[scarlet marlin]

I dont think rappy snappy is the issue but snappy tappy (socd) will get you kicked from the lobby

[nimble granite]

I was under the impression both were banned, accoring to feedback from reddit and what not

[sinful cobalt]

You are just not as consistent as other so the system isn’t kicking you out

[nimble granite]

I'm not sure, I'm going in intentionally trying to get detected.

[nimble granite]

following up, I changed from RS to SOCD and was kicked.

[bleak pike]

What I don't get is people complain about too much downtime yet everyone loved/loves battle royals lol

[compact oriole]

because brs had tension in the downtime when you were trying to loot. this game does not, here its just boring downtime

[mellow garden]

@scarlet marlin on the My Nintendo Store in the UK as a pre-order perk for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream

[cold anvil]

This is actually pretty sick

[buoyant osprey]

Did you like it?

[orchid prism]

It was... long. Too long. And combat is... it gets very exhausting.

But in a world where Bioware produces slop, it's refreshing.

[small comet]

bioware? more like clankerware

[manic owl]

i kinda lost faith in AAA developers as a whole

[little cape]

ptsd from middle earth shadow of mordor

https://tenor.com/view/n64-nintendo-playstation-xbox-steam-gif-759432323468829734

did i have to go into the middle of their camp and vs 100+ enemies

no.

[manic owl]

honestly i liked that game a lot

[little cape]

But I won.

[cold anvil]

N64 controller without the handles?!

[little cape]

it was a good game but my hands hated me

[buoyant osprey]

I found it exhausting how full the world was of chests everywhere to loot

[manic owl]

oh definetly it gets tedious to run through hordes of enemys

[buoyant osprey]

Agree the combat gets exhausting. I was mage and spamming the wand attack and spells stopped being interesting quickly

[orchid prism]

I was rifle user early on, then went mage for the flavour.
But fights just drag on - Wave after wave in the same fight.

That's my main gripe if any.

And it's not like fights are hard. I'm on Normal and I have over a hundred health potions on me at the very final area.

It just drags on and on.

[manic owl]

i still have mixed feelings about obsidian after playing through the outer worlds

[orchid prism]

Gear is also... weird.

There's unique gear all over the place. And it's obviously much better than any normal gear. So once you have a set, you consider all normal gear pointless. And the entire upgrading system loses most of its core.

Cause you only upgrade unique items - And the upgrade items are very rare at the top of each area.

[manic owl]

seems avowed has simmilar issues as the outer worlds then, i remember that most of the time it only made sense to use quest loot

[orchid prism]

Only four companions, none of them felt particularly interesting to me.

Pillars universe ... well you either love it or don't care I guess. I'm firmly in the meh section 😄

[manic owl]

yeah that was the same with the outer worlds , can you at least romance them?

[orchid prism]

Mostly cause I couldn't force myself through the prequels.

Is it worth playing? Yes. But don't expect a masterpiece. It is a solid Outer Worlds 😄

[buoyant osprey]

I also used a rifle originally then switched to a pistol since it was faster. Rifles suck in the game. The low speed is not worth it

I did find the way combat worked annoying with how every enemy just teleports over to you as they strike

[orchid prism]

I like one shotting things 😄

[lone cosmos]

these damn dps ques are absolutely brutal

[cold anvil]

HK reference in the cotl DLC

[maiden tulip]

@orchid prism I got this pokemon card yesterday from packs, i thought you would appreciate DUCK

🦆

[cold anvil]

one of the achievements is to beat the final boss of the DLC w/o hitting her and it's just an endurance test this shit pissing me off 😭

[stiff fiber]

What is your most anticipated game 2026 guys?

[cold anvil]

Tomodachi life living the dream, second is re9.
Gta6 used to be there but all my expectations are so low for this game coming out anytime soon

[stiff fiber]

Yeah I might be the only person in the world not really liking gta

[bleak pike]

Well, I'm on PC so I'm not really anticipating lol

I'm still playing games that came out in 2019

[stiff fiber]

Oh yeah same anyway

[nimble current]

I'll get gta6 when its on pc, I'm not hyped enough about it that I can't wait until that's the case

GTA5 I got like 3 years after its release on a sale

[stiff fiber]

I have gta5 in my steam library never took time to play it

[cold anvil]

I’ve honestly been on a binge recently playing games I’ve played before on PS5 but replaying them on PC

[nimble current]

the campaign is pretty fun but there's little to stick around for after you're done with it imo

[stiff fiber]

I am stuck on arc raiders I do not play any other games these days

[nimble current]

but RDR2 is much superior in most regards also

[cold anvil]

The story is alright, not a rdr or rdr2 but its alright for what it is

[stiff fiber]

Rdr is more expensive than rdr2 on steam

[nimble current]

because its the remastered version, it came out after RDR2

[cold anvil]

Yeah I agree the gameplay and almost sandbox like nature carries

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QLbrPZoBBo
Oh my. Firaxis open to feedback? Hold my hand - I feel faint.

[nimble current]

it hasn't been available on pc at all before that

[cold anvil]

rerelease** also the game has missing dlc

I forgot which ones but it is missing some content

[nimble current]

GTA5 feels so shallow and lifeless after you've played RDR2 where you can talk to and insult everyone and enter a lot more houses and stores

[stiff fiber]

I was playing control but I gave up. I do not know it is really my kind of games, fps and paranormal stuff but for some reason I cannot get into it

[bleak pike]

• Crimson Desert
• Life is strange
• Marathon (More I can't wait to watch it crash and burn )
• Lego Batman looks fun
• Danger mouse
• Forza Horizon 6
• Game of Thrones
• Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra
• Star Wars: Galactic Racer

Safe to say 2026 is packed

[bleak pike]

Haha this

[nimble current]

none of those sound particularly interesting to me

[vapid lintel]

Ooeh neat!

[bleak pike]

Unlike SA

[stiff fiber]

Apart crimson desert and lego batman none of the game attract me

[cold anvil]

I feel like rdr2’s gameplay (gun wise) couldve been better. Hunting and fishing is really fun! I was going for achievements and one of them is to complete the animal encyclopedia and I didn’t expect to find myself enjoying the hunting and fishing so much at all

[bleak pike]

Yap yap came out today

I wanna play that

[nimble current]

I can have an hour or twos fun of just driving around causing mayhem or tuning up cars, but it doesn't last for much longer than that

[bleak pike]

I just love playing Forza horizon intros

They are so awesome

[nimble current]

I hated the fishing controls, at least on pc

hunting was pretty fun though

[cold anvil]

I played on controller

[stiff fiber]

Forza horizon is good for playing while listening to podcast

[nimble current]

shame the games themselves are so mid

[cold anvil]

Rockstar has a terrible track record with pc bindings lmao

[nimble current]

yeah some binds really were a wtf were they thinking kind of ordeal

[stiff fiber]

My favorite game ever is subnautica but apprently subnautica 2 will not be very good

[nimble current]

like things that could share the same keys/binds as other things when those can't be done anyways wasn't a thing

[bleak pike]

https://youtu.be/aHFlr5zkXRs

My favorite intro to date

[nimble current]

felt like there was new and different keys for half the mechanics

[bleak pike]

Great game

[nimble current]

as soon as I learned there was no coop that game died instantly for me

it has all the ingredients to make an epic coop experience, but it doesn't have it

[stiff fiber]

There is a story like the original creator left or something

Apparently the development is a mess

[nimble current]

yeah I looked into it and apparently it was planned to have it at some point but got abandoned

[cold anvil]

Yeah

[stiff fiber]

What I loved in the first game was not knowing what to do at the beginning and the story starts to make sense by exploring

I gave up twice I think before really getting into it

[cold anvil]

I played subnautica and dropped it after like 12 hours

Not that it was bad

I just have a tendency of dropping games randomly idk

[orchid prism]

Subnautica was great...at first. It really drags out towards the end 😄

The sequel is a mess.

[stiff fiber]

I would say give it another try @cold anvil

[nimble current]

subnautica just wasn't really a game for singleplayer, at least not for what I like as singleplayer games

[cold anvil]

Yeah what I hear of whats going on in the background is awful

[stiff fiber]

And dont be spoiled

[cold anvil]

Yeah I’m willing to, just got some other stuff in my queue

[stiff fiber]

Given that I have no friend playing video game solo is ok

[nimble current]

all the base building, resource management etc made me think too much of games like valheim which I always play as a communal experience, those kind of games just feels wrong to me to play alone lol

[stiff fiber]

Subnautica is different I would say

There is really a story you have to discover

I have so many games in my steam library I did not even play yet 😵‍💫

[nimble current]

I have 93 games on steam in total and I still haven't played like a third of them

[manic owl]

about that

[orchid prism]

Hrm... didn't get the ending I was expecting. But I kind of had a fear that'd happen, given some really weird 180" conversation options at points. Game definitely doesn't understand consistency 😄

[stiff fiber]

Where can you view that?

[manic owl]

steamdb and then input your steam account

[stiff fiber]

Yeah usually I take some games during the sales but I do not have time to play them or like now I am stucked in arc raiders and I do not play any other games

[stiff fiber]

Thank you

[manic owl]

they will also show steam trends etc who plays what

[stiff fiber]

I used it in the past to check for prices

To see if a sale was the best sale ever

UE5 clearly a seal of quality

[sinful cobalt]

This game is one of those that runs okay

[compact oriole]

ye idk why you think its a good idea to advertise tech in an rtx 5090 40 fps engine

[sinful cobalt]

I played the beta it was running very well on my pc tho

[compact oriole]

is demo/beta still available?

[sinful cobalt]

I don’t know

[compact oriole]

nothing on the steampage

[sinful cobalt]

But i did played it

[compact oriole]

have had it on my wl for a while. hopefully its gonna be good

[sinful cobalt]

I got like 70-90fps maxed out settings for no real reason

[compact oriole]

oh nice. what gpu and what res?

[sinful cobalt]

9070 at 1440p

I think i have some pictures somewhere

Yeah i had sent a few here

[compact oriole]

is that with ray tracing?

well, UE5s implementation of that

[sinful cobalt]

I think yeah

[compact oriole]

interesting

curious to see the game

wish i had seen the beta

didnt even know there was one

[sinful cobalt]

It is interesting game

I did sign up after i think they showed it

[mellow garden]

@scarlet marlin I’ve unlocked some cooking recipes but I see there’s wheat and carrots. How do I grow/obtain those?

[compact oriole]

honestly im kinda annoyed that steam wont notify you for like game betas, tests n shit when you wishlist them. feels like a nobrain feature

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah that would be cool

[little cape]

👀

[compact oriole]

has it not been on sale yet at all?

[little cape]

not from knowledge

on steam

maybe on other sites

[bleak pike]

Probably because it got soft cracked

[compact oriole]

i was thinking about that too lol

[little cape]

Guess their Canada branch survived.

You want an invite?

[unkempt ocean]

just not sure how gud or alive the community is

[small comet]

i played it a bit when invites first appeared but couldnt really get into it

[hardy merlin]

I mean game good, I liked it

[unkempt ocean]

an invite?

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, you need an invite to start playing

[small comet]

iirc its still invite only unless this changed

[unkempt ocean]

o damn sure, id really appreciate it

[vapid lintel]

Still? lol

[small comet]

yes

[hardy merlin]

Aite, gimme a second
Add me on Steam

[unkempt ocean]

i made it when i was like 6 i think

[hardy merlin]

[small comet]

so rename your profile?

[vapid lintel]

Now I'm curious...

[hardy merlin]

Account names are not visible

[unkempt ocean]

aw hell nah

[small comet]

ye was about to say profile names and url names can be changed

[unkempt ocean]

bro was an emo kid

im swapping it insta

[small comet]

after some time the old profile name list will also delete/remove names from the history

[sinful cobalt]

[small comet]

so you could easily get rid of it

[unkempt ocean]

sent an request

[hardy merlin]

Got it
Gimme like 3 minutes till game finishes downloading

[sinful cobalt]

these old names

[scarlet marlin]

honestly cooking was added after I started playing, so but Im guessing it comes from the store :) or you get the seeds and you grow it yourself

[small comet]

apparently its like 3 years or so until the name disappears on its own

[narrow junco]

You can also change the name back and forth slightly to fill up the list

[small comet]

theres a clear aliases button now?

[sinful cobalt]

yeah looks like it

[novel estuary]

That’s been there forever

[small comet]

back in my day it wasnt

[sinful cobalt]

when i created my account in 14 it was already i think

[small comet]

damn

i should change my name more often i guess

[mellow garden]

I think seeds are from the boat tours

From what I can tell

[unkempt ocean]

tf2 still my top 2 games played despite not touching it for years

man those were great times

[trim rock]

Yes

[unkempt ocean]

i didnt pass the introduction walkthrough

[hardy merlin]

Meat your Match was an update which finished the TF2

Invite sent

[sinful cobalt]

[hardy merlin]

End of the Line was peak TF2, where it was at its best imo
Then they've added weapon skins, which I guess... cool?
But then they've added comp mode and nerfed all cool weapons and... eh...

[mellow garden]

This 9 AM meeting is boring 😪

[sinful cobalt]

tbh comp was one of the worst

theyre apparently doing some story stuff now

[quiet vault]

the story will evolve through ingame events

whatever that means

[sinful cobalt]

Tbh i do wish if OW2 had that PVE mode

[quiet vault]

it had a few missions

just not a lot

[mellow garden]

There’s irony in Overwatch originating as an MMO project.

[bleak pike]

I meant pve stuff

[quiet vault]

ye the original plans of project titan are weird 😭

[bleak pike]

Actual story missions

[quiet vault]

unlikely

id prefer like a show

[bleak pike]

Thats why im still mad

A show would be great too

[quiet vault]

atleast one more cinematic this year it seems

who knows whats at blizzcon

[sinful cobalt]

[bleak pike]

The game removed the 2 right

[quiet vault]

I dislike 5v5

I hate the robot game mode

I just want to go back

[quiet vault]

noooo

[bleak pike]

The one that pushes something

[quiet vault]

yep its peak

[bleak pike]

Despise it

[quiet vault]

i hate everything with carts

[quiet vault]

i think they tested the actual interest more then enough

which is why they landed on the 6v6 open queue mode

[bleak pike]

They won't get proper results unless it's put into the main mode

Being a separate mode is lame

[quiet vault]

you got so many rewards for playing the 6v6 versions and all

its just not as popular

[bleak pike]

Probably because most players who liked it stopped playing years ago

[quiet vault]

so why would they add it back then

[bleak pike]

So we can come back

[quiet vault]

i prefer 5v5

[quiet vault]

enough chances (and its still in the game rn so)

just no locked 2 2 2

[bleak pike]

The classic OW mode was fun I'll admit but bastion pissed me off, It brought me back in time in a bad way 😂

[quiet vault]

although there are also still people that say they prefer no role locks at all

[quiet vault]

i liked genji in it

felt op

[bleak pike]

Adding lootboxes back was a very good kocw

Feels weird saying that

But it's the only game I didn't mind them

[quiet vault]

we getting more old features back in a way

I don't like the skin prices tbh

And most skims being unobtainable outside of mtx

BL2 was the last good one

[young hill]

oh i just noticed that is 4 lol

remember it will play at 4k on the steam machine den if its verified

[narrow junco]

runs as good on steam deck as any other pc

[young hill]

unreal engine 5 technically should not immediately hot garbage

[hardy merlin]

There are games on UE5 that run beautifully
some of them

[young hill]

how shocking

i know for SCUM the developers are adamant about using unreal engine 5, and they pushed the envelope of 4

[narrow junco]

only UE5 game i havent had inexplicable issues with is E33

[little cape]

halo 1 campaign evolve wont be one of them ..........|| ||

[narrow junco]

even satisfactory has some really weird shit goin on all the time

[young hill]

but but the twitching was from early build

[hardy merlin]

Problem is that Nanite and Lumen can create a beautiful graphics, but only if you take some time and optimize your game for them, along with light sources, LODs, models, textures, everything
And of course management at AAA company won't want to hear about it, just slap it on top and tell people to get 5090

[young hill]

last part checks out

[compact oriole]

just gotta be a premium gamer

[narrow junco]

my favorite AAA moment is upper management at capcom clearly asking devs to add microtransactions so they always add something that makes no sense and nobody will ever buy

[hardy merlin]

Sorry, I can't hear you over DLCs to MH Wilds

[fathom swift]

Oh look, the same 5 heroes got another skin again... wait... is that LUCIO???

[quiet vault]

Mercy too old for ts

[stiff fiber]

smh when I mind my own business in arc raiders and people attack you, and then you defend yourself, and then you end up in in more agressive map for the next games

[hardy merlin]

But the memory and storage shortages you've likely heard about across the industry have rapidly increased since then. The limited availability and growing prices of these critical components mean we must revisit our exact shipping schedule and pricing

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-no-god-please-no-gif-4323089249696385205

[mellow garden]

It’ll be $1000 USD

[hardy merlin]

CS skins will pay for it

Just gimme the CUBE

[mellow garden]

It’s dead on arrival at those prices

[hardy merlin]

yee

I think Valve will change their mind about not subsidizing it

[mellow garden]

They won’t

Even consoles aren’t subsidised anymore

Gamers need to adjust their pricing expectations

"ayo this game is free on epic, lemme rather go spend money on steam tho"

[hardy merlin]

I did that several times

[stiff fiber]

I only wait for the steam controller

[compact oriole]

best way to do it

[fallow bronze]

its a win for the game dev right?
they get money for the game to be free, and then also get more sales

i dont get the issue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

They really are that good at stealing hearts

[stiff fiber]

One game before we played solo against the matriarch, then the next game we were in trio on the same map absolutely no team was interested by the matriach, it was all about killing other raiders

[grizzled quarry]

Im fine with the pvp im wanting that, I just hate how disgustingly strong the venator is

[mellow garden]

This is too deep for me, I didn’t pick up ACNH for the motivational speech.

[fading spade]

I'm upset :"(
Steam Hardware launch is being delayed ;_;

[nimble current]

so is most other computer hardware

at least for us consoomers

[mellow garden]

Do you want a $1000 USD Steam Machine?

[mellow garden]

We don’t have live chat in the UK and I’ve been too busy to phone them.

[maiden tulip]

I'll call them

I got u

[mellow garden]

AdHoc can go fuck themselves, the entire situation is unnecessary.

I was looking forward to playing Dispatch on the Switch 2, it’s my main gaming system at this point.

[hardy merlin]

They could release JP and ROW versions, it wouldn't take a lot of resources

But oh no, someone can see a cartoon boob, oh noe

[manic owl]

genuinely there is barely any nudity in the game

[mellow garden]

It’s me, I want to see Invisigal’s boobs.

[manic owl]

understandable

[mellow garden]

But NOOOOOO, they had to go and RUIN it.

[manic owl]

i think otherwise its a peak game for the switch

[nimble current]

aren't there like pretty lewd anime games on switch already

[mellow garden]

There’s a lot of indie games that I’m looking forward to eventually getting a Switch 2 release.

Valheim is going to be cool.

[nimble current]

hope they polish up the optimization for release

it can chug quite a lot even on pc particularly around built up areas

[manic owl]

some say so but im not sure

[mellow garden]

I wonder if we’ll get Enshrouded on Switch 2 in the future?

[nimble current]

I want valheim 1.0

its been 5 years since I started playing the early access

[manic owl]

i still am curious how well cyberpunk 2077 runs on the switch 2 and how they censored the game or if it does not apply?

[maiden tulip]

Adhoc saying they "cant legally explain why they didn't do that"

Is very funny

[hardy merlin]

CBP77 is only censored in Japan, ROW get uncensored version

[maiden tulip]

My guess is they signed a contract with their publisher

Which was like 1 switch version

[manic owl]

id guess so yes

[maiden tulip]

Because nintendo themselves said it all depends on every regional shit and isn't about nintendo's guidelines

Its about local guidelines lol

I think they only got the licensing funds for 1 version not 2

And they just hoped no one would question it

[mellow garden]

The gameplay shown in the Nintendo Direct looked like 60 FPS

Not much to go by though

https://youtu.be/cn6-32C96k4

[manic owl]

japanese publishers are not easy to work with according to running with scissors

[mellow garden]

Pretty sure it’s self-published on all platforms

[manic owl]

then im not sure why adhoc is not doing a japan only version

[nimble current]

yeah just roaming around the performance is usually fine but once you've built a little village and decorated it nicely the fps tends to take a dive

hoping they manage to improve that at least somewhat

[mellow garden]

I hope there’s cross-platform multiplayer

[young hill]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/668580/view/493842084753572362?l=english

[nimble current]

best way to play valheim imo is putting up a server and do the playthrough with a couple mates

[mellow garden]

Done that several times

We’ve done Enshrouded, but we’re now waiting for 1.0

[nimble current]

we just agree to do the bosses together then everyone can do whatever in between

with enshrouded you kinda have to do everything together or you'll end up with a bunch of stuff others unlocked for you if they did any quests in your abscense

[mellow garden]

I’m playing Enshrouded solo once it finally reaches 1.0

[young hill]

i raise you white air jordans

Release Date

Mar 5, 2026

Crazy it got a remaster

[cold anvil]

I just beat signalis for the first time, idk how to feel

Good game though

[outer pollen]

I hated the 2nd half of the game

But cool game

[cold anvil]

It dragged on for a bit but the ending and final boss was good and satisfying

I died the first time on the boss and the 2nd time I locked in cause there was no way I was gonna do this long ass boss fight again when it’s already close to 2 in the morning

Anyways February is gonna be resident evil month for me

Gonna try and play through as many of the games I havent played yet (besides 7 and 8) before re9 comes out

Atleast mainline games

Tbh idk how I’m gonna do it actually I’m just winging it

@scarlet marlin do the reaction noises/emotes matter when gifting items? Or is the response purely just the text? Sometimes I gift items and they use the shocked emote but I keep interpreting that as a bad response.

[scarlet marlin]

sometime its a 'shock' cause the gift is so great

but going of the text, what theyre saying, is the best indication to know if they like it or not

[mellow garden]

too many

[manic owl]

yes but who is greenlighting them?

[small comet]

chatgpt

and the 100eur people give steam to make it a game on steam

and if you mean bigger studios... its marketing keywords, investors and then the downturn of investors not understanding how long it actually takes to make a game and companies being required to generate profits for the shareholders due to some fiduciary duty

omelette du fromage

[hardy merlin]

I have (once again) caused gamers to react strongly... I have observed a great deal of misunderstanding. Therefore, I will be clear. The facts: I have always supported video games and pop culture—the industry, creativity, culture, and jobs. I honored French esports at the Élysée Palace and made commitments to structure the sector and attract major events to France, which we have done. We have decorated the Sandfall teams and, better still, I support the participation of our teams (Karmine, Vitality, Gentle Mates, etc.) in the creation of a French national team around video games for a world competition. There are so many French gems that have a global influence! We can be very proud of that. But supporting an industry and a culture does not preclude asking a simple question, without caricature: what are the effects of certain content and certain uses on the youngest members of society? Parents have noticed that some young people spend their days and sometimes their nights playing games. It has also often been reported that games rated PEGI 18 are being played by children. This is a major public health, education, and responsibility issue. In terms of physical health, particularly eye health, and mental health, when a young person no longer goes outside because they are playing excessively, this is obviously a cause for concern and we must address it. What I announced at Brut, in response to this teacher who was shouting her anger, was not a ban on video games. This is a major public health, education, and responsibility issue. For physical health, especially the eyes, and mental health, when a young person stops going outside because they are playing excessively, of course this is worrying and we need to address it. What I announced on Brut, in response to this teacher who was shouting her anger, was not a ban on video games: it was the launch of a scientific, collegial effort to face reality. Calmly, lucidly, and with all stakeholders. It is our responsibility to ask researchers, scientists, and clinicians to assess the impacts, sort through preconceived notions, and inform the public debate. That is exactly what I am doing: I am opening a serious, informed, and calm debate, which I hope will be free of shortcuts. It is possible to love video games, to be proud of them, and at the same time to look without taboo at certain practices and their effects.

I feel like the best way to make people go outside is just make outside as fun as the games children are playing... which is hard when parents have to pay $30 entrance fee.

And whole cities are dedicated to cars, so there's no infrastructure for kids to spend time, no third places either

I mean parents can and should just take their kids electronics?

[hardy merlin]

Parents should parent, not rely on school and internet to raise the child
On one hand parents don't care about their children upbringing, on the other they are hell-bent to control where they are and what they are

[mellow garden]

Parents can’t always parent when the parental controls are non-existent or it’s the bare minimum functionality.

Traditional TV would never get away with being as unmoderated as Twitch, for example, is.

[compact oriole]

you can control what your kids do in your house wdym

[nimble current]

my brother got timelocks and remote locks on every smart device his kids have

[compact oriole]

you dont have to let your kids scroll tiktok and all that other shit all day

[nimble current]

and for most part they tolerate it

but will eventually get old enough to figure out how to cirumvent it

[compact oriole]

wdym they tolerate it. apparently they cant change it atm

so they have to deal with it

parenting nowadays

[maiden tulip]

you could have asked me to translate ):

ASKING AI RATHER THAN ME

i see how it is

[compact oriole]

welcome to the real world

[maiden tulip]

IM BEING REPLACED

[hardy merlin]

I would never make a fren use French

[compact oriole]

[nimble current]

as in not constantly throwing a fit over it

[compact oriole]

well if thats your reality, youll stop throwing em eventually

[maiden tulip]

I think parents should stop being paranoid and let their kids roam around again

[compact oriole]

well times also changed

[maiden tulip]

Not really

The only thing that changed is parents got paralyzed by fear

[nimble current]

my childhood time at the computer was largely unsupervised back when you could sorta get away with that as a parent

[maiden tulip]

Fear that is irrational

[iron oak]

I was watching YouTube and stuff around the time of pre-adpocloapse

And there are tools via ISP to prevent sites being acesssd

[nimble current]

ngl given the amount of misinfo, brainrot and ai slop there is on the internet these days I'd be terrified to leave my kid for 5 mins on there unregulated

[maiden tulip]

Like back in my day kids were outside unsupervised doing whatever

Parents didnt really give a shit

[nimble current]

my youtube account is 20 years old this year

[iron oak]

that’s crazy

[nimble current]

it predates the google acquisition

[maiden tulip]

i wasn't smart enough to make an account

Shit takes like 3 clicks

Big effort

[iron oak]

What makes me nervous is a lot of these privacy/child focused laws are really just about control

And sure one government may have the best interest in mind for their people another not so much

[nimble current]

you'd be drunk and mad to think these degenerates give a flying fuck about the children given what they've been up to in those files

[bleak pike]

I had an og YouTube account but I think it got merged with my Google?

[nimble current]

it is yes

Idk If I’m just a fat idiot but resident evil 1 is a lot longer than I expected

I’m still on my chris redfield playthrough 11-12 hours in

I thought I would’ve be done by now

[cold anvil]

Wait that might be an exaggeration hold up

maybe a couple hours less

[lone cosmos]

[lone cosmos]

[fading spade]

THERES A FUCKING NVIDIA SHIELD VERSION OF NEW SUPER MARIO BROS???!!!!!

DAMN THIS QUIZ IS HARD

[cold anvil]

Ok I looked it up (not hours it takes to beat the game) but it appears that chris and jill basically goes through the same gameplay and that there really isnt much of a difference with minor story beat changes and that jill is much easier to play so I’m gonna skip the jill playthrough

If I ever do wanna go for achievements then I’ll do it sure

But that really isnt my goal for my “resident evil month”

It’s just to get more of an understanding of the story by playing through the games I havent before resident evil 9 comes out

[orchid prism]

But but Jill sandwich!

[cold anvil]

Quite a compelling argument…..

Would pay good money for a Switch 2 Edition of Fall Guys

I know it’s F2P

At least the Switch 1 version was patched to run at 60 FPS but the draw distance is still low. Not to mention the half-rate refresh for background beans is about 2 meters in front of you.

Maybe they could even make a 120 Hz mode.

[cold anvil]

Done

Before the latest Monster Hunter Wilds update, a star anise on a random table was accidentally using a 2048x4096 texture. It was replaced by another much smaller 64x64 one recently as part of Capcom's performance fixes.

I genuinely don't get the mindset required to build something like this on 2B2T. Just for it to be griefed in minutes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4A3nrRif10
DSP is a pretty great game. 😄

[small comet]

the mindset is to have done it without it being griefed before completion

[orchid prism]

I suppose so. Still... I'd hate to see it ruined after months of hard work.

[small comet]

they usually world dl it

[orchid prism]

Can't wait to get rid of this shanty town. Just tiny apartments stacked on top of each other.

Slow going, but we survived the first winter. So now we can retask a lot of the workforce to build more homely homes.

[vapid lintel]

Is that whisker wood?

[orchid prism]

Sure is.

A weird and wonderful mix of Rimworld (traits), Dwarf Fortress (diggy diggy hole) and Timberborn. With a dash of Colonization (Your cat overlords keep demanding tribute)

[vapid lintel]

Dali approves

[mellow garden]

Mac is trying to sell me furniture… he’s really lives like this

[vapid lintel]

What a nice guy, willing to offer you luxury while he relegates himself to squalor

[orchid prism]

You can excavate mountains and build inside. Pollution becomes a concern though. And there's also temperature. Bonfires is a great way to choke mice 😄

And much later you can begin to do the Factorio/Satisfactory thing with automated belt lines, chutes and whatnot.

[fading spade]

Why does the water have question marks?

[vapid lintel]

That's overhead mountain

[orchid prism]

Yeah it's basically unknown rock. Could be stone, could be metal.

You start on an island in the center of an area of islands. Bit like Anno but more compressed. You can either bridge over to other islands (ferries maybe? Dunno), or do the dwarf thing and dig under the sea and connect them up.

A big part of paying taxes longterm seems to be turning raw ore into bars and tools. Classic colonization mechanics apply - Valuables are better than trying to ship bulk logs and rock.

And eventually a little tea party perhaps.

[fading spade]

Hehe

[hot spire]

you built it in creative then use bots to place the blocks

[orchid prism]

That's not the point - It's the whole temporary state of things. After that much work - with mods or not (and duped materials), that's just... sad 😄

(No I don't really get the 2B2T mentality as a whole, heh)

Hrm... UI is flickery and glitchy. So much for a remaster. 😄

[hot spire]

if you want a real 90s rts remaster play openra

[orchid prism]

Affiremativvve

Was never really into RA or C&C

[hot spire]

yeah but even so, you can seen how well openra works

[orchid prism]

I fail to see how that makes my WC2 Remaster less shit 😛

[hot spire]

it makes wc2 remaster worse

[orchid prism]

Okay? Still irrelevant to my issue.

[hot spire]

openra is feature complete, and is foss. Fucking blizzard couldnt even make a paid product half as good.

[orchid prism]

This piece of bread is kind of stale
You should try soup! That'll make your bread look even worse!
I wanted bread, not soup

[hot spire]

im talking about the engine though, not the content.

the engine is comparable

[orchid prism]

Great. Go discuss the engine with someone who wants to. I am only interested in making my WC2 playable 😛

[nimble current]

dip the bread in the soup

[orchid prism]

[vapid lintel]

Turn the bread into a bowl for the soup

[fallow bronze]

Total annihilation still works

[hot spire]

you tried bar?

[fallow bronze]

Worked on win 10

But bar is a better experience

[orchid prism]

Halfway through condensing my poor mice into better housing that stone coffins.

[bleak pike]

That looks fun

Ngl

[orchid prism]

If you like Timberborn and such games, sure.

[maiden tulip]

I've been lied to, ball x pit's new endless mode does have an end it's called if you play for hours and collect every item that spawns baby balls in the entire game and combine them all with lasers you can make your game crash lol

My poor switch
