@orchid prism remember my bdo days? pepesweat

Sweet baby jesus

bleak pike
#

this is quite an old img

#

xD

#

i just dug it out

#

my mate liked wolfs

bleak pike
#

I finally did it... i finished Shadow of the Tomb raider xD, ive been trying to finish it for years.

#

Big step for me ngl xD

#

Can you have a transparent pixel on optifine capes?

#

To make wings or whatnot

fading spade
#

valve provide hooks in their Deck API to tell games that they are running on the Deck
So devs could make grapics presets for it if they wanted or whatever tf they need to do

fringe salmon
#

and?

#

it's like 5 lines of code in c# to check if you are running on steamdeck xD

ornate cedar
#

lul You could always have requested the basic system info. Atleast be able to figure that out

feral ferry
#

Poor console plebs

bleak pike
#

i bet its gonna be shit

#

This is why they sent takedowns to the modders

orchid prism
#

Not just takedowns. Sounds like they're gearing for a court.

small comet
#

rockstar hasnt figured out that people like modding

clear parrot
#

And only available on the R* launcher. 😆

orchid prism
#

I'll just keep playing the originals without removed music or weird patched out content on the original consoles :3

Feels ssFeelsMeiMan
Not BDO for me tho, I spent way more than too much money on Crossout flooshmoney

small comet
#

for me its discord

young hill
#

Rockstar already said it would charge $70 for a game

ornate cedar
young hill
#

Another company was the first to say that not sure who though

young hill
#

Will not matter much as gamepass exists

#

Though anyone who wants to mod will probably own it

unborn spruce
#

Why own when you can pirate and then try setting up Hamatchi for multiplayer only to realize it's shit and ZeroTier is far better only to realize you have to walk all of your mates through a seemingly simple installation only to realize that SOMEONE doesn't know where the shortcuts are on Windows only to realize it's now 3am and you regret going on crackwatch go sailing with absolutely nothing bad happening at all.

young hill
#

I do not know mate, as scary as it is sort through links and hope what you download is the content you want, I like owning games make me feel giddy(yes i know apparently the long documents i do not legally own it). Past that what the heck is Hamatchi or ZeroTier

#

Also if we back up a bit, people can buy accounts to play games on ebay and those accounts cost a cup of coffee

#

Nowdays multiplayer is probably free as well

wheat kraken
#

What... Hamachi. Hamachi

#

You don't know what it is?!

young hill
#

no

#

never used it

wheat kraken
#

It was a lan emulator.

young hill
#

ah

wheat kraken
#

Allowing lan connections online

young hill
#

sounds useful

bleak pike
wheat kraken
#

Ah so it's gonna be from the good game

novel umbra
#

will prob still be shit

unborn spruce
#

Ngl Hamatchi is fucking garbage.

#

There is 0 reason to use Hamatchi over ZeroTier.

ornate cedar
#

No, user was garbage

unborn spruce
#

ZT just installs and runs in the background, from there any time you’re in anything LAN compatible with anyone in the ZT network they’ll just appear in LAN as normal.

#

Onetime setup and nothing else. Fully controlled by an admin with the FULL user range of a class A IP address.

#

Fuck Hamatchi it’s for nerds that can’t use google.

small comet
#

Tunngle was the shit

#

sad its defunct now

#

@unborn spruce so basically i can have a ZT network and if someone inputs my 16digit network id i have to say yes that 10digit node id is allowed to join

#

and then its basically lan

unborn spruce
#

Yes.

#

And it just works forever. No fucking around after setup.

small comet
#

can i use some api to auth 10digit codes

unborn spruce
#

Manual auth is what I use, but iirc yes.

#

You can host a moon (network) and write programs to auth depending on shit like keys and MACs.

small comet
#

for me it would be interesting to use since it means i can use it for shielded mc servers that dont require a login plugin

unborn spruce
#

Basically yeah.

small comet
#

people on a discord with a specific channel can use a bot to auth themselves etc

unborn spruce
#

And it’s also a true VPN as well, actually private auth required VPN.

#

On top of which you can manually specify IPv4 or 6 ranges for specific auth tokens all running through an E2E encrypted tunnel.

#

FUCK other lan apps, ZT is by FAR the best.

small comet
#

i mean for smth like this yes

#

tunngle was nice for games tho

novel umbra
#

ZT is super easy to use

#

and just works

unborn spruce
#

It just works, but this time isn’t FO76.

novel umbra
#

has some restrictions for the free version

small comet
#

i might try setting this up tbh

novel umbra
#

oh

#

you can self host it by now

novel umbra
#

didn't know that

unborn spruce
novel umbra
#

"limitations"

unborn spruce
#

Full control over literally everything. It’s nut.

small comet
#

the open source is unlimited tho so

novel umbra
#

ye

small comet
#

i dont see a problem

novel umbra
#

you'd have to host it yourself

small comet
#

i do have a fat ass root

novel umbra
#

reg free is hosted over their servers

unborn spruce
#

EXACTLY! Fuck everything else. >:D

small comet
#

so no problem

novel umbra
#

you don't even need to port forward with it

unborn spruce
#

It just... works.

#

Which is hilarious to even think about for anything running IPv6, but it do just work.

small comet
#

ngl i might try hosting this and see how it goes

novel umbra
#

even if you run in the 50 user limit cause idk

#

you host bf servers

#

you can just add a network

novel umbra
#

if you have a single host

unborn spruce
#

^

#

Plus you can very, very easily just have the networks cross communicating on the host.

#

So uhh, who gives a damn? KEKW

novel umbra
#

ye

small comet
#

wait so one question i assume id get a seperate network interface added on install which then has its own internal ip

novel umbra
#

I mean at some point

#

if you have so many users

#

just pay for premium

unborn spruce
#

^

novel umbra
#

to make your administrating easier

unborn spruce
novel umbra

Which naturally will be assigned a static IP, so no fucking around with DHCP since it just isn’t fucking needed.

@orchid prism

#

Worst time to try and pull that scam too lmao

#

why is it the worst time?

ornate cedar

as we can see

novel umbra
#

ah

barren pewter
#

ugh

#

just looked at some of the numbers of Ubi and Epic's transactions that were publicly available

#

pretty sure epic has this one in the bag...till enough people move to uPlay full and proper

#

then there's no real reason for Epic Fail Store to stay in the mix, because rn, they're a cash cow used to help Ubi improve their own platform

#

I don't like the sound of that at all, but the high seas call me, and I love the sound of that

barren pewter
#

yep

#

RAAAAISE THE FLAG!

#

just waiting for the lock holding the treasure chest of far cry 6 closed to be broken

'Cause like.

#

Free performance! Wooo!

barren pewter
#

reminds me of another game that is actually kinda good

#

so good that I bought it...then installed the cracked version so I can actually enjoy it

#

still, I'll just wait for the version sans the shit no one likes

#

or ubi might actually put the game on a platform I use, like GOG or Steam

#

very unlikely, but I like to think they care at least a bit about their customers, or at least, their wallets

barren pewter
#

yep

fading spade
#

LOL

#

The only game where the pirated version works much better than the original

orchid prism
#

I mean often pirated copies run faster than online DRM ones 😄

#

It usually isn't +20 FPS though xD

fading spade
#

Yeah
But village had two anticheat running at the same time
on a single player game .-.

barren pewter
#

welp...anti-cheat couldn't stop me from clearing the campaign in 2 hours and 33 minutes

#

did stop me from getting decent FPS during the fights with the daughters

#

even if they honestly took me 30 seconds at most, each

#

shouldn't be called "anti-cheat", it should be called "anti-performance"

bleak pike
#

@fading spade yesnt

#

Not anti cheat afaik

#

Drm is different

fading spade
#

Oohh

#

Was it drm?

#

My bad lol

#

sometimes I worry about humanities IQ

#

According to retail sources who told Polish publication PPE that the three-game collection will indeed receive a boxed release, but only the last-gen versions will arrive before Christmas.

PS4, Xbox One and Switch versions will release Physically on December 7, the site’s sources claim, with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S editions arriving sometime next year.

#

^ GTA: The Trilogy availability

novel umbra
#

Can't wait for people to be mad about them

feral ferry
#

So, physical release Dec 7, so something similar for the digital release I imagine

novel umbra
#

Not even availability

#

Wtf is the difference between the one version

#

And the series x version

#

8k support?

orchid prism
#

Probably something like that. Higher resolution (might be downscaled to be sharper) and just more processing power to ensure fewer framedrops.

novel umbra
#

if the xbox one has significant framedrops at 4k native

#

with those games

#

uhhh

#

would be sad

#

to say the least

orchid prism
#

They're remastered. Which can mean anything. pepeLaugh

#

Like keeping infinitely more in memory and rendering further away.

novel umbra
#

didn't they already confirm it is no major graphical overhaul

#

wouldn't expect much except better textures

orchid prism
#

And you're expecting them to port competently. blobsmilesweat2

novel umbra
#

ig

#

true

#

they might render the whole map

#

game jumps from 60 outside to 2000 indoors

#

odds they completely mess is up is high as well

trim rock
#

Nah they'll just keep the original framerate caps

novel umbra
#

prob

#

idk

#

maybe

#

maybe not

orchid prism
young hill
#

i do not think anybody asked for this

fringe salmon
#

so should they not add things to the store anymore and keep it as it is?

orchid prism
#

I mean... overlays almost universally mean lower FPS and usually aren't optional 😄

fringe salmon
#

I feel like basically nobody disables steam overlay

young hill
#

yeah but that one is useful

#

you can even use it with non-steam games

fringe salmon
#

back to the first question then, should they not add new things and keep everything as it is then? xD

#

Apparently this might indicate bunch of PS mobile titles might come to Apple's arcade or whatever that thing is

Although, I think mostly that is decided by the sales/marketing team not really head of the game development

But wait don't they already use EAC

nothing stops you from using both

fringe salmon
#

played the beta and thought it was shit kek

bleak pike
#

@fallow bronze aye, thankfully they made it harder

#

Ye normal mode was grade a shit in the beta

fringe salmon
#

ehh that wasn't really the issue I had with the game

bleak pike
#

Fair

fringe salmon
#

especially given it does come from the l4d makers it even is worse and feels more like a bad clone

bleak pike
#

I like it a lot

#

L4fd is just unplayable imo

fringe salmon
#

Multiple specials that share the same look and you can only know what it does by looking where the weakpsot is, or if it doesnt have one (also who thought a special with no weakspot is a good idea). Birds are inconsistent in if you trigger them or kill them before they sound alarm, many of the special ones have unavoidable hits unless at sniper distance and just a pain to deal with 1v1

trim rock
#

The beta didn't quite grab me but if I ever get game pass again I'll try it..
I don't know it just lacked something...

fringe salmon
#

the trauma damage thing is neither explained nor makes sense nor used in a good way, the first level of act 1 was buggy in beta still is buggy in release, a level where you are supposed to shot explosives to close tunnels sometimes doesnt have explosives so you need to fight an endless horde almost

#

like the worst part is that it has a lot of things that aren't super complicated to get right which makes it feel even worse bc those people did do a better job on a previous game

trim rock
#

Something something director deciding to make it harder for you since you had too easy of a time earlier... maybe

fringe salmon
#

heh sadly not, it's just a bad level

that game still has players?

did somebody say eft

maybe i went a bit crazy with elevating the items

just for some better storage

just hopper/dropper elevator

with observer clocks

unborn spruce
#

Right.

small comet

cause the enderperl farm is on y1

so i had to elevate the drops to store em better

there is no bullet sponge this time

so not much of an issue

barren pewter

they brought back the A.J.M.9????

#

no way

bleak pike
#

deluxe edition i think

barren pewter
#

tbh...they also put it in post-apocalyptic hope county, so having it in Cuba in all but name makes perfect sense

bleak pike
barren pewter
#

nothing but a load of shit

#

welp...I'll be sure to get that game once I complete my backlog of games

#

hopefully it releases on steam by then

bleak pike
#

It gets a bit slow tbh

#

It's a weird game

unborn spruce
#

@bleak pike What game is this?

#

Looks uber generic.

Ubisoft I think? Maybe?

barren pewter
unborn spruce
#

Ah ok.

barren pewter
#

honestly though

unborn spruce
#

Yes that does explain things.

barren pewter
#

it'll be a great time killer

#

like far cry games tend to be

unborn spruce
#

Feels so bad.

#

Ngl a better time killer is Mini Motorways.

#

That game is awesome.

barren pewter
#

hm

#

the game is a definite visual improvement over 5

#

the weapon variety is better

#

hm

#

yeah

#

might as well

small comet
#

wait for davy and his pirate friends

yarr

or wait for that particular game to board the steamboat

bleak pike
#

@barren pewterjust get the gamepass

#

i pay like 1 quid every few months LUL

barren pewter
#

I just have one issue with it, and I know this'll sound like some crotchy old fart

#

when I use gamepass, I don't "own" said game

bleak pike
barren pewter
#

which means if it leaves gamepass, I have to buy it

#

would rather just...have the game

bleak pike
#

i dont really give a shit ngl

barren pewter
#

👌

bleak pike
#

i have the gamepass basically all year for a few quid

barren pewter
#

for a few quid, yeah

#

I could justify not owning but simply being able to play

#

still...I am not you and I don't have the cool exploits to get gamepass for a few quid

#

and even then, considering how much I really play video games now...it ain't really worth it even then

bleak pike
#

dont need cool exploits, jut rotate multiple store acounts

barren pewter
#

sounds like a cool exploit to me

#

hm

#

actually

#

Cal

#

does FC6 support gamepad, mouse and keyboard input all at once?

#

better phrasing...does a wooting in analog mode make the game spaz out? dogekek

bleak pike
#

i have no clue

barren pewter
#

if you get the chance to, please try it

bleak pike
#

pay me

#

it prob wont work

barren pewter
#

well then... "it prob wont work" will do till I test it out myself

#

it's possible the "mixed input support" point is actually just:

#

"you can use either a controller or a keyboard and mouse; we won't lock you into one input or another"

bleak pike

oh shit

it works

just played the nier raid in 14 again and twitter showed me this relevant picture again kek

orchid prism
#

Copied Factory is... sure is a thing.

fringe salmon
#

nah that one is tame, the 3rd one is vvWhatSpin

#

especially with the confirmation those raids are canon content in the nier universe now

orchid prism
#

I've done factory once...and I'd like to never come back.

fringe salmon
#

really? by far my favorite raid series

orchid prism
#

Never played Nier so the entire theme means nothing to me. I also don't particularly find blind robot android girls in oversexualized clothing particularly interesting.

Oh and I particularly don't like bosses so large that I need to zoom my camera way in to see any tells it does.

#

Like...edgar... or whatever it was called.

fringe salmon
#

do you mean zoom out?

bleak pike
#

I can't get into nier

#

Just isn't my type of game

orchid prism
#

I'm a potat. Zooming out doesn't help.

#

Camera too low to ground xD

fringe salmon
#

I assume you meant that boss?

small comet
#

nier good game

orchid prism
#

Yes. That fucker xD

fringe salmon
#

so what you zoom in and and look from ground up?

#

you're telling me you need to zoom in to see if he has the left or right arm swining back O.o

orchid prism
#

Yes.

small comet
#

what

fringe salmon
#

uhh

#

are you sure you are not playing in like 6:19 format? xD

orchid prism
#

Nope.

fringe salmon
#

I am genuinely confused how you have to zoom in for this boss lol

orchid prism
#

Because zooming out makes it utterly impossible to see where -I- am in terms of fucking AOEs duh 😛

small comet
#

smh not being able to just tank them

#

and then die

#

and wait for rez

orchid prism
fringe salmon
#

uhh do you have party effects on fully?

orchid prism
#

Having other players spell effects doesn't make my tiny character any more or less visible. Having a tiny character with very zoomed out floor does however.

#

Makes it REALLY hard to tell if you're in or out.

fringe salmon
#

see usually I heard people that play as lalafell have an easier time to see if they are in a marker xD

orchid prism
#

Normally? At a NORMAL zoom level? Yes.

fringe salmon
#

have you done the other two raids from it?

orchid prism
#

Mnope.

#

Never planned to do it. 😛

small comet
orchid prism

take it apart, you mean?

orchid prism
#

Yeah - It needs some work to stay alive.

#
  1. The capacitor that keeps the system clock alive is notorious for leaking.

  2. If the factory harddrive dies before you've backed up encryption keys, it gets soft-bricked. Can only be fixed with a modchip.

fading spade
#

o.o

orchid prism
#
  1. The optical drive wears out hard. So a larger harddrive as part of 2 is a great idea. Make it boot games from the harddrive.

My first not portable console was the 360 Slim

orchid prism

The 360 is a pain to jailbreak 😄

before then, I had a gameboy and then got a Wii around the same time as the 360

orchid prism

You basically gotta install a chip that makes the console reset super, super fast until it bugs out and goes into safe mode. 😄

I played TF out of the Wii xd Had the balance board and that was more fun than it should have been LOL

What started as a viral meme became a life-size reality when we created the world’s first-ever, fastest, and most powerful Xbox Series X Fridge, a 6-foot, 400 pound, 1:1 scale replica of our beloved console. But we didn’t stop there. After an all-out Twitter war and battle of the brands, Xbox came out on top with your votes, so […]

#

Pricing is £90/$99

Only 12

oh the mini fridge is not a fridge

#

didnt see that part

#

I expect something that's called a fridge to be a fridge so with his comment I got confused then

bleak pike
#

I think it's a weird naming issue

#

For some reason mini fridges are not called coolers

#

Coolers just have cold temps via weird means

#

Actual fridges use coils etc

#

And can be used to store milk and other foods

I mean if it's 5c it's 5c. Coil or not 😄

One type of games that can be fun even or phone are mostly browser based long term strategies. Not many of them out there, but the ones where you can actually capture enemy land, win, but it can take months. Grepolis is and was great, and always had ton of active alliances. Just may take too much time.
Game like call of war is kinda similar just lot shorter and without much player communication. Issue is pay 2 win. If you have enough money you just get so many advantages in these games usually.

small comet

how about

#

# small comet ikariam

Idk. But grepolis was great in this sense. One game would end but last sometimes even half a year, you had 20-50 player alliances actually cooperating and talking every day, you could get a new city or capture one and completely wipe others off map. Units and buildings also worked really simply, same as attacks. But it was fun. Also night attacks being 50% weaker was nice, and all the planning that had gone into everything.

#

Valve have said that the SteamOS UI wont be on Windows, so you just start up into desktop and open regular steam and launch games that way

#

Which is ok

#

but not as polished and "one button" to launch the game like Valve intend

#

I want to know how they will deal with games that open their own launcher before the actual game opens.....

#

Like Elder Scrolls Online, Warframe or Borderlands

#

(nvm, Borderlands on Linux does not have the launcher, just opens right into the game)

trim rock
#

Pretty sure I heard that it's the new big picture interface

bleak pike
#

@feral ferry I hope its a decent remaster but j doubt

feral ferry
#

It's on Unreal engine

#

Rumour is, it's basically the original game

#

Some modern shading techniques applied

#

But it's the same old game on a modern engine

fading spade
#

Which is what a remaster is

feral ferry
#

Ehh

#

I mean, either they 1) Made it look next gen like Skyrim does after 100 ENBs and 8K parallax textures

#
  1. It's unoptimized af
bleak pike
#

Ite unreal engine???

feral ferry
#

Ye it's on Unreal 5 iirc

bleak pike
#

Where the fuck did ya hear that

feral ferry
#

That's literally the game engine it uses

#

It's confirmed

#

I'm just not sure if it's UE4 or 5

fringe salmon
#

4 and 5 are the same

bleak pike
#

Why do they make remasters in unreal engine

#

They always feel the same

feral ferry
#

Free, in theory?

fringe salmon
#

5 just has some new stuff that can be used but that was not even in beta when this would have started

bleak pike
#

Like nearly all unreal engine games just feel the same

fringe salmon
#

uhhhh

#

yeah if you use a default engine package thats true for unreal, unity, anvil etc.

fading spade
#

Insurgency Sandstorm feels nothing like the OG Insurgency ;-;

please tell me how borderlands and octopath traveler feel the same

Idk they just do

#

Irs hard to describe

fringe salmon
#

are you sure you are thinking about the correct game lol

bleak pike
#

OK not every game feels the same

#

But most do

#

You can just tell somehow

#

Like it's pretty easy to know a game is using unreal or not

#

The only game that surprised me really was BL and SoT

#

Maybe controls? Lighting? Idk

#

There's just always something

HE LEGIT LOGIC-ED HIS WAY INTO PREDICTING EXACTLY HOW THE STEAM DECK WILL WORK AND WHAT OS IT RUNS

bleak pike
#

The problem really is the switch is actually shit

#

Lol

fading spade
#

Yeah, the specs are shit but thats about it

#

The games and OS are solid

bleak pike
#

Even the games are shit in terms of tech

fading spade
#

in terms of tech
Huh?

bleak pike
#

In terms of performance cost

#

Most Nintendo games are light weight

#

Or look pretty toned down badly if it's a port

#

For example animal crossing

#

It's a nice game but you can see why it runs well

fading spade
#

A Hat In Time runs really well

#

and looks good

bleak pike
#

So shit wasn't the right word

fading spade
#

Just the loading times are slow

bleak pike
#

But low poly?

fading spade
#

If AHIT had better loading times on Switch, it would be prefect

#

The gameplay is perfect already

fringe salmon
#

I mean if you make a low poly game on unreal3 and it wouldn't run on the switch I would be very worried

bleak pike
#

But the steam deck is genuinely powerful

fading spade
#

Yep

bleak pike
#

And would smash any game on Nintendo if ported correctly

fading spade
#

OFC it will

bleak pike
#

And ofc being sold not for profits

fading spade
#

True, in terms of hardware sales for xboxs, MS dont make profits at all

#

But Valve need to make profit on their sales of Deck

fringe salmon
#

no

fading spade
#

yes..?

fringe salmon
#

no

fading spade
#

Most Deck buyers will be users of Steam already

fringe salmon
#

sure

fading spade
#

So, continued income from video game sales
Although, new people to Steam will bring in more since they probably wont install Windows on the Deck and just use Steam to buy and launch games

#

The only reason, so far that I see, to install Windows on Deck is to play games that need Origin or Uplay or Epic launchers.....
Unless Proton can somehow run those in a mini virtual popup window

feral ferry
#

I think there's a reason their games are now 80$ you know lul

young hill
fringe salmon
#

ok but you haven't really mentioned why you think steam deck needs to make profit

#

and as for sony games, that is not sony's decision that is on the game company/publisher

fading spade
#

And I dont think many Switch owners will buy a Deck since they are invested in the Nintendo games

#

Unless they also have a decent PC, then even less chance

fringe salmon
#

I mean to start with that is a assumption unless you can show me numbers that show they would not bring enough profit 😛

feral ferry
#

feral ferry

Last one I saw of this caliber was the CS:GO one

fading spade
#

Im trying to work out who will most likely buy a Deck
Exclusively Switch owner: doubt it
People with OP gaming PC: doubt it
People who like Linux: Possibly
People who like gaming laptops: Possibly

feral ferry
#

Anyone can just decide to buy the Deck

#

Switch owners aren't excluded from just wanting a handheld

fading spade
#

yeah, but the most common category of people

feral ferry
#

Console peasants or PC masterracers ain't either

fading spade
#

Console players might be into it, get PC games on the go

slim token
#

gonna buy it for controller capabilities

fringe salmon
#

ok so it's an assumption that you made with no numbers but that is irrelevant anyway

#

because valve doesnt need to sell it for profit

#

for one breaking even is an option, selling for a loss to widen a market and follow up with sales etc. is an option

ripe tendon
#

I don't see many PCMR people buying it but could definitely see Switch owners getting one

feral ferry
#

Especially since you can just run anything you want on it is a very compelling option ngl

young hill
ripe tendon
#

and I mean actual PCMR types not just people who own a gaming PC

feral ferry
#

Ngl I kinda want it for productivity

#

Just carrying a PC in my pocket

fringe salmon
#

then we are coming to the point that the steamdeck is basically just a side-business, given that the next Index is from what we know a standalone that is using the same chip

feral ferry
#

That sounds kinda pog, depends on the battery life

fringe salmon
#

so the steamdeck could literally just be a side thing that they made with being totally fine if nobody would by it and they just lose a little from it, as it is a mean to up the minimum order and cost for the chips

feral ferry
#

I mean if we are being totally real, like any Valve hardware, it's not going to become THE thing

#

But it'll defo get a decent following among a certain audience

#

Now I wonder what those other handheld PC companies are thinking of pulling off, since the big guys are in the industry

#

Like that Aya neo one
