a reload!

summer cedar
#

Makes more sense, yes.

chrome gull
#

perfect pricing

summer cedar
#

Also $0.25 for the aiming reticle.

#

Otherwise, use the force for FREE.

chrome gull
#

ahhh I want to be generous

#

ADS is free!

summer cedar
#

Fine. Option to disable ADS is a DLC.

chrome gull
#

fair enough

#

that shall be DLC

#

I might have a career in monetization design, who would've thunk?

summer cedar
#

So... that advice will cost you $50. ๐Ÿ˜›

#

You CAN buy the $25 AdviZory DLC and forego such charges now and in the future. ๐Ÿ˜„

#

That ~~story ~~ incident was quite something, yeah.

empty dune
#

Let people hustle smh

summer cedar
#

Good. My hustling baseline rates have firmly taken root.

empty dune
#

im just coming to the realisation of how good bg3 ost is. The rest of the game is so fantastic I honestly didnt even notice the ost that much while playing

summer cedar
#

It's possible it didn't play on some occasions. There's a bug where the game doesn't run the background music sometimes.

#

I had the same problem and had to verify the game files.

empty dune
#

inb4 laura charges me 0.3$ for changing the topic

empty dune
summer cedar
#

The level design is pretty good. I love the multi-layered areas, all the climbing and jumping.

empty dune
#

probably another year

#

i hope they add ||alfira|| in the real release

#

as ||companion|| that is

#

oh btw, karlach and lae'zel got extended epilogues in the latest patch

#

im surprised we are getting entire voiced game content as a maintainance patch

#

could easily have been a dlc

#

too bad i didnt enjoy dos

slim atlas
#

hi

empty dune
#

story felt weird

empty dune
# slim atlas hi

At this point im beginning to think you use your hi messages to just denote the passage of time

unborn lotus
#

You guys sit through voiced dialogues? Text is peak rpg

empty dune
#

okay so im not crazy, good to know

empty dune
#

i think IGN gave it a bad score cause of "too much radio chatter"

#

except that chatter WAS the story

#

there were too many clouds

#

(according to ign)

#

ace combat 7 is an amazing game story telling wise. ive never before seen a game deliver story through instrumental music

#

the clouds was actually a feature, you used them to hide from radar and break missile lock

#

also the music got this cool muffled effect in the clouds

#

i forget where that too much water meme started? i think the outer wilds review?

#

ah no it was pokemon

slim atlas
#

we talking about BG3?

#

i have some ciritcs

#

I think the writing is at the same time the worst and best parts of the game

#

at some points i praise the genius of the writers

#

but the thing where bg3 really starts to fall heavily... is the squad members you can recruit

#

holy shit

#

traumadumping, child like behavior and pressure

#

its as if they stuffed content for 3 books into one

#

its really bad

empty dune
#

so.....your critique is that bg3 companions.........have too much story?

#

IGN wants to know your location

slim atlas
#

no i am not saying that

#

i am saying that it is cramped

#

and the way they communicate this with the player is really bad

#

it feels like they are desperate to tell the story

#

and force it on players

#

and thats very very annoying

#

so annoying that i straight up ignored gale at the start and then killed shadowheart.

#

and wyll can F himself

empty dune
slim atlas
#

absolutly not

#

the way they tell this story is not good

#

i ask myself if my playthrough will be better if i dont make a character, and just play alone.

empty dune
#

thats your opinion. i dont see how its true but thats my opinion lol

slim atlas
#

Laz is such a great character but her writing at the start will make alot of players hate her really hard

#

the game tricks you into thinking its urgent

#

when it really isnt

#

This is bad writing.

empty dune
#

and how do you know it isnt urgent..........if you dont follow the story? its a plot twist, how are plot twists bad writing

slim atlas
#

i am on my second playthrough

#

XD

#

i know

empty dune
#

also about lae'zel, i think that was the intention, for people to grow to like her. it character development for her

slim atlas
#

And no matter how you play, you end up with extra characters in the third act

#

i really dislike it

#

i wished it was more laid back

#

and wouldnt use cheap tricks to get me engaged

#

because it only works 1 time.

#

on my second playthrough i just ignored alot of the things

empty dune
#

you know you can kill every single companion and get mercenaries, right?

slim atlas
#

i dont exactly want to kill all of them

#

i think astarion, karlach and laz are really good characters

empty dune
#

but you dont want to listen to their problems, just use them as vehicle for your carnage?

slim atlas
#

but while you playthrough the game you get new squad members

empty dune
#

im beginning to think your problem with bg3 is that its characters actually have a personality and not just meant to kowtow to the protag

slim atlas
#

i am a masseffect player XD

#

bg3 should be a walk in the park for me

#

but the writing is just so god damn annoying

empty dune
#

you havent given me a single example of this yet lol

slim atlas
#

i dont want to spoil

#

but i have said: trauma dumping.

#

its just one example of many

empty dune
#

||this exists|| and i dont give two shits about spoilers to begin with, plus ive already played the game

slim atlas
#

you might not give a shit

#

but people reading are

empty dune
#

uh

#

||this.....exists||

slim atlas
#

i am out.

empty dune
#

click that

#

okay then

unreal ether
#

yeah if you click a spolier tag and get something spoiled, that's kinda on you :P

empty dune
timber viper
#

but its released properly burn

#

i couldnt finish it because I was overwhelmed by the amount of content

empty dune
empty dune
#

its not a problem for me anymore anyway, my interest in MCU ended with End game

#

and honestly nothing theyve released after that has made me reconsider that decision. I was rather thankful instead

timber viper
#

i stopped watching marvel after 2016 or so altogether

#

just went to ant man 2 last year to make my dad happy but wasnt focusing on movie at all

empty dune
#

id say thats the only one youre missing out on

timber viper
#

i think i went to that thor movie where he meets ||zeus and other gods||

#

that was fun to some extent

#

but I realized nothing serious left about marvel

#

they turned whole series into a comedy with filler scenes

empty dune
#

yeah

#

i loved the civil war and winter soldier vibe

#

they completely killed that

#

infinity war was the last serious movie imo. Endgame had some bad comedy too iirc but it was still okay

timber viper
#

DC is still great

#

well ok I dont go to cinema since 3 years

#

so maybe its bad

#

but it was good while marvel was bad for a long time while I was caring for it

proud jay
#

Secret ending in cp77 was pretty cool

#

The achievement from my first ending still just disappeared

#

Thanks playstation

carmine frigate
#

most the marvel stuff was a bit the same after a while

#

i still liked dr strange

proud jay
#

Guardians of the galaxy was pretty good

carmine frigate
#

the spiderverse movie was awwsome, havent seen the latest spiderverse yet tho

#

yea guardians was kinda funny

proud jay
#

Spiderverse is bae

#

Thereโ€™s a third one coming

proud jay
#

Second one has an open ending unfortunately

carmine frigate
#

yea ill prolly watch it sometime soon

#

loved the art is the 1st movie

empty dune
#

as long as that AI is not an LLM

empty dune
#

i just had the wildest thought: club penguin battle royale ๐Ÿ˜‚

empty dune
#

they dont apparently, we are not the target audience for epic

#

pretty much apparently

proud jay
#

Well just finished the Rogue ending of cp77

#

Thatโ€™s all of them

#

Gg

#

Time for alan wake I guess

#

I think the rogue ending is my favourite

#

Although the hanako ending fit better to be dystopian

timber viper
#

before alan wake

#

its another 14hrs of gameplay

proud jay
#

I did hanako ending, then panam, then dlc + dlc ending, then secret ending and then rogue ending

timber viper
#

what a cyberpunk nerd

soft night
#

dlc have variations of ending based on siding

proud jay
#

No u

proud jay
timber viper
#

i will buy steam deck two weeks later

proud jay
#

But is also adds one ending for main game

timber viper
#

i plan to play diablo 4 and elden ring on it

proud jay
#

Elden ring is pretty good

#

Played it all the way up to the last boss and then quit lol

soft night
#

dieter yeah for phantom liberty as siding either so mi or reed trigger different things

timber viper
#

i'll be usually playing games to distract myself from work or when I need to rest because of burnouts

#

so I'm looking for fast paced games or the ones with character progression

#

sadly one of them is actiblizzard game

cursive crypt
#

It's okay, many ppl think diablo 3/4 sux anyway

timber viper
#

its ok, not like I expect anything good from that company

#

but they just create the games I need rather than I want sad

cursive crypt
#

Well, at least they work for Microsoft now. Big corpo knows how to pamper clients.

#

If you want some fast paced slash top down I heard there were good enough alternatives to diablo.

#

Path of Exile (free) and recently, one uugh... myth based one ๐Ÿค”

#

Ah, yes, Hades.
And Grim Dawn

soft night
cursive crypt
#

tbh, I would have tried Diablo 4 myself (3 is too out of style), but the online only and amount of monetization are annoying.

timber viper
#

oh right it was online only right

cursive crypt
#

If you haven't heard, check out the other 3 games I suggested. Cheaper and prolly better in terms of Diablo 2 style.

unborn lotus
#

I tried D4 in the free weekend, it was pretty okay

empty dune
#

Im waiting for the mobile port lol

#

Also, damn, steam deck oled 1TB is just 100$ above mrp right now for me, that's a damn good deal

#

Too bad I don't have the money to spare lol

queen isle
#

does PoE have gacha?

chrome gull
#

just in case one of us end up scoring big

#

that small chance is worth all the investment

#

5% every month on a best-selling indie game is... a lot of money

proud jay
#

Ok alan wake opening sets really nice mood

proud jay
soft night

Donโ€™t spoil if I donโ€™t need to know though

Hmm

Maybe I will tomorrow

woven wing
#

@empty dune where's a demo

broken sigil

it will make sense eventually

#

well "make sense"

proud jay

Seems like a whole lot to take in from the start lol

#

But Iโ€™m intrigued

oh yeah and that

but pretty much ||the same spot still|| ๐Ÿ˜†

#

except that Alan ||has a much better understanding of how the dark place works||

#

||but it continues almost exactly where AW1 left off||

zinc wagon
broken sigil
#

yep ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

I was still intrigued by the story the 2nd time I played it
Plus NG+ has new bits of story content

zinc wagon
proud jay
#

Just finished chapter 1

#

Wtf

#

Now Iโ€™m curious

broken sigil
#

ladies and gentlemen, he is hooked ๐Ÿ˜†
Mission success

zinc wagon
#

They're great folk you should 100% like trust them ahem

proud jay
#

Wait the fedetal burrau of control in AW is that the same as from the Control game?

soft night
#

yeah

zinc wagon
#

Yep

#

You do also encounter Alan in control btw

#

I think it was a dlc tho

woven wing
#

@sand oxide where game

zinc wagon
#

What game?

proud jay
#

I only shortly played control though

woven wing
#

Laura, let's fight duel in a gamejam

proud jay

What is AW2

broken sigil
proud jay
#

Alan Wake 2

slim atlas
#

ouf no.

#

Ok enough for now, gonna do some reading before bed to get rid of naked man monster nightmares

celest musk

#

Was AW2 UE5 or NV path tracing

celest musk
#

and our sammich's

proud jay
#

What is nv?

woven wing
#

I forget games and the funny tech I wanted to look at

#

Nvidia

proud jay
#

It had the epic logo on start up at least

#

So I guess ue

soft night
#

remedy games are using northlight engine

woven wing
#

AW2 is an Epic Games 'excluaisive' so the logo doesn't help

proud jay
#

But Iโ€™m on ps5 ๐Ÿค”

#

Maybe just sponsored

#

It did have the northlight logo too

#

Didnโ€™t know that was an engine

soft night
#

epic is the publisher for this

proud jay
#

I see

My mind still thinking about cyberpunk though

4th brawl game in a row against this stupid dinosaur ๐Ÿ˜ด

carmine frigate
#

no

#

we cant afford that

#

also most of us dont enjoy scratching our eyes out

empty dune
#

Funny thing is I woke up like 10 min ago (4 am) cause i figured out a problem while sleeping and was like "must implement" and then i saw your message lmao

carmine frigate
#

ahh event horizon ๐Ÿ˜›

empty dune
#

Best worst movie of all time

carmine frigate
#

well its really high in the space horror genre

river sable
#

still haven't seen that one

carmine frigate
#

the thing remake was pretty good aswell

empty dune
#

Event horizon was bootleg dead space change my mind

#

(i know it came out before dead space lol)

carmine frigate
#

deadspace 2 was dope... 3 wasnt as much horror

empty dune
#

3 was a different kind of horror, the first wave of ingame microtransactions inside a paid game

carmine frigate
#

lol

empty dune
#

There was a cool dead space mobile game as well

#

It had its own little story, pretty good

carmine frigate
#

i played the ps3 motion controller game

empty dune
#

There's a lot of cool no microtransactions games on android you can't play anymore

carmine frigate
#

but u had to shake controller for reaload and it sucked cuz i bought a shotgun and you couldnt change controls, ... pc masterrace

empty dune
#

Dead space mobile, Cod mobile (old one, not the new garbage, it had a campaign), Mass effect mobile

carmine frigate
#

house of the dead overkill was awssome with the shotgun controller tho

#

totally worth the 60$ to buy 2 shotguns and hotd overkill

empty dune
#

And then delisted them

carmine frigate
#

hey, it was basically a free arcade

#

hotd 2 arcade thing takes up a lot of space and costs 5k$

#

ps3, 2 montion controllers, 2 shotguns and an oled tv are cheaper ๐Ÿ˜›

empty dune
#

Speaking of oled, damn the steam deck oled is cheaper than the og steam deck

#

Valve looked at capitalism and went

carmine frigate
#

havent seen either, did read there is an msi handheld now tho

#

i like handhelds from a tech perspective, never really play em

#

some pop the bubbles music games on my tablet from time to time but thats it

empty dune
#

Id make a rhythm game just to Rick roll people

carmine frigate
#

both dont sell headsets, 1 sells games and the other sells data

broken sigil
soft night
#

raindust you should see something msi coming

brittle holly
empty dune
# brittle holly Or market research suggested no one would pay more for it ๐Ÿ˜…

Are..... Are you insane??? The steam deck sold so well it single handedly created the pc handheld hardware category. It sold so well production couldn't keep up with sales even long after the post pandemic supply chain issues had resolved. Also, by cheaper, i mean they are selling straight up upgrades at the old price points, which already sold like crazy

brittle holly
empty dune
#

The og steam deck came in 400$, 550$ and 650$ price points, with 64 gb, 256gb, 512 gb memory. The steam deck oled comes with 256 gb, 512 gb and 1TB along with the oled AND the other features valve didn't even advertise (they didn't advertise the increased storage either, just the battery life and the oled) at the exact same prices

empty dune
brittle holly
empty dune
#

Yeah, its absolutely nuts

#

They could easily have put a 100-150$ price increase across the board

#

And nobody would bat an eye

brittle holly
#

Yeah, Valveโ€™s always been a bit of a unicorn. Iโ€™ve read how religious they were about play testing

empty dune
#

Just to compare, the potato that runs Zelda and pokemon, the abomination that goes by the name of "switch", costs 350$

#

For 50$ more, you get..... A literal pc with amd zen 2 +rdna

empty dune
brittle holly
#

If only they applied that same dedication to CS2.0 lol

empty dune
#

Cs2.0 is good now apparently? Idk im not a cs guy

#

But i heard they fixed the on launch issues

#

What I really want valve to do is learn to count to 3

river sable
#

I just want portal 3

#

it's been, what? 11 years now?

empty dune
#

More

river sable
#

oh yeah 2011

#

damn

#

time to watch this and be sad again

#

oh neat might give it a go

empty dune
#

Its funny how valve can make games with complex math but can't count past 2

river sable
#

floooooooooooooor

empty dune
river sable
#

mod looks pretty decent indeed

empty dune
#

Valve let them make a portal fan game and sell it?

#

Wha

river sable
#

it's free ๐Ÿ˜„

empty dune
#

Oh okay

#

That makes more sense

river sable
#

portal64 tho...

#

I really hope he gets to sell it

empty dune
river sable
#

he likes to play dota against bots apparently

#

which I find disgusting

brittle holly

#

i heard the smoke tech itself was quite ground breaking

river sable
#

you know ponkkis I always liked you. but that has just ended. source and 1.6 basically the same games? how dare you

river sable
empty dune
#

i read an article about how each particle of smoke can now affect light tracing and stuff but im not a cs guy so i didnt really pay attention

river sable
#

idk source felt floaty / movement was too fast I never liked it

brittle holly
#

2023 and you canโ€™t ADS

river sable
#

that being said I'm really not the biggest cs player, never played much GO

brittle holly
#

I played on and off since 1.3 I think

river sable
#

dust2 and pool on LAN though

brittle holly
#

1.5, 1.6 the most

#

Moderator or admin access was nice

river sable
#

you mean... cheating?

brittle holly
#

No I mean being mod on a server

river sable
#

right yeah same thing

brittle holly
#

Not listening to endless streams of racial slurs and watching rampant cheating

river sable
#

warcraft 3 mod was amazing in 1.6

brittle holly
river sable
#

I see, yeah makes sense

#

did you ever play wc3 mod?

#

I mostly remember playing night elf and hiding in a dark corner with a knife

#

very engaging gameplay

No.

But if you like survivals or experiments - go, many ppl recommend it here.

empty dune
#

i dont like horror ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

cursive crypt
#

Me too, that what I meant somewhat.

#

Check some gameplay footage?

#

But I'm sure I won't like it.

empty dune
#

buuuut, its tempting XD

#

not gonna do it though

cursive crypt
#

On other hand, why not play what you got already, then think for something else?

empty dune
#

OH GOD WHAT

Also there also other good recent games which might be more pleasant.

Ah yes. Loading shaders. The great 'blessing' of modern games.

That being said, Nvidia allowing gamers to flexibly store shaders locally, was a great decision.

I recently purchased Caramel Coffee (made in India) from a small brewery.
The smell alone is divine. If I brew a small cup and put it on my table, the caramel's aroma spreads everywhere.

I drink a lot of coffie

Of course, it's VERY expensive.

tulip orbit

plus I prefer normal black coffee to anything else, so

errant raven
#

If I dont get caffeine I get these splitting agonizing headaches

tulip orbit
#

I just get tired and irritable, er, more irritable than usual

errant raven
#

When I get those I have to drink black coffee for it to go away fast

#

Doesnt matter bout my sleep, I could be unable to keep my eyes open then awake and wanting to do stuff the next. And vice versa of course

#

I think I need stronger coffee

#

Or upgrade to cocaine

tulip orbit
#

kinda sounds like you need to detox off the coffee a bit, cut back

errant raven
#

Wdym

tulip orbit
#

the headaches are a sign of a dependancy/addiction, which isnt good. and if you're drinking lots then your body is too used to a normal amount

#

my headaches only come when I'm dehydrated and need to drink more water

errant raven
#

Neat I have an addiction

tulip orbit
#

and I drink more coffee than I should.

errant raven

I'm now a minority who gets special treatment

In all seriousness, I drink like 6 large-ish cups of coffie every other day
