ye trueblack

Also i can get PRAGMATA but i need to write a review, i cannot write a review yet 😢

[compact oriole]

use the windows calibration tool to set it up with the right brightness

look up what the actual max hdr brightness is for like 10% window and set that and for the dark one just min slider

true black 400 isnt even that bright compared to whats out there but even that is already so nice

[serene orbit]

Use nvidias hdr for media

Tbf i use the nvidia hdr for games too

Also the upscaling is really nice too for media

[bleak pike]

This fine?

[bleak pike]

@fringe salmon

[fringe salmon]

probably

thats just DP 1.2 is that enough for what you need?

[serene orbit]

Dont you want dp 2.1 or?

[bleak pike]

Idk, 280hz

1.4 I need

I don't think my GPU supports 2.1 either

1.4a

Wait wtf my current wires are 1.4

Maybe I just need a new one but idk how

@manic owl what sane person would lift with someone else so close behind

this isnt even the worse of it

race start was something else

[manic owl]

Wow

[cyan pewter]

free 6 positions

[manic owl]

I mean its an easy track imo

[cyan pewter]

and then another 2

[cyan pewter]

i actually have an issue of taking eau rouge flat in the porsche

i always have to lift a little to get the car to turn but thats probably skill issue

[manic owl]

Hmm in general i think spa is a nice track not too technical or too long

[manic owl]

I mean it depends on tire conditions etc

[cyan pewter]

my major skill issue is not being able to get below a 2:20 for my life

but then again im also like that on every track, 3-5 seconds off pace for a good lap

[grizzled quarry]

Im top 160 at the biggest Karting track near me 💪

First time going

Raced against the 2nd fastest guy at the track and he was still almost a second ahead of me though 💀

[pure bear]

race the second fattest guy next time

[grizzled quarry]

Wouldn't be a big difference

My shoulders were almost too wide to fit in the bucket seats

[cold anvil]

@outer pollen love the customization, made beach towels and a cooler!!! This is so cool

[mellow garden]

I love the freebies you get when ordering stuff from the My Nintendo Store

Pre-ordered the new Yoshi game

Getting some fridge magnets and a tote bag

I love fridge magnets

Because they’re such a good alternative to stickers

For pc’s I mean

I wish I had more

Oh wait, it's a magnetic bookmark

[cold anvil]

I got a few in mine rn

[cold anvil]

What books have metal pages

[mellow garden]

Still on PS4

[fringe salmon]

thank you xbox series S ram limits xD

[manic owl]

honestly the base one is eh but i think the ps4 pro still runs games decently well to justify it

[fringe salmon]

not relevant at all, no game will consider only the pro edition

[manic owl]

depends entirely on how many were sold of each hard to say really but as a pc player id say the ps4 performance is rough in some games

[fringe salmon]

no like, if you make a game that would only run on the p4 pro they would not release something on it

you arent even allowed to do that

[manic owl]

no i get that yeah i just think the ps4 is still a viable console to release games on since they made a ton and a ton are still used as the main console

the ps5 is simply not affordable for the average household like the ps4 was

[bleak pike]

I'm sorry what, 2027?

That's a long way away

[fringe salmon]

?????

what are you talking about

[small comet]

literally less than a year lol

[vital wren]

It's like 8/9 months

[bleak pike]

Exactly

Is this an announcement or trailer?

[fringe salmon]

its a uncomplete teaser trailer

[bleak pike]

Ah that makes more sense I guess

[orchid prism]

That's how it always is.

New big expansion revealed at convention.

[vital wren]

2077 is only 50 years away from next year

You're skipping ahead by a lot.

[fringe salmon]

no.. we already have that

[small comet]

hm youre right i forgot. well i guess in a few years we get cross region then

[fringe salmon]

they wont make cross region

they decided against cross region travel on purpose

[fading spade]

oo????

[small comet]

oh? i thought they tested with oceania

[fringe salmon]

no thats where they allow multiple people to go to

but they didnt want to mix regions and cultures on purpose on main servers

Kefka Ultimate

8.0 will still run smoothly on PS4, but as the game grows, they're reaching the data limit of PS4 capacity. Soon it will be impossible to contain all of FF14 on the PS4 hard drive. "We think we will be okay until 8.3."

[fringe salmon]

so they basically are dropping the ps4 shortly after the ps6 launches

[mellow garden]

Shadowbringers is being added to the free trial

[cold anvil]

Assassins creed black flag resynced looks good but Im confused

The game isn’t even that old

To warrant a remaster

Is Ubisoft in such a terrible position that they need some kind of money maker??

[hardy merlin]

yes

[nimble current]

they're so desperate they're even allowing it to be played offline

[cold anvil]

I see… it all makes so much sense now

[hardy merlin]

I wonder if that guy got fired https://www.thegamer.com/ubisoft-plus-subscription-exec-gamers-need-to-get-comfortable-with-not-owning-your-games/

[buoyant osprey]

As long as they're a decade old it's fine

Anyway I'm so excited for the Fallout 4 remake

[stiff fiber]

Ubisoft is the shadow of itself tbh. Where is the fun and refreshing company that came out with beyond good and evil.

[buoyant osprey]

Beyond Good and Evil 2 is soon old enough to warrant 2 whole remakes despite not being out yet

[stiff fiber]

Well the fact they prefered producing I dont even know how many AC instead of beyond good and evil 2 is beyond me

Bluesky · Apr 24, 2026, 7:15 PM

[maiden tulip]

It kind of is and it's the ac that the most people are fond of

[maiden tulip]

Its up to the dev

[fringe salmon]

no

[maiden tulip]

Also free to play games dont need it

[fringe salmon]

this isnt a free to play game

[maiden tulip]

Part of it is

The free trial is like the whole a realm reborn thing

[fringe salmon]

no

its a demo where you play most of content that people dont do anymore so its mostly done with npc

[maiden tulip]

...

[fringe salmon]

the difference to WoW is that its not dead content after a new expansion

[maiden tulip]

And said content isntherefore feee to play

[fringe salmon]

but its really not the main game

I'm saying this isnt a f2p game just because you have an extended singleplayer demo

[maiden tulip]

I think it just falls under that category of title as it's a free game with paid downloadable content

[fringe salmon]

no

[maiden tulip]

ok

come up with a reason then

[fringe salmon]

a reason for what

[maiden tulip]

You figure it out

I'm pointing out how my guess is that because it's a free download on the eshop it automatically falls under the free to play umbrella and therefore doesn't need the sub

Find your own theory if mine's impossible

[fringe salmon]

no they literally talked about how the ceo had to discuss with nintendo to come up with a compromise...

[maiden tulip]

ok well how about you just point that the fuck out rather than just replt no to what im saying

If you have information i don't have just share it

It's not hard

I'm saying probably and saying it's a theory i have and all you say is no

[fringe salmon]

why do you just jump onto everything nintendo without knowing it when the rest of us talked about the keynote and commented on what happened

[maiden tulip]

I literally just got here sorry that i was busy working and didn't watch the stupid keynote

[fringe salmon]

yeah thats fine just dont instantly jump onto something because it is about nintendo xD

you coulda just said oh look this was it and i'd have been like great awesome cool

@cyan pewter gotta have flo from progessive on speed dial when you enter a nevada raceday with a topspeed event

[sinful cobalt]

Ah yes good old Pro Street

And Nevada

[manic owl]

i must have hit a pebble, even somehow totaled my drag car in nevada its crazy how that road is just a catapult

[cyan pewter]

what game is this

[manic owl]

https://tenor.com/view/nfs-need-for-speed-pro-street-need-for-speed-pro-street-nfs-pro-street-gif-21574309

does this ring a bell?

[cyan pewter]

i saw gif name

[manic owl]

prostreet is a real classic imo

[cyan pewter]

also no

i dont have any nfs games other than unbound(?) or the one before it

[manic owl]

damn really not even most wanted?

[cyan pewter]

nfs heat

i think it was

[cyan pewter]

nope

[manic owl]

i have played prostreet on the wii back in 2007 it was crazy

[cyan pewter]

i was 2 in 2007

[manic owl]

fair enough tbh

[manic owl]

i think heat had some noisebomb events which are pretty much a nod to prostreet

[cyan pewter]

i dont even remember playing

or well i do but i dont remember what it was about

[manic owl]

drifting but heat was wierd, somehow they tried to portray illegal street racing as something ethical lol

[ivory dune]

Games I can hear the soundtrack from immediately

[cyan pewter]

tbf drifting in most nfs games are weird

oh is heat the one where they portray cops as bad guys for wanting to get rid of street racing

im so smart guys

[manic owl]

Yeah prostreet has a lot of very obscure remixes and a lot of stuff from junkie xl

[manic owl]

Yeah they are corrupt but still

[sinful cobalt]

I can recommend you the Pepega Mod for sure

[stiff fiber]

OK I uninstalled both arc raiders and marathon until end of the year. I hope the game will still be there by this time. They took too much time and I will focus on single player game in between

[hot spruce]

@manic owl pepega

ok im not sure why i tagged you sorry abt that

[compact oriole]

just play what ever you think is fun bro

[stiff fiber]

I prefer focusing more on work and health and play less video games

So solo game are good for that

so allegedly according to a review that broke embargo and released early the steam controller will supposedly cost 100$

Ouf, will depend on build qualifying it is worth it, the OG one feels like a toy you might've gotten in your Happy Meal.

I expected 70ish

[compact oriole]

assuming its good quality id say this is a fair price

thats what normal garbo controllers cost from xbox and playstation

[little cape]

someone pray for johners mental health

he's going through it today

[orchid prism]

I'm sure a new castle needs an arsenal. Somewhere to store the cannonballs.

#sports

[hasty belfry]

Only the Limited Edition versions, a standard can be had for 60-70.

[stiff fiber]

What is so great about it?

[compact oriole]

ye thats what im saying. a standard one is already that price. and the steam controller has the backpaddles + 2 touch thingies

[hasty belfry]

I'll get one anyway because I do be like that.

[compact oriole]

if i had any use for the touch pads id get one too. but idk a single usecase id want them for unless i wanted to play fps on a controller

[hasty belfry]

Sell some CS cases ezpz

[compact oriole]

well any game with a mouse cursor input would be good on the controller too i suppose

[trim rock]

I'd want one to have a fancy controller with extra inputs

[little cape]

mansen is that chat coming back for WC 2026

or it caused too many issues

[trim rock]

Just need to do more work on my own controller daemon thingy since the biggest problem I have with the original SController, Deck and now this is how tied to Steam it is. Yeah I know it's in the name but as soon as you want to use it outside Steam it falls apart

[stiff fiber]

Wonder if the trackpad on this is good for aiming in fps

[cold anvil]

$10 more expensive than the switch 2 pro controller 😭

[cold anvil]

Atleast the dual sense has something to offer unlike xbox :/
they just raised the price to raise the price

[serene orbit]

Isnt a better comparison 8bitdo or gamesir?

[hardy merlin]

Volvo will release drivers as they do, so I think it will be less reliant on Steam Input

[serene orbit]

And then its double the price

[cold anvil]

I mean ehhhhhh

Idk I dont think so

[compact oriole]

well im comparing it to the other 2 biggest controller manufacturers. noone comes close

[serene orbit]

The standard xbox controller is kinda ass no?

And the elite is even worse i read everywhere

[cold anvil]

No its not bad at all, its good. Just overpriced for what you get

[compact oriole]

the quality is. as a controller i think its good tho

[cold anvil]

Yeah

[serene orbit]

Im reading a lot of hardware issues with the elite

[cold anvil]

Not like $60-$70 good tho for basic controller functionality 😭😭

[serene orbit]

And very fast stickdrift, breaking triggers and stuff

And the elite is like 100-200€ too

[compact oriole]

ive had mine for agood while and had no problems so far. but with my xbox controller track record im just waiting for it to break

xbox 360 controllers were undestructible. all controllers after broke pretty quickly

[cold anvil]

The elite controller feels really good in the hands ngl. Like really high quality

Idk about 200 bucks tho

Im just going off of my experience using my little brother’s elite controller

[compact oriole]

i think i spent 130 on mine. but thats also with a charging case, which is actually nice to have

[cold anvil]

Oh thats so worth it wth

The case comes with the paddles too right

[compact oriole]

stays clean (no dust) and charged. ye paddles and different sticks

[cold anvil]

Thats a decently good price for what you get

[serene orbit]

Yeah more the stickdrift and things breaking

[fading spade]

Steam Controler at 99 would still be a hella nice controller though

[quiet vault]

this is crazy

[cold anvil]

@cyan pewter peep the clip brother

[cyan pewter]

this game was peak on mobile

until it became p2w

[cold anvil]

yeah for sure, I still find it in me to try and relive some of that nostalgia though 😔

it's definitely way easier to grind for guns then it was in the past though ngl, that kinda helps but the game is still p2w even if you got put into lobbies with other guys with similar weapons

but it's not that serious lol

I play this game once every like 6 months

This is crazy

[trim rock]

It was inevitable

[compact oriole]

were you able to pirate games on ps5 or what is this bs supposed to do?

[orchid prism]

This doesn't prevent that. This is just a Sony dick move™

[fading spade]

jesus fucking christ, the amount of people calling people who like Pragmata pedos is insane .-.

[orchid prism]

Okay? Does it affect you personally?

[fading spade]

also this wtf?

same could be said if you are a woman who has to play a male character in a video game...or a guy who has to play a woman character LOL

[trim rock]

Outrage is the in thing these days, because that gets you clicks..

[fringe salmon]

the entire discourse has already changed because the people saying its anti-woke for wanting people to become tradwifes have shifted gear after hearing the VA is a black woman, keep up with outrage if you want to discuss it smh

[fading spade]

dafuq

[compact oriole]

you play a dude. how was there a discourse around tradwives

[fringe salmon]

because people saw clips of streamer or woman comment how they like the kida and basically said its an anti-woke game that makes people want to have kids again in traditional values

so you had (mostly female)streamers having to deal with creeps that commented on how nice it is to see them go back to the good values of wanting a family and not the evil woke crap

[fading spade]

OMFH LOL NEKO MASTERCHEF XD

[compact oriole]

tfw studios just make good games and the terminally online idiots make up shit about their self referential unsolved traumas and projections

[fading spade]

^

I want this game so I can play as neko masterchief :')

[fringe salmon]

welcome to the world of conservative grifters

[fading spade]

chief*

[compact oriole]

right because the left doesnt do that at all

[fringe salmon]

but yeah as I said that drama has already shifted multiple times as "new information" came out and they had to adjust their grift

[fringe salmon]

to a much lesser amount and not in this creepy way no

[compact oriole]

ye calling everyone pedos is definitely better

[fringe salmon]

???

[compact oriole]

those are the same people crying about attractive female characters, "male gaze" and the usual "all men suck" idiots

[fringe salmon]

wtf are you talking about

[compact oriole]

im saying most of the pragmata = pedo crowd are purity testing woke/sjw crowd

[fringe salmon]

what

[fading spade]

wat

[compact oriole]

its yet another issue focussed on shitting on and distrusting men. generalizing men being pedos if they play this game.

[fading spade]

oooo theres a demo

[compact oriole]

doesnt show a lot of the game unfortunately. its super short

[fringe salmon]

can you show any example of that that isnt just a random person making weird steam community posts?

[fading spade]

oh ;-;

[compact oriole]

you can still try it out lol. just saying its short

[compact oriole]

steam community posts are like 90% shitpost trolling anyway

[fading spade]

gonna take like 4 hours to download ;-

[fringe salmon]

yes but its the only place I would find that in hence im asking is there anywhere else where someone had that take

[compact oriole]

what take? that pragmata = pedo?

[fringe salmon]

yes

[compact oriole]

you didnt see all the discourse about that?

[fringe salmon]

would I be asking for it if I had

[compact oriole]

well discourse. the usual fucks on twitter and reddit

im just super surprised because that has been the "biggest" terminally online bs since its launch

[fading spade]

HAH, little did you know youll soon be in dad mode, Hugh

[fringe salmon]

only seen people talk about it in vague non-direct quotes against the tage, but nobody actually having the take, much less it coming from the left side of the spectrum

whereas the conservative grifters have been quite direct but its also what twitter pushes more

[fading spade]

Twitter is run by a pedo, no shit thats what it pushes .-.

[compact oriole]

under the post of how they sold 1mil copies in 2 days

[fading spade]

Atreus isnt annoying IMO, Kratos's treatment of him annoys me...just calliing him Boy and not telling him shit about anything

[compact oriole]

not about to go through the whole of mentally ill twitter. theres been a bunch more also boiling down to why diana looks so "good" and has makeup on

[fringe salmon]

dunno how some random dumb fandom account person that just reposts all day shows its the same as conservative accounts posting nothing but racist and other bigoted content constantly

you'll always have people take the wildest takes but one side has some very consistent business model to it and that tends to be right wing grifters

[fading spade]

.............uh wtf

[compact oriole]

seems more like youre just on one of the sides. mentally ill dont have a political monopoly

[ivory dune]

Excuse me

[fading spade]

LOL

[hardy merlin]

A suggestion - we nuke Twitter servers, because this is a scourge on humanity

[stiff fiber]

If I learned something it is that both side are equally dumb and imagine politician or corporations care about them

[fringe salmon]

well I dont think people with bigoted takes instantly are mentally unwell im excluding those from either side

[compact oriole]

idiots are everywhere. youll find the biggest scum on any political direction, theyre just stupid about different shit

[compact oriole]

well just being bigoted not but generally i just meant people with very very stupid causes

[compact oriole]

please nuke most of social medias

[ivory dune]

And what exactly are those stupid causes?

[stiff fiber]

the thing that left me speechless is when the left defended bill gates because the guy appartently care a lot about the health of the world. Then when we discover the guy was a vip on a certain island it is cricket

[compact oriole]

calling people pedos for playing pragmata. going to female streamers to tell them how pragmata activated their ovaries

[stiff fiber]

both side cherry pick the vip guest on that island while it just prove the whole system is rotten

[ivory dune]

There is no side

You're fudging putting people in two camps as if there's a war, which is typically a right rhetoric, funny enough

Anyone who slightly disagrees is stamped with "The left" and it's over

[hardy merlin]

There's only a class war, but rich want you to not look at it and focus of fighting between each other

[compact oriole]

right. because the left is very tolerant of people that dont agree on all the points and will not directly turn on each other when disagreeing on one

[ivory dune]

Oh yes because disagreeing that old men get to decided if women can get abortions is such a good point

There's a whole slew of layers and you dismissing those is crap in itself

[stiff fiber]

I genuinely ask people to reflect back to when the political spectrum became a clown show and it was after the 2008 crash, and the following reaction with movement such as occupy wall street. You guys might think I am crazy but I am 100% sure that elite came with a fragmentory plan to fracture the political spectrum by making people more and more extreme in their belief. When dumb people are coming with extreme ideas the other side answer by being more extreme, and at the end people fight each other while rich people are not worried

[compact oriole]

you gotta wake up and stop this left vs right bullshit. excusing your own and shitting on the other. as i said. theres no political monopoly

[ivory dune]

I agree

That's why I'm saying there's no left or right

There's just shitheads

[hardy merlin]

When we look at US politicians a lot of people form both sides should be in jail

[compact oriole]

well yes agreed. i was just saying some shitheads lean left and some right. and acting like its just 1 side is disingenuous

[ivory dune]

That's exactly what I said, or atleast meany

Meant*

[stiff fiber]

yes but we shouldnt follow the insanity of people calling a video game a game for p***. Actually real p**** live their best life not worried at all after going to a certain island for years

[hardy merlin]

Just don't listen to Twitter
One person will come out with idiotic take, some outlet will pick this up, and before you know it both Twitter and outlets will parrot everything

[stiff fiber]

pragmata seems like a very good video games that is all end of story

[ivory dune]

I also think it's incredibly odd the kid has makeup

And I do have my thoughts about that

[stiff fiber]

twitter is the medium by wich people get extreme

[compact oriole]

i think normal people will hold opinions and values all over the political spectrum. you know someone is "compromised" when they seemingly are more concerned with having all the opinions that their side has a consensus on, than just having their own viewpoints.

[ivory dune]

I haven't opened twitter in years

Nor facebook

It's all the same slop

[compact oriole]

people are radicalizing each other. the opposing groups for one and then inside the groups themselves

[ivory dune]

When men tell women what to do, or people how to live. That's when I get rowdy too

[hardy merlin]

I used Twitter for total of 1 day when at uni, because friend said that it's a cool website for art
Well, it wasn't

[ivory dune]

You know, I lies

I do use twitter, but professionally and it's only about the world of warcraft pro scene

[compact oriole]

i mean. probably twitter is pretty good for art seeing as its one of the biggest websites

[ivory dune]

To the point I even forget it's twitter

[compact oriole]

just a ton of other BS on there too

[hardy merlin]

I think that some private FB pages can be way more extreme than Twitter

[compact oriole]

thats why theyre private

[ivory dune]

I just saved a bee! 🐝

[stiff fiber]

I dont listen to anything these people say

if I want to play pragmata I will play pragmata

the awful thing they say about this game is more a reflection of their crazy mindset than anything

shame on them for having such ideas

[cold anvil]

I may stop watching the playthrough, I think I will like this game enough to get it soon

the hacking is so much easier than in Cyberpunk LOL

[stiff fiber]

[small comet]

or in the end stage of where our society is going rn which is more isolation than ever

its why people say theres a loneliness epidemic

[compact oriole]

true but no matter if its own fault of the fault of tech isolating us, one is still giving up

[fading spade]

RIGHT??!!!

[small comet]

society is isolating itself. the pandemic just accelerated it even more

[compact oriole]

ye, cz of smartphones and social media

[small comet]

yeah and now society accepts it as normal

and sort of the norm

[compact oriole]

it fakes the human connections we used to crave and keeps most people content enough to not seek out actual ones

meanwhile depression numbers keep rising like crazy

[nimble current]

internet and social media has basically wiped out the media monoculture we used to have for decades if not centuries before where the masses were tuned in to the same tv shows, went to see the same movies, listened to the music that played on radio/tv

[compact oriole]

3rd spaces have disappeared most people dont even have any encounters anymore but work or transactional ones when grocery shopping n shit

[mellow garden]

3rd spaces still exist, people stopped going.

[nimble current]

not saying that carefully curated media landscape was all good or anything but it did give people common cultural landmarks to bond over, as meaningless as the media itself may have been

[compact oriole]

well ye

[compact oriole]

people still watch many of the same shows and movies but on streaming services instead

but instead of seeking connections irl theyre content with speaking to strangers online

or even less than that. people on reddit and twitter all day

problems that dont actually are big issues irl all of a sudden online youll find big groups radicalizing each other on shit thats only an issue.. online

smartphones and social media has been a net negative on humans

STOP TELLING ME HOW TO DO IT I KNOW HOW TO DO IT STOP TELLING ME TO FREEZE THIS THING AND THROW MY AXE AT IT ITS LITERALLY WHAT IM DOING

Diana doesn't really say much about well the game besides saying "jump hugh" when an enemy does a ground slam

I think it's why people dont find her annoying

I bought my ps4 pro used but yes its also basically just a gran turismo machine

And it was a spiderman machine and a red dead 2 machine

And a ratchet and clank machine

And a killzone machine

But yeah like i swear having atreus basically tell me how to do puzzles ehen im just trying to explore and look for collectinles

Completely took me out of the game so many tiens

[manic owl]

same i bought it from a coworker for basically new price then again it was basically an open box console

[maiden tulip]

Mine was basically an open box too

I bought it from a moron on kijiji, dude changed his mind and was selling it for 150$ off, was when the ps4 pro just released

The console was a week old and he even gave me the receipt...

He had changed his mind and wanted to buy an xbox

somehow it didnt occur to him that he could just return the console

i figured id rather get a limited edition console than buy a bland one if its litteraly open box

why the heck is that tv in that weird angle tho?

gt7 would look great on my 4k 120hz 55inch ips hdr vrr tv

[cold anvil]

I think the home is a weird angle not the tv

[scarlet sail]

lol

ngl, i'd totally freak out with that asymmetrical gap on top

[manic owl]

yeah the roof is angled like that

[manic owl]

this is the only place a tv would even fit. its the only full height straight wall in my room

[scarlet sail]

well, could always mount it on the roof slope on the left side or directly at the ceiling, just needs a lil different mount

[manic owl]

yeah but that does not really work out either

i hate the knife

[cold anvil]

Has it been leaked?!

Im so late 😭

[cyan pewter]

yeah

[cold anvil]

What is it

[cyan pewter]

it transforms between a normal knife (with xenohunter animations) and a really bummy katana

or maybe not xenohunter animations, probably the newer ones

[cold anvil]

I feel like ayakashi is lowkey what kuronami 2.0 was supposed to be

[cyan pewter]

maybe

[cold anvil]

Man I like ayakashi so much but the colors on it are so hard to match it with anything

They’re so distinct

[cyan pewter]

this is the only leak so far but well take it with a grain of salt ig https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fSM8Z_-wTQ

[cold anvil]

Looking at the kuronami 2.0 leak for the knife, that doesnt seem right.

[cold anvil]

I hope this is false

It doesn’t look like kuronami

Looks like a Bp skin

I really want this

[compact oriole]

I'm looking for a reason to get one but I don't really have one

Controller having capacitive touch is really fucking cool too

[hardy merlin]

I'm already used to have touchpad on my Dualsense as a mouse, so I'll be definitely getting it

Releases in Japan on May 4th at 15:00

Proprietary charger?

[nimble current]

hope you can still charge it with just a usb cable

[hardy merlin]

There's a USB-C port on top, but you can also use a puck

having a charging dock at home is convenient but you might want to charge it while away

Ah of course MVG does a video on it. Still - Super cool to see ZSNES back into the limelight. Such an iconic SNES emulators 😄

[nimble current]

I don't really like controllers but the shape is quite different to the xbox/ps ones so might be more comfortable for my hands

but am guessing there won't be any demo units in stores given its mainly sold from valve directly

[hardy merlin]

There will be, but only in Japan

Just like with Steam Deck

[compact oriole]

You got super small or big hands?

[nimble current]

I'd like to at least hold it before I'd take a gamble on buying it

they're on the larger side

like a ps controller is too small for me to use comfortably

[compact oriole]

Idk how laws are in your country but you might be able to order it and send it back within 2-4 weeks without reason

[nimble current]

I lowkey liked the og xbox duke controller being so large and the controls/buttons laid out with ample spacing

[nimble current]

yeah I could use the return policy that's not really an issue

but its harder to talk oneself into the process of packing and shipping it back when you already got it home paid and done

[compact oriole]

ye I know that feel

But sometimes I do purchases with the intent of it being a trial cz I'm unsure

[nimble current]

yeah I have returned stuff on a few occasions but those were rare cases

am guessing my brother will probably get one so I might be able to try it when visiting sometime

[compact oriole]

Man actually being able to play games that require aim on it would be nice. I can't aim for shit with controller sticks

[nimble current]

that's because sticks have always sucked for aiming

still kinda amazes me shooters on console took off the way it did with the controls being so ass

kind of a bummer, the only decent fallout game to come out under bethesdas ownership of the IP

[compact oriole]

Honestly better to not have them release their next remaster slop.. not like it'd be an honest and good attempt anyway

Been waiting on that modteam to remake it in fo4 since fo4 launch. I have a feeling it's not coming anymore

[hardy merlin]

I mean if they'd made one on Creation Engine 2 and like a proper remaster then it'd be cool
But it'll be most likely the same as Oblivion, so UE slapped on top of the game, job done

[nimble current]

if that FO1 fan mod reimagined in FO4 ever makes it to relative completion I'd be curious to try that

[compact oriole]

Exactly that's what I'd expect. Or worse

I have 0 trust in Bethesda anymore..

[scarlet sail]

bugthesda will remain bugthesda, even if they had the source code for NV they couldn't make anything decent out of it, just gotta look at how it went with skyrim as a prime example, recycled over and over yet they never made anything out of it, meanwhile modders that don't earn a single penny from them transformed the game into a whole next level experience both graphically and gameplay wise while it runs even smoother than any of the base game versions 😅

[compact oriole]

the modders will fix it

[nimble current]

starfield was pretty polished on release by bethesda standards

too bad its mostly a loading screen masquerading as a game

[compact oriole]

Yeb but not that polished by normal standards. And that's without the fact that their loading screen engine sucks and they didn't evolve a single bit in their formula since like morrowind

[nimble current]

even when you're not looking at a loading screen 95% of the experience is going from a to b to c to a over and over fetching stuff

[hardy merlin]

Starfield committed one of the worst things that a piece of entertainment can do - it was boring

[scarlet sail]

pfft while it didn't have as many issues as i expected it was still worlds away from being a full experience and as far as i'm aware the companions still can't even shoot straight, like standing in front of of an enemy and still blasting shot after shot above it and it would probably take years of modding to turn it into something worthwhile 😅

[compact oriole]

Wdym? All those barren planets were awesome

Procedurally generated garbage sold at full price

[nimble current]

yeah the game is just so mid to its very core not even the modders bother with it

like if the base game isn't fun in the first place, what's the point

[scarlet sail]

nothing wrong with procedural generation tbh, they just have to make it interesting enough and DENSE^^

[compact oriole]

Honestly it's a sign of what to expect with es6..

[orchid prism]

You can fix bad gameplay. You can't (easily) fix a bad plot.

[buoyant osprey]

I'm just so tired of remakes and remasters and reboots and reimaginings

[orchid prism]

Starfield suffers from both. It will never get the Cyberpunk redemption arc, because Bethesda would never invest that kind of money in a product on a gamble.

[scarlet sail]

i'm still kinda surprised how many people were and still are playing ESO, i checked it out for like a week and threw it right off my drives after because it was simply garbage design all around 😅

[orchid prism]

Skyrim wasn't amazing on release. But the story was solid, and it had a decent sandbox experience for the time. This provided an excellent basis for mods.

[scarlet sail]

that just adds to it, yea, i mean why should i pay full price for some recycled crap of something i already own? they'd rather spend time and effort on a new title that's interesting to play^^

[buoyant osprey]

I don't find CPunk much better now than on release. The primary difference is in bugs. But if bugs were never your problem with the game then you won't like it now either
To be fair I do love the game, but all the patches and stuff did basically nothing to me on that end

[small comet]

well thats what happens when you usually dont make mmos and force your singleplayer engine to do MMOs

[nimble current]

if its a game I enjoyed in the past I don't mind a more updated version that runs well on modern hardware, but so often with remasters there's details that don't match the og game or have been replaced with something worse

[small comet]

i feel like most fans of ESO play it for lore not for it being a good mmo

[buoyant osprey]

Saw recently Ubisoft is considering remaking Assassin's Creed 1. Can't wait for the next decade to have yearly Assassin's Creed remake announcements

[small comet]

well first pray black flag isnt a shit hole

[nimble current]

shame bethesda writing only seems to get worse with time

[scarlet sail]

i mean imagine being bugthesda, having fans scream for a skyrim coop mode for years and then deciding to hey, let's ignore what fans want and shove them a lackluster MMO up their asses

[nimble current]

they seem to do alright when it comes to their home terf i.e. fantasy setting, but let them get their grubby fingers on any IP outside of that genre and its a nosedive

[small comet]

a bit over a month till we see how well they can remake an AC

Release Date

Jul 9, 2026

especially one so beloved like black flag

[orchid prism]

Same I guess? I had no trouble completing it on the first version. I had one instance where I needed to load an earlier quicksave 5mins later...and that was it.

[orchid prism]

Preview videos say... poorly. Graphically good, but they changed combat to be more fast paced, including ship combat afaik.

[small comet]

correct

[scarlet sail]

pfft, i dropped the series after AC2, simply wasn't worth my time and money

[small comet]

i also had no major issues on 1.0 but i have seen the carnage you can get

the worst issue i had was an npc car that was stuck in the rode continually exploding forever

even after patches

[orchid prism]

I think the first big patch made the game worse for me. I started seeing fun bugs and had issues.

[small comet]

i actually only bought it once the expansion hit and used cracked 1.0 till then

[sinful cobalt]

I loved the T pose drivers in cpunk77

[scarlet sail]

meanwhile i'm still glad i waited like 2-3 years post release before giving cp a try^^

[hardy merlin]

Supposedly all Abstergo cutscenes and gameplay will be optional now
But I don't see any reason to pay Ubisoft for almost the same game
Better yet, I don't see any reason to give any money to Ubisoft

[nimble current]

todd and emil are just out of touch and too proud and stubborn to look at their work more objectively or listen to player feedback

[sinful cobalt]

I did finished the game on release week but i had tons of fun with it

[hardy merlin]

b-b-but... 16 TIMES THE DETAIL

[small comet]

well if blackflag wouldnt be a pita on ultrawide id also not pay but ill have to hope its somewhat decent on actuial release

[nimble current]

their reaction to peoples lukewarm excitement over starfield was basically being dumbfounded, like they couldn't imagine a scenario where people didn't think this was great

[scarlet sail]

proud and stubborn? more like simply stupid just like the flocks of fans that still buy their new "games" and ask for seconds 😅

[small comet]

reminds me of xbox and microsoft not knowing why their console is declining in sales

[scarlet sail]

or MS and how the dumpsterfire winshit11 is faring xD

[small comet]

the simple fact of "have good games for a console" just doesnt occur to MS

[nimble current]

they literally responded to bad reviews on steam and social media and basically told people their lackluster impression of the game was wrong

"no the game is great actually, there's hundreds of hours of content and quests in there"

its like if a game ticks all the boxes on their checklist then it must be good

[small comet]

wait i just need 100s of hrs of content for it to be good? i can cram in 100s of hrs of yt videos

[scarlet sail]

jup, the way of the idiot, customer complains but dev says customer wrong, perfect case of "it's not such a bad idea to use a sledgehammer to make them listen"

[small comet]

AAAA game here i come

[sinful cobalt]

I mean if ubisoft wanna somewhat fix their relationship with everyone they need to start to listen to everyone, just like how EA did with battlefield 6 somewhat

[scarlet sail]

pfft

[hardy merlin]

Sure
They still don't deserve my money

[compact oriole]

Huge hype with bf launch but it strongly died down couple months in

[sinful cobalt]

What game doesn’t die down after months ?

[small comet]

ffxiv

[scarlet sail]

ubishit and electronic farts simply are unredeemable at this point, like seriously, the last EA game that was halfway decent was BF2 ages ago and for ubi, well, can't even remember which title it was anymore so probably even longer 😂

[compact oriole]

Successful paid mp games don't lose like 90% of the player base within months

[nimble current]

what's funny is starfield inadvertedly made a lot of people look back on bethesdas fallout games with renewed perspective from suffering through starfield to basically conclude that the FO games are kinda ass too underneath the cool fallout setting/aesthetic

[hardy merlin]

As soon as they'd regain their market, they'd come back immediately to "gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games"

[small comet]

also since when is this a thing to get 40% off after what 6 months of being out?

[scarlet sail]

simple story in both cases, as in ubishit and electronic farts, have your own launcher that is mandatory and you won't be seeing any cash from me, steam has to be enough

[nimble current]

bethesda got a solid af foundation of worldbuilding and lore from the og fallout games and basically decided to go nowhere with it, just reuse the same factions, mobs etc those games had even though they take place on the other side of the US

[scarlet sail]

since they know that's the only way to lure in a few more sales before the dumpsterfire explodes 😄

[nimble current]

BF6 had a strong launch but once the hype died down people realized its still an EA game

[small comet]

imagine you get beaten by payday2 in active player count

[compact oriole]

Funnily enough that has been normal for these kinds of Western aaa studios. EA and Ubisoft have been putting stuff on 50% sales within not even a year

[scarlet sail]

in the end it was just people having the illusion of EA ever redeeming itself, but realized it soon after that there's simply no way for that to ever happen, but the main issue remains sadly, everyone that got BF6 funded the next trash game from them

[nimble current]

gamers never learn

[scarlet sail]

at least a huge chunk of them, yea

[compact oriole]

People have high patience when it's comes to the nostalgia they have in their heads

[small comet]

yeah so they can maybe get some more money out of people

[nimble current]

just keeps rewarding the same shitty corpo practices they claim to be against, all they have to do is dangle the name of a familiar IP they like and any reason or common sense goes out the window

[compact oriole]

Same as mtx. Ppl don't understand that crying on socials does nothing when they don't vote with their wallets

[small comet]

sometimes also the social pressure. like "do you wanna be the 1 guy out of your friend group not playing the new battlefield?" kinda deal

actually had to fight this myself when i was younger

friends always playing the newest cod and bf etc

[hardy merlin]

They basically abandoned core BF6 and focused mainly on RedSec, aka Batlle Royale

[nimble current]

its like people can't just not bother buying/playing the game even if its made by the same soulless money vampires giving them the same grindy repetitive "progression" they've whined about for years already

[scarlet sail]

pfft more like people simply have no standards anymore and the only reason they got a head on their shoulders is that it doesn't rain down their necks (and also would look stupid without), if it would be any different then studios like ubishit, electronic farts, acti-blizz, bugthesda etc would all be bankrupt by now and the remaining studios would finally open their eyes and ears for what people really want

[compact oriole]

Worked out greatly looking at their numbers

[compact oriole]

Well for many those games were a huge part of growing up and sometimes it takes a couple failed entries until they finally stop coping the next one will be better and finally wake up

[hardy merlin]

I swear, when execs see "live service", "microtransactions" and "battle royale", then that tiny bit of brain they have left completely turns off

[buoyant osprey]

Excited for Sony to lose a bunch of money with Fairgame$!

[compact oriole]

Only now is it becoming giga obvious that live service ain't a great option anymore

[nimble current]

just like the gamers when new entry in that game franchise they like is announced

[hardy merlin]

Don't worry, they'll increase PS5 price to $1200

[buoyant osprey]

What about PS6 which we are apparently only a year or two away from?

[scarlet sail]

well, for me BF3 was the final straw for EA, skyrim/FO4 the final one for bugthesda (skipped FO3/NV since back when they came out i was into other stuffs) as for acti-blizz i guess the original COD4MW was the only one and last one i liked just like wow back in 2010 when cata came out 😅

been actively avoiding like 99.9% of any and all AAA games for like 15 years at this point since indie titles simply offer far more for less money

[compact oriole]

They been losing billions on all their live service slop. I love it

Sony I mean

[nimble current]

same since at least 15 years now

why should I pay 60 for your game when these indie guys manages to achieve more with so much less

[compact oriole]

They shoulda cancelled marathon when that stolen art shit happened. And fair games as well

They're never gonna recover the cost

[scarlet sail]

i mean if i look at my library then there's only like 3 AAA games from the past decade or so, and those are MHW, MHWilds and that toxic commando thing that came out a few weeks ago, pretty much everything else is either indie or AA at best

and MHWilds was actually free for me since the company i had my PC build at put a key for it in the box 😄

[compact oriole]

I got a couple more but good games are few and even fewer in the genres I like

I think aaa is going through a painful Renaissance rn

[sinful cobalt]

I just wait 2-3 months with 3A games if something i want i will buy it than

[buoyant osprey]

I still haven't tried a quadrouple A game

[narrow junco]

Do path of exile 1/2 and warframe count as aaa?

Same with expedition 33

[sinful cobalt]

Most of my steam library are 3A games

And a few Indies and 2A games

[hardy merlin]

$1500 for Digital, $1600 for Blu-ray one obviously

[buoyant osprey]

Will you buy my indie game when it is done? I promise it's not a bitcoin miner

[compact oriole]

I'd call e33 as cz of size and budget

[hardy merlin]

In my case it's exactly opposite

[sinful cobalt]

And thats fine

[hardy merlin]

fibe

[sinful cobalt]

I just don’t enjoy indie games for more than a week

[narrow junco]

I love little indie games

If i want something for long term play i go to path of exile or warframe

Loot/grind based live service that arent slop

Tho i have to say, mewgenics does have a good 500 hours of gameplay minimum

[hardy merlin]

Smol indie games are nice
I'm just kinda sad that there's no arcade racers nowadays outside Forza Horizon

[scarlet sail]

which is usually more than any AAA game would offer while costing far more

[compact oriole]

Ye the genre completely died

[narrow junco]

This whole conversation reminds me of an NL clip i saw yesterday

[compact oriole]

I'm still waiting for a Forza Horizon type Vr game.. apparently never coming

Fucking MS not granting my dream

[sinful cobalt]

Its too much even i play them for an hour and thats it xd

[scarlet sail]

arcade racers still have it halfway decently, imagine being a fan of the old rock&roll racing 2 (PS1 era) there's literally nothing at all that would get even close to that level of mayhem xD

[hardy merlin]

A lot of AAA games nowadays don't have a good story or content, everything is an eye-candy now

[mellow garden]

Outside of WoW and FFXIV, Nintendo games are my most played over the last year.

[hardy merlin]

[mellow garden]

Now that we’re getting FFXIV for Switch 2… Nintendo Switch 2 might monopolise my gaming hours.

[hardy merlin]

Yeah, Nintendo seems to be an outlier, they make really good AAA games

[small comet]

welll

hold your horses

[narrow junco]

Nintendo games arent usually AAA

They have lower budgets and faster development cycles

[small comet]

they have this pokemon thing that doesnt go too well for them in the main series games

[narrow junco]

game freak is not nintendo

[narrow junco]

Plus they probably spend like 20k on producing each entry

Which makes it not aaa

[mellow garden]

Pokémon Pokopia stole five hours from me yesterday and I didn’t even realise. Not locked in that hard for a while (MMOs excluded).

[small comet]

well they have tons of control via the pokemon company over it

[hardy merlin]

I mean last Zeldas were really solid, same with SM Odyssey

[mellow garden]

Donkey Kong Bananza is very good

[narrow junco]

[scarlet sail]

meanwhile on my profile

[hardy merlin]

I put over 150h into BotW, but I was a bit sad that there wasn't a bit of gameplay after defeating Ganon, like roaming around uncorrupted world and all that

Though Master Sword trials is a peak gameplay and I loved every single bit of it

[mellow garden]

Yeah, but he’s bald.

[narrow junco]

I really enjoyed botw

[mellow garden]

[narrow junco]

True true

Opinion invalidated

[scarlet sail]

pfft, the level of illusion must be high, nopetendo owns 32% of the pokemon company, pokemon being exclusive to nopetendo consoles on top is plenty to call them being owned by nopetendo

[small comet]

slay the spire is trash though

[narrow junco]

https://tenor.com/view/big-lebowski-the-dude-your-opinion-gif-4476328

[scarlet sail]

well, it's a card battler, most of them are trash xD

[small comet]

its 33 % i think they did a joint venture with equal shares i believe but they are at the end of the day the publisher so they can always refuse

[narrow junco]

Still not the same company/entity

[small comet]

ok so a publisher just publishing slop shouldnt be punished just the studio that made it

got it

[scarlet sail]

jup, 1/3 of the shares plus owning the exclusive consoles a product ships to literally means complete ownership

[narrow junco]

Not what i said

[small comet]

basically you did. the point is nintendo is publishing this and apparently not trying to get gamefreak (a company i suspect they also hold quite a big share in) to even make them better

[narrow junco]

idk whats going on behind the scenes

Seems like they are trying to improve things now with the upcoming entry and pokopia

[hardy merlin]

Why would they, money flows, Big N is happy

[mellow garden]

I enjoyed Pokémon Legends: Z-A

I look forward to Pokémon Winds/Waves

[small comet]

i mean prob more cause koei tecmo has standards

[narrow junco]

I havent bought any pokemon game since sun/moon for a reason

[hardy merlin]

Says enough about Pokemon die-hard fans when they were buying all 5 language versions of LeafGreen and FireRed ports for $20 each

[scarlet sail]

well, they at least share the same office space, but afaik it's mostly on nopetendo and them keeping back gamefreak from doing any improvements outside the box because nopetendo kept running on the premise:
"why improve something when we can simply sue any and all competition so people got no choice but buy our shit"

[small comet]

eh i think gamefreak just has no real idea how to make a proper 3d pokemon in the same way they did the 2d games

cities always look kinda dead and fake for example

and the well memed performance issues

[scarlet sail]

eh, i'd blame that mostly on nopetendo and them demanding the games at a certain pace, so there's simply not enough time for gamefreak to ever do any major developing on the world

[narrow junco]

That probably did not help

[scarlet sail]

i mean just gotta check the release dates, it's always been 1-2 years at most between any pokemon game, so obviously it's gonna suffer from it, especially when moving from 2D which is fairly easy in terms of world building vs 3D which requires immensely more effort

[narrow junco]

But as a sidenote, if you stop calling them nopetendo every time, it might make you seem less annoying and easy to agree with 😄 just switch it up a bit every time instead of sticking to the one thing

[scarlet sail]

well, it's just the best fitting term both in terms of how i'm instantly nopeing out when i see anything from them and them instantly pushing the nope-lawyer button whenever some kind of competition shows up

just gotta look at palworld, the shit they sued them over was so hilarious one would really wish that someone nuked their lawyer center, (and also the patenting office) since they literally filed patents months AFTER palworld has been a thing already plus some stuffs that they weren't even the first to introduce, like riding on summoned creatures, we've had that for over a decade by now from all sorts of games, but nope, they had the nerve to patent it and sue palworld over it

[narrow junco]

Eh, yo-kai watch was a thing for a long time and so have other creature collectors like monster hunter stories. The palworld thing is weird cause they were clearly using stolen assets but instead they sued them for some random bs that should never have been something they could sue over (or patented)

[outer pollen]

Yokai watch is peak

[scarlet sail]

palworld using stolen assets? not really

[outer pollen]

No Yo-Kai watch slander
