[little cape]

you know not everyone here is from usa right?

[outer pollen]

I hate people who won’t hold a company accountable because they think the company is their friend or some deranged shit like that

[little cape]

dont even get me started on that bs man

[maiden tulip]

look at the little crossed out price

[solemn grove]

Yeah it aint a sale lmaoo

Its just a fake “oh bundle this and get a discount”

[hot spire]

so the case is 60?

[maiden tulip]

If you don't want the top cover

[grizzled quarry]

We love fake bundle discounts 💪 💪

[solemn grove]

I think for $60 it still comes with more than just the case/grip

[maiden tulip]

Which i mean if you don't get the top cover its kinda useless

[hot spire]

the grip and top cover are different thouigh

[solemn grove]

I got the $80 one cuz why would i pay $100 just for 2 extra screen protectors that i already have

[maiden tulip]

No

[grizzled quarry]

Are we talking about phone cases or ??

[maiden tulip]

They work together you can't use the top cover without the grip

[maiden tulip]

Dbrand fucking up their switch2 case

[grizzled quarry]

Oh

[maiden tulip]

Joycons don't stay attached

[outer pollen]

They’re on a roll though!

[maiden tulip]

oh my god stick grips!!!

revolutionary

[solemn grove]

Yeah ima use em

What is bro on? Its just an extra 😂

What you want a rocket with it?

[hot spire]

i mean the grip is defintly different from a top cover

[maiden tulip]

I want a case that keeps the joycons held, because of the way the grips are shaped its normal for your fingers to wrap around them, unless you have giant hands

[hot spire]

ive never used a top cover on a handheld

[maiden tulip]

Go look at the website ffs if you don't understand the product

[hot spire]

unless you count a gameboy color magnifier

[maiden tulip]

Omfg

[solemn grove]

Good thing that issue is nonexistent to me, because i dont hold my switch like a 7 year old kid

[hot spire]

i do understand it

[little cape]

god i miss gameboy color

[solemn grove]

And i want the colormatching red and blue joycon covers bad ngl

They look so good

[maiden tulip]

They don't sell a pouch to go with it they rely on you getting the top cover @hot spire

[hot spire]

and?

[maiden tulip]

Are women not allowed to have small hands?

[outer pollen]

I actually need something like this for my play date

[maiden tulip]

Do i not exist?

[hot spire]

the good old days

brought to you by duracell

[little cape]

you can buy gameboys now with ips screens or get the analogue pocket

[maiden tulip]

Troya thinks only 1 hand size in the world exists

[grizzled quarry]

No

[solemn grove]

My hands are small

[outer pollen]

Analogue pocket is a bit too pricey for me, I’m not a purist like that the Miyoo Mini Plus looks good though

[little cape]

back when gaming had passion and games actually ran properly

[little cape]

yeah thats the only thing but i heard good stuff about it

[grizzled bramble]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/s_318yx-m64 I saw this thing recently lol

[solemn grove]

Find me a woman with fingers that are shorter than the width of the joycon buddy

[hot spire]

ips screens for gpa are dope

its amazing how far that tech has come

[solemn grove]

I got this too i think its sexy

It wont fit with the dbrand travel cover tho

[little cape]

nani women exist?!?!?!🤯

[little cape]

why your mice a chode?

[maiden tulip]

Troya...look at the shape of the grip, fingers are naturally gonna wrap around it

[solemn grove]

You cant wrap your fingers around the joycons if theyre attached to the switch what

Unless you have magical fingers that can go through physical objects

If thats the case then my bad G

[maiden tulip]

Also i regular hold my switch with just 1 hand if i take a sip of something

[solemn grove]

Some egg shaped shit

[maiden tulip]

Anyhow i dont need a grip, the only person who needs one in my household is my husband, switch is fine for me as is

[solemn grove]

So? We talked about this, and i sent you a video of how a normal mofo should hold their handheld with 1 hand

Only kids hold it the way you do

Sending it again cuz you forgot about it

[little cape]

0/10 rage bait lol

[grizzled quarry]

In other words people with very small hands..

[solemn grove]

I have small hands yet theyre more than big enough to go over the joycons 🤔 find me a person with fingers shorter than the width of a switch joycon that isnt 7 years old

Actually even a 7 year olds fingers are still longer than the width of a switch joycon

[little cape]

whats blud yapping about now

[solemn grove]

About the same shit wdym

[narrow junco]

that case is gonna yellow in 2 months

[solemn grove]

Its temporary until i get my dbrand killswitch

[solemn grove]

You like them or what?

[maiden tulip]

imagine buying a case as a temporary case until he gets another case

[little cape]

this reminds me of that meme "you want my gun come take it from me with them soft liberal hands"

[maiden tulip]

Meaning he'll have spent even more on the shitty dbrand

[solemn grove]

Why would i leave my switch naked

[hot spire]

imagine wanting to protect an investment

[maiden tulip]

Because they were unable to have stock

[solemn grove]

Bro is just too poor, hey dont blame me foe your financials

Ask your husband for more money

[outer pollen]

Don’t fall for the bait Dashi

[solemn grove]

Its deadass only $20 lmaoo

[little cape]

its 0/10 rage bait dont do it

dont let the ipad kid win

[solemn grove]

A Difficult Update About Hytale
︀︀
︀︀Hey Everyone,
︀︀Today, I shared some incredibly tough news with the Hypixel Studios team: we’re ending development on Hytale and beginning the process of winding down Hypixel Studios over the next few months.
︀︀
︀︀This is not the outcome any of us - at Hypixel or at Riot - wanted. But after years of pushing forward, adapting, and exploring every possible path, it became clear we couldn’t bring Hytale to life in a way that truly delivered on its promise.
︀︀
︀︀Game development is brutally hard - especially when you’re trying to build something original that speaks to a creative, passionate community. Over time, as our vision evolved and the genre matured around us, the bar kept rising. Our technical ambitions grew more complex, and even after a major reboot of the game engine, the team found that Hytale still wasn’t as far along as it needed to be. It became clear we’d need a lot more time to get it to a…

https://tenor.com/view/minecraft-movie-a-minecraft-movie-technoblade-tribute-gif-3064284913701006142

[hot spire]

they wanted to remake minecraft like it was easy

[maiden tulip]

pig

[grizzled quarry]

Techno was a beloved mc youtuber who's been around for ages, died of cancer a few years ago

[bleak pike]

I didn't know who he was till the movie

[hot spire]

pretty sure techo was the second biggest mc youtube

[orchid prism]

Just another MC eceleb. No need to put anyone on a pedestal regardless of their untimely demise.

[maiden tulip]

I dont watch minecraft content so

[hot spire]

i mean techo was extremely good at mc

dude was a menece in pvp

[grizzled quarry]

He was probably one of if not the best pvper

On yt mc

[orchid prism]

Oh wow. Imagine becoming the best at the worst thing about minecraft.

[bleak pike]

The only time I played MC PvP was during the hunger games era

XD

[hot spire]

i mean he easily could have been pro in any fps

[bleak pike]

Idk how anyone enjoys Minecraft PvP

[grizzled quarry]

He was also just a great guy, was a large psrt of my childhood and what got me hooked on mc as a kid

[bleak pike]

Although I'll admit bed wars is kinda fun

[grizzled quarry]

Didn't techno go on a 1000 bed wars win streak?

[bleak pike]

But mainly because I was playing with Bexin

[hot spire]

but techoblade was intramental in making hypixel what it is today

his videos were massive

[bleak pike]

Like I can't believe I'm saying this

But In my entire life I've only watched one let's play series

And it was PewDiePie when he started playing Minecraft lol, who I also didn't really watch either.

In general I've never really watched YouTubers like that.

[hot spire]

and i 100% belive dreamsmp ended because of him being gone

[grizzled quarry]

I stopped watching that stuff as I got older

[bleak pike]

I didn't watch when I was younger

[proper basin]

Chuggaaconroy always my go to

[grizzled quarry]

But early youtube I used to binge that stuff from pewdiepie, jacksepticeye, etc

[bleak pike]

I just don't get it

Same with twitch

[hot spire]

also i have never watched his videos, but know who techo is

[grizzled quarry]

I don't get twitch at all

[bleak pike]

Why literally sit there in front of your screen and watch someone play games.

Regardless of YouTube or twitch

Clips I get

[grizzled quarry]

There are some games where I enjoy watching playthroughs but wouldn't ever wanna play the game myself

[hot spire]

or to learn strats and stuff

[bleak pike]

Like I know Mansen watches a Minecraft server or something.

[maiden tulip]

games are accessible enough that i never saw the point

[bleak pike]

It's like a series/world from different YouTubers

[grizzled quarry]

Ill watch faze jev playthroughs on repeat before ever playing the games myself lol

[orchid prism]

Hermitcraft - It's more about the people and the stories than it being MC 😄

[bleak pike]

That's the one

[hot spire]

Techo also was funny as shit

[maiden tulip]

Sports ok not accessible to all cuz organization needed especially for team sports but games anyone can game

[bleak pike]

Even when not accessible I never bothered

I had maybe 2-3 games a year my mum got me growing up if I was lucky.

Especially ds games, they were bloody expensive.

But lol I had to convince my grandma gta 4 was an innocent game as she asked me what i wanted for the first time xd

[grizzled quarry]

My mom bought me gta 4 when I was a kid

I was perhaps spoiled when it comes to gaming

[hot spire]

fuck im old

i bought gta4 myself

[grizzled quarry]

I uhh, was 4 when it came out..

[hot spire]

damn kids

I was 12 I when GTA 4 came out

One of my first ever video games was cod lol

[bleak pike]

I remember being so disappointed with it

[hot spire]

i think pyro was the first game i picked out

[grizzled quarry]

Whatt gta 4 was a banger

[bleak pike]

Coming from SA it felt so closed and limited

[hot spire]

that wasnt pokemon

[bleak pike]

I truly believe GTA 4 was overrated

[hot spire]

got i went though both gameboys being a thing that teachers hated, then cell phones

then smartphones

[hot spire]

100%

sa and vc were amazing

[grizzled quarry]

Maybe im just nostalgia hlocked

[bleak pike]

Ye

[grizzled quarry]

But i loved gta 4

[bleak pike]

VC and SA felt way ahead

Just not in graphics

[hot spire]

now gay tony was amazing

way better than anything that had to do with gta had the right to be

[bleak pike]

@small comet you have a fan

[grizzled quarry]

Is there a good gta 4 pc port?

oither than gta4?

holy shit 1 hour

is it worth it

[pure bear]

the start is the important bit

just a status update on it

and how its looking

[digital dawn]

im kinda curious about the pirate software section which is the longest part

I need more reasons to shit on him

[pure bear]

yeaa

[autumn depot]

did you know he worked at blizzard?

[digital dawn]

for 7 years!

[autumn depot]

he was out of mana and thats why he ran

[digital dawn]

imo the wow stuff was meaningless bullshit

[autumn depot]

yeah pretty much ;D

[digital dawn]

the animal well cheating was worse ngl

and his handling of the heartbound drama

[pure bear]

didnt he also abuse someone

i saw that

[digital dawn]

idk about allat

[outer pollen]

What’s this “Stop Killing Games?”

[digital dawn]

there was some weird almost stalker-esque person that was super obsessed with him that embellished a ton of shit about him abusing them

they even made a website talking about it iirc

it was some dumb drama afaik, I don’t think Thor actually did anything

[hardy merlin]

I dunno
But he is still asshole

[digital dawn]

did you know he worked for blizzard for 7 years?

[hardy merlin]

Nepo baby

If not for his father he'd be nowhere near Blizzard lol

[digital dawn]

dude got like 3 months of fame from youtube shorts and it went directly to his massive ego

[hardy merlin]

Ever since he released video about "how he can prevent piracy because game needs achievements to work" I knew outright that he has no idea what he was talking about

[digital dawn]

yeah

that shit was so stupid 😭

steam achievement manager has existed for nearly 2 decades

also if that was true then he would be a gigantic hypocrite (well, a bigger one at least)

since if it doesn’t work for pirates it won’t work for game preservationist

[hardy merlin]

He has like... typical game corpo mindset to be honest when it came to that
But yeah, I'm very happy that he lasted only 3 months with his mask on before people got to know how a massive asshole he is

[digital dawn]

it sucks because his manipulation tactics actually worked

a few of my friends swear by him and I have yet to see one streamer drop him

luckily his 15 minutes of fame has pasted and I don’t have to hear about the dude anymore

but I do wish more people actually recognized how much of an asshole he is

[pure bear]

he gamed the algo with shorts

and if you dont look to deep at them they seemed okay

theyre shorts so w/e and that got him rep

[buoyant osprey]

Appeal to authority fallacy

[digital dawn]

because he worked at blizzard for 7 years

and beefed with matpat

[outer pollen]

[trim rock]

Because he's an excellent game dev working hard on his game daily

[trim rock]

Yeah but he streams development progress daily!!!

[outer pollen]

What’s the game :o?

[trim rock]

Heartbound

[digital dawn]

yet the most recent chapter has been “almost finished” for literal years

but somehow he still amazingly finds time to play to wow

[verbal nymph]

If it's that long I'll thought the game is abandoned if not for the fact that he streams daily

Rito is cutting them studios pretty hard
What, Ahri skins don't bring enough money?

[orchid prism]

Spending six years for nothing just goes to show complete and utter incompetence at the lead of the project.

[hardy merlin]

Yeah
But Rito has bought Hytale Studios back in the day and took the lead of the project

Eh, good riddance

Oh, and the fact that Rito wanted them to rebuild Hytale on their engine, so they can release the game on mobile and consoles too, and that essentially put 5 years of development into the bin

[orchid prism]

[small comet]

ok but wouldnt you also cut your losses once you figure out the lead sucks... then you weigh do you wanna put another X years in with a new lead or just drop the project and cut your losses

especially considering community expectations and goodwill

[buoyant osprey]

Always feel bad for the developers that showed up to work daily for years only to pour hours upon hours of work into something that never releases

[hardy merlin]

Sure
But my point is that it's Rito who bought the studio, it's Rito who put their incompetent lead there, and only Hytale suffered from it

It should be "have our resources and do what you did before", given they already had working alpha prototype back then
Not put their slimy fingers into it

[small comet]

was the alpha prototype actually confirmed?

[orchid prism]

I mean... there's only so much you can fake for a trailer. They had something running, even if it may have been a bunch of tiny modules with very limited functionality 😄

[small comet]

yeah but vertical slice vs alpha is a big difference

[orchid prism]

Very true. "Prototype" is very vague and can mean a lot of things scope and scalewise 😄

[hardy merlin]

They had running alpha version on old engine by 2018 iirc, when Rito bought them in 2020 it was polished and ready to move to beta

[small comet]

i personally dont recall actual gameplay having been shown from before riot

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, there was only trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o77MzDQT1cg and their devlogs

[small comet]

yeah so im somewhat sceptical on playable alpha and riot being the reason its all messed up

[pure bear]

it was.... ambitious

[outer pollen]

Like Star Citizen

[hardy merlin]

[orchid prism]

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-dr-evil-one-hundred-billion-dollars-billion-money-gif-26979598

[pure bear]

star citizen is just an elaborate scam with a gamedev project attached

[hardy merlin]

Makes it third most expensive game, right after Monopoly Go! and Genshin Impact

[nimble current]

hey quiet you after 13 years of development we have a second star system to visit!

[orchid prism]

Which is predominantly PvP and poorly balanced for new players.

[nimble current]

yes but they told us that in advance so its fine

[hardy merlin]

YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY $300 SHIP?! IT HELPS US WITH DEVELOPMENT

[nimble current]

now buy $40 of npcs to man the turrets

[pure bear]

they should make each round fired detract directly from your card

[pure bear]

its crazy how managers are just modern day aristocrats

they just move from company to company as some form of economic parasite collecting millions

[hardy merlin]

You can tell exactly when he was EA CEO

[pure bear]

like what for?

to fart in an expensive office and say dumb shit?

actually aristocrats might have been more qualified cause they were raised with the assumption of rule due to hereditary systems

these people just crop up from some hellpit to sap the economy

if you were the Baron of Dumbfuckerness upon Cuckshire at least you had to at least do some management duties cause if your fiefdom wasnt producing shit the king was on your ass and you probably lived off the land too even if you didnt do the farming

these people just exist to leech of poor devs that they fire when their dumb shit backfires and if the company goes under they hop somewhere else

[verbal nymph]

That actually sounds like a leech

I guess that's why gaming becomes worse in some aspect

[hardy merlin]

Because companies want to make money
And G*mers suck cocks of said companies
Because if you anger corporation then there won't be next release of their favourite franchise

Too damn right

Can’t wait for the inevitable drama when those cloud versions get shutdown though

[fallow bronze]

What is cloud gaming here?

[orchid prism]

I assume all of the dynamic content that Hitman has.

Weekly challenges and such.

Which helped keep the game fresh.
This map you've played before - but this time you can only do this and this under these limitations as a theme

[fallow bronze]

OK.. Weird that a game is dependant on that for success

I almost thought they meant cloud streaming

[orchid prism]

I wouldn't say that it is - But they admitted that wasn't working as well on a handheld console that isn't always online for stuff like that.

[maiden tulip]

Actually no it was that the switch 1 had hitman on it hut it was being streamed

I'm glad they improved this on the 2 because now i don't have to keep my whole library installed just in case i want to play a game because downloading said games took ages

[maiden tulip]

People who wonder why the top killing games thing is failing. It's pretty easy to figure out why

[pure bear]

tldr we blame the french?

also those maps dont rly correlate in any meaningful way in my eyes

[maiden tulip]

They do tho

Look at the scandinavian countries look at germany look at the uk

[pure bear]

austria - spain?

[pure bear]

uk is only on one of them lol

this is just a income map on the left

[hardy merlin]

No
See Poland

[maiden tulip]

Again some content creators managed to make it welp

Make the news in their own countries

Spread around

[hardy merlin]

It's as correlated as this

[maiden tulip]

Plenty of french and spanish content creators for example

But italian content creators? Not really

@hardy merlin poland is fairly involved in the games industry

With shit like cdpr and whatever

People pay attention to this shit

[pure bear]

poland is femboys ofc they all know tech

[maiden tulip]

lmao

[hardy merlin]

Also our culture
Heavily skewed towards ownership
People don't like subscriptions and stuff like this here

[maiden tulip]

Ok so we have explanations for the outliars

Therefore my hypothesis works

[hardy merlin]

Spirit of 80s doesn't die
After all when people couldn't get games officially, like Nintendo games, they were pirated and sold with emulators
Keep in mind that first Nintendo distributor here showed up around Switch release, but Pokémon and Mario were huge way before

Also why most of people I know who have Switch buy mostly cartridge games

[maiden tulip]

so see we have an explanation for the outlier

remove poland for cultural reasons remove spain and france for being heavily present on social media

Basically matches

So i'm right

Also france welp ubisoft is a french company and what basically sparked this whole thing

Hell i saw mainstream news articles in french about this lol

It... literally is
There are two things necessary - 7 countries over threshold and 1M signatures
First one we already passed
So now there can be more signatures from countries where thre's a lot

[maiden tulip]

The numbers ain't really going up anymore so it reached the maximum amount of people that cared in those countries

Just tried Last of Us. It's boring. It constantly takes control away from me. I hate that God of War 2018 style gameplay. Locks me into an in-game cutscene where I squeeze past two objects
Objective: find a ladder
Objective: walk next to this person for a few minutes as dialogue appears

[orchid prism]

Gotta hide the loading screens somehow.

I was just playing Haunting Ground for the PS2 and that game has no loading screens in the world

You can enter and exit the mansion without any fade to black screens which I find very nice

[orchid prism]

No cause then you'd lose the content, and get what you spent back.

[quiet vault]

This is a flat 20 bucks for having purchased anything

[orchid prism]

https://youtu.be/bUo1PgKksgw

[maiden tulip]

[grizzled bramble]

[grizzled bramble]

[proper basin]

Lets go gaming "daddies"

[mellow garden]

There’s one knockout in Mario Kart World that I can’t get a gold medal in. So close yet so far to having all golds in the grand prixs and knockout tours.

[orchid prism]

[bleak pike]

No steam girl this summer sale

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah and im sad and mad

[iron oak]

NO

This is my personal Chernobyl

[maiden tulip]

For mirror mode you need 10 p missions, 10 ? signs and 10 peach coins in the free roam on top of that then you need to replay the 150cc special cup 1 last time and a special cutscene will play

You do not need gold in every gp and knockout tour tho

Just having played them is fine even if you didn't get first place

[quiet vault]

where is metal mario

[pure bear]

the shop is lagging for me anyway

oh well not gonna buy anything

[cyan pewter]

@outer pollen its on steam??

[outer pollen]

Yeah but I think global is behind by 8 years

[small comet]

why does some of the stellar blade gameplay i see look like nier automata

not just style wise but also the bit of fighting ive seen

i thought its supposed to be more of a souls like

[hot spire]

its just gooner bait copy pasta

[hardy merlin]

From gameplay I saw it looks like a good slasher game
Not 10/10 masterpiece, but not AAA slop either

[orchid prism]

I wonder when the new Pokemon games come out. And what weird, bizarre gimmick they will think of this time. We've had so many already 😄

[maiden tulip]

@small comet @mellow garden
Been seeing people complain about latency on the switch 2 screen. Are you guys finding it noticeable at all? Feels pretty damn close to when i play on the steam deck or switch 1 to me. shrugs

[mellow garden]

It’s certainly not as good of a screen as my Steam Deck OLED or LG C2

[maiden tulip]

@proper basin

[mellow garden]

It’s not unplayable though

[maiden tulip]

It feels like my steam deck lcd's screen tbh

[mellow garden]

Speaking of which, I’ve been meaning to sell my SD OLED.

[proper basin]

Its fine

[hardy merlin]

I think it's not about if it's noticeable or not, but about how they are cutting corners and trying to save each dollar by using displays that are worse than IPS monitor used in corporations 10 years ago...

[pure bear]

i wonder what the excuse is this time

for performance n visuals

[hot spire]

watch it be some really dumb one with the mouse function of the joycons

[orchid prism]

We've had giant pokemon as a gimmick, we've had using vehicle like pokemon as.... vehicles. I forgot what came before that 😄

[hardy merlin]

[orchid prism]

Oh right - The weird fucking crystal forms

[pure bear]

quick time events osu style

[hot spire]

vehicle like pokemon, more like pokemon like vehicle lol

[hardy merlin]

@fading spade @proper basin https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/774171/view/816953886557344988

[hot spire]

idk how they thogh lets give it fake wheels, but still have it run

[orchid prism]

I genuinely can't with either of them. They look downright stupid - even by Pokemon standards 😄

Would have probably helped if they weren't rideable.

[hot spire]

there is actually 3

but you can only ride the 2

[orchid prism]

Oy vey

I forgot what I'm currently playing on my handheld. Might be Fireleaf or something.

Pre-semi 3D for sure

[pure bear]

yeah i didnt like the motorbike dragons

[hot spire]

wait they show someone riding the thrid in the manga

[little cape]

the new one coming out you can fly roof top to roof top with your phone

[pure bear]

but sv was doomed from that gamecube looking trailer

[little cape]

and its fire red and leaf green

[hot spire]

the third is literally Cyclizar, lol

[orchid prism]

Oh gods. They would do that wouldn't they. Going on the Pikanet using electrical pokemon shaped like smartphones and switch consoles. A virtual world full of new, wireframey pokemon variants and shit like that.

[pure bear]

i recetnly saw a vid about pokemon design

and at some point there was sv footage

[proper basin]

Yippee more songs

[pure bear]

and it legit looked like out of bounds maps

i csnnot get over how bad that game looks (and dares to run with it)

[orchid prism]

I've only seen people play modded minigames on the engine 😄

Like hide and seek, and the synchro "fake shiny or not"

[fading spade]

Ooo

[small comet]

idk seems fine for me and i dont really notice anything that would tell me it has lag

[maiden tulip]

ok so im not crazy for not noticing

i think its cuz welp

[fallow bronze]

There is a demo

[maiden tulip]

It's a handheld and it's not like fancy esports shit

[maiden tulip]

it's not

The hell you smoking

[small comet]

i think its what cals said about cheaping out on already cheap ips panels

although tbf

idk how cheap HDR capable panels are

and if they dont all have this lag issue that was measured
