[nimble current]

be the based one, refuse nintentrash

[scarlet marlin]

I cant, theyre a part of me since I was smoll

[small comet]

tbf pokopia is fun af

[nimble current]

they were for me too, then I grew up

[maiden tulip]

you became boring

[nimble current]

if being boring means not simping for a company that rewards your loyalty by pissing on your face then yes I sure am indeed

[scarlet marlin]

im not simping for nintendo, I deff dont like/buy everything they put out

but a game like pokopia just as a lot of things that I enjoy in a game

is that so wrong?

[cold anvil]

Mmm… piss… 😋

[manic owl]

Nintendo got it worst with resellers aswell no way in hell a 3ds is worth more than 300€

[small comet]

obviously

[outer pollen]

https://www.ign.com/articles/dying-light-the-beast-announces-restored-land-update-that-adds-lots-of-free-content

[small comet]

thats not resellers but just the whole retro scene rn

(at least to me resellers sell things still produced by the original manufacturer)

[nimble current]

yes? no, maybe

[manic owl]

Its cooked i still have an og one and a 3ds xl aint no way im selling them tho

[cold anvil]

I still need to fix my childhood 3DS

Never got around to doing so

[small comet]

the really sad part is that even if i can talk to sellers and clearly demonstrate that they overcharge out the butt i can only hope to find the cheapest overpriced listing and pay to get a few things rn

[manic owl]

They are durable itself but imo later gens are kinda easy to get cooked

[cold anvil]

Idk if I mentioned this to you before but my 3DS works completely fine, I just have dead pixels on the top screen :/

[manic owl]

Ah thats doable tbh just a bit finicky

[cold anvil]

Yeah will definitely take some patience too

The repair takes like 2-3 hours

I probably could just take it to a repair shop but idk how hard it’d be to find one that does 3DS repairs

Atleast locally

[manic owl]

Yeah could be less if its just the top screen , currently doing screen lens replacement on my psp

[small comet]

first gen 3ds are prob dying the easiest nowadays

[manic owl]

My new 3ds xl has a cooked codec ship it will constantly trigger the select button , the og one is still mint

[little cape]

lowkey techland gonna go out of business ever since the dying light 2 launch was horrible

[outer pollen]

They created one of the greatest games of all time bro, they got this

[little cape]

yeah dying light 1 was amazing

2 was horrible and the beast is alright

[nimble current]

horrible is kind of an exaggeration

but pretty mid for sure

most of the actual game mechanics were improved, but the vibe just wasn't there

[orchid prism]

I completed the first one - With a trainer. Cause I got really tired of having a literal crowbar somehow break apart from bashing soft tissue a couple of times.

The plot was... meh.

[nimble current]

plot was never their strong suit

[cold anvil]

@cyan pewter I'm pissed. this viper looked at phoenix first and decided to shoot me instead 🫠 😭

very sloppy 4k

[little cape]

naw i described it correctly within the first month of release the game was unplayable and people would get stuck in constant death loops

it took the devs months to fix their issues

[nimble current]

yeah but should the game be judged the same now as it was in its release state

[little cape]

i was judging it from its release not the current state of the game as of now

but it sucks because they're known for that now but hopefully they can improve going forward

doesn't help the beast was suppose to be a dlc and they turned it into a separate game

also don't think they can capture the essence that dying light 1 had

[nimble current]

I played it a year or so after release and it felt more or less finished and working

so my opinion is mostly on the game itself, which was a bit mixed

[little cape]

fair

[cyan pewter]

[cyan pewter]

how

anyways

Guess what happens after this: (Am the white and blue ferrari)
A) I stay in front and we have a clean battle for position
B) I get forced to kiss a wall

@exotic musk

[lone cosmos]

you get forced to kiss a wall

i just know it

[cold anvil]

Luck

[cold anvil]

[cold anvil]

I hate when people are so disrespectful in races omg 😭

[lone cosmos]

Called it

[cold anvil]

I gots to play more assetto corsa, I just didnt wanna drop gt4 so quickly

[little cape]

playing multiplayer pvp games on pc just ass you either get rats doing everything to win or they cheat

had some dude in Magic the gathering arena cheated because he didnt want to lose

how tf does a monster get 87/87 randomly

[lone cosmos]

more to the point how does a mf cheat in MtG

and secondly how sad do you have to be

[cyan pewter]

at least my safety rating didnt go down

[verbal nymph]

Imagine irl

[little cape]

probably get into a fist fight

i can imagine some nerd ripping up your cards because you won

i seen some videos where people cheat in other card events for pokemon,yu-gi-oh tournaments

[compact oriole]

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/playstation-is-closing-another-game-studio/

sony cancelling yet another game and also closing a full studio

[hardy merlin]

[mellow garden]

All you had to do was follow the damn train

[nimble current]

sony channeling their inner microslop

[quiet vault]

9950x3d2 should be best gaming cpu right

[hardy merlin]

In theory
In practice inter-CCD latency would kill any performance it would have over 9800x3d

And 12-core CCDs that are coming wouldn't really help either, because games can't really utilize so many threads

[quiet vault]

normal 9950x3d can already outperform normal 9800x3d a bit

[hardy merlin]

If core parking is done properly, yes

[quiet vault]

would just be a question of if the 2 version is improved on clocks too and stuff

[hardy merlin]

Ah, as in not 16 X3D cores, but better binned CCDs for better clocks

[quiet vault]

or i just gotta wait till blizzard fixes the issues

[hardy merlin]

[quiet vault]

having same fps in 1440p vs 720p is kinda funny

Hmm, maybe vbucks isn't selling as well as they expected

[compact oriole]

https://i.imgur.com/hqYEtCC.png guess daddy bungie said its ok to release reviews now

[exotic musk]

😭

[outer pollen]

It’s a good game idk what else to say

[exotic musk]

damn

[quiet vault]

does fortnite release that much

[compact oriole]

when are they not doing a collab these days

[quiet vault]

or what are they overspending on

[outer pollen]

https://youtu.be/hsuDT3VrgyE?

From the creator of Darkwood

[fading spade]

Overspending on their legal department trying to collab with anyone trying to sue valve

[outer pollen]

Oh wait co creator

[mellow garden]

[mellow garden]

Ehh

[outer pollen]

[exotic musk]

damn

[hardy merlin]

The dude who basically created cartoonish style of the game
But sure, AI will do everything now, amirite fellas?

[mellow garden]

@ivory dune the 259 weapon was the best upgrade. Dumped some veteran crests into my two lowest ilvl pieces which means I'm now 253 ilvl overall. Roll on normal reclears tonight for some tier pieces.

I suppose I should do LFR for set tokens as well

[ivory dune]

Welp!

[compact oriole]

feel like they got a million other goons theyd fire before firing this guy if it was actually about AI

but AI is coming for everyone. even if they work in games/movie/animation

[hardy merlin]

Yeah... everyone...

[trim rock]

Oh no anyway

[compact oriole]

well its expensive af and cant hold a candle to some of the other models

kinda seems like openAI is losing on a lot of fronts these days

[orchid prism]

https://giphy.com/gifs/qN7NZR3Q5R2mY

[compact oriole]

idek what to do with all that shit. AI doesnt help with my work and in my free time all i use it for is to google lol

im not really following the progress of the models but what i did gather is that openAI is kinda struggling

working at a bank and boy are they already replacing what they can by AI

[fathom swift]

Even then copilot is wrong most of the time

[hardy merlin]

Copilot is especially wrong most of the time
Claude and Gemini are actually useful for searching stuff, Copilot is utter trash

[compact oriole]

anything i look for gives me sources i can check. its just easier to ask it a question and then check where it gets the info from instead of googling. also i dont use copilot

obv it takes info from the web and often reddit. so theres a ton of misinfo that it just sells as fact if you ask it

also means theres even more of an incentive to spread false info that fits your own narrative, because AI will pick it up and sell it as truth

[fathom swift]

AI inherently isn't truthful because it's trained on information and misinformation across the entire internet, and it doesn't know the difference. It also just hallucinates things that were never actually said by anyone or what it was trained on

At least Claude can tell you when it doesn't know something

[compact oriole]

well ye. if you "google" through AI you ask it to summarize what google would tell you to a major extend

speaking of fake news in ai. this is what i specifically meant https://i.imgur.com/AqKXJOh.png

[exotic musk]

can you ask ai who bankaiova is

i wanna know who that is

[hardy merlin]

I'm not waiting for AI wars, it's time to start

[compact oriole]

it claims this from a reddit thread made by an idiot. i was in the thread when he made it. the source he provides is from some garbage AI data collection website that can only take data from retail stores that participate. meanwhile they claimed it as a fact that its ps5 did a ton better than pc, when it didnt have steam data access

[exotic musk]

[quiet vault]

ToastyAI best

[fathom swift]

Have people realised yet that adding the source doesn't mean anything if that source is also AI generated and/or completely wrong?

[exotic musk]

why did ai find an account for a website i dont even remember making an account for.

[compact oriole]

well gotta apply your own braincells when checking the sources. the issue is that probably 98% of people dont even check em and will take what the AI claims as fact

[fathom swift]

So it's the people's fault

[compact oriole]

if i googled this shit instead of asking the AI id find the same crap. so whats the difference

you cant protect people from themselves

[exotic musk]

isn’t that what mental institutions are for

[compact oriole]

i just googled the same question. the reddit thread is the first thing that comes up and tons of other "publications" and videos taking the same source (cirkana) to spread the misinformation

[fathom swift]

Doesn't make much of a difference if its a person lying to you or an AI lying to you. Both people and AI is capable of regurgitating something it has no understanding of

[exotic musk]

if blue was yellow what would yellow be if blue was a sound

[compact oriole]

correct. so how does it matter if you google it or ask ai, if you cant verify it other than checking yourself and applying logic, if you are even equipped to because you have background knowledge in the subject

[exotic musk]

replace “is” in this sentence with are

and it with they

and change has to have

[fathom swift]

I'm not about to give AI pronouns

[exotic musk]

[exotic musk]

you mentioned humans (people)

you use they when you talk about humans as a whole

[compact oriole]

i mean.. AI pronoun is obv it

[exotic musk]

the human pronoun overrules it

[compact oriole]

i meant generally. but ye in that sentence it has to be are. not a pronoun issue tho

[exotic musk]

you dont usually use it when describing people

[quiet vault]

[compact oriole]

no, but is or are arent a pronoun issue but singular/plural indicated by "people" in the sentence^^

[exotic musk]

im aware

[compact oriole]

then why mention pronouns

some "analyst" estimates marathon sold 1.2mil times

[outer pollen]

A lot of people were buying multiple copies to gift or do giveaways as well

To go against the hate the game was getting

[compact oriole]

ok but those are sales as well or what are you implying?

[outer pollen]

Bloated sale numbers

[hardy merlin]

Given current numbers 1.2M over all platforms seems believable

But it's cool that it didn't end up like Concord or High Guards

[outer pollen]

Bungie seems to be listening for now to the community

[hardy merlin]

They kinda have to
Game must at least look successful so that Sony won't deploy their guillotine

[compact oriole]

well game has to make money for them not to deploy the guillotine

[hardy merlin]

Game has to make at least X amount of money, where X is whatever number shareholders will pull out of their asses
BF6 was the most successful BF entry to date, and yet guillotine went over at least 1000 employees...

[compact oriole]

bf sold giga well but also player numbers died down dramatically

https://i.imgur.com/C63b0aS.png

[hardy merlin]

Well, if you push all your workforce into REDSEC and ignore core audience that tends to happen

[sinful cobalt]

Warzone

[hardy merlin]

Shareholders want to have healthy long-term live service, which will consistently print them money, but at the same time they happily vote to cut workforce to show that they improved profits, but you can't have healthy live-service based on that

[compact oriole]

i was done with the game around s1 launch. i have no idea if they actually went full BR or the game just generally died off because theres no long term appeal for most players

[hardy merlin]

I really doubt Fortnite would be as big as it is today if Epic was public company and had to manipulate their stocks to please shareholders

[compact oriole]

also the bf crowd isnt really one that splurges on all the cosmetic BS. i think its hard in that game to extract profits regularly

[serene orbit]

For me there was just a lack of content

[sinful cobalt]

Most bf players hate anything that is cosmetic related

[hardy merlin]

With enough people they could've double-dip - give BF crowd new maps and toys to play with, then bring those toys to BR along with cosmetics for people who ran away from CoD and other FPS games

[sinful cobalt]

You not see Nicki Minage running around

[compact oriole]

im a sucker for skins and prolly spent almost 5 figures at this point but in bf i really dont give a shit. its just not the game for shit like that

also about the lay offs. they made the game and they dont need all those people to dev a couple maps, guns and skins for the years to come

so even if it kept the 700k ccu i think theyd have done similar layoffs

i feel like theres lots of behind the scenes number crunching for investors and AI replacement crap going on. these are just short term maximizing decisions.. ceos just come, make numbers go brrrr take their bonus and then fuck off again

aint noone tryna make the company or player experience better longterm

but ye.. thats a general big corpo problem. noone as allegiance or loyalty to their company. theyre all just exchanging suits for high tier positions incentivising short term gains

[sinful cobalt]

Tbh bf could monetize cosmetics if they stick with military designs

[compact oriole]

avg bf player age is probably a bunch higher than almost all other shooters. i dont see a world where these old men would pay for military suits in an fps game

[ivory dune]

@mellow garden BiS normal ring from the delves weekly :D

[mellow garden]

Delving out of your mind

[ivory dune]

haha, yup

[scarlet marlin]

@little cape did my placement matches last night, oh boi there were some sweaty close games hahaha

[small comet]

pokopia has placement matches?

[compact oriole]

[bleak pike]

It was also just over hyped

[mellow garden]

Yeah, you competitively build an island.

[small comet]

damn

i thought it might be a suck competition

[outer pollen]

I bet I could beat @maiden tulip

[mellow garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZIzQ0ky48I

[outer pollen]

Comes out tomorrow right?

[quiet vault]

pretty low

so probably no crazy graphics

[small comet]

not like fh5 had some incredible graphics

they arent really known for crazy graphics imo

[quiet vault]

nows the time

[bleak pike]

Forza has always been pretty optimized too

[maiden tulip]

lmao

Good joke

Ever played horizon 3 or motorsport?

🤣

[quiet vault]

In addition, all of the PC render settings can now be changed without the need to restart the game. There are also live previews for many of the graphics settings, allowing you to easily see the visual changes you are making.

[mellow garden]

[bleak pike]

It's been a while

But probably

[maiden tulip]

Well you clearly havent

[compact oriole]

they got like actual rt this time or is that just photo mode again

[quiet vault]

raytraced reflections and raytraced global illumination

in gameplay probably

[bleak pike]

I played it

I did a video for wooting too XD

Horizon 3

[compact oriole]

didnt even know fh3 came out for pc

[bleak pike]

But I was a 60hz peasant back then

[quiet vault]

back when advertising for analog movement in racing games

[bleak pike]

Wasn't advertising it was more showing how to

[grizzled quarry]

Horizon 3 was fine on console

On pc its uhh a different story

[grizzled quarry]

Actually thats a lie my xbox still had crazy stutters occasionally 😭

[maiden tulip]

Surfer's paradise was so choppy on pc too

I was on a 980 at the time and it was baddd and it was far better than the recommended which was a 970 xd

[grizzled quarry]

Fh3 was a good ass game though

[stiff fiber]

Nothing better than playing arc raiders in the evening

[little cape]

honestly prefer those matches then getting steamed over

[grizzled quarry]

Much better than 4 and 5

[little cape]

those type of matches test you as a player

I have been cheesing this whole time playing this demo

[cold anvil]

The game asked me to make a second mii idk what the fuck Im doing

Update, her birthday is national icecream day this year

[cold anvil]

I cannot upload my clips to the Nintendo app

I think it’s because it’s a demo?

Hopefully this doesn’t persist to the full game

[buoyant osprey]

That TV looks uncomfortably high up

finally some acknowledgment

[serene orbit]

did they change the initial post 🤔

[fading spade]

why must steam randomly pop into the foreground when playing games???!!!

it doesnt unfocus the game, just makes the steam window show up over the game

[trim rock]

Steam is just garbage like that, can happen if you press the guide button.. or just when it feels like it

[fading spade]

im on keyboard

I HASTYE THIS

[trim rock]

I think what's happening in your case is the webslop process crashing and being restarted, making the window show back up

[fading spade]

wtf

[fallow bronze]

I have this constantly, quite annoying. And for me it does steal focus

Well.. Like 5 times and then it gives up with a black inner window

[serene orbit]

Ive never had this in my life

[bleak pike]

Wasn't just me then

[fallow bronze]

Linux issue I guess

[bleak pike]

Wait, people play on console?

[bleak pike]

On Windows

[quiet vault]

nah idk what they did

[bleak pike]

I don't use OW in Linux anymore

[serene orbit]

idk but in the post it clearly says console players can post their stuff too

[quiet vault]

@fading spade I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to Lana

How.. Did I tag Lana

[orchid prism]

Yeah, I'd wager on Lana's Linux installation being haunted, happens like 50/50 of situations

Plain ubuntu

[bleak pike]

It looked like you were replying to me

[bleak pike]

[quiet vault]

im downloading steam version just to test now

[bleak pike]

Fuck Ubuntu

[scarlet marlin]

[fading spade]

Overwatch got constant 90FPS for me on Deck capped to like 7w TDP

[hardy merlin]

Then some configuration probably, recently they switched Proton libs to be fully 64-bit, I had to remove some older Proton-GEs and reinstall Steam ones or they would randomly crash

[serene orbit]

better than I expected ngl

[fallow bronze]

Game runs fine! It's just steam Client restarting

[fallow bronze]

F you too?

[quiet vault]

@ivory dune Voidspire NM recleared and I got one piece of loot... it was an upgrade at least. Another shit-ass roll on a plate set token though.

[hardy merlin]

Never got too annoyed to check, will do it next time

[fading spade]

I need Discord to accept MKV so I dont need to convert them all to MP4 if I wanna send them

[ivory dune]

I did one lfr and got the blue item from saladbar

[hardy merlin]

Are you trying to pirate movies on Discord?

[trim rock]

Yeah, MKV is literally only used by filthy pirates, honest people never use it

[mellow garden]

I should just blast M+, 10s are throwaway for easy portals and 2.5k achievement.

[fading spade]

I use MKV to record screen xd

[fallow bronze]

Why though

[trim rock]

I use it because it just seems to work better, like when I stop recording it's just bang done whereas when I used to use mp4 there could be a lengthy delay, and it doesn't handle being abruptly ended as well as mkv

[mellow garden]

@ivory dune recleared both in just over an hour. Much better performance this week even with semi-scuffed gear.

[compact oriole]

megakek

[outer pollen]

Hopefully cheaper?

[compact oriole]

digital will be the cheaper ones. question is if digital becomescheaper or if it will be the og price and physical becomes more expensive

they really tryna get people to buy digital so people cant resell/trade

[outer pollen]

It’s crazy how people defend Nintendo “They’re the only ones trying to keep physical media alive”

When anyone says anything negative about Game Key Cards on the subreddit

[compact oriole]

the mental gymnastics

[stiff fiber]

Also I wonder if the switch 2 is doing well with sale

[compact oriole]

isnt the switch 2 a huge success

[cold anvil]

Yeah

I think its at like 15 million units sold?

Spent like 2 hours in the tomodachi demo

Worst mistake ever

Now I want more

[outer pollen]

I thought it didn't do to hot during the holiday season

[compact oriole]

it sold over 17mil units by xmas apparently which is faster than switch 1

[cold anvil]

You’re thinking of xbox

[stiff fiber]

I would be intereted by the switch 2 but to me its price is insane for its power

[cold anvil]

?

You mean the 13.9mm thin hybrid console????

😭

The performance they give for the price is impressive

[stiff fiber]

I dont know I dont see myself paying so much I dont know why

[cold anvil]

That’s perfectly fine

World is in a terrible place rn anyways and I can’t ever expect anyone to buy something because I said so lol

[compact oriole]

idk as someone who absolutely doesnt care about the mobile feature i find its power lacking as well

but honestly i just have no interest in nintendo games. else id buy it

[cold anvil]

When you put it in that perspective it makes sense! But for what it actually is it doesn’t at all lol

[compact oriole]

its good for what it is ye

pokemon sword baited me into buying a switch and over all id say that was a mistake for me

smash was really fun tho

[cold anvil]

Consoles are only worth it if there’s games you’re interested in. Everything else is on pc lol

Still upset knowing there will never be an official gran turismo on pc……….

God damn YOU SONY!!!!

[compact oriole]

the only nintendo game i want on PC is smash

[stiff fiber]

I only would like to play botw

[compact oriole]

you could play that on pc and itd run better than the original

[stiff fiber]

I know but knowing nintendo they would extradite me to japan for being in jail for life

[hardy merlin]

Want an emulator?

[orchid prism]

No. Roles.

[hardy merlin]

I forgot about it

[orchid prism]

Yeah... I need to redo it sometime.

[novel umbra]

same goes for smash

gets better netcode on PC

[hardy merlin]

I wonder which one

[verbal nymph]

Nice nice. But I think you should try reduce the misses.

[cold anvil]

I already am, I kinda use this as a benchmark to see how far I've come. I've been starting out my sessions with a bunch of 3* maps to understand patterns and practice LN's and ACC then move on to 4* - 5* maps
which I'm able to play but not fully well

I'm trying to strike a balance of practice and then playing whatever I like lol

but I'm not trying to over extend and strain myself with maps I cannot play at all

[verbal nymph]

Try this. 3 song on 3star, 3 song between 3star and 5star and 3 song on 5star. Can

[cold anvil]

bit confusing but I think I understand

[verbal nymph]

I do it on other rhythm game and it works quite well. Though idk how well it translate to osu

[cold anvil]

I've been trying to find a good formula to generally use in rhythm games, I was top 2k ww on beat saber but I fell out of that game cause I was just not training properly and then played less. then when I tried to come back I would immediately play 10* - 12* maps like I never left which was a big mistake and I started to develop wrist pain.

trying to prevent something like that from happening again lol

[verbal nymph]

I see

Just dont be hard on your hand. If you're slow or missing, it usually cause you react slow, not your hand being slow.

[cold anvil]

yeah alright

funnily enough playing a whole lot of mania is making my wrists feel nice and light

I really wanna come back to beat saber fully but I wanna take things one at a time

[verbal nymph]

It's okay

I also like to take it slow

Borderline lazy lmao

[cold anvil]

lol

slow is honestly boring but it's def important

[verbal nymph]

This is my current capability. Still training for dat top level.

[buoyant osprey]

Is that your video?

[verbal nymph]

Yesh

[cold anvil]

that's pretty insane

lemme see if I can find something

[verbal nymph]

Really insane, like an overjoy amount of insane

[buoyant osprey]

What is that game

[verbal nymph]

Need some setup to get it working but after that you're smooth sailing.

[cold anvil]

I failed when I tried making the switch from right to left

[cold anvil]

yeah you need wrists of steel

[verbal nymph]

I'll die playing that

[cold anvil]

believe me or not it gets much harder than this and the things I've seen people do is genuinely super impressive

[proper basin]

I could never do mania maps past like 2 star max lmao

Voidspire HC for my group tonight. Hopefully we can clear the six bosses to free up Sunday for Alleria pulls.

[green dune]

I don't understand what you mean by that.

[compact oriole]

You swing your arms too much before and after hitting

Smaller movements so you can do em quicker

[fringe salmon]

disabling particles and debris might also help you get used to higher difficulties so theres less visual clutter

otherwise as was said already if you swing your arm too much its way harder than just angling your wrist (just dont go to the extreme and get carpal tunnel from it)

[hasty belfry]

All I hear is 45000DPI

[stiff fiber]

how many dpi are you guys using?

[hardy merlin]

1600 6/11 raw input

[fleet breach]

Yes

[sinful cobalt]

1600 and 6/11 raw as well

[green dune]

I can read the charts fine most of the time, I just can't reach the blocks fast enough on Expert+.

[fringe salmon]

Yeah then more wrist movement is probably going to to help the most

[compact oriole]

What does 611 raw mean

My dpi is 2500. I game settings almost min in every game

Need almost my full big mousepad for a 360

[hardy merlin]

In Windows and KDE in-settings pointer speed is set to 6/11

Raw Input is "Enhance pointer precision" turned off
It's mouse acceleration, the faster you move mouse, the faster cursor also moves, feels more natural in most cases
Raw input only takes into account where you moved your mouse, not how fast you moved it

[compact oriole]

Should be raw input for me unless w11 sneakily disabled it

[compact oriole]

Crazy prices. Now the steam machine might seem more competitive

[mellow garden]

Nah, that'll be $1000 USD.

[stiff fiber]

honestly better saving for a pc

with 650 euros you can already get something like a 9070xt

[sinful cobalt]

But u still need to buy ram and storage

[hardy merlin]

You can get those by raiding local datacenter

[compact oriole]

Ye and another 650 just for 32gb ram?

And then like 500 for MB CPU and then you still need PSU and a case

[stiff fiber]

yeah true but then you can only play games on ps5

[compact oriole]

Well personally I'd rather save for pc but I get that many wouldnt

[stiff fiber]

yeah I understand people unable to save for so much

[serene orbit]

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/hgNcYX

[stiff fiber]

but I dont know it really show how bad the economy went with inflation

[serene orbit]

Just ram left empty, prices vary too much depending on country and 2nd hand vs new etc

[sinful cobalt]

I mean you can do other things on a console as well

Or just get a pre-built pc

[stiff fiber]

honestly when you see these prices at one point people will just get a cloud computing thing

[compact oriole]

Well the PC in my mind was more capable^^ but ye this would be decent for most

[serene orbit]

Ok but then you cant compare it to a console

My pc is worth 7000 euros doesnt make sense to compare it to a ps5

[compact oriole]

This one is already stronger than a ps5

[compact oriole]

How so much? I bought top of the line and spent less

[serene orbit]

5090

[compact oriole]

Same. How much did you pay for it

[serene orbit]

2k

[fleet breach]

One singular noctua fan

[compact oriole]

Paid 2600 for mine wtf

13900k 64gb ram

[serene orbit]

Yeah and now they are like 4k

[sinful cobalt]

Maybe he went with x870-e or something like that

[fleet breach]

I got a 9070XT nitro+

[compact oriole]

Ye. Super lucky timing. Bought it in sept

[serene orbit]

Yeah i have an x870e mobo

[compact oriole]

Ah ok. I have what ever the standard one is for my CPU. I don't remember

X970 or smth?

[fleet breach]

Do you use it for anything besides gaming?

[sinful cobalt]

This gonna carry me till 2030

[serene orbit]

Nope

[serene orbit]

I sold the am4 x3d for 400 then bought ddr5 and a 7800x3d for it for my gf lol

7800x3d was like 190-200, ram was 180?

[fleet breach]

Is there anything that even challenges your pc?

Ive got a 9070XT and a 7900x3D and nothing i play is limited by this

[serene orbit]

Yeah

Minecraft modded

Any game with super high end ray tracing or path tracing

Unoptimized games

Star citizen gets cpu bottlenecked

Same for tarkov

[fleet breach]

Christ, whats your cpu?

[sinful cobalt]

I mean im pretty happy with it

[serene orbit]

9800x3d

[sinful cobalt]

I can play everything with great graphics and with good fps as well

[serene orbit]

Yeah but free upgrade is free

[mellow garden]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36qAeOAB_fI

[fleet breach]

Youve gotta be playing at 4K then, right?

[serene orbit]

1440p, i prefer 100+ fps in all games over the fidelity upgrade

[sinful cobalt]

Its not really free xd

[serene orbit]

How?

Time i guess only

[hardy merlin]

Should I sell half my RAM and XTX to get 5090

[sinful cobalt]

I could never justify a 90 class GPU price

[mellow garden]

They're an appreciating asset

Like a house

Or a Porsche

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah it would take me 5 months of saving to get one LMAO

[hardy merlin]

[compact oriole]

Tlou1 will dip to 60 fps even on a 5090 at 3440x1440

[sinful cobalt]

Not that 90 class

Like the 4090/5090 class titans

[hardy merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wave-waving-sit-calico-gif-2550945032537629601

excuses

[sinful cobalt]

Plus i don’t have any reason to get that card

[compact oriole]

The only reason I went with one was cz 5080 didn't have the perf id want

[serene orbit]

Too late now i think no?

They were 2.5k a bit ago, now i dont see them below 3.5+

[compact oriole]

Prices rocketed on the 5090

Ye same

[mellow garden]

Used 4090s are still £2000

[compact oriole]

That's honestly a good price these days lol

[mellow garden]

That's a profit for me

If I sold

[compact oriole]

[sinful cobalt]

If i didn’t upgraded to my 9070 i would have gotten a 7900xt or something like that

[serene orbit]

I was thinking of buying the 9070xt for 570€

And then keep it until i sell my 5090 for 5k

[hardy merlin]

my PC can easily hit 4k60 target, so I'm good for a long itme

[compact oriole]

If the release of the Nvidia ti upgrades hadn't been questionable I'd have waited for those.

Seems like those eint coming tho

[sinful cobalt]

Tbh still one of the biggest mistake that i did that i didn’t bought that 4080 for 750€ in 2023 or 2024

[pulsar prism]

That just means more money can go towards other things like cameras lenses and more keyboards

[compact oriole]

Ye. At the time I built my PC without GPU cz I didn't like the 40 series value proposition, just for it to be even worse on the 5080..

[hardy merlin]

To be honest, if I were to sell all my camera gear I'd have more than enough for 5090 at today prices

[sinful cobalt]

I had a 6700xt and anything was an upgrade for me LOL

[pulsar prism]

Well I be hoarding stuff and never selling, didn't work out for me recently when I had to move places though

[cold anvil]

No real reason to upgrade now tbh unless you have something equivalent or weaker to an rx6600 or 2060 (this mostly applies if you want to play the more modern games tbh)

[cold anvil]

I’m definitely keeping my first gpu, dunno what Im gonna do with everything else

[compact oriole]

I'd try to wait out the ram crisis for sure

[cold anvil]

Yeah

[hardy merlin]

6700XT still carries through 1080p and a lot of 1440p

[cold anvil]

My 3070 can do high 1080p on a lot of modern games

[buoyant osprey]

4k or 4k*

[hardy merlin]

4k
NATIVE

[cold anvil]

We all ❤️ upscaling here, we don’t discriminate

[buoyant osprey]

I don't mind it, buuuut it's not 4k if you do

[cold anvil]

Yeah on the technicality you are right 100% correct

[compact oriole]

Don't know if posted already

[cold anvil]

OpenAI did just shut down sora

[serene orbit]

Dlss dlaa?

[cold anvil]

[cold anvil]

Its in the name, anti aliasing not upscaling

[serene orbit]

I thought dlaa level rendered it at native again

With quality being like 87%

[cold anvil]

[hardy merlin]

We live in interesting times
DLSS sometimes looks better than Native
Just because TAA completely destorys the image and DLSS fixes TAA artifacts

[compact oriole]

It'll prolly still be a while until ram prices go down tho since they all sold out stock through 2026

[serene orbit]

Yeah it renders at 100%

It does

[pulsar prism]

More the camp that TAA doesn't suck just people suck at implementing good TAA

[fringe salmon]

yup

[pulsar prism]

Like Titanfall 2 had some good TAA

[serene orbit]

The thing for me is that TAA generally sucks, while dlaa is always good

[fringe salmon]

dlaa is a form of taa though

amd even went ahead and made FSRAA an option devs could just implement alone without the rest but nobody really did that either

so we continue to get really bad TAA in many games

[hardy merlin]

Calling DLAA a form of TAA, is like calling PzKpfw IV a form of tractor
Technically true, but...

[cold anvil]

For the most part it feels like modern devs develop on really high end displays but don’t bother to check anything lower than 4k

I’m not saying they don’t just a lot of things end up not translating super well on lower res displays giving it that blurry look

[fringe salmon]

I mean its basically the same and DLAA just uses a ML training set as basis, nothing stops anyone from doing the same or copy parts of it and make it better without needing the compute power nvidia can use these days

Gotta make back the money for all those live service flops

[cold anvil]

Ps5 is literally just not worth it now lmfao

It was fine at $500, I understood inflation and the current economy

This is just insane.

Best selling console last Christmas too

They were definitely already thinking about this they just wanted to wait for the holiday season to blow over

[fringe salmon]

unlikely its probably a thing they want to do now before everyone else does the same when the entire oil/iran thing keeps going on

[cold anvil]

Oh I just assumed the usual AI issue

[hardy merlin]

That Orange Menace will collapse global economy just to make people focused on something else than the files

[fringe salmon]

the price since release went up with a ~5% per year inflation, thats a bit above the consumer price inflation average over the years but thats also ignoring dram costs

[cold anvil]

It’s all really frustrating as a ps5 owner cause it’s a pretty good console but not $650 base model good like holy cow

[compact oriole]

Time to sell it. Resale price also going up

[cold anvil]

I could be hypocritical ngl
Got my ps5 in a bundle with 3 games an extra controller an accessory and official headphones for like $800 during the shortage early 2022

[cold anvil]

You know.. a gpu upgrade has been looking awfully tasty.. lately… 🤑

[compact oriole]

At least he's the only one who released smth. Even tho I don't think this has anything to do with the files

[fringe salmon]

he didnt really release anything the fbi was forced under the law to release it due to time passed xD

and we can never know if its a distraction or just insanity driving to things like the iran situation

or any other dumb option like israel pushing for it etc.

It has a lot to do with the files, his friends over at Heritage Foundation, and his ego which is slowly getting bigger than known universe

[cold anvil]

Just realized, if Nintendo keeps their prices the same they’ll genuinely have a gold mine

[fringe salmon]

I mean nintendo isnt safe from rising prices either

if they keep prices while costs go up its not a gold mine either

[cold anvil]

[compact oriole]

Ye and why did it pass. Why was it even on the table? Cz noone gave a fuck in 4 years of Biden. It's cz orange man ran on releasing them. Which was really stupid since all of a sudden he wasn't down anymore

What's worse is that it seems even tho there's tons of damning evidence no one is being prosecuted

Well not no one. But not enough

[cold anvil]

Why is it always the terrible people that live the longest

[fringe salmon]

yeah but the transparency act was made by the house and voted on with like 400-1, the senate was unanimous, trump didnt push for it xD

[hardy merlin]

Because being terrible makes you money, and with enough money they can keep you alive for a very long time
Hospital may deny you heart transplant, but they as sure won't if you buy the hospital and put your own people as board of directors

[compact oriole]

Nah but he enabled it by running on it. As said, Biden and Democrats were happy hiding it until they lost power

[fringe salmon]

and so were republicans before obama and so was trump on his first term

both parties were happy to hide it until the public demanded it too much to keep hiding it

[buoyant osprey]

When From Software releases their next soulslike do you think it will still be locked to 60 fps and not support widescreen? I believe the latest Armoured Core game doesn't have these problems but I'm not too confident about that meaning much for the next soulslike

[cold anvil]

There is no ethical way to get unfathomably rich. I guarantee all Billionaires are horrible people or have done horrible things to get where they are

[hardy merlin]

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in Japanese developers when it comes to this

[compact oriole]

Epstein died during trump

[hardy merlin]

If he died and wasn't just removed from the picture

[compact oriole]

Idk. Its not a political issue for them. They're hiding it because tons of powerful people are implicated. Just politized for the plebs like us

[cold anvil]

The Duskbloods will be at 30fps if I had to assume due to the hardware limitations of the switch 2. Unless I’m mistaken cause it could very much be possible that Nintendo could be working closely with fromsoft to make the game entirely around the system and have it run perfectly fine at 60

[fringe salmon]

yeah everyone is involved, chief pdf file trump and demoract leader schumer probably as well xD

[compact oriole]

Are you saying gaben isn't an ethical god amongst men?

[cold anvil]

Thats a different case…

He can have all the yachts he wants

[buoyant osprey]

I forgot about Duskbloods. I was thinking more the next multiplatform soulslike then

[cold anvil]

Tbh, don’t get your hopes up

Doubt they’d do widescreen and above a capped 60 lmfao

[hardy merlin]

Widescreen maybe
But I betcha all physics will be tied to 60FPS

[fringe salmon]

elden ring already does widescreen flawlessly

it just gets black bars ontop of the render because "pvp unfair without it"

[buoyant osprey]

Need a mod to support it though. I'm just wondering if they'll do this crap next time too

[fringe salmon]

its not a technical reason they do these things, its a policy

[cold anvil]

I’m hoping they get rid of or just change how multiplayer summons work

Having to re-enter everytime you die is annoying asf

[hardy merlin]

They could just make PvP-specific UI, which covers sides of the screen

[compact oriole]

Ye. Elden ring has same engine as ac6. But on er they limit it while ac6 has 120 fps ultrawide

But all their later games can do uw 120 with mods

[hardy merlin]

With mods even GTA:VC/SA can do UW 120

[fringe salmon]

well the difference is in those mods they change the camera or similar, in elden ring they dont change any camera setting they just remove the black bars

[mellow garden]

It’s still not ideal

GTA SA in particular has some weird behaviours

I need this game

[hardy merlin]

You mean car wobbly butts?

Or mission Stowaway, where you have to chase the plane, but plane's speed is directly tied to FPS?

[buoyant osprey]

Breaking news: the thousandth remake of 2026 just announced

[hardy merlin]

And sells Nintendillion of copies

[buoyant osprey]

Sadly

Kind of wish remakes would all be horrible flops sales wise so this trend would hopefully die off

[scarlet marlin]

the 3ds ocarina of time was nice

I guess they wanna make it now on the switch available for the new generations

[hardy merlin]

Instead you have people who bought all 5 language versions of both FireRed and LeafGreen, and those are just ports

[verbal nymph]

Gotta show you're true fans

[buoyant osprey]

True fan is often synonymous with mindless consumer

The «2 cakes» mindset

[cold anvil]

I think theres a difference between a fan and braindead moron without any critical thinking skills

[buoyant osprey]

Yeah. But some think fan means you have to like everything

[cold anvil]

https://tenor.com/view/fentcord-true-coyote-gif-2599436844608872721

[buoyant osprey]

Like this

[cold anvil]

Yeah I always found that kind of rhetoric bad, like I understand if you like both but you can’t force your opinions on others.

[hardy merlin]

If you shill company more then you get more internet points within its community

[cold anvil]

Idk who I hate more, The fans who like everything or the fans who are like “old is better” but never fully understand or explain why and just blindly hate

Both sides of the same coin

Both just as insufferable

[buoyant osprey]

This specific one doesn't make any sense to me either. «A real RE4 fan never speaks ill of (a different game)»??

[cold anvil]

Yeah

[hardy merlin]

I like the fans that are jumping immediately on any whiff of criticism on hate wagon

[cold anvil]

That too, the amount of bandwagoning that happens in communities and fandoms

People are so quick to change their opinion because the majority says so

Instead of just defending their beliefs or critically coming to the conclusion that they may have been wrong

[buoyant osprey]

Do you find the term «atmosphere» to be vague?

[cold anvil]

Not at all, it’s what sets the tone of the game. Music, sfx, artistic design/intent in structures/environment as well as gameplay elements

[buoyant osprey]

Okay. I made a short post on the RE subreddit 2+ years ago where I was talking about the remakes and used the term atmosphere where someone didn't like that

[lone cosmos]

holy GARBAGE.

[cold anvil]

yeah :(

[mellow garden]

• The aiming is affected by the screen resolution.
• The game is actually designed for 5:4 resolutions
• The game defaults to 25 FPS except it's actually 30 FPS with 5 randomly dropped frames, a behaviour copied from the PS2 PAL release

Amongst other quirks

[trim rock]

Physics don't behave right at high framerates, like cars coming to a stop way faster than they should after releasing acceleration

[mellow garden]

You also die faster with unlocked frame rate

You should play at a locked 30 FPS

[bleak pike]

When are you buying it

[maiden tulip]

This is a game i'll buy on a sale

Too many flaws

Wooting at Blast

[orchid prism]

Let's go gambling!

[buoyant osprey]

Beegee2?

I've been playing lots of BG1 the past few days

[orchid prism]

Yeah. Had a sudden craving to go rummaging through Amn again. Been years. Never touched the enhanced editions till now.

[buoyant osprey]

It's nice that they tell you the total roll. I've been playing the original BG1 lately and it doesn't so I either have to do math each roll or dump them all the way down to see the total amount I can spend

[orchid prism]

Haha yeah.

[buoyant osprey]

I have to say that the pathfinding in BG1 in atrocious and very frustrating all the time but especially in smaller spaces like houses and the corridors in Durlag's tower

[orchid prism]

BG2 isn't much better. Really gotta babysit them

In the starting area alone, there's several spots where if you tell them to go from A to B, at least one party member will get stuck far from where it is, so you spend a minute walking them over

[buoyant osprey]

Ugh...

It's so sad the enhanced editions didn't improve this. I see people say it's actually worse now but I don't know how true that is

[orchid prism]

It's due to how the game pathfinding works. I remember in BG1, you could tweak how much CPU was allowed. Even on the "no CPU will never do this, lol" setting it isn't great.

If they need to do a large U turn, they will likely get stuck trying to pass through walls.

[nimble current]

funny how games studios always gotta "save finances" and "be more efficient" when gaming is already the most profitable entertainment industry there is

[hardy merlin]

Human psychology is amazing when it comes to concept of wealth and money, in short, when it comes to greed

[nimble current]

ceoitis is a very insidious mental illness

[buoyant osprey]

I wish companions didn't have collision with each other. That would at least make it a bit better

[orchid prism]

Yeah... always fun when the two ranged companions block a melee one from passing in a corridor 😄

[cold anvil]

Isnt ai notoriously bad at translation

What are we doing ?!?!?!

[nimble current]

who cares it saves money

who doesn't like profit

[buoyant osprey]

Ugh... I'm going to torture myself more today

[hardy merlin]

AI, LLMs that is, should be actually quite good with translations, it's language-based regression after all

[compact oriole]

if you speak the language its insanely good as a tool

as in if you use it as a tool speaking both languages

localizers is one of the first jobs being made obsolete in entertainment media

and why would you even hire a translator to work in your firm anyway.. bro getting a salary for translating a game every couple years?

[orchid prism]

You don't have translators on payroll. You contract companies that translate your games for you.

This is how the industry has worked for... decades. Unless you're Ubisoft sized.

[compact oriole]

ye exactly. but from that post it sounds like he was hired there

[orchid prism]

Sometimes that is the case, if you've got enough work. Or can multitask.

I'm not a translator, but I can help with Danish support tickets and marketing as needed.

[compact oriole]

ye, but they dont make a ton of games. he said he was also an editor. what ever that means outside of game text stuff
