sounds very awesome sauce

[orchid prism]

Three things are certain in life, Death, Spice and Imperial Taxes.

[novel estuary]

That's actually why I replaced my advanced fief with the basic one. But I guess it's not feasible from a certain point onwards 🤔

[orchid prism]

Wasn't too bad. Ended up paying two grand, and I had 50k saved away from looting so far. Used the chance to visit both factions and progress a bit in class unlocks.

[sinful cobalt]

soo looks like Dune is a fun game

[orchid prism]

Grindy - More fun with friends. But sure?

Muad'Dib!

[loud violet]

you send that right after the {insert rejection letter} meme cmoooon

[cold anvil]

Thank you moderator

[loud violet]

we love a swift ban

[orchid prism]

Oh boye! Dune has radio stations. Took me three days to realize that. And they are awesome 😄

[hot spire]

do they have sandstorm?

[orchid prism]

Kind of.

They're mostly a "you have two minutes to find cover for 30 seconds, or you're going to take damage, and your vehicle is going to wear hard" thing.

[iron oak]

What are the harkonnans saying in their anti attriedes propaganda

[maiden tulip]

New tony hawk runs well on steam deck. Native 800p medium shadows low effect maxed textures 60fps

steam cloud is borked tho my save doesn't transfer between the deck and the pc

[bleak pike]

Go to sleep

[maiden tulip]

I am

I was just postinf this BEFORE sleep

Because i just played a shit ton of tony hawk today

[hardy merlin]

Booooo
Pre-purchase
Boooooooo

[digital dawn]

you will buy games before reviews and you will like it

[maiden tulip]

I mean... it's out?

It's not a prepurchase

I just bought the deluxe

@hardy merlin

I wanted doom ost + doomguy

[hardy merlin]

Disappoint

[maiden tulip]

The reviews are literally out

The hell you both on about @hardy merlin @digital dawn

Also 2game deal pog

[fallow bronze]

Dashi will consume

[hardy merlin]

No Denuvo

[maiden tulip]

You're right, i'd rather get 20% off at launch than wait months for a shitty steam sale that will have the same discount

[digital dawn]

your greed sickens me

[fallow bronze]

Not just more discount, but also more patches!

[maiden tulip]

Literally every single discounted game i bought this year has worse pricing on the steam sale than i paid AT LAUNCH from third party sales

[narrow junco]

I‘d rather save 100% by not buying the game

[digital dawn]

disgusting consoomer

[maiden tulip]

So far none of the games i've played this year had issues

I buy good games instead of monster hunter milds

[digital dawn]

I seriously doubt that

[narrow junco]

I will not tolerate wilds slander

[maiden tulip]

You bought it? Ha

That's even worse than me buying games from third party at launch

[narrow junco]

Yeah and i have a great time playing it

[maiden tulip]

it runs like shit

[narrow junco]

I dont have any performance issues

[hardy merlin]

Am waiting for expansion to fix all gameplay stuff

[narrow junco]

I set my settings higher than recommended and it‘s all fine

[narrow junco]

Idk the combat feels great, fights are fun and the more recent ones are challenging too

[digital dawn]

they had a pretty big update a few months ago that was supposed to specifically target performance issues and the game started to perform worse afterwards

I don’t think there’s any hope

[hardy merlin]

I prefer Sunbreak combat

Also

[narrow junco]

I dont prefer sunbreak cause i didnt play it

Couldnt get through base game rise without going back to iceborne

[pure bear]

rise was dog

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, Rise sucks ass
So much has been fixed with Sunbreak

[maiden tulip]

Game literally isa t an overwhelming negative on steam

Point stands tho

[narrow junco]

[maiden tulip]

I buy good games and don't pay full price and get them on launch day while yall will sit there waiting for a steam sale for months to get a worse discount

[narrow junco]

Bad perf doesnt mean game is bad inherently

[verbal nymph]

ayy

[maiden tulip]

I'm doing the smart thing

Yall doing the dumb thing

[digital dawn]

I think it quite literally does actually

[verbal nymph]

Which means if Microsoft take away my minecraft, I'll just pirate it

[digital dawn]

if you can’t run/play the game then it is absolutely inherently bad

[narrow junco]

A good game that runs terribly can overcome it and become something that people can enjoy. A bad game that runs good cant be magically turned into a good game without becoming something else.

[digital dawn]

I respectfully disagree

[hardy merlin]

Thankfully, given shit-ton of 3rd party launchers existing, that's not a problem

[verbal nymph]

it depends on the game, if it's like 15fps but point and click, I guess? But if it's fps/rhythm game, it's a massive NO.

[narrow junco]

By overcome i mean like

Over time with patches or whatever

[hardy merlin]

For really good MH game I wouldn't mind playing in ~30ish FPS
I mean, that's how I played on 3DS and my shitty laptop before I had a PC, so...

[narrow junco]

A patch that fixes performance on a good game does not change the game‘s essence

A patch that magically makes a bad game good does

[hardy merlin]

thank you ubisoft for potentially destroying whole corporate landscape of modern gaming

[digital dawn]

thank you pirate software

[hardy merlin]

Jason "Deep Voice" Hall is definitely one of the people of all time for that

[digital dawn]

I think you mean Thor “worked at blizzard for 7 years” Pirate Software

[hardy merlin]

Also I think his autotune is breaking, because he turned up his "deep voice" so much that it sounds almost robotic by now

[digital dawn]

or potentially Pirate “Second Puberty” Software

[digital dawn]

really???

there’s no way lmao

I wasn’t ever super sure if he fakes his voice (and frankly I never cared) but if he’s making it that blatant atp that’s really funny

[outer pollen]

Only the real ones know

[hardy merlin]

https://www.rxddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1lv3290/after_complaining_for_months_about_brigading/ around 0:20 you can really hear it

[verbal nymph]

this audio is soo bad

[hardy merlin]

Coding Jesus made a video 2 days ago about HeartBound's code, and how Jason may be second coming of YandereDev
Jason's Discord responded by brigading Coding Jesus

[digital dawn]

what the fuck is that???

how do you get your mic to sound that dogshit

[hardy merlin]

I mean, I know Blue Yeti is not great
But come on

[novel umbra]

To be fair, if he just went by "jason hall the video game developer guy" then he would get confused with jason hall from monolith

[digital dawn]

literally just go by pirate software or jason then

thor is so corny

[novel umbra]

Yea not disagreeing

But piratesoftware might end up not being a one man show

[loud violet]

idk piratesoftware sounds normal to me, the stream voice is just make-urself-sexy podcast EQ 101

[digital dawn]

adding a bit of bass to his voice wouldn’t be such a big deal if he didn’t use the whole “second puberty” thing as a big part of his character

[pure bear]

thats just cause he cant ever admit fault

[digital dawn]

a third of his personally is having a (fake) deep voice

[pure bear]

all he needed to say was "yea i cranked the bass a bit cuz it sounds good"

and it wouldve been brushed under the rug

so instead he has to make up some kinda bs reason

[digital dawn]

maybe he’s just never wrong 🤔

[pure bear]

absolutely

[loud violet]

also unrelated but im still reluctant about the drama, cause i used to watch the guy and i now see clips of streams i was there for surgically cut up to not include the points he made

[pure bear]

he has 20 yrs of experience hacking the federal powerplant for his daddy blizzard

[loud violet]

i know drama gotta be drama but, yknow

[hardy merlin]

I used to watch the guy too before all the drama with WoW and SKG
That's how I know he doesn't know jack shit about game development

[pure bear]

i watched the code jesus vid and man, even i know thats not how you code a game

[digital dawn]

one of my buddies used to swear by him and defend him

thank fuck they realized he’s a dumbass

[lucid brook]

Every single time I come here you guys are talking about the same person 😅

[pure bear]

hating is fun and hes making it real easy

Now we just need a mod that lets you generate a new world, and fly between them in a solar system.

(That is updated for Oddyssey*)

[vapid lintel]

I predict that will exist within 7 days of launch

I look forward to be able to play again in a month and a half, when most mods are updated 😄

In the meantime however, the spice controls space travel.

[hardy merlin]

1. He's actively wishing that SKG fails and people won't get what they want
2. Coding Jesus made a video on how Jason sucks at coding and may as well be YandereDev in disguise
   Jason responded with a call to his Discord server to brigade Coding Jesus mail and Discord server
   Since then he removed VOD because it's against ToS of both YT and Twitch
   That was yesterday

[maiden tulip]

Pirate software is the nepobaby who says he worked at blizzard

Have you never heard of him?

[orchid prism]

I don't know why I was suddenly brought into a conversation about him out of nowhere.

[hardy merlin]

Becasue we talked about it earlier and you reacted to Goku's comment

[maiden tulip]

Didn't pirate also say some wierd shit about how we was as demonized as fucking kony 2012

[orchid prism]

Yes - Which replied to a screenshot about NOTCH and a completely, out of context "fake radio voice" comment.

So like - WTF did NOTCH do suddenly was my confusion.

[hardy merlin]

Ah
No idea

[loud violet]

still, notch W

[hardy merlin]

He is constantly saying some weird shit, so it may be possible

[hardy merlin]

Extremely rare W, but sure

[mellow garden]

He went onto Dr K and ignored all the advice

Although I do wish people would stop giving him the attention beyond just dealing with the SKG stuff.

[maiden tulip]

https://youtu.be/927RKg4RUAw?si=DHOhK7yR26BszqQA

pirate software the african warlord

🤣

[pure bear]

he just has to be the Center man

[hardy merlin]

He tends to appeal to a certain crowd which thinks that they are always right and everyone else is wrong
Which, coincidentally, is also the crowd which is the easiest to make fun of

[mellow garden]

Yeah but just don't do it

Don't feed the troll

[little cape]

notch didnt do anything wrong i was talking crap about pirate software hes the one who fakes his voice

[orchid prism]

That's not what you replied to though.

[trim rock]

Yeah as I said before I never liked him in the first place so whateva, he can keep being stupid to his audience they probably don't mind

[little cape]

i replied to cals post

[loud violet]

i still think a lot of the piratesoftware hate is superficial

[little cape]

i can see why you thought i was talking about notch but i was talking about what drama pirate software is in now

[mellow garden]

Many hate watchers that are just waiting for him to crash out

Many such cases

[trim rock]

Bruh why do people do that to themselves

[loud violet]

i do think he fucked up big time and is gonna die on that hill but i think we gotta hate what's there to actually hate

and not make random other things he did or said catch strays

[orchid prism]

Schadenfreude.

Man's refusing to accept he did anything wrong, and just doubles and triples down.

[pure bear]

what an unhinged response

[pure bear]

exactly thats why making fun of him is so entertaining

he just keeps digging the hole and ofc ppl make more fun of that

Me with any farm game that uses stamina.

Fake news unfortunately

It's tracked by Steam250, which sucks when it comes to this
Dexerto made an article about this because it's one of the biggest content farms

You should

In case you don't mind leaving your PC on for a couple of hours, @vapid lintel (or actually watch Twitch streamers I guess)

I kind of dig the look.

[mellow garden]

Can always use an iPad or whatever... unless it's a Hoyo game where Twitch Drops aren't earnable on mobile devices (for some reason).

[bleak pike]

You can also use a farm tool and avoid this all together

Thank you!

[little cape]

i need new story game to play

[barren pewter]

Fallout New Vegas
FOLON

[little cape]

you played the mod?

[barren pewter]

yes?

it's quite enjoyable

[little cape]

i heard good things about it

[barren pewter]

definitely better than all the slop besthesda has put out over since F3

[little cape]

yea i tried getting into f4

[barren pewter]

it's really impressive

[little cape]

then randomly stopped playing it

[barren pewter]

I swear, FOLON is the unofficial Fallout 5

look
play it
it's fun

besides
hard to beat the price of entry

which is free
if you have a game that frankly, most people probably already have
and you can get for the price of a farmer's wrap on a key seller if you haven't yet

you need all DLC as well, but that's kind of a whatevs

[little cape]

farmer wrap use to be soo good

[hardy merlin]

I bought F4 solely to play FOLON

[barren pewter]

true
but now it is ass

[barren pewter]

good boy

[hardy merlin]

That was the only reason that F4 was of any value to me

[little cape]

yeah

icl i got into it because of the show

i mean i bought it on ps4 when it first came out

but suddenly just didnt play it

[barren pewter]

the show makes my blood boil

it is so egregiously bad and shits over what fallout is supposed to be about

[hardy merlin]

I should probably try it again
Last time I had black screen issues
Maybe now it'll work better

[little cape]

really?

i know nothing about the lore

[barren pewter]

honestly
after fighting with the mod for a bit, and using the crash log thing on their dicksword, I got it running smooth as silk

[barren pewter]

yes

also apparently their first content update

is coming out
soon™

[little cape]

for folon?

[barren pewter]

yes
they're making
DLC type updates

to the massive mod
absolute legends

[little cape]

thats fucking awesome

i assume i download the mod from their website?

[barren pewter]

GOG

if you have F4 on GOG, install is super duper painless because you don't need to manually downgrade from the "we broke everything so you can play with an update that fixed a couple things within a month of launch via mods" update

[hardy merlin]

[barren pewter]

also
for that egregious crime
I am not buying another copy of Skyrim

fuck you Todd

bro unironically nuked F4's mods by updating in a way that broke the script extender

that shit is the reason FOLON had to be delayed

[little cape]

damn i dont got that i bought it on steam when it was on sale gg

[barren pewter]

eh, manually downgrading is easy

just crack open the console and type in various depots to install

:>

then FOLON installer just needs to be pointed in the right direction and it'll do what it does

[hardy merlin]

And on Linux via Heroic it has to be installed to the same prefix, so potato potato

[barren pewter]

eh, F4 mods are really hit or miss on Linux or Mac

tbh I haven't tried FOLON on my Mac via one of the emulation methods

[hardy merlin]

Correction - used to
Proton makes life so much easier

[barren pewter]

maybe that'll be a fun project when they've finished all the content updates

[barren pewter]

chances are pretty high that a macbook will be my gaming machine for a whole year
so...that would be nice

[little cape]

yeah i'll watch a video on it

easy install

how much is the mod in cad do you remember?

[barren pewter]

[maiden tulip]

The crash log thing you didn't tell me about when i had issues

[barren pewter]

cry about it

[maiden tulip]

and instead made me install more mods to fix the mod

[barren pewter]

ngl that's usually the main culprit for the issues you were having

either way
cry about it

or don't
get even instead

[maiden tulip]

no

[barren pewter]

I'm all for a healthy revenge arc

[maiden tulip]

ur my friend i can't hurt you

[barren pewter]

gurl you clearly need to pick better xD

[maiden tulip]

hush

[mellow garden]

Unlocked all the Nier skins in Stellar Blade. That one outfit is certainly, err, gooner bait

Good job Krafton
Unknown Worlds was doing too well with Subnautica 2 development, and Krafton didn't want to pay out bonuses, so they delayed the game and fired lead, rest of the devs followed him
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/survival-crafting/subnautica-2-reportedly-delayed-into-2026-just-months-before-krafton-was-due-to-pay-a-usd250-million-bonus-to-developer-unknown-worlds/

Gotta love 2020s gaming landscape

• your game does too well - fired (Disco Elysium)
• your game development is doing too well - fired (Subnautica 2)
• your game did well, but other studio from the same publisher made unplayable shit - believe it or not, fired (Hi-Fi Rush and Starfield/Redfall)

[little cape]

yeah gaming just going to shit

bring me back to the early 2000's

[vital wyvern]

well I guess I'm not buying subnautica 2 now

not gonna fund this kind of garbage

[hardy merlin]

Game development used to be about making a badass demon-slaying shooters and buying Ferraris for money earned from it
When it all came down?

[little cape]

when micro transactions, free to play bullshit and buying games that you dont really own became a thing

[maiden tulip]

Crapton

i need prime pokemon in my life again

https://tenor.com/view/copium-cat-gif-27161395

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-game-boy-pokemon-red-pidgey-gamefreak-gif-24718560

[vital wyvern]

they'll probably make like a soulless 5/10 now and then boot the rest of the studio, losing millions in the process

[hardy merlin]

You mean making millions in process, because soulless 5/10 will sell like crazy anyway

[vital wyvern]

i doubt it, people already didn't like subnautica below zero, because it didn't have the charm of the original

[hardy merlin]

And it sold 3 million copies anyway

[verbal nymph]

Don't blame the publishers, blame the people that buys it

[little cape]

fr like when so many people complained about the switch 2 pricing on the internet but they probably went out and bought one

[hardy merlin]

I bought a nice headphones for the price of Switch 2

[vital wyvern]

but Subnautica og sold 6 million units

so if they make a poorer game than below zero it'll sell like few hundred k and then publisher kills the entire studio because wahhh my capitalism

[hardy merlin]

By now it's 8 million
But yeah, Unknown Worlds is already on its way to meet the wall
Though good thing - most of the devs followed the lead and it looks like they'll be making new studio soon

[vital wyvern]

why they never learn is beyond me

[pure bear]

greed ig

[hardy merlin]

I mean... why should they?
As long as people will be buying slop games and defending publishers, there will be money to be made

[vital wyvern]

because shortsightedness means they make good profits for 1 year instead of 10

[outer pollen]

[vital wyvern]

it doesn't take a big brain to understand that building something sustainable is better than just exploiting everything and everyone until they are bled dry and then having nothing to work with again

[hardy merlin]

Long term profits?
Nobody cares about those anymore
Get into company, suck it dry as fast as possible, move to other company, repeat

[vital wyvern]

[hardy merlin]

Games are being released unfinished, broken, unoptimized - and still sell millions of copies in the first week...

Yeah, it’s largely fine. Mostly just fan service with certain outfits and jiggle physics that are a smidge excessive when posing in photo mode. I’ve been using this outfit which is from the deluxe edition, I think.

[orchid prism]

Oh boy. Consumer rights orgs are going to LOVE this.

[small comet]

im pretty sure this is also smth that already happened on the switch 1

if someone used a dumped xci with the cart cert still in it and played with it in online mode

then the original dumped card cant be used at the same time

due to the ban risk

[verbal nymph]

okay, it go from atmospheric scenery to like generic mobile game reject

[tough jay]

What I know can happen at least is the original owner of the card may have copied / distributed it, or otherwise gotten the serial key.
If that card has been flagged because of use with MIG Switch, it could result in bans while using.
Honestly kinda understand Nintendo's view on it and they simply unban with a proof of purchase

[nimble current]

at this point it'll be easier to just list the select few things you are allowed to do on your switch 2

[outer pollen]

Give Nintendo money

[loud violet]

12% tax if ur not using nintendo-pay

[nimble current]

heck I'd rather give money to ubisoft or something

[orchid prism]

Most second hand products don't come with a proof of purchase though.

Possession implies ownership. You shouldn't be banned for this, only asked to reach out to customer support with the game being unable to install or launch.

And if the same cartridge keeps changing owners, they can ban the cart key entirely and explain to the customer.

This is on Nintendo for putting in severe DRM if anything.

[tough jay]

Very much true, just some counter to ban out of nowhere. If they had the infrastructure revoking the license key would have been reasonable. Banning a whole console for using a licence thag has been copied goes too far yea

That said no thanks for me on using locked down systems like that.

Yeah, I'm done, not getting Subnautica 2 for sure
Too much drama by now

[sinful cobalt]

Im happy that i got Subnautica 1 and the DLC

[iron oak]

Atleast it appears they blame poor leadership than the devs

[maiden tulip]

It really seems messy

[maiden tulip]

I mean... the leadership of the devs xd

[sinful cobalt]

I mean they blaming the leadership and thats already rare

[maiden tulip]

UW says Krafton doesn't want to pay 250M$ in bonuses while Krafton says UW just wants to release a shitty early access as quick as possible that's not up to their standards

Could be one or the other really

Considering we're talking about an early access release I think Krafton's version is most likely

[tough jay]

Whatever is the case, If UW has a good one I am certain we would see it in court. I would assume with a deal as big as this, the contracts would be pretty solid.

If this does not turn into a lawsuit I am more inclined to believe Krafton

[maiden tulip]

The fact that krsfton responded with that much detail leads me to believe they have solid evidence

And that UW was just shit flinging

Generally corporations stay really vague on shit like this

[tough jay]

I mean it could be part of their strategy publicly stating the case they will make.
I am also pretty sure they would have talked to legal about this regardless.

[vital wyvern]

meh it's like the top comment says, it's just their word against the former leadership

[iron oak]

@grave granite So I accidentally hit done when using the playlist at some point I have to redo the first 75% of it however, I did all the levels. Do i just repeat playing the benchmark and try to improve the scores or should I be doing specific training levels?

So I have identified a weakness playing hit-scan characters aka (flicking) what specifically should I be doing for that? Tracking is my strong suit when it comes to aiming atleast from playing the iron benchmark.

Also just want to say thank you so much for the helpies!

So specifcally I'd say my micro isnt great. Speed and wide flicks is were my real struggle shows. i guess speed in general?

So I should do
-hipfire
-pokeball

on the iron benchmark?

ah

so you recoomend those ones specifically?

do i search "kt hipfire" or something?

So wait what am I searching/doing in kovaaks to find that scenario format playlist thing

sorry im so confused

So I look up 1w_t or 1wall_target and I should see the results?

wait so what does the number mean the difficulty?

ah so 3 dots would be on my screen at a time if I put 3?

Okay so I think something it would be 1w1t to search since it would be wider flicks

so i search 1w2t?

oh wait i'd search 1wall3target

ok cool

1ww3t?

so I'll try regular wall

and wide wall

thank you!

I like how they call themselves Video Games Europe but only 20% of game studios of VGE are from Europe
And how all trade associations are not represented by local studios, but by ActiBlizz, EA, Microsoft and such

[vital wyvern]

they are effectively saying "Man, incorporating seatbelts in these cars we are making is a significant expense and engineering challenge when we are used to making cars without seatbelts for so long! this is unreasonable!"

like I can understand what they are saying about it making it harder in some capacity to make games, but at the end of the day, contrary to what they argue, I do believe it's a proportional claim to have access to a game you bought, forever.

because you bought the game. you didn't go to gamestop and sign a non-perpetual license to play it, no. you just bought a game and you should be able to use the thing you bought until you don't want it anymore

[hardy merlin]

Look at Video Games Poland
It should be represented by CD Projekt, Techland, 11 bit, PlayWay, People Can Fly, CI Games
It has NO people from Polish game studios
Their representatives are from Bandai Namco, Xbox and Sony, this is pathetic

[vital wyvern]

though I do think it's kind of odd that we make this about games only, why not about any online service or product?

[hardy merlin]

Games is a first step towards that, should the law pass I think there will be initiative from EU when it comes to software too
Or they'll just draft the bill to include software as a whole

[vital wyvern]

i don't think it passes though, the lobbying is too hard from their side and on consumer side there's nobody with any authority

[hardy merlin]

For now we only got statement from lobby group and initiative from people
Plus Ross said he'll take care of crowdfunding lawyers after initiative signature process ends
It's still too early to do anything

Thoughts Mansen

[orchid prism]

Anti consumer lobbying group doesn't like consumers getting rights. More at eleven.

As the Reddit summary points out, most of these arguments are just utter bullshit.

[vapid lintel]

If private servers are allowed, they won’t be able to moderate harmful content or enforce anti-cheat measures.

• So what? It's a private server, fuck off with your moderation or anti-cheat, that's up to the server owners to manage.

Allowing players to run private servers would present significant engineering and architectural challenges , due to the fact they may be done with proprietary technologies and systems.

• Skill issue. If this is known from the start, it will be achieved.

Reputational Harm: Allowing players to run private servers, with online interaction possibilities could result in players using those games in ways that don’t align with the games companies’ brand values

• Put any other product or service in its place, and you'll see how ridiculous it is.

[orchid prism]

Beat me to it. Yep

If people can emulate games like WoW, then there's no game too complex out there unless you're intentionally adding really obscure shit for the sake of obscurity.

[hardy merlin]

Could result in players using those games in ways that don’t align with the games companies’ brand values
I mean... that's even better honestly

[small comet]

people are reverse engineering dead mmos from packet traces that are years old

a bit of moderation or "proprietary systems" wont stop anyone

Under 50 hours is not uncommon at all, if you actually want to unlock classes and progress in the story. 😄

[bleak pike]

I'm considering starting over and joining your server for free resources

[orchid prism]

It all opens up significantly, once you get the buggy, due to the sheer increase in mining speed and storage.

Honestly the biggest issue is gear. A lot of unlocks happen in lategame areas, so if you want to dip into Bene Geserit or Swordsman (or Plantologist, which is a must) you gotta get to around Steel gear and be pretty decent at FPS.

I mean... they're pretty blue. They don't have that unnatural GLOW like in the old ones.

[iron oak]

I like the purple

[orchid prism]

The colour depends on the maturity iirc?

The games color of spice is interesting very vibrant

[orchid prism]

Kind of needs to be, to make it obvious where it is to mine.

[iron oak]

What did it look like in the movies?

[orchid prism]

Mining spice is a very in and out bank robbery thing of thing. Not quite like the books or movies unfortunately 😄

[iron oak]

In the end game you can farm with the giant plower

You just need a team to make sure you don’t get eaten or killed

[bleak pike]

I'll plow you

Wait

[orchid prism]

Sure. But it's still a minute long process at most. Very hit and run - much more than in the movies or books. You are out there for hours, and then scout the worm from afar.

[bleak pike]

Ur blue

[iron oak]

It think it’s a violet like color

According to their wiki they have insect life

Also the worms are a type of bug

@orchid prism is birds flying outdoors new

[cold anvil]

I love modded lethal

[orchid prism]

My eyes hurt just from looking at that.

I can TASTE the pixels.

I wasn't wrong. I did remember correctly 😄

This is why it's orange sparkly in the new movies, and why it's purple in the game - cause you're mining it fresh out of a spice blow.

[orchid prism]

I also rewatched the new Dune movies in bits to research, and did notice they DO go into a glide.

So I was indeed wrong about this being a weird Dune: Awakening gimmick.

[vital wyvern]

why stop there, go read the book

[pure bear]

why stop there, go to arrakis

[hardy merlin]

Just get high on some hard drugs somebody behind the store told you is "spice"

[orchid prism]

I can't find it!

I have the entire collection.

[orchid prism]

Welp - There it is. The final straw that broke the Camel. Good as time as any to take a long, long break from Dune.

The game decided to land me in a storm without any warning as I was re-entering the main zone. My Ornithopter immediately broke apart, and was a pile of scrap. Had to pack it up into my backpack, drop a ton of valuables on the ground and lug it back on foot for 4km.

[iron oak]

RIP

[fallow bronze]

I value my time a bit too much for such mechanics

[nimble current]

people out here playing mmos not expecting it to waste their time

[orchid prism]

It's a bug. But yeah. This game would work just as well as a self hosted thing, but gotta make dat munny

Ny biggest frustration is just that - if this was a game I hosted, I'd just open the console and spawn in a new one and move on.

It's not really an MMO in the traditional sense.

More like Ark and such.

Prepare to die? More like wait for mods amirite.

Yes. Ancient article - Someone reminded me that Japanese studios keep doing this shitto.

[pure bear]

ah ptd

[tough jay]

That version still is somewhat problematic, mods helps but still not a great port at all with stutters and such.

[vapid lintel]

Sounds like it's time for some Rimworld

[orchid prism]

Maybe next vacation. I think my work efficiency would dip, if I reopened that old wound again anytime soon 😄

[little cape]

ngl i thought that said 527 hours instead of 52.7

[orchid prism]

That would be impressive over the course of a one week vacation to be sure.

That would require me to play, nonstop for over three weeks.

You know... like Rimworld.

https://www.theverge.com/news/705383/ifixit-teardown-nintendo-switch-2-pro-controller-repairability

[outer pollen]

Did you look at the comments?

[hardy merlin]

[outer pollen]

Mostly people getting mad at ifixit

[maiden tulip]

They mostly just whine about hall effect.

I own it i think it feels great

Repairability is kinda meh tho

But considering i abused my pro controller 1 and it still lives on

I'm not too worried

I feel like them calling it a piss poor excuse for a controller is kinda dumb

If you wanna shit on the repairability that's fine and it's understandable

But it's genuinely a good controller to play with

Just feels like they're trying to get clout instead of focusing on what really matters which is yeah its a pita to get to the battery

Like if this is a "piss poor excuse" for a controller then all of the phones and tablets they took a look at should be called piss poor excuses for a phone or tablet

[trim rock]

Well yeah I mean it's iFixit I only know them as source for teardowns and such I would expect their reviews to only touch how good things are for self repairs

[maiden tulip]

Exactly so them trying to pain the controller as a bad product seems really out of touch

[trim rock]

Well if you only consider how easy it is to repair then yes it's looking like a bad product, just watched the review it only really talked about how hard it is to take apart and fix (and usual whining about not using hall effect sticks)

[maiden tulip]

Again it's why i'm saying the title is kinda dumb/clickbaity

If they called it idk

The pro controller 2 is a unrepairable mess it would have been more fitting

The title makes it seem that they're refering to like the controller itself

[pure bear]

@sinful cobalt @maiden tulip

[sinful cobalt]

10/10

But idk what am i looking at

[maiden tulip]

Mokepon

[maiden tulip]

https://youtu.be/6K_jcXrtrx8?si=hyNmNzv6CPvNfG_9

also they're hyper apologetic towards the dualsense xd

Despite it being a mess too in a different way

Again just feels like ifixit wants to get the nintendo hate clickbait

He's clearly struggling to open it xd

Also hall effect isn't a thing on it but it's barely mentionned despite hall effect being a thing back then too

Talking about the switch 2 aver media's dock is finally on sale

It got an update to work woth the switch 2

• considering its avermedia im not too worried about reliability/firmware updates in the future

[hardy merlin]

Come on, that's low
Everyone knows DS Edge is a piece of junk
Replaceable sticks, good luck with that, always out of stock, and scalpers buy out everything of a small batch Sony releases in a bumfuck who knows when
And "adaptive triggers" where you can set your depth, but then a light breeze can break them

It shouldn't receive any praise, because what's of repairability, if you can't get parts to repair

[maiden tulip]

It really proves my point that they just wanted the nintendo clickbait xD

They dont bother to call out other shitty products unless they think it gets them clicks

[mellow garden]

Yeah but PlayStation good, Switch 2 bad.

Beeg news!

[bleak pike]

I saw this

10/10

[orchid prism]

My... right. My hair. About that, Lady.

[buoyant osprey]

What game is that?

[orchid prism]

It's even better outside of cutscenes.

[vital wyvern]

for fun I tried GPT for this and just pasted your description and the second attempt it had got it right this is the exact kinda question I use LLMs a lot for

since they can basically search the entire internet with some context-awareness

Sounds like Minecraft might be merging Java and Bedrock behind the scenes?

[pure bear]

probably not a bad idea

i stayed on java cause i knew it but at some point... yeah maybe

[vapid lintel]

Never understood why they have 2 or 3 versions..

I have bought Minecraft too many times

[verbal nymph]

still less than skyrim at least, unless you count the console edition.

[orchid prism]

Because Java was never marketed to its full potential. Bedrock is riddled with microtransactions, something they can't just sneak into Java through an update without massive backlash and modders just adding it all through mods.

[pure bear]

yeah, java had tech debt and such, they made bedrock as arestart but kinda badly and it floundered

so now here we are

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH9IxfSNyjI
One for @vapid lintel 😄

[outer pollen]

Is this a fun game?

[fading spade]

if it merges, wont that mean it drops macOS and Linux support too??

cause thats why most people play Java, cause it works on all 3 OS

[orchid prism]

It's terrible.

If you like story creation games - aka. sandboxes where you're telling the story through your choices and the random events, it's a great game.

[fading spade]

Actually, OFC it will drop MacOS and Linux support, Microsoft own it now and they run Windows, so they dont wanna offer their game on competing platforms

[orchid prism]

Suffice to say it has near endless possibilities for theme, due to its very moddable core. Star Wars, High Fantasy, Pirates, Ancient Egyptians.

This is one of many series that this guy has made - good stuff and not a bad way to decide if the game's for you.

Basic premise - Build a base from nothing, protect it from jealous neighbors, grow and prosper, reach peak of civilization and crash and burn (and start over with a new concept)

[vapid lintel]

Dunno, I'll let you know once I finish the tutorial

These two point suggest that the game is excellent

[narrow junco]

Must be a lie

[orchid prism]

Doubt that lawsuit will go anywhere. Or that law is put into writing to prevent these exploitative, loose promises that can be cancelled on a whim (and often are)

[vital wyvern]

yeah we'll just get minecraft community edition that's gonna be the de-facto version until forever for mods and custom stuff

[fading spade]

I know 3 people who prefer bedrock

mostly cause the FOV slider actually works properly on Bedrock and Java edition gives them motion sickness

[orchid prism]

What are you on about? The slider works fine in Java?

[fading spade]

it always seems more claustrophobic to me

[sinful cobalt]

but the FOV slider is the same in java as in bedrock

[fading spade]

it doesnt work the same way

it distorts the image way less on Bedrock, cause on Java if you raise it, the sides become more ..longer?? idk how to desrcibe it

[sinful cobalt]

i guess its more of a FOV Scale slider

[orchid prism]

Sounds like you're just expecting the same value to be the same on both, which definitely isn't the case.

[barren pewter]

yeah that’s called “placebo”, it’s a thing, search it up

[orchid prism]

I always set mine to the minimum cause ultrawide. Otherwise it becomes eagle vision.

Could be. I have no way to confirm that though.

no quake pro?

is joke

i have about the same aspect ratio

quake pro lets you see the world boarder from spawn
