[slender bluff]

anyone else having a bug where nvidia alt + z just doesn't open the overlay

[mellow garden]

I have the perfect gift to give Alfonso in ACNH, a Tee with Silicone Bib

[bleak pike]

Not a bug

It's a feature

[grizzled quarry]

Yeah it just doesnt work sometimes

If its for clipping just use obs 🔥

[slender bluff]

you think its more optimal?

[grizzled quarry]

Its way better

Shadowplay is shit

Only downside to obs, you gotta remember to turn it on...

Lost quite a few clips forgetting to turn it on

[bleak pike]

It really isn't

[bleak pike]

This alone and having it run all the time.

I really don't like OBS for clips, shadow play used to be so good but the new version is garbage

[green dune]

Does Beat Saber hit detection break when you are online?

[bleak pike]

Is there official online yet

It used to be mod only

[grizzled quarry]

it literally always had issues

the amount of times shadowplay just decided to stop working when literally nothing was wrong

[green dune]

Has been for several years.

It's been around for 6 years, the game itself for 7.

[bleak pike]

Eh it was much rarer for me before the new one

[young hill]

bruh

[young hill]

frieren and i have at least one habit in common

@hot spire

[hot spire]

[cold anvil]

Been hearing that Re9 was confirmed to be around 16-18 hours long…….

Big if true

[sinful cobalt]

I mean RE:village where already 12 hours long

[buoyant osprey]

It better be good then. I've had it with long mediocre entries

Silent Hill 2 demake was really long and boring

[lucid brook]

I've tried playing SHf and it wasn't that great, it was just enemy spam, but the atmosphere was alright

[buoyant osprey]

I haven't gotten far in F. It's somehow even worse to play than 2 demake

Might just uninstall it. It's far too shitty

I feel bad for people that get into the series through these games

[lucid brook]

Don't get me wrong, the visuals are great, but that was about it for me

I remember getting stuck on one of the puzzles quite early in the game, because I wasn't able to find the correct number

[buoyant osprey]

My game has visual bugs

I find the setting dumb. It's not SH at all. The Yapanese 60s thing doesn't interesting me but slapping Silent Hill onto it just makes it even dumber

The combat is awful

She dodges quicker than a Bloodborne character

[lucid brook]

I feel like there was way too much combat, felt more like a fighting game sort of 😅

[buoyant osprey]

Yes it's really annoying and a bad direction to take

[lucid brook]

Also the combat was just about draining sanity or whatever the focus thing was called, hold focus, wait, parry and repeat

[buoyant osprey]

The freeze when you hit is also very dumb and makes the game worse

[cold anvil]

Silent hill fans try not to hate every entry that is not the original SH2 challenge

[buoyant osprey]

Nice made up scenario. Too bad it applies to no one here

[cold anvil]

Ain’t you the same guy that supports ai slop that is actively causing the price of pc parts to go up

Goodnight nerd

[buoyant osprey]

I don't know what you're referring to but I know it has nothing to do with SH

Btw my favourite SH is 4 not 2

[lucid brook]

Just looked up the metacritic of SHf, this user review perfectly describes it

[buoyant osprey]

I think it would be better if it weren't a SH game

And if it weren't a SH game I'd never have downloaded it to try it, saving myself time

[compact oriole]

shf seemed like an attempt to add some souls like flair to it

[buoyant osprey]

Every game needs that!

[compact oriole]

certainly

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is already my most played Switch game. That’s after putting 80 hours into Pokémon Legends: Z-A last year.

TLDR; Don't do the math on Factorio vehicles. They make absolutely no sense, when you look into it 😄

I particularly enjoy the tank being able to reach +400KM/H and taking a full 15 seconds to break at that speed 😄

Who needs a gun turret, when you can become death, destroyer of bugs by simply ramming through the base.

[fathom swift]

Finished my terraria playthrough of the new update. Its really good tbh

Apart from killing golem 31 times and plantera 32 times before I got the item I needed

[buoyant osprey]

I haven't finished it but it's also my worst game of 2025 easily peasily. Also the worst SH that I have played

[maiden tulip]

Did you get to the arm

[fathom swift]

Can't wait for a bloodborne remake to not be announced

[buoyant osprey]

I don't want a remake. I just want a port

I'd be fine with a port that is simultanously a remaster (not remake) as long as it is totally faithful and doesn't ruin the look of the game like DS1 remastered

[stiff fiber]

It seems that these days I am only impressed by games I did not even know were coming out or I was not expecting them like arc or expedition

[nimble current]

yeah most of the best games these days are seemingly the ones released without much prior hype or fanfare

anyone have game recommendations? Not bothered what genre just need something to add to my rotation

[vital wren]

uhhh elden ring, sekiro, dark sould 1-3, nier automata, remnant 1/2, hollow knight -> silksong, silent hill 2, the last of us 1/2 and last but not least cyberpunk 2077

all great games imo

[lone cosmos]

played all of them

[vital wren]

[buoyant osprey]

Demon's Souls?

[vital wren]

how about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 or lies of P? I didn't played them yet but they are for sure on my gotta play list

[lone cosmos]

played on ps5

[buoyant osprey]

Oh but I meant the actual one not the fake one

[vital wren]

also silent hill f

[lone cosmos]

hmm

[outer pollen]

Dredge

[vital wren]

and I heard Satisfactory should be good too

[lone cosmos]

changing my skates brb

[buoyant osprey]

King's Field 1, 2, 3 or 4. All good imo
Shadow Tower 1 and Abyss (2), not as good, but also feels the most like proto-Souls
All of these games have to be emulated

[hardy merlin]

DO NOT play Satisfactory
It's not a game
It's an addiction, a disease

[lone cosmos]

is it a tism/adhd trap?

[vital wren]

I think so

a expanding factory

That was fast

[orchid prism]

The what now?

[hardy merlin]

Release a fighting game

• with 12 champs, where only 2 are free
• with little to no marketing
• with buggy mechanics
• but fully working microtransactions store
  What could go wrong

[compact oriole]

i found out today the game was released because i read about them firing people cz it failed

[compact oriole]

well the champs thing is just like in league and riot is.. riot. they dont need marketing. the game just wasnt what people wanted

valorant and tft had just as little marketing

[hardy merlin]

TFT was a mode in league at first, so yeah, people who played in league marketed TFT themselves
And Valorant had HUGE marketing campaign, they got almost every CS streamer to stream Valorant in closed beta, made access as drops so a ton of people watched streams boosting it to #1 on Twitch for weeks, there were even ads on TV and in some countries in radio

[compact oriole]

tft was a mode in league?

[vital wren]

It's still kinda in LoL

[hardy merlin]

Ye, but not as just mode anymore

They dropped it as a test after they saw how popular Dota Underlords became, after it exploded because of Dota Chess

[manic owl]

id say you having to watch streamers for a key to drop to get early access was a hype campaign itself

[compact oriole]

they copied it from the dota autochess mod and so did valve with underlords. just that underlords completely died and volvo stopped working on it

[hardy merlin]

Underlords had so much potential
They took too long to release a "proper" version, hype died and people moved to TFT

[compact oriole]

their dev was too slow. prolly too few people on it

meta got stale quickly

people all tryna play the same shit every game

wonder if theres still a big dota auto chess mod in the game that people play instead

[manic owl]

how long do we give highguard?

[vital wren]

Well League sucks anyway imo, thats why I play it

[compact oriole]

if they REALLY try. end of 2027. but probably this year

[vital wren]

Idk maybe the same time as Concord?

[compact oriole]

concord was literally 2 weeks tho

[hardy merlin]

They have 5k peak nowadays, they need a solid rework of basic mechanics, but if they want to keep it going it's doable
5v5 was a good idea to introduce, but they don't have enough heroes to make it viable

[manic owl]

interesting heros are like eh

this is depressing

[compact oriole]

highguard is what you get when suits who dont understand games decide on just taking copying current trends and mashing it together

[hardy merlin]

Meanwhile Deadlock is top 5 on Steam right now

[compact oriole]

that last patch with the 6 new heroes and the new game mode completely revived it

[hardy merlin]

Though even at its lowest it has 15k CCU

[manic owl]

Im just tired of live service games , hell the new horizon game from sony also looks to be one

[compact oriole]

highguard was concord 2 and that horizon game is concord 4

[orchid prism]

I love the Timberborn approach to stacking buildings on top of each other. This is rowhouses stacked in two layers for a bit of height and a mediterranean feel.

[hardy merlin]

Sony tries really hard to get a piece of live service cake

[compact oriole]

they completely all inned on live service. thats why ps5 inhouse games have been so dead. they put their big studios on that shit just to cancel almost all of em

[hardy merlin]

Sony is too corporate to understand what makes people stick to live service games
They just want to throw money at IP and collect more money

[manic owl]

What about marathon? Will that be 3

[compact oriole]

yes

[compact oriole]

well the guy who put sony on that path dipped when he saw the writing on the wall lol

[manic owl]

Yeah its crazy that out of 3 launched games gran turismo 7 is one of their live service games

[compact oriole]

its so sad because unironically sony was putting out quality AAA singleplayer games

[hardy merlin]

Marathon may steal some players from Arc Raiders, but Embark guys are geniuses when it comes to interacting with community, and Bungie... oh, Bungie...

[compact oriole]

i think marathon will have an almost identical trajectory to highguard playercountwise

[manic owl]

Yes

[hardy merlin]

Bungie players with Stockholm syndrome will keep it just barely alive

[compact oriole]

thing is i shit on marathon all the time because i think its the worst design ive ever seen, but i was lowkey rooting for it to be good because i enjoy fps a ton more than 3rd person shooters

[manic owl]

I remember when bungie still made halo games

[compact oriole]

i remember when people werent always shitting on bungie

probably pre acti blizz acquisition

[manic owl]

I mean 343 games kinda dunked on halo aswell its just not the same

[hardy merlin]

Because they were amazing

Now the only thing that's left is only name

[compact oriole]

man thats most AAA studios these days

[manic owl]

I just hope gta6 will deliver

[quiet vault]

Forza

[hardy merlin]

GTA6 will be either the best game ever or total flop, nothing in between
Still, will make all the money back in first week tops

[compact oriole]

i dont see gta failing unless they completely forgot their roots and watered the whole game down for a wider (modern) audience

it just fucking sucks that theyre STILL releasing console ahead of pc..

[manic owl]

its a fear that is not unfounded with current HR writing in games

[hardy merlin]

I'm buying a huge bag of popcorn when it releases though
The amount of "alpha males real gamers" that will complain it's "woke" will skyrocket, and I like circus

[manic owl]

i mean the question is if that complaint it valid because historically gta never pulled punches on anyone its what makes the game work

[compact oriole]

they also always had tons of representation already

so if people cry about "woke" now its cz the story or character writing would be about their "identities" instead of them just being part of a bigger world

[manic owl]

that is my main gripe, its just token characters thrown in there to satisfy some checklist not because they make sense

[compact oriole]

the choice of characters is tangible for people to to think they see a problem but the actual issue is shitty writing.

did noone give a shit that arkane is 80% strong and or muscular women

[manic owl]

imo cyberpunk 2077 showed you can write decent characters and any sane person will enjoy them regardless of identity

[compact oriole]

that was gonna be my next example

doesnt get more colorful than cp77 and no normal person complained

[manic owl]

yeah very diverse cast but out of natural story writing and world setting

[compact oriole]

they were well written characters in an interesting world

[manic owl]

cyberpunk is the last AAA that impressed me despite its bugs

[compact oriole]

thats what these new age self insert millenial writers dont understand

think the only other AAA games i enjoyed in recent years were asian. fromsoft stuff

[vital wren]

Honestly it was sad how it got released, I am just happy it's pretty playable without any big bugs

[manic owl]

I played day one it was playable but undercooked , the great and emotional writing was there from day one

[compact oriole]

it got so much hate they werent gonna do dlc and another game and then they brought it back so hard with fixing it and the anime they changed their plans

[vital wren]

Fromsoft is simply goated

[manic owl]

Genuinely id rather have a broken game with a story than a functional game with a broken story

[compact oriole]

i was lucky and even on launch my cp77 exp was really good

[vital wren]

I love Jhonny... such a well written charakter

[compact oriole]

i dont think any other game was as immersive to me as cp77. it being first person and the insanely real movement of the characters and their faces was next level

[manic owl]

I mean

Imo cyberpunk really was peak narrative wise

[orchid prism]

I may have gotten a tad carried away with clutter decoration.

Plumbing! 😄

[exotic musk]

looks really nice mansen

[small comet]

so i assume this also has "bad tides" or droughts or whatever like timberborn?

[orchid prism]

Not quite. Instead you have winters and temperature, a bit like frostpunk.

And of course having to ship certain goods back to your cat overlords to keep them happy, and dealing with pirates who extort you and well.

Fail to pay and the cannons start blasting.

Apparently you can declare independence eventually but I haven't gotten that far.

[ivory dune]

Weee

[hardy merlin]

Well... GG Remedy, it was good to know you https://investors.remedygames.com/?publicationId=c86bbf74-7d56-4b1e-bc4d-56f406fc8258

[orchid prism]

In practice this means balancing your workforce between making things YOU need like food and materials to build and clothe your mice with, with digging for precious metals and growing cotton for your taxes.

In exchange the motherland will send you supply ships (at a cost, refusing repeatedly is bad) with things you need like lumber, clothes, refined materials and schematics for more advanced buildings.

In a nutshell they're trying to keep you in a debt loop, so you keep feeding them the stuff they want, while keeping you poor.

Still funny who thought of making her a cool outfit, but then slap Air Jordans on it

they just vibing and being a bad ass in Jordans, she's just like me fr

cheat engine's actually coming to linux??

that's awesome

You don't make a nice, light outfit and then stick two bricks on feet, it just doesn't match

The only reason i use cheat engine at home to give myself money if i play any need for speed mods with custom mods

I used cheat engine a lot to speed hack in wizard101 until I found out there's a free & open source cheating tool calle deimos

[hot spire]

what is this, df for toddlers?

[orchid prism]

DF with actual depth.

[hot spire]

actualy depth XD, you got good jokes

[orchid prism]

I've said it many times before. DF sorely needs to implement Stonesense.

[hot spire]

is it not turbo laggy with medium to big settlements now?

[orchid prism]

It needs to be optimized of course. Part of the internal render engines.

My point is - It needs an Isometric camera option. Especially since they reworked trees to have branches. Such a visual mess.

[outer pollen]

The house always loses against me

[hot spire]

i mean first party tiles was a big leap

[orchid prism]

I've played too much DF at this point to care for the flat 2D plane. I feel similarly about Rimworld, but it kind of gets away with it cause only one Z level (sadly)

I need my Isometric camera to properly visualize projects, be it 2D sprites or 3D rendering.

Will DF ever have it? Probably not.

[hot spire]

it has basic multiz now

[orchid prism]

Ehhh....

[compact oriole]

i was wondering in which universe players would argue for an uglier ingame model but its actually just about the VA.. "There was an unspoken promise that said ‘we’re going to challenge the beauty standards plaguing [and] ransacking media these days"

i can agree the character looks like many others and the model from the trailer aint even ugly. what is she talking about

[buoyant osprey]

Isn't she meant to be Han Chinese or something? The picture of her older animated form looks like the wrong ethnicity. She looks Iranian there

[compact oriole]

i was wondering that too. why does the chinese character look middle eastern

[buoyant osprey]

I like the old design, but it just looks like an ethnic mismatch

Re3 remake

Just started re5

The games I played so far are
RE1
RE2 re
RE3 re
RE4 re

[buoyant osprey]

Did you play the original RE1 or the remake?

[compact oriole]

iirc 5 and 6 are considered by far the worst

[buoyant osprey]

I find the remake of 3 that he just finished to be the worst I have played in the series

[cold anvil]

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

Re1 HD

It’s more of a remaster

[outer pollen]

nah 5 is peak

[cold anvil]

Gonna do 5, skip 6, 7, and 8

[outer pollen]

6 is trash

[buoyant osprey]

It's a remake but a more faithful one than 2/3/4

[cold anvil]

And if I have time before re9 I’ll try and squeeze in the classics

[outer pollen]

play 0

[cold anvil]

Yeah from what I hear it’s really faithful which is why I’m gonna be skipping the original classic cause I’d practically be playing the same game again

[outer pollen]

It's the best one

[buoyant osprey]

They're definitely different. But at least they are both fantastic games imo

Original is worth playing since it's so iconic and where the series started, but not playing it isn't a crime unlike RE3

I played 1 today actually

[cold anvil]

Those classic styled puzzles really got to me man, it makes me feel like a complete idiot

[buoyant osprey]

Lol

[cold anvil]

RE3 isn’t necessarily bad game, it’s just bad adaptation atleast from what I played because I personally enjoyed it quite a bit

Never played the classic but I am planning to!

[buoyant osprey]

I find it not to be a good game either

The thing is that the game doesn't exist in isolation. So even someone that has never played the original might still play it right after RE2make which is a much better remake as well as standalone game

Being squeezed between 2 and 4 remake makes 3 remake look terrible imo

I have played 21 RE games and I find 3 remake to be the worst one out of those

[cold anvil]

RE2 remake is what introduced me to the franchise in 2023, I picked it up for $10, at the time re4 remake was coming out and since I really liked re2 remake I bought re4 remake and skipped re3 remake entirely (got it in a bundle with re2 re)

[buoyant osprey]

With RE3make you also get RE:Verse or whatever. I have never even opened it. It looks so shitty

[cold anvil]

OH YEAH THAT CAME WITH THE BUNDLE FOR FREE LMAO

[outer pollen]

I love the double character mechanic

and Rebecca

[cold anvil]

Yeah reason I didn’t decide to skip re5 is because a majority of the fanbase seems to vouch for it so why not give it a go

[buoyant osprey]

I think the game has many cool ideas. I like it more than the modern entries but out of the classic RE games (1/2/3/CV/0) it is my second least favourite behind 3

[outer pollen]

The fanbase grew to love it honestly

[buoyant osprey]

That's my profile picture

[outer pollen]

It used to be disliked

[buoyant osprey]

I like it more than 4

[cold anvil]

Sounds like a different fanbase 👀

I only got to play the first chapter on veteran in re5

It has become tradition for me to play resident evil games at the hardest difficulty possible on first playthrough

[buoyant osprey]

You should try professional too. It gets especially horrible later on

[cold anvil]

Maybe….

I am interested in dabbling in some achievement hunting for resident evil games

But my main focus rn is too digest as much resident evil as possible before the release of resident evil 9

Which I pre ordered like 4 months ago

[buoyant osprey]

You should try Code Veronica. It's one of my favourites

[cold anvil]

Yeah for sure

[cold anvil]

Funnily enough I tried doing this like 2-3 months ago and it fell apart so quickly

I just ended up dropping it entirely cause my brain felt like it

Really hate it when I do that

[buoyant osprey]

There are an incredible amount of RE games. I still have not played all of them

Most are meh/not special

[cold anvil]

I’ve been watching quite a few videos about all the scrapped games and ideas behind resident evil

Capcom’s process for making these games seems really interesting

The end product tends to be entirely different from what they were planning

[buoyant osprey]

I know RE1 was going to be first person originally

I find RE1 remake to almost be the perfect game and I have no faith in Capcom ever doing RE1 further justice, but if they do a second remake of RE1 which they will since they are obsessed with cashing in on older titles, they'll probably make it first person

[cold anvil]

I think it could be possible making another remake of re1 and it being good for the most part, tbh only thing I’d like is more clarity for the puzzles for dumb people like me other than vague hints

“Hm it appears there’s something behind the water fall”

I proceed to run around like a braindead moron for an hour before realizing I need to turn the water valve again to stop the flow of water

[vapid lintel]

Always check behind the waterfall

[proper basin]

Wait a few minutes behind the waterfall and a door will open

[vapid lintel]

You may find crunch

[proper basin]

CRUNCH?

[buoyant osprey]

In RE1 you can't without disabling the water

The water is somehow not possible to just walk through

[proper basin]

The water is heavy

[vapid lintel]

To be fair, walking through a waterfall is extremely difficult

Nearly impossible

[proper basin]

Unless your a monk, maybe the re characters should do some meditation

[buoyant osprey]

I don't want it to be good for the most part. I don't really want remakes to be made 99% of the time, but if they are to be made I want them to be fantastic to justify existing

[vapid lintel]

Or if you're a waterbender

[buoyant osprey]

The one in RE1 is fairly small and I doubt it is any powerful at all

Barely any drop

[proper basin]

Unfortunately chris is only a earth bender

[cold anvil]

What really pissed me off is the door animations, Ik they’re there for the “seamless” loading screen in 2001 but cmon man it’s 2025 and I’m playing on an over thousand dollar pc with an ssd!!!!!

[vital wren]

https://tenor.com/view/katara-gif-14625342323969931212

[proper basin]

But the door sfx is spooky

Luigis mansion did it better though

[buoyant osprey]

There are mods to make them skippable

I personally find them important for the experience on a first playthrough

[cold anvil]

Yeah I’m aware. I just wanted an authentic experience

[buoyant osprey]

I have a friend currently playing the RE classics and I told her not to skip any of them her first time around

Fine on replays but the first time they are important imo

[cold anvil]

Yeah I agree

Just in general with unmodified first playthroughs in videogames

Unless it’s a Bethesda game

[mellow garden]

She fell asleep

[cold anvil]

Yeah that does happen

[buoyant osprey]

The RE1 remake remaster is kind of botched sadly

[mellow garden]

I woke her up

[cold anvil]

Leave and act like nothing happened

[buoyant osprey]

A lot of people don't know this (since Steam is vague about it), but the RE1 you see on Steam is a 2015 remaster of the 2002 remake. But the source files of the original were gone, so when they made the remaster they upscaled the backgrounds

So the game suffers from ugly blurry backgrounds with a bunch of black crush as well

[mellow garden]

Too late

[buoyant osprey]

Unlike the remaster of 0 which did not have this issue and looks beautiful

[buoyant osprey]

Also looks a bit duller imo

[mellow garden]

Has Shiva stepped on you?

[outer pollen]

||the Elidibus fight ||

[lone cosmos]

no, we first tried it

just jeed ramuh and whorleater now

[orchid prism]

Extremes Yikes. Couldn't imagine struggling on those for months. Have fun 😄

[lone cosmos]

tbh they are fairly easy, only real issue is i forget some mechanics in certain ones

ramuh is the only semi annoying one alongside thornmarch because you have to weaken 3 times before being allowed to kill them

other than that its meh

[mellow garden]

Stormblood has some annoying extremes that you can't solo because of mechanics

[orchid prism]

Don't you need to do them at level and gear level to get the rewards? With full groups*

[lone cosmos]

stormblood can suck a fat one

(i will find a static to run every single extreme that exists with)

[mellow garden]

No, you can run unsync for mounts.

[lone cosmos]

and unsync for ARR relic stuff

which is perfect for me by the time i hit that point ill be chunking

My subscription runs out in a few days

[quiet vault]

ofc ow got a queue,,,

[cold anvil]

has overwatch gotten better? considering on retrying the game after a couple of years

[quiet vault]

depends on what you didnt like before xd

damn

[cold anvil]

Just distaste for company’s decision making

[iron oak]

it's probably adding more features/things wanted because they now have competition

[quiet vault]

works under microsoft and doesnt seem to be really connected with activision anymore

if that mean anything

[iron oak]

to try and regain market share/ auidence retention they would want to do more

[cold anvil]

Microsoft? That’s interesting

[iron oak]

that also may have influence

[quiet vault]

probably played a part

[compact oriole]

its still ow 2 but its now named ow

[hardy merlin]

Before installing make sure that your breast milk is safe

[iron oak]

why what

[quiet vault]

ow2 was just a really rushed launch

[iron oak]

are they going to steal my breast milk??

[cold anvil]

Thank you for the warning. I needed that ever so desperately.

[hardy merlin]

https://www.dexerto.com/business/nursing-activision-blizzard-employees-say-their-breast-milk-kept-getting-stolen-1717345/

[compact oriole]

lol

[cold anvil]

I didn’t mind the gameplay just the whole fiasco with pve gamemode gave me the ick

[quiet vault]

that was 2023

[iron oak]

THEY TOOK THE BREAST MILK>??? cant believe they went woke /j

[cold anvil]

Yes I am aware, it’s just general distrust since then

Why invest time and money into a game when they could do something like that again?

Yk

[quiet vault]

i see what you mean

but lowkey it was always a pvp shooter

and that old managment is kinda long gone

[cold anvil]

I see

[hardy merlin]

Now they got Microsoft guys, so it's worse

[unkempt ocean]

old management is gone yea

seems like the devs are free now

theyve been pretty hands off

[quiet vault]

outside of like cosmetic distribution and some balance stuff the dev team is pretty well liked in by the community

[unkempt ocean]

microsoft

[hardy merlin]

Good devs ran away long ago too
No real reason to waste time on anything that ActiBlizz shits out

[quiet vault]

they got better devs now lowkey

[compact oriole]

[quiet vault]

okay devs might be the wrong word

leaders xd

the original vision of overwatch was kinda way too big

now its more focused on being a comp pvp hero shooter with story elements

[compact oriole]

sounds like nothing changed

[hardy merlin]

Original vision of Overwatch was just fine
But leadership got cold feet because it wouldn't print as much money as straight PvP with mtx

[quiet vault]

dont think they wanna turn it into an mmo anymore

pvp was kind of a side project in the end

but in the end you just gotta try it if you wanna

see if you have fun or nah

[hardy merlin]

Oh, Titan, I forgot
I thought about PvE story

[stiff fiber]

Guy tell me of I am right. In arc raider a bug was discovered allowing people to duplicate their item. It bas been patched since. It did not recquire an external software, it was just a bug. Now people ask for banning the ones who used this bug. I tell to them it is the fault of embark in producing buggy software, and people should not be banned for using something that embarks allow in their own game. I also say of they ban people for that they will have to reimburse them the price of the game. What do you think?

[fading spade]

https://media.essential.gg/3d1c7eb0-13b1-4f2f-9a87-3ec982c24800

the beessssss <3

[small comet]

they didnt provide it in their game. and usually the EULA/ToS mentions that usage of exploits is punishable to some degree

bugs cant be intentionally provided. that would make them a feature not a bug

[stiff fiber]

Wait it is something that did not recquire an external program

Just something people were doing in the game itself

A bug

They provided it in the game since they produced themselves the code allowing it

[small comet]

thats not how this works

[unkempt ocean]

bug abusing is still exploiting

its not like they just randomly do it by accident

[stiff fiber]

The guy who found it it was probably by accident

[small comet]

and thats fine

[unkempt ocean]

refunds dont make sense

and shouldnt be done

[small comet]

someone discovering a bug is one thing, people abusing an unintentional bug as exploit is another

[unkempt ocean]

its strict but fair

[stiff fiber]

There would be a class action if they banned people without reimbursing for their own bug

[small comet]

no?

[unkempt ocean]

nah

[small comet]

you agree to the EULA/ToS

you cant play without agreeing

[unkempt ocean]

all other games not refund skins boughjt or paid games if u cheat

[stiff fiber]

Yeah but I do not see how doing something allowed in game can cause banning

[small comet]

its not allowed

thats the point

[stiff fiber]

Because this thing was allowed by the code of embark

[small comet]

thats not what makes smth allowed or not

[hardy merlin]

If they abused exploit then ban, if didn't then don't simple

[stiff fiber]

Well it would be like if suddenly they decided that killing was not allowed

[small comet]

thats an intentional game function

you seem to not understand what intentional and unintentional mean

and what a bug/exploit is

and how that differs from intended gameplay

[nimble current]

you could use exploits to access certain locked areas for a while too, that got patched and nobody got banned

[unkempt ocean]

like doing racist stuff in game chat is technically possible

doesnt mean u wont get banned

[stiff fiber]

Exactly nobody is banned because the developpers fucked up themselves

[small comet]

no

you are literally not getting why they didnt get banned

lol

[manic owl]

a eula/tos can be in place but still not be enforceable by law a lot of stuff written actually has no legal footing

[hardy merlin]

You can't fix and cover every single bug, it's impossible

[small comet]

in the case of exploits/cheats this is prob not the case

[stiff fiber]

Ok I will make a prediction nobody will be banned because it is the fault of embark

[small comet]

thats literally not why they wouldnt get banned

jesus

[unkempt ocean]

theyve been banning ive heard

[small comet]

they dont go "oh we f'ed up" but prob "the impact wasnt high so lets not care"

[stiff fiber]

No not a single ban yet

[small comet]

or they go "oh this really messed up peoples experience so lets ban some people who abused it tons"

[unkempt ocean]

https://frvr.com/blog/news/arc-raiders-boss-says-anti-cheat-is-working-with-tens-of-thousands-of-bans-so-far/

[stiff fiber]

I am not talking about that

[unkempt ocean]

oh ic

[hardy merlin]

Say they found the bug
If they didn't use it and did or did not report it to devs then it's fine
If they did use it intentionally then it should be a ban

[unkempt ocean]

they also could just not ban, but banning is within reason and smt they can do definetly

[small comet]

the decision for banning exploit users isnt based on "we messed up" but literally just how the devs and community feel about it (sometimes community is left out in these decisions)

thats how it works in basically all online games

[stiff fiber]

Honestly if they are ban I hope they will do a class action the defense will be very simple: the game embark programmed allowed me to do that, I did it, why am I banned?

[unkempt ocean]

that wont fly

[small comet]

bnother thats not how it works

[hardy merlin]

Because you cannot realistically account for every single bug in the game

[small comet]

are you just not reading in here

[novel estuary]

That dude must be rage baiting you guys

[stiff fiber]

I read but it makes no sense to me

[small comet]

i think he just has tiktok brainrot

[stiff fiber]

I am not I genuinely do not understand why it is the player fault and not embark fault

[unkempt ocean]

nah its makes sense

[novel estuary]

because they keep excessively abusing the bug

[small comet]

because everyone knows its a bug

[hardy merlin]

Something something common sense if that should be game mechanic or not

Do people even use common sense nowadays?

[small comet]

no just tiktok

[stiff fiber]

Ok what if someone who does not play a lot of video game does not know it is a bug and still get banned

[unkempt ocean]

thats just lying

[small comet]

theyd not know how to do the bug

and at best just does it once by accident

[unkempt ocean]

its not something u can do by mistake and u are obiously not supposed to get infinete things

[stiff fiber]

Yeah they will not be banned

[small comet]

they didnt say that

banning is a penalty

just so you know

so is a temp ban

or wipe of the account

[stiff fiber]

The guy who discovered it probably did it by mistake

[unkempt ocean]

yea but thats noit who are to be punished

[small comet]

eh a lot of bugs are discovered by accident

but people usually analyze the accident and then get reproducable setups

[unkempt ocean]

yea mb, im talking abt repeated usage while claiming not knowing its a bug

[small comet]

i also dont know how this bug works exactly but i would assume it also doesnt involve normal steps that could occur during gameplay easily

like specific navigation of menus, specific timings of keypresses and such

[unkempt ocean]

aight back to overwatch i go

[stiff fiber]

Honestly I think someone who is not a gamer who just got arc raider for the hype could have seen this on the web and thought it was ok to do

[small comet]

you wouldnt discover a reproducable setup

[novel estuary]

I think I saw somewhere duplicating involved throwing the item away and causing lag spikes or disconnects or something at the same time so you duplicate when picking them back up when reconnecting

[stiff fiber]

I do not think you have to disconnect

[small comet]

just watched how the glitch worked

[hardy merlin]

1 - Ignorantia iuris nocet, not knowing the law is harmful, same goes for ToS
2 - I'm pretty sure people can use common sense to tell what's a mechanic and what's exploit

[small comet]

you wouldnt discover this normally

[lone cosmos]

Regarding point 2, you would be suprised

[small comet]

put in throwable slot, while holding to be able to throw, split stack, put 1 in other throw slot, put the one your holding onto the other one, split again, put the 1 back on slot 1

how in hell would you discover this in normal gameplay

especially since arc raiders is out a while so this was not just stumbled on either

[hardy merlin]

Still, if ifs and buts were candies and nuts... No reason to dwell what would happen if someone new happened to stumble upon it, because it's very much a case-to-case thing

[lone cosmos]

this is a good point

[small comet]

and yes throwing infinite throwables is definitely smth you can put 1+1 together for it not being the way the game should work

[lone cosmos]

Helldivers 2 flashbacks

[small comet]

"oh it says i have 1 of the item but i can throw it infinite times. that is definitely how its supposed to be even though usually when i dont do this very specific guide of steps it goes from 1 to nothing and i cant throw them anymore"

[unkempt ocean]

generally games are quite lenient on bug abusing and mostly targeting those who share bugs

[stiff fiber]

Well the only thing I have seen in game I entered a room and there was a guy he was throwinb duck everywhere. There were like 100 ducks on the ground. Then he left without saying a word I was speechless

[small comet]

thats not you abusing the exploit though

you dont even know the steps at that point

[stiff fiber]

I did not know about it until tonight

[small comet]

exactly

so the scenario of "what if someone that doesnt game often does it and thinks its normal" is even more ridiculous

[lone cosmos]

could dashboarding in cod games be technically seen as a bug then?

[small comet]

depends on if the devs intended to fix it or not

if they know about it but mark it wont fix its a feature at that point

basically like the double movement in fortnite

where its a bug turned feature

[lone cosmos]

im pretty sure they just started doing match loss prevention if you joined late

but im not sure where that falls regarding as a fix

[stiff fiber]

It remember me the guy who had a successful crypto and there was a bug or something and suddenly ton of coin came out making the price of the coin null

[lone cosmos]

i remember this

[stiff fiber]

It was like 2 years ago

[lone cosmos]

nice thing to turn into a feature tbh

[small comet]

eh they should have renamed it

double movement is a real weird misnomer

[lone cosmos]

i remember the software that was used before it was a actual feature

and that thing was awfully confusing

[lone cosmos]

this just sounds like a rug pull?

[stiff fiber]

Nah the guy went insane when it happened tons of people got their saving lost

[small comet]

well i doubt it was a bug? if coins flood the market then value drops

so its possible it goes to null aka worthless

[vital wren]

i feel summoned

[stiff fiber]

It is what happened yes

[exotic musk]

[lone cosmos]

why did you flood the market coin?

[stiff fiber]

In arc there was a video a guy put a trap on the extraction point. When the player who wanted to extract realized it there were arc around. Then the guy who set the trap shot on the arc to attract them, and he barricaded himself in the room next to the extract

Chicken jockey

[silent sedge]

over throwing popcorn?

[nimble current]

yes

the brainrot must be curbed

[silent sedge]

not that deep

[cyan pewter]

that bag of popcorn was at least $30

theres much better things you can do with $30 than making employees clean up your mess

[compact oriole]

i mean.. they went there specifically to cause damage

[nimble current]

right

just a bunch of shitheads thinking they're funny and making memes when they are actually the living embodiment of cringe

[compact oriole]

throwing around beverages and the popcorn. aint just a guy gonna go through there to get rid of the popcorn on the ground. all seats will have to be deepcleaned and that room will not be usable until they fix it

[nimble current]

at the very least they should be forced to stay and clean up the mess they caused

[compact oriole]

nah

they should be forced to pay for the damages and a fine ontop

that shit aint something a normal cleaning person whos hired to keep the facilities clean will do and those kids couldnt get the job done either with the beverages and sticky popcorn all over the seats

[cold anvil]

Imagine being some teenager tryna get their money and having to work overtime over some stupid meme 😭😭😭😭

[compact oriole]

im pretty sure youll need to hire an actual service to get that cleaned

[cold anvil]

I see.

[outer pollen]

@pure bear they gave me 2 free play boosters

[pure bear]

waow

[bleak pike]

Here that could have been $150 probably

Costs like £9

[compact oriole]

the container for the popcorn or the popcorn itself

[bleak pike]

Both

You can't buy popcorn in bags and if you can it's the same price

I've never been to a cinema where it's not a cardboard box full of ads

[compact oriole]

i was joking about how insanely expensive a bag of corn at the cinema is

last time i went to the movies was the first of the new SWs

[bleak pike]

I lied

In my defense I haven't been cineworld in like 15 years

[compact oriole]

almost nothing comes out anymore where i feel like going there and pay that much for popcorn, a drink and a movie is worth it

[bleak pike]

I haven't bought popcorn most of my life if at all, I bought my friend popcorn a few years ago since he drove us to the cinema.

But I don't count that as I don't eat it XD

[compact oriole]

you dont like popcorn?

[outer pollen]

[bleak pike]

I don't see the point in it.

[outer pollen]

Kettle Corn

[bleak pike]

It doesn't provide much flavor for the price imo

[compact oriole]

so you dont like it enough to pay for it

[bleak pike]

For the price of popcorn I can buy a bunch of junk food

[bleak pike]

I don't eat it even when it's cheap at the shops tbh

[compact oriole]

ok so you dont like it lol

even if its not popcorn. imo the cinema experience is to get some snack for the movie and a drink

[bleak pike]

The only type I really like is toffee but nowhere has ever made it nice.

[bleak pike]

I bring my own

Unless the cinema offers unlimited refills.

I'll fill a little, drink it then fill it up, go in, come out and fill it up before I leave

[compact oriole]

i mean i aint drinking litres of anything while in a 2 hour movie, so ive never even considered needing refills

i dont even know if cinemas here have refills. i dont think so

[outer pollen]

The movies during Covid were peak

5$ tickets and like 2$ popcorn

[bleak pike]

You're crazy for paying these prices if you did

Usually you buy a big cup vs bottles

And they cost like £6

[bleak pike]

They stopped doing it in most here

[compact oriole]

no wonder cinemas are dying. aint noone wanna pay that much for a fucking movie. and the whole value of cinemas has gone down even more with streaming services

[bleak pike]

So I most definitely wont pay £6 for like 750ml

[bleak pike]

Just wait till you see ticket prices

[compact oriole]

now that i built my own lil cinema theres even less of a point for me

[cyan pewter]

there was a new avatar movie?

well i was in china at the time

[compact oriole]

3rd movie ye

[compact oriole]

wtf

[bleak pike]

I think I can beat you

[cyan pewter]

i do like being in an actual movie theatre for movies but.. i do have a netflix account and a quest 2
close enough but i guess audio wont be as good

[compact oriole]

i got myself a 65" oled and a surround sound set up. if the movie supports it, its crazy how nice it is

i looked up cinema entrance prices. here its apparenly about 12€ avg, which isnt nearly as bad

[bleak pike]

NVM I can't find but the most I've paid was £22

[cyan pewter]

main issue with my oled is that isnt big enough

my g60sd is the only big oled display we've got in the house

[compact oriole]

if you sit close enough its big enough

[cyan pewter]

but then i can see the pixels

its only 1440p

[compact oriole]

[bleak pike]

£17.50 rn

For an upcoming movie

[lone cosmos]

this looks about right

[bleak pike]

Since I'm "disabled" I can get someone in for free so in the past I would go half with my friend.

And we'd go somewhat regularly

[compact oriole]

ye so a movie with food and drink is easily 40-50 bucks if not more

[cyan pewter]

theres really only 2 places for movies where im at, theres probably a handful more in the city

[compact oriole]

only way id consider going to the movies again is if i got a monthly ticket where you can go whenever you want

at that point you can go to any movie or like each week or smth to make it worthwhile

[lone cosmos]

last time i went to the movies tickets for 3 cost me 35 plus 20 for drinks and popcorn

[bleak pike]

Even they have hidden limits

[cyan pewter]

AMC or Regal are really the only 2 movie locations i know off the top of my head

[bleak pike]

But ye I don't mind cinemas but you won't see me buying food or drinks from them, I bring my own.

[compact oriole]

i havent gone in over 10 years. idek if these days its annoying to go cz of dipshits with their phones

[lone cosmos]

smartest way to do it

[bleak pike]

I've never ever been moaned at for it, hell I even took a bag of fish and chips in once to test their limit.

Was fucking hilarious

The guy was more jealous than anything

[compact oriole]

its probably easier for your than most others tho, no?

[cyan pewter]

most people have some level of decency during movies i think

[lone cosmos]

everyone in the screening for the demon slayer film didnt make a peep

[bleak pike]

Nah, this was yearsss ago.

When I didn't need a cane or well now wheelchair

I've only been to the cinema twice with the wheelchair, it's not nice, you're put at the front or back

And even then it's in the corners

[cyan pewter]

theres a dollar store in the same mall as the movie theatres and we just buy stuff from there and head straight into the movies

[bleak pike]

The second time I managed to transfer to a chair so now I'll probably go to a specific cinema.

Sadly no real imax for me ever again though, glad I experienced Oppenheimer before before the chair.

[lone cosmos]

i dont even buy snacks honestly

[bleak pike]

Same now, I can't handle them and I can't risk needing a pee as it's more than a 2 second process for me now

[cyan pewter]

theres seats in the exact middle for disability here

[bleak pike]

Damn that's nice but have to wonder how that works.

Is every chair on the same level?

[cyan pewter]

no, rear is higher, front is lower

[bleak pike]

Even so it's so lame I'm paying the same price as everyone else with fancy recliners, give me a discount for bringing my own chair

The cinema we went to on my first one was literally right at the front, my neck hurt so much

[cyan pewter]

heres the imax/3d

[bleak pike]

Is it real imax tho

Or liemax

But dam that's nice

Pretty poop

[cyan pewter]

dang

[bleak pike]

The only real imax screen in the UK too

[lone cosmos]

its frickin HUGE

[bleak pike]

Sadly I can't even go further down and transfer as its all steps

[lone cosmos]

nearest odeon to me is about 6 miles iirc

[bleak pike]

I wasn't at the front

Had to use uw lens

[bleak pike]

Not real imax tho XD

[lone cosmos]

unfortunately not

[stiff fiber]

Hello everyone

[lone cosmos]

i think theres 1 in london, but im not getting a train down south just for that

[stiff fiber]

Last time I went to the cinema was for joker the first movie

😵‍💫

[lone cosmos]

last cinema visit i had was fir Demon slayer infinity castle

had to wait like 2 days until i could find a screening that was subbed

[stiff fiber]

I did not even know it has been on cinema

[cyan pewter]

i dont remember what my last movie was

[compact oriole]

man if i had known the movie takes so fucking long to come out streamed id have looked for an english screening. tho i doubt there were any to begin with (demon slayer)

[lone cosmos]

i was following it for a while

cross referencing screening dates etc

[lone cosmos]

there was a few dubbed ones

[stiff fiber]

Last anime I watched was attack on titan and I gave up. Good story but it is too awful for me

[lone cosmos]

but most if the dubbed ones where i am were sold out, but i prefer subbed anyways

[compact oriole]

ye but i live in germany, so they only had german or subbed screenings. and since i watched the whole thing in english and i dont watch subbed i didnt go

[lone cosmos]

ahhh gotcha

[compact oriole]

and for what ever reason the english version is yet to come out

[lone cosmos]

good

[compact oriole]

[lone cosmos]

subbed> dubbed

[compact oriole]

not about to get baited into that debate

id rather just watch a movie than read it with sound i dont understand

[lone cosmos]

its not bait, i genuinely prefer subbed, but thats just preference

everyone’s different preference wise

[compact oriole]

i know you can watch the ds movie subbed in high quality on piracy sites but at least in germany and france its still not on crunchy

is it on crunchy in the US or smth?

[lone cosmos]

uhh im not sure im in the uk

i dont even think its on crunchy in the uk either

[compact oriole]

chainsawman movie came out later and is already available cmon maaan

[lone cosmos]

yeah i missed the screenings for csm

big sad

[stiff fiber]

Yeah it is hard to focus on two things at the same time. I noticed that when subbed I spend my time reading

[compact oriole]

even if youre a fast reader youll still miss some of the visual work and cinematography they did

[lone cosmos]

i cant say i agree, there’s virtually no details i miss

[stiff fiber]

Yeah I agree. But still I know I am probably missing the original version but for anime I do not understand anything anyway in japanese

[lone cosmos]

but that could just be me having heavy attention to detail

[compact oriole]

i mean, youd have to actually watch it multiple times to notice if you did or did not miss stuff and even if you didnt miss it you still are able to appreciate it less

w/e. you do you. i just hate reading and i dont see the "og dub is better" point when i dont understand what theyre screaming about in the first place

[lone cosmos]

i tend to do rewatches anyways so

[compact oriole]

i always wait for seasons to finish and binge them. one added side effect is that you cannot really memorize a lot of it and im able to rewatch stuff quicker

[lone cosmos]

ah thats where im different, i watch them as they release instead

[cyan pewter]

i dont pay for crunchy and its not on netflix yet

[vital wren]

I watch movies at home, alone in peace. I don't have friend to go to the theaters

[cyan pewter]

but the US also has something about trump saying tv shows have to be made in america or smth stupid like that

[compact oriole]

do crunchy movies come out on netflix?

[cyan pewter]

well ds seasons are on netflix so

[compact oriole]

before netflix bought em

[cyan pewter]

the movie isnt just yet

[lone cosmos]

pretty sure its this year though

[bleak pike]

Sadly my friend who I went regularly with started being busy or not wanting to when I became wheelchair bound.

[compact oriole]

i mean the movie came out like almost a year ago at this point. it better come out this year online lol

[bleak pike]

We went out once and he didn't like putting my wheelchair in his car.

Now he just insists we use public transport

[lone cosmos]

its meant to be within the first few months of this year

so id probably guess mid-late april

[cyan pewter]

wasnt infinity released in like oct for NA

[lone cosmos]

september

[vital wren]

nah he sucks, you still the same wheelchair or not, if he doesn't want to make a little effort to spend time with ya he aint worth your time

[lone cosmos]

early access was 9th september and full release was 12th of sept

[compact oriole]

holy fuck it was only sept? felt much longer lol

[stiff fiber]

Do you guys think I should watch full metal alchimist?

[cyan pewter]

ik sep was the jp release

[compact oriole]

brotherhood version. but ye, its a good anime

[stiff fiber]

Ok thank you

[compact oriole]

jp release was july. rest was sept apparently

[cyan pewter]

oh

[lone cosmos]

japan got it in july

[compact oriole]

man felt much longer for me. guess it hasnt been that long then

[cold anvil]

I am now contemplating a 100%......
I originally just wanted to see if it was possible to get the s+ rank for me but I unlocked half of the achievments that one playthrough.. I already completed this game before normally like 3 years ago

[compact oriole]

if youre having fun with it just attempt it

you can always stop if you feel fatigued

[narrow junco]

mewgenics is fun, i think people should play it

[mellow garden]

I have to say, I'm already bored of the villager interactions in ACNH. I've found the majority of the depth already. I suppose it was never intended to be a deep game but equally, it would be nice to have more than a few mini-games and dialogue rotations.

[narrow junco]

just be aware, every content warning you can think of when it comes to this one

[mellow garden]

Still a fun game with plenty left to explore and unlock, but I'm already at the stage where it's being put down quicker.

I might also have 90 hours of play time in under a month.

[scarlet marlin]

they do open up more along the way, the longer they live on your island etc.

but its never gonna be 'deep'

[compact oriole]

you ever play stardew valley

[mellow garden]

No

Well, I played like an hour on Steam that one time.

Many moons ago...

I'll probably get the Switch 2 edition once that's released in Europe

[compact oriole]

at some point definitely a recommendation. maybe not rn after you put 90h into acnh tho^^

unless you actually feel like it

[mellow garden]

There's that new Mii game in April which looks pretty fun from the Nintendo Direct last week

I shall likely buy that

[scarlet marlin]

tomodachi life~

[mellow garden]

That's the one

[scarlet marlin]

https://giphy.com/gifs/nintendo-announces-ip-a91SCd4rQfuQ8

[mellow garden]

As for ACNH, I just wish I could interact a bit more because some of my villagers seem really lonely/sad at times.

😔

Melba and Curlos in particular.

Maybe they interact with scenery objects more than I've noticed. I should try adding some more fun stuff soon.

[cold anvil]

Thats what I’m afraid of, I don’t wanna get fatigued off of this genre before re9!!! i mostly did my play through of 2 again because I’m waiting for a friend to get done with 4 so we could play 5 together

I think I should’ve spent that time playing 7

But s+ ranking 2 was frustratingly fun….

[vapid lintel]

10 spotter relays in one round

[trim rock]

I finally went back to play that game for a little bit, decided to go for a quick Stella Montis run, it was the fastest run yet as I spawned in right ahead of another squad, basically loaded in and then bam dead

[exotic musk]

frickin WHAT

[lone cosmos]

ramuh extreme completed

the cat is so out of place in this game but thats a cute animation

[lone cosmos]

theres a literal hamster ball in the game…

[vital wren]

the hamster ball is funny, a friend of mine likes to play him

[lone cosmos]

the hamster ball is a royal pain in my ASS.

actually despise going against it

[cyan pewter]

i like playing hammy occasionally whenever i do play ow

This is current landscape of game dev cycle?
Some old guys with no idea about gaming want to have a slice of "live service" because a lot of money, they release minimum viable product, it doesn't catch on, layoffs for devs and golden parachutes for board and repeat

[orchid prism]

Game dev gamba

https://giphy.com/gifs/poker-69-all-in-TyJdks7SIAcac2QWM2

[hardy merlin]

I think it's worse if it does catch on, because then you have to constantly push updates, so 100h/week crunches

[compact oriole]

If you keep working at a place that requires more than 40h week constantly that's on you

[hardy merlin]

No.

Like it or not you need money to survive

You need to pay your bills, your rent, everything

[compact oriole]

There's more than 1 job available in this world. And youd look for a new one obv

[hardy merlin]

With current job market - good luck finding one in time where conditions aren't the same or worse
