discord uses electron which implements chromium and v8
wheat kraken

lone sequoia
I was told that you could build native win10 html apps through edge
has electron been compiled on ARM yet?
not to hate on chrome, but both edge and safari have much better visual integrity
ik safari uses webkit, and I'm pretty sure edge uses something made by microsoft
it kinda surprises me how few developments have been made with chrome over the past few years
mostly just been bugfixes and redesigns, no new web standard features or anything
even microsoft AND mozilla have rewritten their own browsers from the bottom up
I also heard that microsoft was dropping edgeHTML for blink

fuck edge and safaro tho

I yesterday had to use IE to download a file that Chrome permanently blocked.
Didn't work, installed Firefox over IE.
bleak pike
This is silly
I mean it's obvious what rockstar are doing
But people are way to dramatic
They don't know what grind means
......
Not a single mention of treasure hunts which give you a shit ton
@turbid mantle probably because it was unsafe. Just go to downloads and click keep file
Are you trash talking chrome for keeping users safe?
sleek gorge
Eh, nobody likes a grind. Even if there are activities that nab you a lot of money, doing them over and over is still a grind

Someone said it takes about 6-8h per gold bar and a good horse is about 16-18 gold so a good horse will take 96-144 hours to grind for

Ye except treasure chests yo

From what I’ve read treasure hunt maps are hard to find and most of them give hardly anything
It doesn’t seem like a reliable way of making money

@bleak pike no I love chrome.
It's just that chrome didn't give me that option. And even IE tried to 'Protect' me. So I had to scrap ie the one time it might have helped.

MFW getting 30-40FPS in Fallout 76...on medium ish settings with no sync locks...on a 2080
robust ridge
That's why I'm part of the r/patientgamers community. Buying game full price day 1 is the stupidest thing to. You have tons of bugs, and the price drops extremely quick.
Fallout 76 is $25 since mid november, in a few month it won't be worth more than $15
orchid prism
I bought it like 66% off...stiiiil.... was expecting at least a reasonably stable 60fps
bleak pike
Ye I don't buy games right away too
ripe tendon
30-40 with a 2080? that's weird
Pretty sure the wife gets a mostly stable 60 with a 1080
lone oasis
i got 70 on high with a 1080TI
is your 2080 on fire?
and i got you that deal @orchid prism :p
robust ridge
Weird thing, with low settings and high end gpus, framerate is lower than with high settings.
Low settings make the GPU runs at 30-40% of its capacities
@orchid prism You should try with higher settings and if you have a 1080p monitor, try Dynamic Screen Resoltution
ripe tendon
not sure of an avg for my 1700x/1080ti but definitely not 30-40
you borderless by any chance?
I had to set the iPresentInterval or w/e to get decent borderless frames
orchid prism
Always - Which also tends to give me better FPs and a lot of a less headaches 😄
ripe tendon
my default borderless was about that
orchid prism
I've even tried uncapping fps/hz through nVidia control panel as instructed elsewhere to try and remove the FPS cap
ripe tendon
Fullscreen for me was fine and borderless was shit until after they released the fps uncap patch and then I had to set iPresentInterval=0 in Fallout76Prefs.ini under [Display]

The configurator on nexusmods is really handy if you're wanting to change UI colors. Sadly I don't think power armor ui can be changed just with ini

Fallout 1+2 had great humour and RPG elements but they feel too dated to play these days

There's no way a game based on FC5 is good since FC5 was hot trash 😦
although they could do a few things to make it more tolerable. Like remove their crap progression restriction they had in co-op, remove co-op tether, and make the gameplay not so unbelievably boring and repetitive

I was doing 60 stable from what I could tell on Ultra but dialed a few things back just to get as much as I could with decent quality still
they did remove some odd settings it seems and still not ptt keybind even though they have ptt? seems odd
my god is their HUB movement absolute trash though 😂

destiny 2 is trash and nobody can convince me otherwise lol

texture stitching is smth forge does
eh dont really care anyway cause idk i overplayed both
i dont really get the same joy out of the two as like 3000 hours gametime before
i remember when i was too dumb for mc and punched rock with my fists
i didnt get crafting in the beginning
and 1 google search later i was the god of minecraft
sometimes i wish i could just enjoy old games the same as when i first played them
for me its this weird feeling that i really wanna play ffvii, kh2 and all those great games
but when i start a new adventure after a while i just feel bad cause i know exactly what will happen
as in i played the games so many times i know everything

Since graphic quality is about the same

I guess it depends on how you look at it
If it’s playable, and you get a lot of pleasure out of it. And they keep adding more features to it and holdup their development speed. It doesn’t really matter anymore.
Not like “when it’s done, everything will be amazing”
So get it done!
But this is just generalizing it. It’s still pretty ridiculous.

ripe tendon
do the games that you're REALLY interested in have alphas/betas?
by the way, I actually like AC Odyssey. I've hated every other AC but I'm enjoying this one
orchid prism
It's.... bad. Really bad. If you expect a shooter.
If you expect an MMORPG with shooter mechanics, go nuts.
ripe tendon
Does anybody expect The Division to be a shooter?
orchid prism
Well 100% of the gameplay is running around and shooting stuff
ripe tendon
yeah but it's third person which feels like it already takes away from the shooter-ery-ness and it's full of loot so it gets thrown into the looter shooter rpg whatever group
orchid prism
To each their own of course - I got so fed up with it, once "bosses" and "elite" enemies started acting like bullet sponges. You could spend minutes headshotting the same guy with a 50cal sniper rifle, and he'd still be laughing at you.
orchid prism
This is why I tend to gravitate towards games with fast TTK. CoD style games like Titanfall and Overwatch
ripe tendon
Difficulty and adding people just turns mobs into aimbots or bullet sponges rather than any other improvements
ripe tendon
oh yeah, Division PvP sucks
orchid prism
I'm just waiting for Titanfall 3 to release honestly. Only MP game I care about these days. OW's gotten old - Too many people being salty about not getting their specific char.

ripe tendon
I haven't been able to get into OW in ages. Not sure why just get so bored with it. I don't think any MP shooters of any type have me excited tbh. Borderlands 3 is the only shootery game I want and pray they didn't fuck it up. I ❤ co-op

Can't think of the last game I paid full price for. Paying retail for most modern games is such a rip-off
hardy zephyr
D2 right now is way better than at release + base game is (or was) free on most platform , they lowered time to kill in PvP to D1 level, content is big enough on Forsaken DLCs. but that's a co-op game , if you don't have a team you can't enjoy it.
the real game actually start after the campaign..

it's decent.You can definitely tell it's alpha but was decent otherwise for me

Atlas legit just looks like an ARK mod
bleak pike
@ripe tendon at least ark works
ripe tendon
true
it had about the same launch though from what I remember
top of the line CPUs and GPUs could barely run it 😂
sleek gorge
Are people genuinely surprised atlas is a buggy piece of shit?
sleek gorge
A misleading trailer will do that to ya
bleak pike
Actually
@sleek gorge @ripe tendon that's not true
The issue isn't hardware, the game runs really good intact
It's the starting areas, they fucked it up, there's literally hundreds of bodies sleeping which is causing stress on the server and gpu
Once you're outside the spawn the game is fine
ripe tendon
that surprises me
ripe tendon
wait, is that when you logout? lol
holy shit those textures though. that has to be all low
bleak pike
Because you can't run the game I'm spawn towns so you have to run it low even with 20fps
If they just eliminated bodies in spawn this wouldn't be an issue
ripe tendon
is it full loot or do they not give you access to bodies or what
sleek gorge
How many of those people have given up on the game and will never wake up I wonder
I mean of course there's probably server wipes but still
sleek gorge
I just get the feeling it's one of those games that gets big because it's popular with streamers, then dies when they move on

Does anyone have experience with One-System strategies in stellaris 2.2? (Atleast until Midgame, so I can snowball with my superior technology >:3)

Nope. Too tall for my tastes

Does anyone here play siege and fancy helping my out by logging in to my account and getting the charms for me while I'm away from my PC? I'd normally ask a mate to do it but they're being funny about it and I'm a kleptomaniac when it comes to siege stuff

@turbid mantle they sometimes do weekly challenges where you can get skins/charms. So right now there's some new years charms you can get
turbid mantle
I know about them doing their challenges for charms (if there is something) but I didn't realise there is one currently :)

There's two actually

Does analog strafing currently work in pubg? Or did this only work in older versions of pubg?
The windows/steam version of pubg that is..
lone sequoia
I would tell you if I had mine lol
bleak pike
@urban lava it does but its rather tedious
urban lava
Because you have to set it each time you play?
I read something about that but haven't gotten it to work yet.
bleak pike
No the issue is icons
urban lava
Can you give me a brief idea of what needs changed to make it work?
tawny bay
do any of you guys have an opinion on a rhythm game made for the wooting? sorta as a practice tool to get sued to being accurate with the analog controls.
bleak pike
Sounds pretty cool
lone sequoia
inb4 ill make it
oh wait cant do that without a keyboard
speaking of which, what kind of APIs does the wooting have?
tawny bay
you can check #🤖│community_dev
i don't really like rythm games but i feel it would be the best way to practice, and it would also be cool to setup a song visualizer that connects to you keyboard

The only thing suspension has helped me with is off road grip
neat cypress
in besiege it seems that the simplest things often work best and making something complicated often makes it worse.
sly citrus
its a tender balance of reality sucking and games being entirely unrealistic.
sly citrus
I think you're better than me at besiege...
neat cypress
I just find it funny that I can make a working quadcopter but struggle with making a car drive on a bumpy road.
unless its tank controls.
sly citrus
I know exactly how you feel
if you want to make working drive shafts or cv boots, use hinges and sliders.
neat cypress
yeah I used pistons to turn a flat plane for turning last time.
sly citrus
Do you you mind if I send you a friend request?
sly citrus
I think I should try to make a two piston engine with some mods as my next project
neat cypress
then I attach the wheel to the plane and it turns but its not a smooth turn, just on or off.
the wheels in the game just seem to have very low grip.
I've seen a lot of the engines on the subreddit.
sly citrus
have you ever messed with friction pads?
neat cypress
yeah but mostly trying to use them as brakes for a hovercraft I made.
they usually broke off.
sly citrus
do you ever turn on invincibility?
neat cypress
yeah but its more fun to me if they can break. Just so there is a risk and to give a damn about if they are sturdy heh.
sly citrus
nearly all my machines are too fragile for what I expect of them haha
I tried to make a tethered rocked javelin and that was a miserable failure.
neat cypress
I played with a friend and tried to make rockets that would fly straight.
a lot of loops happening.
sly citrus
hah no
my favorite mod ever was a mod that allowed all scales to increase regardless of limits
so you could make the thrust of a rocket far greater than standard.
neat cypress
I just usually feel like using mods can make things easier in some way. I know it gives more options but I like limitations I think.
sly citrus
I see what you mean. It gives you a greater level of experience and problem solving skills
neat cypress
I would give so much for a good littlebigplanet clone on PC.
orchid prism
Aww yiss.
wheat kraken
so i'm jealous.
lone oasis
so either steam is inflating the "discount percentage" or they can't count
neat cypress
Wish it had just said 100% off because it would technically be true.
neat cypress
so 100% off 0 is still 0?
why it has a before price though.. thats a good question.
lone oasis
because it used to be paid
neat cypress
but it wasn't before the sale right?
neat cypress
a bit off to give something a new price to make it look like its on sale even if it was a mistake.
turbid mantle
No, it's just a bug with steams system.
lone sequoia
^ it does that all the time with tf2
it's probably some combination of how tf2 used to cost money, it being part of the paid for "orange box", and it belonging to valve
sly citrus
Does tf2 support variable input with the wooting?
turbid mantle
It does support dxinput, I don't remember if you can slow walk etc.
About the price thing:
Risen, by deepsilver games was once at -1,69€.
Because it was only sold in a pack and that was on sale.
lone sequoia
did it give you money or just sell it for free?
turbid mantle
Neither, you could only buy it in the complete Deepsilver collection.
Not as a game on its own.
orchid prism
Hep!

Haven't played 2, but Enemy Unknown was equal parts fantastic and frustrating
ripe tendon
The hit %'s are so frustrating to me.
sleek gorge
Reminded of this classic image
orchid prism
65% makes sense though. It's a turn based game of a real life situation. Missing on 100% due to rounding errors however...
My biggest gripe with XCOM are those special scenarios that if triggered too early can end campaigns that aren't savescummed hard.
orchid prism
Wait - My actual biggest gripe is how AI moves. I hate the way they get to take a free move when spotted.
orchid prism
Just feels weird and unfair. It forces you to metagame hard to set up an ambush.
ripe tendon
wish they did co-op more in strat games like XCOM.
campaign co-op, not that let's play each other shit
ripe tendon
Yeah I've looked into it but it seems to have some issues if it's the same one I looked at

Just ten minutes ago I did my first Sans run
I beat Sans
and it was the first game I played with this Wooting
I swear, the tiny travel distance must've helped out
It felt so much quicker to respond
lone sequoia
I think 3kliksphilip did a video on response time in keyboards
Can't remember if he talked about the Wooting in it or not but I think he might've because he specifically said that shorter travel distance equates to better response time

agh, Insurgency Sandstorm is one of those games that are so close to working with the Wooting. Mouse working perfectly while using analog movement, but button prompts and the freeaim hipfire prevents it from being usable.

How does the hipfire cause problems with wooting if the mouse is fine?

good choice
hallow bramble
As this is a general gaming channel, I suppose there are players here who like story heavy turn based RPG's. I'm researching the genre a bit as it's not my cup of tea and I need to know it a bit for my job. Are there indeed some fans of the genre who can answer some questions?
wheat kraken
JRPGs are good for that. Dragon Warrior/Quest (8 is my favourite personally), Final Fantasy (12 holds my favourite for that title but it's not turn based.).
turbid mantle
Well, JRPGs are most of that Genre, except for Divinity
wheat kraken
yea
hallow bramble
Is it a genre that gets new games regularly? It seems to be a pretty small niche
The type of turn based I mean is the battles in the old Heroes of Might and Magic games. I don't know if the same system is used in the recent games of that series
turbid mantle
Oh, so you mean more tactical, like Fire Emblem and XCOM?
hallow bramble
No, not like Xcom.
A battle system like this: https://cdn.gameflare.com/games/images/2016-2/heroes-of-might-and-magic-2.jpg
turbid mantle
Computer decided to BSOD, yay.
Back.
Heroes of might and Magic, Fire Emblem, Divinity etc. are more of a strategy game than an RPG at points.
ripe tendon
Divinity is fucking greeeaaaat
nocturne rose
I love Heroes
hallow bramble
Fans of genres sometimes complain there are no new games coming out for it. Is this the case for JRPGs?
ripe tendon
They may not come out as often as other genres but I think JRPGs still come out at a fair rate
I mean not like PS2 days but there's still some
hallow bramble
Ok, that sounds like a healthy genre.
Is there any innovation in the genre or do the games a bit of the same thing?
bleak pike
ripe tendon
Some innovate and some stick to what works for them. There are some franchises that are similar to games like CoD or Battlefield. They know people buy their games if they basically do the same thing with a slight alteration

I can't wait for my Wooting Two, I think tachyon mode will really help in Beat Saber!

A few* monitors.
trim rock
Apparently you can turn it on for the ones that don't meet the requirements
Only 12 passed out of the 400 tested, yikes
ripe tendon
"For gamers who have monitors that we have not yet tested, or that have failed validation, we’ll give you an option to manually enable [G-Sync], too," says Nvidia's press release.
if only 12 of 400 passed their test that leads me to believe they're not making much of an effort
nocturne rose
"we tried to copy Freesync but failed" is how i read that lol
trim rock
To me that just reads as what I seem to always be seeing in those FS monitors, they just seem worse than the GSync counterparts
bleak pike
They need to just bloody open source that shit
willow quiver
You mean they need ro use freesync?
bleak pike
Gsync
willow quiver
Problem with gsync is that they required extra hardware for around 100$ in each monitor
At least in the past
willow quiver
It's basically the same like it is with crossfire and sli
Even though crossfire uses morebandwith pretty much any motherboard with 2 or more pcieX16 slots can do it
Since it's free
hushed iris
They are just realizing that people arent buying as many monitors as they had hoped
So in order to not lose any marketshare to amd/radeon they are doing this so their cards are compatible with any async monitor
willow quiver
well
gsync is pretty old now
and people bought those
it was introduced with the 600 series I think
hollow sphinx
........but gsync is the better of the 2
orchid prism
And much more expensive.
orchid prism
Wouldn't surprise me tbh.
nocturne rose
hardOCP tested them in blind test too
there's no real difference between the two
just, the goalposts for certification for Freesync are wider
so more variance on the not-so-good ones
not so much with Freesync 2, that needs a tighter set of specs because of the HDR
funfact: my $2000 4k 144hz gsync monitor screen tears more than my $500 freesync monitor
orchid prism
lone sequoia
gsync is trash don't use tbh
my monitor is gsync but it does awful at anything other than 144
I tried gsync and it was just a flickery mess
set your framerate limiters and hope for the best tbh
triple buffer if you really want to
grand furnace
on my side, G-Sync is kind of enjoyable, if i am over 40 fps. but many windows universal apps are really stupid. Like on Spotify, my monitor goes down to 5 fps and so on. then it is a really flickery mess, and for example the Neflix/Edge App is unusable with G-Sync on my side (low framerate and frame skipping)
hushed iris
@lone sequoia you might just be sensitive to the framerate changes
Or your monitor sucks?
lone sequoia
Sucks probably
It's hardcore flickerint
Remind me when I get home and I'll send a vid
