[unborn spruce]

Oh god no. FFXIV makes me cringe hard, the gameplay is atrocious.

But the raiding thing applies over basically all games with raids.

Same usual bullshit.

[fringe salmon]

in that case you can't really call us lucky if the chat or rather general community differs in every game? if I get nobody hiding they are dying and your WoW (or whatever) raid is having someone hiding it every day, that isn't making me lucky 😛

[small comet]

i mean i was talking about ffxiv

[fringe salmon]

ye ik, was towards this

[keen urchin]

I hate what Ubisoft has done to the Anno franchise

DRM
Always online
Uplay
History Editions

Makes me sadge

[unborn spruce]

That sounds right. Give it enough time and you’ll find heaps of the idiots.

In all circles of raiding they exist, it’s just a matter of time.

[bleak pike]

Fell down

[fringe salmon]

below the hardcore variants it's less likely and I won't care and for extreme variants I don't understand why people would do it without voicecomms or at least a full group so doubt it

[bleak pike]

Now there's a big dude

Help

How do I heal

[fringe salmon]

estus

[fallow bronze]

did your screen fall down?

[bleak pike]

It's my friends

[unborn spruce]

No no no. They’re everywhere, far more common in easy raids where the newbs can slip in.

[bleak pike]

I'm prob ruining his save

So I think I'll stop

XD

[unborn spruce]

You just find people that don’t watch a video or something and just hop in without knowing what they’re doing.

[fringe salmon]

I've not watched anything before I played it so far and it was no issue..

and as I said, in the easy raids it's much less likely to even matter

[bleak pike]

hmmm

[fringe salmon]

hell last fight one dps wasn't there because not connected or something

[bleak pike]

ngl i find my mates setupo comfortable

As messy as it is

my posture is a lot better and my hands feel pretty good

i think im going to redo my entire desk

because its cleary terrible for my health

also starting to think my monitor is to close

[young hill]

Was it the Bellic family is the real question

[barren pewter]

Cousin!!!

let's go bowling

[ornate cedar]

No, Roman im busy.... Getting shot by the entire police force in the city.. but hey I only murdered a few hunderd innocent lives.. if only we had more drip

[unique bane]

@fringe salmon HC titan was super annoying back in the day in FFXIV:ARR

[fringe salmon]

do you mean hard or extreme?

[unique bane]

EU datacenter was located in NA and pugs had real trouble with it. You had to be super fast.

Just hard

[fringe salmon]

oh LOL

yeah no not the case anymore lol

[unique bane]

Yeah I think they moved EU datacenter into EU a while back

felt like 2nd class citizen, since I am usually part of endgame guilds

[fringe salmon]

don't recall having any ping issue or similar yet

[unique bane]

I don't expect any, would be nice to try savage/extreme versions now 🙂

[fringe salmon]

yeah I'm excited for that, but it'll be a good while before I get to it

not gonna do them before I'm done with MSQ and such

[small comet]

why be part of a guild

when u can just not be in one

yes, by using teleport and tp back to my circle

[fading spade]

TIL Octopath Traveler is made by Nintendo

[fringe salmon]

.. what?

when did nintendo buy square?

[fading spade]

It's on the eShop under Nintendo as the publisher

[keen urchin]

You know what publisher means, right?

[fading spade]

Well it doesn't say publisher

It says "Software made by Nintendo"

[barren pewter]

welp

it's been less than one entire year since I've switched to PC gaming

and now I've lost all my muscle memory tied to using controllers

I perform better on mouse and keyboard anyway, so good riddance

more brain space for shit that matters

[remote yoke]

I found mouse and keyboard immediately more natural when I made the transition

we are console to PC transgamers

[fading spade]

[young hill]

Are you buying cheap accounts of something

[young crow]

yea

hacked accounts

the owner still used it to i thought i'd just ban it after testing features

[young hill]

Why not buy the actual games with all the money

[young crow]

cleaned labs 10 times in a row

[young crow]

don't want to give money to incompetent devs

[young hill]

Oh

So you buy account to exploit game?

[young crow]

Should be above a million by now

[young crow]

LMAO

[slim token]

they are willing and persistent

or they all pitched in for one preorder, then shared the email to use as "proof"

[ornate cedar]

Ebay can swoop then up real easy :)

to proof they are real they must put the username in the listing with all details. Valve can then confirm or deny the preorder legitness 😈

[slim token]

might buy the damn thing only to use it as controller for platformers

[young crow]

sadge

[keen urchin]

Fuck HDMI

DP all the way

I want that Dock

Any news on when they start selling those?

[slim token]

soon

[ornate cedar]

🤷 who knows

[keen urchin]

Unfortunately the memory layout isn't clear yet

[keen urchin]

Yeah, that could be anything

With LPDDR5, channel width would be 16 bit, which makes no sense really

[ornate cedar]

🤷

Product specifications are subject to change.
Who knows

[keen urchin]

I think it's worded poorly

It's likely Samsung memory, they have an LPDDR5 SKU that runs 5500 MT/s at 1.05V

Channel width 16 bit, with bank grouping

[ornate cedar]

Voltages are getting lower and lower

[keen urchin]

As features get smaller, you need less voltage to drive them

[ornate cedar]

Less voltage also allow for faster io

[keen urchin]

I just hope it will be 128 bit wide

Having a just 64 bit wide memory bus would seriously hamper the iGPU

[ornate cedar]

I see your having a good night tonight 😳

[barren pewter]

I did

one fun boss fight and now she dead

[ornate cedar]

Thats murder. Not legal. but was she the first to not be nice?

[barren pewter]

most definitely

she bit into me and...tasted me

then said I was "stale"

[ornate cedar]

Kinky

[barren pewter]

😳

[ornate cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/so-hot-the-things-they-do-fuck-damn-leonardo-dicaprio-gif-5195946

[barren pewter]

regardless

her comment regarding my taste hurt my feelings

she violated the be nice rule

and so I was justified in wiping out her bloodline

[ornate cedar]

Assassination of an arch duke vibes

but she broke the rules

and you responded to protect yourself.. in a way

[barren pewter]

protected my honour

[ornate cedar]

Also ensures she cant repeat the not nice behaviour

[barren pewter]

also yes

[ornate cedar]

This is a good and justified reaction, Not sure if the other side agrees but no show means you win by default

[young hill]

Honestly I am wondering when will next gen upgrade come at least

[barren pewter]

probably not any time soon, considering the rate at which the few patches that trickle out trickle out

[ornate cedar]

Trickle down patchonomics

[fading spade]

Why are they obsessed with the fact your character is a man?

"man-blood"
"Man-toy"
"Man-meat"

[novel umbra]

You are aware that the word "Man" does not necessarily classify a gender?

[fringe salmon]

also we have once again no clue who "they" are

[fading spade]

I'm talking about lady demitrescu and her daughters

[fringe salmon]

yeah so, vampire or w/e they are exactly wanting huMAN blood/meat

[fading spade]

[ashen lark]

I mean, mobile games in general usually aren’t the best, but why are the most played strategy p2w games with so many ads that are all missleading running on the same horrible engine, that is worse than browser strategy games we had 8 years ago. Like, there are actually good strategy not that pay to win browser/mobile app games, that unfortunately no one plays, and instead there is ton of games like rise of kingdoms, warpath… on the same horrible engine with ton of missleading ads but more players

[unborn spruce]

Speaking of mobile games, Warframe is coming to mobile.

It'll probably be the one good game on the entire platform.

Idk of any other mobile games that're actually really good.

Everything else just runs like ass.

[ashen lark]

I find grepolis quite a good strategy game tbh. It has its negatives, but since worlds don’t last forever… it is actually a lot about alliance cooperation and strategy. Consumes lot of time but can be fun. And you can actually take over other cities… there too

[unborn spruce]

Clearly you forgot the days of old mobile gaming.

Do you remember Tap Tap Revolution?

I remember Tap Tap Revolution.

I miss it. :(

Pocket God?

Doodle Jump?

Minecraft PE.

Doodle Army 2.

[ashen lark]

Wish I actually had more time so I could play grepolis. Fun, but because of low popularity and almost no p2w stuff there is a very small amount of devs, and new worlds that you want to join day one only begin every few months.

Anyone have any idea how to fix Terraria?

It's lagging/stuttering like crazy

To the point where it's unplayable

[hot spire]

mods?

[keen urchin]

Nope

Vanilla Terraria

I tried verifying files, updating graphics drivers, chipset drivers, ...

[hot spire]

disable fancy lighting

other than that idk

[keen urchin]

It already lags in the main menu

[young hill]

Turn off RTX

[keen urchin]

Tried that, didn't help

[hot spire]

its only dual core

so you can limit it to 2

[small comet]

easier fix to get constant framerates

[hot spire]

try moving it to your c drive

[small comet]

uninstall it

[keen urchin]

Of course it's installed in C:\

[young hill]

Can you disable cores when running terraria?

[hot spire]

you just set affinity to only 2 cores

[young hill]

Oh nevermind, about the same then

[keen urchin]

I'm still using an AMD card

[keen urchin]

Huh, that made a difference
But only from mega stutter to migraine inducing micro stutter 😦

[trail dove]

The game has a hard cap at 60fps but for me if I allowed harder through nvidia control panel it would stutter so try limiting graphics card framerate

harder? Why did I say that meant higher

[keen urchin]

Same here

[hot spire]

maybe use nvidia to 30fps cap it?

[keen urchin]

I'm not gonna buy a new GPU to cap the game at a lower FPS

[hot spire]

dude is terreria

it isnt good looking

[keen urchin]

60 is already borderline low

[small comet]

lol

[keen urchin]

For a game like Terraria

[small comet]

i play games at 25

for the cinema feeling

[young hill]

Tony you look a little different. New tail?

[keen urchin]

Is it detachable?

[hot spire]

if you pull it hard enough

[trail dove]

amd has an equivalent to nvidia control panel doesn't it or can you not change framerates with it

[keen urchin]

Of course it has

And of course I could cap Terraria to 30 FPS

But I don't think that solves my issue

[small comet]

yes

[small comet]

depends on whos asking

[young hill]

Are you a furry?

[small comet]

im fat pikachu bruh

[young hill]

@bleak pike

[small comet]

[young hill]

Your boi is a furry creature

That emits electricity

[keen urchin]

Well, I tried
I cannot perceive 30 FPS as fluid motion, I see a slide show of individual frames
I was more fluid though, but did not solve the lag entirely

[young hill]

That is fair

What about 60fps

[keen urchin]

Yes

About 35/36 FPS is where it transitions into fluid motion for me

[young hill]

Okay but lag with 60fps?

[keen urchin]

Bad. Very bad.

[young hill]

Oh sh!t

Well that is sad

[young hill]

Is this mouse lag in game or actual stuttering of frames just to clarify out of curiousty?

[keen urchin]

The game stuttering

Regardless of mouse input

Even in the main menu

[young hill]

Strange that it was not ever bothered to be fixed.

[bleak pike]

@small comet changing your profile pic is illegal

[ashen lark]

True

Change it back in 7 days

Or else

[small comet]

i dont understand it

[young hill]

It is okay Tony you are not an adult yet what Callum says does not apply yet

[stoic ibex]

a buddy of mine said, that magnetic switches are wishy wash, and don't have a clear feeling. any comments?

[fringe salmon]

#archived_questions_answers also as always depends, you can use everything and make a bad product with

[keen urchin]

The sensor is magnetic. The switch is not.

The switch uses a spring, like any other

[stoic ibex]

duh. what else would keep the key in the unpressed position.

[stoic ibex]

if the sensor is magnetic, but the switch is not, how does the sensor detect anything?

[small comet]

https://discordjs.moe/ysdrq1erkvev.png

[keen urchin]

Bad wording. There is a small magnet attached to the switch the sensor picks up. It does not affect how the switch feels or behaves

[hot spire]

more of to see if it fixes it

[keen urchin]

Well, I did test it, and it did not fix my issue

[hot spire]

if you set affinity to one core

dose it pin it?

[orchid prism]

So apparently FFXIV has a huge Finnish community who names all of their characters using bad puns?

[keen urchin]

Yes

[hot spire]

yeah just shit game

f

[keen urchin]

Unless you mean something other than "run on that core you assigned it to run on"

Which is expected behaviour

[small comet]

i dont get it

[hot spire]

the game should take that much cpu

so something in the game is fucked

[keen urchin]

What do you mean?

[hot spire]

on my 5900 with a single core

terreria is running 60fps

at 40%

no mods

[keen urchin]

Well, 100% load here

[hot spire]

yep thats why i asked lol

only showing 2~3% and 1.5g of ram

[orchid prism]

Neither do I - But I ain't finnish 😄

[hot spire]

considering the rec specs are 2.0ghz single core and 2.5gb of ram

on xp

lol

[novel umbra]

Uhhh

So after finally trying out diablo 3

Why tf do people play this

Like

I beat main story

Did a bit of postgame

And see no point why people would actually prefer this over poe besides boomer mindset

[hot spire]

yes

[trim rock]

Because BLIZZARD

[hot spire]

thats why they are rehashing d2

to make money

[trim rock]

And uh the vain hopes of making money through the auction house oh wait they deleted that

[novel umbra]

Not like d2 has the postgame either

I mean d3 has postgame

It is just that the builds are so stale

You basically just rely on 15k% damage acaling from an armor set

Oh yea fully aware of that

But it's not like people won't ever switch off of diablo 3

Oh also

I beat diablo 3 on hard

And only after that found out how to raise difficulty further

Ye

I mean it isn't a terrible game

I just don't see how people claim this has anything objectively over poe

D3 might work as babys first arpg idk

That you have to turn on free skill selection is bs as well

:MonkaS:

Nice mobile emotes broken

Uhh

A lot of germans are

Idk why

[unique bane]

@orchid prism Whats FFXIV install size?

[fringe salmon]

mine is 53GB but idk if it's including some garbage as I had free trial and then full version

[orchid prism]

54

[unique bane]

jeebus 12 gb free

[keen urchin]

I think I found a solution

XP compatibility mode. Also forces you to run it as admin

But weirdly enough, not even Afterburner or RTSS can capture FPS after that

Still 100% CPU, though

[orchid prism]

Gosh darn WoW streamers bringing everyone here.

[fringe salmon]

wut, are you playing on NA servers?

[orchid prism]

Oh hell no 😄

I'm on light - Which had just over 400 in queue earlier today.

[young crow]

nice delete

[orchid prism]

https://tenor.com/view/tv-the-office-comedy-dwight-karate-gif-3670957

[unique bane]

Might aswell download it

see what my options are

[fading spade]

TIL Fortnite is except from needing a Nintendo Online subscription to play online

[ripe tendon]

exempt, I assume

[fading spade]

ye

i must look tha up

[novel umbra]

all games that use external servers are btw

[ripe tendon]

as it should be

[novel umbra]

warframe for example is as well

[ripe tendon]

that was a recent change wasn't it?

[fading spade]

OOO

[ripe tendon]

or maybe I read it for Gold

[novel umbra]

nope

warframe was from release

[ripe tendon]

or PSN? I thought I read about one of them doing it recently

[novel umbra]

can still not recommend playing that game with controllers

but there is a mobile port in the works

[fading spade]

Warframe on Switch? That barely ran well on my PC

[ripe tendon]

could be exception as well

[fading spade]

wtf

[ripe tendon]

lol

[novel umbra]

runs okay

ported by the same team that ported doom

[fading spade]

ahh#

I see

I was shit at that game anyway xd

ill be worse on Switch cause controller

[novel umbra]

yup

[fading spade]

:')

[novel umbra]

PC players already were slow usually

with crossplay it will prob be unbearable in public lobbies

although

I already got used to waiting the 60 second timer at the end lol

[fading spade]

oh yeah...

and sometimes you still get attacked while waiting there

[novel umbra]

attacked

please

I use something like equinox

and no enemy can touch me

effectively

[fading spade]

xd

[novel umbra]

I don't even use mods to increase my speed

people just don't get the movement

and it is basically impossible to execute well on controller for long times

[fading spade]

Going by the logic that games which dont use Nintendo servers are exempt from needing the Nintendo online sub, that means Minecraft will be exempt too?

Cause they use Realms and P2P

[novel umbra]

I would guess so

unless they host minecraft realms on nintendo servers

[fading spade]

Doubt it

[novel umbra]

and do the P2P connections over it as well

I doubt they do actual P2P

[fading spade]

A lot of realms money comes from PC players who cant host their own server,

[novel umbra]

ah

[fading spade]

Cause they dont know how to or they dont wanna use a third party host

[novel umbra]

zero tier one is your friend

why rent/host servers

if you can just do lan connect

[fading spade]

yes, but on Bedrock edition you can have P2P with any xbox friend

so you dont need a server

and OFC LAN too if you on same network

[novel umbra]

ah

[fading spade]

I was able to play Bedrock edition with my sister, cause shes a friend of mine on Xbox
But since she is on Playstation, it was a bit of a struggle cause her xbox accoutn name is different to her PSN name

We spent too long trying to get it to work

[orchid prism]

I mean technically YOU are just the server 😄

[fading spade]

ye

[orchid prism]

Java has this functionality as well though.

[fading spade]

whut?

no

[orchid prism]

But only on a LAN.

[fading spade]

Java has just LAN

[orchid prism]

That's just an artificial limitation.

Same concept.

[fading spade]

you cant invite someone to your game from outside your network

[novel umbra]

that is why I said to use zero tier one

[fading spade]

wot dis?

[novel umbra]

basically hamachi/tunggle

but not shit

[orchid prism]

It would be easy enough to get Java to host live. But... hosting a live game sucks 😄

[fading spade]

oo

[orchid prism]

Just launch a headless server on your PC instead.

[novel umbra]

ah also zero tier needs no port forwarding

[fading spade]

uh

[novel umbra]

[fading spade]

cries in mobile hotspot life

[novel umbra]

this

[fading spade]

oo

[novel umbra]

uses UDP punchholing

[fading spade]

What is SLA?

[novel umbra]

service level agreement

[fading spade]

huh?

[novel umbra]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-level_agreement

you don't get guarantees for downtimes etc

[fading spade]

Damn, Fancy name my man!

[novel umbra]

but if you just wanna host a game server you use with your friends

that runs on your own computer

free does everything you want

[fading spade]

I used to have two servers running on my computer

back when I had a router

both Minecraft, snapshot and plugin

[keen urchin]

What does this offer that the MC server download doesn't?

[novel umbra]

you have to host it somehow

you could just do port forwarding

[fading spade]

lets you let players join without port forwarding

[novel umbra]

and let players join over your public ip

[fading spade]

i cant do port frowarding .-. cause mobile hotspot

[novel umbra]

zero tier hosts a virtual LAN

so you can direct connect over an IP via zero tier

works for other games and programms as well obv

[novel umbra]

same cause I don't have access to my router

[fading spade]

o?

y not?

[novel umbra]

requires a pw to be set

landlord set a pw

forgot it

[fading spade]

o.o

[novel umbra]

I only get physical access when the pub is open

cause it sits in the pub

and I don't wanna reset it cause it might not log in to the ISP network

without additional info

[fading spade]

ooh...

wait, you live at a pub?

[novel umbra]

in the house I live in

there is a pub

in the ground floor

[fading spade]

ahhh, thats very cvommon in Ireland too

[novel umbra]

well

[fading spade]

but mostly shops

at not pubs

[novel umbra]

technically my apartment is also partially ground floor

lol

[fading spade]

hmmm ok

[novel umbra]

shops don't survive in small towns

[fading spade]

They do in Ireland, cause its probably a 20 minute to 40 minute drive to another probably much better shop

but I hate the small shops cause a lot of the time the milk or bread is gone off ;-;

oo, zero tier runs on Linux too

Does the person connecting also need to install it?

I used to use this janky app years ago to host without porting
it didnt work a lot of the time but it worked well when it did

[orchid prism]

Yep.

Or you know - Just run a server 😄

[fading spade]

I already said

I cant run a server

cause no one can j oin it without porting

and I cant port forward on hotspot

[orchid prism]

Oof

[bleak pike]

Use a vpn

On the hot-spot

[keen urchin]

Ya know, UPNP is a thing, and it's working for me...

Haven't had to manually port forward in at least two years

[orchid prism]

Yeah but everything in the chain needs to use it. Including the phone's hotstop function 😄

[fading spade]

my hotspot only shows the MAC address of the devices connected to it :/ so idk which device is which

[orchid prism]

I mean that IS the identifier you want. Which device do you need to know the mac of? Your own PC?

[fading spade]

If anything other than my PC is on it, its usually going to be moms phone, my Switch and my laptop

it would still be nice to see the name

it used to before MIUI 12 happened

[fading spade]

[ripe tendon]

More like HeroBOING, amirite!?

[fading spade]

youtube

why u promote this shit to kids

but dont allow swear wods in videos NOT aimed at kids?

[ripe tendon]

Gotta compete with Twitch

ok yeah I dunno about that 2nd part. That's stupid as fuck the way they demonetize shit

[unborn spruce]

Never forgetti.

Also wth are those tags? New Nintendo 3DS? Vita? Bruh.

Youtube, stahp making me want the old times back. :(

[fading spade]

In terms of smartphone CPUs, how comparable are they to a Switch CPU? In terms of performance
Like is it similar to a Snapdragon 845 or whatever?

[fringe salmon]

in the same way a desktop cpu is comparable to a console

[small comet]

u cant compare them

cause a snapdragon has a gpu integrated

the switch uses a tegra gpu

so the cpu can clock a ton lower

iirc docked its 1.6ghz on 4cores

1 reserved for the os at all times

handheld its prob 1.3ghz or lower

also the snapdragon has a ton more integrated

its more like comparing apples to oranges

[fringe salmon]

I mean it uses standard arm cores doesn it not?

so in that regard it's similar to others if you have the same cores on similar speeds

[fading spade]

oh ok

[fringe salmon]

so in the same way a console uses the same as a desktop yet is used differently, has different memory interface etc.

so the answer is, it depends on what terms you want to compare them on

[small comet]

except snapdragons use a mix if 2 cores usually

the 845 has the 70 and 55 cortex cores

or was it 75 and 55

[fringe salmon]

well yeah, idk about the 845 I think that was just meant as an example and not the exact chip to be compared with

[small comet]

in general snapdragons do that

[trim rock]

XD

[ripe tendon]

efiant*

[orchid prism]

Wheeeeee....

[fringe salmon]

ye servers at full capacity

took a while for me to get in too and the queue didnt go down sometimes

[orchid prism]

Yeah it's been like this for a week now, getting slightly worse every night 😄

Worse I've seen on twin is 1400 I think.

[fringe salmon]

NA servers are full so some NA people are starting on EU now lmao

[orchid prism]

AND there's an MGP bonus event going on as well from today.

[fringe salmon]

so, square need more servers and fix the shop, but in that order and not other way around or it'll get worse xD

[orchid prism]

Everyone's gotta get their super easy 90K MGP for the Fashion Report event.

[small comet]

i heard

fix the shop

dont even attempt to fix the servers

[fringe salmon]

I mean the shop to buy the game is by far one of the worst parts of the game lmao

[small comet]

i mean

the game to game the game is by far the game part of the game

[maiden nexus]

is there a way to make analog controls work for trackmania nations forever? for the new trackmania it works perfectly and i dont want to go back to normal keyboard controls 😄

[hot spire]

forever has native controller support dosent it?

[unborn spruce]

Can confirm TMNF has native controller support.

[orchid prism]

Meep Meep - Speedy Chocobo coming through.

[edgy ore]

Dandy Melody is your Chocobo? xD

[orchid prism]

Yup.

It's all song themed 😄

grinding MGP. Managed to get my first 100k last night due to event overlap.

[fading spade]

BLEP

[ripe tendon]

Filling out a survey and it asks "Favorite game?" Wtf. How dare they put such pressure on me.

[orchid prism]

Whoo!

https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/classified-challenger-tank-specs-leaked-online-for-videogame/

Imagine being annoyed enough about a tank in a game not being realistic enough, that you leak classified data about it.

[fading spade]

perfect xd

[small comet]

still feel old that u just now play the game

[fading spade]

ive played it already xd

I watching Josh play it cause hes been doing that recently

[young hill]

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games-were-running-off-an-sd-card-during-steam-decks-reveal

[tough jay]

Of course, you can also play switch games of micro-sd just fine, it's just slower.

Especially something like portal 2 really is no big deal of a micro-sd

[fading spade]

LOL

[hot spire]

We just need more UFS external support

Samsung's micosd ufs is faster than sata3

[small comet]

we dont

we just need manufacturers to not be cheap and do what wd has done for some time now

make a custom hdd/ssd pcb with the usb connector directly on it

no sata translation

[ornate cedar]

Ay yea, mr krabs. Im beginning to believe it. 😳

[ornate cedar]

I call this a good religion

[young hill]

Uh.. wow

[orchid prism]

Cool

[ornate cedar]

You can make animals be considered holy. pog

[orchid prism]

[barren pewter]

[barren pewter]

worship the duck...

does this allow for the consumption of peking duck?

[ornate cedar]

No, hunting and consumption is forbidden. But one should get more ducks around

But hey, cannibalism is allowed

[barren pewter]

😋

be a dear and pass the liver pls

[ornate cedar]

Cool, you can give to the poor and do charity

[barren pewter]

but I would like a slice of that yummy liver for my efforts

mans gotta eat

[ornate cedar]

one asked for some silver to pay ransom of their friends. As extremely bigoted cannibalistic polyamourous female supremacists we give to the needy

[barren pewter]

[wheat kraken]

I read the "silver" part and my brain instantly thought, "Judas?" but then read the rest.

[novel umbra]

[fading spade]

I wish I got the Animal Crossing Switch.....

This thing is so pretty

<3

[small comet]

so

just

buy the shells

and swap em

its like 40bucks

[fading spade]

WOT?!

How
where

[small comet]

aliexpress is ur friend

[fading spade]

oh, I no trust that website

[small comet]

enough yt people have done it and shown it

[orchid prism]

Amazon has some too.

[small comet]

literally no difference to the real one

[orchid prism]

But get someone good with small parts to do it.

Also - The Joycons will still think they're their original colours. But that's a minor thing.

[small comet]

those are also changeable on a hacked switch

or hackable switch

or a pc with bluetooth

[orchid prism]

Permanently?

[small comet]

yes

[orchid prism]

Neat.

[fading spade]

It doesnt matter they think they are the neon colors
Unless some software uses that for anything but I doubt it

[small comet]

someone also extracted the actual color values of the ac cons

so we have exact matches etc

[fading spade]

woah

What are they called, JoyCon Shells?

[orchid prism]

https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/listing/862898759/animal-crossing-switch-shell-switch?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=animal+crossing+switch+shell&ref=sr_gallery-1-16&pro=1&frs=1

Here's a set without the sticker.

But you can include a horizons themed screen protector. Which is awesome.

[small comet]

https://kotaku.com/how-to-change-your-switchs-on-screen-joy-con-colors-1847187736

[small comet]

for stickers id have recommended the dbrand ones

[orchid prism]

Just google "switch new horizons shell" and you'll find results.

[fading spade]

These are decals oh ok

Id fail to apply them properly hah

Im looking at the reviews and there is one for another product they make

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Its BMO Series X :')

[unborn spruce]

Wym, the Series X is already themed as a fridge?

[fading spade]

LOL

ooo Jugger-Nog theme

[unborn spruce]

Ok that's pog.

Is there a Speed Cola one?

[fading spade]

idk, lemme look at their store

This is pretty too

[unborn spruce]

Ooh.

I kinda love the Series X.

It's waaaay better than the PS5 in looks.

[fading spade]

same :D Its a nice looking machine for sure

[unborn spruce]

There's something just so good about basically just being a box.

[fading spade]

Like my computer case also xd

it looks like an office computer almost

[unborn spruce]

I wanna change my PC case soon.

Wanna shove it into a rack.

[fading spade]

im mostly happy with mine

other than the sheer impossibity of connecting my new SSD to the sata port on the motherboard cause the case is in the way

😍

[orchid prism]

Nothing a different cable can't address 😄

[fading spade]

Yeah, I may get a shorter cable and mount the SSD under the GPU on the PSU shroud

there is two mounts there

[unborn spruce]

Mmmm, lads.

Anyone hype for Warframe crossplay?

[fading spade]

I havent played WaFrame in a long while

[unborn spruce]

Full crossplay and cross save coming. :D

Later this year.

Can't wait to see all of the bad console aiming when people try and kill Eidolons.

[small comet]

so

[trim rock]

You mean phone aiming

[small comet]

i can play a boring game on any console

[fading spade]

it was fun for a while

but i got sick of it after a bit

Im wondering how well the Switch can hold up when you are walking around the market place though.... my computer lagged on that one

[small comet]

i got sick of an answer like "nothing we can do if some planets are locked after our system map change"

despite me providing screenshots and videos of me having been able to go to some planets

and its the reason i quit

[unborn spruce]

@small comet When did that happen?

Must’ve been forever ago.

[small comet]

at least 3yrs

or longer

[unborn spruce]

Huh...

That’d be somewhere around StarChart 2.0.

Have you looked at any of the recent stuff since that point?

[small comet]

yes

i hate it

and its still locked

as in

i need to do the relay missions

cba

[unborn spruce]

shrugs They aren’t so bad.

[small comet]

i dont see why i have to do em tho

[unborn spruce]

They take maybe an hour to knock out.

As for why? Flags.

[small comet]

yes but why

completely unnecessary to make me waste an hour

for nothing

[unborn spruce]

All of them are tied into other stuff, having DE manually change the flags on their side and assign rewards wastes time and money.

Hell, from the relays you get rewards anyway.

[small comet]

they could have just

automatically done the stuff for flags when they switched to the new map system

cause they had to change db stuff anyway to store flags

i assume

[unborn spruce]

Kinda.

From what I understand the relays are entirely new as far as db is concerned.

Not tied into current stuff at time of release. But the flags attached tied into future content.

The problem being that there’s no way to reset the flags.

So if they changed some manually and then you got locked out of future content like the New War, they’d have to manually change it back.

Rinse and repeat with every player. Yeah no.

[small comet]

so ure telling me

their game can do checks of when a relay shoukd unlock and stuff

but they cant write the same as an sql query

and do it on a system change

[unborn spruce]

I’m sure they can, but they didn’t.

Can’t tell you for what reasons specifically, only that it takes a matter of an hour or so to do all of them.

It’s really not a huge time investment.

You spend longer cleaning your kitchen.

[small comet]

no

def not

[unborn spruce]

Fine fine.

[small comet]

fapping? maybe

but not cleaning my kitchen

[unborn spruce]

Ehh.

Maybe after Christmas or something?

Idk. Depends how many parasitic organisms family members you have over to consume your hard work.

[small comet]

none

i celebrate alonr

[unborn spruce]

Nevertheless, the relays really don’t take that long. :P

[unborn spruce]

Wish I had that.

[small comet]

an hr wasted is an hr wasted

[unborn spruce]

shrugs Not worth dropping an otherwise amazing game.

[small comet]

tje only thing amazing is dual kamas

[unborn spruce]

I’m still just grinding out Deimos. Love that place.

I must have a Necramech.

[unborn spruce]

Dual Kamas Prime are great.

Total sleeper weapons.

[small comet]

the only weapon i use are dual kamas prime

[unborn spruce]

Reaper Prime is also a sleeper.

Have a Riven for that and all it does is build 12x multiplier crazily fast.

Blood Rush is still broke. Same with Berserker.

[small comet]

i play frost

prime

good frame

but

like i said game boring

[bleak pike]

Frost prime can be pretty neat

I use him on my

Forgot their name

[novel umbra]

frost

[bleak pike]

The robots you can throw that mimic you

[novel umbra]

people still play him

is he more useful then 3 years ago

[bleak pike]

I don't play him as much

But I like him

[novel umbra]

he was deadweight back in the days

and with the updated melee damage orthos prime was just stupidly strong

the previous powerhouses like galatine prime and gram prime were still strong

but the orthos just got a giga buff

[bleak pike]

My fave is umbra

Tbh

XD

[novel umbra]

meh

equinox for me

or well

equinox prime

[bleak pike]

Idk why, I just love umbra

Even if he's far from one of the best

[novel umbra]

underrated dps

tbh

[bleak pike]

Judt love his playstyle

[novel umbra]

but not that useful

like

yea he CAN chop down EVERY enemy

but a saryn etc would be faster

and if you just need a single one then a tigris is faster as well

[bleak pike]

I've been enjoying the dude that brings things back to life recently

[novel umbra]

nekros?

yea too bad he was reduced to loot multiplication

since the ressed units are useless

you might wanna take a look at nyx though

actually interesting abilities

after the rework a few years ago

you can make actually useful minions

and get damage absorption

in one build

you just need to get used to rolling

A LOT

kinda wanna dl it again

but the content I am missing just kinda sucks

steel path has no rewards

cba grinding relics to grind primes

cba to do ship shit

[bleak pike]

It's been lackluster

For quite some time

[novel umbra]

yea

like 5 years

eidolons were the last thing worthwile as new content

[trim rock]

Yeah I'm basically done and just do whatever new quests and such they add

[bleak pike]

Sri waiting for the new war

One day

Speaking of

https://youtu.be/KrwHDq0D2Rs

[novel umbra]

yea finally the feature everyone asked for

play as enemy factions

[trim rock]

Yeah can't wait for that new PVP mode

[novel umbra]

current pvp playerbase

oh

there isn't one

[trim rock]

Yeah, Teshin be like this shit is only happening because you fuckers didn't play conclave

[bleak pike]

What happened to the old war

Or w. E it was called

The different timelime shit or something

Nvm

https://youtu.be/GuIILJ6ltUc

[novel umbra]

yea can't wait for another open world nobody asked for

cause the first two ones were so enjoyable

didn't even bother more than a few hours with the third

[unborn spruce]

Love the open worlds.

Deimos is great, all fucked up and infested.

Then there’s the Necramechs. Those things are sorta crazy.

[bleak pike]

I just liked using a hoverboard

The world's are just boring

And empty

Or well pointless

[unborn spruce]

Mm. Yeah.

I’m just waiting for the inevitable to happen.

The Warframe vision happens.

Probably a few years down the line, but goddamn am I waiting for it.

I want Warframe 1.0 to really happen. As it was meant to be.

[bleak pike]

Not with tencent owning them

[unborn spruce]

I’m not so certain on that remaining.

[trim rock]

Yeah you think they will ever get it out of beta?

[unborn spruce]

Wouldn’t put it past DE leadership to buy their freedom. I’m sure they see the writing on the wall.

[unborn spruce]

Nah.

That’s a meme, can’t ever escape beta.

But the OG Warframe was supposed to be planets you could freely fly to and explore at will.

Just hop in your ship and fly somewhere. Very Elite Dangerous kinda gameplay.

With Railjack working fine it seems like a matter of time before it’s integrated into Plains or something as a test.

[trim rock]

As if they'll ever touch the jacks again

[unborn spruce]

They just did.

Crew update, corpus update, new story, changes across the board, the intrinsics got reworked, graphical rework, objective rework, and more parts.

Mods got improved as well.

AI pilot needs some pretty hardcore work, but it’s quite good.

[trim rock]

Yeah I know it's now significantly easier yaayy

[unborn spruce]

Nah. It’s doable solo now.

Before the higher proximas were either super hard solo, to the point of not being fun, or outright undoable.

Now they’re still difficult, but fun.

[small comet]

im unsure if canadians can even buy freedom

[unborn spruce]

From Tencent? I think so.

Or if anything they can negotiate a purchase of Digital Extremes as a shell company and it’s legit enough.

[small comet]

idk if tencent is willing to sell

they are a multi billion usd company after all

[unborn spruce]

True.

Idk. I can hope there.

how about you?

[fringe salmon]

"While the issue ended up actually being server-related"

so just a clickbait headline

[orchid prism]

Kind of. She genuinely thought that was the reason, since the ban happened immediately after - Watch the clip.

[fringe salmon]

nah I read the article, her thinking so at first is different from a funny coincidence, and the title is no accident 😛

[small comet]

next time we get a title like

thing happened to person

[barren pewter]

assume clickbait?

[small comet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4FuOi9rvKw

[keen urchin]

Clickbait

That said, I hear it's supposed to actually be somewhat decent?
Albeit the combat system is pretty dumbed down?

[keen urchin]

Well, I might buy that game after all, then

But Amplitude still losts points from me after joining SEGA

Quality just wasn't the same any more

[ripe tendon]

Most of it is dumbed down. It's something to do with your time but don't expect to be blown away or very impressed. It should've been a survival game you could host like ARK instead of an mmo, imo.

[fading spade]

👀

[novel umbra]

nothing new

also 100% not the release date

[trim rock]

Are you suuure?

[novel umbra]

yes

[fading spade]

o?

[novel umbra]

they would be at least 2 days off for most of the european market

but they HAVE to release it at least week earlier

[ornate cedar]

Real release date is [redacted] with the lawyers

[novel umbra]

if they wanna profit off of the christmas market anyways

[fading spade]

I wanna buy DDLC Plus on Switch but I wanna get the physical copy that comes with a lot of extras
but they only selling those in America
and idk when / if they will sell to other regions
Should I wait?!

[novel umbra]

lol

[ornate cedar]

import them

[novel umbra]

not worth it

[fading spade]

I want the figurines mostly and the art book

[novel umbra]

those are not figurines

those are acrylic cutouts

[fading spade]

well, yeah

still

[novel umbra]

there is no artbook

[fading spade]

I thought the sit mentione it

hmm

maybe thats available regardless as digital

Natsuki be looking a bit different in this new version of the game

[bleak pike]

Omfg

I shit you not

@fading spade What’s the appeal of doki doki?

Never got it. Idk if that makes me braindead (wouldn’t be the first time)...

[fading spade]

I love the horror aspects of it, and its clever use of the file system

and Sayori is a precious cinnamon bun... <3

[unborn spruce]

Ah. Not a horror guy myself.

[fading spade]

well not scary horror, more phychological

[unborn spruce]

raised eyebrow My statement remains the same.

[fading spade]

xd

[unborn spruce]

I will happily deal with the existential terror of the literal void of outer space, but don’t even put me near psychological horror.

Or spiders.

Or both at the same time.

[barren pewter]

...not even if you're bestowed with a big iron and fighting vampires with big titties?

[fading spade]

The first time I heard about it, I watched one episode on and then played it myself

[barren pewter]

idk, seems like Resident Evil games really blur the line between shooter and horror-survival

[fading spade]

so nothing was spoiled and I thought it was an innocwent VN

NOPE

I was caught soooo off guard

[unborn spruce]

The RE series disappoints me hard.

[fading spade]

I did notice some hints though as I played

something seemed off

[unborn spruce]

Idk why, but my god it feels like boring nonsense 100% of the time.

I truly have tried to like RE, but I can’t make myself do it.

It’s all so generic and copy-pastey.

[barren pewter]

it's stories are boring, yes; but I enjoy the scenery, combat and exploration aspects

[unborn spruce]

Yeah, those 3 things aren’t enough to make a memorable game.

[barren pewter]

fair enough

[unborn spruce]

Like... story, weapons, and scenery can make a memorable game.

But not weapons, scenery, and exploring.

[barren pewter]

the cliche story kinda adds to RE8 imo

[unborn spruce]

Maybe I’m just ruined.

Could it be me?

No, it’s the children who are wrong.

[barren pewter]

since it takes place in a Romanian village and there are lots of creatures right out of a fairy tale

vampires, werewolves, giants, creepy animate dolls, etc.

[unborn spruce]

For me I need to be invested in a game before I care at all.

[barren pewter]

idk, it just feels...appropriate considering the locale and inhabitants imo

[unborn spruce]

It’s why NieR Automata took my heart so well.

Fuck, that’s a great game.

Story, world building, combat, design, general feel etc.
