[modest helm]

^

it’s okay, not great

but workable

[bleak pike]

Like, why is there control buttons everywhere.

Why do i have to right click to go back in the menu.

also why 60fps

[fringe salmon]

because back button closes menu on consoles

[unborn spruce]

Because fuck you, this is Skyrim development where the physics are tied to the framerate for reasons.

What you can do is run your framerate on exact multiples of 30 and it won't destroy the phsyics.

Just if you're dipping too far below for too long then you'll get wonky bullshit.

[feral ferry]

Suck your mom

[unborn spruce]

No u

Go get a good engine.

[feral ferry]

We got one, Creation 2

[unborn spruce]

Spaghetti engine doesn't count.

I used the word good.

'Sides, nothing out even uses Creation 2.

Stop choking on the dick of people that don't give a fuck about you for 2 minutes and use the free air to think.

[bleak pike]

Hol up

[feral ferry]

Jeez Aeon's pissy today

[bleak pike]

This story was meant to be written by um

The big George right

[unborn spruce]

Always.

[bleak pike]

https://mrpl.me/S25858b_rfi4.jpg

is my game borked

[unborn spruce]

Today I'm fine, I just have a very low tolerance for stupid bullshit.

[feral ferry]

Cancel yourself then

[unborn spruce]

Looks alright, just a very dark room, I guess?

[bleak pike]

i mean the controls

being controller

[unborn spruce]

You're using a wooting kb?

[bleak pike]

no

[unborn spruce]

Oh.

[unborn spruce]

[trim rock]

Isn't that just how it is in those games

[unborn spruce]

Dark souls has had that problem for ages.

[trim rock]

Set "Device for On-Screen Prompts" to "Keyboard and Mouse" to show keyboard prompts for controls.

This is why you always go through settings in games

[bleak pike]

mate

the menu is just awful

i wanted to avoid it

[unborn spruce]

Does it not autodetect like every other game ever?

Cancel that.

It's From Soft.

No, it doesn't.

[trim rock]

Actually this is preferred, if it supports simultaneous input from mouse and keyboard and controller.. for analog keyboard and stuff!

[bleak pike]

sigh

screentear

[unborn spruce]

I mean yeah, but autodetect with multi input and overrides is preferred.

[bleak pike]

and ofc i cant unlock fps

because of EAC

or well i can but offline only

[trim rock]

Yeah you don't want to miss out on all those let there be head messages

[unborn spruce]

What, don't you like 60FPS? The folks over at From are living back in 2011, why can't you?

[fringe salmon]

yeah still not a great pc port with these things but at least not a ds1 like port

and game just is just designed for controller tbf

[orchid prism]

Iirc you can unlock FPS in nVidia panel. Not sure if that triggers anticheat (lol)

[fading spade]

my friend got banned from the game today

just loaded into it and a few minutes got kicked and cant login anymore

[bleak pike]

I lasted 5 minutes

[bleak pike]

you cannot, i tried.

[orchid prism]

[fading spade]

AGGHHH
JOHNNYS ROUTE OR HANKOWAS ROUTE???

[bleak pike]

What

[fading spade]

nearing the end of the main cyberpunk story

Do I trust Hanakowa or Johnny to get me to Mikoshi?

[feral ferry]

Hanakowa?

That's not their name

And also, never trust Arasaka

[bleak pike]

Trust them

They are great

You get cookies

[fading spade]

@barren pewter HALP ME

I want to avoid the ending where everyone ends up hating you

cause I know thats an ending

[barren pewter]

Either rogue or panam

Either works, suicide and the arasaka paths...not so much

[fading spade]

FUCK IT

[feral ferry]

Or take the best ending

Just kill yourself

[fading spade]

ok....Maybe this is the worst plan...leading them all to death :/

[fading spade]

nah, that is my plan for IRL tomorrow

[feral ferry]

oof

I hope not

[barren pewter]

Lana

No

Bad lana

[small comet]

best ending is deffo path of glory

[feral ferry]

I don't think there is a good ending

In all endings you will die anyways, most likely

[small comet]

yes

but

thats not necessarily bad

||In one ending your own digital Engram is stored till they find a way to adapt you into a new body. In any other besides suicide you either live on behind the black wall with Alt or Johnny does depending on who you let own the body.||

spoilers for endings

dont click if u wanna play em yourself

[feral ferry]

That's not necessarily true

[small comet]

oh right there is the first one but u just say no

[feral ferry]

|| V's conscious is already, in a way, overwritten, there is no real reliable way to get Johnny fully out of him ||

[small comet]

/her

||while true that its partially overwritten a later restore would mean V can live on without being fully overwritten||

[feral ferry]

|| True, but yeah it'd be a weird life for him, since over half of him is already corrupt ||

[small comet]

/her

someone played male V exclusively

[feral ferry]

|| Unless V's own memories aren't fully overwritten, and they are simply integrated with Johnny's until he takes over ||

[small comet]

or was there an official lore gender

[feral ferry]

I've got no clue, but I played female and male

[small comet]

u gave the female a dick i assume?

[feral ferry]

Not in a million years

[small comet]

weird that u refer to V as him exclusively

[feral ferry]

Ah

Yeah lore wise V is male iirc

[small comet]

cant really find any lore definition

and the wikis all say dependant as in player choice

[bleak pike]

https://mrpl.me/e65863b_rfa1.mp4 smooth

Also all endings are poo

[fringe salmon]

ur poo

[small comet]

callum aying smooth at a poo game and calling a rather ok game poo

classic callum

[fringe salmon]

very poo poo

HELP

[feral ferry]

Lana

Ever heard of "playing the game yourself"

[fading spade]

I want the better ending

and idk wtf that one is

[fringe salmon]

google it or save the game beforehand

[barren pewter]

^^

[fading spade]

cant save the game

wont let

[barren pewter]

you also get to do the end sequences as many times as you want

you get a forced save in front of Embers that loads after the endings

:P

[fading spade]

yeah but then got to do all the shit after embers

thats like 3 hours of gameplay

[barren pewter]

...

it's really not

it's 30 minutes
an hour if I'm feeling generous

[fading spade]

they both seem to want me to return to body

[barren pewter]

LANA JUST PICK ONE FFS

<3

[fading spade]

AND NOW THE GUILT TRIP STARTS

[fringe salmon]

one day games can be played without liveblogging maybe

[fading spade]

I love the idea that the legendary musician, Johnny Silverhands, now has to get used to playing guitar with long nails

:')

[fading spade]

MULTIPLAYER????

[ashen lark]

guitar with long nails sounds not good
Had uneven nails for a bit because of guitar and me being too lazy, and only needing to make them short on some fingers

[feral ferry]

It's in development

[feral ferry]

You really do comment on literally everything you see

[fringe salmon]

I keep saying, make a blog or twitter account for it

[feral ferry]

New age of journalism

[fading spade]

Is the monowire worth it?

[barren pewter]

no

just install the legendary gorilla arms you got with beating the game

I'd also be shocked if you don't have the legendary animal knuckles gorilla arms mod by this point

slap that on if you have it

[slim token]

time to practice for draft

[young hill]

Technically you can refuse but expect to be imprisoned

[small comet]

doesnt exist.... and why all dem spoilers

[fading spade]

Just woke up to email from Nintendo thanking me for my purchase

I panicked thinking someone must have accessed my account

Nope
It automatically paid for the Mariokart DLC I pre-ordered

[bleak pike]

Tis usually how it works xD

[fading spade]

I had thought id paid already when I reserved it

cause thats what happened with Disco Elysium

[unique bane]

@fringe salmon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hmzhs0pCt0E

[unique bane]

@vital wyvern Is that a good thing? Oblivion was so good

^^

Looks very immersive to me

Yeah that's what they aiming for. Need a torch or use fire spells or fire arrows to lit up so you can actually see

Yeah that's great!

If you have the tools to combat it

atleast on some group members

check the weather system

[novel umbra]

oh boy

I never looked at gameplay

that really does look like oblivion

but like

low settings

+good lighting and textures

[unique bane]

Unity is pretty pog these days

[novel umbra]

hasn't been terrible for a while

just people meming it

cause bad games don't pay to remove the logo

[unique bane]

lol

that's funny

[small comet]

my mom also doesnt pay to remove the logo

[novel umbra]

lol

[unique bane]

That "milky way" spinning makes me already sick tho

maybe it's slow enough

[small comet]

looks like landmark kinda

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/CgqzmY-atZE

I like this a lot

but the shell costs the same as the Lite itself does

[fading spade]

It seems that Valve have disable ERTM on bootup, to allow Xbox controllers to work out of the box over Bluetooth

Thats great :D

[fallow bronze]

Ertm?

[small comet]

engine room team management

is just a BT protocol btw

enhanced transmission mode or smth

[fading spade]

it blocks xbox controllers from working in some cases on Linux

over BT anyway

https://youtu.be/BoVMWNeVLf4

HAH, IT WASNT PROPLEY PATCHED

THEY FOUDN A WAY TO DO IT IN 1.18

DAMNN!!!!

Its a way to sync a hotbar slot with a slot in a chest

so you can automatically refill and empty your hotbar slot

no matter where in the world you are in relation to the chest

[unique bane]

@vital wyvern I bought a whiskey bottle and good red wine

[ashen lark]

Why does a 1.0 tank in wt have discarding sabot?

[feral ferry]

Cause it can?

What tank

[ashen lark]

Swedish tanks, not just one

[feral ferry]

I mean, APDS is a shell that's been a thing for a long time

[ashen lark]

Hmm by name it sounds like it’s 1949 shell

[feral ferry]

Tank

What tank is it

[ashen lark]

I mean there were some experimental shells during WW2 but 1.0 br

Strv m38

[feral ferry]

Pre-WW2 design

[ashen lark]

Except in at it’s even faster and has higher penetration

[feral ferry]

WT isn't fully historically accurate, you know?

Good review

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/zW8XeqCLf4o

Audio drivers arent available yet for Windows on Deck

But the rest of the hardware works

So you either need bluetooth headphones or speakers to hear the game

[feral ferry]

Nice trademarks

[fading spade]

ooooooooooooooooo

wut

HOW??

[trim rock]

Yeah

[ornate cedar]

Standard practice since the dawn of time

[trim rock]

Those accounts basically have an add to account button next to the buy button

That's cheating!

[unborn spruce]

@young crow You wanna house a small PC for me to run Prowlarr on?

https://tenor.com/view/pirate-autopirate-selfdriven-automatic-gif-9475387

Hmmm...

Consuming nor housing pirated media in Sweden is not a crime, pirating media in Russia is not a crime, using a VPN in Australia is not a crime.

Piracy fully legalised.

[young crow]

wtf is prowlarr

[unborn spruce]

Basically it locates media by mass checking trackers.

Just add all the public ones and private ones you have access to and running a search on, Avengers Endgame, for example, will search every single one for the most seeded and highest quality link.

Then using other shit you can automatically download and sort it.

[fading spade]

Oled yes

90Hz, nah

Maybe in Deck 2 or 3 when its powerful enough to play all games at that rate

and battery life can be better

cause rn the shortest battery life is about 2 hours if you dont cap FPS

[fringe salmon]

you realize 90hz screen doesnt mean you can no longer cap it at 60 or lower?

[fading spade]

yeah, but if you are going to cap at 30, like most people with the Deck suggest, then why need that 9Hz screen?

well, cap at 30 for heavy AAA games

[fringe salmon]

so you can use 90 for games where it works?

[fading spade]

Yeah, I guess

thats my attitude with my current monitor LOL

[fringe salmon]

because heavy AAA on tiny screen sucks anyway

[fallow bronze]

No Vrr IMHO is a big miss

[fringe salmon]

are 60hz panels even being made with vrr?

I mean I guess it works over hdmi's vrr but how about a direct panel like the deck has?

[fallow bronze]

Especially a kinda low spec device benefits from vrr

[unborn spruce]

Lmao wait what? Deck only does 60FPS?

[fallow bronze]

The screen is 60hz

[unborn spruce]

Cringe emulation station, it could trivially run older games at higher framerate.

Like c'mon, at least put the option there.

[fringe salmon]

you can do more if you use it as pc with external monitor

[fading spade]

barely in heavy games

[fading spade]

Do Tomb Raider games have DRM and / or anticheat?

Since they are singleplayer only

Does that apply to Steam only?

cause all the Tomb raider games I have are in Epic store

I want to use Heroic launcher on Deck for them and add them to steam

[ornate cedar]

[fading spade]

O.o you cant use Xbox Cloud gaming on a web browser in Linux???

what if you change your useragent?

[ornate cedar]

🤨

defuq you doin

[fading spade]

I want to try xbox game streaming

so how my wifi handles it

[ornate cedar]

silverlight? does that even exist anymore

[fading spade]

oh, cant even test anything, I dont have game pass ultimate

[ornate cedar]

[fading spade]

idk, dont watch Twitch

can stream yt fine though

ye

I just bumped it up all the way and its loading without issue

the framerate is all over th eplace on YT

[ornate cedar]

Dropping frames? git gud?

[bleak pike]

Welcome to Linux

[fading spade]

yeah, cause im streaming 8 fucking K

on YT

OFC itll struggle

[bleak pike]

Oh I grt frame rate issues at any res

Gave up

[fading spade]

dafuq

its perfectly fine on 60

yt no go higher so cant speak for that

mpv struggle atr 8k

😍 Valve configured the SteamInput to assign the screenshot shortcut to the actual screenshot button the Switch pro Controller :D
so it works the same way on Deck as it does on Switch

LOL

[weak cypress]

It does though.

[fading spade]

It doesnt though.

[weak cypress]

Not pre-installed, no.

But there are plenty of free games on Steam.

[trim rock]

Intradesting

[fading spade]

Not surprising

[fringe salmon]

probably about the same after some driver updates

not all drivers on windows are finalized iirc

[fading spade]

yeah, they are just dropped a few days ago

And the audio driver does not exist yet

[fading spade]

It looks like a mid-generation PS4 game
David - Elden Ring

[fringe salmon]

ah yes

david

that guy

[unborn spruce]

I mean he’s not wrong, it does in places.

[fading spade]

Hes a former playstation developer

2001 to 2017

[fringe salmon]

ok

[unborn spruce]

Beautiful in others, particularly the NPC design, but he’s really not wrong about it looking mid PS4.

[fading spade]

Says he cares more about the gameplay

but then proceeds to shit all over the graphics

[unborn spruce]

Like launch day PS4 Pro kind of capability.

[fringe salmon]

not much to improve there though

[unborn spruce]

Eh, sheer graphical fidelity could be.

[fringe salmon]

at least not while keeping it as open and still running on a ps4

[unborn spruce]

Ah that’s not an amazing excuse and we both know it.

Easily could package low res textures for legacy hardware.

An extra 20 gig or so? Few people will bitch at that while Warzone is Warzone.

[fringe salmon]

sure, but under the limit of the game being the same on all platforms

idk if you could do a ton more

[unborn spruce]

Theoretically possible since Warzone is Warzone and is everywhere.

None of the platforms seem to care how high you go on install size, so I mean...

Yeah for better graphics I’d be happy enough with adding another 50 gig or so. 30 for better textures and 20 for legacy textures.

[fringe salmon]

you also have to keep in mind when they made it

there was no ps5 devkit when they started it

hell even the cpu/gpu IP was just in development, not even the custom chips for ps5

also still no clue who that david is or why it matters ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[unborn spruce]

Aaaaah yeah that’s true enough.

Though I suppose they could always just fire up any PC and work on textures.

[fringe salmon]

not really?

[unborn spruce]

Can’t think of any particular reason consoles would outright require particular texture design methods that can’t be done on a PC.

Maybe file formats or what have you, but that should be transferable, no? The actual data, I mean.

[fringe salmon]

I don't think just increasing texture quality is the thing that would make this look "better"

[unborn spruce]

Oh of course not, but you should still be able to work on textures in a better and more powerful platform.

[fringe salmon]

yes of course they dev on a pc lmao

but it was still 3+ years of development before they maybe had a ps5 dev kit

[unborn spruce]

Indeed, so why not create better textures and render them with better hardware. :p

[unborn spruce]

Presumably this wouldn’t effect downscaling some textures and throwing a legacy copy in.

[fringe salmon]

again, textures are not an issue so you wouldnt really gain much from just higher res textures

[unborn spruce]

Yeah but higher res and better textures would hurt legacy performance.

Hence downscaling as a first dirty solution.

Though I would expect other methods to be used as well.

[fringe salmon]

I mean yeah that is also used to some extent usually

I guess technically they could probbaly release an HD pack with what they have with full 8k textures etc.

it just wouldn't do much

[unborn spruce]

Hmmm.

What res do they even make the original textures in?

Probably something absurdly high.

[fringe salmon]

depends on what they are used for and how their pipeline is set up

probably 4k/8k for main things and lower rest for others

but you still dont make them look good in 4k and hope it looks fine in 1080p downscaled

you make it so it looks good 1080p

[unborn spruce]

True, true.

[fringe salmon]

also people already complained about the increases min spec on pc lmfao

and min spec is just a 1060

[unborn spruce]

Srs?

[fringe salmon]

ya

[unborn spruce]

._.

This shit boggles the mind.

If you want lower min spec then stop running awful technology.

DirectX, for example, can fuck off. Vulkan looks like a better future in all ways.

Or OpenGL if we had competent programmers being a more common thing.

[fringe salmon]

25% of users are 1060 or worse spec on steam

[unborn spruce]

We both know if you ran something on well dev’d Vulkan or OpenGL games them you’d see minimums going back down to Maxwell.

[fringe salmon]

nah

[unborn spruce]

Mmmmm, 980Ti is weirdly good still.

[fringe salmon]

dx has issues sure but just as lots of people use it because they used it for decades, it also means lots of new people use it and use it badly

sure in some cases vulkan is a lot better

but not like only idiots work at microsoft that dont understand how to make something good

[unborn spruce]

Oh for sure.

But at the end of the day DX is well known to be misused by dumbasses because the barrier to entry is so low it’s dug into the ground.

Vulkan and GL don’t seem to be quite that bad yet.

Not immune to the same problem, but I am for sure finding less garbage being made with Vulkan than I am seeing good things.

[fringe salmon]

but that doesnt mean well made vulkan games would be better than well made DX games 😛

[unborn spruce]

It does so long as the dumbasses leeching onto DX can’t use Vulkan at all.

[fringe salmon]

anyway, in this case they went from like a 760 to 1060 as min spec compared to ds3/sekiro

and the game looks a lot better than the older titles

and it has to run on ps4

so I dont see an issue

[unborn spruce]

Yeeeee

Ngl if you’re that desperate to play the game then just upgrade or do cloud gaming or smth for a month.

There are options that aren’t ‘2000 euro GPU go brrrrr’

[fringe salmon]

yeah but David would still complain 😛

I cant wait for the tracks coming out in 2 days

I havent and wont play Tour, so being able to play those tracks on Switch in MK8D will be nice

[clear parrot]

Yeah, I agree, and I just bought the DLOC as I completely forgot about it.

[fading spade]

yeah xd I forgot I didnt pay during the reservation, so a few days ago, I woke up to two emails from Nintendo thanking me for my purchase
Got in a panik thinking someone was using my account somehow

then I looked in the email and it was the DLC

[clear parrot]

Hehehe.

I just bought a DLC code from a local game store's website.

[fringe salmon]

you know you can google it right?

[fading spade]

Apex??

Its also suggesting halo infinite but the UI is def not Halo

[trail dove]

Apex legends

it's arenas though

not the battle royale mode

[fading spade]

arenas is basically team deathmatch?

[trail dove]

And EA.

Titanfall was a great game so I started playing apex and it was much less fun but my friends play it so I do as well

[young hill]

Titanfall story was messy, Titanfall 2 had worse multiplayer maps

[fading spade]

TF" is very fun to play

[young hill]

But other than that simple and great

[fading spade]

I love the gunplay and parkour

we're going to get vored by the average baby park fan
Mayro - 2022 - Driving into a clowns mouth in a Mariokart Wii custom track

[barren pewter]

Baby Park was legit the worst track in Mariokart DS

[fading spade]

and Switch

[barren pewter]

ew

get a steamdeck, weirdo

[fading spade]

Yeah

in 8 months

sure

[trail dove]

oh yeah there was an interview with post malone and you could see his apex coins and he had I think around $25k worth

oh nvm apparently it was $100k

damn

WHY THOUGH

They removed support WTF

[barren pewter]

Lana

this is good

shitty publishers removing their shit games or preventing them from being on steam deck, and therefore linux

first anything-but-epic games
now EA

oh

and bungle too

with their D2 shit

[fading spade]

I still want to play tomb raider

On Deck

Fuck epic
They definitely removed the support file

[barren pewter]

fuck epic in general
getting any game I wanted to play on PC

then putting it on their shit platform with an exclusivity contract

I wouldn't even be as pissed if it wasn't so god awful of a platform

[fading spade]

Imma use heroic launcher to play tomb raider
Then if I like the games I'll buy them in steam

So that I have them in steam and not epic

I wonder why the Deck is a handheld and not a second attempt at a console?

[barren pewter]

PC gaming on the go is a much smaller market for Valve to pull an apple and make mainstream

they'd have a serious uphill battle doing the console route

and mobile hardware has made such great leaps and bounds that it's actually a legitimate option for playing AAA games

[barren pewter]

[novel umbra]

for functional anticheat

no anticheat can properly work on linux

unless they would be above the kernel

I sure hope it's a Starfield video

That game needs more gameplay footage, context, lore

[fallow bronze]

wasnt there a native tombraider port?

[bleak pike]

Bungie ain't blocking steam deck

What's happening now has always been a thing for Linux

They just updated their faq

[bleak pike]

Only the latest I think?

Nvm rise and shadow

[bleak pike]

Noice

[ashen lark]

of kingdoms; Legends?

[bleak pike]

What

Afaik tomb raider 2012 doesn't have a native port

Oh

Replying to bexin

[ashen lark]

Just joking about raid shadow legends and the other annoying app that’s always in ads

[barren pewter]

eh fuck it

time for another playthrough of The Division

one of the few ubi games I absolutely love

[bleak pike]

Really?

[barren pewter]

yes really

[bleak pike]

Found both minds meh tbh

Cool concept

[barren pewter]

The Division 2 was really ass in comparison

[bleak pike]

I did have some dun with 1 though

[barren pewter]

but the original...mmm

[bleak pike]

Ye I'd agree with that

[barren pewter]

I played both again at the start of the pandemic

really matched my mood at the time

fighting for the tiniest sliver of hope

2 left a mega sour taste in my mouth though

sucked donkey balls

[bleak pike]

The only thing I liked about div 1 was the pvp

It was very heavy

But in 2 it was weird

[barren pewter]

I found the PVP pretty fun...although I sucked at it

I really loved the main missions

[orchid prism]

Division 1 had excellent lore and atmospheric design. The gameplay sucked ass.

this unarmoured guy takes 70 headshots to take down cause difficulty and he's a miniboss

[barren pewter]

Mansen

...

you just have a skill issue

imagine complaining about taking all your sniper ammo to take down a miniboss

smh

[orchid prism]

[barren pewter]

legitimate point though

but I found it wasn't so bad when I was playing a given mission with 3 other people

¯_(ツ)_/¯

alone?
fuck yeah it sucks

[orchid prism]

As for Division 2...too much of a post apocalyptic caricature and silly for my tastes. It feels like they went balls deep into fallout as much as they could.

[barren pewter]

yep

exactly my issue

the one thing that made it slightly better was that I got my hands on another mosin

BOOM
concrete chipping sounds
bolt cycle
x5

seriously, the M44 Carbine was genuinely my favourite weapon in both games

I mean...look at it

perfectly appropriate for combat in NYC and DC's dense and tight streets and buildings

[orchid prism]

Listen off...offfiche.. police person. I have a par...parmot for that riffel.
I use it to hunt pidjings

[trail dove]

The division's a great game

hopefully this division 2 overhaul update fixes the shortcomings

[ripe tendon]

Feels a little late for an overhaul

[raven prairie]

Every time I see a game and think: "Undemanding graphics, simple gameplay logic, input scheme is touchfriendly". I try it on my tablet just to realise, it's programmed like crap because the game/engine developer messed up totally on performance or compatibility.

Or both

[ripe tendon]

a poorly made game now days? Nonsense! /s

[raven prairie]

The Unity Engine even has a bug, that makes games per default incompatible with Pen, because Unity suppresses mouse emulation

[fringe salmon]

? the input system they switched to couple years ago has default support for pen and it works

[raven prairie]

At least with Unity 5 Pen compatibility is broken per default, unless the game developer adds explicit pen support

Actually there are two kinds of emulation. Pen input is either translated to touch or to mouse input. If you keep it on touch, it works. If you set it to mouse emulation it doesn't

[fringe salmon]

bro that's like 6 years old or so

[raven prairie]

Well... games still use this version of Unity

[fringe salmon]

if it never gets updated and is old I guess

[raven prairie]

Albion Online for example?

[fringe salmon]

kinda doubt they never updated unity and probably just never removed the legacy input system in that case tbh

[raven prairie]

I have at least several games which had the bug a half year ago

[fringe salmon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ all I know is that couple months ago with a 2020 version of unity it worked by default for me

[raven prairie]

Did you switch Emulation to mouse?

[fringe salmon]

dont think I changed any settings

cant check bc project isnt on my pc

but I remember at first I just set it up and tested if my devices worked and neither pen nor mouse had any issues

[raven prairie]

Which game?

[fringe salmon]

not a game, in house project I worked on

[raven prairie]

Ahem...

[fringe salmon]

I mean I wouldnt really be able to say if its a unity default or not, if I was just trying some game lol

[young hill]

For the 10 billionth time https://youtu.be/lqiZdynJmag

[ripe tendon]

I just want that mediocre game to die already

[young hill]

Most of the twitch watching is roleplay

[fringe salmon]

#archived_fortnite_double_movement

[ripe tendon]

that has it moments, tbh but they still seem few

[young hill]

At least it aint like anniversary edition Skyrim which basically just takes free mods to sell the game

[ripe tendon]

maybe they'll stop that when we get Starfield

With Skyrim anyway and then Starfield will become its new cash cow

[raven prairie]

Skyrim, great game. Had lot's of fun with it.

Gameplay was a bit weak though

[young hill]

By today's standards I agree

It was fine at the time

[raven prairie]

Basically I spent most of my time modding it

Didn't really play it past the first city after that ^^

[young hill]

Oh whiterun

So much happens there

[raven prairie]

Do you know the immersion scientist?

[young hill]

Not familiar with what you mean

Guessing some modder?

[raven prairie]

MxR, who showed new mods every week to make the game more immersive.

[young hill]

I did see other videos time to time on modifications to the game

Most of the videos though tend to go to realism

[barren pewter]

kinda bummed they didn't allow character transfers to or from PC, just to current gen consoles from last gen

:(

[young hill]

Cuz of modding risks

[fringe salmon]

pfffff

good one

[barren pewter]

then transfers from PC would make sense

transfers to?
no issues there

just have a "once on PC, always on PC" policy

oh

and cockstar doesn't give a shit about that

they care about shark card sales and shark card sales only

[fringe salmon]

I kinda expected it once it was announced, just because free transfer makes no sense for take twos $$$ list

[barren pewter]

free transfers between platform makes sense

free upgrades to current gen wouldn't

[young hill]

Actually speaking of free transfer on to PS5 for a short while

[barren pewter]

which is why the PS5 shit makes no sense to me

[fringe salmon]

oh I fully agree it would make sense and maybe even lead to more money bc people get interrested more

but thats now how T2 see it so it makes no sense from that view

[barren pewter]

yep

I just don't have a PS5

nor will I ever

same with Xbox Series X/S

[young hill]

Yeah, I just meant though thought ps5 version was also free

[barren pewter]

it's completely free for a few months

...

[young hill]

So essentially no money payed to poopstar

[barren pewter]

I'm confused

they could have shipped it at 60€
separate online for 25€
allowed character transfers between platforms for 6 months

made a shitload more

how much did sony pay them for this?

I'm gonna hope that when Series X/S gets their GTA E&E unlocked, cockstar thinks about those switching platforms who still want to play...and get them more sales

it's more money for them simply opening up channels they've had since 2015 at least iirc

[fringe salmon]

sadly it's been a thing not just for them but mutliple companies that still dont seem to understand better quality for customers means they are also willing to pay more

[barren pewter]

yep...you just gotta wonder what kind of lobotomized monkeys make the decisions there...since they always seem to make wrong ones

[young hill]

Probably some taketwo higher ups

[fringe salmon]

yes quite likely its T2 marketing/business people

more detached so they dont realize what would be better

[fading spade]

🤔 why is 16:9 ratio an option and why is it disabled by default???

[fringe salmon]

because the game is made by monkeys

[fading spade]

gosh damn

Monkeys are better coders than me

gg

tbf

everyone is

[fringe salmon]

no they are shit, the game has years of bugs, design problems, QA issues and devs refusing to listen

[fading spade]

and the game is locked to 60Fps on PC

[fringe salmon]

you can unlock it

but you wont get much more fps anyway

[fading spade]

how

[fringe salmon]

bc its shit optimized

[fading spade]

true

i wonder what is faster
my m.2 SSD or the ssd in the xbox series x

cause they made a big ass deal about that ssd

[unborn spruce]

Which game is this?

[fringe salmon]

dead by daylight

[unborn spruce]

Ah.

Yeah lmfao.

Iirc there was a big thing about them telling redditors to fuck off with useful advice.

[trim rock]

Pretty sure that's just an option to force 16:9 in case you don't have such a monitor and want letterboxing or pillarboxing

[fading spade]

hm

[young hill]

2.4GB/s raw and 4.8GB/s compressed for Xbox series x

[fading spade]

so series X can load games way way way way WAAYYYY faster than my computer can?

good to know

[young hill]

Well to be fair that depends

[young hill]

It is pcie 4 though

[fringe salmon]

are you still confused about random posts xD

yeah but now you also know about a 16:9 setting in game you will probably never play!

aren't you excited about the newly found knowledge

[young hill]

[young hill]

Knowledge is power

[bleak pike]

what game is that lol

[fringe salmon]

^

[fading spade]

this game is so boring

[fringe salmon]

play killer then

[feral ferry]

Let's go

https://youtu.be/A5-XwTd-fbE

Obv it's just promotional material

But Todd's wearing the Starfield smartwatch

[fringe salmon]

bro wtf is that

[feral ferry]

Looks sick to be fair

[fringe salmon]

I was thinking maybe they show something

[feral ferry]

Are you blind? They did

Todd's beautiful face

[fringe salmon]

ok, I was hoping they'd show something good

[feral ferry]

Wouldn't skip his face for a second even if offered a millie or a billie

Truly an alpha male with throbbing parts

[fringe salmon]

seriously though this is just them saying the game isnt dead?

even the date is nothing new

[feral ferry]

Basically

[ornate cedar]

Nothing of value

[feral ferry]

Also collector's edition watch

Mind you though

The video isn't released

It was datamined

[fringe salmon]

cant wait for the yellow post showing it's delayed

[feral ferry]

All we know that this video exists

[ornate cedar]

How naive

[feral ferry]

It could be meant for October or something, close to launch

Not a listed video just someone got the link to it

[fringe salmon]

wouldn't make sense since the date could be changed

so why already make a video

[feral ferry]

Ehhh BGS doesn't really delay projects

[fringe salmon]

oh great, so even worse than expected at launch

[feral ferry]

Also afaik Starfield's went gold a little while ago now

[ornate cedar]

They maybe should

[fringe salmon]

gold no longer means anything

gold doesnt include day 1 patch and all that

[feral ferry]

Meh PR team making something like this in advance isn't really that hard for them, the footage can just be altered and re-released

Though, why'd it be on YouTube already then

[ornate cedar]

Why dont they release it then if they announce it going gold?

Why sit on a sellable product for 8 months+

[unborn spruce]

Ngl BGS surprises me.

How they haven’t gone bankrupt I will never know.

Like normally if a dev studio fucks up a release or two they just go under quick.

BGS is what, 4 releases b2b that’ve either been shit or mediocre?

[fringe salmon]

or if it's like a no mans sky where they actually fix the fuckup

but they dont even do that with a new release lmfao

[unborn spruce]

Yep.

Release something garbage and just... don’t fix it.

And because some degenerates like that punishment they’ve somehow lived.

But that is absolutely a studio that should have gone under a decade ago.

[young hill]

How did I not know that some console multiplayer requires no subscriptions

[fading spade]

thats the case in some Switch games

[bleak pike]

Well thats just fucking stupid lol

[fading spade]

Ah, they havent removed Apex verified status yet

[bleak pike]

I heard abotu this

what exactly did they do

[fading spade]

Removed proton support to the anticheat

[fossil solar]

Div1 was weird in that it was balanced around end game gear and having proper armour sets. Once you do have a proper build the enemies aren’t really bullet sponges anymore. It’s just that the 100 hour you spend grinding loot, getting to “end game” was a slog.

[fading spade]

is it that heavily compressed???

Download size: 46GB
Reserved size: 81GB

[ornate cedar]

Optimised*

[fading spade]

TB, it runs on Switch

makes sense

[barren pewter]

tuberculosis

[fading spade]

TBF* xd

[barren pewter]

a viable alternative to playing apex

[fading spade]

LOL XD

[barren pewter]

thanks for cumming to my ted talk

deep bow and pukes all over stage, before falling face first into fresh puke

[fading spade]

Imma move the files over to Linux and see if it works there still

[ornate cedar]

I too love the Mycobacterium tuberculosis

[fading spade]

I paired my wireless earbuds to my Switch, cause they dont work right on my phone, but playing games is really trippy cause the audio is almost half a second out of sync with the game

;-;

[fading spade]

I paired them again to my phone.... And the excessive amounts of bass isn't happening anymore
So wtf??!!

Nvm... It still happens :/ but less

[unborn spruce]

@fading spade If there’s too much bass then install an EQ.

Get like a nice 16 band EQ and turn that shit down.

[fading spade]

The built in eq is disabled and the app for the earbuds cannot detect them

[unborn spruce]

Cringe.

[novel umbra]

wireless earbuds be like

[fallow bronze]

bluetooth isnt suitable for low latency audio. There are some codecs which kinda improves on it though

cyberpunks difficulty can be brutal if you do things which you arent ready for

[novel umbra]

just like basically any game

[fallow bronze]

yeah.. true 🙂

but getting one shotted

[feral ferry]

12 million people are maidenless

[fading spade]

Finally, a minecraft guide :D

[bleak pike]

@feral ferry sony thing is today right

[feral ferry]

Idk I think so

A ton of stuff is today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKbHWgiGIYU&ab_channel=PlayStation

Tomorrow

[bleak pike]

Hype

[feral ferry]

Really hoping this game's good

[fading spade]

he added Konsole to game mode xd

[ashen lark]

Would be Pog ngl

[fading spade]

https://youtu.be/UTVBqyvFCV8

He goes over the controls too and mapping the keyboard to them

I thought it would run better? AMD drivers got a massive performance boost in Mesa + OpenGL games

Maybe cause its locked to 60 so dipping below is more common?

[bleak pike]

Is this how you're dealing with not having a deck

[fading spade]

YES

ALL THE VIDEOS

I will know everything there is to know before I end up getting mine

and not by choice, cause my batch is so fucking late ..

[bleak pike]

Yorke prob batch 20 of Q3

[ashen lark]

Q3 2023

[fading spade]

whens shipping date?

[ashen lark]

20.8.2023

[fading spade]

???

[ashen lark]

That’s when your steam deck is gonna ship

[fading spade]

sauce

[bleak pike]

https://youtu.be/X8_JG48it7s

[bleak pike]

He's meming but q2 confirmed to start April

[fading spade]

duh

[ashen lark]

Yes, q3 doesn’t however

[ashen lark]

Hmm, garlic sauce, or mayonnaise. Depends on what is it. But for kebab generally I would go for garlic sauce.

[fading spade]

"After Q3" = ~ October ;-;

[ashen lark]

Oh after

That will be December

[fading spade]

Id assume "After Q3" = Q4?

[feral ferry]

Alright they lost me at 0:55

[bleak pike]

It will be 2023

calling it

[feral ferry]

"We don't make RPG's, we make simulations"

Of WHAT? Broken dragon physics?

[ashen lark]

Gonna be just 2023

20.8.2023

[fading spade]

its not going to be 2 years after launch

[feral ferry]

Like I love Skyrim and any of the older Bethesda games, FO76 wasn't terribly bad either once they polished it

But they are anything but simulations

If those games were simulations, humanity would have ceased to exist

[ashen lark]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-attack-on-titan-thunder-spear-titanfolk-gif-21192395

[ashen lark]

It is I am afraid

[ashen lark]

Hmm ngl hope TES 6 will be Pog

[feral ferry]

We'll all be like 70 years old when that game launches

[ornate cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/lukashenko-belarus-president-of-belarus-batska-putin-gif-11626519

[ashen lark]

True

[feral ferry]

https://youtu.be/X8_JG48it7s?t=195

That is cool

Play as the bad guys but be a good guy

Kinda FNV vibes but better

I am honestly hyped for this game, but if this is a miss

Bethesda's lost it

Any hint at damn microtransactions

[ornate cedar]

They never had it in the first place

[ashen lark]

Eh

Tes games were pretty good back then

[feral ferry]

They still are?

[ripe tendon]

it'll be good about a year later after the mods fix the main things

[ashen lark]

Indeed

[feral ferry]

Last TES game was Skyrim if you aren't counting Online

No TES game was a miss

They all got great reviews and still have a rather big audience

[ripe tendon]

solely because of mods

[barren pewter]

and some DLC to help flesh things out because the main campaign is pretty cut and dry

then again, the DLC will also be pretty cut and dry

[ashen lark]

Doesn’t make it worse

[barren pewter]

a la nuka world

[feral ferry]

That is true, but the fact that TES games are the most modded games that exist

Do speak for their reputation

[ripe tendon]

reputation of not having to make a whole game?

[feral ferry]

Reputation of a great and enjoyable game

[barren pewter]

of a game that could easily be fixed with user mods

...

shitty dev work

[ripe tendon]

Don't get me wrong I like their games but they could do much better

[ornate cedar]

The stalker games are very modded too
Does speak for their reputation

[ashen lark]

Minecraft is quite modded too and it’s great

[barren pewter]

stalker vanilla is chef's kiss

[feral ferry]

That's why with their new engine I'm actually hoping for greatness

Starfield's been conceptualized for over 10 years now

I expect good things

[barren pewter]

yoooo

just like Cyberpunk

[ripe tendon]

hoping is nice but expecting is eh

[barren pewter]

except that came out kinda meh

which is what I expect of Starfield

[feral ferry]

I was literally about to say space cyberpunk

[barren pewter]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[feral ferry]

Actually if you listen to their dev diary

[ornate cedar]

you can conceptualise the game for 9 years and actually make it in 1 year

[feral ferry]

They literally mention 3 of the groups you can take

And they all sound cyberpunk af

But obv you can join more than 3 groups

[barren pewter]

wow, that's great vexx
just swell

I'll wait till the game actually comes out to determine if it's shit or not

[ornate cedar]

Can you become the leader of like 10 groups no matter their ralation between eachother

[barren pewter]

bethsoft has a reputation for claiming a lot more than they actually can do

[trim rock]

But how do the ladders work?!!!

[barren pewter]

16 times the detail noises

[ornate cedar]

4 times the cope

https://tenor.com/view/when-the-coping-is-too-strong-cope-neil-degrasse-tyson-gif-15155527

[feral ferry]

They don't

Again

[fading spade]

ooo, The Phawx may have made it easier to transfer files to Steam Deck from Windows

[ornate cedar]

What?

[fading spade]

Deck formats SD cards to EXT4, Windows cannot read or write that format

[fading spade]

So windows users need to use whatever else like FTP

[feral ferry]

Literally

[fading spade]
