[fading spade]

weird

OOOO IT CAN PLAY DS GAMES

I wanna get this

[small comet]

retroarch can play almost anything

idk why ud need a special os for it

just use debian or arch

for super thin

[fading spade]

I dont have the ROM files, IDK how to get the game off the card I have

Cause I have my MarioKartDS game card

[small comet]

with a reader or modded ds/3ds

or just download em

you go to google and search mariokart ds rom

[fading spade]

anywhere i find to download them looks dodgy AF and I dont trust it

[small comet]

and boom

[feral ferry]

Sigh

https://www.ziperto.com/

I download my Switch nsp's from here

So yeah you can trust this one

[small comet]

https://emuparadise.me/Nintendo_DS_ROMs/32

easiest

[feral ferry]

Also updated every day

Oh yeah emu paradise too

[fading spade]

Oh, Mario Kart is two words, not one....

[small comet]

for switch games i only trust the hbg google drive

[fading spade]

I swear it is MarioKart on the game itself

[feral ferry]

Yes?

[feral ferry]

I've been using ziperto for about a year now

[small comet]

also who downloads nsp files on 2021

[feral ferry]

It's really damn good to be fair

[feral ferry]

Cause screw xci?

[small comet]

nsz my boi

[fading spade]

o.o my access was removed from that drive

[feral ferry]

The hell is that

[small comet]

a year ago hbg went from 18tb nsp files to 6tb nsz files

rn its 6.5tb

so it compresses damn well

[feral ferry]

I don't really have a clue what that format is ngl

I just do nsp's

[fading spade]

That site you linked for Switch games, it links to another for NDS and is that one safe?

[small comet]

nsz is a compressed nsp

[fading spade]

www.gameginie.com

[small comet]

all emus and installers can read it

unless ure stuck on garbage like goldleaf

[unborn spruce]

Got a decent place to get em?

I just see heaps of XCIs and NSPs.

[small comet]

i have em all on my gdrive

[feral ferry]

Would you please use Ziperto, it has all game consoles under one site

[unborn spruce]

@fading spade Don’t listen to Vexx.

Just use anywhere.

Keep your antivirus up

[fading spade]

?

[unborn spruce]

And if you need to be paranoid just run shit in a VM.

[feral ferry]

The fuck

https://www.ziperto.com/

[fading spade]

👀

[feral ferry]

1 year ago

[fading spade]

and?>

[feral ferry]

Like ngl

[small comet]

well i have my private collection on disk

[feral ferry]

I've used it a shit ton

[small comet]

dont need those sites

[feral ferry]

And I scan every single upload

It's clean

If you don't trust it then fine what do I give a shit about

[fading spade]

If I could get my Wii and DS games off of the physical game card / disc, id be happy enough

[small comet]

u dont have a modded wii in 2021?

jebus

[unborn spruce]

@fading spade Bruh listen.

[fading spade]

Can Yuzu for Switch detect games if they are installed onto the Switch's SD card?

[small comet]

no

[fading spade]

damn it

[unborn spruce]

Just use any old piracy site, it isn’t that hard.

Hell, even use the sketchy ones, just throw it in a VM.

[feral ferry]

If Yuzu can't Ryujinx can

[small comet]

lana dm me google mail

[small comet]

no?

[unborn spruce]

^

Yuzu is by FAR the better emulator.

[feral ferry]

To be fair I ain't got a clue whatever her question was

But Ryu is improving, fast

[unborn spruce]

Yuzu is at the stage of fixing small incompatibility issues, Ryu isn’t even close to there.

One day it’ll probably keep up, but that won’t be for a while.

Not with Yuzu working so fast.

[small comet]

i use my switch to emulate switch games

[unborn spruce]

Y’know what fuck it.

Let’s all go back to GBA4IOS.

[small comet]

HOS on unifi switches when

[unborn spruce]

Fuck yeah.

I’ll buy an Antminer S19J Pro and play N64 games on it.

[small comet]

damn son

[unborn spruce]

Technically extreme calculator gaming.

[bleak pike]

So stupid the switch doesn't support steam link

[small comet]

eh

id say its kinda good

tbf they are limiting the attack angles this way

and the switch is solid af

ngl if nintendo hadnt had the initial boot chain issue with tegra we prob wouldnt have homebrew by now

[fading spade]

Is that why the 2019 revision isnt hackable?

cause they patched that?

[small comet]

2019?

psure the rev was 2020

[fading spade]

afaik it was 2019

Lite was 2020

[small comet]

damn actually 2018

but ya

the 2018 switches dont have the tegra flaw

[fading spade]

2019?

[orchid prism]

They changed the component.

[fading spade]

OOhhhhh

[small comet]

i checked and mariko was first roaming round in mid 2018

the only way to mod mariko units is hard modding

and that also only cause we had the initial flaw and know the system

[fading spade]

Im still tempted AF to get the Anbernic handheld

just to have something to play my DS games

[small comet]

ngl my goto emu is my switch

it can do all systems and switch games

[fading spade]

Doubt its powrful enough ti play Wii

[fading spade]

yeah cause you havea modded one xd

[small comet]

ye

i mean buy a second one

and chip it

easy

just dont buy a lite

[fading spade]

nu, I dont trust myself to install a freaking RGB light strip, not to mind mod a 300 device

[small comet]

thats why u send it to someone to mod it?

[fading spade]

you?

:P

[small comet]

no

fuck no

[fading spade]

thoughtso

[small comet]

mainly cause i dont have chips

well

i have 1

but saving that for when i need it

[fading spade]

TIL Super Mario 64 got a port to DS

Official port

[trail dove]

ayo wut

[barren pewter]

The master never seizes to throughly disgust me

That fucker is dying...again

High speech gang

[trail dove]

that's not nice, it probably hopefully wasn't his choice to look like that

[barren pewter]

Nope

It wasn't

He fell into a vat of FEV

[trail dove]

sounds fun

[barren pewter]

No

[trail dove]

is that New Vegas

[barren pewter]

No

Fallout

The original

[small comet]

new vegas lol

[trail dove]

well fuck

[barren pewter]

[small comet]

that is either f1 or f2

[feral ferry]

Unless you got a clue what you are doing, and I'm pretty sure Lana does not, don't mod it

[small comet]

cause 2d

[barren pewter]

F1

[small comet]

thats why i kater said u let someone else do it

[feral ferry]

At least new modchips are finally out

Still exp af

[small comet]

new modchips?

from who

[feral ferry]

Honestly easiest way is to just buy Eristas

[trail dove]

well I've only played 4 for like 3 hours so I don't know which fallouts are what, just heard that new vegas was good so took a guess

[feral ferry]

HWFLY

Quite a bit worse in quality and pale in comparison to SX ones

Price's also still ridiculous

Get an un-patched Erista, less hassle

[small comet]

why not use reswitched gerber files and make ur own modchip

[feral ferry]

Cause that's even more ways to fail?

[bleak pike]

Halo > new Vegas

[small comet]

reswitched isnt even the name frick

rebug

https://github.com/Aboshi/SwitchME

also pls dont use sxos

no matter how u mod ur switch

[feral ferry]

Dat, is true

SX hardware is sick

Software.. unreliable

Mainly for the lack of updates

[small comet]

the only feature sxos has that u cant get on atmos (which is what sxos uses as a base anyway) is xci mounting from a usb-c storage device

that and the fact sxos hardbricked switches for invalid licenses once upon a time

and valid licenses if u were lucky enough

[orchid prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hloHo7cLZfY

I love these mods so much. And I never played DS 😄

[fading spade]

wtf is link's walking animation in Majora's Mask?!? :')

im crying xd

[bleak pike]

Just finished halo Reach again

Remember Reach

[wheat kraken]

@fading spade what's wrong with link's walking animation? I've played MM before and i don't remember anything weird

[fading spade]

when hes deku link

[young hill]

Too bad master chief will not, he was frozen

[young hill]

Game of the year is finally out

[fading spade]

I really dislike the PlayStation 3 like UI that RetroArch uses

[young hill]

Is there no way to customize it?

[fading spade]

not the UX AFAIK

only the theme

you can change the style of the console and game selection screens though but not the system UI itself

Seems thats ArkOS may be a better option than the modified EmuELEC this device comes preinstalled with

[fading spade]

Anyone here play Burnout Paradise Remastered on Switch?
Its on sale with 60% off and im debating it

[ripe tendon]

Not on Switch but played the fuck out of it on 360 back in the day. Solid fun

[fading spade]

Good game then?

[fading spade]

ASSER

[orchid prism]

Why be an Asset when you can be an asser

[fading spade]

Exactly!

[trim rock]

Comic Sans

Explains it all really

[fading spade]

This is GPD btw!

The compact gaming device people

[feral ferry]

Way to shame one of the most popular handheld PC makers

[unborn spruce]

This looks weirdly uncomfortable.

[fading spade]

ive only seen their gaming devices

[feral ferry]

So, a handheld PC

Cause that's literally what it is

[fading spade]

This is android powered, so its like a phone with one side of a controller built in

but the games dont use the controller for some reason so the controls are still shown on the screen

so you got to download third party software to get the controller to work

[feral ferry]

I'm pretty sure that thing's running a Ryzen

[unborn spruce]

Probably because no game is designed to use something so asinine.

[feral ferry]

You can install Win11 or shit

[fading spade]

not this one

This android only

[feral ferry]

If it runs Ryzen it can prolly Windows

[fading spade]

Is not Ryzen

Heli G95

[feral ferry]

Ah the Arm ones

Well, it can still probably Windows

[fading spade]

WINDOWS ON ARM

FUCK THAT :')

[feral ferry]

That exists though

It ain't great, but it works

[unborn spruce]

Bruh.

If we're running Windows on ARM then we may as well just make a calculator supercomputer and run Windows on that.

https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/texas-instruments-graphing-calculator-ti-84-plus-ce-te84plcetb

Let's go lads, 8 thousand of these fuckers.

TI-84 Supercomputer.

If it can do graphs it can do OS.

[orchid prism]

Aka. the scummy review guys

[fading spade]

hm?

[orchid prism]

We "might" refund your "review sample" if your video is popular enough. But we won't promise anything"

[fading spade]

o.o

[unborn spruce]

Lmfao what?

I'm gonna need some further explanation on this one.

[orchid prism]

Mhmm. They don't hand out review samples directly. They will refund you, if you hit certain metrics after the review is posted.

[unborn spruce]

Fucking.

CRINGE.

[orchid prism]

Which I hope everyone can tell kind of puts a lot of pressure on channels to say good things, to hopefully get their money back on money spent on it 😄

[fading spade]

May need to buy two SD cards for the RG351P Im getting
One for 351ELEC and one for ArkOS

Cause they both seem amazing OSs

[orchid prism]

Also severely limits smaller and more unique/independent reviewers from chiming in. It's usually just Linus and folks like him.

[unborn spruce]

I don't suppose you wanna send me a set of 3080Tis to review.

[fading spade]

I heard a lot of people buying one of the newer GPD devices and the SSD, Controllers or something else important was broken on arrival

[orchid prism]

[unborn spruce]

GPD standing for...

What?

[fading spade]

Not sure

just the brand name

[unborn spruce]

HOLY FUCK.

Gaming laptop indeed.

[orchid prism]

They're chinese. Might literally just be "GPD" with no deeper meaning.

Ah. Found it. It's... really bad 😄

GamePad Digital

[fading spade]

ooh

[unborn spruce]

Yeah goddamn.

How to spot the low effort company.

[fading spade]

but they dont make digital gamepads

[unborn spruce]

Y'know, other than LOOKING AT THOSE HINGES! WOO!

Looks like it'll break with a slight breeze.

Sheeeeeeeeeesh.

Which professional anywhere uses something like this professionally?

[fading spade]

No!

[trim rock]

The people in the ads

[fading spade]

:')

[feral ferry]

Celerons in 2021?

Wtf

[unborn spruce]

But what exactly is Change Lamp?

[fading spade]

Ireland still sells Celeron laptops with 768p screens and 4gb ram for €500

[unborn spruce]

I personally buy Celerons but only of the 8th generation variety.

[fading spade]

o?

[unborn spruce]

MSI B360-F Pro.

Those work nicely with Celeron G4000 series.

[feral ferry]

Time to change your USB ports

Bio-degradable circuitry

[fading spade]

ooo, 351ELEC Pineapple Forest update looks really great

https://youtu.be/Sh5W7vw9Lqc

[orchid prism]

Charge Indicator LED. In case you weren't kidding 😄

[unborn spruce]

Oh c'mon my guy.

[fading spade]

Nah, they are telling you that the LED is blown and needs to be replaced

[unborn spruce]

I may appear like an idiot at times, but that's a stretch even for me.

That website is great tho.

It really reads like someone threw the Chinese format through Google Translate.

[fading spade]

ooo, you can run Half Life on this thing using PortMaster

Half Life on a tiny ass handheld

oh boiz

[unborn spruce]

[fading spade]

Steam Deck is 6 hundred and nice grams

[fading spade]

Deck Dock!

[fallow bronze]

its a pc

[trim rock]

Oh really?

[fallow bronze]

yes! what you can connect ro a pc, very most likely you can connect to a steamdeck!1!

[fringe salmon]

almost like the U in USB stands for something.. but I cant think of it..

[trim rock]

What will they think of next?!

[fading spade]

just realised the Deck may be able to properly emulate Wii and DS games

especially DS games that require touchscreen

Have an SD Card running retroArch and all the games :D

Keep SteamOS installed on the main storage

[fallow bronze]

i might dual boot it.. because of gamepass

[small comet]

[fading spade]

Witcher 3: Game of the Year is on sale for €10

[novel umbra]

Right one seems outright better

Runs N64 and HL1

[fading spade]

left also runs n64...with mixed results

[novel umbra]

What is the actual upside on the left one though

[fading spade]

Its still being maintained

[novel umbra]

So?

[fading spade]

ArkOS is dead for this device now

its based on Ubuntu, it wont upgrad to the new base

[novel umbra]

Yea but what would the upgrade give you

Just being newer is no advantage

[fading spade]

tbf, the only time itll be connected to wifi is when I wanna check for updates or scrape new game info

cause I dont want to keep a usb wifi dongle on my device 24/7

[fading spade]

That's a sentence I'd never expect to see
But I'm very happy that I am

I love this arch Linux based gaming handheld

[barren pewter]

you didn't know?

SteamOS was always arch based iirc

my bad

[fading spade]

Nope
It was debian based

[barren pewter]

this one is on arch, previous was debian

[fading spade]

Ye

[barren pewter]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/813141717003272212.png?size=48

all distros are the same flavour of unusable to me

[fading spade]

Maybe backporting all these new drivers was too much hassle
So they went with arch which already has the newest everything you ever want

[barren pewter]

also helps that they only need to get one piece of hardware really running on it

benefit of consoles with regards to proprietary software

[fading spade]

Valve is analyzing the most-played titles of games for those who have reserved a Steam Deck.

[barren pewter]

[fading spade]

Hmm

[barren pewter]

welp

[fading spade]

So there is extra telemetry activated for those who pre-order

Interesting

[barren pewter]

I can't wait for fallout 2 to get steam deck approved

[fringe salmon]

why would it be extra telemetry when it's basically public info

[barren pewter]

oh

and industria

[fading spade]

I've mostly been playing Distance
Which already runs 100% on Linux and full controller support

[barren pewter]

an indie game made by 2 people

[fading spade]

I've also modded Distance

On Linux

Custom server death messages

[barren pewter]

try modding minecraft on linux

[fading spade]

I have

[barren pewter]

I only know one guy batshit crazy enough to do it for fun

[fading spade]

I do it in like 5 minutes

[barren pewter]

Pinch

[barren pewter]

try modding new vegas

I don't even know if it runs well on linux to begin with

[fading spade]

I make a new Minecraft folder: .mcSnap
Download forge jar file
Install forge by running said jar file

Open launcher
Edit the forge profile to use .mcSnap folder

Launch forge profile
Exit
Dump mods into . mcSnap/mods
Launch forge profile

Done

Two of those steps are optional

Don't need to make a new folder

I just wanna be organized

[bleak pike]

um we aint using forge

@fading spade you can run the installer

https://fabricmc.net/use/?page=installer

itll make a profile

[fading spade]

I was explaining how to mod Minecraft on Linux

[bleak pike]

id just use multimc for linux

[fading spade]

meh

[young hill]

weekly challenges seem to be a bit better too hurah

[bleak pike]

still not a fan

every match should feel rewarding regardless

50xp is a complete joke

Reach is the only game i can get behind

i also dont like the mcc for it

i wish infinite mp was not f2p

[young hill]

I guess yeah some of the issues become of it being a service based game

I am sure they can eventually improve it

[bleak pike]

I legit don't get why people have such a boner for Nintendo

[young hill]

that is a lot of money for a mobile optimized game

[barren pewter]

I only have a boner for you rn

😳

[orchid prism]

Because there's such a concept as a used market. 😄

[bleak pike]

XD ye a totally reasonable market

[orchid prism]

Who the hell uses eBay for that anyhow.

[young hill]

I guess there is Facebook marketplace, sometimes good stuff

[barren pewter]

I tried selling a jar of my cum on FB marketplace

[bleak pike]

I don't have Facebook and I can't sort by sold

[barren pewter]

no one bought it

[young hill]

Saw a hololens on there for $200

Sadly someone buy it

Also wooting keyboards are on there too

[orchid prism]

Also - I could argue the same for either of the new consoles. Prices are the same 😛

[young hill]

For reasonable prices

[barren pewter]

well

I just need to know one thing about SteamOS

MO2 work on it?

actually, no

half of the shit for NV modding is .exe

[bleak pike]

What is m02

[barren pewter]

Mod Organiser 2

[bleak pike]

Ye nodding is difficult on Linux

[barren pewter]

for modding games, but not using vortex because vortex is a piece of shit

[bleak pike]

But doable

[young hill]

Better than throwing stuff in a folder

[bleak pike]

Never had an issue with vortex

Or I still call it nexus

[young hill]

Me neither, helps keep Skyrim mods organized and updated

[bleak pike]

Then again I don't mod shitty games

[barren pewter]

F:NV is the greatest game of all time

don't believe me?

stick your finger in your ass

eat it

that's every other game compared to F:NV

[bleak pike]

It's not that I don't believe you

It's just you're wrong

[barren pewter]

impossible

my latest update ensures I never am

thank you Bexin

[slim token]

so the better mc launcher is?

[unborn spruce]

MultiMC.

[feral ferry]

OI

Skyrim is best game of all time

Skyrim's collectors edition made all future collectors not shit

Which is why I actually am hunting for a collectors edition set

[fallow bronze]

are you looking for an android gaming handheld? i thought you had a powerful phone?

[ashen lark]

Minecraft launcher is superior

[ashen lark]

For me, it’s on par between Minecraft, Skyrim, LiS and South of the circle

Can’t decide which is better

[small comet]

no

[fading spade]

I have a 730G
Xd

Also , fuck using Android on an emulation device

[young hill]

I think the only way they can do that is just creating a large free battle pass for everyone that is separate and might last forever(just gets more content added on to), but base on medals and match performance.

[clear parrot]

H:I's battle pass(es) already last for forever if I'm not mistaken.

[ripe tendon]

Also takes an insane amount of time to unlock everything unless you buy levels

[unborn spruce]

This is the evidence pointing toward your lack of brain powah.

<brain_power.mp4>

[ashen lark]

Nope, evidence of being open minded for sure

Or indecisive

[unborn spruce]

Definitely unsmart.

But no really, MultiMC is by far the best launcher that exists.

Nothing comes close.

[bleak pike]

@fading spade snapdragon is shit tho

[orchid prism]

Permanent compilation of modpacks when.

[feral ferry]

Wrong

Snapdragon's pretty dank

[fallow bronze]

only sith blablabla

[feral ferry]

Especially with the new RDNA2 it'll wreck Apple's SoC

Like it's far better than Kirins imho

And I'd rather have Snap than Exynos

[bleak pike]

https://youtu.be/Tua7aK6Y7NY

[fallow bronze]

snapdragons are the best non apple silicon arm cpus :p

[bleak pike]

Fucking finally

Holy shit

Took then forever

[fringe salmon]

snapdragon is a brand arguing about if they are shit or good overall makes no sense

[bleak pike]

OK their tech is shit

[fallow bronze]

compared to what?

[fringe salmon]

ok same thing they use ARM, is arm shit? if they are to bad why are they still better than most exynos chips etc.

[feral ferry]

You could claim Adreno is shit

[novel umbra]

ah is that finally coming out

[feral ferry]

But not for much longer

[fringe salmon]

any snapdragon soc so far could be trash and the next one could be good

[novel umbra]

so uhhh

[fringe salmon]

anyway wrong channel for this

[novel umbra]

did the game get any worthwhile content updates since the announcment?

[bleak pike]

OK their tech is not shit its just not impressive anymore

[feral ferry]

What is impressive then?

[fallow bronze]

jesus christ

[novel umbra]

I mean

can I even play it when it comes out

is the question

or am I content locked

[feral ferry]

8cx should be pretty sick SoC

[fallow bronze]

from "it is shit" to its not impressive, why didnt you start with that?

[novel umbra]

behind doing like 15 random ass missions again

like with steel path etc

[bleak pike]

Because quin

[fringe salmon]

still makes no sense

it's like saying AMD is shit and that could be true or wrong if we look at latest CPUs or at fucking bulldozer

[fallow bronze]

i guess pleasant is angry at something

armchair psychologist

[novel umbra]

"AMD uses more power" is the worst one I have heard recently

[feral ferry]

• Intel 11th and 12th gen apologetics

[unborn spruce]

Can't fathom using Intel atm.

[bleak pike]

Idk they just aren't making much progress and to make a portable console is laughable, ye sure the quest is using them and its cool and all but arm is in such a crazy place rn

The whole razer x qualcomm thing

[fallow bronze]

if you need a space heater all year round AND a fast cpu, its a good choice!

[fringe salmon]

it's literally not even an existing chip, why base it on anything BUT the performance it will have

[bleak pike]

[feral ferry]

They are making a ton of progress

[fringe salmon]

this literally the same as saying Zen cant be good because its from AMD

[feral ferry]

Their graphical processor is getting a massive redesign

[unborn spruce]

Make crypto miner. Name me another heater that pays your electricity bills.

[bleak pike]

Dope

[feral ferry]

And the CPU design is largely tied to ARM's progress

[bleak pike]

I'm very interested to see where arm goes

Arm is genuinely crazy rn

Am very excited

Especially after apples recent stuff

[unborn spruce]

When LEG.

[feral ferry]

Personally I don't see Apple doing well in the long run

I think they hopped into the market at the right time to innovate

But they'll choke imo

[fallow bronze]

i always wondered if apple's m1 performce gains are just because of its 5nm advantage? 🤔

[bleak pike]

Long run who knows but they sure as hell blew me away

[unborn spruce]

Everyone excited for ARM instead of LEG, feels bad.

LEG good.

[bleak pike]

I'm still shocked with the M1 max and pro ngl

[fringe salmon]

yes and no, they make use of it but as you see with the M1 pro/max they then couldn't improve on it on the same node

[bleak pike]

Though bexin having issues every 2 min on Minecraft

[fringe salmon]

also it's a lot easier to get something very specific for one usecase instead of going from mobile chips to 64core server chips

when you dont need to add any legacy compatibility etc.

[tough jay]

It's an architecture optimized for lower power and performance.
At the cost of die space, it's pretty large considering the node.

[young hill]

By battle pass I meant it can be called whatever I would assume battle pass seems that is the lingo going around. Essentially it would be similar to old customization that is there forever and have a plethora of options which can be added to over time if they feel generous.

[clear parrot]

Oh, like the default credit system in H:R?

[young hill]

Sorta

But probably smaller

So money can be made

[bleak pike]

I much prefer reach and irs progression

And also fuck 343i

[young hill]

I feel like reach was slow

When I played it several times did not get much out of it

[bleak pike]

Not adding cosmetics for high end activities

[young hill]

They are looking for feedback

Probably will have to submit some.

[young hill]

That would be nice too, like some LASO items

Progression up the ranks was at least fixed for the current battle pass. So they are on the right path.

[bleak pike]

@young hill it's just hit me

Halo is only 7 and a bit days away

[slim token]

not after this entire account migration crap

[bleak pike]

Idk how it was before

Last time I used it was 1.2

[ashen lark]

Still allows me to stay on Java without issues. Just sometimes it is loading a bit longer but bet that’s caused by M1

[young hill]

Indeed very exciting

Hoping they give the option to preload on steam

[bleak pike]

I’m using game pass xD

[young hill]

Well they did let you do something with that I remember

Not sure if that was for campaign or multiplayer though guessing multiplayer

Anyways would be nice to be able to play day one

[bleak pike]

@young hill all ms games go to game pass

[young hill]

I am aware

I just mean my internet is slow

[orchid prism]

They don't all include DLC though... sadly.

[young hill]

And would be nice to download beforehand

[bleak pike]

Doesn't bother me, I rarely play dlc :p

[young hill]

What ones

I think Microsoft flight simulator has them on gamepass

[fading spade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UX2LhXME3DQ

portable

yeah, sure it is

Only need the power brick and cable and the chonky boi console

and the power cable for the monitor too

[young hill]

Anybody up for some Halo: Infinite tonight?

[barren pewter]

honestly

sure

in a bit though

not now

busy

[young hill]

Ace combat 7(deleted due to wanting to link reply)

That game is so big

Like it is expected

Cuz you know literal bing maps for the game environment

I do find it wild the download in the windows store

Is just the installer ._.

I could barely even get off the ground after downloading it

So many buttons, switches, levers and other information

Guessing it is the peak simulator?

Yeah fps was quite sad in it

[fading spade]

Does the Witcher 3 DLC really take 50 hours+ to play through like the steam page says?

[bleak pike]

Depends

[orchid prism]

Let me put it this way - If you somehow managed to drag yourself through the basegame, the DLC won't feel like long in comparison xD

You've already been converted.

[fading spade]

👀

[bleak pike]

I'm a controller god

[barren pewter]

OMG

I never thought I'd say this

but...Cal

that's the best controller gameplay I've ever seen

xD

[fading spade]

I really need to retrain myself with a controller before getting my Steam Deck

cause Im so shit at them now

[slim token]

just retrain with the deck

force you to use it more

[fading spade]

Fair point

[ornate cedar]

.

[fading spade]

But thats a literal 10 months away

;-;

big sad

[fading spade]

O.o

[young hill]

Nail in coffin it seems

[fading spade]

whats wrong with OG titanfall?

[young hill]

Instead of fixing the issues just completely evading it

[fading spade]

is this a popover notification?

[young hill]

Nothing amazing game, loved it. Sure not really any story done well.

Nah

My notification tray

[fading spade]

ooh ok...

so much whitespace

dark space in this case

[young hill]

Yeah aka android 12

Let us make everything bigger

And also leave a bunch of space

[fading spade]

I wanna get the 6A once its out cause im so fucking sick of MIUI

[young hill]

More annoying this crap

[bleak pike]

It was literally unplayable

[young hill]

I only get titles now

[fading spade]

🤔

[bleak pike]

Lana

Tf1

[fading spade]

hm?

[bleak pike]

Titanfall 1 was literally unplayable

[young hill]

Only cuz dumbasses hacked it

[bleak pike]

Cheaper to not fix it

[fading spade]

o?

I thought the hack was done to TF2?

[young hill]

And ruined game and then respawn did not want do anything more for it

[bleak pike]

Tf2 was just a second part

And minor

Titanfall 1 they got major access and literally killed the servers

[young hill]

It was done to both

[fading spade]

o

[bleak pike]

Made it impossible to play

[fading spade]

is it safe to reinstall TF2?

[bleak pike]

Not on the same scale @young hill

[barren pewter]

so...funny story

[young hill]

I probably would not

[barren pewter]

my boiz and I were playing FH4

I was racing a lego car

😎

[fading spade]

:')

[young hill]

That would make sense, but I would like at least to play with friends for example on a ptp server

[bleak pike]

Imagine playing fh4

[fading spade]

One of the story missions, had to drive a delivery van and it was faster than most of the cars I own in that game.....

[barren pewter]

I don't need to

I just

do

:P

[fading spade]

same :')

[young hill]

Heck now will not be able to play it in VR anymore probably

[barren pewter]

seriously though

the lego cars are awesome

:D

[bleak pike]

Aye

They'll prob return to fh5

[barren pewter]

so excited for that

seriously though

the lego bugatti Chiron

[young hill]

...

[bleak pike]

I can't get fh5 working with steam link

[barren pewter]

[young hill]

I mean it looks alright

[bleak pike]

I csnt really make an opinion

Irs rather um

Blury

And I already need glasses

[young hill]

Weird

I thought by now you would have some

[bleak pike]

I do but they are shit

[young hill]

Oh

[bleak pike]

The person who did my eyes and shit was a bully

Couldn't deal with him gaslighting me so I left with shit glasses xd

[fringe salmon]

wtf kinda terrible doctors do you have

[barren pewter]

is a bigger photo

[young hill]

I am sorry Doge but why do not just play Lego game instead

[bleak pike]

Private local place xD

[fringe salmon]

or is the uk one of the places where you dont get the eye doctor to give you the glasses prescription?

[barren pewter]

[bleak pike]

You go to a place that has an eye doctor yes

[barren pewter]

still waiting on lego star wars skywalker saga to release

[bleak pike]

But it's all private etc

[barren pewter]

and for racing

lego cars are in forza

so...forza

[bleak pike]

Usually small local companies and some big ones

[fringe salmon]

but still an actual medial degree doctor and not just someone doing the glasses?

[barren pewter]

optometrists don't need MDs?

[young hill]

Are there not any stores that have eye exams available?

[bleak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-agree-yup-nod-gif-14017499

Doesn't mean he wasn't an asshole

[ornate cedar]

Optometry is bachelor or mastersdegree i think

[bleak pike]

I'll be going to a different place when I can either afford It or when my voucher renews (you get funding every two years to help pay)

[fringe salmon]

ídk the technical terms, here you go to an eye doctor who would also be the person you go to that would do treatments but I know america for example it's normal that the person who sells the glasses also does your eye test

[bleak pike]

Oh

Then not eye doctor

[fringe salmon]

ok thats what I thought

[ornate cedar]

If you need to go to the eye doctor you have something severe going on

[bleak pike]

But does all the eye testing, your vision etc

[fringe salmon]

yea, needing glasses for example

just for the reason they dont have any financial interest in selling you new glasses ever

[bleak pike]

First time in my life I've gone in as a customer and come out as a bloody victim

https://tenor.com/view/hide-gif-5346857

[ornate cedar]

Optometrist here can even give you medicine, or atleast eye droplets to do something about the eye infection

Some yellowish liquid

[bleak pike]

Couldn't deal with it, he was awful and wouldn't listen to me, he kept calling me a liar when I got stressed out when he asked which one looks better etc

Then he kept telling me which one was better

[fringe salmon]

buy em online next time then

[bleak pike]

Well no cos I need to know what lenses I need

Lol

I don't have my old one

So that's why I had to re test :/

Rn I can't afford it

I think it's like £150 min cost

[fringe salmon]

to test your eyes?????

[barren pewter]

bruh

[ornate cedar]

Why would it help to call you a liar in those tests? Stress is one way to distort your vision

[barren pewter]

the optometrist I go to is literally top tier

probably hundreds of thousands in diagnostic equipment

and he doesn't even charge 200 CAD for his services

[ornate cedar]

Full eye diagnostic for lenses was free lmao

[fringe salmon]

^

tf are you paying for

[barren pewter]

europeen socialists

fuckin commies

/s

[bleak pike]

Test and lenses with a dirt cheap frame

Testing is £45

[fringe salmon]

you seriously have to pay that much for them having you look at letter through different lenses...

[barren pewter]

to be fair, that's only half the battle

[ornate cedar]

There was like a 10 eur charge if you would not order anything 🤷 I mean you are checking your eye completely for a reason

[barren pewter]

they should also do imaging to ensure that his eyes are actually healthy before assessing vision

of course

the UK is great at half assing things

[ornate cedar]

Still nothing considering they pretty much checked anything that can go wrong with my eye

[fringe salmon]

which is another reason why I'm so confused it's not done at an actual doctors place lmao

[ornate cedar]

I litterly got it done at the store

[bleak pike]

It's all done at stores here

[ornate cedar]

Service is free, if you are a customer

[fringe salmon]

if I'd need new glasses I'd go to the doc and if I'd go the cheap route buy them online with the values I get for idk, 50-60 bucks

[barren pewter]

🤨

bruh

[fringe salmon]

no wonder brexit was coming when uk is already half us

[ornate cedar]

Many opticians will do the basic test for free

[bleak pike]

One of the big companies here

[barren pewter]

I went to an optometrist, he ran his tests, wrote me a prescription
I handed my prescription to another optometrist at the glasses store

[bleak pike]

I really should have just stuck with them

[barren pewter]

picked a suitable frame, lenses, got em fitted in 2 weeks

[bleak pike]

But I stuck to a local business as I'd have to travel to go specsavers

[barren pewter]

isn't that how it's supposed to be done?

[bleak pike]

I have a frame tbf

[ornate cedar]

I went to the store, they told me everything I needed to know and any issue can be resolved the same day

😆

[barren pewter]

UK is a shithole

[bleak pike]

Ur mum is a shithole

[barren pewter]

...

Cal

bro

[bleak pike]

No

[barren pewter]

that's just mean

[bleak pike]

Idc

[barren pewter]

I just want you to know that it hurt my feelings

;-;

[bleak pike]

Good

[ornate cedar]

When I started wearing lenses they checked the eye like every week pretty much for a month. Switched type of lens twice because slight irritation and 'sticking' was noted 🤷 only payed like 20 to 30 eur for the whole ordeal

[young hill]

Sounds more affordable than glasses

[bleak pike]

Disposal are cheaper

But more costly overall

Long term

[ornate cedar]

Disposables are significantly costlier

[barren pewter]

not in my experience, considering I'd need to buy 2 different types of lenses and wear em each and every day

my right eye barely works and my left...kinda sorta does?

[bleak pike]

What bothers me unless I pay a bunch my lenses are weird xD

One is insanely thick and the other is thin xD xD xD

[barren pewter]

[ornate cedar]

Biggest consideration is infection risk and possible incompatibility due to some protein forming

[barren pewter]

yeah

that's just weird

I'd rather wear glasses, thank you very much

that and I got reasonably nice frames

so...

yeah

not some cheap ass plastic shit

[bleak pike]

I spent like £100+ on frames once

They lasted me 5 years

[ornate cedar]

Polycarbonate is typically used for glasses nowadays

[bleak pike]

Till I couldn't reuse

[ornate cedar]

glass is a little brittle

[barren pewter]

thing is

I grossly overspent on my frames

[bleak pike]

My more recent ones only cost me £30

They lasted me 4 years

[barren pewter]

they don't even sell em anymore...interesting

but...

they're Emporio Armani frames

over 300 CAD, and worth every penny because they're pretty robust

[bleak pike]

I just don't care anymore

I don't wear them 24/7

[ornate cedar]

Glasses for me have enormous visual distortion for me. Lenses dont do any chromatic seperation

Takes a few days to get used to

[barren pewter]

for me....idk

[ornate cedar]

and the brain tends to cancel the effect mostly away

[barren pewter]

the one thing I don't like about my glasses is that I don't have peripheral vision anymore

[ornate cedar]

I have like -5

[fossil solar]

Onions for glasses

[young hill]

Well they will be good for one thing

Funerals when it is time to cry

[fossil solar]

Micro dosing onion gas to not cry next time I cut onions

[ornate cedar]

When you accidentally release the chlorine gas instead 😈

[bleak pike]

Hey that's my pair

[barren pewter]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/813141716772585493.png?size=48

[bleak pike]

My lens is 3/4 the size of the front part

[young hill]

At a certain point those probably become contact lenses

[bleak pike]

On one side

Thic boi

[fossil solar]

Professor farnsworth?

[bleak pike]

My left eye is well and truly fucked

[barren pewter]

remove it then

/s

[young hill]

How did that happen?

[fossil solar]

Become Nick fury

[bleak pike]

How did what happen?

Having a fucked eye?

[young hill]

How is one so bad to that point

[barren pewter]

Quake Pro FOV be like

[bleak pike]

Like everything, cos the world hated me.

[barren pewter]

[barren pewter]

the world doesn't hate you

it simply threw you many more curveballs than most

[young hill]

So just born that way is the implication...

[bleak pike]

Ye I have a few things

Eg rugby ball shit which I know is pretty commonb

It I close my left eye my vision is pretty good

If I have both it's not great

If I close right and look everything shakes, hurts and is vkury

Bkry

Bluey

Blurh

Blury

See xD

Also everything repeats

[fading spade]

OMFH I WANT THIS THEME https://gbatemp.net/download/zero-two-darling-in-the-franxx-theme.35827/updates

[fading spade]

I appreciate Valve being not biased towards their own games when giving them a Deck Verified rank

[young hill]

Kinda wild to see full priced games on a mobile console

[fading spade]

(Switch)

[young hill]

But at least here it is the offical full game experience

That can be used on multiplatform

[young hill]

Switch is honestly like a headache locked in games which probably look fine but they are full price like bruh

[fading spade]

I really like the suspend feature on the Switch :D

You can be in a game, lock the Switch and come back hours later and the game is still where you left it

[young hill]

Eventually will come to PC

Or at least windows

[fading spade]

yeah.....

thats the issue

"at least windows"

[young hill]

Well it is based on the OS

Not really the game

Yes a game could be like hades

[fading spade]

Isnt the Switch OS based on BSD?

[young hill]

No idea

[fading spade]

Valve also want to tie putting the Deck to sleep with autosyncing the game to the cloud x

[young hill]

Probably could work for them

[fading spade]

[feral ferry]

That looks like Dyson Sphere thing

Which is, in some cases, far superior to either factorio or most definitely satisfactory

[novel widget]

there no incinerator?

[novel umbra]

hard disagree

[orchid prism]

Dyson is great. Not looking forward to them adding enemies though.

[novel umbra]

eh

depends on how they implement them exactly ig

Hahaha.... BF2042's getting the season pass treatment.

They've already shown off a ton of weird ass skins and costumes that are as far from BF as you can get 😄

[novel umbra]

not quite true btw

he just got a ban from the livery editor

which is still bs imo

[ornate cedar]

you like red dot sights?

[orchid prism]

Wasn't it just a ban from sharing his skins with others?

[ornate cedar]

-cod

[young hill]

That is interesting banning from a single section

[novel umbra]

ah might has been as well

is like third hand information at this point

Halo is coming to destiny

[orchid prism]

ew

[unborn spruce]

@bleak pike When exactly?

[fringe salmon]

blizzard putting up WoW PTR the day of endwalker maintenance just so they have a chance to get players on

[bleak pike]

For the anniversary

It was in the leaks

And I've been waiting so long

One thing they already said was an iconic helmet from bungies past

[unborn spruce]

Mmmmm.

[young hill]

I agree

[small comet]

ew destiny

[young hill]

Now @bleak pike you cannot say they are not guardians

Anyways sucks the Yori event is continuing in January

I get campaign will release this month but not everyone is in to play it and I probably will finish it in a less than a month on legendary

Probably could have finished the season pass as well

[bleak pike]

I don't like it that much :p

[young hill]

[orchid prism]

I still can't look at a fucking Chandelier without hearing her annoying song xD

[fringe salmon]

ohhh that song

aight fair LMAO

[bleak pike]

Means you should stop playing

[orchid prism]

I haven't played her music ever. So no worries about that 😛

[fringe salmon]

nah he's just jealous because he didnt make it past ARR

[orchid prism]

He will never know the hell that is listening to RIDIIIIING HOOOOOOOME

I think my new favourite analogy to the game is: You are making a massive fucking domino picture and ARR is you setting up the stones which can take a while and isn't the best but man, what a payoff

[bleak pike]

Haha

You ain't wrong
