Watching reviews

They are saying about how it's basically just an extraction of outbreak

That's all I wanted

[barren pewter]

boohoo?

that's the one time I liked R6S

[bleak pike]

Same

[barren pewter]

I hate pvp, but Outbreak hit different

[bleak pike]

Ye man

Was fun

[barren pewter]

would definitely play that again if I could

and now I CAN

[bleak pike]

Ye same

That's my mentality and yanno game pass

[unborn spruce]

This is both hyper depressing and uber depressing at the same time.

Ubisoft has managed to asset flip a fucking game mode into a new game.

[barren pewter]

Aeon...

I've seen worse

shipping out a dud game...and immediately leaving it to die

[fringe salmon]

you act like mobas and battleroyale games didnt start the same way

[bleak pike]

Have you seen fallout 72

Or whatever it was called

I legit forgot

[barren pewter]

I fucking preordered that

[bleak pike]

76

[unborn spruce]

I'll put forward that I don't support most BRs.

[unborn spruce]

Fool.

xD

[barren pewter]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[bleak pike]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-go-t-game-of-thrones-walk-of-shame-shameful-gif-4949558

Even after the awful betas lol

[barren pewter]

my soul is forever tormented knowing 3D fallout games were tarnished by such a shit entrant into the series

[trim rock]

How could you not after hearing its 16 times the detail

[barren pewter]

you had to pay for those

beta was for those who preordered

[bleak pike]

No?

[barren pewter]

I swore it was

[bleak pike]

I was in the beta and didn't pre order

It was open

Lol

[unborn spruce]

Doge after preordering Fallout 76 and seeing more shit games:

[barren pewter]

there's also that the timing was horribly shit for me

always during school or at work

[barren pewter]

well, actually

no

I have adopted the same thing south african gun designers did

once bitten, twice shy

now a game must launch before I EVEN CONSIDER purchasing it

[unborn spruce]

Bad game launches

Doge:

[barren pewter]

Doge talks about purchasing games and how preorders are stupid
Aeon:

posts the same stupid photo

every time

[fringe salmon]

repost smh

[barren pewter]

repost smh

[unborn spruce]

repost smh

[young crow]

repost smh

[strange spade]

repost smh

[barren pewter]

stop the reposting

that's an order

[young hill]

Pincus help me figure out who owns the nft repost smh 🧐

[young crow]

sometimes i just don’t understand how most of us are actually adults

[barren pewter]

adult is just age

maturity is overrated

also

edibles make me feel fuzzy and warm inside

[unborn spruce]

Maturity when?

[strange spade]

Whot

[young crow]

i can make you feel warm inside

😳

[barren pewter]

honestly

do it

I'm in the mood and I haven't bumped uglies in two years at this point

[young crow]

i will have to look up the meaning of that

that’s some retarded slang

[barren pewter]

I will refrain from using such slang again, daddy

anything to please you

[unborn spruce]

Found the NFT, lads.

[barren pewter]

put that one on the wall next to the dirty water slut

[unborn spruce]

[young crow]

next to the what

[barren pewter]

we collect screenies of me saying stupid shit

[unborn spruce]

I needed to.

[young crow]

so we already have 100k of them?

impressive

[ornate cedar]

@young hill

[young hill]

Lol

[young hill]

So big

[fading spade]

wait...thats just DLC????

[young crow]

uwu

[young hill]

lol

[bleak pike]

No

[fading spade]

ok....good

[young hill]

Lol

Rainbow six siege is weird though yeah

[fading spade]

copying black ops 3 to my Linux partition to see if itll run on Proton

[ornate cedar]

Why are you not using the tool in the steam launcher

[fading spade]

huh?

[young hill]

Hell yeah metro exodus

[ornate cedar]

😎

[young hill]

I really should it play it more

The first dlc is quite scary

[young crow]

you can just add a library folder in steam

[young hill]

Big brain move

[fading spade]

I have last light

[fading spade]

came with my previous computer lol

[ornate cedar]

That opens that exact menu

[young crow]

oh you sent a screenshot

i'm blind

[fading spade]

😅

[ornate cedar]

Is it an SSD?

[fading spade]

ye

ayy, the game launched.... no issues so far!

[ornate cedar]

Give it some empty space to do its wear leveling and shit on

[bleak pike]

game has a benchmark

but does not provide stats

[ornate cedar]

🇰🇵 No stats, no problems

[fading spade]

the game works!!! just at half the FPS that it has on Windows

oh wait, vsync is on

wtf

Ayyyy now its back to just under windows FPS

115 instead of like 150

[ornate cedar]

Got the proton GE and compiled the shaders?

[fading spade]

it didnt see to compile shaders

at least not before launch

[ornate cedar]

Then either it doesnt need em or is compiling them as it runs

[fading spade]

judging by the lag spikes...probably the latter

ive ran aroun the entire map and its not lag spi king anymore

Now i need to figure out how to automount my game SSD so steam can use it as a library cause I aint keeping my SSD at 95% full

[bleak pike]

https://mrpl.me/u45386b_rfq6.jpg

[ornate cedar]

Either udev rule, or fstab

[young crow]

linux sounds so fun

[bleak pike]

..... https://mrpl.me/Vc5391b_rfn6.jpg

[young crow]

damn they added catboys

[slim token]

who will purchase ubisoft

[young hill]

Please nobody

[ornate cedar]

https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd.mount.5#FSTAB

[young hill]

They make dog poop caca

[fading spade]

will using the same game files for both windows and linux cause issues?

[slim token]

someone needs to correct them into more rayman and true rainbow titles

[fading spade]

it downloaded a 1GB of stuff before the game launched

[bleak pike]

230fps

[young hill]

That ship has sailed

Watchdogs is shite

Ghost recon breakpoint is shite

Assassin's Creed what even is it anymore

[slim token]

suppose i wait ten years for another nostalgia fueled revival of the series

[young crow]

hardware breakpoint is, on the other hand, very cool

[young hill]

Huh?

[ornate cedar]

It is an compatibility layer it should treat the game the same but just turn the windows native calls to something linux understands

[young crow]

i like hardware breakpoint

[young hill]

Ah

[young crow]

there’s only 4 though

[young hill]

In the world?

[young crow]

depends on your definition of the world

[young hill]

Well what do you mean 4 like 4 types

Or literally only 4 in existence

[fading spade]

oh..you cant add a drive / directory as a steam library if its not empty

seems for now I need to copy bl3 to another place and make that the linux library

[fading spade]

there is a linux user who does it this way
in etc/fstab

then this

I may try this method perhaps

I did this before and it automounted and I added it as a steam library but I did it with a different line in fstab
and steam said it cant install a game due to lack of permissions

[ornate cedar]

Probably need to add user to the options in fstab

[fading spade]

Does steam operate under my user?

in fstab
do I need the file system type to be case senstive?

exFAT
or exfat?

[young hill]

presentFAT

[ornate cedar]

I use vfat

[young hill]

Why are you using exfat

And not

APFS

[fading spade]

ayy, its automounting!

[ornate cedar]

You can also use auto as the <type> and let it guess the filesystem used

[fading spade]

oh ffs, I forgot, it needs to be an empty folder

[ornate cedar]

no?

[young hill]

https://c.tenor.com/q-E5wj1K6OYAAAAM/monsters-inc-sully.gif

[young hill]

Just hide folders >:)

[ornate cedar]

rename it or something

add .BAK to the folder

[young hill]

No

It has to be baka

[fading spade]

Can I specify a folder in the drive in fstab?

Like this?
I just added /SteamBL3 to the line

[honest ruin]

I don't think so

you can use BTRFS and subvolumes to do essentially that

(and add compression and COW)

[fading spade]

Stuck here

Oh...dropped me to emergency mode

Ffs

Ok imma revert ftsab

[honest ruin]

you're gonna have to manually mount a drive to that path or remove the line from fstab in emergency shell or it wont let you boot

[fading spade]

Yeah... I may just manually mount it

Ffs

I'm glad it has the ability to login to try to change it

To tty*

[ornate cedar]

Just use the UUID

[fading spade]

I did

[ornate cedar]

4 identical entries?

[fading spade]

Hm?

[ornate cedar]

UUIDs are unique.. or supposed to be

[fading spade]

They are

[ornate cedar]

UUID of line 9, 10, 11, 12 seem awfully... the same

[fading spade]

Oh....steam won't let me pick another drive as the library

[ornate cedar]

are your drives mounted?

[fading spade]

Yes

[fading spade]

Idk what it's doing
Everything was there already
I just added the shit below #Steam

It might be related to flatpak or snap
I know they do funky shit to drives

[unborn spruce]

Linux users: “Linux is easy”
Linux:

[fading spade]

Xd

Auto mounting drives is something I wish Linux did
It's great that windows does it

Linux can do it with removable media like a USB drive so idk why it doesn't do it for internal drives also

[ornate cedar]

Linux can do that

just fine

[fading spade]

You can select an internal drive as steam library in windows

huh?

[ornate cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/sheldon-bigbangtheory-maybe-gif-5336221

[fading spade]

I dont see the SteamApps it means

[ornate cedar]

Rename the folder 🤷

[fading spade]

https://www.instructables.com/Assigning-Multiple-Drives-to-Steam-on-Linux/

I found a guide that worked

im just waiting for 120GB of black ops 3 to transfer to this new library folder

oh, I need to copy the manifest file too or it wont show

[ornate cedar]

Why are not using the steam tool

[fading spade]

I cant

its got my default library and this new folder

my default library doesnt have bl3 in it

this time it is processing them before launch

Makes me wonder will Steam Deck need to make you wait for this to happen also, or they force it to run in the background and cause lag spikes for a minute or so

[young crow]

look

i have an amazing suggestion

have you ever heard of windows

[fading spade]

yea

[young crow]

that’s great

[fading spade]

I have version 11!

[young crow]

i believe games just work there

[ornate cedar]

You can tell steam to process them in the background

[fading spade]

bl3 is just working

[barren pewter]

you know what doesn't work on Linux?

Metro Exodus Enhanced

[fading spade]

🤔 why is this off suddenly?

[barren pewter]

only the shitty unenhanced version works with linux

therefore

linux can succ my left nut

[fading spade]

The Linux version of Metro Last Light has no graphics settings other than brightness

very odd

[barren pewter]

Lana, last light was great and all

but metro exodus is just

better in every conceivable way

[fading spade]

xd

[barren pewter]

I'm dead serious

[ornate cedar]

Have you been listening to that crazy man? "electricity is sin!"
YOu know what else is a sin? Him disrespecting the gods of electricity

[barren pewter]

exactly

fuckin kill all those cultists

also caging a woman and child like that
ja det är inte pog

[fading spade]

the only reason I have Last Light is because it came with my computer due to it supporting Alienware's light sync shit where the game can change the color of the case light

that computer could barely run the game

[ornate cedar]

I will use the artifact the gods of steel and combustion have granted us. And use it to give everyone a new hole in the head

[barren pewter]

^^

by the power of the kalash

I say SILENCE, SILANTIUS

fuckin annoying shit

makes the cannibals look like courtesans

[ornate cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/warhammer-40k-techpriest-binaric-screeching-screeching-gif-20192683

[barren pewter]

Pinch

just

one question

best weapon in exodus?

there is a right answer

[ornate cedar]

Kalash

[barren pewter]

and you're correct

shambler is a close second imo though

[ornate cedar]

Clean Kalash*

[barren pewter]

^^

dirty kalash rifles are...ugh

jam up

how do you run your kalash?

other than being impeccably clean, of course

I go long barrel, or short suppressed, iron sights, smol mag, heavy stock and no lasers

[young crow]

what’s wrong with the right one

[barren pewter]

the right one is just for you

[young crow]

oh thank fuck

[ornate cedar]

Semi-grip, 20 rounds, iron sights, long barrel, green or IR laser(or none)

[barren pewter]

respect

20 round mag is the best mag

most stability, and...if you're doing empty reloads with a 20 round mag

you have a skill issue and should play cod like the rest of the 8 year olds

[ornate cedar]

If I cant run out of enemies with 20 rounds.. then.. i am in deep trouble and need more raw firepower

[barren pewter]

seriously though, 20 rounds is more than enough for pretty much any encounter in metro exodus

[ornate cedar]

Ammo is dirt cheap too

[barren pewter]

yus

[ornate cedar]

cheapest one there is

i think

[barren pewter]

I'd say the Kalash is only beaten by one weapon

and that's the Sammy

but only because the Sammy takes up the useless Tikhar/Helsing slot

[ornate cedar]

I mostly run the stallion when doing the dlc

It just feels cool

[barren pewter]

I just use the stallion for the batwing encounters

¯_(ツ)_/¯

can carry a good amount of ammo for it, pretty great when made full auto and paired with the drum mag

[ornate cedar]

Makes me feel like a US cop apprehending the hostiles.. dead or alive

dead

very dead

without knowing he is dead

[barren pewter]

American tasers in Vladivostok use .44 magnum rounds modified for semi auto firearms

who knew?

[ornate cedar]

Lethal rounds? Sounds like you gotta learn to run rounds

[young crow]

there’s actually a nest of pigeons right above my flat

[barren pewter]

my taser is also full auto, 30 or so round drum and can take down a giant mutated FUCKING BAT

[young crow]

i live on the last floor

i can hear the pigeon sounds

[barren pewter]

pigeons are a delicacy

well

were

in Britain

[young crow]

well, the trapdoor to the attic isn’t locked...

[ornate cedar]

https://youtu.be/LKhdJd1Nu74

[young crow]

i wonder if i should complain about pigeon sounds

[fading spade]

Unfortunate truncation....

[young crow]

как обычно, все делается через жопу...

[fading spade]

LOL

[young crow]

that phrase means “is done very badly/improperly” in russian

you’re welcome

[ornate cedar]

She doesnt know

[fading spade]

Yeh... I aint russian

xd

[young crow]

i’m honestly not sure how people still talk to me

[fading spade]

hm?

[young crow]

i put garbage dry humor everywhere

unintentionally

[young hill]

unintentionally

[ornate cedar]

Dont worry, 90% of russians are way worse.. especially after their.. samashonka,... from questionable origin

[young crow]

it actually just happens

[young hill]

guessing out of habit?

[young crow]

out of retardation

SEE

[young hill]

ah alright

[feral ferry]

Well shiz

Pokemon legends: Arceus is pretty damn good

Very much Pokémon x Monster Hunter

Good amount of content, everything is different

They don't waste time with cutscenes mid-game anymore

Like an actual good, open world pokemon game

And yes you can play it early, the game got dumped already if you own a homebrewed switch or an emulator

Though I heard emus have a lot of problems with the dump, unlike if you have a cracked console

[ripe tendon]

emus struggle with every new pokemon game it seems

until a couple updates come out

The last video I watched looked like it ran like ass though

[feral ferry]

Runs well

At least on my erista

Good solid framerate, no hiccups

Game's also relatively pretty

[ripe tendon]

but still 30 fps

[feral ferry]

God a certain artistic style to it

[ripe tendon]

and like basic foliage and biomes still?

[feral ferry]

Yeah I'm playing on the LG CX, I don't notice 30 FPS cap

Everything's fluid

[feral ferry]

Yeah the vegetation's a bit lacking, things do look a bit bland

But the Switch is honestly like a PC from 2007

Weak af and can't handle much

Switch Pro should use a modern gen chipset and hopefully be pretty damn good

[ripe tendon]

switch pro will be so far behind if it ever releases

God one of the cities reminds me of Dark Cloud. I want a new Dark Cloud damnit.

[small comet]

it out?

[ripe tendon]

read a couple more lines down

[small comet]

so now i just wait for a quality dump

[feral ferry]

The one I have is pretty damn good so far, works well

Load times are also remarkably short

I don't recall Nintendo marketing the Switch having a PCIe 5 SSD for "no load times" tho

[small comet]

well i need a clean nsp dump

for installing

[bleak pike]

https://ideas.lego.com/projects/6e70b8ae-dc7e-4066-8a31-938bf65e14b8

[orchid prism]

New Settlers is... not settlers.

[fallow bronze]

how DARE they

[fringe salmon]

Did that opinion already SETTLE in?

[orchid prism]

I mean I was expecting it - But playing it just now confirmed it. It's basically a weird hybrid of Settlers, Age of Empires and a 4X (referring to hex grid tiles)

[fallow bronze]

hm might not be terrible

[ornate cedar]

The nuclear fallout will... eventually...

[fallow bronze]

is it an epic exclusive?

closed beta 🤔

[trim rock]

Oh right I should probably try it

[orchid prism]

4 day closed beta (preview really) on uPlay or Epic... and still needing to launch uPlay anyway.

[bleak pike]

How dare I get memes

cant wait to play on the deck

[fading spade]

steamOS uses less than 10GB
so that leaves 245GB for games
Black Ops 3 is 120GB for the base game

So that is 125GB left for everything else

[slim token]

if you're using mid tier deck

[bleak pike]

why would you want bops 3 on it

[slim token]

also that

[fading spade]

if you get the multiplayer only version of Black Ops 3.... can you still setup offline matches against bots?

[bleak pike]

there is a mp only ver?

[fading spade]

ye

[bleak pike]

also it aint 120gb

[fading spade]

my game folder is 120GB

[bleak pike]

mp only?

[fading spade]

Full base game

[bleak pike]

weird

[bleak pike]

borked

oh wait

i own dlc

[fading spade]

LOL

[bleak pike]

[bleak pike]

v

didn't save much

i cant just remove mp

f

[fading spade]

whatever issues you were talking about back then are very much fixed now

[bleak pike]

back in my days

[fading spade]

they did the same with Modern Warfare games

[bleak pike]

it had huge memory leak issues, crashing etc

[fading spade]

oh wow

[bleak pike]

i own blops 4 and cold war

jus for zombies

[fading spade]

4??

[bleak pike]

ye

[fading spade]

[bleak pike]

ye

[fading spade]

hmmm

Treyarch arent part of that one?
Shows on Activision logo

[bleak pike]

all them 150 hours are zombies

haha

[fading spade]

LOL

I suck at zombies mode

[bleak pike]

Treyarch is black ops

[fading spade]

highest round I got to was 25

;-;

[bleak pike]

cos Activision own all studios lol

[fading spade]

Ahh

[bleak pike]

blops 4 was the first game i didn't buy the season pass for zombies

[fading spade]

whats the season pass?

[bleak pike]

every treyarch game ive owned and season pass

Season pass used to be for zombies and mp maps

With cold war they became free

and free meant shit

Also the Aiether storyline ended with blops 4

[fading spade]

blops

[bleak pike]

tbh most of my zombies hours are on console

360

[fading spade]

same!

xbox 360 LOL

[bleak pike]

i played 1k hours of each zombie game up until blops 3 ezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[fading spade]

I have most of the older blops and COD games on there

[bleak pike]

Zombies consumed most of my younger days

[fading spade]

cod 2, 3, 4, wrld at war, blops 1, 2 and modern warfare 1 and 2

[bleak pike]

lol i had every cod collectors

i still have my rcxd somewhere

[fading spade]

same but I watched people who are better at me play it on youtubne

cause I couldnt get to high rounds on my own

[bleak pike]

lemmi find a cringe video

i made

[fading spade]

oh no

[bleak pike]

when i got my first proper gpu

[bleak pike]

Hardly rewarding

[young crow]

not like bobby kotick will be gone

he's not in jail so it could be better

but removing him without him getting extra payment is not really rewarding

my heart is going to explode with joy

[orchid prism]

People still play Lego Star Wars? Jeez.

[barren pewter]

...

I do

[orchid prism]

I played that... what 15-20 years ago? xD

[barren pewter]

Mansen...

lego star wars brings me back to the days of innocence, when I couldn't even write my own name (first...6-7 years of my life lol)

[orchid prism]

😄

[barren pewter]

back when collecting studs and hidden treasures was more important than money, or marks, or getting ahead in life

because life was nothing but happy times

not like today

[novel umbra]

same

very relatable

could write my own name though

[unborn spruce]

So this is a new game that's all 9 movies?

Do we agree to stop 70% of the way through to preserve the lore?

[young crow]

дебил

[barren pewter]

That was a given, Aeon

[unborn spruce]

Honestly, no idea who thought bringing Palpatine back was a good move.

[barren pewter]

There are 6 movies in the saga. Period.

[unborn spruce]

Lmao

[ornate cedar]

Disney lore is poo lore. Legends is where the real shit happened

[unborn spruce]

^ Oh yes.

Though I wish Legends didn't assfuck the power creep quite so hard.

[young crow]

i love how debil means the same thing in a lot of european languages

[unborn spruce]

"aH yES, i WiLL eAt a PLaNeT"

Balanced.

Very.

[young crow]

truly an international insult

[barren pewter]

I am an international idiot, according to @true kiln

[young crow]

i’m only a russian idiot unfortunately

[barren pewter]

[fading spade]

Steam Deck wont have a fingerprint scanner, will it?
So must we use touch keyboard to type in a password??

[young crow]

might have the same thing xbox has

[fading spade]

what the xbox have?

[young crow]

controller buttons for numbers

[fading spade]

ooohh

perhaps

LOL

size comparison

[slim token]

i thought it was announcing that thing is a steam deck

[fading spade]

it does look like that out of context :')

thats why I added the last message

This thing is $1400

my gosh

[ornate cedar]

In legends it would be treated like the disaster it is. It will cripple the entire galaxies economy and put the empires stability in severe jeopardy. The DS-1 aka the deathstar mk1 costed at least 1,500,000,000,000 credits[3] (estimated to be trillions of credits post-Yavin)[4]. For reference the black market rate for a Katarn-class commando armor was 100,000 credits.

This armor was more expensive and provided better protection than standard clone armor, due to the special composition and novel chemical properties of its armor plates, along with the inclusion of deflector shields. It was also designed for easy bacta injection via handheld dispensers. Katarn armor was often highly customized by the clone commandos who wore it.

this website even tells you its server stats, interesting

Yet idk how to download from it, I click on a rom and nothing happens

[ornate cedar]

navigate to the url of the download 🤷

[bleak pike]

@barren pewter extraction is bad xD

[ripe tendon]

not surprising

the alpha was horrendous

[slim token]

the alpha is not the problem

[ripe tendon]

the most watermarks game I've ever seen. You could barely make out what was actually happening in the game

[slim token]

ubi is the problem

I didn't say the alpha was the problem

I said it was horrendous

and it wasn't that long ago so it's not surprising the game sucks

because little to nothing would've changed

[trim rock]

Well yeah they really didn't want people to leak it, would negatively affect sales!

[ripe tendon]

it was so bad they didn't want people to play it

Phil is a real Chad

[fringe salmon]

"We realize we make a shit ton of money by just selling it on ps too so we decided to keep it" is how that should read tbh

I think phil does a good job but this isn't anything they are making a loss on or something lol

[bleak pike]

Xd

[feral ferry]

What I think Phil is doing with all the acquisitions

Is steering Sony off of the exclusivity train, hopefully

I mean obviously I don't believe Phil's the one that approves and initiates acquirements

[bleak pike]

The console war comments proper make me cringe

[feral ferry]

But yeah the faster the "something is exclusive to something" bullshit ends, the better

[bleak pike]

I feel like Sony is getting a taste of its own medicine

[fringe salmon]

how would this give sony and incentive to stop exclusivity for their consoles?

[feral ferry]

Like fml I want to play Horizon 2 next week, and I can't

[fringe salmon]

if anything this would make it so they most likely do more of that

[bleak pike]

How dare they keep them god tier exclusives away from me

It works tnf

Tbf

[feral ferry]

The more Sony decides to exclusive everything, the more Microsoft will acquire other companies

[bleak pike]

If I had to choose a console it would be a ps5

[feral ferry]

Sony can't outbid Microsoft

Like they'll realize that if they engage in exclusivity agreements, soon they'll be suffering the consequences themselves

[bleak pike]

Idk why Sony think giving people a taste on pc means more console sales

GoW is such a godly port

[ripe tendon]

don't even need a gpu for God of War I hear

[feral ferry]

They did step up their porting game, Horizon 1 was a mess at launch on PC

[fringe salmon]

if xbox is getting games that are not on PS, why would sony remove exclusives and thus the biggest reason to have a ps5 over a pc or xbox currently

what would the point be if you just straight up have less games than on xbox

[feral ferry]

Cause there's no reason to own a PS5?

They don't earn money over it

All they are winning is probs just 100% cut over game sales proceedings

Whereas Valve would take 30%

They do have to realize that releasing on all platforms at once won't cut into their profits if they, I dunno, make their own launcher?

[fringe salmon]

what are you talking about

they are selling ps5s at a profit

[feral ferry]

Last I heard no, they are not

[ripe tendon]

and everybody would bitch and moan about "another launcher"

[ornate cedar]

Sony earns from the xbox sales too It has the patent for blu-ray drives

[fringe salmon]

they said that in an earning multiple months ago

[feral ferry]

I do wonder if the R&D costs are actually cheaper than PS5 sales

Somehow I'd doubt that

Still, Sony imho is losing money with exclusivity

Forcing to buy a console to then pay full price for games is not viable for at least 40% of world's population

[fringe salmon]

they are selling consoles, they are making a 30% cut on all game sales not just from their own studio's game, they make money from ps+ and similar

[ripe tendon]

lul

[bleak pike]

Was great on my 3080

[fringe salmon]

if they just remove that, they might still take a profit from selling more games but it's not like they are suddenly valve on PC where they would get a cut on all games

[feral ferry]

After a while yes, but at launch it was notoriously badly optimized

They can bypass Valve effectively by just making their own launcher

[fringe salmon]

yes for their own games not for literally every single game

you think anyone would prefer to buy CoD on pc via sony launcher instead of steam or battle net?

[bleak pike]

Thingy was a good port wasn't it

Uber eats sim

[young hill]

Detroit Become on epic at least

Not sure what sales look like though

[small comet]

[novel umbra]

who published it?

playstation

aka

sony

aka japanese company

[fringe salmon]

publisher means nothing for the port

they dont make it

[novel umbra]

they sell it though

[fringe salmon]

might say they could've said "this is shit make it better"

[novel umbra]

I mean

they can adjust price to whatever

[fringe salmon]

oh misread, thought it was about the performance issue not price

[novel umbra]

performance of it is very good from what I have heard

only complaint about graphics I have seen was that you have to mod it to get rid of sharpening in DLSS

[fringe salmon]

GoW yes but ff7 on pc has issues

[novel umbra]

ah

ye

glad that we have the epic-beta for that

[bleak pike]

Not a Sony game tbf

[orchid prism]

Horizon was and that ran great.

[fringe salmon]

not on launch though

well not on all hardware configs at least

some were ok

[orchid prism]

On launch - The pirated leak ran smooth as hell 😄

Retail ran like ass.

[novel umbra]

Playstation is no company at all

Sony is

wdym

Sony interactive enterntainment is the official holder of Playstation

SIE is a US company

if that is what you mean

[ornate cedar]

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), formerly known as Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), is a multinational video game and digital entertainment company wholly owned by Japanese multinational conglomerate Sony Group Corporation. The SIE Group is made up of two legal corporate entities: Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (SIE LLC) based in San Mateo, California, United States, and Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. (SIE Inc.), based in Minato, Tokyo, Japan.[3] Tokyo-based SIE Inc. was originally founded as Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI or SCE) in November 1993 to handle Sony's venture into video game development for the PlayStation systems.[3] SIE LLC was established in San Mateo in April 2016,[3] and is managed through Sony's American branch, Sony Corporation of America.[2]

[novel umbra]

SIE is still owned by Sony though

3?

[ornate cedar]

Sony Group Corporation is the formal name to the entire collective. All their operations from cameras to videogames

[novel umbra]

SIE, parent company, Music, semiconductor

pictures

dunno who manages their cinema software

[ornate cedar]

[feral ferry]

To be fair I wouldn't be surprised if PlayStation is autonomous

LG is also fragmented, the panel manufacturer version of LG is autonomous from the rest of the company

Seems like a relatively common practice amongst conglomerates

[ashen lark]

True, Samsung is to some extend fractured too

[orchid prism]

Anti watchdog measure. Wouldn't want to be under the "YOU ARE A MONOPOLY!" watchful eye xD

[novel umbra]

Not just that

Also allows the company to survive more financial troubles

Since LG chem for example can sell to anyone at any rate

[ornate cedar]

Also great if you want to do a little tax evasion

[novel umbra]

Obv

US companies have a special strategy for that

[ornate cedar]

You also have the pump all assets into the other company and dump it technique. 😎

Steam Deck VS AyaNeo Next

More than double the score....

but its also more than double the price of the Deck

[fringe salmon]

thats not steam deck

[fading spade]

its the CPU from it?

[fringe salmon]

no

[fading spade]

its the PC that Valve call the HackenDeck

So its similar to Deck

[young crow]

how often does one have to be told benchmarks rarely reflect real world performance

[small comet]

lana wont understand

dont waste energy hollow

[fading spade]

they can give a general expecation though

right?

[fringe salmon]

if you can read them correctly

[young crow]

this case? nah

[fringe salmon]

but those arent even the same power envelopes

so not

[small comet]

wasnt the deck a completely custom apu

[fading spade]

ye

[small comet]

so none of those benchmarks even mean anything

[bleak pike]

Dont speak to Lana like that

[bleak pike]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/836620/Black_Desert_Retired/

wot

[orchid prism]

Hmm?

[ornate cedar]

If you run the benchmark with the power off. Infinite performance/watt

[bleak pike]

It's a whole separate version of the game

They re launched the store page

Old one has negative reviews and the new one positive

[orchid prism]

If it works it works?

[fading spade]

Anytime I use the screenshot tool on Genshin, they come out realllyyyy bright

and idk why..cause the game doesnt look as bright as that at all :/

SEE?!?!?!?? WHY

[small comet]

windows linux

whatever os u use

[fading spade]

Windows

[barren pewter]

it's genshin

it's supposed to come out like that

[small comet]

ngl my genshin screens look ok

[barren pewter]

to help hide the filth you are

<3

[fading spade]

but taking screenshots of other games dont come out bright....

so im so lost :/

[bleak pike]

Why play geshin

[small comet]

ikr

play cyberjunk

[barren pewter]

it's actually not terrible

it's just

ok

[small comet]

idk man

i encountered more bugs in my new playthroughs first hour

than any other games i played so far at all

[barren pewter]

I only encountered a single bug

a clipping issue during one of the first missions

had to reload a save but that was it

[small comet]

i have yet another save with an immovable indestrutable car floating around

the map is bugged sometimes and reloading doesnt fix it

and some bugs that were fixed by reload or reboot of the game

[barren pewter]

well, to be fair

I've had a load more issues with more patches

launch day patch ran best for me

80 fps and only one issue of note

1.20 completely gimped performance

now I can't get a solid 50 with the same settings

idk how that worked

[small comet]

works fine for me on 1.3whatever it is

[fading spade]

it deep fries my game... wt fis going on

[bleak pike]

It's telling you to stop playing

[trail dove]

Genshin is pretty fun until you get late game when it's super grindy

Just don't spend money on it and it's ok

[unborn spruce]

Because slot machine mechanics.

Could easily have been a great game, but no.

[bleak pike]

Ye

Pretty much

[small comet]

gacha games best games if u get cute girls

thats why i sink money into azur lane

[fringe salmon]

wouldn't you get more from sinking money into private art commissions of those characters isntead

seems more money efficient to me

[unborn spruce]

^

It literally is.

[bleak pike]

Depends what you're doing when looking at said girls

XD

[unborn spruce]

But if you do that you don't get an addiction dopamine rush.

Bruh.

Probably 200 USD or so for a high af quality commission?

[fringe salmon]

given you can customise your request I would say in that case even more so

[bleak pike]

Well

Irs not always easy to find artwork you paid for as exciting as others

[trim rock]

So it's back to that good feeling after suffering 62 bad pulls to finally get what you want

[bleak pike]

"exciting"

[trim rock]

That you probably had to pay way more for

[fringe salmon]

well if we are on about spending money I thought it only fair to compare with something else that costs money

oh right thought of uhh pixiv? I think its called

gumroad is the patreon alternative right?

[trim rock]

Hmm, could NFTs make it better

[feral ferry]

Are people saying that Genshin doesn't make enough money?

Last I heard it's no1 most earning mobile game period

[fringe salmon]

idk what you read to get to that conclusion

[fading spade]

I got my Pro Controller working with Dolphin :D

the mapping is a bit off for NSMB Wii though ;-; I gotta figure that one out

it works well for mariokart though :D

yes!

Motion controls are working on my Switch pro controller

well... were working... idj why not anymore..

ok, now they work again

but I need to swap the mapping for two buttons around

Especially for AMD cpus it can boost the fps

[wheat kraken]

i know but the issue is i'm playing with a forge modpack

[ornate cedar]

from 130 to 500 or something

[unborn spruce]

A friend of mine has been throwing around an idea for a C++ server interceptor to run the data on multiple threads and doing a core rebuild, but the amount of work would literally take thousands of hours.

Biggest problem is mod compatibility.

Like sure we can keep compat, but javascript is just such an awful language.

[ornate cedar]

Java and javascript are totally different

both awful

[unborn spruce]

Yes.

And the fuckos using javascript and markup in their mods to load data for... reasons?

Idk, those mods lag up the ass and most people are doing it.

Theoretically you could have a compatibility layer and rebuild the entire core server in C++, but the sheer amount of mod problems you'd run into would vastly eclipse the work you'd need to put in for the rebuild initially.

With the other problem being that sure, let's say you do have it in C++, most people are inept with that language at best, it's why everybody keeps trying to simplify low level languages and we end up with super slow ones.

what constitutes bricking a computer?

I get it for like a Switch and shit but a computer?

[trim rock]

delete system32 probably

Just keeping it stupid simple so normies understand the implications I bet

[ripe tendon]

guess so since there isn't much you can't ultimately recover from

[ornate cedar]

I would define it like: unbootable state where it needs external intervention to recover.

[trim rock]

But I know some (older?) motherboards have garbage UEFI that completely shits itself if you delete all EFI vars, so that's pretty close to bricking

[bleak pike]

@ripe tendon can also prob run keyloggers somehow

Happened with titanfall

Where able to run stuff on the remote computer

[fringe salmon]

that was based on an older bug inside source engine though, since all source games had variations of that

so could be the case but no indication for it

[feral ferry]

Sounds like people who do not connect to MP would not be affected

Exploit's prolly something like joining MP services, booting up wireshark or something like that, hooking up to the packets sent, altering the code and sending them to a host's PC

Bit concerning since IPsec should protect from that

[ornate cedar]

That seems to me... self-evident.

[small comet]

or u just dont have darksouls
