[vapid cypress]

Life goes oninonioninoninon

[silk island]

99% of these are games i got for free through epic's free game promotion 🤣

[vapid cypress]

I'm a steam goat

[silk island]

heh

the funny thing is most of the games i own on EGS are better than the ones i own on Steam 😂

heh

[vapid cypress]

How many did you play

[silk island]

(well, except for fortnite...i hate that game)

[quaint venture]

EGS would be cool if it wasn't such a disappointment of an app

[silk island]

i don't think its a disappointment of an app

its much better than it was back when it first launched

[vapid cypress]

It's dog water

[silk island]

disagree

its nicer aesthetically than steam

even with steam's UI overhaul

[quaint venture]

The lowest of bars

[silk island]

what exactly is wrong with it? i have no issues with it, its performance is on par with steam now, at least on my computer

[quaint venture]

Not about performance it's about features, they marketed it as something that would compete with steam but launched with zero features and are still missing things that steam has had for years

[silk island]

tbf i don't really care about app features

[dull granite]

did you buy any of these games

[silk island]

detroit: become human & beyond two souls

the rest? nope

[quaint venture]

Their one good thing is free games and that's the only reason most people have the thing

[dull granite]

lmao

[quaint venture]

Which I mean, if it works then it works

[full fossil]

red dead was free??

[silk island]

no, my friend gifted me it

[full fossil]

oh

[silk island]

378 of the games on there i got for free basically

[silk island]

i don't think they ever said it would compete with steam in terms of features, only revenue model where they would beat steam's revenue sharing model by only taking 12% instead of 30%

[quaint venture]

That may have been the main reason but the fact is that most people were never going to switch to epic unless they had the things steam had as features, the revenue split may have appealed to publishers but consumers really couldn't care

At the end of the day they are competing for the same market space

[silk island]

i don't think they wanted people to switch, just for ppl to use it alongside other storefronts

and tbf i think more people should use EGS

[quaint venture]

That makes zero sense, they legit bought games up so they wouldn't launch on steam for a set amount of time

[silk island]

thats true but iirc they stopped doing that

[quaint venture]

Plus they're a business, of course they would rather have people switch to them

[silk island]

i can't remember the last time a game was an EGS exclusive

[quaint venture]

Because all it did was piss people off

[graceful burrow]

because it was hurting them more than helping
they didnt do it out of the kindness of their hearts

[wraith sonnet]

is chrome changing the default search engine? literally never use yahoo and suddenly it's the default, I've installed NOTHING since the last time I used this browser

[silk island]

why would chrome change the default SE away from google lol

[graceful burrow]

hasnt happened to me, you can change it in the settings

[quaint venture]

Doubt it, prob just fucked up settings or something

[silk island]

unless you got a virus or smtn

[wraith sonnet]

current monopoly investigation from congress?

[silk island]

nah

there's been no ruling yet

they don't have to do anything until the final verdict / ruling

if there even is one that adversely affects them

also i don't think its congress i think its a court trial

[hearty spear]

unless they see the writing on the wall, and make a move to "soften" the blow from congress.

[hearty spear]

Doesn't have to be: Congress has a lot of powers and can pass laws to do things, and congressional inquiries are also binding.

[graceful burrow]

cringe politics talk

[hearty spear]

(At least this is on-topic politics talk)

[silk island]

how is a lawsuit related to politics

[graceful burrow]

ill give you that but its still cringe

[graceful burrow]

congress????

bro are you ok

[silk island]

i don't even think its congressional though

hold on i think maybe im just dumb gimme a sec

its a department of justice trial

[graceful burrow]

sounds like government to me

[silk island]

not everything is political tho

[quaint venture]

Americans try not to make everything political: Actually impossible

[hot tartan]

Everything is political lol

[silk island]

i don't think food is political...

or video games...

[quaint venture]

Wanna bet on both those things

[silk island]

or casual discussion...

[hearty spear]

as soon as the FDA's involved it is!

[spice pine]

anything can be political if you try hard enough

[hearty spear]

FCC says "HI!"

[hot tartan]

Video games can 100% be political lol

[silk island]

can is different from are

[graceful burrow]

bro's never heard of six days in fallujah

[spice pine]

most videogames have political themes and undertones but Gamers can't read subtext

[hot tartan]

Yup, all we care about is big explosion and big damage numbers

[quaint venture]

Like 99% of all media has politcal undertones and themes

[silk island]

[wraith sonnet]

[ionic abyss]

ok so you need a super computer to run cities skylines 2???

[quaint venture]

Yeah, playing it at NASA rn

[old solar]

what is the "zoomer retention" thing in this video? I've been seeing a lot of videos lately where they're split and I'm so confused by this

[graceful burrow]

what video

[quaint venture]

Zoomer brain = broken due to short form videos so they add extra shit to keep brain broken people like myself engaged

[old solar]

LTT's latest video sorry

short form videos?

[quaint venture]

Tiktok and that shit

[ionic abyss]

i never looked at imperial measurements before

[old solar]

How does having a split video help with retention?

[ionic abyss]

lol but i didnt know a twip or a thou was a measurement

[graceful burrow]

keeps zoomers minds busy

[quaint venture]

"keep brain broken people like myself engaged" more shit equals more focus

[ionic abyss]

never heard of a twip as a measurement before today

[old solar]

I guess I just don't understand how tiktok and things like it made people "broken" and can't stay engaged

[quaint venture]

I thought you were american?

[graceful burrow]

you dont need to get it

[old solar]

like you can't focus on two different things at once despite what people say when they "multi task"

[ionic abyss]

we dont measure things in twips

[old solar]

I mean I'd like to understand it

[quaint venture]

Dopamine is one hell of a drug

[eager notch]

I plugged in a better GPU and it didn't make my games any better, what do?

[hot tartan]

it is the drug lol

[quaint venture]

You wouldn't

[quaint venture]

Yeah that's why I said it 💀

[old solar]

guess as a millennial I won't

[ionic abyss]

a twip is a typographic measure that is 0.0000176389 metres or 1⁄17280 of a foot

[hot tartan]

sorry i meant to emphasize the the, since dopamine is just like crazy strong

[ionic abyss]

i suspect i wasnt the first person to not know what a twip was

[quaint venture]

I mean it's a very specific form of measurement that no one would use in their daily life

[hearty spear]

imperial has a fuckton of stupid measurements

and I'm pretty sure the people who came up with most of them /were/ drunk

[quaint venture]

Americans trying to figure out what a cm is

(It's about 1 inch)

[graceful burrow]

which america north or south

[ionic abyss]

1/100th of a metre duh

or is it 1000th

no 100th

[graceful burrow]

bro you cant make fun of another system if you dont understand the one you use

[lapis solstice]

Less than half of an inch

[graceful burrow]

[quaint venture]

"Americans: belonging or relating to the United States of America, or to its people or culture"

[graceful burrow]

canadians are americans
brazilians are also americans, south americans to be exact

there's also central america but a lot of people see that as a subset not its own thing

[quaint venture]

Canadians are well Canadians, they're north American but not Americans

[graceful burrow]

north american

[ionic abyss]

You called Canadians Americans, I said they were not Americans but that they reside within the continent of north america

looks like it isn't a web ui

[graceful burrow]

Steam is a web ui

[silk island]

yes, and it would probably be faster if they just created a native wrapper / api for the store instead of loading a webpage ;-;

[graceful burrow]

I prefer it the way it is

[dreamy rose]

this is what UI you want.

this is the PERFECT, launcher UI

[silk island]

thats not the store

this is bad

[dreamy rose]

News, Full list of games, Recently played, games sorted by many options.

[manic torrent]

The perfect UI

[crystal oriole]

I think if steam had the xbox app ui it would be the perfect store

[silk island]

EGL has filters too

and sort options

[dreamy rose]

did you name your PC after Freddie Mercury?

[dreamy rose]

and is ugly.

[silk island]

no its not.

[dreamy rose]

Steam is not

[silk island]

it looks better than steam imo.

[manic torrent]

No, from alice in wonderland

[dreamy rose]

you have a shitty opinion then.

[graceful burrow]

God I'd hate that

[silk island]

and it doesn't have horribly optimized hover effects when you hover over a news card

these

[graceful burrow]

Egs' library filtering and search fucking blows

[dreamy rose]

who actually uses the news section bro. its there because someone might use it.

[silk island]

there's nearly no difference between steam's library search and epic's library search aside from the ability to filter by store tags

[dreamy rose]

steam does better

[silk island]

and you can't even sort by playtime in Steam's library

[golden talon]

they both suck i just like steams game selection

[dreamy rose]

the fuck you mean you cant sort by playtime?

[dreamy rose]

thats the store you don't need your hours spent playing in that.

[dreamy rose]

you aren't buying the game twice

[silk island]

also no thats my library ya dingus

lol

[graceful burrow]

Why would I want to sort by playtime anyway lol

I know what games I play the most and what ones I don't lmao

[silk island]

its a nice to have

[dreamy rose]

where the fuck are you actuaslly looking then.

[graceful burrow]

How

In what way is it nice to have I'm genuinely curious kek

[golden talon]

theres a fine line between nice to have and pointless

[silk island]

???

[dreamy rose]

its right below your recently played dingus.

you blind or something?

why did the opponent on the tower fall backards https://youtu.be/usBbenIeAIs?t=723

[graceful burrow]

Epic embed fail

[crystal oriole]

no u can sort it by playtime just click the category and sort by playtime

[dreamy rose]

look.

with eyes

[silk island]

okay well thats terrible UX

[dreamy rose]

no, its a PEBCAK if you can't find it.

[golden talon]

bro trying to find every reason possible to declare steam is shit

[silk island]

no, i like steam a lot actually

[dreamy rose]

Epic games shill maybe?

[silk island]

i just don't like some of its UX

[crystal oriole]

i sure love opening epic games and having to remove the filters they set automatically just to download a game

[golden talon]

its not that deep

you act like you spend more time in steam than in an actual game

[silk island]

like, from what i know of, there's no way to turn off that "What's New" feed in the Library

[dreamy rose]

i sure love opening EGS (thats a joke, i do not and never will have EGS)

[silk island]

ok except EGS isn't bad?

[manic torrent]

the wind?

[silk island]

you're def a steam shill if you think EGS is still bad 5 years later

[dreamy rose]

yeah. its fucking awful.

[silk island]

no, no it most definitely is not

[crystal oriole]

personally i hate both so im not biased

[silk island]

you want a bad client? look at ubisoft connect

that is an actually awful client

[dreamy rose]

most definitely is,

[dreamy rose]

its worse but that doesn't at all make EGS good

[silk island]

EGS isn't an awful or bad client

[slow bone]

wind owns the final fight lol, it does look like it

[dreamy rose]

you're right.

[silk island]

it works fine and they have continulously added features to it since 2018 and it does what its supposed to, which is launch games.

[dreamy rose]

its fucking horrendous

[silk island]

no its not

[small wedge]

What dual monitor arms you guys got

[dreamy rose]

sure is

[silk island]

no its not

[graceful burrow]

This argument is literally "nuh uh" "yea huh" can you both shut the hell up Jesus christ

[dreamy rose]

quite literally yes

[silk island]

how is it horrendous when it works perfectly fine

[crystal oriole]

steam sucks normally the only way i use it for actual store browsing is on big picture move and epic just sucks for most things except the free games

[silk island]

like, i stg you're a shill for gabe

I'm not shilling for Epic.

[dreamy rose]

yeah, you are.

[silk island]

I just don't think its a bad, awful or horrendous client

same with Steam, Steam is solid but it has UX issues

[dreamy rose]

i've seen unflushed turds that look better

[silk island]

ok except have you ever actually used EGS?

Or are you just hating on it because of the whole exclusives ordeal?

because spoiler alert every single storefront has exclusives

[dreamy rose]

yes. and i'm ashamed to say i ever touched the fucking thing.

[silk island]

you mustn't have touched it for like 5 years because its nowhere near as bad as it was when it first launched

[dreamy rose]

its actually worse than the Rockstar launcher

[silk island]

yeah no its not

i'd like to hear your reasons how or why its bad and somehow worse than the Rockstar launcher which is worse than Ubi Connect

[dreamy rose]

at least you can basically ignore RGL.

Epic shoves their nose in everyone's business trying to make PC Gaming as miserable as possible by ruining the goal of Valve, to make it easier than piracy to game on a PC. but no, who walks in? some clown disguised as a programmer.

[silk island]

that is the dumbest take i've ever heard

Valve holds a monopoly on the PC Gaming market

[dreamy rose]

it really isn't when Epic clown center is in the room.

[dreamy rose]

you may think its dumb, but its smarter than yours.

[silk island]

no its not

it is a severely dumb take

tim sweeney is not a clown

he invented Unreal Engine

which is one of the most popular game engines in the entire industry

[dreamy rose]

oh really? what do you know him personally, got nice and friendly. had a real conversation where he actually says something correct for once?

[silk island]

he's not the most mature person in the world, but to call him a clown is more immature

[silk island]

do you?

[full fossil]

what is the best xbox controller for pc

[silk island]

microsoft's imo

[full fossil]

u mean xbox?

[dreamy rose]

why would i associate with a clown that acts like linux is for cheaters and should be avoided like the plague?

[full fossil]

like their original contorllers

[silk island]

yes, the official xbox wireless controller

[dreamy rose]

Dumb question.

[full fossil]

i already have an xbox one controller but its a bit uncomfortable

[full fossil]

why

[graceful burrow]

They all have the same form factor since the xbone

Aside the Duke which is a novelty at best
And the adaptive controller which is a specific thing

[dreamy rose]

The Xbox controllers are the best controllers for PC. apart from OG Xbox they all work on pc

[silk island]

to be fair...i partially agree with his avoid stance, in terms of gaming

[full fossil]

i have an eswap pro x but the stick drift and right bumper is just broken

[dreamy rose]

so you're an idiot too?

[silk island]

his cheating stance, no, i disagree with that

[gleaming harbor]

my not-official switch controller is an xbox controller of you plug it in pc

[full fossil]

used it for one year

[silk island]

however linux is not meant for gaming right now

even with proton

[gleaming harbor]

steam deck

[silk island]

games can still run significantly worse on steam deck than they do on a windows PC due to the wine overhead

[dreamy rose]

no. linux is meant for Gaming. its meant to do everything.

[graceful burrow]

<@&750150305383186585> just arguing arguing arguing over nothing, name calling, telling people their questions are dumb

[full fossil]

yeah this bionicseaserpent guy

[gleaming harbor]

i missed out getting popcorn

[full fossil]

lmao who comes up with that name

and this guy plays superanimal royale

[gleaming harbor]

you want it to be dangercactus101

[dreamy rose]

do you even know what that is?

[full fossil]

yeah the worst free game on steam or smth

[dreamy rose]

clearly haven't seen it.

[gilded forge]

Hyperkin's replica Duke controller.

[silk island]

linux is hella powerful, yes, but it is not currently intended or designed for gaming. its bread and butter is in the server and IOT space and I say this as someone who has used Linux since the kernel 2.6 days

[full fossil]

just watched the gameplay

how do u enjoy that

[dreamy rose]

its better than fortnite ever was.

[full fossil]

yep a birds eye view battle royale is better than a game which involves skill ur funny mate

[silk island]

the ecosystem surrounding the desktop is very convoluted right now, there are two separate display servers, and both of them have downsides

x.org is a security nightmare, and wayland is missing feature parity with said x.org

and nvidia's wayland support is atrocious

[dreamy rose]

Fortnite is just "who can build the biggest tower avter hearing a bang" competition theres no skill.

[silk island]

ok except if thats what people find fun, then why does it matter?

[dreamy rose]

that Nvidia. get a real card if you wanna use linux

[full fossil]

edits, flicks?? better than super animal royale 💀

why am i arguing with u if u like it play it

[dreamy rose]

please. if you think fortnite requires skill then grow up and install TF2.

[silk island]

i have an AMD card, however the significant majority of the PC space use NVIDIA or Intel GPUs due to most laptops and prebuilts having NVIDIA graphics paired with Intel iGPUs.

[full fossil]

oh so u like TF2 as well thats insane have you ever heard of an actual game

[gilded forge]

battle royales themselves are too much. there's too many. there's been over 50 games dedicated to JUST BATTLE ROYALE since H1Z1.

[full fossil]

let me hear ur take on cod

[full fossil]

i dont play fortnite

[silk island]

wow ok i can't tell if you're trolling / shitposting or what at this point

[gilded forge]

first 4 are fine, everything after that sucks.

[silk island]

tf2 is not a good game lol

[dreamy rose]

unlike fortnite it'll actually live to 20.

[full fossil]

exactly what is this guy on

[silk island]

and for that matter neither is counter-strike imo

fortnite isn't the best either

[full fossil]

u cant be saying that super animal royale is better than like call of duty or apex legends or something

[gleaming harbor]

maybe i should kept my steam account private

[silk island]

also what the fuck is super animal royale?

[full fossil]

exactly

[silk island]

sounds like a child's game

[full fossil]

it is

[silk island]

like a game intended for children

[full fossil]

what did u do

[dreamy rose]

that fortnite

[silk island]

fortnite isn't a children's game, and at least its actually a decent game aside from the MTX compared to super animal royale...

[gilded forge]

SAR and the others are two different fucking genres

[full fossil]

bionic sea serpent man no one is talking about fortnite no one likes it

[gilded forge]

i just refuse to install epic games at all

[full fossil]

ok regardless of that would you rather play a birds eye view battle royale or something else

[silk island]

i..don't understand this stance

[dreamy rose]

exactly. you can't directly compare them.

[gilded forge]

given the choice between ANYTGING ELSE, baldurs gate 2 remastered or 3.

[dreamy rose]

at least i'm comparing games within
the same subgenre.

[silk island]

fortnite & SAR are both BR games

[dreamy rose]

and SAR is better

[silk island]

i'd take fortnite over SAR and its childish artstyle / gameplay concept

[gilded forge]

Fortnite is a TPS, apex and TF2 are FPS, SAR is a top down shooter game akin to twin shooters.

[full fossil]

u have to be trolling bionicseaman

[full fossil]

why do you know this

[dreamy rose]

and you are an Epic shill so theres no suprises

[silk island]

i am not a shill for epic omfg

[gilded forge]

I've seen the gameplay, and I play a few twin stick shooters.

[silk island]

you do not understand what shill even means

[full fossil]

oh ok

[dreamy rose]

clearly are if you gotta say you aren't.

[silk island]

i have made it clear that i do not particularly like fortnite

[full fossil]

YOU ASKED HER LMAOOO

[silk island]

however i would take it over super animal royale

[silk island]

you're the one who's accused me of being a shill even though i'm not

you're the one trying to shove your opinion down my throat re: epic

[gilded forge]

everything on EGS are either crypto scams, free games that suck but are fine if you're bored or high, or available somewhere else.

[dreamy rose]

so. let me put it in a way you'd understand, you'd rather buy manufactured, flavored cardboard over a real local made pizza?

[full fossil]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/843380/Super_Animal_Royale/

[full fossil]

just look at the store page and find out how shit this is

[silk island]

no? i just don't like the art style of SAR

or the gameplay concept

[full fossil]

the fact that the game has a fanbase

[dreamy rose]

the same way you don't like how a competent pizza looks?

[silk island]

excuse me i love a good locally made pizza

[full fossil]

BROTHER WHERE DID A PIZZA COME FROM STOP TRYING TO USE ANALOGY

[silk island]

man your logic is so twisted

[dreamy rose]

yeah then maybe you'd support smaller studios if that was true.

[silk island]

i don't particularly like battle royale games in general

[full fossil]

why support smaller studios if u can play a better game from a main studio with more player base and support?

[silk island]

i agree that smaller studios deserve more recognition because indie studios have made better games than a lot of AAA studios have, and I would support pixile studios if they made a game that interested me. Battle Royale games just do not.

[dreamy rose]

Fortnite is full of crybabies and children. thats not a fanbase i want to be apart of.

[full fossil]

ok then play SAR dont start comparing it with a pizza

[silk island]

...literally thats how most multiplayer games work.

most MP games are full of immature people.

[full fossil]

smaller studios should be supported but im saying if u did like battle royale would u play fortnite or SAR?

[silk island]

fortnite, because i prefer its art style and the fact that it lets people create their own worlds and maps for it.

[full fossil]

give me a single game with no crybabies and children

[gilded forge]

same. they're all the same really, and get really stale.

[gilded forge]

bg3

[full fossil]

multiplayer games*

[dreamy rose]

Pixile are the local pizza shops making gorgeous pizza and Epic is the big Dominos taking cardboard and crayons and calling it pizza.

[dreamy rose]

Easy. Perfect Dark.

[full fossil]

ok and who in the world plays that

[dreamy rose]

people with taste

[full fossil]

released in 2000 💀

[gilded forge]

yeah it's goldsrc

[dreamy rose]

your arguments gonna be something childlike like "the graphics suck"

[silk island]

okay except no they're not

damn i get you dislike epic but stop discrediting their impact on the game industry. they made a game that millions of people enjoy. i get you don't like epic and that's fine, tim sweeney isn't some stand up guy and i fully realize that but damn i've never seen someone hate on epic as much as you have

[dreamy rose]

bet you think Half Life sucks too

[full fossil]

no? my arguement is that the game was made in 2000 and that it probably has no playerbase consdiering no one has heard about it

[silk island]

okay half life is an amazing franchise

if you haven't played half life, you should

[full fossil]

mb im not that old respect the game

[dreamy rose]

you didn't even know about Perfect Dark nor about half life clearly

[full fossil]

mb so i should be above 20?

[dreamy rose]

i'm clearly more knowledgeable about shooters than you are.

[full fossil]

to be relevant in this arguement?

[silk island]

and you're also a very angry person

[full fossil]

YOU PLAY SAR

[dreamy rose]

if you looked at my steam you'd see i havent touched that game in over a year. and you;d see i've moved to to playing better shooters than Battle royales

[silk island]

i'm 23 and i never heard of perfect dark either so thats a dumb argument if he tried to make that lol

[full fossil]

what games now

[full fossil]

mb

[silk island]

im not talking about you lol you're fine

[full fossil]

oh ok

[silk island]

bionic just seems to hate everything relating to Epic

[full fossil]

yeah seems like it

[dreamy rose]

Half Life. Counter Strike Source, DAY OF DEFEAT.

[silk island]

...the fuck? half life isn't a BR

[bronze totem]

tf is happening here lol i wanted to know where wan show was but people are having world war 15 here

[full fossil]

counter strike source

[silk island]

and neither is CS: S

[gilded forge]

I just refuse to have epic installed bc I don't like having like 4 different launchers on my system. I'd rather just have 1.

[full fossil]

oh you see this is actually ww29

[bronze totem]

i can tell

[silk island]

gog galaxy allows seamless integration with most launchers

[full fossil]

wait what did u want to know mark

[bronze totem]

i wanted to know why wan show was late if anyone knew lol

[full fossil]

isnt that from 2011

[silk island]

also to be fair why does it matter if you have one or 4 launchers installed? if you had limited storage space i'd understand but like to be fair fragmentation kind of, well, comes with PC gaming.

[full fossil]

why not just play cs2

[dreamy rose]

close, but its from 2004

[full fossil]

not sure what that is sorry

[gilded forge]

I literally have like 200 gog games on my library because old games consistently go on sale for less than $1

[silk island]

LTT's weekly live show

[full fossil]

oh ok

[bronze totem]

💀

[full fossil]

bionic lets stop arguments play the games u want to

[silk island]

they're relatively new to ltt probably

[full fossil]

my grammar

[dreamy rose]

Why play CS2 when you can go back to Goldsource and enjoy classic gaming?

[bronze totem]

fairs

[full fossil]

ok bud ur a bit odd

[full fossil]

yeah i only found linus like 2 months ago after my friend sent me a tutorial of his

[dreamy rose]

having taste isn't odd.

[silk island]

man i get the idea of playing old games for nostalgia but suggesting younger ppl to play old MP games like Counter-Strike Source is a bit unreasonable due to the poor graphics

[full fossil]

sorry bionicseaserpent have a good day

[full fossil]

exactly i would rather play apex or cod due to the fast pace gaming and graphics

[dreamy rose]

what so you can only suggest modern releases to younger people?

[bronze totem]

boy was the timing immaculate hahah

[gilded forge]

on a technical level of basic framework, GoldSrc is Source 2.

[dreamy rose]

what a dumbass take

[full fossil]

wdym

[silk island]

no, but nobody young wants to play a MP game with a near-dead playerbase

[gilded forge]

the same way that Starfield is technically just a heavily modded Morrowind.

[full fossil]

so according to you i should play a game from the 2000s because it reflects more taste

[dreamy rose]

"NO, YOU CANT TOUCH PORTAL 2!!! you're 8! you wouldn't understand it"

[silk island]

play what you want dude hes just a grouchy human

[full fossil]

realised lol

wait what do u play @silk island

[bronze totem]

whatever drama happened recently but i assume we shouldn’t talk about it?

[silk island]

portal 2 is actually amazing

[full fossil]

its ww29 be careful soldier

[dreamy rose]

play whatever the fuck you like just don't diss what you've never tried or seen.

[full fossil]

i have tried sar

[silk island]

people are entitled to their opinions

but you're a bit, well, um, forceful with yours

[full fossil]

just a bit

[bronze totem]

don’t wanna trigger ww24 part 2

[full fossil]

yep

[dreamy rose]

they shouldn't be blabbing "oh this sucks, its shit" without ever actually trying it.

[full fossil]

did you not read what i said open ur eyes lad

[silk island]

...if they've actually tried SAR and didn't like it then there's no reason to say that

[full fossil]

^^^^^^^^^

[silk island]

which they said that they did

[manic torrent]

Some people shouldn't be though

[gilded forge]

sorry? what drama? I only know about bread 🍞

[full fossil]

how did u come up with ur name lol

[silk island]

I LOVE BREAD

[dreamy rose]

Perfect Dark is THE GOAT. yet the response is "its from 2000 💀"

[gilded forge]

insomnia

[silk island]

🍞

[full fossil]

ahh ok

[dreamy rose]

now imagine the response Goldeneye gets

[full fossil]

ok so werent we arguing about SAR

[silk island]

most people also don't have a Nintendo 64

[full fossil]

so u lost that arguement so u changed to perfect dark

[dreamy rose]

no need for an N64.

[full fossil]

im not going to play a game from the 2000s if i am not interested to play new games

[full fossil]

bionic go sleep u need it

[silk island]

lol

[gilded forge]

you assume most people play N64 games on real hardware and don't do a little goofy internet thing

[dreamy rose]

https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/perfect_dark

[full fossil]

OMG mate

[dreamy rose]

check

[full fossil]

no one is going to emulate a game 😭

[silk island]

actually a lot of people do

esp. when it comes to Switch games

[full fossil]

no but im saying in terms of this

[dreamy rose]

this aint emulation chief

[merry gull]

got spooked by my bunnies
i walk in the room they have and i see 18 glowing eyes look right at me

[full fossil]

alright let me try perfect dark because apparently i dont have taste

[silk island]

too many bunnies

[dreamy rose]

if you read it you'd see its an x86 RECOMP. which means NATIVE PORT.

[full fossil]

is that what u want me to do

[silk island]

nah dude play what you want

[merry gull]

only 9

[silk island]

mate just drop it

[full fossil]

lol

[silk island]

its clear this is getting too heated

[full fossil]

that would genuinely be scary

[silk island]

its been too heated for a little while now

[dreamy rose]

i'd rather you actually play through it yes.

[full fossil]

no thanks

[silk island]

they don't want to, respect their opinion

[full fossil]

im going to leave byee

great typing practice thanks bionic

[dreamy rose]

cool. they can miss out. sucks to be them.

[silk island]

i also haven't played it, nor do i intend to

[full fossil]

sucks to be them

[dreamy rose]

cool. sucks to be you i guess.

[silk island]

cool sucks to have preferences i guess

lol

[full fossil]

im so sad i miss out on a game i have never heard of 🤦‍♂️

[silk island]

i have a very particular preference when it comes to FPS games and they typically have to include rpg elements

e.g. borderlands

[full fossil]

story games are fun

ooh

[silk island]

@full fossil if you haven't played or heard of borderlands, its an amazing fps-rpg game series, i've been meaning to go back to it but my motivation for games has been kinda dead lately aside from Spider-Man 2

[full fossil]

is it free

[silk island]

no

[full fossil]

how much

[silk island]

i dunno actually

[full fossil]

ill watch some gameplay and see

[gilded forge]

the Borderlands Handsome collection is on sale a lot

[dreamy rose]

right. well i'm off to go smoke some Motherfuckers and defeat an entire alien race in perfect dark.

[full fossil]

ur so cool

[silk island]

okay?

no need to announce your departure this ain't an airport

[full fossil]

bye guys

[dreamy rose]

nah, fuck it. i'mma do some classic multiplayer.

[full fossil]

bro no one cares stop talking to yourself in a public chat

[silk island]

its super fun but it depends on what games you're into

[full fossil]

yeah ill have a look

bye @silk island

[silk island]

bye!

[gleaming harbor]

never knew there were pride flags in fallout 76

[gilded forge]

I didn't know it was still online /s

[graceful burrow]

based

[silk island]

something i just found out: a lot of games on epic are also drm free meaning they don't have any drm at all similar to GOG

but idk what gog's revenue share model is

[crystal anchor]

hi

anybody here uses rainmeter?

[dreamy rose]

if you wanna customise a desktop just use KDE Plasma

[crystal anchor]

oh that's new

never heard of KDE Plasma

[dreamy rose]

of course, because its Linux. people pay Zero attention to Linux but its genuinely a better desktop experience.

[crystal anchor]

well i'm not using linux

[silk island]

bruh

don't suggest linux out of the blue

[dreamy rose]

Go ahead, stick a distro on a USB and give it a whirl.

[silk island]

most people don't care about or want to use linux, they want to stick with whats comfortable

[crystal anchor]

the meme for linux user can't talk about anything but linux is 100% true

[silk island]

Bruh can you not?

[graceful burrow]

you're not gonna get through to them

they've been doing this for over a year

[dreamy rose]

can YOU not?

[silk island]

i used to

[silk island]

you're the one trying to shove linux down people's throats

[silk island]

bruh seriously?

[dreamy rose]

encouraging someone to give something a go isn't shoving it down their throat,

[silk island]

it is if its completely and utterly unsolicited

you gave someone a suggestion when they weren't looking for it

[small wedge]

[crystal anchor]

anyhow, i just format my PC, was thinking of getting cool looking rainmeter themes

[graceful burrow]

yes, seriously
even when the person makes it abundantly clear they dont want to use linux, he still presses
he basically harasses people over it

[silk island]

how has he not been banned

[small wedge]

Windows 11 is the way

[graceful burrow]

ask a mod

[crystal anchor]

@silk island you know where a good spot to find rainmeter skins?

[graceful burrow]

if you can find an active one
they've just fuckin disappeared tonight

[dreamy rose]

Windows is awful for customisation. KDE does it all.

[silk island]

except no its not

[crystal anchor]

i mean, sure yeah, good for you, not interested in linux

[graceful burrow]

like i said, dont bother

[dreamy rose]

sure is.

[silk island]

fair enough, most people aren't

[silk island]

deviantart, visualskins, and rainmeter-skins.com might be good sources

[crystal anchor]

also, i've been meaning to ask, what's the language/script that you use to write rainmeter script

[dreamy rose]

Cool. dont @ us for help when windows pulls some outrageously vague error shit on you cause its windows and never works.

[graceful burrow]

i mean, he's def not gonna be @'ing you lol

[dreamy rose]

his loss\

[graceful burrow]

he's free to ask any of us willing to help with a windows error

[shut lichen]

don't be a clown

[crystal anchor]

what a clown

[silk island]

um, mate, you do know that the vast majority of people here use Windows right?

[graceful burrow]

eh
you dont bring much to the table in this regard anyway

[shut lichen]

they never do

[dreamy rose]

the only clown i'm seeing is the one Epic shill.

[crystal anchor]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[silk island]

ah yes still calling me an Epic shill despite the fact that i've already said a) I don't like fortnite and b) I don't particularly like Tim Sweeney as a character

[shut lichen]

who?

[silk island]

apparently me

[graceful burrow]

they think evelyn is an EGS shill because she's using the launcher
that's pretty much the gist

[silk island]

for having a positive opinion of the epic games launcher

[dreamy rose]

Evelyn. talking about "EGS" better than steam. bro nobody agrees.

[crystal anchor]

its called lua right? or is it something like that, would like to learn at least basic scripting for rainmeter

[silk island]

i never said EGS was better than Steam the fuck

[crystal anchor]

thanks

[silk island]

i just said it has a nice interface...

yet you turned it into a whole toxic mess

[dreamy rose]

you're the one who said you couldn't sort by playtime on steam.

[shut lichen]

while I heavily disagree that EGS is anywhere near steam in functions or looks, something saying they think its nice goesn't make them a shill you fucking clown

[crystal anchor]

dude @dreamy rose can you stfu for a minute

[silk island]

i forgot the option was there because I rarely ever use the library cards in the Steam library interface

[crystal anchor]

you can argue all you want later, let the rest help me with something here

[dreamy rose]

Silence. leave it.

[silk island]

i only use the list element

not the shelves

[shut lichen]

ah yes "I don't want to use linux" "GO TRY LINUX"

🤡

[dreamy rose]

ok, but that's on you, because you said it wasn't there at all. which was wrong.

[graceful burrow]

here we fucking go again

[silk island]

we are not fucking doing this again

[graceful burrow]

i'd call a mod but they dont care

[dreamy rose]

i'm not. beacuse i already proved you wrong.

[silk island]

i dunno what rainmeter uses for skin creation sadly

[crystal anchor]

that's fine thanks

[silk island]

try checking the rainmeter website for any documentation

[silk island]

you were a complete and utter dick about it

[graceful burrow]

broski just stop replying to them they're baiting you

[crystal anchor]

ok have fun arguing guys, im gonna do some skin hunting

[graceful burrow]

have fun

[dreamy rose]

GL HF

[silk island]

meh i can still call them a dick because they were one

[graceful burrow]

god this server fuckin sucks tonight

[silk island]

lmao sorry

[dreamy rose]

[silk island]

aaaaaaand i'm done lol you're a massive troll and a massive jerk

[graceful burrow]

[dreamy rose]

[graceful burrow]

[arctic pollen]

2AM - pot of coffee?

[strange elk]

Well the year is 2023, this year we are currently in. The drive was made available in 2013 and the box set was made later than 2019 since it has the rise of skywalker

[fierce moth]

might do a bit of saving and get the wf-1000xm5's

@strange elk is this an external drive or a Blu-ray tv centre type unit or is it an internal PC drive?

[strange elk]

Asus BW-16D1HT

[polar fern]

Asus BW-16D1HT ok

[full fossil]

Gentlemen, I have a thing to say

[polar fern]

Is this in a case, or in a external enclosure?

[full fossil]

I fucking hate Tensorflow. Thank you.

[polar fern]

Cool story. Thanks

[full fossil]

Tensorflow is the only python library that can fuck up a download.

[polar fern]

I’ve heard things

[strange elk]

Coolermaster HAF XB Evo

[full fossil]

You need to import an unused package that you will use ONLY to download a model.

[strange elk]

Just slapped BTTF PT2 4k in and it spins normally

First 3 bluray star wars movies so far they spin really fast though

[polar fern]

That’s a bit of a tight case for a drive that emits heat like that

[full fossil]

Tensorflow is also passing stuff like

[polar fern]

Bttf?

[strange elk]

Back to the future

[polar fern]

Oh that’s a good one

[full fossil]

Imagine having 3 models. All of them are literally the same and they're differentiable only by the size. BUT suddenly when you load the smaller model, things just got ruined instantly.

[strange elk]

Id know

[strange elk]

Its in the top bay, the bottom one isnt occupied

[polar fern]

I actually prefer watching stuff in 1080P or such because it retains that film grain/fuzzy, whereas 4K is too ultra-realistic for my taste.

[strange elk]

I plan on watching in 1080/1440p mostly, but I like to have the higher quality anyway (especially in this case since it was like half the current amazon price)

[polar fern]

Which type of BD is Phantom Menace?

[strange elk]

Idk, bluray. Its the skywalker saga box set

[polar fern]

It could be a disc that’s not quite compatible with the drive

Or the authoring could be fucked somehow

[strange elk]

Im assuming that, as its formatted weirdly as far as specifications and theres a couple typos on the box as well lol

[polar fern]

Well there you go

Also, back to the future 2 is an hour and like 20 minutes whereas Phantom Menace is like two hours and 20 minutes

It could be the layering

[polar fern]

The more layers and stuff the harder the laser has to work and the more it will heat up

[strange elk]

Its got like 6 or 9 "angle" tracks which are 20gb each

Idk if that would do it but BTTF has 2 73gb tracks

[polar fern]

Oh, those are alternate camera angles or something like that

[strange elk]

They just all have different translated opening texts from what I could find, also different sub tracks for some reason

[polar fern]

When was it released?

[strange elk]

All im seeing for a date is the last movie on there, which was released in 2019

[polar fern]

Probably some multi outsourced thing to just pump out a collection people will buy

I suspect that not all of the disks were authored by the same company

Disks? Discs? Yeah.

i’ve had something similar happen with VHS collections funny enough.

[strange elk]

huh

They seem to LOOK alright from the first bit at least

[polar fern]

Physical media production is a complex and fascinating industry

[strange elk]

Not that my screen is the best either. Phone and laptop have better ones

[polar fern]

Mhm

My girlfriend got like the second cheapest smart TV with one of her pandemic stimulus checks

Unfortunately, that is kind of coming back to bite us, now that we want to use it for more things

It’s a 4K smart tv, Samsung

[full fossil]

Does it do 60hz at least or no lol

[strange elk]

We have one of the older 4k smart TVs when they were really starting to come into the market. Its pretty much ancient

[polar fern]

It’s definitely the second cheapest 4K, smart TV, that was available at the time by a reputable brand

Yeah 60 hz

[full fossil]

I want a TV for my room honestly but I am so poor lmao

[polar fern]

I would really like to have two more HDMI ports and at least a second coaxial port, so I can connect my old consoles plus have the dvd & cable box not compete for a port

I am also poor, but thankfully I do have disability income

[strange elk]

The screen I'm using right now is just an old "1080p" visio tv. Need to get a new monitor

[polar fern]

One of the issues that I am having, is that any monitors or TVs or anything, that is even the slightest bit better than what we have is hugely more expensive

[strange elk]

Meanwhile on my wall is a plasma tv with horrible overscan

And some decent splotching

[full fossil]

Does it have burn in

[polar fern]

Like I would love to get 2x27 inch higher end monitors for my setup, but there is no way in hell that I could afford them because they would be almost $400 a piece

Don’t put a magnet near the plasma screen, it will screw it up

[full fossil]

Last TV I had was plasma and I used it as a monitor it had horrible burn in

The win10 Taskbar got burnt to the screen lol
