[barren pewter]

some modern rounds just punch through someone, leaving a neat hole

but a slow moving heavy bullet will work through whatever it comes across, shattering bone and turning flesh into mincemeat

and then stay inside the target

leaving a stupidly nasty and fairly hard to patch wound

[feral ferry]

Isn't it just easier to use those bladed rounds

These buddies

[barren pewter]

illegal

iirc

not allowed for warfare

[feral ferry]

Man these do some serious damage

I saw them fired in a gelatin torso, there's some insane tissue damage done

[barren pewter]

pog

[feral ferry]

Also it's not illegal if the person you fired it at is dead and can't tell anyone weSmart

[barren pewter]

ffs

starting to sound like !LordPanda

"not illegal if we don't get caught"

[feral ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/always-has-been-gif-18932176

You know the drill

[barren pewter]

give me the gun

I'll do it myself

[keen urchin]

I don't enough about guns to understand why some bullets are illegal and others are not, when they all just kill?

[feral ferry]

Why use bullets when you can use gas?

Cheaper and more effective

Yet illegal

Or rather banned

[keen urchin]

Limited range, probably

[feral ferry]

Nah just inhumane

[keen urchin]

Also, not directed

[feral ferry]

Too much damage

Even in game hunting, there is an etiquete

If you were to shoot someone, make a clean kill

Just respect the being you are about to end

Gas just burns people up from inside

[keen urchin]

Depends on the gas?
CO is probably one of the most humane killing methods I can think of

You just fall asleep. Painlessly. That's it.

[feral ferry]

Not really good for military use though, slow working agent

Mustard Gas on the other hand

[keen urchin]

That's why you use guns. You can aim. They have range. They're fast acting.

[feral ferry]

Yeah and that's why normal gun rounds are not banned

But when you start to maximize damage done that's when the international laws want to know your location

[keen urchin]

I don't understand why killing someone with a normal bullet is legal, but killing them with a 0.50 cal AP round is illegal?

[barren pewter]

AP on a person is a waste

.50 on a person is a waste

[keen urchin]

Maybe. Still kills

[barren pewter]

and so does a single shot rifle chambered in .22 LR

but the militaries of the world don't use those

because there are better options

[placid garden]

some bullets fragment and some bullets dont fragment

the ones that don't fragment do a lot of internal damage

[barren pewter]

wait, they issue .22 rifles?

oh

my bad

and wild

makes sense

a pistol is for close range

so, worrying about shooting through thin walls isn't really an issue

5.7 is getting better adoption as time goes on

eventually everyone will be using handguns and SMGs in 5.7

but for now, yeah, 9mm is king

I want a C1A1, but getting one here is nigh impossible

[ashen lark]

Started playing life is strange yesterday, continuing today, and so far got to start of second episode. Had expectations normal to high, but the game exceeded them by a lot. The artstyle and graphics are really interesting, and fit the game well. The fact that it takes place in high school also makes it big relatable and interesting. But the story is imo done so well, all the characters having their backstories, and especially the main character. And the soundtrack is also great, adding up to the atmosphere, the song main character was listening to found out was from same singer I have listened to one other song oftenly from, so ended instantly in my playlist. The only issue of the game is that it has ending. Wish there were like 20 episodes or more. The fact that one episode is one day, so you usually have 2-3 hours to go through everyday also allows for lot of things happen everyday, and even small details to be shown, which is imo great.

[ornate cedar]

Gun goes boom

[bleak pike]

sigh

I need to have ea desktop + xbox linked account

for ea play xbox game pass

:/

holy shit

i cannot remove ea desktop

[ornate cedar]

Malware confirmed

[bleak pike]

had to use revo uninstall advanced

to purge it

holy shit

[ornate cedar]

Even malware is easier to remove

[bleak pike]

uninstalling via control panel etc

doesnot work

and isnt supported yet

in betas

great

so basically

i cant use ea play via game pass

:/

[ripe tendon]

cause you uninstalled it?

[bleak pike]

no

cos basically i use a different account for the store on windows

vs xbox account

to launch the games

store account for the game pass

[ripe tendon]

I understood none of that

[bleak pike]

Whatever the store login is for windows is needed for ea play

[ripe tendon]

Is that not what account linking is for?

[bleak pike]

right now i use my xbox account on the app which shares the gamepass on my store

Main account

xbox game pass account

i can play games on my account account sharing the xbox gamepass on mys tore account

however ea play requires the store account

so i cant use my xbox account

Basically me being cheap.

Means i cant use ea play

or well i cant user my xbox account

[ripe tendon]

This should be entertaining to follow

"We're a YCombinator-backed company. We know MMOs cannot be built with just $10K. We've secured the majority of our funding from some of the best investors in Silicon Valley. We know that we'll be able to deliver our Alpha and beyond with the money we already have!

We're here on Kickstarter building community. We want to grow our player-base and offer fun in-game items as an introduction to DreamWorld's closed Alpha! All of the money pledged here still matters. If we raise enough, we may be able to hire an additional full-time engineer to bring you Alpha features faster than we expected to!"

[ornate cedar]

"Best investor"

Good in giving people money

They will give you money so good you will be surprised how people can even give you money that way

But even with the best investors we cant hire one additional full-time engineer. What kind of engineer? Civil engineer ofcourse, what else?

[feral ferry]

Regarding this

There are apparently 2 or 3 different versions of the game

Some playtested an engine demo version

Very unpolished just for the engine

Others playtested the more fuller version of the game

[ashen lark]

Also so far life is strange feels like it would be great game even without ability to turn back time, although that allows you some special dialogues, even without it, the way the characters and everything is, game would be imo enjoyable even without turning back time. I started forgetting that the character can turn back time during some sections.

[ashen lark]

Wish there were more episodes, or just second part with max as main character. It’s imo hard if not impossible to write more relatable character than max. Sure, Life is strange 3 is happening in nice environment and looks quite good, but main character there already has few things happening making it not very relatable, while in life is strange, apart from time, that is not very oftenly used, and usually only fixes some decisions, the main character is just very relatable, as it’s basically regular student.

[feral ferry]

I dislike the fact that Max became a cult hit

And she got forgotten

They just ditched her character

I would much rather see her story develop further than have a new character

[bleak pike]

Hmm

Deleted

Damn

[feral ferry]

Hm what?

Oh the R6 stuff

Eh it's alright

Seems like the same stuff but improved that we had during Operation Chimera

[bleak pike]

Maybe it's. On reddit

[feral ferry]

https://youtu.be/RCyhmWlHaPE

What you see here is what you are getting with Parasite

[bleak pike]

I downloaded siege just for that gamemode

XD

When it came out

When will people learn to start using sources

That don't take shit down

No one here archive if?

[feral ferry]

Will check

Give me a dozen

[bleak pike]

I'm very interested in this xD

https://streamable.com/t/zxfzlz

[feral ferry]

Yeah this is an engine test version

He didn't get access to the full game

Other game versions apparently had no watermark and were much fuller

Also

[feral ferry]

https://www.facebook.com/TEAM.OM3GA/videos/274238310945381

This footage is much higher quality

[bleak pike]

That's the guy's who streamed the footage facebook

Apparently he "got permission to stream the NDA'd footage"

[bleak pike]

Is that dialogue text to speak lol

Haha

Reminds me of the engine test for anthem

[placid garden]

🗿

i remember playing that long ago

let me dig up clips

[ashen lark]

Same. I hope there will be some continuing. Wish they made more episodes

[bleak pike]

ugh

i wish i could relax when gaming

it just doesn't happen

[orchid prism]

Stop playing competitive games 😄

[bleak pike]

i dont

my issue is i cant just comfortable

:/

[orchid prism]

Stop MAKING them competitive 😄

[bleak pike]

like i cant just chill back

physically

[barren pewter]

btw

[bleak pike]

my TV is to far from my bed (its only 43)

[barren pewter]

I think I just cheesed CS-GO

my monitor can put a crosshair on my screen

[bleak pike]

my monitors are to far too

[barren pewter]

which is great for snipers in CS, since no crosshair appears

I got about a dozen no scope auto-sniper kills in one casual match

[bleak pike]

Desk isn't particularly cozy either

wow thats a bad pic

[barren pewter]

nice setup

[small comet]

BRUH

[barren pewter]

bad photo

[small comet]

that brightness

jesus

[barren pewter]

yeah

[fading spade]

Cosier than mine, I have a wooden chair

[barren pewter]

your retinas must be fried, cal

turn the brightness down

ffs

[small comet]

prob also gonna have troubles falling asleep on time

[fading spade]

I sit on a wooden chair nearly 12 hours a day

[small comet]

screens way too bright ngl

[barren pewter]

weeb shit

but yes, that brightness

[bleak pike]

hardly weeb

[fading spade]

I have an chair like that but smaller at my house but I cant carry it here cause we arent allowed replace furniture, even if we put back the original when we arent here anymore

[fading spade]

WEEB

[fading spade]

Im glad you can see into your computer

[bleak pike]

i need to get a foot rest

[fading spade]

that lil light at the top corner is the PC power button xd, its behind my second monitor

sitting on my chest of drawers.... not even on my desk

[fading spade]

hows your taskbar a different color on each screen?

[small comet]

i use displayfusion and not win10 multitaskbar

cause

i can disable startmenu button on one bar

and also split the windows

and not have both taskbars show all windows

[fading spade]

wot

[small comet]

pins are also different

[bleak pike]

You even watch demon slayer

lana

[fading spade]

even

[bleak pike]

since re install i couldn't be assed changing anything

even my wallpaper

lol

[fading spade]

windows is the best OS!!

[small comet]

i mean ngl windows 10 tried the right approach

and display fusion also has its problems

like

not displaying media controls

[placid garden]

i dont use displayfusion

[fading spade]

just default one?

..

oh

[small comet]

https://discordjs.moe/bqdcgh045jy7.png https://discordjs.moe/6de7lfbpd7kh.png

[placid garden]

zzz

[bleak pike]

i need to do that with my left monitor

[fading spade]

I need to stop being lazy and put my monitors back on their mount

[bleak pike]

but there is no room

[fringe salmon]

dont even know what displayfusion is because default windows multimonitor works with no issues for me

[placid garden]

im glad windows let you stack stuff easy

[bleak pike]

i has a fridge

[placid garden]

but sometimes it forgets the position and it irritates me

[bleak pike]

in the way

xD

i need a better monitor stand

arm

sorry

the one i have is cheap af

does the job very well

but adjusting it is a bitch

[placid garden]

ya

pretty meh keyboard

[fading spade]

does the job very well
but adjusting it is a bitch
Yeah... thats why im too lazy to set it back up

[placid garden]

yeah it does, i don't like the gaps

[bleak pike]

this is what i have

xD

for that price you cant go wrong

[placid garden]

i want those gas spring ones

[bleak pike]

same

[placid garden]

but i dont need one rn

[fading spade]

This is my one

you need to pull out a handle, turn it 270 degrees and pull the whole arm pieces upwards to just move it like a single millimetre

and repeat that for every millimetre you wanna adjust

oh,. its this one https://www.komplett.ie/ewent-ew1512-desk-mount/20836765/product

[bleak pike]

i dont like them

[placid garden]

ah great, knobs to twist

[bleak pike]

thats what i hate about mine, or well adjusting in general.

Horrible xD

and i have to get help

[placid garden]

need longer cables if i want to push mines even higher

also two monitors is really heavy

[fading spade]

my cables are plenty long since my computer right behind the second monitor

[placid garden]

my monitor is on the far other side of my desk

pc is on the opposite end

its pretty tight

[bleak pike]

i still feel cramped

even with my long ass desk

[fading spade]

You saying YOU are cramped???!!!

[placid garden]

i'm looking forward to expanding to a 180 cm desk

something longer would give me so much room to put stuff everywhere

[wicked latch]

Lana why do you have a controller when you have an analog keyboard? xD

[fading spade]

cause I cant get used to pressing keys without bottoming out

xd

I use analog for minecraft and other games to drive in but not this game

the crossbar is why I cant put my PC on the floor ;-; wont fit under the desk

[tough jay]

My monitor arm setup is kind of bad but fairly typical for me.
I used some 50 euro triple monitor arm for some time, however at some point I upgraded one to 27 inch.
It didn't fit, so I got the 27 inch version of the same set, ended up being exactly the same.
Then I thought, why not combine the two, turned out the screws did not want to come lose under any unreasonable force.
I worked around it with some brackets putting the two 24 inch ones in offset.

Later I tried again, this time drilling out the screws which did actually work.
So now I have a triple monitor arm with extra long arms that easily fit anything I want to throw at it.

[bleak pike]

i have a controller

i literally never use analog

on my wooting

last time i properly used it was during tesitng

[tough jay]

As for my desk, it's 320cm (2x 160cm attached together) with some cheap ikea legs on the bottom, it's stable enough for me at least.

Also my pc is next to the 320cm desk, not on top of it or under it.

[bleak pike]

i did the exact same

lol

ikea legs

ive gotten so used to watching shit lkike this

[tough jay]

Mine:

[bleak pike]

i kinda miss having my left monitor landscape

[small comet]

bruh

how can u even see

[bleak pike]

easy

[small comet]

how are ur retinas not burned away

[bleak pike]

i use my eyes

why would they be burned

[small comet]

cause ur in a dark room with way too bright monitors

[bleak pike]

tis the camera

xD

[small comet]

this is what causes eye strain and loss of sight

psure its not

[bleak pike]

my room isn't pitch black

[small comet]

OI

how did u get a photo of my lamp

anyway

seeing how ur camera makes out ur monitors to be shit tons brighter

ull just strain ur eyes

its like reading a book in the dark

[bleak pike]

my monitor is 80%

atm

[small comet]

bruh

[tough jay]

Entire setup for good measure:

[small comet]

i run mine on 60 with nightlight on 100% of the time on max setting

plus the bluelight filtering the monitor does supposedly

[bleak pike]

well

dont have huge issues

[fading spade]

4 monitors??!!

woow

[bleak pike]

i miss having 3

[small comet]

if i turn my lamp on

[bleak pike]

but not 4

[small comet]

room isnt dark anymore

[fading spade]

i see that NGNL

[bleak pike]

your desk is thiccc

also i didn't think you would like that anime

xD

[fading spade]

why u haz ketchup on your PC?

[small comet]

its a proper office desk

ofc

[tough jay]

yes 4 montors, 5 is just generally too akward and I don't like tilted montors.

[small comet]

cost me like 400bucks

[small comet]

for eating

theres also mayo

[fading spade]

wow

[small comet]

and a backup ketchup bottle

also salt and butter

[fading spade]

:')

[bleak pike]

monitors are so far from your eyes

[fading spade]

thats pure laziness right there and I respect it

[small comet]

"so far"

bruh

like 40cms max

thats way too close

[small comet]

not really laziness

but

[bleak pike]

anyway

cant get comfortable

😄

[small comet]

we finally got an appointment at a local store for kitchen stuffs

and might finally get a useable kitchen

cause what we have rn looks like a crack kitchen

also mega comfy

but rn

am super sleepy

hf bois and gals

[bleak pike]

i just always wanna get into bed

xD

[fading spade]

im not comfy, my butt hurts on this chair

[tough jay]

that does not look especially great from first glance

[small comet]

that

[tough jay]

Ah, the furthest I go is joystick + keyboard + mouse in warthunder, this goes a lot further

[small comet]

looks like some gaming chair

[tough jay]

I can understand wanting a specific chair for those needs, though the way I am build my arms are long enough to use similar controls from a bit further away.

[small comet]

my current chair is from big company where they usually cost like 600bucks or so and afaik its like 10years old now

all it needed so far was a clean and oiling

still works like on day one

[tough jay]

My current chair is one we had laying around in the office, I liked it and it's 20 years old.

I use the same at work.

Yes it does have arm rests and no I do not use them.

arm rests really never did anything for me but get in the way.

[small comet]

i use arm rests when watching a movie or eating smth

otherwise its an elbow rest

[fading spade]

^

[tough jay]

My back is rather short and my arms are long, so I quite comfortably rest my forearms on my legs while sitting straight.

[small comet]

idk if my back is short

[tough jay]

I just have fairly long arms compared to my torso, longer legs as well.

[fading spade]

my back is long, I just clouch too much

and my shoulders slump

[wheat kraken]

I use some gaming chair i got some staples. it's pretty good

[bleak pike]

https://mrpl.me/sf3908b_rfn2.jpg

ill admit

damn

one hell of a view

[orchid prism]

You've triggered my screenshot card!

(I'll get some new screenshots when the game has DLC. Can't be bothered to have to start over a third time, because I forgot to take backups of my ongoing save)

[bleak pike]

i think dlss

kills it

https://mrpl.me/J33907b_rfu7.jpg

[orchid prism]

Meh... I want FPS 😄

[bleak pike]

i can play fine ultra without flss

dlss

i just kinda prefer to just have rtx

cos i paid enough for it

😄

[orchid prism]

I think I'm running Medium with lowest RT and Quality DLSS at 1440P

And that gives me... 80? FPS 99%

[bleak pike]

back then

id imagine

as you have a 3080 now

:p

[orchid prism]

[bleak pike]

@orchid prism i just dont like it tbh xD

im trying to finish it for the sake of finishing it

and it was bought for me

[orchid prism]

[bleak pike]

as an xmas gift

id feel bad if i never play it

[orchid prism]

Seems a bit unfair to you, to expect you to play a game you didn't ask for 😄

[slim token]

imagine getting gifts

[fading spade]

Ladies, Gentlemen and everybody in between

[fading spade]

M'They'dy for the enby folk

[barren pewter]

wut

seems a bit too low

[orchid prism]

In Downtown busy street? Don't think so.

cba to play for long enough to get back to street level 😄

[barren pewter]

I've never gone below 70 ish FPS with the same settings at 1440p

so, for you to get 80 seems a wee bit low

[orchid prism]

shrug Still cba to replay like 30mins to test.

[hot spire]

this makes my craigslist lazyboy with the arms cut and my modded x52 mounted look like a cheap hack lol

[fading spade]

Would cyberpunk run with better fps from an SSD? Or does that only affect load times?

[orchid prism]

Wouldn't help much. It uses Unreal engine, so stuff is just untextured until it can get loaded in.

[fading spade]

Oohh

[orchid prism]

So... a lot of visual pop-in worst case.

[fading spade]

I had that already xd

Maybe not running it from a 5400rpm drive will help

[ripe tendon]

did you use the slow hdd option?

I imagine it won't do a lot but it may be something

[fading spade]

I haven't had the game installed since January

So idk

I need to download the fully updated version if I can next time I install of

[fallow bronze]

in star citizen an ssd is a requirement to get any decent fps

[fading spade]

I know I have a game that lists an ssd as part of the minimum specs but I forget which game it is

Other than when I had cyberpunk

[tender sequoia]

on the topic of star citizen, does the analog signal work for lateral etc on sc?

[trim rock]

Yes, of course

[tender sequoia]

thought id check that before i went for one

directinput? that just % pressed?

no im just unfamiliar with the terminology in this software

[trim rock]

Xinput is just trouble as games that only support it tend to have poor mixed input support anyway

[tender sequoia]

if this werent a discord for analog keyboards i would have assumed it be that, guess thats a constant ¯_(ツ)_/¯

huh, tbh i didnt think about how the pc would see it

i would have assumed it be some sort of pwm but thats what i get for messing with arduinos

[fading spade]

Wireless??

Wot

Hmm

Everything so far is plug and play for me

Except my wireless xbox one controller

Windows doesn't like it

[tender sequoia]

usb 1.1... ancient relics

[fading spade]

Mine seems to have no issues whichever USB port its in, but I have heard some people say to use 2 incase

[fallow bronze]

my wooting 1 only has issues sometimes when waking up from sleep

a replug fixes it

[fading spade]

interesting

[hot spire]

To be fair the xbox 360 wireless adapter drivers are a hack job.

[fading spade]

Just Shapes and Beats only works with a One controller

[barren pewter]

3.7 out of 5 stars

yeeeesh

yoooo

I got this game for my xbox

one of my favs

well then, I guess I should get it on steam

only $7.50 CAD

better than the $30 I payed for my xbox one copy YEARS ago

doesn't matter to me

steam DRM is alright

I just hate truly invasive DRM

[young hill]

20% is a joke

Alright.

Right good point

[fading spade]

Then you need to redownload it everytime there is an update

[young hill]

I trust that key vendor anyways, they are generous with pricing and I once got a day one edition of a game months after it released

[young hill]

Yeah that and besides it being possibly a virus.

[fringe salmon]

don't want incovenience or risk, so it's time to pay some form of scam instead of the devs

[trim rock]

Eh, I've gotten a couple keys from there seems like it's at least a slight step up above G2A

[fringe salmon]

ok but there is literally no way to get a game for cheaper than it has been on stores without some scummy acting, doesn't have to be stolen CC like g2a, but grey area in the minimum still

[trim rock]

Drue

[fringe salmon]

using keys from a region where it's cheaper because people earn much less is one such way and often the "vendor" still adds a $ or two on top of you not paying the dev what he asks for

[young hill]

You mean ebay where some people sell accounts they share and the game can only be played offline 🤣🤣

[fringe salmon]

lol didnt even know about that

[wheat kraken]

I already own mad max but if it's free... I might get a DRM Free version

[fading spade]

AHAHA I LOVE IT

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

WAIT THEY DIDNT IMPLEMENT IT YET

.-.

[fringe salmon]

... they did

[fading spade]

wat

[fringe salmon]

It’s fixed

[fading spade]

I cant play rn and see

;-;

[fringe salmon]

Why do you think it’s not ?

[fading spade]

it probaly wont make a difference for me, my wifi is still shit and its running from a slow ass HDD

once I get the SSD installed and cloned the stuff over, hehe

[fringe salmon]

... why would it not matter on an hdd

You did read the part where he said that it’s json parsing and string reading that’s causing it yeah?

[fading spade]

yeh

New JAPANESE trademarks regarding games, mostly

[fading spade]

Catboy Paradise

GIMME

[fading spade]

I wanna play it again :P

[barren pewter]

maybe I should finally beat ultimate vault hunter mode

as I've only done vault hunter and true vault hunter modes

[fading spade]

I havent finished the game mostly cause im bad at scavenger FPS games

[barren pewter]

ngl, I found the game hard until I had elemental weapons

fighting those stupid loader bots is so easy with corrosive weapons

in my last playthrough, that corrosive weapon was a dahl pistol

pretty pog

[fading spade]

o

[barren pewter]

also

aiming with a controller is hella hard

hopefully I'm more successful on PC with a mouse and keeb

[fading spade]

using the UI Is way easier on controller though

especially the inventory

on kb&m I can never figure out what to do to swap guns or whatever most of the time

[hot spire]

Bl2 has mad aim assist with controller though

[fading spade]

This game really be making AI taxis suicidal

cyberpunk

[barren pewter]

:D

ngl

I love the little bit of act II where you get in your car

and the AI taxi just goes full on demolition derby on it

in a parking lot

[fading spade]

ITS LITERALLY GLADOS

WTF

[orchid prism]

Yes... literally lazy soundbytes taken from Portal. I hate that quest so much.

[fading spade]

no, there are definelty some ones for this made

[orchid prism]

Nope.

[fading spade]

wot

[orchid prism]

It's all from Portal. No new recordings.

[fading spade]

o.o

unused clips?

[orchid prism]

... Used... clips.

Have you even played Portal? 😄

[fading spade]

yes

[orchid prism]

It matches up so poorly.

[fading spade]

but there are some she says that ive never heard in portal

[orchid prism]

Give me an example.

[fading spade]

Im just after it now one sec lemme go bacm

I don't mind Glados making a cameo. I mind that they just grabbed lines from Portal and tried to stitch it together with V's dialogue. It's a complete disconnect.

[fading spade]

ok

how about this one?

[orchid prism]

https://i1.theportalwiki.net/img/d/d6/GLaDOS_escape_02_miscbabble-25.wav

One of the lines from the final fight in Portal 1

[fading spade]

hmmm

wow

ok

[barren pewter]

an Easter egg?

[orchid prism]

Part of a chain of sidemissions.

[barren pewter]

or shameless copy?

[fading spade]

yea i havent heard these last two

[orchid prism]

Y'all really need to replay Portal 😄

[barren pewter]

ye, the name I can't spell

where you need to find and hack the AI taxis

[orchid prism]

Mhmm

[fading spade]

ye

drives car to afterlife

Gets out of car

Car spontaneously turns onto its side

a minute later it just randomly explodes

[orchid prism]

[barren pewter]

sounds like an average day in night city to me, lana

:P

[fading spade]

Yep.... for sure

The police are no match for my flaming hot dental floss

[barren pewter]

floss those fuckers, lana

[fading spade]

:')

[orchid prism]

There goes a limb or three.

[barren pewter]

:D

imagine breaking out a monowire, to cut some cheese for a sandwich or something

[fallow bronze]

it look like shes watching a streamer play

[barren pewter]

wholesome cyberpunk

[orchid prism]

All of the body weapons are utterly pointless unless you only grab them late game... and at that point why bother 😄

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/5FEvg2KTAHE

[feral ferry]

Why are we bringing up quarter of a year old stories up again

This was discussed on the release week

Lana iirc you were there to discuss GladOS literally back then

Why are you resurrecting dead threads

[fading spade]

🤔 Ididnt know they made references to it until today

[feral ferry]

You are months late to the party then

[fading spade]

yeah, I didnt get far into the game

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

too laggy on my PC and I didnt enjoy it much

[feral ferry]

finished it twice

[fading spade]

lol

[feral ferry]

With all sidequests

Or nearly all sidequests

[barren pewter]

nice

I did all the sidequests

and after that

[feral ferry]

I didn't do the Delamain sidequest chain at all

[barren pewter]

I just went back to fallout new vegas

way better in every way

[feral ferry]

Just cause it pissed me off

I hate how "ONE OF MY VEHICLES IS NEAR YOUR LOCATION" "ONE OF MY VEHICLES IS NEAR YOUR LOCATION" "ONE OF MY VEHICLES IS NEAR YOUR LOCATION" "ONE OF MY VEHICLES IS NEAR YOUR LOCATION" "ONE OF MY VEHICLES IS NEAR YOUR LOCATION"

Just gets spammed constantly

[barren pewter]

hey vex

[feral ferry]

Like fuck off Delamain I am doing main quest, I don't give a fuck about your vehicles

[barren pewter]

ONE OF MY VEHICLES IS NEAR YOUR LOCATION

[fading spade]

a share of your payment has been transferred

[feral ferry]

That is the exact reason I never did Delamain

Fuck Delamain and annoying quest design

[barren pewter]

[fading spade]

i sent a tow truck and a share of your payment, only one of those is going into your account, hahaha

[feral ferry]

What

[orchid prism]

[feral ferry]

What's she on about

[orchid prism]

It's a quote from the mission.'

[feral ferry]

🤷‍♂️

[bleak pike]

One of the coolest moments ive had in gaming ngl

https://youtu.be/uah1t6CaYtM

spacewalk with that soundtrack and speech

[ornate cedar]

Mine would be: https://youtu.be/R9Kt5UHcYpk

[bleak pike]

Metro Last Light was bizare

but great

sex scene was awk af tho

[fading spade]

What a way for the game to introduce us to Panam.....

[barren pewter]

well duh, anna just had a brush with death and was afraid that she would get sick from the plague, so she found comfort in artyom

[orchid prism]

Technically you saw her earlier in the Afterlife if you had your eyes open.

[barren pewter]

ye

[fading spade]

oohh hmmm

[barren pewter]

right before rogue tells you about her

you can see her walking away pissed

[fading spade]

oohhh

haha

[orchid prism]

Earlier too. She hangs out at the club. But you don't interact with her 😄

[barren pewter]

because rogue set her up with raffen shiv members

which nomads don't do

[fading spade]

Yes, she talking about that rn

xd

[keen urchin]

One of the most annoying NPCs in CP imo

Right next to Johnny and that preacher

[fading spade]

Johnny is an ass but he doesnt lie

[barren pewter]

I think the most annoying character is jackie

he's always so optimistic

and then he just slips out of it so fast

[fading spade]

Ehh

I didnt like Dex

I knew shit would go down

[barren pewter]

Dex just lead V on

and V was too smooth brained to figure it out

[fading spade]

Yeaah

[small comet]

the most annoying character is v

change my mind

[fading spade]

Annoying but effective

[small comet]

na my v had way too much sex

[barren pewter]

ye

bedded with 2 people, lived through a third encounter

what a player

[small comet]

but srsly

my v is a godlike terminator

[keen urchin]

I'm not even annoyed. The story is just so weird. Plotholes central

[barren pewter]

ye

[fading spade]

The story cahnges depending on your background and skill level too

some options other people may not get are the best ones

[barren pewter]

not really

[small comet]

the story

is exactly the same for everyone

doesnt even matter what start u chose

[barren pewter]

other than some speech options and the prologue, not at all

[fading spade]

how? If he didnt choose some options, a lot of things would be different in it

[small comet]

should ya

but arent

only dialogs are different maybe the one missions u chose the option in plays slightly different

but u always get the same missions

the same endings

the same stuff happens

theres only 3 endings btw

u wont like any of them

tbf theres a reason people hate cyberpunk

so this shouldnt be a surprise

[barren pewter]

ngl

all endings are shite

[small comet]

yep

especially since none of them are a "good" ending

[barren pewter]

arisaka, merc and nomad all suck donkey balls

[small comet]

without spoiling too much

[barren pewter]

besides

merc and nomad are really just the same idea, but a bit different

[small comet]

yep

[small comet]

why are u screenshotting a yt video

or stream

[barren pewter]

lana

just screenshot your own staring at panam's ass

no one will judge

[fading spade]

I dont have the game xd

[placid garden]

lana loves watching james huh

[fading spade]

Yes xd this game suits him so well

[fringe salmon]

you should make a blog and post your liveblogging of youtube there 😛

[fading spade]

nah m8

His V looks like offbrand Walther White

But with a little bit of Minecraft Jeb going on

[fading spade]

sick burn Johnny

[barren pewter]

little did johnny know

my little johnny can grow in size

[fading spade]

V is a simp to Panam

[barren pewter]

you know what they say

if he breathes, he's a simp

[fading spade]

xd

here we go, Into GTA Online once this happens

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

No one can beat this swag

got makeover

[barren pewter]

imagine just seeing someone rob a bank with nothing but a pair of undies and a unicorn mask

[fading spade]

:')

[barren pewter]

:)

[fading spade]

that would be a sight

[barren pewter]

that makeup be pretty wild

[fading spade]

why this looking like the Darling in the Franxx logo?

[fresh aspen]

lol

ive been playing gta for too long

where exactly is that sign

i wanna say airport

[fringe salmon]

yeah the ground below it looks like airport area

[fading spade]

oh hey

the game crashed

WOOOO#

[barren pewter]

POG?

[fresh aspen]

i knew it

ive just been playing this game for too long

[barren pewter]

tell me about it

[fresh aspen]

2013 days

[barren pewter]

I've been playing GTA online since 2015 iirc

[fresh aspen]

i remember doing all the lil glitches before the devs patched

ah the simple days

i originally played it on ps3

even tho the ps3 cam out in 2006

[small comet]

https://discordjs.moe/i9t0tru4gcsg.png

does it?

[fresh aspen]

and the ps4 came out in 2013

i think

[fading spade]

Borderlands 2 is fucked

its just this in the corner now

[small comet]

?

just what

[fresh aspen]

i wish i had 3070 :sad:

[fading spade]

that lil white box

[barren pewter]

why?

they are great, yes

but worth 900£?

I think not

[fresh aspen]

well

if i had it rrp

is that discord lightmode

[fading spade]

This game runs like shit on Linux .-.

but so well on Windows

AGHH

[fresh aspen]

lol

i just use windows

cause then i can see outside

[fringe salmon]

yes the last bl2 update broke something for linux iirc

[fresh aspen]

my eyes

[fading spade]

same xd

[fresh aspen]

oh lord

on phone you can use ultra dark mode

[orchid prism]

Dark Mode ALL the things.

Or even Oled dark mode when possible.

😔

[bleak pike]

@barren pewter 👏 STOP 👏 DELETING 👏 MESSAGES 👏

[fading spade]

I forgot how to use the other power

the one that recharges over time

[fringe salmon]

look in the menu

[bleak pike]

F or Q

[fringe salmon]

otherwise it would helpt to mention what game we even talk about

[bleak pike]

BL2

id imagine

[feral ferry]

I wish OLEDs weren't so weak on black colours

Well they do really vibrant blacks

But OLEDs just hate bright black colours

Screen brightness

The brighter, the worse the burn in

[fringe salmon]

do you mean grey?

[feral ferry]

Your confusion has also confused me

You genuinely confused me

Can't black be bright?

Yeah mine does

So, how do OLEDs even handle shades of black?

Just apply gradually more light on the pixels?

Um

Then what's this

[fringe salmon]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey

[feral ferry]

That according to wikipedia is not grey

And actual shades of black

Hm

Well you learn something new every day

[fringe salmon]

the definition of a shade is adding black to a color

so black and black would just be black still

[slim token]

black shades are my favorite

[orchid prism]

I get what you're saying...but then we have "off-white" and all of their friends 😄

So... by definition people have accepted that "shades of black" exist.

Also we have those odd edge cases like Vanta Black and... whatever the blacker black is called.

[fringe salmon]

we are also talking about screens and in this case it is fairly limited and restricted

and with 3 colors there is 1 black you can show

turned off black

pinkest pink also doesnt work for similar reaons 😛

[orchid prism]

If white has shade, then logically the opposite end of the spectrum must also have shades.

[slim token]

shade is adding black aint it

not logical

[orchid prism]

Or white to a colour.

Again - You're muddling up science with public perception and opinion. 😄

Err... no 😄

Let me ask you this. Assuming #000000 - If you brighten this the slighest bit, people will still call that black.

Not "super dark grey"

You have to brighten black by a substancial amount to get anyone who isn't using a colourpicker to call it anything but.

[fallow bronze]

cant say i miss the headaches from crt

even at higher refreshrates

LCD is a very stable image, very little if any flickering

[ashen lark]

But the contrast

[fallow bronze]

not that important in most desktop screen applications :p

only for gaming and tv

[ashen lark]

Well watching movies or playing games during night

Actually went to watching movies on my phone most of the time as it has the best screen from any device I have

[fallow bronze]

phone screens are really good

almost all of them are

[feral ferry]

NEW SONY PATENT

"METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AWARDING TROPHIES via emulation" Application Date: November 30, 2020

Publication Date: March 18, 2021.

[barren pewter]

meh

so, a new achievement system

[feral ferry]

Peeps are speculating with Vita, PSP, PS3 etc kicking the bucket soon, Sony wants those titles to be emulated

[feral ferry]

You didn't read, or didn't pay attention

[barren pewter]

do you really give a shit, as a PC player?

[feral ferry]

Yes

Yes I do

One of the things I loved about my ancient PS2

Was that I could play my PSX games along with PS2 games

PS3 didn't have backwards compatibility to my knowledge, and neither did PS4

I love backwards compatibility

If PS5 gets emulation for previous Sony consoles and their titles, that's sick

[barren pewter]

they actually have some good exclusives

maybe they aren't to your tastes

fair enough

[fringe salmon]

lost odyssey

[barren pewter]

:P

[fringe salmon]

360 only

I want to see auto hdr to be nice before I'd count that

I think it will be great, but not anytime soon

like dlss

[barren pewter]

ye

I wanted to get an RTX card for DLSS, not really RTX

and seeing DLSS in action

wow

it's insane

[ashen lark]

Well, for people who don’t have enough money for a decent gaming pc

[barren pewter]

dude

same

oh

I never bought boosters

but I got myself a new game every month or two

mhm

the couch is the best thing on the planet

the ultimate min-max

you could get coins, I once found a $20 steam card in mine from a while ago that I never actually redeemed and forgot about

and I've also found a month old slice of pizza

in the same couch

same day

so, yeah

entirely luck of the draw with the couch

wow

I don't blame you

but

silicon shortages

I'm personally more bothered by the lack of good video games lately

I've started digging into the games I played when I had my depressed emo phase and was going full doomer

[ashen lark]

True. The best games imo were all released quite a long ago, covering different genres Skyrim (around2010) LiS (2015) or MC (around 2010)

[barren pewter]

ye

I'm still playing video games from 2005-2015

that's when all the really good stuff came out

[ashen lark]

Same. Actually I do not think I am playing any newer game than that

Also play war thunder time to time but that is completely different genre and also came out long ago

Yeah

But also I would not say that one is one of best games, just playing it, but part of it really sucks

Unlike the other 3 games

[bleak pike]

Depends

Destiny 2 is OK at it

[ashen lark]

I wish there were more story games like life is strange or what remains of Edith finch. Especially more of style in life is strange 1, or just more episodes to it.

[bleak pike]

Not great but OK

I haven't seen a single live game I've actually played and felt good playing

[ashen lark]

In which game?

Oh, simulation. AB and RB are quite ok playing for Germans for me

But SB, especially since facing post WW2 tanks in WW2 tanks was for me quite annoying in simulator battles I do not play that much

I usually play AB, or RB with pz 3 m, slowly switching to RB with most of tanks.
But for planes RB is imo so much superior

But the repair costs are the biggest issue for me tbh

I am mainly trying to get to me 262s nice since I really like that planes, also the design. Got lucky with One million crate so was finally able to purchase tiger 2 h

[tough jay]

I also play some war thunder, just planes I probably stop playing again after a while.

Italians are nice in that there is not a million things to unlock.

[ashen lark]

I do not really play see much, started with air just recently, want to get that ar 234 to plane rb 6.7

[tough jay]

I really do not care about tanks and ships.

I am mostly playing with 2.3 -3.3 stuff right now.

[ashen lark]

I started playing this game years ago but only cared about tanks before, now also care for planes

[ashen lark]

I am at max 6.7 and planes 4.7/AB 5.3

[tough jay]

I tried tanks a bit at some point but really couldn't care less about them.

[ashen lark]

But usually playing 3.0, 5.3, more rarely 6.7 or 6.0

[tough jay]

I just wish mouse aim wasn't a think in rb, I can work with it sure but it makes it less engaging.

[ashen lark]

You get manually aiming in RB too

Still not really used to it with planes

With tanks it’s easier for me

I am really bad at dive dropping bombs in RB

Actually usually more successful with just taking normal bomber and bombarding from 2000m

Kinda hard to do when 128mm on jagdtiger could irl destroy a tank at 4000m but in wt it has huge issues with accuracy even at 1000m

I wish panther G would not be .7 higher than D and would at least go to 5.7, when even F is there

Some tanks really love uptiers too. Pz 3 m nearly always gets full up tier but luckily performs well even at 4.0

Would be funny if all tanks had full ammo names and there would be APHECBCDS armor piercing high explosive capped ballistic capped discarding SABOT - found on E100 and maus

[orchid prism]

That reminds me of that one russianbadger video.

[slim token]

BESH

[orchid prism]

https://youtu.be/e7F0f0VWJnQ?t=27

Military terms are just... beautiful.

[ashen lark]

Longest name that could make sense would probably be APHECBCFSDS

But hesh sometimes acts really weirdly

You have pen values and everything and yet do nothing to t34 front armor even though you can do damage to some more armored tanks.

[ashen lark]

Actually at some angles it is able to do a lot of damage to angled thinner armor

But facing APFSDS with tiger 2s

Who thought it’s good idea to place ammunition in turret and left 30mm armor space on turret too smh

[dense pond]

thanks war thunder, very cool

[fringe salmon]

are you trying a hd texture pack with low ram or something?

[dense pond]

Yeah, but I should have enough ram.

Is 10GB not enough? Sounds like a joke if it ain't

[fringe salmon]

What’s the gpu ram?

[dense pond]

Not to mention the game doesn't even get close to 3gb

8192 (apparently)

[fringe salmon]

Oh right I forget you’re not the other boomer with an old gpu

Any overclocks/software limitations in place?

[dense pond]

Nope.

Seems to be a ram issue at this point or something odd

10GB graphical glitches but no crashes

<10GB one game ATM crashes, no graphical glitches

[fringe salmon]

Ehh that’s a bit premature

Could be ram , could be issue with the texture pack and some other part, could be vram etc.

[dense pond]

not texture pack. graphical issues appear in multiple games. either vram or ram. but it seems to be ram atm

[fringe salmon]

Do you have multiple sticks?

Could try if it works with just one

[dense pond]

i'll have to later on

and if that doesn't work either, i'll run memtest just to be sure i guess

[ashen lark]

Well, that’s same for any tank. You usually do not need more than 20 rounds of ammo on higher cal guns, maybe 30-40 on lower. And well anti air is sth else

Actually it’s not an issue with some lower tier tanks

Like pz 3 m, I always take full ammo and it exploded only like once

Panthers and tigers, you want to take less. Not that it mattered much with 2 h, and especially 2p. 2p was such a stupid design. Let’s put ammo in turret while leaving it frontally the most vulnerable place on tank in reality (100mm), and in games biggest weak spot

[ornate cedar]

Did the main issue the tigres had is that ammo gets spend more than there are targets?

[ashen lark]

Would not want to take more than 9 ammo lol

Even then

No matter how much ammo with panthers or tigers it’s basically one shot, and pz3m I have to go for turret

But jumbos are so annoying

[ornate cedar]

Tigres whould have been mostly there for shock value and allow medium and light tanks to flank the enemy. It shoots great, but bruns through fuel, breaks down a lot, relatively exorbitantly expensive. Maybe covering inventory could be its side task. Especially in open fields against mortar/artillery fire.

[ashen lark]

Why is pz 3 m so underrated too. All of my other tanks have under 1 KD ratio, while with this I am getting close to 2 K/D

[ashen lark]

Tigers were really good at breakdowns, holding positions, but even as tank destroyers, with that 88 gun, and some tanks even having trouble penetrating it from sides

Wondering why there never was sth like tiger 120 with increased armor on all sides to 120 instead of stuff like maus. Imagine breakouts and having to destroy that, especially 1943.

[ornate cedar]

Using tigers in urban environments is very small brain move though

[ashen lark]

Not really, for holding strategic positions, they can be quite good

[barren pewter]

using tanks in european cities with narrow and winding streets is pretty smooth brain

but in american cities, it's ok, still somewhat smoothbrain

[ornate cedar]

One can easily jump on the tank and chuck an frag granade

[ashen lark]

Well, when someone attacks you and you are defending narrow street, it’s even better. You can easily block enemies.

[barren pewter]

open the hatch and drop a few in

[ashen lark]

Sure it’s dumb without any infantry

[wicked latch]

Modern tanks can basically ride through a house while bringing it down along the way without taking any damage from that.

[ashen lark]

You can’t just open it irl lol

[barren pewter]

but, why cause irreparable damage to a city like that?

[ashen lark]

If it is properly closed

[ornate cedar]

Usually the view ports fit

[wicked latch]

Because fuck civilians

[barren pewter]

wtf

<3

[ashen lark]

If you do not get really close to tank it’s hard to just use Granades. If you do, that’s mistake of infantry

Although bazukas using HEAT were quite effective

[ornate cedar]

Facism docorine was fuck anyone that is not pure blood aryn that we decided to be the best race. But please ignore we used jewish people in the propaganda instead without realising

[ashen lark]

Some IS tanks having electronically controlled machine gun sounds quite good for commander. Can have closed hatch so not risk life and still defend against enemy infantry

[barren pewter]

well then
