Hi

[mellow garden]

But otherwise it looks great with Dolby Vision HDR. Good Atmos track as well.

[compact oriole]

well its giga old, but is the story/cinematography worth it

[mellow garden]

One of my all time favourite movie trilogies

[compact oriole]

so 2 and 3 are worth it as well?

[outer pollen]

Hopefully Hytale gets a founders edition @sinful cobalt

[small comet]

yes but you can only get it on the nvidia website and bots will buy it out before you ever can

[iron oak]

Huh, are they using the new engine that was developed or just using Java again

[mellow garden]

Yes

[small comet]

the old legacy c#/java one

as per the news post

the new engine is still 2-3 years out to the state the old one was in

[iron oak]

that’s ridiculous

They turned the game into a money pit by making a new engine wtf

[small comet]

the goal was make it crossplatform not just pc

but simon said they will work on crossplatform once the game on pc works

since the old engine was in a playable state we get early access date sometime in the next few days as well as prices for tiers/editions

also what the https://store.steampowered.com/app/3564740/Where_Winds_Meet/

Where Winds Meet

Where Winds Meet is an epic open-world action-adventure RPG rooted in the rich legacy of Wuxia. Set during the turbulent era of tenth-century China, you take on the role of a young sword master, uncovering forgotten truths and the mysteries of your own identity.

[iron oak]

Is the goal to try and finish the newer engine while getting a game out into the public?

[small comet]

they said they wont use the new one

so i assume theyll make the old one work crossplatform

[outer pollen]

apparently it's really fun

[small comet]

it looks good despite being a netease game

[outer pollen]

Imagine lol

[small comet]

so

[maiden tulip]

[small comet]

dashi as always late

[mellow garden]

Now for someone else to be lazy tomorrow

[small comet]

actually if you guys post a bit more its out of view again

so maybe we dont have to wait for tomorrow

[maiden tulip]

Game's not gonna release anyways lol

[small comet]

eh

im willing to believe it

what simon said makes sense as a believable thing of why it still hasnt released

[maiden tulip]

it's a game that's been in dev hell for ages and i think its meaningless

[little cape]

its good

[maiden tulip]

The best you may get is early access slop that never gets finished

[small comet]

they said everything shown in the trailer works already

so

doesnt sound like slop to me

just like riot is dumb and made a shit decision on remaking the entire engine

[maiden tulip]

never gonna get finished

Doesn't matter

[small comet]

ok gonna pin this in my notes to get back to you on that when it releases

[maiden tulip]

literally this is steam early access trash 101

shit's gonna stay in early access for ages or release in like 5 years

[small comet]

yes i also invest millions upon millions indev and then another millions upon millions to buy smth back just to not ever finish it

[maiden tulip]

They literally will just make their money from the hype and the EA and then pack

[small comet]

hm like minecraft did

when i bought the beta

[maiden tulip]

Give a minimum quality product

[small comet]

and thought it never releases

if what simon said about the trailer stuff being doable in their current old engine build im fine with paying 20-30bucks for ea

no problems

[sinful cobalt]

and it became one of the most sold game

[small comet]

that thing will be modded out its butt like mc was

[sinful cobalt]

and even Simon said we need to keep our expectations low for now

[small comet]

yes

i dont think anyone expects it to come out tomorrow with v1.0

also isnt vintagestory also technically early access

given its not v1+

also cant be worse than tarkov

can it

[sinful cobalt]

Its not like the Hytale community excepts a fully functional and well optimized game after a day or two

[outer pollen]

[small comet]

is that dna

[outer pollen]

yeh!

It's really good so far if you enjoy the Warframe game loop

[small comet]

wait

i can slide jump in the game

[outer pollen]

yup!

and bullet jump to abuse the momentum for movement tech

[small comet]

hmmm

tempting

especially cause im in the target demographic of man with money

[outer pollen]

So the only gacha aspect is for cosmetics on this game

[small comet]

that didnt stop me in infinity nikki either

[outer pollen]

Every unit is obtainable in game

without needing to spend munnies

[small comet]

it just means the cosmetics will be so banger i wanna spend money to get em

[outer pollen]

Yellow is base skin and Blue is premium one

[small comet]

yeah so my wallet would be constantly empty

[outer pollen]

You can also recolor the outfits and weapons

[nimble current]

but why

[outer pollen]

why what?

[trim rock]

Why not

[cold anvil]

Is this a gacha game

[small comet]

cosmetics gacha yes

[brave patio]

hi, can you help me pls?

come dm pls i very need help

[outer pollen]

Imagine warframe where you farm the parts and materials to craft the unit

[small comet]

if you need help with a keyboard you can try #1019755933959733258 but its not official wooting support just commuity members trying to help. if you need help from us in an official capacity you need to open a ticket at https://support.wooting.io

and we dont do dm support at all

[outer pollen]

Nothing is locked behind a paywall besides cosmetics, but you can buy units like in warframe to speed up the process, but you're looking at 50$ a pop per unit

which is around the same for Prime Access on warframe

[brave patio]

Dude, I swear I have a bug that doesn't exist, I've looked everywhere

where i can open a ticket in the site @small comet

[cold anvil]

Idk if thats better or worse but i understand

[small comet]

anywhere you just click through what your issue is in a general sense

and if you cant find it theres a button for that too

[outer pollen]

It's the same as warframe so can be a bit time consuming depending on your luck

[bleak pike]

no regrets

and I never really pvp

[mellow garden]

I used about 8 Pokémon in the entire game

Excluding the side quests that require specific Pokémon

[scarlet marlin]

yeah I usually stick with a core team as well

but I just got done with that first scripted rank up match with the taxi guy

[mellow garden]

It’s a fun game, I hope you enjoy it.

[scarlet marlin]

im sure I will

last game I played was arceus and I really like it

hope the customization is fun again, some DS games really popped off with that

[mellow garden]

It was the first Pokémon that I ended up completing. Played roughly half of Let’s Go Pikachu and a bit of some gen 1 games when I was a wee lad.

[mellow garden]

Trying to vote in The Game Awards™ but the servers keep dying. Please, buy some servers.

[small comet]

so "Where Winds Meet" is definitely a game if ive ever seen one

[scarlet marlin]

did you try the character creation based on your voice?

[small comet]

lol no i dont wanna play as an ugly neet

[scarlet marlin]

naaaaaaaah dont say that

just to try and see what it poops out

[small comet]

i already made my char and all that. idk how to change it later if even possible

[scarlet marlin]

[small comet]

im not god gamer enough for the fighting system in the game

its basically darksouls but in china openworld

[scarlet marlin]

[small comet]

oh english VA is not bad bad but kinda bad. you cant tell when something is a though or actually spoken and sometimes it just sounds like they had someone record on a phone and the other person in a studio

visually a very nice game though especially the fact you can choose difficulty, how much the minimap shows/helps, if you wanna solo or with online people and such

oh and character names are ofc globally unique so you get to run around as your online nickname and not a normal name cause they are mostlikely all taken already

[scarlet marlin]

yeah I wouldve probs chosen the Chinese VA. dont know if I wanna commit to a game like that atm, but keeping my eye on it

[small comet]

im definitely not gonna keep playing but thats mainly cause well as i said im not god gamer enough for the fighting system

nice game otherwise

[scarlet marlin]

dont worry i will take over for the both of us

[small comet]

time to try duet night abyss

great it does the mobile game thing where you install it and then it still has to download updates after it launched

[vapid lintel]

Free to play is a good price, I might check it out

[hardy merlin]

You pay with 100gb of disk space

[hot spire]

Enshrouded is 40GB and its the best openworld game in a long time.

[narrow junco]

terraria is smaller so its better

[hot spire]

yeah buy terraria is linear XD

also coming up on 15 years old

[narrow junco]

ok?

[hardy merlin]

Played a but of Enshrouded and I'd say that I prefer Valheim way more

[narrow junco]

if smaller size = better game then its better than enshrouded

[orchid prism]

Open world games tend to be smaller.

VO. Cutscene video takes up a lot. As for high quality textures for plot characters

[hot spire]

Where the winds meet is a openworld game though XD

[hot spire]

ew Glider > Boats

[orchid prism]

Oh

Ac open or mc open?

[hot spire]

ac

[orchid prism]

Cause one is not

Yeah my point exactly. Still a curated world.

[hot spire]

i mean ES is curated world

[orchid prism]

Ehhhh

[hot spire]

but its also voxel

[hot spire]

the world is fixed, enemies, quests, and resources are static

only thing random is loot

[cyan pewter]

@outer pollen

[orchid prism]

Let me rephrase. There's sandbox open world games with a lot less polish and attention to detail everywhere, which means less space. And then there's the ones like AC where artists went through everywhere to ensure it has a certain level, nothing is destructable so they retain control.

More unique assets, more textures.

[small comet]

ok so duet night abyss got me hooked although i got one major complaint which is the camera is WAY WAY too close to the characters on anything beyond 16:9

[trim rock]

What you don't like getting up close to the waifus?

[small comet]

is this a good pull though

also im getting blasted with tons of free crap currently its kinda overwhelming

[scarlet marlin]

yes the overstimulation gen z tactic to keep you playing

she;s cute, looks like a good pull to me

[small comet]

so i just wanted to ignore getting all the free stuff cause i spent like 5-10minutes just clicking through stuff

so i continued the story.... get free stuff anyway

[novel umbra]

I wonder if progress transfers to it

[cold anvil]

Ive been seeing a lot of clips of this game lately, i downloaded it but I haven’t played much

[vapid lintel]

No idea, haven't launched it

Probably won't until this weekend

[sinful cobalt]

👀

[small comet]

dumb it here

ok

[sinful cobalt]

Simon is truly comited to releasing Hytale to the public even in bad state

[vapid lintel]

Apparently CoD 7 is performing worse than even Dragon Age Vanguard

Dragon Age Veilguard*

[nimble current]

am lowkey a little proud of the call of dumbass playerbase

[vapid lintel]

They grow up so fast 🥺

[nimble current]

but also worried they'll start spilling over to better games that doesn't serve their brand of slop

[orchid prism]

When the software team dumbs a new update on friday

[pure bear]

hey as long as they are honest about it why not

"this is a broken POS buy at own risk" is fair

[cyan pewter]

people learned where the refund button was

blatant-ai ops 7

[iron oak]

Interesting take, I mean waiting 3 months would be fine if it made it a bit better.

[sinful cobalt]

it needs more than 3 months to be even better

but Simon wants the help of the community as well

[nimble current]

yeah and now they are in our helldivers and arc raiders queues

you could be playing against a cod player at any given time and you'll only have some behavioral clues to go on

truly scary times

[novel umbra]

I mean I trust them with trying to fix it post-release

they probably could not afford to fix it pre-launch out of their own pocket

[outer pollen]

I recommend it on PC Tony the mobile version is still a bit rough imo

[small comet]

im playing on pc

[little cape]

its good game

🙂‍↕️

[small comet]

when i said "it does the mobile game thing" i meant it still acts like a mobile game and updates on game launch not before i click launch

[outer pollen]

Ohhhh lol sorry

I just woke up from my 7 hour nap

[small comet]

thats called sleeping

[hollow zephyr]

ngl, if bro really wanted to release it just release it as a playtest.

[compact oriole]

getting 2nd chances is REALLY hard. releasing it in a shit state could sabotage the game longterm. they better dont rush it

[hollow zephyr]

hence why just release it in the form of playtest weekends

kinda like what Arc Raiders did

like, that game was supposed to initially release in 2022, but then after playtesting they realized that they needed to change the direction of the game

[compact oriole]

ye but arc raiders wasnt in a bad state. playtest weekends are PR most of all

[hollow zephyr]

nooo, like wayyy before they did public playtesting

like 2021-2022 era

whats that even mean? some idiot just put a prompt into chatgpt?

[oblique dew]

is there someone playing bo7 via steam? i have a question

[compact oriole]

ask away

[proper basin]

Best settings bo7

[hardy merlin]

No, you don't need any reason to refund if you have less than 2 hours in it, they'll do it automatically

[oblique dew]

naa is the startup of the game as shitty like in blizzard?

[compact oriole]

i found a screenshot of the best bo7 settings

[oblique dew]

where an exe starts ....u chose the cod and then it restarts the whole new exe?

[compact oriole]

as in having to open 3 different games that ask for a fucking udpate after you opened them? yes its the same

[trim rock]

Update requires restart

[oblique dew]

so u have it on steam?

[compact oriole]

i dont have it at all but i played the "beta" and it was the same there

[oblique dew]

not only update...everytime u start COD and chose the one after the exe launched...it closes the exe and starts another one...thats so annoying

[compact oriole]

its the same game no matter which launcher. im still sure the reason they do that is to fake player numbers by putting together all current cod games

[oblique dew]

u think on windows store its the same?

[compact oriole]

ye

[trim rock]

It's the CoD HQ idea, all in one hub for all your modern CoDs and you can freely swap between them whenever you want aaaand it works so awfully, they should just drop that idea

[oblique dew]

i cant believe that...but i guess there is no refund option like on steam

[compact oriole]

game pass

[oblique dew]

yea exactly

[oblique dew]

nice one!! yea ill try that

[trim rock]

If switching between the games only took a couple seconds it would be fine whatever, but that shit takes forever to launch

[sinful cobalt]

welcome to cod HQ

[oblique dew]

and the worst part is when u have to update it and start it like 3 times this way

[proper basin]

The true way is to just play kingdom hearts

[compact oriole]

i dont like cod for the most part anyway but i tried bo7 beta and that shit felt like a china knock off of its own franchise. similar like bf2042 did to me

[oblique dew]

i know the beta was shit, but the final game is different, played it at my friends home today

felt like the good old COD

[compact oriole]

its the same game.. the "beta" 2 weeks ahead of release is just an ad

[sinful cobalt]

that 3 match i played in the beta with cheaters was soo fun

[compact oriole]

but either way. if you think youll like it go for it

[proper basin]

Just cheat harder

[trim rock]

Cheaters vs cheaters

[sinful cobalt]

tbh after the shitshow of BO 6 nah cod should switch to releases any 2nd year

or just go full F2P

[nimble current]

time for a WW2 theme re-run

[sinful cobalt]

they should just stop making games xd

[compact oriole]

when are they doing another rerun of mw series

[sinful cobalt]

or just remaster Black Ops 1

[proper basin]

They’ll remaster it

Then tie it in with the new games

[sinful cobalt]

i want a same kind of remaster like how they did COD 4 and COD MW2 campaign

tho i would enjoy another Ghost game as well

[proper basin]

Ghosts netcode was pretty solid, if only they could replicate it lol

[trim rock]

But everyone hated that one!

[sinful cobalt]

i kinda liked it idk

[maiden tulip]

And dog

no

[outer pollen]

lol from cod mobile the mythic skin for ghost comes with that skin for Riley

[proper basin]

Story sucked but the mp and alien mode was quite good

Best perk system implementation imo

[maiden tulip]

it kept crashing on my pc back then

And steam refunds werent a thing

why did wooting shut double movement down?

[hardy merlin]

Because Epic added their own version of double movement

[primal dirge]

epics one is bad

[sinful cobalt]

Skill issue

[primal dirge]

Of course, what else

[orchid prism]

Because Epic keeps breaking it every few months, then suddenly it works again. Even though we haven't updated it in..3 years.

And people keep finding old videos, downloading it and coming here to complain it doesn't work.

[primal dirge]

I've had it for a year now and it's always worked perfectly, except for a few weeks ago when it didn't work for a few days, but that's not a big deal, I'll keep using it and it's one of the best things about a Wooting keyboard.

how do i

Make those in kirby

[outer pollen]

I dunno

[mellow garden]

Nice, update 1.57 is out for ETS2 and there's now HDR support.

[scarlet marlin]

I downloaded WWM, lets see if I can give it a try later today

[novel juniper]

🙂

[sinful cobalt]

Soon

[fallow bronze]

why are ppl so excited about hytale?

[mellow garden]

What even is Hytale?

[small comet]

minecraft but better

[trim rock]

Minecraft 2

[small comet]

it has built in asset editors, map editors, machinima capabilities, minigame capabilities, mod capabilities and such

[hardy merlin]

Terraria?

[pure bear]

one of those games that wants to do everything, we'll see if it does

[fallow bronze]

likely not

[vapid lintel]

Rimworld

[small comet]

i mean simon has uploaded videos of all of it the last few days

it does

so

more of a question how well it does them

[vapid lintel]

There's only one Simon Code-God

And it ain't him

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jx_dEtMBtY

for example the latest video

they seem to have invested quite some time to build these systems back in the day and riot basically didnt prioritize finishing what exists but rebuilding their own systems just so its crossplatform and not PC only

[hardy merlin]

[vapid lintel]

What does Hytale offer that I can't quench that thirst with either Minecraft or Vintage Story?

[small comet]

i just rattled of a list

[vapid lintel]

All of those already exist in Minecraft..

[small comet]

yes with mods and the tax attached to modding mc

[unkempt ocean]

its more combat based, which with mc is just stale

[vapid lintel]

So it's a total conversion mod for Minecraft

[small comet]

no

its its own game

selfmade engine

[unkempt ocean]

i mean hytale could be recreated with mods probably

but mods would have to be frankenstined together instead of made with one idea in mind

[small comet]

and then also maintained for each version of minecraft to come

[vapid lintel]

The way people talk about it, the drama, and the developer, they make it sound like the second coming of Christ

[small comet]

the only thing idk is if assets can be given functionality from within hytale witha visual editor and not code

[vapid lintel]

I just don't see why I should care about it..

[small comet]

if thats also a thing it basically beats any form of minecraft/vintage story

[unkempt ocean]

lol i probably wouldnt play it either

but its just cool

[small comet]

it is meant for creative people more than anything i think

given the focus on creating expansions to the game from within the game and not code editors/external tooling

i guess the closest experience wise is something like roblox

but then also not really

maybe cubeworld gameplay in a minecraft setting but with roblox style expandability and creativity tools included

[small comet]

kinda funny though cause im on the flipside and dont see why id get excited about mc/mc mods, vintage story or terraria and such. meanwhile hytale is quite interesting to me

[mellow garden]

uhoh

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj17aGFp3lM

id love to see this in satisfactory or such as well

[hardy merlin]

I have purchased piece of crap 100 in 1 console for 5€
Time to gut it and put rpi inside

[orchid prism]

AT that point why not just buy a replica shell and the parts to build your own?

[hardy merlin]

Because
You see
5€

[orchid prism]

[mellow garden]

That's like two months rent in Poland

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z0ll_DYQNs

Reminds me of Eurotrip.

[hardy merlin]

And came with charging circuit I can harvest and BL-5C battery
Insane value for 5€

[vapid lintel]

I'm tempted to pick up Anno 117... Love me a good Anno game.

[small comet]

im waiting for price reductions

got nothing but time to wait

[vapid lintel]

I want to get the gold edition to get the future DLCs for cheap

But I question whether or not Ubisoft will survive long enough to bring them out

Been a week now since they've halted trading, no sign of news to suggest it'll restart

[small comet]

eh

either a reduced price comes which means i can get either edition cheaper

or they die and i have to sail the 7 seas to get it

so win win for me

[vapid lintel]

Indeed

Thank you for your logic and saving my wallet

[compact oriole]

Isn't the game overwhelmingly mixed on steam

[small comet]

yes

but for a weird reason from what i can tell.... the story ends after act2 in the middle of story

[compact oriole]

Saw people say it's half baked and missing a ton

[small comet]

most steam reviews i saw literally got angry cause of the cut story

thats it

i honestly didnt even know anno has a story

[vapid lintel]

Apparently they cut the story abruptly to achieve a release date ahead of the holidays

[small comet]

yeah thats what i heard as well

[vapid lintel]

Sucks, but I don't play Anno for the story so whatever

[unkempt ocean]

is Disco Elysium any good?

[small comet]

same but at the same time anno has never been worth 60bucks (or now with those ultimate super super gold platin editions even more)

40bucks or so sure gladly will pay that for anno

[unkempt ocean]

saw someone playing it and the dialogue was well written (from like the first 5 min)

[vapid lintel]

Indeed... Picked up Planet Crafter and its new DLC instead

A third of the price

[small comet]

also some people complained that it plays like anno 1800 just with a romans skin... and i thought... isnt that every anno

[fallow bronze]

new dlc? ohno

[vapid lintel]

Hol up.. An Anno game that... Plays like an Anno game? How dare they?

[vapid lintel]

Mhmm, toxicity

https://tenor.com/view/britney-flight-attendant-toxic-gif-27107919

[small comet]

im waiting for Anno 300000B.C.

play as a caveman

[fallow bronze]

not the toxicity i'd be thinking about lol

[small comet]

and bring caveman society to glory

[fallow bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/system-of-a-down-rock-metal-serj-tankian-sing-gif-19309934

9 bucks... hmmmmmmmm.
i'll wait. got enough games atm

[vapid lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/theyre-the-same-picture-the-office-pam-the-office-us-gif-20757621

[fallow bronze]

that is ragebait sir

[vapid lintel]

[orchid prism]

Pretty much. You might in fact say that 1800 was a return to old form, since 2205 tried to break the mold a bit.

117 also brought back land combat, which is nice. Haven't had that since 1404

[small comet]

so it plays like every anno

[orchid prism]

Mostly yeah. The core formula is the same. Sail to island, build dock, put down basic peasant houses and food/consumables and go through the progression, adding new islands.

[vapid lintel]

And burn the heretics

[orchid prism]

Or join the heretics and burn Rome.

Actually an option, if you pick the Celt route in Britannia.

[vapid lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/montypython-witch-burnthewitch-gif-5477103

[small comet]

i wish anno had some bigger land masses and not just islands tbh

[orchid prism]

Yeah... 1800 tried, but ultimately failed since it was a single, DLC only huge island that was static.

So everyone basically just beelined for it and put their main metropolis there and made the near exact same city as every other person out there.

[cold anvil]

Yeah I give up

[cold anvil]

thats so cool

switch 2 coverart highkey pisses me off tho

mostly the age rating part

at the bottom left

[maiden tulip]

Ahow the cool stuff inside

[scarlet marlin]

isnt that on every game tho?

[small comet]

usually thats on the back though

same for all the extra info

[cold anvil]

the extending text that covers the bottom

it'd usually just be the age rating logo and the rest of the info on the back

[scarlet marlin]

the age thing is on the back?? since when

but I agree on the text, should not be on the cover

but if thats the rules nintendo set up

[small comet]

hm could have sworn they were on xbox, ps2 and such back in the day

[small comet]

its been ages since i bought physical

[mellow garden]

It's on the front of every Nintendo game I have

Pretty sure that's just regulatory requirements?

[proper basin]

Yes

[cold anvil]

We talking about this part

Looks ugly

[scarlet marlin]

yeah I got that, I was just commenting on tony's comment ;)

[cold anvil]

Oookii

[scarlet marlin]

age restrictions are at the bottom left as well for ps

same for ds games

[small comet]

guess i had the monopoly mass brainwash thing

[scarlet marlin]

so yeah thats been a standard for a long time

silly Tony

[small comet]

mandela effect thats the name

[outer pollen]

Does it have a reversible cover?

[mellow garden]

There is art on the other side, yes.

[scarlet marlin]

@mellow garden and how are the insides of the switch 2 games? some (bigger) indie games like to make it fun like back in the day

[mellow garden]

I'll check my other games, which are all Nintendo games, once my therapist has phoned (which is any minute now).

[cold anvil]

My favorite part of switch 1 covers is that some of them had alternative cover art on the other side

[scarlet marlin]

I was surprised when I opened the new pokémon game that it actually had a lil paper thingie and the map on the inside

the hamster game had a lil sticker sheet

now inside art sadly :(

[mellow garden]

[scarlet marlin]

does anyone ever do the cover reversals? I feel like the risk of damaging the paper is always too high to squeeze it back in

[quiet vault]

https://youtu.be/c3guhZL477Q?si=94d6kuONMqCXLPec

[outer pollen]

I did it to a few

[quiet vault]

ye she might be op

[small comet]

squeeze it back in?

[mellow garden]

I just leave mine as is. Although it's cool to bend the case back enough to see the reverse art clearly.

[small comet]

why do you squeeze in the cover art. dont you just fold it the other way a bit and its easy to slip in and out

or are we talking smth other than the plastic disk cases

[scarlet marlin]

I mean yeah if you wanna flip the cover, you gotta take the cover out the case and put it back in no?

[small comet]

yeah but it slides in freely

[scarlet marlin]

maybe squeeze wasnt the right word but yeah

I never liked doing it

[small comet]

i never had issues with the paper ripping or such

[outer pollen]

Just open it all the way and pull the plastic out

Pretty easy

[scarlet marlin]

not ripping but sometimes I got weird dents or something. but then again I was a kid

[cold anvil]

I put my copy of tears of the kingdom in my backpack once and something punctured the case and I have not recovered from it since. literally considered buying a whole new copy because of it

[scarlet marlin]

nowadays I dont bother tbh

[small comet]

i mean is there even reverse cover art nowadays

[scarlet marlin]

stellar blade has one for ps5

[small comet]

(again havent been in the physical release game for quite a while)

[outer pollen]

Like this

[scarlet marlin]

for example

[scarlet marlin]

I hate how this looks hahah makes me anxious

like the case is about the snap

[small comet]

na the plastic is flex

[scarlet marlin]

yeah but my brain is 'but what if I make it snap'

cause im clumsy

[outer pollen]

I might pick up 2 games for black Friday

@maiden tulip one for gaming and one for grinding

[scarlet marlin]

normal and reverse

I kinda prefer the normal tbh

too many people at the front in the other one

[mellow garden]

I, too, prefer seeing more of Eve.

[maiden tulip]

Wait hou already owned these

[scarlet marlin]

are switch one sealed games becoming 'rare' collectables nowadays btw

[maiden tulip]

I'm lost

[scarlet marlin]

or does it really depend on the game

[maiden tulip]

Did you see the switch deals

There's decent discounts on various games

[maiden tulip]

Eventually probably as the switch 2 makes 1 phase out

I did notice some older games not showing up on things like amazon tho

[scarlet marlin]

I have 1 american switch game and the spine doesnt match with the rest of my games and its lowkey bugging me hahah

[maiden tulip]

And other retailers

[outer pollen]

Depends on the game

[cold anvil]

Get all your switch games sealed and graded now!!

Call it an investment

[scarlet marlin]

im lowkey debating selling it

[cold anvil]

Get that psa 10 and wait for the money to roll in 30 years later B)

[cold anvil]

Switch 1?

[mellow garden]

Video game grading is wild. Open the case and play it.

[scarlet marlin]

no the game, not my switch

[cold anvil]

Ohh

[mellow garden]

Although, she could sell her Switch 1 to put towards a Switch 2.

[scarlet marlin]

i also got this one sealed. I think I got it from someone at pax

[cold anvil]

Do they still do the oled to switch 2 trade in…?

[scarlet marlin]

depends on the store I think

[scarlet marlin]

im not selling my precious animal crossing switch

thats gonna be worth a lot of money 20 years rfom now ;p

also I love my AC stuff

[mellow garden]

That's so stereotypically feminine.

[cold anvil]

I feel like 2 is too many

[outer pollen]

I might get Daemon X Machina 2

[outer pollen]

I own like 4

[mellow garden]

Very cool of my therapist to miss another session, that's three in two months.

[proper basin]

Don’t

[outer pollen]

One for each sibling lol

[cold anvil]

My first is my 2017 switch and my boyfriend bought himself a switch oled but gave it to me instead

[mellow garden]

All of my Switch 2 games have reservable cover art.

[cold anvil]

Oh if that counts I have 3

[scarlet marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/aesthetic-powerpuff-girls-gif-20172932

[mellow garden]

Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Super Mario Party Jamboree Switch 2 Edition, Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Tears of the Kingdom Switch 2 Edition, and Breath of the WIld Switch 2 Edition.

Super Mario Odyssey has some art and the lyrics for the title song on the other side.

[cold anvil]

Tbh the next gen upgrades arent bad, I’ve seen PlayStation games do it when it first came out and nobody complained

[scarlet marlin]

I personally prefer some original art or something fun on the inside to a reversable cover

[mellow garden]

Super Mario Galazy 1 + 2, Echoes of Wisdom, and Link's Awakening all have reservable cover art.

[outer pollen]

I think something worse than this, is when they do this shit

[mellow garden]

Nintendo are also a based publisher.

[outer pollen]

Plaster all this warranty shit on the reversible cover

[mellow garden]

IMHO.

[cold anvil]

Yeah 😭😭😭

[scarlet marlin]

what game is that omg

[outer pollen]

Metal gear collection

[scarlet marlin]

oh boi

so it needs info for every game I guess

[outer pollen]

The yuck oh early days collection has it as well

[cold anvil]

I high key want a switch 2 omg, I still have some of that switch 2 direct hype inside me

[proper basin]

Xenoblade chronicles 3

[scarlet marlin]

if they make a special professor layton or animal crossing switch 2 then I gotta get it

[cold anvil]

Im really excited for tomodachi life 2, literally a sequel to my childhood game

[mellow garden]

I have the ACNH Switch 2 Edition pre-ordered already.

[cold anvil]

It’s only literally the price of a bag of chips so you dont really lose much

[scarlet marlin]

YAAAAAAAS

and rhythm heaven

[cold anvil]

I forgot about rhythm heaven anouncement

[scarlet marlin]

I kinda regretting not buying the ds version in JP

[proper basin]

I’m gobs make so much lore in tomodachi life 2

[scarlet marlin]

alright time for food, ttyl gamers~

[cold anvil]

Im kinda clueless on who’d i want to add to my island

[mellow garden]

Having never played an Animal Crossing before, I have no idea what I'll do with my island on ACNH Switch 2 Edition.

[outer pollen]

@sinful cobalt 30$ for the base Hytale edition

[small comet]

did they release prices? simon said it will be under

[outer pollen]

Tomorrow

[small comet]

so its still under 30 bucks

[outer pollen]

Oh I misread lol

[sinful cobalt]

tbh its not that bad even for 30$

if u think that there are games for 80$

[small comet]

i do understand the goal though to make it as accessible as possible

not to mention we dont know what other editions include/price at

[outer pollen]

I’ve been watching my friend play Hypixel and that looks fun on Minecraft

[small comet]

its so nice

i would just buy Expedition33 instead twice

[small comet]

3 times for how much the cods cost it recommended you

I’m just hoping hytale has some form of fishing if anything

but i assume it does given the heavy inspiration it took from minecraft and such

it will come once the exclusive deal expires

Pretty sure Sony are the publisher entirely

Despite Kojima Productions being independent from Sony in terms of ownership

They had working version for months now

I'm gunna vote Silksong just to stick it to AAA who thinks Team Cherry did a disservice to the industry by pricing their game so reasonably

i only played claire obscure.
it was very nice

Not in this reality. They have a publisher who gave em huge support. Money and also:

"The funding also allowed Sandfall to expand the manpower contributing to the project beyond this core team, having outsourced gameplay combat animation to a team of eight South Korean freelance animators and quality assurance (QA) to a few dozen QA testers from the firm QLOC, as well as receiving porting assistance from a half-dozen developers from Ebb Software."

Idk why they nominated it for indie..

Where megabonk or another true indie

Megabonk was nominated but dev resigned, said it's not his debut indie

[compact oriole]

Ye he resigned from debut indie category

Which e33 for some reason is also nominated for iirc

[maiden tulip]

Yeah but then shit got announced that wasn't just nintendo games

[compact oriole]

Weird, seeing as almost all of em made other games before e33 as well

[autumn depot]

finally a short video I can enjoy

[hollow zephyr]

nice, controller support on arc raiders is very good.

very plesant to play on PlayStation and Xbox from what I've heard

[fringe salmon]

yeah it's like the poster child for AA games, so unless the definition of indie is "it's not AAA" its like the farthest it could be removed from the category

[scarlet marlin]

"An indie video game or indie game (short for independent video game) is a video game created by individuals or smaller development teams without the financial and technical support of a large game publisher, in contrast to most "AAA" (triple-A) games." isnt that still applicable? they got a publisher but not a giga one

[compact oriole]

well they got money and resources in the form of external teams to do shit for them

i wouldnt classify that as indie anymore.

[little cape]

ty for reminding me i gotta do this

[scarlet marlin]

theyre still indie imo, tho there's a huge difference it the type of indie games nowadays

[balmy current]

Predicted Gabecube in 2022? are you a valve imployee?

[little cape]

Never played expedition 33 but it gets my vote. All the cips i seen the game truly deserves it

[compact oriole]

how is getting sent millions and multiple teams to help them ontop of literal publishing indie

indie means no publisher or at least in a wider sense that the publisher doesnt tell you how to make your game

a 50mil game that they didnt fund themselves and multiple teams to assist. i dont think thats indie in a category which is more symbolic than anything else

[small comet]

no it means no large publisher

[compact oriole]

whats a large publisher. where do you draw the line. that definition seems more like a cop out

is devolver a large publisher? they have over 250 titles on steam

[orchid prism]

The ones you think of immediately, when you hear AAA.

[compact oriole]

publisher doesnt equal AAA tho..

[scarlet marlin]

large as the amount as in the number of games they published or large of the amount of they have in the bank

[orchid prism]

You're missing the point. There are no hard rules anymore.

[compact oriole]

so getting your 50mil game paid and adding more than 50 people from the outside by the publisher is still indie

ill keep that in mind

[small comet]

if the publisher gives this no strings attached yes

[compact oriole]

sucks for the solo devs i guess. theyre suckers

[small comet]

its about developing it independant of publisher input

the studio/team/dev is in full control of the game

[compact oriole]

so like bf6

are they indie too?

[orchid prism]

EA

[compact oriole]

ye but they let dice do their shit this time

[orchid prism]

With EA? No such thing.

[small comet]

yeah no EA definitely didnt give them full free reign

[compact oriole]

also https://i.imgur.com/3afRCSU.png according to the game awards. so is giving millions and giving them teams to do shit for them not traditional publisher system now?

[small comet]

yes

and it is

[compact oriole]

"An indie game, short for independent video game, is a game created by individuals or small development teams without financial or technical support from large game publishers."

[vapid lintel]

Any game that isn't a AAAA game is indie

[compact oriole]

not really.. e33 is an AA game

[small comet]

thats not a thing

[compact oriole]

guess everyone made it up

[small comet]

its like AAAA

[compact oriole]

even wikipedia made it up

or the 2million other websites im finding it on

[small comet]

you will also find AAAA on millions of websites

[compact oriole]

ye because ubisoft and their mentally challenged post about the ship game

tho the As just stand for the money and team size involved

[small comet]

perfect dark also got called AAAA didnt it

like

pretty sure people also tried making A and B games a thing

like B rate movies

[compact oriole]

lol its even in this description "AA" or Double-A games are mid-market video games that typically have some type of professional development though typically outside of the large first-party studios of the major developers; these may be from larger teams of indie developers in addition to larger non-indie studios. Double-A studios tend to range from 50 to 100 people in size.[29] A double-A development studio will typically be backed by a publisher but not fundamentally part of that publisher, and thus have somewhat more freedom to innovate and experiment compared to triple-A studios, though will still be constrained by specific risk-limiting targets and goals from their funding source. Double-A games generally tend to be priced lower compared to triple-A games. Examples of games considered to be double-A titles include PUBG: Battlegrounds, DayZ,[30] and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.[31]

[small comet]

ok even with that AA could be indie cause as per your own copy pasta these may be from larger teams of indie developers in addition to larger non-indie studios

[old meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/jesus-notagain-gif-27185299

[compact oriole]

[old meteor]

AA vs AAA vs AAAA

[small comet]

dont forget AAA+

[proper basin]

Crunch wins

[small comet]

oh and III

[old meteor]

I say again: headdesk!

[small comet]

actually hytale is also indie isnt it

despite millions of funding from personal pockets of simon and the other guy

[little cape]

still too expensive for this garbage

or did they finally fix their issues?

[grizzled bramble]

Dunno i played it so long ago

[little cape]

i heard a lot of people having stuttering issues

i assumed you barely had any of that ?

[small comet]

is it sad that i have almost that time in powerwash sim 2

and its not that expensive

[grizzled bramble]

Mafia : TOC got the free ride update and with that another stupid difficulty achievement

[small comet]

yeah i sadly wont play it again anyway. the story was just not all i hoped for

ill stick with 1 and 2

[grizzled bramble]

I had some but it wasn't that bad

When i played GTA IV for the first time on low settings with max stuttering because i hadn't upgraded my PC yet then, that was bad

[small comet]

when i thought there really is a 4mb compressed version of gta4

man that was the time

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah still it was nice, it just fell off a bit at a few parts during the story

Lol yeah

[small comet]

i feel like how it ends is just... not good

[keen scaffold]

yeah a while back thankfully

[small comet]

like the last quarter of the story feels kinda weird and sort of not coherent

like them distrusting the prot ok but the betrayal man

[grizzled bramble]

Yeah for sure

[small comet]

still better than mafia 3 though

so

it got that going for it

[small comet]

see

less than 30

and a decent base price for accessibility

[small comet]

was about to post it

and the bigger packs seem to be cosmetics

[outer pollen]

Which one you getting?

[small comet]

depends on whats really in the packs

if its really just cosmetics ill get base

i could see me getting a bigger edition if it includes another key/license and smth like earlier access to the next build or nightly builds or smth

[outer pollen]

Ohhh that’s fair, I hope the founders has an extra key or two

[small comet]

ye thats why im waiting now for them to drop the website

also price apparently dropped low cause simon couldnt figure out good regional pricing for regions where income is lower on avg in time for early access

[outer pollen]

I know DE is doing the same for the Soulframe founders

“We aren’t ignorant and know that times are tough right now”

[small comet]

also quite the strong statement on modding

A few key principles guide us:

• Server-side first: All modding in Hytale is based on the host of the server or host of the game. You should be able to join any modded Hytale server without downloading external mods or juggling client packs. Use any combination of plugins and asset packs to customize your gameplay experience or rely on a server to offer you an experience. You create a singleplayer save and select the mods you want to use for that savegame.
• One community, one client: We want to avoid a fragmented ecosystem where every server requires a different modded client. For that reason, we don't intend to support any client mods. The client should remain stable, secure, and consistent, while servers provide the creativity and variation.
• Modding for longevity: We are committing to modding for the long term. We believe modders like us have been looking for a project that doesn't just tolerate them but actively embraces and supports them.
• Empowering modders without exposing players: We want modders to benefit from their work and build a future they can rely on, with as much freedom as possible - without exposing players to the security and safety risks that exist on some other modding platforms.

especially point one is smth that not a lot of games get right

[grizzled bramble]

Is this some Nintendo game?

[outer pollen]

Yeah point 1 and 2 sound awesome

[small comet]

no hytale is by the dude who made hypixel (a minecraft server with tons of custom minigames)

[outer pollen]

I didn’t know that

[grizzled bramble]

I see, have to check it out

ETS2 looks so much better now that there's HDR support. Nice overhaul to the Scandinavia DLC in time for the Nordic Horizons DLC to release next week.

Accurately adjusted daylight based on real-world timing in northern Europe.
