They are using those but idk what it does

ornate cedar
#

thonk Sounds like something that might be riddled with a lot of bugs. Especially if you would be able to change the tickrate it on the fly

#

Simple > complex

fringe salmon
#

uhh to keep it simple it's a system in unity to better manage/load/unload assets

unique bane
#

So probably something to do with making the game zoneless and load areas on the fly?

fringe salmon
#

it's part of it yea

unique bane
#

Ya, I guess it's that, they went from zone based design to zoneless a while ago

ornate cedar
#

Oh the culling of objects that are not seen by the player?

fringe salmon
#

no

ornate cedar
#

Only loading objects that might be seen by players ? (from the server persepctive)

fringe salmon
#

yes that, very scam link

bleak pike
#

Unity is a scam aye

fringe salmon
#

basically just a improved asset management system

unique bane
#

Unity 2021 seems great tbh

#

I should buy stock in it 😄

ornate cedar
#

Plugin manager with async loading?

fringe salmon
#

sort of? idk how it is handled internally

ornate cedar
#

only bother with an plugin/asset when some event happens. kind of dealio?

fringe salmon
#

you can use it that way yes

#

it's also something just for handling iterations/dev cycles faster and easier

unique bane
#

damn those diff metal versions look good

#

raw/polished/rusted versions of each metal 😄

ornate cedar
#

If the entire game is also this good, it might turn into a good game

That new game looks hype though

But not released yet

Good

bleak pike
#

ooft

#

seems to favor intel

fading spade
#

Everything since Windows 11 does

#

Including Win 11 itself

fringe salmon
#

nope

#

win11 having a bug for a few days does not mean it favors something

fading spade
#

It did, performance on AMD was shit at launch

#

Since MS worked with Intel on its release

fringe salmon
#

it was a bug not better or worse performance ffs

#

and if you think either intel or microsoft would do something that banal with intent, you watch too much conspiracy shit

fading spade
#

OFC the first Steam Deck verified game is Portal 2

#

Portal references are all over the marketing and packaging of the Deck :P

#

Some devs are saying they dont know how to submit their games to get them verified :/ but Valve has only recently started the program so I guess they will roll that out soon

#

First batch of Decks being sent out "By the END of February"

#

Hmmmm

young hill
#

Kinda crazy to see a signature title on pc

#

Before Sony gathered exclusives and kept them out of anyone's hands

orchid prism
#

Keep them coming.

trim rock
#

REEEE MUH EXCLUSIVES!!!!

barren pewter
#

our exclusives

slim token
#

cant wait to see the reviews on tlou 2 when it drops on steam

young hill

Maybe one day Microsoft will let Sony have halo

Ah yes
Linux is bloatware somehow now

fringe salmon

#

you should read what that person said

#

no one even plays valorant

#

and even then

fringe salmon
#

unless windows is now also a linux distro

barren pewter
#

secureboot is just...

#

no

fringe salmon
#

they clearly called windows bloatware

barren pewter
#

if your anticheat requires that...

#

WTF

fringe salmon
#

"windows is shit"
"since when is linux bloatware?

fading spade
#

Made me think my wifi card stopped working for a while

trim rock
#

Also televisions, phones..

fading spade
#

Lol the one mon has doesn't gave HDMI

trim rock
#

Yeah it's a sad state nowadays

#

Can record two shows at a time but you have to be watching one of them when it's recording

If she had her own wifi I could set up Netflix for her

#

What if it the exact same game dogekek you never know if some intern uploads the wrong game

#

mm Or the source got deleted and no one knows where the backups are

Toy story 2 nearly got deleted near completion iirc

I'm worried about open world game performance on steam deck if using the microsd card slot

#

Watch now
People make an accessory for the deck that slots an SSD onto the back between the hand grips and plug it in via some internal cable that goes through a hole cut into the back

unborn spruce
#

People did that with USBs and the old 3DS.

fading spade
#

Oo

unborn spruce
#

Just hard soldered a USB port into the traces, super fucked.

#

But with enough tinkering and custom OS then USB did work. LUL

ripe tendon

well it does have an nvme drive right?

it's just not intended to be changed out

#

first piece of ilv600 gear from savage, time to go hunt @orchid prism once data center travel is here dogekek

orchid prism
#

Eep!

#

Haven't found the time to do Savage anything. So I'm stuck at ... what... 575?

#

Still need the pants and that's all I can do without going hard.

fringe salmon
#

New tomestones are 590

#

580 for regular Raid I think?

#

Also we’re doing savage semi blind so we only got p1s down twice and about half way through p2s

bleak pike
#

so nice seeing this

ashen lark
bleak pike
#

GoW

fading spade
#

I want this controller mount.....

orchid prism
# fringe salmon 580 for regular Raid I think?

Panda normal is 580 which I've got except for pants and second ring (cause unique)

Don't know anything about new tomes. Except that they are a pain to grind and limited per week. So fuck that 😂

fringe salmon
#

you can get them from roulettes quite fast, hunts give them also treasure maps

fading spade
#

I made video to show side by side how they slide onto the switch vs grip

fringe salmon
#

we did a couple runs of treasure maps and got to the end and with the drops I got like 1.5 mil gil from that treasure map and another million from the rest of the maps lmao

#

though if you dont feel it, 6.1 gives the alliance raids and the gear it drops should be the same as latest tomestone iirc

orchid prism
#

No groups or time for treasures. I just sell the bottles.

#

But I'll probably take a break from doing normal Panda next week and just focus on alt jobs.

fringe salmon
#

just make sure to get your clear for P4 so you can get your weapon once that is released

orchid prism
#

Yep yep. Got every fight every week so far.

ripe tendon
fringe salmon
#

had no time to do much before savage today so I was really happy to get P4 on roulette so I got all the bonus stones as well as the clear for that lmao

fading spade
#

I don't think that's the problem here

#

It catches on something

ripe tendon
#

then the fix would be to remove that something

#

file it down or something similar

fading spade
#

It's shone a light down into it and haven't seen what could cause it

ripe tendon
#

use something non-permanent to mark the sides and push it in slightly and see what gets scuffed. Repeat increasing the distance each time until something is scuffed

#

I imagine that would tell you where the touching begins and what's hitting it

fading spade
#

I've looked up online and a lot of people seem to have the opposite problem
The joycon are too loose and fall out sometimes or disconnect to pair wirelessly because they slid out a bit too much

ripe tendon
#

That's weird they fall out considering there's a locking mechanism

fading spade
#

They jiggle around enough to disconnect and then try to pair wirelessly which will make the switch show the controller config screen

ripe tendon
#

you also have the clips to lock not just the button on the back

ripe tendon
#

in the case? Like a carrying case?

fading spade
#

I have a hard carry case

ripe tendon
#

tmi

fading spade
#

So it wouldn't really be able to press them

ripe tendon
#

even so if it's in the case I'm not sure how that applies to the situation

fading spade
#

yeah idk

ripe tendon
#

if it is loose enough to dc wouldn't you feel it while holding it in handheld mode

fading spade
#

O.o

barren pewter
#

idk

#

all the cyberdogs in Fallout New Vegas are just...adorable, to me

even though they're heavily modified war machines and barely dogs

shell willow
fringe salmon
#

cant at the moment

#

sales stopped for now

#

25th or 26th its back

#

well, sales that is, free trial might be back a bit later

small comet
#

even if you owned ffxiv that would take a weekend to get through the queue

fringe salmon
#

nah queus are back to like 5 minutes on EU

small comet
#

oh?

#

so only NA is shitted

fringe salmon
#

fora while now

small comet
#

and ya fleimi it was that bad not too long ago

#

hrs of queueing

#

i mean apparently in eu its back to normal

#

unless its always 5min queue

fringe salmon
#

I have like 20-50 people in queue whenever I log in which takes 5 minutes at max

small comet
#

i mean i never played gw2 but id imagine the games are different enough to warrant trying if youre interested

#

ngl idk if gw2 would speak to me

#

the frick is vertical progression

trim rock
#

numbers get bigger

small comet
#

oh fuck that

#

im glad i can buy sorta good stuff in ffxiv on market board

#

fuck grinding

#

level grind doesnt really exist

#

u do MSQ and ure max level

#

no real grind imo

fringe salmon
#

all optional and very easy catch up mechanics if you dont want to go for worlds first or so

small comet
#

ya good pve eq for light play are easily bought on market boards

#

buying a house

#

and or raiding

#

both really hard imo

#

better eq for harder raids

fringe salmon
#

mounts, title, fancy looking gear

small comet
#

oh and that

#

altho

#

u can buy many mounts on market board

fringe salmon
#

but the hardest raids dont have the best gear, just sometimes for a few weeks till catchup is there

small comet
#

yes

#

but only a limited number of players per world

#

otherwise ull only get an apartment

#

having a real plot with house is kinda status symbol

fringe salmon
#

nah they are changing the system how you get one next patch

small comet
#

finally

#

always wanted a house

fringe salmon
#

only bots are those that spam real money scam sites sometimes and get banned fast

#

yes

#

different sorts of fishing games too

small comet
#

i do like ffxiv with its DoL and DoH crafting gathering

#

way better system than any other mmo imo

fringe salmon
#

never crafted in other games so cant compare it

small comet
#

from my experience crafting in other games

#

its just click

fringe salmon
#

can only say it's quite easy and relaxing

small comet
#

and u get item

#

the fact we have to use skills and its kinda a minigame all the time in ffxiv

#

is just dope

fringe salmon
#

hmm though with return of sales I wonder if free trial really comes back soon or if they have to delay that till servers are coming in

orchid prism
small comet
#

doesnt that mean not too many players aswell

fringe salmon
#

so instances

#

just like xiv has them

small comet
#

ya like ffxiv

fringe salmon
#

just that the 14 serves are at the limit for total players unlike the gw2 ones currently

#

since I dont think arena net has infinite servers

small comet
#

now i wanna know the all time high

fringe salmon
#

they they had short queue when I played on release

#

but thats been a while

#

those things are never accurate sadly

small comet
#

active players are the queues

#

total is any account

fringe salmon
#

but that just means gw has either a lot of spare servers or they use something liek AWS at extra cost for mroe room

#

both nice for palyers I guess

small comet
#

that means if 3mil people log in to gw2 they will prob also queue

fringe salmon
#

yea

small comet
#

i mean ya even at 500k players active ud have it feel lively

#

what broke ffxivs neck was the sudden increase

fringe salmon
#

well "sudden"

#

wouldve been fine without covid supply issues

small comet
#

that aswell

#

not that i personally care too much

#

im kinda burned out on ffxiv

small comet
#

feral ferry
#

VaLULrant?

unborn spruce
#

Game lags when you have 50+ people in one location, but the servers don't feel it at all, even with 300+ people in a single area all doing shit.

fringe salmon
#

I mean that's expected for any current active mmo is it not?

unborn spruce
#

You'd expect so.

fringe salmon
#

which one has laggy servers

unborn spruce
#

New World, all of Runescape forever, wow in a few instances, eso suffers a little, a lot of the older games have a tendency to get hit by massive player counts in one area.

#

Laggy servers aren't exactly a new thing.

#

GW2s problem is that the client basically deletes framerate with above 50 players. LUL

fringe salmon
#

eso I expected just because that sounds like a requirement for bethesda games

unborn spruce
#

Lmfao

#

Really it kinda depends what you even classify as an MMO.

fringe salmon
#

new world I'd expect to not have that a while after launch since it's all on AWS so should not be too hard to dial that in after a while

unborn spruce
#

You'd think so but the game is just really poorly designed, AWS can't save it. KEKW

fringe salmon
#

guess it's more so the software server sucking than the physical server

unborn spruce
#

Yep.

#

That's why I put out the list that I did, usually the software hurts the server experience.

#

Kinda weird for gw2 since it's pretty much the polar opposite problem. Servers run beautifully well, but the client experience is pretty shit tier.

orchid prism
#

Zooooooom

ashen lark
#

That sound strange, what gamemode and br?

ashen lark
#

Also some games separated game modes for first and third person which was nice

#

Though that’s not possible for every game

#

Oh, makes more sense than. Still sounds like a lot.

#

I mean I don’t either and it’s usually not that bad lul

fringe salmon
#

but you live in the middle of both so 50% chance you will soon belong to one of them

They have been fixing up the game first and foremost and admitting the issue quite quickly. I guess content is lacking right now, but I assume they are working on that.

#

Of course - It's supposed to be their Fortnite, their Overwatch. To make microtransactions work, you need a massive pool of players.

#

Whales won't care about buying ALL the things, if there's no one to feel superior to (literally)

young hill
#

Well let me say this the battle pass is kind of a deal look like right now some tiers are like scraps, but guessing next battle pass they will fix it.

#

But if they are willing to make the game fun for the players not what they think we should be playing I like that. I get your point though you got to meet the point of value.

#

I just mention this since every time when there was a legitimate outcry they would go back the drawing board to do what they could for the while being.

bleak pike
#

Can't believe I'm saying this

#

But I don't think anything has matched the fortnite pass

young hill
#

In terms of content I presume?

bleak pike

It is something 343 is looking into they even had roles for active cheating monitoring

young hill
#

XD well guess not then

young hill
#

Of course it is a Ubisoft game

fringe salmon
#

what does that even mean

trim rock
#

Don't you mean..
A Ubisoft Original

young hill
#

In speculation however it was cracked denuvo is still running somewhere

orchid prism
#

I love how they're testing different GPUs but not CPUs at all.

#

Logically Denuvo uses CPU threads to run in the background, not your fucking GPU. Test it again with a 4th gen Intel and we'll talk xD

#

... nevermind. Their article is written terribly. They do test further down xD

#

Still testing using high core CPUs though. So... verdict's still out. Also... this is ONE game 😛

fringe salmon
#

also drm is known to suck performance if implemented badly, people just like to forget the times it didn't change anything

#

also who makes benchmarks and then speculates on it, go spend 5 minutes online and ask someone with knowledge on if it's really gone or not instead of making that speculation as verdict

Never too fast or slow

fringe salmon

have you considered doing the thing called changing mouse sensitivity in other games?

fading spade
#

yeah

#

and I cant get it perfectly right for me

#

either too fast or too slow or it has acceleration

fringe salmon
#

then take what you have in blops3 and just use the same in other games?

i might dual boot it.

depending on how well it works and gamepass..

unborn spruce
#

Agreed.

#

If it works well and gamepass ends up offering a bunch of stuff...

#

I can't see the original OS staying, especially since it has good odds of being an emulation king.

Though dual booting will be interesting.

fallow bronze
#

Your expected order availability: Q2 2022

fading spade
#

Since After Q2 is July + delay of two months so everyone got shifted back by that

fringe salmon
#

except it's not guaranteed its two months for all

fading spade
#

Yeah it is

fringe salmon
#

so could be a bit earlier

#

no things being moved by 2 months doesnt mean it's a linear change for all future production runs

fallow bronze
fading spade
#

"new timeline" = extra 2 months

fringe salmon
#

where did they said it's 2 months for everyone

fading spade
fringe salmon
#

yes for the first batch

#

it's the same thing for wooting, when they had to push back one batch but the later batch was still on time since the next shipment was not delayed

fading spade
#

"everyone is shifted back to the new timeline"

#

everyone

#

all batches

fringe salmon
#

yes but that does not mean everyone is shifted by the same timeframe

The Earth is a pyramid mm

#

Thats how the illuminati got their inspiration for their logo

#

Officially it is a ooblong spheroid or something

#

An oblate spheroid is a famous shape. It is the shape of the Earth and some other planets. It is like a sphere squashed from the top so the circumference around the poles is less than the circumference around the equator. Shapes of this type are called ellipsoids.

Caused by the planet spinning

Relative lack of spoilers

Some names are said

No ending names or descriptions so yeah doesn't spoil the game

But it does give an insight on how the game's content looks

Also some kind of "super" enemies exist by the sound of it, GRE anomalies, and judging by the icon there is 3 of them

Might be some kind of soldier mutants

Even running a trainer that removed durability made DL1 a chore to finish. Bad plot, uninteresting characters. Yes I am grumpy duck here 😛

small comet
#

na i agree with u

fringe salmon
#

which is funny

#

because techland gave a talk once regarding design and one point was how they adjusted zombie health o be lower so it eats less durability bc people in QA said that feels bad

orchid prism

It's been forever. I think I played it legitimately for 2-3 hours and then just gave up on it. I am also VERY salty that the Excalibur sword only has one durability (and can't be repaired?)

Bundles are meant to save money

small comet
#

no?

fading spade
#

not be the same price

small comet
#

bundles are meant to sell you 2 items that fit together

#

the common practice of this reducing the price is made up and usually marketing

#

also eshop bundles have special ways of how they interact with the eshop and cdn

fading spade
#

oh hmm

fringe salmon
#

they aren't selling physical stuff that is cloggin up storage space

#

so why should a bundle have to be cheaper

small comet
#

cause steam does it

young hill
fringe salmon
#

I didn't say bundles arent allowed to be cheaper

#

if you dont make more sales by lowering the price that's just money thrown away

I guess the host left the game

cause I lsot connection for some reason midrace

but now im on another server so meh

small comet

ya well "server"

#

all nintendo games are p2p

#

thus you dont connect to a specialized server but just another user hosting a game

#

as far as i know theres no nintendo game that uses dedicated servers

orchid prism
#

Hmm... Splatoon maybe?

#

Due to high number of players in a match.

nope

Yeah I suspect they're secretly hoping he and several higher ups in AB gets legally slapped by courts, giving MS the excuse to terminate.

So.. is he or is he not lul

clear parrot
unborn spruce
#

Yep.

#

Kotick is fucked, nobody with his optics stays in that kind of position.

#

Only reason he isn’t fired is Microsoft doesn’t want to pay the money needed to force him out.

#

Rather wait for the next financial year or for him to screw the pooch badly enough to justify it.

fringe salmon
#

still hoping for that 1% something comes up that throws him in jail so he wont get any sort of farewell money

barren pewter
#

random gripe

#

I hate going into game files to delete saves because there's no system within the game itself to

slim token
#

official r6 discord server sticker lel

unborn spruce
#

That game is an unholy fucking mess on the backend and the entire game is made in the most confusing ass way.

#

For example, when you want to zoom in or out the game resizes the window resolution on the fly, meaning that if you drive too fast with the zoom all the way out it can crash your game.

#

Or that the classes like Doctor are actually called FirstAid in the files, but not all the time, sometimes it's called Firstaid with no caps on the a and that makes modding fucked.

#

Did I mention that the internal file system is no better? It doesn't want to make a folder in it's root directory for important files, no. It'll make one in C:\Users\User\Zomboid and fuck you for asking why.

#

Literally all of this is in the C drive and no you cannot change it.

#

Why? Get bent, that's why.

small comet
#

make a folder junction

#

ez

#

mklink /j is yoir friend for such cases

so would not trust it really

#

but it is obvious that it is a huge hit for sony

since they loose out on cod

Ngl though don’t think this is monopoly yet, but if Microsoft does start removing more and more games from PS wouldn’t mind them getting hit by anticompetitive lawsuit or sth similar

#

Exclusive games suck. Even more and smaller platforms. Like south of the circle, imo one of the best story games, yet almost no one gets to play it since Apple Arcade exclusive

novel umbra
#

yea not disagreeing

fringe salmon
#

unlikely that they are losing out on cod

novel umbra
#

but seeing playstation malders is great fun to me

#

after them pretending like exclusives are the greatest thing on earth

fringe salmon
#

more likely they are just going to make cod cheaper via game pass or some other incentives

fringe salmon
#

wouldn't make sense for them to stop selling it or further games on ps when they could make so much money

novel umbra
#

small reminder that activision blizzard gets bought at almost 20 times the money lucasfilm was bought at

#

with inflation about 14 times

ripe tendon

Just spew out medicore games and you too can be bought for more than you should be worth

hey GTA V made most of it's money with shark cards

ornate cedar
ripe tendon
#

IF it's funding a decent GTA VI then cool otherwise fuck em

novel umbra
#

who could have thought that that shitty economy resulted in the biggest media franchise to exist

fringe salmon
#

bit of an odd comparison since lucasfilm and ABK have very different things they own

novel umbra
#

yea obv

#

both about media franchises though

#

but ABK earns money just by existing

#

with streaming obv that increased for lucasfilm as well

#

or well, the starwars IP

fringe salmon
#

lots of existing and active userbase, mobile gaming with king and all the data analytics they have etc.

#

like the IPs are secondary here compared to lucasfilm

novel umbra
#

so maybe we will actually see diablo 4 and ow2

novel umbra
#

a good starcraft could make TONS of money

#

same with wow if they get it out of it's ditch

fringe salmon
#

and they also own MLG and other smaller parts that are under the umbrella

novel umbra
#

would require a lot of effort though

#

not like that wasn't the case with the sequels or mandalorian

ornate cedar
#

lucasfilm was mostly getting its value/revenue from merchandising

fringe salmon
#

secondary does not mean it's not useful 😛

novel umbra
#

less new lego sets with less movies

#

new movie = new merchandise

novel umbra
fringe salmon
#

but just printing money daily with candy crush and daily users is already worth a lot, then we dont know the unannounced things they are working on that MS would know about

#

well first of all lego sucks these days

novel umbra
#

gaming is just a bigger media segment by now

novel umbra
#

i obv don't have numbers

#

but I assume the prequels might have made most their money in lego sales KEKW

small comet
#

when lego was kinda good so ya

novel umbra
#

they still make good sales

#

even inside germany

#

where most of the critique comes from

small comet
#

theyd prob get more money if theyd partner with cobi or bluebrixx

novel umbra
#

nah

#

fewer sales

#

public eye still sees them as inferior

small comet
#

i only heard good things so far

novel umbra
#

yes

small comet
#

from said public

novel umbra
#

well

#

who are you looking at

#

people that are open to try stuff out

#

people that are deep into lego

#

or people that just buy whatever for whomever

small comet
#

just reviews on amazing

novel umbra
#

yea

#

they are good

#

not denying that

#

they just are not perceived as good by most of the target group

#

just because they are not lego

#

and when people buy a millenium falcon or deathstar for half a liver lego makes big money

#

and you can assume that so does disney

small comet
#

id rather pay half a live to cobi and get smth that can easily be used to kill someone

novel umbra
#

yea obv

#

not saying you should buy lego

#

lego just makes more money

#

so it is more interesting to license out an IP to them

#

than a small cobi

#

or an even smaller bluebrixx

Why is Muse Dash 30 euro on eShop but 4 on steam?

fringe salmon

ask them

sales, bundles, higher sales activity on other platform, special deals, special contracts with publisher etc. etc.

#

could be any of that

trim rock
#

Because people seem to happily pay more for the on the go meme

fringe salmon
#

could also be something like they made a big dlc and on switch it only came out after that dlc released and so it's only available as one package

thats what happened with another game just dont remember which one bc it's been a while

fading spade
#

I looked further into the steam page
The dlc for the game is 29 euro ....

not sure what stopped them from giving it more vram though

vram costs money that is relevant at that price point

Which was my first proper brand new GPU
