What is ownership if you cant destroy your properties
I remember how someone shredded an artpiece immidiately after buying it. Paying millions for it. Just to shred it in front of everyone
ornate cedar
Both happened probably
fringe salmon
it was designed to be shredded but without the buyer or the auction people knowing about it
ornate cedar
Also, what is their definition of "digital secondary market". Because it's the only definition I think of would make Ubisoft guilty of fraud. By defination.
unless you go with fungible NFTs 
Fungibility is the ability of a good or asset to be readily interchanged for another of like kind.
How can you sell something that is not able to be interchanged
Either Ubisoft is willingly pushing a scam on the market or logic is broken
fading spade
wait wait, if the Steam Deck comes in a tiny cardboard box with just the carry case inside that box, does it not come with a charging brick?
unless the carry case is large enough to store it
ornate cedar
fading spade
would be pretty dope if the charger brick fit into the case also
ornate cedar
So conspiracy or hearsay?
fringe salmon
you think they'd ship it without charger lmao
fading spade
no, but i dont get the packaging, dont see how its in there
small comet
isnt the deck usb-c?
fringe salmon

more useless bricks

fading spade
I have a lot of 5W bricks, those are too slow to charge phones these days
I use them for my handheld console though
fading spade
xd
ornate cedar
Im not sure if my phone has any charge right now
small comet
not that fast charging is good for batteries
ornate cedar
6% wow, havent charged it in days
fading spade
o.o
small comet
the reasons batteries die these days is people charging while using it and using faster and faster chargers
fading spade
I try not to use phone laptop when charging it
small comet
like i charge every second or third day
fading spade
or my switch
fading spade
I have to use my phone while charging cause its my wifi source
small comet
we told u for yrs now
fading spade
so I got my computer and whatnot connected to it
fading spade
I have an acual router, when im at my student accomodation
thats whats my servers are running on!
two of them heheh
small comet
ur servers are running on the router? sounds like vest perf imagineable
poor 300mhz soc
fading spade
nah, but I need a router to make servers happen, otherwise people outside my network cant join it
cause cant port forward mobile data
fringe salmon
so thats why they call them gaming routers
fading spade
LOL
fringe salmon
they run servers on them
small comet
makes sense
fading spade
next gen routers

๐ค Valve had an interesting past
Nice job on unearthing ancient videos on games that are well known
feral ferry
Ricochet is well known?
If you are inept in game history doesn't mean nobody knows it
That's the one of the games that are massively requested for a sequel
orchid prism
No one knows Ricochet though
feral ferry
Man you zoomers don't know games
fading spade
If there is player created content [in a video game], there WILL be penises

orchid prism
Man you zoomers don't know games
I have the game. I'm just saying no one knows Ricochet. Now or back then ๐
It's the disc game from Tron
Yes ... and no one fucking knew it existed. Alongside... wanted? Whatever that western mod was called.
fading spade
Ive never played sniper class im Battlefield V
Is this really how the scopes look???
ITS SO HIGH
ornate cedar
๐คท Trash game lives up to its name
fading spade
The single player is fun, except the FUCKING FLAMETHROWERS who only die if you manage to shoot them with a rocket launcher
fossil solar
That scope looks to have a pretty high bore height so not the worst view model
fading spade
I hate how anally accurate you must be in BF4, if you are off by like half a pixel it wont damage the enemy
no matter how far away you are from them
hitbox too accurate
fossil solar
Thatโs not a bad thing 
fading spade
no, but when the mouse speed isnt consistent then it is
ornate cedar
Have you seen how unfair reality does it?
fading spade
LOL
fading spade
I know xd
fringe salmon
why should the game have to compensate favourably for one player side that you use mouse acceleration
fading spade
huh?
fringe salmon
if you say mouse speed is inconsistent that means you use mouse acceleration I would assume?
otherwise I dont see how that would happen
fading spade
idk what I use
I like black ops 3, the camera moves as fast as my hand moves basically 1:1 in distance
I move fast a small bit. it moves fast a little in game too
in bf4, it moves really fast compared to my hand
fringe salmon
so you have a different sensitivity? or just different scoped sensitivity?
fading spade
idk
been a while since I played it last
but I have to concentrate on how I move the mouse so I dont go too fast or too slow
cant get the speed right in game
fringe salmon
then change the sensitivity to the same you use in another game instead of wishing for inaccurate hitboxes xD
fringe salmon
let me guess you just simply set the ingame number to the same number?
for sensitivity
fading spade
yeah....
fringe salmon
..
fading spade
what? want me to dig into the obfuscated config file and edit that instead?
fringe salmon
setting it to the same doesnt mean setting it to the same number in the settings, for most games that is a different scale...
ornate cedar
When the speedlimit is 100 km/h instead of 100 mph 
fading spade
xd
fringe salmon
use that or any other google result that has the games you use
and input stuff so you get what setting equals the sensitivity of another game
fringe salmon
https://www.mousesensitivity.net/ is a simpler one the other has more options for FOV changes etc.
fading spade
I usually set FOV to like 88 or something about that in most games
this site doesnt have BL3
maybe they are the same values as 4

They are all less than โฌ2 currently

But it was on his wishlist
Even at full price it's not expensive but it's less than โฌ2 so yeah I got it for him
ashen lark

Hmm
My only worry is games not wanting to install to SD card
But this should be fast enough right?
orchid prism
Hmm
My only worry is games not wanting to install to SD card
But this should be...
UHS1 is the norm.
fading spade
If I buy a uhs 3 card, it won't work?
orchid prism
Oh it will. And you will notice a small loading boost.
Supposedly the reader has a limit of around 100MB/s. So it's kind of future proof?
orchid prism
That is the minimum for that class. Cards CAN be faster.
fading spade
Aha.... Nice
orchid prism
It's a "this SD card is guaranteed to run at least this fast" thing. Very important for cameras and such.
If the card isn't fast enough, you can't record video.
fading spade
Yeah
I've got over half a year to decide what SD card to buy .... Sssooooooooo
;_;
unborn spruce
I've got over half a year to decide what SD card to buy .... Sssooooooooo
For what device?
fading spade
Take a guess
Xd
What do I need to wait for several months to arrive to me?
Steam deck of course
unborn spruce
shrugs Could be something else.
Right so.
Doesn't Steam Deck have NVMe SSD slots?
fading spade
Ye
But you need a very specific size and as narrow one as possible
They said that some they tried cause interference in the teardown video
And I'm also not comfy taking apart such an expensive device on my own
fading spade
Yeah
I failed to wire up my computer correctly so my friend had to do it for me instead
I also failed to install the CPU cooler correctly .... So he fixed that too
I ain't good at diy
unborn spruce
You can only improve by giving it a shot.
Perhaps do a teardown with someone more experienced?
fading spade
I really don't want to give it a shot on a device that's close to โฌ600
unborn spruce
Hence with somebody more experienced.
unborn spruce
Tbh no micro SD card will be good for gaming on something like a Steam Deck.
Don't even bother trying, sadly.
They're alright for small games, but nothing you'd want to be doing on a Steam Deck aside from light emulation.
orchid prism
Well you say that - But Valve did a blind test when they showed it off initially. And no one could guess which type of storage their console used at the time.
So... it's not like you're going to play games with 4K textures anyhow ๐
fading spade
And if games do take advantage of having a separate download for the deck with lower res graphics and all that, then it won't matter even more
Valve made that a feature on the steam store
It detects that you have a deck and can download an optimised version of the game
young hill
but you can already lower graphical fidelity
fading spade
Yes
But you still downloading the higher resolution ones for no reason
orchid prism
Sure - But you're also downloading gigabytes of superfluous data. Wouldn't be a bad idea to make Steamdeck specific builds.
fading spade
This is a way to save storage space
young hill
Yes
But you still downloading the higher resolution ones for no reason
Oh you mean like dlc texture packs
orchid prism
More like... basegame texture packs.
Like how back in the CD game days, you'd pick a small or large install. Where some data would stay on the CD and be streamed as needed.
fading spade
No point downloading the 4k textures if your device is only 720p
So that's why they want to save space and have a Deck specific download for every game
orchid prism
Imagine Fallout 4 always included the 4K texture DLC. But the Steam client on your SteamDeck would grab a different branch without it. Cause it isn't supported.
young hill
Like how back in the CD game days, you'd pick a small or large install. Where so...
All I remember was demo mode vs full install
fringe salmon
with the exception that aside from big AAA games that feature wont do much since even on 720p you still want 4k textures quite often
downsampling, mip mapping etc.
fading spade
....I NEED VR RIGHT NOW
unborn spruce
....I NEED VR RIGHT NOW
You can give Holo headpats.
That's a function in the game.
Very deliberate.
fading spade
I KNOW!!
FREAKING ADORABLE
AGHHH I NEED IT
Someone in the steam comments said you can't interact with her at all in this game.... What???
Only the first game not this one
Is that true? ;_;
The first one specifically shows that you can do it
The screenshots for the second dont.... Wtf
fading spade
I wonder what valve are going to do for the Deck's Dock ....
The Deck only has a USB C on the top of it
So a dock like the Switch's one won't work on it
Unless they expect you to plug the Deck in upside down xdd
Or have a cable on it
slim token
it's shown on their promotion materials
it has a cable that extends to the top from the rear
fading spade
Hmm .....
I did see that but that but I figured it was a prototype
slim token
i'd prefer it over the stationary bottom male connection that scratches the device
slim token
it's easier to get it right with a cable
fading spade
True
Or you vound have a dock that is the exact width of the deck so you get it right everytime
slim token
think upside down ps controller style charger
fading spade
I got to look that up one sec xd

fading spade
think upside down ps controller style charger
That's the same as the switch controller xd the cable is angled down towards the surface it's on

That's an odd looking SNES controller.

It is clearly an airfryer. Something only an airfryer owner would know

They do go on upside down lol
Air friers are fucking awesome
Even someone with zero cooking skills like me can cook stuff with those
ornate cedar
Its a convection oven but rebranded
slim token
aligning the ps3 controllers and the psmove controllers to charge without scratching them was more difficult than getting a usb port right on the first attempt
fading spade

air fryers are easier and cleaner than frying and use less energy than turning on the entire oven for a small batch of fries

how is it stupid when every dark souls game had to deal with hackers invading others and instakilling them etc,
ripe tendon
and playing co-op opens you up to invasions by default I believe
orchid prism
Firewall rules intensify
fringe salmon
idk how it will be in elden ring but usually you can get invaded as long as you are not a hollow or similar state depending on which game
ripe tendon
I think that is how it is in Elden Ring. From what I heard you have to ask to be invaded as SP
but not 100%
I suspect not all videos have accurate information
fringe salmon
well hollow means you died and did not restore humanity, which gives you less health so if they keep it similar you have a reason for wanting to be in a state that can get invaded
ornate cedar
How about sane system design that doesnt overshare your information instead of anti-cheat
ripe tendon
oh so that's what happened to @young crow
fringe salmon
yes not having any flaws is the best but that is just not realistic to expect from such massive games

isnt the dlc included in the version of the game now or like cheap to get the entire deal something like that?
bleak pike
aint all of the dlc but fair
fringe salmon
yeah all the important/fun ones though
bleak pike
either way attatchments and guns should not be behind a second paywall honestly
fringe salmon
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ sure but given you can get basically all of it for 15 idc that much
and most of them aren't really needed or even better anyway
bleak pike
and this is sale price
fringe salmon
yesn't
the non sale price is -75%
instead of 83%
so 17 bucks instead or w/e that would round up to
yeah but for the most part the dlc attachments aren't really needed and once you need it you have so many hours in and are at a point where imo it's fair to basically have some more spent
and yeah, one time purchase would not be able to keep content coming for that long
and skins in a sp/coop game just isn't doing the same as in a pvp game
fringe salmon
it's also close to a decade old
half life? a single player game?
that is a completely different style lmao
and full on cartoon look would not fit a game like payday, would be the opposite of synergy
well what did you mean with synergy
oh thought you meant just the word
still focused on single player, not waves of enemies and stealth etc.
like pd2 is far from perfect but for what they had at the time I think it's perfectly fine
not that hard if you already have issues so you wont care about more tickets anyway
the engine itself just is too outdate at this point
ai, performance, network, general bugs sometimes
I had more than enough in the close to 500 hours I played the game ๐
yeah crashes I only had a few times
which one lol
you mean the one that is the end of the story thing?
ah right that one
there is another one that idk if it takes that long, been a few years since I played it
yeah I think now you just get skins you can still get or smth idk

But now that I can actually type I should mention that alcohol is one of the few legal drugs we have, none of which are a good thing to ingest by anything less than adults.

everyone, technically
unborn spruce
The amount of reasons I'd say are actually worth using something like heroin are next to none.
Sure if you're one of those actual rare cases with a good reason? Sure fine.
But almost any other kind? Oof.
What drugs?
Eesh.
Never gonna be without that craving. Heroin is fucked chemically.
Not impossible to just not do it by sheer force of will, but heroin is maybe one of the worst drugs you could possibly touch.

not by standards of addiction

That had to start somewhere. I get the desperation but med school should have taught him the basic stuff.
Mmmm.
How much of the drug use do you reckon was his brother's death and how much was work?
Hospitals are notorious for massive staff suicides and deaths.
Something like 3 to 8 times more likely.
Also a good 25% or so clinical depression ratio. Absolutely awful.
Poor docs really need better support and care.
Yeeee
One thing I think people really need to do is stop trying to use docs as drug dispensers or just ignoring basic medical advice.
Cannot even remotely imagine now unamused docs must get after an idiot comes back in for the 7th time for the same thing.
That must just be awful.

very much depends on the area of expertise I imagine

For me I'd rather be able to retire at 30 and actually put time and care into my kids.

For me I'd rather be able to retire at 30 and actually put time and care into my...
yeah, that would be ideal
unborn spruce
Preferably also be able to safety net both them and my descendants, but I likely won't ever be able to do that.
Won't stop me from trying.
In which country?
fading spade
my moms house is too far in the middle of nowhere for me to want to live in it full time
unborn spruce
Ah.
fading spade
I do not want to drive 20 minutes along a narrow road to get to town
unborn spruce
Yeah, move the fuck away from there.
Come to aussieland, we have it better here.
Aussieland is actually reasonable in a lot of ways.
fading spade
Aussieland is actually reasonable in a lot of ways.
except internet privacy
unborn spruce
just has a lot of insects that kill you
And spiders and snakes. 
unborn spruce
except internet privacy
Oh shush, there's a boatload of ways around that.
ornate cedar
If only there was some institution who could offer those safety nets
fringe salmon
and a history of losing wars with animals
unborn spruce
Oh shit srs? Where'd he go?
Probably to Brisbane or Sydney area.
We have it better here than most other places.
Is it the climate or the animals?
unborn spruce
The privacy laws are on paper only.
Literally nobody enforces them. Aussieland cops and feds are pretty laid back about that.
fading spade
all airport security is a bitch
unborn spruce
Only time I hear of cops bringing any heat to the table is when someone does massive amounts of uploading or trying to sneak animals in.
unborn spruce
all airport security is a bitch
Nah.
Go through metal detector with bags through xray and they'll only bother you if they find anything sus as fuck in the bags.
So firearms, food, animals, drugs, etc.
Otherwise it's in and out.
Source? Been to Africa 7 times.
It's always in and out if you aren't being sus as fuck.

or liquids over x amount

Nah, they're fine with those.
Yeeee.
My grandmother loves to go there for safari, usually takes me.
ornate cedar
Just be white and you should be fine
unborn spruce
She's a photographer, few better places for that other than 6 meters away from a leopard while it's hauling away a kill.
Oh ikr.
They'll pull fully dead animals like Nyala up into trees.
ripe tendon
when you're that fast you can be as weird as you want
unborn spruce
And Nyala are not small animals.
ornate cedar
Stare at them and keep staring at them as you back away
slim token
that goes for any creature out there
ornate cedar
Turn your back and it will pounce at you
unborn spruce
Usually when you're on a safari you have 2 trackers that're armed.
The few sketchy occasions for me are when an elephant is posturing at you, but otherwise it's usually pretty chill.
The real time is gets sketchy is when you're just in a lodge and it's completely open to the animals.
ornate cedar
that goes for any creature out there
Nope, a lot of animals will interpret it as a sign of aggression
unborn spruce
Once saw one of these in person, it was maybe 40cm away from my face.
That was a fucking scary shit encounter.
It's a Nyala, about 1.5m tall or so.
slim token
im going to die not knowing about ninety five percent of the animals on this planet
ripe tendon
who knows how many are in the ocean we're unaware of
ornate cedar
Looks like a gazelles horn
unborn spruce
Lmfao
But no, I did come pretty close to dying that day.
Had it decided I was fucking around and I got speared through the chest there's about a 90%ish chance I'd be dead.
I remember being in Motswari and while their medical isn't bad, it's also not super well equipped to deal with stab wounds of that order.
Idk, what else do you call it?
Yeah, true.
Oh fuck no.
Those horns would be going in and coming right back out.
ornate cedar
unborn spruce
Tbh that's the closest I've come in maybe 10 years.
Next closest was being surrounded by like 30 elephants.
We had to call in some backup from the Sabi Sands and they rocked up with like 20 cars.
Kinda sketchy, but all they were doing is posturing.
Though with that said if an elephant charges a safari car like that it's going to get flipped multiple times.
She's good at what she does.
I'll see if I can't find something.
Iirc this was for creative comp.
Minimal cleanup, pretty good lens.
Competition limitations are annoying. Had to be minimal changes but still noticeable.
Oh you should see some of the shit she's gotten with her macro lens.
No idea how but once she got this weird ass looking fly thing on a dandelion.
All perfectly in focus.
It's wack.
Oh like 15 years or so.
She's been into competitions for the last decadeish, but about 15 years total.
Some of the bird shots as well.
Once got an eagle's talons skimming the water as it's flying directly at a fish.
Beautiful focus and got a few pics of it flying away with said fish.
I'll do so when she gets back. Currently on a safari atm.
Yeee
Had been planning for a few years now. Just said fuck it and stopped caring about COVID.
Ah she'll be fine.
Triple vaccinated, she has maybe a 3%ish chance at death if she gets it.
If it's good enough for the James Webb launch it's good enough for any of us.

Are you just looking at my wishlist? I have those same games on it as well as Elden Ring
small comet
frick elden ring
novel umbra
why
small comet
because elden ring is elden expensive for elden not enough content
which costs even more elden money
wanna bet the dlc is 30bucks
fringe salmon
how do you know its not enough content
novel umbra
because elden ring is elden expensive for elden not enough content

how long is it

dont think anyone knows that yet
but given its going to have multiple endings and different playstyles unlike sekiro
I'd doubt it's less than previous souls games

Watching PS fanboys rage is great, ngl.

especially over PC announcements
unborn spruce
Doesn't quite have that same level of vitriol that League rage does, but it's close.

MLB the show?
ah
baseball game
wdym
mario baseball is a thing
also few EU releases
so I wouldn't know
lol
anyone can make a baseball game
just not MLB
wait wasn't there a giga shitty baseball game in the weird nintendo games collection thingy
which was essentially just throwing weird balls
and never scoring
rip
well wait for 21 ig
not on release
maybe later on
haven't even heard about solar crown before
not much no
ye
well
will it
that is the thing
and the games are the profitable part
not the consoles
nice
na for me forza is just arcady enough
is it officially announced yet?
unborn spruce
Honestly Forza is becoming a bit of a mess as far as naming goes.
Needs a big 'ol rebrand.
novel umbra
I assume at this point we can safely say that the leaked nvidia date won't be true
uhh is the naming a mess?
I mean motorsport is a shit title
unborn spruce
On the motorsport side, kinda.
unborn spruce
For normal Forza and Horizon it's fine.
novel umbra
when even was the last normal forza game
unborn spruce
Fuck knows.
novel umbra
that was neither horizon or motorsport
unborn spruce
Forza 4?
unborn spruce
The fuck am I remembering then? 
novel umbra
is it
unborn spruce
New game can be Forza Motorsport, sequel can be Forza Motorsport 2(023)
novel umbra
lol
novel umbra
please don't
unborn spruce
A true Intel naming choice.
novel umbra
then we need to wait almost 1000 years for the next one
unborn spruce
Nah.
novel umbra
new one is motorsport
unborn spruce
Between the games we can rerelease them as annual releases.
novel umbra
next one will be motorsport + weird sub title
unborn spruce
So Forza Motorsport+
unborn spruce
And then Forza Motorsport 2++
novel umbra
na
unborn spruce
Just make it confusing as fuck.
unborn spruce
Mate c'mon.
Let's just write it in javascript and perform an engine upgrade once every 5 years.
It can be like a bank.
Banks still work, COBOL isn't outdated.
unborn spruce
Nothing could go wrong, trust me.
We can even use HTML for the UI.
Throw in some Python for the rendering.
Very good game.
novel umbra
very cursed
recently bought a game that was actually just chromium
weird one at that
can recommend

what does sony have to gain
bleak pike
"Q. Bungie has future games in development, will they now become PlayStation exclusives? โ
No. We want the worlds we are creating to extend to anywhere people play games. We will continue to be self-published, creatively independent, and we will continue to drive one, unified Bungie community. โ"
This makes no sense
fringe salmon
why
bleak pike
Sony gain nothing from this
fringe salmon
yes?
bleak pike
All games wont be exclusive, nor will content or future games
fringe salmon
you do realize if they make a game and sell it on xbox they still make money from it?
like self published does not mean bungie keeps all the money they make and that sony makes nothing from it
bleak pike
i hope it means a cash injection and quality content
fringe salmon
I hope it means an end to these insane acquisitions
though I think its sadly more likely to just have been the start
bleak pike
This might also confirm the data mine of an emblem called "portable power"
Being a steam deck port or switch
With them saying "other platforms"
young hill
I hope it means an end to these insane acquisitions
Microsoft can now buy Steam
fringe salmon
cant buy what isnt being sold
fossil solar
Theyโre buying bungie so Microsoft canโt buy bungie

Theyโre buying bungie so Microsoft canโt buy bungie
I guess that makes sense at the end of the day, but Bungie is such in a crappy state.

sounds shit

PC wins though
fossil solar
PS fanboy - why donโt you get better first party games Microsoft 
Microsoft buys Bethesda, Activision-Blizzard
Noooooo you canโt just have a bunch of exclusives! 
Itโs true tho
PC wins
Sony first party games coming to PC
Basically every Xbox game is coming to PC

Still counts

Like it is much work to port from xbox to pc

none at all

Clearly those crackers aren't working hard enough to prove Denuvo isn't worth it.
Isn't the new Farcry still uncracked months later?
feral ferry
There's like only 1 cracker working on Denuvo rn
CPY has disappeared, as always
Only empress rn
To be fair, who tf wants to play that trash of a game, FC6? 
feral ferry
I mean, if they provide Dying Light 2 on game pass or something like that
I'd not pirate it
As it stands I don't have the cash to spend 60 bucks for every single release
unborn spruce
Ngl most games aren't even worth the 60.
feral ferry
Ngl most games aren't even worth the 60.
Not at all
orchid prism
My take - If you're going to charge 60$ for something (plus season pass and whatever the fuck they do these days), then treat me like a customer, not a criminal.
I'm not going to buy Denuvo style games until years after they stop being relevant, cause I'm kind of big into longterm conservation. I'd be a lot less upset if they had a 3-6month limited Denuvo implementation.
feral ferry
And the refund policy just plain sucks mostly
unborn spruce
No fucking idea how people are justifying paying upward of 150 for editions.
Just...
Bruh.
feral ferry
The amount of time I would have paid 30$ just to try it out and hate it
And be unable to refund it
Is just sad
Most games are just not fun and the 2 hour refund policy is not enough
unborn spruce
My take - If you're going to charge 60$ for something (plus season pass and what...
I just pirate everything with Denuvo.
Idc, at some stage I wash my hands of that idiotic decision.
orchid prism
I just pirate everything with Denuvo.
I refer you to the Farcry example further up ๐

Go DRM free or don't support scumbags, I'll buy your game in that case.

Good thing I don't play trash. 
Last FC game I even remotely enjoyed was Blood Dragon.

That was defo more of a play it because nothing else released that year.

So where'd CPY fuck off to?

Who tf knows
They were missing like for a year and a half
Came back, released a bunch of cracks for Denuvo games for a few weeks
And disappeared ever since
Been a few years now

Already modders are fixing Legends Arceus.
AI upscaled textures looking good. Also draw distance/LOD improvements, FPS improvements, physics improvements.
Canโt wait for rom hacks to happen.
small comet
why trees gone

Honestly super impressed.
Weโve had the game for all of a week and collectively the modding community decided this is not ok.
Super good work on the LOD mod, tho.

Left side is vanilla, right is modded.
Note the difference in the cliffside texturing and the grass rendering.
