With more "hackey hackey scripty kiddy" theme

orchid prism
#

The final mission really effed that up.

bleak pike
#

Like on number 1 whenever someone called the police

orchid prism
#

You literally went on a killing spree 😄

bleak pike
#

it was sheer rush and panic

#

and i loved it

feral ferry
#

I forgot the WD2's last mission, was that the satellite launch?

barren pewter
#

the ending mission for the first watchdogs was amazing

#

that was the best

orchid prism
#

I hated that one xD

bleak pike
#

both have their issues

barren pewter
#

being locked out of ctOS was cool

orchid prism
#

But I hated the antagonist more than anything in the mission it self.

bleak pike
#

WD1 was very limited and a lot of lying

feral ferry
#

WD Legion also is going to suck sadly

bleak pike
#

But had a decent story

#

WD2 is just

#

EH

feral ferry
#

I heard a ton of first impressions by people

#

And Legion appears to just be the same shit as WD2

fading spade
#

There are irish charcters in it!!

feral ferry
#

If it gets released for free somewhere then I might try it out otherwise I don't see the point it buying it

orchid prism
#

The biggest issue as I see it. Legion is just more of the silly themes.

bleak pike
#

told you lana

orchid prism
#

Doubling down on the one thing I hated the most is... not the way to encourage me to play it 😄

fading spade
#

huh?

feral ferry
#

Your typical "evil" antagonist that must be stoped?

bleak pike
#

irish people are basically UK

fading spade
#

nah m8

bleak pike
#

They just like thinking they are not

fading spade
#

thats northern irish people

bleak pike
#

nono

fading spade
#

yesyes

bleak pike
#

thats people who accept it

feral ferry
#

WD2 at least was very close to reality

orchid prism
#

WD tried to realistically show a Big Brother AI system. WD2 kind of shat on that by making every joke they could possibly tack in...and legion seems to double down on that.

fading spade
#

W_D2

feral ferry
#

The main bad guy was literally Zuckerberg

fading spade
#

cant forgot the _ :')

orchid prism
#

The three? times WD2 tried to be serious it felt so out of place. You were a bunch of dumb script kiddies with tags 😄

#

I played one of the dlcs

barren pewter
#

novel umbra
#

#

didn't touch the third and fourth

#

game is just too boring

barren pewter
#

yeah

#

Game feels lifeless

I see mostly jpeg artefacts and some colour in that image

cod is a lot bigger

sound files alone are superior by a lot

fringe salmon
#

you need to work on your screenshot skills if either of these low res shots take more than a megabyte lul

#

Since when is Witcher 3 400GB?

#

Oh it’s 40

fading spade
wheat kraken
#

@fading spade how do you compensate for the warping effect that UW has?

fading spade
#

hah?

wheat kraken
#

like when you turn your camera and things suddenly zoom to be closer to you but looking at them directly makes them super far away

fading spade
#

oh, fov

#

I just have it on 91 in game

wheat kraken
#

yeah but I was damn near at 100 FOV

#

like 95

#

but mind you I was using a 4k screen with a forced res of 3840x1080

fading spade
#

O.o

wheat kraken
#

so it was probably squished since it's a 28" monitor compared to like... 29" or 34"

fading spade
#

not sure how the game handles it

fringe salmon
#

never felt like FoV was an issue on UW when I played minecraft

fading spade
#

minecraft is VERY good at FOV

#

<3

fringe salmon
#

.. I guess so? idk what that is supposed to mean

#

FoV slider isn't really anything special

#

You're implying that companies aren't greedy and don't actually hate us?

shell willow
#

The entire video is a joke

#

All his videos are jokes

#

It was painfully obvious the video was a joke even, I'm not sure how you didn't figure that out when he said the SNES sold more because it didn't have backwards compatibility

fading spade
#

oh yeh, its gone there now

fringe salmon
#

close but no not gone

fading spade
#

ahh

#

New Zealand have candy called "perky nannas"

#

odd name

orchid prism
feral ferry
#

What's more interesting is how more open Valve is

#

Their ideology has completely shifted

young crow
#

they got a new pr tard, no?

feral ferry
#

No

#

Whole company fulfills the PR role

barren pewter
#

yeah

feral ferry
#

I suppose the fact they did ship Alyx and the game was received so insanely well, showed Valve brain interfaces isn't the only thing that matters

#

Although Gabe really loves his brain talks

#

CS:GO hasn't had a good update in forever, up until the newest operation hit

#

DOTA I have no clue about

#

TF2's as dead as always

#

But Alyx did make the teams go active again

#

I mean Index is still sold out to this day

#

That must show Valve that games are still important, and they can't just focus on Steam alone for revenue

#

Index was a commercial phenomenon, Alyx is game of the decade (probably?)

#

When was the last time they hit these sorts of numbers? Prolly around HL2 release over a decade ago

#

Furthermore

feral ferry
#

Starfield news

barren pewter
#

in development

feral ferry
#

They are ditching Havok

#

Which is actually a good move I'd say

barren pewter
#

still on creation, right?

feral ferry
#

I feel like Havok in general as a game engine isn't great, and this move would allow the facial anims to be insane

#

Creation Engine isn't bad

barren pewter
#

I know

feral ferry
#

Please stop hating on it lul

barren pewter
#

I don't hate on it

#

it has problems

feral ferry
#

It improves

barren pewter
#

like everything else

feral ferry
#

With each generation the engine gets better

orchid prism
#

Uhh... Havok? Game engine? It's a physics engine FOR game engines

feral ferry
#

Same shit is with Unreal, it's a game engine that has roots going 20 years back

#

But it gets better and better

fringe salmon
#

no mansen there is much more than just havok physics

feral ferry
#

Although I'm fairly sure Unreal has been redesigned

barren pewter
#

but it takes bethesda going over their game and covering it with the coding equivalent of band-aids

feral ferry
#

From ground up

fringe salmon
#

behavior is part of the discontinued Havok animation studio SDK

orchid prism
#

Yes it's more than a physics engine these days, but it isn't isn't a game engine 😄

feral ferry
#

I would vouch for Starfield being a game on par with any of their old games

#

I believe FO76 was a publisher's decision

fringe salmon
#

Havok has a full game engine(well, had, also discontinued)

barren pewter
#

so ok at best to turbo-chickenshit at worst

feral ferry
#

Havok's also quite bad

barren pewter
#

good to hear Vexx

feral ferry
#

World of Tanks went Encore game engine + Havoc physics

#

And it fucked everything

orchid prism
#

Oh so we're counting Vision as a game engine? Even though it had a lifespan of a year and that was about half a decade ago 😄

fringe salmon
#

3 years of lifetime after it got bought ¯_(ツ)_/¯

orchid prism
#

My google says 13-14

fringe salmon
#

havok got it 11, final version out in 14

barren pewter
#

I believe 76 was a publisher's decision
76 was not a Fallout game, it was a quick cash grab and a great way to kill the IP, so, yes it probably was

fringe salmon
#

never worked with any of them aside from physics, from what I know they are all bad while physics is amzing

#

but was animation a big issue in bethesda games? never played one but it didnt seem like that was a big issue

feral ferry
#

HoMM3 fans will know

#

Also

#

Dunno what the fuck this is but I know this game has followers

bleak pike
barren pewter
#

what game is this?

bleak pike
#

cod cold wqar

barren pewter
#

is it good?

bleak pike
#

ts cod

#

its

barren pewter
#

does it have a campaign?

fringe salmon
#

its early access I think'?

barren pewter
#

so only multiplayer

#

ok

#

cod games have sucked for a while now

#

like stagnant well water

#

it's better to move on

fringe salmon
#

im excited to watch some streamers do the easter egg hunt in zombies

#

and pray its not as buggy as the last few releases of zombies were

#

thats all I care about in cod

trim rock
#

You played last years COD? It's like that, but cold war

#

Decent enough rank up riff, that Dirty Bomb mode is kinda neat (and reminds me a of another game HMM)

feral ferry
#

On unrelated note

#

1 month until Cyberpunk

orchid prism
feral ferry
#

Ngl it's either going to be one of the best or the most disappointing games

#

It can't be neither

#

Either it captivates, or it destroys your expectations

barren pewter
#

right

#

cyberpunk

#

so excited

pearl zodiac
#

I mean

#

I think cdpr knows their reputation for the next few years is riding on this game

#

so it'd better be good

#

cause people aren't going to think of them as the people who made witcher if they fuck this up. they are just gonna be the studio that fucked up cyberpunk.

ornate cedar
#

They acknoledge this on their Q1 financial report and they expect the marketing of Cyberpunk 2077 is going to reach others who are unfamilair with their witcher brand.

ornate cedar
#

Currently it is their main source of income, with GOG.com just keeping its head above water. It will damage their goodwill value (which is 56 438k PLN (=12.331 million euro) as of 31.03.2020, or ~8 % of their fixed assets). Plus the fact they want to have more parralel development with Witcher and Cyberpunk being the major ones. And introductions matter a lot to the longgevity of the franchise.

bleak pike
#

Oh wow.... just discovered someone is making a fan game of Avatar....

#

They got a bunch of the original actors on it

ornate cedar
#

They got a licence for it?

bleak pike
#

No, he’s making it in the game called dreams on PS4

#

Wouldn’t surprise me if it gets shut down

ornate cedar
#

That is promising, makes it legally gray area

#

Especially viacom is nasty with that

bleak pike
#

XD the voice actor for Azula literally just asked in dm “Can I be Azula?”

ornate cedar
#

No, Only Azula can be Azula.

barren pewter
#

man that just sucked

#

I got a steam update in the middle of a game

#

it closed my game and started the update

keen urchin
#

NO WONDER THE CAMERA FEELS LIKE SHIT IN THIS GAME
They added smoothing and delay to camera movement -_-

#

Couldn't pinpoint it really in (borderless) window mode
But as soon as I turned on EFS and disable FS optimisations, it became immediately apparent 🤮

On more important news

#

CPY is officially back

#

And they are cracking everything left right and center

orchid prism
#

They probably found another flaw which happens to be in all games released with the same engine version 😄

feral ferry
#

Conspiracy is the best group that exists right now

#

But they are ridiculously inconsistent

#

Cracks everything for months, then leaves for years

#

Comes back, changes the game, and leaves again

fringe salmon
#

or its just not even the same people

feral ferry
#

Dunno how CPY operates, but they follow a weird schedule

orchid prism
#

Keep in mind it was never about piracy for these crackers. It's about beating a meaningful protection scheme 😄

orchid prism
#

And if Denuvo just patches something and doesn't significantly change... why bother re-cracking it.

willow quiver

feral ferry
#

What's the chaos theory?

willow quiver
feral ferry
#

Dunno what this is

fringe salmon
#

64k demo

aka 64 kilobyte of data to make all of that

feral ferry
#

All I am seeing is a weird sequence of shaky images

#

But 64kbs for all that? That's like MS-DOS size

fringe salmon
#

yes thats the point

#

no engine used to render, no pictures, all done in assembly

feral ferry

Has anyone recently played Eco?

fallow bronze
#

i wanted to, saw some vids, but i think you need to play it with a group

keen urchin
#

Been a few years since I last played

#

Early 2018 I think

#

I know a lot changed

tough jay
#

Never played it

keen urchin
#

But I'm not up to date

#

Heard that they changed a couple things and playing with fewer people isn't the best experience any more

#

But I have no idea how many people you need to have a good experience

#

I guess Skillpoints you can still adjust with server settings

fallow bronze
#

i'm right on the recommended specs

keen urchin
#

Oh yeah

#

I remember performance being abysmal

#

It did not run stutter free on my 5820K+290X

fallow bronze
#

recommended specs are amd 3700x and an amd 5700xt

keen urchin
#

I got the minimum as well, then :p

#

3700X + VII

#

Well, slightly above

#

Although I'll upgrade soon

Just don't expect cards to be available until the holliday season is over.
You may get one but I don't expect it to be in great supply.

Although it'll be hard to say no

I do expect the supply of cpu's to not be great either

I expect massive supply

And even more demand

Which nets to supply not being great

Invite a friend and boom, they can join your world

#

well microsoft is a bit less shitty than facebook so y not

i mean, that actually works, with the realms thingy

slim token
#

thats paid tho

frosty dew

fading spade

That's paid tho

#

Is free in bedrock

#

And not a separate server
It's your world

frosty dew
#

lol

#

the announcement though

#

i like it

#

also... it recommends me to watch the hermitcraft episode i watched half an hour ago

slim token
#

they hired the right people for the animations

frosty dew
#

not just the animation is good

#

just the entire story building basically

#

like they do take a little poke of fun at themselves

fading spade
#

I love how self aware they are

#

The top comment

frosty dew
#

though i AM concerned, because i have two accounts for java...

#

do i like, have to create new microsoft accounts for them?

fading spade
#

Idk how it works

#

I think it transfers your email and password over to microsoft account

#

They said "in the upcoming months" they'll make a tutorial video

idle marten
#

i still have my old account from like 2010. Still with username and password. Mojang didn't get to change that neither will microsoft 😄

fading spade
#

Oo

frosty dew
#

i changed that after my account got hijacked by some russian person

slim token
#

something tells me this wont go smooth

fringe salmon
#

it's weird, with oculus people hate it, here most people are ok with it

#

granted I agree a facebook account is much worse than a microsoft account lol

slim token
#

going to make a microsoft email exclusive for minecraft

frosty dew
#

i think the difference is, one is a piece of hardware meant to play stuff whenver with.
where as minecraft, technically is already owned by microsoft, and is just a transfer of account without much change. i mean, pretty sure you'll be using the same email adresses and everything to play the game

fringe salmon
#

oculus is also owned by facebook

#

both cases is a company being bought by a bigger one

slim token
#

the real difference is facebook forcing players to make a new facebook account to keep playing

#

unless i missed something that said otherwise

fringe salmon
#

you can use an oculus account till 2023

slim token
#

because i dont remember reading anything about merging

fringe salmon
#

then you need to transfer

#

you dont lose account stuff either

#

and with minecraft its also a forced changed

young hill
#

People can also be banned from using the headset for facebook related reasons which is messed up.

fringe salmon
#

probably even earlier

slim token
#

im sure someone will jailbreak the headset

young hill
#

It runs android so why not

slim token
#

i only use it for beatsaber

#

that will be its only use to me

#

and maybe experimenting if i get good

fringe salmon
#

wonder why stadia is failing?

wicked latch
#

Yes, because Streamers totally arent free advertisement for the companies and devs lul

fringe salmon
#

"hey usually you pay millions for marketing, but you should really ask them to pay you"

fossil solar
#

Technically it’s not fair use but it’s free marketing and would be pr suicide if they went after a big streamer

fringe salmon
#

yeah technically they can take them down bc I doubt a court would see it as transformative content to have it count under fair use if forced

#

but gl getting anyone to but anything from you after that

orchid prism
#

I mean... he kind of has a point.

#

It wouldn't work but he does.

novel umbra
#

I thought only politicians on companies payrolls would spout such crap

orchid prism
#

HOWEVER such a license should include music licenses et al

fringe salmon
#

no? he is not wrong legally, but "real truth is the streamers should be paying" isn't correct

novel umbra
#

looking at you axel voss

orchid prism
#

His idea would also pretty much kill free advertisement for games.

#

Among Us would have remained a dead and rather failed game.

fringe salmon
#

exactly

orchid prism
#

Honestly though I think a lot of established streamers would LOVE to be able to pay a licensing fee and avoid getting struck from using music and such.

novel umbra
#

so you are telling me people don't get how the internet works?

fringe salmon
#

but it's almost never music that comes from a streamed game that causes the recent dmca issues

#

yeah if companies chose who can stream the games... there would be no streams

novel umbra
#

yea unless a company let's it go how it is now it would just be risky af to get a contract for streaming

fringe salmon
#

every streamer would just be like a review, bland and usually not very interresting to people

#

nobody would sign an xqc under these conditions, once someone does people would realise that makes much more sense and just allow everyone to stream bc it's better and we are back to now

shell willow
#

When you buy a game you are explicitly buying the license

#

Guess someone as important as him didn't bother to read the fine print

keen urchin
#

Honestly though I think a lot of established streamers would LOVE to be able to pay a licensing fee and avoid getting struck from using music and such.
@orchid prism

That does not work, unfortunately. Even if you do only play music you licenced, you will get struck, and have to resort to lawyers to get your content back.

orchid prism
#

Mnope.

#

Maybe on rare occasions but the automatic systems actually work when you have licenses.

fallow bronze
#

imagine the international licencing needed

keen urchin
#

See Gronkh for example. He's only playing licenced music in his streams, but Twitch still struck everything on his channel.
He's having the same issues on Youtube as well. Even when he owns a licence, his videos get claimed.

orchid prism
#

looks up person - is German

Yeah then he's not doing the whole licensing thing right, because GEMA has that shit locked up tight 😛

#

I know plenty of channels who have never had issues. And it's almost as if I'm proposing something NEW that isn't a thing. So it's a bit harsh to criticise it like you do 😄

keen urchin
#

Lol, no
It's not GEMA that is striking his content

orchid prism
#

Lol yes.

#

And I never said GEMA did that. They are the opposite 😛

#

License holders check with gema's systems to see if licensing is there or if it's a breach.

fringe salmon
#

well zombies is the only thing I sometimes think about getting cod, guess not

How did you get banned from doom lol

#

why don't they just make an standalone branch of the franchise? cod zombies

#

profit

bleak pike
#

Don't think it would sell much and to release a zombies games separate alongside a normal release would be a lot of backlash

#

I think selling parts of the game makes more sense but that's not good enough for Activision

#

Because they'll want full price for each part lol

that is 1903

fading spade

latest stable is 2004

fringe salmon
#

he didnt say he's on stable he said he's on LTSC...

fading spade
#

ltsc ?

#

what

fringe salmon
#

it's the same as like ubuntu LTS

fading spade

hmmmmmmmm

I see

Claptrap
Why ....

ripe tendon
#

That was my ex's nickname

#

Claptrap

fossil solar
#

Were they a trap who clapped a lot?

#

And also never stopped talking?

ripe tendon
#

Just a trap for the clap

feral ferry
#

Need your opinions lads

#

For a person who is deprived of good RPG games

#

World of Warcraft

#

Good or not?

#

Never played it before

#

Also how expensive it is? I know there's this stupid ass subscription service

#

Possible to maintain the "access" for completely free of charge?

shell willow
#

In short. No. In long, noooooooooooooooooooo

#

WoW went to fucking shit ever since BFA when Blizzard decided to add the worst parts of gacha games to their fucking MMO

frosty dew
#

play on private servers, experience near an hour of wait time to join. forget about it, lose your position due to inacitivty. asteynYay

shell willow
#

I implore you to play literally any other MMO

#

Though at this stage the only one left will be FF14 and even that is going to be ending its lifecycle soon

feral ferry
#

Final Fantasy 14 thonk

#

I've never played a FF game to begin with

shell willow
#

It's basically WoW Good Edition at this point

#

Well WoW isn't

#

And there's plenty of F2P MMOs that are good

feral ferry
#

The last time I heard of a good subscription service was... thonk Yeah can't remember

shell willow
#

TERA, Aura Kingdom, DFO, etc.

feral ferry
#

Yeah already been there

#

In all of those

shell willow
#

PSO2 if you can play the console version

feral ferry
#

Need something better

shell willow
#

Well FF14 is free to Level 60

#

You get base game (which is shit) and Heavensward (which is amazing)

#

Also I originally bought a Wooting for FF14 in the first place

#

But it became a liability since I kind of need my WASD keys to spell words too

#

Least I can still play games like Witcher on this

feral ferry
#

How'd you compare it to games like Albion Online, Tera, Eve?

shell willow
#

Never played Albion Online. A much tighter designed and balanced game than TERA and an infinitely better story. EVE Online is just Microsoft Excel.

feral ferry
#

Oof

shell willow
#

Fake news

#

Download the demo

#

Free to Level 60

#

Square are retarded and separated the Steam and launcher versions

#

I'd recommend the launcher version instead because Square are retarded and made the Steam version a pain in the ass

#

But if you can get the Steam version up and running at least you won't have to worry about it again

feral ferry
#

Rn my GF is hooked on Eden Eternal

#

I'm looking for games for her

#

PSO2 she called "alright"

#

PC version

shell willow
#

Because PSO2 is just an action game that pretends to be a MMO

feral ferry
#

So for a Eden Eternal - TERA addict, what would be a direct upgrade?

#

I need to keep her occupied lul

shell willow
#

Well FF14 is that direct upgrade to Eden Eternal

#

As for TERA, dunno. Game is very much an action game.

#

PS try not to interact with the FF14 community

#

At least if you're in NA

#

Pedos and furries as far as the eye can see and the GMs are usually both

#

Luckily the way the game is set up you basically do next to no interaction for most content

#

Well I got banned from WoW

feral ferry
#

I'll check out FFXIV

#

Thanks YouTube

shell willow
#

And gotta say the FF14 GMs are every bit as bad as Blizzard GMs if not worse

#

I got suspended for rolling loot in a dungeon

#

Yes I got suspended for playing the game

feral ferry
#

Wait

#

FFXIV expanded access is only for PS4?

shell willow
#

It's for everywhere

feral ferry
ornate cedar
#

the fallout experience now on other games

feral ferry
#

I don't see the free one 😄

shell willow
feral ferry
#

Or do I literally have to pay the entrance free?

shell willow
#

This link not working?

#

It's a demo

#

And no you don't

feral ferry
#

Ah

shell willow
#

Don't pay whatever the fuck you do

#

Do not spend a single cent until you exhaust the demo

#

Because your sub will start when you spend money

ornate cedar
#

But microtransactions are the best way to spend money

shell willow
#

And kick you out of your demo benefits

feral ferry
#

Roger

ornate cedar
#

how can one pass on this one in a lifetime experience

feral ferry
#

Mouse and keyboard or controller?

shell willow
#

M/KB

feral ferry
#

I have a PS4 so also the respective controller

shell willow
#

If you played modern WoW you have a basic grasp of how the combat works

feral ferry
#

Nope

shell willow
#

Well it's not that hard

#

The game does a semi awful job of teaching you but I'm sure you can figure it out

#

No it's a hybrid system

ornate cedar
#

PRess the button and press it good

shell willow
#

Red marker AOEs and such

#

Positioning matters

feral ferry
#

It's not for me but my fiancée

shell willow
#

Like in modern WoW

feral ferry
#

She likes anime shit

#

And catgirls

shell willow
#

Well this game has both

feral ferry
#

Excellent

#

Much appreciated

#

Girls sometimes are bare weird man

shell willow
#

It's Woot compatible

#

But I don't think the trade-off is worth it

#

You sacrifice the ability to talk coherently

ornate cedar
#

Is that a feature?

shell willow
#

Nah, they just didn't program the game to restrict you to one input

#

You can use simulatenous controller and keyboard

#

Therefore Woot compatible

#

Because you can't use a key for typing if you use the analog

ornate cedar
#

That is just illegal now. gotta rip it out and sell it back for a microtransaction.

feral ferry
#

Wtf

shell willow
#

I dunno, but it applies even in Microsoft Word

feral ferry
#

thonk ?

shell willow
#

They force you to make a SE account yeah

feral ferry
#

I can't even confirm it

#

SE account is fine but wtf

shell willow
#

If I use an analog profile and set a key to an analog input then I lose the ability to type a letter using that key

#

That's on, it's not working

#

And I'm not trying this in a game I'm trying this in Microsoft Word

ornate cedar
#

Have you tried to turn it on and off again

shell willow
#

That wouldn't make sense but it would be worth investigating

feral ferry
#

I love this feature called "email confirmation" that is not working for me rn

ornate cedar
#

like temporary email addresses are not a thing

feral ferry
#

I'm here for the long run lul

ornate cedar
#

Speedrun time

shell willow
#

I legit just thought it was a limitation

#

Not "EWW I BOUGHT THIS AND IT DOESN'T WORK REFUND"

feral ferry
#

Can someone tell me why I can't use the code SE sent me to activate my account? 🙂

shell willow
#

Their system is retarded

#

They once charged me 10 times for one item

fringe salmon
#

If you copy pasted it, try putting it in manually

feral ferry
#

There's no such option in the Square Enix website either

#

@fringe salmon Did so

shell willow
#

My bank reversed all those charges and gave me the item free

#

Eat shit SE

fringe salmon
#

Rip

feral ferry
#

Manual or copied, didn't help

ornate cedar
#

Because manegement has two braincells and is fixated on money so things happen

shell willow
#

There is an option on the SE site but good luck finding it

feral ferry
#

Yeah I can't find it

shell willow
#

Should be in the SIGN UP NOW button

feral ferry
#

Wtf

#

Why are there so many fucking domains?

#

This is confusing

ornate cedar
#

Pay money to increase the sunk cost fallacy and make more money. ingenious

shell willow
#

SE can't manage a website for shit

#

Go on TrustPilot

#

They have a lower rating than EA

#

And both have lower ratings than our favorite punching bag Razer

feral ferry
#

At least Razer makes good products™️

ornate cedar
#

Atleast razer has a working store to spend money on

shell willow
#

Well the last time I tried their store they sent my item to a random address in Southeast Asia and refused to refund me

#

Their CS kept insisting I live in Southeast Asia

#

Eventually I just called my bank to get a refund

ornate cedar
#

respond with the: 1v1 me then bruv,

shell willow
#

Lesson learned, use Amazon instead

feral ferry
#

@shell willow Anything interesting going on with FFXVI?

#

Is it confirmed as an XIV successor?

shell willow
#

The director of FF14 is the producer of FF16

#

Other than similar art style, same composer, and the dev team being the same, no

#

It's a hack and slash now even

#

Being directed by someone who worked on DMC

#

It's also only a timed exclusive for PS5

#

And will come to PC a year later

feral ferry
#

Series X? thonk

#

I ain't buying a PS5

shell willow
#

Most likely considering Microsoft's big push into Japan

feral ferry
#

Then again I'm not sold on Series X yet

#

The thread lies within Series X ability to play PC Steam games

#

If it doesn't exist and I was lied to, I'm not getting a console

#

Still I am saving up on HP Reverb G2 rn, so who knows

#

Like a paid expansion?

#

Elder Scrolls Online style?

ornate cedar
#

More ways to spend your kidney

feral ferry
#

Does this shit ever come to the base game for free?

#

I know in ESO after a few years the paid DLC get integrated to base game

shell willow
#

It's a story expansion

#

Only Heavensward is integrated into the base game

#

As are any and all mechanical changes

feral ferry
#

Worth buying thm later on?

shell willow
#

Wait until summer 2021

#

The next expansion will be out

#

If you buy the newest expansion you get all previous expansions free

#

And the pre-order will be up sometime April or May

feral ferry
#

Aight

shell willow
#

The subscription is the DLC anyway

#

DKS would be redundant in FF14 anyway because any skills where DKS would be a good idea, you have to aim them. At that point just use Mouse1

feral ferry
#

How does Wooting do well in FF14?

shell willow
#

Simultaneous keyboard and controller input supported

feral ferry
#

So slow walking?

shell willow
#

Yeah

#

And if you can work around the limitations

#

You can also use DKS

feral ferry
#

That's a deal clincher?

#

Slow movement? 😄

shell willow
#

Nah you barely use it

#

And also in my opinion it's actually a hinderance

#

Because using a controller means you can't just instantly turn around and run the other way

#

You backpedal instead

#

Which will get you killed

feral ferry
#

Dunno I am getting some MHW vibes, and afaik most people play MHW with controller

shell willow
#

With a keyboard you can bind the S key to make you run backwards instead

#

For some dumb reason you cannot do that with a controller

#

And people play MHW with a controller for the full 360 degree range movement more than "wooooooo slow walking"

feral ferry
#

Can you even compare MHW to FF14?

shell willow
#

Well Iceborne thinks it's a MMO

#

Alatreon as a fight is straight out of FF14

#

He would be great in FF14

#

He is complete ass in Iceborne

feral ferry
#

Interesting

#

My GF did try out MHW numerous times

#

Never really stuck to her

shell willow
#

It's more MH was always about avoiding damage through behavioral recognition and skillful play

#

And then Alatreon forces you to pass DPS checks and take unavoidable damage in a game where everything threeshots you

#

Ryozo is a retard

#

When he was asked about the bad reception Alatreon got his answer was literally "haha West bad"

#

The actual MHW team are working on Rise

#

The post launch content like Iceborne was done by the B team

small comet
#

ngl i never got into MH myself

#

except for tri on the wii

#

and while i did get into ffxiv a tiny bit

#

i never finished shadowbringers i think

#

psure i didnt even start it really

#

mainly cause its rather lame playing it alone

proper cargo
#

anyone noticed yet the outer worlds is out on steam now?

orchid prism
#

Played it on release. So... not much reason to notice 😄

proper cargo
#

me too

#

a single playthrough was enough tho. it didnt had that incentive like fallout 4 to go through it multiple times

orchid prism
#

Too short and too linear.

#

And... not REALLY much payoff to play it differently 😄

proper cargo
#

true. you can kill everyone and be a dick about anything, but all you will do is feel bad cause your team mates will just...die with you lol. atleast in mass effect you can go full renegade, be the biggest jerkoff there is, but still end up with an accomplished feeling

orchid prism
#

No meaningful reward for being stealthy or pacifistic either.

#

Aside from a ton of quickloading :;D

proper cargo
#

yea

#

this mission has stealth elements
oh, so i need to use a silencer on my heavy machine gun. okey.

orchid prism

oh baby Wooting with ucr for breath of the wild kb/m controls on Cemu parrot

frosty dew
#

so, someone here said they still use their minecraft legacy log in data.
hope you dont plan on the newest releases then if you dont want to merge your account to the microsoft one.
cause it is mandatory. lol

idle marten
#

@frosty dew well that sucks. but thats not too bad, because if i play minecraft its mainly mod packs. And there you don't necessarily need to login.

#

Before I'll migrate my legacy account, i'll just buy a new account

frosty dew
#

afaik there shouldnt be any difference with mods

#

and i think the mutimc and mojang already work on a hook to keep enabling 3rd party modpack launchers too

#

but dont hold me accountable on that

feral ferry
#

I just found a joke that keeps on giving

#

And it has its own self-made DRM

#

And also a really interesting EULA

#

The EULA is so jokes I swear

#

2.This game can be distributed with ads, such as on YouTube, but please do not criticize this game too much!

#

5.The developer is not responsible for this game in any way.

fringe salmon
#

sounds like good old google translate

frosty dew
#

"developer is not responsible for the game"

feral ferry
#

If they tell you so, they are not responsible

#
  1. You must do everything possible to help us collect feedback when reviewing this game.
#

Why are they trying to control people? 😅

#

7.copying, modification or reverse engineering is not allowed.

#

Jesus christ if you use Unity to make your own horror game, you will get legally attacked by them

fringe salmon
#

.. no??

frosty dew
#

huh?

feral ferry
#

"reverse engineering"

#

I mean if you make your own generic horror game, it can be counted as "reverse engineering"

fringe salmon
#

it even says it's a single dev, 19yo guy from japan, that eula is just google translate result so the meaning is just lost in translation

feral ferry
#

I mean

#

That is pretty damn self explanatory and quite jokes lul

fringe salmon
#

yes it's a perfect example of showing it clearly meant something else originally

feral ferry
#

That's better

#

But still how do you go from "I welcome your feedback regardless how good or bad it is" to "I am not responsible for this in any way"

fringe salmon
#

you clearly have not seen the worst of google translate

frosty dew
fringe salmon
#

there are quite a lot of game mods where dialogue/item descriptions are put into google translate to translate back and forth and the outcome is just horrible

#

but good streaming content

frosty dew
#

ye

#

can be really funny

feral ferry
#

Japanese to English google translate is quite poggers

#

Actually japanese people troll englishmen who aspire to learn some japanese by telling them weird ass phrases that translated via google make sense

fringe salmon
feral ferry
#

Is there more of this? lul

fringe salmon
#

search for "dark souls poorly translated mod"

RE: Minecraft legally account

I just give up and did it plus you got free Minecraft for Windows 10

small comet
#

@frosty dew mojang wont ever support modding

#

but they did provide obfuscation maps recently to more easily reverse Java binary compilation

fading spade
#

They did offer a somewhat of a barebones API, all method names are open for devs

small comet
#

ya but they dont officially support modding

#

which is somewhat understandable

fading spade
#

Yeah, I guess

#

one of their devs plays an SMP series though :P I love that

small comet
#

@bleak pike when was minecraft legally account mentioned?

bleak pike
#

Huh

barren pewter
#

and how did you get minecraft windows 10 doing that?

small comet
#

well

#

they did give it away when it was new

fallow bronze
#

still do i ithnk

small comet
#

anyone who had a mojang account with mc got win10 mc for free

#

no

barren pewter
#

cuz I learned of the java to windows 10 the day after it ended

small comet
#

all codes that were unused also got revoked

fading spade
#

anyone who had a mojang account with mc got win10 mc for free
@small comet I got windows 10 minecraft for free that way

small comet
#

i couldve but

#

im still not into win10 mc

#

cause of the redstone changes

#

and no modding

barren pewter
#

I learned about it after that ended

#

so I'm kinda fucked

fading spade
#

yeah, I do love how easy it is for me to play it with my sister, cause she only has the game on PS4

small comet
#

well they wanted to add bedrock-java cross compatibility

barren pewter
#

that would be a pain

#

and I doubt they'll add DirectX Ray tracing and DLSS into java

fading spade
#

too laggy

fallow bronze
#

dont need that for cross play

barren pewter
#

I need Ray Tracing to play

#

it's 2020

#

Ray Tracing is becoming a standard thing for new games

fallow bronze
#

x

barren pewter
#

budget gpus can support ray tracing

fading spade
#

thinkfractor software ray tracing ye

fallow bronze
#

but dont

#

atm

barren pewter
#

a $300 gpu supports rtx and dlss @fallow bronze

#

the RTX 2060

fringe salmon
#

300 isn't really a budget gpu

barren pewter
#

it's bang for buck territory

#

to me, it's teetering on the edge of budget

fringe salmon
#

a 1660 for like 200 is more in budget range

fading spade
#

I have 1660

small comet
#

@fading spade rt isnt super laggy tbh

#

its just

#

that mc code is a mess

fading spade
#

yeah...

small comet
#

and implementing smth this deep in the engine would make it even messier

#

i mean sonic also complained about the code mess in java edition

fading spade
#

SEUS shaders?

#

ooh

small comet
#

ya

#

they do rtx in the previews

fading spade
#

oo

#

wait, only for RTX cards?

fringe salmon
#

yes, if you want anything close playable

#

but you can powerpoint it 10/16 series cards

fading spade
#

powerpoint it :')

small comet
#

my 2080ti barely did 30 when standing still

#

but hes working on it

fading spade
#

OMFH

small comet
#

so who knows

fringe salmon
#

and it's not even real time in MC

#

it's over multiple frames still

fading spade
#

whe I use SEUS shaders, there is what seems to me to be a solid white layer over the entire screen but its like 98% see through

#

but its definetly there

feral ferry
#

I fully expect a total Java edition rewrite with the new Microsoft account merge

#

I just hope they won't blast mods

barren pewter
#

as long as I get DLSS and RTX with that rewrite, it's a win

feral ferry
#

Fuck your RTX

#

Marketing gig nothing else

barren pewter
#

and yes

#

mods are the shit

feral ferry
#

DLSS is a good tech though

#

I wholeheartedly support upsampling

#

RTX can go die I wouldn't care

barren pewter
#

DLSS is the unsung hero of the turing generation

#

but RTX is kinda cool

feral ferry
#

Way to kill your perf for no meaningful improvement

barren pewter
#

that's what DLSS is for

feral ferry
#

Same shit can be done software-level and be far more effective

#

Look at Minecraft

barren pewter
#

sharper image, better performance

feral ferry
#

Just slap a shader on it and it looks as good as Minecraft RTX

#

But doesn't run like ass

barren pewter
#

not true

feral ferry
#

RTX might usable, but in far distant future

barren pewter
#

minecraft with DLSS and RTX is something different

feral ferry
#

Computational power isn't quite there yet

barren pewter
#

a 2060 can do over 60 fps in busy maps

#

at 1080p

#

it's there now

feral ferry
#

I don't think you ever used custom shaders on Minecraft

#

They look pog

barren pewter
#

I have

#

with a fire extinguisher on standby

feral ferry
#

Same shit with Skyrim, just slap some ENB shader pack

#

Looks like a game from 2020

#

There is virtually no need for GPU hardware to get even more taxed when we are still worrying about FPS

ornate cedar
#

more power == more win

feral ferry
#

When FPS is no longer a metric that means a lot because it's so high, then we'll talk

#

For now I need more FPS

#

And I don't want to shell out 1200$ for the top of the line card that will still have hiccups

#

For now let's just make sure FPS stops mattering in general

#

It'll take us quite a bit, but we'll get there

barren pewter
#

we have

ornate cedar
#

smooth

barren pewter
#

drop settings to ultra low and play at 720p

ornate cedar
#

disable colours

feral ferry
#

Yeah that's not a good experience now is it

barren pewter
#

ask the fortnite "pros"

#

who have $1200 gpus and play at 1080p lowest settings

#

I don't get it

keen urchin
#

I need a 1200$ GPU

#

Eco is murdering my VII :p

barren pewter
#

ah

#

so for work purposes

#

makes sense

ornate cedar
#

low graphic settings is not too bad. even advantagious in some games where grass obscures your line of sight

barren pewter
#

true

#

now, low graphics settings look alright

feral ferry
#

That's quite literally abusing the system in a way

barren pewter
#

10 years ago, it was a blurry mess with low settings

feral ferry
#

But for the most part, we drop settings to lowest for biggest perf increase

#

When I can plug a GPU in and play virtually any game at 999+ FPS, it will be so much better

#

No need for devs to make custom texture resolutions and bother with optimization

barren pewter
#

but if your panel can only do 144hz, do you need the extra 700 ish fps?

feral ferry
#

PC GPU's are getting better

#

But Smartphones are just stuck in a ditch

barren pewter
#

mobile ports

feral ferry
#

Last I checked games don't run well on smartphones at all

barren pewter
#

they'll play metro 2033 in 2050

#

yeah

#

barely run GTA SA on a modern phone

feral ferry
#

Panel tech will advance with framerate

#

Plus you can't see more than 24 FPS

#

😄

barren pewter
#

bullshit

ornate cedar
#

Cant do much when you have to design with the battery in mind

barren pewter
#

true

feral ferry
#

Wait for Tesla batteries

#

Unlimited power

#

kappa

barren pewter
#

we need bigger batteries

ornate cedar
#

New innovative batteries to disrupt the litium-battery market

feral ferry
#

What's the battery type Tesla is pursuing?

#

They taunt like 1 million mile lifespan or something

#

Ah, Tesla’s new batteries will rely on innovations such as low-cobalt and cobalt-free battery chemistries

ornate cedar
#

Lithium-sulphur batteries seem pretty pogchamp

feral ferry
#

Dunno Tesla is just talking about Cobalt

#

But if we advance past Lithium, that would be awesome for laptops and phones

#

Laptops are in a particularly sad spot tbh

#

Gaming laptops can't really utilize their hardware effectively on the road

ornate cedar
#

I dunno, Lithium is one of the best elements to be used from the chemistry.

feral ferry
#

I can't vouch for chemistry as I don't know much about it

#

But non exhaustable batteries I would love

ornate cedar
#

All batteries will wear-down sadly. the ideal world taunts us

fringe salmon
#

They are not marketing cobalt free as important bc it lasts longer or anything

ornate cedar
#

16x the detail

fringe salmon
#

It’s because most of it comes from abusing African countries and warlords that rule there etc.

feral ferry
#

4x the size, of Fallout 4

#

2x, the price

#

0.5x the excitement

ornate cedar
#

32x the microtransaction

feral ferry
#

0.25x the value

ornate cedar
#

0x the fanbase

feral ferry
#

I ain't gon' lie to you champ, I am quite excited for Starfield

#

At least for the initial gameplay to drop

#

CP2077 I was very optimistic for, gameplay dropped and I became less interested

#

I am still very in the mood for Dying Light 2

#

Starfield could be phenomenal but we can only wait and see

ornate cedar
#

CP77 seems pretty pog tho

feral ferry
#

Not what I really expected but it will be great

#

Dunno I played RDR2 the other night and it was boring

#

Well mainly cause I already know the story

ornate cedar
#

Poker is where the gameplay is hiding

feral ferry
#

I can't play poker 😄

#

I used to play poker in this one PSP game

#

I just used to spam check or raise

#

And hope for success

#

I had no clue how the fuck Poker is played

ornate cedar
#

I just pullout my gun if it aint going well.

feral ferry
#

And "call" or whatever it's called

#

I still don't know how you play it

ornate cedar
#

all-in - 1, then all-in to fuck the ai up

feral ferry
#

I was disappointed I can't just run into random houses and rob them tbh

#

Can't shoot out the windows either

#

Dunno I was spoiled by Skyrim on that front

#

Break into a house and steal their shit

ornate cedar
#

Would not be much of a redemption arch tho

feral ferry
#
