[maiden tulip]

I generally do decent on the leaderboard

I dont really pay attention

Tbh

[clear osprey]

ignorance is bliss

don’t worry, I think you’ll be ok

[maiden tulip]

@rapid bramble am i good at call of duty

[clear osprey]

that game is fucked though

that’s coming from me, I used to make content on cod

[maiden tulip]

He'll be able to tell you lol

[clear osprey]

if you’re out of the loop I’ll try to just sum it up

[rapid bramble]

In team deathmatch sure, in obj modes idk

[clear osprey]

the game has had an SBMM system in place for a while, but what isn’t being spoken about is the possibility that there’s an EOMM system in place (engagement optimised matchmaking) which is essentially nerfing and buffing players in real time to level the playing field

there is lots of evidence to suggest there’s manipulation at play

essentially, the game is rigged

[maiden tulip]

I knew about SBMM but not about EOMM

[clear osprey]

the game is bleeding players even on a free weekend because people are tired of it

[maiden tulip]

hush i totally do the objectives

All the time

i swear

[clear osprey]

I’m not hating either, I genuinely really liked the movement and tried to enjoy the game

it just didn’t feel like an authentic experience

[maiden tulip]

Maybe i just like it cuz i'm more of a casual cod player

[clear osprey]

it’s possible yeah

[maiden tulip]

Only pvp game i ever took seriously was halo

halo just feels good

[clear osprey]

you on keyboard on controller btw?

[maiden tulip]

Keeb

[clear osprey]

have you noticed any strange experiences with the gunfights?

like for instance, one game a certain gun feels really good and then the next it takes like 10 bullets to drop someone?

[maiden tulip]

Only when the packet burst icon shows up

[clear osprey]

haha, there you go

and let me make an assumption here

your internet is probably fantastic right? maybe even wired connection?

[maiden tulip]

I'm assuming it just fucks up and pairs us with us west players sometimes

[clear osprey]

it’s safe to assume you probably don’t experience packet burst or lag frequently in other games?

[maiden tulip]

Instead of na east

[clear osprey]

haha oh no my friend

that’s the thing, it’s on purpose

[trim rock]

At least in MW3 that packet burst was a constant bastard, but could be fixed by disabling that texture streaming nonsense

I think it's forced on in blops 6

[maiden tulip]

Doesn't happen too often tho (besides like the first few days after launch)

Also generally it never happens if i play at stupid times on a weekday

Only really on friday nights/weekends

[clear osprey]

I don’t think I have had a single full game without the packet burst being present on my screen for roughly 70-80% of the game

[maiden tulip]

I think their servers just suck

[clear osprey]

a totally fair assumption to make, but there’s a lot of nuance to this one

[trim rock]

They absolutely are kinda sucky

[maiden tulip]

Sometimes the simplest explanation is the most logical

[clear osprey]

there’s a lot of reason to believe it’s not just the tick rate

[maiden tulip]

Kinda reminds me of Battlefield 4 back in the day

The netcode was awful

For like... the first year

[clear osprey]

https://youtu.be/ZqxcRxUamGU?si=SIAmW0EbmvsptJTg

I’ll try not to get all conspiratorial on you

[maiden tulip]

Yes i know i'm talking about a game from 2013 but like

Battlefield 4 had notorious server issues

The bo6 just reminds me of battlefield at launch

[clear osprey]

the key thing here is consistency though

[maiden tulip]

I'm just saying it wouldn't be the first time in history this happens

[clear osprey]

those games were consistently poor performing

the issues here are sporadic and inconsistent

and, not to mention, people have been testing it extensively and finding they can somewhat repeat the results through certain behaviours

[maiden tulip]

BF4's netcode was consistently shit for a solid year

[clear osprey]

that’s right, that’s what I’m trying to say

the issues in bo6 are not consistent

[maiden tulip]

I see

[clear osprey]

from what can be observed, it’s circumstantial

that’s the thing that should be of concern

a while ago, they announced that their anti cheat ricochet was able to give cheaters in warzone ‘ghost bullets’ once it detected them

just something to ponder

[maiden tulip]

I still remember how battlefield 4 really pissed me off because back then i was just a 16 year old who saved her money to build her first gaming pc so yeah i was upset that the game barely worked lol

[clear osprey]

I loved that game soooo much once it stabilised

it was probably my favourite shooter when I was on console

[maiden tulip]

It was really good when it got fixed

I played that game way too much

[clear osprey]

phenomenal yeah

same here

[trim rock]

Alright cool so I watched the first 20 seconds of that clip, bet it was just some bullshit 1 health survival or some shit. Where's the replay? Doesn't the game have a replay system could you just check that to see what happened

[clear osprey]

that’s not the best clip example unfortunately, just the first thing I could find

[maiden tulip]

I just realized your discord says you're 23... means you were 11 when battlefield 4 released

[clear osprey]

🫡

been shooting since I was 10

[maiden tulip]

When i was 10 i was playing halo 3

[clear osprey]

I played tf out of halo 3 as well

[maiden tulip]

I remember my dad had bought the legendary edition with the master chief helmet was supposed to me my brother and i's christmas gift

And he just gave us the game early and we ended up playing the hell out of it

In splitscreen

I still have the halo 3 helmet in my living room lol

Remember when games had cool special editions

[clear osprey]

omgggg

REAL

[mellow garden]

I used to enjoy some Day of Defeat back in the day

[clear osprey]

I just wanted to make a final point around the whole EOMM/SBMM thing. I’ve been playing shooters for 13 years, and I’ve never experienced something like what we’re seeing today. I’ve noticed that the better I do and the more I actually perform in this game, the harder the match gets and the more unlucky and ‘laggy’ it becomes. There’s no other words that I can put to it to do justice, it’s just been my experience consistently @maiden tulip @trim rock

[severe compass]

Modern special editions be like "Pay an extra $80 and gain access to data already on the disk!"

[clear osprey]

the scoreboards are always behaving incredibly weird as well, with games finishing infinitely closer than they ever have in the past

[trim rock]

I've been playing shooters for almost 19 years and am sadly not good enough anymore to get affected by any of that. Too much of a filthy casual

[clear osprey]

you’re a veteran sir 🫡

[trim rock]

Well close matches is what SBMM tries to achieve and tbh I like that, feels like I had a real effect on the match

[clear osprey]

I really would like to give this game the benefit of the doubt and dot it down to poor servers but my gut has just been telling me that isn’t it

but I’m only human, I could easily be misled and fooled

I’m just highly perceptive of it and it does feel like I’m being intentionally manipulated in real time

and for what it’s worth it seems like an overwhelming majority of players are starting to say the same thing

[trim rock]

I also have not played blops 6 since my game pass expired a month after release, so maybe it's more a recent thing

[clear osprey]

it’s been there since launch

but there’s a pace to it, and a rhythm

you have to catch onto it and be observant

[orchid prism]

Ah yes. The helmet that wasn't actually a helmet 😄

[nimble current]

sniffing on 30 years here

[clear osprey]

so many veterans

I salute all of you, I’m only 23 but I always worry that I’m getting old and slowing down

[trim rock]

Yeah this place is full of boomers and zoomers

[small comet]

a good friend of mine has that special edition and when i saw it i was disappointed when he said its not a helmet.... like thats what people would want right... it being a helmet

[verbal nymph]

Rhythm game DLC be like

[clear osprey]

did any old head shooters here play much quake?

I feel like this generation needs a good arena shooter so desperately, I always feel shocked that there isn’t a popular one dominating the scene

considering everyone’s been gaining interest in movement

[orchid prism]

Haven't found a decent fast paced shooter since Titanfall 2 collapsed.

[outer pollen]

Apex Legends

[mellow garden]

I miss the early PUBG days when it was mega scuffed

[orchid prism]

Hahaha...no

[nimble current]

I did

og quake ctf is probably the first memories I got of playing online

[clear osprey]

echo point nova is amazing but it’s not necessarily pvp

you ‘can’ play it pvp… but it doesn’t have an official supported mode

[clear osprey]

REAL

THIS IS ME!

ok only the first few parts

[maiden tulip]

Msn messenger was pog

[pastel bolt]

quake 3 arena on every lan party ✋

[clear osprey]

literally why is there not currently an arena shooter dominating the market

it feels like the perfect time and the perfect market

everyone is hooked on movement

I need it

[nimble current]

quake 3 excessive plus mod needs to make a comeback

[pure bear]

isnt the Finals an arena shooter

[clear osprey]

no

[pastel bolt]

well, there was quake champions and tribes ascend but both died

[pure bear]

the best arena shooter there ever was

[pastel bolt]

And epic scrapped unreal tournament because of Fortnite

[clear osprey]

it never quite took off did it?

[pure bear]

is this

[maiden tulip]

TAK

[pure bear]

yes?

[maiden tulip]

THATS A GOOD GAME I HAVE THE DEMO CARTRIDGE

[pure bear]

I have the full game i liked it so much

i played tooons

[maiden tulip]

as a kid i just played the demo... over and over and over again

Back in the day it had a free demo cart with the ds tank lol

[pure bear]

mhm

[clear osprey]

I want to post my echo point nova clips again so bad but I know no one cares

[pure bear]

we played it in the school hallway lol

[clear osprey]

[maiden tulip]

I saw trailers for that game

[clear osprey]

don’t make me post it, don’t do it

[maiden tulip]

It seemed cool same guy who made severed steel right?

[clear osprey]

AHHHHHH

yes

[maiden tulip]

i played severed steel

Good game

[clear osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/thirsty-spongebob-i-dont-need-it-sweat-gif-5031443

ok but seriously if they polish up EPN and give it a proper multiplayer mode it would be absolutely mental

lord forgive me I’m posting it again

[pastel bolt]

you would've loved Tribes

[clear osprey]

probably right

[cold anvil]

This might be THE game of all time

[grizzled bramble]

Just finished one of the harder difficulties on Space marine 2 operations mode with some randoms and phew was it sweaty, the enemies where like bullet sponges lol

Oh Steam replay has dropped

Not a lot of gaming in November lol

Alan wake 2 DLC is missing from this though

[outer pollen]

[warped wing]

OMG thats an easy buy!

[orchid prism]

PEGI needs to be demolished.

They decided to give Balatro a +18 rating because "it promotes gambling, and uses real hands"

Meanwhile your average EA sports game with actual, real gambling is +3

[light lion]

wth between that and these companies being funded by investors with like these safety ratings

industry is so bad now

[green comet]

is there a channel for profile sharing?

[orchid prism]

Kind of? #🌈│wootabase_profiles

It's an old system (and fan created website) that's waiting for a fresh coat of paint.

[green comet]

thanks ill check it out

just found the site on reddit as soon as u said that lmao

[scarlet marlin]

for the gacha or?

the better genshin impact

[scarlet marlin]

you mean these?

[feral ferry]

is real
Yes, we literally ducking know that from leaked Microsoft documents

No need for an unreliable leaker to reaffirm what is already known

The bigger question was always was it cancelled or not after being slated for release in 2021 iirc

And I don't trust anyone that's not Schreier to answer that question

[small comet]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1643320/view/525329871842312365

frigg yes

right in time for christmas

[light lion]

omg 1800 is insane

[feral ferry]

That looks really good actually

[light lion]

a lot of a life changes too

[feral ferry]

The problem is, my main qualms with the game are not fixable by the devs, but by modders lol

[small comet]

? if modders can fix it then devs can as well

[feral ferry]

They won't

[light lion]

he's probably implying things that are related to balance

[feral ferry]

One of my main problems is the insane weapon balance

[small comet]

i dont see why they wouldnt fix that

[feral ferry]

I play a fuck ton of Gamma, it has a "logical" weapon progression

[light lion]

certain balance changes they've already straight up said no

tmk

[feral ferry]

The fact Stalker 2 gives you AR pattern rifles out of the bat somehow and them being WORSE than AK pattern are fucking insane

Not to mention, how is the starting pistol better than any other pistol?

How is a 9x18 submachinegun superior to a 5.56 rifle?

[light lion]

mmm tbf their priorites probably arent recoil patterns

[small comet]

have they actually said no to rebalancing weapon damage?

[feral ferry]

I didn't say recoil, I said the platform (pattern)

Weapon balance is just insane

[light lion]

i dont think they said no to changes related to weapon damage or recoil patterns

they said no to like day night cycles and other things

[feral ferry]

The game already has a day night cycle

And mods to make them more reasonable

They are kinda too quick

[small comet]

imo day night cycle length is a minor nit pick

yes they are quite short but nothing you cant work with

[feral ferry]

Well until the day comes I have content mods for more mutants, more weapons, overhauled progression and such, I'll prolly stick to GAMMA

Which had a really good new patch tbf

[light lion]

didn't they say they had become profitable recently

hopefully we see some more content

[small comet]

Removed ability to trade with NPCs at Noontide base. what

[light lion]

also I'ma just post this here since it's very soon

[feral ferry]

Yes, yesterday

[feral ferry]

You are not supposed to, lore reasons

[feral ferry]

Tbf people are rightfully sceptical seeing as Space Engineers is still broken and they completely abandoned Medieval Engineers

[light lion]

mmm fair

none of the copycat games have even gotten close to as good as space engineers tho imo

what's really gonna dictate if it's good is if there's any story progression

[small comet]

welp this big ass stalker patch has given me faith that theyll do a nomanssky/cyberpunk and turn into a good game given time

[light lion]

and planet generation

[light lion]

I had gone on a trip right around the game released and watched my friends play n stuff and decided to not play and wait for them to fix it

or modders to fix it

hopefully since they're seeing profit n have these patches it will just continue

[small comet]

i currently play quite modded especially for gun rebalance and npcs not being aimbotters

i personally left out lootable mutants and such

[light lion]

also I really hope someone makes a multiplayer mod 🤣

[feral ferry]

Honestly, they will fix the glaring issues but I don't see them doing a No Man's Sky

[light lion]

but I don't know if it is possible at this scale

[feral ferry]

It would be insane if they actually release big updates like 5 years from now

Iirc one of the heads of studio said only 2 DLC are currently planned

[small comet]

i didnt specifically mean that part especially since we have no roadmap from before release like with nomanssky

more the fact the team is passionate about making the game good in general

[feral ferry]

Well people are still playing Stalker 1 nearly 20 years later

[light lion]

a lot of the nomansky content nowadays seems like them testing their engine for their new title

[feral ferry]

They can easily support it for next 10 years with content additions and it'll sell like hotcakes

[light lion]

light no fire

[small comet]

my biggest questionmark with stalker2 is why they even switched away from xray engine

[feral ferry]

Cause it was ancient?

Xray is fundamentally quirky, even if they still had source code for 2.0 it's like 10 years old by now for a project that got cancelled

They'd need to largely remake it from scratch, makes no sense when UE5 is available

[light lion]

probably the need to reimplement a graphic pipeline and the benefit of (bait n switch) nanite and lumen for the art side of the game

I really hate unreal nowadays if you've actually used the engine its so bad

[orchid prism]

Bold to decide on UE5 with all of the drama around it 😄

[light lion]

really is a Fortnite engine

[feral ferry]

Tbf Xray never had support for shit like mocap

[small comet]

i just feel like porting the systems they had working in xray to UE might be more work than having updated xray or fixed it up

[feral ferry]

And Stalker 2 heavily utilizes motion capture

[light lion]

I agree with that

[feral ferry]

They didn't port anything though

[light lion]

is stalker 2 using lots of megascan assets ?

[feral ferry]

Stalker 2 was built from the ground up

[small comet]

i mean yes obviously a-life doesnt work for shite in stalker2 so its not ported

[feral ferry]

Tbf A-life isn't as cool as people think it is

It's a glorified group spawner that simply directs them around depending on scenarios

[light lion]

also another factor is Microsoft is seemingly making all their studios use unreal too

and stalker got that Microsoft development help and gamepass funding

[small comet]

ok so not having it would be better in your opinion? i thinki a-life is great cause its all the dynamic stuff we ever really got for npcs

[feral ferry]

There's only a single instance of the ACTUAL A-life as it is envisioned actually working, and that's the OLR 3.0 mod

[small comet]

and bethesda doesnt want radiant ai to escape the skynet facilities

[orchid prism]

What radiant AI? They butchered that after Oblivion.

[small comet]

i meant the original oblivion one

the one they "had to tone down"

[orchid prism]

So did I - After Oblivion they completely gutted that system to the point of not being worth mentioning 😄

[light lion]

I feel like inhouse engines are so much better

[small comet]

yes but i mean the version in oblivion

[light lion]

then these ones that fit all usecases and add a bunch of render latency

overuse of blueprints

[small comet]

depends on if you have the money and engineers to throw at it

[feral ferry]

Again, Stalker's A-life spawns groups which consist of between 1 to X, usually 4, NPCs in them, and then the director just tells them what to do, which is largely just "move there" and they occupy idle spots in smart terrain areas

That is literally not that different to how most games do AI

[light lion]

I mean the sadder part is epic games throws tons of money and engineers at unreal and the current state of the engine isn't that impressive

it's more like a tech demo

[feral ferry]

The real A-life took modders like 10+ years to actually build as seen with OLR 3.0

[light lion]

seen people crying about performance since 5.0 released

[orchid prism]

Like that one guy on YT who's on a crusade against UE gamedevs. 😄

[light lion]

yeah the threat interactive dude

[feral ferry]

GSC promised per-NPC simulation, actual day to day need cycles, etc, A-life never delivered that

[orchid prism]

Yeah that one.

[light lion]

I mean he is over the top but it's partially true

[orchid prism]

I had to shut off the video halfway through. His personality and CHAT WE ARE BEING CENSORED FR FR stuff was getting too much. I did enjoy him picking apart the scene and showing real improvements 😄

[light lion]

there's a few other YouTubers I've watched who overview other inhouse engines sharing their tech

[feral ferry]

OLR3.0 for example, simulates each NPC as if they were a player, they spawn, they go to a trader, buy equipment, go artifact hunting or get a quest from a trader, go do that quest, go back to trader to sell or turn that quest in, go relax, repeat, that's the ACTUAL A-life, that GSC never delivered

And OLR3 spent like 10+ years making it work lol

[light lion]

and it sucks that unreal doesn't offer some other solutions

[feral ferry]

A-life is nowhere near as interesting as people make it seem it is, it's a group spawner and group director

[small comet]

ok lets advocate for its removal then

just static npcs will be fine

[light lion]

yeah he is far too dramatic oml

not to be mean but he is like

[feral ferry]

I am merely annoyed with people always shouting " where's A-life" when they don't know what that is

[light lion]

full autism advocate against that engine

his passion is overbearing

[small comet]

a-life is what was delivered

the same way that a-life 2.0 is just a port of a-life to ue but somehow got named 2.0

[feral ferry]

A-life indeed is in Stalker 2 not too different from how it works in original games, just borked

But I really wish the actual A-life part as they proposed during Stalker 1s alpha was implemented

[light lion]

i honestly feel like the a-life i experienced in my short gamepass trial of stalker 2

[feral ferry]

Per-Stalker simulation is absolutely incredible

[light lion]

was working but not saving like a seed or some context

for when you loaded the save again

[feral ferry]

If you ever play Gamma or Anomaly, you kinda get bored quickly cause the game just throws squads at you, there is no real static or dynamic content

Per-NPC simulation is insane, it gives the illusion that the world is far more alive, you actually find singular NPCs randomly

But that'd prolly be not even possible to do in UE lol, they are already struggling with performance

[small comet]

yeah they did a lot of fixing for offline ai stuff as that seems to have been optimized out by UE or something.

my actual biggest gripe is that i cant do no TAA/TSR/DLSS/XeSS/FSR as it always causes image artifacts

[feral ferry]

I thought it looked fine with DLSS

[light lion]

if you are in-editor ue

the lumen flickers and artifacts are insane

you feel like somethings broken but its built like that\

[feral ferry]

It'd be nice if examples were provided

Tbf I think after a while I installed a mod that disables Lumen for performance gain

[small comet]

you mean if you play stalker2 release builds lol

rainbow colors everywhere

[small comet]

it does but i also just dont wanna use any of them

[feral ferry]

The only problem I had with release build was the insane eye adaptation when going in and out of buildings

The light glare was just insane

[devout crescent]

Can we post our Steam Replay 2024 here or where would links or pictures like that belong?

[feral ferry]

What's a Steam Replay

[small comet]

yes you can

people already spammed it yesterday

[devout crescent]

https://s.team/y24/cwqcftv?l=english

Thanks.

I didn't even think of sharing that when I saw it yesterday. I usually find stats like that neat though.

[feral ferry]

Tbf maybe it's the cynic asshole in me, but I always want to say "Congrats, what did you achieve just now by doing that" when such stuff happens

Always happens with Spotify replay as well, people just keep sharing their lists and it's like "Nice, but why"

[small comet]

why are people still subbing to my workshop items lol

[devout crescent]

Depends what you put up...

[light lion]

big sad that b42 on zomboid isn't multiplayer

hopefully it doesn't take as long as b41

[feral ferry]

Did they release NPCs yet

It's been like 2 years at least

[devout crescent]

I see it as a nice comparision liek there you go he pointed something out and I am like how the hell are people getting them numbers ^^

[small comet]

ah

i see

[feral ferry]

What kind of naughty stuff are you posting

[devout crescent]

WTF

[small comet]

literally is just a gmod player model

and the only reason i posted it was i ran a somewhat successful gmod server back in the day

[feral ferry]

Pedobear

Seriously, Tony

I expected more from you

[small comet]

i dont expect anything from 17yr old tony tbh lol

[feral ferry]

Tbf on the topic of Stalker 2, I really want to know when they are providing us modding tools

[devout crescent]

Now I see why...

[small comet]

iirc they did promise an SDK

[feral ferry]

A full UE SDK would be insane tbf

[small comet]

and i thought my workshop items are weird

[devout crescent]

ahahahah

That was the entire point.

I might put a d0nk in the middle...

He is the true goat of CS2 now anyways...

[feral ferry]

No longer simping S1mple, now you're a donk simp?

[devout crescent]

Although it is just crabwalk sprays in that game now...

That seems illegal if you say it like that

[feral ferry]

Tbf people are rightfully asking questions (and usually getting downvoted) if the devs are going to fix that

I still don't see why they decided to get rid of GO and just yeet 2 on players

[devout crescent]

The crabwalk sprays and high velocity peaking?

I think it was better in GO

[feral ferry]

I would still much rather play GO workshop over 2

There were so many good community maps in GO..

[devout crescent]

I play Supremacy all the time because of it...

Eh, I'll pass

I watch pros play from time to time anyways, so I know how the meta is nowadays

[devout crescent]

I usually dislike them too but they have gotten way better IMO

[feral ferry]

I miss 2015 NiP vs Fnatic era

Those were the days

Gaming Journalism is a poopshow nowdays...

But sometimes there are good articles and documentaries

I never cared about pro play back then sadly

I know most memes sick plays and whatnot that they did... But I wasn't watching them live...

[feral ferry]

Oh right

I saw something this morning CS related

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q58dLWjRTBE

Ohh I heard about that

Someone on X was yapping about Coffeezilla

Is this good?

Oh and yeah, fuck Logan Paul

[devout crescent]

I have to say I am not going to watch it and just let Gemini summarize the whole video for me... What is there that I do not already know about horrible gambling stuff...

[feral ferry]

Is this how bad zoomer brains are nowadays? People can't bother to watch a longer vid?

[devout crescent]

No I am a GenY I just want to chill right now.

[feral ferry]

What's a Gen Y?

[devout crescent]

Jesus Christ. Never call me a zoomer that triggers me deluxe

[feral ferry]

Millennial?

[devout crescent]

Millenials.

[feral ferry]

The good generation eh

[devout crescent]

Still think there are better ones...

But yeah I rather respect the internet for what it is than grew up with it in my freaking baby cradle...

We had the wild west of the internet. YouTube was so basic, we had to listen to 009 Sound System in every tutorial.

7 years diff... I mean I do have to say that even if you are not Zoomer in the head you are that in theory...

Just a theory...

[shell gyro]

Don't really watch pro league, unless it's r6 idk i'm a bit weird with pro games

[feral ferry]

Indeed, I am within that cutoff

Which is weird cause my wife is older than me and FAR more millennial, and she's still a Gen Z lol

[outer pollen]

I like watching R6 pro sometimes, some pretty neat stuff

[devout crescent]

The only thing I watch is CS.

[feral ferry]

How's Rainbow 6 anyways, I love it until it started turning into this weird scifi fantasy emo shit

[devout crescent]

I would actually want to watch Competitive Excel before Valorant hahahaha

[feral ferry]

It all started going wrong with Lion and Finka

[devout crescent]

Bruh the Major Final or Playoffs in general were insane.

2-1 13-11 is WILD

[feral ferry]

What are any of those numbers

[devout crescent]

Well CS is played in a BO3 (Best of 3 format) It was Team Spirit vs FaZe. Spirit won 2-1 with on the third map it ended up being all the way to the last match point 12-11. ropz (FaZe did a jumping no scope onto A side which in itself is as crazy as s1imples dropping AWP) But it went 13-11 for Spirit and they won the Major. karrigan started crying

[feral ferry]

Ah I thought it was the Rainbow Six guy replying

[devout crescent]

hahahha

I remember R6 being.. I think first to 6 or 7?

Gosh it's been a while

Now that I let the AI summarize it for me...

@feral ferry What the hell did Monarch not do that is shady af?

I might watch that later how many parts is that series going to have?

Gemini 2.0 Flash is dumb ngl.

Dumbest AI response ever...

[feral ferry]

Sorry I was vacuuming and had the discord open

[devout crescent]

[feral ferry]

So just random gibberish

[devout crescent]

The AI really focused on Monarch and how shady it all is

repeating itself like 20 times

[trim rock]

[feral ferry]

AI is good, just don't use it for a video summary lol

90% complete build

[maiden tulip]

Holy shit

[bleak pike]

Sorry, 95%!

[feral ferry]

Why's there a build for a game that doesn't exist?

[maiden tulip]

It was leaked a few years ago

[feral ferry]

Is it as good as KOTOR though

[maiden tulip]

Its not the same

Cant compare

Different genres

[trim rock]

Where download link

Google drive sucks (or rather, it doesn't let me suck it down)

[feral ferry]

What are you sucking down??

[trim rock]

Battlefront 3

Or rather, am not sucking it down..

[orchid prism]

There are uh... ways around that.

[cursive dragon]

That usually means too many people downloaded

[orchid prism]

Favourite a tiny file, then choose to download those two files together.
This bypasses google's internal check and provides you with a .zip of both items together.

[trim rock]

That sounds fucking dumb, let's try it

Unbelievable

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xW9w1d2LEY
Google's known about it for years. Not sure why it hasn't been patched out. Probably don't care and just using it as a way to filter anyone who can't... google? (the irony is palpable)

[small comet]

this may have gotten patched this year

the same way they finally started enforcing the quota limits for business users

[cursive dragon]

That's because some pirates managed to abuse business accounts

[feral ferry]

An illegitimate business???

But that's like.. illegal

[cursive dragon]

Fake info exists

[feral ferry]

But that's illegal

[cursive dragon]

And yet, pirates do not stop

[orchid prism]

It still works here? So... no 😄

[feral ferry]

But if it's illegal you can't do it

[maiden tulip]

Moumou says its allowed

This is funny, dogpiling on Grummz is becoming a normal occurence

[fading spade]

who?

[trim rock]

Exactly

Irrelevant washed up developer still trying to act relevant because he was at Blizzard back in the day

[fringe salmon]

Blizzards breastmilk thief

[fading spade]

What?????

[mellow garden]

Huh

[fringe salmon]

Also rightwing grifter and scammer

So if you see any game dev opinion or anything from him just ignore and move on

[pure bear]

wait they know it was him

[small comet]

at first i thought you meant thor

so good to have better internet again

[nimble current]

given his average opinions on things its pretty likely

[orchid prism]

Given the folks at Blizzard, it could be a LOT of people.

Which says more about Blizzard as a company than Lumpz

[nimble current]

member when blizzard at least still made good games

feels like a lifetime ago at this point

[feral ferry]

https://www.rXddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1hhqh19/been_testing_alife_fixes_for_an_hour_i_have_good/

Good news it's much much better:

• I have been running around the map for one hour and i had 0 times when random enemies spawned near me and started attacking me how it was before this patch, now they really don't spawn behind you knowing your location
• i saw a fight in the distance between stalker and mutants and it felt more organic
• npc's are not de-spawning anymore, i saw a fight between bandits and stalkers, they were fighting for some territory inside a building and i decided to run away and come back, after i came back stalkers were still there, they have not disappeared

Bad news:

• Draw distance for npc's is still super close, their 3d models can disappear from your view but they actually not disappearing, only their 3d model until you come close again they will be there
• They still Don't Loot bodies

Hm, it sounds okay now, better than before

And well, the future is promising

[orchid prism]

I read that as "bad news - we are continuing to work on the game"

[small comet]

im also looking forward cause i just noticed the patch is 110gb on PC (even on consoles its 12GB)

[feral ferry]

110 on PC and 12 on consoles?

[small comet]

yes

[feral ferry]

Just.. what..

That's the whole game

[small comet]

gog is also 110

they sadly didnt explain why its so massive

[feral ferry]

You are basically redownloading all the assets for the game

The whole game is like 115ish

.......do I install Windows to an external drive just to play this? who knows

[feral ferry]

.... do not install Windows to an external drive

[fading spade]

I for sure dont want to install it on an internal drive

[feral ferry]

Are you confusing internal/external with primary/secondary etc?

Don't install Windows on a portable drive, it's that simple

[fading spade]

why not?

[feral ferry]

Shit runs like ass

[fading spade]

Shit runs like ass anyway

[orchid prism]

Because of the terrible, terrible bandwidth and latency 😄

[feral ferry]

Yes, Linux does indeed

😛

[fading spade]

Who mentioned Linux?

I cant play it on my tablet, runs like shit cause of the screen resolution .-.

[feral ferry]

If you want to run a portable OS, do Linux

There's Tails and other stuff, it's perfectly tailored for that

[fading spade]

I could play on my phone but screen too small

[feral ferry]

But even THEN it lags on a cheap USB

I've done it, it ran like shit with Tails on a USB

[fading spade]

I have an SSD im not using, if I can get an adapter to plug it in with USB, then I could install Windows on it

[feral ferry]

What interface

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

I have one m.2 and one 2.5 sata

[feral ferry]

That's not a portable SSD then

[fading spade]

no

[feral ferry]

Which USB is it using?

[fading spade]

Id assume 3...the adapter I wanted to get never got delivered .-.

so I had to get a refund on that

so I need to find some good one online

[feral ferry]

Is it this?

Or this?

[fading spade]

Its a Crucial 2.5 inch SATA ssd

I used it on my desktop for Windows install

[feral ferry]

Lana, that's a fucking internal SSD you donut

[fading spade]

yeah....I know

[feral ferry]

That's not what people consider portable or external

[fading spade]

I want to get a USB adapter for it to make it into an external one

[feral ferry]

???

[fading spade]

cause I wanna get data off of it

theres still some documents on there I need to get out

[feral ferry]

USB adapter that does SATA power and data?

[fading spade]

yeah, you can get those

[feral ferry]

Why wouldn't you just.. put that SSD into your PC, which you have, and then deal with those files, and make a partition for dual booting or someshit

And just get a normal external SSD if for some reason you need it?

[fading spade]

cause my desktop doesnt work

I only have Deck and laptop rn

[maiden tulip]

[fallow bronze]

Ah the cursed usb 3.0 connector

[orchid prism]

That's a 2.0 connector no?

With the added voltage

[maiden tulip]

You can pick what you want, cursed connector or usb c

[feral ferry]

Blue usually means lower version of 3.0

[fading spade]

wut, the cursed connector is the end that plugs into the adapter, you only choose the end for your computer which is USB A or C

[orchid prism]

Oh. I thought this was a 2.0 connector.

[maiden tulip]

No

The end that plugs into your pc will be usb 3 standard

You chose the end that plugs into the adapter

[fading spade]

USB C FTW

why is the USB C version ribbed for her pleasure?

[grizzled bramble]

Dunno can't see my wishlist

But with Stalker 2 having that big update might have to pick that up now

[maiden tulip]

Nothing

Steam sales... kinda suck nowadays

[lucid brook]

mhm the game seemed nice, you should go for it

[lucid brook]

how come? maybe you should expand your game "direction" 😅

[maiden tulip]

I literally play every damn genre of games except puzzlers

XD

The discounts just ain't as good as they used to be honestly

[lucid brook]

looking at your library you have yet to touch any visual novels, so you are missing out 😛

I don't play visual novels

[lucid brook]

red strings club, coffee talk, to the moon to name a few, there are much more

[grizzled bramble]

Arranger was kinda chill (Puzzle game)

[lucid brook]

survivor games? halls of torment, vampire survivors for example, one of my favorite games of 2024

[grizzled bramble]

Vampire surivors is free now at EGS

Also are you going to buy something Xaizone?

[lucid brook]

oh and steam is down completely 😅

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah usually like this when some sale is starting

[novel estuary]

my steam even says "NO CONNECTION", but the store is loading fine, just very slow

[lucid brook]

i was thinking about baldur's gate 3 and life is strange games, but mostly indie games that i got in my wishlist; but i think i will just go for the indies 😛

[maiden tulip]

Guys... i have 665 games

What happens if i buy 1 more

[novel estuary]

you're only allowed to buy 1 more, no more

[lucid brook]

i got 1164 😅

[maiden tulip]

i'm doomed

[lucid brook]

that's still okay

[maiden tulip]

1 more and i officially have sold my soul to the valve corporation

[sinful cobalt]

no, you have just about the right luck

naw i seen someone on my friendliest hit diamond 3 and he gets carried and only does solo queue

meanwhile im in gold 1 dealing with donkeys who bought gold accounts for the rank rewards

remember, if there are people who achieve high ranks consistently every season, there's something they're doing right that you're not

just gotta be patient and willing to learn

[little cape]

believe i am

[trim rock]

Yeah you really need to know how to use the pressure washer to clean up after the useless teammates

[little cape]

just nobody talks or pings enemies

[clear osprey]

trust me bro I get it

[little cape]

im not saying im the greatest player but its like i have to mvp every game and then i get targeted by the whole team and my brain dead team mates are like "wooow lets watch him fight a 1 v 6 and lose point while we all watch"

[clear osprey]

ironically, thats the point

[clear osprey]

if you want to climb out of the elo you are in, you need to perform consistently better than everyone else in it

otherwise, you're where you belong

[little cape]

i get what youre saying but its a game based on communication and team work

i shouldnt need to mvp every match

but thats reality unfortunately

[clear osprey]

so is league of legends

[little cape]

how many slurs did you say or type to achieve this?

😭

[clear osprey]

I'm max honour so I guess none

[outer pollen]

Nah you can’t solo carry in this game, no matter how hard you heal or tank

[clear osprey]

what about DPS

[outer pollen]

At least in League you can force team fights and picks, here you’re just fucked if someone is a weak link

[clear osprey]

in league you’re beyond fucked if someone on your team is a weak link for even one fight

because it snowballs

[outer pollen]

Until I reach late game with Gwen and hyper carry

@proper basin Event is up

[scarlet marlin]

omagooooooooood

[outer pollen]

You get it by doing a splatoon game mode with a bunch of jeffs 4v4

[scarlet marlin]

i havent played since the release aaa

infinity nikki has taken over my life

[outer pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/infinity-nikki-momo-gif-5408836221845239357

[small comet]

good game

[small comet]

i totally havent spend 200eur or so

[scarlet marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/infinitynikki-nikki-momo-gif-5158475002038330934

[scarlet marlin]

bruh hahahah

spending that Wooting paycheck well I see

[small comet]

i just had to get the 2nd banner outfit

[scarlet marlin]

[small comet]

new banners luckily only have 4star sets

phew

[scarlet marlin]

i dont know if I wanna go for froggy outfit or diva outfit

[small comet]

i went froggy with the 10 pulls i had collected again and got half the set in 1 go

i feel like the next few 10pulls ill get fudge all

the only thing im a bit sad about is that you cant keep rushing the game in a few days cause they have a slow down mechanic with the daily wish point things where you get 500 a day and need X to level up which is gated throughout the story

[scarlet marlin]

I felt I went fast through that level up system, if you do the other things (the non dailies) then you go fast early on

now it gets a bit harder (im level 37 or something)

[small comet]

oh i meant the stylist level rank thingy

not the mira level

the one in the compendium

[little sorrel]

y it sounds creamy

[bleak pike]

So does it literally change Jeff's healing to DMG?

[outer pollen]

You need to dive to heal I believe or get the med kits

[proper basin]

or you can use the E

[outer pollen]

I thought bubble just did damage as well

[proper basin]

[outer pollen]

Stalker 2 seem to be working fine, some frame drops here and there

[maiden tulip]

You havent reached a town yet

:)

[feral ferry]

Patch 1.1 alleviates that issue

And also patch 1.1.1 came out today lol, but I didn't see the changelog for it

[maiden tulip]

Even in pripyat?

Pripyat was bad even on a 7800x3d

[feral ferry]

They mentioned dense areas specifically, I don't recall Pripyat

[maiden tulip]

I havent touched the game since i beat it

[maiden tulip]

Hopefilly it just keeps improving

[feral ferry]

Tbf I never had any perf drops in areas like Skadovsk, Rostok, Duty, Ward bases or lower zone village

Never reached Pripyat so dunno what's there

[maiden tulip]

Had posted this screenie weeks ago @feral ferry shit was microstuttering like crazy
