For uni

[feral ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/disperse-lesley-nielsen-explosion-gif-13010485

Cmon lads don't burn down the server

[bleak pike]

Ended up just using an ipad

It's literally judt the fact I simply don't like windows on a tablet

And another reason is the amount you spend

For basic specs

You can spend not much for a very very very good ipad

[small comet]

[bleak pike]

You don't need an ipad pro

My ipad cost me £250

[small comet]

the fact that surfaces only come with i3, i5 and i7

of newest gen

what specs

how much wam u need?

[bleak pike]

And it's still going after 4 years

[small comet]

i have surface pros customers had for 5years+ they still happy

i mean one of them drove a truck over it

and bend the shit out of the case and screen

but replacing both and it still runs

[bleak pike]

[feral ferry]

They come with 1165g7?

[bleak pike]

Fucking bargain

[small comet]

is 11th gen out?

[feral ferry]

A long time ago

[small comet]

"long time ago"

inb 5 months or so

[feral ferry]

Like half a year already

Which is plenty

[supple wraith]

Mhm i feel like the key point about apple is its ecosystem that ties you down since you, your friend, and your friend’s friend uses it too so it is like a universal thing. They can slowly enhance their products’ specs while they had successfully established a popular ecosystem

[small comet]

march 30th my dude

thats like a month

[feral ferry]

What

Are you talking about

I mean the mobile CPUs

[small comet]

https://discordjs.moe/8kbubg6kw4c8.png

[feral ferry]

Not those

Tiger Lake

[supple wraith]

Oh intel releases their 11th gen ?

Is it 7nm processors ?

[feral ferry]

Tiger Lake's been released for a while

I got one

It's sick

[bleak pike]

Or I can just spend £329 or find it elsewhere cheaper like i did

For an ipad

[small comet]

i know they def came with 10th gen

[bleak pike]

That also supposes the pencil

[small comet]

lemme check portal with spec sheets real quick

[feral ferry]

Ice Lake is 10th gen mobile, 11th gen is Tiger Lake

And Tiger Lake SLAPS

[bleak pike]

Anything but ipads I hate from apple

I still think the ipad pro is overpriced too

[small comet]

still 10th gen

[feral ferry]

Would still rather have a 2in1 convertible PC

[supple wraith]

Since we have an apple/windows war going on :)) lets create an intel/AMD one

[bleak pike]

Idk why

[small comet]

but i dont see the spec argument with surface tablets

they all come with decently new procs

[bleak pike]

A tablet is a tablet

[feral ferry]

Tbh Intel already lost that one

[small comet]

theres no specs to check

[bleak pike]

Because its £780

Vs £350 Tony

I don't want a full on computer

I want a tablet

[feral ferry]

Like I really like what they are trying to do, but AMD just outdoes Intel every generation

[bleak pike]

A god damn tablet

[small comet]

a tablet is also a computer

[bleak pike]

No

[feral ferry]

Unless Intel steps up their game with their new CEO, AMD's been dictating the pace of the game

[small comet]

yes

[bleak pike]

Yes but no

[small comet]

Jo

[supple wraith]

Wait what really ? The last time i updated info i knew that intel was several months behind AMD..and they are using like 14nm processors compared to AMd’s 7nm

[feral ferry]

Jo Mama

[feral ferry]

Intel's on 10nm rn bud

[bleak pike]

An ipad runs incredibly well for such a small price tag, does pretty much everything you need from a tablet

[supple wraith]

And that AMD outcompetes intel given price and stuffs

[feral ferry]

And has been for a while

[small comet]

and is locked to the apple ecosystem

so the price difference is u selling ur soul

[bleak pike]

It's the only device I have from apple

And j don't feel locked

[feral ferry]

And the dongle you fuck

[supple wraith]

You are locked man...accept the reality

Just like me

[bleak pike]

But I have an android phone

[feral ferry]

Is apple even jailbreakable

[bleak pike]

Windows pc

How am I locked

[feral ferry]

Can you run Windows on a macbook?

[bleak pike]

So confused

Yes and yes

[small comet]

gl moving from one tablet to the next without itunes or an apple account

[bleak pike]

Irs not hard

[supple wraith]

I heard m1 macs can run windows pretty decently compared to surface counterparts

[feral ferry]

So I can run Windows on the M1 edition of the macshit?

[supple wraith]

Dunno about the new ones that are just out lol

[bleak pike]

What exactly am I going to move from one tablet to another

[small comet]

apps

[feral ferry]

Wait they just released a new gen of macbooks?

[small comet]

data

idk

the computer shit

ur tablet has

[supple wraith]

No the new surface lol

[feral ferry]

Ah

I was hoping for the next iteration of the M1

[bleak pike]

But

You can do thst with Google

[supple wraith]

The next macs that are gonna be out is the M1X or M2 whatever macs

[small comet]

i thought u had an ipad

[feral ferry]

Yeah I'm waiting for those

[supple wraith]

Which will be...mhm..later this gear

[bleak pike]

Yes

[feral ferry]

M1 for some reason is really good

[supple wraith]

Year*

[small comet]

so hows google gonna move ur data

[bleak pike]

Ipad allows you to backup shit to Google

[small comet]

ur pictures or what

gg

u can move those without google

[feral ferry]

For the most part I don't comprehend why the M1 has so much perf packed into it, and doesn't even need cooling or something

[bleak pike]

So fucking stupid

[supple wraith]

Lol as much as i hate to admit, i really like the performance/ temp of m1 processors, but i heard about how it chomps on your SSD soooooo

[bleak pike]

Guess om the only person on the planet who doesn't backup apps when I grt a new phone

I just re install

[small comet]

https://discordjs.moe/e41k1phrieft.png

literally all that it backups

[feral ferry]

Man the M1 I guess is one of those Arm miracle chips

[small comet]

is shit u can get without google drive

what about reinstalling apps

[feral ferry]

x64 better do better than Arm man

[small comet]

ull need that shitty apple account again

[bleak pike]

Omfg

Tony I hate you

Sometimes

XD

[small comet]

ya cause u know im right

[feral ferry]

Tony I dig you, fighting against the current

keep up the good fight lad

[supple wraith]

Sooo :))) on the consumer product aspect, intel is lacking behind AMD...and intel also is starting to get left behind by ARM ?

[bleak pike]

No you're just picking at stupidly small things

[small comet]

because they are stupid

[feral ferry]

Basically yeah

[bleak pike]

Are you going to tell me you don't have a Google account

And you don't use the play store

[small comet]

im moving away yes

[bleak pike]

Moving away

[small comet]

i dont use the playstore since years

[bleak pike]

[feral ferry]

ARM still isn't that good in single threaded iirc, it only fucks everything in multithreaded, but we are getting there where Arm just dominates

[small comet]

and google will only be for datahording in the future

no phone stuff

[bleak pike]

Right so basically your opinion is tinfoil

[small comet]

no

i want my device

[supple wraith]

Hot damn....so if X86 is replaced by ARM new platform then intel will really be eating dirt

[feral ferry]

Like, it's about time where x64 gets a complete rewrite

[bleak pike]

Eh well I just think your cherry picking stupid shit

[feral ferry]

Like it did 20 years ago

[small comet]

and apparently phones dont let u unlock ur bootloader without factory resetting either cause "it could be harmful to you" and its the same bs

android is bs for exactly that

[bleak pike]

❤️

[small comet]

why does my phone get factory reset

for an unlock

THAT I WANT

[bleak pike]

Just got a Nokia

Like tino

[small comet]

i have ordered a motorola razr v3 (old non touch flipphone)

and ill use that shit like theres no tomorrow

running all my java applet games on it

[feral ferry]

The thing I am worried about, is how much of x86-64 they can improve without fucking the backwards compatibility. x64 can still use x86 apps

[supple wraith]

Lmao not gonna lie, i like it when big companies are threatened, it makes them step up their games and we as the consumers benefit

[feral ferry]

But yeah they need to rewrite that microarch to compete with arm better

Arm's just really good at multithreading

x86-64, not that much

[small comet]

also dont like how theres drm on games

and 500million stores

[feral ferry]

But hey, apparently Zen 4 will introduce quad channel multithreading

[small comet]

for fragmented game libraries

just let me download games drm free

[feral ferry]

So I fucking hope they bring the fight to Apple

[small comet]

or give me a key for offline activation or smth

[feral ferry]

Intel's just messing around with low power chips for time being

Alder Lake to me sounds like a mobile chip

Not a desktop powerhouse

[small comet]

also

how has this become #🔌│tech

[feral ferry]

Just rename the channels and make this the new tech

[bleak pike]

Cos this is all a game

[feral ferry]

No game no life if you know what I mean

[small comet]

the way big corps toy with us its a game to them

[bleak pike]

Enjoyed that

Ngl

[supple wraith]

Ohhh is it a referenceeee

[bleak pike]

Film not so much

[feral ferry]

You can clearly see that with how corrupt Pleasant is

[small comet]

idk i just start to see everything in a new light so to say

[feral ferry]

Issa brain experiment, animal research

[bleak pike]

More that I've come to accept the reality that we can't do jack shit.

[small comet]

i just question it more and more

why we dont own what we pay for

and why apple and other big corps like sony etc go against right to repair

[bleak pike]

For things to be convenient and work

[small comet]

just cause u could infringe on their "copyright" for buying a battery

[bleak pike]

It comes at a cost

This is reality now

[small comet]

windows is free

i dont see ur point

[feral ferry]

KMS says hello

[bleak pike]

Not sure why you are on about Windows

[supple wraith]

So you have to depend solely on them for such services, which they can milk money from you

[bleak pike]

I meant in general

[small comet]

windows is convenient

and works for me

[feral ferry]

Oh actually

[small comet]

havent paid for a key

ever

[feral ferry]

One thing good about MacOS

[bleak pike]

So is ipad

Wot

[feral ferry]

I will defend MacOS for once

MacOS has no DRM

[small comet]

ipad isnt free u dingus

[feral ferry]

So games are basically free on MacOS

[bleak pike]

Windows isn't

[feral ferry]

So yeah go MacOS!

[small comet]

all the apple os is paid with the purchase of the device

[bleak pike]

Gl getting windows for free on a new machine

[feral ferry]

No drm good shit

[bleak pike]

Without shady shit

[small comet]

install dont activate done

no shady shit needed

[bleak pike]

Haha no

[small comet]

yes

[bleak pike]

It'll ask for a key after 14 days

[small comet]

and u dont need to give it one

[bleak pike]

You'll be limited

[feral ferry]

It actually doesn't really pester you at all

[small comet]

u are from day one "limited"

[bleak pike]

You're limited

And

Have a tramp stamp

[small comet]

u mean limited as in

[bleak pike]

Settings

[small comet]

if u want a background u right click the picture and say "set as background"

or just regedit the lock away

[feral ferry]

Well you can't access the group policy at all without the Pro license

Which is really useful for tinkering

[small comet]

thats a pro only thing to begin with

[bleak pike]

Why tf are we even talking about OS

[small comet]

and u can still regedit it

[bleak pike]

I'm on ahout in general, convenience comes at a cost

Services we use everyday

[feral ferry]

So, Windows has everything, convenience and services

[small comet]

air is free

[feral ferry]

Soon corporations will monetize even that

[small comet]

i mean

technically it already does

at least here in germany

if u own a car

u pay fees for air stuff

basically paying for air

[feral ferry]

Tbh if you do own a car, you should pay environmental tax

[bleak pike]

But it comes at a cost

[feral ferry]

Unless you go electric

I fully support go green

[bleak pike]

Even if you don't pay for a key

You're still paying for it

[feral ferry]

KMS says hi, once again

[small comet]

inb4 basic usage statistics

which are anonymous

oh noe

whatever will i do

[feral ferry]

Execute a command line, and you got Windows

Ez

[bleak pike]

An email account and phone number for apple

Oh noes

[small comet]

psure thats not anonymous

[feral ferry]

Fuck kind of a company needs to know your phone number

[small comet]

its for when they have a data leak

[bleak pike]

One that uses 2fa

[feral ferry]

I ain't going to give my phone number blindly

[small comet]

so u can get called

by nice indian guys

[feral ferry]

Google authenticator?

[small comet]

from "microsoft support"

[feral ferry]

2FA at its finest

[small comet]

authy

[feral ferry]

Don't need to give your number to anyone

[small comet]

my go to

mainly cause authy has a desktop app

[feral ferry]

Eh I haven't went above google authenticator

[bleak pike]

Doesn't w10

Literally collect data

To serve ads

[feral ferry]

No ads here chief

[small comet]

same

havent tweaked anything related to settings after initial OOB

[feral ferry]

Windows isn't MiUI

[small comet]

aka the setup u have to complete to use windows

windows literally asks u on first boot if u want targeted ads or not

u just say "no bruh im fine"

[feral ferry]

^ basically

Not to mention you can do anything you really want to Windows

Haven't they already done that

They enforced phone numbers to some extent

[small comet]

thats so servers can ban someone

same for 2fa

some servers require it

[orchid prism]

They forced two factor for server admins.

[small comet]

no

only if the server settings are set as such

[orchid prism]

If you'd let me finish..

Server and admins on any partnered server.

[feral ferry]

This stupid setting

[small comet]

also yesnt

normally yes

directly via the api u can technically go around it

[orchid prism]

[feral ferry]

Whatever this is

Man you really wonder what a private company (for now) like Discord does with user data

[small comet]

sowwy

but is realty

[feral ferry]

Tbh I wonder if Wooting also sells user data

Wootility been collecting all those keypresses

[small comet]

callum hbas already confirmed that he sells it

[small comet]

OH NOE

[feral ferry]

That's kinda pedo ngl

Discord been naughty

[small comet]

hate me more daddy cal

[feral ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-steve-carell-homo-gif-9384842

[bleak pike]

cant

had to go to do some wooting stuff

i cant talk about

[small comet]

just sell us the info

[bleak pike]

just sell the meta data

[feral ferry]

I wonder what kind of keypresses wootility records

Prolly all the passwords, porn search keywords

[orchid prism]

It counts how many times you type woot in a day

[feral ferry]

So, if the number is 0, it bricks the keyboard until you type woot at least once?

Makes sense why so many fortniters are having trouble

[keen urchin]

I'd be fine with 2fa, but I will not give out my phone number to some random server for it
Use something sensible, like email?

[small comet]

the problem is that theres enough disposable email services

so email isnt really smth that stops a banned person

nor is ip

[keen urchin]

Or Credit card number for all I care

[small comet]

not everyone has one

[keen urchin]

At least give an option?

[small comet]

i mean theres only really phonenumber, id verification on signup or bankaccount

altho bankaccount also isnt the best option

cause discord also allows under 18yr of age

which also disqualifies id

in some countries

the most likely case sadly is a user having a phonenumber

[keen urchin]

Of all the options, phone number has the least protection, usually none at all

[small comet]

the same as bank account etc

if you know the details for that u can usually also act upon the rest

[orchid prism]

It is the one thing everyone has though - And kind of bothersome to try and circumvent constantly.

[small comet]

and like mentioned if u get a phone company to send a new sim to a scammers address

they can also get a new bankcard or whatever

[orchid prism]

There's no perfect solution.

[small comet]

well biometric identification

sorta

[orchid prism]

Although the Danish approach is probably as good as it gets. 2FA app with cardboard one time use as a backup.

Can't Sim card it. You need the physical phone and unlocked.

[keen urchin]

The perfect solution is to provide multiple options...

[small comet]

so like esim

a fixed simcard in the phone

[small comet]

no

[orchid prism]

It's basically tied to your social security number.

[small comet]

thats providing multiple imperfect options

[orchid prism]

Every time you log into something by the state or banks. It's like the Blizzard/Steam style authenticator.

It is however not bulletproof. There's a very difficult scam where they get you to log into a fake site, they nap your one time token and then quickly get the state to send you a new cardboard token.

And then they camp your mailbox.

[small comet]

so like most alternatives it has flaws

[orchid prism]

Sure.

But it's the most solid approach I know of.

[small comet]

the only perfect solution would be

all at once

state all the secret infos

visual check for appearance

and dna testing

and only if all match u can log in

[orchid prism]

That'd get old fast without tokens - And those are a vulnerability in of themselves 😄

[small comet]

no like

in person

drive to discord hq

do that

they give u a onetime usb token

then u can login

for 24hrs

then u need to redo

if u can scam that

[orchid prism]

[small comet]

u might aswell be the person ure impersonating

[barren pewter]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CDPR is finally addressing my issue with cyberpunk

more interesting side quests

[orchid prism]

They still haven't fixed robots dropping inaccessible loot though.

[barren pewter]

never had that issue

I just haven't had any technical issues with cyberpunk

[trail dove]

me neither but I alsl haven't played it so that is probably the explanation

[barren pewter]

I've got 65 hours in it so far

only one minor bug that a quickload fixed

[unborn spruce]

Same.

120~ hours in and I’ve seen a whole 2 glitches. And a couple bugs.

Had a glitch where I got stuck in the floor, and another where I couldn’t shoot any weapons. Minor lighting bugs and some stupidity with some AI.

Otherwise it runs flawlessly.

[barren pewter]

I had the can't shoot weapons glitch during the rescue mission in act one

other than that, nadda

[orchid prism]

Then you haven't looked very hard. Robots drop white quality loot that you can't access.

Has been like this since before release.

[barren pewter]

no

usually I can pick up loot they drop

but it's always legendary item components

¯_(ツ)_/¯

obligate 5D chess with multiverse time travel comment

[fading spade]

:P

I dont understand how they wrote AI for that game

its hard enough for normal chess with one board

[unborn spruce]

Lmfao

The AI is probably one of the most impressive things about that game.

[fading spade]

yeah, for sure

I do love the animations also

[unborn spruce]

Now imagine making a deep learning algorithm for it.

[barren pewter]

christ

[unborn spruce]

It’s maybe doable with Q learning...?

[barren pewter]

that would be the most powerful being ever

[fading spade]

This process is completely safe

Usually

i see a little silhouette of a cube

[keen urchin]

I didn't have issues picking up their loot either

[orchid prism]

I've had this issues since before release, it's in almost every video pointing out bugs and has been admitted by CDPR.

I don't know what to tell yous.

White loot dropped from robots doesn't give you any kind of prompt to pick it up..

Anything from the taxi HQ drones to full on combat mechs. Unless it's better loot than common? then you're not getting it.

Spoopy

[keen urchin]

I watched someone stream this game the other day

And I just don't understand

Do you need to know the other parts to understand anything in this game?

The story has so many massive plot holes and it just makes no sense

[feral ferry]

RE7?

The story of that game is fairly straight forward

Tbh most RE games have been well crafted

Ignoring 5 & 6

[keen urchin]

Well, it explained nothing really

[feral ferry]

What exactly was wrong with it?

[keen urchin]

Iunno, everything, starting with... rotting corpses and maggots everywhere and no flies buzzing around? And how come no one seems to be affected by the toxic gases released?

And that mold girl? Where does she get the energy required to do whatever she does?

And so on

[feral ferry]

And how come no one seems to be affected by the toxic gases released? - Cause, mold?

And Eveline, I mean, you are asking about her "energy" when zombies exist so, why even contemplate that logic

She's a psychic, that's part of the E type

A controllable, intelligent bioweapon that works by psychically manipulating others

That's what Connections wanted her to be

E-001 was just a bit flawed

[keen urchin]

It also does not seem to affect people who only hallucinate?

[feral ferry]

What toxic gas are you exactly talking about

And yes, it does

But Ethan and Mia are actually infected

[keen urchin]

The gases released by rotting corpses?

[feral ferry]

Tbh they really wouldn't do much to him, look at the Baker family

Tanking hits due to the mold infection

Ethan also had that strain, so it likely repaired some of the damage done to his internal body

But he wasn't in the field long enough to develop full self healing properties

Before blue umbrella raided the Baker ranch

[keen urchin]

Nothing of this is explained in the game

[feral ferry]

It is though, during various parts of the game

That or just, read the wiki

[keen urchin]

Nah, I can't be arsed

The story is pretty weak to begin with

[fading spade]

wtf is he rambling about?

doesn't doubt that it exists but wants to know why it isn't a thing

uh, whut

then follows it up with anything and everything exists somewhere

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[unborn spruce]

sigh

"Why isn't this a thing"
"It exists"
"Yeah, but why isn't it a thing"

...

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-double-crowd-funny-omg-gif-16929018

[ripe tendon]

unless they want to say a "thing" implying marketed and mass produced instead of like a DIY project

in which case it's also a "thing"

[unborn spruce]

Razer makes these now.

It's a thing.

[ripe tendon]

right

CM does too? I think

[unborn spruce]

Probably.

"We should make going to the moon a thing"
"That happened, very important"
"Yeah, but it's not a thing"

._.

Logic is stupid.

[ripe tendon]

there was just a lot of questionable things said in that clip

[ornate cedar]

My english teacher would mald if he would see the amount of times "thing" was used

[ripe tendon]

Because of the actual word thing or because of the "quotes"?

[ornate cedar]

The word itself would irk him. Its understandable, tbh. Most often it only leads to confusion to what it even refers to and spending the 5 seconds to replace it with a more suitable specifier. Furthermore it also leads to writing that makes the reading less monotone.

[ripe tendon]

I mean I'd never use "thing" in actual writing. That's a guaranteed way to get a bunch of points taken removed. Usually when I use it in a sentence it's because the actual word escapes me

But I do know people use it in writing so, yeah, understandable to be irked by that

I've put too much time into it to stop now

at least I haven't spent any money on it

[fading spade]

[orchid prism]

Not trying hard enough.

https://youtu.be/1UzTf0Qo37A

[fading spade]

seen it :P

[orchid prism]

S M O L

[fading spade]

much

[barren pewter]

wait as compression tech gets better and better

and eventually we'll be able to compress cyberpunk enough to fit on an 8gb usb flash drive

[fading spade]

that would be fun times

[barren pewter]

:)

I'm gonna go all old man in fifty years, dust off the old RTX 3070, and boot up cyberpunk for the grandkids

[fading spade]

xd

[barren pewter]

and they'll be like "grandpa, this game looks like shit"

[fading spade]

yeah LOL

[barren pewter]

bruh, this was state of the mother----ing art...50 years ago

:(

[fading spade]

is it though? IMO, cyberpunk doesnt look that great compared to how badly it runs on hardware

[barren pewter]

yeah

[fading spade]

well, I had it mostly on medium / low and barely got above 50FPS

[barren pewter]

I had it on maxed settings, RT psycho settings and DLSS quality

hitting 80fps

wasn't really that good looking tbh

it was on par with metro exodus

great lighting, spotty texture quality

I hope some of the updates to cyberpunk are visual as well

higher quality textures would be quite awesome

[fading spade]

id have to get a better GPU to enjoy the game fully

cause 40-50FPS on low / medium settings isnt the best

[barren pewter]

give it five to ten years

an entry level GPU should be able to do 60fps on high-ultra at least by then

[fading spade]

I want to get AMD card next

[barren pewter]

AMD for linux

and NVidia for windows and RT?

[fading spade]

Nvidia is mostly fine on Linux now
Except if you like gaming and Plasma desktop

nvidia works fine on every other desktop

[barren pewter]

Except if you like gaming

...

everyone does

[fading spade]

I mean (gaming and plasma desktop)

not both seperately

[barren pewter]

oh

so it just clashes in that specific way

[fading spade]

seems so

in my case anyway, happened on my last computer too

[feral ferry]

@barren pewter

[fading spade]

OOOOOO THERE IS RAY TRACING FOR PORTAL 2

[small comet]

why does everything need RT now

i dont get it

[fading spade]

Portal 2 looks damn good without it :D

even though its 11 years old

thats insane wow

[small comet]

i mean

they stuck to simple shapes

instead of anime characters as mc

[fading spade]

Dang, they are locked behind patreon

[fading spade]

the charcaters are 3d models

[small comet]

yes but simple shapes

theres not much detail to lose to begin with

its only cubes, spheres, cylinders and oblong spheroids

u never really see chell herself

[fading spade]

omfh, hearing Portal 2 in French is so trippy to me

[barren pewter]

hm

now I must appease my curiosity

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/RseqbIT6uEI

[barren pewter]

time to start up portal 2

again

[fading spade]

LOL

I need to reboot into Linux to play portal 2

cause I installed it there

[small comet]

unsure if these graphics mod would hold up against the test of time

[feral ferry]

Am I the only one that thinks the visuals are nothing impressive

And the gameplay presentation at times visibly dips into bad framerates

So, making this quite a disappointing "graphical improvement"

OG Portal still got drip

[small comet]

na same on me

dw

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/PENSQNsgPmU

[trail dove]

this video hurt my brain

[fading spade]

yeah same, idk what that mod is or how it works

[small comet]

basically like the nether portals

just within the overworld

[fading spade]

but you can see yourself through them if they face each other

[small comet]

yes

nothing special

[orchid prism]

Yeah - The "Portal" style portals are pretty tame in Minecraft modding. Just VERY resource intensive.

We had them on the Wooting server a while ago. No portals to load, you literally stared into the Nether from the other side, loaded fully.

[small comet]

antichamber is a game that hides the non euclidian portals damn well

and even uses them as gameplay mechanic

[orchid prism]

Oh god yes. Antichamber is so great. It manages to blend it all so beautifully,.'

[small comet]

to this day

i cant tell where the portals are

i just know they are somewhere

also im not sure if non euclidian is the right term

i think stuff like this is actually called euclidian manifold

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMKLeS-Uq_8

this is non euclidian tho

and it also breaks my brain

[fading spade]

wall hacks? I was behind this wall the whole time

[fading spade]

LOL ok then PayDay 2

[barren pewter]

payday 2

lmao

literally exactly what the game is about

that fucking drill

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[fading spade]

:')

Yeahhhh

[barren pewter]

also

running out of ammo

:(

[fading spade]

its got the spawn mechanic for enemies like Left 4 dead 2

just spawn them EVERY FUCKIGN WHERE

[barren pewter]

it's worse on deathwish

word of advice

at the later difficulties

just rush it

for loud

for stealth, take your time

[fading spade]

when I play it with my friends and non of us have played the missions before :') so we need to figure out wtf must be done

[barren pewter]

ooof

[fading spade]

:')

[barren pewter]

I'm gonna be honest, I usually play with a more experienced friend

I just happen to somehow have decent aim

so I do most of the killing, he does most of the objectives

[fading spade]

one of my friends is experienced in the game but he rarely plays it now

too busy playing mostly among us with some girl he likes in the hopes she dates him

But he knows all the missions in the game

[barren pewter]

:(

that's brutal

that happened to a buddy of mine actually

he...broke after a year of it, when he asked, and she said "I already have a BF"

no one would carry a saw in their secondary slot

at least not when solo queuing

maybe with 3 buddies who know what they're doing and all coordinate

for those solo queues I do when bored, I just bring an eagle heavy rifle that I tuned to my liking

stay muted and mute the entire lobby

just play the objective

like playing with bots, but a bit more competent

[fading spade]

you can see your body when you look down in BFV now

[barren pewter]

:(

why is it that the open world shooter of the decade doesn't have that atm?

Postal 4: No Regerts

I do love postal 4 tho

great game

definitely not the best shooter

or the best anything

I just got this special spot in my heart for artistic and comical mockery of the world

aight man

I got a serious bunch of laughs playing postal 4 on monday

[fading spade]

cause it looks so fucking stupid in BFV

[barren pewter]

when someone said one of trump's infamous lines (grab 'em by the....)

as well as the pigeonavirus outbreak

can you see this, locke?

[fading spade]

not at all

[barren pewter]

that moment when you realize there's a bouncing betty in your chocolate cake

[ornate cedar]

Glad enough to make an OS and name it gladly operating system. gladOS in short

[fading spade]

she giving me the side eye

[small comet]

sadly not the side boob

[fading spade]

ffs

[bleak pike]

Talk about messy work

Could have made a less messy time table

[trim rock]

I should try that again

[feral ferry]

What this, roadmap for Star Citizen?

[trim rock]

Wonder if the ship blueprint editor is still frustrating (maybe just me not knowing how to work it)

Like I just want to snap this little piece nicely here and it snaps everyhwere but where I want it until I find the magic pixel

uuurgh

[bleak pike]

I plan to play again when it comes out

[trim rock]

I just want Blender style editor controls

plz

[bleak pike]

I didn't wanna invest yours into an alpha

Xe

[trim rock]

Well I did slowly grind up a couple million creds and then went to the designer and modified a bit and pressed buy and it had an unknown error guess I needed to source the mats as well

[bleak pike]

Also when my ship banished

[trim rock]

I love alphas

[bleak pike]

Vanished

Killed my motivation

[orchid prism]

Calling it now. Scam Citizen will be more of a hype disaster than 2077

[bleak pike]

Got my money back like

[orchid prism]

[trim rock]

Well mine also did, well I flew my starter ship into that giant portal for curiosity and then it was forever lost in space and I was confused as to do what to do now so I just whacked asteroids in that grinder for hours until I could rebuy

[bleak pike]

Mine literally just ugh

Sec

[trim rock]

Either way seemed alright but as is usual of games of that sort interface is pants

[bleak pike]

https://mrpl.me/mf3475b_rfv1.jpg

Mine just turned intis this

XD

And that's all that remained

[feral ferry]

My Steam icon got a cool change

Dunno what caused that, launches normally

[small comet]

looks like either a corrupted thumbstore, no thumbstore or a corrupted search index

[unborn spruce]

Doubting fucked index. The OBS icon is fine. Maybe just Steam.

[small comet]

since search index just like registries can corrupt partially it could still be

[small comet]

https://discordjs.moe/7n5xfuoh7b0l.png

[feral ferry]

Dunno the thing itself works fine

[small comet]

partially corrupted my search index

altho i think i did too good

[feral ferry]

Ah so prolly a new update fucked it or something

[small comet]

ya

just give windows time to rebuild it itself

will just iron out

Another demo, and more shitting on Valve

[small comet]

so valve actively suppresses competition

what

isnt that epics tactic

[feral ferry]

For those who care about CS:GO and marketing talk https://youtu.be/9hBTueJGyyo

[bleak pike]

Fuck ye

A demo

[feral ferry]

A week until release though

This game finna be good

I hope it ain't too horror-ey

Cause I like atmospheric survival environments

I hate horror

[small comet]

18days or so

till new ED dlc

[feral ferry]

Evil Dead?

[small comet]

elite dangerous

[feral ferry]

Ah

[small comet]

the frick is evil dead

[feral ferry]

Cmon Tony you should know that

I'm younger than you and even I know what Evil Dead is

[small comet]

no clue

https://discordjs.moe/s39fuk4o7ay8.png

k apparently some game

never heard of it, the dev or the publisher tbh

[feral ferry]

Not really

It's an old series

That turned to cult classic

There were game attempts but most were unsuccesful

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083907/

[small comet]

psure it didnt turn cult classic world wide

that synopsis reads like a horror movie

[feral ferry]

It's like a horror comedy

That was incredibly influential at that time

[bleak pike]

Never heard of it

[small comet]

callum im younger than you and even i have heard of it

[bleak pike]

K

[orchid prism]

[feral ferry]

You didn't get the joke there bud

[small comet]

if u continue u read

u know i heard of it

today

NEW: following the flop of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt board members are set to receive huge bonuses ranging from $4 to $6 million. Meanwhile, some employees say they got lower bonuses than expected because the board wouldn’t delay the game: https://t.co/VaPeOqNfSx

Here we go again

Employees said their bonuses ranged from $5k to $20k. A CDPR spokesman said the average was ~$34k.A CDPR spokesman told me that they'd allocated $29.8 million for bonuses to 865 employees.

CDPR allocated $28 million for bonuses to 5 board members.

[orchid prism]

Typical CEO Corporate culture. Not really exclusive to CDPR.

[unborn spruce]

Bobby Kotick of Activision got a 30 million dollar bonus when he fired 800 employees in the same year during a record high. :)

Always remember that.

[feral ferry]

Never forgot

Ain't touching nothing Activision ever again after that bullshit

CDPR is also becoming a big question mark rn

[unborn spruce]

I refuse to touch Activision because of self preservation.

Same with EA.

[small comet]

i refuse to sleep with bethesda

[feral ferry]

I also refuse to sleep on Bethesda

Tbh Bethsoft fucked up, but most companies fuck up

They haven't really done anything scummy

Unless I forget something 🤷‍♂️

[small comet]

bethesda or cdpr?

[feral ferry]

Beth

[small comet]

ehhhh

idk about u

[barren pewter]

76

[feral ferry]

Not scummy

[small comet]

but have u seen the premium shit in 76

[feral ferry]

Just a shit game launch

[small comet]

and the promises they broke

[barren pewter]

they fucked up in so many ways in 76

they leaked people's data

[feral ferry]

Yeah but it's just a failure of a game

[barren pewter]

when they were trying to get the canvas bags they promised

[small comet]

HAHA

[feral ferry]

Tbh, isn't that like, part of the U.S national law?

[barren pewter]

that they paid $200 USD for

[small comet]

the bags

fucking good meme that was

[feral ferry]

Like, in U.S legally you are able to request data or something

[barren pewter]

the helmets that were sold through gamestop had mold

and had to be recalled

the nuka dark was fucking disgusting

and wasn't even a rocket shaped bottle

[small comet]

i remember 76 being so bad they handed it out as a free thing when u bought practically anything else in mediamarkt in germany

[barren pewter]

just plastic shell on a regular bottle

[barren pewter]

yeah

free copy with your dualshock

so pissed I paid $80 for it

:(

[feral ferry]

Like none of these things are reallythat bad

[small comet]

bruh i saw people buying another game and getting 76 for free

[feral ferry]

Haven't abused their employees yet

Man Starfield better delivers

[small comet]

or just havent had a leak about it yet

[feral ferry]

I mean Beth fucking up is actually a good thing

Maybe they were finally taught humility

[small comet]

no

def not

[barren pewter]

they got away with it

they're updating 76 to this day

[small comet]

havent even acknowleged their faults iirc

only some marketing lingo for "could have gone better"

[barren pewter]

because people, despite every failure on bethsoft's part

pay for microtransactions

I remember playing around when they released fallout fuck you first

the lobby was only a quarter full

[feral ferry]

Light-wood laminate, light-wood laminate, light-wood laminate!

[barren pewter]

one kid had fuck you first

and he was getting bullied and harassed by 4 guys

[small comet]

finally a reference i get

[barren pewter]

I just sat on a hill with my MG42

watching

this was my $80

:(

[small comet]

i couldnt play it despite it being included in gamepass

[feral ferry]

Someone actually uses YT music

Sick

Fuck snapchat

[small comet]

i mean

for me its a winwin

dont need to pay spotify

can also play some tracks only on yt

and i get adfree on any device

[feral ferry]

You use the vanced one?

[small comet]

also ytred brought me in cause minefield

vanced isnt any device

like tv, workpc, workphone

[feral ferry]

You paid for premium? 😄

[small comet]

yes

like i said winwin

no need for spotify account premium

and i get extra shit

[feral ferry]

Sounds fine

Tbh adblock does what vanced does on PC, and vanced handles all things mobile

[small comet]

adblock doesnt tho

only kind of

[feral ferry]

Well

[small comet]

problem is ads are store on normal vid servers

so u cant out right exclude them

[feral ferry]

I do run triple adblock

[small comet]

i run a pihole and its rather successful

altho tbf it has over 3million rules now

[feral ferry]

Tbh YTbe enhancer does literally have a setting called "skip ads"

So I have no ads at all

[small comet]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

only infuriating thing was

i found out yt music has no desktop client

after i paid

[feral ferry]

YTmusic desktop is YouTube

[fading spade]

yeah, just the website

and cant even disable video playback

[small comet]

doesnt have discord integration

[fading spade]

true

[small comet]

also doesnt have adjustable client settings like seperate audio device etc

so it was better to just make my own app

[barren pewter]

eh already played it

[barren pewter]

it's gonna be eye candy

[small comet]

i dont want eye candy

i want good story

[barren pewter]

good news is that I can transfer all my saves

but it's another 80gb

a whole new version

:(

[fading spade]

nice thighs, would play this game again

bad ending

[feral ferry]

https://www.small-screen.co.uk/alien-isolation-2-video-game-in-the-works-disney/

I’ll be honest, all I want is Helltaker 2.

That game is great. Little fun puzzle game.

[bleak pike]

hasthis aint just me right

https://mrpl.me/Ib4131b_rf29.jpg

its blury af right

[barren pewter]

only problem I see is that you're playing RDRO instead of RDR2

[wheat kraken]

rdro wasn't that bad

also god damn i want a new gpu

[bleak pike]

why is it so blury xD

[fallow bronze]

fxaa?

100% render resulotion?

[small comet]

i know why

must be the worthless 3080

send it to quin

after that itll look sharp

[feral ferry]

Send it to me

I'll repair it

[small comet]

its not broken

its just worthless

[feral ferry]

Yeah I'll "repair" it

Just send it to me

[small comet]

cal is already set on sending it to quin due to discussion in [redacted}

[feral ferry]

Ah yes the super sekrit server

Where Vio does their outrages, apparently

[trim rock]

TAA innit

[barren pewter]

NOICE

I have just created a checkpoint in cyberpunk, less than a second before I died

[ornate cedar]

Noob

[feral ferry]

Oo Minecraft now has its own role color

[barren pewter]

I fixed it

just took me two clicks

[ornate cedar]

"uninstall game"

[barren pewter]

lol

it wasn't that

opened saves, loaded earlier save

but uninstalling a game does only take 2 clicks

I have been having issues in CS-GO as of late

maybe the "uninstall game, you salty dipshit" fix would work?

[ornate cedar]
