[novel umbra]

even stuff like sounddesign sucked

[orchid prism]

That abandoned christmas urban wasteland is so much more iconic than... overgrown swamp DC?

[barren pewter]

yeah

[orchid prism]

The virus also kind of loses its oompf factor.

You were actively trying to track down the source in the first one.

[barren pewter]

:(

[orchid prism]

In the sequel... isn't the damage already done? Basically Fallout esque

[barren pewter]

and secure resources to fight the infection

[novel umbra]

yea

but it had a sense of mystery

which the second one did not have at all

[barren pewter]

well

it looks like that's one more cool franchise in the bin for good

:|

[novel umbra]

ubisoft franchises all go there

by now at least

[barren pewter]

still crossing my fingers for far cry 6, all it has to be is a decent open world shooter

[fringe salmon]

ok im confused, they make a new game and because the second one was not great it's for the bin? so the only way to save it was to not make a new games?

[novel umbra]

[barren pewter]

with a semi decent protagonist

[novel umbra]

if they make a new f2p game AND release content for the paid one

none of them are gonna end up well

esp since the paid one already is quite bad

[barren pewter]

but the "free" in "free game" usually means "we pumped it so full of microtransactions that it's basically unplayable and truly p2w"

[fringe salmon]

ok so no real reason just worries, got it

[novel umbra]

idk I will provb get far cry 6 just to shit on it

[barren pewter]

probably gonna get far cry 6 as a time waster

good or not

it'll take me at least 30 hours to beat

[novel umbra]

2 is trash, so why would they make content for a game that undersold so much

when they also make a f2p one

ubisoft has introduced more and more p2w shit even in singleplayer games

so I doubt it would benefit from it

[barren pewter]

far cry new dawn....

yes

pay for resources

[novel umbra]

dar cy 6 might end up decent

[barren pewter]

[novel umbra]

but I doubt it

with how the franchise has gone from 4 to 5 to new dawn

[barren pewter]

I'm hoping that's the case

I will say that 5 was OK, DLC was not at all

but new dawn is a complete joke

[novel umbra]

new dawn seems like they tried to make it an MMO

and then just didn't

5 was meh

the health system was shit

[barren pewter]

a return to the FC2 health system would be best tbh

[novel umbra]

eh

3 and 4 system was decent as well

[barren pewter]

I liked watching my character dig a bullet out of his arm every now and then

[novel umbra]

only upgrade 5 made was that healing syringes crafted themselves

[barren pewter]

FC5 was a couple steps forward and also quite a few steps back as well

I really liked the map

the map was honestly the best part

cool embed giphy

[trail dove]

what game is this

[small comet]

elite dangerous

im too dumb for links today

[trail dove]

pog it's vr supported

[orchid prism]

X4 ftw 😄

[small comet]

pls no x games

elite way cooler

especially now that fleet carriers exist

[orchid prism]

Naw mate, naw.

Can't build your own stuff 😄

The instant Elite lets me build my own stations and economy, sure. But as long as I'm an errand boy who can explore unfinished questlines... I'll stick with the superior offshoot.

[small comet]

fleet carriers are practically stations and offer you to set ur own buy/sell prices for mats u want

they offer the exact same services as stations

also arent exactly free with an initial fee of 5billion credits

and then maintaining it

including fuel

upkeep costs etc

altho its pretty cool to have smth that can act as a station for your own kinda group/squad or even nation more or less

plus they can jump up to 500ly if need be

obviously names can be changed of the carriers to reflect whatever lore u make up for yourself

and soon odyssey releases which means leaving space ship

and walking

and shooting

[orchid prism]

I've seen the alpha. Not impressed 😄

But to each their own.

[ornate cedar]

Holy poop, metro enhanced today?

[barren pewter]

ye

at 11AM EST

currently installing it

[ornate cedar]

Ffs. the same day my mouse desides to shit the bed

[orchid prism]

[ornate cedar]

Using some wired cheap oem shit for the meanwhile

[barren pewter]

oooof

[small comet]

i mean i wont say im impressed but imo its okay

and its not like thats the final state forever

like all of ED itll change constantly

[orchid prism]

Also... Carriers don't interact with NPCs at all? So... it's not much of a station 😄

[small comet]

lol npcs

u mean the ships that only land and then launch again

much interaction

[orchid prism]

I mean the ships that you'd expect to trade at your carrier, yes. 😛

[ornate cedar]

Either the sensor has died or some button has gone to stuck mode blocking the movement registration. As all other functionality works

[orchid prism]

I was pointing out their flawed design.

[small comet]

those would be players

[orchid prism]

Naw.

[small comet]

yes

literally

eddb and spanch list player carriers

so ure part of the realtime game economy

[orchid prism]

You misunderstand - I don't want "just players" interacting with my "station".

In fact I always play alone 😛

[small comet]

ur fleetcarrier is visible for online players

same as other carriers

im always soloplay

economy is always online

and realtime

[orchid prism]

And yet I am completely at the whim of having players come visit me in the ass end of the rim to earn for the upkeep for the carrier.

Not my game for sure 😄

[small comet]

xD

thats a shitty example for sure

[orchid prism]

I think it's perfectly apt.

If I decide to fly my carrier somewhere there are no players, only NPC traffic, it's basically useless.

[small comet]

idk how a trading vessel would sustain itself by staying on the rim of the galaxy

ud always jump to core systems to restock

and trade there

and then go back

[fading spade]

AIO@{G HJSEIUOGH S IM SO PISSED OFF .-.
IF A PLAYER KILLS YOU IN GTA ONLINE WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING YOUR P{ERSONAL VEHINCLE YOU LOSE IT
I no logner have my mopterbike .-.

[small comet]

u dont

[orchid prism]

No no. Vehicles are permanent. Just need repairs.

[small comet]

call the insurance

[orchid prism]

Or a cooldown?

[barren pewter]

did you buy insurance?

[small comet]

its free if someone else destroyed it

[fading spade]

I think I did

[small comet]

if u destroy it u pay

if u buy a vehicle it comes with insurance

cant come without

u cant remove it

[orchid prism]

Works just fine in X. I can set up a very remote station in the ass end of the universe, and ships will slowly start to migrate there.

[small comet]

slowly

[barren pewter]

but you can also steal a ride off the streets and get it ensured in the auto shops

[small comet]

in like an hour or so

or what

[fading spade]

soooo what tf I do to get my bike back?

[small comet]

call the insurance company

[barren pewter]

call mors mutral

if they pick up

you can get your bike back

otherwise

;-;

[small comet]

i thought lana played before

[barren pewter]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fading spade]

Yes, but this is my first time owning a vehicle

[barren pewter]

this is what happens when you get obsessed with destroying cars

you forget that you can have a few as well

ngl, when I started playing GTA online, I didn't know I could buy a vehicle, or knew how insurance worked

[fading spade]

destorying them? xd I just stole one when I needed to drive anywhere

[barren pewter]

for the first three months

:|

literally had 27 personal vehicles blown up and never recovered

[fading spade]

this garage hurts my eyes... so dang bright

ayyyy, it worked :D its back

[fringe salmon]

man... they even put all that shit in the tutorial you know?

[barren pewter]

just because I never bothered to insure what I stole off the streets

[barren pewter]

well yes

but I'm quite stupid

[fading spade]

same though

[fringe salmon]

idk play tutorials twice then I guess

[barren pewter]

or...

just go into the world, with no knowledge

and hopefully gather enough to survive hour one

[fringe salmon]

don't get pissed at stuff that is quite extensively covered in it then

[barren pewter]

I don't get pissed

I just struggle through it

[small comet]

just pooped

[barren pewter]

and then hate myself when I figure out a better way

[barren pewter]

nice

was it clean?

[small comet]

i meant u

u dont get pissed u said

[barren pewter]

well yes, but actually no

the only target of my hate is always myself

does that count?

[small comet]

yes

i know that feel

[feral ferry]

https://archive.is/x46lz

Hmmm

I like the sound of this

[fringe salmon]

didn't know you're a playstation owner

[feral ferry]

https://archive.is/1ckfH

Very likely Tencent will be allowed to stay, sadly

[fringe salmon]

why should they not be allowed?

[feral ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/china-flag-gif-10833226

[fringe salmon]

just because the headline says they are chinese-owned doesn't make it true in the case of epic btw

[feral ferry]

I'd say any kind of Chinese investments into western industries is potentially dangerous

[fringe salmon]

ok so get the western investors invested and don't punish others for being ahead of the curve when they play fair game

the reason tencent is so big is because they have some of the best investors, you could easily copy their portfolio and have one of the best growing stocks

[keen urchin]

Just tuned in to some stream of RE8, and my god

The excessive use of CA in some scenes made me nauseous

[fading spade]

it seems one of the car websites in the game has a new free car every so often

[young hill]

If you sort by price you can find the free cars at the top.

[fading spade]

yeh, thats how I found this out :')

[young hill]

Ah okay, best way to get free car is the casino though.

[fading spade]

huh?

[fringe salmon]

daily spin on the wheel with chance to get a free car

not worth it though, trash car and the money prices are worth more tbh

[fading spade]

ooh

[young hill]

Well not a trash car all the time, and yes resale is free but only because greedy need to make 🤑 rockstar

[fading spade]

the car i got free is here :')

[young hill]

Oh the skyline

[fading spade]

IM A MORON :') its the same as the one I already have

haha

it doesnt have a spoiler though

[young hill]

Are you able to play Sunday?

[small comet]

why does it kinda look like a benefactor

[fading spade]

its the Elegy RH8

[small comet]

also sad its not a sultan rs

best car

especially after a bennys job

the motor just purs

[fading spade]

oo

[fringe salmon]

no faggio best car

[fading spade]

can you sell a car you get for free?

[barren pewter]

that's a scooter

[fading spade]

^

[barren pewter]

and no

Faggio Mod best car

[fringe salmon]

ever seen a faggio dragged behind someone in motorclub formation so it's max speed?

[barren pewter]

yes

I was usually the guy on the faggio

:D

[fringe salmon]

it got 80 mirrors for all 80 speed violations you break at the same time

[barren pewter]

yep

:)

[small comet]

ever saw a faggio get run over by a tank?

[fringe salmon]

no because I blow up the tank before that happens

[fading spade]

who? what?

[young hill]

Benny is a cool dude with tattoos that makes your cars old-school

Basically a old-school Los Santos customs

But prices are high of course I think it is usually around 1,000,000 to convert a car for modifications

[fading spade]

O.o

I assume the sides option is the underglow? :') cause its showing under the car and not actually on the sides

[young hill]

Oh you can buy that in los Santos customs make sure you select all sides

[fading spade]

oh, front back and sides option

[small comet]

literally tells u

that its neon

only sides

no front or back

[fading spade]

yeh yeh

I got it

[young hill]

Do not forget the crack

[small comet]

damn

[fading spade]

or the

yeh xd

[small comet]

neon in ur crack

sounds lit

[fading spade]

Indeed

hmmm what color?

[young hill]

Pink... or if you are going subtle white or black would do

To be honest any color is fine

[fading spade]

Explosives
👀

[small comet]

blue is kinda cool

[young hill]

Also Avanna there is headlight customization, if you ever decide to get a maze bank arena garage.

[small comet]

arent headlights customizeable even without that

[wheat kraken]

not really

[fading spade]

Yeah, I can change mine here

[young hill]

Yes but if you want hot pink

[wheat kraken]

you have xenon and regular

[fading spade]

ooh

right

[young hill]

Or lime green

[wheat kraken]

but maze bank arena gets everything else

[young hill]

Yeah that and you can customize weaponsized cars or Benny's cars directly there.

[fading spade]

Purple

Golden Shower
:') oh

the hotel is abandoned, but at least the pool is nice :P

[fossil solar]

@fading spade did you know that spoilers, neon bars, and front splitters can change the balance of a car to induce more oversteer/understeer

[fading spade]

oh boi

[fossil solar]

Big spoilers drastically shift the centre of mass to the rear to increase the likelihood of oversteer

Big splitters drastically shift the centre of mass to the front to increase the likelihood of understeer

And off-road tires make going over bumps smoother

[orchid prism]

Who would have thought GTA actually tried to simulate physics.

[fossil solar]

There’s a lot of funky things going on in the GTA Physics engine

[orchid prism]

I mean the game has jetpacks and UFOs. Anything is possible 😄

[fringe salmon]

yup, on a handful of cars with the right tires, if you drive half on the walkway so your tires get pushed up, you drive a bit faster etc.

[fossil solar]

That’s on all cars

Well most cars

Kerb boosting is a thing in this game

[fringe salmon]

yeee that was the name

[fossil solar]

The only cars not affected are the open wheelers

[fringe salmon]

but only been a thing since they added these F1 looking cars I thought?

[fossil solar]

Nah it’s been a thing since the game came out

[fringe salmon]

or at least if we talk about significant changes and not theoretical values

been a while but I remember something was there, maybe they were just much bigger gains for them?

[fossil solar]

With the open wheeled cars they added a script to stop those cars from getting boosts when they go over bumps

It’s innate to the physics engine

Some cars were more affected by kerb boosting but if they didn’t have kerb boosting cars would be about 30% slower than they are now

Also stuff like how FPS affects speed

Also stuff like how FPS affects speed

Lots of funky things

[fringe salmon]

well thats just to be expected from a r* console emulator

[fossil solar]

Higher FPS = faster cars

On some cars you can “slam” them and get even more kerb boosts just by driving on the road

You can shoot out the suspensions on the Rapid GT to slam it and it’ll go 140-150 mph on the highway

[bleak pike]

Yes I'm very behind in the game

Couldn't find any saves where I was on the store version

My game is a bit choppy

[unborn spruce]

Aren’t you playing one of the most graphically intense games that has ever been released?

[bleak pike]

BTW that video was none dlss

Something funky going on

[unborn spruce]

How much VRAM does it even need for texture streaming?

[bleak pike]

I'll check in a min

Had to restart

6gb so far

[unborn spruce]

Huh.

Not bad.

[ornate cedar]

Metro exodus has a weird gravity/falling behaviour. 😏 . Running downhill or running a rocky area is where it can be most commenly. Recommend to hold of on the sprint button mostly

[bleak pike]

Ye so ultra Ray tracing doesn't work well

High Ray trace ultra graphics, dlss balanced

1440p

Cant use the wooting on metro exodus

and it works so damn well

[bleak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/brooklyn99-noice-jake-peralta-andy-samberg-nice-gif-14234819

[barren pewter]

👌

it wouldn't be a proper metro experience without a crash or two

[feral ferry]

@barren pewter 4A games really inherited that S.T.A.L.K.E.R experience

[willow quiver]

guys i feel sad bcz nobody wants to play w me or talk to me

i get very little social interaction that it makes me feel really down, anyone else?

[small comet]

play an mmo

[feral ferry]

Not even a bolt

[orchid prism]

And now Valve are in hot water.

[ripe tendon]

womp womp Valve

[ripe tendon]

tried any places to meet up with other players? I used to use GamerPals on reddit (though I imagine it's kinda meh now but maybe not)

[barren pewter]

they did

and thank god for that

[maiden nexus]

does anyone here play rocket league with an analog keyboard? does it make a big difference to a normal keyboard and would you recommend it? i'm thinking about buying an analog keyboard because i'm just not able to play anything with controller haha

[small comet]

idk about the advantages but the learning curve will be as steep or steeper than a regular controller

due to holding keys at specific depths instead of just holding a rather long stick in a certain position

[maiden nexus]

so the muscle memory doesn't really translate? i thought it would be more like playing keyboard as before with the possibility to do some finer adjustments while in the air or while dribbling

[small comet]

u wont just be driving smooth curves like controller people

ure working in like a 2mm region for analog

while controllers have a circle of like 1 or 2cm

id guesstimate

so the adjustements are def finer and more controlled on a controller

[maiden nexus]

ok, thaks for the help ^^ i'll think about it

[small comet]

altho if u get an he ud have 4mm

still rather small tho

i mean

i have a wooting and just still use controllers

cause i cant be arsed tbh

[maiden nexus]

best thing would be to try it out i guess,but no one i know has a keyboard like this 😄

i tried switching to controller so often already but it just isnt for me

[small comet]

i mean ull prob stop trying small adjustments then cause theres also a learning curve

just like controller

its sadly not plug and play advantage

[maiden nexus]

yeah, but im willing to practice. maybe im buying one just to have the option and if it doesnt work ill use it normally for the game

[small comet]

u could always just

no one made this mod for a wooting yet tho

[maiden nexus]

haha, sounds good to me 😂

[maiden nexus]

i need it

[unborn spruce]

Huh. That’s actually pretty cool.

[small comet]

will just require even more learning

cause ud constantly regrip

to press keys

[bleak pike]

Does RE8 have denuvo?

[barren pewter]

good start

first time booting up metro exodus enhanced

crashed before main menu

👌

[ornate cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/im-very-excite-borat-sagdiyev-thrilled-happy-excited-gif-16967356

[barren pewter]

ok

launch no. 2

cranked settings to max and DLSS quality at 1080p

and the menu is running at a sluggish framerate

this is gonna be goooooood

[ornate cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/good-evil-star-wars-emporer-palpatine-darkside-gif-4624104

[orchid prism]

[barren pewter]

well

my save files also transfered

so, new game plus time

iron mode and beasting through with nothing but a hellbreath

and I got the NVidia performance overlay open for shits and giggles

wanna see just how much this thing can draw for power, temps while gaming, and fan speed

as well as 99% FPS figures

[barren pewter]

ok

so

[feral ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/lindalisten-okay-okaythenwhat-gif-7588954

[barren pewter]

PC sounding like a jetliner taking off, about a metre from my right ear

That'd be clever, imburse content creators with some cash and motivation while stuffing your own game with extra content

So, a few days ago the full audio of Battlefield leaked

But full reveal is supposedly postponed for later

I don't really get why they'd leak audio (controlled leaking), get people riled up, and when hype's at its highest, just decide to postpone the game reveal

[ripe tendon]

leaked audio? What?

[feral ferry]

Give me a sec

[ripe tendon]

that...builds hype?

man we're thirsty for anything new aren't we

[feral ferry]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/steam-2019-global-sales-numbers-epic-estimates.422489/

Some very surprising numbers here

Like Three Kingdoms earning so much with its borderline lazy DLC

And Warframe being that high up

Also Monster Hunter World is quite weird, but I guess that game's quite good?

Oh shit TW: TK launched in 2019, makes sense why it earned a bit

[keen urchin]

I think Monster Hunter is just expensive, and has a large fan base?

It doesn't seem bad, but I wouldn't call it good either

[feral ferry]

As a game, I heard good things about it

But this is pre-Iceborne or whatever the name of the expansion is

So, I wonder if they do a lot of MTXs

[trim rock]

Yes it was a pretty big hit since first game in that series to be on personal computer and such

[feral ferry]

I'd argue any device with a microprocessor is a personal computer

My switch can run linux, does it count as a personal computer then?

[trim rock]

Fine, IBM PC 100% compatible superextended running Windows from Microsoft

[fading spade]

thanks GTA

[feral ferry]

Starfield leak pulled through Bethesda's CDN before this was deleted

[bleak pike]

Ah

Pointless leaks

Though I'm instantly reminded of destiny in the bottom left

@feral ferry

[feral ferry]

Btw though

These are not pointless

This literally confirms the half a year or even older leaked gameplay screenshots were real

That watch was part of the UI

So, a controlled leak on Bethesda's part

[bleak pike]

Still though

Very destiny

On the bottom left lol

[ornate cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-theory-explaining-gif-13403485

[bleak pike]

I mean

Am I wrong?

[ornate cedar]

For having a vision?

[feral ferry]

I do not see any resemblance here, Destiny fanboy

[orchid prism]

Not all spheres are weird alien death moons. It looks like it's just a multi solar system.

[bleak pike]

Haha I'm not saying anything ba d

If anything I'm admiring it

It has the wow factor

[small comet]

wow doesnt have alien death moons

[orchid prism]

[ornate cedar]

Or does it? * Music plays *

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHVtZsCZ1TA

this is all destiny brings to mind

[ornate cedar]

Im offering to read all the Halo books to be able to unsee this

[bleak pike]

That's great

[timber stone]

@trail viper have you heard of Star citizen?

[trail viper]

No

[timber stone]

Ooooh you're in for a treat

Do you like Microsoft flight sim?

Or fps games, or space games?

[trail viper]

I am not a big fan of space games, But Kerbal Space Program looks like fun.

[unborn spruce]

Star Citizen also has some of the worst DLCs in media history.

How does paying a DLC so expensive it amounts to a down payment for a house so you get one of each ship that can be permanently destroyed sound?

[timber stone]

I mean it's not DLC though

[unborn spruce]

...

Is that supposed to make it better?

[timber stone]

And all the ships pledged for with money all have a form of lifetime insurance

[unborn spruce]

...

Splatter, listen to me.

Spending $27,000 USD on a videogame is not fucking ok...

Nothing about that is vaguely ok.

[timber stone]

Well yeah I agree with that

[unborn spruce]

Nothing you could do to those ships makes it worth that much.

Just... no.

[timber stone]

But I mean the I'm not your dad and you can buy whatever you want

At the same time I'm a Kraken owner so I may not be the most "sane" person here so

[unborn spruce]

I mean shit, how few people that play SC are uber rich enough to actually have that purchase make any kind of sense?

There's also the problem of SC just not being worth spending that kind of money on.

It just doesn't have the content to even offer such an insane purchase price, and it's the zealous players that let it continue. The only benefit of it I see is that CIG is apparently great to work for.

From what I've heard they have all the nice things that need to happen more often. Nice pay, good benefits, medical and the such.

[feral ferry]

How far has SC project even got

Like, it's playable

But how much of it is playable

[unborn spruce]

Almost all of it that exists.

[feral ferry]

Like is there a clear vision for the project and how much of it has been realized?

[unborn spruce]

Fuck knows, dude.

CIG has a very long history of fucking up and underdelivering content with shit all legit info being given.

With that said they do often end up delivering good content, just not enough for the price.

[feral ferry]

Never was particularly interested in those type of games

Hell Starfield will release this year and I'll get my healthy dose of space

[unborn spruce]

Don't get your hopes up.

[feral ferry]

It is very much, 80% chance getting released this year bud

[unborn spruce]

It's a Bethesda game on Creation and that means there's a GOOD chance it'll be...
Bethetic...

[feral ferry]

So

It'll be what I want it to be

Sick

[unborn spruce]

X to doubt.

Not before the modders start their work.

[feral ferry]

Mate I do love creation engine just cause of what it is

[unborn spruce]

Remember, a Bethesda game is only complete when the modders fix it.

The devs sure as fuck never do.

[feral ferry]

Are we getting into the argument of "Does bethesda games suck" again

Well I don't think so and I loved every single release they did until 76 (Didn't play that one)

[unborn spruce]

The answer is inherently yes because the core engine is hot garbage.

The games become fantastic because mods.

[feral ferry]

Well that's true

Still I love the engine

[unborn spruce]

Just... pls no.

Literally upgrade the engine to run correctly.

[feral ferry]

Nah I like my game half broken

[unborn spruce]

I like the way Creation feels, but it's just way too jank and lacks oh so many great features.

[feral ferry]

Makes it more fun

[unborn spruce]

Like good multicore.

And high framerates.

[timber stone]

Damn dude, can we not have fun with our space games?

[feral ferry]

Dunno

[unborn spruce]

It just needs a core swap and it's probably be up there in top 5 best engines.

[feral ferry]

I just like the janky nature of creation engine

I play the game to have fun

[unborn spruce]

Well yeah, but imagine if it was less crash prone, ran faster, and accepted 200FPS.

[feral ferry]

And my fun is throwing people around

Dunno I never got bad FPS even with 200 mods installed

And even then it crashed barely if at all

[unborn spruce]

rolls eyes Creation runs at 60, dude.

[feral ferry]

So, I really don't get your comments lad

It was a playable experience until you really fuck up mod compatibility

Then you'll get crashes

Other than that I got really lucky with how well my PC runs Skyrim

Funny thing, I never got the OG Crysis to launch on my PC

[unborn spruce]

Again, if the core was better Skyrim would just be so much better.

[feral ferry]

It just doesn't want to start

[unborn spruce]

Like, imagine if it could actually use 6 cores.

[feral ferry]

Subjective and not a fact

[unborn spruce]

How much more insane shit could be done?

Imagine if modders could use 6 fucking cores at once.

Do you like the idea of a map revamp with army sized battles?

I do, unfortunately it's buggy as fuck because the engine is unstable.

[feral ferry]

That already exists

[unborn spruce]

And it's extremely janky when you make decently sized modpacks.

[feral ferry]

Not here lad

[unborn spruce]

Then you're not pushing the engine as far as it goes. :P

[feral ferry]

I think just shy of 200 mods is "pushing" it

Major releases as well not the anime girl reskins

[unborn spruce]

A good example of Skyrim being shit tier is that if you actually force it to run at 144Hz which feels fantastic the physics completely fucks out.

That means about 40 high tier mods also fuck out.

Why? Physics and framerate are tied.

[feral ferry]

At this point I think you people are just entitled

I grew up on running skyrim at 20FPS on my AMD A4 APU

[unborn spruce]

Bad design because of Creation, all Bethesda games work that way and they do because they never overhauled Creation for whatever reason.

[feral ferry]

I feel fucking glad to be able to run games at more than 30FPS on Ultra

And not feel entitled that "muh 144Hz doesn't work"

[fringe salmon]

you uh, are aware that a good engine can still allow the jank to be in on purpose but not cause crashes/issues and at the same time allow for other improvements yes?

[feral ferry]

Should it? Of course

[unborn spruce]

Quin knows.

[feral ferry]

Again I have never experienced a vanilla crash ever

I have gotten softlocked ONCE

And that was not reproduceable

[unborn spruce]

Yeah, then you haven't pushed the engine properly.

[fringe salmon]

that's not really the point, you were arguing that upgrading the engine would take away what you think is fun or w/e

[unborn spruce]

^

[feral ferry]

I don't think I was though

[unborn spruce]

But you can upgrade parts without ruining the whole.

[feral ferry]

I just love my engine

[unborn spruce]

Bruh, listen.

Listen closelyer.

Upgrade the engine without changing the feel.

[fringe salmon]

you love the result, which can be achieved on a better engine to be the exact same with better framerate if you so wish

[unborn spruce]

Idk how this is difficult to understand.

An engine doesn't need to be shit in order to feel jank, that makes zero sense.

You can make an engine run multicore really well while feeling jank on purpose.

That's the whole point.

[fringe salmon]

garrys mod as an example, lots of jank and mostly intentional

[unborn spruce]

^

Great example.

[feral ferry]

Still don't really see the need for any of that

Again those things are what you wish to happen

[unborn spruce]

No, because you're not thinking outside the box.

[feral ferry]

My game is great as it is so idgaf

[unborn spruce]

Why not improve?

Not improving leads to stagnation, that leads to the FIFA situation. Who tf wants that?

[feral ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/if-its-not-broken-dont-fix-it-nothing-to-worry-dont-worry-gif-14321139

[fringe salmon]

it is broken though..

[unborn spruce]

If it's not broken, don't improve it?

And more importantly Quin is right, it literally is broken.

[fringe salmon]

and your point was dont fix it because you like that part, when you can fix it and still keep the parts as they are

[feral ferry]

You can't really change the engine and keep the physics exactly as they were

[unborn spruce]

Yes you can, omg.

[feral ferry]

You can upgrade the engine of course

[unborn spruce]

It's not magic, it's code.

[feral ferry]

But not literally change it

[feral ferry]

Yes I think I know that part

[unborn spruce]

Apparently not. ._.

[fringe salmon]

if it's "broken" in any way, it still follows some lines of codes that you can reuse in a non broken way

so yes, you can fix it and keep it exactly the same

Yeah Bethesda's teasing us

Spacecraft creation though? Spicy stuff

16x the spaceship detail

Over 4x the spaceship size, of Star Citizen

[barren pewter]

ok

now I'm interested

[feral ferry]

I wonder how though

Like fallout 4 style?

Just mold it together

Or like building bases in subnautica where everything snaps where it belongs

Space Engineers type building would be insane

[barren pewter]

that's what I expect

I just don't know how physics (if any, it's a bethsoft game after all) will be impacted

[feral ferry]

Well the engine is supposedly much better

We'll see I guess

[ornate cedar]

I remember having to download a mod to make the junk fences snapable to eachother or something. I did enjoy the base building after a ton of mods and a personal vertibird for added function and immersion

[barren pewter]

I personally really loved the blue boxcars, covered the island in the southeast corner of the map with them

and the factories from one of the DLCs

I was making 2mm EC rounds in stupid amounts, and selling water (#Doge=Nestle) to pay for raw materials to make it

[ornate cedar]

The raiding mechanic was trash. Any decent defence covering your main areas would be too much for it to trigger it anymore lmao

[barren pewter]

exactly

I just built 20 of the cheapest turrets

and boom, that mechanic sorted

[ornate cedar]

Or just a robot with a mini-nuke on its back

btw never put them on the robot you intent to travel with. The nukes will always home into your location and death spirals are imminent

[orchid prism]

So do many gaems 😄

Eve, Elite, Freelancer (debatable) and X?

Well EVE isn't dof of course.

Space Engineers? Huehue

Never heard of it.

[ornate cedar]

KSP

[orchid prism]

CPU boiling trying to simulate such a large craft

[bleak pike]

Same!

[unborn spruce]

Bets that nobody learns from Fallout 76?

[ornate cedar]

Cant argue with the 16 times the detail

[fallow bronze]

i just think space engineers :p
and i also remember Clang

ohyeah, i wait for that to be out of early access :p

true. factorio was a very good early access game

[feral ferry]

I am pretty damn confident it won't happen

[fallow bronze]

well..

[feral ferry]

People like factorio?

Like I'd understand if it had content but it really doesn't

You just do the same thing over and over again

Like I love factory building, Satisfactory and that one game on roblox were pretty good

[fallow bronze]

i mean.. you can say that about most games.

[feral ferry]

Factorio just didn't click

Lack of content

[fallow bronze]

i liked it, but im burned out of it now

played it for 244 hours apparently.

[ornate cedar]

Tried Star Sector?
https://youtu.be/acqpulP1hLo

[orchid prism]

[small comet]

sad its not 6AOF

[orchid prism]

It's an amazing 2D newtonian game though

[small comet]

idk 2d just doesnt do it for me lately

its also why i dislike factorio rn... i do like the concept but 2d just turns me off atm idk why

i fear in a few weeks 3d will turn me off and i wont be space DHL anymore

[orchid prism]

I love how positively evil AI can be in the X universe. Just flew past a section of space highway that's absolutely booby trapped with friend/foe mines.

Guessing this is a pirate scheme 😄

[small comet]

i had one of those moments yesterday while getting stonks

flew ibto orbit of a science outpost

wanted to sell them the wine

ship besides me tried to dock (so they accepted the docking request)

suddenly

i hear a big bang and the ship isnt there anymore

next thing i know space police shot the poor sod while docking

[orchid prism]

I had to escort a slow ass freighter last night - While evading police ships that had caught me smuggling... and trying to lure friendly pirates into them, instead of shooting at the freighter.

(Which would have forced me to attack the pirates)

[small comet]

in my defence the space police prob knew i was carrying 180tons of wine for the station so they wanted to get it faster and killed people unloading on other pads

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

TIL there is a game called OnlyCans

BDSM Clowns, Body Horror

[small comet]

also psure that the station everyone sold to is now indebted for the next 70 or so generations

they prob spend around 287bil credits on wine

around 1mil tons to be exact

[fading spade]

Im finally watching RE Village
This intro is very fishy

its 2021: The game teaches you how to walk and look around

hmm, I feel this game is a continuation of RE 7
and im missing all the shit that its referencing

[fringe salmon]

it is

[fading spade]

bad man come kidnap

game: tragic cutscene
also game: press P for photo shoot

[small comet]

also game: Press F to pay respect

[fading spade]

yep

Garlic cloves:
PROS: Vampires stay away
CONS: Attracts Italians

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

You may fascinate an Italian by presenting them with cheese

[small comet]

so what ure saying is

my skyrim char could get some italian chicks

most likely all italian chicks

[fading spade]

hm? :')

[small comet]

bruh i have so many wheels of cheese

u wouldnt believe it

[fading spade]

oh :')

is it all your carry weight?

[small comet]

no but my chest at home has some magical pocket dimension to store it all

[fading spade]

:')

The C H E E S E Dimension

Imagine if Skyrim had proper food mechanics, and all the cheese molded over time

[small comet]

i think i had like a thousand or so wheels of cheese cause i tried duping them

[fading spade]

o.o

[small comet]

isnt that how some cheese is made

[fading spade]

Yes

but now the enemies can smell you from 1000000KM away

[small comet]

they can anyway

last time i checked skyrim doesnt offer players to bathe

so

[fading spade]

Yeh.....

[small comet]

since my char is a few years old

[fading spade]

True

[small comet]

he prob smells

a bit

[fading spade]

a bit indeed

Gee thanks, such detailed directions

[ornate cedar]

Its a puzzle game. what else to expect

[fading spade]

ah... a game you need to literally explore every possible millimetre of the environment to find key items that you cant continue without

[trim rock]

Sounds like classic Resi to me!

[fading spade]

running out of ammo while enemies keep spawning, yeah.... oh boiz

This is an 8 hour game but its a stressful 8 hours

[ornate cedar]

You are not supposed to use the guns

[fading spade]

seems impossible not to in this area

[fringe salmon]

seriously, is this your first RE game?

[fading spade]

yes

[fringe salmon]

quite obvious

[fading spade]

I saw a few videos of one of them where you ha to develop photos and defend from enemies as you waited

[ornate cedar]

You use the gun when you are about to get killed and cant run no more

[fringe salmon]

yeah it's not Cod zombies, they are supposed to take more than 2 bullets 😛

[fading spade]

my highest round in zombies is 34.....

[fringe salmon]

partly still a horror game and not a hacknslash

[ornate cedar]

There is never enough ammo, a lot of zombies and sometimes a (mini)boss chasing you

[fading spade]

who dis bish?

and she closed the gates

[ornate cedar]

Great, one less entry point to keep in mind

[feral ferry]

"Bad man"

You clearly got no idea what RE is about

[fringe salmon]

she literally just said that...

First of

I don't at all comprehend the fascination with Alcina

She isn't even that attractive

Basically a big ass milf

[bleak pike]

Boobs

[feral ferry]

Booba is that big of a deal?

[fading spade]

tall ass mommy dommy vampire

[feral ferry]

Dunno maybe the fact I can touch boobas anytime I want made me resistant to them

[bleak pike]

Also dommy stuff

[fading spade]

her victims?

[ornate cedar]

I got a big wooden spike and the weak spot is body mass

oh and just cover your neck with silver

[feral ferry]

Who knows

[feral ferry]

You forgot garlic

Just smear that shit all over your body

[ornate cedar]

I breath that out

Dragon style

[fading spade]

oooohh

shes not a vampire

Thats why she doesnt have fangs.... good to know

[bleak pike]

Nah she's a wolverine

[ornate cedar]

15 Mton hydrogen bomb should do the trick whatever it is

[bleak pike]

Duh

[feral ferry]

Technically

I mean she is a product of molded

And to sustain herself she needs human intake

[fading spade]

Yes but she isnt a true vampire

[feral ferry]

No she is not

But clearly inspired by count Dracula

[fading spade]

Yeahhh I guess

[ornate cedar]

Technically it is what we determine the collection of bits and shapes to resemble

[trail dove]

are you all talking about count mommy milkers

[bleak pike]

@feral ferry oh great one

[unborn spruce]

Not really sure why everyone is freaking out over her.

[feral ferry]

?

[bleak pike]

Can j play this resident evil without playing the last

[feral ferry]

I ain't no great

[unborn spruce]

She’s alright, I suppose. Kinda average all in all.

[feral ferry]

And no you can't

It's a direct sequel of RE7

[bleak pike]

Guess I'll start that first then

Cos I have had it installed for years

[feral ferry]

With the story carrying on from where 7th left off

[unborn spruce]

Just play both at once. Bind one control setup to both games.

Twice the RE, same time.

[keen urchin]

Yes you can. It's very playable without knowing all the references

There are some, but not too many

[bleak pike]

Twice the heart attacks

[unborn spruce]

Friendly reminder that some fuckin’ madman managed to beat all 3 original Mario games at the same time with one controller.

Idk how.

[keen urchin]

And RE8 looks infinitely more interesting than RE7

[feral ferry]

RE8 doesn't try to be scary

Like it has some horror elements but it's more an action shooter

But boy

Benevento part of the playthrough

[unborn spruce]

RE8 tries to be FUCKING TITS, AAAAARRRRGGHH full of interesting story.

[feral ferry]

Is the scariest thing I have ever seen since PT

It's literally PT inspired

Long narrow corridors, the phone ringing, a creature in the dark

Very much PT vibes from that part of the playthrough

But it was short af

[unborn spruce]

Is RE8 causing the most fear boners of any recent game?

Probably.

That’s not a great realisation.

:L

[keen urchin]

RE8's story is still utter garbage, and it's about 50h too short for the price

But from a raw gameplay perspective it's actually something I'd play

Unlike RE7

That was just garbage all around

[feral ferry]

Xeanoa shitting on the story again

[unborn spruce]

Well yeah, that’s the strat of RE8. Big ol’ titty vampire gets the sales. Don’t need a good story with simps around.

[barren pewter]

it looks interesting

but ffs

[unborn spruce]

If we should know anything by now it’s that desperate kids simp to pixels.

[barren pewter]

I am not paying $80 for 10 hours of gameplay

[feral ferry]

[feral ferry]

Oh wait they don't

[unborn spruce]

YARRRRRRR!

[barren pewter]

ah yes

that

[feral ferry]

Tbh the more game and software prices increase, the more that is the solution

[fringe salmon]

the game has a lot more content, always been the case with RE that the first playthough is not 60h but you have other modes and replay value etc.

[feral ferry]

Although RE8 is very well crafted

[unborn spruce]

@feral ferry So long as publishers use BS excuses I’ll use my ability of sailing.

[fringe salmon]

comparing maingame story time as the only playtime for the game is not a fair look

[barren pewter]

dude, you can sail as well?

[unborn spruce]

Fuck yeah.

[keen urchin]

Apparently it does not have much replay value, according to people who played it

[barren pewter]

I guess that old joke about the best sailors being aussies or kiwis wasn't bullshit

[unborn spruce]

Mate, you know it.

We shitheads over here we’re convicts.

Sailing is in the blood.

[barren pewter]

not what I meant

[bleak pike]

hopefully you can get one of those 5g routers one day

[fading spade]

I want a router at some point so I can FUCKING HOST SERVERS ONCE MORE .-.

I once had 2 minecraft servers
one Spigot server and one vanilla

and no friends to play on them

[ornate cedar]

Weird flex but ok

[fading spade]

xd

[fading spade]

;-;

[keen urchin]

Considering it also stitched his coat back together I think it's safe to say he's hallucinating

[scarlet wing]

You'll find out in the future

Actually mind blown

[fading spade]

O

[fading spade]

the UI in Bedrock minecraft has these extra things at the top right the Java edition doesnt, hmmm, interesting

and servers can edit what they display

[bleak pike]

Afaik similar to java

Servers can force data packs/resource packs into you

[fading spade]

yeh but you cant make a new UI element

[bleak pike]

Just seems way more clean on bedrock

You can

[fading spade]

no?

[bleak pike]

A lot of servers have mods that do stuff like this

[fading spade]

yes MODDED

[bleak pike]

Plugins etc

Just like data packs

[fading spade]

Plugins cant make UI elements

[bleak pike]

You don't need forge etc

That's what I meant about way more clean

It's all done in the background on bedrock

[fading spade]

literally cannot make a new UI element on Java without mods

Plugins + data packs arent mods

all UI that those use are retextured vanilla stuff

or have items in them you casnt interact with to make it have less slots like in a lot of minigame servers

[bleak pike]

But it's the same thing

Just one is outsourced and the other is supported natively

[orchid prism]

Kind of isn't. If Bedrock can push UI stuff serverside.

[fading spade]

It can push UI and skins even

[bleak pike]

Java can too

[fading spade]

and I think custom UI images

nope

[bleak pike]

You can have modded severs without the user doing anything special

[fading spade]

Java's UI is stuck to whats built in without mods

[fading spade]

forge modded?

cause IMO plugins arent mods

cause they cant add new items

[bleak pike]

Idk how it works but I've seen servers do shit like this

Also I've always wondered

Why does java edition have a data pack folder

[fading spade]

to use data packs

duh

[bleak pike]

But I thought data packs were bedrock only

[fading spade]

you can enable / disable them at world gen like they are a resource pack

or in a world with commands

[bleak pike]

Data packs are just bedrock mods

[fading spade]

yeh but they also do cool shit with Java too

Mojang have a few data packs to give you back the new world height in the snapshots

Until its properpy implemented into the game

[bleak pike]

I just wish bedrock wasn't so shit when it came to open source

[fading spade]

or that 70% of the skins I try to import into the game dont work

[bleak pike]

Bedrock with open source nodding like java

My god

Amazing

[fading spade]

right?!

Bedrock can feel stuttery when there is too much stuff happening

but there are no lag spikes like Java

I like the ability to change your skin while already in a world

dont need to relog if you are in a server

[bleak pike]

I mean

That never bothered me anyway

[fading spade]

I c hange skin too much... xd

[bleak pike]

Don't you have to relog if you're using a custom skin

[fading spade]

uh, lemme see

[bleak pike]

Also

Rtx Minecraft is so stupid

[fading spade]

you mean going from custom to store skin?

[bleak pike]

No

Just switching customs in general

Why tf would you buy a store skin

Lol

[fading spade]

you can only import one custom at a time

which I learned the hard way....

[bleak pike]

Well ye

[fading spade]

I have two of the same xd
