Isn't this thing out already

feral ferry
Also
Starfield is HIGHLY likely to be finally fully announced during E3
Trademark has been updated again
Points at 1 year from now release window
barren pewter
and...
it'll suck
not as much as 76
hopefully they got a decent creative team on that
barren pewter
because the entire team for 76 should have been fired
feral ferry
No chance
barren pewter
idk man
feral ferry
The team for 76 got fucked cause of management
barren pewter
bethsoft has a chronic case of releasing shit
feral ferry
enjoyed last 10 years of their game releases (except for 76)
So, say whatever you want
I love this company and I can't wait for the next installment
feral ferry
I'm a bethesda games fan 
barren pewter
I'm still butthurt about 76
it's not a proper fallout game
I hope the next installment is made by obsidian
feral ferry
And I sincerely trust in Bethesda Game Studios NOT to pull a 76 and release a great game
If not, then it's BGS that's the problem
Simple as that
One last chance
barren pewter
a company that actually knows what makes fallout, fallout
feral ferry
Then go play wasteland
barren pewter
nah
feral ferry
Same devs that made FO2 or something
barren pewter
I just play the black isles and obsidian games
barren pewter
black isles made the original fallouts, and obsidian basically is the team from black isles
they'd be my first choice for a new fallout game dev
feral ferry
Aren't all of those teams now under Microsoft's management?
Like a shit ton of actually really good teams are under microsoft now
barren pewter
black isle is gone iirc, bankruptcy
feral ferry
It's hard to actually fully grasp the scope of game studios they have partnerships with
barren pewter
obsidian is a microsoft property now iirc
feral ferry
Microsoft is quickly diminishing the distance between and nearly leaping overhead Sony
In terms of exclusives
I guess all Sony has rn worth noting is Santa Monica and Naughty Dog
feral ferry
Man IMAGINE Kojima gets acquired by Microsoft
feral ferry
When he was doing the partnership with Sony for Death Stranding or something
Microsoft's about to bitchslap Sony so hard
barren pewter
lol
feral ferry
I also kinda want for a partnership between Microsoft and Bandai Namco, which was rumoured
barren pewter
wait till they make fallout an xbox and windows exclusive
:D
any new fallout games
which
feral ferry
Which'd be sick cause Microsoft actually understand consumer needs
barren pewter
isn't really a problem to me
feral ferry
Microsoft = no need for 70$ games, day 0 release on game pass, PC and consoles.
Sony = exclusive games ONLY on consoles for years, ever increasing game prices, shittier console technology
barren pewter
they could just say "hey, our game, we chose the platforms it goes on"
sony does the exact same
it would help bring some people over into the microsoft fold
feral ferry
Tbh Sony's been really out of touch with the market kinda, if they haven't realized the potential of PC market
fringe salmon
im sorry but microsoft/sony has nothing to do with pricing for the console games
that's purely on the publisher/dev
feral ferry
Yeah that's also a lot of blame on Take2
But didn't Sony support that or something?
I swear to god they took a lot of flak for that debacle
fringe salmon
yeah they took a loot of flak because people only saw "oh this ps5 game is 70€? must be sony's fault"
and sony probably didn't even know about the price until listing lmao
I think they take a % cut just like microsoft so, uh, they ain't saying no to getting more
feral ferry
Either this "leak" is the most well engineered thing I have been hearing for months now
Or it's legit
I'm still on the it's fake train but who knows

Oh no... not the legion.
Both Bethesda and Obsidian really don't understand how to make antagonists you want to join.
feral ferry
Pagan Min was an antagonist I wanted to join
orchid prism
I mean... to an extent? Yeah.
Vash was also a great villain. Such a shame he was replaced by... dull guy with cards (That's literally all I remember)
orchid prism
I remember some weird fewer dream with poker chips ... I think.
It's been that long xD
feral ferry
Vaas was fine
orchid prism
But yeah - Pagan is such a more interesting character than the two choices you're given. Because they're both dumb as shit 😄
feral ferry
He's supposed to return in FC6 apparently
Pagan's got a certain charm to him
I mean from the very trailer I really loved his character
orchid prism
He's unapologetically an asshole. And he kind of revels in it.
But he has a reason for everything.
Wish they'd spent half as much energy on the two supporting characters.
Miss "Lets turn Tibet into a Drug Cartel and modernize the country...also lets murder a small innocent girl in cold blood... cause reasons"
Or Mr. "I'm going to marry the Bhudda whether she want to or not. Also I'm like 5 times her age"
feral ferry
Tbh Pagan is like, the only antagonist that has the ability to canonically be alive
All others are dead, no?
orchid prism
I mean there are the voodoo tribe from FC3.
But I doubt they're interesting enough to bring back.
YOU HAVE DA TATAU
feral ferry
Vaas dead, the other guy from FC3 dead, Primal was thousands of years ago, Joseph Seed dies in FC New Dawn, Seed family in general is cracked by the sheriff
Pagan Min, in theory, survives
And he's influential enough to make a return
As some cartel boss that you need to flush out or something Ghost Recon style

Walljump mechanics?
fading spade
nope
orchid prism

I placed a block in creative
cause there was another 2 places recently I had to go into creative mode to fix .-.
how I get to that block?!
I need to use the shulker boxes.... that are facing sideways so I cant open them
ffs, there are 6 people involved in this map and it has shit like thijs wrong with it?!
nope, even with the shulker boxes the right way up, you only get one block height

@unique bane How do I improve button-to-photon delay in games that use some weird ass window mode?

@vital wyvern Jump sprinting gains momentum, you can, in theory, do 5 and 6 block jumps.
It's just few maps really use those mechanics and some others.
fading spade
<@!137952593921048576> Jump sprinting gains momentum, you can, in theory, do 5 a...
On ice you can
fading spade
You can't jump 5 blocks
unborn spruce
You can.
Sprint jumping on a 'staircase' of sorts lets you barely make it.
Dream made a video on it ages ago and a lot of people since them have confirmed it.
fading spade
Oh
Jumping to a half height block
fading spade
Hmm
unborn spruce
In theory the jump length is infinite, but it falls off so quickly that it'd require some absurd minecrafting to make it happen.
Confirmed 8 blocks is doable, but that's the furthest, iirc.

Bungee finally being called out 🙏 https://youtu.be/runoViOIYXw
small comet
dont get it
love how every armor customization system is now called transmog cause wow started it (naming wise)
bleak pike
dont get it
Basically bungie are introducing a system that let's you convert items you've earned into cosmetics, however it's incredibly grind and you're capped to 10 items a season (5 items is a full set, one season is 3-4 months)
Or you can pay money and skip the grind making you rebuy items you've already earned
With no cap
Worst part is we can't go and use this armor like normal
Since it got sunset aka made useless
So we sre literally being charged to use items we already earned
feral ferry
Remember when people thought Bungie buying their way out of Take2 would mean they would make a better game?
It was take2 that they struck a buyout deal with right?
Aand basically nothing really changed ever after
unborn spruce
Bungie was never owned by TakeTwo.
That was Activison.
And to their credit they did make a better game.
Activision was toxic, at least the game actually got content.
But no, Bungie officially has the title of 'Worst QOL update in the history of gaming.'
fringe salmon
that means nothing xD
feral ferry
It potentially means a lot
feral ferry
I'll take any chances I can get for that damn game reveal
fringe salmon
not like thats the only series they publish
unborn spruce
Elden Ring is probably gonna just be another Dark Souls clone, let’s be real.
I hope it’ll be amazing, but I’m not holding hope from what I’ve seen. Already played so many souls likes before.
orchid prism

sounds like the new standard for games nowadays tbh
mobas, valorant, DbD (or at least multiplayer ones it seems)
bleak pike
Ye, it sucks
small comet
ffxiv is my most varoite game that i won't recommend to anyone i know
so i recommend to anyone reading this
cause i dont know yall
unborn spruce
Jesus fuck, I know.
My gf convinced me to buy it, huge mistake.
That was 1000% mistake.
Such a bad game...
unborn spruce
I'd say it's extremely bad in a lot of ways.
unborn spruce
The story is painful as well.
And it's got some of the worst quest design I've ever seen in a videogame ever.
bleak pike
What story 
unborn spruce
Exactly.
And it's made to be such an important part of the game.
It's almost physically painful to sit through.
bleak pike
I didn't wanna read the book you were shown everytime you went to an NPC
feral ferry
We talking about FF XIV here?
unborn spruce
The quest design is utterly atrocious, though.
unborn spruce
Just...
small comet
i like it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
unborn spruce
Who the fuck decided that fetch quests and escort missions were the premier quest design?
What kind of dumbass actually designs an entire campain around two types of annoying quest?
feral ferry
Whoever made assassin's creed
small comet
all mmos
unborn spruce
And then does it 4 more times.
No, dude. No.
Runescape, for example, doesn't build the story on terrible fetch quests.
Very nearly went that route, but not anymore.
You see the transition between terrible and Warden taking over when you play the old ones.
But holy shit quests like Sliske's Endgame are fantastically done.
feral ferry
Ah yeah Jegix or whatever the company that makes RuneScape is supposed to reveal a new game
feral ferry
Have they ever done any game besides RS?
feral ferry
🤷♂️ Guess that's the shortcoming of the genre
unborn spruce
I'll forgive bad design if you mix a good story into it.
small comet
altho i do not mind the first 2
unborn spruce
FFXIV...
small comet
i hate mindless kill quests
small comet
and the story while lengthy is good
bleak pike
I know a lot of people didn't like bdo
unborn spruce
BDO just kinda feels a little jank, tbh.
bleak pike
I've just tried so hard to grt into ff and I simply can't
unborn spruce
Kinda like any Bethesda game ever.
unborn spruce
Not as bad as a Bethesda thing.
small comet
na im with aeon on this
bleak pike
As much as i love trashing on bdo
unborn spruce
But it has that underlying jank.
small comet
i tried getting into bdo but the game is just a boring grindfest
bleak pike
Right
small comet
same for wow
unborn spruce
It really is...
small comet
i do remember trying to go beyong what was it lvl 55?
bleak pike
Ha
bleak pike
Ik you played back in the olde days
When it wasn't easy
Now the game is a complete joke
Ye
Open world pvp
small comet
still prefer ffxiv not really for the combat
bleak pike
Loved it
bleak pike
Spot taken? Nah
Mine now
Spot is mine now! Over my dead body
Ah the memories
People bullying my guild members
I'd go fuck them up
It's why I liked bdo so much
Pvp was incredible
But so unfair
Unfair
small comet
i dont play pvp anyway
bleak pike
It's why j got addicted
bleak pike
Wanted to be better, there was always someone better
But I sold my account for like £400
And got out of thst addiction
Ye the crating system in bdo is incredible
I loved trading etc
small comet
what
bleak pike
It's how I found peace towards the end
unborn spruce
Y'know what I want? Elite Dangerous Odyssey.
bleak pike
And I haven't ween another mmo
unborn spruce
I need that to happen.
small comet
yes
bleak pike
That has a worker system
unborn spruce
Pls, pls just fucking make a good MMO.
bleak pike
Etc
unborn spruce
HOOK IT INTO MY FUCKING VEINS.
unborn spruce
Just infuse walking around an Anaconda into my eyes.
bleak pike
Crimson is the only one I have my eye on right now
small comet
That has a worker system
the worker system is only to distract you from the fact its still just click to get
basically bdo and almost any other mmo is: click, wait, get
in terms of gathering/crafting
bleak pike
Honestly, I really enjoyed the whole manual labour of bdo
Gathering I hated but at the same time I loved it
small comet
i see u havent played ffxiv DoH/DoL
bleak pike
Because I'd actually have to go whale hunting, gathering etc
Idk they just don't feel the same
Tbh
Afaik one of the biggest praises about bdo is its life skills and how vastly better and sipprrior it is
And how its the only pve in the game basically
small comet
just a clone from OSRS the lifeskills
bleak pike
You know
That is also compared to a lot
So ye
But it's improved and modernised for sure
A lot of people deffo brought that up
Cooking was so fun
Making my own ovens and shit
Manually putting ingredients in
Etc
small comet
but what about the actual crafting
imagine having to use ur brain to get a crafted item
the bliss
bleak pike
I mean crafting is done via workers, pre material crafting by you I guess.
Worker system was nice
ripe tendon
Do you still have to make 100 items to progress?
bleak pike
Having to maintain them and either cook your own beer etc ckf them (makes no sense, cook your beer)
Or spend loads
Yesnt
Depends how hands on you wanna be
You can easily outsource a lot of ingredients for dirt cheap
But if you wanna do everything in house it can be a little tedious
small comet
small comet
thats ffxiv
bleak pike
I just saw higher quality if I'm honest 😂
And I was gonna go on about the wheat mechanics
Nothing is original
Its how you do it that makes it difference
small comet
idk never seen an mmo with the crafting mechanics of ffxiv
small comet
1
its the way u craft
not the menus
u need the right equipment
maybe even food/potions to boost u when u do master recipes
and then u need to use the right skills
and their effect while crafting
bleak pike
Isn't it just similar to ugh
small comet
to get HQ items
bleak pike
What's it called
small comet
or even complete it
bleak pike
That really shitty p2w game, the other awful tab tsget one
ArchAge
Like I'm fairly certain that games life skills outclass everything
Swtor has alright crafting mechanics
Fairly certain you played that
small comet
archage has labor
like bdo
and is also a click, wait, get system
like 99%
swtor crafting is also meh
bleak pike
I see nothing but menus on videos I see
small comet
if u click synthesize and wait
ure gonna wait indefinetly
or till the server logs you off cause of maintenance
small comet
the only way to make it click, wait get is to start the craft and use a macro u made urself
if u made it wrong
or its not for the item difficulty u craft
ur gonna lose mats
or not get HQ
crafting has durability which affects how much room u got to use certain skills or not
bleak pike
Literally every video km watching the person has a million menus open
small comet
show them
imma bet just 1 is important
and the rest is completely their preference
bleak pike
Can you send me a good video on it
Half of these are guides and shit
Anyway
Ff is the game I've always wanted to like and love
But just can't :(
small comet
Can you send me a good video on it
ill make one
had to finish a boss in replicant
its a trial synthesis cause i dont wanna lose mats
but basically
u have billions of skills
well more like 20 or so
and in trial synth u figure out a goot chain
and then u make a macro that executes said chain
this gets harder the higher difficulty u have
normal crafting is easily done with 6-10 skills
for advanced 3* recipes in HQ with NQ mats ure looking at 2 or 3 part macros
so 30-45 skills
all depends on:
- Your Craftsmanship
- Your Control
- Your CP
- Crafting difficulty
- Crafting Durability
too much variation in one of them could lead to the macro not producing the desired result
so usually u have a few macros to make urself
and figure out
these also dont work after a few patches due to balance changes and or removed skills/added skills
so next expansions there will be a new crafting meta
and a new gathering meta

then ditch completely when the new one comes out
vicious cycle
he's personally brought at least $500 CAD into EA's pockets over just the few years I've known him
but
it makes him happy
ugh, do I break it to him that he's literally buying the same code and different textures, or do I force a smile every time I see him buy the same game with a different number at the end of the title or a booster pack in a game that pressures players to?
or does he know and not give a shit?

supple wraith
Guys, what do yall suggest for a good pair of headphones that is comfortable for long-term session and provide good sound imaging (like you can hear enemy’s footsteps and pinpoint the direction) thank you guys
supple wraith
<@!444322493281599498> What country are you in?
I live in Texas, the dallas fort worth area to be exact. I have a micro center in 35 min drive distance. Thank you for helping me bro
unborn spruce
Hmm.
supple wraith
Ive never been to micro center tho cuz i hate driving in downtown area but it is the only “electronic” store near me beside bestbuy
unborn spruce
Check out Drop, you might be able to find the Sennheiser 6XX, it's maybe the highest quality pair of headphones money can buy for the price.
A few hundred.
supple wraith
Other than that I can’t go out and try out products 😦
Oh sorry my budget is like $250 around that
unborn spruce
I know.
6XX is about 250 USD if I should be remembering correctly.
Competes with 600+ headphones.
supple wraith
Mhm i heard about open back headphones being better in sound imaging (like you can hear the enmies coming from behind and stuff) is that true
unborn spruce
Kinda sorta.
supple wraith
Yooo thats awesome thank you bro
unborn spruce
Open backs sound wider, it's typically a little easier to 'feel' where the noise is coming from.
unborn spruce
Be warned though, they WILL leak noise like all hell, not useful in noisy areas.
And nah, that's not the thing you're looking for.
supple wraith
Oh i will only use it in my room lol for gaming purpose strictly
unborn spruce
The 6XX pads are very supportive and big.
Feel good to wear.
I have a pair of HD800S.
supple wraith
Aw thank you bro (y)
supple wraith
I was gonna go for a gaming headphones until i went on reddit and people really trash them
supple wraith
Haven't even got em.
Nah man thank you for spending the time to consult me
So i eventually decide i can just get a pair of decent headphones + mic and im set
supple wraith
I also heard about hyperX cloud being an exception, that it is decent enough but I haven’t tried
Antlion ? Got it
unborn spruce
They're alright.
But honestly, nothing in headphones competes with the 6XX in price to performance.
It's not even close.
Go for an Audiotechnica AT2020 USB edition.
And a decent arm like a RODE PSA1.
Find on sale or second hand.
And hell, get a windshield for the mic and it'll serve good enough as a pop filter.
Very pog.
Yep.
And you're probably not going to need XLR because you'd require phantom power and an interface anyway.
$125 USD.
Not exactly within budget.
Well of course.
In that case though it makes more sense to go Antlion now and upgrade to an AT2035/Scarlett Solo later.
Instead of a USB based mic in the first place.
supple wraith
Wow ive been looking at antlion, didnt really know modmic was a thing before this
They barely increase the overall weight on your head too
supple wraith
Damn lolol this feels familiar :))) i built a rig and was finding a keyboard, went with big names like razer corsair steelseires, tried out everything and was not satisfied then fell into the mechanical keyboard rabithole lmaoo —> wooting
unborn spruce
When you have the cash upgrade to the AT2035 with a Scarlett Solo.
supple wraith
Now it is like this but with headphones and mic
unborn spruce
Plus the Scarlett line are built like tanks, they never die.
supple wraith
Damn i really need that, my electronics tend to die on me
I don’t eat or drink near them tho but a lot of dusts get into the stuffs and thats the end of it
unborn spruce
Mmm.
But yeah, the 6XX will treat you will if you treat it well.
I had mine for 2 years and a family member has had it for another 1.
Never shown any problems of any kind.
I upgraded to the HD800S because I liked how warm the 6XX was.
But my god it's a good pair of headphones.
It's built on the HD650S, and people have had those for decades.
supple wraith
Oh i heard about sennheiser quality before, i was actually looking at their momentum 3 as noisecancelling headphones but they were kinda heavy for me
unborn spruce
Momentum True Wireless 2 for that.
supple wraith
So hd6xx is like a drop-modded version of the regular HD 6 series right ?

A beefed up version lol
supple wraith
Oh do you recommend using alcohol on the leatherette pads ?
supple wraith
I usually only wipe the sweat after using headphones but apparently ot doesn’t stop the flaking (i know we can only prolong it tho)
unborn spruce
Just treat em well and eventually replace the pads with something nicer.
You'll love em. :D
bleak pike
SUCH A BAD GPU SMH
IM ROCKING MY INTEL UHD 630 YOU COULD NEVER BE ME 😎
Nvm it was this
supple wraith
I replaced my pads with real leather as soon as I could.
Real leather will permanently put a stop to the flaking leatherette pads suffer really nice, but did it get really hot for you ?
unborn spruce
Nah.
supple wraith
Lol living in texas it gets so hot here during the summer
unborn spruce
Fenestrated pads are pretty damn good. Though with that said the HD800S I'm used to are massive cups.
Lots of space, takes ages for them to warm.
supple wraith
We got a brief winterstorm back then :))) i was lowkey enjoying it until the power went out lmfao
unborn spruce
Really though you'll be right. They're big wide sounding cups with some pretty good material, if you upgrade em they'll juggernaut along with little to no issue.
The only problem you're going to run into is driving them. You can push them with your standard motherboard audio, but it's very suboptimal.
A decent amp might cost you a few hundred, but it'll make em sound much nicer.
unborn spruce
Ayy lmao.
supple wraith
Okay chief
supple wraith
They must be like premium audiophile grade headphones
unborn spruce
Yep.
I run them with a tube amp as well.
It's not optimal, but they sound oh so nice.
supple wraith
But if someone like you who have experienced Hd800, would recommend the Hd6xx
unborn spruce
No no no.
None of that.
I got the HD800S because I already loved my 6XX.
They sound warm, and the HD800S sounds more refined and far wider.
If I didn't enjoy warm tones I'd have gone for something more clinical.
supple wraith
Lol looking at their prices i dont think the 2 are comparable...
fallow bronze
thats a pricy headphone
unborn spruce
Remember this one always, Nut, audio is about your taste and nobody elses.
I like my own taste, you probably like something different. No right answers in audio.
You'll fine elitists all over the joint telling you to only go for the highest of the high end and get a tube amp and get first party devices etc etc.
supple wraith
Oh one last question, beside a headphone for gaming i also intend to equip my pc with some speakers...is it true that soundbars always sound worst than typical speakers ?
unborn spruce
Naah.
Lots of great sound bars out there, it's just that they're big and you do kinda need some good room for them.
Also depends on the usage.
supple wraith
Ohh so the stereotype is not correct.
unborn spruce
You'll find that a lot in the audiophile space.
A great example is Dynamics versus Planars.
unborn spruce
Everyone shits all over Dynamics when they've tried Planars, but Planars sound more refined and accurate, Dynamics sound more intimate and muddy.
Just a matter of taste.
supple wraith
Mhm so its like after a certain point, what is left depends on your own taste. Like in audiophile-grade headphones they should all produce quality sounds
unborn spruce
Basically.
Just always go for what you love, fuck everyone else and their opinion.
supple wraith
The HE4xx is planar i suppose. Gosh i hate how they dont have those on display so i can try out @@
unborn spruce
Keep in mind amps will also color the audio.
My tube amp, a Cavalli CTM Hybrid with a Siemens '65 E88CC sounds very warm.
And 'close'.
Intimate.
Had I picked a solid state amp it'd make the sound different.
supple wraith
Oh so amps can also be connected to be used with headphones ? I always thought you only need amps when you design a home theater system
unborn spruce
Nope, you typically drive headphones with amps.
supple wraith
Thank you bro, you just introduce to me another rabbit hole 😦 but since i wanna be smart with my money and make every penny counts, careful researches are required
unborn spruce
Something like this would work for the 6XX white well.
Magni 3+.
Very well known to be good and stable.
Schitt Audio, good company.
What you tend to see is making making a DAC AMP stack.
Common one is a Magni 3+ Modi 3+ combo. But you don't need something like that to start with.
Just do what you love and let the music fly.
supple wraith
And the costs are affordable as well, I don’t have to necessarily break my bank balance with this. A combination of hd6xx and the amps would be awesome
Oh then i dont have to buy and plug any soundcard into my pc’s motherboard right
Since the amp and headphone will process all the sound signals
supple wraith
B450 aorus pro wifi
unborn spruce
Yeah, that'll be fine.
Plug the motherboard into the amp and that into the headphones.
supple wraith
Oh my yes i Like it simple like that
unborn spruce
All you need to start with is a 6XX and Magni 3+, you won't need a Modi if you're plugging directly into the board.
supple wraith
Just use apple dongle
Lol bruh i still have it a while back when Apple sold it together with iphone
Before you had to buy it :))))
supple wraith
Its not lightning to 3.5 ? Wtf apple @@ well so much about reducing ewastes lmaooo
feral ferry
How about you don't get the dong and instead get a dedicated dac
Like the Dacmagic 100
small comet
Its not lightning to 3.5 ? Wtf apple @@ well so much about reducing ewastes lmao...
the new ipads are essentially macbook tablets so they use usb-c
and i fear the next gen iphones will prob also use c
wheat kraken
And th new ipads are literally macbook tablets that run iPadOS
With the introduction of the M1
small comet
mostly cause they copenned the usb-c thunderbolt 3.0 standards
small comet
And th new ipads are literally macbook tablets that run iPadOS
pmuch what i said ya
bleak pike
Don't see an issue with that
small comet
u mean besides that u could be running macos with a tablet mode on it?
but they wont make a tablet mode for macos?
wheat kraken
The only reason why running android sucks is because companies fail to maintain their tablets
Or they make shitty tablets
bleak pike
I just want IPadOS
small comet
ipados=garbage
bleak pike
It's the best experience out of the box for a tablet
small comet
want to install apps? better get an apple account
bleak pike
So?
small comet
want to store ur settings? better get an apple account
bleak pike
It's the same with android
wheat kraken
The problem with iPadOS is... Well... Apple lockdown bullshit
small comet
^
bleak pike
Windows is just ugh
bleak pike
Except ipad os isn't thst bad anymore
small comet
and backup solutions are so well known for windows
small comet
i want to run solidworks on my ipad
ah wait
woops
doesnt exist
how about a thirdparty appstore
without account need
oh damn
also not possible
bleak pike
I don't see the issue with having an account
Lol
I bet you have a Microsoft account
wheat kraken
Welp I want an ad-free youtube. Welp lmao gotta jailbreak it? Oh what is that... You're updated, well you're fucked.
small comet
I bet you have a Microsoft account
for mc yes for nothing else tho
only for the mc cape
wheat kraken
I only have a MS account for MC:D
bleak pike
Welp I want an ad-free youtube. Welp lmao gotta jailbreak it? Oh what is that......
I mean, yes it's not as bad now for android as you can use vancced
bleak pike
But it wasn't always that way
bleak pike
No I mean
I'm saying yes you can do it on android with vancced fair enough
But
It wasn't always that way
Root used to be required
Also
You can block ads without jailbreak
On ios
bleak pike
No
small comet
or yt premium
wheat kraken
Ah yes but does your VPN work fully and truly without flaw.
It's one of those adblocker VPNs
bleak pike
Just like android you can sideload an app
wheat kraken
Only a few at a time isn't it?
bleak pike
No
Most apps have dev certs with them
So that's rarely ever an issue
And you don't use your own account
It can be done directly via safari too
But don't get me wrong, I use jailbreak myself for YouTube tweaks, mostly for audio playback in backgroundm
small comet
the question is
bleak pike
But ugh
small comet
do i need an apple account
small comet
thats not an answer
small comet
so tell me
why do u pay an arm and a leg for a tablet
and then u still are leashed to company
bleak pike
You can't trash an item based off extremely small things
Bitch I use the ipad
And run it
How don't I own it
small comet
idk but owning a device sounds like a big thing
if apple disappears tomorrow
ur ipad is near worthless without account stuff
bleak pike
You can still use the ipad
Lol
Apple dissapearing tomoz
Fuck off
XD
Most retarded argument
Irs like when people say if valve dissappear
Come on Tony
You're better than this
feral ferry
We on that love apple/fuck apple train again?
bleak pike
I fucking hate apple but their ipads are great
feral ferry
Can I join in on the fuck apple side?
small comet
this is a realistic scenario cal... ure fueling apple doing this... and one day they wont exist
u can do whatever u want with an android device or a windows pc
bleak pike
Android sucks ass
feral ferry
No it doesn't
small comet
apple devices are like usual locked down cause "the dumb user" could fuck up
feral ferry
Fuck's wrong with android on anything?
TVs use it, phones use it, tablets use it, some PCs use it
bleak pike
There's a reason the android tablet market is so shit
small comet
see cal this is reality: android for phones and windows for tablets (thanks surface line of tablets)
feral ferry
see cal this is reality: android for phones and windows for tablets (thanks surf...
Imma be real with you chief, I do know a guy who owned a surface, and he despised Microsoft's support
But I guess not the product
But Microsoft specifically
small comet
i dispise their support aswell but the surface is godlike
bleak pike
I'd rather use Linux on a surface
supple wraith
Well the thing with apple, as i see it, is that they are able to create and maintain a somewhat quality ecosystem (like imessages that you can access on either a phone, computer or ipads), it creates an idea and sets up a precedence for how a quality an ecosystem can be. So if apple gradually disappears like Blackberry then i suppose people will just move onto better ecosystem
bleak pike
Fuck windows
wheat kraken
I mean I like my M1 macbook and so does Locke
small comet
I'd rather use Linux on a surface <a:aPES_LulLaugh:718071523013034125>
so do it
wheat kraken
Hey speak of the devil
supple wraith
Like the idea will live on...just in different form
small comet
now run linux on ur ipad
small comet
on a surface linux is kinda nice if u have the typecover
so /shrug
have done it didnt notice a difference
feral ferry
Rather buy a foldable PC with touch support
small comet
mostly cause its x86_64
feral ferry
You meant surface boob o.O
Yeah I kinda meant non-Surface things
bleak pike
Microsoft aren't even close
small comet
Microsoft aren't even close
ok let me ask this another way... have u even used a newer microsoft surface?
bleak pike
Fire tablets are something I'll never truly understand
I have used one yes and I'm not denying they are cool to use
small comet
see i setup ipads, ipad pros and surfaces all the time
and id rather sell people surfaces
supple wraith
Lmaoo meanwhile there are people like me who only hear about x86 while not fully aware of how significant and vast it is
