🎮│game

[compact oriole]

Reminded me of resident evil where you're very slow as well

But the jp horror setting looked interesting

[fathom swift]

You know you're doing well as a support player if your tank is happy at the end of a game

[compact oriole]

That other game. Tokyo smth. Also looked really cool art style wise

But gameplay became lame very quickly

Game was fucking beautiful tho

Ghost wire Tokyo is what I meant

One of the first games I tried when I got my OLED screen.

Crazy how good the game looks maxed with path tracing

[lucid brook]

yeah it's great

also the city feels quite alive, you can walk around for hours without getting bored

[compact oriole]

Ye, I started the dlc finally, and when you walk through these closer designed points of interest.. they look even better

I was sneaking through a mission in awe of lighting and reflections lol

[bleak pike]

I like

I've never liked the look of cyberpunk tbh

Idk why...

[compact oriole]

[bleak pike]

It always felt a bit ugly to me, probably dlss idk

[compact oriole]

Dlss used to look insanely terrible

I remember when the game came out. All the ghosting, streets being over sharpened af

[lucid brook]

yeah dlss has come a long way, the new transformer model is a great

[mellow garden]

Yeah, I've been enjoying a bit of time just driving night city and the DLSS transformer model certainly has a lot less ghosting.

[compact oriole]

It's so good I usually choose quality over native CZ it's indistinguishable to me if I don't try to look for issues and it gives a huge fps boost

[mellow garden]

Just looks much cleaner overall.

[novel umbra]

ik why I didn't play that game with dlss

[bleak pike]

Idk if it's just dlss

[novel umbra]

tho I gotta say even original DLSS looks better than MFG

[bleak pike]

It just feels meh, idk

Like everything feels blurry but it's also not, models etc

Character models are kinda grainy

[compact oriole]

I've not had that issue. What I. Will say is that the game clearly works with very near draw distance for perf

[bleak pike]

I really don't know how to describe it haha

[lucid brook]

maybe you got something messed up in the gpu panel? looks perfectly sharp to my eye

[bleak pike]

I just never found it a pretty game.

[compact oriole]

You can see shit appear and disappear already only 20 meters or smith away

[novel umbra]

current DLSS looks alright at least

[bleak pike]

Except the scene with all the fish

[novel umbra]

on quality mode

[bleak pike]

That scene is wow

Well I still need to do the dlc so we'll see

I bought it at launch and never played it XD (the dlc)

[compact oriole]

Ye I bought it 2 years ago as well lol

[novel umbra]

wait dlc was 2 years ago?

[compact oriole]

I started a 2nd playthrough for it but never got to the dlc. Got bored after 40h in main game cuz I didn't like my build

[compact oriole]

I think it came out 2023

[novel umbra]

guh

[compact oriole]

[novel umbra]

how ass is the aws board game gonna be

[lucid brook]

i did full crit katana build on my first playthrough, now i'm doing full netrunner

[compact oriole]

Is this real?

[novel umbra]

the board game?

[compact oriole]

Ye

[novel umbra]

yes, mine got into delivery today

all the cards are aws products

0 clue how the game is played yet tho

[compact oriole]

Lol

[small comet]

you buy the card game

and then cry when it arrives

[compact oriole]

How much was it

[novel umbra]

[novel umbra]

14€, kinda expensive for what it comes with

[trim rock]

What is the winner the one who racks up the biggest bill?

[novel umbra]

considering the quality of game you can get at that price

[small comet]

i love that there is QR codes at the bottom of the card

HAHHAHAHA

they are just links to purchase the services

https://buildercards.aws/lambda

its a game with adverts

[lucid brook]

quite awesome

[novel umbra]

obv

I mean the entire game is an advert

but it was too funny of an object to not pick it up

[small comet]

id rather set the money on fire than buy that tbh

[compact oriole]

Lol

[novel umbra]

prove it

[compact oriole]

Send it to me. I'll set it on fire for you

[vital wyvern]

awful day to have eyes

[compact oriole]

Ran into a mirror?

[hot spire]

oddjob complex slappers

[compact oriole]

Is that a game title?

Smth James Bond related apparently

[hot spire]

the most infamous side character from one of top fps games of all time XD

also aloy's face is literally based on a real women, an actress even.

[compact oriole]

I never played the 2nd game and barely the first one

I just remember people said they made her look worse in the 2nd one

But the bigger issue seemed to be story not being as good in forbidden west

[hot spire]

the second game and the remaster they went from manual modeled after the actress likeness, to a literal 3d scan of her face.

so the second game and the remaster are a literal 1:1 of the actress likeness

the actress they hired to use her likeness, not the va

[hardy merlin]

20% off

[compact oriole]

Damn i feel bad for her if this is true

[hot spire]

the issue in fw is the issue with a lot of new games, they dont use the va likeness, then they use motion cap on the entire face and do a piss poor job at transforming the animation to the model

so it looks really fake and uncanny

[compact oriole]

I keep saying it. If you like the kinda combat it's actually such a good game

[hot spire]

"the woman you picked isnt womanly enough" is what they are saying XD

[compact oriole]

Well I think most people don't know. They just saw the mc looks worse

[mellow garden]

It's worth it at full price

[compact oriole]

And assumed woke reasons

[hardy merlin]

Zero Dawn render is cursed

[mellow garden]

Need the DLCs, of course.

[novel umbra]

you mean like how most games do it?

[compact oriole]

Nike dlc is worth it CZ if gives a great extra boss fight

Nikke

[novel umbra]

why does her face look so much squarer on the right

[compact oriole]

All other sb dlc are just skins

[hot spire]

in which image??

[compact oriole]

First image

[novel umbra]

top one

[hot spire]

it looks the same?

the lighting in the render is only from one direction, and the models face has multiple lights

so you can see her neck and under side of her jaw, you cant see that on the render

[novel umbra]

might be it idk

on the left her face looks a bit more oblong

meanwhile the right one looks like she has a bit leaner face with tighter skin etc

[hot spire]

so its siloetteing her jaw more

[hardy merlin]

I have GW2 expansion and Battlefield on this month's gaming budget

[compact oriole]

Guild wars 2 is still getting expansions?

[novel umbra]

They gotta make their money somehow

[outer pollen]

for a second I thought Garden Warfare

[compact oriole]

Also I'm sure it's gonna be on sale again with Black Friday and then again at xmas

[compact oriole]

I thought the game died a long time ago

[novel umbra]

Fairly active still afail

But idk i never played it

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, this year it'll be 6th one, and I wan to play on release

Pretty sure it has just a tiny bit less players than FFXIV at this point

Definitely more than ESO for sure

[sinful cobalt]

owo

[novel umbra]

FFXIV also lost players iirc

[small comet]

didnt some estimate less than 1mil active players for ffxiv? i saw some japanese post about some data crunching

[mellow garden]

There's a quarterly analysis of the active characters which just involves scrapping user data from publicly visible character profiles.

The timing can be weird as sometimes the report will be published during downtime in the patch cycle.

[hardy merlin]

I dunno
Game still active, still fun, nice players there, I liek

Plus I want that 4k gems

[sinful cobalt]

the heck is this design

steam wake up

[scarlet marlin]

[vital wyvern]

it looks good, what's wrong

[small comet]

its different

[sinful cobalt]

its just weird

[iron oak]

its different and now were going to revolt

[vital wyvern]

unironically this when anything changes ever

[sinful cobalt]

[compact oriole]

As long as steam stays based and they don't add ads Idk how it looks

Gaben is my god. The only thing I believe in is his resolve and backbone

[sinful cobalt]

thats why i never openned a knife in cs

[iron oak]

the water tastes different so now im angry and going to stage a revolution

[sinful cobalt]

[compact oriole]

I don't wanna imagine where PC gaming would be without Volvo and steam

[trim rock]

Probably games would be a lot more spread out across platforms and GFWL would not have died so fast

[hardy merlin]

yay Valve
killed GFWL

[compact oriole]

Gfwl?

[trim rock]

Games For Windows Live, one of the worst things inflicted upon PC gaming in the late 00s

They even wanted to charge for multiplayer at first

[small comet]

sadly they didnt make a solution for GFWL emulation

[compact oriole]

I remember gfwl

[vivid wharf]

lol bought all of these games recently

[hardy merlin]

[scarlet marlin]

my brain autocorrected it to glhf

[compact oriole]

I'm actually so excited for bf6

Just my friends aren't gonna get it so I gotta find other EU players to have fun with

[vivid wharf]

yeah, I liked the overall gameplay in this one, excited to play on the bigger map, or two

[compact oriole]

Ye felt really good

Splatoon would be a much better game with voice chat

Beta was fun asf

Bloom on lmgs was brutal but still dropped so many good games using them

[compact oriole]

i played with the m4a1 most of the time

mobile AR. thats kinda my jam

[grizzled quarry]

I ran sniper/lmg for 95% of the beta

Messed around with a hipfire smg build a little

[hardy merlin]

I liked M433 and NVO
I couldn't get used to M4

[maiden tulip]

There is vc

But it works with the old switch one way

[outer pollen]

[hardy merlin]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot

[outer pollen]

They’re all on the cartridge

[maiden tulip]

No

They're not

[maiden tulip]

Not for mgs master switch 1

Lol

[outer pollen]

They all won’t launch without cartridge

[maiden tulip]

yep

Thats the way it works

[outer pollen]

So gamekey card?

[maiden tulip]

Yes they were a thing on switch 1...

[outer pollen]

I don’t remember

[maiden tulip]

It's literally nothing new

They're a thing on ps5 too technically

[orchid prism]

You're literally just describing game discs.

We've had those since early 3D graphics.

[maiden tulip]

Now we're talking about games that require a download before you can play them because only minimal content is on the disk/cartridge

[orchid prism]

[maiden tulip]

oh

@outer pollen there

Here's how to identify if a game has tje contents on disk/cart

[hardy merlin]

On PC is easier
No disk/cart

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah but it's the ''you don't own it then''

[maiden tulip]

Digital only good

[hardy merlin]

Try to take GOG offline installers from me

[fading spade]

Why half the icon colorful outlines but the others are white outlines?

[outer pollen]

I might open the 2nd copy of Raidou I owned for the switch 2

[outer pollen]

Nintendo is stupid and hasn’t made themes for the switch

[fading spade]

-_-

[maiden tulip]

The fact that you bought 2 confuses me

Still

Also i saw raidou discounted digitally recently

literally just buy digital lol

[outer pollen]

no

[maiden tulip]

Its cheaper and your switch 2 physical copy is just a digital download that needs the game keycard in to play it

[outer pollen]

I didn’t know about game key cards

[mellow garden]

PAYDAY 2 is so, err, 2012

2013 even

I forgot when it released

[hardy merlin]

They could port it to PD3 engine and print more DLCs until death of universe and people would keep buying them
Instead they made corporation in a corporation in a studio where there's more managers at this point than developers and everyone is working only on 2 games

[pure bear]

i like how every japanese studio is just one crazy guy and then his army of coders

Yoshi-P with XIV and XVI

[hardy merlin]

Yoji Shinkawa is going basically everywhere with Kojima
But bless him, thank to him we have a beautiful games which work absolutely great
Stuff his team did to FOX Engine and to Decima is incredible

Photorealistic graphics without raytracing with 1080p60 on iGPU back in 2015

[mellow garden]

Decima engine is top tier

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, because Kojima's engineers ran to Decima dev team shortly after MGSV release

On one hand I'm sad that FOX Engine is dead because it's a masterful piece of tech, and stuff it can pull off leaves UE way back behind
On the other I'm happy it died, because development for it was horrible, as expected of Japanese devs
Modding MSGV included injecting lua files during game loading at the beginning, before we got access to archive lua chain-loading

And the amount of hardcoded stuff would make anyone working on pre-NT Windows kernels blush

[pure bear]

isnt file injection a common way to load mods

arent many mods dll injections

[orchid prism]

Mhmm

[trim rock]

Microsoft Flight Simulator on PS5, man PlayStation really is an Xbox too

[hardy merlin]

Sure, but .dll injection via dinput is common and widely-used
Here you had to run a specific script which would freeze the game at the specific moment, inject lua files and resume it
Freezing method was found out by accident, when 3DM released their first and at the time only crack for MGSV, game would freeze when you didn't had your timezone set to China, and people figured out you can inject lua then

[vivid wharf]

I just hopped on sony state of play and im seeing microsoft flight sim on playstation

[small comet]

i mean unreal engine loads extra pack files if they are named right without question

[pure bear]

ig it reminds me of CFW on consoles. I can still hear the sound my 2000 psp made when the TCFW loaded by cutting the power to inject

[trim rock]

Yeah doesn't UE just load pak files in a directory called mods or something

[small comet]

any pak file even if not in a mods folder

usually youd make a mods folder so you know whats mods and what isnt

[trim rock]

Ah

[small comet]

and a lot of other games dont need DLL injection either. they often just load d3d dlls for example if they are present (even if unused)

some phone can run switch game, so I can imagine something 50% like that would be able to run this with maybe something that looks like 3ds MH

Driving on the wrong side of the road again

[small comet]

FUUUUUU

why

i didnt even get horizons 4 or 5 because i wanted to stop giving them money

why now a theme i like

[hardy merlin]

weeb

[small comet]

i mean id also take a horizons in russia

brutalist architecture while super cars drive around everywhere

[hardy merlin]

If it's Japan there must be touge races now
Downhill in FH4 on mountain in Fortune Island DLC was peak

[small comet]

if theres no AE86 ill be sad

and i hope they license some eurobeat

[hardy merlin]

I have exactly 0 hopes when it comes to soundtrack
But Toyota likes Forza, so I guess we can expect 86 in there

[novel umbra]

Possibly

the ae86es are also quite prominent in txr hint hint

[pulsar prism]

Hasn't it been in like every single horizon game

Well at least from 3 onwards

[small comet]

doesnt mean it wont be removed in 6

and yes its been in all horizon titles and i think even normal motorsport

[pulsar prism]

What if they remove it and make it a paid dlc

[small comet]

see

[pulsar prism]

[small comet]

now you start thinking bad

[small comet]

if only more places had interesting architecture like japan

[vital wyvern]

more places do tbh

japan is the only one who made it an export, somehow, in the western world

[small comet]

idk the only country i could think of is china

[vital wyvern]

that's a start

[scarlet marlin]

peoople be sleeping on Korea (besides the koreaboos) and south-east asia

[small comet]

other than that i feel like a lot of countries just have architectural styles close to what i know as a european

and no paper walls arent an architectural style (looking at the US)

[hardy merlin]

Southeast Asia

[vital wyvern]

there's plenty interesting historical things in SE asia and latin america

modern cities just look identical wherever you go, more or less

[small comet]

oh right latin america. ure right theres some really nice aztec ruins id love to visit

[vital wyvern]

cities in general turbo boring in terms of vaycay/visiting

[small comet]

yes

[vital wyvern]

gotta be the historical stuff and I feel like lotsa people sleeping on pre-columbian mesoamerica for that

[small comet]

tbh most ive seen of SEA is just similar to what ive seen in europe but maybe ive just not seen the right corners

[hardy merlin]

US and historical stuff do not mix
We are talking about #1 country who does does cultural appropriation poorly and then scoffs at anyone who does it better hiding behind virtue signalling

[vital wyvern]

how you pull US into this

[outer pollen]

We cool like that

[small comet]

maybe cals is secretly american and doesnt know what mesoamerica is

[novel umbra]

Japan is worse, they just ignore everything from ww2 and earlier up to middle ages equivalent

[hardy merlin]

FH devs are from US
And we saw their accuracy when it comes to Mexico in FH5

[novel umbra]

They basically wiped the slate from the late edonperiod up until end of ww2 clean

[small comet]

no warcrimes or crimes against humanity have been committed by japan ever for real trust me bro

Is Germany like that?

Twice world war has been started by Austrians and lost by Germans

[small comet]

germany is the opposite when it comes to world wars and especially ww2

[compact oriole]

Nah bruh Germany lives with eternal guilt and they make sure to instill that in everyone. I'm not German but seeing it seems pathetic

[small comet]

like history classes in schoolyears 8,9 and 10 basically talk a lot about ww2

[compact oriole]

Also everyone who lives here pays mandatory 18 bucks a month for German state tv propaganda cuz of WW2

Doesn't matter if you even own a tv or radio

[orchid prism]

At least you get a choice 😛

[small comet]

except that this wasnt because of ww2

[compact oriole]

Iirc it was CZ if Nazism, Hitler and a "Lehrauftrag" so it doesn't happen again

[small comet]

no

[compact oriole]

In what

[small comet]

you had to pay to be allowed to receive radio before hitler even came to germany

actually no he was already in germany i think but hadnt gottent any power yet

that was still almost 10years out

[compact oriole]

May have been the origin. Id have to research it, but IDC enough. It matters I'm signed up for life for shit that's worthless and I don't use

[small comet]

id personally also argue german tv channels belonging to the ARD/ZDF stuff are far less political than most state financed tv channels

[small comet]

thats a valid criticism and doesnt need any extra arguments trying to tie it to the nazis

i also still wonder who in gods name reported theyd pay GEZ even if it isnt mandatory in that 2020 study they did where like 60% said they would

like you wouldnt

[compact oriole]

I don't have a comparison. I called it propaganda cuz the higher ups are all part of political parties. Mostly SPD CDU

So it stands to reason they will use that influence

Which they definitely did

[small comet]

having seen TV in the states, UK and now netherlands id say german tv is quite neutral

[compact oriole]

Does us have state tv?

I know their news are very left or right biased depending on which it is. But those are all privately owned

[small comet]

they arent run by the government but government supported

[orchid prism]

Of paying.

[compact oriole]

We don't tho. You're signed up at birth

[outer pollen]

Wrong link
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fire-emblem-shadows/id6746113513

Among us??

[compact oriole]

You could be living in the forest without electricity. They're literally still gonna find you and have you pay

Worst case, jail

[small comet]

either way i feel like germany will change how it works in the future

i dont know how near this future is

but they will have to change

[novel umbra]

It's important to learn from past mistakes and missteps

Learning from errors is the only way to improve, that doesn't just go for individuals

[small comet]

crap right i wanted to respond to that still as well: its not pathetic, its trying to not have the same shit happen in the future

[orchid prism]

So it's just Taxes. That's normal.

[small comet]

its specifically not taxes

it specifically doesnt land in the countries pocket but a pocket just for state tv

[compact oriole]

No I get that. It shouldn't happen again. What I was referring to as being pathetic is the.. we are all still guilty mindset. When non of use were alive

[orchid prism]

If you're forced to pay it, it's a tax. Call it whatever you want, if that makes you happy.

[small comet]

i havent really been taught im guilty of ww2 but i also only went to the schools i went to

[compact oriole]

It should obv not happen again. It's just this weird complex they're living with I'm not liking

[small comet]

not all in germany

[small comet]

so its also tax when i eat at a restaurant?

see this kinda definition just aint good my guy

[orchid prism]

You're not forced by law to pay for a restaurant.

[small comet]

yes you are

[compact oriole]

You are

[small comet]

its theft otherwise

[orchid prism]

You can simply choose not to go there.

[compact oriole]

It's illegal to steal

[small comet]

you literally can go to jail

[compact oriole]

It is basically a tax but it's specifically not a tax allegedly

[small comet]

and you can not pay the tv/radio fees as well in germany

if you dont have a home

you still pay taxes then (even if technically you get money from the gov)

[orchid prism]

See that part wasn't specified earlier 😛

[small comet]

also you still pay GEZ even if you have tax excemptions

[orchid prism]

But I'll die on the hill that in a normal living situation you're forced to pay - so it's a tax.

With caveats, but a tax.

[small comet]

i guess health insurance in germany is also taxes then

since health insurance is mandatory

[vital wyvern]

it's not taxes if it's not called taxes, but then again if the only thing separating it from taxes is nomenclature, argument is kinda weak I'll admit

[small comet]

its not nomenclature

its the simple fact it doesnt go to the government

[vital wyvern]

who does it go to

[small comet]

a separate entity just running the tv channels

[vital wyvern]

which is owned by the government, yes?

[orchid prism]

Neither do my Church tithe, but that doesn't change the fact that it's enforced as long as I'm a member of the Church 😄

[small comet]

uh no

[scarlet marlin]

[vital wyvern]

your state tv/radio is not owned by the state?

[scarlet marlin]

no

not owned

they fund it (some of it)

[vital wyvern]

then how is it state radio

[scarlet marlin]

the state cant tell what to be aired etc.

[vital wyvern]

neither do they here

but it's state-owned media regardless

[orchid prism]

Danish state TV/Radio is funded by state, but is not state owned as such.
We still pay a general media tax that goes to them, as well as museums and such.

[small comet]

a lot of complex legal work to decouple it as much as possible

[scarlet marlin]

not how it works here

[small comet]

they are technically owned by the people

not the state

[orchid prism]

We used to have a system ala. the UK where you had to opt in, and they'd try their best to catch you using a TV/Radio.

[small comet]

german state run TV is prob one of the most complex ways to run TV/Radio/Internet Websites

[orchid prism]

So like everything else German.

[small comet]

basically

[scarlet marlin]

but we follow the rules

cause we like ordentlichkeit

[vital wyvern]

regardless my opinion is still the same, if it's state-owned/backed and you have to pay automatically, it's not really any different from a tax whatever it may be called

a tax is just a fee imposed on its citizens by the state

[compact oriole]

Well it's not state owned technically but run by political parties

[small comet]

technically its not imposed on citizens anymore

but households

[vital wyvern]

so can you not pay it and tell the court your house should pay it?

[small comet]

i didnt say houses i said households

as in a varying amount of citizens living together

[vital wyvern]

does not change my view at all and I don't consider that to be meaningful here

[orchid prism]

Technically here as well, but only if you're partners (or a family with kids etc)

If you're roomies, everyone pays it separately.

So uh... Back when it was UK like, you'd have a lot of women register as partners just to save money. Apparently most men would rather pay than be labeled gay.

[vital wyvern]

here we call the same thing "yleisradiovero" (general radio tax) and you pay it if you're a human living in finland

we used to have a tv license before that but they just made it mandatory for everyone at some point

[orchid prism]

Those pesky tax evading Moose.

[small comet]

anyway basically 1 person living in a house hold just has to pay and everyone else doesnt. in germania

they changed it after backlash because before everyone over 18 had to pay it

[vital wyvern]

here apparently it's 2.5% for anything over 14000€ income yearly, but not more than 163€ at any rate

[small comet]

its 18eur in germany / month

[vital wyvern]

yearly?

[compact oriole]

Monthly

[small comet]

sorry for not specifying

my bad on that one

[vital wyvern]

okay

[compact oriole]

And if you thought Netflix has nothing worthwhile,you've not seen anything

[small comet]

yeah most of the people watching state TV or stuff produced there of are older folk

[compact oriole]

They used to not run ads cuz it's paid for by germans.that changed too

[small comet]

so the incentive for the TV/Radio Stations that are part of this is basically not given to make it optional

[orchid prism]

As much as I loathe paying for it, I can't say they aren't trying their best to produce high quality content for all ages and types.

There's news, documentaries, actual TV series as well as a lot of the daytime stuff you see elsewhere - and kids stuff of course.

[small comet]

i saw some good attempts in recent times for german TV to try and improve (on the state run side) but they usually axed the stuff pretty quick

most likely because young people dont trust them and thus dont even try to watch them

also i noticed this is #🎮│game ral not #💬│general

[orchid prism]

[compact oriole]

theyre making billions on us paying for that crap and they barely produce new shit

you watch these channels and its mostly syndication of giga old crap

they pay out most of the money to themselves. theyre literally making millinos a year in the "board of directors" and i dont wanna know how much the rest makes

but ye.. enough of raging about shit we cant change

forza horizon 6 in japan

[scarlet marlin]

what started the whole discussion, nice 360 Larry

[compact oriole]

[grizzled quarry]

Lets go, they did what everyone wanted.. over 5 years later.....

[compact oriole]

what do you mean hermano?

[outer pollen]

Goated game

[grizzled quarry]

People have been praying for a forza horizon in Japan since fh3 released

[grizzled quarry]

And they gave us 2 mid ass maps for 4 and 5 instead

[hardy merlin]

If I can take my Volkswagen Golf Mk II in purple with Highschool DxD's Akeno Himejima itasha for a spin in touge race downhill with V12 modded in they can take my money
I could do the exact same thing in FH4 after all

4 was good
5 sucked ass, half of the map empty, other half jungle

[grizzled quarry]

4 was meh

5 was ass

[hardy merlin]

The only thing about 4's map was tree hitting simulator

[mellow garden]

I liked 4 but I wish it were London, not t' norf.

[compact oriole]

ye, me included

idk if ill buy it. ill prolly get a month of gamepass

[grizzled quarry]

The only thing I really liked about 4 was snow drifting and finally adding some nicer body kits

[mellow garden]

I can fuck with FH6 in Japan

Day one acquisition for my Steam library

[grizzled quarry]

Otherwise the game was a let down for me, played more fh3 than fh4 even after it released

[grizzled quarry]

If its on gamepass ill play it

Ive kinda outgrown forza horizon now, the physics just aren't it for me anymore

Would much rather play beamng drive or assetto corsa

Or just, go drive irl

[compact oriole]

its an ms game. itll be there day one

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah ill install it then

[cyan pewter]

4 was good just becasue it was during covid

and that intro song was just

@pure bear you know what could save MTG? If they introduce the Ante thing from YuGiOh, where if you lose you have to give a rare card from your deck to the winner

[outer pollen]

They already did because of Final Fantasy

Collector Booster boxes were going for like 1,200$

[maiden tulip]

There's this dumbass on youtube who's trying to tell people

That NOW is a better time for pokemon

Because scarcity makes the cards rare and worth more and that we should be happy to pay double msrp

Vintage Story.

[fallow bronze]

Ah right.

[orchid prism]

Don't need cthulhu monsters - Moose and Bears will wreck your shit in a single hit or two, when you're just starting off 😄

And that first bear kill unlocks initial armour, if metallurgy hasn't been reached.

[fallow bronze]

I tried skipping that one

And go for proper leather armor

So.. Much.. Flax

[orchid prism]

No flax up here in the North.

I'll either have to build a proper, reinforced cave underground and do some cave mushroom style flax (when I find some or buy), or head south for... hours.

While not quite north pole snowball, I'm right between the tundra and that, meaning almost no vegetation and it's always too cold for most plants (barring any I've forced in via mods. Scandinavia/Russia is not a barren hellscape, just because the temperature dips below zero 😄 )

[fallow bronze]

You need flax for everything

[devout crescent]

Ordered an Artisan FX Zero in Daidai Orange from their official site the other day.

About to become 3% better at aiming for 40 Euros. But ey anything to make me blame myself for failing at aiming is somehow a step in the right direction.

[cyan pewter]

youre gonna start 180'ing into the flashes

[orchid prism]

Mhmm. I'll have to build a sled and move south - or hope I get lucky with some vessels.

Would LOVE to find a hot spring, but the mods I have that change map generation seem to not like them. Which is a shame.

Boy do I regret adding caveins for soil blocks. Might disable it early on, so I don't HAVE to find a cave just to do basic pottery 😄

[outer pollen]

I want borderlands 4 on switch physical

[maiden tulip]

Game got delayed indefinitely

Good luck

Also it was a game key card

[outer pollen]

[small comet]

highly doubt that would happen

i think the biggest card is 64gb storage

[mellow garden]

They’re also slower than the internal storage

Physical on Switch 2 is dead outside of anything Nintendo handle themselves

[maiden tulip]

It was already kinda dead on switch 1

So many games like doom just don't work unless you download the rest of the game

[maiden tulip]

Tbh the assets will be smaller

And bl4 is i believe around 60gb

[small comet]

the compressed download alone is 67gb on pc

[mellow garden]

Game key cards only exist because of the “grandparent problem”. They want to give a “real” gift so an empty disc/cartridge is the cheapest way to enable it.

[maiden tulip]

Talking about bl4 there have been like 2 patches that released this week

[mellow garden]

I’m sure most publishers would’ve gone digital only already.

[maiden tulip]

Wonder if they work

[small comet]

ill prob test around q1 2026

[maiden tulip]

It's better than a code in a box i'll say

[small comet]

just so they really have time to iron it out

[maiden tulip]

I wonder if i'll get banned for loading fsr4 with optiscaler

Bl3 was mod friendly

So was 2 so...

• there's no anticheat

[small comet]

i dont get why they added anti cheat

wasnt there ac?

[mellow garden]

Marginally better as you can transfer it but it’s otherwise tied to a server that will eventually go offline.

[small comet]

i thought i heard it has ac

[maiden tulip]

I didn't think there was

I know they have drm protection

[small comet]

oh no

[maiden tulip]

But no ac i think?

[small comet]

sorry i got it wrong

there was some drm stuff yeah

[maiden tulip]

lso yeah i should be safe to load the leaked fsr4 for 7000 series

Been using it in... basically everything

It looks so good

[outer pollen]

I’ve always wanted to know why dogshit players play ranked

Like what are you doing bringing everyone else down with you

[maiden tulip]

Far4 Balanced gives me the same fps as fsr3 quality but looks so much better

[small comet]

Symbiote is an internal code name for our proprietary anti-tamper tech used to prevent exploits, including store platform spoofing.

[maiden tulip]

:D

[small comet]

that was the DRM they accidentally listed

[maiden tulip]

Ok so its drm not AC

So i'm good

[small comet]

well its not really drm i think

honestly dont know if prevention of MTX spoofing is DRM

[maiden tulip]

I mean it doesn't touch any of the store files or whatever

[small comet]

ye

also i cant alt tab anymore for some reason

[maiden tulip]

In any game or?

[small comet]

nvm replugging fixed it

na just couldnt alt tab at all

[maiden tulip]

Oh lol

Also dying light the beast i've been playing that with fsr4

Its nice being able to conpare fp8 and int8

Cuz i have nico's pc next to me

The differences are there but it's honestly not that much

Wonder how the final release will look

Or when we'll get it

[placid grail]

Does splatoon not have matchmaking at all or are you also in 8 year old low?

[mellow garden]

Some of the random players in Fall Guys certainly are amusing to spectate. How can one be so bad at a basic game?

[sage ingot]

8yr old pisslo splatoon is rather incredible

[outer pollen]

I’m trying to decipher what you’re asking here

[placid grail]

Does the game not match you with people in the same rank as you or are you in pisslow with the 8 year olds?

[outer pollen]

Yeah I unlocked ranked yesterday since you have to get to level 10 first

And then start from bottom rank

[placid grail]

Understandable

Just paint better

[outer pollen]

Bro with the weakest bait ever

[sage ingot]

lock in and get to painting lil bro 🗣️ 🔥

that splatoon ranked gm isn't gonna grind itself

[placid grail]

go show those kids who’s boss!!!

[outer pollen]

Genuinely if you think it’s just kids then idk what to tell you

[outer pollen]

They should have kept the same ranking as splatoon 1 honestly where you do derank

[placid grail]

I’m having trouble imagining what other demographic would be so bad at splatoon ranked that you’re this mad about it

[outer pollen]

So ranked has different game modes than quick play. Some of these people don’t read and assume you just gotta keep painting the floor to win.

[sage ingot]

Wait, you gotta READ to win in that game?

ngl thats kinda hard, but im sure u got this if u try 🔥

[placid grail]

you got it big dog just lock in and spray that paint

[outer pollen]

New gungrave game

[compact oriole]

cant tell if this is good or bad

[fading spade]

Do I??????

[vivid wharf]

gg they’re gonna add nicki minaj skins to cover the costs of this

[hot spire]

pprivate has a way better chance of getting better than public

Saudis arent hurting for money

[verbal nymph]

from that perspective, it would seem like the best move they can do is to just make them keep doing what they usually do so that they aren't hated.

[hot spire]

all the dlc and skin shit is from being public

line has to go up or stockholders fire you

[private company's have zero obligation to make a profit

you can run it into the ground no issue

[vapid lintel]

New train line under construction, opening up a new biome for exploitation.
In the distant background you can see the tower bringing uranium down to the nuclear powerplant.

[cyan pewter]

We got valorant rock paper scissors, Americas beats EMEA, EMEA beats APAC, APAC beats Americas

[hardy merlin]

EMEA and APAC being some new terrorist organizations?

[outer pollen]

Did you get to play AceForce 2 on mobile back when the beta happened?

https://youtu.be/NGKCd6Yf1UE?

[cyan pewter]

hell is this

ive never heard of it

[outer pollen]

Valorant for mobile basically with cool characters

[cyan pewter]

ah yes another valorant copy

[outer pollen]

The music and characters were really cool, sadly it’s been like a year since the beta happened and the company has been like dead silent on their discord

[cyan pewter]

eos after a beta is crazy

[outer pollen]

Someone in the discord said “I wouldn’t be surprised if this was just a test to see if Valorant on mobile would be popular”

[cyan pewter]

val was pretty popular when it came to console but now i dont see much about it

[rough stump]

wasnt banned

[cyan pewter]

id imagine that itd be the same for val mobile

tac fps doesnt work on anything outside of pc

[cyan pewter]

theres another pc/console game that came to mobile (apex) but it ultimately failed and (iirc) closed mobile servers in under a year

[outer pollen]

The thing that killed aceforce 2 during the beta was the long rounds

People would leave mid match

wtf is battle cats

[rough stump]

bad game ngl

[outer pollen]

Awww

[rough stump]

it was gacha cat fighting

[outer pollen]

Wow! Super cool

[cyan pewter]

1: its gacha
2: involves cat
so perfect for @outer pollen

[rough stump]

😭

[outer pollen]

Let's see what all this feminism is about

[little cape]

[outer pollen]

Im glad they kept using Akira Yamaoka for the music I can tell without needing to look it up

[outer pollen]

Bro I came into this game expecting Homecoming combat and I was not expecting this lame ass shit

[sinful cobalt]

[outer pollen]

[little cape]
