favorite video games, because they are not willing to pay for them, and therefore they have a lot of time to spend in communities and share their view and try to blame Denuvo for a lot of things - trying to make the gaming publishers to not use our solutions so they can start playing pirate copies of games for free again.

Secondly, I think it's super hard for a gamer. I'm a gamer myself, and therefore I know what I'm talking about. I think it's super hard to see, as a gamer, what is the immediate benefit for me that a certain game developer, game publisher, is using our anti-piracy services.

Lmao

[fringe salmon]

hes not wrong, most of these unhinged people are just mad and terminally online and like to blame denuvo for stuff it doesnt do

[fading spade]

Does Denuvo "simply work" though? I thought people cracked it in most games

[fringe salmon]

people basically never crack it

what they do is fake the authentication server or similar and act like its legit

but not sure how that matters either way

[vapid lintel]

However, they do provide wonderful entertainment

Like that absolutely deranged character Empress

[small comet]

lol empress is truly a goldmine of entertainment

[lone raptor]

I remember reading tales about this

[small comet]

almost as good as the malibal guy

[fading spade]

Malibal guy?

[fringe salmon]

imo the only valid complaint is game preservation and similar but thats mostly on the publishers who could jsut remove drma fter a while

[small comet]

just some guy running his own laptop company selling rebatched laptops (think clevos etc) and the guy banned 5 countries from ordering from his store as well as never offering AMD inside any of the laptops because he had beef with usually singular people from those countries or well AMD

[vapid lintel]

How's that don't kill games petition going?

[small comet]

oh and he bans anyone using goole services or ios services and devices from their website

totally unhinged "CEO"

[fading spade]

[small comet]

yeah was about coreboot and him expecting companies to do his work for him for free

basically

[fringe salmon]

idk dont follow it because I dont think thats the best way to handle it

[small comet]

how so

like whats the better option available

[drifting rose]

37%, it's something. I still need to sign it, the EU site was buggy when I wanted to

[proper basin]

Been on my wishlist for a good while now, pretty exciting

[fringe salmon]

idk it seems like a basic wish without clear idea and telling politicians to just figure it out doesnt seem like the best idea to me

[quiet vault]

what is this for

[vapid lintel]

Hup Holland Hup 🇳🇱

[small comet]

im pretty sure the idea is to get the EU and the initiative to figure it out together because ngl i also wouldnt know what the best way is to do this legally

[drifting rose]

EU citizen petition to make it illegal for publishers to shut down online games and thus making them lost media

[outer pollen]

So the company needs to fund the servers forever?

[fringe salmon]

god no

[quiet vault]

the shareholders do not approve

[small comet]

imo getting a foot in the door is better than doing nothing

[small comet]

lol no

why do people immediately jump to that

[vapid lintel]

The companies need to remove the specific blocks that prevent people from self hosting after the life of the game

[outer pollen]

Ooohhhh

Neat

[small comet]

well or any other solution to keep the game playable

be it an offline SP mode or whatever

[quiet vault]

just make the menu work

[small comet]

i think this also might go into is buying a game owning it or not

because one could argue as you only purchase a license you have no right to incist on being able to play forever as the license is still in your posession thus you have not been deprived of any of your posessions

[vapid lintel]

Selling a license is fine

Selling a license while calling it a game you own is not

[fading spade]

👀 speaking of that Malibal guy.....

[small comet]

yes

[verbal nymph]

It'll be nice if they succeed with it, DJMax and EZ2ON needs internet to play and it'll a pain if they just shut down. Ez2on might be fine, but DJMax is like owned by Nexon? Yeh, not the best hope.

[small comet]

and austria, poland, lichtenstein, texas and california i believe

[fading spade]

o.o

[fringe salmon]

yes and now we all Streisand the name and the previously unknown idiot guy is now getting notoriety

[drifting rose]

well the "any publicity is good publicity" doctrine has been thoroughly disproven by this point

[small comet]

let them get it lol

everyones making fun of them and im pretty sure they just keep shooting themselves in the foot

[fringe salmon]

yeah but they would've sawed off their own foot anyway

[small comet]

i mean

literally the dumbest shit ever

[rancid hearth]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1092357854628941925/1128896549246734366/schizo_pills.gif

[small comet]

and the funny part is none of those people have done anything wrong

[rancid hearth]

not surprising

[fringe salmon]

one of the devs also replied on reddit how this guy is basically just making up shit and was the ass to deal with that he described others to be

[pure bear]

I wonder how they think banning entire countries is somehow beneficial to them

like do they think everyone in colorado is crying about how they cant get a laptop now

[small comet]

yeah dont ask me man

its just funny to follow the drama for this

[pure bear]

the strange part is how a schizo got so far as to even have a product

[small comet]

makes me laugh all the time

[pure bear]

this is the type of guy to piss in a train underpass and yell about aliens

[small comet]

anyone can buy clevo laptops ofr example and brand them as their own

not hard at all

[pure bear]

i see

[drifting rose]

it's like when an emotionally abusive person punches herself and yells "look what you made me do!!"

[small comet]

oh yeah ive read excerpts of the guys own blog post of how terrible all these companies and people supposedly were.... its hillarious

https://www.malibal.com/features/dont-support-the-coreboot-project/

also seems some bans have changed like texas is now maryland

[tacit tulip]

Does anyone here play Counter Strike?

[gusty oar]

anyone here played reaver

[tacit tulip]

I've never heard of that

[gusty oar]

looks cool
i’ve heard it described as “if ultrakill is gay sex, reaver is straight sex” lmao

[gusty oar]

i used to play 1.6 but nothing past it

it got a bit much for me during its later years
no i played source too but

[tacit tulip]

@gusty oar Oh ok

[gusty oar]

im honestly surprised at its popularity
it was popular back in the day but nothing like today

[small comet]

ill level with you fam... this just sounda homophobic

[tacit tulip]

More people have access to PCs

[pure bear]

its free

[tacit tulip]

And competitive players all go there since every good Esports title ended up becoming bad

[gusty oar]

i have no idea how

im mtf and solely like men so i have absolutely no idea how you got that from it, ultrakill is deeply rooted in lgbtq+ so its just an analogy

[pure bear]

carrie rn

:p

[gusty oar]

but uh
think whatever you want to think i guess, i think the game looks awesome
both gay sex and straight sex are good so idk what you’re getting at

[tacit tulip]

We went from talking about CS to sexuality in only around 10 messages

[gusty oar]

nah he said that just to say that i have no idea how he got that

[gusty oar]

blame tony for mistaking a playful analogy as hate from an lgbt person

very weird take

[pure bear]

i just want to cool the mood a bit with cute cat meme

[gusty oar]

im all for cat memes, its a pretty cat

[tacit tulip]

I don't know anything about the colours for the things

[vapid lintel]

I've just made a discovery

[gusty oar]

the mood does chill whenever tak comes out

[vapid lintel]

Tak backwards is Kat

[proper basin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-25669918

[gusty oar]

this is breaking
i can’t believe you’ve done this ill never look at it the same…

i can’t believe it 😭

tak secretly a kat in disguise???
