I don't get this ChooChoo charles
makes no sense and feels bad
people play this and give like for the meme?
Apparently, they like the atmosphere.
And murdering a zombie and then running to your train is kind of fun, they say.
Like GG Allin
Looks broken
Probably how the tracks are supposed to be.
The premise is that it's a rundown, broken, dilapidated place.
min, hight without light on high and high
Also, zombies.
No like the lighting looks fucked
🤷♂️ I don't think the creators cared about perfection. 😄
This is the age of AAAAA games.
Why not
Just make passable shit and make money from them.
Like that AI slop game
'cuz why not? 😄

Getting people to just buy your stuff does. So....

Heh.
This reminds me of an older game.

Or just a roguelike
I don't think so... but not sure.
The character movement style is almost the same though.
Static sprite hopping around.
At least for your first few bucks, yes.
Just put 2d models moving around to appear 3d
After you are rich enough, go nuts on whatever standard you want to set.
the AI looks decent in this game tbh
Codex Mortis?
the game epic is giving for free is nice
or the yesterday one
yep
The bullet-hell experience itself, not so much.
But the design, the characters, the movement very nice.
they are giving some hentai one today
Till next time.
take care sir

You know, there's something I still don't understand when it comes to your first paycheck
I just can't grasp how it works
You're not in payroll yet, and depending on when you're hired and start working, you miss a like a day or two, sometimes most the week. So the first pay is always way lower than expected
Understand that. But whys it take a week or two for the first pay, then weekly for the rest. That's the part I don't get
I'm just glad it isn't biweekly. Which would give the first pay a 3 week buffer for some reason
You would be surprised how many poeple take jobs then just disappear in their first few days, Id imagine thats part of the delay just making sure people are going to stick around before they go through the effort of putting them in the system
Those people are drug addicts
They go in, work a few hours collect that few but if bucks and buy drugs. Then start right back to selling and smoking them
I know a few
Can't wait to start
Genki books, PC, garden, pencils and pens and smoooooth writing paper
All the anime figurines
I reckon a car too. But that's low priority
Better to ignore the car and save up for things I want, and for college past my GED
Smooth paper is a blessing
Japanese paper
No more jagged lines due to cheap paper not taking pencil lead efficiently
I can tell you one thing I won't miss
And that's that kid running around screaming about brain rot and saying 67
woohoo Epic totally innovating the space with..... Text Chat
try 3
I feel like kids shouldnt be listening to drill 😛

@median wraith did you hear. I moved back to my hometown. Aunt doesn't like me learning Japanese, says I'll get no use for it. Says I'll be better off learning Spanish due to all the Mexicans and other Hispanics in the area
Thinks Japanese is Chinese and stuff
Technically not wrong, but not right either
I've worked with plenty of people who have worked a week and then just quit right after.
Because they got their pay check to afford their booze, drugs or what ever vice they had at the time.
Either that or they only had to pay off 1 person they owed money to 😂
I'd never do that
That shit stays on your work record
Makes it harder to get a future job

At least in most cases
Unless you require certs or schooling and don't have it ofc.
Good morning! 🌞 ☕
Running Path of Exile 2, and planning to play Moonlighter 2 and maybe Whiskerwood a bit.
Right now, though, BREAKFAST! Two samosas and one garlic bread.
Mmm

Some 3d model inspirations
A gun knuckle-duster is probably not a bad idea.
Yeah
Put me in a world where furries aren't just humans in a costume and I'd definitely be racist to them
Saw an AI video bring one to life and it's fuckin creepy and scary. Not very fuckable or attractive
100% racist to anthropomorphic animals
It's deserved
Too creepy
It should
There's a reason why they cartoonize the anthropomorphic animals and keep it that way
Realism truly is scary
I'm going to have nightmares about it
you need the furrys on that wall
did you order the code red?
your goddamn right I did
I mean the first one isn't scary, smash, no hesitation there.
The second. Maybe it's the cartoonize eyes with realism for everything else that makes it gut churning
why is it a blonde
Tbh, I don't mind for sure the furry stuff, but the sexualization of animals is kinda far removed from my kinks.
@fleet tangle If the article I read is right, Epic will be giving Alone in the Dark free later. OG horror game.
Original.
I played both games in the 90s.

If I am right, this Alone in the Dark version is the one remade in UE or something.

tl;dr: vending machine run on claude was convinced that the company changed to socialism and started giving stuff for free
and it used it's budget to buy a living fish and a playstation
So is there a proper list of leaked games that epic will give?
Wtf man
yep
google december free games
damn, tropico 5 would be cool
Yes, there was one list posted few days ago, somewhere.
Format PC, install win11, run Edge
that was fake
because they ain't giving the ones listed lol
It's fortnite
the BBC just did a hit piece on AI based on a presumptuous and incomplete study from MIT. They posted this.
Now colour me wrong, but isn't that the point? We literally waste billions of man hours with manual searching for answers, and often cannot answer them. Like the protein folding, or other medical advances that came from AI or mass computational power.
When AI makes answers too difficult to find, that is the issue as it was for years with bad LLMs. At least we are getting close to something decent now.
yeah unless you have a fundamental knowledge of what you ask the LLM, often it will give you the wrong answers. I think of it as a reflection of input. So when I want GPT to write me a C++ function I extrapolate every detail of what I need, sometimes in what order, sometimes leaving holes in the prompt for the LLM to fill in.
So I guess an LLM is really only as good as the person inputting the prompt.
you would have to explain what PMC and RMC means sorry 😄
proc mesh comp
it tells me no it has no callback, but you can poll for collision validity and fire an event dispatcher then
@zinc matrix @fathom wadi Do either of you have the ability to help me kill a double-boss with a 'deadly boss' tag in a level 11 map? It's the VAAL priest sisters. I'm level 79. 2 attempts left.
I've not been well for the past week so I'm still levelling. Otherwise I would one shot it for you because that's how I roll.
Top tip though, take the ice one first. It's easier to dodge the fire one and you don't want to get frozen. It's a bit of a movement check that fight.
They are not ice and fire.
These are the buffed bosses in the deadly boss map.
Full corrupt-bleed something something.
WITH blood banners.
oh I thought you meant the fire and ice witches stuck in eternal battle (until you engage at least)
yeah im nowhere near there yet. I have two characters but they are both at Doriyani
Oh.
I am at level 11 maps now.
I think I'll abandon this boss-duo, then and go have dinner. 😄
Almost to level 80, but that can wait.
I'd be done with the league by now but when I get sick I can't face the heat blasting from my GPU and the seizure inducing effects

I'm feeling a bit better now, but it's swings and roundabouts with me. Christmas is not a good time for me when I'm unemployed. I self-destruct in my mind.
Thank you.
I'll have my character online by tomorrow for end game so I'll be able to help out. Just as long as I can keep my characters dps up.
hate being behind in a new league in POE1 but it doesn't feel as bad in POE2
that in UE or custom engine?
Shaman. Full wolf, fast attacking things with 15-30k normal attack. 😄
hah. Quinn gets through that yet Redfall released with the worst navmesh in history. Indie wins again
So far, haven't had a problem with any boss, except those two bloody, powered-up, DEADLY sisters.
To be fair, the game DID tell me they would be DEADLY.
It just forgot to mention that there were TWO of them.
At least, in that situation, I'd have appreciated TWO life flasks, or a whole bunch of life omens in my inventory.
Tbh nav is such a pita, not to mention ue uses some old, patched version.
it's a melee problem that's been occurring since melee tbh. The game isn't designed for melee. They tried to make it work, and it kind of does, but with the danger of bosses and juiced mobs in this game it's hard not to get owned unless you blast them into stuns, freezes or one-shot them
Problem is, the two DEADLY versions of these sisters are immune to freeze.
AND they corrupt, so you lose life almost constantly.
If not for the corrupt, I can handle them easily.
Or I just need to stock up on LOTS of omens.
I don't really do much with that kind of stuff as level design is another guys speciality, but from what I know about navmesh it has the tools to do what you need if you do it right. Redfall was absolutely bin-end broken default navmesh tho. I think they just slapped it on. It was funny but sad at the same time.
Brr, it's 14C and cold.
My fingers are cold.
Everything else is fine.
But, my fingers....
You can adjust the angles of nav triangles
immune to freeze if you built freeze is probably the issue rather than corrupted blood. There is usually a window where they can use that kind of thing, so it's not constant, and if you know the tell you can avoid it or rely on charms to negate it.
You can't avoid it.
'Cuz there are two of them and both are tanky as heck.
Omens would help. But, I didn't know I needed them for this fight, since I never expected THIS kind of fight. 😄
If it was just one dude, it'd be okay.
You will have troubles with long range navigation.
2-on-1 is bleh.
it looked like it would be a fun game. But to release it in such a broken state killed it. that and the intern level navmesh which meant you could jam mobs against objects so they can't hit you.
I remember one clip of a guy getting chased, so he stood next to a car, and the mob didn't know how to avoid it.
Redfall? Failed hard.
Installed it, loaded it, saw it was MP only, uninstalled it.
Read a review the next day about how bad it was.
I don't know if they ever updated it to be SP.
🤷♂️
I always avoid reviews when I play a game. I read them when I quit to see if I was justified
Makes no difference to me.
I'll play a game if it's fun. AND IF IT HAS single-player.
Millions of people play Call of Duty, but if reviews meant anything and someone read mine, they would hate the game.
God only knows what those devs were thinking making it MP only.
yeah they wanted it to be a live service thing didn't they?
Oh yeah, I remember now, it didn't have bots.
As in, you couldn't even spin up a game with AI NPCs.
No clue what the devs ultimately wanted. I ditched it in 2 minutes, flat.
Time for pre-sleep coffee.
Vanilla!
Not sure MASS is ready yet anyway. I've seen an alternative that uses it but extends it's functionality outside of what Epic are doing.
That being said, you code GL stuff, and even if you don't feel confident about it you can handle anything
Plus look what you made there. That's no joke.
FLECS is the alternative
for MASS
Checkout the death stranding system. For voxels, there are probably and something else, specific.
is there even information on that seeing as it's a custom engine ?
@trail ore You're not the only one with navmesh problems. GGG has left us a plethora of those in PoE 2.
Whole bunch of collision and clogging issues in late-game.
You are in AAA league, my friend.
they added too much collision for sure. Getting stuck on a pebble is not good design. I get why they did it, as they want a more reactive feel to movement in the game, but it's an ARPG and we like zoom-zoom characters.
nothing worse than risking using the sprint button only to get stuck on a branch
Got stuck in between a barrel and a wagon; would've been nice to get stuck IN the wagon instead.
Couldn't hit two rare monsters because they were too big and clipped the terrain somewhere, causing the attacks to miss.
I had to actually disengage and wait for them to come to me elsewhere.
Fun stuff.
fallen logs are my nemesis. You don't notice them really when playing until you cant walk over them
collision channel on the water, and when he starts overlap he pulls his foot out and shakes the water out of his shoe
We have learned over the decades that them white folk aren't as good as immigrants.
Try getting a Qui Zhun instead of a Quinn. That might help.
I'm an immigrant. I used to live in my dad's nutsack but one drunken night I moved to my mother's womb before settling on England.
I bet the sack's welfare terms were nutty.
i remember it being really cramped in there
There were some dev videos. I think stuff from custom engines can be done too in UE.
for sure you can do anything with UE as long as you know how to make it work with the other systems. I've had 25 years old native C code work with UE4
I recall doing some custom recast for my rivers. I think, I have talked about this here even I think... few years ago. Basically, you just up the cost, maybe do some custom casting.
They do some long range highways casting, pretty interesting. It is walking sim anyway.
Custom export? For what?
You bet, lol. The octree is good, but not so. Frankly, it was way too bloated imo.
Level 80!
I have forgotten the details, but for sure I looked at that and found it not suitable. However, it might work for you. I'm not sure whether that geometry was just not an aabb modifier at the end 🤔

I was levelling with my guild mates and they are offline so I went to go level on my poisonburst pathfinder and got absolutelywrecked in Utzual lol
an unlikely story... who has mates these days 😛
These are not my mates.
They are my wolves!
My warriors of Wolfhalla!
They eat roos for wolffast!
That is a sad, sad story.
Cruel white bushmen killed the aboriginal druids.
The shapeshifting lore of the wolf clan was lost down under.
That's how Australia came to be known as 'down under'.
The fall of the druids.
🙁
when was the last time a wolf took someones baby?
Not since wolves got health insurance in 754 BC.
I think GGG definitely vibe coded some of this end-game stuff.
I just met the first ever INVISIBLE enemy with no name and HP bar in Poe 2.
Yet, I had to flail wildly until it finally died.

hmm is developer assistant for UEFN broken?
oh now it seems to work, wonder why it spazzed for a sec
I fed it some doritos and mountain dew, we all good
Disney... when are you doing special edition of the second trilogy huh
we also need Epic to remaster Enter the Matrix right 😛
Frontiers of Pandora? I played abit but as usual I gotta grind past the boring intro
yeah the graphics are pretty impressive, I want to play more but the onboarding is just so tedious. Ive only been playing since I was like 5 lol
Im in the starter area and its starting to expand abit but Im assuming once im out of there it opens right up
I went to Assassins Creed: Syndicate from there and that was much better onboarding and opened up much quicker
There should be an accessibility setting for people over 40 but under 60 where they turn off all the yellow paint and onboarding 😛
I get bored of the initial unlocks too, every time I have to start from nothing and build up like I want to build an empire in every game I play
they should save that sort of thing for new game plus players, some of us just want to play the game and leave lol
oh we see you've played every Farcry game made to date, every Watchdog and most Assassins Creeds... let us pray oohmmm somanytutorialsandslowintroooo.... aaaaagaaaain
worst one is when they have popups which stop gameplay just to tell you something
best way to handle that sort of thing is a codex people can read later, have it pop up but entirely optional to read
its just so immersion breaking especially in those first bits of the game, Half-life didnt have anything it was just a huge train ride even System Shock 2 didnt have massive onboard and those games are brilliant
its like having clippy pop up reminding you youre playing a game every 30s
there are games where that sort of thing works, like city builders its not so immersion breaking because it could be an advisor type deal or 4X
I just wanna hit that immersive flow state as quick as possible even if I have to completely suck until it clicks 😛
yeah I know what youre saying, those diegetic UIs can be awesome but they have their limits. In Vermintide 2 the lobby area has all the different tools you can use but they have a traditional 2D UI behind each one so you dont have to walk around and physically use each one if you dont want
I feel like Sons of the Forest didnt quite know what type of game it wanted to be, the first one definitely leans more into the survival aspects and that sort of slower discovery makes sense. In the second one the pacing just feels abit whack but it could be because I spent so much time in the first game
@fierce arch Please accept my friend request for your job posting. I can not PM you.
I felt like I didnt need to build anything at all, I coulda just ran from vault to vault collecting stuff and sleeping in those
the first one was a proper slog, oh what you mean I need a pouch for berries or water
I just enjoyed the base building and waves of attacks more than I did the caves
yeah they did do some interesting things with the build system so you could make more complex structures but they slowed it down by using more logs and trees had less logs. Not sure if they finally added a log sled
Used Nascar to show my aunt the Doppler effect
Shes watching big bang theory cus she liked Georgie and Mandy, and young Sheldon. Saw the episode where Sheldon dressed like the Doppler effect and didn't know what it was

@zinc matrix 52k normal attack damage! 😄
Just cleaning up in style.
There's a lot going on. 😄
On another note, I took 3 shrines's buffs and at max power, my normal attack went up to 120k. 😄
Boss dead in 3 seconds. 💀
Abyss is just as deadly as it was last league with those crazy, fat, nurgle bosses, sometimes spawning in triplets because you are in a confined map space. 😄
I am on Waystone 12 now.
The bugs are really starting to show.
Map server crashing, instances not loading 3-5 times, sometimes the skills don't fire (could be character specific), idiotically overlapping monster auras (which could be causing problems with the skills not firing), weird slowdowns, collision problems with large monsters, etc. etc.
This makes sense, because I killed around 14 rares in my last map, and avoided the third one I met simply because he had this weird bleed thing on his weapon.
I am thinking of just anointing one of my amulets with bleed immunity. 😄
There's also this one weird, probably druid specific (maybe leap slam too) bug in Forest biome map.
In a certain place, where you are surrounded by stumps and logs, your jumping/pouncing skills REFUSE to fire.
🙁
That's a good point. I'll check the marketplace later.
I have okay jewels, nothing great. Should check.
By the way, since you've reached 99 before, what monster level maps do you get at waystone 15?
No, I am talking about monster levels, not the waystone's level.
I checked online, waystone 16 is level 80. 15, 79.
So, even with buffs, probably level 83 at way 16. Levelling will be slowwwwwww....
Yeah, but that won't give much exp past 88.
No wonder levelling is a pain towards 99.
Sorry We're Closed is the new free game on EGS @median wraith. Also, another shooter.
Hmm. I guess I'll just spam run blank waystones, then, from Doryani.
I don't want to die and lose 10% after 90. 😄
I like that I feel I can take my character to the 90s, this league.
Especially a fast attacker.
Armour to elemental damage resistance is a great addition.
I'm exhausted of shooters

well this is my city
yeah is all the world
not that bad
I think the worst its the near water area
the game represents all like ground
I think there's very little activity near or in the water anyway.
But, I am not sure.
Did you restore any cars yet?

what are you doing
there you go again

I had to leave my PSP on, with the game paused to continue
Can't tell you how many times Ive played the beginning of crash bandicoot mind over mutant
woohoo voxel king of the monsters
which game we talking here?
when you're in that AI mindset but the internet is playing tricks on you
Christmas time is a horrible fucking time to get a job
I'm just realizing that. Gonna get lots of days off because of Christmas
Well a day and a half. Plus actual days off. That's only 2 days of work worth of pay for when I get my paycheck 
Fuck it. Use that to open a savings account and start offloading $120 into it every pay for the next several years
Is that a Hevedy-specific error, or is the game borked?
Finished cleaning my house with my Bissell 2-in-1 vaccum. Public advisory: A power vaccum CAN and WILL eat your phone cable. 😄
fokin win11, can't remember which app opens what files... like, are only 5 ppl working on it?
bought bendy's ink machine today from steam winter sale
how long is that game?
Only 2 skulls? Pfffft! 😄
bye bye firefox! What a shitty way to end a beautiful relationship :/
I reached wave 32 on max skulls so far.
Now, I am just playing for pew pew maximus.
Al Fox is a nice guy.
Don't be foxcist.
It's so early 
yeah opened up a youtube video and it said something about yay im a new firefox lemme ai that shit for you and sorry you cant turn me off.
ahaha
tbh, ai summarization of youtube is one of the most useful stuff it can do
@median wraith https://store.steampowered.com/app/3338950/The_Scouring/
You wanted an RTS, here's a tough one.
Warning, not a chill game.
Keep moving, keep killing, keep raising bigger armies. 😄
that man is on a mission to play every game on steam....
I wish it would summarize the whole life and universe, so I dont have to live anymore and experience stuff my self.
meanwhile it's just a remote desktop for Windus
loool
noope
dammin will need to finish the game as there is no on alike

@summer cedar ended playing on a fixed zone of brasil
NICE!
Murder the zombies!
They must pay for their undeadly zealous, barbaric tendencies.
good thing I defined an exteded area
turns out by the ending you need a lot of space
broke two builds there to make the wall
Fort Hox!
I never understood why we didn't just Mad Max the zombies in every zombie show and game.
Attach lawn mower-type blade rollers to cars and just shred them.
this dudes expeditions is something I don't get
every time they loss the fooking car
Well, it's to be expected.
How many zombie shows involve expeditions coming back home with cars, lots of gas, and tons of guns?
man they always run for my cars in the zone
and never reach the car
this dudes on expedition must be the most idiots
pretty much. In the Zombie Age, no one has time for war school.
yeah I did investigate it
Gotta be like Russian recruits - 8 days of training and off you go.
as should be
tbh, I don't want to experience the long ramblings and filler content of youtube.
Ohegevquis
Wish me luck fuckers
Being surrounded by strangers all day for the rest of my life
For money

thats not so bad
Yes it is
To me
But the GM seems really chill
Says I'll be held to higher standards than everyone else, since he's training me
And wants me to be confrontational to the others when it comes to doing stuff the right way

Also I haven't even asked about smoking my tobacco pipe in the back on breaks so I'm not even bringing it. So I'll be nicotine starved all day
Almost there, just call flood(); with other arguments.

Star Trek: Voyager
Movie scenes on Epic quality are a bit of a stutter fest, 20 FPS. Actual game stuff is a solid 60-68 FPS.
Nice 3D stellar map.
You stay in the bunk beds we provide, Starfleet or otherwise.
This game is like Starcom Nexus. I haven't got to any combat YET, but the ship management is like This War is Mine and the questing and scanning is akin to Starcom.

Hi
How long ago was this
But how long ago did he actually die
Oh I see
@pearl elk they made me fill out my own i-9 and w-4 and stuff
Jobs used to do that for you
What the fuck happened
Now I'm stressed the IRS is gonna show up and put me in jail
What the hell... there goes the good AAA shooters
@summer cedar I fooked the game
its doing nothing and cannot pass the missions lol
cars stuck over and over of the dead ones or something xd
When does it end 😮
real no fake
Me
Except I'm one of the kids
And the government is the dragon
Lost a game devolper legend
Mentioning Apex legends is just doing him dirty
He's gone to Level 2. rip
Isekai'd into what though.
The Odyssey - In Theaters 07.17.26
Christopher Nolan’s next film, The Odyssey, is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX® film technology. The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to IMAX® film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026.
The Odyssey stars Matt Damon, Tom Hollan...
Ugh
just found the Epic launcher takes 6GB of VRAm
Naturally
That's just having it launched? No open scenes or anything?
Also, aren't you like a professional artist of some kind. Why you only got a 8GB GPU
Infinite loading at first
Because the top GPUs prior to the last gen came max with that
Oh lord
Most of the players don't have that so makes a good point to optimize the games
Optimizing as much as possible is a fundamental, no?
Should be something to have in mind from start, but is difficult and depends of the client you have
In other hand I don't see normal to the launcher to be using 6GB of VRAM
Will surprise me even if uses 1GB
I'm gonna get some Arduino kits to learn c++
Doing it via YouTube lessons and stuff is boring as fuck
I learned python by discord bot stuff
See no difference in using Arduino to learn c++

I'll have sex with my future computer to get a deeper feel of its ins and outs
Wait a minute, what sanity 
Cheaper to just get the PC and learn unreal, then use that to learn c++
But then I wouldn't have a robotic arm to get my pecker stuck in like Howard did from Big bang theory
Well I only need to know it good enough for game development anyways
If I'm not careful I'll accidentally not want to be a game dev and become a engineer instead
Very scary thought
What games do u work on, so I can apply and use AI generated assets without ur knowledge so ppl like you can get mad and put u outta business for nothing lol
Implying u can "develop" without engineering
While u do that I'll learn only the required c++ for ue6 and verse
P.S. copilot generates code for me and everyone on my team, as well as every corporate team as well.
Gonna take even more when the AI tool grows up and becomes useful
vRAM is required for thag stuff just as much, or more so than even normal ram. Even tho everyone is crying about ram prices these days 
Right
copilot is so bad with unreal engine tho
Stop talking to the reason ram is expensive
Im just making the most out of my DDR5
Good morning! 🌞 ☕
morning
most people using c++ in any ide use copilot and has for years to automate simple tasks.
attributes this to unreal engine 5, except copilot has been around since 2021, while ue5 was released in 2022
believes I use copilot or even program c++ in unreal engine, when stuff like visual studio exists
Anyways, please continue crying about how hard it is to implement multiplayer with 0 code knowledge whatsoever.
You are a zombie arsonist, and you dont even know it yet
My at home research lab just up ended an entire sector, bro
If you use copilot you suck . You really suck. Because copilot sucks. You know how I know? I've been programming for 25 years. I compered copilot and gpt because it's my job to understand the best tools for the job. So you saying you have a team, and you all use copilot to write code just lets me know you are a complete noob with no brain whatsoever. So enjoy licking the window kid.
This was a respectable burn, seeing as how AI has become indistinguishable
no. no you are not. You act like a 12 year old.
Ahh man. I just.
Im joking ok.
Have a nice night.
Did you also read that Tylenol gives autism?
Here is an oldie but a goldie.
Silence is golden /sings
Yk what else tho
Flouride can appear naturally in water ways.
Because it is a stone
And not in an industrial, medicinal amount.
Not with that attitude
Youre arguing with a future doctor, m'lord.
Right..
I eat hydrofluorocycilic acid for breakfast. My brain is fine. /burps in imaginary

I dont really care what some random weirdo on discord thinks lol
Particularly not a political one. [Lol]

me too. it was last week when I giggled after walking into the living room and farting before running away
I followed through, it was a shit and run.
Sometimes you just have to eat your meat to enjoy the pudding.
Yo! 👋
Whazzup?
Just got off work about to total some war you?
Getting ready to work.
Did you see that Secret Level WH40k episode?
Yee
New World one was good to
That combat was SOMETHING, eh?
Even though the game sucked
Finally, they animated combat the way I've always wanted.
I'm kinda curious to see a studio do a turn based combat animation style.
That's not a youtube indie team
Didn't they already?
Nothing mainstream really
That WH40k turn-based thing wasn't AAA?
Like no big studios are throwing budget at it to make it look amazing
No like
Turn based movie
Smh
Mum, I am going to make popcorn. See you on turn 200.
If they got the guy that made Mad God Phil Tippett would be sick
This is still one of my favourite shows, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15090124/
I am looking forward to that Total War WH40k game you pointed me towards.
Any idea when it's coming out?
All I want is 10,000 vs 10,000 war.
Well maybe not 10k vs 10k quite but pretty close
Close isn't good enough.
We must have AI gen, Fake frame gen, super DLSS supported 20k wars.
at 144 FPS to boot.
I don't think any Total war games have upscaling
It kinda is bad for strategy games no?
Too much to upscale
The name 'strategy' is wrong for that genre, tbh.
It should be called boom-fests.
Or gore-fests, as appropriate to the nature of the carnage.
Maybe the free camera is also a problem.
It can go from WAY too little to cull all the way to WAY too much.
It's so that they can get away with a lower rating when they submit apparently.
Then they make the DLC have a rated R rating
😄
I say they should just put everything in options.
Why we don't have games with 500 toggles, is beyond me.
Yo
Give me my gore and explosions galore and put an option to turn it all off.
Make more games with endless options
I want to have a headache looking at the menu
Devs always tell me, "Toggles are not the answer."
I always say, "YES, they are! Your customers will be happy."
Right. Why can't I hijack cars in my underwear, when trousers on or off could be a toggle?
Even better, why can't I read a criminal their Miranda rights in Hawaiian beach wear?
Gimme a toggle, dammit.
Games without toggles are so sadge
Not useful options, but still.... LOTS of them.
Heck there's even games that you can play now that you unlock toggles
As you go
They call them (cheats)
But hey
That too.
Lumen, RTX, walls, floors, ceilings, put everything on toggles.
To activate
Who are you to tell me I can't play without floors?
or typing a phrase into chats
I am a levitating farmer peasant, dammit!
Like old blizzard games

Yes, my best friend is a cheater, I suspect.
Lemme buy 10 layers of protection against him. 😄

Sometimes I don't want to click the same thing 10,000 times
I want to setup a macro
Sue me
I value my wrists
🤔 How do I know your macro isn't opening and closing my fridge door repeatedly, thus harming the environment and making Greta angry?
Because I didn't bring my O.M.G. cable
That's a terrible cable.
Lel
I swear by W.T.F. MI.
Speaking of wtf, did you see the general who died by bomb in Moscow?
No just the call of duty guy
@summer cedar hows your poe 2 char coming along?
I reached level 83.
I just hit 81 but I had last week off. Running a meteor bear with slam and rampage. It's decent but I'm nowhere with gear yet.
yeah no joke
to be fair dropping a raw divine isn't as good as dropping a good item.
Path of Exile is THE most complicated game, right now, I think.
this is the simple version too
No other game, in my experience, comes anywhere close.
And somehow, they get all of it to work without being overbearing on the player.
yeah it's always got something new to learn
But that wasn't always the case, though. There were some leagues in PoE 1, where people went, "This is WAYYY too much." GGG learnt from all that.
13 years of content had a lot of people passing through. The later years was not friendly to new players who weren't ready to put a thousand hours in. POE2 is like the grand reset. It had more players than POE 1 ever had because of that. An easy stepping on point
I remember when Syndicates were introduced. That bloody cartel window was a PITA.
yeah even now you have to do it in a specific way to get the decent profit. Making friends and enemies, blocking syndicate houses and grinding one. They nerfed it though because everyone was running pure div card safehouses.
Have you sussed out the vaal temple incursions yet?
I have ALMOST reached the Architect.
BUT, I keep putting the new Vaal temples off, because I forget about them after completing the map.
😊
there is a method to keep your path active so you can retry architect and atziri easily. Because as it stands if you just go full random on it then you get one shot and if you fail it deletes half your temple. I don't like that. It's unkind to player time. But if you use the fixed path method you can save loads of time
had a couple of div of items in there today. The vaal crafting items go for nice currency
I managed to get a near 500 DPS talisman, so far.
Lucky me.

``` this is mine since level 50ish. It's carried me tbh but these things go up to over 800dps if you have 400 divines 😄
Oh yeah, prefect rolls are uber.
But, getting them there is a project.
I mean this one is crap. I think I paid 7ex for it. But it's good enough to do upto t10s
I'll craft one at some point. But I need some currency
I bet the druids will get nerfed soon.
At least the wolf form. I haven't played bear/dragon yet.
GGG standard tactic - NERF!!!!
honestly they ain't that overpowered. They are powered enough. If you want to talk overpowered, the Sorc Djinn builds and Ranger's poison pathfinder are absolutely in need of nerfs
They'll nerf it all.
They even nerfed my rapid fire skill. 🥹
What did my machine gun bolter fantasy ever do to them?!!!!!!
🤣
everything always gets shuffled around. If it's too good one league they will nerf it. Then a few leagues later it will come back. The meta has always been rotated.
Although to be fair, I did find equips to let me spam arrows as a ranger, so.....
The ranger was my only class I played in POE1 for about 5 years. But they nerfed it after Tornado shot was the most used meta for about 5 leagues. So that's when I switched.
I have a 41 ranger in this poe2 league but I'm just trying to get my druid built first. It's new so its interesting me
Bolter Mercenary and Wolfie Druid are the two fastest classes I've played in PoE 2.
GGG probably nerfed rapid fire because of me.
Epic signed a 10-year UE deal with Nexon Korea.
if you want speed, try a flicker strike build or a pathfinder. Path gets no penalty for movement speed whilst attacking and 200% inc MS. Flicker is basically epilepsy in a skill
king of the mists down.
btw, if you want to see what a juiced up, room locked temple looks like (which you should be trying to go for to optimise it) it looks like this.
If I remember to actually play them.
they gonna try that hybrid approach again eh. Well, Creation engine has some good things. Well, two good things. It's got LUA and good modding capability. Not sure it needs the rendering side of things because they do ok on that. They could use better characters but they did get a little bit better in Starfield. Personally, I think they should just ditch the entire CE2 and go with Unreal. But I'm biased.
That's probably what they will do and call it Real Engine 3.
They should call it "clone the same RPG and resell it on 10 platforms because skyrim engine".
What could be an issue is Elder Scrolls 6 is like deep into development. So maybe they took a look at it and thought it looked a bit crap and want Unreal Engine to bandage the holes. Pretty sure the gameplay will be ok, because they clone tried and tested methods. But if they are struggling with CE2 (or building CE3) then it doesn't bode well for Elder Scrolls fans.
I bet if they make it like Oblivion, people will just love it.
Todd made a killing off that remaster.
I wouldn't. that game annoyed me 😄 I find no interest in RPGs that auto-scale mobs. I don't want to spend 40-50 hours getting buff, only to visit the intro area and get slapped by a flea that had 10hp first time around and suddely is a tank.
He made something like $480 million?
Yeah, if so, he most certainly would. 😄
Ah, no. $105 million gross.
3rd best-selling game in 2025.
9 million players worldwide.
Geez. Remasters for the win, God Todd. 😄
yeah but 2025 has been pretty bad for triple A gaming to be fair. I mean, they had to re-release old games. And they couldn't even get the Fallout 4 remaster right
🤔 Interestingly, the Game Pass players outnumbered everyone else apparently.
This would explain why so many good games are released on Game Pass.
yeah that sucked too. putting the price up to the price of an internet provider's service isn't a great look
£10-15 I can live with.
Sweet Jesus! Fallout 4 has made $1.5 BILLION dollars across all platforms in its lifetime.
I have to buy 3 game pass subs though.
But can't you save up your microsoft rewards points for a free month?
I worked with someone who used to basically get game pass for free
I dunno I never spend them
Apr to September 2024, Fallout 4 made $40 million because of the TV show.
I mean... Todd is blessed. 😄
That's the best thing Bethesda did, make that show. I was dubious until I watched it but it was great
--- Reception: Early reviews for the Anniversary Edition have been mixed to negative, with critics and players citing technical issues, broken mods, and the fact that many inclusions were already available for free or through previous versions. ---
Yeah, but you still bought it, you crazy gamers you!
Season 2 out no?
Welp
Honestly, those chips were the most real-worldly thing in Fallout 4 so far, in my opinion.
You could LITERALLY do that now.
The whole brain chip tech, yes.
Including Neuramusk.
Not difficult to put bombs in there.
Whether it'd blow your head clean off, is another question.

Smart Poly made UE tournament in UE 5.7.
Thats unusual as it was delisted from the launcher. So those assets are all old, and I wonder if they remade the systems, because I'm pretty sure none of them would work unless you did
I hope they cease and desist him 😄 Then release the ACTUAL FRIGGIN GAME FFS
Should @ him and tell him that
I was hoping that when Lyra released that we would see a new UT game. It's pretty much a framework for a UT game but better.
It's the assets from the UE 4 project.
