[maiden tulip]

Smells like a dying pump to me

[outer pollen]

@little cape

[maiden tulip]

What's the pump rpm at

[hot spire]

whats the water temp in the cooler

[hot spire]

they are famous for going dry too XD

[maiden tulip]

yep

[hot spire]

you ahve a pic of the setup?

[cold anvil]

Let me launch the game again

[hot spire]

i only hit 80 on a passive cooled cpu, 90 on water is wild

[maiden tulip]

@hot spire

[hot spire]

?

thier pc?

[maiden tulip]

Found the pics he has posted before

Ye

[hot spire]

100% pump is just dry

can get water into the rad anymore

happened to my gtx

[maiden tulip]

aios be like poopy

[hot spire]

yeah

i got rid of water and fans from my cooler

[cold anvil]

still loading shaders but here

[hot spire]

40c water is cookin

90c on a 5800x3d is dibolical

[hot spire]

is the radiator hot to the touch?

same with the tubes

[maiden tulip]

can you feel the pump

Althought im pretty sure it's still running or else we'd be way higher

90c is throttle point tho

[cold anvil]

just feels a bit warm

[maiden tulip]

Most likely dropping your clock speeds to keep it from deding

@cold anvil when did you buy the rad

[cold anvil]

around mid to late 2023

[maiden tulip]

Welp kinda fits with how long an AIO lasts

2-5 year range is kinda when they tend to bite the dust

Either pump fails or it goes dry

[hot spire]

water is only 40c which to me means air in the coolant

[maiden tulip]

Same

I agree

[hot spire]

pump speed is chaning up and down so pump is spinning

unless its clogged

[maiden tulip]

Could be making some awful noises for all we know

[hot spire]

but i bet the coolant temp sensor is dry

so its the same temp as the case, not how the gpu is 49c

same thing happened to me on my 4790k and 110 gtx

coolant temp low, pump speed all over the place

refilled it and worked perfect

even with meh paste a 5800x3d isnt hot

[maiden tulip]

Warranty is 5 years

He shouls just send it back

Sell the refurb unit

Buy an air cooler

Just sucks cuz it means

No pc for him till he gets a replacement

Which is why i think buying a cheaper air cooler and selling the replacement aio

Is the best decision

@cold anvil

[cold anvil]

I still think it might just be the game being not optimized well

havent had this since the new update that came out today

[maiden tulip]

nah

[hot spire]

games cant make cpu over heat

a amd stock cooler can keep a 5800x3d under 70c

90c on a dual fan clc is broken somewhewre

[maiden tulip]

if you want i can boot up stalker on a 7800x3d and a noctua and show you you're wrong

@cold anvil

[hot spire]

ive played stalker on my 5800x3d

with a PASSIVE cooler, and i dont hit 80, let alone 90

80c takes all core

dear god, you can swim in avowed

[cold anvil]

sure, wouldnt hurt to try

[maiden tulip]

Just to show you you're wrong I'm gonna download 150gb xD

Gonna take me a minute

[cold anvil]

gonna download cyberpunk and see if the issue persists

[maiden tulip]

just... run a cpu stress test

[cold anvil]

oh

how?

[maiden tulip]

Download one, cpu-z, occt, prime95 take your pick

Cinebench r23

[little cape]

ew

[maiden tulip]

Cpu-z stress test... i run my fans at like 1.2k rpm on a flat curve

[little cape]

why not red hulk

[maiden tulip]

literally completely flat static curve cuz i like quiet

Cpu is pinned to 100%

@cold anvil go run it

https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

im not installing stalker over this

this should be enough to show there's an issue lol

this stress test takes like a second to download and will be enough xd

[cold anvil]

yeah got it installed

[maiden tulip]

hit stress cpu

and look at your temps

[outer pollen]

Idk

[outer pollen]

Marvel Rivals has me hitting 90c with the shader optimization

[maiden tulip]

you're in the smallest case possible with a 4090

[cold anvil]

Ok it might be so over for me lmfao

[maiden tulip]

my little nh u12a locked at 1200rpm...

compared to your watercooler going full tilt

[cold anvil]

[outer pollen]

Get Thermalright cpu cooler cheap and extremely good

[maiden tulip]

Exactly what i said

And sell the warrsnty replacement from corsair

Brand new aio you can recoup your loss

[outer pollen]

I transitioned from a Corsair aio as well

[maiden tulip]

shit like this is why i was like give your brother an air cooler not your old aio

[little cape]

meow

gaming 2025

[cold anvil]

Ok wtf, temps are normal again

[maiden tulip]

Managed to get a little water through

[hot spire]

air bubble moved XD

[maiden tulip]

yep

Look at water temp

Its gonna happen again eventually

And more and more frequently

[cold anvil]

Why is it bipolar?!?! 😭

Genuinely ruined my mood cause I thought there was something seriously wrong with it

[maiden tulip]

There still is something wrong with it

[cold anvil]

Well duh, it isnt supposed to be bipolar

Who makes these things

I really appreciate the help again Dashi

Mildly annoyed tho because I dont think I can get the warranty and I dont have any money right now for a new cooler

Literally it is what it is I’ll have to live with it

[outer pollen]

[crystal juniper]

tempting but no no, not again lol

[abstract venture]

Why you cry ?

Still in your mindset to criticize player that get better than you ? With some of your friends here ?

[crystal juniper]

?? the mindset of a player who demoted to plat then 5 man boosted back up?

[abstract venture]

And again you speak and being arrogant

Come to Eu or find friend that can come

I’ll destroy them in scrims

[crystal juniper]

what are you talking about?

[abstract venture]

Find me some immo 3 / radiant

We will do a custom

[crystal juniper]

how about you just stop trying to do 'scrims' and climb to the rank yourself

[abstract venture]

Thats what im doing

With friends

[crystal juniper]

instead of getting boosted to immo3/radiant, then falling down to plat playing yourself, then 5 man buying a boost back up again

[abstract venture]

Im asc 3

[crystal juniper]

yeah because you boosted back up after your account fell to plat 2/3 again when you played after your boost

[abstract venture]

No

[abstract venture]

I share my account *

[crystal juniper]

ah yeah, you 'share' your account yet you post clips that we can check from those games saying it's a highlight when it's 1-2 kills

then you magically climb back up again with insanely different stats in 5 man stack

[abstract venture]

?

[abstract venture]

I was not playing and I 5s

[crystal juniper]

yet when you play after the boost by yourself your stats are the reverse with you going 15% winrate and demoting all the way down to plat

[abstract venture]

Brh ?

[quiet vault]

meow

[crystal juniper]

and we know it's you because you post clips saying "check out my kills" and we track that to those same games

Also this bot isn't very good.

how does the scam part work?

[still spire]

Unsure what they do, but they make friend requests, usually for cases or something I'd imagine, yeah

Always so obvious tho

[outer pollen]

You use Kullervo? @grave granite

[trim rock]

They send friend requests and then don't say anything I really don't know what's going on with them

only during peak for public loby

only the most fit tenno are able to set foot in the conclave

honestly, good that you didn't run into anyone in aus

no

there are few aus players

but there is one above all the others... the dreaded rubbergrubhub01...

and it shall stay this way, for the best

the tenno are not worthy of conclave

"Oreo's marketing lead believes GTA 6 is coming to PC early next year"

don't get me wrong im fine with microsoft but dont buy every game and put into the gamepass

[digital dawn]

but every game for 1 dollar a month

[little cape]

just for it to lag on pc

hate gamepass on pc so laggy and trash

[sinful cobalt]

i mean i always bought games on the publishers launcher

soo i dont really care about the 3rd party launchers dx

[feral ferry]

Sigh

<@&1098943457654997093>

Gonna give Avowed a try, Obsidian's new RPG

I sincerely hope it's not shit

RT on by default

DLSS3 on by default too?

[trim rock]

RTX
ON

[feral ferry]

Oh god it does the UE thing where it generates shaders for a couple of minutes every single time you launch the game

[trim rock]

Probably better than #StutterStruggle while playing tbh

[feral ferry]

If RT didn't try to kill my poor graphics card, I'd maybe turn them on

Character creator is.. beautiful ngl

Very damn strong intro, and if you play the game you'll figure out why lel

That's a powerful presentation, they defo don't mind going there if they need to

Hm, they did not voice the protagonist at all, conversation flow is very.. old 3D Fallout-ish

Unironically, probably the most graphically prettiest game I've ever seen

[pure bear]

ew since when is this directly on steam

[feral ferry]

It's.. just really pretty?

Runs well for the graphical fidelity, on a 4060 mobile at 1440p high

[hot spire]

finally

its 80% run, jump and climb

[feral ferry]

Already played it?

[hot spire]

started last night XD

but no lie its 80% run, jump climb

[feral ferry]

It's so.. visually stunning though

[hot spire]

water is 10/10

you can actually swim

[feral ferry]

Yeah water was the one that I actually was like woah.. this is nuts

[hot spire]

im just in the first city

[feral ferry]

But character models looks also 10/10 for me

[hot spire]

wait until youre like 50m and jump in the water

[feral ferry]

Amazing presentation

Environments are... pretty damn solid too

[hot spire]

it looked way better when i turned off fsr XD

[feral ferry]

Although I'm pretty sure I'm playing at 90 FOV and the game looks insanely zoomed in

[hot spire]

it has a fov slider

[feral ferry]

I'm on DLSS3 + FG and it's fine

[hot spire]

i have a wide display so i play 110

mine didnt apply dlss3 it did fsr

and it was horrible

[feral ferry]

This slider feels like it's lying cause it's so damn zoomed in

[hot spire]

thats how current UE is

[feral ferry]

100 feels a lot better

[grizzled bramble]

Oh €79,99 and a release date

[hot spire]

at 110 fov my 2hand axe is literally 2+ foot wide

[feral ferry]

80 EUROS??

How

[grizzled bramble]

Yes lol

[hot spire]

lit literally my ingame hand is my hand size, thats how i scale fov

[feral ferry]

They should have priced it at 40 at most

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah even for a remaster

[pure bear]

modern gaming

[feral ferry]

Jesus christ yeah it's 80 for me too

[feral ferry]

Fuck modern gaming, Civ 7 released unfinished

These "modern games" don't deserve half their costs

[hot spire]

See scale is perfect

[feral ferry]

Wtf is a sneaking DLC

You can only sneak in-game if you buy a DLC?

[grizzled bramble]

You get amazing camos

[feral ferry]

It's just some costumes but.. the name is horrid

[hot spire]

dont give ubi and ea any ideas

[grizzled bramble]

OH the pre-order deluxe gives you a White tuxedo and 48-hour early access 🤩

Seems like i can run the recommended settings at least

[feral ferry]

The environment art is defo weird in this game

They look beautiful mostly, the character and creature models especially

But that weird.. glowing thingy is very low res

Kinda.. sticks out

[maiden tulip]

93.49 canadian for me

I thought 89.99 was bad but now they want an extra 3$ smh

[feral ferry]

I don't think that's very reasonable

Like, the lower the price, the more ACCESSIBLE your game is for people to purchase

Hiking the price so far up is just going to result in less sales

[maiden tulip]

People just get used to it

People complained when games went from 59.99 to 69.99 here

Then they go used to it then it became 79.99

Stayed that for a while and then ps5 pushed it to 89.99

Now they know they reached the limits and they're trying to push it slowly by 3.49 increments

OOF

sadly it's gonna work

[feral ferry]

used to it
I refuse to get used to it

Just not buying it, fuck off

[mellow garden]

Me when GTA VI is £100 for the base game

💳

[maiden tulip]

You did it for the other price points too

Don't lie

You'll hold off for a bit then cave in

[feral ferry]

And that will not happen?

You don't know who you are talking to

60 is max I'll ever spend on a game

I can't be bothered to spend 30 usually

[maiden tulip]

And i bet a few years ago you were saying 50 was the max you'd pay

[feral ferry]

Though I happily support 15 or less games like Sprocket in which I've invested an ungodly amount of time into, Terraria, Stardew

[hot spire]

i love how the chests are all the same just sliglty differ skins and tops

[feral ferry]

That makes no sense considering 60 was the industry standard for years now

60$ is an insane amount of money, and the game better actually make itself worth that amount, and that never happens

[maiden tulip]

Again i don't know about euros but look the standard changes over time

Every gen price has went up by ~10$cad

[feral ferry]

The only 60$ game I'm likely to buy is prolly going to be Arma 4 cause I actually know I'll play it

For 60$ you can buy some good ass clothes that'll last you years, why on earth would you spend that much on a barebones 10 hour experience that you'll never return to if you finish it (or not)

[hot spire]

to be fair the cost of the game stayed the same and cost to make them has skyrocketed

but the best games have the lowest budgets

[maiden tulip]

360 era was 69.99
Ps4 era was 79,99
Ps5 era is 89.99

Has europe not seen game prices rise at all?

[hot spire]

money cant buy talent

[feral ferry]

The costs did, but the audience (aka consumer sizes) also did

They did well to balance eachother out, I think

Pricing stays affordable, more people buy your game

[maiden tulip]

@feral ferry how much were games during the 360 era in europe

[feral ferry]

Fuck do I know, I was like 10

[hot spire]

pokemon sold 40million copies 30 years ago

[feral ferry]

20 euros for PS2 games maybe?

[hot spire]

same with mario 40 years ago

[feral ferry]

No, less, 20 of local currency which was like 6-7 euros

[hot spire]

peopl will buy popular games

[sinful cobalt]

the 60 euro/dollar era started with the xbox 360

[hot spire]

but big money dosent make good games

[sinful cobalt]

before 2006 was 30$-50$

[hot spire]

and aaa devs dont understand that, so they spend crazy money to try and make it back

[sinful cobalt]

"Sony effectively forced devs to sell some games for $29.99 at launch while others were sold for $39.99 and AAA titles went for $49.99."

[maiden tulip]

The euro was stronger back then that it is now

[hot spire]

yall forget how much ps2/n64 games were at launch?

[feral ferry]

I remember seeing 90s magazines that had games for like 85$

So yeah game prices were always.. high

[maiden tulip]

49.99 cad was a gamecube game

[hot spire]

usd all the games at launch were 50

[feral ferry]

If anything aren't affordable games a new thing

[hot spire]

n64 was 60

with indie games up to 80

[maiden tulip]

Back then the cad $ was closer to the usd so yeah

Price was that

[hot spire]

conkers bad fur day was 75 bucks when i got it new

[grizzled bramble]

Good game

[hot spire]

same with doom

[maiden tulip]

🤔

[hot spire]

75 bucks in 1996 is like 130 140 today

[maiden tulip]

Oh i forgot how much is sales tax

[hot spire]

spyro was like 50 only

[maiden tulip]

And is it included here sales tax is not in the price

[hot spire]

was "cheap"

i was lucky that i got a ps1 from my moms side grandma and my dad got me a n64

but getting games sucked

[feral ferry]

Tbf as a 10-12 year old child we'd go to the town market, to a shady cornerman, who'd pull out 3 gigantic boxes full of games for my console (PS2) and consoles I've never heard of back then (prolly Xbox), and it was basically "look at cover art, the back, and pay the guy 6-7 euros for them"

How did those games cost like 6 euros each.. I'll never know

[hot spire]

wild is the console was cheap XD

[hot spire]

stolen XD

[maiden tulip]

cracked copies with a label stuck to em

[hot spire]

but i got like 10 bucks a week allowance and 5 bucks a yard mowed

games sucked ass to buy

[feral ferry]

They worked no problem back then on my legit console so, who knows

[hot spire]

why i went hard into pc

because pirate XD

[feral ferry]

The only thing I'd go back in time and fix is having a PS2 and never playing a single Final Fantasy

[hot spire]

lol

[feral ferry]

I think that was my great mistake

[hot spire]

only exp i have with FF is playing with my girlfriend

[feral ferry]

Tbf maybe the reason I did never play FF is cause the shady cornerman never had them lol

[hot spire]

what was the last one on ps2?

not the online one

[maiden tulip]

12

[grizzled bramble]

Usually just played the same games over and over like CTR and Spyro other than that just went out and climbed a tree/build a treehouse or whatever we would do

[hot spire]

also paper mario i remember buying that

[maiden tulip]

just wmulate em

[maiden tulip]

Thousand year door

good game

[hot spire]

ps2 are so cheap and you can use a memory card to load aall games

[feral ferry]

Emulate
Yeah tell that to a child that knew little of english and had virtually no clue about the world

[maiden tulip]

I'm saying now

No good reason not to play them

[hot spire]

also ps2 was rough in the old days for pc emu

[feral ferry]

If you told me in 2012 "Yo did you play half-life" I'd look at you and ask you "What is a half-life" lel

I had absolutely no clue what was going on

[hot spire]

2012?

when do you think hl2 came out bud

try 04

[maiden tulip]

How old are you

[feral ferry]

Almost all of my knowledge about gaming started getting accumulated since 2015 when I actually started visiting online social circles

Discord, Reddit, etc

Before then I had absolutely no clue what existed that shady cornerman did not have

[hot spire]

2012 is like dishonored

and portal

arma 3 was 13

[feral ferry]

I've still not played a single Portal game so.. bleh

[hot spire]

skyrim was then too

[feral ferry]

Skyrim was something I did play in 2012

I heard about it from word of mouth in a study camp and the guy who had an actual android phone with me having a shitty symbian showed me a vid of the trailer

[hot spire]

just saying 2012 is way way away from hl2 XD

2012 was 3d wasnt it?

[feral ferry]

I think you missed the point of the story that I frankly had no clue wtf HL even was in 2012

[hot spire]

also gta v was then too

[feral ferry]

Half Life I'd play many years later lol

[hot spire]

im to old
XD

[feral ferry]

I got my first proper gaming PC after Witcher 3 came out and I saw a.. video about it or something?

So I built my first actually capable gaming rig in January 2016

After which that's when the good times started

[hot spire]

My first online software purchase was windows me

[sinful cobalt]

in 2016 i had a laptop with a 2nd gen i5 8gb of ram and a IGPU

[maiden tulip]

First proper rig i built was in 2013 3770k + 650 ti boost

I had a pc before that but it was not really. gaming capable, an athlon with a GT240

[hot spire]

Y'all youngins

[sinful cobalt]

and in 2018 i got a i5 3470 r7 360 with 12gb ddr3

[feral ferry]

I think the PC that my parents still use that I upgraded in 2016 originally is from 2005 and actually had an Nvidia GPU in it, it was upgraded twice, in like 2010 and 2013/14 or so, and both times it was with an AMD APU

[hot spire]

I remember the first time I used a dual CPU machine XD

[feral ferry]

I still wonder wtf happened to that Nvidia GPU

[maiden tulip]

How old are you ion

[hot spire]

Before 2 cores was a thing

[hot spire]

'91 vintage

[feral ferry]

Ion isn't as old as they let on

[hot spire]

I just used tech when I was young

[maiden tulip]

97

my dad bought an xbox because i kept wanting to play halo CE after he let me play a few times

[hot spire]

In 97 I had hand me down 486!

With zork and doom

[maiden tulip]

And he was like have an og xbox and go play with your brother

he wanted his pc back lol

[hot spire]

CE isn't on Xbox?

[maiden tulip]

CE is on xbox

[hot spire]

That's the PC version

Or do you mean combat evolved?

[maiden tulip]

yeah

[hot spire]

Generally halo ce = halo custom edition which was the PC version

[maiden tulip]

ce stands for combat evolved...

as well

Literally the same letters

[hot spire]

Never heard CE used for that, just halo

[maiden tulip]

well sorry if i played xbox till 2012 and every xbox player called it CE

[sinful cobalt]

[hot spire]

Custom edition was a addon for halo that had custom maps and stuff

[maiden tulip]

I'm disapointed in you

moumou judges you

[sinful cobalt]

i tried out and its not my game at all

[maiden tulip]

... you tried reach

[sinful cobalt]

not just reach xd

[maiden tulip]

none of the others

ah yes

5 minutes per game? 25 mins total

much gameplay

[sinful cobalt]

i played a few minutes overall in offline

as well but the gunplay is just not my style xd

[maiden tulip]

I'm gonna smite you

And feed you to moumou

[sinful cobalt]

i mean i grew up on a ps2 and underground 2

[maiden tulip]

not an excuse

[hot spire]

Underground 2 has guns?

[sinful cobalt]

no

thats a racing game xd

[hot spire]

Okay I was really confused of how that was an example of why you don't like the gunplay

XD

[sinful cobalt]

i dont like the gunplay of halo

[hot spire]

Was like to had guns?

[maiden tulip]

💥

sorry akko

[hot spire]

Ngl halo gun play is ass for sp

[sinful cobalt]

tho is still funny to me that in reach the planet that u are the ppl are speaking Hungarian xD

[maiden tulip]

It's what happens when hungarians dislike halo

I send them in outer space

As slave labor

[sinful cobalt]

lmao

[proper basin]

SMITE 2 !!!

[sinful cobalt]

i guess im not a man of culture with halo games

[maiden tulip]

GET ON THE SPACESHIP AKKO

Or she'll eat you

[sinful cobalt]

she can eat me

other then the Halo theme i never find halo enjoyable xd

[still spire]

Halo is pretty mediocre

[vapid lintel]

Halo was at it's peak when you could install it on a 512mb USB drive and play it in the computer lab at school

[pulsar prism]

Halo 1 through to reach was great, we don't speak about the others

[still spire]

Nah, even halo 1 was already mediocre with bad level design and lack of an actual story

[pulsar prism]

Very mid

[still spire]

I mean it's all Xbox toadies

Anyone who has actually played good shooters will see how bad it is

[nimble current]

it was the first console shooter that could sorta hold a candle to what pc had to offer

[pure bear]

cool bundle

[feral ferry]

@hot spire I realized why I don't like Avowed

It's like a really bland lifeless world where you just pick up glowing things and run about

No sense of ownership whatsoever, complete antithesis to KCD2 which I far prefer in worldbuilding

And I was wondering why does this feel so bland and shallow.. and I clocked it, it's the same damn feeling I had with Outer Worlds

Just.. lifeless, soulless, bland

[nimble current]

did obsidian lay off all its creative staff or smth

[feral ferry]

Sorry, stranger, my house is invaded by creaturers, will you kill them for me
Sure
Goes to their property, blows a hole in their walls, steals all their money, loots their chests

You literally just.. take whatever the fuck you want

This just doesn't feel good to play

[nimble current]

they used to excel at worldbuilding

what changed after new vegas

[feral ferry]

The problem I have with Obsidian at this point is the fact they cannot make a game where I understand who I am, what the world is like, and what is off limits and what the consequences are

[proper basin]

People left, new blood comes in

[feral ferry]

Which is what KCD2 is absolutely incredible for

[proper basin]

Like all other companies

[feral ferry]

You are a peasant, in a relatively unfair world, and nobody gives a shit about you

It's medieval ages, things weren't the fairest

KCD2 had incredible world building (I mean, they had their work cut out for them partly, it's reality)

This just feels.. you start the game, you are instantly superpowered, and then you complete a tutorial island, welcome to the open world, go do quests and whatnot

Loot everything, interact with static NPCs, nothing feels alive

Same shit as Outer Worlds

[unique bane]

@feral ferry Pantheon

[feral ferry]

Not interested

[unique bane]

Ud find ur missing soul

but somehow "not interested"

[feral ferry]

Are you part of their marketing team or something lel

I'm not playing an mmorpg

Anyways I'm uninstalling Avowed, this is just uninteresting

Did you see the riven i rolled yesterday

This feels so much more appropriate for nukes though.

[buoyant osprey]

Sad about Avowed...

[pure bear]

it's not good?

[buoyant osprey]

I haven't played it. I am however very sad about how much of a downgrade the towns are. You can't kill people in them. They mostly just stand around like setpieces never doing another animation. You can't steal things

The Outer Worlds had all of this

[pure bear]

you wonder how they make rpgs like that in 2025

in gothic 2 people had voicelines for pulling your weapon in town

[buoyant osprey]

Well actually you can "steal" things but nothing happens. They don't react or move or anything. It's so lifeless it's crazy

So many of the classic great RPG developers are now doing really poorly

Obsidian feels stagnant. Bioware is terrible and dead. Bethesda does 2 steps back for every step forward

[pure bear]

TES6 will fix everything, trust

[buoyant osprey]

I thought Starfield would be great but I found it genuinely bad, not just "meh". I'd be stupid to let Bethesda convince me to expect anything other than something bad for their next game

How to know when a game is bad: it has a "no sodium" subreddit

[pure bear]

also known as a copium den

and often about the main sub

[buoyant osprey]

A great deal of posts on them are people seething about the other subreddits and the "haters" lol

It's like a 2000s pop song, haters haters haters hateeeeers aaaaaaaah

[outer pollen]

Alright Wisp, Bubónico,Kuva Nukor and debating on what Melee

Between Harmony, Corufell, and Hate I feel edgy

Melee Exposure I think?

Maybe I’ll do that

[hot spire]

You can't even loot random items 😦 nothing has physics there is no debris

UE was a massive technical limiter I'm guessing

Yeah this was fluid and responsive player input

[buoyant osprey]

The Outer Worlds uses UE too

And has physics

[hot spire]

But Skyrim I can literally hoard all 10000 plates and pile them all up in a single room

And shit I can steal every potato in star field atleast

[hot spire]

Did you notice you literally can't push or move a single NPC?

[feral ferry]

Yes

[hot spire]

They are all on literal rails

Also the game lacks buyback from shops. How did they forget that

[feral ferry]

Literally "static" NPCs

I couldn't be bothered with that game, just boring

[hot spire]

I lost 10 minutes of the game because I accidentally sold a unique

[buoyant osprey]

Seeing an NPC in their home crouching over in the corner as if they're looking for something and then just stay in that position forever is... game design I never want to see in a modern game again

[hot spire]

There are more diaglong options in a random village in Morrowind the entire game of avowed

Also another like 1990s standard RPG feature missing is you can mark all journal items as read

You have to reread every single book and tutorial a second time to remove the notification

Also if you have gear that is currently fully maxed out, then pick up a random dagger you will get constantly notified to go to camp and upgrade the dagger

And the worst thing is the literal copy paste jump here ledge with a rug and ropes on it. Like sure in the first few missions. But every single mission is shitty design

[trim rock]

Ah the yellow paint thing where everything you can climb up has to be explicitly marked as such

I hate it!

[feral ferry]

Stalker 2 had the paint thing but it was on/off, thank god

Yeah Avowed is just devoid of character

Idk what "rating" I'd even give that kind of game, it for sure is not 80/100 like on opencritic lol

5/10 for shit story, mid combat but good graphics?

[hot spire]

Also I figured the one weapons model the whole game thing was gone by now

[outer pollen]

From update 37.0:

Harmony now has a damage cap in relation to how the weapon calculates Head Shots. After testing this change, Harmony can still achieve large damage with various formulas.

Fixed Harmony’s passive causing headshot damage bonuses to unintentionally occur twice and multiply the damage way above its intended values.

I didn't know it got nerfed

[outer pollen]

I wish HDR screenshots didn't look insane

[hot spire]

At least kcd2 can be made way better with some balancing and patchs

Idk how they fix this shitshow

[mellow garden]

A good HDR implementation is game changing

[vital wyvern]

to have a nice HDR experience is also wallet changing

[mellow garden]

OLED monitors are certainly expensive

TVs are reasonably priced at least

[hot spire]

Micro led backlight works wonders too

And honestly OLED is impressive in sdr XD

[quiet vault]

fr

oled is always hdr

[hot spire]

Especially if you are a sweaty nerd in a basement where you have zero ambient light

I know a guy with a 80 inch Sony OLED in the living room. And they don't turn off the dining room lights to use it, or close the curtains during the day

[mellow garden]

C2 42” as a monitor

I can deal with only 120 Hz as a mostly single player gamer

And some MMOs

[hot spire]

I mean over 120 isn't going to make you a better gamer

[maiden tulip]

There's a fix

Windows snipping took has a setting for hdr color correctiob

[hot spire]

Take a top 0.1% player, put them on a 10 year old MS optical mouse and rubber dome with a 60hz IPS and they will still be 0.1%

I'm pretty sure I remember well what I said about the game but shilling wasn't the correct word for it

I had fun with the game, especially with the combat, until I had to do the main quest which seriously pissed me off

2023 GOTY was BG3, there's no competition there

And I'm fairly critical of Starfield, for me it's a 6/10 game, I enjoyed it more that I didn't enjoy it, but fuck me it's not a great game

I think I've been upfront about my likes and dislikes about SF

Great combat feeling, meh quests, absolutely god awful shite story

I can't believe this game turns 30 next year! That sounds incredibly old for a videogame. When I play games from mid to late 90s they always feel 15 to 20 years old in my head, not 30

Heroes 3 is still a good game today

2 too imo but it is definitely more outdated feeling than 3

Casual reminder that there's a small indie company published by Ubisoft who are making abrand new installment based on the original games https://store.steampowered.com/app/3105440/Heroes_of_Might__Magic_Olden_Era/

Steam

And it looks bloody good

Who knew that if they just took what worked 30 years ago and made a game based on those old rules but modern graphics it'd likely be a good game

Honestly how do you even balance such games

[buoyant osprey]

I'll play it for sure. I have never played a game in the series beyond 4

[feral ferry]

You want to do cool and unique things for each faction but..

That innately can lead to some wild imbalance and unique cases of just OP scenarios

For example, Heroes 3 had that diplomacy glitch and then necro could just have an army of tens of thousands of skeletons

[buoyant osprey]

I kinda like it more when games are unbalanced

[feral ferry]

I am mainly trying to wrap my head around how do you balance

You can't just look at a spreadsheet and be like "Yup, that's balanced"

There's always going to be some wild cases of exploiting lol

I remember when during boring uni classes we played HoMM3 with a fella and during a pretty long game we amassed a gigantic army and just had a showdown

I won only cause I abused the fuck out of max powered Armageddon and Efreets were invulnerable lol, they were the only unit left standing when both sides had hundreds of tier 7 units

Think it was Castle vs Inferno game

cant wait for game night

[trim rock]

Yeah gaming I love it

[sinful cobalt]

ah yes wooting game nights

soo when wooting movie nights ?

[nimble current]

imo playing most pc games from that era feel exactly that, like 30 year old games

[small comet]

not really smth that would be easy. would cost more than fat stacks of money just for licensing

[nimble current]

so many pc titles at the time let down or at least self sabotaged by bad ui/control schemes because hey nobody thought to "standardize" things for games yet

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/im-not-trying-to-move-them-all-over-to-xbox-anymore-phil-spencer-explains-xboxs-ps5-release-strategy/

So he realizes people can't be bothered to buy an Xbox and they'll make more money if they just sell on PS5

Not a bad plan, considering by how much PS5 is outselling Xbox, the small losses in Xbox marketshare from this move will be far outweighed by the sales on PS5 platform

Again I think Microsoft is not pulling the right move in a sense, Xbox should become Windows machines, not their own proprietary OS

If they sell pretty damn good Windows PCs under Xbox umbrella for a decent price, that'd work better than whatever Xbox is doing right now

Sure.. I guess

[buoyant osprey]

More immersive than Avowed still

[feral ferry]

Avowed is the opposite of immersive

Still as water lol

I didn't play Veilguard, frankly cause I have no attachment to the franchise, but Avowed succeeds nowhere

13 hours ago the source code to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was leaked online.

By all accounts it appears legitimate. However, it is incomplete. Also, who the hell is Mark?

[small comet]

i wish we had comments like that in the wooting repos

[feral ferry]

It was leaked way before that

Same leak #🎮│game message

[buoyant osprey]

I downloaded a fan translation of King's Field 1. Anybody know how to apply it to the game file?

I can't find any instructions anywhere

[pure bear]

what format does it have

i have no idea but if its executeable or sth that gets loaded might help

[buoyant osprey]

This is the translation

The game is just a .bin

[pure bear]

i think you need to patch the .bin

with a patcher program usually

[feral ferry]

Ah it's that Josh Strife Hayes game

(I've heard of King's Field only cause Josh made a video on it)

[buoyant osprey]

Okay I found a software for it!

[little cape]

hopefully the next pokemon game isnt a offline laggy mess

[maiden tulip]

i loved s/v

I didn't care about the framerate

It was so much fun

[little cape]

im glad you enjoyed it

but for me the game ran like shit and play like shit

[maiden tulip]

Hell nico finished it and he's tried getting unti pokemon before and never managed to finish a pokemon game

[little cape]

was really sad since i was excited about the game

[maiden tulip]

the framerate was a bit low at times but it played well

I don't get why it bothered so many people

It's a turn by turn game with some exploration...
