#

I watched a youtube video on a lies of p review before playing it, big mistake

errant raven
#

Guy didnt like some of the games me mechanics because it made his gf "upset" if she lost or couldn't do something. And said they were bad mechanics

brittle holly
errant raven
#

They changed it alot

#

Looks boring as fuck and nothing like black flags combat. Like they originally said theyd do

soft night
#

i got some co-op today

#

group event try to take done some elite boss pirate captain

#

the skull and bones not have hand combat what black flag have, it have that ship combat and its similar for black flag

#

there is co-op thing on blag flag so people seems misunderstand things these days

fathom wadi
#

I saw a review of Skull n Bones and it looked like one of the worst games ever. I laughed out loud at the way you get resources by sailing next to an island and never getting off your ship. I mean, they put decent effort into the graphics, and no effort into gameplay. Which is what Ubisoft do best. 10/10

soft night
#

you get more resources plundering it

fathom wadi
#

you know what I think happened. After they scrapped the last iteration, they were told to just put out anything so they could get the initial sales then write the game off.

errant raven
#

Ubisoft forgot how to make games

soft night
#

the game is addicting

#

the game was also multi-studio co-operation

brittle holly
#

You can’t board ships for real either, it’s a cutscene lol

slim atlas
#

this is the only AAAA i know

fathom wadi
#

well that doesn't mean it's good though. The psychological element of crafting to get better things is addictive when done right, but it doesn't mean the gameplay is worth the grind. Like, you have to look at what the game is supposed to be. A pirate ship game where you battle other ships and have the pirate experience. They got perhaps 10% of that with the sailing and shooting cannons part, but the rest is filler. It's not good design, it's a rush job to get a product out by using standard practice grind A to get B.

brittle holly
soft night
#

marc say 999% of the games thesedays

fathom wadi
# deep glen and call it an AAAA game

technically if AAA is a budget investment, then it is a AAAA game as they wanted millions on previous scrapped iterations, so people are paying for the mistakes with the £70 price tag. I find it horrid, especially for what is there.

errant raven
#

AAAA

brittle holly
#

Most AAAs are like this today sadly. Unfinished expensive crap

fathom wadi
# soft night marc say 999% of the games thesedays

yeah I agree. Thats why I don't play many games right now. Path of Exile, a bit of Overwatch, some League of Legends perhaps. But mostly the current generation of games leaves me wondering if they actually know what they are doing, or are they just accountants.

errant raven
#

Lies of p is a AAAAA game then by ubisoft's standards

brittle holly
fathom wadi
#

I must say when there is an exception, it's usually exceptional. Like Elden Ring for example. I have to say that is a perfect game for it's genre. Not to everyone's taste, but it got everything right.

soft night
#

skull and bones is good casual play

brittle holly
#

You might as well play sea of thieves at this point

#

You’ll prly get better gameplay

fathom wadi
#

yeah Sea of Thieves impressed me

fathom wadi
#

yeah well its not a perfect RTS is it

errant raven
#

Fromsoft is the only studio making games in elden rings genre

soft night
#

shie of thieves was camp fest and solo-player hell

fathom wadi
#

no thats not true. Team Ninja do also

errant raven
#

Those shitty little souls like games with shit animations, hitboxes and bad environment/level design dont even count

#

Lords of fallen is a bad souls like too

fathom wadi
#

Cant really say that about team ninja tho. Nioh 1 & 2 were good and amazing. WoLong was very good for the casual and felt really good as a wushu style souls-like. The new Shogun game they are bringing out should be decent too

brittle holly
#

Sekiro had decent gameplay

errant raven
#

Any soulsborne game has decent gameplay

#

Except dark souls 2

#

They drunk too much alcohol cooking that up

fathom wadi
#

Sekiro was beautiful to look at (although sepia got annoying after a while). However it suffered one fatal flaw for me. It made you grind mobs to get back to a failed boss fight. And if you got hit, it made you want to reset. That was frustrating and felt like it was wasting the time of the player for content.

errant raven
#

Fucking parry

#

That's the whole point in sekiro

#

Parry, break their guard, attack

#

Run past them.. like every soulsborne player does?

fathom wadi
#

well again that would prove my point that it was not a good thing to do when they could have done what Elden Ring did. Have a waypoint outside the boss room. Saves time and frustration.

errant raven
#

It's to humble you

#

So you learn from your mistakes so you dont have to make the run again.

#

Be glad elden ring didnt have boss runbacks

#

And the runbacks in sekiro are nothing like the ones in demon souls

fathom wadi
#

well I consider it pointless. I got to the boss to attempt to kill him. So I die 20 times to a boss, but I also have to kill 10x20 mobs on the way back.... or run and avoid them. Seems like in a game where punishing the player with overpowered mechanics, you might want to at least show some empathy and give them the opportunity to just do the boss.

errant raven
#

Your will is weak

fathom wadi
#

maybe people like that tho. it's just my opinion

errant raven
#

Youd never be a green lantern

fathom wadi
#

I wonder when there will be a souls-like that combines roguelike so the game is shifty hard, but you only get one shot like Hades, but you lose all your stuff.

errant raven
#

So hades

blazing wolf
errant raven
#

Thats not beef

#

Its pork

#

Specifically the pigs liver, snout, jowls, rind etc

blazing wolf
#

Pork is just natrually processed table scraps

errant raven
#

And corn meal

#

Better than haggis

blazing wolf
#

Nothing is better than haggis!

errant raven

False

#

Haggis is good but livermush is better

EGS' systray notification is misleading. It says get this week's free game and keep it forever

Remember to add this to your game's startup code

@broken sigil can you move to japan and get a job at Fromsoftware

#

And make bloodborne 2

#

👉👈

broken sigil
errant raven
#

Think about the bigger picture

cursive crypt
#

Big house.

errant raven
#

Bloodborne sequel is the most wanted game in known gaming history. Sony is sitting on gold mine

#

You just gotta convince them

cursive crypt
#

Hey, I thought it is fifa 2025

errant raven
#

That game has been the same since its first release on n64

cursive crypt
#

Sales beg to differ (golden shower noises)

errant raven
#

Lies of p is not hard

#

I feel let down

cursive crypt
#

Also the next CoD.

errant raven
#

Laxasia, Simon manus, and nameless puppet better be good fights

#

I do know I'm in for a gank fight soon. Not looking forward for that tbh

pearl elk
#

Wonder how this lawsuit will go for Activision, they might need to borrow alot from MS to make CoD 😛

cursive crypt
#

They will sell some ingame assets in 10 colors and will make the money.

chrome gull
#

just the game tho, if it's actually a paid game

#

if it's F2P, I might consider paying for cosmetics

chrome gull
#

(of course, it's a different story when it's expensive and I don't have enough to pay)

brittle holly
#

I don’t think I’ve heard a song from those guys in a decade or so

brittle holly

LI’s never done anything good for me tbh

proud jay
#

Why are some physical stores so expensive. I wanted a random orbital sander, it was 205 in one local store, 190 in another, on local online shop it was 131, but then I found a polish site that was only 86 euros lol. And it's not even a scam cause it's arriving today. So the difference between the lowest and highest price here is just more than the price of the item, which is wild.

#

how am I supposed to buy local like this

tulip orbit
#

the store I work at is typically more expensive than other stores in the area, so I shop there instead 🙂

proud jay
#

I noticed this for all power tools though, even ignoring poland, everything online is like 40-50% cheaper

proud jay
tulip orbit
#

ha!

#

I cant afford to shop at my own store cause of my pay

unborn lotus
#

our local hardware shops are the online shops

celest musk
#

so it may get produced to poland

#

shipped to some distributor

#

shipped to the store

#

sold to you

proud jay
#

well, not sold to me in this case

celest musk
#

also everyone in the chain has to pay rents/employees, etc.

proud jay
#

this one local store that was the most expensive for this sometimes has some crazy deals though

#

got my drill really cheap

celest musk
#

maybe they really had to get rid of it

proud jay
#

they're also selling a set of 3 kinds of vaccuums for 99 bucks

celest musk
#

yea, but they suck

menace on cohost

To spy on living rooms, the TV has an array of four Knowles SiSonic KSM2 MEMS microphones, a big camera module (with a motorized shutter that covers the camera, at least) run by its own SoC with a deep learning accelerator block, and a fucking TI IWR6843 60GHz 3D object detection radar

edit: their privacy policy says the camera and its imagery ...

celest musk
#

i mean, what did they expect to find in that thing?

proud jay
#

I mean, it's a free tv

celest musk
#

it's an ad display which is able of showing TV content

deep glen
#

how dumb does one need to be to get that tv

celest musk
#

to get a TV at all

#

i haven't watched TV in like 20years except for some stuff on netflix

#

and getting normal ads on twitch now reminds me of why i didn't miss it a single minute

proud jay
#

I mean I watch a lot of movies and series, so a TV doesn't seem strange to have?

deep glen
#

i really fear the day when you cannot buy tv's without AI

zinc wagon
#

TV is great to watch stuff with Group like family or friends

celest musk
#

yea, i don't have friends

pearl elk
#

I dont like Friends, Joey annoys me

zinc wagon
#

Unless you are lonely then a VR headset would be the better investment

celest musk
#

and when i see family i prefer other things over sitting in front of TV

#

i was really considering a Quest3 apprently it's pretty good for it's price?

#

but on the other hand, i should rather work than wasting time on this

pearl elk
#

dont you need friends for a quest

celest musk
#

do you? welp...

zinc wagon
#

Just a Facebook account from what I hear

celest musk
#

wait, you need a FB account for that thing?

zinc wagon
#

Yeah

celest musk
#

Since we launched Meta accounts on Meta Quest in August 2022: You won't be required to use Facebook to log into Meta VR products. If you're new to VR, you'll create a Meta account as part of the setup process.

#

but yea, that's probably just a FB account in disguise 😄

proud jay
#

They had to by the EU I think

pearl elk
#

well since they linked FB, IG and Whatsit pretty much

zinc wagon
#

Isn't this outdated? I'm pretty sure last year alone a lot of people were complaining about the necessity of a Facebook account to use quest

proud jay
#

No

celest musk
proud jay
#

They wanted to remove the oculus account and only have fb

#

But that was illegal

#

So they made the meta thing

#

Afaik

celest musk
#

but honestly idc

pearl elk
#

I had an oculus account RIP

celest musk
#

i'm more curious if it's technical good, like can you watch a movie for 2h without getting nausea from blurry image or whatever

proud jay
#

you could do that on the quest 2

#

depending on the person maybe

celest musk
#

i haven't ever used VR stuff, so i'm a newb

zinc wagon
#

Everything seems to need to have an account atp

celest musk
#

well, you could just block internet access once it's set up?

zinc wagon
#

Idk. Maybe you need internet access when you first turn it on

#

Tbh idc personally. My Facebook account is only used for school stuff so the can collect that data all they want

pearl elk
#

lol Nvidia

#

lets make an app to display ads and disguise it as a driver updater

celest musk
#

did nvidia do that?

pearl elk
#

lol which hardware manufacturer doesnt at this point

#

Login to claim your warranty

#

Thats not even legal in Australia so I dunno why they bother lol

chrome gull
pearl elk
#

Welcome to your new VR headset, just read these short legal documents before we continue

celest musk
#

that's probably 100% what happens when you turn it on the first time

pearl elk
#

tbh games with long legal stuff at the beginning bug me

#

its a tiny bit of friction but its a first impression, if you hit me up with legal documents before the foot rub... yeah

chrome gull
#

cue CoD

#

literally 4 pop ups that show you all the agreements you need to accept

#

dammit I want to play Helldivers 2 but 1. that fucking rootkit anti-cheat and 2. I'm too poor 😭

pearl elk
#

what anticheat isnt a rootkit these days

#

Isnt Helldivers 2 a PvE game anyways

pearl elk
#

I guess they dont want people cheating the progression system then selling off accounts

pearl elk
#

gah this planet I swear

unreal ether
#

I've never understood banning account selling.

If people want to put the effort into grinding something, and someone wants to spend that money on buying a complete account, why stop them.

It's not harming the economy.

unreal ether
#

That's definitely a perspective I never considered. Don't know why I forgot people are unable to be honest individuals

#

Theoretically how would you distinguish a hacked account and a sold account though, assuming you don't support it, how do you protect the victim there?

empty dune
#

And put a tax on it. Like blizzard and wow gold farm!

turbid spindleBOT
#

:question: should mons calamari build the monscalamary spacefleet with generative calamari?
:8ball: Most likely.

unreal ether
#

Because you want to help your players with legitimately lost accounts, but you also don't want to support scams, but you don't also want to allow account sharing

#

It's messy

empty dune
#

Generative calamari is a horrifying concept i didn't even prepare to encounter today

unreal ether
#

Yeah I guess if you wanted to not do that, you'd have to not provide support for a hacked account either

#

This is why I'm never touching games like that until I can hire someone that figures out that bit for me :P

#

So realistically, I'm never touching a game like that

#

Of course

pearl elk
#

adds progression system to make money, ends up spending more on security... adds mtx to ensure profit

soft night
#

@pearl elk is Generative Calamari the horrifying concept as raindust said it to be

hi

chrome gull
#

I never even noticed it operating anywhere and the game has 0 cheaters

#

it's kernel based but only operates when a game that uses it

#

I guess it's better than nothing

#

vanguard is the most intrusive and dangerous AC I ever interacted with lol

#

it started asking me for all sorts of random access permissions

#

and then asked me to reboot my PC so it can do some shit

#

I was like "fuck that, this valorant is 100% not worth it, I'm sure"

#

no

#

it's only there in games that has MP

#

I played their Dead Space remake and it didn't run when I launched it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

I love how they use FIFA 23 for justification of this AC lol

proud jay
#

so my car is ready, but now the guy needs to ask our company if I can just pick it up like that or I need to go together with colleagues lol, cause apparently they have like 2 or 3 cars ready for us

Warhammer 40k: Darktide

40k is starting to sound like a sequence number of their games

wouldn't suprise me if there were 40000 warhammer games already

summer cedar
#

Probably around 40 by now, at least. 😄

proud jay
#

some of my ex colleagues worked on a warhammer 40k game even

#

I did a little too

#

but a 2d one

#

Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef

#

it's pretty good though if you're into 2d platforming shooters

summer cedar

not the systems I'm having issues with atm, was taking a break from that bit, and working on the actual meshes, but dont know what I'm doing with designing this sci-fi type layout. I'm a terrible artist

tulip orbit
#

modelling

#

level design is handled by the generator. Just need appropriate meshes for it

chrome gull
tulip orbit
#

making the meshes in blender. No prefabs like pre-made rooms or anything. Just each wall tile has its own mesh, different floor tiles, etc

chrome gull
#

ahh understood

#

seems like a sick system

tulip orbit
#

it works pretty good actually. Just limited by my artistic/modelling ability right now.

#

I've had cave/mines and castle dungeons in previous versions of the system, so its quite versatile

#

only real issue I've yet to solve is lighting... right now I'm completely dependant on lumen

#

and I do want to add in prefabs at some point

chrome gull
#

the systems I worked with let you create prefabs so that you still had control over what gets added

#

it's basically just a layout generator

chrome gull
tulip orbit
#

yeah that would make it easier on that front. I do have a thing where I can spawn blueprints in, which could be a lighting system. like those walls lights seen in my screenshot above, I could have it spawning in actual point lights. But its all RNG, so entire areas could be super dark, while others really well lit

chrome gull
#

maybe establish a rule that there should be a light blueprint spawned every X units away

Most people want to be polite and kind, but they sometimes get genuinely confused and don't realize what they are saying could be considered problematic. Gentle correction and assuming good intentions helps a lot in these situation

lmao

fathom wadi
#

in the situation in the screenshot, the person is not responsible for any pronoun use until they are requested to use specifics. You can't just guess these things. But once you are requested it costs nothing to be polite. But that doesn't mean the other person has a right to be rude about it either.

What bothers me is when they try to force it on others. Making regular conversation into a potential minefield, and disrupting established standards for inter person communication.

a housewife/mother is a working woman and I would say works harder than a career woman because it's 24/7

# timber viper stupid lerp function

I have a slight theory.... I know some products do this so the users don't actually charger their stuff to "real" 100% often
Since it's not usually recommended to charge to 100%, it degrades battery life over time, I feel like this shows "fake" 100% and maybe around that 80% it actually is in line with the real battery percentage

I finally decided to invest in a good pair of headphones and now I'm regretting that I didn't do it sooner

I am assuming each brain-chip will behave like a prosthetic in many ways, requiring a certain 'focus' and concentration to activate and use. So, if you are writing, the chip should ignore everything you are doing, unless you are typing in MS Word with your mind. This is just conjecture on my part, mind you. Neuralink is very hush hush with the chippy chip details.
