Hey @fading spade - Can we get some uhh.... Dancefrogs in chat?
fading spade
The fact they ported it to Unity and it still looks and feels like Source Engine is amazing
fringe salmon
it's really easy to have the looks be the same in unity or even unreal
source is quite old and doesnt do anything special for rending compared to modern standards
fringe salmon
there is also a TF2 unity version being made, also looks pretty much the same
sure it's not free work by pressing a single button but not hard in comparison to recreating any more complex rendering
oh but it is a very good example that Bethesda could use a good engine and stop using their broken ones and still have everything be the same if they want 
fading spade
They had to relight the entire game
They had to tone back the lights and relfections and bounces
They had to make shaders to get the right tone of the lights that Source has
oh gosh
feral ferry
You better take that back
fringe salmon
those render shaders are public in the source engine, those are just math solutions to port over for the most part
it's a lot of work but for the most part not complex I guess is what I'm trying to describe
now for bethesda it might be more work because they would need to implement the broken parts too 😛

As soon as my buddy wakes up. I'm grabbing the steam deck. I was gonna do it earlier this weekend but I had to go off and potentially get COVID. But seeing how I'm not sick now. I'm getting the damn thing.

cant add people to plot ;-; idk why not, i asked the mods and they said they dont know either ;-;
bleak pike
oh i see its a creative patch server
feral ferry
This could be actually true
I honestly hope that Bethesda doesn't return to FO4 roots and doesn't launch a game that has a shit ton of content, but unsatisfactory game mechanics
Do a Cyberpunk and delay the game as much as possible
nimble current
do a cyberpunk and delay a game several times and still somehow release it half-baked
feral ferry
Eh while I don't doubt there are problems with the game, I doubt the validity of a random unknown leaker
So far the only indication game is in flawed development is a verified ex-dev comments

Everyone needs a good wank
feral ferry
Not at all
Honestly I'm pretty sure it'll be borked in some way
Probably same fate Mass Effect Andromeda had at launch
Borked as shit
Might get fixed with community patches
I might have generous amounts of hype for Bethesda shit
But it's undeniable that their shit is borked
And usually they don't even bother to fix it
Yeah FO76 was a show of true colours
FO4 VR was the continuation
Skyrim VR was similar showing but a bit better
Anniversary edition though
That one wasn't bad
Then again if they managed to screw up relaunching their game with bunch of addons preloaded
I'd be concerned for their studio 
bleak pike
FO4 VR was the continuation
Was still cool though
bleak pike
fringe salmon
you could google it 😉

But it's the future! Especially the metaverse the cryptobros keep talking about!
fringe salmon
overarching term for a virtual universe that interacts with the real world
so it wont go away since vrchat already fulfils that for example
people might just use different terms
by giving you an option to interact with other people and thus acting as a proxy
in theory it's all games yes, it's sorta like a square is a rectangle but you want to be more specific
orchid prism
VRChat rave / dance clubs are super popular. You could argue those are virtual, real life get togethers.
fringe salmon
second life was described as the first metaverse until people forgot about it
but the term is older
if you dont want to spend more or as much as the quest costs, that will be a while, the next gen options wont be low end since they all introduce new tech, so it will be a bit before they get cheaper
uhh depends
also while the quest for example is standalone you can still tether to a pc and make use of better hardware
if you want to play beatsaber and stuff like that, quest and the outdoor mod for big lanes is very funny, if you want half life alyx probably something you enjoy more with better optics
also depends on how much (or little) you are susceptible to motion sickness from lower refresh rates/picture clarity
next version from valve is expected to be standalone but also to have wireless to synch with your pc so you get more power without a cable
well, could be
first gen price tag and all that
but then again the steam deck was really cheap so they might subsidies it
feral ferry
I thought No Step Back was the last DLC 
Good to hear HoI4 is getting even more changes
Peace Deals are flawed af

You just had to defeat the country

Where is diplomacy?
You still are not able to do a ceasefire declaration at all unless one side is horribly losing, but at that point wtf is the point of ceasefire
Mods at least give pretty good diplomacy
tough jay
Negociated settlements would be nice but possibly problematic / abusable.
Reminds me I should really do a monarchist russia run someday as monarchists are best in hoi4
feral ferry
Idk the most fun I had in HoI4 is probably China playthrough
Fuck the javs and then have a world domination
Can also fuck with Russia quite a bit
tough jay
The most fun I had in china was manchukuo into qing
feral ferry
China has so much space and resources that the sky is the ceiling
The industry is hella good that they can produce
tough jay
Anarchists from spain are also pretty funny.
feral ferry
Also quite hard to succeed with
But fabricating cores on anything is fun
But yeah I have mods for that so any country can
tough jay
Mexico is also pretty good
feral ferry
That reminds me actually
I never did a U.S playthrough
I did an "Argentine conquers everything" though
tough jay
Never did a wc either, just seems boring
feral ferry
It's the little quirky nations that are fun
The Baltics are nowadays incredibly OP
They get some ridiculous bonuses
tough jay
Oh yea, only did monarchist lituania
feral ferry
The easiest way to annihilate Poland is incredibly broke
tough jay
nom nom give me the blatics and poland as cores
feral ferry
Litwa has like a weird ass focus
That allows you to extremely fastly deteriorate Poland's stability
And force a civil war
You wait for Poles to retreat from your borders to fight their own
Wait for the conflict to resolve itself
Instantly call war and win Poland over
At that point you should have whole of Baltics and Poland in your structure
Germany shouldn't be able to take you on

Most likely they are both SATA and PCI-E 😄

the question is whats the source and target of that copy

fringe salmon
does a nvme even work in a sata-only slot?
small comet
nope
fringe salmon
ok so no risk of the slot "downgrading" the speeds
small comet
unless theres some bios config to go lower pcie spec on the m.2 slot
not really a thing ya
fading spade
the question is whats the source and target of that copy
from Intel to the sandisk

yes

so no wonders its slow af

BeamNG requires me to be able to convert imperical to metric on the fly
cause the UI can be changed but the road signs and shit cant be
and IDK how to convert!
fringe salmon
I mean, if you drive in another country the signs dont change to your countries signs although that would be a neat usage of AR tech
fading spade
the tutorial requires you to look at road markings for the speed
and those dotn change to metric

not too bad considering it has the performance of a pencil sharpener
fading spade
but how does the text get lower resolution too??
nimble current
laziness I guess, just quickly resize the existing text with the rest
fringe salmon
or the way text is rendered just is tied to resolution and not a layer after the game

It's depressing that Nintendo seem to be the only AAA game company that sell fully finished games at launch these days
Pretty much every AAA game these days is launched in a buggy half asses state that is barely playable and gets many many patches over the next few months to make it actually work
nimble current
not that hard when you make new versions of the same games year after year
fading spade
The same can be said for battlefield
And just look how that new one ended up
nimble current
leave it to EA to completely destroy their IPs over holiday sales greed

Oh and yeah Mansen you grumpy duck
Seems a lot of the new DLC is based in Pacifica

feral ferry
Also, weirdly
They added a brand new ending
Others were reworked, more post-game stuff added
And a new one exists
And this one's weird cause ||this is the ending that is, in theory, good cause V actually survives||
||Ending's called Songbird, it's some sort of miracle tech that you obtain during some mission. As you are about to die from the engram overwriting your existence, songbird kicks in and completely repairs your body. Then with help from Hellman V's chip is removed, and he lives on, with a few caveats||
Why do I feel this game did not need this ending

Why do I feel this game did not need this ending <:lul:576475280303063096>
because it completely ruins the original thing

where as before there was a bit of choice, V short term, or Johnny for the rest of V's natural life?

no i'd. really would one one thing instead of two
like, the frame just wouldn't work
unless this is actually one screen and not two?
okay now am interested

V Rising.
Vampires in a fantasy medieval setting. It's basically Rust grinding mechanics and base buildings with a Diablo gameplay

It's being pushed hard on the influencers.
It's really good - even on a 1 person server by myself 😄

People are concerned that the dev makes their games abandonware even though they make good games
Does that thing have mod support?
orchid prism
Not officially I think at least yet - But you can host your own servers minecraft style. So... if you can code it, you can probably inject it 😄

I dig their DLC policy so far - They've got two cosmetic packs. Basically decoration for your castles and reskinned shapeshift forms. That's it.
No gameplay locked off.

Only Steamworks.
feral ferry
Hm, alright
orchid prism
They added full singleplayer couple of days ago - which sparked cracked leaks xD
feral ferry
Steam needs to work on their crack protection

But yeah - Tile based building. Quite enjoyable - And I'm sure the bases are fugly, box stacks on the tryhard sweaty PVP servers 😄

Don't forget even if it's some is not going to the devs or Humble, the rest is going to donations. The devs either already got paid per-key or some other NDA contract, or possibly able to do tax offs, cause it's charity.

There is a rising group of people who are getting mad and calling SteamOS a privacy invading piece of shit Os because it requires you to login with your steam account

Break fast travel boards
If you break all of them around the map
fading spade
ive been doing that whenever I see them
barren pewter
Fast travel is freeeeeee
Better than fallout 76
Considering the map is huge and vast, genuinely not worth it to fast travel because of how beautiful it is

There is a game I learned about, that you need to use ingame currency to save the game
and only at places you see the statue thingy

Oh yeah, Forza 4 has the 30 second long intro sequence before the main menu that you cannot skip

fringe salmon
I mean, depends on the class I would say
I mean as long as youre not blm ord nin a rotation isn't the thing that allows you to solo them or not lmao
sure its easier if you do more dmg and have to doge less
but machinists for example is quite simple even if you dont do the rotation
and its not a caster so easier to posittion etc.
havent gotten around to play any melee dps yet

MS outed themselves on basically no difference between 11 and 10
fringe salmon
oh yeah since then there have been a lot of changes that make it a lot better in terms of positionals
fringe salmon
yes and internally it was tested as a win10 update
fading spade
oh lol
fringe salmon
I like it because its a lot easier to say you need win11 for some feature like WSA, directstorage, threadirector etc. rather than saying you need windows 10.0.132bgammaY for feature X
already saw the issue when people complained RTX didnt work because they did not have the windows update needed for it
well and now off to make another 10 mil so I can afford the 47million house lottery

Considering buying a V Rising server next week if anyone wants to play - Just a cheap 10player server to get the server timers to run all day. 10 bucks is cheaper than having my PC run all day long doing the same 😄
No idea on load - I run it singleplayer now.
It's a rust style game so... shrug
I know - Like I said. No fucking clue 😛
Game has dedicated server tools. So...
Steam based ones

Denuvo destroyers strike again
This time a shitty Ubisoft title gets cracked
... like a year after release
Man piracy scene is nothing like it used to be
feral ferry
There's like only a single person doing Denuvo cracks nowadays
We used to have more but yeah
tough jay
Look, if it takes this long to crack, the anti piracy did its work.
So as much as I had the stuff, I can still see that it's effective.
young hill
We used to have more but yeah
Did Denuvo crack them?
tough jay
I think it's just because cracking a game is more work / there is less of incentive going, that being said it would not surprise me if game cracking is going to rise again.
With storefronts being closed in russia I can see more russian crackers appearing
young hill
Hollow 
barren pewter
ye, that honestly makes a fuckload of sense, qlum
can't wait
or maybe for game devs to just remove anti-consumer BS from their products altogether since it at best adds nothing and at worst hurts performance a boatload
young hill
Could kernel anti piracy solve the performance loss?
orchid prism
Look, if it takes this long to crack, the anti piracy did its work.
So as much ...
(Or that the game's shit enough that no one cared xD)
tough jay
That maybe the case but overall from what I see games are not being cracked as fast as they used to.
I still remember it mostly being a matter of how long before release a game has been cracked rather than after.
Granted encryption / digital distribution fixed that one (except for nintendo)
fringe salmon
we also have a shit ton more games now that are either f2p or older already cracked ones etc. so there is a bit less demand, especially if people cant even run the latest game
tough jay
Still I do think denuvo at least somewhat working / making cracking tedious certainly helps, as much as I wish it didn't.
fringe salmon
I mean I wish they would just fix the performance issues in some games then drm is fine for me
we have so many games now, if you dont want to pay for one theres enough others you can choose from
tough jay
In principle I don't like the level of access the drm needs. DRM should just be able to run on user level just like the game itself.
fringe salmon
thats a fair point, just like anti cheat that sadly is just a result of the cat and mouse game the devs have to play
tough jay
Securing something with a lower level of privilege is just almost impossible, just like how detecting root without root on android does not really work.
feral ferry
From what I had heard from the piracy community
The tools and information is readily available on how to start cracking
Just that not many do
Lack of motivation, fear of prosecution, lack of care
Scene's been a bit dead
fringe salmon
lack of skill
feral ferry
Which is why the current only cracker cracks for money
Crackers back then didn't get paid shit
tough jay
Neither did they get a lot of money for their skills doing other things
feral ferry
Well if rumours are correct
You crack Denuvo's games to make them hire you so you can't crack Denuvo
That what happened to the original Conspiracy iirc
Main cracker got hired by Irdeto
CPY died off soon after

thats not a rumour thats how this and any similar industry has worked since the inception
