I used them a few times when I was a kid
cedar harbor
I don't think anyone is offended by that. ๐
remote yoke
I pissed myself laughing almost
I was in a 1337 h4ck3r clan so we had stuff that bested the anti-cheats
only used hacks a few times though but getting people to rage over the mic really amused me
fringe salmon
I used hacks once, when a game called S4 League was overrun by "hackers" aka script kiddies, because they saved variables for health etc. as plaintext, so if I would play against a hacker I would just block our goal with hacks so he couldn't do anything 
remote yoke
Yeah the filtering is horrible, I will never support games that rule their MP environment like a monarchy. I'm all about hosting my own modded dedicated servers in games like Gmod
I know nothing about the man
The most recently released PvP shooter I thoroughly enjoyed was Natural Selection 2 seven years ago
Valve should just override his judgement
G a mix of several of those
fringe salmon
yea how about we not root for publishers to override devs even if in this case you would prefer it
remote yoke
Yeah I wouldn't generally want that from publishers, since that kind of thing is one of the major issues with EA, Bethesda, and others
Yes that game mode exists
I even tried it out of curiosity
Yeah, I have zero interest in PvP shooters these days
I liked playing SCP Breach with friends, but most public servers for that are trash
I've tried it, though last I checked it was a work in progress
What I'm really waiting for is the Unity based Containment Breach which is single player, not sure if it'll ever finish though
Yeah I mean Facepunch moved on to Rust
Paid mods
what a psycho
DLC isn't all bad but yeah Garry seems like scum
You could also have a good vanilla game but terrible and/or overpriced DLC
I like DLCs that serve as very nice expansions
but yeah most DLCs seem like scams, those are games I usually avoid outright
War of the Chosen hell yes
not even an expansion, but the quality is superb
On paper it sounds like a bad DLC; a revision of the base game
You'd think "Well why wasn't the base game like this in the first place?"
But the base game is great, the expansion is just new ideas injected into it
It had some changes I didn't like and some potential instability
There's something about XCOM 2 and mods breaking it
Very volatile
fringe salmon
you don't like the classic 8% hitrate for a weapon right up the aliens butt?
or the 100% hitchance that misses 
remote yoke
Luckily it is easy to adjust some of those stats
there are some shots that should be 100%
(I also buff AI so that they get a bonus to hit based on proximity like you do)
with that said, 98% for that shot is fine ๐
I stick to the 2nd hardest (Commander) because I'm not masochistic
I almost always play games on their "Hard" difficulty equivalent
Never
Haha I don't think I've ever encountered anything that bad. The most BS I've had is just shots that should be 100% but aren't, so I end up missing a 95% shot that I should never miss (e.g. enemy is two tiles away or even one)
the usual
Grenadier?
I like having two in a six person squad
Rangers always end up with the most kills in my playthrough though
Largely due to the ability that lets them gain AP after killing something
The only issues I have are with mods

Yesterday was funny, in case no one knows there's a Minecraft mod called thaumcraft which is magical research which allows you to make awesome items, the problem is however the more magic and research you do the more corruption you product around you... Now in the newer one you can literally have a black hole that spawns which sucks things up and gets bigger and bigger. Someone in the global chat (chat mod) popped up and asked ugh how do I get rid of black holes, I told him I usually build far away from my base in a cabin somewhere to prevent any chaos. Poor sod said "ye I didn't know that and my base is currently being destroyed"
Hehehhe don't do thaumcraft kids

why is MC super popular all of a sudden?
or being talked about or w/e?
yeah I know it's always been popular I guess.
It just seems like everybody I know is playing all of a sudden
which means I'll end up playing it because peer pressure
As long as they don't expect me to manage the server again I'm fine I guess
it's just so goddamn ugly and runs like shit ๐

remote yoke
lol I thought you typo'd "The Outer Worlds" which got the same treatment
ripe tendon
Never heard of that game. Sounds interesting
willow quiver
yea
well it doesn't make epic better
they made the offer
the dev is bad for accepting it
epic introduced this exclusivity to the market
without them doing it we wouldn't have it
yea?
why shouldn't i?
they introduce something bad in a market to get a profit themselves
they are
they are also pretty bad
it'S not 100% their fault
the publishers/devs are also at fault
yea
there is epic on one side and a lot of devs/publishers on the other side
epic is 50% at fault
and the devs/publishers are the other 50%
tbh you should add the people that still buy the games to that
yea
tbh if steam died and epic would be the replacement it would be a regression
we'd loose a lot of features
epic is just worse
if they didn't do exclusivity nobody would buy from them since their store is worse
which is why they do exclusivity
and the boycotters may be a minority, but a big one
tbh if it offered me any real benefit I might consider it
but it doesn't
the games aren't cheaper like they promised
small comet
i dont want yet another library... i want to keep all my shit in 1 place and not 40
willow quiver
if I ever switch to linux I loose all my games
etc
makes the eclusivity worse
well, I understand their business decisions
they have a pretty short plan tbh
small comet
like on steam i can buy uplay games and have em in my steam lib ... why cant i buy games from epic on there
willow quiver
if they put the money in improving their store and getting stuff like linux compatability for their launcher
the ubi store is terrible
epic only has one game
which is free
they do have more
but it's really only one now
raw wren
Tbh, the exclusivity is just the tip of the iceberg
willow quiver
I'm happy that warframe will never get on their store
raw wren
What about the monthly data leakages epic has?
small comet
what about epics chinese servers to store account details including cc info
willow quiver
those are terrible
small comet
communist government sure is happy
willow quiver
they also still have some gsdpr violations afaik
raw wren
I have seen my email and hash for my pass been cracked, so I don't doubt they have serious security issues.
small comet
sure steam has faults aswell like that one time at christmas were people saw other peoples data
but
it was very limited
willow quiver
steam doesn't buy exclusivity though?
titanfall/apex legends are source games
they won't get a steam release soon
well
I want bl3
and if people still buy from epic they support it
if epic doesn't stop and publishers agree to it why should any of them stop
well
it is for some people
not gonna support somethign which forcefully segregates the market
hopefully
why should they stop though
the publishers have a guarantee to get their money back
and epic get's money because people have to buy from them
they can
ik
but I can't complain otherwise?
and I have been waiting on bl3 for years
trim rock
You'll just have to wait half year longer (or a year, or whatever)
willow quiver
half a year in that case
at least I wasn't one of the guy backing a crowdfunded game
in th hope of getting a gog key
and then have to get a store which basically bought the game you paid for
at least they deliver the product unlike facebook/oculus
small comet
not really
willow quiver
well
at least somewhat go with the time
epic isn't any kind of step forward
people liked steam because it wasn't featureless
small comet
drm free usually just fuels piracy more than anything
small comet
because we have drm because of pirates
willow quiver
if the game is actually good most people will still buy it
trim rock
And yet.. we still have piracy even with DRM
willow quiver
after pirating
willow quiver
and people who don't still pirate with drm
small comet
the thing is i dont like pirating but if all games are drm free anyway why would i buy em
willow quiver
to support the devs?
trim rock
To support the developers
small comet
the devs literally scream "we dont care who copies this" with drm free
theres no way for them to even know a legit copy from a pirated one
willow quiver
nah
drm free may fuel piracy at first
the games will get cracked anyways
so the pirates still get it
most people who pirate drm free games and like them buy them
warm yew
well there is a lot of drm what isnt garbage
willow quiver
it's somewhat like the 2 hour refunds in steam with less steps
small comet
like as long as there is an effort to stop free game copies floating around, be it even a simple cd key, ill support the devs. but if they dont put in any effort to stop scriptkiddy2008 from just straight up copying the game from their friends i wont put any effort into buying
warm yew
deamon tools or any other "iso mounter" well windows 10 even has one build in
willow quiver
so why should you buy denuvo games if they offer a worse experience?
just pirate them /s
small comet
but i dont see a reason to support someone that basically sells the linux kernel when i can get a free copy thats literally the same as the bought one
willow quiver
if the game is free why should I buy it
not like the devs need money to live
and without money they can't make games anymore
small comet
so put in anything thag stops the simple act of ctrl+c and ctrl+v
if copying a game is that easy i wont consider giving u a cent
warm yew
lol
willow quiver
"anything" is insecure af
small comet
they know when u take shit
willow quiver
and can usually be bypassed by copying the cd/dvd or some shit
stuff that 10 year olds can bypass
small comet
but who owns a dvd/cd burner bowadays
small comet
welp still an effort to protect the game
willow quiver
remember how effective cd swapping was?
resulted in 1 guy at a lan owning the game
everybody could play it
0 effort
small comet
thats not true
willow quiver
it is
small comet
cd swapping is effort
willow quiver
not really
small comet
cause u need to do it on every boot
im talking straight up no effort
copy and paste and play without ever doing anything again
warm yew
most drms result in bad game performance
willow quiver
just support the devs if you like their stuff
wtf
"why should I buy music if i get everything from boerse"
small comet
no i u compare it wrong
willow quiver
not really
small comet
drm free is like me taking rocks and selling them whike standing besides a field of the same rocks
like exactly the same
would u pay for those rocks
warm yew
cracking still takes effort
willow quiver
why no drm on musi cds?
cracking takes effort
with stupid download links etc
yea
warm yew
if you can make a decent licensing system it becomes hard
willow quiver
i understand people pirating, but if you like the product pay the devs
small comet
pirates dont oay tho
willow quiver
they wouldn't pay anyways
warm yew
pirating doesnt hurt me, but it hurts the game dev
small comet
like i said in ny comparison if u dont make an effort to protect what ure selling from being literally taken without u ever knowing if ut was legitimatelly bought or not... i dont see why id pay you
warm yew
wat
willow quiver
you do know there actuall are statistics on the effectiveness of drm and licensing
didn't reduce piracy one bit
why should you not pirate a game if cracking is either 1. running a .exe or 2. ctrl+c and ctr+v files
small comet
@vital wyvern so taking a rock from a field is stealing cause someone sells pet rocks
i see
willow quiver
like 0 effort for the guy pirating it
small comet
see so i can se rocks from a pubkic field or u go pick one urself for free
same as drm free games
willow quiver
the games don't come from nothing though
warm yew
but rocks dont require knowledge and development
small comet
rocks dont either
willow quiver
or are you telling me that a rock takes manpower to create
small comet
na it takes earth power
willow quiver
"why do people buy gravestones if they can just take a random stone"/s
it takess work to make a game
most people recognize that
"if they don't put drm in a game means i can take it" is just an excuse for stealing it

@willow quiver literally means they dont care if its copied or not cause they "trust the community"
small comet
u mean the ones who literally only acknowledged that it ws cracked
willow quiver
willow quiver
it doesnt matter for sales

True or False: Toggle for Sprint should always be on in games instead of holding it?
fringe salmon
depends on the game
ripe tendon
Heathen
fringe salmon
ripe tendon
you're probably the kind of person who uses toggle for aim down sights too aren't you?
fringe salmon
ew no
fringe salmon
I fast paced games I find it much easier to release the sprint key if needed rather than pressing it again
willow quiver
tbh
toggle sprint is good for controllers
in some games you basically have to spam sprint and then toggle is somewhat unprecise
warframe with toggle sprint would be horrible
ripe tendon
I mean when using it for an actual sprint not insane choreography
willow quiver
uhh
sprinting is kinda overrated in warframe, so I am pretty biased against it
you basically spam shift+ctrl+space
and a short shift press is a roll, which is also important to movement
so toggle sprint would make you slower
ripe tendon
yeah I remember that routine and I fucking hated it lol
ripe tendon
I didn't play long enough to bother lol
willow quiver
tbh at some point you get so used to the movement and room layouts that you can do them blind as soon as you recognize the room
makes you run into many door lasers
but you are faster than most people without using any mobility mods
trim rock
Yeah and later on you might spice up your movement by doing 5->ctrl+spacespacespacespace->5
willow quiver
?
it is legit how you move in that game
you use shift+ctrl to slide
jump out of it
do a double jump
trim rock
I am aware, but you don't spice it up with some void dashing?
willow quiver
and then roll in the air
ohh
yea
not that fast imo
only usable for short distances on open maps
archwing is faster
so aw launcher>shift+space>222222222222
nowadays preferably slightly upward so you can use the melee slam acceleration
trim rock
Oh yes
willow quiver
hopefully the new update comes soon
have nothing to do in that game anymore
except logging in to farm login rewards
so I can get the last missing weapon
but tbh I can manage both normal and toggle sprint
but prefer the non-toggle version
trim rock
Yeah gimme that content so I have something to grind for for a couple of days plz and I prefer holding to sprint because I want to hurt my fingers
willow quiver
lol
well, using your pinky to press shift and ctrl repeatedly is pretty good for your fingers
i am 100% positive about it

fringe salmon
well you asked what engine they use lol
ripe tendon
which suuucked apaprently
willow quiver
I thought it used one of bethesdas owned engines
isn't the engine from madmax/just cause one of square enix engines?
fringe salmon
inhouse engine from Avalanche
ripe tendon
Apex
willow quiver
I hope it runs well then
fringe salmon
not to be confused with the game Apex which uses Source engine
willow quiver
because I don't remember madmax or jc4 running especially well on pc
btw I still think it's weird that titanfall 2 uses source
fringe salmon
modified source
ripe tendon
I didn't have issues with Mad Max when I played it originally but JC4 is apparently dogshit
fringe salmon
I mean they use a completely custom render pipelien iirc for example, among other stuff, so it's basically just like using a lot of dlls from one project 
willow quiver
true
but acustom render pipeline doesn't fix your engine not handling anything bigger than cbble well
fringe salmon
depends, if the rendering is the issue then it does
willow quiver
cs can handle more
but they are pretty conservative with DZ
maybe a custom render pipeline does ifx it though
since you can mess around with how the engine culls
likely makes hacking more effective though
and eac/battleye aren't very secure
fringe salmon
wait why is a custom render pipeline more likely to allow hacking lol
willow quiver
source usually culls very aggresively
fringe salmon
culling distance is a number you set
willow quiver
so a wh can't see the whole map, since it is already culled server side
even then, most anti cheats are pretty bad
and no company actually makes a good one
or rather sells a good one
fringe salmon
if anything it makes it harder since you cant use the same stuff that works on counter strike and need to find new ones
willow quiver
nah
it can pretty much be taken over
the biggest hurdle is that you need to have a license to sign drivers
which isn't cheap
with that you can easily bypass eac and battleye
small comet
easy... clients only send inputs to the server and the server sends back images
willow quiver
oof
small comet
cant cheat the system really
willow quiver
even then you could use an aimbot lol
a terrible one, but it is one

And I don't wanna pay loads for delivery
Also you can use the edge 7 batter on normal?
willow quiver
well, at least theirs works on both
idk how good that "genuine" battery on amazon is
bleak pike
Tbh the warrenty on the ones on ebay seems fair
willow quiver
and due to how amazon warehouses work it is basically lottery
bleak pike
I mean say the battery dies in a year I can just get a replacement via warrenty
It's not like I'm keeping this phone for 2 more years
willow quiver
well, in the best case it dies quietly
and you always run into the risk of breaking your back glass
at least it's not that expensive
bleak pike
Won't explode
willow quiver
well
bleak pike
Most phone shops use these batteries
willow quiver
if the battery is shit and the company that made them doesn't know what qc is it might
fading spade
That's the on phone I have yes
willow quiver
since the warehouse system basically allows anyone to sell anything on amazon udner a certain article
so you could put a fake item under a real article and amazon would put it in that stock
bleak pike
What I'll do then is try it with a hair dryer first
If no luck I'll get a heat gun
And if all goes south, well lesson learned
I replaced a one plus one battery before ๐
@fading spade would you recommend it? Any cons?

Stable how? Crashing in game?
I had alot of issues crashing due to my RAM, when I tried to clock them more than I realized they could manage.
hollow sphinx
my ram is rated for 3000 mhz
i will be playing....and then my framerate will drop to a slideshow
and the pc will beep when i love the cursor
from the information ove gathered it apears to be the program or driver using its full allotment of memory in its dedicated memort space
since the crash is caused by windows memory managment program
i know its a drier
but i dont know which one'
so i might as well just reset

Also, "if you bought a game between May 2nd and May 15th, youโll get a $10 refund to your original payment method. Games over $14.99 that were pre-purchased before today will also net you a $10 refund."

ฮey guys! Is anyone here playing Escape From Tarkov? It's a pretty hardcore MMOFPS and it's core walking and crouching system has steps, so you can control exactly how fast or slow you walk and exactly how low you crouch. That would be amazing to do with an analog switch, as now it is done by the scroll wheel (e.g. Holding C to crouch and scrolling to control how much). The thing is this game is PC-only and it has zero controller support. Anyone else here playing this game?
It's still in beta, but I've been playing it a lot lately and I was thinking analog input there would be fantastic, that's all ๐

thats way too much text for me to read about reviews
remote yoke
TLDR: they will censor negative reviews that came in rapid fire, but not positive ones
anti-consumerism and corporate shilling
toxic hill
That's not an accurate TL;DR
remote yoke
prove me wrong
toxic hill
So it's not clear it's a review bomb. It certainly doesn't fit our original definition in the "aimed at lowering the Review Score" section, but back in 2017 the community's terminology around "review bombs" was also focused only on concerted negative efforts. It'd be nice to change that terminology to something that doesn't imply positive or negative, but that's really up to the community.
remote yoke
that doesn't prove me wrong
trim rock
nah best to just remove the whole review system /s
small comet
@remote yoke i see you didnt finish the school classes for reading
toxic hill
@remote yoke "It'd be nice to change that terminology to something that doesn't imply positive or negative, but that's really up to the community."
small comet
might want to go back and learn to read
remote yoke
that's up to the community
small comet
TL;DR: Review bombing rn is considered smth where people post tons of negative reviews in a short time frame without an actual increase in players which indicates displeasure of active players due to bad updates and positive review bombs dont fit the definition as of rn
remote yoke
censoring negative reviews but not positive ones = corporate shilling
remote yoke
in a way they are; they don't affect the overall score
small comet
they still exist
toxic hill
They want to change that definition, but they still didn't think that the AC event qualified as a review bomb because it was driven by higher traffic
willow quiver
you should add that they only started not counting negative reviews after negative reivew bombing happened very recently
remote yoke
that's a given
toxic hill
@remote yoke the AC event is the first time anything like a positive review bomb has occurred
small comet
i noticed Jester wants to pay for people who read every review and just mark all troll/illegitimate ones as off topic
willow quiver
3 months ago those review would've stayed where they are
and tbh I think review bombing isn't negative
small comet
ya they only mark the reviews of that time period as off topic so older reviews still count and newer ones aswell
jester would love people spamming negative reviews on a game he released
especially the bogus ones
remote yoke
None of you proved me wrong by the way
toxic hill
They even point out that marking the AC event as a review bomb would have effected its statistics minimally
small comet
yes you didnt read the article
remote yoke
if my game wasn't trash then I wouldn't get review bombed
toxic hill
@remote yoke ahahaha
remote yoke
there are predictable reasons behind review bombing
willow quiver
they only recently started doing anythjing againstr review bombing, and only because many people called them out for negative review bombing
toxic hill
@remote yoke and not all of them have to do with the game
willow quiver
even though it is a legitimate form to voice oyur opinio
fringe salmon
so you say Borderlands got review bombed because the games are trash?
willow quiver
trahsy games don't get review bombed
remote yoke
what Valve labels "off topic" isn't even necessarily off topic
like DRM complaints
which is one way to get review bombed (add Denuvo post-release)
willow quiver
or publishers/devs being pieces of shit
fringe salmon
wait didn't you just say the only way to get review bombed is if the game is shit, now you say Denuvo post launch could cause it?
willow quiver
if you count publisher being shit a review that is "denuvo = downvote" is reviewbombing
remote yoke
no, you're just putting words in my mouth because you're triggered
willow quiver
would be different if you said "my pc can't handle it due to denuvo"
I think you don't get what review bombing is

remote yoke
I read what Valve labels as review bombing and "off topic" reviews
small comet
review bombing = game must be trash
toxic hill
@remote yoke so the real issue here is that you think blocking negative review bombs is anti-consumer. You should be more upfront about what's annoying you because it doesn't sound like it's the (theoretical) positive review bombs
remote yoke
what annoys me is such selective censorship of user reviews
remote yoke
ones not designed to lower the score, according to Valve
willow quiver
sounds like all positive reviews
remote yoke
released in a very concentrated period of time (the 'review bombing' part)
small comet
so 200 negative reviews in 3 minutes = no review bombing = legit complaints
toxic hill
@willow quiver a positive review bomb is a massive spike in positive reviews as a concerted effort to raise a game's score on steam
small comet
see the part is they monitor if the playercount increased in the time or not to see if people actually played or just complain for no reason
toxic hill
No such event has occurred
willow quiver
tbh the reason they give isn't bad
ac unity holds nostalgic value to many people
because of what happened
remote yoke
200 negative reviews in 3 minutes = all get censored
200 positive reviews in 3 minutes = not censored
Based on their definition of "off-topic": talking about the game's DRM, platform, and other elements of a game's content is labeled as off topic even though it isn't, though the "positive review bombs" can all literally be off topic but not get censored
small comet
no u literally didnt read the article
the player count also increased
which lead them to believe it was actual reviews
review bombs usually dont cause player spikes
just review spikes
toxic hill
@remote yoke false. 200 pos revs in 3 minutes = a steam investigation
small comet
love how jester literally didnt read the article
remote yoke
investigation isn't censorship
willow quiver
?
small comet
how about you go to epic
and buy 10games
in a few minutes
that solves all ur problems
willow quiver
jsut go to the egs, no reviews there, much better
also no shopping carts
and you can only buy 5 games
choose wisely
toxic hill
@remote yoke yes it is. Just because your work makes it through doesn't mean it hasn't undergone the process
toxic hill
Wait but they give you the 6th game for free?
willow quiver
no
toxic hill
willow quiver
the 5th gives your account a flag for "suspicious activity"
small comet
and then u cant buy anything anymore
and since they dont have a shopping cart u need to buy em seperate
willow quiver
since you can't use a shopping cart you ahve to buy every game one at a time
willow quiver
becasue shopping carts in digital stores aren't a very basic feature
small comet
and reviews are also unnecessary
fringe salmon
think he was talking about you saying "buy" 5 and get banned in 6 
willow quiver
nah, you only get 5
your account isn't banned
just blocked from getting anything else
being banned in any gmae in the egs will make you loose your library
luckily there never was a faulty anticheat
small comet
just wait for their "non shitty game" policy to fuck them
cause it only takes one trash game to fuck everyone
willow quiver
they already have dangerous dr1v1ng
willow quiver
now it just needs online multiplayer
small comet
and automatic banning of everyone
willow quiver
or a stupid ui change like in cs go

Go back to trying to prove me wrong
