[bitter prawn]

Started on the 5th

[spiral linden]

ahh

[bitter prawn]

That's the day it hit its peak

[spiral linden]

do you know what this game reminds me of

a lot

gears of war

but better

[bitter prawn]

That game also is peak testosterone, makes sense

Although I'd argue that space Marines make the characters of Gear of War look feminine

[spiral linden]

debatable

I do believe that gears of war characters deal with the enemies more cqc

they look strongee

imo

[bitter prawn]

Chainsaw sword

[spiral linden]

gears of war inspired

[bitter prawn]

Warhammer is twice the age of gears so idk

[spiral linden]

oh fr

they do borrow some ideas

it's all chill

both good games

[bitter prawn]

Not to mention most weapons used by space Marines in games are fairly close-ranged

Short lengths, colossal bores, slow moving rounds

[spiral linden]

and doom

[bitter prawn]

And space marine 2 has a fairly in-depth melee system, more than I expected

[spiral linden]

I haven't seen a game like Warhammer 40k in a long time

[bitter prawn]

It started out as a tabletop

[spiral linden]

it's as if it's doom + gears of war hybrid, but 10000000x better

[bitter prawn]

Also funny size comparison

[spiral linden]

way too tall lol

big boys

[bitter prawn]

In armor they weigh more than a Ford focus lmao

[spiral linden]

who had their vegetable

[spiral linden]

💀

how do they move realistically

Eddie Hall?

[bitter prawn]

Power armor

[bitter prawn]

Funny you mention movement

[spiral linden]

is Warhammer a slow paced game?

[bitter prawn]

Because the franchise started out as a tabletop, all the creatures were initially modeled as figurines with no thought as to how they would actually move

[spiral linden]

or a fast paced move n shoot

[bitter prawn]

So the devs had to put in a lot of work just to get the Marines to move in a believable manner

[spiral linden]

ohhhh

so much lore lmao

[bitter prawn]

Tends to happen when a franchise is 35 years old and is still this popular

And still having games, books and shows taking place in it's very very fleshed out universe

[bitter prawn]

Not sloww

I've never played gears but I've seen gameplay and it looks pretty similar in pace

[spiral linden]

yeah

I saw Warhammer gameplay

similar to gears of war

[bitter prawn]

It's very obvious that space Marines are born-and-bred super soldiers in more than just their size and biology (higher muscle mass per kilogram, 3 lungs, 2 hearts, among others)

[spiral linden]

WHAT

2, HEARTS

3, LUNGS

[bitter prawn]

In game they are shockingly agile, probably just for gameplay but it's not unbelievably so

[bitter prawn]

Indeed

[spiral linden]

premium air

[bitter prawn]

I mean to be fair

Look how big they are

[spiral linden]

Eddie Hall fit

[bitter prawn]

They can also live hundreds of years

The character you play as in SM2 is over 200

The Warhammer universe is just metal as fuck lmfao

[wispy narwhal]

they ain't got shit on an octopus

[spiral linden]

I wanna be a space marine

[bitter prawn]

Are you sure about that

Becoming a space marine usually means losing most of what makes human life human

In most cases

Pretty much every space marine chapter views human life as little more than statistics and are pretty much always at war

I didn't think I could be this passionate about a universe I know next to fucking nothing about

[spiral linden]

I wanna be a space marine but without fighting

and all that stuff

only normal life

I wanna see how big they dick is

3 LUNGS

[bitter prawn]

Holy shit, there is so much material in this universe

[spiral linden]

2 HEARTS

[wispy narwhal]

helldiver moment

[spiral linden]

wbt 20 inchs?

that should be there

[bitter prawn]

Closest you can get is a salamander

They're quite literally the only chapter who gives a damn about human beings beyond the numbers

And the only one to my knowledge that lives with their families; most chapters don't allow their Marines to see their families or they wipe the memories of their families during training

And, perhaps ironically, they almost exclusively use incendiary weapons like flamethrowers

[spiral linden]

dammnnnn

L life

[bitter prawn]

There might be lore on that

[spiral linden]

used for numbers

[spiral linden]

WHAT BETTTTTT

anything below 12 is just not acceptable

[bitter prawn]

Side note: the home planet of the Salamanders is a heavily irradiated hellscape that turns their skin ash black and eyes bright red

Space Marines are immune or not endangered by most afflictions or illnesses that will kill normal humans, which makes sense given their purpose

[spiral linden]

they don't even get sick?

wbt headaches?

[bitter prawn]

Not from stuff we would

But Gods are real in 40K and most of them are unapologetically evil

They're completely immune to alcohol for the most part

Hell is also a thing, though it isn't called that and depending on your definition of hell there are multiple of them

Like I said, that universe is metal as fuck

[spiral linden]

goddamn

this

bad species that they kill

why haven't they been wiped out yet

[bitter prawn]

The Salamanders aren't even around because most of their campaigns incur heavy losses because they put civilian life above literally all other things

And predictably they have a hard time repopulating

[spiral linden]

thought they were bred

like from embryos

from labs

[bitter prawn]

Nope

They are born normal people and genetically modified

usually at a reasonable time for a person to make the decision to become one

[spiral linden]

oh

wait

what happens to the humans

the ones

who choose not to

[bitter prawn]

Nothing, I guess

They continue to live as civilians

[spiral linden]

where tho?

[bitter prawn]

Some civilians have it pretty bad though, and it's difficult to compare the lives of some to that of most people on earth

[bitter prawn]

Think of the worst living conditions you can possibly imagine

[spiral linden]

doesn't this occur?

[spiral linden]

there's no good life?

good planet

at all?

[bitter prawn]

For some there is

[spiral linden]

Gaza

[bitter prawn]

But humanity (called the imperium of man) has been at war for like 10 thousand years

[bitter prawn]

Keep going

[spiral linden]

I think I'll leave it as that

it's all

rubble

[bitter prawn]

The worst places in hive cities (actual name) have living conditions that would make people in warzones grateful, I promise

[spiral linden]

smoke

so, no

good loveable and able to live

planets

[bitter prawn]

The lowest areas in some of them have people born for the express purpose of slave labor and die at 15

[spiral linden]

a place like earth currently

[spiral linden]

dayum

[bitter prawn]

Few and far between

[spiral linden]

how do you so much lore bro

[bitter prawn]

I think the realm of ultramar might be the closest you get, it's among the safest regions in 40K and that's because of the Ultramarines, the poster boys of 40K and the most capable chapter of marines

[bitter prawn]

My knowledge of 40K is hardly a footnote

The amount of lore is unimaginable

It's the most fascinating fictional world I'm interested in

Mostly because of how nonsensically fucked up and batshit insane most of it is

[spiral linden]

is there a book about all the lore

[bitter prawn]

Not one all-encompassing book but there are dozens of novels set within it

[spiral linden]

ohhh ok

also

[bitter prawn]

And games and a few shows apparently

[spiral linden]

why is there so much of the enemy species?

[bitter prawn]

Which one

[spiral linden]

WHAT

Uhhh

I saw one

like

alien

frok aliens

the ones that look like

from

[bitter prawn]

The only two I'm familiar with are the tyranids (monster bugs) and the thousand sons, which are a heretical space marine chapter

[spiral linden]

alien isolation

[bitter prawn]

Big brown bug things?

[spiral linden]

ye

[bitter prawn]

Tyranids

[spiral linden]

oh

[bitter prawn]

Both of these are in space marine 2

You fight the tyranids most of the time

[spiral linden]

why haven't they gone

well

[bitter prawn]

They're the ones who skill check you of your melee skills

[spiral linden]

instinct

[bitter prawn]

All
The
Time

[spiral linden]

by soo much of the killing

they should die by now

[bitter prawn]

Man has been fighting like a 5-front war

The exact number of "fronts" is hard to quantify

Because sometimes the space Marines fight themselves

[spiral linden]

why?

[bitter prawn]

Differing ideologies mostly

[spiral linden]

who is the king of all of this

the leader

[bitter prawn]

That's not to say they're all distinctly good though

[spiral linden]

the one they command to

[bitter prawn]

There are loyalist chapters (the guys in Humanity's side who answer to The Emperor, the human at the top) and the heretical chapters, the guys who are not on man's side

[bitter prawn]

The Emperor, I guess

[spiral linden]

what are chapters btw

[bitter prawn]

Different factions I guess

You can differentiate them by color

[spiral linden]

35 years worth or lore hmmm?

[bitter prawn]

Ultramarines are blue, Salamanders are green, black templars are black, etc

[spiral linden]

aren't they one nation or something?

[bitter prawn]

They operate with a degree of autonomy, but the loyalist ones ultimately serve the imperium of man

40K encompasses an entire galaxy, just so we're clear on scale here

[bitter prawn]

Autonomy means they can operate on their own/make their own decisions to a certain extent

Which is usually how wars/feuds happen between loyalist chapters

Which may or may not result in a homeworld being glassed; you know, light work

[bitter prawn]

Ok I googled it, Man has 7 *clearly defined* factions of enemies

[spiral linden]

this is too much lore omg

I'm still trying to process everything

but damn

[bitter prawn]

It's a lot

It makes the world of fallout look shallow in comparison, and I've watched hundreds of hours of lore on that game franchise and there's still a lot I don't know

[spiral linden]

why bother to know it all?

[bitter prawn]

I love Fallout

It's corny to say but it has literally changed my outlook on the world

I'm a pretty cynical person partially because of how many of the stories in fallout boil down to people ultimately serving their own self-interests above all else

[spiral linden]

ehh, I got bored of the game very quickly

[bitter prawn]

It's not for everyone

[spiral linden]

wasn't meant for me

[bitter prawn]

Especially the first 2

[spiral linden]

im willing to try it again

I was lost

and didn't know what to do

[bitter prawn]

Fallout 4 was my first

[spiral linden]

I played fallout 72 or something

as my first

[bitter prawn]

76

[spiral linden]

yeah

[true sedge]

Yeah, there's your problem

[spiral linden]

76

[bitter prawn]

That's not what fallout really is tbh

It's not an MMO

It's an RPG, and it's way way better as an RPG

[spiral linden]

I didnt understand what I needed to do

[true sedge]

76 is completely different imo from the real fallout

[spiral linden]

I got overwhelmed

[bitter prawn]

So did I

[spiral linden]

vats?

skillpoints?

[bitter prawn]

VATS works fundamentally differently in all the other games

[spiral linden]

im gonna assume VATS and luck are the best

[bitter prawn]

Meh

[wispy narwhal]

we wanted fallout four coop
we did not, get that

[bitter prawn]

VATS can be very strong with the right build

[true sedge]

Sucks the dev team behind the coop mod abandoned it 😔

[bitter prawn]

But in 3 and New Vegas VATS slows time to a complete halt and lets you target individual body parts of enemies

In 4 it slows it down to like 4% or something

[wispy narwhal]

shame
ah well, at this point i'm just waiting for Fallout 5
Never really liked the elder scrolls series, so i'll be waiting a decent while
iirc an elder scrolls is next, then Fallout 5

[bitter prawn]

Fallout 5 will likely not be until the 2030s

[true sedge]

It also annoys me that 76 got way more attention it deserved ultimately because of the fallout show

[wispy narwhal]

late 2020s at best, yeah

[bitter prawn]

Not happy with that piece of information

But it is what it is

[wispy narwhal]

i mean

i'll have GTAVI to occupy me in the meantime

[bitter prawn]

I'll be enjoying fallout 4 for quite a while yet

[wispy narwhal]

I go back every once in awhile and do another playthrough

[true sedge]

Still have yet to play london, but I'm also too lazy to downgrade my copy

[wispy narwhal]

railroad ftw and I will die on this hill

[bitter prawn]

I always have my copy rolled back

[true sedge]

London devs are based as fuck for not making it just a nexus only mod too, because fuck nexus

[bitter prawn]

There's a mod that does it for you and even gives you options of how you want to go about patching

[bitter prawn]

They didn't get a choice

[wispy narwhal]

also I always disliked the fact that 4 gets a decent amount of hate because 'hurrr NV'

[spiral linden]

then there is some truth to what I said then

[bitter prawn]

Why

[spiral linden]

grind Warframe

takes years

[bitter prawn]

big mistake

[spiral linden]

I did

[true sedge]

Because they upped the price on premium. again

[wispy narwhal]

does NV have a good story? Yes
is NV literally just a three reskin? also yes
Fallout 4's story being 'worse' is debatable, but Fallout 4 is better in literally every single other way

[spiral linden]

I'm a 8 year vet

[bitter prawn]

Ah

I am in no position to criticize premium

[true sedge]

Like I would've gladly paid for it prior

[wispy narwhal]

good point
however.

[true sedge]

10 dollars a month just to auto install mods, yeah no

[spiral linden]

is wwr thunder really that good?

[wispy narwhal]

if you like those types of games, then yes

[spiral linden]

I never understood it

I like planes but

UI overwhelming in main menu

[bitter prawn]

I never got the chance to so

I am on premium

[wispy narwhal]

also war thunder makes the best trailers of any game and I will die on this hill
@true sedge enjoy this BANGER
https://youtu.be/JxAjYSpZC2o?si=c-9TjLq5h6ihgfhT

[bitter prawn]

I don't want to do the math to figure out how long this will take to download without premium

[true sedge]

Maybe I'll do my yearly vanilla playthrough rather than stuff it full of mods again

[bitter prawn]

I did vanilla once

[true sedge]

Oh hey, thats the modpack I downloaded without premium :)

[bitter prawn]

I don't have the patience you do

[spiral linden]

the Witcher seems cool

wild hunt one

[true sedge]

I think it took.....12hrs total to install it all

Maybe more

[spiral linden]

opera gx

[wispy narwhal]

and the trailer for the latest (releasing soon™️) update because why not
the bluetooth device has connected successfully update
https://youtu.be/63wEw3IlMjk?si=qEHqdLtvi09qtsCh

[true sedge]

If I mod fo4 this time, it's probably just going to be like fixes and QoL stuff. I can't be fucked to install storywealth amount of mods again

[bitter prawn]

Affirmative

[bitter prawn]

I can't go without my cheat terminal

[spiral linden]

I'ma sleep now y'all, gn

[willow scarab]

This is definitely not the best trailer They've done

[bitter prawn]

Once I have to start managing my money, Nexus premium will be the very first thing to go

[wispy narwhal]

not saying it is, just posting one i had on hand

one of the best is probably Danger Zone lmao

[willow scarab]

N°1 trailer is "Apex predators update"
N°2 trailer is "Air superiority update"
And for the sake of iconic icons,
N°3 definitely goes to "Danger zone update"

[wispy narwhal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjG3rOKGWGc

[bitter prawn]

Console commands can do more, sure, but I'm way faster with cheat terminal than I could ever be with console

[willow scarab]

It's not bad

But it was released just because of top gun

When f14 was added it was fucking broken and unbalanced as hell

They fixed it afterwards

[wispy narwhal]

still is

and was until decompression

[willow scarab]

No it's just "good" for your average dirt eater

[wispy narwhal]

F-14B had NO RIGHT to be 12.3

let alone the 14A at 11.7

back when the top BR was 12.3^

lmfao

[willow scarab]

Looks fair to me

[burnt thistle]

Play Ace Combat 7

[willow scarab]

Both airplanes are missile busses with the only downside being the absolute boat flight model and incredibly hot engines

[wispy narwhal]

they're now 12.3 and 12.7 which makes way more sense

[bitter prawn]

And this is where I bow out

[wispy narwhal]

lel

[willow scarab]

War thunder had in the bag when su-27 was meta and f-15A was fun to play

Then they completely fucking ruined it

[wispy narwhal]

also in terms of ground oriented trailers, ground breaking is 100% up there @willow scarab https://youtu.be/U0Pbu838iSw?si=WYeKBIWhRNxTH8_-

[willow scarab]

How unpredictable

Ya

[wispy narwhal]

ground breaking trailer is just

balling

[willow scarab]

I loved war thunder with all my soul back when su-27 and f-15 were first added

Nowadays, I can only look back and wish I could have those times again

[wispy narwhal]

lel

[willow scarab]

I literally stomped across a disgusting video todya

https://youtube.com/shorts/inUfH6-fMaQ?si=yc4l_zq4cPnJzHJr

Just pure cancer

This is the current state of war thunder

You point, click, and get kills from 16-20 fucking KILOMETERS

[wispy narwhal]

lel i dont play that high so not my concern

i prefer clapping people with the F-4S because that thing is mega dumb

[willow scarab]

Might be one of the first negative IQ needed missiles I've ever seen with how gaijin made them be unreasonably broken

[wispy narwhal]

especially since it suffers from premium syndrome, so people expect them to just be bombing

and then they realise there's an A2A loadout F-4S in the pack

and it's just

[willow scarab]

Ur playing the premium braindead battle rating

[wispy narwhal]

panic

exactly

[willow scarab]

Gets boring after a while

Your teammates and your enemies are shit

What's the fun when no one can hold up a duel

[wispy narwhal]

see
that's the thing
I don't care about teammates, or dueling

I care about making the enemies lives miserable

and the F-4S

is very good at that

[willow scarab]

F4 glazer

[wispy narwhal]

lel

the F-4S is balanced I swear

[willow scarab]

Because it is

You're just playing against braindeads 😭

[wispy narwhal]

lel

[willow scarab]

Last time I recall F4 being relevant was when all it had to fight on the table was a mig-23...

[wispy narwhal]

F-4s were always relevant

people seem to forget before the F-14, the phantoms were the kings of medium range BVR

[willow scarab]

No they were never kings of anything in BVR

Because most other nations had mig-23s, which had R-27ers, which are to this day still the fastest missiles in the game

If not the r27, then the r24, which is still faster and better than the aim-7 in everyway

You're not wrong if you say a F4 is good or enjoyable

[true sedge]

@wispy narwhal Hogwarts Legacy has photo mode, so you know what that means for me

[willow scarab]

But it was definitely never meta 😔

[wispy narwhal]

and being the fastest missile didn't matter when the phantoms had a missile and a radar that could engage you before you could even see it

[wispy narwhal]

[willow scarab]

I guess?

[wispy narwhal]

Like the phantoms ruled because people who knew how to actually use them could shoot first, and kill first, every single time

[willow scarab]

The aim-7f has an insane drag coefficient, meaning any targets above 15km would effectively lose against the Russian counterpart

[wispy narwhal]

which is countered by the fact it has a sustainer motor

i've had 7Fs vertclimb above 15k's to snap a target

the sustainer motor is what gives it the massive edge in medium range BVR

[willow scarab]

Me rn

[wispy narwhal]

russian missiles may be fast but they don't have the range, or the radar, to compete

[willow scarab]

But I know a trick you might be forgetting

Impossible to die to an aim-7F in 2024

Just spiral and the missile loses its shit

And that's not anything new

It's just that 99% of the player base doesn't know about this

And it has existed ever since aim-7F was added

Again it's not saying the F4 is shit but it's just not all of that

Also what you said is 120% true if we were talking about real life

It's just not the case for war thunder

Maybe even DCs does better justice for the F4 phantom

[burnt thistle]

There's also a build in photo mode in nvidia geforce experience which works with Hogwarts legacy

Free cam mode

Alt+F2 is the default key i think

[wispy narwhal]

Phantoms are terrifying in DCS

It's literally

'Woe, AIM-7 be upon ye'

And
Die.

[bitter prawn]

"oh, you dodged the first one? How about you dodge these next 3?"

[wispy narwhal]

Problem is you can't even SEE THEM because most era accurate stuff the F-4 faces... doesn't have a good RWR, if any RWR

[bitter prawn]

Yeah and the radar the F4 had was bleeding-edge at the time

[wispy narwhal]

The later F-4s were literally the F-22s of their generation
The first indication you've got that you're being targeted is the fact that your wingman just fucking exploded

[bitter prawn]

Lmao

[bitter prawn]

Which also helped the fact that air-to-air missiles were coming up right around the time the F4 was iirc

[wispy narwhal]

Not to mention once the initial issues of the AIM-7 Sparrow were worked out, it literally had like, a 85%+ hit rate

Which for the time was absolutely wild

Like
Sidewinders of the era had like a ~30% hit rate
Let alone talking about soviet missiles of the time

[bitter prawn]

And the only reason the other guys got A2A missiles as early as they did was because an early AIM7 failed to detonate and impaled a MiG lmao

[wispy narwhal]

LITERALLY

Proxy warhead fails
AIM-7 still accurate enough to slam into its target

[bitter prawn]

Part of me is impressed the MiG made it home like that

[wispy narwhal]

You'd be surprised how much damage aircraft can sustain and come home, especially when there's no explosive

[bitter prawn]

I guess the "non-critical area" bullshit ace Combat 7 pulled is true to some extent/s

[wispy narwhal]

Iirc the AIM-7 impacted like, centreline fuselage where there was like... nothing

[bitter prawn]

Something something F-15 landing while missing a wing

[wispy narwhal]

Multiple times*

[bitter prawn]

And the pilot didn't even realize something was wrong until he looked

[wispy narwhal]

hell this even applies to prop aircraft too
Look at like
B-17s and stuff

[bitter prawn]

"my wingman is saying something about my right wing is missi-woah what the fuck?!?"

[wispy narwhal]

They took some serious punishment and still came home

[wispy narwhal]

He lost his wing in a collision too lmao

[bitter prawn]

F15 is crazy

[wispy narwhal]

eh
It's nice but I'm firmly in the hornet (both legacy and super/rhino) camp

[bitter prawn]

Soviets lied about their precious MiG 25 and we built an aircraft to win against the forged capabilities, not the actual capabilities

[bitter prawn]

F18 is a fantastic fighter too I'm not saying it isn't

[wispy narwhal]

The hornet is the underappreciated pioneer

[bitter prawn]

It did mad work during desert storm, as did the F15

[wispy narwhal]

First true 'multirole aircraft'

[bitter prawn]

Indeed

[wispy narwhal]

ODS
Hornets on a strike run got intercepted
Flick of a switch, A2A mode, clapped the mig, switched back, did the strike mission

[bitter prawn]

There's a story during desert storm where a hornet detected 2 MiG-29s (I think) on its radar, it fired missiles at them both, 2 hits, 2 kills, then switched back to ground mode right as their target came into view

[wispy narwhal]

also obligatory aardvark mention
Killed over a thousand more tanks than the A-10 in ODS
the real tank killer

[bitter prawn]

A simple story but a wealth of knowledge in the engineering not to mention the simplicity with which it was implemented on the pilot's side

[bitter prawn]

And probably without as many friendly fire incidents

[wispy narwhal]

🥰

[wispy narwhal]

F-111F and F-111C is coming to war thunder in this update too which I'm very happy about

The F-111C is the Australian variant

[bitter prawn]

I tried Wart Hunter but I could never get into it

Side note: I typed war thunder there but it corrected it to wart hunter because I say that on purpose more often than not

[wispy narwhal]

Lmao

I mean
It's not gaijin
It's gaijiggles

[bitter prawn]

Lmao

[wispy narwhal]

[bitter prawn]

It's not Hideo Kojima it's Headache Pagingles

Anyway

I need sleep

[wispy narwhal]

Have a gn

[bitter prawn]

I probably won't but I appreciate the concern

You too

[wispy narwhal]

Lel you're welcome

[naive aurora]

I realized today i was cod player worst nightmare

i'm ok with sbmm and ok with lobby disbanding

[fallen ridge]

so cool when games do this

even small abilities can tell a whole story

[true sedge]

Honestly. I have 700hrs on the damn game and never even considered that as a possibility

[fallen ridge]

smasher is a homie for not killing you straight away lol

some people consider it a visual bug that the devs forgot to iron out

i like to believe it was there on purpose

[naive aurora]

I'm level 30 on bo6 i can uninstall and never play cod again

[fallen ridge]

it adds to the lore

[true sedge]

Oh, it's definitely on purpose. Apparently that was a thing back near launch, too

[fallen ridge]

even small things like perks or abilities make the story that much better

especially in dialogue options

cough fallout new vegas cough

Any pc wukong players ??

As an Australian, I can confidently say the future smells like cheese

@burnt thistle race photos

Edited in lightroom. The first one was also edited by my phone (I didn't know this, but it has a feature to "remaster" the pics and I just so happened to like what it did to the first one)

I tried getting rid of the red reflections on the bumper but I would need to use picsart

[burnt thistle]

2nd pic will be a nice mobile wallpaper

[ebon escarp]

goofy bois

[shy lintel]

I alr use my uncles e30

But is there anything apart from the red lights on the bumper that I could improve in the pics?

Also this 2 pics from scapes (I guess I got carried away with the gtr pics)

[icy badger]

Anyone getting TDU Solar Crown?

I'm getting it, but I can't decide if I wanna wait until September 16th to play, or play the game September 12th. I have a $10 off card I got from work for Amazon but I was hoping to know if you get the Ford GT still if u pre-order it physically.

[simple basalt]

Never heard of it

[icy badger]

Test Drive Unlimited

It's a return of a game

They made a 1 and 2

[charred jackal]

Heard Sam was going to be in the bp

[wicked apex]

Like Samantha Maxis?

[charred jackal]

No

Sam from Trick R Treat

[wicked apex]

Oh sweet

https://youtu.be/azdJp1wZr34?si=reITVIY_8jm6z89b

[charred jackal]

Oh it's a bundle

Never fucking mind

[wicked apex]

Daryl Dixon and Smile 2 are gonna be in game too 👀😈

[charred jackal]

Oh it looks like Myers will be in the bp

Thats a W

Guess I'm getting BlackCell

[charred jackal]

@wicked apex Wanna know whats got me even more hyped?

Zombies is getting an update in the new season

You can access Dark Aether Rifts without a sigil and schems cool down twice as fast

Woah hold up now, this is honestly better than Obsidian or Mercury

[wraith musk]

Im only gunna be able to get this on like 6 weapons unless I start getting the rest of the camos on some other weapons involving prestige

[charred jackal]

Yeah the camos are hell of a grind, but the final prestige camo is definitely worth it, especially since it changes colors

Totally don't need to grind another 300K XP

[wraith musk]

I miss bo6 :( (I can't kidnap people or play with stupid high dps pistols anymore)

[charred jackal]

Also why did you leave the server for a moment

[charred jackal]

I miss it because I can no longer give people the Diddy treatment

[wraith musk]

I can't wait for the camo system in bo6 since you can do camos without having to do weapon levels

[willow scarab]

@burnt thistle rate

i tried to edit it a bit, but i couldnt find a sharpness modifier

id definitely like to change its sharpness

i can try to edit it on instagram

and ill screenshot it (obvious will lose 100% of its quality)

[blissful dust]

When I first saw the pic I thought its real lol

[willow scarab]

that's my goal

the un-edited picture looks way worse imo

[blissful dust]

Can you show it? If you don’t mind

You study design or smth?

[blissful dust]

Graphic design

[willow scarab]

nope it's just a hobby

[blissful dust]

They both look real lol

I feel like this one looks more realistic

What looks realistic is the car yk

[willow scarab]

i cant say the same

i find it too flat

aside from the reflections

it becomes pretty clear its a rendered image in a game

[blissful dust]

Lol they both look real so you are near achieving the project

[willow scarab]

yeah :( dude i HATE the map i have for nodschleife

i can make the car look realistic

but the track itself is always gonna be the giveaway

[blissful dust]

What game is it? Gran turismo?

[willow scarab]

Assetto corsa

[blissful dust]

Without mods?

Cuz its 2013 game am shocked how advanced it looks

2013-2014 don’t know the specific date

[willow scarab]

nope

it has a lot of mods

the most noticeable one is PURE

its almost a complete revamp of the graphics

[blissful dust]

Lol they should make new assetto corsa

[willow scarab]

they are

it got announced a few months ago

[blissful dust]

Oh cool

[willow scarab]

it is looking pretty good actually

▶ Play video

[blissful dust]

Waiting for it to be released on console but if the graphics is too good than nah it ain’t releasin

I like both console and pc but you want pc you have to pay 800$ minimum

[willow scarab]

its not that expensive

i got both sol and pure for around 10$

they have a patreon where they release their work

[blissful dust]

Wym sol and pure

[willow scarab]

you can subscribe once, get the apps, and then cancel your subscription

[willow scarab]

those 2 are the mods that transforms assetto corsa into what it is

[blissful dust]

I meant to buy pc lol

[willow scarab]

ohhh shit my bad

yeah then youre right

its def 1000$ minimum for a good end pc rn

[blissful dust]

Is r5 5500x with rx 6600 good?

[willow scarab]

i genuinely wouldn't know, im not an expert with hardware parts

you can definitely ask in #tech-coding-math

[blissful dust]

Yeah

[willow scarab]

hopefully people are nice there

also

heres another shot but of the bmw m5 cs

its not meant to look realistic

[bitter prawn]

I got some tips there

[willow scarab]

just pretty

[willow scarab]

these are 5K images by the way

you can zoom in them

to see the magic lol

[blissful dust]

Depends if the screen am using is 5k lol

Its 1080p

[willow scarab]

nope

thats not what i meant

like, the image is very big

ofc in your screen it gets reduced

[blissful dust]

Oh Ok lol

[willow scarab]

so if you zoom in, you can see more

[blissful dust]

You have good quality monitor I think right?

[willow scarab]

not really

i have a 760p monitor lol

[blissful dust]

Cuz looks better then zooming w my phone

[willow scarab]

the thing is that i have an upscaling in my images

[blissful dust]

760 or 720

[willow scarab]

iirc its 766

but i round up to 760

[blissful dust]

Not here mate

[willow scarab]

its pretty fun to make these

[blissful dust]

Lol my phones quality is better than my monitor

Both are 1080p

[blissful dust]

Iphone X

Monitor

[willow scarab]

lol

[blissful dust]

How you getting quality with 760p

[willow scarab]

its simple

in assetto corsa, within one of the mods, theres a mod that helps the quality of screenshots

it basically instead of taking a picture, it utilizes your computer to render an image as if it was 10x the original quality

in my case i set it to be x4 the original quality

but it only does that for the picture, and it took me 30 seconds to take that picture

but some other pictures can take up to 1 minute and 30 seconds or even up to 2-3 minutes

heres a picture in the rain

[charred jackal]

@wraith musk You getting Blackcell?

The operator is 3 headed ghost

Makes me want to cop it even more

[blissful dust]

30 seconds? Are you the one driving or its npcs

[wraith musk]

I've gotten blackcell every season since it was a thing

[willow scarab]

yeah

im driving

[blissful dust]

Thats fast lol

[willow scarab]

wdym?

photos usually take like half a second or a second

[blissful dust]

Like takin it in 30 seconds

[willow scarab]

noo

u dont get it

it takes me 30 seconds, in a still frame, to take the picture

cant really describe it

[blissful dust]

Like takin it while no one is moving? Like time froze

I understand but can’t describe it too

Like when you have an iphone camera or samsung doesn’t matter and the phone has still mode like if you shake the phone it will keep focusing on the middle

Wait lol you are level 75 and you haven’t been here only 2 month thats fast

Since july

[willow scarab]

nope

ive been here since 2020

i left the server a while ago and rejoined

[willow scarab]

i go into replay mode, then i go into camera mode

i just pause the replay and fly around

that's it

but the time im talking about is this:

[blissful dust]

Shit thing is gta doesn’t have camera mode

I would love to take many pictures of my builds

But no camera mode

[willow scarab]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/825924563216629810/1283197509925077002/Replay_2024-09-10_19-45-04_-_Trim.mp4?ex=66e21e4f&is=66e0cccf&hm=363c4245279bc4589158753ac61bd277df8bbcae8d55080c339f06302107368d&

it takes 30 seconds for the quality to upscale

thats all

here it took 45 seconds

[blissful dust]

Lol we can hear spotify playin in the background

[true sedge]

The circling with the mouse truly made it feel like an authentic youtube tutorial

[wispy narwhal]

laser pointer on a budget

[willow scarab]

i mean its small as shit

i wish i had an app to edit photos

like a dedicated one

like photoshop

but i dont have money to buy it

[willow scarab]

like on mobile i also tried picsart but it surpisingly doesnt have "sharpness" modificator

which pissed me the fuck off

one of the best modificators in a photo and it simply doesnt exist in a photo editor app

stupid

[severe halo]

How was the bo6 beta

[wraith musk]

Pretty good honestly

Enjoyed kidnapping and whispering into peoples ears before throwing them off buildings

[severe halo]

Dude that sounds fun as hell

[foggy stirrup]

Omnimovement

Like Max payne 3 movement but in first person

[severe halo]

I saw something about that

You're gonna have sweats abusing that to the max

[foggy stirrup]

Also taking human shields

Return of vertical ui

[heady wharf]

Hi

[burnt thistle]

U can use Lightroom or Snapseed

On mobile

[burnt thistle]

Just blur out low res trees in background

[foggy stirrup]

Hi

[pine zinc]

Death puppy

[burnt thistle]

@viral tendon have u played Crew 2 before?

[viral tendon]

Yeah

[burnt thistle]

Crew 2 is on sale on steam
98% off

Only $1 lol

[viral tendon]

It's meh

[burnt thistle]

Yeah but it's s great deal for $1

[viral tendon]

Is motorfest 2 and crew 2 different?

[burnt thistle]

Motorfest has better handling

But has smaller map as compared to crew 2

[viral tendon]

I have drift 2 too

[burnt thistle]

CarX?

[viral tendon]

Ok so crew motorfest and crew 2 are different

Which is better tho

[viral tendon]

Torque drift 2

[burnt thistle]

Motorfest but not worth to pay $60 or whatever the current price is

[viral tendon]

I already have crew motorfest but played for like 1 minute

[burnt thistle]

Motorfest aint 60 times better

[burnt thistle]

💀

[viral tendon]

What happened

[burnt thistle]

Played for only 1 minute

[viral tendon]

People say it's not good so i didn't play much

[viral tendon]

Literally opened the game and closed because someone said it's bad

[burnt thistle]

Bruh

[viral tendon]

So should I buy crew 2 if i already have crew motorfest

[burnt thistle]

Crew 2 has full USA map

[burnt thistle]

Nope

[viral tendon]

I can buy it 90 cents no big deal at all

[burnt thistle]

But since the price is only $1 then definitely yes

[blissful dust]

On console too lol

[viral tendon]

Ghost recon good?

[burnt thistle]

I got crew 2 for like $10 last year but refunded it now im gonna buy it again for $1

[viral tendon]

Lol Better

[blissful dust]

Get the motorfest lol

[burnt thistle]

Didnt like its gameplay

And graphics

[blissful dust]

Its 24$

[viral tendon]

So if motorfest is better than crew 2

[blissful dust]

On sale

[burnt thistle]

I had played its demo

[blissful dust]

And I love forza but in my opinion motorfest has better handling than forza horizon 5

[viral tendon]

Yes

[burnt thistle]

Lol no

FH5 has better handling

[blissful dust]

Handling is fucked up bro

[burnt thistle]

And yes i have been playing Fh5 since day 1

[blissful dust]

The only car that has good handling is

Mustang Mach 1971

💀

The only car I enjoyed riding

[burnt thistle]

Drift physics are garbage in motorfest

[blissful dust]

Nah bro

[burnt thistle]

It was weird when i tried it

[blissful dust]

To me drifting in gta is better than both

[burnt thistle]

Most cars in motorfest either had too much grip or understeer

Grip racing in motorfest was fine

No complaints in that

[blissful dust]

I like grip cars more than drift cars

Some cars just when you steer a bit it will slide

Stage 2 in forza sucks lol cuz it makes the car slide asf

[burnt thistle]

Ofcourse it will slide if u put in too much power without increasing downforce

[burnt thistle]

That's how i accidentally made a drift car in forza

[blissful dust]

In game you can’t do shi

In rlf its better

I have series S and I deleted forza cuz it was takin 50% of my storage

[burnt thistle]

Yes i also play assetto for realistic physics

[blissful dust]

Assetto has so good graphics but with mods

[burnt thistle]

Yeah

Assetto is a scam on consoles

[blissful dust]

Lol fr

Assetto is always 1$ on steam

When I had pc

It always was

Or 2-3$

But cheap

[burnt thistle]

Base version yes

[blissful dust]

But for mods 10$ or smth

[burnt thistle]

I got ultimate edition for like $3

In 2021

[blissful dust]

Lol

You know titanfall 2?

[burnt thistle]

Never paid for a single one till now

[blissful dust]

I’ll take it as you don’t know it lol

[burnt thistle]

I know all of the mods in assetto

Sol,Pure,CSP

[blissful dust]

Not mods lol its game

[burnt thistle]

🤔

[viral tendon]

@burnt thistle im downloading crew motorfest

I saw it has very good graphics

Smh i didn't even try it properly

[burnt thistle]

I didnt like crew motorfest since it didnt have good graphics,handling,optimisation,online only

Cars locked behind seasons pass

And micro transactions

Online racing was total chaos💀

[burnt thistle]

[viral tendon]

Huh?

So it's a bad game

I already installed it

😿

[burnt thistle]

Mid game overall

[obsidian ice]

The physics SUCK imo

[true sedge]

It's a ubisoft racing game, idk what people expected tbh

[viral tendon]

The handling suck but it's kinda fun

[simple basalt]

Ubisoft makes fantastic games though

[bitter prawn]

Sometimes

[bitter prawn]

Physics are okay, better than TC2 and I think they did better with the handling

It's an arcade racing game, always was

They made drifting non-drift-spec cars surprisingly fun and somewhat challenging, especially something this big lol

[torn holly]

I’ve got a question about Ubisoft and the star wars outlaws community on Redditstead , I do wonder why everyone on that community is constantly complimenting the game and trying to direct the hatred toward critics with negative attitude? I’ve noticed only in a few days that they’ve tried to yap about some century old mechanism that never worked properly and went silent once the general community realized that those were just blatant design flaws, and continued on the same mindset? what is the reason for defending such unfinished product? is it money that the company promised? because certainly they don’t sponsor some random boomers on redditstead.

[charred jackal]

They need to remove posts saying Outlaws is good, since it's in their rules

[bitter prawn]

[shrewd fiber]

hlo

[charred jackal]

@wicked apex You sure they're shit? No DMG nerf, just range and spread

[true sedge]

It's currently tempting to get, mainly for the fact it's 20 dollars on epic rn

and I have a 10 dollar coupon

[bitter prawn]

Money grinding is awful

[tight spear]

This

[true sedge]

If it's like TC2, it can't be all bad

[bitter prawn]

Physics are better than TC2 I'd say

[true sedge]

Or well, I mean the money grind

[bitter prawn]

Oh no it's much worse

[true sedge]

😭 no wayyyy

[bitter prawn]

It's much slower in TCM

[true sedge]

Worse than having to grind the dam race and New York

[bitter prawn]

One of the pursuit races are leagues better than both of those, which is what I'm comparing TCM grind with

[true sedge]

I played before those came out, so all my grind was put into those

[bitter prawn]

Are you aware of the collection transfer system

[true sedge]

I am, which is also why I'm considering the game

Cause my end goal was level 1000 on TC2, so I'm done with the game

[bitter prawn]

It even works after the initial transfer

If there's a car that's in TC2 that you want in TCM, go grind it in TC2 because it will be faster

[true sedge]

Wait, so I can transfer multiple times?

[bitter prawn]

It does it automatically, though it does take its time

[true sedge]

Hmmm

Also 20 dollars on steam. Might be better on steam cause epic bad

But then space marine 2.....

[bitter prawn]

real

[true sedge]

But then....racing

[drifting tusk]

this looks better

[true sedge]

I just want a game I can free drive in that isn't damn forza

[bitter prawn]

This is a bomb-ass (very very good) deal by any measure

[viral tendon]

This is worse than crew motorfest

But

For 1 euro it's nice

[true sedge]

But I mean, recent reviews say the game is improving?

[bitter prawn]

Test Drive Unlimited solar crown is also a thing

[viral tendon]

I haven't got this because i already have crew motorfest

Test drive is nice

Nfs too

Heat is alright

[true sedge]

After what I heard, idk tbh

[bitter prawn]

I don't own TDU SC, I decided to buy space marine 2 instead

I'll be waiting for a discount to get solar crown

[viral tendon]

Y'all know asphalt 9

It's pretty good too

[true sedge]

13 years I would've expected something much much more polished

[bitter prawn]

The closed testing sessions were reported rough but apparently they cleaned it up

And plus their post-launch content says they're adding Ibiza back

Whether it'll be one to one scale like the older game IDK

[wicked apex]

When I say stuff has nerfs I'm going based off of WZ and MP. Obviously you're gonna do more damage in zombies because you can pap weapons

[bitter prawn]

Helldivers 2 devs have been cooking lately though

[sterile sluice]

@charred jackal this u im with in gta right now?

[sleek urchin]

hello everyone what are you guys talking aboit

[charred jackal]

What

[sterile sluice]

Someone in my game is named big joe

[charred jackal]

Saw a vid, close up it one shots a mega aboms head

Still better off with the v-r11 though

[sleek urchin]

I saw hell divers gameplay and is it that good

[charred jackal]

My ingame name isn't Big Joe

[wicked apex]

He's right

It's Joe Big

[wicked apex]

Jk jk lmao 🤣

[sleek urchin]

LOL

what are your favoiurite games

everyone?

[bitter prawn]

It's pretty fun

[sleek urchin]

What made people get into it I dont get it

Its like a 3rd person alien world or smth

[bitter prawn]

It's fun

[sleek urchin]

What are your other games do you guys like

[bitter prawn]

Space Marine 2 and Fallout 4

[sleek urchin]

The best thing about fall out 4 is the combat

[bitter prawn]

The best thing about Fallout 4 is the modding

[true sedge]

Well, ignoring mods that is

As its own thing, the combat is probably my favorite thing about 4

[bitter prawn]

The combat was the biggest improvement from its predecessor

[true sedge]

If only we got some remakes with 4s combat 😔

[bitter prawn]

To be fair I probably wouldn't play it as much as I do were the combat not as good as it is to boot

[sleek urchin]

Does fallout 4 have vehicles you can drive?

[bitter prawn]

No

[true sedge]

Honestly same

[bitter prawn]

There are mods for that of course, but none in vanilla

[sleek urchin]

Do you like the mobile game fall out shelter

[visual solstice]

is little nightmares 2 good

[sleek urchin]

never played that game before i dont like horror movies

[bitter prawn]

It's a good time killer

[sleek urchin]

thats about the only fallout game ive ever played

[visual solstice]

it’s horror?

[sleek urchin]

yeah sounds like it

little nightmares

[bitter prawn]

Puzzle Adventure horror

[visual solstice]

oh okay

[bitter prawn]

Rated T for teen so it won't be all that bloody

[sleek urchin]

Is rated t like pegi 18

or pegi 15

[bitter prawn]

No

[sleek urchin]

I am british so we dont have those certifications

[bitter prawn]

PEGI 12 is equivalent to teen apparently

[sleek urchin]

ok thanks for the info

Have you ever played gta ctw

before?

[bitter prawn]

Of course

Or do you mean Chinatown wars

The only GTA game I've played is V

[sleek urchin]

yeah chinatown wars

the one on the ds and psp

Hello anyone alive

[nocturne plank]

im alive

[dim quail]

i love china town wars!

[sleek urchin]

hello

What are you guys doing'

[dim quail]

but i dont like china because its hot there

[sleek urchin]

It is yes

@unkempt ore

[charred jackal]

Why would you ask that

Fallout 4 takes place after a nuke detonates

Almost everything there would be lifeless

[bitter prawn]

One of the earlier fallout games does have the protag use a working car

That being said it gets stolen the moment he leaves it outside lmao idk what he expected

[true sedge]

@bitter prawn Damn, they were feeling the pressure HARD

Which begs the question....WHY did they shut down crew 1 and delist it

[bitter prawn]

I guess because they couldn't be bothered to make an offline mode

[charred jackal]

@wicked apex There's gonna be a bundle which let's you play as The Entity from zombies, and it'll have a mastecraft too

Might cop with the cp from the bp

[bitter prawn]

I mean licensing is a thing too so they probably would have stopped selling it either way

[true sedge]

Now that I know this is a thing, I might actually get motorfest now

There's hope for ubi yet!

giving my life to destroy this stupid chinese eurofigther

for some reason this thing is an absolute UFO

[wispy narwhal]

Most of the UFO stuff should have been fixed in the last patch

At least the part of it straight up flying sideways

lmfao

[foggy stirrup]

Asphalt

Played 8 and 9 but didn't play much

[burnt thistle]

Never liked handling physics of Crew 2
Graphics also didn't look good even on max settings this is why i refunded it last year and its price was $10
Now time to get it again for $1

[burnt thistle]

Too much arcady

[viral tendon]

Real

[viral tendon]

It's worth a dollar but not 10

[burnt thistle]

Real

[viral tendon]

I played crew motorsport
It is similar to Forza horizon

[burnt thistle]

[viral tendon]

The graphics

Very similar

But handling Forza better

[burnt thistle]

Crew motorfest had poor optimisation

Last year

[burnt thistle]

I had done a comparison between them last year

Crew motorfest is at lowest settings to get playable fps 💀
FH5 is at Ultra settings

[viral tendon]

Forza looks more realistic yeah 150gb

Because Forza is huge compared to the crew motorfest?

Has more content ig

[burnt thistle]

Yes forza has 16K skybox for cloud textures

16k resolution

[viral tendon]

I play crew motorfest at maximum settings and get around 80 fps

On 4090

[burnt thistle]

:skull:

[viral tendon]

Forza i get above 150 fps

[burnt thistle]

Also environment textures are way better in Forza

[viral tendon]

Yup because it's not a ubisoft game

[burnt thistle]

lol

[burnt thistle]

Nfs heat has better graphics with Unite mod

And better physics with drift overhaul mod

Look at my drift score

[viral tendon]

Woah

[burnt thistle]

Nfs Heat also has an offline mode unlike Crew

So atleast it will not get delisted 💀

[bitter prawn]

EA's licensing also apparently lasts way longer

You could have bought, say, NFS Most Wanted 2012, right up until the Xbox 360 digital marketplace was shuttered

A month ago

[burnt thistle]

[viral tendon]

did u notice
