Games need to go back to being 30 bucks full price
Not to say they're even worth that much
It was 40-50, not 30.
My phone is fucked
Idk what happened, but it randomly flickers on and off, sometimes invert colours, pixels default to standard main 3 rgb colours, then solid white.
Still recognizes touched and power on/off button. Returns to normal between 20 seconds - 8 minutes
You could do with an extra 1000W on that PSU.
I'd also get a dual socket server mobo. You don't have to buy 2 CPU's, just having the extra socket increases performance by 10,000,000%
It's Ember Tell, my current web novel.
framing implied a custom presentation of some sort
will google
first time i ever heard of scp is this game
looks very different from the textboxes you were showing though
A book requires scrolling down to read. ๐
And yes, you found it. ๐
You can also read it on ScribbleHub, Royal Road, Wattpadd, and my website, if that's more convenient. ๐
Triple CPU mobo, all empty -> 10000000000000% boost
I found a good paper about it
By Dejaยฎ
I see. A Love Triangle drama is brewing.
I mean... nooo... this is totally a real paper
Damn, I just wanted to launch UE, but I forgot I updated on extension.
And now I have to launch the IDE. Which triggered an auto-update.
And now, an hours of updates and builds await me.
One thing I like about VS is the update on close feature
you guys update your IDEs?
although I do update my VSCode, but it just does it while runnin and you have to restart when it's done, but like when you feel like it
I have OCD and as soon as I see this Update on Close and I want to close it.
A stupid thing that happened is that ReSharper kept notifying me that its AI assistant is licensed, but not activated. Which I have no f clue what does it mean, except to pay them 100 euro.
there you go, pay them
Wiki for C++? ๐ค
noticed there is a fast generator included with the source that list me all the cvars and each them use case
is there a way to see on web like that or in VS all the classes and child classes etc
as the Epic web used todo ?
A diagram of all classes in the engine?
docs
kinda yeah, to see descending actors etc
Complete resources for learning to use Unreal Engine 5
Haven't seen. I don't think so.
yeah that's the new "wiki"
Maybe you can run a tool on the code to make one. Or someone else already did.
but in the old one you were able to see all parents and childs
aah, it was a miserable diagram anyway if you ask me.
All classes
oh
this, seems like still here but different
the hierarchy is harder to read that before
I really need to buy a coffee machine.
I just realised I'm spending ยฃ1000/yr on my local costa vending machine.
(that's 1 coffee a day!)
I think, having something like that one would be better https://app.creately.com/d/fZknuArLuyk/view - it was just a quick search on the net.
dauymn... Glad I do not drink coffee.
oh but that's just for the base classes
Akin to the new Material Texture graph? Or what was its name exactly ๐ค
Texture Graph produces textures in a node graph.
I work on a photoshop-style layer stack that actually produces usable UMaterials.
wait but thats a plugin, internal or
It's an editor plugin.
Kinda the Material layer system? Or is your stuff kinda SubstanceDesigner on Layers?
It works just like photoshop with layers. You get a layer stack per material channel.
Including masks, blend types, etc.
hmm...
So, an user makes material graphs which are previewed and layered in separate editor
2x threadripper board you mean
Still only get 1 fps in minesweeper
No, the user doesn't have to interact with the material graph at all. It's all contained in a new asset which is itself a model it uses to generate a material, the material itself and a MID. Of itself.
Okay, but how one creates a layer? What kind of tools are used?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osK99tICgso this guy did a video. It's a super old version (this is the currently released version I think), it's gotten a lot more advanced since then, supporting all the material channels and such.
This beginner-friendly tutorial dives into Unreal Engine 5.4โs Material Designer, a powerful tool for creating stunning graphics with the Motion Design tool like this Victory Screen!

0...
It even has a text and umg widget renderer you can use to auto-generated textures to place in your material ๐
hmm... so it is kinda Substance Painter, w/o the painting ๐ค
Pretty much.
duh, okay, I got it. lol, it took time ๐
Well, it looks good base, maybe add painting later ๐
I think that's a bit beyond my purview. Texture graph can generate the textures (and do the painting?) I'll make the materials. And they'll feed that into the layering system they're doing.
Pipeline, I summon thee!
It's like 600 files or so + assets
that exists already in UE?!
material layers are a thing
jesus
It's not material layers. It's a layering system that produces a single material.
Change, how?
what's wrong with material layers?
Is kinda different approach.
You still need to make materials?
This does that for you.
You can make production ready materials without know how to use the material editor.
i'm not quite sold yet
for my clients usually I do a master material they can use for almost anything
Substrate ftw
The Material Layers require you to make graphs and stitch them and work on one mesh as a preview.
Instead, here, I see you just use higher-level tools like layers, blends, masks, textures, etc layered again, but you can also tune your scene.
It feels more familiar to your average photoshoppergimper/painter artist.
didn't used it at all yet*
Yeah. It's an authoring program.
so technically is like a soft version for artist that don't know how to make a shader but they know whats the photoshop thing they need or something alike
or what kind of layer
it generate the shader graph itself ?
Exactly.
Yes.
You can open the materials it makes in the regular material editor and check out what it does.
The node layout is pretty horrible, though, lol.
I need a better placement algorithm.
yeah like some tools from epic or so
I bet
but it works so
Which tools?
i see, maybe i'm too biased by my own "skills"
i didn't see a need for this
thought material graph isn't too complicated for anyone
but well, i've used blender for years, which has a similar material thing to unreal
I think from megascans or so, there is a single script to make a material I think
Another advantage is taht everything is a parameter. And they are all keyframeable and exposable to remote control.
So you can drive materials directly from sequencer without MPCs and so on.
I feel another Metallica song... Master of Materials
after years on this can tell you it does, is like shaders itself if you need specific things isn't like a non programmer will do
And, yeah, I probably wouldn't use this tool if I wanted a simple material.
But it has a lot of advanced and useful features. The UV controls, for instance, are fantastic.
yea i can see how this is great for VP, etc.
especially the hassle free keyframe thing
oh my case usually I do the work of the tool itself, make the master thing easy of use to all but then if they need something more specific can ask
I even wrote a little visualizer, so you can drag uvs about.
@fleet tangle that client is from games industry ?
The client is Epic.
oh the client is Epic
so is a tool to "resell"
sounds like
a key tool for next updates then
my client is common
meh
wish they were atleast rare
It's in the current engine. It'll be way better in 5.5, though.
so after you make the tool and I lost that segment of my work

you will be happy about that
xD
epic with every update pretty much
i spent weeks on a tool to transfer skin weights
now it's in 5.4 or 5.5 afaik
yeah I can tell you invested myself months doing something and Epic came with the new update making a better version of what I did
and i guess it's better than mine ๐ฆ
Pretty requested feature tbh
Like they added the sub rendering for FP weapons 12 years later
when before they claimed this wasn't possible
but the rendering changed a lot
tbh for me the pannini filter did the thing
also thanks to Epic for making it
a feature I wish is to get the colors from screen on a cubemap or something
or get the closes cubemaps or something alike that
there are no cubemaps only rays
the rays then
I do remember making a retro FPS
the weapon was actually in the UMG
and there is no human way to get player screen data for colors
if I were to make a retro FPS I would use Doom Eternals editor ๐
I dont have to redist though, everyone has Doom Eternal right ๐
Nope, only the first part. Because it came for free with my monitor.
Theres always $1 Game Pass
๐ฎ
that's such a strange thing getting things free with your monitor
as if the free random game is pushing you over the edge to buy that specific one
the new batched light for me will be the deal
I understood post-factum, so got excited - it was back in 2016 (or was it 2017?). Peak Doom time.
Who doesnt want to see Doom on a new monitor
wasn't 1993 peak doom time
4k with gsync was a new thing
so I bought a new watch for my wife
now I want one too
even though I already have one
Which one?
only OGs understand the sync
Garmin VivoActive 5
looks nice
still have to pick it up from post box
but if it's as good as it looked, I'm thinking of buying one for myself too lol
I got the Garmin Epix 2, love that battery life
I'm getting annoyed by my fitbit battery life
ok, but that's too expensive lol
that year is peak I spawned
Give her some time for a trial.
I got mine half price tbh
of course
maybe she doesn't like it and I just steal that one lol
Secretly drain its battery.
I know people like that, they secretly drain everyones battery
how
like connecting wires?
I think they are called energy vampires
http://FringeTelevision.com Watch the shape shifter transform, in the Fringe episode "A New Day In The Old Town".
My system is handling starfield like a boss. All settings at Ultra/High (where applicable), except for Motion Blur that I HATE.
65 FPS. The CPU and GPU have an I-don't-give-a-f@#$ attitude, wtih temps sitting at 65C and ever-so-occasionally rising to 70C for a few seconds.
I had to waste half an hour solving an ASI (mod facilitator) blink file loader problem - due to Beth updating the game.
I can push the FPS to 95-100 with DLSS set o Performance/Ultra Performance and render resolution at 95%, but it seems like a waste. Modders are also saying that while Starfield supports 120 FPS, it's VERY unstable near those numbers.
Now, the question is whether I can arrange the game AND YouTube AND Discord windows, to let me multi-task properly.
And the answer is - yes, I can! ๐
There's a small annoyance I still need to solve, but otherwise it's awesome. ๐
Does anyone know how to remove or reduce the size of a window's title bar in Windows 11?
@fleet tangle is there a way to get from blueprints the resources used inside a material?
Aka the textures calls inside
Yay! ๐ช I used Winaero Tweaker to reduce the size of the title bar to 10 px.
Problem solved! ๐ Now, I don't lose those precious 5-6px at the bottom of the game's window.
If the "editor only data" is available in BP, maybe. I highly doubt that it's bp accessible.
Join Creative Director, Joel Bylos, and our host, Soe Gschwind, as they give you a behind-the-scenes look at our Gamescom booth and the various activities we had going on during the event. They also sit down to discuss the core gameplay of Dune: Awakening such as combat, building, spice harvesting, and more.
Dune: Awakening is an open world sur...
Nice.
Well, I spent half an hour tweaking the brightness and contrast in Starfield.
You learn something new every day. Apparently, the contrast setting should ensure all the shades - from black to gray - are visible on the image.
I liked control a lot, but gave up cause of shit boss fight
A movie released in India - Kalki - used Unreal Engine for some portions of the movie, so the internet told me.
I wonder if they're gonna actually gonna use sam lake and the dude that played alan in the movie
the mandalorian uses unreal all the time
yeah UE has been used in quite a few shows by now
I thought that was very cool.

Right, time to finally PLAY Starfield, instead of fiddling with the settings.
hehe. But, how so?
you'll see
I've played Starfield on my laptop till level 48. I never felt that way.
So, what are you referring to?
that the planet exploration is shit
Oh; that old complaint.
Yeah, I never felt that even without mods.
Now, you have lots of PoI(s) with mods. ๐
But, to be fair, I never played the game as anything but random exploration - I never did a SINGLE campaign mission or ever completed a new game. ๐
I can't wait to drive my military jeep around planets.
There are mods that add several vehicles. ๐
@proud jay General Q'Anon meth head ready to explore the galaxy.
monke
All he needs is an AR-15 - poison spewer edition and he's good to go.
could play in planet of the apes for sure
this must be what Ambulance looks like
๐คฃ Dude, the thought occurred to me as I was putting the finishing touches on him... er, it.
This multi-tasking layout is so cool. ๐
That's basically FancyZones in Windows.
Yeah, those are very cool.
I have 5 layouts set up for various purposes, like writing, gaming, teaching, general exploring, etc.
can I just say, the web editor vscode thing was a great addition to github
my first dutch oven bread is currently baking
I hope it's not shit
You can edit in github directly from VS with it?
in your browser
Nice! ๐
if you're logged in to github
and you go to a repo
you can press .
and it will open a web instance of vscode
with that repo open
It's so cool that people create all these nifty plugins.
Very nice of them.
I am going to call my character Win Dankong, after Sun Wukong.
Win Ducas? That sounds nice.
where they say I'm Fartacus, but in dutch they use the word wind for fart so it's windacus
windows 11 says hi
it's not the same
Download Powertoys from MS Store and use FancyZones instead.
It gives you more control and better results.
Use Win+Shift+apostrophe to access quick menu for it. ๐
yeah I used powertoys before but I removed it since I switched to win11 since most of the stuff from powertoys is now within windows itself (stuff I used at least)
Not FancyZones though.
dotfiles: https://github.com/nabakdev/dotfiles
i haven't updated it yet, but that's the same as the setup I used in the video
#hyprland #linux #windowmanager #code #coder #waybar #wlogout #wayland #arch #archlinux
The Win 11 default window organiser is not good enough.
๐
the only thing I like about it over win10 is the rounded corners
You aren't wrong. They even removed the title bar pixel reduction feature in Win 11.
but even that is annoying sometimes
I had to get WinAero Tweaker.
my god do I hate linux lol
I'm always surprised when people unironically actually enjoy it
you can use it much like windows if you want though tbh
depending on your desktop environment
Apparently, Zor-something Linux is designed to be like Windows.
It's got all the trappings of Win UI, but you get more themes if you pay for it.
lol I'm not new to linux, I just value my sanity
It's about 1/10th the price of a Win license.
only way linux can be on my system is through wsl2, otherwise it's insufferable
I wish the hardware companies supported Linux more.
More competition - more playing fields - a level playing field. Very important to encourage innovation.
My goodness. That's beautiful!
@broken sigil I love my new PC. ๐
I would call this a success
WAR!!!
what specifically annoys you
not hating
just curious
I have ubuntu on my laptop and it can be frustrating at times
but like the majority of the time it's just fine

the bread smells so good
- Lack of software support and parity with windows alternatives
- Basic operations being more complicated than it needs to be
- Elitism among the linux users, most people use linux purely for the feeling of superiority
If for any reason I need linux I have wsl
you interact with linux users?
don't they live in their mom's basement and don't talk to people
Sadly
Yet to meet a Linux user that didn't introduce themselves with the fact they use linux
lol
the linux i like currently is Trisquel
Using linux is pretty much their personality
we have this one big linux fan at work
he uses the penguin as his background in meetings
he's obsessed
he called his son Linus
I wonder whether his wife knows
Lmao
some say blue man also use sudo on windows
sudo ku maybe
Look at this heat, you can also hear the bread crackling a bit in the background
This is fun. 946mL cream container. Noticed it felt a little lightweight. Actually contained 625mL. Now I'm all for giving cows less difficult working conditions but...
Dissolve the cow unions immediately.
Enforce strict overtime milking.
Curb wage grasses for those cows, until proper quantities are milked and sold.

i always wondered why they only charged 25% more for the 1L container over the 500mL container
33% M.F = 33% Missing Fluid so that's where the problem is

Cool mod: Calls your ship almost anywhere, while exploring a planet.
You don't have to walk back to your ship anymore. ๐
horrible game. It's unreal.
One of the things I disliked about Starfield was a lot of the time you just warped to a spot, or there was no feeling of travelling at all. Even on the planets you knew you were just landing right into another template so it wasn't a feeling of discovery. No man's sky managed to at least get variation in their outposting system but two different games I'll admit.
You can travel manually now, slowly or rapidly; your poison. ๐
There's a mod for that; they are still perfecting it.
1k hours only?
yeah it's not good enough tho. Bethesda should be doing better instead of the bare minimum
that's only 1 month of work, WAIT....
Not that Starfield doesnt have some fun moments. I had a really good time during a full sidemission storyline in the campaign. But it was all located in the same hub pretty much
3 months
Todd will be Todd, the God.
A mod I really like is the scanning enhancer.
It makes a lot of the PoIs on the map show up pretty quickly.
last game i had >1k hours was probably Ark
the UI mod is the only one I touched. It was a lot better but it also truly pissed me off that a triple A company isn't hiring me to do this shit.
I just landed in Jameson - the first city - and I have three PoIs to investigate right outside the city limits.
Before the mod, I used to leg it around a planet and find one PoI at a time.
Now, on any random planet, I've got seven or eight on my sensors at any given time. ๐
The Star Wars character replacer mods are quite nice too. I changed all the UC guards to stormtroopers and clone troopers.
I have been meaning to complete my playthrough but the game is like eating sushi. They make it look good but then you taste it and convulse. They should have called the game Fellout. Because it seems like they finally made the one Fallout clone that didn't convince everyone that the same gameplay every year is what we want. Right FIFA fans?
Hehe. I never finished a single campaign mission, forget an entire run.
All I did for forty eight levels - sans magic starborn powers - is explore, explore, explore.
Now with vehicles, vehicle mods, and even MOARRR mods, I hope to reach level 80. ๐
it's not that there isn't fun parts in the campaign. Or the game in general. I'm just being an entitled gamer that expects more from people wasting hundreds of millions to make shit games whilst people starve
I don't care, so long as I am having fun.
Starfield is the first game where I decided to play non-linearly.
Until then, I always followed the campaigns and stories. With this, I dumped Vasco a.s.a.p. and flew off. ๐
With how AMAZING the game is on my new PC and with all the cool mods, I'm going to be exploring A LOT! ๐ช
Also, I fell asleep at the keyboard. It's 2 a.m.
i hear that, i wish EVE online and Elite Dangerous would go together that would be cool
Gonna give this a try, anyone have seen it or have a nice recommend docu?
yeah all the years we have put up with cloning of games (40+ years for me) and they can't get the formula right for extensibility of gameplay. They just shovel the same thing out time and time again with one or two changes that are usually copied too. Now I know they can't put down all new ideas every game, but at least make a fkin effort I say.
well... technically I say that. In reality I'm making a super shitty game to make quick grand :p
it's 50/50. I am making a crappy game but I am putting effort into making sure it's right. Also the statement was 50% right. Just from the gamer perspective, but as a dev I understand the fiscal responsibilities of triple A and why it goes wrong almost every time.
yeah same, sometimes i look at behind the scenes stuff from big companies and im like "How can you mess this up?!" and then i realise there is so much more at play then just an idea
yeah the truth is, nobody has a clue what they are doing. Everyone is winging it. Even those with complete full stack project management can't get it right and just swing for the rafters.
When I look at my own work i'm like "this is wrong this needs fixed" and then someone else comes along and is like "that is off" and im oh damn you right, i think? and then 10k descisions later a deadline is not met ๐
@timber viper did you watch gantz yet

omg affinity photo 2 is so amazing
does exactly what i wanted it to, didnt have to google how, in 4/5 cases so far
and never used it before, and havent used photoshop in last .. 10 yrs or so
you can have a layer that is a "live procedural texture"
and its not just "select between a few types of noise be bothered to put in a dropdown"
i mean there is a preset dropdown
but its literally just an equation you could edit, too

Hey, Blue Man, I tested Fooocus on my new PC last night.
๐ฅ
1500x1500px images generated at max 60-step quality @ of 1 pic every 1 minute and ten seconds. ๐
that's pretty good, for a large resolution as well
And my GPU was again in its I-don't-give-a-f@#$ attitude at 72C temp, max clock and memory. ๐
I switched models and LoRAs, and render quality many times. Python didn't crash even once.
On another note, I wish UE would just detect the existing projects without having to reload them every fresh install.
Okay, time to clone the blank template.
Let's hope UE doesn't corrupt it and explode in a fit of righteous indignation.
I need to see if I can speed up this engine's preloading processes.
Well, that took a minute, but it doesn't seem like UE broke anything.
Does this still work?

you need god
i need my tommy back
i think god fu*ked this up in the first place
Could we just chill here. The name is... questionable.. I am unsure if it crosses a line. Asked other mods.
drugs prolly
it is molly mae day thats all guys
Could you please stop this tone. I said what's up no use arguing it like this.
now i wonder what's up with the name xD
it's a tv person apparently
i was actually just having some fun, these guys turned all toxic on me
Please have fun with a more suitable user name
can you point us to the toxic please
I'm so glad I have no idea who that person is.
except for you randomly pingin corey 5 times of course
yeaaaaah
is this better
corey pinged first (in #ue5-general)
2 wrongs dont make a right ๐ญ
you said it corey

please
the dieter defo isnt on a diet
I'm not wondering if it's the same person on 2 accounts.
it's a name my man
im sorry for your loss
maybe try looking outside the anglosphere bubble once in a while
and get your brain checked
it sounds much needed
my brain hurts
He's stolen my name
Interesting...
dont worry robbie we are all just having online internet fun
are we
bit of banter
I'm online internet annoyed
maybe not dieter cause he clearly hates his life
allright then
It all seems rather childish to be honest
ngl, this is 13+ server
but we are all having a unique experience am i right
an unique experience we don't want to have
we are all having fun except the guy on a diet
@shy fable please just change your name back and stop with the trolling. And using the name Childish Molly is not really helping the case.
I don't think anyone is having fun with your presence
Things are finally looking up.
Stop.
is there a way to change steam recommendation page?
this always appears on my steam when i open them
there's kids around..

okie i will look for them. thank you
based on the thumbnail it's probably great

no. this reviewer hates it

huh? sorry genuine question, people make profit out of this???
yes
wow...
oh yes, you underestimate how horney the average person is
it's like OF girls, some of them make millions
honestly there is a huge subsection of depraved people with enormous amounts of spare cash

that's rare tho
my big sis draws adult stuff, and makes enough off that to afford her own house and support her family
most can be lucky if it pays their rent (if at all)
because the mentality of "its mine"
I think it's more about the parasocial aspect

lol
sad part is that i know theres people that think like that
does someone have 10k spare? asking for a friend
not me
my partner got so many twitch subs and donors because she had a soft and unique voice

idk how the ratio is
but kids are dumb (that ratio is very high)
of course
most very popular streamers are men afaik
but for the smaller ones I think the parasocialness is way higher with female streamers
I have nothing to back this up
just my feeling
teens get horny and twitch is like the only place they can sort of get any lewd without being on sites that trigger any parental filters
Kids nowadays are dumb then... computer knowledge always pays off.
kids are always dumb, but that's not their fault
something like "covenant eyes" which is both an addiction relapse watcher, an offender monitoring, and parental control system typically doesnt alert on twitch
those who exploit it are a problem tho
true true, been there
How Twitch handled streamer Kim_Mikka_ was also criticized, after she was banned for just one week in August after a window reflection showed her having sex live on stream.
one week ban lol
problem is that modern marketing mentality exploits people being dumb
yeah I hate this
people have always been dumb af
but now people look up to it somehow
why my games dont do that well because i purposefully try make games you have to think in
honestly the mobile game marketing system is the worst
just put some more booba in there
when ads literally have no connection to the actual gameplay
pretty sure were heading to another industry bubble in gaming in general, so maybe it bursting will cause some good changes
what kind of changes?
I hope the microtransactions die and not everything is live service
but we all know they make too much money from mtx
this is all blizzard's fault
they made a stupid horse in WoW and they made more money off of the fucking thing than the entirety of starcraft 2
who in their right mind pays 25 bucks for a stupid digital horse
live service for everything i think is going to get murdered
and some of the older huge companies will get slashed pretty bad because they arent delivering anything really good now compared to what they were
I also wish all the big companies were not making the same game over and over
even more "subtle", like the same assassin's creed game in a different setting
people in general would hate you far less
but it's pretty much the same game
also the ludicrous levels of spending on a game
yeah
give me some nice shorter games instead of a repetitive crap fest that takes 150 hours to complete
maybe they don't have to charge 90 dollars for it then
some of these games hit blockbuster movie levels of funding and some indie studio with 5 people working revshare and 20 grand of marketing money outsells them
yup
I mean im all for a large game
like RDR2
but it actually has to have stuff IN IT
or a logical reason for the maps to be HUGE
other than simply because you abused procedural gen
some of them are nice, if they are made to be that, not the games that are artifically made longer by repeating the same thing 17 times and having collectibles that are the same crap all over the world
i love RDR2 while it also lacks content for what it could be
agreed
it's a great game, it's chill, but the world is so large with not much to do (compared to GTA V)
I like it because when im bored i can go all murder hobo
I miss games that had that option
or the whole "you deviated from the path, your failed mission"
one thing the recent zelda games have going for them
"hey go murder this guy somehow"
on the other hand, for games like RDR2 probably take a bunch of time to create content
or when RDR2/GTAV tries to be a stealth game and fails at it
as it's primary about characters, and animation is a pita
agreed
and theres only so many things you can make quests out of without adding more complicated mechanics
what bugs me most is that it becomes an stupid grind at some point
agreed
to get the higher tier horses
and they could probably at least add some heists to online, like they had in SinglePlayer
or you get GTA Online like crap where they intentionally make getting money so hard that either people buy their micro, or they cheat the game so its fun
the single player campaign was awesome tho
I personally have no issue with cheaters as long as their cheats dont interfere with my gameplay
like I play GTA Online with primarily infinite ammo cheats, and cops off
mainly because ammo is rediculously expensive
when the easiest missions (the blow up ones) only net you like 8k and thats maybe a set of full clips for your SMG, or a few blocks of C4 its annoying
i think it's super easy to get money, just invest the first million in an arcade
then grind casino for a day and you are set
oh agreed, i have 90+ million in GTAO
and everything unlocked
well except anything they have put in in the last 6 months
but my friend doesnt like grinding gta
and cops in gta are terminally stupid
i think there was "only" the thing where you catch criminals
so private cop stuff
which is rather meh
yeah
but other companies would've called the game dead years ago ๐
honestly, when i play GTA now me and my friend simply use it for PVP
GTA6 is supposedly been in development for like 8 years now with 2 billion invested
which means its either going to be a success or murder rockstar
i'm pretty sure it's going to be a success ๐
oh agreed
and ill be happy for a new map to play
i just wish more online games these days distributed local host software
like they used too
so many good games dead simply because the hosters stopped paying for servers
why im pushing my teams to add dedicated server software for our online game project
plus dedicated servers can save you server costs
rockstar also hired the FiveM team
honestly the games i really like are all hidden gems
this one expressly: https://transcendence.kronosaur.com/
Transcendence is an open world 2D space game, with trading, combat, exploration and much more. Try the core game for free today!
the developer has been working on it for like 20 years now
alone and made a really cool game with some fairly standard mechanics but done in really fun ways
plus the sheer size of the maps makes it wild
Yes, you may. However, pirates will be purged next year.
it is interesting to see a few of the "anticipated" games get absolutely slaughtered in terms of long term players
Dude I went from getting 10-30 kills a game in fortnite to not even being able to get 5, let alone barely getting 1
Same season, same weapons, same map, same equipment and heals. What the fuck changed?
My health gets nuked in 3 bullets by someone 200 meters away, how the hell is that even possible
didn't they add mmr based matchmaking
I know they tried it at some point
but idk if they then cancelled it again
also at the start you get matched with bots
idk how long you've been playing
dude finds out he was playing bots up till now and thought he was pro
smh
youve only gotten good at the gameplay as intended, now you must learn to gitgud against real hackers
neat looking into this riiight now
Yeah I'm plat 3
No, I'm just getting mat hed against pc players
Fortnite has ranks
Anyway so your not a new player and have many games played
I'm 21 points from diamond 1
since when lol
the DLC are worth getting too
Pretty high ranked
oh since may 2023 apparently
likely through their own website even though there is a steam release
I've been consistently reaching plat and diamond
so you know there's mmr matchmaking and still you wonder why you're owning less?
I think your brain mmr must be quite low
In the og season I got up to diamond 3, 15 points from elite rank
Well then, i recommend my own goto explanation: goddamn ISP hacker server lag windows update
I'm just getting matched against pc players in comp and I'm on console
just git gud lol
Oh, maybe if thats recent, its also related to climbing ranks
Cant even turn crossplay off
play on pc then
I've been able to get kills and wins in plat 1 and 2
Plat 3 is not any different at all
idk how it works in fortnight, in COD at this point controller players are competitive with pc ones
the aim assistance algorithm and related settings are quite extensive
Cod has a strong aim assist that allows you to keep up
yea i mean the goal was exressly to level the playing field for the benefit of crossplay
And tbh the guns have close to zero recoil, and most are hitscan
Fortnite moved from hitscan to all projectile based bullets
And they added heavier recoil
sound like a skill issue
the fact that they seem to have actually managed it (which id historically never have thought possible) is pretty neat, but now im surprised its not been copied by more games
Aim assist + projectile based firing is not good
sounds like you're the one that's not good
Itll keep your crosshair on an opponent but you'll still miss shots, trying to lead is a pain in the ass
Trump wants to make America great,
a perfect place for folks who hate
most everyone whoโs different than they.
A place where truth will be outlawed
where every character is flawed,
perverted or corrupt in every way.
Heโll make sure things like love and trust
are slowly ground down into dust,
tossed out so that perversion can prevail.
He th...
Theres this guy called bushcampdad who got the highest rank in the game just by living until 5 people are left. 0 kills
sounds like a smart man
almost as if the aim of the game is not kills but survival
strange
He actually is smart
Hes found insane bugs you can use for camping
His main strategy is using the alien bill skin and hiding in trees
my understanding is that the algorithm is mostly dampening of input -away- from a target, so as you swing aim around it slows down/becomes more precise, before you pass by them. if whether or not you are plausibly even trying to aim at the enemy depends on the projectile/weapon arc, well that can be taken into consideration the same way as one would for hitscan based weapons that have a falloff, right?
does fortinight do aim-down-sights?
but by and large, there is a lot of just 3rd person crosshair shooting?
Higher rarity weapons can have more mods installed
With shotguns and smgs yea
They cant decide to keep snipers in or out the game
ok to clarify, an assault rifle -- do you hold a trigger to get a slightly zoomed in crosshair with less sensitive input scaling?
Rifles are basically useless thanks to the war machines rocket/machine gun gloves and his auto canon that shoots people for you while you can still shoot your own guns
oh.
Auto canon does absurd amounts of damage too
anyway only reason this is relavent even vaguely is because if the gameplay involves free-aiming high arc grenade like projectiles without even being in some sort of 'aiming mode' toggle, then yea aim assist cant help you for shit -- especially since it would happen while you are just looking and walking around
Warmachines jetpack just makes you really difficult to hit on top of also being able to use the rocket gauntlets and auto turret at the same time
Aiming on console with sticks and trying to move around to not get hit yourself is really difficult
Just gonna get a mouse and keyboard and shit on everyday
Build mode is also absolute garbage on a controller when i tried fortnight for the one and only time, years ago.
I play zero build
Good point, consoles actually CAN use mouse keyboard.
I dont wanna sit there and watch someone build a mansion just because I shot and missed them
I'm gonna get a chronus zen too
I dont want to watch some guy walk backwards dropping walls faster than my fire rate.
Not to run scripts, but just to force mouse and keyboard for overwatch and valorant too
That part is undetectable, running scripts is detectable
idk what chronus zen even is
It's a device "made for disabled people" to play games like a normal person would
any game that is not written to handle keyboard/mouse input, is never going to play worth shit trying to make a virtual controller axis input from one
unless its like the steam controller
but thats in the other direction
It just forces the mouse and keyboard to be recognized as a controller
Everyone on overwatch and valorant use it
Poor valorant just released on console, that's another game where my performance was really good then dropped to nothing
xbox and ps are both standard usb for input ports these days, right?
Yes
They recognize mouse and keyboard, but they cant be used for just any game. The game itself has to have support for it
Like cod and fortnite do. Overwatch and valorant dont
im not sure tbh how one would have a setup for a console, that isn't at a desk, and have this work out
you probably DO want to be at a desk, thats the position you need to actually do high performance mouse stuff
But I wish they did, because the devs should already know about the chronus zen problem, look at rainbow 6 siege for example
Hooking a xbox series x up to a regular tv is stupid
The system can do 1440p at 120fps, you're missing out by playing on a 60hz tv
so, you play with controller, but looking at a monitor, sitting in a chair?
Yes
youre using TTS right now
Just a shitty logitech mouse that would be normal sized if a 1 month old baby held it
I dont use tts
I type faster than I can speak
with no keyboard even o.o
actually though in that exact situation, i WOULD use tts
Comp games on console are just awkward and cringe
I really miss waking up at 4am and playing csgo until 10pm
are you saying games made for pc and ported to console, are awkard and cringe? if so, i largely agree. but fortnight is not at all a 'pc primarily' game and never was afaik
Most the stuff they add seems like it was made purrely for pc
Using majority of some items just feels like it didnt even have console on the devs mind when they made it
i assume microtransactions, fortnight store, etc does work on console?
Without a problem
Works fluidly
Brawlhalla is a pc game, but it works just fine on console. Nothing too complicated for the layout of a controller
made me think of valheim lol
brohalla
man thats pretty good as a way to end a word
I installed pixel strike 3D on console, played a game or two. It's nothing but cheaters bhopping around and head shotting each other
It's pretty funny tho
free to play? shooter? only multiplayer?
i dont even consider installing, on pc or console
I think I'll just stick to single player games on console
Or games that dont require 20 actions a second
psssh just suck it up, snort another adderall, and gitgud
your heart will love it
not saying to try it, but no it would not
being more in control of fine motor actions, rather than for example overaiming, would be of benefit
i cant say if that ability would go up or down
though
I already dont have problems focusing either, I can focus on something and not stop until it has a physical end stopping me, or if I pass out and wake up wondering what happened
yes well that is the medication ;D
That's without medications
then what exactly are you taking it for?
I dont take it, I had to take it for a week at the hospital just so they can see if it works on me or not so they can prescribe another one that would
oh
alright well i also have adhd except i actually take medication every day
and its 100% a performance enhancer
so.
(relative to not on it)
the purpose in fact is to improve my performance, at work and life in general ;D
do not take this as a recommendation to get a script you dont need so you can ownzor noobs in fortnight
please for the love of god
All I need is nicotine and coffee
Coffee also does not do anything for me, I just like the way it tastes. Better than tea as well
well youre not making it strong enough then. i have a big jar of instant coffee, put a whole spoon full in mug, only fill 2 fingers of water, drink it like an espresso shot
It's a dark brown, close to being black
Love how I'm on the very edge of the map, for 2 minutes, all by myself and someone just magically gets up behind me
Only thing behind me is a big ass ocean too
so they airdropped in, watch the skies cadet!
I have the deaf help thing on
It shows icons of people gliding, running, driving, or jet packing in a 30 meter area
None of that popped up
Doesnt help that if you fire a gun 30 people come rushing to third party
Not even exaggerating
silencer attachments are op in COD
Ranked fortnite is just 70 people thirsting for kills
You have to be lucky to find a gun with the silencer attachment
lol 100% it is about maximizing kills per second
You cant modify guns yourself until the 3rd circle, even then those areas are pinged for everyone in the lobby, and it becomes hotzones
arent there game modes, if not the regular even, that let you bring something in on spawn
ie COD loadout crates
some perks in COD related to minimap visibility too
If I could get 1 kill and live to 50 remaining then I wont lose any elo, I'll gain 3 or 5 elo, that's it.
But I like killing people
does kill number actually matter itself
or is it only number remaining when you die
Not sure
I've gotten 3 kills and lost 8 elo a bunch of times
I think its kills per remaining
anyway if you are spawning afk on the edge of map it auto drops you at or someshit, because not worth trying till 5min in, maybe play a shorter-duration game mode ;D
Yeah, I just got 2 kills and lost/gained 0 elo
63 remaining
I think early round kills dont matter much, it's all about how many zones you lived for, your final placement, and kills.
Yet again, I gotten 1 kill and died in 93 and gained elo
Doesnt seem to be anything consistent
I dont see any ain assist options, I wonder if they removed it
I switch to rifle, shoot it, but it switches to shotgun, which wasnt even loaded.
Whyd it switch guns when I pressed the shoot button
satisfactory is getting its 1.0 soon
the quantum break is about alternative timelines folks you heard it from sam lake https://x.com/SamLakeRMD/status/1829409645112246714
I wanted to make Quantum Break novelization special. The game is about alternate timelines, the novel should be as well. @Cam_Rogers is brilliant and was in our writing team coming up with the game story. He knew everything we had to cut along the way. He was perfect for this ๐ฅ
Staring famed dramatic actor: TV's Scott Bakula.
I liked quantum break, not many people enjoyed the long cutscenes tho
You cant look directly up in fortnite. That's why the jetpack is so op
People just hover over your head and its literally impossible to hit them. Solos suck for that
You can it's just offset to the right
Well, Windows 11 just gave me a bit of a rude surprise.
Apparently, the Desktop folder is now part of the OneDrive app and therefore, anything kept on the desktop gets automatically synced across all your devices.
Yes, it remains private unless you share it.
BUT, one of the important photos got inserted into the Photos widget in the widget menu, alongside all the news I was reading.
I was startled to see that medical photo there.
Solution: Make sure you don't put any folders on the Desktop.
do you consider your naked pics medical?
yea, you certainly need to see a doctor after seeing them
please tell me you can still uninstall onedrive
windows already had a system for roaming/local data associated with your microsoft account
Once again I land somewhere far away. Seen no others around me with the visual indication, yet as soon as I land, someone is behind me and I'm already dead. I dont understand how people just appear
Game is broken
you misspelled "I suck at the game"
How can i suck when I'm the 4 highest rank in the game, close to 3rd highest
isn't it strange that the game is only broken when it's against you
The visual indicators they have dont work like they're supposed to.
Hows that my fault?
do you play with headset?
positional sound is pretty key in at least COD
if someone is moving behind you, and not on the minimap, well that leaves sound right?
idk how spawns in fortnight work though, but i prefer game modes with either fixed spawn locations, or obvious aerial drop ins
or you know, no respawns at all
in which case, it must be that they were moving to reach that location, and hence should have been audible
