The rumour I’ve heard is that they’ll just increase to the MKW bundle price and stop offering the game bundle.

NAND flash prices make the new 16GB and 32GB cartridges dead on arrival.

Played the demo of FF7RI on the Switch 2 and I’m rather impressed.

Very good port.

new seasonal badge in point shop

[sinful cobalt]

Thats a good way to farm steam XP

[compact oriole]

[sinful cobalt]

I need 7000 points to max out the badge

[bleak pike]

What badge

[small comet]

seasonal points

[sinful cobalt]

The seasonal badge

[small comet]

https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/c/steambadge

can see their badge in the row at the top of the screenshot

[bleak pike]

Is there a reason for this

Does this give profile xp

[small comet]

steam levels and smth to spend the points on

[small comet]

yes

[bleak pike]

I have soooo many points

Maybe I should do it

[small comet]

each seasonal is only 40k

[compact oriole]

ye thats basically all i spend my points on

[small comet]

i also completely forgot they exist this year so winter is the only i got

also afaik literally all badges give profile xp

[compact oriole]

these 40 badges brought me from lv 139 to 142

ye they do

[small comet]

the sad thing is profile lvls dont do much after a certain point

[bleak pike]

I have 100k+

Points

[compact oriole]

i forgot they do anything until you mentioned it

doesnt it only expand your friends list?

[small comet]

yesnt

you also get more showcase slots every 10levels (idk if it caps) and booster chance increase every 10 or 20 levels or so

but with all of these idk if they cap

the 5more friend slots per level is smth that is wholely useless to me

base is 250 friends so even that is too many for me lol

[bleak pike]

It's all useless to me tbh

Except the profile effects etc

[small comet]

if the points shop had good stuff id use it on that

imagine you had infinite money and just become one of these guys

[orchid prism]

https://youtu.be/QmGOxJFgcsY?t=1606

Bricky explains the use of AI in Arc pretty well. What they're doing, what people are assuming (correct and incorrect things)

Use timestamp for the actual part*

[small comet]

also found my answer. friends cap out at 2000

so after that levels are 100% useless

[compact oriole]

holy fuck someone overtook the last top guy by 1000 levels wtf

[small comet]

yeah prob by spending boat loads of cash on sales badges which level infinitely

[compact oriole]

also buying all cards he could to craft badges

and buying 24k games

[small comet]

24k games is actually not much xp

its just well 24k

each non free game is 1xp

batches are worth far more usually

[grizzled quarry]

Stasiks been above him for a couple years now

St4ck spending his money on cars now

[hardy merlin]

At this point I'd expect web browser port sooner

Do you really want to carry a pile of game key cards?

If the game I want only has a game keycard then I don’t have to make a decision

It already has been made

Ai is Ai no matter how small it might have been

Sure

But is a very small detail a hill to die on?

If not it’s a malicious lie

what game is that even

[trim rock]

Where WInds Meet, a game that is only 65 GiB (if you get the lite version) and has a shitton of game in it

[orchid prism]

Where Winds Meet.

It's a free to play* Soulslike/Assassination's Creed style game set in Ancient China

It looks gorgeous and has been fun so far for a few hours, just exploring side content and a bit of the main story.

Stumbled upon a puppet master and his bodyguard, which was apparently a very tough fight for later. Got him on my fourth try.

[trim rock]

It's one of those where it just has a shitton of systems because some designer just had to have everything, you can build shit as well because why not

There are also these boats that apparently cost thousands of real monies to set off, it's so whales can show off their skins since any plebs can join

And some NPCs are AI chatbots you can talk to

Apparently that's a big thing in China

[orchid prism]

Yeah they're pretty rudimentary but works well enough

[floral veldt]

hah

[trim rock]

I think you can also marry other player(s?)

Damn. This early access freebie is pretty nice. Love the colours 😄

Aww yiss. Cat temple.

VOLVOOOOO
Why in your Proton version there's still no Bink Video codecs
I love you GloriousEggroll for Proton-GE

[mellow garden]

Isn’t this game Steam Deck verified?

[trim rock]

Apparently

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, I'm not trying to torture my Deck

[trim rock]

But we all know how little that means these days

Also lacking video codecs is not a massive setback since Valve just re-encodes them... and puts those videos in the shader blobs, so if you turn off that shader precache garbage you don't get these re-encodes

[nimble current]

according to steam cyberpunk is popular on the deck

can't imagine it either looks or runs that great on that hardware

[hardy merlin]

I bought game on GOG, so I don't get these either apparently

[mellow garden]

Vendor lock in

[hardy merlin]

I had to install codecs, I felt like back in 2014

[sinful cobalt]

Sir thats 11 years ago

[maiden tulip]

It's awful

[hardy merlin]

K-Lite Codec Pack days
Switching to VLC was like a breath of fresh air

[maiden tulip]

Switch 2 is honestly the only portable version of cyberpunk i'd consider ok enough

I tried cyberpunk on the deck and messed around with the dettings a lot and i just couldn't find a proper balance

[hardy merlin]

There's a mod which optimizes PC version for deck and keeps ~50fps without FSR

[mellow garden]

Hot take (it's actually mild) but Switch 2 is the best gaming handheld on the market right now.

[nimble current]

still not worth cucking for shittendos anti-consoomer practices

[hushed cloak]

It's legitimately not worth owning.

[proper basin]

Xenoblade :)

[mellow garden]

Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong

[nimble current]

to me these are all kids games

[hushed cloak]

I bought one specifically for kirby air riders and metroid. game is perfect but theres literally nothing else worth playing. Metroid looks horifically bad.

If they keep with the BOTW formula that's not really worth playing either.

Though Xenoblade chronicles 4 or XCX 2 will make me slightly more hype.

@nimble current I mean, video games are a leisure activity. It seems pointless to differentiate between kid games and any other game

[mellow garden]

The Steam Deck somewhat solves the problems that the Windows handhelds have but the install base just isn't large enough for developers and publishers to prioritise it.

[hardy merlin]

Zelda and Mario has not been released on S2 yet

[hushed cloak]

I got my my steam deck for a cool $100 and it’s been very worth. Not quite as good as my vita or 3ds as far as hours

[proper basin]

Ac new leaf will always have me in a chokehold for playtime on 3ds

[mellow garden]

I'm interested in the rumoured upcoming PlayStation handheld. Especially as the PS5 low power mode is their trojan horse for game support.

[hardy merlin]

My 3DS has the most hours in all 3 New Style Boutique games

[sinful cobalt]

i sold my PS2 last year my last and only console

[mellow garden]

My only criticism of the Switch 2 as a platform are the physical cartridges being eMMC. The read speeds just aren't good enough due to that. NAND prices aren't making them cheap either so I suspect most publishers will go eShop-only by the time we get a Switch 3.

I'd wager that even Nintendo will go eShop-only as well.

[sinful cobalt]

Nintendo be like 100$/game

[calm tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/teto-kasane-kasane-teto-dance-gif-10988405602005627457

[mellow garden]

The Switch 2 first party games are cheaper on the eShop than they are physically. At least here in the UK.

I'm paying roughly a £10 price premium to own a physical copy.

[hardy merlin]

Nintendo is already eShop only
Even if you have game on cartridge, you have to connect to Nintendo to download updates

[mellow garden]

That's any console though?

Even PC is like that

[hardy merlin]

Sure, but then why include cartridges in the first place
Some of them are just keys nowadays
I mean if you like collecting empty boxes more power for you, but... eh...

[sinful cobalt]

FunkoPop monopoly

[mellow garden]

Because the cartridges contain the release version of a game?

And in some cases, there's few or no patches as the games don't ship broken.

[hushed cloak]

I would much rather own the cartridge. The simple solution is dont buy keycard games

[hardy merlin]

Most of them suck without updates anyway, because we are living in the world of Day 1 patches
Maybe some small indie productions don't have these

[hushed cloak]

Owning physical is about to stop being a thing so get it while you can is my thoughts.

[hardy merlin]

Buy game on GOG, download files, save on SD card

[mellow garden]

Buy game on GOG but the game isn't on GOG 😔

I'll keep this vague but I know a few people that work in/around the games industry and generally speaking, the console-focused part of these companies are annoyed that PC got away with going digital-only. Especially as the main platforms, except GOG, are effectively just as restrictive as digital stores on consoles.

Can't really talk about Xbox but the noise I've heard regarding future PlayStation and Switch generations is that any physical media support will likely be backwards compatibility only.

[hardy merlin]

I mean Valve and GOG are heaps more consumer-friendly than Xbox or PlayStation, plus you can still play the game on PC that you have bought on Steam like 20 years ago, where you really can't do that with PS3 games on PS5 for example
Plus on PC you have freedom of choice when it comes to source, if youd don't want to pay for game there are even... um... alternative sources, where on consoles you only have official store and that's it

[vapid lintel]

Actual hot take: none of Nintendo's IP interests me in the slightest

[proper basin]

But what about pikmin

[hardy merlin]

Breath of the Wild and SM Odyssey were cool
But that's about it when it comes to new Nintendo
Even Fashion Dreamer is a downgrade to New Style Boutique

[cold anvil]

I just want a switch 2 to play nintendo games without shitting themselves on their own hardware

[nimble current]

even if you buy a physical copy it matters little these days with all the forced online

[cold anvil]

Honestly digital makes more sense on a handheld than a home console

I think nintendo handles the ownership of digital copies quite well at end of life

It is hilarious to throw big opponents...or the angry goose in the pier village.

I may have accidentally unlocked an achievement for showing it who's the top goose around town.

[vapid lintel]

Instant achievement showcase material

[orchid prism]

The game's got humour and so many references.

I've seen every cool scene from Kung Fu Hustle in some way or shape.

I have the looney tunes like running animation as my "mount", there's an opponent that uses the toad style, and so much more.

Just waiting for a soccer mini game, where we pelt them Shaolin style across a canyon at this point.

what the fuck kind of timeline we are in

[orchid prism]

So far I only have one major gripe with WWM. Unlocking new weapon types.

Similar to how Dune does it, you get to pick one style early on, and then have to discover the others later - And some are quite far in.

I picked the DPS umbrella for flair, and it's not bad - But it's not melee, which kind of ruins it for me. So I've been trying to unlock the rope and ball one - But it's locked behind making it all the way to the major city, which I haven't made it to yet.

Hahaha. I am officially too fast at WWM. It won't let me progress to the next tier of levels before another 24 hours 😄

Good god... the party boat social hubs are just like a twitch livestream where everyone just blindly types /claim for no damn reason.

And everyone's spamming "like mah profile to have a chance of receiving good stuff"

Hah that would be an awesome drunken master move. First you drink the wine, then you throw it. And a followup to set the enemy ablaze.

Hah.... alright then. Don't think I've ever played a Gacha game that's like. "Stop playing - Seriously. Come back tomorrow to continue the main story"

[small comet]

i played lots like that lol

usually cause im playing through new content too fast

[orchid prism]

I wasn't even trying. 😄

Guess it wants me to explore more exploration, aka collectibles AC style. And do some side quests.
I just want to go to the main city, so I can unlock my damn rope weapon.

[trim rock]

Huh, I never had that timegating

I guess it's because I just dinked around for a bit before continuing the story

Yeah I'm currently stuck not being allowed to go past lv30 until late tonight.

Being gated by level isn't bad if grinding for those levels are fun. AC shadows had the most boring side mission imaginable so the gated progression was ass iirc

No grinding so far - I am content gated though.

Can't continue the story till tonight. All I can do is fuck around on the map 😄

i hate time gates

they only get worse

Dunno why people didn’t just pick up a switch 2 for the holidays, heard microcenter had it at $400

Surely people won’t complain about the switch 2’s “sudden” price hike if it were to happen

I don’t think switch 2’s price is bad it’s pretty much in line for what I expected the main issue is definitely with game prices

And Official Nintendo accessories has always been expensive

[maiden tulip]

I also saw sales here in canada

Not huge sales but sales

You basically save taxes

I've been playing Hogwarts Legacy for my second playthrough after originally playing at release. There's a lot more side quest and collectibles to complete than I remembered playing back in 2023 when I did 100% completion as a single character (a Ravenclaw).

[small comet]

you cant do 100percent as a single char at least trophy wise

[mellow garden]

The PS5 Pro enhancements are pretty good though. Enjoying the Performance VRR mode as it's usually 80-ish FPS (at least when I've checked using the LG game mode overlay).

[mellow garden]

I meant in terms of what the game UI shows.

The collections tab, challenges tab, and the various lists when looking at the map.

Getting the platinum trophy after 100% completing one character isn't too difficult, you only have to do a small amount of main story as the three other houses.

and whats the best way to do so to minimise blur?

[nimble current]

with the latest upscalers, not blurry at all really

[fading spade]

Cyberpunk runs great at 1080p for me but it drops below 60 often at 1440p....
so if I could run it at 1080 and get it upscaled, that could be nice

[proper basin]

Just play deadlock

Or smite 2, new patch is interesting

[nimble current]

Fortnite x Fortnite collab when

[cold anvil]

Highkey tired of the rapid fire collaborations they doing

Its cool dont get me wrong

They could just be doing more with the game

The collabs is just a desperate attempt to stay afloat

And its working cause people eat it up

The games fine

Battle royale is ok and og is pretty good

Just feels like numbers being artificially inflated due to people buying said collabs and the having the incentive to play the game because they spent money on it to bey their favorite little character

[fading spade]

WAIT WAIT the new Nexus mod manager has an AppImage <3 fuck yeah

[cold anvil]

And within a month or so they’re already gone, until the next thing they like is added then the cycle repeats

[fading spade]

wtf???

[trim rock]

Seems pretty clear to me

[fading spade]

is it safe to continue????

[fallow bronze]

We have zero context

[mellow garden]

Hogwarts Legacy completed (again). Although technically not because the final, final quest requires you to be level 34 but the actual story itself is done.

Now to not farm all the collectibles again and play another game.

[cold anvil]

time well spent

[mellow garden]

Control Ultimate Edition is under £10

[fading spade]

ugh now cyberpunk wont launch :/

[sinful cobalt]

best game

[fading spade]

YES I love Control <3

ok no game is launching wtf

[sinful cobalt]

[cold anvil]

Epic games

[bleak pike]

Wasn't this shit

[sinful cobalt]

i never played it

[maiden tulip]

It was decent

Just had some flaws

But it was not bad at all

[bleak pike]

Ah

[little cape]

hate the camera angle

[hollow zephyr]

Story is ok, but at launch the title was horribly optimized

[orchid prism]

Poggers collab!

[plush karma]

I returned it last week. The display is amazing, but it has a bunch of weird QC issues. Side decals falling off, the right display is always cut off on the top etc etc etc

Was okay while it lasted though

[fading spade]

Oh gosh ....
;_;

Also why is that audio cable so thick??!

[plush karma]

It's not worth the $600, I would rather buy the competitor XReal, or RayNeo for way cheaper

[fading spade]

Unless it's not audio? Idk

[plush karma]

oh, that's my keyboard usb cable lol

[fading spade]

Oh xd

I have a similar one but it doesn't twist like that on the other end of the connector

[plush karma]

https://15cables.com/detail-product/90

I bought it from this Vietnam maker, he makes really cool cables

[fading spade]

AAAAAA love that name lol

The cooper one is very awesome actually

[plush karma]

Oh yeah, I have this one, it's called AAAAAAA because it's Gura themed

[fading spade]

OMFH

LOL OK BRILLIANT

[plush karma]

[fading spade]

This is very bi and I love it

[sinful cobalt]

its missing the blue color tho

[fading spade]

Ye xf

The site is slow ..or maybe it's just my data speed atm

I spent so much money this month......
And I already have the Wooting coiled cable.....
But OMFH these are so beautiful

[orchid prism]

Most important metric. Knowing how close you are to matching the sheer power of goose.

[fading spade]

[orchid prism]

And yes - Geese are fucking scary in this game 😄

Zelda chicken scary.

[bleak pike]

Geese can be scary irl

[orchid prism]

These know Kung Fu.

@maiden tulip

[orchid prism]

No I'm not asking what he did. I'm asking what his name was.

(Repeat sequence for three minutes, british humor style)

Haaaaahaha. The game has a prison mechanic.

[trim rock]

Yeah, get sent to prison camp and work your ass off or have veggies thrown at you

Or have a friend break you out sounds fun I need to try that

[proper basin]

You can get an outfit for staying in prison long enough

[orchid prism]

I am genuinely not sure how I ended up here. I exited a story cutscene and was immediated attacked by NPCs. Beat them and then I had a large crime bounty on me 😄

[trim rock]

Maybe you broke a pot?

[proper basin]

Now just stay there for 24hrs and you get the free outfit

[orchid prism]

Leaving the cutscene? I guess. Must be some random spawn in thing.

Either way it was only a 15min sentence, so I just went to make some tea.

I did find it a little insulting to have my bounty claimed by someone who I could realistically never beat. There doesn't appear to be any kind of matchmaking there to prevent endgame players from just decimating you.

Anyhow.... almost able to get to max level now. Just need to wait for tonight to break through a final time.

[hot spire]

my kid sister got a toy excavator and the backup alarm is 100% the Goldeneye Dam alarm

[cold anvil]

Switch 2 screen is great coming from the oled

I dont really mind not having deep blacks anymore

I’d say the only downside going back to ips is viewing angles

[cold anvil]

@maiden tulip @outer pollen switch 2 is so awesome, I really wanna buy legends za physically but all my local stores are closed for today

But metroid prime 4 has been really awesome so far

I also played a bit of Fortnite and the game actually runs like it’s supposed to run with is crazy

[maiden tulip]

Coolio

[mellow garden]

Pokémon

[maiden tulip]

My dad got me an sd card for my switch but... it's defective

[cold anvil]

Oh rippp

[maiden tulip]

Hard crashes my switch, isnt being read in windows

Tried on linux its also fucked xd

[cold anvil]

Do they have like warranty for micro express cards??

[outer pollen]

ready for Animal Crossing c:

[cold anvil]

Yes!!! Kinda…

I dont have my preorder in yet for switch 2 edition and I haven’t played much in a bit (I got caught up in replaying botw)

[orchid prism]

Of course? 😄

[maiden tulip]

I mean yeah but it was bought a while ago so i have to go through team group

:/

But hey i'd have to send it back regardless so

Who cares if its the store or team group

[mellow garden]

[maiden tulip]

Christmas hates me this year

Even the simplest of things go wrong

I swear its a curse

[mellow garden]

[cold anvil]

Switch 2 case stands out

[hollow zephyr]

what if I chipped a switch 2

Ngl mod chipping a switch 2 is probably the only way to hack it.

[cold anvil]

Switch 2 is gonna be the perfect console to mod after life expectancy

Gonna be the 3DS allover again

[hollow zephyr]

And to unlock its full potential by increasing its measly 20W power limit >:3

[cold anvil]

Im surprised its only 20w, still gets kinda warm ngl

Maybe thats just me taking my switch 2 off the dock right after playing MP4 in 4k..

[hollow zephyr]

yeah

[outer pollen]

Planning on getting the killswitch case?

[cold anvil]

Nah Im not a big fan of those cases

Never found the joycons uncomfortable anyways

[fading spade]

Cyberpunk modding is a pain...

• FInd nice mod
• Check requirements
• Maybe 3 show up
• Checks each one...
• Turns out one of these requirements has like 6 of its own
• The requirements for this requirement for this mod needs its own requirements
• Got to follow the chain all the way down one dang mod at a time

[cold anvil]

Let me guess, Nexus?

[granite glade]

hi idk if this is the area to ask this but should i get a 2k 240hz ips monitor or a 1080p 300hz ips one im currently on a 1080 180hz va pannel monitor and i think its time for me to upgrade since i got my first pc (rtx 5080/ryzen 7800x3D)

[fading spade]

yep

[small comet]

doesnt nexus allow installing requirements

[orchid prism]

HAHAHA wow...

Can't even mention the forbidden T word in WWM.

https://tenor.com/view/pooh-think-gif-2893622547045445477

[graceful grail]

2k

[cold anvil]

2k

[plush karma]

What even is Genshin anymore lmao.

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[exotic musk]

this is NOT genshin

wtf

[plush karma]

That's the joke

[exotic musk]

oh

[plush karma]

Genshin could never

[compact oriole]

If you can afford it, definitely oled. They've come down in price a bunch this year

[hallow imp]

I'm currently on a dual mode oled monitor 4k 240hz and 1080p 480hz and honestly just get an oled either one will suffice but 2k since you've got a 5080

[fathom swift]

Why ppl calling 1440p as 2k now? Guess its like saying 6000mhz even though its actually mt/s

[orchid prism]

People have been calling it that for a decade now. Get with the times unc

[fathom swift]

People have been wrong for a decade ig

[orchid prism]

No arguments there. That's what happens when you market tech terms to the common consumer. They go aha! if it's called 4K, then it must be 2K for 1440 and 1K for 1080.

[pure bear]

4k is to blame yeah

it should be called 2160p

[hardy merlin]

2k is 1080p though

[fathom swift]

Saying 2k should mean what is called 4k now

[hardy merlin]

Just like DCI 4K is 4096x2160, so 2160p is 4k
DCI 2K is 2048x1080, so 1080p is 2k

[orchid prism]

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Vector_Video_Standards8.svg
Have fun

And like I said. This is what happens when you leave the consumer to guess 😄

[hardy merlin]

If anything 1440p is closer to 3K than 2K

[fallow bronze]

2.5k

[hardy merlin]

2.6

At least that's how Framework and Apple used to call it

[fallow bronze]

I'll just call it Steve P

“I got this!”

[hardy merlin]

Microsoft has to explain to shareholders that that $80B that went into AI is actually a good investment, so they push it everywhere

Kinda wish they spent this money into researching new type of models instead of hammering good ol language ones

[fallow bronze]

They also do that i assume

But llms are here now available to make moneys

[novel umbra]

in forza it might be good for car sounds

[hallow imp]

Dunno why I called it 2k as ive never done that before we can say its just laziness
