I don't think it will be a standalone, it'll prolly sell as an Index 2.0 but they'll also sell you some kind of external PC to pair with it to make it standalone

That's what the original leaks were about years back iirc, VR goggles with some weird external PC that powers the games, making it "standalone"

[compact oriole]

that would be the stupidest way of making vr wdym.. if its not just an index 2, itll be a quest like

[feral ferry]

I sincerely doubt Valve can just slap in a Steam Deck chip into those goggles and it'll run games with no problems lol

[compact oriole]

vr headset iwth a cable and some shit you gotta wear on you? makes no sense. they got a steamdeck that can already basically play anything and theyll use what they learned + the technological advancements we had to put that into a headset is my bet

[feral ferry]

I think Valve will focus on wireless connectivity

[verbal nymph]

Me want this

[feral ferry]

You render it either on their render station or your own PC and stream games with low latency to the goggles

[verbal nymph]

Yeah, that way for VR is really nice since more battery and space for tracking

[feral ferry]

That might make sense tbf, I heard good things about that Oculus wireless thing they have going on

[compact oriole]

my guess is they want a competitor to the quest but dont wanna forsake pcvr either because its a better experience

[feral ferry]

I still don't see Quest as anything more than a gimmick AR device that's mainly useful in industry applications

It's not for the common folk

[compact oriole]

ok but the reality is that quest is dominating the market and its not even close. pcvr has been pretty much dead for years

[heavy apex]

valves and steams whole game library is also pcvr so I think it would a bit weird to ditch all of it

index is already inside out u mean SLAM

[compact oriole]

the assumption is that youd be able to play most of the library and you have a choice to play it standalone or not. or theyll add a visible category of games that are tested for being able to be played for stand alone and else you have to connect it

just like all games have tags for steamdeck or linux or other shit

tbh idec as long as its not just a standalone^^ inside out tracking sucks

also speaking of vr new assetto corsa coming out in 2 weeks

well.. early access

[feral ferry]

Why would you want to have a standalone device that'd struggle to play all VR titles when you can use your PC to stream the game with as-native clarity and speed?

[compact oriole]

exactly

[heavy apex]

SLAM tracking is far from sucking unless you want to also combine it with lighthouse
I think the only outside in headsets are the early oculus ones using cameras on poles

[feral ferry]

If anything I suspect you'll be able to run SteamOS on shit like Steam Deck or your PC, and Steam OS on your Deckard ( and Fremont, whatever that is, probably the rendering thing that actually renders your games for you), and the Deckard standalone will be able to run maybe Beat Saber at best, but it'll utilize wireless connectivity to boot up the game on your PC on demand and stream it to you

Though I doubt Deck can even handle VR games, considering the high resolutions

It can barely handle FHD

[compact oriole]

wouldnt wireless streaming also require heavy compression

[feral ferry]

Not necessarily

If you have sufficient bandwidth it can be close to lossless imo

[verbal nymph]

7GHZ!!!

[feral ferry]

WiFi6 I think is lossless-enabled or something

[compact oriole]

i cant imagine wifi streaming 2 screens at those resolutions with 140+ fps lol

[heavy apex]

would have to be pretty high bandwidth, even my wired headset isn't running lossless, that is an on dp1.4 though

[compact oriole]

index? i have no idea actually if that stuffs compressed or not

[heavy apex]

144hz on the index uses display stream compression, lower refresh rates don't
I have a beyond though, a lot more resolution

[feral ferry]

I mean, that's just 2 images 288 times per second, with how fast WiFi6 is, with a good implementation, I see it happening

Not lossless fully but close enough to be imperceptable

[heavy apex]

quest 3 already uses 6e no?

[feral ferry]

And that is likely plenty fast if people were already streaming games to their Quest 2 and saying it was as good as cable

[heavy apex]

maybe as good as cabled use on a quest, since quest uses usb in wired mode

[verbal nymph]

yeah, I played using wireless from pc to quest and it feels good

A bit blurry tho since not wifi6

[feral ferry]

I fully suspect Valve might be focusing on wireless

[compact oriole]

wonder what type of panels theyre gonna use

[verbal nymph]

miniled!!! Or Oled if they're feeling fancy. Hopefully

[feral ferry]

You mean lenses?

[verbal nymph]

actually, do we know how much it'll cost?

[compact oriole]

we know barely anything

[feral ferry]

At least 2 grand

[verbal nymph]

waow

[compact oriole]

i doubt it

[verbal nymph]

if it's like <1k it'll be nice

[feral ferry]

I don't see a problem with LCD in VR applications

[compact oriole]

lets be real.. their competetor is meta and they gotta offer something similar to get back into the market

i doubt its gonna be another 1000€+ offering

[feral ferry]

That's literally how much Index costs, and Deckard is supposedly far more technologically sophisticated

I don't see it being cheaper than 1.5 grand

[compact oriole]

if it cant compete with the quest its doa bro..

[heavy apex]

not very immersive when all the blacks are grey, if an lcd has enough dimming zones it could still be really good though

[compact oriole]

they cant corner the enthusiast market with that other giga expensive brand already out

[feral ferry]

Well anyways, I honestly suspect Fremont is their "rendering box"

[compact oriole]

and either way 90'% of vr already is only meta.. they dont have the luxury to sell high price vr

[feral ferry]

VR is a tiny market anyways

Valve don't even need to focus on it lol

[outer pollen]

You takkers gonna get PoE2? @pure bear @grave granite

[compact oriole]

i look at the steam library for vr releases every couple months and in the 5 years since hla basically nothing worthwhile has come out..

[pure bear]

sure I'll take a look when it drops

havent been super deep into poe1

but worth a try for sure

[compact oriole]

most people who were deep into poe1 dont seem to like poe 2 cz its so different

[outer pollen]

I wasn’t into PoE 1 but I’m enjoying the combat and skills more on this one

[feral ferry]

It needs a big push for people to care about it, and Valve is that kind of company

Idk, I don't care for VR but if you do, that's great for you

[compact oriole]

ye but you cant do a big push if the vr headset costs the same as a fully fledged pc..

[feral ferry]

That's the costs of the technology

WMR was somewhat affordable, and Microsoft is killing it off

[compact oriole]

is it? cz the price of technology is what ever the quest 3 costs seeing as meta literally owns the vr market

[feral ferry]

You could make a WMR rig to play Alyx for like 150$ or something

Or less, I don't remember, it was cheap-ish

[quiet vault]

how is overwatch rated for 16+ in china but cs2 is 12+ lol

[compact oriole]

cz you can kill hot chicks in ow and thats a nono

[quiet vault]

😭

[feral ferry]

Speaking of VR https://www.macrumors.com/2024/12/31/vision-pro-may-be-out-of-production/

This piece of shit is already dead

Good, fuck Apple

[quiet vault]

hope they make a less expensive one now

[feral ferry]

What's the point of having AR on your face when they can just make it on your phone

[compact oriole]

steam vr headset survey btw

[heavy apex]

0.38% 💪

[feral ferry]

No PSVR2

[compact oriole]

and thats just the people who even bothered to try steam games

on their meta headsets

[feral ferry]

Quest 3 users are prolly just staying on their platform

[compact oriole]

ye and yet they have the same share as index

[quiet vault]

when cheap vr good

[feral ferry]

What's cheap

I'd argue Quest 3 is relatively affordable

[quiet vault]

under 1k?

[feral ferry]

Well, now, then

[quiet vault]

ye but quest 3 is very mid

[feral ferry]

It's not?

Best in class from what I'm aware of

[compact oriole]

lol

[quiet vault]

its not at a level i would wanna use

[compact oriole]

its cheap enough for most people to be able to afford it and its standalone, which is what most people would prefer

[feral ferry]

What do you even need, 4K per eye?

[quiet vault]

i mean more then quest would be good xD

[compact oriole]

you go into any online game and youll meet predominantely kids who got it from their parents

[feral ferry]

Features wise Quest 3 is prolly top notch as it comes

[quiet vault]

and oled atleast

[feral ferry]

Fuck you need OLED for

People just spout OLED everywhere and they don't know what it does

[quiet vault]

these lcds dont look good

[proper basin]

Pancake lenses goated

[compact oriole]

ive never seen vr oled but generally oled is just the best screen you can get so im assuming its the same for vr

[quiet vault]

contrast, black stuff being black

[feral ferry]

You can achieve black blacks with TrueBlack minileds

[compact oriole]

also colors and color switching. the switching part being unmatched by any other tech

[quiet vault]

that would work too ig

if they got enough dimming zones

[compact oriole]

as soon as a new oled panel gets released on a 21:9 monitor im getting one

[heavy apex]

pancakes are far from perfect
they are so inefficient, aspherics might be good too, meta just has infinite money to try and find the best geometry on a pancake from what I've heard

[quiet vault]

you still see some chromatic abberation and stuff

[compact oriole]

im still not sure if i wanna get a qd or W oled monitor tho

[feral ferry]

QDEL is a superior technology in every single way to OLED

The problem is, industry is pushing heavily with OLED and completely ignoring QDEL which is superior in most aspects

[heavy apex]

is it every or most

[feral ferry]

Every in what I care about

Speed prolly not, and that's the only one it'll be behind, but not in a meaningful in realistic scenarios way

[compact oriole]

what is qdel. first i hear of it

and what is superior about it to oled

[feral ferry]

Doesn't burn in, better contrast, better colors

It's cheaper than OLED, actually

[quiet vault]

where is micro led

[pure bear]

put the qled in the bag lil bro

[feral ferry]

QDEL is literally cheaper than OLED to produce, and could be the next thing to replace LCD, the problem is that nobody is bothering

[quiet vault]

put the toast in the toaster

[pure bear]

that makes sense

[feral ferry]

Too much R&D invested into OLED and muppets are trying to cash in releasing shite self destructing displays

[compact oriole]

are the pixels also self emitting?

[feral ferry]

Yeah?

It's Quantum Dot

It has many names QDEL, nanoLED, Samsung I think calls it QLED (not the one in the market rn I don't think, that's a different one)

LG has their own name

[compact oriole]

you sure thats the same thing? cz qled seemed kinda shit

wasnt only samsung using that mostly?

[feral ferry]

That's a different one

The actual one slaps OLED like it's no tomorrow, overall better tech

For me nanoLED seems like the next frontier until shite like microLED become more cheap

And that's the funny part, it's cheap to make

The next thing to replace LCD

[pure bear]

that max rating on all categories

seems like such marketing bs

[feral ferry]

It's by Sharp, whom are more trustworthy than Samsung

Oh and yeah you can make nanoLEDs with an inkjet printer

Which is insanely cheap

[compact oriole]

dont think company tryna sling your their shit is more trustworthy than another

[heavy apex]

why is nanoled the only one with vr/ar in the size category 🤨
not like there aren't small lcds and oleds in vr headsets already

[compact oriole]

but ye since noone is working on this shit is not like you have a choice apart from waiting another prolly almost 10 years until they start getting good offerings comparing to what oled is selling rn

[feral ferry]

Prolly cause they are more expensive to make in those sizes

And you can just print out a nanoLED sheet in any size you want, for pennies

But yeah I don't see the point of organic materials that self destruct, OLED be damned

[small comet]

all i got from this is oled and nanoled work the same lol

[compact oriole]

well also one exists more than a concept and the other doesnt

[feral ferry]

It just replaces the organic self-destructing part with quantum dots

And works better than the other

It can easily be mass produced already imo, the tech is here

It's just that way too much R&D was invested into OLED so they are cashing in into that tech

[buoyant osprey]

I am skipping oled monitors entirely, waiting for better stuff

[compact oriole]

just looked it up and it seems that sharp showed a concept of qdel at last years ces on a 12" screen.. so even if all that was said in here were to be true.. we are not getting this within the next 5-10 years

[feral ferry]

I'm fine with IPS, maybe getting a miniled if one of these screens die somehow

[compact oriole]

i have an ips rn. saw oled for the first time on a tv last weekend. that shit was crazy

i wanted to get an oled monitor anyway but that just affirmed my decision

[feral ferry]

Samsung made an 18.2" one, they are technological samples

I have an OLED TV and I don't see the point of it

[compact oriole]

its a 12" prototype they showed off

[feral ferry]

IPS and OLED look the same, or close enough

[small comet]

i want qdoled

[compact oriole]

they dont..

[feral ferry]

Considering I'm staring at an OLED I've had for 3 years now, I don't see enough difference between IPS and OLED to justify ditching an IPS display

[buoyant osprey]

There's a pretty big difference between TV LCD and monitor LCD in my experience. Monitors are much worse with a ton of backlight bleed unlike TVs

[feral ferry]

Mine's a nanoIPS, pretty great panel, great fidelity, good colors

As good as OLED? No. On paper. Do you need it to be as good as OLED? No, lol. It's good enough

[compact oriole]

well either smth is wrong with your oled or your eyes^^. the contrast, the black levels, the hdr, the speed of pixels switching. it all adds up. the fact alone that pixels can shine at different brightnesses in movies and games makes media consumption so much better

[feral ferry]

It's an LG W-OLED so prolly not as pretty as QD-OLEDs

And I don't see enough meaningful difference between NanoIPS and a W-OLED

[compact oriole]

you have a dark room with a slit of light from a a door being opened 2 cm looks insane already

just by that i was so blown away

[feral ferry]

Again it prolly just seems insane to you cause you've never seen an OLED display

I've had one for years and it's like "eh, whatever"

[compact oriole]

not on that scale no. obv oled phones are normal now

[feral ferry]

You get used to it and it becomes one and the same

[buoyant osprey]

Black levels on my 22 year old display:

[feral ferry]

I can use an OLED, I can use an IPS

[compact oriole]

also you need media that can take advantage of it, which you wont find on some streaming websites

[feral ferry]

And the difference doesn't even matter lol

Tbf OLED with purpose built media is banging I'll give you that

Dolby Atmos, HDR enabled, and it's a great experience

[compact oriole]

ye

[feral ferry]

If you watch movies a lot that are enabled with those technologies, you'll have a good time

I don't watch series or movies, mainly just scroll shit on the browser or watch YT videos, so I don't need the colors of an OLED

[compact oriole]

ive been waiting for years for oled to finally get palletable and have 240hz and decent hdr. if we finally get a new gen of qd oled on 21:9 monitors im copping one

[compact oriole]

for sure

i watch a lot of stuff and i game a bunch, so for me i deem it worth the stupidly high asking price

[feral ferry]

CES is just about to happen, exciting times for panel technology

[compact oriole]

ye im hoping for new qd or even w oled announcements

they didnt release any 21:9 qd gen 3 panels last year.. only 16:9

[feral ferry]

Meh, I'm all in the LED train

Maybe they got some breakthrough in microled tech... yeah that's just wishful thinking

[buoyant osprey]

There will be a 240 Hz 21:9 5k2k w-oled later in the year

Maybe a QD one too, idk

[compact oriole]

ye ive seen lg announced theirs. but that res is kinda insane

[compact oriole]

even with a 5090 you wont be able to run non esport games on max settings iwth decent frame rates

[buoyant osprey]

The announced one is a 165 Hz one

[compact oriole]

hm this qdel stuff seems literally just in its infancy.. man by the time theres a suitable product itll be at least 5 years if not more

[buoyant osprey]

I don't personally think it will take that long, I'm somewhat optimistic

[compact oriole]

well they just showed off a prototype last year and how long will it take for them to make a version at about 200hz+ 1000nits+ with the res and everything else comparable

mainly depends on who wants to invest and as someone said earlier OLED is all the hype rn

[sinful cobalt]

Its an expensive hype for most ppl tho

[compact oriole]

ye and if i was a company id love to abuse that. and then sell em the next "cheaper tech" once i did

[buoyant osprey]

I am personally waiting for a 27 or smaller 16:9 inch 4k 1 000 Hz (or just very powerful blur reduction techniques)
Or a 34 inch or smaller 21:9 5k2k one with the same specs otherwise

Thankfully I am patient and happy with what I have right now

[compact oriole]

what panel type? cz oled already has no blur with a switching speed of like 0.003 or w/e it is

[buoyant osprey]

Ideally something better than oled. Oled has plenty of blur depending on frame rate/persistence

[heavy apex]

I will probably just get a 27" 1440p 240 or 360hz oled in 2025, would love 27" 4k but probably I'll probably settle for 1440p

will at least be an upgrade from my 1080p60 tn monitor rn

[sinful cobalt]

As of right now i dont think or ever im gonna upgrade from IPS

For me its more then enough

[compact oriole]

huge upgrade. feel like until gpus completely trivalize 4k performance its not worth it

[sinful cobalt]

With how the gpu prices gonna be more and more stupid

[compact oriole]

that adds to the issue ye

[buoyant osprey]

Gib 8k monitor so I can switch between 4k and 1440p natively in games depending on performance

[sinful cobalt]

As most common ppl not gonna spend over 1000$ on a gpu just to play on 4k

And to this day most esport titles are still the best on 1080p

[compact oriole]

im coping nvidia will chill on 50 series prices cz of how bad the 40 series sold.. but thats prolly just cope

[buoyant osprey]

Very much a cope yes

[sinful cobalt]

As ppl still bought everything nah

[buoyant osprey]

Nvidia has no reason as a company to play good. Everyone will buy up their gpus regardless

[sinful cobalt]

Till they hit the max amount that ppl would spend on their top tier gpu’s

[small comet]

until someone can match nvidia perf theyll be able to basivally dictate price

[compact oriole]

their 40 series sold very badly wdym

[sinful cobalt]

If u only look at the 80, 80 super and 90 cards

[small comet]

pretty sure it sold quite well

[sinful cobalt]

4070 ti, 4070 supers sold very quickly

[compact oriole]

ye the lower ones that werent stupidly priced, did pretty well comparatively

[sinful cobalt]

And thats why i think the 5080 and 5090 is gonna be a work gpu under the GeForce family

[compact oriole]

hopefully we will hear smth soon. been waiting to upgrade

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah thats gonna be at CES live

[compact oriole]

if only amd could compete on the high end 😦

[sinful cobalt]

I hope for the next amd gpu line

[compact oriole]

not like high end nvidias dont as well

[feral ferry]

They can

[compact oriole]

and next gen is rumored/leaked to be even worse

[sinful cobalt]

I mean amd never gonna be able to compete with a titan class card

[feral ferry]

And Nvidia is going to be even more expensive

[feral ferry]

Tbf they could compete with 4090, chose not to

[compact oriole]

whyd they do that.. makes no sense to give up a market they could compete in

[feral ferry]

Doubt they could be competing with Titan 5090

That thing is far too big for its own good

[compact oriole]

also another issue is that ray tracing on amd is generally jsut worse as well and it prolly matters to many to have the capabilities

[feral ferry]

But AMD can easily compete with 80 card which is all that matters anyways

[sinful cobalt]

For me the xtx was a good competition against the 4080/4080 super and not against the 4090

[feral ferry]

And I agree with you

There was the 7990XTX which was supposedly even faster than 4090

However the amount of power it sipped was unholy and they canned the thing

Which, guess what, Nvidia is doing with their 600W 5090 Titan

Mid range is what sell the most, the Titan cards don't account for large market share that's important

[sinful cobalt]

I just that nvidia just go back to name their 90 class cards titans again

[feral ferry]

Lol you can see why they did it

Titan branding didn't sell enough lol

As soon as it became a "normal" card suddenly people started buying them

[compact oriole]

well pricing was also different

[feral ferry]

And it pisses me off

Nvidia can just fuck off already

"Oh but it's not competing against the 90".. IT DOESN'T NEED TO

It's a fucking Titan card

80 is where the Nvidia lineup ends

[compact oriole]

and they were

the only difference wasnt only the amount of ram they had

[buoyant osprey]

Cope

[feral ferry]

They still are, 90 is still not for gaming and for professional applications

Go game on a quadro

[compact oriole]

nvidia been trying to pass off their 70 cards as 80 as well

[feral ferry]

Nvidia has been doing everything in the book to gauge money from consumers

And the annoying part is, it works

[compact oriole]

ye cz amd is ded

[feral ferry]

AMD is perfectly able to compete with every meaningful segment

[compact oriole]

even if they can technically compete with most offerings, people arent buying em

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah but ppl wanna see a card that can compete against a titan class

[compact oriole]

if they could, nvidia wouldnt be able to do what ever the fuck they want and still stay on top

[feral ferry]

Yes, cause people are morons

Same thing with Intel, buy Intel cause brand loyalty

[compact oriole]

intel fucked around and found out cz amd started competing with ryzen. smth like that has yet to happen for their gpus and nvidia isnt as stupid as intel to just chill and let it happen

[feral ferry]

I couldn't be happier the 13th and 14th got the degradation issues

[buoyant osprey]

If you want to maximime your fancy monitor you are best off going with Nvidia 4090, dimple as

The tweeted photo is from his song

I think he's just returned to Twitter to prolly announce an album or something

But HL:X is a real thing so, who knows

[compact oriole]

i love hls communitys obsession with numbers and all their theories every couple months and it has never panned out

the 1+2 = 3 = hl3 confirmed meme has literally escalated and every time they see numbers they make smth up

[green dune]

How do I copy a Steam recording from my Steam Deck?

[heavy apex]

just a recorded video?

[green dune]

Yeah, I can't seem to find it in the FS. The only files in the directory for it seem to be database things and a boat load of m4s files.

Oh, I suppose there are some jpegs.

[heavy apex]

if you can't find the video I'm not sure about that, but for transferring I like deckmtp on decky loader

[green dune]

scp works soooo much better than that.

Maybe it's all of the m4s files?

Oh, ffmpeg can apparently handle this pretty easily.

[dash @ 0x562f57a0a100] Error when loading first fragment of playlist

Nice.

[trim rock]

Yeah Steam records in a special chunked format, to do this easily just use Steam to export it to a normal mp4 file

[green dune]

Got it.

[green dune]

There wasn't an option for that.

[scarlet marlin]

yeah you can go back later and fully beat them on perfect to get the full rewards if you wanna

[trim rock]

Might be hidden in big picture / gaming mode though, because of course Valve would do such nonsense

[green dune]

That wasn't an option.

[trim rock]

Yeah it's hidden in big picture mode, good shit

[green dune]

All I had was

Some options are not available for clips over
60 seconds. This clip is 04:53 long.
SHARE
Send to Other Device...
Send to Phone...
Create QR Link...
SHARE TO A CHAT
All chats
Cancel

[trim rock]

Or maybe it's that warning at the top lol, what a scuffed system if that is the case

[green dune]

I don't know why it wouldn't let me just send it over my LAN to my desktop, but whatever.

Most of the options where grayed out, the only one I could select was Send to Other Device... which told me the limit was 100MB for some reason.

If I want to send a 512GiB file across my network it should let me without having to use scp.

[trim rock]

Because it probably sends it over the cloud instead of the local network

[green dune]

That's stupid when they have stuff that sends over LAN.

[trim rock]

Because everyone has amazing upload speeds right?!

[green dune]

In current year most people should have access to 1Gbps.

That isn't the case, but it is a should.

No excuses.

[trim rock]

The technology just isn't there yet

[green dune]

To transfer files over LAN?

Because Steam already has a stack for that.

[trim rock]

Let's not be sensible

[small comet]

yeah i did after getting the aurosa thing and then unlocking the dark upgrade tree thanks to its extra percent

[green dune]

Heck, I could probably make a ssh command that converts it on the deck, pipes it over stdout via ssh and dumps it on my local computer. :V

[trim rock]

Okay yeah I just made a longer clip and could still export to a normal file, so probably you were in gaming mode

[green dune]

There is only Steam OS mode and Desktop mode on the Steam Deck.

[trim rock]

Yeah gaming mode is the first one

[green dune]

Either way, it's stupid.

[trim rock]

I really don't know why they hide certain options from it, maybe they just don't know how to make a file save dialog work in big picture mode...

[green dune]

I did extract it, I would like to figure out how to fix the artifacting in this game but it's not a huge deal so far.

[green dune]

I think Big Picture Mode is just falling into the trap that Apple invented of "don't allow users to see the underlying filesystem because it is confusing" or whatever.

[scarlet marlin]

now its time to grind for the new outfit

[small comet]

ye on it already

grinding those insight points

[green dune]

The Steam Deck uses PCI-e 3 right?

[grizzled bramble]

Yes

Wukong got 3 wins

Those wins are kinda meh

Floating away

[verbal nymph]

hmm, rapid trigger (1mm actuation, 0.25mm activate, 0.50mm release), and setting actuation at 3.5mm doesn't feel too different

for rhythm game

[pure bear]

actuation 3.5 is very deep

you should probably turn on continuous rapid trigger

[verbal nymph]

that causes mis input

This could either mean 0.01mm rapid trigger is useless fore rhythm game because you can't even feel it, or 3.5mm actuation point or higher is really close to rapid trigger because just like RT, you only have to lift a little bit to be able to trigger the key again. IF you like to bottom out ofc.

[green dune]

It's wild that people sit though this.

me and bro (random tank player i've never met before) popping off.

[outer pollen]

What are the purple name things

[uneven vale]

they're from last season, you earned them from playing comp during the final week, it was really for players who stayed all the way through the season but i only played the last few days

the longer you played the longer of a bar / more effects you got

it also earned comp coins faster

[gusty oar]

that’s a big fucking number

you know your shits fucked when letters have to be put into your numbers to contain them

[hearty vector]

hey guys, I just got wooting 60HE and could use some tips for setting it up for valorant!

[gusty oar]

hell yeah

they hated jesus for he spoke the truth 😔🤝

[gusty oar]

you can find profiles on here and i think the wooting setup thing
i play fps and setting your movement to 0.1-0.2 is a good start
make your ultimate 3/4.0 to not accidentally hit
enable rapid trigger and rappy snappy or whatever

that’s the fun part, it’s customizable

but that should be a start

i also light my keys to be different for commonly used ones but that’s kinda just aesthetic

[hearty vector]

ah, that makes sense

[hearty vector]

which one should I enable

Rappy snappy

or socd

oh

This game is made by chowbie, found the artist while scrolling pixiv one day and im pretty sure everything is handdrawn. their work is questionable but their art is decent

[half canopy]

I was wondering, can I for example use this kb to play games like pubg/fortnite like I usually do, but use the pressure sensitivity to steer more precisely when in a car?

[pure bear]

with some creative profile making that could work

some games get hiccups when controller and knm inputs get mixed though

[orchid prism]

Yes... no.

Mostly comes down to whether or not the game would theoretically let you use a controller at the same time as a mouse and keyboard - a lot of games will toggle between the two, not allow them simultanously.

And that either means it won't work well, or cause lag from the constant swapping.

However for games you can fully play on controller like racing games, this is absolutely an option. (Also sim games like Star Citizen tend to be very friendly towards creative use of controllers)

[nimble current]

flight and eva movement in star citizen is one of the best use-cases for wooting analog input tbh

bridges the gap between keyboard and flightsticks better than it has any right to

[orchid prism]

It's been great in X.

Since it uses thrust sliders.

[nimble current]

analog input, when it actually has support for it in the right game/application is an amazing feature to have

maybe in a decade when wooting has market dominance on keyboards game studios might finally take notice

[nimble current]

retro pc emulation deserves more love, there's was so much for pc released in the 90s that never found its way to other platforms so a lot of it is kinda obscure and unknown to the masses

[nimble current]

lot of weird interesting games made without any adherence to established control binds or ui designs

pc gaming was a lawless anarchy in contrast to the heavily curated nintendo, ps etc catalogues, going in blind on a new game was an adventure

probably also why its a pita to consistently emulate

[nimble current]

wonder if they can pull off software 3D games without spontaneously combusting

[orchid prism]

Someone managed an... impossible? N64 core.

So I guess it's just a question of time and hardware/software optimization and development.

[nimble current]

suppose emulating early hardware acceleration i.e. voodoo, tnt etc is a nother can of worms vs doing the pre-hw 3D apps

2070.. what?

[orchid prism]

Whaddya mean what?

[digital dawn]

guys did you forget? it’s 2079.

[feral ferry]

What on earth is 2070

[verbal nymph]

The year is 2079, Humanity has grown at a rapid pace. At the same time, small percentage of people have evolved to become what's called Numen. The world comes together and form an event called Numan Athletics, where the greatest compete against each other.

[orchid prism]

[feral ferry]

RTX 2070 is nowhere near 10 years old though

a 6,5 year old midrange gpu recommended for 60fps 1080p is okayish

it wont win a performance award

but in a world of games where 3090 is recommended for 30fps1440p on some titles

[lean vigil]

Rtx 970

[orchid prism]

Too many damn cardgames.

Everyone wanted to do a card game.

[lone raptor]

Rip this card game

[little cape]

@outer pollen bro i had a grown ass man

throw the game because somebody else was yelling at another team mate. (the grown ass man wasnt getting yelled at btw) he even said it in the beginning of game he was throwing

smh

[maiden tulip]

Main thing people will whine about is no non rtx gpu support

[feral ferry]

So uh, I was like let's give CS2 a try

Are you.. meant to make a profit?

It's my first run but I remember CS1 being.. very easy to set up an infinite economy

This is just.. insane, there's no demand for housing (nobody's moving in, so no companies are moving in) and the costs are astronomical

Are you meant to outsource all the services?

[outer pollen]

Dude I would have destroyed him on coms

[little cape]

oh bro

we all did, even the enemy team was making fun of him

[outer pollen]

I'm gonna try that Boneshatter build it looks stupid

[bright fox]

Imma switch to monk and go to barb after the next patch

...l I also like smasshing my head against a wall

[outer pollen]

Yeah dude Monk is crazy

I think just Melee in general is in a tough spot

[bright fox]

very much is

at least I'm at end game and well, looks like one massive area that'll take all year to comlete

[outer pollen]

Yeah my friend is playing Monk and sometimes he'll just explode out of nowhere

you are secretly training cia blackops terminator ai

[nimble current]

they gonna ruin it by falling for the temptation of hiring A list name actors because apparently that's what gets the public buying movie tickets

might work for a more decorated character but the actual helldivers should all be played by nobodys

acting students or something

Is this a thing for cs2?

[vital wyvern]

does it literally not say cs2 in the title? 🤔

[vapid lintel]

No it says Counter-Strike 2

They wanted to know about Cities Skylines 2

[orchid prism]

[uncut bobcat]

i cant wait until the clips of the ai hallucinating get released

[pure bear]

maybe they train it on player behaviour and it flames

[uncut bobcat]

if they train it on player behavior, when you ping for stuff the ai will just keep the item and die in 5 minutes

[small comet]

what the crapo is that money going to

[orchid prism]

At least with FIFA there was a license fee to pay. That amount is absurd for just developing and marketing costs 😄

[still spire]

It's the most expensive AAA game ever made

I didn't play it, but it must be good eh

Witcher 3 cost 44M to develop

In Sweden, but still...if you think you could've made like 15 Witcher 3s for the cost of one BO

[small comet]

well not anymore

its not fifa anymore since a bit

[orchid prism]

Mhmm. They got a tad TOO greedy I guess.

What was it... a billion a title at the end? USD

[small comet]

/shrug never got virtual football as a concept

[still spire]

Virtual sports besides Golf never really got me

Like if I wanna play Soccer or Basketball or Football, I could do that

Golf too, but it's mainly silly golf stuff like Golf with your friends

[orchid prism]

Remove the virtual and I'm onboard. Sports are weird 😛

Whooo! Go Team! Cause... reasons!

[scarlet marlin]

damn u didnt like galactic football back in the day ;p

[still spire]

Oh I mean, that shit is weird

Being fans of teams and starting riots over them is absurd.

When you hear about people literally killing eachother over their teams winning or losing...like what is wrong with that person

[bleak pike]

?

[thorn herald]

anyone using analog curve for cs2?

[orchid prism]

Pretty sure it doesn't give you anything anymore.

Used to be used to walk slowly with less noise.

[thorn herald]

I'm pretty sure it changed my movement after playing around with it for a while, especially when counter strafing and bhopping.

I'm very interested in what the individual controls in the curve do so I can work with them better, but unfortunately I only found one video online that only helps me to a limited extent. And if anyone else has had experience with it, I would also be very interested.

[proper basin]

@orchid prism factory update, how much more have you expanded across the galaxy

[orchid prism]

Took a break from building factories, and started a journey as a shipbreaker in orbit of a small asteroid.

Aka. Ostranauts

[proper basin]

Expanding to astroids

[orchid prism]

I am basically flying around in a metal box held together with tape and spot welding, taking apart derelict shipwrecks for valuable bits and bobs, as well as more plating and such to expand on my own.

so my friend can send my vid here n it’s okay bc it’s not self promo?

alright

If they share it for the cultural significance, yes

If they share it because they are your friend advertising for you, then it's spam

man I feel really scammed with BG3, bought it at some point to see what the hype is about and it's just so boring

[proper basin]

I still gotta go back and continue act 2

Been taking long breaks waiting for crossplay

[pastel bolt]

I want to start a 5th playthrough but im so tired of act 1 i cant

[pure bear]

i still gotta play divinity os2 lol

[pastel bolt]

I recommend a combat rehaul mod for that, the armor system is dumb since it encourages damage type stacking

[scarlet marlin]

well thats personal right? I think its super fun with the freedojm that you have and the story, but if thats not something youre into then yeah

[pastel bolt]

Bg3 also has a ton of content and replay value

[vital wyvern]

I love d:os2 but despise bg3

downgrade in every way for me

Bg3 combat is so much better than dos2
